"A woman appeared before magis-
trate of Cincinnati lately, and desired to make
affidavit that tshe was faithful to her husband.
The magistrate at first refused to take such
strange declaration, but the woman hav-
ing assured him that it was necessary to
her happiness, he consented, to her evident
qualification. s....
The Washington Union thus pointly
expresses his notions of the criminality OF
inMr. Douglas and his minions," as it terms
his friends: :sAs the matter now stands,
far more than at any former period of history,
we maintain that failure to abide by the
laws ofthe Democratic Party is the highest
crime that Representative can commit"
1t is stated that the present years crop
of sugar in the island of 5Mauritius will not
be less than 10000 tons, being the largest
crop ever produced in that island. An a.
bundant supply of free immigrants from In
dia is the cause of this unexampled prosperity,
and all that is wanted to render the British
WestIndies equally prosperous is an equal
supply Of labor.

We learn from the Cincinnati Price
Current that contracts are being made for
hogs in Indiana and Kentucky at 4 4.25
gross, which is equal to 5-75a 6net, delivered
there. There is,said to- be very general
opinion prevailing among country dealers,
owing to the backward state ofthe corn crop,
that prices will rule higher the coming sea:
son, though packers think if prices open as
high as last year the result will be even more
disastrous.
John Nehastle, Bohemian, but one
month in this country, has beon arrested
in Chicago for killing his daughter MARIE,
FIVE years old, to save her from starvation,
fate which had overtaken a younger child a
day or two before This act would sound
strangely to the ears of those who have been
accustomed to hear that labor is "free" in all
places out of the slave States, if it were not
for the fact that these occurrences take place
80 often as to have ceased to be marvellous.
The difference in time between Trinity
Bay and Valencia Bay is about three hours
and forty:eight minutes. A dispatch was
sent from Dublin to Newfoundland, simply
saying: "It is twelve o'clock noon in Dub
lin; what hour in Newfoundland Ans
wer-"Eight o'clock in the morning." The
answer was received within an hour and |
half. Between the extreme eastern and |
western points of the United States, there
is difference of time of three hours and fifty |
minutes.
1t is generally supposed that the At
lantic cable was made entirely in England.
Such is not the case. Very many miles of
the wire were manufactured in Providence,
at factory in the upper portion of the city.
One thousand tons Of iron per day were con-
sumsd in the work, and its superiority over
that made in England is we'll understood by
the Cable company. Itis worthy of note that
no portion of the wire made in this country
parted while being laid. 1t may turn out
one of these days that more was done here
in behalf of this great enterprise than is gen.
orally known.-Boston atlas.
- The Empress Eugene, of France, has
involved herself in an unpleasant difficulty |
by pretending to be younger than she really
is. 1t appears that she was born in 1921,
which would make her now thirty-seven
years old, but she had it officially announced
on her last birthday (June ~ that she was
only thirty.two. By this statement she
should have been born June 4, 1926, but
some seekers after curious bits of family his
tory have discoved that her father died in
1928, and have been able in consequence of
her foolish vanity to cast doubt upon her
Legitimacy.
