A silly story by Mr.. Ben Hal.

WASHINGTON, March II. Senator Hill Of
Georgia, has caused TO be Published silly

logg planned what Mr.. Hill terms conspifa-
cy against him, and that Kellogg procured
Miss RAYMOND to bring sg1inst him the charge
Of seduction recently instituted by thst per.
sons counsel in the local courts. Ofcourse
there is no foundation for Mr.. Hill's foolish
charge. A few days ago Mr.. Hill was max
ing allegations to the effect that the corYes-
pondents Of republican newspapers, In eollu-
sion with Mr.. Kellogg, had Matched the so
called conspiracy, and that the Raymond sto-
ry was published At this time simply - .

that gentleman. This feeling Il
so deep-seated that during the progress Of the

Columbus, Ohio. March, II. The Repuh-
ican State Central Committee met to-day for
the purpose of issuing the call for the
Republican State Convention. Decidedly
strong interest in the forthcoming contest was
manifested by the presence Of representatives
from nearly every county in the State. The
feeling between Blaine and Sherman men II
very strong, and to-day's action was looked
upon as in a great measure deciding the rel
ativc strength Of the two candidates.
The result is viewed with apparent dis
comforture and chagrin by Sherman men,
and with corresponding rejoicing by
Blaine men. The only cities putting in a
claim for the convention were Cleveland
and Columbus. and this question was quickly
settled in favor Of the latter place by vote Of
Is to 3. The question Of date was shown by
a thorough and virulcnt discussion to be
matter Of more than passing importance.
Early to-day G. w. Moulton, Mr.. Sher-
mans brother-in-law, who Is managing the
Secretary's western campaign. came In and
at once Informed the Sherman men here that
the Secretary insisted upon an early conven-
tion-within two weeks at most. This had pre-
viously been the demand Of the Sherman
men, and they at once set out TO obtain an
early convention in open session. Different
dates were proposed by speakers from
various portions of the State, and amer
much discussion the committee went
into executive session. hot
and irritating discussion ensued, the dates
proposed being between March 25 and April
IS. A ballot resulted in fixing April 20 ~
the date Of the convention by q vote Of 10 to
| l--exceeding the widest expectations Of the
Blaine men. Secretary Sherman's support
ers are good deal surprised at the result a.
less than month ago they could count four
teen out Of twenty members Of the Commit
tee for Sherman.
The Secrctary's supporters say tonight
that the place and date were only Of little Inn
portance, but il cannot be denied that they
feel chagrined and disappointed. Interviews
with Shermans supporters from any part Of
the State show them very uncertain Of Mr..
Sherman's prospects in the Convention, and
they freely confess that the Blaine move
ment in Ohio is growing.

Take a Front Seat.

A religious journal pertinently
says: One popularity we have often
noticed among christian people. If
a concert or lecture is to be given,
front seats are at premium. No
body, on such an occasion, wants to
be poked off into q corner by the
door. But let it be a prayer meet
ing, instead of a concert, and it is
astonishing how modest everybody
becomes all at once. The further
back a seat the more desirable it
is, and if there is a bench within
two feet of the door it is always the
first filed. Why this should be so
is one of those profound problems
of human nature that we have not
succeeded in solving. A Pennsyl-
vania pastor-he is Presbyterian
has hit upon a device for over
coming this tendency that may be
worth imitation. A neat pocket
list of prayer meeting topics for the
year has been printed, and placed
in the hands of every member of
the church, and at frequent intervals
In the lists, IN conspicuous type, are
the words, "Take a front seat"
This. though possibly quite MS eff
fectHal, is a milder method than one
that was tried few years ago, in a
certain Baptist church. The pastor
had ropes tied across the entrance
to the pews, except those in front,
and people had to take a front seat
or climb over. A temporary refor-
nation was effected, but when the
ropes were removed there were
bsckslidings in that congregation.

Killed by a Dead Snake.

A English clergyman writes from
India: 1 will tell you very curl
Gus and melancholy incident that
happened on one occasion in
church where l was conducting the
service. The windows and doors
were, of course, wide-opened and
though one of these open doors a
cobra glided into the church. l
did not notice 1t myself, but sever
al of the congregation did, and were
not unreasonably much alarmed.
The beadle, a native, was fortunate
ly on the alert; and he managed to
procure a tugwar, with which he
cut off the creatures head before 1t
had time to do any mischief. Tran
guilty was restored and the service
proceeded to its close, when many
of the congregation went to look
at the dead snake as it lay headless
on the ground. Among them was
a man who, in his curiosity to ex-
anime theIreptile, put his foot on the
head and rolled it towards him;
when he instantly uttered a loud
exclamation and drew his foot away.
BY some means or another ne had
contrived to set in action the mus
cular apparatus attached to the. poi
son-fang, which had darted violently
forward and struck him on the foot.
All remedies were useless; in half
an hour the poor fellow was a corpse,
proving, with vengeance, the
awful virulence of the poison of the
cobra di cdpello.

A Monster Ship.

Boston Herald: A new steam
ship, when completed, will be larg-
est and finest merchant vessel In the
world, is now being built at Barrow
England, for the Inman line. She
will be ready for use in the spring
Of 1881, and will then begin making
regular trips between this port and
Liverpool. The City Of Rome was
recorded as the most appropriate
name which could be given to this
addition TO the Inman feet. Her
dimensions are to be as follows
Length of keel, $40 feet; length
over all, 500 feet; breadth of beam,
81 feet; depth Of hold, 38 feet 8
inches. and depth from top of deck
houses to keel, 50 feet.
Her measurement will be $500
tors, or over 1000 tons larger than
either the City of Berlin or the Ari-
zona, and 500 tons larger than the
Servia, the new Cunard steamship,
which will be completed this fall.
She will be over four-hftns the size
of the Great Eastern. The engines

The Glory of the Stars.

One might think the atmosphere
was made transparent with this de-
sign-to give man, in the heavenly
bodies, the perpetual presence OF
the sublime. Seen in the streets OF
cities, how great they arel If stars
should appear only one night in q
thousand years, how would men be-
lieve and adore; and preserve for
many generations the remembrance
of the City of God which had been
shown! But every night come out
these ENJOYS of beauty, and light
the universe with their admonishing
smile. The stars awaken
a certain reverence because, though
always present, they are inaccessi
BILE; but all natural objects make a
kindred impression, when the mind
is open to their influence. Nature
never wears a mean appearance.
Neither does the wisest man extort
her secret, and lose his curiosity by
finding out all her perfection. Ma
ture never became a toy to a wise
spirit. The flowers, the animals,
the mountains, reflected the wisdom
of his best hour as much as they
had delighted the simplicity Of his
CHILDHOOD Emerson.

Dying " ords.

Virginia (Nev. Enterprise: 1t is
probably natural that at the last
the scenes which have made
the strongest impressions in life
should be recalled by memory. The
old mountaineer, when he comes TO
die. with his last whisper says his
snow shoes are lost; with g. stage
driver, he is "on-a down grade and
cannot reach the brake;" the miner
cannot get to the air-pump; the
sailor says, "eight bells have sound
ed" and the gambler plays his last
trump. A little girl died here q
few years ago, and as her mother
held her wrist and noted the faint
ing and pickering pulse, smile
came to the wan face and the child
whispered: "There is no more des-
ert here, mamma, but all the world
is full of beautiful flowers" A mo
ment later the smile became trans
fixed. In an eastern city, not long
ago, Sister Of Charity was dying,
and at last from 3 stupor she opened
her eyes and said: at is strange;
every kind word that have spoken
IN life, every tear that / have shed,
has become living flower around
me, and they bring to my senses an
incense inefisble."

Depreciation in Real Estate.

Comptroller Gaines has compiled
the assessment returns Of the coun-
ties in the state, and the aggregate
valuation of property for 1879. His
report shows a decrease OF $l0,094,-
Alb as compared with the valuation
of 1878. The assessment for 1879
is S2I3, 116,6S0; that Of last year
was $223,2I2,153. The valuation
for 1879, of the grand divisions of
the state is as follows:
East Tennessee, $59,5SS.032.-
Middle Tennessee, sos, I82,677;
and West Tennessee, 500, 365,97l.
In 1873 the assessment was East
Tennessee, SOL ,052,o96; Middle
Tennessee, $IoO,S50,472; West
Tennessee, ST., 2SS, $3.50. The de-
crease in the assessment for 1879 as
compared with that of 1878 is, in

Living With Nature.

Robert Ingersoll says there Is
quiet about the life Of a farmer, and
and a hope of serene old age that
no business or profession can prom
Use. A professional man is doomed
sometimes to feel that his powers
are waning. He is doomed to see
younger and Stronger men pass him
in his race for life. He looks for
ward to an old age of intellectual
mediocrity. He will be last where
once he was first. But the farmer
goes, as it were, into partnership
with nature-he lives with trees
and aowers-he breathes the sweet
air of the fields. There is no con.
slant strain upon the mind. His
nights are filled with sleep and rest.
He watches his fiocks and herds as
they feed upon the green and billy
slopes. He hears the pleasant rain
fall upon the waving corn, and the
trees he planted in his youth rustic
above him as he plants others for
the children yet TO be.

A Leaf from the Cars Diary.

"Got up at z a. M, and ordered my
bath. Found four Gallons of viGriol
in it, and did not take it. Went to
breakfast. The Nihilists had placed
two torpedoes on the stairs, but /
did not step on them. The coffee
smelt SO strong of prussic acid that
l was afraid to drink it. Found a
scorpion in my left slipper, but luck
lily, shook it out before putting it on.
Just before stepping into my car
riage to go for my morning drive it
was blown into the air, killing the
coachman and the horses instantly.
1 did not drive. Took light lunch
of herm etically sealed American
canned goods. They can't fool me
there. Found poisoned dagger in
my favorite chair, with the point
sticking out. Did not sit down on
it. Had dinner at p. m, and made
Baron Laischonnowoski taste every
dish. He died before the soup was
cleared away. Consumed some Bal
timore oysters and some London
stout that l have had locked up for
five years. Went to the theater and
was shot at three times in the first
act. Had the entire audience hanged.
Went home to bed and slept all
night on the roof of the palace.

Look Out for Leprosy.

Globe Democrat: The medical
journals see danger ahead from lep-
rosy which has been introduced to
this country. Quite number of IN
mistakable cases have been reported
from the Southern States, andIthe dis
ease is disagreeably common among
the Chinese in California. On the
coast of New Brunswick there are
several colonies of lepers. Physi-
Clans who have good opportuni-
ties of investigating the character
of the disease are of the opinion
that it is contagious in the full
sense of the term. 1t is nearly
sure to spread to the same extent
that leprous subjects freely associate
with uncontaminated persons. Some
saiubrious little island in the Gulf
of Mexico ought to be set apart for
these unfortunate people, to which
every new case of leprosy should
be promptly transported. Immedi
ate and complete isolation has al
ways, from the most ancient peri
DDS, been held to be the only safe
way of treating the loathsome com

be eight boilers, heated by forty
eight furnaces, and the vessel can
be propelled at the rate of ISL knots
an hour. She will carry four large
niasts and three smoke tunnels. A
large spread of canvas can be set,
which will enable the steamship to
make good time, If necessary, with
out the aid of the engines.
The saloon and state rooms will
be placed amidships. and will con
tain every facility for comfort and
luxury. All the latest improve
ments are to be added, and the en-
tire cabin will be splendidly fur
nished and upholstered. There will
be 275 revolving chairs at the saloon
tables, and the state-rooms will east
ly accommodate 800 first class pass
engers. A drawing-room, which
can be occupied by 100 ladies at
once, will be placed on the deck,
Immediately over the saloon. The
smoking-room will be above the
drawing room,and will accommodate
100 smokers at once. The saloon
will contain six bath rooms. There
will be room on board for almost
any number of steerage passengers.
and space for an enormous quantity
of freight in the hold.
The city of Rome is to be built of
steel, with double bottom and eleven
bulkheads. Two longitudinal bulk
heads are to be run through the en-
gines' and boilers space. These
will greatly decrease the danger of
the vessel sinking in case of col
lision. The top decks are to be Of
the best teak. No expense is to
be spared to make this magnificent

She will have the highest classified
