Ben Butler says that what has come out in the investigation thus far is but the shadow of the substance that is coming, and promises the newspapers sensations enough out of it to last all summer. A very strange cause is given in the Boston Transcript for the death of Thom as Winans: The ceaseless noises of an au tomatic buoy in Newport harbor; hear his house, so destroyed his rest that he died of exhaustion. At the recent fishmongers' banquet in London, Mr. Gladstone declared the French and Italian cooks to be the best in the world, and held that the English should learn to imitate them, and stand out against the traditional bloody roast beef. The story goes in Paris that the Prince of Wales, on being informed by a Perisiah xlitician that his friendly reception of M. Gambetta created a good deal ot talk, re plied beniguly, "Oh, it is all part of the Exhibition!" All the deeds, titles, securities and other documents contained in the safes of tha minister of justice were consumed in the recent fire which do3trojed the Sublime Porte. . 1 ho coinjwas fused into a shapeless mass. The House of Bishops of the JProlestant Epsicopal Church, which was to have met in New. York City on the 17th inst, for the purpose of taking action on 'Bishop McCoakery Vcase, postponed their meet ing until August 28th. Mr. Herbert Spencer was recently en tertained at"a dinner in Paris byxa num ber of prominent French free-thinkers. He delivered an address overflowing with expressions of good will toward France. and proposed the toast of "Fraternity." Thepower of the ne v commissioners of the District of Columbia is about as absolute as was ever given three men in this country. The entire management of the affairs of a community of 150,000 people is placed absolutely under their control. A belle of Gold Hill, Nevada, .plays the piano with her toes and fingers simulta neously. A witness of her performance describes the music produced as excellent, but says nothing about the queer contor tions that the player necessarily puts her self through. Feter Cooper has been writing an ad dress to the President and Congress de manding the repeal of the resumption act and the issue of $1,500,000,000 of legal notes, with which to purchase and retire government bonds, saving the people the 875,000,000, of interest annually on the bonds- all of which is warranted to re store prosperity. William Campbell, known as the Scot tish giant, has just been buried in New- castle. He was a well-grown youth. His age was 22 years, his height six feet two and a half inches, bis girth around the shoulders eight feet, and his we;ght seven hundred and fifty-eight pounds The services of a derrick were necessary to lower the cofin. containing his body in tlw grave. An association, known as "The Home Hospital Association," has been formed in London tor the purpose of opening several small hospitals and convalescent homes for the upper and middle classes, where any one can obtain, on payment, all the advantages of hospital treatment, in ad dition to many of the comforts of home not the least of which will be the attend ance 'of his own doctor. The scheme is suppoorted by a very influential class, including tho great .London companies and banking houses, nearly all of whom subscribed $500. A donor of $100 be comes a member with privilege of pri ority of admission fur himself when ill. A JUNKETING " PRESIDENT." The de facto President is following the example of his illustrious (?) predecessor in the White House by junketing all over the country, and, we suppose, in the same style as Grant deadhead; and all for his own private pleasure, too. Mr. Hayes has twice made a trip to New England since the eight to seven Commission located him in the Execu tive Mansion ; odcc to the West and through the South; once or twice to Balti more, where be exhibited himself on the occasion of one of his visits, at a church fair, where a price had to be paid for the privilege of seeing and shaking hands with His Fraudulency; once to Richmond, Va., and twoor three times to New York City to attend some banquet or dinner party; and now he proposes to take a nice little trip to Princeton, New Jerseythe only obstacle to the gratifica tion of this desire being the fact that those "forty-thrfe Confederate Brigadiers" in the House may conclude that it is best to continue in session a few days longer and finish the business before Congress before adjourning. This, it seems, has some what interfered with the plans of "the man at the other end of the avenue." But the country is informed that if Congress adjourned even as late as midnight "the President" would start for Princeton by the next train. What a nobro example of determination and perseverance is here exhibited ! How worthy of emulation by the students at Princeton? Let nothing stand in the way of your pleasure that you can possibly put out of your way, even though it be affairs of State. It matters not to .the fraudulent President how man' bills are awaiting his signature to become laws, for appropriations and so fort hj' that are sadly needed "if Con gress adjourns before midnight, the Presi dent will leave on the one o'clock train." Princeton should be overjoyed. THE PEACE CONGRESS. Tho European. question is not ytt settled-not by any meats. The Con gress, which was expected to oomplete its work in ten days, may be in session tenW3eks. The most important quea tions hate barely been touched upon, as yet, and the harmony and good feel ing which has characterized the open ing of the Congress may desert it be fore its closing hours. Dexter Smith is hot prcud of the au thorship of the song, "Put Me in My Little Bed." ne says that ho took the music and some very fair verses to a pub lisher, who said, "The words are too good. What the public wants is something af ter this sort," and he heard selection trom the trashiest of rhymes. Mr. Smith determined to write something that would answer the demand, and the result was "Put Me in My Little Bed," of which 250,000 copies have been sold. CONGRESS WHAT IT HAS DONE. The seoondfsession of the Forty-fifth Congress of the United States, after a session of over five months is about to adjourn nine die. To make a resume of what these l.tw-raakers of the nation have done for the country, would be more difficult on ouv judgment than to say whit they have not done. The New York World, however, in refer- ing to the early adjournment expresses itself thusly: Now that Congress is on the eve of adjournment, after a very long and more or less-exciting session, our readers will thank us for laying before them a summary of the work it has actually accomplished. An inordi nate proportion of the time of the two Houses has been occupied with manoauvrings for party advantage, with personal explanations and recrimina tions and with the dilatory discustrion of bills and measures that came to naught. Of those that have become laws comparatively few, it will be found, are of more than local interest and importance. Among these are the act for the repeal of the Bankrupt law and the Silver bill. One of the most momentous measure brought before Congress, Mr. Wood' project for the reform of our revenue laws, perished in the house of it3 friends, mainly, as we are sorry to fee obliged to believe, because it was neither prepared in time nor pressed with skill and energy. Thero is no doubt but that errors have been committed by the Demo cratic members of both Hoases, but we are proud to know that the Demo cratic members from North Carolina have erred aa little as any in the fold, and wd are, therefore, proud of our Senators and Representatives, and proud of the record they have made for themselves and the credit they have reflected upon their constitu encies. The estate of Mark Hopkins of San Francisco is worth 10 000,000, and men able to qualify as bondsmen in twice that amount could not be found in the county. To get around the difficulty about $5,000, 000 in railroad bouds were withdrawn form the property and deposited in a bank. Then Charles Crocker and Iceland Stanford qualified in $ 10,000,000 each. The terrUcry of Karategin, which be" longed formerly to Kokhand, has been ceded b' Russia to Bokhara. Karategin, with the smaller territories of Dorwa, Wachia, and Shugnau, as well as - the greater part of Kogistar, adjoin imme diately the plateau of Pamir, the highest in the world. Karategin, which is com pletely isolated in water, and has inter course only during summer with the neighborhing territories, has never yet been approached by a European. The habits and customs of the inhabitants are described as those of a completely primi tive state. They have no conception of measure or weight no fairs, booths, caravanseries, or any institutions of pub lic life. Theft is unknown among them. They carry on the breeding of cattle, have little agriculture, and all is, so to speak, common property. If provisions are wanting in one family, their neighbors help them. Pure sil ver clocks from Peru are features ftt the Paris show. - It is recorded that a woman was once burnt in Prance for murdering some babies. As a refinement of cruelty 6he was put in a cage with fourteen cats over afire so that the animiis in their agony should tear her while burning. Auother story equally horrible appears in a letter of the Hatton correspondence. The writer describes a pageant performed in London in commemoration of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. "There were," he says, "mighty bonfires and the burning of a most costly Pope, carried by four persons, and the effigies of two divells." The in terior of the "pope" was filled with live cats, who "squawled most hideously as pooh as they felt the fire." There Lave been twenty-eight attempts on the lives of royal personages and ru'ers during the last tiiirty years ." The Duke of Modena, attacked in 1S4S ; the Prince of Piu-si i (now the Emperor William), at Minden, in June, 1S4S ; the late King of Prussia, in 1S52 ; Qnten Victoria, (by an ex-lieutenant), .iu 18o2 ; an infernal ma chine discovered at Marseilles on Napoleon Ill's visit in 1852 ; tlie Austrian Emperor slightly wounded by the Hungarian, Li benyez, in 1S53 ; attack on King Victor Emauuel in 1853 ; also on Napoleon III.f opposite the Opera 'Comique ; the Duke of Parma mortally slabbed in 1854 ; Na poleon III, fired at by Piunori in the Chatnps Elysees in 1855 ; a policeman seized Fuentes when about to fiie at Queen Isabella in 185G ; Milano, a soldier, stab bed King Ferdinand of Naples in 1850 three Italians from London convicted of conspiracy against Napoleon III in 1857 ; the Orsini plot against Napoleon 111. in 185S : King of Prussia twice fired at, but not hit, by the student Beker, at Baden, in 1861 ; Queen of Greece s' ot at by the student Brusies in 1802 ; three Italians from London arrested for conspiring against Napoleon III. in 18G2 ; President Lincoln assassinated in 1865 ; the Czar at tacked at St. Petersburg in 1866 and at Paris in 1863 ; Prince Michael of Servia, assassinated in 1S68 J King Amadeus of Spain, attacked in 1871 ; President of Pe ru assassinated in 1872 ; President of Bo livia in 1S73 ; President of Ecuador in 1875 ; President of Paraguay in 1877 ; and two attempts on the life of the German Emperor in 1878. BOILED DOWN- The total uuniber of Slavs is 90, 492, 160, chiefly inhabiting the empire of Rus sia. King- Humbert and young Menotti Garibaldi are said to be on the best 'of terms. Cardinal de Bonnechose, Archbishop of Rouen, proposes a monument to Joan of Arc in that town. Salvini is playing an engagement at Rome to full houses, being assisted by the favorite actress, La Marini. Farmers in England sowing arsenicated wheat are by a recent act of Parliament made sublect to a heavy penalty. Pope Leo XIII. has expressed the wish that the European Congress should take the best possible care of the interests of Christians in the East. The average regin of the seven (Prus sian) kings ot the house of Hohenzollern, including the present monarch, has amounted to tweuty-three years. Tqe Orangemen of Montreal avow their intention to parade unarmed on the 12th of July, to play rio party tunes, that can give annoyance to others and to'trust themselves to the protection of the city authorities. In moving the Secret Service appro priation, in the House of. Commons, Sir II. Ibbetson stated that for several years the amount spent was far less than the suni voted. For instance, in 1875-7, of 24,000 only 14,900 was used. Soartanburg & Aq Now Kouto to tho Mountains of Western No. Ca. THIS NKW KOUTE IS NOW OP2SN to tho tmrellirij; puWic.
