A LIVE Mouse IN A CHuD's SroMACH.-In the
drug store of Mr.. Weilbacher. corner of Spain and
Greatman streets, is Il half grown mouse, the
history of which is indeed extraordinary.
A daughter OF Mr.. f. Waldsauer, living near the
drug store. only two years and three months old.
has been a sufferer from some complaint for three
weeks, the exact diagnosis of which was not ascer-
tanned. She was variously treated. but one thing
seemed certain. that the cause was in her stomach.
AT times she suffered acute pains, and occasionally
her appetite was unusual, and a checking sensa-
ton attacked the little girl almost daily. Symp-
toms indicated that she was troubled with worms,
but as difference of opinion existed among inter
ested parties. a consultation was held. and it was
arranged to make a test by administering. last
Thursday. a powerful emetic, and the medicine
solved the mystery. Emily vomited with consid-
cradle force. the aforementioned mouse, and yes
terday the animal, still alive, was an object of
attraction. This statement is true in every partic-
ular. and should scientific gentlemen have any
curiosity to crafty in the matter, may be gratifed
by visiting the place mentioned. The mouse will
be preserved by the apothecary, and the stranger
may yet find a home in some museum. How it got
there. or when. the child or its father cannot say.
Emily has since recovered.-N. o. Republican.

Victoria's Household.

A London letter, describing the opening of a
market in London, i'm which emo a portion
of the royal family participated, says: All the
members OF the royal family present honored the
time the flourish of trumpets and the sharp order
of the COlonel's Attention indicated the arrival
of the Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Mary,
Prince Teck and other distinguished persons.
Miss Coutts, leading the way, descended from the
platform, followed by the archbishops, bishops,
deans and noblemen, and proceeded to the en-
trance door to receive the guests. The bold the
royal family have on the British public was seen
clearly by the excitement produced on the coming
OF these representatives. Everybody came to their
feet, and there was n general excitement, which
lasted long after the notables were seated, as they
were, on the right and left of Miss Coutts, she
holding the seat Of honor. Could Her Majesty
have entered the chapel, the excited audience
would almost have brought the house down. The
Duchess of Cambridge, cousin of the Queen, who
stands next to the throne, and outranks all the
peers and peeresses Of the land, is a remarkably
preserved lady of about seventy. Tall, finely
formed, with a face strongly marked, coarse, and
somewhat masculine, yet exceedingly benignant,
appearing in public, as she is really in private,
unaffected, exceedingly courteous and without
hauteur. Princess Mary, her daughter, is one of
the most regal looking ladies in England quite
tall, rather stout, with a face indicating benevo-
olence and character. She dresses with great
simplicity and elegance, and would be q marked
lady in any circle. She is greatly beloved for her
kindness Of heart and benevolence of life. She is
the most popular princess in the land. When
she was married to Prince Teck, she refused to be
married in any of the royal chapels or palaces.
She insisted upon a simple wedding, the direction
of which she took into her own bands. She was
married in the little country church at Kew,
where her summer residence is. She invited all
her country neighbors to be present, and threw
her lawns open to them. She gave special orders
that the infirm and aged should have the best
seats in church, and that the crowd might have a
good view of the procession in which was the
Queen.
She walked from the palace to the church, that
all who wished might see her. She enters hear
tily into all plans for the poor, the infirm or the
sick, and lends her lame and influence everywhere
where it can be used with profit to the lowly.
Entirely free from affectation, she seemed to enter
most heartily into the enjoyment of the occasion
which she graced with her presence. Most of the
present were old men, many of them pre-
maturely old. This is especially true of the Duke
of Wellington, who inherits his fathers titles and
some of his looks He is very gray, his frame
worn and attenuated, and he has the look and
stoop off man of eighty.

"ENoCH ARDEN" CASE IN GLAsGow.-In the year
1864. a painter belonging to Port Glasgow left
that town and joined the American army. From
time to time, for twelve months thereafter, word
was regularly received from him, the last word
being that he was promoted to be a sergeant in
the Union army. About two months after that
letter was received another came to this wife in
Port Glasgow, stating that her husband. the SER
geant, was no more. having been shot in one of
the battles in which General Lee was the opposing
commander.
His widow, his father, mother. brothers and
sisters. mourned for him as dead, and donned the
usual habiliments for twelve months. After that
his supposed widow was married. and with her
second husband lived happy till Friday night last,
when her former husband arrived at Port Glasgow,
all alive and in eXcellent health. The wife refuses to
leave her second spouse. while the first threatens
to take legal proceedings TO compel her to share
his bed and board. How the matter may end it is
premature TO conjecture. Meanwhile the gossips of
Port Glasgow are busy discussing the matter.
TIL first husband was in Greenock on Monday
consulting a legal gentleman as to the course he
ought to p~ursue.-Glasgoo Herald.

AMRRosIAL SHAVING CREAM

This Cream possesses all the good qualities of the finest Ma

Irritation to tender faces. The Ambrosial Shaving Cream lis

almost every Shaving Soap hitherto introduced being entirely
Obviated.

Lords had been unworthily treated by the House
of ommons Bright responded that n Com
mittee had been appointed to frame reasons for
the disagreement with the Lords.
The bill for the Government to purchase the
telegraph lines in the kingdom was read q second
time. Adjourned.
LONDON, July 1.-THE debate on the amended
Irish Church bill was continued in the House of
Commons until u late hour this morning. After
the rejection Of the amendments proposed by the
Peers, Disraeli took the floor and spoke at some
length; he regretted the Reputation by the
Lords; the agreement of the Lords to send the
bill a second time was an act of malignaDcy ;
considering the majority unfayorable to the meas
ure, the agreement was only given under the
understanding that the Commons would consider
the amendment in a conciliatory spirit; he could
not understand how the course the Government
had taken could be reconciled to the expectations
held out to the House of Lords.
Gladstone replied, and said the promise given
to the House Of Lords was that the amendment
would be respectfully considered. He maintained
that the pledge had not been violated, and that
he had conceded much in Difference to the Lords :;
he had fulflled-more than fulflled-the pledge
he had given. lGreat cheering.] lie was certain
that if any harm had been done to the Church, it
was by those who desired the grievous and ener-
waiting effect the disestablIshment would have.
Gatborpe Hardy took the floor, and accepted
the appeal made to posterIty in regard to the
beneficial effects of the bill. He supported
Disneli's statements, that John Bright had used
threats of the dissolution of Parliament to keep
the party together, and coerce them. The House
Of Lords-a coordinate authority-thought they
had been treated in an unworthy manner.
Mr.. Bright denied that he had ever used
threats The only reference to the subject was
as to what might be the expression of popular
opinion If the subject Of concurrent Endorsement
were referred to the nation. He regretted this
charge which was brought forward. but which
the great majority Of the House disbelicyed.

Pork is King.

Thousands of farmers in Grant
County have saved themselves from
financial embarrassment, and it may
be, from the surrender OF their es-
tates by having gone into pork as
well as wheat growing the past sea-
son. The market price Of wheat
gives no return value for expens-
es of labor and time in growing
grain but those who have followed
tho example of husbandmen in the
older and rich agricultural districts
of New York, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, and engaged in mixed
husbandry, now have pork and some
articles of produce TO market at
rates of good profit We estimated
last week that the farmers Of Grant
County would market million and
q half dollars worth of pork this
season, and since receiving reports
from somo OF the heas lest pork buy
ers through the county we are as
sured the estimate is low. Many
farmers have been grinding wheat
and feeding it to their hogs, this be-
ing considered profitable with wheat
at 20 cents, when dressed pork brings
sl2 and Sl3 per cwt at Chicago
Just now there is temporary de-
cline IN the pork market and sales
will be light until probably after the
holidays. And we learn Of several
large lots of live hogs contracted to
be delivered during the first week of
January at $40. There is little doubt
but that the pork of this county will
return moro money, one-tourth more,
than did the best wheat crop ever
produced.

Times are Hard"-pay up and Make

WANTED.-Under the head of
WANTS" the Monroe Sentinel adver-
tises for one thousand farmers hav-
ing the sense to betake themselves
to the dairy and stock business,
fruit growing and the raising of ar
ticles of produce more generally in
demand and dearer than wheat and
oats. Horses are in dear demand
as they will be for years to come to
supply the far West. Sheep will
soon be in demand and dear for the
same reason. The farmers who fol-
low mixed husbandry are fast learn
ing that their cheese, butter, eggs
next to hay and live stock-return a
better income for the investment
than all else produced. And next
year wheat cannot DO in much de-
mand, the crop of this year being so
large as TO insure a surplus next
year, even with half of a crop.
The Sentinel thinks forward and rea-
sons within knowledge.

General Terry, who commands IN
Georgia, gives a sad picture OF affairs
in that State. lie says that III many
parts Of the State there il practically
no governments tho worst Of crime )
are committed, al no attempt is
made to punish those who commits
them. There eau be no doubt Of the
existence OF numerous insurrection-
airy organizations known as the 'Ku
hluxklans, who, shielded by their
disguise, by the secresy OF their
movements, and by tho terror which
they inspire, perpetrato crimes with
lmpunity. General ferry advises
the temporary resumption of miiita-
ny rule in the State until proper
and efficient civil government is es-
tablished.
General Amos, commanding 10
Mississippi, says that there is edll a
good deal Of lawiessness aud violence
in that State, but cases Of attack up

ties are rare.

says that the civil authorities sire

tary to enforce the laws, and that
there is an Improvement in the dis
position Of juries TO punish for mur-
der and other high crimes. The

GoosEBERRIEs.-It has been gener-
ally admitted among fruit raisers,
that the English varieties of the
gooseberry were worthless in this
country, by reason Of the destruo-
ton of the berry by mildew. Hence
they are generally discarded and their
place supplied by the never failing
Houghton's Seeding But at the
late session of the Illinois Horticultu-
raj Society we notice that an English
man claimed to have raised the
best English kinds for twelve years
past, with no mildew. He attributes
this success to the application Of
sand, used as mulch three inches
deep around and under the bushes.
Will some of our old country read
ors experiment little in this way,
and if successful in keeping off mil
dew, give their views to tho HeraId
for the public good
