Jeff Davis still travelsand talks through the South. As his harangues increase in number, so they increase in vindictive bitterness and fierce denials that the cause he championed is lost. Under the guise of a life insurance advocate he is trying to waken the perished political ambition of the South into fresh activity. One crop of whirlwind did'nt satisfy him. "I weeded my friends," said an eccentric old man, "by hanging a piece of stair-carpet out of my first-floor window, with a constable's announcement affixed. It had the desired effect. I soon saw who were my friends. It was like firing a gun at a pigeon-house. They fjrsook the building at the first report, and I have not had occasion to use the extra flaps of my diniug-table since."

Horses are high in Kansas, but Indian ponies can be bought at from $30 to $60 each. They are good for herding, or for common light service. Texas cattle can be bought, one year old, at $5 to ?6 two years old, $10 to $12 three years old, $15 to $20. They are generally very poor when they arrive in the State, but prairie grass is plenty, and they soon improve in condition. Purchasers often double their money on them in a single year.

Denver, Colorado, i9 getting to be quite a big city. It has now completed four or live railroads, that branch out in all directions, and has also lately been working away upon a grand boulevard a la Paris, with two splendid roadways for driving, promenades, five rows of trees, a total width of one hundred feet, and fully two miles long. Altogether, Denver is "looking up," as they say out there, in a wonderful way, and is putting on metropolitan airs to an amazing degree. Of course, she is confident of outgrowing Chicago and other large Western cities in no time at all, and she even now talks about being soon the metropolis aud Capital of the United States. How is that for high?

The Boston Journal of Chemistry, iu speaking of the ocean telegraph, remarks: "Here is a man sitting in a darkened room at Heart's Content. The ocean cable terminates there. A fine wire attached thereto is made to surround two small cores of soft iron. As the electric wave, produced by a few pieces of copper and zinc at Valentia, passes through the wire, these cores become magnetic enough to attract a light iron bar. A looking-glass, half an inch in diameter, is fixed on a bar of iron one-tenth of an inch square and half an inch long. On this tiny lamp a glass is made to glare, so that the light is reflected on a tablet on the wall. The language of the cable is denoted by the shifting of this reflected light from side to side. Letter by letter is thus expressed in this flitting idiom in utter silence on the wall. There is no record made by the machinery, except as the patient watcher calls out to a comrade the translated flashes as they come, and which he records. It seems a miracle of patience. Something of awe creeps over us as we see the evidences of a human touch three thousand miles away, swaying that line pf light." .,

VERSAILLES,

June G.—President Thiers

in his conference with the committee appointed by the Assembly to consider the bill concerning the Orleans Princes, urged that conditions should be attached by which the Princes were not to hold office before the expiration of two years, and be liable to expulsion from France if they engage in any intrigue looking to their restoration to the throne. It is now said that Thiers has cause to insist on these conditions.

The bill introduced in the Assembly for rebuilding the column in the Place Vendome has been withdrawn.

LONDON,

June 6.—The House of Lords

An important case involving the title to nearly 200,000 acres of valuable laud in Minnesota has been decided by acting Secretary Cowan, of the Interior Department. The case was between the St. Paul & Pacific Railroad Company, and Geo. F. Brett. The latter claimed he had pre-empted the land, while the company affirmed that it was covered by the land grant of March 3, 1857. Secretary Browning decided no lands whatever should be conveyed to said company until the right of Brett to the land in controversy was recognized by the company. This decision was confirmed by the subsequent Secretary. General Cowan today reversed this decision, and all the lands due the company will be certified to them, excepting the tract claimed by Brett. A warrant will also be issued to Brett for the lands claimed by him, when the validity of their title will doubtless be tested in the courts.

The Republican Representatives, Scott, of Keam, and Johnston, of Pittsburg, are ill, and not able to be present. The Republican candidate for Speaker will probably be Colonel Wm. C. Patten, of Kingston, with J. H. Benton forClerk. Well informed politicians calculate on Weston's election by a close vote—say five and the Democrats say they can elect him, even if the House is organized by the Republicans. The Republican members were not called upon to be present before last evening, but there is already a larger relative representation of members elect present than ever voted in the organization of the Legislature.
