Russell, in conver sation -yesterday with a repre sentative of the "Star' said that he had no hesitation in saving that he will decline to accept the j nomination for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court on the Re publican ticket ; and, furthermore that in his .letter of declination he will advise the withdrawal of the entire State ticket, and that a coalition be formed with the Prohibitionists. He gave it as his opinion, that it would be futile for the Repub lican party to make a campaign in this State, and, that the ap proaching election will be a walk over for the Democrats. "In the first place," he said, "they (the Republicans) cannot win; and in the second, if they could, they would be counted out." He thinks that if a coalition is formed with the Prohibitionists it will break the color line and in this way, perhaps, lead to Republican suc cess hereafter. "But," he added, "if a Chinese gong campaign is inaugurated with joint discus sions between Fowle and Dock ery, it will result, probably, in a majority of 40,000 tor the Demo-" cratic ticket " Judge Russell was one of the delegates from this State to the Chicago convention, was a mem ber of the Committee on Creden tials of that body and. it will be remembered, had an animated discussion with John S. Wise of Virginia, on the status of the delegation from that State. He is an astute and sagacious poli tician and one of the most influ ential members of the Republican party in this state, and there can be no question that the stand he has taken in this matter will have great weight with his party. Very Much Crowded. St. I'nil fil-iftf.) The stately old saint stood by the gate with the kev in his right hand, looking severe and impor tant as the shadow glided up the pathway. "Halt !" he cried, and as the spirit stood still in his tracks, St. Peter said: "Thou art from earth ?" "Just left a few moments ago," the spirit replied. "Thou desirest to enter here?" interrogated flie saint. "That's what Pin here for." "Didst thu have anything to do with politics while on earth ?" "Yes, I was mixed up with it more or less." ' "Didst thou ever sacrifice thine own interests for the welfare of the party ?" "Never!" "What! never?" "Never." "Go thou in and take a sofa seat on the right hand side. The other is vcrv much crowded." On tha Same Platform. t Itrlmit Fi re Vf ) "Who yer gwinc tcr vote fer disfall?" he asked as he stood his whitewash brush against the wall and began filling his pipe.

Members are now venturing predictions as to the length of the present session of Congress. The members of' the ways and means committee expect to reach a vote on the tariff bill before the 1st of August. Time must then be allowed for the Senate to con sider the matterand the prevail ing opinion is that Congress will be in session on the 15th of Au gust, probably as late as the 1st of September. When the Senate get the Mills bill it will probably jiot take the finance committee long to prepare a substitute, which will be reported by the majority, the majority reporting the Mills bill. There is no idea that the season will be prolonged in an effort to reach an agree ment between the two houses on a bill. The condition of the appro priation bills, is not very promis ing. Those that have become laws- Two urgent deficiencies, the. pensions, the Indian and Mil itary Academy. In conference are: The District of Columbia, the legislative, the consulor and diplomatic, the Post-Office and Agricultural. The fortification and the general deficiency bills are still in the House committee. The Army, the Navy, the river and harbor and the sundrj' civil bills have passed the House, but have not yet been acted upon by the Senate. This is their condi tion on the last day of the past fiscal year. They should all go into force to-day. The Army appropriation bill was reported in the Senate last week. One important amendment ftported by the committee was the insertion of an item appropri ating $600,000 for cannon and carriages, projectiles, exjjeri ments in the riteans of protecting torpedo lines, etc., all materials to.be of American manufacture. The amendment was agreed to, with an amendment offered by Senator Hawley adding after the word "projectiles" the word "and increased facilities for the manu facture." Senator Hawley offered an amendment to insert antuldi tional section appropriating $750,000 for an Army gun fac torv at Watervleit Arsenal, N. Y. ; $5,000,000 for the purchase of steel for high-power coast defense guns of 8, 10 and 12 inch caliber; $500,000 for the purchase of sub marine mines, cable galleries, and appliances to operate submarine mines, and $100,000 for the pur chase of submarine controllable torpedoes and torpedo boats. Senator Hawlev addressed the Senate as to the importance and necessity ot the amendment, the Senate adjourned. One of the points of difference in the Army Appropriation bill to le settled by conference, ir. which Army officers take great interest, is that relating to mile age. The House only alllowed $100,000 for this purpose, and endeavoring to modify the law for its disbursment so as to sim plify the method of procuring transportation made it worse than the existing law. The clause as amended by the Senate, it is believed, is generally satisfactory, certainly more so than the pres ent law. Under this clause offi cers will "not be put to the incon venience of going first to the Quartermaster's Department to procure their transportation, arid then to the Pay Department for the amount to cover incidential expenses, but their entire travel ing expenses will be paid by one department the Pay De p a r t ment. The Senate has aK in creased the total appropriation for mileage to $150,000, which, if allowed, will prevent the custo-1 mary annual deficiency. A stir of excitement was caused in the Indian Office Saturdav Saturday morning by the news that Chaska and his bride was in the building. Mrs. James Camb bell, as she is now known, was Miss Cora Fellows, of this city. She wa. a t eacher in ai; Indian school in Dakota, and there met her husband. Her marriage wfs the subject of considerable news- I" paper notice, and consequently there was a good deal ofcurio'si- Ity, especially among the female r1 1 a 1 T i- rr . items 111 me inaian omce, to see the couple about whom they had heard so much. Mr. and Mrs. Cambell had some business to transact, and if they noticed that the work of the office required the presence of a good many clerks in the room where they happened to be, they said noth ing about it. Mr. Campbell, who is an Indian of mixed blood, made a very good appearance. He was dressed neatly, and wore a. pair of brown kid gloves. He speaks English quite fluently, al though he has the habit of his race, and inotmuch of a talker. He has some lands in the West, and they, wanted to ascertain their status. Mrs. Cambell took the lead in all inquiries She wdre a black silk dress trim ried with passementeris, and a stylish little bonnet, which be came her petite figure. Good Women. The highest words of praise that can be spoken of a women is to say of her that she is "a good woman." The women who win the admiration, respect and love of all are the good wo men of theVorld. We admire women to whom nature has given the great gift of beauty ; the bright eyes, glowing cheeks, perfect features, and graceful movements of a beautiful wo men charm us, but the charm is not lasting unless the beauti ful woman is a good woman. Only good women win. our per fect faith, our lasting respect; they only receive the highest praise our .lips can utter, the be best love our hearts can give. Our Candidates for Pxesideat.

Second Citizen "I have never thought of such a thing." "I believe you- could be elect ed." "Nonsense!" "But I am certain you vould poll an immense vote." They part and the next morn ing the folio whig card appearj in the pH pers: "I have reluctantly and after much solicitation on the part of the public, resolved to sacrifice my own desires for private life and hereby an nounce myself as a candidate for the Legislature. John Smith." Why I am a Poor Man. "Wool Hat," in Planter's Advocate, tells us the following plain story why he is poor: "I am poor because I buy more than I sell. In the first place, I buy a part of my meat from the Northwest; my fish comes from Portland, in the taking of which the Mainland ers reveive a bounty from the government. My onion sets and all my garden seeds comes from Michigan. I sold the wool from eighteen sheep j&X 37 J cents per pound to an agent of the manufacturing company at Reading, Pa.; four months afterwards I bought a hat from the same company pacing at the rate of six dollars a pound for the wool. The hide of a buck I sold for five cents per pound. It went to Elmire, N. Y'. was tanned, sent back and I bought it at 35 cents a pound, and it weighed more than it did when I sold it. My ax handles come from Connecticut, my matches from Delaware, my pen, ink and paper from New York. Don't do it Girls. It is very common at the present day, for young ladies to accept presents from gentle men not related to them, or likely to .become so in fact, mere acquaintances. With no partiality for old custom, mere ly because they are old customs, we confess an admiration for that feminine delicacy which shrinks from accepting favors from chance acquaintances of the day or hour. That all young men have. not the true f eel ings of genUemen.our young ladies need not be told; nor. that those njost lavish with their presents are often as little able to afford it as they are able to refrain from boasting that these presents" have been ac cepted when among their young male acquaintances. The check of many a young and in nocent but ungraduated girl would crimsom with mortifica tion, could she hear the remarks often made' on this subject among young men. Don't do it girls ; don't accept presents from a gentleman unless he is an accepted suitor, a relative, or some old, well-known friends of thefamily, who lias proved his claim to be good, for such an evidence of your faith in him. What This Year's Election Means. This year's great political fight, a3 every one knows, cen ters in New York. The calls to arm has been sounded, and the great opposing forces are. get- Uing their heavy artillery into position. There 'never has been perhaps there will never again be such a fight. - It is a battle to uphold the first li n s t a i n e d Administra tion this country has had since the war. It is the climax of the supreme struggle to rid the toiling people of an extor tionate, wasteful, inlquitious tax. It is a light for the prin ciples of Democracy, pure and undented, as represented 6y its gallant standard barern, Urover Cleveland, and that grand old Scion of a Southern house, Allen Granberry Thurinan. Of course every one who de sires to keen- apace with this terrific and thrilling contest must reafl a newspaper publish ed on the spot. People with Democratic instincts vill natur ally pcefer the paper which is in the confidence of the united Democract of New York of the National Administration and is the accredited represen tative paper of the National Democracy. We mean, of course, the New York Star. Is Consumption Incurable Head the following: Mr.C. H. Morris, Nowark, Ark,, says: "Was down with Abscess 'of Lungs,aud friend and physicians pronounced me an lucurable Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It is the finest medicine ever made." Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio, says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption I would have died of Lung Troubles. TFas gWen up by doctors. Am now in best of health." Try it. Sample bottles free at T. It. Hood's Drugstore. Honor to whom honor is due. Enterprise and business tact are sure to meet with their reward. Mr. J. L. Stone, one of our most enterprising citizens, despite the most violent and savage attacks of' his competitors in business, is doing a large and most profitable-trade. A visit to his ex tensive warerooms yesterday showed his three bookkeepers hard at work answering numer ous letters and entering sales made by his agents in all parts of this State. Nor was the ship ment department inactive. Four men were busily engaged boxing and shipping goods. Mr. Stone has been so long and favorably known in our community that inv word of -praise would be en- t irely superfluous. It is reiresh nir to meet with so much indom- itable energv and perseverance in our midst. A few more such Imen would insure the prosperity I of our city. WHAT THE WORLD DOES WEEKLY.
