Birmingham Chronicle: Twelve months ago Major James Spence, then of Selma, Alabama, now <!. his city, visited Birmingham for the purpose of investing in real estate. He spent ten days in looking and pricing property and finally came to the conclusion th it property was too high and he i-jtumed to his home in .Selma without making a purchase. He, however, remained at nome but a short time before he again returned to Birmingham, and -pent several days in looking st and pricing prop ei y, he fl j lly selected a small plat of ground that filled his eye. After wrestling wl’h Dr. Caidwell for some time they finally agreed upon the price, $5,500, and the trade was made, but rather under a protest so far as M jor Spence was concerned. The property was under a lease and has been paying M ijor Spence one hun dred dollars a month ever since he bought it, which was on tbe s'h of March, 1883. Thirty days ago Major Spence priced this property at $20,000. Twenty days ago he asked $24,000. five days ago he said he would take $27,375; yesterday he priced this same droperty to a man from New York city at $30,030. The New Yorker offered him $28,000, and they finally split the difference, and Major Spence soi l hie property for $29,000 cash. Counting the nett, profit on the sale, and then add $1,200 rents collected, and you have the snug sum of $24,700 clear profit otfthis transaction. California has long had a little trade with Russian Asia. Smail con signments of supplies are s. nt every spring to Petropaulowski, Nielaefski and the Amour river.

The Duchess of Edinburgh, when in the cage of the House cf Commons the other night, finding things dull, and having often beard of the inspi riting effect of the interposition of the Irish members, expressed a desire to hear Mr. Healy speak.

I wouldn’t have given a diltar ahead for that herd, but the cowboy sourred up his mustang, made a little uetour, came in right in front of the herd, cut across their paths at a right angie, am) then galloped leisurely on to the edge of that bluff, baited and looked aiound at that wild mt of beef coming right toward him.

The Chicago Inter Ocean publishes an in’ervi *w with an unnamed detec tive, woo cl.lime th <t in the summer and fall of Chief of P Jiee Mc- Garigle, of Chicago, and two or three detectives held negotiations with tne notorious “crook,” JLr'wisC Swe gein, then nerving a term fo r robbery in the Cuester, DI., penitentiary under an assumed name. Sweigels, who was known to be a professional grave r >bb r, and was concerned in the atremot to rob the giav of Pf'slden Lincoln, told a very complete, circumstantial and consistent story of the robberv of A. T. Stewart’s grave by himself, Luiv Gavin and a m n named C.ff r, keep ing a saloon in Fourteen'h street. New York. Sweigois promised to re store toe body only on condition of his pardon from ths penitentiary and receiving a part of the reward. His pardon wrs secured, and, a< cording to the detective’s story, a syndicate with a cap) al of slo,o' ) was formed, whi h included McGa’ i gle, Detectives Ouapm and Lansing and E J. Lohman, all of Chicago, tor the purpose of working up the case and securing the reward of $103,1 i 0 offered bv Judge Hilton for the re turn of Mr. B’ewarr.’s remains; t.ha two or three visi's were made ' a New York, and that negotiations were conducted through Mrs. Johnson, a female det' Hive of New York, and at one time connected with the Chicago force; that Inspector Byrnes, of New York, became offended because ne was not consulted after the first visit; that the remains were finally returned uoon rhe payment of $25,CC3 by Judge H ltou, as an evidence of which Sweighs had plenty of money about that time. In ervieww w h McGarigle and the detectives are also published. They deny the forma ion of a syndicate to work on the case. McGarigle admits the general details of the story, in cluding Sweigel ’ pardon and the subsequent negotiations io New York, but says that they fina'ly be came disgusted with Sweigies because he trifled with them, claiming that the daugh'er -f the expressman who carried the remains to the plao where they were buried instigated her father to secretly remove them to another spot unknown to Sweigies. The latter claimed that he had been intimate with this woman, but could obtain no information from her as to the whereabouts of the body. McGar igle Says he became convinced that this was merely a trick f Sweigies’ to secure a pardon, and the negotia tions were broken off before the re mains were returned, and never re sumed. TH 3 GREATEST OF SUNS. NEW POINTS ABOUT SIRIUS, BY THE BIDE OF WHICH OLD SOL IS AN UNSNUFFED CANDLE. Chicago Times, Messrs. Hough and Burnham, of the D arborn Observatory, have been engaged lately in micrometrical measurements of the companion of Biiius, the brightest star by far in rhe whole heavens. The distance of t3irius from the earth is estima'ed to be 1.375,000 times greater than the distance ot the sun, or about 123 750,- C00.0U0.000 miles. Or, to measure its distance another wav, its light, trav eling at the rate of 180,600 miles per second, would be more man tweuty one ye. re in reschiug tne earth. In other words still, the astronomer who turns his telescope now ,m that star sees it as it was more than a score of years ago. The dimensions of the star must be enormous, even as com pared with our sun, for it is quite twice the brilliancy ot any or its companions, while our sun at. that distance would probably appear like a star ot the fourth magnitude. Tne discovery of the companion of Sirius w-s made by the Chicago iu strument; not, however, by any of our local astronomers. Mr. Clark, the maker ot the telescope, mounted it temporarily for trial at Cambridge, and, turning it upon Sirius, was amaz-d and delighted to find a little star ot the tenth magnitude, which it nad been suspected must be near that great luminary. According to Mr. Burnnam, who for several years has kept waten of tnispair, the compan ion moves in position angle between three and five degrees a year, and ap proaches the piimary about three or four-ienths ot a second for that per iod. It wiil soon, he says, be so n. ar its.primary as to escape observation, by reason ot the great brilliancy ot the blighter stars. Indeed, it is ow ing to the brightness of Sirius that astronomers failed tor so long a time co discover the companion, the lat ter being within tne powers ot a small telescope were it nor so close to a brilliant luminary. Sirius is the bright star seen nearly <lu< south sod -bout thirty degre-s irom the orizon just after nigntfall. It is to the left of the conspicuous constellation Orion and lower down.

NORCROSS THROWS A SHELL NEW PHASE OF REPUBLICANISM IN GSORGIA ITS TENDENCY, Atlanta, April 10.—A half dozen of whig republicans met this morning to conclude the business of the session. A number of letters were read from prominent republicans over the state expressing sympathy for the move ment. It appeared that the hand writing of these gentlemen differed little from the handwriting of other statesmen in ite hieroglyphic char acter, and the secretary was finally compelled to suspend the reading, owing to bis inability to decipher the lines. Mr. Jonathan Norcross, at this juncture of the proceedings, threw a shell into the ranks of the brethren by offering a resolution calling a state convention of the colored voters, in sympathy with them, to meet in Atlanta May Ist to confer and co operate with the whig republican convention on the question of sending a delegation to Chicago, and for the transaction of such other business as might seem proper to them. This resolution failed to meet the approval of the chairman and other members of the meeting, and was forthwith smothered by referring it and ail other unfinished business to the executive committee. Chairman Markham then read an address setting forth his views of the movement, after which the meeting adjourned sine die, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN GEORGIA. The republican convention held yesterday, i’s membership and pro ceedings, indicate a new order of things in the party in this state. Not that it will be less corrupt, or that its methods differ from tne old, but it has assumed a complexion which may mean much to the people. The white republicans, native Georgians, who have heretofore given the party in Georgia the little respectability and decency It had, disgusted with its methods, sick of the domination of the negro element, and of a few white tricksters, foreign to the soil, who still linger to remind us of the odious “ carpet-bag and scallawag ” era, have quit the party. Thus the colored vote of the state is left in the hands of such men as Bryant, Buck, Farrow, Locke, and that ilk. What the direction of their leadership will be, and what it means, may be assumed from the harangues of J. E. Bryant before the convention yes terday. in which his toadyism to the negro, his encouragement of social equality, his trade against the decent white republicans who would not affiliate with him or cringe to his lash. This species of demagogery was strongly condemed last night by some of the better class of white men whose fortunes are still cast with that crew. And so General Longstreet is to be thrust out of office to give place to J. E. Bryant. It is unfortunate that the colored citizens of Georgia have fallen into such hands, and it is to be hoped that when their eves are opened, when they find out what tools they are to be made, and how they are being used, they will have the good sense and the wisdom to repudiate such leadership.

Once that terrible disease, Rheumatism, was supposed to be a shifting, local ailment, now attacking the joints and now the muscles.
