the folio wing: A lady on Capitol
Hill, upon the marriage of her daugh
ter, gave her intended son in-law
three dollars in q sealed enN dope
with which to fee the minister. The
enterprlsing youth abstracted two

mother-in-law?-CapitaI
On4he gath inst, Austria, Ger.
many and Russia presented q joint
request to Turkey for permission to
conclude commercial treaties direct
ly with the Dsnubian principalities.
Turkey objected, and now Austria
assures her that any discussion of
the matter is entirely unnecessary as

Germany approve any remonstrance

hoppers, developed from eggs de-
posted in the clay diet of the Ia
mented departed.

Mitchell saw something moving in

tragedienne America ever has produ-
ced," has announced that in a few
