Editors Union-Rkcor»er: The Attorney General, having had his turn paying Mr. Harrison a visit at Deer Park, and having given a ru mor of his appointment to the Su preme (Jourt a fresh start has return ed, and Secretary Windorn has gone up to talk, business to the President. He will remuin several days as his family are spending the summer there. The harmony among the Virginia republicans does not soeui to be so complete as it did.. Several of the Anti-Mahono people have been here “kicking” as liard as ever intimating that it will be necessary to give them something nice in the shape of an of fice in order to make them as liarmo. nious as Mr. Brady, who got a $4,500 position. It is also said that Langs ton, the negro who is now a contes tant for a seat in Congress from the Fourth District (“black belt”) threat ens to make trouble unless he is well taken care of. On the whole the dem ocrats do not think there will be much trouble in their carrying the State as usual. This is o free country, and yet every now and then the law steps in, in some shape or other as to give for eigners a somewhat queer idea of free dom. One of those cases have just been brought to light by a decision of the Treasury department that a book keeper brought from England by-an English firm with a branch house in New York City must be sent back to England, as his being brought over here under contract was a vio lation of the alien labor law. It was Gen. Grant, I believe, who said that the quickest way to get ap obnoxious law repealed was to strictly enforce it. W. O. Elam, who was editor of th© Richmond, Virginia, Whig, as long as General Mahone put up the money to keep that paper going, has been appointed Chief of a division in the Interior department. A committee from St. Joseph, Mis souri, brought Secretary Rusk a gor geous invitation to attend the “New Era Exposition” to be held In that city duiiug a portion of September and October. As the Exposition is to be held in honor of the establishment of the department of Agriculture, the Secretary told the committee he would attend if possible. All sorts of rumors are current in Regard to the startling discoveries be ing made by the Commission now in vestigating the rerating of pensions by the Pension office. The most of these rumors are undoubtedly based ou the frightened talk of the impli cated employes of the Pension office, for the members of the Commission are not likely to do any tulking until their official report has been handed in to Secretary Noble. It is general ly believed that there has been a good deal of crookedness in this bus iness and that quite a large number of the employes of the office have been engaged it, but whether they can be punished further than to be made to disgorge the money illegally obtained is a question. The report of the Com mission is anxiously looked for here. aud is now being juggled with by the appointing powers. He wants the law repealed but pending that he would like to see it strictly enforced. Tbe administration is having a live ly time with the patronage In tbe South. Every appointment made raises a lot of “kickers.” The fight for the oontrol of tbe patronage in Louisiana is red hot between Repre sentative elect Coleman and Herwig, the Louisiana lottery man. It is to be settled at the convention which is to nominate a candidate for Congress to run in the district of tho late Rep resentative Gay. Herwig and Cole man both have been candidates and the winner is to be regarded by the administration as the party boss in the State. Tlie papers have been signed award ing the contract for the construction of a coast defence vessel, to cost $700,000 to the Union Iron works of San Francisco. CATTLE KATE. Th* Amason Cowboy Lynohod by Indignant Ranchmen. Chktbnnk, W. T., July 23rd.—James Av- eriil end the notorious cattle queen, Kate Maxwell, were lynched by cowboy■ Sun day night. The bodies of the rustler and range queen dangled from the same limb of a big oottonwood this morning The scene of tbe lawless but justifiable deed of the midnight riders is on tho Sweetwater, in Carbon county. Averlll was postmaster at Sweetwater, Kate Maxwell was tlie heroine of a sensational story which ap pea red in tho newspapers throughout the Country three months ago, Then slio raid ed a gumbling house and recovered i large sum of money won from tier cm aloyes. Stock men of tho Sweetwater re gion have been the victims of cattle thieves for years. On account ol prejudice agalnstthe large outfits it has been im possible to convict on this churge, and ttio rustlers have become bold. Averlll and his remarkable partner have boen re markably successful In thieving. Tlie woman could hold her own on the range, riding like a demon, shooting on the slightest pretext, and handling the lariat and branding Iron with the skill of the most expert vaquero, Fifty freshly branded yearling steers were counted in tbe Averlll and Maxwell herds Saturday morning, A stock detective whose suspicion wao aroused was driven >1* from the place wheu he wus noticed view ing the stolen property. This clrcum stance was reported’to tlie ranchmen, who determined to rid the country of tho des perate pair. Word was passed along the river, and fifteen or twenty men gattiered at a deserted place and galloped toward the cabin of Averill and Cattle Kate with out unnecessary noise. The thieves and boy In their employ were sitting beside rude liroplaee’smokln g cigarettes. A half dozen men ruBhed into tho room and the trio sprang for their wenpons, but were quickly overpowered. Averill begged aud whined, protesting his innocence, Kate cursed. Her execrations of the lynchers was something terrible In its way. She called for her own horse to ride to a tree selected for a scaffold, and vaulted astride the animals back from tlie ground. Aver- 111 did not resist,, and tho boy who had been told that he would not be harmed followed: Either end of tho rope was fastened about the necks of the rus tiers as they sat in their saddloe: Tho boy made a pass witli a knife at the man who was preparing Kate for hanging. He was knocked insensible by a blow from the butt of a revolver. The lad was a nephew of the bandit queen. When prep- eratlons had been completed, Averlll spoke of fils office, saying Unit he didn’t wish a certain man to be tils suocessor. Kate made quito an address. She wishod the affair kept as quiet as possible, dealr ing that her mother be kept In Ignorance of her disgraceful career and tragic death. It was useless to deny that their herd had been stolen from tho ranchmen of that section, but If they did not wish to divide It among themselves she would like to have it sold and tho money given to a ■ The 8i*ters’ Sad Story.

Tlie Manufacturers’ Record lias Thkir Fathkk was Onck Treasur er ok the United States—the Misfortunes of Their Lives. From the Washington Post. Tho sad cases of the Misses Selden, who were taken from their home at 188!$ Eleventh street, to 8t. Eliza beth's insane Asylum on Friday, has awakened universal sympathy in the community, both among the general public and by those who knew them and their family connections. They belonged to one of tho oldest families in the district, and in the days when the best society was ruled by the na tive families theirs oocupied a leading position. Virginia, tlie eldest of tho ladies, had always been recognized as a re markable woman. Strong of will, she was proud, haughty and reserved. Her face was almost Madonna-iike in its contour and placidity of expres sion, her hair was of the richest brown, jind a pair of beautiful eyes of tho same color, caused a nervous twitch in the heart of many a gallant in the days of the long ago, when, as tlie daughter of the treasurer of the United States, and by virtues of her own benuty and accomplishments, she was a popular bell* in capital soelety. The second daughter. Lillie was looked upon as the particularly clev er girl of a very clever family. She was of a literary turn of mind, and was better read than the vast major ities of young ladies. She possessed an interesting face, and while not as handsome as her sisters, had a power of conversation nnd a charm of man ner which endeared her to all. The youngest, Florence, who is now about 28 years old, is a beautiful wo man, possessing that rare combination of brown eyes and golden hair. So much did she resemble the well-known picture of the turbaned Beatric di Cenoi that a relative once presented her with a portrait of the latter set in brilliants. All three have refused many offers of marriage, and in recent years have led a life of seclusion, shunning tho best society, in which they previous ly moved. Their father, William Sel den was treasurer of the United States for forty years, and the seclud ed life of the daughters began with his death, their mother having died just previously. Their father died with a cancer of the eye, and during his long and terrible illness his three daughters were the most devoted of nurses. When the grave had closed over him Miss Virginia became morose to such an extent that it developed into melancholia, and her depression of spirits .was communicated to hor younger ' sisters, especially to Miss Lillie. Virginia had a strong sense of the proprieties and an incident occurred some years ago which wounded her E roud naturo and caused her to shut erself up still more closely from the world. Her half bi other, William, married a Miss Shriner, and the mar riage was kept j secret for several months. That her half brother’s wife should have been using a card with “Miss” engraved on it while she was a married woman so shocked Virginia that a total estrangement resulted between her and her half brother aud his wife. Recently another brother, who was looked upon as a somewhat wild young man, took a position as a marker in a billiard room', or in some such capacity. This tlie ladies look ed upon as a disgrace to their name and family, and it has preyed on their minds ever since. About two years ago the sisters op posed the marriage of another broth er. The marriage did not take place anil an estrangement followed, but whether it has since continued is not known, for neither friends nor rela tives have as a rule been able to get into the house, and nothing at all has boen known of them by their connec tions. The house in which they lived is a handsome four-story one, elegantly furnished, but the front blinds, with one exception, were always closed, and tlie building had a funeral as pect. This girl is perhaps the most fa mous of her age in the United States. Many people would like to know how she looks. To accommodate all such we copy from the Augusta Chronicle, as follows: Mrs. Dawson widow of the late la mented Capt. F. W. Dawson, and Marie Burdayrou, the now famous “Swiss maid,” passed through Colum bia from Charleston Wednesday morn ing en route to Flat Rock, N. C. On© of the trainmen told some one at th© depot that, tlie two ladies were on th© train, and in a few minutes every on© in and about tlie station knew of it. They stopped here about fifteen minutes, and during that time there was a constant stream of people pass ing through the ear to get a glimpse of the now celebrated “maid/’ The water cooler in tho car was emptied in a few minutes hy tho crowd, who, all of a sudden, became very thirsty, wanting to get a glass of ice water being their real purpose. One extraordinary thirsty young^ gentleman, who is connected with a well known cotton house, said he drank at least a gallon of water while looking at the little maid, but he didn’t mind a small matter like that. The maid’s good looks liava not been exaggerated. She is rather petite, short and inclined to be stout, but withal a beautiful little figure. She Is a decided brunette—black or dark brown hair and dark complex ion. She wore a navy blue lawn, dress, with a very large white collar, almost reaching her shoulders, and had on a neat little straw hat, worn in a somewhat careless manner on. the back of her head, her whole ap pearance being jaunty and attrac tive. Health in Summer. Physicians don’t ngree concerni ./: tlie best way to keep well during (!; summer months. Some recommend one set of rules, and others recom mend another. Dr. William A. Ham niond says ice water should be avoid ed altogether, and other physician© Bay that tho use of water In- small quantities and short intervals is bene ficial. One says that the eating of light meals is essential to health at this season, and another says that a person may safely eat about as much as lie pleases. The view of Dr. John Morris, of Bal timore, upon this subject seems to be* sensible and well .considered. He- says that to retain good health in. summer, one, should get as much fresh air as possible, gua/d against excess in eating, exercise in moderation and keep cool. He tiiinks that fruits- sliould form a considerable part of one’s diet, but that grqat care should betaken that the fruit is sound and ripe, as probably more sickness during summer is caused by unsound and unripe fruit than by anything else. Pure milk is also recommended, and rice is claimed to be the best summer food, as it is cooling, and tends to keep the stomach in good condition ,. Tlie summer bill of fare that he sug gests is a small quantity of meat and rice, fruits, vegetables and milk. What lie says about tho care of younij: children in summer seems to be of es- pethal value. He tiiinks they should, be bathed and rubbed' systematical ly—in cold water in the morning, and at night in water that has been warm ed in the sun. Of course, their food, should bo absolutely pure. If they are given milk, it should be kept at a temperature of from 70 to 80 degrees. They should be in the open air as much as possible, but In shady places _ Rpfprt^r 11 ' Coun,i - pno if. 1 to Faculty of Lumpkin Law School, Ath- (vlrnL °L ,lce ahow l*. M.

Commissioner Tanner now denies that he ever said he was opposed to the policy of paying $2, $2, and $4 per month pensions, and has order ed a big pension firm of New York and Chicago to stop sending out a circular which quotes a newspaper interview wherein the Commissioner is made to express those sentiments. Tlie same thing was published hero when Mr. Tanner first took office. The Civil Service law is getting some very hard knocks around Wash ington just now.
