Ox her way to this country from Europe Mrs. Nellie Grant-Sartoris passed her husband in mid-ocean as he was returning for her. She became alarmed over the telegrams concerning her father’s health, and did not wait, but came alone. The lack of banking capital, which has caused much complaint within the past two years in Missouri, is somewhat relieved by the recent repeal in the law tha' prevented foreign corporations and capitalists from loaning money in the Stato. In the lib'-ary of Rome a document ■has been discovered which confirms the claim of Gutenberg to the invention of printing. It is a letter written by the prior of Sorbonrie, in 1470, noting the introduction of the art in Paris by three pupils of Gutenberg. 1 - t The French Government has decided to continue sending convicts to New Caledonia,, notwithstanding the partial promise &ade to Lord Granville that the penal settlement should be removed to some other island more distant from the British possessions. The apathy in Boston upon reception of the new date of the end of the world (May 19) recalls the reply of Theodore Parker when informed hy a Miller'te of the pending destruction of our planet: “That does not concern me,” said Parker, “for I live in Boston.” Norman J.

Friends of Tom Ballard, the notorious counterfeiter. are trying to obtain a pardon for him from President Cleveland. Ballard is the only man who has ever succeeded in counterfeiting tho fiber paper, and it ■ i- largely on this account that he wa utenced to thirty years at hard labor.

James and Harry Gaifield, sons of the martyred President, called at the White House last week and had a pleasant interview with Mr. Cleveland and his sister' A Cleveland dispatch denies the report that Mrs. Garfield is to be married to Rev. Taylor or any other gentleman. The whole story is denounced as a canard. * . < There are eleven structures in the world whose height ranges from 307 to 555 feet. Os these eleven Washington monument is the highest and the Capitol the lowest. Mr. Thompson Stevens, who went from San Francisco to Boston on a bicycle last Summer, leaves the latter place .on the 9th to cross the Atlantic to com. plete a tour of the world on the wheel. Professor Armeutis Vamberg, a distinguished traveler, says that war between England and Russia is inevitable notwithstanding the hope of peace that was looked for through the Boundary commission. The callers at the White House are falling off in number. This is owing to the fact that office seekers are beginning to find out that but little can be accomplished by frequent calls at the executive mansion. e Vice President Hendricks failed to j vacate his seat in order to chose a vice pro tcm. This items to have been intentional on Mr. Hendrick’s part, who acted on the advice of some of his democratic friends. The Nov York World speaks of Joseph E. Johnson as the commander of the Confederate armies who opposed General Sherman's march to the sea. It is the general opinion that Sherman did not know that Johnson was there. President Cleveland appointed Goveinor Hoadly’s private secretary, Sixth Auditor of the United States Treasury, and Governor Hoacily has appointed Dr Pearson, of Toledo, a relative of the President, State Librarian.

The two great powers of England and Russia are so well provided and so fully equipped for deadly warfare that each will hesitate to strike the first blow. Besides, each would find it difficult to convince other nations that it had sufficient excuse for bringing on such strife and its attendant miseries. It seems i strange that in this civilized age the | possession of a few thousand square ; miles of territory should be the cause of j so sanguine a struggle as this war would ' certainly be. Now is the time £or all who have a I grudge against England to attack her by swortl or pen; for no country perhaps ever lmd so many wars at once as England has now on hand, including those which are yet only in the menancing stage. Ist. There is the dreary war in the Soudan, in which Britain is losing men and money to an alarming extent without any recompensing object in view in case of success. 2nd. The threatened war with Russia, which, whether it takes place or not, or whatever may be its issue, is certain to cost the Britain a vast amount of money. 3rd. There is another war with the Boers in South Africa brewing Britain is bound to protect her native allies there from attacks of the Boers, and the latter are determined to occupy their territory and practically enslave the inhabitants as they have done all along. The Transvaal Government agrees to a joint commission to settle the boundary line but when the British commissioners go to the appointed place, the Boer commissioners, like those of Russia in a similar case, are not forthcoming. 4th. There is the chronic war with Irish Fenians and dynamiters ready to burst out whenever there is a chance for open rebellion. sth, and lastly, there is now a half-breed ] and Indian war in the Saskatchewan region, but that war Canada will have to take care of herself.— New York Weekly Witness.

Truly iVlugicaL On inauguration day at tho World's Industrial Exposition, a neatly attired j child, during the bustle, was separated from his mother and lost among the ; crowd of all nations The usual cries of . mamma! mamma! resounded through the building, but were not heard by the bewildered parent. She ran on in the wrong direction in search of her child. The latter hysterically bewailed his loss and was only appeased when a gentleman, who happened to be passing, handed him one of the neat miniature patent corkscrews bearing the inscription, “St. Jacobs Oil Conquers Bain." This pretty present had the magical effect of not only quieting the child.; but restoring him to his anxious mother, who at this ; moment appeared on the scene. “A Pig in the Parlor.” The ’most amtising thing we have heard lately came to us from John : Chapman, who claims to have got his information from Dan Hess. We will take his word for it. A few days since the family of Ed. Kiiiscly were absent I from their house for a few hours. In the meantime, an old sow that they have on the place, got into the yard, and finding the door of the house unlocked, made her way into tho room. The carpet being soft and nice, slu probably thought it was the verdure or the woods, and began rooting it up thinking to get “mass” underneath. Having got through with this job, sin nosed around, and found a pail of fresl butter on a table that was put up b living to town. She soon converted tli butter into lard. Not yet satisfied, si; found the pantry, and here she had regular old harvest dinner. The bread pies, doughnuts, cold meat, jellies, am other substantial, disappeared lik pouring water into a rat. hole! But the coolest and most audacious part of hei conduct was after she got through a; cupboard. She was puffed up and short of breath from her extraordinary meal, and walked to a low bed- that stood in the next room, and climbed upon it, with her haunches buried down into the middle, and her head towards the window, looking leisurely out, when the family returned. The consternation and fright was so great at first, that the old sow got out without any clubbing or stoning, but we have not heard what punishment had been inflicted since the family have invoiced the balance of the provisions that were left. —Goshen Democrat. A Good Breakfast Mrs. E. W. Carpenter, Overlee, Baltimore, county, Maryland, writes: I was greatly benefited by the use of Red Star Cough Cure, when suffering from a severe cold. My cook was seriously ill from a deep-seated cough. She had consulted her doctor without relief. By my advice she used the Cough Cure in connection with an external application of St Jacobs Oil to her side. In one night the change wrought was most gratifying and astonishing.

The prescription clerk promptly clapped the ammonia bottle to his nose and nearly stifled him. On recovering his forces he made a wicked punch at the clerk’s head. “Hold on, remarked that individual, “ wasn't I quick about it, and didn’t I cure your headache?” ‘‘Headache be hanged,” exclaimed the man, “ it's my wife’s got the headache.”— Boston Transcript. —Justice (colored)—When I said dat de man wasn’t straight what did you say?

Oar Exposition Letter. A correspondent could stop on any twenty feet s pmrj? of occupied space in any of these Exposition buildings, and write a letter describing but one exhibit, and still leave much unsaid. When the final judgment is made up concerning this exhibition, it must he confessed that this century has not seen its equal iu grandeur anil excellence, taken as a whole; for while it really falls behind in fancy exhibits, it has had, and in this generation, can have, no superior in the domain of utility. While it is true as said, that this Fair falls behind in fancy and ornamental exhibits, it is also true that it contains enough of even them to gratify any taste. In the exhibit of the “Womans Exchange" is a cashmere shawl valued at $6,000, the gold trimming of which is alone worth $1,500, and its somewhat romantic history adds to its value. Some years ago Mrs. Dorsey of Mississippi, was on a visit to England, where she met a wealthy Rajah of India, who was also on a visit to the same country, with his wife and family. The parlies were thrown together and became warm friends, and on his return home the Indian gentleman sent Mrs. Dorsey the shawl as a present. It is in size 44x2 cards, ami apart from the value of the goods would not ordinarily be regarded as particularly handsome, and the good lady to whom it belongs, having but dttle use for so costly an ornament, has located if to the “Christian Woman's Ixehange" of this city, to lie sold at the •lose of the Fair, the proceeds to go in- ■ their charity fund This Society gives at work to, and in every possible way ■; assisting working girls and women, tad is deserving of a jeweled crown for heir noble work. They keep one of the icst restaurants in the city, on Bourbon street, which is a delightful place for strangers to procure meals, where your .correspondent has occasionally dined, paying cheerfully the cash, and getting the worth of his money, which cannot be said of many restaurants, and this free mention is made as a small tribute to a noble enterprise, and to the good j and noble hearted ladies who manage it without money and without salaries. As an educational force, the value of this Exposition cannot be over estimated the people of the respective states are acquiring more practical knowledge of each other, and of each other's resources than volumes could otherwise impart. Take for instance.* the little hand-book of Nebraska, compiled by Ex-Governor Furnas, Commissioner, for that State, j and study it a few minutes in the.presence of her lofty statue and bulletin boards, and you learn at once of the grand resources and wonderful fertility of that favored land. In 1855 its territory was a wild Indian hunting ground now It is a greal commonwealth with a ! large and rapidly increasing population, enjoying all the social and physical advantages of century old states, with thousands of churches and schools, great and flourishing cities, ami yet left millions of acres of fertile lands, which can bo procured on the easiest terms'by peo- j pie in search of homes, thousands alread- ; y having secured a competence for themselves and children on her genial praries. | In the Exposition, the Nebraska exhibit attracts universal admiration. On her lofty model of the “Bartholdi Statue of Liberty,” built entirely of native grains and grasses, is inscribed her school statistics, nearly 4,000 school-houses, a S6O, 000,000 school fund, while her bulletin boards stun the reader with the immensity of her crop products—making in 1884, neariy 170,000.000 'bushels of corn and about. 50,000,000 bushels of wheat. On the wall of her beautifully furnished lead-quarters, is a great mu lallion bordered with artistically woven grain and .rasses in bloom, and it; the c■•titer a >!ar

VII these splemliil exhibits were, irrangI and put together be Nebraska's own uai'ts and architects under direction of *•' Gov Furnas a resident of the state for thirty years, twice its governor and now Secretary of its Board, of Agriculture, lie is enthusiastically devoted to his adopted state which cannot fail to reap immense advantages from his public spirit and efforts in her behalf. 6 In the New York exhibit is shown a large and magnificent diamond, the property of Miss Minnie Palmer, the actress, and is valued at $40,000. It was found in the diamond fields of South Africa, and after being smuggled into London, where it was sold, a New York city jeweler bought it, brought it to America and had it cut by a lapidary of that place. It is called the “Cleveland Gem,” in honor of a well known gentleman, now occupying a prominent “clerkship” in the Executive Mansion at Washington, and whose services to bis country, all good people trust, will shine as brilliantly as does this sparkling stone. Among fancy articles of less value may be mentioned a soda fountain worth SIO,OOO, a Mexican saddle valued at s9o'), and there was a mountain of silver from Mexico weighing 5640 pounds, valued at $114,000 but it was bought by the government and has probably, before this time, been melted down into bright solid silver dollars, to the disgust of all Wall street gamblers, whose dainty fingers refuse to touch any thing coarser than au American gold Eagle. The temperance people held their national jubilee in Music Hall, main building two days recently, many of their prominent speakers being present, including Gov. St John, who was a recent candidate for the presidency, and charged by some critics with “running on the democratic ticket.” Ho looks fresh and vigorous, as if his “mornings morning” of cold toddy agreed with him. On the Sunday following temperance “days,” was German “day,” to which however, St John was not invited. The weather is now fine and the attendance is good.
