The Missing Feather buster.

Alluding to the retirement of the
members Of the House Of DelegateS of
the District Of Columbia In 1874, when
they were rotated out Of office by the
achof Congress, the Washington Star
says "In adiourning soae die some of
the members carried away almost
everything portable about the cham
bers- desks, chairs, clocks, water
coolers, mirrors, inkstands, wash
stands, towels, scissors, combs, brushes,
soap. and even tooth brushes. One
member, in his solicitude to preserve
some memento of this last representa-
tive body and bulwark Of the people OF
the district, took away large feather
duster, and not to be ostentatious about
it, he concealed the samaupon his per-
son with considerable ingenuity by
passing the handle down @ trouser-leg
and buttoning the feather end snugly
under his vest. Through the pressing
solicitations Of the police-who showed
a vast want Of appreciation Of the rights
Of representative legislators the delS-
gates were induced to return most Of the
abstrected articles, but no traces 81 that
feather duster were ever found"

Some thought that a revolution had
taken place, and that the great guns OF

A Paris gentleman, M. Duval, has dis
covered q new way to get rid Of a
troublesome wife. She was fond Of
spirits and society, and he had endured
her presence as long asehe felt he was
in honor bound to do. So he rubbed
her all over with petroleum and then
set fire to the oil. At IL o'clock In the
morning he burst into neighbours
room to tell how ehis wife had just
burned herself and how he had scorched
his hands in attemptingsto put out the
flames. The neighbor followed him TO
the scene Of these experiments in oil
and found the woman lying on the floor
senseless, but still breathing. After q
little she regained her consciousness
sufficiently to speak, and with her last
breath she charged her husband with
having murdered her. M. Duval, on
being arrested, declared that his wife
was in delirium when she accused him,
but the physicians insist that she had
her full senses, From first to last the
story is peculiarly French, and the re-
suit Of the trial doubtless will be a fit
ting sequel to it; the murderer will be
sent to prison for few months.

Tn a brief conversation with Hon. A. II.
Fl. Stuart the other day, he expressed the
confident belief that the country was on
the threshold OF uaexampled prosperity,
and the time was not far in the distance
when the evidences OF it would be mani
tested in industrial activity and interchange
OF all kinds OF property, especially real
estate. The verdict Of the people in the
northern and western States IN favor OF
honest money ard the financial policy OF
the G Government he regards as healthy sign,
and the assurance that we are to have SUP
stantiaIly no interference with the methods
now being pursued to restore the business OF
the country to normal condition. be rur-
Their expressed the belief that the result OF the
elections on the.5th OF November substan-
fiaIly settled the greenback question, at the
same time it indicated that the Republicans
would take another lease OF power to con-
time for twelve years to come. Inc De
mocracy had every reason to 1uStliy the
conclusion that they would elect the Pres!-
dent in 1850 until they commenced to pan,
der to the imitation policy, but now ne could
see no encouraging sign to favor them IN
the next presidential! contest. MIR. Stuart
is very pronounced against the greenDack
folly, and considers it reflection upon the
American people to presume that they VIII
recognize any other financial system tnah
that which is based upon the money OF the
Constitution and vindicated by the expert
cnce OF all civilized governments.

him what he thought OF Hayes's surrender

very little difference whether Mr.. Hayes
abandoned his so-called' southern policy Oh
not, as far as affecting the result OF the cleo

"Mr. Hayes can direct his attorneys to
prosecute parties guilty OF election frauds,
if there are any, and that is all right; but
that's all he can do. He cannot send troops
into tie South without violating the Con-
stitution. It is clear that the Republican!

and that the amount so diverted reaches
over million of dollars considerably. One
fact the rartisans OF each Of these high,

the schools are in languishing con-
