Special TeIegraphic Correspondence Of the
Courier-JOurnal.1

Special TeIegraphic Correspondence Of the
Courier-Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 3l-Mr. Blaine's
Republican enemies were exaltant to-day
over the testimony of one Mulligan, the
former boOkkeeper Of Warren Fisher.
Mulligan's testimony, il it is to be cred
tied, went to show that NJ Blaine was
the real owner Of the bonds which we're
bought by the Union Pacific railroad.
This involves, however, the allegation
that three respectable persons, Fisher,
Atkins, and Colonel Tom Scott, have all
testified falsely. Republicans comment
on the affair according to their preju-
dices, for or against Mr.. Blaine; and
while some think this will prevent his
nomination al Cincinnati, his friends are
apparently as confident as ever.
The Democrats in Congress are tax
very little interest In the result Of tia
investigation, regarding it as a RepublI.
eau war over the nomination.
THE WITNESS HARVEY.
Harvey, who undertook to swear that
he had bribed Mr.. Kerr, had been or
dered to report at one o'clock TO the
Committee on War Expenditures, but
utterly failed to put in an appearance.
Many suspect that he has no idea Of
coming back. He pretended the other
day that be was sick, and must 20 TO
New York to consult his physician, but
his real object undoubtedly was to re.
ceive further directions from his friends,
Darling and Bliss.
Information has come here to-day,
from q number OF sources in New York,
giving a very bad account of Harney.
Apart from his late infamous proceed.
ing, he will be shown to be a man of i'm.
paired character. Among other things
it will be proven that he was not born IN
New York, Or ever in America, as he
swore the other day. Some of the Re.
publicaDs are as much Disguised az the
Democrats at the SANDER of Mr.. Kerr,
but others are pretending to believe it,
Their game is to make it appear that O
story prima facie is made out against
Mr.. Kerr, so as to give a color of limo
cencs to Robson and Belknap. Mr.
kerr's health is suffering, evidently, by
the excitement Of this attack, and it il
apparent that the plot is as much an IS
%sassination Of life as of character.
TIKI HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Mr.. Gibson. OF New Orleans, in biz
. argument today before the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations for a modi
~ication of the bill to carry out the Ha
; waiian treaty, urged that the injury b.
the bill to the rice and sugar interests O
the South would greatly affect the hemp
horse and mule trade of Kentucky an,
the other States upon the Ohio river
Governor Antoine also insists that tin
proposed legislation to carry out tn
treaty is fatal to the interests of the col
cred population in Louisiana.
: THE CASE OF THE MAR MERRITT.
The Committee on the Expenditures c
!. the Treasury Department will probabl
report on the Mary Merritt case on Sa.
urday, and will %exonerate Secretary Bril-
tow from any imputation of unworth
conduct. The feeling here is so stron
&c in the Secre;ary's favor, that even an NJ
favorable report would carry no weigh
whatever.

Two of these dogs eau drag as much
as one man. Nothing can be more ex-
hilarating than dog.sledging in the Are
tic Regions ON a fine day. The rafting
pace of these dogs, their intelligence in
choosing the road through the broken
ice, the strict obedience paid by the team
to one powerful dog whom they elect as
leader, the arbitrary exercise Of authcri-
ty by the master dog, the constant use
of the whip, and the running %conversa-
ton kept up by the driver with the dill
ferent dogs, who well know their names,
afford constant enjoyment. However
useful they may be, these Arctic dogs
seem to be de6cientin that ~atteet'onate
disposition which endears their species
so much to man. A traveller once said
that he believed the Esquamaux dogs to
be the most ungrateful creatures in crea-
ton. He had travelled for several hun
bred miles by sledge, and for six weeks
It was his duty regularly to feed the dogs;
but after only a few weeks absence, OF
the conclusion Of his journey, they would
not recognize him in the slightest de-
gree. 1t is impossible TO domesticale
these creatures, as under tender treat
ment they sicken aud die.

Where BOxWood Comes From.

Not every one is aware that the
wood used by engravers is the growth
of those far-away regions around the
Black and Caspian seas, the very names
of the ports from which it is shipped
being unfamiliar. Very few who con-
slider themselves good geographers
have ever heard Of Poti or Abkassia
or Tzaritsin, and yet these are flourish
ing commercial towns reached by the
way of the Golden Horn of CONSTANT
nople. For all fine engravings Turkey
lockwood is used, and as its quality va
ries much some skill is necessary to a
good selection. The best is of delicate
yellow color, clear and free from spots;
Il cuts smoothly and evenly, with no
crumbling or tearing, but every line
cut will be perfect. 1t is to the use OF
this wood by our artists that the supe-
riority of their designs and wood en-
cravings must in a great measure be
attributed. In consequence of its
scarcity and high p ice, many substi-
tutes have been resOrted to-; maple, ap-
pie, pear, mahogany have been exper.
imented upon; but hitherto no wood,
metal, or composition has been dis,
covered that possesses the requisite
qualities. In addition to engraving,
lockwood is used for scales, rules, gaug-
ING rods, and similar articles on which
figuring is made; and there are facto-
in Connecticut that consume hundreds
of tons annually for this purpose
alone. Any one that has ever held a
carpenters rule in his hand knows

Lord Brougham on Good Breeding,

The same observations which were
made on the arts are applicable to a
certain refinement of manners, which
is common to all highly civilized states,
but which, perhaps, arises in despotic
countries at an earlier stage of society.
This refinement is in itself of little
merit or value, if, indeed, it is not
rather to be accounted a defect. Its
chief characteristic is luxurious in
dulgences of various kinds, and polite
ness which consists so much in sup
preston OF the natural feelings that
It is nearly akin to falsehoOd. Never
to say anything that may give pain,
unless where our duty requires it, is a
rule of sound morals as well as good
manners. But never to say anything
which those present may dislike, nay,
from which they may dissent, is the
rule OF refined and Courtly breeding.
Absolute command of countenanco
and figure, calm, placid department,
unbr0ken ease, sustained dignity,
habitual smiles, indiscriminate respect,
nay, the semblance of esteem or even
love for everything that approaches,
and the taking a ready interest in
whatever concerns every one, but
showing none at all in what regards
ourselves merely-these are the con,
stituents Of highly-refned and cOurtly
manners and these imply such an un'
natural suppression of feelings, such
an habitual restraint upon the emo
tons of every kind, such a false posi-
ton of the mind at all times, as il
most easily learnt under the sway and
the dread of a despotic prince or his
provincial representative. Accord
ingly the manners of the orientals are
known to be polite in an extravagan
degree while there is a want of pOlisl
in the subjects of free states which ha
made the roughness of republican
almost prOverbial.
