Worst Penman in America.
A Cincinnati paper has the following
on the biographer of Pendleton:

on the biographer of Pendleton:
There are good many jokes perpetrat-
ed about the bad chirography Of Horace
Greeley and the late Rufus choate. They
are both behind in point of execrable
manuscript-the writing editor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, G. NJ D. BIoss, ESQ.
There are only four men living or who
ever did live, who can read his manu-
script: Allison, Ryan, Allen and Young,
compositors in the Enquirer office. No
other man can tell what a single letter
of it is. He wrote the life of Hon. Geo.
Fl. Pendleton in 81 hours. We have one
page of the manuscript, and we will ven
ture hat-a new one, by the way
that there is no man can dec1pher one
word of it in 81 years, except the writer
and the four printers already named. Mr..
Bloss himself is sometimes at loss to
know what he has written, and we have
known him, in some instances, to go to
| Amos Allison to have a "cold" article,
which had lain unfinished, deciphered.
One of Mr. Bloss's peculiarities is to write
always with pen, on the most singular
bit of paper imaginable, in fact, stray
corners that are torn off business letters
sent to the Enquirer office His
penholder is about ten inches in length,
which he grasps carefully by the upper
end, and while he writes, sings Old Hun
dred, to the most ungodly tunes that any
man ever heard, and refuses to recognize
any man that comes into his Office, while
he is engaged in writing, not even except
ing the Hon. j. j. Faran, Mr.. w. Mclean,
Hon. George 81. Pendleton, or Theodore
| Cook.

Hon. Henry J. Raymond, Editor of
the New York Times, died suddenly on
the morning of the 18th instant. Some
DAYS before his death he had not felt very
we'll, but two or three days before, he was
at the Office, said he felt as we'll for writ
ing as usual, and wrote his editorials.
The day before his death he went. with
his daughter to Greenwood with the view
Of selecting lot, and, as far as known,
was in his usual heath. At two or three
o'clock in the morning he was found in
the hall insensible and died at FIVE 1t is

STATE CONVENTION OF SPIRTTUALIsTs.
Two State Conventions of Spiritualists
were held last week-one at Madison,
Wisconsin, and one at Indianapolis, Ind1-
ana.
Judging from the reports of the pro-
ceedings which have come to hand, the
Conventions must have been interesting.
And the reports manifest more fairness
and less disposition to caricature the mem
bers and proceedings of the Conventions
than usual.

From the Racine Advocate, June 10Th.
Senator Howe and the Ala.
bama Claims.

Some INSCRIPTIONS correspondent, itch
ing to produce sensation and short Of
material, took the liberty to include Sena-
tor HOWE, of this State, in the list Of
those desperate politicians who want to
make the Alabama question political
issue. To this charge the Senator replies
in the Madison Journal of Monday.
He says:
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-I find among the
news items of several papers, the follow
ing paragraph:
Senator Howe writes from Washing
ton, heartily approving of the scheme to
make the Alabama question party issue
at the next election. He says that promi-
nent men, throughout the Northwest, en-
terrain the same sentiments, and that this
movement will meet with the universal
approval of the Republicans throughout
this section of country"
Allow me to say the above is an entire
mistake. I did not know that there was
any scheme to make the Alabama claims
question party ISSUE" / never wrote a
letter in reference to such a scheme. dc
not approve of any such scheme; mol
do l know of any man who does.
Very Respectfully Yours, I. O. HOWE.
Madison, June II, 1869.
AS far as this community is concerned
the Judges letter of denial is unnecessa
~. No one here would ever accuse him
of such an absurd proposition.

object, and in this condition of mind be-
gan listless, wandering life, going from
place to place as the whim o. the mo-
ment prompted. His intellectual nature
stated. it was now that this French Childe
Harold began to take hold of the pleas
ures of life. A path of pleasure soon
opened for him. One night he found
himself in Washington. To pass the time
he visited the theatre While looking at
the beautiful figure and handsome face of
a danseuse, who held the stage between
the acts, and admiring the grace with
which she danced, a feeling awoke in his
bosom that he had never before known.
The danseuse haunted his sleep that night,
and the next day he procured an intro
duction. She was not vulgar woman,
and an acquaintance sprung up which
soon ripened into an attachment on both
sides. He was charmed with her and she
was delighted with him. They both loved
the dance,an she proposed that he should
go upon the stage, become a proficient,
and together they would travel from city
to city, and witch the American people
with beautiful dancing. He was pleased
with the proposition, and they began
their career. For some months they
travelled from place to place, delighting
the people and creating something of a
sensation, enjoying love and their odd
life with a zest such as only a French phi
losopher and beautiful danseuse can.
At length they joined troupe and
travelled South. At Memphis the COM
pany began their entertainments, where
the Frenchman and his companion made
a sensation as dancers of the can-can.
While here the fatal brawl occurred
which ended the young mans life.
Taking death bed view of his Ca
reer, he saw that his life had been wasted,
and seeing also that French philoso-
ply was poor comforter for dying man
he sent for priest, told his story, and
expressed desire to ease his mind by a
last act of justice. He wished to marry
his companion, who had nursed and seem
ed to love him. She consented, and then
the young man made known to her who
he was. He discovered to her that he was
French nobleman, that she would become
countess, and the possessor Of his large
estates in France that he had made over
to her.
The strangeness of this newspaper ro-
nance did not end here.
Another startling situation was now
revealed. The young woman also con-
fessed that she had story to tell
She made known that she was not what
she seemed. She said that she was the
daughter of the Mayor of one OF the
principal cities of Great Britain. Her
father being wealthy, she had enjoyed all
the advantages that education and cul-
ture could give She had held high posi-
tion in the society of her native city, and
had once entertained the Prince of Wales
at her fathers mansion Like the French
man she had run away from civilization,
and becoming enarmored of the life of a
danseuse, she had taken to the stage,
where fate had thrown the two together
This revelation made, the priest perform
ed the marriage ceremony, and the curtain
fell upon the strange ceremony.
This is only one of a hundred news
paper romahces that have fallen under
our eyes.

Experiments with Rain Water

The Lowell (Mass) Courier says that
on the 4th of June, 1928, Mr.. James "
Atkinson, of that city, caught some rain
water from the roof of the house, put it
in pans and let it settle for twenty -four
hours and then corked it up in two gallon
demijohns. The water was occasionally
tested, and, in 1922, when President jack
son paid visit to Lowell, Mr.. Atkinson
carried some of the water to the Merri-
mack House, and General jackson, Secre-
tar1es Van Buren, and Woodbury., and 9TH
er dignitaries present, tasted of the water,
which they pronounced equal to any
spring water, for purity and sweetness.
In 1850 Mr.. Atkinson carried some of the
same water to Montreal and Quebec.
The Mayor of the last named city, and
prominent men Of both places, tasted the
water and found it perfectly sweet and
palatablc. The following year, G829)
Mr.. Atkinson, about the same time in
June, caught water in the same manner
in two hogsheads. One of them, an oil
hogshead, was not disturbed during the
summer, but was covered with rough
boards. A film of oil rose to the top of
the water, and in September, on opening
the hogshead, the water beneath the oil
was found perfectly pure and sweet. The
point made, is, that rain caught at this
time of the year, say before the second
week in June, will keep long while per-
fectly pure and sweet. Experiments per-
formed since show that water caught later
will invariably grow impure and tainted.

FRENCH PRoTESrANTs.---An English writer,
speaking of the recent French elections; is
quite dissatisfied with Theirs and Guizot.
But then their greatest fault is that they do not
echo the English bigOted sentiment, "down
with the Pope;"
ssGuizot, a Protestant, and Theirs, phil
Osophgr, have both come forward as strong de-
fendera of the temporal power of the Pope,
and have thus played directly into the hands
of the clerical party in France-perhaps Of all
the most mischievous and most detested.
Euizot fell because he resisted the most
moderate schemes for charging the electoral
franchise. Neither he nor Theirs was ever
. friend TO the liberty of tho press, as we
understand that doctrine in England; they
differed from the Emperor only as to the de
gree Of the restrictions they would impose, and
IS to the party on whom they would impose
4hem."

Derby was ineffective, except at the close,

Language was touching, and would have been
more elective had he not wound up with a
weak protest against "a measure the political

smacked of the lodges. 1t was all Protestant,

in the pf0ffaFs heretofore made, Louisiana has
been treated with marked Kberalify, in consider
alton Of the general destitution and poverty of
her people, and that but for the apathy in re-
gard to educational interests which seemed to
prevail in 1s6z-S in the rural districts of the
State, at least twenty, instead of ten, good
common schools could have been aided mGteri-
