It is understood at Washington that the court-martial has sentenced Lieut Col. Morrow to be dismissed from the service.

It bow shown by the report of the United States Treasurer that the revenue receipts of the country have been curtailed only to tbe amount of $5,237,688. The postal-note, says a Washington telegram, does not 'grow in popular favor. Its friends admit that it has not met with their expectations. Beports from all sections show that, asa substitute for the money-

any one near the President that Gen. Arthur

isa Presidential candidate. It is very cer

BOTOEIJJUrEOTJS, The regular annual autumnal gale

swept over toe country on the 11th and IStb

of November. It waa of unusual violonoei

mounting in some sections to the propor

tions of a genuine tropical hurricane, and proved very destructive to life and property on the great lakes. Upward of twenty vessels

of all description i were wrecked, and twenty-

five or thirty lives are known to have been

lost. The tug Protection and schooner Arab, both of Chicago, went down in Lake Michigan, and every soul on board the two ill-fated

craft, fifteen in number, perished. A number of vessels were blown ashore on Lake Brie, but no loss of life is reported. A peculiarly sad disaster occurred near Petoekey, Mich. During toe blow, O. M. Chase,

Superintendent of the Michigan fish hatcher

ies, C. H. BrowneU, his assistant, and George W. Armstrong, foreman of the Petoskej hatcheries, left Harbor Springs for Pecos-1

key, In' a Mackinaw sail-boat, the boat being

manned, by Moses Detwfler, a formei Fish Inspector in Canada, his two sous, Charles and George, and a nephew, George Setwiier, making seven in all. The boat cap sized a mile and a half from Petoskey, am) all on board found a watery grave. The new docks at Petoskey were swept away by tbe wind and waters. Near Harbor Springs, Mich., a sail boat capsized and three men were drowned. A number of vessels went ashore on Lake Ontario, and some of them will prove total wrecks. On Lake Huron toe storm waa more severe, If possible, than on the other inland seas, and many vessel!

were beached and wrecked. Leaving inland

waters, the tempest created havoc on shore

as weB, raging throughout Canada, New Tori and Pennsylvania, and pushing its conquest far along the shores of the upper Atlantic. At Toronto it is described aa the fiercest storm on record, the wind attaining a velocity oi two and a half miles a minuto. The wharves were seriously damaged, and a schooner sunk lathe harbor. At Hastings and BallviUe, in Canada, structures were unroofed and trees blown down. Thunder and hai: prevailed at the latter place, where, in Metropolitan hall, the salvation army held forth; a panic was caused by the rattling ol tan scenery by the wind, and In the rush down stairs many persons were hurt. Several craft were lost in Chesapeake bay during the recent gale. The Captain and eight men of a sloop were drowned. Three coal-laden barges were lost in Long Island sound, and eight men perished. Off the Highland light, Boston harbor, the wind for more than twenty-four hours blew at the rate of sixty miles an hour. A dispatch from New London, Ct, says the barges Ida, Dnnderberg and Osprey were lost, and seven of the crews were drowned. A Providence (B. L) telegram, says James' Island was strewn with wrecks, and twelve lives were known to have been lost, A Cleveland dispatch says that the steamer Francis Smith, with 100 passengen on board is believed to bavo been lost on Lake Huron. As a train on the Mexican Central sped around a curve In a lonely spot near the little village of La Jarita, Mexico; tbo engineer, discovering that a rail had been removed, reversed his lever, but too late tc prevent a wreck. Simultaneously forty masked men attacked tho train, robbed the express car, and were about to rob the passengers, when it was discovered that one oi the latter had escaped and gone for assistance. The outlaws immediately took to theii horses and decamped. They are believed tc have crossed to tbe American side of tbe Blc Grande, and scouting parties are in hot pursulk foreign;. The Spanish Finance Minister reports bis country as more prosperous than for many years. The mob at Zaloevoe, Hungary, attacked the Jews, and flrod on the police when they interfered. The police then fired on the mob, killing two of them and wounding several. The procession in honor of the new Lord Mayor of London was a mile in length i

Xhe banquet was lh occasion for an inter, change of toOmpllmenta between toe French Ambassador and Premier Gladstone. A London dispatoh states that since the recent dynamite outrages it is dimoultfoi Irish laborers to obtain work in English ot Sootoh cities. The police havo been warned of an intention to destroy the the Albert memorial.

The project of cutting a ship canal

across Ireland Is being discussed.

Tho Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has

been Instructed to discourage gatherings ol either Orangemen or Nationalists. It appears that tho first reports oi the recent earthquako at Smyrna greatly exaggerated the disastrous effects of thai

phenomena. Only fifty persons were killed

and SSO persons wounded, and tho damage was very slight. Three girls in Venice, sisters and members of a rich and influential family, committed suicide simultaneously by taking poison. All three had boon crossed in love. Liberty to express their opinions is not one of tbe prerogatives of Bussian Journalists. Orders have been issued to the St. Petersburg newspapers forbidding any discussion of the probability of war with Germany. Avenger O'Donnell was visited by tho Secretary of the American legation in London, and found to be a citizen of the United States. Henry Chaplin, of the British Parliament, intends to continue his warfare against the importation of American cattle. Dr. Stocker, the German Jew-baiter who has made such a rumpuB in London of late, had to take a dose of his own medicine the Other nlghti In attempting to lecture or "German Socialism" he found himself in the presence of a vory bad-tempered London mob, which mollified itself by issuing groant and strong epithets. He was forced to retire from the hall in couf usloq. LATEK NEWS ITEMS. At a wedding in Currituck, N. C, liquor at the supper tablo led to a difficulty in which several guests participated. Six shots were fired In one minute, clearing the room. The groom's best man was killed, and another groomsman received a morul wound. Tbo

cornro was removed to an upper room, and

tl-o young married couple sat up all night with the disabled man. At Albany, Ore., Benson Finlayson, aged 18 years, chopped his aged grandmother to pieces with an ax, robbed tho house of all tbe money and valuables it contained, and fled. Four robbers entered Peter Olson's houfc, near Denver, Col., and, upon the old man refusing to tell where his money was

concealed, scourged bis lower extremities

until he was. covered with blood, built a tiro

in the yard, carried bim out, and literally roasted his feet. Thou he was compelled to walk into the house, where a scuffle ensued, in which the stove was overturned and a box

containing $600 was revealed. Willi this the robbers decamped. A magistrate with a large force- of

cavalry and police prevented a Nationalist meeting at Garrison, Ireland. Tho crowd of 1,000 dispersed upon the advice of Editor O'Brien of the United Inland. A party of London Socialists took possession of a hall in London where Dr. Stocker was to lecture. They unfurled red flags, sang the Marseillaise, and cheered for the next revolution, forcing the speaker to retire. At Si Petersburg Sofia Warkupensky, a lady student, was executed for Nihilism, and another female momber of the Terrorist society, named Osslnuky, hanged herself with a towel In a prison cell. At Prospect Park, the horse Fra ik, with J. O. Nay as running mate, defeated H. B. Winship, with Hiram Bruce as mate, in the best time on record 2:08H- Winship took the second beat in 3:10U. Oshkosh, Wis., -was again threatened the other night with one of the great fires which bave made the city famous. The Bremen for four hours fought wind and flame combined, finally checking the progress of the conflagration. The loss was largely In lumber, and amounts to about $85,000. Valuable assistance was rendered by the flre departments of Ncenah, Mcnasha and Fond du Lao. John Waffen, a German laborer on the docks at Cleveland, with a wife and fire children to support, won $1 by drinking fifteen glasses of whisky in fifteen minutes. He survived the feat only two days. Charles D. Thompson, son of the exSecretary of the Navy, died at Terre Haute, of paralysis of the brain, aged 38 years. The hardware house of Seneca D.

A Resume of Some Interesting Bureau Report. Borne Itguiet Anent the Army ahd Jfavy of TJnott Sam.

tHE ARMY. FEEDING TUB BOYS IN BLUB. The report of the Commissary Genoralof the army for the fiscal year ended Juno 30, 1888, shows that tho total resources for that year were $3,087,100, and the total expenditures 83,220,808, leaving- a balance of 9706,001. The additional t per cent, on cost is stilt charged on all aalos to officers and enlisted men (except sales of tobacco to the latter), la accordance with the decision of the Secretary of War. The clause requiring tho extra charge was omitted from tho Appropriation bill for the year ending Juno 80, 1884. During tho year 118 newspaper advertisements and 87 circulars for proposals were roported and ?,?17 contracts made. The average contract prlco per pound for fresh beef for the year 1888 was 10.11 cents per pound, and for 1884 10.01 cents. . Tho losses In the transportation of subsistence stores, for which no one was found responsible, during- the year amounted to $13,350. Tho total losses by storms, lire, accidents and thefts wore $3,323. Tbe subsistence stores condemned during tho year involve a net loss of $14,861. Attention Is Invited to the necessity of providing- good books and bakers for tho army. transportation, etc. The report of the Quartermaster Genoralof the Army shows that the total resources were $15,051,858, the expenditures $13,750,577. The construction of ninety now buildings, such ai barracks, quarters, stables, storehouses, guardhouses, etc., have been authorized at an estimated cost of $147,178. Bepairs to ex-Istlns-buildings have been authorized at an estimated cost of $ 135,509. Au appropriation of $125,000 is urged to replace the buildingused asarccruitlng-dopot and training-school for recruits at David's Island, N. V. The expenses for transportation amounted to $2,149,051. The expenses of military transportation not paid out of tho regular appropriation comprised that provided over bonded Pacitio railroads, $845,144, which is credited on tho debts of these railroads, and that provided over land-grant railroads, to which 50 per cent, of tariff rates is paid under act of Congress of Juno 80, 1882, making- a special appropriation of $125,000 for that purpose. The unsettled accounts of the Union Pacific Kansas Pacific, Central Pacific, and Sioux City and Pacific roads amount to $1,508,165. The earnings of these railrost's on accouut of military transportation from their flrst opening to Juno 30, 1883, apruunt to $13,251,107. Special attention is called to the debts of the Southern railroad companies to the United States for purchase of railway material in 1865 and 1866. Tho ronnrt says that of fifty railroads so indebted the accounts of forty-six have been closed and settled. Tho four railroads still in debt to tho United States have made no cash payments for eovcral years, and tho Indications nro that the present unsettled and unsatisfactory condition ot affairs will continue indefinitely until Congress shall interpose. It is recommended that tbo Quartermaster General's office be relieved of this entire business. ordnance. The report of the Chief of Ordnance shows

that 33,621 arms were manufactured at tho National armory during the year. Contracts have been made for converting fifty ten-Inch Rodmans into eight-Inch rifles and making four largo breach-loading rifles. It has been found that steel hoops for banded guns manufactured in this country are fully equal In quality to the best hoops of European manufacture. It is recommended that the conrcrson of ten-inoh smooth-bores into eight-inch rifles be continued, that over 300 fll teen-inch smooth-bores be improved so tho heaviest charges may bo used, and that Congress encourage the formation of voluntceroEpanlzations in every State, district and c-ity by making; liberal appropriations for arming the

aame.

THE NAVY. expenditures fob pood AND CLOtBINO. The report of J. A. Smith, Paymaster General of the United States navy. Chief of the Bureau for Provisions and Clothing, shows' that the expenditures for provisions during the year amounted to $1,000,059. The amount expended by pay officers abroad was $884,860; expended by the bureau, $273,918. There is a deficiency for provisions amounting to $173,987. The total expenditures on account of clothing were $215,741, leaving a balance of $344,586. The total amount expended on account of small storof was $22,556, leaving a balance of $127,050. The amount exponded for contingencies was $18,549, leaving a balance of $31,589. A comparison with previous years -shows a rapid increase in payments for commuted rations. Great improvement has been made in tho clothing of tho enlisted men of the navy un

der the present system of manufacture at the

New York navy yard. Changes are, however.

contemplated, with a view of improving the

quality and reducing the cost or the clothing. An appropriation of $60,000 is asked for the

payment of freight on stores. Tbe estimate for the next fiscal year include $18,580 on account of salaries for elerks; $1,100 for miscellaneous expanses; $120-450 for commuted rations of 1,100 officers; $180,675 for commuted rations of 1,850 men and boys; $31,900 for commuted rations of 200 marines; $870,975 for rations for 7,400 men, boys and marines

and other expenses: $60,000 ror freight on

shipments, and $12,411 for expenses of the civil establishment.

CONSTRUCTION A WD REPAIR. The Chief of tbe Bureau of Construction

and Repair, in bis annual report to tho Sec

retary of the Navy, estimates that $400,000

will be necessary to complete tho frigate

New vorx at tno lirooklyn navy-yam, and the Mohican at Marc island. He recommends that the Thilmauy process for preserving timber be adopted. A sufficient appropriation should be made by Congress to purebnee shipbuilding material to put in stock. The number of wooden vessels will be largely reduced under tho operations of tho act which forbids tho repair of any wooden vossel

of tbo navy when the repairs will cost more than 20 per cent, of tho appraised

vaiua. it is rccommenaea tnat tno limit of repairs on wooden vessels be fixed at

88 per cent, of tho cost of a new vessel of

like size ana materials, unless congress may

see fit to replace them by iron or steel vessels. Since the passago of the aot in operation, repairs on the following named vessels hare had to be abandoned: Alaska, Monougahola, Plymouth and Tieonderoga. All of these vesfola, except the Alaska, wore worth repairing. Tho same act will sacrifice tho Richmond and Pensaoola. The limit for the

existence of the Minnesota is fixed atelghteen

months. The Colorado is to be placed In ordinary, and the Vermont fitted as a leseivina-

shlp. The Tennessee will not last longer than

twelve months. Tno training-vesscts Saratoga, Portsmouth, and Jamestown will soon have to be abandoned under tho present lnw.

Cereals in Minnesota. Telegram from Rochester, Minn. : Crops of

all kinds are being marketed slowly, and the results of threshing show tho outcome to be most gratifying as regards tho smaller (rains. Corn is a decided failure on account Of early frosts, and nothing but sift corn is offered. Feed is scarce, and in consequence large shipments of Uvo stock are being niudo. Most of it is being marketed In Chicago. Winter wheat and rye arc looking woll, although tho growth has been groatly re

tarded ny tne recent cow weather. Tno receipts at tho elevators have bo-n light alt the

season, farmers who could afford to do so preferring to hold for higher prices.

Coast Defenses. Gen. Wright, Chief of Engineers, In his annual report, urgently recommends that Congress make ample appropriations for putting tho sea and lako front in condition for defense in oaro of war. Ho advises that atloast$500 000 be expended at fan Francisco. Among other appropriations recommended are the following: Rivers and harbors on Faelflo coast, $1,978,001; Gulf coast, 13,854,100; Ijiko rogion, $11,474, !K)0; Western rivers and harbors. Sn.OW.lt-S. Tho abovo estimates do not Include the Mississippi Commission work. For tho defenses of NOW Orleans $98,000 is asked, and for Qulvos'.on $50,000. .L . Louisiana Bice Crop. New Orleans telegram: Keports from the rlce-growlng parishes of Louisiana indicate that the crop will bo slightly lncica-cd over that of last year. The estimate is 240.000 barrels. On account of light rice tho yle. l on many plantations foil short, but the quality is of more than ordinary o.coUouce. A fribnd of Mrs. Itowg-tile says that f-oro a once proud position In Washing-ion society she and bar attractive daughter have been reduced to the necessity of seeking employment wherever it may bo found in order to gain a livelihood.

Ideal fftaritage. tke best and purest girl, she who holds the highest ideal, cannot be sure of realizing true marriage unless she has been taught the sacred laws of her being, and unless she knows to a certainty the character of the man who offers her his love. Ideal marriage is not one-sided. The man must be striving toward perfection as wall as tie woman, and of this she must be certain before she takes the marriage tow. . As the first important factor is the possession of high ideals, tho second is the possession of knowledge knowledge of the laws of life, of what married life is in all its phases, of its possibilities, its dangers, and its sorrows, as well as of its joys.

Mrs. Carlyle failed to reach happiness because she had ambition without fame, and intellect without a career, md -was too self-conspicuous and proud to bo content with a subordinate part in life. She ought to have considered that her existence was really of no importance to the universe; but her husband's works had power' to send the world on its path of progress with mighty tangential force, and to drive a current of new life into the heart of

tho century. He was necessary to

humanity; but sue was only necessary to smooth the path his soul traveled. In this line of duty lay the beautiful mission of a lovinc wife, and in this

she ought to have found happiness ; but she onlv thontrht of the small annov-

from her husband's temper. Had she married the village schoolmaster, she

might have been happier. A keen.

This should have been her destiny; but Carlylo raised her to eminence as his wife, gave her station and dignity in the great capital of the world; and in return she darkened his fame, gave his name to the scoffers, and chilled the enthusiasm that would have raised memorials to his honor.

The Shocking- Card of a Summer Captive.

Her aristocratic manner and rich,

elaborate toilet seemed somewhat out of place in the plebeian surroundings of tho Fifth avenue stage, New York.

Drawing her skirts about her she retired as far as possible into a corner seat and gazed persistently out of the window. On the opposite side sat a neatly attired young man with carefully waxed mustache, very white hands

and an air generally suggestive of the clergy. He glanced at the fair vision

iu iiuc curuer irum uwe w ittiue tu a reproachful manner. She looked furlively at him from boneath her lashes,

and finally deciding that he rightfully

belonged to the army of summer cap

tives that liacl laid tneir hearts at ner teet, she concluded to end his misery by recognizing him. "You are very kind to remember me," ae said. "Oh, no," she replied, with an air of oolite reserve, as she tried to place him. 'I recall perfectly the pleasant occasion n which we met." A few commonplaces followed and,

emboldened at his success, the gentle

man said gravely as he drew forth a pink-tinted card : "I hope you will permit me to call upon you again, I shall be happy to serve you." She glanced at the card, a wave of color swept over her face and drawing, down her veil she jerked the strap, and flounced out of the stage with the precipitancy of a batted base ball. The address upon the card read: "H. Bil-

I am told that the lale of ipuge lias suddenly increased', and that pearl powder is correspondingly a drug in the market. It is not more than a year ago nay, not so much since ghastliness was considered desirable. Even plump and very earthly creatures whitened their cheeks and shaded with black under their eyes, to make themselves look like Camille. Now their model is the rosette milkmaid. No longer is it deplorable to be atrongi Adipose tissue is despised and muscle is excelled; '-feel that said a friend whom I met in a parlor after her seasdn but ol doors. She pitt my hand On her arm, midWay between the elbow and the shoulder. Tho skin was as smooth and white as ever under a single thickness of lace, and the roundness was charming. "Grip hard," she commanded. I clasped the arm with both hands. Then she shut her list and drew it slowly tip to her fair shoulder. Under my hands rose such a bunch of muscles as I had never felt before, except when hanging on to a brawny partner in a waltz. This girl had been rowing daily all summer. The palms of her hands are calloused, and she has to weai gloves a whole size bigger than she used to, but she is elated all the same. She doesn't lift so much as a cup of tea without managing to bring up that muscle ; and I actually saw her writing a letter and making the biceps show through the tight sleeve of her dross at every stroke of the pen. "And look at this," she said, as wc were together in her boudoir. Whai she proudly called my attention to wat the faot that, in walking across the room, the action of the muscles in hei calves was visible on the surface of hei stockings ! ""What a pity you're not going tc dance in the ballet, instead of in the ball-room,'' I remarked. "You are only envious," wa her retort. "Not a bit of it," I replied ; "I haven't any desire to bo an athlete. Beside, yon won't be able to keep your muscle through the winter." "Won't I, Clara Belle?" and she led me into an adjoining closet, "There's what will do it, me guyrl." Perhaps some of my readers wish tc cultivate their muscle, and so I will tell how to make the apparatus she showed me. You can almost fix it yourself. The requirements are two pulleys, two eight-pound window weights, a strong cord and a strip of plank with twe holes iu it. The cord must run through the holes in the plank and suspend the weights. The exercise is obtained bj pulling at the ends of the cord. You are to assume all sorts of positions, ac as to bring tbe whole muscular systerr into play. There isn't a great amount of fun in it. Indeed, I should say thai rubbing a washboard would be a do h'ghtful diversion compared to it, but fashion makes slaves of us, and some thing or other for exercising purposes from dumb-bells to a rowing-machine is the thing now for my lady's chamber

Light Ahead. The girl who at 18 can walk five

miles, or rido ten on horseback, or row a boat, or eat something more than a acra; of toast for her breakfast, is not very likely to be a neuralgic invalid at 30 nor a chronic scold at 45. Equally,

the woman who recognizes her own in

dividuality makes its strength and its beauty iu every way a blessing and a bom to her home and her husband, her children and her country. There are those of tho gentler sex who do not know what they really do wish for, who cry aloud in glittering generalities and deplore the degeneracy o the masculine portion of humanity, condemning nren in adjectives which make them blush with shame for the women who say

them 8 woll as for themselves, against

whom tho cries are sounded. How, it maternal love is what all tho world believes it is, if it has heights yet unattainod. depths yet unfathomed, and

cles in the physical and spiritual life of men, if theso things be true, nnd they are true, there is a new light ahead to shine on that vory misty question of woman's place and woman's work. Poets always say l oautiful things about woman; tho most prosaic of men get enthusiastic in responso to the toast to her honor which always follows a festal dinner. A woman likes tho pr.dse of men, but sho need never fear ceasing to receive it. If she elevates horself

How to Float. The human body weighs a pound ii the water, and a chair will ' carry tw grown persons ; that is, it will keep tlu head above water, wbich is all that i-1 necessary when it is a. question of life or death. One finger placed upon a stool or chair, a small box or a piece oi board, will easily keep the head above water, while the two feet and the othei hand may be used as paddles to propel toward the shore. It is not at all necessary to know how to swim to be able to keep from drowning in this way- A little experience in the buoyant powei of water, and faith in it, is all that it required. We have seen a small boy who could not swim a stroke propel himself back and forth across a deep, wide pond by means of a board that would not sustain five pounds' weight, Children and all others should have practice in the sustaining power of water. In nine cases out of ten the knowledge that to be able to sustain a pound weight is all that is necessary to keep one's head above water will servo better in emergencies khan the greatest experience at a swimmer. A person unfamiliar with the buoyant power of water will naturally try to climb on top of the floating object on which he tries to save himself. If it is large enough that is all right. But it is generally not large enough; and half of the struggling group is often drowned in the desperate scramble of a life-and-death struggle tc climb on top of a piece of wreck, or other floating object, not large enough to keep them all entirely above water. This often happens when pleasure boats capsize. Ail immediately want to get out of the water on top of the overturned or half-filled boat, and all are drowned except those the wrecked craft will wholly bear up. If they would simply trust the water to sustain ninety-nine hundredths of the weight ot their bodies, and the disabled boat the other hundredth, they might all be saved, under most circumstances. An overturned or water-filled wooden boat will sustain more people in this way than it will carry. It would keep the heads above water of as many people as oould get their hands on the gunwale. These are simple foots, easily learned, and may some day save your life. Albany Journal.

How Hooker Got His Orders. I was greatly surprised at the position taken by Hooker, and on my return to Washington went immediately to (ion. Halleck's office and reported the interview, with a suggestion that as Gen. Hooker was waiting for orders it seemed to be expedient that there should be no delay in sending them. After listening to my report Gen. Halleck replied, "There is not a word of truth in the statements he has made to you;" then reaching to his secretary he took out a bunch of papers and read several communications which had passed between Hooker and the President, from which it appeared that Hooker's idea was, during the absence of Lee's army, to make an attack upon and capture Richmond. The President had replied in nearly these -words, which were strongly impressed upon my memory: "General, you may bo right, but it seems to mo you are wrong. I think it would bo a poor exchange to give Wasbingtot: for Bichmond. If, as you say, th enemy has scattered himself in long, thiu lines, with ono flank resting al Fredericksburg and the other on tho Potomac, why can't yon keep yom shoulder well up to Mm ; break through his lines and bent him in detail ; this, it seems to me, would be a much bettei course." After reading those pnpene Gen. Halleck put on his cap and left the office. He returned in about hall an hour and quietly remarked : "Hookei will get his orders."

PttESlHEWt JfAfoBOfr Did iileitdrjr jlnd Hi fcrolatie Ajpliiiift th j. t National Banks. ,. Fifty years since the country was convulsed by the conflict Between President Jackson and the United State bank, 'he bank was a corporation with a fapital of $35,000,000, and it had branches in many of the States. It was the sole fiscal agent of the United"

states Uovernment, and tho public funds were deposited in the vaults of the bank and of its branches. Five ot the Directors Were annointed bv the

United States Government! and the bthers were loading PhiladelphiariSi The President Was Nicholas Biddle, a gentleman Of rafe accomplishments and high character and he .had fortified himself by making loans to leading ed Itors of the country, and to distinguished impecunious politicians'. The bank was very prosperous and its stock was in demand at a high premium) when Isaac Hill) of New Hampshire, then an Auditor in the Treasury de nartment at Washington, became offended with Mr. Mason, President of the branch bank at Portsmouth, N. H., Mid demanded his removal. This was refused, and Mr. Hill lost no time in enlisting the President in a srusado against the bank.- "Old Hick' ory" had just squelched nullification in Houth Carolina, and ho turned eagerly lo square off against a new foe. Congress, disregarding the President, poised a bill rechartering the bank fter the expiration of its charter in 1836. Jackson not only vetoed the bill, but had the public funds with' Jrawn from the United States bank and its branches, and transferred to various State banks. This forced Mr. Biddle to contract the business of the United States bank to the extent of the tverage amount of public money held by it on deposit. Agitation and alarm prevailed throughout the country; parjdysis seized on every branch of trade; the notes of State banks depreciated: stocks fell from 10 to 40 per cent; real estate declined; manufactures were suspended, and large numbers of laborers were discharged without any means of support. "Old Hickory" seemed to revel in the din of the contest, and to enjoy the fierce invectives heaped upon him in all quarters, asserting that all this distress was the work of "Nick Biddle and the bank." He and his friends declared it had dabbled in cot-n and stocks; that it had mode donations to roads and canals ; that it had built houses to rent and sell ; that it had suborned the public press and stooped to corruption; and that it should be closed at once. The friends of the bank, equally violent, accused the President of open and daring usurpation. The merchants in different cities finding themselves on the verge of bankruptcy sent deputations to Washington to remonstrate with the President. One of these delegations, from the city of New York, bearing a petition signed 'by 0,000 merchants, -went to Washington, headed by Mr. James G. King. Visiting the 'White house, they were admitted into the President's private office, where they found him seated at a table writing, with a long clay pipe in his mouth, which he was industriously smoking. After courteously greeting them, Mr. King began, in a dignified manner, to state the object of the visit. He had said but a few words when Gen. Jackson interrupted him by saying, "Mr. King, I believe you are a son of Bufus King?" "I am, sir," was the answer." "Well, sir," exclaimed tho President, in an angry voice, gesticulating wildly: "Bufus King was always a Federalist, and I suppose you take after him. Yon talk about insolvency? What do you come to me for? Go to Nicholas Biddle. He lias all the money. He has millions of specie in his vaults at this moment lying idle, and yet you come to me to save the merchants of your city from breaking. I tell you, gentlemen, ifs all politics, and I do not intend to change my position." The delegation retired, feeling glad, as one of them afterward observed, that he had not kicked them down stairs. All through the summer of 1833 the fight went on, to be continued for several years. Mr. Biddle, seeking to save himself by cotton speculations, lost the entire capital of the bank, plunging thousands into bankruptcy. He retired to his rural home, on the banks of the Delaware, unable to withstand the storm of obloquy that assailed him in Philadelphia. Jackson was revenged by the failure of the State banks, which plunged the country into financial ruin, but he remained the idol of the people. He had killed tho "monster," and he retained the gratitude of the people even through the inflation of 1S36, the bankruptcy of 1837, and the hopeless business depression of the five following years. It was the assertion of Mr. Jonathan Cilley, a Representative in Congress from Thomas ton, Me., that Mr. James Watson Webb, editor of the New York Courier and Enquirer, had received a bribe of $52,000 from the United States bonk. This led to Mr. Cilley's death in a duel. Mr. Webb sent a challenge to Mr. Cilley by Wm. J. Graves, a Representative from Kentucky. Mr. Cilley declining to receive the challenge, Mr. Graves asked if the refusal was grounded "on any personal exception to his friend as a gentleman and man of honor." Mr. Cilley declined to answer the question, whereupon Mr. Graves challenged him, and they fought at Bladensburg, near Washington, with rifles, Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, and Gen. Jones acting as seconds. Mr. Cilley fell on the third flre, and the seconds were deservedly censured for not having effected a reconciliation

Its wonderful darning proclivity, after all, must be placed along with other childhood myths told by loving lips, and, we must recognize the "devil's darning needle" as a positive benefit to man ; for it is a scavenger of voracity equal to its savageness in battle. It is a perfect glutton, feeding in all of its three stages of growth, but, especially, in its perfoot state, on the larva of mosquitoes and other obnoxious insects. - In the water, as a larva, it is very active, and a great feeder, and not much more prepossessing in appearance than when it issues to spend tho remainder of its life on tho wing.
