J Thit have a report In New llamp 1 shire that Gen. B. F. Butler will slump that State In tbe coming campaign lo tbe interest of tbe Greenbackeri. Artificial boney-comb has been die - covered, and ii acceplod by tbe lees. This leaves Ibe little-workers to work on Industriously without caring bow time wsxei aud wanes. Beaconsfield was asked tbe other day bow the Rutslani would construe a certain paragraph In Lord Salisbury's circular. "They wou't construe it," wai tbe Premier's answer, "they will decline It." After delivering bis letter to the Democratic Executive Committee of 1, 1 the Eighth Georgia Disrict, Alexander ; l Stephens lost In weight three penny- ' weigbti and nine grains. Ills body I servant bad bard work to flh bim out f of tbe luk-stand. OriNio.NS will differ. William Cul len Bryant always believed that his vital powers were sustained by vigor ous daily exercise with dumb bell. Now, here comes G. F. Train lo say (bat tbe exercise wasted Mr. Bryant's energlos aud shortened bit life. A novel kind of pairing off has beeu iutroduced in tbe Post-office Depart ment, where some Republican Clerks decline to pay the political assessment levied upon them, on the ground that they have paired off with other fellow clerks of the Democratic faith. Regardino campaign contributions, Mr. Ilayei agreei with Mr. Schmz, tbtt "clerks have a right to spend their money at their political principlei or publio spirit dictate." This limply meani that money in any sums Irom Department employees to seenra tbe election of Republicans to office, will be gladly received. Gin. Bob Toombs bai been Inter- viewed upon Alex. Stephens's posi tion. Stephens's vote on tbe lisle resolution, be thinks, was wrong, bnt be ii going to vote for him nevertbe . less, whether be runs as Independent or not. Stephens, he says, is honest, capable, ind true, and the people of Georgia are going to stand by bim. The rats are becoming very trouble some in Washington City. When Beast Butler, the other day, called upon tbe Manager of tbe Atlantic and Pa cific Telegraph Company to produce certain important dispatcbei bearing on the electoral frauds, the witness de clared that the rati had devoured them. Old Ben. very appropriately asked, "what rati?" and then produced the original telegrami from bii capa cious pocketi. It comes from Washington that (he real conspirators, after all, are Ben. Butler, Roscoe Conkllngand Pitkin, of Louisiana. When Pitkin reached Washington, the other night, be went 'straight to Butlor'i house, and the next day he walked the floor of the Senate arm-in-arm with Conkling. Of course i there Is danger in all this, and it is cer- talnly about time these men gave the country some assurance tbattbey don t Intend to stir up a revolution aud land Tilden In tbe White House. The coun try bad ratber not be Mezicin'zed without wirniog. Mr. Sturgeon, tbe Chairman of Ibe Execntiva Committie of tbe National party, In an Interview printed In tbe New York Herald, probably overesti mate! the strength of bis organization, but there can be but "ttle doubt that It will poll tbii Fall sufficient votes to upset the calculation! of lome of the politicians. He txpecti to carry Maine certain, and New York outside tbe city. In Indiana and Michigan tbe Na tionals are represented as being very strong, and Pennsylvania is thoroughly organized. Tbey have no sympathy with Communism. All their battles will be fought al the ballot-box. Gen.bal Myer otherwise "Old Probabilities" Is said to be intensely disnalitflod with any failures in the da;ly average of weather repot i, and asserts thai In len years' llin; success will come. All such failures come from tbe ocean and tbe northeast. He has, it Is reported, a plan to anchor six ships at distances of 250 miles each, just like the lightsbip off tbe High lands, to pot them In telegraphio com munication with tbe Atlantio cable, lo make tbem floating harbors of refuge so (hat any boat's crew on the main channel of commerce could reach a home and shelter, witbin a Utile more than a hundred miles, aud 10 that (he newi of any disaster, any gale, any low Urometer, any storm Impending on our northern coist, could come to bim In his office at Washington.

First, it bad regenerated tbe Russian army, and second, It had sunk England to a lower depth than ibe had boen be fore. And if the went lo war with Russia It would be safe to predict, said he, tbat when ibe came out of it ibe wonld be sunk to a still lower depth. "To-night," he resumed, ''there is a very Interesting gentlemai sipping wine In Berlin.

A MAR WITH MANIA-A-POTO STABS HIS BIST FRIEND WITH A BUTCHER KM IF!. Philadelphia Times.l Yesterday morning about 0 o'clock James Davis, wbile loseesscd by ibe demon of manla-a-ooiu. stabbed with a butcher-knife Robert T. Horn, a young man oi i years, wnom ne called His best friend, tbe latter lying asleep at tbe lime In bis room in tbe Friendly Inn Lodging-house for Christian Young Men, at No. 1,613 Market street, making a dangerous wound. No motive for tbe crime rxlsts, Davis, when Interrogated after his arrest, say ing be did it because he loved bim so. Hsrn Is about 19 years or age. gen tlemanly, a handsome blonde and of good parentage, his father having been lormer Postmaster at Easton, Pa. He met with reverses some time since and tbe young man camo to this city to try bii cbancei. He lodged at the Friendly Iun, then known as the Modol Coffee House, a genteel place, superior lo the general run of -uch places, aud soon wai created a-Uiant clerk. Davis was from New York and wis formally a bard drinker, but reformed for about six months and went to New Jersey witb a stock of books some time since. Wbile there be was arrested for some offense and, as be averred, his money, 70, wu taken from bim and not re turned to bim. Ue came back lo Phila delphia and' again became an inebriate, and for a month pail has been on a de bauch. On Friday last be acted io strangely tbat oue of tbe attendanti started with bim to tbe police station. He remarked on Ibe way, "I feel bad ; I'll kill somebody before I'm through yet." Tbii sanguinary idea stuck to his brain ever since. Yesterday morning he rose early, and wbilo the man was making the Ores be stole softly down alaln to tbe kitchen, grabbed up a large, koen edged and sharp-pointed butcher knife from a table aud ran swiftly up-itairs lo the third-story room. Hero Horn lay asleep, unconscious of (he Impend ing blow, which was iustaully after ward delivered, the knlfo being plunged into bli back under (bo rigbl shoulder blade, penetrating tbe lower portion or tbe right lung. Young Horn awoke with a sharp agony, but dazjd, and cried out. Davis sued quickly down Hairs and out or doors, leaving Iho knife sticking in tbe wound. Androw McBirney beard Horn shr'ii, "What's tbii iu me? I'm cut," and ran up-Halri and drew out tue bloou-siaioed knire, which was followed by a stream of blood. Davis ran along the street, io which only a few old itaireri after their morning "nips" were yet stirring, and getting to ciguicenin aud itace streets pulled off bis coat and shirt, knotted tbe lat ter, lied It around bis neck, and then climbing tbe lamp-post, tied It to tue cross-piece securely aud sprang outward. David Mercer, employed to open Logan Square, happening along at (bis Juncture, and having preseuce of mind, aud seelug that Ibe would-be su icide was becoming black in tbe face and strangling, without more ado undid tbe knot on the cross-piece and let tbe human tassle fall lo tbo sidewalk. As soon as Davis revived, and, Ignorant ol tue oioouy wont be bad doue, Mercer look bim aron- 1 lo Lieut. Crelgbion's Statiou-hou-c in Filbert street, above firiccnth, w .ere tidingi or the atulr were alread.. known, and he was locked up. In conversation after his arreat he replied rationally enough, apparently, ibat be bad cut Horn because be loved bim and wai bli best friend. He said be contemplated committing tbe deed witb an ax at first, but on searching tbe yard could not flod it and io fell b ck on tbe butcher-knife. Magistrate Pole csmmitted Davii to prison to aw alt tbe rmlnatlon of Horn's wound. At tbe hospital Ibe physicians would not express any opinion concerning it, preferring to await the reaction and chances of subsequent inflammation. ibe physicians at the Pennsylvania Hospital late last evening, while be lleving Horn's wound to be lerions, laid it wai not likely to prove fatal be fore morning. Lleuteutant Crelgbton, as a precautionary measure, however, accompanied Magistrate role to the hospital, where Horn's ante-mortem deposition was taken, reciting tbe same lacii given above. Jim Hill, late Secretary of State, baa been nomluated to be Postmaster at Vicksburg in place of Pease. Hill Is a mulatto, made au excelleut Secretary of Slate aud a very respectable man of color. Pease is a carpet-bagger wbo was luiowu out of emplovmcut as a schoolmaster in New Jer.ey, and, leaving a sorry reputation behind bim, came down to Mississippi and took to Mississippi negroes and they took to bim. He bas been honored with high positions, occupying by executive ap pointment for a season, a seat in tbe United Slates Senate from Mississippi. After be left the Senate Grant appoint ed bim Postmaster at Vicksburg, some two years ago. There is a sort of fitness lu this thing, (hat a rather sorry wbite mm wbo bad riien by Ibe sup port of negroes should now step down and out to make room for a rather re spectable gentleman of color.

But it was "bonnet day" in Clay county, and all (be youth, beauty and elite of all the region! adjacent to Little Shoal Creek and Big Shoal Creek assembled to ihow off tbe Spring bonnets.

He has written many essays upon tbe vsrlous agricultural Imple ments, comb, belli and other articles of common dally use, tracing their his tory from Bible origin (0 (be present time. His writings are said to have at tracted much attention from literary people, especially (bose who delight in antiquities. Like his predecessor, Elibu Burritt, Ibis other "learned black smith," will probably be held op for years to come as a model tor the small boy wbo, it is suspected, takes more ietbetlcal delight in seeing the tescher bound from the wrong end or a crook ed pin Inadvertently placed in bis chair tban in tbe more complex labyrinth of mathematics or the clsssics.
