SUN-LlKE.

The New York Sun prints very
clever jeu d'esprit relating the adven-
lures of the Prince of Monaco in search
of a wife. The story is not so plaus.
able as it might be, but it is we'll told,
and the uncautious reader is likely to
be trapped by the skillful manner in
which the whole is explained in tel
egraphic addition. The Prince, it is
said, had dreamed that ho was to find
a wife in a town beginning Mon; ;
and that the occasion would be mark
ed by conjuncture of spades, di;.-
monds, and clubs. After searching in
vain through his native city of Monaco
and Monaghan, in Ireland, he finally
arrived at Monhegan, an Island off the
coast of Maine. There he found a
a girl with blonde hair, digging with a
spade in a diamond-shaped flowerbed.
As he talked and trifled with her he
felt humping blow on his back; he
turned and recognized in the boat.
hook in the hand of an irate parent
the club he had long sought. Spades.
diamonds, and clubs were thus provid'
ed but the Sun in telegraph dis
patch, conveys the intelligence that
the Prince was afterwards discovered
to be q bank.robber in disguise.

GUNTOWN STURGIS.

Gen. Sturgis, in command of the
post 1T St. Louis, and who is Colonel of
the Seventh United States Cavalry
Regiment, applied by telegraph on the
I'd to Gen. Sherman to be sent to his
regiment at once. Sherman replied
that his time would not be up till Oc-
tober, and it would be inconven:ent to
relieve him before that date. Sturgis
feels very much aggrieved on account
of the attacks which have been made
on his record as a soldier in conse-
quence of his severe criticism of Gus
ter, and wants an opportunity to show
his ability as soldier in the field. He
will shortly, under the advice of
friends, publish a vindication of his
own record as soldier during the
War, and 4 justification Of Ills criticism
of Custer. ,s.,.. ,xs

occasioned by the short arrivals. II
there had been larger run, no doubt
the market would have been dull, for
the butchers all complain OF excessive

from the west, and the higher quota
hans for western stock. The home arri-

REMARKS.

The quality of the sheep this week is
scarcely as good as it was last week, while
that of lambs is fully as good, but there
has been a very large number OF them
too many for the market-brought here
by the improved figures and feeling OF
last week, and the result has been de
cline in them. We quote sheep at Ala
65c, few extra at the latter price, aud
lambs 50 OO@5 90, few at the latter, and
7@9c per ID. Some LsoO have beef
taken East. Prices are tending decidedly
downward.

The Black Hills.


Gen. Merritt, United States Army,
has been interviewed by the Chicago
Times, concerning the Black Hills. The
General has been there recently, and
knows what he is talking about. lie
says there is some gold there, but the
yield will, at best, not pay more than
wages, and wherever there seems to be
a promising location it is already COW
cred with experienced and practical
gold miners, with whom the crowd of
people going there now could not pos
sibly compete, even if they had a
chance. The whole thing, he says, is a
wretched showing. Produce is high
and the people cannot get enough to
live on. OF the people going to the
Hills he says:
The great majority of the poor, de-
luded people going there are broken
down city people. Their dress, de-
meanor and habits prove it beyond a
doubt. Recruited by these lying ad-
venturers, greedy to skin them of what
little means friends have contributed
to sustain their delusive hopes, they
come from Philadelphia, Boston, Chi
cage, and other cities in parties of 500
and 400, and when they arrive at Lara
mic City, or Sioux City, Sidney, or any
other of the depots in which they are
swinGled and ileeced by those han pies
for implements outfit and what not
they find themselves ushered into a
new country, into what is for most of
them a wholly Impossible life, and at
their wits end TO preserve themselves

Winter in March.


"Winter, lingering, chills the lap OF
May" is what Goldsmith wrote; but
we must for this occasion substitute
March for May, as winter seems dis
posed not only to come back 10 chill
the lap OF this month. but to furnish
an undue breadth of his white mantle
for the country at large. Within a
brief period snow has fallen to a depth
of from twelve to twenty feet along
the Pacific Railroad, and travel there
is badly blockaded. Ten inches fell at
Memphis, tennessee, just before that

The Money Power.

There is good authority for the state
ment that August Belmont took a
principal hand in drafting the Payne
Resumption bill. Again: 1t was only
the other day that Mr.. Belmont was
announced in the halls of the Capitol,
and the friendly organs gave an ac-
count of how he was closcted with
Mr.. Morrison, Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee. Isn't it about
time that gentlemen like Mr.. Belmont.
who have such palpably personal ends
to serve by influencing legislation,
should keep out of the lobby! Might
we also mention that it is impossible
for members of Congress to appear
openly in contact with pitch, without
the idea of their being defiled thereby,
being forcibly suggested to the public
mind P Washington Chronicle.

Pendleton's Testimony.

Pendleton, "Gentleman George"
was again before the Judiciary Com
mittee on Wednesday last, and the
Washington correspondent OF the ST.
Louis Republican Democratic says OF
his testimony:
"Thc examination of Pendleton by
the committee took place just before
that of Marsh. 1t appears that at the
time he pushed the Kentucky railroad
claim through the War Department
the title of the corporation which he
represented to the road was disputed,
and was at that time pending in the
Kentucky courts. But this fact was
concealed by Pendleton. Further than
this the case was decided adversely to
.the Pendleton corporation. A rehear-
ing was granted on some technica,ity,
and the controversy was finally com
promised. These facts throw some
light on the remark of Senator Steven
son, that the stockholders regarded
what they got under the claim as So
much money made

Senator Ingalls,.

The Homer, Illinois, Press of the 9th
inst, has an editorial article advocat-
ing the nomination of Senator John j..
Ingalls,, of Kansas, for the Vice Presi-
dency. 1t says:
"But more particularly we wish to
speak of the western Senator-Ingalls
of Kansas. We urge his name as the
man for the second place on the Repub-
lican ticket, because he comes from a
section of country that was first bap-
tized in blood in the shareholders re-
bellion. He is from representative
State, and is representative man.
And being thus situated, he becomes a
man eminently fitted to lead the mass
es this year, that shall recount the deeds
of the past as no other year has done.
He is full of sympathy with the people
who have to earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow. Being a cham
pion of those rights, an enthusiasm
could be reused over his name that
would elect him triumphantly, and the
whole ticket he was upon. lie is a
man of ripe attainments."

Thurman Also.

Now it is getting lively. Here is
Hendricks soused until he is as wet as
a wet rag, with crooked water-works
business; and Gentleman George
Pendleton put in his little grave be-
cause of crooked claims: and Tilden
smashed by being run over with crook
ed railroad bonds. And now they
have Thurman, with his red bandanna
handkerchief, also in the tolls. We
copy the following from the Cincinnati
Commercial, Independent:
"We copy the following from the
Toledo SaRday Journal:
Good bye, Pendleton. Your Pres
ideutial goose is cooked CieceLdad

''As the matter stands, this is how
it looks; but then Thurman had slice
of $4,000 or Whereabouts out of the

While we are busy denouncing men
