BOB IXUERSOLL. Soma PpeeLaacna of Ilia Wit and nam or. Tf shintton Correspondence. I It recently fell to the lot of your correspondent to attend a stockholders' meeting of a corporation, In which Bob Ingersoll is an cfice-nolder. That noted pagan presided OTer the delibeiations of the would-be millionaires present As nsnal hs was fall of sparkling fan, which is difficult to com'rnuEicats on piper. The charm of that man ia his overflowing good humor. People do 'not Talus Ingersoll's opinions or wants cf opinions. His godlesaness has no attractions for the average men, bat his abounding jollity just shuts out all effective disapproval. He is a man of big brain, bigger stomach and biggest capacity for forcing cheerfulness upon his hearers. His merry blueeya always contains the beginaiasof em He that broadens out through the muscles around hia mouth into a laugh and circles all over the surface of his great, broad, emcoth face, as the waves caused by a summer breeze cover the waters of a wide lake. His short, half-pug nose, set right in the center of his visage, has always a ferny wrinkle that makes perpetual speeches a? to the never-failing sunshine of . the man's disposition. His fat figure shows ' contentment and self-satisfaction ia every cue ot its round carves. His attitudes and gestures are constant exprewioaj of the tent-up drolleries that are averj minute strtigaiirg into expression, whether be stands before the publio or is in the midst of a social company. On the cccasiou now referred to Ioger?oll told kia associates that they had met pricti4lJy to wind up the affairs of the corporation, which had proved a raaney-losing Concern from tha beglnnine. lie went on to detail his own losses through his connection with it. Holding in his hand a 11-t of the stockholders, and groaninj in a serio-comic way, he exclaimed: 'ily eye recta on a r ume here which is very appropriate to a 'cm who would ro Into such aa enterprise as thi?. The came is Gosling Henry A. Celling. The secretary of the meeting turned to a little delicate-featured, slender-iramed man ho tat ctar and said, 'Henry, he's calling for you." Poor Mr. Gosling meekly responded, "That's all riht" "Ah,". eid Ingerscll, "I didn't know Mr. GosliDg was here. Well, the G in my nauis onght to stand for Goo?eIet. Ye, I'll beck cf the f hell and sav I'm unhatcbed." lie then went on to set out in ludicrous teres tie way he had been beguiled into putting his lost thousands into tnls unlucky boire:s. "There was little Herron came to me Kith his head full ef inventions and his pectets full cf machines. He had ia one pocket hi? pajermade from palm, that he'd aci .uu uuu BJuiuiu na m isuuuij'Kvuiau weald ber clothes. Ia another pocket he had a dredging machine. He wanted to take the bottom out of the Fotom&c Hirer. In another pecket he had a little gold washing machine for gold-mining oa the Chestatee Hiver. Ia another pocket he bad a miniature train of cars, and railway, to illustrate Iiis patent switch. In asotfcer pocket he had a pspsr tesfer. His clothes were all pockets, just pockets sewed together. They reminded me of the woir an who wanted a cool dress, and said she believed the'd hare it made of but ton-holes. In discussing the methods of en agent ot the corporation, Insjersoll turned to oae of the stockholders and raid: "Froctor, do yon know why the Enalish farthing wa3 coined? I'll tell you the retten given for it by aa Englishman. He said it was made for the convenience of the Frotcb in making their contributions to His Wajfcsty'B charities." home one suggested that the present hard tinces, which had operated to the damage of the company, might te mitigated by a wise course of action by Congress. "Pooh," said Ingersöll, "Congresa Is no mere good to the basinets of the country than a pocket is in a shroud. We are largely detendent la this country for our prosperity upon the misfortunes of the rest of the world. If Russia and India have a poor crop, we caa sell enough wheat to make ua all rich. The trouble is our cities are tco big. Too many people are living by their wits instead of producing. My plan is to increase the number of that class that bath consumes and produces, and diminish the non-producing class which gathers in the cities. I do not expect, however, to see a speedy end to business depression. With corn in Kansas at eight and ten cents a b tu Lei and wheat lower than at any other time ia twenty years we need look for no good times in the near luture. w. u c." A SINGULAR FACT. A. Presidential Tear WblcU Will Mot E Jap Year. INs'.hTÜle American. J One evening, a ehort time ago, as a reporter cf the American fouad himself with a party of friends, tha conversation turned on the fact that this was leap year. A middleBfed gentleman in the party remarked: "Thank goodness, it is nearly over. ""Why?" inquired the man of the pencil. "Well, to make a long story short, some years epo, in a leap year, a beautiful, welleducated and altogether lovely young lady, asked meto marry her in a jest. I said 'yes,' aa I bad long entertained a secret affection for her. bbe meant every word she eaid, and insisted that we should be married at Christmas. I consented and we were married. A tetter wife man never hI. Put, alas for my future prospects, ahe lived but one short jeer and now sleeps in Mount Olivet. Here is where my aversion to leap year comes in. I am afraid that some dfcigning woman will propose to me in some leap year, and that I will be compelled to scctpt, and, instead of getting a helpmate for life, I will get a vixen who will make my life a hell upon earth." "Then," eaid the scribe, "you have to dread leap year for two reasons. The first yen have stated. The second is on account of the depression to business caused by leap year always being a Presidential year." "There yon are mistaken. Every Presidential year is not a leap year. If I live till the year 1900, as I have good prospects of doing. I will see a Presidential year which is net a leap year, and still a year divisible by fonr." This set the reporter to studying. He could not make out how it was. His infrrrrant left him In toe dark, and be finally ce iibcited the authorities, with the following result, taken fiom Smith's "Illustrated Astronomy:" CÜSJ "It has been found by observation that the earth revolves on iU axis times nearly while it is making one complete revolution around the sun, or while the son mores from either equinox to the same equinox again. Consequently the solar year upon which the seasons depend contains cearly days. It will be seen from this that the difference between a year of Z7) dais and the year as measured by the un amounts to one day in eyery four years; sothat in 120 years of 265 days the seasons would fail back oae whole month, and the reason for May would be in June, etc. In 720 years the longest day would fall back through the twelve months, and would again correspond to their present arrangement. In order to keep the seasons to the tame months, and to make the solar and civil year correspond, one day more is included in February every fourth year. This would always keep the solar and civil years togetner if the earth revolved upon its axis exactly times whiie it is revolving around the sun or daring the solar year; but the earth revolves from equinox to the same again in ZG5 days 5 hours, 48 minutes and 43 seconds, which is 11 minutes 11 seconds leas than 305 i days; consequently in allowing one day in every iour years is allowing 44 minutes, 44 seconds too much, and in 122 year it won id amount to 24 hours, Co rntauts, ti fectd. The mode of reft Taing time by making every faurlh year a i-jap year was

atopted by the Council of Nice In the year of our Lord 325, when the longest day in the year happened June 21, and the vernal equieCx March 21. Tbl mode of reckoning wis continued until 1752, a period of 1127 years, when it waa found that the longest day was on June 10, and the vernal equinox on March 10, the vernal eqninox having fallen back eleven days toward the beginning of the year. To restore the equinoxes to the eame day of the mr.nth In which they hap peced in the year 323, eleven days were ordered by the British Government and the United States, then the British Colonies, to stricken out of tbe month of September, 1752. by railing the 3d the 11th, and it was ordered that hereafter one leaoyearin 132 years, or three leap years in 400 jears.Rhon.lti be omitted that is that the vears 1700, 1800. and 1900, which, by the old style, would have been leap years, should be common years of 3C5 djs. This method gives nineteen en Iran years In evTy 400 years. Thus, 400 multiplied by 3G5, plus nmety-sevea days for the leap years, gives 140.097 days. Thia divided by 400 y art makes U3o5 day?, 5 hours and 49 minutes, making a distance from the true solar year of oaly 23 seconds a year, an error which amounts to only one day in 3, 8CG years. The even centuries are leap years only when cutting off the even cyphers yea can divide the other two figures by fenr without a remainder. Thus 190O is net divkable by four without a remainder, consequently it ia not leap year." General McDonald. Jap Turpen In Tern Sentinel. It falls to the lot of but few men to know tbe varied life that has opened to General McDonald. It might be placed upon the stage, for there are chapters that surpass the thrilling interest attaching to Dumas' immortal creation, "Edmond Dantes." Scan first might show McDonald as a successful man of a Hairs in St. Louis and along the Mississippi Ktver. Scene second, a gallant eoldier in command of the Eighth Missouri regiment, that be had equipped out of his private fortune. Scene third, the favored courtier of the only American President who was ever guilty cf desiring a third term. Scene fourth, a prisoner indicted for and convicted of and guilty knowledge, wearing a zebra suit in tbe penitentiary. Eceae fifth, an author contributing the moat remarkable history in the language to the literature of the period. Scene sixth, as I found him to day.a book accent, differing from ail other book agents on the planet, in that he is pleasant and interesting oae of the mest companionable and entertaining persons in the world. Accordiag to my philosophy oar first im ptessions are usually correct. The great majority of people worthy our love we love at sisht. It was an immediate as well as mutual "raash" that followed the iatroduction of the father of bis country to Martha Curtis. Extensive Inquiry has strengthened me ia the belief ttiat this will hold gord in mcst hsppy marriages. But I rrQ3t restrain my pen that la addicted to speculation ana confine it to the realistic. I knew General McDonald aa Colonel of the Eighth Missouri, as courageous a regiment as fallowed tne fiaga command with which my regiment, the Eleventh Indiana, was chum. He was a splendid officer, respected by his superiors because of his accomplishments, and idolized by his men. 1 heard Geaeral McDoa? aid make a speech during the holidays of 1SU1 at Paducab, Ky., to apopular andiene of citizcDS and soldiers. I remember seeing bim cross the swollen Cumberland ia a feed1 ox lor a canoe, carrying dispatches, when there was no other means of U asportation at hand. It was a risky business, but he v oung and en experienced river man. li.j r..-dt thought wa3 to navigate the tide oa a log, but Hading a trough that had been abandoned by rebel hostlers made the passage with comfort and, as he has always claimed the greatest safety. I remember seeing him under fire at Fort Donelson, and under fire again at Shilob. I liked the looks of the fellow, "the cut of his jib." as an ancient Hibernian friend put it, from the beginning, and caa well understand how President Grant could testify on the witness stand: "1 have known ücDonald intimately for twenty-six years."

A Talk With the Itoya. ICotUga Eearth.1 Lately I met a boy in the street, 'nta.9 or ten years old. A newsboy, perhaps, for he looked very bright and wide awake, and withal bad quite aa air of business about him; and he had also a bit of a cigar In his mouth, which he had probably picked up in the street. It was a sorry Bight to see the boy lips gathered around so filthy a thiag; the boy's breath, which should have been kept so sweet and wholesome, inhaling the nauseous poison. Just t heat geatlemaa harrying past, rudely snatched the pet dainty from the boy's month and hinging it into the Etreet, passed oa without a word of appology. Then I began, despite of disgust of the child's prematurely depraved taste, to feel sorry for the little fellow's disappointment, and I longed to say to him, "Poor boy; yu have doubtless been taught this bad habit by men upon whom you looked as belonging to an order far above yourself. You are only imitating in your humble way, and according to your limited means, the example of your superiors." I have noticed that boys who puff at cigars are apt to emit also from their lips profane and course laaguage. So, my boys, I would haveycu keep your lips and hearts clean from all impurity; and remember that by and by, if God spares you to earth-life, you will be men; and then you may show to the bovs whom you may meet whist it Is tobe men of pure habits and pure hearts. For if tbe boys of to-day are not to become our great and good men of the future, where are we to look for them? Now, my dear boys, what I wantjto say to you is this: "Whenever you Bee a msn.no matter how well dressed or how high his station, doing anything which you would not like your mother to see you doing, do cot try to Imitate him, but shim his examFle. If tempted to put a cigar between your ips, place a flower there instead, if you tan find one; if not, thick of a daijy or a violet-. The very thought of its beauty and sweetness will breathe a richer incense into your belog than the wreathing cloud of the costliest cigar. . An Ohio omee-seexer wrote to Judge Thoznan, of the Civil Service Commission, savins he wanted aa office under the new administration, and as his health was not very good, he wanted something easy that paid very well, and he wasted it ia the dry. Another of Judge Thoman'a correspondents tells him: "It has been said that I am a Democrat, but I want it understood that I have been bora and raised a Republican all my life, with very few exceptions." Snails In a state of captivity can, Dr. Eawitz, of Berlin, has discovered, be fed on paper. Dr. Koasel confirms this fact by a statement based on his own observations. He says that after feeding snails with a highly calcareous paper for some time he found abnormal calcareous deposit3 in their monstrously developed shells.

In England, France and the United States the average wealth per inhabitant is as follows: England, $1,249; France, $1,092; United States, ?931. In France there is more wealth in land for eyery inhabitant .than ia England. The French have also more bullion. The English have more in cattle, houses, railways, movables Jand sundries.

WASHINGTON' LETTEK.

Oar TJaasl Weekly Hadjt From the National CvltaJ-Ooernor KlnkeaJ, Mri. Carlisle, Etc. "Washisgto:, Jan. 9. Among the recent arrivals in Washington is that of Hob, John H. Klnkead, the first Governor of our far-off and little known possessions, Alaska. It is a curious fact that after paying $7,000,000 for Alasxa, after having found it, even as an un organized Territory, bringing an annual in come of a quarter of a million dollars into the Treasury, and after knowing that the people of that section were actually suffering f cr some organized form of government, the authoritels should have been nearly tweaty years ia taking steps to organize the simplest formot civil government there. And it is equally curious that after the law was enacted organizing this Government and providing means for carrying it into operation the Governor of that country should find it necessary to cone here to urge that the work bd done. "You see," eaid Governor Klnkead, as he cat in his comfortable room at Welcker's and stroked his gray beard thoughtfully, 'you see it was a six moatt tank to get a letter here and get action of any Bort It seems strange, don't it? But it is a fact. You see we only have mails once a month from there. Thea it takes a month for a letter to make the trip after it gets started. Then bo little is knowa here aboat the situ ation there that it would be almost impossible to cover the ground in one letter so that it would not be fouad necessary to ask eame further questions, and the result might be that the session of Congress would be past before action could be had. So I thought it best to come and press my recommendations in person. I have not yet had an opportunity to learn the cause of the delay, but it is nevertheless a fact that much of the machinery which the act organizing the District of Alaska authorized and directed has not yet been supplied. Even if all that the act contemplated had been supplied it would GOTEBTIOE KIXKilTJ. bave been quite insufficient to meet the wants of that great and very valuable country. But instead of that we have got as near nothing as may be. There ere, for instance, no land laws, and as to the laws governing tbe Dietrict, orurder which the Government is to be administered, we have no definite information. The organic act directs the Attorney General to forthwith compile and cause to be printed and supplied to us such laws and parts of laws as are applicable to the duties of Governor, Attorney, Jndge Clerk, Marshal and Commissioners, but although those officers were most ot them there, the laws were not presented for their guidance, and we were entirely without them, and even without instructions of any sort. On my arrival there the commander of the caval station, who had been main tainirg a police in Bitka, turned the force over to me, so that I was compelled either to eesune the obligation or else run tbe risk of troubles growing out of dismissal of the entire force. The insufficiency of the present laws is shown by the fact that, although Ounalaska is made a judicial point with a resident Commissioner and Deputy Marshal, there is no authorized or direct communication with that point, and to avail himself of the district court tribunal a prisoner or litigant must go by way of Sin Francisco, dependent for the journey upon occasional and private transportation, and traveling a distance of nearly 4.000 miles, returning in the same manner. That, you will t remember, ia a country of great distances and few accommodations. Why, Ounalaska is 1,200 miles in a direct line from Bitka, and the Fur Seal Islands, which the Governor is directed ioyiait occasionally, as though they were few miles off the coast, are 1,500 miles away, with no means of communication, unless it might be a method similar to that mentioned to reach Ounalaska." "Alaska seems to be a pretty large country, Governor?" "About as large as all the States lying east of the Mississippi River," he laughed. "Yes, it is a much larger country, and a much more important one, than ia generally supposed." "You bave faith in its future, then?" "Yes. great laith. I do not look upon it atr likely to be a place where many people of this country will want to go toliveorto THLISKIT 1HDHI. make Individual fortunes. But it has great promises for organized capital, which caa supply intelligent management and machinery for great enterprises, and employ the native labor for the details of the work. The seal fur business, the hunting and fishing productions, the timber of the richly timbered section, and the mining possibilities, make Alaska an extremely important section of our country." "Are the mines going te attract many individuals thre, as did those of California or Colorado?" "No; at least it is to be hoped they will not. It would result not only m great disappointments but in great sufferings. The situation there ia cot what it was in tbe West twenty or forty years ago. Then a man could take his blankets and accoutrements and toil along, lying down and sleeping comfortably wherever night found him. In Alaska the climate is very severe, either old or wet, and besides, there is altogether different sort of mining tnere. There seems to b. so fir as developed, but little placer mmicf, in which a man may dig up dirt with a pick and wash out gold with a pan. Oa the contrary tbe gold and silver seem to be in qntrtz rock. I recently examined one mine tbere, owned by some California parties, and found a whole mountain, into which the7 had tnaneled a lang distance a whole mountain, mind yon. of eold bearing qnartz. They are cons true ticg for that mine the largest quartz

t Ik 1

mill ever put up, and yet thee witl be enough of this one mountain to keep them running at least tea years, as hard as they can work." "And are there more of these mountains. Governor?" "Apparently. I took a trip among the islands where this one is located, and thorga we could not conveniently land to make any clcte examinations, we could see with our glasses that many of the other mountains were of quartz, and it is reasonable to suppose that they may be of the eame sort, though any miner will tell you that tnere is no certainty of it." "But where is the labor coming from to do all the work needed for developing these mines and timer resources. . The Indians won't work, will they?" "Yes. Seems strange, doesn't it? 7 confees that I, who had been accustomed to the ways cf the Indians of the West generally, was greatly surprised to find those of Alaska

m a J.vw m

XTJSKOVIXITB lirriArT. bo different. They are not only will but anxious to work. It is re illy surprising to see the anxiety they have for employment. And they do not tire oi it as the Indians of the Pacific conutrv generally do. Those to which I have bnn accustomed usually work a few days and then conclude themsevea sufficiently wealthy. Thcweof Alaska, however, want to earn money and learn to live like white men. They want 'Boston clothes' and 'EeBten houses,' and all that sort of thing. You see they have three standards there, that of the natives, which they recognize as rot up to those of the whites; that of which they call the King George mea, and that of the Boston men. By the King George men they mean the English whom they used to know during the times of the Hudasa Bay Fur Company; by the Boston men they mean the Americans who have visited there and from whom in the past fifteen years they bave gained a cood deal of valuable information, besides some that is the reverse." "Have they improved ander the influences of civilization, thenf 4,Yes. The way ia which they take to the methods of civilized life is quite gratifying. They wear, those who can aliord to, as good clothes as the average white man, the bast that they can buy, live in as good houses as they can afford, have carpets on their floors and good furniture in their houses so far as they may. Boston journalism applies to tbe southern portion ot the country where civilizing influences have reached then. The very great proportion of the country is with little evidences of civilization as yet- and one of it, probably, always remain so." How long a trip-is it to get there T "It usually occupies three weeks from Baa Francisco, as tbe steamers stop at a great many little points along the coast." "Did you find tbe trip a pleasant one?" "Very. It is one, too, that a great many people are going to take in tbe coming summers. It would be Impossible to find a more agreeable one. The sights aad experiences are wonderful. An English gentleman and wife, who have traveled all over the world, vifited there last summer and assured me that they had never, ia their entire experience, found nothing to equal it." The Governor is very earnest in recommending improved facilities foithe whites there, and the spread of civilization and intelligence among the natives, who, he says, are anxious for an education as well as "Boston man's clothes and houses." It is a rather singular and quite fortunate circumstance that the report of Ivan Petroff, the Bpecial agent of the Cezszt isureaa, who VIS, CABUSLfi made a pretty thorough Ist ud 7 of Alaska, should have been published just at this time. Tbe eigth volume of the census report, which is just being distributed, contains his report ia full. He divides Alaska into six geographical divisions, as follows: 1. The Arctic division. In this he includes all of the extreme north of Alaska above the section drained by the Yukon Biver; or, ia other words, nearly all ot Alaska that lies north of the Arctio Circle. This section is about the size of the States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois combined, and embraces all the section whose streams run to the Arctic Ocean. In this region of almost eternal ice and snows live about 3.000 Esquimaux, who are growing less tn number and power in tbe scale' of humanity each year from tbe effect of the visits of unprincipled traders, who barter them spirits for the whalebone, furs, walrus ivory and other articles of this sort, until their sole ambition is to obtain rum and indulge in debaucheries which are rapidly decimating their numbers. The interior of this vadt section is little Inhabited, save by moose, reindeer, foxes and polar bears. 2. The Yukon division. This embraces the country drained by tbe Yukon River, which he describes as the greatest river in North America. Tha division lies next south of the Arctic division. It is inhabited by a race of Indiana in the eastern seotion known as the Athabaakans, and by a different race, of the Esquimaux variety, in the western, or const section. These races do not intermingle, and none of the one class ventures into the country occupied by the other, except accompanied by whites. The river is navigated by aa occasional steamer with goods which are traded to the natives for the furs which they gather, amounting to about $75,000 per year. They are bought by two California companies. The country, which along the river is well wooded, seems to be comparatively bare, swampy and valueless in the interior. The river swarms with salmon at certain periods of the year, at which time the native population swarm upon tbe shores, taking enough to last them as fcod for the yeer, buying some Hour, tea and sugar from the traders. This section is as large as the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. The population is about 7,000, among the number being some twenty-five whites. 3. The Kuskovim division. This lies next south of the Ynkon, and ia the valley of another river, similar in its geaeral features and class of population to the one just described. It is about the size of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and has about 9,00) population, the number of whites being less than in the Yukon. 4. The Aleutian division. This comprises

tbe long row of Islands stretching oat to tbe southwest from the mainland. The pop here are ot Eskimo origin, and support themselves by hunting the sea otter, tue fur of which is very valuable. In some of tbe islands the hunters make as much as $1,000 pr year each. They spend their money freely for clothing, dressing in the latest fashion of "Boston clothing" when not at work, supporting churches and a few schools. They are quite extravagant in their expenditures in many cases On the whole however their condition ia so much better than these mentioned above as to appear quite comfortable. They are much attached to tbeir mode of life. Some of these islands have volcanoes in constant state of activity. The population of this division is about 2,500. its area about that of Maryland aad Delaware. 5. Jhe Kadiak d'yision. This comprises the eectioa from the poiat where the line of islands besinn, down the southern coast to the little neck cf Alaska laud which stretches along the west coast of British America. It is about the size ot Ohio and Indiana, has moderately mild climate ao that potatoes ai d turnips are cultivated. The natives, known as "Thlinkitj" or more commonly as Koloshes, are, with those of the Southeastern division still further south, the best cl&es of Alaskan pepulatioa. They have churches, established by the Russians long ago, and some degree of civilization, fairly comfortable houses and some ambition to live in "Boston men style." The population fa 4.5C0, aad supports itself by hunting, a little fishing and hunting of sea otter, and a veiy little agriculture. The Southeastern division. This h tha narrow neck of Alaska running down the west coast of British America, which was annexed to Alaska through the exertions of Baranof, about the beginning of the present century. It partakes of the character of the west coast of British America. It is densely wooded, mountainous, with mild climate, the thermometer seldom falling below zsro, but with a great deal of "falling weather," rain and in summer and snow in winter. The mining possibilities, as to gold and silver and copper are very great hire, and but for the difficulty of obtaining enough sunny weather to cure hay the prospects for steck raising would, it is said, be excellent. The area is about one-half, that 0i Illinois, and the population about, 8,000, including 300 whites. The native population is mostly of tbe "Thlinkit" or Kolosa race, and, as shown by the Governor's remarks above, are quick to learn the ways of civilization aad anxious to accept them. It is in this section that tbe town of Eitka, the Beat ot government of that vast country, is situated. Tbe ''Castle," which is the present executive xnacsion, was formerly the residence of the Kassian American Company, rnd was then a well fortified building, with some fifteen or twenty cannon commanding the approaches to the rocky elevation which it occupies. Governor Klakald will remain here some t:me looking after the needs of his domain, and possibly may remain here to meet his wife, who is en route with a Washington lady from Honolulu to this city. The portrait of Mrs, Carlisle, tha wife cf Speaker Carlisle, intended for this correspondence last week, did not "materializa" in time for use on that occasion, but rather than deprive the readers of seeing the face of this lady so highly honored, it ia given this week. Who Killed Cock Kobin Aside from the damaging effects of the "Mulligan letters" and Blaine's unsavory reparation as a stock-jobber, at least a dozen murderous agencies are reputed to have conspired to encompass the political death of the Republican Presidential candidate, to wit: ll Rev. Mr. Ball's slanders against Cleveland, fomented by Blaine and circulated by his managers. 2. The libe" auit against the Indianapolis Sentinel for publishing a truthful history of bis marriage. 3. The letter to William Walter Phelps, wherein he substantially confessed to every material allegation of the Sentinel. 4. His dodging the vote on the prohibitory amendment at the Maine State election, and the puerile reason assigned therefor, in an extraordinary speech to his neighbors. 5. The mnexpected strength of the SU John movement. 6. The wide-spread revolt of the mugwumps. 7. The retaliatory bolting of the "Folger avengers" in New York State. 8. The "hot blast et Conkling's silence" in response to Blaine's "turkey-gobbler speech. 9. The bomb-shell launched into the Blaine camp by Mrs. Morrill. 10. The "feast of millionaires" at Delmonico's, end the raising of an enormous corruption fund for the purchase of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. 11. Dr. Eurchard'a telling alliterative utterance of " Bum. Eomanism an d lie bellion." 12. Last though, not least, a lack of the requisite number cf votes. These are the conspirators that killed cock-robin.

Professor Huxley lends scant countenance to what has been called by our English brethren the "mackerel scare." In a letter he says: "It Is quite true that mackerel, like other fish, are more or less infected by arasites, one of which, a small thread-worm, s often bo abundant as to be conspicuous when the fish is opened. But it ia not true that there is any reason to believe that this thread-worm would be injurious to a man even if swallowed uncooked and alive, and to speak of it as a possible source of caolera ia sheer nonsense." Woman's Suffering and Kelief. Those languid, tiresome sensations, causing you to feel scarcely able to be on your feet; that constant drain that is taking from your system all its former elasticity, driving the bloom from your cheeks; that continual strain upon your vital forces, rendering you irritable and fretful, can easily be removed by the use of that marvelous remedy, Hop Bitters.

Protracted Lltigationa Over Beal Ettate What an Old Truik Keveled. A dispatch dated Williamsport, Pa., December 80, says: Many persons here and in Washington, D. C, remember Dr. William Cammack, who for nearly thirty years before his death was contesting his right to )rce property intereets in Philadelphia and other cities in the 6tat. Dr. Cammack came to this place in 18G7. He died in 18S1. leaving a vower of attorney to Mr. John Bloon, a resident of this city, requesting that f.e continue the fight as loag as theie was the remotest chance of recovering tbe property. Tbe Btcry of the claim is aj follows: In 1840 an Englishman named Thonras Hill, who was the owner of 123 acres of land in West Philadelphia, 377 acre at Middletown, Dauphin Couuty, Pennsylvania, and 500 acres cf valuable bottom land along the Delaware Kiver, died intestate. The heirs-at-law were then livicg in England. In 1841 Dr. Cammack visited England and became acquainted with the heirs. Not being familiar with this country, acd bavirg no desire to come here, the heirs made arrangements with Dr. Cammack to settle up the estate, giving bim full power of attorney, and at the eame time lepaliy signing over to him oae-balf interest in tbe estate as his etare for settling it up. Dr. Cammack immediately came to America and began operations at once- to recover the property. He employed counsel, aad after the necessary delay eccaaioned thereby, and at a time when the property was almost witain his grasp, his lawyeis abandoned tbe cae. The Doctor afterward claimed that his counsel was bought off by those having p?s9t?ssioa at that time. Not iu the Wast daunted, however, tbe C2ht was continued, and although a wealthy man at that time, the Doctor died very poor, having spent his entire fortune in trjing to get possession of the prooerty. For the past three years Mr. John Blooo, who acts with power of attorney for Mrs. Cammack (the Doctor's widow), has continned the fight with considerable encce, the only difficulty being during the pat year to obtain the deeds of the property. A short time ego Mrs. Cammack was looking through the contents of an old trunk belonging to tbe Doctor when ehe discovered tbe deeds. They were immediately seat to Philadelphia to her counsel, who wrote her last week, stating that the property, which is estimated to be worth $15,000,000, could now be discovered without difficulty. It is claimed by Mr?. Cammack that Judge Kelley and Judge Peters, of Philadelphia, have been for yean, and are now living on her property. She also says ttat most of the property has been built upon, but thut all of the buildings were erected on leased grounds, as neither Jndge Kelley nor Judge Peters can give a till e. The case ia to be' pushed i tamed iate ly. Dr. Cammack had seven children by his first wife, four of whom are now liviag in Washington, D. C. A hundred and fifty millions of tons of matter in solution, in addition to suspended matter, are poured down into the Gulf of Mexico by the Mississippi. If this quantity is added to that known to be carried down in EusperjBion, it will reduce from 6 000 years to 4.500 years the time necessary to lower the entire basin one foot. Similar calculations have been applied to tbe La Plata, St. Lawrence and Amazons by Mr. T. M. Reade.who thus finds that ICO tons pe square mile are annually removed from the American contineDt. This agrees with results previously arrived at for Europe. Prickly Ash Bitters is an unfailing specific for all complaints arising from a derangement of the functions of the liver. It purifies the blood and infuses new life into the invalid. Pains ia the Bide, general uneasiness, loss of appetite, headache, bilious attacks, etc., are sure indications tat a corrective is needed. Prickly Ash Bitters is especially adapted for these complaints. It arouses a torpid liver to action and restores it to a healthy condition. THIS 13 THE GENUINE!!
