relations of the Standard oil company
to the state; but not one of the Senate
is satisfactory. Senator Hall,
as the counsel of the Standard company,
and in the very matter, too, which
this inquiry, is disqualified to
act on the committee. Senator Herr's
relations make him an equally undesira.
ble member; while Grady could not
investigate anything intelligently.
A MOVEMENT is on foot in tho Century
club to erect life size statue in bronze of
the late William Cullen Bryant, in New
York.
THE reported incident of brave girl in
New Haven graphing with negro as
sailant and making a despuratv effcctual
battle against him may serve good pur-
pose. So many cases have been reported
lately from that section of ''educated,"
"refined" aud "beautiful" young women
eloping with negroes that the example of
Jennie Miles, way Of dealing with ad-
vances from that race may be wholesome
AN entertainment not set down on the
bills was provided by the local faculty
ia Cleveland yesterday for tho visiting
delegates to the Medical association. Two
of tho town doctors, connected with
Wooster and Erie medical colleges, be-
tween which there has been a bitter
quarrel existing as regards the possession
of paupers' bodies, had a street knock
down, :hich made more talk than even
DR.. AtIec's entertaining address.
A PArt.R in Washington called the
Gazette, and which by its own showing,
seems to be ready to lend itself to what
ever cause pays best, comes to us charged
to the muzzle with abuse of the Star
Route prosecution. 1t also makes infam-
Gus charges against the private character
of Secretary FOlger. Evidently there is
no work SO dirty that scavenger to do it,
cannot he found among the hireling
Washington newspapers.
In view of the recent and unexplained
manifestations of warmth on the part of
Mr.. Hendricks for Tilden, Baltimore
Sun correspondent reveals what he says
has heretofore been withheld from publi-
cation-that all during the campaign of
1876, there was an extreme coldness be-
tween these two distinguished gentlemen,
that Hendricks felt himself ignored and
was greatly incensed, that during the
electoral troubles they had no conference
Tllden and Hendricks obtained the Offices
to which they were elected it is quite
certain that the latter would never have
darkened the White House doors during
the whole four years term of Office.
So we'll informed an agricultural au-
thority as the Germanto,on Telegraph, and
one SO sensitive to the accuracy of it's
opinions, should not have jumped to tho
conclusion that the exhaustive tendency
of tobacco culture is long established, and
it's prOfitableness, compared with the usual
field crops, is doubtful, because it has beon
found SO IN Western New York. 1t has
not SO here, where tobacco culture has
been more fairly and fully tested than
anywhere else. BY careful tillage tho
general fertility of the soil has been en-
hanced under its cultivation, and the far
superior proftableness of tobacco raising
compared with the usual field crops is we'll
established.
The charming paper on the Scotch
Irish," or, more properly speaking, tho
Ulster Scot" written by our gifted
towuswoman, Mrs. NJ. J. Nevin, although
read originally to select circle of our
citizens, has enough general interest to
justify its republication, not only because
of the writer's pleasant style and interest
ing "reminiscences, but because the people
OF whom she writes formed such consid-
erable element of our original citizenship,
especially in the lower end of Lancaster
county and other Presbyterian districts.
None who have observed the sturdy and
enduring characteristics of this race of
people can fail to find interest in Mrs.
Nevin's account of their social and re.
ligious life.
In "The Magazine of American History
published in New York ano edited by that
laborious and useful historian, Mrs.
Martha J. Lamb, a valuable work is being
done by the collection of much matter of
historical interest that otherwise might be
lost. The chief contribution to the June
number is a continuation of her own
articles on "Wall Street in History"
though the fine steel portrait Of Benjamin
Franklin and the interesting article on the
lost aud found Mss. of Franklin are
alone worth the price of the periodical.
Many notes, queries, contents and copies
