Is RIDDLEBERGER A CANDIDATE p
Forney's Sunday Chronicle publishes
the following special dispatch from the
White Sulphur Springs. Va: "Mr.
Riddleberger, who is now at his home
at Woodstock, Shenandoah county, says
there is not scintilla of truth in the
published reports from Harrisburg, Pa,
of conversation between Senator Don
Cameron and himself in reference to his
candidacy for Sergeant of Arms of the
Senate, or to any of the subject mem
toned as being spoken of in that inter-
view. He has not spoken to any sena-
tor or any senator to him on these SUBJ
jects, and he says, moreover, that the
interview reported to have been held
with himself and extensively published
in the northern papers this week are
pure and simple fabrications. The great
est political significance has been at
tached to these reports in Virginia, and
hence the propriety of giving him a fiat
denial" In spite of Mr.. Riddleberger's
denial, the facts, as known by many
politicians here, are against him. The
gentleman has not only importuned SEN
ators personally and written them nu-
merous letters, but he has his agents
now in Warrington, who are working
for him like beavers, and who let no
senator escape.

minutes than the city hands could possibly do,
in fifteen weeks.

STILL ANOTHER CoMEr.-Prof., Swift, Direc
tor Of the Warner Observatory. Rochester. N.
Y. has just verified the discovery OF another
comet, in the Constellation of Auriga, made
July 18th. by Prof. J. M Schaeberle, of Ann Ar
Dor, Mich. This new comet is apparently COM
ing directly toward the EARTH and, for teles-
copic comet. is very bright; indeed, 1t can
readily be seen with good opera glass. 1t Is
quite remarkable that 1t should be In just the
spot where the present large comet was
first seen by the naked eye in this latitude and
1t shows that the two bodies must have crossed
each others paths This makes the fourth
comet discovered within ten weeks, a circum-
stance heretofore unknown in history. Prof.
Schaeberle has duly filed his application for the
Warner prize of 5000, and as yet he is the only
claimant

STORM AND DARKNEss-The leaden-hued
skies on last Friday morning betokcned rain
and about IL o'clock it began to rain gently.
Then the clouds thick ened, and by o'clock 1t
became SO dark that it was necessary to light
the gas in the SPECTATOR Office, and about %
minutes past O'Clock the heavens seemed to
open. and the rain fell in torrents. We do not
remember to have seen it rain harder than it
did for about 20 minutes. The cutters soon be-
came filled to overlooking, and in very short
time the streets presented the appearance of

GRADUATION GRADATIoNs.-Judging from
the way in which the sweet girl graduates have
been arraying themselves heretofore, we feel
sure they have read the following probabilities
las to the future effect Of their commencement
costumes, but we will publ h it anyhow
An Ohio paper says that young lady who
graduated in a calico dress few years ago is
now married to a railroad superintendent who
has an income of half million year. This
may be taken as a basis for the regulation OF a
graduating dress hereafter Had she worn al
paca she might have done even better. and
caught the general manager of the road. On
the other hand had she doomed forth in a
white swiss, she might have captured the Pres
ident of the concern, with his untold millions,
while, had she worn silk, with point lace and
diamonds, she might have scooped in the con-
.ducter of passenger train, and had onyx
sstaircases and alabaster stairs to her house,
and cut the wives Of the officers of the road as
society altogether too thin forgher style. This
thing ought to be lesson to girl graduates
and a sharp warning to patronize their tailors
liberally.
