FIFTY Austrian emigrants, consisting
Of men, women and children, were late
" arrested at Pittsburgh, en- route to
Nebraska, for passing counterfeit
money. Before sailing from Hamburg
they were made to believe that bank
notes only were current in the United
States, and they purchased about $1,000
worth Of the spurious paper. When
they reached New York they paid for
their railway tickets with this money.
The counterfeit was not discovered until
they reached Pittsburgh, and then the
poor creatures found themselves stopped,
charged with a crime they had not
dreamed Of committing, and penniless
in a strange land.

nothing short OF an immediate, general, and
firm concert of the law-and-order abiding peo-
pie of all parties, Republicans and Democrats.
throughout the Union, in reprobation of the
investigation proceeding any further with
view to disturb the Presidential title such as is
announced by the Pennsylvania Democracy in
their convention few days ago, can arrest the
most fearful consequences. Thoese who have,
the whrlwind nv S own on sn9 Wu wiz rear
repeatedly said, that this affair viii prove in
the end either contemplate farce or hor-
riole tragedy. Whether it will lead to the
Discrimination of our Federal republic. the re
suit must show; but say. as said on another
recent occasion, that ali soft words instilling
in the mind of the people of this country the
idea that MIR. Hayes can be peaceablv unseated
by Congress are as delusive and guileful as the
whlsperings of the great arch-fiend in the
shape of toad in the ear of Eve, from which
sprung all our woes. Very respectfully,

In past ages, as the deacon once told
some of his elder boys in my hearing,
the people Of some parts of Europe used
to live above the surfaces of lakes, in
huts built on spiles driven into the
water.
Well, now I hear that somebody has
found, under the water of Lake Geneva,
whole town, with about 200 stone
houses, large public square and high
tower and, from the looks of the town,
the shape of the houses, and the way
the stones are cut, some say that place
must have been built more than 2, 1000
years ago!
Now. I can understand how men were
able TO live in the way the Deacon de-
scribed, but it strikes me that this other
story has something in it that's harder
to swallow than water.
Who ever heard of men living in cities
under the water, as if they were fishes !?

A Boys Pockets and GirI's Pocket.

Tommy is II years old. His sister
Mary is sweet 49,. The other morning
Mary accosted her mother with, "Ma,
see what lot of stuff I found in
Tommys pockets. ;" And she deposited
on the table the following articles, to
wit Eight marbles, one top, broken
bladed knife, leather strap, buckle,
bunch of keys, a fishing line, piece of
lead, a smooth stone, four pieces of
slate pencil, WORKOUT pocketbook, an
oyster shell, a wounded jewsharp, a
piece of blue glass, rubber ball, lump
of chalk, two dried fish worms, sling
shot, piece Of India rubber, two corks, a
fractured comb, piece of licorice root, a
song-book, two medals and a juvenile
land tortoise. Tommy looked thought
fully as the contents of his pockets were
deposited before the eyes of his mother,
and sullenly remarked that sit was
none of Sis business, and he just
wanted her to let his trousers alone.'
Next day Tommy captured the out
side pocket Of his sisters dress, and,
carrying the contents to his mother,
sarcastically observed in the presence of
Mary: "Ma, just see what lot of
trash I found in Sis pocket p and he
produced from his hat the following
knick-knacks, viz. : Three hair-pins, a
soiled glove, piece of chewing gum,
three cards, broken locket, elastic gar
ter, piece of ribbon, two slate pencils,
another piece of chewing gum, photo
graph, piece of orange-skin, a love-letter,
broken toothbrush, more chewing gum,
a thimble, piece of cotton saturated
with white powder, one nickel, two sour
balls, gaiter heel, ivory ornament be-
longing to parasol handle, handker-
chief perfumed with jockey club, gaiter
buttoner, withered geranium leaves,
ivory-handle penknife with broken blade,
fan, five visiting cards, belt-buckle,
box of rouge, another piece Of chewing
gum, fragment of looking lass, peach
stone, a cigar-holder stolen from "Char-
ley" piece of damasse silk of the pat
tern of her friend Lucy's new dress, an
artificial flower, horsehair ring, long
brown hair entangled in hunk Of taffy,
and slip of paper containing directions
| for handkerchief firtations.
Tommy placed the last article on the
table and slid from the room with q grin
of triumph on his rogulsh face. His
sister made an Intellectual grab for him,
and, as he passed into the street, he
heard her voice calling, "You nasty
little brat, if you get at my pocket again,
I'll slap your face" Tommy thinks
honors are easy.-NorrdStoa0n Herald.

EDISON is at work on his phonomete

EDISON is at work on his phonometer.
It consists OF the diaphragm or mouth
piece of the photograph fixed to an up
right. Behind the diaphragm is hori-
zontal bar with wheel and lever. When
this machine is talked to as if it were a
photograph, the vibrations move the
lever, and this turns the wheel and the
bar. To the end of the bar will be
affixed a gimlet. Thus Mr. Edison will
talk hole through pine board. Edi-
son is also at work upon an apparatus to
enable the deaf to hear, and says: "Ifeel
sure that I will produce practical appa-
ratus within six months" The wish may
be fatherto the thought with the inventor
of the phonograph, for he is measurably
deaf himself; still it really seems as if
Edison might do it If he tried. But
what the world principally longs for at
present is a mechanical and therefore an
honest treasurer, for use in towns, man
ufactories and savings banks let Mr..
Edison consider this.

AMERICAN cotton is being shipped
from Liverpool to India, where it will
be manufactured for consumption. The
native cotton of India, production of
which was greatly stimulated during
the Southern rebellion, does not seem to
be adapted to the manufacture Of grades
of cloth most in demand in that country.
English manufacturers will suffer from
this new movement, their fabrics being
subject to import duties in India, while
the raw cotton is admitted free.

Stephens on Potter.

Hon. A. FL. Stephens has addressed q
letter to friend in New York upon the
subject of the pending investigation,
closing as follows:
Mr. Potter's reasons for refusing Mr.. Hale's
amendment appear to me to be singular and
most untenable. He says it was because it was
not germane. Why it was not germane I can't
see. All frauds it would seem to me, are of
kindred character They are all the same class
of crimes, belong to the same family, and differ
only in character and degree. If a fraudulent
electoral count in Florida was germane to q
like fraudulent count in Louisiana, why is not
like fraudulent count in Oregon or any other
State equally germane to the proposition to in-
vestigate frauds?
Mr. Potter iustifies his course in refusing an
investigation into the frauds alleged in Mr..
Hale's amendment, because he said "We
understood it contained recitals to which we
can't assent, and which would have forced us
to vote against our own resolutions This
seems to me again to be an untenable reason.
In the first place, in allowing Mr.. Hale to offer
an amendment, whatever recitals it might have
had by no means committed the House to the
truth of its allegations. It would only have
allowed him to make them good, if he could.
Dir. Potter insists that the object was not,
and is not, to attack the title of Mr.. Hayes.
II SO, then why did he not, or the manager
whose instructions he was carrying out, allow
Mr.. Casey Young's amendment to go in, which
distinctly stated, with the purpose of quieting
the country, that the object was not TO disturb
the title of the present Executive, which had
been so constitutionally settled by Congress?
But have no time to say more at present,
except to add that do look upon the whole of
this proceeding, concocted as it was, conducted
as it has been, SO most unwise, most unfortu-
~ a1,so
to disturb the peace, harmony and quiet of the
country.
Neither Mr.. Potter nor anybody else can pre-
vent it, and Isay to him most respectfully that
