The Boston Globe says that Mr. Brackett, the republican candidate for governor of Massachusetts, is an oyster. In that case he will be in the soup next Tuesday. Prince Murat may handle Miss Caldwell’s ens i after all. These princes come high, b t, according to the ideas of young ladies wno would sell their souls for a title, they must be had. Mrs. Hannah White, of New York, com mitted suicide the other day because her daughter-in-law did not want her to do the family washing. Mrs. White was 76 years old, and the family says that she was not of sound mind. It is very easy to belieye that she was not. President Harrison has not been much of a patron of the theater since be was inau gurated. He has attended only one per formance, and that was a play in which Mile. Rhea took the leading part. This was a few nights ago. Mrs. Harrison, Secretary Rusk, Justice Miller, and Son Russell accompanied him. Dr. Talmage took with him on his trip to Palestine bis wife, a daughter, aud a son. The Cooks, tourist and excursion agents, arranged the trip for him, which is to last ten weeks and to cost him $5,000. He is to receive $22,000 for his book, “The Life of Christ,” which will be the outcome of his trip. While he is a ay he will write letters for those papers which print his sermons. Gov. Gordon is expected to visit Chicago soon to deliver aa address under the auspices of the ex-Confederate Association of that city. The association is trying to raise money to erect a confederate monu ment in Chicago, and it is unnecessary to say that Gov. Gordon is willing to lend a helping hand. It is to be hoped that the blood-thirsty Tribune , and the fire-eating Inter-Ocean will uot become alarmed at the governor’s invasion. Republican organs are trying to persuade themselves that, with the admission of the two Dakotas, Washington, and Montaua as states. New York will no longer be the pivotal state in presidential elections. They are very anxious to believe that they ooidi elect their candidate, even if New York went democratic; but it is safe to say that if Mr. Quay manages the next republican campaign, he will' expend a large part of the corruption fund in New York. The Boston Journal indorsee the state ment of the New York Tribune that “the southern democrats must consent to one of two things—fewer congressmen or more votes.” No doubt all of the other bloody- Shirt organs indorse it. They are mad be cause southern colored people can no longer be depended upon to vote the republican ticket, and if these voters persist in their Indifference to political matters, they will probably try to disfranchise them after awhile. Ex-Congressman Thomas, of Illinois, failed to get a position in President Harri son’s cabinet, and bo seems to have made up his mind not to accept anything els3. He was offered a foreign mission, but h declined it. The other day the President appointed him Cherokee commissioner, but ke refused the office. The President should invito Mr. Thomas to indicate what he wants. A republicsn who refuses two ap pointments in six months must be bettor than his party. The other day a burglar gained entrance Into the residence of George M. High, of Chicago. Mr. High and his family wore at dinner, and the burglar thought ho had a soft snap. As he entored tho parlor, ho •aw his reflection in a largo plate glass mirror, and mistaking it for someone else, he drew his revolver. Of course this act was reflected in the mirror, and the burglar hastened to open firo upon the eupposed man. Probably there hasn’t been so thor oughly frightened a burglar in a long time as this one was whoa he saw that his shots took no effect upon tho supposed antago nist, and when the supposed antagonist returned shot for shot. Tee burglar turned k upon his heels and ran out of the house. The Fall Elections. The political newt from the states in which elections will be held nsxt Tuesday is rather favorable to the democrats. They have good reasons for thinking that the result of the balloting will show that they are steadily gaining ground. The excellent record which Mr. Cleveland made as Presi dent is having a very goud effect, while the republicans are not entirely satisfied with President Harrison’s administration. The i democrats are making vigorous campaigns 1 in Ohio, New York, New Jersey, and Vir ginia. They may not carry either Ohio or New York, but if they do not the result will be very close. In Ohio they are very confident of electing their candidate for governor, and it would not be at all sur prising if they should secure a majority of the legislature. The republicans are re ported to be somewhat dispirited. They have made some serious blunders, which have lessened their chances for success. The great fight is being made in Vir ginia. The Republican party is making an extraordinary effort to get control of that state, aud the administration is doing all it can to assist it. The republican leaders in Virginia are in constant consultation with the leaders of the national Republican party, and the assertion is freely made that an immense amount of money is being sent to the state, to bo used ltrgetttng the blacks to go to the polls and vote the republican ticket. A few days ago the republican newspapers circulated the story that the democrats had little hope of carrying the state, and that Senator Barbour had inti mated that bis party was as good as beaten. Of course there was ro foundation for this story. Senator Harbour knows the state thoroughly, anil in Washington, a day or two ago, he gave it as his opinion that the democratic majority would be at least 30,000. The democrats are making a very popular campaign in both Massachusetts and Penn sylvania. They expect to greatly reduce the usual republican majorities in those states. In Massachusetts the tariff is play ing quite a conspicuous part in the political d.scussioas. The farmers are beginning to be doubtful whether they haven’t been making mistakes in adhering to the repub lican doctrine of high tariff. In Mississippi aud Maryland the demo crats will be successful, while in lowa and Nebraska the republicans will of course elect their ticket. There is not much doubt from present indications that all the elec tions will show decided democratic gain*. A Pittsburg Story. The story that is being circulated that Krupp, the great Prussian gun maker, is about to remove his entire plant from Essen, Germany, to Pittsburg, Pa., is so remarkable that it will hardly be believed until it is confirmed. It now rests upon tbe authority of a couple of Pittsburg lawyers, who say that they have been commissioned by Krupp* to purohase a site, which in cludes about five miles of river front at Pittsburg, for the Krupp works. But if Krupp really inteuds to transfer his immense works to this country, why should be select a site for them at Pitts burg? Why doesn’t he select a site in the iron fields of the south—at Birmingham or Chattanooga) Pittsburg is losing her su premacy os the center of an iron producing region. In fact, Alabama iron now finds a market in Pennsylvania. The chances are, however, that Krupp is not going to abandon Germany. The ex pense of transferring his plant to this coun try would bo too great, and, besides, his business is in a very flourishing condition. It is true that he is in considerable danger of having his immense works destroyed. There is no certainty that Germany will re main at peace for another year, and a hos tile army might reach Essen. Hut, even if the works should be paitly, or wholly, destroyed by an invading force, would it not cost less to put tbe plant in good condi tion again than it would to bring it to this country and put it into order for operating? It may be that Krupp intends to estab lish a branch of his works in Pittsburg. There would be nothing very remarkable in his doing that. Indeed, it would be a very reas mable undertaking, but that he proposes to bring his Essen plant here seems hardly probable. The statement the other day that a man named Levernier had just been paid $293 for taking part in the capture of ex-Pf esi dent Jefferson Davis brings out the fact that there are yet four people who took part in that capture who have not been paid by the government. Congress did not appropriate the money offered as a reward until three years after Mr. Davis was cap tured, and in the mean time claimants came forward by the score, many of whom had not the slightest connection with the mat ter. It was very difficult to tell who was, and who was not entitled to be paid, but a list was Anally completed, and it comprised 350 persona. Gen. Wilson and his three subordinates received $3,030 each, captains received $1,281, lieutenants $976, non-com missioned officers $402, and privates $293. Nearly all of the claims were paid s ion after the list was made out, but Levernier did not know until recently that his name was on the list, and the four who have not been paid are supposed to be ignorant of the sact that their names arc on it, or thev may bo dead. The government does not notify its creditors that they have & claim agaihkt it. Cheering news comes from Virginia. A special to the Now York Herald says that the democrats of that state are pushing their campaign work with great energy, al though they are very quiet about it. This is in accordance with the wish of Senator Barbour. The special says: “In Rich mond, merchants appear to be attending to business us usual. A stranger would not be Impressed with any election excitement, but ninety-nine out of every hundred men here are not only thinking about tho politi cal situation, but they are working for the success of the democratic ticket as they never worked before.” The democrats of other states are justified in being hopeful with regard to tho result in Virginia when they hear of such work as this being done. Tanner is still talking. He can’t talk back at Secretary Noble, because Secretary Noble has concluded that it wouldn’t be wise to give him another chance to do so, but he can, and does, talk about himself. It is a very interesting subject to the corporal, but his remarks are rather dry reading. He was asked to make a speech at a union vet eran’s meeting in Washington the other night, and he related a number of war in cidents in which he was the fancied hero. Henlso defended himself from the charge that he received wounds while running away from a battle field. All of this was highly edifying to the corporal, but the public ought to be protected from lush gar rulity, THE MORNING NEWS! SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1889. Tbe Bender Murderers. Tbe notorious Mrs. Bender, and her I daughter Kate, have been caught, and are on their way to Labette county, Kan., tbe scene of their many orimee. They were discovered at Niles, Mich. Mrs. Bender wsi living under the name of Mrs. Monroe, and the daughter was known as Mrs. Sarah E Davis. Mrs. Bender resisted arrest, and declared that she would not go back to Kansas. The officer* very quickly caused her to change her mind. The daughter, Kate, declared that she was not the Kate tbe officers wanted. She was fully recog nized, however, and finally made some damaging statements against her mother. The crimes with which these women are charged were committed in 1873 in a frame house that stood on the highway in Labette county, Kansas. The house was upon the open pairie, and was far removed from any other dwelling. The Bender family oc cupied it. A sign was displayed from it announcing to travelers that they could be accommodated with meals and lodging In 1873, there were very few people in that part of Kansas, but a great many travelers passed the Bender house on their way to counties further south. The Bender family consisted of three persons, the old man Bender, bis wife, and his daughter Kate. In the early part of 1873 a brother of Senator York, of Kansas, started for one of the southern counties. He did not reach his destination, and Senator York Began an investigation of his whereabouts. He was traced as far as the house of the Benders. The Bender family denied having seen him. Senator York began to suspect that he had been murdered, and determined to search the Bender premises. The Benders became alarmed and fled while Senator York was away seeking assistance. A search of the Bender premises resulted in startling revelations. Not only were the remains of the brother of Senator York found buried in tbe garden, but also tbe re mains of quite a large number of other persons, ail of whom, it appeared from the examination of the bodies, had been mur dered. The way the Benders dealt with their victims was this: They murdered only travelers who were alone, and who, they had reason to think, carried a good deal of money. Each victim at meal time was so placed that his back was close to a light quilt that was suspended from the ceiling. Behind this quilt old man Bender stood with a big club, and when a favorable opportunity presented itself he struck the unsuspecting guest a terrible blow on the buck of the head. The guest was knocked senseless, if not killed. He was at once dropped through a trap-door into the cellar, and there a knife was driven through his heart. Tbe body was then robbed, and at night was carried to the garden and buried. The discoveries made at the house of the Benders created a sensation, not only in Kansas but througbout the entire country. The Benders were vigorously pursued, aud it is said that old man Bender was caught in the Indian territory and shot The women escaped, and all trace of them was lost until they were discovered the other day in Michigan. Doubtless it will not be difficult to get sufficient evidence to bang them. The President Is Inconsistent. Those of the President’s political friends who are civil service teformers have beeu expecting that, in his message to congress, he would say a word in behalf of civil service reform. They are now in doubt whether he will do so or not. Indeed, they do not see how he can do so, and still be consistent. When he was inaugurated he announced that faithful and capable federal officers should be permitted to serve out their four years’ terms. The other day he removed Postmaster Harrity, of Philadelphia, and appointed Mr. John Field to succeed him. Mr. Harrity’s term would uot have expired until Doc. 1. It was admitted that he was faithful aud capable. Why, then, was he not permitted to serve out his term? There has been a suspicion in the public mind for a long time that the Presiden had forgotten his voluntary pledge to observe the spirit as well as the letter of the civil service laws, and this suspicion is rapidly becoming a conviction. The re moval of Postmaster Harrity is not the first instance in which he has violated his pledge with rospect to civil service reform. There was no good reason why Mr. Harrity should not have been permitted to serve out his term, except perhaps that the state election in Pennsylvania is close at hand and it is expected that Mr. Field, the new postmaster, will make changes among the employes of the postoffice that will tend to increase the republican majority. Asa matter of fact, however, there is no danger that the republicans will not carry the state. The republicans in Pennsylvania are over whelmingly in the majority, and the put ting of a republican in o the Philadelphia postoffice will not increase the majority a great deal. It seems to be the opinion that Mr. Wan amaker’s man, Field, was appointed at this time for no other purpose than to please Mr. Wanamaker. If that is the case, Mr. Wanamaker is not a very safe man to be so near the President. The President will find that out soon if he does not know it already. The reason there is a hitch in the engage ment of Prince Murat and Miss Caldwell is that Miss Caldwell was not sufficiently lib eral in money matters. The prince, talking of the matter, said: “1 mentioned nothing about money matters to my fiancee until last Saturday. Then I learned that I was to receive only $lO,OOO a year, and that should she die before me, leaving no heirs, all the money was to revert to her own family. ’Madam,’ I said, ‘you deceive yourself greatly. I am not an Italian. French princes are quoted ruuch higher in the matrimonial 6tock list,’ and with my most distinguished salutations I left.” It is alleged that the prince’s sister, who is rich, promised to give him more than $lO,OOO a year if he wouldn’t marry Mbs C-ild well The other day someone stole Postmaster General AYanamaker’s case of razors. The case contained six razori—one for each day except Sunday, probably. The Postmaster General is making a great to-do about the theft, and the AVashington police are on the lookout for the guilty party. It may be stated in this connection that Senator Quay is the man most likely to have the razors. He is angry with Mr. Wanamaker because Mr. Field was appointed pistmaster at Philadelphia, and he proposes t j cut off the Postmaster General’s official head with that official’s own razors. Mr. Quay is a bold, bad man. This ia about the season for the planting, and it is to be hoped that a good many trees will be planted in this city, this fall. They are greatly needed in some of the streets and squares. The people of the city do m t take as much interest in the planting a s , they should. CURRENT COMMENT. A Heavy Load for the Administration. From the Washington national Democrat. The character of Noble is fast coming to light. As for Bussey, he has already been exposed. These two men are enough to wreck any administration. Tanner ought to be thankful that he hssgot out of the “Joint,” tale precious pair is running without losing anything more than a few months of his time. What Troublea Them. From the Philadelphia Ledger (Rep.). Several churches In Geergia are distracted over large bequests a wealthy citizen, wno died lately at Athens. Os., left them, coupled with provisos that they should forfeit tbe money if they should at any time use organs at their ser vices. The organic trouble is in getting the money and having good music too. Such a Man Was Gen. Black. From the New York Timet ( Ind.). The best representative and friend the soldiers can have at the head of ihe pension bureau is an honest and well-equipped officer who will strive without fear or favor to execute the iaws as they stand. Such a friend the soldier* need, and their need was never so great as it has been since Tanner and his associates began to dis grace them. Enough to Create Anxiety. From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.). The reports concerning the condition of the Prince of Wales’ bealtu may be exaggerated, but there is undoubtedly a sufficient modicum of truth in them to create anxiety in official circles. Albert Edward Is by no means an i leal prl'H . ; but he is practical and clear-head and, ana his death would undoubtedly be followed Dy grave complications iu European politics. BRIGHT BITS.

Lord Salisbury is a tennis player, and a good one, too. Ford Iddesleigh (Stafford Northcote) was a capital croquet player. By the way cro quet is regaining its former popularity in Eng land. Vice President Morton is devoting his time to encouraging the fox hunters of the District of Cos umbia. A few days a£o he was inter viewed regarding the English sport. He claims that the anise-seed scent is better than a real fox, in that it is less cruel to the fox. Ex-President Andrew D. IVhite has returned to roraell university after his visit abroad, and has began a course of lectures on the “Causes of the French Revolution.” During the wiuler he will give a course in Washington on the “History of the German Empire.” Antonio Menucci of Clifton, Staten Island, Garibaldi’s old friend and business partner, died last Thursday In the 86th year of his age. He has steadily asserted for many years past that he invented the telephone in 1849, when he was chief mechanic of the Havana opera house. One of the oldest men in the publioaervice at Washington is Mr. Lawreuson of the poet office department. He has sworn into office all the pistmaster generals and their subordinates since Jackson’s administration. He is an octo genanan. Every day he rides to and from his ome in Baltimore, eighty miles in all. He works from 9a.m. to 4 o’olock p. m. He super intends the annual publication of tbe bids ten dered the postoflico department for postal service and postal supplies. He is vigorous and cheerful. Kino Kalakaua of the Sandwich Islands, who could not borrow enough money this summer to go to Paris, sent an interesting display to the exposition. One of the features of bis exhibit was a gigantic tureen, out of which he eats por ridge. Kalakaua is a bravo trencherman, aud can eat and drink more than any individual in his domain. He also sent to Paris a volume of his poems and a portrait of himself. The latter represents a large man dressed in a tight-fitting European military uniform. His breast is cov ered with orders. H rnry Adams, the historian, son of the late Charles Frauds Adams, lives In Washington, and is considered a society wit. It would sur prise many Washingtonians who know him to be told of his contributions to American his tory. Mr. Adams is a small man physically, rather reserved in mauner. He has a fine library, and his collection of etchings is very valuatile. He is very fond of flowers, and raises them in profusion. He is Dow engaged on the later volumes of his “Hißtory of the United States.” His work will end with the admin istration of Madison. Prepared by a combination, proportion and process peculiar to itself, Hood's Sarsa parilla accomplishes cures hitherto un known. • • - Beau Hickman’s Nerve. From the Baltimore American. Oount do Arnaud, a well-known Russian, re lated to your correspondent to day an exneri ence he had with the historically notorious Beau Hickman, which Is typically characteristic of that vreat wag. “When I first came to Washington In 1857,” said Count de Arnaud, “I put up at the old National hotel, and immediately sought the acquaintance of Henry Clay, to whom I had a letter of introduction from one of the highest government officials at St. Petersburg. I found Mr. Flay In his private rooms at the hotel, and a f ter a long talk with him we strolled into the Ghby Of the hostelry. I could speak little English, aud having a very foreign atmosphere, '““ediAtoiy attracted the attention of Beau Hickman, who was one of the crowd of ‘hangers on’ around the place. He approached me in rreat dignity, and said, with the courtesy of a Frenchman; “ ‘Youjare a stranger here? I believe you have juit arrived from Russia?’ ' 'Yes, sir;’ I replied. ‘I hare just arrived from the capital of Russia.’ “ ‘Well, sir.’ continued Hickman, ’it is cus tomary for strangers arriving here to give me money.’ “Tue air of the man and the extreme earnest ness with which he spoke impressed me that he was a head tax collector or a passport censor, like we have in Russia, and I presumed that the immediate payment of any demand he might make was necessary. I noticed Mr. Clay, who °niy a short distance from me, smile hlandly as he watched the interview which Hickman was holding with me. Finally, I said: How much must I give you?’ “ ‘lt is customary,’ said Hickman, ‘to give me from $1 to ss.’ “I tuougnt that I would show myself princely, and immediately placed a $5 coin in the man's hand and turned to Mr. Clay, who expressed astonishment that I should have suffered my self to b) bled as I had. Greatly to my sur prise, Hickman approached Mr. Clay, and mak ing the most profound salaam, inquired after his health. I thought I would cap the climax by asking Hickman to take somethiug at tiie bar. He declined with great grace, saying that he did aot drink, but said he would go into the counter and propose a toast. He did so, and this is what be gave us: “‘Here’s to the American eagle and to the Russian bear; One’s got the feathers and the other’s got the hair; Put them together and they will make a pair.' ” Fifth Avenue’s Latest Fad. From the New York Press. “You mean a dog collar,” said a reporter to the omniscient society man. “No, sir; I mean a dog ring. You see fashion able people who love their pets tired of gold and silver and studded collars, so after much laborious brain searching they hit upon the idea of a jeweled ring.” “Isn't the ring liable to slip off the animal’s leg while in action?” “It isn't for the leg. It’s for the tail.” “Don’t you think their jewels will excite the cupidity of and g-stoalers?” “Undoubtedly; but you must remember they will only be worn by animals who are well able to take care of themselves.” “Don’t you think it would be an excellent idea if society people provided their dogs with eye-glasses and tooth picks?” “I never gave the subject any thought.” “And with increasing civilization, culture and refinement, auzhtn’t society cats to be provided with bracelets?” “Really, now, don’t ask me such questions. \Ve men look after the dogs. The welfare and adornment of the cats is a matter for the con sideration of the la Ues.” At first the reporter was inclined to believe that his informant, who sucked most of his knowledge from the head of a walking stick, was lying with Mnnchausen-like aplomb. A stroll up Fifth avenue, however, convinced him that he had not been listening to an innocent fiction. Within a quarter of an hour half a dozen ring-tailed bulldogs were encountered. Each of them waddled along with a proper pride, and each of them was accompanied by one or more of those vapid specimens of in cipient manhood, known as dudes. Manufacturing a Nose. ’"*■? From the New York World. Mrs. R. E. Hoffman ot No. 39 Wanjer street, Brooklyn, lost her nose some years ago through disease, which ate away the bone that formed the bridge, causing the organ to gradually sink beneath the level of the face, until the most frightful disfigurement had resulted. A cavity, marked at its lower extremity by the shrunken nostrils, supplied the place of the once quite prominent nose. Mrs. H off man is about 40 vears old, and, not satisfied with a rubber sub stitute for the original nose, allowed Dr. F. L. Tetamore of the Long Island college hospital to operate on her yesterday to make anew one. He raised the sunken skin that once covered the woman’s nose, and divided it lengthwise. From a live chicken the surgeon then re moved the breast bone, leaving on the tender oartilaginous filament and perios teum. These latter he sewed to the naked flesh of the nose, and over the bone he drew a portion of the periosteum cut from the fore head of the woman. Dr. Tetamore asserts he has two ebanees of success. Using the breast bone of a fowl furnished the proper shape of bone for a bridge for the nose. It had never before been tried, and he felt uncertain if it would adhere, and remain live bone and tissue. If it did not, its removal would not disarrange the processes that might go on for a nose without it. From the periosteum of the fore head he expected bone to develop, which, if added to that supplied by tbe chicken bone, would give the woman a rather large Roman nose, or, if not, would in time be sufficient to sustain the flesh above it. Two months would show for sure the result of the experiment, Dr. Tetamore said. A Million and a Half in Bills. From the Philadelphia Press. Two men walked rapidly down AVall street yesterday afternoon and entered one of the prominent banking institutions. They were sturdy, heavy set men. One carried a small black sachel. Both kept their eyes roaming from side to side. I followed them into the bank. The man with the sachel sat down, dropping the bag carelessly on the floor. The other went into the receiving teller’s inclosure, reached down in his breast pocket and extracted a package of bills. These were hastily counted, and tbe two strangers left. The teller jammed the bills into an envelope, sealed it and pitched it into a safe, afterward closing the door in a perfunctory manner. The entire transaction oecupied less than two minutes. Then the teller turned to me and said: “How much do you think was in that pack age?” ‘‘Why, about $500.” “Yes, and a little more. It contained one million four hundred and forty odd thousand.” “You don’t mean it!” “Yes,” he said, showing his memoranda. “You see, it’s nearly all iu $lO,OOO bills. There is not great danger in carrying notes of that denomination, because, except he*e in New York, they are so seldom used that suspicion would at once be directed toward any one who attempted to negotiate them. ” “One thing still puzzled me. “What did the messenger have in his sachel?” “Nothing but a half brick. The sachel is car ried as a blind, to throw any possible thief off the track.” _ A Pawnbroker’s Odd Possessions. From the New York Star. Passing along Third avenue yesterday I saw a woll-known pawnbroker, whom we will call.’Mr ant Bmiiing as if something very droll or pieas- X, had occurred. “What are you smiling about, Mr. X?” I asked. “Is business brisk?” “Oh, business is about As usual, but do you see that fashionably dressed young man just turning the corner? Well, he has just left with me half a dozen quart bottles of champagne, on which I lent him $lO. It is as good almost as money. Why did he pawn it? I give it up. Perhaps his father has lots of wine In his cellar, but will not give him pocket money. Oh, I take in ourions things. An actress left me her child one time, and I gave her $25 on it. She redeemed the little one an hour later. On an other occasion I got in a thirty-two pound salmon, alive. AVhat do you think of that? and at another tiqae a lovely Newfoundland pup, which I have now, grown up to a dog, which I would not part with for $100.” Mia understood. From Harper's Young People, Two little sand heaps by the sea, As much alike as pea and pea. Beside one heap a little lad With serious eyes, and all intent Upon his work, with patience had Molded a mound, and as I went Past him, I wondered what it meant. “A pie?” I asked. “A fort,” said ho. Beside the other pile of sand There sat a tiny gold haired maid; She patted with her baby hand The warm white hillock, and I said, “That is a noble fort you’ve inado.” “No, ’tis a pie” she answered me. We grown folk hardly understand The happy fancies children Lave. Busy amid the s a beach sand. That is washed wnite by many a wave: The boy would be a patriot brave, A housewife would his sister be. “Now, let good digestion wait on Appe tite, and health on both," is a favorite toast after taking Angostura Bitters.

Most elaborate preparations are already being made for the census operations in India next year, especially in connection with out lying countries like C&shmere and upper Bur- Indeed, it is foared that the idea of tAKing the census in the latter country may nave to be abandoned, owing to the occupation being so recent, and to a census never having been taken under the native kings. At the present moment the Chinese govern ment is on the lookout In J-ondon for several capable men in various branches to go out to nnHnS X Professors on tolerably good salaries During the past year or eigtitfe** months about a dozen gentlemen hav* tuna* sent out from England in that capacity to thawario us arsenals, where schools for the training of young Chinese •reestablished, but severaleiure are wanted, especially one for chemistry, one for miniog, and one for International law.

The house that Dickens coveted all his life, until he got It; the mark of his ambition, the cherished home of his manhood, the spot associated with all that is . England’s great, popular novelist, is ,° anyone who cares to invest some S W.OOO m it, for that is the price set on it. Probably some American with a reverence for Dickens will buy it. Englishmen no longer have a reverence for Dickens. They do not read his books, they do not visit his house, they do not cherish his memory. No other writer since Shakespeare has so shown them to themselves, and once he was their idol. Now, none so poor to do him reverence. The change does not speak well for his countrymen; but we cannot stop to talk about that now; the monument of one of the world’s best writers is for sab\ and some of his admirers should purchase it anH u P u • or thafc rev ulsiou of sentiment to him which is sure to come. % A discussion is going on in the Pall Mall Gazette about the advantages or disadvantages th ® cold in the morning. To judge by the effusiveness of the cold-tubbists, says the iNew York Jreif, one would suppose that lif wit.iout a cold matutinal tub is hardly worth living. The fact is that what suits one persou does not suit another. Cleanliness is desirable but whether this be attained by means of warm water or of cold water is, so far as health is concerned, a matter of absolute unimportance. One thing, however, is certain the warm tubber who soaps himself all over is a good deal cleaner than the oold-fcubber who dispenses with soap. Mere sponging may be invigorating, but without soap it is not cleansing. This is what Mr. Labouchere thinks, and I quite agree with him. I believe, however, in a combination of warm and cold tubbing. Wash all over first with the warm water and soap, and then sponge off with cold water. This is a bath fit for the gods, and the goddesses, too. An Englishman who has spent some time at Colombo Ijas given a correspondent of the Bir mingham (England! Post an idea of the present life and surroundings of Arabi Pasha. He states that the Egyptian exile i < falling into a state of despondency. A few years ago he was altogetner a jovial and well-conditioned fellow now he looks dyspeptic and unhappy, and wears , years as though they were many more. While his companions seem to live In ease and comrort, and are determined to enjoy the life to which fate has for a while consigned them Arabi is restless, unhappy, and oppressed with a morbid fear that he will die in exile. Occasion ally he exhibits a little interest in the possibility of growing Ceylon products in Egypt. In the ordinary amusements of the isle he takes little interest, and the monotony of his life seems to be only varied by occasional drives to the houses of the more popular members of Colombo so ciety, a visit to the cinnamon gardens, or an in frequent stroll along the Gaile Face beach His family take life more easily. His wife and his daughters and his sons (one son excepted who remains altogether with his father) spend’ con siderable time in Egypt. “Some of the French gamblers on the west side of the town,” said a well-known republican politican who haunts Eight avenue. New York “play the most remarkable poker that I have’ overseen, and I have seen a lot of it in my time The French were always reckless in games of chance, and it is not to be wondered at very much, since the French government has floated all of its great schemes of late, from the Panama canal to the Paris exposition on the lottery plan, and they are all taking up pok-r here. There have been so many queer things at roulette that the French colony is giving it a wide berth, but poker seems to be pie for the multitude. Tney hammer away at it early and late, lose their tempers with every deal indulge in sarcasm every time the pot is raised and jabber like magpies. They play a dollar limit, and seem to have no accurate notion of the value of a hand. They always raise to the limit on a four flush, and very often on an inside straight, and if one happens to get hold of a losing full hand or a real flush he goes broke with a degree of enthusiasm and excitement that strikes the more phlegmatic Saxon as being the height of absurdity. There is one thing about it, however, and that is, the Frenchman enjoys his game a good deal more than an American, if appearances go for any thing.” A little group of men in the Hoffman house barroom, New York, were discussing the threatened advance in the price of champagne, when one of them, an ex-San Franciscan who spent a good.many years on the Pacific coast said: "Wbefi Senator Sharon’s daughter Flora was married to Sir Thomas Heskette, ten years ago, the scenes in their country house at Bel mont, where the wedding took place, would have made the eyes of those people who think an increase of 60 cents a bottle will affect the sale of champagne pop out of their heads. To say that champagne flowed like water would be as weak as it would be conventional. There was a tidal wave of itow#ome of the young men had dozens of bottles carried into an empty room, and there they played ninepins with them until the floor was so covered with broken glass and sloppy with champagne that they couidn’t stay there any longer. And then there was Billy Boyd,’ who made nobody has ever found out how much money in his fraudu lent Chinese certificate business. Some of his doings surpriseAbfen the champagne-blase circles of the PacmPTbast. For several months during his giddy caMttr, when he had more money than he QpaFf use in any other way, he tried a daily bath. It wasn't an economical spongwiaih from a quart of liquid in a wash-bowl, e.UUac. His valet tilled a bath tub half full of tbe sparkling stuff, and the festive Billy, who thought nothing was too good for him, jumped in and kicked about in it as if it had been so much Croton.” The question, Does climate cure consump tion? is answered in the affirmative, “beyond question,” by Dr. James A. Lindsay, of Belfast, Ireland, in the current number of the Popular Science Monthly. “It does it, not usually by a single or specific quality of the air or by any definite combination of meteorological condi tions," he says, “but by removing tne consump tive from the evil influences of unfavorable meteorological conditions and of an injurious soil, and transferring him to a climate where fresh air, sunshine and outdoor iife may be en joyed and their concomitant advantages rea lized. The best climates to cure phthisis are found at marine resorts and mountain re sorts. The best marine resort is a sea- toing ship a sailing vessel preferred—and the longer the voyage the better. Next are ocean islands, coast islands, and shore placer, of which Algiers, Tangier and Malaga are among the best. Of the dry inland resorts, the best are Nubia, ihe inferior parts of Algeria, the orange free state and the vast interior plains of Australia, of which the orange free siatc is recommended on acoount of its altitude. The mountain resorts have proved most efficacious in cases of delayed recovery from pneumonia, with threatening tuberculosis, chronic pleurisy with much fibroid change, incipient catarrh of the apex and chronic tubercular phthisis, with good reaction and the retention of fair consti tutional vigor. They are not good for advanced and much weakened cases; and, sieaking gen erally, only chronic cases with fair reaction are suitable for climatic treatment.” Horsford’a Acid Beware of imitations.
