DISGUSTED WITH HIS OWN.-Tho New? says a Northern capitalist made up his mind to invest several hundred thousand dollars in real estate Sn Charleston. All his prepossessions wore in our favor, and being a steadfast Republican, our radi? cal Stain government had no terrors for ljuno.' . But he thought it best to visit the city, and look about for himself. Soon after l?a arrival a regular meeting of tho City Council was held, and onr stranger, led fey curiosity, was prosent during thc session. The next morning ho picked np his trunks and went back home. And this* was at a time when tho City Council was confining itself to the election of ir? responsible officers, thc creation of fat sinecures, and the repeal of obnoxious ordinances. No MACKEREL.-Tho Capo Ann Adver? tiser fcrings bad nows. It says : ''There have been but two arrivals from tho bay tho present week, tho vessels btintfing moderate fares. They report mackerel very scarce-none having been cao?t tor the past three Weeks. There are Some Vessels that have been in the bayjdl tho season that have less thou ono hundred barrels. A portion of tho fleet have done well, but tho aggregate catch will be far loss, than was anticipated, un? less Wie Fall'catch improves. Thc mar? ket tor both bay and shore mackerel is quite firm,' and the small stock in first hands caus?s pri?es to rule high. Shorn wtessiTing for $23.50 and $24, nnd bay at42jLC0 and $22." ?&T BOHN TO BE HANGED.-At Sheri dan?"the present terminus of the Kansas PaclfiC'Railway, a few nights ago, n mulo thief Was taken ont to the railroad bridge, near town; to bo hanged. Tho rope had boen placed arorud his neck before start? ing from tho town, and ho was lcd along like an cr. to the slaughter; but, arriving at tho bridge, and while thc hangmen were fastening tho other cad of tho rope to tho trestle-work of tho bridge, the alleged thief Blipped the noose from his neck, slipped out of the crowd and off the bridge, and m?de his escape. Forty or fifty shots were fired at him, but he was unhurt. Qne Capt. Herbert won a remarkable laW'snit in Adair County, Iowa, thc other day-a suit conducted on both sides of the North River. Tho plointill" and his lawyer lived on oue side of tho river, and the defendant, his lawyer aud the magis? trate on the other. The parties met. on either bauk of the swollen stream. The "court" took his seat on a damp log, and for ono hour and n half the attorneys slung law aud logic across a hundred feet of September freshet, at the expirutiou of which period, the court mounted a stump and hurled his decision across the stream. A COTTON RING. - "A rumor has gained ground," says tho Baltimore Gazette, "that undismayed by the rcceut gold panic, in which so many 'rings' weut to 'tamal smash,' a 'cotton riug' is being formed in New York, to bear tho staple down to eighteen or twenty cents, when large purchases will bo made, with the anticipation of realizing thirty cents per pound iu June next. There may no truth in the report, though it is circum? stantially stated; but to be forewarned is forearmed, and the initiatory movements of tho proposed cotton liug may be rea? dily detected." SAINTE BEUVE.-This eminent French? man, who died a few days since, was tho moat reuowued critic iu France, and one of tho most learned men in Europe. He was for many years a writor iu tho Pari? sian journals, and an author of great, re? pute. His most famous work is entitled Causeries du Lundi, or "Monday Conver? sations"-a series of sketches, biogruphi oal and critical. He was also a member _ of the French Academy and a Senator of thc Empire. The new postago stamps will contain the head of President Grant-emblema? tic of the nomadic tendency of stamps surrounded with a beautiful border of weaved lines printed in colors, so as to defy tho art of any rascally photographer who may desire to secure the counte? nance of tho President without pi.yiug for it. The President, in his coming mes? sage, it is understood, will recommend that the internal revenue tariff remain undisturbed for one year, after which the administration will have tho public debt well in hand, so that a material re? duction of taxation con be allowed with? out detriment. A Georgia paper, speaking of the ex? penses of the carpet-bag Legislature, says that "if wo dance, wo suppose wo must pay the fiddler." Another paper suggests that if they wouldn't import tho fiddlers so far, they wouldn't be so costly. The editor of a Lock Haven (Pa.) pa? per advertises for a boy. Ho wants to be careful. An editor ont Wost tried that, aud the first thing he kuow his wifo pre? sented him with twins, all boys. You can't bo too careful. The new Governor of Virginia is said to be less complaisant than his predeces? sor, and persistently refuses to grant pardons. Gen. danby refused to allow per diem to the members of the Legislature dur? ing tho recent recess, on tho ground of tho depleted condition of the treasury. Special KToticos.
