It is u!d of Mr. Mackey, the million
aire; that when. the Sisters of Charity
began to establish asylums in Nevada
ho sent for the mother of the order and
told her he would be responsible for all
the bills.
The report is given circulation by the
Washington Star that a! the coming ses
sion of Congress an effort will be made
to suspend the navigation laws for several
years, in order that foreign-bnilt ships
maybe registered and sail under the
American flag. The plan is to make an
experiment for a fixed time.
It is against the law to catch trout
with nets in Cayuga and Seneca lak:s,
but the interior cities of Now York hav
ing long been bountifully supplied from
these sources, a game constable lately
made a trip on Lake Cayuga in a small
steamboat to discover and pull up gill
nets. He found a large number, and,
while destroying one, was shot at from
the shore.
The rumor that Jay Gould lias pur
chased the New York World is again cur
rent. A more prqbablo story is that he
has purchased the property on the comer
of Beekmau street and Park Row, op
posite the World office, and will erect
thereon a nine-story building for the ac
commodation of the AmericanJUnlon Tele
graph Company, and for the offices of bis
numerous railroads.
The creditors of Aichbishop Purcell,
of Cincinnati, held a meeting Tuesday to
provide a more vigorous prosecution of
the salt against the church property begun
some montlis ago. The action is against
all the Catholic church property in the
Cincinnati dioceseo including, with half
a dozen exceptions, all the churches,
school-houses, parsonages, cemeteries and
much other property In Southern Ohio.
It was chaiged in the meeting that the
assignee is anxious to save the property
to the congregations rather than to secure
the sale for the benefit of the creditors,
and a petition asking the Probate Court
to take the matter out of his hands was
circulated.
A Giml who Feaus sue will be
Eaten*.—There is living at the house of
Capt. Means, Mys the Milbridge Journal,
a girl about nine years of age, whose his
tory is remarkable. An American vessel
called at a small island in tho Pacific
Ocean to procure water. The island was
inhabited by cannibals. They brought
this little girl to sell for the Captain’s
dinner, offering to prepare her for cook
ing if they would buy. The Captain told
them he would bny her. She was bought,
and lire Captain afterwards meeting Capt.
Means, gave her to him. She still be
lieves she will be killed and eaten, and
when strangers enter the house she clings
to Mrs. Means, and begs protection of
her.
Wab between Eotpt and Abys
sinia.—A Loudon dispatch of the 2-Uli
says: The secretary of the Anti-Slavery
Society writes as follows: “It is to l>e
feared that there is little hope that war
between Egypt and Abyssinia will long
be averted. News bas just reached me
from undoubted authority to tire effect
that orders have been issued from Cairo
to drive back tire Abyssinians by force.
Two thousand troops arc at Keren, and a
battalion has been sent to Sanhit. It is
stated that 1C,000 soldiers have left Cairo.
A German missionary In Abyssinia states
that the King is convinced that Egypt
intends to attack him, and has Issued
orders that all Mussulmans must leave
the country or be baptized.”
Steel Rails.—'The rapid growth of
railroad business and the sensible improve
ment in the income! of the corporations
have lately given a tremendous impulse
to the market for steel rails, in which the
demand far outruns the supply. The
New York Bulletin notes a great number
of orders for rails in small and large quan
tities. The Chicago Tribune, speaking
of the “boom” in this article, says that
the Edgar Thompson Steel Works, at
Pittsburg, have lately received orders for
£0,000 tons, the demand coming principal
ly from new roads pushing their way
westward, and including tho Texas
Pacific, the Atchison and Topeka, the
Wabash and the Louisville aod Nash
ville. These rails range from 00 to CO
pounds to the yard, while the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Pennsylvania roads, for
all their heavier grades, are securing
rails whieh weigli 07 pounds per yard.
These orders are taken at a fixed price.
It is estimated that thi3 firm alone in 1881
Will roll 120,000 tons of rails, for all of
which it has orders. Theso rails will
supply 1,140 miles of railway with steel
track. It will therefore require fifteen
mills of llio capacity of the Edgar Thomp
son works, working full time, to supply
rails enough to equip all our railroads
with steel rails in tho course of five years.
Mrs. Rennie, tho wife of a ratliej
wealthy Nevada mining expert, is said by
a correspondent ol the Cincinnati Enquir
er to he tho Mrs. Langtry of this city.
She is thus described: “It is said that
ahe is Mexican, or at least of mixed Mex
ican and Spanish parentage. She is not
more than 17, but, being a brunette, she
looks .20 or so. She is the bride of a year.
Her height is about five leet seven, and
she has a faultless fignre—Just full enongli
to be round, with pleasing swells and
tapers, and & perfectly graceful carriage.
Her head is held proudly, but, without
stiffness, ller hair is coal black and
naturally Abundant. If I have left her day, will
face to describe last it is because that
is the climax of her beauty. Her com
plexion is as dark as a quadroon’s,
but withont a tinge of yellowness,
being as bright and clear' as that of
a blonde. The richness of her color
is something marvellous. Her eyes
large, black, and are the most pas
sionately expressive I ever saw. Her
features are precisely regular, except that
her lips are rather full, though shapely.
Indeed, the regularity of her features
would in a girl of less warmth of color
cause a Jack of expression; but in her
case the blood conies too close to the sur
face, and the eyes flash too spiritedly to
psrinit of such a detriment. She is indeed
a glorious creature.” The writer says
that Mis. Rennie lias been taken up by
society as a pet; that ahe will preside at
the floral-liootli of a big fashionable fair,
that she has been engaged to appear in
tableaus for charity, and is becoming ail
Unerase.

Fifth Artillery band. i
Tho recent.electiou of. judicial officers,
which was concluded day before jrester-

which will take mace for some time, as
there are tliree hills In the Assembly to
abolish this system of obtaining our
judges and solicitore gcnoral. One bill
has been introduced in . the Senate and
two in the House. One of the House hills
contemplates tho.election of these officers
by tiie people of their respective circuits;
the other bill commits f bo duty of ap
pointment to the Governor. Wo arc ail
glad the elections arc over.
It has been a mostftedious labor and bas
thus far monopolize J the attention of the
General Assembly. Since Tuesday of last
week the two houses have been engaged
continuously, morning and afternoon, in
the simple matter of calling the roll and
voting. Three weeks have gone aud it has
beenfmpossible to attend to any legisla
tion In this time, for while not actually
engaged iu voting, the attention of legis
lators lias been necessarily eugrosseifby
the one hundred candidates for the va
rious offices. It has been the dnty of mem
bers to listen to them patiently and iu the
main good officers have been obtained.
The system, like every other which has
been tried for the selection of officers of
the Judiciary, has its grave objections.
The general disposition now is to ad
journ over until summer. The principal of the State demanded it. Mr. Milner was

The call resulted as follows: Yeas 51,
nays 73. So the motion to postpone did
not prevail.
The question then recurred on tho orig
ina! proposition, which is to adjourn on
Saturday week till the first Wednesday In
full timo is now cousumcd the extra ses
sion will be clear additional expense, but
if the adjournment is made at once there
will be little extra expense in the contem
plated summer session. It is urged by
many that the numerous elections have
placed it utterly out of their power to give
proper consideration to the important sub-
Jecuof railroads, penitentiary, education,
etc., and that anything done upon them
now would be lrastv, crude and imperfect.
By summer they will have matured
measures necessary to effect some much
needed reforms. When the members as
sembled no one knew to what particular
duty he would be assigned, but now all
the committees are appointed and each
one knows the subject which requires his
study and attention. In consequence of
the time occupied by these elections, no
progress has been made in the business of
legislation, further than the introduction
aud reference of bills. With this excep
tion, nothing has been done and it has
been impossible to do more. The busi
ness other than that of the elections, may
bo said to be just started.
I think, if my memory is not incorrect,
that there have been but three speeches
made this term, and they were all very
short. This House is not given to much
speaking.
House adjourned. Cabolynx.

Sixty Yards of Rattlesnakes.
Commodore Joseph de Stephenson,well
known all over the Western continent,
and now a resident of Antelope creek, in
this county, informs us that during tho
summer he hsd been incessantly pros
pecting in this section, having the faith in
finding a great fortune, and that at one
time he lived on roasted barley for seven,
teen days, sare two doves and an occa
sional rattlesnake. He has killed since
his advent to Antelope rattlesnakes,
whose skins lie has retained, which, when
stretched out, will measure sixty yards.
Tho Commodore has a long stick with a
crotch on one end, between which he has
fixed a thong, with which he captures
these little pet3 by pushing the fork over
the neck, holding tho snakes secure until
he decapitates them. He tells us that, af
ter skinning the snake, lie cuts the meat
up Into slices three or four inches long,
puts into salt water for a few hours, when
he takes it out and fries it in hot lard un
til it turns to a brown color, when it is
ready for tho table, and is unsurpassed by
any meat in the world.—Prescott (A. T.)

Table Forks.—It Is not
known that wa are indebted to Ijie < hi"

until the last part of the sixteenth cen
tury that table forks were introduced in
to polite society in England. . -
They were partially known in Italy in
the tenth century, for in a letter to Peter
Dainiani, who died in 1072, mention is
made of a lady from Constantinople,
who was married to the Dodge of Venice,
aud who wa! so fastidious respecting her*
food as to use a fork to take her. meat.
They are ;mentioned in a chatter, of

Tiie former was an Ann street man for
six years, and what years of toil they
were ! lie met Greeley almost daily, but
there was no congeniality, audit is doubt
ful if they ever held a half hour’s co lvere
salion. Bennett, however, saw tiie power
of the laborious printer and editor, who
was plodding with such determination,
and lie offered him a partnership m the
Herald. The idea was impracticable,
since each man was a leafier, and you
might as well have united Ben Franklin
and Voltaire in a grand journalistic effort.
BotlTdennett mud Greeley were ambitious,
but one looked on the journal merely as
tho road to wealth and distinction, while
the other viewed wealth merely as a
means of making the journal. The per
fect newspaper was Greeley’s lifelong
Ideal. Bennett cired nothing for the con
tents of his paper so long as It sold. Gree
ley, on the other band, did not expect
wide popularity, nor did he care fur
its loss so lqug as the paper was
maintained in its noble destiny. He did
not (as he said) “expect to please every
one. but he intended to make a paper in
which everybody (ot decent character)
might find something of interest and noth
ing offensive to morals.” For this rea
son lie employed writers of classical at
tainment, In which point he was utterly
deficient. Bennett, on the other band,
though a fine Latin aud Greek scholar,
was indifferent to literary style. He
wanted a corps of free lancers to make
forays on society, and required spice rath
er than elegance. Greeley essayed the
discussion ot social topics with a view of
improving the race, wbilo Bennett' only
laughed at the reformer and his ethics.
To quote his words, “Greeley was a gal
vanized squash.” This was the end of
all controversy. When these remarka
ble men left Ann street, one went to the
cast and tho other to the west. They
were, however, only separated a few hun
dred feet, and for nearly thirty years each
labored in producing a great journal—but
what a gulf between them!
Greeley and Bennett, when they were
Ann street editors, were both of slender
build, but in expression of face there was
a vast difference. Their offices were near,
but they were approached from different
directions, and, hence, seldom mot. Gree
ley general'y entered Aim street from
Broadway, while Bennett’s route was from
tho Nassau street comor. Greeley, though
slightly stooping, looked people square in
the face, while Ronnell, who was four
inches taller, stood holt upright, but fixed
his eye downward, as though to conceal
hit repulsive features. Bennett walked
stiffly and carried a cane. Greeley would
have felt as awkward with the letter as he crease,
would with a * sword. Bennett 1
•Jressed neatly. Greeley was a sloven,
Bennett wrote a legible hand
(lie once was a teacher), while Gree
ley’s caligraphy was abominable. As an
editor, Bennett’s forte was to dictate,
while Greeley’s was to write. The Her
ald’s best articles were done by the staff,
while tho Tribune’s thunderbolts bore the
stamp of its chief. Both of these hlon were
abstemious, and although Bennett was
olten the apologist for vice, his Iiahits
were very correct; his iufluoncc, however,
was always for sale. Each of these
eccentric editors, though III adapted for
courtship, bocamo married men. Few
men had less time.for lovo matters or less
grace to win woman’s favor than Bennett,
but he announced with pride his ap
proaching wedding. The birth oflejeune
cdileur was announced with still greater
pride; and wbat a career the young editor
lias endured! Both Greeley and Bennett
were borne to Greenwood eight years
ago.
Garfield and Civil Service Reform'
_WasuinotuNV November 20.—Horace
White and F. W. Whitney, representing
thd Independent Republican Association
of New York, called on General Garfield
at his residence hero to-day, and present'
eil him with an address from that associa
tfon congratulating him upon ids election,
and calling Ids attention to tiie present
condition of civil service reform. The
address says: . “Tho dangers to our polit
ical system from the savage contest every
four years respecting tho distribution of
federal offices seem to us extremely grave.
History leaches that the tiling most to bo
guarded against in a republic is tiie ex
cess of party rage. Tids spirit, always
sufficiently active under free governments,
is stimulated ami augmented to an alarm
ing danger by the 'spoils' system, which
regards all federal officers as prizes of the
majority, and which wonld have snatched
from tiie whole body of present incum
bents their means of livelihood if a few
thousand votes in tlite State which were
cast for himself iiad been cast for General
Hancock. Is It not apparent that tho
greed and terror inspired by such a system
must add largely to the bitterness of our
national elections, and increasingly as the
country grows in population and federal
patronage becomes,more extensive ? No
other civilized government exposes its
public servants to the danger of beggary
upon the hazard of an election, or would
expect good service from them under such
conditions.”
After recoj
in the way
tiujien “We holievo, however, that pub
lic opinion is in advance.ofauy reform of
the civil service hitherto attempted, and
that you may safely establish riles for tho
entrance ’< to all subordinate ■ positions
which shall make ascertained merit tiie
sole test of appointment—discarding botli
partisan services and party affiliation
from tins list''of qnalifications. In this
way a new basis may be gradually gained
for the civil intvico to rest upon, so that
hereafter no political party in its hour' of
triumph shall look upon public offices as
an enemy’s camp, subject to indiscrimi
nate pillage-” —
The aiklicss.is signed by the ExccuUvo
Committee or tne' Independent Republi
can Association. Geiieral Garfield, after
reading the paper, entered upou a discus
sion of the civil service, in the courso of
winch lie said he Imped to have the co-op
eration of Congress in establishing a legal
basis for ail routine appointments, so that
it shall not be iu the power of anybody,
even the President himself, to remove any
capable and faithful appointee during his
term of office, whether the time bo'long
