The Sherman Letter.


The proof in the case of the Sher-
man letter, put in by the chosen wit
nesses of the conspiritors, is explicit
that John Sherman never wrote the
letter, and this being so, of course
the bottom of the investigation has
fallen out entirly. To break the
sudden aud unexpected fall, how
ever, it has been given out that, after
all, there is "a letter" which they
can prove he did write. This is too
thin. Mr.. Potter may be fool, but
he will hardly be rated such fool as
to spend three weeks in attempting
to prove a forged letter genuine,
when all the time he was in posses
sion of a genuine letter, on which he
had the proof. This dodge would
not only show Potter an ass but a
knave as well, and he doubtless
would much prefer to have that ex-
pose come through the instrumental
ity of Glover, whose genius in catch
ing Democrats without sufficient
moral garments has now become too
notorious to be questioned.

Anderson's Lie.


Truthful James, surnamed Ander-
son, wanted a guarantee. He got it,
he said, in writing from John Sher-
man, promising him an Office for
cooking the returns of Louisiana in
favor of Hayes. He wanted a writ
ing, because, though young, he knew
the verbal promises of politicians
were of no account. Well, when he
had his guarantee all safe in his
pocket, he went and demanded an
Office. Of whomP
Well, he went to Stanley Mat
thews, William M. Evarts, Congress
man Nash, Kellogg, R. B. Hayes,
and sundry other persons of fposition
and influence, but, according to his
own testimony, he gave John Sher-
man, the guarantor, a wide berth.
II Anderson held Ben. Buffers note
do you think he would present it to
Clarkson Potter and Montgomery
Blair for payment? Not much; and
neither would he avoid John Sher-
man if Sherman was the man from
whom he got the written guarantee.
The conduct is explainable only on
the theory of Mrs. jerks, that the
letter was not genuine, and though
1t had fooled him at the time, its
true character was know to him be-
fore he had had chance to present
it to Sherman. So he kept it and
sold it to the agent of Tilden, when
that enterprising speculator bought
the concern, which consisted of An
derson,. the forged letter, and the
Matthews correspondence--about the
poorest investment Tilden ever
made, except the $4,000 paid for
Cronin's certificate.

Turkeys Fate-ActiOn by the
Congress.

LONDON, July 1.-The Congress
was in session three hours to-day.
The representatives of Roumania
were present, and made a statement
of their claims. The congress has
decided TO eede to Russia that por-
ton of Bessarabia which she lost IN
1856, extending from the Prnth to

also decided to transfer the Dobruds-
cha TO Roumania. The frontier OF
the new territory is to be advanced
SO as to run from the neighborhoOd
of SaIistria, without including that
town. to Mangalia, on the Black Sea.
Roumania will thus acquire a fertile
tract of country, and be established
on both banks of the Danube. The
congress has recognized the indePen-
dence of Roumania and Montenegro
Count ScheuYaloff and Count An
drassy have arrived at an understand,
ing with regard to the frontiers OF
Montenegro.

The Indian War.

SAN Francisco, July IA Baker
City.. Oregon dispatch says: A citi-
zen courier arrived here to-day from
CANYON City. He comes to ask
Governor Chadwick for arms and
men to protect the citizens of John
Day Valley. He states that fifteen
citizen scouts discovered Indians
near South Fork, John Day River,
on the 29th. Contrary to Colonel
Burnham's orders one of the scouts
fred upon the Indians. The fire
was returned. Two of the scouts
who escaped shortly after the fight
began came into Canyon City for
reinforcements, state that their COM
panions were surrounded by at least
one hundred Indians, and it is be-
lieved would be butchered by the
savages before help could reach

hostiles were pouring into John Day

doubt of the beauty Of French women,

house, as the saying is, only little rooms
lined all round with mirrors which reflect
their every motion, every attitude. The
French see themselves literally as others
see them, and years of self criticism has
enabled them to eleminate much awkward
ness of action, and to supply by artificial
devices. many deficiencies of nature.
Could some Edison but invent a mirror
that would reflect the soul by means of
which, this conceited people might see
their inner life as others see it, what a
moral revolution might in time be hoped
for! The eonvulsion of SO would be peace
in comparison, and the suicides of the
new era might outnumber the homicides
of the old. But the French are no less
graceful IN their department, in their ad-
dress, than they are in their dress, and
this think is also to be accounted for by
the fact that they are not hOmely people,
but l1ye on the street, in public parks and

Grasshopper Invasions.


The possibility of carrying on sue
cessful weather predictions for the
Mediterranean and its shores, is dis
cussed by HeIlmann, who shows that
probably a greater efficiency can be
attained than in Western Europe
He calls attention to the possibility
of predicting the invasion of grass
hoppers or locusts, which, leaving
the Sahara in the springs with south
west winds, are carried over Algeria
and Egypt, and do more damage
than the severest storms. A similar
duty has been frequently urged by
DIR. Packard and others upon our
Signal Service; and in this connec-
ton it may be well to call attention
to theoretical explanation of the
grasshopper migrations which has
lately been proposed by Able, and
which is said to explain most of the
phenomena that have been observed.
According to this meteorologise, the
grasshopper is an insect at home and
comfortable only in rather dry at
mosphere, and possibly a diminished
atmospheric pressure; air that is
either too dry or too moist is equal
ly liable to make the insect uncom-
Portable, and in either case he seeks
relief in fight, not knowing whittier
he shall go. Now the very dry
winds are the westerly winds, that
bear him rapidly eastward to the
Missouri and Mississippi valleys.
The very moist winds are the south
and southeast winds of the Missis-
sippi valley, that bear linn or his
progeny in the next year back to his
original breeding grounds. 1t will
be curious to show whether this hy-
pothesis holds good for the African
as well as it does for the American
insect. Hdrper'S Magazine.
