A New York letter, of Tuesday, says:
"The Fat Men indulged themselves last
night in their long expected ball at Ir-
wing Hall. It was q very enjoyable affair
to the stout people, whose presence in
lump made the agglomeration of human
adiposity an event of the season, to say
nothing of the novelty of dance in
which fifty couples, weighing more in
the aggregate than Brigham Young's
mother-in-law, caracoled and curvetted
to the music of sixty pieces, and the i'm
mense risk of the hall. The satisfactory
solidity of Gotham and the regions round
about, kept up the ponderous fun until
morning."

The subject of minority-or, moro
strictly speaking, of personal-represen
tation was recently brought up in Con-
gross. This subject, which was first in
troduced to the American public by the
World some three years ago, has since
grown to very considerable dimensions.
At the New York Constitutional Conven-
ton the plan of personal representation
had some forty votes, and the friends of
the measure in the Illinois Constitutional
Convention, now in session, have clear
majority, so that the measure can only
be defeated by division on minor points
among its supporters. 1t is not to be
expected that the present Congress will
devote any intelligent legislation to the
subject; but the steady growth in public
favor which has attended the plan of per-
sonal representation since the World first
began the discussion of the subject,
shows that its adoption will only be
question of time.-Ne'c York World

1t is remarkable evidence of conces-
sion on the part of ode first cullud
sirkles' of this country, that they should
recommend the republic of Liberia to
amend its Constitution by striking out
tho word "wbite." thus opening new
haven of official rest to wandering car
pet-baggers. Considering the extent
and importance of the nation of Liberia.
this liberal policy should be accepted as
payment in full for all similar conces-
sions extended or to be extended by the
United States to the African race.

A GREAT NEwsPAPER.-The Sene-

The New York Herald of April | 8

spects is the greatest newspaper in
the world. 1t is certainly the most
enterprising and largest in the Uni
ted States. The copy now before us
is quadruple sheet, 46 by 6S inches,
containing eight columns of editorial
thirty-eight columns of news, and fifty
columns of advcrtisements-in all
ninety-six columns. The cost of type.
setting alone is enormous, the Herald
being the only paper in the world
that sets every portion new every day
advertisements and all. To print
the single issue now before us re-
quires the setting up of 100000 ems
agate, $4,000 ems nonpareil and 46,
$50 ems minion-649, $50 ems in all
and the consumption of over clever
tons of paper. The type-setting and
proof-reading alone costs full $500
for single day. Enormous as these
figures are, they give but faint ides
of the aggregate expense of publica
ton. Ocean kilograms at 1920 pei

ART AND MIsERY.-A London cor.
respondent of a New York paper
says that a few days ago coroner's
inquest was held in that CITY on the
body of a poor French artist who had
been at work upon one picture for
fUe years. He neglected all other
work for that, and gradually fell into
debt and difficulty. He thought of
sending it to the Royal Academy, but
health and spirits alike gave way
His landlady testified that he was ii

food being LOAF of bread and pint
of milk daily" He owed six weeks
rent, but at last, seeing that he was
absolutely without food, his landlady
lent him small trifie of money. Thu

Of Louis Lane, negro of perhaps if

penalty of the law for poisoning his
sixth wife. About twelve years age
he attempted to poison his fifth wife
but failing i'll that, he tried to destroy
her by setting fire to the house, il
which she was confined in an upper
room. Fortunately she escaped from
the building. For tnis attempt be
was sent to the penitentiary for six
years. Three of his previous wives
died under very suspicious circumstan
ces. During his trial he was cool and
calm, and often apparently unconcern
ed, and he maintained the same bear
ing in prison.

republican senator from the 18th dis
trict, was assassinated 10 Warren coun-
ty, this State yesterday. He had been
frequently warned not to enter the
county, although it was his birth place
and his home through life. Paying
no attention to the threats be started
for home a few days ago. On arriv-
ing at bearing station, eight miles
from his residence, his private carriage
met him and in it he proceeded home
wards. When within two miles of
his home a man issued from the woods
close by and was saluted by Mr.. At
kius, who recognized him. The salu
tation was instantly returned and was
accompanied by the drawing and pre-
senting of the assassin's pistol. The
fellow took deliberate aim and the
hall pierced the senator's heart, kill
ing him instantly. Mr.. Atkins was {
staunch republican and had been many
years baptist minister and bore al
irreproachable private character. Pc
litical animosity alone could have
prompted the assassination. He was

A SwINDLE.-The old trick of selling
bogus patent rights to farmers, taking their
notes in payment, and then trading the
notes off to other parties, has recently been
played upon the farmers of Worcester Co.
The Spy says:
Some months since, party claiming to
represent firm called Smith, Clark & Co.,
visited several towns in this county, selling
the patent right of hay fork, and sold the
territory to numerous parties, leaving one
fork as a sample, promising to fill orders
for future sales, and taking the notes of the
farmers with whom he dealt payable to
bearer As far as yet appears there is no
mandatory of the forks known, and the
purchasers have failed to get any equiva-
lent for their notes, which have recently
been sold for goods in this city and else.

"AFFECTING SCENE"-Jfr. Editor -
In your paper of May 4th was an item tax
en- from the CALIFORNIAN with the above
heading. Though no names were men
toned every one in the neighborhood
knows who the article referred to- and the
feelings of the community are, that the
facts were misrepresented, and | am re-

In scene LIST we are told of ''three little
children stretched out upon pallet of
straw, wasting away by black cankerrash."
Mind you, Mr.. Editor, the pallet of straac
was covered by Il comfortable feather bed,
upon which two of the children lay, while
the baby had cradle with a good bed and
pillows in it, where it lay when it did not
want to be held. As for black cankerrash,
the reporter could not have consulted the
| physician before writing his article or he
would have been informed that there was
no such thing as black cankerrash. In

said was equal to the throwing off the advance of
