Mr.. THURMAN's Senatorial term will
end on the 4th of March, 1881, and with
it will end his official life. The Demo-
Gratis of this State may talk about putting
him before their National Convention for
the Presidential nomination, but his
strength in that direction has been pretty
effectually tested in the election that has
just been held in this State, and has failed
to meet the expectations of his political
friends in the State, and the Democracy
of the Union, however much they may
have admired him as Il Presidential can
didate, have not been strengthened in
their admiration of him by his failure
to charm the people Of Ohio with either
his financial theories or his State sover-
eighty Southern policyS and as a candi-
date his party, outside of the State, as
well as inside of Ohio, can but regard
him as failure, and, to put it in the vul-
gar phrase of the day, Mr.. Thurman is
simply dead duck.

seems to be giving way and the mountain
sinking. Breaks are seen wide and deep

being closely pressed by their ~solicita.
ton, teigned sudden illness, and re-
quired the immediate attendance of
the midwife, leaving it to Darnley to
tell the lords what she would do. The
device succeeded. In spite of the
suspicious of the conspirators, a mid
wife, appointed by themselves, report
ed that her life was in danger from
premature pains Of labor, and the
lords were obliged to deter further
solicitations till next day. But by
this time Mary's plan of escape had
been secretly arranged, and before
daybreak next morning she and Darn
ley were already far on the road to
Dunbar.
Such is the curious revelation now
made from a MS. which has always
been perfectly accessible to literary
men, but which no one but Mr.. Ste.
venson seems to have troubled himself
to read through. We have stated the
substance of the facts as contained in
the account given of them by Mr..
Stevenson himself in the last two
numbers of our Roman Catholic CON
temporary, the Month. But we trust
the MS. will now at length be pub
so that those who are interest
ed in the story may be able to read it
in detail in the original narrative.

THE MURDER OF RIzzIO.
Some New Facts With Regard to the
Conspiracy.

The London Atheneum has the
following with regard to some newly
discovered facts concerning the con-
spiracy for the murder of Rizzio, the
fayOrite Of Mary, Queen of Scots
If any historical subject could be
regarded as thoroughly exhausted so
far as old sources of information are
concerned, one would say it was the
life and adventures of Mary Stuart.
And yet in the very best known and
most accessible of all Ms. collections
the Cottonian L~ibrary-the Rev.
Joseph Stevenson has discovered some
new particulars Of very considerable
interest connected with the murder Of
Rizzio, which any reader in the Brit
ish Museum might have found out
ages ago by merely bestowing a little
patience on some rather cramped and
difficult handwriting. The Ms, which
is imperfect at the beginning, is
supposed to have been dictated
by Mary Stuart herself, or writ
ten directly from information sup
Dlied by her own mouth TO her
French secretary Nau during her con-
inement at Charley. The story be-
gins, however. not with the queen, but
with the confederate lords, just after
the murder, discussing what is to be
done next. Darnley is terrified at
their proposals, and endeayors that
night to enter the queens bedroom
by a private stair. But the ~queen'had
locked the door, and resisted firmly
till next morning his petition TO open
it, Notwithstanding his assurance tnat
he had something to tell which con.
cerned their common safety. When
at length he gained admittancc to her
presence, his first act was 10 throw
himself on his knees before her, i'm
plore her pardon, and show her the
secret articles between himself and
his accomplices. The queen told him
frankly he had lost her confidence,
she believed forever; but that he must
now devise means 10 eZtricate both
himself and her from imminent dan
ger, Darnley advised her, if desired,
to pardon the conspirators, and said
he would cndeavor to arrange a com
promise. Mary refused to pledge her
self to any such thing, but de-
clared her husband might promise
what he pleased in her name.
Darnley, however, persevered and
FIRST brought his father singly to
visit her, 10 whom she spoke coldly.
Afterwards he brought the other
lords Of the same faction to the
queens presence, and Morton, as
spokesman for the rest, bcsought her
pardon, kneoling on the veryspot which
was still red with the blood Of Riz-
zio. Morton %endcayored to palliate
their conduct as being prompted not
by enmity 10 the Queen, but by fear

Reunion of the Alumni Of the
University of Tennessee.

By virtue of an act of the legisla-
ture, passed at its last session, the
East Tennessee University became the
University of Tennessee.
For some years the Association of
the Alumni of the University has
cherished the design of a reunion not
only of its own members, but of all
the former students of the University,
and in view o. the fact that our Alma
Mater has become in name as she has
been in reality the University of Ten
nessee, the approaching commence
ment seems an occasion to which the
proposed reunion will be peculiarly
appropriate. The President of the
Alumni Association has therefore
been instructed to associate with him
self two others as a committee to pre-
bare an address setting forth those
facts and inviting all alumni and for
mer students Of the University to
attend the next commencement, the
exercises of which will besin on
Sunday morning, June 16, 1879, and
conclude with the reunion banquet on
the afternoon of the following
Wednesday. On Tuesday evening,
Colonel Nose White will read before
the Alumni an historical sketch of the
University, to be followed by a poem
from another distinguished member of
the association.
Extensive preparations for the ban
duet are in progress, and a number of
distinguished gentlemen from various
parts ofthe South have signifed their
intention to be present.
An arrangement has been made
with the Tennessee railroads by which
Alumni and former students desiring
to attend will be allowed reduced

Taken as a whole, throughout the
country, housekeepers suffer more
annoyance and destruction of furni-
ture, carpets, and wooden garments
by moths, han from any other pest.
Moths are universal, and whole sets
of costly upholstered furniture fade
away, losing their beauty and sub
stance, even after days, weeks, and
months of watching, beating and
picking, with painstaking care. A
set of furniture hat seemed to be
alive with the larvae from the month
it came new, and from which hun
dreds of these pests had been picked
and pushed, was set into a room by
itself. Three gallons Of benzine were
purchased, at 30 cents a gallon, retail.
Using a small watering pot, with a
fine rose sprinkler, the whole uphol-
stery was saturated through and
through with the benzine. Every
moth, Larvae, and egg was killed.
The benzine dried out in a few hours.
and its entire odor disappeared in
three or four days. Not the slightest
harm happened to the varnish. or
wood, or fabrics, or hair stufing. That
was months ago, and not a sign of a
moth has since appeared. The car
pets were also well sprinkled all round
the sides of the rooms with equally
good effect. For furs, hannels, in
deed, all wooden articles containing
moths, benzine is most valuable. Put
them in a box, sprinkle them with
benzine, close the box tightly, and in
a day or two the pests will be exter-
minated, and the benzine will all
evaporate on opening. Benzine, be-.
ing very inflammable, no fire or burn
ing light must be used until it has

San Francisco Chronicle.l
All the coast streams, from Russian
river to the Carmel, in Monterey
county, have from time to time been
stocked with Eastern trout. But for
some hitherto unknown reason the
efforts Of the fish commissioners in
this respect have not succeeded. Very
few have ever been caught in any Of
these streams after they have grown.
and in every case the supply has grad.
ually diminished or disappeared en-
tirely, Coincident with these failures
efforts have been made to stock the
summit streams with these trout, and
1t has been found that in eveay case
where the streams run through a slate
or granite formation the fish thrive as
we'll as in their native homes. The
coast streams nearly all run through a
sandstone formation, and in conse-
quence the streams arc muddy
when the water is low. The noun
tain formations being harder the
streams are clearer. 1t is supposed
that the failure of the fish in the
coast streams and their success in
the Sierra SUBMITS are due to these
facts. and it is hardly probable that
we shall ever have Eastern trout in
our coast streams. The theory that
it is the muddy water. and not any in
herent qualities of the coast stream
waters, that is fatal to the Eastern
trout is confirmed by the recent ex-
perience of the fish commission. They
had in San Leandro lake about 10000
Eastern trout about three weeks old,
which they were on the point of dis
tributing, when the late heavy rains
came aud rendered the water more or
less muddy. This produced disease
among the Eastern trout to such an
extent that at least three-fourths of
them died, and the remainder were
saved only by being removed to clear
water. At the same time the Nc
Cloud trout, in the same water.
were perfectly healthy, and seemed
not to suffer al all from the condition
of the water.
