The INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE have been
unfortunate in the cast of its witnesses,
and they have grown no better as the thing
progressed. Among the more recent wit
nesses was Mrs. jerks, who showed her
self one Of the best informed politicians of
the day, and as accomplished a diplomat
as could be found in a summer days
journey, She carried too many guns fo-
even old Ben Butler, and his colleagues
upon the Committee were as little compe-
tent to measure weapons with her. She
was supposed to be an important witness,
and the one from whom the John Sherman
letter TO Anderson and Weber-guarantee
ing that they should be taken care of-was
to be brought to light, and its paternity
fixed beyond question, Although the
COMMITTEES used its cleYsrness to the best
advantage, the result sought was not OBJ
tanned. About the elearest point gained
was that Mrs. jerks herself dictated the
letter, but who the amanuensis was that
took down her ideas could not be- obtained.
The object Of the preparation of the Latter
seems to have been more frolicsome than
otherwise. An intutive sense Of Andsrson,s
intention about the use of the letter ss.mod
to have been enjoyed by Mrs. J., and An
derson was lett in ignorance IS to the
mode the epistle came into existence and
supposed that Sherman was the author.
Nothing occurring in the course of the sx-
aminations Of the committee has been so
irrSsistably comical and ludicrous as the
examination Of thiswoman. She was upon
the stand some four or five hours, during
which the msmbers of the committee we're
--as they deolared-wearied out, while this
remarkable lady assured the COMMITTEES that
she felt no wSarisomeness, and was ready for
any continuance of the investigation. II
the committee had before felt that their
mission was failure, they now felt that
their inability to cope with woman in g
cross examination. attorneys as they were,
placed them in q category hardly less than
ridiculous.

Ode to June--House and Farm

By RID. NORRIS.
U, lovely June, once more hail
Thy gentle power-along the vale,
Over the hillside, over the glens,
Away from the busy haunts of men,
Along the brawling brooks, l see.
Clear tokens of thy majesty.
Thy floral sister May, retires
And quits the field-thy sanguine fires.
Deep permeate the fertile soil,
Producing fruit-rewarding toll,
Inspiring love and alteration
10 the great author of creation.
The clover now is in the bloom,
The willy spider works his loom,
The humbird, whizzing through the air
Appears sprite with plumage fair,
The wh1ppoorwill, adown the vale,
Pours out her sweet, nocturnal wall,
Or IN the forests deeper gloom
The great owl halls the rising moon.
Or in the orchards loYelier bowers,
The cuckoO's note beguiles the hours,
Here the sweet thrush the live day long,
Carols her ''bena corna, " song,
Meanwhile the hawks, with pinions fair,
In graceful circles swings the air,
The squirrel springs from tree to tree.
How happy the industrious bee,
And all the myriad forms that rise,
Inspire their sweetest melodies.
Twas thus in old Arcadian days,
Virgilius Marc, tuned his lays,
Moving the hearts of simple strains,
Led captive by his artless strains.
Not so, the present race of men,
They'll not be moved by r. D. N.

| PARIS EXHIBITION RESTAURANTS. Mr.
Smalley writes to the New York Tribune
A young man from the country, attracted
| like others by the exhibition, applied tbf
other daysat a servants agency for bertI
as garcon in restaurant. He was told
there were vacancies in one of the exhibi.
tions cafes. Inquiring about wages, be
learned that the proprietor receives wages
from his servants, instead of paying them.
He could have the place on condition of
paying to the owner twelve franes-2. 40
every morning before the doors opened to
the public. That ceremony performed,
the waiter was at liberty to put into his
own pocket all gratuities received from
the customers he served. / believe he had
two meals daily beside, and he must calcu-
late on getting eighteen or twenty francs a
day at least, in pourpoires to give him de-
cent wages after his employers tax has
been paid.
This shows on what expectations the res
taurant keepers have set up their establish
ments. As there are but four. an absurdly
small number, within the whole building.
the owners may very likely profit by the
discomfts as well as by the needs of the
public.
l heard to-day of three friends who, af
ter hunting in vain for an empty table,
finally took their station near one where
three other men, who seemed to have fin
lshed breakfast, were seated. They wait
ed and waited. Presently one, boldsr than
the rest, ventured to hint to the three who
remained immoyable, that if they had
really had their owR breakfast, the new
comers would like chance. The answer
was that they had been sitting there half
an hour in the hope of being served, and
had not yet had a mouthful.
An American naval officer told me there
were Two restaurants at one end of the
building, to one of which he went when be
was not hungry and to the other when he
was, which must pass as a doubtful COM
pllment to either. At present, the inside
cafes are closed when the outer doors are
closed, and the visitor who has made his
arrangements to dine at the exhibition
Will be likely to 60 away hungering.

The State Convention which met at
Cincinnati on the 18th inst, had a har-
moniOus session, and the nominees were
given in our columns at the time.
The only question that gave rise to any
discussion in the meeting of the XIXth
District delegates, was in regard to the
question of endorsing the administration
OF President Hayes. Mr.. Steele, who had
Deen put IN nomination for committee on
resolutions, expressed himself as not in
favor Of an endorsement resolution being
put in the platform. Messrs. HAYWARD
Jones and Perkins, favored an outspolren
endorsement of President Hayes. Mr.
Perkins nominated Jones. After diseus-
sion participated in by delegates from each
county, vote by ballot was had, which
resulted, Jones 81, Steele IS. The diseus-
sion was conducted with perfect good feel
