and were prepared to welcome among
them men of all political parties who
were slisposedIto conduct themselves
as lawabiding citizens.
That the attempted assassination of
Mr.. Twichell was for personal and not
for political reasons there cannot be
any doubt. And it is quite probable
that he, of all others, knows the cause.
Fair-minded men will be gratificd to
know that the attempt to fasten the
crime upon the Democratic party in the
South has failed SO signally. Radical
newspapers and ranting ministerial
demagogues should wait for evidence
in the future .before they make asser-
tfons that are entirely unwarranted
and cannot be sustained. Had poll
tics been at the bottom of the Coushat-,
ia assassination Mr.. Woodburn would
surely have found it out and have said
so. We are glad that this latest SLAM
der upon the Southern people has
been so ably refuted. Mr.. Morton's
clergyman at indianapolis seems to
have emptied himself without any
just vocation.-Enquirer

The establishment of Governor TIL 3
den is conducted upon scale Of mag
nificence well worthy of so wealthy
an official and in manner to reflect :
high honor upon the State. Dom
Pedro, who passed through here at
daybreak some weeks ago, and had
the Governors mansion pointed out
to him, is said to have remarked that
he was the only official who seemed
TO have palace worthy of him. The
Governor maintains about twelve SER
wants, one of them, the cook, having
formerly been in the service of the
s,me Dom Pedro. He has eight horses,
two of which are his favorite saddle
steeds. He pides nearly every evening
upon one of these through the beauti-
ful Washington Park. and his grace
full bearing, even upon highly met
tied animal, is universally conceded.
He rides always unattended except by
personal friends, with whom he often
tries a gallop on the roads outside the
park. lie maintains also seven car
riages-landau. brett, ,brougham, dog
cart, clarence, aud two buggies-and
ii OCCASION calls could treat the AL
banianssto a fine four-in-hand. An
establishment SO extensive requires
lavish expenditure, aud his yearly ex-
tense for. the household alone Is esti-
mated at $3.50 This includes also
receptions and dinners given in his
capacity as Governor, Tor none of
which the State pays assertions to the
contrary notwithstanding.-N. Y. .sf

Mrs. w. retired carly, worn out
with the duties of the day, and Wadso
having added up his grocer's and
butchers book, washed himself at the
kitchen sink with yellow soap, locked
up the house, extinguished the gas,
and went sadly. sorely and hungrily
to bed.
"Darnation !" he exclaimed as he
fell over the rocking-chair on enter
ing the pitch dark room, and was
kicked in the ear with the rocker.
go. heavens! what a noise you're
making!" screamed his wife from the
bed.
"Why in thunder didn't you leave

yelled, as he tried to get out of the
clutches of the kicking fioundering
chair.
"It's your own stupid dawkwardness,
she exclaimed. u
"Ifs your confonnded npsetting I"
retorted Wadso, getting up on his
feet and sitting down in the place
where the bed used to be.
"Good Lordy! what in the ID is
this ?" he yelled, upon finding the bed
gone, and he clutched wildly at the
table to save himself from falling,
dragging a globe of gold fish down
upon his head with crash.
"YouIl break everything in the
house!" cried his wife, Haunting out
of bed in the opposite corner and
lighting the gas.
"House be hanged. W-wo-weman
I'm, I'm drowned!' gasped Wadso,
wringing the water out Of his hair,
eyes and shirt.
"It serves you right! Look at the
muss you've made 7" snapped Mrs. w.
as she bobbed around IN her night
clothes to pick up her Hopping fish
and put them in basin.
Wadso having got on his feet again
was about to reply, when he beheld
the partner of his joys and sorrows
suddenly drop the basin, kick out like
mule; and prance around the room
on one foot, like dancing dervish, fin
ally collapsing in a groaning, moan
ing, sobbing, hystcrical heap of bare
foot agony and sleeping raiment,
"Cramps, ch 2" he inquired, solicit
ously, as he wiped his neck dry with

THE SCIENCE OF CURRENCY.

A proposition has been sent to the Commit
taa On Ranking and. Currency Of the House
Of Representatives, suggesting that com-
mites of scientific experts be appointed,
TO INQUIRE whether there is any science
of money and currency, and II they hnd
there is. to express the laws briefly ana
clearly; but if it shall appear that no snch
science is known, they shall endeavor 20
"evolve, discover, or create sucn science.
Probably this plan will excite general smile,
for il ia verv hard to find person who does
not think that he knows all about such mat
tiers. and is only surprised that there are 80
many foolish people who will not agree with
him.
In spite of all this, however. it is impossi-
BILE to sresist the conviction that we are con-
tinually approaching the time when the AFFAIRS
of this world will be conducted on scientific,
that is, on common sense, principles. a
good many persons are accustomed to think
Of scientists as theoretical dyeamers, whose
labors are of little or no practical importance
but no idea could be farther from the truth.
A scientific man is one who il endeavoring to
discover Natures laws, and publish them for
the guidance Of mankind. The scientists
show us how to make the most Of the re-
sources placed at our disposal, how to in-
crease the yield Of our land, to reclaim
deserts, to harness the physical forces, 70
avoid disease to live more comfortably and
securely.
In this country, we find ourselves at the
present time in The height of q conflict relating
to the currency, and it seems to beaentirely
overlooked that the elaborate arguments pro
and CON lack even the merit of originality, as
they have been uttered scores Of times in by
gone years. and can be exhumed fromthe lit
erature and official records of foreign coun-.
tries. This sort of repetition becomes monot-
onous, after while, to say nothing OF the
disastrous effscs of an unsettled policy on the
business interests of country. Now that
demagogues have had their say, it is time to
call for the views of science; and We hope the
proposition will receive due consideration. ~

ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-Beyond the mere
intellectual pleasure there is awakened
higher esthetical sentiment in sitting before
such performance as Miss Lucille Western
favored her hearers, last evening. ct the
Academy, in "East Lynne" Throughout
the embodiment of grace and naturalness,
she so effectually carries her audiences with
her that the foot lights fade away, the crude
| coloring of the scenery disappears, and an
episode of life itself is enacted before us.
In the piano scene, where Miss Western
listens to the garrulity of the servants and
drinks in the poison her own jealousy distills,
she looked very much like Ristori-the fea-
lures rigid in an agony of emotion. The
cast was unusually lgood, the Carlyle
of MIR. Kelly and Sir Francis
Lsvison of Mr.. Huntley being both
of them marked with scrupulous care. Not
withstanding severe indisposition, Miss
Florence Kennedy heroically handled her try
ing part with success her devotion to duty
ever brings forth.
On Friday night Miss Western takes her
benefit in the "Ohild Stesler."
The VARIETIES THEATER.-The two per-
formances at this thea.er yesterday ended tie
run Of Robertson's military comedy OF
"Ours." The piece was we'll acted and very
handsomely mounted, and deserved to be a
success This evening Boucicault's emotional
drama of "Hunted Down" will be produced
for the first time in this city. with a very
strong cast, including Mrs. Chanfrau, who
will appear as Mary Leigh character per-
formed by her for fifty consecutive nights at
the Globe Theater, Boston.
The ST CHARLES THEATER. season at
this theater is fast drawing to u close, and
there are left but few opportunities of enjoy
ing the fine scenic attractions and excellent
acting which occur in the interes ing drama
of "Around the World in Eighty Days.
The play is worth seeing and has attracted
full share Of public patronage during it's run
at this theater. The mechanical effects and
ballet dancing are both very clever, and inva-
riably come In for their full share of ap-
p ause.

The Cold SNAP IN FLoRIDA.-SduannGh,
Ga, March 25.-Advices from Southern Ge0r-
gia and Florida say that the early vegetables
have been generally ruined by the recent cold
spell. In the vicinity of Lake City, Fa., four
hundred acres of early vegetables have been
killed, Notwithstanding fires were kept in the
fields during the cold nights. The Polar wave
extended as far south as GAINESVILLE, FA; ard
and Melbourne. This disaster will materially
reduce the shipments of vegetables to North
ern markets during the next few weeks. De-
struction of field crops have been general in
Georgia and Florida, and farmers have to ra-
plant.
