GENERAL NEWS. At Columbus, 0., a meeting of Fed eral soldier* and sailois resolved to bold a national reunion in the summer of 1883. A lady in Rochester, who is f> feet 4 inches in height, has light brown hair which measures 6 feet 6 inches in length. The ex-tjueen of Spain buys a ticket in every lottery of which she heats, ro {•eating the proverb, "Never shut the door against fortune.'* The one hundredth nnniversnry of Thos. 11. Ren ton's birth is to tie cele brated by the Missouri Historical Socie ty on the 14th of Much. The senate of lowa has agreed to tho bouse resolution proposing a constitu tional amendment prohibiting the man ufacture and sale ol intoxicating liquor* us it beverage. John York, attempting to frighten Charles Alexander, at Corsicana, Texas, who was sleeping in an adjoining room, by firing through the partition, blew ott' tile top of Alexander's head. A conference of South Carolina Re publican* were in secret session in Park er's Hall last week. It is absolutely impossible to obtain the slightest infor mation, as the reporters have been ex cluded and guards are stationed at all the approaches. There are whites and negroes in the meeting. In tearing away the other day a part of the wall of the old Btllimore home of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, the workmen made an interesting discovery. This was the massively built and hidden vault in which Mr. Carroll stored his papers and valuables. It contained an oak cabinet, all its drawers and pigeon holes labeled by Carroll's own hand. The public debt of the State of Texas is not very Inrge, and there is a "cash balance'' in the Treasury amounting to betweenBl.OOO.OOOand $2 000,000. which may he used for the purchase of out standing State bonds, hut the bond holders refuse to surrender for less than $1.40 on the dollar, a higher rate of credit than has ever been enjoyed, we believe, by any State in the history ol the Republic. There are now living in Douglas, Mass., five widows by the name of Chase. Four of them are over 70 years of age. One'isafew days short of 88 years, another is almost 82. Tiie young est is about 50 years of age. The two oldest married brothers, and two others married brothers. Two of the husbands have died this winter, one at the age of 87, and the other almost 92 years. Four of the husbands were farmer*. Look on this picture and on this; The Pennsylvania Railroad says; "We have no intention to make claim for compensation for courtesies extended to the late President and his family or to the Government. We felt it to be not only a duty but a pleasure to do what we could to increase the comfort and aid in restoring the health of Pres ident Garfield." The doctor* who at tended the President want $2-7,000, more or less, apiece for their service*. They ought to be paid *ell, of course ; but the greatness of their demand is in sharp contrast with the smallnessof the demand of an alleged "soulless" corpo ration. —.Si. Louis Globe Itemoerat. The conductor of a West-bound Lake Shore freight train, which had just left Erie, discovered that two men had broken into a box-car loaded with val uable freight. He succeeded in fasten ing the door, and at the first opportuni ty telegraphed to Ashtabula for officers to tie at toe station. Arrived at Ashla bula the officers ami train hands found that the men in the car had sawed the door and were preparing to esoajte. Seeing the demonstration to arrest them the men in the car suddenly drew two revolvers each, and began to shoot rap idly. Their fire was returned and some twenty shots were exchanged. Tne of ficera managed to secure one of the thieves and speedily handcuffed him. The other escaped and fied to the woods. He made his way toSaybrook, a small village, a few miles distant, where he was captured while hunting a doctor to dress bis three wounds. .1 Candidate for the Scaffold. a TOC.VQ LADY or RKADIXfI ASS.ICI.TKD nr A SCOCNDREL.

She is a respectahte girl and a member of the family of Wil liam 8. Humbert, No. 338 South Third street, a well known citixen. The young man wore a slouch bat drawn down over his face. When the girl reached home she was in a great state of agita tion, and had the pistol in her hand. Hbesays she could not describe the man other than the above, as she was so ter ribly excited, and was afraid the ruffian would follow her. The police authori ties were notified of the affair nnd are investigating it, but as yet have made no arrests. Josh Billing* Heard From. NKWPOBT, K. 1., Aug. 11, 1880.
