Obe 0mtes, Mem BLOOMFIELD, aDu,


t8- A very eccentric newspaper man
named James Johns recently died in Stark
borough, Vt. He used to print with his
pen and issue occasionally the Autograph
and Rendrker, and send his edition, which
consisted from one to half dozen copies,
to any one he pleased. His work was very
neatly done; he tried printing press once,
but didn't like it half so well as his pen.
and so gave it up. He was very Jealous of
the fame Of his sheet, and had no mercy on
the man who said anything against it, or
refused to exchange. Among his peculiar
tiles was his abstinence from tea and coffee,
and his feelings were grossly insulted if
they were offered to him. The outrage of
urging man to take cup of tea when at
a friends table was the subject of many
leader in the autograph of twenty-five
years ago.
Gsy- The celebrated $1,000 package, Civ
en- to Senator York, of Kansas, to secure his
vote for Pomeroy in the senatorial election,
which Mr.. York produced in the joint con-
vention to the discontinue of Old Subsidy,
is again the subject of public interest. Mr..
Francis, the new state treasurer, has re-
ceipted for it among other valuables'in the
state treasury, but does not know what to
do with it. York, who only took it in
order to entrap Pomeroy, will have no.
thing to do with it. Pomeroys explana-
tion of the affair is that the money was
given in trust to York for one Page, who
was to start national bank on it, but
Page has relinquished all claims to it. So
the cash remains in the treasury without an
owner.
GB- A joke intended to be played on
simple-minded negro in Montgomery CO.,
Virginia, resulted very seriously to other
parties. Mr.. Thomas Wilson loaded a
cigar with what he thought small charge
of powder, and handed it to Mr.. S. P.
Carr, with instructions to give it to an
idiot negro with the view Of having some
fun at his expense. Mr.. j. 0. Long play
fully snatched the cigar from Mr.. Carr and
lighted it, when it instantly exploded,
tearing out three of his teeth, terribly mu-
tilating his mouth and putting out the
right eye of Mr.. Carr, who was standing
in front of him.
cS- Gen. Totleben, the defender of Sc
bastopol, has been sent by the Emperor of
Russia on a mission to the Mennonites with
the object of deterring them from emigrat-
ing to America. They were about to fly
from the severity of the new Russian mill
tary law. 1t now appears that the Car
intended to grant special exemption to the
members of this sect, but his instructions
were misunderstood by the officials. They
are to be subject only to duty in military
hopitals,
CB- The ex-Chief of Police in Terre
Haute, Iowa, married under rather unusual
circumstances. His son, less than dozen
years old, suggested the desirability of
change in the domestic arrangements, and
named the lady he would accept as step
mother. The ex-chief sought the lady,
told her what his son had said, and intima-
ted his desire to crafty his sons wish.
The lady heard with respect, awakened
her little daughter, received the daughters
consent, and then gave her own. The
wedding took place the next day.

A Stranger in these Parts.

On Friday morning last, large black
whale was captured in the Raritan River,
near Perth Amboy. The animal was first
discovered by boatman named John
Spearn, and seemed to be grounded on the
oyster beds, just below Crows Mills He
Immediately procured assistance and an at
tempt was made to kill the animal by firing
shots into it with breech loading shot
guns, but the huge "bird" did not even
give a grunt at their efforts. A long
pointed iron was finally driven into it be-
hind one of the gills, which proved its
death blow. AT high tide the body was
towed across the river and fastened to a
dock, where at low tide it was the object
OF curiosity by numbers who were attract
ed to the scene. The whale is young
one, measuring 48 feet in length by 0 feet
across its largest part. 1t is estimated
chat from $500 to $1,000 worth of oil can
be procured from the carcass. At last ao-
counts the captors were cutting up the
animal and "frying out' the OIL On Sun
day, the owners of the fish erected tent
over the body and charged 25 cents admis-
sion to view the same. About $3.50 was
realized by this move. The keeper of the
draw on the Raritan Bridge saw the ami
NAL go through the draw about midnight
the night before, but supposed the object
was drift or an upturned boat

The Condition Of the Mississippi Leyees

The Condition Of the Mississippi Levees.
1t is said that the damages to many of
the levees during the late war have never
been repaired, and the present flood has so
ravaged the levees which were rebuilt and
impoverished the people as to render their
repair and reconstruction impossible ex-
cept by national aid. 1t is proposed by
Senator Alcorn and others to furnish labor
to the people whose crops are destroyed in
rebuilding the broken levees to insure the
next and future crops, and thus arrest the
famine. Five million cubic yards of levees
costing some two millions of dollars, are re-
quired. 1t is further proposed, in Gen.
Morey's bill, to appoint mixed commits
sion of military and civil engineers to in
vestigate and report more complete plan
for the control of the Mississippi river and
the complete reclamation Of the great delta
alluvion.

Hon. Eugene Hale appointed Post-mas
ter General,

The appointment and acceptance Of Mr..
Hale to the position OF POSTMASTER Gener
al of the United States, was a surprise to
the people of this District. At the same
hour, In which they renominated him with
acclamation to represent them for a fourth
term in Congress, telegram was sent no.
tifying him of his appointment to seat
in the Cabinet, which appointment was
formally accepted on Saturday, and to day.
he qualities and takes office. OF course.
much comment is now made by Mr.. Hale's
friends in relation to his action. In this
district. it is a matter OF regret that their
chosen candidate whose ability and infiu-
ence have constantly been more and more
acknowledged should at this time, decline
the honor they cheerfnlly rendered, and
feel constrained to accept higher position
At the call of the President. No blame or
censnre. however is by them imputed TO
Mr.. Hale, because they believe that this
call was as much surprise to him as to
them, and because they deem it reasonable
that every man should be allowed 10 judge
tor himself wha; is his own line of duty.
Not only to the gentleman himself but TO
his constituents. II Is high honor that
from the 9th District should be selected a
member OF the Cabinet, the only member
from New England and those who know
Mr.. Hale best regard the appointment as
judicious and wise. His public services
whether on the floor of Congress, or
as q member OF the important COM
mittees on The Navy aud Appropria-
appreciated. He has exhibited tact,
shrewdness, and high executive ability.
In all legislation to promote reform and
prevent useless expenditures, his influence
has been decided and efficient. Even the
opposition have been compelled to admit
it and have often openly and voluntarily
declared il. The Press with few excep-
tions, have commented on this selection
in a manner highly complimentary.
few papers however, more particular
ly of the opposition, see in it a move of
great political significance. Some. blow
at Mr.. Blaine. others, hidden design to
promote his interest. and still Others,
strategy on the part OF the President. to
obtain third term. An eclipse would
probably 10 them have the same political
significance.
The simple truth OF the whole matter Is.
that after the resignation of Mr.. CresweIl
the President cast about him Tor q snita-
bic successor, and after four years obser-
walton of Mr.. Hale in Congress, rendered
him the appointment, and however much
we may regret the decision of that gentle
man in accepting the Office, the voters of
