As predicted, long ago, the name of Stanley Mathews of Ohio was sent to the Senate by the president to day for justice of the Supreme Court. Little talk occasioned, except that another OhlO man had reached a high position, Mathews takes the place of Swayne, also from Ohio. The Court is far behind in its work,-and the infusion of new blood will be of $heat benefit* For this and other reasons the nomination of Mr. Matthews is looked upon with great favor In legal circles. The nomination wlfi be confirmed by a unanimous vote.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—Fieid, Leiter & Co the largest dry goods firm west of New York, published notices of separation without giving a hint to newspaper men or general public. It is the only sensational thing that is charged to them in their business career of twenty years The ostensible cause for the separation of these two successful men is the claim of the retiring partner (Leiter) that^he is over wqrked. But gossip is spreading the rumor that the good ladies of these gentlemen are affected with that yenemous passion jealously, and haye socially ostracised them for many months, and they say that this is the real motive.
PANA, III!, January 26.—A bloody tragedy was enacted »ix miles north of the city last evening.

He then made several ineffectual attempts to kill himself with the same weapon, and finally succeeded in shattering his jaw so badly that he may yet die, and thus defeat the ends of justice. ____________

Special to the Indianapolis Journal,' WASHINGTON, January 26.—Captain S. L. Phelps, who to-day appeared before the House committee on foreign affairs, made a powerful and conclusive argument against the policy of allowing the Panama Canal Company to proceed further in their designs for the location of a strait through the American isthmus. Alter a full exhibit of mmerfUl reasons which should induce the united States to to take action in the premises, and demonstrating the great and vital importance which had attached! to such connecting links for commerce in the past, Mr. Pnelps said: The history of the events which led to the negotiation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is b:g with lessons applicable to the present occasion. A few s'lbjects of Great Britain entered the woods of Central America to cut logwood and mahogany. From this small beetning grew the colony known as the Belize, a British colony in full possession of a territory and engaged trade with the Mesquito Indians. From this sprung the wretched farce of a British protecorate over the Mosquito Kingdom, whose territory was declared to embrace the mouth of the outlet of Lake Nicaragua and the port of San Juan del Norte, which to that time the world had accepted as a port of Nicaragua. An active aggressive action in that section was inspired by our growing possessions on the Pacific, and a desire to control what was then regarded as the great future water highway of the commerce of that ocean. The importance of the route to the United States was regarded as inestimable, and our governmen^sought to remove the dangerous pretensions of Great Britain. The Clayton Bulwer treaty is evidence that we waived much of our national rights to attain the ead, and with the results sure to flow from a policy wanting In vigor, firmness and independence. I now reach the inquiry as to what are the interests of the United States in this new strait that may be specially effected. consideration is the im-
rtance of ship canal to as in war, aa

While it will be for us, as for all other of the great powers, the highway of foreign trade, it will be also a thoroughfare for domestic commerce equal if not superior, in "amount to the traffic of all other nations passing the canal Over this great trade, fn which no

the '31 United States—an obligation of a character which nations ire so slow to disregard and which is, in the pursuit of national interests, of morehinding force than treaty stipulatior.g and declarations of intentions? Columbia exists in security bccause the Unit ed States wills that, sne shall. Remove from her the protection of the flag that floats over this capitol, and how long would Colombia sustain herself in that inevitable struggles in which the law of existence for nations, as for individuals, is the survival of the fittest? By invoking and accepting the guarantee of security from the United States, Colombia bound herself by the strongest of moral obligations to regard in all things dependent upoh her actions the interests and rights of the protecting power. How did she fulfill the duties resting upon her in such weighiy degree? According to articles 14 and 17 of the contract, the Panama Canal Company is to establish rates, make rules and regulations governing vessels in the? canal and fix the fine for their infringement, and detain vessels if the fines are' not paid. The company is the judge of any damage done by and vessel .can fix the amount, and, if it is not paid, detain her, the vessel, in either case, to be prosecuted according to law. This reference to laws in article 19 is so indefinite as to leaye doubt as to what laws are referred to. or at least such would bathe case had it not been announced in Paris that French- courts will have jurisdiction.
Colombia, in thus investing a foreign company with independent powers of legislation, has abdicated her sovereign right and duty as to the government of the canal', in favor of that company. She has violated the rights and interests of this country in authorizing a tariff of charges unreasonable in amount and arbitrary in method, and has, by adoptitfjfibd"authorizing a mmtmefs bf meas urements unheard of before In the commercial world, granted a power in respect to the canal tolls that may be made an oppressive and insupportable tax, not only upon our coastwise trade between the shores of the Atlantic and the Pacific, but also upon the entire ex portations of our Pacific possessions. For instance, the wheat crop of the Pa cific coast carried through the canal would be subject to a canal tax apprex imating to nearly $8,000,900.

—A New York reporter went out a few days ago in seareU of a mythical long-bearded man, believed to be a shoemaker, &:ul residing somewhere in Ninth street. He did not find him, but instead met Mr. Thomas McBurnev. keener of a porter-house, who has a beard something over three feet long. He boasts that it is the longest beard worn by any man in the "country who has kept it exposed. He says a beard will grow much longer if worn under the clothing. Mr. McBurney was fill** of information on the subject of long-bearded men, and gave it as his opinion that Mr. Charles Blake, of Jersey City, had the handsomest and lougest be&rd in the United States. It is fifty-two inches in lengthf felling below his knees, is in color a dull auburn, and when the sun shine* upon it, shines like gold. &J4

A Bashful Young Man.
This morning, says the Virginia City Chronicle, a strong, healthy-looking young man entered the county clerk's office and gazed respectfully around. Harry Thompson, the chief deputy, stepped up and blandly inquired of the stranger ii he wished any business transacted.
The young man when spoken to started back as though dieadmg an assault, but he soon recovered himself and said in a whisper "Yes, sir—I called to see—I wanted to have a little talk—how much is it anyhow?"
He had a soft cloth hat in his hand, and kept turning ami twisting it about as he spoke. his face had grown terribly red, and big drops of perepiration were standing on his brow. "What is it you want?" asked the clerk.
The man looked at him pleadingly, but struggled in vain for utterance. His eyes bulged out, his face grew redder, and the veins in his neck and on his forehead swelled til' they looked like great knotted cords. He twisted the hat convulsively, and tlun straightened it out again, ana then he pulled the new lining out of it, and dropped it on the floor. Wlieu he picked it up all dusty from the floor he wiped his steaming face, leaving a dirty streak after each wipe. Finally, it seemed as though the poor young man had quite recovered nimseJf, for he looked cheerfully around the room, and then turning to Mr. Thompson, remarked in a pleasant anc confidential tone: "Well, it is real warm for this section, isn't it?" "Very warm, indeed," replied Mr. Thompson. "It is a good deal better than we have it down in the valley and somehow I've always had just the other notion about it—that the higher up you got the cooler—" "Yes," said Mr. Thompson, '^but about that business of yours
Another fiery blush that looked as if it would scorcn the collar off his neck followed this remark, but the stranger held up bravely. He leaned on tne desk in an easy careless sort of way, and to toy with a mucilage brush, he fact of the matter is I wanted to—"
Hore he paused again and meditatively jammed the mucilage brush into the inkstand. "What the devil are you doing with that brush asked the clerk somewhat impatiently. "Oh, by George—excuse me I" stammered the man as he withdrew the brush, spattering the ink all over the clerk's shirt bosomt and, as if it had been molasses dripping from his fingers, thrust the brush into his mouth, daubing himself with ink and mucilage, and (hen bolted from the office. "That's about the worst case I have seen," remarked Mr.-Thompson, as he wiped a big ink spot from the starboard side of his Roman nose. "Crazy as a bedbug," said Alderman Orndof,"wiio had been an interested spectator of the whole scene. "Yon ought to send a policeman after that man." "No, he's not exactly crazy," replied Thompson, "I knew from the start that he wanted a marriage license, and I thought I'd have a little quiet fun, but lie's broke the line now and*gone oil' vr 1 tli the hook."
A Steam Spring in Kentucky. WHILE some workmen were engaged in quarrying at Grayson Springs, Ky., they struck a vein of hot water which commenced flowing—it is estimated—at the rate of ninety barrels per day. It flows at intervals of about forty minutes, and the steam escapes with terrific force the noise can be heard for at least a half mile distant. It is thought that the witters possess medicinal properties, and a sample has been sent to your city for analysis. It is proposed to utilize the steam as a motor to run the machinery of a large flooring mill situated at this point. This is, indeed, a singular as 'well as an important discovery.—Oor. Cin. OazetU.
