THE Twecd-Tamany Ring is perhaps the most complete wreck in the world. Keyser, the plasterer, has just been taken to an ii.sane asylum. All the other members have come to some bad end.,

CHARLESTON, South Carolina, has had a $250,000 fire. It was in a part of the city occupied almost exclusively by poor people, and great numbers are left homeless and penniless. Much suffering is reported.

IT appears that Ben. Butler has been doing a little investigating on his own account lie is credited with the discovery of just how Mrs. Bowers got ?30,000 of the money collected from the Government by Pendleton.

IT just does Mayor Caven good to get hold of an Indianapolis scoundrel who has been whipping his mother. He gave Albert Key $50 fine and costs, and a situation on the chain gang for an offence of that kind Wednesday.

GEN. BUTLER humorously observed beforo the Committee, the other day, that he had never said anything to a newspaper correspondent which was not published and that he would trust them with untold gold but not with a bit of news. -4,

THE Treasury Department has received during the week, from San Francisco, fourteen tons of silver coin, in anticipation of the period for commencing the circulation of silver. This amounts to $500,000. At this rate, a sum equal to the National debt would look rather bulky if all in silver and in one pile.

A GEORGIA railroad conductor was dismayed, the other day, in finding on bis train a family ef eight, every one of whom was an idiot, and did not know whither they were going or where they came from. He relieved himself from embarrassment by putting them off the train.

A LONDON dispatch of the 21st instant, say*: "Four hundred wind-bound vessels left the Mersey yesterday, including 193 bound to foreign porta. The spectacle was unprecedented.

of Rep­

resentatives, Monday, to —spend the rules and pass a bill rap—ling the resumption not, foiled for want of a twothirds vote. The vote stood Mi yeas to 108 nays. The rules were not suspended. This Is supposed to settle the matter so far as the present Congress is conned. Gen* Banter, ef this district, voted ayu.

THE platform adopted by the Democratic State Convention of Pennsylvania deelares tbat "the statata for the resumption of spsete payment hi a standing threat upon bvstaeas maa and ought to be forth with repealed sad that "gold and silver are the only true basis for the currency ef the Repubtte, and that Congress should take such steps for the resumption ef sgeptejapmmit sa win most surety sad fifeseJHj leaah the result," which surrounds the whfcfo question as neatly sa eouWI have been done.

IT Is strange that nobody bas yet found any fault with that ambiguous utterance of Secretary Taft, of the Cincinnati Board of Tirade. He said: "I claim nothing on the score of honesty more than others. All I can say for the tature 1* that I will do the beat I can."

THE man who did the figuring for the New York World, showing how s#sy it was going to be tor the Democratic ty to carry the oountry at the ooming Presidential election, set New Hampshire down for a Democratic majority of 1,000. It wont nearly 4,000 the other way.

J. 8. EVANS, the now famous posttrador, testified before the committee on expenditures in the War Depertment, that when he went to Waabington to have bis appointment renewed he was introduced to the Socretary of War by General Rice, of Iowa, and paid that gentleman $1,000 for the introduction, though Rice wanted to charge him $1,500. Introductions must have been high in those times.

THE snow storm the early part of this week must have very much astonished the South. At Memphis over ten inches fell, blocking up the streets, stopping the street airs and delaying the trains on all the railroads in that region. Little Rock bad nino inches of snow and suffered similar inconveniences. The storm was very general over the South and its equal was probably never before experienced in that section of tbo country. Indeed, ten inches of snow would bd an astouisher herd.

DHE bankruptcy of Daniel Drew, it is said, is a serious drawback to the Drew Theological Seminary. Uncle Daniel gave his note for $250,000 to endow tfee Seminary, and now all the Seminary has to show for it is the note, whlen is worth nothing, as it was the express understanding that the principal was not to be paid, and that'Mr. Drow was to pay the interest only. Before Uncle Daniel became baukrupt tho interest, which amounted to $17,000 annually, was paid regularly, but ROW, the payment of even the interest is stopped.

THE New York Sun advocates the privilege of suicide to criminals condemned to death. If the offender prefers to dispatch himself rathei than to be dispatched, the Sun would have that alternative left open to him. The question arises whefber the moral guilt which attaches to deliberate suicide would adhere in a case where the law had already fixed the time of death and the taking of poison did not hasten it. It is a first rate question for argument and is respectfully recommended as such to the colored debating society in the "so ith end."

THEY have been having some snow iui Scotland too it appears. The dispatches say that nearly all the railroads north of the River Tay are more or less blocked. The Caledonian line is covered with snow twenty feet deep. Twelve trains are snowed in near Aberdeen. An equal number are blocked on the Great Northern. The mail from Dundee to Perth on Sunday took fourteen hours instead of the usual forty minutes. The telegraph lines are buried in many places in the northern part of Scotland.

THERE is a sad story going the rounds of the papers now, about a little nephew and niece of Charles Dickens, who are said to fee only kept out of the Amboy (Illinois) almshouse by the charity of two poor people who have given tbem a home since the death of their mother. Their father was Augustus N. Dickens, who eloped to this country with a school girl, leaving a blind wife in England. The wife, on learning of his desertion, committed suicide. Mr. Dickons procured a situation on tho Illinois Central railroad. His brother, Charles, sent him money at various times, and, after his death, nine years ago, supported his widow and children until bis own deatb. Since then the family bas experienced great privation.

A LONO line of honorable ancestors is a thing to be proud of, but birth it should be well understood does not in all cases prevent a man from being a great rogue. "He comes of a good stock" is a recommendation in most cases, but it is not a guarantee of honesty. The recent disclosures regarding Pendleton afford a good illustration of this. He bad made bis aristocratic birth his principal political stock in trade. His notions of honor, his sensibilities, were generally believed to be nicer than those of the ordinary run of mortals and nnder the cloak of this reputation be did things from which an honest wood chopper iSenld shrink. It was the same with Belknap aad others who "come of a good stock,** and proves that it will not do to rely too much on ••fomily."

IN the sudden "letting down" in mining stocks last week In San Francisoo, one of the worst sights was that of women who bad loet much or all in the speculations. The Alta says:

Among the many that carried the ful expression upon their faces that bad not been kindly deslt with were a huge number of women, who are clawed among the most persistent of stock dabblers, lnraugh the rain, without regard to their appearance or the denting of their dresses from the mod, they rushed to their broker, riving orders to either save something from the wreck or buy mora, and in many oases to beg from inexorable brokers a fow days' extension of time to raise the money to secure their stocks from being sacrificed. Crying babies, personal appear* neee, ana hasbanus' meals were eeaoadary considerations—these could Suffer or wait—for their pin-money speculation tfcust be Wtended to. Some of these women are remarkably shrewd operators, and many of tbem ran count their wealth by thousands, all made through fortunate Investments.

TIIE THAT IS CONCEDED TO HIM. (From the Utlca Observer.]

The name of the President's brother is misprinted by some newspapers. The New York Times calls him Orville H. Grant the Troy Times, Orville li. the Utiea Herald, 'Orville M. His namo is Orvill L. Grant. Let no injustice bo done to the man. Give him L. lie deserves it.

TJIE UfiSE OF THE CO UN Tlt Y. [From The Graphic.] Owing to a doubt about tho law, there is some difficulty in the way of Chica-

fsts.

po's borrowing money from the capitalIt is to be hoped that the doubt will be strong enough to prevent the city from obtaining any money whatever. If such a thing were possible as fcr the capitalists of the whole country to decline lending one cent to any municipality for ten years to come, it would save many of our cities from bankruptcy, reduco the rate of taxation, and make valuable investments of the debts now due, but which are jeapordized and depreciated by thfs ability to be constantly borrowing. The readiness with which we can go in debt is one of the curses of all modern communities

TIIE NEED OF THE HOUR [From the Graphic Colonel Fred. Grant has returned to the West, having been ordered to join bis regiment again. Ha! How is this Why is this? Why does Mr. Fred. Grant go West Why did he go East Why does he even go anywhere There must be some sinister motive! Would lie over have fled West at this time of the year unless there had been a j«b in it? Would ho ever have hurried to Washington to do his father's writing last year unices urged thereto by monstross avarice Would he have over accepted a commission in the army and obeyed the order to join Sheridan's staff unless impelled by the secret purpose to ruin the Government? Would he ever have held his nose to the grindstone of hard study for four years and graduated from West Point unless ho had already planned a monstrous crime? In fact, would ho ever have consented to be born at all except with some fell design? What right has a President of the United States to have children, anyway, or a wife, or relations, or affcctions to be wounded, or sensibilities to be stung by calumny and insult? There is only one way out ef this. If the Republic is to bo maintained in all its pristine glory, we must invent some sort of automatic President without human faculties, functions, or emotions—somo new species of our race, perhaps, bearing tho same relation t« the rest of us that the queen beo bears to the little neuter workers or the good-for-nothing drones, at once defying jealousy and scorning intimacy. It is pretty evident that the present method will not work.

HOW TO WIN A WOMAN'S FAVOR. It is very easy to make yourself popular .among the ladies. Don't stand back and tremble, and think bccause you haven't the figure of Adonis or the face of Apollo, you stand no chance at all. It is not moustaches and straight noses that do the business. Women, bless their souls, do not care a fig for such things! Only remember a fow little preliminaries, and you can make tbem like you, even if your hair is red and your mouth wide I When you go to make an evening call, don't start too early. Ladies are not well-pleased to bo caught before their curls and bssqucs are arranged. Be particularly careful not to sit down on the cat or kick the dog across the floor—the girls are sure to appreciste any one who knows how to be polite to tbeir pets. If there's a piece of worsted work, admire it don't mistake the artificial flowers in thft vsse for real if the young lady is doing crochet work, ask ner if she csn't teach von. Beyond everything, don't t'p back in your chair for every crack *.« the Ira^fie ftmiitrtre there'll be a worse fracture in your friendship. And when she begins to yawn behind her pockethandkerchief, take up your bat and go. "Short and sweet, long and bitter," is the motto. When you are out walking with a lady, don't go striding slong until she has to run to keep up with you— the first thing you know she wilLcun off home. Notiee just how she walks aUtt •iodulate your gait assordingly. If ihe mcsti a fotnlnlne acquaintance and stops for nice little ehat, It is eeeentlsl that you should not nlanifcstimpntlen* by balancing on one foot and then on the other. If she wait to look Into a •hop window, stop Ma admin too though you may not know a ribbon from a railway sflien, When you oome to a croestair, giva her the whole of it, snd go meekly into the mnd. Tell her how oeooming her bonnet is, and Implore bar to wear it the next time she •oes to the opera with yon. It you meet a rival young gentleman at her bouse, don't be rude to him—it is the worst policy in the world, lie an polite as possible to him erush him. if yon can with courtesy. Never laugh loud In a parlor, and remember to speak low. It's Just as well not to talk very much yourself: let the lsdles have the preferenoe, and they will prefer your

soc*et7

accordingly. Be blind and deaf to whatever they propose to keep from your sight and hearing. Nothing fa asaler than to be a fovorfte with the ladies.

Humor tbem, wait on them, study their little peculiarities, be always ready to escort tbem anywhere, amuse them when they are dull and laugh with tbem when they sre lively, and though you may be homely as a hedge fence, they will like yoa ten times better than the handsome blockhead who thinks bis looks are gdtag

I am jealous of the iftan who striven to outrank me by unfolr means to exalt himself by his own praise to injure others by evil speech.

I envy the one who has succeeded by toil while I was idling: who has done what I might have done who hss surpassed me in industry and thereby gained what I am without.

I covet splendid health the firm muscle and pearly skin unmarred by disesse untainted by scrofula and disorder the deep full chest and strong throbbing heart tbe bright eye—true wiudow of the soul.

I hate the littleness, the weakness, the mental and physical debauchery of those who are little tempted. I bate to see them self-debased when there is compsratively no incentive in that direction, and when others, born in misery, rise from the ashes of vice like sn scorn sprouting in dust, and rear their heads to heaven even as the young oak sends down its roots to the moisture.

I despise the unanchored soul that has no stand, the ready tongue that says yes to eveiything and again I despise the blind folly of tbe stubborn mind that assents to nothing, that will not be convinced, and stands always on false ground merely because it was first taken.

Tho receipt* for tho sale of tickets go to the benefit of Plymouth Chapel. Mr. Howe has made for the churches near 9350, with his recent lecture*,', and stands pledged to raise 9100 more.

IF a f»w public spirited individual*, with some money wanted to do this town a real service we could show thenv a capital way. There is a small regi-,v ment of dirty, lazy, good-for-nothing loafer? here whose solo end, object, and aim in this life seems to be to beat tbo world out of a living with the least possible amount of exertion to themselves. Astonishing as it may seem, lately these fellows have developed an immenee in-y terest In the Black Illlls.
