A. Washington telegram lo the New York

Icai and Bnrgieal History of tha War have bean

There were from nine to eleven set* printed for
each Senator and member of tbe House. Oae
would suppose tbst every memoer wool! have
at least that small number of physicians in hia
district to whom he would esteem it a privilege
to send the set; but, mysteriouly, a large
number of seta found their way into tha heads
of dealers la seeond-baud books and document
brokers, and at one time they were selling for
nine to ten dollan a set. The price hat since
increased somewhat, but there are still sets to
be bad at very moderate priees compared with
the ooel to tbe Government. There is no donbt
that several members sold their sets outright,
or allowed persona connected with or dependant
npon them to make sales and pocket the prior.
Is it in order to aak what the members from
Georgia did with their copies? We have a few
physicians and surgeons in this Bute, but if
any of them have been the reoipients of this
very valuable work—one, too, that would have
been ao acceptable to them—we have not beard
of it. Have any of our medical friends re

The Christian Index.
This old, honored and able organ of tbe Bap
tists of Georgia and the cotton-growiDg regions,
as heretofore annonneed, has passed into the
hands of several new proprietors, who will ope-
rate under the firm name of Jas. P. Harrison A
Oo. in a general business of publication snd
printing. Mr. Harrison hts displayed signal
ability in this department heretofore, and we
are confident will prove a valuable leader iu tbo
w enterprise. Hev. D. E. Butler and Dr. J.
Lawton, also of the fi-m, are associated with
Rev. Dr. Shaver in the editorial direotion of the
Index. Both are fine writers and highly intelli
gent gentlemen. The return of Dr. Bhavor to
the poiilion of editorial chief will delight all
the readers of the Index. Under its new aus
pices, we anticipate a career of great vigor
and nsefulnesa for the Index, and are oonfident
wilt maintain a very influential and promi
nent position among tbe religions journals of
the day.
“Cham.”
A correspondent of the London Wine Trade
Review, writing from Champagne, after a oare-
ful examination of the most trustworthy ao-
oonnts from all quarters, says that two-thirds of
the champagne orop has been annihilated, and
that the loss may be still greater in consequence
of tbe dangerous contingencies of the remain
ing months preceding the vintage. In conse
quence of this state of affairs, the Wine Trade
Review says that wines in bottle as well as
wines in wood have increased largely in price.
That journal is oertainly not well informed of
tho oapaoitles of this country for making up
defioienoes In tbs champagne grape orop, or it
wonld not havo ventured to prediot a rise in
prioe on aooount of the failure of tha grape in
Franoe. There was an enormous orop of apples
in New Jersey last year, and there need be no
inorease in the prioe of champagne in this
country aa long as the older of that orop remains
un consumed.

low students of Meroer University, during the
twribl* visitation of meningitis, has determined
to dovoto his vacation to the teaohing of vocal
matte in which ho Is a proficient. The under
taking ta laudable, aud wo are sure our young
friend will find no look pnpils wherever be
advertises for a olasa. Bush personal msrit as
he possesses, coupled with acknowledged mall
et! ability, oannot fail of suooess.
Tlx CsoLiaA in Nashville is reported as on
tit inorease. A telegram of tha 28th lost, to
tin Atlanta Constitution of yesterday says:
"It Is impoasible this afternoon to get a cor
net report of the deaths from cholera to day,
but the disease is as bad. If not worse, than
it was yesterday. Many that use the greatest
precaution* are taken with it, and it prevails in

can of Wednesday say* there were forty-four
deaths from the disease for twenty-fonr hour*

*Ai far aa the people of the Northern btates
are concerned, without distinction of party,they
have bnt one wish for tbe South, and that is a
hearty and strong wish for Its prosperity. They
hope, snd they believe, that tbe ‘Southern ques
tion' has entered for the last time into national
polities. They desire for tto future to dtal with
the Southern people without any reference to
politio*. to bny of them and eell to them, and
to work with them as they dr. with each other,
on the basis of mutual good will, and ‘he prac
tical relatione of common oittatnship. If the
the Southern people wtU devote themselves in
politics to tbe task of securing good govern
ment for their Btates and minor districts, tbs
people of tbe North will give them their sym
pathy. and will rejoloe in whatever suooess they
may attain. It is a task the people of sU the
States most soon undertake in earnest, and the
present is an excellent season, everywhere, to
begin.”
Thus the New York Timas. Fine words but-
ter no parsnips, however. This Is all very
■weet and satisfactory, bnt It won’t wash—at
least H never has. When the Time3 says the
North will give the South ils sympathy, and will
rejoioe at onr success in securing good State
governments, wo think of Louisiana and won
der if the Times has forgotten that illustration
of Northern sympathy and rejoioing. The
Times moat certainly think the people of the
Sonth have neither sense not memory when it
endeavor to foroe anoh flapdoodle down their
throats.

As a remedy a small party advocate simply a

This party seems sanguine that suoh a treaty

The Wrong* of the atargeou.
A correspondent of the Biohmond Dispatch
who is luxuriating at Old Point Comfort, and
pnrsning his investigations into tha habits and
flavor of thennmeronacraatnraawhiah the green
seas do inhabit in that region, has something
to tell about tha sturgeon whloh la new at least
to us. Saith ha i
And, now, I want to tell you a thing about
tbe sturgeon, whloh is new to me: People who
see that fish make its groat leaps out of tha water
i Link he is very j illy and haviDg a high old time.
It is a geest mistake. He is trying to disengage
from his gills and body the lampreys and other
eels which eat into hia flesh. The sturgeon has
no teeth; he has a funnel-shaped month beneath
his head, and a nose forward of that, with which
he stirs np the mud and geta his food, whloh ha
socks in with his mouth. So ha has no means
of defenoo when attacked, bnt must “run for
it.” His rows of plates are some protection;
but the tender flash along hia belly ia maeh
coveted by ,uj. Inn. and voracious
wretches as eels. The eel is especially tona or
the eggs of the sturgeon, and will tunnel a way
by tbe analorfice and enter tbe body of tbe poor
vietim in pursuit of bis favorite food. Could there
be a more excruciating torture! To be absolutely
eaten alive! It is enough to raise a crusade against
eels amongst all generous and humane people,
the more especially when we consider what ex
cellent food for man the sturgeon is! I oonld
give you a most interesting chapter on the
amrgeon, bnt I forbear, and I bear tha reader
say “thank God!” I will say, however, that
the stnrgeon is really tbe best and most useful
of all fish in the Richmond market, and he is
not appreciated beoinse he is for ao long a
season in such abundanoe. Sturgeon is good any
way, but for salad it bas no superior. In olden
times it was a royal disb, and was served with
great pomp in anoient Greece and Rome. There
are many varieties of stnrgeon; one, that is
fonnd in the Caspian sea, known aa tbe sterlet,
which grows only to the length of two or three
feet, is reported to be the moat delioate and
palatable of all the varieties. The United States
Fish Commissioner, Mr. Baird, is endeavoring
to propagate it in this oountry. It wonld

The Chinese Court oo Parade,
It seems that the Mikado of Japan is not the
only Oriental potentate who has forsaken tho
ancient Bednsion of his august rank. The Em
peror of China has actually shown himself to the
vulgar world outside of the Dragon Palace. JBa
lately paid to the tombs of his anosttora the
annual visit which Is exacted of every oocupant
of the imperial throne. On coming forth from
the palace, he asked where the all people were.
The streets, according to custom, were as de
serted as tb030 of Coventry when Lady Godiva
took her famous horseback exeroise; even the
lattices and doors were scaled with stripe of pa.
per. The Son of Heaven, when told that no
common eye was permitted to look npon the
form of the Emperor of China, replied
rather irreverently, that be did not see
why the people should not see him.—
Accordingly, when ho returned from the
ancestral tombs, after several days’ ab
sence, the Imperial show was witnessed by
all who chose to look. An English correspond
ent of a Shanghai journal, who stood in line
most loyally several hours to gaze upon the
person of “the Solitary Man," describes the
Emperor as looking about forty years of age,
rather than nineteen, as be is reputed to be.
He bad a dissipated look, a long, pointed faee,
with a worn expression. Tbe Empress Dowager
and Empress Mother aeeompanied him, each
borne in chair* on man’s shoulder*. Tha pro
cession was a mob of offloiala and spearmen,
and was oonoluded with eighteen oarta covered
with yellow cloth containing the Imperial eon-
oubines. Tha exhibition, though significant,
was disappointing to the foreign spectators. .

Rev. B. F. Tharp, addressing the Baptiste
through the Christian Index, says:
I wish the people to give interest bearing
notes, a* the most pmetical way for the endow
ment ot the University. It oan be dona on the
Peter Penoe plan; bnt that wonld require too
much time aud labor. It oould be done if a
sufficient number of our friend* would endow
each a professorship. That ia tha nearest way,
and the shortest route; but to that there are
two objection*. First, few are able; and
aeoend, pait of that few are unwilling. Most
of that olaas ot man are old, and their estates
are encumbered, and they are under outaide
pressure. _ . ...
The most practical way, therefore, ia to giro
notes due some time in the future, pay tha
interest annually, and pay principal at maturi
ty That will furnish endowment, pay current
expenses, snd find at same time safe invest
ment. If enough of our friends would do this,
we could soon dispense with all tuition; and by
reducing board, famishing education to all the
poor at minimum cost. Thar* are plenty of
them able to give on these terms. God, who
makes his people his depositary, does not allow
one act of giving to bankrupt them. He will
famish the means of giving to those who seek
hia giory by giving. Let us therefore give
these “time notes" in abundanoe; pay inter**
promptly to tha Treasurer; pay principal when
due, end we ahall make our dear old Institution
all we wish her to be.

A Whale Family Murdered.
Bxlfast, ilz , June 1C—This morning a
farmer, his wife and two ohildren, living 18
miles from here, were found dead in bed. The
murdered min’s brother, John T. Gordon, has
been arrested on snspioion.
John GordoB, a man seventy years old, had
recently oooveyed to hia son Almon M. hia farm,
worth $5,000, taking back a mortgage for life
for tbe support of himself and wife. The other
son, John T., was dissatisfied with the arrange-
ment, and probably thought that by the death
of his brother and family the property wonld
fall to him. This ia the only motive thns far
assigned. At the time of tbo murder tbe old
people were absent on a visit. The inmates of
the honse were the murdered man, Almon M.
aged 25; Emma A , hia wife, aged 22; their
children, Ira B , aged 6; a little girl, aged 17
months; Anna, a niece, aged 9; John, 7,tbe broth-
er, and a hired man. Abont 3 o'olock a. sl,
the latter was awakened by the shrieks of a
little boy, and he immediately discovered that
the house was on fire. He informed the neigh-
bora, and the flames were extinguished without
much damage. The bodies of tbe father,
mother and infant who occupiod the same bed,
were soon found, maDgled, and so scorched as
to be hardly recognizable. The little boy, who
slept in the crib in the same room, waa severely
wounded, but may survive. Tbe bloody deed
waa evidently oommitled with an axe whioh was
found on the premises. Tbe wounds of tho
three murdered persons were inflicted upon the
head, and most have oiused instant death. Tbe
brother, John T., arrested on suspicion, is
twenty-eight years old, a farm laborer and un
married. He maintains sullen indifference,
refusing to answer any question, bnt saying
at the proper time be will defend himself. Tbe
coroner held the inquest this afternoon. Tbe
prisoner will probably be arraigned before the
polios oourt in this oily to-morrow.
Tbe Sort of Material Which la Being
Uses! In Making Army officers.
New York Herald West Point Letter ]
Tha first impression made on the mind of tbe
visitor who listens to the recitals of the osdets
ia that he hu made a mistake in entering the
elan room; that it U not an Amerioan, bnt an
English oompany assembled, and the first is
that the osdets secretly worship a Josh set np
somewhere in the Aeadamy, and that Josh Lord
Dnndreary. Wait and watch while a candidate
for adminion into the Amerioan army aa an
officer rises, and let your ear drink in the words
that flow from hia drilled and regulated lips as
he recites. Ha itapa forward to the blackboard
as if treading upon eggs, with the jerky, twisty
gait that only colons of the first families have,
and whioh ia seen to perfeotion in tbe walk of
English officers of tho nobility aa known to the
wanS’liiTutiTy'T'e!^ ln"\!ia ^an&V’Ee begins a
“haw, ah” almost indistinot drawl, very fash-
ionable, and, considering the circumstances,
very funny; continues in a strain of slurred
English, and ends his piece of explanatory an-
swer in broken words. This is the model oadet,
the oadet “in form,” the oadet most admired,
who elioita from tbe ladies the conclusive judg
ment, “How uioe!” obtains approving nodB
from the “grave and reverend seignora" of the
faculty, and on whom, in a vacant, helpless way,
tha Congressmen of the Board of Visitors
smile. Of oourse all the oadets are not so fa-
vored. There are some who prefer to be Amer
ican in everything, hut I greatly fear they are
in the minority. The cadet who acts as adju
tant at the evening parades is always a high
priest of Josh Dundreary. He ia very impres
sive when he reads ont the orders, inas
much as nobody oomprehendshim. The ladies
delight in him, though, and think him most en-
giging when least understood. Perhaps they
are right. It is a mistake, though, for these
young men to think that the ridionlons drawl
whioh Mr. Solhern makes so fanny on the stage
is soldierly or admirable. The English snobs
who affect that kind of inanity are not allowed
to praotioe it muoh in their army. A oadet at
Sandhurst or an officer in the field who would
“haw-haw,” and dilate his words in that fash-
ion, wonld be very likely to hear a disapproval
of it in very plain Eoglish from his superiors.
Bnobbery Is pleasing to weak-minded young
women and to the snob family in general; bnt
it ia very muoh out of plaoe in an army, espe
cially the aimy cf the United States.

Baltimore American Letter.]
There are very few houses in this oily in
which from ten to twenty families do not re
side, nor are there any bouses, in the now Mo
tion of the oity especially, which cover less than
tbe half of a square, though moat of them take
in the whole front, from corner to corner. The
lower story, and very frequently the two lower
stories, are taken for business, and the three or
four upper stories are let out to families. Many
of these families take more rooms than they re
quire, whioh they furnish and let out to stu
dents and others, at ao muoh per month. Thns
it is that almost every housekeeper haa furnish
ed rooms to rent. Many of these ocoupants of
rooms oontract with the landlady to furnish
them with the usual German breakfast, consist
ing of a cup of ooffee and a roil of bread. Tbe
rest of their meals are taken at the restanxants
and cafes. The only bnilding somewhat in the
style of the Viennese houses in Baltimore, is
that in the course of erection on the corner of
Charles and Centre streets," whioh is to be rent
ed in suites of rooms to families. It, however,
is to have a restaurant connected with it, and
will probably lead to the introdnotion of the
“Vienna flat” into Baltimore. Among the
poorer cIosms, there are some houses contain,
ing from eight hundred to three thousand peo
ple.
New York Gossip.
Tbe latest story touohing the Bowen-Beeeber-
Tilton scandal is, that Bowen will print a pam

His fnands say he haa been rapnaented as a

Thomas Nast, it ia asserted, haa had a very
liberal offer from the publishers of the Grsphio

A number of fashionable women have entered
inte * league against men who part their hair
in the middle—solemnly asseverating that they
will not have any inch In their train of admir
ers, or in their list of friends. Parting the hair
in the middle is a Billy fashion; but, if man
wish to be silly, they should have tha same
privilege to be that women have. The men, I
suppose, will now meet in oonclave, and declare
that they will not oonatenanoe tbe women who
