Albert Langel, writing in the Revue dea Monden, says: General Grant i cold and silent; he had ordered a tent to be given me at his head quarter?, but during my brief stay I never saw bim except at dinner, hich was short as it w.ts frugal. Hardly a word wa spoken. I remember that one day one ot the staff spoke of an attack to be made at the mouth of a river, and said that the bar at low tide had sixteen feet of water on it. Grant raisec1 his head; "eighteen feet," and every body held his tongue. When I wasready to depart I gave notice the day before, as the rule was. That day. after dinner, the General, who usually retired at once to bis tent, did me th honor to nsk me to take a short wal with him. It was almost evening v the month of January. " Youbrough. me a letter from Sumner," said he. " 1 don't concern myself with politics, b it they say in the newspapers that 1 belong to the Democratic party. You may eay to Sumner that I am, before everything, the servant of the Unio. and the government; that for his friends, and especially for him, I have no feeling but esteem. He does his work in the Senate; I am doing mine, as well as I can, here, and I hope we shall soon be in Richmond." Eugene Hall, suggej-ts the Boston Transcript, will be the eighth person from New England who has served as postmaster-general. The others were Samuel Osgood of Massachusetts, 178U ; Timothy Pickering of Massachusetts, 1792; Gideon Granger of Connecticut, 1802 to 1814; Jacob Col lamer of Vermont, 1849; .Samuel D. Hubbard of Connecticut, 1852; Hora tio King, Maine, 1851.

From the New York Independent. . "THE EARLY BIRD."

lalntlly over the dew-wet grass Tripped blue-eyed Miliy.tlie farmer's lass, Swinging her inilk-pall to and fro, As she murmured a love song, soft and low. Many a suitor Milly had, - From the squire's son to the lierdman'slad: But she smiled on all with a meiry glance, i And gave each wooer an equal chance. Now faithful Donald, the herdraan's lad, The more he loved her I he more was sad; For what with the squire's son," thought ' he. ."in T s ' mc She never will turn a thought to me! But down the meadow he raked the hay. When Milly went singing along that way. lie watched her pass, and site cried, in je-U: u ' Tls the early bird' you know the rest!" Then suddenly Donald grew so bold That the "old, old story" was quickly told; And. blue-eyed Milly was nothing loth On that summer's morning to plight her troth. . "Oh! foolish Donald!" she cried, in glee, "To wait so long for a hint from me!" Then merrily over the dew-wet grass Tripped Donald and Milly, his own sweet lass. FROM WHITEWATER i Editor of Palladium; By your kind indulgence, I will appropriate a small space in your columns,, for the purpose of giving a few items from Whitewater. In the first place we might state that the town has changed her looks to a great extent, this Summer, caused by the remodeling of some of her houses, and the free application of paint. There are three church edifices in it, the M. E., Christian, and Episcopal; the congregations of the first two have church services and Sunday-school on each Lord's Day ; the communicants of the Episcopal church, being few in number, services are only held monthly, by Dr. Wakefield of Richmond; his place was filled on the 21st ult. by Dr. Austin, of Vincennes, Ind. Mrs. Beardsley, a native of Jamaica, delivered a lecture at the Christian Church the night of the 4th inst., subject, "A Voyage Across the Atlantic," and personal reminiscences of the Island of Jamaica. Her lecture, to say the least, was excellent; Bhe first gave an account of two trips from Jamaica to America, nd concluded by giving a description of the Island and its fruits; after her lecture she exhibited specimens, col lected by . herself, from the Island. Mrs. Frame, wife of Thomas Frame, after a most distressing sickness, of several weeks duration, died on last Saturday, funeral services were held at 3 p. m. on Monday, at Goshen, con ducted by Rev. A. Jackson. The funeral was largely attended. The death of this lady brings me to a sub ject that shall conclude our letter. Mr. Frame, his wife and children, consisting of three girls and two boys, have all been down with the same complaint for the past mx weeks, from which the middle daughter died about three weeks ago, and Mrs. Frame, as before said, on last Saturday. As the country about Whitewater has become notorious for containing some vegetable or mineral poison, which has received the name of milk poison from it effecting the cows and com municated to persons using their milk or butter; it was soon noised about that Frame's family had " milk sick ness," indeed, so great has been the circulation of what we term this false hood, that people of other places have an insuperable antipathy against but ter or beet lrom this place. 'et us give the circumstances that attended tlie'sickness of this unfortunate family, We cannot give the order in which they were taken, but suffice it to say that Dr. Jones was called in to see some of the family, and after making an examination, pronounced the dis ease typho-malarial fever; after a few days Dr. Taylor of Newport, au old and experienced practitioner, was call ed in consultation, the result of which was again pronouncing the disease typho-malarial fever; after a few more days Dr. of Richmond was called in consultation, with the same result, but our Dr. of Richmond, on his second visit, finding so many cry ing milk sickness, became suddenly converted, and decided that they had milk sickness. We may also add that Dr. Griffis made an examination of some of the patients, and decided with Drs. Jones and Taylor. About this tim3, two cows pasturing on the place were seized with some kind of malady and died; of course this appears at first blush as settling the origin of the disease; but it has always been maintained that the sucking calf will take the disease and die, leaving the mothSV.11.il . t er unanecteu; doiu cows in tuts case had young calves, the calves were not affected at all. Mrs. Frame was nursing an infant when taken down, and the child instead of being taken immediately, was the last one attacked. We have written these lines for the purpose of undeceiving those who have formed hasty conclusions- from unfounded reports. Wd will conclude by saying that Mrs. Frame ' leaves a husband and four children, who have the sympathies of a neighborhood of whole souled, liberal christian people, yet the whole world can uot compensate for the loss of a mother. .

CIIOCORUA'S CURSE.

- The rocky county of Stafford, New j Hampshire; is remarkable for its wild and broken scenery. Ranges of hills towering one above another, as if eager to look upon the beautiful country, which afar off lies sleeping in the embrace of heaven; precipices from which the young eagles take their flight to the sun; dells rugged and tangled as the dominions of Roderick Vich Alpine, and ravines dark and deep enough for the. death scene of a bandit, form the magnificent characteristics of this picturesque region. A hitrh precipice, called Chojorua's Cliff, is rendered peculiarly interest ing by a legend which tradition has scarcely saved from utUr oblivion. lad it t een in bcotland, perhaps the' genius of Sir Walter Scott would have hallowed it, and. Americans would lave crowded there to kindle fancy on the altar of memory. Being in the midst of our own romantic sccnerj', it is little known, and less visited; tor the vicinity is as jret untraversed by railroads or canals, and no "Mountain House,'', perched on these tremendous battlements, allures the traveler hither to mock the majesty of nature with the insipidities of fashion. A distinguished .artist, Mr. Cole, found the sunshine and the winds sleeping upon it in solitude and secrecy; and his pencil has brought it before us in its 6 tern repose. in olden times, when Gone and Whalley passed for wizards and mountain spirits among the superstitious, the vicinity of the 6iKt we have been describing was occupied by a very small colony, which, either from discontent or enterprise, had retired into this remote part of New Hampshire. Most of them were ordinary men. led to this independent mode of life from an impatience or restraint, which as frequently accompanies vulgar obsti nacy as generous pride. JJut there was one master spirit among them, who was capable of a higher destiny than he ever fulfilled. The consciousness of this had stamp ed something of proud humility on the face of Cornelius Campbell, something of a hauahty spirit stron.tly curbed by circumstances he could not control, and at which he seemed to murmur, lie assumed bo suieriority: but unconsciously he threw around him the spell of intellect, and his comE anions felt, they knew not why, that e was "among them, but not of them." His statue was gigantic, and he had the bId, quick tread of one who had " wandered frequently and fearlessly among the terrible hiding E laces ot nature. J lis voice was harsh, ut his whole countenance nossessed singular capabilities for tenderness of expression; and sometimes, under the gentle influence of domestic excite ment, his hard features would be rap idly lighted up, seeming like the sunshine flying over the shaded fields iu an April day. His companion was one peculiarly calculated to excite and retain the deep, strong energies of manly love. She had possessed extraordinary beau ty; and had, in the full maturity ot an excellent judgment, relinquished several splendid alliances, and incurred her father's displeasure, for the sake of Cornelius Campbell. Had political circumstances proved favorahle, his talents and ambition would unquestionably have worked out a path to emolument and lame; but he had been a zealous and active enemy of the Stuarts, and the restoration of Charles the Second was the death warrant of his hopes. Immediate flight became necessary, and America was the chosen place of refuge. His adherence to Cromwell's party was not occasioned by religious sympathy, but' by political views, too liberal and philosophical for the state of the people; therefore Cornelius Campbell was no favorite with ' our forefathers, andbeing of a proud nature, he withdrew with his family to the solitary place we have mentioned; It seemed a hard fate for one who had from childhood been accustomed to indulgence and admiration, yet Mrs. Campbell enjoyed more than she had done in her days of splendor; so much deeper are the sources of happiness thau those of gayety. Even her face had suffered little from time and hardship. The bloom on her cheek, which in youth had been like the sweet pea blossom that most feminine of all flowers had, it is true, somewhat faded; but the rich intellectual expression did but receive additional majesty from years; and the exercise of quiet domestic love, which, where it is suffered to exist, always deepens and brightens with time, had given a bland and placid expression, which might well have atoned for the absence of more striking beauty. To such a woman as Caroline Campbell, of whnt use would have been some modern doctrines of equality ond independence? With a mind sufficiently cultivated to appreciate and enjoy her hnsbandV intellectual energies, she had a hear-, that could not have found another home, lhe biru will drop into its nest, though the treasures of eartl and sky arc open. To have provcf marriage a tyranny, and the cares o domestic life a thraldom, would have affected Caroline Campbell as little, as to be told that the pure, sweet atmosphere she daily breathed was pressing upon her so many pounds to every square inch! Over uen a heart, and such a soul, external circumstances have little power; all 'Worldly interest was concentrated in her husband and babes, and her spirit wr. satisfied with that inexhaustible foun tain of joy which nature gives, and God has blessed. A very small settlement, in such a remote place, was of course subject to inconvenience and occasional suffering. From the Iifdians they received neither injury nor insult. No cause ot quarrel had ever arisen; and, although their frequent visits were sometimes troublesome, they never had given indications of jealousy or malice. Chocorua was a prophet among thom, and as such an object of pecu-. liar respect. He had a mind which education and motiva ; would have nerved with giant strength; but, growing up in savage freedom, it wasted itself in dark, fierce, ungovernable, passions. There was something fearful in the quiet haughtiness of his lip it seemed so like slumbering power, too proud to be lightly roused, and too implacable to sleep again. In his Email, black, fiery eye, expression lay

coiled up like a beautiful snake. The white people knew that his hatred

would be terrible; but they had never provoked it, and even the children became too much accustomed to him to fear him. Chocorua had a son, about nine or ten years old, to whom Caroline Campbell had occasionally made such gaudy presents as were likely to attract bis savage fancy. This won the child's affections, so that he became a familiar visitant almost an inmate of their dwelling; and being unrestrained by the courtesies ot civilized life, he would inspect everything, and taste of everything which came in his way. Some poison, prepared for a mischievous fox, which had long troubled tho little settlement, was discovered and drank by the Indian boy; and he went home to his father to sicken and die. From that moment jealousy and hatred took possession of Chocorua's soul. He never told his suspicions he brooded over them in secret, to nourish the deadly revenge he contemplated against Cornelius Campbell. - -; - ; ; The story of Indian animosity is always the same. Cornelius Campbell left his hut for the fields early one bright, balmy morning in June. Still a lover, though ten years a husband, his last look was turned toward liis wife, answering her partingsmile his last action a kiss for each ot his children. When he returned to dinner, they were dead all dead! and their disfigured bodies too cruelly showed that au Indian's hand had done the work! In such a niind, grief, like all other emotions, was tempestuous. Home had been to him the only verdant spot in the wide desert of life. In his wife and children he had garnered up all his heart; and now they were torn from him, the remembrance of their love clung to him like the death grapple of a drowning man, sinking him down, down, into darkness and death. This was followed by a calm a thousand times more terrible the creeping agony of dispair, that brings with it no power ot resistance. "it. was os if the dead T-ould iee.l The iuy worm around him steal." Such, for many days, was the state of Cornelius Campbell. Those who knew and reverenced him, feared that the spark of reason was forever extinguished. But it rekindled again, and with it came a wild, demoniac spirit of revenge. The death-groan of Chocorua would make him smile in his dreams; and when he waked, death seemed too pitiful a vengeance for the anguish that was eating into his very soul. Chocorua's brethren were absent on a hunting expedition at the time he committed the murder; and those who watched his movements observed that he frequently climbed the high precipice, which afterward took his name, probably looking out for indications of their return. Here Cornelius Campbell resolved to effect his deadly purpose. A party was formed under his guidance to cut off all chance of retreat, and the dark minded prophet was to be hunted like a wild beast to his lair. The morning sun had scarce cleared away the fog when Chocorua started at a loud voice from beneath the preci pice, commanding him to throw him self into the deep abyss below. He knew the voice of his enemy, and re plied with an Indian's calmness, lhe Ureat fepirit nave hie to Uho corua; and Chocorua will not throw it awav at the command of a white man "then hear the Great Spirit speak in the white man s thunder! exclaim ed Cornelius Campbell as he pointed the eun to the precipice. Choeorua, though fierce and fear less as a panther, had never overcome his dread of fire-arms. He placed his hands upon his ears to shut out the stunning report; the next moment the blood bubbled from his neck, and he reeled fearfully on the edge ol the precipice. lut he recovered himself, and, raising himself on his hands, he spoke in a loud voice, that grew more terrific as its huskiuess increased, "A curse upon ye, white men! May the Great Spirit curse yc when he speaks in the clouds, and his words are fire! Chocorua had a son and ye killed him while his eye still loved to look on the bright sun, and the green earth! The Evil Spirit breathe death upon your cattle! Your graves lie in the war path of the Indian) Panthers howl, and wolves fatten over your bones! Chocorua goes to the Great Spirit his eurse stays with the white to men! The prophet sunk upon the ground, still uttering inaudible curses, and they left his bones to whiten in the sun. But bis curse rested on the settlement. The tomahawk and scalping knife were busy among them, the winds tore up trees and hurled them at their dwellings, their crops were blasted, their cattle died, and sickness came upon their strongest men. At last the remnant of them departed i from the fatal spot to mingle with j more populous and prosperous colo nies. Uornelius Campbell became a hermit, seldom seeking or seeing his fellow-men; and two years after he was found dead in his hut. To this day the town of Burton, in New Hampshire, is remarkable for a pestilence which infects its cattle; and the superstitious think that Chocorua's spirit still sits enthroned upon his precipice, breathiug a curse upon them. Inside -of a Jug. The following is a leading editorial in the Middletown Constitution. The writer evinces a profound knowledge of his subject, which could have only been acquired by many years of observation, and which elicits our wonderful admiration: "The jug is a most singular utensil. A pail, tumbler or decanter may be rinsed, and you may satisfy yourself by optical proof that it is clean; but the jug has a little hole in the top, and the interior is all darkness, ho eye penetrates it no hand moves over the surface. You can clean it only by putting in water, shaking it, and pouring it out. If the water comes out clean, you judge you have succeeded in cleaning the jug, and vice versa. Hence, the jug is like the human heart. No mortal eye can look into its recesses, and you can only judge of its purify by what comes out of it. A large brick pork-packing establishment is to be huilt this season at Marion, by parties from Indianapolis.

Hal latoues the SMse of Oranges. One of the most extraordinary phenomena ever witnessed in this country took place on the Fourth of July, in Bergen count. New Jersey. About 6:15 p. m., in the village of Westwood, during the celebration of the day. a sudden darkness came over the village, and, before the alarmed inhabitants could seek shelter, a violent stoini of hailstones descended upon the heads of the crowd. Hailstones two inches and a half in diameter, and as hard and heavy as cobblestones, came down in furious shower. Hens and chickens , were killed in h rge numbers: cows and horses were stunned. The frightened populace ran in every v direction, seeking shelter in sheds, beneath -trees, and in every available spot. Fortunately the majority, escaped without injury. A young lady named Miss Bogart was, however, struck on the hand by one of the hailstones an I her rist and arm frightfully lacerated. At the llidgwood JHouse, iu the- village, an enormous .-amount of damage was done. Not a - single pane of glass was left whole in the building, and, incredible as it may appear, the hailstones actually broke through the slate roof, as if they had been cannon balls. The storm covered an area of about twenty five miles, srretching from Spring Valley to Kinder Kaimack. The storm prevailed at its utmost at the stations of Pascack and Ridgcwood, which are on the llackensack branch of the Erie railroad, and the depots were completely riddled, as though a

battle had been fought in the neighborhood. As late as 6 o'clock on the morning of the 5th, hailstones were picked up at the station, the size of walnuts. Through the section of country where the storm raged, a most perfect scene of desolation can be witnessed. Every tree is stripped of its fruit, grain fields of rye and corn laid low, and the hoie ot hay this fall is utterly gone. The sensation cieated in the vicinity was, as might be imagined, tremendous. In one sewing machine factory, just above Ridgcwood, over 1.000 panes of glass were broken and the state raof damaged. The shower continued for just thirty minutes, and in this short space ot time, damage to the amount of man5f thousands of dollars was done. The hailstones on an average, were the size of turkey eegs, and of every conceivable shape, with sharp corners and edges that cut like knives. During the continuation of the shower, the thunder and lightning was incessant, and with the screaming of men, women, and children, and the shrieks of affrighted cattle, the scene was one truly aw ful. The following i assage from the letter of F. B. Carpenter, the artist, explanatory of his previous interview with a reporter of the Brooklyn Eagle, tends to show that Mr. Beecher was a party to the proposition to send Theodore Tilton out of the country, to remain two years. He says: Mr. Beecher did not couple the statement. " If Mr. Tilton would go to Europe, tlie means would be provid. ed," at that time with auy condititions but he requested me before taking any steps in the matter to see Mr. 11. M. Cleveland. I saw Mr. Cleveland the following Tuesday, and told him what Mr. Beecher had said.' He made an appointment to meet me the next day at his office in New York. I weut to see Mr. Cleveland next day, according to appointment, and he then told me that the money could be had only on consideration that Jlr. Tilton would bind himself to stay there two years. He said Mr. Tilton must alsa make a public disavowal of sympathy with Mrs. Woodhull's views, I instantly declined all further negotiations on the subject. Assuming that Mr. Carpenter tells the plain truth, the presumption that the proposition to raise a purse to pay the expenses of Mr. Tilton two years in Europe came from Mr. Beecher is very strong. Witness: 1. Mr. Beecher requested Mr. Carpenter to see his friend, Mr. II. M. Cleveland, in relation to the matter. 2. Mr. Carpenter aw Mr. Cleveland and communicated to him what 31 r, Boecher said on the subject. 3. Mr. Cleveland postponed a decision, appointing the following day. 4. He then told Mr. Carpenter that the money coould be raised ou certain conditions, naming them. One of these conditions was two year's absence, and the other that he (Tilton) must publicly disavow sympathy with Mrs. Woodhull's " views" presumably her " views" as to the charges she publicly preferred against Mr. Beecher. Mr. Carpenter evidently regarding the proposition as dishonorable to 31r. lilton. declined all further negotiations. This is a strong line of circumstantial evidence going to show that Mr. Cleveland was acting as the agent of Mr. Beecher, and that the latter desired to procure the absence from this couutry of Mr. Tilton. Canning Corn. "A subscriber's wife" write from Locust Grove, as follows: Seeing that there has been in the Inter-Ocean inquiry how to can corn, I will give the recipe used by me last year, with the assurance that corn keeps as certainly by this method of canning as tomatoes, and was pronounced the best canned corn ever eaten, by those who partook ol it. Cut the corn from the cob, addin one ounce of tartaric acid to each six quarts of corn measured after cutting, boil in plenty of water two or three hours, can and seal up. I used glass cans. Wl.cn the corn is used, drain off the water, rinse and drain again, and in heating up add a small teaspoon of soda and a little sugar to each quart of corn. Try this once and you will be satisfied. "I have been," says Judge Nott, "at the bar and in the military service, and my experience leads me to the conclusion that women are as well fitted for the one as the other. The light breech-loading carbine demands activity rather than strength. Woman, as a soldier, would have little to do besides marching, and shooting, and being shot. It is said that a wellbred, intelligent, honest woman will make a better attorney than an ignorant, vicious, unscrupulous man. This is true; but it is equally true that a healthy, active woman will make a better soldier than a decrepit man." A ton of camel's hair passed through Omaha for the East, recently.

Expolslojt of lee Cream. There was a singular explosion in an ice cream manufactory in Reading, Penn., one day last week, which the Times thus describes: "A large copper boiler was used to boil the cream before it is frozen. ; The vessel has two bottoms, the lower compartment of which is the receptical for the steam to heat the contents. The entire arrangement is mounted on an iron frame. One of the employees, Mr. Henry Myers, was stirring the cream, as usual, while'.the steam was heating up the boiler. During the stirring the entire quantity of cream suddenly and with the velocity of the wind, shot up into the air, the steam rushed out and up with a hissing noise, the boiler tipped over, and the entire premises, the sides of the rear buildings, And the roofs of the same, were covered with the snowy fluid. Mr. Myers and a fellow-workman named Joseph Ferrell were severely scalded. Mr. Cleweli.and family were in the store. The accident caused great excitement, being the result of carlessness in allowing too heavy a steam pressure. The bottom was of heavy sheet copper, and is almost torn out." ' .

Tbe Effect or the Cnrreney Rill. In speaking of this subject, the Indianapolis Journal says: The practi cal effects of the currency bill are now pretty well understood. It tikes from the President the power to withdraw the $26,000,000 of greenbacks which were issued last fall during the panic, ami fixes the greenback circulation at $382,000,000, permanently. It releases the absurd reserve which the banks were required to keep on their circulation, and it will set free to be used in the business of the country about $40,000,000 of greenbacks which will be expansion to that amount. It will take from the Eastern States $55,000, 000 of national bank currency, to be distributed to the West and South. The new notes are to be issued as fast as called for, without waiting for the notes of the Eastern banks to be gathered in, so that in effect there will be two sets of notes in circulation at the same time, which will be another clement of expansion. Eastern papers that have howled themselves hoarse over the evils of inflation will take no tice that the bill which the President has signed contains twice the expansion, and much more immediate than the one he vetoed. The country will now have relief, confidence will be restored, and the Shylecks and gamblers of Wall street will discover that they have been ba lly beaten in the end. All the abuse and blackguardism lav ished by the Eastern press upon West ern Senators and Representatives have f ailed their purpose, and their domineering insolence aided by many Western dougn-taccs, has received a severe repulse which will be useful in the future. Sound Advice to Yonng Ladies. Bishop Foster, in addressing the graduating class ot the Wesleyan te male college in Cincinnati on Tuesday evening, said: Learn your obliga tions to the past; be careful of the present, and prepare yourself for the great future that is before you. The reign of brain has come.

Be not what is known as a 'fashionable' woman. There is nothing so foolish as such a woman, and none but fools admire her." From the Washington Capital. He Naid He Wouldn't, and He Didn't. General Spinner, the friend of women and tho aged watch-dog of the Treasury, during the late raid on the Departments by an economical Con gress. not only stood firm, but came off victorious. When the committee sent for him, and very impertinently inquired how many clerks he could spare from his bureau, he responded j one, sir 1 have not one supernumerary. Indeed I have work feminine work gentlemen, for more.' 1ITI . . w hen mtormed mat it was neces sary to cut down his force the ol gentleman waxed wroth. ' By , gentlemen," he cried," take that to be a vote of censure. know my business, by . I have no drones in my hive; therefore, if you resolve to cut down my force include me, lor tne i resident snail nave my resignation. This bureau, however, did come un der the restrictions, and four females received legal notice that their ser vices were no longer required by the department. When this fact reached the ears of Old Spin, he called his clerks, male and female, before him and said: " Fellows, an attempt by this d d beggarly, mean Congress is being made to turn some ot you out. iNow when they turn any one of you fellows out, by they turn me out. But I won't go. No, if I go a step, nor shall you. The four notified to quit will continue their work. I take the responsibility, and I'll pay 'em out of the conscience fund. It couldn't be put to a better use. Now, fellows, go to work." The men broke out into loud cheers, and the women burst into tears. Then a cheruby little miss of about sixty threw her arms hysterically around him and kissed him. At this all rushed at the benevolent old swearer, and he was nearly suffocated, for the thermometer stood at ninety. The dear, profane old soldier ! Wish we had an army of that sort ! A sign on Broadway reads: " Potatoes for sail hole sail and retail " One on the city market reads: "Hickre nuts for sail."

Did it ever occur to th public, asks a Chicago paper, that women are getting entirely too healthy? It's amazing what a little lecturing and ridicule, and consequent exercise' and sensible clothing have accomplished. The danger now is that the women will become so entirely robust and live to such astonishing ages that they will gradually drive puny men out ol. existence. Go through any of the streets of Chicago and look at tho faces and figures of the . two eexes. Observe the sharp, thin visages, the spindling limbs and the dyspetic countenances of three-fourth of the men. They seem to have a yearning desiro to lean up against something and think, and would, were they not driv

en by the demands ot business to drag themselves on. The women, on the contrary, are the pictures of good ' health and contentment. They have not yet thought to 6cold and caution their husbands and sweethearts against a ruinoas style of living; but the danger of a dearth of men will soon excite the fair sex to bold -words upon the subject. . - , i At South Bend, a few nights ago, ' an old man 70 years of ace. named Louis Shellock. made two attempts at suicide.

Dodds, late member of Congress from the First District of Ohio, tells a good story about a ' call ho recently received at his of lice from a man who claimed to be an editor from Arkansas. He was a very seedy looking chap, and appeared as though he had but re cently come off from about a bix weeks spree. Bowing profoundly, then stricking an attitude, with one hand on his heart and the other extending a badly used plut hat, ho exclaimed with a dramatic air: Have I the honor of addressing the Hon. Orzo J. Dodds?? My name is Dodds, but I am no longer an honorable," said the Co lonel. ' ; .- .- "Not an honorable? . ' Dodds not an honorable? Now, by St Paul, when I can scan that honest face, on which all the erods do seem to set their seal 'Green seal,' mur mured Dodds to - himself"! I read nothing dishonorable." "That's right," said Dodds : "nev er read anything dishonorable. But to business. Yes, as you say, to business. I am a printer I might say, with no unbecoming blush, an editor. I am from the noble State of Arkansaw, the only State, by the way, able and willing to support two governments at the same time. But I have been unfortunate. " Much have I been tossed through the ire of cruel Juno, and " 'Juno how it is yourself," broke in the Colonel. " : Buffeted by the world's rude storms, you see me here a stranded ! wreck.

When the national treasury was threatened by a horde of greedy Congressmen, you 6tood like a wall of adamant between the people and those infamous salary grabbers. Lend me a dollar!" "My dear sir," the Colonel hastened to explain, "you mistake the case entirely, I was one of the grabbers." "You were?" Grasping the Colonel's hand warmly. "So much the better! .Let me congratulate you that a parsimonious public could not frighten you out of what was fair remuneration for your invaluable services. I am glad that your pecuniary circumstances are so much better than I supposed. Make it two dollars!" And the Colonel did. It was the only clean thing left for him to do. There was a street fight in Pitts burgh lately so complicated that Justice Meredith couldn't definitely find out about it. An old colored man and an Irishman got into a i squabble because the latter called the former a bottle nosed nigger. At the same lime and place a ped ' dler struck a woman because she said his teaspoons were pewter. In their incipiency the fight had no connection, but in the course : of battle things lost individuality, and each combatant fought everybody else. This so involved the evidence' that the justice warned them to fight understandingly in the future and let them go.

They bloomed out very full, and a short time afterward the full grown leaves around the bloom ' . began to die, and now thev look scorched as with a hot iron. The little twigs on which the fruit grows is dead, and a great many of the smaller boughs. The trees on which there was no blume are not affected, and a small portion of those which flowered have escaped. Pear trees are worse affected than apples, though it appears that many oi my apple trees will die. Perhaps some of your' subscribers can give ' the cause and also the remedy." , Reply to "Farmer." Tho trees 1 are affected with the twig blight which attacks the young shoots of ' the current season's growth on the apple, pear, and quince, causing -them to wither and become brown " at early or midsummer.

There is, I am well aware, a cheap kind of happiness of which any of us may make ourselves the possessors at any time, and with little trouble. It is generally possible to imagine a worse condition than the one we are in. Think, for instance, if you have lost money in the Northern Pacific, or are disappointed in love, or your plantation has been washed away that you might be the chairman of a May anniver sary meeting, or a member of the hanging committee of the Academy, or an autograph collector, or th editor of a magazine. "The Old Cabinet;" Scribner' for July. While the crew of political bummers who have certain dull axes to grind, are spouting , inflation and other cheap clap-trap to the indus -trious classes, the horny-fisted farmers of Nebraska are quietly solving the currency problem by raising a spendid crop of grain. The indications are that they will succeed in getting about $8,000,000 currency for the crop of 1874, and that will put more money in circulation than forty new banks would circulate, even if they had an unlimited quantity of money to lend on approved securities.
