How he was Received.

Harman Blennerhassett immigratsd to the United States from England in 1797, bringing with him an ample fortune, ac- quired by the sale of his estates in Ire land. Blennerhassett's island, in the Ohio river, near Parkersburgh, West Virginia, is to this day an object of note and interest to the traveller. Upon this island MT. Blennerhassett erected a spacious mansion, and embellished it with all that wealth and taste could sup ply. Aaron Burr, by his skillful address, succeeded in seducing him into partici- patton in his Mexican scheme of empire, while cleverly concealing his real designs of conspiracy against the. government. Blennerhassett's wife, however, being under the subtle influence of Burr, en- compassed his ruin, and the failure of the conspiracy resulted in his arrest and seizure of his property by creditors. The island was desolated. the works of art sold for a song, and the mansion con- verted into granary. Blennerhassett, bankrupt in fortune, subsequently, moved to Mississippi; and failing to succeed in raising cotton on his planta- tion, removed to Montreal, practiced law there for two years, then returned to England, and died in penury on the island of Guernsey; February 1st, 1881, aged sixty-six years. His wife, who was the daughter of Governor Agnew, of the Isle of Man, was an accomplished and I beautiful woman, and 8 poetess of con- \ siderable distinction. She returned to the United States, and petitioned Con- gress for the spoilation of her husbands home, through Henry Clay, who was warmly enlisted in her behalf Pending the consideration of the bill for her re. lief she died. and was buried in New York city by the Sisters of Charity.

 2 Editorial Excursions.

The New York World says The edi- tofial association excursions are we'll nigh over for the season. We are grati-t fed to learn that in many States they are not encouraged at all, and that in others the leading country journals de- cline to be represented on them. h. deed, ii; will be found that in majority of Instances it is not the practical men who make and control the rural news papers that are conspicuous on such occasions, but rather the editors friends and contributors, who would almost pay their own expenses at full rates for the satisfaction of being recorded as the representative of the Bungtown Bonner abroad, and to figure at home in lead ed long primer article, beginning with "Our Own Correspondent, and con- eluding with their initials. There are two ways in which these excursions in- jure the profession. In the first place, they lower it's tone and leave on the pub- lie mind the impression that the editors can be bought up or influenced with a free pass and haH-rate hotel bill. In the second place, the editor gives direct ly about thrice as much as he gets, and is estopped in perpetuity from express ing freely his opinion concerning the corporations or individuals that have thus got the better of him in ths immedi- ate bargain. As a rule, the man who takes pass limits his public usefulness and less6ns his personal influence. It is gratifying to observe that this view of the matter has been accepted by 80 maAyfof tho conductors of the country journHla: 1t will be still more gratifying to observe that next year many others have let the sseditorials excursion D severely alone, and declined to be com pelled to express their obligations to the accomplished and genial |" railroad conductor, or the ''mine host " who
 "knows how to run 8 hotel"

A Pedestrian Tour.
,troyed by fire loss, $1, ,OOO,'

A gentleman of fifty-two, who has just returned from a pedestrian tour of some two hundred and fifty miles, writes the following: sz
 I was agreeably disappointed in one thing, which was the entire absence of the professiona1 tramp on the roads that I travelled. My friends were very solic- itous about my safety on account of them, and advised me to take con- panion or to go well armed. I did neither, although, from the daily news paper accounts of their depredations, there was good reason for apprehension. "A few days before I started a paragraph stated that New Hampshire was swarm ing with tramps. confess then felt 8 little squeamish. To my great astonish- ment, however, met not a tramp in all my peregrinations. I heard from them, however, both in New Hampshire and Vefmoptsw they had burglariously entered two. houses adjacent to those of my mformants. When caught in the former State, they were severely dealt with. The vagrant act is vigorously carried out there. My impression is that they modestly retired from the "vulgar gaze of the multitude" by. day, and per uAAUeAnDou " AA6uy'h AA0pAAoA NAoOOFOAy I have made, and that is that the account of journey is liable to be almost as long as the journey itself hence I must apologize for these extended notes. T will bring them to a speedy close now, however, by briefly saying that the tour has been. notwithstanding the wet and hot weather, 8 very satisfactory one, and from which I have derived much benefit, both mentally and physically. My sleep was better on the second week, and kept improving as I progressed on my jour ney and I am thoroughly convinced that if I had persisted long enough-say 8 couple of months instead of two weeks T should have pretty we'll got rid of my ailment. I have been more hearty and robust ever since, with much i'm proved health, and the general result has been so satisfactory that when another opportunity offers shall "take to the road again. sso.ss7 .Fs -.-zsts

How They WilI sqaeak. ].

A man who draws the prize of squeak ing boots from shoe store always gets them on Saturday, and by the next day the full power of the squeak is-develas oped. He arrives atzSchurch sat--the opening of the long prayer, and is ad- mitted by the sexton with admonitory gestures of silence. The first step in side the door is followed by asound like that of ripping clapboard from the sideI of barn, while all the ladies on the right side of the aisle. tip their topknotsj on one side and Bquint from. their left eyes, those on the other side reversing the order. Balancing painfully on his corn, he makes a more gradual effort, and is awarded by hearing tho same harmonic reverberance like linked sweet ness, long drawn out Then he tries to navigate on the balls of his feet, and waddles along on his heels. He clutches convulsiyely at the sides of the pews to tighten his weight, knocks down a woman's parasol, and gets all the dea- cons to raising their bald heads and the skin acrossy their -foreheads,, and Pcowl- ing asthey do. the rest of theGweekD So he determines to mind the matter no more, and trots along fast, jerking out spasmodic shrieks with 3egzhafity that he never could attain at anything else, and reaches his pew with all his under garments turned to porous plasters, and his face of e color to match the saint done h red glassi in the principal window. -..

The Hangman's Tree.

In Dry gulch, just outside of Helena, Mon., stood, until a few days ago, big pine tree, with great, sprangling branches, on which, in the early days of that Territory, no less than sixteen male factors dangled at various times in expia- tion of their crimes. But it fell before the woodman s ax. and was converted in to ashes to, it's last friendly service to mankind. The act of cutting it down by the owner of the land on which it stood was denounced as piece of vandalism, and considerable indignation was mani tested bY the oldtimers. The tree has been dead for some time, and would ere long have naturally bowed before some strong headed tempest. It was historic landmark. ' '''H

Discomfort Among the Agricultural
 Classes of England. ~ ~

We have received says the london
 (Enz.) Spectntor, certain placards and
 handbills announcing a series of mass
 meetings on behalf of farm laborers, which are to be held in the west of Eng
 land. The placards are headed by a rough woodcut representing various ip-
 cidents of agricultural life. Theye is an. unbeautiful Ceres presenting Q aquartern
 loaf to very stout farmer and very
 thin laborer, with the injunction to "share fairly" There are long array of fat cattle, bearing prizes expressedii1 guineas, and an equally long array of lean men women and chii-. dren, bearing prizes expressed in. shillings. 5 There sis the policeman ar resting husband who has taken a rab- bit for his sick wife, and distant view of the county jail, with the inscription,
 "10, 900 criminals made annually through rabbits" There is the long ascent to the workhoase and the npauper'ss grave,
 and the only means of escaping from this fate, in the shape of an immigrant steamer bound for Canada, with the ex- hortation "Best men, get ready. The handbills are similarly adofned, some with cut of skeleton blowing, while a farmer, who is not at all a skeleton, looks on approvingly; and others with moro obscure presentation of the farm CT in the shape of an ass riden by the laborer, the tax collector, and the Iand4 lord all at once, and kicking vieiously at the agitator who is .appArently trying to lift the laborer off his back. The literary matter is identical ,.in rthe placards and the handbifls AThe meetings are for the underpaid and half starved Hand drudges ofIszWilts and Somerset, whc have had7tojkeep their wives and bring up theirQfamihes on six 1shillings tS ten shillings per week, and live in novels worse than stables" The 'workine folks of the. West, ,p. the s.DissentersOo1 the West, the ts Liberals of the West, are. reminded that their interests and those of the laborers are identical, and are asked to consider sswho are the greatest thieves, those who steal the commons from the people, or those, who take the rabbits from the commons P
 And then, by way of conclusion, comes the laborer's curse and the laborer's prayer. To the State church, Icha 1 bod To the unpaid magistrates
 Tekell Woe to the unfsithful charity trustees Woe to- the men who cans, the heart ofSthe widow to mourn, and the fatherless children to starve in tn, 4 streets Wanted, forth farm laborer

A Paragraph for Bird.KilIers.

The following paragraph is season abe:
 I once killed birds in my wantonness- God forgive me-merely to test my skill with the rife. But I received bitter lesson. While once passing through the woods carelessly fired at bird, caring only to discharge my gun so as to make my next fire sure. wounded a bird which sat upon the fence. I felt guilt stricken at once, and tried to catch it. Failing in that, thought it would be humanity to shoot it. Before I could reload my rife it huttered across the field, where I followed it, and found the painting sufferer at it's nest and blood dropping upon the young. My cruelty flashed upon me in all it's naked ness, and I cringed under my reflections like guilty butcher as I was.-Thur- LoU BroaUs. ' - ---------..... =

Love Levels All.

This is a Louisville love story:
Christopher Best began to love a
girl when he was only seventeen
years old. This was in 1874
He was a barber, and although
the girl loved him, his calling
seemed to her barrier to their
union. Therefore he decided to
die. Alter listening to her final
refusal to wed, be sent an uncon-
monty large bullet into his brain.
But he did not die. In great ago.
ny he survived, and endured
many painful surgical operations.
Recently, while the doctors were
reaching in with probes through
the opening of his skull, picking
out pieces of bone and opening alb
they found the bullet and
took it out. Thenceiorward he
improved in health, and the girl,
melted by his suffering, is going to
marry him, notwithstanding he
will be a barber again when be
gets well enough.

A medical journal published in
Cleveland addresses the following
queer query to the profession:
QUERY Has any physician
ever seen or treated bald-head-
ed comsumpiive?'
We should say that there must
be, and that there must have been,
bald headed consumptives; yet the
fact that doubt is thrown over
the existence of such persons by
a medical journal would seem to
show that they are not So COM
mon,as to be within the knoWl.
edge of every physician. We our
selves have not, Of course, seen as
many sufferers from the malady
in question as have come under
the observation of some doctors;
but we can not at this moment
think of any one Of those we have
seen who was bald-headed. Con-
sumption is q disease that preys
upon old people as we'll as young
and middIe.aged people; and we
suppose its victims are subject to
the ordinary laws that regulate
the growth of hair. If not, why
not?
