-Ex-Gov. Mccormick, the Chief
Commissioner from the United States
to the Paris Exhibition, tells the
Washington Post that the Yankees
pleased the Europeans with American
scales, watches, locomotives, anthra-
cite coal and fine machinery. 1t ap-
pears, too, that our exhibit of dead
headism caused astonishment, for he
says: 1.-THE officials were overwhelmed
by crowds of Commissioners who
came over and made demands for
tickets and social privileges, and
greatly puzzled the French officials,
who could not imagine why they
should be so numerous. The law pro-
vided for the appointment of twenty
additional Commissioners. Then hon
orary Commissioners were created, two
from each State, appointed by the
Governor and confirmed by the Presi-
dent. Then it was decided that each
State and Territory might send as
many as it pleased, and Governors
made out blanks accordingly. Such a
cloud of witnesses made confusion,
which the French Government finally
reduced to order by deciding that they
would recognize only those appointed
by the President

A Handsome Income For An

ENERGETIC LADY OR GENTLEMAG.
The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati
have just patented and are now in
Producing to the public Handsomely
finished Family Scale, an article
that has always been needed in every
household, and in a communication
addressed to the publishers of this
paper the proprietors ask us to refer
them to some reliable party, to intro
duce it for them to the people of this
County. 1t is very seldom that a
new article steps so suddenly into uni
versal favor. House-keepers are loud
in its praise, it is always ready. there
are no weights to get lost or to be
hunted up, it is reliable, and will not
get out of order. The description of
them is a handsome base surmounted
by column in which works spiral
spring so scientifically adjusted as to
weigh anything up to twelve pounds
with perfect accuracy, on the top of
the column is the platform on which

and they have an adjustable indicator
so that you can take the tare of any
vessel you may use in weighing,
giving you the exact net weight.
House-keepers at once see their value
in weighing fruits, sugars and other
ingredients used in preserving, cook
ing ETC., or in testing the weights of
purchases from Others.
The scales are made of Brass, are
highly polished and are finished in n
skillful manner. They are very at
tractive and take the eye of every one
who sees them.
1t seems to us that nearly every
family in this county will want one,
and is certainly rare opportunity for
some smart and energetic party to pick
up quite nice little income during
the next few months. The Company
has agents in other counties who are
easily making from SIS 90 to So 90 per
day selling them, and we would re
commend parties in need of employ
ment to drop the OHIO SCALE

Tennessee and Virginia have both
arranged for the equitable adjustment
of their public debts, although the
terms are not alike as to both states.
Virginia has debt and unpaid interest
to the amount of $50, 900, 900. 1t is pro-
vided that 100000 shall be funded
into three per cent. bonds before JAM
/, 1880, and $4,000, 900 more each sue
ceeding six months until the whole is
refunded. The bill which has passed
the Tennessee Legislature provides for
payment of fifty cents on the dollar
and four per cent. interest, but it is
hampered by the condition that the
measure shall be submitted to the
people at the polls for ratification. In
the case of either state the terms of
settlement have received the approval
of northern and foreign bondholders.
Nothing will help the south so much
as the payment of her debts, and these
steps in that direction are among the
most encouraging signs of the times.
Minnesota is now about the only state
of the Union that maintains the unen-
viable distinction of rank .repudiator
of its public debts. With accrued in
terest the debt of Minnesota runs up
to nearly ten millions, and it will
neither pay nor listen to any measure
of compromise. There is less excuse
for this state than any other defaulting
state. 1t is free of debt, has great re-
sources, and large and growing pop
ulation.

The Bradford Era prints long
account of case Of inhuman wife
beating that occurred in Harrisburg, a
small village near Bradford, some two
weeks since. The brute is man
named Kneeland Coy, who of late has
been given to drink, and when under
the influence of liquor, frequently
abuses his family. About two weeks
ago, during one Of his sprees, after
abusing hi, wife with his tongue, he
brutally beat and kicked her, causing
her death some ten days after, and also
the death of her unborn child. The
Era says: 1.-THE woman in her suffer
ing realized that her earthly life was
driving to q close, and called to her
bedside her cruel and semi-maudlin.
husband. In weak, tremulous, but
withal earnest and kindly tone re-
quested as dying boon that he would
promise to care for the four motherless
and helpless little children, when she
was laid away in the grave. This the
man declared he would do 50 far as
he was able. The dying woman know
ing that he must needs neglect her
children if he continued in the eX-
cessive use of liquor, urged above all
other requests that he would consent
so discontinued the use of strong drink,
He replied that he could not make
such a promise. She repeated her re-
quest and pleaded in the most piteous
manner, but the brutal man sent the
woman to her grave with an indiffer-
ent answer. During all her moribund
conference with the hard-hearted man,
the sorrowing woman did not charge
her husband with being the cause of
her own death and that of her unborn
child, nor did she even refer to the
matter which must have wrung her
heart. 1t is said that when the vital
spark of heavenly flame' took its de-
parture the husband was absent, doubt
less in quest of drink. Wednesday
Mr.. Rogers apprised by telegram the
friends of Mrs. Coy, who reside some
where in Potter county, this State of
her death. Yesterday brother and
two sisters arrived in the city and have
taken charge of the corpses. They
disposed of most of the furniture,
which was scant enough, and intend
taking the children with them to their
bomein the place name d. The furni-
ture was owned personally by Mrs.
Coy. 1t is said that about two years
ago the Coys became estranged by the
bad conduct of Kneeland, and Mrs.
Coy returned to her friends. Coy
afterwards visited her home and made
many promises of doing better in the
future. Somewhat against the wishes
of her friends, Mrs. Coy again returned
to live with her husband. To-day the
remains of mother and child, together
with the four children, the eldest of
whom is eleven years and the youngest
five, will be taken by the dead wo-
mans relatives to Potter county,"

KINGSTON, N. Y. April l1.-Van
Gaasbeck, the notorious fire bug
recently sentenced to twenty years in
the Clinton State prison, was drunk
on the night of his last incendiarism.
William Mieckens, the owner of the
building burned, brings suit against
William Murphy. the owner of the
building in which Morgan Harris has
saloon. 1t is charged that Van
Gaasbeck procured his liquor from
Harris, and that under the Civil
Damage law Murphy, the landlord OF
Harris, is liable for damages. Plant
iff claims that, in view of the late
decision of the Court of Appeals in the
Middletown case, they cannot fail to
recover. Attorney-General Schoon-
maker and other leading lawyers OF

Side by side with the recovery of
her prosperity, France has kept in
view the recovery of her military posi-
ton. Out of a population of about
100000 about 704 900 men are in the
active army, $4,000 in the reserve,
5s2, 900 in the territorial army, and
625, 900 in the territorial reserve-mak-
ing total of about 2, 400, 900 men, all
of whom have received some amount of
military training. Besides these, there
are about 100000 men who, though
nominally belonging to the army and
liable to serve in certain contingencies,
have received no training. Against
these figures the Germans have to
show in the active army 40l 900, in
the reserve 100000, in the landwehr
$50, 900, and in the landsturm 1850, 600
making in all 2,5lI 900 men who
have received some amount Of military
training, besides 3,345, 900 men who
have received no training. In cavalry
the Germans have the advantage, the
figures for the two countries being 9l,-
600 men and 10000. In artillery the
numerical advantage is with the
French, the figures being, for France
2,442 guns, and for Germany 2,124
guns. The immense drain of labor
which the maintenance of this army
must impose upon France is in addi-
ton to, not in lieu of drain of money.
The army estimates now reach Sl42,-
SOC, 900 yearly.

"A negro with a skull like unto
wrought iron is the hero of the Will
mington, N. c., wharves. He was at
work unloading a cargo Of ice from a
vessel when an accident occurred.
The ice was received at a door OH the
top story of the ice house and lowered
to the ground floor-a distance of fifty
feet. A block weighing 400 pounds
was about to be lowered when it
slipped from the scales and decended
with fearful velocity. 1t struck the
crown of the negro's skull and was
shattered into fragments. The man
underneath the ice was somewhat sur
prised; indeed, his lower jawbone was
1amed, if not broken; but otherwise
he was not injured.

The little Prince Waldemar of the
German empire, whose death the tele-
graph has announced, was just II
years old, being born on the 10th of
February, 1868. He was entitled to
the rank and uniform of lieutenant
in the Imperial Guards, and was never
so happy as when allowed to mix with
the soldiers at Pottstam, not far from
the lovely little palace in which his
father, the Crown Prince, resided.
From extreme infancy he was q weak
and delicate child, unusually preco-
cious, like most infantile invalids, but
never giving promise of outgrowing
the heart disease from which he suf-
fered. Of the seven children he was
the fifth. His full name was Joachim
Frederick Ernest Waldemar, but the
,ast alone was used.
