mUTILATED AND FItTHY NOTES.

Everybody knows that the nation
al bank note currency is in fearful:
ly and dangerous filthy condition,
and indeed the greenback currency
is little better. The whole batch
needs renewal, and but for diferen-
ces between the Treasury and the
banks as to which should be at the
expense, would have been more gen.
orally renewed long ago. The bet
ter class of national banks have been
renewing as fast as mutilated bills
of their OWE issue were returned to
them; but, scattered over the whole
Union as these bills are, the progress
in renewal is slow. Preparations
for the work, however, as authoriz-
ed by Congress, have been commenc
ed, and we may now reasonably
hope for some good results visible
An appropriation by Congress ol
5000, 600 will be likely to keep the
purpose in mind until accomplished
Of the national bank notes, the bills
of the smaller denominations-fves,
tens and twcnties-will be first prin'
ted, and will probably occupy some
three months Of time in the prepara
tion.-Phild. Ledger.

F0RcIeLE REASONING.

The Binghamton Republican sub
mits the following: The plea OF
Charles O'Conor that there was nc
proof which of young walworth's
four shots were fatal, and the jury
must, therefore, acquit him, is not
original. 1t is based on the argu
ment ofthe Western lawyer, whose
client shot another mans dog. "You
hcv heern, gentlemen of the jury" )"
said the eloquent advocate, "You
hev heern the witness swar he saw
the fash and heered the report, you
hev heern him swar he saw the dog
fall dead, You hev heern him swal
he dug the bullet out with his jack
knife, and you hev seen the bullet
produced in court; but whar gentle.

AMUSING.

When will the democracy get set
tied, upon some new or old policy?
They are aware that soon arrange
ments must be made to enter into a
new political canvas, but how to pre-
pare for it is the puzzle. There are
those who think the bargain with
che Liberals ended with the presi-
dental canvas, and others who i'm
agine the partnership to be still ex
listing. Some favor return to the
old habits and ideas of the Democ-
racy, and others are striving to get
up new departure. Out of it all
comes the suggestion that a party
30 dreadfully uncertain as to its
faith and policy, had better make
short work of 1t by disbanding alto
gether. 1t is very amusing, when
we the think of the past record and
the present uncertainties of the Dem
ocratic party, to see with what vim
the journals of that faith denouce
and belabor the Republicans.

THE GOODRICH MURDER.

The confession of the miserable
woman who murdered Goodrich. in
Brooklyn, contains commentary on
the wretched life led by certain
class in large cities, that ought to
serve as a warning to those not al
+ ready entrapped. But such warn
ings have been repeatedly given, and
are little needed. This woman is
the daughter of respectable parents,
who reside in Massachusetts. They
have been very evidently solicitous
for her welfare, and could have fur
nished her home. She was prob.
ably in New York Of her own choice
Here she met Goodrich, a man of
bad character, evidently, and after
living with her for time, he delib-
erately informed her of his purpose
to cast her of. According to her
story she begged him not to do so,
but as certaining that he was fixed
in his purpose, shot him. This is a
crime which only needs the bloody
accessories to find its counterpart in
thousands of cases, in large cities.
That girls are often wayward and
uncomfortable is doubtless true :
bnt it is equally true that parents
are blamable who premit their
daughters to go, unattended and un-
cared for, into large cities for en-
ployment. Admitting the truth o.
the story of the unfortunate girl.
who occupies a murderer's cell at
the Tombs, there is much to be said
in mitigation Of her crime. There
is, we believe, other evidence to
prove that Goodrich was heartless
betrayer,and little sympathy will be
expended on him. That the mur-
der was committed in frenzy, be.
cause of his announced purpose to
abandon her, is probably true.

The Elevated Railway is to be
used in New York by the office
to transport the mails to and from
the upper sections of the city.
There are to be eighteen mails sent
daily each way by this line, which.
it is said, will considerably facilitate
business. The transportation OF
the mails between the General Post
Office and its outlying stations is
greatly interfered with by the crowd
ed streets and consequent slow To-
comotion, which this plan will, to a
certain extent, relieve.
A Hound was chasing a fox, near
Laurel Hill, North Carolina, a few
days since, when the latter, being
tightly pressed, took refuge in a
hollow log, entrance into which it
affected at knot-hole. The dog
coming, up and finding that the
the fox had gotten into the log
thrust his head into the knot-hole
after the fox, and got his head fast
therein. Being unable to extricate
himself, the dog died, and the fox,
being cut off from the only avenue
of escape from the log, likewise per-
ished, both of them, evidently, hay
ing died of starvation.

FoRT KLAMATH, OREGON, July 10,
ria YREKA, CALIFORNIA, July.-The
Military Commission for the trial OF
the Modocs implicated in the mas,
sacre of General Candy and Peace
Commissioner Thomas concluded its
labor yesterday. The evidence for
the prosecution was of the most pos
ltive character, leaving no doubt OF
guilt on the prisoners. The only
witnesses produced fCr the defense
were Scarfaced Charley, Dave, One
Eyed Nose and William. Their ev-
idence amounted to nothing in IA
vor of the prisoners, and was simp-
ly a recital Of what the Llamath Lake
Indians had done and told the Mo-
docs since this trouble commenced.
The only testimony produced by the
prosecution which was no value was
that IF Mr.. Dyar, Indian Agent of
the klamath reservation. He could
swear to nothing positively, except
that he accompanied General Candy
and Peace Commission to the coun
Gil tent. No doubt exists in the
minds of those who listened TO the
trial but that the Commission will
find the Modocs guilty of the charge
and Specifications on which they were
tried. The soldiers and citizens of
the place appear to take lively inter-
est in the trial. The prisoners were
also very attentive, and rely wholly
upon the Commission for justice.

THE SHAH CALLS UPON VICTORIA.
Mark Twain writes from London


as follows:
FRENZY CALL UPON THE QUEEN.
After a days rest the Shah went
to Windsor Castle and called on
the Queen. What that suggests to
the readers mind is this; That the
Shah took a hand satchel and an
umbrella, called cab and said he
wanted to 60 to Paddington station;
that when he arrived there the dri-
yer charged him a sixpence too
much, and he paid it rather than
have trouble; that he triA now to
buy ticket, and was answered by a
ticket seller as surly as hotel clerk
that he was not selling tickets for
that train yet; that he finally got
his ticket, and was beguiled Of his
satchel by a railway porter at once,
who put it in first-class carriage
and got sixpence, which the COM
pany forbids him to receive; that
presently when the guard Tor con-
ductor) Of the train came along the
Shah slipped a shilling into his
hand and said he wanted to smoke
and straitway the guard signifed
that it was all right; that when the
Shah arrived at Windsor Castle he
rung the bell, and when the girl
came to the door
ASKED HER IF THE QUEEN WAS AT HOME
and she left him in the hall and
went to see; that by and by she re-
turned and said would he please sit
down in the front room and Mrs.
Guelph wonld be down directly;
that he hung his hat on the hat
rack, stood his umbrella up in a
corner, entered the front room and
sat down on a hair cloth chair;
that he waited and waited and got
tired; that he got up and examined
the old piano, the depressing litho-
graphs on the walls and the album
Of photographs of faded country re-
lations on the center table, and was
Just about to fall back on the family
Bible when she entered briskly and
begged him to sit down, and appol-
ogized for keeping him waiting, but
she had just got a new girl and ev-
erything was upside down, and so
forth and so on; but how are the
family and when did he arrive, and
how long should he stay and why
didn't he bring his wife. knew
that that was the picture that would
spring up in my American readers
mind when it was said the Shah
went to visit the Queen, because
that was the picture which the an
nouncement suggested to my own
mind. 2ai g. = '-'
BUT 1T WAS FAR FROM THE FACTS,
very far. Nothing could be further.
In truth, these people made as much
of to do over a mere friendly call as
anybodyelse would over confagra-
ton. There was general muster
of princes and dukes to go along,
each one occupying room forty:
there were regiments of cavalry to
clear the way; railway stations were
turned into towering gardens, shell
tered with flags and all manner of
gaudy splendor; there were multi
tudes of people to look on over the
heads of interminable ranks of po-
licemen standing shoulder to shoul-
der and facing front; there was bray
ing of music and booming of can
non. All that fuss in sober truth,
ovsr a mere off-handed friendly call.
Imagine what it would have been if
he had brought another shirt and
was going to stay a month. n
