- Mr.. Manning does not desire to return
to the head of the Treasury Department,
but, according to the New York World,
"Mrs. Manning is very fond Of Washington
life, and if her husband could 60 back with
out endangering his health she would give

exported from the United States since the
year 1886 began, and the shipments engaged

would have checked exports of gold, now
that prices of cereals are so low. The

great as for the whole fiscal year ending
June 80, 1885.

The Utica Observer recalls that the bril-
liant Matt Carpenter, of Wisconsin, once
admitted that his being on the Judiciary
Committee in the Senate was equivalent
to doubling his income from his practice.
He afterwards said II know / am a very
successful lawyer and much sought after.
But when I left the Senate and was dropped
from the Judiciary Committee I was no
longer employed by any of the railroad cor
porations which have large interests at
stake at Washington" That tells the
whole story.

"A young man named Monroe Madison,
of Virginia, was some time ago found dead
in Buncombe county, n. G. The manner
of his death since remained a mystery, but
it was supposed that he had committed sui
eide. Last Thursday a man and woman,
charged with his murder, were arrested in
Buncombe and bound over for trial. The
woman volunteered evidence against the
man. She says he shot Madison and left the
pistol at his side to suggest the idea of sui
eide. The story is PLAUSIBLE and may clear
up the mystery. The parties were placed
in Jail at Asheville Thursday night.

frozen. TO Mr.. Smiths great surprise the
fruit, a few days ago, was found to be in
barrels to a ~neighboring city and they

called for, and now the whole 400 barrels
of hard, fresh, sound Baldwins have been
sold at that price, right, in the middle of

The Fredericksburg, Va, News reports
the following remarkable case: Mrs. Fan
ny A. Lewis died at her residence in this
place on Friday morning last, aged about
sixty years. Mrs. Lewis for many months
past has suffered intensely from an attliction
which completely baffled the skill of the
physicians of this city, who have assiduous-
ly waited upon her, as well as physicians
elsewhere, whom she had consulted. Such
was the singular character ofthe malady that
no surgical operation suggested itself for
her relief. Some days before her death she
asked that a post-mortem examination
should be mad. in the interest of science,
and that afternoon the same was made
by DIR. Martin, assisted by Drs. Roy and
Asheton, when a turf Of hair was discover
ed inside of her as large a mans fist. The
physicians say that no such case is recorded
in the medical works, and has not occurred
before in their experience.
