Von Moltke never conversed with any of them, but divided his time between, his dinner (he plays an excellent knife ni, ° ° oad Uon - and fork) and profound meditation. One day he drew out of hie pooket ten gold Frederics and laid them by his plate. After dinner was over he put them back again. The following day he did the same thing, and so on for five more. This singular proceeding attracted general attention, and at length an officer asked him politely what his intention was in laying aside that sum. Von Moltke said he would tell him if ho and his officers present promised not to be offended. They pledged their words, of course, ana eagerly expected his answer. “Since I have been coming here,’’said the Field Marshal,“I have observed that your conversation turned exclu sively on actresses, card playing and horse racing—horse racing, card play ing and actresses. Never once has your conversation started any other subject. I intended to give this money to the first among you who said a sensible word.” , m , Garfield, in a wild and plutonic speeoh at Cleveland, Saturday, made use of the following beautiful and chaste comparison: “The ablest orator that Rome ever produced, in describing the political E arty led by Cataline, said that all tho ankrupts, all the desperadoes, all the thieves and robbers and murderers gathered around Cataline, and finally, in a horrible figure of tremendous pow- wheu all modi- oinea that I hare takon for nlno yeara did mo no good.

BY M. DWINELL. in a horrible figure of tremendous pow er, he said that the party of Cataline was ‘the bilge water of Rome.’ What a figure that is my, friends! What do you mean by ‘bilge water?” That wa ter that leaks stealthily through your planks and down below the deck and in the darknees, out of sight, out of reach; it reeks and stagnates and stinks, breeds pestilence and brings death upon all that are on board. Cicero said that that party that gathered in Rome was ‘the bilge water of Home,’ and into, that bilge water, in the cities of Cincinnati and New Yo.-k, the Democratic party desire to insert their political pumps and pump out the hell broth that can poison and corrupt and ruin the freedom of both these great cities, and gain them to the solid South.” Frederick, Md., October 14.—The trial of Felix Muncharner for the mur der of his cousin, James Wethell, came to a sudden stop.
