FIrzJoHN PORTER.
He is a Solid Muldoon, Having Things
Fixed.

New York, Aug. 4.-The S,m's
Washington special says: Army circles
here are excited over the new move soon
to be made BY. Fitzjohn Porter. Gar
field, a member of the court-martial
that condemned Porter, has rallied all
the Republican influence he could COM
mand to prevent President Hayes from
taking any action whatever on the find
ing of the court of inquiry. Gen. Nc
Clellan is very anxious to have Porter
righted, because his Condemnation dur
ing the war was an indirect reflection
upon himself. Mcclellan has had a
conference with Randolph, of New
Jersey, chairman Of the senate commit
tee. on military affairs, and Randolph
has agreed to press through the COM
mittee bill restoring Porter to rank in
the army as major-general, with pay
and allowances since dismissal, amount
ing to $4,000. 1t is generally under
stood that the democrats will make a
political matter out of the case and re-
store Porter. The question has arisen
in administration circles whether con-
greos has power to do this, and both
Evarts and Devens say there is no
question about it. Gen. Sherman is
quietly upon Porter's side, which adds
TO the certainty of his success. 1t is
believed in army circles that Mcdowell
will be put upon the retired list and
Porter given his place. In that case
Porter would be placed over Ahis old
enemy, Pope, who could hardly consent
to remain in that department under'th
changed order of things.

A German physician has demonstrated
that early rising is very bad habit. He
has taken the trouble to collect informa-
ton as to the habits in this respect of
several persons who have lived to an ad-
vanced age, and he finds that in the ma
jority f the cases the hong livers have
INDUCED in late hours. At least eight
ont of ten persons who attained the age
of eighty years and upward we're in the
habit OF not retiring until the early hours
of the morning, and Of remaining in bed
until the day was far advanced. On the
other hand he has failed to discover, af-
ter careful observation of the health Of
several early risers, that it was in any
degree better than that of similar num-
Der of late risers. He thinks that 50 far
from any decided benefit being gained
by getting up early in the morning, it
rather tends to exhaust physical power
and to shorten life.

Another "Buttercup' has made her
debut in Philadelphia. Superintendent
Brown, OF the geological Garden, was
summoned to the monkey cages last Sun
day to christen a fine girl which was
tightly clasped in the arms of her
mother, and when he saw the diminutive
Likeness of Rosie Macaque he murmured:
"'Poor Little Buttercup.'" The little
monkey is very pretty little brunette,
with dark hair, gray eyes and an exceed
iEgly animated manner. She weighs two
pounds and seems to have an excellent
disposition. One large female mandrill
sits for hours at the partition watching
the little one, and with its pufed-up
purplisl black cheeks looks as if it were
mourning in solitary widowhood, and
envying the happy mother. Whenever
she can reach "Little Buttercup" the
mandrill pokcs its fingers through the
wires of the cage, as if it were a privi-
lege to pet the baby.

Harpers Weekly (Rep.): The country
always needs strong Executive. But
if it must have General Grant in 1880,
not because he is believed to be wise
magistrate, but because he is "a strong"
man, it must have him for the same rea-
son in 1854, and as long as he lives. 1t
is an argument which proves too much.
To say that he is the only candidate who
can be elected is the confession of de-
spair that we do not share; and to assert
that he is the sole distinctive representa-
tive of Republican principles is to insult
Republican intelligence. Presidential

The New York Dog show.

The dog that will probably attract
more attention than any other is Lester
Wallack's Irish wolf dog. This is the
only dog of its species in the United
States. 1t was thought, few years ago,
that the breed had become extinct, even
in Ireland, where the wolf dog has his
toric character, but Dion Boucicault dis
covered genuine specimen and had it
brought to New York. He kept it for
some time, and then made present of it
to Mr.. Wallack, who values it very
highly. Mr.. Wallack is as careful of
"Bevis" (the wolf dogs name) as though
the animal were inherited from his re-
motest ancestor,

nominations are generally made by
chance and management, not by the SEN
timent of party, and however probable,
for that reason, the nomination of Gen
eral Grant may be, it seems likely that
it would chill sincere part of the oppo-
sition to the Democrats, would be ac-
cepted with doubt and regret by another
part, and would be really welcome only
to third part.

They are disputing in the Irish press
over who was the first Protestant. Writ
ing to the Queen on December 10Th, 1889,
Prince Albert informed the head of the
Anglican Church that his ancestor, "the
Elector, Frederick the Wise of Saxony,
was the first Protestant that ever lived"
The date of this Frederick was 1921, and
we thus have the birth date Of Protestant
ism most usefully settled by the highest
authority. Something might be said for
the priority of Frederick's teacher, Mar
tin Luther. Still, not being Royal
parsonage and having been monk, he
does not count.

A country lad and maiden living in e
village near Rome loved each. One day,
while he was at a window, he saw the
girl pass with bucket of water on her
head. He had gun IL his hand and,
pointing it at her, he said, laughingIy,
"Take care, Pm going to shoot" The
girl only laughed, and proceeded on her
way, but slowly, on account of the load
on her head. A little boy, however,
brother to the girls lover, thinking him
in earnest, tried to pull him back by one
of his legs. The young fellow, losing his
equilibrium, clutched at the window-sill.
But in doing SO he let fall his gun, which
went off and struck the girl mid-body.
She died on the spot.
