WASHINGTON, March ia, 1876.
To-day's sensational develop
| ments have been exceptionally
brisk and fully up to the average
degree of interest shown by Gle
recent events on tile official cor
I ruptiOn record.
The Foreign Relations Commit
tee held a prOtracted session, aud.
among other Witnesses, had up
one who disclosed some very start
ling stories about ex-Aftornsv
General Williams and his official
conduct while III Office. liz what
this witness said be trne, it will be
shown that while lie was Attorney
General, Williams was also regu-
larly subsidized to perform certain
Important acts in tile iuterestc Uf
Spain.
Thus far Secretary Fish has
been regarded free from faint. and
amid all the late disastrous ex
posures .of Cabinet corruptions,
public opi,ion has conceded that
nothing was likely TO be-charged
against Fish, for be certainly was
honest and above reprOach.
Now however, 1t appears that
even the immaculate Secretary oF |
State, has been dragging his Off
cial skirts IN the mire, and with |
this intimation, the popular voice
is already asking whether there l.
to be found in this Administration
one honest man.
1t is stated that a witness has
come forward, declaring that he is
to show that Fish has
regularly furnished the Consul If

A Story of Plus TX.

a Berlin correspondent of the Dahl TELEGRAPH
writes to that Journal | cannot resist the temp
tation of transcriblng a charming story related Of
His Holiness the Pope by the Roman correspon-
dent OF the National Zeltung-a gentleman
whose letters are always interesting aud fall of
valuable intormation-though the story in ques-
ton has nothing whatever to do with the resume
of Germany's doings during the past. year
d" When the Duke of Modena died, lately, and it
was stated In the papers that he had laid the
testamentary obligation upon his heirs to pay
yearly to the Pope until the victory of the good
cause, three per cent. of their entire income to
the end of all time The Pope shrugged his
shoulders, and related the following little Incl
dent to the Cardinal The Duke Of Modena
had kept accredited to the Papal Court a Charge
d'Afairs who was a prelate, and who, like other
diplomists, took holiday abroad every summer.
When he returned to Rome he always paid his
respects to the Pope, and as regularly conveyed
to him the Duke of Modena's devoted homage.
For a year or two the Pope made no remark, but
on one occasion he casually referred to the Dukes
enormous wealth. Next year the reverend dip
lomatist came, as usual, to offer his masters
homage. This time the Pope manifested some
Impotence, and observed that he heard the same
assurances year after year, but-and here he
made ii great gesture as of counting out money
he never saw any practical proof of these profess
sions of devotion. The envoy could not help
smiling, which irritated the Pope to such a de-
gree that he told his Excellency that he might
for the future spare himself the trouble of re-
peating such hypocritical reservations. Natu-
rally the envoy reported the whole occurrence to
the Duke, who thenceforth contributed a thousand
crowns (about one hundrsd and twenty pounds)
yearly to the Peters Pence. The Pope, in con-
Guiding his story, observed, I'll who was so
mean in life is not likely to have become generous

gence to be merely a newspaper canard. There

of Austria-how he was going to leave

Don't get excited, Mrs. Henry, don't get

don't shut that door it will stay open ali night,
and that will make US all sick, you know
a solemn silence fell for a few moments on the
domestic scene, and then Mrs. Henry rose to
business. Anger was not visible on her cOunte-
nance as much as establishment. This was an
entirely new departure of Johns. He had
hitherto been meek and docile when pressed to
the wall. She felt that her supremacy was in
danger; that the situation was critical, and de
manded strong measures.
vi a sudden the water pitcher burst from its
sphere, described a p~arabola in the cleaning
freight, and lighted full upon Johns night
cap. The sloppaiI followed. then the coal
s%cuttle, then a pair Of boots, then the baby's
cradle, followed in rapid succession by a powder
box, a bottle of bay rum, a bronze mantle orna-
ment, a pair of tongs and a box of backing.
Then, with the majestic force of true woman
hood, she snatched the covers from the bed with
one hand and poured a pitcher of ice water over
mis- legs with the other. John arose and shut
the door.
Next morning, as John Henry entered the
office, somewhat late, and looking as if Natures
sweet restorer had rather missed him, his partner
spoke up:
"Well. John, did you try it r.
Yes, Sam, | tried it,"

Whipping Horses.

Prof. Wagner, in writing upon this subject,
says MANY think they are doing finely, and
are proud of their success in horse training, by
means of severe whipping, or otherwise arousineg
and stimulating the passions, and then, through
necessity, crushing the will through which the
resistance was prompted. No mistake can be
greater than this, and there is nothing that so
fully exhibits the ability, judgment and skill of
the real h%orseman, as the care displayed in win
ming instead of repelling the action of the mind.
Although it may be necessary to use the whip
sometimes, it should be always applied judicious-
ly and care should always be taken not to arouse
the passion or excite the will to obstinacy. The
legitimate and proper use of the whip is calcula-
ted to act upon the sense of fear almost entirely.
The affectionate and better nature must be appeal
ed to in training q horse, as well as in training a
child. A reproof may be intended for the good
of the child, but if only the passions are excited,
the result is depraying and injurious. This is
a vital principle, and it can be disregarded in the
management of sensitive and courageous horses
at the risk of spelling them. l have known
many horses of naturally gentle nature to be
spoiled by whipping once, and one horse that
made vicious by being struck with a whip
once while standing in his STALL
