Germany and Russia.

The German Notifications on the Rus
sian frontier are being pushed forward
SO rapidly that they will probably be
completed before the stipulated time,
which is the end of the year 1880. OF
the nine detached forts around Posen,
three will be handed over to the militia
ry administration next year, three more
in 1879, and the three others in 1880.
The enlargement of the fortress at Thorn
will be proceeded with next spring, and
five detached forts will be built around
it at the same time. The outer forts at
Konigsberg, of which there will be five.
and sixth fort which was commenced
two years ago at the village Of Quednau
near the city, will all be finished by the
spring of next year, and Konigsberg
will then be defended by twelve forts al
together. An equal degree of activity
prevails in the other strong places on the
Russian frontier of Prussia. Pail Mall

POLITICAL POINTS.

member Of the New York delegation save Mr..
Chittenden, asking the President not to again
send in the names Of Messrs. Roosevelt and
Price as Collector and Naval Officer in New
York, the President, Washington telegram
informs us, returned a courteous but peremp-
tory refusal.
A Washington telegram says "the speeches
of Senators Thurman and Voorhees, in the ex-
ecrtive session of the Senate are regarded as
indicating that the Democrats, as q body, in
tend to stand by the Presidents nominations,
and to treat the Tenure-of Office act as uncon-
stitutional"

Disappointment and Insanity.

From Texas comes the story of pref
ty German girl, Barbara Felehan, who
has become crazed through faith in
fortune-teller. About nine months
ago one Of these prophets told her that
she would meet her future husband in
Dallas, Tex, and gave her his photo
graph. She accordingly left her home,
and on arriving at Dallas, without any
means, obtained place as cook in a
private family. Then she began to
search for her husband, and found a
gentleman resembling the photograph
in the person of a leading merchant,
She claimed him at once, but he did not
aecede to her demand, and this so preyed
upon her mind that she became insane.

An Arizona Incident.

An interesting story comes from Arr
iona. Kellogg and Garter owned min
ing claim, and foolishly quarreled about
it. Kellogg was man of few words;
eight and free was his touch upon his
revolver" With little ado, he fired at
his partner, and supposed that he had
sent a bullet into his breast; but, behold /
Carter was a good young man, and had
a Bible in the pocket of his gray work
ing-shirt. The ball struck upon the sa-
cred book, its course was turned, and
Carter was unhurt. Then the good
young man whipped out his cleaning
bowie-knife, sprung upon Kellogg, and
carved him SO artlstically that his hold
on bis revolver relaxed, and he was like
to die. The good young man stanched
his opponents wound, and rode away
for physician, returning within twenty
four hours, having made total distance
of over ninety miles. Kellogg is recov-
ering. Garter, to avoid arrest, sought
to cross the river, and this time the Bible
didn't save him. He was drowned. The
moral Of this recital is very intricate.
But it is plain that Carter wasn't born to
be hanged

the loss of the Huron has all been taken. A
formal decision will not be made for some time.
It is stated that the decision o. the court will
be that the Huron was lost by all error of judg-
ment in the commander. His course was right,
and he had the fullest confidence in his obser-
vations, which probably were correct, but he
failed to take sufficiently into account the fact
that his vessel was very long, drew compare
lively small quantity of water, and offered little
resistance to the sea, which in the gale was
setting in SO strongly toward the land. The
ship was heading right, but had been forced
out of it's course by the gale and the tide.
