THE new Joan Of Arc appears in the
East. A wealthy lady, believed to be an
English woman, is busily engaged in Or
ganizing a strong band of insurgents in
Herzegovina. She is furnished with large
amounts Of money, and has made arrange
ments for obtsininaarms and ammunition.
The Austrian military have given orders
for her arrest and conveyance to Vienna if
possible.
especially Of those who ohave no direct in
terest in bucolic pursuits-have taken q
more intelligent part in promoting all the
varied interests of agriculture than Simon
P. Eby, esq. His essay on insectivorous
birds, recently read at Harrisburg, was
most highly commended by the best
critics who heard it, Our readers will be
glad, We know, that it finds permanent
place and wide circulation by publication

THERE is great deal of suggestiveness
in this item: /" An Indian came into San
Bernardino, Cal, few days since and
procured plow, the only means of carry
ing which was by packing it on his horse,
and he started off for his rancheria, some
eighty-five miles distant, with a piow, a
set of harness and pair of double-trees,
all packed on ais mustang pony When
Lo puts his hand to the plow, it does not
matter much whether be is uuder super
vision OF the war or interior department..
Asa granger nc will give neither much

SAYS the aesthetic young man who is
now taking in America All modern
cities are ugly. and New York is no ex-
ception to the rule. There are So many
advertisements about tho streets and
houses that all traces of beauty, if there
be any, are invisible. Besides, the con-
tinual hustle and confusion made 6y the
railroads SO u,,sets repose that it is almost
impossible to appreciate anything that is
seen. Philadelphia has Puritanical look
given to it by Long rows of red brick build
ings and white shutters, and is moro
pleasing to a stranger of taste than
New York. Washington can make some
pretension to architectural beauty in few
of its dwellings, Among the public men
he met in Washington were Hon. James
G. Blaine, Senat or Bayarl and Gen. Nc
Clellan. The frs. mentioned he thought
brilliant, the second charming. and the
third modest Ind exceedingly pleasant.
1T is melancholy fact and reflects dis
credit, not on The legislative but the judi
cal branch Of our government. that
there had to be in the House lively
skirmish over the Hunt retirement bill
The body of the Republican side supported
the measure and the body of the Demo
cratic side opposed it The general tenor
Of the remarks on all sides was that Hunt
had resolved to cling to ten thousand a
year, for which he had rendered no service
for the last thI ee years and could render
no service in the years to come, even to
the embarrassi nent of the government AID
The obstruction of justice and the laws.
This was put in various fQrcible forms,
which would have pricked the hide of a
political rhino ce ros. But for the public |
interests the scheme would not have re-
'eived single vote. The bill was passed,
However, 1877 to 80.
