The vacant asainunt w-cretambi of the treasury is to be filled by a man hail ingfrom some point west of tbe Alle«hanies, provided any person can be found who will have it. It is not tho»tht the appointing power will experience much trouble in finding a m*n.

It ia rumored that Secretary Kirkwood will be provided with a foreign mission as soon as he retires from the cabinet. At present the Austrian, Chilian, Chinese, German and Buesian missions are vacant also that to Paraguay and Uruguay, oce of which, according to rumor, will be given to Mr. Kirk wood.

David Dudley Field has drawn up a bill fixing the degree nf insanity necessary to render a man irresponsible for his acts, and Mr. Springer, of Illinois, has introduced it in the house of representatives. It is generally conceded among lawyers that such a law would be impracticable, and it is not possible that it will pass.

Mr. Stockslager, of this state, has introduced two bills providing for the payment of the Morgan raid claims in this state. One provides for the audit and payment of bills for property taken by the Union forces while in pursuit of the guerilla, and for which no vouchers were filed. The other provides for the payment of claims for losses incurred during the raid which have been filed by citizens of this state in the quartermaster general's office, upon the adjudication of the Morgan raid commission, which was appointed by the governor, together, with the proofs introduced before tbe commission.

The committee on war claims evinces a disposition to pay all the loyal claims which come before it, and to prevent this, at its first meeting, Mr. Holm an, of this state, offered a resolution referring back to the hou?e all bills pending before the committee with the recommendation that they be indefinitely postponed, which Is equivalent to the advising that lie bills be not passed. Mr. Holman ia a chronic objecter to appropriations generally, and it is in that particular role he excels his brother members. The resolution was referred to a sub-committee, who will probably refer it back with the recommendation that it be icdefinately peppomd.,.

A strong effort is being made to have Mr. Hunt retained in the navy ^department, and his friends are doing all in their power to save him. Louisiana is out in force, and the delegatians rival those from Maryland. Senator Kellogg has taken no hand in the fight, and say* he has no intention of doing so. He was the original Hunt man, and secured hie appointment. His action at that time was not appreciated in the south, where Mr. Hunt was not looked upon as a representative southern man. Since then a change *eems to have come over them and they are clamoring on Senator Kellogg to come to tbe rescue, which he refuses to do, but says he will be satisfied in any event.

Tha interior department under Carl Schurs is to be investigated, at least so ar as its transactions with the Northern Pacific Railroad Company arc concerned. It appears that at one time the commissioner of the general land office rendered a decision declaring the land grant to the company lapsed nnder the operations of the law granting the same that the decision was overruled by Secretary Schurz without reference of the subject to congress and that he restored the grant to the company. Senator Teller, of Colorado, has introdoced a resolution calling upon Secretary Kirkwood for all the papers in the case, together with a statement of the number of acre* of land which have been patented to the company or its assigns since July 4,1876.

it is trnch worfe than has ever been enspected, but the authorities have managed t" keep it quiet. Chicago is still ecourged with it, and there is reason to btlieve that Cincinnati is in about the same condition. Thua far Indianap olis bas bad hut three cases, all ol which were imported, and extraordinary precautions have been tsken to guard against 'the disease. The state board of health bas JaiB down rules regarding vaccination, which are' being pretty generally obperved here, although not to the extent which they should be. Persons who have been vaccinated previous to this year are not compelled 0 have the operation again pei formed, but it would be much better to have it done as a matter of precaution. The northern portion of the state is swept by tbe disease, while on tbe south of us it ia making certain headway in Daviess county. Jn the little town of Bristol, in Elkhart county, there vere twenty eases and eight deaths before the ravages were stopped. Fort Wayne has many cases, and the same is true of Richmond and Madison. Aa we are daily in communication with nearly all there point?, it is very fortunate that we have taen exempt so long, and there is no telling how soon it may be in our midat. Thote who have not attended to the matter ebould be vaccinated at once. The time for rchool children has been extended to Jan. 30, after which time each refusal to comply with the orders of the state board of health will be reported, and will be prosecuted if the refusal is persisted in. As no action has yet been taken by the county commissioners in the matter, probably they are not conversant with tbe law. It reads as follows:

It isjnst as necessary that steps should be taken for the prevention of the disease in the conutry as iu the city. When it strikes a village it does much damage before its progress is arrested. About onehalf the population of this county resides in tbe country, and are entitled to the same means of protection as their city brethren. We believe the city board of health is doing all in its power to guard against the dreaded enemy. Perhaps the county commissioners think there ia no danger, and are deferring action on that account. If they are right all may be well, bat if they are wrong they will be held responsible for their error.

THE CABINET.

Tbe nomination of Sargent to

all

Bucceed

Kirkwood still hangs fire, and there is a probabilty that California will not be honored with a seat in the cabinet after all. The president is very cautious, and has evidently started ouijjwith the intention of making no mistakes where it is possible to avoid them. Thus far the administration has been all that the most critical could desire, and it is not probable there will be any change. While Mr.

Sargent and

his friends have been loud in tbeir assertions of having assurance from the president of a cabinet position, it is asserted with equal force on the other side that no Ruch assurance has been given, and that about tbe only thing known with any degree ef certainty is that Kirkwood will be removed. Mr. Sargent has no outspoken opposition to his appointment, but the rumor of his elevation does not meet with that hearty approval which is generally witnessed in such esses. His position on tbe Mormon question has not been in accord with the views expressed by the president and entertained by the country at large. There are numerous gentlemen in the country whose views accord with those of the president on all questions of importance, who would not only make ood cabinet officers but who would be willing to accept tbe position, and it is not

likely that Mr. Arthur will forget

this goint in making a selection.^ His past conduct warrants this belief

Rev. Dr. John Cotton Smith, rector of the Church of the Ascension, New York, who died at his residence in that city on Monday, was born in Massachusetts in 1826, and graduated at Bowdoin College at the age of twenty-one. He atudied theology and war ordained to the Protestant Episcopal church ministry at Gambier, Ohio, In 1849. He afterward became rector of St. John's church, at Bangor, Maine, and etxll later assistant minister of Trinity Cburcb, Boston. In 1860 he became rector of the Church of the A«cension, in New York, which position he held nntil his death. He was the Author of a number of published sermons and lectures, and a book, "Miscellanies, Old and New." He was one of the most prominent theologians in New York. m-$

Ima^iitd tiic convenience offlnving & irfce, tidy woman coming up to your rooms early in tho morning, say 8 o'clock, cooking your breakfast and then doing all. your chamber-work, sweeping. aus^iug aud leavjng you. in perfect order for the day by 10 o'clock, just two hour?, aodl#U this for the modest cost of ten cents. Their charges are actually but five' eents an hour. A great many quite, well-to-do families lire in this way, having the femme de menage two hours three times a day to prepare their meals and do^he necessary housework. For thoge who do not care to take their early breakfast at home there are the nicest little places, called cremeries, where you can get a bowl of coffee or chocolate and a roll for four or five cents. These little establishments, in addition to their early breakfa- tr:de, ,scll fresh butter ana eggs, m'v* A cream, cheese and fruit. Itis suiv-.o.a What a small quantity of provi oris you can buy in Paris. For exampl who would dare in New York ask f-v Wo cents' worth of butter? Here it i3 a ni'atter of course, and the fresh, ol an-lookiug girl, always wearing a white apron and cap, servos you across a snowy white marble counter, and cuts the exact quantity with a wire, never making a mistake as you will see when it is weighed. Amongothcr conveniences for those who do not want to cook at home are tho charcuteric shops, at which are sold cold ham, tongue, veal and delicious gelatitfe, a sbrt of boned chicken, and turkey, all kinds of sausages, and even sardines at retail, two for a cent. These are all sold by the small quantity.

A slice of ham for five cents is enough for several sandwiches. Again at the Rotissene you crfn buy roast chickcn just out of the ovep, whole or by the piece, a leg or wing, or slice of breast. All kinds of game or meat are to be had already roasted, or cooked to order, and sent homo-.«o any specified hour. It is an immense convenience, and a great saving in fuel alone. There jjre also to bo seen little stalls where fried potatoes and small fish are sold hot, every day from 11 till to 2 o'clock, when you will meet strings of girls and men in their blouses hurrying off with a brown paper bag steaming in their hands, two or three cents1 worth being enough for a meal, even for a hungry man.

Speaking of fuel, I must tell you of a little contrivanco I discovered which is invaluable, and certainly the cheapest cooking apparatus ever invented. It is a tiny stove of sheet-iron, hardly larger than a quart measure. It costs about twenty-five cents. The material burned in it is a sort of very fine charcoal called braise, which is bought at the baker's. It is the residue of the baker's fuel, and "it is sold veiy cheaply —four cents' worth being enough to 1st the whole week. The firo in this little stove is enough to make tea and coffee, and to boil eggs, or even to broil fish or chops. It makes no dirt, and it is exceedingly easy to light a fire." ,s J. I" I

"is The Place Where Oats Can't Live. Jim Townsend, of Lundy, has been making some experiments with an ordinarj^domestic cat. It has been repeatedly stated that a cat could not five at an altitude of 13,000 feet above the sea. Mr. Townsend has demonstrated that such is the fact. On Monday last he and another gentleman made the ascent of- Castle Peak, which is a little over 13,000 feet high. They took with them a cat—Thomas—that was a year old, and had lived at an altitude of 6,000 feet with no symptoms of disease. Mr. Townsend had the cat in a box, and as they went up he took observations and noted veiy carefully its every movement. When the summit was reached they pitched their tent. This was about 2 olock in the afternoon. The cat partook of some food, and after playing for an hour or so, fell asleep and did not wake up again until near midnight. When it did recover consciousness it set up a howling and appeared much distressed. Townsend pitied it and endeavored to make it feel at home, but of no use. It kept up its constant moaning and displayed symptoms of having fits. When morning came the cat was offered food, but it refused to oat, and acted even more strangely than during the night. Townsend says it would open its mouth as if gasping for breath would jump about, anil then go to sleep and wake up with a start. All this while close watch was kept and every movement noted. At 5 o'clock in tho afternoon the cat died of exhaustion. Bodie (Cal.) Free Press. mn-i

Einlaging''

Writes a correspondent: "The next competition was between women, and is called 'einlaging.' Strings are thrown across the street from window to window, about eleven feet from the ground. From tho qentre of each is suspended a .potato, tied in a handkerchief, which the women, blindfolded, are to try and strike. The sport caused a great sensation. The street, one occupied by the poor and humble but respectable and hard-working people, was filled some timo before the fun began. Two young stalwart men, with broad, round faces, emerged from a small doorway, holding aloft the. prizes to be competed for. They were in pairs, the two Highest being cheaply-silvered vases, the seconds being the same in blue china.

This proceeding was repeated, there being two otner pairs of prizes. The old women tried first. Each stcod about^en steps off from the sdspended potato, facing it. She was honestly blindfolded, then given a huge wooden ladle, with which she was to try and strike the potato. The first old lady struck in tl\e air before she was moro than half way.

The Brighton Railway company, which of late years has been a pioneer of improvements on the iron road, l'an a special train from Victoria to Brighton and back, with a saloon carriage lighted by stored electricity.

while the complete success which attended the experiment must unquestionably mark a new departure in railway management. It was only a few months since M. Faure sent, to Sir William Thomson .liis* little box of lead plates coated with red oxide anil fully charged with electricity. .The great British physicist saw at once its capabilities, and now every day seems to he bringing to light some new application of tins, the simplest of nil apparatus ever designed by genius. The Pullman car, on which yesterday's experiment was made, carried beneath it on a shelf some thirty-two small metal boxes, technically cells, each of which contained leaden plates cOated with the oxide known as'red lead. Nothing less pretentious or more inert in cutward appearance could well be imagined. Yet there was stored up in thoso sheets of lead an amount of force which, if it could bo suddenly liberated, would vastly exceed tho power of any storm of tropical lightning. A steam-engine had been at work the previous night, producing, a current-, of electricity, which, in some mysterious manner,had hidden itself away in, the folds of the metal and beneath the cloak of red oxide, but was ready in an instant to give back in the form of light or of force the energy that had created it. Twelve of Mr.Swan's little incandcscent lamps were fixed to tho roof of the carriage, and all that was necessary when tho train passed through a tunnel, or when darkness came on, was to turn a switch, and instantaneously a mild, steady, and brilliant light filledr-the saloon. From the point of view of the traveler, the experiment was completely successful a superior illumination'could hardly be desired and if it bo true, as possible sanguine electricians assert, that this storage can be effected at a smaller cost than oil, the experiment may, in the near future, have widereaching effects.

Pat's "Divershin."

A story is told of an Englishman'who landed at Dublin, a few months a go, filled with apprehension that the life of any loyal suDject of her Majesty was not worth a farthing there and there--abouts. The Land Leaguers, he imagined, were all bloodthirsty assassins, and all that sort of thing. But it was his duty to travel in the land—a duty he approached with fear and trembling. Now there happened to be on his routo a number of towns the names of which begin with the suggestive syllable "Kil." There were KUmartin, and so on. In his ignorance of geographical nomenclature, his affrighted senses were Btartled anew on hearing a fellow passenger in tbe railway carriage remark to another as follows: "I'm just afther bem' over to Kilpatrick." "And I," replied the other, "am afther bein' over to Kilmary." "What murderers they are!" thought the Englishman. "And to think that they talk of their assassinations so publicly!" But the conversation went on. "And fhare are ye goin' now?" asked assassin No. 1. "I'm goin' home, and then toKilmore. was No. 2's reply. The Lnglismftit blood curdled. Kilmore, is it?" added No. I. "You'd bettlter be coram' alone wud me to Kilumalle!" It is related that tho Englishman left the train at the next station. -'ft

t.AYIKO THK ITP18 FOB *84. WASHincmw, January 10.—Senator Bayard's spccch to-day upon the tariff question is quite generally complimented an an able presentation of the subject from his standpoint. One comment, especially among Democrats, is that the speech brines Bayard forward for the Presidential nominatios in 1884. The idea tethat Bayard has planted himself upon a middle or compromise ground with regard to the tariff, and that he haa thns worked out a new line of policy for his party that after ita experience of last year the Democratic party will not enter another National canvass upon the platform of "tarifl for revenue only that the middle groued taken by Bayard in hh speech offers a platform upon which all Democrats may stand together, and if they accept it, Bayard is the man for them to nominate for President. This is about the substance of comment among Democratic Congressmen who agree with Bayard, and are inclined to look favorably upon hit promotion. There are, of course, others who are not willing to accept Bayard's leadership and prominence. His strongest friends and supporters are from the East and South. His speech was candid and straightforward. He denounced the protective system now in force as unjast, oppressive »nd out of place. He did not indicate that be waa willing to sacrifice principle to expediency. He said the protective system was born of war, and was perhaps good enough in time of war, bnt now, in time of peace, it is as much ont of place as an arsepal would be where it was proposed to manufacture woolen goods. He denounced the doctrine of tariff for protection with incidental revenue, and declared that the tariff should be a just and equitable tax, laid to meet tbe expenses oMhe Government.

AGEICUL' CONVENTION. WASHINGTON, January 10.—About 150 delegates from agricultural colleges and societies met at the AgricnltBral Department to-day. Commissioner Loring was elected chairman. A paper was read by Prof. George H. Cooke, of Rutgers College, upon agricultural education. The paper was discussed by ex-Senator Sargent and others.

Among the questions raised in the discussion was whether means can be devised to induce graduates of agricultural colleges to return to their farm work instead of drifting into other occupations. The belief seemed to be general that there are far brighter prospects for the young gradnate who courageously takes np his farm work, and carries it on in an intelligent manner than for tbe same young man in any other career open to him. At the conclusion of the debate, Dr. Loring delivered an address.WIe predicted a grand future for all branches of the science, as he said agriculture
