Gov. Davis, of Texas, who was recent
ly indicted for being concerned in cleo
ton frauds in that State, is published as
U fugitive from justice by the Austin
Statesman. It is said that he pledged
himself to the United States Marshal to
present himself at court when the day
OF trial cnme, although he refused to be
arrested; but on mature deliberation he
thought it better to leave the State. He
has probably gone to see tho President
and procure the removal of the United
States Marshal who had tho audacity to
serve writ upon him. He is an earnest
partisan OF Gront, and certainly has as
much claim upon his consideration as
Clayton, Of Arkansas. The President
removed two prominent United States
oflicinls for attempting to bring that
bold violator of law to justice, and he
cannot we'll refuse Davis q single head if
he asks it.

THE IICHDORNE COSTS. reuttoll
of the TichbOruo estate is upward of
ZIG, 600 year. Assuming that tho trinl
has cost G2O0. 900, this could be easily
raised at Tour per cent. on tho pro-
pcrty, and the interest payable there
upon would represent half tho income.
The present baronet being minor, who
VIII not b9 of age for many years, would
probably only be allowed 81. 900 q year
Tor cdncationul and other expenses, so
that by tho timo bo attuins his majority,
the property will have fully recovered
the costs caused by 1.-The cluimant."

The fastest horse in tho world, SO it is
said. is the English horse Sterling. Pri.
vatc letters have been received here an
nouncing that that famous horse will be
shipped for America, and be entered fer
the Monmouth cup Mt Long Branch this
season. His competitor will be Mr..
Harper'a Longfel!ow. Mr.. Harper re-
solved that his famons horae should

consented to hnvo him entered for the

regarded as especially favorable to Long
fellow. IIorscmen believe that with
that distance he can beat the world. Col.
Tom Scott has agreed to run an express
train from Hnrper's stables in Kentucky
to Long Branch without change of cars.

A New York telegram says that the
celebrated court house plasterer, Garvey,
when not on tho witness stand, keeps
himself in seclusion. He has been
served with complaint in tho suit of
tho board of supervisors against the

tor tho recovery of the citys money was
commenced. It is said that Garvey will
bring suit to recover some $40, 900 for
plastering tho metropolitan Hotel,
against Wm. NJ. Tweed. as the explosion
against Tammany did not enable Garyey
to cover tho expenses of that job into

If YOU would save your brOoms from
wearing out so fast, follow plan which
has been tried and you will ind your
brooms will last Just tUicG as long, AS
soon as a new one is purchased, make a
hole in the handle near the top and tie
strong cord through it, making loop Py
which you may hang the broom up. Make
it rule and enforce it, that as soon as
any one is through using the broom 1t shall
be hung up OH certain nail in conve-
nient place assigned to it. BY following
these simple directions you will prove the
truth of these suggestions.
To CEMENT GLASS OR CHINA.-Take
white lead, the thick portion which adj
heres around the sides of a paint keg,
spread smoothly on the edges, unite the
pieces, and tie together to keep in place.
Lay away in dry place and do not use
for two or three weeks.
REMEDY FOR CAKED BREASTS hops
in good lard until the strength is out, and
bathe the breast with the resulting salve,
three or four times day. 1t has never
failed to relieve my sufferings.-A Mother
of ten children.
A COOP HEALING SALvE.-Take of
rosin, beeswax and CASTLE soap, one part
each two parts mutton tallow three of
lard dissolve all slowly together. This
salve is used great deal by people here,
who prefer making such articles them
selves to paying five times what they are
worth. For my part, l could not do with
out it in the family. For a cut joint,
Orleans molasses or syrup never Sor-
ghum) should be used instead of the tai
low and lard.-W. S. G.
REMEDY FOR NERVOUS HEADACHE
Can YOU or any of your correspondents
give a remedy for the terrible suffering
with which [ am often afflicted, called
nervous headache?o So asks Susan 2.
Fellows, of the Rural NetO Yorker. We
have seen the following recommended as a
sure cure, but never have tested it: "Take
a desert spoonful of common soda, such as
is used in making bread, and dissolve 1t
thoroughly in quart of cold water; with
this thoroughly shampoo the head for
about five minutes, scratching the skin OF
the head and the back of the neck well
with the finger nails; then rinse the head
with clean cold water" II any of our
readers do test it and it proves effective,
| will they not inform us?
BEAN SOUP.-With all thy dinner get
| ting get soup. Get into the habit Of hav-
| ing it. Soup is to dinner what an an
| them is to divine service. 1t is not hall
| the trouble that inexperienced hOusekeep-
| ers imagine it may be. Only little is re-
Guired on which to begin dinner. When
once in the way of having it, regularly
you will appreciate the convenience O
soup stock, and value it equally with pre-
pared fruits. To make bean soup, clean
| the beans over night, pour boiling wa
| ter over them and let them stand unit
morning. Then place in plenty of fresh
water and put over the fire; add a small
piece of corned beef with half as much
pork; cover tight and skim as needed
When the beans are partially cooked, add
sliced carrot, parsley, celery and pepper
boil slowly until done; strain into tureeI
and cover,

NEW YORK.

New YORK, March 3.-Stokes coun-
eel are we'll satisfied with the decision
of the court, yesterday, sustaining the
validity oftbe indictment found against
Stokes by the late grand jury. 1t al
lows an appeal on this point, which,
with his trial, it is estimated will pro
long the life Of the prisoner at least
two years, even if he be condemned at
last.
At a late hour last night the stables
of Thomas Reilly, Ais West Thirtieth
street, caught fire, and Moses Jackson
a lad OF twelve years was burned to
death.
Another highway robbery occurred
this morning. Frederick Brookhardt
was attacked by gang Of ruttians' IN
Hester street, and was beaten and
robbed. The thieves escaped.
The Irish societies OF Brooklyn met
in convention to-day, and decided upon
celebrating St. Patrick's Day by a
grand procession.
Rev. Mr.. Hepworth preached again
to-day, at Steinway Hall, to an i'm,
mense audience. One hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars have been
already subscribed for his new church.
The mangled body Of an unknown
man was found in the machinery OF the
ferry Loaf Newark this morning. Dur
ing the storm on Saturday evening
many passengers took refuge in the
engine room, and it is thought the
deceased became entangled in the ma
chinery and was killed.

to the favor Of the people. In 1869,
Mr.. Buckalew, member OF the U. >.
Senate from Pennsylvania, was per
mitted TO bring in bill entitled "A
bill to amend the representation OF the
people in Congress, and it met with
much favor. The main object was to
introduce the plan of the cumulative
vote" into the Federal elections. 1t is
easy to see the immense advantages
which would result in favor Of an equal
and just distribution OF representation
in the Federal Congress, should the
plan be adopted in the election OF those
representatives. The Cincinnati En-
qldrer has been foremost in its earnest
recommendation Of the plan, and the
chief Democratic organ o: West Nir-
giuia, the REGISTER, at Wheeling, has
spoken in unqualified favor OF it But,
sir, apart from all considerations Of
policy, its political justice is sufficient
reason why every statesman should at
once wish to see it Incorporated into our
system. Sir, We need not be afraid OF
any evil consequences resulting from
justice. tits only injustice that is dan
gerous. 1t would be easy to show not
only that no evil could come from
the workings OF this principle,
but that many and the most salutary
advantages would necessarily result.
But will not now push the discussion
further than 10 say that the principle
could in no way interfere with the just
democratic rule of the government by
the majority. Under the plan, the par
ties could be proportionaliy represented
each would return a number Of Senators
in proportion to their party strength,
and the one having the greater number
OF votes would have proportionately
greater number OF members in the
actual legislation Of this branch OF the
State Legislature. II the Democrats
had the majority OF the votes they
would have a majority OF the Senators.
The opposing party, therefore, could not
control the legislation but thev would
have a respectful hearing, and by their
influence greatly modify and influence
the excesses OF overgrown party majori
ties. But as | said, hope the propo'
sition will he withdrawn for the present
that members NAV give more reflection
to the matter, and | therefore desist
from further arguments, which | pro-
pose to offer at another time, when,
with the concurrence OF the honorable
member from Harrison (Mr. WILSON,
and other friends OF the measure, ]
shall propose that the question OF its
adoption shall, as was the case in Hi.
nois, he submitted 10 special vote OF
the people.
After some further discussion Of
general nature the proposition was
withdrawn and the committee proceeded
with the report. Quill.
