Grant Coming

1t is the gossip here that ex-President
Grant will be in Albany by Wednesday or
Thursday of this week, and that he will make
no bones in rolling up his sleeves for Conk-
ling's success. A not impossible, though
hardly probable, contingency is that Grant
himself may be chosen to fill one of the va,
cancis. The general evidently copsi ers
that no is now a resident of New York state,
in proof IF which is quoted the dispatch he
sent from the City of Mexico, saying: 81
hope our senators will be returned" The use
of the word sour" indicates that the ex-
president claims his residence in the Empire

Promising Outlook for whoa !.

The Chicago Times prints a complete
report 10y telegraph of the condition OF
spring wheat in the Northwest. From
these it is learned that in Minnesota
and Dakota, although the season is
backward, farmers generally take Il
hopeful view of the situation, and that,
should the weather prove favorable
during the summer, the crop will be
satisfactory, if not prolific. Seeding has
been in progress for two or three weeks,
and in place where the plant is up it
looks bright and thrifty. The ground
is moist and in excellent condition, and
the acreage is largely increased. Ne
braSka reports are cheering, but those
from portions of Iowa, Wisconsin and
Illinois are the reverse Winter wheat
suffered from the severe weather, and
farm work is from three to six weeks
behind. Many farmers have abandoned
wheat and will put in other crops. In
some localities the floods have made
wheat raising impraCticable, by soak
ing the ground On the whole, however,
the outlook in the strictly spring wheat
districts of the far Northwest is very
encouraging,

Notwithstanding Gen. Buffers por-
trait has been published far and near
during the past 10 years, particularly
in the last four years, there were act
ually people present in the courtroom
Yesterday who did not know him, and
who asked: "Who is that little, old
gentleman speaking now" Gen. Butler
when not engaged in speaking sits back
in II chair, apparently Oblivious to all
that is being said or done on the other
side, and to all outward intent and
purpose is slumbering with all the com
plaCency of an owl. But let the counsel
on the other side for an instant divcrge
from the right path aud attempt to in
troduce matter foreign to the subject
under discussion he is all attention,
and instantly puts a stulnbling-hlOck
in the way Of his opponents, brings them
up with sharp turn that has the effect
af ruttling their peace Of mind; thus
Gen Buffers objection have been 50
well taken that the court has sustained
them When Gen. Butler desires to
read from any authority, or abstracts
from any book or memoranda, he walks
up to the Clerks desk, raises the volume
to his nose, literally places his eyes on
the printed line, runs across it until the
line is read and then elevatps the book
until the next succeeding line comes
within his range Of vision. All this
time he is reading out loud, but his
voice is smothered and driven back by
the book so that he is scarcely audible
10 or - feet away. When not doing
he chews a cigar, which he bites OFT in
inch pieces. As he is reputed to smoke
only first qualities cigars his chewing
habit must be quite an expensive one,

Miners, Faith I'm Clairyoyance.

A special despatch from Lebanon
Pa, says: Several months ago o char
coal burner at Indiantown Gap dream.
ed that at certain spot silver ore
would be found. The dream was re-
peated, he says, for five successive
nights. He searched for spot on the
mountains like that which he had seen
in his dreams, and found one. A clair
voyant was then told of the dreams,
and seance followed at midnight on
the mountain, when the new moon was
apparently over the spot. 1t is claimed
that strange noises were heard on that
night coming from the earth. A few
shovels of earth and gravel were thrown
up, and rock was taken out and eX-
amined. Veins of a bright mineral-like
substance could be traced i'll the stone
and when this news was spread through
the region it was wild with excitement.
The spot is on the hillside, only a shtrt
distance from the hut Of old Joe Raber,
who was IN ppEdeted by the "Blue-eyed
Six" to get tfe $4,000 insurance on his
life.
Ten hArd-working backwoodsmen
who believed the gilt.edged story Of the
clairvOyant, paid i'll $l0O each, organ
lied company, and resolved to begin
operations at once for ere. A force OF
ten men was put to work on a shaft
After a few days work, one of the
miners, named Kreiser, was killed by a
heavy bucket falling on his head while
working at the bottom of the shaft. AT
first it was supposed that the silver
would be found at the depth of of fifty
feet; then sixty was named as the limit,
then eighty, and finally ninety. When
the outlook at each limit was gloomy,
the company promptly made another
assessment and pushed the work ahead.
The shaft is now over eighty feet deep
and day and night shifts of men have
been increased to fifteen. They are
working under Thomns Job an eXpe-
rieuced ore miner from the anthracite
coal country. Nothing of any valUc has
v Il been found.

An Arrest That May Lead to the De

A telegram has been received at Nor

brother, the men who travelled in the
cars from Philadelphia to Washington
to the inauguration of President Gar
field, on the Sd of March, in company
with Edward Abbott, the suspected
murderer Of Samuel Clugston, have been
captured in New York City, and are
now confined in the Tombs. Upon that
occasion VIM. Jordan, paper manulac-
turer, of Valley Forge, pointed these
men out as thieves who had stolen a
watch from one Of the passengers, and
who was afterward suspected of endeav-
oring to murder him out OF revenge, but
entered the wrong house and attacked

On Sunday afternoon last Park Guard
Albeny heard two pistol shots in the
new foot-path on the Wissahickon, near
Philadelphia, and found woman
quietly reading book. Albeny asked
her who fired the shots, and she replied
that she had, volunteering the state
ment that she was practising to kill a
man. The guard took her to Sedgely,
where she told Captain Chasteau that
he had before him desperate woman.
"This practice" she remarked, is to
kill George w. Hayes, an engineer on
the Saturday Night. intend to shoot
him and then kill myself. Ny name is
Georgiana Price, and | was born in
Virginia. For two years | associated
with Hayes, and then we had dispute.
He had me arrested, and after lying in
the county prison, was tried and ac-
quilted. Then sued him for damages
for false arrest, and obtained verdict
for a paltry fifty dollars. Incensed at
this small sum, sent to him for enough
money to take me far away, stating
that if ! did not get it would kill him
and intend to do So" Captain Chas-
teau endeavOred to show her the folly
of her course and advised her to see IL
priest and receive consolation. She re-
piled : Your words fall like lead upon
my ear, and to pray would be a mockery;
have no relatives, and Hayes and
must die" She however, accepted a
a letter to Miss Annie Mcdowell :,
which she agreed to deliver. Mean
while, the charge of carrying conscaled
weapons and violating the rules of the
Park We're held III allegiance. On Mon
day she was rearrested at the instance
OF Hayes and brought into Court. Up
on seeing him she sprang at the man
like tigeress, and had it not been for
the interference Of the officers, would
doubtless have attempted to kill him.
She was finally secured, and Judge
Ludlow placed her under 81, 800 bail to
keep the peace, committing her in de-
fault of obtaining the necessary Secu
rity.

A Cannibal Eve

The West Chester Village Record says
all spring James Mendenhall, of New
Garden, has been missing his lambs,
and he was puzzled for long time tc
know what had killed them. Finally a
particular eve of his flock gave birth
to lamb and was placed in pen aside
from the other sheep. As the owner
was about to leave the enclosure he
was surprised to see the eve snap the
tail oft her lamb, and before he could
reach her she had killed and half eaten
her Offspring. That at once explained
the fate of the other seventeen lambs
which have disappeared this season.
