Hon. EBEN G.. INGERsoLL, ex- Repre-
sentative in Congress from Illinois, and
brother Of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, died in
Washington on the 3lst Of apoplexy. The
funeral services consisted simply of a brief
Grafton over the remains by Col. Ingersoll,
and parting visit from friends.
LAcosTE, q Frenchman, naturalized
in the United States some years ago, has
been expelled from France for renouncing
his nationality without performing his mill

tion Of the order.

At Los Vegas, N. NJ, one night re-
Gently, mob broke into the Jail and took
out two men confined fof murder and hang
ed both of them in the Public Square.
There seemed to be some apprehension that
the murderers would escape punishment
through some delay or technicaiity in the
law, and hence the summary proceedings.

Iron in the Atmosphere.

Observations of snow collected on
mountain-tops and within the Arctic cir
Gle far beyond the influence of factories
and smoke confirm the supposition that
minute particles of iron float in the at
mesphere, and in time fall to the earth.
Some physicists believe that these float
ing particles of iron are concerned in
the striking phenomena of the aurora.
Gronemann of Gottingen holds that
streams of the particles revolve round
the sun, and that when passing the earth
they are attracted to the poles, and
thence stretch forth as long tilaments
into space. But as they travel with
planetary velocity they become ignited
in our atmosphere, and thus produce
the luminous appearances of aurore.
In his recent voyages Prof. Nordensk-
jold examined snow far in the North
beyond Spitzbergen, and found therein
exceedingly small particles of metallic
iron, phosphorus, and cobalt.-Eclectic

A RECENT Washington dispatch says
The declared intention of Gen. Con.
way to remove negroes from the Missis-
sippi Valley, under the advice AMI prom
ised protection of the Presid, mt, has
aroused much indignation among the
members otthe Mississippi and Louisi-
ana delegations Several members, rep
resenting these delegations, called on
Nj. Hayes, and protested against the
use made of his name. Mr.. Hayes as
sured them that he had not advised Gen.
Conway to make any such movement.
His only declaration was that the navi-
CATION of the Mississippi River should
be free, and must remain unmolested.
He expressed the opinion that while any
citizen, white or colored, had a erfect
right to emigrate from one section of
the country to another, it would GER
tainly be very unfortunate for large
masses of colored people to go to any
one particular section of the country.
He expressed no opinion as to the pol
icy or wisdom of the present Southern
exodus"

Broad Experience.

Once upon a time the mule, without
having received an invitation, attended
a convention of animals that was called
for the purpose of discussing the best
methods of family government.
"What do you know about all thisP"
asked the President, tauntingly; Shave
you ever raised any children!"
The mule wept. "Ah, no." she said,
81 have never raised any thing but full
grown men; but, land of the Pilgrims,
you should have seen how raised them
you should see me raise man that
weighs as much as David Davis"
Upon rising vote the mule was i'm

Bismarck as an Orator.

The following pen-and-ink sketch of
the German Chancellor delivering his
great speech in the Reichstag on the
Customs tariffs is from the Berlin Tag
blah, "Hush! Bismarck is speak
ingi" With these words you are usher
ed into the Reichstag. And it is SO. Be-
fore even hearing a word you can tell by
the aspect of the Chamber that it is the
Chancellor who is speaking. With their
bodies stretched out and ears wide open,
every body leans forward to listen. The
pencils of the shorthand writer's fly
over the paper with the rapidity of
lightning, and you hold your breath in
voluntarily that you may hear better.
From below is heard feeble voice-one
of those voices which by its nervous
tone suggests excess of intellectual
work. The words come by jerks, each
sentence being laboriously formed. The
orator is sometimes hurried, sometimes
hesitating, in his speech. He recalls
each sentence, twists it, and turns it
about until he has eliminated all the
points which an adversary might at
tack. 1t is then only that he abandons
it to the House. In listening to him you
experience strange excitement, for
while this strong man continues his
speech you are momentarily feeling that
he will suddenly stop short in the middle
of his discourse. Not that ideas are like
ly to be wanting, but one fears lest the
weakly voice which issues so laboriously
from the Chancellor's robust frame may
fail in the midst of a peroration without
the possibility, in the hurry, of picking
up the broken threads. The Chancellor
himself looks ill at ease while speaking,
his thin white hands fidgeting now with
one, now with another of the buttons of
his modest dark-blue cuirassier's uni
form. Then they catch feverishly at the
long pencils so much talked about;
s seessk re refuge on the table; and at last
on the tribune. You might fancy that
it was only this resting place that was
wanting, for presently his speech grows
firmer, more severe; words flow from
his lips with greater clearness; his thick
eyebrows are lowered still more upon
the gray eyes which seem to penetrate
the ranks of the Deputies. 1t is now
evident that the orator is approaching
the end of his speech; the sentences
become shorter and more vigorous. And
then the Chancellor draws himself up to
his full height; the voice, SO weak at
first, gains clear, hard ring, and he
throws his last sentence like bomb into
the midst of the Chamber, resuming his
seat amid the loud applause of his
friends.
