A dispatch from Europe indicates that the Pope will poon leave Italy and take up new quarters in Ger many. The probability is that the report is not well founded. The water in the Mississippi and its tributaries was uncommonly high last week. Houses and fences in many places were swept away. Peo ple and cattle were drowned. The National Board of Health having declared that small-pox is epi demic, it is no wonder that foreign nations require all ships coming from the United States of America to lie 60 many days off port before lauding passengers or goods. rnESiPEjrr Arthur sent the name of Rosco Conkling to the Senate for the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench.

Spring is approaching, and the In dian, that has been taken care of and kept comfortable in his wigwam, is preparing his war paint for a bloody summer excursion against the settlers. The Blackfeet Indians have already gone out on the war path and slaugh tered a lot of people. The Supreme Court of Pennsyl vania has reversed the judgment of the Dauphin County Court and the members of the late Legislature will thereby get five hundred dollars each, more than they had received. They had been paid $1,000 each, but they demanded $500 extra pay. The Su preme Court gives it to them. Both Houses of Congress, the President, Justices of the Supreme Court, Cabinet officers, the General of the Army, the Admiral of the Navy, Newt-paper reporters, and as many other people as could get tick ets of admission, assembled in the hail of the House of Representa tives at Washington last Monday, to listen to the memorial address on the life and character of James A. Gar field, by James G. Blaine. The reform movement in Philadel phia did not sweep William McMullen off his politic-d ieet. He withstood the tide, and his successful election to a city office was made the occasion of a grand Democratic jubilee in his ward- The billy, club, sling-shot and pistol were freely used among the re joicing host A city paper calls it an old fashioned Democratic jubilee. No one was killed, bnt quite a number of the participants were hurt The jury Gxer question is not dead ; it has in fact not yet been fairly brought before the public The ques tion is just being fairly put under discussion in the cities. A city paper hays that it is a fact that jurors have come to a decision by " tossing up a penny," and by a u game of cards." Once the qnestion is fairly started and put before the country it will be come apparent that in no thing in the country is reform needed 60 greatly as in the machinery of the Courts. There are men in this coun ty of Jauiata. in Mtffiintown, that de clare that they can name men that nay that bargains, political and busi ness transactions have been conclud ed by certain men promising to put the names of other certain men in the jury wheeL How to conquer England without a war, has been stated by a geologist -His method of conquest is to freeze out the English. The geologist sslvb that it is the Gulf Stream that keeps England from becoming a frozen re gion. To turn the Gulf Stream from i;s present course is all that will be ueressary to freeze out England. A c inal 8 JO feet deep across the Isthmus of Panama would give the Gnlf Stream another direction. The canal of that depth across the isthmus would not cost more than the war that crushed oul Rebellion. Shall anal be made and England froze cut T Thx Supreme Court of Pennsylva nia in its decision in favor of a day pay, instead of a fixed sum for a session of the Legislature has brought upon itself a closer scrutiny by the people, and the press than at any other period of time. The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette (Rep.) says: "The most conspicnons question raised by this decision is, whether it is pos sible for the people in their pri mary capacity to frame an organic law that cannot be so disregarded by the Legislative branch and so misconstrued by the judicial de partment as to defeat the very pur twees they sought to accomplish. Was there a single member in the last Constitutional Convention who did not understand perfectly well that the section in regard to legisla tive salnry contemplated a fixed sum, and not compensation by the dayt Had any one predicted that in less than ten years the Supreme Court would decide tliut under the section theu adopied the Legislature might lawfully sit as many days as it cared to re.uain in session at ten or twenty dollars a day, who of all the mem bers of the Convention would have believed him ? Yet this very thing has come to pass. Olher reforms that the people fondly imagine they have secured by modifying their or ganic law may be defeated by the same method of interpretation, and when the end is reached there will hardly be enough substantial gains to mark a single step forward in repre sentative government The Media .Inericnn of last week says : During Tuesday and Wednes day of last week Senator olvertan. a present Democratic candidate for Governor; ex-Senator Dill, the for mer Democratic nominee for Gover nor ; Charles S. Wolfe, late Indepen dent candidate for State Treasurer, and Mr. Mopes, the original chairman of his committee, met together in Philadelphia, and unless all signs fail a conclusion was reached at their conference with which all who take an interest in public affairs should be made familiar at once. Mr. Wolfe's open statement to some whom he met that he and his friends, regardless of any action by the Republican State Convention, would place in the field a third and independent ticket for all State officers, and in each Senatorial district where Senators are to be elected, and in each of the 201 Rep resentative districts will place third and separate nominees in the field, tells the whole story to those familiar with the contemplated effect of this action. The design of Mr. Wolfe, so confessed, is to defeat the Republi can candidate for Governor. Lieuten ant Governor, Secretary of Internal Affairs, Supremo Judge, and to com pletely chauge the political character of the Senate and House from Re publican to Democratic. The onlv Independent who could possibly be elected would be Mr. Wolfe himself, provided as many Democrats as voted for him last fall in Union county do so again a doubtful provision, when thev have no popular home candidate for Judre on which to trade. This is a big programme. The Supreme Court decision, re versing Judge Pearson, of Dauphin, and coneeediug the fifty days per diem pay to the members of the Leg islature, must, of course, stand as the law in the case, as there is no further tribunal for appeal ; but in any other sense, it appears to be neither the law nor the logic of the case. Noth ing can be more certain than that it was the intention of the Constitution of 1874 to limit the pay of members of the Legislature to such fixed round sum per session as should be pre scribed by law. This is an nnforta nate decision. It costs the State ! 125.000 now, and opens the door in the widest way to the waste of a mil lion in the near future. Public Led ger, Feb. 22. As important case is now claiming the attention of the Fayette county courts. The case is stated by dis patch to a city paper as follows : It is the case of David Torrence again.it Cochran, Keiirter and Co. Torrence is a farmer whose land adjoins the coke furnace operated by the above company and he has brought suit to recover damages, which he says his property has sustained bv the pres ence of the coke works. He alleges i'rnt the smoke from the ovens has so affected the surface of his land as greatly i damage its productiveness lor agricultural purposes. He states that not onlv is grass crop made lighter, but" even tiiit which does crow is so vitiated that the eflMs of the smoke and soot ae perceptible in f the milk and butter that come from , the cows which graze on his farm. He lays his damages at $5,000. The case has been in progress two days, aud a verdict is expected to-morrow. This is what a St Louis paper said last week : For nearly a month some ot. Jjouis men uaa been in corres pondence with Marshal Henry of the District of Columbia, in regard to the proposed donation of a roje and cap for Guiteau. The cap, which is of the finest material, was made espe cially for Guiteau by Gumbert The rope, which is three quarters of an inch in diameter and of the best workmanship, was made by Bob Humphreys, having for its special object the encircling of Guiteau's neck. Bob has made all the ropes that have ushered out of existence all St Louis' murderers in the past de cade. He has been present at all executions and takes special pride in knowing that when a rope leaves his hands and is placed about the neck of a criminal it is not the fault of the rope if he has not a sure and quick transition to that country from whose bourne etc., etc. Yixelaxd, N. J., is having a social excitement over the cowhiding of a prominent Democratic politician by a 200 pound girl. The politician is" also a lawyer. The report is that a sister of the girl was insulted by ob scene pictures that lay about in the lawyer's room at the hotel where the sister was acting in the capacity of chambermaid. The lawyer says that if obscene pictures lay about in his room, they must have been put there by persons unknown to him when be was out ; he declares it a set-up job on the part of the girls to blackmail him. He has brought suit against the 200 pound girl for whipping him. Trade dollars are down and made over coin. to be melted into standard Di.S0Eitous foolishness of College boys is explained by a dispatch from Hinovcr, N. H-, under dut of last Thursday. The dispatch says : Dart mouth College has observed Wash ington's .birthday, suspending all ex ercises. The freshmen class went last night, by special train, to Mon treal, where "they will have a class supper this evening. Just before their departure last night one of their number, Arthur Lucas, of Albany, N. Y-, who had been selected to respond to the toast "The Class of '81," was missed. Being unable to find bini the class went on without him. Lu cas arrived in Hanover this morning from White River Junction, and ex plained that last night while passing through the college yard, he was seized by a party of sophomores, wearing masks, who took him to a team near by and jour oi tne party drove huu to w kite Itivir l unctiou, where he was kept at a hotel nntil this morning. The sophomores did not hurt him and furnished him his fare home, but made him promise not to divulge the names of his abduc tors.

Deadwood Letter in the Pioneer Press. A very peculiar proceeding was re lated to me to-night affecting a gal lant officer of the army, brother of a lieutenant at Fort Meade, and one out of which an interesting romance might be woven. I do not care to give the gentleman's name, but will state that he is a nephew of a promi nent Union general of the rebellion period and ex-member of Congress. A year or so ago he became enamored with a handsome and accomplished Eastern lady, wooed and won her. Their honeymoon was all that loving hearts could make it and their future gave promise of great and continu ous happiness. The lady was blessed with more than ordinary musical tal ent but uncultivated, and to perfect the divine art she was sent abroad by her husband. She visited the various conservatoires of the Continent and finally located in Paris for two years' instruction. While there she was reported as being very sick, and soon afterward the terrible announcement of her death reached Liennant by cable. He at once directed that the remains be embalmed and re turned to America for burial, which order was complied with ; but as the grief-stricken husband was unable to go Eiist he reqnested a friend in New York to receive the casket and cause its interment in Greenwood. This was done. Subsequently certain in telligence reached the widower of a character that aroused his suspicions and caused him to hasten to the b-jii tiful cemetery overlooking the harbor of New York, where the remains weie exhumed, the casket opened and found to contain the decaying body of a man. An investigation was at once instituted and resulted in establish ing the fact that the wife had eloped with her music teacher, first causing a report of her sickness and death to be sent to her far-away home, and in corroboration of it had secured a corpse from Morgue, which was sent as her own, with the result above stated.

Burglars operated nearly a whole evening on the safe of William H. liuss, in south Uethlehem, and se cured one dollar for their trouble. The small son of Mrs. William Spidle, living in Montgomery town ship, Franklin county, fell into a well a few days since. The mother, in her excitement, dashed her infant to the ground and jumped down the well. A ladder was lowered after her and she came up nnhurt with her boy in her arms. The baby was also unhurt The Methodist churches of Johns town are engaged in a three months' revival with unabated interest One evening recently an old man, seventy years of age, who gave his name as George Schifferent, was foundjsticking fast in a snow drift near Salisbury church, in Lehigh county, and was with difficulty re stored to consciousness. He could not tell where he lived, and was re moved to the almshouse. School directors in the western counties are very stringent in their orders concerning the admission of children to school from families in which there hod been small-pox, 30 days being the limit when they can enter after the disease has- disap peared from such houses. Paul Boynton, the great swimmer, James G. Blaine, and his brother Robert, were all students at St Francis College, Loretto, Cambria county, in their youthful days. STATE ITEMS. Chicken pox is raging in Lock Haven. Scran ton has had eighty-fonr cases of small-pox, fifteen of which proved fatal.

Lebling, a very poor woman of Latrobe, Westmoreland county, who was recently left a sum of money by a relative in Germany, has received the first instalment amounting to $19,000, and $10,000 more is expected in a short time. Mrs. Mary E. Stocking, wife of Jaints E. Stocking, Esq., one of the editors of the Washington Observer, died at her home, in Washington, Pa., on the 3d ult, of small pox, in the 37th year of her age. The State line between Pennsylva nia and Ohio has recently been sur veyed and is now being marked by stone monuments which project one foot above the ground. They are set four feet deep, and are dressed to a point and appropriately inscribed. The high trestles on the Bell's Gap railroad have been done away by cutting the road around the hol lows where the trestles are situated, following the ridges. A great deal of cutting and filling was necessary bnt the work is now completed, with in a few hundred dollars of the origi nal cost of the trestles.

A Montgomery connty farmer met with a sal disappointment a few days ago. While cleaning out a stable he suddenly Rime across a bright new $5 gold piece, and had scarcely put it into his pocket until he found an other. Thinking he had struck a-ver-itable bonanza, he dropped the second into Lis pocket but was surprised that he was not greeted with the an ticipated jingle of the coins. On in vestigating the matter he found a large hole in his ixx-kct, from which the coin had originally made its way, in company with several others, which he was unable to find, and he sud denly awoke to the fact that in place of being $10 richer he was consider ably poorer than he had been a few hours before.

Three toolUh young fellows undertook to dance at the grave of a former young com panion a few days ago at Lawrenceville, III. The friends in attendance drove them from the cemetery, and arrangements were sub. sequently mtde to lynch them. Becoming alarmed, Ibe young teen attempted to make their escape in a leaky boat, and alter hav ing traveled down the river several miles ibe boat sank, and they were compelled to swim ashore. The ingbt was cold, and their dead bodies were found next day at a point near where they had landed. Mrs. Sarah H.

A maiden lady of Charlotte, Mich igan, who amassed a fortune as a mil liner, built a row of business houses in that city which she has named "Old Maid s Block." Lieutenant Hayes, who lost his life with General Custer at the time of that fearful Indian massacre, left two orphan sisters, who are now in Washington in destitute circumstan ces. They have been making under clothes for ten cents apiece in order to buy bread. While a party of young men were firing a salute at Lancaster in honor of the Democratic victory in that city on Tuesday a week, the cannon ex ploded, instantly killing Frank A.

A mass of earth, weighing at least fifty tons, fell upon Joseph Shaffer in the O'Donnell quarry at Tredyff- nn, Chester county, a few days ago. His whole body was covered, with the exception of a small space over his mouth, through which he breath ed. After thus being confined in great agony for nearly one hour he was released. Marylanders are sometimes preco cious. A lad of seventeen and a girl of fourteen were married recently. The youthful bride had not long be fore obtained a divorce from her step father, who is sixty -five years old.

A Connecticut lady carried a piece of glass an iocb long in her foot for fifty years but a doctor took it oat few days ago, as it began to make trouble. itHfROH OLD SHOES. From the New York Post In tbe course of the investigation by Mr. Hill's census deputies some singu lar industries were brought to light. It was found, fur instance that some 040 was made of old shoes, bat exactly what use was hard to find oat. Large numbers of old shoes were sold by rag pickers to'certiio men who disposed of tbetn at a good price. It is well koowo that bits of old leather make tbe com mercial article known as Prussian blue bat only a few firms manufac'are it, and tbe new call for shoes was evident ly for some other purpose. In New York city and Brooklyn about three million pairs of old shoes are thrown away every year. Formerly old shoes were plentiful in tbe gaiters of certain neighborhood: now it appears that they are sought after as choice prises in ibe rag picker's line. By dint of persevering inquiry it was discovered that tbe old shoes were ud for three purposes. First, alt shoe not complet ly worn oat are patched, greased, and after being otherwise regenerated, sold to men wbo deal in such wares. Some persona wear one shoe much mure than tbe other; these dealers find mates for shoes whose original mates are past bope. Secondly, the shoes nut worth patching up are eat into pieces; tbe good bits are used for patching other shoes, and the worthless bits, the soles and cracked "uppers" are converted into Jamaioa roia by a process known only to tbe manufacturers. It is said that they are boiled in pare spirits and allowed to stand for a few week, tbe product far surpassing tbe Jamaica ram made with essenees, burnt sugar and spirits. A gentleman wbo doubt ed the truth of this story stopped re cently at a low grog shop in the neigh borhood of the factory spoken of and inquired if tbey bad any ram from old shoes. 'No' said the barkeeper we don't keep it much now; the druggists, who want a pure article, all sell it, and tbe price has gone up. Bat we have bad it, and we can get yon some if yea wsnt it." How many old shoes go to a gal lon of ram could not be ascertained. STATE ITEMS.
