gave a grand dinner party at his official
residence In Downing street. Eighteen
gentlemen, selected for the most part from
the more advanced section OF Mr.. Glad
stones followers in the House OF Commons,
sat down to table. This the st. James Ga
zette describes as "a schocking outrage"
Mrs. Senator Pendleton has returned to
her Ohio home, where she is much beloved
by the poor members of the congregation
that worship in the little church on the hill
near the Senator's homestead. Last Christ
mas all the poor of the parish were surprised
by a present of a turkey delivered by the
grocer. No note of explanation accom-
panied the gift, but the recipients, from
long habit, knew where such attentions to
them came from.
The State line between New York and
Pennsylvania, resurveyed two years ago
under the direction Of the Board of Regents,
and since then designated by Temporary tab
lets, is now being permanently marked OY
rough granite posts about five feet in length.
Upon a smooth surface at the top of every
post is engraved "Pa. IL n. Y" At the
lower point, which will probably be under
ground when the post is set, is the letter
"W."
1t is announced that General Sherman,
who, before he started on his official trip to
the Western army posts, declared himself
in favor of the compulsory retirement bill,
has changed his mind since he went among
the old officers In the service. and is now
opposed to the measure. Young Officers
who looked upon this measure as the first
step toward general promotion are greatly
Disguised at the sudden change in their
Commanders opinions.
Among all the English tributes to Elmer
son there is none fiEer than that contained
in these words from Tyndall's recent ad-
dress to the students of London University:
''The works of two men, neither OF them
imbued with the spirit of modern science,
have placed me here to-day. These men
are the English Carlyle and the American
Emerson. They told me what to do in
way that caused me to do it, and all my
consequent intellectual action is to be
traced to this purely moral source"
"It is only right" said Sergeant Ballan-
tine in his new memoirs, "while mentioning
the celebrities connected with the Old
Bailey, that should allude to one other per-
sonage. Rarely met with, upon festive oc-
casions, he was, nevertheless, accustomed to
present himself after dinner on the last day
of the session. He was decently dressed,
quiet looking man. Upon his appearance
he was presented with glass OF wine This
he drank to he health OF his patrons, and
expressed with becoming modesty his graft
tude for past favors and his hope for favors
to come. He was Mr.. Ca'craft, the hang
man."
A shocking Alpine accident on Easter
Sunday, briefly noticed in cable dispatch,
is more fully described by Vienna cores
pendent. Three young men and young
lady ascended lofty peak of the Rax Alp,
and one of the party mounted higher than
the rest in order to find the right path. He
called from above that the ascent was very
difficult and that no path was visible. On
his return he was astonished to find that his
companions had disappeared. It is sup
posed that fatal fall buried all tbree-the
young lady and the two Young men-in the
snow. The survivor, with the help of a
guide, searched the whole night for his
missing companions. The electric light
was also employed. but to no purpose. The
Vienna Tourist Club sent all its guides to
continue the search in the ravines and the
dangerous gaps near which these unfor
tunate young people disappeared, but at
last accounts no trace Of them had been
found.
Commenting on the general interest taken
in the subject of evictions in Ireland, the
New York Herald shows that they are much
more numerous and far more summarily
carried out in this country. In New York
city there are ten civil district courts in
which dispossess proceedings can be had.
Within the past twelve months there have
been 10000 families evicited in the city,
while the official reports show that ia the
same year the number evicted In Ireland
was 3, AIS There are two classes of evic-
lions: one for non payment Of rent and the
other for possession Of the premises when
lease expires or time is up. In the former
from three to FIVE days are given in whic1 to
make return to a notice to quit. But in
case a landlord desires to get rid Of tenant
who does pay, he can serve a notice to quit
on the afternoon of the first or second day
after the lease expires, and the answer can
be made returnable In two hours. If the
tenant is not at home when the agent calls
he nails the notice on the door. If the ten
ant does not appear in court in time to ans
wer, judgment goes by default. The mar
shall Immediately goes to the house and puts
the goods out on the Sidewalk, perhaps be-
fore the family return home. In this way
frequent wrongs occur, the family having
not the slightest notice and no opportunity
tn find other quarters
