MBS. JENES OF LOUISIANA. I am Mistress Jenks of the Sherman crew, And I mean to swear John Sherman through, , j. In spile of all that you can do; For I come from Louisiana, j , I am pretty well versed in politics, And the various sorts l neauy mis, For I'm fully up to all the tricks (Tbat prevail in Louisiana. fr fuw rcmorts are cut and dried. And Sherman himself the tale has tried, . .,. And it's hard to prove that I have; lied, Though I come. from Louisiana. So each august committeeman; ;'! , i Must keep as silent as he can, J ' . And let me proceed with the little plan Which I brought from Louisiana. la a short, set speech the case I state, And Sherman I fully exonerate v From all the wrongs, both little and great, i That occurred in Louisiana. Now, there you have it, and that's enough! 'Tis easy to see that I am up to snuff, And you needn't try to cut up rough With a woman from Louisiana. 2V. Y. Sun. "Kermesse." Paris Letter to Baltimore Sun. There is a charming suave and sim-1 Dlicitv with the ladies of jthe high 1 "social circles of France that no other I 'nnnntrff nan conmete with. J Lately 1 1 saw this exemplified in a way that most pleasantly impressed me. A fancy fair, ox "kermesse," was held in the Tuilleries Garden, and i the pre siding spirits were some seventy of the most distinguees ladtesLpMParis society. It was the creme-detdereme meeting of the season, and every thing and everybody seemed to make it a brilliant, sunny affair. A theatre built of floweTs, the platform only hems? visible boards. On this the most I popular opera bouffe singers ap- peared, and made life one day longer and brighter. Many celebrated actors and actresses performed, 'and from the Theatre Francais a galaxy of stars came forth to delight and inter est. These performed in another theatre, constructed after the design of the one on which Moliere in his early day acted. j L addition to theatres, there were "merry-go-rounds, wheels of fortune, revolving horses of wood, and puppet shows of endless variety. The grace? ful and loyely Princess Pdniatowski presided at an American j bar, and made some of us roar with laughter at her assumed knowledge of "mixed drinks," and doling them out at ten; francs a glass! She is very witty and j full of jokes, many good western ones overflowing with spice, and spirit. She was dressed a la mode de Tria non, and was the belle of the fete. The Duchess de la Rochefoucalt and the Princess de Leon played the part of milkmaids, and actually milked the enstalled cows, to the amazement of children and city dames. The dress; the cow-shed, and jthe entire picture at this spot was most rustic and attractive., "Only five francs for a glass of true milk!" the lovely princess would cry, and how, she sold the simple fluid! . I hear her receipts were 4,000 francs. A countess was a gypsy, a marchioness ia washer woman, and a princess a nurse. What spirit and grace f And j the men? Gustave Dore contributed sketches, Destaelle paintings, Protalis improm tu portraits, and Sardou music. The Princess Sajan sent a jewelled orna ment in diamonds and pearls that was estimated at $25,000, to be raffled for and lost, and we all smiled.' But the band played, laughed, and Charity . A scene in the Berlin Consreaa. The proceedings at the' European Congress were intended to be strictly private, but an American reporter who hung with his toes; from the eaves of the place where it is going on, and gazed into the f apartment through the open upper half of a win dow, gives the following account of the scene: "The upper part of the room was hiled with smoke. Bis- marck was shouting, Zwie lager. Jtians pnng along the peers, kweek!' 'Hi'll take hale, hif you. please,' said Salisbury, and Beaconsfield nodded, holding up two fingers. Andrassy took lager with Bismarck, and Gort schakoff was blowing something hot in a tumbler in which he kept a spoon slowly revolving. Beaconsfield felt in his pocket for some change, when Bismarck, with a lordly wave of the hand, gave the waiter a dollar bill, and was saying something about it being his treat, when the reporter's toes gave way and he hurriedly left." ww . ' A National Dlaerace. :' The St. Louis Republican says: 'It is a fitting rebuke to the white mem bers of the House Committee on En rolled Bills that the onW member of the committee who was sober enough to attend to business during the last night of the late ' session,; when they had by far the most important duties and grave responsibilities that had rested on them during! the whole eight months of the session, was a colored man. Joseph H. Rainey, a negro from South Carolina, was, ac cording to the reports, the only mem ber of the committee who was not drunk of those who were, nominallv on duty, and the exception ia AtAnn. pntinn ia ot creditable to his race and a reproof tof the - white men' who so shamefully neglected their work." George Eliot can put the word "egoism" linto her books as often Bh pleases, but when extracts containing it go into the newspapers, it ia spelled "egotism" " T he intelligent compositor learned it that .; way years ago, and he ia constitutionally opposed to fantastic orthography. He will putinthatut"if he has to swim in blood and float on curses to do it t He will tole rate no reforms in ' the " English language, and he keeps it pretty much as he wants it ; Ind.

Washington, June 25. ! Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, who is in the city, freely; expressed his disappointment at th0 failure of the Potter committee thus far to accom plish anything. He said that be sup- 3 t a ar i .

Up to this time, Gov. Hen dricks admitted, the (committee' had not been able to present any guch in turmauon. jorums reason he looks upon the inquiry as ill-advised and not calculated toj effect the object in View. Wov. - Hendricks said rf .-t.Ki- last Presidential election that all De mocrats undoubtedly believed that iur. liiden was fairlv elected, and that the party, through the machine- tj woBtracuoniOl xne H.ler.t.n ral Commission, alio wed that vitw to tnrn int xl.- T i ANOTIIEB KESTUCKT raaiumotb cv Eellpeed to tbe Ex- tent oV Deposit of niaminles. . wi -jJie ICjpcinnatl Commercial, ; Another wonderful ifscavet has ;, re cently been discovered near Glasgow j unction, ivy. y it. nag already; oeen explored for a distance of tweuty three miles in one direction, called the long ' route, and. sixteen miles in another direction, called the short route.

Theyr preseut every appearance of the Egyptian mummies. ureal excitement, prevails over in is verv important discovery. Mr. iLd- win Mprtimore, of -Chestnut . street, Louisville, Ky., purchjased? three of the mummies and has them now in his possession. Maj. George M. Proctor, of Glasgow J unction. 'y., purchased the remainder of the mummies from the owner of the cave, whose name is Thomas Kelley. He is. or rather was few days ago, a very.poor man,strug gling to make a payment on a farm of twenty-four acres, upon which, by mere accident, ' the entrance to this wonderful cave was discovered. He realized about 1400 from the sale of the mummies, and is now offered $10,- 000 cash for the cave. The entrance to the cave is within the town limits, and is only about two minutes' walk from the depot, which makes it very valuable indeed, as visitors will not be compelled to travel five miles in a stage coach, as they jdo if desirous of visiting the Mammoth Uave,which is five miles from this town. A LA Y SERMON. Dou't muzzle t be Ox. BY JOHN H.-3IILLS. Here comes an aged OXFOED. minister. lie t T has been sixty miles to preach people who pay him 25 cents for for his services, inow. it tne loru canea that man to preach, has he not called some other men to hold up his hands? The layman's call to support his minister is lust las loud as the minister's call to preach the gospel. Now, we do not believe in any man's religion, when he says the Lord has, by special favor. ! granted him a permit to accumulate and bold all be can in this lite, with the additional privilege of a dead-head ticket to heaven, when old age carries his body to the grave. .We believe that some people are elected to eternal life, and the Bible tells us exactly who they are. Those elected to a holy life here are elected to eternal life hereafter. Wheu a man tries to cheat the Lord out of a free ride to heaven tne .uevu gives mm a tree pass - Tv - a a m over another line.; We also heard of another case of iniquity. A min ister preached many years to a pros perous congregation and died with $500 of bis salary due. The brethren gave him a grand funeral and four long obituaries in the denominational paper, and called it square, vv bat a shame! It was their duty to pay his salary before they made so much fuss at his funeral. What Judge Tuurman Saja. New York, June 26. A. TT 1 " -a a a a a jueraia coiumbus special says that Senator ; Thurman stated that the Democratic party was never in a better condition for a contest this fall. Their record i in Congress had been excellent. They had done much work, aud of that : character which must be acceptable, to the people. They had strengthened their - claims upon the people. They had strengthen ed their cjgims '.upon the people's5 support by the j passage, of the silver bill, and1 by stopping the contraction of greenbacks, which was in effect the same as the vr vuv icouhivuvu BVh auu uc creased the expenses of the Govern- ment. He was satisfied that the Pot ter investigation would do the Demo cratic party a great deal ot good, as long as Hayes' title is not assailed. Resolutions will be adopted indorsing the action of Congress in relation to the Potter' investigation and Hayes title, and thoroughly indorsing the President's Southern tolicv on the ground that it is a strong Democratic doctrine. ; u ; Becaeaafleld's) Frencb.

Shocking Ontrace. 1 From the Wytheville Enterprise.! We learn that a young man through Grayson : several days since, and entering a house, at wnicn ne found onlv a vonner lady, the rest of the family being absent, committed a most shocking outrage tor wnicn, ir he has been captured, be has, per haps, ere now paid the life penalty. Several gentlemen were in pursuit at last accounts, 'and tracking the scoun drel pretty well. We have not been able to learn the name of the young lady, but it is stated that she is a member of one of the first families in Grayson. A man died" inv Vermont the other day after "suffering from dyspepsia for twenty years, some peculiar circum stances ia . nis case led to a post mortem examination, which . revealed, thirteen cherry-stones imbedded in the lining or tne stomach, causing a thickening of the walls of that organ some three-fourths of an inch and ultimately the man's death. It was the opinion of the physicians that the stones had beeu there many years. VEGETINE FOR DROPSY. I never shall ! Forget the First Bos.e f - Providence. Mr. H. R.
