KBMairt wfiTJawama The Ottumwa Democrat of the 2!lh ol May says that on that morning, while James Downey was fishing almiii a mile above Port Richmond, he noticed a ter rible commotion in the water. At first he thought it was 5ome larce buffilo or catfifth sporting around near the surface, but as the cieature came nearer the shore, he discovered his mistake. A huge inoimter rcwmhling an alligator was splashing the water about at a fear ful rate. Aftr giving an exhibition of his aquatic powers, Mr. What is It drew himself upon to an old log lying close in shore, for a sunning. Mi. Downey reports it us being fully seven feet in length the lody was covered with scales, the head long, ilat and pointed, legs short and clumsy, and in every re spect leseinbling an alligator. When Mr. I), had looked at the ugly thing long enough to satisfy his curiosity, he stilted off to get his gun. The noise he "made in clambering up the bank attracted the creature's attention, and it turned around facing Downey, displaying a couple of rows ol ivory that set the man thinking that the fellow's jaws would be the projMT thing to miss, and he missed them in a hurry. From the description given it is probable that Mr. Downey saw an alligator. A Female Fiend. The woman whose nature is so nearly fiendish as it is possible to conceive of lives at Bastrop, La. Her name is Luna Mcllcn, and she Is now in prison upon the charge of murdering a small child. At her preliminary examination the tes timony indicated that she had taken a diabolical plcasuie in killing the child by inches, and after the accomplishment ol the deed to have felt no compunctions or any of the ordinary dislike of a mur derer to having the body of the victim in any place to serve as a reminder. The woman's own son, a little boy of 12, was the principal witness against her. She made this mere child dig up and moyc the body ol her victim two or three times within the space of a week. She Hist buried the murdered child in a garden, and when its disappearance had excited commeut aud caused the institu tion ol a search, she attracted the atten tion or the officers to another point, she herself accompanying them, first telling her little son to dig up the. body in their absence aiKUhldo 4t-iu tho-chisiBcyr Tho boy performed this task, and at night he was made to carry the body to a cotton pen and subsequently to a thicket, where it was finally discovered. During the course of the trial, with her own son giving such testimony of her atrocity, the woman evinced little feeling of any kind, passing through the entire oidcal with an unrulllcd demcauor. An Anecdote or President Lincoln. Hon. Lark in 1). Mason writes to the Nashua (N. II.) Telegraph an interesting account of a visit he once paid President Lincoln, m company with Gen. Natt Head and Councilor Chase, of New Hampshire. In response to the greet ing of the President, Mr. Mason said: "Mr. President, we do not wish to detain you a moment. The Adjutant General of our State and a member of the hon orable Council are present and wish sim ply to pay their respects to the Presideut and pass on." Mr. Lincoln arose from his elk-horn chair aud gave to each a baud, saying, "I am glad to see you, gentlemen. Gen. Head," said he, "I now recollect you. The stockings you gave, me when I was campaigning in New Hampshire, to bo worn when I, be came President (with a sly wink to Mr Chase and me) by the way, gentlemen, they hold about half a bushel each I have kept them safe. I have become President, it is true, but my duties have been so solemn that I have felt 'there is no room for mirth or trilling ;re.' Should we all live, gentleman, till this cruel war is over, I may appear, on some occasiou, in my new stockings, and you, gentlemen, may cousidcr yourselves invited to the entertainment." (tar Free School Sjstem. While it is very desirable that relig ious controversies should not Iks intro duced iuto American politics, it is of more importance that our public schools should be kept absolutely free from the Influence or interference of any secta rian teaching. The church that shall endeavor to inaugurate the teaching ol any religious faith in our public free schools or shall in any way so act as to introduce into our jnilitics any eccle siastical controversy, or which will do or suffer to be done any act that shall look to a union of religious and church matters with the political and civil ad ministration government, or which will seek to divert the school fund or any part of it for the support of parochial schools taught by priests or preachers, ought to be regarded as an enemy pi the State. Any political party that will encourage such a line of policy should be regarded as a treasonable or- gaaizatioB; any candidate who will not proclaim his principle, in bold opposi-tioB-sto such a policy ought to le de feated and dishonored.

Only fourteen candidates for the Re publican nomination for governor of Iowa; this leave 8 counties to be heard from. A. D. Hanks, of Mississippi, ex editor of the Cincinnati Kwpiiicr, is a catuli date for clerk of the next houe of repte sunL'itiu'S. He was (Jen. Joe Johnson's chief of staff, and should need no other credentials. The Nan Orleans Timt thinks that "were Hristow a candidate for the presi dency now, he would run far ahead of anyone whom bin party could nominate, and would trouble anyone whom the democrats could run against him, exeep Gov. Tilden." The president's new attorney general hasn't the least doubt of the sincerity ol the president's letter, or the least idea that the president ivcr intends to run again. "A careful perusal of the whole letter shows that, in speaking of a pos sible contingency, the president alluded to just such a one as occurred during Mr. Lincoln's administration.'' In the New Ham p&hirc senatorial con tested election cajes, a hearing has been had lcforc the Supreme court. The court reserved its decision pending the election of governor by the legislature. It is claimed that tlieie is now no gov ernor, and it is proposed to swear in the President of the Senate as governor pro tcin. This would, however, leave the Senate without a quorum, and perhaps still further complicate matters. Senator Dawes said to a Nan York Ihrald interviewer, the other day, that for the past two years he has regarded Grant's silence regardiiigdhe third term agitation ns injurious to the republican party. "Now that he has spoKcn," added Mr. Dawes, emphatically, "it is more to be regretted than ever that he has not spoken in an unmistakable manner in stead of the equivocal language con tained in his letter. The question in my mind is more complicated and un settled than ever, and it would have been much better for the patty if he had never writtensucballetter." English and Scotch Catholic-. It is estimated that, in 170,1, there were but 00,000 Catholics in England and Scotland. In 1821, the number had In creased to 500,000; in 1842, to 2,500,000; and in 1844, to 3,tJ80,000. The Catholics boast of COO conversions a year in Great Hritaiu and claimed to have, in 1873, l,8!i;5 priests, 1,453 churches and chapels, 8G convents of men, 208 convents of women, 21 Catholic gymnasiums, 1,240 schools, 20 dioceses, 'M Catholic Lords, 77 Haronets, (J members of the House of Commons. The growth of Catholi cism indicated by these figures is Jiscribed by some writers to the Romish tendencies of the English Church; to the fondness ot the aristocratic class for pomp and ceremony; to the sentimental ism, particularly ol the women, ot the same class; to the conservative love of order, and dread of infidelity as the in stigation of social revolutions; to the reaction against scientific rationalism; and to the singular activity, devotion and earnestness of the Catholic priesthood. These causes sufficiently account for the increase of Romanism in England, with out supposing any especial change in the religious convictions of the people. Homo, rrotn the Spelling Match. He ,left the spelling K'e at 10 o'clock, and stopped in a saloon on his way home. Here he met several friends who "set 'cm up," divers times, and he reached home about midnight with a confused brain and a very demoralized pair ol legs.

The annual report of the Registrar General, for 1874, of the "births, deaths, and causes of death" in London and tlie other large cities of the United Kingdom, has leen published. The- report gives the statistics for twenty one large cities, and of these London is the most healthy. The death rate in London was only 22 per 1,000, aad the excess of births over deaths was 44,78S. In London there arc 45 persons to each acre of space; inEd inburg, 47; ia Manchester, 82; in Liver pool, 98; ia Glasgow, 100. The respect ive rates of mortality are: London, 22; Edinburg, 23; Manchester, 90; Liver pool, 33: Glasgow, 31. Edwin anil Angelina Smith, nee Jouen, who havt- recently married and l-egiin housekeeping in neat American Gothic cottage in a northern suburb, are pos-ses-ed of a desire lojrnmbine economy with rural felicity. Possessed with visions of fresh egjjj., milk ami butler, they accordingly pitrrliaed six cocks', as many liens, aud a Jersey cow. Neither investment can ie caid to have proved an unqualified success. First, the six cocks, stimulated bjMhc smiles of beauty the smile ol a hen; is most characteris tic organized thenpclveji into ix Hide pendent political patties, and made war on each other.

When they came to take stock in the evening, they found one hole in the ground, the inside of a Dutch feather bed, five dead roosters, and the raw ma terial for several chicken fricasecs and giblet stews. The big spangled rooster died of his wounds within an hour after victory had peiched on his banner. His six widows took to horticultural pursuits, and in one day scratched up all the nas turtium, pclaigouiuuis, sunflowers and sweet peas that Angelina had planted in the front garden. They were then role gated to a hen house, and during the first night of their tenancy a a weasel entered the coop, and the six sad hens came to their six sad ends. Next morn ing Edwin found the weasel and shot him with a club. lie sulwequently ex pressed himself as being sorry for having taken the life of tlie innocent littlo creature, and put on another suit of clothes, and the neighbors declared that if there was any law1iu the land they'd see if people were going to store Lim burgcr cheese on their premises. The Jersey cow now.rcmained Angeli na's sole hope. She- was a beautiful creature, more like a fawn than a cow, and of so good a breed that the dealer who sold her warned Edwin not to drive her too rapidly, whence was about to be milked, as the agitation would tend to make her yield fresh butter in fancy stamped prints, ins tend of merely pure cream. Angelina made Daisyblossom a quilted rug of white silk, with pink ribbons, and uped to hang wreaths of flowers on her horns. The eventful day of the first milking arrived. Angelina had arrayed herself after the manner of the milkmaids on the stage, in a blue sash, white skirt, a trifle short, a cherry bodice, a gauze cap with fly-away rib bons, aud kid slippers. She had, also, a black walnut three legged milking stool. In an evil hour Edwin read in the Western Rural that music had a lienc ficial effect on cows, sootln'np their tem pers and increasing their How of milk, and that a farmer's boy had largely swelled the receipts of his father's dairy by whistling "Mollie, darling' "'Way down upon the Swanee River," "The Mulligan Guards," and other operatic selections, afmUking time. Accordingly he'dctermincd to take his flute out to the Swiss stable, and flute an extra pail of milk out of Daisyblossom every night. Heboid them, then; Angelina seated about midships of the cow, and Edwin on a camp stool at her head, with his flute brought to bear upon it Daisy blossom had watched his movements with mingled astonishment, alarm, anxi ety, and suspicion. When, simulta neously, Angelina applied herself to the cow, and Edwin to the flute, and the first doleful note issued from the latter, Dai syblossom suddenly underwent a convul sion. She hitched down in frout and kicked up liehind and shuddered all over. In another soroud there was heard a rending of claplioards, and Angelina, the black walnut milking stoolfithe pail, and the gauze cap, came bursting out of the gable of the Swiss chalet, and simulta neously a shower 1 shingles darkened the- firmament, in the midst whereof Edwin, a flute and a camp stool gyrated and coruscated. T&at evening they sent to town for an acs? of sticking plaster ami a barrel of arnica.

Lincoln's home i to !: The asylum is known as the "Cincinnati Sanitarium," situated in the subuiban village of "College Hill,"ou the .Mount Pleaxant road, wmie six miles from the Probasco fountaiu, and reached by street car to Cummiugrtville, thence by 'bus to the place of destination. The grounds and buildings were originally appropri ated for female educational purposes uu dtr the name of "Ohio Female College." Three years ago the premises were pur chased by ten medical gentleman with wide experience iiithcMBlmeut of de mented cases; ami appropriated to its prcJK-Bt iiHi. Tho grounds are nlwtt 300 fret front, and enough deep to em brace seven teen acres, and are covered with grasses, trees, shrubleries, walks, arlMirs, and lakes. The main building is at the rear end of the ground, and reached through n long avenue, shaded with tre'es, and margined with grasses. It is ol brick, four stories .high, about 100 feet front by 100 deep. The archi tecture is gothic in style and elaltoratu in execution. The premises give no in dication that thoy are for lunatic pur poses. No black, iron bars shade the windows to give it the appearance of a prison; kut in their stead, extending midway up the windows, are apparently delicate wires, securo enough to prevent escape, that serve to baulsh from the patient's mind the terriblo idea of im prisonment and restraint. The rooms of the institution are elegantly furnished, and admirably served, especially those in the department to which Mrs. Lincoln lias lieen assigned. l'ot H Fen. Nothing so well symbolizes the eco nomical habits ot Continental Europe and especially France, as thcW aueu. Tills is an iron pot kept constantly sim mering upon the fire, into wilich is put from day to day all the wholesome rem nants of food, which in this country arc thrown away. Our people, in their mag nificent way of doing things, never stop to consider how much nutriment ad heres even to the well-picked bones of porter-house steaks, mutton chops, ribs of beef, legs of mutton, etc. All these, and many things beside, arc put into the pot au feu, water, sctutoniag, and fragrant herbs are added as required, and the con stant simmering a solvent for even the toughest of Texan beef extracts every particle of marrow, even, and the bones come out as clean and white as if they had been bleached for years in the sun. Among the common people more than half the nutriment for the day comes from the;jf aueu, and if any member of the family comes home at an unusual hour hungry, it affords at all times a meal at once warm and wholesome. This explains how, as Mr. Hugh 3IcCul!och tells us, the 40,000,000 of France could live on what the 40,000,000 of America throw away, aud when we consider the wretched cookery that prevails in this country, it is not too much to affirm that they could live quite as well as do our tanners aud day laborers. VineluHd the Temperate. Though we have a population of 10,- 000 people, for the icried of six mouths no settler or citizen of Vinelaud has re ceived relief at my hand, as Overseer of the Poor. Within seventy days, there has !ecn only one case among what we call the floating population, at the ex pense of $4. During the ntire year there has been only one indictment, and that a trifling case ol battery lctweeu our colored population. So few are the tires in Vincland that we have no need of a fire department There has been only one house burned in a year, and two slight fires which weie soon put out We practically have no debt, and the taxes are only one icr ccut. on the valua tion. The police expenses of Vineland amount to $75 per year, the sum paid to me, aad oar poor expenses a mere trifle. 1 ascribe this remarkable state of things to the industry of the people and the alisence of King Alcohol.

The same evening, oar author was presented to Mr. Lincoln at the White House. He saw him twice, afterward, at a banquet aud at a ball, and then iiually at the scene of hie death Ford's Theater. He witnessed the incidents of the murder, and it was the horror created in his mind by the event, as well as his admiration of the illustri ous victim, which inspired the present volume, lor it was commenced a few days after Mr. Lincoln's death, though only now completed. "Since then," says M. Joualt in his preface, "faithful to hi memory, I have endeavored to reproduce him as I knew him, and to make the wisest, justest and honestest man of this our nineteenth century live over again." A costly Joke. Denver, Col., gives an ImUnre of a joke Iwing carried too far. It was per petrated years ago, but only lately came to light in public dress. Some time after the Atlantic cable had been estab lished, a telegraph operator at Denver sent the following dispatch: "To the Emperor Napoleon, Garden of the Tuileries, Paris, France: Gov. Gilpin will nut accede to the cession of Italy to France. Plcaac let Bohemia atone." Tlie operator supposed it would make some fun in the Omaha office aud stop there, as the station agents have a gen eral understanding in regard to each other's joke's. Ky some hook or crook the dispatch went on aud dived tinder the ocean and came up smilingly in the garden of the Tuileries in France. The manner of its reception by Napoleon has lecn lost to history. All that is known is the emperor did not pay for it, and the facetious ojierator was hunted up and obliged to pay a bill of $187.50 in gold for his little joke. The opcrator was entirely satisfied with the result ol Sedan. Stmt Up and Forgotten. In the Greenville school district some two weeks ago, one of the female teach ers inflicted what has proved to be a ter rible punishment on a little loy not yet 5 years old. It seems he was detected in spitting on his slate, and the teacher shut him up in a room, locking hira in. When the school was dismissed for din ner he was forgotten. The child's mother, a poor widow compelled to work in the mill to support a large family, missed the child, ami on inquiry found him locked up and in, a state of imbe cility. He is still under the physician's care, with some hojie of his ultimate recovery. The mother, of course, u oblige) to give up work to watch over her child, aud Iwyond an apology from the teacher, there does not seeut to be anything done by the committee or any body e!c toward aiding her ia her diffi culty.

Their feud wan the amura?ut of the whole settlement where they lire?, and when, finally, they ran an rival candi date for the Legislature, everylnnly turned out to hear them eak against each other. York lcgMn, and unfolded Scott's disgraceful career very much as Judge Porter did Mr. TiltonV, no less to the astonishment than the amusement of the audience, who hod not the privilege of knowing their fellow citizen as uiti tnately as the speaker. When he got through it waa Scott's turn. "There's naught, gentlemen," said he, "there's naught as that man her said as Isn't true. I was run outer Cairo; I did belong to the Regulators; I did desert from the array; I did leave a wife in Kansas. Hut there's one thing ho didn't charge me with, aud maybe he's forgotUn: For thret year$, gentlemen, I teae that man's jxirdner." A burst of applause, accord ing to Mr. Harte. artistically rounded and enforced this climax, and virtually elected Scott. X. r. Sun. What Lare Vmt. If It is ao longer worn by men orcr the tops of their boots, fttcrc are still wedding orders received at A lencon for $30,000 worth at a time, aul consider able, though smaller, sums are expended at Honitou, in Devonshire. For Valen ciennes, made at Ypn, Mfty dollars per metre is paid, but the laccmnkrr, work ing twelve hours a day, can only produce one third of an inch in a week. Every piece of Alencon passes through the hands of twelve workmen. The lcst Brussels thread is spun in cells under ground, because the dry air above would cause the thread to snap. UjKin the worker, as she sits io tlie dark, is di rected ono ray of light, but the thread Is so flue that her delicate fingers arc better guides than her tycs. Very many lose their sight, and the high pay the laccmakcr earns is proimttionate to the acknowledged uuhealthineM of tho oc cupation. The hand spun thread made at Brussels of flax of Brabant costs, le fore it is yet made up Into lace, $1,200 per pound, and the process of manu facture more than doubles the (value. Old lace is more variable in price, and some of it can be counterfeited by imi tation. Ol some varieties, however, the secret is lost, as of Point d'Argen tan, which continued to lc made on the banks of the Orne till the French revo lution stopped the demand fur Jtinin, and gave the easantM oUicr'"meansa(fg earning their brea 1. t'ntiaa Slavery. The AntUSlavery Society of England have again urged upon the British Gov ernment the duty of friendly laterfei ence between Spain and Cuba fo bring to an end the long and bloody strife be tween the Spaniards aad Cuban patriots and secure the abolition of the slave traffic. Lord Derby, speaking for the Government, expressed the opinion that the time had not come for intervention, aad, among other rcasoaa for this, said that aay such attempt wonldb received with considerable suspicion by the Amcricaa Govern meat and people. We believe Lord Derby h very mach uiu takea in this matter, and can Hot con ceive oa what groaads he has formed such aa opiaioa.
