A haunch of mutton was lately sen
anonymously to a gentleman in England
who invited some friends to eat it. A
slight bitterness in some ot the meat ex
cited suspicion, and it was found to be
impregnated with quantities of strych
nine.
Mile. Grevy, daughter of the President,
walks and rides out alone with an inde
pendence very rare among French young
ladies. On being accosted by a too gal
lant countryman lately she is said to have
remonstrated with him quietly on his
impertinence.
It Is whispered in Vatican circles that
Leo XIII intends to resume quietly and
by degrees the State ceremonies of the
Pontifical Court as they were celebrated
eleven years ago, even to going down
Into St. Peter’j and reviving the splendid
ceremor ie* in that famous basilica.
At a bail at Schwarzonbcrg, Sxxony, a
young man entered, having what appear
ed to US a cigar in his mouth. He went
to the chandelier as if to light it, and a
terrible explosion ensued. The lights
were extinguished, the wall partly gave
way, some ot the dancert were covered
•Willi blood, and tbe young map was blown
to pieces. He had killed himself by
means of a dynamite cartridge.
Russia* musical circles were at last
accounts, awaiting with some curiosity
tbe publication tills winter of a series- of
Siberian airs. The Russian Government
comm'ssloned, two years ago, two mu
sicians to travel through the villages of
Siberia and make a collection of national
melodics. Out of the large number col
lected thirty are entirely novel to European
ears.
Mb. Seebohm, a recent traveler in Si
beria, says that “birds go to the Arctic re-
* gions to breed, not by thousands, but by
millions.” And he tells us that the cause
of this migration is in search after food,
which Is there provided them with lavish
prodigality. “Seed or fruit eating birds
find an immense and abundant supply of
cranberries, crowberries, audotberground
fruit, which have remained frozen during
the long winter, and are accessible tbe
moment the snow has melted; while in
sect-eating bl'ds have only to open their
* mouths to fill them with mosquitoes.”
Governor Neil, of Idaho, in his mes
sage to the Legislature, says that poly
gamy is being rapidly Introduced from
Utah. The statute is defective, as it is
found impossible to prove the ceremonies.
The Territory is in danger, and it is be
coming a second edition of Utah, and he
expresses the hope that tbe Legislature
will adopt measures to crush out the prac
tice. He also advises the punishment of
those who advise and preach the doctrine
of polygamy, and recommend that Con
gress be memorialized to amend the act
of 1S(J2 so as to make polygamous cohabi
tation after marriage in another Terri
tory an offense.
Tbe Ohio Senatorship—A Wash
ington telegram to the Sun says: Gov.
Foster’s letter of withdrawal was a sur
prise to the Ohio clique. It is believed
here that Garfield had intimated that it
was liis desire, just as Hayes made simi
lar intimation to Garfield. An Ohio
Congressman said at the Riggs House to
night that there was no certainty, how
ever, that Foster could transfer his fol
lowers to John Sherman. The rumor of
oilers having been made by certain Dem
ocrats to deliver the entire Democratic
vote in the Ohio Legislature to any mod
erate Republican, provided enough Re
publicans will join them to make such an
action successful, is believed to Lave
some foundation. The object is to de
feat Sherman. Hayes lias been taking a
very strong interest in the canvass, and re-
ceutly>ald that Sherman was sure of
election. Sherman’s friends admit that
he will be terribly disappointed if he does
not succeed.
Tennessee's Debt.—The Memphis
Atalanche spya it has some good reasons
for the statement that the New York com
mittee of Tennessee bondholders are now
disposed to entertain more reasonable
views concerning a final settlement of the
State debt than were apparent in tlicir
circular issued a few weeks ago. The
Atalanche says the circular was written
without accurate information of the finan
cial ability ot tbe State or of tbe senti
ments of its people. Tbe Nashville Amer
ican, which has been doing ail in its pow
er to strengthen tbe hands of the debt-
payers, declares that “a more selfish, ob
stinate ana p'ghesded set of men than tbo
New York committee of bondholders
does not exist,” but announces Us pur
pose to labor for tbe settlement it lias
advanced, tliough regarding the New York
bondholders’ circular as an obstacle.
Pensions.—The expensive generosity
of the House of Representatives in pass
ing the bill for the arrears of pensions
will probably cost the government before
the payments are over nearly $400,000,000,
adding at a stroke one dollar to every $15
epent to carry on the war and increasing
by this amount the taxes paid by the in
dustry of tho country. The amount al
ready paid out directly is in round num
bers over $55,000,000, the additional pay
ments for the next fiscal year due to the
law arc nearly half as much more, and a
low estimate of the claims awaiting audit
places their value at $217,000,000, while
for years to come large additional annual
payments will continue under the law.
These enormous disbursements were au
thorized without debate in the House, and
with little discussion in the Senate, and
tho highest estimate of their amount did
not reach one-fifth of tbe real sum now
shown to be necessary.
Not long since, a society of wealthy
philanthropic people were organized in
New York City for the commendable
purpose of providing, as far as their means
would permit, improved dwellings tor tbe
poor. Their operations arc now under
way, on a plot of ground on Fifth avenue,
between Seventy-first and Seventy-second
streets. Thirteen buildings are in course
of erection, each six stories high, built of
■brick. Inside the block will be a square,
which will be planted with linden trees.
-Every room has a large window to the
open atr, and the staircases will be made
of fireproof slato and iron. About 132
families, averaging five to each, .will be
accommodated, and tbe rents will not ex
ceed from $7 to $12 per month, or tbe
same that is now charged for the dark,
unhealthy rooms of the tenement house.
If the experiment is a success, other ven
tures of the same kind will be made, and
in time it Is hoped to thus get rid of the
tenement system.

latest development in Ibis direction is a
proposition or Frederic Gregory Forsyth,
of Portland, Maine, who, according to tbe
Louisville Courier-Journal, is tbe founder
of a new organization to be called “The
Sacred Order of the Empire.” He would
confine this sacred order to tbo 300,000
families which he claims areintheUnited
States which can boast a coat of arms, and
ot these be thinks 30,000 are fit for tbe
American peerage. The bluest of the
bine bloods in this select body are to be
those whose ancestors brought coats of
arms with them to this country previous
to 1C50, and from them are to be se
lected tbe creme de la creme ot Ameri
can aristocracy. All but thoroughbreds
are lobesliictiy excluded from this sacred
order.
Mr. Frederic Gregory Forsyth’s sacred
order may not be able to turn tbe world
upside down or overthrow tbe bold which
tbo Democracy still has upon the Ameri
can people, but straws show the course of
the wind, and in tlie various propositions
of a similar kind which have appeared it
Is easy to see the development of a feeling
which public sentiment lias hitherto kept
latent. The continuance of any one par
ty in power is sure to bring out the feel
ing, which is natural to mankind, of dom
ination over others, and the desire to
make ephemeral power perpetual.
The people of the United States will
probably be awaked to tbe danger which
threatens republican liberty when it is too
late to guard against it. They have let
one opportunity for checking the approach
to Ctcsarism pass, and each succeeding
failure will give greater consistency to the

Death of George Eliot.
London, December 23.—Mrs. Cross
(“Georco Eliot”), tbe distinguished nov
elist, died at 10 o’clock last night. Her
death was quiet and almost painless.
The Pall Malt Gazette of this morning
announces that Mrs. Cross was seized
with a sudden chill, which attacked her
in the larynx on Sunday last. She had,
shortly beiore the attack, received several
friends, who left her in apparently good
health and spirits. The attack, however,
did not give serious cause for alau until
6 o’clock last evening. Dr. Andrew Clark
then discovered that the pericardium was
seriously affected, and pronounced the case
almost hopeless. She passed away quietly.
On the 6tb of May last the deceased was
married, as Miss Marion Evans, to John
Walter Cross, of Weybridge, Surrey, a
merchant in the city.

A Terrible Tale of tbe Sea.
St. Jobns, N. F., December 18.—Dur
ing tbe terrific gale of the week ending
December 4tb, the ship Nonantum, 1,000
tons burden, on a voyago from Mirainich!
bound to Marseilles, was lost near the
highlands of St. George’s Bay, and be
came a total wreck. Her whole crew,
numbering seventeen, with tbo exception
of two, perished of cold, hunger and ex
posure. The limbs of the two survivors
—the mate George Kadger, and a seaman,
Patrick Dooley, were badly
frost-bitten, and will probably have
to bo amputated. The survivors
were in a life-boat with nine otliars, in
cluding the captain, and were driven
ashore by tbe wind and sea. All except
Kadgerand Dooley perished after great
suffering of ten days’ duration from cold,
hnnger and exposure. Two travelers from
the highlands rescued Kadgerand Dooley.
It was noticed by the search party before
burying tbe companions of Kadger and
Dooley that the arm of one man was com
pletely eaten to tbe bone, os if all tbe
poignant agonies of starvation had inci
ted tbe abhorrent appetite of cannibalism.
The captain was alive when found, but
died several hours afterwards. It appears
that tbe other aix of the crew of tbe
Nonantum were in another life-boat and
perished without reaching land. The
coast between St. George’s Bay and Cape
Ray is strewn with wreckage. It appears
that the vessel encountered a storm on
November 20ih and 21st, and lost her top
mast and deck load. The next day the
masts were cut away, but tho sea swept
over her continually, so that she was
abandoned on tbe 22U by tbe crew, who
left in two boats, one of which capsized,
whereby all the provisions were lost. It
was this boat, which was righted,
that landed with eleven persons.
The cook died in a few hours from
exbaustou. The remaining ten clamber
ed to the top of the clifi, and traveling
about in the woods six days they made a
camp, but staid but a short time. No hab
itation could be found, provisions gave
out, and several dieS in the suow from
starvation and cold. Capt. Johnson -fell
from exhaustion and cold, leaving Mate
Kadger aud Seaman Dooley only alive.
These two laid down in the suow, after
ten days’ wandering to die, but were acci
dentally discovered by two men, who res
cued them and took them to the village.
Homicide in Kentucky.
Louisville, Kv., December 23 A
dispatch from Elizabethtown says the
neighborhood of Howe’s Valley, fifteen
miles from here, is a sccno of the wildest
excitement on account of a terrible trag
edy enacted there on Tuesday. David J.
Carter, an old and reputable citizen, and
Budd Harrington, also a highly respected
citizen, both farmers in good circum
stances, the former about 55 years of age
and tho latter about 35, bad a law-suit
which was heard on Tuesday. After the
hearing they quarreled, and Harrington
drew a pistol and shot Carter, the ball en
tering the mouth and coming ont of the
hack of bis neck. Young Carter, son of
tbe wounded man, ran home and returned
in a few minutes with a double-barrel
shot gun, both barrels of which tie dis
charged into tbe body of Harrington, ap
parently killing him instantly. He fell
seemingly lifeless; and lay perfectly still
where he had fallen, but old inau Carter
secured a smith’s sledge lying neai, and
deliberately crushed the bead of bis vic
tim and then (ell over him, apparently in
a dying condition.

Washington, December 23.—A tele

The Piedmont Arlington.
Richmond, Va., December 23.—
Judge Hughes, to-day, in the United
States Circuit Court, delivered an opinion
in tbe case of the insolvent Piedmont and
Arlington Life Insurance Company,of lids
city, iu the matter of appointing a receiver
as prayed for by a number of policy hold
ers. Upon the question whether or not
tho courts would allow the com
pany to appoint its own receiver,
Judge Hughes says: “I think that
the mere fact of the failure of a life
insurance company is primn fade
proof that Us operations have been
conducted in a fraudulent manuir
and fftlie failure is not explained by some
great casualty, such as a widespread -j es
tilence or sudden financial convnlsion or
physical.ealainity, I think it is, per se,
proof ot fraud. ,1 will not say that it cre
ates a presumption ot moral turpitude in
the managers of the company, but it cer
tainly does of constructive fraud—that Is
to say, of that financial imbecility or ex
travagance or recklessness, or that gross
negligence, which is equivalent in its con
sequences to fraud, amr which the court
is bound to regard os conclusive of fraud.
Would the court be justified in allow
ing the trustee appointed by such compa
ny m the very deed in which it avowed
its insolvency, to remain in custody of its
effects, and to administer them? Could
tbe court expect to attract and retain the
confidence of the public and ot its suitors,
if it should sanction such action? I think
not. The insolvency and * abnegation of
the company left; its efiects in the legal
and rightful custody of no one, and the
court must at onco provide for the emer
gency by appointing a receiver.
The Judge then announced tlie ap
pointment of A.' Z. Boulware, of Rich
mond, as receiver of the company.
It is reported that Jessie Raymond,who
tried to blackmail .Senator B. H. Hill, in

“We look with dismay upon tbe paraly
sis of tlie government in Ireland. We are

London, December 24.—It seems tbat
tlie Norwegian ship Juno, which was
seized by tlie customs authorities at the
mouth of tbo Shannon on Wednesday
last, had started from Queenstown for
New York, but was driven back into the
Shannon by stress of weather. The cus
toms authorities took charge of the vessel

wheat is in a good condition and sells
readily. The prices, of red are lower,
and tho large supply of dry foreign makes
the sale of inferior English red very diffi
cult.
1 Tho yield of tho English wheat crop of
1880 is turning out to'bo less than any of
tbe* published estimates. Oats are firmer;
foreign gram was inanimate and droop-
ing throughout the week. Everything
was cheaper. Wheat cargoes have been de-

remarked to Mr. Billings, ths Baptisl
“Good morning, Brother Billings, how
do you feel since your labor of Sunday ?”
“First rate. I bad a large audience, and
it makes me feel good toUiiuk that tbe
people are turning front tbeir wavs of
wickedness. There was a time in Little
Rock when, if a minister could group to
gether 100 people, lie was doing well,
Yesterday I had 300, which, cousideying
tbe number of our churches, is remarka
ble. I am sorry to learn that your church
is not getting along well.”
“How do you know that my church. is
not getting along well ?” asked Mr. Slinger.
“Oh, well, I hear so from authentic
sources.”
“That’s all right,” continued Mr. Slin
ger; “let that go for what it is worth. It
is, of course, inconsistent with our profes
sion to bet, but waiving for a moment tbe
requirements of our divine calling, I’ll
bet you a Bible that I bad a larger con
gregation on Sunday than you did.”
“Tlie requirements of the divine calling
shall for tho moment be waived. Not
withstanding tbe fact that I am a preach
er I remain a human being all tbe same,
aud do not propose to be bull-ragged.
Come on, and put up your Bible.”
The two preacheis weut into a book

“Well,” said Mr. Billings, “my congre
gation last Sunday numbered 300, I know
this to be a fact, for I hired the sexton to

“My congregation was 500,” remarked {
Slinger, with a confident air. j
“Did you count ’em ?” !
“No.”
“Well, how do you know ? Why. your

“That’s all right. I had a congregation
of 509.' Not a man got up and left.
There was not the slightest disturbance,

THE BOX TBICX.
How tlie Greenhorn* are Bobbed of
tbeir Honey.
Considerable amusement was created
on the corner of Dearborn and Monroe
streets yesterday afternoon by tiie antics
of a young man, who wore an air of over
confidence and great grief, as well as a
butternut suit and big boots. He stood on
the corner and poured forth hi.*, woes, at
the same time clutching frantically at five
little cardboard boxes, into which be
peeped from t me to time and then uttered
prolonged wails of agony.
Naturally a crowd soon gathered, and
when an inquisitive spectator asked him
to disclose tbe cause of his grief he did so
amid great sobs. It appears that he bad
been “taken iu and done for” to Ike tune
of five dollars on the “prize-money paste
board-box game.” This is a simple little
game, yet wonderfully successful iu catch
ing greenhorns. An individual stands
upon a street corner ana ptociaims to tbe
erowd which soon gathers that he is a
“great bonanza,” tbat bo is literally roll
ing iu wealth, and Is seeking an outlet
for It in order to benefit suffering human
ity, and tho way he docs it is this: He gets
a Jot of little pasteboard boxes, generally
seven in number, and in ono be Inserts a
small piece of a canceled revenue stamp
tbat resembles a greenback, while the
remaining boxes contain .nothing.
Tbe prepared box ho places among
the rest, aud then ho holds up to tbe
startled and surprised gaze of the lookers-
on a ten dollar bill, and though not trust
ing it far from Lis grasp, he gives them all
a chance to sec that it is genuine. “See,”
i-ays the orator, “you observe before me
those seven little boxes. Now, gentlemen,
they are all empty but (he suits tbo wonl
to tbe action) 1 shall take cue of them,
and in it 1 shall, place this ten dollar bill,
I then, gentlemen, place tbe box. back
with the remainder (and he does so), and
mix them all up, so; aud now,'gentlemen,
where once there were seven empty boxes
there are now but six empty boxes, and
one that contains Uncle Samuel’s note for
teu dollars.”
He then prooeeds to state tbat be will
allow any gentleman .to take his pick of
the seven boxes and select five, and if he
gets the one contain!ug the $10 bill he
may keep it, and all he has to pay for his
“five cbauces out of seven is a $5 bill.”
Now, this game takes remarkably well
among the gullible. As a matter of fact,
tlie $10 bill is good, but as another matter
of tact, it never goes into one of tlie little
boxes. A sleight-of-hand movement places
tbe bill up tbe operator’s sleeve, and then
in mixing up tbe boxes lie manages to
open slightly tbe one containing
tlie canceled revenue stamp, so that,
a piece of it is exposed, aud the de
sired investor in the pastboards observes
it, thinks that tbe operator neglected to
close tbe box effectively aud that the
showing is unbeknown to him, and that
here Is tlie grand chance to “coin a fiver.”
He accordingly rakes around in his cloth
ing, produces an original five, and hand
ing it to the operator, takes his five boxes,
opens them and finds tbat one contains
the canceled stamps; the other, four are
blanks. Of course a series of blanks
would be ptoper to give tbe expressions of
the duped parly in full, tbat he ba-i only
himself to blame for bis loss.—Chicago
