A MEETING THAT CAME TO NOTHING.

A MEETING THAT CAME TO NOTHING
PHILADELPHIA, July 4-The city papers made
great parade a day two ago over very important
meeting Of prominent Republicans which was TO take
place on the 4th. What was to be done was not very
clearly foreshadowed, but now the affair Is over We
know all about it. The fact seems TO be that the outs
don't like the "ins"-a story which has had counter
part ever since Cain and Abels time. Some dissatisfied
Republicans and some Democrats who hope 10
profit by Republican dissatisfaction, sought TO
make head against Messrs. Cameron, Covode, and
Others who we're supposed to be influential in the matter
of Pennsylvania appointments. Hence the call OF this
meeting 1t was expected Mr. Cameron would be here,
and give an account Of his stewardship IL was ex-
pected Mr. Covode would be here and tell all he knew
and more too about how Shocks was appointed watch

ETERNAL LEAP YEAR.-Among the
Cossacks Of the Ukraine leap year is cter-
nal. When a young lady feels tender
passion for young man, she seeks him at
the residence of his parents, and addresses
him as follows: The goodness | SEQ written
in your countenance is sufficient assurance
to me that you are capable Of ruling and
loving wife, and your excellent qualities
encourage me to hope that You will make
a good husband. 1t is in this belief that /
have taken this resolution to come aud beg
you, with all due humility to accept me for
your spouse. She then addresses the "a,
ther and mother, and solicits their consent
to the marriage, If she meets with 10.
fusal she declines to leave the house, and
such conduct is usually crowned with suc-
cess. The parents of the young maa new
er put the young maiden away, if abe
still persists in staying, believing BY 50 do
ing they would bring down the Vengeance
Of heaven Upon their heads.

kg The Bremen vessel Gazette was cap
tured in the Chinese seas few weeks ago
by pirates, who after dismantling the ship
left her. The German man-of.war
Hrtha, having learned of the outrage, at
once started in pursuit Of the Chinese pi-
rates. The man-of-war and the junk were
soon side by side, and after short struggle
the pirates were overpowered and put in
irons. The Hcrtha then proceeded to
Hongkong, but did not enter the harbor,
for had she done so, it would have been
necessary to hand over the prisoners to the
English authorities. Word was sent to
the German Consul, however, and he was
taken in boat to the Hertha, which there
upon put to sea again. Once out upon the
high seas, the pirates were tried, the Con-
sui acting as judge. The testimony showed
the prisoners guilty of piracy, and they
were therefore condemned to be hanged to
the yard-arm. The Chinese have no great
er respect for the rights of Germans than
the Spaniards in Cuba have for the rights
Of Americans.
