oath, and the ~cnator took it, but he seems to

BRIDGING THE POTOMAC The Washington
Republican correspondent urges that the im
portancc Of great care in ceding the right to
bridge the Potomac Tor railroad purposes, meets
very general appreciation among business men Of
Washington He says Ten, twenty or thir-
ty years hence it may DE most important that
two, three or four railroads should pass from
Washington city to different parts Of the South,
and as but single railroad bridge can cross the
Potomac below Georgetown, without Obstruc:-
ing the rivers navigation too much, it is man
ifestly important that Congress, in granting the
right to build the bridge, should provide that
any other company may use it in common with
the company constructing or owning it on pay
ment of fair compensation for the privilege.

Views OF Mr. ALEX. Ii. STEPHENS. A
correspondent Of the Macon Telegraph has
visited Mr.. Stephens at his residence in Geor-
sia Among other things he reports as follows
| asked Mr.. Stephens what he thong ht would
be the course OF Gen. Grant as President, and
while he says but little upon public matters,
his reply was as follows: All the country
wants is good government. For Gen Grant
personally [ entertain the highest esteem.
From the time first met him as City Point,
in 1865. have regarded, and still regard him,
as one of the most remarkable men have ever
met. He possesses one OF the rarest combina-
tons of elements OF character OF perhaps any
man living. do not believe he will be easily
influenced, much less controlled, by any person.
He will act from the dictates of Lis own judg-
ment, and what he believes to be the line OF
his duty. | regard him as man Of great
generosity and magnanimiy, neither selfish nor
ambitious, and believe he meant all that the
words import when he said Let US have peace.
Gen. Grant, however, no more than any other
man, can have all things as he might desire
The future of this country, therefore, is still
enveloped in great uncertainty. All the patriots
at the South can do is to bear in patience the
present-exercise a generous confidence and
look hopefully Tor times Development

The American Entomologist, has an interesting
article on iungoid growths. The theory set forth
is, that these growths mushrooms, &c, take
their origin from living plants and living ami
mails. Some curious facts, not generally
known, are made in elucidation OF the subject.
The culture of mushrooms is recommended as
likely to be profitable. When fresh and good
and carefully selected, they are great dellca-
cy as we'll as a healthy vegetable.

FATAL ACCIDENT Jane Fletcher, black
girl about twenty years Of age, formerly the
slave Of H. G. Moffett, of Rappahannock county,
Was severely burned about 3 O clock A. Nj. last
Tuesday night She was a capable servant and
had secured permanent employment and a COM
Portable home here, but was induced by inter-
meddlcrs OF her own color to give these Up and
seek precarious livelihood by doing day 8
washing now dni then for them, The result
was she had no place to lay her wcaried body
last Tuesday night, and in the pitiless snow
and rain storm then prevailing had to beg
shelter in a cellar on Cupeper street. While
there without bedding, and nodding over the
embers, her clothes took fire and were literally
burned from her body Because the poor crca-
ture could not suppress her cries OF anguish,
the brutal tenant of the cellar drove her with
curses loud and deep out into the peltlng storm
and deserted street. With scarcely rag TO hide
her nakedness or shield her from the weather,
she wandered from one negro's house to another
praying admttance, and at every one encoun-
tered refusal, until gentleman who had been
aroused by he, agonizicg appeals commanded
colored family living on his premises to take
her H. She received the best medical atten-
ton but died at p. NJ. yesterday. - Warren

In the case OF the Northern Central Rail
way Company vs.. Jackson, the Supreme
Court has decided that the internal revenue
act does not contemplate the payment OF q
tax by non resident foreign holders, and that
the State of Pennsylvania did not have iuris-
diction to impose the tax levied in this case
secause the corporation was created under the
laws of Maryland, and was therefore beyond
her jurisdiction. This decision settles an impor-
tant question as to the power of one State to
tax franchises within another State.

di disorders, which were aggrav ated by the
scrofulous contamination until they were
painfully affecting, have been radi cally
cured in such great numbers in almost ev-
cry section of the country, that the public
scarcely need to be informed of its virtues
or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most de-
structive enemies of our race. Often this
unseen and unfelt tenant OF the organism
undermines the constitution, and invites
the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases,
ithout exciting suspicion of its presence.
Again. it seems to breed infection through
'ut the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develop into one or othe-
of it' hideous forms, either ON the surface
or among the vitals. In the latter, tuber-
cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs
ol heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it
shows its presence by eruptions on the skin,
or foul alterations on some part of the body
