He was Attorney Gen­ eral in the Cabinet of President Polk from Oct 17, 1846, to June, 1848, following which he was for some time Minister to Mexico. In 1858 President Buchanan appointed him an Asso­ ciate Justice of the United States Supreme Court,and as such he officiated until a few months ago, when he was completely incapacitated by disease.

Crittenden, of Missouri, in conversatio* with a St Louis reporter, regarding the death of Judge Clifford, of the Supreme bench, stated that some time ago, when he (Critten­ den) was in Washington, Judge Clifford told him that he had prepared a complete and de­ tailed history of the Electoral Commission, of which he was a member, and that it would be published after his death, unless his wife,, who was the custodian of the manuscript, should otherwise decide. The Judge said its publica­ tion would create a sensation throughout the oountry. Each day brings forth fresh particu­ lars tending to prove Guiteau one of the mean­ est ruffians of this or any other country. His wife procured a divorce from him in the fall of 1873, and the base ruffian was one of the witnesses against himself, and induced the woman with whom he was guilty to take the stand also to testify that the charges of infi­ delity against him were true. At the time of the divorce Guiteau frequented the rooms of the New York Young Men's Christian Associa­ tion, and was a member of Calvary Baptist Church and attended religious services there. It is due to the church, however, to say that Guiteau was expelled by them, notwithstand­ ing the fact that he whined and pre­ tended penitence for his immoralities Mr. Van Marter, city editor of the National Democrat, of Peoria, 111..

France will not have WabhtkotoW, Jfaiyfcfc Iketewas a very decided improvement in the President's condition yesterday, and he seems to have already recovered the ground lost by the relapse which set in Saturday. He took an increased quantity of nourishment and reHshed it. He expressed himself re­ peatedly during the day as feeling much bet- tar. There was an entire absence of febrile feeling yesterday afternoon, which the physicians regard as a most-hopeful sign. For the first time in three weeks the patient's temperature at the evening examination was normal. There was a full, free discharge of healthy pus during the day. The patient has obtained more sleep than usual, and has been greatly refreshed thereby. The physicians ex­ press the belief that the improvement of yes­ terday was a permanent gam, and that the pa­ tient is on the way to complete recovery. The examinations of the President's wound which have been made within the last four days have led to a different conclusion as to the course and location of the ball from that which was at first entertained. It is now pret­ ty oertain that it did not penetrate the liver, and that, if it touched it, it grazed it in its downward course; that it is not located in the anterior wall of the abdomen, and did not trav­ erse the abdominal cavity, but went downward after being interrupted by the rib. and is now located in what the doctors describe as the right iliac fossa. This is the cavity between the front of the hip-bone and the ribs which contains the small intestines. No effort will be made to extract the ball at present unless it is found to be troublesome. A morning newspaper publishes an interview with Gen. Crocker, Warden of the jail, about Guiteau. Crocker said, speaking of Guiteau : "There has been no event in his life during the past week that has been worthy of men­ tion. He eats, sleeps and wakes up like any other prisoner. No one has come to see him from the day he was brought here. No one has manifested any friendly interest in him. He does not seem to have any friends. Guiteau is as quiet as any other prisoner. He seems to have made up hi* mind to patiently await the result. He has not asked for a lawyer. He has not asked to see any one. I asked him if he wanted a law­ yer. He said no, not at present He claims to be a lawyer himself. He knows enough not to talk. He is sane enough not to talk. He reads mostly the Bible and serious works. There is nothing peculiar about him. I take no stock in his insanity. There has been nothing in his actions here to indicate it any more than in the condition of other criminals. I don't think he is a •»" of strong moral convictions." Washington, July 29. The condition of the President continues favorable and encouraging. It is believed by one of the physicians that the patient will be able to leave his bed in ten days. While this appears a rather too sanguine state­ ment, the medical staff believe that the wound is healing, and that, unless some unforeseen change should occur, his re­ covery now is merely a matter of time. Last evening there was a slight rise in the pulse and in the temperature, caused by a stoppage of the drainage-tubes, which prevented tne regular flow of the pus. When the tubes were cleaned the flow resumed and the fever subsided. The patient rested quietly during the night and this morning is doing nicely. In the belief that the carpets in the sick-room secreted too much dust and absorbed impurities from the atmosphere, they were yes- teniay taken from the floor, after the Presi­ dent had been removed to another chamber, overlooking Lafayette Park. Washington, July 30. Yesterday was substantially a repetition of the day before in the President's case, except that the fever came on later in the evening, and was not so marked. The temperature through the day was normal, aud the pulse ranged from 92 to 98. The patient said that he felt decidedly better, and expressed a desire for more solid food. He also said that he felt stronger, and asked to be propped up in bed fcr a while. This re­ quest was granted by the surgeons, and for half an hour or so the* President, supported by pillows, sat up nearly erect in bed. This change of position gave him considerable re­ lief. and, upon lying down again, he fell asleep. All his surgeons speak most hopefully of him.

Of the f6i4,990,400, no less than $410,279,400 is held ui amounts of over $5J,oo0; $58,730,600 in amounts varying from $25,000Jto $50,000; $5a,143,850 in amounts exceeding $10,000 and reaching to $25,000; $41,079,900 in amouuts exceeding $5,000 and reaching to $10,000; $33,070,950 in amounts exceeding $2,500 and reaching to $6,000; $22,032,550 in amounts of over $1,000 and including $2,500; $13,097,260 in amounts of over $500 and including $1,000, and $755,900 inamounts of lees than $500. The general ^conclusions, Mr. Porter says, are that, while over 86 per cent, of the holders reside in the New England States, not more than li per cent, of the aggregate of bonds are owned in New England. On the other hand, over 42 per cent, of the holders have their residence in tho Middle States, and up­ ward of 40 per cent, of the aggregate amount of bonds are held in that section; over 3>tf per cent, of the holders reside in the Southern States, and about 2 per cent, of the bonds are owned there. In the Western States are 15 per cent, of the holders and nearly 8% per cent, of the bonds. The banks and other cor­ porations, representing in number only 2 per cent, own about 35 per oent. of the bonds. Let the Baby Sleep. Nurslings should, therefore, be per­ mitted to sleep to their full satisfaction ; weakly babies, especially, need sleep more than food, and it is the safest plan never to disturb a child's slumber while the regularity of its breathing indicates the healthfulness of its repose ; there is little danger of his "oversleeping" him­ self in a moderately warmed, well-venti­ lated room. Never mind about meal time; hunger will waken him at (jhe right moment or teach him to make up for lost time. Straw and Straw.

Why do you carry bur­ dens all the day on account of the fears of an unexplored next day, next week, next month ? Why do you fish on the troubled stream of fear and bring to land fish that have no money in their mouth? Why do you not say, "Let my life flow tranquil and pure in that higher realm of faith and trust and let the future take care of itself?" Austrian Dogs. In Austria, while the large dogB are made to work, and make themselves use­ ful in various ways, the little fellows are taken to the bosoms cf the ladies, and treated as if they were veritable angels. It is not uncommon, when traveling, to see almost every lady with a dog in her arms, and occasionally a footman or maid, whose sole duty in traveling with the mistress is to take care of the dog, and see that he has water and food on the route. The doctors tell many amusing anec­ dotes of having been called up at mid­ night aud finding that their services were needed for a poodle that had been over­ fed in the effort to kill them with kind­ ness. They could make heavier charges, with the assurance of prompt payment, in such cases, than if the patient had been a child or a husband. " Love me, love my dog," seems to be'tlie sehtiment of these ladies; and on one occasion Hie writer saw a finely-dressed lady, who had her dog in her arms, take off her gloves while standing in a railway sta­ tion, and diligently pursue and kill a flea which she had discovered depredat­ ing among the fleece of her favorite. It is quite common to see them led tender­ ly along with ribbons, and in some cases to see a gold chain attached to a lady's belt, and at the other end of the chain a poodle dog traveling by her side or re­ posing in her arms. Signs in the shop windows tell you that "Dog soap is sold here," and that various patent compounds that will in­ duce canine health and longevity are on sale. A lady walking in any of the pub­ lic grounds with a dog is sure to bo ao- costed by a number of seedy-looking in­ dividuals, who will draw out of their pockets pups, which they offer for sale. The offering for sale of anything in the public grounds being prohibited, they thus keep them concealed in their pock­ ets. In the upper grades of life a moth­ er trusts her children to servants and governesses, but her poodle dog she keeps under her own eye; and a scream from the nursery might pass unheeded, but a yelp from the drawing-room or the boudoir would startle "her Ladyship" from the soundest sleep. Of course there are exceptional cases, but it in­ cludes most of those who aspire to fash­ ionable life. We see dogs caressed much more than children are, and their eomfort studied with jealous care. It is not till the bloom of fancy begin® to f«de that the heart ripens to the pas­ sion that the bloom precedes and fore- tall*. that the stars which hold their mighty festival around the mid-night throne are set above, the grasp of our limited faculties, fowirer mocking us with their unapproachqpte glory. And finally why , is it that thS bright forms of human beauty sire presented to our view and then taken worn us, leaving the thou­ sand streams of the affections to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts? We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades; where the stars will be spread out before us like the islands that slumber upon the bosom of the ocean, and where the beautiful beings that here pass before us like visions will stay in our presence for- ever.--.George l\ Prentice. Editorial Courtesy. _ A Wausau paper recently referred to a rival editor as a "whisky-swilling dead beat, w^iose breath was a pestilence," etc.,Tt>ut this was probably a figure of speech, and not intended to be construed literally--a sort of poetic license. Other remarks of a similar nature have occa­ sionally been dropped, in a moment of absent-mindedness on the part of the editor, but on the whole we are proud of the country press, and a comparison of it with the great metropolitan dailies is greatly to its credit. We hope to see the Wisconsin press become a model for other editors to pattern after--remem­ bering always that harsh words can never be recalled, but that kind words never die. If an editor cannot say a good thing of a man, there is no law compelling him to say anything. But if tlie individual is altogether bad, and his objects and aims are against the best interests of the community--if, in short, he averages more deviltry than decency to the acre--then op^n on him wiih grape and cannister at short range, and never let up as long a% there is anything left that is an inch high. Churn him, walk on him with spikes in your boots, and lift him up tenderly with nitro­ glycerine bombs. Make him think you are dieplf ased about something. Should he come into the office and offer to whale something out of you, as a slight testimonial, you will have to be guided entirely by circumstances in the matter--it is a pomt upon which we can give no advice. Under some circum­ stances an editor would be entirely justified in knocking the man down and throwing him out of the window, while others might find it of value to apologize. It is merely a matter of taste.--Mil­ waukee Sun. A Young Lady's Strategy. A level-headod young wooaan in Mon­ treal found her way out of a dilemma the other day, and the example ought to be of profit to the young aud fair else­ where. She had aroused an uncontrolla­ ble passion iu the, l»etugt.pf a young law ­ yer, wlicBn, however, she did nol -cure to wed. i .Ife fxrew: gloomy and morose, took A tnp to; Europe, returned to Montreal, fell into lax ways and was going gener­ ally to the dogs. Meeting the young lady ou the street one day she resumed the old, ^eqjiaintapce Vitl* warmth. Encour­ aged by the smiling reception, the young man suggested a drive. This being re-1 fused lie proposed a walk instead. To this the lady consented. They walked far, he telling the story of his trip, to which she listened with interest. Fi­ nally arriving in the limits of Mount Koyal Park, where there was no possi­ bility of interference, the lover drew a pistol, grimly informing the astonished girl that unless she consented to go at once with him to a minister and get mar­ ried he would blow her brains out and then his own. She seems to have been quite equal to the emergency. Assent­ ing to visit the minister they set out at once and ou arriving the clever girl placed herself under the minister's pro­ tection and the lover retired, embittered and vowing destruction upon himself for trusting a woman's word even at the al­ tar. " A Higher Destiny. It fan not be that earth is man's abiding place. It can not be that our life is a bubble cast upon the ocean of eternit}*, to float a moment upon its surface and then go into nothingness and darkness forever. Else why is it that the high and glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the tem­ ples of our hearts are forever" wander­ ing abroad unsatisfied ? Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud come over with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off and leave us to muse on their faded loveliness. Why is it The Queen and th« Poor Peasant The accident of royal notice and pat­ ronage has often lifted worthy persons and families of humble birth into refine­ ment and places of distinction. An ad­ venture pointing to such a result is re-v lated in this recent story of the Queen of Italy. , . It appears that, as she was driving to the royal wood of Licalo the coachman mistook the road, and one of the gentle­ men asked a countryman the way. The man, seeing the fine carriage and horses, and the servants' livery, and all the gay company, thought he was being fooled. " As if you did not know !" he said, with a big grin. The Queen laughed, and assured him that tliey were lost. Then only did the countryman condescend to point out the way, after which he walked off as if fearing to be laughed at again. " Give him 20 francs for his trouble," said the Queen to one of her escort, who, going after the countryman, said to him: " Here, my man, is a little present from the Queen of Italy, who thanks " The Queen 1" cried the countryman, returning to the carriage. "Forgive me that I did not know thee. But I had never seen thee before. Thou art as beautiful' AS-'a May rose. God bless thee." .And the carriage drove off, Now the eotntryman, who had' once seen the Queen, wanted to see her pretty face again, and the following day he presented himself at the palace. " I know her, you know," he added, mysteriously. " I spoke to her yester­ day, and I want to speak to her again." Thinking he had to do with a madman, the porter was about to have the poor fellow arrested, wiien the very gentleman who had given him the 20 francs ap­ peared. and, recognizing the man, told him to wait. He informed the Queen of his presence. " Bring him here, by all means," was her answer. When the man was, for the second time, before the Queen, he said : " Yes, 'tis thou. I thought I had seen a fairy. Thou art just an angel. I did not tell thee yesterday that I htd two little ones without a mqth$r, • WUt thon be their mother ?" " That I will," said the Queen. " Then there'ri the 20 francs thou f .vest me yesterday. I thank thee, but want no money." And he went away, crying and smiling like a child. The Queen has adopted the two little ones, and they are in an institution un­ der her special patronage. Prehistoric Man. In Yucatan some discoveries have been made of a very interesting character, mainly by Dr. Lb Plongeon, the agent of the American Archaeological Institute, who has excavated the ruins of Mayapan, once the capital of Myras, a powerful tribe among the aboriginal inhabitants. The later history of that important town is well known ; for, less than a century before the arrival of the Spanish invaders the King of the tribe had been murdered by his nobles, his, followers dispersed and the £oyal city destroyed, so that the objects brought to light by Dr. Le Plongeon's exertions find their place im­ mediately as historical documents. Up®, There fti Fraud ia Hnrder. ^ 111 this job of glucose and stuff #» are prepay! Mmve there is fraud in. almost everything, but we had hoped, that those .terrible Western fights, where a buHj enters a bar-room, caB all hands up to mint, and laoonioally kills those who refuse, would never be other the genuine article. But it seems there is fraud even in those breezy butcher- ings by Western bull-whackers, and the last grain of our faith in humanity has run out. Fear we have always looked, for deceit and sham in the well dressed classes, among bankers and millionaires, while having implicit faith in the hon­ esty and simplicity of the Western pro­ fessional murderer. Recently, however, in a New Mexico mining town two boon companions have been plaving a game which, to speak mildly, is of the sneak- ingest kind.- • One would enter a saloon, and for half an hour nervously walk the floor. At the end of that time his friend would enter, when they would glare at each other, utter a few common­ place mining phrases, draw their re­ volvers and open fire at a point about a foot above each other?s heads. The congregation would disperse without Waiting for the benedictioii, and one of of the shooters would dodge behind the bar, evidently for a barricade, and nestle alongside the crouching bar­ tender, who, when a bullet came within an inch or two of his head, would natur­ ally seek the open air for its well-known life giving properties. Then would en­ sue a life and death struggle between the two men behind the bar and the first demijohn they could get hold of. After a while they would emerge from the saloon door, vow that they would se­ cure a supply of ammunition and shoot each other on sight, and then go away to experience the beneficial effects of the bath they had taken internally. When it gets so there is fraud in murder things are getting pretty bad.--Pert?# Sun. A Prince's Obtnsencss. f The fondness of the late Prince Peter of Oldenburg for artificial fish-breeding had become a passion. After the man­ ner of that Grand Duke of Tuscany who owned a Raphael Madonna and insisted that it should always accompany V»iin on his travels, Prince Peter was accustomed to take with him when traveling a cer­ tain number of gold fish. Baron Roths­ child, of Frankfort, shared this passion with him, and, in his winter garden, had a beautiful basin filled with fish and sur­ rounded by plants of the rarest and most expensive kind. One day when the Prince was in Frankfort he took it upon himself to call oft the Baron, having al­ ready heard of his fish. Of course, the Baron felt honored by this, and received his princely guest as it was becoming that he should. It so happened that these costly plants were at that time in bloom, and it was a matter for doubt whether the Baron cared most for them or for the fish. But the Prince, caring nothing t'of the plants, and ignorant of their value, pr forgetful of it in his en­ thusiasm for the fish, broke off some of the blossoms and threw them upon the water to attract upward the fish from be­ low. The Baron, while making a long face as he saw this done, had too much tact to interrupt the Prince, and simply directed a sevaut to bring some fine bread. When the servant returned the Prince looked at the bread with great surprise, but recovered himself soon and then politely said: "Bread--ah! isn't it? Very kind of you, very amiable indeed!" He then ate the bread, and went on picking off the blossoms and throwing at the fish as before. --New York Time. V May Chilton. There is a beautiful tradition that the I first foot which passed the snow-clad j rock of Plymouth was that of May Chil- j ton, a fair young maiden ; and that the I last survivor of those heroic . pioneers Among other things, portrait sculptures ! 'was May Allerton, who lived to see the of the unfortunate King have been dis- 1 planting of twelve out of the thirteen covered, which are at once recognized as similar in face and figure to bas-reliefs of Chichen Itza, the metropolis of Yuca­ tan, where the Lords Paramount held their C rart, and where the King of Myras is represented as doing a sort of homage to the Suzerain. The coincidence seems to point to a period of special artistic development throughout that region, when pictorial or sculptured rep­ resentations of the affairs of daily life had become somewhat habitual. Further proofs of enlightenment are found in astronomical instruments, such as stone dials of aceurate workmanship,; which were found still standing On a smooth colonies which formed the nucleus of the United States. In the Mayflower eigh­ teen wives accompanied their husbands to a waste land, and uninhabited save by the wily and vengeful savage. On tne unfloored hut, she, who had been nurtured amid the rich carpets and draperies of the mother land, rocked her new-born babe, and complained not. She, who in the home of her youth had arranged the gorgeous shades of embroidery, compounded the rich veni­ son partly as her share of the home- keeping, now pounded the coarse Indian corn for her children's bread, and bade them osk Goil's blessing ere they took platform, covered only with a few inches 1 their scanty portions, of vegetable mold. Various observations ; sifted through their were made in regard to the religious em­ blems discovered, but beyond a strong resemblance of some of them to those of Eastern Asia, no extraordinary de­ velopments are made. Dr. Le Plongeon's accounts show a remarkable and interest­ ing continuity of langiiAge, family names, and even of habits, between the ancient inliabitants of Yucatan and their modern descendants. It has been well said that all archaeological discovery originates in the endeavor to investigate traditions, which survive after brick and stone have crumbled to dttst; and it is very probable that further acquaintance with the friendly and civilized and natives may furnish clues to discoveries of great im­ portance.--New York Star. Men Who Make Journalists. It has been remarked that very few men who get into journalism start out with such intention. They drift in ac- cidentally, are p^omptsd as they develop capacity. Money, wealthy parents and influence are of no'sort of service in get­ ting a young man a place on a news­ paper. There is 110 business that is so entirely independent of aU these con­ siderations as *!#». A wealthy father can easily get his son a location to read law or medicine, or push him forward in almost any rank in life he njay select; but he is utterly powerless to do any­ thing for him in a journalistic way. l"o be sure he may buy a newspaper, and set him up in that way, but unless there is something in him called "journalistic knack," a natural knowledge of what to write and how to write it, he will be a failure in that line, and all the money and influence of wealthy and perhaps powerful relatives will count for nothing. Some fond parents educate their sons with the special view of making jour­ nalists of them ; but it is rare that we hear of these young men after a few years. Meanwhile, some youth borjT among the hills, having nothing more than a common school education, and the knowledge scraped up in a country printing office, will advance to the front rank in the profession. He has the journalistic knack, and forces recogni­ tion because he has it. He gets into a good position, not because he has wealthy }>arents to influence the proprietors of eading. newspapers, but because he knows what to write and how to write it. His articles go in because they supply a demand, while perhaps the elaborate essays of a man educated on two con­ tinents are east into the waste basket When the snows miserable roofs upon the little ones, she gathered them closer to her bosom; she taught them the evening prayer and holy hymn, though the war-whoop of the Indian rang through the wild. Amid the untold hardships of colonial life she infused new strength into her husband by her firmness, and solaced his weary hours by her love.--Mrs. Lydia Slgourneg.
