A pretty German saying Is, "Would'st thou clearly learn what the becoming is, inquire of noble-minded women." Miss Mary D. Brown, who died recently in Philadelphia, loft ?139,000 ia charitable bequests to institutions iu that city. Mrs. Ilomualdo Pacheco, wife of the lieutenant governor of California, Las translated a Freueb nlay lor production on the stage. Mr?. Jeunis F. Willing;, the prohibition candidate in Illinois uuliko Barkis, is not willing and baa withdrawn from the canvass. Mrs. Mary 1 Grant Cramer, a sister of the pr-s:.int, describes a visit to Hans Christian nderson, in a pleassnt letter to the Cincinnati Gazette. Mrs. Imogene Morrell, a Chicago artist now in Paris, has painted a picture called "Tbe First Battle of the Puritans," which will soon be exhibited. It is reported that the empress of Russia will go to England shortly, on account of the occurrance of an important event iu the family ot the duke of Edinburgh. Mrs. G?orge North, who is State librarian of Iowa, has been taking a short vacation. During her absence the library affairs were ably managed by Miss Mattie E. Hill. ."Uncle," said Matthew Vassar's dying niece, "do something for women." This was the soed lrom which sprung one of the noblest benevolent enterprises in the woild. A new edition of Mrs. Mary Cowden Clarke's Girlhood of Shakspeare's Heroines has been issued by G. P. Putnam's Sons in a form worthy of t be merit3 ofthat admirable work. According to the report of the State Board of Health of Massachusetts 1S71, a large part ot the 4 V) analysis there given woro performed bv a lady in too laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Mrs. Dion Biucicault (Agnes Robertson) lives in U?gent street, London, where she give lrequent literary reunions. She is the mother ot fivo children, of which the two eldest ar a sm and daughter, nam3d Dion and Eve respectively. Annie Dodd is a British damsel who refused to pay her taxes. They came fer her cow, when, unlike some American ladies in a similar case, she brandished a knife and charged upon the collector. Now she pines In the baatild oi an effete despotism. Says the Bädford (Pa.) Gaz9tte: There are In Pennsylvania 150 postmistresses. It has been common for many years to appoint women to that position, and they are always efficient officers. We believe net one has ever proved a defaulter to the government. The press of Mahoning county, Ohio, has been lately augmented by the addition of a magazine, which is published at Canficld, called the Golden Mean. It is entirely in the hands of ladies who edit and perform all the mechanical labor oa it. lis prospects are said to be flittering. Over four thousaud women in Salt Lake City petitioned the municipal council to grant no licenses for the sale of Intoxicating liquor. Grant's representative, Judge McKean, decided, however, that gambling dens and concert saloons should be open whether the people wished it or not. Miss Thompson, the artist, ha been presented with a maguificent bracelet by the queeu. What is quite as good, her "Roll Call" U proving a great success as an exhibition throughout England, and she has enough orders for pictures to keep her pencil busy for a dozen years to come. Soma ol the smartest canal boat captains to bo seen at Alexandria, Va., are women. Tbev can blow the horn as loudly and steer the boat as well as any he captain on the canal, and in the lights Incident to their vocation, especially the verbal ones, they al ways come off conquerors. Madame Christine Nüsson visited Norwich, England, reeeatly, to fulfill a promise she made six years ago, to sing for the benefit of tho House of Mercy, established there by Jenny Lind in lS-VJ. She give two concerts, and was publicly thanked by the mayor and conimou couccil of the city. Mr3. John Morrissey promenades the streets of Saratoga in a bUek drap d'ete pclononaise, embroidorisd in silk, with truo lovers' knot3 and with flowers. n all their natural and strong col , yellow, rrd, white, etc. It was import -- i fYoia' Paris at a cost of $1,000 gold. Nobody r.ass the lilv without turning to look at her gorgeous

costume. The lady wears a single stone diamond ring, said to be worth $10,000.

Miss Ann Oliver, formerly a resident of Cincinnati, lately enrolled herself at Wesleyan Hall, Boston University, as the first female student In the theological school, amid the applause of the male members of the class. She has been in Oberlin (O.) University a year, but was given to understand that it w"as not proposed to graduate a female minister. She is a graduate of a New York college, was one ' of the Ohio crusaders, and ha& preached in several ehurches of various denominations. Jennie Junegot a hat that turned up on one side, and her husband criticised it so severely that she wore ber old bonnet when she went to see the "Sphinx," and lo! it was the only one there. Everybody had on a new hat, and everv one had it turned up hizh on the side. S&fd her husband, "Good heavens! have all the women gone crazy?" "Yes," replied she, meek'.y. "and why can't I go crazy tool" "M.V near, nam u, -jruu may It would be ridiculous to be the only sens! ble woman in tho w orld." So hereafter she is Koinir to wear her gray felt turned up on one side, in peace. The Paris correspondent of the New Or leans Picayune informs us that "husband and wifo rarely have a common bed cham ber hi Franco (1 speak of the wealthier classes.) This arrangement does not, how ever, avert curtain lectures from him, out rather increases their disagreeablemss by throwing them on meal times. Slumber soon piunzes Mr. Caudle himself intolethe; but interrupted digestion tortures Katherine's husand long atter her shrewish tongue has ceased to wag. Husbands, sleep with your wives, unless dyspepsia has no terrors lor you." A correspondent asks: Will Miss Sher man's sensible course inaugurate a new era in fashion and put a decided check on the extravagance of a bridal trousseau? Be sides her wedding-dress, which is very ele gant, Miss MinnieSherman has not one new evening dress. Her outfit is simple, service able and sensible. A handsome gray silk traveling suit, handsome black silk walking and loner dresses, and a few other necessary, unostentatious dresses comprise her outfit. The lingerie is extensive and exquisite, as a lady's Bhould be. Do you remember the surprise manifesto at the first marriage which had the boldness to announce "No cards?" And yet now it is an every-day occurrence. Burleigh,' in a letter to the Boston Jour nal, says: The greatest effort has been made to get a correct likeness ot Mrs. Tilton. One house offered 11,000 for a photograph. There are but two known ones in existence. One of these Mr. Tilton has, and keeps on bis parlor mantel. When any one speaks of bis WM3 be takes it down and shows it. The other is held by a distinguished New York photographer. He has resisted the glittering offer for the picture. He regards the disposal of it as a bieaeh of faith that would hurt hi business. Nothing that has appeared g'ves the slightest idea of this now famous woman. She- is a small, fragile wo man, dark complexion, low in stature, girl ish in look, her hair parted in the center and tailing in ringlets lehind looking more like a school girl of 18 than a matron of 40. AT PLYMOUTH CHURCH. THE FIRST SERMON BY MR. BEECHEB AFTER HIS VACATION TUB CROWD AND THE SCENES. A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune, on the 4th in&t., gives the following account of the first fJuuday's services at Plymouth Church since Mr. Beecher's return: A church decorated and perfumed with the flowers which loaded every available place, crowded in seats, aisles, and halls, with a patient multitude, while people enough to have filled it twice over struggled lor admittance at the doors, awaited the deliv ery of the first sermon by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher after his summer vacation. Plymouth Church seemed to be a special center of attraction. Long before the hour of opening the church the crowd was wait ing at the doors. All the cars stopped at Orange street to add to the numbers, and from the ferry-boats there was a constant stream of hurrying people. When the doors were opened, at about 0:30, the seats were quickly failed, the rights or pew-holders not being generally respected. Fortunate were they who gained admittance then, for tho wouldbo audience en the outside rapidly augmented its number. A force of policemen at tho maiu entrance, on Orange stresl, labored quietly, but persistently, to keep some order in the crowd. which would not believe that pushing and crowding would not fjree an entrance, and to keep them from the doors when there was room for no more. Occa sionally some lady or gentleman, a church member, would bo allowed to enter, only to reach the door in a much agitated condition and find their seats occupied. At the side eutrance a line was formed, and some one guarded the door, admitting only those who were recognized as members. A small number were gathered around the door of the lecture room, but no Stratege m would secure admittance. There, some disappointed in not gaining admittance, climbed to the windows and sioou on the sills lookmg in, but these were quickly dragged from their perches. During the first part of the services probably about 2,500 TEOPLE WAITED patiently outside, the number gradually growing less as the impossibility of seeiDg or hearing the great preacher grew more ap parent. Inside the audience had settled themselves in their seats, filling the moments of waiting with a loivl buzz of conversation, in which one could catch the name of the pastor as the text. The uor.il decoration was very tastefully done. The platform was fringed with a bank of Iii; I it -colored flowers and variegated leaves. Tuberoses, lilies, gladioluses, ivy and smilax, which.with tho bouquets on the table and desk, perfumed the airaronn J. From the front ot tho choir-gallary de pended a simple festoon ol smilax, which, extending along the galleries, was loopad with bouquets. I ho sides or the church above were similarly adorned. Mr. Beecher's entrance was unmarked by any of the de monstrative enthusiasm as on Friday night. He quietly took his seat and tho services began. The choir sung the Te Deutn, the hyinns, prayer and sermon lollowed. No allusions at all were made which could have been construed as referring to the troubles of the church or pastor. The sermon was upon the "Government of God," which he likened, as near as human understanding could conceive, to that of a wise, just and loving parent; upon what was God's will in relation to men, and referring to tho human judgment of God, each other, and themselves, in comparison with what it should ba. Wnen the services were over, tlio audieucjonerallv seemed in no hurry to depart until Mr. Beecher had lefi himself, while some of those outsido availed themselves promptly of the opportunity to enter and look up at him. A rumor wa3 cir culated atone time, just before tho beginning of the services, and a slight disturb ance at the door gave it credence, that Mr. Moniten Lai tried to enter. The only inundation for it 'was the effort of the police to prevent a crush at the doore, which was nii-irUror-'ted by some Imaginative person. The attc'iidincc of strangers was marked in the galleries.

SOMEBODY, Somebody'a courting somebody Somewhere or other to-night; Somebody's whispering to somebody, Somebody's listening to somebody Under the clear moonlight. Near the bright river's flow, Running so still and slow, Talking so oft and low, She sits with somebody. Pacing the ocean's shore. Edged by the foaming roar. Words never breathed before. Bound sweet to somebody. Under the maple tree. Deep though the shadow be. Plain enough, we can see. Bright eyes has somebody. No one sits up to wait. Though she is out so late. All know she Is at the gate Talking to somebody. Tip-toe to parlor door. Two shadows on the floor. Moonlight reveals no more; Maggie and somebody Two sitting side by side. Float with the ebbing tide, "Thus Maggie, may we glide Through life" says somebody. Somewhere, somebody Makes love to somebody. To-night.

THE SOLDIER'S STORY. THE NEW ORLEANS UPRISING. OFFICIAL REPORT OF GEN. F. N. OODEN, COMMANDING THE ANTI-KELLOGG FORCES. The following official report has iust been made public: Head'rs Louisiana State Militia, New Orleans, Sept. 17. Col. E. J. Ellis, A. A. G. Colonel: I have the honor to report, that on Monday, Sept. 14, at 1 p. m., upon the uprising of the citizens en masse, and Immediately on receipt of commission from Lieut. Gov. Penn, acting governor during the temporary absence of Gov. McEnerv, appointing me major general commanding the State militia, and in pursuance of his orders to assemble my troops, I at once proceeded to form a defensive line ot battle on Poydras street my right resting on the levee, my left on Carondelet street with the intention of throwing tho city Into a military camp, for the purpose of thoroughly organizing the State forces. With commendable alacrity the following commands reported at my headquarters on camp, near Poydras street, viz.: As before stated, my line of defense was formed on Poydras street, at 3 P. M.. the right, under command of Col. W. J. Behan, consisting of companies A, B, C, E, and G, Crescent City White League, and the commands of Capts. Flood, Andreas, Allen and, Shropshire, supported by one twelvepounder gun, extended from the levee to Tchoupitoulas street. The central, composed ot the commands of Capts. Dupre, Mclntyre, and Phillips "extending from Tchoupitoulas to Camp street; the left, with the commands of Capts. Roman, Tennison and Vautier from Camp to Carondelet streets. Colone John G. Angell was ordered by ma to take position on St. Charles street, above Poydras, to guard against attack from the central police station, on Carondelet street. Maj. J. D. Hill, of the above battalion, with company E. Lieut. Richardson commanding, was directed to place himself on the corner of Camp and Common streets, to check any advance of the enemy by wav of Chartres and Camp streets. "Capt. H. D.Coleman's company or artillery, supported oy section D Crescent City White League, under command of that trusty leader, Capt. Archibald Mitchel, together with Capt. Dennee's section, were stationed at the corner of Camp and Julia streets, and the Louisiana Rifle Club, together with the unattached forces, under command of Mai. John Augustin, at the corner of Carondelet and Julia streets, with pickets on the ex treme left and right, formed my reserve force and second line of defense. While strengthening my lines and arranging my troops more perfectly, the enemy, consisting of about five hundred Metropolitan po lice, with SIX PIECES OF ARTILLERY, under Gens. Longstreet and Badger, moved by way of Chartres, Peters, and Decatur streets, taking position on Canal street, about the United States Custom House, and in front of the iron building and Mobile railroad passenger depot, leaving a reserve of the First Louisiana Brigade to guard the State house and arsenal at Jackson square. At 4:15 p. m.. Brig. Gen. Badger, with about 400 Metropolitans, armed with the most im proved weapons, one Gatling gun, and two twelve-pounder Napoleon guns, opened fire upon my extreme right, which was promptly responded to by that gallant. experienced and vigilant officer, Col. W. J. Beban, whoso celeritv and brilliancy of movement is de serving of the highest praise. Capt. Pleas ants, of section L. C. C. W . L., whose command was armed with improved weapons, and amply supplied with ammunition, gained the enemy's flank and poured a deadly fire into their ranks, which caused them to waver. Capt. John Glynn, Jr., finding his piece of artillery useless, acted with the promptness and dash of a trained soldier, and ordered Lieut. E. A. Guiber to charge, which he did with gallantry, in conjunction with company A, Capt. Vaudry, and B. Capt. Lord, down the open levee and street, driving back the enemy and capturing his guns. At the same time company C, Capt. Buck, company G, Capt. Kilpatrick, and commands of Capts. Allen. Shropshire, Andres and Flood, charged down Front, Peters and Tchoupitoulas streets, forcing the enemy completely from his position, To this result Maj. J. D. Hill contributed by a timely withdrawal of his command from the position assigned to him, and aided materially in driving the Metropolitans from their last stand. In the meantime Capt. A. B Phillips was ordered to make a flank movement on the enemy's right, in which he was assisted by Capt. Tennison's command and a portion of the St. John White League. He met and dispersed a body of them at the corner of Chartres and Custom-house streets, losing two killed and three wounded, and then returned to his former position in the center of my line. After removing the captured guns I resumed my original position, with.the intention of PREPARING FOR AN ADVANCE early the next day upon the enemy's stronghold below Canal street; but soo complete, in my opinion, was the demoralization of the enemy from tho action of Monday, evidence of which I had received during the night from citizens and soldiers active In our cause, corroborated by the surrender to my command of large bodies of Metropolitans, that the capture of these strongholds seemed but a question of time. To press this capture. Col. Augell, supported by Capt. Coleman's artillery, was ordered to move forward early In the morning on these points, leaving his position occupied by the commands of Capts. Mitchell and Mclntyre. By 10 o'clock A. M., Col. Angell was in possesion of all the enemy's important points below Canal street, having received material assistance in this movement from Capt. Macheca. Information of this result was immediately transmitted to your headquarters. The judgment displayed by Col. Angell, together with the gallantry of his officers and men In effecting these captures, merit the highest commendation. I take pleasure in mentioning the prompt obedience to all orders and the heroic devotion to duty shown by officers and men throughout my entire command. From the nature of the action it was not possible for all my forces to have ben engaged; but I do not hesitate to state that, bad the necessity arisen, all

would have acted equally well. I must state that where such numerous offers of aid were tendered by citizens It would be Impossible in a report of this kind to make individual mention, and any of omission of "special notice" arises from no want of ap-

preciation on my part. The enemy's loss must have been very heavy from THE NUMBER OF DEAD AND WOUNDED left by them on the field. Their chief, Gen. A. S. Badeer, fell into our bands, severely wounded. My command suffered in the charge of the 14th a loss .f 12 killed and 13 wounded (several have since died), among them some of our most respected and prominent youug citizens. Thus was the lifeblood of our best people poured out upon the altar of their country. Sorrow fills the heart while relating that in the nineteenth century--an age of boasted civilization--and in the American Union, whose corner-stone is freedom, there can be found injustice so great as to require a sacrifice so dear. In the signal victory of the - ' " . i jv.ui ' . 14th of November we must acknowledge, with profound gratitude, tha hand of a kind and merciful God. The opportunity afforded through the mistaken strategy of a sagacious militaryleader, by which we were enabled to strike a blow for freedom, which, in decisiveness of character. has scarcely a parallel in history, can surely be ascribed to no human power. To that God who gave us the victory we commit with confidence and hope the spirits of our immortal dead and strong in the conscious ness of right, record anew our holy purpose that Louisiana shall he free. I have the honor, colonel, to subscribe myself, very respectfully, Frederick N. Ogden, Major-General Commanding. T. LEE Shute, Colonel and A. A. G. . WILL NOT GO TO CONGRESS. THE SERVITUDE OF OANDATURE WASHING TON A BREEDER OF DISCONTENT DECLINATION OF GEORGE M. STEARNS. Mr. George M. Stearns, who was to have been nominated in the eleventh Massachusetts district by the democrats, to succeed Dawes. writes the following remarkable letter of declination: I believe that, unless I interpose, I shall be nominated for and elected to the office of representative to Congress from this district. Whether I am right or wrong in this conviction is Immaterial; but I sincerely believe that I am confronted with the question. "Will I go to Congress?" In the decision of this question I have found great difficulty. On the one hand I have a strong desire to go and an ambition to strive for success or brave failure on the national arena. I am as fullv open as any one can be to the grateful flattery of being chosen to fill such a position of power, honor and fame. I also feel deeply the imputation which, with great justice, may be laid upon me, of weakness and unstable purpose, if, after permitting the use of my name in connection with the nomination so long, I now reconsider my consent. know that I have never exhibited much constancy in bearing nominations or retaining offices, and that this retreat will exhaust the patience of those who desire to confer them upon me. On the other hand, I do not think lam adapted to office holding or carrying nominations. The sense of obligation, under both ! conditions, is irksome. The superintendence ! and overseership and regulation of selfconstituted advisers is humiliating. I chafe under the servitude of candidature. The appearance of office-seeking and overweening anxiety to seize place and power is intolerable. If I take the nomination. am in debt to those who confer it. They justly have the right to call on me to devote much of my time and powers to their service in tho canvass. My time is so crowded with business engagements that I can not answer their reasonable demands without breach of promise to my clients. Again, I have labored for 22 years to establish a business which would yield me competency and ease in my later years. The accomplishment of my aim is near it I steadly persevere In the pursuit of my profession. No one can tell how distant if I fritter away my opportunity. Still again and more than all, I have a home blest with contentment. My happiness and that of mv family depend on keeping it so. When I recall the many instances of lives mutilated and blighted by discontent and restlessness engendered by the fascinations of the capital, I shrink from he hazard. 1 dread its power of incapacitating those who come within its charmed precincts for the quiet pleasures and the ordinary enjoyments and associations of life. I, therefore, with great reluctance, but with well-weighed resolution decline to be a candidate for the office named. I have intruded this long statement of my reason for this step that my friends may see I have duly weighed the matter, and that they may not trouble themselves or me with inquiries as to the causes of my action. I have written "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." Permit me to lengthen this letter a line to thank my numerous friends for their long enduring kindness, and to assure them that their friendship is most gratefully treasured. George M. Stearns.

LOVE. From Holland's New Poem. In all the crowded Universe There is but one stupendous Word ; And huge and rough, or trimmed and terse, Its fragment build and undergird The songs and stories we rehearse. All forms that human language ties, All phrases of the books and schools, And all the words of great and wise Are weak attempts, or clumsy tools. To speak the word that speech defies

That word, ineffable to man. Though spoken through a thousand years Or thundered in the fiery van Of all the myriad wheeling spheres Unvoiced remains where they began. There is no tree that rears its crest. No fern or flower that cleaves the sod, No bird that sings nbove its nest, But tries to speak the name of God, And dies when it has done its best. Like marble in the mountain spine, White at its heart as on its face We chip its crystals, nor divine The forms of majesty and grace That wait within the central shrine! And this great word, all words above, Including, yet defying all Soft as the crooning of a dove. And strong as the Archangel's callMeans only this means only love The love of home and native land. The love that springs in son and sire. And that which welds the heart and hand Of man and maiden in its fire. Are sign, by which we understand. The love whose passion shook the Cross ; And all those loves that, deep and broad, Make princely gain of piteous loss, Reveal the love the love in God As in a blood illumined gloss. MORTON AND THE SOUTH. THE HOT SPRINGS PLOT HOW MORTON AND HIS ADVISERS PLANNED AN "OUTRAGE" CAMPAIGN. The Memphis Appeal contains a letter from Hot Springs, Ark., in which some in teresting political secrets are divulged: The recent political "pow-wow" at Hot Springs, Ark., of Senators O. P. Morton, Powell Clay ton, Dorsey, Judge McClure, Congressmen Hodges, Hines, and others of the "small fry," is here now fully understood by the knowing ones. The chess games on the outside were intended merely as a blind to deceive the many. Those games wore only initiatory to the new political game now being so disgracefully played by those wily politicians. This, it is said, originated in the rear basements of the vicious brains of Clayton and McClure. They came hither to suggest their wicked plans to the bold knight, the "sage of circumstances," of Indiana. It was submitted with all seriousness, "as the only feasible way to perpetuate radical rule," "to regain political power in Arkansas, and then control the rest of the Southern States." The programme agreed upon was, that renewed energy must be thrown at once into the party press, not only in Arkansas and the Southern States, but also throughout the Union; that the republican press at Little Rock must have a corps or vigilant editors; that it must be vigilant, and faithfully serve the party in this State. A record of all reported crimes occurring in all the Southern States, within the past your years, must be obtained, and daily a rehash of some diabolical outrage, some wrong, murder, assassination, war of races, abuse or freedom, extermination of the negro, robberies, deeds of lawlessness, everything apparently flagrant, such as base minds could only imagine and put into shape, must be published in the several States to impress the Northern minds, especially, for its effect upon the politicians from "that section. President Grant's popularity throughout the South was entirely unknown heretofore to the jealous Morton. When the fact was made known to the ambitious senator of the west, by the evidence before him, during his trip South, he was much disturbed. When he was assured that General Grant had almost positively determined to let the people of the South alone, Morton at once resolved to CHECKMATE THAT POLITICAI. GAME. "Oh, no," he hurriedly exclaims, "we will make him show his bands." "Arkansas and Texas will vote for Gen. Grant without a shadow of doubt, and surely give him a large majority over any other candidate for tho presidency," was the expression of an intelligent bystander. "Yes," replied another, "if be carries out his alleged policy, and allows the sovereign voice of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Carolinas to be exercised allows each Southern State to elect its respective officers, as he has done in Texas and Arkansas, with his positive popularity in the other States of the Union, he could be president for the third and fourth term, or as long he desired the place." The stoical Morton changed front when Clayton, McClure, Dorsey and others chimed in and confirmed the expression that Grant would carry every State in the South; moreover, that the rebels would encourage, him to run again; that they wanted no change; that they were "afraid and unwilling for you (Morton) or Washburne to be president." The pow-wow senators with closed doors and loud voices soon became a lively theme about the hotel, and all the knowing ones were on the qui vive. All the conversation in the conference could be distinctly heard in the room next above; these open floors in a frame house proved unfit for deep-laid schemes, and the secrecy that gives success to diplomacy. Morton being defective In hearing, there was no privacy in the bold suggestions and the determined plans that were so fearlessly and loudly proclaimed. For effect, at once make a powerful political stir. White League, Ku-Klux reports, conventions, etc. Firstly, Arkansas must immediately have a State convention ; put forth the most forcible and earnest speeches and the strongest addresses for the republican cause; call a Southern convention at an early day, at some secure place (Chattanooga has been since selected), and then and there have the backbone, the boldest of the party of all republicans South to represent us. Assemble there and make known the delects in tee government in all its past efforts to reconstruct the Southern States. "Place Judge McClure, at once, in charge of your press at the capital, and let the party know what you are doing success will crown your efforts. 'BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER.' " added Morton. "Hynes will remain after you all leave me, and I'll aid you further in all necessary plans, gentlemen. I'll soon leave the Springs and commence the new campaign for you in the West," was the cheering words of the "sage." No monthly nurse could have been more faithful to a "lying-in woman" than Hynes proved in his attention to Morton in his delivery. They were almost inseparable during the brief stay, and they, together, hurriedly left the water for more blood. The new St. Domingo, Hot Springs, Arkansas, like Aix-la-Chapelle, may yet become famous for the assembling, of the great rulers of the government. It is now a safe wager here that Morton will never again return to Hot Springs until he is part owner of the much-coveted property. Clayton, in a speech, on the occasion of his last visit here, was bold enough to tell the people that he expected to make Hot Springs his future home. Government will be swindled - if it does not look out for the ring. It is alleged that the representatives of the radical party in Arkansas expect soon to possess these wonderful thirmal fountains, Everything ap-
