Rough ON ArneU.

Washington correspondent of the New
York Democrat touches mp" in the follow
ing brief but pointed style, the recent
effort of Mr.. Arnell in behalf of female
clerks and other female employees:
= Mr.. Arnel, of Tennessee, who, in lack
of other qualifications, has earned the title
of ''town-bull," has introduced a resolu-
ton that hereafter all female clerks and
employees engaged in any of the Depart
ments of the Government, shall receive
the same pay as male clerks and employees
of the same class performing the same
labor. The best of this is the simple fact
that it is as much as he can do to write his
own name, and he knows more about "a
sole of leather" than anything else. If
reading and writing were qualification for
membership to the House Of Representa-
tives he would have a hard cline to chalk. 5"

The cost of upholding royalty in Europe
is estimated at about $40, 200, 900 in gold
yearly. The most expensive monarch of
all is the Emperor of Russia, who gets
IS, 500, 900 gold yearly. The Emperor of
France costs 81, 900, 600 year. The Sui
tan of Turkey, Sc, 800, 900. The other
European monarchs get very moderate
pay compared with these sums.
Austria pays for the support of the
Hapsburgs s., 600, 900 year; Italy pays
for her monarch, S., 200, 900; Prussia
pays ~, 400, 900; and England pays Queen
Victoria 81, 350, 900. Among the cheaper
royalty Bavaria is the dearest, at 81, 900, =
600; then comes Portugal with 1865, 600;
Holland with 100000; Norway and
Sweden $500, 900; Denmark with $24O,-
600; Wurtemberg with 81, 900, and the
Pope with $4,000 per annum. These
sums hardly represent fraction of the
cost of the European monarchies. To
give the proper figures we should have to
include the cost of the various standing |
armies and thousand other minor ex-
penses unknown to republics.

ATeacher kIndIy Remembered.


When the worthy and highly esteemed
Superintendent of one of the public schools,
| not very remote from the Hines Building,
| went into the schoolroOm yesterday morn
| ing for the purpose of renewing weeks
labor In teaching the young idea things I'M
| pOrtant to be learned, he was astOnished
to find that the postman had left him
an immense number of letters, His table
literally groaned beneath the heap of postal
| favors, and for Just one moment the
| Superintendent wondered to what par
| ticular circumstance he was in
| debted for the sudden and weighty in
| crease of his correspondence. But, sud
| denly remembering that it was st. Valen-
| tine day, he ceased to wander at the large
number of letters addressed him, and cor
rectly guessed the various sources from
| whence they came-the miniature ladies'
and gentlemen of the room over which he
especially presides. There on the table
before him lay a vast heap of letters
| enough to fill halfbusheI measure, at least
all bearing his name, on envelopes Of all
sorts, sizes and colOrs. The superintend-
ent knew too well the youthful friends
from whom these letters or valentines
came to infer for moment that any or
either of them contained any expression Of
disregard or unkindness towards himself
But then he was too busy to examine their
contents, and quietly intimated that lie
would not in future have time to do so.
Some of the girls and boys, intimate, how
ever, that school was no sooner out than
he began a careful examination Of the
aforesaid papers, and was vastly amused
at the pictures of some and greatly edited
by the beautiful and heartfelt sentiment Of
others. They contend that curiosity Is
common to human nature, and if the Su-
perintendent did not open and read every
one of the valentines received by him yes
terday, he has done more than they could
or would attempt to do. But the truth
about the matter Is that these and other
valentines received by teachers have been
carefully laid aside for inspection at some
time when there is more leisure for such
pleasant recreations.

GEORGIA WASHINGTON.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette writes
Bullock, in his attempts to carry the
State of Georgia on his back with only
such assistance as could be obtained
from the BlOdgett delegation he brought
here with him, has made such fiasCO Of
it that he left here this morning in disgust
for the South, having virtually abandoned
the field. Few men ever received worse
handling in contest than he has at the
hands of an indignant and deceived Judi
Ciary Committee in connection with what
has been represented and misrepre-
scented by him regarding the recon
struction of Georgia, and the manipula-
tions by which, in connection with
Terry, the Legislature of that State has
been purified" The committee caught
Bullock in so many direct falsifcatiOns
and palpable evasiOns and contradictions
that at last his credit went down below
zero, and several Of the members gave
him TO understand that they placed no re-
lance on anything he said. The commit
tee had appointed tomorrow for a final
hearing to the Bullock party, and had
given them notice to be ready to answer all
the charges proven against them of pecu-
lation, of unlawful procedures, and of
wilfully dishonorable courses in connec-
ton with the official management of the
affairs of the State
The thing was too hot for Bullock and
he has fled, and left his companion,
Blodgett, TO fight it through in the best
way he can. In the meantime, Miller
and Hill, confident in the righteousness
of their cause, wait with patience the
final decision of the committee as to their
claim to the seats in the Senate, given
them by the votes of the Georgia Legis-
lature. These gentlemen have, since
their arrival here, conducted themselves
with dignity of demeanor and an honest
frankness and fairness towards their OPP
pOnents that have won for them the
respect of persons of all parties with
whom they have been brought in contact.

Fatal Friendship.
The unpopularity Of Juarez has been
augmented by his extraordinary outlay in
entertaining Mr.. Seward, and by the suspi-

be able TO retain his power longer than four
