A. Ward and Tom Pepper.

The Oakland Times thus refers to a recent exchange of compliments between two Elko, Nevada, editors: “Thomas Pepper appears to have been the peerless prevaricator of Nevada, from whom all liars in that state are measured up and. down, like heights and depths are measured from the sea level, for we observe that when one Nevadan wishes to refer to the aphasiatic merits of a contemporary he speaks of him as a “bigger liar than Tom Pepper.” Tom Pepper was a California production, though Le was for a time on the Comstock. While here he led a Bohe • mian life, doing odd jobs for the several papers then published in this city. He was here at the time of Artemus Ward’s visit. Tom heard that Artemus had arrived and was stopping at the International hotel. In breathless haste he rushed away to interview the great humorist. He ran at once to Ward’s room, and, knocking, was instantly admitted. “Artemus Ward, I believe?” Artemus signified that the guess was a good one. “I am delighted to meet you,” cried Tom—“delighted to meet you, sir.” “And I have the pleasure of seeing ?—” and the smiling Ward looked a whole line of interrogation points. “I am—l am—that is, my name is ” gasped Tom. “My name is—well, just wait a moment till I think,” and Tom ran out of the room and closed the door behind him, leaving Artemus standing in the middle of the floor.

After a few moments in the hall Tom rushed back toward the astonished Ward with extended hand and glowing face, crying: “Popper, Pepper, sir! I’m Mr. Pepper—Tom Pepper—better known as Lying Tom Pepper.” Hingston, Ward’s agent, was out at the moment. Thinking he had an insane man to deal with, Artemus smiled the most cheerful smile then at his command. He declared he had often heard of Mr. Popper and was delighted to meet him. At the moment he was about to change his clothes; would Mr. Pepper be kind enough to withdraw and call around again in half an hour ? Mr. Pepper would and did. When Mr. Hingston came in Artemus had a fearful story to tell about his adventure with a crazy man. Afterward, when Ward came to know that a sense of his greatness as a humorist had so overcome poor Tom as to cause him to forget his own name, the genial lecturer declared it was the greatest compliment that had ever been paid him.— Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise.

Capital Punishment and Food Adulteration.

Mr. Bright once observed that adulteration was but another form of competition. That sort of competition would seem not to have been appreciated in the middle ages, in Germany, at least, if we may judge from the fate which was held in reserve for adulterators at Nuremburg. The town counsel of that delightful old city is publishing its archives, which throw a good deal of new light upon the manners and habits of the burghers of Albert JDurer’s town, and particularly upon its penal code. For a venial act of adulteration two grocers and a woman were buried alive under the gallows. Two tavern keepers, convicted of having “baptized” their wine, were condemned to a similar fate; but by “great and special grace” they were let off with the loss of their ears. Clearly, competition, in the retail trade at all events, was not Nuremburg. This matter of adulteration is complicated in these days by the liking of some purchasers for falsified goods. Thus many Eastern peoples prefer their calico heavily sized; and sized, too, in a fashion which kills the cotton operatives of Rochdale and other places where goods for the Oriental markets are prepared.— St. James Gazette.

His Leg.

Recently a man had a leg amputated in a Washington hospital, and, upon visiting the capital some months afterward, discovered the member preserved in alcohol. He was shocked, and demanded it that he might bury it. The demand was refused,but upon bringing suit in replevin the case was decided in his favor, and he was given possession of his own leg,

INDIANA LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature adjourned sine die on Monday, April 13. In the Senate G. C. Smith was elected President pro tern., which may lead to important results, as the Lieutenant Governor proposes to resizn and Gov. Gray is a candidate for Mr. Harrison's seat in the United States Senate. Senator Youche introduced a resolution expressing the Senate's appreciation of the impartiality and ability with which senator, hnfus Magee had discharged the duties of President pro tem. of the body, and a supplemental resolution was offered by Senator Zimmerman, wishinz Mr. Magee a safe and happy voyage to Stockholm, the place of his residence as Minister to Sweden and Norway. Both resolutions were unanimously adopted. The last hour of the session was extremely animated. Mr. Maeee introduced a resolution thanking the rerorters of the city papers for their fair and impartial reports of legislative proceedings. Senator Smith, of Jennings County, speaking to a question of privilege, made a violent attack on \V liiiam Fortune, of the Jovrrt a l, designating him as a sneak, scoundrel, coward, and blackmailer. Fortune sent in a note, which was read from the Clerk’s desk, calling the Senator a liar, but after a heated discussion a motion to expel Mr. Fortune from the floor of the chamber was defeated-. The vote was a tie, and the Lieutenant Governor decided by his vote against expulsion. In the House the concluding session was spent in allowing or refusing extra allowances to the employes. Resolutions of thanks to Speaker Jewett and the emgloyes of the House wtre adopted, the former y a unanimous rising vote.

Our Little Joe.

In a newsboys’ home a visitor observed a child’s high-ehair standing in a corner of tbe dining-room. “Have you a child here?” he asked the matron. “No. That is onr little Joe’s,” she said. A sudden silence followed. Even the boys standiug near checked their noise and skirmishing for a few minutes.

“Who was Joe?” asked the visitor.

“A little fellow,” said the matron, “who came to us when he was but six years old. He was a hump-back and a cripple, never having grown after he was five. He was a bright, pushing little fellow, and a very affectionate child. He slept here and took most of his meals here. That is his chair. I I gave it to him. The superintendent said I favored him. Well, I was fond of Joe.

“We have a savings bank into which the boys put their pennies or dimes every week. It gives them the habit of economy. Joe began saving when he first came to ns. He would bring his five or ten cents every Saturday, laughing. “ ‘I am saving np to have a home of my own when I am grown up,’ he would say. “He had neither father nor mother, nor any kinsfolk, and I don’t know what was the boy’s idea of a home of his own. He was very happy here—a sort of ruler among the other boys. Yet he went on saving, and always for that purpose.

“He was never a strong boy, and when he was sixteen a heavy cold he took went to his lungs. It only needed a day or two to make an end of his poor little body. One day he said to me, just after the clergyman had been with him: “ ‘ That money I’ve saved it will be enough to pay the doctor and buy a coffin for me.’ “ ‘But, Joe,’l said, ‘how about the home of your own ? ’ “He did not answer me at first, and then he smiled, saying, ‘That’s all right! ’ and he held my hand tight. ‘l’ll have it. That’s all right.’ “The next day it was all over. We took Joe’s money and paid the doctor and bought him a coffin. It didn’t need a big one. The boys clubbed together, giving ten cents each, and bought him a lovely pillow of white roses, with ‘Our Joe’ upon it. Every boy got a tag of black on his arm to go to the funeral. He had his own home then, sir. But wherever he was, I think the roses pleased him.” She fell behind as we passed on and dusted little Joe’e chair with her apron, setting it reverently apart into a quiet corner.

Kentucky Did Not Want to Secede.

The people of Kentucky did not desire to secede, and they showed it every time they had a chance to express an opinion. They showed it at the election in the summer of 1860, at the Presidential election in 1860, at the Congressional election in May, 1861, by a majority of over 54,000; they showed it at the legislative election in August, 1861, when the Union men were put in by an overwhelming majority in the Legislature; they showed it decisively by furnishing nearly 80,000 soldiers to support the Union cause, and they showed it, finally, and to the disgust of the Confederate generals and authorities, when they declined to rally to the Confederate standard when Johnston came to Bowling Green and Buckner to Green River; and again when Bragg brought his forces within sight of Louisville and Cincinnati. Senator Blackburn has made the claim that Kentucky furnished 47,000 soldiers to the Confederate cause, and Mr. Shaler, in his recent history, puts the number at 40,000. We believe that neither or them can give an authority to support his estimate. Twenty-five thousand, to our mind, is a liberal figure at which to put the number of Confederate soldiers furnished by Kentucky, although up to September, 1861, the facilities for enlisting in the Confederate service in Kentucky were as great as for enlisting in the Union service, although a good part of the State was in the possession of the Confederates from September, 1861, up to February, 1862, and although in the summer and fall of 1862 they had every facility for securing Kentucky recruits. — Louisville Commercial.

ALBERT EDWARD.

His Visit to Cork Produces Scenes oi Wild Disorder and Bloodshed. Mobs Hoot and Jeer Him and Destroy Decorations in His Honor— Serious Bioting. The Prince and Princess of Wales, who have been making a tour of Ireland, arrived in the city of Cork on the 15th inst. What followed is thus described in the cable dispatches from that city: The sun war shining brightly and the weather was all that could be desired for such an occasion. The railway station and the streets in its vicinity were crowded with people awaiting the arrival of the royal party. When the train drew into the station it was greeted with hearty cheers. Everything within the power of loyalists to do was done to make the reception of the royal visitors a success, and the managers of tho demonstration remained up most of the past night to make sure of their arrangements. When the Prince and Princess emerged from the railway station after their arrival in the city they were greeted with cheer after cheer. During their progress in the parade, workmen and boys ran alongside their carriage and kept up their cheering to drown the hissing of the nationalists,who lined the entire route and made continued hostile demonstrations. The conduct of the leaguers aroused the* loyalists to a high pitch of enthusiasm, and they made the streets echo with shouts of welcome. The wonder is there was no violent breach of the peace during the royal progress, for it proceeded amid a continual warfare of words and taunts between the loyalists and the nationalists, whose numbers were about equally divided. A nationalist threw an onion at the royal carnage. The vegetable struck one of the footmen with considerable force, and many stones were thrown by roughs at the people who followed and cheered the royal carriage, and the police several times fired at the roughs. J. O’Connor, Nationalist, member of Parliament for Tipperary, marched at the head of a procession of Leaguers, who closely followed the royal procession and sang "God Save Ireland” every time the Loyalists or their bands started up “God Save the Queen,” or “God Save the Prince of Wales. ” The Prince of Wales displayed soma feeliug when he replied to the address of welcome presented by the Magistrates of Cork. He said he was glad to hear the 'expression of loyalty to the British Constitution and to the Queen which the address contained, and hoped that every person possessing influence in Ireland would exert it to avoid dissensions, which would interfere with the object and progress of his present tour through the country and unite * to promote the real welfare of the Irish people. Immediately after the procession was over a meeting of the Cork National League was held. The meeting declared that the loyalist attempt to get up a fictitious demonstration of welcome in honor of royalty had proved a failure, and passed a resolution congratulating John O’Connor, who managed the hostile demonstrations, for the victory he had achieved for the Nationalist cause. The latest London newspapers containing accounts of the royal progress were burned in a bonfire. After the mass meeting the Nationalists scattered through the city in parties numbering from fifty to five hundred men. Doors and windows were smashed, flags and decorations were tom down and heaped upon blazing bonfires, and many gun stores were broken into for the purpose of arming the mob. Policemen, when encountered singly or in small squads, were attacked and beaten unmercifully with their own truncheons. In many cases the police rallied and charged desperately upon the mob, but they were invariably surrounded and repulsed. The police then resorted to a free use of their revolvers and bayonets. It was hand-to-hand fighting of the most desperate sort, the police standing back and receiving and inflicting terrible injuries. At midnight the streets were practically in possession of the mob. The policemen who remained uninjured could not attempt to do more than maintain their positions and fight on the defensive. In addition to attacks from the crowds in the streets, the police were exposed to murderous volleys of stones from windows, housetops, and other points of vantage. Tbe hospitals are full of injured policemen and rioters.

OTHER FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,

Egyptian Affairs. [Gleaned from the London dispatches.] It is reported that Osman Digma, with but a few followers left, has retreated to Erkowit. Orders have been sent to the Mudir of Senhert to deliver the town immediately to the King of Abyssinia. A number of American ladies are making arrangements for a concert to be given in London, the proceeds of which will be added to the fund instituted by the Princess of Wales for the relief of the wounded in the Sondan campaign. M. de Freycinet, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, has received from M. Barrere, French Consul General at Cairo, an account of the seizure of the French newspaper Boaphore-Egyptien by the Egyptian Government After giving the matter full consideration, M. de Freycinet will prepare a formal protest against the Egyptian Government's action.

It is said England wanted Turkey to occupy Egypt under English officers. Turkey at first objected, but it is believed she is now inclined to agree with England’s wishes. Cable Notes. Baron von Schorlemeralst, the leading representative of Dr. Windtborst, has resigned his seat in the Beichstag in consequence of a serious quarrel with Dr. Windthorst. M. Alfassa, the prominent financier of Paris and London, has failed. His liabilities in Paris amount to 5,000,600 francs and he owes 12,000,000 francs to the London Stock Exchange. Other failures are feared. Armenian , marauders broke into the apartments occupied by the British Consulate at Erzeroum, the principal city in Armenia, and seriously wounded Maj. W. Everett, the Consul. One of the burglars has been caught and imprisoned. A complaint has been made to the Porte about this outrage, and an urgent demand made for satisfaction. . •
