By looking over into the next column it will be seen that the former favorite of the muses. Jolin G. Saxe, has struck the lyre again. The Scranton Republican declares that the Democrats take a step-father interest in the cause of the Independent Republicans of Penusj Ivania. The Atlanta Constitution says Tilden has been removed from consideration in southern politics by recent improvements in political drainage. The London Lancet’s statistics show that in clotting the ocean a man is about a hundred tnnes more likely to lose his life by disease than by shipwreck. Wiffi the murderer hung at New York Friday, didn’t go by the old route. His last words were the announcement that he died a Bob Ingersoll man. The editor of the Berlin Tageblatt having just got out of jail where he had passed three months for libeling Bismarck, wrote an able article on Gambetta, and has gone back to jail for that. When A. T. Stew art & Co. leave their grand store on Broadway at Tenth street, they will offer it to rent for $200,000 a year. Nothing short of a beer saloon could pay such a rent as that Queen Victoria expresses a belief that somebody will shoot at her just as long as such shooters are honored by the pomp and circumstance of trials for high treason which feed the vanity of the murderous scoundrels. Having failed to secure an American heiress for a wife, Sir Horatio Henry, baronet, of Woxhall, England, died tho other dav ip- an English workhouse, and his brother, Moville Wraxhall, inherits his title and his poverty. Professor Rudolphson, at the head of the vocal department of the Cincinnati college of music, has left. The cause is the same that matte Theodore Thomas and Max Maretzek impossible — George Ward Nichols, president of the college. The Rev. James C. Powers, whose grief at the death of his wife sent him out upon the road as a tramp, and who was accordingly to tho Dedham, Mass., workhouse as a vagrant, has been pardoned and an attempt will be made to make a man of him again. As a specimen of this arrears of pensions rascality, the Rutland, Vt., Herald tells of a man t’-ure who recently obtained SI,BOO, under this act, for injuries received by falling off an army wagon when he was so grossly intoxicated as to be unable to keep his seat. The New York Tribune finds the demoralization of the Democracy increasing. If tho , Democracy can grow worse than it has been ! for the last 30 years, the addled egg will be- • gin to think it has stiil something to live for, , and struggle to put on added fragrance of j various kinds. The Russians cheered the fightful words of General Skobeloff, but have imprisoned ' Gen. Ignatieff's private secretary, Pubnie* koff. for writing an anti-German pamphlet j full of Skobeloffian sentiments. They had 1 to draw the line somewhere and they drew it at Pubniekoff. Mary Cathcart has l»een sent to prison in 1 Worcester for selling liquor and the liquor law having recently been tinkered in the legislature left out an important clause so ■ that there is no authority for releasing h ?r, and it will take a special act of the legislature to get her out The Boston Herald regards an outlaw like Jesse James as less dangerous to a community than a governor like Crittenden, who employs one desperado to kill another. From the way the Boston Herald man talks, you may know that he was never on a western train when the James banditti collected fares. Miss Jennie Stokes of Mdblton, Ala., has been astonishing the doctorsand others there ©y a spontaneous product of needles and pins, 823 of which have been cut out of her body and limbs in the last three years. She says slie never puts pins or needles in her mouth, and tow the}' find their way to thus painfully and vexatiously trouble her, no ona can telh Having exhausted the facts at the capital, a Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune turns his thoughts to the field of romance, and narrates that Wade Hampton induced Attorney General Brewster to issue his letter urging prosecution of the ‘.south Carolina Lull dozers, so as to check the In dejMindent movement in that state by incen ring the people. Thursday night. ('aroline Kelly, an Ama eonian negress of Hot Springs, Ark., had » quarrel with a couple of men who were iicharge of a cotta; near town, and in the ho ardor of her v rath attacked the house am demolished it. defying and driving away th« garrieon. This incident is related to show the folly of our southern friends who alwaya swear that ‘‘niggers can’t take care of them•elves.” It v. ; c- ts 2 a swear, or a certain amount of imprisonment, or both, for every profane remark uttered in the state of New York after May 1, if anybody cares to prosecute the swearer. Down in Cincinnati, the Gazette says that pave a street and then to tear it up right away to put in sewers or pipes, is prima f:,< io proof of incompetency of the board of p-uldic works. The idea*. If the stalk of the cotton plant is to be utilized in the manufacture of cordage, twine, paper and woven fabrics as they now expect it will be, the cotton plant from root to boll v ill be one of the most naefu) products of the a urid.

Th» "Via Boißaire' 1 po«tn whfeh wa f* eeiitly printed a« a hitherto unpublished poem of Longfellow, is claimed by Ur. 0. M Conover of Madison, Win., as his own worn which was published in the New York Independent in 1868. If the authors of “The Beautiful Snow" are going to battie over this, now, it will be necessary for the gov - ernment to call out troops to put down the insurrection. When A. T. Stewart w’ent to the office of his lawyers, Campbell & Murray, a many a year ago, tu have a contract drawn up, the work was given to a young student named Hilton who accomplished it so correctly aud expeditiously that Mr. Stewart was-greatly pleased, aud handed him $3 as a present That was his first contact with Judge Hilton; the $3 gift opened their acquaintance, and wheu the merchant died, he supplemented the humble donation with a bequest of a million dollars. An Alabama thief with the chivalric name of John Percy Moore escaped from the jail at Mobile in March, and went out into the world for himself. One evening last week he took lodging in a deserted shanty at Spring Hill, lying with his gun at his side, the muzzle pointing in the same direction as his head. During the night, a storm came up and the lightning which came w ith it struck the shanty and, attracted by the gun, jumped upon the weapon, discharging it, and sending its contents into the head of John Percy Moore, making a wound that was, at last accounts, expected to be certainly fatal Some hilarious youths in Toronto passed the heavy hours away the other day, iu a laughing bout for the drinks. One of the number was a most expert and skillful laugher. When he had laughed for half an hour steadily, his face had changed from red to a darker hue. Then his friends became alarmed and implored him to desist. This, however, he could not do, and his only response was a continuance of the hoarse spasmodic noise. His forehead became livid, and the veins stood out distinct like whip cords. The arteries in his neck became distended almost to bursting; symptoms of apoplexy became apparent, and it became evident that remedial measures must be adopted, or he would die laughing. One of the party ran to a drug store and procured a draught, which was administered to the irrepressible cachinnator. The effect was salutary, and the laugher’s life was saved.

Our Foreign Friends. An old dead-letter law forbidding Jews to keep drug stores in Russia has been revived. Quite independent of the queen’s revenue and abode over $200,000 are spent every year on royal palaces. Arrests of Germans in the neighborhood of French fortifications have been of late of frequent occurrence. The “underground isthmus” is what the Pall Mall Gazette calls the proposed tunnel between England and France. The necessity of keeping down the rabbits which are eating up the colony of New Zealand has led to a demand for cats for rab•biting. Paris is to have an underground railway in in imitation.of tbi* one in Tendon. It will be lighted by electricity, and will cost $30,000,000. The queen imposes a fine of ten oxen and ,£2 on any person in Madagascar who manufactures alcoholic beverages. The natives ilrink a sort of “toddy.” In some parts of England the wall letter .boxes have been painted around the aperture with luminous paint, so that people may see where to post their letters at night. An eminent queen's counsel who has found time in the midst of his legal work to amass one of the finest collections of postage stamps in England, has just decided to sell it to a French collector f r $40,000. A little English girl one year and nine months old was found lying on the ground not long ago with a game-cock “pecking and spurring” at her head, and soon afterward she died from the wounds thus inflicted. The earliest “future” in corn, probably antedating by some centuries Joseph’s gigantic corner oh the visible grain supply in Egypt, has just reached the British museum tn a contract to supply corn at a fixed price found on an old Chaldean tablet London workmen were busy a fortnight ago leveling one of the last fragments of the Roman wall that now remain in that city. The mortar was found to be so hard and strong that the men with difficulty broke it up. This wall was built long before the Norman conquest. A gentleman with two ladies came up to Brunswick from St. Simon, Ga. in a row boat, and on the way back got into a creek and were left by the tide in a marsh. They were gone from Sunday night to Wednesday | afternoon without food or water, and were finally rescued by a search party in a half famished condition. Mr. Macdougall, the famous tartan manufacturer of Inverness, died a few days ago. It was owing to him that Lord Brougham always wore trousers of shepherd’s plaid. His lordship sent an order to Inverness for “two pieces” of the cloth, and this being interpreted in a wholesale sense, Macdougall dispatched two large webs, which afforded an ample supply of trousers for the purchaser during the last 30 years of his Ufa A Predecessor of Jesse James.—The death of Jesse James recalls the fate of another equally desperate bandit, “ Sam” Bass, who made the plains of western Texas the scene of his exploits. This noted robber for whose capture “ dead or alive” a large sum had been offered, was finally entrapped with a comrade in the town of Round Rock, in the summer of 1875, and after a short but bloody struggle, in which the sheriff of Williamson county and two of his deputies, as well as the companion of the outlaw, were left in the streets dead and dying, Bass himlelf fell from his horse in the outskirts of the town, mortally wounded by a ball from a Winchester rifle. He was buried with much “ pomp and circumstance” in the cemetery at Round Rock; songs were composed and sung in his honor, and his grave is oven now often strewn with flowers by sympathizing Texans. His gang was broken up, many of his partners in crime going up into Missouri and joining Jesse James. Two of them, “ Frank” Carter and John Underwood, have figured conspicuously in several recent train robberies. Between the Acts.—At Sontag’s first concerts here, the wonderful young Adolinist, Paul Jullien, appeared with her. He was then a mere boy, hardly more than a child, for be was but ten years old; but hi% performance was already that of a virtuoso and his tone and style were those of a great master of the instrument. One evening, after Madame Sontag had been here about a mouth, I went, at one of her concerts, to her private room, where she had been kind enough to receive m© before, for she was one of the very few prima donnas with whom I was on familiar terms. “Entrez!” said a male voice when I knocked at the half-open door. I entered, and what should I see but Count Rossi and Paul Jullien sitting together over a basin of wafer, which was bet ween them on the so'a. Count Rossi looked up and smiled as he held out his hand without rising, and then blew into the bowk He was engaged with Paul (who, a few minutes before, ha-i astonished a delighted and cultivated audience) in sailing pa{>er boats, which the little fellow had begged the count to make for him from concert programmes. The basin from Madame Sontag’s washitand furnished the sea on which the fragile fleet was launched. The boy continued his amusement until Madame Sontag entered, and then hastily drying his hands upon another concert bill, took up his violin, and while I was yet musing in wonder at the strangeness of the scene, my rumination was disturbed by the outburst of applause which greeted the entrance of the little boat-sailer upon the stage*—[May Century. Mr. Arthur and the Ladies.--I have before commented upon the fact that in the 19 years I have lived here I have never before heard so much anxiety expressed by people to whom statesmen are familiar objects to see any President as to see the present one. Furthermore it can be added that I have never before known it to be the case that a compliment paid by a President to any lady was made of so much importance, and re[•eated around with emphasis, as if the fortunate one was thus made the fashion, as beauties are popularized in the prince of Wale’s set in London. It is not only that , the President seems to possess this power of adding distinction by his approval to a lady, but it extends to his son a Iso While, when the > name of one lady is mentioned it is invana- ( bly added in an explanatory note “she’s the same whom the President said, he thought very stylish,” when another who is very young is named the remark always follows: 1 ‘‘You know th© President’s son admires her very much”—just as if the standard of com--1 )<arison were thus indubitably settled in t favor of the lady spoken of. There has not been an unmarried President before for over 1 20 years.—{Washington Cor. Louisville Jour-

WoiMiJ and list* Ways. Discreet wives have sometimes neither eyes nor ears. Dr. Anna Warren of Emporia, Kansas, makes <5,000 a year by the practice of med.cine. The Yonkers Statesman dicusses “Woman as Wives.” The idea seems feasible.—[Norristown Herald. Mrs. Mary Durant of Elkhart, Ind., blind for 25 years, claims that her eye-sight has been restored through prayer. The daughter of the lata Commodore Maury, who assisted him in the compilation of his well-known geographical series, is a school teacher in Richmond. Mrs. Teller, the wife of the new secretary, Is tall and slender, with black hair aud the blackest of bla'.'k eves, and is the possessor of an unusually gentle and attractive manner. Mr. Arthur's little daughter is a pretty child, chubby us a cherub in an altar piece, and owning a pair of large brown eyes that look brightly out from under a fringe of short brown hair. A woman was committed for contempt of court by a New York police justice on Monday. because of her refusal to take an oath, or" testify in a case of assault. "Judge,” said she, “I never took an oath in my life, and I’m not going to take one’now. These people can settle their difficulties without calling me in.” Miss Mary Condon was engaged to begin teaching the public school at Omeg.i last Monday. The snow was so deep that she could not go from Moore’s Flat, where she was. to the school in a vehicle of any kind, so she put on a pair of snow shoes and made the trip by that means. It is about ten miles across the country from one place to the other.—[Nevada Transcript The Ways of the World. Naturalists say a single swallow will devour 6,000 tiies in a day. Water gas is now used in 50 cities and towns in the United States. One Boston house has lost three valuable vessels since the Ist of January. There are 255 persons or firms in Washington engaged iu prosecuting claims before the pension bureau. The high school at Los Angeles. Cat. is reached by something over 100 steps leading up a steep bank. A bill for creating a public park of 600,000 acres in the Adirondack region has been introduced in the New York legislature. Ohio last year made about 450,000 gallons of maple syrup and 3,000,000 pounds of sugar, aud w'ill have as much more this year. A machine which cleans horses by steam is in use in horse railroad stables in New York city. Its standard rate is 100 horses in 10 hours. Some thieves at Harrisburg, Penn., not only stole all the provisions in a house the other night, but carried off half a ton of coal without arousing the family. Two newsboys were locked up in Now York for crying “Extra: Terrible loss of life!” when the news in their papers by uo means justified the announcement. The American Architect thinks that "slightness of construction” is “becoming too characteristic of Catholic churches, anxious to secure an imposing effect cheaply.” The various ice companies on the Pacific coast have all entered into a combination for 10 years, and San Francisco and all other places will hereafter have to pay a higher price for ice. Deceived by Appearance. An honest Galveston shoemaker was strolling down the avenue when, peer- j ing into a restaurant, what should he see but one of his fashionable customers seated at a table covered with all ; the delicacies of the season, including i a large bottle of green seal and two I canvas-back ducks' Rushing in, the i irate Galveston tradesman exclaimed, | “You haven’t got money to pay me for the boots you have got on, but you can afford to pay for all manner of delicacies.” The young man wiped his ■ moustache, and looking around to see that he was not overheard, responded • in a whisper, “Don't be deceived by ap-1 pearances. You must not lose confidence in me. I don’t expect to pay for | 1 this banquet any more than I expected j ■ to pay you for the boots.”— Galveston j ’ Sews.

Webster as a Panner. To the end of his lon<* and busy life, ; Daniel Webster retained the love of tho i country and of farming which he ac-1 ( quired in his childhood. It was always | ( with joy that he freturned from tho j acenes of his public labors and triumphs I , to his cosy home at Marshfield and iris well-tilled fields at Franklin. The quiet, pursuits of the farm; the planning of : his crops; the rearing of his cattle, | his sheep, his pigs and hens; tiie improvements iu cultivating lands; tho care of his horses—all interested tho! great statesman fully as keenly as grav-1 er questions of state, and oratorical victories at the Capitol. One day he asked his son Fletehc r I . and a friend who was visiting him to ; go out with him to the barn and see his . cattle. He fed them with deliglit. and I i turning to his companions with a smile, said: “I like this. I had rather be here I than in the Senate. It is better company.” j W hen at Washington, engaged in absorbing duties as Senatoror Secretary of State, he seldom let a day pass without j writing to his farm-overseers at Marsh-1 field and Franklin, telling them just what to plant and what to plow, what horses to buy and what cattle to sell. Webster discovered the value of kelp, or seaweed, as a rich manure for land, and brought it into general use iu his neighborhood. He was probably as skillful a farmer as lived in New Eng- ! laud, and showed the same wisdom in this as in public affairs. — ♦ Miss Clara Louise Kellogg. Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, the Amer-1 ican prima donna, has long enjoyed a high reputation in the operatie world, and although she has chiefly been identified with opera, (both Italian and English) in the United States, she lias won a high position in Europe by the purity and beauty of her vocalism. It may also be said that there are few who have gained a greater amount of social esteem than Miss Kellogg, who is not only a finished and charming vocalist, but a highly cultivated and intellectual lady whose kindness of heart aud amiability of disposition are equal to her great artistic merits. Miss Kellogg was born at Sumpter, S. C., in 1843, and made her first appearance at tiie Academy of Music, New York, in 1860. Her first attempts gave little promise of her future powers, but Col. H. G. Stebbins was so much pleased with her, that he undertook the further charge of her musical education, and four years afterwards, as Margherita in Gounod’s “Faust,” she vindicated her title to be considered a genuine artist. As an actress, in such parts as Gilda, Margherita, ete., etc., she exercises a potent charm over her audiences, and her striking personal advantages add to the fascinations of her vocalizations and acting. Few artists have ever enjoyed such general popularity extending over an unusually long career for a lyric artist of the first rank. She has received many testimonials of her popular admiration, and has gained a handsome fortune by the practice of her art. Many acts of generosity are recorded of her toward poor and struggling artists. She brought forward and befriended among many others Miss Emma Abbott. An undertaker in Philadelphia who lias just feasted a comedian and his friends would have made an acceptable host for the melancholy King Richard, who would “talk of graves, of worms, of epitaphs.” The invitation to the undertaker's feast funeral and flow of gloom was printed upon mourning paper with skull andcrossbones. The table was set in a room hung in black and lighted only by some flickering tapers. The table resembled a catafalque. The dishes were fringed with black. Calm in ; death the chicken, ehiefof the funeral bated meats, lay, with a white choker and a black neck-tie about its neck.

"The mashed potatoes were dug out of a mound jeovered with roast-potato jackets, which witii springs of green planted here aad there, looked like a shady burim lot, with several wooden tombstones standing upright upon it. The icecream was molded in the shape of a coffin, aud the cuts of pie were in a similar shape. ’ The guests were reported to enjoy themselves, but this elaborate tomfoolery would be as unendurable to most people as an le-thetic banquet where water would How like champagne (as Evarts once said of a temperance supper , where the guests might stay their stomach on thin cuttings of bread and raise their minds by contemplating the gaudy sunflower.

There is a colony of colored brethren in Twenty-second street, New York, which rivals that of Joy street in Boston. One of Its members was asked a few days ago, what he would take to whitewash a building. “Boss,” said , he, “I couldn't do that fus’ rate for less than thirty dollars.” “But,” said the proprietor, “another man offers to do it , for three and a half.” “Boss,” said the darkey, “I couldn't do it a cent less ; than four dollars.” Where He Saw Her. Detroit letter: Just before a westi ern-bound trrin left the Union depot yesterday morning a masher with his • little grip sack slid around to awo nan i standing near the ticket-office and i remarked: I “Excuse m-, but can Ibe of any as- • sistance in purchasing your ticket?” ‘‘No, sir!" was the short reply.

"Beg pard n, but I shall be glad to see that your trunk is properly checked,” he continued. "It has been checked, sir." "Yea-ahem— you go west, I presume?" "Going as far as Chicago?" "Yes, sir" _ , . , • < A h_yes—to Chicago. I also tase the train for Chicago. Beg your pardon, but didn’t I meet you in Buffalo last fall?" “No, sir!" “No ? I wonder where I have seen you before?” , ... “You saw me enter tiie depot about five minutes ago with my husband,! pres.me!” “Your husband?” ••Yes, sir: and if you’ll only stay around here three minutes longer you'll make the fifth fellow of your kind that he has turned over to the coroner this month!” * ■ Bogus Butter. Missouri lias a new law forbidding the manufacture or sale in that State of anv imitation of butter, no matter whether represented to lie genuine or not. The oleomargarine interest made a desperate fight in a test case tried in St. Louis, but it was decided that the prohibitory act was constitutional. The ease was .ippi-aled, and the fight will be renewed m the State Supreme Court. The result will be watched with a great deal of interest, and if the decision is sustained it is probable that several other States will endeavor to secure the passage of similar laws. In Illinois, where the manufacture ot bogus butter has reached the proportions of a mammoth business, requiring millions of capital to conduct it, tire enforcment of such a law would meet with still greater opposition than in Missouri. The makers of genuine butter, however, would indorse such a move, and lend the full force of their means and influence to carryout its provisions. The Missouri decision has had the effect to arouse the feeling against file “bull” butter makers in Chicago, and every effort will at once be made to foster a still greater opposition to file fraudulent stuff. I lie honest dealers here l ave for three years waged a war upon the makers and those who retail these imitations of butter, and if such a prohibitory | law as exists in Missouri could be eu- i forced in Illinois it would result in the abandonment of a business that carries with it so many evidences of fraud ami deception.

I wore a bandage on it for over a year, and tried most everything in my reach, but could find nothing that would give me permanent relief. When I overworked it would pain me very much. In April 1878 I began to think I-should be a cripple for life; but having some of “Kendall's Spavin Cure” thought I would try it. I used one-third of a hottie, and experienced relief at once. The i win left me and has not troubled me since. 1 feel very grateful to you and would recommend ‘Kendall’s Spavine Cure to all who suffer with sprains and rheumatism. Yours truly, Mas. J. Boitbll.
