Kcniy i. rnrtcDB, Jr., - . liltrr THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1879. General Grant and 1880. There Is a proposition before the Louisiana .Constitutional Convention to prevent any minister of the gospel from becominng a member of the Stat Legislature. At Buffalo Lake, Dakota, there is a Presbyterian church of fifty-five members, all full blooded Dakota In dians, with the Rev. Mazawacanayana, or Iron Thunder, as pastor. Governor Robinson, of New York, has signed the bill providing that the acknowledgment by married women of deeds and other written Instruments may be made In the same manner as If they were single. General Robert C. Schcnek. ex- Minister to England, has received the largest payment yet made underthe Arrears of Pensions act $4,625. For a wound in the hand he has been re ceiving a pension of $30 a month. Bishop Hemirlcken (Roman Cnth lie) of Providence, R. I., who con firmed 340 children last week Sunday, availed himself of the occasion to warn them against dime novels and kindred sensational literature in gen era!. State Senator Jonas II. French, of Boston, has given $307 his entire miv ' and mileage during the late session of the Massachusetts Legislature for the relief of the families of the lost sea men at Gloucester, Mass., and Rock port, Me. The desire to restorethe whipping post is so strong in Kentucky that in some counties candidates for the Leg islature are compelled to pledge them selves to sustain the measure. The object is to save the expense of keep ing convicts in prisons. There are 450,000 Odd Fellows -under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the United States. As a rule the benefits of t he order are wisely and economically distributed, and the $20, 000,000 disbursed for the relief of the members since 119 have doubtless done a great deal of good, much more good in fact than that amount could do If dispensed in charity, properly so called. In this State the order Is par ticularly strong, and does its full share of good work. It numbers SS9 lodges and 85,801 members, and spent for re lief last year about $300,000. The "Moses" of the negro exodus is Benjamin Singleton, known among his followers as "Pap" Singleton. He is a little old man a mulatto over seventy, with wavy, iron-gray hair, square jaws, full, quick eyes, and a general expression of honesty, courage and modesty. He was born and raised a slave in Nashville, where he worked in early life at cabinet mak ing, and from whence he was sold more than a dozen of times, always re turning to his old home. He finally fled to Canada, but soon found his way to Detroit, where during the war he kept a sort of boarding house and a refuge for fugitive slaves. It is related that after Mr. L. Bradford Prince had received his ap pointment as Chief Justice of New Mexico among the first persons whom he met in Washington was Miss Plough, the daughter of an ex-Chief Ju tiee of the territory. She was very entertaining, and gave him much val uable information On his way to the territory Mr. Prince took a seat along side of a fine looking man, who also proved to be from New Mexico. After a long conversation Mr. Prince men tioned his meeting with the ex-Chief Justice's daughter, and asked his com panion if Colonel Slough was living "No," replied the stranger, " I killed him." The information was fouiid by Judge Prince to be correct. Life in St. Petersburg is anything but dull. Every day" there is some thing new to talk about. One after noon in April a lady and gentleman were walking arm-in-arm toward the Vosnessenski bridge, followed by another gentleman. The lady looked around uneasily several times, and on arriving at the bridge leaned over the parapet to look at the canal. In doing this her hat fell in. Instantly she fell in after it, but was speedily rejoined by her pursurer, who after a brief struggle, brought her on shore. It then appeared that the " lady " was a young man iu disguise, who belonged to the Nihilist conspiracy, and that the man who jumped In after him was a member of the secret police. The " lady's " companion was also arrested. The Boston Pilot learns of a new plan to relieve Archbishop Purcell from his iinancial embarrassments, and says; "An important step has recently been proposed to relieve the venerable archbishop whose fifty years of apostolic and disinterested labor appeal strongly to ever Catholic heart first a movement to get three thous and wealthy Catholics to subscribe each $1,000 payable in instalments of $100 a year. This would make a total subscription of $3,000,000. The whole amount of the debt would thus be completely wiped out In- ten years. We are authorized to state that arch bishop Williams of Boston will sub scribe to this amount, and will be ready to pay the first $100 when the first one thousand subscribers are in sured. We learn from the West that Bishop Fitzgerald of Little Rock, Ark., ha tl put bts nam Vwn for V.O0Q. Washlugrtou Letter. Fiom our rrgular t'orreipundent. Washington, D. C, MayjtlOth. When my last letter was written the general belief here among the Demo crats and Republicans was that the 'anti-bayonet bill," as It Is culled, would be signed. The President had said so to several persons, and there was hope that this branch of the present complications would be speed ily settled. Now everything is up side down again, and no living being can tell what is to be the result. Politics and politicians are about as uncertain as anything cau be In Ibis world. The only opinion I accepted prior to the veto was the one expressed by a mutual friend, who said the speech to be delivered by Senator Edmunds would forecast the President's action upon the bill. Time certainly verified the prediction. It's a pretty rough state of ailitlra for us scribblers, who soolteu find it necessary to know a day or two beforehand about what is coming. All I can say about the present situation is that, having got his hand in, the President will proba bly keep on vetoing, and the Demo crats say vetoes are going to be mighty common. What will be done about the appropriations, or how soon the session wiil be brought to a close, can not be foretold. There is some talk of a recess for ten days. The grave and reverend Senators are talking away at each other on various subjects. I know some strangers In Washington who went to the Capitol the other day to hear Senator Ed munds speak, and returned express ing much dissapointment. I could have told them that uluiunds is not an orator; but his speeches read well. Speaking of Senators, It is, according to my observation, that no woman, however young, Inexperienced or vain, is nearly so easily duped by flattery as a hoary-headed statesman. He never seems to suspect a woman (however hardened he may think he is to the wiles of female lobbyists), if she is of respectable appearance, has a reason able amount of tact, and is not pos itively ugly, of any other motive in seeking him than to enjoy his society. Wherefore, the woman who seeks him with a purpose, and possescs the re quisite above named, whether her purpose be marriage, blackmail or lob bying, is almost sure to succeed. The new Senators are even so oblivious of the real state of afl'airs as to rather make a boast that such a charming woman called on me at the Capitol to day, and didn't she say prettv things to me, and tell me how much she had heard of me, and how desirous she had been to meet me." I have quoted actual words from a solon. Could any schoolgirl bo more unsophisticated ? Yet the remark was made while the papers were filled with reports of the Oliver-Cameron case. A young man prefers to be the seeker, and rather feels a repugnance toward the woman who pays court to him, while he is of course flattered by her preference. But the man over fifty never chants "The fruit that will fall without shak ing is too mellow for me," but accepts a woman's attentions as the most de licious of flattery. Thackary 's proverb was, "As vain as a man." Had he lived here he would have amended it to "As vain as a Senator." A rather desperate opposition has been made to the Warner silver bill by the Republicans, under the direction of Secretary Sherman, but it is likely to become a law. The proposition is to provide for free coinage of the silver standard dollar, and placing silver on the footing it held from 1792 to 1873. Individually, I think a majority of the people of the country are in favor of the proposition, and I cannot com prehend the advantage to any party in laboring for its defeat However, this is not the only thing upon which people honestly differ. Montgomery Blair is credited with the intention to begin the publication of a Democratic organ at Washington on the 1st of next month, in which he will show the country what an organ ought to be. None of the organs now printed seem to please the peculiar tastes of Mr. Blair. Some people re member that he started an organ at the Capital about three years ago, but it got lost somewhere in the confusion of the time, and it is probable that not even its proprietor knows what became of it. Democrats generally are pretty well pleased "With the Pont, though it dont pretend to be an "organ." There is no doubt nhnut its Democracy, though. Zach. Chandler threatened to sue the proprietor for libel in reporting and commenting upon his speech in tho Senate last Saturday, but he has abandoned the idea. I guess Zach. was a little "off his pins" that day. Dom Pedro. Flowers iov Everybody. ie:tes. HCKS CHS APES.

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 iu every instance the BEST raper in the place. When printed In 'APITALS it is the ONLY paper in the place. When printed in liomau letters it is neither the best nor the only paper, but is usually a very good one, notwithstanding. The list gives the jiopulation 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 by th list are enumerated. It is an Honest List.
