dicial District and abolish the Superior

it merely q joke, and all denied having
received offers. Mr.. C0nklin testified
that one of the members told him that he
could make 500 by voting ON the Per-

There died at Groton, Conn.,, yester-
day, Punnie, the Esquimau child, or, as
she was called by her new friends, Silvie.
Silyie was the adopted child of 10 and
Hanna, the two Esquimaux who were so
devoted 70 Captain Hall. Those who
may have read the account Of Captain
Halps perilous journey may remember
many interesting traits of this Esqui-
mau child, and how she was. pur-
chased of her parents for an old sled
and jack-kniie. Little Funnie was
one of the party of ten whites,
two Esquimaux, two women, and
i've children, VINO under the command
of Captain Tyson, were separated from
the POlaris and left in the dreary Arctic
Seas almost to the mercy of the waves.
From the 10Th of October, 1872, to April
80, 1873, this child fioated on the ice-foe.
Alter having drifted some 1000 miles,
the party was finally rescued by the
Tigress, in latitude 53 degrees 80 longi-
tude north. The little Esquimau was
receiving her education at Groton, and
showed great sweetness of disposition
and capacity. Physically, Punnie was
very diminutive, and her health not very
good. It seems sad to think that this
poor little wait, after passing through
such untold perils, should have finally
succumbed, though tended by the kind.

Republican Caucus - Workingmen's
Nonstnatto,i-2As Toledo Bill Not to Ef-
feet Cincinnati.
Special to the Star.
COLUMBUS, March 26.-A meeting OF
prominent Republican politicians, repre-
senting all portions of the State, was
held here yesterday. Senator Burns, OF
Richland, took the Chair.
The coming campaign in the State, the
proper time to open it, and the best
mode of conducting it, together with the
topic of discussion. A strong opposi-
tion to the nomination of Mr.. Wade for
Governor was manifested, delegates
from the Western Reserve counties be-
ing the most urgent in their opposition
to it. 1t was decided to recommend that
Wednesday, June 2, be selected for the
Republican State Convention to assem-
bic. At q private meeting held in the
evening at the rooms Of the Executive
Committee, Ex-Governor Noyes an
nounced his determination not to allow
his name to be used in the gubernat0rial
nomination.
The workingmen of the city assembled
in convention again last evening at the
City Hall and nominated Captain j. Ii.
Grove, Republican, for Mayor, instead
OF Mr.. Royce, their previous candidate,
who has declined.
The announcement by the Attorney
General of the State, that the Toledo
bill would abolish the Board of Alder
men of Cincinnati, caused considera-
Bile sensation in the Legislature yes
terday afternoon. This decision was
founded upon the clause in the bill pro-
yiding that the Legislative authority OF
all cities shall be vested in Council
composed of two members from each
ward" etc. But the adn niauthoriZing a
Board OF Aldermen for Cincinnati con-
tains a clause providing that all laws at
variance with it "are set aside," and
that settles the matter, as the originators
OF it have no doubt by this time discov-
cred.

Bismarck is by no means a finished,
not even ready or natural, orator. AS
he rises there is general demand for
silence. all over the House, with the ex-
clamations, "He is speakingp' He In
clines his body toward the Assembly,
winds his thumbs around each other, and
casts an occasional glance at the House !;
but he stops, hesitates, and sometimes
even stammers, and corrects himself; he
seems to struggle with his words, which
ascend unwil4lngly to his lips; alter two
or three there will be a short pause,
when one can almost hear suppressed
swallow. He speaks without gesture,
feeling, or emphasis, and often fails In
the accumulation OF final syllables, SO as
to weaken his thought. One wonders il
this is the man with a parliamentary ca
reer behind him OF more than quarter
OF century, during which period he has
been in every legislative body Of his
country, meeting with bitterest opposi-
tion from the Liberal party in his early
Cal eel, ,parrying their most caust words
i'll kim, and replying, with wonderful
presence of mind, by the wittiest i'm
promptus or the most cutting sarcasm.
1t is the same man, and presently he
will prove it. Gradually his speech flows
with more warmth, and uniolds its Pc
culiar attraction: series OF original,
fresh, gritty ,and significant expressions,
which tell more by their power than
their beauty. His speeches are collec-
tiens of sentences rather than the devel-
opment OF smooLh and logical train of
reasoning. Thus. with apparently
no oratorical power, he seldom takes the
floor without confirming his nation in
the belief that, take him all in all, he is o
statesman such as Germany has never
before enrolled in her annals, and whom
the world at large may we'll envy her in
possessing.

WASHINGTON, March 28.-Hon. j. g..
Blaine is confined to his bed by sickness.
Judge Parker will leave for his new
field OF labors in Arkansas about April
1st.
1t is rumored that Secretary Bristow
will resign, but the report 10 supposed
to be without foundation.
Col. Fish, Marshal Packard and Mr..
Purdee have visited the President to
urge him TO appoint District Judge for
Louisiana, but it is decided that he has
not the power to do SO.
Speculation is rife in regard to the
English and Russian missions. The
chances are in favor of Mr.. Williams, the
present At orney- General, to the Court
of st. James. Mr.. Pierrepomt, of New
York, is in the city, and this has given
rise to the impression that he is to have
either Schenck's or Williams place.
:. Report says that MIR. McCartee, the
Superintendent of the Engraving and
Printing Department, will probably re-
sign.
The receipts from customs thus far for
the current month are about ten million

month from the increased duties on su-
gar, under the act of March 3.

coupons must be deducted from the par
value of the bond, and the loss borne by

OF preventing the payment OF lost or

lent operations of bond ring there are
from five to six hundred thousand dollars

ties in Kansas which have no popula-
ton, and that Governor Osborn, one of
the ring, is now In the East endeavering
