600 in greenbacks. These bonds she

The Queens Fair in Prussia

The Queens Fair in Prussia.
A correspondent, describing the
fair Of the Queen in Prussia, at Der.
lin, says:
"The wittiest ladies were placed
in charge of the stands containing
the least valuable goods, but by their
merry sallies always attracted the
crowd, and they managed to sell Of
much as their sisters at more valua.
BILE stands. There was, especially,
one young lady whose amusing re-
plies were q constant source oil
amusement for the bystanders, and
who was patronized more literally
than any Of her fair colleagues. She
was never at loss for striking re-
ply, and she managed TO dispose of
her stock Of goods at enormous pri-
ces and with wonderful rapidity.-
An old gentleman, who was quite
fascinated by her, took heart and
asked her:
"Tell me if you sell kisses too"
"Of course, replied the young la
dy.
"What is the price of your kiss.
est,
"a hundred dollars a piece, cash in
advance"
"Here hundred dollars" said the
aged adorer Of the lady.
"But, instead of the kiss he expec-
ted, he saw, to his dismay, that the
young lady kissed her little white
hands with her charming lips to him,
amid the loud cheers of the bystan-
ders, and then took the hundred dol
lars as coolly as if she had something
at very low price.
No less fortunate was her fair
neighbor, Of whom the Turkish EN-.
bassador bought a small bust of the
queen, for which he paid her 500
Fredericks dor. Under the circum-
stances, third party needed not to
be very angry with Baron Won Roths-
child, who paid her-one gold piece
for her photograph. Fifty-two thou
sand dollars were taken in six days,
the lottery yielding probably as much
more. So crowded were the rooms
every evening that oftentimes adj
mittance had to be refused to large
numbers of persons, and the repeat
ed attempts to prevent the halls from
being overcrowded by raising the
price of admission failed entirely of
the purpose.

We clip the following from the
Pittsburgh Commercials report Of the
Supreme Court proceedings:
Samuel Quincy ct al VS.. the Allan
tic and Great Western Railway
Company ct al in equity. Petition
of the defendant Company for dis
charge of receiver and restoration of
line to the officers OF the corporation
filed and order made accordingly.
It appears that the company broke
down in 1867, and Quincy and others,
who held bonds and mortgages to the
amount of some thirty millions Of
dollars, had Gen. Robert +. Potter
appointed receiver. The former con-
dition of the road was improved, and
the plaintiffs filed the above mention
ed bill, and asked an order restoring,
with the consent of the plaintiff, to
the defendant the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway Company, all and
singular, the railways and moTtgaged
property estate and premises of said
company, which have been in the
possession of the receiver. The order
granted. a similar order has
been made in the Supreme Court of
New York, sitting at Buffalo. An
application will be made in the Courts
Of Ohio, and if granted, as in all
probability in Will be, the company
will again come into possession of the
road.
The fees of lawyers in this case are
quite extensive, as provided for in the
order mentioned above. To ClarksOn

including his charges and expenses,
and payment Of fees OF assistant
counsel, SI00, 900. To counsel for de-
-endant, three in number, the sum of

COLUMBUS, November q.
The General Assembly devoted
itself TO talk about adjournment, and
finally the house adopted a resolution
to adjourn from tomorrow night
until the second Tuesday in January.
The same matter will he decided in
the senate at ll:50 a. NJ, tomorrow.
Mr.. Sherwin offered in the house q
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a committee of three TO draft
a registry law, which was adopted.
Messrs. Sherwin, COLLEEN and COckerill
were appointed said committee. Nj.
RukenbrOd introduced a bill to repeal
the visible admiXture bill. Both
houses adopted a resolution authOriZ-
ing Governor Hayes to appoint a
committee to attend the commission
that meets in Springfield, Illinois, to
devise means TO prevent the spread of
the cattle disease. In the house the
committee on benevolent institutions
reported q resolution directing the Of

the recent inmates of the central
asylum as possible, and applying the
81, $50 appropriated for the use of the
central asylum to the payment of the
additional expenses of the northern
and southern asylums, which were
adopted. In the senate resolutions Of
respect to the memory of Hon. J. c.

General Grant AID the OElees.

The difficulties and trials that have
hitherto surrounded the appointing
power placed in the hands of the Pres
ident, bid fair to be lessened in great
measure by the unanimity hat has
greeted the proposed reform in thecivll
Service. The common sense ofthe COM
munitv seems to concur on the follow
ing points, viz: that the Government
should avail itself of the experience of
those incumbents whose efficiency
is established, and who have not per-
mitted partiZanship either to interfere
with the faithful discharge of their
duties, or to stand in the way Of their
retention OF promotion. The right OF
any person to claim, for himself or his
friends this or that appointment, here
after will be denied. In other words,
the President will not serve as a mere
staIking-horse for political paTtisans,
no matter what their official position
may be. The active Congressman
who are eager TO relieve the President
if his duties in the business OfappOint-
ing officers in their several districts,
viii be permitted 10 labor less in that
field in future. The President, in
stead Of dividing the power among
Congressmen until the smallest frac-
ton remains in his OWL hands,
will retain the entire control OF the
appointing power in his own hands,
and be guided, o. not, as he pleases
by the information obtained from Rep
resentatives concerning the standing,
capacitY and honesty of the various
applicants in their districts. This
will. in effect revolutioniZe the pres
emf system, which has, not inaptly,
been termed q common stock sys-
tenn"
The. practical effect of the proposed
change Will be productive of incalcu-
liable benefit TO everybody concerned.
While it will not lessen the position
of Congressman, it viii afford h
President every opportunity 10 eXer-
else his free choice in the selection Of
his officers. It viii do away, at a
breath. with the sham applications
signed by the thousands of ''promi-
nentr and influential citizens, who
are either compelled by purely person.
al considerations to sign the sham, or
who have awaited themselves of this
evil practice to keep their names up

these sham applications are simply
the currency that a. used to pay polit-
zeal obligations o. every description.
That General Grant will meet with
vigorous opposition in the introduce
ton of a system which has become abb
soIutely necessary TO the preservation
Of our political purity, there can be no
question, He possesses thedisposition
and the power however, to carry out
these views; and will have the counte-
nance of every one who has the we'll
fare of the country at heart. The
country is ripe for the change. All
that is required TO perfect the needful
reform is a courageous heart and a firm
hand. and these are precisely the
prominent characteristics of the man
who has been selected, and whom the
country relies upon for carrying out
the reform.-PitS. Com.
