COL. FILTON, the fsmoas nephew of Tflden, died Thnrsday. FEVTT deaths occurred in New York last Monday from son stroke.

A NOVEL reoeut shipment from New York was four tons of gorgeous posters for the Loudon bill boards, which went oyer with a minstrel oompany.

SARA BERNHARDT, tbe immoral and much praised French actress, has finally engaged to come to this country and give one hundred performances, begin nlng in November next.

HANCOCK denies that he wears oorsets. He says that some years ago he made a solemn oompaet with bis wife to allow her to wear the oorsets If she would permit him tbe exolusive possession of the breeohee.

MVNROK ROBERTSON, sentenced to be hanged at Greenville, Ohio, next Friday, for the murder of Wiley Coulter, says he would be perfectly willing to go, If he oould only get a chance first to murder his wife and children.

WHILE WO have been enjoying comparatively cool weather for tbe season the heat Las been excessive in the East, attended by very fatal oonsequences. On Wednesday there were fifty deaths from this cause in New York alone.

JOB EMMET, tbe tragio comedian has been released from tbe Inebriate asylum and nt last accounts was quite sober. The Dramatic News says Emmet is tbe soberest man when be is sober and the drunkest man when be is drunk, in the United States.

THE Metbodiat ministers of Boston have formally requested the city authorities to oease giving free concerts on Sunday in the public parks, on the ground that such music is "promotive of Sabbath deseoration and injurious to publlo morals."

IT is said that Mrs. Hancock has no ambition to beoome tbe mistress of the Wbite House and has always been opposed to ber husband's oandidaoy for the Presidency. She is one of those exceptional women who are satisfied to let well enough alone.

DR. TANNER has now held out twelve •dsys on air and water, and thinks he has passed the crisis. If he suooeeds in his forty-two daye fast, that girl may ao•oept the offer of the young man who said if she would find the bread be would skirmish around for the water.

Two murderers—Fawcett aud Mul«drow—wore banged recently at Mexloo, Missouri. The stage from which they made their exit was left standing, and when the Democrats ratified tbe nominations it was used as a platform. Will the jDemoerats over there "banc together

GREAT distress is reported in the western portion of Kansas from the drought and failure of crops. Mr. Foster, the agent of the aid oommittee of the State says there are from 25,000 to -45,000 people in a destitute condition. They appeal to the eastern countries for .assistance.

A NEW feature id life Insurance, said to prevail large^r in Chicago, and to a limited extent elsewhere, is the taking oat of policial on tbe lives of members of a firm for tbe flrm'stonefit.

As a critic of literary productions he stood perhape first In the country.

JuDoas Soott and NIbiack, of the Supreme Court, filed their dissenting opinions in tbe cam involving the validity of tbe constitutional amendments, on Thursday, holding that the amendments were duly ratified. The opinions are much better samples of judicial reasoning than that of Judge Biddle which dedated the amendments void.

IT seems a little odd now to look back not many months to the time when Tbe Mail wss obliged strenuously to argue that prosperity wss dawning upon the country, and was met with incredulity and rebuke. To-day the croakers are all silent—or as nearly so ss they ever become,—and tbe country is ss prosperous as ever it was in ante-panic times. Tbe wheels of industry are cheerfully humming and all men who are willing to labor can find work.

THE unfortunate Tilton family still continue to be separated, Mrs. Tilton living with her mother and having ber two sons, Carroll and Ralph with ber. Tbe former is studying for tbe ministry and tbe latter is about to enter on school life. Mrs. Tilton Is supported by her husband. The two dsughters, Alice and Florenoe, are still in Germany, studying music and art, and are visited onoe a year by their father. Mrs. Ulton, it is said, leads a very secluded life.

Nor satisfied with publishing the details of a hanging wbloh took place in Cincinnati yesterday, tbe Times-Star of that oity presented its readers, tbe dsy previous, with picture of tbe scaffold from whloh the execution was to take place. Only a few days before the same paper published an editorial essay on tbe morals of the press, taking advanced ground against the printing of prurient and sensational news. Tbe Times-Star would do well to take a dose of its own medicine.

A NEW and sensible Innovation touoh ing bridal outfits is reported as haviBg been inaugurated in New York. Instead of. lavishing an extravagant amount of money on a costly and elaborate trossesa for the bride and a vastqusntlty of presents that will be out of place in the new home, such olothing and presents are purchssed as are suitable for the station in life wbloh the young people will, tor a time at least, occupy, and the saving thus effected is judiciously invested for the future uses of the bride. This is a reform which oannot too rapidly spread throughout tbe whole ooantry and if it leads the way for a reformation of several other social abuses that are equally obnoxious and injurious it will be well.

FOB many years past Indiunapolis has proclaimed herself to be one of the exceptionally healthy olties of the country. Reokoned on the basis of tbe new census, however, and on the high death rate of the past six months, It appears that her death rate exceeds tbst ot any other oity, New Orleans, Charleston and Augusta alone excepted. This startling revelation has produced a flurry among its citizens and there is much talk of improving the.sanitary condition of the city. Underlaid as it is by a deep deposit of sand and gravel, affording exoellent drainage, there seems to be no good reason why Indianapolis should aot be a healthy city, and if the proper sanitary measures are adopted there Is little doubt but it will be.

THE code still claims an oocisional victim in the South. On last Monday, Col. William Shannon, a respected lawyer of Charleston,

S. C., was shot through

tho heart by Col. Cash, the former being the challenging party. The difficulty grew out of some legal proceedings of Mr. Cash's wife and Shannon was supposed to have reflected on her in some way, whioh he denied to the last. The ohallenge was called out by abusive publications made by Caah in whioh he oalled Shannon a coward. Shannon had previously refused a challenge from another party to the same transaction. The unfortunate man leavee a large and dependent family. The Southerners should curb their fiery tempers or else keep out of law.

THE undertaking of Dr. Tanner, in New York, to fast for forty-two days, has begun to attract much attention, particularly from the medical fraternity. As to the possibility of tbe thing, opinions are divided, the regular profession denying that he can fast that leaf and live, while some of the other sobools claim tbe feasibility of tbe undertaking, that longer fasts than thia have been known. A vigilhnce committee has been instituted to watch him constantly and see that no atom of food ia conveyed to him, and when he began to be annoyed by visitors an admission fee of twenty-five cents wsa charged for a slgbt of him. But it does not appear that tbe object of the fast waa to make money. The doctor baa constant applications of wet towels to Ms heed and wrists, and rinses his month at Intervals with water. Tbe outcome of tbls singular feat will be awai'ed with interest.

A BoflTOtt gentleman of large experience, who has observed how precarious the trades and professions areas compared with the business or

forming, earn

estly advises young men to buy a farm and go in debt for it, having 9100 or 9200 to pay down at the time of purchase. On a $2,000 farm the interest the first year would be about $100, constantly decs seeing after that. Suppose fee term is to be paid for in nine years, that would malm tbe annual payments 9900 each. He argues that by engaging in some outside employment during the winter, such as teaching school, cutting wood, or something else, an euctgoOc young waa can earn enough to pay his notes, and make a living on tbe farm In aummer.

He can also raise a little stock whloh rapidly grows into money. Of course It will be hard work for awhile tmt be says, and says traly, that at the end of ten years such a man, owning his own farm, will be far more independent, prosperous and happy than most merchants, clerks or professional men. "The city clerk or 'counter-jumper,'" the writer adds, "while he may dress well, is comparatively a slave. He owns no home he must go to his work and stick to it as regularly and as constantly as a person at hard labor in a State prison and in some esses is treated as hard, generally, as they are there. A pbysi dan or lawyer is but little better off, unless they are among the few who attain to fame and wealth. By the introduction ot labor saving maehlneryr the whole aspect of farming has changed within a few years, and It is time people gave up their old time prejudices, wbloh were well founded onoe, but are now a libel on what a farmer's life may be."

These are tbe words of a man who has bad experience In bothphassaof life, "having gone in debt for a farm before he was of age," and are in line with what The Mail has frequently urged.

LITERARY WORK,

In looking over the reviews of current literature ene is astonished at the large number of new books, particularly in the domain of fiction. There is lltetaUy no end of new novels. They oome from the presses in a ceaseless grist. A few are good, some are Indifferent, and more, perhaps are bad. Of the many that are produced each season, a dozen, may be, are successful, while the rest are dismal failures. Nothing is better known than this, and yet the work of literary production goes on without stint. rr

If it be inquired why this is so there are several answers. In the first plaoe, tbe accessibility of the wtrk oommends. it to popularity. There Is no speolal pre vlous training necessary. Given a pen, ink and* paper, and yan have all the materials requisite for the production of "MJddlemarch" or "David Copperfield" —except the ability to write It, and that is to be determined only by experiment. As one never knows what he can do until he tries, the possible novel Is not to be hooted down the wind until failure has demonstrated the futility of effort. Nobody osn be blamed for not wishing to be a "mute, inglorions Mil ton" In this day of literary sunshine, when princely rewards awaits the sue cessful writer, and it is pleasant to be lleve that that kind of Miltons are now exceedingly rare.

And, I secondly, ,|f the prizes ore tew and far between, still the tickets oost little but time and effort, and one oan Well afford to expend these for the ohanceB of drawing a prize* At least many persons appear to take thia view of the case, hence their novels. Now and then writers of genius have suddenly stepped from obscurity into feme, and as there will doubtless be cases of that kind in the future also, snd4t is impossible to see or esy who the genius is until he has revealed himself, the safest way is for everyone te suspect himself of being a genius in disguise until tbe contrary Is established—a thlug whloh happens usually with the advent of tbe first novel.

Again, there are those who are impelled Into tbe realms of literature by the pressure of poverty. They need money and need It badly. A quiet, congenial manner of getting It Is to write. Some have succeeded, notably Fanny Fern.

Literature is, however, much more of an art than many persons imagine. Its best products are, for the most part, the result of years of discipline and toil There mast be the nataral instinct, of course, but this must be supplemented by wide reading and oareful training, How many noted authors have written first books which brought them no fame and of whioh tbey were speedily ashamed. No writer does his beet work at first. It Is the lruitof his riper years, after his faculties have been shsrpened, enlarged and strengthened by repeated efforts. Generally those who sucoeed begin early and devote years of toil and study to their chosen pursuit. There are exceptional cases, however, of persons who have made literature an inci dent, rather than the main work of their llvee, and been anooessful. But even these have given It much time and labor.

ORIGIN OF THE DARK HORSE. In answer to Inquiry, tbe Cincinnati Enquirer thus tells of the origin of the term "dark horse

Many years "befo' do wah" there lived in Tennessee an old chap named 8am Fiynn who traded in horses, and generally contrived to own a speedy nag or two which he used for racing purpoees whenever he could pick up a "soft matoh" during his travels. The beet of his flyers was a coal black stallion named Dusky Pete, who was almost a thoroughbred, and able to go In the best of company. Flynn was accustomed to saddle Pete when approaching a town, and ride him into it, to give tbe impression tbat tbe animal was merely a "likely hoes," and not a flyer. One day he came to a town where a country race meeting was being held, and be entered Pete among tbe oentsstanta. The people of tbe town, ml knowing anything of his antecedents, and not being overly impressed by his appearance, backed two or three local tevorites heavily against him. Flynn moved quietly among tbe crowd, and took all tbe bets that were offered against his nag. Just as the "flyers" were being saddled for the race, old Jadge MeMlnarnee, who was the turf oracle tor tbat part of the State, arrived on the course, and was made one of the lodges. Aa be took his place in the stand he was told how the betting r«L, and of the tolly of the owner of the strange entry in becknx his "plug" so heavily. Running his ieye over the rack, the Judge Instantly recognised Pete, and be aaid, "Gentlemen, there's a dark horse in this xaee tbat will make some of yon email hall

before supper." The Judge was right. Pete, tbe "dark horee," laid back until tbe three-quarter pole wee reached, wben he went to the front with a rush, and won tbe parse and Flynn's bets with the greateet ease. Ever after tbat tbe horsemen of the or the vicinity fought sky of "dsrk horses." snd it would be well If political parties would do likewise.

WILD WALTZING.

A NEW FASHIONABLE DANCE THAT IS LIKE A URiECO-ROMAN WRESTLING MATCH.

N. Y. Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer. Anew style of round dandngls Intro duced for every summer, and the one for 1880 is now being taught by the masters. I am learning It of an expert. It is awaits with tbe familiar waltz time and step for a basis, but with oertain characteristics that make it remarkable. Last year the innovation was a sliding step, that was a sore trial to abort legs, ana very difficult to do gracefully. It is a modification of the muoh abused "Boston dip," which in turn was a departure from tbe steady circling waltz previously in vogue. Thus danoers have -been steadily abandoning the quiet ways of former years, and now we have what must in reason be accepted as the culmination. Propriety oan no further go in the direction of the ballet. It has no distinctive name tbat I have beard It Is danced by main atrengtb, allied to agility, and grace is a seoondary consideration. Many do dance it graoefully. but that Is owing to their own natnral esse of movement. I have broken three corset steels in two evenings practice, bnt am getting on.

In its perfection thie dance may be de scribe as follows: The man ia tall, musoiilsr, and agile the woman Is slender, willowy, and wholly subjective to the movemonte of ber partner. He ea circles her in bis right arm, not around her wsist, but just bellow her shoulders. With his left band he clasps her right, and holds it on bis left hip. This brings ber exceedingly close to him and she is kept snugly in thst position, notonly l£k because he likes it, but beoause if be does, not have a strong hold of her he cannot take her safely through the dance. The danoing must begin instantly on tbe couple oomlng together, and a false step at the atart la a heinous terpsiohorean offence. The steps are those of an ordinsry waits, elongated to a surprising extent, and acoompanled by a swsyurf movement from side to side, and frequent reversals, all to rapid muslo. Tbls carries tbe oouple hers and there, now this way and now that, with swiftness. Their oourse about the room is erratic, and their bodies sway in perfect acoord. giving them, in connection with tho long, quick steps, an appearance of reckless abandon never before seen in social dancing. A dozen pairs thus engaged are auemarkable exhibit. A few years ago, when hoope were worn, suoh a dance would not have been modestly possible. Yielding her person Implicitly to the guldanoes of her stalwart partner, the woman Is flung round ana round, her feet barely touching the floor. The violenoe of the exercise Is excessive, and for a summer dance this one will prove decidedly unsuitable. Poetloslly, the womsa will oome out of It In a rosy glow, with her eyes flashing, and ber breitn making sighs. Practically, her dress waists will be spoiled, tbe powder on her face will be melted, and she will gasp for brestb. If lithe, undulating girls dance this waltz in Jerseys—the skin tight oostumes tbat are ooming in—tbe sight will be rather startllngly like the famoua dance of the Nautoh girls

This dance is the poetry of motion in reckless meter, as I have described and experienced it but it must not be supposed tbat it will be always or even generally danced in that way.

I THEORY OS CYCLONES. Prof. Tlce of St. Louis Is of the opinion tbat all oyolones are not wind storms, but "eleotricial storms." He faes but recently examined tbe track ot tbe Marsbfield tornado and says it wfi» not attended by wind, and is satisfied that the evidence of the eleotriosl nature of the storm cannot be controverted, Tbe fact that every metal roofed building within the traok of the storm wafi torn to fragments or utterly destroyed, while those constructed of shingles remained uninjured would, seemingly, prove the correctness of tm theory advanoed by Prof. Tlce. He says a mill, situated nearly half a mile distant from the center cyclone, had lta iron chimney torn out entirely and oarried a lm distance while the mill was in no other respect dsmaged. The cupola of the poblio school building, at Marsbfield, whioh had a tin roof, was wrecked, but the main building being roofed with shinglee, wss not in other respects injured.

He regards as still more remsrkable and conclusive tbe electrical phenomena as manifested in its action upon the trees and shrubs over which the tornado psss ed. Tbe bark from tbe trees and bushes was literally stripped, not only from their sides feeing tbe storm, bnt equally so on all sides. The branches were denuded of their leaves and hark not only, but were rifted into fibers, "presenting the appearanoe of little brooms." He Insists tbat tbe only agent tbat could effect this undressing of the treee, IS electricity, and not tbe wind. Under its influence the ssp wss instantly converted Into gas, the explosion of which unbarked and shattered the trees and split tbe green twigs into splinters. Dead trees and dry limbs and twigs were not affected, and though In Immediate contact with green ones, remained Intact."

TBE NEW WALTS. Ind. Jour.

The new Style of waltzing, SStkracticed by tbe young ladies and gentlemen of tbia city, in intrioste contortion sets, eiceeds anything ever before attempted here in tbat line. It is a sort of bound-ing-billows four-steps-to-the-right-oome-gentle-spring movement, that defies description, bnt Is withal quite graceful and pretty.

NOTES BY THE WAY.

IJRTBBFROM XBS. RIDDLE. Nnw YORK^June 39.

Our excursion, consisting of forty-two in number, moetly residents of Indianapolis, with a few persona from the several pieces—Danville, Lafayette and Terre Haute—left our city on tbe midright train, Thursday morning, June 24th, for New York city. We made a short stay in Indianapolis, then off again for Cincinnati, where we remained most of the next day. After securing passage on board tbe steamer Boetonia for Huntington, Ya., aa I was worn out after my tiresome ride I remained on the boat, whilst many of our party went up into the city and visited the Fountain, which, lh my judgment, Is the flneet in the West, or I believe tbe largeetin the United Statesmand various other plaoeeof Internet. We left Cincinnati about 4 o'clock p. m., and were all night on the boat and until late In tbe day on Friday. Bspecial praiee Is dne the captain ana officers of the boat for the uniform kindness shown the gueete In the way of real oom forts showered upon ue while on our peseage. So pleassnt wssonr journsyoa the boat, that when we arrived at Hantlngton we were loth to exohangefor a ride on the cars. Onoe abosrd, however, we were aoon interacted in tbe grand mountain scenery between Huntington and Richmond, Ya. All along thie route the eoenery is truly romantic. Language fails to oonvey to the mind tbe great beautlee here painted by nature. Moun tains rearing their lofty heads to tbe clouds, crowned with shrubs and flowers—the sun peering through the leavee and casting the various ahadee of green and the light haze, as It seemsa smoke— a veil—over tbe whole, while at tbe foot of the mountains flows tbe oleer stream over rocks of ponderous size, fosmlng snd dashing slong,—tbe only sppearanoeof energy and perseverance one can dlaoernln thlaoountry, where the labor Is all performed by the blscks—a poorly dad and unintelligent class of people.

Myeelf and traveling companions wrote pagee of history for onr future reference, and learned many leesoasof wisdom from onr experiences durin our trip. We were not troubled wit duet, for the soil is so poor, tbe Inbsbitutilize every grain, and even then ere not able to realise any deal red results but a miserable ehow of crops. Were I a criminal and deelroas of secreting myself from the vigilance of the law, I would seek to bury myeelf in this seclusion. However, it would be well to have a supply of food along, for if not starvation would follow. Everywhere the white men are to be eeen with hands on their hipe, poised for a reet as if from tilling the lends, but no fruits of their labor are visible. Small log hots habited by blacks, olose to the foot of the moantains, In some places giving way to new farm tenemente evidently built since our lste war, showing plainly the colored man, unshackled by elavery'a blightening influenoe, aspiring to redeem thie country so long cursed bv tbat great moral evil. Occasionslly a fine reeidence looms up nestled smong the trees, with tbe surroundings of luxury and wealth, but the produots of tbe soli—oom and wheat—promise anything but an abundant harvest.

The above le a description of Esstern Virginia, of whichSCharieston ia the cspital. West Virginia has a richer soil, and some portions of the Slate are very productive—for instance, tbe blue grass country.

We finally arrived at Richmond, and took our quarters at the Exchange, the beet hotel in the city. When we were eompeled to wslk npthe long stairways, —no elevators being used in tbe house— I thought of "Jooiah Allen's wife in New York" and felt tbat I, for one, would not objeot to being carried up, even by a negro. Richmond is the capital, and the grounds are well laid out. having the appearanoe of a beautiful

)ark. We found it a delightful retreat the Intense heat, ana passed most of our time during our stay admiring Its beautlee. Wltbln tbecapitol building is a fine library, and a collection of very ancient oil paintings of persons connected with the early history of our oountry. In a show esse Is tbe American flag of 1776, also the pick used by John Brown. Richmond hss not yet reoovered from tbe shock It reoelvea during the rebellion. We remained here all night and next morning took the steamer Manhattan up tbe James River. The Indians catted this river Fowhstan or Kings river, but tbe English under Newport and Smith gave It the name of Jsmes, In honor of their sovereign King James I. The month of the river le nesrly three milee in breadth, the length to its sfflux into Chesapeake Bay being about 960 miles. At several points the river winds so muoh tbst Its trsckls horseshoe shaped, snd vessele separated by several milee of river travel are only a short distance from each other by sir lino. Steamers now go through called Dutch Gap Instead of rounding Fsrvars Islsnd. The river makes along sweep around the neck of lend known as Farvars Islsnd. seven milee of travel are saved by goiiig through the gep. Gen. B. F. Butler in 1864 undertook to out the canal through the narrow neck with tbe object of allowing tbe Fedral gunboats to evsde the heavy batteries on Howlette JBluff.

We passec on to Norfolk where we remained moet part of a day.

Norfolk hss a population of 25,000 snd Is the second ooUon port in tba United S'stes. Tbe Eltzebeth river divides Norfolk and Portsmouth, the two cities are celled tbe "Twin sisters by tbe See." In tbe evening we struck oat sgstn, wben onoe upon tbe broed Atlantic many disappeared from deck—reaeon why, sea sick, myself among tbe victims.
