Gov. Brown, of Maryland receie> ly met Gov. Brown, of Rhode Island, and GoV. Brown, of Kentucky, at Chicago. The Czar has dismissed his ablest general. No more the foes of Russia will be compelled to quail before the awful name of Dragoniroff. It appears that Dragonirofl was not only too harsh in his methods to be a congenial element within thegeutie sway -gs the Bear, but he had a habit, of filling his -military skin with rum. and while under its influence would swear with a fluent'accuracy that was none the less true to its mark because the royal master was occasionally the target. So Dragoniroff had to go. Many coincidences are unaccount ably strange, and few are more interesting than this: A blacksmith at Pottsdam was married February 17, 1882, the same day on which the present German Emperor took unto himself a wife. Like the royal ruler, the humble blacksmith has six sons born on the same days as the little princes, but to make the case supremely strong in its strangeness the mechanic s wife presented him with a daugter on the same day the little princess was initiated to the uncertainties of life.

It is not often that even the tnost accomplished swindler can count so many as three thousand victims. But of all the easiest forms of duping the human animaljhejnatrimonial swindle is said to be the easiest. So perhaps we need not be surprised to learn that whole repimenta of SPQdles answered the advertisement in a French newspaper whjph announced that a youncr orphan lady, with a splendid income, wished to marry a serious airfl refined gentleman. It was not until multitudes of these hoaxed persons, each of whom had paid a $6 fee to the intermediary, clamored for justice that the police intervened. The abominable smell often noticed about very cheaply bound books is caused by the carbolic acid which is put in the paste to preserve it and keep it free from cockroaches, which will scent purfe v l ,aste a block away, and come to it in shoals. Under ordinary circumstances cloves will do as well" as carbolic acid, but ip book binderies where there is alwhys-a good supply of paste and where the other attractions for cockroaches are numerous, darbolic acid is really the only effective preventive. In the case of better bound books very little paste is used, and the leather has generally sufficient perfume about it to counteract a little unpleasantness.

There is something farcical in the announcement the policeman's club has been abolished in New York when it is accompanied by the statement that hereafter each member of the force should carry a small ‘billet of wood fourteen inches in length concealed in a pocket. This is a g od deal like the abolition of corporal punishment in certain prisions where the lash is no longer permitted, but where inmates are flogged with a strap. “Do you go to school my lad? ’asked a benevolent old party of a small boy whom he saw trudging along with his satchel in his hand. “No, sir,” said the boy indignantly; “I don’t go to school. I’m tending ’cademy.” Somebody has reported the important fact that the royal family of Russia has at length discarded the China tea, which, from time imme morial has been carried on camels across the wastes of central Asia to the Russian markets. The Czar and his household have transferred their patronage to the tea raisers ot Ceylon, in which respect their example seems to have been followed by nearly the whole of Great Britain. The weaker teas of India are being dis placed by the stronger teas of India and Ceylon, and within the past five years, while the import of Ceylon teas into Great Britain has increased fivefold, the quantity of China tea imports has diminished about one* half. This illustrates a phase of colonial policy that is becoming very noteworthy over the water. Everything has been done to encourage Ceylon tea growing and make a market for the product in Great Britain. Ger - many tries to induce her emigrants tp settle in her colonies, so that, as buyers and sellers, they may not be lost to the Fatherland; and Austria, .having no colonies, is opposed to any •migration at alL—New York Sun.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

Jones set forth the American proposals and reviewed tlm monetary situation in the United States and other conn* tries represented in the conference, They submitted a general plau on bi-metalisra offered by the United States, showing that the re-establishment and maintenance of a fixed parity between gold and silver, and the continued use of both as coined money, of full debt paying power, would be productive of important benefit! to tbe world, The American delegates also submitted a resolution declaring that in the opinion of tbe conference it Is desirable that means be found for an Increasing use of silver in the currency sj stems of the Nations. A document, proposed by tbe American delegates and presented with tha resolution, explained that they

wished that an opportunity be afforded to considerllicifplhns. English influences aro evidently busy fn opposition to American schemes. The Englrsinrelegatcs hardlA make any concealment of the fact that they mean, if possible, to make the conference abortive. They privately bint that the object ol England’s representation in the conference is to enable the British government to tel; the government of India that they have done all that is possible, and that if no agreement can be arrived at, it is because the problem is an jnsolublo one. The document submitted by the ArheiTean representatives concluded as follows: These ends will bo accomplished by the removal of tbeJegal restrictions now existing and the coinage of silver into full legal tender money, retiring by International agreement aparity of value between tho metals at such a ratio as the conference may decide upon. Tho essentials o* s ueli ah-in tar national arrangernent shoulet bo. 1. The unrestricted coinage of both gold and silver into money of full debt paying pawer. 2. Fixing a ratio of tho coinage between the metalsr 3. Tho establishment of a uniform charge, if any, to the public for minting gold and silver coins.

LATEST KANSAS FREAK.

People of All Parties Reported to Favor a Division of the State. Th» agitation of a new question is now stirring political circles In Kansas. It is tho division of the State into two cqua l halves. Tho discussion of tho question has been going on over since election in a quiet way, tot, now tho newspapers have taken it up and are arguing it with more or less vehemence. Tho Republicans of the west half of the State favor the proposition, for. that section of .the State Ig strongly Republican, while those of the east are opposed to it because the division would make that half anl.iUepublican. The Democrats generally rfavor the division, for the reason that in tho event of the death of tho People’s party they w-ould be in controHhe eastern half, whero all the large cities are located, and where their majorities arc. Asido from political reasons there are many good grounds forthe division. The two halves of the State have entirely dissimilar interests. The eastern half is metropolitan and largely interested in manufactures, while 'the western half is given up to agriculture. The climate of the two regions is different ani their peoplo are separate classes. Finally, each half is dissatisfied with the other on political and business grounds, and can never live in harmony with one another. It is probable that steps may be taken this winter to secure the division of the State.

The official count of tho vote of Connecticut as determined by thp State .board o f canvassers late Wednesday, shows that Cleveland for President received tho largest vote over cast for a candidate in the State. The total voto of the State for President was 164,825. and Cleveland’s plurality over Harrison is 5,570. Ex-Speaker Reed, when told that the afternoon papers said that the Republican electoral ticket had been successful in .Ohio, lie said: “Well, I’m glad weearriod Ohio, It shows what we cau do when we arc aroused.” The official canvass of the vote of Chotoau county was made on tho 22d and resulted in giving the certificate to one Dem" ocratic member of the Legislature, making that body Democratic on joint hallo* and insuring the election of a straight “Democrat--as fcrwßed- SUUoa Senator . Three Populists hold the balance of power in tho House, but tho Democrats hope to get the organization of that body. The complete returns from California show that the olcctiai of the next United States Senator from that Stato will he controlled by the thiid party, the balanc e of power in tbe Legislature being in tbc bauds of the Populists.

An amusing incident occurred at the Wallace circus winter quarters near Peru on the 25th. Dr. Sayre, of Wabash, and Grant Wilson, of Peru, visitors, were watching keeper Sweeney, of the animal department, do the feeding. One of the large leopards, through hunger, managed to escape from his cage and came for the three men.

Sweeney, with reinforcements, finally subdued the beast, but not until a pet dog had been killed and desperate force used in the nature of hot irons and pitchforks. A bold attempt was made Monday night to rob and murder James Coombs, a rich lumber dealer of Carbon, Clay county. He was on his way from Carbon to Bridgeton to pay off the men in his employ, and he had several thousand dollars about his person. At a lonely spot two masked men sprang from the woods. One grasped the bridle of the horse while the other drew a revolver, and springing behind Coombs, discharged the weapon, tho bullet entering Coombs’ back. The shot frightened the horse, which sprang forward, throwing the robber to one side, and the animal ran down the road. Both men began firing at Coobms, but no other bullet struck him. The injured man reached Bridgeton and spread the report. An armed posse immediately started in pursuit, taking a rope with them, but did not capture the highwaymen. Coombs’ injuries are serious and may result fatally.

An unusual criminal case has come to an ending in Logansport, a jury finding Mrs. Mary Heenan guilty of embezzlement and sentencing her to one year's imprisonment in tihe Female Reformatory. Miss Mary Remley, sixty-three years old, held $4,800 in cash and a home valued at $2,000. She resided in the country until after her father’s death, when she built a home at Logansport. Trouble with relatives made her suspicions, and she retained in her personal keeping whatever money she possessed. Mrs. Heenan was a neighbor, who often alluded to a wonderful fortuneteller, and, Miss Remley consenting to see her, a woman disguised as a gypsy called one evening and volunteered to tell her fortune, The pretended gypsy then gave Miss Remley a discription of the man she would marry, which answered exactly to a physician at Logansport, to whom Miss Remley was deeply attached. Miss Remley paid $l0 for this first visit, and did it gratefully. Freqently visits were afterwards made by the same Gypsy, of whom it might here be said was none other than Mrs. Heenan. Once the Gypsy told her that the Doctor (Blackburn by name) was sick and needed $400 to lift a mortgage on his property; further, that if Miss Remley failed to advance it another woman stood ready to do so. With each succeeding visit the credulous woman paid over money to the pretended Gypsy, the amount ranging from fifty to one hundred dollars, at at one time $600 was secured in one lump. Eventually al| her ready cash was exhausted and then Miss Remley was persuaded to mortgage her little home for $950, and she followed this by giving a deed to her property to Mrs. Heenan. After this she was told the Gypsy was dead. Miss Remley then consulted a lawyer and it resulted in the criminal prosecution of Mrs. Heenan. As part of the consideration of the deed Miss Remley was given permission to live there during her natural life. The defense set up that the money paid to Mrs. Heenan was in return for loans made to Miss Remley and that she had no connection with the pretended Gypsy woman. The trial lasted a week.
