poisoning case, essentially different
from tho COBB Bishop affair, is reported from
Minnesota. EDWARD DAVEY loved EMMA j.
HAUrH, widow with baby son. DAvEY Is
not handsome. and. bosidcs. has very violent
temper and Mrs HARrp rejected him when he
asked her to become his wife. Perhaps the
chief reason for the rejection Of DAvEY was tho
fnct that Mrs. HAETF had n decided preference
for a young man named JAMES DOYLE. who has
been attending upon her with II view TO matri-
mony. DAvEY coninucd. after his repuse, to
visit the house in which Mrs. HARTH resided,

Now that the Commissioned General and
his magnificent stan have returned from the
Paris show. it is good time for tho House Of
Representatives to inquire how the extra forty
thousand dollars which were foolishly added to
the previous hundred and lfty thousand, were
expended. The people. who have to foot all
these expenditures. are ut least entitled to bill
OF particulars for their money. They don't get
much else for tho taxes they have to bear.
The original net OF Dec. IS, 1877. gave author
lily to assign one or moro Of the public vessels
to transport to and from France free Of cost.

by tho citizens OF the United States" Under
cover OF this clause. three ships Of war were
assigned. and one of them was chiefly used to
carry passengers. the pets and favorits OF the
Navy DEPARTMENT. at the public expense.
When the cost Of fitting out these ships and
maintaining them abroad, and the value Of tho
freight they carried. are added TO the two
money grants. il will be found that the out
lay OF the United States was greater than
that of any other country. in proportion to the
spncc occupied at the Exposition. For this we
