1T is said that the smallpox now raging in
Philadelphia was brought there IN oa!es oI
buffalo robes taken rom the PieSan camps.
THE full extent of the horror OF Chicago
will probably never be known, but as meh s
minds are gradually calming down they are
beuinnipc to discover that the loss OF lie was
even more serious than has yet been dis
covered. Distracted friends are LOOKING
around in all directions for friends who Will
never again respond to iDq4iries, and VINO are
Needless of the search for them. Long lists OF
he missing are gwen in the Chicago papers.
While the editor of the New York sun
was assistant Secretary of State under MI
Stanton, he rendered General Grant service
of which he reminds him in answering a
charge that he was personally hostile 10 Inc
President. He SAYS: 1--WE have no more per-
sonal hostility against General Grant now
than we had In 1868, when, at Vicksburg, we
saved him from being relieved from his COM
mand and sent back 10 sell sole leather al
Galeua on a salary of $500 year."
There is not any room for doubtihg that
the coming winter is 10 be awlully colu. Inc
prophets all say 30, and the man ls insane
who disputes the prophets. They have found
the moss growing thick ON the trees, frogs
standing ON their heads, sunlowers pointing
toward the North Pole, grape vines running
around poles instead of up them, and There
are thousand other signs to show that every
human being will be frozen as stiff as chip
before February.
"A Washington letter says: 1.-The pardon
of Bowen being alluded to In recent con-
yersa,ion, Akerman said he wanted 1t under
stood that that was not his afair-that Mrs.
Bowen had got Mrs. Grant Ito promise II.
The President was not disposed to carry IT
out, but held 1t back for week, bnt finally
allowed it to issue. There Is going to be an
animated contest over DeLsrge's seat, which
Bowen Is contesting; but from the position al
fairs haua recentlv assnmad-ihere- is very ILL.,
tie doubt of DeLarge's maintaining MS rignt
to his seat The project of running Bowen for
Governor has been entirely abandoned.
The carnet-baggers are trying to disturb
the titles TO .eal estate in New Orleans IN or
der to grab some of the most valuable proper
ty there. A large portion of the real estate in
Louisiana Is held under grants and titles from
the former French aud Spanish Governments.
These titles, under old surveys, have been
held as good, without confirmation oy the
United States; but under some recent act CT
Congress, the provisions Of which are not
generally known in Louisiana, it is claimed
that in all cases where the title has not been
confirmed, or where the surveys cannot be
found in the Land office, the property is pub
lie land, which must be turned over to the
United States, subject to entry under the pro-
visions of the homestead law.
The fruitful subject Of Seneca sandstone
has been found worthy of consideration by the
Washington correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial IN common with many DINER
scribes. After viewing on all sides the rumors
concerning the Presidential sale OF stock, the
correspondent inclines to the belief that Grant
is beginning to be worried somewhat, and is
becoming anxious to cover up or get out of all
his questionable transactions; and that sit
the said stone stock doesn't pay, you may rest
assured the President wants to dispose Of 1t.
Very much like some other men. Brolher'in-
law Dent SAYS that 1t Is all nonsense-the
President will not sell. Wherefore 1t Is to be
logically inferred that the said stock does pay;
and the subject remains In Stdtu quo.
The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Gazstte-perhaps the most uncompro-
missing Democratic journal in the country
writes with reference to tie conferene OF
leading Democrats upon the approaching
Presidential canvass, letter was shown us
to-day from q party manager in Ohio. who
says the conferences is invited to come of in
New York during The latter part of this
month; that much has already been done to-
wards an understanding, through corr espond-
ence; that singularly enough, the most promi-
nent sticklers ior party organization hereto
fore are now favoring coalition of the Demo-
Gratis with Conservative elements outside, and
the nomination Of candidates for President
and Vice President to represent this coalesced
organization"
We have from England an awful instance
OF the demoralizng influence of Mr. Garwin's
monk.y theory upon susceptible aud sensi.
tive mind. A young man, the other day,
drowned himself in The River Eden, at Carlisle.
Before The suicide took the fatal jump, he
handed to an old man packet to be delivered
TO tie chief constable. In this was last let
ter, saying that, as Mr.. Darwin had proved
men to be descended from monkeys, the writer
did not wish TO live any longer. This sensl-
tive youth might have reconcied himself TO
continued existence If he had only been told
that Lis great atgreat-graudfather was hung for
horse-stealing; but 10 be convinced that The
ancestors whom he had always held In pous
reverence were merely monkeys, or chimpan-
ices, or balloons, or gorillas, was more than a
naughty Briton could endure.
The New York Sun says: "IAformation
has reached, us, from. q source entitled TO
credit, that the British Government has been
nerotiating, and has nearly concluded the ne
eotiation, for the purchase of the Atlantic
telegraph cable. The story is confirmed by
tho well known fact that a ring or syndicate
OF London capitalists has lately paid $4,000 for
