A NEw HAVEN landlord has been
swindled in rather neat way. A fel-
low went into his house and PLAYED
some game of chance in which he
became indebted to the proprietor.
Then he informed him that he
couldn't pay the bill, whereupon the
proprietor suggested that he leave
his Ulster overcoat The man said
he preferred to leave his pantaloons,
and the i'lea was so unique that it
was accepted, and the young man
pulled them off, to the amusement of
the crowd His boots were long,
however, and with his Ulster, cover
ed up his legs. So he went to an
other hotel and took lodging. The
next morning he called the landlord
and declared he had been robbed of
his pantaloons and $50, and some
what angrily demanded that his loss
should be made good, which was
done.

THERE is a story afoat, says the
New York Commercial, to the effect
that Marsh was tampered with by
certain Democratic leaders, and that,
in consideration of furnishing evil
dence against Belknap, he was to re-
ceive $4,000 through the National
Democratic Committee at Washing
ton. His conduct, from the time he
made his appearance at Washington,
on the 2lst of February, up to his go
ing before the committee was, to say
the least, most extraordinary. His
sneaking hurriedly out of the coun-
try is very suspicious. We have not
had the whole of the Belknap affair
yet.

BY AND By.

By and by the roses wither,
BY and by the leaves will fall.
BY and by the crimson autumn
Sheds its lustre over all.
BY and by our hopes will brighten,
Though the swallows homeward fly
And false friends who seem to love us
May forget us, by and by.
By and by the rose that withers
Will uplift its dropping head.
Awakened from its slumbers
BY an angels gentle tread.
BY and by will hearts be broken
That have never known sigh;
Friendless ones with joy will Tighten
In the coming by and by.
By and by there will be false hearts,
By and by there will be true;
Do hear you say you doubt it,
If you do then, why do Won?
By and by bright eyes will moisten
When beneath the turf we lie,
There will still be those who love us,
In the silent by and by.

A MOUNTAIN OF SALT.-A mass OF
90,000,000 tons Of pure solid, com
pact rock salt, located on an island
1S5 feet high, which rises from mis-
erable sea a-marsh on the route from
Brashear to New Iberia, up the river
Teche, in Louisiana, is one OF the
wonders of the world. How this ISL
and, containing over 300 acres of ex
cellent land, ever came into existence
in such a locality is matter of con-
lecture. Vegetation is prolific, and
the scenery is varied and beautiful.
Here is an immense bed of pure rock
salt, whose extent is yet only esti-
mated, and scientific men are puzzled
to know what produced it.

You've George Washington asked
permission of 3 Mr.. Cary to address
his daughter before he vcntured to
speak to her herself. The reply of
the old gentleman was: "If that is
your business here, sir, wish You to
leave the house, for my daughter has
been accustomed to ride in her own
coach" The lady General Washing
ton afterward married resembled Miss
Cary as much as one twin sister ever
did another.

imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has
Kept pace with the discoveries of science,

and consequent revolutions have occurred

which time, the wide circulation which it

The morning opened gloomily but
by ten o'clock the sun had driven

as bright as could be desired. Long
Before nine o'clock the hour when the
grounds were to be opened an i'm

was steadily increased by the arrival
of thousands upon thousands every
few minutes for hours. Various esti.

of persons in the enclosure and they

Commissioners was carried out exact

by Mr.. Cartiss, he put in motion the
grand Curtiss Engine, which furnish

United States, all the members of the
Cabinet; all The judges ofthe Supreme
Court and most of the members of
Congress, all the members of the Dip

Governors of nine States with many
other officials and distinguished men,
were present on the platform. The
grounds were brilliant with uniforms,
and the variegated dresses of the rep.

thing was not ready, as | have said
in previous letters would be the case.
This is more the fault of the Exhibi.

main building and Machinery Hall.
