A Story of Offenbach.

The peculiar feature of nearly all of
Jean Jacques Offenbach's operettas, is
the ridicule which he casts on petty
German princes in them. His hatred
of these grand-dukes, ETC., is said to
have arisen in the following manner
Years ago, after he had written his
" Orpheus,'' during his travels in Ger
many, he stopped at small place in
German grand-duchy...He had no sooner
arrived at the door of his hotel than he
was received by the burgomaster of the
place, who assured the maestro that he
and the citizens felt deeply fattered by
his presence in their town. Offenbach,
who is very vain man, received this
tribute, which he ascribed to his merits
as a composer, with gracious condescen-
sion and he noticed, not without salts
faction, that the citizens assembled
during the daytime in large numbers in
front of the hotel, and serenaded him
shortly after nightfall. Next day, how
ever, he perceived that no one took any
notice of him, and he was not little
mortified when one of the walters at the
hotel told him, laughing; ooh, sir, our
burgomaster is perfectly beside himself
with modification over the mistake he
made yesterday. He took you for our
new grand-duke, who was expected here
yesterday, and who did not arrive until
to-day. And it is so funny, you see, our
new grand-duke is very fat man, and
you are SO lean p Fifteen minutes
afterward Offenbach left the town in
disgust.

Darling Kathleen.

wonder if any wine ever was made
AS red as the lips of my love?
/ wonder If any eyes ever Knocked
The blue of the heavens above.
As the soul-lighted eyes of my darling Kath-
leen.
The bonniest maiden that ever was seen?
wonder if tresses eer grew quite so brown,
Or had so bewitching curl.
Or shone in the sunlight so golden and brown,
Ger the brow of a true hearted girl,
As shades the white brow of my darling Kath-
leen,
The bonniest maiden that ever was seen?
wonder if ever form more divine
Disported mid bowers of love,
or hoated with space-spurning wings through the
air,
With angels of light up above.
As the ravishing form of my darling kathleen.
The benniest maiden that ever was seen?
wonder if ever womanly breast
" as rarer or fairer to view.
Or covered heart that was freer from guile.
Or beat with a passion more true.
Than the snoWy-whi tie breast OF my darling kath-
leen,
Tde bonniest maiden that ever was seen?
| wonder if ever passion-dewed kiss
Was given by warm lips to man.
That seemed more foretaste of heavenly bliss
Or was more to be coveted than
a warm, loving kiss from the lips of Kathleen,
The benniest maiden that ever was seen?

Painless Killing.

Since men of eminent learning have
come to the belief that a head, after
being severed from body, retains con-
seriousness, and suffers exquisite agony
for some hours, it is meet that this same
question should be decided in relation
to hanging. 1t is difficult to see why
the reasoning in the former case does
not apply with even greater force to the
latter, inasmuch as the axe instantly
destroys all connection between body
and head, while the rope merely weak
ems this connection. If anything can
kill instantly, it is the Spanish instru-
ment of the garrote, in which the turn
of screw sends sharp steel rod into
the spinal cord. Humanity demands
that the punishment of crime should
not be eedlessly severe. If we wisely
decide to Kill, we should kill as quickly
and painlessly as may be. To do this,
the garotte seems far preferable to any
mode of execution yet discovered-pro-
vided it be true that the head endures
pain after severance from the body.

And sister Brown-I could but look
She sits right front of me:
She never was no singin' book,
An never went to be:
But then she al'ays tried to do

An Deacon Tubbs-he all broke down.
AS one might well suppose;
He took one look at Sister Brown,
And meekly scratched his nose.
He looked his hymn book through and through
And laid it on the seat,
And then a pensive sigh he drew.
And looked completely beat.

He didn't even rise;
But draw ed his red bandanner out

I bid farewell to every fear,
And boldly waded in.

An tried with all my might;
But though my voice is good an strong,

When they were high. then I was low.
An also contrawise;
And I too fast, or they too slow.

For it was never mig desire

majority in Illinois Is about $4,000, with
twelve Republican members to Congress.
Page and Clayton (Rcpublcans) are elected
to Congress from California. One hundred
and forty precincts outside of San Francisco
give Grant GEO majority. Both parties
claim Louisiana, though the Liberals regard
their success nS almost certain by 10000.
Florida is also claimed by both parties by
small majority. Indications exist of 10000

Greeley runs behind the State ticket in
Flo,ida.
Those who have convcrsed with President
Grant and his most intimate friends in Wash.
ingtou during the past month will remember
that they uniformly predicted such result
Of the Presidential election as has Just oc-
CURED. They seemed to possess data from
gentlemen in different parts Of the country
which justified them in their hopes and pros
poets now fully realized.
The President received to-day calls of con-
graduation i'll addition to numerous tcle-
grams of greeting. He expressed his thanks
TO his guests for their manifestations of
friendship, and, apart from the political
issues involved, was gratified that the people
had Vndicatcd his private character, which
had cen assailcd during the canvass.
That there will be at least one change IN
the Cabinet at the commencement of the
next presidential term there is no question.
II is known that Secretary Fish has repeat
cdly expressed his wish 10 be relieved from
the position Of secretary Of State. This de-
sire will be gratified 1T the eud of the pre-
sent term. There is no probability of
change of the Acknowledgement. Judge
Williams recently remarked to friend that
although he could have been elected United
States Senator from Oregon he declined be-
ing q candidate in order that he might re-
main III his present Office.
There is good reason for stating that any
Iemarks with regard to the other members
Of the Cabinet would he mere speculation,
but it may be said that the commissions Of
all Of them will expire at the close of the pre-
sent term, thus ncc"s>itatns new commits
sions TO their sewing as Cabinet officers af-
ter the iih of March next. 1t is too early
10 anticipate the Presidents action in the fu-
tuvc concerning reforms and measures of
administration further than this inimation
to-day, that he will endeavor to so shape his
ofi,l conduct as to meet the expectations
| o: the country and to unite the people i'll
stronger bonds Of peace, while by all means
in his power promoting their welfare at
| home and abroad.
