INTERESTING SCRAP OF HIsToRY -
Maryland Honor.-It having been re-
ported that Washington was named as
Commander of our armies by Thomas
johnson, of Maryland, writer in the
National Intelligencer appropriately says:
/" 1t becomes now not an uninteresting
question who was MIR. Thomas johnson,
of Maryland"
So far as the writer of this can trace
him he was an early friend of Washing
ton, perhaps from association in the
Frauco-Indian war of 1754-'63. Lord
Sterling, in TIT, calls him General
johnson. He was an eminent lawyer
and ardent patriot; resided on the
" Western Shore" He was a member
of the first Continental Congress of 1774,
and continued member, under several
renewals of appointments, until early in
IVY, when he disappeared, to become
Governor of Maryland, during the most
trying times of the Revolution. He was
u jealous co-worker with Washington in
1884 in his project of uniting the Poto-
mac with the Western waters, and was
among the. earliest to urge the Pater
iatri9 to become the first President of
the United States. He was q member
of the Maryland Convention, in 1888,
which ratifend the Constitution. In
1889 he was nominated and confirmed
to be the frst district Judge of the U. S.
for Maryland, but declined. In 1901
he was appointed an Associate Justice Of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
vice John Rutlodge, of South Carolina,
resigned, which he also resigned in Feb
ruary, 1893; and in 1895, upon the
Resignation of Edmund Randolph of the
office of Secretary of State, President
Washington invited him to that impor-
tant post but he declined its acceptance
on the ground of age and inirmity.
The learned Professor r. III. Lee, Of
Washington, Pa, in his memoirs of his
grandfather, Richard Henry Lee, says Of
Mr.. johnson, (vol., p. III note: y
He was one Of the ablest men in the
old Congress- There did not live in
those times which tried mems souls a
purer patriot or a more efficient citizen.
Under his Goycrnorship Maryland was
distinguished for her devotion to the COM
mon cause, On one occasion, when
Gen. Washington was retreating through
the Jerseys, he raised a large body Of
Maryland militia, and marched at their
head to his camp and was received with
the most marked respect"
Such was the man who moved the ap.
pointment of George Washington to be
General-in- Chief of the Army of Lib.
erty."

EFFECTS OF THE FLOOD ON THE CRops.
The st. Louis Democrat thinks that the
danger of material diminution of the
grain crop of the West in consequence of
the recent freshets and overaows is being
much overrated. 1t says:
In 1851 there was precisely such q
food as now prevails-not subsiding till
the 1st of July-and yet the receipts Of
corn and wheat at st. Louis in that year
were fully up to the average during the
five years from 1919 to 1858.

ARREST OF MURDEREss IN CHICAGO.
"A woman about thirty six years of
age, named Caroline Frederick Katrina
Schwartz, was arrested in Chicago on
Wednesday upon the charge laid in Buff
falo, of poisoning man with whom she
was living as wife: She is woman
of good education, and appears to pos
sess history tinctured not little with
romance. She states that her father
possessed the military rank of Major
General under the Dukgcf Baden-Ba-
den, that for four years sffe rode by his
side, arrayed in the warlike habiliments
of the other sex, in which unwomanly
character she visited Russia, and A HERS,
and terminated her career of 81 by
getting married and coming Fherica
some ten years ago. She lived with her
husband Schwartz, near Dansville, N.
Y, seven years, when woman from
Europe, With three children. made her
appearance, and set up prior claim to
the husband. The claim appeared to be
well-founded, Coroline leftim, went to
New York, and made encouragement Of
convenience with another man, with
whom she started for Chicago. At Buff
falo, it is alleged, She poisoned him to
obtain 5000 in money which he .sI5sll
with him. She will be sent back as
soon as possible.

NATIONAL DEBT.-On the LIST of Ju-
ly next the debt of the United States will
amount 10 about $65, 000, 900, including
the loan of $50, 900, 900 recently author
lied by Congress. Taking into consid-
Grafton the present state of the treasury,
and the probable extent of receipts du-
ring the ensuing year, it is improbable
that any payments will be made until
after the next fiscal year, ending July,
1859. In the meantime, however, the
peaceful termination of the Mormon i'm
broglio, and the probable amicablc adj
justment Of the difficulties with England,
will save the country very large cx-
penditure, the necessity of which was
apprehended up till nearly the close of
the recent session of Congress. Star.

The EXPLOSION OF THE ECLIPSE On
Sunday evening at five O'clock, when
ten miles below Natchez. the steamer
Elipse, Captain Harry l. Spots, had the
misfortune to explode one of her heaters,
which resulted in the death oftwo cabin
passengers and the slight scalding of two
deck hands. The persons killed were
W. Perpegnan, of st. Louis, and Charles
Vosburg, of Vicksburg. They were, at
the time of the accident, asleep in the
same state-room, which was situated d.
rectly above the heater. They were
smothered by the steam, which forced
itself up into their state-room, and ex-
pired almost instantly. When found
they were lying dead in their berths.-
The two deck hands that were scalded
received only slight injuries. We con-
versed with several of the passengers on
the boat, and they all concurred in the
opinion that no blame whatever could
attach to the officers on account of the
accident, it having been caused by de-
feet in the heater of which they could
not have been cognizant.
The body of Mr.. Vosburg was left at
Vicksburg, and that of Mr. Perpegnan
was carried on to st. Louis. Memphis

DELIBERATE MURDER.-The wife of
Jas. II. johnson died in Washington,
Rappabannock county, Va, on Tuesday
last, from poison administered by her
husband. A correspondent of the AL
exandria Gazette says:
She was persuaded by her husband to
drink glass of lemonade which he had
prepared for her. She tasted it and told
him that it was bitter. He then told
her that he had put alloes in it, and that
it was good for her health. She drank
it; after which he mounted his horse
and rode of. In short time after his
departure, her shrieks attracted the at
tention Of persons in the noighborhood,
who repaired to the spot, but it was too
latc-the fatal draught had performed
its work. The verdict Of the jury was
that "the deceased came to her death by
poison administered by her husband -
johnson was arrested on Saturday, and
lodged in Rappahannock Jail. johnson
was a respectable man, in easy circum-
stances | think before this reaches you
Lynch law will be put in execution. -
