WHAT is FOUND OuT.

The Pacific Mail investigation has
shown that out of the million Of money
put into the hands of Richard B. Irwin
to buy through the subsidy of a million
a year, one check for $145,0O0 was
paid to William s. King of Minnesota,
then Postmaster of the House, and now
a member elect of the Forty-fourth
Congress and one check for 1916, 900
to John G.. ShumalSer Of Brooklyn, a
member Of the present House and also
of the Forty-frst Congress. This ac-
counts for about one-third Of the great
corruption fund.
King has always been a Republican,
and is very loud Grant man, while
Shumaker is a Democrat and it is
rather remarkable that of the two, Shu-
maker got the larger part of the money
yet King is probably the greater rascal,
as he is certainly moro experienced in
the business of buying and selling leg
islation.

FANNY's TWO QUESTIONS.

Fanny, leaning on my knee,
With her questions bothers me:
''Uncle, You know everything
All about the birDs and bees,
Flowers and grass and leaves and trees
Uncle you know everything
"Why do buttercups grow yellow
While the violets grow blue2
Tell me, please, aud tell me true,
There's dear old fellowl"
Fanny raised her shining eyes
Up to mine in swift surprise:
~ thought you knew everything,
Uncle, and I'm sure you do,
If you'll only tell me true:
Why do rusty brown birds sing
Sweetly, while bright birds are mute
Why are all the dull ones honest,
While the gay ones steal the fruit2
Don't you think it quite pity
They can't be both good and prettyl"
colder heads than yours, my dearie,
Have been puzzled by this query,
And may answer as they would;
AS for me, why fair and good
On the same bough seldom grow,
Really, Fan, do not knowl"

A,MUCH INJURED wHITEHALLER

One night last week Whitehall gen
tleman was on Troy train returning
home: At Saratoga, a gentleman from
Rutland took seat just behind the
Whitehaller. In q few moments o con.
versation was opened between the two.
Ascertaining that our friend was from
Whitehall, the Rutland gentleman
asked him if he knew Wilkens, editor Of
the Times.
"Know him ought to know him
for he is very intimate with my WIFE,"
M"You don't say 2" replied the Rutland
man in astonishment.
Eyes, sir I don't want it repeated
but have indisputable evidence that he
has been on terms of the closest intima-
cy with her.
'But, my friend, you don't live with
the Woman9"
eyes, sir strange as it may seem,
do. Oh, sir, you little know what a
man viii put up with the woman he
loves. This intimacy has been carried
on for years right under my very nose,
and yet by the love I bear the woman,
L have never yet broken with my wife. "
"But you can not possibly put up
with such conduct on the pare of your
wife If she is intimate with Wilkins, l
should think you would brand the vii
Liam before the world"
'T would not submit. No, sir I
would not, neverl"
The Rutland man had by this time
worked himself up to pitch of excite
ment, when the train pulled up at
Whitehall
"Good night, sir |" said the White
hall gentleman, 81 hope we will meet
again. I thank you for the interest you
have taken in my affairs. Good night, u
and the two gentleman shook hands and
departed.
Just then the conductor entered the
car, when the Rutland man stepped up
and asked him who the gentleman was
he was just conversing with.
'"Ihat man." said Conductor Hol-
comb, "don't you know him2 Why,
that is Wilkins, editor of the Whitehall
Times.
"Sold, by thunder" said the Rutland
man, putting his fingers into his pocket
and taking out something, said:
"Mr. Conductor, will you please give
him this card and accompanying five
dollars, and tell him to send me his pa
per SO long as the money lasts. - [Rut-

A MARSHAL OF THIS REPUBLIC.

Among the Americans who attended q
ball given at the Hotel de Vile, Paris,
when John Y. Mason was our Minister
there, was Jack Spicer, of Kentucky.
Jack rushed the dress somewhat strong,
and sported epaulettes on his shoulders
large enough to start four generals in
business. Jack was then observed of
all observers, and got mixed up with a
party that his friends could not account
for. Wherever the Marshal of France
went, there went Jack, and when the
Marshal sat down, Jack did the same,
always taking the post of honor. The
day after the ball, Jack called on our
Minister to France, who started up a
conversation in the following way:
81 hear, Jack, you were at the ball
last evening""
81 was, sir, and had high old time. 4"
''For which you were indebted, 1 sup
pose, to the high old company you got
mixed up with. By the way, how came
you associated with the Marshal2"
"How2 By virtue of my office.
They we're MarshAls of France, while 1
am nothing else than Marshal of the
Republic. 1 showed my commission
and took post accordingly"
"By right of your Office what do
you mean 2"
''Read and see I"
Here Jack presented Mr.. Mason with
Whitley brown paper, with a seal big
enough for four pound weight.
"What in the name of heaven is this1"
''My commission of Marshal, 1 re-
ceived in 1850, when I assisted in TAX
ing the census in Frankfort"
"You, don't mean to say that you
travel in this 2"
81 don't mean any thing else. That
makes me a Marshal, of the Republic,
and 1 intended to have the office duly
honored."
Mr.. Mason allowed that Jack was do
ing a very large business on very,
small scale. -[Cinoinnai Star.

WENDELL PHILLIPS comes out strongly
in favor of the administrations action in
relation to Louisiana. He fully indorses
the course of General Sheridan, and,
while expressing gratitude to General
Grant for sending Sheridan to the front,
he hopes the President will sustain him
with promptness and vigor.

The Department of Agriculture,
Washington, estimates the cotton crop
of 1874 at three and two-thirds millions
of bales. The yield per acre isreported
less than in 1873 in most of the States.
The aggregate value to the States would
be $3.50, 900, 900, or about SIS, 900, 600 to
each cotton State.

Air Walking.

Richard Sands, o well-known circus
performer and manager, was the first to
perform the feat popularity known as
ceiling-walking. In 1852 he performed
it at Drury Lane Theater, London, Eng,
and tile apparatus used and his per-
formances were thus described F.: "From
two lofty draped supports was placed a
temporary ceiling, 20 feet in length, and
consisting of a stout timber framing,
with q smooth surface /; at each end was
q slung seat, and beneath the ceiling was
a net, provided in case of accident. Mr..
Sands prepared himself by lacing SAN
dals over his boots, to which were at
tached brass loops /; and these were con-
nected by springs with a pair of platter
like soles, in which lay the secret, as
they were brought to the theater in a
locked box, and conveyed away with
Torrance. Mr.. Sands commenced by
ascending bya ladder to one of the slung
seats, and, lying upon his back by aid
of the ropes, placed his platter-shod feet
upon the ceiling, then gently detached
himself, and very slowly walked across
the platform, occasionally posing him
self on one leg. Thus he reached the
seat at the opposite end, and descended
by the ladder" He subsequently suc
ceeded in walking upon a large slab of
polished marble. The platter-like soles
above described were made of soft
leather and moistened with water.
These, when pressed firmly by the feet,
so as to expel the air, enabled the per-
former to maintain his hold upon the
slab, and by a movement of the foot a
valve was opened and forced be-
meath the leather, so that the soles
could be readily detached from the
polished surface. 1t was simply a scien-
tific application of the principle mani
tested in the child's toy commonly
called ga sucker"

WOman,S Energy.

Says the Pail Mall Gazette Woman
often complains that hers is comparative
ly a fixed, o secluded, and a meditative
life. Yet it is not always so /; she occa-
sionally energies from a life of seclusion
and meditation and displays an energy
and a versatility of talent which throw
man completely into the shade, and
would, but for his moral blindness,
awaken him to a more vivid sense of
his own inferiority. Such a career, for
instance, as that of a lady, by name
Elizabeth Taylor, who was charged on
Friday last before the magistrates at
Warrington with being drunk and disor-
derby, and fined five shillings and costs,
is one that may be studied with advan-
tage by many a frivolous man whose life
is spent in incidence and ease. Mrs.
Taylor, who appeared in the dock in
"male ATTIRE" was stated by the chief
constable to be the daughter of a gen.
tleman who formerly lived at Penketh,
near Warrington. She had been mar
ried, but her husband was killed twenty
one years ago, and for the last thirteen
years she had adopted, the garments of
a She vas employed as a sailor
during the American var, and made
several voyages from South Wales to the
American coast in vessels sent out to
supply the Alabama and blockade run
ners with coal. She was known by the
name of "Happy Ned" and Navy
Ned" For some time past she has
worked as a laborer on several farms in
the neighborhood of Warrington, and
so late as the 18th instant helped to kill
thirteen pigs for a farmer at Croft. AL
together Mrs. Taylor seems to be asingu-
larly industrious and persevering person,
and well fitted, with any e%xtraneous aid,
to fight the battle of life.

What Lace Costs.

If it is no longer worn by men over
the tops of their boots, there are still
wedding orders received at Alencon for
$500 900 worth at a time, and. considera-
BILE, though smaller, sums are expended
at Honiton, in Devonshire. For Valen-
%ciennes, made at Ypres, $50 per metre is
paid, but the lace-maker, working twelve
hours a day, a only produce one-third
Of an inch in a week. Every piece of
Alencon passes through the hands of
twelve workmen. The best Brussels
thread is spun in cells under ground,
because the dry air above would cause
the thread to snap. Upon the worker,
as she sits in the dark, is directed one
ray of light, but the thread is so fine that
her delicate fingers are better guides
than her eyes. Very many lose their
sight, and the high pay the lace-worker
earns is proportionate to the acknowl-
edged unhealthiness of the occupation.
The handspun thread made at Brussels
of flax of Brabant costs before it is yet
made up into lace S 1000 per pound, aud
the process of manufacture more than
doubles the value. Old lace is more
valuable in price, and some of it can be
counterfeited by limitations. Of some
varieties, however, the secret is lost, as
of point d'Argentine, which continued
to be made upon the banks of the Orne
till the French revolution stopped the
demand for a time, and gave the peas
ants other means of eau Ming their bread.

The Mobile (Alabama) Register re-
sents an imputation cast upon q legiti-
mate Southern word, saying: "The other
day a Georgia paper said that Mr. A. H.
Stephens could not have made a certain
remark because he un 'erstood the Eng
fish language too well to make use of
such a slang word as tote We resent
the indignity cast upon tote We
cling to tote as the Anglo-Saxon ma
tons cling to Magma Charta. 1t reminds
us of our descent from a liberty-loving
people, and preserves the memory of
justice. The writ by which a peasant
aggrieved in the Baron's court was ena-
bled to carry 0oUere) his case up to the
county court was known rs the writ of
toll, pronounced commonly tote. This
privilege which the humble farmer had
of toting his case up from his own land
lord to a less preiudiced court was dear
to every Englishman. The people of
the South will not surrender that word.
1t is as dear to our yeomen as the com
mon law ITSELF"

in a broken voice.
"One moment" ne said. "Do not
think that I give you up. I do not be-
lieve 1 am indifferent to you, and some
day I shall renew my suit"
With that he stepped aside and let her
pass.
The next morning Mrs. Mayfeld's maid
came to her and said
"Just see, ma'am, what I found in
baby's Clothes"
And she put into the lady's hand a
crumpled five dollar note. 1t was mutt
lated and wet, indicating that it must
have been in the child's mouth.
"Dear me !" said Mrs. Mayfield, with
a look of distress, cit must have blown
down on the floor, where baby could get
it. Then he got it into his mouth and
afterward dropped it down into the
bosom of his dress. 1t must have been
overlooked in undressing him."
She hastened with the bill and her ex-
PLANTATION to Tom He compressed his
lips.
"This is very poor salve for the pain
your tongue caused her yesterday" he
said, gravely.
"Im sure I didn't mean to be unjust"
said Mrs. Mayfeld, with a whimper.
Then she ran to Miss Compton's room
to apologize. The chamber was empty.
A note explained the matter.
"Of course, I cannot stay under your
roof with the suspicion of theft resting
upon me. The money due me will
more than repay you the amount you
suspect me of having stolen from you-
the injustice of which may never be
known save to God and myself. DO not
think that I entertain hard feelings
toward you. Idonot. Appearances are
certainly against me. But my useful
ness would end with the loss of your con-
fdence, and hence l go. Jessie Comp
ton"
Mrs. Mayfield wept over the note.
Tom put it into his pocket without COM
ment. He Immediately employed a
private detective and hunted her up.
Miss Compton" he said, sit would
be only generous in you tc return and
receive my cousins apologies"
When he had carried his point, and
Mrs. Mayfield had again and again begged
Jessie's pardon with tears, he said
"You cannot better show your perfect
forgiveness than by consenting to retain
your position"
That was purely selfish. However, he
was ably seconded by Mrs. Mayfield,
and between them they almost con-
strained compliance with their wishes.
Tom had a quiet laugh in his sleeve,
noting his Cousins enthusiasm, and
thinking how it would be cooled down
by a little peep into his mind.
While they were talking a tragedy was
being enacted in another part of the city.
A fugitive from justice, being hard
pressed by the police, shot himself rather
than be captured. Tom took charge OF
the body of John Compton, and secured
for.it decent burial.
Six months after that he shocked his
cousin and the devotees of Mrs. Grundy
generally by marrying Mrs. Mayield's

A LOVE STORY.

o, lay that dreary book away,
And list to me-0, list to mel
While wanes the purple of the day,
A story I will tell to thee.
Law not the book away in ruth,
With longing look or feigned signs;
You know you'd rather read the truth
Within the iris Of my eyes.
The swift air murmured silver clear,
A moment since, "She comes to thee !"
Your pulses told you 1 was near,
So don't pretend you do not see.
Ny brief, brief story never rare,
Is only sweet as it is true;
o, don't pretend you do not care,
When all the while you know you do.
For from the why warmth Of spring
Afancy flashed in ruby CLEANS
YOU'D teach my heart a deeper thing
Than il had ever dreamed in Dreams"
Well, 1 have learned your lesson now,
Have learned it all-O, look and see!-
The brief sweet lesson in your vow
4 said your heart would teach to me.
Man, eagerin his quest for power,
For fame, to live for evermore,
Will always use a vagraHt hour
To teach a woman loves dear lore;
For, after all, the praise afar,
Acclaim that pierces aisle or dome,
Is never dear as voices are
That tell him he is loved at home.
It's hardly worth your while to-day
To look so very, very wise;
You'll lay that dull old book away
To read the story III my eyes,
To list the story IN my tongue,
The one you wish to hear from me,
The story sweet if said or sung
81 love but thee, l love but thee"

BREADSTUFFS


The movement in the grain markets has been
moderately active during the past week, specu-
lators taking hold freely, and liberal sales were
made for July delivery. The prevailing feeling
was generally a trifie firmer than during the
preceding week, and the closing quotations
show a slight Improvement on wheat, corn and
barley, while oats were weak and easier. b
forward movement was fair of wheat, but light
on the other grains, and the stock in store is
still considerably larger than usual at this season
of the year. Wheat was higher almost all week.
Corn was irregular, ruling higher and lower
alternately. The warm weather on Friday
caused a pressure to sell and values were lc
lower. Saturday the cold weather caused an
advance. Oats were weak and lower, the favora-
BILE weather increasing the pressure to sell:
Rye was quiet and steady. Barley was firm and
in demand.
The following table shows the prices current
at the opening and close of the past week:

White Rose on an Annie Tree,

On the premises of MI. N. F. Bech-

street, is to be seen one of the most re-
markable ~curiosities ever heard of, of
the kind. A large c~rab-apple tree is
growing in the yard, and on the top of
the tree is blooming a pure white rose.
The rose stem, which is growing from
the apple branch, is over two years old,
as it has already hloomed two years.
The flower can be best seen from the
