Listen: 111 tell you. I t is fifty yearsSince the fair day I laid my treasure here.

But yesterday to me the time appears;Ages ago to you, I know, my dear.

Upon this palm, now withered as my cheek,Love laid his first kiss, doubting and afraid I

Oh, swift and strong across me while I speakComes memory of love's might, my little maid

I yet was so unconscious! fTwas a night— , - *Some festal night; my sisters were above,

Not really quite ; but I, cloaked all in white,Waited below, and, fastening my glove,

Looked up with smiling ppeech to him who stoodObserving me, so still and so intent,

I wondered somewhat at his quiet mood,Till it flashed on mo what the eiteuce meant.

What sudden fire of dawn my sky o'erBpread!"What low melodious thunder broke my calm !

Could I be dreaming that this glorious headWas bending low above my girlish palm?

His majesty of mien proclaimed him king;His lowly gesture paid; " I am your slave ; "

Beneath my feet the firm earth seemed to swing,Unstable as storm-driven wind and wave.

Ah, beautiful, and terrible and sweetThe matchless moment ] Was it life or death,

Or day or night ? For my heart ceased to beat,and heaven and earth changed in a single breath.

And, like a harp some hand oi power doth smiteTo sudden harmony, my soul awoke,

And, answering, rote to ma ten his spirit's height,Whii** not a word the mystic silonce broke.

As, steadying my whirling thoughts, I stroveTo grasp a truth so wondrous, HO divine.

I shirt this baud, this little tinted glove,To keep its secret mine, and only mine.

And like an empty show, the brilliant hoursPassed by, with beauty, music, pleasure thronged,

Phantasmagoria of light and flowers;But only one delight to me belonged,—

One thought, one wish, one hope, one joy, one fearOne dizzy rapture, one star in the sky—

The solemn sky that bent to bring God near ;I would have been content that night to die.

With these words he fell back sense-less, the half-open letter fluttering fromhis fingers to the floor. Fortunately thepoliceman was in time to catch him, andlay him on the sofa. For a moment theboy was forgotten, every one pressingaround the master of the house.

" Is it astroke f" asked the policeman,nnxiouly. " What does it mean ?"

At any other time Mrs. Somers wouldhave been reticent about family affairs;but she was too flurried to think clearly.Surprised out of herself she took herudience, unconsciously, into her confi-

dence."No. it's not a stroke," she answered,

with the experience of long years ofnursing. " His face isn't awry, you see;and he's only limp, not paralyzed.There, I've opened his cravat; and now,Jane, bring some water. It's but afainting fit; he often has 'em when he sworried; often, I raeah since his daughterwent away. She run off, yon know, tenyears ago. He's never forgiven her, orrather she'snever—leastwayof late years—asked to be forgiven. The last timewas when she came herself, just after shewas married, on a night as bad as this."All this while Mrs. Somers was busy intrying to revive her master, chafing hishands, holding smelling salts to him,even ordering the window opened. "Heturned her from his doors in a perfectrage—I never seed him so angry aforeor since. But he's been sorry for itmany and many a time, I know. I haveheard him sign so ! He was a-thinkingof her. He'd have forgotten all, yearsago, if she would have come again; butshe was as proud as him; I don't knowwhich was the prouder. She went toforrin parts with her husband—he'd beenher music teacher, you see—that's whatmade Mr. Ascot so angry—and she hasnot been heard of for these years andyears. There—he's coming to; what a

This last sentence was addressed toher master, who, with a deep drawnsigh, opened his eyes.

, , phis brow, " Margaret "

His eyes wandering about fell on theboy who, during this episode, had en-tirely recovered consciousness and wasnow looking with a strange sort of won-der at Mr. Ascot.

"Please, sir," said the lad, seeing hehad attracted the old man's eye, " canyou tell me where Mr. Ascot lives ? Iwas to go to him—only I lost my way—mother's very sick—and she's had noth-ing to eat to-day "

With these words he broke down witha great sob, the tears streaming alonghis thin, wan cheeks.

"Where's the note? Order the car-riage," baid Mr. Ascot, incoherently,rising to his feet. " I s it from Mar-garet? Did somebody say she was starv-

to her wealthy lovers and had given herheart to the exile.

When Margaret, hopeless of alteringher father's opinion, finally eloped withher lover, his wrath knew no bduhds.He refused to answer her letter an-nouncing the marriage; and when, afew weeks later, she came in person, hehad her literally thrust from the door.

After vainly trying to get some otheremployment—for Mr. Ascot's influencedeprived Andrea of all his pupils—theyoung couple went abroad. For a wliilethey lived in London; but afterwardAndrea returned to Italy and there strug-gled On until he died. He left his wid-ow penniless; she had only moneyenough to pay her passage to America,whither she had resolved to come, inhopes by a last appeal to soften herfather's heart. It was a winter voyageand Margaret caught a violent cold,which threatened an inflammation of thelungs. She could only crawl feebly tothe nearest lodging on the night shelanded—a miserable attic.

The next day Margaret wrote a noteto her father, trusting to her boy to de-liver it, as she was too ill to go out her-self. Knowing that Mr. Ascot wouldbe out during the day, she had deferredsending the lad until toward nightfall;but hardly had he left before she beganto think of the perils he ran alonein that great city. Perhaps, Shesaid to herself, he has faiien downsome open area ; perhaps he sank coldand insensible in some bank of snow.When eight o'clock struck from a neigh-boring steeple, and still her boy did notreturn, she became almost wild withfright. Ten o'clock came, but still noson. She listened intensely for thesound of his feet, but she heard nothingbut the roar of the storm. At last heranxiety and fear rose to frenzy ; she wassure her boy was dead. Eleven o'clockstruck. Her candle had burned downinto the socket and was almost on thepoint of expiring. Suddenly the soundof carriage wheels, muffled by the snow,was heard ; the carriage stopped. Sure-ly that was the opening of the streetdoor ; there were steps ascending thestairs. Yes, she could not be mistaken,they were the steps of her boy ! Thedoor of her room flew open and her sonrushed ia.

" Mother, mother!" he cried, flinginghis arm eagerly around her, ' ' I came assoon as I could. And oh ! mother, Ihave brought grandfather with me.See!"

She looked past her son, scarcely be-lieving her own eyes. There, just be-hind her boy, stood her father. Sherose up in bed; sue held out her arms.

"Father !" she sobbed." Margaret, my child !" And then

they were locked in each other's arms,and both were in tears.

" I can die in peace now," she mur-mured, after a while, as she clung to herfather's breast, "since you have for-given me. You will promise to take careof Thornton?"

".Die!" cried the father, rising boltupright and fairly lifting her from thebed, all the strength of his youth com-ing back in that supreme moment."You shall not die. You are goinghome with us ; we have brought blankets,food, everything. The risk is not so

" I—I am not strong as I used to be ; Ithink I am getting old ;" and he lookedpiteously at Mrs. Somers and sank againon the sofa.

"Drink this," said the housekeeper,handing him a restorative.

He drank it and rallied."Ah! it is her—her writing," speak-

A moment more and Mr. Ascot him-self led the way into a warm, spaciousdrawing-room.

"There's a roaring fire ready," hesaid. " I always have one waiting forme when I come home from dining out.Where's the housekeeper? Didn't Itell John to bring her at once ? Ah !here Mrs. Somers comes. Somethingto revive him, quick! Good heavens !if he should die after all."

"Poor little dear !" said Mrs. Somers,as she poured a restorative down histhroat. ' ' There, Jane, give me theblankets while I wrap him up. Ah ! he'scoming to."

The boy opened his eyes, looked in afar-off way at Mrs. Somers, and thenglanced, dreamily, about the room. Ev-idently his senses had not yet quite comeback.

"Mother, mother," he murmured." I can't find grandfather—and it's socold. I'm so

His head dropped on her shoulder andhis eyes closed again. One of his hands,which up to this time had been tightlyshut, opened weakly, and a note fell tothe floor.

Mr3. Somefs did not see the note.Something in the boy's look had startled , * .— _». , ,,her. She gave a quick glance up at her imprisonment or even death,master; then she began to tremble all Andrea Filhppo had, when

"Get your cloak and bonnet, Mrs.Somers, a few blankets—a bit of food—there's not a minute to lose. Good God!Margaret dying, and we wasting ourtime here ! No, my brave little fellow ;your mother shall not die."

In a few minutes, during which thethoughtful Mrs. Somers had provided abiscuit and some hot tea for the boy, thelittle party set forth. While the carriageis rolling over the snow, its destinationbeing one of the most obscure streets ofthe great metropolis, let us say a fewwords about the daughter.

Margaret Ascot had been one of thosesweet-tempered, sympathetic naturesthat everybody loved. Beautiful, ac-complished, wealthy and well born, shehad crowds of suitors, but at nineteenshe turned from them all, and gave herheart to a penniless lover. This was notbecause she was foolishly romantic, likeso many others, but because her suitorwas worthy of her in every way exceptriches. He was only a poor musicteacher, an Italian exile—for this was indays now fortunately long ago, beforeItaly was free, and to be an Italianpatriot meant bunishment_ or life-long

over.ing by her full of interested anxiety, didnot observe this look, for his attentionhad been attracted by the note, which henow stooped to pick up. Then he pro-ceeded to take out his glasses hi orderto read the superscription.

" Perhaps this may throw some lighton the matter," he' said. " The poorlad has been sent out on an errand andhas fainted from cold, and perhaps hun-ger. What! what! Good God!" Hishands were shaking like leaves in an au-tumn wind. In the deep stillness thepaper rattled with startled noise. " I tcan't be—it can't be ! Mrs. Somers,your eyes are younger than mine —read,read; isthataddress—is it—mine—Thornton Ascot?"

As he spoke in choked, convulsivegasps, Mrs. Somers leaned forward toread. The motion roused the boy again,and he opened his eyes—this time withmore of consciousness in them—and hefixed a long, questioning, puzzled lookon Mr. Ascott.

"Merciful heaven!" the latter said,staggering like one struck with palsy," it is her eyes—her eyes "

hardlymore than a boy, joined in the insurrec-tion of '48, and had been compelled afterits failure to fly the country. He nadcome to America, and, being pennilesshad been compelled to take up the firstpursuit that offered itself. In his ownland nearly everybody has some knowl-edge of music; but Andrea was an ama-teur of more than ordinary merit, andhe naturally became a teacher of sing-ing. Margaret Ascot was his favoritepupil. He saw in her everything thatyouthful manhood in its highest typeadmires ; Bhe saw in him a hero and amartyr. Compared with the prosaicyoung men of business or the cold, cal-culating lawyers, or the idle men of

J fashion, who constituted the bulk of herj admirers, he was a prince in disguise, aI young god!

Parents do not sufficiently make al-lowances for the imaginative elements

I of their daughters. They fancy that atnineteen girls can feed as their mothersdo at forty; that the dry husks of a mat-ter-of-fact life are sufficient for them. Itis not so, and Mr. Ascot, though a sens-ible man in other respects, could notunderstand why his daughter was cold

physicians—the best—shall be called in.No, you shall not die ! You have notcome home to die."

Nor did she die. Our simple tale hasalready been too long in the telling, orwe might narrate how the sense of restand peace that grew up in her now, theskillful care of the best physicians, andthe knowledge that her boy's future wasassured, all combined to work a curethat, otherwise, might have been re-garded as almost miraculous.

To-day there is no more beautifulwoman of her years in that great citythan Margaret. She lives only for herfather and her boy; they come, atleast, before everything else. But shedoes not exclude herself entirely fromsociety. To the select and cultivatedcircle of which she is the center andchief ornament, she gives freely of hervaried accomplishments and of her ex-quisite charm of manner. «But thememory of her dead husband is stillgreen in her heart and ever will be ; andthough men of high station and evenworld-wide celebrity would woo her, ifshe would, to be the light of their home,they know, one and all, that her first andlast love lies buried in that lonely graveon the blue shores of the Riviera, towhich, every year or two, she makes apilgrimage.

Cruelty to Children,Too often, from ignorance of 'signs of

approaching disease, a child is punishedfor what is called idleness, listlessness,sulkiness;. and punished, too, in the un-wisest way, by an increase of tasks andconfinement to the house, thus overtask-ing still more a brain already overtasked,and depressing still more, by robbing itof oxygen and exercise, a system alreadydepressed.

Are you aware, I ask again, of all this ?I speak earnestly upon this point, be-cause I speak with experience. As asingle instance: A medical man, a friendof mine, passing by the schoolroom,heard one of his own little girls scream-ing and crying, and went in. The gov-erness, an excellent woman, but whollyignorant of the laws of physiology, com-plained that the child had of late becomeobstinate, and would not learn; andihat,therefore, she must punish her by keep-ing her in-doors over the unlearned les-sons. The father, who knew that thechild was usually a very good one, lookedat her carefully for a little while, senther out of the schoolroom, and thensaid, " That child must not open a bookfor a month." " If I had not acted so,"he said to me, " I should have had thatchild dead of brain disease within theyear."

Now, in the face of such facts as these,is it too much to ask of mothers, sisters,aunts, nurses, governesses, all who maybe occupied in the =>reof children, espe-

Tho Process of the Formation of Antlira-clte Coal Discovered in the Indian Kidgesiiafi.The Shenandoah (Pa.) Herald, of a

recent date, says : We have before usnow on our table a specimen which isone half anthracite coal, and the otherhalf a solidified sediment, that four yearsago was all soft sediment. For over fouryears there ha,d been itt use, in the In-dian Ridge Shaft of the Philadelphiaand Heading Coal and Iron Company,tills district, a wooden pipe, about sixinches in diameter, made of inch boardshailed together, which served to carrywater from one of the rings in the shaftto a lower level. The rings are boxesaround the sides of the shaft, whichcatch the water coming but of the rock,slate, or coal, and ar6 put in to preventthe water falling down and making aregular shower-bath of the shaft. Atthe ring in question a large spring inthe slate, about thirty feet below thePrimrose vein, had been struck, thewater from which is apparently as pureas crystal. Some four months since itwas found that this wooden pipe hadbecome so clogged with the reddish-brown sediment that is deposited by allmine water, that the open space in it wasnot more than two inches in diameter,and not large, enotlgh to Carry off thewater from the ring. Consequently anew pipe was put in, and the old one,nearly closed with the sediment adheringto its sides, was left standing. Thewater was then turned into the new pipeand cut off from the old one, which issome fifty feet or over in length. OnFriday last, after remaining in the shaftwithout any water passing through itfor over four months, the greater part ofthis old pipe was taken out, and whenbroken open the wonderful phenomenonpresented itself that the sediment wasgradually changing into what appears tobe anthracite coal. About a half inchof the inside of the sediment lining thepipe had changed into coal, and the re-mainder was also gradually changing,the only portions of the sediment re-maining quite soft being that part de-posited first and next the sides of thepipe. A cross section of the pipe nowshows, commencing at the center, first acircle of about a half an inch iu diame-ter surrounding the two inch openingremaining in the pipe, then a circle ofsediment partly turned into coal, andthen the sediment in its natural state andthe sides of the pipe. The surface ofsediment which was exposed to the ac-tion of the atmosphere has changed first,and the same influences or chemicalcombinations which had changed itsnature were gradually operating on therest of the sediment. The process offormation is plainly seen in the sedimentnext that already turned into coal.

Samples of coal taken from the pipehave been tried on the blacksmith fheat the colliery, and it makes an exceed-ingly hot fire, but being of a softer na-ture than the natural anthracite it clink-ers badly. Fortunately there are anyquantity of samples of this wonderlulformation, and those who are unwillingto believe without themselves seeing andtouching can be accommodated. Thereis no Keely motor business about thisdiscovery. A section of the pipe, aboutsixteen feet long, has been left standingin the shaft to see what results will fol-low in the next six months or year, jSamples have also been sent to Gen.Pleasants at Pottsville for examination,and we suppose the public will soon havethe opinion of gentlemen qualified tojudge on this surprising formation—•but if anthracite coal will for_i fromsediment deposited by mine water whenexposed to the action of tbe atmosphereunder certain conditions for a period asshort as four months, what becomes ofall the pet theories of the geologist andmining engineers on the subject ? Howabout the great heat, the millions ofyears of time and tremendous pressurewhich, according to the various theoriesof the heretofore accepted authorities,were necessary to account for our de-deposits of the finest and best fuel yetfound ? '

TJiat little rain of flesh she hadthe other day near Mount Sterling was,for phenomena, nothing extraordinary.Not to mention pitchforks, which everyone has seen it rain, there have beenmany times and in divers places extraor-dinary showers of one thing and anotherfalling like gentle dew from Heaven andlanding upen the just and unjust withoutregard to race, color or previous con-dition. We pass over the Biblical recordof showers of manna for the nourish-ment of the ehosen people, stones forthe annihilation of the hosts opposed toJoshua, and fire arid brimstone for thedestruction of Washington and Brook—we mean Sodom and Gomorrah, andcome to more modern instances of mete-orological eccentricities. The Cincin-nati Commercial has hunted up a columnand more of them.

With a warmer beam ;Now, O Earth, awaken

From thy winter dream!From some land of beauty,

Odorous southern breezesWith her garlands play,

And tho sullen snow-cloudsSlowly drift away.

In the woods and valleysWater softly fio-wp,

Arid its silvery murmursGreet her as she goes.

By the budding hedgerows,Til rough the meadows sweet,

Bright-eyed, starry daisiesSpringing round her feet,

With the fragrant violetsTo her warm lips p»est,

And the timid snowdropsKewtling in her breast.

Many a shrinking flow'rotFrom its nook Rbe wiles

With her tears, more preeioflsThan her sunniest smiles.

Ere (lie sun can Peek themWith too ardent gaze.

Haste then, Earth, arouse thee !Bid thy wild birds eing ;

Ladies' Summer Styles.Mrs. Mary Gordon Gray writes from

New York about the coming styles ofclothing for the summer :

Last summer everybody decked her-self out in a suit of plaid wool goods, jwhich, though soft and light, were cer-tainly warm in July and August. Fortwo or three years previous, heavy grosgrain silks and. the useful but inexpressi-bly warm grenadines, solid black andheavily trimmed, were the regulationcostumes for fashionably attired ladies,no matter what the thermometer mightindicate, or how imminent the danger ofhydrophobia. True, black grenadinewill probably be the standard dress forsummer again, particularly for largecities, but it will be used largely for vis-iting and church, while cool, prettycambrics, percales and ginghams or thedelightfully simple old-fashioned lawns jand organdies, will be seen for less Idressy occasions.

To meet the increased demand for jwash goods, American manufacturershave quite surpassed themselves, andgiven vis the most refined and choice Jvariety of calicoes, cambrics and per-cales ever put into market. Not only in !quality and finish do these goods excelthose of former years, but in combina-tions of color and pattern, somo of thembeing really artistic. When it is addedthat good calico can bo bought for sixcents, and that the choicest of printscommand only eight and ten cents peryard ; that very pretty percales are re-tailing at twelve cents, and that all cotton goods are reduced to surprisinglylow prices, it needs no elaboration ofspeech to prove that economy promisesto be a possibility in the dressing for1876.

Furnishing houses are already busypreparing suits for spring, and it ispleasant to find that simplicity will be aprominent feature of these wash dresses.

Secretary Brlatuw.In striking contrast to the usual Wash-

ington display one finds Secretary Bris-tow quietly living in a house on K streetwhich is by no means spacious or splen-did. Now and then he gives a quietdinner to a few friends, and Mrs. Bris-tow has held her regular Wednesday re-ceptions ; but there has never been anyattempt at show, any apparent desire torival or outshine others. Yet Mrs. Bris-tow is an heiress in her own right tohundreds of thousands; she is universallyadmired and dearly loved by all whoknow her; so it is not quite necessary tobe dishonest. There is only this fact.Where social position and dignity are amatter of heritage; where the signet of

SPONGE PUDDING.—Three eggs, tlieweight of the eggs in butter, sugar andflour. One teaspoouful of cream oftartar, and half a teaspoont'ul of soda. Isbest with wine sauce.

CALEDONIAN CBEAM.—Tlie whites oftwo eggs, two spoonfuls of loaf sugar,two of raspberry jam, two of currantjolly; all to bo beaten together until sothick the spoon will stand alone in it.

A GOOD HAIR OIL.—Take lard andcastor oil, in equal paits, flavored withbitter almonds. It is very good. Apint of sage tea, with a gill of bay rum,tablespoon!ul of salt, and a dozen dropsof ammonia, is as good a remedy for fall-

A Domestic Sorrow.Here is a characteristic conversation

which occurred some time since betweena certain Mrs. Smith and a Mrs. Jones.The husbands of both belong to theBlank Club, and upon a certain occasionthe two wives met and talked over theirgrievances. Said Mrs. Jones: "Mydear, do you know that 1 am unhappy ?"

" No, dear, I had not the remotestidea of anything of that kind. You areliving in such luxury and ease that I sup-posed you to be the happiest of mor-tals."

" Oh, no, I never think of that, for Iam too,.too unhappy."

" What makes you so unhappy ?""Oh, never mind, dear; it does not

concern any one in the world but myself;but I am dreadfully unhappy. I sup-pose that I am the most unhappy personwho lives."

" Do tell me what it is."" Well, my dear, if you will know, it

is this: My husband goes out and staysall night long at the club and plays cards.Ain't that dreadful ?"

Mrs. Smith gazed at Mrs. Jones verycalmly and placidly and pityingly, andthen remarked: " My dear Mrs. Jones, Iwas absolutely frightened; I was. alarmed.I shnddered for fear you were about torelate some terrible mystery. You arenot half as unhappy as I am. I am themost unhappy, miserable woman thatever lived."

" What!" said Mrs. Jones, " you un-happy, and so much admired and ca-ressed by society."

" Yes; the most heart-broken womanyou ever knew."

"What can be the cause of this ?"" Well, I'll tell you, my dear. You

THE Correctional Tribunal of Rouenhas just; bo>>> called upon to decide acase which i n settled a long disputedquestion, vk., whether soiling skimmedmilk was a breach of the law. The courtdecided in the affirmative, declaring that j ing hair as exists. Change the partingmilk without its cream must be consid- ! often; never tie the hair or screw it upered as adulterated. ! with pins. Never wear false braids. In

a word, treat your hair sensibly, and itwill not bo likely to desert you.

IN case a knife or fork handle getsloose, set the handle upon end, fill thecavity with pulverized rosin, then warmthe small part of the knife or fork andinsert it slowly, crowd it down firmlyand hold it in right position until therosin cools enough to set. Aw rosin isnot soluble in water, hot or cold, theknives are not loosened. Where ivoryhandles have become yellow they maybe restored by soaking a few hours in awatery solution of sulphurous acid. Theacid in a gaseous state should not beused, as it will bo likely to make thehandles crack.

CARAMELS.—One-quarter pound ofscraped chocolate, one pound of brownor white sugar, four tablospoonsfuls ofmolasses, one cup of milk, and a pieceof butter size of an egg rolled in flour.Put all the ingredients in a kettle exceptthe chocolate, and when boiling addthat. Boil until it becomes crisp whendropped into water. Then pour in but-tered dishes, and when cold cut hisquares. The caramels should be stirredafter the chocolate is put in.

To REMOVE RUST FROM STEEL.—Din-ner knives sometimes get rusty and maybe brightened by covering with sweetoil; let it stand for forty-eight hours andrub with unslaked lime, or powderedbrick. A fine grain red brick, finelypowdered, is good for polishing knives.Whiting is an excellent article for clean-ing and polishing silver, brittania, tin,etc., when properly used, making it lookalmost like new. They should first berubbed with it wet, then polished withit dry.

The Centennial Fiend.It was only half an hour beforo the

paper went to press, but he walked un-erringly, into the editor's private roomand, dropping his hat over the warningplacard of "Busy Day—Short Calls,"seated himself with easy bar-room po-liteness on the table with the exchanges.He was dressed in an Ulster and soiledruffled shirt, wore an amethyst aboutthe size of a hock glass on his third fin-ger and cluster pin in his bosom. Hetook a " seven-for-a-quarter " cigar fromhis jnouth and, placing it on the editor'sinkstand, remarked confidentially :

" I am going to spend some time thisyear"—

The editor clutched his pen like a dag-ger, and pawing after the few hairs onthe top of his head, said—

—"in Philadelphia"—The young man spat gracefully over

his left shoulder on the new carpet, andresponded—

" Yes, I've done a littfe writin' in myday, and bein' disengaged this. siimmershould like to send a first-class journallike yours"—

The editor fell back in his chair, andgasped—

—"some letters about the Centen-nial."

The interviewer nodded and kickedhis No. Us pensively against the ven-eered panels of the desk.

"Would you like to be packed in iceuntil your friends call for you?" saidthe editor, gloomily, "or shall we for-ward your remains in an aii -tightcasket ?"

Then gazing sorrowfully at the youngman he put his mouth to a speakingtube and asked—

" Are any of. the pressmen at hand ?"Promptly wafted through the tin tube

came the reply—" Red MiKe and Big Dan, sir."The would-be correspondent started

up aghast, pat his hat on, wrong sidoiu front, and buttoned the third buttonof his coat into the second button-hole ;but the newspaper man, taking no morenotice of him than he would of a deadhead advertisement, breathed throughthe tube—

"Give 'em a quarter apiece and letthem come up here. Tell them there isanother of those Philadelphia Centen-nial fellows here, and then pull in a dis-trict telegraph boy and send for »hearse."

Before the last words were in thespeaking-tube the tails of the Ulstercoat sailed out of the private office, anda nervous young man, after trying thedoor of the coat room and diving intothe coal closet, reached tho countingroom door, looked over his shoulder attwo brawny Milesians who had just de-scended from some upper region, missedliis footing for a dozen stairs, accentedhis decent with a heavy bump on thefirst landing, and reached tho street aslie editor wrote the last word of an ar-icle on "the business outlook" andcalmly sent it whirring up in the box tothe composition-room.—Boston Com-mercial Bulletin.

A Letter from the Saviour.Among the countless curiosities of

literature which the search for centen-nial relics has brought to light, a partic-ularly curious one has just been pub-lished in the Mason (Mich.) News. Itpurports to be nothing less than a literaltranslation of a letter written by Christhimself, and found eighteen miles fromLconium sixty-three years after the cru-ifixiou, the original Hebrew copy of

which is said to be still in possession ofa certain family in Mesopotamia. Thecopy furnished the News was broughtfrom England by Mrs. Herbert, ofPlainwell, sixty-three years ago, and wasextremely old when it first came into herpossession. In fact, it crumbled topieces with age, and its owner, who sin-cerely believes it to be the word of God,set about joining the pieces together, atask which took her weeks of persever-ing labor to accomplish. As for the let-'ier itself, it is a simple exhortation tokeep the Sabbath ; to keep the com-mandments ; to "fast for five Fridaysin every year, beginning with GoodFriday;" to " cause them that are bap-tized to go to church and receive t'uesacraments, and be made members of thohuioh ;" together with other good ad-

vice, such as a modern pastor mightproperly write a member of his flockwithout any pretense that it was of di-vine origin. Doubtless, however, thatwhich led to its having been so long andsacredly preserved—almost worshipedas a fetich—is the concluding paragraph,which runs thus :

"Remember, he that hath a copy ofthis letter, written with my own handand spoken with my own mouth, andkoepeth it without publishing it toothers, shall not prosper ; but he thatpubiisheth it to others shall be blessedof me, and though liis sins be in numberas the stars of the sky, and he truly be-lieves in me, they shall be pardoned ;but if he believe not in me and my coinmandments, I will send my plagues uponhim and upon his children and upon hiscattle.; and whosoever shall have, a copyof this letter in his house, nothing shallhurt them—neither lightning, pestilencenor thunder ; and if a woman be in laborand a copy of this letter be about h<>r,and she firmly put her trust in me, fheKhali sufely be delivered. You shullhave no tidings of me but by the HolyScriptures until the Day of Judgment.All goodness, happiness and prosperityshall be in the house where a copy ofthis letter is to be found."

FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1876.

THE COURIER'S MARE'S NEST.The Courier of last week returned to

its attack upon Supervisor Johnson, ofScio, for his vote on the Clerk's salaryand the disposition of the printing ofthe pamphlet report of the Supervisors'proceedings. Leaving Mr. Johnson totake care of the personal part of thearticle, whioh he is abundantly able todo, wejquote, as a basis for brief com-ment, the following paragraph :

"The Courier had no intimation that the sal-ary of the clerk was to be raised, until aftei ithad been done. As to our having the printing atany stated price is a.lsofalte. Mr. Olcott ask-us'to make our bid for printing one thousandcopies. At the time he was superseded by theclerk, we had not pat in our bid. Of course,after that, there was no occasion for us to bid.If we had bid, our price could not have beeuany higher than the price at which we did thesame work the year before, which was $17480tor one thusaiirt copies. So Mr. Tuite & Co.have paid Carr <fe Goulett $150 this year forprinting five hundred copies. They puid some-where from thirty to fiity dollars more than itcould have been done lor, had it been open tocompetition, as Mr. Olcott intended. It is ouropinion, in these hard times, any printing of-fice in the county which can do the work,would have been glad to have done it for $100.If we are right in our calculations the countylost iot).

Now bo it known to our neighbor ofthe Courier, and tlie pnblic generally,that the bill of Messrs. Carr & Goulet,for printing the i>00 pamphlet copies ofthe proceedings, was just $105.50, in-stead of $150, and that 1,000 copieswould have cost less than $150, or ex-actly $144, so that " busting the King "really saved the county the ditfferencebetween $174.80—which the Courier saysit got last year and would have chargedthis—and $105.50, the amount actuallypaid, or just $69.30—for 500 copies wereworth just as much to the county as1,000 would have been. In fact thepublication of the proceedings in pam-phlet form is not only entirely unneces-sary, but without the warrant of law.

And now about that Republican" Ring " whioh put up the Clerk's sal-ary, " unbeknownst " either to the Clerkor the Democratic Supervisors, and laidthe nice little plan to give the Courierthe printing of that pamphlet. A Re-publican Supervisor—and not Mr.Brown, but one the Courier has com-plimented for his fidelity and "absence,"—is responsible for the statement made" frankly " to a Democratic Supervisor :" To tell the truth it was a plan to giveBeal the printing and a good price. Itewas sore and cross over his bill beingout last year, and we thought this theeasiest way to settle it. The Clerk'ssalary was raised to compensate fortreading on his toes. We watched ourchance and put it through when youwere away, and now confound you, youhave kicked it all over and the Clerkgets both the increase of salary and thecontrol of the printing." This is n't theexaot language, for as detailed to us itwas a good deal more " piuted" andforcible. If Olcott at any time pro-posed to take four bids it was after-thought and a violation of the arrange-ment. If the Courier desires to pursuethe subject further we have n't the

slightest objection.m I i i ̂ m I i i —i

" BOURGEOIS," of the Detroit EveningNews, has been interviewing the Hon.George Willard, drawing out of him—not an easy job—his views on both leg-islation and politics. He makes Mr.Willard say that Blaine's chances for aPresidential nomination are not so goodas they were, and assign as the reason:"Well, frankly, I think he has playedthe partizan a good deal too much andtoo often. Has been too anxious to getsnap judgment on the other side of theHouse. Has sown firebrands and irrita-tion where statesmanship would haveenjoined conciliation." More than four-quarters right we guess. Mr. Willardthinks Bristow the coming man, buthas a good opinion of Wm. A. Whaeler,New York, and would favor either Bris-tow and Wheeler or Wheeler and Bris-tow. He looks kindly upon the House" legislative, executive, and judicial ap-propriation bill," and says : " We mustout off excrescences and bring thingsdown to a peace basis. The Govern-ment has been too extravagantly ad-ministered, and Republicans cannot es-cape the responsibility. Nor can theyafford to stand in the way of retrenoh-inent. I concede that the bill is a pret-ty heroic measure for a first earnest at-tempt in that direction, but I think theservice can stand it." And much moreof the same sort. If Mr. Willard willvote as he talks, all right.

ALL SORTS OP PEN-SCRATCHES.

—The cost of living at Washingtonis the great stumbling block in the wayof a reduction of salaries. As houseowners and hotel and boarding housekeepers know just exaotly the contentsof every office-holder's pocket—that isthe exact amount of his salary—andcalculate to get it all, it may about aswell be small as large so far as theaforesaid office-holder is concerned. Asliding-scale tariff is n't to be comparedto the cost-of-living-sliding-scale at thenational capital. Rents and board goup and down with salaries and notwith the price of provisions. And sothe House need u't fear that the Gov-ernment will lose its servants, or theservants be starved, if salaries be re-duced. Anyway let the experiment betried.

—And now, after all the Republicanabuse of Mr. Clymer and his Democrat-ic associates on that investigating com-mittee, for " driving Marsh to Canada,"Mr.Marsh comes and swears that his firstfright was caused by the speech of Mi.Basson the impeachment resolution. Heswears that Mr. Clymer assured him be-fore he left Washington that no harm

SENATOR HAMLIN still wrestles withthe third class postal rates, and onMonday reported a bill whioh was aslight modification of his previous " cu-riosity." Meantime, universities andcolleges and religious associations andscientific bodies and the people gener-ally are paying sixteen cents a poundfor the transportation of catalogues,reports, annuals, quarterlies, magazines,and newspapers. The University ofMichigan has to pay eight centsapiece on its annual catalogue, and the" Cornell Annual Register " comes to usornamented with five two cent stamps.And this to gratify this Mr. Hainlinwho played into the hands of the ex-press companies in the last days of thelast Congress. Will not some Senatormove a substitute for Mr. Hamlin's billof complications and extortion.

MR. CURTIS did not succeed in hiseffort to induce the Republican StateConvention of New York to withholdan indorsement of Senator Conkling asa Presidential candidate, but the largevote he obtained for his amendment ef-fectually loads down the candidate be-fore he is fairly entered for the race.It was an indorsement " to kill," —beinga warning to all other State delegationsthat Mr. Conkling has not that popu-larity at home that guarantees success.It is an indorsement that gives SenatorConkling 70 votes (that is if the entiredelegation shall consider it binding; toturn over to some other candidate, butwhich cannot bring him a vote fromanother State. It is an indorsementwhich scarcely comes under the rule," small favors thankfully received,"—victory and defeat in the same moment.

BUTLER testified before the HouseCommittee on Expenditures in the WarDepartment: "I never did tell a news-paper man anything but what he pub-lished. I would trust a newspaper manwith untold sums of gold, but not withnews." Which is just the reverse ofwhat the newspaper men can say forpoliticians and office-holders of the But-ler stripe. News-telling being the bus-iness of newspaper men Butler couldnot have paid the craft a higher com-pliment.

could come to him because of his testi-mony before the committee. And Mrs.Marsh swears that she had no conversa-tion with Mr. Clymer, touching the caseor the charges against Pendleton whenin Washington before the Belknap ex-pose, as charged. This squelches twoRepublican slanders.

—A correspondent writing fromWashington to the New York Worldabout the coming impeaohment trial (ofBelknap), says " a new Chief-Justicewill preside." He should have said noChief-Justice, as that officer presidesover the Senato as a court of impeach-ment only when the President is on tri-al. He also names Senator Ferry asone of the thirteen Senators who weremembers of the Johnson court of im-peachment. Senator Ferry did nottake his seat in that body until the 4thof March, 1871, nearly three years afterthe trial of Johnson. The World shouldrequire either more care or knowledgeon the part of its Washington corres-pondents.

—It is now in evidence that Marsh,four years or so ago, or after the 2W&-unt publication of 1872, exposing theextortion at Fort Sill, and alleging asthe oause of it the contract be-tween Evans and Marsh, askedSecretary Belknap who he supposedcaused the publication, and was toldthat it was Gen. Hagen. This leavesno doubt of Belknap's knowledge thatMarsh was bleeding or robbing the sol-diers through Evans. He did not inter-foro to right the wrongs of the soldiers>simply because he was a a party to thefrauds and shared the blood money.There can be no doubt of this conclu-sion being correct.

—A " first class " party or " recep-tion " costs the Washington giver$10,000, which don't leave much marginout of the salary of a cabinet officer(only $8,000), and when repeated whit-tles it down to " the little end of noth-ing." And as officers of less salariesmust imitate the show of their suporiors,as near as may be, it is n't to be won-dered at that dishonesty and corruptionrun through all grades of the publicservice. Large salaries is n't the reme-dy, but more frugal living and just alittle old-time but out-of-fashiou hones-ty and honor.

—A little "onpleasantness " is report-ed between the President and his Attorney-Geueral, that lotter that Babcock,being a better lawyer than Pierrepont,saw was a valuable weapon in his be-half and forwarded to his counsel, beingthe cause. Pierrepont says he wrotethe letter by Grant's request. Grantdenies the request, and also denies everseeing the letter before it was in print.But it was written and a copy sent toGrant. How came it on Babcock's ta-ble ? That's the " pint" in dispute.Could n't " Col." Fred, tell V

, It is to be hoped that the glimmerof reason which dictated the platformof the Democrats of Pennsylvania willhave its effect upon those Onio Demo-crats who have taken the soft-moneycraze. The Indiana Democrats, havinghad their convention, may be beyondthe influence ot even a thunder clap;but the Ohio Democrats should be care-ful and not put themselves outside thepale of a healthy publio sentiment.

Montgomery Blair (the member ofthe Blair family who was one of Lin-coln's Cabinet) has written a letter fa-voring the nomination of Tilden forPresident: by the Democracy of course.As the Blairs have for a long time beennoted for spoiling every pie they puttheir fiugers in, as marplots in fact, Til-den has no reason to rejoice in Mont-gomery's backing.

—$l,00Q: that is just the sum it costEvans to get an introduction to Secre-tary Bulknap ; and all tho satisfactionhe got was the information that hispost-tradersbip was given to Marsh.The lion. E. W. Rice, of Iowa, was thelucky go-between who bagged the$1,000. Did he divide with Belknap 'i

We suppose that Fred. Morley, laieof the Detroit Post, has decided not togo to Cairo, Egypt, the Senate havingon Monday confirmed Elbert E. Far-num, of New York, as Agent and Con-8ul-Geueral to that post. Morlaydid n't relish the reduced salary.

THE PAYNE currency bill was de-feated in the House on Monday : that isa motion to suspend the rules and putit on its passage was lost by a vote ofyeas, 81 ; nays, 156. The yea votes, allbut Bagby, of III., Ind., were given byDemocrats. The Republicans votedsolidly with the soft-money Democrats,under the lead ot Holman, and theirnumbers was swelled by a few hard-money Democrats who could not evencompromise on the Payne bill. Gen.Williams, of Detroit, was the onlyMichigan member voting for the motionto guspond. The members of the Houseought to be able to understand that thecountry is heartily tired of their at-tempts to tamper with the currency,—aquestion about which not a corporal'sguard seem to know anything to speakof. If they will pass a bill prohibitingthe sale of gold by the Seoretary of theTreasury, provide a cheap bond to beexohanged for greenbacks of the pres-ent issue, instruct the Secretary of theTreasury to redeem tho ragged andgreasy fractional currency or shinplas-ters in silver (making silver coin a legaltender for sums of $20), and supple-ment these measures with economicalappropriation bills and a revised tariffbills, adjourn and leave the people tomanufacture platforms and make Presi-dents, the country will breathe freer.With every effort being bent to gain alittle political or partisan advantage,either upon the currency or any otherquestion, necessary legislation is beingdaily neglected and the business inter-ests of the country sacrificed. It istime for a change of base.

IT is now understood that the Ro-publican majority in the Senate has de-termined to plant itself like a rockagaiust the reduction of salaries andofficials as proposed in the severalHouse appropriation bills. The over-taxed people will keep an eye on thatwing of the capitol.

Concerning the statement that Sena-tor Thurmau got $50,000 for iris servicesin a case of the Atlantic and GreatWestern Railroad, we have to say thatthe whole story was an unbridled andlicentious misrepresentation, and, wemay add, totally at variance with thefacts.— Cincinnati Commercial (Ind.)

THE MEDICAL COMMENCEMENT.

The 2(>th Annual Commencement ofthe Medical Department was held onWednesday, at 10 o'clock A. M. Afterthe usual opening exercises—prayer andmusic—-the degree of Dootor of Medi-cine was conferred upon and diplomasprosanted to the following graduates :James Anderson, Homeworth, O.Charles Ephraim Regel, Hanover.William Randall Birdsall, yackson.Henry Patrick Birmingham, St. Paul, Minn.Don Alvarado Bisbee,Albert Broek,George Alson Brundage,Josephus Martin Burgess,Alexander X.

crats did a good day's work yosterdayin their State convention in Lancaster.There is much to criticise and gomethings to quarrel with in their resolu-tions, but they have at least abandonedthe false, mischiovouK and dangerousfinancial heresy which they last yearborrowod from their brethren in Ohio.They declare unequivocally their con-viction that gold and silver coin is theonly real money in use among civil-ized peoples, and distinctly reject thedoctrines of John Law, with whosemadness they wero bitten so badly lastautumn. This is a great gain, inasmuchas it helps, as far as the PensylvaniaDemocrats can help, to eliminate apestilent doctrine from our politics.—New York Evening Pout.

The bill inflicting severe punishmenton three-card-monte operators has pass-fd the Iowa Legislature and become alaw, notwithstanding the determinedopposition of gamblers, who not onlytried to bribe somo of the members butresorted to stealing documents to delayits passage. Iowa hitherto has been theparadise of these gamblors, who were inleague with the train hands, and thusdefied detection. It is of record thatthe notorious operator Canada Bill of-fered one company $10,000 a year forthe privilege of " working " its trains,agreeing to confine himself to clergymen.

ClIANftES IN THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY.—

At the recent session of the Board of RegentsW. B. L. Jenny, of Chicago, was appointedProfessor of Architecture and Design; JosephB. Steerc assistant Professor of Paleontologyand Curator of the Museum ; aud Prof. Chee-ver having resigned, Materia Medica was as-signed to Dr. Frothingham. The salary ofDemonstrator Hordinan was raised to $1,000.Applications for the appointment of two ad-ditional professors in the Homeopathic Collegewere not acted upon.

We have the first issue (new series) of theKalamazoo daily Gazette, a twenty-eight col-umn morning sheet, neway and vigorous. Wehope that it will prove a paying venture.One thing is certain it will keep the Republi-cans stirred up during the campaign just opeu-ing.

We have unintentionally omitted to noticethe appearance of the Jackson Patroit in anew dress,—a dress beautiful and tasteful.Such signs of newspaper prosperity are en-couraging.

That Laboratory Deficit.At the session of the Regents held on Wed-

nesday afternoon two reports were made fromthe committee appointed to investigate thelaboratory accounts. The majority report wassigned by Regents Olimie and Rynd, andstates the methods pursued in making the in-vestigations, and the results by years, from1864-65 to and including 1874-75. leakingcertain deductions for interest and servicescharged in account by Dr. Douglas, and, asthe committee thought, irregularly allow-ed by former boards or committees, the com-mittee reached the conclusion that "the differ-ence between the receipts ol the chemical lab-oratory and the amount reported by Dr.Douglas is $8,523.46." But immediately fol-lowing this sentence is the paragraph " Weappend a general summary, showing theamounts of money received at the chemicallaboratory and the amount reported as suchreceipts, showing a deficit of $6,984.01."W hick statement is corrtctwe cannot discover.The latter result is essentially reached bythe minority report ol Regent S. S. Walker,and the table referred to in the last sentencequoted, is embodied in his report. Weshall give the figures more in detail anotherweek.

Neither report attempted to show whetherthe money unaccounted for was in the handsof Dr. Douglas or Dr. Rose, and both reportsrefuted the charge made that Dr. Douglashad received commission on purchasesof chem-icals or apparatns—though Dr. Rynd subse-quently repudiated his own report and madesuch charges against Dr. Douglas. Alter thereport was made Mr. Beal was heard in be-half of Dr. Rose, and considerable discussionfollowed, resulting in referring the matter tothe Finance Committee, Regent Estabrookbeing substituted on the same instead of Re-gent S. S. Walker, with instructions to pursuethe investigations and determine,' if possible,whether the deficit is in the hands of Dr.Douglas or Dr. Rose. A resolution was alsoadopted, by a vote of 6 to 8,—Messrs. McGow-an and E. C. Walker voting no—reinstatingDi Rose and restoring his salary from thedate of suspension.

The committee spoke in very complimenta-ry terms of the assistance rendered or workdone by the accountant, Mr. . Tregaskis, andthe assistant, Mr. McAllister.

We trust that the Finance Committee(Messrs. McGowan, Grant, and Estabrook)now having the matter in charge, will be ableto reach the bottom facts, and until it reportswe will not pronounce the verdict of guiltyaguinst either Dr. Douglas or Dr. Rose. Bothstand on a par and each is entitled to a fairhearing.

The Alumni Meeting1*.The annual reunion of the Law Alumni was

held on Tuesday evening, in the Law Lec-ture room, Prot. Wells being called to pre-side in the absence of the President. The ad-dress was delivered by R. E. Frazer, Esq., ofthis city, his subject being " The Practice ofthe Law—its Perils aud Rewards." It was afine effort and well delivered. An oration wasalso delivered by John A. Moninger, of thegraduating class. The poet of the eveningfailed to "enter his appearance." After theexercises the alumni moved on the GregoryHouse, where the anniversary supper was eatenaud the after supper speeches were made. Anenjoyable time was reported.

The Medical Alumni Association held itsannual meeting at Arbeiter Hall, also onTuesday. The session was, like the evening,a stormy one, the exciting matter being theallopathic anv homeopathic embroglio, or theconnection of the two schools of medicine.As anticipated, an attempt was made to cen-sure the faculty ai the Department of Medi-cine aud Surgery,—for continuing to holdtheir places with that Homeopathic Collegeplanted in their paths like a stumbling block,or its banner flaunting in their laces like thefabled reg rag. The resolutions of censurewere fiually tabled. It was after midnightbefore the alumni got a chance at tha supperprovided. The following officers were electedfor the ensuing year: President—H. F. Lys-ter; Vice-Presidents—F. N. Oakley, H. AOlelrad, M. A. Allen, C. H. Lewis, J. W"Hawxhurst; Secretary—P. B. Rose ; Treasur-er—W. B. Smith.

WASHINGTON.The House Pension Committee has decided

to recommend tho transfer of the Pension Bu-rean to the control of tho War DepartmentEx-Senator Stewart was before the HouseCommittee on Foreign Affairs, last week, andpave his explanation of his connection with thoEmma mine as counsel for James E. Lyon.He contradicted Lyon's story, as told to thecommittee some time ago, in nearlyevery particular Treasurer New hasfinally decided to resign, on accountof a pressure of private businessJ. 8. Evans, tho post-trader at Fort Sill, wasbefore the Committee on Expenditures of theWar Department, the other day, and detailedall the circumstances surrounding his obtaining

Eermission from Marah to remain at Fort Sill.t was a m»tt«r of necessity with him, he eaid,

to come to terms with Marsh. Secretary Bel-knap told Evans he had promised Marsh a placeand Marsh had selected Fort Sill. Evans sawMarsh, who appeared to understand all aboutthe matter. He went to Now York with Marsh,where a written contract was signed. Evanssaid he was introduced to the Secretary of Warby Oen. Rico, of Iowa, and paid him §1,000for the introduction. Ho thought thinwas enough, though Rice wanted $1,500.Respecting what has befn said about the re-cent correspondence of tho Attorney-generalwith District Attorney Dyer, intended to reflectupon Gen. Babcock. ho (Babcock) makes andauthorizes tho publication of the followingstatement: " I found a copy of the letter lyingopen upon my desk at the Executive mansion.I do not know ho w or by whom it came there.It was without any envelope or direction toanybody. It was not marked official or confi-dential. There waa nothing to show that it wasintended for the President, and he informs methat he never saw it. The copy appears tohave been made in the Attorney-general'soflice. Finding this copy open and withoutdirection upon my desk, I presumed it was putthere for my inspection and use, and iccord-ingly I placed it in the hands of my counsel forsuch action as they might think proper in re-gard to it."

TUE witness Marsh, about whom there hasbeen such a hubbub, was before the House Ju-diciary Committee again the other day, and re-repeated his testimony against Belknap. Hemade profession that be desired to state theentire truth, without reserve. His testimonvwia not consistent with his profession, unlessit bo that his memory is unlike that of the ma-jority of men. He could remember that he wascaieful to destroy every shred of paper whichcould show a diroot connection with the lateSecretary of War, but he could not remoraberthe slightest detail, or even the subject-matterof the most important conversations with Gen.Belknap. Marsh admitted his testimony beforethe Clymer Committee with one inconsidorableexception. That exception was an in-complete piiraso which was omittedIrom the printed report The Presi-dent has nominated to tho SenateHon. John A Bentley, of Wisconsin, for UnitedStates Commissioner of Pensions, vice McGllI,who resigns on account of the inadequacy oftho salary Mrs Myra Clark Gainea has o'neemore recovered judgment in the United StatesSupreme Court in her suit for the vast estatesin and around New Orleans to which she lavsclaim.

CAJJB P. MAUSH, refreshing his memory,now recollects distinctly having talked withSecretary Belknap nbout the article upon post-Iriderabip extortions which were published intuo New York Tribune in February, 1872 ; andthat he infoimed tho Secretary that the con-tract with Evens was then in force. Marah has«!SJ explained to the Committee of CougresBthe reason that impelled him to ran off to("auiuia. He *ayH when he read the debate inthe. Ilouao upon the proposed impeachment ofBeiknap, he was led to apprehend that he mightbe arrested and prosecuted on a criminalcharge.

She contradicted Pendletsn in regardto his denying having gone to Europe withMr*. Bowers aid herself and her husband.They all went together, in June. 1871. Sheknow nothing about Pendleton's railroad claim,and had no knowledge that Mrs. Bowers re-c hod any part of it.

THE Ccmmitiee on Military Affairs haveagreed upon Representative Banning's bill,with gome amendments, for the reorsraoiza-tion of the army. It does not reduce the pres-< nt effective force of the army, but it reducesthe number of infante? regiments from twenty-rive to twenty, and the cavalry from ten toeight.

A RECENT Washington dispatch says: "Per-KOUB who have talked with the President latelyw»y that he is very decided in his opinion thatthe resumption act should not be repealed: a:;dhe dops not beatate to say that if Congressshould rt-peal the act he would interpo-e IIHveto.

A WASHINGTON" dispatch says the House Com-mittee on Military Affairs is pushing vigorouslytho headstone investigation. M. J. Wal-h, ofNow York, one of the unsuccessful bidders, hastestified that he submitted a bid to furnish thostones for soldiers' graves in the Nationalcemetery for ¥723.000. Tho contract wasawarded* to one Bridges for $900.-000, or 8177,000 more than Walsh'sfigures in the schedule of bids made up in theQuartermaster's Department. Bridges' bid wasnot included, but after this schedule was sentto the Secretary of War it was inserted, andBridgeB got the contract. Another witness tes-tified that the night before the bids were to boopened Bridges showed him letters from Secre-tary Belknap, saying that if he (Bridges) gotthe contract honvould be allowed to save con-siderable expense by abbreviating somo wordsof the inscriptions on the headstones, and alsothat he would not bo required to round the cor-ners. It is a very ugly piece of business, andplaces Belknap iii a worse light than the Marshaffair.

THE Supreme court of the United States hasreached a decision in the Grant parish, La.,cases, which were carried from the LouisianaCircuit court for final determination. Thelower court had decided that these cases didni t properly come within the scopo of the en-forcement acts : that they related to offenses ofwhich the State courts should take cognizance.In other words, it was intimated that offensesof a similar class have always been punishableunder State laws in other sections of tho Union.This ruling the Supreme court affirms in alengthy decision, in which tho whole subject ofintimidation and election frauds is exhaustivelytreated.

Amusing the Prince—Carious Scenes.Dr. Bussoll, in ono of bis letters from

India to the London Tiroes, writesSome curious things have been seen inNepaul. To-day the Prince crossed theSardan and visited Junge Bahadoor'scanfp. He was shown an enormous boaconstrictor, which was dug out of itshole in a lethargic state and roused tosome sort of life by bucMbts of waterpoured down its throat, which it scorn-sully ejected. It was as thick as a nine-pounder, and some eighteen feet long,and it seemed an amiable reptile ; butclose fit hand, coiled round a branch ofa tree, was another python, which wasof more evil disposition, for when JungBahadoor sent up a man to cut thebranch, so that the serpent fell with aheavy thud to the ground, it raised itshead menancingly and moved over onceor twice as if to attack, but eventuallycoiled itself round the branch, and, like atrue philosopher, went to sleep. Thecollection of living birds given by JungBahadoor to the Prince of Wales is mostinteresting and complete. It comprisesmany Impevan pheasants, which theNebaulese call" duffs," and argus, whichthey call "monal," the name by whichthe former are known by us, Kaleege,Cogplass and Shickore jungle fowl, inaddition to other animals of all kinds,and a delightful little elephant, whichthe Prince rides as a pony, and whichtakes up his whip, salaams and performsmany tricks. There was also a novelexhibition in fishing to vary the amuse-ments. Elephants were sent into a pool,at each end of which were upright nets.Outside these nets were rafts of reeds,on which mon sat. The fish, driven upthe nets by the elephants, leaped clearover, but fell on the rafts, where theywero knocked on the head by the men.

THE PIEHUEPOJJT LETTER.Tho Attornoy-genflral's Kxplanation of

How It Came to bo Written and Pub-lished.Attorney General Pierrepont waa ex-

amined by the Judiciary Committee ofthe House" of Representatives the otherday in regard to the alleged Executiveinterference with the late crooked-whisky trials in the West. Pierrepont'saccount of his circular letter to District-attorneys is that the President was verymuch disturbed at tile constant receiptof newspaper slips, and letters, and per-sonal statements, giving information ofattempts on the part of Governmsnt of-ficials in the West to compromise fraudon the revenue, and that the Presidentspoke to him on five or six dffferent oc-casions expressing his fear that suchthings, if allowed, would bring scandalon the administration. Pierrepont him-self was rather inclined to treat thesestatements as exaggerations, and did notbelieve that District-attorneys or specialcounsel of the Government would beguilty of anything improper in the mat-ter. Re had, therefore, rather wardedoff the President's advances until finallythe President suggested that tho Attor-ney-general had better write to the Dis-trict-attorneys on the subject. Pierre-pont had, therefore, prepared and for-warded a letter couched, as he said, interms that were rather tame. Nobodyhad made a draught of this letter, andhe had not submitted it to the President;in fact, the Presideni knew nothing of itfor tliree or four days afterward, whenhe asked Pierrepont whether he hadtaken any action in the matter, and thenhe told him he had written this letter,and he sent him a copy of it. A coupleof days afterward, on discovering thatthe letter had been published in Chicagopapers on the 1st of February, himselfand Mr. Bristow expressed great indig-nation in the presence of the Presidentat tho gross impropriety of giving pub-licity to it, and then the President, whodid not manifest any feeling whatover onthe subject, remarking that he had neverread the letter.

Pierrepont further stated that Gen.Babcock admitted to him on the 3d ofMarch that he was instrumental in giv-ing publicity to the letter, and defendedhimself on tho ground that they weretrying to destroy him, and that he hadthe right to defend himself. He(Pierrepont) called the President's at-tention, tho next day, to Babcock's ad-mission.

The committee wanted to know whyBabcock did not call for a court of in-quiry to ascertain whether he had beenguilty of conduct unbecoming an officerand gentleman ; whether he was stillCommissioner of Public Buildings andGrounds, etc., but Pierrepont waa un-able to give information on thosepoints,

Tremendous Storms in Europe.Tho London correspondent of the

New York Herald telegraphs the fol-lowing particulars of the recent terriblestorms that swept over Europe :

The present week has been the stormiestwhich has been experienced in Englandduring the past hundred years. Therehave been terrible gales, storms andfloods in England, France, Germany andBelgium.

In London many barges were sunk inthe Thames. On Sunday last a numberof houses were unroofed and many per-sons injured by the falling material.

A large portion of the country districtsis under water.

A remarkable accident occurred onSunday. A telegraph wire was brokenby the force of the wind, and in its re-traction almost severed the head of anomnibus driver from his body.

your Berlin correspondent telegraphsthat the gale extended over tho whole ofthe west of Europe. I t blew in circularform, from the north in France, and fromthe south in Belgium.

In Germany tlie storm caused terribleinundations, house were unroofed, thesteeples of churches blown down, tele-graphs prostrated, and railroad trackswashed away.

In several places earthquake shockswere felt during the prevalence of tli6storm. The inundations consequent onthe storm have injured the young crops,and a new sowing will be necessary inmany places. Many persons in Berlinhave been rendered homeless.

Your Vienna correspondent telegraphsthat in Bohemia and Hungary enormoustracts of country and above a hundredtownships have been flooded during thepast twenty days. In the neighborhoodof Vienna the losses in house property,railways and agriculture amount to $1,-250,000.

In Hungary the total loss, as foreseen,•will amount to $10,000,000, of whichone-half falls on the agricultural inter-ests. Sixteen hundred thousand acresof arable land in Hungary are still in-undated.

The loss of house property is incal-culable. Whole villages have almostdisappeared ; others are in ruins. AtBuda-Pesth one hundred houses havealready collapsed, aud it is feared thatwhole blocks will fall.

Within twenty-four days the Danube,which rose twenty-four feet above thelow-water level, has only fallen eighteeninches.

The action of the authorities is praise-worthy. Tho actual loss of life in Hun-gary and Austria is below forty, butmany persons have died from exposureand illness.

Fever is spreading and great distressprevails among tho people along theriver from Comorn to Sclavonia.

Don Carlos in England.A London letter of March GDon Carlos with his suite, leaving

Boulogne on Saturday morning, landedat Falkestone that afternoon; was in-sulted by an unmannerly mob who hadgathered on the quay; came np to Lon-don in a saloon-car provided for him ;was received at Charing Cross by a tol-erably large and very enthusiastic crowdof Spaniards and Englishmen, and isnow at Brown's hotel, Dover street,whero he will remain for some time.Everyone who sees him is charmed witlihim, he is such a magnificent fellowphysically, being over six feet tall. Hiswould-be majesty has a little business totransact here. His long campaign hasnot been carried on for nothing. Moneywas needed and money was had, and nowL>on Carlos has come to pay up. Thatroyal cousin of his who died not longago left him the comfortable sum of840,000,000; his debts amount to onlyabout $6,000,000 ; he can pay everythingand have plenty left. He may put hismoney in the consols and have an incomeof more than $1,000,000 a year. Thissum, with thrift, will enable him to livevery comfortably. It would be veryeasy, now, to paint a picture of the mis-prv be has inflicted on Spain, and of thecold-blooded selfishness he has shown inprotracting a hopeless contest."

Getting Hot for Them." A man might as well be in hell with-

out a fan, as a Republican Cabinet Min-ister with a Democratic House ;" latelyremarked that distinguished theologian,the Hon. Zack Chandler, Secretary ofthe Interior; The figure is Stroflg, butit has the merit of suggesting forcibly theactual situation of those members of theCabinet who now stand close by the firesof retribution. With, a RepublicanHouse they had no need of fiins. Theycould keep as cool as their impudence,and rake in their piles with steady hauds,fearing no Congressional warning. Noinvestigating committee asked them im-pertinent questions ; and if some impru-dent newspaper, or some audaciousDemocratic Representative put a dis-agreeable complexion on their acts, theirRepublican retinue in the House eithercoughed it down and held their hundsuplifted at the idea of such impious ir-reverence, or if forced to make formalinquiry into administrative performances,the majority could safely be relied on tostop questioning just short of the bottomfacts. They knew how to mix the thick-est sort of whitewash, and to cover upany cracks beginning to appear in Cab-inet reputations. Grant, Delano, WiL-liams, Robeson, Creswell, Richardson,and all their chums and cronies, couldalways retire from these judicious inves-tigations with serene souls and thewhitest of coate. Then the Republicanparty as a whole would daub on anotherlayer of whitewash, and cry out to thepeople, " Did you ever see such a cleanand sweet lot of fellows ? There is nomud on thorn. They don't need anyfans. They are not in the pit. Theyare on the cool highlands of patriotism,and the zephyrs do the fanning forthem."

But whitewash is a poor concealer ofcracks and rottenness. It is liable to berubbed off, and experienced eyes, know-ing why it was applied, easily detect thedirty and broken places it thinly covers.A sound reputation needs no whitewash,and that the people of the country un-derstood. So they turned out the white-washers, kicked over the pail, and threwthe brush out of the window of theCapitol, in which they *put men whoseoffice it was to discover, not to cover up,the rotten spots.

The new House of Representativeshas been in session only about threemonths, and yet that "has been longenough for them to display Grantism asit is, and to destroy all its hopes of per-petuating itself in the Government. Ithas made it as impossible for any candi-date for tlie Presidency who favored orflattered or used or protected Grantismto be elected, as for Grant himself toget a nomination for the third term.Kurely this is a good hundred day'swork. There never was a better donein the Capitol.

But it is only begun, this work ofpurification and exposure. The col-leagues of Zack Chandler may well be-wail the evil day -when their fraudfailed longer to deceive the conn-try. Not only are their chances - ofmaking more money gone, but whatthey have taken burns in their pockets,and its clinking is discovering thethieves. Meantime a pall rests over theGrant society ol Washington. It is intruth a season of fasting for them. Wehear ef Grant's despondency becauseMarsh told and was not hanged ratherthan allowed to squeal; because brotherOrvil was compelled to utter his artlesstale of jobs put up at the White Houseby fraternal affection ; because Kilbournewill have to tell all about that Washing-ton ring pool in which Grant and thevaliant Prince Fred were among theconfederates. Tho outlook upon theworld seems very black just now to theoccupant of the White House. He criesout against the ingratitude of republicsand the impertinent interference of thepeople with their rulers, as if when aman gave up certain "emoluments" tobecome President and risk tlie beingturned out at the end of four years, heshould not be permitted to use the officefor his pleasure and benefit, and as a re-ward for his services.

Zack Chandler is right. The situationof a Grant Cabinet Minister just now isa hard one. He stands in slipperyplaces. His house is built on the sand,and there is a whirlwind blowing aboutWashington. But better that the wholecity should be blown down than that itshouses should be used to hide the spoilsof thievery and corruption.—New YorkSun.

Secor Robeson's Riches.I t is reported in Wall street that when

Secretary Robeson went into office, heborrowed $1)000 to make a presentableappearance, and that to-day he is worthnot less than $2,000,000.

It is the firm belief of those who knowwhat they are talking about, that mill-ions upon millions have been squanderedupon favorites by the Navy Departmentever since the commencement of the war,and that the squandering or plunderingis still in pleasant operation.

Let me cite briefly the case : A con-tractor who has had hold of the navy teatfor years, and who, two years ago, livedin a $7,000 residence, now lives in onethat cost, with its surroundings, $250,-000.' The palace was built for himself by

days' work, and was nearly three yearsin course of erection. The furniture init came partly from Paris, and cost$50,000. The stable, built near the resi-dence, is valued at $20,000.

But this is not all. Said contractor,in addition to the above, has become theowner, since his connection •with theNavy Department, of hundreds of acresof land and valuable buildings and stores,which he has either erected or purchased.Indeed, he is ranked as the wealthiestman in the country in which he resides,and that is not an hour's distance fromthe city. These are the facts, and theycarry their own comments.—BaltimoreSun.

Republican Method of Investigating:.Some weeks ago, says the Chicago

Times, violent opposition was made inthe Senate to the passage of a resolu-tion appointing a special committee toinvestigate the treasury system of book-keeping. It was contended that theregular committee on finance, headed byJohn Sherman, was capable of doing thework thoroughly, and would do it if in-trusted with tho task. This assurancewas the pretext on which the investiga-tion was assigned to Sherman's commit-tee, and the predictions of the oppositionhave been fully verified. The resolutionhas been quietly sent over to the Treasurydepartment with the speech of SenatorDavis attacking the book-doctoring ofBoutwell's system, and a statement isbeing prepared by treasury official as abasis for the report. There is not eventhe semblance of an investigation ; andthis fact and the strenuous oppositionmade to the appointment of a specialcommittee justifies the suspicion thatthere is something in the departmentwhich will not bear the light. The Housewill probably have to take the matter inhand now.

he was sent to Texas once to investigatesome suspected crookedness in the con-duct of Keynold, thejeommandant of thatdistrict. He found even more than wasexpected, for Reynold* r ppeared to bein collusion with all the ccattwtors inthat region, and sharing in their g'aiUSiThe result of the inquiry was reported tothe War Department, but Reynolds ap-peared to have friends there, for he wasmerely transferred to another field. It wasall wrong, of course, for Belknap to passsuch a case without punishment. ButSherman commands the army. His staff-officer reported the case, and he musthave kniwtt all abont it. Why did henot order a court-martial of Reynoldsthen ? Why does he not order it now ?If Belknap is guilty of neglect of dtityjSherman is hardly innocent.—ChicagoTimes.

contributed vamej tot political purposesin pursuance of a request contained in aprinted circular. He did not under-stand that the contribution was com-pulsory, but he thought it the safer wayto pay the money, apart from politicalconsiderations.

'• MT. Evans testified that during thelast Presidential canvass he, in compli-ance with a circular received at FortSill, sent $300 to tho Republican Execu-tive Committee in Washington, and hadpaid $150 to the same committee, withi*the last six months. He voted for Lin-coln as President against McClellan, butwas not now mixed up in politics. Hewould not have paid the money if he hadnot been called on to do so. He sent acheck for money to Postmaster Ed-munds."

Moral of the Belknap Case.The crisis came when the ignorant eol-

dier, coarse in his tastes and blunt inhis perceptions, fond of money andmaterial enjoyment and of low company,was put in the Presidential chair. Weblame nobody for this, and nobody wasblamable. The party did tlie best itcould under the circumstauces, but hisreal character as a civilian began to ap-pear very early in the administration.It was fully revealed when he receivedhis second nomination, and on the dayhe recieved it the Republican party as-sumed the responsibility for him and hisfollowers whioh is to-day covering it withinfamy. We have been warning thereaders of this journal for seven yearsthat to this complexion it would come atlast; that the regime under which wewere living was o coarse and venal that itmust end in some tremendous catas-trophe, that would cover us with shameand nil us with despair ; that the South-ern "outrages" were but a blind, set upby the thieves to throw the police off thescent, and that the great enemies of freogovernment in the country were to befound, not in Louisiana and Mississippi,but in Washington ; and that the chorusof . adultion and apology which wasaddressed every year by Republicaneditors and Republican conventions tothe President were only hardening asomewhat obtuse and selfish nature incourses and associations which were fullof danger to the country. The mischiefis, however, by no means irreparable.We have just one year more of this de-plorable administration to bear with, andduring that period we must, while push-ing on the work of investigation andpraying that the discovery of guilt maystop short of the highest place, possessour souls in patience. But it. is still inthe power of the American people to seethat the affliction does »ot recur byelecting a President whoso sympathies

Ortil,Orvil Grant received timely notice

from the President when there was tobe ft change in tho Indian traderships ;posbibl?----this point is not clear—re-movals were taade for his particular ac-commodation ; he applied for the vacantplaces and got them, of course withoutdifficulty ; then he went into " partner-ship " with bona fide traders, and tooka share of their profits without puttinginto the business either capital, knowl-edge, or personal service. He neverwent near the posts; he bore no risks ;he contributed nothing to the concernexcept his " influence at Washington."Stating the transaction in the plainestEnglish, we may say that Orvil Grantaddressed the traders to the followingeffect: "Give mo half your profits, orelse my brother will turn you out."—New York Tribune.

Maine's Military Career.When Blaine at last got the floor, he

made a powerful speech, goading andlashing his adversaries in his usualmerciless style. There is quite as muchin Blaine's manner as matter. His wholeimmense body seems to radiate excite-ment; he shakes it from his finger tips;he seems dealing blow on blow uponsome prostrate enemy; his head isstretched forward with straining cordsand starting eyes, or drawn up and backin defiant assumption of impregnability.It is a wonder how he ever kept out ofthe army with such a temperament ashis.—Boston Transcript.

Commenting upon the above the NewYork Sun says: "There is no mysteryabout the way in which Mr. Biaine keptout of the army. Like many other pat-riots who would have made admirablebrigadier-generals, he successfully strug-gled against his martial temperament,and continued to grow rich in the serviceof his country at a safe distance fromthe front. Then, in the dark hour ofneed, which he 'cannot even now,' as hesays, ' after the lapse of thirteen years,recall without a shudder,' Mr. Blainewas dralted. Again he managed to mas-ter his belligerent propensities, and hireda substitute. This substitute, it may beadded, was comfortably provided for inthe Provost- marshal's office at Augusta,Me., but was soon transferred to thocounty jail for forging soldiers' certifi-cates of discharge. Mr. Blaine did notprocure another representative. Hismilitary record ended, by proxy, behindprison bars, and it was not until a dozenyears after that he himself began tofight the battles of the rebellion. And

j even now he cannot recall them without: a shudder!"

Navy-Yard Voters.The case of the contested seat of Ab-

bott vs. Frost, from Charlestown, wasbeing considered by the Election Com-mittee of the House to-day, says a Wash-ington telegram, when a fact was devel-oped which gave to the Naval Committeeanother subject of investigation. Ab-bott, who is contesting the sotit, pro-duced the following letter, which, it willbe seen, is signed by the Chief of theBureau of Construction of the NavyDepartment, who has been sent for bythe committee :

[Private. ]BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 23, 1874.—My Dear-

Gentlemen's Fashions.SCARFS.

Flat scarfs are becoming very popu-lar. At present most of them are darkin color and intended to be worn with alight pin in the center; but as springadvances, lighter shades will be worn.

GLOVE*.Gentlemen's gloves will be worn with

one or two buttons. The glove storespresent a great variety of shades andcolors sufficient to match any suit orharmonize with complexion. A newshade of lavender, very light, and a pe-culiar shade of brown known as "chev-rette," are selling rapidly. Most glovesare stitched or braided on the back.Some heavy braids in fancy colors arefavored by purchasers.

HATS.The spring style of silk hat is an im-

provement over previous fasliions, beingless bell-crowned and heavy in appear-ance than the hat worn during the falland winter. Seen from the side it les-sens in size slightly toward the top,while a front view discloses a slight out-ward curve. The brim is narrow with arolling or very narrow D'Orsay curve.For elderly gentlemen or for gentlemenwith full faces the brim is a little wider.Stiff felt hats are much worn. Theirbrims are usually narrow, the crownsgenerally rounded and not so deep asfor winter hats. Besides black and otherdark colors, there are mixed grays andbrowns to match the spring styles ofwalking suits. There are many styles ofsoft felt hats, ranging from those with awide brim and tall crown to the morecommon low-crowned hats worn by boys.The light shades of silk hats will not befound in the hat store until the middleof May.

EXIT BOOTS.Fashionable shoemakers say that boots

have gone entirely out of fashion, andare now worn only by a set of old gentle-men who disregard both comfort andstyle in their preference for them. But-toned gaiters have been worn almost ex-clusively by fashionable men during thewinter, but as the weather grows warmer,the Oxford tie will be the favorite shoe.The style is plain, with rounded toe ofmedium breadth, a little narrower thanfor the winter, broad, low heel and asingle sole of medium thickness, whichgives the shoe a solid but very neat ap-pearance, and makes it very comfortablefor the foot.

A Fool and His Gun.James Kowland, of Abbeyville county,

S. C , a young man about twenty yearsof age, indulged in an experiment re-cently which is likely to cost him hislife. The facts are as follows: YoungBowland tried to draw a load out of hisshot-gun, but failed, and, heating aniron rod nine inches in length and aboutthree-quarters of an inch in diameter toa white heat, threw it into the barrel ofhis gun and ran. The gun dischargeditself, and the rod entered the youngman's hip, passing almost entirelythrough on the other iiide. The rod wasso hot that it could not be taken fromthe suffering victim for about five min-

| utes, and only then by the help of a pairj of blacksmith's tongs. Rowland sufferedj untold agony, and was at the point ofdeath at last accounts.

even a nig will be left of the reputationfor honor and integrity which army offi-cers as a class have held as an inherit-ance irom the better days of the Repub-lic by the time the iconoclasts of tlieHouse get through with them. Gen.MuCook, of Sherman's staff, testifies thaf,

How the Post-traders were Bled.Washington telegram to Western As-

sociated Press: "C . M. Peck was re-called, and testified before the Commit-tee on Expenditures in the War Depart-ment that the post-traders were assessedfor political purposes, and that duringtlie last Presidential canvass he paidfrom .$6,000 to $8,000. He thought heremitted tlie money to the chairman of jthe committee at Washington. He pre-sumed that they were asked to subscribe Ibecause they held the post-traderships Iunder the Administration. He did not jconsider that they were obliged to pay,but were notified that contributionswould be acceptable.
