AS an instance OF the extraordinary
fluctuations in the price Of real es-
tate, it Is stated that in 1855 a lot Of
land on Seaver street. Boston, was
sold for the sum of 5000: in 1872
the same land was sold for $4,000.

Sherman ON the Proposed Fraud Inves.
tigati0n.

The National Republican publishes
the following interview with Secre-
tary Sherman, relative to the pending
Potter investigating resolution. In
reply to the question as to what he
thought was the real purpose Of the
resolution, the secretary replied that
it looked very much as II the Demo-
Gratis were engaged in the work OF
manufacturing ammunition for the
fall campaign irrespective OF due re-
gard for the character of the ma
terial used, after which the interview
proceeded as follows:
Question-Do you think this move
ment aimed at the Presidents title?
Answer-Not at all, for that is ir-
refragably established by authority
OF law which must be abrogated be-
fore the title can be approached. Be
assured it does not really point in
that direction, but is make-shift for
Democratic capital for campaign pur-
poses.
Q.-Newspaper says that 1t is aim
ed at you and Governor Noyes, and
ether statesmen who visit Louisiana
and Florida pending the electoral
count in those states, with a view Of
bringing you into public disrepute.
A.-Yes. 1 know the papers say SO,
but none OF these things move me.
1 visited the south at the critical
period in the nations history In the
interest OF right and justice. 1t was

that a fair count would give both
those States to Hayes, and having a
deep interest in a proper, just and
wise adjustment OF the question tina.
was exciting the public mind to fe-
yer heat throughout the length and
breadth OF the country, went to
Louisiana to supervise the counting
OF the votes, solely with a view il
possible to secure an honest count
and just result. / devoted much
time and careful attention to the
subject, and am firm In the convic-
tion that the result as declared in
Louisiana falls far short OF doing
justice to the Republican ticket.
Our majority in that state under a
free and fair election in the several
parishes and precincts, some OF which
were terribly bulldozed, would have
been much larger than was deter
mined by the count as presented by
the returning board.
Q.-Well, what can they do with
you under the resolution.
A.-Nothing. The Democrats can
pass their resolution, and then they
can do the worst so far as / am con-
cerned. / do not fear them. On the
contrary shall defy them. My ac-
tion in the south was purely in the
interes: OF an honest election and the
public welfare. and challenge the
closest scrutiny into all my purposes
and acts while was in that section
pending the canvassing OF the votes.
Q.-Then you do not scare?
A.-Not at all. The Democrats are
heartily welcome to do their worst
My intentions and actions were up
right, and l have not the slightest
fear OF any consequences that may
fall upon myself under this resolu-
tion should it pass, as it probably

Insanity and Authorship.

Speaking of Bloomingdale Asylum, i it
is said that the "incurables"' of this in
stitution include Charles F. Hoffman,
once known as popular itteratear. If
this be so the unfortunate man must be
among the Oldest cases, for it is thirty
years since he lost his reason, and he
was then past middle age. No cause for
this calamity has been given, and it can
only be viewed as one of those misfor-
tunes which so often attend genius. Amer
ican authors, however, have been pecu-
liarly exempt from this visitation, and
most of the number who have departed
from earthly scenes retained their facu-
ties until the last. This shows that intel
lect will not be destroyed by regular
toll iifit be not accompanied by theuse
of stimulants. 1t is the destructive
habits of the present age that are filling
our lunatic asylums with cases which, i'll
so many instances, are hopeless. hesgtt
The recent report that Victor Hugo is
insane is one of the most painful char

The Dog That Worried the Cows That
Nearly Killed the Parson. i,i4t
fspringasI4 Mass. ) Republican.

A thrilling occurrence is reported
from Evanston, Ill, and as tits prob
ably the first instance en- record in which
the hustle of lovely woman became an
implement oflIcrime, the lease is thus
immortalized by the Cleveland Leader.
There was a boy in that town named
Daley. The boy had dog, which he
was accustomed to take with him on, his
daily excursions to certain suburban
pasture fields to drive home the cows.
On the 9Th inst. young Daley found,
on, his way to- the pasture, something
white and ruffled and mysterious. He
did not know what it was, but it was too
beautiful to throw away, and the happy
thought struck him that it might be in
tended as an ornamental portable awning
for dog. So he called his dog and tied
the gay device around its body Just be-
hind, the fore legs. This held the wavy.
frills of the tournure aloft like canopy
Thus caparisohed the dog pranced along
gayly in, front of his master to where
the cowswe quietly grazing in tho field.
Immediately there was wild commotion.
The COWS knew in a. general way some-
thing about dogs, but an animal half
dog and half bird, with towering ban
ner of whalebone and wire and muslin
floating in the summer wind, was to
them a new and terrifying spectacle.
They eyed the approaching terror a
moment, then tossed their heads, turned
tail, and broke in, wild stampede for
town. The frantic herd burst from the
end of the lane into the main road Just
as grave and serious ex-minister of the
Gospel-whose sands of life had nearly
run, etc.,-came driving along. Him
the cows needed not. The dog with his
phenomenal attachment waving up and
down was behind, and they cared for
nothing in front. One jumped across
between the horse and the vehicle, two
| others dashed against the wheels, cap
sized the Elder into a ditch full Of muddy
water, and left the buggy standing on
its beam end with two wheels in the air.
Then the horse caught sight of the dog
and ran after the cows, smashing the
| vehicle. to atoms and distributing it
along about two miles fof the. public
highway. The cows reinforced by the
flying steed, carried the village like an
| invading army, and such was the terror
and surprise of the people that they
have since done little else but talk about
it. The minister crawled out of the
ditch and began legal proceedings
against the boy, who came into townby
a side street and slipped up the back
stairs supperless to bed. The dog with
the hustle saw that he had overdone the
thing, and crept under barn. The
problem that absorbs Evanston is. where
to classify the crime of that boy under
the statutes of Illinois. htlR j.i3nl5'

A LAWYERS First Address.

There are few mental tortures more
terrible than thatwhich young lawyer,
constitutionally timid, suffers when for
the first time he rises to address the
court and jury. No nightmare is more
frightful than those twelve men, honest
and true, presided over by the frowning
majesty of the bench. They are, then
and there, all the world to him, and q
horrible world it is to his brain, be-
wildered by the sight and a natural
diffidence. s..... -.,.i,,. H.. ....s
Mr.. John P. Kennedy tells of such a
scene which was turned into triumph
by the will-power of the young man and
the sympathy of tue. court, He says
"I remember the agony with which the
| confused novitiate arose second time,
having been but moment before com.
PEELED to take his seat, in the hope to
| collect his routed thoughts. His second
essay was not more fortunate than the
first. Hes stood silent for a, brief space,
| and at the end was enabled to say,
Gentlemen, 1 declare to Heaven that
if 1 had an enemy upon whose head
would invoke the most cruel torture, ]
could wish him no other fate than to
stand where stand now' .sas1YEeJ
" Curiously enough, the sympathy
which this appeal brought him seemed
almost instantly to give him strength
A short pause was followed by another
effort which was completely and ever
triumphantly successful"
