POLITICAL.

The resignation of Mr.. Borie, Secretary of the
Navy, and the appointment Of his successor,
have rather taken the public by surprise, al-
though the impression was more or less prcva-
lent that the Sccrctary's official tenure was not
likely to be permanent. During his brief career
as head Of the Navy Department he has won the
respect Of all by his integrity and courtesy.
Hon. Geo. NJ Robson, the newly appointed
Secretary Of the navy, is a son Of Judge VIM.
r. Robson of Warren county, N. J for long
time a leading Wing and prominently connected
with the politics OF that State. Upon the cleo
Of Mr.. Frelinghuysen as Senator in 1867, Mr..
Robson was appointed by Governor Ward At

for the new duties. He is about forty-onc years
Of age and justly holds high' rank in his pro-

A Washington correspondent Of the Rochester
Chronicle writes:
"In conversation yesterday Secretary Fish
said that both himself and the President endorsed
Mr.. SUMMERS speech, and were glad that II wa:
made, and that the instructions were seen by
Mr.. Sumner and were approved by him before
they were delivered TO Mr.. Motley. He inti'
mated that the Government did not claim remote
consequential damages for such things as the
prolongation Of the war and the destruction OF
American commerce, and that Mr.. Sumner never
expected any such claim TO be preferred, though

which grow side by side, and spread their

A distressing scene occurred during the trial
Of Mrs. E. A. Pollard, for assault and battery on

story by stating that inch by inch she had been

case, and finally concluded by declaring the
witness guilty Of common assault rs charged In

A Fair for Wives.

Visitors to London, says the
London News, have been rather
astonished by our baby show; but
what shall we sey to an annual fair
for manageable youngg girls? Such
a show took place on the 11th and
18th of last month, and is of imme-
mortal custom with the Rouman-
ians. As time for the airapproach-
es, the fathers whose children
are marriageable collect what they
can afford as a dnwry. What
ever this may consist Of is packed
if possible, into a cart or carriage,
and on the appointed day they
all-fathers, children and chattels
start for some trysting place,
chosen among the west
ern mountains of Transylvsnia
When the fair is opened, the faith
ers climb to the top Of their car
riages and shout with the whole
power of their lungs, 81 have
to marry. Who wants a
wife?' The call isanswered by some
other parent who hes a son he is
anxious TO pair off. The two par
ents compare notes, and if the
marriage portion is satisfactory,
the treaty is there and then con
cluded. The young man takes
possession Of his wife with all her
goods and chattles, and drives off
nerrily. lion the other hand, the
match is not equal, or for some
other reason unsatisfactory, then
he parents begin to cry their live
merchandise once more.

a COMMITTEE IN SCHooL--A sub
committee of a school board, not
a thousand miles from the city of
Lynn, were examining a class in
a primary school. One of the
committee undertook to sharpen
their wits by propounding the fol-
lowing question; "lf l had pie,
and should give two-twelfths to
John two-twelfths to Isaac, two.
twelfths to Harry ,and keep halt the
pie myself, what would there be
ieft?" There was profound study
among the scholars, but finally one
lad held up his hand as sign that
he was already to'answer. "Well
sir, what would be left? Speak
up loud so that all can hear" said
the committee man. "The plate?
shouted the hopeful fellow. The
questioner turned rId ia the face,
while the members roared aloud.
That boy was excused from an.
swering any more questions.

An exchange well says that
there are many persons who either
take no paper at all, or else take
one from a distant city, and when
they wish to see what is transpiring
in their own neighborhood, they
beg or steal the local paper from
some citizen more liberal than
themselves. Many men of this
kind are engaged in business, and
frequently grumble because people
do not patronize home industry, .
when they practice the very
thing of which they complain.
