The personal and political intimacy between Prince Bismarck aud Princo Gonschakoff is one of the most striking, not to Eay portentous, facts in Europeen poiitics of to- day. It is common to speak of the friendship of the two Emperors a8 the basisof the harmouy of policy between Empires, and sinco this frieudshipfalls in with the purposes of the two Chancellogs, it is, of course, 1 importaut factor; Lut the sovereigns mto minor pieces, after all.

Mac- keever represented the Lerald, Alfred Ford the Graphic, Edmund Lyons the Sun, snd W. A, Austin the World. Prof. Dopaldson is the seronaut who superintened the Graphic balloon, and has made many ascensions in cars sxd on trapeze bars. He has engineored many balloons, and has never met with an saccident. His balloon was built at the Hippodrome in one wock, of balloon canvass, especially imported by Mr. Barnum, sod under Prof. Donaldson's own supervision. It is 47 feet in diameter, and has a capacity of 54,000 cubic feet. Carrylng capac- ity cetimated ot 1,800 pounds.

WASHINGTON, Kumors of Intended Cabinct Changes —TXerritorial Governors and Their Power of Removal-A Dangerous Counterfeit. Syecial Dispateh to The Chizazo Trivune, ‘Wisuisarox, D.C., July 25.—The rumored Cabinet chauges by which Attorney-General Willisms would be sent to the Russian Court, Gen. Pristow made Attorney-Geueral, and ex- Secretary McCulloch be put at tho bead of the Tressury Department, have atiracted but littie attention and discossion here. Bristow bas signified his willivguess to mako tho change. It is well known that Williaws has boen anxious for some time for a transfer to otler duty, which would take him out of the country, while Le would be lowered in officiai rank. “There is no doubt but that the terrible ordeal through which Mrs.Willisms passed when her husband’s nomination to be Chief-Justice was pending, left Ler hcalth all shattered, and & change of this sort scems alout the only hope of saving ber life, It is doubted whether Grant would call McCulloci: to tho Treasury, princi- pally for the reason that in Aundy Johusou'’s time McCulloch was s pronounced anti-Grant man. AleCulioch is also understood to be iu- volved in his Loudon bauk business to such an extent as would make it impossible for him to leave for the Cabinot position.

He has no power to remove olicers appoiuted during pleasure by others, unless the organic Iaw, or, iu somo cuses at least, the Terri- torial law, expressly authorize hiu.

It originated with two or three families of very credulous Norwogians, who had, without doubt, been made the victims of a practical joke.

Naturallyenough this newscreated eneral consternation, and maay families aboat ake Bonton hastily pucked a few things and fled to Lynd. Meanwhile some of the cool-head.. ed frontiersmen, taking littls stock in the story, started outto mest tho foe. They found Fland. rean still unburned, sod the country gonerally £afe, with the settlers pursuing their usual avo- cations, sod congratalating therselves on the disappearance of the grasshoppers.

Thewe, Lowever, must havo existed, sinco trade trausactions were carried on actively. We may see numerous black stoned in the museum, which record the sale aud purchaso of particular lands, and the most terri- ble curses are invoked apon the heads of thoso who should injure and destroy these evidences of the ownership of property. One of them, lately found by Mr. Smith, tells us that the ground mentioned in it was bestowed by tha King upon u sort of poat-laurate un acconnt of bad written some pancgyrics ho upon the Kmgdom. Still more plentiful than thess arc private contract tablets often inclosed in an outer coating of clay, on which an sbstract of the conteuts of tho inner tablet is stamped. Many of them aro pierced with holes, through whicl strings were passed attached Lo leaves of papyri. The latter have longsinco ponished; but papyrus was used by the Accadiuns a8 & Writing material &t a remota dace, although the more durablo clay tablets wero preferred. I'he mercantilo class sesms to have consisted chielly of Semites ratler than of Accadians; and, if we want to find the fuilest deselopment of ‘business and commerco, we must como down to the eighth and soventh centuries B. C., when Niveveh was o bustling centro of trade. Tyre had been destroyed by the Assyr- iau Kingy, and the trado bad uccordingly trans- ferred itself farther o tho Esat. Carche- wish, which was favorubly situnted nesr tho Eupbrates, was the meeting-place of the mer- cnsots of ull nations, sud the “maneh of Car- chemsh ™ became the standud of weight. Houses and other property, including slaves, were bonght aud sold; sud the carefulness with which the deeds of sale or leaso were drawn up, tho details into which they went, aud tho num- ber of attesting witnesses, wero quite wortby of s modan lawyer. Moncey, too, was ient at inter- est, usually at the rate of 4 per cent, but some- tin‘es 1nore, especially whon goods like iron wero vorruwed, at 3 per count. ty.

All this spprocistion aud interchanging of preperty led, as we might wupposo, to volution; and 1o less 5 document than the privato will of Sennacherib is now iu the Britiah SMuseum. As this1f the earliest specimen of o interest.

Butit must be rememuered thar papyrus and parch- ment were scarce snd dear, althongh papyrus at auy rate was in use, while ciay was abundant; and it 18 fortunate for us that Assyrian literature was intrusted to so durable a material. Even epistolary correspondence was carried ou by means of baked clay; and tho library of Kouyon- jik posscssed a collection of royal letters in- scribed upon clay tablets, besides dispatches from the Generals in the ficld to tho Govern- ment &t home. In fact, the whole literature of the nation was coutsined in these ‘lateres coctiles,” (*Laked bricks,") as Pliuy culls them ; aud one of the iatest discoveries of Ar. Smith is = volume of fables which belouged to a certain Assyrian city. Fragments only of two or threo of theso _ bhave 88 yet been met with; one of them is & dislogue between tho ox end the horse, anotber betweeu the eaglo snd the sun. Such 8 discovery is in- teresting, because it shows that Egvpt or Africa woa 10t the only birthplaco of tho beast-fable, a3 been commonly imagined; but that bunsan ingenuity Las bit upon the sawme means of convoyiug = lesson in _various parts of the world. Amoug the most valuable portions of this literature in cluy are the chronological tab- lets. These have zireudy ensbled us to restore the chronology of Westorn Asia from the ninth to the seventli centuries, B. C., oud to correct the corresponding dates in the Old Testament, litherto the dewpair of Listorians; while Mr. Smith bas lately found a few remuants of what is probably a eyuopsis of Babylonian bistory from the mythical poriod downwards in whick the length of the reigns is given, and the dura- tion of the dynastics summed up.—Fraser's Magazire.

A reporter for an indecent morning newapaper in Chicago has been trapsing about Wisconsn, between Madison and Laraboo, for two or three day, to get at the details of an alleged scan- dal ‘sbont 3 woll-kown Milwaukee lawyer and & married woman who bLappened to bo at the same hotel at Devil's Lake, a sum- mor-resort near Baraboo. It is probable thatthe reporter, to gratify tho taste of his embloyer, will string out some lecherous story to which too mauy people are alwuys ready to contribute, It sy be as well, therefore, to state that the scan- dut huy occasioned no_excitement whatever, ei- ther in Milwaukee or Baraboo, and is not cred- ited. The publication of 1t would, consequently, be 8 serious injustice to all parties councerned, and, under the present circamstances, would not be entertamed by any other journal in this coun- iry than the indecent Chicago paper which bas been at such paius Lo nose it out. : CRIMINAL, There have been as many marders in this aity during tho past two weeks as during the preced- ing two yeuns; that is to eay, two. What this remarkable outbreak of ferocity can have been occasioned by iy a marvel to our poople, who do not like such things, and have not yet grown ac- customed to them under the benignani sway of Chief of Polico Beck, who has been running ihe criwinal clusses of JMilwaukeo for tho best part of a quarter of & coutury,—a man appare:tly in the prime of life, a8 hard &s iron and tough as stoel yet. Full particulars of these two re- cent murders have been duly telegraphed to Tue TmIBUSE. Iu conueciion with them, alimoor two recalling the tragedios that have occurred the pust few years will bo read with iuterest by Milwaukee people. ‘The last that can be remembered with any certaioty took place in 1667, when a young man named Tesch was murdered by Elias H. Reed and Andrew Howard, two men of Milton Junc- tion, of rough character, who had strayed into Chicago, got **busted” aud wero on their way to Milwaukee tramping, when they met young Tesch, who was gowg homo to spend Sunday, in the deep railroad cut uear the rolling-mlls, as- saulted and killed him, and stole his watch, They were punsued and eventually arrested, aud on Mav Y, 1568, sent to prison for life. In 1870, Adam Enplhart murdered one Mr. Daker. On tho 12th of Soptember of that year the parties were drinking in » saloon, and ~got into a row, and on Eblhart going homo he was punsuad Ly Lake r, aud stabbed on hus own door- step. He died from the ellects of the stab. The murderer was sent to prison for seven yeass. Ou April 30, 1871, John Schlatter was srreated for causing the death of ono Ulrich, by poson. It was supposed that Schiatter was egzed ou by Ulrich's wife, but that part of the story has al- ways been shrouded in mystery. All that was certain was that Ulrich died a violent death, and Schlatter bad a hand in it, for which he was sent to State Prison for life. On Sept. 6, 1872, Louis Fetke murdered his wife. This wasa brutal affair. Fetke was a miserable cuss, in the words of the police, and, in s perfectly causclesa rage with his wife, hacked ber to death with an axe, she having his child in her arms at the time. He was seatenced, Dec. 31, 1872, to prisoa for life. “Tlieas were all the murders, except one, since 1867, until the two of last week and the week be- fore. It 1y doubiful if avy city in the Union of £imilar sizo can show such & record. It is a com- ‘mon practice for ladies to walk about the sbady stroets at night, for the sake of the cool even- ing nir. They are never wmolested. Nobody ever drcams of bewg attucksd Ly roughs. Your correspondent bad & talk with Mr. Back on tlhe subject of the oxtraordinary freedom of crime in Milwsukee a8 compared to Ler great neigh- bor, Chicago. Although ono would say tho Chief has every reason to be proud of his authority, ho is, in_reality, a man who has not & word to ey in self-praise. One cannot get him to talk Lalf eoouzl. The only explanation Do pretends to offer for the singularity is the fact that all the thuieves and rascals have paid Milwaukee & visit aud been wstantly driven out, and now give the city a wido borth. The dangerous clagses are woll known to the police, who bave been on duty s0 mauy vears tha: they aro familiar with the history of every profession~ al tramp aud daugerous character in tho coun- try. The depots aud steamboats are carefully watched by officers in citizens' attire. Any man who is suspected is always carefully shadowed untit his true cbaracter is discovered, when, if & bad oue, he i3 suddenly eeizod and brought ba- fore tho Clief, who just gives him a lecture, warzs him {o be off, and never visit the city again, sud tuen bas im %meuy sbipped. The houses of ill-famo and gambling are all under constant walch and surveilauce. Whenever a gambler or unfortunato woman comes o town, he or she is brought before the Chicf and warned that the ofticial eye is on them, and that their true in- terest is to quit, but if they won’t quit, to mind their p's and q's. It is almost an unknown tbing to have a row in_either of the class of atominations mentioned. As for our own roughs, every one bas such a wholesome terror of ““the Chief™ that he generally slips off to some other city before he is matured in the ways of vice. The Chief has two treatments, Kendricks and Shaughnessy, who understand exac:ly the policy of Mr. Beck, and carry it ont so implicitly that we shall never learn Wo are not an innocent’ commurity until the threo of them die.

The rather plain auster of tne artist had been cailed upon by the com- pany, after supper, as the custom was, to give & toast. She hesitatod, and was accordingly re- quired, again according to_custom, to give the ughest mon she koew. In a moment the name of Oliver Goldsmith dropped from ber lips, and immediately a sympathizing lady on the opposite side of tho table rosa and shook hande with Miss Reynolds across the table. Johngon Lad heard the expression, and had also marked tho pantomimic performance of sympa- thy, and be capped both by a remark which set the table in a roar, and which was to an effect which cut smartly in three ways. “Thus,” said he, “ tho ancieats, on the commencements of their friendships, used to sacrifice o beast be- twixt them.” ‘[he affair ends prettily. A few days after the “ Traveller” was published John- son read it aloud from beginnivg to end to do- 'lighted bearers, of whom 3iss Reynolds was oue. As Johnson closod the book she emphat- ically remarked, * “Well, I never more sl think Dr. Goldsmith ugly.” Miss Reynolds, bowever, did not get over ber 1dea. iler brother paiuted the portiait of the new poet, in the Oo- tagon Room 1n the square ; the mezzotinte en- graving of it was specdily all over the town.

Que afternoon Burke and a young Irish oflicer, O-Moore, wero crossing the square to Reynolds’ house to dinver. They passed a group who were gaping at, snd making admiring remarks upoy, some samples of besutiful foreign bus- seydom, who were looking out of the windows of one of the hotels. Goldsmich was at the skirt of the group, looking ou. Burke said to 0'Moore, &8 tuey passed him unseen, * Look at Goldsmith ; by and by, at Reynolds, yon will seo what I make of this.” At the dinner. Burke troated Goldsmith with such coolness that Oliver at last asked for an explauation. Burko readuly replied that his manner was ow- ing to the monsirous indiscretion on Gold- smith’s part, in tho square, of which Burke aad Mr. O'Moore had been the witnesses. Poor Goldswith asked in what way he bhad been so indiscrees ? “Why,” answered Burke, ““did you not ex- clsim, on lookiug up at those women, what stupid beasts the crowd must be for staring with such admiration at those painted Jezebels while @ man of your talent passed by uonnoticed?” * Surely, my dear friend,” cnied Goldsmtl, hor- ror-struck, “1 did not say 802" “1f you had not saidso,” retorted Burke, *“how should I have known it?” * That's true,” answered Gold- smith, with great humility; **I am very sorry, it was very foolish! 1 do recollect that somethin, of tho Biad passed throngh my mind, but I did nou thiok £ had uttered it !” It is o pity that Sir Joshusnever records the names of his OwD guests ; but his parties were 80 much swelled by invitations given on the spur of the moment that it would have been impossible for him to set down beforehand more thanthe nucleus of his scrambling and nnceremonious, but most enjosable, dinuers.

Tho wine, cookery, and dishes were but little at- tended to; nor was the fish or venison ever talked of or recommended.
