INTERESTING FACTS.
FACTS NO. l.

FACTS NO. /.
Tn the city election in Washington
CITY the soldiers all voted squarely
against the Grant ticket.
That ticket was headed, like the Re-
publican ticketin G onnecticutlastA April,
witha picture of Gen. Grant. The sol
diers vote against that ticket, every time.
This is an interesting fact.
FACT NO. 2.
The Republican party went into the
Washington election backed by ma
iority of $500. That majority is de-
stroved, at one blow, at the first election
after Gen. Grants name had been raised
as their standard-bearer.
This is another interesting fact.
FACT NO. 8.
Most of the Republicans who voted
the ticket headed by Grant, were ne
oroes. A thousand or more OF these ne
p.roes had been brought into the city
from regions farther South, by the agen-
CIV of the Freedmen's Bureau, during
the fifteen days preceding the election,
and ueye aUo,ped TO tote. These import
ed negroes, and the negroes living in
the city, made up nearly the whole
strength of the Grant party.
This is another interesting fact.
FACT NO. 4.
Notwithstanding the large and lille
cal negro vote, the Democrats carried
the city, wiping out the $500 minority
and etfecting a Democratic majority OF
$50. And then, further count was
had By the Radical Boards of Election
in accordance with the well known
custom of that party when in tight
place"-and the Radical nominee toI
Mayor is declared to be elected by 81
or 81 majority, if not both. But now
new difficulty confronts them. Con
gress. some two years ago. took away
pretty much all the power from the
Mayor-which officer was NJ that tins
a Democrat-and put ii into the hands
of the Radical City Council. This al
worked to suit them so long "a the,
held the Councils; but now the Demo
erats have the majority in that branch
Soft is proposed to hrolc ont the soldiers
o0ses entirely, which invalidatc the cleo
ton Of enough Democratic Councilmet
10 throw that branch Of the city GOV
crnment into Radical hands
Reader, what must BIC the prospect
t3r such a party!

SPEECH MAKrNa,-As much merriment
is being made BY Democratic paper.
over the short speech making by Gen.
Grant, it may DO we'll to call attention
to tho fact that the most pure and able
men of the nation have failed in this
quality. The Dramatic Chronicle noting
this truth, uses this language:
Irving tells US that when tho Virgi.
mia Legislature had voted a sword to
Washington, and had delegated the du.
ty Of formally presenting II to Mr..
Robinson, the President of the House Of
Burgosses; aud whom Robinson had pro.
sented it in n neat speech, the General
got up to reply In such u state oil trepi.
dation that he couldn't stammer out n
word. The Father of bis Country was
so embarrassed and taken aback that be
flushed up to the very roots of his hair,
and his embarrassment was 10 painful
that Robinson came gracefully to his
relief and said: "Sit down, General.
Your valor is only equnled by your
modesty, and no words a do justice
to either" So Washington took his
sword and sat down, OF red in the face
ns a tu~rkey-cock. Now Grant seems to
be rs weak in tho speech making line as
Washington. It is said that be can
talk "horse'' most eloquently, But We
don't want o President who can only
talk horse. We want an eloquent man,
with plenty Of good words at command
who can talk al fuently as Polk, or
Pierce, or Andy johnson, or General
Howard, or Major 3. ]. O. Kewen, or

PROPOSITION TO INCREASE II SALARY
OF THE PRINCE OF WALEs.-There is q
plan on foot to apply to Parliament to
double the wages Of the Prince of Wales.
The British taxpayer contributes ut pre-.
sent tho pretty sum of 100000 q year
to the maintenance Of his King that is
to be-. What are called tho private
revenues of the Prince amount to m
other ESQ 900, and his actual cash in
come is n round $500, 900 yearly. On
the pretense that 1t is desirable that his
royal highness should set up on cstab-
lishment in Ireland, Parliament is to be
asked to give him another $500 n
year. A respectable public sentiment
ia favor Of the gift has already been
created. Perhaps Parliament might d.
vert the revenue Of the Irish Church,
presently to DO d%isendowed, to this pious
use. Meanwhile, to convince the nation
that hc is in want of money, the Prince
has bought q house In Pail Mall for
Els, 900, which he is going to turn into
a Club. There is no want Of Clubs In
London; the number is 46, believe;
but the untitled want which tho Prince
desires to supply is a Bowling Club,
and alleys nre to DO built on the Ameri-
can plan. To this new circle no men,
Der will be admitted except on invita-
ton. The number will DO $50; en-
trance, 100 guincas; yearly subscrip.
ton, 30 guiness. AS the Prince is said
to owe to a great variety Of creditors
more pounds than he yearly receives,
and as he could only have bought this
Clubhouse In the sense Of promising to
pay for it, there is every reason why
Parliament should come promptly to
tho rescue Of his distressed finances.
What is the use of being a Prince If you
can't have your debts paid by tho
public?

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY IN A CEMETERY.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY IN A CEMETERY.
Burglars recently attempted TO burglar
ize the vault wherein repose the re.
mains Of Mrs. Catharine Hamilton, in
the rural cemetery. 1t appears that
some few mornings ago workmen dis
covered the door of this vault partly
open; the lock had been blown or cut
off with q chisel, and an attempt had
been made to pry open the door, which
was partly successful. Tho door con-
sists of one solid piece of stone, above
eight inches thick. Inside Of this door
the vault had been walled up by ma
sonry, and n hole largo enough to admit
q small sized man had been made in the
wall; but it would seem that having
proceeded so far in their work, the bur
glars had desistsd, becoming either
alarmed or scared as the coffin contain
ing tho remains had not been disturbed.
The remains were encased in three cof-
fms, first o mahogany, then a leaden
one, aud lastly n Of stone, which is Of
immense weight, and requires the
strength of seven men to remove the lid.
Mrs. Hamilton died iu ls47, and ex-
pended so much money on tho vault
that a story became circulated that
treasure was buried with her. The fact
that she requested the kcy-hole Of the
door of the vault to DO filled up with
lead and the key thrown into the river
the former of which was done, but
tho latter not-added some color oil
truth to the story. It was %unfoundcd,
however, rs we are informed on reliable
authority that nothing in tho shape Of
valuables WAS buried with her.-ABany

THE "SUN DRw.''-L. A. Millington,
in tho american Naturalist for April calls
the attention of Botanists to n little
plant, the Droserd rotmdlotia, or sun
dew, which not only catches flies, but
eats them. It's tiny leaves hayo red
glandular hairs, each tipped with n
drop Of glutinous liquid. Amy small
insect which touches this is lost. Its
struggles only farther entangle it. All
the hairs then begin to move slowly to-
wards it; and in a few hours touch and
cover it with their glue. Mr.. Millington
experimental with some specimens by
laying tho bit Of moss on which they
grew, upon a plato Of water. He fed
them with insects and with beef stedt.
He placed q piece Of the last named on
the center off leaf. ain twelve hours
he says, "nearly every hair touched it,
They gathered over 1t in knots and re-
manned so for o day and a half, whom
they slowly returned to their natural
position, leaving the beefa white sod
den atom, resting on tho points of the
hairs. l tried 1t With o bit Of paper,
but it refused to movo for that; then q
tiny fly was touched to n Of the
treacherous dew-drops, s%motherod, and
in q few hours all the ferocious little
scarlet hairs had their beaded points
upon his body. When the blossom bud
appeared, the glands no longer secreted
the dew, and the leaves lost their bril-;
liant color"

A NEAT REJoISDIR.-lt is not often
that we see anything much more neat
and to the point than the reply Of the
Petaluma Argus to a paragraph in the
Sonoma Democrat, containing q fling at
the "bailers" Of Jefferson Davis. Says
the Democrat:
Horace Greeley and Gcrritt Smith appear
on jeff. Davis new bail bond, each for
$4,000. Thus the old.lins Abolitionists,
who belonged to the party when it was I'm.
popular and had no Offices to bestow, rcbuke
the bigotry and intolerance Of those p~olitica
trimmers who seoffed at Abolitionism in its
weakness, but became its maddest zealots
when il attained power. They are justly
held in contempt by both parties.
Whereupon the Argus thus comments
The Democrat seems to have a Just appre.
citation Of the liberality Of Horace Greeley
and Gerrit Smith in thus going upon JEFF,
Davis new bail bond. Had Horace Greeley
and Gerrit Smith yentured down to Rich.
mond to plead for mercy in behalf Of "Old
John Brown" Is it probable that they would
have lived to sign Davis bail bond? Will
the Democrat reflect a moment?
What nonsense! Did q Democrat
ever reflect?
