Address INDIANAPOLIS Indianapolis, Ind. "No sail from day to day." It is only forty-three dajs until ilarcb. 3. Senator Ridiledekger continues to make himself felt in the United States Senate. The seventy-five Democrats of the General Assembly continue to win praise for their Solidity. Laboe could not bare a better friend or a more valiant defender than Jad-e Tarpie Would prove in the United State Senate. The frantic eSort of the Journal to induce the Republican legislators to do a dishonorable thing by breaking the agreement will sot succeed. The Republican papers of oiher cities are grievQusly disappointed that the Democrats of the Indiana Legislature have succeeded in bringing order cut of chaos. Republicau schemes to get upon the records of the Legislature blackguard references to Democrats from irresponsible parties aie very properly suppressed. The right of petition is not involved at alL The Republicans have now resorted to all manner of lying in order to smirch the reputation of the Democratic caucus nominee lor Senator. It is just what every Democrat must ednre when leading the'jartr, but the consolation lies in the fact that the RepubIcan managers usually signalize their de feat by opening their mud batteries. The parents of Misj Van Zandt have determined to put th ocean between her aniSpies. TTiatever msy be sa:d of the sentiment that inspired the young lady to marry the doomed Anarchist in the very sbadoT of the gallo w?, it is e'ear that Spies misjed his opportunity. If he had wanted to make a show of heroism and walen a manifestation of public sympathy he should have sternly re fused his wonld-be bride's supplications. This would have been truly dramatic. Tn: death of the wife of Seaatjr Voorhee3 will bring to the sorrowing family th sympathy of the whole people of Indiana It 83 not known until yesterday that she was dangerously ill. She had en deared herself to a very large circle cf personal friends in this and other States by the engaging attributes of noble womanhood, and there will be none arnorz those who knew her who will not mourn her death as the passing away of one whose lovely character won the respect and aüeciicn of all with whom she was brought Into contact. Fro the beginning of the controversy until yesterday the position of the Republicans had been one of absolute i-npregaability. Their policy of "masterly inactivity" was apparently so skillfully managed as to challenge the confidence of the people, and won for them golden opinions from the pres all over the land. New Castle Courier (Republican). That was a very refreshing bit of "masterly inactivity" that led to the villainous unseating of Representative ileagher. "We move to mend by dubbing it rascally activity. StSATOR Bailey has introduced t bill giving Justices of the Peace and Constables, in townships having a population of more than 20,000, annual salaries, and requiring them to turn Into .the county treasury all ces, costs, etc., which they may collect. It is the purpose of the bill to put an end o the robbery and blackmail which too often characterize the operation of officers connected with thesa petty courts in the larger cities. The bill is In the line of justice if not to the liking of the Justices.

AFRAID OF BEN BU'i'.iR. Uow ;raiit aud Halleck Arrange.' K!d cf Ulm. f Washington Special !o the Globe-Democrat Two very interesting letters were lound in the manuscript files of tte War Department to-day. Tley are by Grant and lUlleck and re lute to Gen eial Benjamin F. Butler. Miasourians will learn lor the first time Irom this correspondence how narrcwly they escaped being given Into the hands of General Butler daring the war. The file of the department have not given up anything more in teresting than these letters for a long time. The copies, aa made from the originals for the GlobeDemocrat, are as fellows: CRAM TO HALLECK. HEAIxCAHTEKS ARMIKSOKTHS UNITS STATES, ) City FoitiT, Va., July J, 1$L ( Major-Cencral II. W. Hallcck, Chief of Staff of the Army: General Mr. Dana, Assistant Secretary of War, has just returned. He iL forms me that he called attention to the necessity of sending General Eutler to another field of duty. Whilst I hare no difficulty with General Butler, finding him always clear in his conception of orders and prompt to obey, jet there Is a want of knowledge how to exe(Ute, andrartlcularlya prejudice apalnst him as com-jj ander, that operates a?,iut his useful ness. I have feard that it might become neces.ary to teparata him and General Smith. The latter Is really one of the most e (licit t officers in tte sex rice, readiest In expedients and most skillful In the management of troops in action. I should dislike removing him from his present command, unless It was to increase it, but, as I say, may hare it to do yet it General Butler remains. As an administrative officer Butler has no superior in taking charge of a department where there are no great battles to be tought, but a dissatisfied element to be con trolled. No one could manage It better than he If a command could be cut out such as Mr. Dana propoFed, namely, Kentucky, Illinois and Iowa, or if the Department of tho Missouri, Kansas and the States of Illinois and Iowa could be merged toKether and General Butler put over lt. I think the good of the service would be ubseived. I regret the necessity of asking for a change In command ers here, but General Butler, not being a soldier by education or experience, is in the hands of his subordiLatcs in the execution of all operations military. I wculd feel strengthened with Smith, Franklin or J. J. Reynolds commanding the right wing ol this army. At the same time, as I have bee ttated. General Butler has alwayj been prompt in his obedience to orders from uie, and clear in his understanding of them. I would not, therefore, be willing to recommend his re tirement. I send this by mail for consideration, but will telegraph If I think it absolutely neces sary to make a change. I am, Genera1, very respect fully, your obedient servant, U. S. Grant, Lieutenant-General. ItALLECK'S REPLY. To the above letter from General Grant, General Hallcck replied as follows: IlEADOr ARTERS OF THE APVlT, ) Washington, July 3, 164. f Lieutenact-Geaeral U.S. Grant, City Point, Va.: G k. era l Your note of the 1st Insf., in relation to General Butler, is just received. I will, as you propose, await runner advices irom you Leiore i submit the matter cilicially to the Secretary ot War and the President, It was foreseen from the first that you would eventually find it necessary t relicre General Butler, on account of his total unfitness to command in the field and bis generally quarrelsome character. What shall be done with him has. therefore, already been, as I am Informed, a mat ter of consultation. To send hin to Kentucky would probably cause an insurrection in that State, snd an immediate call for large re-enforce ments. Moreover, tc would probably greatly embarrass Siierman, if he did not attempt to supersede him by using against him all his talent a' political intrigue and his facilities for newspaper abu?e. II you tend Mm to Missouri, nearly the same thinp will occur there. Although it might not be objectionable to have a liee fight between him and Kosecrcns, the Government will be seriously embarrassed by the local difT.cuLies and calls for re enrorcemcnU likely to to1. low. Inveterate as Is Bosecrans habit of continually calling for more troops, Duller differJ ouly In demanding instead of calling. As things now stand in the West, I thick we can keep the peace; but If Butler be thrown in as a disturbing element. I anticipate very serious results. Why cot leave General Butler in the local command of his department, Including North Carolina, Norfolk, Fort Mou .oe. Yoiktown, etc, and make a new army corps of the patof the Kighteenth undir Smith? This would leave Hutler under your immediate control, and at the tarce time would relieve you of his presence In the field. Morcover.it would save the necessity of organizing a new department. If be must be relieved entirely, I think it would be best to make a new department for him in New England. I make thoo remarks merely as suggestions. Whatever you may finally detei mine tn I will try to have done. As General Butler claims te rank me, I shall give him no orders wherever he may go, without tte fpecial direction of yourself or the Secretary of War, Your, truly, U. W. Halle- k, A Good Joke. Richmond Independent.! There are many good jokes during a twelvemonth, but the best joke of the season by aids Is the posing of Senator Harrison as a laboring man and a champion of the labor interests. It is as natural to look for I'cgue's Run to turn about the first thaw and run the other way, or for the Republican members of the General Assembly to charge their leprous spots and become honest and conscientious, as It would be for Ben Harrison to turn his sympathies In the workinsmau's chan cel. Bis path through life has led in the opposite direction from the one trodden by the honest toiler; he bat never even been close enough to the laboring man to get an atom of dint from the furrow, the anvil or the work-bench on hlsglit tcrln? broadcloth. He has not a thought, In spi ration or emotion that is in sympathy with the man who toils. Thus the effort of the Senator to gain the sympathy of that class and tobe ac corded the position of a friend to labor becomes mot supremely ridiculous. Senator Harrison could as well claim the sym palby cf the Irish because be was born In Ireland, or the German nationality because he la a Hol lender, or the Scotch aa being a native throb from the heart of Midlothian. It would be hard to End a man leu in sympathy with labor than Ben narrison. hence the supremely ridicu lous position he occupies la pretcntlng him self as worthy of the support and confidence of the labor Interests. S-,rnir: narrison should at least state when ho kbcrtd sad, if at all. where and how much. II he hns ever been consistently the champion, and not in the sense of a demagogue, he should point to that with an emblazoned index in order that it may be seen. Ben Harrieon as a labor champion is at this writing the best joke of the icason. Tite recreant Democratic members of the New Jersey Legislature did not dare to retcrn to their homes after the adjournment last week. They trembled lest their Indignant and betrayed constituents should meet them at the border of the county and punhbh them for their crime.

SUQAR AND TOBACCO.

Expressions From Indian Cngrreamn as to Taxing- Them. National Republican InterTiews.1 Mr. Owen, of Indiana- "I aja emphatically in favor of free sugar, with a bounty to the coniamer for a term ot years; having fostered the industry by yean ot; protection, although the planter has failed to take advantage ot the proteUve tariff, yet I (eel it would be an I r. justice to throw him open to the full force ol competition without due warning. We need to reduce the surplus rcrenue; la tho whole category ot protected articles there is sol one where protection hat yielded sa lev bencflclal resultto the Industry, and where the taking oft ot the duty would bring such relief to the people." Mr. Holman, of Indiana: "Under some conditions I favor the abolition of the tax ou tobacco if -vmcected with a reform of tariff taxation. I ana in avor of abolishing the duty on sugar, but wllf be content with a redaction of one-ball if it Involved placing lumber and salt on tho free list. I think the tobacco tax Is entirely different from any other feature of our taxation; it is the only Internal revenue tax on a product of the land. The tax aiTects Injuriously the producer; it is in some decree beneficial to the larger manutacturer. I do not think such a tax should be perpetuated unless absolutely necessary, and the necessity does not now exist. I will favor any reasonable measure that will tend to reduce the surplus in the Treasuy." Mr. Howard, of Indiana: "I am now engaged In studying the revenue and tariff questions as far as they affect tobacco and sugar, and will express my views at some future time.' Mr. Low ry, of Indiana: "I am opposed to removing the internal revenue tax on tobacco, tor the reason that the reduction 6hould be on necessaries first. A reduction of internal revenue taxes would b3 urged as sufficient reason for no farther reduction on tariff duties. I favor a reduction on sugar. I think it would be desirable." Some Very Kind Word, To the Editor of the Sentinel: We see in the Indianapolis News an article taken from the Chicago Inter Ocean, headed "Society will runifcb. the Sentinel," in which article Is contained the statement that "the Sentinel is aiding toward a rousing Republican victory In 1SSS." Ah ! "the with Is lather to the thought" The fact Is that the able and aggressive manner In which the Sent;nel Is conducted is commanding the attention and approbation of Democrats throughout the State. The Journal and little News are kept b uy in defending their party and in making explanations for its past and present conduct. The sledgehammer blows dealt the g. o. p, during the last few weeks have knocked the News and Journal entirely out ot line, and, In their extremity, the iLter Ocean slips up and takes a clip at the Scann, h whereupon the little News encouragingly pats Hie Inter Ocean upon the back in commendation Of its bravery. We would ask of the later Ocean, what Is the great and heinous crime that the Stntinel has committed against American newtpaperdom and American society? Can it be that this paper of Chicago has such a faint idea of the true field of journalism that it weuld criticise our Indiana paper for standing! steadfast for the Interests of it constituents? Nay. May the gods forefend any weakness of that kind. Wculd that the News had dealt as fairly with the questions of state that have been brought before the Lexts'.ature at the Sentinel. Its prolific influence will be felt in 1853 by achieving one of the grandest victories for Democracy ever known to them as a party. Republicans throughout the entire State are disgusted by the silly proceedings of their party leaders, and will no longer be subected to a party which tries to gain ascendency through fraud and illegtUity. Let the Inter Ocean rest assured that the course of the Sentinel meets the hearty confirmation of the thinkers oi both polit'cal paitics. The Democrats of Indiana will stand by aud give the Sentinel the honest support it 60 richly merits and deserves. The Democracy of Indiana know and appreciate the fact that the Sentinel has in the opposition a wily and unscru pulous foe, whose record and deeds of the past make it necessary tobe alert andaggTesiva in the defense of its principles. In conclusion, we have only to suggest that you ' keep your goosexiuill a-floppluV' for it Is evident that every time you strike a howl goes up, indicating that some one bas been hurt. Jrorc v. Rochester, Ind. Hoc. S. S. Cox. I Washington Spocial, tGth. Hon. S. S. Cox is In a more critic! condition than his friends are willing to admit to th9 public. He had another hemorrhage tc-day, ao.d is constantly attended by three physicians, and there Is much uneasiness lelt by his friends who know how very sick he Is. Mr. Cox is no longer young, and he has never taken the best of care of himself. He had hemorrhages in Constantinople, Paris, and one here before that of to day. Sunset Cox was fix I y two last September. A few days o he stepied as lightly and teemed as full of life and energy as a young man, and he has not become very Rrsy. On the whole, one would not suppose that be was much above fifty. He has served In Congress more years than any other member of the House, and there are very few men In the en tire history of the country whose legislative services have extended over so long a period. He is a native of Ohio, and represented Columbus in the House In the Thirty-fifth, Thirty sixth Thirty seventh and Thirty-eighth Congresses, and then moved to New York, and after an In terval of four years re-entered Congress, and has been in the House continuously during the past nine Corgresses, except a part of the Forty-third and a part of the Forty-ninth. In the latter in terval he spent a little more than a year as Min ister to Turkey. In anticipation that he would be Minister to Turkey Congress two years ago raised the salary of that office from 97,500 to $10, fCO a year. Mr. Cox has been elected to Congress from two States fourteen times. "Wact to Hog Everything In Sight." Washington Democrat Letter.l There was much indlgnatlou manifested among the Republicans of the southern part of the State over the defeat of Judgre Gardiner. One member of the House, a warm friend of Gardiner, ex pressed his feelings in rather strong terms the night alter the caucus. Said he: "It's a d d outrage that the Republicans of the northern part of the State want to hog everything in sight. Tie caucus was run In the interests of a blanked little ring of pot house politicians here at Indianapolis, who used Schrecdtr to defeat Gardiner. Schreeder had no earth'y claim to anything. He doesn't amount to a hill ot beans himself, and he runs a little ote-horfe newspaper down In Dubois County where the Repub leans never bad a shew and never will. He bad no strength, but he became a ttol that split up Gardiner's strength. They didn't even give us a chance to choose our man for Door-keeper, but forced Schreeder upon u. be causethey knew they could Influence him to ap, point Patterson and a lot of other Indianapolis toughs to tho positions under the Door-keepjr It's an outrage on Southern Indiana Republicans, and the smart Alecks who engineered It will find out in time what a tbeol ot a big mistake they have made." A Dig Estate. An estate in New York valued at 160.000,000 finds one of the heirs In this city, writes a San dusky, Ohio, corrc?pondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Amaziah and Mary Williams have re side in this city for more than forty years, and are known all through this section. He is eighty five and she Is eighty-four years of nge. They came from New York State here, where both were born and raised. For more than thirty years they have lived on Columbus avenue, the second door south of Sts. Teter and Taul's Church. One daughter still lives, Mrs. Clemens. For more than sixty years Mrs. Williams has known of thtibove mentioned estate, many times having heard parents and grandparents (peak of It It Is known m the Covert estate, the laud having been leased ninety-nine years ago by Eilsha Covert. Covert had one daughter, who married, but died

childless. This lelt the estate without direct heir?, In which event Covert's brothers and sistern, if he bad any, would become his heirs. He bad four sisters, one of whom married a Horton, and was the grandmother of Mrs. Williams. For some time past various relatives of Mrs. William have written her concerning this estate, knowing that she was the oldest living heir, and hence would probably know considerable about it. Recently. Mrs. Williams received a letter sUt'.ng that she was a rich woman, as the lease had expired, and the heirs were being advertised for. Steps were Immediately taken to furthtr investigate the matter. Mr. John Cherry, a grandsen by marriage, wrote to the Surrogate of New York County, while Mr. L T. Curran was retained aa legal adviser. No time bas been lost nor pains spared ia expediting matters. The estate U valued at GO.COO.OO), tlO.CtO.OCv of which will fall to the heirs of Mrs. WLllama' grandmother. Out of the 110:0,0:0 Mrs. Williams will receive from SJ00.0C0 to 1100,000. This morning Mr. Cherry received a letter from the Surrogate of New York County which, stated that the Covert eitatc was located in that part of the city known as Harlem Flats.

Tllden's Live Chattels Sold. New York Special JJaDy distinguished men were conspicuous In the big crowd that attended the executor's sale of horse?, cattle, poultry, carriages, sleighs and equipments belonging to the estate of the late Samuel J. Tilden. Among those present in the gt lie ry looking down upon the sale were Mr. Tilden's nieces Mrs. Shaw and Susan and Ruby Tilden. In the throng of men on the ground floor stood Colonel S. K. TUdcn, Colond K.'ng, of Minnesota; Dr. Simmons, Mr. Tilden's family physician ; Colonel A. M. Martin, Judge J. L. Smith, T. A. Havemeycr, R. Lamontagne,and other good judges of horses, cattle andj poultry. CIoec under the auctioneer's rTesk stood a man Mho showed deep interest In the Bale. The man ws Edward KLey, coachman. He drove Mr. Tilden's family coach for thirty years. Only three horses belonging to the estate were sold, four remaining In the stables at Greystone. The cattle dispo.sed of consisted of twenty head of registered Jerseys, mainly bred by Mr. Tilden. The sheep are finely-bred Shropshires, and the poultry included thoroughbred bronze turkeys, Toulouse geese. Rouen ducks, Andalusian and mixed breeds of fowls. Everything, Including carriages, sleighs, harness, robes, and general trappings, brought good prices. Bidding was brisk, nearly everybody present being Intent on sect-ring a memento ot the statesman. A Happy Family. Indianapolis Dispatch to Chicago Times. The demoralization which set In among the Re publicans when Judge Ayrea enjoined Colonel Robertson from presiding over the joint conven tion, and which led to an inglorious surrender, is now complete. The action of the Republican Senators and Representatives who engineered the so-called compromise has thrown the stal wart wing of the party into a perfect fury, and tte denunciations of the "cowardice," treachery," "pusillanimity," etc.,oC the gentle men in question were both loud and deep. John C. New, head boss ot the Republican machine in Indiana, Is swearing mad over the matter, and his paper, the Journal, the chief Republican organ of the State, bristled all over this morning with savage onslaughts upon the weak-kneed partisans who, when the crisis came, abandoned Colonel Robinson, "betrayed" Ben narrison, and fairly tumbled ever eaeli other in their efforts to make terms with the enemy. Harrison's disgust knows no bounds. Eighteen YouDg Pytbons. New Yoik Special. I Ear'y Sunday evening or Monday morning the exact time is not known a large South Atne ican python, belonging to the collection of snakes on exhibition, gave birth to eighteen youngpythons. Cases are rare where a python or any other snake has brought forth its young while In cap tivity. Pythons usually, according to standard works on natural history, lay their eggs and Incubate them for about two months, at the end ot which time the young are hatched, and remain under the protection of the mother for two or three weeks, after which they are left to themselves. In Incubating, the mother gathers the eggs Into a conical heap, round which she coils herself, entirely covering them, so that her head rests in the center, on the top of the cone. Rare cases have been known of a pjthon bringing its youth tc maturity In its body, and sucn sceme to have been the case In the present instance. Let Well Enough Alone. New York8un.l Mr. Hermann, of Oregon, bas introduced into thellouseot Representatives a bill proposing a constitutional amendment providing for the election of United States Senators by the people. Such a proposition is often heedlessly made. It is not wite, nor do we believe that many persons of Intelligence favor it. The Intent of the makers of the Constitution was that Senators should represent the States. If Senators were elected by a popular vot, small States like Vermont, Rhode Island and Delaware would be abolished. The Constitution provides thai Senators shall be elected in one way and members of the House ol Representatives in another. What good reason Ls there for a change ? The safe rule Is: Don't tinker the Constitution any more than can be helped. David Turpie. TPlymouth DemocratThe nomination by the Democratic members ot the Legislature of Hon. David Turpie as the Democratic candidate for United States Senator meets with entire satisfaction in this part of the SUte, where he made so many gallant races for Conrrress sgaimtScbujler Colfax, in a district hopelessly Republican. Mr. Turpie is not what might be called a politician. He is not an "electlonecrer." He is not one of "the boys," and doesn't mix with the rabble and the ward bummer. He Is every Inch a Democrat, after the Andrew Jackson style. He believes in the principles of the Democratic party, and that Democrats only should be selected to manage its concerns, nis election would give Indiana one of the best Senators It ever bad, and we sincerely hope he may be successful. Where Jeff Davis Was Captured. Hawkinsvtlle, Ga., Special 1 Some time ago Captain John H. Martin and other citizens visited the spot near Irwinyllle on which Jeff Davis was captured. The three trees under which the refugee rested have been burned to stumps by a stroke of lightning. Captain Mar tin cut a eane from the spot, had it mounted and sent it to Mr. Davis. He has just received an at knowledgmeLt.whk h, among other thlngs.says: "The cane jon sent me is doubly valuable by Its association and the care you took to select it. Though connected with a sad misadventure, w hieb has been the theme of many scandalous falsehoods, I can not remember it as other than crowning misfortune without shame." Captain Martin will have the letter framed as a memento, The republican Howl. iGreensburg Era! The Republicans make a great howl about the discourtesy of a Democratic Door-keeper refusing Senator Harrison ad marlon to the Senate. This action of the Dcor-kecper was not known to the Speaker or the members for some time after Its occurrence. When attention was callod to It the rrcsident of the Senate expressed regret, and itatcd that at all times Senator Harrison would bo entitled to admUbion. On the other hand, no more flagrant Insult was ever offered a chie.' ex ecu Jve than the refusal of the Honse to hear Goverusr G ray's mesf age read. GF.si.r AL Eoclajjger's attempt to Introduce the full beard Into the French army has not been sue ctssful. At a recent banquet ouly two young Generals appeared, like Boulanger, with full beards. The mustache and Imperial or mustache alone ls still the only adornment worn by tha French soldier.

Coi or a no f peaks in no uncertain tone for Blaine In 1S. says the Denver Tribune. As Colorado has just elected a Democratic Governor, and barely succeeded in saving a Republican Congressman, we can not congratulate Mr. Blaine on the certainty of its tone. Kansas City Times. Wiirs the Democratic national platform was built the internal revenue taxes were recognized as a part of the fiscal machinery of the country which it was unwise to disturb. The party pledged fttelf to the policy of devoting this tajc to the payment of pensions. Mr. Randall and his protectionist followers find it convenient to for get the party pledges In their anxiety to maictaia the Iniquitous tariff". In recounting Don Cameron's claims to the Re publican nomination next year Gatn takes in the whole family, and says: 'Something, too, is to be eald In favor of length of domination. Simon Cameron was born In the eighteenth century, and is, therefore, nearly eighty-eight ycaa old. He went tc the United States Senate p.s early as 181', which was forty-two years ago." Rkiex-sstative Crun, the only native-born Texan in the Lone Star State dt legation, was educated in the North. He says: "We don't bull. dore. We don't have to bulldoze, even if we hare the inclination. The majority is too big. Do you know what a party with a big majority is like? Well, It's like a huge, splendid locomotive with a weak brake on it. It's glorious when It gets going, but there's nothing to stop it if there's dan.r ahead." A Washington special says: It ls understood that if the Senate rejects Recorder Matthews, which seems Inevitable, the President will appoint Professor Teter U. Clark, of Cincinnati, a prominent colored man, well known throughout the country among colored people. The Presi dent holds that aa the office was held by a colored man when he appointed Matthews no change shall be made, and that until the end of his term the office shall be held by a colored person whether the Senate confirms or not. The advene report by the Senate District of Columbia Committee on the nomination of Matthews, the colored carpet-bagger whom the President persists in putting Into the office of Re corder of Deeds of the District, reveals the bandwriting on the wall. The Senate will reject him. aa it did before. The people of the District, and the people of the country, through their repre. sentatives In the Senate, have already said they do not want him in that position. It remains to be seen whether the President will disregard this mandate when it is delivered again, as it undoubtedly will be In a few days. St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. Caeeitl sampling of Roman Catholic opinion in New ork City confirms the belict that Henry George's attack upon that church has alienated substantially all his Irish support. Tho Irish Catholic may not talk much about his religion, but be is deeply o (Tended when it is attacked, an I the testing of Romit-h opinion at several points shows that George's article has had just this cf feet. One of George's friends says he hoped to gain more Protestant support, based on opposition to Rome, than he lose?. This Is absurd Protestant hostility to Roman Catholic influence Is no isuie upon which to build up political support. GOSSIP FROM AFAR.

Somf idea of the wonderral progress now being made In microscopical science may be formed by the fact, as stated by the president of the British Association lately, that results are now attained in this line which mathematicians five years ago declired to be impossible. A Lorx)? correFpondent says: I see that some la "y has distinguished beisclf at Mentone by setting her bed-curtains onlflrc. This reminds me of a dellclously-characteristic story which is going the rounds about I-ord Randolph Churchill, nis wife, as yon know, is au American lady, and Lord Randolph went to Queenstown to meet her. The vessel was delayed, and during the Interval, as Lord Randolph was as relentless as the ocean, he distinguished himself the first .night by setting his bedroom on Are. ne can not keep from his

cigarette, and the next day he set his drawingroom on fire. When the second conflagration broke out Lord Randolph sent for the landlord, and calmly remarked that this was a very bad hotel ; last night his bedroom hai been set on fire, and now the drawing-room was In flames; it was perfectly scandalous. The German Emperor now obeys the directions of his physicians more than ever before. For the first time since childhood he has taken to sleeping in a warm room, anl he takes food-generally beef tea, eggs and wine or coffee and isinglass every two hours during the day.

A interesting question has just been solvM which long has perplexed the gosm'peof the German fatherland. Though the pipe is apparcatly the eternal companion of all Germans, there have been distinguished exceptions, of whom Goethe Is the moft remarkable. Another has to be added to the list. An exhibitor of some South African cigars recently tent a box to the Emperor of Germany. The gift was graciously accepted and cordially acknowledged, but the secretary of the Emperor added that, as His Majesty did not smoke himself, he had handed over the cigars ta his grandson the Frlnce William. ON'Eofthe novel features by means of which Germany will defend herself in the "impendins' war is a battalion of trained war dogs, which are now being drilled by a regiment of chasseurs at Lnbbcn.

Not a bad idea this, II only the Tetit Journal would find a means of curing the Instinct of a cat to turn tall at the sight of a dog.
