Affairs in Ireland are assuming a
Vy bad shape. Instead of improving,

The English capitalists who were
only too glad to believe that the United
States was going to fall to pieces, and
only too eager to Invest in Confederate
bonds and thus help on the Confederate
cause, have been meeting to consider
what can be done to realize something
on those bonds. They may consult and
plan, but they may be sure that they
will get little sympathy and less money
from this side of the sea.
The monotony of the voting for
Senator at Albany was varied on Thurs
' day by one Senator charging that he
had been bribed. He asserted that he
had been offered $2,000 to vote for
Depew and that the money was paid
and he had given it to the Speaker. The
anti-Conkling men deny the charge and
assert that it is a trick to drive votes
from Depew who had gained such
strength as to make it seem that his
electiou was probable. It certainly does
look that way, as no politician above
the grade of an idiot would offer money,
much less pay it out, in such a bungling
manner. A committee of investigation
was ordered, and one man swears that
the charge is true and the man accused
swears that'it la false. If true, it is to be
hoped that evidence will be brought
forward to make it clear.
Millersville School Troubles.
Another difficulty has broken out
between the faculty and students of the
State Normal School at Millersville, and
is causing a good deal of excitement. A
number of the students are charged
with violation of the rules and organlz
', ing for the purpose of coercing the
faculty. A meeting of the faculty was
i Jield a few days ago, and the Principal
the school has been instructed by the
"v stees to take a hrm stana against the
jflt of insubordination. In pursuance
-A2-4..resoh4jU of the faculty, J. W.
Coates, of Lycoming, has been expelled,
and J. B. Hippie, of Mt. Joy, suspended.
As a result of this action a meeting of
the students was held on Tuesday even
ing, when between sixty and seventy
resolved to leave the school. Early
Wednesday morning 149 of the students,
headed by a band, took up their march
for Lancaster, where those who were
leaving the school took the cars for
home. A banner bearing the inscrip
tion "Free Speech" was carried at the
head of the procession. They were
'y cheered by the students who remained
. at the school by the waving of handker-
chiefs on the part of the ladies and the
V cheers of the gentlemen. It will not be
surprising if the school . is entirely
broken up.
r -xv- A Very Large Check.
Philadelphia, June 8. President
Roberts, of the Pennsylvania railroad
company, yesterday paid to the commit
tee of Boston shareholders $14,949,052.50,
the amount of money due on the Phila
' delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
"""'TufrVstook bought by the Pennsyl
.vauia railroad company. The money
'was not due until July 1st, but the
present financial condition of the Penn-
yylvanla road being good it thought
wise to anticipate the payment. Sub
scriptions to the allotment of new stock
authorized at the last annual meeting,
together with the late heavy earnings
and the surplus on hand June 1st, fur
nished the necessary funds. The money
was paid iu New York by means of a
certified check on a ' New York bank.
Besides the $15,000,000 of stock, the
Pennsylvania road has also purchased
and paid for $1,000,000 more, bought
from persous other than the Boston
syndicate, and has distributed si mm
June 1st, $2,600,000 among Its stock,
holders in the shape of dividends. The
Pennsylvania railroad will not take
formal possession of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore road until
July 1st, when both roads will be oper
ated under the tame general mininge.

A Strange Journey.
Middletown, N. Y., June 7. Five
or six years ngo 1 turns Miller, a well
known farmer of Mechanlesvllle, uear
this city, Just before retiring placed in
his eye what is known as au eyestone.
The next morning, as the stone did not
drop from his eye, he supposed that it
hnd dropped out while he was asleep.
He searched about his bedchamber, but
could not find H. Several weeks ago he
discovered a hard lump on the eud of
the little finger of his right hand. Ills
friends told him that It was a wart, and
advised him to let it alone. About a
week ago it became painful, and he
began picking it. He soon saw that
there was a hard substance under the
skin, and by continuous picking he
produced his long-lost eye-stone. Mr.
Miller examined the stone so carefully
that there can be no mistake. He
recollects that some months ago he ex
perienced an aching In his right wrist,
and it is supposed that, the stone was
then moving toward the end of the
finger. It is a mystery how this little
bit of carbonate of lime made that jour
ney through Miller's system without
being absorbed.
Talking at Long Range.
A new kind of telephone has recently
been patented in Europe under the name
of electrophone, that has shown some
remarkable results. At a recent test of
the machine on the line between Calais
and Dover, words whispered in the appa
ratus at one end were not only heard
at the other, but the listener was also
able to distinguish by the tone and de
flection of the voice who the speaker
was. This experiment was carried on
over one wire, while the others were
used for the transmission of ordinary
telegraph messages, and at a time in the
day when they were in constant use.
The inventor maintains that by the use
of the electrophone it will be just as
easy to talk across the sea by means of
the submarine cable as from one room
to another.
Mysterious Mischief.
Boston, June 8. A special dispatch
from New Bedford, Mass., says that nu
merous outrages have occurred near
Westport and in Little Compton and
Triverton, It. L, several parties having
had hay stacks burned and cattle poison
ed. A short time ago the well of Ed
ward Howland was poisoned, resulting
in the death of a boy and the severe ill
ness of three other persons. Lately
other parties have lost horses and cattle
by poison. It Is stated that the people are
afraid to testify against the party sus
pected, who has not yet been arrested.
CSTWhen the excellence of rice as a
diet is fully understood its use will be
more frequent and of daily occurrence
in every household. At this season of
the year especially, it may properly bo
classed as superior to any of the cereals
which are in such general use for the
morning and midday meals. No other
food is so easy of digestion, and at its
present cost it is cheaper than potatoes,
oat-meal or grain-grits of any kind.

then one of them bluntly refused to act,

adding that he "would not help bury a
Homu'jpatli, nor would he let a Honuu
opath help bury him."

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, June 8.1S81.,
The reports from Albany are not hopeful of
any speedy solution of the dead-lcck though It
Is staled that the admlnietratlonlsts are show
ing more disposition than heretofore to con
centrate upon candidates. The Democrats are
in a etato of disgust over tho discovery that if
they had been watchful yesterday thoy might
have elected a Senator. The record showed
that there were only 100 members presont.
With merely this number In attendance a Sen
ator could have boiu elected with only 51
votes, which Is loss, by three, than the full
Democratic vote. In order not to be again
caught napping, the following circular was
Issued last evening to tho Democratic members
of the Legislature : In view of the fact that
exigencies may at any time arise in the pend
ing Senatorial struggle, we earnestly recora.
mend that the Democratic members abstain
from pairing, and to far as possible avoid
absence from the session of the joint con
vention." The effort will ba made to day to
elect Mr. Depew for tho long term. Tha plan
now is to push him ahead till it Is determined
whether It Is possible to elect him or not, and
in the event of failure to drop him and takjt up
some other man. The muddle ls becoming
more complicated than ever, each faction
seems afraid to make a move for fear the other
will derlvo tome Immense advantage.
Tho report Is again revived of a contemplat
ed alliance between the Democratic and Oreen
back members of the next House to secure Its
organisation. Undoubtedly secret correspon
dence and conferences have been hold with a
view to such a combination. This fact has
been known for several months. There Is no
doubt either but that some of the Greenback
members-elect and prominent Democrats are
heartily In accord In their views favoring such
a coalition, aud that they Intend to consum
mate It If possible. Strong efforts are being
made to capture the Districts vacated by Mr.
Frye and Levi P. Morton, as the loss of even
one or these will leave the Republicans with
only 140 members, or a minority of one. There
Is no possibility whatever of their succeeding
lu Mr. Frye's District, but they have perhaps
some chance of getting a member in Mr. Mor
ton's place. But Republicans doubt It much.
After all, the success or failure of the plan
depends upon tho action of the two readjuster
members from Virginia and of Bmith, of
Brooklyn. Democrats believe that If Virginia
goes Democratic Fulk'erson and Paul will be
found among the regular Democrats In
Congress. Hon. Mr. Smith will vote no one
seems to know. About all that can be stated
with any posltlveucss Is that a determined
effort to organize the House will be made by a
coalition of Democrats and Oreenbackers If
there Is any prospect whatever of success.
The Treasury Investigation is nearly through
with. It has been about settled that the
charges at first made public cannot be sup
ported by the facts developed. No pnblic
olllcer has been found to have enriched him
self, nor can any dealers be found who have
been unduly profited. But there has been
looseness enough to warrant changes of some
of the olll.-lals.
