MISCELLANEOUS GLEAN1NGs.

The President was invited by Mr.. Blaine TO
meet him ut his home in Maine. The invita-
ton was declined for want of time
The National Board of Trade has Just held
an interesting, and it is hoped profitable,
four days session at Milwaukee. The attend
ance was meager in numbers, but seems TO
have more than made up in quality what was
lacking in quantity. The discussions took r
wide range, embracing nearly every important
topic relating to the commercial, financial and
industrial interests of the country. Among
other important questions passed upon was the
proposition looking to the adoption of q stand
ard weight of the bushel throughout the
United States; request to the Presi-
dent to recommend to Congress the creation
Of a commission for the purpose of revising
the tariff rates the adoption of memorial TO
Congress for the removal Of the present dis
elimination against the West in the matter OF
direct Importation ; the passage of resolutions
in favor Of reciprocity treaty with Canada
the adoption of resolution recommending the
funding of greenbacks in bonds of the United
States bearing per cent. interest and running
forty years, and expressing the opinion
that the present law for the resump-
ton Of specie payments is insufficient
to accomplish that purpose the denouncing Of
the Bankrupt law as unjust and oppressive in
its operations the adoption OF resolutions
urging the repeal by Congress of the navigation
laws Of the United States, which were char
scterized as unjust and destructive to the
American ship-owning interest and calling

upon Congress to take steps to secure an inter-
national monetary convention for the purpose
of establishing a permanent relative valuation
between gold and silver. A resolution in favor
Of the reconciliation of silver was voted
down.
The Chicago Inter Ocean recently addressed
circular letter to nearly all the members of
the present Congress soliciting their views upon
the question of the reconciliation of silver.
The number Of replies received was 1877, with
the following result: In favor of remonetiza-
ton, 146; against remonetization, 1s; unde-
cided, 81; declined to answer, 2.

dent. "The interview" says correspondent,
"was quite short. Wells assured the President
that his Southern policy was working well, and
that there are at present no troubles in Louisi-
ana. Gov. Wells says that, no matter what
President Hayes wishes in regard to the indict-
ment against him and Gen. Anderson in New
Orleans, he would be powerless, according to
recent decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States. They are TO be tried in Octo-

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Cabinet returned to the capital last week.
A late Washington dispatch says "The
latest information as 10 the direction which
Chief Joseph and his band are taking is that
they are heading for the buffalo range near

relieving Gen. Howard from command. The

troops, and with almost insurmountable diff

Thoughts.

A head properly constituted can ac-
commodate itself to whatever pillows the
vicissitudes of fortune may place under
it.
Every adiuration of love, every oath
of fondness, always contains this mental
reservation: "As long as you are what
you now are"
To speak harshly to person of sensi-
bility is like striking harpsichord with
your fists.
Fools line the hedges which bound
the road of life What can the wise man
do but smile as he passes along it?

broad land Of ours. This Is cause for con-
graduation, as much to ths people Of the
Southern States as TO the people of the North,
and, my friends, let me ask you here-let me
ask you everywhere for us to seek for quar-
rels, if quarrels we must have, elsewhere, and
LET these sectional issues be buried forever.

shop Of Priestly, the bookseller, O
gentleman came in and asked for q
particular edition of Demosthenes.
Priestly did not possess it and as
the gentleman seemed q good deal
disappointed, Parson inquired if he
wanted to consult any particular
page. The gentleman mentioned a
quotation of which he was in search,
when Parson opened the Aldine edi-
ton of Demosthenes, aud after turns
ing over a few leaves, put his finger
on the passage. On another occa.
sion he happened to be in q stage-
coach presently there entered into
it young grandure with two ladies'.
This young gentleman endeavored
to make himself seem very learn,

sage, which he said was from Euri-
pides. The Greek scholar, who was
DOING at the other end of the coach,
awoke at the familiar sounds and
drawing q copy Of Euripides from
the folds Of his cloak, politely asked
him to favor him with the passage.
The student could not and the
ladies' began to litter. Reddening,
the youth said on second thoughts,
the passage, he YVES sure, was in
Sophocles. Porson thereupon pro-
duced o copy of Sophocles, and a.
gain asked him tn favor him with
the passage. The undergraduate
again failed; tho ladies Uttered
gently. "Catch mef' said he, If
I ever quote Greek in q coach a.
gain Stung by the laughter Of
his fellow passengers, he said L
recollect now sir perfectly recol-
lect that the passage is in Aeschy-
lus.' His inexorable tormentor, di-
wing again in the capacious folds Of
his cloak, produced copy Of Aes-
chylus, and again asked him to fav-
or him with the passage. The boil.
ing point was now reached. "Stop |!

not wholly, supporting for the last two
or three months. What p,ovocatien,
If any, there WAS for the murderous
act will probably never be known, as
the alleges murderer and his victim
were supposed to be on good terms:
AS il is generally believed that sane
men have motive for every act they
perform, The -u o:iye IN this case must
have been money. McRavy was paid
his salary OF Sl29 the evening before
his death, and only twenty FIVE cent
piece was found on his person at the
time Of inquest Neither did his at
legged slayer have any money att the
time Of his arrest, and it is believes
that if he robbed his victim he must
have hid the monty between the freight
house ard the place where he was dis
covered by VIM and Eastman.
