GENERAL. NOTES.

Will respected, unless NlLulu three Gays
his relations want tG bury him; and
also that the bodies of convicted GRIM
inals dying in Jail or Etate prison may
be likewise delivered, unless the previ-
GUS owner should hare objected three
days before, or his fFsends three days
after death. The surgeon has to give
bonds to use the body for surgical pur-
poses.
Tho appointments Of General Parker
as Indian Commission, if it should
take place, would be III curious one, for
the reason, as the i. chester Chronicle
observes, that he is defendant OF the
Chiefs of the Seneca nation, having the
real Red Indian blood in his veins. In
that respect there would seem to be a
fitness in the case; but whether the re-
laionship would make him better
Commissioner than mere carpet. bag
ger of the pale.face kind or not, 1t
would be hard to say.
AT the late town election In Vine
land, N. j., it was again unanimously
voted to have no license to sell intOXl-
eating liquors. There were several
tickets in the field, including one "wo-
mans ticket" nominated by meeting
of men and women favorable to woman
suffrage. The women, as usual, had Il
separate ballot box in the hall, where
they came and deposited their votes.
They cast one hundred and eiGhty-two
in all. The Weekly says: 1--WE were
told by friend that while n woman,
living on Landis avenue. was attending
the pOllSon Tuesday last, her husband
was at work at home doing the family
ironing"
The census recently taken by the
British authorities i'll Northeastern
India seems to have been far more par
ticular and perfect than any census
whose returns have ever been made
public i'll Europe or America. In n
population of 10000, 900, there have
frankly registered themselves ns beg
gars, 47y, ,Ol5; prostitutes, 26, SOC; eunuchs,
2,25l; pimps, 32l; tlatterers for gain,
226; testers, S5l; astrolOgers. ,l2i. We
should like TO see an equally frank and
faithful census of any part of this
country. or any of its harder cities
say. for example, Washington or
Chicago.
DIR. Snow, Superintendent OF
Health nt Providence, Il. J., has re-
Gently been examining milk sold in
that city, with surprising results.
Among the foreign substances discOv-
cred in larger or smaller quantities
were burnt sugar, corn, starch, sand,
biCarbOnAte of soda, chalk, and other
matters. The prominent features Of
most of the specimens examined, how
ever, were lack of cream. and plen-
commodity it is estimated that ut least
1000 quarts are daily sold in the city,
making the comfortable little sum of
$40, 600 per annum in the pockets of the
sellers.
The prohibitory liquor law in
Maine is vigorously enforced by the
muicipal authorities and by the citi-
zens. Many of the liquor shops in
Ellsworth have suffered vlsltutiOnS
from the sheritf's officers, and are in
state OF chronic fear. Last week the
office of the Eastern Express Company
was visited by the sheriff and large
quantity of liquor consigned by BoS-
ton parties to liquor sellers was seiZad,
,The loss falls on the Boston owners.
Other means OF conveyance must be
devised for such merchandise.
"A case of domestic scandal was un
der discussion at tea table. "Well.
let us think the best of her we cam,
said an elderly spinster. YES" said
another, land say the worst"
"A late divorce case in Chicago de.
welcomes the fact that an old man, after
nineteen years of welded life, married
three other women in rapid succession,
and maintained four separate estah'
lishments.
Anna l.. Dickinson. finding her
self mt Des MOines, too late for the train
which was to carry her and her lecture
TO Mount Pleasant, nObly hired loco
motive, and rode thereon to fulfill the
engagement. The trip cost her 800,
and the lecture returned her $3.50. Miss
Dickinson may be depended upon to
keep her promise. If some splendid
Young fellow could only prevail upon
her to make one!
The Pennsylvania Democracy have
already commenced drumming up
candidate for the next presidential
campaign; and, by way OF testing the
popular feeling toward General Han
cock, they propose running him for
Governor OF that State.
Tho Hon. Ellis AmGs and the Hon.
William CASTOR are both spoken of in
Massachusetts ns the successors OF
Judge Hoar on tho bench of the Su~
preme Court, and Governor Claim is
