The Patient Living Only by the I se of Stimulants—His Death Momentarily Expected. New Yoke. April 2. An hour after midnight Gen. Grant was asleep. At that time Col. Fred Grant was in doubt whether his father would be alive at day break. He had little hope that such would be the case but he was happily disap pointed. The day dawned and Gen. Grant was yet living. The doubt of his son was based upon the fact that the doctors had spied the mouth.and above the palate, in the head, back of the throat, was eaten into. The gums on the ight side of the teeth were partially com sumed, the posterior and anterior arches on the right side wore gone, the palate on the right side was raw, and though the General •poke feebly, it was with difficult, and with scarcely any use of the tongue. Anxiety was further augmented by the statement from l)r. Shrady to the effect that unless there was a strong rally through the night, the General could hjtrJIy survive until early daylight. From 1 o’clock until daybreak, the Gener al rested uneasily. Doctors Douglas and Shrady were with him. and Rev. Dr. New man was in the house during the night. Tin gas was turned low in the sick room and in the library, the physicians and members of the family waited and chatted until about 3 o’clock while Col. Grant, and one of the phy sicians were on the watch. As Dr. New man pats it, that wonderful tenacity of life and strength of intellect sustained the Gen eral. His mind was clear as the daylight he had lived to see again, and he was living at what was deemed the critical hour and breath ing more freely than in the early part of the night Injections of stimulants were con tinued at short intervals. When he had re vived a little and was a little stronger, he glanced at the members of the family, phv 1 sicians, Dr. Newman and attendants all grouped still at the bedside, and uttered these words “I bles* you all.” At six o’clock Rev. Dr. Newman engaged the family in morning prayer and another day of anxiety and ol waiting was fairly ush ered in. From midnight no one present left the house nor called until 0.05, when Rev. Dr. H Tiffany, who was Gen. Grant’s pastor in Washington, called. Ho did not enter when told by a watcher that there had been no evidences of trouble through the night. Bulletin. At 7.45 Dr. Newman who had gone for a walk, was sent for in great haste. Bulletin. Gen. Grant passed a very unquiet night. He was continually going from his bed to his chair and back again. He was annoyed at tunes by attacks of coughing anil accumula tion of mucus in the throat. His strength j has been maintained by nourishment and stimulants, so that his pulse is reasonably steady. At 5 o'clock a failure in the pulse was observed to such a degree that the fami- ly were apprised and all toon congregated in i the sick room He spoke quietly to each member. By the administration of proper stimulants the General soon rallied, and is now at 8 A M., sleeping quietly in bed. (Signed) J H. Doi oi.ass, M. I). Geo. F. Siiradt, M. D. At 8.20, Senator Chaffee was sent for, and shortly afterwards Nellie Grent appeared at one of the windows and looked as if she had been crying. U. tv Grant. Jr., left the house at 8.30. When asked about his father he merely, shakes his head. Gen. Badeau called at the house about 8.50, and Dr. New man returned to the house at 9. Dr. Shrady left the hijuse at 9.15. He said that the Gen eral was then resting easily. At 10.10 the following bulletin was issued Bulletin. The General's sleep in bed continued until 9.30 this morning, whpn he arose and tried to go down stairs. He was gently induced to return to his room and chair w here he is now sleeping. When he took his place in the j chair, nourishment was brought to him.which he took without objection. In other respects his condition is as good as at 7.130. (Signed) J. H. Docolass. Dr. Douglass said that the General wa> conscious when he tried to go down stairs, but the doctor said he could not express any opinion as to how long the patient might lire. At noon the General was still alive The bulletin of his death at 11 A M. was prema ture. His death is hourly foreboded. Gen. McClellan and other prominent men sent telegrams of sympathy, and a number ot congregations forwarded dispatches, stating they had offered up prayers tor the General. Ex-Senator Chaffee left" the house *t 1.10 P. M. He said the General was verv low. but that he talked very lucidly. After the Gen eral had taken a cup of coffee, he remarked to the ex-Senator, that he thought the coflee hail done him good. Bulletin Dr. Fordvce Barker, at 3 o'clock, left Geu. Gram's house, where he had been in consulta tion. He said to a reporter When 1 went in. the General was asleep. He awoke and recognized me. saying, “how do you do.” I replied that I felt verv good and that he looked a little more comfortable, himself The doctor said that the General, during his visit, could breathe through his nose. He is of the opinion that the General will live through the night. His greatest danger, the doctor thinks, is to be feared between 4 and 5 A. M. 3.40 P. M.—The General has just had his throat attended to at his own request, which gave an opportunity to examine it closely. There is no increase of ulceration and the parts are not so angry in color as a week ago. He has the appearance ot being re freshed by good sleep. There has been a de cided improvement all day. 4.13 P. M.—Hamilton Fisli and wife drove up io Gen. Grant's house at 3.30 P. M. Mr. Fish was assisted up stairs and into the Gen eral* room. He had convriiation with the patient, and on returning to his coach, said the General was very feeble, but would, he thought, live through the night. 3.20 P. M.—It is reported here on good authority that Gen. Grant is now under the influence of alcohol. During the day, a num ber of injections of brandy were made. Gen. Sickles says the Geaeeral is about the same. At 8.30, Gen. Grant took his own temper ature. and timed himself by bis stop watch. He has gargled hi* throat and feels comfort able and cheerful. He has asked the mem bers of hi* family tbe privilege that he may enjoy their conversation. His general im provement continues. His pulse is 80, and of a fair volume. He is not suffering anv pain. Bcllktis. 10 P. M—Gen. Grant is feeling better than at at any time during the past two days. He is conversing with his family and friends. In dications are favorable for a comfortable night 10.30 P. M.—Gen. Grant is resting in his easy chair, after having enjoyed the conver sation of his family for half an hour. He has taken his nourishment with apparent relish His pulse is still steady and his mind is clear. An anodyne has been administered for the purpose of securing early sleep. He has no pain. G. F. Shrady. About 8.30 PM., Gen. Grant intimated to Dr. Shrady that he thought he would like to take his own temperature and also see how his pulse was. l)r. Shrady gave him the themometer. The General put it in his mouth and kept it there for about five min utes. The GeDaral also set hi« stop watch, placed it in his lap ond put his seeond finger on his pulse. At one time the watch seemed about to slip to the floor, but the patient could make no remark as the themometer was still in his mouth. Nevertheless, the General was able to take his own tempera ture and record his his pulsation, and this fact, was regarded by Dr. Shrady. as indica ting that his intellectual perceptions were clear and unclouded. When the General made his request for the themometer, I)r. Shrady said: “We must humor a sick man. General,” at which the General smiled. At *3 P. M., Dr. Shrady felt hopeful that the General would pass a comparatively easy night. Cyrus W Field called about 10 o'clock The venerable looking old man with snow white hair and f altering step, walked from Fifth avenue until he stood In front of the Grant mansion. Here he lifted his hat and bowed his head as it in prayer, He remained thus for a minute or more and then ascended the steps. The colored servant who answered the bell told the old gentleman that the gen eral was very low. and the visitor went away, weeping. It is stated on good authority that the dis- i ease, which i« well down in the sufferer’s throat, has made much progress during the last two days The patient has difficulty in breathing, as the cancer has also extended to the rear of the nose, lie cannot submit to an examination on account of pain. His weak condition could not stand it l)r. Shrady says his bulletins truly tell the invalid’s con dition up to the time of their issuance, but lie cannot say when the General will drop ofl. 'A detective stationed at the house will semi an alarm through the city when the Generai dies by means of engine house signals At 11 P M., U. S. Grant, Jr., and ex-Sen ator Chaffee left the house. The Generai was then asleep. Col. Fred Grant and Dr. Newman were in the room with him. Dr Shrady will remain in the house all night, it is expected that the General will pass an easy night At 11.30 the front door was locked, and soon after a light was visible in the sick man’s room only.

FORTY-SIXTH (OV'iRKSS. t-t|>e(‘lul Ht'Kslon, SENATE. Washington. April 2. In tlit? Senate today the chaplain concluded his prayer as follows: “We tarry a moment to ask special blessing upon our being chief tain. tie with him as he engages in this last struggle with a foe to whom the wisest and bravest must at last surrender, and though the skill of the physician and the kind minis strations of tender love may not avail to re tain him loncer n our midst, may the holy offices of our blessed Christianity have been so presented to his taith that, having fought the good fight, having finished his course lie may also be glad to testify before the world that he has kept the faith.” After the reading of the journal the morn ing bulletins relating to Gen. Grant's health was read from the clerk's desk. Mr. Morgan offered a resolution which went over for a day. asking information re 1 King to the appropriation of 83i*0,000 for the herokee nation of Indians, and the al leged misappropriation of a portion thereof. At four o'clock the doors were reopened and the Senate resumed legislative session. Mr. Salisbury's resolution to suppress a spurious report from the committee on post offices and poat-roads, was called up and adopted. Mr. Call arose to a personal explanation. A Florida newspaper had charged him with having caused the defeat of the bill intro duced bv his colleague, directing the secre tary of the trvasury to settle the claims of the State of F’lorida for expenditures made in the suppression of Indian hostilities The charge was wholly false. The bill had been post poned upon the motion of his colleague be cause of the discovery that the governor had entered into a contract with the claim agent by the terms of which the claim agent was to receive 860,000 out of the mint. 81000 to be recovered in case of a successful prosecution of the claim. He approved the action of his colleague. At 4.20 Mr. Sherman moved that the Sen ate adjourn sine die; carried. In announcing the result the Vice Presi dent said: “Senators—I desire to express to you my obligations and thanks for the kindness and support I have received at your hands. The Senate stands adjourned without day." Mexico and the U nited States. City of Mexico. April 2. The new treaty for the extradition of crim inals arranged with the United States govern ment will be submitted to the Senate. If the Senate approves the pending postal treaty with the UniteJ State*, “it will promote reg ularity and economy in international service Although the recent lowering of internal post age has greatly lessened the revenne preba bilities. that loss will shoriiy be compensated by the increase of correspondence.” The Royal Visit to Irelaad.

CENTRAL AMERICAN W AR. lauxe Numbers of Men to be seal to As pin wall Immediately—The Tennessee will start at Once for the Isthmus Ninety Men from Kittery, Me., Or* dered to the Scene of IMsturbanee*— Oiders forced from the Tailed States Consul by Threats ot Heath. W ashisgtos, April 2. In answer to a telegram sent last night by Secretary Whitney to the president of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company at New York, relative to the number ot men the com pany's vessel can lake to Aspinwall without delay, the following reply was received this morning “We can carry 200 men in the City of Paris tomorrow at noon, and 600 in the Acapulco next Monday." Secretary Whitney replied: “We will ship 200 men by your steamer tomorrow noon, with tents and camp equipage.” The Tennessee, with Admiral Jonett, will leave New Orleans probably today, with an extra complement of marines for Aspinwall and with extra provisions. This will place four ships and between 400 and MX) available men at Aspinwall for land service. The men will be taken from Brooklyn navy yard. In reply to a telegram sent to Commander Kane of the Catena, the following was re ceivedtoday: "Transit is closed. Steam ship property is safe and in my possession also the railroad property at the north end of the island. It is advisable to send another vessel." When it was learned in the navy depart ment this morning that the secretary had de termined to protect American inteicsts at the Isthmus by force, there was considerable ex citement among the naval officers on duty here. A number of them immediately volun teered their services to go to Aspinwall. The selection of officers, however, has been lelt to a board of detail which convened at 11.30. It is understood that Major Charles Hay wood of the Maine corps, will have immediate command of the marines. Naval officers of rank, however, will probably be in command of the expedition. I.ieut. lingers of the navy, who has recently returned trom Aspinwall, says the town con tains between five and ten thousand people. It is constructed on an island and contains two principal thoroughfares, along one ot which the Panama railroad runs. One street contains business houses and hotels built of •tone. The other, some business houses and residences, the uiiper stories of which are ot wood. The natives (Indians) occupy thatched buildings, grouped oil another portion ot the ialand. There arc two or three hundred Americans in the place who arc employed ai the ducks and in storehouses. The docks, the lieutenant says, are vultiable pieces ot property, as is also an extensive Knglish storehouse, built of stone. This house, to gether with the docks, w ith the exception of that used by the Pacific Mail company, were destroyed. Until the construction ot the rail road, Aspinwall was nothing more than an Indian village. The government officials are of the opinion that the transit will not continue closed for any length of time, it will depend on the information derived in the meansiiue,whether any additional force will be sent to Aspin wall Monday. The Pacific Mail Steamship Co. lias reduced the rate of taking the men to $10 per man, including their subsistence on the passage, and including their tents and camp equipage. This covers about the actual cost to the company for taking them, l lie four ships ot war. which will be at As pinwall by the time the Pacific Mail steatites arrives, have (tattling guns for use on land, and a force of sailors trained in their man agement. If, on their arrival at Aspinwall, it appeaas that the trouble is over, the ma rines will prohahlv he transferred to the men of-war. increasing their compliment in each case, or return to New York, as circum stances seem to make judicious. Portsmouth, N. H., April 2. A despatch trom Secretary Whitney was received at Kitterv, Thursday, ordering 1*0 marines to Brooklyn for Panama, to he sent by the first train. Providence, April 2. In accordance with orders received from Washington, all the marines on the U. S. ship New Hampshire at Newport, have their belongings packed ready for instant depart ure fer service. New York, April 2. •I. B. Hurston, president of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, says “We have had no despatches from Aspinwall since morning, when the town was announced as burned down. As to whether the rebellion still progresses, I cannot say. The whole incident has been a surprise to me. There are 12,i)00 white men on the Isllmms and 1 plenty of arms. Whv the Americans and j Europeans did md hand themselves together fur the |m>tection of life and property, I can't j imagine. The arms and ammunition taken front Colon were given up by our people I under an order from the U. S. consul, who i was in the hands of the revolutionists, and front whom the order was forced by threats of death.” Cable advices from Aspinwall received by Postmaster Pearson, report a serious loss of mail in the destruction of that city by fire on the 51st ult. The entire mail for the .South Pacific, despatched from New York on the 21st ult. by stesiner Colon, was destroyed, and also registered mail and ordinary paper mail for Aspinwall sent by the same steamer. The letter mail was nearly all delivered be fore the fire broke out. As accurately as can now be stated the mail for Central America and the Paeific coast of South America, hnrned, consisted of 150 packages of regis tered mail, ten sacks of ordinary letters and 55 sacks of pspers. Citt or Mexico, April 2. Exaggerated reports have been sent Irom here to the American press in regard to the Mexican forces now on the (tuatamalan frontier and en route to frontier points.

The committee reported this as the only objection to tin-confirmation. During the discussion a message was read from President asking that action lie suspended ami later the non nation was withdrawn.

Senator Beck has declared war on the administration, and says other democratic senators are in league with him. The Pennsylvania House has. by vote of more than three to one, passed the bill providing for scientific temperance in struction in the public schools. Democratic organs in the South find it hard to wait for the Sen ate to adjourn and the time to come when they expect the President will begin “the great work of reform of the public ser vice," which means, as one paper ex presses it, that “the radicals must go.’’ An Albany despatch to the New York herald says: “The air was literally blue at the capitol when the news of Postmast er Pearson’s appointment was circulated among the members. Most of the New York city members were wild with rage and chagrin, and several of the Brooklyn men expressed their opinion In unmistaka ble terms.” The appointment of Mr. Thomas Lam bard as superintendent of the erection of th' new public building in this city, is an excellent one. Our people feel that Mr. Lambard will discharge the duties devolv ing upon him in this matter with fairness, good judgment, and fidelity to all con cerned. Mr. Lambard is a democrat, but he is also an honorable citizen, courteous, capable and public spirited, and interested in all that concerns our city. 1 .c election in Rhode Island Wednes day, shows that the republicans of that State are active and victorious as usual. Next Monday Michigan will choose a judge for its Supreme Court and a regent of the State University. As the State gave a small plurality only for Blaine last November, and as the fusion which held then between the democrats and green backers is in force still, the issue of the contest will be watched with interest. But the most noticeable elections of the month wi'.l be the municipal struggles in Cincin nati and Chicago, the former occurring next Monday, and the latter on Tuesday. itatlier Itewilrierlng. 1 he reappointment of l’earson as |>oat master of New York is attributed to va rious motives. While there is a goneral agreement that Mr. Pearson is a capable officer, whose appointment is consistent with civil service reform ideas, there is also a wide-spread opinion that the under lying motive in the making of the nomin ation is political. On the outside the civil service reform ers appear to have the best of it. Wheth er this is reality or not remains to be seen. ‘•One swallow does not make a summer,” nor does one nomination satis factory to the independents make it certain that President Cleveland proposes to make the ideas and principles of civil service reformers the rule and guide of his administration. There are many republican postmasters and other officials holding positions at the present time, who are just as capable and efficient in the performance of their duties as Mr. Pearson in his. If the President is governed by the principles of the indepen dents. all worthy repub'ican officials should be retained notwithstanding the clamor of democrats to have them turned oat. Is this what he means by the reap pointmeut of Pearson? Let us wait and see. If this is but a sop to the independents in order to retain their sup port for his administration and especially in the coming election in New York, the nomination is as clearly political and par tizan aud as destitute of significance in a civil service reform point of view as though he had turned Pearson out and given the nomination to the most rigid democrat in New York. In an administration which retaius in an important position such a corrupt politician as Higgins, and propo ses to make a clean swreep of republicans throughout the country—as was announced in the same despatch that conveyed to the pub.ic the intelligence of the re-nomina tion vf Pearson—there cannot be much hope or encouragement tor independents. New York city will be well served by having a good postmaster, and this will be gratifying to the public; but how much credit is due to the President for it on the score of the civil service reform is something that may not safely be reckoned at this time. We are much inclined to be lieve that the independents have obtained from President Cleveland about all that thvy will receive, and that in future the bourbons will be liberally treated with official pap. But of this wc can better tell as the administration goes on its way. Distrusted Democrats Ibdigbaht at th* Nojuhrtiok or Pear sou.—Jdbilaxt Mugwumps. [Washington Special to Tribune.] The word “disgust” describes but faintly the feeling with which these nominations were received by the democrats. To ap point to office, men who had never rendered any service to the party was bad enough; but to yield meekly to the insane clamor of mug wumps was an nnpardonabie sin. The ears of both the President and Postmaster Pear son nmot have tingled all day. By nearly every faction of the party the nomination is denounced ss a political blunder of the first magnitude. The mugwumps of course, sre jubilant. They look upon Mr. Pearson’s re appointment as a great victory. No doubt it is. But they have to share the glory of their triumph with the New York County Democ racy. When Hubert O. Thompson was here about a week ago, he called repeatedly at the White House and impressed upon the Presi dent the importance of giving Tammany a black eye. It was the only way, he said, in which to keep the In dependent vote on their side. Tammany must be ignored; the county democracy must be exalted. Mr.|Cieveland listened at teutivelv while Mr. Thompson unfolded his plan for the disposal of the postmastership and the collectorship of the port of New York. One should be given, he said, to the conntv democracy; the other to the mugwumps. Tammany should be punished at all hazards. The President agreed with Mr. Thompson, snd on the day the latter left the city Mr. Pearson's reappointment was decided upon. Mr. Pearson's name was not immediately sent in to the Senate, because the President feared the clamor and anger of his democrat ic friends. For ten days he has been plied with advice, counsel, suggestions, prayers, remonstrances, threats—all having for their object the deleat of Mr Pearson. Postmaster General Vilas,one of the most practical politi cians enjoying the confidence of the President, strongly urged the appointment of a good democrat. So did other influential men in the party. They were opposed by mugwumps who were determined to make this a test case. The Kev. Henry Ward Beecher made a personal request in favor of Mr. Pearson. Kditor Godkin hurried to Washington and pleaded for Pearson. The cable, even was put in requisition to help his case. Two days ago the President almost wavered and seem ed determined to give the office to a democrat. Hubert O. Thompson got wind of it however, and at once dispatched to the front Mayor Grace, who finally carried the day for Mr. Pearson. It is whispered on the street that the Mayor was anxious to show his gratitude for certain votes which helped to elect him. At any rate the appointment was made to day, and the storm it has raised is not likely to blow over fur some time. One disgusted democrat blew his nose in eloqueut fashion as he ran his eye over the list of nominations, hut when it struck the name ot Pearson the air became blue all of a sudden with bad language. Con gressman Singleton, who, as a candidate lor Commissioner of Agriculture, read his own deatii warrant in the appointment of Mr. Colman, yet had presence of mind enough left to abuse the President roundly for yielding to the Mugwump threats. “If P-arson is reappointed because he is a good officer, why should not every other good offi cer be reappointed asked one democrat. Ami the Critic to-night pertinently remarks: ••If Pearson should be appointed, why should Wildman of Indianapolis, be turned out even before his time was up Wildman is just as good an officer as Pearson. Why make flesh of one and fish of another Is it be cau: a Vice President demanded one ami the mugwumps the other Where does civil service reform come in.” Personal. Prince Bisnmrk is 70 years old. Mrs. Louise Chandler Moulton is in Venice. Miss Edith M. Thomas, the poet, is the guest of Mrs James T. Fields, in Boston. It is reported that Mrs. Garfield is about to marry a Pennsylvania clergyman. Senator Cameron expects to start next week for New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California, to be gone some weeks. It is said tlmt James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet, will soon marry Miss Clara L. Bot-ford. who is also an Indiana poet. Miss Emma Thursby is to be given a com plimentary reception by Miss Cleveland at the White House next Thursday evening. Mr. Frank Millett. the distinguished artist and magizine contributor, baa gone West with C. F. Adams. Jr. for a stav of eight or ten weeks. The Rev. Dr. Phillips Brpoks will sail for England on May 9, deliver a course of lec tures to Cambridge University students, and return to Boston in October. A dispatch from Biloxi, Miss., says that Jefferson Ha vis is thought to be dying. For several weeks past he has been suffering from a return of rheumatism, complicated with a breaking out of his old wound re ceived in Mexico .18 years ago. The Misses Murfree were among the dis tinguished audience assembled to assist at Mr. Cable's charming reading last evening. There were three great novelists present,— Mr. Howells, Miss Murfree and Mr. Cable,— and it wasn’t a very good night for novelists, either. Boston could have produced half a dozen more easily.— lioston Trartler, .Wetrch 31. General News. A poplar *u felled at White Fern. Tenn., that made over 10,000 feet of lumber.

The bust of Bums recently placed in the poet's comer of Westminster Abbey was the result of 20,000 subscriptions, many of which were sent in by very poor people. It is suggested that the new party which is sure to be formed if president Cleveland con tinues his present independent course will not lack for a name, since it can so aptly be called the Surprise party.—Sunday Courier. It is estimated that the agricultural lands of California are capable of supporting 4,300 000 people, provided the lands be divided up into 1 GO acre farms and allowing eight per sons to each farm.—San Francisco Exam iner.

The flattering success attendant upon the Housekeeping Goods sale which I inaugurated a few weeks since, has prompted me to continue to offer, for the coming thirty days, the same unapproachable bargains that have been so uni versally appreciated by my customers. Pursuant to this resolve, I have largely augmented my stock of these goods, and through the month of March I shall maintain the same extremely low prices at which I have sold them during the past few weeks. To-day I shall add an unassailable bargain in Cents’ White Laundered Shirts. These shirts have always been sold, at $1.00 apiece. I have bought a large quantity of them, and 1 shall mark them at 60 cents each. This is a price that will insure an immediate sale. I would invite those in want of a good laundered shirt for a very little money, to inspect these goods. I have just received a large assortment of LADIES’ COTTON UNDERWEAR, Of the Well Knoien Hathaway Manufacture.

Sails Bmnrtrc Journal. -i The Work of Women in Financial Positions. 318; It would be absurd to say that women are never dishonest in money matters. Anyone who has wrestled with the domes tic labor service problem, to say nothing ot others, knows that women are often culpably dishonest as well as men but it is very gratifying to learn trom one of the leading journals of the country, that al-1 though hundreds of women hold positions of financial trust in the country, we have yet to hear of one of them being guilty of embezzlement or defalcation.” This tes timony is not confined to the United States. ‘•Women are excellent money keepers,” says the London Graphic. “While male cashiers form a grievously large percent age among the prisoners brought to trial for embezzlement, women and girls, being seldom exposed to the same temptation as men in the matter of dissipation, betting, gambling or speculation, have very rarely been known to misappropriate moneys in trusted to them. An hcnest woman is very honest, ‘an honest man is too often,’ as Lord Palmerston bitterly said, ‘one who has never been tempted.’ It is pleasing to every conscientious woman, w'to honestly desires the advance ment of her sex, to see the almost uni versal presence of women cashiers. We might add to the self-respectful and re fined woman cashier. It is true that wom en are employed because they will work for less pay than men but, at the same time, they would not be retained, nor would they multiply so largely and con stantly, if it were not that they did their work well. It is to the immortal credit of General j Spinner, whose remarkable autograph was once the most conspicuous feature of our national paper currency, that he first introduced women jnto the service of the United States Treasury. No one ever had a lietter opportunity to study the question, and he has left a record of the 1000 wom en under his direction, almost all of them engaged in handling money, that thev count more accurately and rapid than men that their ability to detect counter feit proved to be superior in almost every test; that they were, without an exception, honest, and were invariably more careful and painstaking in their work. Said Gen eral Spinner: ‘‘The shrewdest and quickest detectors of counterfeit currency were women, and in case of dispute as the genuineness of money. General Spinner invariably took the judgment of a Miss Grandin. who was for a long time employed in his bureau In speaking of her ability in this particular one day. General Spinner said “It I were a believer in clairvoyance I should say that she possessed Jhat power: but I am not, so I call it instinct.” Although there are several thousand women employed by the government as clerks, accountants, postmistresses, and in other capacities not one has ever proved unfaithful to her trust. Many have been discharged for incapacity aud for other reasons, but never one for dishonesty.” It is often alleged against the women clerks in our stores, that they are ineffi cient and unreliable. No doubt this is true in many cases. But that the sex of J the clerk has anything to do with the matter may justly be questioned. It is more than likely that if. in the same place were put young men ot the same age and lack of training, who consider the work a burden, a temporary hardship, to be got along with as easily as possible till some foolish person of the other sex should step in and relieve them from it by marriage, the set vice would be quite as inefficient. The women who handle money are. as a rule, of a much higher order intellectually, and take more rational views of life.— Weekly IVess. Swine Notes. 11. T. Miller. Bowling Green, Ky., writes: “1 think the Bcrkshires are mak ing friends more rapidly than anv other breed. We need onlv attend one ot the great shows of the West to learn this. At St. Louis this tall the largest and best formed hogs were Bcrkshires, and it seemed that the Poland-China men thought that their work was accomplished when they brought out a black hog with all the markings and general characteris-j tics ot the Berkshire.” A few days before farrowing, place each sow in a separate, warm and dry pen. not1 over SxlO feet square, and give but a few handfuls of short straw and forest leaves for a bed, This is an important matter. With too much bedding she will contract i a deep nest, and more than likelv crush the young pigs to death in it. With but a small quantity she will make a flat j nest and unless vexed or frightened, will rarely injure one. From returns made to the secretary of the Missouri Board of Agriculture he esti mated the cost of growing a pig in that State to 200 pounds live weight at 8* or about three cents per pound. In the oldest sections of the State the estimate is nearer four cents, while in southern Mis souri. where mast abounds in abundant forests, the cost is rated at two cents and under. In a large litter of pigs there will al ways be some that are under sized If the larger and stronger pigs arc taken from the sow first aud fed liberally they will not sufter, while the weakling, given more ot the sow’s milk, will grow rapidly and make the litter more even in size than they would be if all were taken off at once. It is never advisable to feed a large lot of hogs together. Some will al ways crowd the weaker ones away from the feed. The Little Child on the Traek. As the freight train on the East Side Road w as coming into Stephen's Addition on Mon day night the engineer and fireman saw-, to their horror, a little child not over three years old, balancing iier tiny self upon one of the rails ahead and clapping her hands in great est glee as the iron monster thundered along toward her. The engineer shut ofl steam and reversed the lever, while the fireman sprang to the top of the train and set two or three brakes quicker and tighter than they had ever been set before. To blow the whistle would be nothing but murder, thought the engineer, I for it would surely frighten the child and hause her to tall in front ot the train. So he called out. and probably the tones of his voice had never before been so tenderly modulated. But calling ar.d motioning, were of as little i avail as the endeavors to stop the heavy train so suddenly. The little girl, knowing no fear, I was waving her sunbonnet. and her laugh could he heard in the cab of the engine The strong man closed his eves and -a feeling of sickness came over him. But it was not des tin'd that that little life should thus be crush ed out. Something—was it mere|ehanoe or the brush of an angel’s wing?—caused the wee one to reel acd fall backward away from the track, her tiny feet almost touching the wheels as they went rumbling past.

Famous Men Who Smoke* Nearly all Public Men as Great Smokers as was Ever General Grant. If General Grant’s use of tobacco was excessive, there are very many men in seeming vigorous health, and of very active habits, who must regard themselves as very intemperate users of the stimu lant. Among public men it is the excep tion to find one who does not use tobacco in one form or another, sometimes in two ways, and almost all of them firmly be lieve that tobacco does not hurt them. Judge Kelley's case has been cited as one where cancer was caused by the excessive use of tobacco, but he told the writer that the cancerous affection of the cheek from which he suffered was due to the habit of going to sleep with a quid of tobacco tucked into his check and resting his head on that side. Judge Kelley, now 70 years old, smoked and used the best fine cut immoderately for fifty years, but he has abandoned the habit. Vice president Colfax for many years smoked ten or fifteen very strong cigars every day. He was suddenly attacked by a serious vertigo while vice-president and he attributed it to the narcotic poison. He at once stopped smoking; yet vice-presi dent Wilson, who never used tobacco, was stricken almost precisely as Mr. Col fax was. The late Senator Carpenter frequently smoked two boxes of cigars a week. Ex-president Arthur smokes less than formerly, lighting h;s cigar now seldom before dinner, but whet, in the late night hours he was busied with work his com panion was a cigar, sometimes three or four. I)r. Hammond is reported to have once said that generally three or four ci gars after dinner harmed few men ot aver age constitution, and Mr. Arthur thought they did him good. At all events, all of his messages to Congress were written under the gentle stimulus of fragrant Havana Most of Mr. Arthur'* Cabinet officers were good smokers. Mr. Erelinghuysen did not use tobacco, though As«istant Secre tary ot State, Mr. Davis, liked good cigars ami plenty of them Tobacco was the only thing that ever made Secretary Chandler turn pale. It was rank poison to him, and though he tried many years ago to overcome the evil effects, as be came a good politician, yet he never could. But General Gresham was a great smoker. He smoked on the public streets, at his work and wherever he could. Secretary Teller liked a cigar that would last a long time, and was not very strong. Secretary Lincoln smokes a good many pretty stiff cigars every day, and Attorney General Brewster liked one with body to it. General Sherman is a pretty constant smoker, and he smokes as he does every thing else, with nervous haste, so that the cigar is more than half chewed up. Gen eral Sheridan likes a good black Reina af ter each meal, with one or two thrown in between whiles. Vice-President Hendricks likes a cigar, but dearly loves the sweet Detroit fine cut which he buys in bulk. Perhaps Senator Frye is the most persistent smoker of the senators. If there be a long session in the Senate, he will leave his seat several times in the course of it. and retire to the cloak-room for a smoke. In his comnnt room and other places of unrestraint, he frequently lights one cigar at the stub of another. Poker Jack Bowen from Color ado, smokes constantly, and when he can't smoke he has a paper of fine cut at hand. The two New Hampshire Senators, Blair and Pike, do not use tobacco, nor do Sen ator Dawes and Hoar. The new Senator Chace of Rhode Island, does not smoke, but Mr. Edmunds smokes a few choice cigars a day, and now and then rolls a little pill of navy plug under his tongue. Both Senators Hawley and Platt of Con necticut, arc constant smokers, General Hawley not disdaining a good old-fash ioned chew. It is hardly possible for any one to smoke more, bigger or stronger cigars than the living skele ton called Mahonedoes. and his colleague, Riddleberger, is an almost constant smok er. All of the Southern senators, except Gorman and Joe Brown, use tobacco, and most of them use it in two ways Jones, of Florida, is not particular about the flavor of his cigars, and it is a standing joke among senators when they get a poor cigar to send it to him. He smokes it as happily as though it cost a dollar. Jones, of Nevada, on the other hand, will smoke none but the best, and he makes away with ten or twelve everyday. Beck, aside from a few strong cigars a day, likes to titillate his nostrils with a pinch of snuff now and then, but he does not do it so publicly as Senator Thurman did. Young Senator Kenna is a great smoker, and John Logan puffs fiercely at big black cigars. John Sherman smokes little cigars, light colored, and has them made specially for him. Ben Harrison likes a pipe in his office, but is more often seen on the street with a cigar than withoutone. Senator Conger likes to smoke three cigars a day. Senator Allison would rather smoke a good cigar and bluff out a king full than to dine at the most epi curean table. David Davis was a great smoker. Senator Conkling practically gave up the habit some years ago, but he occasionally cuts a cigar in'two and chews the cut ends. Dorsey has been for years a constant smoker from the time he arose till he retired. Mr. Randall does not use tobacco at all. but Speaker Carlisle would be frantic if he had,to go long without a quid. He does not smoke. Holman chews con stantly. but does not smoke. Sunset Cox does not use tobacco, nor does A. S. Hew itt. nor Governor Dinglev; but there are very few members in the House who do not smoke or chew, very many practicing both habits. Congressman Miller of New York, has made many friends with his superb Reinas, and ex-Congressman Morse of Boston, was reputed to smoke the finest cigars that came to Washington. —New York Sun. Don t Ask too Much A man who had an excellent appoint ment in the city was drawing 1,000 pounds sterling a year lor work that required some talent, but was pretty easy and plesant: moreover, he was on the fair way to belter things. But he was too impatient. His employers bore with him a while, and in fact raised his salary four times within three years, for they fully appre\iated his services. A day came, however, when they had to tell him plainly that his de mand* were unreasonable upon which he stood on his dignity, and resigned. He quite expected that he would instantly find in the city another situation as good as that which he had left; but he was not able to get an apppointment at so much as half of his former salary. Everywhere his presumption in asking tor 1.200 pounds sterling a year was laughed at. and he soon had to acknowl edge to himself that in the former situa tion which he had so toolishly thrown up. he had been most generously overpaid. Baldness. If you are troubled with a diseased scalp, if your hair is falling out, if it is weak and thin, or if you have become bald, your hair may be restored to its original healthful condition and color by the use of Hall's Hair Benewer. This efficient remedy combines the most desirable qual ities of the best preparations for the hair, without the use of any objection able ingredient. Mrs. Hunsberry, 344 Franklin ave., Brooklyn. N. Y., after a severe attack of erysipelas in the head, lost her hair so rapidly that she soon became quite bald. One bottle of Hall’s Hair Be newer produced a new growth, as soft, brown, and thick, as in youth. Gray Hairs are honorable, when they are associated with advanced age, but to be prematurely gray is unpleasant, to say the least. If you cannot renew your youth, you may, at least, attain the appearance of it, by the use of Hairs Hair Renewer. Randolph W. Farley, Nashua, N. H., quite a young man, whose hair had become gray, like that of a very aged person, applied Hall's Hair Renewer, and now his locks are.a beautiful brown, as in youth. He says: The effects, in my case, from the use of Hall's Hair Renewer are truly marvelous." Mrs. E. Elliott, GlenviUe, \V. Va., says: “One bottle of Hall's Hair Renewer re stored my hair to its youthful color.” II A I I *C VECETABLE IIMLL O SICILIAN Hair Renewer la not a dye, nor does it contain any coloring matter whatever. It restores the hair to its original color by exciting the scalp to a natural, healthful action, and is, also, an efficient remedy in cases of scalp disease. Walter Burnham, M.P., Lowell, Mass., writes: Having, by accident, seen Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer used for restoring the hair, where inveterate eruptions had resisted various kinds of treatment, I found that not only was the hair restored to its natural beauty, but also the disease of -the scalp was completely cured. I have since recommended the Benewer, fre quently, in similar cases, and always with the same success.” i ne Deauty ana vigor or t*e Hair Is easily maintained by the use of IlalPs Hair Re newer. Mrs. Susan II. Scott, Stoddard, X. II., writes: “The Renewer will cer tainly restore gray hair to its original color. I have used it ten years, and it has given perfect satisfaction. It keeps niv hair In splendid •condition.’’ Mrs. E. M. Rittenhouse, Humboldt, Kansas, writes: I have used Hall's Hair Renewer for years. It keeps the scalp clean and healthy, the hair dark and glossy, and pro duces a new and vigorous growth.” J. B. Ptincan, Laredo. Texas, writes: For a number of years my hair had been growing thium r, until a! last I became quite bald. The use of two bottles of Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer has restored to my head a fine, healthy growth of hair.” H. Erriekson, 4 Chest nut st., Charlestown, Mass., writes: When I commenced the use of Hall’s Hair Renewer, the top of my head was perfectly bare. I am now using mv fourth bottle, and nty head is covered wilh a nice growth of new hair.” Halls Hair Renewer, PREPARED BY R. P. HALL CO., Nashua, N. H., U. S. A. For Salt' bv all Druggists.

We know an unwise young man who, leaving a good place out of pure caprice, was earnestly advised by his employer to think twice of what he was doing. “You will find it a positive disadvantage to have served in our house,” said his employer; “for we are known to be just masters, anti nobody will believe that you left us of your own accord.’’The young man would not heed the warning, and the upshot was that he had to emigrate, having tailed in his endeavors to get another situation.— I'hamberx' Journal. Artemus Ward's Will. Among the archives in tlie vault of the Oxford (’minty Probate Court at Paris Hill is a copy «f the will of Artemus Ward. Ward died in England of consumption,and his will was made there. The copy is inscribed on two heavy sheets of parchment about two feet tquare, in the most elaborate style of the scrivener's art The copyist must have spent many hours in fasnioning the big capital let ters of old English text and the flourishes which decorate the instrument The pirch ment was sent to the Oxford County Probate Court in a heavy tin box shaped like a cigar case, only on a larger scale, being about t* inches long and 3 inches wide. The box is secured by a padlock on which are stamped the British coat of arms and the letters V. K” The testament begins: “This is the will of me, Charles Ferrar Brown Ward, known as ‘Artemus Ward.

Fleming, a prominent grecery mer chant, a member of the firm of Fleming Lofton, Augu-tu, (ia., makes the following statement of the treatment of a valuable h rse with *wift’s Specflc: In tile fall of ’NKt I hud a valuable colt taken with a Bevele case of pinkeye, which exulted in the mod fearful case ol blood poisoning I have ever seen. Af ter eight or nine months of doctoring with every remedy that I could hear of, I despaired of n cure. At this time the horse was unable to move, because of swollen limbs. Ilis right hind leg was a- large as a inan’s body, and had on it over forty iiiutiiug sores. He had also a number of large sores on his body and other limbs He was a most pitiable look ing object, and 1 was advised to end his sufferings with the sfiot gun. He was a vauable animal and I did not want to lose him. After racking mv brain in search f*t- another remedy more fficacious, I thought of Swift's specific. I knew it was invalu abb-to the human family in a Mood purifier.arid why should it not be for the anitnul as well? I did not hesitate, but sent last July to Atlanta fora supply. I began the treatment' with 4 oz. o. .s Utid4 oz. of water three times a day. This I continued tor a week. Then I increased the dose to A oz. of each, and continued for a week. Then I increased to k oz and run it a week, when I went back to 0 oz. again. The result was that at the end of the first we* k the horse had a fair appetite,which he had not had since hi- sickness. At the end of the seen* d week even greater improvement was apparent, for many of the sores were healing nicely and the horse manifested a desire to m ve about. At the end of the third week he began to show gain in flc§h,andhad full appetite. The -willing had about disappeared. I used in all about 15 bottles of Swift’s Specific, and when I quit its use the horse had only lour small son s left on him, and they healed up immediately. In August la.-t all symptoms of the disease passed away, a id up to date no sign- of the return of the trouble have made their appearance, and the horse has done a mule’s work n my farm. I regard It one oft tie most remarkable cure- I have ever known. Thus this great medicine has proven a boon to the animal as well as the human race. Augu-ta, Jan 9.18H5. Jas. L. Fleming.
