An Historical Phenomenon.

Just before Maior Andres embarka-

Derbyshire, to pay Miss Seward visit;
and it was arranged that they should
take pleasure ride to the Park, Miss
Seward told Andre, that besides enjoy

valued friends, among them MIR. New
ton, whom she playfully called her
minstrel" and Mr.. Cunningham, the
curate, whom she regarded as very ele-
CANT poet.

great speed. just as he reached
the spot where l stood, three men
rushed out of a thicket, and seizing his
bride harrled him away after closely
searching his person. The countenance
OF the stranger was a very interesting

WANTED 1T BACK AGAIN:-The PEN
stoned soldiers who fought for the Gov
ern ment in the Mexican war, and who
fought against the Government in the
Confederate war, have recently had a
little convention in the nature of love
feast, at Vicksburg; and there adopted
memorial to be laid before Congress
requesting that their Mexican war PEN
sions be restored to them, notwithstand-
ing their little escapade during the war
of rebellion. Having fought to sustain
the Government once, they think they
should be paid for that, although they
subsequently fought to overthrow the
Government that paid them. They like
the pension, but hate the Government
Glove the treason, but despise the
traitor" Their next memorial may
possibly be for an allowance OF pensions
in both wars. Nous gerrons.

thing about our gold and silver supply.
He has accordingly presented resolu.
tion calling upon the Secretary of the
Treasury for a report on this subject.
Judge Kelley wants TO know, you know,
how much specie we have on hand, in
gold and silver; what amount has been
purcssssed. and when; how much was re-
ceived by the sale Of interest bearing
bonds, and the amount of interest paid

IT is asserted by Eastern politicians
that ROSCOE CoNKLING is to be Gen

The Presidency. Grants first choice is
for himself. But falling of success in
that, he then intends to make Conkling
his successor--if he can. He is moved
to this for the reason that Conkling has
never given him any trouble; has always
serenely supported Grant without ask.
ing any impertinent questions; whereas,
both Morton and Blaine have some
times annoyed him by following their
own ambition, and not bowling down to
his. A President can do a good deal tor
anether's nomination, by his control OF
patronage; but we doubt about Grant
being able to give the nomination to
anybody, if he can't get it himself.

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-The Times thit

Partly from sincere wish to end the
insurrection, and partly from anxiety to
escape Intervention, the Sublime Porte

by military dispositi0ns, and the
latter by political and diplomatic actiy-
ity. The severe checks the insurgents
have recently suffered, and the large re-
Inducements the Turks have lately re-
ceived, render offensive operations by
the insurgents very Improbable. Mukh-
tar Pasha seems likewise to have In
structions not to operate against the
insurgents, but to begin by the occupa-
tion OF the important positions and the
debouches Of the Montenegrin. frontier.
Thereby sort of Gordon wfil be drawn
to prevent the Montenegrins from assist

in Herzegovina about as one to two.
None OF the powers will grudge Tur

unaided. On the contrary, all of then
will be relieved from much inconven

yious fruitless efforts, it is doubtful
whether this eleventh hour one is likely
to be much more successful.
