sentence to five years. He was charged with burning the saw-mill of John Hargis, near Edwardsport, in June of that year, and admitted the burning to eight people, whose testimony put him where he is. It now turns out that he is such a liar that he can't be believed on oath, and that the fire was accidental. Hopper has served out nearly hslf his term, and is contented with his lot in prison.bnt steps will be taken to have him pardoned.

The "flood sufferer fraud has made his appearance at several points. The colored colony sent out from this country to Monrovie is doing well. Mr. James P. Yoorhees, son of the Senator, has made a very creditable life size bust of Senator Don Cameron. A Washington telegram to the Chicago Times says that Mr. Foster, of Indiana, will decline the mission to Madrid. A sensaticn is said to have been caused in the Ster Route trials, Tuesday, by the identification of Dorsey's and Brady's handwriting in the memorandas.

The Spanish residents of Livermore Valley, in southern California, are this month expecting a flood predicted 100 years ago by Padre Ansehno, a mission priest at San Jose. Their expectancy is promoted by the fact that the good father t'oretold the flood, of ISoS, in Livermore Valley, at. the time he prophesied the disaster now looked for. Late advices from the Ind. an Territory are that General Porter, clrief mil li toy officer of the Creek nation, recently captured Sleeping Rabbit second in command and influence of the rebel faction backed by Spiechee,and some halfdo-zen other leaders of the same party, aud now nas them in confinement.

in Brownsville, Texas, has been asked to resign. He was lax in his administration and failed to take adequate precautions to prevent smuggling which is said to have been carried on openly under his very nose. The Texas legislature has leased the two penireiitarics to Messrs Oarnighamt Ellis, of that state, and to General Hambry f,nd Cherry O" Conner, of Nashville, Tenn. tbe convicts and prison machinery for ten years at 820,000 per year.

The mother raised an alarm and the father lied. The child was dead when the mother reached it. The father made his escape.

Bits of TheTariff and Revenue. Representative Carlisle, the most prominent candidate for speaker, next session, says the tariff bill is a hodge-podge, and that the Forty-eighth Congress will go over the work again.

A tobacco dealer gives it as his opinion that tho rebate clause of the revenue bill will cost the government $3,000,000 o 4,000,000 ou tobacco add cigars alone. The rebate is on wholo packages, and dishonest dealers can systematically swindle tho government out of largo Bums, Comptroller Knox says the passage ot the new net relieves national and state banks and private bankers from a tax which, on an average,amouuted to 1,000,000 a month.

A great amount of additional labor is thrown upon the Secretary of the Treasury by the passage of the bill, as he must define the law in every particular. On

one point alone which will be sprnng the Secretary will have to make a $3,000,000

ruling, aud others of equal importance

may develop.

Pittsburg iron masters interested in the tariff have been unanimous in their declarations that under the law a reduction of wages of all classes of workmen will be necessary. If this is presisted in it will very probably result in a general strike, a large number of employes asserted that any attempt to reduce wages will be stubbornly resisted. Bradford manufacturers are disappointed ever the new law; while Chicago operators say it is more injurious to iron interests than any legislation within half a century, aad that the only means of keeping the mills open will be by a sweeping reduction m wages and putting them at such a point that laborers, in turn, must have cheaper board. Poles Bros.' mill at Pottstown, Pa., which was stopped some weeks ago, on account of uncertainty about the tariff,

started Monday, but the men struck after one heat, on acconnt of a notice that wages would be reduced.

It has been ascertained that there is no foundation whatever, for the statement that Pamell intends to resign his seat in Pahameut and proceed to America in event of his land-reform bill being rejected. Patrick Egan eluded the vigilance of the police by shamming sickness, and Dr. Kenny maintained the deception by visiting Egan, who, it is believed, left the dtp disguised as a priest. Pamell states that he does not know where Patrick Egan is, but the balance of the Land League fund, 25,000, is quite safe. George W. Foote, editor; William J. Ramsey, proprietor; and Kemp, printer, of the London Free Thinker, have been found guilty of blasphemous libel.

It is stated that Egan leftgDublin to avoid being called as a w?tuesB in the case. The Apaches have been committing

the cable landing on the American side.

As a very delicate instrument is used to telegraph through the cable, this circuit con hi not be worked beyond the end of the cable, but a conversation was held between the operator at the instrument in San Francisco and the one at Heart's Content, and then a request made to see how soon a reply could bo had from Ire land. The message soi ) from here was as follows: "To operator, Valencia Bay; Ten o'clock here: what time is it with yon?"The reply came almost instantly as follows: "Six o'clock in the morning, and the maids are milking the cows." From the time the message was started from the operator here until the reply was received did not exceed three minutes. The above extraordinary feat took place under the immediate direction of Mr. James Gamble, who vouches for the correctness of the above. The distance to Valencia Bay and back makes about 18000 miles. The difference in time between San Francisco and London is about eight hours.

Lome and Louise. The Brooklyn Eagle's Mau-About-Town says: "I never saw a mi re striking instance of the utter failure of caricatures to convey any real idea of their subjects than in the case of the Marquis of Lome. If the caricature have shown anything, and have gfven any idea of the husband of Princess Louise, it was certainly that of a weak and puny man with spindle legs, an efleniinate face and a general henpecked appearance This ha3 been done so often, aud he is so thoroughly ground in the minds of most Americans as a mild youn g man, quite con tent to play second fiddle to the Queen's daughter, that nobody was prepared for the man he really is. When he was pointed out to me I could scarcely believe that it was he The Marquis is above the average height with a powerful and expressive face, highly

nteiligent eyes, and the figure of an athlete fie steps like a man, talks with dcison and energy, and insists on being treated with a distinction that is due theson of the Duke of Argyll, the son.-in law of the Queer, a nd oreigning Governor General of a powerful British Province. I begin to suspect t-has the Princess Louise does not twist 'his nib around her ringer quite as much as is ro ported. He does not impress one as a man that can be twisted. I guess if tho true state of the case were really known, the Marquis realizes his utter inability to do anything with the wayward woman whom ho was forced to marry in order that her reputation might bo saved from scandal.,

The Wickedest Town on Earth. Rov. Harvey Wood at Baptist Ministers Meeting When you ask me to speak about Leadvi'lle you give me a big text. Briefly my experience as a pastor was this: When I was invited to accept the pastorate in Leadville, I was informed by letters that there were 130 members in the caurch, and that the church building would seat 500 persons, and that a parsonage was ready for me. The facts were as I found out when I got there that tho church seated 140 persons, and that there were forty-nine church members, and that the parsonage had been sold and the ohureh society was 900 in debt. As to the standard of Christianity in Leadville, it is not exalted. Gambling is licenced and so is rum. Last year $66,000 was paid for rum licenses, and $10 a table i o gambling hells. I did my level best to get some of my people to go into some rf these gambling places, but they were

afraid, for murder is an every day affair. I went into many places and I think Leadville is the wickedest t own on earth

Washington, March 4. All the regular appropriation bills obtained passage in both houses aud have become laws. The Sundry Civil, tho last upon which agreement was reached in conference received the President's signature at 'SO o'clock this morning. During the Fortyseventh Congress 10,670 bills and joiut resolutions had been introduced (8,018 in the House and 2,652 in the Senate), and of these 882 have been introduced hi the House and 857 in the Senate during tho Session just closed.

mittee withdrew the t image ami mail pay sections, which they had added, and the bill, with some amendments, then passed, and two hours later the bill reached the House and attempts' were made to send it to a committee of conference or to pass it as amended under a suspension oil the rules; owing, however, to the deadlock over the tiouth Carolina election ease, the House refused to entertain either motion,-and the Shipping Bill failed.

The aggregate amount of all the bills is 8229,327,511, made up as follows: Pensions, 86,575,000; Military Academy, $318,657; Fortifications, $670,000; Consular and Diplomatic, 31,296,755; Navy, ?15,894t4?4; Anny,4,681,35b; PostVoffice; 644,489,520; Indian, $5,362,655; Legislative, S0,44,296; Sundry Civil, 823 906,147; District of Columbia, 81,699,867; Deficiency, 2,813,187; Agricultural, 405,640; miscellaneous bills involving appropriations of money, 750,000.

The regular pension bills for the years 1882,1883 and-1884 aggregate 252,575,000, the bill just passed being 20,575,000 in excess of the bill passed two years ago, and 13,225,000 less than the bill last year. Of the Deficiency Bill just passed only about .300,000 is on account of the current fiscal year.

Mr. Nicholas Langdou, a well-known . ' politician, had a funny experience with a . pet monkey yesterday. He tells the story as follows: "Along with two friends I went into a beer 6aloon on Third avenue. I called for three beers and piaceu a J quarter on the counter. A monkey was scratching liis ears at the end of the bat ? and blinking his eyes at the 'boss. My friends turned around to admire several ornamental theatrical bills on the wallsand I joined them. When we were ready to go I said to the saloon; keeper, 'where' my change? he said what change? I looked at him with surprise and told him I had put down a quarter on the counter., Tbe man said I was mistaken, bat mf friends, who saw me put the money down told him that I had tossed twenty-fiv cents on the bar. The fat German -was ? heard to mutter something about deaK beats,' and I was beginning to get my Irish up. The monkey was apparently taking in the situation, and I thought his jaws looked a little swollen. TH bet that monk took that quarter I said p u myself. Walking up to the animal I just -gave him a tap behind the ear, and he ' spilled $2.50 in silver change on the ban The boss appeared to be dumb-foundedj and as we went put he was heard to remark thnt he would bet his life that the bar-tender John had trained the monkey and tnat he must be working the customers as well as the drawer, but the com? bination was spoiled."
