The Grecian Gods.

The ancient Greeks believed their gods
to be of the same shape and form as them
selves, but of far greater beauty, strength,
and dignity A fluid named ichor" sup
piled the place of blood in the veins of the
gods; their meat was ambrosia,' their
drink nectar" and they undoubtedly
dressed their hair with Carboline, which
stimulates the glands of the scalp into
healthy action, prevents the hair from fall
ing out, and promotes its luxuriant growth,
rendering it soft, youthful, and glossy. 1t

THE House passed promptly two APP
preparation bills, that for the Military
Academy at West Point and that fOrtifi-
cations. The latter went through WITH
out debate, and without amendment. In
the former one item of $4,000 for water
supply led to considerable discussion
but there was no attack upon the institu-
ton itself as on two former occasions.
Even the Military Academy Band was
no: attacked, and the the pay of instruc-
tors was left untouched, both tooters
and tutors thus happily passed the ordeal
of the House. The amount appropriated
last year wasS292.S05. The amount this
year is S326,647 33 for regulir expenses,
and $4,000 extra for the water supply.
The ForlficatiOn appropriation bill APP
prOpriates 100000 for the protection,
preservation and repair of Notifications,
$l25, 900 for armament, and $4,000 for
torpedOes and torpedo experiments, max
ing total OF $275, 600. =. s@asa

An Interesting Subject.

Is there any time when the response.
bility of an endorser to 8 negotiable note
ceases2 is the question agitating the
minds of a number of our German
friends and one of them in particular.
The circumstances briefly told are: On
the first day of July, 1876, a party was
asked to endorse a note at sixty days for
$3.50, payable st one of the Wheeling
banks. at that date the endorser was
indebted TO the maker of the note for
considerably more than that sum, and he
willingly consented.
Before the expiration of the sixty days
and three days OF grace, the sum last re.
ferred TO was paid. When the note
came due it was not paid, the endorser
was not notified, nor did he learn of the
fact until last week, more than eighteen
months after it was drawn. The bank
now tells the endorser if he does no; pay
the amount he shall be sued. The ques-
ton has been submitted to several law
yers, bat like the old proverb OF the
doctors, they all differ as to his liability
in the premises.

"The production Of Uncle Toms
Cabin last night was successful to the
fullest degree expected. The prepare
tions made for the event were OF the
most elaborate description. Scenic artist
Palmer must have entered into the atfail
with zest, for he never produced more
beautiful work than the new scenery
with which the stage was set last night
ELizG's crossing the Ohio on the floating
ice was especially beautiful. The cas-
was a very strong one and the singing es
pecislly fine"

Amusing Incident.

A laughable affair occurred on Thirty
third street, near Chspline street, South
Wheeling, yesterday. The principal
sufferer was a middle-aged darkey, who
was driving a horse to which was at
tached an open-top spring wagon, and in
this wagon the aforesaid darkey was sit
ting, AMI travelling at rapid rate, bliss
fully unconscious of the danger impend-
Ing over his devoted head. All at once
one of the tore wheels went down into a
rut, and there are several in that 10.
cality, when from some unforeseen cause
the traces broke, and with one involun-
Lsry leap the colored gentleman landed,
face first, in the middle Of the street The
horse wss stopped by bystanders, in q
few moments damages were temporarily
repaired and the driver proceeded on his
way. AS to the extent Of the injuries to
the man, they were not serious.

Family Quarrel.

Monday night, after most OF the order
loving residents of Centre Wheeling and
especially those living IN Parker's block,
Main street, between Twenty-sixth and
Twenty-seventh streets, had retired to
their virtuous couches, and were resign
ing themselves to the arms of Morpheus,
they were suddenly aroused by loud out
cries, which it was found, upon investiga-
ton, came from the abode of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rogers, who also had their home in
the block. Officer John j. Cooper, well
known as a pesce-maker and upholder
of the majesty and dignity of the law,
was hastily sent for and as promptly re-
paired to the scene OF battle.
By some means the belligerents had
learned of these movements on the part
of their neighbors and the officer, and
by the time Mr.. Cooper arrived on the
field, hostilities were suspended and q
truce between the contending parties es-
tsblished. In order to make assurance
doubly sure, the doors were locked and
the officer could rot effect quiet en-
trance. Ascertaining that neither of the
parties wished TO prosecute the other, he
tempered judgment with mercy and left
them undisturbed in the enjoyment OF
home and its surroundings.

COwliiding Case.

The quiet monotony of the proverbislly
peacesble Eighth ward was somewhat
disturbed yesterday by lady who in.
ficted castigstion on an offending son
of the Fatherland. From an unpreju-
diced observer of the affair we learn that
the parties all reside IN the same house,
and the quarrel was begun by the grand.
son of the lady calling the man offensive
and insulting names. The man resent
ed this by telling the boy if he did not
stop he would pull his ears. The boy did
not cease, and the man pulled his ears,
not very seriously however. AT this
juncture the grandmother of the boy
arrived on the scene with a cowhide in
her hand, and proceeded TO belabor the
offender at round rate, about the breast
and shoulders. Fearing his face might
come IN for share Of the blows, he
threw up his arms, which were full of
wood, to protect himself, aud in so doing
struck the lady's forehead, scratching it
slightly. A suit is.threstened by the lady.

counsel for General Frost and Metcslf
Frost, in the case from the Third Con-

the motion to have the ballot boxes
brought to Washington SO that the bal
lots may be recounted, the committee de-
clined to take such action at present, and
suggested that Mr.. Pulitzer might en-
deavor 10 have the ballots recounted in
Missouri. If this could be accomplished
the committee would grant him further
hearing on his motion.
