He is rich In money, rich in talent and hes more assurance than most any man in pnbliolife. In fact of the lat ter element be has ah inexhaustible sup ply. Just now he la actively at work keeping himself before the public at a candidate for the Presidency iu 1881. The ''Washington l'ost" has already come out for Blaine and It is said that ho has already struck hands with the editors of other papers of unre or lots prominence who will soon pronounce for tbe "plurutd knight." DUiub believes in the power of the press and greatly prefer it to con Tensions. Blaine has money lots of it aDd he is not afraid to pnt it where it will do the most good and no man has a keener scent for a good investment of this sort than he has. His original idea was that he would Bud capital in a general removal from of fice by Arthur. He wanted to be perse cuted. He longed to pose as a martyr. But the President with comendable judg ment declined to gratify him. He then turned bis attention to picking a quarrel with the Administration meaning to force light at any cost. He found the oppor tunity iu his successor's course in revok ing instructions which he (Blaine) had given to Mr. Trcscott on bis departure for Chili and Peru. This was sufficient cause- for him to sound the tocsin of war and gather around his council tablo th? belligerent class, who only awaited some chieftain's Invitation to tail in and make it warm for the stalwart President and his sUlwart office-holders. But the struggle has not fairly begnu yet. The President's slow easy going pace is hard to match and most provok ing in its regularity. Blaine would be more at home and far happier in a fight with a man of more impetuous tempera. ment than Arthur, but still he may get fight enough out of him beforo he gits through with it.

Transits of Venus across tbe face of the sun buvi been t-iuplnyed by astrono mers to determine the sun's distance from the earth. These transit!- ncur at altern ate intervals of 8 and 121 J and 8 and 1051 years. Tho transits of 17C1, 17C9 and 1871 were observed with great care from various parts of the world. TJie transit ot J871 especially was n matter of great interest and attention, as it was hoped that the errors from previous observations might be corrected. Observing parties wire sent out by ruauy couutrits, and improved means of investigation nota bly photography were employed. Re sults have not yet been given iu full, but as nearly as can at present be judged tbe distance of the sun is about 92,000,000 miles. The next transit of Vei us will occur Dec. 0th of the present year, and will be the last for nearly a century nud a quarter. The occurrence of this phe nomenon will form tbe astronomical event of the ynx.

At a late hour last night Mr. Barton said that after the brief con versation which preceded ths ahoollbg, A. M. BoteldO struck bfm a violent blow in the face, no instantly grappled with Soterde-, when there was a flash from a pistol almost in contact with his face and he felt a stinging sensation on tbe side of his neck where the bullet strnck him.

Congress has been in session two months. There has been an immense amount of talk and never in the hiblory of tbe House has snch'a flood of bills been poured in. But talk is cheap and most of the bills aro still cheaper. Tl e actual amount of work accomplished is very small. Both Houses sre far behiud-band aud are evidently preparing to extend the session far into the summer. There has been ample time to pass several appro priation bills, but tbe committees have not hurried themselves. The pension de- ficleiicy bill, appropriating $540,000, is tbe only one that has been signed by the President. The fortifications bill.calling for $375,000 has got through the House, but not through tbeSenate. The Consu lar and Diplomatic bill has been reported aud tho appropr'ations for tbe Post Office Department aro under discussion. Tbo other appropriation bills are in process of preparation. The river and harbor bill, in which every member has an interest, it is announced will not be ready before the 1st of April. The outlook for the speedy termination of the necessary work is anything but i ncouiaging. The most important piece of legislation, next tn tbe appropriations, is the Sherman funding bill, which has passed the Senate. The amount of time that the House will con- snmo iu its discusslou can only be con- jec'ured. Nothing else of importance has been dor e in either branch except tbe passage on Moudiy, iu the House, of tbe bill disqualify ingpolygamists from mem bership.

Severn has found that coffee produces anaemi of the stomach and retards digestion. Its habitual use mast, therefore, lead to dys pepsia. Continuing hU experiments, M. Severn bas become convinced that sugar acts powerfully In aiding digestion, and he freely prescribes Its use In cases of dyspepsia. From tba&e experiments he draws tba practical lesson that the infus ion of coffee shoul 1 be sufficiently sweet ened to stimulate the secretory function, and thru assist digestion. r-rMafi&liSEliohea sometimes fall in one ' jrjB&'fc'1' ' other times in I fragments thousands perhapa-SyMch are scattered over sores or even miles of territory, while on com eociilons the fall takes the form of show Fnoa oca Rnaiji.Ait CoanEsroNnssT. Washington. D. C. Feb. II, 1S82. The newspapers iu all parts of the country are asking what has become of tbe star .-onte prosecutions. Ttiey do not refer to the petty straw bond cases, but to those which, -it was so repeatedly charged, involved thousands of dollars illegally taken from the government The prosecution on more thau one occasion declared in most positive terms that it possessed evidence sufficient to establish its accusations and convict the accused. First one excuse and then another has been oif-red for the delay, and now the people of the country simply want to know whether tbe charges of tbe prose cution or the counter-charges of the de- feupe are trne. The accused maintain that these cases have been kept in exist euce nud the public interest iu them kept alive in order that certain persons might continue to draw pay for snppposed ser vices from the natioual treasury. If any thing is ever done ith tbe cases there is no reason apparent to outsiders why tbe prosecution shonld not go on now. The Qnitean case is out of tbe way and the courts cm give their attention to the al leged star ronte ring. Interest iu the convicted and condemn ed Guiteau seems to have waned conoid ernbly nud no further attention is paid to bis movements except by bis relatives and counsel.

The injustice of the pending apportion ment bill and of the methods ou which it is based has become so apparent that it is virtually dead already. The bill was baited to catch tbe votes of the large state delegations: but to trie credit of tbe members from tba next populous states, it can be said that they refusal to ac cept au increase of representation ar bltrarily taken Irom tbe smaller and weaker state. It is evident tbat the nouse will condemn the "Sea ton meth od" of apportionment and adopt tbe old plan of allotiug tbe representation as ueiuly equal as possible iu proportion to population. Cul. Seaton,.snpriutendentof the cen sus thinks tbat it will be between eight aud twelve mouths before tbe census work is completed. Tbe printed reports will be very voluminous. There will be about 20,000 pa'ges of them, divided of course into volumes. The proportion of discus sion to tabulated forms will be very much larger than in any previous work oftbe character.

It is clear that the enemies of Mr, Blaine have not yet succeeded iu pntting bim at a disadvantage. The spectacle of a retiring Secretary of State hurling open letters at the President accusing him of vacillation and blundering iu the foreign policy of tho Nation, is sufficiently novel to attract attention. Mr. Blaine's posi tion is not out) plausible but calculated to be popular if the public- mind becomes interested in the subject It is a fact that our foreign policy has deterk rated to a farce. We have bad none since tho days of that harmless jelly-Fish, whoso notion of American dignity was confined to the proper adjustment of letters of passport, and who bad no conception of tbo growth and power and force of the United States in tho diplomacy oftbe world. The advent of Mr. Blaine on the scene in the high capacity of diplomat was no tice served that the spinal column of tbe Government was about to be stiflVued, and it was stiffened with a vigor which recalled the palmy days of Jay and Web ster and Buchanan. Some people sup pose it is tbe proper policy of a powerful nation to wink at all manner of indigni ties to wnicn ten-cent governments pro pose to subject It and Its representatives, nd tbat conservatism means nothing more or less than an nbjt-ct willingness to be peaceful at any cost. By publishing the text of bis dispatch proposing n peace congress of American powers, and by his Utter to President Arthur, Mr. Blaine has toppled down a structure of misrep resentation, the rearing of which coat its authors several weeks of laborious falsifi cation. I nm not going tn champion the side of tbe cx-Sf crctary but I can see through the attacks tbat have been made pon his diplomatic career. The bus! ness'of belittling and maligning one of the ablest aud most popular statesmen of our time is at best n poor one, but it be comes what insurance men call "extra hazardous" when it is practiced npoa a man of Mr- Blaine's fighting capacity, Some of the bills for tbe Yorktown celebration are beginning to turn np,and tike nearly all bills for entertainments of that sort they are qnite curious. One of tbe Items regarded aa r- markable is a charge of twenty five dollars for water fnrnlsbed an official party from Washing ton. It is said to be tbe first time a pari; of that sort has us id water. Water, how- ever, was not all tbat was drink, for there are several charges for wines, araonating to thousands of dollars.aud other charges for things called entertainments, under wbich disguise u great deal of wine was paid for.
