Mr.. Nordhoff has stirred up bad feeling
among the White House attendants. His
letter about the kitchen organ, written to
the Hon. j. NJ Edmunds, called forth
from that gentleman a disclaimer of any
proprietOrship in the instrument aforesaid
and his manner of denial was not very com
plimentary to the real proprietors. The
grinders now rise to say few words. and
they speak of the great politician who or.
ginated the lannon's Bloody Shirt convention
at Chattanooga in this slurring way:
1--WE have never consulted the secretary
and postmaster upon any political subject
We never had the slightest idea of doing
it. We always supposed that his cniei
business was experimenting the mailing o.
old documents, the substance of which haG
long before been given to the public by
telegraph.
Has it come to this, that the only news

ing statesmen" ''old documents" 1t il

Pittsburg, Pa, will arrive-a committee
of one from each lodge being appointed to
meet him at Rock Island and escort him to
this city. In the afternoon the lodges of

pal streets of the city. In the evening,
the supreme master will deliver lecture

Newspaper praise is so often misdirected
thatit is pleasant to record case in which
the reward of publicity reached its proper
destination. A little bricklayer's daugh-
ter, sitting on the Thames embankment
the other day, was blown into the river
by sudden gust of wind. A gentleman
passing by quickly slipped the collar
from his Newfoundland dog, lifted him
and dropped him into the water, The dog
seized the struggling little girl carefully by
the cape and swan with her to the stairs
near by. The gentleman was unwilling to
divert gratitude from his dog to himself
and declined to say who he was, but he
gladly gave the reporter the name Of the
real hero, and the London Times awards
full credit for the deed to Ready.

"Our Mutual Friend"

Francis D. Moulton having been indict-
ed for libel for charging Henry Ward
Beecher with adultery with Elizabeth R.
Tilton, INDUCES in a little Buncome by
writing letter to Prosecuting Attorney
Britton demanding speedy trial, and he
gets the following spicy answer:
OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF
KINGS Co., Brooklyn, July 8.-Francis d.
Moulton, Esq. DEAR S1R:-The contents
and character of the publication, relating
to the Beecher-Tilton controversy fer the
past year, have been such that I am in
clined to think that in case [ am called
upon to prosecute criminally every libel
which has been published in connection
| with it, the more important administration
of criminal matters will of necessity stand
over for the next half century. 1t is
among the misfortunes of civil courts, that
parties there may indulge in all manner of
quarrels and exploits, natural or artificial,
at their will, but courts of criminal juris-
diction are moved only by the people and
| for the people of the state In this hot
weather, Jail cases like those of Loeder
and Price have preference. and it is re-
garded greater hardship for yarties, not
yet proven guilty. to sweat in Raymond
street, than to suffer from ibelious publ
cations.
1t would afford me great pleasure to try
you for any ofense, coming within the Sc
verer duties Of the summer months, but it
is out of my power to indulge you in what
you seem to regard as luxury, at the
cost Of neglect of business entitled to pre-
ference Later on may be able to accom-
modate you to your entire satisfaction, and
then you may have reason to rejoice that
the ordeal had not taxed your energies and
fortitude during the heated term!
| Very respectfully,
WINCHESTER BRITTON.

A Different Story.

Not long since the Union stated that |.
n. kirkpatrick had recently returned from
Osceola, Nebraska, giving gloomy account
of the destruction of crops there by grass
hoppers, and winding up by saying that
he owned an interest in newspaper there.
Several days since we received copy of
the HOnesteader, of July I, published at
Osceola, vigorously denouncing the whole
article in the Union as false, and as unjust
towards the people of that locality.
As to grasshoppers and crops we clip

There is but one paper published here at present
and that is the HOmestedder. II MIR. Kirkpatrick
has any interest in this paper we should be glad TO
know itand We shall promptly step down and out
We are safe in saying he has none, never had and
A good many uncomplimentary things

We are informed on good authority that there
is very warm region devoted to the entertainment
of fellows of his stamp, where vegetation is not
supposed to flourish and grasshoppers never come.
