New York State have nearly doubled, increasing from 211,849,110 to $417,707,554, or 07 per cent, while their surplus has; increased about 85 per cent, or from $38,585,826 to $71,561670, cThe distance from Washington to Long Branch by the short route taken by the Presidential railroad train, is 228 miles. The trip was made in precisely 889 minutesthat is, in six hours and twehtv-nme minutes, or at the rate of a mile in one minute and fortythree seconds. SevERAii thousands of the good people of Birmingham, Alabama, were amused and edified, the other day, by witnessing a fight between two bulldogs and awild catV The eat blinded both the dogs, and was declared the victor after a savage batUelasting t wenty minutes. Shortly after his election last fall, Gen. Garfield-wrote to a friend saying : believe all my friends are more gratified in the personal part of ray triumph than I am, and although I am proud of the noble support I have received, and the vindication it gi ves me against my assailants, yet there is a tone" of sadness running through the triumph that I can hardly explain." ' The latest dodge in avoidance of the prohibitory liquor law in Kansas, is the ahthorizatipn by the City Councils of Topeka and other cities of the issue of city licenses for the sale of "soda, mineral water, and other drinks." The effect of this action is to free the liquor seller from the interference of the police, and to throw the burden of the enforcement of the State law upon the prohibitionists. Embezzlements, by officials of secret societies are not very numerous, but in too many Instances, probably, they are hushed up and condoned. Sometimes, however, a sterner course is pursued, as at Seymour; this State, a few days ago, George Pomeroy was arrested on a charge of embezzlement rom Beharrel Encampment, I. D. O. F., and held to bail in the sum of $300. Ponierby "was Secretary of the Encampment, and of Lincoln Lodge. The pecularities of legislation in Maine are illustrated by the laws bearing upon the subject of surgical dissection. In that State no medical student can be graduated: unless he has had regular practice in a dissecting room, and no bodies can be lawfully dissected except thuse of criminals which have been executed; and capital punishment has been, abolished. Hence, if the law iffcobeyedt, thelaw mustjoe violated. The banks all over the United States now refuse to receive Canadian siver fractional currency except at a heavy discount; It is stated that in New York this discount amounts to 5 cents from off the face value of each of the pieces, from the 20-cent piece upward, while the 10-cent piece and the Scent piece are received for only 7 and

1 3 cents 'respectively?- The discount is

put on on the principle of" "tit for tat," the Canadians having discounted American silver. The JSTew JSTork Sun describes a "sublime" spectacle" showing- th sanctity of human life, and the equality and fairness of our institutions a3 follows: "There is no other man in America so universally despised, so universally abhorred, as Charles J. Guiteau. ' He is imprisoned for sliootiegdown the Executive Head of the government And-yet in .such sacred"

regard is human life held in this country that the army and the navy are already put in requisition to protect the life of this execrated mi8creant,ahd to secure to him a fair and impartial trial. Verily, the equality and fairness of our institutions are.not an idle and empty boast, but an invaluable reahtyi" It is noted that of late the rush of British capital into ail descriptions of American investmen ts has been im

mense. Tneae are principally railways, banking insurance, and com mercial business. But now there are unmistakable indications of a movement among the higher middle class in England that point to the settlement of regularly organized British communities in the Western and Southern- States; .. Tennessee,- - Virginia and Colorado, are just now the favorites; But the movemen t-is spreading to Kansas, the Carolinas, and even to .Louisiana and Texas: ? Large amounts of British capital are being vested in lands in the United States on bondand mortgage. Evidently the English people have had enough of Egyptian,' Turkish and Peruvian bonds,audhave made up their minds to plant their feet upon the solid earth and, among civilized people.

A STRANGE incident of our times and the of the opposition to Christianity among some . who claim to be men of thought and culture, is noted in the fact that -V mericans have gone to Ceylonj In the East Indies, in order to tecch End 'preach Buddhism. It is claimed that the schools of these teachers have great success, and that they openly oppose the spread of Christianity. Many of the wealthy natives are repented to be contributing liberally to ithe support of the enterprise. There are already in the new schools on the island over 600 pupils who have been taken from Christian missionary institutions. In the meantime; Mahommedanism is grasping at , Africa With renewed fanatic zeal; while in Asia that old religion which has for ages dominated the hearts of hundreds of thousands of millions is a second time preparing to grapple with the fai th of -Europe. These are curious signs and portents of the times. A popular theme is very justly and judiciously commented upon by the New York Sun as follows: "It may well be a source of national pride that all which is justly said of the self-sacrifice and of the thoughtful and tender devotion of Mrs. Garfield to her husband during his long and distressing illness might be said'with equal justice of almost every American wife under similar circumstances. Indeed, nothing less is expected of American women ; and'tnouglr they attract li tUe or no attention, such instances of wifely cate and watchful affection are of constant occurrence, in the palatial houses of the rich and in the humbler dwellings of the poor; and lowly; so that when Mrs. Garfield is praised, the high eulogies pronounced upon her belong

f

not to her alone, hut are tribut es to the character, the disinterestedness, and the fidelity of American wives in general. Indeed, so much is the exercise of all these womanly vi rfcues looked upon as a matter of course, that the public would be greatly shoc ked at the manifestation of any lack of thenx in a case where the su fferings of a husbarid have been so terrible and prolonged. Many a common laborer, living from hand-to mouth -one his daily earnings, possesses the priceless treasure of a wife just'as devoted; .While it is fortunate that the conspicuous example of a President's' wi(e has brought these common but high qualities of American women so prominently before the world.''

How tliey got there is a conundrum. .. fu: ' Judge W Bi Loughridge, onco a judge of the probate court at Huntington, and later for several years up to 1827 editor of the Miami County Sentinel, fin old pioneer of northern Indiana, has been declared ineano. The charge of insanity before the court was made by his wife, who asked to be made Ins guardian. This-was. tho occasion of a hotly contested suit, defended by parties claiming to bo creditors of .fudge Loughridge. A daughter of Thomas Casey, of South Bend, while punching holesjin a shoe with a pair of sharp pointed scissors, let them slip and perforated her thigh to the depth of an inch an d a half, lacerating the femoral artery so badly a to cause what is known in surgery, as traumatic aneurism. The blood caused a pulsating sac absut the size of an egg, which was constantly increasing in size. The, surgeons ligated the artery above and be tow the wouutS and the patient: is doir g well. Theioperation tuider. skillful hands is not. considered extra hazardous. John C.

While being brought to that place by an officer ihey were met by a mob who took charge of RusseL and tried to extort from. him a confession of the theft by hanging him to a tree, raising and lowering him by intervals by means of a rope. He persisted in his innocence despite their horrible trea men t,and was .finally released. Russell ne w brines suit for malicious prosecution and for damages in assault and battery. Several of the assaulting

party are known. The executors of the estate Df Governor Williams,, one of whom is James S. McCoy, a son-in-law) of the deceased governor, some time ctgo-determined that the contract made; by. a Pittsburg marble firm with somejof the relatives of Mr. Williams for a $500 monument should not be carried out, and that. the shaft should riot be placed over the grave. The contractor! has completed his job, howeverj as "near as h 3 was allowed to, and has a very fine Italian shaft to put up. It is ija the shape of two upright ..columns: supporting an arch. The apex of the! arch is crowned with an urn. On the face of the arch in rustic letters are the words "Our Parents." On the right column is chiseled the name off the Governor, James D. Williams, ud on the left column his is wife's, Nancy Williams. The work is said to bej a fine job for country skill. Employes of the marble firm went to the Williams. cemetery a few days ago and laid a foundation for the monument. (Afterward they went back to place the shaft in position, and to their astonishment found that the foundation had been torn up aud a, plank fence phiced around the graves by Mr. McC y. The marble men did not attempt! to remove the obstructions, but placed the monument on the lot of John WHliams, a son of

the late governor, and! within six feet

Br. Storrs With' tho Snakes. J3uffaSo Express! ' I The Rev. Dr. Storrs.of Brooklyn, who was out in the woods) near the White Sulphur. Springs, in Virginia, the other day, relates a peeuli ir snake story. During his walk he saw confronting him, upon a dead level with .his, own face, a rather u n usual counte nance. It was that of a large click snake, with a whi to rin g about i ts neck . It s tood up In his path with, whan appeared to be several rods of snake trailing back in the perspective. The Doctor did not use his professional weapon of prayer, but stood paralyzed with fright. As he gazed terror-stricken, the snake disappeared like a flash, and reappeared m the path, behind him, his head curved over his until; it again gazed into his benign countenance. The learned doctor ducjked, yelled, and seotied, " to use his own language.' He made his first mile in thirty seconds, and came in with a long lope upon the home-stretch of the j second with his long sandy hair standing up like the fretful quill of the pbrcuphae. An irreverent man who head of the Doctors adventure, said that pe had a friend who once had diem the same way. He was continuing in thjs slanderous way when some friends of the doctor came to tlie rescue aiad drojvo the irreverent man out.

the night of her birth tho young father ' Who had looked forward with such tender joy to this crowning point in his life, had started out hurriedly for the doctor and fallen into a coal "hole The nurse said it was a bad omen. When Mr... Vero sued the owner for $25,000 damages and got a verdict for 0 cents, he remembered this, Turning sadlv away from the Court House, an old Gypsy woman stopped him. "Do you know me, W. II. Vere?" she hissed in a low voice, her face lighting up with a malignant look. ?No, woman, what wouidst thou with me?" 4 'Forty-seven years ago," muttered the old crone, -hoarsely,. "your dead and gone father put ipecac in some melons that were growing in the back yard of the Vere mansion. The next day our entire family threw up all they possessed. I was only a little girl then but I remember the cold, pitiless smile on the face of your haughty father as he rode by our humble cot, and saw in y youngest brother going to the drug store for something to settle his stomach with, and swore to be revenged. 1 have kept my oath. My son was on the jury that tried your case, and his vote defeated you. But do not think my anger : is sated. The O'Rourkes hardly ever forgive. Ere another sun shall have risen a deep sorrow will fall onjyour blouse. Remember the gypsy's warning and tremble." And with these words the toothless virago stepped

silently around the corner and was lost

to sight. That night the celebration of Tristissiraa's nineteenth birthday took

place. Iu the excitement of the event W. H. Vero thought of nothing but

how to make his guests happy. At 11

o'clock the butler approached his

mistress and whispered a few words in

her ear. A frightened look passed over

her face, and hastily seating herself on a fauteuil she sent a servant to summon her husband. He came.

"God help us!" ejaculated the griefstricken man.

."WflydW mot neea tns gypsy's

The party was a failure, and the haughty pride of the Vero family was humbled. The next morning a little bov brought home seven empty ice

cream freezers,. saying, that a dark vis-

aged man had handed them to him for

delivery.

The old gypsy woman disappeared mysteriously and was not heard of for

six months. At the end of that time

lMany visi tora from th e West h ave been seen in the streets of late. Their

raiment and their manners have

marked them as no,t of the people of

JNew York. They can be daily seen flattening their noses against store windows, writing letters on hotel paper in the reading rooms of the various hotels, admiring the jmimals in Centra Park, button-holiug the police to learn the 'sights' of the city, and gazing in open-mouth wonderinent at. the Coney Island cows.

Thus .equipped, they are to be seen on the cars aind boats in aud around the city, frjom a very early hour in the morn ing; until other fowls have long gone to rjost. Of late they have become .ubiquitous. They have swarmed like the seven-year locusts, which they resemble in voracity and noise. Famine and tobacco juice mark then path. The hordes that ap pear daily on Broadway have caused redoubled vigilance on the part of shop keepers and policeman. Who and what the strangers; were was at first a mystery.

Tho Mrs. Garfield Fund Now York Tribune . ; Although no special effort has been made by the promoters of the movement, the feeling of anxiety concerning the President has directed attention to , the Garfield family fund, which, .during, the days of bis supposed recovery seemed to be slipping out of pub?

lie notice. Some of the wealthiest men

in the country have privately pledged themselves for the payment of a large sum in case of" the President's death, and there isfno question iu the minds of those who ha ve been active in securing subscriptions, that if the end should come, which the Nation is dreading now, the amount of money which will voluntarily flow; to the fund will greatly exceed in the, aggregate the.laresum originally proposed. Thus far $156,7(57.62 has been subscribed, and all of this sum, except $5,000 (which came as a conditional subscription from Columbus, O.), has been paid to the United States Trust Company. Acting under the conditions of the trust, this company has purchased, and now holds. for the fund, $125;0307 of United States 10 per cent, registered bonds, on which the interest is 5,000 per annum. The bonds cost $145,281.26, and last night there was a casli balance with the Trust Company of $6,176.40, Certificates for the 125,000 bonds have been placed in Mrs. Garfield's hands through the Postmaster.

A Warning to Some of our Lah do

Dans, j Burlington Hawkeyc.. " Walter" said one of our portly merchants to his six-year-old hope. I don't mind how short you have coats cut so long as they strike you below the shoulder ..blades; neither does it trouble me to see you choking yourself to death in a pair of tight paiuts. Nor am I much concerned in how many scarf pins you sport a dav,or how large a bundle you carry to the laundry every tweiityfour hours. Though the sight of your moustache, in its feeble efforts for life, makes me faint, yet can bear up even under that, but let me ever euu h you wearing your watch chain on the outside of your coat, and you'll go :o woik iu the store , putting up groceries before you can say 'quite too Utter, ' Do you hear me ?"
