book that il has Ia great deal of Billy
T. on every page.
CHIEF Justice John Marshall and
Richard hidder Meade, father of Bishop
Meade, of Virginia, were engaged in the
battle of Great Ridge, December 9, l715.
The Buffalo Express calls the present
fashion of ladies dresses "Black Crook on
the streets" That 'the crook is fire.
Guently decidedly visible, no one will
deny.
BARON DE RoTHsCHILD owns a pistol
inlaiG with gold and gems and valued
at $4,000. 1t is pronounced curiosity.
We presume it is. A pistol worth that
much money cant be seen every day.
IT is reported that two modern Ian
guages, the Chinese and Arabian, are to
be added to the list of normal school stud
les in Boston. English will be taught in
due time.
THE number Of visitors to Boston to
attend the Bunker Hill ceremonies is put
down at the enormous amount Of 100000.
They must have brought good deal Of
money to the Hub.
The total National, States, county,
city and town debts of this country are
set down at S3,28OOO0,0OO, Of which
1890, 900, 900 are State debts, SlS0,OOO,OOO
are county debts, and $57OOOO,OOO are
city ard town debts.
The amount of grain ''in sight in the
States and Canada, on the 22d of May
was: 1881 l2l bushels Of wheat; S,6Sl,
473 bushels of corn; 2,33l,5lS bushels of
Data; 100, 694 bushels of rye, and 1924
bushels OF barley.
THE father of the Boston boy muir
derer, Jesse Pomeroy, has taken to drink
ing to drown the sorrows caused by his
sons crimes, and has been before the
courts for drunkenness twice during the
past week.
The physicians and undertakers Of
Baltimore have been inspired with new
hope that in spite Of hard times they will
not suffer. The steamer ''SaragOsa, from
Savannah, landed there | 200 watermcl-
ons few DAYS ago.
A MAN who had saved the life of a
daughter of u Boston millionaire received
two dollars and half from the grateful
parent He was so overcome with tn"
magnificent bounty that he paid out
every cent of it TO seventeen organ
grinders 10 serenadc his benctaCtor.-Er.
They are making extensive prepara-
tion, for celebration Of the GLORIOUS
Fourth in Atlanta, Georgia. Hon. AL
exanGcr H. Stephens will deliver the
oration He may ventiIate his third
term ideas OF he may not. Time will
tell.
THE Soathern Home has the peace and
harmony fever very badly. 1t would
like even to decorate Ben. Buffers grave
"iust to see how it would feel No
doubt many persons North and South
would willingly join in paying honors to
this dead hero.
A LARGE poplar tree was recently cut
down in Monroe county, West Virginia,
which turned out $500 feet OF plank.
The tree produced ten logs, each of which
was ten feet in length. The lumber from
this one tree was sufficient 10 erect Il
good sized dwelling house, for which
purpose it was used.
DESPAIR settles upon the Southern
outrage shrieker and the bloody-shirt
shaker. AS they hear the cheers which
Boston gives SO heartily to its Southern
visitors, they feel like eXclaiming, with
the toy balloon merchant who felt the
string which held his property slip from
his hand and saw the whole Concera sail
ing serenely toward the clouds: "Py tam,
dere goes my piznessv'-N l. Irib1me
lTIsa source of remark that since the
harmony movement began, and eXpres-
sons of good will have hrcn uttered to-
wards the South, the papers there have
lost the ''vindictive rancur' oftheir tone.
There is nothing strange about that,
when the policy towards that section was
that of falsehood, rapine, and outrage,
the people would not have been human
if they did not feel vindictive, and in
dulge in expressions of hate to their
oppressors. That this "rancor" has been
abandoned shows that they only wanted
peace.
GENERAL VIM. +. Bartlett has rcceiv-
ed from some of his numerous North
rru friends a handsome testimonial for
his patriotic utterancrs at the Concord
Centennial. Accompanying the present
was letter which closed as follows:
"Your words, as you have abundant oc-
raSion to know, struck the keynote of
the grand centennial harmonies; and the
response from every quarter proves that
the country is ready to forget the ami
mositics OF the past, and maintai'.
broad and generous patriotism in the
future
