QUEER HABITATIoNs IN NoRwAY.-Emma
D. Southwick writes to the Boston Journal
Going up the Fjord, the Captain pointed
out several of the curious mountain homes
which often are seen in Norway, clinging to
the almost perpendicular mountain side,
apparently inaccessible, yet being gsurround-
ed by gardens, plats of grain, and houses
for winter shelter for the cows, sheep and
goats which range every available feeding
ground during the summer, but must, we
thought, be with difficulty sustained
through the long winters here. At one of
these they are obliged, if they need horse,
to buy very small one and take him up
as there is no way of getting a large one up
to the farm. Many of these places are built
on such steep ground that it seems as
though the people who work the land must
slide off while at work

SHOOTING AND CUTTING.
Three Affrays and Their Serious
Results.
AUSTIN CARNEY,

quarryman living on Lehman Road, west
of Millcreek, and Thomas German, a neigh
Dor and fellow-workman, have often in
dulged in bitter quarrels and they renewed
their strife last Saturday with very serious
results In the evening Carney heard two
shots fired near his house, but could not
tell from whence they came A little later
he was standing'in his door with his two
year-old son IN his arms when another shot
was fired which hit the child in the knee
Carney who states that the shot came from
Gorman's door and that he recognized Cor
man by the light of the flash, summoned
the officers and German was arrested. His
| trial is set for October 4th. Bail $500.
HENRY BROWN,
who keeps a saloon at No. 157 Sixth street,
which is patronized bya disreputable class
of people, was arrested last night on the
charge of shooting Bob McGinty in the fore
head with revolver. 1t appears that a
party of roughs, after drinking until they
were intoxicated, refused to pay for their
drinks, and were put out. McGinty then
forced his way back through a side door,
and during the struggle which followed
received the shot, which will probably
prove fatal. By this time the officers ar
rived and arrested Brown, who will be tried
October 5th. Bail $4,000 'McGinty was
taken to the Hospital. where he is now lying
in dangerous condition.

Memorial Day.

The ingratitude of republics is proverbial.
But this nation is certainly not now open to
that reproach. 1t has bestowed substantial
benefits upon those who perlled their lives in
its defense and came back to claim their re-
ward. The memory of those who did not
return is kept green in every hamlet of the
loyal States by ceremonies like those we OBJ
serve to-day. We have set apart time for
the special teaching and example of
the virtue of patriotism, for that is the
esson Of Memorial Day. On this occa-
lion we express anew by peculiarly beau
tiful aud appropriate ceremonies, our de.
votion to the Union and regard for its de-
tenders, and ''show the sad honors of our
hearts" to the heroic men who sacrificed
themselves that we and our posterity might
enjoy the blessings of free and stable govern
ment. These recurring ceremonies in which
mingled wreaths of laurel and cypress
betokeEing triumph and sorrow-triumph
over restored and victorious union,
sorrow for the brave and steadfast who
gave up their lives for that triumph
are heaped upon the graves OF our soldiers
are more even than tributes OF respect for
the dead; they are incentives TO the living as
well to hold themselves in readiness for the
call of duty and to go forth as bravely
and cheerfully in the hour of peril
to the defense of the nation and
the principles upon which it is founded.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that
man lay down his life for his friends" This
greatest proof of affection has been given by
those whose memory we honor to-day.

POSTMASTER GENERAL Key mas address,
ed letter to the people of the South in re-
gard to the Potter resolution. He says the
circumstances attending its passage afford
sufficient evidence that its purpose ia to oust
President Hayes and inaugurate Mr.. Tiden.
He calls the attention of his Southern friends
to the encouragement which Northern
Democrats extended to the Southern States
in 1860 and 1861 to secede, and the manner
in which their promises of aid and comfort
were fulfilled, and asks if the South can af
ford to to join this new revolutionary move
ment, with the certainty that when the hour
of peril comes they will again be left unas-
sisted and alone to meet the storm from the
North once more united by this attempt 10
revive an issue whose settlement was forced
by public opinion upon an unwilling Con-
gress. He tells the Southern people it is
their duty to afford crownng evidence of
their renewed devotion to the Union, in
which they now enjoy every right of citizen
ship, and are subject to no restrictions not
laid upon every citizen, by sending Represen-
tatives to the forty y-sixth Congress pledged to
resist, at all hazards, revolutionary schemes
of mischief.makers, who seem to have gained
control of the House of Representatives of
the forty-fitth Congress. To this end the
people in every district should meet and pub
licly organize, and resolve to support no per-
son for Congress who has given aid to this
movement, and who will not pledge himself
to sustain the title Of President Hayes during
the term for which he was elected against all
attempts at its overthrow.

THE Argus thinks that the manufacture
of incomes has been seriously retarded by
the action of Congress. That is so. The
prevailing uncertainty as to financial legisa-
ton disturbs all industries, and has thrown
many men out of employment. But the
idea of the argus that men refuse to have
incomes for fear those incomes shall be taxed
is a curious one. Can it be that the Arqus
refers to the tobacco tax?

The Potter committee finds itself balked
at the very start. Its witness Anderson,
who, by the way, has been drinking like a
Democratic Congressman since he came to
Washington, has told SO many contradictory
stories and so shamelessly lied about his
acquaintance with Secretary Sherman that
his testimony will be utterly unworthy of
belief-and he is about the only witness the
Democrats have against Sherman.

ONE of the principal objects of the Potter
resolution, according to its author, is to pre-
vent the repetition of frauds. The Repub.
licans allege frauds in Mississippi and several
ether States, but Mr.. Potter refuses to in.
quire into them because they were inopera,
tive. Evidently the Democrats hope they
will become operative next time, and don't
want to do anything to prevent their repe-
tition. They want all the benefits of fraud
themselves.
