IStlfi SCISSORS. ! —Charles Kean, the tragedian, is lying | ill in Baltimore. j —A steam ferry is in full operation across the Alabama at Selina. —Alexander Dumas is coming to this country on a lecturing tour. —The Catholic churches in New York i have lately contributed 510.429 70 for the American college ii- Rome. - The ladies of Charlottesville Va., are taking steps to establish a home for the children of deceased and disabled Confederate soldiers. —An inveterate bachelor gives as a reason for not getting married, that he wishes to preserve his good opinion of the gentler sex. —Expet intent has determined that petroleum may he advantageously used for the generation of steam, but the pre cise economic value of it its compared with coal has not yet been settled, lull, so far as determined, the superiority rests with petroleum. —The editor of a western paper re marks : “We have adopted the 8-hour system in this ollice. Wo commence work at 8 o’clock in the morning, and end work at 8 in the evening. —Some ladies sprinkle their bus' bands with tears in order that they may sweep the cash out of their poo els— just as people usually sprinkle the floor I before sweeping it. —A “professor,” named DeLacy, who promises to cure everything on earth in j the way of human ills, recently put up in Evansville, Indiana, and after getting $7,000 in advance from a number of duped parties, suddenly decamped from ! that city with the money. —A couple celebrated their silver wedding in Vermont the other day, of j whom it is said that they never exr hanged j a harsh word during their wedded life ot twenty-five years. The most incredul ous will believe it when it is stated that they are deaf mutes. —Even the robber and the cut-thrnat have their followers, who admire their address and trepidity, their stratagems of rapine, and their fidelity to the gang. The liar, and only the liar, is invariably and universally despised, abandoned, I and disowned. —A gold snuff box, presented bv Louis XIV to Colonel John Laurens, of South Carolina, aid-de-camp to General | Washington, on the occasion of that i officer s mission to France/by order of j the American Congress, to negotiate! a loan for his Government, has been j sent to a jeweller in Baltimore by a j widow lady, one of the descendants of j Colonel Laurens, who has been impov erished by the war. There are fifty- i eight diamonds on the cover. —A Salt Lake paper says : “We j have information from good authority i that the Mormon Hierarch recently i announced in grand council, his until- j terabie determination to stand or fall by j polygamy. It was ordered that all ] Church officials should forthwith be in- I structed to promulgate this fact, and urge by every means the entrance into plurality at once of all persons who de sired to hold good standing in the Church, j Immediate compliance was to be re quired, and those who failed or refused, were to be informed that the Church disowned them—all must become poly gamists or be no longer recognized as among the faithful—they must do this for the sake of Brigham, or they were not with him. —A curious case has just been de. cided in London. Col. Campbell sued Lord Wenlock for 300 guineas, the rent of a furnished house in that city from the 22d of April to the Ist of August, 1865. His Lordship admitted taking the house at the above rent, but said that the servants’ rooms were found to be infested with bed bugs. He there' fore left the house immediately. The Chief Justice summed up and told the jury that the question for them to decide was, whether the apartments were in such a condition “as to render the rest and comfort of the inmates impossible.” The jury returned a verdict for the plain tiff for the full amount of the rent, 500 guineas. So it is law in London that any quantity of bed bugs in chambers do not make n house untenantable for a noble family. Snuff, Tobacco, Cigars, Etc. A Dollar Saved is a Dollar Gained.
