Marrying in. May.

There is an old superstition, says the
Pittsburg Leader, against marrying in
the month of May. And like the ill>
luck ascribed tq Friday, and sitting
down thirteen to a dinner, it often has
some singular illustrations. Not long
ago, on a bright May day, Miss H,
of this city, was married to MIR. j..
and their wedding party was one OF
the happieSt and merrieEt. both Wore
Young, handsome and gifted. Blessed
with fortune, friends and health, no
two persons ever joined hands for the
Journey of life with fairer prospects or
brighter hopes. At the wedding party
was one, whose perception of the eter-
nal fitness of things being singularly
obtuse, recalled this old superstitution
of ill-luck and unhappinesa attending
those who married in May. All pres
ent disclaimed any faith in the old
saving, and none made more merry
over it than the happy bride and
groom. Strong in their health and
hope and youth, misfortune and death
| and sorrow were words to them with
out meaning, and yet, inside of six
months, that noble, HANDSOME, hearty
man was sarnuded in his coffin, and
hearted I Widow. Many aud many a
| time since then have the friends gath
cred at that gay wedding and sad, sad
| funeral, recurred to this singular coin
| cidence in support of the old supersti-
| ton against marrying i'll the merry
| month of May.

Enormous Cattle Shipment.
Western Nebraskian

There will be about half a billion
dollars worth of cattle shipped over
the Union Pacific road, this season, to
the East; and is now the business of
sufficient value to give it some protec-
ton? Allowing the steers to lie worth
$40 each on the range, this would
give -, lO0, 900 cattle to be shipped from
that region. Again, allowing twenty
cattle to the car, it would ;equire 624, :
OOG cars to transport them, or 20,S33
trains of thirty cars each, or about
seventy trains day for every work
ing day i'm the year. The 5000 ere
dited to the Texas drive, and those al
ready shipped, would be but a drop in
the bucket, to say nothing about the en-
tire number of cattle contained in the
whole country. The whole number of
cattle of every kind, young and old,
according to the census Of 1870, was
23, $40, ,GOS. Nebraska is a fertile, and
also great State, so far rs territory il
concerned. Union % Pacific out OF
Nehaska for the year VIII show this
statement to have been drawn with a
very flexible strange to the bow.

Judgment, is to be found the basis OF
many of the just complaints of the
people, and to which is to be ascribed
the cause of many of the ills that now
afflict the people. But, sir, the con-
sideratiOn and determination of the
Texas and Pacific Railroad bill, as re-
ported by my colleague from the sixth
congressional district of Tennessee,
Mr.. House., surrounds and presents
the constitutional question involved
with fewer embarrassments than any
previous bill, in this: that he happily
relieves it of entangling alliances and
local projects which heretofore made
it liable to many of the objections
urged by the gentleman'frOm Alabama.
Now, sir, the bill to which refer
presents the proposition entirely as a
national one; national in its require
ments, national in the difficulties to
be overcome, and national in its OBJ
jects. In these several aspects the bill
admits of enlarged argument, the pre-
sentation of which at the present time
would be inapprOpriate; but / may be
allowed to say to gentlemen who have
hitherto opposed this measure-and
particularly | address myself to nv
Western Democratic friends whose
people have suffered much from the
monopoly of the Union Pacific Rail-
road and their assOciates-that / beg
they will look at the present bill, and
to reflect that its office, as now inten-
ded, is to build a road national in its
character and purposes, and which, at
all times recognizing the authority of
the Government, is subject to the leg
islative control of the people, and in
this way becomes in their hands the
means of protection against existing
mOnOpOlieS and future combinations
to control the industry, trade, and
commerce of the country.
1t is this last consideration, Mr..
Speaker, that, in a very large degree,
has induced me to give my support to
the proposed bill. 1t has been stated
that the owners of the corporation
known as the Central Pacific are the
carporators of the road now seeking to
thwart the prosecution and building
of the Texas Pacific road. / believe it
to he true, and, if true, it is apparent
that the object of these parties is to
perpetuate and increase the power of
one of the most gigantic and merci-
less mOnopOlies ever legislated into
existence.
Another consideration l beg leave to
present to my friends. Knowing as
they do that people move on isother-
NAL lines, that while it is, andlha been
the policy of the GOverement to eX-
tend lines of railroad across the cOnti-
nent from ocean to ocean, on northern
lines, thus giving to the people on
these lines all the advantages of emf
grafton, it is denial of justice and be-
comes an act of oppression to the peo-
pie of the South if you fail to give
them the same facilities of wealth and
prosperity you have extended or may
extend to others in this regard.
Promising myself that upon future
occasion L will attempt to elaborate
and present more fully these as we'll
as other reasons that induced me to
support the bill of my colleague, l
have to thank the House for its pres
eut courtesy

4 MILLIoNAIRE's REByKE.
What the TomfoOlery Of Her City Fathers
est Baltimore.

The following is told Of the late
Thomas Winans, the Baltimore mil
lionairc:
"He built the magnificent concert
hall, and private skating rink con-
structed in the center of the enclosure.
There were in the grounds u.uv
beautiful specimens of Statuury brought
from Italy at great expense work. OF
art which Baltimore should Ice proud
in possessing. In addition tu the
marbles We're many magnificent
brOnZcs. All these costly works were
placed by Mr.. Winans near the op,u
iron fence which surrounded the char
ming park, i'm order that the citizens
OF his native city might enjoy his
treasures with him. But fcclin@ OF
mawkish prudcry soon showed il~rll.
Some bar-rOOm politician interested
himself i'm the cause Of good moral-.
and a resolution was introduced into
the City Council requiring Mr.. Viii
an; "tO conceal or remove the cOLico-
tiOnable statues such, for instance,
~ a copy of the 'Mcdici NcuI-, of
Powers Greek slave of Cauova'S
Three Graccs, n Hero and 'Apullu.'
Remarkable a. it may seem, the rc-o-
luton was passed 10y the Council Nj.
WinanS' action was characteristic
Daylight on the morning following
the action of the City Fathers di~clu--
cd more than three hundred hricl,lny-
ers at work, and in short time -

grass plot in Baltimore. The folly oi
the Councils action was aftcrwud
-een, and the resolution was rcSciudod
but Mr.. Winans refused 10 remove or

Another Wonderful Cave Discovered

GLASGOW JUNCTION, KY, June -.
Another wonderful cave has recent
Iy been discovered near this
town. 1t has already been explored
for a distance of % miles i'll one di~
rectiOn called the Long Route, and III
miles in another direction called the
Short Route, The avenues are very
wide. A span of horses can easily he
drive through for a distance of / miles.
Three rivers which are wide and very
deep, are encountered on the Long
Route. One of them is navigable for
fourteen miles until the passage be-
came too narrow to admit abOat. This
forms the third, or River Route, which
has been explored IN 4 boat, The
cave Is wonderful beyond description,
and far suppasses in Grandeur the
Mammoth Cave or any other cave
ever discovered. Several mummified
remains have been discovered in one
of the large rooms. They were repos-
ting in stone Collins rudely construct
ed, and from appearances may have
been in this cave for centuries. They
present every appearance of the Egyp-
tan mummies.
Great excitement prevails over this
important discovery. Mr.. h. Mort
more, of Chestnut street, Louisville,
KY, purchased three of the mummiea
and has them now in his possession.
Mai. George NJ. Proctor, Of Glasgow
Junction, KY, purchased the remain
der of mummies from the owner OF
the cave, whose name is Thos. Kelly.
He is, or rather was few days ago, a
very poor man, Struggling to make a
pavment on "a farm of twepty-four
acres, upon which by mere accident
the entrance to the wondeful cove was
discovered,

Howto Learn to Swim.

Every boy and girl should learn to
swim. A writer in the american -4g-
IicUltUrist offers the following sugges-
tons, by obedience to which the art
of swimming may be readily acquir-
ed:
When I was a boy ! learned to
swim by means of a swimming-board.
This is the safest method possible. If
corks are used they may slip from
around the breast down beneath the
body, throwing the head below the
surface, and putting the wearer i'll
danger of drowning.
Some country boys get two bladders
and then tie them together with n
sport cord, and use theae ~ supports.
They are the most dangerous things
possible for a boy to have.
The board is perfectly safe, and one
may learn to swim in very short time
by using one. 1t should be over four
feet long, over a foot wide and two in
ches thick, white pine or cedar.
To use it, boy wades into the wa
ter up to his shoulders, then taking
hold of tie end of the board he push
| es it before him-tOwards the bank,
and not into deeper water-sprlngs
| forward with his feet and throws him
self flat upon the water.
The movement carries him along a
few feet. He then draws up both his
legs at the same time, keeping the
knees as far apart as possible and then
strikes out with both feet not straight
backward, but sideways, just as frog
does.
The stroke is made slowly and is re.
peated again, drawing up the legs and
steadily. The board keeps the head
above water. When the leg stroke Is
learned, one hand is taken from the
board and the stroke learned, or the
chain may he rested on the board,
while the stroke is taken with both
| hands.
This isa very good plan, as it cOmpels
the swimmer to keep his hands under
the water, which he should always do
By-and-by the board may be pushed
ahead, and the young swimmer may
swim after it, and always keeping II
within reach. When a number OF
( boys go tG swim they should always
have two or three boards with them
for use of any accident.

BISHOP M'cosKRY.
His Final aud Absolute Retirement il
Disgrace.

| Detroit correspondence Chicago /rf-
! OiOlc: The evidence accumulated 10y
| the standing committee, once the scaU-
dial had got wind, was something
startling, and when the bishop came
back and announced himself through
MIR. ROmeyn, ready for examination,
the committee declared that nothing
but the regular course of trial could hc
contemplated. Mr. Romcyu was
shown some Of the proof, and hc was
startled. lie went to- the bishop with
his newly acquired knowledge, and
told him that the case was not one
that could be defended. The terms of
the committee were simple They
had no desire, as the bishop sup
posed, to defend him. They were not,
as he supposed, tho intimate friends,
with whom he had grown from child
hood-sOme of them, at lcast-sympa-
thiZers who would go any length tO
cover up his sins, after the Plymouth
church style, but rather stern men,
who had the courage 10 make the
church itselfmOre ofa cause than man.
They had proofs before them which
fully convinced them that the charges
were well supported, and they took the
ground that their duty laid wholly
with the church. Mr.. Rumcyu wa-
informed that the committee would
appear before any investigating COM
mittee in the character of corporate
prosecutor. The bishop then asked
concessions, but these were refused
All that the committee would accept
was an unconditional resignation, not
only of the bishopric of Detroit, but
of every clerical functiOn-in short,
the stepping down and out of The min
isterial office i'm its every degree by
the bishop. This, after one days dc~
lay, the bishop decided upon. His re-
signatiOn, placed in the hands Of Bi-h-
Op Smith, of Kentucky, Is absolute.
1t is an absolute confession, i'm the
form it takes, of all the charges which
have been made, and it i startling
enough to take the breath away from
all who have up to the present time
been the defenders of the bishop.
This is the last we shall see or hear of
1t is probable that he will
sail for Europe shortly, and there end
his days in olscurity. He has, uu-
happily, wrought much harm 10 rCll-
gion in Michigan, harm. which would
have a thOusaudfold magniticd had

and energy To take the scan
-ial up i'm all its hideOus magnitude
and dispose of il at once and forever.

ais Jenny Lind poor"
"Not bit of it. The reports to that

grOssest slanders-all that story, you

Old Ijaniel Webster, whenever he
heard her sing the Swiss Echo song,
would rise in the audience as soon as
she had finished, and make three pro-
