The latest gossip about the next Pros' idenoj is that Senator Windonu, of Min> nesota, is to be coached aa a Rcpablican candidate in the erect that Gen. Grant declines to go into the contest for the place. It is thought bj Grant’s friends that he irQl decline to run if there is a scramble for the nomination, as the in dications now are that there will be, bj other leading Republicans. It is in this view of the case that Scooter Windom’s name is mentioned. The quill-drivers hare it that a few days before Congress adjourned Senator Conkling entertained at dinner a dozen or more prominent Republican leaders. The New York Senator asked each one of his gu<uts, who would be the strongest candidate in case of Gen. Grant’s declination ; that is, who would poll tb$ full Republican rote and. at the same time, not excite the antagonist of the other aspiring can didates. The story goes that not one of his guests could name any person who could fill the bill, whereupon Senator Conkling said ; "I have a candidate ; it ik Win. Windom, of Minnesto. He eoald poll the vote of the whole party, woald not make enemies among the lead ers if nominated, and would come to the nominating convention with the solid strength of the Northwest his sup- port.” As S«nator Conkling *od Sena tor Blaine are not yet on any u'O good terms, and aa Senator Blaine has al ways had his strongest following in thd Northwest, this goasip, if true, would indicate that the New York Senator proposed to get in his work early to kill the Blaine statesman off.

The writing telegraph, which repro duces the messages sent in almost per fect fee-simile of the sender, has been fitted up between Wartarloo and Work ing, England, a distance of some 26 mites, and, according to the Echo, has been working very well. The instru ment itself is too recent an invention to have yet reached even an approach to perfection ; but the defects made evident in practical working have so far been vemedied, and it is said that a useful im provement will shortly be available. One great advantage is that the instu- ment is quite automatic nt the receiving end, and dees not require the constant attendance of a clerk. It writes the message on a roU of paper, and they can be cut off and sent to their destinations as opportunity offers. This is an im portant point, because it is well known that the time wasted in calling and in obtaining the attention of the receiver for exceeds that required for the actual sendbig of the message. , Htm ■t Boaton. Boston, July 18.—Soon after 4 o'clock this afternoon a storm of terrifik violence burst over this city, doing great damage to lifo and property. The schooner Myrtle, of Charleston, having on board six persons, four women and a man and boy, was capsized off Birt Is land, and all excepting the man were drowned. The damage thronghout the city oan hardly be ascertained at piesent, but it will probably amount to many thousands of dollars. ^ -V I# A singular story of supposed crime is current ia the peaceful village of Gut- tenburg, N. Y. A former resident of the place, at the present time under sen tenoe of death in Glasgow, Scotland, for raurdaring his wife and one of bis chil dren, is now believed to have commit ted a similar crime when in this country. His house at Guttenberg was burned to the ground, and bones were found in the ruins which were supposed to be those of the entire family , but now that it has been discovered thst he merely disappeared at the time, and has since shown such s desperate character, it is believed that this seeming conflagration only concealed a plural murder. There are circumstances which strengthen this view. « » » - The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times says that E. J.
