The Scrgeant-at-Arms of the Senate ap
pears to be managing the patronage of

with a frequency that takes away the
breath of some of the Senators whose
friends have lost their places. Some
weeks ago be appointed anew assistant
keeper of the document room, and then
began to boast that he would soon take
the scalp of the Superintendent. The Su
perintendent, Mr. Anzi Smith, is, perhaps,
the most popular employe of Congress.
He is a prize and Senators wouldn’t
know how to get along without him. He
knows every document that has been be
fore the Senate apparently for the last
half century, and when any record is
called for he can put his hands on it at
onec. The Senators concluded that they
would checkmate the Sergeant-aUArms.
They consulted together and decided to
increase Mr. Smith’s salary several hun
dred dollars and to name him in the ap
propriation bill as the payee of it. They
carried out their determination and,
while the SergeanUat-Arms can turn Mr.
Smith out of his place, Mr. Smith alone
can draw the salary.
The Fertilizer Question.
It is the almost universally accepted
theory, whether correct or not, that farm
ing cannot be successfully conducted in
the South Atlantic States without the use
of commercial fertilizers. This, coupled
with the fact that heretofore these ferti
lizers have cost the farmer more than
they were worth to him, has been the
main cause of the slow development of
the agricultural interests in many sec
tions and of their actual retrogression in
others.
When a ton ot ordinary superphosphate
is bought on credit, transported to the
larm and put in the drill the average cost
to the tarmer is fifty dollars, or 25 per
cent, more than the average price of a
bale of cotton. The demand for cheaper
fertilizers will no doubt be met before
many years. Good brands can now be
bought at the factories in large lots at from
S2O to S3O a ton cash, according to quality.
It is iikelv that in a very few years the
bulk of the manufacturing of fertilizers
will be done very near the immense phos
phate beds of the South Carolina and
Georgia coast. With improved facilities
for handling, the phosphatic rocks can be
raised and delivered to the mills as
cheaply as coal can be mined and sold, at
say $4 to $5 i>er ton. The chemicals and
manipulation ought not to cost more
than $lO per ton for a high grade fertil
izer. This, of course, would require
everything to be bought in large quanti
ties from first bands for cash, and the
best of machinery anl facilities. Allow
ing for reasonable profits, the fertilizer
mills of the future will most probably be
able to sell acid phosphates at sl2 to sls,
and super-phosphates at from $lB to $3)
per ton for cash. This would eiffible
fanners living within an average of
twenty miles of the mills to have the fer
tilizers put in the ground at from $24 to
s2> per ton, or one-half w hat it now costs
them under the credit system and with
the factories nearly a thousand miles from
their fields.
The phosphatic rock alone now costs
the manufacturers of Charleston about
$lO per ton, and those of Baltimore about
sl2. This item and the disadvantages of
the credit system, the want of improved
facilities for manutacturing and handling
the materials and the return freights, are
sufficient to bring the cost of commercial
fertilizers pretty nearly up to what they
are sold at now. Think ot it—one-hall
of the millions that are now aunuaily
paid for fertilizers in the South Atlantic
States going to the items of extortionate
cost of the phosphate rock, unnecessary
freights, and the risks involved in the
credit system. The moral is obvious.
The Ku Klux Klan.
The Century for July contains a very
interesting article on the origin, growth
and disbandment of the Ku Klux Klan.
According to this account the name, Ku
Klux Klan. was first spoken in the town
of Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1866. A party
of young men who had little to do, and
who found the time hanging rather heavily
on their hands, determined to form a club
for amusement. They bad not the re
motest idea what they should do to amuse
themselves when they first met and a name
for their proposed club had not been sug
gested. They finally decided to find their
amusement in mystery and in initiating
new members. In hunting for a name the
word “Kukloi.” from a Greek word, mean
ing a band or circle, wa9 suggested. The
suggestion inspired someone to propose
that the club be called “Ku Klux,” and
Ku Klux was adopted. The other part of
the name, “Klan,” naturally followed and
the organization became known as the
Ku Klux Klan. The young men had a
great deal of lun ont ot it and tbe curi
osity of the people of Pulaski became
greatly excited. An old building on the
outskirts of the town was taken posses
sion of, and there the initiations took
place. A sort of uniform was adopted,
consisting of a tall pasteboard hat, a
white mask and a gown or robe that cov
ered the entire person. On meeting nights
sentinels were placed in the vicinity of
the lodge-room to keep away intruders.
The appearance of these sentinels greatly
alarmed the negroes, and even the white
people were careful to avoid, after dark,
the highway that led past the old build
ing. There were plenty of recruits and
many more were anxious to join than
were accepted. Care was taken only to
accept those who were of good character
and who were not addicted to the use of
intoxicants. The club grew w ith won
derful rapidity, and soon there began to
be applications for permission to form
club* in neighboring villages. It wasn’t
very long before there were a great many
clubs scattered over the State. The
mystery that was so strictly maintained
was the chief cause of the spread of the
organization. There seemed to be an im
pression even among members that some
great movement was intended, but of the
character of it no one pretended to have
any knowledge. The alarm shown by the
negroes suggested that the organization
might be turned to a good purpose—that
of protecting life and property. Some
thing was done in that direction, and for
a time in all places where the organiza
tion had ledges it was noticeable that
there was a stronger sentiment in favor
of law and order. The organization soon
passed beyond the boundaries of Tennes
see and began to take root in other South
ern Stajes. In 1867 it extended from Vir
ginia to Texas. Its original character
was lost and its aim appeared to be to
regulate society. Bad men had been ad
mitted and in some localities were in con
trol. In the spring of 1867 a convention
was held in Nashville, at which delegates
were prescut from all the Southern States.
The resolutions adopted at this conven
tion show that there was no disloyalty
intended, and that the purpose was to af
ford protection to the innocent and de
fenseless under the laws. At that time
society was disorganized and the laws
were loosely enforced. After the conven
tion the organization continued to grow
but it was found impossible to control it
everywhere. A great outcry was made
against it. The Northern press attacked
it and Congressmen made speeches against
it. Outrages were committed by lawless
persons which were charged on the or
ganization. In September, 186S, the Leg
islature of Tennessee was called together
to devise measures to suppress the Klan
in t hat State. Harsh laws were passed
which aroused the resentment of the order,
and in some sections of the State a reign
of terror followed. In February, 1869,
Brownlow, the Governor of Tennessee,
resigned to take his seat in the United
States Senate, and soon afterwards a
proclamation was issued by the head of
the Ku Klux Klan .disbanding the order.
Mi at proclamation ended the organized
existence of the order. Remnants of it
continued to attract attention, and for a
year or more in localities they made their
presence recognized. The Klan practi
cally ceased to exist, however, in March,
1569.
New York has been enjoying a conven
tion of deaf mutes during the past week,
which was entirely free from swearing

Laura Bridgeman for President. Three
cheers for the deaf mutes. There ought

Tom Ochiltree has been getting a good

ever, has improved on Taylor by prac
ticing what is alluded to in the phrase

The patriotism of the Irish Nationalists

Another Sharp Consol General.
Tbe Consul General of tbe United States
to Japan is Gen.Thos.B. Van Buren. He
was accused some time ago of having
swindled the government, and be has
attempted to get vindicated and failed.
He brought suit in tbe Consular Court
against Sir. Thos. H. Tripler, who made
the accusation during some excitement
over a local club election, for $5,000 dam
ages. It will be remembered the charge
against Van Buren was that he had bought
the consular building used by him for tbe
United states from the Japanese Govern
ment for tbe sum of $1,536, and that after
wards be collected $1,690 a year from the
government as rent for it. On the recent
trial of this case in the United States
Consular Court at Yokohama, before Min
ister Bingham, the charges were fully
sustained.
The land on which the consular build
ing stands bad been set apart by the
Japanese Government for consular use,
w ith tbe expressed stipulation that the
acquisition of any part of it by a private
person would be illegal. Van Buren in
violation of this stipulation purchased
the property by collusion with the local
officials, and made it pay him the very
handsome income of over one hundred
per cent, per annum.
If this is not a dear case of swindling
the United States Government, it looks
very much like it. It seems as if Gen.
Badeau’s plan of withholding fees was
paralleled by the financiering of Gen. Van
Buren on the opposite side ol the world.
Tne question now is, will the Consul Gen
eral to Japan be requested to step down
and out, or will the affair be hushed up
on account of the family name and con
nections of the distinguished delinquent?

Ohio Discounting Her “Idea.”

The Indiana men, while steering clear of
the trouble'ome adverb “onlv,” committed

ated its views on wool and vehement'y voted
down a free trade plank nroposed by a dele
gate. The outcome of toe Ohio convention
seems, however, to ire more favorable to Mc-
Donald pr Cleveland than to a stricter type ot
“the Ohio idea,” like Payne or Hoadly, as the
machine was badly damaged in the election of
delegates-at-large to Chicago.

The Russian cemetery at Sebastopol would
be considered a handsome necropolis any
where. The men are laid away in batches in
great graves, but the officers lie in separate
ones. The tombs in many instances are veri
table monuments. Among them are a column
and bust over the remains of Prince Gortcha
koff, Commander-In-Chief of the Russian
forces in the Crimea, who died in Warsaw
in 1861, but who “desired to Bt buried amid
those defenders of their country who did not
permit the enemy to enter their fatherland
further than where their graves stand.” But
the most conspicuous object in the cemetery
is a maguitieent memorial chapel of granite,
marble, and bronze, in the form of a pyramid,
over 100 feet high, the walls of which, inside
and ont, are covered with the names of all
who took part in the defense of Sebastopol
and for whom prayers are daily offered up.
Some time ago a well known English
sportsman, who is a devout Roman Catholic,
was married to a wealthy Proteßtant lady. It
was agreed that the children (of whom there
were several) should be educated in the Ho
man Catholic faith. The gentleman's specu
lations on the turf proving extremely unfor
tunate. he was compelled to ask his wife for
assistance. This she consented to render on
condition that the son and heir was brought'
up in the Established Church. After some
demur this was agreed to, the father consol
ing himself with the reflection that the other
children would lie left to him. But ill fortune
still pursued him, and after another loss he
had to apply to his wife again, with the same
result, viz., the surrender of another olive
branch. Still the luck did not turn, and at a
recent race meeting, after a series of reverses,
he was heard shouting excitedly, “Outsider
wins! Outsider wins! good heavens, I sba'nt
have one little Catholic left!”

ROUGH ON THE BISHOP.
How a Redskin Misconstrued a Profane
Expression and Started a Painful
Story.
Bill Aye.
I write this in simple justice to an in
jured man. When 1 see an opportunity
to deal out even-handed justice, you will
generally find me there assisting the god
dess with the bread-and-milk poultice
over her eyes. I was always that way,
even as a child. Later ou. as a Justice of
the Peace, I was known ail over the West
as headquarters for substantial justice. I
am that way yet.
There is an anecdote in the great list of
American yarns which runs something
like this:
A wicked, unregenerate and profane
man once journeyed through the South,
in the land that is over against Mason and
Dixon’s line, and behold, he met a large
multitude upon the way, and he said unto
one of those whom he met: “Whither
go ye?” And they answered him: “Even
unto the baptism,” which is after the man
ner of that country. And he turned about
and followed them even unto the rink
whereat they did baptize.
Now, it so happened that when the
preacher had washed away a slough of
sins and was about through, the profane
man from the San Juan, who stood by the
shore, seeing that the preacher was
aweary, aud that he approached the bank
for to come out, put forth his hand to aid
him; but, behold, when he put forth his
hand the preacher rallied and jerked the
worldly man from San Juan into the water
and proceeded to baptize him with the
usual extempore remarks. The profane
man sought again and again to excuse
himself, and even with tears to set forth
that he had not been regenerated, and that
owing to the panic he had failed to meet
with a change of heart; but the preacher
would not listen to it. He immersed the
ungodlv man from San Juan, ant. asked
him how he felt. Forgetting for the mo
ment the peculiar circumstances by which
he was surrounded, the profane mau made
answer that he ielt O. K., but that it would
he ad and long time before he attended
another baptism.
Well, that’s the story'! and last summer
Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia, in company
with several other Bishops and Rev. M.
Gilbert, of Christ Church, St. Paul, and
several other gentlemen, went up on the
north shore of Lake Superior to catch four
pound trout in a stream with a long Indian
name, that makes into Superior. Bishop
Beckwith told the above story to the party,
and, unfortunately, in the presence of two
or three Indian guides, who took the party
up tbe stream in their canoes? Well, an
Indian mav be infernally stupid about all
matters of national and international law,
but when a man says “and ,” it seems to
be a language that just hits him exactly.
He can grapple with that and understand
it first rate. You swear at an Indian,
whether he is a Chippewa on the shores ot
the great lakes or the classical angle
worm eater of the Pacific slope, and he
smiles and understands you. These In
dians understood just that one word of the
Bishop’s anecdote, and they casually told,
when they brought the clerical fisherman
back, that the party bad had a big row on
the trip, and swore at each other like pi
rates, or words to that effect.
The story is still prevalent in the North
west that such is the case. It is to rectify
this mistake, therefore, that I now take
my pen in hand. If I can in that way
set a good man right before the people of
the United States and St. Lawrence
countv, New York, it will not only be
pleasant to him, but it may call attention
to the almost criminal scorn for truth
which we often find scorched into the sin
soaked soul ol the red man as the result,
according to the sore-eyed philanthropists,
of contact with our modern alcoholic
saturaUd civilization.
(Please send marked copies of Opinion
to Bishop Beckwith and to some of the
Northern Chippewa Indians, whose names
will follow this letter on flat-cars.)
Two Infant Fratricides.
William Fennell, his wife and three
children, aged respectively 3, 5 and 7
Years, live near Tarheel, N. C., and their
farm borders on the Cape Fear river. Mrs.
Fennell left home on Tuesday, and as she
went gave some fruit to each of the chil
dren, who were playing. To the youngest
she gave the largest piece, which led to a
quarrel among the youngsters. The two
elder children seized the favorite, dragged
him to the bank of the river, pounded his
brains out with a stone aud threw his
bodv into the river. At first they denied
knowing what had become of their
brother, but afterwards confessed and the
body was recovered.

“The price is quite decollete,” I said.
“Young man, do you know what decol
lete means?”
“Yes, madam, I do.”
“Well, I think you are mistaken.”
“Oh, no, I am riot.”
“What does it mean!”
“It means cut tow, and that’s what’s
the matter with the price on that piece of

BETWEEN BLAINE AND DEEP
WATER.
The Distressing Quandary In Which the
Saintly, bnt Partisan, Edmunds
Stands.
With the thermometer steadily at 100 or
thereabouts in the shade, says a Wash
ington special to the New York World,
political talk during the last forty-eight
hours has not been very lively. The posi
tion of Senator Edmunds is one, however,
that interests the gossips perhaps more
than any other topic. Edmunds has al
ways been a thick-and-thin partisan. He
has never bolted his ticket. To so do
would be political suicide in Vermont.
While he was tbe idol of tbe Independents,
he has never in his life made an indepen
dent move outside the party ma
chine. He is tbe unswerving sup
porter ol every Republican adminis
tration. He was close to Grant as his
right hand. He even stomached
Hayes and ruled him with a rod ol iron.
He’stood up to Garfield, and Arthur
leaned upon Edmunds as his first and
best friend.' EdmuDds is now confronted
with a dose ot medicine trom which his
trained political Btoinach turns. Blaine
is his avowed enemy aud has not hesi
tated to show his enmity. Early and
late, in public and private, Blaine has
never done auything but antagonize
Edmunds and declare bis contempt for
his cold, hypocritical character. Now
Edmunds, who never yet has left his
party standard, hesitates. The Republi
can leaders here are delighted at Ed
munds’ quandary and are trying to smoke
him out. They’ put him at the head
ot the speakers the other day at the
Blaine and Logan ratification meeting,
but the Vermont Senator declined
to come on account of sickness. This
sickness was simple nausea from his at
tempting to swallow Blaine too early. He
has since said that he prepared a speech
for the occasion, but the candidate of the
Independents could not briDg himself to
deliver it. No one doubts, however, that
Edmunds will get around in line before
the campaign is very old, but he will have
to do all the work of reconciliation. He
will never be able to make terms with
Blaine, who openly prefers his enmity to
his friendship. As for John Logan, he
dislikes Edmunds cordially. He said the
other day that no one need worry about
Edmunds’ position. He never ran against
his own interests and would work hard
enough for the ticket if the National Com
mittee should direct him to fall iu line.
A Cruel Shock.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Dressed for church she stood before the
mirror admiring herself, and raeutaliy ob
served that she never had appeared more
lovely. The candid critic, however, would
have declared that her figure was not in
just proportion, for she was very tall and
thin aud her height seemed greater than
it actually was in consequence of a bunch
of ostrich plumes that floated in snowy
masses over her hat.
“Yes, 1 know I am handsome,” she said,
“but I can’t help it;” and turning to go
out, caught sight of her little brother
standing in the doorway.
“What are you doing there, Bob?” she
asked, sharply.
“Looking at you, Fannie,” returned the
artless child.
“What do you want to be staring at me
for?”
“’Cause you look just like a long han
dled feather duster.”
And sitting all alone in church that
morning she wondered how she would
feel if Bob got the measles and died.

AS a Spring Medicine, Blood Purifier,
Diuretic and Aperient.no other so-called

disease, covering almost completely the up

rubbed off like dandruff, and at times causing
intolerable itching and the most intense suffer

other advertised remedies, but experienced
no relief until I procured the Cuticcra Reme

GREAT CHEMIST,
R. Ogden Doremus, M.D., LL.D.
Bkllevck Hospital Medical College, May 24, 1884.
DR. V. C. PRICE, President of the Price Baking Powder Cos., Chicago, 111.:
Slß—This is to certify that I have analyzed “Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Pow
der.’' i find it is composed of PURE MATERIALS, and compounded on CORRECT
SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES. I have also analyzed the “Royal Bakins: Powder” and
instiUited a comparison between the two. The ingredients of “l)r. Price’s Cream
Baking Powder” are PURER than those of the Royal. The “Royal Baking Pow
der,” when heated, yields sufficient Ammonia to In* detected by sense of
smell, and plainly discovered in biscuits or cakes made therefrom. This
Ammonia is derived IVoin impurities iu the “Koyal Baking Powder.”
As the chief aim of a Baking Powder is to produce a HARMLESS GAS, which will
give porosity To the bread, biscuits or cakes made therefrom, “Dr. Price’s Cream
Baking Powder” in this respect also surpasses the Royal.
I have examined biscuits from the two powders, and prefer those made from “I)r.
Price’s Cream Baking Powder,” for me following reasons:
Ist. The materials in “Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder” are PURER than
those of the “Royal Baking Powder,” an'd therefore MORE WHOLESOME.
2d. The INGREDIENTS are more ACCURATELY and SCIENTIFICALLY PRO
PORTIONED, hence bread or biscuits prepared with them are BETTER SUITED
FOR DIGESTION.
3d. The vield of carbonic acid gas is greater, therefore the BISCUITS ARE
LIGHTER.
In mv opinion “Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder” IS SUPERIOR to the
“Royal Baking Powder” IN EVERY RESPECT.
1 have the honor to remain yours respectfully,
