GEORGE P. FOX
Oct 2tJan l

GEORGE p. FOX
Has arrived Mt wi1ard's Hotel, WASH
fngton, ID. e.
In the delay attending the organization OF
the House, il is a matter Of congratulation
that the members of both branches OF the Ma
tional Legislature can, without violating their
political principles, settle upon one popular can
didate for their favor Mr.. Fox, in his capacity
Tailor, representing commerce, has ever
merted and continues 10 receive the distinguished
title of Leader of Fashions of the United States.
To that laudabe distinction he has been elevated
by the unanimous sujfrages of the people He
has had the happy faculty of uniting the dssen-
tient voices in the realm OF fashion, and now
represents them in one undivided sentiment.
The House Of Representatives has been at loss
for leader for some time, but the Representa-
tive of Fashion is always organized The fashions
in The plastic hand Of art is 10 the skill Of the
artist what the dsorganized elements Of the
Representative Assembly are TO the genius Of the
orator. The one succumbs 10 the taste of the
artist, the other is subdued by the eloquence of
the orator What the latter is TO the Congress
sonal Assembly, GEORGE p. Fox is 10 the Popular
Assembly Of Fashion. We have thus far insti-
tuted parallel, but parallels only closely 10 a
certain point, thence they diverge and thus il is
with our leaders Of fashions and our leaders Of
politics. The Speaker Of Fashion (or such we
will designate our representative is never at a
loss for the right fit on the right nah, and the
right man is never at loss for the right fit when
he applies to our leader. His vote is never cast
| away, nor yet his money. Both are equally well
and safely invested. Unanimity of opinion can
not be supposed TO always exist in political as
semblies of men representing diversity of prin-
ciples, but in the realm of fashion there can be
but opinion, and that is, that there is but one
American fashion and GEO. z. Fox is its leader

MURDER OF AN EDlToR.--The Kosciusko
Miss Chronicle of February 23d contains the
particulars of the deliberate murder of its editor
and proprietor, Charles S. Loundsbury, on the
previous Tuesday evening, by one Richard w.
Payne.
Irappears that Loundsbury and Payne had
previously had quarrel, during which the
latter was slightly wounded with dirk. On
the evening of the murder, Payne came to
Kosciusko, armed with double barrelled shot
gun, and also equipped for rapid fight.
He shot Loundsbury as the latter was going
from the Office to his hotel, putting seventy
three shot in the right side OF his victim, who
expired in great agony about thirty minutes
afterwards. Payne fed and has not been
heard of since

The Ericsson,s Prize.

The London Globe Of Feb. Is, has the follow
ing:
Yesterday, about the middle of the day, a
large paddle-wheel steamer, with the American
flag flying, was espied coming up Southampton
Water, having in tow large vessel, apparently
Dutch. As no American steamer was due,
some surprise was manifested, She was soon,
however, made out by her three tunnels to be
the Ericsson, 1.-THE steamer on which the famous
experiment was made in the United States of
propeling ship by hot air. 1t appeared the
Ericsson was bound from New York to Havre.
About 100 miles beyond the Scilly Isles, in lat.
40 81 n, Ion 81 W., she fell in with Dutch
brig, with her masts and rigging seriously
damaged, and with signal of distress flying.
The captain of the Ericsson resolved upon at
tempting to tow her into some English port so
= Is to save the ship and cargo-a very valuable
one. The name Of the brig is Maria Anna,
and her commanders name is Diut. She was
bound from London to Smyrna, three weeks
out, and laden with wines, spirits, cables and
anchors. The ship and cargo are said to be
worth nearly 100000. The Ericsson left
Southampton for Havana last night.

A most painful excitement was caused at
Dingwall, Rosshire, Scotland, last month, by
the report that three gentlemen had been pois-
oned, which report unhappily proved too true.
1t appears that John McIver, esq, Provost of
Dingwall, had private dinner party, consist
ing of Lewis NJ Mackenzie, of Findon; the
Rev. Messrs. Mackenzie, of Eskdale, and Cor
don, of Beauty, Roman Catholic priests; John
Macdonald, esq, of Torridon and shortly
after dinner the whole of the party fell sick,
and before medical assistance could be brought,
the Rev. Mr.. Mackenzie, and the Rev. Mr..
Gordon, and Mr.. Mackenzie, of Finion, had
expired Mr.. MacIyer and Mr. Mcdonald
gradually recovered. From what has trans
pired, it appears that the cook sent the maid
servant to the garden for some radish for the
roast beef, and he, through mistake, took
monkshood root TO her, and this formed the
sauce for the beef 1t is now thought all the
parties who have died, as well as Mr.. McIver
and Mr.. Mcdonald, ate more or less of the
beef; that the deadly poison was in the sauce,
and that the awful disaster hence originated.
The coroner's inquest had not yet taken place.
The two clergymen were highly respected by
their own people, and Mr.. Mackenzie, of Fin
don, from his suavity of manners and inteli-
gence, had he been spared, would have occu-
pied conspicuous and useful position. He
will be succeeded in his property by young
brother, now in the army in the Crimea.

that carbonate of soda will be found remedy
for the evil. Cut your steaks, the day before,
into slices two inches thick, rub them over with
a small quantity of soda, wash off next morn

HsS~ The latest fish story we have met with
is contained in the Sandusky Register of Mon
day, 18th. 1t is a cold one:
Between Sandy Island and the peninsula the
water is shallow, not exceeding four feet in
depth. While cutting holes in this place for
the purpose of letting down their seines, the
fishermen found ice to the thickness of three
feet and half reaching within few in
inches of the bottom of the channel. When
the nets were drawn up, they we're found to be
we'll filled with fish, all frozen stiff. That in
of water, SO that even the fish could not live
in it. More than twenty bushels of these dead
fish were taken out, when the workmen changed
their ground for another furnishing greater
depth of water.

The population Of Rome according to the
census Of 1855, just taken, is III, 46l, being a
falling off Of near 1000 since the previous com
putation. In 1854 there were 6,024 deaths,
and last year 1881. The population has pre-
served nearly the same average for many years.
The tables show 300 churches Ga monasteries,
and so nunneries; SO bishops; the secular
clergy, 1926; monks and other members Of
religious societies, 1885, nuns, l,00l; pupils !;
intended for holy orders, Ala; Jews, 10000;
families, 1884. The trade in the fine arts
was not as prosperous last year as usual. The
pictures and sculpture exported are estimated
in the custom house reports at $244,075, Of
which Sl4,ll4 only were old works of art.
The paintings amounted to $ll7,725, and the
sculptures to $l26,347. This is a considerable
falling of from previous year during the last
quarter Of a century. At the same time, the
statistics show that crime is on the increase,
since there we're IL, 006 arrests during tee year.
being thousand over number of any previous
year in this ponti6cate. The treasury reports
shows deficit Of a MILAN in budget Of Sl2,
100000.
MILTON AND NAPOLEON in his
life Of Milton, says that Napoleon Bonaparte
declared to Sir John Colin Campbell, who had
charge OF his person on the Isle Of Elba, that
ne was great admirer OF Miltons X aradlse
Lost" and that he had read it to some purpose,
for that the plan Of the battle Of Austerlitz he
borrowed from the sixth book Of that work, in
which Satan brings his artillery to bear upon
Michael and his angelic host with such dreful
effect:
Training his devilish enginery, unpaid
On every side with shadowing squadrons deep,
To hide the fraud"
The new mode of warfare appeared to Bona
parte so likely to succeed, if applied to actual
use, that he determined upon its adoption, and
it succeeded beyond his expectation. A refer
ence to the details Of that battle is found tc
assimilate so completely with Millions imagi
nary fight as to leave no doubt whatever Of
the assertion.

Has Black Republican n Right TO Cele-
brate WashIngton's Birthday.

Drate WashlnStOhs birthdnys
We doubt very much whether this species of
humbug has right to commemorate day
made sacred by the birth of the Father of his
country. A fusionist has no sympathy with
that spirit Of compromise in which the Consti-
tuition of his country had origin; and we look
upon it as out Of keeping for such men as
Codding and his followers in this State, and
the like stamp in other States, TO play the
hypocrite SO far as to become patriotic on the
ever-memorable twenty-second. We think it
perfectly right that they should be rebuked
when they thus attempt to make farce of the
day.
Gov. Chase, of Ohio, alias General Chase,
met with very delicate hint at the celebration
at Cincinnati, that he was thought to be out of
place in the banquet by passing him by in
silence. No one noticed him and he left for
his military headquarters at Columbus, highly
indignant, thinking that the great State Of
Ohio had been insulted, because her Abolition
Governor was not called out. Such an occa-
sion was no place for him to feel at home. He
ought to have had discretion enough to have
kept away from national demonstration of the
kind. The atmosphere was not dark and
heavy enough for him.-Bloomington Flag.
