The new pension agent at Philadelphia appointed an ex-confederate soldier as his chief deputy, but «there was such general outcry, of indignation that he removed him.

Some of the names of the petitioners for the pardonofMullen, of Cincinnati, were forged to the paper submitted to the president. It was a wise act on the part of the latter to say in the pardon that he granted it because of the high standing of those petitioning him and for "other rea sons." "Other reasons" comes in strong in this case.

The Ohio "kid democracy" took everything by storm. The "kid democracy" are forninst civil service snd belong to the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Payne Standard Oil company gang. They do not believe in Cleveland's pretense for civil-service reform and are spoilsmen of the most pronounced type. The resolu tion "indorsing" the administration is of no significance. It was merely a formal affair and not binding.

P.-'S SECRETARY.

The Hon. Hughes East Says Air. Hendricks is Not Seeking Political Preferment.

The Hon. Hughes East," private secretary to Vice President Hendricks, is visiting Mr. J. B. Hunley, accompanied by his family. An Express reporter met Mr. East at the postoffice this forenoon, conversing with Postmaster Began. "I see, Mr. East," said the reporter, "in a reported interview you stated .that Vice President Hendricks would not be a candidate in 1888." "The Jones controversy," said Mr. East, "wfts placed in thef light that Mr. Hendricks was seeking occasion to strengthen himself.' I sought the occasion to state that Mr. Hendricks was not seeking political preferment. I see that the Indianapolis papers have adopted the rate of one dollar a line for interviews, and with your permission we will cut this interview short."

Mr. East is looking well, and is on his way to Visit his old home and friends in Greene county. He will remain in the city until to-morrow.

A Word for the Marquis.

London lfigaro. It appears that a false report has been current (though few probably heard of it till they read the official contradiction) that Mme. Patti had commuted for the lump sum of £16,000 the pension of £1,400 a year which it is alleged she allows the Marquis de Caux. It would be interesting to know who invents these fables. M. Johnson, speaking in Mme. Patti'a name, correctly says there is not a word of truth in the story. When the marquis and Mme. Patti mutually separated they made a division of assets in a proportion which it would be a breach of private affairs to specify. The marquis has no pension from Mme. Patti, and the alleged commutation is consequently a pure fiction.

The team, fortunately, came to a stand, and Mr. Clodell was -assisted from his perilous position, his head bearing a painful cut and his shoulder bruised. After washing his face at the pump and binding a handkerchief about his head,he mounted to the seat of his wagon and drove off toward Main street, where he was last seen. O

No MONEY, -NO BIDE.—Two lusty young fellows, who had boarded a westbound Vandalia freight train near the Electric Light company's works, yesterday evening, were discovered by the train hands just before reaching the bridge, and were unceremoniously thrown from t£e train, down the high bank on the north side of the track. They were somewhat scratched in their long and hard tumble, but not so seriously injured as to prevent their clambering up the bank shortly after the train had passed and striking out westward on foot.

ELOPERS CAUGHT.

A Pair of Newport Elopers Arrested and Then Set free Again. NEW YORK, N. Y., August 20.—

Among the passengers by the steamboat Old Colony, which arrived from Newport, B. I., early this morning, wer young man and a young woman who had traveled in company from Newport, oc cupying separate state-rooms. Both were well dressed, and the young woman was very attractive in person, neat in dress, and had a pleasant, face. When they landed both were arrested' and taken to police headquarters. The young woman proved to be Louisa Hodgson, the 23-year-old daughter of John M. Hodgson, a florist at Bellevue and Leroy avenues, who als6 owns a large establishment at Fifth avenue and Forty-fifth street, in this city. Her companion was Bichard A. Merritt, 27 years old, who had been for ten years in the employ of Hodgson. Merritt said that he had eloped with the girl for the jurpose of gettiug married. They had een brought up together almost from childhood, and were devotedly attached to each otner. The parents of the girl were opposed to the match. The mother had given" her consent, but-at the command of the father had withdrawn it. As they despaired of getting the consent of thflTld folks they had determined to get married without it Their arrest spoiled their plans. MJBS Hodgson corroborated all that Merritt said, and asserted that she had left her home without coercing and in pursuance of a plan formed weeks ago. Later in the day both were discharged and the magistrate said they should not have been arrested. They were both of age and free to do as they liked. Merritt said that they would get married as soon as' possible and return to Newport by this evening's boat if they found a minister in time.

The only member who can he said to rival Mr. Talbot is Mr. Gladstone, who was born in 1800, and has been a member ofjtlie house of commons since 1832, with an interval of two years from 1845 to 1847.

Nilsson Was present and listened for a time with exemplary patience to the usual excruciating noises. But suddenly she disappeared, and presently, froin the heart of the greenery, arose, to the amazement of the Tyrolese and the delight of the Scwalbachians, that voice that has given so much pleasure to thousands, even when they have had to pay a big sum for the privilege of hearing it.

I want nothing to do with a man who is so formal and heartless as that." He was not aware of the existence of the type writer, explains the Christian Advocate, which tells the story, and thought the story, and thought the matter was printed.

UKE MAXINKUGKEE.

A Trip Overland to the Lake—Fond 111tos, Storms and Waves—Cheap Living and High-Priced Building Sites.

Correspondence of the Indianapolis News. LAKE MAXOIKUCKEE, Ind., Aug. -15.— About eighteen or twenty years ago I saw a family start to drive through the country to Kansas. Their starting point was a little town in Jackson county, whefe I was going to school. Words w0hld fail to express the envy. I felt at this sight Here was a company of. people who expected to "camp out" all the way from Indiana to Kansas, while I had to"rastle" with Greek verbs and other unneccessary afflictions. It was a mystery to me .how any sane person of mature years, no longer subject to the enervating influence of apron strings and like restraints, could settle down to the even tenor of a coun try business life with such dazzling possibilities in sight And yet there were persons who saw this glorious pageant— a genuine canvass-topped ship of the plains—start upon its way, and felt no quickening of the pnlse, no ewer ambition to go along. My only comfort lay in the thought that mv time would come some day. Much oi this gipsy-like feel ing has clung to me ever since, and as a consequence few summers pass without my taking a roughing trip of some kind. This summer it resulted in a drive through the countfy from Indianapolis to* Lake Maxinkuckee. With three companions, a two-horse team, tent, frying pan, guns, dog and other necessaries and luxuries, I was reminded of that dream of school-bfly days.

We early began to experience the trials of the emigrant Having hitched up, we started out in fine style to bid farewell to admiring and envious friends before heading toward the north. All went serenely Hntil we had reached the most conspicupoint of our circuit, when a balky

horse'attracted more attention than we desired. The center of a crowd, we became at once the object of much sarcasm and not a little advice. Not less than a dozen different devices, never before known to fail, were suggested^ put into practice by as tnany different persons. "Lead him," "Twist his tail," "Tie his tail to the single-tree," "Put sand in his ear," "Bub mud in his mouth," "Tie a string, tightly around his front leg*" "Throw stones at his head," "Whip him," "Get out and carry him." All of these plans, except the latter, were put into practice by their various advocates without success. Finally, one genius twisted a stout cord around the upper lip of the stubborn brute, and threw his weight on it In a moment we were dashing down Washington street with the discomfited horse pawing mildly at the cord, which still dangled at his lip. A train at a crossing necessitated a stop, which was prolonged by the balky horsa again declining to move on. Another crowd, more advice, some sympathy, much sarcasm. "Are you going fur?': Another genius to the front—backs the horses until they are dizzy and glad to go the other way. And this time we get back home and hold a council of war. As a consequence, we decide that we must secure a different variety of motive power. The balky horse is taken out of harness, properly thfashed by its disgusted owner and hitched to a buggy, where he works all right. A drive to a livery stable, a little rhetoric and a cash consideration added, result in an exchange for a beast who has no scruples against working, in double harness. Wednesday morning we were .actually on bur way. Good roads, fine weather and beautiful country made the trip pleasant. We passed'through Noblesville, Tipton, Kokomo, Bunker Hill, Peru and Rochester. At the. latter places we stopped at Lake Manitcia, which is within a mile of the town. We reached there on Saturday for&noon, and it was our intention to stop there over Sunday. Saturday night was the most solemn one of our trip. The mosquitoes of that lake are among the most voracious in the .state, and their enterprise is only surpassed by their numbers. Three or four times during that mournful night I.crawled out from under the miserable fraud of a net, and posed thoughtfully, if not prayerfully, on the shore of the lake. I had more room out there to hit, and was in hopes that the exercise would wear me out and I would be able to get so sound asleep that the blatant insects could not rouse me. No use, though. I just lingered along in that delightfui semi-comatose state that makes the victim dream of insane asylums and street dentists until I could stqnd it no longer. Then I would emerge from the tent and renew my observations on and of the scenery. As I returned to my couch after one of -these cruises, one of the half-awake inmates mistook me for Bowser, and it took a lengthy and embarrassing discourse on my part to convince him that I was a biped and not a quadrupeJ. Regard for Sabbath was the only thing that constrained us from moving on our way next morning, and as night drew on and the orchestraiegan to tune up again, we laid aside our scruples— those of us who had any—and silently stole away. We drove until we reached high land, and then tumbled out by the roadside and slept under the wagon, without the formality of putting up our tent Hogs got into our potato sack about dawn, and as it formed part of my bed, I was under the painful necessity of arising to preserve the peace and pieces. We reached Maxinkuckee in due time, striking the lake in the hospitable vicinity of Hilarity Hill, near which we pitched our tent.

When we left Indianapolis we were prudent enough have no definite destination in view. We simply proposed to drive north until we wefe tired or until we struck some locality where we felt we could rusticate comfortably for a time. We found the latter right here at Lake Maxinkuckee. We Were on a bank thirty or forty feet above the water, a pleasant breeze was' blowing from the lake, and we had abundant assurances from other campers that there were no mosquitoes. This last argument settled the matter. We pitched our tent, erected a rustic table, and prepared for permanent residence for a few weeks. We have had no reason to repent of this decision. So carried away was

by the beauty and

she had brought three large tents and people enough to fill them slL My apparel became the immediate subject of conversation and criticism. A grease-spot in the center of my flannel shirt was espec ially commented on, and anxious inquiries were made by beings in Swiss muslin as to whether t£at was the prevailing style of polka dot at the lake. I gradually hardened under the remarks and impassively ferried the clamorous crowd ashore. Having selected a suitable spot for the tents and erected them, I was informed that I was expected to remove to the new encampment in the capacity of patriarch. It was my day to cook at Camp No. 1, a%d of course I could not

ink ell deserting at once, hut as soon as culinary duties were completed I assumed my position referred to above at

the big camp. I wu.now xeferred to upon questions of propriety, upon the safety of uie lake, the state of the weather, etr., and found myself overburdened, in a general way, by a sense of responsibility. A neglect to provide bathing suits occasioned much invention upon the part of the new arrivals, but a cruise along the shore in a skiff enabled them to acquiie information from other mermaids that led to the adoption of miscellaneous and variegated but eminently proper regalia, and from that titne on the placid waters of (he lake were disturbed by the wild and unskillful thrashing of inexperienced but ambitions swimmers.

Directly across the lake from our camp was «the outlet, and several expeditions were made across there and to Lost Lake, a little further on, in search of water lillies. One day the party making this trip were met on their return to the big lake by a strong breeze and large waves. It was after dark before they got around to Marmount, from which point one of the bravest rowed across and bribed the little steamer to make just one more trip and bring them home. Meanwhile the Patriarich sat moodily in the gloom awaiting their return. He slept in the tent which held the provisions, and knew from sad experience that there would be a raid on the commissary department for grub before the surroundings would be conducive" to slumber. An hour devoted .to carousal on bread, butter, and cold bacon, a graphic but rather disjointed a£ount of the trip, and the voyagers separated for their different tents. One would think that sleep would soon ensue. But any Patriarch could assure you to the contrary. It takes an hour for good-nights and giggling after the curtain falls on such camp. The patriarch could have stood this if he had not known that the hogs would make their regular morning round about daybreak, and thus compel him to cut short his nap at both ends. His revenge lay in unchaining Tip,_ the canine of the big. camp, and allowing him -to rush around and lick the faces of the

is is the fiilest camping place in the

State of Indiana. The nigh banks, the

cold springs of water, the cool breezes, the convenience of the necessaries of life, groceries, vegetables, etc., delivered at the door and at reasonably prices. (I bought nine and a half pounds of fresh country butter at .ten cents a pouhd the day my duties as Patriarch be gan.) All of these things combine to mdke it a desirable place for out-door life. In addition there are the fishing, sailing and bathing facilities. Many pe: SOBS from Indianapolis and other cities have built cottages around the shore of the lake, and land is rising in price. The lowest price I heard of was $500 for strip with eighty feet lake front. A lady owning a strip with fifty feet front asked $7 a foot. Some value their property at $10. It is certain that this place will one day be the principal summer resort in the state, and I only regret that I did not buy some land there when I first heard of the place several years ago before the railroad was built to it

My camping comrades some days after my desertion (or promotion, just as you want to look at it) turned their faces homeward and I presume ere this have reached the city of concentric circles.

Texas Fever in Chicago.

CHICAGO, August 20.—A strange malady has broken out among cattle, particularly milch cows, in the neigh, borhood just north of the Union Stock yards and extending to the Bridgeport slaughter house, in the southwestern part of the city. The disease appears to be in all cases fatal. It is thought the afflicted cattle showed symptoms of Texas fever, When the spleen is examined after death it is found swollen to three times its natural size. The district in which the disease is confined contains many patches of open prairie, upon which cows graze in herds. Texas cattle are frequently driven into Bridgeport through this district, and it is believed that the disease was caught from these passing herds.

Howling Democrats.

"It is a remarkable thing," said a polit ical independent, says the Indianapolis Times, "that nearly every appointment made by President Cleveland is immedi ately followed by a howl of rage and disappointment by the democrats, and that they immediately go to work looking up his record, and prove him either a horse thief or some other kind of a scoundrel And it extends down to the appointments made by sub-appointing power. For in stance, Postmaster Jones' appointments have'stirred up the animals terribly."
