EUlLtUi 1 tHawkeye ' The following fragment of a private etter from the young duchess of Edin burgh to the old settler on West Hill has fallen into our hands. It indicates very plainly the domestio troubles that cloud the skies j am, having the hardest time try nV td keep peace in the family;" My mother-in-law is just one1 of the dearest of women, but she and papa have fallen out about something and are quarrel ing bo dreadfully that eyen the neigh bora are beginning to talk about it. I am' ad mortified and distressed I don't ike to sro out of the house. Paoa is dreadfully angry and seems to forget that my husband's mother is a woman, and says it she tries to meddle with his afiairSjhe'll break every bone in her body. And my poor dear husband is so tormented and badgered between their quarreling and my weeping, he is almost crazy. He has gone away in his ship ana says he is afraid if pa doesn't talk more repectmlly to his mamma,' he will pound St Pe tersburg down about his ears. And when brother Nicholas heard of it, he said if my husband came fooling round, he'd put a torpedo under his old mud scow that would hump him over tne moon. Oh, I am so miserable. It is a dreadful way to live. The Other day one of Edinburgh's' sisters lo'oked very hard at me, right at the -dinner table, and Baid that , between the rats and the Russians,' one couldn't keep a candle about the house long enough to light it, and the very next day I got a boi from brother Alexis, with a "letter requesting me to distribute the con tents am one mv husband's familv. with his compliments. And t supposed and called the family in to see it open ed, and, What do you think ? It .eoin amed . about a bushel and half of wooden; 'BPs. .

On last Thursday, .for .instance, the 1 House of Representatives, knocked 6ff work to listen tp a recital of the public and nrivate virtues ot tha late Mr. ; J Edwards Ieonard of Louisiana. , Nin e j member sppke, and the report of their epeeehes takes.up a little over, seven and a -half pages in the Congressional Record. In these seven and a half pages we find by actual count twenty quotations ixuiu , ux9 poeusu : txtvery speikei' dropped into poetry 1. least once ; , Mr r.

Hy an unlucky coincidence of taste, two of them, Messrs Calkins andDurX nell, had selected , as a closmg quota- tion.certam nounfamiuar lines which assert that leaves have their : time to fill, fider to withejr, stars to set, but that people die allihe 'year round with- out regaraoo vne seasons, ju ,vukuis ' jot the floor first, and delivered these ines in his" most impressive manner. Under the circumstances some men in Mr Bunnell's place would have sup- pressed, tne .quotation. , mi vuuneu is made'of sterner stuff, and the House had the opportunity of comparing his rendering 01 cne lines wun mat 01 mi Calkins. We advise these obituary orators in search of poetical quotations to turn their attention to the writings of G. Washington Childs, A M. Philadel phia's gifted, elegiac bard. In his beautiful productions they will find the- feelings and the language ot griet itself, all. framed in a solemn and no ble style of imagination, with nothing nacKneyea or commonplace w shock the sad .emotions of the, hour.

Wholesale Secession from the Church of Eng- iana. New York, April 21. A special dis patch from Paris to the Herald has the following from a person who professes to nave an intimate acquaintance with the Vatican : "I hear that a move ment is on foot which promises to ! be the most important went in the religi ous history of this ' century. This is nothing less than secession in large bodies of the members of the English Protestant Church to the Roman Cath olic Church. Thennmber of seceders is placed tit as high a figure as 3,000,000 of people. Included in this exodus from the Church of England are bish ops, rectors, curates, and deacons. Authorized delegates, it is ascertained, are now in Rome negotiating condi tions upon which secession will take place." Why the Gas Suraed Low.
