President Harrison made but two ap¬ pointments Monday: George O. of Montana, surveyer-general of Mon¬ tana, and John Little, of Ohio, commis¬ sioner on behalf of the United States in the Venezuelan claims commission. He has accepted, and w ill be in Washington at a meeting Tuesday.

A rejiort received on Wednesday at the board of steam engineering, navy de¬ partment, from one of the inspectors on the new .cruiser, Charleston, built for the government, states that the hoise power developed by the ship in her re¬ cent official run will probably not be reported above 0,700 by the trial board. If this be confirmed by the board’s official report the ship will have failed to make the contract requirement of 7,000 horse power by 300, which will subject her builders to a penalty of $30,000. ■The vessel was built on the plans of the Kan itwakan, English designed, which had about twenty-four trials before she was accepted. It is not probable that the war de¬ partment will take any steps in the mat¬ ter of removing the band of Apaches from Mount Vernon barra&cs, Alabama. Secretary Proctor said Tuesday morning: “There is a mendstory statue providing for the cor.fiDment of the Indians at some government barracks, and there is no 'better place than where they now are.” The Indian Rights association has made b propostiou to purchase a large tract of land iu North Carolina, to which the Indians could be removed and where they could live in partial freedom, headed by that old w*rrior Geronimo; but the sec¬ retary is not disposed to act until he sees the purchase consumated. A DETERMINED SUICIDE, A PROMINENT RAILROAD AND REAL ES¬ TATE MAN OF FLORIDA KILLS HIMSELF. A special from Seville, Fla., says: William Kemble Leute, a committed prominent railroad and real estate man, suicide here on Wednesday. He began his work of self-destruction by slashing his forearm with a sharp razor, and then took a large dose of morphine, and ended by discharging a revolver into his brain. He died almost instantly He was a man of considerable means, and was largely interested in the town of Seville, being heavily invested in her lands, railroads, water-works, lumber mills and other en¬ terprises. It is said that nearly all of his inheritance has been either lost or tied up in such a manner that it is un remu¬ nerative to him, and fear that he had in¬ volved others iu his reverses, drove him to desperation and suicide. KILLED BY THE ELIXIR. AV OHIO MAN SUBMITS TO AN INJECTION OF THE FLUID AND DIES. At Dayton, Ohio, Samuel C. Sho walter, 'aged sixty-nine, injection voluntarily of the submitted to an elixir of life three weeks ago, hoping for relief from rheumatism, and died on 3Ionday from the effects of the treat¬ ment. Immediately after the injection was made, his limbs began to swell and his whole system was permeated in in with his blood poison. Gangrene chipped set off in body, it being putrid flesh hand, and he flakes hs large as .a man's became a horrible object before death relieved him of his sufferings. A TOWN DESTROYED. A special from Great Falls, Mont., says: News has just been received that Barker was almost totally destroyed by fire Monday. The fire started in the miners’ camp three doors below Zeigler s house and 6wept from there up the valley burning all the eastern portion of the camp.

A COMPANY ORGANIZED TO MANUFACTURE FINE STRAW BAGGING IN SOUTH CAROLINA. It was announced in Charleston, S. C., on Saturday that a company had been organized and will at once enter upon the manufacture of cotton bagging from the fibre of the pine straw. TDe factory will be ouilt at Summerville, twenty-two miles from that place. The site is in the thickest part of the pine forest in the state. The company have also been of¬ fered the privilege of gathering pine straw from a tract of territory covering thousands of acres, so that the material for t£e manufacture of bagging will cost nothing but the price of collecting and hauling it. Several bales of cotton cov¬ ered with pine straw bagging were re¬ I ceived at Charleston last year and sub j ectec j to the severest test of screw, hook, ’ fire and water, ’ and stood it even bette r than commoa jute bagging . The new factory is expected to commence work as soon as the building and ma &re SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS. L * War balloons are being made in land for the French army. Paraftutes have been adopted in Ger* many for campaigning purposes. An average of five feet of water is es¬ timated to fall annually over the whole earth. An Italian engineer has successfully presented uo incrustation of steam boilers by the use of sugar. There is quite an agitation on .this side the water in favor of metal ties in¬ stead of depleting our forests year by year. The electrical treatment of sewage bids fair to give sanitary engineers one of the most valuable improvements sub¬ mitted to them in a long time. Worcester, Mass., has a factory foi the manufacture of corrugated steel* barrel hoops, lately invented, which are said to be clastic, uud hug barrels or packages tightly. They are welded ia two seconds. It is pointed out that when much dust is present in tho atmosphere tho heat of the sun is greatly absorbed, hence it seems probable that dust particles may aid in the formation of fogs in another way than by acting as nuclei. Professor Elisha Gray remarks that electrical science has made a greater ad¬ vance in the last twenty years than in all the G000 historic years preceding. More is discovered in one day now than in a thousand years of tho middle ages. A Lewiston (Me.) paper says: “A method of distinguishing the mushroom from the poisonous toadstool is said to be by sprinkling salt on the underside. If it turns black the mushroom is good; if yellow*, it is poisonous. Time should be giveu the salt to act.” It has been noticed that a jet of com pressed gas inflicts upon the body an injury of the same nature as a burn. Dr. B. W. Richardson has accordingly suggested the use of compressed gas—* carbonic acid as most convenient—as a cautery, with advantages in removing warts, etc. The fastest locomotive employed in carrying the Scotch mail, where the highest rate of speed in England is at¬ tained, has three cylinders, a new de¬ parture in locomotive building, and a seven-feQt driving wheal. It has been made specially for high speed w ; tk heavy trains. The wiring of the Parliament Build¬ ing in Vienna has been quite ingeniously accomplished, the principal cable run¬ ning through one of the many ventilat¬ ing pipes, tho wires being carried through the gas piping, thereby allow¬ ing tho elaborate decorations on the walls to remain uninjured. An artesian well in North City, a suburb of St. Augustine, Fla., is said to have the largest flow of any artesian well in the world. It is an eight-inch well, and its flow exceeds the highest expectations. From a measurement made by Dr. J. K. Rainey, the flow ex¬ ceeds 8000 gallons per minute, or over 11,500,000 gallons every twenty-four hours. While wo expect to find the cars upon the head in the larger animals, wo look ia vain for the same arrangement in the lower invertebrate creatures. Many of these, like the scallop, have no head; others, like crabs and lobsters, have no ears placed on their horns or at ten me; others, like the green grass¬ hopper, have the ear on the foreleg; others, like the fresh-water shrimp, have it on the tail. Alaska Currants. The dried currant-like fruit fr referred to by travellers in / gathered by the Indians in quantities, is not a true currant, berries of the Shepherd ia arg large shrub known in our N States and Territories as the berry. A correspondent resit Fort Wrangle, Alaska, writes this is about the only native edib of the country, and the Induing ciate it so highly that they gatL dry it for winter use, the ben • only serving as an agreeable ac 1 but no doubt adding much to t of the consumer, While this h ud and prolific shrub is a native of the colder regions of the Rocky Mountains from New Mexico northward to Alaska, it also thrives in the gardens of our eastern cities and their suburbs, where it has been sparingly cultivated for the past half century, and perhaps for ft longer time. Antiquity of the Glove. No*article of attire has more of inter¬ est in its associations and history than gloves; for while the interest attaching to most other garments has been mainly that of utility,, to gloves has been at¬ tached a varied and wide spread sym¬ bolism, giving them an exalted place and linking them with many curious observances, and social. regal, ecclesiastical, mili¬ tary glove lias been the The emblem of power and of purity, of defiance and subjection. Lands and personal prop¬ erty were once conveyed authority by the delivery > * of a glove; the of kings over provinces was attested by presenting u glove; kings invested barons with do¬ minion by bestowing on the favorite one of the kingly iegal gloves; and many ecclesi¬ astical ana ceremonies could only be performed purity. with white gloves, the emblems of The antiquity of gloves is very great; they doubtless antedate history, for the earliest literature alludes to them, and they have been known an<l worn from the earliest ages of which we have any knowledge. Homer, in the “Odyssey, describes Laertes, the farmer-king, the lather of Ulys es, in his retirement: “While gloves secured his hands to shield them from the thorns.” Xeno¬ phon jeers at tho Persians for wearing gloves as a protection from tho cold; not only did they have umbrellas borne over tlwm in summer, not being content with the shade of tho trees and rocks, but in the winter it is not sufficient for them to clothe their heads, and their bodies, and their feet, bqfc they have coverings made of hair for their hands and their lingers. In their earlier days tho Greeks and the Homans scorned such effeminacy, but at a later day, in tho time of Pliny, the unci© of that lively historian is described as traveling with an amanuensis “ who wore gloves upon his hands in winter lost the sever¬ ity of the weather should make him lose any time ” in writing. From time immemorial tiie glove has had a legal significance in oriental countries in the transfer of property, just as the “bind “God’s-penny” bargain’’' in was tho formerly used to a west. A disputed —Ruth iv. passage and in 8—reads: the Old “Now Testament this 7 was the manner in former time in Israel, concerning changing, redeeming confirm and all concerning things; for to a neighbor; man plucked and off this his shoe, and testimony g ive to his in was a Israel.” It is now commonly agreed by scholars that the word * hoe, should be rendered {/low, for in the Ohaldaio para¬ phrase tho word is rendered “tho case or covering of tho right hand;” and ac¬ cepting this view, it appears that among the Israelites tho passing of a glove was the method of transferring property. Later tho glovo, as a pledge or emblem of conveyance, came into use among the Homans, whose ancient law held prop¬ erty to havo passed with its literal transfer, or of part of it, into the hand of the purchaser; and tho glove, doubt l»*oo nu'ii matter symbolized of cotivoiA-— this --. t/w>v actual +1.0 p ! aco of and trausfe’’ —I The Haberdasher. A Cyclone Relic. A western blacksmith has a relic of a cyclone which occurred ten years ago. This witness of one of the freaks of the great storm is a black quart bottle, bent by some mysterious force into an ellipse, without a crack or break iu the glm-s that the closest scrutiny can discover. The neck of the bottle actually toucl cs the edge of the bottom, and tho facttlm. the glass was not broken in any way bj the strange force of the storm,is shown by its holding water or any other fluid. By gradually turning the bottle os the water is poured in, it can be nearly filled to its full capacity, so as to show the perfect soundness of the material. The heeding of the bottle is probably due to the force of electricity. An authentic silver dollar, of the Con¬ federate States, is valued by coin col¬ lectors at $1,000. Only a few were coined before the Confederate mint ran out of silver. Shortest, Quickest and Bent.
