Laughter and Death.

There is no laughter in the natural world
OF breast or fish or bird, though no sad doubt
OF their futurity to them unfurled
Has dared to check the ninth compelling
shout.
The lion roars his solemn thunder out
To the sleepers woods. The eagle screams
her cry.
Even the lark must strain serious throat
To hurl his blest defiance at the sky,
Fear, anger, jealousy have found voice.
Loves pain or rapture the brute bosoms
swell.
Nature has symbols for her noble Joys,
Her nobIer sorrows. Who had dared foretell
That only man, by some sad mockery,
Should learn to laugh who learns that he must
die? PKOTEUS.

Inc FrenCh Governments war on RATS.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
The government has just entered into a
singular contracts, which is renewed every
year-namely, to destroy the rats in the abba
toirs. 1t is estimated that the damage done to
the buildings alone by these animals amounts
10 $1,000 francs year. Every kind of trap
or poison invented 10 get rid of these rats has
proved Intellectual. The only successful way
yet found is hunting them with rat terriers
Meat or other bait is placed where the rats
are sure to come, and at given time the holes
from which they issue are stopped up. The
dogs are then let loose. A fearful carnage en-
sures, in which the dogs are not always the
vctors, as these rats are very fierce. The con-
tractor gets sou per dead rat. 1t is said that
fine gloves are made from these skins. This
may have been true in the days of gloves with
one button, but fancy no rat is large enough
TO furnish a skin for ten or even four-but-
ton glove.

The Marriage of Sir sidney Wateriow.

The Marriage of Sir sidney Waterlow.
The marriage of Sir Sidney Waterlow and
Miss Margaret Hamilton was announced re-
Gently in cable dispatch from Paris. The
bridegroom is wealthy printer OF London,
formerly a member of Parliament, and in 1877
Lord Mayor of the metropolis. AS evidence
of his immense wealth it is mentioned that he
has e, 900 tenants in London, and that he once
spent $25o,ooo from his private purse for the
entertainment ofthe Shah of Persia. He passed
some time in Philadelphia as one of the Cen
tennial commissioners, and afterward came to
America to visit General Williams, Charles
Croker and other friends in California.
While approaching Mr.. Crocker's house he
met young woman with whom he fell in love
at first sight. The young woman proved to be
Miss Hamilton, the daughter of a widow in
comfortable circumstances, and at that time
guest at the Croker mansion. Miss Hamil-
ton was witty as we'll as handsome. She went
horseback riding with the baronet, and beat
him at billiards every time. Her charming
manners and other excellent qualities so I'M
pressed Sir Sidney that at dinner party short
ly after the first meeting he proposed marriage.
Miss Hamilton, accompanied by Mrs. Hearst,
of San Francisco, went to Europe and lived
for some months with various members OF the
Waterlow family, so that they might become
acquainted with her, and, journeying to Paris
the other day, married her millionaire lover.

Railroad Construction in 1881.

LEGATION says the year 1881 has been especially
notable for the enormous extent and rapidity
Of railway construction in the United States.
Track has been laid on $50 different lines and
aggregates S,242 miles, much the largest
mileage In any one year, the largest previous
mileage being 1879 IN 1871. Some returns
yet to be received will probably swell the
total to 5000 miles. The heaviest mileage
was in Texas, 1,4ll; Colorado had 493, Iowa

To Col. Geo. Bliss, New York City.
Statehood.

WASHINGTON, December 30.-The Star
this evening makes the following editorial
remarks, which are Of interest as showing
the drift Of Eastern public sentiment on the
question Of admitting the various Territories
as States just at present:
All the States and Territories of the Union
are increasing In population and wealth with
the single exception of Nevada. Even Alaska
is making some progress, while Nevada is at
q standstill and her condition and prospects
indicate a retrogression rather than pro-
erosion. Counting Chinese and Indians,
the census Of last year could only make out
a population Of G2,2s6. The silver mines,
which attracted nearly all the population,
white and Chinese, are played out. They
have been worked at an actual loss for sew
eral years past. The soil is sterile, unpro-
ductive, and Improbable; but Nevada has
been invested " 18th the rights. powers, and
privileges Of State and can not be deprived
Of them or any portion Of them without her
consent. Those who choose to remain as
citizens there, no matter how few they may
be, will never, of course, consent to strip
Nevada Of her sovereign rights. Congress
should learn lesson from the admission Of
Nevada, which Is confebedly nothing more
than a rotten borough politically, and hest
tate before making any more States for polit-
ical purposes.

THE rITz JOHN PORTER CASE.

General Grant Said to Have Changed Front.
New YORK, January 4.-The Telegram's
Washington correspondent says General
Grants remarkable change Of front In re-
gard to the case of Fitz John Porter has a
rather curious explanation, which may or
may not be wholly correct. 1t Is asserted
that If Grant throws his influence in favor Of
the restoration of Porter TO the retired list
of the army, the Democrats in Congress will
not make further objections to restoring
Grant to the army OH the retired list. Hith-
erto John A. Logan has been the leading OPP
ponent Of Porter. He is the principal advo-
cate Of the bill to put Grant on the retired
list. Il viii. be difficult if not impossible for
him to continue his opposition to Porter in
view of Grants change of front. The re-
Gently published opinion of John c. Roper,
of Boston, in his work OH General Pope's
campaign, IN favor Of Porter, has good deal
Of influence. There Is little reason to doubt
that Generals Grant and Porter will now be
placed on the army retired list.

THE cUrTEAU TRIAL.
Davidge Submits the Law Points Of the Pros
ecu9ion.

WASHINGTON, January 4.-Scoville said
he would like little time for the proper
preparaii ion Of this part Of the case. Dsvidge
said the prosecution had already prepared
their statement Of the law points upon
which they would rely, aud he would be
pleased to give the defense the benefit OF
them. He then read as follows:
First-The legal test Of responsibility
where insanity is set up as defense for al
legged crime Is whether the accused, at the
time Of committing the act alleged, knew
the difference between right and wrong In
respect to such act, and, In the present case,
# the accused at the time Of committing the
act alleged, knew the difference between
right and wrong IN respect to such act. That
If he knew what he was doing, and what he
was doing was contrary 10 the law Of the
land, he was responsible.
[Guiteau--I didn't, because my free agen-
CIV was destroyed
Second-lf the accused knew what he
was doing, or what he was doing was con-
trary to the law of the land, it constitu rs
no defense, even If it were true that when
he committed the act he really believed he
was thereby producing a public benefit or
carry ing out an inspiration Of Divine origin
or approval. Such belief would not afford
any excuse, nor would such excuse be af-
forded by the fact that in the commission Of
the act he was impelled by depraved moral
| al tha. Ia, anoui,aI ar Inv evil
passion or Indifference to moral obligation.
| [Guiteau-All of which is false.
Third-Insanity would, however, consti-
tute defense, if by reason of diseased
mind the accused at the time of committing
the act charged did not know what he was
doing, or that which he was doing was con-
trary to law.
[Guiteau-I had no choice in the matter.
| Fourth-The only evidence in the present
case tending to show an irresistible impulse
to commit the homicide is the claim Of the
accused that his free agercy was destroyed
| by his alleged conviction that the death of
the President was required for the good OF
the American people, and was divinely in
spired. But such conviction, even If II
really existed, could not afford any excuse
where the party knew what he was doing
and that 1t was contrary to law. No mere
delusion or error of judgment, not even a
fixed belief, that what was prohibited by law
was commanded and approved by Divine
authority GGuiteau-God's law Is higher
than mans lawl can exempt the accused
from responsibility FOR breaking the law
To have such effect the commission Of the
act charged must have been the result of al
insane delusion which was the product of q
desire, and Of such force as TO deprive the
accused of the degree of reason necessary &c
distinguish between right and wrong in re
spect to the act, so that at the time of com
mitting the act he either did not know wha
he was doing, or, if he did. that 1t wa'
wrong and contrary 10 the law of the land
At Scovilles suggestion the Court ther
adjourned until Saturday.

Business Failures for the Year.

NEW YORK, December 3i.-The total
number of business failures for the entire
year of 1881, throughout the United States,
IS stated by the mercantile agency of r. G.
Dun & Co., to be 5,532, involving liabilities
Of over ssl, 100000. The failures for the
year previous were only Abs, with liabilities
of 65,eOO,OOO. The increase, however, Is
regarded by the agency as small in proportion
to the enormous growth and volume Of trade,
and especially in proportion to the number Of
persons engaged in business. Compared
with 1878. the showing Is strongly to the ad-
vantage of the year just closed, the failures
In that year being 10, 400, and liabilities of
1924, 100000. In the year 1881 only one per-
son In every l4S engaged in business has
failed; while in 1880 the proportion was
one In every los; in 1878. one in every O..
The figures Of the year and the facts pre-
senled are interpreted by the agency as CON
firmatory Of the impression that the trade of
the country is prosperous and in safe con-
di.ion.

Bishop Sharp Interviewed.

New YORK, December 31.--A World re-
porter interviewed Bishop Sharp, Of Utah,
now here, who said:
have always understood that Garfield did
not desire to rip up the whole past, but was
resolved that polygamy should be suppressed
for the future. Arthur, to judge by his ut
terances, is determined to carry out the pro-
grsmme inaugurated by his predecessor.
Polygamy is very difficult problem TO
solve. can not conceive what the Govern
ment proposes to do with cases of polyga-
nous marriages contracted before or since
1867. Their abrogation would be an obvious
injustice, and would result in misery untold.
do not anticipate that Congress will act
rashly or unadvisedly, and our people ex-
press no fears of any such action. 1t would
be hard to say what would be the result
should the Government act indiscreetly. Our
people are peace-loving and abiding, but
they are not to be trodden upon with i'm
punity.
