The Biiker family in Pennsylvania are coming to the front and are laying claim to 150 acres Of land in the heart ofj the city of Philadelphia. They have not been deterred it seems by Mrs Gaines' life-time litigation for a slice of! New Orleans. . 'hiladelphia Press: The way for an officeholder , at Washington to make money now is to lsarn the ropes in of fice, resign and "practice" against the government. Raum has done it, and Patent Commissioner Marble is re- ported to be ""chafing" for a chance to do it. (Philadelphia Ikeord: There is some thing touching in the interest which Jay Gould displays in the causa of' pro tection as he retires with hia hundred millions or thereabouts. "My dear children," exclaimed an old rat, I am about to withdraw from the labors and - cares of this wicked world and devote my remaining days to study and con templation. Con the lessons of my prosperity and Imitate the virtues that have illustrated my career. Farewell." Wiping his eyes with his venerable tail, the old rat withdrew. One of his pro geny, more cunning than the rest, fol lowed him to his retreat, and found that he had buried himself in an enor mous cheese. Philadelphia Times: The spectacle Mi a Republican administration being called upon to help defeat a Republican local ticket can hardly be an inspiring Bight to Republicans who have main I tained their political faith under diffi culties. Yet this is the kind of circus that Senator Mahone is inviting the -administration to participate in at the -Coming local Virginia elections. A -Straight Republican ticket has been put In the field in Norfolk county and Ma hone is rallying all his office-holders to its overthrow with the assurance that Its success would be a defeat of the idministration which gave them their places. People will be asking after this which party the administration belongs to anyway. It was elected as a Repub lican administration, but seems to have got mixed somehow in its Virginia relations. Philadelphia Times: The execution of Bradv at Dublin. as appears from the " excellent report printed this morning. was conducted with a promptness and dignity often lamentably wanting at executions ifi America, and that pre served whatever value banging may have under such circumstances as a solemn warning. - The crowd in the streets awaited the announcement of the fatal act without loud demonstra tions, but with evidont feelings of com' Tniseration for lh4 young man. whom many of them d jubtltsv regarded as a martyr. In truth, Brady was not alto gether unworthy of sympathy. All ac counts agree that,, outside rf his con nection with the Invincible?, he was an honest, industrious, kind hearted man and it was a kind ot patriotic fanati cism which his countrymen can all understand that led hm to surrender his conscience to this murderous organ izttion. . There can be no question that Brady justly met his death at the bands of the public Jaw he had outraged ; yet the reproach rests lesj upon the soul of rthia unfortunate young mau than upon the political institutions under which one of the truest' of human impulses 'devotion to country has been, driven through generation after generation to .find expression in inhuman crime Murder will never make Ireland free. but no more will hanging murderers ever make Ireland tranquil. It is stated by a Florida man who has cultivated the acquaintance of the alii gator, that that interesting individual may be partially tamed. The best way to tame him is with an ax or several ounces of buckshot or something of that sort. A l'ittsburg man advertises to sell counterfeit legal tender and bank notes, and an exchange asks "where are the government detectives? They are pro bably going cahoots with the enterpris ing note dealer. The next member of the "Invinci bles" to be hanged in Ireland is Daniel Curley, whose execution is fixed for May 18. The execution of Michael Fagan is set for the 28th of May, and of Timothy Kelly for the 9th of June. The platform of the Iowa Greenback ers is a sort of double-back -action con cern. It opposes "the national bank monopoly, the telegraph monopoly, the land monopoly," and favors "prohibi tion by constitutional and legal enact ments against the manufacture And sale of liquor as a beverage." "A general strike is now threatened in two of the most important indus tries of our State iron and coal." Philadelphia Times.

Lamartine's barber was a thoughtful individual ; when he trimmed the poets hair he saved the clippings and now the locks are being sold to defray the expenses of building a monument. This barber shows evidences of shrewd ness as well as thoughtfulness, and the probabilities are that he will palm off on the enthusiastic Frenchmen numer ous locks.that Lamartine never wore. Augusta Chronicle: Amasa Stone, lost about $1,000,000 of bis $6,000,000, and then committed suicide. lie was liberal and freehanded of his own motion, but could not endure to see his money leaving him as the result of what he considered bad judgment. He came near taking his own life when the Ashtabula bridge, a net construc tion of his. fell and destroyed many lives. Money does not always bring content. Philadelphia Record: The campaign against Joe McDonald has begun al ready in Indiana. One of his newspa per enemies charges that he was an at torney for the drive-well patent, which makes every man who owns a drive- well pay a ten dollar royalty. In case Joe McDonald should be made the Democratic candidate for President this would make a great issue against him in the West. It might possibly overshadow the question of revenue re form. An electric machine, designed to register and record the votes of parlia mentary bodies, is to be placed in one of the rooms of the Capitol at Wash ington as an experiment, which, if it works satisfactorily, will likely be in troduced into the House of Representa tives. By this system an aye and no call of the House of Representatives can be made, it is claimed, in less than a minute. The machine prints the name of each member and indicates on what side he votes. It also indicates the absentees and those whose are paired. Wall S reet News: "When an Ohio county treasurer came to hand in his books and vouchers the other day for settlement, the chairman of the com mittee received them and observed: 'Mr. White, we want to get through to morrow, if possible.' Very well 'And it would greatly facilitate matters if you could tell us the exact amount of your embezzlement.' vMy emDezzle- ment! Why, sir, yon will find my ac counts correct to a cent,' was the indig nant response. 'Oh, well, if you won't plead guilty we may as well settle down for a month's work before we discover the amount,' sighed the chairman, and he called the meeting to order." A Deatxaetive Toraado.

Reports of ravages of Monday night's storm, in Indiana and Ohio, show that the cyclone swept across an area of about twelve miles in lengthv about eight miles north of Connersville, Indiana, with a path a few rods wide, striking the little village of Waterloo and destroying every house but three in the place and doing great damage to farms but injuring nobody. A nne iron Dridge over w mte water River was whirled to pieces. In the bouinern part or Wayne county, ad joining, much damage was done to the farms.

Biggar. a member or furiumeot for Cavan, said that anything coming from the Pope should be received with much respect bv the members. They shon'd at the same time express their opinions in plain but Inoffensive terms. Biggar said he was not suited for such a task. and that further, it was unsafe for him to remark upon the present manner of administering Justice, lie urged the importance of preparing for the general election for members of .Parliament.

Raid on the Pablie Laads of Irfaulaaa. New Orleans, May 16. The Picay une to-day publishes an article In con firmation of the charges it made on May 21 concerning the over issue of scrip under the McEnery contract. The statement then made was that accoiding to the official record furnish ed by the commissioner of the United States land office at Washington 167.527 acres or swamp Ian a nad ben approved to the State of Louisiana and as Mc Enery could only ask for one-half this area in the scrip. The statement by Governor that scrip for fc22t acres had been issued showed that even the hard terms of the contract with John Mo Enerv had not. been . complied with. Governor McEaery in a second letter claimed that the Picayune had omitted two lists of land one of 6,620 acres and another of 32,267 acres in the list of lands approved. The commissioner of the United States land office now certi fies that these two tracts of land were approved by Secretary Carl Schurz In 1873. or tnree years before the date or the McEnery contract. Yet on these approvals scrip for 14.000 acres was issued to John McEnery and this was the first issued under the contract. The Picayune donouncea this raid upon the public domain in tfevereterms and publishes documentary evidence of its position. The Texas Thermopylae. Galveston. May 15 A dispatch from Sau Antonio says that the dag of Texas is flying over Fort Alamo, the property of which it forms a part having been conveyed to the Slate by the Catholic Bishop after purchase, although many held the opinion that the real title was vested in the State. Thus is settled a qutsiion which has long been in dispute and which has caused very general interest. The Alamo is known as the Tiiermopy le or America from the heroic defence of the fort in 1836 by a small body of Texans against a force of Mexicans fully ten times their number. During the subsequent struggle for indepen dence the Texan war cry was "Remem ber the Alamo." the Mexicans having murdered six defenders of th fort whom they found alive on its surren der.

Judge O'Brtea Rcaaarks to Fits llama The Pope Misled. Dublin. May 16. Judge O'Brien, In passing sentence on Fr.z Harris, said: "The crime of which you were convict ed is morally the same as that of mur der. The deaths of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke were mainly owing to your act in inducing Smith to point out the victims." The prisoner appeared to be stupefied at his sen tence. The Pope a circular to the Irish bish ops says his holiness has been misled if not entirely deceived dv me emissaries of the British government who knew that if the Parnell party remains un broken It will bold the balance of power in the next Parliament, A Dyaaaaite Hoax. London. May 18. The head con stable at Liverpool maintains that the story of the discovery on a trans-Atlan tic steamer or an lnrernai macntne in a box which had been entrusted to the care of the steward is a hoax. The box only contained a brick. The limes correspondent at Liver pool, however, insists on the truth of the story and declares that the police are anxious to minimize the importance of the affair. The Liverpool Courier says it is positive that a dangerous ma chine was found on the steamer. Kicklag Agaiast the Preach. London. Mav 16. A dispatch to the exchange telegraph company from Ber lin says the treaty or peace between Germany and Madagascar has been signed. The Standard baa advices from Madagascar stating tnat war prepara tions in the interior are greater than those being made on the coast. A ma jority of the safe a lavas have joined the bovas in defence or tneir indepen dence. The French are apparently loth to begin operations, their forces being inadequate to cope with the natives.

The extecsion of College street to Murehead street, f or tne beneQt of the graded school children, is being talked about, and the board of aldermeu will probably be called upon to consider the pnjrct. There will be no jury trials at the next term of the Federal court to be held in this city in June. Col Keogh say a the reason is that there is no money on hand with which to pay juries. Tho judiciary is not quite exhausted, but the treasury is. The premises of Mr. S. E.

Fischenser, the enterprising proprietor of the Mo zart Saloon, who leads tbe movement to get up a bag race, and offers 920 in cash to the man who comes up to the stand first. A bag race is a novelty in this country, but over in old France it Is a stapdard amusement.

Staten became involved in a difficulty with a colored man and break ing from the crowd rushed into Mr. George Little's store, where he picked up a double barrel shot gun. wheeled around and fired at the crowd in tho door. Just as he fired, some one knock ed ths gun up and the load of shot tore up the ceiling overhead. - The white man's friends and the colored man's friends banded in two warlike bodies and threats aiid axo handles filled tho air. Tbe parties did not get together and as Staten wa quickly taken out of town by his friend?, the excitement cooled down and no blood was shed. Whiskey was at the bottom of It. The Work Coaaaaeaced. The list takers for Charlotte town ship, Messrs II. G. Springs. S. IL Hilton and J. J. Sims, yesterday opened their books and commenced the work of as sessing the real estate of this township at its "fair cash value." Their work is a heavy one. Every lot in the city and every piece of land in the whole town ship has to be put down separately, and its value stated as fairly as Uie judges can state if, and the whole must be ready to turn over to the assessor on the 15th of June. The list takers throughout the county will all begin work this week, as tbe bjfanks have been received and forwarded to them. The compensation of tbe list takers is S2 per day. It would greatly aid the list takers for this township if all owners of real estate would call on them and give them a description of their property, with its location, esti mated valuation, etc They are located in the office at tbe courthouse formerly occupied by the city clerk and tax col lector. Pag ilistie Eaeoaater on the Street. About five o'clock yesterday after noon a considerable excitement was raised on tbe quiet streets by a pugilis tic encounter, that took place in front of Lalta & Bro.'s store, between Mr. George C. Chambers and Mr. C A. Hunt, a Baltimore drummer. Only a few rounds were passed before the parties were separated and taken before Justice Waring by Constable Orr. After hearing the evidence, tbe magistrate fined Mr. Chambers $5 and Mr.' Hunt 92. The difficulty was caused by a let ter Mr. Chambers had written to L. J. Overby, Randolph, Va, in reference to some unpaid freight on grain, in which he 'spoke of Mr. Hunt as a scoundrel and story teller. Mr. Hunt, who is a partner with Overby, came Into posses sion of the letter.and finding Mr. Cham bers on the street yesterday .approached him, and showing him the letter, asked if he had written iC Mr. Chambers re plied that he wrote the letter, where upon Mr. Hunt struck him, and the fight began. They were separated be fore doing much damage. and a few bruises and scratches on Mr. Hunt's face were all that told of the battle. Mr. Hunt had a pistol in his pocket. andV In addition to the fine was put under a bond of $30 for his appearance before the Inferior Court to answer to the charge of carrying concealed weapons.

Tickets to be sold at these rales only for tbe special train: Tbe train will pass this place at an early hour in the morning, and will re turn In the afternoon." A Fiae Bight Near the City. One of the prettiest sights to be seen around Charlotte at this season of the yesr is the green slopes' of Wads worth's model farm. located about a mile to tbe west from the city. No dirt whatever can be seen, the whole farm being covered! with a deerrelrpetlfig of wav ing grain, or blowing clover. There are twenty-seven acres sowed in clover, which grows thickly and most luxuri ously, from three to four feet in height It is the most beautiful field of clover that we have ever seen, and fully demonstrates what our Southern farm ers are capable of doing in this respect. The fields of waving wheat and oats are a sight to look upon. An enthusi astic visitor suggests that Mr. Wads worlh ought to call his farm Zion.so that he could apply to it the old quota tion: "How beautiful are thy bills, oh Zion." Mr. Wads worth certainly sus tains his reputation of being the model farmer of tbe county, and in raising tbe finest grasses and small grain, he is a decidi d success. No where in all this country can a prettier piece of land than his be found. Freaka of Two laaaae People. Insanity appears to be on'an increase among the colored people lately, and two odd characters turned up in the city yesterday. Tbe officers of the 1st National Bank were surprised at an early hour in the day by the entrance of a colored woman who stepped up to the cashier and announced tbe fact that she had come to get her 7.000,000. It was seen at once that something was wrong with the woman, and when she began to tell her story, all doubts as to her insanity were removed. She said that for seven years past she had dreamed every night that there was a big pile of money for her somewhere and that the other night the Lord came to her and told her to get a rattlesnake and a horned snake and make them fight, and if the horned snake whipped, she was to come to tbe bank and get her &7,0WJ0. The bank boys told her that they had the money there, but couldn't giro it to her until she brought up the snakes, and jas she went away promising to return" with them, it is reasonable to suppose that tbe matter is not yet ended, and the bank officers had better keep something on hand good for snake bites. Her nsme is Anna Roberts and she has been cook ing for Mr. Eli Steele. The next character was Wm. Wilson, who was put in tbe guard house day be fore yesterday insane from an attack of fever. When the police opened the doors yesterday morning, Wilson was found in the cell stripped stark naked, and loudly singing an old camp meet ing rouser. whose words ran : Blow, Gabriel blow What must I blow? Seven claps of thunder For every graveyard. Nothing could interrupt him and be would not stop to answer questionr. lie was still singing the verse and gazing with a stony stare at the ceiling of tbe cell when Dr. Dyers injected mor phine into his arm. After a while he dozed joff to sleep under' the influence of the! injection, when a couple of col ored people- put his clothes on him. placed him in a wagon and carried him out to the county insane asylum at the poor house.

She gets ooo in money and Doncs. me juuiuj. residence in San Francisco and certain other things of more or less value. The case . was tried pnvaieiy. so mas the public ia at least spared the recital of a long list- of grievances and tbe curiosity or tne prurient is Kept; irom crratificalion. .-" Theoretically the loosening of the marriage tie and the granting of divorce in so-called high life are proba bly no worse than the same operations in tbe humblest home in the land. But in practice they are many fold worse. The bad influence resulting from such examples goes far to justify the same demoralizing practices aii aioug uuwu tbe social line. Within a few months two United States Senators, an ex Senator and the editor of a prominent newspaper have made scandals which have gone -the length and breadth of the land. In no case has a defense been attempted of the gravest charge which can be made and in every in stance tbe husband has . been, the offender. Despite the almost universal denun ciation of ths press, tbe church and the bench, reinforced by the bewitching pen of one of tbe leading American novelists, the infection appears- to spread, and it is not safe to predict to what proportions it may yet reach. The Mills Conaiag to the Cotton. . All the mills at Columbus, Georgia, are crowded with orders. On one day last week the Eagle and Phoenix mills received orders that footed up nearly $100,000. The principal portion of these orders came from St. Louis and citiea of the Northwest, and the goods are to. be delivered as rapidly as possible. The sales of woolen. goods made by these mills in one day amounted to nearly $40,000. v .'- The Weisht of Fijares. 4 A't&ny JonroaL But it wiu be accounted neresy if we point out that, after all, Maryland has only eight electoral votes, while New York has thirty six ? And it is intelli gent to devote one part of the adminis tration s energies to capturing tee eight votes, and tbe other part to alienating the thirty six? Giants ia Repose. Baltimore Day.
