Resolutions Adopted by the Convention at Washington. The National Convention of third and fourth class Postmasters in session at Washington adopted a series of resolutions as the basis of a bill to be hereafter formulated and presented to Congress. The principal features are that third-class Postmasters shall be allowed all the revenue from box rents; that the expense of rent, fuel, and light shall be borne by the Government, and that third-class offices shall be allowed an amount sufficient to employ a competent clerical force to properly conduct the business of the office. It is recommended that the rent, light, and fuel allowance of fourth-class offices be made on the following basis: On a salary of SSO per- year and not exceeding SIOO, $25; over $l5O and less than S3OO, SSO; over S3OO and less than SSOO, $75; over SSOO and uot less than $750, $100; over $750 and less than SI,OOO, $l5O. It is also recommended that clerk hire be allowed in separating offices where marls are separated for other offices, as follows: One mail per week, $lO per year; two mails per week, S2O; three mails per week, S3O; one mail daily, S6O; two mails daily, $100; three mails daily, $150; four mails daily, $250; live mails or more daily, S2OO. LICENSE WINS IN BOSTON. A Temperance Defeat in the Hub—O’Brien Re-elected Mayor. The vote polled in the municipal election in Boston aggregated 51,487, which is larger than any municipal vote since 1883. Os this number O’Brien (Dem.) received 26,621, and Hart (Rep. and Ind.) 24,866, the labor vote failing to materialize. There have been several changes in the making of the Board of Aidermen, the new Board standing 8 Republicans and 4 Democrats, being a gain of two members by the Republicans. The Common Council will stand 43 Democrats and 29 Republicans, the same as last year. The city voted lor license by over 8,000 majority. MOB VIOLENCE. Two Negroes Tortured and Lynched at Dado City, Florida, by Infuriated Whites. A special from Dade City, Florida, says Dick Hines and Charley Metz, colored, were lynched there Tuesday for assaulting Mrs. Oberry and her daughter, living near Owensboro. When arrested the negroes confessed their crime and begged for mercy, but were speedily lynched. No particulars can be learned save that they were tortured before being strung up, and the ropes were so arranged that they slowly died of strangulation. Their bodies were left hanging, and it is reported they were afterward riddled with shot.

CROWN PRINCE WORSE. A New Growth Discovered in the Patient's Throat. A San Remo dispatch says: “The doctors in examining the Crown Prince discovered symptoms of a fresh growth and an increase in the swelling. A special consultation of medical experts was determined upon. Dr. Mackenzie will attend at the request of the Crown Prince.” A London dispatch says that Dr. Mackenzie has started for San Remo, where he will make anc her examination of the Crown Prince’s diroat. What Gen. Manley Says. In an interview at New York, Postmaster Manley, of Augusta, Maine, an intimate friend of Mr. Blaine, is reported as saying: “I have no question but Mr. Blaine will be nominated at Chicago, and by acclamation, because Republicans in every section of the land regard his nomination as the strongest one that can be made. Os course I do not know what Mr. Blaine will do, but I believe he is too milch of a patriot and too good a Republican, whatever his private wishes and desires may be, to decline such a call made upon him.” Drowned in the Missouri. While crossing the Missouri River, twenty miles below Bismarck, Dak., a family consisting of Charles Whalen, wife, and daughter were drowned. They lost the road, and the team passed so near a large air-hole that the ice broke. The bodies have not been found, and it is not likely that they wdll be, as they have been carried under the ice. • ' The committee report on the West Virginia contested election case was unanimously adopted by the Senate on the 14th inst., and the oath of office was Administered to Mr. Faulkner. Mr. Morrill addressed the Senate at some length on his bill relating to foreign immigration, the principal object of which, ho explained, was to have the character of the immigrants examined by the United States Consul at the port of departure. He stated that nearly one-third of the population of the country was composed of foreigners, and expressed a doubt as to the possibility of transforming them into good American citizens. Among the bills introduced in the Senate were the following : By ®Mr. George, to protect innocent purchasers of patented articles; by Senator George to annex the public-land slip south of Indian Territory to the Territory of New Mexico; also, a bill to appropriate $1(16,000 for the erection of a public building at Vicksburg, Miss. Senator Butler introduced with slight amendments the bill reported from the Committee on Improvement of the Mississippi River last session, and known as the Cowden outlet bill. It is entitled “A bill to make the Lake Borgne outlet, to improve the low-water navigation of the Mississippi River from New Orleans to Cairo, and incidentally to reclaim and protect the valley lands of the Mississippi from overflow without levees.” The House was not in session. EAST. A Pittsburgh telegram says that President Smith, of the Flint-glass Workers’ Association, has ordered a general strike of the tableware workmen. The strike is against the rules and scale adopted by the manufacturers. The strike affects "1,400 men and causes a suspension of work in nineteen factories. A New York special says: “Reports received at the Metal Exchange regarding the work of the fire in the famous Calumet and Hecla copper mines were of a most discouraging nature. According to these reports the fire has so extended as to destroy the supports in the main shaft, and the walls and about an acre of the mine have caved in. Fire and flames are now bursting up from all parts of the mine, and all hope of saving the property is now said to be given up. A new shait, from 3,200 to 3,600 feet in depth, will now be required to put the ruin in working order, and this will he a process requiring two or three years.” Henry S. Ives, the brilliant but erratic financier, has been arrested in New Yorkon a charge of converting to his own use a draft for SIOO,OOO which came into his possession as trustee for the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad. His bail, which was fixed at $25,000, was furnished by his sister.

D. DeCastro Co., of New York, shipping and commission merchants, failed for about $1,000,060, three-fourths of which is due in South and Central America. The assets are heavy. WEST. John Arensdore, whoso two trials at Sioux City, Town, for the murder of Rev. Mr. Haddock have excited widespread interest, has been acquitted on the second trial. The farm residence of Michael Harris, fourteen miles from Wessington, Dak., was destroyed by lire, and Mrs. Harris and six children were burned to death. Mr. Harris and one daughter escaped. The death is reported from Whatcom, W ashington. Territory, of the Rev. I. S. Knlloch, who has long been a prominent figure on the Pacific coast. Ho was elected Mayor of Sau Francisco on the workingmen’s ticket in 1879. During the campaign he was shot by Charles DeYoung, at that time editor of the Chronicle, the dispute growing out of a number of personal attacks made by both parties. A few months later Kalloch’s son went to the Chronicle office and shot DeYoung dead, and was afterward acquitted of the charge of murder. At the close of his term of office as Mayor, Kalloch moved to Washington Territory, where he had since resided. The jury in the Harper case at Cincinnati found the defendant guilty as charged in the indictment, and he was sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. A Cincinnati telegram thus describes the closing scene of the trial: Junge Sage asked it the defendant bad anything to say before sentence was pronounced upon him. Mr. Blackburn arose and announced that the defendant v ishod to speak through him and to say that he had nothing to add to what had been said, except to thank the court for its fair and impartial treatment, and to ask that the court be as merciful as tho circumstances and the law would p rmit. The court directed Harper to stand up. It was a most distressing scene. The strong man stood erect, with tears coursing down his cheeks,/ but no other sign of emotion save his blanched face. Behind his chair, with bowed head, sat his wife, in an agony that had no better manifestation than tho wringing of her hands. Tears diil uot come to her relief. Miss Matthews, far more demonstrative, still suppressed sobs, and in her own distress reached over to try to comfort her sister with n touch. So thov sat, while the court, with improsivo solemnity, recited the usual form of sentence, saying that the evidence left no doubt of the defendant's guilt and that the offense merited the highest penalty of the law, which the Court would impose- ten years in tho Ohio Penitentiary—with the order that the Marshal convey him thither at once. Still no outcry. Mr. Harper sat down. Turning to his wife, their lips met, her hands were around his neck, h'S arms encompassed her. The silence in the court-room was awful. Jurors wept, women and men all over the court-room wore in tears. The silence was broken by Mr. Blackburn making a last request from the Court. That was that the order for immediate imprisonment be suspended, and gave as a reason that there was much business to be attended to by Mr. Harper, in which his wife was closely concerned, and it would be exceedingly difficult to attend to it unless Mr. Harper could remain here for a few days. But the court was relentless. Judge Sage said there would be an opportunity for his wife to see him in Columbus, and lie repeated the order to tho Marshal to convey him thither, A Chicago dispatch says: "Tho building at the northwest corner of Adams street and Fifth avenue, which was owned by Edwin H. Sheldon, and occupied by I’helps, Dodge & Palmer, wholesale boot and shoe dealers, was completely ruined by fire Monday night. The loss on the building is placed at $115,000; insurance, $85,000. Phelps, Dodge A Palmer estimate their loss at $600,000, and say that it is about covered by the insurance. Adjacent property was damaged to the extent of $5,000.

SOUTH. A PASSI^GER train on the St. Louis, Arkansas, and Texas Railroad was stopped about midday between Texarkana and Hope by three train robbers and the express car rifled of its valuables. A Texarkana dispatch gives the following particulars of the affair: H. J. Johnson, the postal clerk on duty at the time, says that as the train was moving out of Geneva Station he saw three rough-looking men board the engine and ho knew something was wrong, so he blew out the lights in his compartment and locked the doors. The express messenger did the same thing. The three robbers wore armed with Winchester rifles and pistole, They ordered the doors opened, and tijed several shots through the windows. They then used a pickax, and Johnson tired ono shot through the window, which was answered by a volley. The express mesenger opened his doors, when a light was struck andh search by the robbers was begun. Johnson doesn’t know accurately, but thinks tbo robbers must have got $10,009. The leader was much agitated. The conductor opened the door and was fired on. There was a panic among the passengers, who seemed paralyzed with fear. Great excitement prevails in the region of the robbery. After the robbery officers were soou on the ground, and two of them had a running fight with the robbers for about a mile and a half. One robber lost his hat and cartridge-box. Another was wounded, as shown by blood along the trail. The men were all mounted. The officers were pursuing them with bloodhounds, and are scouring the country in every direction. Cruse Roderiquez was hanged at Uvalde, Texas, for the murder of Pancho Garcia. He protested his innocence on the trap. Roderiquez had been a brave soldier in several Mexican revolutions, and was highly’ esteemed by his commanders. He asked that be might be shot by a file of men, saying that he had always been a soldier, and wanted to die a soldier’s death. To the last he refused to wear the black cap, and was hanged without it. Three children who were locked up at home by- their parents near Point Pleasant, W. Va., were burned to death in the house, which was entirely destroyed by fire. This is the third case of the kind that has happened in that vicinity within a year. A courageous young woman of Cabell County, West Virginia, shot a negro burglar, who had effected an entrance into her father’s house, as he was trying to make his escape through a window. The shot was fired at random, but fortunately it penetrated the fellow’s brain. WASHINGTON. From Secretary Whitney’s annual report we glean that— Appropriations for the Navy Department for the last fiscal year amounted to r 13,189,000, and the balance available at the end of that period was $931,800, which had been reduced by Dec. 1 to $164,500. The appropriations for the current fiscal year amount to -26,182.000, and the estimates for the year ending June 30, 1859, to $23,427,900. All the unarmored vessels authorized by Congress are completed or in course of construction. They and the contract cost of their bulls and machinery are: The dispatch vessel Dolphin, $315,000; the protected crusier Boston, $619,000; the protected cruiser Atlanta, $617,ooo; the protected cruiser Chicago, $889,001; the protected cruiser Charleston, $1,017,600; the protected cruiser Baltimore, $1,325,000; gunboat No. 1 (cruiser;, $155,000; gunboat No. 2 (cruiser), $247,000; the protected cruiser Newark, $1,218,001; protected cruiser No. 4, $1,350,000; protected cruiser No. 5. $1,128,(00; gunboat No. 3 icruiser;, $490,000; gunboat No. 4 (cruiser), 8499,161; dynamite cruiser (including dynamite guns, etc.), $350,000; first-class torpedo boat, $32,750. Os the two armored vessels authorized by Congress one is now being built by William John in En gland. The completion of the double-turroted monitors will be delayed until the Bethlehem plant can furnish the annor. Os coast and harbor defense, for which Congress appropriated $2,000,000, the Secretary says little has been done. The Secretary does not believe in repairing the single-turreted monitors and using them for coast defense. “An examination of their characteristics.” he says, “shows that outside of the ships in our own navy no antagonist could probably be found against which they could stand for a moment. They were good vessels for their tine but lire entirely obsolete,” and he adds : “It would be little less than murder to send men in these at the present time to encounter auv recently built ironclad. iappreciate fully that it is only ns a temporary expedient that it is suggested, > and with the thought that in the absence of anything else, these might be better than nothing. This has been the theory upon which over 000,000, and probably $75,006,000, has been spent uime the close of the war It in t.me to stop it and be content onlv with the host. Il every dollar is made to count upon something of real value, waste will stop, and not b olero The rest of the report is devoted to u detailed description of tl e condition mil situation 01 toe several vessels belonging to our navy, to the ro-

ccipts ana expenditures of the department (n. balance of $161,592.22 on hand and available on Dec. 1), to estimates and appropriations for next year (over $2,000,000 less than for the current year), to sales made of naval vessels, to developments made in speed of vessels throughout the world, and to reports of tho Admiral and tho several bureaus of tho department. The recent trouble with tho Anarchists in Chicago and tho prosecution of John Most in New York, says a Washington telegram, has suggested tho preparation of a bill, which will be introduced in the House of Representatives by the Hon. George E. Adams of Chicago, providing for the expulsion of dangerous aliens from the territory of the United States. POLITICS. Tiie next Republican National Convention will bo held in Chicago, June 19 next This decision was reached by the National Committee in Washington last week. The final vote by which tho result was reached was as follows: Chicago, 25; Omaha, 1; Cincinnati, 13; Minneapolis, 8. A Washington dispatch says: Every conceivable argument against Chicago was used. Combinations were attempted, but through tho superior skill and adroit management of Chicago's representatives, every one of whom worked with earnestness, the others were driven from the Held, and that city was triumphant, Tho Cincinnati and Minneapolis people worked tho hardest. Philadelphia did not make much of a struggle after all. Those who .supported her, or many of them at least, really favored Chicago, and their light was a feint to obtain more liberal promises in regard to hotel and headquarters facilities and rates than might otherwise have been obtained. There are people who assert that this is really the secret to the whole business. They say that if Chicago had been allowed to run away with tho convention without u show of a tight tho hotels there would have been at liberty to make any charges thov pleased, while now they are bound not to increase their regular rates. The London correspondent of the New York World, whoso relations with Mr. Blaine are confidential, and who always speaks by the card when be talks of that gentleman, telegraphs to his paper tho interesting information that, since the message of President Cleveland. Mr. Blaine has decided to become a candidate for the Presidency. Henry George has definitely decided not to boa candidate for tho Presidency next year, and not to put the Labor party into the campaign. In an intervi, wat New York ho declared that he was not in favor of going into a national campaign for a number of causes, but particularly because of the expense of a national campaign. He is in favor of any party which will declare in favor of free trade. FOREIGN. It is semi-officially announced that the reports in the Austrian and German papers regarding the movements of Russian troops are inexact, says a cable dispatch. Since the Czar’s return from Copenhagen no order has been given for the reinforcement of the troops on the Galician frontier. The recent movements of troops were made in compliance with orders issued over a year ago, including the transfer of the Orenburg division of cavalry, which was recently effected. The formation of the Tirard Ministry was brought about by the threat of M. Carnot to resign if M. Tirard refused to go ahead with tho task. It is now called “Carnot’s c^inet.” The organ of M. Clemenceau another radical organs make x 10lent attacks on the new Government, which it is expected will collapse after tie holidays. President Carnot in his message to the Chambers says: "The Government desires to give consideration to measures at fecting labor, public hygiene, and national thrift, and it especially wishes to study how to improve the financial condition, to effect an equilibrium between revenue and expenditure, and to simplify the administrative and judicial systems. The government is also desirous to give a large share of attention to the land and sea forces. It is for tho Chamli Ts, ’ continues the message, “to endow tue government with power to execute this programme, which will secure lor the country a lasting era of peaceful and fruitful activity, and thus give Europe a pledge of the ardent desire of France to strengthen the general pear, and assist in the development of good relations between the Powers.” The message was well received.

GENERAL. I A New York telegram says that appli- । cation was made to Judge Lawrence in the Supreme Court for the admission to bail of Johann Most, in whose ease an appeal ■ has been taken from the judgment of the । Court of General Sessions. The applica- ! tion was granted, and Most was released on | $5,00(1 bail. Mrs. Hoffman became his j surety. Some astounding disclosures have been made at Montreal in connection with the arrest of John Fancy, Chief of the Dominion Detective Agency, an ex-detective named Naegele, and Constable Bureau, late of the Grand Trunk force. The specific charge against them is the robbing of the safe at Bonaventure Station, and it appears that they had planned several big operations of a similar nature. It is said that the criminal practices of Fahey and Naegele reach back through a period of ten years or more. The so-called national parly among the Cherokees which has been left out in the cold by the Downing nien has appealed to the United States Government. A Commissioner will be sent from Washington to investigate and adjust the dispute over the recent election. MARKET REPORTS. NEW YORK.

Limit to THti| Dogs Can Bo Trained. There was a uo collie, called Nero. Like some oth jogs of my acquaintance, he was i tiie habit of going to tho butcher’s eq t morning with his master, who ahva, gave. Nero bis purchases in a fish asket to bo by him carried homo. Ol it occurred to the master that N^ might as well be taught to go to mar»t by himself. So he began eacli mornir t 0 gay tlie word “Butcher” very sok-mly to Nero immediately before settig o U t, to which word Nero gravely stoned, slowly wagging his tail the wilt. This went on for a few weeks clock work regularity. Then camo u vo t day. Noro was given his basket a usual, with a note in it asking the butter—who had been warned beforchand-to exchange it for a pound of steak, qd taken to tho door. Then his raflter said to him, “Butcher,” enuneiatib- the word even more solemnly than u na l. Nero looked thoughtful, and hesiated. He was then motioned oil ii tho accustomed direction. Ffesqtly ho went a few steps and lookq' back. “Butcher, Nero, butcher,” ..peated his instructor, and eventually Jog, after two or three false starts, y>nt off with a rather dejected appearanG, and my friend wont indoors to await result. In due time Nero returned vith tho steak, and for a year or two a!,erward went to the butcher’s alibst daily, always bringing back his prchases without mishap. There used to be a large black rtriever belonging to one of the sailor at Greenhithe wh eh I knew well. Thii dog was always to be seen on oi near tho little landing stage, and hi

always “begged” to strangers. 'Those who understood used to give him a penny, with which ho ran off to a little shop near at hand, whence he speedily returned with a large biscuit in his mouth. This he always brought to the donor of tho penny, or else to his master, never attempting to eat it until permission was given him. This, like Nero, was a dog which might have been taught much, lie may be at Greenhithe still, for aught I know to tho contrary; but it is some years since 1 have been there myself. So many stories have been current during recent years of canine sagacity that one is prepared to believe a good deal with regard to tho doings and sensible proceedings of the “friend of man.” A curious story of this kind has lately been told by the secretary of King’s College Hospital, London. Ho states that the porter in charge of the entrance hall was one lay lately attracted by tho loud barking of a dog at the door of the hospital. He found there three dogs, one very much injured and exhausted by loss of blood, and two others, who, it seems, had attracted the porter’s attention by their barking, evidently friends of his. with nothing particular the matter with them, for they ran away as soon as their object was accomplished. The injured dog had apparently cut his foot with a pieceof glass, and he was traced by blood-marks to the spot where tho accident happened. From this track it was dear that the animal had come by the shortest possible ent to tho hospital, his two fr ends accompanying him to call attention to his condition. ('hambers' Jouma .

Their Sting I* Lone. Heaped upon a table in the office of the Humane Society at the City Hall is amass of cruel-lookir.g wliips, clubs, and cudgels. Tags are being glacmi upon them, telling from whom they were taken, and the whole lot is to be shipped to Rochester. N. Y., to be placed on exhibition during the session in that city of the Ameriean Humane Society. Some of the weapons of torture are particularly savage in their construction. There is a whip taken from a ear-driver on < >ntario street. I he device consists of a hea. > hickory handle with a stout rope attached. The latter is tied into knots, oiled, and waxed to make them hard. ' here is j another whip there with wire wound 1 into the lash, and with an iron rod in the handle. When the agent of the Humane Society took this from a red-faced citizen, the latter was hammering a horse over the head with the heavy end. I'he horse's crime was inability to haul an unusually heavy load up a slippery hill. There is a hickory club there two inches thick, five feet long, and as heavy as iron. A man intrusted with the care of hprses was pounding an animal with this brutal ' weapon, because it could not haul an overloaded wagon up ( ommercial street hill. There is a piece of water-pipe there, and this had also been used in beating a horse. Some of the weapons of torture taken from fatlrers, mothers, or guardians, can scarcely be looked at without a shudder. The knowledge that they have been placed beyond the reach of men and women brutal enough to use them seems a sufficient guaranty that the Humane Society is worth all it has cost. One of the whips is made by nailing nine long, slender strips of leather to an oaken club two feet long. When this was confiscated it was being used in beating a little boy for running away from home. It is a peculiarly brutal weapon, but scarcely more so than one taken by Mr. Parmelee from a woman at the Bethel Block. This was made of knotted strips of clothes-line gathered up together, each one calculated to cut into the flesh. Mr. Parmelee heard a child screaming in one of the rooms, ami rushed to the door. It was locked, but he placed his shoulder against it and broke it in. A woman had the terrible weapon in her hand, and was laying it with all Ijer might over the shoulders of a slender little boy. It was snatched away from her, and she was cautioned against a repetition of I the offense. Mr. Parmelee’s efforts I were rewarded with a look of gratitude ; from the child, and a torrent of choice I Teutonic profanity from the mother. ! Another weapon which was also used j by a mother in Hogging her little boy ■ was made by slitting a two-inch strap into strands. Seizing the heavy end of the same, she would beat tlu^ boy over the back and shoulders with a weapon almost as cruel as a cat-o -nine tails. Still another instrument of torture was a strap fully four feet long, which was doubled into a weapon that would leave two great black-and-bluc marks alter every stroke. Ccdcclciiul Leader. All Want Fine Teeth. In this city, as all over the United States, the demi-momhunes are as fastidious about their tooth as any one, and will have none but the first quality of work done for them. They* are good patrons, too, for they pay promptly and cheerfully, ami will not submit to inferior dentistry simply because the surgeon is affectionate and admiring. But they are not averse to a bit ot blackmail in their way. Some metaphysical customer says that “prudence' is a dark feather dropped from the wing of pas 1 ' u-Uv.

Most dentists have a number of dark feathers in their possession, and are getting correspondingly prudent. You can’t find a dentist nowadays who is rash enough to give anaesthetics without the aid of a well-known physician and without tho presence of some female friend of tho patient. Many of us have lady attendants to preserve tho proprieties. Some severelooking, middle-aged woman is a good adjunct to the office and loaves no chance for blackmail. A young girl once took langhing-gas in my office to have a toot h drawn, and afterward declared that while under its iufiuenee Iliad kissed her repeatedly. This she persisted in asserting, although her mother stood >esido tho chair during the whole opaation, and my assistant, a young man, was also present, and both told hersle was mistaken. That, however, is not an unusual experience. I know of manj patients who have made the sumo assertion on recovering; some angrily, others laughingly, but, each one fully bdieving it. Tho first effect of the gas israther intoxicating, arousing luxurious sensa- • tions in a woman of warm temperament. That may bo one catse of the frequent hallucination, while another may be seeing the mouth of Sie operator near her own just previous to unconsciousness, taken in coi junction with tho feeling of pressure tom the inhaler against the lips. Ary way, it is well known in the professioi, and in dealing with such emotional and erm ratio beings as women and grls ono cannot bo too careful. — SanFnni isco e ^ost.

Insects in Ears. Few troubles are more annoying or More productive of serious dilliulty, if mt removed, than insects h ears. Ly’ng upon soft meadow glass, or sletuing upon a camp-bed of fagraut i sprtce, bugs of different detominationsseem possessed with a daire to inspect our auricles. Once inside, their ran tic efforts to escape cause such ajony that people have gore temporarib crazy with it. This nay be instanti- stopped by pouring tie ear full of sveet oil, which suffocate the insect, and he is easily removed later by a syringe and warm water. Avoid intruding pins, etc., into the ears. Much harm .nay thus be done totheir delicate mechanism, and little t> tho cause of all die trouble. If oil s not readily accessible use water, whih is almost as good.

It appears, however, that its periodical literature is very extensive, considering population. There are seventeen i weekly newspaper.* published m the vernacular in Wale?, with a eircilation j altogether of over 120,()()(•. There is a ■ monthly Welsh magazine tint ean boast of a circulation of 37,7 0, and i altogether the magazines published in j the vernacular in Wales score a total ; of 17>0,0U0 copies. .' leading firm of > publishers in the principality ire said j to have laid out a sum of tISOOO in ! the production of asingle Welsh work, with fair pecuniary results, and a Welsh-English dictionary now in I course of production has taken a -guinea quarto volume of 400 pages । to reach the end of the first letter of I the alphabet. That says even a larger ; volume for the < opiotisncss of the, Welsh language, but it is nut exactly encouraging for any enterprising Eng--1 shman who may find his own literature insufficient, ami may, therefore, contemplate an incursion into that of Wales. — London Daily Neivs. (omnien Sense In the I sc of Language. A well-known manager of a popular | place of amusement had a negro in his employ who was forever coming to work ate in the morning. The boy was finally discharged, and asked for a letter of recommendation. The manager wrote as follows:
