Sudden Badness.
EldOra, La, Ledger.

The case of Bill Joseph, the we'll
known grain-buyer ofAckley, is curl
Gus one. Until two years ago he had a
shock Of crow colored hair, bushy black
eyebrows, mustache, and whiskers. He
went to his boyhood home on the sea-
shore, in Delaware, as handsome fell
low as you could see. He sported with
Neptune, and got overhead ed. One
morning he washed his head, and in
drying it with towel rubbed off every
spear Of hair. Then his eyebrows pull
ed out, and his mustache followed, and
last thing of all the chin-whiskers. The
look of amazement and horror that
greeted Mr.. Joseph from the mirror
that morning cannot be depicted by
mortal tongue. The astonishment OF
his friends when he reappeared among
them was equally great. Like a dis
tressed bark, he scudded about under
bare pole. To this day Mr.. Joseph is
at loss to know why he was thus pol
ished off in one short hour.

THE bill introduced in the house of
representatives by Mr.. Fort to prevent
the retirement Of any more greenbacks
by the secretary of the treasury, has
now passed both houses by more than
two-thirds majority. 1t is believed
that the president will sign it, and it
IS stated that the senate finance COM
mlttee has agreed that it will not pass
any further financial legislation the
present session. The passage of this
bill is something of a triumph for Col.
Fort, as the house banking and cur
rency committee, of which he is a
member, refused to allow him to report
it, yet it passed the house bv two
thirds vote when first submitted and
has passed the senate after having been
considered but one day. 1t is regarded
to some extent as compromise be-
tween the representatives of the two
extremes of finance, and it is generally
believed by moderate greenback men
that no more attempts for currency leg
islation will be made at this session.
The claim is made that the national
party vii be reasonably satisfied with
this compromise. The friends of the
bill make no doubt that the president
will Immediately sign it. It is known
that Secretary Sherman has privately
approved the bill as compromise

CHICAGO claims to have received /

CHICAGO claims to have received /,
500 tons of strawberries between the 9th
and 2Sth of May. This would fill $50
freight cars, allowing ten tons to the car;
it is not probable, however, that more
than five tons could be packed in a car,
consequently there must have been re-
ceived at Chicago from twelve to fifteen
car loads of strawberries daily during
the time above mentioned.

AMERICA MUST RUN THAT BANK.
A st. Peters burg dispatch under date
of May 2Sth says it is rumored that the
Russian Imperial bank is so heavily in
debted, the government dare not con-
tinue the publication of weekly returns.
The banks affairs are in an almost hope
less confusion. The continued issue of
paper money to cover deficits will be
necessary.
ENGLAND's VICTORY.
A London telegram of May 9th says
that the Times Paris correspondence
telegraphs a private telegram from Lon
don which states that England rejected
the detailed concessions offered by
Count Scouvalof, who thereupon de-
clarcd Russia's readiness to submit all.
questions raised by the treaty to the
sanction of the powers. It is known
that Italy and Germany were informed
of the welcome solution and requested
to Immediately issue invitations. The
Times says editoriaily that whatever
may be true as to detail, we have reason
to believe our Vienna correspondence
information we'll founded. The invita-
tons to the congress will not be issued
till explanations between England and
Russia are somewhat further determin-
ed; but there is no reason to apprehend
failure on such points: the prelirli-
nary requirements of England at all
events, on the whole, have been con-
coded.
THOSE INVITATIONS.
A Vienna correspondent. writing un-
der date of May 9th, says the difficulty
about placing the whole treaty before
the congress seems to have been sur
mounted by the wording of the invita-
tons; which are to contain a guarantee
for free discussion of the whole treaty.
Germany will issue invitations and thus
give the guarantee instead of Russia;
pourparlars has begun about the date of
the meeting, and June 18th is proposed.
Austria and France have already adj
hered to this scheme.
THE NEGOTIATIONS.
London advices Of the 9th of May
give the following Paris dispatch: The
Journal des Debates says Schouvaloff's
mission has led to the most satisfactory
results. Russia consents to lay the
treaty before congress; all the powers
have adhered to the proposal, and con-
gress will meet in Berlin June 1lth.
To the above the London Observer
says the foregoing is far in advance Of
the present position of negotiations.
The Observer has reason to believe
Schouvalof is not authorized to propose
forthwith any very comprehensive mod
ilicatio2s of the treaty. His proposal,
however, deserves careful consideration
and may ultimately form a basis of set
Element. Prospects are undiminished.
