OFFICAL HORSEFLESH.

Washington, May 13. During the conference of Republican Senators this morning, attention was called to the fact, which has quite generally been lost sight of, that the action taken. by tho caucus last week in regard to the contested cases extended no, further tha:ii to -rrfovide that they should not be brougnfHwfore the Senate until after clearing the docket of uncontested business, and various Senators to-day announced that from and after , the time when this clearance shall be effected, which is apparently very near at. hand, they will not enter into any assessment or understanding in regard to any contested nominations, but will themselves: be free to move for prompt action on all such, cases, in accordance with : their individual judgments, restricted only by the rides of the Senate. In view of these announcements, it is considered improbable that any attempt will bs made to obtain caucus action on the subject, and unless a controversy , in regard to Robiu son's nomination be averted by some other means, it will doubtless be brought before the Senate fcoou after intervening business shall have bee disposed of. The caucus today ftdjoiirueu, subject to the call of the Chairman, The Republican Senators held a cau

ing an important item of expense. A rough estimate has been made allowing that the total cost of the enterprise would not exceed $3,000,000, and business men are confident that such an investment would be repaid, dollar for dollar. Fob the quarter ending March 30, 1 881, the sale of postage s tamps,starnped envelopes and postal cards, at twentylive of the principal ofikes in the United States, amounted to $8,298,475.75, bein g an merer-ss of $261,293.14 over the same period of time to 1680.

The -.receipts of the national Government from internal revenue for the ten mouths of the current fiscal yeai? are $108,700.00, a gain of $8,800,000 in round numbers Over the corresponding period of the last fiscal year. It is estimated that in the next next two months the receipts will be 26,000,000. making a total of of $134,000,000, a gain of $10,000,000 over last year. The receipts from customs for the present year wall be s.bou.t the same as those of lastyenr. . f The suggestive statement is going the rounds that four poor l?hiladelphia housewifes joined in tho purchase of a whole barrel of flour, and found it considerably cheaper than their previous practice of buying a few pounds at a time. : They extended the plan to other supplies, and then to additional members.

Cmcago inter Ocean. ' . . President Garfield Iqves a good horse dearly. He is an excellent rider. He has not, as yet, made any changes in the: Presidential. stable,.. except to add a saddle horse. The stables still contain the four coach horses which were used by Mr. Hayes, and which were left by him. They will, however, be sent to Fremont during next fall. The Presidential coachman blandly says they are "worn out." Mr. Hayes never cared muoh for hor-ies: not near as much as Mrs. Hayss 'lid. So long as the carriage was ready when called for, he did not trouble hmself. Grant, on. the contrary f was passionately . fond of ft good hoxse, and was not afraid to spend money for one,: Hetbok them a way or gave them away when he left. The horses in the Presidential stable are not remarkable for their speed, but the President is quietly looking for a fine span of horses, a pair that will do credit to their position. Neither the President nor his boy; care much for carriage driving, and leave that tD Mrs. Garfield and the ladies. Mrs. Garfield uses the carriage a good des.1 and generally goes shopping in the two-horse closed carriage which Mrs. Haves used. The President goes oust horseback riding every evening after ofiiee hours, and generally without company. His private secretary, Mr. Brown, does not go horseback riding,

although, he has four government

horses in the stable foir his own use. Hi3 carriages are also" kept here. A Durham cow has a large, "roomy stall

in the stable, and supplies the White

House with milk. VICE PRESIDENT ARTHUR is also partial to a fast trotter, and rides everv day behind a dappled gray Ken

tucky mare. The distance between his house on Fourteenth street and the

CanitoL which is about a mile and a

half, is passed in exactly ten minutes. ALL THE CABINET OFFICERS

of the last administration had estab

lishment, especially Secretary Evarts, who took- his with hiui to New York.

Attorney General MoVeagh has a .fine

stable, in which he. keeps three horses

and an English brougham and a cart Secretary Hunt owns a pair of

Waterbury :.(Conn.,) American. Following are the particulars, as far as can te ascertained, ol Dr. Robert G. Stanwood's mysterious disappearance from Brunswick, Me., and his subsequent appearance in Bi unswick, Ga. On the 25th of. August, last the Doctor started from Bunganuc, some three miles from Brunswick village, ai; about 3 p. m. lor a row on the Bay, te had an appointment; for a later hour, and, becoming absorbed in rowing, found he had gotten a long distanco from the shore, which decided him to proceed to armouth and take the train back, rat her than retrace the distance by boat. With thit purpose in view he bent: ail his energies to the task, but soon ran his doiy aground upon a mussel-bed ; in order to get the craft afloat he was obliged to wade in the water and exert- himself considerably. Considerable time was thus consumed, and on resit ming his oars he applied

on looking back ward, h discovered a yacht bearing down upon him with the apparent purpose of running him down." He exerted himselt to avoid a collision, when one of the parties in the yacht, us she run alongside, delt him a terrible blow upon the head with au oar. This blow rendered him insensible, and, on regaining consciousness, he was walking in the st rcets of a large ci tv, which proves to have been Savannah, Ga., but ifc seems the Doctor was ignorant of this. He was penniless., and insufficiently clothed, gettiug'a precarious living as bo could, While in this condition he heard of Bnmswfc, and, hisble tat of

' Brunswick "Which he left on that event ; ful August day. ..." , With .this idea in

view ne started thither and: proceeded the entire distance almost 100 miles on foot, reaching there December 1. At Brunswick be fortune tely fell in with ki nd people, who cafe d for hlto. and notified Mrs. Stan wood of his whereabouts, as has previously been been related. Mrs. Stanwood found her husband still weak, but in u rapidly improving" condition, so that he was able to attend to business somewhat. His physicians .recommend for him nhysicial rather tlian men til exertion,

as his mind is not yet stroag enough to endure much effort. The time intervening between August 25 and the last of November, when the Doctor recovered consciousness in Savannah, is ablank to him, although he makes strenuous efforts to revive some recollection. The theory is tliat he was robbed by tlie parties on board the yacht, as he had quite a sum of money with him, and either turned adrift till picked up by some passing ship or else was placed aboard some Southern bound ship, with a plausible explanation by ins assailants. When the Doctor was first taken into care of his new friends he was extremely thin and worn down from apparent exposure, and had a most troublesome cough ; the latter is now gone, ancl he has in a great measure regained his fiesh and and strength. Mrs. Stanwood writes that the Doctor will remata South till he h as regained his n orm al condition of health and strength.

Five Children Drowned Little Rock (Ark.) Gazetted

The Gazette has the following from a reliable . correspondent: at Stover, Dallas county, this State : 4One of the most terrible tragedies occurred near this place yesterday ever known in the annals of this country. The wife of Mr. Nutt, a : well-to-do planter, residing some six miles from this place, in the northern portion of v Calhoun county during the absence of her husband, threw all her children, five in number, into a-well, and to make sure of their drowninsr, let the bucket into the well

and suspended herself in the well by.

the rope and kept them pushetl under water with her feet until she was satisfied that life was extinct. The husband returned just at nightfall, and on being told by his wife that their children were in the well, hastened to the residence of a neighborhood near by, a Mr. Clem on s, and informed him or what had occurred, requesting Mm to have thQ bodies drawn out. He (Nutt) then went to his father's, a few miles distant, and has not returned to his home, where his five children lay wrapped in the icy embrace of death. The- eldest child, a boyr was twelve years of age, and plowed the forenoon before his death. Dr. Holderness, of Chambersville, and Dr. Roberson were summoned this morning, and- pronounced Mrs. Nutt jiusane.

Commodore Stockton as a Duelist. Reminlscouces by Jos lab ulnoy laths Independent. . . ' I now come to tlie most marvelous dueling adventure in which Stockton was engaged ; and chis I shall give as I heard the story told by its hero one day after dinf.er and in the presence of several gentlemen who were lingering about the table. Since writing out the narrative give n below, I have found hi the Boston city library an anonymous life of St ockton, apparently written for some political purpose and published in 1856. The writer gives an aO count of this duel from heSirsay and accordiL g to his remembrance." The narrative differs from mine in several particulars, which I am certain that I heard from the principal actor. There must ekist nV&teriala.for anv authentic life of the brilliant commodore; and a moat interesting book it would bo.
