Vice President Hendricks is awheel horse in a stump speech or set a club. He woke up th<5 Boston Bay State Club, a few days ago, with one of hit old “Hoosier” rattlers. He is a whale, so to speak. It seems to be generally conceded that the next legislature will before to enact a law providing for a proper assessment of property to go into ef fect before property is given in for taxation in 1886. Talmage and Beecher don't agrei on the “evolution" idea. Harmony i as hard to find among the Doctors of Divinity, on this subject, as among the base-ball umpires in the country on an honest count. The ushers who acted at a wedding in Baltimore two years ago. were the pall bearers at the funeral of the bride recently, and invitations to attend the funeral were sent out to all who had been invited to the wedding. Lieut. Scheutze, of the navy, sailed from New York to Europe, yesterday. He goes to carry the rewards of our government to the natives in the vi cinity of the Lena-delta who assisted the survivors of the Jeannette expedi tion. Mr. Conkling says, having been charged with an influence with the ad ministration, “I never saw Mr. Cleve land in my life.’’ This goes to show how strictly Mr. Cleveland has been attending to Ills business, and letting politics and politicians alone, till his life. The Clerk of the House of Repre sentatives says there will be only four contests for seats in the next House, fewer than has been known in forty years. Two of the contests are from Ohio, and are due to Republican ras cality. The editor of the New York Journal of Commerce, one of the oldest and ablest of American Journals, says he has not had a vacation in over forty years. He finds recreation in work, the best place to find it, with the hest results, physically, mentally and pecu niarily. Queen Victoria has just lost her fa vorite dog. Noble, that had been her constant companion in her walks for more than twenty years. Her third great sorrow—firs t, Albert, then John Brown, and now her dog—a trio of troubles far surpassing those with her Ministers, in a personal sense. If every newspaper and disappoint ed politician in Georgia were allowed to make the President's appointments for the public offices in the State, Laban’s cattle would be nearly of a color compared to the complexion of our several State appointments. A Boston statistician says that $1 will buy as much of the necessaries of life to-day, as $1.50 in 18T5. $1.32 in 1855, !»1 cents in 1845 and $1.19 in 1S2A. In other words, the purchasing power of $1 is nineteen per cent greater than it was in 1855. A dollar will buymore to-day than in most previous periods in the history of the ceuntry.

I j iave Iuuc h AVashington, June 30tli. 1885. in half an hour after the Commis sion of the Republican collector at the port of New- A'ork had expired a Dem ocrat had been appointed in his place. The appointment came nearly three days before it was expected, and cre ated considerable surprise in political circles here. The quid nuncs and pol iticians have now had time to pull themselves together, and stare at the situation, and their comments are as diverse as their political biases. The Republicans take a AVilliam AValter Phelps view of the selection, and say it is good for the country but bad for the Democratic party. They are un able to see how much wiser* a politi cian President Cleveland is than was President Garfield, when he created a schism in his party by appointing Mr. Robertson to this same office four years ago. The manner of man Mr. Hedden the new Collector is cannot be better stat ed than by quoting from the letters of those who most intimately know him. In a letter to the President, Bates, Reed and Coolv prominent New York merchants said: “AVe take pleasure in testifying to the excellent business qualities, integrity of character, and high commercial standing of Mr. Hed den among the business men of this city, and to say that we are sure his appointment as Collector of the Port will give great satisfaction to the best business interests of the city. AVe be lieve Air. Hedden to lie thoroughly competent in every direction, a man of thorough-going system, and order in the despatch of business, and a gen tleman who will do honor to the ap pointment if he is so fortunate as to receive this favor at your hands. Daniel Drake Smith one of the old est merchants in New York wrote, “His father, a lawyer, studied in the office of Alexander Hamilton, and fill ed an honorable, and distinguished civic office in this city more than a half a century ago, anil was a repre sentative of the city on the opening of the Erie canal. I do not hesitate to say that from personal knowledge of Collectors of this port since 1832, but one incumbent was as well and not it single one better qualified, in mylopinion. to fill the place than is Air. Hedden. Air. Hedden has always acted with the Democratic party." Mr. Edwin R. Livermore, throws this light on Air. Hedden's political faith, and other characteristics. "He is an unassuming man. a genuine New Yorker, a thorough Democrat through all the rime 1 have known him, calm ly waiting for a return to constitution al principles of government. He has been respected and admired by those even in authority who differed with him politically. His expert testimony hits always been sought and approved in mercantile appraisment, and other Custom House matters. There are few merchants better qualified by taste and education than he for the of fice. Gen. John B. AVoodward's letter adds tliis: “Air. Hedden was born 1828. and entered the employ of AVet- more, Cryder & Co., in 1847. He was employed at once to attend to their Custom House work, anil had general supervision thereof during the whole of his business career. The firm never employed Custom House brokers, ow ing to his thorough acquaintance with the requisite details. He became a partner with the house in May 1859, the style of the firm being changed to AVetmore, Cryder & Co., anil was practically the managing partner of the house from then until the dissolu tion of the partnership in December 1884. A1 r. Hedden is not afraid of the of fice as may he inferred from a remark made on Saturday, he said, “I am thoroughly familiar with every ite- jiartment of the Custom House, and know the duties of every man in it, from the entry clerk to the Collector, 1 am no politician anil although my sympathies are with the county demo crats. I go into the office unpledged, and unbiased. No man and no body of men will find it possible to rule me.” FIELD. I OUT AND FLEET. For more than two years have a host of readers of The Detroit Free Press been living over again the aw ful scenes of war and carnage that desolated a fair and smiling land in the years of their youth and early manhood. The veterans of the blue anil the gray who confronted each other on many a hard-fought field, who dashed at a dauntless foe in charge or foray, or dealt death and destruction to an unseen enemy from trench or embrasure, have held their breath with the reawakened enthusi asm. the okl wild energy anil self-for getfulness of battle and* raid and mid- jlit encounter, as they have follow ed step by step the quick and steady pace wherewith a brave and true anil honest Union soldier has led them through the ruins of a loved and uti- forgotten past. And as those who have grown gray and staid, and upon whom the weight of years has borne not always lightly since the days of '61 and '65, have re-enacted with quicken ed heart-beats, with surging, eager, tender memories, the valorous, the successful or disastrous achievements of the mighty war of which they were part and parcel, so have the youth and children of the present generation rejoiced that the deeds anil sufferings* of their fathers upon either side, have found a chronicler to render equal and generous justice, and the homage that brave men owe to each other, wherev er that justice and homage are due. The brilliant and vigorous sketches of the AVar of Secession, that, from the facile and truth-loving pen of “M. Quad" (Air. Lewis.) have been for many months appearing in the col umn’s of The Detroit Free Press are gathered together, and with much new matter that has never been pub lished elsewhere or in other form, constitute the contents of a green and gold bound volume, which, contain ing a number of finely executed en gravings and small cuts, is issued by The Detroit Free Press Publishing Company under the graphic descrip tive titje of “Field, Fort and Fleet." Its chapters make no pretense to be ing consecutive and continuous histo ry. but present in vividly realistic ar ray ii series of glowing word pictures of the most notable battles, assaults and incidents of the civil war, with the addition of many circumstances of historic interest never before re corded. Commendation at this late day of these already widely known and its universally appreciated contri butions of “H. Quad" (as he has elioeen to be called) to the permanent literature of his time, are almost the work of supererogation. Few periodi cal publications, of recent years—cer tainly none relating to the war, whose sites and happenings he has made the subject of personal untiring inspec tion. investigation and research—have aroused such general interest and ap proval as have been by common con sent awarded to these thrilling de scriptions and reminiscences! that are animated throughout their length with a rarely beautiful love for and adherence to a strict and impartial equity, generosity and fair dealing. The present volume brings its records down to a period near the close of the year 1863. The work is to be sold by subscription only, agents and can vassers being wanted for different States and Territories.—New Orleans Times-Demoerat.

You will frequently see a woman who wears a hat covered all over with little birds, spanking her son because he will throw stones at the robins, and scolding her husband because he goes hunting.

Ham Jones, whose reputation as a revivalist has rapidly spread over a continent:— I would not let my cook go to a german. Dancing is nothing but hug ging set to music. “1 have doubts,” says one. AVeli. you just quit your meanness and you will quit your doubting. If a man hasn't enough religion to pray in his family he hasn't enough to save his soul with. It's not so much when and where a man joins the church. Its all right, just so he sticks up to it. Be honest and pay your debts. There are too many men in the church boarding with their wives. Get in the right attitude and faith will come. Bread is the gift of God. at the end of a plough handle. Have religion at home, train your children right, and no revival will he needed. Religion is catching. There is not a man in Chattanooga who doesn't have family prayers that has got as much religion as a goat. Twelve years ago I consecrated my self to God, and since that time have never had an invitation to a ball. A man's hates and liis likes deter mine character; a man's affinities determine what lie is and who he is. I got mighty low down, low down indeed, but 1* never got low enough to be a member of the Georgia Legisla ture. There was never a sinner in this town, however hoarv headed, who would want the churches done away with. Do you think a pale, weak looking fellow like me could preach four times a day the year round if 1 wasn’t uplif ted by the grace of God. In certain places they tell von ifS’ou want to get into society yon must join our church. If you want to go to hell join tiiat church. That is the plain English of it. If I could have my choice getting into heaven between church, Sunday school, prayer meetings and a good mother, I would take the latter and lie sure of the better home above. There are two kinds of talk we should not indulge—smutty talk and gossip; of the two, though. 1 would rather be smutty.

Order is heaven’s first law. Cleanliness is next to godliness. First be sure you are right then hold your grip AI isery loves company, and evil-mind ed people are unwilling to travel the dark roail to perdition alone.

It is easy enough to go down hill; all you have got to do is to give a loose rein to your passions and appe tites and you will rush headlong into the bottomless pit. One of the men now most promi nent in English political affairs lias an American wife, and another has a son who is married to an American lady. Randolph Churchill's wife was Miss Jerome, of New Y'ork, and the son of Sir Stafford Northcote is the hus band of ex-Seeretary Hamilton Fish's daughter Edith. Col. T. AV. Higginson calls attention to the fact that among well known au thors now living or recently deceased, there is a long list of literary men who did not receive a collegiate education, embracing such names as AVhipple, Fields, Trowbridge, Bayard Taylor, Stoddard, AVhitman, Parton. Eggles ton, Harte, Howells, James, Clemens, Aldrich, Stockton, Cable, Crawford, Lathrop. Gilder, Harris and Carleton. As Air. Higginson remarks, it is evi dent that these men have been just as essentially trained in literature at the printer’s case, or in the editorial chair, or bv studious years in the world at large as if they had passed through one of our inadequately equipped colleges. This shows that there is more in the man than in the system of education. O. Zapp Dreamed of Sudden Wealth. Orsini Zapp, of Round Top, Fayette Co., Texas, is night constable there.

Just three months since, and we were all so happy in the little country vicarage; and then, in visiting one of his people, my poor father caught a dangerous fever, while tending to him my dear mother was stricken with the same complaint, and ere 3 weeks hail passed Minna and I sat in the little st uily alone, in deep black: for the strug gle liad been brief, and those we loved lay together in the green churchyard, and we were only intruders now in the little vicarage’ that had been our home. AVe were nearly penniless, too, hut a brother clergyman of my father's, quite as poor,* came forward and of fered us a temporary home till, as he said, some opening should occur for us. 1 gladly accepted it for Alinna ; but for myself, 1 was determined to try great London, and, unaided, battle for myself. In two years John Mur ray was to come hack from Australia to fetch me for'his wife, and till then I would be independent. So the day came at last when, with many tears, we two girls had to separate, anil with aching heart 1 left the old Lincoln shire home, and reached the great dreary void of London early one af ternoon. I was not long in finding a room where I could stay, hut tlie surround ings made ii almost unendurable.— Still I could do no better. One after noon my landlady evidently suspic ious of my ability to pay, and per haps disgusted with my miserable way of living, and afraid’I should be left an invalid upon her hands, she had— rudely, it seemed to me—requested me to leave. In my present circumstances I was ntterlv prostrated by the news, for I dared’not take lodgings elsewhere; ami I could see nothing now but to sell a portion of my scanty wardrobe and go back to beg for assistance from my father's friends. AVhat a change ! and how soon had my hopes of independent action been blighted! 1 was lieartsore as I felt how that in that great city there was wealth being squandered and luxury around me while I was literally starv ing ; for my poor living was telling upon me fast. AVliat should 1 do? AVhat should 1 do? It was with weary iteration I had said these words and wept until tears would come no more, and a dull, stol id feeling of despair had come upon me. I had almost shrunk away in the streets from the bright-faced liappv girls I passed. It was a bright, sunshiny morning when 1 awoke to hear some one knocking at my door, and, hurrying on a few things, I answered. “All ! I was just going to take 'em down again", said the landlady harsh ly. “Some folks can afford to lay in lied all day, 1 can't. Here's two let ters for you, and mind this, Miss Lau rie ; I never bargained to come tramp ing up to the top of the house with letters anil messages for you." “I'm very much obliged, Mrs. Rud dock,” I said gently, as I took the let ters with trembling hands, while mut tering and complaining, their bearer went down stairs. It seemed very hard then, but I believe it was tlie woman’s habit, and that she was not bad at heart, but warped and canker ed by poverty, hard work, and ill- usage from a drunken husband whom she entirely kept. One letter, I saw at a glance, was front Alinna. the other was in a strange, crabbed hand, and I longed to read them ; but exercising my self- denial, I dressed, lit my fire, and pre pared my very frugal breakfast before sitting down*and devouring Alinna’s news. AVhat right had I to murmer as I did last night, I asked myself, when she was evidently so happy and con tented? And then 1 opened, with fluttering hand, the other letter, and was puzzled by it at first: but at last I recalled the* fact that three weeks before I had answered an advertise ment in the Times, where a lady wanted a companion. The note was very brief and curt, and ran as follows: “If Miss Laurie is not engaged she can call upon Mrs. Langton Porter, 47 Morton street, Park A r illage South, at 11 o'clock to-morrow (Thursday).” “At last I” I said to myself, joyfully, anil with beating heart I prepared myself for the journey, for the‘ap pointment was for that moring. Just as I had pretty well timed my self for my walk a sudden squall came on, the sky was darkened, snow fell heavily, and in place of a morning in spring we seemed to have gone back into winter, for the snow lay thickly in a very short time, anil the branches of the trees in the squares were whit ened. AVeak as I was I fought my way bravelv on until 1 reached the place. “Pll’take your note in," said the footman, as 1 handed it. “Aou can sit down.” I pseferred to stand, and as soon as I was alone I shivered with cold and fear as I caught a glance of my pale, sallow face in the great mirror. Ev ery moment I expected to see the owner of the place, but I remained standing wearily for an hour, and then I sighed and turned wistfully to look at the door, wondering if the footman hail Taken in the note which I had given him as my passport. I started, for close oehind me, hav ing entered unheard, was a rather plump tall lady in black. She was dressed as if for going out, and well wrapped in furs. “Oh! you are waiting,” she said, harshly, and a shade of displeasure crossed her face as she looked at me till my eyes dropped. “There, Miss- Miss—” “Laurie," I suggested. “A r es, yes ; I know.” she said sharp ly; “it is’in my note. Pray, why in the name of common sense did you not sit down ? Take that chair. Now then, have you been companion to a lady before?” “No ma'am.” I replied ; and then in answer to her questions, all very sharply given, i told her as much as was necessary of my story. “I don't think you will suit me.” she said, “I've hail misery enough, and I want some one cheerful and pleasant, a lady whom I can trust, and who will be a pleasant compan ion. There, I’m sure there is not such a body in London, for the way I’ve been imposed on is dreadful! I’ve had six in six months, and the num ber of applications I have had nearly drove me out of my senses: I've had one since you wrote to me—a creature whose sole idea was herself. I want one who will make me her first consid eration. I don't mind wliat I pay, but I want some one tall and ladylike; and vou are not pretty, you know.” I shook uiv head spdly. “Humph ! Well,” she went on, “you won’t be so giddy and be always thinking of getting married. There, you need not blush like that; it s wliat all the companions I have had seem to think about. A’ou don t, I suppose?” . „ T “I am engaged to be married, 1 said, hanging down my head, “m a couple of years.” * “Ho! AVeli, he musat come here for I’m very selfish, pragmatical old woman; anil if I engage you which 1 don't I shall do—I should want you all to myself. AVhat's he?" “A settler- abroail,” 1 faltered, t V,?° LI hat . s better; and perhaps he 11^ settle there altogether without you.” I looked at her indignantlv, and she laughed. How old are you?” "Twenty" I said, shivering, for her rough way repelled me, and 1 longed to bring the interview to an end. AVhy, the girls cokl!" she said roughly. “H'm, twenty ! Here, go up to the fire, and have a good warm; it’s dreadful weather. There, pull off your bonnet and jacket. Put them on that chair, and go closer to the lire; I've a deal to say to you yet, for I'm not going to engage any young person and have to change directly.” I obeyed her. trembling the while, for I was very weak ; and she went on asking me questions and making com ments. Can you play? “A*es ma'am." “A’ou are warm uow, go and play something. Can you sing?" “Yes ma’am.” “Now go and play and sing some thing, and mind. 1 don't want my ears deafened with fireworks, and the drums split with parrot shriek lira- vuras. Sing something sweet and simple and old-fashioned, if you can,” she added ungraciously. I crossed the room, and sat down to the magnificent piano, and for the next five minutes I seemed to be far away, down in the old home, as I forgot where 1 was, singing my poor dead father's favorite old ballad, “Robin Adair;” while, as I finished, 1 had hard work to keep back the tears. “Ro—bin A—dair", she sang, as I rose, in a not unpleasing voice. ’“Now let me hear you read. I always make my companion read to me a great ileal: and mind this, I hate to hear any drone like a school girl. Go over there into the comer of the window, and stand there. Take that book ; vou'll find the mark I left in where Miss Belleville—bah ! 1 believe her name was Stubbs, and her father a green grocer—left off. Now then be gin.” ; She pushed a lounge chair close up to the window, and sat down with her hands in her muff, while I stood there feeling like a school 1 girl and ready to drone, as I began to read with fal tering voice what happened to he Thackery's most beautiful chapter— the death of poor Coionel Newcombe. 1 know my voice trembled at times, and a strange sense of choking came upon me as 1 went on battling, oh, so haril to read these piteous, heart stirring lines! but I was weak anil suffering, 1 was faint with hunger and exertion, sick with dispair of hope de ferred, and, at last the room with its costly furniture, seemed to swim round before me, a cold perspiration bathed my face, and with a weary sigh I caught feebly at tlie curtains, anil then fell heavily upon the polish ed iloor. I have some faint memory of being lifted anil wheeled in a chair whose castors 1 heard chirrup, to the front of the fire, and then as my senses be gan to return, l seemed to feel arms around me and a pleasant voice say ing, half aloud; "And she has just lost her poor father, too—to set her to read such a thing as that! i declare I’m about the wickedest, most thoughtless and un feeling old woman under the sun.” Then there was. the refreshing odor of a'vinaigrette, and the sick feeling began to pass away." “I—I beg pardon,” I faltered, trying to rise. “I beg yours, my dear." she said tenderly. “Sit still, sit still. Now, then, try and drink that.” Some sherry was held to my lips and then I was almost forced to eat bis cuit. They however, rapidly revived me, and I found Airs. Porter had torn off her bonnet and mantle, and was kneeling by my side. “That’s better, my dear," she said, smiling at me. as she passed her arm around me and drew me nearer to her and kissed me in a gentle, motherly way. And uow this was too much, for I was weak and hysterical. I could fight against harshness, but her ten der words and ways unlocked the floodgates of my grief, and I laid my head down and sobbed as if my heart would break. An hour later, after she liad literally forced me to partake of the breakfast ordereil up. and sat beside me. and held my hand, and more than once I saw the tears steal down her pleasant face as she won from me, bit by bit, the story of my trouble, and my bitter struggles here in town. At last I rose to go, trembling and expectant. AVould she engage me? It was more than I dared to hope. “Sit still, child.” she said tenderly. “It has pleased Goil to make me—a childness widowed woman—His stew ard over much wealth, and if I did not make this a home for one of His tempest-smitten lambs 1 should he a worse woman than I think I am. Stay with me: we shall be the best of friends." m I stayed—stayed to know her real worth and to win her motherly love- stayed to find when John Alurray re turned, that his love was greater for my sister than for me, and I patient ly resigned my love to her. and then battled with it long illness when they had gone together to the far-off home.

THE INSANITY OF A BRIDE THE MORN ING AFTER HER MARRIAGE. Sparta, Ga,, June 28.—A clever pro gressive and well-to-do young gentle man of AVashington county, led to the hymeneal altar a few days ago a bon- nie lass, of sixteen summers, in an adjoining county. A few hours after the ceremony the couple, full of bright anticipations of wedded bliss departed for the county of the groom where a nice home awaited them. On the way they stopped at the residence of the groom's brother, the latter having a few years since married a sister of the newly made bride, and were per suaded to pass the night. To the amazement of the young husband and his brother's family the youthful Utide on the succeeding morning betrayed symptoms of insanity, which impeded her to attempt to take her life by swal lowing laudanum to tlie amount of a bottle full. The discovery was made in time to save the young ladv, but she has been confined to Iter bed ever since at her brother-in-law's home.
