Among the shipments to Europe by the
Walthnra Watch Company was a lot of
200 stem-winding watches, by order of
the British Government, for the use of
conductors and engineers on the State
railroad of India. This order was ob
talned In direct competition with foreign'
manufacture.
Owing to the numerous applications
for registered 4 per cent, bonds of smull
denominations, the treasury department
has been unable, with all the clerical
force which could be employed thereon,
to fill the orders ns rapidly as received.
Purchasers of the bondB should under
stand, however, that Interest will run
from the date of payment for the bonds,
and not from the date of their Issue, and
that the little delay from time to time,
on account of suddenly increased or
ders, will result In no loss or Injury.
ItrssiA has eighty millions of people
and eleven thousand miles of railway,
while the United States has forty-five
millions of people and eighty-three
thousand miles of railway. But not a
single railway can be found in this re
public like one In Russia, on which It is
said a regular train is only run twice a
week ! The difference Is In the spirit of
the two nations. There Isn't a line of
railway in Bussla that earns a profit,
and most of them do not pay expenses.
The case Is similar In British India.
An awkward but somewhat amus
ing case to everybody but the parties
Immediately Interested is reported from
Farmington, Fulton county, Illinois.
There was an election for police magis
trate there on the 15th instant. The
eminent respectables took no interest in
the same, so the bummers, for a joke,
elected one Thompson Fountain, who is
just out of jail. Now these influential
citizens who did not vote, aBk the Gov
ernor if he will withhold the commis
sion of a bummer's choice if a majority
of the citizens of the town will address
him a remonstrance. The Governor
does not see how he can interfere, and
will probably intimate to the citizens of
Farmington that they will have to put
up with the jail bird magistrate. Mor
algo to the poll and do your duty.
TitK Potter Investigating committee
is showing up a very disgraceful state
of public morals in Louisana. Bo far
they have only succeeded in showing
that most of the witnesses called are
persons of little character. A lot of
chaps once before swore that certain
things happened, while others swore
they didn't. And now those who swore
things didn't happen, swear they lied
before, while the other chaps who swore
they did happen, now swear just as
positively that they didn't. How the
public is to be benefited by stlring up so
much moral filth we are unable to un
derstand. It does prove that missionaries
are more needed in Louisana than they
ere in Central Africa, but the country
is paying a high price for the Informa
tion. An absurd story has been published
throughout the country to the effect that
the Grand Army of the Republic; was
about to " re-enter politics," and had ar
ranged " a slate to cover all the offices In
New York State." The commltte which
was supposed to have charge of the mat
ter stopped In Philadelphia on their way
to the encampment at Gettysburg to de
ny the story, and to say that " the
Grand Army of the Republic Is not in
polit'cs, and does not propose to get In."
That this is true, no one who has a su
perclal knowledge of the membership of
the order and of its work will seriously
question. The members- represent all
political parties, factions and cliques,
and they find no difficulty In working
harmoniously together, simply because
there is no partisan politics la Grand
Army work. The several Posts find
enough to do in caring for the widows
and orphans of their late comrades and
for those who were disabled during the
late war, without attempting in any way
to control or influence partisan political
appointments. ,
Trouble Prophesied.
New YoitK, July 24. A Wllkesbarre
letter in the Tribune gives the conversa
tion of a gentleman engaged in manu
facturing in one of the northern counties
of Pennsylvania. He says the chances
are we shall have much more serious
trouble within the next two months
than that which came upon us so unex
pectedly Inst summer. Preparations are
belug made fur ft simultaneous strlkeall
over the country, on railroads, at mines,
and In many of the largest manufactur
ing establishments, and nothing but the
utmost vigilance on the part of the State
authorities and such preparations as
will make It possible to crush out such a
movement Instantly will prevent one
of the worst calamities that has ever be
fallen this country. The 15th of June
had been actually fixed for the strike,
and the outbreak would certainly have
taken place then, or soon after, but for
the preparations made to preserve the
peace by Governor Hart run ft when he
called out the militia and made arrange
ments to obtain uniforms And equip
ments for them at the Franklin arsenal.
Those who were to have managed the
strike called a commit tee meeting at Phil
adelphia and voted to postpone the at
tack until the 15th of August, when it
was hoped the country might be taken
by surprise. A Chicago representative
of the strikers, on his way to New
York, stopped over at Hornellsville and
said to his friends : They ought to
take the property of the rich, aud they
ought especially break open the banks
and take all the money and divide it."
Tramps Seizing a Train.
The large party from Northampton,
Westfleld and other places along the
line of the New Haven Northampton
Ball road had an otherwise enjoyable ex
cursion to the Sound Saturday spoiled
on the return by outrages unparalleled
in this section. When the train reached
Cheshire, Conn., at night,lt was boarded
by a gang of forty or more roughs, said
to be from the Southlngton rolling
mills, beside several tramps, who, by
flourishing revolvers and other weapons,
overawed both excursionists and train
hands. They uncoupled the rear car,
which was filled, and the train had to
run back a mile for it. Afterward they
stopped the train several times by pulling
the bell cord,and divided themselves into
four gangs, each of which took posses
sion of a car and ruled with a high
hand. Both men and women were
struck by the roughs, clothes were
snatched from the person aud kept, and
the women were otherwise insulted, and
many of them fainted from fright.
Among the women they abused was
the mother of Superintendent Yeamaus,
and the men were powerless to avenge
the affronts. In the front car, however,
where there were less of the gang, a few
men headed by Editor Converse of East
hampton, pitched into the roughs and
cowed them. Several of them who
chanced to be separated from the rest of
the crowd were caught and thrown from
the train, and a few left at Southlngton,
but most of them kept on as fur asPluln
ville, where they got off. As it was. the
train was four hours running to West
fleld. It Is said that many of the roughs are
known to the conductor, and the road
probably take measures to arrest
them. Certainly it is bound to do so.
Sumner's regular train south two hours
before was served in similar style, even,
it is said, confining the conductor in the
baggage car, while they ruled the train.
A somewhat similar ,but less aggravated
aflUlr occurred in the same vicinity on
the last year's excursion. Springfield

Shrewd Trick of English Thieves.
A fashionable dressed man went into
Hunt & Boskell's large jewelry store in
Bond street, London, selected articles
worth $4,000 and tendered a thousand
pound note In payment. Mr. Boskell
ascertained that the note was a forgery.
As he was about to Bummon assistance,
a cab was drawn rapidly up and two
men in police uniform hurriedly enter
ed, saying that the man was an old
offender of whom they were in search.
Directing a porter to place the jewelry in
the cab and to come along with them as
a witness, the men in uniform said that
they would inform the firm when their
attendance would be required to press
the charge. Then they drove off with
their prisoner, leaving the jewelers loud
in their praises of the proficiency of the
polloe. Next day, however, their porter,
brutally beaten, returned with the infor
matiou that the two supposed police of
ficers were thieves in disguise.
A Singular Tiansactlon.
One of our vigilant contemporaries
mentions a suggestive fact and its ex
planation lu the following terms :
" A London journal very naturally
thinks it a singular coincidence that on
the same day, the 10th instant, $500,000
of sliver should be. shipped from Liver
pool to New York and $250,000 from New
York to Liverpool. The larger amount
Is understood to have been destined for
the United States Government, while
the lesser was leaving the market in
which the Government might naturally
be expected to buy. The explanation
appears to be that the bullion dealers on
this side, finding the Government had
to buy, put up silver to an abnormally
high price ; when the Secretary of the
Treasury applied to the Rothchllds for a
price, and, on receiving an offer below
the terms of the home dealers, purchased
$2,000,000 from the London bankers.
The Secretory deserves credit for having
opened his transactions in silver with
this plain intimation to silver dealers
that they cannot compel the Govern
ment to pay an artificial price for sil
ver." A Horrible Marine Mystery.'
, San Francisco, July 23. The
schooner Parallel reports that on the 7th
Inst., oft the coast about ten miles north
of this port, she fell in with a Japanese
junk. There was not a living person
aboard, but a number of corpses were
found, some shackled together. They
must have been dead a month at least.
Some of the bodies were dressed in
costly material. There was no food on
the vessel.
A Bill to Punish Vagabonds.
Concord, N. H., July 24. A bill for
the punishment of tramps passed the
House to-day. It provides for punish
ment by imprisonment of from fifteen
months up to five 'years, the former
penalty being provided for any person
proved a tramp.
A Very Strange Suiolde.
A speclul dispatch to the Times from
Capron, 111., says: "A dramatic suicide
oceurred there on Tuesday night. Geo.
W. Burleigh, a barber, published a card
last Sunday Informing the citizens that
he would on the evening of the 23rd
inst. deliver a lecture in Thornton hall
and at its conclusion shoot himself
through the forehead. The price of ad
mission would be one dollar and the
amount realized to be invested in the
works of Huxley, Tyndall and Darwin
for the town library. At the appointed
time the hall was crowded and after de
livering an infidel lecture of wonderful
power he suddenly drew a derringer,
placed it to his forehead, fired and fell
lifeless Into the arms of two friends."
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, July 25, 1878.
Goneral and Mrs. Fremont, who have
been here for some months, have gone to
their new home in tbe West with cheerful
happy hearts. The General could not have
chosen a more agreeable oflioe for himself
than that of Arizona's Governor. As for
" Jessie." she was born to be a belle, though
a most unpretentious oue. She is a favorite
wherever she goes, with youcg and old
alike. Her hair is now snow-white and
she rolls it back a la Martha Washiugton.
Her expression is tbe same sweet one that
wou her so many friends years ago, aud
her hands are still as dainty and wonderful
as when Vinuie Beam modeled them in
marble in her youth.
That General Fremont's circumstances
have been much reduced is true, but that
he has been living in absolute penury and
has been obliged to sell bis furniture, pic
tures, &o., is iucorrect. His present salary
is $3,600.
Tbe Fremont family is a very genial,
happy one. Tbe little escapade of the
oldest son recently, when be anticipated
his weddiog day by six months and married
his lady-love on the sly, was but a repeti
tion of his father's little game, and modifi
ed at that. The General took bis Jessie
fioni her oh amber window and effected a
first class elopement. Tbe older parties
appreciated tbe younger ones Impatience
and love of independent action, and ac
cepted tbe situation with veal cordiality.;
Tbe changes in the New York Custom
House form tbe only bit for political dis
cussion of late. Republicans are depressed
by it and tbe Senate members feel particu
larly put upon, aud are reported as medita
ting retaliation upon the administration
next winter. ,
Congressman Levi Warner, of Connect
icut's 4th Distriot, has lately published a
letter declining re-nomination, which has
called forth numerous comments concern
ing the honorably gentleman, some of
which are as amusing as tbey are charac
terietio. Warner is represented as the
personification of country innocence, utter
ly devoid of worldly wisdom. Of course
the storieB of his doings are distorted and
exaggerated. It seems that directly npon
his first arrival here bo full into the hands
of lobby lets and sold his influence in two
days' time for $2,500. By voting for the
payment of the Southern claims, and
against tut) Bun hard resolution he made
not a few enemies, and those are they who
cieci&t-s that Levi voted both ways on the
Bland Silver Bill J that his neighbors had
to tell him when it was time for him to
leave home for Washington ; that be
boarded the wrong train at the start ; and
that arriving here at the Bigg's House, be
shook hands with the head-waiter, saying,
"How do you do Mr. Biggs?"
Nothing is so delightful to the world in
general as personal gossip concerning pub
lio people, and especially conoerniiig politi
cians. Rumor is still busy with Senator
Conkling and his prospects. It is said
that the Administration is determined to
undermine him and oust him from the po
litical world, and that the recent changes
in the New York Custom House was a
move for that effect. Tbe best , hope , of
Conkling is the fact that New York appre
ciates bis statesmanship and prefers to bold
J one who she knows to be a strong man in
position, rather than run a risk of being
represented by a weaker one. , ,
Congressman Smalls, of Beaufort, S. C,
was met with a Doe ovation from the peo
plo of his District upon bis return borne a
few weeks since. Commenting upon it tbe
Cbnrlestowu "Courier" says : " It Is per
fectly astonishing to witness the Increasing
Influence of this negro. He Seems to pos
ses the confidence of his race to a degree
that no other block man may hope to at
tain. Tbe men, women and children seem
to regard him with a feoling of worship."

tW Mr. Perkins was a Boston widower,
having lost two wives. Miss Carlton was
a spiritualistic medium. She went into a
trance, and the spirits of the two doad
wives, speaking through her, said that she
and Mr. Perkins ought to marry. Of
course Miss Carlton was astounded, after
coming to herself, on being told of the
communication she bad delivered, but she
was willing to obey. The ceremony was
performed the next day.

t2T The two young men of Valatie, in
York state, who quarreled about a young
lady, and determined to settle their rivalry
with pistols, but after reaching the Meld
threw away their pistols and fought with
their fists until one cried enough, may have
made fools of themselves, but tbey showed
more sense than if they bad shot at each
other, and perhaps finished their quarrel as
a tragedy instead of a farce.
