R. B. Elliott, member of Congress from South Carolina, is a full-blooded negro, and reported the ablest orator of his race in the South.

It is said that TCdwin Forrest is the richest of all the A.norican actors, being worth nearly ?1,500,000 and t.hat Joseph Jefferson and John 15. Owens rank next. 'pj-jjij.g

are

only a few men in Congiess

whose opinions are entitled to suflicient respect to command general attention. Of these few Senator Morton is one.

Mr. C. G. Forshey, a civil engineer in Texas, advocates the construction of nar-row-guage railroads with wooden rails as adapted to thinly populated districts in Texas, where traffic is light, and it is utterly impossible to get money to construct ordinary roads. Charters have been obtained for two such roads, and they are likely to be built soon.

The Maryland Court of Appeals has decided that a man who marries a minor becomes responsible for any debts which might have been enforced agaiust her notwithstanding her minority.

The house in Rotterdam in which Erasmus was born lias, for some years, been used as a gin-shop. Though the character of the building has declined, it is still animated by the spirit of Old Holland.

In Mobile, Ala., a man married recently his seventh wife, a Mexican, having previously been united to a German, Trench, English, Dutch, Irish, and an American woman, all of whom died.

Seventeen kegs of powder composed a blast which, in Dorset, Vt., the other day, throw into the air 30 feet a block of marble 40 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 18 inches deep, and estimated to weigh moro than

2,000 tons. Something for the novelists and playwrights. Your hero kills your heroine by a poisoned postage stamp, which ho sends her in a note requesting an answer, and gets the evidence of guilt into his hand again by return mail.

A Utica man, whose wife having undertaken to hang herself, was cut down by the neighbors, is very much incensed thereat, and "thinks that folks had better stay at homo and not meddle with other people's family affairs."

An irrevalent American in Cologne has greatly shocked the ecclesiastical authorities by offering to buy the bones of the

Marco Duschnitz has discovered the mechanism of the human voice, and can, at command, regulate it, change it, and make it melodious. lie is ready for a con

The trustees ot the Peabody Educational Fund have on hand §1,500,000 of Mississippi bonds, which they naively confess are not worth much at present.

Rochester calls itself the "Flour city" or the "Flower city," just as it chooses, for it is unequalled in the country for the extent of its mills and nurseries.

It is said that the Mount Washington hermits wonder how we here below can endure a climate so hot as we sometimes have it when the thermometor touches

zero. Vinnie Ream, having tried smiles upon susceptible Congressmen, with a view to tll.I additional appropriation for her Lincoln statue, has fallen back upon tears as tho most effectual agency.

A lad in Bridgeport is commended for fortitude, because when a drop-press cut oif three of his lingers, he looked at the bio 'ding stumps, and exclaimed, "I'll bet mothcr'll cry when she sees that!"

Mark Twain's assault on Mr. Sabine, in tho Galaxy, created no little disturbance among the readers of the magazine who. however they might have sympathized with the friends of Mr. Holland, thought the subject did not need to be treated.

The late George Tieknor had a decided aversion to radicalism and radicals. It is related that Thackeray once asked him if he know Theodore Parker, and that he replied in the negative, with a look of disdain. Whereupon Thackeray said "Then I am afraid you don't move in good slb-

cioty." Last Sunday two gentlemen were standing on a street corner in Stonington, Conn., outraged in conversation, when one of them remarked to the otlier: "How plain one can hear the ringing ot th church bells in .Mystic, this morning did yon notice it?" "Yes," was the reply "I have noticed of lato that tho sound ol the bells could be hoard more distinctly since the opening of the new road. You see that it has shortened the distance .between the two villages." "That's so I 1 id not think of that till you spoke," was tho reply, and they both walked on, mutually pleased with having solved the difficult question.

ALSACE and Lorraine are not the only provinces which France is likely to lose. It is asserted that Germany will make an effort to secure the neutralization of Savoy, which Napoleon wrested from Italy after the war of 1S56. To this Southern France will not readily consent. tl is intimated, indeed, that the opposition in that section to the cession of Alsace and Lorraine is so determined and uncontrollable that insurrection against the new Government is threatened in the event of its yielding to this demand of the Germans. Nevertheless, the Assembly seems disposed to vote in favor of the cession, probably because it has no other alternative.—N. Y. Tribune.

MR. DORSEY'S charity to prisoners looks a little genuine in the light of the fact that he was himself for several years a prisoner. To a reporter for a Providence paper containing some sarcastic comments on his benevolence he said "Just such a report as that appeared in the Jerusalem Morning lleraid the day after Christ wjis crucified, and just such another contemptible cuss as you are wrote it."

PRESIDENT ANGELL, of the University of Vermont, has at last accepted the thrice-offered Presidency of the Michigan University, and will resign liis present office in August, at the end of the academic year.

Additional Local News.

SOME impudent fellow in New York city sends us a paper with a column article on salt marked for republication. We are not fresh enough to do that kind of thing. He can't sprinklesalt on our tail with any hope of caichi.ng such an old bird.—Journnl.

Wo submit, the above without comment.

DROWNED.—This morning as the steamer James Gray, was steaming for this point and when about ten miles below this city, one of the hands, named David Grayville and who resided in this city, fell overboard and was drowned before assistance could be rendered him. The boat then "went into shore!' and every effort was made to recover his body without avail on account of the depth and swiftness of the water.

PALACE OK MUSIC.—Kissuer, of the Palace of Music, has just received several new and beautiful ballads from the publishers, some of which deserve especial mention. One is entitled, "All in the Midst of the Morning," written by George Cooper of national reputation, and "set to music" by Henry Tucker. Another is entitled, "The Little Church Around the Corner,'' written by the same author and "set to music" by Arthur Percy. This latter piece of music is having a wonderful circulation already, and is enthusiascally received.

NEW GROCERY*.—Mr. Joseph Strong, late of the firm of Syfers, Strong & Co., has established a magnificent grocerystore in Gilbert's new block, 87 Main street, and almost opposite the establishment of Syfers, Trader & Co., that is a credit to thecity, and reflects very greatly in favor of the judgment and finetasteof the gentleman who established it. The room in which he is located is large and well arranged, and is stored with everything in the grocery line, and especially with teas and coffees, as he propo -i making specialities of those articles.

One item of attraction and general interest we might mention, is that of a coffee roaster and grinder, to be run by a steam engine of four-horse power. It is an institution of very great utility and will well reward a curiosity seeker to call and see it for himself, therefore we will attempt no description.

TIIE ADELAIDE PHILLIPPS CONCERT at the Opera House was not so largely attended last evening as the merits of the entertainment merited, yet when we take into consideration the recent Nilsson concert and the high price of admission charged for admission thereto and the unparalleled success of that entertainment, it is not strange that the concert of last evening was not more largely attended. Though the audience was not large, it was a highly intelligent and most appreciative one being composed largely of ladies. Owing to some unexplained cause we were somewhat disappointed in Miss Pliillipps, though she displayed wonderful powers of voice and carried out her part of the programme, and responded to many encores, with fine effect and was greeted with the warmest demonstrations of satisfaction on the part of the audience.

The great success of the entertainment, however, was that prince of coronet players, Mr. J. Levy, who just carried the audience by storm and was wildly applauded and repeatedly encored by the enthusiastic assemblage of cold critics, many of whom seemed transported to a sphere before unknown to them, and to which they did not belong. His wonderful mastery over the cornet astonished and almost enraptured his hearers, who could scarcely demonstrate their high appreciation of his wonderful powers satisfactorily to themselves by storms of applause that made the Opera Hall resound.

The pianist, Mr. Huffman, displayed medium skill as a pianist, and Mr. D'Hassler has a good voice, and has it under passable control, but lacks cultivation.

FRIOiiTcsFUIJ ACCIDENT.—This mominjr Mr. Ira Delano and his niece, Miss Lucy, were enjoying a quiet drive along Main street, coining west, upon reaching a point on Stain street, just above the Terre Haute House, acoupleof horses belonging to Mr. Chauncey Rose, which were standing there, having, as reported, just been detached from a dirt-scraper, became frightened and made a dash out into the middle of the street immediately behind the buggy, one on each side, overturning it and throwing Mr. Delano out upon the ground with sucli violence as to dislocate his shoulder and bruise him up in a terrible manner. The three horses then ran, dragging and pulling the fragment of the buggy along with Miss Lucy dragging along on the ground drawn by the the top of the buggy which was laying over on the side, until reaching the door of Mr. Jas. B. Lyons wholesale whisky house, a distance of 45 yards, Mr. L. rushed out, in a very courageous manner and seized the horses by the bridles until Miss Lucy was extricated from the debris when it was discovered that she was but little injured to all appearances, which seems one of the most miraculous escapes we have ever heard of. Aud we have never recorded an escape with more pleasure than we do this.

Dr. Read was summoned and the wounds of Mr. Delano were dressed in the most satisfactory maimer, and he is

now

doing well, but is very severely injured. The buggy and horse belongs to Mr. D. C. Stunkard, who informs us that the horse they were drivong is very gentle, or the result might have been muoh more disastrous.

The buggy was considerably smashed one axle and two wheels being crushed. The scene was perfectly indescribable when the the horses, buggy and whisky barrels were all rolled up together in front of Lyon's store, and the lady was rescued without serious iitfury. *, ---J

SAN DOMINGO CITY.', Feb. 3.—We left Samana early Mouday morning, the 30th, and steamed slowly along the bald headland, with the wind aud sea against us. Yesterday afternoon we came in sight of San Domingo. We cast anchor in the roadstead, where we were tossed by a heavy sea, and made extremely uncomfortable. San Domingo can never be a place of commercial importance, for it has no harbor for vessels drawing over ten feet and

we are

compelled to remain

outside at anchor, cheered by the pithy remark of a West India pilot 'In case of a storm or strong wind from the south, be prepared to slip your cable and put to sea, for your anchor will not hold, or if it holds, the cable will part and you will drift on the rocks."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The Republican warns soldiers not to sell their discharge papers as follows: "Many veterans who have no intention of moving westward are willing to sell their certificates of discharge for trifling prices. These papers may be sold by brokers to men who are not veterans, YV ho might use them to acquire western lands, by assuming the names of the soldiers Yvhose discharge papers they have bought. In other cases these discharge papers are being bought up for the purpose of being sold back to the original possessors, when needed, at great advanced prices. Soldiers and sailors, aud the widows and orphans of such, should hold on to theii discharge papers. They cannot, be sold without perpetrating fraud."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The House Committee on Naval Affairs is entitled to the next "morning hour" in the House to complete the consideration of the Brooklyn Navy Yard bill, but there is little probability that there will be another "morning hour" this session. Motions to suspend the rules can now be made at any time. Votes upon these motions, discussions of appropriation bills not yet passed and the disposal of privileged reports will fully occupy the time of the House until the close of the session, cutting off the morning hour and other regular order of business.

The Fenian exiles, thirteen in number, called at the Executive Mansion yesterday, in accordance with previous arrangements, and were introduced to the President by a member of the City Council of Washington.

To this the President replied that they could do so, and whatever was proper to be done by the Government would be performed.

He had a pistol and tools with him, and the box had a trap-door. A heavy shipment of gold to go East by the same train. Cross was arrested and placed in jail.

Mr. Dawes moved to add to the item the words, "and subject to no other limitation of restriction." He explained that there was former legislation which required that no partof the money should be expended until after the contracts were made for the completion of the whole building, at an expense not exceeding $3,000,000. The Committee on Appropriations had become satisfied that it would take $3,000,000 to erect the building from the sills up, as it had been necessary Jo sink the basements thirty-six feet below the surface. The ultimate cost of the building above the surface would be $3,000,000, and the expenditure below the surface would be an additton to that, making the whole cost of the building $3,800,000,

thereabout. The amend

ment offered by Mr. Dawes was agreed to. The next item, the Boston Postoffice, also caused

some

discussion, arising from

the opposition to it by Mr. Farnsworth. An item for furniture by the Treasury Department brought ''out Mr. Farn— worth again, in an attack on the architect or the Treasury Department, and he mentioned an incident of two expensive mirrors being toted about to adorn and beautify the house of a distinguished mernler of Congress in Washington City, and that one of them, costing some $10,000 had been broken or lost in the transportation back and forth.

Mr. Eldridge asked Mr. Farnsworth to what member he referred. Was he a Democrat?

Mr. Farnsworth replied that his politics were of that uncertain kind, that it was difficult to tell what they were. He had been a Democrat and everything else by turus, but nothing long. [Laughter.]

SUMMARY.

WASHINGTON, February 22. J-' House. "J The House proceeded to consideration of the deficiency bill. It appropriates$10,677,525, which includes the following items For reporting and publishing debates, $120,000 for New York Postoffice $500,000 Boston Postoffice, in addition to unexpended balance for purchase of site, $64,273 Court House at Madison, YVisconsin, $21,899 Court House at Portland, Maine, $20,079 Appraisers store, Philadelphia, $40,000 public printing, paper and binding, $125,COO for cavalry and artillery forces, $200,000 army clothing and camp equipage, $200,000 army contingencies, $50,000 army medical supplies, $100,000 army pay, mileage and clothing, $2,045,000 Quartermaster General's Department, $155,000 Freedmen'sBureau, $140,000 collecting revenue from imports for half a year, $2,750,000 the last item is not included in the aggregate. The item for the New York Postoffice wa3 read as follows: For continuing work on the building for a postoffice and Court House in New York City, to be applied only to finishing foundation and up to and including the sill course, and receiving and setting granite for the first story above the course, $500,000.

the Boston post-

office, but his colleague on the Postoffice Committee, (Fitch) had informed the House that there was not the slightest evidence connecting him with it. He had but one observation to make, and that was that he who accused all the world convicted only one, and that one himself. He who now ran a muck against every man, only shoY\Ted that his own heart had all the qualities with which he desired to invest every one else. He Yvas like a man, who, being drunk said all the Yvorld was staggering before him. The member from Illinois saYV nothing but knavery, fraud and malfeasance in everybody else. [Laughter.]

Mr. Farnsworth said he.liad not stated that the house of the member from Massachusetts had been graced with mirrors belonging to the Treasury, but as it seemed that the coat fitted the member he Yvould now say it had been proven before committees of the House, and Yvas susceptible of proof again, that the member's house was graced Yvith mirrors belonging to the United StatesGovernment, and that some of those mirrors had been lost in transmission from the Treasury. He held in his hand a document which would prove to an unprejudiced jury that the member from Massachusetts was interested in a stone quarry, from which Government granite was taken for the Boston postoffice. It was as Yvell understood in the city of Boston as any other fact that was a notorious fact. The quarry was usually called "Butler's quarry." The testimony taken showed that a man named French, a distiller, and former officer on the staff of the member from Massachusetts, but who could not get a commission from Governor AndreYV on account 6f his notoriously bad character, had been taken doYvn into the member's

and used there in connection Yvith

the quarry. That the man had come on to Washington because his distillery had been seized for a violation of the revenue laYvs, and Yvent to consult the member from Massachusetts, who was usually consulted in such cases. He had happened to mention that he had some spare money, and asked how he should invest it, and the member from Massachusetts advised him to buy a stone quarry, and it had happened that it was about the very day when the first appropriation of $200,000 Yvas made by Congress for the Boston postoffice. This distiller had never owned a stone quarry, and knew nothing about the business, but he went aud purchased an old abandoned stone quarry, and at once, after advice and assistance of the member from Massachusetts, he procured the contract, although lie was the highest bidder, for tiie granite, for the eutire building for the Boston postoffice, although there was a statute which made it a high misdemeanor for any officer of the Government to make a contract beyond the appropriation already made. He was not to be told under these circumstances, that the member from Massachusetts was not interested in that contract.

An item for contingent expenses of the House being under consideration, Mr. Dawes explained that the principal cause of exhaustion of the contingent fund was contestant for seats in the House, Yvho had received during the present Congress $18,000, besides $28,000 paid for expenses in connection with those cases. The items for army deficiencies were commented on by Mr. Brooks, of New York, who again brought up the question of the use of the military in State elections and execution of revenue laws in Brooklyn.

Mr. Dickey reminded Mr. Brooks that precedent for putting doYvn a whisky riot in

Brooklyn

had been set by Washing

ton himself,-^ in putting down the whisky insurrection in Pennsylvania, so President Grant was occasionally compelled to send a small army to the whisky drinking neighborhoods of New York to enforce Jhe, revenue laws.

In order to put a stop to discussion and bring the House to a vote on the bill Mr. Dawes. •rieLQved to suspend the rules aud pass tfie Sill. The motion was agreed to, and the bill passed by a vote of yeas 96, nays 44.

A YOUNG man was endeavoring to enjoy an evening in the company of a young lady, fair and entertaining, upon whom he called, but found a serious obstacle in the person of lier stern ana not very cordial father, who at length ventured to very plainly intimate that the hour for retiring had arrived.
