The Democrats of the New York Legislature are out in a long address about the time that was consumed in electing successors to Conkliug and Piatt It is true a good deal of time was consumed in choosing new .Sen ators, but wlmt causes the erring brethren to write so bitterly is the fact that they are ''mad'' becaupe the 1 .legislature was not adjourned, bo that the election of Senators might remain ojn for further contest .

Last Thursday the carpet and cur tains and drapery in the room of President Csrtield were removed by order of the doctors. The old fash- oned way was to have the floors of houses uncarpeted. The action of the doctors in uncarpeting the lloor of the sick chamber of the President will raise the question in the contry at large as to whether or not it wonla ; be better f-r everybody to return to the old fashion and have no carpet on the floor of their houses. It would be a little hard on the carpet, manu facturers ; they would be closed up liy the want of sales. If the Presi dent held his ofri.c for life, instead of for a period of four years, all of the officials would now be lifting the car pets in their bed cbamlx-rs.

There seems to be no way out of the uncertainty, for three months have passed without developing any resemblance to the father in either case : !indir the children grow up, as they seem likely to, with the phys ical cbara.'teristics of their mothers, nobody will ever know their exact parentige. The present agreement is to decide the question by lot" Thk following uncommon proceed ing is reported by dispatch from Providunce, R. I., under date of last Friday: The Rev. W. F. Whitchen, pastor of the Maithewson Sireet Methodist Church, lias been charged with pnrioining rare looks from the various public libraries. He called the board of his church together yes terday evening, confessed himself guilty of grievous sin, expressed the deepest contrition thtrefor, and an nounced his intention to retire from the ministry and the church. PnoFEssoa Lvnolev, a scientific man, declares that, the light of the san is blue, and that the apparent glaring fiery color is caused by the atmos phere of the earth. He has gone to Mount Whitney, in California, to demonstrate the fact of Lis theory. M ! AxxiETT concerning the health of President G.uiield has caused the postponement of a proposed banquet to Minister Noyes. A farmer's family, numbering even person, were drowced uear Chase burg Vernon couoty, Wis., during the storm there on Friday last. The water at that point it four feet hirrher than it Bits ever been Before. The Philadelphia Record of last Friday says : Guiteuu's bad example is apparently beinj followed to some extent Tlicre is no telling how many imitators of his species of crime may spring up in different parts of the country before the thing is over with. The President cannot be shot at any more just now, and so the cranks go gunning for Govern ors. We are told that Governor Pills bury, of Minnesota, was marked for assassination by a crazy man who spent several days lurking about the Executive premises with a musket, trying to get a pop at him. Coming close upon the report that attempt was made on 'Wednewlay to get a chance to shoot Governor Cornell at Albany with an unloaded old-fashiou-ed gun, the incident suggests the j propriety of "a sharp lookout on the part of this class of public fimction ariesv Inconsiderate and unreflect ing persons inny be inclined to ridi cule the danger to which Governor Cornell was exposed as wholly imag inary ; but, if such scoffers will only reflect upon the fatftl execution which 1 1, i .1 i i i a the more old-fashioned and dilapida- ne tmuKs was 3 to, in a chest in one of the rooms of the second story. This was done sometime on Friday afternoon last. On Monday evening following Mr. il. had occasion to go to the room where he bad put his mouey, when he discovered by the appearance cf the furniture that someone had been there. The chest in whicL the $45 bad been placed wasopeD and its contents scat tered over the room, the drawers of a buieau open and their contents thrown open the floor, while the pockets of all the clothes in the room were turned insida out. One of the windows was raised, showing that the burglars bad entered at that point. Suspicion points to parties in the neighborhood as the burglars, who evidently knew Mr. II. bad received his check and had it cash ed. This is one of a series of burglaries committed in the vicinity of Linglca toTO if ithin tbe last six weeks. Oo Friday be22nd day of July Mrs. Nancy VVise, Wifeof Henry Wise, of Rabcr murder fame, in Lebanon ooun ty, was bitten in tbe left foot by a snake. She with three small children was on the second mountain picking huckle berries, when the fangs of the snake were driven into tbe top of the left foot cansing tbe blood to flow freely. She walked to ker home a distance of a mile aod a half, and upon her arrival there, kind neighbors applied poultices made of white onions and snake cab bage, besides powwowing, affording her relief. She is still confined to bed but will soon be able to move about. Some days ago as Mr. T.

After passiug, be got off his horse and killed the rep tile, when it proved to be a pretty old customer, having twenty. five rattles. While M. D. Youcd was walking in a grove near Sinking Spring, Lebanon county , with two of bis children, they were attacked by a copperhead snake over four feet long. Had it not been for a little dog one of the children would have been bitten. The dog at tacked the snake and killed it, but was severely bitten in the nose and died from the effects. In a bee tree cut down near Somer set recently a nest of black snakes was found. Dees and snakes eutcred by the same bole and the latter made them selves at home by eating of the honey.

A Sheriff's pouse is pursuing them." The Work of a Confidence Man. The work of the confidence man in Hunt ingdon is tlius rel.ited by the Huntingdon Journal of List week. Kead it, and profit by the unpleasant experience of Mr. Deck er : Our honest farmer friend, Andrew Decker, of Henderson township, was made the victim rtf sharpers m the day that pWb eller & Doris' circus exhibited at this place, lie was standing at the corner of Fourth and Penn streets, when he was approached by a well-dressed, affable stranger, who soon succeeded in insinuating himself into Mr. Deckel's confidence. The stranger repre sented himself to bj a sewing machine agent and that he was desirous of purchas ing land in this vicinity for his sister-in-law, who, he said, had money to invest. Mr. Decker g ive all the information he could to the gentleman, and talkvd with hnu nntil they almost ceaxed to be strangers. After their acuaintauce was established to the satisfaction of the agent, lie told Docker there was a very fine horse over at the cir cus which he was very anxious to see, and suggested to Decker that he should go along over, aud lie readily consented to accom pany the agent. On the river bridge at the foot of Fourth street they met a man whom the agent seemed to know, and whom be addressed as Judge and expressed great pleasure aud surprise to aco him. An invi tation was extended to the Judge to go back to see the horse. lie could not do so, he said, as he had come down from Hullidays burg with his family and had left them over in town and was jmt on his way over to look after thetu. He added, however, that he niiht possibly return before Decker and the agent would leave the ground, and, if so, would see tbeiu. The latter then went on to the circus ground and bad been there but a few minutes when tbe Judge made his appearance. Mr. Decker had been inform ed in tbe meantime that this was an ex- Judge from Blair county, a man of very high character and standing. The three went together in search of the horse. They met a man who seemed to be connected with the show and of whom they made in quiry, lie told them that the horse bad just been taken from the ground, but would be brought back within half an boor and advised them to wait. As a means of pass ing tbe time nntil the return of the horse, the showman introduced a game played with cards, the name of which Mr. Decker, of course, does not know. The agent turned a card and won five dollars. Then Judge then turned one and met with equally good fortune. Mr. D. declined to take any part in this game and remains ignorant of what his luck might have been. This amusement having coma to an end, the Judge com menced talking about his business here at this time. His statement, in brief, was that he was engaged in the temperance cause and was establishing ageucies for the dis tribution of temperance literature, tracts and books ; that be wanted to open an office in this town aod procure an agent to attend to business, and that he would like to find a good, responsible man for this po sition. There was to be a profit of five hundred dollars to the agent out of tbe busi ness. Mr. Decker was asked to accept the ageney, which, after obtaining a fall under standing of the matter, as be thought, he concluded to do. He was then informed that it would be necessary to furnrsfe some evidence of his responsibility, or, m other words, to put up a sum of money as a guar antee of tbe faithful performance of his duties, which sum was fixed at one thou sand dollars. Mr. Decker said he hadn't that amount, but could get eight hundred dollars by going to banx. The agent came at once to his relief, stating that hisr the agent's, wife was in town and had some money, and that be would go and get two hundred dollars of it to loan to Decker to make np the required amount. This was very clever and pleased Decker very much. Decker then started to the bank and soon returned with his money. The agent re turned about the same time. Both of them laid down their money on the table and the snowman gathered it cp. Decker was kept in animated conversation and his attention held for some moments. He then turned to look for the showman, but he teas got. Decker was surprised at his disappearance and made some feniirk about it. The Judge pretended not to findersUnd what it meant and seemed also to doubt the honest inten tions of the showman. He was greatly cha grined at the turn affairs had taken and that be had been tbe means of getting Decker into this unfortunate situation. He said thac he felt that the loss ought ta be his own, that he would refund the money out of his own pocket, that Decker should not lose one cent. Decker was struck with the fairness and honesty of all this. But the Judge said be could Dot pay it that day, that he hadn't the raoney with him, but that if Decker would wait until the 13th of Au gust he would meet hira here and every thing would be mado right. Decker was satisfied with this very reasonable proposi tion, agreed to wait until the Hay appoint ed, and left the Judge with that understand iiiir. He came over to town again and his suspicions began to return, and soon after, meeting his son Henry, told him w hat had occurred. Henry pronounced the transac tion a swindle, and informed tbe police officers, who went with him to the show and soon found the man who had tbe money in his possession. They inloriued hnu of what would occur if he did not disgorge, and the man's discretion overcame his love ol money and he handed the eight hundred dollars to the officers. So arrests were made. Mr. Decker is financially whole again and has had a great deal of vt-ry val uable exjrience without it costing hiiu a cent. l.vviooKATiXG Foou for the Brain and Nerves is wLut we neetl in these days of rash and worry.
