G. M. D. Walking down Broadway is very pleasant when you feel well, and T K-—■ never felt better than when his friend asked him how he got over that severe cough of his so speedily. “Ah, iny boy,” said T , “G.

Huntington, the railroad king, in favor of David Stewart, was reversed by the New York Supreme Court.... The police in New York forbid pool-selling on the New Orleans races.... The Rev. Dr. McGlynn, who refused to obey the summons of the Propaganda, has received a second summons still more peremptory than the first, in the shape of a letter from Cardinal Simeoni, the Prefect of the Propaganda, inclosed in another letter to Archbishop Corrigan. The Archbishop wished Dr. McGlynn to call at the Archiepiscopal residence for the letter, but the latter declined, and it was forwarded in the usual May. The letter is kind and conciliatory, but should the priest not change his present disposition soon his case will be finallj r settled, it is said, within a month. Arthub McQuade, the New York Aiderman convicted of receiving a bribe, has been lodged in the Sing Sing Penitentiary. John Gilman Clark, of Worcester, Mass., has given $1,000,000 to that city to found a university, and has already petitioned the Legislature for an act of incorporation. Prof. E. L.

Chicago dispatch: “Captain Black, counsel for the convicted anarchists of Chicago, escorted Miss Nina Van Zandt to the office of the County Clerk, where the lady took out a license to marry August Spies. She stated that she was not to be dissuaded by the rage of her wealthy relatives in Pittsburg, who have disinherited her. But Sheriff Matson, fully appreciating his duty to the public, has concluded to deny her admission to the jail for the future.” Pittsburgh dispatch: “Mrs. Arthur, the aunt of Miss Van Zandt, who seems determined to wed August Spies, the condemned anarchist, was too ill to-day to see any one. The grandfather, Mr. Clarke, is no better. Miss Van Zandt’s denunciation of Mrs. Arthur's remonstrance against the marriage as an ‘unwarranted outrage,’ and her assertion that she did not care for the $400,600 which her aunt was able to bequeath her, has overcome Mrs. Arthur. The scandal has created a sensation in society circles, and is the topic of the hour among all classes.” The bruisers, Sullivan and Cardiff, fought six rounds at Minneapolis, the contest resulting in a draw. In the first round Sullivan struck his opponent on the back of the neck, the blow breaking Sullivan’s wrist, but he continued to battle, not even informing his seconds of the disaster. THE SOUTH. An explosion of gas in the coal bunkers of the British steamer Suez, at New Orleans, fatally burned the second engineer and three Chinese firemen, and dangerously burned three other Chinese. A syndicate of Amsterdam bankers has purchased nine hundred square miles of timber land in Western Florida, on which to found a colony of Hollanders. Albert O’Dell, James Lamb, John T. Echols, and John Stephens were hanged at Fort Smith. Ark., for murders .committed in the Indian Territory. Tne execution passed off quietly. O’Dell and Lamb killed Edward Pollard in December. 1885, and at their trial each tried to convict the other. Echols was a desperado who had killed and robbed several persons. Stephens was an ignorant negro. Since Sentence was pronounced he had claimed to have talked with visitants from the other world, who assured him that his name was written in the “Book of Life.”.... By the legal strangulation, at Richmond, Va., of Thomas J. Cluverius for the murder of Lis cousin, Fanny Lillian Madison, the last chapter was ended of a most sensational crime. The crime was committed to cover up Cluverius’ criminal relations with Miss Madison, who was a relative of President Madison, and the conviction was largely on circumstantial evidence. A car in a freight train laden with cotton was found to be on fire just as the train reached Paducah, Ky. The engineer backed the train onto a side-track and the crew tried to extinguish the flames with hose attachments. All they succeeded in doing, however, was to prevent the fire from spreading to the other cars. While removing the debris of the burned car four dead bodies, charred beyond recognition, were discovered. They are supposed to have been tramps. The car was locked at Memphis, but the men must have entered to their horrible fate through a window in the end, which could have been opened from the outside. The new City Council at Atlanta, Ga., has licensed a large number of wine-rooms. The organ of the Prohibitionists declares the law a failure, and states that whisky and beer are sold about as freely as ever. ■ WANHLHUTOX. A Washington special says: “The citizens of Chicago having contributed SIB,OOO to a fund for the payment of incumbrances now resting upon the home of Mrs. Logan, in this city, Colonel M. M. Parker lately called on her, and obtaining from her a check on Rig^s & Co., paid off the notes. Later in the dav he presented to Mrs. Logan the cancel d notes, and she now owns the house known as Calumet Place, on Columbia Heights, free from all incumbrances. Mrs. Logan’s gratitude was expressed in a letter to William Penn Nixon, of Chicago, thanking him for his efforts, and those who had contributed so generously to *uture comfort. Monday the children .. heirs of General Logan, his son John A. Logan, Jr., and his daughter, Mrs. Tucker, with her husband, Major Tucker, united in a deed conveying all their right and interest as heirs in the house to Mrs, Logan, so that the house is her

property solely. As Gen. Logan died ini testate, this action of the heirs was ol course entirely voluntary. It is expected the movement for a monument to Gen. Logan will originate either with the Grand ' Army posts or the Army of the Tennessee. The latter bodv meets in Detroit in September next, and it is probable that the monument will take definite shape then.” The Second Comptroller of the Treasury has allowed the legatee of Waltei Greyson, a Creek Indian, $32,000 foi money stolen from him in Indian Territory , by three white men.... Secretary Manning, , in reply to a Senate resolution of inquiry, states that at the beginning of this year the several Pacific Railroad compa--1 nies owed the Government $49,302,181 foi interest alone, and at the maturity of the thirty-year bonds the total indebtedness will be $157,372,615.... The House Committee on Invalid Pensions, by a strict party vote, decided to make an adverse report on the bills to pension Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Blair. The ground of opposition is the fact that these ladies did not die from injuries received in the service. POLITICAL. Circuit Judge Ayres, of Indianapolis, rendered a decision on the 17th inst. that Robertson was not legally elected Lieutenant Governor of Indiana, and thereupon granted the injunction asked by Green Smith restraining him from acting as President of the Senate or taking part in the joint convention for the election of United States Senator. The Republicans at once appealed the case to the State Supreme Court. Charles B. Farwell was elected Senator from Illinois by a plurality of 33 votes over William 11. Morrison. Cushman K. Davis was chosen Senator from Minnesota, Eugene Hale from Maine, Geo. Gray from Delaware, Joseph R. Hawley from Connecticut, F. B. Stockbridge from Michigan, George Hearst from California, M. S. Quay from Pennsylvania, and F. M. Cockrell from Missouri. The first ballot for United States Senator in tho Nebraska Legislature resulted: Van Wyck, 44; J. Sterling Morton, 32; Paddock, 12; Weaver, 16; Cobb, 10; besides a few scattering votes. The first ballot for Senator in Massachusetts was as follows: Senate—H. L. Dawes, 11; J. D. Long, 12; P. A. Collins, 14; G. D. Robinson, 2. House—Dawes, 65; Long, 44; Collins, 80; Robinson, 44. The inauguration of Gov. Ross, of Texas, was made the occasion of a grand civic and military display at Austin. The inauguration of Gen. Beaver as Governor of Pennsylvania attracted 15,000 persons to Harrisburg. Pattison, tho retiring Governor, will practice law in Philadelphia. Govs. Green, of New Jersey, and Briggs, of Delaware, were inducted into office on the 18th inst. THE R4ILWAYB. The main points for the sale of 1,424 miles of track by the East Tennessee Road to the Richmond and West Point Comnany have been agreed upon. The parties holding the former are to receive $4,400,000 in cash and 4,000 shares of Richmond stock. .. .An Atlanta dispatch predicts that the State Bailway of Georgia will be,Aaptured at the expiration of *the present lease, by Patrick Calhoun and General Alexander, for tho Richmond and West Point consolidation. The Erie Dispatch line is charged with holding fourteen hundred idle cars in New England, for use by roads in that section. It is believed that the Western lines will soon be compelled to combine against such abuses. The Purchasing Committee of the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific Railway, holding over $4,000,600 paid in assessments, and embarrassed by the demands of the underlying bondholders, has decided to ask the stockholders what course thej’ desire pursued. ^E^'ERAE. Cholera is ravaging the towns in Uruguay and the Argentine Republic, hundreds of deaths occurring daily. Loaded vessels off Buenos Ayres are not allowed to communicate with the shore. The United States Supreme Court has affirmed the decision of the Missouri Supreme Court in the murder case of John Hayes, who was sentenced to death by the Criminal Court in St. Louis, and has been making a hard fight against the verdict. The steamer State of Pennsylvania, while off the banks of Newfoundland on her last trip from Glasgow to New York, was nearly crushed by a pyramidal wave which towered above her smoke-stacks. It came down on the deck just abaft the bridge and swept toward the stern, eariying everything with it. The stout lifeboats were crushed to pieces, and two of them, stocked with a week’s provisions, carried overboard. The huge plate-glass of the skylight was smashed, and tons of water, carrying broken glass and movable articles from the deck above, poured through into the saloon. Many of the saloon passengers were at dinner, and the scene that followed baffles description. The dinner service and portions of the dinner itself were distributed about the room in a most indiscriminate manner, and passengers, frightened out of their wits, thought ths vessel was goirg to the bottom. Women screamed and fainted, and some went into violent hysterics. When the sea receded there was a calm for a moment, and tl en seas rolled in on the vessel, threatening to ingulf her. The deck was a mass of wreckage. The steamer did not leak a drop and rode out the gale that followed. FOREIGN. A cable dispatch says that the Liberal and Irish Nationalist Clubs of London are arranging to hold a great public meeting to express indignation at the inhumanity shown in the recent evictions on the Winn estates at Glenbeigh, County Kerry, Ireland. A Dublin dispatch gives the following particulars of these evictions: Edward O’Graday, a tenant on tho Gabbett estates near Cahercouliah, Limerick, learned that a force of eighteen bailiffs was coming to evict him. With the assistance of neighbors he ent down trees and shrubbery, with which he barricaded the house. Then, with about twenty friends, he proceeded to the upper floor, and cut away the staircase behind him. When the evicting party arrived they stormed tho house with sledge-hammers and bayonets. Ladders were placed against the walls, up which policemen and bailiffs swarmed, but the defenders threw boiling water on their assailants and hurled tho ladders to the ground. After a three hours’ contest the bailiffs finally succeeded iti cutting a hole in the upper floor, through which some of the policemen crawled, while others covered the occupants of the house with rifles. The eviction was then effected, and several persons were arrested. During the excitement the police repeatedly charged and clubbed a crowd of sympathizers that had gathered. Several policemen and citizens were injured. In County Kerry one hundred and fifty policemen and bailiffs, on their way to evict the tenants at Coomashorn, a wild and almost inaccessible glen, found their way stopped by peasants, who had removed tho usual means of crossing the stream near tho glen. While they were making a long detour, the peasant women carried the reporters and other.) who were friendly to the tenants across tho stream on their backs. The police finally arrived, evicted tho tenants, and leveled tho houses with crowbars. The burning of vacated dwellings has been abandoned, owing to Government pressure on landlords. A sheriff and a force of police from Gweedore, while on their way to evict tenants at Bloody Fareland, County Donegal, Tuesday, found tho road blocked with immense granite bowlders, and were obliged to proceed on foot. The blowing of horns and ringing of bells brought together large crowds of peasants, who threatened the police with violence. Ihe police made a strategic move around tho base of the mountain by tho sea, but scouts on the mountain top gave tho alarm, and the peasants, cheering, rushed down the mountain side and blocked tho passage. A constable threatened the crowd with his baton. This was the signal for a showerof stones from the excited peasants. A desperate fight ensued, in which five policemen were badly wounded.

In the German Parliament the army bill was amended by limiting its duration to three years, instead of the seven demanded by the Government, by a vote of 186 to 144. Prince Bismarck immediately read an imperial message dissolving the Reichstag, and a decree was soon issued for general elections on Feb. 21. So deep is the snow in western Scotland that out-of-door labor has been largely suspended... .Russia will close Vladivostock and other North Pacific ports against foreign shipping... .The Belgian army will be mobilized this year. The usual maneuvers will be dispensed with. .... A tenant named Keane, in County Kerry, Ireland, was shot for paying his rent. Lord Colin Campbell has abandoned his intention to move for a new trial of the divorce suit against his wife... .The Belgian Government has prohibited the exportation of horses until needs of the cavalry in the event of war have been covered While the entertainment of a Hebrew dramatic club was in progress at a London theater, some one in the gallery shouted “tire!” the gas at the meter being turned off about the same time. A panic ensued, at the subsidence of which it was found that twelve women and five children had been trampled to death. LATER NEWsYtEMS. Miss Nina Vat Z vndt w.ll not, for a time at least, become Mrs. August Spits, says a Chicago special. Her love affair is traveling the proverbially rocky path, and, owing to the firm stand taken by Sheriff Matson in forbidding the ceremony at the jail, the wedding his been indefinitely postponed. It is acknowledged that that officer is master of the situation, and all parties interested have declared their acquiescence in his decree, although with varying degrees of grace. Every mail brought to that officer many letters, all overflowing with congratulations on Bis position, and encouragement to maintain it. Appended to these were the signatures of some of the leading commercial, professional, and financial men of the city. A good many telegrams found their way to his office, too, bearing messages of the same tenor. The most earnest of these were from the girl’s relatives at Pittsburgh. “ The ceremony is most certainly off,” said Sheriff Matson Wednesday afternoon, “it is settled. I positively shall not admit Miss Van Zandt—that’s all there is of the case. lam acting in accordance with general public sentiment. I have given no especial order, but have simply told the j filer to keep the lady out. Ido not anticipate any action of court in the case. I am the custodian of Spies, and am not obliged to permit any one, except his attorneys, to see him. 1 take the position, under the statute, that no one can get in the jail without my consent. This is only just, because the law holds me responsible for the prisoners.” S. Angier Chace, who nil - years ago embezzled nearly $500,000 from a Fall River mill, of which he was treasurer, has been pardoned from the Massachusetts penitentiary by Governor Ames, on account of impaired health. An Indianapolis dispatch of the 20th inst. says: Beth parties in the Legislature caucused yesterday morning and unpointed conference com mittees to airange a compromise on the subject of the election o. n United States Senator. Heine the hour for the meeting i ' the joint eon vention a compromise was reached bv which it was agreed that Green Smith should call the joint convention together in the House, and that Speaker Sayre should preside over it, while Lieut. Gov. Robertson should i.ot put in un uppema ice. It was also agreed that atn m iubcr wnose name was on th j roll I call of either House on lucs lnx s!io ild be allowed to vote, and the ri ;h' 11 enter i retests against anv vote was reserved to both sides.

Democrat, receiving 73 vet s, II imson. Republican, <l, and Allen, Labor, t. Upon the first roll-call protests were formally made by the Republicans against the votes of four.‘en Democratic members. The Democrats protested against the votes of the entire Kepuolicau minority of the Semite and three members of the House. Ail of these prot sts were entered on the records with a view of their being used as evidence in ease of a contest of the Senatorial seat. Mn. Edmunds, from tho Committee on Foreign Relations, reported a bill to the Senate, ■ inn. 19, to authorize the President of the United States to protect and defend the rights of American vessels. The bill provides that when the 1 resident shall be satisfied that any American fishing vessels are denied any of the rights secured to them by tre ity or law. or are subjected t > unreasonable restrictions in respect to such rights, while visiting the waters or ports of British America, it shall bo the duty of the President by proclamation to deny vessels, their masters and crews, of the British dominions of North America any entrance into waters of the United States, whether they come directly from the Dominion or not. He may also, in his discretion, deny entry into the United States of fresh or salt fish, or any other product or goods of the Dominion The report of the committee accomp mying the bill denies the pretension of Great Britain that American fishing vessels or othe, s have no rights in . inadian waters except at th ■ pleasure of the British Government. The Senate passed u bill appropriating “30 >, io । to expedite the completion of th) Charleston jetties. Senator Hampton introduced a bill to promote the efficiency of the civil service by establishing a retired list. The Presi lent nominated the following Postmasters: Samuel E. Fleming, Huntingdon. Pa.; William H Black. Rochester, Pa. ; Rob -rt L. Foard, Columbus, Texas; <lOllll W. Lingo, Lebanon, Ohio; I’. S. Latsch, Appleton City, Mo. An i ffort to fix a day for the consideration of the Blair educational bill was defeated in the House. Both tho Senate end House passed bills ar.th irizing the construction of a bridge over the Mississippi River at St. Louis. The bill passed by the Senate was so amended as to prohibit the location of the new bridge within two miles of the present structure. Plants of the ‘•Trade” Paper. Some of the most profitable newspaper property in this country is found in the plants of the “trade” paper. A glance at a newspaper directory will convince any one of the completeness with which this field is covered. There is scarcely a trade, or industry, or enterprise that has not its representative journal—either daily, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. Some of these aim to cover all the news points in the trade they represent, and give, besides, general information on the subject, editorial and other comment relative to their particular trade. Others, through neglect, inability, or laziness, have let their advertisements grow up till they have choked out the news features. This is especially true of the older and richer ones. The advertising space invariably increases at the expense of the news columns. The advertising rates are very high, as the price charged for subscriptions is but a nominal one. In fact, many of the magazines distribute a goodly part of their circulation gratuitously—and they can well afford to. The journals of the brewers, iron men, furniture manufacturers, and the railway papers are by far the richest of the hebdomadal newspapers in this city. Most of these were started since the great lire, and have waxed great upon the manufacturers whom they represent.— Chicago News. The largest theater in the world is the new opera house in Paris. It covers nearly three acres of ground; its cubic mass is 4,287,000 feet; it cost about 100,000,000 francs. Always be good-natured if you can; a few drops of oil will do more to facilitate the movement of the most stubborn machinery than rivers of vinegar. Bed-clothing manufactured from paper pulp, strengthened with twine, is one of the latest novelties.

Tho editor of tho Blue Knob Eagle camo to town the other day purposely to make the acquaintance of the editor of the Daily Advocate, Col. Brooks. Brooks had copied so many items from the Eagle that the editor of that sheet knew that he would boa welcome guest. When ho entered the office of the great daily, instead of introducing himself to the editor, he sat down carelessly, chuckling inwardly at the surprise which he would create. After a while he said: “i see that you copy a great deal from the Blue Knob Eagle.” “Yes.” “Rather like its matter, eh?” “Oh, it doesn’t amount to much. You see, I copy it because tho Eagle has so little circulation that no one has seen its stuff, which is consequently new when I get it. If tho paper had any circulation I wouldn’t clip a line from it.” The disappointed editor did not introduce himself. — Arkansaw Traveler. Mu. Jacob Froehlich, a well-known tailor of Cincinnati, 0., after suffering for years with rheumatism, was cured in a short time by the use of St. Jacobs Oil. There is room for tho exercise of charity everywhere—in business, in society, and in the church; but first and chiefest of all is tho need of it at home. Mrs. C. Kellogg, Edgwood, Cal., says: Red Star Cough Cure is the best medicine she has ever used for colds for the children. The biggest cavern is the Mammoth Cave, in Edmonson County, Kentucky. It is near Green River, about six miles from Cave City, and twenty-eight from Bowling Green. The cave consists of a succesion of irregular chambers, some of which aro large, situated on different levels. Some of these are traversed by navigable branches of tho subterranean Echo River. Blind fish are found in its waters. A Genial Restorative. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are emphatically a genial restorative. Tho changes which this great botanic remedy produces in the disordered organization are always agreeably, though surely, progrosssive, never abrupt and violent. On this account it is admirably adapted to persons of delicate constitution and wonk nerves, to whom the powerful mineral drugs are positively injurious. That it initiates those processsos which result in tho ro-establishment of healthful vigor is conspicuously shown in cases where it is taken to overcome that fruitful causf of debility, indigestion, coupled, as it usually is, with biliousness and constipation. Thorough digestion, regular evacuatiou, and abundant secretion, are results which promptly and invariably attend its systematic uso. It is, besides, the best protective against malaria, and a first-rate diuretic. Drawing Carbon Filaments. The little threads of carbon whose heating furnishes the light of incandescent electric lamps, are made in a Glasgow establishment by a process somewhat analogous to wire-drawing. The kitool (Caruotty ureas} fiber, imported from Ceylon frv brush-making, is first drawn to a unKorm size through sharp dies. The threads are then placed in tine copper ♦ubes, and the whole passed through a draw plate, which has the effect squeezing the metal round the fiber and compressing the latter. The tubes *nd filaments are next cut into lengths, then the filaments are carbonized in a crucible. The copper is subsequently dissolved off by means of acid, portions being left to make connections. Dr I iebce’s “Favorite Prescription” is the debilitated woman’s best restorative tonic. A man at Genoa, Ohio, has a clock two hundred years old.
