- There is nothing moro cruel in the
history of politics than the way Grant
has gone back on his sorc-hcad friends at
home. Just as they were organizing
grand anti-Hayes and pro-Grant party
for 1880, he writes home from England
that he is Il tirst-class Hayes man, be-
licvcs in his policy and applauds his un-
dertaking.
= Mrs. Hayes, according to a letter
writer, when she expressed her regret
that her protrait in Harpcr's Weekly
"madc her look so DID," did SO because
she had conviction Of the positive worth
of sweetly brilliant smiles and a graceful
dcmcanor, and wishes to be as handsome
and popular as possible SO as to aid her
husband in conciliating folk.
- The seizure of newspapers in France,
and the dismissal of mayors and other
public officials not in sympathy with the
government, forms the staple of the
French news at present. Among the
latest exploits of the government is the
seizure of the European edition Of the
New York (omiv dcs Estats Unis, which
has been quite emphatic in dcnouncing
the arbitrary policy of the new McAIahon
administration.
A New York letter says: "Thc re-
quest of Mr.. j. B. Manning, the most
prominent dealer in Southern securities,
to have one of the South Carolina State
commissioners come on to this city and
verify the bonds held here, and thus save
q vast amount of trouble and risk in tor
warding them to Columbia, has been de-
MED. The amount Of doubtful bonds is
said to be not over onc-twentieth of the
whole issue, but they must, nevertheless,
60 on to Columbia for vcrifcation.'
- The want of employment in New
York is shown by the fact that large
number of men are engaged catching
ours of high and low degree at thirty
cents head. They appear to be quite
willing to run the risk of being badly
bitten and of contracting the hydropho-
bia for the compensation received. At
last accounts forty-six dog catchers had
been bitten no less than two hundred aud
forty times, or an average of five bites to
q man. 1t will not be surprising if quite
q number of cases of hydrophobia arising
from these bites are soon reported.
- The news. gathercrs with the Russian
army have hard time of it, and, accord
ing to the account of correspondent at
Bucharest, if not inquisitivc, will never
get any information, and, if too curious,
stand an excellent chance of being shot.
The same correspondent mentions the
case of Baron Won Graben, of Hessc-
Darmstadt, who was found prowling
around the cnvirons of the camp at Ploi-
esti He was intcrrogated by the Russian
proyost-marshal, and being unable to
produce any authority for his presence,
was summarily shot as spy.
- The divorce industry does not pros
per in the Western States as it might.
Since the 1st instant it is punishable
crime for lawyers in Illinois to advertise
that they will procure divorces, and the
Indiana Supreme Court has ruled that
decree of divorce issued in Utah between
persons neither of whom is resident of
the Territory is void and imperative. a
statute of Utah provides that where a
person applies for divorce, if the court
is satisfied that the applicant is resident
of the Territory or "wishcs to become
onc," the court may grant divorce. The
Supreme Court of Indiana hold that this
statute was uNra rircs and void, and that
court of Utah cannot thus obtain juris-
diction of non-rcsidents.
- The temporary residence fitted up
for the accommodation of the Car at
Ploiesti is of the most unpretending
character. 1t is but one story high, and
there are only eight rooms-a vestibulc,
an ante. chamber, salon for the aides-dc-
camp and officers on duty, smoking.
room, study, reccption-room, a bed
chamber, and saHe q mangcr. Except
the rcception-room and the antc-cham-
Der they are all extremely small, but they
are upholstered with much elegance. In
the smoking-room which is furnished in
the Turkish fashion with luxurious otto
mans and carpets, there is portrait III
oil of the late Emperor Nicholas and
chromo-lithograph of Prince Charles of
Roumania on horseback. The Car
sleeps on an iron camp-bed, which he
always carries with him. Sixteen is the
largest number that sits at the dinner
table, and that only on gala occasions.
There are no fewer than four hundred
horses-many of them superb animals
attached to the service of his Imperial
Majesty and his suite.
- A New Orleans reporter went
around to interview Mrs. Gaines upon
the final decision in her favor of the
forty-four years litigation in which she
has been engaged, and found her natu-
rally in the best of spirits. She prom
ised to be the friend, and not the opprcs-
sor, of the many people in New Orleans
whose houses and lands are now adjudgcd
to be her property, and concludes as fol-
lows: "N1r. Reporter, pardon me tor my
egotism, but in closing this interview
deem it proper to say that the history of
nv life, if ever written, will prove not
only to my sex, but to others also, what
one can do who holds to the right, and
trusts to the power of a mcrciful God.

Father, you will be successful in the end.

- They do say that in the Princess of
Wales drawing-room, at Marlborough
House, Gen. Grant pulled out an cnor.

when some one prevented him. lie
must not be too harshly judged for this,
for when Mr.. Seward was here, twenty
years ago, and was taken by Mr.. Dallas
in full dress, with ruflled shirt-to Il
private concert at buckingham Palace,
he insisted on injecting himself with tho
fumes of huge Havana just before nc
went in, in spite of a civil hint FROM Mr..
Dallas that the Queen had Il strong per-
