WASHINGTON NOTES.

The President has appointed the Hon. John
A. Kasson, of Iowa, as Minister to Spain, to
succeed the Hon. Caleb Cushing.
A late Washington dispatch says: "Secre-
tary Sherman and other officers of the treasury
are preparing, as rapidly as the pressure of
other business will allow, for a vigorous over
hauling of internal revenue matters. This
will include special attention to the rapidly-in-
creasing frauds in the whisky tax. The ruling
prices in Western cities is taken as positive
proof thai the ring is firmly on it's feet again
The Russian Grand Dukes Alexis and Con-
stantine called on the President the other day,
and were Hospitality received and entertained.
Reports to the Treasury Department show
that the counterfeiting of coin, principally sill
ver is increasing rapidly. Reports from the
Black Hills mention the coinage of counterfeit
$5-pieces and some arrests.
P. w. Norris, of Michigan, has been appoint
ed by Secretary Schurz Superintendent Of the
Yellowstone National Park
George A. Schneider, a prominent and
wealthy Chicago German, has been appointed
Minister to Switzerland.
The President has appointed A. A. Freeman,
Of Tennessee, Assistant Attorney General of
the Postofice Department.
A Washington correspondent says the Gov
eminent is giving it's attention to the benefits
which it is said are likely to result to the ship
building of this country in consequence of the
European war. A prominent ship-builder who
conferred with the President upon this subject
this week stated that iron steamships can be
built as well on the Delaware, and cheaper,
than on the Clyde.

Heartrending Calamity.

A terrible calamity recently occurred
in the Norwegian village of Ellingso.
The schoolmaster had called the chill
dren of the village together with the OBJ
iect of examining them, using for his
purpose the second floor of q large I'M
finished Lighthouse, to which access was
gained through window by means of a
ladder, the staircase not being finished.
Twenty children had assembled, and the
examination was nearly concluded, when
suddenly the schoolmaster observed
heavy volumes Of smoke penetrating the
room, directly followed by flames. Rush
ing to the window he observed to his
terror that the ladder had disappeared,
thus cutting off the only means of es-
cape. Selling couple of the children,
he threw them out of the window; but,
blinded, suffocating and scorched, he
was unable to get hold of any more, and
jumped himself through the window,
breaking one leg in the fall. All the
men in the village were out fishing and
the women away, thus no assistance was
possible, and the poor children were left
to their fate. Only four of the whole
number escaped, all more or less burned
and bruised, while sixteen persisted, the
floor giving suddenly away

MISCELLANEOUS GLEANINGs.

Expression is almost universal that there
will be no great trouble from grasshoppers this
year in the usually devastated districts.
Ex-President Grant and family spent several
days in Harrisburg, Pa, last week, as the guests
of Don Cameron.
The Military Academy at West Point has
turned out this year twice as many graduates
as there are vacant places for in the army
The fresh beef shipped to Europe during the
eighteen months ending March last was 81
27S,81O pounds, valued at $3,O26, 483. The
statement shows a gradual increase from &c.
900 pounds in October, 1875, to 6,7O7, 855 in
March the present year.
On hearing of the imprisonment of the Con-
sui at Acapulco, Mexico, some four or five weeks
ago, by the revolutionary authorities there,
President Hayes ordered man-of-war to that
port to demand his release. Dispatches re-
ceived at Washington from the naval COM
mander report that the Consul has been re-
leased.
The steamer Lee was recently burned off
Tybee island. Two passengers and two of the
crew were lost.
Alexander Fl. Stephens has so far recovered
his health as to be able to leave his house.

Poor CarIOtta Again.

The Empress Carlotta of Mexico has
not improved in mental health. Since
the death of her favorite medical attend
ant, who had managed to secure her con-
fdence, the unfortunate princess has
appeared gloomy. The cessation of his
visits caused her great irritation, and
she has now become violent The doc
tor at Gheel was the only person to
whom she would speak. She evidently
misses his visits without having a proper
sense of the fact, for she never asks
about him nor demands that he should
be sent for, but the want is manifested
by an increase Of irritation. The visits
of the Queen Of the Belgians do not
calm the nervous excitement of the En-
press, and the King never shows himself
when he visits the Chateau of Tervueren.
From the apartments of the Empress he
can, without being observed, see her.
and lament without restraint her sad
condition. Setting aside her mental
malady, the widow of the unfortunate
Emperor Macmillan is physically we'll.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Another demonstration of the sympathizers
with the Tichborne claimant was made in Lon
don few days ago. procession numbering
10000 people paraded the streets, and marched
to the House of Parliament to petition for the
pardon of the claimant.
RoumaDia is alive to the necessity of protect
ing her frontier from Turkish invasion, and
has taken steps toward the location of a heavy
military force in that direction.
The Persians deny that they have any inten-
ton of adding to the troubles of Turkey by
coming forward at this juncture with claim
to Bagdad or any other portion of the Sultan's
donlinions.
The Gar has resolved that he will not at
tempt to direct or take any part personally in
the coming campaign, except in the way of
general inspection and encouragement.
The Mediterranean squadron of the United
States has obtained the requisite permission to
pass through the Dardanelles from the Porte,
and will Immediately proceed to the Bosphorus.
Greece is preparing, in case of war, to incite
insurrection in the Greek provinces of Turkey,
and in the Island of Crete.
dispatch from Japan announces the defeat
of the insurgents, and their fight in the direc-
ton Of Hionga. The instruction is regarded
as nearly ended.
Reports Of Russian alliance with Persia are
renewed, and it is said the Shah has offered to
send $4,000 men to reinforce the Russian army
on the Georgian frontier of Turkey.
The Servians are endeavoring to incite the
Greeks to war against Turkey. Very sensibly
the Greeks propose to maintain a strict neu-
traity.
In his manifesto virtually declaring war
against the Ottoman empire, the Gar declares
that, as the natural protector of the Sclavonian
nations of the East he has been compelled to
obtain by force of arms the protection which
has been refused through the obstinacy of
the Porte, and that the war is not one
OF conquest, but will cease after these results
have been secured. The manifesto also de-
clares that Russia intends to occupy Bulgaria
and hold the province as material guarantee
for the execution of the reforms ; that she will
invite other European powers to take part in
the occupation. and, finally, that she disclaims
any intention to acquire territory permanently.
All the Russian merchantmen have quit the
harbor of Constantinople, and the Russian
residents are leaving the city.
dispatch from Odessa, the great Russian
grain mart, reports that an early bombardment
of that town is expected
Lord Derby declared, in speech in the
English House of Lords, few days ago, that
Turkey "must not rely On material support
rom England"
According to advices from the Russian from
tier, the Cars troops are moving very slowly
on account of bad roads and bad weather.
The Roumanian roads are in such hopeless
state that three weeks is named as the shortest
time in which they can be made fit for heavy

The Theory of Evolution.

Sir Wyviile Thomson said in lectm

University, that the great stumbling
block, from the natural-history side
the question, in the way of an acceptanc
OF the evolution hypothesis was that an.
such passage from one species to anothe

IS Blood. IagO.99

A man came ihto q restaurant last
night, and mounted a high stool, leaned
over the counter and ordered porter
house steak with eggs on the side, and
some ale and oysters to begin On. In
about half an hour he had finished his
repast and was beginning to deliberate
ON what kind of dessert he would wind
up on, when man walked in, and, tap
ping him on the shoulder, remarked

conner, pulling out large-sized six

eff you'll just step into the street and
pace off your distance, I'm your man, -
said the feeder, who had just finished his
pie, and, whipping out a revolver, he
sprang off his perch and rushed out after
the other into the street.
The frightened restaurant man got
down behind the counter and bent his
ear to listen to the shots and the rush of
the mob, but he didn't hear anything un-
usual, and in about five minutes he
recollected that there was $3.50 owing
on the meal. Then he went out on the
sidewalk to investigate.
"Was there a row out here few min
utes ago?" he inquired of stars azer on
the sidewalk.
"Didn't see any. I've been here for
the last half hour or So"

ally dawned that far larger force is required
for the task which Russia has before her than
was at first prepared.
The mobilization of the whole Russian army
has been agreed upon.
Roumania has entered into an alliance, often
sive and defensive, with Russia.

will not show themselves inferior to their
veteran comrades. I trust you may soon return

Damages by an Insect.

Traffic on railways and canals has di-
minished, public taxes do not pay for
collection, and poverty, privation and
misery have come upon twenty-five de-
partments of France from the ravages of
the phylloxera insect which attacks the
roots of the grapevines. Such is the
official report of a committee appointed
by the Academy of Sciences. The i'm
portant districts Of Champagne, Bur
gundy, the Loire, and the Cher, are now
threatened, and, from the greatly ex-
tended foothold which the insect has now
gained, it is feared that it's operations
will be very rapid. It is not impossible
that the principal industry Of France
will be crippled for years. In spite Of
all this, wine is now quite cheap. The
hard times have lessened consumption,
and the product is SO huge-900, 100000
iters, or $50, 100000 gallons yearly, from
France alone-that the stock i'll the
market is maintained in spite of the
great ravages Of the insect The cheap
