ticket Ia considered sure.
Gen. Grant has Investigated the
stories OF cruelty at the Dry Tortugas,
and finds them false. They originated
with Grenfels, the Chicago consplrator,
who abuses the confidence OF the officers
who have him in charge to Islander
them in his letters.
Among the candidates selected by
the President for appointment to the
naval academy at Annapolis as midship-
men at large, are John Downes OF Mas
sach usetts, son OF the late Commander
John Downes, and William A. Durk-
hurst of New Hampshire.
The japanese commissioners have
had an interview with Secretary Welles,
and made known their wish to purchase
for their government light draft steam
ers, machinery and arms. Some OF the
commissioners are making extensive
purchases OF various useful articles at
the stores in Washington. The commits
sioners will visit the naval school at
Annapolis to-day.

SENATORS DoOLITTLE AND DIxoN.-A
Washington correspondent gives the
following description of Senators Doc
little of Wisconsin and Dixon of Con-
nectlcut;
wonder whether Mr.. Doolittle, be.
fore he left the party with which he
had stood in youth and manhood, and
attached himself to the crumbling for
tunes Of Andrew Johnson, used to look
as surly, as ugly, as defiant as he does
now. Certainly one can seem to trace
in his bearing and the expression OF his
not naturally ill-favOred face the whole
history Of disappointment and despair
which is the record of the unlucky at
tempt to found q Presidents party in
1855, if not also the more humiliating
suspicious of corruption in connection
with the New York custom house frauds.
Mr.. Doolittle never speaks now, bnt
sits quite steadily in his seat, as If de-
terroined to assert his possession of it
in the face of the constituents who have
asked him to resign. Perhaps it is on
" fapciful to think that he speaks to
few and few speak to him; but certain
" he has an air Of unsociability, of
standing repellant on his own dignity,
| which few would care to penetrate.
Very different is the demeanor Of Mr..
Dixon Of Connecticut, who looks a per-
petual apology for his own weakness,
and seems ready to conciliste everybody
as in the unhappiest hour Of his politi-
cal life he was to conciliate the enemies
of his country by abandoning every
| principle which had actuated himself or
his friends. He feebly accepts the polit-
ical humiliation against which Mr..
Doolittle so dercely revolts-that is,
sitting in his chair and besming mildly
through his spectacles, with an express
sion made up half of timidity and half
Of appeal to sympathy, his thin hair
brushed over, but not covering his bald
ness he looks as if he accepted it, and
recognized the rebuke which the people
of the North have given to him and his
fellows.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1867-05-16

There are here two large, airy apart
ments, built of light and ornate wood
work, on either side OF the circular COR
ridor around which you are passing.
Over the entrance TO each, Is an elabor-
ately carved coat.ot-arms OF the city OF
Lyons, and Its name, In large gilt let
tiers, below; and upon entering on either
side, you are fairly dazzled by the su-
perb display OF silk fabrics OF every hue,
quality, and kind, which meets your
view. The compartments are continu-
ally filled with ladies, who every mo-
ment utter EXPLANATIONS of surprise and
delight at the wealth OF material which
they see on every hand. The silks are
80 arranged as to show their exquisite
gloss and coloring to the best advan-
tage. They are looped In long festoons,
gathered in rings and circles 80 rs to re-
semble hugh wheels of silk, draped In
all sorts of figures, and hung from
nearly the top of the corridor, sweeping
down and resting at the bottom of the
cases.
All the principal factories are repre-
sented, and more space has been given TO
them in which to exhibit, from the SYM
patty with which the government views
the recent sufferings OF artisans employed
at the silk factories OF Lyons. Those
who think they have seen magnificent
silks, will find out their mistake when
they look upon this display. After the
silk department comes that OF the vel
vets, and here again there is complete
ness, endless variety, and the richest
profusion and commingling of colors.
Then follow lace dresses and shawls,
lace rufrels and collars, from all those
lace manufactures which are noted for
their excellence in this species Of dress.
There are, following these, tapestries OF
elaborate weaving, chiefly representing
Scriptural scenes and places, some of
them ancient and bearing evidence Of
much dust, Others very extensive,
reaching nearly from the ceiling to the
ground.
The vestments OF the holy orders form
a considerable part in this corridor, as
Is natural in country both Catholic
and fond of ostentatlon. Here you will
find all degrees OF priestly paraphernalis,
from the gold laced purple and rare
laces which decorate the cardinals
dignity, down to the plain red and white
OF the country curate. Some of these
dresses are superb, and fairly dazzle you
with their profusian of gold and silver /;
there Is one large collar which sparkles
with many large jewels.

A Practical JoKB.-Old Nose T. was
formerly well.known in Windsor Coun-
ty, particularly to the vendors Of ardent
spirits. he was born before the first
temperance society was organized and
said that water always soured in his
stomach. For some trivial offepse he
was arrested by constable whose opin-
ion Of exhilirating liquors exactly coin
cided with his own, and on the way to
the county jail they stopped at every
tavern they found. The consequence
was that when they arrived at their des-
tination the constable was in q drunken
stupor, while the prisoner was compar-
atively sober. His plan had been ma
tured on the way and he lost no time in
handing the officer over to the jailor.
After seeing him securely locked up, he
jumped into the buggy and made the
best OF his way back to the point of de-
parture, there to relate his exploit. The
poor constable returned next day very
much discounted, and never attempted
again to take Nose to Jail alone.-Recora.
