WHEN You find large manufacturers who retail their own product at first hands, you can safely conclude that they are in po sition to sell goods about one profit lower than the dealer who is forced to buy his stock from the manufacturer.

The Thrifty Marsh Appropriates the Pau pers' Little Alouey. Boston, May 3.—Dr. C. S. Martin testified at the Tewksbury examination to-day. He was a student at Harvard Medical School from 1871 to 1874. No babies were ever dis sected there, and no infant bodies ever brought in but once. No dogs nor cats were ever dissected, consequently their remains never mingled with those of human beings, as asserted in previous testimony. About $lO was paid for bodies; knew nothing of the disposition of the remains after dissection. Lorenzo S. Fairbanks testified that he had examamined the books in which Charles B. Marsh had recorded the money of patients, and there are fifty-four erasures and alterations, forty-seven of which were of figures in the money columns. These books cover from’ 1868, but for the first ten years of the present management no books can be found. The Governor then took the history book and read that an inmate named Allen had died in 1877, leaving $46 on the money book. Allen’s assets appeared as sl, and the book erasure looks as if changed from $46. Another book showed that $1 was paid to the State. Jane McGratv took $29.53 to Tewksbury, but was credited with $9.53, and the book showed that an erasure had been made in the most suspicious manner. Elizabeth Barry was credited with $4 in the history book, but on the money book the figure 4 had been altered to 1. Fairbanks testified that in a number of entries on the money book relating to the assets of other patients, erasures had been made most skillfully so as to make the amounts less than originally entered. The House to-day voted $90,000 to the Tewksbury almshouse, which is the same ap propriation as in the vetoed charities bill. Marsh, superintendent of the Tewksbury almshouse, did not file a bond when elected in July last, as required by law. This causes anew complication. The executive committee of the board of health, lunacy and charity decided, in the absence of a bond, to consider vacant the office of superintendent. Marsh will not be removed, not legally holding any position. Governor Butler's Proposal. Boston, May 3.—The committee on expen ditures called upon Governor Butler to-day, relative to the appropriation for the Tewks bury almshouse. The Governor guaranteed to run the institution on his own system if the Legislature would appropriate a sum equivalent to $70,000 a year. If any of the appropriation remained unexpended he would turn the residue over to the State treasury; if the expenses exceeded the amount appropriated he would pay the ex cess out of his own pocket. To show that the institution was properly cared for he would allow a committee of the Republican State Central Committee to inspect the in stitution. Governor Butler to Remove More Officials. Boston, May 3.—lt is reported that the Governor intends removing the whole board of health, charities and correction before Tuesday. The letter from the Governor to the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Chari ties in reply to the recent communication of the board to the Governor explaining the board’s action in applying to the Attorney general for airopinion regarding their au thority to assume the duties of the trustees of the Tewksbury almshouse, says: “Your board never has received any opinion of the Attorney-general or his assistant on ques tions of law relating to the duties of the board, but on the contrary, your board and its predecessors, the boards referred to in your letter, have over and over again le quested such opinions and often been inform ed during the last ten years that you could not have such opinions, and those letters should be on file in your office and ought to have been in the memory of the secretary and actuary." The Governor incloses Ithe Attorney-general’s opinion on the subject, which will, he says, “show them they had hotter get a secretary and actuary with a better memory, or at least one who can use it more effectively in the stating of facts." Myra Clark Gaines Gets Judgment. New Orleans, May 3.—ln the case of Myra Clark Gaines against the city of New Orleans, the report of the Master in Chancery was confirmed and interest added. Mrs. Gaines gets judgment against the city for $1,925,667. Mrs. Gaines brought suit to recover the rents and profits resulting from the occupa tion of the property known as the Blanc tract, which the city has not had in its pos session since March 10, 1837. City Attorney Buck says the case will doubtless be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. An Atlanta Assignment. Atlanta, May 3.—M. Franklin, wholesale notions, has assigned.

Counsel for Defense In the Star-Route Matter Will Submit Their Case Without Further Argumeut. Mr. Alexander Will Be itctaincd on the Hill Investigation. American Commerce and the Australian Mail—The Union Pacific and the Gov ernment-Notes and Gossip. THE MEXICAN TREATY. The Mexican Minister Explains Its Terms as to the Indian Provision. Washington, May 3.—At the Mexican legation some anxiety seems to be felt that the attitude of the Mexican government in relation to the crossing of the border by United States troops in pursuit of hostile In dians, should be corrected. As stated, it is thought the circumstances under which orders were issued, last Saturday, to Gen eral Crook, notifying him to adhere strictly to the terms of the conven tion between the two coutries, have not been fully explained, and that an im pression may be created that the application of this government for a modification of the convention was made some time ago and re fused at the critical moment when Crook had crossed the border. The circumstances, as they were explained to an Associated Press reporter who called at. the legation to night, are as follows: On the 28th of July, 1882, the Mexican government signed, at this city, an agreement with the United States government, by virtue of which regular troops of each country were authorized to pass over the border into the territory of the other in pursuit of hostile Indians, under certain limitations which were at the time thought convenient and de sirable by both contracting parties. On the 24th of April, 1883, the State Department proposed to the Mexican government, through the legation here, material modifica tions of the agreement of July, 1882, which were, in substance, that commanders of United States and Mexican troops be author ized to change the terms of the agreement when in their judgment it was advisable, so that a commander of either army might cross the border with his troops to attack hostile Indians at any time. Senor Romero, Mexican minister, cabled the terms of the proposition to his government, and on the 26th received an answer from the Mexican Secretary of State to the effect that no change in the agreement could be made except in the shape of anew treaty, which must be ratified by the Mexican Senate, but that the Mexican government was ready to consider all modi fications proposed by the United States, and would accept such as in their opinion were calculated to attain the object oi that agree ment, which, as they understood, was the speedy destruction of the hostile Indians. It is explained that the Mexican constitution requires the consent of the Mexican Senate to the passing of foreign troops through Mex ican territory, the same formality being necessary for this as for the ratification of a treaty, the Mexican executive not being empowered to act in either case without the approval of the Senate. No offi cial information has been received at the legation of the crossing of General Crook’s forces, but it is thought they are already in Mexico, and that General Crook’s movement was the result of a mutual agreement be tween him ar.d the Mexican commander, un der which the former has been enabled to enter Mexico with the consent of the Mexi can government and co-operation of Mexican troops. The opinion is also expressed at the legation that the failure of the Mexican gov ernment to accept immediately the modifica tions of the existing agreement proposed by the United-Btates will not interfere with the success of General Crook’s operations against the Indians. THE HILL INVESTIGATION. Mr. Folger Refuses to Remove Mr. Alexan der from the Committee. Washington, May 3.— Secretary Folger to day addressed the following letter to Mr. Murch, in regard to the pending investigation of the charges against Supervising Architect Hill. I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of jour communication of the Ist inst, in which you object to placing Mr. Alexander upon the committee investigating affairs in the supervis ing architect’s office in the Treasury Department. Oue objection is that his absence for ton or twelve <laja will delay the investigation that length of tune. Ido uot think it need do that, as the testimony will bo taken by a steno grapher. Tho other twomemhersof the committee can proceed in taking testimony, which can be read by Mr. Alexander on his return, with the name or nearly the same effect as if he were present and heard it delivered orally. Another objection is that the Fifth Auditor of the Treasury is subordinate to Assist ant Secretary French. That is an error; tiie Auditors of tiffs Department are not subordi nates of assistant secretaries—they are subor dinates only of the head of the department; in no manner is the Fifth Auditor's office attached to or under the special control of, or subordinate to either assistant secretary. Inasmuch then as tlie reason of your objection falls, 1 think the objection must fail also. I shall con tin no Mr. Alexander upon the committee. Ills absence is temporary, as I have before suggested, and need uot delay the investigation. The other two members of the cominirtee can start upon it, at once. I would respectfully ask that you signify, as soon as possible, when you will be ready to proceed. Very respectfully yours. Charles J. Folger Secretary. STAR-ROUTE TALK. Attorney Bliss Still Has tlie Floor at the End of Four Days. Washington, May 3.—ln tho star-route trial, Bliss continued his address to the jury. If Dorsey was an innocent man, said he, why did he continue Rerdell in his employment after he discussed his character? Why did he seek to compound a felony with him to prevent him from testifying instead of defy ing him to do his worst. Bliss admitted that the government witness Moore was not a man of the highest style, but asked if it was natural that contractors would employ a man of high character to do illegal work. They had threat ened to call Pelham, Moore’s counsel, to contradict him, but they did not dare do it; they knew he would corroborate Moore. The defense souirht to make the jury believe the government’s witnesses perjured them selves from mere pleasure in so doing. W hich set of witnesses had the greater iu- INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 4, 1883. ducement to be truthful? Rerdell had con fessed everything, and he (Bliss) trusted his punishment would be lighter than the others. He would meet his punishment and pass into obscurity. But there was no ob scurity or oblivion for the others, hence they sought to color the truth. Walsh’s testimo ny was quoted at length. The defense as serted that Walsh had animus against Brady, said Bliss, because he (Walsh) had a suit against him for a large sum of money. Certainly it was not then to Walsh’s interest to shut up his debtor in the penitentiary. Commenting upon the failure of the defense to produce the letter-book or index, Bliss de clared that the jury must assume that the index would reveal the absence of Rerdell’s letter to Brady which had been put in evi dence by the government. During the af ternoon Bliss read copious extracts from the record of the evidence, and when the court adjourned had not concluded his address. At a meeting of the counsel for the defense in the star-route case this evening, it was de cided that at the conclusion of Colonel Bliss’s opening address the defense should submit the case without further argumeut. THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL. The Importance to American Commerce of Continuing Present Contracts. Washington, May 3.—Robert J. Creighton, special postal commissioner of New Zealand, bad an interview with the Secretary of State to-day, in which he pointed out the import ance to American commerce of continuing direct mail communication with New Zea land and Australia via San Francisco. He says that when New Zealand inaugurated the existing service in 1871 the total annual trade of the United States with Australia was $2,709,137, but it reached $17,130,369 in 1882, an increase in eleven years of $14,- 421,232. Last year $4,331,356 in gold was imported from New Zealand and Australia. The cclonially subsidized steamships carried the United States mail to Honolulu and the South Pacific countries free, a distance of 7,230 miles, on each out ward voyage. This mail was heavy, weigh ing in letters and printed matter 108,990 pounds for the last three months of 1882. The United States charges abouts9o,ooo year ly for the railroad transportation of closed British and colonial mail across America, and the New Zealand representative urges that the ocean transportation of American mail shall be taken to offset the cost of land transportation of the colonial mail. If this proposal be agreed to, New Zea land is prepared to continue the existing ocean postal service, from which New South Wales withdraws at the close of the present contract. Mr. Frelinghuysen listened to Mr. Creighton’s statement, and promised to give it careful consideration. A similar re ply was given by the Postmaster-general, to whom the matter had been fully explained by the New Zealand agent. The officers of the department recognize the importance of the question to American commerce. GENERAL AND PERSONAL. The Dispute Between the Government and Union Pacific. Washington, May 3.—Sidney Dillon, pres ident of the Union Pacific Railway Company, has written a lengthy letter to Secretary Teller, embodying the views of the directors of the company upon the question of trans portation of mail service, the rate of com pensation for which is in dispute between the government and company. The latter claims that the amount due for postal serv ices is $4,650,027; deducting from this the amount for postal services as fixed by the department (under the rules applicable to all other roads), $1,911,138, leaves the sum in dispute between the company and govern ment, $2,738,889. This sum is far in excess of the balance due the government. The letter goes on to say that It seems hardly reasonable to require the company, under these circumstances, to pay the balance thus claimed until the questions in controversy can be judicially settled. The letter has been referred to the commissioner of rail roads. General McClellan Sends His Resets. Washington, May 3. —Some time ago Gen eral McClellan accepted an invitation to re spond to the toast “The Army of the Poto mac," at the banquet of the society of the Army of the Potomac, which is to hold its reunion here on May 16 and 17, but yester day the secretary of the committee received from him the following: Washington, May 2. My Dear captain—Since I accepted the in vitation to attend the banquet of tho So ciety of tho Army of the Potomac, a very important matter of business has unexpectedly arisen which will require my pres ence many hundred miles away on the 17th, so that with 6iuoere regret I shall bo obliged to withdraw my acceptance of your most courteous invitation. Nothing could have given me more pleasure than meeting once more witli so many of my comrades, and it would have afforded mo sincere satisfaction to respond for the army with which 1 was so closely connected. Begging you will convey to the oonmiitteo the regret with which I find myself compelled to be absent from the midst of my comrades on the I7tb,' am most sincerely yours, Georgk B. McClellan, Visitors to West Point. Washington, May 3. —The President ap pointed the following members of the board of visitors to West Point: Rear Admiral C. P. Rogers, Bishop William J. Kipp, of Cali fornia; Hon. J. N. Arnold, of Illinois; Hon. B. C. Whitman, of Nevada; Howard Potter, of New York; Hon. Asa French, of Massa chusetts, and Colonel L. M. Dayton, of Ohio. The senators and representatives designated as members of the board are: Senators Angus Cameron, of Wisconsin, and I. G. Harris, of Tennessee, and Representatives G. W. Steele, of Indiana; Amos Townsend, of Ohio, and William A. J. Sparks, of Illinois. A VWIt to the Pofttofflce Department. Washington, May 3. -Civil-service com missioners Eaton and Gregory held a long conference with Postmaster-general Gresham to-day, respecting the civil-service rules. Dr. Gregory made an examination of the records of the appointment division, with a view to familiarizing himself with the method of making appointments in that department. It is understood that similar visits will bo made by the commissioners to other execu tive departments. Inspecting the Ships-of-War. Washington, May 3. —Admiral Porter and spiff left Washington navy-yard to-day on the United States steamer Dispatch to inspect the squadron now assembling in Hampton Roads. It is probable the President will bo present at the review, the date of which may be delayed through the unavoidable absence of Secretary Chandler, who has been called to New Hampshire by sickness in bis tamily. Notes and Personals. Washington, May 3.—The Secretory of the Interior has ordered that N. B. Davis, attor ney and notary public at Huron, D, TANARUS., be suspended from practicing before the land offices. Owing to bad health, Senor M. Romero, Mexican minister, has decided to spend the coming summer traveling in Europe. The secretary of legation will remain as charge d’ affaires ad interim. It is understood that Senator Logan is urg ing the appointment of A. C. Matthews, of Illinois, as Commissioner of Internal Rev enue. It is learned at the State Department that no demand has been received for the extradition of any persons referred to in the recent cable dispatch as having been connected with the murders of Bailey and Kenney in Ireland. The Hawaiian minister authorizes a denial of the published statement that the Hawaiian government had repealed the laws forbidding the landing of Chinese in that country. He says his governmen t has protested against the embarkation of Chinese at Hong Kong and other ports, for Hawaii, and has given notice that steps will be taken to prevent their landing. The War Department has not as yet re ceived from General Crook a reply to the telegram sent him by General Sherman on the 28th ultimo, nor has any official infor mation been received with regard to his naving crossed into Mexico. The press re ports that he had passed the boundary line before the cautionary telegram could have reached him, are, however, fully cred ited at the department. D. S. Alexander, Fifth Auditor of the Treasury, is the newly-elected commander of Burnside Post, No. 8, Q. A. R. THE DRAMATIC FESTIVAL. The Largest Audience of the Week Witness the Presentation of "Othello.'* Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Cincinnati, May 3.—The largest audience of the season assembled to see the “Othello” performance to-night, every seat being filled and hundreds standing up, fully 6,000 people being present. It was Clara Morris’s first appearance, and She met with a most enthusiastic reception. Her reputation as the greatest emotional actress of the day doubtless had much to do with the tumultuous applause her performance of Emelia was greeted with, but to the minds of many it did not equal chat of Miss Marie Prescott and others who have essayed the role. She received the usual elegant floral offerings. The honors of the evening were early carried off by Lawrence Barrett, whose lago wgs a marvelously intelligent and forcible presentation. Miss Anderson’s Des demona was surprisingly good, and Mr. Mc- Cullough’s Othello was marked by a number of ofiginal innovations in business and reading. The quarrel scene between him and Barrett aroused the only spontaneous and long continued outburst of enthusiasm that has yet marked any of the perform ances. To be sure, there have been repeated rounds of applause and calls before the curtain, but very little wild and unrestrained enthusiasm. The scenic effects to-night were very fine, and elicited much applause. In an artistic sense the scenery could not well be surpassed. The Misses Vajen and Miss Martindale, of Indianapolis, are among to-day’s arrivals. Congressman Lamb, of Terre Haute, occu pied a box to-night with Mile. Rhea and other celebraties, and it is yet a mystery how he got in, Mrs. Senator McDonald was given an reception to-night by Mrs. Colonel McLean at the residence of her father, Mr. Kilbreath. There was a large attendance of prominent society people, and the occasion was exceed ingly fashionable. At the festival, Mrs. Mc- Donald’s beauty aud bearing command much attention. Art for Revenue Only. Henderson in Chicago Herald. Instead of the representation [“The Hunchback”] being characterized by the care in preparation that would make it mem orable the whole affair had the appearance of careless haste. Instead of the event being a tribute to art it was strictly in consonance with the principle underlying the artistic bombast heard in this vicinity—art for reve nue only. Cincinnati EnqiMrer. The verdict of the business men ot Cincin nati as to the festival, if it has not already been pronounced, can easily be anticipated. The festival has brought thousands ot strangers to the city who have contributed liberally to our exchequer, and will continue to do so for the rest of the week. But this is the smallest of the many benefits which Cincin nati will derive. It has advertised the Paris of America to the ends of the earth, the good results of which will come back to us as bread cast upon the waters. Miserable Death of a Miser. New York, May 3.—A miser, John Rus sell, born in England, aged sixty years, died, yesterday morning, in ward 24 of Bellevue Hospital, leaving twelve bank books, show ing deposits in most of the city savines banks to the amount of about SIO,OOO. He was received into the hospital on Saturday af ternoon last. He said that he had no friends and no home. His last place of residence is unknown to the hospital officials. lie kept his bank books rolled up in a piece of paper and hidden in his clothing. Sixty dollars in bank bills are left with his effects. He be trayed fear lest someone should get his money from him. lie was respectably dress ed. He said that he was a printer by trade, and had lived thirty years in this country. He was a member of Typographical Union No. 6, here, until 1871, when he was dropped for non-payment of dues. Fine Military Quarters. San Antonio, May 3.—The government re cently purchased forty acres of land adjoin ing the present site of tho military depot, and will soon begin the expenditure of $200,000 in erecting a handsome company post and bonutifying the grounds for drill and parade, and furnishing it witli all the requisites for comfort and convenience, as well ns ornament. This, with the elegant depot, line officers’ quarters and beautiful park, which have been so greatly admired by all visitors, will make Uncle Sam’s pos sessions here perhaps tho most complete in the South. Civil-Service Reform Association Meeting. New York, May 3.—The Civil-Service Re form Association, in its annual meeting, ex presses satisfaction at the result of the can vass against Hubbeir.s assessment plan and the successful prosecution of General Curtis. George William Curtis was chosen president. The vice-presidents include Benjamin 11. Bristow and Howard Potter. SEEKING THE BIG FISH. Tynan, Sheridan and Walsh Indicted for Murder at Dublin.

Reported Defeat of the False Prophet—An Explosion of Sewer Gas Causes Much Damage—Cable Notes. THE IRISH CONSPIRATORS. True Bills Found Against Sheridan, Walsh and Many Others. Dublin, May 3. —The crown has presented to the grand jury bills for murder against Peter Tynan, “No. 1,” John Walsh and P. J. Sheridan, and a bill as accessory to murder after the fact against Fitzharris. Walsh and Sheridan are in America, and Tynan is sup posed to be there. The grand jury have found true bills against Lawrence Hanlon, James and Joseph Mullett and Daniel De laney on a charge of attempting to murder Juror Dennis Field. They have also found true bills for conspiracy to murder against the two Mulletts, Lawrence Hanlon, Edward McCaffrey, Edward O’Brien, George Smith, Peter Doyle, Thomas Doyle, William Ma roney and Daniel Delaney. A bill against Thomas Martin, charged with the same of fense, was rejected. The grand jury also returned true bills against Tynan, Walsh aud Sheridan for mur der, and against Fitzharris as accessory after the fact They were sent back to reconsider the case of Thomas Martin, the bill against whom they had rejected, and after again de liberating for some time returned a true bill against him. True bills were also found against Edward O’Brien and Edward Mc- Caffrey for parficipation in the murders of Cavendish and Burke. Now that true bills for murder have been found, it is considered no longer open to the United States to refuse to extradite Sheridan, Walsh and Tynan. It is believed that Tynan will turn informer. A man named Hawkins has been arrested here. He will be arraigned to-morrow with Eugene Kingston and others on a charge of conspiracy to murder Poole, the Fenian center, who had turned informer. James Mullett was arraigned this morning on a charge of conspiracy to mur der, and pleaded guilty. William Moroney also pleaded guilty to the charge of conspir acy to murder. Several of the other men charged with the same offense are expected to also plead guilty. Lawrence Ilanlon was next arraigned on a charge of attempting to murder Dennis Field. He pleaded not guilty, and his trial began. The London Gang; Before tlie Coart. London, May 3.— Dr. Gallagher, Bernard Gallagher, Wilson, Curtin, Ansburgh, White head and Dalton, the seven men charged with treason felony in connection with the dynamite conspiracy, were again ar raigned this morning. The time of the ses sion will be occupied by the reading of the evidence taken at previous hearings, at the conclusion of which the prisoners will be re manded for another week. A Rumor of the Disappearance of Walsh and Sheridan Proves Untrue. New York, May 3. —Diligent search for Sheridan and Walsh, who have been indicted in Dublin for the murders of Cavendish and Burke, was made to-day, but neither could be found. Irish circles here are consider ably excited by the news, and it is said that should the British government cause their arrest a vigorous fight for their release will be made in the law courts here by their friends. No person seems to know anything in regard to Tynan’s movements. The latter, it is said, is also indicted for participation in the same crime. The Express says the neces sary affidavits to secure the extradition of Tynan (No. 1) have been here for nearly two weeks. John Walsh was seen by a Tribune re porter to-night. He said: lam of course not guilty of any connection with the Phoenix Park tragedy. The investigation at Paris proved that conclusively. I thought when I came to this country I would be secure. I would not care at all if they would only bring the informer over to this country and try me here with an American judge and jury, but the mere fact of my being tried in Dublin will convict me, as they have a hap py faculty of convicting anybody they want to. I can procure the most conclusive evi dence that I was in a small village in England at the time of the Dublin tragedies. To the same reporter P. J. Sheridan said: “This action of the government throws no new light on the subject. Application was made before for my extradition, and as I stood then. I stand now, fearless of any ef forts that may be made against me by Eng land. Any time the United States Court calls on me to make a defense I am to be found ready.” Sheridan said, in answer to a question as to his whereabouts at tho time of the Phoonix Park murders, that he would state that when the proper tiiue comes. The PhuMiix Park murders were called po litical offenses by Trevalyan, and lie so considered them. No one, he said, was less concerned than himself about the new demand for him. He thought he had lately been shadowed by a man whom he took to be a detective, but does not intend to leave New York. General Roger A. Pryor, who, with General Butler, has charge of Sheridan’s case, said all the facts have been gone over carefully, and no ground for extradition could be found. O’Donovan Rossa said the Englishman who goes to Ireland to govern should be killed or hanged. If ho could go over to Ire land now and kill ono of the prominent English statesmen, he would bo glad to come back here and admit it. To a question of a World reporter—“Do you think the English government will suc ceed in obtaining your extradition from this country?”—John Walsh answered: I do not know what the American govern ment may do in the matter. If I thought I could have obtained a fair trial in Dublin, be fore an impartial jury, I should never have left England; but in Dublin, at present, on the testimony of perjured informers, they could as easily find an indictment against you as against me for complicity in tho Pluenix Park murders. We are used to that sort of thing in Ireland. A World reporter asked Sheridan: “Do yon regard the murder of Cavendish and Burke as a political affair?” Sheridan replied: “I do not think any body should think otherwise, inasmuch as PRICE FIVE CENTS. the government officials themselves admit it to be a political offense. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ireland, in one of his speeches, said it was one ot the worst political offenses ever committed in Ireland; and if he regards it as a political offense I am willing to accept him as sufficient authority, on this subject at least. Certainly a person cannot be extra dited from this country for a political of fense.” The World reporter called upon Alexander Sullivan, of Chicago, president of the Irish National League of America, and asked what action, if any, the league would take official ly if the demand was made for the extradi tion of John Walsh, P. J. Sheridan and Peter Tynan? u “I don’t see,” answered Sullivan promptly, “that any action in these cases will come within the province of the League whatever. Assistance may be rendered to these gentle men in defending themselves, if defense be necessary by a demand for their extra dition, and will doubtless come from private sources, and I have no doubt but that from private sources an abundance of aid will be given them. But it will readily be seen that if the league were to begin taking action in cases of this char acter its time and resources would soon be demanded in many matters entirely ex traneous to its platform, and not included in the principles, upon which it is or ganized. My individual opinion is that these are cases which come clearly under the head of political offenses, and England herself has established a precedent which should govern the United States in dealing with these cases. The Orsini case is an illus tration. In these cases it seems to be thought that much stronger evidence should be required than that already made public to justify the extradition of these men. I think the government of the United States should not surrender upon any demand from England for extradition any man, or any number of men, upon the mere evidence of informers, who confess themselves de liberate perjurers and assassins. Ground on Which Extradition W*l! Be Asked. London, May 3.—The Times says: “If a demand for the extradition of Tynan, Walsh and Sheridan be made, it will be based not on a charge of general conspiracy, which must be held to wear a political aspect, but on a specific criminal accusation.” THE LAW IN THE CASE. No Demand for Extradition—The Section Regulating; Snch Proceedings. Washington, May 3.—No communication lias been received by the British legation in this city from the home government with re gard to the extradition of any of the Irish men now in the United States who have re cently been accused of crime in Great Britian. The law which will regulate the extradi tion proceedings in the cases of the persons mentioned, should their surrender be de manded, is contained in article 10 of the treaty of Aug. 9, 1842, which is as follows: It is agreed that the Uuited States and her Bri tannic Majesty shall, upon mutual requisition by them or their ministers, officers or authorities, respectively made, deliver un to justice all per sons who, being charged with the crime of mur der or assault with intent to commit murder, or piracy, or arson, or robbery, or forgery, or the utterance of forged paper, committed within the jurisdiction of either, shall seek an asylum, or shall be found within the territo ries of the other, provided that this shall only be done upon such evidence of criminality as, ac cording to the laws of the place where the fugi tive or person so charged shall be found, would justify his appreliension and commitment for trial if the crime or offense had there been com mitted; and the respective judges and othes magistrates of the two governments shall have power, jurisdiction and authority, upon com plaint made under oath, to issue a warrant for the apprehension of tho fugitive or person so charged, that he may be brought before such judges or other magistrates, re spectively, to the end that the evidence of criminality may bo heard and consid ered; and if ou such hearing the evidence be deemed sufficient to sustain the charge, it shall be the duty of the examining judge or magis trate to certify tho samo to the proper executive authority, that a warrant may issue for the sur render of such fugitives. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. The 3lexicau Government Pushing Forward Public Works. Mexico, May 3.— -The Mexican government made a contract with Buette. Case Cos., of France, for harbor improvements at Vera Cruz, the northwest breakwater to be com pleted in five years, and all the works to be finished in twelve years. The government will pay the contractor 10,047,000 Mexican silver dollars in weekly payments of SIO,OOO as the work proceeds.

Harrodsbiirg Special. Amid all the talk and excitement and fill ing of the air with gossip of scandal, the party most deeply affected by the terrible tragedy has almost escaped notice. This is poor Mrs. Davis, the widow of the murdered man. Her home is in the suburban part of the town, near the noted training-stables of her brother-in-law, Crittenden Davis. The house is a pretty frame cottage in the middle of a ten-acre lot of pasture land, dotted here and there with poplar trees. The home of Walter Davis bore evidence that he was u man of cultivated, though quiet tastes. It was an ambition of his to make his home beautiful and comfortable. Mrs. Davis lay on a couch, with her mother and a sympathizing neighbor sitting by her side. She is a delicate little woman, refined in feature and nervous of tempera ment. The shock had been almost too much for her. Her love for her children was her great tower of strength in the dreadful trial. In a gentle manner she protested that justice had not been done her husband—“as good, loyal, kind and noble a husband as ever woman had/’ she moaned. “Oh! why did Phil rob me of him?’’ she piteously asked. It was pathetic to see how this woman as serted, over and over again, her immovable trust in the honor of her husband. Her mother insisted that Mrs. Davis should know the worst of the affidavits. After they had been stated to her, she said she had beard before what they contained. “It was all a concocted lie!" she vehemently assert ed, and then a torrent of passionate indigna tion came over her, she laying all her mis fortunes at the feet of the beautiful Miss Jes sie Buckner. When she got cal in again, she said, “Miss Buckner threatened to have her revenge on me, and God knows she has kept her promise." Mrs. Davis, time and again, declared that there never had been a shadow between her and her husba* and. On the night before he had started to Chicago lie had made the fond remark to her that in ids domestic relation he was the happiest man in the world. She said he was not a drinking man. As for Mrs. Thompson, she had never seen her drunk, although she had heard that she drank sometimes. She believed Mrs. Thomp son to he a good, pure woman, and she (Mrs. 1 Davis) could have no possible objection to 1 her husband taking her to the theater when he met her iu another city, as they wore inti mate. “Nor would Phil. Thompson object." ehe went on to say, "for he had told his wife that when she wanted money during Ws ab peice in Washington, she could go to Mr. Davis for some, and even now Phil. Thomp son owi Mr. Davis a thousand dollars. Spechre's Rand Broken Up. Ff.

Louisvilie Commercial. General Taylor yesterday received a dis patch from Louis Glover, Franklin, Ind., di recting him to meet the 5:30 o’clock train at the depot and arrest his sixteen-year-old daughter, who had run away from home. When the train pulled in, a pretty blonde, dressed in a neat traveling suit of navy-blue cloth, and wearing a jaunty little velvet cap, alighted on the platform. She had her tiny hand placed confidingly in the broad palm of a rustic lad scarcely nineteen years of age. The two started to call a hack, when Officer Lindsay asked them to stop, while he inquired of the young lady if her name was not Net tie Glover? “It was until about an hour ago,” responded the girl. “We ran away from home and went to Jeffersonville. In that place we were mar ried by ’Squire Eph. Keigwin, and now my name is Mrs. William Ferguson.” The detective explained that a dispatch had been received from her father authorizing her arrest. “It’s no more than could be expected from that old chap,” snapped the girl. “He wanted me to marry a rich fellow whom I could never love. Mr. Ferguson is only nineteen years old, but I loved him and married him. With your permission we will return on the next train to my father, and show him my husband.” Steamer Sunk at Madison. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Madison, May 3. —The steamer Fannie Freese, a packet running from Louisville to Frankfort, sank two miles and a half above Madison this morning. The boat was very heavily loaded with corn, rye and lime, al most to her guards, when she landed at Mad ison at 8 a. m., and then took on 150 barrels of flour from Trow Cos.; so that the proba ble cause of her sinking was overloading, though her officers claim she struck a snag, which will be ascertained after the boat is raised. She is owned by 8. V. Pence, of Louisville, and commanded by Captain Ben. Freeman. The boat is valued at $7,000, and the cargo about $4,000. The’ probable loss to the boat will he $2,000 or $3,000, unless it should be ascertained that the overloading was what caused the sinking of the boat, when the owner will be held responsible. The water is about seven feat deep where the boat sank. Beligerent Democrats. Terro Haute Express. Very naturally Dr. Van Valzafi was not in a happy frame of mind yesterday, and so when he met ex-May or Havens he felt like saying something mean to that gentleman, who, it i9 well known, has been a kicker against tlie ring rule. Van Valzah therefore opened the conversation by saying: “I con gratulate you, Havens, on your success. I understood you voted openly against me.” “Yes, I did, and I am glad of it.” “You are to be a candidate for United States marshal if the Democrats win in ’B4. I would like to see you get there,” “Well, if lam I won’t ask any favors of you. lam as good a Democrat as you are.” Thereupon the doctor disputed this state ment, using the word liar in doing so. Tins required either a biow or a harsher epithet from Havens, and lie chose to call the doc tor's parentage in question, whereupon tlie doctor struck the ex-mayor, who returned the blow. Bystanders interfered and spoiled the fight. Tbe Dead Mayor of Vincennes. Sun, Wednesday. He was a good man, and no word of re proach has ever been cast upon his integrity. He was a kind husband and father, which at tributes are always to be admired and emu lated. That his sensitive nature should lead him to such keen disappointment and des peration is but another evidence of that fine sense of honor that characterized him in all the walks of life.

ACCIDENTAL AND CRIMINAL Burning of tiie Steamer Grappler on Puget Sound. Fearful Scene of Panic Among: Chinese Passengers, Sixty of Whom Are Suoposed Lost. Six Lives Lost by an Accident in a Nova Scotia Coal Mine. Murder of a Boston Man in Indian Terri tory—Attempt to Poison a Family —Crime in General* THE CASUALTY LIST. Burning of a Puget Sound Steamer—Sixty Lives Reported Lost. Ran Francisco, May 3.—The news of the burning of the steamer Grappler was brought from Nanaimo, B. C., by John McAllister. She was burned four miles off Seymour Nar rows, on Sunday night Fire was discov ered, which the enigneer immediately re ported to the captain. One hundred passen gers, principally Chinamen, were all in bed. An immediate search was instigated by the captain, who discovered fire back of the boiler connection. The engineer started the donkey and connected the hose. By this time the passengers were warned, and the excitement was intense. The China men behaved like insane men, were utterly uncontrollable, and seriously impeded the action of the officers. The captain ordered shot all who refused to obey orders, but notwithstanding all this the Chinamen rushed backward and forward on the vessel until it was found necessary to knock some down anjl carry them below, while others were ironed. All this time the fire was gaining, and efforts to control it were unavailing. The captain ordered Pilot Franklin to head the steamer for the Van couver shore and beach her. As soon as the sands were struck the boats were lowered. The excitement was so great that the China men jumped into the boats, swamping them, and owing to the intense smoke those who could swim didn’t know which direction to strike, and, surrounded by a mass of strug gling Chinamen, were drowned. F ata! Gat Explosion at Vicksburg—Three Lives Lost* Vicksburg, May 3.—The watchman of the Refugee Mills last night went to the gas vault, to wind up the machinery. When he reached the door Harry Parks, MinnieCaven der and Lelia McMasters were to go to see how the machine worked, and were about ten feet behind the watchman. Parks had a lantern, and when the door was opened the gas in the vault rushed out and was ignited by the lantern, and the flames enveloped the Snrty. Miss Cavender is dead, and Parks and liss McMaster are thought to be fatally burned. Hopper, assistant engineer, had his ankle broken by the force of the explosion. An employe, named Green was badly burned in endeavoring to save the women. The Scranton Gas Poisoning Case. Scranton, Pa., May 3.—James McGrath, one of the victims of Sunday night’s gas poison ing at the Scranton House, died yesterday. His death has brought out much that makes the story one of the saddest and the most sensational ever known in this vicinity. His paramour’s identity is again shrouded in mystery. Yesterday Ida Beto, whom it was supposed to be, turned up at her home in Susquehanna county, and this escapade, at least, is not to be placed to the credit of pretty “Goldie Dare.” The woman lying semi-con scious and struggling against death is, how ever, a perfectima.-e of the Highland heroine, end itw*id not until the telegraph announced “Goldie’s” safety on her mountain home that her uncle was convinced that his niece was not on a death bed of shame. Just be fore McGrath died there was a gleam of re turning consciousness, and in reply to a question who was his companion, said: “My wife in heart, though not in fact.” A search ing investigation has failed to reveal any thing except that the girl is now supposed to be Anna Thomas, whose father, a man of moderate circumstances, resides near Mer rick Center, Wayne county. Six Men Killed in a Nova Scotia Mine. Halifax, May 3. —The News’s Glasgow dis patch says: “While the men were coming up from work in the Vale mine the rope broke, and the boxes ran down the slope, kill ing six men—J. R. Gillis. Colin Campbell, A. Frazer, Wallace McGilliory, J. Mc.Eachern (boy) and Wm. Hannahan (boy). Injured fatally—A. McLeod. John Nicholson (boy), Richard Taylor, A. Irving (boy) and Malcolm Beaton. Struck on a Crossing:. Detroit, May 3.—This afternoon a train on the Detroit Lansing road, near Howard City, struck a wagon on a crossing, killing two women and a man named Johnson, the team running away. The engineer could not see them on account of a deep cut. THE CRIMINAL RECORD. A Bostonian Murdered in the Indian Terri tory. St. Louis, May 3.—Advices from Indian Territory say: “John A. Neal, of Boston, whose brothers are among the heaviest hide and leather dealers in Massachusetts, was murdered on the ranch of the Kansas City Cattie Company some days ago. He was in the Territory for his health, and living in a dug-out with two cattle-herders. On the morning of his murder his companions left the dug-out as usual to attend to the cattle, leaving Neal reading. In a couple of hours one of the men returned, and found Neal dead. The man immediately started for a camp six miles away for help, and when he returned it was found that Neal had been killed with a hatchet, the pole of which had been sunk in his head, and that lie had been robbed of $250, his watch and other valua bles. There is no clew to the murderer, but the matter was reported to the authorities and Neal’s relatives advised of the sad occur rence.” Tho dispatch does not state when nor precisely where the murder occurred. Arrested for Converting Money. New York, May 3.—Thomas B. Pheby, sometime superintendent of the Inyo Con solidated Mining and Milling Company, was arrested in an action for tho recovery of $50,000, which he is alleged to have converted to his own use. It is claimed that after tho partial destruction by fire of the mill and machinery of the company, in Erie county, California Pheby was commissioned to col lect the insurance in Han Francisco, come here and turn over all money in his posses sion belonging to the company; that ho stated he collected $70,000 and expended $69,000, but subsequently admitted that the expenditures were but $19,000, and promised to refund the difference. He failed to do this. A Paymaster Robbed. Fort Worth, May 3.—lnformation reached this city, on Tuesday, that Major Wesson, army paj r master, had been robbed of his va lise, containing $24,000 in currency, while occupying a sleeper on the Texas Pacific road, near Sweetwater, on Sunday last. .He was on his way to pay the troops at Fort Bliss. While he was paymaster there he was continually dogged by a low gang, the members of which were always on his track. He could not go from his office to the bank, or from the bank to the railway without be ing followed. It is supposod that this same pane, or part of it, is to blame for the pres ent robbery. Major Wasson is held in the highest esteem by Iris fellow-officers, and not the slightest suspicion rests upon him. A Free Figlit—Several Injured. ATcnisoN, Kan., May 3.—A serious affray, which occurred at Eden, a small town in this county, on Sunday night, has just been re ported. About forty young men from farms in the vicinity gathered in a saloon for the purpose of a frolic. A dispute arose over a trivial matter, and a free fight ensued in which knives and pistols were used. James Volmer, Polk Kelly, two Baker brothers, and three brothers named McCarthy were wound ed, but how seriously is not stated. Active movements are on foot to punish the of fenders. A Discharged Man Commits Murder. Eagle Rock, Idaho, May 3.—Whitley, a discharged employe of the Utah Northern railroad, entered the station, to-day, and called Station Agent W. B. Green to the counter. After exchanging a few words, he drew a revolver and fired three shots, each taking effect, inflicting fatal injuries. Whit ley was arrested, and it is thought he will be lynched. The shooting grew out of the corn plaint made by Green upon which Whitley was discharged. Attempt to Poison a Family. Cleveland, May 3.—A diabolical attempt was made to poison the Speece family at Delaware, last evening. The members of the family were absent at the funeral of the husband and father, when an unknown per son put strychnine in the tea-kettle. Tea was made from the water on their return, but the bitterness was detected in the tea by a member of the family, and a physician sent for, who discovered strychniue crystals in the kettle. An Insane Man Burns His House. Omaha, Neb., May 3.—About 2 o’clock this morning Frank Meystrick, living near the city limits, drove his wife and children from the house in a beating storm, set fire to the dwelling, then mounted guard with a shot-gun and kept the neighbors at bay until the building was consumed with itsconteuts, involving a loss of $2,500. Meystrick is insane, and will be taken to the asylum. Essie Davis Held as Accessory. St. Louis, May 3.—Judge Noonan, this morning, in ruling on the motion to dis charge Essie Davis from custody, who, with Bert Wing, is in jail for the murder of Joe Glenn, decided to hold her as an accessory after the lact, for the action of the grand jury. FIRES AT VARIOUS POINTS. Many Homeless Families and Great Loss at Fairfield. Me. Fort Fairfield, Me., May 3.—Fire last night turned twelve families into the streets and nine stores and shops were burned. It is impossible to estimate the loses at present. All were partially insured. Everything was burned from the school-house to the post office building. A Tennessee Town Burned. Nashyillf., May 3.—A fire broke out, to night, in the store of Rutledge Bros., at Tuliahotna, sixty-nine railles out on the Nashville Chattanooga road, destroying thirty houses, including the railroad depots, telegraph and express offices. Paper-Mill Burned. Petf.rboro, N. H. May 3. —The Barker paper-mill, owned by Sylvester Tenney, was burned last night. It was run by Clark Jacobs, of Worcester, Mass., who lose their entire stock. A Model Kitchen Table. New York Tribuue. My cooking table is eight feet long—it should be nine—and is placed in a recess be tween the chimney and a window, the size of which decides its length. It is two feet seven inches high, and should be two feet three inches on top. Below it is inclosed at the back and ends, and has doors in front. It has no floor, but stands directly on the floor of the room, and is movable. The inclosed space below is divided into three compart ments. The right-hand closet contains the flour barrel; a door coming down to the floor opens to admit it and closes tightly again un til the next barrel is needed. Inside there is a space to hang baking-pans by their rings on the partitions; over tiie flour barrel there fa a lid that is raised whenever flour is to be taken out; the sieve and scoop remain in a barrel. The lid is a part of the surface of the table, and opens over the whole width of the flour compartment. Above the door of the mid dle closet there is a drawer without back or sides, which is the bread-board. When drawn out and turned around the front be comes a back, and is very useful in prevent ing the scattering of flour in rolling pastry; when,returned to its place the roller can re main upon the board. Below this drawer is a closet with a door, and a shelf large enough for a pan of milK, or bowls and pudding dishes. Below the shelf is space fora bucket of sugar, a jar of lard or cream and a mo lasses jug. The left-hand closet has at the top a drawer divided into two compart ments, one for eggs, the other for spices, yeast powders, nutmeg-grater and cake-cut ter. A shelf below holds boxes of saleratus, a bag of salt, boxes of rice or tapioca, jug of syrup, jar of preserves, while in use, or i3 an excellent place to keep pies. I can assure any woman who has not the lat ter convenience, that it is a great saving of time in cooking to have all these in reach of her hand without stepping from her place. Tne table, including its surface, being about an inch and a half higher than a flour barrel, a short woman cannot mould bread or roll pastry easily without something to stand on. A narrow piece of board about two feet wide, with two pieces of board nailed ucross its un der side, is one of the best conveniences of all. for on a cold morning, when I have bis cuits to bake. I warm my wooden cricket by the fire, and it saves me any uncomfortable chillness, and as the closet door swings over it is not in the way. There should he a nar row strip of wood nailed upon the back of the surface of the table an l one ucross, between the principal part of the table and the floor division, to keep water from flowing over the back or into the division containing flour, when washing the table after cooking.

A Prominent American-German Ed itor Advocates Retaliation. Effect of Germany’s Policy on the Ameri can Market—The Outbreak of Triclii niasis at Tilsit, Germany. Chicago, May 3. —ln an interview to-day upon the pending controversy over the im portation of pork into Germany and the action taken by Minister Sargent, Hermann Raster, editor of the Staats Zeitung, one of the oldest and most influential journals of its class in the country, contends that* the action of the German government is due solely to the failure of the American Con gress to guard against such a move. He states that a few weeks before Congress ad journed he had a certain resolution intro duced to the effect that the President should be empowered, in case any foreign country prohibited the importation of American products before the meeting of the next Congress, to retaliate by pro hibiting the importations of the products of that country, but Congress adjourned with out taking action. The mere threat of re taliation would have been sufficient to have prevented any such law being thought of. Said the gentleman: “You are in favor of retaliation, then?” “I am in favor of retaliation on an all Ger man imports, if necessary. Ido not consider that any protest even is necessary. It would be sufficient for the government to say: ‘You have prohibited the importation of our pork; now, we are going to retaliate by prohibiting t lie importation of all your exports.’ But if a pretext is wanted, it is not necessary to institute any investigation. Their own courts furnish evidence enough that some of their own wine is adulterated, and that would be a sufficient warrant for the prohibition of it all. It would be suffi cient for the government to say: ‘Some of your hosiery contains poisonous dyes, and we mean to protect our people against danger from them by the total prohibition of their importation.’ “Do you believe a sanitary reason had any thing to do with the action of the German government?” “Pshaw! The German government knows very well that any trichinae they have in Germany they get from German swine. I look upon their action as an insult to this country.” The gentleman asserts that the German government sent commissioners here to find out how American swine are killed, and without waiting for a report, adopted meas ures clearly showing that a pretext only was desired. He did not know what effect retali ation would have now, but he believed in trying it in any event. He finally declared that if the President or Congress would stand against the German government it would re ceive the sanction of the entire American na tion, including practically every German- American in the land, among whom the sentiment was general that Bismarck does not rule this country, and should have the fact demonstrated to him in an unmistakable wav. Philip D. Armour, one of the most exten sive packers in the West, asserts that the prohibition of American pork by Germany has a barely visible effect upon trade in com parison with other foreign shipments; but lie expresses the hope that the United States will adopt retaliatory measures, as the policy of the German government is manifestly ar bitrary and not honest. Minister Sargent’s Statement Concerning Trichina at Tilsit. Washington, May 3.—Mr. Sargent writes to the Department of State from Berlin, un der date of April 13: “In consequence of the reports published in the continental press that an alarming outbreak of trichiniasis, caused by eating American pork, had occur red among the garrison at Tilsit, Germany, I instructed the nearest consular officer to make investigation and report facts. The published statements were positive as to the source of the disease, and stated that thirteen deaths had already occurred. On examina tion it was found that fourteen cases of trich inas is had occurred among the soldiers of the garrison at Tilsit, all very slight, and all the persons attacked had been restored to health. The meat which produced the disease was not issued to the soldiers in their garrison rations, and be yond that there was no evidence as to its origin. The general surgeon of the First army corps and the mayor of Tilsit said it was impossible, to obtain any proof as to whether the pork was of native or of foreign origin. All that was known was that the soldiers attacked had obtained the meat out side of the garrison, and probably from their relatives in the town. It is probable the meat was the native raw product so largely consumed among the lower classes in Ger many.” _____ BEYOND OUR PHILOSOPHY. Strange Experiences Related by Bishop Bow man— Phenomena Unexplained by Physi cal Laws. St. Louis Republican. In conversation with a Republican reporter yesterday afternoon. Bishop Bowman said: “I am not a believer in modern spiritual ism, and do not believe that spirits upset chairs and move tables, but I can say that I have never been able to account for many re markable experiences I have had during my life under different circumstances. We are much nearer the spirit world than we think. Ferhaps, and the spirits of the departed dead, believe, have a certain inlluence over our minds. “When voyaging on the Red sea I made it a practice to pray every night and morn ing for my wife, from whom I was absent and who at the time was an invalid. One evening I knelt down as usual and tried to pray for her, but found I could not do it. This worried me very much, but I attributed iny incapacity to pray for her to nervousness, as i had preached a sermon to the passengers onboard that afternoon. On the following morning I again tried to pray for Mrs. Bow man, experiencing the same difficulty that prevented me from accomplishing my pur pose on the evening previous. I wondered what had happened. Was I losing my senses? At length the thought occurred to me: ‘Your wife may be dead.’ But this I considered improbable, as I had received a letter a few days before stating that she was much better than she had been for a long time. HoweveY, I was anxious to reach a point where I could expect to receive addi tional tidings relative to her condition. Finally, on my arrival at Rome, I found a letter awaiting me, conveying the news that Mrs. Bowman was dead and buried. She had died on the same evening that I found myself unable to pray for her while voyag ing over the Rod sea. This experience I was never able to account for, yet I shall never forgot it. “About the same time my daughter had another extraordinary experience, but it was not similar to mine. “When in Purls she would shut her eyes and could then sOe her mother’s face dis tinctly. On the evening of her mother’s death she attempted to do this, and was so terrified at not seeing the fuce as usual that she ran out of the room into another apartment, She felt that some thing had happened, but her friends told her that her fears were all imaginary. Sub sequently she received news that her mother had died about the time she found it impos sible to see her face with her e>esclosed. In this house [referring to his residence, where the conversasion took place], about this time last year, I was lying sick, at the point of death, the physicians being unable to predict whether I would live or die. Then I had some very happy visions, as I stated in a ser mon delivered recently in the Music Hall at Boston.” These visions were published a short time ago in the Republican. In them the Bishop was transported to the threshold of the spirit world, where he saw and conversed with the spirit of his deceased daughter, who told him his wife was waiting for him in heaven. Mimical Criticism in Illinois. Marshall Messenger. The climax of glory was reached when Miss. May McEwan, the prirna donna, made her appearance on the stage. She was greeted with uproarious applause. She rendered three or four pieces, being encored each time. To say she pleased and delighted every listener don’t express the proper sentiment. To say she captivated, enraptured, over whelmed the entire audience with the sweet est notes that ever fell from mortal tongue since the time when the morning stars sang together, is but faintly telling the truth. Her voice is strong, with ease reaching the highest note, and descending to a note so low there is nothing between it and silence. No bird, no instrument of music, can approximate to the sweet ness of her voice. In person she is pretty, and her beauty is enhanced when singing. Unlike some singers, there is no contortion of countenance while reaching a lofty strain, or touching a difficult note; but, on the contrary, her head, like Nillson’s, is turned a little to one side, a sweet enraptur ing smile pervading her captivating face—in a word, she is one of the favored few. We have heard many of the prime donne, but she eclipses them all. Sne don’t cover her words up with unearthly operatic strains; her notes are sweet, her words plain. We will give fifty cents to hear her sing one song at any time, and go hungry for one day after. Those who can have the opportunity of hear ing this favored bird of song are fortunate. If she can so captivate a married man of sixty, how is it with the susceptible single men of twenty-five? We say come again.” The Tariff and Prices. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I cannot understand how you, together with very many others who in writing and speaking upon the tariff question, say that a reduction in the tariff duties relieves the country of millions of dollars of taxation. Os course, if you mean that that portion of the tariff bill of last winter that reduced and repealed many of our internal revenue taxes, why, your position is plain enough. But from a careful reading of your paper almost daily, I can’t think this is what you mean. But to mean that a reduction in the tariff duty will make goods cheaper to the con sumer in the long run is giving away the whole doctrine of protection, and is so con trary to all results that have flown from former reductions in our tariffs that I cannot help but wonder how you are led into the error, as it seems to me, of saying or imply ing that the tariff duties impose a tax upon the people. lam not one of those who believed that the tariff of 18(11 needed much revision or attention. The mode of levying the duties on some articles, and in simplifying things somewhat, might have been expedient, but I was opposed to reducing the duty on any im portant article that we both manufacture and import. If you believe that the reduction of the duty on sugar, for instance, is going to per manently reduce the price of that article to the consumer, why, then, you believe ex actly what the free traders and the tariff-for revenue-only people believe. 1 don’t believe in this mode of treating the question of pro tection. I cannot understand it at all when treated in this way. I would like you. or anyone, to state what manufactured articles that we both import and manufacture are not cheaper to-day than before the act of 1861 wei\t into operation. Please name the goods and state the prices both before the war and now. If there are no such articles to be found, will you please show how the people are taxed by a tariff. It seems to me you will be driven by this reasoning to the assump tion and assertion of the free traders and tariff-for-re venue people, that but for the .tariffgoods would be cheaper than they now are.

4 THE DAILJOURNAL. 15Y JNO. C. NEW SON. For Rates of Subscription, etc., see Sixth Pacre. FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1883. The Superior Court of Kentucky has de cided that a wife can recover the moneys lost by her husband at poker. This is a point for the better halves of the gentlemen gamblers. “I am filled with Holy Ghost powder, and it will explode on somebody,” cried one of the female soldiers of the Syracuse Salvation Army the other day. “This doesn’t sound much like Holy Ghost religion,” suggests the theological editor of the Buffalo Express. It sounds like the blasphemous drivel which is characteristic of all the utterances ot these disgusting cranks. If it be true that the Gougar-Mandler case was the influence which increased the Democratic majority in Lafayette, it is to the last degree discreditable to the people of that city. The idea of grown-up, sensible people voting away responsible offices upon Buch premises as were involved in that trial is almost beyond belief. We do not believe it, notwithstanding the assertions of certain Democratic newspapers. Congressman John E. Lamb ridicules the idea of civil-service reform, and says he only fenows one Democrat in Indiana who favors it, and that it ‘‘would be political suicide for any Hoosier statesman on the Democratic •jidc to advocate it” Here is a nice state ment, which we commend to the earnest at tention of those who think reform in the civil service can best be advanced b} r de feating the Republican party with the Dem ocratic. Secretary of State Myers has expressed liimself favorably to Mr. McDonald for the presidency, and in the same breath names Mr. Hendricks for Governor. We imagine we see Hendricks making the canvass for Governor in order to help McDonald into the presidential chair. We are greatly afraid that Captain Myers’s mind has not fully cleared up since the time it wa9 thrown into confusion at Daleville, where he could not tell what in the seething sulphur Kilgore meant. In the days before our cotton manufactures were developed our working women re ceived an average of fifty cents per week, and this would buy one yard of coarse imported “nankeen” cotton cloth. To-day the same labor commands $3 per week, aud the money will buy thirty-six yards of good cotton sheet ing. The introduction of improved machin ery and methods, under the encouragement of a protective tariff, seems to have worked some good to the poorer classes. And this is not an isolated instance of the kind. A farmer in lowa named Samuel Peebles has thought out the tariff question in the ap pended propositions: ‘‘A tariff for revenue only, if it means any thing, implies the following effect: ‘‘A general reduction of the existing du ties on imports. “To be followed by a larger importation of foreign-made fabrics. “To be followed by a falling off in the de mand for those made at home. “To be followed by the closing of American work-shops. “To be followed b\ r a relatively greater number of men engaged in agriculture. “To be followed bv an increase in the sup ply of farm products, with no corresponding increase in the demand. “To be followed by a reduction of the farmer’s profits. “I, for one, do not like it.” We commend this statement of the case to the farmers of Indiana. On Tuesday night the City Council of Dan ville, 111., fixed the yearly saloon licenses at SGOO. The next day all the saloon-keepers locked their doors and declared they could not pay. They then prepared to hear from an outraged populace deprived of its liquor. They heard from the people right away, but in a manner slightly at variance from what they expected. A large number of citizens signed a call for a public meeting for the purpose of urging the Council to raise the license to SI,OOO, when the saloon men yield ed, and agreed to pay the SOOO. The moral to this is that the saloons of Indianapolis would yield a much larger revenue w’ere it insisted on, and the city and the liquor traffic would both be the better for it. The city would receive more mojiey, and the saloons that kept open would be in number mch as could be readily under police sur veillance. In endeavoring to show’ the attitude of the Democratic party on the tariff question from the beginning of that party’s history, the New York World says: “The first Democratic platform was adopted by the party, then called the ‘Republican.’ as distinguished from the Federalist party, in a Congressional caucus at Philadelphia in 18K>, the year in which Jefferson was first elected to the presidency. It demands: ‘G. Free commerce with all nations, political connection with none, and little or no diplo matic establishment.’ Despite this, the first Democratic Presi dent, Thomas Jefferson, elected on that plat form, said in his second message to Congress: “To cultivate peace, and maintain com merce and navigation in all their lawful en terprises, to foster our fisheries, as nurseries tf navigation and for the nurture of man, and to protect the manufactures adapted to our circumstances—these are the land-murks by which we are to guide ourselves.” But the idea of protection did not orig inate from Jeffersen. The second act passed by the first Congress bad the following pre amble: “Whereas, It is necessary for the support of government, for the discharge of the debts of the United .States, and for the encourage ment und protection of manufactures, that duties be laid on goods, wares and merchan jise imported. Be it enacted,” etc. In President Madison’s special message of May 23, 1809, may be found the following paragraph: “It will be worthy at the same time of their [Congress] just and provident care to make such alterations in the laws as will especially protect and foster the several branches of manufacture.” The World, for some reason, ignores all this, and skips from 1800 to 183 G. Andrew Jackson, second only in the more intelligent Democratic hearts to Jefferson, in his second annual message as President, Dec. 7, 1830, said: “The States have delegated their whole au thority over imports to the federal govern ment without limitation or restriction, sav ing the very inconsiderable restriction relat ing to their inspection laws. This authority having thus entirely passed from the States, the right to exercise it for the purpose ot protection does not exist in them; and, con sequently, if it be not possessed by the general government, it must be extinct. Our political sys tem would thus present the anomaly of a people stripped of this right to foster their own industry and to counteract the most selfish and destructive policy wnich might be adopted by foreign nations. In this conclusion I am confirmed as well by the opinions of Presidents Washington, Jef ferson. Madison and Monroe, who have each repeatedly recommended the exercise of this right under the constitution, as by the uni form practice of Congress, the continued ac quiescence of the States, and the general un derstanding of the people.” If the World wants to quote genuine Dem ocratic protective-tariff doctrine, it can find it in liberal quantities from the easiest days. The batch given above is but a sample. THE INDIANAPOLIS HOG. Pending the recent contest for the judge ship of the United States District Court the everlasting question of “location” was made to do more than its usual share of duty. Newspapers and correspondents, both in the State and out of it, rung the changes upon the cry that “Indianapolis had everything,” and, like the daughters of the horse-leech, constantly cried for more. This has been the staple talk of many people for years, and some sincere and honest folks have been misled by the persistence with which the assertion lias been made and maintained until they believe there is some truth in it. The Terre Haute Express and the Richmond Palladium are two of the beat and most influential papers which have caught up the echo of this statement within the past few days, but wre are certain that the editors of these papers will hasten to do the capital of the State at least justice when the facts are made known. We pro pose to examine this question for a few moments from the Republican side, both as to national and State politics, and see what warrant there is for the slurs made against, and jealousy constantly ex hibited of, Indianapolis. Beginning with the United States Court: Judge Huntington was of Terre Haute, if we are correctly in formed, Albert S. White was of Lafayette, Caleb B. Smith of Connersville, David McDonald was appointed from Indianapolis, and Walter Q. Gresham is ot New Albany, and was appointed trom that city, and all his life has been identified with that section of the State. The few years Judge McDonald held the bench are all that can be credited to Indianapolis. The clerkship of the court in later years w T asheldby John D. Howland, and for a short time by Mr. W. P. Fishback, both of Indianapolis. Mr. Noble C. Butler, the present clerk, was appointed from New Albany, by Judge Gresham, who was his law partner, and of course knew his eminent fitness for the place he so worthily and acceptably fills. The district attorneys since 1861 have been John Hanna, of Greeucastle; Thomas M. Browne, of Winchester; Nelson Trussler, of Connersville; and Charles I. Holstein, who may be credited to Indianapolis, though he is so much identified with Madison as to be claimed by the papers of that city as a Madi son man. The United States marshals have been General Ben. Spooner, of Lawrence burg; Colonel W. W. Dudley, of Richmond; and General R. S. Foster, of Indianapolis. Certainly in this record there is not so much of Indianapolis as to cause heart-burning on the part of any other section of the State. In national administrations, Schuyler Colfax, of South Bend, has been Speaker of the House of Representatives and Vice president. Caleb B. Smith, of Connersville; John P. Usher, of Terre Haute; Hugh Mc- Culloch, of Fort Wayne; James N. Tyner, of Peru; Richard W. Thompson, of Terre Haute; and Walter Q. Gresham, of New Al bany, have been in the cabinets of the several Republican Presidents. Thomas J. Brady, of Muncie, was second assistant Postmaster-general. Thomas H. Nelson, of Terre Haute, has been minister to Chili and to Mexico; John W. Foster, of Evansville, to Mexico, Russia and Spain; Godlove S. Orth, of Lafayette, to Austria; James F. Wilson, of Crawfordsville, to Ven ezuela; Thomas N. Stillwell, of Anderson, to Venezuela; General Alvin P. Hovey, of Mt. Vernon, to Peru; General Lew. Wallace, of Crawfordsville, to Turkey; William Williams, of Warsaw, to Montevideo. In the consular service there have been Mr. Beardsley, of Elkhart county, consul to Egypt; Isaac Jenk inson, of Fort Wayne, now of Richmond, consul to Glasgow; John A. Bridgelar.d, of Richmond, consul to Havre; John B. Glover, of Bedford, consul to Havre; Benjamin S. Parker, of Newcastle, consul to Sherbrooke; Emory P. Beauchamp, of Terre Haute, con sul to Cologne and to St. Galle; Mr. Bullock, of Rockport, consul to Cologne; Thomas J. Brady, of Muncie, consul to St. Thomas; Charles Kalilo, of Logansport, consul to Sidney. In the Territorial service there have been General Tom Bennett, of Richmond, Gov ernor of Idaho; John A. Burbank, of Center ville, Governor of Dakota; General Nathan Kimball, of Martin county, and General Sol. Meredith, of Cambridge City, jrarveyors general; while James P. Luse, of Lafayette; i-XAJJ IXI O U.JL*LJk. J*. A. W. DeLong, of Huntington; George W. j Friedley, of Bedford, and Mr. Adkinson, of Lawrenceburg, have been appointed regis ters and recorders. Louis Kimmel, of La fayette, is at Alaska. George B. Williams, of j Lafayette, was deputy-commissioner of internal revenue; William T. Otto was assistant Secretary of the Interior and is now Reporter of the Supreme Court. Gen eral William McKee Dunn, of Madison, is Judge Advocate-general. Robert S. Taylor, of Fort Wayne, is a member of the Missis sippi River Commission. But it is not our intention to compile an official register of gentlemen who have held and honored positions in the national ad ministration, appointed from Indiana. Those we have named come to us on the spur of the moment from memory, and are adduced simp ly to show the utter falsity of the charge of “hoggish ness” on the part of Indian apolis. The capital city of the State, so far as we can recall, has never had a member of the cabinet, nor a leading position in the diplomatic service, either as minister or consul. We remember Professor John Young, as consul to Belfast, Ireland, and there have been, doubt less, others; but if there are or have been, they are but drops in the showers of patronage that have refreshed the State. What is the portion of Indianapolis at present, so far as national affairs are concerned? The member of the cabinet is from New Albany; the Commis sioner and Deputy Commissioner of Pensions are from Richmond; the special examiner is a New Albany or Terre Haute man, and never resided in this city until his election as Secretary of State compelled him to make his home here. Mr. Alexander, the Fifth Auditor, is an Indianapolis man, but was so recently of Fort Wayne as to make it fair for the honors to be divided. Senator Harrison is an Indianapolis man, but certainly it was not Indianapolis’s “hoggishness” that secured the place for him. He accepted the nomina tion for Governor in 1876 against his will, and when the Legislature had the power, as trustees of the people of the whole State, it unanimously and freely gave him the sena t ora hip. Henry S. Lane was from Craw fordsville. Senator Morton was from Center ville, and entered public life from Wayne county. Daniel D. Pratt was from Logans port. The national bank examiner, Dr. A. J. Hay, is from Charlestown, Clarke county. Indianapolis has an assistant Secretary of the Treasury. This resume is, of course, very imperfect, and there may be errors in it; but it is substantially correct, and will serve as a source of reflection to those who make “the Indianapolis hog” the staple of their talk whenever an office is to be filled. In Republican State politics the same con dition of things is to be noted. Indianapolis never had a Governor until the present one. It never had a Lieutenant-governor. It never had a Secretary of State. It never had an Auditor of State. It never had a Treas urer of State. It never had an Attorney general. It never had a clerk of the Su preme Court, except Jonathan W. Gordon, by appointment for a time. It has had blit two Supreme Court judges. We ap prehend muck the same thing might be said, so far as the Democratic party is concerned, although there lias been less of the canting and hypocritical talk about “an Indianapolis ring” in that party than among Republicans, and th 6 mere fact of citizenship in Indianapolis has not been regarded by the Democracy as a necessary disqualification for election or appointment to office. Indianapolis is the capital of the State. Its population is cos mopolitan, if we may use that word to indi cate that it has drawn from every quarter of Indiana for the men who make up its professional ranks, its business men, its solid and substantial citizens of all classes. We are proud of the great Hoosier State, its record and its possibilities, and we can see no reason why there should not be the heartiest reciprocity on the part of every Indianian, live where he may, be his local pride never so strong. Certainly there has been enough of this senseless tind baseless charge against Indianapolis. In all kindness of spirit, but with a hunger for facts, we ask the critics of Indianapolis to come for ward and file a bill of particulars. Let us know when, where, and under what circum stances, the capital city of the State has either asked for or been given more than its due share in the distribution of official favors and responsibilities. BROWNING EXPLAINED. A bewildered reader of the Journal writes from New York asking that someone will kindly give a translation of Robert Brown ing’s poem entitled “Adam, I,ilithand Eve,” which appeared in Saturday’s issue. Other subscribers nearer at hand make similar re quests. Asa rule, the time spent in explain ing poetry is time lost. Nothing is left of much of it after explanation, and in other cases madness lies near every attempt to un derstand the hidden meaning. In this in stance, however, where so many readers are rendered sleepless, it is no more than right that something should be done for their relief. No map or fcey accompanied tbe copy of the poem in question, a fact which lias ren dered a solution of the puzzle difficult, tbe more so as the gentleman to whom such mat ters are usually referred is now engaged in editing a base-ball and dramatic tournament in a neighboring city. Ail the editors, with one exception, being religious men, none of them had any knowledge of Lilith, though they had heard of Adam and Eve. The exception being approached cautiously. said "anyone with an atom of sense should know Lilith was Adam’s first wife; that this was j a historical fact, or at all events a tradition, not based, however, upon anything in Gen- j esis. This much being settled, the telegraph editor was asked his opinion as to the true meaning of the first stanza, which reads as foliows: “One day it thundered and lightened, Two women, fairly frightened, Sauk to their knees, transformed, transfixed, At the feet of the man who eat betwixt. And ‘Mercy!’ cried each—‘lf I tell the truth Os a passage in my youth!’ In the opinion of this critic, if Eve and Lilith had taken the trouble to look at the weather report they would have known there would not be much of a shower, and would have been saved the mortification of having given themselves away uselessly. The literary editor believed that Lilith, who is mentioned as “This” in the next line, must be of Irish descent, and that her remark in reality was, “D’ye moind the morning, me boy?” The railroad editor thought if “That,” by which term Eve is designated, was so anxious to get away before the priest came, she should have taken the first lightning express which rolled through. In the last stanza— “lt oeased to lighten and thunder, Up started both in wonder, Looked round and saw that the sky was clear. Then laughed, ‘Confess you believed us dear!’ *1 saw through the joke!' the man replied. They reseated themselves beside.” Some disagreement was had about this, but the sense of the assembled editors was that Mr. Browning must have intended the whole poem as a slur upon mankind gener ally as represented by Adam. He had been deceived for years by two women, one of whom said she hated him, when she was re ally his loving slave; by the other who un locked hell’s gate when she married him. He had never found out the fraud practiced upon him, and when they were driven to con fess and then pretended it was a joke, he hastily assured them that he had seen through it all the time. Rather than appear stupid where a joke might be concealed Adam lost his opportunity for instituting divorce proceedings. The Journal, as has been often stated, is not responsible for the eccentric utterances of the poets which creep into its columns, and does not offer the foregoing explanation as decisive. If it is not satisfactory the trans lation will be withdrawn, and if any one is libeled an apology will be tendered. *We trust, however, that our anxious readers can now rest of nights, and for the next week or two we promise not to print any hard poems. We shall rely upon the tender and perennial spring species. Tiie total eclipse of the sun occurs on Sunday next. May 6. As is already known, it will uot be visible In its totality to any inhabited portion of the globe. It begins in latitude 35° south, and in longitude 164° west from Greenwich, or about 400 miles east of the southeastern point of Aus tralia and sweeps in the shape of a bow north east to the south of the Fiji aud Friendly islands, leaving the Hervey group and the Society islands on its right. It reaches its northern point just above tbe Marquesas, and theuoe runs southeast through unbroken sea to a point about 600 miles from the coast of Peru. It happens, however, that along this path, so evasive of terra firrua, there are a couple of rocks in the ocean large enough for a hut and a telescope. One of these rocks is Caroline Island—not to be confounded with the Caroliue islands of the Microueßian group, some 2,000 miles distant— and the other Is called Flint island. They are not to be found on any ordinary atlas. They lie, both of them, in longitude 150°, nearly, from Greenwich. One is 9° 40', and the other is 11° 30' south of the equator, to the westward of the Marquesas. On the northern most of these rooks the duration of totality will be five minutes and twenty seoonds; on tbe southernmost thirteen seconds longer. The unusual duration of tne totality of ocoultation renders this eclipse of great value to scientists, as it may enable them better to observe the phenomena already familiar, to increase the ac curacy of the various calculations and to con firm or disprove the presence of an intra-Mer curial planet. The party dispatched by the British Royal Astronomical Booiety and the American party are stationed on Caroline island, while the French expedition occupies Flint island. The expeditions will hardly be heard from at all before a month. In Georgia, the other day, a collector who fol lowed a man on a Ashing excursion and pre sented his bill while the debtor was watching for n bite, was promptly shot down. The act was held to be justifiable homicide. Iu Stock ton, Cal., a collector who dunned a citizen oftener than pleased that person was caned witliiu aa inch or his life. In the sunny South and wild West the life of a collector is not a happy one. Governor Butler, of Massachusetts, is anx ious to sell his pleasure yacht, and offers it as a bargain at $25,000. Perhaps the Governor is so moved by the Tewksbury disclosures that he meaiis to sell all he has and give the prooeeds to the poor. “Sixty bronze hatchets have been found im bedded in the ground only one metre deep at Salez (Canton of Bt.

The Queen of Greene will, it is said, attend the Czar's coronation incognito. If by this means annihilation by concealed bombs can be avoided, it might be as well for the Czar to go incognito, tOO. _ The Moon and Planets for May. Written for the Indianapolis Journal. The planet Jupiter now graces the western sky with more brilliancy titan any other star in that region. By viewing this giant planet with a spy glass of model ate size we see his four moons like so many small stars—some! lines two on each side ot the planet and sometimes all four ofl the same side. A magnifying power of 30 or so will show one or two'dark stripes or “belts” across the disk of Jupiter; and a high power on a tele scope, four or five inches aperture, makes this planet look larger than the full moon, while his satellites appear like delicate little moons. The great red spot, so prominent three or four years ago, has nearly or quite disappeared. The right ascension of this planet Is now about (5 hours, and its declination 23 degrees north. It crosses the meridian soon after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and sets seven and a half hours later—in the same point of the horizon where the sun sets In the longest days. Tiio length of time betweon tho rising and southing of a heavenly body being the same as from southing to setting, Jupiter now r.Res about seven and a half hours before 3 P. m. or about half past 7 in the morn ing. Tho two stars a little southeast of Jupiter lire Eta and Mu in Gemini. The planet will pass to the north of Eta on the 14th, aud about as near Mu on the 23d. On June 23 and 25, the sun will pass just north of those two stars. Saturn, the ring planet, is more than two hours west of Jupiter, ami too near the horizon to be seen easily. It will be in conjunction with the sun May 20, and a fine morning star in July. When favorably situated for observation with a telescope this planet affords the prettiest sight of any of the heavenly bodies. Urauus is very near tho eastern boundary of Leo; about five degrees nearly west of the star Beta in Virgo. The planet will pass very close to this star in October. Uranus is just visible to the naked eye—like a sixth magnitude star— when the moon is absent. With a magnifying power of 100 it presents a fine little disk. Mercury is also an evening star, and may be seeu very easily about the middle of the month nearly two hours northwest of Jupiter. It is much further north at this elongation than it generally is, which makes it easier to find and to be visible longer than common. Indeed, it can be seen with the naked eye about every clear evening of the mouth—something uncommon for Mercury. Those who wish to observe this delicate planet should make use of so favorable an opportunity, as it will not occur again soon. Many persons havo been familiar with Venus as a morning star nearly ever since tho transit, in December. It is now moving toward tho sun, and will be in conjunction Sept. 20. This planet and Mars will be in conjunction May 10, when Venus will be nearly one degree south ot Mars, and much the brighter of the two. But Mars will increase in brightness, while Venus will di minish. Tbe moon is now having much to do in getting up an interest in celestial observation. On Sun day, the 6th iust., she will pass between the earth aud the sun at 5 o’clock in the evening, causing one of the greatest solar eclipses that ever ooours. The sun will be entirely hid about six minutes, nearly three times as loug as itoom monly is in a total eclipse. This gives a much better opportunity than common to observe the attending phenomena. It seems a misfortune, however, that this Interesting occasion can be witnessed only in the South Pacific ocean. But several enterprising astronomers have gone there to see and learn what they can. If the moon could have got a fraotiou of a degree farther north before coming up with the sun tbe show might have been in the North Pacific and United States, as well as where it is. But the heavenly bodies do not change their courses to acoommodate the peo ple. We must roooncile, or adapt, ourselves to the unchanging laws of creation. In four hours after the eclipse the moon will pass Neptune. But nobody can see them so near the sun. The next evening the moon will pass over and oocult Saturn again. The two bodies will be near the horizon,and hardly visible to the naked eye. If the sky is clear they can be viewed with a telescope before dark. Still two days later (7 r. M. of 9th), our satellite will appear near Jupiter, aud a week later in the neighborhood of Uranus. The first quarter will occur m the evening of the 13th; a very good time to view lunar scenery through a telescope. And still another show of much in terest comes off (if the sky be clear) on the even ing of the 21st. About 10 o’clock, tbe moon will hide the flue double star, Beta Boorpii. About 11:30, the stars will reappear at tue moon’s western edge. But, as Luna comes near the star, her flood of light will probably hide it to natural vision, so that a small glass may be required to see the ocoultation. And the two stars being very close together, must be magnified with a good-sized telescope to see them separated. Looking over to the southwest we see the dog star, which astronomers call Sirius. The bright star Capella is north of Jupiter, about one-third the way to the north star, South of Jupiter, about one-third to 81rlus and below a line Joining them, we meet Betelgeuse, the brightest star in the Orion. Then above, form ing a large triangle with Betelgeuse and Birius, we find Prooyon in Canis Minor, the Little Dog. Another good-sized triangle is formed by Pro evon, Jupiter aud the twin stars Castor and Pollux above. The delicate Beehive cluster be tween two little stars in Cancer, is nearly half way from Castor, the north twin, to the Sickle, over east. The white star in the south end of the Sickle is Regulus. That bright star away northeast is Alpa Lyr®. Arcturus is well up in the eastern sky, and Regulus, in the Sickle, is a little west of the meridian, and rather more than naif way from Arcturus to Prooyon. Spioa, or Alpha Virginia, is the name of that pretty star an hour or so east of the meridian and half way from horizon to zenith. Tho oblong square of four stars nearly west of it form the outlines of Corvus. W. Dawson. SPICELAND, May 3. ABOUT PEOPLE. Mr. and Mrs. Dkvilbliss, of Baltimore, have applied for a divorce.

A rage for autographs is the latest caprice of fashionable Paris, and anybody who makes any pretensions to be included in good society, must have something adorned with the signature of some great man of the day.

There is living In Munich the daughter of Palm, the bookseller of Nurenberg, who printed a pamphlet against Napoleon I, and was relent lessly shot by him in consequence.

A young lady from New Haven recently ap plied in Now York for a position as nursery gov erness.

She was to have no “outs,” and if upon trial she suited she might receive as much as sl6 a month, The Boston Courier says that In that city re cently two gentlemen were overheard discussing a threat made by a Washington crank to assassi nate Governor Butler on his last visit to the na tional capital. “It would have saved us a good deal If he had done it,” the first speaker remark ed, grimly. “Oh, I’m glad he did not,” was the significantly ambiguous retort; “it would be a lasting disgrace to Massachusetts to have him die outside the State.” When the daughter of Lady Gordon eloped It became necessary to apprise her mother of the fact. Her daughter had run away with a young lord with whom she had been dancing at a bail given by the Duke of Devonshire. “Oh! heav ens,” cried the poor mother, “on such a cold night, too, and without her flannel petticoat! And to think that it is all my fault, because I wanted to set off the delicacy of her shape to catch the Duke of Bedford.” Jaes Carey, the informer on tlie Plicenix Bark murderers, is thus described: Anybody who expects a Fenian Informer to be a man of necessarily pale and sallow complexion, with shruuken form and wizened features, and a gen eraly ill-conditioned appearance about him, de noting that he is a prey to remorse and nervous terrors, would be extremely surprised to see the individual to Whom our knowledge of the Phoenix Park murderers is ohiefly owing, as he lolled comfortably enough in the witness’ chair to-day and yesterday.

He regards the beauty of Yosemite as peerless, but says it could be judiciously improved by the expenditure of some money by the Btate. He cannot understand why the people of the State do not make liberal ap propriation for the maintenance of this great natural park whereby the number of visitors from abroad could be increased from two thou* sand to twenty thousand. Mrs. Lowell, wife of the American minister to Euglaud, is in very delicate health, and was not able to go to court last season. This year, however, she resolved to run the risk of attend ing the first drawing-room, but was obliged to apply for a dispensation in some small matter of costume. The Queen, besides assenting to Mrs. Lowell’s request, sent a private message that she was on no account obliged to come to the drawing-room unless she received the permis sion of her medical advisers, and that., if they could uot sanction her attendance at the paluoe, her Majesty would have much pleasure in pay ing her a visit at the legation. Mrs. Lowell was so much pleased at tho Queen’s friendly sym pathy that, m order to testify her appreciation she attended both drawing-rooms. The growing popularity of the royai game of whist as asocial amusemeut serves to recall the saying of Charles James Fox, that there was but one greater pleasure in life than losing at whist, and that was—winning; and recalls also the keener wit of a Canadian lover of whist and everything English. Colonel Ormond, a retired officer in the Eugllsh army, had long been noted for a peoularly robust but penetrating profanity, and also for the rat-terrier tenacity with whloh he contended in whist for the odd trick. After playing his favorate game sixty years for about eight nights in the week, it is Dot strange that he died. “Colonel Ormand is dead,” said Mr, Wetmore, the morning after the gallant Briton's demise. “AM 1 said Mr. Alinon. “Yes,” said Wetmore, “he’ll not be troubled any more about the odd trick.” “No,” said Alrnou, but he’ll have more trouble about the last trump!” THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

THE JOHNSON SCANDAL. Hie Unhappy Domestic Relations of the Husband and Wife. she tetters on Which the Damage Suit Is Based—Hints that Blackmail Is the Object. New York Times. During Mr. Johnson’s absence in Australia his wife boarded at the Re in sen House, a fashionable private hotel, at Clinton and Remsen streets, Brooklyn. Mr. Johnson had been but a short time at home when he heard unpleasant rumors about his wife and Mr. Higley. The latter had been intimate with the Johnsons for about nine years. While Johnson was in Australia Higley was a fre quent visitor at the Remsen House, and paid Mrs. Johnson a great deal of attention. Scandal, gossip, and some facts of a positive character which he claimed to possess in re lation to the intimacy between Mrs. Johnson and Higley induced Mr. Johnson to employ the services of two private detectives. He had, before an open rupture occurred, accused his wife of disregard for him, and their constant quar rels became a subject of talk among the oth er boarders. Johnson’s detectives, in order the better to observe Mrs. Johnson, engaged board at the Remsen House. On the 16tli of April Johnson represented to his wife that he was going to Saratoga for a few days. She accompanied him to the Grand Central sta tion. He bid her good-bye in the waiting room, and then went to take the train, but managed to leave the station by another en trance. Two detectives watched Mrs. John son’s movements. She went, it is said, di rectly to the telegraph office and sent the following dispatch: April 16. To 11. A. Higley, Produce Exchange. Left on 4 o’olock train—Grand Central. I re main up town. j. Mrs. Johnson next went to a hair-dresser’s, and after having her hair dressed went to the Grand Central Hotel, where she waited an hour. She then returned to Brooklyn alone. Two days later Johnson suddenly re turned from his mythical trip to Saratoga. He found his wife in bed, and she, it is said, attempted to hastily conceal a letter of which the following is, according to Johnson, a copy: April 19. Mr. Conklin can tell you all. I know what the detectives are working. The only time I have •eeu the man; to-day he was here. There is nothing new from him. It is not my opinion he has iet go of the case. I thought afterward last evening that I had talked to you as though I had Obtained a vast qinotmt of information from him. I got mol'6 than half from Mrs Gloucester (the oolm'ea landlady of the Keinsen House) who is confined to her bed with congested lungs, but who keeps up with most that goes on in the house and tells me everything. It will be a great trial to me to break up m.v little home before my summer walks or recreations. I don’t think it prudent to leave now or change. It would do me great Injury, and bo made a great handle by the Uuion. This unpleasant duty will be over in a week or two. I have gone through them be fore on other lines, and understand pretty well what Mr. J. will do. They cannot make out a case. The detective showed me a note in Mr. Conklin's presence, which Mr. J. wrote Monday, saying: “Should they go to a house of assigna tion keep close watch, but don’t speak to them.” I think I have found out from time to time all they do know aud think they know, and have advised you. To-day I had the other bed taken from my room, and inclose copy of letter I send to-morrow to Mr. J. in reply to telegram reoeived last night. I received a “sweet” letter from him this morning. Yes, he is caving in. I would give anything to just have a talk with you about going to Europe. Are you olean out of the notion? We will in a day or two have him where we can do almost as we please with him. I think I can readily see that our seeing each other is wound up if we do not go. You say nothing of it in your note received by Mr. Conklin this evening. I cannot express the awful dread I have of the summer here alone. I only see one of two steps for mo to take—for us to go abroad as talked of and tide the matter over, or me to proceed to separation and be dogged and harassed the rest of existence. I am firm that nothing short of an entire separa tion or a full, square understanding in the pres ence of both of us, and that our friendship is not to be molested with, will make me on terms with him. To remain here with you out of the country and to have to meet all I shall have to is simply dreadful. The difficulties of the past week have been no more trying to me than what I went through at Ooean Grove. That was quite ns bad. I wonder that I have as vet kept as well in health under it as I have. Must I ooiue to church Bundayf Mr. J. is to return to Brook lyn on Monday or Tuesday, so the detective saj's. After receiving this letter from him of course I cannot tell whether he will come here or not. Don’t think ho will at first. If you do think you can swallow going to Europe, better tele graph him that “cannot manage before teeing him,” so that he can have opportunity for re traction before committing ourselves to friend liness again. lam pretty sure he will want to make up. The letter had no address or signature, hut Johnson alleges that it was written to Hig ley. In securing the letter the husband used violence. At least his wife asserts that he did, and she visited Superintendent of Po lice Campbell to ascertain what redress she could obtain. She said she was in danger of her life. The troubles of the Johnsons first obtained publicity through the visit of Mrs. Johnson to Superintendent Campbell, who directed her to go before a police magistrate if she had any complaint to make. This course, however, she declined to adopt, al though she declared that her husband had several times made very exciting scenes in the Remsen House. On one occasion he quarreled in the parlors of the hotel with one of the private detectives he had hired to watch Mrs. Johnson, and the officer had drawn his pistol to defend himself. Mrs. Johnson’s friends say that the detective de nounced Johnson and used the words, “You brought me here to forward your blackmail ing schemes, but I will be no*party to them.” Mrs. Johnson left her husband a* week ago. The following letters were sent by Mrs. John son to her husband: Rembbn house, Brooklyn, April 20. I Bond by express your box as you telegraphed /or, also the charts, canes, rugs, etc., which are, as far as known, all the articles of property be longing to you in my possession. I may as well now say tkut I have been entirely conscious of all your proceedings since you feigned such an affectionate parting from me on Monday last; that you were in the Itemscn House that night before I came back until late, and did not leave Brooklyn until Wednesday; also, of the other things you are having done. Mary C. Johnson. No. 132 Macon street, April 25, 1883. Carrie has reluctantly consented for you to come luto this house to-morrow (Thursday) morning, at. 9 o’clock, for one time, I will see you at that hour in the presence of others. Mary C. Johnson. To Eli Johnson, Kcniscu House Mrs. Johnson went to the house of a friend in Macon street after she left her husband, and before she took up her residence with her Bister in New York. That friendly feelings existed between Higley and the Johnsons as late as March 29. is evidenced by the follow ing letter: New York, March 29, 1883. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson: Dear Friends—l am glad to say to you that my health is better this morning—my cold seems to be passing away and rheumatic trouble better. Hope that this will find you both rested and well. I would like to hear the bell-ringers to-morrow evening, ami would like also to attend Plymouth praver-iboeting. Do the ringers perform Satur day evening for the Wayside Horn*? I would like to go with you some evening to hear them, and will go to-morrow or Saturday evening, as you think best, or is most agreeable to you. I would like to attend the circus Saturday r. m., find will invite you to that and to dinner after at One of the best hotels up town. No, I will ohonge that and say Delmonico’s Will it be convenient and agreeable? Maybe I will call on you on my way home this evening and arrange blatters. Yours, H. A. Hiolf.y. Mr. Higley has a wife and family, with whom he has always lived happily, and in business circles he has held a high reputa tion. He is about fifty years of age, tall and llnely formed. For many years he lias been a prominent member of Plymouth Church, and he has also been strongly identified with the temperance cause. Mrs. Johnson has also been a temperance worker of note. A short time ago she was president of the First Brooklyn Woman’s Temperance Union. She was married in 1850, and was then nineteen years of age. Like her husband, she is a na tive of Ohio. The Johnsons belonged to Dr. Cuyler’s church, but Mrs! Johnson removed to Beecher’s, and occupied a seat in Higley’s pew after her husband’s departure for Aus tralia. Mr. Johnson explains that the allu sion in the letter which he took from his wife to a European trip has reference to a proposal made by Higeley to join Mr. and Mrs. Johnson in a trip to Europe, The Mr. Conklin alluded to in the letter is said by Johnson to be a mutual friend. The Unbigned Letter—How Johnson Ob tained Possession of It. New York special. Eli Johnson described, to-day, the manner in which he got from his wife the letter which he supposes she intended to semi to j Mr. Higley. He said: “I came home suddenly, one morning, and followed the fireman up to ray wife’s room, j She was in bed. I threw off niv coat, and she. hearing the noise, looked round. ‘What j are you doing here? Get out, she said. I I refused to do so, and then I discovered the letter. My wife and I had a struggle for it. She finally gave it to me. During the strug gle she scratched my finger, and you can still see the marks ot her nails. I did not j strike her. I locked myself with her in the j room, and two policemen in uniform were summoned. When they came to the door I thought it was Higley. If it had been I would have broken his head with this cane. The policemen, finding that they bad no cause to interfere, withdrew, recommend ing us to settle our disputes by our selves. My wife was anxious to have Mr. Higley sent for, but I would not allow it.” Mrs. Johnson, after leaving the Remsen House, went to live with her sister, Mrs. Ladd, at 132 Macon street. She indignantly denies his accusations, and accuses him of cruel and heartless treatment. To a friend she said she did not believe he was right in his mind, and that for sometime she had feared that he might do something desper ate. Mr. Higley she had been acquainted i with for years, and she respected him as a friend. During the absence of her husband j Mr. Higley had transacted considerable busi ness for her, and the most of his visits to the i Remsen House were on business. She re ceived him, as she did other visitors, in her room, and she challenges anv one to prove that any act of impropriety had ever taken place. Under no circumstances would she ever live with her husband again, and al ready she was in consultation witka lawyer with a view to divorce proceedings. For nine years Mrs. Johnson was president of the First Women’s Christian Temperance Union, but at the last election of officers a few months ago she was defeated. She has con tinued in the organization, but she has taken no active part in the work. Private Detective Ford, who was employed by Mr. Johnson to shadow Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Higley, said to-day that he believed from the start that it was a case of black mail. Mr. Johnson told him on one occasion at the postoffice, he says, that there was plenty of money in it for four of them, mean ing himself (Ford), Mr. Johnson, Private Detective Elliott and Mr. Mitchell, a temper ance advocate. Johnson afterward accused him of being bought over by Mr. Higley, and when he said it was not so called him a liar and shook his fist in his face. He told John son it was a black-mailing scheme, and that he would not have any thing to do with it. Johnson was so violent, he said, that lie had to draw a revolver and threaten to put a hole in him. Mr. Ford says he never saw Mr. Higley but once. That was after his rupture with Mr. Johnson, and in response to a note addressed to him by Mr. Higley. In their conversation, Mr. Ford says, Mr, Higley asked him what he thought about the mat ter, and he replied that from the remarks Mr. Johnson had made to him it was a case of blackmail. He added that Mrs. Johnson was a very fine lady, but he thought Mr. Johnson was a crank. Mr. Ford suvs lie went into the case about two weeks ago. Mitchell hired him, and gave him a receipted bill for two weeks’ board in the Remsen House, where Mr. and Mrs. Johnson boarded. He was to be known as James Walker. He told Mitchell that lie was out of the business, but as it was an im portant case he would take hold of it and see what he could do with it. At Mr. Johnson’s request he followed him and Mrs. Johnson to the Grand Central Depot, and followed Mrs. Johnson back home. When he got back to his room he found Mrs. Johnson in his (Mr. Ford’s) room, It was on the morning after this that he met Mr. Johnson in the post office. Higley’* Emphatic Denial. Mr. Higley to-day expressed astonishment at the charges against him. “There is not a word of truth in the story,” he said. “The Johnsons and I had always been close friends, and I never dreamed that my con nection with them would be brought in question until yesterday. I had not the re motest idea that Mr. Johnson was jealous of me, and when I read his published statement I could hardly believe my eyes.” Mr. Higley’s son to-night, in his father’s absence, said: “I know ail about this matter from the beginning, and it is a clear case of an attempt at blackmail. Mr. Johnson of fered to divide with the detectives when he employed them, but my father was not to be frightened by threats. It is claimed that fora long time he carried a key to Mrs. Johnson s room in the Remsen House. The way it oc curred was this: On one occasion when he called at Mrs. Johnson's room the key was on the outside of the door, and he thought lessly put it in his pocket and brought it home, and I remember tliat he fumbled a long time at Hie door that night, and I let him in. He had tried to open his own door with that key. lie said to me, ‘That’s queer.’ A Feeble Democratic Joke. boston Herald (Ind.) The Democratic papers are never tired of ringing changes on their jeers at ex-President Hayes for “occupying an office to which he was never elected We should think their readers would say about this stale stuff, as the disgusted ex-soldier of the Confederacy did to Jeff Davis’s drivel about the lost cause, “Oh! why can’t he let up?” Mr. Hayes was declared by the count and the vote of the two bouses of Cotigress to be elected Presi dent, and bis titel was just as lawful as that of any of his predecessors. This count and vote were based, it is true, upon the decis ions of the electoral commission. But this body was created by Congress—Mr. Tilden’s representatives in both houses favoring it. Is it patriotic or manly to submit to arbitration a quarrel that threatens the peace of the na tion, and then howl for eight years over the decision? Do these men gamble only when they are dead sure to win? Do they bet, only on certainties? In the light of the cipher dispatches, their chronic cry of “fraud” is not edifying.

GAMBETTA’S LOVE STORY, The Truth at Last—A Genuine Romance of Politics, Passion and Fidelity, Paris Correspondence New York World. While Gambetta was alive the Figaro did everything in its power to accredit the absurd stories which were forever floating about concerning bis private life. A libel entitled (like the De Musset romance) ‘‘Elio et Lui,” published after the accident at Les .Tardies, a long and graphic account was given of how the great statesman was shot by a woman, the description of whom was as fantastic as the tale itself was fabulous. Now that poor Gambetta can no longer be hurt by attacks upon what he held dearest in the world, the Figaro has decided to tell the truth and shame the devil. It has at last put an end to the contradictory rumors in an article called ‘‘Le Roman de Gambetta.” The points were given by M. Etienne, an intimate friend of the Belleville deputy; so they will probably be accepted as the last word of this rather delicate affair. Here are the simple facts out of and upon which so many mysterious complications have been woven and embroidered. During the war of 1870 Mile. Leonie Leon, then twenty years of age, came to live in Paris with her mother, the widow of a colonel in the Frenh army. Mile. Leon took the greatest interest in Gara bettf. s career, believing him destined to till the highest positions. At the end of th? war she wrote letter after letter to her idol, begging for an interview, under the pretext, that she had important communications to make. Gambetta was so puzzled at the girl’s per sistence and so struck by the remarkable per sonal and political observations, mingled with the admiration expressed by her for the future dictator, that he ehtered into a con tinued correspondence with his clever disci ple. The letters were followed by interviews, which gradually ripened into friendship, and that into a love which lasted uninterrupt edly up to the moment of his premature death. For a long time Gambetta had been anx ious to‘‘regularize the position” of Leonie, as they say here. Several times he proposed to marry Mile. Leon, but each time she distinctly refused, saying it was too late. “Ten years ago it would have been possible, but now’, amidst the jealousy and envy you provoke marriage would be a draw'back to your career. I sacrificed myself voluntarily to you; don’t marry me.” But Gambetta remained firm in his determination to rival her generosity. Last year, while on a visit to the Chateau de Crete, lie told his father he was to be married the following April. For those who knew’ the two men this announcement meant that nothing on earth could change Leon Gambetta’s decis ion. Mile. Leon is a tall, slight brunette of dis tinguished bearing and manner. She talks w T ell, reads a great deal and is extremely w'ell educated. At present she is living with her mother in a badly-fnrnished apartment on the fourth floor of No. 14 Rue Soufflot. Gambetta, as even body knows, died intes tate, the doctors having kept him in igno rance of his true condition for fear of giving him what they termed a “serious shock.” His entire fortune, estimated at about a million of francs, therefore went to his legal family. Mme. Leon and his daughter have nothing beyond the small pension w’hich the govern ment allow’s the widows of officers. Mile. Leon is uncertain as to her future move ments, but she will probably be guided by the advice of Gambetta’s old friends, among whom MM. Spuller, Banc, Proust and Etienne, are determined never to abandon one whom they consider as the deceased pa triot’s w’idow'. Until after his death, the following fact was kept a secret even from Gambetta’s most intimate companions: At the beginning of the friendship be tween Mile. Leon and himself they agreed to write each other daily. Every night during a period of ten years Gambetta regularly wrote a long letter, giving Leonie his opinion upon the political, parliamentary and foreign events of the day. In fact he wrote for her his memoirs from day to daj r On her side Mile. Leon sent daily answers, in which she discussed the smallest details and gave him advice, which was often asked and followed. In a letter written before the formation of what was called the ‘‘Great Ministry” she prophesied the short duration of the cabinet and implored Gambetta not to fall into the trap which his enemies had laid for him. The whole correspondence is in the hands of this modern Egeria, who may someday make it public; though, according to the ac cepted fashion in matters of this kind, not, perhaps, until the people who met with harsh treatment at Gambetta’s hands are be yond either resentment or self-defense. Dur ing Gambetta’s lifetime Mile. Leon took great interest in the German question. She read Bismarck’s speeches with the minutest care, often pointing out important passages, which in the press of business her friend and teacher sometimes overlooked. Besides rectifying the mistakes about Mile. Leon, the Figaro has also put an end to the popular belief that Gambetta had a son, or sons, as there are two boys connected with this legend. Leon Jouznot, who walked im mediately behind the hearse on the day of the funeral, was the son of Gambetta’s sister, Mme. Leris, by a former marriage. The sec ond boy, who was often seen at Les Jardies, and whom Gambetta visited in Germany, was the son of a sister of Mile. Leon. Vanderbilt.’* European Trip. New York Special. It is said that Mrs. Vanderbilt will accom pany her husband to Italy, and that Mrs. Dr. Webb is expected to follow later in the summer. It is on the tapis that they, accom panied by some friends in England, will make a tour of Switzerland and Italy, and may possibly visit Spain, which country Mr. Vanderbilt has a great desire to see. While in Europe he will also visit the studios of several of the artists with the view of adding to his present valuable collection of paint ings. The well-known sculptor, Br. Gaudens, will give his valuable co-operation to this end, and already various commissions are spoken of with reference to this special feature of his visit. It is said, by those who are likely to know, that Mr. Vanderbilt in tends to secure, if possible, several paintings by Diaz, in the possession of whose most valuable works Mr. Jay Gould is so fortu nate. The family will be absent about three months, and, if what is reported bo true, it is possible that one of Mr. Vanderbilt’s daughters will be presented to the Queen. The recent visit of Captain W. Bagot, aid de-camp to the Marquis of Lome, gives a certain color to the reasonableness of the supposition. The party sail Saturday by the Germania. The Sinking of the Alabama. Charleston (8. C.) News. Charleston is so seldom honored with the visit of a nationat war vessel that the pres ence of two in the harborat one time is quite an event in the history of the port. The Kearsage, which has been here some days now. and is anchored ofif the battery, possesses some interest from her memorable light with the Alabama. Thomas Doran, a tine-looking, well-built seaman, about forty years of age, was pointed out as the only man on board who had been on the ship in the fight with the Alabama. Doran was very communi cative, and kindly entertained the reporter with what reminiscences lie could recall of the memorable fight. “I was,” he said, “a boy, j ship’s boy on the Kearsage. when the fight took place, and it’s been a long time ago, von know, but I remember the sinking of the Alabama, and we were all of the opinion that it was that gun yonder which did the business for her.” Here he conducted the reporter to a long eleven-inch smooth-bore Dalilgren, which was mounted on a pivot just abaft the mainmast, and which was splendidly polished and carefully lashed to the white deck. “Leastways,” con tinued the tar, “this gun and that other one (another eleven-inch Dalilgren mounted on a pivot between the foremast and the main mast) were in her when the fight took place; the aft gun was f-orrud then, and we think it was her as sunk the Alabama. The ship was handsomely fought, I remember, and she went down with colors fly in’. While the fight lasted she made it hot for us. A shell was afterwards found from one of the Ala bama’s guns fastened in our stern-post, and I the officers said if it had exploded it would i have blown out our stern and sunk the ship jat once, and so I believe it would. I saw the Alabama go down. It was soon after a shot was fired from that Dalilgren. A man named Boyd was the gunner. He was afterwards made a bos’n.” TELEPHONE EXPERIMENTS. A Conversation Between Citizens of New York aud Chicago. Chicago Tribnue. In order to test personally the merits of inventions which are expected to effect a revolution in the science of telegraphy Rufus Hatch sent a representive to this city in order to converse with the latter over i.OOO miles of wire. The desired experiments were made at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, and were of the most interesting character. Mr. Cushing operated the telephone on Broad way, New York; Mr. Rudd operated the one on Thirty-ninth street, Chicago. At Mr. Cushing’s side stood Mr. Hatch, and at Mr. Rudd’s elbow was Mr. Cole. “Ask Mr, Cole if he received a letter at the Palmer House this morning from Mr. Hatch.” This was the first question that came sliding swiftly over the wires—over lake and prairie and the roofs of a hundred hamlets, and through shade and sunshine. It was answered in the affirmative. Professor Gray sat on one of the tables near at hand, with his silk hat tilted over the back of his head. He watched the experi ment with interest, aud beamed on the tele phone in a kind, encouraging way. But the next conundrum that “Uncle Rufus” sent skipping along to the West nearly “knocked out” the instrument in the second round. It was: “Where was I three weeks ago last Sun day?” The Chicago telephone tried to answer: “With John Pender at lunch,” but the effort was evidently too great. New York couldn’t hear. The Chicago telephone tried again, but in vain, and it began to get “rattled” and to perspire violently. The stenographer at Mr. Cole’s side, who had already written the answer: “With —John—Pender—at— lunch,” five times, looked at the instrument reproachfully and increased its confusion. Finally Professor Gray said solicitously: “I think the word ‘lunch’ is what breaks up the telephone. Just change it.” The suggestion was adopted, and the Chi cago telephone braced up and exclaimed boldly: “With John Pender in London,” and New York gleefully responded: “Right you are.” The two instruments then got their second wind and carried on a very intelligible con versation about Mr. Pender’s house in Lon don, until the New York machine asked its Chicago friend, “What church did you at tend three weeks ago in London?” The Chicago telephone fairly groaned. It tried to say: “At the Old Temple Church,” but it could not make New York understand, It repeated the sentence again and again, and spelled out the word “T-e-m-p-l-e” until it covered three pages of the stenographer’s notebook, but at last New York “caught on,” and the Chicago machine heaved a sigh of genuine relief. The Garden City telephone was by this time somewhat hoarse, but it said the remainder of its catechism very nicely, indeed. Mr. Clay operated it satisfactorily, recog nizing Mr. Hatch’s voice at a distance of 1.- 000 miles. “Our experiment shows conclusively,” said Mr. Cole, “how great the possibilities of the system are.” Prof. Gray stated that on some days he could carry on a conversation with New York without the slightest embarrassment, and at other times he encountered much dif ficulty in making himself understood. Some of the delicate vibrations, he admitted, were apt to be lost while in a state of transmission. Translation of an American-French Joke. New York World. Immense example of this which can the nerves and the muscles of the man, uniteds at a will inflexible. The journals of the West Americans—the most worthies of faith of alls we know it— teach us this here: A murderer, most researched of the po lice; of whom we had the signalment exact, has succeeded during strong longtime to escape at the researches by the mean follow ing: He knew that we had made, of after his photographs, a figure of wax for a museum of San Francisco. Grace to the connivance of a guardian, he occupied in person all the day without budging the place of his im age, where we would not have gone to seek him! After having thus eluded the police during three weeks he is succeeded to fly. The police tears out himself the hairs! Auecdote of l'liwhe Cary. Mr. Laboyteux in Cincinnati "I imes-Star. Mr. Jones once remarked that the Cary sisters were fond of society, but by no means could they he called society women. Mr. Jones and I were fond of company also, and many an evening found us at the old home stead. These visits were pleasant and profit able to us, that is to Mr. Jones and myself. On one occasion when conversation began to fiag, as it will sometimes in the best of com pany, Mr. Jones suddenly assumed a far away look, as though he had forgotten some thing that ought to have been remembered. It seemed to strike him at last, and reaching for the candle and appropriating the melted tallow about the wick, then and there coolly and deliberately proceeded to anoint his nose. I called Phoebe’s attention to the mat ter, and remarked that Mr. Jones’s nose must be chapped. “O no,” she remarked, “he is only greasing it to make it go.” Chance* of the Future. Philadelphia Time*. It is not at all unlikely that in a few years every man may become his own locomotive. In more practical words, it is possible that the problem of aerial navigation will he brought into such subjection that a man may sail through the air from his place of busi ness to his country house in a few minutes. A German scientist in New York has in vented a machine which, if furnished with sufficient power, will travel through the air at the rate of forty miles an hour. The pos sibilities of such a machine are ueyond con jecture. IftheKeely motor could in some way he hitched to this invention in a practi cal way, the very mummies of Egypt would turn over in their toombs from sheer aston ishment.

It was a Georgia man who supplied this disreputable word to the English language, but he lias been justly commemorated in that fashion. “Bogus” is found in Webster, who defines it as "spurious, a cant term originally applied to counterfeit (Ameri can)." William A. Bogus tens yearn agd a land-lottery commissioner in Georgia. He proved himself a rascal by issuing fraudu lent land rights, and was caught in his ras cality. Thus this obscure Georgia scamp scoured himself a place in the dictionary. JUDGE WOODS’S APPOINTMENT. What Is Sahl by the Able Newspaper Gos sips of How It Was Made. Washington Special to Cincinnati News-Journal. Immediately after the appointment of Gresl am, applicants for the vacant judgehip sent ii their testimonials to Harrison, and in an interview published in one the Indianap olis papers, he said that “No appointment would be made to fill the judicial vacancy until he had held a conference with the Pres ident,” implying that the man he recom mended would receive the appointment. Until that interview appeared. Judge Gresham was inclined to concede the ap pointment of his successor to Harrison. But his personal friends advised him that he could not afford to let Harrison, by indirec tion, claim credit for his appointment and for naming his successor to the judgeship. They said to him: “You have only a year before the State convention meets in which to make your leadership in Indiana secure. You cannot afford to waste any time. The thing for you to do is to name your succes sor.” Gresham acted on this advice, and with great practical sense determined to name the man against whom nobody could say a word. Woods is judge of the United States District Court, and Gresham is the leader of the Republican party in Indiana. If the Re publican party chooses its candidate for President from Indiana, it will be Gresham. The outlook for 1884 is that McDonald and Gresham will be pitted against each other, and as they are both thoroughbreds we may look for a lively race. Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. Mr. W. S. Woods, who was to-day ap pointed United States District judge for In diana, to succeed Postmaster-general Gresh am, is at present the Chief Justice of the Su preme Court of Indiana. The appointment was made on Gresham’s recommendation. Gresham was at first disposed to let Senator Harrison control the appointment, but he was urged by his friends in Indiana to have the dispensation of the patronage of the State in his own hands if he could control it. Upon reflection, he took this course. Special to Louisville Courier-Journal. The New York Tribune and the leading Republican papers East will have this to say to-morrow about Harrison and the appoint ment: “The appointment of Judge Woods will be a disagreeable surprise as well as dis appointment to Senator Harrison, who warmly recommended and urged the appoint ment of his own law partner, Judge Hines, of Indianapolis. When Senator Harrison left Washington several days ago, after ex hausting his powers of argument and persu asion in favor of Hines, he did so feeling con fident that the appointment would be made, and withal discontented because that had not already been done. It is understood that the Attorney-general told Senator llan’ison if he would name any candidate outside of Indianapolis, the appointment would be made, but it appears that the Sena tor had no second choice. The Republican representatives from Indiana have for some time felt that they had good reason to com plain, because ail the important Federal offi ces of the State had been given to citizens of Indianapolis, and nearly all of them strongly opposed the appointment of Judge Hines for that reason. Special to Chicago Tribune. The selection of Judge Woods is an indica tion that the breach between the two promi nent men in the Republican party of Indiana is by no means reconciled by the elevation of one of them to a cabinet position. It is an open secret that Senator Harrison recom mended the appointment of his law-partner, 0. 0. Hines. It appears that President Arthur has chosen to act upon Postmaster general Gresham’s choice of a successor to himself rather than any one else’s choice, and the probabilities are that the breach in the party ranks will be widened by this ap pointment. The Kentucky Code of Morals. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Kentucky code can be understood only by those who practice it. It seems to suit the people down there, and its hold on their minds is not at all weakened or in any way affected by the progress of civilization else where. To all the rest of the world the Tnomp9on-l)avis shooting scrape is a “cele brated case,” but in Kentucky will probably be obscured within a week by some new illustration of savagery, and the comments of unchivalrous outsiders will probably have no other result except to make the people of that Commonwealth cling more devotedly to their peculiar institution. Does It Pay? New York Mail and Express. Suppose the laborer strikes for a 10 per cent, advance and remains out fifty days: he must work 500 days even to make as much as if he had kept right on at the old rate. Does this pay? Os course it pays the officers of the trades unions, but does it pay the ordinary workingman? Does the glory of belonging to a big organization compen sate for the loss of a month’s labor every year, and for the payment of dues to sup port in idleness strikers in other parts of the country?

May 3 There wan nothin? of importance developed In general business to-day. Trade in most lines of merchandise la up to the vo’ nuie of the corre sponding period last year. The Boston Adver tiser, in speaking of the general business, says M ne trade of the country is really larger than it has been before, notwithstanding the fact that a few railroads show diminished receipts, and clearing-house transaction are not grow ing Kut dealers generally report heavy trans actions; what they complain of is the absence of prolits. 'The fact remains that the country is prosperous, relatively and absolutely, that is to say, it does better than do Rnglaiid and France, it is richer than it was a yt arago.it. produces more than it consumes, and It should he happy. Rot it happens that the man of business feels brightest and best when prices go up; Just now, they go down. For a shallow and uninteresting reason men are al ways bulls with what they have and bears with what they do not have. As far, then, as their Influence goes, the general tendency of prices must be downward, especially In a country life ours, where production is so general. And it is opinion as well as sympathy with Europe which sends American quotations down—not uniform ly, but on the average. And this tendency Is en tirely compatible with occasional reactions, with a marked advancement, and even with a prolonged rise. But it is fairly clear that the prevailing mass of opinion, as directed upon the larger quantity of merchantable goods, favors low prices, and that this opinion caunot be with out due effect. L. 0.

We know enough of this crop, from our own sources of huowledee, to predict more than we care to name, and wo earnestly advise our customers to be found on the long side.

Wheat markets all around are firm at an advance over yesterday, with Chicago leading, as usual. Prices on new crop futures are showing most strength, indi cating the growing conviction of shortage in the crop of 1883. At present this is a prospective scarcity, as no pressing need is Jnst now felt in the leading markets. Locally, our market has shown more advance than elsewhere exhibited.

This is to be laid over the floor for an hour or two, or as long as the patient can endure it, and then replaced by a cooling poultice. If applied in the first stages, the sore will be drawn rapidly to a head, and weeks of pain avoided. If very painful, put a little laudanum on the poultice, and if that does not relieve, bathe the hand with chloroform. After the felon has broken, or at any stage when it is advisable to apply a soft poultice, there can be nothing better than flaxseed meal. Pour boiling water slowly over a teaspoonful of the meal until a soft poultice is made—not soft enough to run, or dry enough to become easily hard.

Mr. Frank McLaughlin, of Philadelphia, told me on Thursday that Francis Drexel, of the banking-house which originated there, was said to bo worth $13,000,000, und An thony Drexel worth $11,000,000. There were about 100 millionaires in Philadelphia, and 80111 P fortunes of $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. Jay Cooke was probably worth $3,000,000 a ain. A Mr. Williams, of whom littie was known, was one of the wealthiest Philadel phians. The son of Thomas A.

Tllfi INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 18S3. THE HARVARD HOSPITAL. A Model Institution Which Other Colleges Would Do Well to Copy. Boston Journal. On the north side of Holmes’s field at Harvard College is a little one-story yellow house which lias often attracted attention, contrasting as it does so strongly with the large buildings which occupy the southern portion of the field. This little building is the college hospital, and, although small, it is yet perfect in all its arrangements. In 1874 the authorities felt the need of an insti tution of this sort in connection with the college, for twice in recent years the break ing out of a contagious disease had found the college unprepared tor such an emer gency. In the first of these cases the presi dent had promptly thrown open his house to the sick student and had placed him there under the best of care. At the time of the second case of sickness, in 1874, the president was abroad, and his house, being vacant, was again put at the disposal of the sick man. The liability of such cases again occurring led to the erection of the college hospital. The hospital was built under the direction of prominent physi cians, and is, accordingly, a model in every respect. Like all modern hospitals it is only one story in height, that being found to be the best for perfect ventilation and quick heating. There are two large rooms or wards, with two small rooms and bathrooms adjoin ing. By this arrangement two different diseases can be treated here, and, if occasion demands it, eight students can be accommo dated. In the basement is a kitchen, with a cook-stove and all necessary utensils, a laun dry and cloaca*. The house is heated by means of a furnace, and there are also fireplaces in each large room. These fires are always kept ready to be lighted, so that at a moment’s warning the house can be warmed and made ready for oc cupants. Special beds and linen are kept for use here, and, when the hospital is used, are never carried from the house, so that all danger from spread of the disease by this means is avoided. Whenever a student is taken sick with contagious disease he is im mediately taken to this hospital. To convey him there the college possesses a closed sedan chair, which is taken directly into the stu dent’s room and then carried quickly across the field and into the ward of the hospital. The ill person is then at liberty to send for his own physician and nurses—there being no special college physician—and, if desired, lus parents are at liberty to use the hospital as their own house. In two cases of sickness which have occurred this year the hospital was so used. Beyond this provision of a perfectly ar ranged hospital the college dues not make, and, indeed, scarcely could make, any fur ther provision. If at any time more cases of contagious sickness should occur than the hospital could hold, the college would he im mediately closed. Asa fact, there has never been any dangerous epidemics here during the college year. Seventy years ago, during the summer, an epidemicof typhoidal dysen tery broke out among those students who were still occupying the dormitories; and several fatal cases occurred. Os recent years, however, there have itever been more than two students in the hospital at the same time, and this freedom from a spread of dis ease is doubtless greatly due to the prompt and successful care taken by the college au thorities. It may furthermore be said that, although the hospital is situated on the oollege campus, there is not the slightest danger of the contagion spreading by reason of that. The building is thoroughly’ disinfected after it has been occupied, and is then one of the best domiciles, as far as sanitary arrange ments are concerned, of the college. Asa matter of fact, the building has been twice occupied as a home. Not long after it was built a student from Canada, who had just married, was given permission to use the hospital as a home, and did so use it. The other time was when Prof. Ko-Kun-Hua, the Chinese profesi or, who had unexpectedly ar rived in Cambridge before arrangements for his accommodation had been made, was given the use of the little yellow building for himself and family. How to Set Trees. Correspondence Country Gentleman. In the spring of 1876 I planted a number of trees in the Observatory grounds near here, and had the holes dug out and refilled for us by contract. For a shelter belt of pines and spruces 1 had holes dug 3 feet wide by 2 feet deep, the good soil kept separate from the poor, and the holes filled up again with the good soil and the equivalent of the poor in earthy muck, at 11 cents per hole. Os course we furnished and carted the muck to the holes These trees were a miscellaneous lot, from 1 to 3 feet high, and were planted in March and April. They have grown very well, ure in vigorous condition, and now ‘Scotch firs average li l A feet high, 8 feet spread of branches, and 10 inches girth of steal 2 feet from the ground; Austrian pine. 11 feet high, 0 feet spread, 11 inches girth; white pine, 13 to 14 feet high, to 10 feet spread, inches girth; Norway spruce, 13 to 17 feet high, Bla to 10 feet spread, 8 inches girth, and white spruce, 13 feet high, 10 feet spread and 8 inches girth. The white pine and the spruces are now running up over 2 feet a year. For the specimen trees, such as oaks, ma ples, beeches ami choice conifers, we had holes dug ten feet wide by three feet deep, and subject to the same conditions as the small holes, for 80 cents a hole. These spe cimens are mostly on high, sloping thin land; therefore by making ample provision for them to begin with, we expect that they will be fair-sized trees before they will have to depend fora living on the soii beyond that prepared for them, and then they will be well able to rough it. Five yeursago I planted a lot of Norway maples along the side walk on the street. I made the holes eight feet wide by two deep; filled up with fresh soil—almost anything I could get together, such as loam, peat muck, screened earth from the rubbish pile —and packed the whole very firmly. They were well-rooted, fine, straight, $2 trees. They have grown very well, and I have shortened back their branches two or three times. They are now seventeen to twenty feet high, with stems ten to eleven inches iu girth. A Weir’s cut leafed maple among them has outstripped them in growth. Rlihn B. Washburne’* Treatment of a Bully. Now York Tima*. A story is told in illustration of the pluck of the Hon. Elihu B. Washburne at the time when he had more physical strength than now. It was during one ot his canvasses in Illinois for a seat in Congress. He was making the closing speech of the campaign in the Methodist Church at a place ten miles from Galena, and among his hearers, who in cluded ninny Democrats, was a well-known and greatly feared bully, one Tat. Welch, who. by the way, was shot and killed a few years ago in a saloon in Colorado. Welch was slightly drunk, and had interrupted Mr. Washburne several times, and lie at length appealed to the people to eject him from the room. There was not a man in the audience who dared tackle the bully, and he was per mitted to remain, until “uncle Elihu” him self, stung by a taunting and grossly insult ing remark of Welch, leaped down, and making his way to where the drunken loafer was seated, caught him by the hand, jerked him from liis perch, and hustled him out of the door before he had fairly time to breathe, much less to offer resistance. Mr. Wash burne finished his speech without further in terruption. lfow to Grow Pan*iefl. Boston Journal. By a little planning onu can havo a fine display through the season, sowing in early autumn und then again in early spring If one is beginning, but w here one has beds already there ure f!ways u pleuty of self-sown seed- lings springing up. New plants ought to be set out every year to take the place of old straggling ones. When a bed has deterio rated it should be dug up and enriched for new plants. Remember that a rich mellow soil and a place somewhat sheltered from the intense sunshine is essential for the best results. When practicable have some such in a secluded nook where you sow seed in August, or to which you can transplant seed lings for the pansy bed next spring. Sev eral times a week when the plants are bloom ing go over them carefully, removing every withered flower and every seed pod, for a great deal of strength goes to the ripening of the seed vessels which, when removed, goes to form new buds and larger blooms. The enriching must be done in the soil; liquid manure injures the flowers. Household Hints. A good rule to follow when boiling corned beef is to allow half an hour to the pound after it has commenced to boil. The fumes of a sulphur match held under the fingers after picking or hulling strawber ries, will instantly remove the stains. If onions, after they are peeled, are allowed to remain in suited water for an hour before boiling, they will lose their strong, peculiar flavor. Onions that are to be eaten raw may be treated in the same way. Pillow shams are regaining favor. A favor ite style now is to make them of the finest cambric, with narrow' insertion edge, with drawn Work, and finished off with a border ing of lace to match insertion. For acute pain in the stomach or bowels, try strong saltpeter water. Wring a good sized piece of flannel from this solution, and apply hot to the part affected, laying over it another piece of flannel; cover the patient well in bed and lay a hot brick at the feet. eggs are good for canaries, but the shells should not be put in the cage, as there is danger of the female birds learning to eat the shells of their own eggs. Cayenne pepper is a sort of tonic for canaries; it is a good plan to hang a red-pepper pod in the cage, and let them help themselves to it. Melt half an ounce of camphor gum, half an ounce of glycerine, and one pound of mutton tallow, and apply to the hands every night. It will whiten them nicely. For home-made camphor ice, melt half a teacup ful of mutton tallow, put into it a piece of camphor gum about the size of a large hick ory nut, and add a teaspoonful of olive oil. Pour into a mould to harden. Pulverized borax is excellent to drop in the water to soften the skin. 1 ti g-Brave- W i t li-a-f Mas* Eye. Nashville World. The requisition made by Red Horse, or Blue Horse, the Indian chief, on the United States government for a glass eye recalls an amusing*anecdote wo have heard from the frontiers. Lieutenant Walter F. llalleok, while serving with the Union army at tiie battle of Murfreesboro, had the misfortune to lose an eye. After the surrender he was promoted to the regular army as first lieu tenant, for gallantry as a private in the vol unteer service, and was sent for several years on duty out West. To provide for an emer gency, he took along a couple of extra glass eyes. Haileck has a small blue eye, and the artificial optic was made to fit accordingly. On one occasion, at a gather ing of the red braves, a six and-a-half-footer, with but one eye, and that its black as a sloe and as large as a saucer, successfully besought Haileck to in sert his artificial into his own sightless optic socket Haileck says he never saw an In dian so delighted. Dressed alone in a long white man’s shirt ana an old plug hat, he Eromenaded around the camp as proud as ucifer, with one big black and one little blue eye, really making the other Indians believe that he could see through the “white man’s eye" as easily as he could through his natural eye. Haileck says he had never be fore seen a more amusing spectacle, and, at the same time, one which looked more like a picture of the devil. A Tlirec-Cent Stamp Worth 9100. Boston Traveller. In 1846, while awuiting supplies from the department at Wushingtou, the postmasteis of certain cities were authorized to issue stamps temporarily. Among others so issu ing was the postmaster of Brattleboro. Eight hundred stamps were printed, and of these one-half were burned. Collectors have been in search of some of these stamps, and it was considered a hopeless matter to procure one of them. One collector, however, who was shrewder than the rest, instituted a search for the engraver, whom he found residing in Springfield, and be had still remaining seven of the precious squares, which he disposed of to the collector for 76 cents each, besides furnishing indubitable proof of the genuine ness of the issue, the very existence of which was doubted. The fact of the purchase leaked out, and a dealer offered $1 apiece for six of the seven. This was refused by the original purchaser, who demanded five times that sum, and before the money reached him, although it was sent with promptitude, he had an offer of $lO apiece. Being an honest man, he stuck to his first offer, and parted with six for S3O. The most precious of the lot, which bore the engraver’s name, he re tained possession of, and this is the one he has now sold for SIOO. Death of a Lovely Woman. Louisvillo Commercial, yesterday. The death of Mrs. Lizzie Haldeman Pearce, wife of Mr. Charles D. Pearce, and oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Haldeman, which occurred yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock, is a sad blow to the circle of relatives and friends by whom she was so greatly loved and admired. She was a young lady of the most admirable domestic traits, accomplished and cultivated, and upon her parents no less than upon her husband this mournful end of a life that was so young ami so promising of happiness and usefulness will fall with crush ing weight. Mrs. Pearce was born June 17, 1858, and was, therefore, but twenty-five yearfi old. She was married to Mr. Pearce in October, 1881, and has continued to reside at her father's home, over which she presided to the relief of Mrs. Haldeman, who was not strong. She leaves an infant but two weeks old. The immediate cause of Mrs. Pearce’s death was pneumonia, and for a week there has been no hope of her recovery. The fu neral will take place from the Second Pres byteriun church this afternoon at 4 o’clock. The interment will be private. Tlie High License Plan. Interview with a Prominent Nl>ranki Democrat. “What about the high-lieense system iu Nebraska?” “It works splendidly,” said Mr. Fitzgerald. “In Lincoln I have not seen a drunken man since the SI,OOO license was adopted. The /toggeries have been cleaned out. The half ‘dozen saloons left are respectable and well conducted. A man goes in, takes a drink, pays for it and walks out. There are no loafers around. We would not have low license back under any consideration.” “Are you a Democrat, Mr. Fitzgerald!” “Most certainly. What has that go to do with high license? I tell you everybody is pleased, satisfied and delighted with the workings of the system. I am a Democrat, but most emphatically a high-license man.” Tire Fanner's Interest in tlie Tariff. Brookvill* American. There are two or three millions of mechan ics in the United Stales who support them selves und families upon the articles of food produced by the industry of those who own and cultivate the soii for a livelihood. But if tlie Democrats get control of our national affairs and force their free-trade policy upon us, mechanical and manufacturing interests would very soon bo seriously affected there by, and ultimately ruined. Then these mil lions of American mechanics would he driven from tlieir workshops and manufactories of towii3 and cities into the country to become farmers in order to provide food for them selves and families. Farm Notes. Frequent cultivation is a good substitute for manure, but pays much better with ma nure than without. Light seeds, such as parsnips and rhubarb, are not good over one year, Seeds like the cabbage tribe are good for four or five years. It pays to give currant bushes good atten tion. A clayey is better than a sandy soil, and partial shade and a moist, thouerh thor oughly well-drained soil suits them well. Every one interested in potatoes should try on a small scale new varieties till they find something adapted to their cultivation, etc., and by being a little careful, can double their yield on any of the other kinds with but little additional expense.

SKIN TORTURES. Ex-Senator William Taylor Proposes a Remarkable Cure for Skin ami Blood Humors. [From the Boston Daily Globe.] Among the many remarkable cures of disease* of the skin, among those so a filleted iu this city, none is more so than the euro of Hon. Wiliiata Taylor of a scrofulous skin humor. Many who remember Mr. Taylor’s condition just bolore he resorted to the remedies were surprised at the wonderful results. They say that both his head and face were broken out with a most malignant type of skin disease. His head was covered with scaly patches aud bis face was disfigured by fos tering pimples, blotches aud ugly sores. His hair was also fast falling out. Notwithstand ing physicians of the highest standing on the treatment of skin diseases were called to his aid, their efforts were unavailing in even ohecklng the disease. It grew worse, and Mr. Taylor was despairing of a cure at about the time when the Cutioura remedies begun to attract public atten tion. Sufferers from skin troubles were drawu to them by the marvellous cures that had followed their use, and t lie great praise which was awarded them on all sides. Mr. Taylor seized upon the new euro with hopeful expectancy, which has been amply rewarded by the cleansing of his skin of a virulent humor. To-day his skin is clear and healthy-loouing, his head is not even troubled by dandruff, aud the bald spots have all been covered witli hair. Representatives of this pa per who know Mr. Taylor intimately, and who can vouch for the truth of every word here writ ten, called upon him and had a lengthy conver sation relative to the Cuticura remedies and hia own treatment by them. Mr. Taylor’s appear ance more than met the description giveu ot him by his friends; so much so, that seeing him for the first time one could hardly believe that so healthy a complexion had ever been so sorely afflicted. Mr. Taylor was great iu his praise of the remedies. Ho believes that, he ow r es to their use not only the entire eradication of the skin disease, but also his general return to perfect health. In the course of conversation, he said: “l had suffered for twelve years previous to 1878 with wha* the physicians termed ‘eczema of a most aggravated type,’ but what really seemed to he u combination of seveiul akin dis eases. I consulted the leading skin doctors of Boston on the trouble. They treated it, one* after the other, hut all Ineffectually. A voyage to England and the treatment by the best doc tors of Loudon was as fruitless in results. It was in 1867 that I made that trip. I continued to follow receipe after reoelpe without being benefited; in fact my condition grew worse in stead of better until 1878, when it had assumed Its most chronic form. 1 was on the point of abandoning all hope of a cure when the Cutioura remedies came to my notice. Tho treatment was most peculiar, ami when I first applied the remedies they seemed to make my face and head worse and intensified my sufferings. But now I can easily account for all that. There was so much humor lodged within my skin that tho Cutioura brought It to the surface in large quaii titles. This was just contrary to the way Iliad ueen treating the disease for years. All tho doctors’ efforts seemed to have been directed to wards keeping the humor from coming to the surface, so as to prevent its showing, so that wuon I thought the Cuticura was doing uio harm. It was really w’orking In the most effectual manner, by cleansing the skin of Its poisonous load. 1 lie surface or my face festered, and large quantities of virus matter were discharged. Such was the ooudition of uiy face and head for about three weeks. After that time there ap peared a gradual improvement, which did not cease until I was wholly cured. The improve ment was first manifested in a gradual lessening of inflammation, the healing of what had been festering sores, and the disappearance of the vast quantities of festering matter which the application of tiie Cuticura had brought to the surraee. You may judge how much the remedies relieved me, for before their use there were times In which I could get no rest because of tUo al most insufferable burning heat and Itching sores which covered my head and face. After using them three weeks I experienced great comfort, for when the Cuticura was then applied it had a most soothing effect. Tiie ooziug from the head, so noticeable in eczema, also ceased, and the scaly collections dropped off, leaviug tho scalp of the head pure and healthy. I followed the directions carefully for sixteen months, and I had conquered the terrible disease with which I had beeu battling sot twelve years, and of which for threb years more has been no return.

Exposure of the False Pretense that Outside Ticket Offices Are Closed. The Struggle for Supremacy by the Heavy Freight Engines—Personal and Impersonal. A UNIFORM GAUGE DESIRABLE. Southern Roads to Change Their Gauge to That of Northern Lines. An official of a leading Southern railway yes terday remarked to the railroad reporter of the Journal that he was well satisfied that within a few years all roads south of the Ohio rivor would be converted into standard gauge roads, aud in fact, some managements were already making preparations for the impending change, and he thought that the 6ooner the change was made the better, as only one argument could lie advanced la favor of the gauge of Southern rail ways; that was, that their care did not get lost on Northern roads, or did not get down into New England, where cars were kept run ning for weeks in local business. It is stated that ever since the Chicago, St. Louis New Orleans narrowed its gauge, to conform with that of the Northern roads, it has been gaining steadily in earnings, and its tratfio has constantly increased. Connecting lines in the North have found it much easier to deal with this company thau with those whose tracks re quired that the trucks on ail through cars should be changed. This official states that on several ot the Southern roads the equipments have been so constructed that the wheels can easily be pressed back on the axles and adjusted for a nar row track, and the narrowing of the track a few inches of any one line can be done in a single day, without interruption of traffic, when proper preparation for so doing has been made. Were the railway system of the United States of uniform gauge, there could be greater economy in opera tion and greater convenience for moving freights and carrying passengers. DISHONORABLE COMPETITION. All Hands Selling Tickets Outside Union Offices. The biggest hurabuggery now going on in In dianapolis railroad circles is tbe pretension that all outside offices, except the Cincinnati, Hamil ton Indianapolis road, are closed except as in formation bureaus. With but one exception, a party has only call at one of these offices and let it be known that he is wishing to pur chase tickets, and the tickets are forthwith fur nished and at a lower rate than that offered by a competing line, in most cases. Some of the agents go through the form of going to the Union ticket office to purohnse these tickets, but they handle the money aud make whatever cut they are obliged to to get the business. The Indiana, Bloomington Western have no ticket case at their outside offioee, yet they have a good supply of skeleton tickets, which their agent, Butler, does not hesi tate. it is stated, to fill out and receive the cash tnerefor. Then MartiD, of the Cincinnati, Indi anapolis, St. Louis Chicago road, has, under the garb of selling tickets only to local points on this line, opened an office at the North-street de pot, and from this office parties, it is said, can purchase tickets to any northwestern as well a9 to local points, and over one road, which claims to be striotiy acting on tbe square in this matter, 145 tickets were sold by local ticket scalpers in the month of April. The fact is that open com petition would be much more honorable than the underhauded schemes resorted to by local agents to evade the arbitrary restriotious tbe Union Railway Company endeavor to place on the sale of tiokets. HEAVY FREIGHT ENGINES. Doubt as to Its Being Economy to Use Them. W. F. Turreff, master mechanic of the Bee Line system, states that this company will build no more eight-wheel locomotives for freight service. The company is now building eighteen mogul eugines. Mr. Turreff believes in consol engines, hut says the railway managements must be edu cated up to building cars more substantially, a matter which is receiving more attention, before consols can be safely used. He states that in the Bee Line system all new cars, so far as draw-bars, couplings and pins are con cerned, are constructed one-third heavier than three years ago. A correspondent of the Iron Age, however, who i9 connected with a promi nent Eastern railway, predicts that in ten years from now heavy locomotives of the mogul and consolidation types would be used only on very hilly roads. He had for some time kept a care ful account of the cost of repairs to freight cars that were properly chargeable to this class of engines, as well as extra repairs to tracks and accidents from spread rails caused by the exces sive weight, and found that it exceeded the sav ing in trainmen’s wages and the interest on the cost of the extra number of lighter eight-wheeled engiues necessary to the same work, to an extent that he was really afraid to mention. The heavy engines pulled out, in freight work, three draw-bars, where the lighter engines pulled out one; and the floor framing of cars hauled ex clusively by the former was racked and loosened more in a single year than it would be in five years with the latter. With the lighter engines thirty cars were a load, while with the heavy ones sixty cars were now considered about Lhe thing. This superintendent also asserted that if there is an average of eight inohes slaok be tween the draw-heads in a train of sixty cars, a consolidation engine, or “hoc:,” as it is called out West, will, In starting the train, travel forty feet before the last or rear car moves, the engine, of course, acquiring a headway in the meantime of from two to three miles an hour, the result being that the rear car, weighing, with its load, say thirty-two tons, is Jerked from a dead stand still to a speed at whioli the eii-due is moviug. If such speed is at the rate of three miles an hour, the effect of the sudden Jerk upon the car can be easily imagiued, SUPERINTENDENTS. The New Policy of Requiring a “Character’ from the Last Employer. So the Editor of tlie Indianapolis Journal: Once upon a time there was a noted tragedian starring in a large city. He heard that he was being burlesqued by a comic actor. The trage dian consulted with his friends. He theu sent a pressing invitation to the comic actor to come to his room. The actor came promptly. The tragedian locked the door, pocketed the key, told the actor he had burlesqued him for the amuse ment of others, aud lie now proposed he should give a rehearsal for tho benefit of himself and friends. There was to boa penalty if ho refused to comply. The delineations of the actor caused the wife and friends of the tragedian to laugh, but he, shaking with wrath, exclaimed to his wife, “Good heavens, Eleanor! Do I mouth like that?" She replied, “Upon my soul, Charles, it’s you to the very life!" Wonder if that conclave of superintendents know how they mouthed when they set to music that bilious item that went the rounds of the press that they intended to employ no man unless he brought a letter stating why he was discharged by his last em ployer. At tho tiino wo were trying to teach our “small bov” what a perfect vacuum was. He de clared these superiiiiendents' heads would “fill the bill" nicely, so fur as a practical illustration was needed. It must he admitted that boys have wonderful perceptions of biddeu truths. By what right do those doughty chaps tune it upou them selves to estublish such a rule? I am not going to say anything about the rights and wrongs of “the poor workingman;" would as soon thing of quoting Bhukspeare to these superintendents about “graves and worms and bugs ami epi taphs,” etc., with a great deal of the etc. I only want to tell them that if the man has never murdered anybody, and the superintendent will not make an affidavit that he was a thief, It is nobody's business what he was discharged for. “Here’s contumaciousness!” do I hear these su perintendents exclaim? Bless your musty old souls, not a hit of it. I counsel you to ho just, aud require every employe to be respectful and obedient. If the.re are any superintendents who insist upon having this rule, I must caution the boys from engaging employment with such until they have made careful Inquiries of the, presi dents or generul superintendents that these .su perintendents were last employ *d by whether they, when discharged, (no, no I mean “resigned” If they were resigned to the decree when asked to resign R e-s 1-g-n-e-d! That’s a teal nice word. It means patience under uffilction. But, oh, what a world of meaning it has when applied lo tramp superintendent*. Now here is an example for THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1883. every manager from Maine to Oregon; our presi dent, our general superintendent, our master of transportation do not care a continental d—ime what a man was discharged for from the services of Manager A. or Superintendent B If they conclude to employ him, they tutor him after their own fashion, and he soon understands that a permanent situation on this railroad means BtricL attention to business. None of these gen tlemen hail from the cattle ranches of Texas, therefore do not brapd when they discharge an employe. The art of retiring him gracefully has not become one of the lost arts with them, and a railway with a better disciplined and more coutented set of men cannot be found in the United States. Topsv of Logansport. GENERAL NEWS. The Erie Method of Running Heavy Pas senger Trains. An Erie man stated yesterday that the longest passenger trains run in this counary were hauled over the Eric road, between Hornellsville and New York. The train going east from Hor nellsville, leaving at 7 p. m., consists of eighteen to twenty coaches, and its time schedule is thirty-two miles per hour. On some portions of the road two engines are attached to the train. The Erie management are said to still cling to the idea that this is a better method of running passenger trains than to cut them into two or more sections, and claim that it is more econom ical. Tho engines which haul these trains weigh from forty-two to forty-five tone. Michigan Central’s Report. Detroit, Mich., May 3.—The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Michigan Central railroad was held in this city to-day. The an nual report shows the following faots: Gross earnings, $0,041,032; operating expenses, $6,- 671,726; interest and rentals, $1,801,371; net revenue, $567,931; construction expenditure, $177,934; 2 per cent, dividend paid on Feb. 1 last, $374,764; leaving a cash surplus or $15,- 230. The improvements and additions made to the company’s property amount to $1,250,000. The following directors were elected for the en suing year: Win. H., Win. K. and Cornelius Vanderbilt, Augustus Schell, Samuel F. Barger, E. D. Worcester, of New York; Henry B. Led yard, of Detriot; Anson Stager, of Chicago; Wm. L. Scott, of Erie, Penn. Another Railway Project. St. Paul, May 3.—Articles of incorporation of the Minneapolis, St. Paul Seacoast Railway, capital $15,000,000, were filed with the Secre tary of State to-day. Incorporators—Alexander Ramsey, N. W. Kittson, H. H. Sibley, of St. Paul; Richard Chute, A. B. Nettleton aDd Judson N. Cross, of Minneapolis; E. H. Thayer and J. S. Stacy, of Iowa; Ralph Hawnib, of Scranton, 111., andJ.D. Hervey, of Chicago. The road is to run from Minneapolis, via Bt. Paul, striking the southern boundary of the State in Fillmore county, aud the Mississippi river at Canton, la. Miscellaneous Notes. The United States Rolling Stock Company now has 4,758 oars leased and nineteen locomotives. These cars last year earned for the company $221,578 67, which is enough to pay the cost of the same number of new cars. The Atchison, Topeka Banta Fe railroad’s statements for February and March show a gain in net earnings of the main line since Jan. l,of $320,000, or 30 per cent. The Kansas City, Lawrence <fc Southern brauch gained $60,000 in net earnings. Passenger rates, east-bound out of San Fran cisco, are being cut scharply. The cutting, how ever, ie mostly done on second-class and immi grant tickets. Until last week the outs were made only over the Central and Union Pacific. Now the Southern Pacific is taking a hand. The Springfield Republican says that nearly three-fourths of the roads built by foreign capi tal in countries to the south of the United States should be able to earn dividends, is a cheerful augury for capitalists here who are developing the railway system of the neighboring republic. The number of stockholders of tbe Chicago, Burlington Quincy road has increased 40 per cent, the past twelve mouths. March 15, 1883, there were 6,690 stockholders in the company registered in New York aud Boston, those In Boston being about four times In number those in New York. A year ago, or March 15, 1882, there were but 4,980. Evans Doane, lu their monthly financial cir cular, say: “There has never been a time when so great a number of people owned dividend-pay ing railroad stocks as now, or a time when these stocks have been more popular as an invest ment, aud the evidence of this fact is that every divideud-paymg railroad company has largely increased its number of stockholders the past year.” The general ticket'fegent of the Central Pacific road has requested the companies having agents at Ban Francisco to stop paying commissions. The Central Pacific and the Eastern trunk lines do not share iu the payment of these commis sions, consequently the losses have to be borne by the lines between the eastern termmus of the Central Paoitio aud the western tenniuks of the trunk lines. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Movements of Prominent Railway Men— Mr. Cassatt’s Future. T. A. Lewis, western manager of the Erie fast freight lines, will return from Chicago this morn ing. General Master Meohanio Turreff of the Bee line system, and D. M. Calkins, general baggage master, are m the city. H. B. Hammond, president of the Indianapo lis, Decatur Springfield Railroad Company, writes that lie will be in Indianapolis May 10, and remain for some (lays. M. P. Kelley, chief clerk of the White Line at Bt. Louis, has been appointed ageut of the Lack awanna Fast Freight Line at that poinr, making the seventh White Line chief clerk General Man ager Smith has gathered in. C. E. Henderson, general manager of the 1., B. and W., on Tuesday traveled over tbe Chesapeake A Ohio road,and is loud iu his praises of the excel lent condition of the roadbed aud tho general management of the property. D. T. McCabe, general freight agent, and J. A. Perkins, division freight agent of t'no Chicago, St. Louis A Pittsburg road, are this week passing over the five divisions, traveling on a special train aud stopping at every station to have a business chat with the agents. General freight agents who think it not their duty to v’sit their ageuts aud talk business may well draw a lesson from the above item. A Philadelphia exchange says that A. J. Cas satt will spend the Buuuner at his country resi dence near Ph.ludelnhia, and that it is iftriniated that he may accept the presidency of the Denver Rio Grande road. This position would allow htan to live in the East, and would only require an occasional day at the New York office. Tho salary would be about the same that he received as vice-president of the Pennsylvania. Mr. Cas satt is a large stockholder iu the Denver A Rio Grande, aud was elected a director while in Europe. Local Notes. Several largo blocks of Cleveland, Columbus. Cincinnati A Indianapolis stook have been sold at the recent advance in prices, and who the party is who is buying it is exciting consider able interest. Parties who are opposing the Lackawanna fast-freight line getting into Indianapolis and St. IjOiiJs, do not comprehend the power that is behind this line. They will get to both points, and will make it warm for competition for New England as well as New York business. The Jeffersonville, Madison A Indianapolis people are asking for more right of wav in the city of New Albany, and a bitter opposition to granting it has sprung up in the city council, they fearing it will kill the new bridge project over the Ohio river. Agents of the fast-freight lines which operate over the Louisville, Now Albany A Chicago road yesterday were notified by their respective gen eral managers that they could resume shipments of through freights east. The agents are great ly relieved that Commissioner Fink hasloosoned his grip. The Wabash, St. Louis A Pacific Railway Com pany hns notified its agents and connections that after May 1 It. will not accept as Its propor tion on business originating at or west of Buffa lo and Pittsburg, and prorate to any point reached by that liue, less thau three cents per 100 pounds. An nhsurd rumor that the Vandalla has been cutting east-bound rates has gained some cred ence, but General Freight Agent Hibbard laughs at such a statement And save, “What good would it do us to out rates when We are al ready away ahead of our percentage, and havo orders to turn over all we carry?” A few weeks since Chief Engineer Bench, of the Bee Line system, at Wellington, 0., put iu what he calls a derailment crossi?/, tho object of which is to prevent collisions at points where railroads cross each other. By tho Ingenious de vice one of the trains is thrown from Uro track before a collision occurs. One or two what might have been serious accidents have thus been prevented. Superintendents of railways and of express companys almost without exception report their business on tbe increase aud times better gener ally with them than at any corresponding period since 1879. April earnings are footiug up ahead of their expectations, and more especially is their revenue from local traffic highly satisfac tory. Superintendent Peabody, of the Ohio Mis sissippi road, Is boasting that the train laden with manufactured tobacco was run from Bt. Louis to Cincinnati in fourteen hours, leading all competitors. The average speed of the train was twenty-five miles per hour. The Vandalla and C\, 1., St. L. &C. got one car-load through, however, iu twelve hours. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis Chi cago people have taken the steel axles which were under their parlor cars out and substituted wrought-iron axles. The superintendent of roll ing stock says they were continuously troubled with hot boxes, and found it quite difficult to get brass soft enough to prevent friction when brought in contact with the steel axles. The attorneys of the Grecnsburg, Hope A Columbus road have decided to press the Su preme Court of ludiana to a decision on the questions at isaue between them and certain parties in Columbus who oppose paying the tax voted to the enterprise, as, should the matter hang fire a few months longer, the limit on which the road should be built to insure the subsidy voted will expire. An ex-railroad official,who yesterday rode over the Indianapolis <fc St. Louis division of the Bee Line system, pronounces the track, with the ex ception of eighteen miles between Mattoon and Charleston, to be in fine condition, and 100 per cent, better thau a year ago. He says the lavish expenditure of money on this line tbe iast eight een months is fully accounted for by the excel lent improvement in the property. NO TRAFFIC AGREEMENT YET MADE. The Journal has the authority of C. C. Waite, vice-president and general manager of the Cin cinnati, Hamilton Indianapolis road, for stat ing that no agreement for an interchange of passenger or freight traffic has been entered into betweer their man agement and that of the Chicago Indianapolis Air-line, nor is there likely to be until some ar rangement is made by which the Air line can get into tho Union Depot, or they (the C., H. &D. aud the L., N. A A C. join hands and build a union depot of their own. The Air-line, he said, was giving them a few cars daily for Cincinnati, and their interchange of freight business promised to be heavy whenever tho line was fully opened for business, but no joint tariff had yet been made, they pro-rating as they did with any other of their connections at Indianapolis.

Mr. W. C.

A Spasm of Virtue. Lewis Richter, a hoy, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Patrolman Hagedorn on the charge of gambling. Ills offense was “oontz” playing. The police seem to have no knowledge that there is any other gambling, and tho pro fessionals are permitted to operate with as much freedom as men engaged in legitimate business; hut the “oontz" boys must go. Temperance clergymen, lawyers and ladles, use Hop Bitters, they uouot intoxicate. OF COURSE. The Indian apolis Club Furnishes the Corpse for Another Wake--What the Ken tons Did for Them. The Indianapolis nine suffered the customary defeat at the hands of the Kentons, of Coving ton, Ky., yesterday afternoon, in tbe presence of a 6mall crowd. The features of the game were the excellent pitching of both Murphy and Reising and the good infieldlDg of Bucken berger, Peoples and Horn for the home club, and Crotty and Fortman for the visitors. Peltz was “way off,” and seven of the twelve errors were charged to him. Callahan also was in very bad shape and made two glaring errors which were responsible for four runs. In the fourth Inning after two men were out, the batter sent the ball along the foul line, and Callahan fumbled it, allowing tbe runner to reach his base. Four runs were piled up by a combina tion of lucky hits after this error, In palliation of Peltz’s seemingly poor work it is but just to say that he is not a catcher and makes no claim to any special excellence in that position. He came as a fielder, and ie a good one too, but catching is not his forte. Os the game the following is the summary: INDIANAPOLTS. A.B. R. In. P.O. A. E.

The new uniforms will be hero in time for uso in to-morrow's game. They consist of white shirts, pants and oaps, with a blue band around the latter, blue stockings and belts. They were made by Spaulding, at Chicago. Clifton has gone to Cincinnati to attend to some business, but will be back in time to play with thecluo against tbe Fort Waynes to-inor row. In that game Donnelly will pitch and Dorgan will catch for the first time since the ac cident to his hand last week. Peoples will play short-stop, and Murphy will play iu the field. The boys console themselves with the knowl edge that they out-batted the visitors yesterday, notwithstanding the adverse result of the game. Iu the seventh inning Horn made one of tho longest hits ever made on the grounds, and made the complete circuit of the bases, bringing in two men besides himself. Pendleton, third baseman for the Kentons, could have stopped it with proper exertion, but evidently preferred allowing an error to be placed opposite his name to ohancing a broken hand in the effort to do so.
