MISCELLANEOUS.

One of the most striking objects
seen upon approaching Paris is the
dome of the Hotel des Invalides which
glows in the sunshine like ball of
gold. During Napoleon's reign. when
it was reported TO him that an ominous
discomfort prevailed among the Paris
ians. Co. said the Emperor, land
Gid the dome of the Invalides." 1t was
done and the people forgot the tyranny
of the Government in their admiration
for the new wonder The gilded dome
is monument to Napolson's knowledge
of French character.
The modesty and honesty of Japa-
nese beggars are worthy the imitation
of their profession all the world over.
To save themselves the trouble of an
swering the calls of mendicants, the
Shopkeepers of Japan hang copper coins
by strings on nails in front of their shops
and when beggar comes that way he
takes one, and only one. He never
abuses the merchants generosity by
taking two or more coins, nor by enter
ing the shop to solicit larger amount
than that hung on the nail.
An elephant is used in a spectacular
play in Philadelphia. He is kept in a
stable several blocks away and taken
to the theater every evening at the
proper point in the piece. One after
noon he took it into his head that the
time had come to perform. Throwing
his keeper aside, he burst into the
street, overturned wagon and several
street stands on his way to the theater,
smashed door and took his usual place
on the stage. The absence of lights
and audience seemed to convince him
that he had made mistake and he suf-
fered himself to be led back to the stable.
An Indian thief was turned over to
the chief of his tribe, at San Diego, Cal,
and by him sentenced to receive hun
dred lashes. The culprit was q big,
powerful fellow, but he submitted
quietly to being tied to the side of
high wagon, with his legs and arms ex-
tended and his back barred. A stalwart
Indian struck the blows with all his
might, using a leather lariat and max
ing the blood flow at every stroke. The
victim endured the dreadful torture in
grim silence for while and then broke
out into agonized screams. If he had
remained silent to the end the chief
would have restored him to the tribe;
but, as he "cried like a coward baby"
he was afteward driven out of the neigh
borhood.

a Virginia Tragedy.

RICHMOND, Va, November 6.
LOUDON COUNTY, in this State, has been the
scene of one of the bloodiest tragedies known
in Virginia. 1t seems that yesterday Merritt
Mott, farmer in Loudon County, had a quar-
rel with his sister-in-law. 1t is thought that he
had previously quarreled with his wife, and
that the sister-in-law took her part, He was
man of strong temper, and, turning from his
sister-in-law, he went into the yard, and, get
ting large knife used for cutting corn, came
back and assaulted her with it. She ran into
the yard and he pursued her and stabbed her
until he thought she was dead. After this he
returned to the house, and, taking his gun, dis
charged it in the air and coolly reloaded it.
He then went to the spot where the woman
lay, and, putting the muzzle of the gun under
his chin, fired, the whole load passing through
his mouth, tearing out the tongue and lodg-
ing in his head. He fell to the ground, but
while in the throes of death he saw some sign
of returning life in the woman. Dragging
himself to where she lay, and reaching for
ward, he seized a big stone and dealt her a
blow in the face. AS he was raising himself
to repeat the blow his wife entered the yard,
and, taking in the situation at a glance, she
herself seized another large stone, aud, stand
ing over the PROSTATE form of her husband,
put an end to his struggle. Her sister died in
afew minutes after.

The Comforting GOOber.

That we are nation of peanut eaters
may be inferred from general observa-
ton; or it can be proved by statistics.
We presume it is possible to procure
our favOrite legume in small quanti-
ties and of inferior quality in the mar
kets of the old world; but only in our
new and surging civilization does it at
tain that perfection which is expected
and appreciated by the educated palate
of true American. Our population is
increasing with great rapidity and so
likewise is the peanut crop. A COM
paris0n of figures upon this point is
very encouraging. In 1876 the total
crop from the gOOber-producing States
Tennessee, Virginia and North Caro-
lina-amounted TO less than S00,0
bushels. The following year this yield
was increased nearly eighty per cent,
but dropped to less than its old average
in the year succeeding. In 1879 it
was 100000 bushels, while the total
consumption of peanuts in the United
States for the year ending September
80, 1880, was 1,727, 900 bushels and the
stock on hand is 23S.O00 bushels, which
is the measure of production of 1880.
The crop for the year ending September
2, 1881, is estimated at about 100000
bushels and the few weeks longer in
which the political campaign will con-
tinue will furnish occasion which we
doubt not will be well improved for en-
couraging activity in the peanut trade.
The democratic character of our Gov
eminent can be largely accounted for
by the prevalent taste for the peanut
1t is democratic edible. 1t is in the
mouths of the rich and the poor, the
lofty and the humble, and wherever
two or three are gathered together with
their pockets distended by the crisp and
fragrant pods we may be reasonably
sure that they are citizens of one coun-
try and that country this great and
glorious land of the United States. At
the variety theater, at the circus and
the agricultural fair, in offices and upon
street corners; at the tireside and by
the work bench the suggestive little
bag is seen and it is frequently smug-
gled into schools and prayer meetings.
This shows that in popular estimation
it goes side by side with all other inter-
ests and is held to conflict with none
Its associations are as wholesome and
cheering as they are pervasive. Success

Died of Hunger.

SARAH DEMPSEY, aged Ill years, probably
the oldest woman in the State of New York
was recently found dead in bed in her hut on
the Ulster Mountains, near Ellenville. She
mad died from starvation and weakness, and
her house was found in a terrible condition.
No food of any kind was in the house. The
appearance of the corpse Indicated that the
old lady had, from lack of proper food, become
unable to get out of her bed, and had lain
there until she had died of starvation. Mrs
Dempsey had lived in this hut, miles from an
1abitation, for many years. She had beei
solitary in her habits ever since she was aban
loned by young man with whom she eiope'
rom school when girl Beside the deac
voman's bed was found a piece of paper. OF

Two of the witnesses for the defense
in the Morey Chinese letter case in New
York have been arrested for perjury and
lodged in the TOmbs. One OF them is Sam
uel L. Morey, who swore that he had an
uncle named H. L. Morey; the other,
James O'Brien, alias Robert Lindsey,
who swore that he knew II. l.. Morey and
saw and read the alleged Garfield letter while
I'm his possession. 1t is said both subse-
quently confessed that they had been hired
TO testify as they did, the former by John
SanbOrn, a lawyer, and Al.Clark, apOOl sell
er, OF Lawrence, Mass; the latter by VIM.
NJ. Price, lawyer of Cumberland, Nd,
and Democratic candidate for Presidential
Elector. Both say they were instructed in
the roles they were to play and rehearsed
the testimony they were to give in court.
Morey received pay for his expenses from the
funds of the National Democratic Commit
tee. The proprietors Of the Truth, the law
yers for the defense and the members of the
Democratic Committee all deny any partici-
patton in or knowledge of the subornation
OF the two witnesses, and say they were or
dered subpgnaed in good faith as COM
petent and truthful witnesses. Sanborn and
Clark, of Lawrence, Mass, both make affi
darits denying the essential parts of Morey's
statement

A baby carriage in the hall.
The handsomest piece of furniture
that any house can boast, always max
ing an honorable exception in favor of
the cradle.
That baby carriage means home.
Without it, only place to stay in.
1t means g dear dimpled darling''-
that makes sunshine all the time-when
it hasn't got the collie.
1t means happy mother, whose life
is filed with all tender care, all sweet

1t means father who holds his head

nifty that any man may know.

To father it is ''my boy"
The baby carriage in the hall means
all the wealth of rosy hours as mother

''Hush, my dear, be still and slumber,
Holy angels guard thy bed"
When all the time she is the angel
that God appointed to guard it, as none

dignity, Well, Governor, where shall

And although he only calls him
" Governor" the mothers heart says
and the father wouldn't deny it were
she to put it in words--that more likely
it will be President, in that dim, beau

Her choice, though, would be that he
should be good man and a happy one.
Between them both they parcel out

THE National Democratic Committee
have felt called upon to make an official
statement in reference TO their connection
with the alleged forged Garfield Chinese let
ter. They say the Committee had no know
ledge Of the existence of such letter until the
night before its publication in Truth, and
that no member of the Committee saw said
letter prior TO its publication or was in any
way concerned therein. That subsequent to
its publication and after inspection Of the
original, being convinced that it was
in Gen. Garield's handwriting, the
Committee ordered from Truth
a number of electrotype fac-similes of said
letter, and no authoritative denial Of its gen.
uineness having yet been made, such cleo
trotype plates were sent out for publication.
That their only connection with the Philip
trial has been TO pay the expenses of two
witnesses who were alleged to be able to es-
tablish the identity of Morey and the exist
ence Of the letter, and that if the letter has
been forged or any fraud committed in refer
-ence thereto, or any false evidence been
given, it has been done without the knowl-
edge, consent or privity of the Committee,
or any member thereof

BALTIMORE is at present the CEN
trial point Of interest in Ireland in connec-

colt, Lord Erne's agent, has been unable
TO harvest his crops on account Of the local
peasantry refusing to work for him. The
Northern Orangemen thereupon determined
to send a force Of laborers to help him out,
and the prospects OF a collision are so great
that the Government has dispatched some
400 troops to the scene to preserve the peace.
