Hmokeks will be pleased to learn that of eight inmates dying of smallpox in one tenement house, in New York, all were cigar makers. Greenbaokers are holding meetings preparatory to moving on Oongress. It seems that the money question is bother ing nearly everybody. Mark Twain is living in Canada, just so as to get a copyright on his last new book. When that is done he will return to tho United States again. Mr. Seth S. Bishop, M. D., of No. 298 Ogden avenue, Chicago, publishes a statement showing Guite&u, the mur derer, committed forgery when in that city. Contrary to report respecting the President’s opposition to women, he has sent the names of two of the fair sex to the Senate for confirmation as Post mistresses. An exchange says President Grevy, although he gets a salary of $200,000 a year, makes his own coffee. Well, there is nothing so bad abont that. Jay Gonld drinks his.

Edward S. fVropg. the Mayer of Eiak, having met with great pecuniary ccccccccc success in California, is living in a very extravagant. manner in New York, and Tosie Mansfield is in New York, leading a quiet life ou her own means. According to statistics the export of butter from this country to Europe in the past year has fallen off one-half. The cause is attributed to the manufac ture here of oleomargarine, and the English don’t care alxmt being fooled. Senator Hawlet attended the Gui teau trial a few days ago, and says : “ Guiteau is the shrewdest man in the Court-room, and cannot be called insane i n any sense of the word. ” That opin ion seems to pretty generally prevail. Guiteau is possessed of a keen percep tion. When his sister, Mrs. Sooville, the other day, told a witness she desired to ask a question, she was interrupted by the prisoner with the remark : “ Yon keep stilL It’s all they can do to put up with me.” How truly he spoke. Herb is a paragraph for those young men who have never learned their alpha bet: Senator Joe Brown, of Georgia, was twenty years old before he learned to read. At thirty-three he was elected to a judgeship, and at thirty-seven he be came Governor. He is now, at sixty eight, a United States Senator. The Direotor of the Mint has caused a calculation to be made of the cost of silver bullion which has been coined into dollars during the three years end ing June 30, 1881. He finds a profit of $9,752,210. For example, the peo ple paid $72,000,000 in gold for silver bnllion which they coined into about $81,700,000 in silver. It is thought that Secretary Freling huysen will pursue the same course as that taken by Blaine on the subject of naturalization. This is that a foreigner taking the oath of allegiance and be coming a citizen of the United States occupies the same ground as the native born, and that he is released from all claims his original Government had upon him. A Piute Princess married an Indian Agent numed Hopkins recently, and is now coming East to lecture. She was educated at a Catholic seminary iu Cali fornia. Speaking of the Indian Agents in general, sfie says: “We do not object to the Agent clasping the sack in the middle and retaining half of our allow ance, but when he empties all there is into his own store and throws us the empty sack, then we object.” “Mashing,” as usually understood, is the aot of captivating the heart of the opposite sex on sight. The “mashing” process, however, is not always success ful, and the effort, when directed to a respectable person, is universally ac cepted as the grossest insult. In New York the police have instructions to collar and maroh to the station-house all “mashers” who, by their wanton ad vances, insult respectable ladies. In the Cleveland High School, educa tional cramming has gone on to such an extent that 25 per cent, of the girls and 18 per cent, of the boys have been com pelled to quit school on account of bad health. Of these invalids 95 per cent, were well when they entered, only 5 per cent, being classed as deKeate. Since taking a rest thirty-eight oontinue unim proved, thirty-five have got well, twenty five are said to bp in fair health, and two have died, The above statements are made on authoriiy of a member of the Board of Education, who seems to have given the matter careful study. We quom from the Cincinnati Gazette (Rep.) of the 16th inst. : “ Our Wash ington correspondent gives in a dispatch the particulars of a scheme of stupen dous grandeur, which is the true inward ness of our recent diplomacy with Peru and Chili. It is scheme which makes the Credit Mobilier a two-penny matter by comparison. It ia no less than that a ring of American adventurers, having high political connections, have set up, as by purchase, a claim of $900,000, (XV against Peru, and they propose to have our government “mediate,” and require Peru to transfer her guano and niter beds to this oomp&ny, who shall farm them, and pay, first, themselves, next the indemnity to Chili, and next the sur plus to Peru. Thus does the great South American Credit Mobilier stand revealed as the promoter of our Peruvian diplo macy. Mark Twain, at the banquet to him at Montreal the other evening, said : “ I speak French with timidity, ftd not flowingly—except when excited. I had hoped that mere French oonstrnofcion— with English words—would answer, but this is net the ease. I tried it at a gen tteup*i* house in Quebec, but ftWnld not work.

I said: ‘He will desolate himself when he learns that his friend American was arrived and he not with himself to shake him at the hand.’ She did not even understand that; I don’t know why, but she didn’t, and she lost her temper besides. Somebody in the rear called out : Qui est done lar or words to that effeoi. She said : '(Test un fou / and shut the door on me.” There seems to be considerable swin dling done in the oyster trade. The Meat Inspector of Pittsburg has been investigating the subjeot, and from his report the Pittsburg Pott publishes the following: “One gallon of oysters which oost ninety oonts weighed three pounds and seven ounces less than it should have weighed, and contained 39 39-100 per cent, of water. Another gallon, which also cost ninety cents* was three pounds and eight ounces short in weight, and con tained 40 per cent, of water. Still another gallon, which cost sl, contained 14 44-100 per cent, of water. A gallon of oysters should weigh eight pounds and twelve ounces. The Inspector also submitted a statement showing that from August 25, 1880, to April 5, 1881, 60,- 000 gallons of oysters and been received and sold in the two cities. Btroet peddlers sold 9,- 500 gallons, to which they added 7,125 gallons of water or 75 per cent. Of the balance re ceived retail dealers sold 5,800 gallons, to which they added 2,175 gallons of water or 87>$ per cent. Wholesale dealers added 12>£ percent, of water. To the entire 60,000 gallons of oysters, 14,664 gallons of water or 24 44-1000 per cent, was added.” If this is the case among oyster deal ers at Pittsburg, the probability is that tlie'same practices are generally indulged elsewhere. PRIYATEERIKG. Operations Daring the Eighteenth Crs* tur.v on the High Seas. [Fraser’s Magazine.] In former days the treasure-ships be longed to the enemy until they became ours by capture ; in the present age the treasure and the ships that carry it are English, and it is difficult to picture the consternation in the city on healing of the loss of some steamer bringing home ward a rich freight of diamonds from the Cape, or of gold from Australia. But as we hung steadfastly to the right of making prize of the Spanish plate ship, it is not to be expected that any enemy which fate may now send us wiil waive liis claim to the English steam ers, if only he has the power to assert it; and against that it behooves us to be on our guard. It seems, however, prob able that, under the existing rules of the Declaration of Paris, but few large prizes will be made, such as founded many a fortune in the last or earlier oen turies, when international scruples did not exist, and naval opinion was abso lutely single as to the advisability and even necessity of making captures and sharing them out among the captors. This opinion, rooted in the “custom” of the sea. was as old as the English nation, and had descended from the days of Hengist and Horsa, of Harry Page—the Arripay of the French chroniclers—of Drake, or Frobisher,’ or Lancaster, down to the time when Commodore Wager took the great galleon, or Anson gutted the Aleapulco ship. The stories of such times seem to the seamen of to-day, like fairy tales of childhood, too good to be true; but from a strictly naval point of view they have their dark side; and it is very cer tain that of the quarrels between senior officers which so often disgraced our service, a great number were due, di rectly or indirectly, to the natural but unclnvalrous desire of making money. The bitter feud between Rodney and Arbuthnot, on the coast of North Amer ica, in 1780, was one of these. The friendly relations between Lords St Vincent and Nelson, which led to such glorious results, were interrupted by a lawsuit on their rival claims for prize money; and the ill feeling which Nelson and Sir John Orde entertained for each other was at least strengthened by pe cuniary considerations. Lord Howe’s conduct on the “Ist of June” was angrily criticised by many, as though he might have rendered the victory still more decisive had he not been over anxious about the security of the prizes. Sir John Jervis was similarly spoken of after the battle of St. Vincent; and after the battle of the Nile, the burning of several of the prizes, whose preservation would have taxed the efficiency of the fleet, appeared to Nelson a measure of very grave responsibility, as defrauding the* men under his command of the money to which they were justly en titled. The bitterness which frequently arose oat of considerations of prize money was undoubtedly increased by the dis proportion*, te share of the senior officers. Of the prizes just referred to as burned at the Nile, Nelson estimated the share of the Commander-in-Chief as £3,750, of a Captain as £1,000; bat a Lieuten ant as £75, and of a seaman as £2 4s. Id. In the faoe of such figures, it is all very well to talk of prize-money as encouraging seamen to do their duty; but its principal use was to offer great ebanoes to the senior officers, ana its real evil was the nrcmotaag jealousy aad iil*wiil between the flag officers ana even the Captain®. This, however, naval officers would have been slow to as> knowledge. The Poor Set Islanders. “ Here Ist me ask the sympathies of all peopls for the poor South Sea Islanders who are held as degraded slaves on the Sandwich Islands. The other serfs can in some way be heard. The Chinese coolies are, perhaps, better off than they were in China; anyway, thev are able to take care of themselves, and they have more than once thrown defiance in the face of the Hawaiian Government. The Portu gese have a sort of Consul in Honolulu and also the Bishop of the Catholio Church to whom they can appeal iu some respects; the Mexicans, and there are quite a number on the island now, have also a Consul. Ido not know how it is about the Norwegians and others, but being white men they oan probably be heard. But no hearing can alleviate their galling servitude. They may be simply counseled to obedience. It is different with the South Sea Islanders. They have no Consul, nobody to repre sent them, and as they are ignorant of x>th the Hawaiian and English lan guages, they are virtually deaf and dumb, and are driven about by signs, precisely like beasts of burden. In their own islands they never labored be yond fisliing and picking cocoanuts enough to sustain life. They were free and independent men, subject alone to the call of their chief. When arriving on the plantations they find that they must work from daylight till dark and their food is not fit for hogs. They are a simple, child-like race, and not being inured to hardship they find fheir chains cutting into them. * The mortality among them, both on the slaves while they are coming to the islands and on the plantations, is frightful. They at times die off like sheep that have the rot. They are a sad sight as they ar rive, and to see them with tin labels around their necks, and numbers thereon to designate them, as they go along, de jected and aimless looking, is a sight that world move any heart (not hard ened! with pity. *‘l will narrate a touching incident connected with one of those poor crea tures. He was working on one of the other islands, got sick, and by some means came to Honolulu to go to the hospital The steamer on which he was on board arrived in Honolulu on Sunday, but the authorities took no steps to see into the case of the unfortunate South Sea Islander, as people there are very careful not to break the Sabbath. On Monday morn ing somebody made it his business to inform the authorities that there was a hospital patient on board the steamer, 4nd when the proper authorities went on" board they found the poor South Sea Islander dead. He was literally mur dered through carelessness, through in human and brutal neglect. I was in Honolulu at the time, and I only heard one man who denounced this merciless indifference, and that was Dr. McKib ben, jun., who did not hesitate to name the brutality m its proper terms. But I can not give you a perfect picture of the degradation that exists on the planta tions, and of the utterly wretched condi tion of the serfs. The dead South Sea Islander is but one, no doubt, of many who die like dogs, and are put out oi sight as soon as possible. —Honolulu Cor. San Francisco Chronicle. Horses That Stumble. In the matter of stumbling, Capt. Hayes (in his book “Riding on the Flat and Across the Country”) goes into its theory, drawing distinctions that may be very serviceable. He explains that there are two kinds of stumbling. One is really dangerous, when the horse is either weak in the forelegs, or ciamped in the action, or with the physical de fect* of two straight shoalders. But when stumbling arises from the knee being insufficiently bent, or the toe un duly depressed, thereby catching upon any inequality in the ground, it may be safely disregarded, unless the animal is intended for show rather than use. We may add, for ourselves, that we have ridden excellent horses with this fail ing ; that, frequently as they might trip or stumble, experience told us that they were absolutely sure-footed; but that what we chiefly object to was, that in cases when they were nervous, each trip led almost invariably to a success ion of others. That such stumbling comes of a slovenly maimer of going there can be no doubt. It happens comparatively seldom in exhilarating weather, or when the horse has been brought fresh out of the sta ble ; but when listless and languid, or when fatigue begins to tell, then you are quickly made aware of his condi tion by his blundering. Capt. Hayes’ chapter on fiat-racing, and steeple chasing and training will be read with interest, even by amateurs. He backs up his own opinions and experiences on these subjects by communications from well-known trainers and jockeys. As to giving “orders” in a race, his ideas seem to us very sensible. "With a young hand instruction may be necessary, but if the jockey be a fairly good one, the rid ing should be left to ins discretion. it is impossible to foresee all possible circumstances, and decisions must be taken on the spur of the moment As for starting, he calls attention for “ get ting off ”as quickly as possible—a mat ter in which, though it is obviously of paramount importance, some people would appear to be strangely indiffer ent As he says, “whatever distance is lost at the start must be made up when the horses are galloping, at which time the effort to regain the lost lengths may very possibly be equivalent to throwing a wav an advantage of as many pounds.* — Condor* Saturday BeHcttK ! * * XtU tfooWWs ft'ft.

There was a little company up on Day ton street, and during the entertainment the hostess dragged her hopeful to the front to “ speak a piece.” “Come, Johnny, like a good boy, and speak * Mary’s littl* lamb’ for the ladies and gentlemen. ” Johnny knew that there was remu neration in the background, and, the preliminaries having been arranged in an undertone* slicked, his hair and started in : “ Mary had a little fleece, its suow was tviliu' . #wA; And every time that Mary lambed That fleece would go to school.” “NOw, how, Johnny,” said Ilia in other j “you know tiiat isn’t right. Say it just as you did tliis afternoon and I’ll—;” here she broke into a maternal whisper, and the inevitable nuisance turned up again: “ Mary had a little lamb, Whose white was snow as fleece, And everywhere that Mary went That lamb would go apiece.” ‘ * Johnny, Johnny, ” chided the mother. “ That isn’t quite right. Speak it right this time. The ladies and gentlemen never heard it. Now go on.” Once more the common and inextin guishable fraud went at it: “ Mary had a little snow, Its fleece was lined with white, And everywhere the lamb would go Mary was sure to bite.” “What a naughty boy!” exclaimed the proud mother, who had been train ing the cub all the afternoon for this display. “Nowspeak it right or mamma won’t kiss you when you go to bed. ” Thus prepared, the insect perpetrated himself once more: “Mary had a little wool, Its fleece was lined with snow, And evervone that Mary fleeced, _ The white was sure to show.” “I’m ashamed of you, Johnny, that you don’t spealc it right. You must do it this time or mamma will have to pun ish you.” “I won’t 1” bawled the urchin. But his mother promised him some additional candies, or buns, or clams or something that had the great social ad vantage of lying heavily on his stomach, and the wretch began vo bawl: “ Mary had a little school, Its'snow was fleece as lamb, And everywhere that Mary went, You’d surely find that ram.” Then the guests very properly inter fered, and said it was a shame to tor ment the sweet child. He had done no bly, and should have his pay right off. And his mother packed him i.if to bed while the company found solace in the reflection that he would probably burst hia head before morning bawling with The stomachache and writhing under the nightmare.— Brooklyn Eagle. Only One News-Stand. There is only one newspaper in Yen ice and one crier of papers in the streets, and this vendor makes a noise between a yelp and a bay—a sad but desperate noise, as if his epiglottis had been struck by lightning and he was about to expire in mortal agony. I bought a Baris pa per from him—about all he carries—but it didn’t seem to do him any good. The saddest thing in Venice is the ab sence of newspapers. I have never yet seen one in the hands of anybody but a traveler. The red-faced Venetian sits lazily under the half-drawn curtain that takes the place of door to his shop, waiting for customers, knowing nothing of the world without; the women, bare footed or in toe-slippers, shuffle and gos - sip about; but no one has a newspaper or a book ; the somber gondolier quar rels for an extra contesimi from his pas senger, but he never heard of America or of England, and has never read a word even of his own language. All are proud of Venice, even though she is but the dowerl ess bride of tee Adriatic; proud that she was once conquered by Napo leon ; proud of the church and square of St. Marks ; proud of the palace of the Doges, with its quaint Moorish-Gothic architecture ; proud, for aught I know, of the Bridge of Sighs, “a prison and a palace on each h.nd,” which we trav ersed yesterday* and of the horrible ma chinery of persecution underneath, run ning down a hundred steps into the gloomy earth, where the early Venice eveloped all that was devilish in man. But Venice is a bankrupt city, only half fed, a pauper of grass gewgaws and fili gree, slowly returning, through gloomy grandeur, to the quagmire from which Jit sprung.— Venice {ltaly) Oorrespond enoe. ns Now.

The Marriage Life. The marriage life is always an insipid, a vexations, or a happy condition. The first is when two people of no genius or taste for themselves meet together upon such settlement as has been thought reasonable by parents and oonvwyaneenL from an exact valuation of the land ana cash of bofh parties. In this ease*the young lady is no more regarded than the house and improvements in purchase of an estate ; but she goes with her fortune, rather than her fortune with her. These make up the crowd, and fill up the lumber of the human race, without benefioenee toward those below them, or respect to those above them. The vexatious life arises from a conjunction of two people of quick taste and presentment, put to gether for reasons well known to their friends, in which especial care is taken to avoid wbat they think the chief of evils, poverty, and insure to them lichee, with every evil beside*. These people love in a constant constraint before com pany. When they are within obeerva tion they fret at each other’e carriage md behavior; when alone they revue eaoh other’s conduct The happy marriage is where two per sons meet and voluntarily make ehoiee of each other, without principally regard ing or neglecting the circumstances ef fortune or beauty.
