On the '27th of last month an extended raid

A CURIOUS STORY.

How Bismarck Charged Interest and Got IL.
A letter from Lombard street in the Pail Mall
Gazette says:-
When the bankers and others went to Versail-
les to pay the money requisitoned in Paris, they
were received by the officials of the Fatherland
with the usual sponges and water for counting
bank notes. Every note having been counted, a
demand was made for half the amount in gold
instead of notes. The answer was made that no
such sum existed in Paris. "Where is it, them"
was the inquiry. SIN the succursales of the
Bank of France" was the answer. "You must
get it, then" 'We can get it in three days if
you will order the trains to be so disposed"
This was done. The gold was procured but at
the close of the transaction three days interest
was charged for the delay in gold payment
which had never been stipulated for. Having
paid, that the bankers asked if anything further
was to be charged? "Yes; you must pay the
stamps for the bills on London" Count Bis
marck was personally present at the close of
this transaction.

A BELIEVER in MORMONISM.
A "Mother in Israeli, In Utah.

The Salt Lake City Neeos says:-"If Mary
Phillips, born in Worcestershire, England, and
dying in Kayswood Utah, in the year 1871, and
the 9Sth of her age, does not deserve the title of
aGmother in Israel, we do not know who does.
She came of Methodist stock, was a member of
Lady Huntingtons church for fifteen years, and
afterwards belonged to the United Brethren
until Mormon missionary converted her in
1910. She emigrated from England in 1874, and
reached Nauvoo just before 10. Smith was shot,
and in time for the persecution of the Mormons
which drove them out into the wilderness. She
had twenty-one children, two of whom were in
Utah at the time of her death, the youngest
ffty-four years of age. She had thirty-ive
grand d-children in the valley and thirty
one great-grand-children. When eighty
two years old she CLEANED over twenty bushels
of wheat and raised thirty bushels of potatoes,
and dug and carried them into her cellar. She
fattened two hogs, and gave good yoke of oxen
the same year to bring the poor from Europe.
She made a will disposing of all the property
she had including some fifteen head of horned
stock to bring her relatives from England to
Utah.

MIR. Brooks and Yesterday's Debate In the

WASHINGTON, March 17.-The remark of Mr..
Brooks, of New York, in the debate in the
House, was not distinctly heard by the reporter.

follows:-"We can show more outrages In the
city of Boston and in the gentlemans own city
of Lowell, than he can show in six of the South
erp States"
The Philadelphia CoIIectorshIp.
Special Despatch to the EOeni',g Telegraph.
The contest over the position of Collector of
the Port of Philadelphia is becoming quite
animated. AS usual, General Cameron wants to
dictate the appointment aud to ignore the Phila-
delphia members in the House. This morning
the Philadelphia delegation called upon the
President, and presented the name of d. p.
Southworth for collector.
The President told them to presenta duplicate
of their letter to Secretary Boutw ell, which they
did. General Grant did not give any indication
which could lead members to understand
whether he was for or against Southworth. SUBJ
sequently General Cameran visited the White
House in company with Secretary Delano.
Messrs. Cameron and DeGno are working
together in the matter. Mr. Cameron opposed
Southworth and urged the President to appoint
man of character and influence to the place.
He named John Tucker as his choice. If
Tucker could not be appointed he would prefer
Marks next. 1t is not known when the appoint
ment will be made.

Mrs. Richardson's Read,nxs.

Although no advertisement was made and no
tickets we're sold at the door, the Upper Library
Hall was far too small to accommodate the audi
ence that gathered to hear Mrs. Abby Sage
Richardson's readings last evening. The audi
ence, which was evidently of more than average
intelligence and respectability, expressed very
hearty appreciation of the lady's talents as an
elocutionist, but were undoubtedly animated by
a strong personal interest besides. Mrs. Rich
ardson is much changed since her former ap-
pearance in this city years ago as public
reader, but with countenance which is not
without the traces of care and struggling, and
which exhibits the maturing influences of
thought and intellectual labor she still retains
many personal attractions. Much of her power
in reading is due to the intelligence and feeling
which lights up the face in the more telling
passages; and her reading of Poe's "Bells" dis
played wonderful mastery of the voice. If
any criticism were necessary 1t might be that
there was too much uniformity of intense ex-
preston, amounting almost to monotony in
