"A Saratoga correspondent of the Boston
Post writes:
Old John Harper is in constant attend

'Ot course it is, was the significant re-
ply.
Let no one suppose for one moment that
this is a sentimental affection of man for

man of business, and the best stroke of
business he ever did in his life was the
raising and training of LongfelloW. When

snail know the price of Longfellow More

bly displaying that qualityin his refusal to
run his horse against time. He will back
Longfellow against any living animal that
may be entered against him. but he utter
ly refuses to put him on the course against
anything so intangible as Lexington's re-
corded time. John Harper is a wise man.

There was murder done in Paris KY,
on election day, in a quarrel which began
in little good-natured railery; young
man named n. II. Alexander, son of a
banker, being instantly killed by G. NJ.
Hibler, clerk of one of the courts. The
former, coming out of the bar room of a
Motel, with several friends, found Mr.. Hit
Ter and others sitting in the doorway, and
putting his hand on his chair, said :" Mr.
Hibler. can you move your chair a little?n
The latter playfully replied: Il think
there is room for you to pass, Mr.. Alex
ander.n The request to move was repeated.
and Mr.. Hibler said: There is room
enough for you to pass. | don't intend to
move" Alexander asked "Can Il Won
take jokes" g Yes cam" replied Hib-
Ter. If you can It take a joke, you can
draw and take your steps," rejoined Alex
ander, and in an instant they both drew
revolvers, and fired almost instantaneous
ly. Four shots were fired, one of which
struck Alexander i'm the breast, killing
him instantly, Hiblerwas not hurt. 6 =

LEGISLATIVE.

In the Ohio Legislature bill was
introduced providing for the election
of Street Commissioners by wards
in cities of the second class. A
resolution was adopted in the House
asking Congress to pass a law to
give all soldiers and sailors who
served in the late war in 1861 and
were disc harged for sickness with
ont bounty before serving two years,
additional pay. A resolution call
ing on Indiana to keep the Wabash
d Erie Canal 5nayigable was also
adopted. A bill introduced to pro-
vide for the inspection of steam
boilers provides for the appointment
of one Chief Inspector and one Lo-
cal Inspector for each Congressional

A LUCKY DATE.

The number 81 seems to be a for
tunate one for the German armies.
On the 9th of September Strasburg
capitulated. On the 9th of Octo-
ber Metz surrendered. On the 9th
of November the Germans achieved
important victories over the Army
of the Loire and the Vosges. On
the 9th of December commenced
the bombardment of Mont Avron
the first of the Partisan forts assail,
ed, and which soon yielded to the
enemy. And now comes the intelli.
gence that on the 9th of January
the terms ofthe capitulation of Paris
were agreed upon. If now, after
the three weeks armistice which
has been arranged, the treaty OF
peace should be concluded on the
9th of February, as is not improba-
BILE, the chain would be complete
Verify, if this was a superstitious
age, the Germans might be expected
to commence all their important en-
terprises on the 9th of the month.
The coincidence, to say the least is
remarkable and note worthy.

DEFEATED.

Mr.. Sumner by his action has de-
feated the effort to improve the pub
lie school system Ct the District of
Columbia. Mr.. Patterson's bill
neither excluded colored children
from white schools, nor compelled
the two races to associate together.
To this Mr.. Sumner objected and
proposed an amendment more in ac-
cordance with his ideas of throwing
open the schools to the general use
of both races. The schools of the
District of Columbia are In a most
wretched condition, and it is to be
regretted that any obstacle has been
thrown in the way of their immedi-
ate improvement, even if everything
that 1lr. Sumner might haved de-
sired was not instantly gained.

CANADA PAPERS REJOICING.

The Canadian papers rejoice over
the joint High Commission on the
fisheries and Alabama questions, and
cordially approve the appointments
made on both sides. The substitu-
ton of Sir Stafford Henry North
cote for Sir John Rose will not
change this favorable opinion, Sir
Stafford was born in London, Octo-
Der 81, 1918, was educated at Oxford,
and called to the bar in 1S4T. He
was several times member of Par
Lament, where he manifested great
interest in art land education. When
Mr.. Gladstone was President of the
Board of Trade he appointed Sir
Stafford his Private Secretary, and
under Lord Derby the latter sue
ceeded to the Presidency. In 1857
he was appointed Secretary of State
for India. He is the author of
Twenty Years of Financial Policy,
lS42-6l," published in 1868.

RECENT DEATHS.

The Cincinnati Gazette says: The
adage that accidents never happen
singly seems to have some truth.
Recently Townsend, Of Sarsaparilla
fame, Radway, of Ready Relief rep
utation, and Swain, the Panacea
proprietor, died within a few days
of each other. Not week ago we
announced the death of Steinway,
the piano maker, and this morning
we publish the news of the death OF
his rival, Chickering. Events and
casualties of similar character ap-
pear to happen in circles and quar-
tet. Quetelet and others have at
tempted to reduce their occurrence
10 science. The attempt may not
have been, and perhaps can never
be successful, but there are indica-
tions Of something like law which
lies behind them.

FROM EUROPE.

Thursday of this week, the 23rd
inst, is the day set for the resump-
tion of hostilities in France, unless
4 peace has been arranged by that
time. The Germans have lost no
time during the arInistice, and at
the announcement that times up"
they will be ready Immediately as,
sumo the offensive. With the knowl-
edge of this fact NJ. Thiers and his
coadjutors are hurrying matters so
as to come to definite understand
without delay. We hope for the
sake of humanity that peace may be
permanently established,

TENNESSEE SAEE.

The announcement of the safe ar
rival of the Tennessee at San Do
mingo, will bring feeling of relief
TO the hearts of all our citizens. 1t
appears that it first Visited Samana
Bay. and was detained there some
six days, and this win account for
the long silence that has filed the
hearts of the people with lear and
anxiety. Now that the relief has
come, it is somewhat amusing to
look back over the dread records OF
some of the Democratic journals,
who made haste to denounce the
President for the disaster fallen on
the Tennessee.

GRAND JURIES ABOLISHED.

Grand Juries in Michigan have
been abolished. The law provides
that the District Attorney shall pre-
sent all crimes for trial by informa-
ton instead of by indictment, and
that no information shall be pre-
Sented except in cases which have
been first examined by Justice OF
the Peace. Should the District At
torney decline to draw an informa-
ton, he is directed to report the
case with the evidence TO the Circuit
Judge. The law further provides
for an arraignment before the Coun-
ty Judge, so that if the defendant
should plead guilty, he may at once
he sentenced, and not be compelled
to lie in Jail awaiting the session OF
the Circuit Court. A similar law
has been introduced into the Wis
consin Legislature.

The Interior Of the Earth-CuriOus
Revelations OfScience.

Among the various papers read
before the British Scientific associa-
ton, was a report from the Tidal
committee of the society. This pa
per contained a number of curious
and interesting speculatiOns with
regard to the degree of elastic yield
ing which the solid earth experiences
under the tide-generatiDg influences
of the sun and moon. 1t is quite
certain that the solid earth does
yield to some degree. It has long
been a favorite assumption with
geOlogists that the earth consists Of a
shell of solid rock from twenty to
fifty miles in thickness, inclosing an
interior filled with melted material,
lava, metals, &c. This hypothesis is
now shown to be absolutel7 untena-
bic, because, if it were true, the
whole crust would yield almost as
much freedom, on account of its thin
ness and the great area, as If it were
perfectly liquid. Thus the boundary
Of the solid earth would rise aud
fall under the tide-generatiug influ-
ences, 60 as to leave no sensible diff
ferences to be marked by the wafer
rising and falling relatively to the
solid showing that IL the earth as q
whole had an average degree OF
rigidity equal to that Of glass the
tide would be very much diminish
ed from the magnitude which tAey
would possess on n perfectly rigid
globe, with water like that OF our
seas upon II. This consideration,
the committee reports makes it pro-
babIe that the earth has cOnsidera-
bly, more average Figidity than a
glass OF the same size. The mathe-
matical calculation shows a some
what startling reAult, 10 the effect
| that a globe Of the same size as the
| earth, II throughout exactly of the
same rigidity as gl1ss on smaller
/ scale, would yield like an India rub
/ Der oalI to 'he tide-geneTating infld,
/ ences, thus leaving very little oppor-
/ iuuiiy for change Ia the relative
/ heights of water and land. The
/ precise agreement of the actual tidal
/ movements with estimates founded
on the supposition Of 4 perfectly
rigid globe, renders it probable thai
the earth Is in reality vastly NOR,
rigid as a whole than any specimens
of surface rock that had been expert
mcnted upon IN laboratories. Dc
( Soule, ten years ago, in speaking
upon this subject, bad suggested tha
probably the great pressure in th,
interior produced in the material
