Mr. Davis was iwsessed of unusual wealth, was popular at his home, was said to be a fair lawyer and Judge, and a good keeper of secrets, though he was never able to conceal his Inordinate ambition to reach the Presidency of the United States. Mr. Davis was tntce married, tho last time to Miss Adeline Uurr (who sur vives him) at Tokay, near Kiyetteville, ii C" 0"Mai;c1' when the lady was 40 and the ex-Senator Hi) vears old.

Mr. Davis, In health, usually weighed about 323' pounds. While his death Is probably largely diie to a natur al decline, a carbuncle on Ids shoulder last spring superinduced the breakdown which ended in. death. Tiikiik is beginning to be talk of the adjournment of Congress. Some prophets say that tho session will be over by tho middle of duly, while oth ers predict that It will run'to the 1st of August. The appropriation bills may I e passed by the earlier date, but Coi -gress must hurry to accomplish that, and tho President, It is said, proposes to take his time In examining the big blJ!,Morj ys'lJPlng them. .iJndcrthe circumstances, predictions are idle, and all w can do Is to wait and see.

Oh. If the walls of tho Aldermen's room rould speak what startling tales they could tell I In this dirty dlmty room once sat Tweed, and long before Tweed's time away back In' tho thirties and forties men sat here to whom Tweed and Jnehiic were only worthy successors. This Is by many hundreds of millions of dollars the richest city on this Western contl nent. You can mee'.,niore millionaires' In a walk of fifteen minutes along Droadway, all or. Droad street than you could-mcct In any other city In as many months; yet, whero does its wealth go? In twenty years it has taken , from" the taxpayers neaily seven hun dred millions of dollars and It has plunged it in debt, about one hundred and thlity millions beside. In front of the Hall Is a fine maible fountain; it was a job put up In the golden age of Tweed and cost many thousands, but It was empty and dry; the pipes got out of order and the city was too poor to re pair them. Under the tliade of the trees, which thanks to a benign and overruling Providence, still grow and thrive, sat crowds of listless Idle people, like Mieawber, they wire anxiously waiting for something to turn up. What's the matter, my friend? said 1 to a very stout looking fellow who was dozing In one of the seats. Hard times, ha replied; the strike threw me out and I hain't had nuthln' to do since. That's tough, I said. Tough, tough I tough ain't no name for it. Stranger, s'liclp the; I haven't bad a taste of whisky for a week, just think of it in a land of liberty. Ye hain't got sleh a thing as a loose dnifiabout yerv)utlses, lias yer? 1 assured him I had not; that my pocket change was composed exclusively of lO.CCO checks, and I was theiefoie un able to aci'Oiniuodato him. I went up to tlio Governor's room; a comfortable oliJ lady had chargo of lho place, and with tbo exception that sho looked a trifle older, 1 could have made an affi davit tliat.stie was the identical woman 1 saw I here forty years ago. The loom looks exactly the same, not a table or a chair haWecn altcied. Our long line of Governors, ba'ok to colonial times, look benlgn.intly down from the walls, and to the right Of the door Is Y llllani Page's picture of Governor Marcy, look ing as If It bad been executed by a se cond-class house painter. It Is recorded that William Page visited this room several times, and though he pocketed $3,000 of tho city's money for Governor Mnrcy's portrait ho refused to aeknow- iedgodt us his woik up to the day of his death. Tho Governor's room Is tho only dne that looks as If It had been swept for the last' ten ycais; In fact It appears that If the place iseer to bo tlioioughly cleansed It must be purllied as sinners are bv Hie. In lho parks, in ho taloons and all along tho stieels aro thousands of idle, seedy looking men. On every hand Is tbo cry of hard times, and yet In every portion of the city bnfldlngs are going up wherever theie Is'a spare lot to build on, and where there Is not. they pull down splendid houses to make room for buildings more ma;nlticent. Many years ago the old dry goods firm of IJowen, McXamce&Co. erected what was then thought one of tbo most mag nificent buildings in lho couutiy; pco pie prognpstlcatcd the t.peedy failuie of tho concern on account of their reekless extravagance In building. It was oc cupied of late jears by Dulmonleo's ics taurant, and was a favoilie resort of all the pilneipal baukers and brokers down town. It has been torn down, also the Metropolitan Hank and the building nd joining, to make loom for one of those colossal buildings which aro rising In every poitlou of the city. Hani times! Tho times may be hard, but there seems to be no lack ot money to invest in building, and It is now regarded as the very safest Investment notwithstanding our fearful into of taxation. Tho great Darling will case has ended, and nothing more lomantlc has ever oc cupied the attention of our courts for years. Professor Darling was one of the most thoroughly scientific men In the country. As an anatomist It is safe to say that he left no superior behind him on tlio Anieilean continent at his death. He came to this countiywhen a very young man, and euleied the fimllyot the great physician, Valentino Mott, niii tutor. In the company of the most learned men of his time the young tutor held no second place, and when tho suggestion was made that he should begln'the study of medicine, ie e ngageil in it with ardor nor paused till ho had earned -honorable distinction in his chosen profession, When he had gained position and some money ho vis ited ills nativo land aud found the onlv daughter of the dearest friend of his '""""7" Win. one son. wiiom she was struggling o M.pport. . lie offered j the widow and her boy . i home In the1 Win0! it '"'".'"I10"' ,:,1ul1es,"1,',,!,:e'1 ! ' ,s Prov lK;J, t0 r lo , t ie da, of his death and dying left her! all his property, lha mpst remarkable ' featnro In the case Is that this dry old Scotch prof.,or who took sp.cl.l pains I to let tho woiM know that he, beyond all his sex a woman hater, wns really ondof the nio.-t aide nt of lovers. Tho snowe of seventy winters had not cooled eredlt; It only shoas that he was human . If W! ke the rest of us, and bad tbo usual share of all of our little weaknesses, es pecially when there Is a 'woman, n tlio case. But tho- proftiior paid the debt wo, allflust pay sooner or later, and tlio w imiai whom he expected to make Ills wKp was left (he sole heir to alt of his ea'rilily possessions. Tho man was scarcely laid In his gravo when a wife apJlMlcd and claimed him as her litis band, though shobad not seen him since he was committed to States Ptlson many1 jeai's'ago. An ancient German was eo sure that Mrs. Uniting was Professor Darling's widow that he hacked her up with all" fcf his spare cash, taking post oblt'on tin! widow's expected fortune. There was tomp lively sweat Ins, as there always is in such cases. The. widow was nhone a photograph of tlie dead professor and she Identified It at onco ashcrdrar departed, whom she had left a quaiter of a century before at the gates of Sing Sing Prison, for an In decent assault on tils own daughter; the daughter was u witness and swore that the professor's photo was that of her father. Matters began to look rather cloudy for the legatee, when some one hunted up the prison records and It was then discovered that the Darling who w ent to Sing Sing could not write, but signed his name with a cross. The widow was staggered but not conquered ; she did some more tall swearing, and just as the case was again becoming complicated the sister-in-law of the con vict appeared and her testimony settled the widow's hash. It was remarked by the otricers that when she got outside the precincts of the court, she accom plished some of thctallestsweailng that was heard during the trial. For bare faced, bold Impudence, the claim put .forth by this person has never been .sur passed. Professor Darling's life was open as the sun-light for fifty years; his associates were always among the most eminent and respectable neoplo In the land, and to attempt to substitute an Ignorant beasllal brute, who could not write bis own name, for such a man, Is a crime which should send every person connected with tho conspiracy to Slates Pi Ison. The week lias been marked by an un usual outbreak of crime, commencing with two murders on Sunday ami sup plemented, by deeds of violence every day thl week, which will doubtless con sign the perpetrators to long terms of Imptisoment, Saddrst of nil sad sights was to see two boys consigned to States Prison for even years for lho murder of another boy In tho street; all were drunk; all were the children of 'respect able parents, but mm has blasted their lives and when they como out of prison the chances nro nlno in ten that tlie curse will follow them to their graes. Willie there is no question that our thrifty aldermen made a good thing out of tlio sale of the Broadway franchise, et after all it was no such bad thing for the city. This w eek the city received $10,000 solid cash as its shire of tho plunder; I don't hear anybody howllns about that. It Is mora than "is paid tho city by all Hie railroads put together, and after all tho row and all tho briblii!; there is not a man or a woman wiio would have the cars taken off llroadw ay and the clumsy old i-tages put back. Jake Sharp may not be an angel, but ho is not so black as be is painted. The leporters all make fun of liiiu because he e.uiies. a bottle of milk; If It was rum they w ould not say a w old about it.

After leaving the elegance, tlio free dom nnd the civilization of ono of the magnificent Hay Line steamers at Ports mouth, It takes a very philosophical traveller to really be delighted with the first few hours' travel over the great Seaboard Alr-llne railway. Much of the first eighty miles Is through a region that Is uninviting, except to those who aro In search of rich, black land. Tho acres He level as far as the eyes can see them. Only n tithe of the land Is cul tivated, aud this teems with tall corn and flourishing peanuts. Near the bay "truck" patches and strawberry farms aro quite numerous. Much of this land has been ic-elalined by drainage from the fcicat Dismal Swamp, whose con fines wero made the homo of Harriet needier Stowe's famous story oP'Drcd." This may be tho most healthful spot on tho American continent; hut one must not be blamed too severely if visions of aguo and malaria seem to present themselves In every half-hidden marsh. Wo would like to look at this section dlffercntly.but wo "ain't built Ihat way.'" And et, right In this very belt of coun try are Old Point Comfort, Portsmouth and I-'oifolk, all renowned for their healthfiilucss. Ono has a long wait nt Weldon, and then the scene changes materially. The banks grow red. Oak groves please the eye. The air seems to grow rarer, and the traveller begins to realize that he is glad ho is alive. Twenty-one miles southward from H'eldou the first town of any Importance on the Italelgh & (iasion load Is i cached. The town of Littleton pleases every body. Tho( houses anil nearly all the outbuildings are painted. While Is the prevailing color. Kven tbo Itallroad Company caught thu Inspiration, evi dence of w hlch Is piesented by tw o hugo water tanks one at either end of the town which In their whiteness look like giant candles which have been burnt almost to the socket. Of course we get off at Littleton. Al most everybody does. And In respumo to the Invitation of a polite gentleman of color we walk acioss the greensward to the only hotel In the place, which is renowned for Its palalableand decidedly sensible dlnnei. Some people .rnoke after dinner, and If you are so Incline,! jou may sit on a wide, breeze-swept verandah and have a good time all by yourself. Then out for & walk Uttltton budt without recari to regularity of streets. Hero a store seems to have dropped right down from sonic where lcgardlcss of whero It lighted. There a neat dwelling lies half hid In a bower of treos. Tho addition to the J town, (bow common It Is for towns to : have "additions,") Is laid out regularly 'in blocks. Something better might 'ba u.le:ieu ui a ion ii umi ues in two coun ties; yet ono can-scarcely say what. Tho town Is partly In Halifax and partly lilt Warren-coimtjj and has afjout six hundred population. " -' Littleton lies exactly on the rldgo be tween the Hoapokc and tho Tar rivers.. It Is a veritable water-shed. This can be better Illustrated by saying that thero Is a store Id the town that Is so nearly on tho ildge that water falling on Its roof on tho olio side flows Into tho Hoanoke river and on the other side In to the Tar'rtver; Nature des.lg'ned' Littleton for a health resort. It is freb from' malaria-producing causes,and Is surrounded w 1th a dry, pure atmosphcie. A caso of diphtheria was never'kiiow'n In the town, white fev ers ami pneumonia aio very rare. Besides the advantage of location, moio than a score, of very valuable min eral springs are located either within th6 borders of the town Itself, or within a radius of four miles. The virtue of these medlclnalspilngsls unquestioned. They have been analyzed,aml have few, If any.siiperiors. Their waters arc used freely by the Inhabitants for miles around, being carried awav In bottles, So strong Is the faith of the people In the wondeiful curatlvo properties of these waters, that one man offers to board patients frco fot one month If his spring will not cure them of any disease for which Its waters have been recom mended, principally dyspepsia; for this disease tho water is said to bo a pana cea. The roads aro most excellent, being hard, and the country just undulating enough to make traveling a pleasure. Tlio scenery is tine all about that section of the State. The quality of the land Is most excel lent. Anything can be raised on it. H saw grain growing there as fine as we ever saw grain grown growing in the North, lllue grass, like the famous product of Kentucky, grows spontane ously, and meadows could be. and are made there with no raoie difficulty than Is required In tbo Northern States. There are thousands of peach trees In this part of the State. Large vineyards show what can bo done at grape glow ing. As fine strawberries ns ever grew are cultivated lioic.yicldlng most profit- aniv. nils Is, Indeed, "a land of puro delight," whero the laborer may "sit under his own vine and fig tree," enjoy good health, and see his crop3 yielding a bountiful harvest. And yet, In this land of prosperity and plenty, there are many acres of good land for sale at honest prices. It would be a strange farmer who couldn't find here exactly what he longs for the best of soil at a low price. To the manufacturer we would say that there arc vailous Industries await ing the advent of capital and men of push. A tobacco factory, a fruit can nery, and a cotton factory, as well as a score or more of smaller enterprises, would all pay. P. P. Woodwakd. Wasliton Hem aiid Gossip. From our Special Correspondent. Wahijisotoj?. D. C, June 28, 'SO. Mil. Editoii: Tho latest feature of Washington life Is the adoption of the tricycle by ladles. The broad smoolh pavements of tlie city render traveling by bicycle or trlcyle. both a convenience nnd a luxury. Tho tiso of theie machines has long been popular for news gathering purposes, un.l a num ber of "wheels" may be seen at anv hour of the day or night about thedoois of the various newspaper olllces. The telegraph companies were early In recognizing tlio advantage of tho sys tem from a business standpoint, and fi)rnislicdtheli'messengcrs withbleycles. Tho fact that the appeamnco of a lady upon a liicjclo would be likely to at tract notice, and cause mora or less comment, has until recently prevented their genera) adoption by theiadles. A number of tieycle clubs have, however, been formed among the ladles durlim "the past fuw months, nnd during tbo coursetf a walk through tlie streets upon tffipoonllght evening, one con stantly tSeets these tricycle riders. Tho popularity of tho tricycle Is in fact In creasing dally, and If ono may judge from the enthusiasm evinced by the ladies who are members of tlie clubs, It Is safe to predict that the "machine" will soon achieve an even i:reatcr norm- laiity among lho ladles than it has herc- ofore with the gentlemen. It is rumotcd that a laruo number of dismissals aie to be made In the various Lxccutivo Departments upon July 1st, the commencement of the fiscal year. The Sixth Auditor has announced the dismissal of twenty-six clerks from his olllcc, It belngstatcd tliat thu dismissals wcio made necessary by an expectation that tho appropriations were to be re duced. An examination of the pro is Ions of tho legislative bill as it passed lho House, shows that tho Sixth Audi tor Is given all the force asked for, and that tho total leductlon necessary In all giadcs does not exceed six or eight. llio President has been so busily en gaged during tho week, cousldcrln" thn great number of bills which await his nignaturc, tliat ho has been obliged to deny himself to callers, and the regular meeting of the Cabinet on Thursday wa3 postponed on that account. On Wednesday lie sent lifteen veto messages lo Congress, and on Thursday a batch of thlrly-two bills were returned to the llouso with his reasons for disapproval. Tho effects of overwork began to show" themselves before the close of the week, and iiftercontlniied urging by his friends tho President finally decided to accept an Invitation, which had been tendered to him by Representative Scott, of Penn sylvania, to join In a pleasant cruise down the river, Tho party, consisting of tho President, Postmaster General Vilas, Kcpienentallye Scott, W.

De Is a coal operator, well-to-do, honest, Intelligent and a strong partlzan. Tho conferrees will be elected on July i7 bv a conven tion chosen on the 2-lth. From his observations In Pennsyl vania General John P. St. John thinks that an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors would be adopted by over 50,000 majoritv. Senator Wallace docs not seem anxious to bo the Democratic candidate for Governor, and some members of the party think ho might bo more so; but near friends say ho would accept a unanimous or harmonious nomination. George A. Jenks says of tlie move ment to make him the Democratic can didate for Governor: "I never heard of it, and if 1 had I would hae said no quicker than lightning. I positively would not accept tho nomination have nothing to do with politics now." Fd. W. Dewitt, of Weatlierly, who was defeated two years ago on the lie publican ticket for Assembly, will bo a candidate for the nomination before the Republican Convention of Carbon County. District Attorney Mulherin, of this county.ls being spoken of in connection with the nomination for Assembly. He will probably be one of the nominees. Tho Plttston Gazette humorously asks: "If tho Democrats are so much enraged with Samuel J. ltandall for de feating the Morrison bill, why don'tthoy read hhn out of tho Democratic party?" They are probably afraid that two-thirds of the people may go with him. Fresbytorlnn Sunday School!. Of the many good things tliat have been established by the different church denominations, which have blessed humanity by their sanctlfylnglnfliience; there aro few better than the adoption in a day set apart annually by the churches to bo devoted especially to the children their intellectual, moral and religious culture, and hence called Children's Day. I'he observance of a day for this pur pose, althonh of late origin, Is so good that wo rejoice to ho able to sav, they are becoming quite popular over the country, lielng contageous, (like some other good things), thu Presbyterian Union Sabbath School of this place caught, the happy contagion tills year; and although one of tho first to observe the day in Lehlghton this season, I can safely say It was Indeed a ory joyous and happy occasion as well as profitable to all who wero present at the Chlldrens" Service held on the evening of the 22nd tilt. This was the first observnnco of the day by this school, and through the efforts of Mr. llolin the Superintendent, and the olllccrs, teachers and scholars, It was so Joyously successful that It will long bo remembered bythose who hadtho pleasure of participating either actively or passively In the exercises of the even ing. Thu front of the church was beauti fully decorated and presented a very delightful appearance, being tastefully arranged by tho stars and stripe., appro priate mottoes, nnd n vast profusion of flowers. Hut to describe all fully would mako this article very lengthy, nnd wo will only add that the doors of this Sunday school areopentoall.thcoHlccrs and teachcrsrejolce to wclcnmcst rangers; and the Superintendent, and Mr. Philip Miller, the pillars of tho school Invite the co-opcrutlou of any who feel an Interest In tho extentlon of Christ's kingdom to labor with them In this blessed work. Frightful Accident- William Selgenthal, an Eastnn boy, met with h frightful accident last Satur day afternoon on the L. & S. Itallroad near Whlto Haven. He left his home on Friday and leaped on a coal train on that road for the purpose of stealing a ride. Secreiln;; himself In one of the cars ho remained unobserved until after the train had passe.) White Haven, He left It I lu-re and remained In that vicin ity until Saturday, when lie leaped on a train coming east to return home. When about three miles from White Haven he fell from the cars and had Ills arm torn from the socket by the wheels. Notwithstanding the terrible accident and tlio great loss of blood, young Selgenthal walked to White Haven, had his Injury dressed by a physician nnd was well cared for by a citizen of that town. On Saturday evening young Selgenthal was taken down to St Luke's Hospital whete he died Sunday night from tho shock and loss of blood. His remains wero were sent to 1 last on on 1 Lehigh Valley passenger train Mon day morning, where his mother resides and whero interment will ba made.
