Paul Boy n ton left Galllpolls last
Friday. Just above there, a country
man took him for a water animal and
leveled a musket at him. Boy n ton's
cries saved his life.
When the news reached the
Pacific coast that- the President had
vetoed the Antl-Chluese bill, flngs
were lowered at half mast and public
meetings called to denounce the Presl
dent's course.
John C Howard, who died last
week In Paris, Ky., was the tallest
man In the state, being six feet and
eleven and a half inches high. He
weighed two hundred and sixty-seven
pounds. His parents and children
are all more than six feet high.
No tidings have yet been received
of the fourteen fishing vessels which
went out from Gloucester, Mass., to
the George's banks, and the feeling is
generally prevalent that the entire
number went down with all their
crews in the severe gales of lost month.
The Legislature of Arizona is
abusing Its power of granting divorces
of the marriage tie by enactment, and
there Is clamor on the Pacific coast
for Congressional interference. None
of the State Legislatures have such a
power. The State Constitutions all
prohibit divorces except through the
courts, and it is thought that there is
no reason why this should not be the
case In the Territories also.
Before Colonel A. Louden Snow.
den took possession of the mint in
Philadelphia, there was a general ins
pection of the building, when the cash
on band, bullion, and so forth, was
counted up, and formally transferred
to him by the retiring superintendent,
Hon. James Pollock. The money on
hand was found to amount to the sum
of $4,309,126 99, which was duly re
ceipted for by the new superintendent.
The debt statement issued Satur
day shows the following increase of
debt for February : $311,411.24, cash in
the treasury, $447,292'498.48 ; gold and
silver certificates, $1,987,680; United
States notes held for redemption of
certificate of deposit, $46,100,000;
United States notes held for redemption
of fractional currency, $8,519,741 ,
called for bonds not matured for which
four per cent, bonds have been issued,
$216,628,200 ; outstanding legal tender
notes, $346,681,016; outstanding frac
tional currency, $15,976,412.34.
The Dime savings bank of York
has suspended. The following notice
was posted on the door: The demand
npon the Dime savings institution
during the past few days having been
largely in excess of possible collections
the trustees have been advised by a
majority of the stockholders, Injustice
to all depositors to proceed as promptly
as possible to collect its outstanding
maturing paper in order that there
may be the least delay practicable in
meeting its liabilities. The liabilities
are not yet known, but it is supposed
the bank will pay 75 or 80 cents on
the dollar.
Samuel Hunter, age fifteen em
ployed as a cart driver at the Bessimer
steel works, Pittsburg, was found dead
Thursday evening. Circunwtances in
dicate that he was murdered. Thirty
minutes after he left the company's
tables his dead body was found on the
rfver bank, his face and body was cov
ered with cuts and stabs and bis head
badly crushed, as though some blunt
weapon had been used. John Lawler
and Martin Murray, with whom Hun
ter had quarrels a short time ago and
who threatened him with vengeance
have been arrested on suspicion and
will be held to await the coroner's In
vestigation.
Mr. Blockfan, superintendent of
the foreign mails, is in receipt of
Information from Thomas C Mont
gomery, of Rochester, New York,
that a letter mailed there on the 9th of
last December, has accomplished the
circuit of the globe in eighty-seven
days. It left San Francisco December
11, Hong Kong January 17, London
February22, and arrived back at Roch
ester March 6. This is the fastest
time on record, and probably the best
obtainable without an acceleration of
the- speed of steamships and loco
motives on the routes traversed, the
letter Laving exactly hit every one of
the connections.
Mr. Tilden is now hard at work
arranging for the campaign of 1880,
and there is no longer any doubt but
what he will appear in the Democratic
national convention as a-formidable
candidate for nomination. Smarting
under the defeat of 1876, and lamenting
the vast sum of money that be expend
ed he- determined to make another
effort to regain what he lost on that
occasion. The Democrats are divided
as to whether he is the best matt' they
should take or not, but the prospect
ef the large sum of money that he will
put up has a powerful influence with
many of them and they may yield
there objections for the sake of seeing
the contents of the fresh "bar'l" put
in circulation.- On the other hand
the Republicans are exceedingly anx
ious that Mr. Tilden should be the
standard bearer again as they feel con
fident that the odium of his last cam
paign will be sufficient to overwhelm
ingly defeat Ilim; in other words they
eonsfdfcr him the weekest man the
Uemocrata could put up and will not
Washington Letter.
From our regular oorreipondeut.
Washington, D. C, March 11, 1879.
The forty-fifth Congress has ended
its career and gone down to history.
On account of the political issues in
volved In its last acts, the closing days
were rather exciting, and attended by
larger crowds than usually interest
themselves in the winding up. In
fact both day and night sessions for the
last three days have had packed
galleries and Tuesday morning when
tho last hour approached there was
not standing room anywhere within
sightor hearing. The Democrats seem
to have astonished themselves by the
pluck displayed in the determination
to force a repeal of the supervisors law,
and they have thereby carried their
point to the extent of securing an
extra session, with a majority in both
houses. It was generally believed that
they would weaken at the last moment
and accept a compromise, the Senate
having offered to repeal the test oath
and omit the posse comiatmus clause
of the Array bill if the supervisors law
was permitted to stand. But the
latter is what the Democrats were
chiefly fighting against, and they
stood firm. Mr. Springer was obliged
to abandon his committee's proposed
impeachment of Minister Seward,
because the Republicans proposed to
filabuster the session out in his defense,
But it does really seem, from the
evidence, and from his refusal to
produce the books upon the ground
that they might criminate him, that
Seward must have deserved what he
just missed getting.
The scenes at the lost night session
were interesting, but very different
from what was witnessed last June,
when the last night especially in the
Senate, was but narrowly removed
from a drunken carousal. Perhaps
the memorable notoriety that occasion
received served as a warning. In the
house, notwithstanding the partisan
feeling which pervaded both sides,
there was a remarkable absence of
personal animosity, on the part of
members toward their political oppon
ents. Conger, of Michigan, was the
most active and irritating of the antag
onists, against whose attacks the Dem
ocrats were all the time called upon
to defend themselves. But he and
Springer, of Illinois, whom he seemed
specially intent on annoying, were,
whenever they met in the isle, or when
they acted as tellers together, in as
amicable and pleasant a mood as if no
stinging sarcasms ever passed between
then. It was the same with Atkins
and Foster, with Southard and Gar
field, and with all the other mutually
hostile elements. On one occassion,
when Springer tried to get iu some re
marks out of order. Gen. Butler
planted himself squarely in front of
mm, ana aiscnargea a volley or "1
objects," each louder and more
emphatic than the one before; and he
kept at it until he carried his point.
And as he walked over to his desk
again he gave, as a reason for his de
monstration, that he was not going
to listen to abuse of a friend of bis.
There was less of tumult and uproar
than at most any other last night of
congress, ana tnere was not the least
sign of that hilariousness which has
sometimes characterized such night
sessions. The attendance of members
all through the twenty-two
hours of the sittng was quite
large, and when the vote indicated the
absence of a quorum it was generally
because members refrained from
voting. Some of the oldest members,
notably Gen. Butler, and Messrs.
Patterson and Townsend of New York,
were among those who shqwed the
least signs of fatigue, and after the
brief recess of one and three-fourths
hours they were the earliest in atten
dance. The Speaker was seldom out
of his chair, and he steered the House
through the sudden storms and quick
sands of parllmentary navigation with
great skill, tact, moderation and im
partiality.
The extra session of the Forty-sixth
Congress, already called to convene
March is, will very likely last until
June. There will be a livelv contest
among the Democrats over the organi
zation oi vne two nouses. vine only
necessary annroDriation that failed to
pass the now defunct Congress was
that providing for the legislative, ex
ecutive, and judicial expenses of the
overnmeni. rne proposition or tne
ienate to appropriate $J50,000 to build
national museum on the Smithsonian
grounds to receive the present col
lection of Centennial exhibits, donated
oy ioreigu powers, ana ine constant
additions from all parts of the world
that remain in unopened boxes, was
reeeded from. Something like this
ought to be- done, however, and some
ot these days, when all our teotle
don't feel so poor as now, such a pro
position may pass. The failure of the
Brazilian steamship subsidy to pass
the House surprised nobody aequain ted
with the situation. Lots Of people
don't agree with Blaine and a few
others that such a scheme would make
the country rich from trade with
Brazil, though nearly everybody can
see how it would nave been a good
thing for John Roach and his partners
Taking all things into consideration,
the lobby has not fared particularly
well at the hands of the retiring Con
gress. x nave not heretofore felt inclined to
criticise the action of executive officers.
But the Commissioner of Pensions has.
recently been guilty of so gross an
outrage upon right and decency, that
x cannot retrain irom paying nim
some deserved attention. He has
been urging upon Congress, with all
Els strength a radical change or the
pension laws, by which he proposes to
do away with the present examin
ing surgeons and mode of proving
Bp a pension claim, by dividing the
whole United States into districts, and
assigning to each one a surgeon and
clerk, before whom all claimants for
pension must appear with their
witnesses. This scheme is so impract
icable and so unjust towards soldiers
whose witnesses, sate hi rarest in
stances, are, if alive, scattered all over
the conntrv. that the pension attorneys
of Washington combined to defeat the
measure. Fot this be suspended some
sixteen of them from practice before
nis Department, ana puousnea in em
as guilty of fraud. Yet he had not a
scintilla of evidence in support of his
action, and his assigned reason was a
deliberate falsehood. The injured
men should subject him to the severest
penalties of the law. I shall ventilate
this matter more fully hereafter, for,
though ho has reinstated all excepting
two of the suspended men, yet a delib
erate wrong done, simply because one
possesses the arbitrary power to do it,
should he exposed in all its enormity.
It can scarcely be said that the
publio will be overwhelmed with
grief at the news that this or that
young woman, or the whole of them
in fact who are now striving in diffe
rent parts of the country to walk thous
ands of miles in thousands of days, or
perhaps hours or minutes we do not
feel greatly interested in the matter and
are not quite sure of the terms of these
matches has had two hundred faint
ing fits at the end of each of two hund
red consecutive minutes and has given
up the match, the chance of glory, the
gate money and a possible silver ser
vice. One young woman in Brooklyn,
we believe, has been attacked with
fits, and undoubtedly nine out of ten
of these misguided females have suc
ceeded in permanently injuring their
constiturlons, but good may come of
these failures in discouraging other
foolish ones from doing likewise. The
public is thoroughly tired of the busi
ness, and nothing less than a million
miles In a million hours, and by a lame
man at that, will now be able to engage
the public attention. N. Y. Pott.

SELECT LIST
OF
LOCAL NEWSPAPERS
Many persons suppose this list to be
composed of CHEAP, low-priced
newspapers. The fact is quite other
wise. The Catalogue states exactly
what the papers are. When the name
of a paper is printed In FULL FACE
TYPE it is in every Instance the BEST
paper in the place. When printed in
CAPITALS It is the ONLY paper In
the place. When printed in Roman
letters it is neither the best nor the
only paper, but is usually a very good
one, notwithstanding. The list gives
the population of every town and the
circulation of every paper. IT IS
NOT A CO-OPERATIVE LIST. IT
18 NOT A CHEAP LIST. At the foot of
the Catalogue for each State the Im
portant towns which are not covered
dv the list are enumerated. It is an
Honest List. The rates charged for
advertising are barely one-fifth the
publishers schedule. The price for
