Rejoicing Among the Sal ats.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, describing the scene in
the Senate after the debate between Mr..
Hill and little Malone, of Virginia,
says:
when General Malone concluded he
walked back to his Republican seat.
Amid the applause which again broke
forth from the galleries he was surround
ed by the Republican Senators, who ties
tilted in the most extravagant demon
STATIONS their joy over the new recruit
who had come into their camp. Senator
Conkling in his grand way said: Allow
me to congratulate you. l have never
had the pleasure of meeting you before,
or shaking hands with you. You skinned
that Fman from the word CO. General
Logan said, You have covered yourself
with moae glory and fame in the short
time you have been here than any other
Senator on the floor General Malone
beamed all over, and did not seem to no.
tice that the Democrats all remained in
their seats, looking at the scene with
curious but with dignified silence.
General Malone presently turned around
to Mr.. Gorham, who, common rumOr
says, is to come back to the position of
Secretary of the Senate through General
Mahone's vote, and with twinkle IN his
eye, said George, didn't tell them how

England has few friends in Europe

England has few friends in Europe
Just now, and enemies without number.
The Portuguese are the latest nation to
range themselves against the English.
The anti English feeling in that country
is so strong and bitter that the Ministry
was Kissed the other day for allowing
Great Britain to march her troops for
operations against the Beers through the
Portuguese colony of Delagoa. A riot
ensued in consequence of the granting
of this privilege, in which number OF
persons were injured before the mob
could be dispersed. When some Eng
lish men-of-war appeared in the Tagus,
the popular feeling became SO excited
that great fears were entertained of an
attack by the populace on the British
vessels

The New Workers are disguised to find
by the death statistics that their city is,
all things considered, the most unhealthy
city in the Union, and one of the most
unhealthy in the world. The only Ameri'
can city that surpassed New York
in 1879 was New Orleans, and the reason
for the latter city having the fatal supe-
riority was because of yellow fever.
This frightful mortality is attributed to
municipal incapacitY and corruption
through which the money appropriated
for street cleaning and sanitary ends is
wasted or stolen.

Democracy in Italy.

The Italian correspondent of the Re
p,t5lique FrGncaise gives an interesting
account of the present condition of
Democratic opinion in Italy The infu-
ence of Mazzini is on the wane, but it is
still strongly felt There are many hun
dreds of Republican clubs throughout
the land, and these owe their existence
and organization mainly to him. A
short time ago, however, Gariba)di es-
tablished a Democratic League, which
succeeded in embracing all these clubs,
and thus gave an impetus to Republican
ism which it has never before pos
sessed. For some time the MaZzinians,
who, like their master, are I'M
compromising opponents of the ex-
listing state of things, struggled
hard to gain the upper hand in the
League; but victory did not declare on
their side, the Garibaldian Opportunists
being numerically the strongest. A new
party is now, therefore, at work, which
has for its object to secure the rights OF
the people and to establish pure De
mocracy; but it is contented for the
present to work by constitutional forms,
and to wait for better days. The Miz-
zinians, however, and the Socialists are
very strong, and will constantly be
urging their less ardent brethren to more
emphatic modes of action. For the
present the League will content itself
with the demand for universal suffrage.

Henry Clay's favorite recreation for
many years was game of whist, to
which at one time he was passionately
addicted-not for the stakes, but for the
distraction and excitement of the game.
Mr.. Winthrop says that there is tradi-
ton that while Clay was visiting Boston
in 1918. and lodging at the old Exchange
Coffee House, in Congress street, SER
want rushed into the parlor in which he
was at the whist table with a few
gentlemen of the old school, and
announced that the hotel was on
fire. :."Oh, there will be time
enough, think" cried Mr. Clay, ITO
finish our game" and finish it they did
before the hotel was burned to the
ground. A similar tradition was current
in Washington at a later period that,
while Mr.. Clay was Speaker, he and his
friends had passed a whole night at
cards, and was still going on with their
games when the hour was close at hand
for the opening of the morning session
of Congress. "Wait a few minutes,
gentlemen, said Mr.. Clay, land 1 will
wash my face and hands and run down
to the House and call John Taylor to the
chair, and then l will come back and we
will have another rubber"

At Kanturk, county Cork, Ireland,
the police the other day unsarthed a
hundred pixies. There was intense ex-
element in consequence, and the gov
eminent talked very glibly of Fenian
plots. although the pixies were very rusty,
and even when new could have been of
very little service. Unfortunately for a
sensation, however, facts have just been
brought out showing that these pixies
were buried where they were dug up in
1898, and that the government had really
discovered a mares nest. If the Irish of
to-day rise against England they are
likely to fight with something better than
rusty pixies.

An Australian correspondent furnishes
interesting proof of the provident and
far seeing instinct of bees. Last year
the drought in New South Wales was Of
long duration, and the denizens of the
apiaries suffered much from it. This
year the bees have made provision
against a similar emergency by filling q
large number of the external cells in
every hive with pure water, instead of
honey. 1t is believed that the instinct
of the insects leads them to anticipate a
hot summer and to provide against it.
