And now comes the story tina Hartmann

the government will pardon his little irregu-
arities.
John Kelly wants to see the color of the
hair of the Democratic convention that will
refuse to receive a TammanyA delegation.
john is still on the war path.
The 4th inst. was the eleventh anniversa-
~ of the fall of Napoleon Ill. and the estab-
lishnlent of the Republic, hut no formal cele-
bration If the event was held in Paris.
The American Consul at Vera Cruz died
of the yellow fevor within a week after his
arrival at that port. No one has applied tor
the vacant position. There is nothing like
yellow fever to advance the cause of civil
service reform.
Fasse, the Greeaback candidate for State
Senator i'll Davis county. .owa, who said that
sPresident Garfield was a meaner man than
Guitteau," has been compelled to Wlthdra"
from the canvass owing to the extreme feeling
against him caused by the remark.
The story that DR.. Tanner fell down stairs
at Amsterdam and knocked out what few
brains he possesses proves to be a hoax. The
DR.. is still ON the fasting, if not Oh the pray
ing side of eternity. At least he has tele-
graphed 10 the jamestown, IN. W Journal,
thai he is alive and well.
General Edwin A. Merritt, late Collector at
the Port OF New York, sailed for Europe on
the Sd inst, to take his new position as nj
ted States Consul General in London. Judge
Robertson was among the party that saw him
oil. 1t is thus that the faithful and uncom-
planning are rewarded by the powers that be.
1t is a clear case OF reward of Merritt.
1t is said there will be little hope of ever
hearing from the Jeanette again unless she
escapes from her icy letters this year. tx
perience has demonstrated that the physical
covers of man are not equal to enduring three
successive Arctic winters. Science is paying
dearly for the little knowledge it gains of
the hyperboreaD regions.
General Grant was recently offered a recep-
ton at Asbury Park, n. }. In reply to the
offer the General said: 1t would at all times
afford me pleasure to meet the members OF
your Association, but at this time when the
country is in despair over the PROSTATE form
of the Chief Magistrate, whose life seems TO
hang by a single thread, l am not willing to
accept the compliment. This is wei said.
Sitting Bull and his 200 followers will be
treated as prisoners of war and not as pen
sioners of the government. Their place OF
confinement will be at t. Randall On the
Niobrara River above Yankton. 1t appears
the government proposes to treat Sitting Bull
as one who will bear watching, and not give
him an opportunity to stir up strife among
the Sioux by cunning counsel.
Drs. Reyburn, Woodward and Barnes have
withdrawn from the corps of surgeons in at
tendance upon the President. The cause
assigned is the wish of Mr.. Garfield in the
mater. DIR. Bliss AYERS that the best of feel
ing exists between himself and the with
drawing party. This may all be true, but an
incredulous and inquisitive public will wait
with some Impotence the revelation that will
develop the true inwardness of the cause OF
the three physicians leaving. 1t seems at
this distance that If their attendance upon
the President has been necessary in the past
that he can i'll afford to spare them at this
critical period in his case. Bliss remains in
charge and Drs. Agnew and Hamilton vii
alternately assist him.
The New York Worlds Long Branch
special reports a very strange story from Dr.
Bliss. The Doctor said Il have received a
letter to which a seal is attached and which
is signed by the secretary Of an unknown
society of Pennsylvania. 1t informs M that
if | do not cure the President the society will
shoot me-" 1t ca be believed that the Doc,
tor has received such a letter from some half
crazy person, but that a society of idiots can
be organized in any one place in the United
States that would indite and send the letter
in question, taxes the credulity of the be-
levers in the marvellous. If there be really
a society formed for the object specified in
the letter. the fool-klller would reap a rich
harvest somewhere in Pennsylvania.
The Stalwarts have ordered the holding Of
the republican convention in New York City
They have been, for SOM time looking for a
suitable place in which to hold it but it seems
they want a building with two wings in which
the respective factions may retire in case the
main room becomes too hot to hold them all,
In their dilemma the New York World Of
fers the following suggestion: SIN these
perplexing circumstances, and in view of the
many benefits conferred upon Tammany
Hall, by Republican legislatures during past
years, why should not Mr.. Kelly through
Judge P~ierrepont, who is a Tammany Hall
s~tockholder and an ex-Sachem, put the four
tsrnth street circus a. the disposal of Chair
