GEN. LOGAN CHALLENGED.---In April,
1S79 Representative Lowe, Of Alabama,
whose anger had batn aroused by Gen Lo-
gan's speech oH the army bill, charged that
Logan contemplated entering the Confed-
crate service, and that he had raised three,
regiments for the Confedcraies Logan re
piled that the statement was "a vindict;ve
aud malicious lie," as we'll rs false and
slanderous.n Representative Lowe was
quick to ask if the latter words were ap-
piled TO him, and he.sent his message by
his "friend," Charles Pelham. No notice
was taken of the inquiry, and second note
wss forwarded through the same channel.
Finally, apgered at Logan's siIsnce, Lowe
wrote him third note in which he called
attention to the offensive language and the
two notes, and concluded as follows:
'You have failed and refused to answer. either
of them, and you thereby force me to the last al
Tentative. | therefore demand that YOU name
some time and place out Of this District where
another communication will presently reach you
My friend, Charles Pelham esq., is authorized to
act in the premises. Respectfully,
"WM. NJ. Lowe
Mr.. Lowe then published q card charac.
teriziDg Gen. Logan as "a man who knows
how TO insult but not how to satisfy gem
tleman." TO this card Logan paid 20 at
tention and the matter dropped.

There is n curious object of interest in
the Algiers CHASTITY plaster
cast of the Christian martyr Geronimo,
writing in the agony of death. Tradi-
ton had for 800 years told the story of the
Moorish lad who, coming under the
influence OF Spanish missionary monks,
became n Christian and a saint in all but
faith. He abjured the faith, it was said,
for a brief m under the pressure of
bitter persecution and slavery, but re-
turned to it with new zeal, and proved it
in the end by a heroic and horrible death
that of being thrown alive, with his
hand tied behind him, into a block of
liquid concrete, which was afterward
built into the wall of one OF the outlying
forts near the city. Such was the tradi
ton, singularly and Literally true in the
minutest details, as was proved in 1853,
when part of the Fort des V~ingtquatre
Heures was demolished, and block of
concrete found containing the accurate
impression Of the writhing body, face
downward, and the hands tied with cords
behind the back. The block itself was
claimed by the church, and deposited
with great honor in what used to be a
Mohammedan mosque, but is now the
Roman Catholic cathedral Of the town.

-You seem to be very much attached to

joying your honeymoon instead of being

Brown.
The latter appeared somewhat confused.
He took of his eyeglasses, rubbed them
very carefully with a handkerchief, and
replaced them on his nose. "What do you
mean" he asked.
"Didn't ! see YOU at the theatre last
nightfp asked Smith.
w were there" responded Brown.

the end of the performance, hand In

Let us suppose the mental powers grad-
uallv diminished. while the bodily powers
remain unimpaired. Suppose hat pro
cess continued. until the mind no longer
troubles itself about unseen things. but
liz content with drawing differences from
actual present sensations, so that the look
ing forward-the taking thought for the
morrow, which is the principal source
of human mental suffering-ceases
to exist. You then approach the constl'
tuition OF one OF the higher mammalia.
1t is a constitution in which the chief
sources of human pleasure remain I'M
touched. while the chief sources OF hui
man pains are either removed or dimin-
ished. In such n constitution, as com-
pared with man, the reduction in total
pleasures should be relatively small,
while the reduction in total pains
should be relatively large. Grant
to an animal so constituted I'M
stinted food, and 1t ought in theory to be
happier than "a human being, the limita-
ton in its pleasures being more than
counterbalanced by far greater limitation
in its pains.
Imagine a graminivorous q~uadruped
with limitless pasture and you ave IA
state Of things in which you ought to

that the totality of its pleasures would
not equal the totahty of human pleasures,
by far more would the ~totallty of-its
woes fall short Of the totality of human
woes. If such an animal can not taste
the pleasures OF the knowledge of good
and evil, neither has 1t to taste the mis-
cries Of poverty and loneliness, OF loss OF
wife or child, OF failure In business, Of
knowing not where to procure food or
where to lay its head. The problem how
to make both ends meet never vexes the
mind of the ruminant; monotony has no
terrors for the OK; no fear Expresses 1t of
another's rivalry, no jealousy of another's
success. Even when disease and decay
overtake it 1t knows nothing of that
which makes disease terrible to nan
the knowledge that 1t must end in n
separation from those whom he loves

Miss May Mcclellan, daughter of the
late Gen Mcclellan, has very peculiar
pets, two white mice, which at times she
would take to the opera. They ran around
the box at the academy, often perched on
her bare shoulders, and kept the audience
quite amused or the reverse. They were
only permitted to run about during the
intermissions, but one night, just as the
prima donna was in the midst OF n pa
thetic solo, the mice came out as If to near
too, and the eyes Of the audience followed
them. Miss Mcclellan tried to secure
them but they became excited and ran
away over the cushioned rail OF the bal
cony until caught by an usher and re-
turned to their mistress. Probably the
prima donna to this day does not under
stand why her solo received so little sp-
plause OF that particular night. New

MORTON, OF MAINE.

Embarrassing Position in Which His APP
posntment Places Messrs. Hale and Frye.
Washington Special in New York Evening Post.
A New England Congressman, referring to
the nomination of Colonel Morton to be Ship
ping Commissioner says: THE situation, as
understand it, is exactly this: When Colonel
Morton was urged as candidate for postmaster
at Augusta, it was suggested to the Senators
from Maine that it would be unpleasant for Mr..
Blaine to receive his mail at the hands of man
who had so attacked him, and the Maine Sena-
tors called upon the President and gave him to
understand that they could not consent to the
appointment of Colonel Morton to that Office.
The President asked them at the time whether
they would object to his appointment to any
office whatever and they told him they would
Iot They, of course, did not have in mind
the Shipping Bureau, and, of course, had refer
ence to any other Office for which he was quail
flied. These Senators, therefore, are in an en-
barrassment upon this question. They do not
intend TO make any opposition to Colonel Nor
ton, politically or personally, but they are we'll
aware that he is not a suitable person to be Com
missioner OF Shipping. 1t has been said doubt
less In an extravagant way. that he does not
tnow a schooner from brig. 1t is fact beyond
question that he has never paid especial atten-
sion to shipping matters Mr. Patton, who has
been retired. was, on the contrary, for years a
shipmaster, has devoted most of his time to ship
ping matters. is writer on subjects relating to
shipping and one of his books. The Ports of the
World. is an international standard and author
ity. If there shall be an organized oppo-
sition to the confirmation of Colonel Nor
ton from Democratic sources in Maine, it
is possible that he might be defeated but
what the action of the Democrats may be is
yet to be determined New England men do not
consider Colonel Morton suitable person to be
appointed to the head of that important bureau.
It is in every sense a technical bureau, ard lis
chief certainly ought to be familiar with ship
ping matters. Colonel Morton is an express
agent in an interior town.
