OHAMBEBLAIN ABBIVES IN WASHINOTON WITH THE TRADITIONAL OABPET-BAQ. Washington, March 27.—The Star says tbare ia not a few who believe that Gov. Ohambarlain will not return to South Carolina. His wife, it is ssid, reached this city several dayaago with the children and several Saratoga trunks. The Governor, however, brings only the tra ditional oerpet-bag. Although the goa- sips suggest that Mm. 0., may have brought the personal effoots of the family in the trunks. Hampton's friends asy that if any com promise is suggested by which Chamber lain, through tbs consolidation of the Legislature, offers, like J. N., to the mar tyrdom of himself for the Senator ship, that he will refuse to entertain any prop osition looking to that end. If the oon- ferenoe between the rival exeentive claim ants does not result in the unconditional abdioation of Chamberlain and Hampton proposes to have him ejeeted under tbs existing State laws, and all be will ask is that the United States allow the oivil pro- oeas of the aoorts to be served upon him.

Stafford, Conn., Maroh 27.—Tha dam of the Stsffordviile reservoir gave way this morning. The damage to this vil lage is fearful. The railroad freight house and all the oars were washed sway. The passenger depot is all right. The Stafford National Bank, Congregational Cburoh, and about fifteen other buildings have been washed away. The damage to the railroad 4raok is heavy. Telegrsphio warnings wars sent to Norwioh and vioinity, and tha flood is going in that direction. DAMAGE TWO MILLION OF DOLLARS. Habtfobd, Maroh 27.—Tha probable loss at Stafford slone-fis two millions. State Senator Jniios Converse telegraphs all the dams on the stream from Stafford- ville to a point below the springs with all the bridges are gone. Probably not lens than thirty honses were destroyed, the loss will be very large. The data was considered safe, bat the heavy rains of Monday afternoon and evening filled the reservoir to overflowing. The breaking twey was wholly unexpeoted, but the reservoir being eat some distance above the'village the alarm reached the people in time for them to effeot their safety. Auction or Prlate at Philadelphia Special to Enquirer-Sun.] New York, Maroh 27.—David Brown A Co., of Philadelphia, sold their entire etook of Gloucester end Auemn prints to day by auction.

Liverpool, Maroh 27.—Tha Pott atatea the uncovered liabilities of Issao Low A Co., a suspended cotton honao, era aati mated at $250,000, ohitfly on arrival con tracts. ology in whioh an agreement oan ad, we osnnot wonder that negotiations era interrupted. The fact is, though, ac cording to the formalities of diplomsoy. England end Russia have been eli along oocabined for a common purpose. The two countries have gradually assumed suoh a position of antagonism that they are regarded on the continent a* two rivals in n great controversy, whioh may possibly develop into e greet oonflict. In Bnaaia the notion prevails that tha Turks are inoited against Russia by English ani mosity, and in England tha people believe that Russia threatens oertain of onr inter ests from instinotive impulses or a settled poiioy. It may be too late to change these feelings. We know tbe sitnstion of Rnaeie, and. on onr aide the resolutions and demeanor of the Government are fixed for a period before the end of whioh all will be deoided. It is no less regret- able that the two government* seem in capable of arriving at an understanding, and hava now, as far as we oan ess, no point of view in oommon. The result must be to msks the preservation of pesoe by means of a European agrsament almost impracticable. If Bnssia has in dependent reasons of her own for reopen, ing there may be no war. Bat ministers and ambassadors are now at the end of their suggestions, at least this is the case with tbe representatives of Bnssia and England. The consequence of this is that those who do not despair torn to the oen- tral powers ss ospable possibly of some mediation. Tha eyes of Europe now tarn ones more to tho members of the Tripple Atlisnoa. Anstris, from her geo graphical situation, has the prepondera ting infiuenos in the Eastern Question end the nearer the prospects of war, the more important does her part become. Daring the first days of the insurrection Austria, might have produoed paoifloa- tion by » week’s energetio notion. That time is now past. Austrian , tion of Bosnia and Harsagovina would certainly not produce pesos, bnt would aanotion the invasion of Turkey by a Ruasien army. If there is war there mast be n great war, and any power that interferes must be prepared to wage a great war also. Though Austria might, by unity of power and resolution to sot energetically, take the deoision into her hands, it is almost oertain she will leave the Russian Government to take its oourse, reserving to herself future liberty of action aooording to oiroumstanoee. Tha controlling forces in a possible war will largely proceed from neighboring empires, end in this . sense the belief at fit. Petersburg ia, that through the failure of an Enropaan understanding the Im perial ailianoe oomes to the foreground his a oertain justification. LONDON OOBBESFONDXNT INTERVIEWS IONA- TXZFF. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] London, Msroh 27.— Ignstisff is re ported as effeoting a oonviotion that the negotiations with England era not inter rupted, and that there only exists a slight misunderstanding; yet he expresses him self with much bitterness at what be styles the prejudices and the false tradi tion of the poiioy of Great Britain. The oonferenoe oannot end in smoke, be aeys, and the sole question is whether its de cisions are to be enforced by Europe or by Russia alone. Russia, he insists, has made immense sacrifices by mobilizing, and she osnnot demobilize without getting something in return. It is only to satisfy pnblio opinion, the correspondent continues, but I observe you yourselves form publio opinion in Russia “Ga cut notre affair.” He re plied witbgrest vivaoity. On my observing that hs wanted Con stantinople, he replied, that Russia would not sooept that city ware it offered on s golden dish. Russia knows exactly whet the English fleet can do end bow far pe cuniary aid can help Turkey. All this has been duly considered end the Czar would sooner go to war than en dure taunts from Turkey. He has not demanded Austria’s intervention, because it is not required. He declines to bs re sponsible for the recent negotiations, whioh, he says, were conducted by the Russian embassy in London. Pointing to e oopy of the protocol (which was lying the table full of erasures end corrections), he exolaimed that the document might avert war if England would only under stand that her interests ars identical with onrs and not with those of Turkey. What the General said to me is so thoroughly in opposition to what reaches mo from other sonroes, at least equally trustworthy, that I will oonfine myself to this brief aooount, which undoubtedly hss its im portance. There were two fresh outbreaks. Tbe Commons adjourned for the Easter holidays. MONTZNIGBO AND TURKEY.

Not from Darw n.] One of tha delightful days of last week a young lady, well known in the exolusive first oircles of San FranoiBOo society for unrivaled personal charms and elegance of accomplishments, was driven around to make a congratulatory call upon a mar ried lady friend who was hsppily cunva lesoing from that occasional saored event iu the lives of wedded ladies, which, far from being a sickness, is tbe perfeot cul mination of their health. She was shown into the parlor, and for the few minutes required to arrange for the reception in that room where mother and ohild were doing as wall as could be expooted, was left with no other to entertain her than the ouly son and heir of the house, Mas- ter Charles, then iu his fourth year. But Charlie was fully equal to the situation, and promises to grow np into an orna ment of sooiety that will never be abash ed by beauty, however brilliant, into tbe painful negative of “no conversation.” After some unessential preliminary re marks, Master Charles approached nearer the visitor, and, lowering his tone into the confidential, asked: “Miss , oo dot a baby ?” Tbe young lady gave one swift glance around to assure berself there was no oth er bearer of this pertinent question, and replied: “No, Charlie, dear; I have not.” “And did oo never have a baby ?” In spite of the youth of her eager in terlocutor her handsome eyes dropped be- for his ingenuous gaze, and her pretty face flushed as she replied : “No, Charlie, I never did. Is not this a beautiful day ?” “And ain’t oo never doin to have no baby?" persisted Charlie, deolining to euter on tho tempting oonversationsl side track of the weather. “My boy, I can’t tell. Tell me all the names of whom those are tbe photo graphs ?" *‘A And don't oo want a baby ?” “Why, Charley, what a olose question er yon are. If you are not careful you will grow into ouc of those newspaper in terviewers, and then what will your poor mama think of you ?” “Because," continued Charlie, utterly refusing to be switched off. “I know where oo tan det one. Tbe dootor brongbt my mama one, and he kcepth them in kith offitli. You jutk do down Eiith threet, and den oo do down Tarney threet ever tho far, and den do np a lot of tbairth end thath whero hs teepa ’em. And they’re awful cheap, too. My papa hathn’t paid for my mamma’s baby yet, but hath doing' to.” “Well, Charley, I’m Bure I'm much obliged to you for your full directions, end I'll know just where to go.” "Oh, Mitb , oo needn't do. I’ll tell my pepe, juth atb tboon ath ever be turns home that oo want a baby, and he'll det one for oo, and—" That young lady seized that little boy by bis two shoulders, and leaning over an ss to look full into bis eyes, she said, with an impressiveness lent by sudden terror; “See heie, Charley, listeu to me. I don't want any baby yet, and if you over say anything about it to your papa I’ll never like you any more at all, at all, never, never, nover. Now, will you promise ?" “Well, if oo don’t want a baby I won’t; bnt I t'ot everybody liked to have a ba- bieth. I do." The interview was here terminated by the entranoe of a servant to usher the visitor into the presence of the oouvaies 1 oent lady.— San Francisco Paper. A CABINET MEETING. New York Sun.] “ Webb, ” said Mr. Heyee to his mild- eyed son the other morning “yon may put the ohaira around the table in the Ezeeu- tive Chamber, for matters of weighty import are to be disoussed this day.” “Now, Rutherford,” interposed Mre. Hayes, “yon are doing too muoh brain work. Yon never did muoh brain work before ws came to Washingon. I know it’s wearing on yon, for I see a ohange already. Yon frequently press yonr hand to your forehand. Yon leave yonr nio* giasa of sweetened milk and water almost nntastsd at breakfast.

Thera sat the mysterious Demorepnblioretioan of Bank, er Hill. Thero set honest John Sherman, his fsoe glowing with all the troth and osudor of Ds Vinoi’s Judas. There in two chairs, sat the new patent double-notion counterpoising Postmaster General from Tenniana. There, in a soft easy obsir out of tbe draught, sat the Heart Bowed Down, wondering at bis luok muoh might wonder a tramp who suddenly found himself installed a welcom guest in a Murray Hill reoepliau room. There, at tbe head of the table,sat the so-called Pres ident, with a wet handkerohief arouud his head, looking very haggard and very un. happy. “Gentlemen,” he said, after a long pe riod of silence, “the political situation has occasioned me muoh thought.

Give it a trial. mh28-2t weddsat THE FIRST HAN. Some repairs were needed to the engine when tbe train reaahed Reno, and while most of the passengers were taking a phi losophical view of the delay and mak ing themselves ea comfortable as possible in the depot, in walked a native. He wasn't a native Indian, nor a native griz zly, bnt a native Nevadian, and he was rigged out in imperial style. He wore a bearskin cost snd cap, buckskin leggings snd moooasins, and in bis belt was a big knife and two revolvers. There was light ning in his ays, destruction in his walk, and ns be sauntered np to the red-hot stove end soettered tobacco- juice over it, a dozen passengers looked pale with fear. Among the travellers was a oar painter from Jersey Uity, and after surveying the native for a moment, be coolly inquired: “Aren’t yon afraid you'll fall dowu and hurt yourself with those weapons?” “W—what!" gasped the native in as tonishment. “I suppose they sell suoh outfits as you've got on at auotion out here, don't they?" eontinued tbe painter. “W—what's d'ye mean—who ar’ ye ?" whispered the native as he walked around tbe stove and put on a terrible look. My name ie Logwood," was the oalm reply, “and I mean that, if I were you, I’d crawl out of those old duds, and put on some deoent clothes 1" “Don't talk that way to me, or you won't live a minit I” exolaimed tho native as he hopped around. “Why, you bome- siok coyote. I’m Grizzly Dan, the heav iest Indian fighter in tbe world I I was the first white man to scout for Geueral Crook! I was the first white man iu tbs Blsok Hills ! I was tbe first white man among the Modocs!” ‘I don’t believe it 1” flatly replied tbe painter. “Yon look mure like the first white man down to tbe dinuer table!” The native drew hia knife, put it baok again, looked around, and then softly asked : “Stranger, will ye coma over behind the ridge and Bhoot and slash till this thing is settled ?” “You bet I will!" replied tbe man from Jersey, as ho rose up. “Just pace right out and I’ll follow. Every man in tbe room jumped to bis feet in wild excitement. The native started for tbe back door, but when be found tbs oar painter at bis heels, with a six-barrelled Colt in bis hand, he halted and said: “Friend, come to think of it, I don’t want to kill you and have your widow come on me for damages.” “Go right ahead—I’m not a married man," replied tbe painter. “But you've got relatives, aud I don't want no law auitB to bother me just as spring is ooming.” “I’m an orphan, without a relative iu the world,” shouted the Jerseyite. “Well, the law will make me bury you, and it wonld be a week's work to dig a grave at thia season of tho year. I think I’ll break a rib or two for you, smash your noise, gouge out your left oye, and let it go at that!" “That suits me to a dot!” said the painter. “Gentlemon, please stand baok, and some of you shut tbe door to tbe ladies’ room !" “I was tbe first man to attack a grizzly bear with tbe bowie knife,” remarked tbe native as be looked around. “I was the first man to discover silver in Nevada. I made tbe first soout up Powder river. I was tbe first man to make hunting- shirts out of the skins of l’awuee Iudians. I don't want to hnrt this man, as be seems kieder sad and down-hearted, but he must apologise to me.” “I wou't do it!" oried tbe painter. “Gentlemen, I never fight without tak ing off my coat and I don’t see any nail here to hang it on,” said the native. “I'll hold it—I'll held it!" shouted dozen voices in eborus. “And another thing,” softly eontinued the native. I never fight in a hot room. I used to do it years ago, but I found it was running me into the consumption. I always do my fighting out doors now.” “I'll go out with you, you old rabbit- killer!” exolaimed tbe painter who bad bia ooat off. “That's another deadly insult, to be wiped out in blood, and I see I must fin ish yon. I never fight around a depot, though. I go out on the prairie, where PRINTING BOOK BINDING Every Description, LOWEST PRICES!
