Wall street is manifesting new interest in the mythical Baltimore and Ohio deal. It Is not surprising. Wall street naturally clings to myths. In New York there are 2,300 Smiths. It is a tribute to the honesty of the trite that it is seldom tliat one of the number is ar rested for crime. Jay Gould says: “What the country needs is to be let alone.” Why doesn't he set the example and cease to gobble up so much of the country's money? New York city claims to bo growing at the rate of 00,000 a year. It is to te hoped that she is not growing any material for more boodle aldermen. Jersey City has an accumulation of un paid taxes amounting to $0,000,000. Evi dently some of Jersey City's inhabitants need to have their consciences awakened. It is onnounced that a Western city has an Ananias Club. Every city in the country could have such a club if somebody would only organize the material that lies around. .Anti-treating societies are being formed in New York, and that city claims the honor of having originated the idea. The claim lacks foundation. To Macon, Ga., bi-longs the honor of having organized the first anti-treating society. An Illinois school teacher who kept a hoy sitting on a chunk of ice for two hours, as a punishment lias, teen fined *3OO by one of the State courts. Such a piece of outrageous cruelty ought to have sent the teacher to prison for a good long time. Ex- Assistant Secretary Coon, of whom the papers once made so much fun, has turned up as a developer of Southern rail road interests. While in London, recently, he succeeded in placing a loan of $750,000 for a Southern railroad company. The anti-prohibition papers of Texas claim that their side of the contest now in progress will triumph by at least 75,000 majority. The claim may prove to lie cor rect, but if it does it will tea pity. The country would like to see how Texas would act without whisky. The Boston Post is authority for the state ment that there was a base ball game the Other day in a Massachusetts town between nines from the Methodist and I’reshytcriun churches. Unless the umpire was an ungel iiKW|Mible of erring, it goes without suying that tin' Presbyterian nine fell from grace easily as the Methodist. A limn named Jutnes Fitzgibbons, aged 03 years, was put in juil at Pottsville, Pa., some weeks ago, for threatening his son and a widow, with whom the young man lived. On the day Fitzgibbons was to have boon liberated ho was found dead in his cell with his throat cut. Ntrunge a.s it may seem, tie preferred death to liberty. Goo. Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, says of Mr. Blaine: “I think Mr. Blaine is more eager than ever to ho the nominee for President. lie will never give up that am bition.” The General soon is to forget that Mr. Blaine, like all other men, must <lio. He will give up his never-to-bo-gratifled ambi tion when he finds himself on tile brink of tho grave. ♦ Near Middleton, N. Y., the other day, a lad named Cowser was at work in a hay field during a heavy thunder storm. Light ning struck him on top of the bead, leaving him unconscious and apparently dead. He noon rwovered, however, and next day was at work as usual. A lad with such a hard head ought to grow up to he a man with hurd Reuse. The New York Times is authority for the statement, that ill Washington Congressmen are tqionly tho patrons of bucket shop*,. One (Senator from Virginia—whose name was in everybody’s mouth who mentioned things political a year or two ago—is said to have made over $50,000 last winter by pur chases and saiw over a bucket shop counter. Doubtless the Congressmen who gamble in the buckut shops think they deserve credit I for being so open about the buiduow. Sherman's Plan in Ohio The Republicans of Ohio are taking more I interest in politics at present than either the Republicans or Democrats of any other Ktftte. Their State convention meets at Toledo on July 27, and it is understood that Senator Sherman intends to have a resolu tion introduced pledging the Ohio delegation to him for President. It is said that some of his friends have advised him against this course as it will, m all probability, do him more harm than good. Their advice, how - ever, has not, it seems, changed h> purpose. He thinks that he might as well maugurat - tin- tight for the Presidential nomination <>f his party at once, and find out exactly bow he stands at home. If he cannot secure the delegation of his own State he might as well withdraw from the contest. For eleven years he has Ijeen a Presidential candidate, and he has never yet been able to secure a united delegation. He lias regard ed himself as Ohio’s favorite son and has depended upon the regard in which he has always te-en held in his State for the support of the Ohio delegation. He has always suf fered disappointment, and now he proposes to adopt different taciii-s. Some of those who are pretending to give him a warm supjort are believed to secretly favor Blaine, and there are strong reasons for thinking that if a resolution is offered at the Toledo convention, declaring him to lie the favorite of the Ohio Republicans, it will not te adopted by a very largo majority, if, indeed, it is adopted at all. Blaine is strong in Ohio, and it is probable that he has more supporters there than Sherman has. While the latter is admired and trusted he lacks the ability to make warm friend*, flame's maguetic manners and his dashing ways captivate the Republi cans in Ohio, as they do in other States. One of the strongest of the Republican journals of Ohio i3 the Toledo Diode. That journal, a few weeks ago, sent thousands of inquiries to Republicans in all parts of the country relative to the first and second choices for President and Vice President. Nearly 24,003 replies were received. They show that as between Blaine and Sherman the former is first choice by nearly two to one. and that Robert T. Lincoln is first choice for Vice President by nearly seven to one. Sherman leads all other candidates for second choice, and, of course, stands next to Blaine for first choice. The iriost significant thing in the replies, however, is contained in those from Ohio Republicans. Blaine has the majority. This would seem to indicate pretty plainly that Sherman lias not much chance of get ting a solid delegation from his own State, and without that he hasn’t a ghost of a chance for getting the nomination. There is not much doubt in the public mind that Blaine will be the Republiean candidate. He may pretend as much as he likos that he does not care to lead his party in 1883, but he will not succeed in convinc ing the people that he is not as ambitious to be nominated again as he was to receive the nomination in 18*4. He has lieen, und is still, working to satisfy this ambition, and while he has worked more quietly than Shei-man he has worked more successfully. Yes, Blaine will be the Republican can didate and ho will l>e again beaten by Mr. Cleveland. The Baltimore and Ohio Deal. The Baltimore and Ohio deal is again agi tating Wall street, but nothing definite with regard to it has reached the public. There are several stories afloat. One of them is that Mr. Ives, of the firm of Ives and Stay nor, who hold an option on the property, has offered the Baltimore and Ohio tele graph line to Mr. Gould for *4,1**),000. Both Mr. Gould and Mr. Ives deny that there is any truth in this story. Another story is that Mr. Garrett has become tired of renew ing Mr. Ives’ option, and has threatened to sell the securities which are pledged to make it good. Mr. Ives obj*ets to this and threatens Mr. Garrett with a lawsuit. How much truth there is in this statement no one seems to know. Mr. Gould is reported as saying that the deal is progressing favora bly, and that ull the facts with regard to it will soon Is- made public. The public would oortainlyliko to know the true inwardness of this Baltimore anil Ohio matter. It is pretty certain that about, all the stories which have been circulated with regard to it have originated with par ties who know little or nothing ateut, it. Beyond tho fact that Messrs. Ives and Stay n'or have an option on the Baltimore and Ohio property nothing with regard to the deal is known with certainty. It has been several months since the deal was first an nounced, and the general opinion in Wall street appears to bo that it is about time for it to be concluded. When It was first talked about Mr. Gould claimed to have nothing to do with it, but at present he not only appears to be well informed witli respect to it but also to te in some way connected with it. It would not be at all surprising if the property should finally pass Into his posses sion. He appears to have more ready money than anybody else, and th Baltimore and Ohio is certainly a very desirable property. Sharp’s Sentence. The sentence of Jacob Sharp is a rather severe one when the fact is taken into con sideration that it is not preliable that he will live through one-half liis term in the penitentiary, but it is not more severe than he deserves, nor than will lie sustained by public sentiment. His age and his weak physical condition do not entitle him to any los* punishment than a younger and stronger man convicted of a like offense. It was not the duty of the court to con sider Jacob Sharp’s infirmities, and tho sentence imposed upon him was not for the solo purpose of punishing him. The inter ests of society are of fur more importance than Jacob Sharp. Rich ami unscrupulous men of New York who use their wealth to corrupt the |>eoplo’s servants now know that they are in its much danger of iieing sent to tho penitentiary as those who accept their gold and tetruy the trust the people have conferred upon them. Heretofore the bribe-takers huvo been punished when caught, but the bribe givers have been allowed to go free. The conviction and sentence of Jacob Sharp will tend to check the bribing of public officials in New York, and perhaps elsewhere, be cause his fate will boa warning to other men of bis character that they will likely heed. _ „ _ The negro ex-Union soldiers in Iz.iiisiniia are disposed to give tho Grand Army of the Republic trouble. They charge that the or ganization is composed entirely of Northern white men, many of whom have been since the war awarded place, power and profit, by the votes of the negroes. Yet, say the ne gro ex-soldiers, these same men will not allow negroes any of the lienefits of the Grand Army of the Republic. Just so: und the negro ex-soldiers will find no change dowu to the end of the chapter. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JULY 15, 18S7. The Tybee Crime The coroner's jury were not long in reach- | ing a decision ns to who murdered George Smith at Tybee. The evidence against Thomas Cassidy, while circumstantial, was convincing It is doubtful if a single one of the jurors when he signed the finding had tte vaguest sort of doubt that the man who had lieen arrested as the murderer commit ted the horrible deed. The suspected man’s character, as well as the evidence, was against him. His record and his associa tions were known to be ted, and Jouiglcss they helped the jury to the decision which they reached. it is to be regretted that the officers who arrested Cassidy and Maggie Ferrell on their arrival from Tvbee did not serrate them as soon ns the teat reached the wharf. When Cassidy left the island he did not know, ofc course, that the sea hail given up the dead, and he was not aware that the body of the murdered man had been found until he was taken into custody in this city. Assuming that he is guilty may he not have relied upon the sea to hide his crime, and have kept about his person until arrested, articles taken from the body of his victim? When he realized his peri! may he not have trans ferred these articles to Maggie Ferrell, who was permitted to ride in the carriage with him. He was searched, but was the woman carefully searched? Of course officers of the law cannot always think of the proper thing to do on the spur of the moment. Like other people, they see what ought to have been done when it is too late to do it. It is not known, of course, that Cassidy, when he reached the city, had any articles on his person which would have criminated him, but there is ground for suspecting that he had. The woman ought certainly to have been kept away from liim from the moment of his arrest. There is another thing that is rather mys terious. It is the finding of a cuff or collar button on the ground where the struggle took place, which is like u button that Cas sidy was known to have had. And yet Cassidy’s clothing showed no missing button when it was examined. Did he discover his loss and in some mysterious way supply it? How else can the button found at Tybee te accounted for ! Tho murdered man’s cloth ing was of a kind that required no buttons like the one that was found. The Judge of the Superior Court and the Solicitor General show great earnestness in bringing those guilty of crimes of violence to justice. The Solicitor General can be de pended upon to do all that it is possible to do to discover and punish the murderer of George Smith. The New York World tells of a girl, 17 years old, named Hannah Sykes, living at Dover, N. H., who has had a peculiar farcer. She has repeatedly figured in the police courts. When the Salvation Army went to her town she at once joined it and was one of the' loudest shouters. A few days ago she was arrested for stealing a dress, and on her way to prison jumped off abridge to esra]>e. When her cnsecaine up for trial, Thomas F. Gray, of New York, appeared in court and asked permis sion to marry her. Hannah did not know Gray, nor did anyone else in Dover, and the Judge said that no matrimonial business could be transacted until the girl’s fine was paid. Gray' paid it, and married her half an hour afterwards. Ho said he married her because he wanted a lively wife. He will doubtless be pleased, for liveliness is what’s the matter with Hannah. A woman's convention at Lake Bluff, 111., has decided t hat “Madame President" is the proper title to be applied to a woman who presides over an organization, and not “Miss" or “Mrs. President.” The reasons given are, first, because there is no nets! of designating a presiding officer by a word which denotes her home relntionshijis—-she is an individual first of all, and not first of all to te classified by her relation to some man; and, second, because the word “Mad ame" is far more euphonious and dignified than tho hissing sound of “Miss” or “Mrs.” Tlie world will rejoice that this momentous question has beeu satisfactorily settled. Says the Boston Globe: “A recent dis patch from Naples says that a priest of Oau icatti, a town of Sicily, recently raisod the devil in his pulpit, arrayed in his immemo rial full dross of tail, horns, and hoofs. It is generally understood that it is the busi ness of n priest to put the devil down, not to raise him. The Canicatti priest's devil had attached to his tail firecrackers, which ex ploded from time to time with great noise. It must have been a Chinese devil, and therefore should have been made to “go" without delay or encouragement to return. The Galveston Sews is authority for the statement tliat in 1880 there were only about .">OO miles of railway in Mexico, while by the close of the present year there will te over 3,000, with a capital of about $120.- 000,000 invested. Of the total mileage 2,700 miles are owned and operated by Americans. An idea of the value of rail way construction to Mexico may be obtained when it is stated that the revenues of the country have increased from $17,800,- 000 in 1871) to $33,000,000 in 1880. Dr. McGlynn declared last Sunday in his speech on tho subject of his excommunica tion, that he wus preaching “the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.” It was in the same speech that Dr. McGlynn angrily alluded to one of his former clericul brethren ns a buffoon, n blackguard and n scoundrel. The ex-priest’s ideas ou the “brotherhood of man” are evidently some what confused. The rage for bangles amoug the ladies t.f Now York is unabated. The World tells of a lady whose buttons were $5 gold pieces engraved with monograms. She wore a bangle on each wrist, and by actual count she had $125 on her person in the shape of buttons or charms. Of course the fashion causes a waste of money, but, then, so does many another fashion. Virginia eomes to the fore with rather a curious case. In Prince George county a man named Holmes It. Puryea is under sen tence to te hanged on July 13. A contest over the office of Sheriff leaves the county without an officer who can legally execute tte sentence. In consequence it is likely that Puryea will get a respite he did not ex pect. The statement is mado that tho German ! postal department admits sample pec It .ages of liquids at, reduced rates, brand from tills country, tinder an order that went into ef fect July 1. If whisky is included, Ger many must have determined to foster the jug trade by mail instead of by express, ns 1 is done in this country. A memterof the General Assembly boasts that he has never introduced a bill or made a speech. He ought to be induced to ex hibit himself at tho fall fails. CURRENT COMMENT. Blaine's Evidences of “Financial Abil ity." From the .Vigour, Republican (Dem .) Another tattoo or so on "Blaine >*f Maine*’ does not make him less available as a Presiden tial eandidate. He will te the stronger with his party workers for these evidences of "financial ability.’’ It Certainly Should Not. From the Sere York World I Dem.) It is strange that the public is not clamoring for a fund for the poor negro —ailor cook. Hole inson, who gallantly saved eleven lives last Sun day when tin* Mystery capsized in Jamaica Bay Certainly the color of a hero should lie uo bar to public recognition. Those Poor Little Cockle Shelia. /Vnm the Philadelphia Record iDem.) The poor little cockle shells which the Navy Dcp ti'tiuent has sent to Honolulu in token of the disposition of the United Mateo to protect the interests of its citizens in that quarter of the world are not calculated in themselves to in spire either resjieet or alarm. They are im pressive only from the weight, resources and lighting qualities of their owners. Back of a tiger cat's whiskers arc his teeth and claws. Senator Sherman’s Chances. From the Sere York Star (Dem.) It is evident that Senator Sherman is not to te allowed to control the delegation from his own State to the Republican National Convention without a severe struggle. Indeed there are some indications that he may te teaten in tht* Ohio convention. At a recent meeting of the Repub Mean Executive Committee of Hamilton comity a Sherman resolution was withheld because of the evident uncertainty of its passage. There are a great many shrewd observers in the Re publican party who think an animated contest between Blaine and Sherman will result in the nomination of some third person, as was the case when Garfield won.

Brave Little Mrs. Humphries. From the New York Sun. Southampton, L. 1., July 12.—Mr?. Edward Humphries, of Bergen Point, N. J, a great granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin, ana the daughter-in-law of Mr. Solon Humphries, of New York city, is spending the summer with her husband in their cottage here. Yesterday afternoon she drove, tyer dog cart to the west side of Southampton Pond To make a few visits. On her way home she saw three children of Mr. Isham bathing in the pond. The eldest, a girl of 18, and nearly as large as Mrs. Humphries, who is very petite, got beyond her depth There was no one near to help her, and site sank twice, and would certainly have been drowned had not Mrs. Humphries dropped the reins on the dashboard, jumped from the cart. and. clad just as she was, with hat and gloves on, rushed into the pond. Before she reached the drowning girl she was obliged to swim. She did reach her, however, and, after a terrible struggle, she brought her ashore, partly by swimming and partly by walk ing up the inclined bottom with her head tinder water. All this time the girl was clinging about her and impeding her movements. After the girl was safely landed her brave little rescuer nearly fainted. The affair has created a great sensation, and the plucky and pretty lady is re ceiving congratulations on all hands. Gov. Curtin's Story. From the New York Sun. Harrisburg, July 12.—Ex-Gov. Curtin passed east through this city last night. In conversa tion about the alleged charge made by Jefferson Duvis that, he had pardoned a desperado out of the Eastern penitentiary for the purpose of having him assassinate the Confederate chief tain for a reward of SIOO,OOO, he said: J have no idea how such a story could have originated, but believe it was founded on an ex traordinary incident that occurred in IHH2, dur ing my first term as Governor of Pennsvvama. At that time a notorious forger named Kenyon Cross was serving a long term in the Eastern penitentiary, in Philadelphia. One day I received a letter written on the official 1 aper of the Secretary of War's oiiice, enclosed and sealed in an offi rial envelope, and signed with the name of Sec retary Stanton. The document was, in sub stance, that Kenyon Cross was in a position to get through the rebel linos and obtain very im portant and most desirable information at rebel headquarters in case he was pardoned. The latter recommended and urged the pardon. The document bore every evidence that it was genuine, and no suspicion attached to it what ever. "I at once made out the necessary papers giv ing Cross his freedom, and placed them, to gether with the letter from the War Office, in the hands of the United States Marshal. Cross was taken to Washington, where it was found that the letter signed by Secretary Stanton was a forgery. Cross was put back in his cell in the State prison and served his term. Who wrote th* letters or how the official paperand envelop* were obtained could not be found out, and the incident is shrouded in as much mystery to-day as it was in 1%2.” Mixed Up the Card 9. From the Buffalo Courier A leading family has been made most uncom fortable during the past few days. One morn ing early in the week the lady of the house, to her great amazement, for she had issued no in vitations, began to receive regrets and ac ceptances to a luncheon. About 1 o'clock ladies began to arrive in their coaches, the procession not ending until 8 o'clock, when quite a party drove up and deposited their cards. On sifting the matter the mistress of tin* house discovered that she bod beeu mode the victim of a practical joke. Some silly fool had issued cards on which were written her name, with ‘Luncheon from 1 to a,” and the date below in the corner. This cir cumstance would have been sufficiently annoy ing had not another greater trial caused her to regard this one as a very slight affair. A meml>er of her family had been married not long before, and the wedding was followed bv the usual formalities in the way of announcement cards. Two or t hree days after these cards had been issued an acquaint ance on meeting one of the household said: “Miss —. is your father a trustee of the Lock port High School?" "No; why do you ask?" "Because." was the reply, "I received an invita tion to the commencement exercises of the school, with your sisfer's after-card inclosed in it." Greatly puzzled, the young lady r-turned home to find tnat another or the family had lieen asked the same question, and more followed. An investigation ensued, and it appeared that the stationer who had received the order, and to whom had been delegated the responsibility of addressing the envelopes, had entrusted the work to n careless clerk, who had committed the unpardonable blunder of mixing the two sets of cards. It is not easy to say which is the worst offense, that of playing a ridiculously common place joke or of blundering with so important a matter as w edding announcement curds. The latter is an error which can be explained to friends in town, but scarcely to those Living at a distance. Stebbins’ Fate. From the Detroit Free Press. The recent case of Mr. John W. Stebbins, of Wyoming, will do much to oieu the eyes of the users of tue vile weed in its vilest form It will pain inauy good people to know that the ciga rette has insinuated itself into the rural sim plicity of Wyoming. Hitherto the inhabitants of that Territory have been a guileless pastoral people, who occasionally indulged in sculping, cattle raids and had whisky, enlivened by a inur der now and then, but never had their worst enemy charged them with smoking cigarettes. Now, alas! all this is changed, it is no uncommon sight to see a gang of cow-boys peaceably re turning to catup, after sacking a village, each with a cigarette in his mouth. True, some of the most noble of the cowboys stood out against tlie growth of this habit and shot a few of the smokers; hut. although ibis method of argu ment seemed to be conclusive in individual cas**s. yet matters of policy prevented its uni versal adoption. So, in spite of the best inten tions on the part of the opponents of the vice, it continued to spread among the unsophisti cated jieoplo of the plains. Stebbins fell an easy victim to the cigarette, and smoked inces santly. The effect of the habit on him was not noticed until one day be fired at a tenderfoot from the Host three times In succession and missed him every time. This alarmed his friends, and they In-sought him with Lears in their eyes to abandon a habit that was doing so much to undermine his usefulness and influ ence on the plains. Stebbins himself felt rather shaken and con suited a physician, who told him that if be did not give up cigarette smoking he would not live six months. HtebMns agreed to quit next week. This is a peculiarity or the cirurette smokers. They are always going to quit some time in the future. That night there was n social card party in the shanty. StebMns sat on the pow aer keg. He let a cigarette stump fall on tin* k**g. The party instantly broke up. Stebbins and part of the keg were last seen going through the roof. As neither have yet come down serious fears are beginning to be enter tained on that ranch that .something has bar petted to Stebbins. Thus it is that the doctor s most sanguine expectations have Is en realized and the name of John Warrington Stebbins has been added to the already long list of the vic tims of the deadly cigarette. The flower known as the Itfichelor’a button must Is* the one that does not stay on long.— New Orleans Picayune. For cramps and codes. The original Brown's Ginger Frederick Brown.

Commencement day at Chautauqua is Aug. 17, when about 5.000 diplomas will be awarded* About 1,000 of the class will be present in per son. A boy at Skin Diego. Cal., is so electric that by rubbing his hands over a box or book and then waving his hand lio can Lft the object from the table. A Mechaxicsburo (Pa.) boy of 11 shot a wooden box inches square off the top of his brother’s head at a distance of twenty-five feet, using a Flobert air rifle. A journeyman shoemaker in Bingen (on the Rhino has invented a water velocipede, with which he has made successful trial trips, and which promises to lead to a regular aquatic sj>ort. After six months of trial, the library and reading rooms at Bradford, in England, are to be opened to the public permanently on Sun days. The average number of Sunday visitors has exceeded tiOO. Fifteen ostriches have just been hatched from a nest of seventeen fertile eggs at Mount Fairview ostrich farm, near San Diego. This is the l**st record ever made in America. There are eighty birds at the farm now. Stephenville, Tex., has a rival of Fannie Mills, the big-footed girl of Ohio, in the person of Maud Callsber. She has to have her shoes made on a special last, and they are said to be fully No. l'J’s. She cannot walk. The co-operative colony at Port Angeles. W. TANARUS., is reported by the Seattle Times to be in a prosperous condition. About 250 colonists aiv* reported to be there at present, and all appear to be contented. Port Angeles is on Fuea straits, in the extreme Northwest of Washington Terri tory. A young man in Delta, Col., was unmercifully cowhided a few days ago for merely asking one of the ranchmen if he could spark his daughter. The old man said that if the young man had asked him to court or sit up with her it would have been all right, but that the word "spark’* made him kinder mad. An old negro at Weldon, N. C\, at a recent lec ture, said: "When I see a man going home with a gallon of whisky and half a pound of meat, dat's temperance lecture enough for me. and l sees it every day. I know that eberything in'y bis home is on the same scale—gallon of misery to every half pound of comfort. 1 A weld-driller on Uie farm of Henry Wat son, near Alfred Centre, N. Y., at the depth of seventy feet, struck a spring of wonderful force. The water overflowed the garden, yard and fields, and the stream is wearing a large outlet from the earth, with no diminution or volume. It seems to be similar to the famous Belle Plains well in lowa. A woman in Chico, Cal., awakened by the jarring of an earthquake recently, thought the noise was made by a burglar, and, seizing ber revolver, she rushed to an open window, from which she fired a volley in the direction of the supposed robber. The shaking ceased, and she. again retired, and was considerably surprised to hear a few hours later that she had been shoot ing at an earthquake. An industrial school for boys is proposed at Chicago by Mrs. Celia W. Wallace, a rich woman. She wants an incorporation, with a capital of $500,000, and a large public support. The idea is to havH the institution both a home and a school, and. besides the dormitories and workshop there will be a military drill room and a sehoolhouse, where the rudiments of\an education can be acquired while the boy is learning a trade. A singular accident occurred to George Smith, of East Orange, N. J., on Tuesday. He was about to go into a hay mow to throw down some hay. He threw the pitchfork up, intend-* ing it should land in the mow. The fork fell short, and catching at one end turned completely over ns it fell. One of the prongs entered Smith's left eye, entirely destroying the sight. It penetrated past the eye to the brain, so that the man instantly became insane and has re mained so. An Albany, N. Y., physician has made a singu lar discovery. He says he has noticed a failing in muscular power of many business men, and on inquiry found that they had been using type writers or stenographers instead of writing their own letters. This, strange as it may appear, lias deprived, the physician says, business uien of a little very desirable muscular exercise of the right arm. and has to some extent affected their general health. The observation of the physi cian seems to have been extraordinarily acute. A fancy price for a portrait was paid in England recently, when was given for Boucher’s picture of Mme. de Pompadour, from the late Lord Lonsdale's collection. This is almost the highest sum ever realized by a por trait at auction. The famous French beauty is represented full length, reclining in her boudoir, with a book in her hand, her net spaniel at her feet, and a clock, curtain, ana writing-table in the background. She wears a blue silk dress, with pink ribbons and garlands of roses. The picture was painted in 1755. and was among t lie old mavSters shown at Burlington House, Lon don, in 1870. Joseph Garrison, of Idaho, who has just been notified from Washington that his pension was allowed, claimed back j>ension from 1&18. By temporarily w aiving a heavier claim for entire disability resulting from a wound on the head, inflicted by a boulder throw’ll from the roof of a house at the storming of the City of Mexico, he has been allowed sl2 a month, with A per cent, interest per annum, since IH4K period of thirty nine years. Having served in the war between the States as a lieutenant in the Second Califor nia Cavalry, he expects to get an additional sum. The allowance to him so far will secure him over SIO,OOO, and when his other claims for increased pension are adjudicated, he expects to receive $15,000 to $20,000 more. "Emperor William's illness was not a cold,” says London Truth . "aswas officially announc ed, but, like most of his other attacks of late years, was due to his excessive and untimely consumption of some of the most unwholesome dishes in the whole range of German or Russian cuisine. The physicians have informed Prince Bismarck that a repetition of these imprudences will assuredly prove fatal. It is an odd thing that the Duke of Queensbury (old Q.) died at the age of 88from the effects of a surfeit of nec tarines and peaches. He persisted in devour ing tlie fruit in defiance of the efforts of his pri vate physicians, who wore stimulated to un wonted zeal, us he remunerated them on the Chinese system of paying so much a week as long os they kept him alive." The unspeakable Turk has hfs owm way to run a newspaper, described by an American writing from Sivas, capital of the Turkish Vil oyet in Asia Minor. Sivas has a population of 40,000, but only one newspaper, and that is owned by the local government. It is a badly printed sheet about 12x15 inches in size; has no telegraphic news, and no local, except of the official kind ; has no reporters, and does not ask for subscribers. But it has subscribers, ail the same. The publishers simply send the paper to every ix*rson in the government employ, and deduct the subscription price from his salary. He can read the puper or let it alone, as suits him. Th* editor has a sinecure. His duties consist of seeing that the official notes are prim dns they are handed in. Sivas is the centre of a region rich in important minerals, and the city has a lively trade, but the editor doe* not bother his head about the development of the one or the increase of the other. “Whoever hears," the Toronto Globe says, “of an American social favorite of tho other sex, except, perhaps, the late United States minister Mr. Lowell, or delightful I)r.
