Wisaisorox, M»J 2ft—Thocabinot meeting
to*day wm Attended by all (be niernbera ex*
cfpt Secretary Manning, who ia in New York
on private buaineaa. Tbe aeaaion waa devoted
to the consideration of a proposition looking
to the continuance of the world's ootton expo
sition at New Orleans beyond the thirty-first
instant, and allowing the government exhibits
to remain in ease the continuance is decided
upon. A general desire was expressed to aid
tbs exposition to the full extent ol the lew as
embodied in the act ol Incorporation, and the
various measures in support of the exposition,
but it Is said theta majority of the members
ol the cabinet were of opinion tbat the preel
dent had no legal right to grant an extension
of the original period fixed for the exposition.
The decision was accordingly adverse to a
continuance of tbe exposition,
Froleasor Riley, entomologist of the depart
ment ol agriculture, has been surprised for
seme time to bear of the ravages of the Hes
sian fly In the wheat fields on the Pacific coast.
Heretofore it has been supposed that this pest
did not exteno beyond the wheat belt east of
the Rocky mountains, and Professor Riley has
been inclined to attribute Ibe damage to an
other wheat insect. The entomologist has been
In communication with Professors Ullgard,
Dwlnnelle and other scientists in California,
and to-day received a specimen insect which
be pronounced tbe genuine Hessian ily, and
there is so longer a doubt tbat tbe Insect has
made its way to the Pacific slope.
The department of state received to-day a
report Irom Mr. Osborn, minister to Brasil, in
regard to the arrest and Imprisonment of
Bccklord Mackey. United States consul at Rio
Grande. Consul Mackey has also writ
ten lo his relatives hers, giving an ac
count ol the difficulty. It appears that Mackay
bsd for many weeks been violently assailed
for no ascertained cause, in the columns ol tho
newspaper at llio Grande, Do Sul. The ed
itor, one Amorim, tent Mackey a nolo by a
messenger on April 13th, proposing that il be
subscribed for ibe paper It would cease to at
tack him. He declined the offer and kicked
the ground that “interests of public service
required it." Rut the explanation of the ac
tion of the postnsrster-general it
that since tbe appointment of Meade
it hat come to the knowledge
of Vilas tbst Monde presided over a meeting
which was held at Jiaxleburst just alter the
November elections in I6t)3, and subsequently
to the killing of Matthews, tbe republican
postmaster, by a man named Wheeler on elec
tion day, tt which meeting the persons partic
ipating took tides,by resolution,with Wheeler,
and served notice on tho friends of Matthews
that they intended to stand by Wheelar in csss
they sought revenge for the killing
of Matthews. The appointment
of Meads was recommended by
Congreiamtn Barksdale, who represents tho
I backed up with
numerous lettcre and a strong petition signed
by residents of Ihe county. Upon those tbe
sppointment was made end the postmaster gen
eral says it waa made withont tbe knowledge
of Meade's having participated In tbe proceed
ings of tbe meeting referred to above. When
Ihe feels of hie participation in that meeting
became known to the department, his resig
nation wee requested. It is understood tbat
(bia la in conformity with a determination ol
tbe administration not to allow llaalt to bo-
coma involved in any ol tho political quarrola
which have occurred In (be south.
WsimauTox, May 2B._The Star, thla evon-
me,says tbat "several Colorado democrata who
called upon the praaident yesterday afternoon
to recommend some appointments, got a little
S lain talk. Tho president reminded
ism that Dr. J. Earnest Moor
had been appointed to a conaniahip
at their request and upon their indorsement,
hut ho proved unworthy. He intimated very
plainly that he did not like to trust men who
bed once milled him. The perty left without
securing anything. There Is another delega
tion ol Colorado democrats here, end they ut
terly repudiate the crowd who urged Merr’a
appointment, saying they do not represent
the democrata of that atate.
Wamiiaoroa, May 18.—Thera was a lull
attendance of the cabinet at the meeting to
day, including Secretary Lamar, who baa
partially recovered from hie recent attack of
■Ickneea. Tho question authoriiing the con
tinuance of the world'* exposition at Naw
Orleans wss again considered. Tho result Is
shown in a telegram sent by the president to
Senator Oibson later in tho day, of which tho
following ia a copy-

asnixoTon, May 28.—A few days ego a
’ York pensioner named Snyder, created
considerable aurprlso and some admiration by
calling at tba pension office end relinquishing
e pension of one thousand dollars annually.
Coupled with Snyder's story, it was related at
tbe pension office that other patriots had simi
larly relieved the public treasury from their
support when thoy had recorcrcil from their
It now appears that Snyder is insane end
irresponsible, and that bia penefon was granted
on tbat account, and consequently wilt not be
taken from him. He did not elate the cause
ol his disibility when he made hit generous
offer, but hia appearance and actions led. a
medical examiner to look up hia record, and
afterward! to tnbject him to examination,
with Ihe results stated,

Washington Correspondence New York Graphic
Tho experience of a woman who maybe
called Miss Dearborn, is a ease In point illus
trative of the sycophancy In tTuhington de
partments, no matter what the politics ol ther
reigning power.
Firs yean ago oho camo here on a visit
from Philadelphia, where aha bald a responsi
ble post in the faculty ol a seminary,
and called to seo a man aho knew
in the treasury. 8ho found him
about leering hia place, and that no
substitute had been found- Hit salary wai

"Wall, If 1 resigned In favor of anybody it
Would bo my friend over yonder; she’s smarter
than chain lightning," tha impulse sailed her
to speak for the place. “Perhaps Mist Dear
born will taka the place If you’lljrive it to
her," aha said, stepping nearer. The chief
waa to favorably impressed with her
that ha gars her a substitute’s work.
When a vacancy came sba wu given i
*1,200 place and act to work on aoUlin;
accounts. This la tha moat responsible anc.
difficult labor covered by the eivil.servlea law
clerks. Tbe man alongside hor got *1,800 for
doing the tarns work. But having expe
rienced the disproportionate rewards of wo-
msn’a labor u compared to men’s, Misa
Dearborn was not dissatisfied.
After six months ol close work tho new
clerk wu producing a highly fovorable im
pression when the hldoous rumor spread
about that sh* wu a democrat. To tie sura
she wu born in Georgia and had
been raised in tho south. But
there were many southern-born men in
the department who wore rabid republicans.
Tha chief heard tha awful news. Ho was a
prompt man. Ho want at once and uked
Miss Dearborn if it wu true that aha wu a
democrat. She smiled ploauntly, said she
wu u far u a woman could be, and want on
with hor work. Tha chiai want back scowl
ing to hia desk. Everybody in the office
trembled and turned tha cold shoulder on
their moat popular aaaociata with great unan
imity. The Idea of harboring a democrat all
this Uma, and » democrat with tha temerity
to confess IL From this time on aU thoso pit
iful cowaids dared not exchange a word with
the democrat except In a sneaking, underhand
way. And there were even some who, to cur
ry favor with their chief, lost ao chance to an
noy Misa Dearborn with wupish flings and
neglect of work. In foot, aho soon bocapna
aware that a conspiracy had been formed to
drive her out of tbo scrvlco.
A fewol tbo most despicable employee In
tuited her openly. Bhe had a few friends,
and they quietly counseled her to maintain
reserve. Many times when her blood wu up
and hot worda sprang to her tongue’s end she
restrained herself by remembering that her
triumphant silence wu more exasperating to
her tormentor! than any speech. But the ex-
6 lesion exmo at last. A southern stato oioo-
on occurred and the democrata car
ried it, of course. Tho next morning whan
•he took her placo the felt an unusually
studied purpose to annoy her. Every face
waa black, and tho voice* were blatant that
denounced the ballot- sox staffer!. Nothing
was too harsh or falsa to chugs to tba south
and very litUo too vile to intlnualo. Miss
Dearborn’s foes wu red and her lips scarlet
where aha had bit thorn. But aha kept her
puce until* hunk of a follow turned to her
and aald tauntingly:
"Why don’t you say aword for thoso nigger
murderers? They’re your friends, ain’t they?
You d stuff a ballot box If you got tho chance,
wouldn't you?"
"Yea, I would,” cried Mfo# Dearborn, with
fluh, "If I wag a southerner I'd stuff ov-
cry ballot box in my state to keep its govern
ment and property out of tha hand* ol tho
-vetoes.”
There wu a derisive triumphant sbont at

GOLDSMITH MAID MADS 2:141-2.
And Baras First Showed tils Ability to Keep
Ifp With Her.
From the Boflklo Courier.
The tiorj ol the hfppodromiog tonrolBenu
and - Goldsmith Maid has recently been made
public by John Splan. As the driver and bones
are well known to the horsemen of BnflUo, we
give tbe story In full: “Barns Joined Goldsmith
Maid inahippodromieg tour through California
In 1*77, their first exhibition being glrcn at Ban
Jose, where the Maid won in 2:22, 2:16#, 2:1S>*
By his race* with other horses In California Splan
hid discovered tbat Barns waa Improving in speed
all tbe time, and had little donbt of his ability to
beat Goldsmith Maid if the matter ever came to
test But the races between these horses through
Csllfornia were advertised aa exhibition*, and
waa understood that Barns would make no at
tempt to beat tbe Maid because be waa attU eligible
to tbe 2:21 clem, end It would be bad policy to
give him a faster record when there was nothing
but glory to be gained by it.
"From San Jose the hones went to Chico, where
they were to open a naw track. The people of
Chico were very proud of their enterprise, and had
offered some extra money In case 2:17 was beaten.
There were plenty of betting men In Chloo at that
time, and In addition to these hundreds of miners
came from all parts of the country to see Gol-
smith Maid trot, end all of them were willing to
bet their last dollar that 2:17 would not be beater
Andy Danles, who will be remembered as an ol
time driver an — ~ —*~
that time,and I
1 gone along with Splan to Chico,
o wm driving the Maid, having
Ban Francisco by sickness, but it
BuddDoble, who
been detained at Ban Francisco , „
wu arranged that he should come in time to drive
the mare.
"After the horses had been In Chloo for a day or
two Daniels said to Splan: These people want to
bet some money on your race.'
•What do they want to bet?' asked Splan,
That 2:17 won't be beaten fn the nee.'
start fn and never stop betting as long Mbit
money bold out. He went out among the betting
men. and the day before tbe race reported that ho
had bet f2,«00even tbat 2:17 would be beaten.'
'• The next morning Doble came down from
Ban Francisco, and we told him that we had plied
all oar money on time end considered him In with
mated that we had thrown our money away, but
he tcok one-third of the game, althour*' * —
You can have jnst two chances to win It for us, 1
jald 1 to him, 'and II you Jell just say good-bye to
me when tho word lor tho third heat Is given, and
: will show you a trotter.' So Budd cheered up a
lttlc, and said be would shove tbe old mare along
aa fast as possible. Well, we trotted the flrat heat,
but 2:19Kwaa tbe best the Maid conld do. When
the time wu hung out Budd looked soberer than
ever, and even Andy Daniels wore a subdued
aspect You see, they noth saw it was a case of life
and death, thinking that if Goldsmith Maid could
not trot a mile In 2:17 there wu no use In any
other horse trying.
"When they came up for the second heat the
Maid was going strong and fast, with Baras about
a length behind. 1 nodded for the word, the
judge* gave it, and away wo went Baras kept the
tame distance behind the maro that he wm at the
start and when wo began to go down the back-
stretchi aaw that it would bo «jnlte a heat The
lomestretchatChlcolaovera quarter of a mile
lone, and a we swnng into it the Maid gave a
wabble or two and wm evidently getting ready for
* break. When sho finally went Into the air I sent
the mare beating Baras out by a nose.

Mite Dearborn that her sorricoa wore no

t this was a women not to bo ereily put
away. Bho.had twonly days ' In which to act.
Bho first wrote lo tho appointment clerk do-
inanding a written summary of tha chargos
agaidst her. Than shs wrote to a number of
hot acquaintance*, who were editors, stating
her caso and asking their interference. Finally
she want to see Mr. Windom, thon secretary
ol tho treasury. Ha looked oror her record,
laughed at her speech, and waa inclined to
think tha service couldn’t spare such a spunky
lilUa woman, lie would probably have dis
missed tha rasa had not John Sherman inter-
lorcd. Sherman's horror ol "outrages” of any
democratic tort it historic, and tbs chief of
Mitt Dearborn’adivisionwu Sherman’s pro
tege and factotum. Sherman declared that
the woman must go. Windom was indifferent.
Sh* had no congressman to tpoak for her, and
If Bhannan made a point ol it, why ao ba it.
At thla crisis the editera cams to tho fore.
They wrote very sharply to tha secretary ol
tho treasury not to do this injustice. A num
ber ol correspondents here took up the caso as
a personal matter. Tho end or It was that
Sherman found tho press too
much for him and withdrew. Miss Dearborn
wu not dismissed, but transferred to another
department with aa bad a character u the ap-
E ointment dark dared to give her. Sho won

From tho HawklntvlUo Dispatch,
The first intke story ol the season comes to us
from Henderson, Houston connty. It wu a rare
between a fleet-footed dog and a black snake.
Tbo dog chued the snake three-quarters ol a mile
down a lane. "It Is a long lane that never turns,”
and the snake appeared In good spirits. Jnst at
the end ol tho lane thesnakamadoasudden turn,
and found its hole under tho bottom nil. The
snake went down tho hole head first, when tho
dog seised It by Its tall. Tha snake WM prepared
for tho emergency, and gave up Its outside cover
ing or skin, whim peeled off u easily u tha akin
of a routed potato. It It supposed thnt tbo tntko
suffered no Inconvenience from tho loHot lu out
side covering, M tha shedding season had arrived.

Mrs. 3. M. Dunson, of thla county, while
giving out a meal, tha other day, duaovsrad
a snake snugly colled In the flour barrel. Tbo
reptile waa promptly dispatched by her hus
band.
From the Americas, On, Recorder.
The snake season hu fairly opaued with a
K ilting outlook. Two boys or Mr, W. B.
r killed two rattlers on Barney Parker's
place Friday, one aporting thirteen and the
other nine rattles with tha traditional button.
In addition, Ed. Stallings states that ha wu
chued out of Muckalee swamp by a big moc
casin Saturday.
From tbs DenlclvUla, Ga., Monitor.
On Saturday lut, Mr. T. J. Patton killed a
monster snake, near Mr. I. F. White's mill,
meuurlug over six last in length. It wu
brought to town and there wu quite a contra
riety of opinion expressed a* to what species
it belonged. We think, however, It wu a
'rattlesnake's pitot,’though twice as large u
any on* we aver uw before.
From tha Early connty, Ga, News.
Mr. Bnrrel Roberts noticed, ono day lut
weak, in hit rambles, a very large king snake
that acted In a very peculiar manner. Ha
went nearer, and, upon examining tha snake,
found that it* head had been cut offaoma days,
aa tha around had healed entirely up. Hia
anakeship wu in good condition aud crawled
on offaa if nothing were the matter.
