It is estimated that the cotton crop this year will lx> 7,500.000 bales, which means that cotton is still king. Every tenement house in Boston is vis ited oneo a week by a health ofliccr. Other cities might profit by the plan. Phil Oanz, of Lyons, N. Y., will realize SB,OOO when he sells his peppermint crop. The julep is in high favor in his neighbor hood. The strike of 5,000 carpenters in Chicago adds another to that city’s long list of troubles. It would bo well for Chicago to rub out and begin anew. A man named Brigham, living at Na varro, Tex., stands in a doorway, and his two feet, placed heel to toe, till it from sill to sill.

At a labor mass mooting recently the May< >r of Minneapolis, Minn., said: “I have always favored all strikes.” The best thing Minneapolis can do is to ri-1 itself of its Mayor, utid get ono with a little more lense. _____ In a northern city, tho other day, ono of tho principals in a prize fight was maimed for life and the other was seriously injured. Tho prize fight is a kind of sport too brutal for a civilized country. It ought! to bo sup pressed. A Western genius claims to have suc ceeded in producing a fair article of illum inating gas from potato bugs. There is room for him in Georgia if ho wishes to sstalilish works for tho manufacture of his article. __ A Connecticut man has invented tho verb ••to tourizo.” He is doubtless kin to the man who invented tho verb “to funeral ize.” Tho perpetrators of such crimes against the language ought to receive no encouragement. In Cincinnati lor the week ending July 83 there wore 887 deaths. For the same week in 184 W the number was 111. Such an ap palling immt)er of dentils is ample evidence nf the terrible execution done by the sun luring tho heated term. Jacob Allen, of Frankfort, Ky., who is forty years old, says that he lias never drank a drop of anythin# but whisky since he war. Sixteen.

A few ilays ago in Cincinnati, u woman was asked in court why she had thonged her religion.

She ovi iontly was under tho impression that the Itilercnt kinds of religion separate people in oeuven us effectually us they sometimes sep arate them in this world. Two “Bloody Shirt” Politicians. Johu Sherman and Gov. Eoraker ought to be happy. Sherman ((> reived the kind of an indorM inert from the Republican State Convention of Ohio yesterday that ho had been seeking fo months, and Foru ker was renominated for Governor. They aro lxith “bloody shirt” politicians of the most pronounced type, but, strange ns it may seem, they are not warm and loving friends. Sherman wants his party to nominate hint for President, and Foraker favors Illaine's nomination, because he wants tho nomination for second place on the national ticket. The platform is a curious medley of prin eiples, assertions and declarations. It is apparently bavl upon Fnraker’s recent arti cle in the Forum, in which he undertakes to give reasons why the Republican party should lx* restored to power in the adminis tration of national affairs. One of its pur poses is to catch votes, and another is to de fine the issues- for tho national contest next year. Its insincerity is so evident that thinking people will regard it as furnishing a very good reason why tho Republican party should not bo restored to the control of the government. Of course it contains an attack upon the South. It would tie impossible for Ohio RcpuhJji<j|M | )ict9 frame a platform that didn’t contain of that kind. They pre teiulijj). .heKove that the Republican vote in thpjßnutb is suppressed, and they howl for n friv ballot and a fair count. They present no facts, of course, that the ballot is not as free and the count ns fair at the as i,t, is at the North. They rely wholly upon assert ions. They claim that every Hack man is a Republican, and if he doesn't come forward and vote the Repub lican ticket, they boldly assert that he is in timidated, bulldozed, and is prevented from doing so. Was there ever anything so reck loss in the way of assertion in the polities of the country before? If this assertion were supported by a reasonable number of black voters there would be a little excuse for it. In the absence of any such support, and, in fact, of any support, it is rather remarkable that the Republicans have the hardihood to continue to make it. John Sherman in his Springfield speech boldly claimed that the South was solidly Democratic because the Republican vote was suppressed, and Gov. Foraker, in his Forum article, claims the same thing. Foraker attempts a little more than Sher man did, because ho undertakes to liolster up tho claim. And how? Why, by point ing out that at the last Congressional elec tion in Georgia only 2S,of>o votes were east out of about 300,000. lie wants to know why tho vote was not larger, and concludes that it was not because it was suppressed. Does Foraker think the readers of the Forum lack common sense? Did tho votes cast represent one-sixth of the Democratic votes? Of course not. If any votes were suppressed then it is apparent that a very largo per centage of them was Democratic. Asa matter of fact, however, no votes were suppressed. White and black verters, Democrats and Republi cans, cast their ballots without let or hin drance, apd all ballots cast were counted. The smallness ot the voto wf-s du n to the absence of opposition in all but three of the districts, and in those three the interest was not sufficient to bring out a largo vote. The Republicans didn't vote throughout the State, because they had no candidates, and the Democrats generally remained away from tho polls, because they folt that their candidates were safe. All of theso facts, however, Fornk -r carefully suppresses. For a man who indulges in a tirade against alleged suppression of the ballot he shows himself to lie a conscienceless suppressor of facts. However, there is some satisfaction in knowing that though he may succeed in obscuring the truth for awhile, the people are certain to get hold of it even tually. Demagogues may have a transient, but not a permanent, success. Dr. Westmoreland's Report. The testimony is accumulating that tho convicts in some of the camps nro inhu manly treated. The report of Dr. West more land, the penitentiary physician, re specting the condition of the convicts ntthe Bondurimt & Jopling camp is calculated to create something of a sensation throughout the State. It is not the purpose of the State that convicts shall bo overworked, nor that thdy shall lie furnished insufficient food, and it is an outrage of tho worst sort for tho lessees to inflict heavier punishment upon them than are imposed by tho courts. Ttio Legislature having begun this in quiry into the management df tho convict camps and tho treatment of tho convicts, should make it very thorough. There ought to l>e no favor shown to tho lessees. Rome of them doubtless are men of influ ence mid Mill try to kiep damaging disclos ures from being made, but the legislature will not do its duty unless it gets at tho whole truth respecting tho abuses alleged to lie practiced in the comps. Lot some of tho convicts be called ns wit nesses—tho most fearless among them—and lot them be examined without permitting them to hear each other’s stories. If their statements, in tho main, agree there will be some reason for believing thorn. We do not lieliovo in dealing with the lessors unjustly, hut we do believe in making them live up to their contracts. Tho men and women who wear prison stripes are human beings, ami should be treated as such. The greed of tho lessees should not be permitted to bring the good name of Georgia into disrepute with Chrirtian peo ple every whore, or to cause a Georgian to hear with shame the convict system of his State discussed. There is a way to secure humane treatment for the convicts. Let it Ixj taken without hesitation whenever it is necessary to do so. The Host on Globe says: “AH the South ern Governors will bent Atlanta to meet the President, and the prediction is safe that the Governor of North Carolina will not have a chance to repeat his chestnut to the Governor of South Carolina.” The f,/of il ls right, and tho two Governors will lie nil the better tiff for not being able to come in closo contact with the cup that inebriates. An exchange sai*: “In Savannah ewmo of her citiams are tullting of getting up an excursion to the North pole.” Tliit it a mis take. Asa rule Savannah is dclightfidly cool. When tho weather is warm, however, at it was recently, tho people of Savannah run down to Tybeo, which the now railroad now makes only fifty minutes distant. Barclay Peak, the New Jersey man who in under sentence of death for the murder of Katie Anderson, says that if he is hanged he is sure of salvation. For tlie sake of his soul, then, there ought to bo no delay. Ho, and all other murderers who are “sure of salvation,” should be given speedy opportu nity to enjoy it. THE MORN I? Mr. Barnum and Cabinet Changes. It looks as if Mr. Bajriutn, Chairman of the National Democratic Committee, had been trying to make a change or two in the Cabinet without being requested to do so by Mr. Cleveland. The London correspondent of the World cabled a conversation to that paper a day or two ago, which he had with Gen. Patrick A. Collins, of Boston, who is at present in I/uidon. According to this conversation, Mr. Barnum asked Gen. Col lins, just before the latter left Boston, whether he would accept the office of Secre tary of War if it were offered to him, and Mr. Collins replied as follows; “Mr. Bar nuni, what led you to suppose that I hud an appetite for second-hand food, or would wear second-hand clothes ?’ A World representative called on Mr. Barnum at his Connecticut home on last Tuesday and asked him whether he had sug gested to Gen. Collins the possibility of an offer to him of the War Offlco. Mr. Bar num declined to be interviewed or to make any statement. The President’s private secretary was asked about tbe matter, and he said that if Mr. Barnum had offered the War Oiliee to anyone he had done so with out any authority from the President. He also said that the President did not contem plate making any change in that office. Avery close friend of the President is re ported to have said that Mr. Barnum has a habit of distributing patronage in his own mind and upon his own responsibility. If Mr. Barnum is afflicted in that way he ought to seek a remedy for his affection nt once. Ha is in danger of getting himself into trouble and of getting other people into annoying situations. He is no doubt a well-meaning man, and the President would doubtless like to gratify him to the extent of letting him believe that he is very influential with the administration, but if he lacks discretion and judgment the Presi dent will have to perform the disagreeable duty of showing him how little his influence really is. The Boston people, however, doubtless feel grateful to Mr. Barnum for bringing out the fact that Gen. Collins’ ap petite is not the kind which relishes second hand victuals and that the General scorns second-hand clothes. Relative to the failure to invite negro sol diers to the International Military Encamp ment at Chicago, Gen. C. J. Bentley, the General Manager, says: “Because it is de sirable that perfect harmony should pre vail, and that would not be the ease if col ored companies were allowed to participate, I made the order entirely on iny own judg ment, and adhere to it because I did not, and do not now, think it wise to bring un congenial elements together. The occur rences nt the military encampment last May show that the admission of colored or ganisations would cause bad fooling.” Gen. Bentley is a bravo man, but if 110 isn’t careful, Fairchild and Tuttle, and others of that ilk, will have his scalp—that is, of course, if Gen. Bentley happens to be a Democrat. If ho is a Republican, they will let him off. Perhaps the most peculiar accident that rover occurred took place on a farm near Louisville, Kv., a few days ago. A Mr. Simpson bought some dynamite to use in blowing up stumps in his yard. He had u lot of hogs roaming aliout the place. Near the noon hour the members of his family, who were at dinner, were startled by a very loud report, and, hurrying to the window to ascertain the cause, saw a cloud of dust arise from the ground. An investigation showed that two hogs and a horse hail lieen blown to atoms. It seems that one of the hogs swallowed a dynamite cartridge. A, farm hand saw the horn l ki-dc the hog, and the next instant the explosion followed. No trace of the hog was left, and a hole several feet dorp was made in the ground. The ex plosion was heard several miles away. In the lieighliorhooil of Austin, Tex., n drought has prevailed for many woeks, and the people are praying for rain. Sunday’s issue of the Austin Statesman contained the following: "Let to-day in all the churches bo set aside as a day of prayer for rain. Tho drought in this section is now something terrible, and, unless relief inager crous flood of rain soon conics, there will boa failure of all growing crops, a id destitution through all our neighboring counties. Let petitions earnest anti constant to-day go up to heaven for a baptism of life-giving rain.” The sufferers in Texas have the sympathy of the more favored paoplo of other States. The New York World is responsible for the following: “Gilbert Ball is a prominent negro politician of Philadelphia. He re cently entered o restaurant at Atlantic City, kept by a man much blacker than ho. Ball ordered n sirloin steak. ‘You can't got it hero,’said the dusky proprietor,‘we serve only white people.’ Hall left the place in a rage, sought a lawyer and will bring suit against the proprietor.” The Press has a lively correspondent nt Atlantic City, but ns yet this ease of drawing the color line has not received the Press’ atten tion. Insincerity seems to bo tho Prvaa' trump card. Some time ago Fred Kayser, of McKees port, Pa., sent tho Emperor of Ge rmany a box of lino cigars. The other day lie re ceived a letter of thanks from Prince Bis marck anil also a small music box. The tune tho box does not play is Gen. Bou langer’s march. Yung Wing, n Chinaman who lives in Hartford, Conn., is again contemplating matrimony. Ho lias been a widower several years. His wife was an American lady. Yung Wing would doubtless like an heiress litis time in order to match Yan l’iion Loo, his countryman. John O’Day, First Vico President and General Manager of the St. Louis und San Francisco railroad, was divorced from his wife the other day, all the proceedings occupying just thirty minutes. He evi dently believed in doing everything at rail road speed. In a broach of promise suit in Ohio tho fair plaintiff showed 745 letters which she had received during 120 days of love. If all lovers correspond as frequently with each other it is easy to understand why the Post Oflice Department is so nearly self sus taining. __ A traveling “doctor,” who is selling nos trums to the iteople of Indiana, has his hills read thus: “If not hung by a mob I -hall reach this place about ." The |xs>ple of Indiana would doubtless lie liettor off if the “doctor" should be hung without delay. A pious Baptist lady iu Ulchmoud, Va., htis rented hot* line lienie ami moved into cheaper quarters, so that she may bo able to give $l,OOO a year more to charity than she otherwise could have done. “Pious” is not out of place when uoulied to her. G NEWS: FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1881. CURRENT COMMENT. Prof. Tyndall in Politics. From the Few York Tribune (Rep.) Prof. Tymlall takes very little philosophy with him when lit* makes an excursion into English politico. He loses his temper, is abusive and iu :*uJt ing in referen t* to public men and brings the scientific world into disrepute as deficient in manners and good taste. No Accounting For a Republican’s Mouth. From the Missouri Republican (Deni.) The Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio served with distinction in the Union army. It is safe to say. however, that John Sherman, who never smelled of war until pe.ore was pro claimed, will lx* denouncing the Ohio Democrats as traitors and rebels one of these days. There is no accounting for u Republican's mouth. The Ohio Republican Convention’s Pledge. From the New York lleraUl (Tnd.) Its pledge to the Sherman boom will some what resemble the solemn promise of the bride to love, honor and obey the gentleman who has had the reckless audacity to ask for her hand. She swears to ol#*v, but'with a very emphatic mental reservation which in the ordinary North American vernacular may be translated, “I*ll be hanged if I will, though.” Pressure of a Woman’s Hand. From the New York World, (Dcm.) It is said of Gen. Paine'* new cup-defender, the Volunteer, that “so delicately jwised is the beautiful sloop that a pressure no greater than that of a woman's hand is enough to compel her to yield to its influence.” There are compari sons that do not compare. Tb‘* pressure of a woman's hand is one of the most potential forces in nature. It has turned the rudder of this old world's progress more than once in its history. BRIGHT BITS.

How tl2o Women Flocli Around to Euy Goods of Him in Dallas. from the San fyancisco Examiner. “The reformed bandit Frank James, late of Missouri, is the latest and attraction it Dallas.” This was remarked to an Examiner reporter yesterday by Thomas Witherspoon, a broad-shouldered Texan, at the Russ. “Frank is the mildest-mannered man you ever saw. You would think Lie was a preaolier to look at him and listen to the soft cadences of his voice. Rut you just ought to see how the women flock about him to buy dry goods. It beats the world. It*s Mr. James this and Mr. James that—a per fect love of a man some of them call him. I don't mean that all the women visit him at the store and dote upon him, hut a big per cent, of them do the morbidly curious ana mentality off. Frank James docs not look like a shooter, nor a bad man. He is of medium size only, very quiet, and his black hair is lately beginning to be well tinged with gray, as his moustache. He lives in an unassuming way in Dallas, with bis wife and two smalt boys. The boys are not over 12 or H years old. The family seems a very harpy one The store be works in is owned by Worthington, Jones & Cos. Those ]*eople got him away from the St Louis shoe store by offering a bigger stipend. It is understood in Dallas that he gets t-k*) a month. He ought to have more, for in the past four months he has just about doubled the firm's business. It was a lucky stroke, their getting him. Frank James is reported to be poor. People thought for a long time he hod a big lot of wealth that he had made in train and hank robberies and hold-ups of one sort and another, that was buried, or at least stored away somewhere, but if so it has been kept secret. Nobody knows where it is. Sometimes they have thought maybe Frank James had glided incognito to various towns like St. Paid, Omaha. Sin Francisco, or other towns West and South, and bought property in the names of his wife or sons. Dallas people keen wondering all the time what has become of tne swag. Of courge there is a percentage of them, though, who say they don't believe he has any money—that ho was more sinned against than sinning. BORING A SQUARE HOLE. A Machine Which Will Do This to Be Manufactured at Detroit. from the Detroit yews. Among the many manufacturing enterprises seeking a permanent location in Detroit is that which will engage in the making ol square hole boring machines. An lowa genius devoted fourteen of the host years of his life to solve the problem of boring a square hoi#*, and finally succeeded. His patents were disposed of toJ. F. Curt ice, of Fort Wayne. Ind. A company was organized at Wooster, 0.. and the last two y ears have been devoir l t<> perfecting the ma chine, which was at first cumbersome and some what complicated. It is now simple and ad mirably adapted to the purpose for which it is intended. In the words of an admiring me chanic. that old problem of squaring tl has finally been solved. The machine is on exhibition in the basement of No. 00 Griswold street, and attracts a great deal of attention. Carpenters, builders, contractors r.nd capitalists are all in to see it work, and all pronounce it an invention that will meet with universal demand. It is simply an oscillating head with chisel edges and pro jecting lips, which cut out the corners in ad vance of the chisel. The balance of the ma chine is an almost exact counterpart of the old-styled boring machine. Mr. Curtice’s pur pose is to interest Detroit capital and establish an immense factory’ here, which would he the base of supplies for the United States and Can ada. Its sale is assured upon its merits, and as it cuts gains and tenets as well as mortices, the demand is greater than can be met. It will cut a two by four mortice in from four to five minutes, and doing it with perfect accuracy, that a carpenter cannot possibly* complete iu less than half an hour. Everything points to the moving of the factory to Detroit and a very large increase of its capacity. The Cowboy. He came from the land of the setting sun, This blazing star of the first degree; A cowboy* bold, all ripe for fun. The home of the tenderfoot to see. His eyes were black and his hair was long; The rim of his hat was soft and wide; And his gorgeous pants were of buckskin strong; With wonderful fringes down the side. His mustang was kinky as ever y*ou saw; To the martial jingling of lus spurs The small boy* listened with breathless awe; He was a terror to city curs. A pistol was thrust through his leathern belt, And a knife reposed iu his horseman’s boot, Every inch a King be doubtless felt; A Western hero, right on the shoot: He ogled the ladies day by* day As lie gracefully* ambled to take the air? Oh. he was a daisy, this cowbov gay*; One of the brave* who deserve the fair. What sensitive maids, in his mind, were seen Hopelessly pining for him in vain, What scalps of swains, with jealousy green, Adorned this conquering lord of the plain. He welcomed the tanglefoot, hot and strong; And terrible oaths this creature swore I For n deadly conflict he seemed to long, His thirst was excessive for human gore. Till he stirred up a gentleman, mild and slim, Who wielded daily a bloodless pen, But ‘the sand” was there, all the same, in him; And ho went for the braggart right there and then. He reached for that cowboy’s ringlets long. And pulled him down from his wild mustang; He wined the street with the buckskins strong* While the spurs resounded with merry clang— And he left him a wreck, did this man of might With the broadcloth suit and a lmt of silk; And the small boy scoffed at the buckless wight As he limped to the lockup weak as milk. No more with the cattle the cowboy dwells; His pistol and knife in the pawn shop rest; The mustang atipeurt vile pro;*#;; He will gallop no more in the far Southwest. And his master has studied his lesson well. Let roughs and rowdies of this take note, ’Tis the swaggering cowards who boast and swell. And the man may be bravo in a broadcloth coat. John S. Adams. A Remarkable Idiot. A dispatch from IVovidence, R. 1., to the New York World says: One of the most remarkable instances of idiocy, or lunacy, to be witnessed in any part of the world may be seen in an old farmhouse in the town of Smithfield, about seven miles from this city. Almou Smith, nearly 40 years of age, is fastened with strap and man acle in a small room, and usually naked, and has been kept in this situation for many* years. This may seem incredible, but it is nevertheless a fact, and, what may seem equally* incredible, is that nothing better can 1m done with the man. He liar, been an Idiot from birth, or at least from infancy. He has no intelligence whatever, not even tout of the lowest stage of the brute cren tion. and does not even know Ins mother, who, from babyhood up, has been his devoted attend ant. The mail is well formed, his bead is of the round type and the brain apiiarently well de veloped. He does not talk, hut utters shrieks and cries nt intervals, and sometimes tears at his head with his hands ns if suffering pain. He is kept fastened to a staple in the Hour, not from fear of his doing violence to any one, to which he has never shown a di.sp>>iti>ii. hut from apprehension that, in his utter helpless ness, he might hurt himself. Hir, cries cmiinoiuc times Ih heard for a quarter of a mile, hut as the house stands at some distance from the traveled highway the public are not disturiied. The Stan* authorities investigated the case some time ago and came to the conclusion that the nmn was I setter olf w here he was than he would be in a lunatic asylum. In the summer tune he is .sometimes taken out and fastened to atm for fresh air. 'Hie case is especially sin gular for the reason that the unfortunate man’s health is apparently excellent, npart from his utter idiocy. He is the owner of a small prop erty and is under the guardianship of a relative, the family being tan* of tho oldest and most re spectable in tho State. Tho Latest Immigrants.

In this Mr. Condon is to lit up a dark room for his photography, ile built tho boat himself, doing ali except the iron work and rigging. A resident of Rocton, 111., was driving to the creamery* the other day, when his team became frightened and ran away. Tho horses were rather high-strung animals, and were only ar rested after they bad got tired and had covered eight or ten miles. When the owner came up to the place where the runaway*; had been stopped, be was surprised to find that tho cream i:i the wagon had been converted into a prime quality of butter, that onlj* needed salt ing and the finishing touches to make it ready for the table or market. A Chinese joss house or temple, on Chatham stra t, New York, was burned a day or two ego and totally destroyed. The furniture and a rificial ornaments, which were only recently im ported from Ilong Kong, the gorgeously deco rated ioss, who was seated on a throne having been burned with the temple, it is said the more devout and superstitious Chinamen claim that the joss hail suddenly got mad at the New York Chinamen for their infidelity and depart ed voluntarily.

At a recent “function.” the well-known ludi(*a apparently vied-with each other in their dazzling display. Each posed under chandelier just where the light fell with brilliant effect upon the revieres of dirt diamonds and stars, crossrs, crescents and studs of sapphires, emeralds and a!', the gems,of the Orient; It was a veritable jewel competition and fairly bewildered some of tho more mod estly .adorned natives. Mr. Quinn, agent of tho United States Ex press Company* at Chenoa, 111., has a curiosity— a freak of nature which he dug out of the ground. It is a piece of the root of a cherry tree,aboutßinches I>ng, and has several sprouts extending out on ail Miles. On one of these sprout •> there is a bowl of a gutta-percha pipe, t'trough which the root has grown, going m at the place where the stem goes on and coming out of the top of the howl of the pipe. The bowl of the ptpo was probably* lost by someone and got buried in the ground, and tne roots of the cherry tree grew through the bowl. Little by little the government engineers are evolving from tho “Potomac flats” what is to lx* one of the largest and finest parks in the world. According to the latest report on the work by Col. Ha ins. the officer iu charge, 375 acres have now tx*c*n reclaimed. Abort hnh the work is already done. When completed, the park will be connected with the reservat ions, beginning with the extensive grounds surround ing the capitol, the botanic and gardens, the Smithsonian grounds, the agricultural grounds, the Monument park and White lot, the whole forming a park of extraordinary size ami beauty. That merry little American, Marshall P. Wil der, is having a good time in London as well as Buffalo Bill. Marshall was in the lobby of the House of Commons the other day talking with some sporadic dukes and earls, when a certain Irish member rushed out in a state of great ex citement. “What?” asked Marshall, hiding most of his face behind one of his largest smiles, “what is the difference between me and that many” And then taking it for granted that every one would give it up he replied: “Ti e difference is just this: he is a wild Iff. I\, and I am an M. P. Wilder.” The noble cohort of lis teners gave the regulation guffaw, and took Marshall out to have something. ©n May 4 last Leroy Deaton, living uear Enochville, Rowan county, N. C., was married to an estimable young lady of the neighborhood, and in a few days thereafter the couple paid a visit to friends at Mooivsville. Iredell county. On the night following the arrival at the place some of the young friends of the couple sere naded them after midnight. One of the sere nading instruments was a drum, which was thrust through an open window of the room in which the couole were sleeping and beaten vio lently. The shock was too great for Ihe nerv ous system of the young wife, arid she was thrown into spasms from fright. Every effort has since been made to restore her to her usual health, but she gradually grew worse until she died. The cunning of foxes has an illustration in the practice of one which is said to have been observed by all the men about a stable yard in which he was kept in London. When fed, he throws scraps of food as nearly uspossihle about the spots to which the limits of his chain enables him to reach, then retires his kennel, and does not go to sleep, but sinks, in all appearances, in slumber. The fowls presently come pecking about, and some appetizing morsels lie on the ground just, as it seems, out of tlicir enemy's range. He is, asthey suppose from bis looks, in a condition of slumber, and so, gaining confidence, an incautious fowl is tempted. Then, with a spring, out bounds Mr. Fox, there is a de spairing cluck, and he returns to his kennel with chicken for supper. Mrs. Pierre Lohil lard is said to have discov ered in a Newport store a set of antique Dutch cut glass that proved to ba, one of the oddest t hings. Some industrious Dutch workman must have spent a year on each of the pieces. The dishes were oblong in shape, with a silver how fora handle. And he had bestowed the most delicate mathematical work upon the sides, edges and bottom of each. Exquisite little r. . os, no larger than a pea. were cut on every facet, and the crystal was like diamonds. Mrs Lorillard pounced on them with the intuition of appreciation. They were wrapped in a.square of old Spanish embroidery and taken to im prove the Laly's line collection, altogether the most artistic bric-a-brac shown at Newport, where old hits and pieces abound this season. And there are no duplicates, either. A kangaroo in the Philadelphia Zoo has de serted its four-month-old baby and the little long-legged specimen is being brought up on the bottle. This is a state of affairs that has never been known to exist before, in this coun try, if, indeed, it has ever been heard of any where. As is well known to scientists, the female kangaroo takes the young one at its birth and places it in the pouch which nalure has provided for the purpose, carrying it there and nourishing it until the young jumper is old enough and strong enough to look out for itself. P appears the mother kangaroo became fright ened at something and suddenly threw out the young one she hud been carrying. The little one was not able to care tor itself, and the keepers made several attempts to replace it iu the mother's pouch. Each time, as soon as the keepers withdrew, the mother threw it out. M. Pasteur was of course deeply gratified at the favorable report made on his system of anti hydn tpnobio inoculation by the English scientific* commission. Speaking on the subject to the French Academy of Scieuce he said: 'T leave aside tie passionate attacks which have been made by persons who did not at tempt the least exiieriment themselves, nor observe for them selves the facts set forth ia my laboratory, nor even exchange any words or ideas on the sub ji-ct of tiio prophylactic against rallies with Prof. Grande r or trie doctoi s who assisted him. lint, deep as is mv sati faction as a Frenchman at the coiiclu iiin of this report, I cannot help experiencing n sentiment of great sorrow when I remember that this high testimony. g|\en hva committee of illustrious savant*, will not Ist known by him who in the beginning of the ap plication id' tile method upheld me by his advice and his inlluoneo, and wlm lati roh when I was absent and ill, knew so well ho * To defend Urn interests of truth and justice—l nteau our dear colleague Vulpiaa.” A qt'EEU Story Is told In connection with the recent death of Mrs. Potter of near Marlotte, MieU., and the subsequent discovery of her re mains.
