The political world shows a lull thi
week, except so far as returns came in
from the Ku-klux committees, showing
even a worse state of things than has
generally been believed, which will have
its influence on both parties. The "new
departure" lags. The democrats as q
whole do not take kindly to it, and as a
consequence their prospects for next year
are not particularly improving at this
time. The fall elections are beginning
to attract some attention, especially in
Maine, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The
two first are pretty surely republican,
and both parties will do well if they can
find out how the latter State has gone
after election.

Nor is there any probability that either

An Insurance Agents Mishap.

Saysa Vermont correspondent Among
the drollest things in travelling, are the
scraps of conversation one catches una
voidably. just listen with me to the fol-
lowing, between two stylish looking girls
who sat just opposite me while we were
waiting for the train at White River June

but he wears false teethp smiling and
showing her own mouth full of natural
pearls.-"Well, what if he has? False
teeth are better than none, that is, if they
keep in the place they are destined to
fill. Ha ha!-laughing musically.-
That reminds me, did | ever tell you,
cousin Hates adventure when she was
staying with us, when papa kept the N
hotel? There was an insurance agent
boarding at the house-a very fiippant,
voluble kind of a fellow, a tremendous

en- children down country, and tremen.
dous bore, as all agents are, trying to
make themselves so familiar and agree
able that they are a positive nuisance.
Kate, you know, is very handsome, an
he got sight Of her as we went out and
in, and was determined to make heI &C.
quaintance but it was never quite con-
venient for papa to bring him in and in
troduce him. But at last he managed to
find out our breakfast hour, and used to
come in at the same time for his own, in
stead of eating with the rest of the board
ers. We were terribly annoyed, but could
not very well help ourselves, and so laid
it all to Kate, and had what fun out of it
we could. One morning he came in and
took a seat by Kate as usual, and COM
menced to talk, and bless ME how he
could talk All he had to do was to open
his mouth, and he opened it little wi
der than usual as he said, Good morning

morning, Miss Kate-ahp And out went
his full upper set of false teeth, plump
into Hates coffee. Can you imagine it {?

left the room. We were never troubled

OTHER INCIDENTS.

One of the most pitiful scenes in the
hospital was handsome young woman,
with beautiful golden hair, the side of
her head cut badly, and her arms buised.
This was Mrs. Mary Mccall, aged %,
and wife of a respectable tradesman, re-
siding at 537 West Thirty fifth street.
She had gone out for trip on Staten
Island with her little daughter Mary, a
beautiful child, two years and four months
old, and intended to ride out to Rich
mond on the steam cars in Staten Island.
She was blown into the air, and fell be-
tween some timbers. Her beautiful
child was found by the police terribly
scalded IN the wreck and ruin of the
main deck. The child lay in a bed near
by. 1t was fatally burnt and scalded.
The skin was parched completely off
the poor little face, and through her
blackened lips, the child lisped: MAN
my, nanny, won't you come and kiss
little Mary; she's so sick" The poor
mother crawled to the bed, and bending
down her lips met those of her poor child,
and almost instantaneously the burnt
arms of the little girl were raised in the
vain endeavor to clasp them around her
mothers neck. The doctors, hardened
by the sight of constant suffering, wept,

A Coon APPoINTMENT.-Hon Rob-
ert S. Hale, of Elizabethtown, N. Y, has
been appointed the agent or attorney to
present and support the claims on behalf
of the American government against
England, under the treaty of Washing
ton. The claims arising from the st.
Albans raid, is one class of the claims to
be presented. This is position of high
character, and it is a rare compliment
that it has been assigned to Judge Hale
without his solicitation. His previous
preparation and presentation of the
claims of the government, and the abili.
ty displayed by him, indicated his pecu-
liar adaptedness for his work. He has
reason to take just pride in having the
position rendered him. Vermont feels a
pride in her son and New York in her
citizen that he is thus honored.

and many a man of nerve turned away
unstrung at the scene of simple pathos.
An old lady, nearly sixty years Of age
was recognized by group of daughters
and granddaughter, who fell to wild
weepings and lamentations, A daugh-
ter large, strong Irishwoman, cried,
ooh, there's me mother-me poor moth
er me poor mother" and then turning
pteously to the grandchildren, "Oh,
Mary Oh, Catherine, grandmother is
dead Oh. great God" These women
were frantic until their grief had exhaus-
ted them, and then stood together in
group, moaning and sobbing.

= Those who think that the oil wells
of Pennsylvania have played out may be
surprised to learn thar the production of
petroleum in this country is steadily on
the increase. In 1860 we exported but

Terrible Famine in Persia.
THE PEOPLE EATING THEMSELVES,

THE PEOPLE EATING THEMSELVES.
We have news of terrible famine in
Persia, where even hundreds of thousands
of people are perishiug by actual starva.
ton, and the miserable people are forbid
den to leave for other and more favored
lands, by a more miserable government.
Two years ago two million of people died
of starvation in India, and unless the
Persian government consents to emigra-
ton, the mortality must be even larger
among its subjects.
The drouth last year in the Central
and Southern Provinces, and the conse-
quent partial failure Of the crops, caused
great restitution and misery all Winter !;
at the same tine thetaxes were increased
on the people of Laristan, which brought
on a famine, causing numbers of the peo-
pie to leave their homes, and a conse-
quent decrease of taxes to the Govern
or promised to raise not only the usual
sum but still more, and this oppression
drove the rest of the country people from
their homes, aud thronged the cities,
which pay no taxes. The failure of the
crops in Laristan was rendered more dis
astrous because the other provinces,
which mostly raise opium, cotton, and
silk, depended on it for their grain.
The results in Ispahan, Yezd, Kirman,
and Shiraz were terrible by the end of
Winter. Before the new crop the cities
were crowded. Wheat at Kirman rose
nine times its usual price, and starvation
began. Gezd raises opium; and people
could buy no grain, and they ate grass
and roots. In Khorassan, the people
sold their children to the Turcomans to
save their lives; and in other provinces
the people ate their children, having eat
en- all their domestic animals, and even
vermin. In Ispahan, men were caught
digging up corpses to feed their starving
families, and a pestilence in consequence
committed fearful ravages. One.half of
Persia is said to be depopulated.

THE --LATEST DEVICE OF THE Fool
CATCHER The latest device of the fool
catcher is to send bill of about $40 for
repairs to watch said to be worth about
$500, claimed to have been received
from the party to whom the bill is sent.
If the person is green enough the money
is sent and SO is not the $500 watch. OF
course there is no remedy, because the
person who wishes to profit by the "mis-
take" of the jeweler is as dishonest as
the rogue himself. The originator of
this new dodge is the vender of sawdust
packages under pretence of their being
counterfeit money, and, although the
trick is less than two weeks old, one ex.
press company has taken in over fifty
packages of money from the knavish
fools in receipt OF his circulars.
