THE Republicans of Maine have de

Mr.. EsTILErrE, the new Speaker of the
Louisiana House of Representatives is

age, was graduated at Yale in 1857, and
was a rebel.
THE Richmond Wing advocates the
choice of Mr.. Lamar as Speaker of the

ground that he has experience, is dill

The Missouri Constitutional Conven-

subsequently served in the Confederate
Senate.

THE Washington Republican publish
es an interview with Mr.. Randall rela-

ONLY few days ago Michigan re-
pealed the "Personal Liberty bill F" of
1856, passed as check upon the opera

Ohio, Massachusetts, Kansas, Connecti-
cut, Rhode Island and Wisconsin, all
embodying provisions against the i'm
prisonment of fugitive slaves in State OF
county jails, or their apprehension by
State or county officers, and guarantee
ing them the right of trial by jury, and
privileges of habeas corpus.

patch says poor, afflicted Wisconsin
woman has written the following letter
to the President s'Mr. Grant, Presi-
dent Of the United States also our good
father of our country, and for the last
few years, until now, this present day,
as being our care on this earth-Deor
Sir. Please do not refuse to hear the
complaint OF a poor widow-one who
have lost her husband in the army dur
ing the war of 1862, for her Distress I
beg pardon of your honorable power
not to reject the answer of these few
lines. The object of these few words
are great to the poor widow. Dear
father of our country, in care of so many
people, I present myself not in body,
but all my heart before your powerful
and politeness, with The wish and hope
that you would not condemn me. With
the hope of God pray that you will
pity the grieve of desolate widow, one
who give her dear husband volun-
teer soldier for the glory of our country.
Oh, dear father of the Union country, be
also the father Of a poor widow, one who
trembles before your name. Oh, good
God, me give health in this gloomy
world, and strength to support my re-
greet and despair, SO can have OF receive
a word from the honorable President of
the United States. But no, no, I must
be mistaken. My lord would not hear
prayer of poor woman"

Altogether Too Realistic.

Says the New York ,Sun The best,
most p-actical joke of All FOOLS day,
was perpetrated in Booths Theater in the
celebrated humble-pie scene of the fifth
act of "Henry w. in which Fluellen
makes Pistol eat the leek. The "prop-
erty leek" ordinarily used is wood, with
green muslin leaves and piece of peeled
apple at the end. Some practical jokist
entered the property mans room and
substituted a fresh onion in the place of
the apple Gin honor of All Fools Day..
Thorne who plays Fluellen, took the leek,
innocently handed it to Bishop pistol,
after knocking him down, and made his
speech with the usual gusto ending with
Bite, pray you. It is good for your
green wound and bloody cockscomb. =
Poor Bishop, after the first bite, played
his part with a pathos that moves the au-
dience to the widest pitch Of merriment.
Little did they OF Fluellen dream how
real and painful were the tears Pistol was
shedding, as he calculated.
81 eat eat-I swear" adding in an
undertone to Thorne
"Damn it Thorne! this is no joke,
this is real leek Thorne could hardly
utter the next words -
Eat I pray you Will you have
more sauce to your leek ? There is not
enough leek to swear by!"
Poor Bishop, still weeping and boiling
with rage, went on: "Quiet thy cud-
gel? Thou dost see I eat. y
Thorne, choking with laughter, finished
his part of the dialogue with difficulty,
and amid shouts of laughter made his ex-
it. Fortunately he goes off on one side
and Pistol on the other. When Bishop
sprang up and roared out as he rushed off !:
g ALI hell shall stir for this y he
brought down the house, behind the
scenes as well as before the curtain.

Old London.

London as city of oders is not attrac.
tive. There are in the city fifty courts
and alleys, with 536 houses, in which the
intermittent water supply now furnished
is received either In ruinous old water
butts, often in the cellars, and exposed
to emanations from sewers or closets or
N cisterns open to every kind of acciden-
tai or designed pollution. In one such
cistern, the report tells us, "boys have
been seen to wash their feet ;" and the
inhabitants of some of the houses are
compelled to store water In open vessels
in their often crowded living and Sleep
ing rooms, where in very short time it
becomes loaded with organic impurities
and living organisms. Cleanliness is inn
possible and disease is rife. Some of the
details are too disgusting for repetition,
but they are the inevitable results of the
water which has been described. Many
of these courts are inhabited by foreign
Jews, who are not naturally cleanly In
their habits, but who in London could
not be clearly if they would and DR..
Saunders protests against the coward
ice and injustice of blaming for their
dirty habits people who are compelled
to use the same scanty measure Of water
times over for washing or for cooking
purposes, and who, If they are thirsty,
must go to public house, because their
filthy water butts and cisterns yield only
what is undrinkable, and not enough
even of that. "-NeaO York Empress.

The Pi Plant.
VOcGte.

The pi plant liz a luxurious weed, that
liz cultivated in the garden, and the more
it IL kut off the better it grows. It looks
not unlike the wild burdock, and grows
lust about az hi, and has leaf on it like
tobacco.
The leaf ov the pi plant IL about the
size ov an elephants ear, and the stalk
on which the leaf grows IL a dehkate
wine color.
Out ov the stalk the pi IL made, and it
IL the first pi out ov green sass that yu
kan git in the spring. el
The pi plant liz az sour az country
school marin, and one pound oy plant
takes four pounds ov sugar to soothe it.
There IL sum pholks think that this pi
kan beat the pumkin pi, but right here
IL WHARF they err.
They dassent bet on it.
When emmy man tells me that sutch
and sutch pi kan beat the .pumkin, l
konsider that man may hav sense enuff
to sett on jury, or perhaps assist IN
tending toll gate, but for all the i'm
portant dutys ov life he IL OF no more
use than an axe without emmy handle.
But pi plant liz better than no pl, but
it does take IN the sugar the darndest.
I'll was q going into the pi plant pi
spekulashun, I should want a partner,
and should let him furnish thJ sugar
and I would put up the roots, and we
would divide the profits equal.

SQUIRRELS In the cages to be devoured by
the reptiles. The terror and struggles
and final death of the poor little beasts
in the presence of the horrible serpents
were enjoyed as pleasing spectacle by
those who have hankering after such
sights. AS rule, the mice meet death
with trembling non-resistance, but
sometimes the squirrels show gallant
fight for life. The other evening, relates
the Commercial, a bright squirrel was
placed in q diamond snakes den to be
deyoured. and in the battle which ensued
killed it's passion anged antagonist. The
brush-tailed little conquerer Is to be
placed in the Cincinnati geological Gar
den, along with the donkey that whipped
the honess.
Mrs. RoUsBY, the English actress,
created sensation at the Grand Opera
House, Cincinnati, one night re-
Gently, by coming before the
curtain at G1O ClOS0 VI UAO 1eCC,
and making bitter speech, complaining
of the support. She said one actor had
got drunk, and his part had to be read
by another. She felt mortified to have
to appear under such circumstances,
which, she declared, was the most dis
graceful she had ever met. A long wait
followed this speech. The members OF
the stock company looked on it as an In
suit, and refused to proceed without an
apology. At last the curtain was rung
up, and the play proceeded, but was IN
terrupted in the middle of the second act
by shaking of the scenery, as If moved
by an earthquake. Mrs. Rousby ordered
the curtain down. In five minutes tAe
curtain went up, and the play proceeded.
It was discovered that the connection
was the result of discussion back OF the
flats, between the Earl of Essex and
super, about Mrs. Rousby's speech. The
super sustained her, whereupon the Earl
knocked him down.

THE YOUNG FOLKS.
Roberts Mechanics.

Roberts Nicknames.
There was boy, and for name
OF course he did not want.
Twas Robert, but with every one
His nickname was 81 can't"
Because, when any task was given
To him Of any kind,
Instead of trying to do his best,
81 can't" he always whined.
To cure this fault his parents tried
To hit upon some plan,
!. Because, said they, IF such the boy,
Pray what viii be the man ?'
They bought parrot that could talk;
1t soon learned Roberts name.
81 can't, v.I can't, y Z" I oan't!o it screamed
Soon as in sight he came.
Twas so at morning and at night,
Twas so day after day;
"That hateful birdI" would Robert cry,
81 wish 'twere miles away
He learned at last to say 'sIn try"
Whate'er he had to do;
The parrot heard the words so Oft
That soon it learned them, TOO.

Without a word of blame,

He seems to like the name.

An Incident in Charlotte CnSIlman'S
Early Life.

More than fifty years ago, boy, some
Is or II years of age, was at work one
afternoon on the old I" bingham Station
Packet, which will be remembered by
some of our citizens as for years occupy
ing berth at the head of the dock where
State street block now stands. It was an
afternoon when there was no school, and
a girl, somewhat younger than the boy
alluded to, was passing the half-holiday
in play near the store of her father. Ven
turing too near the edge of the dock,
she missed her footing and fell overheard.
It being high water OF the time, she dis
appeared. No one saw her fall, but, by
accident, the lad noticed some bubbles in
the water, and, having just before seen
the little miss on the wharf, instantly
took in the situation. Springing into
the water, he succeeded In bringing her
to the surface, and calling for aid, she was
taken on shore and restored to her parent.
This act of heroism saved the life of one
who has become the most distinguished
American actress of the age, a lady as
highly respected for her moral worth and
irreproachable private character as she is
renowned all over the world for her emil
nent histrionic achievements. Her res
cuer is to-day one of our most estimable
citizens, and less than year ago &C
quainted the lady with the circumstances
of her deliverance from a watery grave
through his instrunentality fact she
well remembered, although till theI

The Mexican Outrages.

A Washington dispatch says: Maj.
Ben Perley Poore and William Walter
Phelps, the sole survivors of the Sena-
torial excursion, have returned from
Mexico. They report a very disturbed
condition of affairs upon the Rio Grande
border They fully confirm the Ameri-
can side of the story, and place the re-
sponsibility for the border outrages upon
the ex- Mexican Gen. Juan Cortina and
his raiders. The Mexicans along the
border maintain that the portion of
Texas bounded north by the Nueces
river still rightfully belongs to Msxico,
and in making these inroads they claim
to be expelhng intruders upon their own
soil. It is practically impossible for in
dustrious settlers to maintain themselves
anywhere within that district. Mai.

if not polite. Here is what one In Anna

we will inform the sweet-scented evader
of truth and honesty who runs the little
niger nose-rag across the street that he
cannot run any of his internal lies down
our throat, for we know him too well to
believe anything he says, even under
oath. He has also been attempting to
ram a batch of his lies down the Threats
of the people of this county in regard to
his honesty while in Office, but, Judging
from the opinions we have heard ex-
pressed upon the subject, the majority
of them are about as distrustful of his
veracity as we are. "

I A CURIOUS fact is noted by Prof. Hay
len in his description Of the Blue Range
IF mountains In Colorado. This is the
discovery of vast quantities of dead
grasshoppers on the masses of snow lying
on the sides Of these rugged mountains,
where bears eagerly seek them for food.
At certain seasons of the year, the Pro
lessor says, the air is filed with grass
hoppers, apparently flying in every di-
lection, to aheight beyond human vision.
1t is probably, he thinks, that they be
eome chilled in flying over these high
peaks, and, dropping down on the snow,
perish.

A TREMENDOUS explosion recently oc-
CURED In San Francisco, caused by the
carelessness of single individual, one
Clark, and resulting in the death of sew
eral persons. One of the local journals
thus pleasantly suggests an epitaph for
the man who caused the sad disaster :
s'The explosion which cost so many
persons their lives was caused by a
spark from pipe, which the man Clark
was smoking, dropping into some pow
der. They need not look for Clark s
brains but when they get the rest of
him together they ought to bury the
fragments in a prominent square, and
erect over them a monument, containing
the inscription: Sacred to the memory

HENRY G. Bowen says there has been
a vast amount of lying and perjury in
this Beeeher business, and he insists that
the chief perjurer in the case should not
be permitted to leave the court room
after the verdict is pronounced without
being arrested for perjury. This opin-
ion is universally shared, except by the
guilty man himself. If the jury find a
verdict, they thereby find either Mr..
Beecher or else Mr.. Tilton and Mr.. and
Mrs. Moulton guilty of the most infa-
nous series of periuries. IF these per-
iurera remain UNPUBLISHED, the law against
the crime should be stricken from the
statute book.

BRIGHAM YOU'VE, whose opinions are

heir parents, and parents should labor
md pay for that education. ALI the ed

you see the results of. the education of
children in the free schools, and away
