Colonel Dwight not Dead.

1t is new alleged by an officer of one
of the Now York lie insurance compa-
MES that Col. Walton Dwight, who it
will be remembered, had policies on
his life to the amount of s255, 900, is
still alive. Suspicious of this were
aroused by the fact that the day before
his alleged death, Col. Dwight had
his full, flowing beard shaved off, and
his long hair cut close, and this SO al
tered his appearance that he was
scarcely recognizable, even by his
most intimate friends. The theory is
that this WAS done to give him the ap-
pearance of the dead man, whose body
had already been procured. Other cir
culnstances which strengthen the sus
picion are that when Spaulding, the
proprietor of thn hotel with which
Dwight's cottage is connected, arrived
few seconds after his death was an
nounced by Mr.. Hull, Dwight's attor-
ney, he found the body cold. The in
surance man says that the action of
the Coroner, in refusing to allow GER
tain questions to be asked, and the
course of the Surrogate, in so speedily
admitting the will to probate, increased
the suspicion, as both these officials, he
says. received bequests by the will
the Coroner $1,000 and the Surrogate
$4,000. The only person with Dwight
the night of his supposed death was
his attorney. Mr.. Hull, who, according
to the insurance man, is known as the
inventor of the Cardiff giatt. The in.
surance man says his company will
fight the claim in the courts to the last.

HHaye u Dip ?"

A correspondent of the Troy Times,
at present travelling in Arkansas, gives
the following sketch of snuff dipping
as still practiced in that State: ! was
about to go, without even making in
tended inquiries, when our company
was suddenly increased by the incoming
of two other women, one Of middle age,
the other evidently yet in her teens
Some short ceremonial chat ensued,
when my hostess with tho "yuralgy"
laid aside her pipe, and, diving INTO a
huge black outside pocket or reticule at
her side, fished out tin mustard box
with q hole in the top, through which
a dirty-looking stick protruded. She
first took off the top, then she sighed,
then she said: "'Pears to me, Liza, dey
don't make no snuff desc days; then
she put the end of the stick in her
mouth and gummed it awhile; then
she soused it about in the box until it
was well coated with snuff; then she
rubbed it about her toothless jaws and
passed it to Liza with the interrogatory
sentence, "Have dip'' Liza went
through the same performance aud
passed it to Tennessee with "Have a
dip ?" She defiled her sweet lips with
the vile stuff and passed it to Missouri,
not forgetting to say, "Have dip ?"
This stately maiden INDUCED most
plenteously, and turning on me an in
expressibly pleading look, she passed
over the box and gently queried, "Haye

THRIFTY WIVES.
BY MRS. M. A. K1DDRR.

Pretty wives make petted darlings,
Stylish wivos make pictures grand.
Learned wives are very useful
When ones books are not at hand,
But, were ! q man, and seeking
One my better half to be.
would choose thrifty maiden
Full Of love and cOnstancy.
Thrifty wives may still have beauty,
Learning, style and many gift;
While such graces shine more fully
Aided by the hand Of Thrift.
Thrifty wives mako blessed mothers,
As the boys and girls we'll know,
Though they may.have left the homestead
Many and many year ago.
Thrifty wives have saved mems fortunes,
Leaking out as yon stream rolls
Saved their name and saved their credit
Aye and sometimes saved their souls
Patching up the broken places.
Stemming debts relentless tide.
Thus by charming tact and courage,
They have kept the wolf outside!
She should have loving spirit.
Tender eyes that sweetly shire
On her husband and her children,
This ideal wife Of mine!
And whene' or a guest should enter,
And our household curtain lift,
He should say to her my darling,

The Silver King Mime.

The Arizona Sentinel" Of May l7th
says, many eminent visitors have late
ly been admitted to the Silver King
Mine and haze thoroughly examined it
from top to bottom, which is now 225
feet below the point of discovery. The
approach of the Southern Pacific R. r.
has now rendered practicable a change
of system in the working of the mine, a
large proportion of the ores will proba-
bly, be reduced at the mine, though
some concentrations will doubtless still
be forwarded to San Francisco. We are
informed that the large amount of
machinery needed for this change, and
in fact for enlarging the whole plant will
soon be forwarded For all this more
space was required for floor; the dump
contained material too valuable for
foundation, enough of this dump has
now been concentrated to give ample
room for new works and We shall with
out doubt soon see returns from this
property far exceeding the already mag.
nifcent outcome.

The President UncOmprOmising-

A correspondent from Washington to
the New York Tribune" says, very
curious accident has occurred in con-
nection with the fix in which the DEM
ocrats find themselves. 1t seems that
some of the Democrats have lctn
seeking to make one or two leading
Republicans believe that the only way
out OF the present deadlock will be
through compromise i'll which the
Republicans must yield some of the
positions taken by the President. This
idea appears to have been pressed with
great vigor by friends of Senator Thur
man, who are anxious to get their CAN
didate for the Presidency out of the
awkward and damaging situation in
which his fierce advocacy Of extreme
measures has placed him. These gen.
tlemen seem to have impressed one or
two Republicans with the idea that the
Democratic position is one that may
well cause alarm, and that the easiest
way out of the trouble will be for the
Republicans to yield enough to induce
the Democrats to make appropriations
ana so secure quiet for the country.
With this idea the White House was
Carefally accommodated to see II the
President could not he made to see as
much trouble in the situation as those
who presented the case to him lie
very promptly said he did not see why
Republicans need mourn because a
Democratic Congress had killed the
Democratic party, and that at any rate
he would not change his course in the
least in order to make back down for
the Democrats any, easier; sooner or
later t!ey would be obliged to accept
the situation and surrender. Those
who are acquainted with this attempt
at q compromise and the result, are
well satisfied TO find that the trmness
of the President is quite sufficient to
save the party from a blunder which
want of courage in one or two Congress
men came near precipitating.

A FALL,

As Mr.. Il. Y. Sutton of New Castle
Hundred, was about feeding his stock
on Sunday afternoon, his foot slipped
through a hole in the barn floor, when
he fell to the ground, a distance of
some II or IA feet, and his side strik-
ing on a joice he was so badly injured
that he had to be carried to his house,
and medical attendance sent for. On
examination it was found that no bones
had been broken, though he was hurt
internally AID suffered very much. He
was batter however on Monday, and is
now in fair way of being all right in
a day or two.

APrssent from England.

On Monday Francis Vincent re-
ceived from the Hon. Thomas Bailey
Potter, (member of parliament from
Rochdale, and Secre tary Of the celebra-
ted London Golden Club) present ofa
unique publication. It is entitled the
Golden Supplement to Lords and
Commons. A Drawing room Record,
Political Literary Social and Fashion
able of Lords, Commons and their Con.
neetions." The work has very large
pages. The title page is printed in
gold. 1t is intended alone to circulate
among the members Of the Royal Fam
lily, the House of Peers, and the House
of Commons. 1t contains thespeeches Of
members of parliament wherever de-
livered and the principal matters in re-
lation to the government such as sta
tistics, etc. The rest of the journal is
devoted to movements of the Royal
Families of England, and Europe and
the English aristocracy as it states fqr
circulation only ir the drawing rooms.
The following is some OF the extracts
from it, from whole pages of similar
notices, as specimens Of an unique
Journalism, different from our own. On
Wednesday, the Queen and Princess
Beatrice drove to Palianzo and visited
the church of La Madona della Cam
paigna, and on Saturday drove to Tut
a. Her majesty has also driven to the
Lakes of Orta and Margozzo. (The
Queen was then in Italy.) Bouquets
were received by Princess Beatrice from
Prince Pier Pierre Tonbetzkoi, Count
Borromeo, &c.
Every movement ef the Queen and
the aristocracy is thus chronicled.
The Duke of Cambridge yesterday
terminated his visit to the Prince and
Princess Of Wales.
The King and Queen Of Italy accom-
panied the Queen and Princess Beotrice
to the station and took leave of her
Majesty who returned by special train
TO Arma, and reached Baveno at 7.3O
p. m. And SO on, all the movements
of the royal families and aristocracy
are noted.
The marriage and engagement OF
marriage of the aristocracy are also
chronicled in this style.
The marriage of Lord de Clifford,
twenty. fourth baron ,aAd Hilda, young
est daughter of the late Charles Bal
four, Esq, Of the East Hampstead, Berk,
shire, was celebrated on the 10Th inst,
in the Parish Church of East Hamp
stead by special license from the Arch,
bishop of Canterbury.
A marriage is arranged and will
shortly take place between Mr.. Charles
Woodbine Parrish, son Of Sir. Wood
bine Parrish r. L. C. N. and Miss Fran
els Montgomerie Bayley, youngest
daughter of Rear Admiral Bayley.
We eneed not state that this paper was
sent to Mr.. Vincent by Mr.. Potter,
(who is one Of the most advanced re-
form statesman of Great Britain, and
who stands in the shoes of Mr.. Cobden)
on account of his drawing-room intelli'
gence, but in relation to the speeches
delivered by several of the Lords and
Commons in Parliament exponent OF
the principal and policy of the British
Empire.
