Do you ever shut your eyes and call up tho hun dreds of laces you havo met during tho day, and wonder if tho paleness of death will cover any of them before tho mor row? When you have been retracted to a face, even it be a stranger's, do you let it drop from memory with dreams, or do you call it up again and again as night comes down, and hopo it may not loso any of its brightness in tho whirling mists of time ? So "Whisky Bill" was hunted down. An inauiry hero nud there fluidly traced him to a little brown cottage on a by street. IIo sat on tho step in tho twi light, a burly, broad-shouldered man of Oily, and in tho houso th reo or four chil dren gathered around a lamp to look ut a pir.turo book.

An usl informed mo that two persons wished BOO me. I saw the visitors. They w two Americana of tho purest Yan] type, who represented themselves to an unknown friends. They had read : books, thoy said, and wished pnrticul ly to seo me. I thanked them, and th thinking that they probably wished attend a sc&sioD, I offered them seats. "No," thoy said ; "all wo wont is seo tho chamber where tho sessions : hold." I conducted them thither. As soon they had entered, without eveu cast a rapid glanca around to take in the pearance cf tho chamber, they asked "Could you show us M. Gambol Boat?" Much surprised rt this curiosity 1 n crtholess acceded to tho desiro of Yankees, and pointed out to thom placo whore M. Gambetta, who had yet becomo tho President of tho Chi oer, habitually eat. Thereupon tho Americans, one after tho other, coo sedately, methodically, with olosed 1 serious air and Axed looks, like men gaged in performing n grave duty i one demanding precision, sat down tho chair, rose and sat down again, after the other, as if they wero test tho firmness of the seat. Stup?fi?e watchea too acere, striving to une stand this slngulai manner of visit the Chamber of Deputies, when ono the Yankees asked me : "M. Louis Blanc, will you have goodness to show us your seat, also?" Curious to watch their conduct at scat, I led them to it. Without opon their lips, they went through the ide cal performance, rising and reseal themselves, each one in his turn, like gymnasts repeating an exercise. Wu eli it was over, each drew from pocket a memorandum book, and wr "Chamber of Deputies, Versailles, in the chain of tho Honorable Me Gambotta nnd Louis Blanc, Deputies - Tho New York public are in nant at what they call a trick playci the Legislature by tho milkmen.

Miniating thc Man. Thc somewhat striking resemblance of Hon. Oscar Turner, a Democratic mem ber of Congress from Kentucky, to Mr. Robinson, tho Chuirmnn of thc Repub lican Executive Committee of Ohio, re sulted the other day in the exposure of the true character of thc National View, a Greenback paper, tho publication of which was commenced in Washington a few months ago. Mr. Lee (?ramlall, a Greenback writer of some notoriety, is the editor and proprietor of the ?oft money organ. Ever since the paper was started he has assailed both political parties as untrue to the cause of "'more money," and has urged the Nationals to have nothing to do with either-to pre serve their independence and thus ob tain control of thc Government at tho next election. When the Democrats ol Ohio nominated General Ewing, a prom inent advocate of tho Greenback doc trine, for Governor, it was generally be lieved that thc Nationals of the State would support the ticket. Hut Mr. Ley Crandall and tho National View were vio lent in their opposition to such un alli ance, und insisted thai tho Nationals should put candidates of their own in tho field and prepare for a triangular con test. It was and is apparent to every one that in a campaign nf this character tho third party luis no chance of success. All that it can ?lo is to take a few thousand votes from the Democracy, and injure the party to thal exteut. Hut tho course so zealously advocated by .Mr. Lee Gran dull and tho National Victo was adopted. The Ohio Nationals met in convention, decided not to support General Ewing and put a full ticket in thu field. One wing of the party, however, recognized the utter folly of tim movement and ci '.'cd another convention to meet in To ledo for tho purpose of repudiating what lind been dono at Columbus. Against this Toledo meeting Mr. Lee (?randall and the National View directed their heaviest batteries. They did not for a moment wish to contribute to the success of Mr. Foster mid the bani money Re publicans, but thc financial declarations of tlic Democratic platform were not pro nounced enough for them, and they had good reason to believe that the people of Ohio would rise in their might ut the next election, defeat both Democrats and Republicans and place the .State in the hands of thc apostles uf tho true faith. I Thc absurdity of such expectation was I apparent, but people have some respect for men who profess to bo battling for principle, amt thc National organ and its editor were regarded as sentimentalists who preferred no bread to half a loaf. Rut the remarkable resemblances of Mr. Turner to Mr. Robinson, alluded to in the beginning of this article, has caused the editor of tho National View to appear in a very different light. Mr. Robinson bas not been long in Washington and is not very well known to Hon. J. A. Hub bell, of Michigan, thc Chairman of the Republican Cnii?ression?! Committee. Nor does Mr. Hubbcll know Mr. Turner. Mr. Robinson hud, iii some mysterious way, been made free of tho floor of the HOUBO. Mr. Turner hus for some time been using a crutch, bub the other morn ing entered the llouso without this aid to locomotion. While passing the Repub lican side of the Chamber an thc v.r.y to bis sent, very much to bis surprise ho was accosted by a gentleman who said he do Hired to Hpeak with him. Wo now let Mr. Turner tell tho Btory : "Stepping back a few paces, ho asked mo if I knew tho editor of tho Groen buelr paper on iVnnsyUaniu avenue. I told bim I did not remember bim. Ho remarked that he was "rendering us great or valuable service in Ohio and Ken lucky ; that ho had attend d tho convention in Ohio and was instru mental in preventing n fusion be tween the Dcmocruts and Grccnbackers and that ho was sending thousands of his papers into Kentucky and Ohio, and making inroads into the Democratic party and doing us much good." He Vid: "Weare aiding him, und it re quires a good deni of money, and 1 would like that you would aid him." I nsked him what was tho editor's name. He nulled a card out of his pocket and said : Lee Grandall." I looked at him with surprise and inado no reply. Ho then asked mo to take tho matter under con considcration and aid him if I could, und turned around and walked oil"." When tho D?mocratie member from Kentucky recovered from his surprise ho asked au acquaintance standing by tho name of tho gentleman with whom ho i bud been talking, and was informed that thc drummer for tho National organ was no less a person than Mr. Hubbull, t'.j Chairman of the Republican Congression al Committee. Tho fortunate mistake has fully revealed tho truo character of the National View and its editor, and their earnest advocacy of a third ticket in Ohio is fully explained. They uro sim ply paid by tho Republicans to attempt to divido tho Democracy and bring about a Kenublic.m victory. After thia expos ure, however, they will not have much influence with tho Greenbackers of Ohio or of any other State."-Augusta ( kron ide and Constitutionalist. MAN AS A BONNET BUYER.--"New bonnet, new bonnet-$12 for a new bon net!" exclaimed Mr. Slick tho other evening, aa his wifo suggested a chango from tho winter styles. "Yea, only $12," she humbly replied. "$12 for a bonnet is a confounded out rage, and I know it I" ho went on. "Why, I can buy two fine silk hats for that money, and havo some strawberry chango left I' It's a dead swindle to ask $12 for a bonnet." "Well, I can't do better, Mr. Slick. That's tho price, and I must pay or go without." "You don't knt 'v how to buy-th-.i's what ails you?" he growled. "I'll bei money I can buy a $12 bonnet for 5-3. It's all in knowing how to hundi? the sales men." "I wish you'd trv it," sho suggested. "I will, by George 1 1 willi I'll bring ou up a new bonnet in tho morning and 'll get it $4 cheaper than you dare to I" Mr. Slick was as good as his word. Ho went into a millinery store noxt fore noon with his oyo teeth nil sharnnned. and with the idea in bis mind that every bonnet in tho store was priced at exactly $12. Ho looked around a little, selecting a bonnet that pleased him, and pointing his caue at it and caiiing up his deepest voice, he inquired: "Are you asking $12 for that bonnet 1" The woman flushed, looked from the bennet to the man, and was trying to re ply, ;?hen ho f-aid : ''Theso aro not the times for outrageous prices, and all buyers realize it. I'll give you $tf for that bonnet, and not n cent more.' "That-that bonnet-" "?$8, and no more 1" ho interrupted ; and she put thcorticlo in a box and took his money. "What'd I tell my wife, oh?" he whis pered, as he went out. "I toll you it takes a man to buy goods, no matter whether it's fence posts or paper cam bric I" When he sat down at home and took the cover off the box and held up the bonnet, Mrs. Slick inquired : "How much did she chargo you ?" "$8. madam; while you would havo paid $121" "Richard 1" she said, as she tried to laugh all over at once, "I was with the lady next '?oor when oho ordered that bonnet for ncr cook, and tho price was to be Sri.

CYCIX>NEH.-Mr. Harham, Sn Nature, concluder that "n cyclone in occasioned by the meeting and passing each otbei of a northerly and southerly current, so that they pass each other on the left hand respectively." Supposing thin to be true for thc northern h?misph?re, We must for tho southern hemisphere sub stitute right hand for left. There is nothing in this contrary to dynamical principles, but the facts of the geographical disposition of cyclones ap pear to show that the eddies or whirls in which they originate are formed, not by north and south currents passing each other, but by tPc snnie meeting ench other: that is to tay, in the zone where thc north and south trade winds meet, when this zone is at some distance from tho equator. Cyclones aro not formed in or near thc equator, because there the earth lins no rotation relatively to an axis drawn vertically to its surface. Mr. Ulan ford has written in Nature, showing that Mr. Harham has not ac counted for the motive power of the cy clone, and explaining it hy thc libera tion of latent heat from the condensation 1 of vapor In nu ascending current at the center of thc cyclone. This explanation was the first given by Iv*py in his "Phi losophy of Storms." and is certainly true. But tl?*' two questions are quite distinct, viz: What sets tho cyclone going? and, How is ii supplied with motivo power? Three conditions are needful for the formation of a cyclone-first, an eddy produced where currents of air meet ; second, suflicient "steam power of the atmosphere," ns Espy calls it, to produce a strong in-draft tu thc center of the eddy; third, a position sulliciciltly far from the equator for the currents of air towards the center to he sensibly deflec ted by the earth's rotation. Hut how is the in draft first set up? I reply, by the centrifugal force of the eddy causing a barometic depression at its center, whence follow cold, thc con densation of vapor, and thc liberation of heat which has been latent. The liber ated heat expands the air in Ibo upper strata, thus supplying tho motive power of the cyclone.-J. J. Murphy in Na ture. A ROMANCE OF THE NORTHWEST. Eleven years ago, the daughter of W. II. Wallace-a little girl of seven years was abducted from her father's house, in Portland, Oregon. Wallace searched high and low for lier, ami though he felt certain that her mother from whom he was separated, had tixken her, there was no clew as to her whereabouts. Une day recently the father was surprised to receive a dainty, perfumed missive, ad dressed in n neut hand. Ho was still more surpr. i when tho words "My dearest father," mot his eye. He read through his tears Mint his Lillian was living with her mother at Yakima and that she had determined to reconcile her parents or to live first with tho one nnd then with the other. She said lier moth er put her in the Sisters' school at Van couver, and that she had been cdncated there Wallace remembered that he had been a policeman nt Vancouver during a part of tho timo mentinned by his daughter, nnd lind passed n thousand tim?0 UH 1er the shadow of the school. He hastened to Yakima, and it was agreed thal ibero should bc a reconcilia tion. Miss Lillian is a handsome young lady of eighteen now, and the part she played in the romance makes her tho heroine of Portland andof the far North west. Miss Du KB AT HOME.-Tho New York Herald?? correspondent nt Snow Hill, Maryland, telegraphs ILS follows: "Miss Lillie Huer, who was released from imprisonment Friday, arrived at Poco moke City that evening, and was received with demonstrations ol joy hy her friends, who called upon her at her father's house. In taking leave of a gentleman who drove her homo from Snow Hill, and who had expressed a polite wish to see her again whenever she visited that town, she said : 'I never want to sec Snow Hill ngain ; I nm done with courts nnd pistols forever.' It will he remembered that tho pistol with which she shot Ella Hearn was bought in Snow Hill. As soon as J migo Wilson passed sentence upon the prisoner, her lawyers entered into recognizance for thc fine, and her friends piLssed a paper around for subscriptions to help the father pay tho money, his slender means hav lng] ieen exhausted by tho expenses of tho trial. Two hun dred dollars was raited in Snow 1 lili and vicinity in a few hours, and the remain der will be subscribed in Pocomoke." ORGANIZING A WORLD'S FAIR.-Tho citizens' committee of the proposed World's Fair to be held in New York held a meeting Monday evening. The sub-committee on organization and clas sification recommended first, that the proposed World's Fair bo held in tho city of New York in 188I1; second that it be held under thc direction of one organ zatiou, bo created by act of Congress, consisting of commissioners from the dif ferent States and Territories, and from the city of New York and other promi nent cities of tho United States, giving a Buflicient numbor to New York city to constitute and effective working execu tive committee ; third, that this report be submitted to tho National convention called to meet in New York. Tho report was adopted and referred to the National convention. Mr. H. O. Stebbins was elected permnncnt president. The chair man stated that already fifteen States, eighteen cities and fourteen commercial organizations, representing T7G del egates, had intimated their intention of being represented at tho convention.

WHISKEY.-Wben Geo. W. William!*, tho Charleston millionaire, was a young man, lie became a partner in a wholesale grocery house in Augusts, Ga. The sale of liquors was a leading feature and principal part of tho busi ness curried on by thc firm. Thc thing went on until the death of a man Wai) traced to a barrel of whiskey that had gone out ol that establishment. Heing well grounded in tho principles of religion and temperance, Williams was shocked and distressed by thc Bad even? and determined to free himself from fut, thercomplicity in the liquor trafic, lie put his foot down on that branch of thebusi Incas, and declared tbnt no more liquor should be sold by the firm of which ho wu? a member. Friends remonstrated, alleging that tho bouse chiefly made its money through the sale of liquors, and that if this trallh: were discontinued the I concern would break. Williams stood firm, the sale of liquors waa abandoned, j but thc business of the house, instead of ' declining, increased. Williams after wards removed to Charleston, aud has ? been steadily prosperous, until he ranks among the richest men of tho South. Exchange. A WA UNI NU JO COTTON PLANTERS. It may bo well for planters to remem ber that if they are in position to hold their cmp during the months of Septem ber, October and November, they have absolute control of tho market, and it may happen that all this gambling which has been going on may result in high prices ami profitable markets, if the gold men have really turned thei atten tion to cotton sp?culation, as seems to be evident, th<> only substantial thing about thc whole business will bc the cool and conservative! farmer who is able to hold bis colton until such time as may be to his interests to place it upon thc market. The speculators may have the power to run the price of thc staple down or to raise it up, and it may happen that their madness may sometimes ailed thc inter ests of tho producer unfavorably, but their itiflucnco ?B only temporary, ami, in j any event, it is not often the ouse that the planters sutler when the market is active. Fortunate for them if they have so arranged their affairs as to bo able to watch the antics of the speculators with indifference until the figures offered jus tify them in turning their crop loose among thc wild gamblers of Wall street. -A (tnuta ( vmttbttion.

When the sentences were being passed, Wildncr requested tho Colonel to call tho attention of tho Judge to the fact that ho had been a true and faithful Union soldier, which was done. The Judge replied that "for that reason lie should havo hoon p. bolter citizen," and sentenced him to the Penitentiary for one year. Lewis, the more notorious ol the two, got off with ono month in jail. Turning to Lewis, Wildner said, "I don't see why ho sent mo to the Pen itentiary and not you."
