It is much on high jinks and is honoring atl sections of the commonwealth with its presence, and has its path strewn with balls, big dinners and suppers, anda nice time generally, and makes one wish we were all governeers, as they termed it in the Ritner family, when one of the daughters asked old Joe, on getting ready to oceupy the executive mansion: “Papa, are we all governeers” ? “oh po” was the old man’s reply, “only Mama and I are governeers,” - —— bet was lately decided in a restaurant at Philadelphia. A gentle man asserted that the majority of men did not know what they were drinking, and offered to bet that he could con- found anyone so that he could not tell water from whisky. One of the party ac cepted the wager and the preparations began. The man was first blindfolded and then a number of glasses, containing ater, milk, whisky, sherry, claret Rhine wine and gin, were set out on the bar, They Fore handed to the blindfolded man one at atime and he was told to pame the lignor after tasting it. He got through the list bravely natil he came to the gin, which he called port wine. Then the man started him back, but it wa- evident that his palate had been knock- ed silly He called milk warer and fioal- ly was forced to admit that all the liquors tasted alike and that he bad lost his bet. A npovel —— SUICIDE OF A YOUNG FARMER. A vonng farmer named Charles Fogle, living near Baltimore, shot himself in the head on 10 The cause assigned for the surcide is that he was imposed on by the agents of a specn'ative grain company which has been doing a large busiuess among the farmers of Baltimore coanty. He purcha<el of the company twenty: five busels of wheat at $10 per bushel and gave his note for $250, the company execnting a bond to him promising to gell for him npon the gatbering of bis erop of fifty bushels at the same price, Tuis they failed to do. Some time sgo two men representing themselves to be the agents of another company agreed to take the bond if he would execute his note for $160. This he did and he supposed that the taking ap the bond and bis giving the new ne te meant » cancelation of the former for $250. A few weeks ago be learned that buth notes were in 8 bro- note k r's bands. Tiis cane is same as the oats swindle. teil PROSBECTS FOR PEACE.

Mecently Appointed Engineer Commies sloner of the District of Columbia, Vice Ludlow, Removed. | The mystery connected with the sudden | pemoval of Colonel Ludlow, the Engineer Commissioner of the District of Columbia, / % has not yet been cleared up. Colonel Ludlow, from his army experience and West Point traizing, was necessarily so tocratic in his deal. ings with District af- fairs, and while aeither the President fior the people had the slightest fault to find with his ability or his application to the duties of the MAJOR RAYMOND, place, Ludlow’s rels~ lations with the civilian commissioners and with the citizens of the District had become go strained that his retirenent was, undes the circumstances, most desirable. Colonel Ludlow had connected himself in a manner not above reproach with a syndicate of Philadelphia capitalists that had interested themselves largely with the development of real estate in the northwestern part of the city. While possibly there was nothing eriminal or corrupt in this, it gave his ene- mies an opportunity to make him trouble, and this fact, taken in connection with many other things, subjected the President to a ceaseless flow of correspondence Cole plaining of Colonel Ludlow's course. Probably Ludlow's removal is due in a very great degree to the thorough-going, moderate and fearless criticism which Gen eral H. V. Boynton, the Washington corres spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, has steadily made on Ludlow for the | past six months. General Boynton had no in criticising the Engineer except to do justice to a large body of Washington citizens, who felt themselves greaily wronged by his action as Commissioner. Colonel Ludlow's successor is Msjor Charles W. Raymond, a West Point grad. uate of the class of 1865. Major Raymond is @ native of Connecticut, and a man of fine ability and the highest character. He the head of his class at the milk tary academy, and within two years after his graduation had reached the rank of Captain. In 1573 be was called back | West Point as Professor of Natural and | Experimental Philosophy. In 1574 he was | sent in charge of the American expedition to Northern Tasmania to take observations of the transit of Venus, Four years later he was made instructor of practical Mill tary Bogineering and Telegraphy at West Point. During this assignment ho rebuild the barracks and extended the waterworks at the Point, making himself familiar with the whole subject of sanitary engineering and drainage, in & way that will of course be of great advantage to him in his new po- sition.
