WASHINGTON.

James Gilfillan, who has for several years occupied the position of Treasurer of the United States, has resigned that office and will go into the banking businessinNew York. The following appointments were made by the President just before the adjournment of Congress: Russell Errett, Pension Agent at Pittsburgh. John Bissell, Register of Land Office at Kerwin, Kaa S.

Two important decisions have just been rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States. One related to what is known as the “Riddleberger bill,” which forbade the Virginia tax collectors to receive in payment of taxes any coupons of State bonds of 1871 and 1879 until the genuineness of such bonds shall ie established by judicial decisions. In this case the Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Virginia Court of Appeals and declared the law to be unconstitutional In the other case it was decided that under the Federal constitution one State has not the right to sue another State by any method of indirection. This disposes effectually of the attempt recently made by the Legislatures of New Hampshire and New York to authorize creditors of a State to bring suit against it in the name of their own State. Justices Field and Harlan dissented from the last decision, the case under review being one where a citizen of New Hampshire burdened with some repudiated Louisiana bonds brought suit in the name of his State against the Louisiana State Government Congressman Belford, of Colorado, was called to the witness-stand in the trial of the star-route cases, and testified relative to his efforts at the Postoffice Department to secure the expedition of certain mail routes. In the course of his examination some questions were asked which Mr. Belford construed as an Imputation upon his honor, and after leaving the witness-stand he asked the privilege of making a statement to the court Judge Wylie curtly refused him the permission requested, when Mr. Belford denounced the action of the court He was called to the bar of the court, where he repeated his remarks with emphasis, and the Judge fined him *IOO for contempt of court After some hot words between counsel the fine was paid and the trial proceeded. It now appears that Charles H. Read did not succeed in getting his *B,OOO appropriation for defending Gulteau, the item having been stricken out by the conference committee at the last moment The new Tariff law will devolve upon the treasury a vast amount of work, and it is doubtful, says a Washington dispatch, whether there will be force enough in some of the bureaus to perform the new duties Judge David Davis was the recipient of a solid silver service from the employes of the United States Senate. The opinion prevails at the Treasury Department in Washington that the law removing the tax from bank deposits, etc., is retroactive, relieving banks from taxes that have accrued since the Ist of January.

POLITICAL.

A special election will be held in Georgia April 24, to fill the unexpired term as Governor of the late Alexander H. Stephens. The Tennessee House of Representatives has passed the Democratic caucus State Debt bill, and its passage by the Senate is deemed certain.

Champlin, of Grand Rapids, was named for Judge of the Supreme Court, long term, and Arthur L. Clark, of Sanilac county, for Regent of the University. The resolutions censure the Republican members of the Legislature for the prolonged and expensive Senatorial contest, and declare that any Judge who accepts a railroad pass should be Impeached and removed from office.

Sherwood, of Kalamazoo, for Justice of the Supreme Court, and Charles J. Willett of Gratiot for Second Regent of the State University.

LATER NEWS ITEMS.

A correspondent who recently passed down the Mississippi river from Memphis telegraphed as follows to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: “There are not more than two or three spots of dry ground between Memphis and this point, and scores of the best farms in Arkansas and Mississippi are in a complete state of wreck. Most of them have been abandoned, the owners and laborers having fled to higher ground. At Harbul’s landing eighteen colored men and women in two boats are moored to a tree on the flooded bank, waiting for a steamboat to take them away. There is not a foot of dry land in forty miles. Skiff-loads of colored people, with their household goods, are seen at various points, seeking for ground to rest on. At Sterling the colored people, horses and cattle are indiscriminately huddled in the upper story of the only store there. Most of the fences and houses along the river bank are still intact, though many of them have floated away. At Star landing the dwellings are full of cattle, and the gin houses full of negroes. The water in St Francis river is still flowing . down from the sunk lands and slowly rising at all points. The river is covered with saw-logs. The suffering is intense, and many people are believed to be dying for want of food.” Later advices report the water declining at Helena, but rising below, causing breaks in the levees.

Opium Smoking.

bis low, miuioal wsy. “i sometimes smokee till Ino can sleepee. Then I walkee about, and then I smokee again* His grave, still manner suggests that he lives somewhere nearly midway between the world of reality’ and the land of dreams. Even while he is speaking, he retires io a small dark room at the back of his shop, and sinks down with legs crossed, on a low bed. The appliances for opium-smoking are already there, just as he has left them some time before. They consist of a wooden tray, a lamp, a small receptacle for opium, a piece of strong wire, and a pipe. The latter is a cumbrous implement, somewhat resembling a flute, with a cupshaped piece of wood fitted into the mouthpiece. The lamp is diminutive, and is covered by a sort of inverted glass tumbler with a small round hole at the base. Resting his head upon a K‘” >w, Shy Lee draws the tray towards and begins to prepare his pipe. The process is long and tedious, but apparently productive of a deep and solemn delight. Shy Lee proceeds slowly, carefully, and with a solemn smile. A little of the opium is taken up on the end of the piece of wire and held over the lamp, where it half burns and half boils, as if it were resin. Then a little more of the opium is taken up and similarity treated. When it is burned sufficiently, he rolls about on the bowl of his pipe, still attached to the wire, until it has been converted into a small cone. This he inserts into a perforation in the wooden cup already mentioned, withdraws the wire, and flattens the opium with his finger He is now ready to smoke, and holding the bowl of his pipe over the light of the lamp, he sucks at the mouthpiece with a vigor unknown to ,ordinary smokers, at the same time expelling the smoke through his nostrils. Twenty seconds or so, and he again goes through the same labor of preparation, with the same smile of enjoyment. As he consumes one little cone of opium after another a film comes over his eyes, and he stares with set features; but he is still sufficiently conscious to be aware that some courtesy is demanded of him, and so he dreamily prepares another pipe and hands it to his guest.— New York Herald.

Bad Meat.

Mr. John Gambee expresses his belief that as much as one-fifth part of the common meat of the country—beef, veal, mutton, lamb and pork—comes from animals which are considerably diseased. His investigations go to show that horned cattle affected with pleuro-pneu-monia are,much oftener than not, slaughtered on account of the disease, and when slaughtered are commonly eaten, even though the lung-disease has made such progress as notably to taint the carcass; that animals affected with foot-and-mouth disease are not often slaughtered on account of it, but, if slaughtered, are uniformly eaten; that the presence of parasites in the flesh of an animal never influences the owner against selling it for food; that carcasses too obviously ill-conditioned for exposure in the butcher’s shop are abundantly sent to the sausage-maker, or sometimes pickled and dried; that ( some sausage-makers will utilize even the most diseased organs which can be furnished to them. Fortunately, the appearance of good fresh meat is known to most people. It should be firm and elastic when touched, scarcely moistening the finger; it should have a marbled appearance from the ramifications of little layers of fat among the muscles, and no odor beyond that which characterizes fresh meat. When allowed to stand for some time the surface becomes dry. Bad meat, on the other hand, is an< l sodden, and continues so; it has, moreover, a sickly odor. When the flesh has a deep purple tint, it is probable that the animal has not been slaughtered, or else that it has suffered from some fever. We may lay it down in theory, at all events, that it is only the meat of healthy animals that have been slaughtered which is fit for the food of man, and yet there can be no doubt that the meat obtained from sickly and even diseased animals has sometimes been eaten with impunity. It is beyond question that the eating of meat of this description has often been followed by poisonous symptoms, but it is equally certain that these are by no means the invariable result. This apparent anomaly has given rise to much controversy, and a solution of it is only to be arrived at by having regard to the exact nature of the disease and the stage to which it has progressed.— Good Words.

The Cost of Pensions.

From the foundation of the Government until 1861 the United States paid in pensions the sum of $89,886,359.65. Since that time the enormous sum of $562,741,170,67 has been paid out.

With His Own Weapon.

When Ole Bull visited Lexington, Ky., Mr. Clay wrote him a note regretting his inability to attend his concert. The next day the violinist entered Mr. Clay’s house and in a room adjoining the one in which Mr. Clay was seated, played “The Last Rose of Summer.” “Ah, that must be Ole Bull!” The doors were thrown open and they embraced. By “The Last Rose of Summer,” in fact, it sseems that Ole Bull took captive all our statesmen. At any rate, a number of Senators asked him to play in Washington. Mr. Bennett offered him the columns of the Herald to reply to his French rivals, and Ole Bull replied: “I tink, Mr. Bennett, it is best tey writes against me and I play against tern.”

Steam Safer Than Horse Power.

The proportion of accidents to travelers in France has been greatly reduced since the slow diligence has been superseded by the steam-driven rapid car. When horses were the motive power, one traveler in every 385,000 were killed, and one in every 30,000 wounded. The returns show that nowadays one in 5,178,490 is killed, and one in 580,450 fa wounded. .... •

Day’s Letton at th* Boston Cookinc School. 7 [From the Boston Journal.] At the usual ringing of the bell the large cooking class came t» order and displayed immediately commendable attention, which did not abate throughout the demonstration. As almost all the dishes on the programme required a “slow bake," ana, therefore, several hours, they had mostly been prepared before the class assembled, in, order that they might be tested when completed. Mrs. Lincoln read the recipes, however, with comments, giving the necessary explanations. For baked beans she advised small peabeans, as they were much better than the yellow-eyed, and not to be tired of so soon. The quality of beans is found to vary from year to year. This year it is not so good as usual. Soak the beans over night in cold water, and then simmer until they are tender, but don’t put them on to bake in the water in which they have been boiled. It is very poor economy, for it makes the beans hard and indigestible. Having suitably prepared the beans, the rind of the pork must be dipped in water, scraped with a knife and cut into pieces one-half an inch thick. The other ingredients—salt, mustard and molasses—being added, with water enough to cover the beans, they must bake slowly as long as possible. Some of the ladies being surprised at the addition of mustard, Mrs. Lincoln explained its use, and stated further that a small onion gave a delicious flavor. By stirring canned corn into the beans, a variety can be obtained in the standard dish. It is not necessary to cover the beans, unless the fire is very hot, but they must be looked at every half hour. Having read the reciept of brown bread, with the comment that graham flour should be used, as being more wholesome, and the recipe of buckwheat cakes, Mrs. Lincoln gave some very useful hints in making Indian pudding. The old-fashioned cornmeal is much better than the granulated; a cup of cold water makes the pudding wney; it must be baked eight hours in a slow oven. As in the case of baked beans, the dish is very important. For the beans a bean-pot must be used; a Boston bean-pot, for in New York the proper kind cannot be procured; for the pudding a deep dish is important, one that holds about two quarts and a half.

For apple dumplings, the next recipe demonstrated, the crust can be made in a variety of ways —one of the best being given in the recipe—and the apples can be pared and cut in eighths or used whole. The last reciept on the programme, apple pie—common apple pie, not puff paste —was deftly but quickly made. Flour, salt, lard anti butter were mixed into the flour lightly and thoroughly. A paste was made by the addition of cold water, then cut through and through until all came up clean from the bowl, and then rolled over and cut again and rolled again until the paste had become crust. The apples, greenings, were pared after they had been quartered, and placed in a crust in a tin plate. The last part of the apple-pie process was binding the pie around the edges with a piece of wet linen cloth, a new device for the perfecting of an old-fashioned pie. By this time the beans, brown bread and pudding were pronounced in a satisfaciory condition to be tasted, the doughinuts had been properly fried in another room, to the contentment of those who dislike the odor of burning lard, and these products of the afternoon’s lesson were passed around among the pupils for testing; The Wilmington, Del., ATewssays: J. E. Shaw, Esq., proprietor Grand Union Hotel, New York, indorses St. Jacobs Oil for rheumatism and neuraleia.

Parental Responsibility.

Your child is not tour/child in the sense in which it is commonly understood to be. It is not only connected with your life, but with an older and wider life back of yours. The child is not only the outgrowth of its father’s and mother’s life, but is the latest manifestation of a larger and wider life which circles through the arteries of society. A recognition of these facts will lead to the conclusion that your child is not a gift, but merely a loan to you. We are to consider that each child has a significance of its own, different from anything that ever before existed, and our duty is to bring out that significance.— Prof. Adler.

The Unfortunate Salesman.

How to Start an Echo.

We cannot vouch for the truth of the following story, but an Austin gentleman said he was an eye-witness of the occurrence. He was on a steamboat on the Hudson river with a party of excursionists. The boat stopped at a place in the river where there is is a wonderful echo. One of the gentlemen asked everybody in the crowd for a pistol with which to wake up the echoes. Nobody had any pistol, but a gentleman from Arkansaw said -that he had something that was a darned sight more reliable than a pistol, and, pulhng out of his boot a knife with a thirteeninch blade, handed it over to the party who wanted to stir up the- echoes.— Texas Siftings.

A Doctor’s Occupation Gone.

A good story is told of a doctor whose most profitable patient was an old lady who suffered greatly from dyspepsia, nervousness and weak kidneys. His medicines seemed to relieve her, but did no permanent Sood. Her nephew induced a trial of Dr. uysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, which benefited her so much that she dismissed the doctor. His peculiar sensitiveness caused him to give up his practice, and, instead of responding to professional calls, ho often merely grunted “take Guigott’s,” which saying became proverbial in the neighborhood, and a large sale of this medicine soon sprang up. Ask your druggist to get it for you.

The meanest man on record is the one who promised his boy a pair of skates if he would not cry for a week, and when the time was nearly up, and the boy felt certain of the skates, took him into the shed and thrashed him. Hansom cabs are run in Philadelphia by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and passengers are carried to nearly any point in the city for 25 cents, or two persons for the same price. The Dartmouth asserts that 30 per cent, of the students of that college are skeptics. Women are most perfect when most womanly.— Glads tone.

Adam’s Fall.—Ever since Adam's fall, which subjected human nature to diseases of the flesh, there has been a demand for a blood purifier. On the purity and vitality of the blood depend the health and vigor of tbo whole system. Various diseases are often only the sign that nature is trying to remove a disturbing cause. Hood’s Sarsaparilla gives life and vigor to the blood, cures scrofula and prevents many diseases that would occur. “What would you do, Mr. M, if your wife died?” asked Mrs. D. Mr. M.

FAMOUS CASE IN BOSTON.

’My little four-year-old girl had a powerful eruption on her face and head. Under her eyes it was regular scalding red and sore, like a bum. Back of her left ear we had to shave her hair close to her head. Five or six physicians and two hospitals gave up her case ss incurable, save that she might outgrow it. When it began to maturate I became alarmed. In three weeks, with Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the sores began to heal; two bottles made her eyes as clear as ever. To-day she is as well as I am.” JOHN CAREY, IM D Street, South Boston. ATTEST: I know John Carey.
