These documents are from Confederate sources, anil will be read doubtless with deep interest. We also publish a map of the Soudan, showing the various points of interest in the war between the English and the Mahdi. The map will be valuable for reference as the struggle in the Soudan progresses. A Maine man shot his father-in-law the other day, having mistaken him for a wildcat, and his neighbors wonder how such a thing could have happened. They say that it it had been his mother-in-law there would have been no mystery about it. It is stated that the death of a young son ot Prof. Janus, of Washington city, Thursday last, was caused by smoking cigarettes to excess. It seems to be use less to comment on this case. The boys will smoke cigarettes as long as hickory switcht s are 60 scarce. The Baltimore oyster market is glutted with young oysters about the size of a thimble, and a law prohibiting the taking of such oysters is demanded. The beds are being so robbed by unscrupulous dredgers that it is thought the catch of next year will be very much pffected. Avery nice 9UO acre farm known as the Divine place, just north of Chattanooga, is about to be bought by a joint stock company for $135,000, or S!SO per acre. It is to be divided and rented for truck farm-, and wiil perhaps be eventually surveyed into city lots. It is one of the finest plan r unions in the Tennessee river bottom. A Long Island negro wouiau was se verely btaten by her husband the other day because she refused to ciok a fowl which he had stolen. He thought he had a perfect right to punish her for disobey ing him. The Magistrate, however, ap peared to Lave no regard for the rights of the colored citizen, and sent him to jail under two accusations. Uni. Sirgerly, editor of the Philadelphia jPecord. has a cow that gave 72 pounds of mt!k one day last week, without anv assistance from the Fairmount Water Wirks. Tnis comes within one of beat ing the record. II Editor Medill. of the Chicago Tribune, owned that cow, he would make her beat the record if it re quired him to burst every hydrant on his lot. < asabi tnea lias been outdone, and that by a tointer dog. A Burke county, Penn sylvania. man lost bis white pointer dog while hunting in a sedge field last fall. Tec fb>g could not no found, nor would he answer to the call. The other day the field w.-:s burred over, and the skeleton of tin dog was found within a few inches of the >-l£cietons of a covey of birds, the dog t> ing still on the jw>int. A man died in Chattanooga the other day of hiccoughs, and the doctors are said to be deeply puzzled over the existence of the strange and unaccountable disease in that city, as they can find no explanation of the malady in any of their medical works. This speaks well for the Cnatta nx>g.\ physicians. It shows that they have had very little experience witn average Chattanooga liquor. The Cincinnati Timef-Star is kind enough to say: “Republican Senators are n n disposed to throw obstacles in President Cleveland*® way.” It is grati fytng t know that the Republican Sena tors are smart enough to know that Presl dt r t Cl* velaud has a habit of kicking ob stacles out of his way, and it would not lie very safe for the Republican Senators t make obstacles of themselves. Attemj - are again beiug made by the Arkansas mountaineers to frighten away the negroes who recently went to that rotate from North Carolina. It i9 gratify ing to hear that the better people of Ar kansas arc opposed t j such methods, and that th negroes will l*o protected. The roughs who have been firing their guns and pistols at the houses of the immi grants should be captured and punished t< the extent of the law. In a recent trial of a whisky case in Cincinnati the evidence came out to the effect that cheap spirits is shipped from this country to Versailles, where it is converted into “nigger brandy” by being watered and “doctored,” wheuce it is shipped to Africa and sold in enormous quantities. This abominable stuff will do more to retard the progress of civilization in Africa than all the barbarous habits and customs of the peonle. \ b iding Hritisb medical periodical says that it is impossible for smoking to cau c e canc'T similar to that with which j Gen. Grant is afflicted. The anti-tobac conists are vigorously denounced for making capital out ot the General's suffer ings. This opinion will probably be widely advertised by those extensively inteiested in the manufacture of tobacco and cigars. It is now in order for the General's physi cians to be beard from again. It does look like the rollerskating rinks will have to go. They have been de nounced by thp clergy, the newspapers negl the physicians, and now even the Michigan saloon-keepers have declared war against them and will boycott the owners. The reason of this is that the young men go to the rinks instead of to the saloons. This gives the rink people the cue to a good defense against the at tacks cf the preachers. The question, however, is an open one. whether the in toxication of the rink is not worse in its effects than alcoholism. Florida oranges are being exported lrom Boston to Liverpool in considerable quantities. A lot of 100 boxes, which were shipped some three weeks ago, ar rived in good condition, and were sold at satisfactory prices, although they came indirect competition with ibe Mediter ranean oranges which are sold in Eng land at very low prices. It is expected that ;he export trade in oranges will .rapidly increase, and thatagreat demand lor Florida truit will spring up on the other side of the water in a short time. It would doubtless pay to ship oranges | direct from .Jacksonville or Savannah by fast steamers to London, Liverpool and , fCjAUhuUi byit*. 1 Kcono *ny the First Conside ration. bur -• President does not sees* to be in a ry to make changes in the offices. Ue ,pears to be more anxierss to reduce the number of officials than to replace Re publicans with Democrat*. Among his first official acts was the reduction of the numiier of employes in the offices at the White House, aud cr dispatches yester day announced that the Secretary of the Treasury had dispensed with the services of S'* persons in one division of his department, thereby saving the govern ment $16,000 annually. Doubtless a re duction is contemplated in other divisions of the Treasury Department, and in the divisions of other departments. The Secretaries are in thorough accord, evi dently. with the President in the matter of reform in the civil service, anti it is probable that before the work of putting Democrats in office is undertaken there will tie a very thorough overhauling of the entire service. All useless offices will he abolished, and unnecessary officials discharged. In the opinion of the administration, doubtless, civil service reform means economy in the transaction fi.* government business, a* well as the •/election of only competent men to till the offices. There are doubtless thousands of offi cials now drawing pay from the govern ment who render no necessary service. It w as the policy of the Republican party to increase the patronage of the govern ment tor two reasons. First, every office holder became a party worker, aud sec ond, the greater tae number of the offi cials the larger the sura which the party was able to raise for political purposes. It is plain, therefore, that if the Presi dent intends to keep his promises relative to giving the country uu economical ad ministration, he must at once find out how many of the 100,000 or more offices can be abolished without damage to the public service. lie and bis Secretaries apjiear to be searching for this informa tion now. Until it is known how many and what offices there are to fill it would not be good policy to begin making changes. When the work in the interest of economy is completed it is probable that the work in the interest of improved service will begin. A moment's consideration will be suffi cient to convince anyone, except an eager applicant for an office, that the course which the President is pursuing is the correct one. He wiii be sustained by public opinion, although the oftice-s?ek ers may not have z>n!y words of praise for him. The fact is, the people are not so much Interested in having the wishes of the office-seekers gratified as they are in having the government honestly and economically administered. They haven't 1 any doubt that changes in the offices will be made in good time, and that the Presi dent and his Secretaries cau he relied upon to appoint good and competent men. It may take time to find such men. Those who are now clamoring for places may not all be tit meu to appoint, or such men as the President cau be induced to ap point by petitions and a 1 literal amount of Influence. In fact, it is not improbable that very many of those who were first to present their claims for t ffice wouldn’t reflect much credit on the adminis 1 ration if their claims were recognized. The country will not tie unduly disturbed, therefore, if the office-seekers show a dis position to be ugly, and threaten to with draw their support from the administra tion, or it the changes in the offices are not made as rapidly as was expected. Brewster's Fancy Furniture. Attorney General Garland, it seems, does not find the surroundings in the office set apart for his use entirely to his liking. The office is tilted up something after the style ot an art furniture shop. It is full of ail sorts of bric-a-brac. The walls are covered with gorgeous paper and are adorned with fine pictures. Elegant rugs aro scattered about the floor. A magnifi cent screen stands in front of the fire place. On the tables are many curious and hands line but useless articles. The chairs and solas arc- the finest that money can purchase. Attorney General Brew ster spent a good many thousands of dol lars oa the room. He appeared to devote more time to furnishing it than to the business of his department. Ttie Ci m mittee on Appropriations refused for a long time to make an appropriation to pay for the saiff that Mr. Brewster had put into his office, and it was not until he went to the capitol and said to the com mittee that it an appropriation were not made he would leave nothing but the bare wails tor his successor, that the necessary amount was provided for. Attorney General Garland doesn’t know what to do with the fancy articles that fill every available space about the room, and it is said that as soon as he can, with out occasioning gossip and thereby hurt ing tin* ex-Altorney General’s feelings, he intends to have much of the useless truck packed up and sent to tlie lumber room in the loft. Attorney General Gar land is a plain man, and he likes plain, substantial furniture. If he were com pelled to dress in such fancy clothes as those which adorned Mr. Brewster’s per son and to ride in such a gorgeous car riage us that used by the ex-Atiorney General in order to till the office accept ably, he would resign doubtless at once. Mr. Brewster was known for his pe culiarities in dress and for his liking lor display. Mr. Garland wi.l be known for bis close application to the duties of his office and for bis opinions bearing upon the administration of the affairs of the government. An Interesting Contest. The effort or ex-Congressman Philip Thompson, Jr., of Kentucky, to get the office ot Commissioner of Internal Reve nue appears to be exciting more interest in Washington than that of any other office-seeker. The interest doesn't arise from the fact that Mr. Thompson has been able to bring a great deal of influence to bear in his favor, but is due to the belief that Mr. Randall, who opposes Mr. Thompson and favors a West Virginia applicant, is trying his strength with the President in opposition to Mr. Carlisle. The strongest backer that Mr. Thompson has is Mr. Carlisle. He is very enthusiastically indorsed, however, by the entire Kentucky delega tion, and by a very large number ot the Democratic Representatives-eloct. There is no question as to his ability to till the position. One objection that has been urged against him is that he lielongs to a State whose whisky interest is about as large as teat of all the other States com bi cd, and that he might lie too suscepti ble to the influence of that interest. In view of the fact that the present Commissioner of Internal Revenue is a Kentucky man, and that his administra tion of the office has not provoked any scandal, the objection to Mr. Thompson loses its force. While it is certain that Mr. Randall is opposing and Mr. Carlisle is assisting Mr. Thompson, it may be that the Presi dent will not allow his preference for either of these gentlemen to iuflu enee, in the least, his decision. If he decides against Mr. Thompson it may not be because Mr. Randall op poses him. Secretary Manning is under stood to be hostile to Mr. Thompson, and the Secretary’s wishes in the matter will have more weight probably than those of anyone else. There is an impression that , a man recommended by neither 31 r. Carlisle nor Mr. Randall will ho ap pointed. Gen. Grant has escaped one great dan ger. The New England cancer doctor was not allowed eveu to see film, THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MARCH 15, l? 85. Advocating an Fxtra Session. The Charleston .Vers tnul Courier ad- | vocates an extra session of Congress tor the purpose of maUing appropriations for rivers and harbors. The .Vetcs and Cornier points out with considerable force the damage which the improvements now being made in the rivers and harbors in different parts of the country will suffer il work on them is suspended. Not only will there be damage to the improvements but commercial interests will be affected injuriously. All of these points we have made already, not in advocating an extra session, but in commenting on the folly of reporting the bills which provide for carrying on the goTernnunt and for public improvements to the House so late in the session. Wo also called at tention to the coudnct of the Rivei and Harbor Committee in refusing to hear the representatives of the sections interested in the bill, thus making ene mies lor it. aud also to the lack of man aging ability shown by the Chairman of the committee on the floor of the House. We would very much like to have an appropriation for our river, but wo see no chance of getting it until the regular session of next Congress. Wo do not think that the President could be induced to call an extra session to make appro priations for rivers and harbors. The river and harbor bill is not a very popular bill, aud it efforts were made for an extra session, efforts equally as strong would he made doubtless against it. We might as wefl make up our minds that there will be no extra session. England and Russia. There doesu’t appear to be any imme diate danger of war between England aud Russia. For a day or two the situation appeared to be somewhat threatening, but it is not improbable that a good deal of what was given out by the English Gov ernment was but littl more than bluster. The talk of war with Russia is rather popular in England, and it may be that the government gave greater importance to the trouble with Russia than the truth warranted, simply to draw attention away from the disheartening condition of ! affairs in the Soudan. There appears to be a real misunder standing respecting the boundary' ques tion on the Afghan frontier. It is ad mitted by both nations that the Turco mans are under Russian protection and the Afghans under English protection. The Turcomans and Afghans also admit this protection. The Afghans and the Turcomans cannot agree where the Turco man territory ends and the Afghan terri tory begins. There are some very fertile plains and salt beds south of Merv, which the Turcomans want for their herds. The Afghans are not willing that this territory shall be occupied by the Turcomans. If the Turcomans were granted all the ter ritorv they claim, their frontier would reach within thirty miles of Herat, the capital of Afghanistan. England and Russia agreed on a com mission to fix anew boundary, and Sir Peter Lumsilen, <ho English Commis sioner, went to Afghan and located his headquarters a lew miles from where he thought the frontier ought to be. lie was accompanied by a considerable toree, which influenced, perhaps, the Afghans to occupy Penjdeb, a section of country that they had never claimed. The Rus sians accepted this as a sort of a chal lenge, and they pusbt and Iheir forces for ward until they were within 160 miles of Herat. The English Commissioner inter preted this advance as a violation of the agreement entered into by England and Russia, and as an indication that Russ a intended to invade Afghan territory. He sent dispatches to his government that resulted in a correspondence between the tw 7 o governments and stirred up consid erable excitement. The Russians have not. yc-t crossed the line that England is willing to accept as the boundary, al though the Afghans have entered terri tory to which they never before made any claim. It is cow agreed that neither side shall advance any further, and that the work of settling the question of the bound ary shall proceed. The war cloud isn’t so black and threatening as it was. The question of tiie successor in the Senate of Attorney General Garland is attracting much attention in Arkansas. Mr. Breckinridge, elected for two years as Congressman-at-Large, wants to oc cupy Ihe seat that Mr. Garland has va cated, and to bring back to the Senate the name which his father made distin guished as a Senator from Kentucky, a position to which he was elected while still Vice President, and which he sur rendered to enter the Confederate service. .Mr. Walker, w hose term has just expired, thinks that he is a possible suc cessor to Mr. Garli nd, by the help of the few Republican votes in the Arkansas Legislature, in the absence of a caucus nomination by the Democrats. While there is a chance for Mr. Walker if an angrv struggle among the Democrats occurs, in which the meagre Republican strength is a factor, it is not likely that the choice of the successor to Garland will be other than Representative Poin dexter Dunn or ex-Gov. Berry. The shaving brush business was on a boom in Chicago last week. It came about in this way: A citizen bought al6 cent shaving brush of a street hawker, and happening to observe a peculiar rat tle or “shake” in the handle, he broke it open and found a couple of very niee dia monds, worth about |5O ench. The report got out, and soon nearly all the shaving brushes in the town were bought and broken by persons who were sure that a large importation had been undo for the purpose of smuggling diamonds in the handles. No further “finds” were re ported. Possibly tho shaving-brush men had invested in a couple of paste stones, and put up a bill job on the innoeent minded Chicagoese. Ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen has, it is said, grown quite feeble within the past month, but he is kind enough to say that he has the utmost confidence in Secretary Bayard's ability to make a great reputa tion as the leading Cabinet officer. Ct KKLNT COMMENT. A Lawful Administration. Boston Post (Dm .) The President and six of his Cabinet arc lawyers and good ones too. This is to be an administration of law. An Unquestionably Strong Cabinet. Harper's Weekly ifnd. Rep.) The new Cabinet is unquestionably a strong Cabinet. It comprises some of the well-known Democratic leaders and some younger men less known. The President has had the good sense and the courage to disregard “claims for re’ognition” upon the part of States and persons, aud has invited gentlemen from the various parts of the country whose personal character and ability, or whose public service and distinction, are the earnest of such an ad ministration as he desires to conduct. The Symp ithy of the Country. Baltimore Sun (Bern.) The country will go with the new adminis tration in every step it takes toward combin ing industry and zeal in the public service with efficiency and economy. To increase offices aud enlarge salaries for the henellt of clamorous place-seekers would be a different thing, and almost as bad as to make a clean sweep of old officials merely to gratify a horde of new ones. That, however, is a custom that went out—it is to be hoped never to return— with the old order of tilings ot. March 4. Sensible Civil Service Reform. St. Louis Republican ( Dent.) It would not, however, be true to intimate that the Democrats thioughont the country intend to sit quietly by and permit the Ke pnblicausto hold on to the offices under the protection of the so-called civil service re form, nor do we believe that the Democrats forming the administ-ation will allow them selves to lie controlled or hoodwinked bv po litical intrigue under the guise of law. We j say now, as we have said before, that no civil t service regulations ever sanctioned by Con- j gress or common sense require that anew j administration must be conducted and man ;igt;<4 by Uic appointee cf an bid one, ITEMS OF INTEREST. In some Engltsh country houses now people draw lots as to whom they shall sit next at dlrucr, and, on the whole, it answers very well. Hint gives much more variety than going in order of rank. TfIKRK are still some half dot.cn wooden houses iu Loudon. One is in Wellclose square, near the Tower, and another iu the rear of it. They are very old, but in go ,and repair, ami warm and comfortable. Lt-Nsse for the great Lick telescope arc said to have been at last successfully cast, and need only polishing to be ready for use Tlie sail Francisco Call says: “In looking through this telescope it is reckoned that the moon will be krought within thirty miles of the earth, and that discoveries will tie made on that planet to solve problems heretofore held to be nnsolvable.’ That is a characteristic anecdote that is re lated of Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, apro pos of the late Sergt. Plunkett. Soon after Plun kett's heroic act became known to the State amli orites Adt. Gen. Seouler suggested to Gov. Andrew that the Sergeant should be commissioned. The Governor replied: "No; it is better that he be knowu iu history as •Sergt. Plunkett.” The borribe suffering of cattle in Kansas is getting into print. It consists of starvation and freezing. The streams have been frozen to the bottom, and cattle, in “rustling” for water, have fallen on the ice. and, too weak to rise, have frozen by hundreds. Again, iu a wind, o.ittle bunch in big herds for warmth. tiie weakest being driven to the centre and crushed to death. Heaps oi these dead cattle dot the prairies. The wild man who has created such con sternation around Brown’s Station, Ohio, for some time lias been somewhat cleared up. After a desperate tight the wild man was caught. He presented a fearful sight. Hair covered bis body, and he was filthy aud sav age beyond description. He lived iu a cave in the lulls and subsisted wholly ou raw' food. He talked a gibberish which could not tic un derstood. and nothing regarding Ids history could be learned. He was committed to the poor house at Steubenville. On the express train from New Haven, which reached New Fork Wednesday even ing, there was one passenger who did not pay any fare. The conductor did not even ask him for his ticket, and did not threaten to stop the train and put him off—with the aid of a brakeman or two. The passenger did not make his appearance until the train was in the vicinity of New Rochelle. In fact, he was not -ora until then. The mother was Annie Brown, and she lives in South Brook lyn. When ttic train reached the city she was taken to Bellevue Hospital in an ambu lance. A large number of people inßoothbay, Me., are kept busy in an industry which has been copied from ttie artic regions. They are now at work cutting up the fourth whale which has been taken between Monhegau and Squirrel Islands. The w* ales are shot with a bomb or shell from a gun, the hunters fir ing from the deck of a steamer. Each whale produces from 40 to EO barrels of oil, and the c.0.-on carcass is made into fertilizer. Four whales have been towed iu within three weeks, and five more are killed and lying on the bottom. Two of these are buoyed and anchored, so that when they rise, which oc curs in about ten days, they cannot Uoat off. Sekgt. Plunkett, says a Springfield (Mass.) paper, was as thrifty as he was brave. When he was married in church lie heard, as he walked out, doubt expressed of the ability of an armies man to care for a wife. He de termined there should lie no failure in that respe t, and he told a friend recently: “I de bo mined that she should never come to w nt. We had about $7,000 that was given me before we were married, and we lived carefully. I never squandered any of my money, but always did what I could to lay il up for my wife and children. Now I own real estate in Worcester, and I have got in all over $70,000. You may ti ll o. this when I am gone, but not just yet.” Upon inquiry at any post office in Venzuela one is offered his choice of two stamps. The proceeds from ttie sales of one go into the general treasury, and it Is good for foreign or the domestic postage. The other stamp is used for local postage, for tetters addressed to persons within the town or state, and is re quired upon commercial paper, upon ail deeds, mortgages. leases, contracts notes, re ceipts, certificates, etc. ’the proceeds of its sale are devoted to the support of the schools, which are free to all, but are usually attended bv the children of the lower classes. The negroes are particularly eager to learn, and the average attendance of b acks is verv ranch greater than that of white children", aud out of proportion to the population. The ratio of illiteracy is greater among the whites than among the negroes, and people are beginning to complain that servants and laborers are being spoiled by education. “I do not know how eels breed,” says Seth Green. “I have seen people who said they hud soon the spawn and other parties who said they had seen young eels in the mature ee'.s nearly ready to hatch. I have opened them from day to day, at ali m‘ sosi-; of the year, and never have seen any voting eels or spa an. My opinion is they hatch in salt or brackish water, and go up Die streams when they are small. They can go up any cam or lull when they are joung. They crawl up the dams and falls, clinging to the rooks under the sheet of water the same as an angle worm would. They would go up any fall, no matter how high.'if they got there be fore they were fl\e inches long. There are plenty of eels iu Lake Ontario, but none above, except they have been transported or got up t i ;;h the canal. They are so large wlk n they get to Niagara Falls that they cannot get over; tu-y are so lica.y tnoy fail before they get to the top.” An luleresting contest is going ou in the County Ouirt at Chicago for the guardian slupof a I ttie girl. This is Frederick;! Lenze, the 7-j ear-old daughter of I manuel Lenze, who killed his wife and then himself lately. No !<■“ than six different people have tiled petitions for leave to adopt her. She is a re markably pretty aud intelligent little gir], and those who have peon her are not very much astonished at her popularity. But it is now said that in add.tion to her intelligence a 1,1 pi, if} face ana person she is a "Al ascot,” and has the faculty of locating goldmine/, finding lost articles ami so on.

Koyai. visits to Ireland have been more frequent durin.: the present re-ijin than in any prcviou- period in the later history of the island. George IV. went to Dublin on Aug. H, I*2l. and stayed till Sept. 10. That was the tlrst roy 1 visit f-r a couple of generations. The next was made by the Queen herself, who has now been three tint s in Ireland. Her first vi-it was in August, ISP), when the Queen, the Prince Consort, and their children made a tour, and a court was held at Dublin Castle. The next visit was in At gu-t. IST!, when the great industrial exhibition was being lield in Dublin The lost time the Queen was in the Iri.-b capital was in August, 1801, when she and Prior.: Albert spent the last wi ok of that month in the sister island. The Prince of Wales had been in rebind at the end of the previous dune. Ho was there again to open the Dublin International exhibition in May, 1860, Three years later, in April, ISOS, the Prince and Princess of Wales paid a visit to Ireland, and were received in Dublin on April 15 with a remarkable outburst of en thusiasm. The last visit of the Prince of Wales was at the opening of the Royal Agri cultural Exhibition on Aug. 1, IS7I. This extraordinary story is related by the Captain of the bark Brunswick, at New York Thursday, from Yokohama: "Feb. 21, iu latitude 07 north, longitude 70:50 east, the v.ir.d was btowing heavily from the south southwest. At 5 a. m. the sky suddenly changed to a liery red. All at once a large mass of lire appeared over the vessel, it seemed to waver u moment in space and then fell into the sea, about fifty yards leeward. It struck the water with a great hissing sound, the shock causing the bark to quiver from stem to stern. A towering mass of white foam was then seen rapidly approaching the vessel.. The hark was struck Hat hack, and before there was time to touch a braeo the satis filled again, and the roaring white mass could lie seen passing away ahead. Another sheet of !1 imethen rjin down the mizzenmast. From the rigging > the mast myriads of sparks poured lortli, and the strange redness of the sky lasted for twenty minutes. 1 luring all this time the sailors were appalled. There was not a .■-peek of white or blue or black in the sky. Ail was a fiery red. When it faded the atmosphere took on a yellow tinge. Then it changed to blue, und finally' faded away in a mist." Thkisk is a noticeable feature throughout all the departments at Washington under the new rule. This is the fact that all of the Sec retaries are so approachable. During busi ness hours in a majority of the offices you can ko iu without tending your card. The ad vantage of this is the Secretary is able to see more people, and lias a ready excuse for dis missing the importunate next to him by sign ing to visitors two or three feet away who are whiting. There has been no officer under the goverument in the past that has been less ap proachable than that of the Secretary of the Navy. Chandler broke up this exclusiveness to a certain extent, but lie never went so far as Mr. Whitney. He sees everybody until 2 o’cloik without a card. This innovation upon his part has nearly paralyzed the an cieut negro, I.indley Muse, who has had charge of the Secretary’s door for the last twenty years. This old man has had it in his power in the past to snub more prominent people than any doorkeeper in the employ of the government. When Robeson was Secre tary of the Navy it was worse than charging an ordinary battery to try and get by the vigilant ami supercilious Lindley. Since Mr. Whitney iias come into the Navy Department the old man looks broken. He who trampled upon the feelings of Admirals, Senators and Supreme Court Justices is now obliged to bang open the door for the humblest Ameri can citizen who comis into the department and calls for Mr. Whitney. He takes liis re venge, however, after 2 o’clock, for it is then that the department is closed to the public, when Mr. Whitney only sees people with TVlibW be has special business. I BRIGHT BITS.

A Plan that Will Secure Quick Delivery of Letters. The confusion of the business of Con gress during the last night-of the session, when the appropriation bißs were sent back and forth from one House to the other, says a Washington special to the Chicago Times, has left almost all of the members of the House, except those who were members of the Appropriation Com mittee, in a fog about the ultimate fate of some of tho questions in dispute. Some of these were settled in conference com mittees, and in other cases one or the other branch receded from its disagree ment without uuerwards informing the other House of the fact. An instance in point is found in the post office appro priation biH, If appears that after the House yielded to the demand of the Senate touching the ocean mail subsidy, Senator Plumb arose in the Senate, about 5 o’clock in the morning of March 4, and moved that the Senate agree to the sections relating to the spe cial delivery of letters, as the House was resolute and only a few hours of tne ses sion remained. 'Mr. Plumb’s motion was agreed to, but no tormal notice of the fact was sent to the House. These sections which go into effect on July 1 next au thorize the Posttnasi General to provide special 10-cent stamps, the use ot which, in addition to the postage, will insure the immediate delivery of letters to the per sons addressed at any free delivery office or in any town containing a population of 4,000 or over, or at any other office that may be designated for the purpose by the Postmaster General. It is provided that letters having the special stamp shall be delivered by messenger boys, who shall be paid not more than S3O per month, and the cost of this service is restricted to 80 per cent, of the receipts from the sales of special stamps.

SURRATT AND STANTON. Two Strange Stories Told by William P. Wood. Ex-Chief of Detectives. Some time after the execution of Mrs. Surratt, W. P. Wood in the Wash ington Gazette, President Johnson sent for me and requested me to give my ver sion of Mrs. Surratt’s connection with the assassination of President Lincoln. I did so, and 1 believe he was thoroughly convinced of the innocence of Mrs. Sur ratt. He assured me he sincerely re gretted that he had not given Mrs. Surratt the benent of Executive clemency and strongly expressed his detestation of what he termed the “infamous conduct of Stanton” in keeping these facts from him. 1 asserted my uncliang able friendship for Mr. Stanton under all circumstances, and while I regretted the course adopted by the Secretary of War towards Mrs. Surratt, 1 would never hesitate to perform any act of kiudness for him. President Johnson commended me for my devotion to friends, and the subject of the assassination was never afterwards discussed between him and myself. The.great War Secretary of the Union was no longer in power. He was a plain citizen ot our Republic, broken in health udcl tottering between life and death. The Republican loaders had, after much pleading, induced President Grant to name Mr. Stanton for a Judge of the Supreme Court. The Senate promptly confirmed the nomination, but Grant, for some reason best known to himself, did not put his signature to the commission, or if he did sign the commission he did not forward it to Mr. Stanton. It was at this time the latter 6ent for me, and I called at his residence on K street. When ushered into his presence 1 was startled at his woe-begone and wretched appear ance. He Inquired if I knew the reason wby that man (meaning President Grant) withheld his commission. 1 told him. Then we drifted in our talk to the executions herein referred to, and he rebuked me lor not making greater effort to save the woman that was hanged. He said he would have trusted his life in my keeping; that I would have saved him the torments ol hell had 1 been more per sistent in my efforts. 1 reminded him of my call on President Johnson to plead for mercy for Mrs. Surratt, and that I was met by L. C. Baker at the entrance of the President’s house, and Boker produced an order over his (Stanton’s) signature which set forth that 1 should not be per mitted to enter the building or communi cate with the President. “Too true,” he responded, “and the Surratt woman haunts me so that my nights are sleepless aud my days misera ble, and Grant aids my enemies by refus ing to sign my commission, which would afford me temporary relief and perhaps prolong my life, lie will not do it, and, Wood, this is at last the end.” Placing his hands to his head he continued: “I cannot endure the pressure; 1 am dying, dying surely, dying now!” A few parting words were exchanged between us, and the following day the death of Edwia M. Stanton was publicly announced. He never received his com mission of Judge of the Supreme Court, though he had been confirmed by the Sen ate of the United States. THE NAVY DEPARTMENT. Point* for tho New .Secretary—-Some of Chandler’s Notorious Jobs. Washington, March 12.— 1 l appears that Secretary Teller was not the only member of the Arthur Cabinet whose management will need careful investiga tion. Mr. Whitney will find that Secre tary Chandler's management of the Navy Department has led to certain results which will seriously embarrass him in putting that department on a good basis. Beiore Chandler went into the Navy Department he was the attorney of John Roach before Congress. There were four bidders for the contracts to build the new iron vessels ordered by Congress. John Roach, Mr. Chandler’s friend and former employer, was found to be the lowest bid der and secured the contracts. It is not generally known that the first thing that the Secretary did in making out these conti acts wish bis old client was to strike out the penalty clause required by law. t his left the government without a single check upon Roach, and without a single means of forcing him to comply with his contracts, save through the holding back of 10 per cent, of the payments on his ves sels as a reserve fund from which to extract penalties in the way of fines. But even this last restriction was set aside by the amiable Secretary just before ho went out of office. He caused to be paid over to Roach this re serve fund, so that. Mr. Whitney is per fectly helpless so far as having any au thority or control over Roach’s work. None of these vessels contracted for are yet completed. The Dolphin was to have been finished under contract last July. It vyiil be fortunate if she is completed by the next July. The Chicago anct the Bos ton and the Atlanta were to be finished this spring. They are now'bere near com pletion. The Chicago is not yet launched. This is a gross violation of the contracts. It explains how Roach could put in a lower bid than all the rest. STRANGE STORE OF A CORPSE. A Dead Woman Said to Have Revived and Spoken to Her Friend. Portland, Mk., March 10.—Mrs. Jane Fossett died four days ago after a brief illness. The body was prepared for the grave and lay in the best room in the house. Last night one of Mr. Fossett’s lady friends w'ad’ “watching” by the corpse, as is customary still in Maine. She tells the following story of her re markable experience: “l was sitting near the body and look ing intently upon the features that had been so dear tome in life. I could not restrain my tears, and said in a low voice, •Where are you now?’ At the sound of my voice the apparently dead body moved, turned on its side and at last sat up. The eyes opened, and in a thrilling voice the woman, who had been dead, but who lived again, spoke. Mrs. Fossett said she had been in heaven; that she had there enjoyed a happiness that was beyond her power to describe; that she had met and talked with her mother, long dead, and with other friends. For some time Airs. Fos sett talked, giving me a description of her experience in the spirit land. Gradually her voice grew fainter, and she fell back upon the bed clud as she was in her grave clothes. As the last word was spoken the spirit took its final departure and re turned no more.” Some people believe that the lady saw a vision in a dream, but she is convinced it was all a reality, aud that her friend re turned and talked with her. A Horrible Story. M smiths, March 12.—A horrible story cornea from the Forked Deer River bot toms, eight miles lrom Brownsville, Tenn., which, as related to your corre spondent, Is as follows: An aged couple Named Davids were taken sick dur:ng the early part of iast week. As they lived alone, with no neighbors nearer than a mile, they were powerless to send for medical aid. On Thursday last, after an illness of a few days, the husband expired, but Mrs. Davids, wbo was also very ill and infirm, could not rise from the bed on which ber husband bud died, and lor three days, unable to move, she remained confined in bed alongside the corpse of her husband, Sunday she managed to crawl to the front door, and luckily some man passed, whom she hailed and told the story ot her great distress. Neighbors soon came, and, after rendering assist ance to the almost famished woman, buried the decomposed remains ot hot husband. The Thrifty Rat. Chicago Xews.

But the Owner of the Cheese, perceiv ing how light it had become, cut it open, discovered the Rat, and called his Cat to Kill it. “In the Absence of an ironclad Return ing Board I must perish,” said the Rat. as lie prepared to meet his Fate. “But I shall Die Fat, and will have the Consola tion ot Knowing that 1 have Improved my Opportunities.” Moral.— lt is a Big Thing to be able to Point with Pride to the Record of yoiir Party. HORS FORD’S ACID PHOSPHATE, Invaluable as a Tonic. Dr. J. L. Pratt, Greenfield, 111., says: “It is all that it claims to be—invaluable as a tonic in any case where an acid tonic is indicated.” j THREE NEW SENATORS. Interesting Pen Pictures of Them. SENATOR SPOONER. The oddest-looking addition to the Senate comes from Wisconsin. His name is Spooner. He is the successor to Angus Cameron, who served out Matt Carpen ter’s unexpired term. He occupies Sena tor Cullom’s old seat upon the short row behind the main body of the Republican Senators’ seats. There have been before in the Senate insignificant-looking men, but never one who has approached Spoon er in this regard. It is the custom of the clerks and messengers about the Senate when they are in tbe Senate Chamber waiting for orders to drop into any of the vacant seats that tnere may hap pen to be in the back' rows. Spooner’s position gives him the ap pearance of a messenger waiting to carry some bundle. There is not one of the messengers or clerks who does not lock to be more of a man than he. In the first place he is undersized. He is not a bit over 5 feet 6 inches in height and would not weieh over 120 pounds. This would not be enough to make him look conspicuously inferior among the tall men in the Senate it he had a good-sized head, one even in proportion to his small body. Senator Vest is a small man, but he has a large head full ot character, and as he sits at his desk compares very fa vorably with those about him. Spooner’s head is grotesque in its smallness, liis face is almost wizened in its thinness and sharpness of line. The lower part of his face runs to a sharp point. His eyes are small aud deeply sunk. His nose is sloping, thin and straight. His mouth is very large. His nair is a thick, sandy red, which is brushed up flippantly as if with a stiff whisp broom from his right ear smooth into a solid bank of hair which stands out at right angles from the left side of his head, completely covering the left ear. The hair upon the back ot his head is also brushed to this central point. He has the appearance of having been out in a very high gale of wind and of having had his hair frozen stiff when the wind was blowing at its highest gauge of velocity. Involuntarily, as one looks at Spooner, he thinks of his wind ward and his leeward sides. Underneath his wildly blown mass of hair his naturally small face becomes so reduced through contrast that nothing but a photograph would make any one believe in the real absurdity of his appearance. Over this small face there steals whenever he is addressed the shrewd smirk of the vil lage oracle. When he stands up to talk he squares his legs and slips his hands into his trousers po kets after the fashion of the leader in tne village gossip in the leading grocery stores of Hudson, Wis., his home. He has been a useful little man about Madison, where he has been for a number of years employt and by the railroad interests of the State. He is said to be an attorney with good railroad practice, and has some reputation for skill and legal knowledge. He was 6ent to the Senate by the railroad corporations who have employed him in the past. He is in the Senate to-day as the messenger boy of these corporations. SENATOR EUSTIS. Eustis, the new Louisiana Senator, is j well known in Washington through his having been here several years ago as a ! contestant for a seat in the Senate. He is | a tali, powerful-looking man, w ith a very j full, round figure. He has a large head i set well down between his shoulders. His j neck is thick and short. His hair is iron gray and just beginning to thin upon the ! top of his head. Ilis forehead is broad 1 and high. His eyes are a keen blue. * His nose is thick and straight. The j ioiver part ol his face is coc ; cealed by a drooping, Iron-gray mous : tache and beard ot medium length. Hi 9 ! color is very fresh and high for a man i from his section of the country. His as- I soeiate, Senator Gibson, who is a very tall, elegant-looking gentleman, has not a particle ot color in his sallow face. Eustis looks like a heavy man who might do a great deal of work under high pressure. Ilis every-day movements are very slug gish. He dresses in black, and always wears with his ordinary dress a huge blue-and-white polka-dot necktie tied in a careless low. SENATOR STANFORD. Stanford, the California millionaire, who has just taken a seat in the Senate, has bis desk in the most distant corner to the left ot the presiding officer. It is said that Mr. Stanford is mortified by the nu merous publications throughout the coun try representing him as a spiritualistic crank. He has been unusually reserved since he came to Washington. When the Senate is in session he remains at his desk very quietly writing instead of going about seeking acquaintances among his associates. He is a man in the neighbor hood of 60 years of age. His figure is large and powerful. He has a very largo head. There is a strong contrast between his hair and his moustache and beard. His hair is thick and dark brown in color, w hile his moustache and beard of medium length are iron gray and in some places snowy white. The moustache itself is near ly all white. The general characteris tics of bis face resemble those of Eustis. At a distance they might be taken for brothers. They have the same high color, high forehead and straight nose. BUANSCOMBE POUND GUII/fY. His Talent for Brilliant Swindling Will Laud Him Again in State Prison. AY w York Sun, March. 7. The testimony in the trial, in the Gen era! Sessions, of Col. Alexander C. Brans combe, the leisurely, one-armed South er ner who set himself up as the publisher of "The Only True Guide to the New Or leans Exposition" and “The Diversified Industries of tne South," at 2t5 Broad way, iu August iast, was closed on Thursday. He victimized a number of paper dealers, printers and engravers with about $50,000 worth of promissory notes, purporting to bear the indorse ment ot Col. Edward Richardson, the millionaire President of the Board of D -of the New Orleans Exposition, The specific charge against Col. Brans eombe was that he obtained SO,OOO worth of white paper from Conroy Bros., paper dealers of 33 Beckman street, iu August last, by means of a promissory note for $7,000, bearing the forged indorsement of Col. Richardson. Recorder Smyth charged the jury yes terday, and they deliberated for only twenty minutes, convicting Col. Brans combe of forgery. He heard the verdict with apparent unconcern, and lounged carelessly back to the prisoners’ box, exchanging bows and smiles with a num ber of pretty type-writers, several of whom were formerly in his employ. He was remanded by Recorder Smyth to await sentence. Col. Branscombe has bad a checkered career. Be says he has had any number of hairbreadth military experiences, which he has put into print under the title of “Mysteries and Vicissitudes of the Blue and the Gray." li his scheme in regard to the New Orleans Exposition publications had not failed, mainly through his undue haste in issuing promissory notes, most of which were readily accepted on account of the in dorsement by business men here, he would have cleared $50,000. A detective said yesterday that Col. Branscombe might have been taken as a model for “Col. Mulberry Sellers," so nu merous and gigaut*c have been his schemes. He has never been identified w ith anything small. He must have real ized a fortune, but he does not seem to have any money left. He has the most astounding self-command, never losing his self-possession under any circum stances, and his manners are excellent. He can talk for hours in the choicest lan guage, and paint his projects with rosv hues. In 1880 he procured an over-issue of Jacksonville, Fla., bonds, and placed most of them in this city. He was detect ed, and Judge Gildersleeve sentenced him to State prison for three years and six months. Just before the Florida bond ex ploit he completed a term in the Missouri State prison. Though he has lost his right arm, lie is said to be able to make a fac simile of any signature with his left hand. Lord Wolseley on Correspondents. Wulse/ey's Sollisrs' Pockethook. Newspaper correspondents and all that race of drones are an incumbrance to an army, They eat the rations of fighting men, and do not work at all.

A Notable Arrest. C. H. OBERBECK, Deputy Sheriff, St. Louis, Mo., in 1882 took Warner’s Safe Cure for a very severe kidney and liver complaint; he had lost 75 pounds in weight under the doctor’s care.
