GoNE WHERE THE WooDBINE TwINErH.
down town Market street merchant in consider
alton of the faithful services of his lady clerks,
agreed to EXCUSE them from attendance at tho
store for Thursday last. A couple of painters
were called in and one put to work on tho inside
and ono ON the outside to have things brushed
up nice and fresh for the return of the clerks
Friday came and 30 did the clerks but not 30
ahe merchant. Further investigation showed
that moonlight fit had taken place on Thurs
day night, and on entering the store the mockery
Of empty shelves was all that was left to
greet the eyes OF the young ladies to whom ~
each was due, besides $3.50 to the landlord, and
n large sum to the landlord OF the Delaware
House, The painters were strictly instructed to
call on Saturday morning and get their money,
but before that time they found that they had
tually to conceal the flight of the enterprising
merchant.

How GAIT. MoRRIs DIED SuDDENLY.-The
Salisbury Advertiser relates the particulars OF
the sudden death, on Saturday evening, the Sd
inst of Capt. James Morris, Of Wicomco ooun-
". That paper says On his way home from
Eden station, he stopped at the residence of his
sister-in-law. Mrs. Twilley, at the Trappe, SEEM
ing az we'll az usual, except under the influence
of liquor took a chair in the yard and after con
versing while took from his pocket bottle of
wbiskey and took drink, inviting MIR. John
Huntington, who was present, to take drink
with him. On Mr.. Huntingdon refusing
10 drink, telling him he did not
desire to, he said, "No, you are all too
good to drink whskey, but ! inteud to
drink it as long as live." Soon after he took
another drink, reversing his position IN the
chair 30 as to lean his head upon his hands,
which were casped over the back of the chair.
As the family were about to retire for tho night,
Mrs. Twilley called him, but receiving no answer
she requested Mr.. Huntingdon to wake him, whom
he was found to be dead. He had passed away
without n sigh or a struggle, his sister-n law
and his daughter being near him all the while,
and observed nothing unusual until they were
informed OF his death. Capt. Morris has been q
man of powerful constitution and great ply
steal strength His age was about sixty.

A TERRIBLE explosion occurred in
South Boston, Mass, on the evening of
the 22d, caused, it is supposed, by the
leakage of a gas main. The street pave
ment was torn up for a distance of $50
feet, the paving-stones andgravel being
thrown high in air. A causeway along
the river bank was demolished, and fell
into the water, carrying with it a num-
Der of people. Crosby's grain warehouse
was badly shattered and the foreman
killed. One other person is known to
have been killed, while the wounded
number 16, of whom o than one
half are fatally or seriously injured. In
addition to this a number of persons
are missing, some of whom were I'M
doubtedly buried under the debris at
the bottom of the river.

New YORK's latest horror is the muir
der of Sarah Alexander, a young wo
man, whose dead body was found a few
days ago in a corn-field, in East New
York. She had been killed by being
stabbed with 4 tobacco knife. The
knife was found near by, and its former
possession traced to one Pesach n.
Rubenstein, who has been arrested and
held for trial upon the finding of the
Coroner's jury. A post-mortem exami-
nation of the dead body disclosed the
fact that the girl was pregnant, and
from the fact hat she had been intimate
with Rubenstein, and that the latter had
a wife in the old country whose arrival
here was soon expected, there seems to
be little doubt that he committed the
horrible crime. Both the murderer
and his victim are Polish Jews.

THE French Senate is to contain 800
members. OF these, IS have been
elected by the Assembly and 225 are to
be chosen by the Departments, much as
our Senators are elected by the States.
The former hold their seats for life; the
latter serve for a term of years. Bal
loting for life-SenatOrs began in the As
sembly on Dee. 9th and ended on the
DIST. Its results have been a
sweeping triumph for the Repub-
licans. They have 81 of the 10
80 from the Left Center and a
from the Left. The Right Ccnter-the
Orleanists-have 6; the Extreme Right
the believers in Henri V, the white
flag, and the Bourbon blood-have II;
and the Bonapartists count but one
avOwed adherent, though 4 number of
other Senator's are suspected of Il Turk
ing like for the Imperial eagle and the
boy Napoleon. The election of the 225
Senators by the Departments will doubt
less add a number of Bonapartists to
the Upper House, but the Republican
majority is sure to be large enough for
any practical purposes.

A SUIT testing the legality of the Mis-

CURRENT TOPICS.

IT has been a~scertained by the Com
missioners of the Permanent School
Fund of the State of Kansas that a num-
Der of School District bonds purchased
by them, %purporting to have been regu-
larry issued byvarious School Districts
in Mitchell, Jewell and Republic Coun-
ties, are forgeries. The bonds were
bought at different times be-
tween the I'd of September and
9TH of November last, and in payment
therefor the Commissioners issued or
ders upon the State Treasury amount
ing in the aggregate to S17,S4S. The
Commissioners claim that State Trea-
surer Lappin wrongfully and Illegally
paid out the money upon these ordersto
parties who were not properly idsnti-
fed, and have requested the, Governor
to take legal measures to recoverfrom
the Treasurer and his bondsmen the
money so paid out. Governor Osborne
has therefore suggested to Treasurer
Lappin, that under the circumstances it
would be advisable for him to resign
his office during the pendency of the in
vestigatiOn, and the Treasurer has com
piled with the request, at the same time
disclaiming that he has at any time in
te~ntionally disregarded his duties.

ACCORDING to a Washington special
to the Chicago Tribune, Mr.. Randall,
after full consultation with the mem
bers of the Appropriation Committee,
a close examination of the estimates
submitted from the Departments, and a
personal interview with leading officials
in the various Departments, maintains
his belief that he will be able to reduce
the annual expenditures at least s40,-
000, 900. He takes from the Army and
Navy establishments $1,000 900 from
each. This involves 4 reduction of
the Army to $4,000 men, and a gradual
mastering out or discharge of super
numerary officers, and also the sale of
the small ships and iron-clads of the
Navy, and 4 corresponding reduction
among the force of officers, seamen and
marines. Mr.. Randall feels confident
that he will obtain the support of the
Republicans of his Committee, and the
majority of the Republicans on the
floor for these two of retreuch-
ment.

to Congress that the new mint for the
coinage of silver be located at ~Indianap-

INFORMATION has been recently re-
ceived that IN expedition of about two
thousand men, sent by the Khedive I'M
der the command of Gen. Arendrop, a
Dane, to subjugate the Abyssinians, was
drawn into ambush and nearly every
man slaughtered. Many officers were
literally hacked in pieces, their heads
stuck on spears before the Abyssinians'
tents, and their bodies sent to wild
beasts. An expedition, comprising 12,-
600 men, sinfantry, cavalry and artillery,
is to set out from Cairo without delay,
and will be joined by every American
officer in the Egyptian service.

FROM official correspondence it APP
pears that some time since Minister Eos
ter asked permission of the Mexican
Government for regular troops of the
United States to follow raiders across
the border when in close pursuit,or per
mission to temporarily occupy certain
points on the Mexican side where they
are accustomed to come across the riv-
er. The reply of the Mexican Secre-
tary of Foreign Affairs was that the E1-
ecutive had no authority to grant such
permission without the consent of Con-
gress, and it would not be prudent to
ask such consent, as the sentiment of
the country would not approve it. Eos
ter stated that he was authorized to
give assurance that our Government
had no design of acquiring extension of
territory, but said the acknowledgment
by the Mexican Government of its in
ability to restrain the lawlessness of its
own citizens would afford the strongest
eason to all advocates of acquisition of
territory there may be in the United
States. Mr.. Foster further said that
citizens of Texas must be protected,
and if protection did not come from the
Mexican Government it must from ours.
SEVERAL weeks ago it was reported
from New York that agents of the
Spanish Government in that city were
engaged in recruiting for the army in
Cuba among the INDECENT Italians, who
were lured by promises of large boun-
ties and tracts of land. Information to
this effect has just been filed IN the
State Department at Washington, and
an examination is to be made into the
alleged violation of the neutrality laws.
A TERRIBLE casualty occurred at the
little village of Hillikon, canton of
Aargan, Switzerland, on Christmas
Day. While the people of the village
were nearly all assembled inthe school
house, enjoying the festivities of the
day, the flooring of the o suddenly
gave way, precipitating the whole as
semblage to the ground. Eighty per-
sons were reported killed and so O
or less wounded.

THE Commercial Loan and Trust
Company of Chicago has suspended.
1t was at first confidently asserted that
the company would pay every depositor

effect that depositors cannot expect over
80 cents on the dollar. The company
did a large savings deposit business,
and its suspension falls heavily on some
poor people.

A Murder Mystery Solved.
Paris Correspondence of the London Tin

Paris Correspondence of the London Times.
A great sensation has been created at
Amsterdam by the discovery of the
murderers of an old lady named Kou-
wen and her maid in December, 1872, a
crime which had hitherto defed detec-
ton. It appears that a public house
waiter, named Jut, was betrothed to
the lady's former servant, but having
no money to set up housekeeping, they
agreed to rob and murder Mrs. Kouwen.
They first murdered her servant and
Their the lady herself. Escaping all
suspicion, they remained at the Hague
till the following March, then married,
and went to America; there they sold
the lady's American securities, and
afterwards went to England where they
disposed of her Austrian bonds. The
agent employed in this last transaction,
however, was suspicious of something
wrong, and Jut had to purchase his 81
lence with round sum of Money. The
pair next opened tavern at Rotterdam,
bat their investment of large sum in
Dutch securities attracted notice. The
police set their maid servant to watch
them, and her information placed their
guilt beyond a doubt. They have con-
fessed their crime.
