years old. has been completely cured of that nor
rible disease, ScroluIa, which for years rendered
life q torment: after all medicines and many
physicians had been tried, and failed, | con-

almost every day for three months, constantly
improving. She has now entirely recovered.

In alluding to the gossip that the Emperor of
Russia keeps a spy here in addition to and indie
pendent OF the regular and recognized en-
bassy, Don Piatt says:
I" Now what in the Old Scratch the Russian
government needs of a spy In Washington
tothers the will and confounds the understand
ing. Ii that well-iced despotism will subscribe
for The EVENING STAR, &2 per annum, a
year, and read the same, 1t will get more in
formation in week than a spy could gather in
year"
Don is all right as to the merits of TIE STAR
as newspaper, but he does US great injustice
when he comes to speak ofits cost to subscribers
IL may not make much difference to the Car Of
all the Russias, but it is worth something to the
sovereigns Of this country to know that its price
Is only s. per annum- What led Don into the
error, we suppose, Is the fact that he couldn't
see how so good paper could be furnished for
less figure than he named.

We see that considerable newspaper attention
Is being given to the statements made by Mr.
Hersdon in regard to the religious views of
President Lincoln, and a good deal of testi-
mony Is brought out to disprove the Herndon
theory tbs held that the fatalstic views as
cribed to Mr.. Lincoln by Mr.. Herndon, are suf-
nciently eontradicted by the circumstance that
when about leaving his home to enter upon his
duties Is President, he humbly implored, As Is
wen known, An interest In the prayers OF his
townsmen, neighbors and friends. that he might
be divinely assisted In the discharge of his most
responsible duties. Moreover, ft is stated by
those who knew Mr.. Lincoln intimately. "a aid
Bishop Simpson, for example, that Mr.. Lincoln,
religious views underwent a considerable
change in connection with the death of his little
Willie.

Some Of the sensation mongers affect to see a
war cloud rising in the distance between this
country and Mexico, on account of the general
and persistent violation Of the United Stairs
revenue laws along the Mexican frontier, which
offences are connived at by Mexican officials.
and complaints of which have been made to the
Mexican government 30 far without avail. That
the offences are committed is well established.
and that they should be winked at by any gov
eminent under as deep obligation to another as
Mexico Is to this country Is simply infamous; still
we do not think the subject rises to the dignity
OF cdnsns teui. 1t Is likely, however, that
steps Will be taken to stop the llicit business
without much farther delay.

Between The publishing house, of Fields. o.

Between The publishing houses of Fields. os-
good & Co, the Harpers, and Appleton & Co.,
the public is going to have a pretty fair chance
at Dickens new story. The first named publish
1t from advance sheets in their new weekly,
Erery Saturday, while the two others furnish II
gratuitously as supplement to their popular
papers, the Weekly AMI JewnaI, respectively
This sharp competition comes, Ia one Of the n
stances at least, from bad feeling, which grew
mp sometime ago on account OF the publication
by F., o. & Co. and the Harpers Of the same
English work, rather than from pure and I'M
selfish desire to furnish the country with reading
matter for nothing. Still, the effect on the pub
lie Is the same. 1t gets the latest work of the
greatest living romance writer in a very attrac-
tive form free of cost.

"A DEMOCRAT on THE STAND. The Penn
sylVania Legislature being pretty extensive
ly engaged in the interviewing business,
this session, the editors of the Philadelphia
Sunday Murcatry, Democratic, in their is
sue Of February 9th, refer to the subject in
a rati er jocular strain, and make some sug-
gestions that might, perhaps, be proftably
improved by that erudite body before its f.

cu'y tell its own story. 1t says:
"A Committee has been appointed by our
honorable Legislature for the purpose of in
teryiewing, and have had before them the
past week the late State Trea .1rer. We
believe, however, that if the Legislature
were interviewed, far greater amount of
fraud and corruption would be developed
than will ever be brought out by the exami-
nation Of all the State Treasurers for the
past twenty years. We believe in keeping
sharp lock out after all officials, particular

PCGILIsTIC.-Th use of carnal weapons
is no novelty in religious warfare. From
the days of the Patriarchs to the present
tine they have been regarded as rather
impressive ''argum ent'' in sectariap COM
bats. Thus, for instance, in Hudibras ref
erence is made to certain ''erraat saints"
who attempted to
prove their doctrines orthodox
by arostaIic blows and knocks"
And now we hear Of case, a little rare in
its order, which recently occurred at Louis
vile, Kentucky. 1t seems that young
man named Price, had been elected deacon
of church contrary to the wishes of his
mother. She resolved to displace him.
Trying persuasion and failing to achieve
her object, she concluded to rt sort to a pub
lie exhibition which should disgrace the
osacon elect. On Sunday she visited the
ehur. h where her son was officiating, and
calling him to the door she cowhided him
unmer ,ifully. Of course this created such
disturbance as ended in confusion worse
confounded. The son procured the arrest
o. his irale maternal parent. and the justice
held her in $500 bonds to keep the peace,
and eschew cowhiding deacons for the space
six months. She gave the requisite securi-
ty, but declared that her recreant son
couldn't live in them parts lii he had
/ armed some sense. -
