Plant Fruit Trees. If people generally, were as fond of onltivatfcg fruit, as they are of eating it. what a plentiful supply of this health ful luxury we should have, and how much better it would be for the interests of aIL We frequently gaze with amaze ment upon farms, than which none could be better adapted to the cultiva tion of nearly every kind of tree fruit, but upon which Buch a thing as a fruit tree is as great a rarity as snow in harvest. We fail to understand how it is possible that people can be so in different to their own comfort, and their own interests. If the setting out of a hundred or two choice peach, pear, ap ple, plum and cherry trees involved an outlay of as many hundred dollars, we could then understand why there are so many farms, almost devoid of fruit of any kind, but when such is not the case, —when fifty dollars would clear the entire expense, leaving out of the question the cost of planting, which is trifling, we confess to utter amazement, and not unfrequently to a feeling of in dignation. The farmer who does not cul tivate as much fruit,asissufficient for the largestpossible wants ofiiis family, is lit tle less than a barbarian, for certainly he must be wanting in one of the broadest characteristics of true civilization, when he deprives not only himself, but his family, of what cannot be regarded as other than the cheapest, most whole some, and, though it may to some seem a Btretch of imagination, elevating lux uries. The cultivation of fruit exerts upon the mind an influence not unlike that of the cultivation of flowers. It is refining in its tendencies. Where there is an abundance of fruit, there is neces sarily a smaller consumption of meat, 1 and consequently less grossness of phys ical, as well as mental habit. Go to work, then, farmers, and especially those of you who have hith erto neglected to plant fruit trees. Bo not allow another Beason to pass over your heads, without being able to say that in a few years you have a reasona ble prospect of a crop of fruit sufficient for your families, and for the friends who may need it. Corn Fodder. A falling off in milk, and the neglect to provide food for soiling,inducesmany to turn Btock into meadows early, and before they have become thickly coated with aftermarth. It is bad economy, very injurious to meadows, while the seemingly “fair feed” is swept away in a few days, and a scanty yield of milk Is the result for the balance of the sea son. There is no crop, therefore, that pays the da'ryman better one year with another, than the few acres devoted to corn fodder. Corn fodder should be fed in the stalls, as there is no waste, besides the stock thus fed are more quiet and less disposed to hangabout, waiting for their feed, as they do when the fod der is given them in tho open field. — Each cow in the stall gets its proper share of food, and there is no hookiDg or soiling of the fodder by master cows. The herd should be fed regularly at stated hours, and they soon become ac customed to tho time, coming of their own accord to the stables, and during other portions of the day they will feed more in the pastures. Corn fodder for soiling should be wet ted before feeding. It is a good plan to cut in the morning and let it lay in the sun till afternoon and then feed. In this way some of the external moisture will be got rid oil', and the food will be preferred by animals, and produce bet ter results. Corn fodder is very succu leut, and does not need to be farther diluted by feeding when the dew or water is adhering to it. Better reduce the water in it by wetting and partially drying. The Product of one Weed, A gentleman desiring to know what would be the influence of a single weed upon UieugricuHure.of a lield or garden, selected a plant of purslane (pusley or pursley as called by some), and care fully counted its number of pods. It was a large, but not the largest, sized plant from a rich spot of ground. The number of its seed pods was 4,013. He then took fourteen of the pods—seven amalloned.four medium,and three of the largest—aqd counted the seed in them. The result gave us au average of ninety seeds to the pod. Thus in this single plant we have tiie enormous number of •110,170 seeds. If these werespread over, nplatof ground, and should all germi nate, and a man should attempt to cut them with a hoe, and should average six plants at every blow, and make thirty strokes of his hoe per minute, it would take him thirty-eight hours and twenty-three minutes to cut them out. Or, if these weeds were equally dissem inated at the rate of four to the square foot, they would cover two and a third acres of ground. Again, allowing only one third of theseseed to germinate, and that the product shall be only one-half as rich in seed as this plant, yet they will produce the astonishing number of 25,727,G28,150 seed—enough to cover broad fields with weeds the third year from one Beed. JDo not these figures show the immense importance of cut tiug and destroying every weed before it goes to seed ? There is no doubt that many other weeds are fully or more prolific than this. It has been known in wet weather to grow and mature its seed long after it had been entirely sev ered from the root. Tell Tales, hut Truth Tellers, It is a graDd mistake to suppose that the dumb beasts upon a farm tell no tales. When you call on neighbor C. have you never noticed how the old house dog pricks his ears and wags his tail, the instaut his eve lights on his master ? The owner may perhaps forget to speak to the faithful old brute, but just see how Carlo watches his opportu nity and gives his master’s hand a gen tle push, to remind him that he expects the notice to which he has been accus tomed. There is another place you know of, where the poor terrier tells another story, for no sooDer does that grull* voice sound iu the doorway, than the dog is offskulkiug into some out of the way place, and glad to be able to do that, without un pleas taut preliminaries. A horse knows whether his old master has hold of the reins, or whether the young one has taken the ribbons, the familiar “git’' is under stood and the horse moves accordingly. The idea that a horse is less affectionate than some other animals is a mistake. He is perhaps less demonstrative from the exigencies of the case, for he caunot well put his paw upon your knee or get into the carriage, but in his way, he will soon give you to understand that he appreciates, those that treat him kind ly. It is bad policy to lose the affection even of a dumb beast, and to treat it with undue severity is simply barbar ousaudmeau. At best, its life is bad enough, aud there is not a truer word among all the proverbs of Solomon, than that “a righteous mau lovetb the life of his beast.” These poor creatures are ne flatterers. Their evidences of attach ment are the expression of outspoken sincerity. If you are wise, you will have as little to do as possible with any man whose roughucss lias made his dog afraid of him. Bots in Horses. I believe bots can be removed from horses without harming them in the least. First, give the horse two quarts of new milk, sweetened with one quart of molasses; second, fifteen munutes after,give the horse two quarts of strong sage tea, third, twenty minutes after giving the sage tea, give the’horse three pints of currier’s oil. The bots fill them selves with the milk aud molasses and become lazy, the strong sage tea shrivels them up, anti the currier’s oil, acting as a cathartic, carries them from the stom ach, when they pass away from thehorse. In giving the medicine put an open bridle on the horse, take him into the barn floor, step upon a girt or scaffold draw the horse’s head gently over the beam, holding up on the bridle, when his lower jaw will drop ; then insert the neck of a bottle, and pour the contents gently down the horse. Do not gag the horse or pour the medicine into his nose. This is.a simple remedy, easily applied. I have seen it tested, and am convinced of Its efficacy.— Few England Farmer. Trim Your Trees, This is only to remind you of the ne cessity of this branch of horticulture. The Agriculturalist and other journals describe the proper method of pruning. If the limbs are Jarge and you must use the ax (some prefer a saw), have it very sharp and not cut too close at first; com mence on the under side of the limb, so that it does not peel the bark when fall ing, and then dress the wound close up to the main stem. If it is a fruit tree, a little melted grafting wax or composi tion brushed over the wound is very good. But I was going to say ti im those locust and other trees along the roads and lanes, so that persons will not scratch their faces and tear the oil cloth on their wagons while driving along. If locust trees were kept properly trimmed they would make Better timber for posts Ac, —Lancaster Farmer. ' Destructive Fire.

WTfITP,TTT,Y rgTTE3L.BiG-E3STOKfo ~^iEiP!NTBSi>AY, AIT3S. 1869, aiifllraglc Satctfle. ; ‘flolonel Henry MoKenty, one of the early oioneera and most widely-known citizens 5f Minnesota, committedstfleideatSt.Paul recently by shooting himself through the hoad. He had been for some days residing with the family of Mr. C. !>• Gilfillanj at No. 65 East Tenth street. Having already made one attempt at self-distraction by taking laudanum, he had been placed Under medical treatment, and was anxiously watched by his wifewbo was apprehensive that he might again seek to put an end to his existence. While Mrs. McKenty and Mrs. Gilfillan were engaged in the kitchen, it being about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and no men about the house, an explosion was heard in Col. McKen ty’s room. Mrs. McKenty went up imme diately and found her husband standing in the middle of the room with a revolver in bis hand. There was a bullet-hole through the Looking glass; and as Colonel McKenty was.uninjured, it was evident that in his nervousness he had missed bis aim. She asked him to give up the revolver; and after trying for some time in vain to get the weapon from him, went down stairs to try to obtain the assistance of some man. A few moments after she heard a second dis charge, and flying to the room found him as before with the revolver in his hand, a bullet-bole in the wall, near the ceiling showing that he had again missed his aim. He assured her that the pistol was now empty, and therefore that he coulu do him selfno harm, but refused to give it up. She then went down and told their little daugh ter to run for Dr. Phillips, who lives on Pearl street. As she descended the stairs a third time, she heard another shot, and on entering the room fonod the poor man lying unconscious on the floor. He had fallen heavily against the stove, and. the blood was oozing from a bullet hole intherigljt temple. Colonel McKenty was born* in Chester County, Pa., and came to St. Paul in June, 1851: He began to deal largely in real estate, and soon became the leading operator in tho State. He was strictly honest,- and a man who 36 word was as good as his bond. The fearful crash of 1857-8 crushed his fortune to atoms, and left him destitute. Duriog the oil-excite ment in Pennsylvania, he concluded to go there and see If he could not redeem his fortunes. Borrowing a few hundred dol lars, he wont there in 18G5, only to be pur sued by the same relenctless fHte which had scattered his previous accumulations. Af •‘ter an utter failure he returned home, aud in 1868, by the assistance of a few friends with whom fortune had dealt more kindly, he was supplied with money and started to Calilornia. All his efforts at speculation, however, proved unsuccessful; and about six weeks ago ho returned to this city, and has since been seekingemployment. Mean while be was laboring under great mental depression, which culminated at last in sell destruction, as above related. Shocking Tragedy. At half past 12 o’clock on Monday morn ing a terrible tragedy occured at tho Hake View House, at tho corner of Seneca and Summit streets, on the bank of the lake. Philip Gilmartin, proprietor of the house, shot and instantly killed his son, Thomas Gilmartin, while the latter was attempting to enter the bouse. The circumstances, us related by the father, who is a gray-haired old man, sixty-three years of ago, are as fol lows : He retired with his wife, at the usual hour, aud tho lights were extinguished. Thomas was not then in the house, but this was nothing uncommon for him, as be was in the habit of beiDg out about the city at all hours of tne night. At the time mentioned, Mr. Gilmartin and his wife were awakened by the rattling of a window sash, and were soon convinced that some person was at tempting to enter. Being old people, and haviug a sum of money iu tho house, they were naturally suspicious of burglars. The uoise was at a window ou north side of the house, opening into a room adjoining their sleeping upartment. Mr. Gilmartin had in bis room au old Harper’s Ferry musket, shortened to the length of a carbine, which ho kept loaded for au emergency of this kind. Taking this in his hand, he proceed ed to the window. Discerning in the dim light the form of a man just in the act ol clambering upon the sill, the Anver half of the sash having been removed, he first chal lenged the intruder with : “Who’s there?” but he did not receive any reply. Feeling satisfied that he was a burglar, Mr. Gilmar tin immediately raised his gun and fired. The man fell upon the outside without a cry or moan. The report ardused the other inmates of ibe house and some of the neigh bors, and for a lew inmutes a scene of the wildest excitement prevailed. Upon going to the spot the man was found where he fell, in the expiring agonies of death. Tho hor ror and amazement of the aged father and the other members of tbe family, when they recogtiized the face of Thomas Gilmartin, can be but faintly imagined. A physician was immediately sent for, and the still breathing man was takon into the house. The physician soon arrived, but nothing could bo done, aud bo died wilhiu a few minutes. After being shot he neither spoke nor gave nuy sign of consciousness. Tho ball, which was a large one, entered the right eye and passed entirely through the head, emerging at the back side. The bead, torn and mangled, presented a shocking spectacle. The police were immediately notified of the affair, and Sergeant Kinney with several men repaired to the house. Mr. Gilmartin was taken into custody with out resistance and confined in a cell at the Ceutral Station, until an official investiga tion of the affair can be had. He is known as an innocent, inoffensive old gentleman. He was almost overcome with grief at the terrible deed he had unwittingly commit led: The gun was taken to the station house to be shown at the investigation. Tbe coroner will bold an iuquest this morning, when some further light may be thrown upon the mutter. As tbe case appears there is not the slightest evidence of any crimi nality upon the part of Mr. Gilmartin, aud he will probably bo discharged. The de ceased was 29 years of ago and was a noto riously bad character. —Cleveland Herald. Return of a Confederate Prisoner to Arkansas. The following is from the Little Hock (Ark.) Gazette of July 25 : NTbe Jacksonport Herald and Batesville Times have lengthy accounts of the capture and imprisonment, for six years, of Mr. H. 11. Leo, a cousin of General K. E. Lee, and formerly a citizen of Madison, in this .State. In November, ISG2, he was arrested in Memphis, on a charge of speculating in Confederate money, put iu the Irving Block for one night, and then shipped for Camp Douglas, in Illinois. Arriving there, the officer refused to receive him because there was no law forbidding specuiatiou in money of any kind. The lieutenant having him in charge then started with him to Rock Island, accompanied by seven guards. They weutto Milwaukie, Wiscon sin, and were going to put Lee in jail for safe keeping until they could bavo a spree. About this time Leo and one of his guards, who'accompanied him, escaped, but were soon recaptured. Mr. Lee was then im prisoned In Milwaukee jail, and kept in close confinement for two and a half years without a trial. At the end of that time he was taken out and sentenced (without a trial) to four years imprisonment in the Sialo prison, at Madison, Wisconsin. Dur ing these four years he was not allowed to write to his friends, or reud a book or newspaper of any kind, but was effectively excluded from the world. During this lime his health was good. The lime for release came, lie went to Cinein naii, where he heard that his wife was dead, and ho could hear nothiug of his child.— From there he went to Memphis, where he was received by his friends as one risen from the dead, and learned the joyful news that his wife and child, the latter a grown young lady, were both living, and at Bales ville. The telegraph was used iu announc ing to his wile his safety, and staling that lie would meet her at Jacksonport on the lJth. Kays the Herald : “They met, and such a meeting as it was never occurred within our knowledge. The joy oflby wile at Ibo sight of her restored husband was too great, and swoon after swoon followed in rapid succession.” From hero they went to Batesville, their future homo, where we leave them, trusting that a long aud happy life may*be vouchsafed to the happy family, and trusting that this is the last Oonfeder erate prisoner.” A Sad Romance—Tlie Wife of a Day—l.ove In IK'ath, Some three years a young Gorman, whose family had am migrated to this coun try came East from Sun Fraucisco to pur sue his studies for the Presbyterian minis try, at Priucetou College. His health was feeble, and it was thought best for him to spend his vacations as much in the open air as possible. He accordingly hired him self to a furmer, in Bucks county, Pa., and spent the summer in outdoor occupation ol a light character. A few days ago, when the Pacific railroad had just been completed, aud the public were still talking of the last spike with the golden head, a young lady purchased in Philadelphia one of the very first through tickets for San Francisco. She was the fair daughter of a Quaker farmer who lived near where the young German student had been employed during his vacation. They bad met, loved and engaged to be married. But his health had grown worse, and his family had sent for him to ceme back to California. Letters from him to the Bucks county farm house told only of still further decline. The young girl pined under her trouble. At last, one Saturday, came a telegram ask ing her to come to him at once. Her be trothed was sinking fast. On Tuesday she was on her way. The road of iron that spans the continent was safely traversed, and she reached San Francisco. The rest of the story is briefly told. The newspapers of Eastern Pennsylvania, a month ago, announced under the head of “Married,” the wedding, in San Francisco, June 24th, of a gentleman of that city to a lady of Bucks county, Pa. Following it, under the head of “Died,” San Francisco, June 251 b, was the name of the husband. The wedding had been by a death bed. The Quaker girl was the bride of a day. Grant ami Colfax Losing Popularity Id tne West. The Washington correspondent of the N, Y. i/eraWJsays: A Republican politician of Indiana, who arrived here last evening, givos it as his opinion that the Democrats will be snccessful at the local elections in that State this fall. The dissatisfaction with the administration is very great, and has been brought about by the character of Grant’s appointments, his lack of a decided foreign policy and the extravagance of the Congressional traveling committees. Col fax, this gentleman says, has lost whateyer popularity he had in Indiana, and a strong party-of politicians is being organized to oppose bis aspirations to the Presidency.— The Bejmblicans have lost all confidence in Graht, and are bitterly regretting his election. - The gentleman who brings this report was a delegate to the Chicago Con ventlonand the most prominent manipula tor for tbe nominatioa of Colfax. Bader’s Opinion of Grant. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette relates the following current anecdotes; When Ben Bntler heard of Grant’s com plicity with Benter and Walker and Dent and Hamilton, to get op a “Grant party” at the Sonth, be wrote here that the General was ambitioiißof another term—and should be watched 1 When (very recently) it turn ed oat that the President threw away this chance at the command of such a pigmy as Bout well, and threw op his military cap for Stokes and Alcorn and Wells and Davis, Butler, shrewdly enough, wrote emphatically that he was a “d—-d fool, and needed no watching any longer.”— Grant has irretrievably split his- party at the South, and although he is now under the leading strings of Chandler, of Norfolk, who wants to come to the Senate from Virginia, and will doubtless iliegallyturn out of the Legislature of that State the very men he did more than any one else to elect, still the real mischief is.irre mediable. The whole South is gone! Another anecdote of General Butler: At the time of the famouß “ Yerger comprom ise,” the “ General” was in town—(l mean in this city). Addressing a fellow-Badicai, he said: “ I don’t blame Grant for this, he doesn’t see his agreement substantially surrenders the question of jurisdiction, and places the Supreme Court beyond Congres sional legislation. He has agreed to sus pend judgment until the Court decides. Cases will arise of which he knows nothing of the hearing. In surrendering what he has (so far as ne can do so), he has disrupt ed the Republican party. I don’t blame him for this, however, (as I have said), he knows no more of law or statesmanship than Boutwell himself. But be should have known better than to have appointed a ninnyhammer to the Attorney Generalship —one of the most important posts in the American or any other Government.” Bearing in mind these observations, the following purport of what Butler said after tbe news had reached him that Gen. Grant had ordered the Marshal of New York to resist with military force the sacred writ of habeas corpus , will be better understood: “1 have given his Excellency credit for all the negative viitues, and have excused his action in his brief career as best I could; but in this matter, sir, I can find but one excuse, sir —he must have been half seas over , sir! There were so many ways to avoid this direct issue besides making tbe Government the insurrectionary party ! Pierrepont will fix it. He is a lawyer. The man can be strung up without putting the country by the ears! Let them employ Bingham /” Tetter from] Judge Dent. A correspondent of the Jackson (Miss.) Clarion has furnished the following extracts of a letter from Mr. Louis Dent, the pro spective nominee of the“ National Republi cans, and, adds the Clarion, the aecepted caudidato of the people of Mississippi for Governor;— I am gratified at the election in Virginia and earnestly hope for Mississippi a like happy result. It is upon this basis that we may hope for a speedy restoration of good government in the South, with her discord ant elements reconciled and her true men of all parties re-united. On the basis of the election there is the commencement of a new era in the politics of.the country, and it is gratifying that so many good and wise men are luying hold of li as the panacea for all our political ills. The time has arrived for breaking boldly away from the prejudices and precedents of the past. The policy adopted in Virginia is the dawn of a better feeiing. It will change the whole surface of Southern politics, aud transmute what has been under the recon struction acts an element ot discord into a resource of reconciliation. The question of negro suffrage pending the fifteenth amend ment becomes fixed and irrevocable, RDd if wisely managed tho measure may happily become the means of more nearly adjusting the balance of power between the North and the South. The great agricultural aud commercial interests of Mississippi, in which my whole soul is enlisted— their resuscitation and development— are yet to constitute no small share of tbe political lopics of the future of our State; and in view of this fact, together with the earnest appeals which have come from so many sources no less respected than patriotic, I have consented to become a candidate for tbe office of Governor. lam uot without distrust of my fitness for so distinguished and responsible u position : but utu cheered by the assurance that If elected I shall have the hearty aud earnest co operation of wise and virtuous men of all parties iu establishing good government, harmonizing her every interest, and restor ing the Stale once more to her proper rela tions to the Federal Uuion. I have the honor to bo, your friend sincerely. The.Dronglit in Virginia. The Lynchburg Virginian of Saturday has most distressing accounts of the effect of the prevailing drought from all parts of the State. The Virginian adds: “Vegetation is literally burning up. The grass has almost disappeared in some sec tions, while the corn has become so shriv eled, twisted and stunted, that even copi ous rains from this time forth could not save it. It some parts of the State there has not beon a good rain for nearly ten weeks, aud during all this time we have not had in this vicinity more than two or three brief showers. Under the most favorable cir cumstances now, if it should be seasonable all through tho remainder of this month, and early frosts should not set in to blight what remains of late corn, there will not be more than the third of an average crop of corn in the State. In many sections there will be none at all, and much suffering will be the result of this failure. Had we not been favored with an abundant crop of wheat, the situation of our planters would have been distressing indeed ; and, as it is, many of them will find it hard work to pay taxes and provide for their households. “ In the above, we have spoken only of tho corn crop, and have said nothing about that other great staple, tobacco. With many of our planters this is the main de pendence to bring them in ready money.— The wheat crop has been so precarious iu this section lor years past tnat the plant ers have not sown much ; and it is a mat ter for sincere regret with many that they did not sow a larger breadth of soil last fall, which would have enabled them, in view of the favorable yield of wheat, to bridge over the trouble that will be occasioned by the short crop of corn and tobacco. The growing crop of tobacco gives very little promise of a fair yield, and even if it should under tho inlluence of genial showers— much too long delayed—take a fresh start and recover partially from the effects of the drouth, it will be so late in maturing as to subject it to he hazard of frost in the fall, thereby creating the necessity for cutting it before it is perfected. There is great reason to apprehend that tho crop will be short and of inferior quality, that will bring only short prices. Upon the whole, therefore, the farmers and planters in much the larg er poi tion of Virginia will not be likely to realize a year of good results. Narrow Escape from a Shocking Death. On Friday last, a German named Miller, lately arrived in Baltimore, cadre near los ing his liie, iu that city in a singular man ner. 110 was alone in his room, in an upper story, unloading a huge iron-bound chest about the size of a small ark, and twice as large as a three story Ssratoga trunk. .When he had nearly completed the work.aiid while leuuing over to get some article at the bottom ot the chest, Miller lost his balance and fell in. His heels struck the lid aud brought it down, making him a fast prisoner by means of the spring lock attached. The old fashioned strength of the chest and fastenings resisted the pris oner’s most vigorous efforts to break his bonds, aud his half-stifled cries could not be heard by tho other inmates of the house, who were all down stairs. The agony of tho moment was intense, as may be well imagined, considering the narrow confiues ol such a prison and the remoteness of all help. Fortunately, the window of the room was open, aud the suppressed cries of suf fering were heard by alady in an adjoiniug yard, who instituted inquiries, and these led to an investigation, in which the search ers were directed to tho trunk by the means ol tho imprisoned man. There was no time lordolay. An axe was speedily brought to bear upon the trunk and the lid forced open. The poor mau Jwas found to be al most exhausted, but was soon revived by tbefreshairand prcperapplicatious, though it will bo some days before he is completely over the terrible fright tho accident has given him. A Diamond Ring- Found Through a Dream, A few nights .’ago, says the Louisville Journal, a lady, while taking a walk, lost a valuable diamond ring from her finger in some unaccountable way.— Diligent and extensive search was made, without any clew to the ring, and the lady gave it up as gone “ for good and all.” Be fore daylight the following morning the lady was surprised by the calls of her nurse a small negro girl. On being admitted to her mistress, the girl, who had not heard of the ring being lost, said she bad just had a dream, in which she was apprised when, where, and how the jewel had been lost, and that, if allowed, she felt sure she could find it. She then described the place and manner in which the ring disappeared, and begged her mistress to go with her and test the dream. This strauge circum- , stanco was made known to the household, but all treated it with theutmostincreduli ty. It was afterward concluded to humor the girl, however, and she and several white members of the family proceeded to the dslgnated spot, more than a hundred yurds from the house. Here the dreamer told her mistress that, as directed in her dream, she must drop another ring, it would roll as a guide to the missing one. A plain ring was handed the girl, she let it fail, and sure enough it rolled and stopped within two inches of the lost diamond ring, which had got into a crevice between two bricks of the pavement. It may be imag ined that the ring-hunters were somewhat astounded at the miracle. There is not the least fiction about this curious dream and its result. Tismiemi mokals.

The following, in reference to tbe “ Chief of a Bureau,” Is abonta fair sample of the morals of the Grant Administration. He writes:- m „ A gust of wind will sometimes make queer revelations.

One day there came a whiffing breeze around the corner of a Gov ernment department, not far from the Inte rior, sweeping in behind the massive col onades. and carried a letter lying on the table of a female clerk through the open window. , , The lady clerk had read the letter, and had gone hastily indignant from the room to consult the gentlemanly chief of the bu* react upon its contents. The letter was writ ten by a sister clerk in an adjoining room, who had just made the startling discovery that tbe person to whom it was addressed was a rival in an unlawful Intimacy with the chief of the bureau. The letter, in its turn, had just maddened the receiver by a similarly surprising development Mean while a news-boy—the of the Wash ington streets—had caught the fluttering letter out of the window, and returned it to the room from which it came. It was re ceived there into.the generaljpossession of the lady occupants of the room. Another of them catching its contents was shocked by a doubly exasperating surprise, but prudently withheld the letter from further observation. Tbe owner, returning, accused her of theft; and under mutual recriminations, there transpired the trinity of secrets. Tbe breeze had discovered three mistresses, in a single department , to its chief . Begnlating Liquor Traffic In Sweden. The sale of spirituous liquors in Gothen burg, Sweden, after a variety of experi ments by the authorities, is carried ou ac cording to tbe following method: A reform society of gentlemen oi high sooial standing has obtained entire control of the traffic Id spirits in the city, under an agreement to apply the whole of the profits above ex penses for the benefit of the poor. The society, it is reported, has reduced the num ber of licensed houses to less than forty, one third of the former number, and has bound the proprietors to sell only at fixed prices, giving a profit of only one aud a-half per cent., with obligations to keep a supply of all harmless drinks, Including beer, at whatever profits they coaid command, thus making it the interestiof the venders to sell these drinks instead of liquors. The effect, it is asserted, has been an almost entire ces sation of drunkenness. Rosecrans* Little Game. We have to go to a Western paper to learn that General Rosecrans’ little game iu de clining the Domination for Governor of Ohio was founded upon an intention to proceed to New York, and, if possible, form a grand company lor the purpose of constructing a railroad from tbe city of Mexico to Acapul co, on the Pacific coast. That is a splendid scheme, and if Rosecrans succeeds in carry ing it out he is likely to find himself better off than if he were elected Governor of Ohio ten times over> But Rosey talks too much His vanity w qi no t permit him to keep a secret no matter how good a thing be has in hand. And would not be surprising it this new project of a railroad from the city of Mexico to the Pacific coast were to result iu *moro profit to others than himself just from this premature ventilation of his de sign in an obscure town iu the interior of Mexico.
