Playing school.

Tt was fifteen minutes after o'clock,
and yet Miss Warren had not commenced
school. She was not even in sight of
the school-house, for several of the girls
had been standing on Gravel Hill for
the last ten minutes watching for a
glimpse of her. Matte Lowell had q
bouquet of pansies in her hand, and her
little sister had red apple in her
pocket, and Jane Tanning had bunch
of grapes and some asters, and there
were various other offerings awaiting the
little schoolmistress as soon as she should
appear in sight. Ten o'clock, they
turned with heavy hearts toward the old
red school-house, and one Of the larger
boys was delegated to go and see what
was the matter with the teacher. He
soon returned with the ncws that Miss
Warren had severe nervous headache,
bat che hoped to be able to be in school
in the afternoon, aud suggested that
those who had brought their dinner had
better remain and study till o'clock.

Mrs. OLIVER PERRY RICE, of Indian
apolis, is apparently about to enter upon
a siege of trouble. She is assured by no
less an authority than the Hon. George
H. Pendleton that she is the Legitimate
heir to So, 600, 900 of property in Ale
gheny county, Pa. Her father died i'll
the happy unconsciousness that he owned
the property ; but it has none the less
been made to appear that such is the
fact. The result will be an interminable
series of lawsuits, and an experience for
the claimant similar to that of Mrs.
Gaines in New Orleans.

THIS Beecher is very queer man. At

Church he said he had no such trouble at

boy, and his father told him he might go
hunting with him, and Aunt Chandler,
without knowing it, sent him to get some
snuff, and when he got back his father
had gone.

GEN. Tracy, Of the counsel for Mr..
Beecher in the great Brooklyn trial, was
at one time an adviser of Moulton and
Tilton. Words spoken by him in the
early days of the scandal are returning to
plague him now. For instance, Mr..
Woodruff, Mr.. Moulton's partner, testi-
fed the other day that Tracy, several
months ago, thought the case was one to
Justify Mr.. Moulton in lying. And it
appears that Moulton lied. Moulton
seems to have been very accommodate
ing fellow in this respect. He lied right
and left whenever he was asked, and
sometimes spontaneously from inertia.
THE Senate Committee on Patents,
before whom the application has been
for a couple of years, have refused to
grant an extension of the patent of A. b.
Wilson'S four-motion feed for sewing
machines. The inventor has realized O
fortune of several million dollars from
his invention, and it is estimated that
the monopoly would be worth from 80,
OOO, 900 to $50, 600, 600 for the next sever
years. The result of this refusal to gran
an extension will be to cheaper the price
rs it has been shown that the price of av
erage sewing machines is but $l2, anC
that not less than $40 profit is made OF
every machine manufactured.

ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMS has
commenced suit against the Central Pa
cifc railroad for 81, 1886, 635, and against
the Union Pacific for 81, 040,000, and
against other roads for smaller sums, ag-
gregating So, $50, 900. The demand for
these sums Is based on an act of Congress
requiring an annual report of their earn
ings to the Secretary of the Interior, to-
gether with the payment by them of five
per cent. of their net earnings to the
government. These provisions have
been ignored, and hence the suits.

IL 1873 the corn crop of the United
States amounted to 900, 900, 900 bushels,
according to the statistics of the Agri-
cultural Bureau. Last year it was 800
600, 900 bushels. The cost of trans
portation is SO great that the farmers
find that there is not much profit in rails

FORMATION OF A SOCIETY OF ULsTERMEN Al
COOPER INSTITUTE LAST NIGHT.
A meeting OF men from Ulster, Ireland, compris.
ing some seventy people, was held In Room a.
Cooper Institute, last evening. There appeared
to be little interest in the proceedings 10 those
present. who were exclusively from that portion
OF the Emerald Isle named in the call.
Mr.. william Ryan occupied the chair. He said
the object OF the meeting was to organize society
OF men who hailed originally from the province Of
Ulster. II was not, he said, that there was any
peculiar objection to people from other parts Of
Ireland or indeed, from other parts OF the entire
world, but 1t was thought the IDEA would appear
more particularly to those VINO, in years past,
had been neignbors, friends and, possibly,
| who n turally sympathized moro with each other
than would others who had not been educated TO
the same ideas, aims or tastes. The society would
oe merelysorganlZed for the objects oil soclaoility
and mutual help. Irishmen had been so often be-
trayed In societies where the objects were ultt-
mately found to be preicrment Of the few ct the
expense OF the many that they thought such an
object as this society had In view would appeal
strongly TO all present. In any case, by the plan
proposed to he adopted, harmony would be Sc
cured, which was OF vital Importance to such an
< constitution and bylaws for the new society
were voted on, section by section. and were In
substance embodied IN what was said by the
chairman. The meeting remained IN session unea
