HARD UP FOR NRws.--The New York Sunday
Mercury feels keenly the dearth Of exciting and
interesting news in these dull, piping times OF
peace" In this dllem ma IL has resoI ted to an
ingenious device for filling up the blanks In It's
columns, beir g nothing more nor less than the
publication OF a batch of bachelors once q week.
All the hooks and corners OF thlsWestern Hemi-
sphere are ransacked in this laudable effort to
entertain, IL not instruct its readers and in the
issue of the current week we find lengthy in-
slalment OF such Philadelphians as have not
come to grief al the hymeneal altar. Bache-
with mankind, although 10 must be-
acknowledged that II is rather unfair to the fair
have not yet ''gone and went and done it,"
embraces several curious specimens OF human
lty. Thus one Is described as being "a nobby
young man; very gay; has plenty of pastime,
which he spends in playing bass ball, and dirt
the sake OF the temperance cause we hope he
may soon be married.
Another victim OF single blessedness is said to
be another gay buck, who dresses well; favor
lie with every body; a strong Democrat, and
great admirer of the ladies; takes his beer oc-
caslonally and has no objections to anything
Another, who has the strength Of "a modern
Hercules, is turner by trade; always invent
ing some new machinery, which never works
20 suit him; is a splendid dancer; attends to
al OF Buzzari,s parties; active member of the
sWeety."
sill another is, unfortunately, "rather con-
ceited; thinks he Is splendid singer, in which
he is mistaken is very fond of the ladies; but.
not being successful on the east side OF the
Schuylkill, has concluded to cross over"
Another "loves his lager, and can tell the diff
ference between good and bad whisky" Happy
man
AT the end of the list we find one of ournal-
istic tendencies, who is "rather pTepossessing in
appearance, thoroughly devoted to music, and
is an A l ear performer on the piano; pretty
hard to beat in the ballroom; open for an en-
gagement; Is very at entive and polite to the
ladies; prospects tiatterink; a capital fellow"
When the Mercury gets at the end OF it's list
of bachelors we snail expect to see in iJs
columns an enumeration Of the precise number
Of wrinkles in the face of every old maid in
Christendom, but we beg of 1T to omit Philadel-
phia from the catalogue. We are afflicted with
local pride.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.
Our AsiRtic Squadron.
Rear Admiral Bell, commanding the Asiatic
Squadron, in a letter TO the Navy Department,
dated at Hong Kong, September 20, states that
the United States steamship Wachusett sailed
from that port on the 18th, and the Wyoming
on the 10th, for the United States.
Lieutenant Commander Giraud, of the United
States steamship Onward, reports to the Navy
Department her safe arrival at Angler Java,
en- route for Japan, on septem5er goth, in good
condition..
The Onward was to sail for Nagasaki, Japan,
on the next day.
The Counterfeit 30 Bonds.
From information received at the Treasury
Department, there is reason to believe that In
few days full particulars relating to the coun-
terfeitiDg of the seven-thirty bonds will be
given to the public, as the detectives have dis
covered the plans and arrangements of the
counterfeiters, and have taken measures to
secure the principal parties. The couuterfeits
have Ientirely disappeared from the money cen
tres, and not one now remains in the Treasury,
all having been redeemed by those presenting
them.
General Grants Position.
Colonel Hillyer, late of General Grants staff,
but now an Internal Revenue officer in New
York, is understood to be the reliable gentle
man mentioned in kilograms from here, as hav-
ing seen the testimony given by Grant before
the Impeachment Committee, and that said
testimony was strongly conservative. 1t is also
asserted that Hillyer was present at an inter-
view between the President and General Grant
some time since, in which certain OF the con-
servatives pretend that Grant advised the
President TO take the course he did upon
the reconstruction question. All these
stories must be received with many grains of
allowance, as the Democrats and conservatives
here are determined to kill off Grant if they can,
even by resorting TO falsehood and misrepresen-
tation. But, as regards Hillyer few Republicans
here take stock in any of his statements, indi-
eating Grants political sentiments, as Hillyer is
understood to be cooperating with the conser-
vatives. A prominent member of Grants staff
remarked this morning that Grant stood upon
the same ground now that he died when he wrote
letter to gentleman of Indiana, some time
since, in which he expressly stated that no one
was authorized TO speak for him on political
subjects.

The excitement caused in Spring
field by the late case of trichine, is
shown in an incident related of a CO.
lored boy, who had been canvassing
the city for the relief of his destitute
brethren in the South. Somebody
gave him some hams, but he was
afraid they were diseased. So, after
laborious cogitation, he hit upon q
bright expedient; he would give one
of the hams to an Irishman, and if it
proved fatal, he would then throw
away the rest.

In the Senate, Mr.. Trumbuil, from
the Judiciary Committee, introduced
o bill on reconstruction.
The Senate, by vote of SO to s,
refused to take up the joint resolu-
ton, thanking Generals Sheridan.
Sickles, Schofield and Pope. Mr..
Grimes thought it would be very
premature to pass these resolutions
at this time. They were not suf1i-
ciently informed of the merits of the
case, to be able to judge; formerly
the thanks of Congress were only
rendered on extraordinary occasions,
and it was considered great compli-
ment to any one to receive them; but
II this kind of precedent was to be
established, they would next be ten
derlng thanks to the governors of
the territories and to the governors
OF our new Russian possessions.
Several other Intellectual efforts to
introduce general legislation failed,
when the Senate adjourned.
The following is section second of
the bill reported by the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee:
