TUESDAY. .... ........J-USE 13, 1S7G,
The National Republican Con
tention will meet, in Cincinnati to
morrow. E. C. Gardner, the architectural
writer, says that our school houses
have been built on too extensive and
extravaganta scale. He does not be
lieve that delicate young girls should
be compelled to climb up into a high,
ugly tower and twist in a magnificent
garret.
Ireland desires temperance. In
the British House of Commons Mr.
Smyth's resolution in favor of stop
ping liquor traffic on Sundays in Ire
land has been carried by a majority
vote of fifty-seven. The mover quo
ted the charges of judges and other
authorities to prove the increase of
intoxication, while numerous peti
tions and memorials showed a strong
desire that the public-houses should
.be closed on Sunday.
The CXpera-liouse building at Ka
lama was carried away on VJie tenth hy
high water. The theatre building has
caved in, and a part of the gas com
pany's buildings are ruined beyond
repair. The railroad track is sub
merged and partly washed away. Tt
is a bad blow for Kulama. ISine
grain elevators and sixteen distilleries
have been skipped because of so much
water.
It was heralded all over the Uni
ted States, a few weeks ago, that Dr.
Mudd, who gained such unenviable
notoriety in, and was sent to the Diy
Tortugas, for supposed complicity in
the assassination of President Lincoln,
lias been elected to the Maryland
legislature. It was a case of mistaken
identity. The man elected -was named
Geo. D. Mudd, and has .always been
known as an ardent Union man.
A !Newr York coiTespondent of the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
puts Commodore Vandcrbilt's wealth
at 15,000,000. He is below the mark;
even in these days of depreciated values
the old man holds securities worth mil
lions more than that; Daniel Drew put
the property of the Commodore at one
hundred millions; but perhaps he gets
it too high. Still, every one will allow
that Vanderbilt is by far the richest
man in America, at least in immediate
ly realizable property.
The Boston Post warmly advocat
es the bicycle as a means of locomotion
and pleasure. It seems that in France
gentlemen of distinction ride long dis
tances over the public roads, and hi
Massachusetts and Hhode Island con
siderable journeys have been accom
plished with this machine. Is everthe
less, the bic3',cle will not do either as'a
means of travel or of diversion. It is
too hard work to drive one over any
thing except a smooth, hard, level sur
, face. In France where all the high
ways are macadamized, a stout fellow
may make pretty fair time with a good
machine, but in this country, where
mere are sandy hills and mudd' hol
lows, it is no use trying.

i4 Warning to Bathers.
It has long been known that it'is
injudicious for any-' one to go into
water just after eating a full meal,
but it is not so well known. that the
practice may result in death. This
latter fact seems to be demonstrated
by the recent death in a bath-in
BristolrEiiglan3, of a bov thirteen
years old. He had never had. a fit.
and is believed to have been in per
fect health. "When found in the
water the crown of 'his head was just
above thesurface, and he was stand
ing in a stooping position, with his
face just under the water. At the
place where he was the water was
only three feet four inches deep,'
while the boy's height, was four-feet
nine inches. The temperature of the
water was seventy-five degrees.. The
medical testimony disclosed the fact
that the deceased had eaten heartily
just before entering the water, or at
least had not given his food time to
digest. lie' had vdmited a large
quantity of food, and when found' his
mouth and throat were full. "-The
opinion was expressed in the medical
testimony, and endorsed by the ver
dict of the jury, that death resulted
from epilepsy, brought on by the dan
gerous practice of entering the water
immediately after eating a meal.
The Emperor William, on his way
to Coberg, breakfasted at Eisenach. 1
About the table were eight clrdrsanda
sofa with cushions. The Emperor
asked the waiter for whom the sola
wjk placed there. "Ear your Imperial
3lnjpsty," taid the waiter. "Take it
away," replied the monarch, "and give
me a chair like the others." This incident
ib characterise to the Emperor, who will
not submit, when tiaveling, to be distin
guished in any uvy from hi lvthmc.
According to an Olympia paper it
takes the steamer owned in that place
a whole day to tow a raft of logs from
the Marshfield bridge to Tumwater, a
distance of two miles.
Poor Old Dog Why Did You Stray.

That every dog must have iU day:
Some i-hare ihe fateoi "poor old Tray."
Poor old dog why did you stray.

Only a wag and a hai k to ny

Poor old dog why did .you stray,

Poor old dog why did you stray,
Come tell me ere you pa away ;
Yon will soon go mad and then thev'll

Poor old dog why did you stray.
