John Rkougham, the actor, was seventy years ola last Bunday. IIa l"ias been on the toga fifty yean. TH engineer of a railroad locomotive found amusement at 'Boston ir thrusting a negro boy's aead tatö the fire-box. The victim's hair W4 turned ft and lika face scorched. A kindly policeman picked a drunkard out
of a an Francisco gutter, and preceivlng that hla head was bent over to one aide, set about straightening it by tnain strength. The fellow laxity opened his eyes and remarked.

Axkxandkb D 17 mas is described as now bei ng a very reserved man, who cares little for miscellaneous society, but who is agreeable and talks brilliantly in company with a few congenial people. He thinks long upon his work before he puts it on paper, and when he begins his MS. he regards his chief labor as ended. ViN2 a celebrated, a few days since, the unveiling of the statue or Beethoven. Vienna, , which the ; great composer called his second home, has thus paid Its debt of gratitude to the man whose works still reign supreme in the Capital of Austria. The monument was Initiated and executed by private subscription. ' 1 Tine principal plank In the platform of Rev. Jefferson Washington (colored). Independent ..nMntii fnrConzress in the Fifth Georgia

He fell across a log which was being sawed, and was carried with it slowly but surely to the saw. He was conscious but utterly helpless. The saw had cut half way through his arm when his awful predicament was discovered. K. boy fell into a vat of potash at Danlelson wille, Mass., two years ago, and the skin of both legs was destroy ed A resort was had to skin grafting, and over 2,000 bits of cuticle, from the boy's mother, the family coachman and several accommodating neighbors, have been used. The result is completely successful. Ä itADY of Macon , Ga., was saying the other day that her household, including servants, are often imposed noon by the mocking bird's clever imitation of . the postman's whistle, which is as perfect as the whisle Itself. They
go out to get the letters and find Jac on a spray near the fence, blowing his whistle and looking entirely Innocent of auy Intention to play April fool on the househould. J axes Kn-fOSBCBT went into a Providence gambling room with 110,000 In his pocket, and an overdose of whisfcy in .his sromach. His drunkenness enabled the sharpers to get his money quickly. After taking 11.2U0 by a pretense of winning it, they resorted to the more simple mode of grabbing it by the handful. A characteristic feature of the case was that one of the gamblers, who secured 11,500, had, when arrested, lost all but 1300 play Id g against a Boston faro bank. Rxv. C. H. SPXTRGKOif, the famous English preacher, flatly denies that he said with reference to Bradlaugh, the antl-religlon radical, that he "would vote for the devil if he were a Liberal;" he would not have voted " for Bradlaugh, but at the same time he believes ,'no man should be made to sufTer for his religious opinions, and men of all creeds and no creed have a right to be represented in the House of Commons, if they- are numerous enough to return a member." ' lis. Txsnysox once found himself sur . rounded by a throng of ladies who were more than usually gushing. He availed himself o ' an opportune pause to remark that he looked upon women as the flowers of the human race. "What a sweetly pretty Idea! How poetical !" exclaimed a chorus of silvery voices "Yes, ladies," continued the Laureate, "and the reason I thins: so is because they never shut up except when they sleep." Poets are now at a discount In that circle of culture. Thb Yosemite Va'ley, first made known to the public in 1855, had 1.C22 visitors In the following ten years.

The lowei part of the
body and the legs were very Daaiy scaiuea.
He died two days afterward. The doctor attributed death to the shock to the nervous tystem earned by the extensive scalds. He edded that the hand was a very unreliable Instrument to test hot water. Nurtes often used the elbow, and thli was much better when a thermometer could not be obtained. At the funeral of Charles De Young, who was recently shot by young Kalloch In Ban Francisco, a hands me gilded frame was displayed on the wall ot the parlor, it contained a piece f en omhmidored work, a bright wreath of
Mowers on black aiik, the center reading: "To Charles, from Mother, 188J." It spoke deeply of the love that was between the murdered man, and his aged mother. Just alter the shooting the dreadful news was kept from her, but when the body was take home she bad been told the worst, fche was dazed by the news and seemed not to coinprelieud. the truth. When she was told that the face was disfigured by the powder burns she refused to
view it, saying she wished to remember nun as he was to her, and not marred In murder From that time she was so prostrated that she could not again leave her room, and was prevented ! root attending the funeral. One of the lloral pieces sent to the house was a plliow of white flowers, with the Inscription In violets, "Died for his Mother."

CONGRESSIONAL AND WASHINGTON NOTES. The Senate on Wednesday referred the House acjournment resolution to the Appropriations Committee, only two of the Democratic members of which fjvor its adoption, one of these even conditioning his support of it upon the passage of several Important bills before May SI. , ' ' ' .
Mr. Butler inane a speecn agmusfc uuwanu Mr Kellog, and the debate on Mr. Bayard's bill regarding deputy marsha s was begun, Messrs. Consllng, Carpenter and Etlmunds nVring snch objections aid amendments as tney coulu thlna of. A report reflecting severely upon the conduct of the Ktcf iver of the Ocean Bank was presented In the House, and the agricultural appropriations bill was amended and passed. The remainder of the session was spent in an attempt to reach action upon the tarlfl bills, but through the efforts of Messrs.' tr. vV'oxl, Conger ami others the time was wasted until the hour of adjournment arrived, al though a majority vote was secured for the consideration of the tariff bill. - Menator Gordon has resigned his seat and ex Governor Joseph E. Brown has been appointed to succeed him. The President has nominated General LougsUebt as Minister to Turkey. . . The Senate on Thursday parsed the bill to authorize a retired list for non-commtssiuned army officers, h t:rst ij r ed all the amendments aheclltiti tue appoint ment of cadets to West Point and adopted one providing for the promotion cf non-com missioned offi
cers to be Becond Lieutenants. 3ir. uananu made a speech in favor of unseating Mr. Kellogg, and Mr. Kellogg made a speech In favor of retaining his seat. A motion by Mr. Bayard to lay aside the Kellogg matter and take up his bill regarding Deputy Marshals was resisted by the Republicans, but carried by a
party vote, and that bill will therefore be regularly before the benate until disposed of. The House passed the District Municipal Code bill and a bill relating to the Osage Indians and, after a contest over the order of businea. took up bills reported from the Public Lands Committee spending most of the time over one In repard to trespassing on the public domain. At the evening session Mr. Wright made a speech in support of his bill to lend Söuo to any peron taking advantage of the homestead laws, but it was laid aside in Committee of the Whoie to be unfavorably reported to the House. A special dispatch says that Mr. Wood's Democratic friends have expostulated with him on his course in obstructing tlieftariff reform biUs,and that he will be compelled spetdily to make It clear whether he means to employ his official posl ion to subserve personal enC s at the expense of the public Interests. Ihe news of Senator Gor don's resignation is received In Wasdingtou with general regret, and a public meeting at Columbus, Ga ,has denounced the selection by Governor Colquitt of J. E Brown to succeed On Friday, after Messrs. Edmunds and Hoar had given vent to their objections In the Senate to Mr. Bayard's deputy marshals bill, and two or three Republican amendments had been rejected, the Democrats passed the measure without discussion. The Appropriations Committee's amendments to the legislative bill were adopted, and the bill passed. In spite of the objections of the Republicans, it was voted to lay aside the Kellogg matter and take up next Mr. Morgan's resolution regard -insr the electoral count. The House amended Rnd passed the bill re
gardlng trespassers upon the public lauds. . A number of bills reported by the same Committee and several private bhls were also passed. The Duöy Mason contested election was decided in favor or Mr. Mason, and the suudry civil bill was reported. The exercises were enlivened by a passage between two Pennsylvania lie publican s. A special diäpatch points out that Mr.Wood's zeal lor the funding bill, with which he obstructs the tariff reform measures, is of very recent orlsrin. At the Cabinet meeting it was announced that the British Government favors the plan of an International Sanitary Convention at Washington. In tbe Senate on Saturday Mr. Morgan made an exhaustive speech in support of hl electoral eunt resolution. Mr. fcdm und s offered an
objection or two, ana Mr. uouKimg rgueu that the measure ought to be a bill Instead of
reaching 2.11 in that year. In la it began to a Joint resolution. , "lu'u J . I .r-i. n .UUm1 Kill lr roranl t.r llAAntms

British Inhospitallty to American. London Times , . ,
It is to be feared Americans commonly find English family circles not very accessible. Every Englishman has learned to value the friendship of the few whom accident or introductionshave made known to 'him. But for the majority of transatlantic visitors
English domestic life is as sealed a book as French or Italian. They arrive with a kind of belief that they are returning home; they go back with so much information of English nature and habits as can be obtained by perambulating the streets and comparing the fair and charges of thirty or forty hotels in different parts of the Kingdom. A foreigner among people speaking a different language, and all whose institutions indicate a different origin, does not expect to
feel at home. Americans in England do not feel themselves foreigners, and must be painfully surprised to discover how entirely they are strangers. The contrast can scarcely fail to be the ruder for the conviction of most Amer icans that in their own country they would extend a much warmer hospitality to British visitors. ( The truth is that British visitors to the
United States at present gain by their rarity, and American visitors to Great Britiari lose by their abundance. Englishmen in the United States are still few enough to occupy the posit ion as guests of, the Nation. Americans disembark at Liverpool in numbers much too in great for individuals to be noticed unless they adopt means to render themselves individually considered. In proportion as the inestimable advantages begin to be understood of be-

Some Curious Facts About Memory. I Medical Press and Circular.
M. Delaunav has made a communication
to the Societe de Biologie respecting memory as studied under the various biological conditions. The inferior races of mankind, such as negroes, the Chinese, etc., have more memory than those of a higher type of civilization. Primitive races which were unacquainted with the art of writing had a wonderful memory, and were for ages in the habit of handing down from one generation to another,' hymns as voluminous as the Bible. Prompters and .professor? of declamation know that women have more memory than men. French womei will learn a foreign language quicker than there husbands. Youths have more memory than adults. It is well developed in children, attains its maximum about the fourteenth or fifteenth year, and then decreases. Feeble individuals of a lymphatic : temperament have more memory than the strong. Students who obtain the prize lor memory and recitation ehieflv belonz to the former class. Parisian
students have also less memory than those
ing able to observe the operation of British who come from the provinces. At the Ecole qualities and institutions in new circum- Normale and other schools the pupils who stances, English visitors to the United States have the best memory are not the most inraust prepare to dispense with the extraordi- telligent. The memory is more developed nsrv Attentions which at oresent minister to among the peasantry than among citizens,

their sense of personal importance. We should rejoice if, on the other hand, Englishmen would take more pains to facilitate for Americans who desire it the means of making acquaintance with English life as it really is. . The more direct the intercourse between English and' American homes the brighter will be the prospect o2 permanent international good will. " Every Autumn tourist to New York and Pen sylvania and New England comes back with a cordial admiration of the country he has traversed, and still more of its
people. Koughness and crudities which oifena on the surface disappear on nearer approach. The same pleasant consequence would attend a closer familiarity of American tourists in Europe with British peculiarities. If the legion of travelers which the United Kingdom is premised during the next few month from the United States will consent to study their blood relations of the mother county from some less general
point of view than the Epsom race course or
and among the clenry than among the laity.
. The memory remains intact in diseases of
the left side of the brain, and is much affect
ed in those ot the right, from which it may
be inferred that the right side is more the seat of this faculty than the left. From a
physiological ' point tof view memory is di

those who know how to read and write. "We remember, moreover, better in the morning
than in the evening, and in the summer than in tbe winter, and better in warm than in
cold climates. Memory is therefore, to a cer
tain extent, in inverse proportion to nutrition, and, more than that, it is in inverse proportion to evolution, since it is greatest in those individuals who are the least advanced from an evolution point of view inferior
