POLITICAL POINTS.

A Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Inter Ocean reports Gen. Garfield as
saying that "a wave of popular enthusiasm was
in motion which would not surprise him if 1t
lifted Grant into the Presidency in 1880. He
thought the Grant movement was increasing
daily and that he was uppermost to-day in
the minds of Republicans who were thinking
and talking about the next Presidential candi-
date"
A Washington correspondent states
upon authority that Senator Conkling is not
now, nor will he be, a candidate for the Presi-
Dental nomination in $780, After mature de-
liberation he has taken himself completely out
of the race. He will neither seek nor accept
the nomination"
The Blaine Investigating committee
held its first formal session Immediately after
the adjournment of Congress. Senator Bayard
offered a resolution stating that inasmuch as
the President had made certain charges, that he
be requested to place before the committee all
testimony that he could properly communicate.
This was after Mr. Garland had made the point
that there were no specific charges before the
committee to work upon. 1t was voted down
by strict party vote. Mr.. Garland then said
they must have some charges to work upon,
and, inasmuch as Mr. Blaine had originated the
charges and had brought about the investigation,
he (Garland) submitted resolution calling upon
that gentleman to furnish specifications upon
which the committee might base the inquiry
and carry ont the instructions embraced in tho
resolution authorizing the investigation. This
was adopted. A resolution was adopted that
the committee sit with open doors. 1t was also
decided to send a subcommittee to New Or

and the Union and Central Pacific railroads
have entered into an agreement to pool their
earnings for one year.
Bayard Taylor, American Minister to
Germany, died at Berlin on the 10Th of Deem
Der. His disease was dropsy. Mr. Taylor was
born in 1926, and was, consequently, SO years of
age. The deceased was great favorite at
the German capital, although accredited
only short time. The Emperor William, the
Grown Prince, and Prince Bismarck greatly es-
teemed Mr.. Taylor, whose appointment as Min
lister to the German Court was extremely well
come to them Mrs Taylor and her daughter
devotedly nursed the deceased during his long
illness, and their bereavement is indescribably
sad.

district, died at Washington on the 21st of De-
cember, after having chung to life with the
most remarkable tenacity for a number of days,
when distinguished physicians had abandoned
all hopes. Gen. Williams case will, in this
respect, be numbered among the remarkable
cases in medical annals He died in an I'M
conscious state, surrounded by member of
members of his family. His wife, however.
was unable to leave her home on account of i'll
health. He was 6S years old, and had been
resident of Detroit since 1885 Owing to his
free, open-handed iberality, Gen. Williams was
never rich man, and probably leaves but
small fortune to his heirs beyond the memory
of the brave soldier, warm and faithful friend,
and thoroughly honest man.

How He Cured a Smoky Chimney.

Yesterday as a citizen of Woodward
avenue was helping a tinsmith to ele-
vate a smokejack to the roof of an addi-
ton on the windy side of the house,
preparatory to hosting it atop of a
smoky chimney, an old man with
ragged bundle under his arm came
along, halted, and soon became deeply
interested. .".... ....
"That chimbly smokes, don't it?" he
finally inquired.

the citizen.
"And you wants to stop the nuisance,
eh?"

"And you think that smoke-iack will
do it?"
II hope So" .,..
"Well, now, I kin stop that smoking
in ten minits, and [ won't hurt the
chimbly nor put up any smoke-jacks,"
continued the old man, as he laid down
his bundle. .....
"If you'll do it I'll give you SIS" re-
joined the citizen, who disliked the
idea of disfguring his chimney with the
clumsy jack
"Kin I have the kitchen for five min
utes?" asked the Iran.
eyes"
The cook was instructed to vacate,
and the old man took possession. Re-
moving the top of the stove, he poured
in enough water to put out every spark
of the fire. Then going out he called
to the citizen on thereof:
elias she stopped smoking?"
"Well, I don't see any smoke at all"
was the reply; "what have you done?"
While he was coming down the lad
der the old man made off, eating a pie
he had taken from the oven. The last
half of it he had to bolt down while on
the run, but at no time in the race did
the citizen, tinsmith or servant girl get
within twenty rods of him.-DetroH

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Gen. Sherman is represented as favor
ing the new Army bill.
It is announced from Washington
that the United States Treasurer expects to
have on the LIST of January, exclusive of all de-
mands, $135, 100000 of coin with which to re-
sumo specie payments.
Secretary Sherman sent to the Sen
ate last week an answer to Senator Becks reso-
luton calling upon him for information. The
Secretary says that @under existing law either
gold coin or the standard silver dollars may be
used in the payment of interest on the public
debt The law does not direct which shall be
be paid, but leaves this to the discretion of the
department, to be exercised upon considera-
tons of public policy"
There is no probability that the bill
ize the army will become a law at this session
of Congress.

CircumStantial Evidence.

In the year 1860 two men named
Perry and their mother were hanged
for the murder of man who had never
been murdered at all. Mr.. Harrison,
Lady Campden's steward, having been
collecting his rents, suddenly disap-
peared. John Perry accused his
mother, himself, and his brother Of
having robbed Mr.. Harrison in the pre-
vious year, and Of having again robbed
him and murdered him on the night
when he was missed. The mother and
Richard Perry denied all knowledge of
the matter; but, at length, pleaded guilty
to the first Indictment under some
pressure of policy. The ,otheg indict-
ment was not then proceeded with, on
the ground that the body was not
fonnd. But John persisted in his
story, and at the next assize they were
all tried for murder. John then re-
tracted his confession, and said he must
have been mad. Nevertheless, they
were all condemned. Some years after
Mr.. Harrison appeared alive, and thus
accounted for his mysterious absence:
After receiving his rents he had been
set upon by gang of rufians, carried
to the seaside, put on ship-board, and
sold as a slave to the Turks After his
masters death he escaped, and, with
great difficulty, working his way, first to
Lisbon, and thence to Dover, he arrived
in England, as our law-book coolly
says, ito the surprise of all the coun-
try."-Go0d Words. "-

Afghan Names.

AS for some months to come matters
to the north of India may be of interest,
it is time that some attention be given
to the proper pronunciation of that
country through which the English
soldiers are forcing their way. The
name of that mountainous country has
been quite familiarly spoken by many a
lady when she threw over her head some
feecy wooden knitted cover, which she
called an afgaaa. The first syllable
might be all right, but the gan ought
hot to be pronounced as tine a in can, but
with a broad a, as in gaun. Afghanistan
should be written with circumfex
accent over the second and last syllables,
is being lightly sounded, and the ulti-
mate tam being somewhat dwelt upon.
All these names of countries should
have their syllables sounded at length
with broad a, such as Beloochistan
and Hindoostan. Of late an entirely
new spelling has been given to names
of the cities by the best English author

which gave a Democratic majority, on the
ground that the returns were fraudulent, and
Madison county, which gave Republican ma
jority, on the ground that one precinct was not

Great Authors as Actors.

It may be added in this connection
that number of our best authors were
addicted to private theatricals. One OF
these was Byron, who, at the age of 49,
appeared in private theatricals with
great success. He took the part OF
Penruddock in the Wheel of Fort
une," and also that of Tristan Tickle
in the farce of the "Weathercock.'
These plays were repeated three nights,
and his performance was pronounced
"inimitable." Irving, while at Dresden,
being then 81, was induced by his
friends to engage in a similar perform
ance, in which the play Of "Three Weeks
After Marriage" was presented, his part
being Sir Charles Rocket. Dickens
was also highly gifted with histrionic
talent, and occasionally took part in
private performances, in which he won
general admiration. It may be added
that Voltaire was also proficient in the
same art, and Gibbon, in his autobiog-
raphy, mentions the delightful privilege
he enjoyed in seeing him render some of
his finest characters. Voltaire, who was
then 60, passed two summers at
Lausanne, where he formed small
theater, and suitable company was
formed out of the ladies and gentlemen
of the town. In this manner a number
of his tragedies we're performed in a
highly creditable manner.-New York

Edwin Booth ON the Modern Drama.

The Christian Union, of New York,
prints the following letter from Edwin
Booth, sent in reply to request from
the editor for an article upon the drama:
DEAR SIR: On my arrival here found your
favor of the list inst, but have been prevented
from answering it until to-day. Having no lit
erary ability, whatever, I must decline your
tattering invitation, nor do I know how to aid
the worthy cause you advocate Could I do SO,
be assured it should be freely done My knowl-
edge of the modern drama is SO very meager
that never permit my wife or daughter to wit
ness play without previously ascertaining its
character. This is the method l pursue. [ can
suggest no other, unless it might be by means
of dramatic CENSOR" whose taste or judy
ment might, however, be frequently at fault If
the management of theaters could be denied to
spectators and placed in the hands of actors
who value their reputation and respect their
calling, the stage would at least afford healthy
recreation, if not, indeed, wholesome stimulus
to the exercise of noble sentiments But, while
the theater is permitted to be mere shop for
gain, open to every huckster of immoral GIN
cracks, there is no other way to discriminate be-
tween the pure and base than through the ex-
perience of others. Yours truly.
