Rockefeller, President of the Standard Oil Company, but he refused to answer any questions as to the names or number of Directors and Trustees of that institution, or of the Standard Trust Company, or of the National Transit Company. He was equally uncommunicative with regard to the capital, amount of dividends, or other matters concerning the history and management of these institutions, and informed the committee that none of these subjects came within the scope of their power to investigate.

OBITUARY.

Leon Gambetta. M. Leon Gombetta, the chief representative of modern French Democracy, died at Paris on the first day of the new year. Deceased was bom at Cahors in 1838, and became a member of the bar of Paris in 1859. At the fall of the empire he was made Minister of the Interior, and in October, 1870, he proceeded to Tours, and was for some months dictator of those provinces of France which remained free from the German invaders. By the death of Gambetta France loses her greatest, if not her wisest, statesman. Seldom has a man dying at ‘the age of 4-1 achieved a more prominent place in the world’s history. He had hardly been admitted to the Parisian bar before he acquired fame as a forensic speaker, and in the year 1809, when he was only 30 years of age, he was immensely popular in the city of Paris on account of his eloquent advocacy of advanced Republican principles. But it was during the dork days of the investment °f_the French capital, by the Germans in 1870, that Gambetta attracted to himself the attention of the world. He was nominated Minister of the Interior in the of the National Defensfe, and exhibited the highest qualities of administrative ability. How he passed the German lines surrounding Paris in a balloon, so as to confer with the Delegate Government at Tours, is fresh in the mind of every reader. He then became almost dictator of that portion of France which was not overrun with Germans. But the raw, undisciplined army with which he sought to drive the Germans from French soil melted awpy before their trained and veteran enemiea From this time on the career of Gambetta has been intimately associated with almost every change in the many changes which have occurred to the French republic. He was a power among the people and in the Chamber of Deputies. Elisha Allen. Elisha Allen, the Hawaiian Minister and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, fell dead at the White House, in Washington, where he had attended the President’s New Year’s reception, the supposed cause of death being heart-disease. Mr. Allen was a native of Salem, Masa, and was in his 79th year. He .was Speaker of the Maine Assembly nearly fifty years ago, and was elected as a Whig to the Twenty-seventh Congress. In 1849 he was appointed Consul at Honolulu, since which time he has been prominently identified with Hawaiian affairs. Mr. Allen possessed the full confidence of King Kalakaua, and was largely instrumental in obtaining, the passage of the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty with this country. - Italian wines are to# good, abundant and cheap this year.

ADDITIONAL NEWS.

The Friend building at Milwaukee, the largest mercantile block In that city, was swept away by lire. The total loss is #600,000, most of which was sustained by Friend Brothers, although the stocks of Landauer A Co. and Straw, Ellsworth A Co. suffered to a degree not exceeding 5 per cent of their value. A race riot at Oconee, Ga., resulted in the killing of several white men....Bluford Smith, a colored man, who killed Chaa Kenser, was taken from jail at Tazewell Court House, Va, and riddled with bullets.... Dave Roberts, a negro, charged wtlh cotton stealing and murderous assault, was taken from the Abbeville (S. C.) jail by a mob and lynched. The Ford brothers, who attained to an unenviable notoriety through their connection with Jesse James and other gentlemen of the bush, added to their reputation at Boston in a rather undesirable manner. They had been engaged of late In repeating on the stage, with toy pistols and doll knives, the life they were wont to lead in the back counties of Missouri. They were delighting the gallery in a Boston place of amusement when one of the audience ventured to remark that the dramatic efforts of the Ford boys were not quite up to the Boston standard. The retired outlaws heard the remarks and at once returned to their old profession. Jumping from the stage, they emptied their revolvers In true cowboy style and cleared the house at once Boston policemen, however, proved more active than Missouri Sheriffs, and the redoubtable outlaws were marched off to the station-house....

The paper says: The feature of these returns worthy of special comment is the large increase during 1882. This increase largely occurred during the last quarter of the year, while the general readjustment of trade to a lower range of prices has been going’ on. The numbers reported for the first, second, third and fourth ?iuarters of the year were respectivaly 2,146, ,503,1,658, 2,26 r It will be noted that the number of trade disasters was exceptionally larger in both the first and last quarters of the year, when the blimders of the twelvemonth have had time The reaction that has been going on throughout the country must be regarded as a sign of returning health. There is now good reason for the ‘belief that the country is returning, by gradual steps rather than by a violent movement, to a point where the swelling tide of trade will bring a new excess of disasters.”.... The Court of Queen’s Bench at Toronto, Can., has unanimously decided that the laws of the Province place no restriction op the carrying of passengers by land or water on Sunday, thus overruling a decision thirty years old which held that it was illegal for ferryboats to ply on the Lord’s Day....

XLVIITH CONGRESS.

Upon the reassembling of the Senate, after the holidays, on Dec. 27, debate recommenced on the Pendleton Civil Service bilL Mr. Beck Raid he would sooner see any son of his breaking stone on the roadside than seeking a department office. Mr. Hawley’s amendment to prohibit the solicitation of political contributions by one Government officer from another was rejected bv 18 to 27. A new section was adopted forbidding the retention in office of anv person habitually using liquor to excess. The bill then passed by 39 to 5. The noes were Messrs. Brown, of Georgia, Call, of Florida, Jonas, of Louisiana, McPheraon, of New Jersey, and Morfan, of Alabama The bill provides for a oard of three Commissioners to pass upon the qualifications of persons desirous of entering the public service. A chief examiner is also appointed to act with the board and travel around the country, arranging the preliminaries and conducting the examinations. Appointments are to be distributed pro rata among the States according to population. Political predilections are to be ignored in making selections, and those appointed must not he addicted to the ex-. cessive use of ardent spirilft. Neither Senators nor Representatives are allowed to recommend any one to the Ooard, exoept in the way of certifying “to the character, or residence of applicants. There was no quorum in the House, and an adjournment to Dec. 30 was voted.

Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and Miller, of California. The feature of the Senate proceedings on the 29th ult was- the speech of Senator Logan in opposition to the bill for the relief of Gen. Fitz John Porter. He spoke for three hours, and incorporated in his address Gen. Grant’s article in the North American Review , and his (Logan’s) long reply thereto, published in the Chicago Tribune. On motion of Mr. Hoar, the bill to Srovide for the performance of the duties of tie office of President hi case of removal by death or resignation or inability of both the President and Tice President was then taken up and discussed.

RAILWAY BUILDING.

Nearly 11,000 Miles of - New Main Track ' Built During 1882. The Railway Age gives an interesting account ot the railway construction in the United States during the year 1882. The following is the Age'* summary of new track actually laid from Jan. 1 to Dec. 1, length of main line only, indicated by distance between termini, being considered, and no account being made of new sidings or additional side-track: No. No. States.

Thus it appears that track-laying has been in progress during the year in forty-four of the States and Territories, upon 316 different railways, with the result of adding no less than 10,821 miles to our railway system, and it is not unlikely that this may he increased to 11,000 miles by the final returns. These figures place 1882 far ahead of any other year in respect to railway building, the inhitherto the year of most extraordinary construction, being about 1,500 miles, or more than 16 pfer cent. For the purpose of comparison, there is given below the figures of yearly mileage found in “Poor’s Manual,” assuming them to be approximately correct, and adding our figures for 1882: * Miles Total Miles Total Year. built, mileage.

Allowing #25,000 per mile as a fair average for the cost of a road equipped and in operation, the 10,800 miles of which we have recorded have cost #270,000,000, to which is to be added the vast and unknown sum expended in preparing road-beds on which track is notiyet laid.

A French Dinner.

“What an ingenious people are the French,” writes a friend from Paris. “I dined at the table d’hote of a charmingly kept family hotel, and I think the motto of that dinner might well have been multum inparvo. While waiting for the bouillon to be served I counted the number of people at the table; there were thirty-two, including myself. Following the clear bouillon was a fish, deliciously boiled and served with a marvelous sauce.; then came a joint of mutton; each dish in turn, which was beautifully garnished, was placed first upon the table to be viewed by the guests and then removed to a smaller table at the side of the room where stood the maitre d’hotel ready to divide into portions. The joint of muttou, by no means a large one, was cut deftly into thin slices and passed round by a waiter, another following with dishes of potatoes, peas, etc. Then there came a salad, and then a pair of plump fowls. • These being removed to the carver’s table, then began the (to me) most interesting part of the whole performance.- By means of a pair of carving scissors and a sharp knife these pair of fowls were so cut that each one of the’ thirty-two people received a piece; the drum-sticks, the thighs, the wings even were divided into parts. There was a dainty entree a pate, and then came an omelette soufle, followed by coffee, cheese, etc., and dinner was over. Of course, we had plenty of excellent bread, and in front of each plate stood a bottle of good wine. I know I arose from the table with my appetite quite appeased. If I had not eaten a great deal, I had, at least, seen much; and I know, too, that before midnight I had a craving for ‘something light.’ But still, I repeat, the French are a wonderfully clever people."—Progress. On the farm of Judge Bronson, of Seymour, Allegany county, New Yoi*k, is a natural curiosity. A maple tree one foot in diameter grows out of a solid rock, three feet from the ground, and out of this tree about a foot from the base of the tree is a cedar limb about two inches in diameter, which is as flourishing as any of the branches of the parent tree. A colored waiter is a service sable person.

“I Wish I Was In Dixie.”

Dan Emmett, says the St. Louis Republican, is almost too old to pick tha banjo any more, and has passed out of sight, but some of the songs he wroto and sang will stay in memory. Emmett will be recollected by some of the old citizens of St. Louis as a musician* and banjo-player connected with Stokes* circus in 1841, when he used to tickl* their ears with the lively strains of “The Other Side of Jordan.” He is the author of “Dixie Land,” which is not a “rebel” ditty, as mahy have supposed. The following are the words of the original song from Emmett’s own manuscript: “I wish I was in the land of ofttton, Ole time dar am not forgotten; In Dixie land whar I was bawn in Arly on a frosty mawnin. “Old missus marry Will de weaber; Will he was a gay deceaber; When he put his arm around her He looked as fierce as a forty-pounder. “His face was sharp as a butcher’s cleaber; But dat didn’t seem a bit t<j greab ’er; Will run away, missus took a decline, 1 Her face was de color ob da baoon rine. “While missus libbed, she libbed in clober, When she died, she died alt ober: How could she act de foolish part, An’ marry a man to broke her heart? “Buckwheat cakes and cawh-moal batter Makes you fat and a littlefatter, Here’s a health to de nex’ ole missns, An’ all de gals as want to kiss us. “Now if ye want to dribe away sorrow, Come and hear dis song to-morrow; Den hoe it down an’ scratch de grabble, To Dixie’s land I’m bound to trabble.” The general chorus tu all the verses i s: “I wish I was in Dixie, hoefay, hooray! In Dixie land We’ll take o*r stand To live an’ die in Dixie; Away, away, away down Sous in Dixie! Away, away, away down Sous in Dixie 1" i There are now between 300 and 400 Christian schools’ in China, containing over 6,000 pupils.
