Mr. Randall, who has been over to Al

■with the Pennsylvania boys, will have
his hands full for the next week or two.
Our humorous contemporary, the Mem
phis Appeal, says that Field, or any other

having a boom in ISS4 is a pretty good
joke.
Several eases of lead poisoning, caused

It is difficult to see how a Republican
convention can lie held without Col. Bob
lusrersoll. Perhaps, however, he can be
induced to run over to Chicago and pri
vately give the members the benefit of his
pious counsel.
The Philadelphia fifties says the tail of
the Democratic majority is wagging the
dog in the most heartless way. The
Times evidently slipped. It certainly did
not intend to call the clique it admires so
much "dog-tail.”
The President of Spanish Honduras has
sent an agent to this country to invite
American manufacturers to establish
works in that republic, and to present the
great advantages that are offered there
for the investment of capital.
So lar as has been noticed, not one of the
Republican district conventions have re
solved that this is a nation with a big
or that negro should not be spelled with
two -g's.” The Republicans should
have the courage of their convictions.
This is Mr. Keely’s last day of grace
for the trial of his motor, according to
his own announcement. If he can't
adjust and focalize the vibrators by him
self, he might get some valuable assis

If the English government Is not goiug
to take any immediate and vigorous steps
to relieve Gen. C hinese Gordon it might
at least send a diplomatic note to the
Fals Prophet, informing him that Gor
don's proclamations were all meant in a
Pickwickian sense.
A telegram from Pittsburg says that
the Pennsylvania wool growers have
called a convention to meet in that city
on the 17th inst. It may be proper to
state that this move has no connection
with the convention of colored men re
cently beid in Pittsburg.
No doubt the reason the New York So
cialist meeting did not result in a riot
is that the mob was so amused at the
sorry figure cut by the police that all
resentment was forgotten. If the reseni
mentoftlie Cincinnati rioters had taken
the same turn that city would have had
cause for rejoicing.
What manutacturing will do in llie way
of building up a city is exemplified in the
case of Chattanooga. In 1870 that city
had only a population of 0,000; now it
has 24,000 people. It is stated that the
manufacturing capital has increased fifty
per cent, in three years, much of it com
ing from the North.
On the motion to suspend the rules and
take up the Converse bill to increase the
duty on wool, the Georgia members voted
as follows: In the affirmative, Mr.
Nicholls; in the negative, Messrs. Blount, ,
Buchanan, Crisp, Hammond. Reese and j
Turner; not voting, Messrs. Candler, 1
Clements and Hardeman.
Pennsylvania Democrats have indorsed
Randall for the Presidency, and declared !
in favor of protection. It' Mr. Randall \
could give sonic assurance of catrying •
Pennsylvania he might have a bare I
chance at Chicago. Doubtless his opposi- ;
tion to the Morrison bill is strengthened I
by the buzzing of the Presidential bee.
Anew submarine war ship which has
recently been built at Stockholm is to be
carried to France for further experiments.
It is 64 feet long and is propelled by a 30-
horse power engine. Those whe have
studied the history of submarine torpedo
boat experiments during tfie late war be
tween the States will not be favorably
impressed with this invention.
Governor Rusk, of Wisconsin, who has
been traveling in the South, says that the
Republicans can hope for no electoral
votes from this section, lie thinks the
people are ripe for a political change, but
that the Republicans lack leaders. Gov.
Rusk could not have become acquainted
with the Georgia Republicans. Leaders
are about the only thing they have in
abundance in this State.
The Pennsylvania Republicans in some
of the districts were afraid to trust their
delegates to follow instructions, and re
quired them to give written pledges that
they would support Blaine at Chicago.
It will doubtless soon become necessary
in the party of great moral ideas to re
quire delegates to give bond and security
for the performance of their duties as laid
down by the conventions.
The question now is will, Seuator Ma
hone put himself on the stand to contro
vert the damaging testimony given
against him and his methods by Mr.
Dezendorf? It is hard to see how he can
refrain from presetlting his side of the
case, yet it will requre moral courage
and talent of a high order to stand the
cross-examination to which he will be
submitted if he goes on the stand.
The Civil Service Commission has been
called on by the Postmaster General to
hold a special examination of candidates
for a clerkship—-the clerk to be a female
who can speak one of the Scandinavian
languages. As none of the commission
ers know anything about Scandinavian,
the examination will doubtless have to be
conducted by proxy. The question is,
will such an examination be a compliance
with the law?
The government is negotiating for the
purchase of the sword General Washing
ton wore when he resigned his commis
sion at Annapolis. It is one of the three
swords which he left to his nephews. In
view of the general untruthfulness of the
politicians of the present age, the gov
ernment should spare no pains to dis
cover the Washington hatchet, and should
have it hung up in the eapitol as an em
blem of veracity.
Tariff Reformers in Earnest.
Mr. Morrison wiil call up his tariff bill
next Tuesday. Whether be will succeed
in getting the House to consider it is a
question concerning which there is a good
deal of speculation. Those who tried to
create the impression that Mr. Morrison
had become disheartened, and would not
attempt to get the bill before the House
until late In the session, if at all, were
not well informed if they were
sincere. It is doubtful if Mr. Morrison
and the other tariff reform leaders in the
House have hesitated a moment about
pursuing the course which they marked
out at the beginning of the session. They
have met with unforeseen obstacles, per
haps, which caused delays, but they have
not weakened in their purpose. They
know that the Democratic party owes its
majority in the House to its tariff reform
policy, and they also know that the
party expects that policy to be car
ried out so far as it is in the
power of the party to carry It out. The
argument of the Randall faction of the
party that It is useless to pass a bill re
ducing the tariff because it will meet
with defeat in the Senate is hardly
worth a moment's consideration. As Mr.
Carlisle, In a late interview, said, how is
it possible to know what tne Senate will
do before a bill is sent to it? The
Republicans are anxious, no
doubt, to keep up the impression
that the Senate will refuse to consider a
bill reducing the tariff, because they don’t
want the Senate placed in the position of
being compelled to decide whether It will
reduce the tariff or not. If no tariff bill
ts passed by the House the Republicans
can, and no doubt will, say that being in
the minority in that branch of Congress
in which revenue bills must originate
they could do nothing toward reducing
the tariff, and that the Democrats, al
though professing to be in fa
vor of tariff reduction, gave
them no chance to show what they would
do. If the Morrison bill should pass the
House, the Republicans would occupy a
very undesirable position. The President,
in his message, said the tariff ought to be
reduced; the Secretary of the Treasury,
iu his last report, said it ought to he re
duced, and an annual surplus of revenue
of nearly $100,000,000 proves that it ought
to be reduced. In the face of this array of
evidence in favor of the bill the Senate
would have difficulty in finding reasons
for defeating it. The Republicans would
not find it easy, in the national contest, to
convince the people that the action of the
Senate was in their interest. But it is
not for the purpose of placing the Repub
lican party in an awkward position that
the tariff reformers are urging tariff re
duction. They are urging it because it
is right, because it is the policy of the
Democratic party, and because the i>eo
ple are entitled to it. Why should the
people pay war taxes in time of peace?
Why should they lie robbed under the
forms of law to enrich monopolies and in
crease the revenues many millions
beyond the needs of the government. Mr.
Morrison, Mr. Carlisle, and these acting
with them, propose that the people shall
have relief. If they don’t succeed next
Tuesday, they will keep op trying. They
will at least succeed in convincing the
people that they are in earnest.
The Responsibility l'or the Ikiss of
t he Steamer Steiiiniaiin.
The testimony respecting the loss of the
steamer Daniel Steinmann, near Sambro
Island, leaves no doubt that the Captain
was to blame for the disaster. In the
opinion of the pilots who are familiar with
the coast he had no excuse for attempting
to enter Halifax harbor under the cir
cumstances which prevailed. There was
a dense fog and a southeasterly gale at the
time which made the attempt extremely
perilous. The Captain claims that he
mistook the Sambro light for that on
< 'bedabucto Head. If he had been right in
It is calculations he would have been at
least five miles away from the dangerous
rocks. The pilots, however, say that he
ought to have known that the light he
saw was not the Cbedabueto light, be
cause it was impossible to have seen that
light so far in such a storm and fog. A
careful navigator would have laid off
shore and waited for the storm to abate
and the fog to rise when he found himself
in doubt as to his locality and knew that
he was in imminent danger. The Captain
of the Steinmann, however, instead of act
ing with prudence atid caution, pushed
ahead, taking the chances o"f running his
vessel on the rocks. He says that he
hoped to run across a pilot near the shore.
This statement is disproved by the pilots,
who say that any Captain of any ex
perience would have known that no pilot
boat could live on the sea on so tempestu
ous a night. More than a hundred lives
were lost by the Captain’s unskillful sea
manship and want of judgment. This is
the second terrible ocean disaster within
a short time, the responsibility for which
has been placed upon the Captain of the
lost vessel.
The Civil Service Commission.
A few of the Republican organs pre
tend to fear that the Democrats will make
no appropriation lor the support of the
Civil Service Commission. What they
really fear is that there will be an ample
appropriation made. They would like
nothing better than to have the House
refuse to make au appropriation for the
salaries of the Civil Service Commission.
They wouldn't want any better campaign
material. They will not, however, have
the opportunity of saying that after hav
ing proposed the civil service law the
Democrats made it inoperative by starving
the Commission. An appropriation will
undoubtedly be made sufficient to meet its
requirements. Judge Holman is the
Chairman of the sub-committee which has
charge of the civil service appropriation,
and whether he believes in civil service
reform or not it is certain that the House
does, and it will take good care that the
necessary appropriation is made for it.
The law is not popular with the politi
cians, but it is with the people. As long
as the people are satisfied with it the
politicians are too wise to attempt to an
nul it.
Political sins are usually soon for
gotten. Just as the Republican masses
in some sections were beginning to laud
Blaine as a model statesman, the New
York Eveuinq Post, a Republican journal
of the most respectable order, supporting
Senator Edmunds,dives into some reminis
cences that will no doubt force the
plumed knight on the defensive, and so
distroy the elan of his henchmen. It
revives the story of Blaine’s actiou as
Speaker of the House with reference to
the Little Rock and Fort Smith land
grant; his offer to sell Warren Fisher one
lialf of one-twenty-fourth interest in the
Northern Pacific Railroad immediately
after Jay Cooke’s contract had been per
fected by additional legislation; also his
refusal to surrender to witness Mulligan
certain letters which were supposed to
compromise him. He is accused of pur
suing a sensational and theatrical policy
while Secretary of State, and of being
now the greatest master of packing poli
tical conventions in the country. Per
haps, however, the Republican party will
take Blaine as its candidate on the promise
that be will settle the charges made
against him in the second volume ol his
book.
It is rather a curious fact that, al
though Texas claims to be as great a
wool-raising State as Ohio, the entire
Texas delegation in the House, with the
exception of Mr. Ochiltree, who did not
vote, voted against the bill of Mr. Con
verse to increase the wool tariff. Are not
the Texas Congressmen as able to judge
what is best for their constituents as the
Ohio Congressmen are for their con
stituents ? The Texas Congressmen think
that an increase in the price of wool
would not be an advantage to Texas, and
they are right. It would not be an ad
vantage to the people of Ohio, but the
Ohio Congressmen, with the exception of
Frank Hurd, can’t be made to believe it.
It is noticeable that Massachusetts and
Connecticut contributed ten votes against
the bill. New England is beginning to
feel the necessity for free raw materials.
Gen. George B. McClellan is accused of
being in favor of the old ticket—of 1864.
The charge is hardly true. Little Mac
certainly knows that ticket is barred by
the statute of limitations.
The Confederate Home Movement.
In an interview in Tuesday’s New
York Herald, relative to the animosi
ties that grew out of the war,
Gen. J. B. Gordon, in answer to
the question “Do the old memories still
linger?” said: “Well, practically no.
They have gone out. Of course there is a
deep respect still for those who fought
and suffered in the war, but there is no
more feeling now between a Southerner
and a Northerner than there is between a
Scotchman and an Englishman, because
one is Scotch and the other English. And
if anything did remain”-here Gen. Gor
don spoke with deep feeling and impres
siveness—“l should look confidently to
this new movement so generously taken
up by the Grand Army for the erection of
a home for disabled Confederate soldiers.
The Grand Army has behaved nobly,
nobly, and this action will go to the very
heart of all the South.”
It is indeed gratifyi-g to the people of
the South that the Grand Army of the Re
public has shown such willingness to lend
a helping hand to this movement to estab
lish a home for disabled Confederate sol
diers. The disabled Union soldiers have
been provided with homes and peusions.
They have been well eared lor by a gen
erous government. The disabled Confed
erate soldiers have had some help from
their respective States, but so little that
it is hardly worth mentioning. This
movement to establish a home will
result in making the remaining
days of a few of them comfortable. If the
effort to establish one home meets with
success other homes, doubtless, will be
opened in other parts ot the South. The
Southern people are rapidly recovering
from the ruin wrought by the war, and
every year will be able to contribute a
larger amount to assist towards helping
to provide for disabled Confederate vet
erans. The readiness whieh the Grand
Army ol the Republic has shown to assist
in this work is certain to excite sympathy
and gain assistance for it in the North.
Reconciliation between the two sections
has already takeu place, but this Confed
erate home movement, if properly man
aged, will tend to draw the people of the
Nortli and South, in sentiment and feel
ing, closer together than ever. The
movement, therefore, promises to accom
plish two things, both of which are com
mendable and to be desired,
An interesting question concerning the
liability of steamship companies is soon
to come up before the courts of New
York. The wife of Mr. Anthony O'Don
nell, of Pittsburg, recently died on board
a steamer between Liverpool and New
York. The immediate cause of her death
was heart disease. Mr. O'Donnell pro
poses to sue the owners of the ship for
damage, on the ground that her death was
caused by the negligence of the company.
He charges that her illness, which lasted
several days, was caused from sea
sickness, and that neither the officers,
the stewardess nor the surgeon gave her
the least attention. The general charge
is made by the press that the medical
service of the transatlantic steamers is
wretched in the extreme. That the sur
geons have no rank among the crew, and
that their salaries rarely exceed SSO per
month. Whatever the result of the pro
posed suit may be from a legal point of
view, no doubt public sentiment will soon
require a reformation in this matter.
The Philadelphia Record makes the fol
lowing impertinent comment on the re
cent decision of the Supreme Court in
reference to the admission of wearing ap
parel free of duty: “The Supreme Court
of the United States has decided that a
man who is accustomed to having more
than one pair of breeches may bring a
second pair home with him front a foreign
country without paying duty on them,
even if he has not worn them, and so with
his wife’s petticoats. But the poor devil
and his wife, who are not accustomed to
having new clothes, must pay duty on
what they don’t wear; they cannot bring
into the country more than their ordinary
supply. The tariff is no respecter of per
sons. To him who hath it winketh at his
abundance; to him who hath not it in
sisteth upon his poverty; and declareth
extra breeches a smuggle.”
The oleomargarine makers in New York
have drawn up a vigorous protest against
the placing of lurther restrictions on the
manufacture and sale of their products.
They protest that the only wrong devel
oped in the recent investigations in that
city was that retailers often sold the
bogus butter for the genuine article. A
bill protecting the oleomargarine indus
try is prayed for, but what specific pro
tection is desired is not stated.
If the Mexican rulers will read the his
tory ol the American colonies they will
see that a stamp tax caused a pretty big
riot over a hundred years ago.
CURRENT COMMENT.
At Least One Boat Needed.
Montgomery -l dcertiHer [Dem.).
Our dignified Congress—or at least a portion
of it—seems still impressed with the idea that
we are in need of a navy.thongh there isquite a
diversity of opinion as'to the manner in which
it is to be obtained, or what use it is to be put
to. There ought to be at least one good ves
sel to transport certain officials about at pub
lic expense.
The Colored Man Tabooed.
Xeic York Sun ( Ind.).
The colored voters in the Republican party
have long had reason to complain of the treat
ment which they have received from the
white members of that party. Sortli and
South alike, the white Republicans have
given their colored allies little else than the
proud privilege of supporting the party can
didates. ft is seldom that those candidates are
colored men.
A Thin Excuse.
Detroit Free Press [Den i.).
Just as wheat has fallen to prices scarcely
known for twenty years, the manufacturers of
barbed wire have advanced the price of it
ten per cent., aud threaten’a further advance
in May. The reason assigned is the increased
cost of the raw material. The farmer who in
this cannot see a reason for a reduction of the
tariff on raw material, ought to sit ou a barbed
wire fence until he does.
A Galling Charge.
l.ouitrille Courier-Journal ( Dem.).
There is not a newspaper in the country,
calling itself Democratic, yet leaning toward
protection, which lias not some connection
with protected monopoly. It is either a cot
ton factory or an iron foundry, ora coal mine,
or something or other, which has its hook in
the tariff. Of course the Republican press is
for protection. Thus the people are left with
comparatively few organs and must rely upon
themselves.
A Grain of Consolation.
Washington Post [Dem .).
Most persons will agree with ex-Congress
raan Dezendorf that had Hancock been suc
cessful Malione would have been an enthusi
astic Democrat. It is an ill wind that blows
nobody good, and so long as Hancock was not
elected there is some satisfaction in the reflec
tion that his defeat relieved the Democratic
party from Mahone by inducing him to seek
more congenial companionship than honest
Democratic society afforded.

A notable feature of the upward turn in

The New Jersey railroad tax bill is now

The Exposition Cotton Mills of Atlanta,
Ga., reports net earnings for its first six
months' operations, ending with March 31, of
8 per cent. Four per cent, of this was paid
in dividends and the remainder placed to the

in the cotton industry, the directors exhibit a
pardonable pride in boasting of the result.
The steamer City of Dallas, at New Orleans,
from British Honduras, reports that the

Westerly gales last December blew down
most of the banana stalks on that coast, con

The establishment of a silk culture bureau
is the object of a bill recently introduced in
the Senate. In its organization will lie em
braced five silk culture stations: One in each
of the States of Pennsylvania, Alabama,

provides for an appropriation of $150,000 to
wards experimental investigations into the
best methods of rearing the silk worm, and of
treating the silk from its condition on the
cocoon till it leaves the loom.
At a recent meeting of the Church Temper
ance Society in New York a speaker sought
to impress his audience with some startling
statistics of the liquor traflic: “There are in
this land,’’ he said, “over 5,000 distilleries and
over 3,000 breweries: more than 7,000 whole
sale establishments distribute the product of
these places, and 161.000 retail houses sell it
to the people; 725.000 people are engaged in
its manufacture and sale, and it wastes an
nually 40,000.000 bushels of grain. Imagine
this grain in a train of cars, and it would ex
tend over a track 909 miles long, or two trains
reaching from New York to Niagara.”
The recent occurrence of April Fool's day
suggests that more people fool themselves on
that occasion by being too cautious than are
deceived by being toocoutiding. When anew
ferrvboat at Boston made its trial trip on
Tuesday invitations were sent out by the com
pany, summoning divers prominent citizens
to be present. Some came, not suspecting any
hoax, hut more did not, being too old birds to
lie eaitght in any such trap. The result was
that the simple'ones went on the excursion
and had a fine time, while those who were
more astute, remaining in their homes con
gratulating themselves on their sagacity, lost
the excursion.
It is related concerning Mr. Tennyson that
he had just gone to live near Blackdown, and
one night he lost his way while rambling
a'nout. A woman standing at the door of a
cottage did her best to se t him right,and in do
ing so described one corner of his own house,
saying: "You will see it as you turn the corner
bv a clump of yew trees. ‘Some one’s come to
live ttiere from Lunnon. They say he’s a
queer ’n. He’s a actor, or does wfitin’ or
summat o'that sort; blit he’s a queer’ll, ’e
is. He goes about more like a beggar nor
anythin’else." “Oh,” said Tennyson, “have
you seen him?" "No. I can’t say’as I’ve seen
im; but that’s what I hear. He goes atxiut
just for all like a beggar.”
It is not very often that a wedding party,
after gayly celebratiug the nuptial ceremony,
spend the night at the lock-up. Such, how
ever, was lately the case with a noce that
took place at Cliehy. After the weddingban
quet the entire party determined to go for a
ride, and soon started out in a light van.
They appear to have driven a little recklessly,
for while spinning along one of the most
crowded avenues in the neighborhood they
upset a policeman, fortunately without hurt
ing him much, but by way of mending matters
they began to abuse him roundly, and even
threatened him. This was more than a
policeman’s patience could stand, so the
whole party were taken in charge and placed
in durance vile until the next morning.
Officer Walsh found a little boy wander
ing about the County wharf, foot of Broad
way, in Baltimore, a few nights ago, and took
him to the Eastern police station. He was a
fair-lialred, rosy-eheeked child, neatly
dressed, but without a hat. He could speak
no English, but when questioned in German
said his name was Bernard Akenau, and that
he lived on May street. He was given in
charge of Officer Spohr, who made him a bed
on one of the settees in the watch-room.
When the little fellow had lain down lie col
lected himself aud said in German, “I have
not prayed yet,” and then made the sign of
the eross. clasped his hands in front of his
breast, raised his eyes upward and began his
childish petition. Three reporters and two
policemen bowed their heads until the little
fellow again made the sign of the cross at the
conclusion of his prayer. Then a reporter
tucked a policeman’s coat around the child,
who dropped off into his sleep of innocence.

No wonder spring poetry is bad this year.
Spring is an awfully hard subject to get any
poetry out of. But wc suppose something is
expected and we’ll try:—
Hail, horrid Spring! Hail, Itain and Snow!
Then let thy blustering blizzards blindly blow!
Let chilling clouds shut out the cheerful sun.
And stop small boys from having any fun.
The rubber dealers smile in merry mood,
From seeming evil still educing good.
For morn, wet-eyed, appears, mother of dews,
And bids us not forget our rubber shoes.

An Ohio Man’* Invention.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Charlie Kugle, an ingenious fellow in
Barnesville, 0., has constructed a sheet
iron hen that promises to lay him a golden
egg. It is finished up to life, full size,
cackles, clucks and looks with one eye at
a time so naturally that it will deceive
the oldest hen-hawk in the county. It is
so arranged that when a hawk, "mink or
polecat pounces on to it the back springs
open, and the wings fly up and force the
assailant on to a ravenous buzz-9aw that
makes LRW revolutions per minute. After
moving half a minute the saw stops, the
hen closes up, folds its wings, and begins
to cackle as though it had just laid an
egg. One winding-up will answer for
three massacres, providing the rather
delicate machinery does not get .clogged
up with too much blood, oones and feath
ers. He set a freshly painted one out in
the sun to dry last Wednesday, which at

longing to a doctor who had been poking

REPEATEDLY ROBBED.
Experience of a Rich Old Farmer Who
Placed Neither Faith nor Money in
Banks.
Isaac Steele, a farmer living near Pe
trolia, Pa., says an Olean, N. Y., special
to the World , made a large tortune some
years ago from petroleum found on his
property. He is an old man and lives
with his wife and daughter. Having no
faith in banks it has been his custom to
keep from SBO,OOO to SIOO,OOO stowed away
in different places about his house. Five
or six years ago he had the latter sum
locked up in a number of boxes. One
day he was examining his treasures and
found it mouldy. He' took the bills from
their boxes and spread them out in a field
to dry. This singular proceeding became
noised about the neighborhood and people
flocked from all directions to witness the
novel spectacle of a fortune scattered
about. For two days the money was thus
exposed, guarded by the old farmer and
his wife, daughter and hired man. It was
then returned to its hiding places in the
house.
Three nights afterwards Steele woke
up and found tlffee masked men in his
room, who seized the old man and his
wife, and bound and gagged them.
While searching for money about the
house they were frightened by the ap
pearance of Steele’s hired man, who had
been to Petrolia. The robbers fled, hav
ing secured SI,OOO.
One night in April, 1881, three masked
men broke into Steele’s house again. Mrs.
Steele was knocked unconscious and the
hired man driven into a bedroom at the
point of the pistol. Both Steele and his
daughter were soon overpowered, but not
before they had torn the masks trom the
faces of two of their assailants and recog
nized James James and William Mac
donald, two well known residents of the
neighborhood. The noise of the struggle
aroused a neighboring family and the
robbers fled. James and Macdonald were
arrested next day and were sentenced to
live years in State's prison.
Every one then supposed that Steele
would put his wealth iu a place of safety
after the second warning. Still Steele
stubbornly refused to bank his money.
Only a few days ago an acquaintance of
his found fhe old farmer sitting in his
kitchen, while the floor, table and Chairs
were covered with bank bills, which he
was drying again. There were $45,000 in
the lot. On Saturday the news arrived
that masked burglars had once more vis
ited Steele's house on Thursday night,
and after binding and gagging the family
succeeded in finding $5,000 before being
frightened away. Their identity is not
known. It is said that Steele has at last
decided to intrust his wealth to a bank.
THEY MIXED THOSE BABIES UP.
A Oueer Case Which is Pnzzllug the
New York Lawyers.
Thex’urious examination as to the iden
tity of a two-year-old baby which Mrs. Sa
villar Downing says is her child,and which
was secreted from her by its father, Forest
S. Downing, and which others say is Carlos
Wilson, born three months before Savil
lar’s baby, says a New York special of
the 7th inst. to the Philadelphia Times,
was continued to-day. Lawyer Secor,
who contests the claim, alleges that the
baby is really Carlos Wilson, and that
Mrs. Downing’s baby died and was buried.
Mrs. Downing’s lawyer says that the baby
that was buried was a girl and not Mrs.
Downing’s baby at all, but another baby
painted otf upon her by the instigation of
her alleged husband, with whom she has
not lived since the birth of her child. Dr.
Waterburn, w-ho attended both babies at
the house of Mrs. Diener, where they
were born, thought the baby in court was
Carlos Wilson. He then examined the
baby, which objected strenuously, 14111!
became quite uncertain as to which baby
it was.
Mrs. Dieuer was recalled. She said she
had observed that Mrs. Downing’s child
had very small middle toes. She was
sure the child in court was not that child.
Then the baby was examined again, and
it cried. According to one observer—the
father of live children, including twins—
the middle toes were unusually small.
The examination of Mrs. Diener went on,
and she persisted in her story. Mrs.
Downing’s lawyer tried to get her to ad
mit that the baby in court bad lumps on
bis head like the lumps on Mrs. Downing’s
baby. Then the baby was again examined
and again wept. It will be examined
some more on Wednesday.
HOW CETYWAYO DIED.
Buried Sitting Upright In a Square
Box.
On Friday, the Bth inst., (February,) at
11 a. m., a messenger arrived at Mr. Os
born’s, says a letter from Ekowe to the
Natal Mercury, iniorming him that Cety
wayo bad just been taken ill. At 2p. m.
another messenger came, stating that the
King was growing worse. He was then
under the care of a native doctor. Mr.
Osborn asked the messenger whether
Cetywayo would like a white doctor to
attend him, and the King’s reply was
“Yes.” Mr. Osborn then sent over to the
camp for Dr. Scott, who on going to the
King found that he must have been dead
about an hour and a half. The doctor
wished to have a post-mortem exam
ination of the botlv, but this
the natives refused." All the
King’s relations had by tins time collec
ted in the kraal, and received the tidings
in silence. The body was then tied to a
pole, in a sitting position, according to
Zulu custom. Next morning all the chiefs
came to Mr. Osborn for a coffin, which
was made ; it was a box three feet square,
covered with black cloth. The body was
at once put in it, in a sitting position, the
men singing all the while. I suppose the
body will be removed to Mahlabatini,
where it will be buried in proper Zulu
style in about a month from to-day. All
the wives, girls and men whom the late
King liked would be massacred and buried
beside him, but I hope the English will
put a stop to such proceedings. Four wo
men are now sitting beside the body
weeping night and day. It is hardly ne
cessary to state that very few are not
sorry that this has happened.
FOLGER AS A LANDLORD.
Where Bliss Boarded In Washidgton.
Secretary Folger, it appears from the
testimony of George Bliss, ekes out his
official salary by keeping a boarding
house. This point was brought out in
the examination of a special board bill.
It appears that Bliss did not always stop
at the Arlington Hotel when he was in
Washington. During the months of Jan
uary and February, 1883, he lived at a
private house, and the following bills for
that period occur in the book of accounts
in tbe hands of the committee:
George Bliss, Dr.—To board from January 1
to February 1, $lB3 86. Received payment.
Frank Sperry.
George Bliss. Dr.—To lioard from February
Ito March 1, $164 73. Received payment.
Frank SrERRY.
Mr. Springer asked Bliss who Sperry
was. and if he kept a regular boarding
house. Bliss hesitated a little in his re
ply, and then he said:
“I was at Folger’s house. I staid with
him during these two months, and those
bills represent my share of the mess ex
penses. Frank Sperry is Folger’s pri
vate secretary. He really had nothing to
do with it.”
“But why did not Folger sign the
vouchers?”
“Oh, I suppose he thought It would
look better to have Sperry sign them,”
answered Bliss.
The Alleged Pope’s Toe.
Pome Letter.
The bronze statue of St. Peter is a very
fine one, and I saw men, women aud chil
dren walk up to it and kiss the projecting
toe. Some came reverently with prayers
and clasped hands, others in a business
like way, and one tall, gray-haired man
paused with a prayer-book at each step
from the outer door to the statue, then
bowing a moment with the deepest hu
mility he drew out a clean handkerchief,
wiped the toe and reverently pressed his
lips upon it, prayed a moment, kissed it
again and departed. A little girl who
could not, reach it with her lips kissed the
end of her finger and touched it. We
went up to it also, but I fear not so dev
votionally, to see it. The tbe is consider
ably worn away, although it has been
once or twice renewed, and is highly pol
ished by the repeated wiping it receives
before being kissed. One or two among
us touched it with our lingers, but as
soon as we were gone from it a priest wet
it with holy water and wiped off the here
tic’s touch.
A Case for Fatalists.
London Truth
Here is a case for fatalists, psycholo
gists and such like individuals:" Two
Parisian workmen quarreled the other
day, and one stabbed the other to death.
When the dead man’s body was examined
it was found to be very extensively tat
tooed with many curious devices. The
most remarkable "was a serpent depicted
on his breast with its head upraised as
if to strike his heart. Under the serpent
was inscribed the singular motto: “Le
passe m’a trompe, le'present me tour
mente, l’avenir m’epouvante.” The mark
of the fatal stab is exactly under the
words “le present me tourmente.” What
the moral of this incident may be I know
not, but perhaps the Psychical Society
will be good enough to deduce one. I may
add that the tattooed portions of skin
were cut from the man’s body and sent
for preservation to the ghastly chamber
of horrors at the Prefecture of Police,
•where the relics of all sorts of crimes are
kept in a sort of museum. ,
EVER HAVE RHEUMATISM?
Another Sure Cure—in a Down Easter’s
Mind.
Mew Betlfard Mercury.
‘•Ever have rheumatism ?” said he in
terrogatively.
I signified that up to date rheumatism
was one of the ills of humanity from which
I had been exempt.
He was disappointed, for then he knew
I was not an appreciative listener. But
a necessity was upon him to tell his story,
and I was good natured enough to give
him a chance.
“Because,” he continued, “I have the
best thing to cure rheumatism, and it you
should ever be troubled in that way, it
will be worth a fortune to you. It won’t
cost you a cent, either. And it’s a sure
cure.’ You must cut all your nails. Take
the parings, tie them u*r> in a linen rag
with a linen string, go find a white oak
tree, make a hole in it, put in the package,
plug up the hole with a white oak plug,
go and leave it, aud that is the end of your
rheumatism.”
What could I do but laugh ?
“Ob, well,” he said, “you are one of
those fellows that never believes any
thing, but I know what I am talking
about. I had a friend who tried this
cure, and it did the business for him.
His rheumatism left him.”
I said I was really very glad for the
man.
“But,” continued he, “there is one
mighty curious thing about this business.
If the tree is cut down, back comes the
rheumatism. That’s the way my friend
was served. He had, as he thought, got
nicely over this complaint, when, one
day, the old enemy again attacked him.
He hobbled out and found that his white
oak tree had disappeared. So he re
peated the process and again found re
lief.”
A Generous Senator.
Washington Letter.
While talking with Senator Wade
Hampton last evening a daughter of the
late Reverdy Johnson came up with an
autograph album in her hand. This book
was for the names only of United States
Senators. The purpose of this ladv is to
raise a little contribution towards the
founding of a hospital for helpless
Southern soldiers at Richmond, a work so
laudable that it would be like an offense
to argue the duty and glory of it. This
book is to be sold when filled to anv one
who will pay the most for it. Each Sena
tor has subscribed $5. But the one thing
which the beautiful lady with radiant
face came in haste to tell Hampton was
this: One United States Senator—was he
from the North? was he from the South?
the East or the West? it was a secret,
and a precious one and sacred—this
Senator modestly set down the little $5,
not willing to be known as giving more
than some of his fellow Senators who are
not rich, and then slyly handed her a
check large enough to s'et two decimals to
the right. Ah! there is heart in this
world alter all, and don’t you despair for
humanity.
An Earthquake at Orchilla.
Capt. John Holt, of the ship David
Stewart, which arrived on Saturday lrom
Orchilla with guano, says the Baltimore
Sun of the 7th inst., reports that while
lying at Orchilla the island was visited
by two shocks of earthquake. The first
was experienced at 10:20 a. m. on March
2. Capt. Holt says he was in the Super
intendent’s office on the island, which
made a very perceptible move at the time.
Those on the ship thought she had struck
bottom. On March 4 another shock was
lelt. Capt. Holt, at the suggestion of
Capt. I). R. Barrett, Jr., Superintendent
of Orchilla, made soundings' of the har
bor before leaving, as it was feared the
earthquake had made some change in the
bottom. A buoy was placed to mark the
shoalest part found. When three miles
outside the harbor the Stewart struck
heavily against a rock, which caused her
to leak the entire passage. The rock
must have been heaved up by the earth
quake, as it is on no chart. It was three
miles off' the harbor, the east point of
which bore east southeast and the west
point west by south.
