BRIEF NEWS PARAGRAPHS, 
This Portland (Me.) Argu n says that United 
Staten Marshall Marble of that State has been 
carrying on an extensive blackmailing business. 
His favorite method of procedure is to go to 
some man who has sold or given a email quanti¬ 
ty of liquor to a alck person find threaten him 
with legal proceedings unless lie paid down u 
certain amount, of money. Tint usual price won 
$100. The Argus gives two cases which have 
occurred recently. One of the vie Hips was a 
physician and the other a poor, hard-working 
man. Neit her were liquor-sellers, and had only 
given a small quant ity at t he urgent requests of 
sick persons- The former paid $100 anil the 
latter $03. Tho Argna thinks Marshall Marble 
lum made not less than $6,000 in this way during 
the past. '’»»r. 
Thk Secretary of War ha.- appointed the fol¬ 
lowing adeut.itlc gentleman to accompany the 
survey on tho North Pacific Railroad under the 
command of Col. Stanley, which Is to start ont 
anew from Fort. Rico on Juno 15:—Prof. Llody, 
Paleontologist of the Pennsylvania University; 
Prof. Loo Lesquercaux,Geologist, of Columbus, 
Ohio; Prof. Lionel It. .Vetler, Mineralogist, New 
York; Prof. James A. Allen, Zoologist, Cam¬ 
bridge, Mass.; Win. R. By well. Photographer,

bridge, Mass.; Prof. Thomas C. Porter, Botanist; 
Prof. Henry C. Chapman, Volunteer Assistant 
Paleontologist; and C. W. Bennett, General 
Assistant to the members of the Scientific 
Corps. 
No wonder the Northwest is eager for cheap 
transportation, especially If It is so cheap as one 
of the speakers at the Congressional Conven¬ 
tion, which lias just boon feasted by St, Louis, 
would have us believe. The Hon. H. O. Slan- 
nard, Congressman-elect from that city electri¬ 
fied i lie Convention with this astonishing state¬ 
ment ,"River transit is 100 per cent, cheaper 
than canal, and nearly 51)3 per cent, cheaper 
than railroad." Transportation which carries 
freight for nothing, and pays tho shipper400 per 
cent. Is liberal enough for any one. 
Por.NUlMi as u persuasive has had a fair trial 
in St, Joseph, Mo. Lena than two months ago, 
Harrington, lawyer and widower, married M •*. 
Sal tie Van Horn, widow, whose deceased hus¬ 
band's life was Insured for $5,0Jb. Recently 
Harrington bargained to sell hi* wife’s house 
and lot for $2,830, and asked her to .sign the 
deed, which she declined to do. Though she 
was Stick at the time, he had recourse to muscu¬ 
lar blandishments, and did so beat and bang 
her that at last she executed the deed. 
In response to the Inquiry of a friend, Senator 
Sumner recently wrote t hat, the real purpose, of 
his b e 1 H i - r resolution was not to enter the 
Gov riciit Departments and tear from tho

those records fr < being placed upon future 
army registers and 1 lie battle Hags to be borne 
hereafter by the iv rular army. Tho Senator 
said ho did not doubt that the resolution would 
take care of itself.
