A very young New York lady, of whom con-

Current Notes.

Some say the mission of the Republican
party is ended. You might as well say that
the mission of the church is ended because
the Bible is printed as to say that the mis-
sion of the Republican party is ended.-Matt
Carpenter.
We should extremely regret to see the pow
er of suspending the habeas corpus given in.
to the Presidents hands, because it is too
hazardous measure for any but belligerent
times, and because we believe there is no
earthly need of it if the present Republican
Congress does its duty.-BOston Journal.
In one of the hotels in this city, especially
patroDized by Democrats, and at which they
hold many of their political meetings and
Publications, colored citizens are admitted as
guests. The jubilee singers took their meals
there in the public dining-room, at the same
hour as the white guests, and no one was
offended. The colored guests were well be-
haved, their table manners appeared to be
quite as good as those of the average traveller,
and better than those of some Democratic
politicians whom it would be discourteous TO
name. The social structure at that hotel ana
in New Haven still survives the shock.-Neo

A sculptured monument in the form of q
horse and sulky is soon to be placed over the
grave of James Rocky, prominent jockey OF
Indianapolis.
Earl Russell, in his "Recollections," feels
that it would be dishonest and unjust not to let
the world know that after an impartial con-
sideration he fully approves of himself and his
career.
Mr. Edward Thomas Leroy, the special cor
respondent of the Dublin Freeman, who ac-
companied the Irish team to America, made
the acquaintance on the voyage hitber of the
lovely blonde, Miss Brooks, then Lady Mayoress
of Dublin, and daughter of the Lord Mayor.
This acquaintance has blossomed into matri-
mony. He made the best shot at Creedmoor.
Mary Z. Muffett was married some days
since Az Beverly, N j., in buff colored silk
dress, the material of which was brought from
Canton, China, and taken to England during
the American Revolution by Roger Kean,
prominent merchant of that day, and great
great-grandfather to the bride, who is the sixth
married in it during five generations-three in
England and three in the United States.
A singular suit is now on trial at New York,
brought by a womvn who married for money
and didn't get it. Jennie Young, aged twenty
three, married Daniel S. Young, widower of
tifty-eight years, with the understanding that
he was possessed of S15O,0OO in real estate.
She had ascertained this to be the actual fact
three days prior to the wedding, but after
wards learned that Young, just before marry
ing her, had conveyed all his property to his
two daughters by his first wife. Mrs. Young
sues to set aside that conveyance as fraud on
her. depriving her of her inchoate right of
dover.
Charlotte Cushman has pubiisnedl caia Ia
the Chicago newspapers saying that the an
nouncement of her farewell to the stage in
New York. last October, made by Jarrett s.
Palmer, was without her knowledge or consent.
and was very embarrassing, as she had other
farewes to make in Chicago, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and st. Louis, for which
engagements were pending. She wished to
make the explanation in New York, but as all
arrangements were completed she feared it
would seem discourteous, and she makes it in
Chicago at the beginning of her final trip, be-
cause she does not wish to stultify herself.

Dyke, CONSERVATIVE, Ior copies Oh tne ceruueate
of the trial and conviction of John Mitchell in
184S, of the official notification of his escape
and the proclamation offering reward for his
apprehension, etc. The motion was carried
ia to 13. Disraeli gave notice that he would
move, Thursday, resolution declaring that as
John Mitchell has been adjudged guilty of
felony and sentenced to transportation, and as
he has neither endured the penalty nor received
pardon, he is incapable of election to the
House of Commons, and that fresh writ of
election be ordered for Tiffany county, Ireland.

PROFESSOR RITTER of Vassar College ha

PROFESSOR RITTER of Vassar College has
something to say of the decline of church
music, which he deeply regrets. He thinks
the only radical means toward change for
the better is to oblige every student of theol-
ogy to acquaint himself with the rudiments
of music, and especially of composition;
that if possible he should obtain some pro-
ficiency in singing, and that he should take
course OF lectures on the history of church
music. Every university or seminary of the
ology should have, the Professor thinks, a
professorship of sacred musical art. He has
been assured by many clergymen that the
singing of noble anthem has seemed to i'm
prove their powers as preachers, to highten
their inspiration, and to widen their emo
tional horizon. Singing schools, under the di-
rection of musicians who have made the
study of pure church music speciality,
should be established for the purpose of rem
dering the members of church choirs efficient
in the singing of works capella of the an
cient masters, as well as of more modern
compositions. eff we must have music in
our churches" asks Professor Ritter, "why
not try to have the genuine artcle?'

DECISION IN EQUITY.-The Boston Journal
reports the following decision relative to juris-
dction in cases in equity by Judge Lowell Of
the U. S. District Court:
The bill in equity was brought by j. Merrill
Brown, assignee in bankruptcy, against the
Cobb Lime Company, corporation formed un-
der the laws of Maine, ID. III. Ingraham agent,
and a party in the suit.
The motion was that the bill be dismissed for
want of jurisdiction, and so far as the agent
was concerned the bill was dismissed by con-
sent. The question to be decided was, whether
a bill in equity can be maintained in Massachu-
sets against a corporation established under
the laws of another state.
The Court decided that the corporation was
not liable to be sued in this state; had not been
duly served with process, aud as it did not con-
sent to jurisdiction the bill must be dismissed

There are four living Queens of Spain, so
called-Christina, widow of Ferdinand VII,
who resides at Sainte Addresse, near HavTe;
Isabella H., mother of Alfonso XII; the
Duchess of Aosta, wife of Prince Amadeo. of

This is the deliberate verdict of the St. Louis

any difference how Mrs. Rouseby acts, so be 1t
discreetly.

The story goes that rich old French woman
left by will to her physician, in grateful recog-
milton of his enlightened care and sage instruc-
tions which had enabled her to live to such an
advanced age, an old oaken chest with all that
it contained. The heirs, when the will was
read, were in fear that the doctor was to get
the lions share of the treasure; but their ap-
prehensions ended when, on opening the chest,
he found nothing but the drugs and potions
he had, during twenty years, ordered for his

HEREAFTER we must include the Teton
Sioux in the list of the Lost Tribes. These
Sioux were supposed to be a great nation of
hostile Indians living in Montana, and large
appropriations have been asked for their civ
illzation and support. Now a special COM
mission from the Interior Department has
been hunting for the tribe with about as
much success as rewarded the search of the
early discoverers for Ell Dorado. 1t reports
that no such nation has any existence, and
that for the last two years not even a glimpse
of Teton Sioux feather has been seen. 1t
seems that three years ago ''big Injun"
presented himself one day after dark at Fort
Peck, and informed the Indian agent that he
was ''Stting Bull" and that he represented
a nation of 1000 souls. Of course he
wanted arms, ammunition, money and blank
cts, and intimated that his great soul was
thirsty and that little whiskey wouldn't go
amss. But even the arid ''Sitting BulP' has
vanished into the the mist of the past. His
people are as unreal as the inhabitants of
Albracca, and he himself as mythical as

THE war between the Pennsylvania Cen
trail and Baltimore & Ohio railroads is al
ready quite as exciting as any contest be-
tween Erie and N. Y.Central, and bids fair to
become the ''boss" railroad war of the dec
ade. AS soon as one road cut down the
price of Baltimore freights the other reduced
the tariff for Philadelphia freights. Other
hostile measures have been taken, and now
through or coupon tickets have been done
away with, much to the inconvenience of the
travelling public. The letter of the President
of the Baltimore &c Ohio, published yester-
day, is a strong defence OF his course.

The Portland PRESS is very ably conducted

The American fashion in children has
crossed the water, and young France has
come to the fore in the land of the vine. Ar
sene Houssaye tells us in his last letter to the
Tribune that he has son ten years old. One
day recently he was told that the boy was
seen with cigar in his mouth, driving two
handsome black horses in the Bois. The pre-
cocious youth was summoned before his fa-
ther and asked whose horses he was driving.
His own, he said: he bought them dirt
cheap, only 5000 francs, and the dealer threw
in basket-carriage, But how did he pay
for the team, insisted the perplexed father.
"Oh," replied the intelligent younker, ''the
dealer knew you. He has sold horses to you
before; he knows he will get his money some
day or other" Perhaps it is unnecessary to
say that the boy went back to his school next
day, and that he went on foot.

THE century has not before seen so many
instances of defective memory as have come
to light since the Pacific Mail investigation
opened. The American politician has the
reputation of being singularly forgetful of
promises made during political canvass;
still he can generally manage to preserve
pretty accurate recollection of the money he
has expended. But the minds OF Messrs.
Whitney and Dillon and Wood and Schu-
macher are perfect blanks, unwritten tablets,
as regards the past. Surely the art of mne-
monies should be introduced into our COM
mon school curriculum. Mr.. King appears
to be something of a Bourbon, not able to
forget anything, and so keeps away from

THE star system has just lost one of its
strongest supporters. Mr.. Max Strakosch
has been obliged to cancel his engagements
with Albani as he found he was losing
money. He paid her $3.50 night, and
found that the increased expense was not met
by a corresponding increase in the receipts.
Indeed at her first night in Cincinnati only
81, ,450 were taken, and on the succeeding night
when she did not sing there were $4,000 in
the house. The truth is the second opera
was the more popular. So Mr.. Strakosch
wisely comes to the conclusion that it is the
opera and not the singer that draws, and that
the public are guided by the general excel
lence of presentation rather than the in
dividual brlliancy of single singer.
