WELL PosTED.-One fine day, some time
ago, three English ladies visited the studio
of Randolph Rogers, in Rome. One of
them, thin, weak.voiced and near r,sighted;
another equally slight and deaf; the third a
stout, heavy female, with deep masculine
voice, who evidently played the Interpreter
for the party. Stopping in front of one of
his statuettes Mr.. Rogers said "This is
Nydia, the blind girl of Pompeii." "What
is it," squaked the near-sighted one. "Hey.
hey what did he say r chimed in the deaf
lady. "Nubia, the blind girl of Bombay !"
thuudered the accomplished and well,read
Interpreter, thus thoroughly posting her
and petrifying with astoniShment the sculp-
tor.

Butler has been sued by a young woman

1852, sent to officers of ,he United States,

Treasury OF the United States. Cen. But.
Ter was applied to to use his influence to
have Twiggs' swords returned, and was told
that be would be sued if he did not. He
refused to interfere, The suit is brought
and published for political effect. The

that the bill to which his attention had been
called was only fifty cent fractional note ;
and turning back to the desk where he had
laid his 200 he saw that it was gone.

The Chicago american Chwchman has
pretty clear conception of the Yankee.
In a late issue, in the discussion of the
Mormon question, it asserts that the knaves
in Utah are nearly all Yankees, and "apos-
ties" "bishops" and "elders," and all who
get the titles, while the dupes are mainly
degraded European peasants, many of them
from England and Wales, aud members by
baptism of the English Church. The ed
itor says: -"There never existed but one
Mormon Irishman, and Mormon Irishwo.
man is something totally unknown to nat
uralist."

IT docs not secm possible to keep pace
with the business history OF FISK GOULD,
and others, who are manipulating the rail-
road interests Of the country. Every day
adds something to their movements which
in point OF fact is but modicum OF their
operations as 6rst-class gamblers. While
such movements should not be recognized
by newspapers, it has become necessity
with the people to know what these worth
les are doing, and the press is bound tc
chronicle their actions. Another big law
suit has begun. The President of the AL
bany and Susqehauua railroad has made
drive for the Erie chaps.

While the new constitution is defeated in
New York by large maj rity, there ap.
pears to De some doubt as to the fate of the
Judiciary article voted on separately. There
is majority for the article outside of tie
counties Of Erie, New York and Kings Of
51,271. If New York and Kings do not
give any more majority against the judiciary
article than they did for .he Democratic
ticket, then the article is adop,id by few
hundred votes Its ratification, therefore,
appears probable. The substantial effect
of the amendment will be to lengthen the
terms of the judges from eight to fourteen
years, and to submit to the popular vote in
1873 the question OF the abolition of the
elective judiciary.

TWENTY-rOUR thousand troops have
sailed for Cuba from Spanish polts within
the past three weeks, according to the cable
dispatch published yesterday. The Span.
ish Government must surely be apprchen-
sivc that there is even yet vast amount Of
military work to be done in Cuba. Such
heavy reenforeements have never at any
previous time been sent there; in fact,
we do not think that Spain has heretofore,
during the present year, sent more than
ten or twelve thousand troops, all told 10
Cuba. Docs Spain propose to make tire
mendious eff)rt to crush out Cespedes, or
do these twenty-iour Thousand new troops
constitute the Cron'stu's army for fighting
the Americans? With Spanish fighting
force of fifty thousand men in Cuba, Capt
tain, General de Kodas ought to be able to
hold and defend his Island against the rest

which was expected off New York is to the
effect that it was the intention of the Span,
ish Admiral referred to elsewhere, to make
reprisaIs upon American commerce, in the
event that his demands were not fully COM
Piled with. The diplomicy of our Gov

GENERAL WooL is said to have left a
fortune Of sbout 100000, the bulk of
whish is bequeathcd to his nephcws
aud Deices. A few days prior to his
death he added codicil to swil, settling
apart S3seop to the Orphan Asylum.
The Generals funeral was a most impo.
sing aifaAf, Along the route the streets,
fences and housetops were thronged with
spectators, who preserved silence, order and
general decorum quite as commendable as
1t was remarkable. In accordance with
the honored dead in his last illness, the
bands severly played the beautiful strains
"Homs Sweet Home" The sound was
suggestive of the sweeter glorious home
that he has now reached "beyond the river.
One of the most interesting incidents of the
occasion was the presence Of several aged
veteransns who had fought under the Cen
eral in the war of 1912 and in the Mexican
war, and who seemed deeply affected as
they gazod upon their old comrade. AS u
citizen he was proud o! his place of rcsi~
deuce and was interested in its growth
and prosperity, which he had witnessed
from the days Of his boyhood to the vener.
able years OF his decline. He was a man
OF deep religious sentiment and was a com-
munican. of st. paul's Episcopal Church.
Upon bis h.bcd, in answer to the ques-
tion of the Rev. DR.. Colt, his pastor, as to
whether he placed his reliance upon the
Savior, he responded with solemn emphasis,
"I do" He died as Christian ,itzen and
soldier, sinking away paiulessly into sweet
sleep that had no awakirg. So gradual and
easy was his departure that there was
scarcely pcrceptablo trcmor.
