A CHICAGO paper says the prevailing
hat for ladies looks more like an inverted
old-fashioned pickle-dish with last
weeks bouquet dropped on it, than any
thing else. But then it's perfectly lovely,
you know.
THE verbatim report of the Beecher
trial will make ter volumes of the size of
Webster's Unabridged. The Inter
Ocean suggests that "muzzlin' with
ragged edges, would make suitable
binding"
Mrs. STEWART is living in Liberty,
Ind, cheered in the decline of her one
handred and eleven years by the memory
of seeing Washington cross the Delaware
and having been il Yorktown when
CORVALLIS surrendered. She is to be
one of the attractions of the Centennial.

AN item in the fortnightly budget Of
news from China and Japan embodies a
statement which is of interest to foreign
mission societies. It is to the effect that
in Japan the work of giving the Gospel
to the heather has been mainly monopo
Lied by the Roman and the Greek
Churches, these bodies having total of
$1,000 converts as the resultof the labors
of forty-one missionaries, while seventy
Protestant ministers can boast of but 200
converts.
DAVID @. BRoDERIcK, Of California,
once a Senator in Congress, who was
killed in a duel in 1859, with D. S.
Terry, of that State, devised his prop
erty to personal friends, as there were
none to claim kinship to him. After his
death certain persons came from Aus
tralia to claim the estate, on the ground |
that they were his sisters children. |
Last week the United States Supreme |
Court reached decision In the case, In
which the will is sustained, and thus the
matter is settled.
THERE is every prospect that there
viii be cheap bread for the poor next
winter. The crop reports from England
and the European continent become more |
and more favorable as the season adj !
vances. In France the wheat is growing |
luxuriantly, and promises well for the
next harvest, and this applies to all parts |
of that country, as well as Germany, |
Hungary and the Southern provinces of
Russia. In none of these countries has
any injury been experienced, either from
early frosts or late drouths.
NORTH AMERICA now has communities |
tion with Europe through five cables. !
The first of those now in working order,
was laid in 1866, the second in 1869, the /
third in 1878, the fourth in 1874, and the |
l asst has just been completed. The name
s direct ocean cable, given the new line, |
is, in one sense, misnomer, since it is, |
with the exception of the French line
from Brest to Duxbury, the longest of
all. The capacity of the new cable, it is
estimated, will be only half as many
words minute as that of the Newfound- |
land lines, the loss being caused by the
difference in length of the wires.
TIE new law regarding the fees on
money orders went into effect on the LIST
inst. Heretofore the fees on small or
ders have been but five cents, and as the
great majority of orders are for small
sums, it is said that the business has ac-
tually been done at loss to the depart
ment Under the new law the rates are
ten cents for any sum up to fifteen dol
lars over fifteen dollars and not ex-
ceeding thirty dollars, fifteen cents over
thirty dollars and not exceeding forty
