CURKEXT NEWS. WASHINGTON. Tbe President has finally nominated Mr. John Welsh, of Philadelphia, as Minister to England. Mr.

Welsh it a wealthy supar Importer, and waa largely identified with the Centennial Exposition. He in said to be a straight-out Republican, but baa never figured much In politic. There ia likely to be some opposition to hid confirmation in the Senate by tbe more extreme party men, but on the whole tbe appointment raid to be generally acceptable. Wm. M.

Burnett ha been appointed Rejr-Inter of the Land-office at Xew Orleans, and fieorpe M. Norton, of Louisiana, Supervising Inspector of Steamboat of the Tenth District. The President sent to the Senate on the a long list of nominations, among them tie following: Wm. Henry Smith, Collector of Customs, Chicago; Theodore Roosevelt, Collector of Customs, Edwin A. Merritt, Surveyor, and L.

Bradford Prince, Naal Officer, for the Port of New York; Robert T. Smith, Collector of Customs, Mobile; Edwin W. Stoughton, New York, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Russia; John Ofrlesby, Louisiana, Assist-ant Appraiser of Merchandise, and James Lewis, Naval Officer, at New Orleans; Kd-jrar M.

The following is a special committee of the Senate to consider the subject of ascertaining: and declaring the vote for President and Vice-President of the United Stales: Senators Edmunds, Conkling, IIowe.MeMil-lan, Teller, Davis of Illinois, Bayard, Thur-man, and Morgan of Alabama. Senator Burnside has introduced a bill removing all restrictions in regard to the enlistment of colored men in the United States service in fact, ordering the word "colored" to be stricken out of the army laws and regulations wherever it occurs. Hon. Clarkson N. Potter of New York has declined the Chairmanship of the House Committee on Pacific Railroads, solely, ache slates in a letter to the Speaker, because of his interest in railroads, in Pennsylvania, of which Colonel Thomas A.

Scott is President. This, he thought, would be regarded as unfitting hira for scrvh on that committee; otherwise, he would willingly have accepted the position. Under the rules of the House, Throckmorton of Texas will succeed Potter to the Chairmanship. This makes tbe committee unquestionably in favor of subsidy for the Texas Paciic Hon. D.

W. Voorhees.it is reported on pood authority, will be appointed by Governor Williams as successor to the late Senator Morton.

The annual report of the Commissioner of Tensions shows the number of pensioners on the rolls tojbe 232,104, 'a reduction of S5 pensioners as compared with last year.

Tbe amount required for the payment of pensions next year shows a decrease of $500,000. The reports from the 18 pension agencies show that the consolidation of districts effected a few months ago has not in the least embarrassed the operations of the service. The consolidation of the rolls recently agreed upon will be used in the December payments. The Postmaster-General has determined to issued an order requiring each and every employee of the Railway Mail service (including local agents and messengers, as well as route agents and postal clerks) to provide himself during the next 60 days with a uniform, to be worn whenever on duty.

Washington specials arc to the effect that number of the nominations sent bv the President to the Senate will cither be unfa vorably reported by Mr. Conkling's commit tee, or else not be reported back at all be fore the regular session. Among those whose confirmations will be opposed are Bell, the nominee for Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and Milliard of Georgia, named as Minister to Brazil.

Dispatches of the 1st say that Mokhtar Pasha's position is considered critical, but not desperate. It is officially announced that 220,000 Turkish reserves are to be immediately called out for active service.

Official returns of the killed, wounded and missing on the Russian side from the commencement of hostilities to October 27, are placed at 61,042. Dispatches of the 4th from the Beat of war in Armenia were extremely contradictory, tbe Russians claiming to have gained important positions from the enemy, who were said to be in full retreat whi'e the Turks claimed to have repulsed the Russian advance with great loss to the invaders. The reported capture of Orchanie by the Russians is officially contradicted, and Chevket Pasha is said to occupy a commanding position at the junction of the roads leading to Orchanie, Lovatz and Plevna. The Russians, advancing from Olti to turn Erzeroum, were compelled to retire in consequence of a snow storm. A Constantinople dispatch of the 5th states that the Russian-General Gotirko has died of his wounds.

It has often been at'empted to measure the speed of the electric current. The return of the current, in an experiment, to the very place whence it started, having been to Persia and back, a distance of 7,400 miles, was instantaneous.

Electricians have endeavored to give a measure to the speed of the electric current, and the best thing that they have been able to do is to say that, at least, it travels at the rate of 200,000 miles a second. Herr Boefinger, an ingenious gentleman of Heilbronn, has invented what he calls a Patentirtepetroleumkochap-parat in plain English, a patent petroleum cooking apparatus, which possesses the peculiar quality of lighting itself at any specified hour.

Brooklyn Union. There's nothing to exceed the diabolical satisfaction a man will lake in announcing to his wife, after he has got his shirt on, that there is a button missing; and the keen delight he feels in seeing her dance around the room after a needle and thread, while she listens to a lecture on infernal carelessness, approaches ecstacy. But look out when she gets that button on, bites the thread off with a snap and commences "There now John Henry's girl has a father, and the father has a dog. John Henry never could understand why the old man called that dog Glue," but Sunday night the dog mistook John for another fellow, and fastened to him, and they waltzed all around the front yard. After the trouble was quieted, John started home for some new clothes, and as he wandered along he murmured "Ah, yes, I see.

Christopher, a barber at Balls-ton Spa, is the possessor of a remarkable canary bird, the voice of which has been developed in a peculiarly painstaking manner, so that now this "educated" songster can successfully render the well-known air, A Life on the Ocean Wave." The bird will commence to warble like any other of these pets, but after uttering a few notes will immediately strike into the tune, and when its voice has attained full height the above tune will be sung entire, and in a manner that sounds singularly melodi- ous and attractive, literally setting to note its natural vocal powers.

This was only achieved after the most diligent and patient attention. As soon as the bird was old enough to pick up a living it was put in a room apart from all other3, and a music box also placed in the apartment that was kept perpetually going, repeating the one tune over and over again, so that this singular pupil had no other person to learn from but that. After four month? of such apprenticeship, the owner was re warded by hearing his little favorite render A Life on the Ocean Wave" as naturally and perfect as if that was the song of its ancestors. Minneapolis Tn.bune. Where Xoah Landed The Majmiflcent Tlew from the Top of Ararat.

The London Spectator, speaking of the recent successful ascension of Mount Ararat by Mr. Bryce, says Mr. Bryce has given to the world a wonderful word-picture of that amazing and awful spectacle, of that landscape which is now what it was before man crept forth on the earth, the mountains which stand about the valleys as they stood when the volcanic fires that piled them up were long ago extinguished;" but he could not toll us what were his thoughts, his feelings there, what the awe and yearning that came over him in that tremendous solitude, where Nature sita enthroned, serenely calm, and speaks to her children only in the storm and earthquake that level their dwellings in the dust." His vision ranged over the expanse, within whose bounds are the chain of the Caucasus, dimly made out, but Kazbeck, Elbruz, and the mountains of Daghestan visible.with the line of the Caspian Sea upon the horizon to the north, the huge extinct volcano of Ala Goz, whose three peaks inclose a snow-patched crater, the dim plain of Erivan, with the silver river winding through it; westward, the Taurus ranges; and northwest the upper valley of the Araxes, to be traced as far as Ani, the ancient capital of the Armenian kingdom, the great Russian fortress of Alexandropol, and the hill where Kars stands peaceful enough when the brave climber looked out upon this wonderful spectacle. While it was growing upon him, not indeed in magnificence, but in comprehensibility, "while 4he eye was still unsatisfied with gazing," the mist-curtain dropped, enfolded hiiu, and shut him up alone with the awful mountain top. The awe that fell upon me," he says, with, the sense of utter loneliness, made the time pass unnoticed, and I might have lingered long in a sort of dream, had not the piercing cold that thrilled through every limb recalled me to a sense of the risks delay might involve." Only four hours of daylight remained, the thick mist was an added danger, the ice-ax marks were his only guide, for the compass is useless on a volcanic mountain like Ararat, with iron in the rocks.

The descent was made in safety, but by the time Mr. Bryce came in sight of the spot, yet far oil, where his friend had halted, the sun had got beyond the southwestern ridge of the mountain, and his gigantic figure had fallen across the great Araxes plain below; while the red mountains of Media, far in the southeast, still glowed redder than ever, then turned swiftly to a splendid purple in the dying light." At 6 o'clock he reached the bivouac and rejoined his friend, who must have looked with strange feelings into the eyes which had looked upon such wondrous sights since sunrise. Three days later Mr. Bryce was at the Armenian monastery of Efehniiadzin, near the northern foot of Ararat, and was presented to the archimandrite who rules the house. This Englishman," said the Armenian gentleman who was acting as interpretor, says he has ascended to the top of Massis" (Ararat).

The venerable man smiled sweetly, and replied with gentle decisiveness, "It can not be. No one has ever been there. It is impossible." Shakespeare as a Man of Business. The reverential nature of the Englishman has carefully preserved what they thought the great excellence of their poet that he made a fortune. It was a great thing that he, the son of the wool-comber, the jioacher, the good-for-nothing, the vagabond (for so, we fear, the phrase went in Shakespeare's youth), should return upon the scene a substantial man, a person of capital, a freeholder, a gentleman to be respected, and over whom even a burgess could not affect the least superiority.

The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you can't do. Why did Disraeli take" the duties of Chancellor of he Exchequer with so much relish? Because people said he was a novelist, an ad captindum man who coul4 not add up. No doubt it pleased his inmost soul to do the work of the red-tape people better than those who could do nothing else. And so with Shakespeare; it pleased him to be respected by those whom he had respected with boyish reverence but who had rejected the imaginative man on their own ground and in their own subject, by the only title which they would regard, in a word, as a moneyed man. We seem to see him eyeing the burgesses with good-humored fellowship and genial though suppressed and half-conscious contempt, drawing out their old stories, acquiescing in their foolish notions, with every thing in his head and easy sayings on his tongue, a full mind and a deep, dark eye that played upon easy scenes now in fanciful solitude, now in cheerful society; now occupied with deep thoughts, and now equally so with trivial recreations, forgetting the dramatist in the man of substance, and the poet in the happy companion beloved and even respected, with a hope for every one and a smile for all.

Walter Bayvhrt. A Bogus "Lord" at Home. Several cases of sham lords and other bogus scions of the aristocracy have recently been brought to light, notably iu the instance of one who has been personating Lord Ogilvy so persistently that the.Earl of Airlie has been obliged to warn the public against him, his son really beiDg at present in India with his regiment. There is another of these worthies, and a very successful one, still on his travels. As Hugh Courtney he has particularly distinguished himself, and for the past aw years has been equally well known in Europe, India, Austria, and America as Lord Courtney," "The Hon.

He staid for five weeks in Buffalo, N. on the somewhat limited capital (which he was never able to increase Dy any leiomous borrowings) of $150 (6 shillings). Tbe landlord of the hotel he patronized suffered to the extent of nearly 100, and all the respectable citizens of Buffalo, who, with proverbial hospitality, had entertained the illustrious stranger, were mortified by seeing him pass the remainder of his visit in jail. Having conferred an inestimable benefit on the United States by leaving their kindly shores, he was, not long ago, adding insult to injury by staying at one of the laro-est hotels in London as "Lieut.

A Scared Conductor.

Sweet are the uses of retributive jus tice. In passing through a train on the New York Central Railroad to collect tickets, the conductor encountered, east of Utica, a colored man who had neither ticket nor medium of exchange, and, after a desultoiy discussion, stopped the cars and kicked him off the platform. A few weeks afterward, the conductor took a chair in a barber-shop in Albany, under the ministration of a colored man. The barber covered his customer's face with lather, whipped out a glittering r.izor, and, while he was improving its edge by means of a strop that dangled from the wall, remarked to the gentleman in the chair: Say, boss, you doesn't know me, does vou Does you remember de fellah you lambed from your tram up at Tribes Hill? Datwas a bad thing for you to do, sah, an' I remembers it well." Right here the conductor bounded from his chair and danced around the room with the lather dripping from his chin and his hair standing on end. He was finally induced to resume his seat, on the barber's pledging himself to do no mischief, but he did not enjoy the shave, and breathed more freely when he was outside of the shop.

A Warning to Base-Ball Catchers. On Monday, Judge Mattice, of Greene County, signed the necessary papers for the admission of Samuel Lindsey, of Greene County, to the Poughkeepsie Hospital for Insane. Mr. Lindsey's insanity is the result of an injury received in a game of base-ball at Oak Hill early in September. Layman, of the Lone Stars of Catskill, pitched for the Cairo Club on that occasion, and Lindsey was the catcher.

The striker struck at the ball, tipping it just enough to throw it out of the straight course, and the hard ball struck Lindsey on the forehead. He was insensible for several days, but after a fortnight's illness attempted to return to work. Last week, however, symptoms of insanity were observed, and he began to have violent spells, manifesting a disposition to injure or kill somebody, so that it became necessary to keep him manacled and strapped. The physicians think the concussion and shock have caused an effusion of blood on the brain. Time and rest may possibly bring about a recovery, but the chances are not favorable.

Lindsey was received at the hospital on Thursday last. Romlout (N. Free-mm.
