Pittsburgh is excited over the case of a nun who was removed from tiie House of the Good Shepherd to Dixmont Insane Asylum under suspicious circumstances. The Superintendent (if the asylum has had charge of her for three months, and says she is perfectly sane, and was when she was brought to the asylum. The doctors who certified to her insanity admit that their examination lasted only five minutes.

We«t. A tire at Green Bay, Wis., destroyed sixty dwellings in the be-t residence portion of Ihe city. The loss is estimated at $160,000. A terrible tragedy was recently enacted at the residence of Andrew Tiffany, near Janesville, Hillsdale county, Mich. Henry Lindley, a hired man in the employ of Tiffany, who is supposed to have conceived a passion for his employer’s second daughter, Alice, called on her and shot her, killing her instantly. Lindley then blew his own brains out, falling with the weapon under him. The only cause known to which the dreadful crime can be attributed is unrequited love. The murdered g'.rl was 18 years old. Jesse D. Grant, third son of the General, and Miss Lizzie Chapman, daughter of a wealthy merchant, were married at Han Francisco, on the 21st of September. Another combination has been formed bet ween American and Mexican troops on the southwestern border for the purpose of annihilating the Apache chief, Victoria.

body takes cognizance of errors in them. The plurality amendment to the constitution is car ried by a large majority. • The Maine Greenback State Convention to nominate Presidential Electors met at Portland Sept. 21, with 465 delegates in attendance. 8. D. Hobson presented resolutions indorsing the action of the State Committee, recommending fusion with the Democrats. J. B. Chase, amid great excitement, protested. Elliott King moved to accept the report and the resolutions, and to name a joint electoral ticket. Chase made a motion to amend by nominating seven straight Greenbackers. This was received with applause and hisses. The speaker made an appeal for a fair hearing, and argued against fusion. The Rev. Alvan Strout, F. M. Plaisted and others advocated fusion, after which the previous question was carried, and a resolution to fuse adopted, although there was considerable opposition. The following ejectors were then chosen: At Large—Solon Chase and Samuel Watts. District Electors —John J. Turner, Benj. Bunker, Charles R. Whidden, Wm. A. Cromwell, and John P. Donworth. After adjournment of the convention the delegates opposed to a fusion, to the number of seventythree, headed by Solon Chase, got together and nominated a straight-out Greenback electoral ticket, as follows: Solon Chase, J. J. Turner, C. R. Whidden, J. F. Hilton, Thomas G. Burden. G. W. Wooster, E. B. Fry. The Greenbackers of Massachusetts held their State Convention at Worcester, Sept. 22, and nominated the following ticket: For Governor, Gen. Horace B. Sargeant; Lieutenant Governor, George Dutton; Secretary of State, Jonathan Arnold ; Treasurer, Wilbur F. Whitney ; Auditor, Charles T. Warner ; Attorney General, John M. Raymond ; Electors-at-Large, H. B. Rowley and Eugene J. Flaherty. Resolutions pi ohibiting the use of liquor and tobacco, indorsing Solon Chase’s bolt in Maine, and condemning Ben Butler for joining the Democratic party, were voted down. Ex-President Grant telegraphs Chairman Jewell that he cannot engage to attend any political meetings during the present campaign. The official canvass shows that the constitutional amendment repudiating a portion of the debt of Arkansas, recently submitted to the people of that State, has been defeated by about seven thousand majority. The total vote was 140,000.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

A table compiled by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue shows that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880, there were manufactured in this country 90,355,270 gallons of spirits, against 71,892,621 for the preceding year, and there were consumed 61,116,523, against 51,892,714. Capt. William Hughes, of the Capitol police force, has been sentenced to six months’ imprisonment for making an indecent assault upon a young girl in the President’s room a few weeks ago.

MISCELLANEOUS GLEANINGS. A bold bank robbery isf reported from Montreal. A paying-teller left his compartment for two or three moments to go to an inner office, and did not lock his box, containing ■*30,000. During his momentary absence a sharp thief gobbled a package containing over $7,000 and made good his escape. In compiling a table showing the comparative death rate in the leading cities of the country, for the last ten weeks, the National Board of Health finds that in Chicago it has been 26 in 1,000 ;in New York, 31; in Brooklyn, 42 ; in Philadelphia, 32 ; in Baltimore, 24 ; in Boston, 25; in Cincinnati, 25 ; and iu New Orleans, 23. Silas M. Waite, the absconding President of the First National Bank of Brattleboro, Vt., has been arrested at Omaha, and taken back East. He stole about $500,000. More than 50,000 emigrants arrived in this country during the month of August. Peace having been restored in Cuba, the Spanish Government will recall 15,000 troops. Lieut. Schwatka and party, who sailed from New York two years ago to discover the remains of Sir John Franklin and his Arctic expedition, have arrived at New Bedford. Their long journey was not as successful as might have been wished by the projectors, but it was not altogether fruitless. They have obtained many relics of Franklin’s party, made numerous charts which will be of great value to future explorers, and demonstrated that white men can adapt themselves to the habits of the Esquimaux jn making long journeys in the polar regions. The New York Herald publishes a letter of a correspondent who accompanied the Schwatka expedition to King William’s Land. The story refers more particularly to the incidents of the great sledge journey. This is supplemented, however, by the discovery of the relics and the examination of the native witnesses which lead to the sad conclusion that the fate of the officers and crews of the Erebus and Terror was terrible, even to the utmost limit of the imagination, and that the records of Franklin s expedition are lost beyond recovery. Old men and women of the Esquimaux tell the story of those who were doubtless the last survivors of these unfortunate vessels with a minuteness of detail and evident truthfulness which place their fate beyond doubt. Of what had become of their great leader, and of the large number of men who constituted their crews, nothing could be discovered. Only a small party of officers, black about the mouths, with no flesh on their bones, is seen dragging a boat across the ice, and then they disappear, and nothing more is seen of them until their skeletons are found under their boat, and in a tent, a prey to wild beasts, and with dreadful evidences that they had been driven to feed on the weaker of their companions before finally yielding to starvation and cold. Such is the sad conclusion which the discoveries of the expedition irresistibly lead to. It is said that an enterprising showman has engaged Sitting Bull, and will exhibit him throughout the country. The Arctic exploring ship Gulnare has returned to St. Johns, N. F., with the loss of her deck load aud one boat in a gale.

An Oil City man went fishing Saturday, and he came home with nothing but a little half-pound bass. “Is that all you caught?” asked his friends. “That's all,” replied the man. “How many bites did you have?” “None,” exclaimed the fisherman, and the whole crowd cried, “He’s found! he’s found! Here is the honest fisherman.” He’d have had .fifty invitations to drink in ten minutes if a small boy hadn’t broken through the crowd, and said: “See here mister, yer gave me a bogus nickel for that air fish.” And now that crowd has no faith in human nature. A recent observing tourist in Portugal says that he has never been in a Roman Catholic country where there are so few outward signs of religious feeling, or even of worship. It is rare to find a service of any kind being celebrated in the churches, which an* nearly always shut. A light is seldom burning before the altar, the few shrines and images by the road are neglected and often in ruins, and the monasteries have all been mipprea.M'd. “As the Amencwn,” un the lb v.

HOME INTERESTS.

Little Barefoot. The Christmas is coming, the fairies are humming And singing and whispering soft in my ear; The bright Christmas morning, so sweetly adorning The frost-woven crown of the poor dying year. The bells will be chiming their glad, merry rhyming— Gay feet will be dancing, the halls will be bright, The rich roll in splendor, so dainty and tender, But poor Little Barefoot, where art thou to-night? Oh ! little ones flocking to hang up their stocking, Puffed out with the pressure of dear, dimpled feet. Will rouse from their dreaming to find them all teeming With treasures so costly, so rare, and so neat; Bright eyes will be brighter, light hearts will be lighter, But oh I ’mid the tumult of each new delight, Remember—forget not—that poor Little Barefoot Hath never a stocking to hang up to-night Rich gifts will be lavished, bright eyes will be ravished. And fashion, false goddess, so fickle and vain, Will bear with her sweet smiles and hide with her gay wiles The head of the “hydra” that lurks in her train; Sweet lips will be pressing, white arms soft caressing, Rich banquets will glitter with si.ver and gold, Warm garments will cover, but oh! who will hover The poor little barefooted ones from the cold ? The pale, drooping mother, with love like no other, Is striving to warm, with her own feeble breath, The little ones hovering, with no other covering Than rags, oh! so scant, freezing, starving to death; O God, will Thy peop’es build churches and steeples, And deck them like Solomon’s Temple of old, And know not nor care not that poor Little Barefoot Is freezing and starving with hunger and cold ? Will Christians remember this eve of December, When Jesus, the dear little Bethlehem Babe, Was pillowed by. stranger, in humblest manger— No fashion was there, neither pride nor parade; No robes richly molded around Him were folded. Yet angels from heaven’s own mansions so bright Were there in that manger, by that little stranger, As poor as the Barefoot that wanders to-night. Cheerful Christian*. Right here let me copy a little extract from the writings of Sir Matthew Hale, with whose name some of you are no doubt familiar—an ancient and truly-good man—where he says, in speaking of prayer : “ I can call my own experience to witness that, even in the external actions, occurrences and incidents of my whole life, I was never disappointed of the best guidance and direction, when, in humility and a sense of my own deficiency and diffidence of my own ability to direct myself or to grapple with the difficulties of my’life, I have with humility and sincerity implored the secret direction and guidance’of divine wisdom and Providence.” Now I would not have any of the friends infer from the tone of my letter that I advocate long faces or the coiuting of melancholy. Oh, no ; I think cheerful Christians are the “ lights of the world.”. But there are medium lines to lie observed. The path is indeed narrow, when compared with the unhedged avenues of vice ; but it has been paved by the white feet of the ransomed above. Oh, how many of our dear ones are there—those “ with whom it seemed our very life went half away !” Parents, brothers, sisters, children—all are there ! Dear friends, circumstances have been such with me that I could not meet with yon at the reunions, but I was with yon in spirit. Do you believe in spirit connnunion—i. e., that the minds of different persons can commune with each other, even at a very remote distance, when conditions are favorable? Ido. I have tested the quitter so many times, and at times under peculiar circumstances, that to doubt it would be to doubt my existence. M. Lettie Lee. Chemung, N. Y.

The time of Tobacco. It is with trembling and fear that I broach a subject which has so often been skillfully handled by those who are older and wiser than I, still I must say it. Much has been said about tobacco-smoking. Whether that be a grave offense or not others shall decile, as I have never tried it,* and never intend to try it, in any form. Some of the ladies seem to favor the habit, and speak encouragement to the smoker. He needs no encouragement. It has been proved to be an injurious habit to man, therefore, discourage it, if yon love mankind.Tobacco, gossip and strong drink are a bane to society. Only recently I read, in a leading journal, of ladies (?) of high social standing who make it a daily practice to indulge in wine and cigarettes. Are these women setting a good example to their husbands and sons? One strong argument in favor of woman suffrage was this: Her vote will crush the whisky license. But will if, if they themselves indulge in ii “ social glass?” If an increase of privileges causes women to copy man’s bad habits, i. e.„ betting, gambling, chewing and smoking, then those privileges had better be withdrawn, and women sent back to their kitchens. On the other hand, if she improves these opportunities by taking an interest in the welfare of the nation by reading and engaging in instructive conversation, as a true woman, she may do this, and lose nothing in modesty, refinement and womanliness, while she gains in strength and nobility. In which case let her have her “ rights,” by all means. Roxy Glen. A Fashionable Clirl’s Trials. I purchased material for a dress that I thought would be particularly becoming to my complexion, after spending about two weeks in shopping, as I wished to have it perfect in its design, and look as charming as possible. Then I gave all the materials to a fashionable dressmaker, with all the instructions I considered necessary for its making. Well, let me tell you that it has been to the shop, which is for such contrivances, a considerable of a trifle over three months, and the “ fates ” only know when I shall get it, to have the use of it. The first time it was sent home to me it was scarcely more than basted together, but, being extremely anxious of having it, I thought I would try and make it do. Consequently I wore it once, and unfortunately lost some of its belongings, so the next day it was returned to the shop, to be finally completed. After several days of anxious expectation it was returned, and pronounced by the modiste to be complete, perfectly charming and bewitching, with its fringes, laces, bows and multiplicity of buttons. To my utter chagrin and great vexation, with my first attempt to use it, which was to attend a party that I had anticipated for weeks, off flew about two-thirds of the lovely, expensive buttons, and a closer inspection revealed the fact, that one of the sleeves was up-side down, and the other wrong side out. To say that I was put out or angry at this, would lie thoroughly ridiculous, for I was downright insane for the space of a half hour. Well, something else must be used instead, which was too provoking for anything, for I was sure—with that lovely dress—l would be the observed of all observers, and in all probability make some very favorable impressions upon so and so, for they would assuredly think that patcr-familias had the shiners. However, the dress was once more returned, and the next time when it came home mamma declared that it was all out of fashion, for the Misses Smith had worn dresses made just like it for the last two weeks, at least, and so it must bo returned to the shop and all completely remodeled ; and now when it returns the material will be all out of fashion ; and so I shall have to give up the idea of sending my picture to the Exposition, and remain at home myself, and wreak out my eternal vengeance on the shoddy dressmakers and detestable fashion. Oh. what martyrs we are to great queen goddess fashion, and her twin sis- - ter, etiquette 1 We must pinch and torture our little toes, like the heathen Chinee, in No. 1 shoes, for it would be just abominable to wear No. 2’s. Our hands must be loaded down with rings, all diamonds (except in quality) until white and delicate. And we must sit at that piano for hours in succession, rasping and banging away at something until our strength and patience are gone, and our nerves all unstrung and let loose, and we don’t know for what, when we would much rather play, “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” or “Coming Thro’the Rye,” or “Willie, We Have Missed You.”

And the rest of the time we must masticate French and Latin verbs for pastime. We must sit in the parlor as prim, afternoons, as the Sisters of Charity, and keep as still as mice for fear that our pretty muslin dresses will look a little cramped, when we in our hearts are longing to jump and laugh and be merrv. But that would never do, for you would be called coarse and rude. We must never laugh to show irnr teeth, no matter how white and prettv they are, for that would be very impolite. If a friend calls, we must just touch their hand with the tips of our lingers, ami coldly say, yes and no, and you don't say so ; really, I didn't think so, etc. Never earn- on conversation, only in monosyllables, for you would lose your dignity if you should. When you make a call be sure you d »n't stay over five minutes at the longest, for if you should you would lx- considered very unfashioiiable an Ito sum all up. yon might as w II be out of th-- world as out of the fashion.

The son of the celebrated banker, Baron d’Erlanger, Frederic Erlanger, a virtuoso of twelve years of age, made his debut as a pianist at the Casino at Deauville, France, week before last, by exe-’ cuting a concerto of Mendelssohn. Before she appeared on the stage, Miss Neilson served as a bar-maid at a little French case, the Case de la Regence, in Windmill street, Haymarket, where she first learned French, and left behind such a reputation for beauty that all the bar-maids of the case ever after called themselves Lilian. The New York correspondent of the Buffalo Courier writes: Whether Bernhardt will do as well as Miss Neilson did remains to be seen. No one has h-ny wish to the contrary, but, on the other hand, no one will be surprised if the eccentric Sara fails to draw quite as well as Manager Abbey appears to expect. The cost of her engagement will be enormous, and perhaps she will not make a sensation after all. It will take at least $1,500 a night to clear expenses. Bernhardt will dress wonderfully, no doubt, but fine dressing alone is not enough to insure success. Miss Neilson spent an immense deal of money on her wardrobe, but her pretty face and pleasant ways on the stage were more effective than all her satins and diamonds. An actress of any note at all must dress extravagantly nowadays, but even the best dresser must have more than that to commend her. She must either have genius or beauty. Bernhardt certainly has not got the latter. She may have genius, but it is not yet quite certain that her genius, supposing that she has it, is the right sort for the American stage. However, for the manager’s sake, if no more, it is to be hoped that Bernhardt will make a hit at the start and keep it up. He has taken a big risk, and if anything goes wrong it will not be an easy matter to make it right again.

HEADACHES OF TO-DAY.

[From the Hoboken Democrat.] We refer to those peculiar, throbbing pains, which seem to fill the head to the exclusion of everything else. • Such a headache troubled Mrs. A. Ettangcr, Plainfield, N. J. She fays: I suffered for sixteen years with a painful nervous headache, and I consulted many physicians in vain. Some time ago, I received by chance a Hamburg Family Almanac, read the testimonials in favor of Hamburg Drops and bought a bottle for trial. The effect was so beneficial that I continued its use. Before many weeks had passed I was Vnred, and now keep this wonderful remedyconstantly on hand.

O, Peaches!

The peach originated in Persia and Northern India, and is of the same genus as the almond. The nectarine differs from the peach only in being smooth while the peach is downy. It is a mere variety, probably produced and assuredly preserved by cultivation. The free-stone peach of the French is their pechc, wfejia the cling stone is their -pavie. A remarkable variety, of . Chinese origin, has' the fruit compressed and flattened with almost evergreen leaves. The peach is cultivated widely in Southern Europg, in many parts of the East, in South America and Australia, though it has never, it is believed, attained the perfection of the fruit in the United States. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Ohio raise suburb peaches’ and have often orchards containing from 20,000 to 25,000 trees. The quaptity of dried peaches is reported to be steadily increasing, while peach bravely is diminishing. Peach water, obtained by bruising the leaves of the tree, the pulp with water, is not only employed for flavoring, but in fnedicine as a sedative and vermifuge. The stone of the fruit is very like the bitter almond in its properties, and the blossom are used in the facture of a liquor called Persico. In the Old and New World there are, it is said, more than 100 varieties of the delicious fruit

I have been troubled with Erysipelas Humor for more than thirty years, in my limbs and other parts of my l»ody, and nave been a great sufferer.
