Parts, Jnly 28.?At the session of
the Assembly, the benches of the
Bight were well filled, tbe absent mem?
bers having nearly all returned. The
Committee on Parliamentary Initiative
made its report ou a resolution for a
dissolution, recommending the Assem?
bly to proceed to constitute a govern?
ment or dissolve. After a soene of in?
tense excitement, the debate was ad?
journed until Wednesday. It is anti?
cipated that the consideration of the
budget will ocaapy tbe Assembly until
August 8, about whioh time the House
will adjourn until November 15. The
interval will be shorter than was ex
peoted, because the Conservatives fear
a long recess will incline the Left Cen?
tre to support a dissolution. Tbe De?
puties in favor . * a dissolution are
confident of success after the recess,
and believe their opponents will havo
a bare majority on Wediesduy, wheu
the resolution will come to a vote.

) Pitts bur a, July 27.?For more than
/a mile out on Spring Garden avenue,
Alleghany Oity, marks of destruction
) are everywhere seen. Houses are
- thrown together in heaps. Some
' twenty-five or thirty slaughter houses
on the avenue are washed away. Many
buildings not totally destroyed are
seriously damaged. The water, rising
to the height of fifteen feet, flooded
first floors of houses, and in many
places second stories. Several houses
were swept into the middle of the
street; others wero carried off hun?
dreds of yards and shattered to pieces.
Houses containing two or three fami?
lies, at the rear of Centre street, were
destroyed, and it is supposed all the

? their course. Tho track of devastation
Pis marked by wrooks of dwellings aud

sV Brooklyn, July 27.?An Argus re?
porter has had an interviow with Mrs.
Elizabeth Oady Stanton, who said that
/ whilo Mrs. Bollard was still connected
with tho Revolution, Saean B. An thou v,
Mr. and Mrs. Tilton, Mrs. Bullard and
myself wero in Brooklyn togother. It
. was in the afternoon, and after calling
} at the office of the Revolution, Mr. Til
.. ton and mysolf aooompanied Mrs. Bal
. lard to her residence and remained to
^dinner. Through somo misunder
Handing, Miss Anthony wont with Mrs.
?ton, and dined with her, instead of
jH^bx There was some feeling on the
part of Mrs. Til Lou iu regard to this,
although i'. was quite unintentional on
my part. Well, at the table, no one
was present but Mr*. Bullard, Mr. Til
ton and myself. Theodore told the
whole story of his wife's faithtossness,
as I before observed. He did not go
into the details, bat the sum and sab
stance- of the whole matter he related
in the hearing of Mrs. Bollard and
myself. We were reformers. He gave
as the story as a phase of sooial life.
The next evening, hearing that Miss
Anthony was a little piqued at me for
leaving her on the day before, I re?
turned to my home here in Touafly.
To my surprise, I fonnd Susan waiting
my arrival. That evening, when we
were alone, I said to her, "Theodore
related a very strange story to Mrs.
Bollard and me last evening." Then
I recounted to her all that he had told
as. Miss Anthony listened attentively
to the end. Then she said, "I have
heard the same story from Mrs. Til
ton." We compared notes, and fonnd
that by both man and wife the same
story had indeed been told. When
Mr. Tilton returned, home <that even?
ing, so mo angry words, growing out of
the separation in the afternoon, passed
between-:bim and his wife, and both
became intensely exoiiedi In the heat
of the passion, and in the presence of
Miss Anthony, each confessed to the
other of having broken the marriage
vow. In the midst Of these startling
disclosures, Miss Anthony withdrew
to her room. Shortly after, she heard
Mrs. Tilton oome dashing up the
stairs, and Mr. Tilton following close
after. She flung open her bed room
door, and Elizabeth rushed iu. The
door was thon olosed and bolted.
Theodore pounded on the outside and
demanded admittance, but Miss An?
thony refused to turn the key. So in?
tense was his passion at that moment,
that she feared he might kill his wife
if he gained access to the room. Sove-1
ral times he returned to the door und
angrily demanded that it bo opened.
No woman shall stand between me aud
my wife, he said. But Susan, wbo is
as courageous as she is noble, answered
him with the words: "If you outer
this room, it will be over my dead
body;" aud so the infuriated man
ceased his demands and withdrew.
Mrs. Tilton remained with Susau
through the uight. In the excitement
of the hour, aud amid sobs and tears,
she told all to Miss Anthony?the
whole story of her faithlessness; of Mr.
Beeoher's course; of her deception and
of her anguish, fell upon the eurs of
Susau B. Authouy, and were spoken
by the lips of Mrs. Tilton. The next
morning, Mr. Tilton told Susan never
to outer his house again; she told him
she should outer whenever she chose,
but I believe she did not go there
again.

ers' hardware store, 219 Clark street.
Standers has been arrested. The fire
had progressed considerably when dis?
covered.
Pittsburq, July 28.?The details of
the flood show that the disaster is
greater than was supposed; fuily 200
lives were lost. The damaged district
is twenty-five miles in diameter. The
prevailing theory is that a water-spout
of some kind did the misohief.
Cincinnati, July 28.?At Sparta,
on the Louisville Short Line Railroad,
a South bound freight train went
through a bridge damaged by water;
no one hurt. A mile und-a-half South
of Sparta, the engine, buggage car and
one of the passenger cars of a traiu
went through a bridge; one man fa?
tally and three seriously injured. Five
miles further South, five buggago cars
were ditched. Between Cincinnati

New YoitK, July 28.?Tho Bcechor
investigation Committee resumed its
session yesterday evening, as usual,
with closed doors. Beyond tho fact
that two or three wituesses were exa
miued, uotuiug is known of tho pro?
ceedings.
The Commercial cays tho Rothschilds
and their associates huve been awarded
the five per coat, loan, and now have
charge of $1(58,000,000 of tho $170,
000,000 recently placed iu open com?
petition. This means an early fall of
gold to 1.05.
The Sun says the Boechor committco
decided, last evening, to call Moulton
as tho next witness?asking him in
their invitation to produce all tho
documents in his possession that may
relate in any way to tho case. Tilton
says Moulton won't testify boforc tho
committee as now constituted. Mr.
Sherman, last evening, said no testi?
mony of Tilton's, bearing on tho ol
legod coufessions of Mr. Boechor to
him of adultery, was ever elicited iu
the reported cross-examination, or
omitted in the publication of ? it.
Beanhar'a stenographer says no saoh
testimony as Tiltou speaks of in his
card was regularly presented before
tho committee. Beeoher returned
from Peekskill, yesterday, uud chatted
pleasantly with some of his church
members on tbe door-steps in the
evening. If Moulton does not answer
the call to testify, which he will receive
to-day, Beeoher's testimony will be
taken without further dolay.
Negotiations for the balance of tbe
five per oent. funded loan were con?
cluded by tbe Secretary of tho Trea?
sury to-day, with Messrs. August Bel
mont tc Co., on behalf of Messrs. N.
M. Rothschilds Sc Sons, of London,
and their associates and J. & W. Selig
man & Co., on behalf of themselves
and their associates. These parties
made an absolute subscription for
$45,000,000, coupled with the option
of taking the remainder of the loan at
any time within sis months. The loan
is taken at par, to be paid for in coiu
or 5 20 bonds, the parties to reoeive
one quarter of one par acut, commis?
sion and to defray all expanses of the
transaction, inolnding the delivery of
the bonds. From the well-known re?
putation of these bankers, no doubt
exists at the Treasury Department as
to their ability to plaoe tbe entire loan.

Washington, July 28.?The board
of engiueers recently appointed by the
President, under an Act of Cougrcss,
passed at its last session, to deviso u
plun fur reclaiming tbe overflowed
lauds of the Mississippi River, met at
Newport, R. I., on the 21st instant;
present?General G. K. Warren, Gene?
ral II. L. Abbot und Captain W. H.
Beuguu;d, U. S. Eagiueers; ex-Go?
vernor P. O. Hebert, of Louisiana, and
Colonel J. E. Sickles, of Arkansas.
The board was in session several days,
deliberating on the various proposed
plans of reclamation. It distributed
the duties of its members as follows:
To ex-Governor Hebert was assigned
tho district of Louisiana; to Captain
Bengnard, the district of Mississippi,
and to Colonel J. E. Sickles, the dis?
trict of Arkansas and Missouri; to
General H. L. Abbott was assigned tbe
duty of investigating the course and
effect of the flood of 1874, as compared
with previous floods, and to General
G. K. Warren was assigned the duty of
collecting all information now in tbe
? departments bearing on tbe question.
The board adjourned, subject to the
call of the President, which will be
made so soon as the reports oome in
from tbe various States. It will be
prepured to make its recommendations
ut an early day in the session of Con?
gress. Generals Warren, Abbott and
Kotiert are, probably, more familiar
with the levee question in all its phases
than any other three gentlemen in the
oountry, except, probably, the distin?
guished Chief of Engineers, General
Humphreys.
A circular just issued by tbe Secre?
tary of tho Treasury makes important

The circular contains instructions as
to the duties of agents, defining them
with great exactness.

Hand shakino.?How did people get
in the habit of shaking hauds? The
answer is not far to seek. In early
aud barbarous times, when every sa?
vage or semi-savago was his own law?
giver, judge, soldier and policeman,
and had to watch over his own safety,
in default of all other protection, two
friends and acquaintances, or two
strangers desiring to be friends and
acquaintances, when they chanced to
meet, offered each to the other the
right hand; the hand alike of defence
and offence; the hand that wields the
sword, the dugger, the club, the toma?
hawk, or other weapon of war. Each
did this to show that tho hand was
empty, aud that neither war nor trea
cheiy was iuteuded. A man cannot
well stab another while ho is iu tho not
of shaking hands with him, nule.-s ho
is n double-dyed traitor aud villain,
und strives to uim it cowardly blow
with tho left, while giving the right
hand, and pretending to boon good
terms with his victim. The custom of
I hiind-shuking prevails inoro or less
I among all civilized nations, nr.d is the
tucit avowal of friendship und good
will, just us a kiss is of a warmer pas?
sion. Ladies?, as every one must have
j remarked, seldom or never shake hands
with tho cordiality o* gentlemen, mi
Ich.s it bo with each other. Tho reason
is obvious. They cannot be expected
to show to persons of the oilier sex a
warmth of greeting which might ue
I misinterpreted, mil ess such person:,
are very closely related to Lhem by fa
mily or affection, i:i which ca^e bund
[shaking is not needed, und tbo lips do
j more agreeable duty.

j The English custom long estab?
lished, of announcing the birth of
children by sending cards to tho
friends and acquaintances of the pa?
rents, has beeu adopted hero to n mo?
derate extent, and eecms likely to bo
lurgely followed. Tho form is after
thisfushiou: "Potor Charles, (or Mary
Jane,) born to John aud Sarah Eliza
Jones, Juno 'J5, 1871, No.-, Madi?
son avenue, New York." This is an
odd innovation ou our social habits,
but as it saves a groat deal of inquiry,
which, for some occult reason, persons
uro constantly making in regard to
such domestic events, the card an?
nouncements may not be without their
ad van luge.
A cool request ? Please pass the ice.
Then and Now?Articles 4 Disco?
vered in Pompeii.?One of the most
interesting features of the excavations
in this buried city is tbe discovery of
many bomely domestic articles of
which we bavo counterparts. It is
astonishing how many things in com?
mon ub6 now were in nse then. Here
you will see almost every kitohen
utensil, portable oooking stoves, jelly
cake and butter moulds in the imita?
tion of birds and flowers, pots, kettles,
orocks, dishes, onps and Banners,
spoons, knives and forks, dippers,
skimmers, sauce pans, frying-pans,
!amp3, lamp stands, flesh-hooks, bra?
ziers for charcoal?in a word, pretty
mach every kitohen, dining-room or
chamber article found in modern nse
entered into the eoonomy of the daily
life of Roman antiquity. All the arti?
cles of a lady's toilet, iuclndiog jewelry
of all kinds, gold and silver ornaments,
corals and precious Btonee, were found
in houses in Pompeii. Taken* from
the retail shops were steelyards, ba?
lances, weights and measures. From
a doctor's office was recovered a fall set
of surgical instruments, including
"pnlikius" for extracting teeth and
trepanafor drilling holes in tbe skull.
There is any number of shoe-maker,
tailor, oarpenter and blacksmith tools,
and, indeed, implements of almost
every present mechanioal operation.
Taken altogether, tbe collection of
articles taken from the dead city is a
surprising revelation to every one,
showing that the ancients invented
and perfected 10,000 implements and
articles of common life whioh we still
use, with little improvement thereon,
and without giving them credit there?
for.
The New York Assay Office furnishes
.some very interesting statistics. 830,
000,000 gold (bullion) were operated
upon in the last eighteen months and
?7,500,000 Kilver. Tbe shipments of
silver from New York to Philadelphia
amount to several tons u month. Last
year there passed through the labora?
tory forty tous of gold, worth about
$500,000 each. Most silver carries
gold, and the presence of gold is espe?
cially noticed in the silver ores of
Utah and Nevada. The Assay Office
does not receive crude ores of any
kind, only bullion, which signifies
either coin or burs. Many of the
jewelers send samples of their goods to
the Assay Offioe, in order to test their
value. A few days ago a magnificent
goldeu chalioo from a Mexicau convent
was thrown into the crucible, and old
family plate frequently meets tbe same
fate. During the last twenty years,
gold bars to the umouut of over 3219,
000,000 and silver bars to tho amouut
of $15,000.000 were manufactured in
the New York Assay Office.
.. ,At n recent meeting of the Paris
.Scientific Academy, M. H. Sainte
Claire Deville, a distinguished che?
mist, offered to tho gentlemen present
a tight vial containing about fifteen
pounds of osmium, the most deadly
poison known. In a short explana?
tion M. Deville said thut twenty
pounds of tho chemical would be suf?
ficient to poison tho entire population
of the world. 1,000th part of a grain
of osmic acid, set free in a volume of
air of 100 cubio yards, would possess
such a deadly influence, that all the
persons respiring this air oould be
nearly killed. Osmic acid is so much
the more dangerous that no counter
poison is known against it.
A hater of tobacco asked an old ne?
gro woman, the fumes of whose pipe
were auuoying to him, if she thought
she was a Christian. "Yes, bradder, I
spectlis." "Do yoa believe in the
Bible?" "Yes, brudder." "Do you
know that there is a passage in the
Scriptures that declares that nothing
unclean shall inherit the kingdom of
heaven?" "Yes, I've heard of it."
"Well, Chloe, you smoke and yoa can?
not enter the kingdom of heaven, be?
