EVENTS AND COMMENTS.

Recent reports Of the Treasury de-
partment show that the reduction OF
our national debt is going on with
most gratifying progress. The amount
of the debt at the close Of the rebell-
ion, in 1865, was about $3,0OO,OOO,-
600. The reduction Of the debt up
to the LIST at July is $729,224,3l5,
equal to a payment of one fourth OF
it in fifteen years. Of course this
carries a corresponding decrease in
the annual payment Of interest, and
the rate of interest is also reduced
from six to four per cent. The
annual reduction of interest is not
less than sixty.one millions of dollars
Very interesting statement are also
made by other departments of the
government. From the Post Office
department we learn that the amount
realized from stamps, envelopes and
postal cards in the last year was $780,
539,O5O, being an increase over the
previous year of $97l, 1866. Postal
cards grow in popularity as is shown
by the fact that 22l, 100000 Of them
passed through the mails last year
The commissioner of Pensions gives
startling facts as to his operations in
putting an end to heavy swindling in
the pension business. Nearly fifteen

Of the late Duke of Portland Truth
says that he left personal property val
ued at more than f2,000,000, and that
though eccentric he was certainly q
model landowner. From the time of
his succession to the dukedom he de-
voted himself to the improvement of his
immense estates and properties in all re-
spects in better order could nowhere be
be found. Schools, churches, farm-build-
ings and colleges, he was ready to build
all, on the most approved principles,
wherever they were required; and his
draining, planting and roadmaking un-
dertakings were invariably on the most
liberal scale. He made Welbeck one of
the most perfect abodes conceivable. He
certainly was a practical benefactor to
the working classes, as for many years he
kept hundreds Of hands regularly en-
ployed at high wages. x'flQ ,

Wycheriey's Marriage.
iTemple Bari

Some little time after the appearance
of his last comedy he married, and it was
the comedy that brought about thet
event. One day, while he and a friend
were in book sellers shop at, Tunbridge
Wells, the Countess Of Drogheda. a
young, rich, handsome widow, came into
the shop and inquired for "The Plain
Dealer" "Madame," said the friend,
one Mr.. Fairbeard, pushing Wycherley
forward, "since you are for the Plain
Dealer, there he is for you" eyes"
added Wycherley, "this lady can bear
plain dealing, for she appears to be so
accomplished that what would be COM
pliments addressed to Others, would be
plain dealing addressed to her." "No,
truly, Sir,'' replied the Countess, not be-
hind in repartee, 81 am not without my
faults any more than the rest of my sex,
and yet | love plain dealing, and am
never more fond of it than when it tells
me of my faults" 'Then. Madame"
again interposed the friend, "you and
the Plain Dealer seem designed by heav-
en- for each other" Such is the story
told by Dennis. This was the commence
ment Of an acquaintance which ended in
matrmony.
Wycherley, on account OF another
Countess, was desirous that his marriage
should be kept secret; but it soon came
to the knowledge of the lady whom he
most desired to keep in ignorance, and
who soon succeeded in convincing the
King that, as the poet had contracted
marriage without taking royalty into his
confidence, it was an act Of contumacy
which must be punished by the with
drawal Of the royal favor. The union
was very unhappy one; the lady was
of violent temper and very jealous;
she took good care that her husband
should not appear at court, for
fear he might renew his old
liaison, and even when he paid a
visit to his favorite Bow-street tavern.
which stood opposite his house, he was
obliged to sit at the open window in Or
der that his cara sposa might be con-
WINGED that there was no lady with him.
Not without reason, we may well believe,
were these suspicious. When she died,
however, she left him all her fortune.
But this proved a curse instead Of a
blessing to him, for her family disputed
the will and won the day, while the un-
fortunate widower was consigned to
prison for the law expenses. In the Fleet
he remained seven years. He had Of
Tended the Kings mistress by his mar
riage, and the King by his attachment
to Buckingham, whose cause, in his evil
days, he defended with a boldness and
sincerity which shows that he was not
undeserying of the epithet of MANLY
Wycherley," which his contemporaries
bestowed upon him. ~,

A Pretty Tough story, But True
Neverthe less.

dayton (O) Democrat.3
We are informed of q very remarkable
case of friendship existing between COW
and a hog in this city. The facts as We
learn them are that lady residing On
North st. Clair street, and owner OF q
COW from which she sold milk, noticed
some six weeks since that the cow failed
in her accustomed supply of the lacteal
fluid, and the cause thereof she could not
comprehend. The COW was well fed and
cared for, still the COW gave no milk of
evenings when she regularly came home.
The lady spoke of the rather extraor-
dinary circumstances to some of her
neighbors and the matter was "talked
around" in the neighborhood. A few
days since a lady living on First street
nearly opposite the gas-works sent the
owner of the cow word that if she would
call the next day between 2and3 o'clock
at her house she would show her what
became Of the milk. Accordingly she
went there, and at the time indicated,
the COW was observed to enter a vacant
lot in the vicinity and was there met by
medium-sized black hog, sleek and fat.
The two fondled each other for a time,
when the COW stretched herself upon the
ground, whereupon the hog took one teat
after the other and sucked away until
her udder was emptied; then the COW got
up and went away. The lady said that
she had noticed this performance every
afternoon at almost precisely the same
hour for a month, and would have noti-
fled the owner Of the COW had she known
who it was She says they came there to
the vacant lot as if they understood each
other perfectly, and as if their meeting
was by appointment. 1t is certainly a
very extraordinary story, but it is
vouched for by some of the very best cit
izens of the city, who have witnessed the
meetings and subsequent performance.

A Relic from an Indians Rifle.
-.s..H Ithaca journal. .t'

Mr.. VIM. H. Bishop, of Fillmore, Utah
Territory, sends us a piece of paper,
which, in taking the mountings from an
old broken Indian gun, he found imbed-
ded under the breech-piece. The gun
had belonged to the Ute Indians. This
paper has on it, plainly and well written,
the following: "This rife was made by
Ebenezer Kellogg, in the city of Worces-
ter, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
July. 1852. God save Yankee Doodle
and all the rest of the American family"
This was accompanied with a pen draw
ing of an eagle and the American flag.
For twenty-seven years this piece Of
paper has been carried, doubtless, by In
dian hands over the prairies of the West.
1t would be interesting to know if Mr..
Kellogg, the manufacturer of this rife,
is still alive, and if not, if any one in
Worcester remembers or knows anything
of a gun-maker of that name in that city.
If he still survives, we shall be glad to
return to him this paper with his inscrip.
tion, which has turned up so strangely
after more than quarter of century.
