HAYES says he will not run for q Sec
ond term.
MIR. EvARTs announces very positively
that he would not accept the English
Mission.
1T Is vulgar TO call man "bow-leQ-
ged." just speak Of him as q parenthet-
ical pedestrian.
THE question Of cremation is again re-
ceiving serious coesidera ton in the large
cities of Europe.
SHARoS's reception 10 Grant cost S4O,-
900. Twenty-Five hundred people were
invited, and twice that many went.
JUDAH p. BESJAMINE, the remarkable
man, who has made name and fortune
over again since the end of the war. re-
Gently sent a poor country editor In
Louisiana check'for $500.
MILE. SAMARY is considered the eighth
wonder of the world in Paris, because
she is a member Of the Comedi Fran
caise along with Sara Bernhardt, and yet
remains good woman. So says Lucy
Hooper.
! DIR. FALK has been nominated as "a
candidate for the Prussian Landtag in
more than dozen constituencies, the
people not having forgotten that while
he was Education Minister the teachers
increased by 1000 and the pupils by
0,000.
An interesting discovery has been
made at Nassenfuss in Styria. Under
the soil Of a field attached TO an ancient
form boy found vase in and around
which were 5000 gold, silver and copper
coins, bearing the cffigies of Severus,
Gallienus, Flavius, Claudius, Marcus,
Aurelius and Probus.
Miss MARY A. II. GAY, Georgia lady,
complains that Mark Twain has been
making liberal use of the contents of
book published by her in 1858, under
the title Of Prose and Poetry" in the
preparation Of his own tom Sawyer"
To make good her charge she is about to
bring out u new edition of her own
book.
ARTISTS say they do not crave com.
missions from Congress, for if painter
gets an order for a $4,000 picture he Il
expected TO paint the portraits of lot OF
Congressman for nothing. There are
often, also, expenses incident to procur-
ing such commissions. In consequence
about three. iourths OF the profits are
dissipated and II $4,000 commission is
really worth about $500.
ABOUT midnight on September 10, per-
SONS residing near one of the public
schcol-houses in Deadwood, Dakota, were
startled by the loud and distinct tolling
of the school-bell in the tower. Many
ran TO the place to find everything dark,
the doors locked, the shutters barred and
no mortal within. The scene shifts to
the Overland Hotel, where Mrs. Clara
Is. Helms, the teacher in the schoolhouse
in question, lay dying. Persons at the
bedside aver that they heard her mutter
Ring the bell, Just at midnight. She
died before morning
THERE are now in Germany, twenty
universities, and all Of them have the
same constitution. As they are partially
| supported by the State the latter
claims right of control. In the days Of
reaction which followed the Napoleonic
wars and the revolutionary outbreak of
lS4s, this right was often exercised TO
! the detriment of the universities, and ii
Prince Bismark continues his present
policy-like experiences may befall them
But at present each university manages
its own affairs and has the appointment
of its own professors.
THE contemplated marriage Of King
Alfonso Is the one topic with which the
Spanish people are busying themselves
The mere question of who should 90 to
Vienna 10 make the official request for
the hand of the Archduchess, has occu-
| pied for weeks, day after day, from two
to five columns of each Of the Madrid
journals, Conservative, Liberal and Re
publican alike. A more important qucs-
ton that is under discussion is what
procedure is needed and what action of
the Cortes must be taken under the
present statutes Of Spain to make the
proposed marriage cfiectual in respect
TO securing all civil right in the Queen
and her descendants
REroRTs regarding the terms of sur
| render of the women taken captive by
the Utes who murdered Agent Meeker
are conflicting. In his dispatch TO Mr..
Schurtz, Peace Commissioner Adams
stated that the women were given up
Internationally. Our dispatches from
| Cheyenne this morning declare that
Chief Douglas cxacted u pledge from
Mr. Adams that himself and his immedi
ate kinsmen must be granted full i'm
munity from punishment for the part
they took in the outbreak. If this last
report is true, we may expect to be in
formed that all the numbering was done
by the particular Indians embraced In
the pardon. Evidently the Utes are
shrewdcr in diplomacy than the Secrc-
tary of the lnterior.-Giobe-D Democrat.
