There is a very large demand for iron rails and all kinds of railroad material: Orders for immediate and future delivery are unusually heavy. Since July i; 1880, the railway mail service has beeu extended to 6,130 miles of road, this being the extent of new roads built daring that period. Major Bridgland, of Indiana, has been removed from the consulate at Havreand John M. Glover, of the same State, appointed to succeed him. Henry Ward Beeeher is sued for $10,000 damages by the Agricultural Society of Western .Maryland for failure to lecture accordiug to agreement. Chicago has an average death rate of 25 in the 1,000. That of New York is 33.7. The highest in the United States is Memphis, 57.6; the lowest is Peoria, 7.1. . The Grand Trunk Railroad Company wiH give their machinists at Montreal an advance in wages of 15 per cent. The men have agreed to return to work. . Tsarskoaelo was minea by the Nihilists, and but for the discovery of the mine by an imperial officer, another tragedyK would doubtless have resulted. Brennan, an Irish agitator, at a speech at Ballyroan on Sunday, compared landlordism to slavery, and said it cnght to be washed away in blood. Watertown, N. YM is "suffering from the dreaded army-worm, which is destroying all kinds of vegetation and ravaging the whole northern part of the State. , The Manhattan Railway Company, of New York City, has been ordered by the State's Attorney General to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed. Attorney General MacVeagh has decided that it is not the duty of the customs authorities to decide on the genuineness of butter when it is 1 'manifested" as such. . The latest news from Afghanistan is that the Ameer will attack Herat. Ayoob Khan has reached Fara with 3,000 men, and a battle will take place m a few days. , The anti-Jewish persecution rages fiercely at Wolzka. The unfortunate Jews were attacked by the mob and their houses destroyed, rendering 330 families homeless. Walsh, one of the Band League leaders, imprisoned with Dillon, claims American citizenship, and has appealed for protection to the United States Consul at Dublin. The persecution of the Jews in Russia and Poland is affecting the mercantile world. Warsaw merchants do not wish Jewish "drummers" sent

them rom Cracow. , Prince Alexander, in depriving the Bulgarians of their constitution , is acting under advice from the Russian

Government, and with the consent of

Austria and Germany. The Coercion act is. working well in Ireland, but the emigrant ship is working better. Between the two England is succeeding in crowding out "lawlessness" very effectually. A battle between the French contingent and the native tribes of Tunis is reported to have been stubbornly fought, with severe losses on both sides in filled and wounded; Bi-metalism has been well represented and advocated at the International Monetary Conference, which has adjourned, to secure governmental advice, untU tbe 30th prox. United States Mabshatj, Payn, of New York, believes Conkling will be re-elected beyond any doubt, but thinks it is a seri ous question whether he will accept re-election. Nashville, Tenn., was the scene of a great conflagration. Among other buildings destroyed was a church and college worth $70,000. The total loss will approximate $500,000. . Conservatives, clericals and liberals, united in the German Reichstag in voting in favor of annual sessions. This was in direct opposition to the wishes of the Federal Council. Patrick Quilan, of New York City, a worthless drunkard, shot his mother twice with a revolver, because she could not give him money for driuk. Her wounds are believed to be fatal. Bismarck proposes to introduce a tobacco monopoly bill to the Reichstag next, which will doubtless be more objectionable to the German law-makers than the quadrennial sessions bill was. Russia proposes to economize by reducing her military establishmc nts, paying smaller salaries to Ministers of War and-Marine and generals on long furlough, aud placing -her army on a peace footings At the beginning of May the total gold circulation in the United States amounted to 520,000,000, of which $264,000,000 was held as Treasury and national bank reserves, the balance being in actual circulation. Southern Russia is in a state bordering on anarchy. Students and Jews are attacked, buildings and railroad

trains are destroyed, laborers are starving, and the government is seemingly

Assemblyman Husted, one of the

leading anti-Conklingites, is authority for the statement that the Legislature

will go into session to fill vacancies in

tne united States Senate, and that

neither Conkling nor Piatt be chosen.

The Republican General Committee of New York State held a meeting

Tuesday night and passed resolutions

unanimously indorsing the action of

Senators Conkling and Piatt. They

The English newspapers are loudly

indignant at the Franco-Tunisian treaty. They accuse France of perfidy

and intimate that but for the lack of

concert among other Euronean now-

ers, Italy would have declared war

against her. Czar Alexander III. received formal invitation to his own funeral on Wednesday. The following day one of the palace scullions salted the imperial bowl of salad with arsenic, but fortunately the Czar did not partake of the deadly dish. - Senator Burnside stated the United States government sentiment relative to the Darien canal. It will not be in any manner responsible for it as a financial or speculative measure, but will allow n other country to control it when it is built; A terrible disaster has occurred to H. M. sloop-of-war Doterel, in the Straits of Magellan. An explosion of the salt water condenser was followed by that of the magazine, which wrecked and sunk the vessel: One hundred and forty-three lives were lost. More an ti-Jewish disturbances are

ing of Jewish shops was finally stopped by the military. At Odessa the Jews have been disarmed because a Christian was killed by an Israelite. Fred Conkling, the brother of Ens coe, believes thatr the latter will not be returned to the United Slates Senate Fred is a Demoorat, but. he is well-informed in New York politics, and the brothers are great friends fraternally, though violently opposed politically. The London Standard severely criticises the revised version of the New Testament. It is claimed that the revisers "have so revised the noblest book in the English language as to deprive it of much of it ? beauty, and they have destroyed many of its historical associations." It is said that the White House premises are permeated with noxious sewer gases, very threatening to the health of the occupants, and that the President and his family will remove to the Solders7 Home Presidential residence, at the earliest possible moment. Gen. Ignatieff, the stieeessor of Gen. Melikoff, has issued a circular to Governors of provinces, in which he indicates the present evils of Russian social life and the measures proposed for their amelioration by the Czars government The first task will be the extirpation of rebellion. A convention of representative colored men of North Carolina was held at Raleigh, at which the white Republicans were denounced, and strong resolutions were passed asking recognition from the administration. A committee was appointed to carry the resolution to Washington. Archbishop Croke, the clerical champion of the Land League, is received with much enthusiasm by the party While making the visitation of his arch-diocese. In his addresses to the people he encourages them to continue agitation, but warns them froni attacks on the police and military. An electric railway from Berlin to Lichterfieid, Germany, has been opened, and is declared a success. The motive power is electricity. The result of this new invention has been anxiously awaited by scientists and railway men, If it proves to be all that is claimed for it, it will be even a greater revolutionizer than the electric light. Senator Saunders has offered a resolution in the Senate calling for an inquiry by the Committee on Judiciary touching the relations of the Central Pacific Railroad to the leased lines and corporations in which its stockholders are interested. The object desired is the protection of I3nited States interests. Secretary Blaine recently ent the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics to Chicago and Cincinnati to investigate the hog question for the benefit of the European niarket. His report, which will be. published immediately, will show. beyond doubt that the American hog is the best of its kind, and will prove that the repoi t relative to cholera and trichina are gross exaggerations. The brewers who were in convention in Chicago, Ills., last week, agreed to assist a Kansas brewer to the extent of $75,000, in testing in the courts the validity of the Prohibitory law of the State. The object is to cany the case to the United States Supreme Court on the question of the right of a State to destroy the business interests of a citizen without compensation. At the convention of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina at Charleston, last week, the presiding Bishop devoted much of his annual address to a denuciation of "the code of honor." Within the past few years, he said, no less than five or six communicants of th church in that State had engaged in duels, either as principals or seconds; and he strongly urged that such persons be rigidly excluded 'from the sacramen tal table. . The report of the census oflice on the daily newspapers of the United States shows the number published in the several States during the census year to have been 962, the aggregate daily circulation of which is placed at 3,581,187. New York publishes the largest number 115, while Indiana, with 40, is only exceeded .by Pennsylvania, with 98; Illinois, with 78; Ohio and California, each 54, and Missouri with 42. Florida and West Virginia close the lht with three each. The Territories, including the District of Columbia, publish 41. A case in political history, closely resembling the Conkling-Robertson case, has been dug up .from its grave in the past. In 1845 James K. Polk ap

pointed Jonathan I Coddington Collector of the Port of New York. The appointment was hostile to Silas Wright:, who was the leading D ;mo3rat of the Empire State, and had resigned a seat in the United States Senate to" run for Governor in order to save the State or Polk. Wrigut antagonized the appointment, but it was confirmed nevertheless. But the feud grew into larger and larger proportions and became an irreconcilable quarrel. In consequence of it the Whigs won their Presidential triumph in 184S

nicipal election. The barber, it is sa id, lives in Illinois, Phillips has been arrested. Shortly after & o'clock, the other morning, the store and dwelling of the Mustard Brothers (J. aud K ), at Glen Hall, ten miles from &afayeite, were entirely destroyed by fire , caused, as is 8Upposexl, by an incendiary. The loss on goods is estimated at $1,000; on store-room JSBOC and on residwfle. $1,500. A large barn on Uife farm of Joseph ICoous, six milm northeast, of New Castle, .Vas destroyed Saturday evening. Six valuable horses, 00 lshels of wheat and various farming implements Were burned. 'ishe cause of the fire is a mystery.

It was learned some time ago that he was in Denver, His wife, iu spite of all efforts of her friends to (lis snade her, went to Denver to sec him and induced him to come back with her. Dr. M. C, McDowell, a member of the legislature, from Allen, county, charged by Miss Amanda Rockhiil with assult and battery with intent to murder, waived examination, and gave bonds in $1,500 to appear at the criminal court and await the action of the grand jury. The people of Crawford sville and Montgomery county are moving in the matter of making suitable provision for the care of destitute children, under the act of the Legislature which authorises County Boards to expend not to exceed $5,000 for buildings for that purpose, and to make provision for the support, of such children at a co3t not to exceed 30 per day for each child placed in such homes. The five Commissioners recently appointed under an act of the late Legislature to aid the Supreme Court in clearing oft its overburdened docket, nave entered upon the discharge of their duties, aud the Court, in effect, now numbers ten members. The plan adopted by the Court and Commissioners for the dispatch of business,, is explained by one of ' the Commissioners as follows: "When a Commission sr has prepared his opinion upon a case, it will be submitted at a consultation ol all five of the Commissioners, and, if concurred iu by three of the five, it will be reported to a joint consultation of the Judges and Commissioners, where the points at issue will be again considered, and if agreed to by six of the .ten Judges, it will, stand as the judgment of the Court. Each opinion will bo credited to the Commissioner or Judge by whom it was prepared, so that the Commissioners will, in effect, take the same rank and authority as as the Judges, while their term, of oflice lasts. ... , - t

Washiugton, May 20. The Senate rejected the nomination of Wm. Chandler as Solicitor General of the Department of Justice. The vote is understood to have been substantially a party division. The President transmitted to the Senate tlje report of the Secretary of Statu upon the case of Michael Boy ton, stating the case is not one which would warrant the interference o; the United States government, but declaring that, should it be the sense of the Senate, be wouJd counsel the President to appeal to the benevolence of the British government in Boy ton's behalf.

Auburn-Haired Women.

Auburn-haired girls have come into

reddish-golden tuwaareto lie envied.

Bleached b onds are decidedly passe and those with golden hair are trying

to turn it to the .fashionable shade of

gray-- or dark-halrcdbrunettes may turn their hair by prevalent bleaching and dveihir, but "for the yelfow-haired

or bleached blonde there is no help. And although red hair may be obtaiued by mean 3. of switches, puffs, aud dyes, none csxii get the peculiarly clear com -ple'iion that usually accompanies auburn hair. In the manner of hiiir dressing, is the nly one suitable for the very, dressy toilets; that are propiie sled for the e miing season. Women with red hair are called "rossa?," and if they have the reddish golden hair that poets rave over and artists love to paint, they are bewitching, especially if they have the bronze-tinted eyes. i m 4B 4 Dr u nk aga in. eh , 1 : said th e Mag istrate, contracting his brows and looking severely at the prisoner.

Badly Deceived by a Letted Faiind in Hui Wife's Itooni.

Celia Logan tells the t following amusing st'ory iu a Philadelphia paper A handsome yoi)ng actresp attached regularly to one of the few York theaters has a hilsband anVl a baby, a sickly little thing, and the husband is outrageously jealous, all the more that this season, he has done "job work." which has kept him "on the ,oa!,, pretty constantly, lately .he "came in the "combinatioh" with which he Wa s Connected having "gone up." He arrived unexpectedly late one afternoon and found his wife was out. On the table lay a note addressed to her in masculine hand. It was opened aud ran thus; Dear Friex-1 do not Uiihk you have any cause be aiiMotts about' 'the baby, it is only cutting its teetb a little hard that s AH, However, as you desire it, aud sav it Would relieve your miud -while -you 'art away at the Theater, 1 will come tc-tiltrut about 9 aud stay all night with you. Don't speak of the trouble, t shall only be too Kiail to lot Von et a little sleep after being Up so MUCh Vllli baby. Yonr true friend, K. S. Stantox, M. 3. The hushand was furious at this note, seemingly so imrihless. He thrust it into his pocket, and without waiting to see his wife strode from the house. He had now, he thought, what he had long saspectcd, proof of his wile's infidelity; Why, it was shamo lesa. Dr. B tan ton would pass the night, would he and blame it on the baby, but be would find that there was a husband around ready to deal terr ible ve agauce upon the betrayer. His feelings were not pleasant ones, as he lay perdue the rest of the day, nursing his wrath, to keep it warm. When the pretty young actress came home she was told that a gentlemau had nailed and gone away in a great hurry, leaving no name. . At about 10:30 that ev eniiig, while she Was at the theater, the door of her bed-room was dragged open furiously, and the enraged hus band r ashed in. He looked around Under the bed and into the closets, but found no man. There were, however, two persons in the room. One an infant slumbering peacefully in the crib, the other lady sitting at a small table on which lay several little bits of white paper into which she was pouring some globules from a tiny bottle. Her eyes were blue, her complexion a pure pink and white, and her hair, curling n loose ringlets over her well 'formed head , was just ligh ted wi th gray. Bhe up astonished aud said : "Don't make stish a noise; you'll wake the child. Are you a burglar? What do you want?" The huaoand paused is his fruitful search, and replied: "I want ..that man." ."What man?" uTho man that's made an appointment with wife for to-night." "Who is your wife, and what business have you in MiBS 's bed-room t1 asked the ladjr. Miss- s my wife." ' Indeed ! Well, you can't make me believe that she ever made any appointment with any man she oughtn't. to make." UI can't, can't I? Bead that iheu," he said, throwing throwing the letter on the table, and scattering the medicine. The lady read the letter and began fo laugh, which enraged the husband still more. "Where have you hidden tbia Dr. Stanton? I will blow bif'braius out," he cried. "No you won't." "You see if I don't" "Well, blow then." replied the lady, "I am Dr. Stanton, ihe writer of that letter." She had to sign her name, Kate 8. Stanton, and show, him that the .writing was. the same as in the note, before he could be convinced and then he was the most sheepish looking- man in New York. The story got on!,, and now he is the butt of every actor iu tbe city. They refused to believe that be "walked home." They condole with him on account of his ill-health, which forced him to stop acting. They recommended him to consult a doctor, especially a lady doc or, Kate Stanton, for example. Altogether he Is getting so "roasted" that he will have to have more than a mere letter iu future to

make hi. u thirst for vengeance, "Hang these women doctors" is all you can get him to say; "if they must be Doctors, why can't they sign their full

name, aud not make trouble man and wife?"

During the lecture an individual who occupied a seat on one of the front benches sieemed determined to resist ihe speaker's efforts to make him laugh. Artema? soon discovered both the listener and his intention and concentrated all his powers on him. For a long time it seemed as if the man had the best of it, but by-and-by one of Browne's queer conceits took effect The obstinate fellow gave, way and laughed and kicked like a delighted schoolboy, Artemas celebrated his victory by coolly announcing to ;his audience:

was all right: the brute must have made
