I The EXPULSION OF Miss JAcKsoN.-Ihs
Washington special Of the New York Times
says: There has been some adverse criticism
III private circles for day or two in conse.
quence of the employment in the Treasury De-
partment of Miss jackson, daughter of the
man who shot Col. Ellsworth at the beginning
of the war. Finally, an account of her dis
missal and restoration by order of President
Grant has been published. 1t is not even an
incorrect and garbled narrative, bat it is abso-
lutely and unqualifedly false. The facts are as
follows: Miss jackson was appointed during
Judge Richardson's SecretaIyship, but it was
not known at the time that she was the daugh.
ter of the jackson who killed Ellsworth. She
has proved herself an excellent clerk, and has
been at least once promoted for efficiency. Ii
was not until few days agolthat Mr.. McCar-
tee learned the unpleasant fact above noted,
and he at once recommended her dismissal.
Secretary Bristow, having learned the story, as
sumed the sole responsibility of retaining thu
lady in the department.. There was no ground
whatever for her dismissal except the relation
ship for which she can hardly be held respon-
sible. Her record in the department was ex-
cellent, and so far as it went warranted her re-
tentiOn. Secretary Bristow says il il
had been question of giving her
the appointment in the first instance,
he would probably have decided it adversely,
deeming it proper that daughters and widows
sheoidiegs in the Union army seeking places
now, for no feas1fference: To dismiss her
would regard rs punishnfar- parentage, he
not authorized to administer At any be was
assumes the responsibility, and says, so far 'as
he knows, the President had no knowledge of
the case Col Mosby did not appear in it,
and he was influenced alone by his own feel
ings and judgment. No doubt the raid on Miss
Jackson was organized by some one who
wanted her place, and it is noticeable that
most is made of the affair by those who have
been loudest in demanding that the war should
be forgotten" oa

A STRANGE DREAM FULFILLED.-L. w.
Lewis, in his "reminiscences of the war, pub
lished in the Texas Christian Adoocate, re-
lates the annexed remarkable instance as
literally true. The battle referred to was
that OF Prairie Grove, in Northwest Arkan-
saa, fought Dec, Z, 1862: u2
A curious fulfillment Of dream incurred
at the battle under my own eye. A man by
the name of Joe Williams had told dream
to many OF his fellow soldiers, some of whom
had rela2ed it to me months previous to the
occurrence which now relate. He dreamed
that We crossed river. marched over a
mountain, and camped near church located
in wood, near which terrible battle en-
sued, and in charge, just as we crossed the
ravlne, he was shot in the breast. On the
ever memorable 7th of December, 1862, as
we moved at double quick to take our place
in the line of battle, then already hotly en-
gagged, we passed Prairie Grove church, a
small frame building belonging to the Cum
berland Presbyterians. i was riding in the
Hank OF the command, and opposite TO Will
liams, as we came in view Of the house.

were in full pursuit, when we came upo& q q
dry ravine in the wood, and Williams said |:
"Just on the other side of the hollow was
shot in my dream, and will stick my hat
under my shirt" Suiting the action 10 the
word as he ran along, he doubled il up and
crammed it in his BOSOM Scarcely had he
adjusted it before mimic ball knocked him
out of line. Jumping up quickly he pulled
out his hat, waved it over his head and
shouted: a'I'm all rightP' The ball raised 8
black spo, about the size of a mans hant

The Argentine Revolution.


by the courtesy of one of our firms doing
business at Buenos Ayres, we are permitted TO
publish the following interesting extract from a
letter dated Sept. 2Sth, giving an idea of the
eondition OF affairs since the breaking out of
the rebellion:
The city is in great state of excitement ow-
Ing te revolution headed by the Mtre party.
Ihe National Guards have been called out ami
the city declared in state of siege for two
months from Sept 24th. There have been one
or two unlmportant skirmshes in the country
iistrlcts, Dut so iar there has been ne fighting
In the city. On the oath inst. at midpjgbt va.
rious tramway stations were broken info and
horses taken out, telegraphic wires were emf
and several of the leading Mitre party men
left the city as fast as possible, aud among
them many OF the most prominent and leading
business men of the city. The government inn
mediately ordered the town closed so no one
can leave the city without a permit. All the
river and MontevideO steamers have stopped.
the telegraph wires are not allowed to be used,
ana the ofhces OF the telegraph companies were
put into the hands Of the troops. For one day
even, the office of the Montevideo telegraph
company was closed, but that is now open.-
captains can only go to their vessels by special
permits, and no one is allowed to go to Flores.
Tomas, Q9ilmes or even travel by the railroads
unless with these permits This is done he
cause the influential Mitre party men were trv-
Ing TO leave the city and because on Friday
morning the two new gunboats Just out from,
England and purchased by the Argentine Gov
ernment were noticed to have moved their an
chorage, and when boat was sent off 10 them.
lnqulring why this was done the answer given
was that the gunboat had been taken and its
occupants made prisoners. One of The gun
boats soon got aground, her guns were taken
out and she was abandoned; the other one now
remains in the hands of the Mitre party and il
is said is waiting the arrival of the troops
marching towards the city from all quarters =
In such state of affairs, of course ali business
is at an end. How long this will last we cannot
say, Tor II 1t IS true land all say it is) that
till they come. The troops in the city cannot
go out Tor three-quarters of the city is against
the government. 1T it We're not for so many of
the influential men having left the city t
might perhaps be settled up. Many now be-
lieve IT is going to be very serious affair. Al
ready 1t IS serious enough to stop all business.
The government has suppressed all the
journals in opposition 20 it, and it is difficult to
tell what is going on outside the city.

SALMON CULTURE IN THE UNITED STATES :
More than half century since the late Ma
thaaiel Wyeth, of Cambridge, organized a par
ty to proceed overland to the Pacific Coast, for
the purpose of perfecting an arrangement for
the securing and preserving of salmon, that
were then known to exist in great abundance
in the rivers emptying into the bays on the
coasts Of Oregon and California. This expe-
dition met.wirh but little favor on the part of
the government or of individuals. 1t failed
for want of resources, but the protector never
doubted the ultimate result. His private
journal, now in the possession of parties in
Boston, clearly and distinctly marks out the
course that has been lately pursued with profit.
Mr.. Wyeth's idea was that the Pacific coast
would furnish this delectable fish to the world
Since the date of his adventure the salmon
producing districts not only in this country
but in Europe have been gradually decreasing
in the amount of their products. Our New
England rivers, once so fertile, with the excep-
tion of those in Maine, now no longer yield o
compensation to the fishermen; and even
those in the Provinces are showing steady
decline from the great yields of former years
Modern improvements, in the way of culture
and preservation of this choicest of all fish, is
doing wonders, but after all the natural re-
sources that are found in the Pacific Slope are
yet destined, with proper regulations, to yield
to the world the chief source OF supply fol
salmon. 5-r-I-t.1-YFr Fr f.f u.. \. t.a .fr

LADY DILKE's CREMATIoN.-The accounts
of the burning of the body of the late wife of
Sir Charles W. Dixie. the English Radical,
which were carried from England to Germany
for that purpose, are corrected by the London
Lancet, which says:
''We are authorized to state that the real
facts of the case are as follows: The lady il
question had an extreme horror of the idea OF
burial, which to many is far worse than that
of cremation, and the fact of the cremation be
ingcarried out by her relatives is evidence only
of their determination to carry out the de-
ceased's wishes. The difficulty of obtaining
permission was immense, and it was only
granted on condition that representatives of the
public bodies and ministers should be present
among others, those Of the clergy For this
reason the furnace was not completely closed
as it would have been if cremation were an or.
binary and recognized process. Every person
present-the number was about twelve-was
requested and promised to make no communi-
cation of the details to others. and the account
published can only have been gained by a
breach of this promise. Nor was even the
name of the deceased known to the bystand

4, How Mr.. TWEED LIVES -Harper's Weekly,
tells how the enforced retirement of the Tam
many statesman is made comfortable:
Fsom being treated as a man convicted of
enormous crimes, Tweed has been allowed to
assume the character of a distinguished guest
on the nland. He occupies large room in the
second stoy Of the central building OF the pen
ltentary. This apartment, situated near the
head of the sairs leading from the main en-
trance, is twenty feet long, twelve feet wide,
and twelve feetin height. 1t contains a double
bed, screened bya sliding curtain, and is fur
nished with buieau, washstand, two writing
desks, one of which is for the accommodation
of his private secretary, chairs, books, ETC.
The bureau is supplied with all the necessary
articles for the toilet. To spare the states
mans" eyes the whitewashed wall is covered
to the height of about eleven feet with maroon
colered muslin. The floor is partially carpeted.
The visitor who undertakes to ascend the stairs
leading to this room is told that there is moth
ing there but the private quarters OF the ofn-
GERS, and his attention is politely directed else
where. The warden's house, situated about a
quarter of mile north of the penitentiary, is
fine weather forms the fayorite promenade OF
the retired Statesman" sometimes alone,
sometimes accompanied by his private secre-
tary. The screen of trees spares him the gaze
of curious visitors, and affords opportunities
for a dignifed retreat should an outsider
chance to come too near. As he has been per-
mitted to let his hair, mOustache and beard
| grow, and to wear the ordinary dress Of gen.
tlemdn. he might encounter visitor without
being recognized In the north wing OF the
warden's house is the large dining room where
the old stem governors" used to entertain theil
| friends. This is now used by the retired
Statesman" who takes his meals there ia pri
| vacy. 1t is not to be supposed that the tabl'
| is furnished with the regulation prison are
| That would be too coarse for a man acc us

is awful.
England's marriage statistics have been
analyzed to show the probabilities of mar
riage for womea at different ages. Suppcs-
ing the sum of a woman's chances of mar
riage to be ore hundred, she exhausts be-
tween the ages of fifteen and twenty years,
fourteen and half changes. If she lives
unmarried from twenty to twenty-five, fifty
two mere of her chances have vanished into
thin sir. If she remains unmarried for five
more years she will turn thirty with only
fifteen and half chances out of her hun
died left. After thirty-five she has eleven
and half chances, and at this point the
statistician gave up his calculation, except
that he assures us that even if woman has
lived unmarried sixty years she still has the
tenth of a chance of getting married out o
the hundred with which she has supposed to
have started life. a3o
