PRINCIPAL POINTS IN THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE,

Society Sensation at Columbus Ohio.

MURDER OF A ST. LOUIS POLICEMAN

The President's Message.

WASHINGTON

refers

to the suppression of

the colored vote, and suggests that some measures be taken to prevent this outrage on a free ballot. In this matter he takes grounds that will be satisfactory to the most advanced Stalwart. He declares that the agitation of this subject will continue as long as any considerable portion of the vote of Southern electors is suppressed,. or they are defrauded of their rights as electors through any of the numerous means recently employed. In reference to civil service reform he claims that progress has been made under his administration and reforms instituted, although admitting that a'great deal re mains to be done. In reference to re funding, he cites Congress to the exhaustive report of Secretary Sherman, and makes no recommendation 'himself as to the particulars of refunding or the proper bond to be issued.

He refers at length io the success of refunding, and gives figures showing the saving In interest, &c. He refers to the successful maintenance of specie payments as mak*ng, a refunding of the aebt possible. Secretary Schurz gets a highly complimentary allusion to his success in Indian management, and a brood indorse ment of his Indian policy. The section devoted to affairs in Utah is very emphatic, and will act as a bee in the bonnet of Delegate Oanon, of Utah, who has four -wives at borne and a seat in Congress. There is no mistaking the the tone of this ^art of the message. It is as strongly anti-polygamy as any document that nas ever come from the White House. The President makes no allusion to his Utah visit last summer, but argues the question in a general way, as he has done in previous messages, except that his language this time is unusually strong. He calls the attention of Congress tq their failure to provide money to enforce the National election laws. This portion of his address is slightly sarcastic. He refers to the fact that the fishery dispute growing out of the disturbances at Fortune Bav is in a fair way to satisfactory settlement. He refers at length to tion, and embodies th

the Chinese questhe result of a good

deal of information he collected on the subject during his recent visit to the Pa clfic Coast. Indeed, there is much in the message which is the result of the President's observations on his recent tour to the Far West, and is embraced under the heads of "Indian Affairs," "Public Lands System," and "The Chinese Question." The messane, as a whole, is a review of his adminis ~alioa, and the most interesting portion is that in which he treats of the Southern question. On the whole, it is an encouraging message—that is, there is vesy little In it hopeful spirit.

ST. Lotrts, December 5.—An iher cold blooded murder was committed here la*t night. About 1:90 o'clock this morning aa Poliece Officer Sheehar was passing the corner of Sixteenth and Olive streets he observed the door of John .R.

Stationing Walsh at the front of the house, Sheehan went to the rear to wtke »p the coach* man| Duriog officer Shechan.* abaence two men appeared on Olive street, but exactly whert the/tame from is not known. 'WfMiitlfoi Mjm. whereupon one of twt ftjjftflwfy drew a revolver and wwlfflfli the mad.

An ^ahntea® was prfcW as fp*e!8y as pow^bfe ted Walsh was Hsned for the fospital, but be died on the way, and his body wa» takan to the Morgue. Is mm learned today that Mr. Lionbergw's house wis not entered last nirist. but mend IwrgltrtttaefieowsmHted a few blocks of it, and from the drramstaieees la the case it is beloved that the two men hailed by Walsh were concerned hi

them. Ihrtdently^tbey Wiled the officer to avoidfarrest. The police suspect sev oral parlies, but no real clew to the murderer has yet been obtained.

D, C., Dec. 5.-It is learned

upon unquestioned authority to night that many of the reports published and claiming to contain the inside points of the President's message to be sent to Congress to-morrow, are erroneous. The message is the longest the President has ever written, and will make six or seven columns in this paper. It covers ninety five sheets of large writing paper, and, and as it is now prepared and sealed in a large envelope to be sent to Congtess it makes a formidable looking document. It opens with reference to the prosperous condition of the country, and refers at some length to the causes which have led to this prosperity. Our condition is contrasted with that of a few years ago, when strikes and clamor of discontent filled the land, labor not having adequate employment. and dangerous dissatisfaction manifested in all industrial centers. The President congratulates the country upon the happy turn our affairs have taken, and points out that all the signs of the times indicated the continance [continuance] of this prosperity. He passes to the consideration of the Southern question, and this branch of the subject is really a review of his administration. He claims that there has been a steady improvement in affairs at the South, although they are below the correct standard yet. He refers to the suppression of

Society Sensation. Columbus, O., December 5.—The friends of Geo. S. McMahon, the gay young jilter of Miss Carrie, daughter of

Mr. C. A. Piatt, of this city, at the very

hour fixed for their marriage, last Tuesday evening, learned to-day that McMahon was discharged from his position with the Davis Furniture Company of Louisville, and that he expected to return here this forenoon. He has not arrived yet, however, and it may be better for him to remain away from Columbus for a time, as it is said that Miss Platt's brother swears that he will kill McMahon on sight, and Platt's, friends seem to think that he will carry out his threat.

Meanwhile the poor disappointed girl lies in a critical condition with the brain fever, with which she was suddenly struck down by McMahon's cruelty, although it is thought that her condition is somewhat improved to-day.

McMahon's acquaintances here speak of him as a gentleman, and say that he is so devoted a member of the Catholic Church that he would make any and every sacri fice demanded by the clergy. McMahon claims that he was threatened with excommunication by Bishop Watterson if he would allow himself to be married by a Protestant clergyman, even if before or after the ceremony had been performed by a priest.

There is still considerable excitement in society circles over the matter, and the local papers, with the exception of one or two, of Sunday issue only, still refuse, for Miss Platt's sake, to say anything about the affair.

The fact that no member of the Royal family will represent the Emperor William at the forthcoming fete of St.

Germany.

BERLIN, December 5.—The Provincial School Commissiou has recommended the Government to dismiss two teachers for displaying animosity against the Jews.

The National Zeiting prints a letter from Dr. Morits Busch, stating that he ceased two years ago to conduct the Leipsic Grenzbote. He says he would not have admitted into its columns articles against the Jews such as it recently published, or the anti-Jewish petition presented to the Reichstage.

The Grenzbote, having printed an article on the history of Saxony, from 1866 to 1870, which, in view of the inspired character usually attributed to the Grenzbote was calculated to embarrass the German Government, a sense official announcement is issued that the article did not emanate from any offical source, least of all from any person in Prince Bismarck's encourage.

Mr. Parnell. in addressing the land meeting at Waterford to-day, said that Mr. Gladstone dare not postpone a satisfactory solution of the land difficulty, and he thought that the collapse of the Cabinet was certain.

The Thunderer on the Message.

LONDON, December 5.—The Times, this morning, commenting on the forecast of President Hayes message, says it is almost a nunc dimittis. In referring

to the proposed refunding of the debt it observes: "Happy is the Nation that has such an opportunity and is strong enough to accomplish it."

The Times urges the importance of the final settlement of the fishery dispute.

ceuaioid^-:..^iiipi

Celluloid is a composition of nne tissue paper and camphor, treated with chemicals by a patented process. A rather common impression that it con* tains gun-cotton is a mistake, which arises from confounding it with collodion. Celluloid, it is said, is entirely non-explosive, and burns onlv when in direct contact with flame. When crude it looks like transparent gum, and its color is alight yellow-brown. It can be made as bard as ivory, but is always, elastic, and can be moulded into anjr conceivable form. With equal ease it can be colored in any tint desired, the dye running through the entire substance, and being therefore ineffaceable.

Celluloid has made great inroads on the business of Hie ivoiy manufacturers. Its makers assert that in durability it is much superior to ivory, as it sustains hard knocks without injury and is not discolored by age or use. Great quanti ties are used for piano and organ keys Billiard balls are made of celluloid at

half the price of ivory, and are more durable and equally elastic. Large amounts are used for combs of every variety, for the backs of brushes and hand mirrors, and for all kinds of toilet articles for which ivorv has been employed. Among many other artlcleis in which celluloid takes the place of ivory or india rubber, are whip, cane and umbrella handles, every kind of harness trimmings, foot rules, cnessmen, and the handles of knives and forks.

The freedom of celluloid from sulphur, and the natural flesh color which can be imparted to it, have caused it to be extensively substituted for india rubber in the manufacture of dental blanks, or the .gums and other attachments of artificial teeth, and is superior for pencil cases, jewelry, etc., where gold mountings are used, as it does not tarnish the metal.

Celluloid can be mottled so as to' imitate the finest tortoise-shell, and in this form it is used for combs, card cases,

made into mouth-pieces for pipes, cigar holders and musical instruments, and is used as the material of flutes, flageolet and drumsticks. For* drumheads it said to be superior to parchment, as it ii not affected by moisture in the atmos phere. As a substitute for porcelain celluloid is used for dolls' heads, which can be hammered on the floor without danger of fracture. Beautiful jewelry is made of it iu imitation of the most elaborately carved coral, reproducing all the shades of the gennine article.

One large establishment is employed exclusively in making optical goods, using celluloid in black of tortoise-shell, jet, etc., for frames of spectacles, eye glasses and opera glasses. It is also extensively used for shoe tips instead of metal tips, having the appearance of patent leather is also used for insoles. Large quantities of thimbles are made from it, and it is said to be the best material known for emery wheels and knife sharpeners.

Another branch of celluloid manufac tore has been developed which promise to reach enormous proportions. This is the use of celluloid as a substitute for linen or paper shirt cuflls, collars, etc. It has the appearance of well starched linen, is sufficiently light and flexible, does not wrinkle, is not affected by per* spiration, and can be worn for months without injury, and is easily cleaned with soap and water. From six to twelve thousand dosen collars and cuffs are made each week, and orders are coming in from aQ parts of the country. It has been lately used for watch eases, and there seems to be no limit to uses of th ^lost wonderful product.

ViNCKNNBa, IND., December 5.—Last night thieves entered the pottofflce Hall Bro'a. grocery store and Peter Pomit's extensive flour mill. At the former place they blew open the safe and obtained about $10 worth of stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers. The safe in Hall's grocery was also blown open, but nothing found nor was anything taken At

(."oaxaiaptkm of Coffee.

America is fast becoming, if she is not already, the greatest coffee-consuming country on the globe. «Coffee is no longer luxury, but a necessity of the humole home as well as the abode of the rich. We import annually, in round numbers, 800,000300 pounds of coffee, the value of which is $25,000,000. This is every year increasing, in a greater ratio than that of any nation on the globe. Our increase during the last twenty-five years has been e| per cent., against t} per cent, for Europe.* The substitutes for coffee Tbkh have met with such fcvor in other countries are not popular in America. We can hardly understatid low bow the world got along before the ays of coffee. The Greeks and Romans jever got ascent at this glorious beverage for even centuries after it was used in Ethiopia and Abyssinia. During the nxleenth century ft was carried down

Egypt from Arabia, and about the Mine time its lame began to spread over Europe. ii
