The Rev. Lyman Abbott, editor
of the Christian Union, bnptlzcd in
Farmington, Me., a few weeks ago an
Infant (laughter of the young wife of
the Rev. Jonas Burnhnm of Farming
ton, who is eighty years old.
A writer in the New Orleans
Timet who has talked of late with
many negroes in the disaffected dis
tricts of Louisiana says that the mania
for emigration is rapidly increasing
and threatens ultimately to result in
half of the colored men of the State
going to Kansas.
Mrs. Ellis, of Ithaca, N. Y., has
In her house a large room the floor of
which is covered with sawdust and
witli two leafless trees and many bam
boo perches in it, where she keeps
more than a hundred canary birds,
raised from a singlo pair which she
bought a few years ago. She can
identify almost every bird and tell its
nge.
Representative Murch of Maine
says that the Maine green backers will
renominate Joseph L. Smith, their
last year's candidate, for Governor;
that they Mill ignore any coalition
with the Democrats, audthatthey will
make an out-and-out greenback plat
form, and then if the Democrats want
to stand on their platform and vote for
their candidates they can do so.
It is said of Haynes Hinman,
living two miles east of Utica, who
died recently, aged sixty-six, that
although possessing the faculty of
speech, he had not uttered two con
secutive words for fifty years. When
sixteen years old, hearing his father
swear at a member of the family, he
mode a vow that he would never speak
again. This vow was kept for seven
years. He then met with an accident,
Which bruised the fincrers of hln loft
hand, the pain drawing from him the
exclamation, "O!" On but one other
occasion was he heard to speak.
This time the word "See!" was called
forth by a snake that crawled ovr n
sleeping child. A column might be
nueu by a recital of Hinman's excen
tricities. Some of his devices to avoid
conversation were crafty in the ex
treme. He was a close student, and
he has left a voluminous diary during
ms sixty years of silence. He left a
fortune of $24,000 to a nephew, with
the admonition "Keep your mouth
shut."
It will be seen bv the hiirhlv Im
portant report of Treasurer Noyes to
me estate benate. regarding the condi
tion of the treasury, that then, is mi
actual deficit of over two millions of
dollars, and that the outlook is any
thing but encouraging. With this
startling exhibit of the financial con
dilion of the State, is it not time for
the Legislature to halt In its mad ca
reer and introduce the most, rigid
economy? The present session has
been enormously expensive, because It
lias been continued twice as long as
there was any necessity for it, and
many wild schemes have been in
dulged In which only increased the
burden on the treasury without any
corresponding benefits. In addition
to this enormous cost, the greater part
Of the sessson has been spent in trying
to devise some plan for taking several
millions of dollars out of the treasury,
apparently without any regard as to
how the money was to be raised. If
some plan is not speedily devised to
raise money to meet the present deficit,
the treasury will be in a most lamenta
ble condition, and the great State to
which we have always pointed with
such pride .will be virtually bankrupt.
The time has come for action on the
part of our law-makers. Williams

Death of General James Shields.
Ottumwa, Iowa, June 2. General
James Shields, late United States Sen
ator from Missouri, died suddenly in
this city at 10J o'clock last night. He
had appeared in his usual health on
Sunday, and ate a hearty supper at C
o'clock, after which he wrote several
letters, but just before retiring he com
plained of a pain in the chest, and
shortly afterward said to his niece that
he was dying, and in thirty minutes
expired, sitting in his chair, remaining
unconscious to the last. He lectured
in this city on Wednesday evening
last, and had remained here visiting
relatives. His remains will leave here
as 5 o'clock this evening for his home
in Carrollton, Missouri.
Twenty-seven Children Poisoned.
Boston, May 29. An Island Pond,
Vt., dispatchtates that there have
been nine deaths so far of children who
drank from a poisoned brook, viz:
Edward Morse lost twoof his children,
John Aldrich three, Fred. Simpson
one, L. Wilson one, Mr. Park one, and
John Cole one, the others cannot live.
Potato tops poisoned by Paris green
were also thrown Into the brook, caus
ing the belief that the latter Is the
prim cause more -than the carcasses
of dead animals. There is terrible
distress here. Work is suspended, and
there is great excitement. Another
dispatch states that twenty-seven
children were poisoned by drinking
from the brook, and that the farmer
who allowed the carcasses to be thrown
into it will be arrested. The bodies of
the dead children soon decomposed,
and had to be buried forthwith..
Island Point, Vt., May 30. Two
more children of John Aldrich died
from drinking water from (he poisoned
brook, making 6 his entire family.
Mr. Aldrich is insane.
1 Washington Letter.
From our regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, April, 2
The Ways and Means Committee of
the House has reported a resolution to
adjourn June 10, and a great many
people wish Congress would take it
self off at that time. But I guess it
won't. The general impression among
members of botli houses is that some
days or weeks longer will be re
quired, especially as no definite plan
has been agreed upon for disposing of
the appropriations. Baring the pas
sage of the Warner silver bill and the
veto of the legislative bill, the situation
with reference to business is pretty
much the same as it was a week ago.
There has been a good deal of inter
est here in Ohio politics for some time
past. Indeed, it looks almost as though
the Washington end was rather run
ning the machine. Up to the meeting
of the Republican convention there
was a strong impression here that the
Governorship question would finally
settle down to a contest between Sher
man and Thurman, but the nomine
tion of Foster changes the aspect of
things. The Interest of Presidential
candidates is what complicates mat
ters from a Washington standpoint,
and, as far as Ohio is concerned, the
Grant movement has received acheck,
while Sherman "takes the cake," as
the boys say. It is an Administration
triumph. Secretary Sherman is the
Administration candidate for Presi
dent. His friends and theAdminis-
tration's friends expect to see him
beat Grant fortlie nomination. Blaine
is doing positively nothing in the
matter of his own candidacy. He
says he came so near the nomination
once that he Is sure lightning cannot
strike him. If the nomination should
come, he would no doubt be very glad
of it, but he will not incur animosities
and subject himself to the annoyances
and the anxieties of being a candidate.
Of course his friends will urge his case
as they did before, but I really do not
believe that Blaine has any hope for
himself. He thinks Sherman is stalk
ing ahead very rapidly. Pennsylvania
is no doubt for Blaine, but what will
the Camerons do? Until Sherman be
gan to loom up as a candidate,' Don
Cameron was heartily for Blaine, after
Grant. He has been disposed to be for
Grant against everybody, but now ho
may switch around and go for his
uncle, John Sherman, in whose house
he courted his charming wife. But
Don will never try any more of the
Hartranft business. The probability
is that he will be for Sherman first,
then Grant, and then Blaine. He has
given up Conklingasan impossibility,
Ramsdell, of the Philadelphia Times.
relates the following anecdote about
Don and Blaine, which will be under
stood by those who remember how Don,
by main strength as it were, kept the
Pennsylvania delegation from voting
for Blaine in the Cincinnati Conven
tion, when two-thirds of them were
for him, and a few votes would have
nominated him : The other day, when
the recommendations for the appoint
ment of a Pennsylvania Judge were
ready to be sent to the President,
Blaine, Don and another Senator, who
shall be nameless, stood together in the
Senate Chamber, one of them holding
the envelope addressed, "The Presi
dent, Executive Mansion." A page
stood near at hand ready to take the
recommendation to the White House.
The nameless Senator, who held the
envelope, placing his hand the young
Senator's shoulder aud said: "Don,
Blaine ought to be in the White
House receiving papers bearing that
address." "Yes," answered Don, "and
he would have been if I had not been
a d d fool," and he and Blaine
shook hands on it.
One of the well-known women of
Washington is Mrs. KateSprague, the
beautiful and accomplished daughter
of Chief Justice Chase, who married
Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island,
when the Spragues were wealthy and
powerful. She is now living here at
"Edgewood, "her father's suburban
residence, and seems destined to al
ways occupy public attention in one
May or another. Last year she suc
ceeded in getting a bill through
Congress exempting this property
from taxation, and also won a
lawsuit of some sort here in the Dis
trict courts, Senator Conkling appear
ing as her attorney. Now she has
Just won another suit, the circumstan
ces of which have caused considerable
comment. A photographer sued her
for a bill of $55 for photographs and
views taken to illustrate a biographical
sketch of her father. The photographs
were made by her order and submitted
for her approval, but she placed the
financial responsibility uion the au
thor of the biography. The photog
rapher sent the bill to her husband, ex
Senator Sprague, who replied that he
had nothing to do with Mrs. Spraguo's
bills. The court refused to give judg
ment against her on the ground that
a married woman is a nonentity in the
District, and cannot be sued. It com
plicates matters somewhat, as the
position that she does not own separate
real estate don't consist exactly with
the exemption of a fine piece of prop
erty from taxation because the owner
of it is a woman, and the daughter of a
man the country has loved to honor.
Mrs. Sprague was the observed of all
observers in the Senate gallery last
winter, aud, altogether, her caeer bos
been a 'ittle notorious. General Sher
man accompanied her In her recent at
tendance at court. Don Pedro.
