the people to the best of his ability.

in part to that addressed to the President, in
forming him of his election as Vice President
of the United States, and concluding as fol-
lows. "We take this occasion, while perform
ing this official duty, to congratulate you on the
high honor conferred upon you by the people of

the position assigned him with zeal, yigor and
impartiality. He expressed, too, the hope that
the coming four years would be consecrated by
those entrusted with power to the peace, unity
and development of the country, land that those
in every department of the government might
retire at the close of their official career with
the consciousness of duties well done and with
the approval of the countrymen.

The witness was examined in regard to the
official report of Colgate to the Stock Exchange
relative to the proposition of George A. Bassett,
clerk of the Ways and Means Committee, and
SAID he had no knowledge whatever of it, ex-
cept from report, and casual conversation
with Colgate and Derry. president of the Stock
Exchange. Such proposition was never sub
mitted to the Exchange or the governing COM
mittee of that body which transacts all the bus
mess He asserted in the most positive man
ner that no money had ever been used with the
authority or knowledge of the Stock Exchange
for any corrupt purpose in connection with
legislation, and that there is no general i'm
preston on the part of tie Exchange that val
liable legislation can be obtained in Washing
ton by the use of money. He presented a let
ter written by Johu L. Denney, chairman OF
the law committee of the Exchange, dated Feb.
IA, 1873, stating that Mr. Colgate had always
had distinct instructions that the Exchange
would not consent to any payments being made
for any corrupt purpose, and that if we could
not succeed on the merits of case he was to
use no other means. No payments had been
made by the bureau of claims, excepting Col
gates salary, which was to cover all expenses.

AMADEUS, the ex-King OF Spain, is de-
scribed asa tall of person, very thin, with
an angry look in his eye, and stern
ness quite extraordinary for his age. He
resembles his father very much, but with
look of still greater severity in his
face and he moves and walks like q
drill-sergeant. He has always lived
among his aides-de-camp and officers OF
the army, and cares for little except mill
tary matters. Under his brusque and
naughty manner he conceals the heredi-
tary .j'nesse and shrewdness of the house
of Savoy and it's ambition also, as was
proved when he exchanged his name for
that of King of Spain. There is some
thing in him which reminds one OF Philip
1.-THE thick Austrian lip, the long
form; only the eye of Philip seems al
most vacant and dead, while those OF
Amadeus are restless and brilliant.

RELIGIOES EdNdTICISM.

A strange case of religious monomania
has occurred in Leicestershire, En-
gland Some weeks ago the Rev. w.
March, formerly the curate of Melton
Mowbray, returned to Melton from an
excursion to Ireland, and stopped at the
house of friend named Anderson. The
next morning Anderson was reused
from his sleep by March with the request
to pick out his right eye. On accom-
panying March, Anderson found that
his friend had chopped off his right
hand and was just attempting to pick
out his right eye. Two physicians were
called in, who amputated the arm, which
was shocklngly mutilated. During the
operation March displayed the utmost
self-possession, and complimented the
doctors on their skill. Near him on a
table lay prayer-book and a Bible, the
latter of which was turned up at the
passage, eff thy right arm offend thee,
cut it off, etc.
