The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1878-08-09

HENRY WATrERsoN, writing i'll the
Louisville Courier Journal of Stephen
A. Douglas, says: GA more genial man
never lived. His capacity for both work
and play was boundless. An illustra-
tive story bearing upon this point is
told of his seating himself in the lap of
Beverly Tucker, on a certain occasion,
and exclaiming, in his impulsive way,
'Bev, old boy, 1 love you 7 Douglas,
says Tucker, will you always love me ?
yes, I will But, persisted Tucker,
will you love me when you get to be
President IF don't, may I be!
says Douglas. What do you want me
to do for you?' We'll, says Tucker,
when you get to be President, all l
want you to do for me is to pick some
public place, and put your arm around
my neck, just as you are doing now, and
call me Bev +"

NV Lord BeacOnsfield.

What a marvellous man is the Dis
raeli Son of prescribed and re-
viled race; his. own ancestors banned for
their religion, and their property confis-
Gated and themselves declared outlaws;
himself poor scrivener, living by his
wits, scribbling for papers, writing
novels, the butt and jest of his asso-
ciates, and the contempt of the men who
governed England-now standing on the
steps of the throne, handing to his i'm
perial mistress a new title and a new
crown studded with Oriental jewels, and
offering with odd nonchalance to give
Jerusalem to the Pope, that the Chris
tian Church may again kiss the affairs
where the apostles worshiped, and
where his ancestors crucified its Divine
Head The whole scene is dramatic
beyond parallel. federation must have
done its perfect work when Jew
yields the most important scepter in
Christendom.-Chu Union.

Derivation OF Fowl Names.

Those who keep chickens may be in
terested to know how the different spe-
cies of |" fowl genus derived their
names. The Stock Journal gives the
following information on the subject
The Dorkings were named after Dork-
ing in England F; the black Spanish, or
as they are otherwise known, everiast-
ing layers, after Spain the Polands
came from Poland the Houdains (pro-
nouced Houdon) from Houdain. France;
the Shanghais are named after Shanghai
in China the buff and partridge Cochin
Chinas also take their names from
Cochin, China; the Siberia or Russian
fowls, from Russia; the Malays, Java,
Columbians, Barbarys, Dutch fowls,
all from their respective countries.
There are also the Guilders from Guild
erland. Holland; the Bolton grays and
BAYS from Bolton, England, and the
shakebags, named from the fact that they
were carried to cockpits in bags, which
the owner shook as challenge for some
Their bird.

A PRELIMINARY meeting of the dele
gates to the congress for the considera-
ion of a commercial treaty between
France and the United States has been
held at Paris. The draft of treaty was
submitted, and will be discussed at a
future meeting. 1t is proposed that the
French Government shall engage to adj
NIT all American productions on the
same terms as are imposed on the pro-
auctions of the most favored nations,
and that the United States shall make
the same arrangement regarding The
productions of France: that if other ma
tons impose domestic duty upon their
own productions, the same duty may be
imposed upon the productions of the
other party to the treaty.

Some Recent Remarkable Suicides.

Miss Miller, of Douglass, Mo-, mar
ried Mr.. Simmons one afternoon, went
out in the evening nominally to get
some clothing she had left at her moth
er's house, and was found next morning
hanging to the branch of tree by a
plow-line. CT am affectionate, sensi-
tive, ignorant, Respondent, weak, vacil-
lating and altogether unfit to live. !"
wrote Mr.. Herbert, of Little Rock, be-
fore taking a dose OF strychnine. Mr..
Hamilton, lawyer of Columbus, Texas,
having killed a brother lawyer whom he
suspected of seducing his wife, was SEN
fenced to death, but poisoned himself
on the eve of his execution, leaving a
note to the Sheriff saying he was "sorry
to be forced to prevent an act which
would only be pleasure to his enemies
aud no benefit in general" Mrs. E. Z.
Wood, of Mast Hope, Pa, put a three
pound can OF eunpowder into the stove.
Herr Stolheimer, of Mayence, having
quarreled with his partner in business,
went into the cellar, knocked the bung
out of all the casks, lay down in the
vinous torrent and cut his throat. w.
T. Day, OF Dubuque, Iowa, went out
into hog-pen, and, with sharp knife,
cut off portions OF himself and fed them
to the swine; he was discovered by his
relatives, but so shockingly mangled
that he died. Thomas Parr, of Dayton,
Ill. first tried to beat out his brains
with a crow-bar, then hanged himself.
