Thero is some little talk about a circumstance which happened the other day to an exalted Washington official. It seems to be my duty "to record it. 3 will call the sufferer General George Belding, for the sake of convenience. He is said to be a right good man, but was always liberal in his views, and a verv sociable sort of person. He used to go about a good deal, and among other places he used to go up to Socrates, on the Hudson River railroad every now aud then, and stay all night at a hotel kept by a Mr. and Mrs. Wagner. In due time he fell in love with a refined and cultivated young lady in Brooklyn, and immediately put himself upon his very best behavior. In the course of six months she married him, and gave it as her "opinion that she was marrying perfection itself. The young couple were very happy. They be gan to frisk around and enjoy the honeymoon Presently they ran up to Socrates and camped at Mr. Wagner's liotei. In the evening George was sitting on a sofa in the parlor, with his arm around his bride's shoulders, when Mrs. Wagner entered. She struck an attitude. She began to get angry in a minute. Then she said: "Look here, my fine fellow, I've had as much of this as I'm going to stand. There you are, down on that register as 'Gen. George Belding and lady,' again. You've done that thing sixteen times in eighteen months and you've fetched a fresh trollop along every time. Young woman, march -Vamose the ranch, you bra-zen-faced huzzy It was a very sad circumstance. Now, wasn't it Mark Twain.

Rebel Oisfraucbisemenl. '•Universal Suffrage and Universal Amnesty" are the latest watchwords in the Southern States. The most radical politicians there appear to think the time has come, anticipated by all, sooner or later, when the question of past disloyalty should not be raised in connection with the home, near Hickman, Ky., on July tight of suffrage. More than four 14. She had been sleeping for 14 years have passed since the rebel armies were forced to surrender, and the disfranchisement lias already been continued quite as long as was originally expected. Nor is there any danger, we are told, from granting this essential privilege of full citizenship. The number disfranchised by the Fourteenth Amendment is comparatively small, while the number of voters added by the enfranchisement of the colored race is very large. We can thus afFord to make the suffrage universal, it is argued, and leave the people to take care of themselves.

We suppose this is the best view of the matter at the present time. At all eventsr, it is now the inevitable one in practice. This admission neither justifies the premature outcry against withholding the ballot from the disloyal, nor does it condemn the original restrictions which kept arrant traitors- in the background during the earlier processes of reconstruction. In the future we may expect all such restraints, imposed by State constitutions or State laws, to be swept away. For all those disfranchised by the Fourteenth Amendment, a remedy will be found as fast &S it is merited.—Cm. Chronicle.

FaJlwe of European Crops. Private cable telegrams from England report bad weather and injury to the growing crops in Great Britain and France, and higher quotations in the English grain markets than reported bythc press telegrams. This caused great animation on produce exchange and stimulated a sharp upward movement in prices. Exporters appeared in force and took 250.©0C bushels of wheat and 26,000 barrels of flour at an advance of eight to ten cents per bushel on the former and twenty-five cents per barrel on the latter. The markets are swept of all the stuff offering with shippers limits. This large movement in fcreadstuffs for export was in the different departments of speculation in Wall strtiet. In the gold room the premium,, fell to 35|, on the theory that produce shipments would make a large exchange and stop the specie shipments.

THE Utica Herald gives reports from 224 cheese factories, most of them in New York. More than half of the reports were up to July 1, anu aone were made earlier than the latter part of June. These 224 factories report 179,024 cheeses made, of the average weight of 64.30 pounds, with & daily average of 3,758 cheeses being made. There had been 80,210 Sold, leaving 98,814 on hand. The Herald estimates there were on hand 430,000 cheeses on hand July 1, in all the cheese factories of the country.

Don't Knra Up Stairs.

Often practiced, it is ruinous to health. An eminent physician once said to us that he wouldn't go up stairs faster than a walk if the house was on fire and he had valuable property to save and we believe he wouldn't. Much walking up stairs is especially injurious to women, and frequent running up stairs is a sure ticket to heart disease.—Springfield liepublican.

The casualities, however, were three negroes killed and five wounded, and seven white policemen, Radical carpet-baggers wounded. Whj* did not the "infuriated" negroes massacre all the native whites
