aeeent reports irom tne scene oi rnriay s skirmish in Manitoba indicate that the
troops were so roughly handled as to cause
grave aonots of tne ability or raw volunteers to cope with the hardy sharpshooters of the frontier. Official dispatches from the Northwest begin to have the true Soudanese tone. Adklbal Jotjett and Commander McCaOa have informed the Navy Department that the American forces were withdrawn from Panama because of promises made by the rebel, Aizpura, that lie would not interfere with American interests in that city, and that he would nc-t erect barricades in the streets. The American troops were marched a short distance from the city to the Panama Railroad Company's property. A Panama dispatch of the 23th tut. says: The city is quiet. The moral effect of the occupation by the American forces has been very great Not a shot has been fired since. The peach crop of Delaware will be
unusually large unless some unexpected
disaster occurs. Ex-Gov. Cukhn, of Pennsylvania, who was at one time Minister to Buseia, expresses the opinion that war between that eountry and England is inevitable, because
it is necessary to the perpetuation of the
Bnssian dynasty. As to the effect of such
a war upon American interests Gov. Cnrtin
believes it would be beneficial. "If war should continue for some time," -jaid he, "and there is every reason to believe it will be a protracted one. it will create a demand
tor many of our products. "Get. Gbakt apparently continues to improve," says a New York dispatch of the 30th insfc "The ulcerated portions of the throat, from which tissue has been sloughed off, have materially improved. The cancerous trouble ntthe base of the tongue is simply quiescent' Meantime the general system is improved. The General has so far improved physically that his mind is be. coming engaged with tho blocking out of work upon his book. He remarked last evening that w felt better, "and was bright and cheerful ihronghout the day. spending some time in looking over the unfinished manuscript of hi book." Thade and labor notes: The windowglass trade is reported as unusually dull, with several factories closed, aud, unless business improves, several others will suspend operations. Militia are on duty at
tne coal mines iienr outmor, iu. , to protect persons wishing to work from the violence of the strikers. A Chicago dispatch says: "The First Illinois Regiment has been ordered to Joliet. A conflict with the strikers is feared. Tho Governor has decided that the property of the quarry owners and the men who desire to work must be protected at all hazards." The Pennsylvania manufacturers baring claimed that, because of low wages, Eastern men could manufacture iron for $10 or $12 less than it could be turned out in Pennsylvania, by what are alleged to be authoritative figures, a comroiltee of the Amalgamated Association showed tye manufacturers nt Pi'.tsburKh that there was in reality a difference of 88.79 per ton in favor of the Western mills.

Tho British Government claims to have information that ::ismrok has beon urging Turkey to Ride vi h Bussia in the event of war. The 'louse of Commons, without d scussion, .s snr-gested by Mr. Gladstone, voted tho redit of $55,000, u(H) asked by the Governueut A Pabis dispatch says tho osj7ior. "gyplien affair has been settled through :hc intermediary otHces of England npou ho following basis: Egypt apologizes to I. Fallaudier, the French ChaigiuVASuires; he office of tho Bophorr-Egnp1ien will be reopened and Uio journal allowed to reappear forthwith, and France nbnnlons her demand for the recall of the officials who forcibly entered the Bospkorefyyptien office, in view of apology. . , .The Xational Zeitung, of ISerlin, says thai Germany remains nentml in tho present crisis in'tho relations of England and Russia, nnd that no request has been received for mediation. Wab between Bussia and England seems inevitable. A St Petersburg dispatch of the 30th ult fays "the Czar has sent an ultimatum to Groat Britain demanding that tho latter shidt accept Russia's proposed boundary line betweei Turkestan and Afghanistan. If Great Britain refuses to accept this boundary, Bussia nil proceed to occupy Herat" A London dispatch says" that "in the House of Commons Lord Edmund Fitzinaurice, Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs, rond a telegram from Sir Peter Lumsden, that :be Bnssian troops had advanced upon Meru(liak. The Bnssian advance south of Penjdeli and the occupation of Meruchrk are regarded in parliamentary circles as dispel;ing the last hope of pence and as a precursor of a Bussiau advance upon Herat Several of the large steamship ooniEanies engaged in tho coal-carrying trade ave effected insurance at war rates upon both vessels and cargoes for periods of three and six months."
ADDITIONAL HEWS. During April Postmaster General Vilas appointed 800 postmasters at fourthclass offices. A majority of the appointments were made to fill vacancies. The public debt decrease during the month of April was S1,302,VS3. The trouble with the unpaid Baltimore & Onio Bailioad laborers at Chase's Station, Maryland, has been ended, the men having; received assuranoes from tho company that they would get their money. The London Standard says we are ab e to state upon unquestionable authorliy that the English proposal to Bussia is for a submittal to arbitration tooneot the crowned heads of Europe of the simple question: Whether or no the convention of March 17 was broken by Bussia. This proposal is now under consideration by the Russian government, which has decided to convoko a meeting; of tb? committee of ministers at Gatchlng to consider the question. A St Petersburg special says: The Official MfMsnger publishes the following telegram from tion. Komarofldos patched from Askabador: "A telegram forbidding the occupation of PenjTleh roachoJ me on March 23. I only communicated it to the commanders of the outoits and did not make it generally known. General Zaorzepeski, with my permission, was Interviewed by correspondence wita some British officers, in a private ca, aoity. I did not admit their right to treat official-. I addressed my demands direct to the commander of the Afghan forces. Gen. Alikhanoff, with a sotnla of Turjom ms rode in tho drrei.on of Morkals, alcng tho river bank, on the Russian side. It was by m moans my intention to advance on Penjdah. To march a sotnla In the rear of 4,000 Afghans was Inconceivable. The Russians marched on the heights on tho right bank of the Murghab rive , but did not reach our vidottos on the left bank of the same ilrer. When the Afghans approached, however, this one oampany by my order returned to camp." The Commissioner of Pensions has rendered a decision subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior on the pension application of Mrs. Emmau DaLonj, widow of the .'ate Lieutenant Commander ot the "Jeannette." The Commissioner holds that the widow is entitled to a pension. At a meeting of the Eastern Nail Association the card price of 82.30 perk -gwas affirmed. Owing to the backwardness of spring and to prevent a surplus ot nails, the mills all agree to stop operations at least a week between May 1st and July 1st The statement prepared at the Pension Office shows that 6,470 "original" pension certificates have been iBsueddunng the month of April, 1885, against 3,734 during the same month last year, and that the total number of pension certificates Issued was 8,19, being 1, 808 in excess of the number for April, 1884. The Louisville express, on the Louisville, New Albany 3c Chicago Railroad was stopped near Harrodsburg, Indiana, by a band of masked robber. 'J ho latter were on horseback and compelled the engineer and fireman to leave their engine. Then entering the express car, the American express messenger was covered with a revolver and refusing to unlock the safe was shot dead. The safe was broken open, but contained only $400. The scene of the robbery is among bills and stone quarries and is In a thinly settle l part of the country. A San Francisco special says : General Irwin McDowell has been muttering for some time past from an affection of th principal digestive organs, which prevents him from retaining aiythlng on the stomach. His phj slcians bave given up all hopes of his recovery. His death is expected any time Ho is delirious most of the lima Upon taking possession of its new hall the managers of the Chicago Uoar I ef Trade declined to a'low the Wester .1 Union to put in its H ires. As arosult there i; no ticker service at all and the brokers offlo a in that city, bucket shops and open Boards of Trade alike have no quotations. Tho telegraph company appears to have been taken completely by surprise, as tho tickers had been placed in all tno new offlcs and the warn ins only came after business had fairly been entered upon. The Chicago Board of Trade has dedicated Its now building, which was erected at an expenditure of 2,000,000.

Gen. V. 8. Grant was sixty-three years old on Monday, the 27th of April, nnd the anniversary of his birth was celebrated in many cities ' and informally observed throughout the oountry. Flags were displayed, and cannon boomed as when tho people celebrated his great victories during

BURIED ALIVE.
Frightful Besult of a Snow-SlWe In Colorado. Denver special. A telefiram from Tennessee Pass says news reached there nt midnight of a snowslide near that place ir which eleven miners are supposed to have perished. The men had been working iu the Homestake Mine, and, nothing having been heard of them, for a fortnight, Frank Sanderson started out to ascertain if any harm had come to them. On arriving at the flat, where two cabins had stood, in which the men lived, Sanderson found everything buried by a deep snow-slide, that evidently came down in the dead of night Not a tiga of life was to be seen in any direction. A special train from Leadville carried a re ief party. Arriving at the poiut nearest the mine tie party was met by a crowd of excited miners, who informed them that it was useless to attempt to reach the mine through Ihe wilderness of soft snow, even with snowshoes, nt that time of day. The next day the searching party begin work, and found ten bodies in the cabin. They had been crushed to death by the snowslide. The victims are Martin Borden and brother Sylvester, of Nova Scotia; Horace W. Matthews and brother Jesse, of Iowa; John Look and John Burns, of England; Charles Biohards, of Nova Scotia; Chris Harvey, of Leadville; Bobert Campbell ol Bed Cliff, and John Burns, of San Fran, cisoo. Homestake mountain is the highest in that part of the State. The side of the mountain on which the mine is located is very precipitous. The great avalanche must have literally fallen upon the cabin ot the unsuspecting miners, crushing it to atoms.

IHST0UT OF ROLLER-SKATING.
The Present Is tlio Third Craze of the Kind iu This. Country Costly Litigation. Holler skating is by no means a moddern amusement. A patent for a roller skate was issued in franco in 1819. From that time to the year 18(ifl there wero nine patents issued for roller skates. Three of these were French, three English, and three American. In all of them tho wheels wero set in fixed sockets, nnd ran only in a direction, parallel with the length of the skate. There was scttno variation in the size of the wheels, .nd their number varied from two to five. There was an attempt to adapt thorn to the capabilities of ice skates by varying the position and size of the wheolB, but it was not until 1863 that any success was secured in making roller skates with vchioh the skater could make all the motions that can be performed 1 n ice skates. In the year 18G3, Jamoa L. Plimpton, of New York, patented the guidable roller skates. This was a radical improvement in attaching the runners or rollers to the stock or foot stand of the skate, whereby the rollers or runners are made to turn or cant by tho rocking of the stock or foot island ho as to facilitate the turning of the skate on tho ice or floor, and admit of the skater's performing with ease gyrations or revolutions without testing unduly the muscles of tho foot or ankles. Mr. Plimpton made improvements on his own invention, which were patented in 1865 and 1866, and since that time there have been no less than 345 patents for various modifications of roller skate t, chiely in England and America. But the practical roller skate of to-day is substantially an Americnn invention. There are thousands of persons ' engaged in their manufacture, and they have leen introduced about all over the globe. The present 101 lor skating craze is by no means the first. It is, in fact, the third. There was a very extensive roller skating craze in this country in 1872, when there were many skating rinks and many thousand skaters in various parts of the country, and in 301110 places almost as much excitement over it as there is now. Eoller skating halls were established in this city by
Mr. Plimpton as long ago as 186t. Thoy were attended by staid and orderly people, including ministers, deacons, and church members, and on one occasion the good folks astonished their friends, and, in fact, themselves, by skating a waltz figure during lent, They did not awake to the enormity of the offense until some of the newspapers began to write them up. Roller skating was extensively introduced in schools and continued in private social circles for many years without any attempt to make the skating halls the resort of promiscuous assemblages. In lb66 roller-skating was started at Newport, in the Atlantic House, and for several years was patronized by the best society. The large dining-room of the Atlantic was used for skating, and clergymen, lawyers, doctors, and the most exemplary citizens joined in the sport. In 1876 a considerable number of leading members of New York society were interested in roller-skating. The Union Club members were prominent in it. Among the se who participated were James U. Dennett, M. Douglas, A. Wright Sanford, Mr. Howland, Mrs. John Jay, M. M. Livingston, and others squally well known. They first engaged Lyric Hall, and subsequently Irving Hall, and the attendance was very select. The public was not admitted. The first absolutely pubHc rollerskating rink in this country was established at Cincinnati in 1867, and the amusement took a firm hold there. They had a newspaper devoted to the interests of roller-skating, published in Cincinnati in 1877, called the Skate Roll. At tint time the rinks were rigidly conducted, so as to interest the most conservative and orderly persons. Tho rules and regulations of tho floor, also, were such as would obviate many of the objections to the modern skating rinks. Mr. Plimpton had his skates patented in England, and about ten years ago there was a roller-skating craze in that country similar to that which prevails here now, with the exception that it was started with the deliberate purpose of interesting the most conservative and orderly people, and to make it a reputable amusement. There were at one time about 400 places for rollerskating in England. Mr. Plimpton invested considerable capital in the enterprise, and as soon as he became successful found himself confronted with with an army of infringers. He fought about two dozen of these infringers in the law courts and won all his suits. Roller-skating in England was conducted at first under very high social auspices. There was one club known as the Prince Club, which consisted entirely of titled personages and their children. The suits to restrain the infringers of ti:e American patents attracted widespread attention, aud the trials were attended by great crowds. The American patentee was denounced as a monopolist. His law expenses wero enormous. Fabulous stories were told of his profits, and he undoubtedly made a great deal of money from hio invention. He foresaw the objections that might be raised, nnd anticipated tho strongest arguments now brought to bear against the skating rinks. The rinks that he established were regulated by stringent contracts, bo as to forestall and prevent those objections. Th s he did from the conviction that, as a matter of enlightened self-interest, it would be most profiiable to make roller-skating respecttb'.e. Mr. Plimpton has had considerable litigation in this country to protect his invention. His patents expired in June, 1883. He has not. however, lost his in
terest in roller-skating', but deprecates the surroundings that havo now been connected with it. New i'ork Sun. "John." No monosyllabic name has been so prolific in its derivatives as John. As a family name it is sometimes found as a plain' John, thou as St John, nnd then its first changes is into Johns, then comes Jones, Johnson, Johncock, Jokins. Jenkens, Jennings, Jenkinson, Jenks, Jinks and Jinkinson. By additions we have Littlejohn, Brownjohn, and Properjohn. No argument is needed to prove tho popularity of Jack. As a. nickname it is fixed beyond all fear of abolition, and from a nuknamo it passed by easy stages to a reputable place -among the family names. Jack is not very common, but Jacks is more frequent, "and Jackson no longer excites remark. We havo little idea how wonderlully popular the name Jack usod to be. ' "Kvoryl ody was Jack until he was found to be some one else, so that 'every man Jack of them' was a common term for a crowd and its integral parts for ages. Every servant whose name or office happened to be unknown went by the name of Jack, and thus an idea of utility was attached to the character of Jack, which, when articles of household use were one after another invented, came into play in giving them names also, ami thus we have boot-jacks aud blaok-jacks and smoke-jacks and jack-towels, together with Jacks for this, that, and other purpose until the name lieeame so common as to be in convenient. Then came tin idea that J&ok must be' a cunning sort of fellow, and so the appellation gradually applied itself to the smarter of the animal kingdom, and thus came the jackdaw, Ihe jaok-nn-apes, and the jackpike. But as familiarity is a potent breeder of contempt, the very commonness of the name drew it into d srepute as haying eoiaething stupid about
it, end we thus gained jack-fool, or jack-pudding, for a buffoon, and jackass for a dolt." This is a sad fall for the name of the beloved disciple, but to such uses will a name sometimes coma It is curious to know that the name John became common in the western part of Europe only after the crusades, when the pilgrims of the Holy Land always carried as a part of their outfit a bottle tlenigned to hold the water from the River Jordan, brought home for baptismal purposes. The great forerunner of Christ came into public notice among the pilgrims, and it was probably more on his account than on that of the beloved disciple that the name assumed such a place in thu popular regard. SI. Louis Globe Democrat. The Razorback Pig. Flamaton has two hotels, six houses, and about seven hundred razorback pigs. I will not attempt to give the exact population of the pig family. I approximate ; that's all. These pigs are weary of life. They court death every day in a thousand differedt ways. When the engine or a train starts up anywhere in the yard a score of these pigs will dash recklessly up to and under the wheels. Sometimes they get run over, but they never find it out They are ferocious-looking beasts. The biggest part of tlw Flamaton pig is that which runs from his high intellectual brow out to the tip of his nose. If he would utand on ha hind legs he would be very tall. As for thickness he has none. You could seal one up in an envelope and in stamping it the post
master would never discover that it contained anything thicker than a sheet of brown paper. I thought of mailing
you one for an ornament, but 1 learn
that bris-a-brac is no longer fashiona

'J. wo thousand years from now some lover of curiosities will halt in passing
through a museum in front of a queer-
looking piece of antiquity and ask of
his guide : "I that a model of a flying
ship, cr the side view of a new tangled
pen-knife, with corkscrew attachment?" The answer will be: "Neither, my son ; tstat is the last remains of a razor-
back pig that flourished iu the nine
teen! ti centnrv in the sorlthern Dart of
what was then known as the United States of Auiei'iea, a place where peo
ple hnd a firm belief that they were free
and felt so secure that they allowed alien and native land thieves to gobble up tho best lands in the country, aud this pig was llorced to grow up and
exist in a place where an acre of ground
was not rich enough to raise anything
except just such a pig, and was so hard that vou could not drive a railroad spike through its top orust with a steam hammer. Thin pig is still alive, and he still imagine ( that he lives at Flamaton. We have to watch him closely, for every time he hears a bell ring or a whistle tool he makes a break for the train with the intention of mixing himself up with the wheels, He's bent on suicide still."

How tho Mercury Is Put In a Thermometer. Every thermometer has its own liar, and the liar who has the last chance always has tho best instrument. The thermometer that will rise the highest in summer and fall the lowest in winter is a ''joy forever." An absolutely accurate instrument is a rarity. The accuracy of this instrument depends entirely on the care given in its manufacture. The first step in making of a thermometer is to draw the lube ont of a mass oi soft glass into which a bub ble of air has been introduced ; then lie bulb is blown by a skilled workman, who from long practice is able to blow it almost the exact size. The next step is the filling of the bulb, which is done by gently heating the tube and causing the air to expand; the end is then dipped in mercury, a small port'on of which is drawn into the bulb. This mttroury ts then carefully boiled, and as soon as it expands, filling the tube and bnl'b with vapor, the end of the tube is again introduced into the mercury, which again fills both bulb and tuba The instrument is then heated to the highest po'nt intended for it ta register and the excess of mercury flows oat, after which the end of the' tube is closed. After this the freezing and boiling points of water (thirty-two degrees and 312 degrees) are marked and the intermediate gradations ptn; in, when the thermometer is ready for use. The evenness of the bore and the .size of the bulb determine the accuracy of the instrument.. The Millstone.

Art Appreciation. It seems not unnatural that a Boston correspondent should make a Chicago man the hero of this incident in what is called real life : A prominent merchant of one of our Western cities, who counts bis dollars with seven figures, but who, in the ardent pursuit of wealth, has neglected such f rivolit ies as literature and art, was recently visiting Boston with his family, and seeing the sights of "the Hub." In the courts of his wanderings he entered the M nseum of Fine Arts, and after gazing superciliously around at the contents thereof, his attuntion finally rested upon some fine paintings by Gnstave Dora, which were at the time the pride of tho city. These seemed to interest him, for, turning to hia guide, he said, "G. Dor? Q. Hotel are these by G. DoreV" On roceiv ng an affirmative response, he continued, "It seems to me that he has improved greatly of late, hasn't he?" The guide, remembering that the artist had boon dead some time, struggled a while with the desire to he truthful, but delighted that the great man had at last found something to interest him, finally doubtfully answered that rierhim; h& had.
Then the Westerner called his son toi.-
him : "Jolr.i, see these piotnres by G. Dore. Yes, it certainly seems to me he has improved very much. G. Dore? G. Dore ? Why, he painted our house in Chicago " Editor's Drawer, in Harper's Magazine.
Ten Thoimmit Dollars ior a Drink. "You may not believe it, but I once paid $10,000 for a drink of whisky," said a corporal on duty at the arsenal in the mess room the other day. The talk had turned to war prices and some pretty steep figures were mentioned. No one believed the corporal and all laughed, l ut the corporal braced np and sold : "When I left Petersburg in 1865 I had $20,000 in Confederate scrip. It was aa cold as blazes and a feller got warm thinking of whisky. I was hard up for adri ak, and as I had been reading a paper on the delicious liquor, my mind wandered to it. Before I had gone far I mot a traveling whisky saloon on wheels. Yes, a sutler, you know. That's what, we called them. I hadn't a cent except the scrip, but I just went up and says-: " 'Suiler, have you any good whisky?' 'That 1 have." savs he. 'Well, if you will give mi a good drink,' says I, Til give you f iO.OtiO. Woll, yon should have Been him smile. He knew it was a gag, but just to seo the ' thing out he filled mo a jup full of tanglefoot, which 1 drank with a relish, you bet. Then 1 gave him $10,000. I offered him the 01 her 510,000, but he had been thar,"' Washington MtyruMican.
