Washington Special. The following story is being told to illustrate the depths of the umnanliness to which the department drudge may sink: A man celled upon tho head of one of the government bureau* the other day and introduced himself as the husband of one of ti e lady employes. He explained that he had just been discharged from his position in another and pertinent, and he .attributed this mainly to the fact, that it was known that his wife was in government employment. He then went on to suggest that his wife be discharg ed, and her place tie given to him. “The money is ir, the family, is it not?” asked the official. “What difference does it make to whom it is paid?” “Yes,” replied the visitor, “but she don’t give me anv for myself.” “Your wife provides bread and clothing for you and the children, and she is a good wife is sho not?” continued the official. “Oh. yes; I have no fault to find with her on that account, bnt I want to be the head of the house, and when she gets the money she is the head.” “Ii occurs to me.” observed the official with undisguised contempt, "that if my wife was supporting herself and the family that I would turn in and earn my own living.” “Rut I can’t earn my living,’’ was the helpless response; “I don't, know how.” He went on to urge that his request be granted, bathe was told that even if there v.as no other objection to the transfer, it would be rontrary to law. Arranging Her Bangs in the White House. Washington .Special. It was Ohio day at the White House to-day, the greater part of tho callers on the President Doing citizens of the Ruckeve State. Among them were two young ladies, one of them the laughter of a prominent army officer. The latter treated a mild sensation in rather a novel way. •die arrived at the White House probably fifteen minutes before the President was ready to come town to the East Room to receive his callers. Bho was provided with a seat in the main vestibule. As soon as it was atinouncod the President was in the East Room, she began to prepare herself for the call. She first arranged her dress, then snook out the ribbons of her hat. Her next move was to draw out from her pocket a ptilT. and w ith a supply of fleur de riz she com pleted her toilet by powdering her sac e. There was no mirror handy, but her companion supervised the job. After entering the East Room she made a straight march for one of the large minors in a corner of the room, where, unobserved, except by a few, she brushed off tho su perlluous powder. By this time the greater part of the crowd had passed the President. Then putting on the pleasantest kind of a smile, she approached the President with a confident air and shook his hand. The whole proceeding was noticed by a few of the regulars who are in the East Room whenever a reception is held.

Mr. Phelps's Critic*. Washington Special. Among Democrats of Irish birth there is a, lurking suspicion that they have not gained much by tho exchange of Mr. Phelps for Mr. Lowell as minister to England. Much unfavorable comment lias been heard in consequence of the attendance of the American minister upon tho ceremonies of extending the freedom of the city of London to Prince Albert Victor, son of the Prince of Wales. Democrats here of the “Richelieu” Robinson stripe are very much dis gusted with Mr. Phelps for this little act of courtesy ho paid the family of their heir to the English throne, and it is chaiged that lie is even more of an "aristocrat” than his predecessor, Mr. Lowell. Tho New Orleans Collectorsbip. Washington Special. The appointment of ex-Seqator Jona* as col. lector of the port of New Orleans will prove the last straw to break the backs of the faction headed by Senator Eustis in Louisiana. It was tho fear that this nomination would be made that started the opposition, and now that it has been made the war will break out afresh. Sena tor Eustis will certainly endeavor to prevent tho confirmation of Jonas, but he is not likely to have any support from either Democrats or Republican. General anti Personal.

Serious Fire at LaPorte—PiaasrreemMt of the Jury in the Loucks-Louthain Case — Sunday Observance in Shelbyville. INDIANA. Fire at LaPorte—Throe Buildings and Tlieir Contents Badly Damaged. LaPokte, July 4. —About 7:30 o’clock this evening fire was discovered in the three story brick building on Main street, owned by Mrs. E. M. Irvine. The first floor is occupied by E. B. Bartlett's drug store, the second floor by the Postal Telegraph Company, and the third floor by Bryant's photograph gallery. The fire broke out in the cellar, but its origin is unknown, as the store had been closed since noon. Owing to the dense smoke, it was impossible to reacli the fire untii it burned its way up through the elevator, and it was some two hours before it was brought under control. D. (JL Decker occupied tho building adj ining on the one side with a crockert' store, and J. C. Scarce, dealer in millinery and fancy goods, on the other, both of whieh are slightly damaged, but are fully insured. The loss on the building cannot be estimated tonight, but it is insured for $2,000 in the Phemx, of Brooklyn, and $2,300 in the Royal, of Liverpool. E. B. Bartlett’s loss is about SB,OOO, with an insurance of $2,300 in the I’henix. of Brooklyn; $1,500 in the Fire Association, of Philadelphia; $1,500 in the London and Lancashire, of Liverpool, and $2,000 in the Western, of Toronto.

Gregory, who came here from Louisville. Ky., on Sunday, the 28th inst., to reply to the charge of embezzling moneys belonging to the Daily Express, preferred by George ii. Allen, returned to his home to-day, all differences having been adjusted to tho satisfaction ,of both parties. The whole affair was the outgrowth of a misunderstanding concerning the business results of Mr. Gregory’s services as traveling agent- for the Express, and w r hen all the facts and figures wero collated, a settlement was soon effected. The whole amount charged against, him was small and was made up of small amounts collected on the road, hotel bills and $D of borrowed money from parties at Greencastle and Bloomington. Leaving the employ of the Express after a service of two weeks Mr. Gregory went to Louisville and resumed his profession—that, of reporting. lie made no endeavor to hide himself and was ignorant of all complaints against him until arrested in Louisville. Though he was acquitted by tho court of Louisville, yet he lost no time in returning here, not waiting for o requisition and arrest, and here ho remained, released on bis own recognizance, until the difficulty was righted. The statement published that ho made anyconfession whatever to Officer Dwyer in the presence of a Louisville policeman is wholly false, as Mr. Dwyer will affirm. His position at Louisville has been kept open for him. Mr. Gregory has many friends and admirers among newspaper men of Indiana who will be glad to hear of him being e xoner ated from all criminality in the matter and wish him the success which his talent deserves.

Bloomington Special. A monument in memory of Marie Litta was unveiled here on Saturday. The monument is certainly one of the most beautiful and attractive in the country. The material is of the best, while the design is both artistic and appropriate. The shaft stands nineteen feet and five inches high, and is built in five separate sections, all of the finest Barre, Vt. granite. The base is nine feet square, and is mounted on a solid stone foundation seven feet square and nine feet deep, laid in solid masonry with stone and Portland cement. On the. middle section of the base are inscribed the words “Marie Litta." Upon the upper section of the base, which is somewhat smaller than the lower is cut with artistic elegance a book representing her chosen profession. On one leaf of the book are musical notes rep resenting simple music, indicating the first music sung by the lamented songstress, and on the other leaf is more diffi cult classical music, emblematic of her success. The next section is the shaft, and on the polished shields of the die are the priori pal inscriptions and lettering. The four sides face to the respective compass directions, and the following inscriptions have been placed upon them. On the south side on ihe level just below the die is the music book above referred to, and on the lower portion of the pedestal is the monogram “M. L,” and on the upper portion, ihe treble clef, surrounded by a beautiful laurel wreath, representing victory in music. (Surmounting the whole is an exquisitely draped urn, six feet in height, representing eternal life. On the south side of the shield is the following inscription: “Marie Eugenia von Eisner was born in Bloomington, 111., June 1. 1856, and died July 7, 1883. tShe was known to the musicial world as Marie Litta.” On the west side and facing the entrance are these woids: “This monument was erected by the citizens of Bloomington to the memory of Marie Eug nia Von Eisner, who won fame for herselt. and reflected it on the city of her birth.” On the north shield are the following words! “Her sun rose through clouds in the morning, and was eclipsed nt. noon. By a life laborious and heroic, her girlhood witnessed the triumph of her genius. Welcomed to the ranks of the greatest artists of her time, she was loved most for her pure and gentle Lie, and so loving hands weave roses with tho laurel in her chaplet of fame.” Following this inscription are her words, on the east side: “A flower is dead. A star has fallen. A bird, singing the richest and rarest melody, has gone forever from the groves of time. A woman, splendid and heroic in all the better qualities of life, has closed her eyes in death, and the voice which caught the highest symphonies in nature lias joined in the chorus of the infinite. Os every tear that sorrowing mortals .‘-bed on such green graves some good is born, some gentler nature comes.”

CHICAGO’S RIOTOUS CARMEN. The Street-Car Company Declines Arbitration and Demands Protection. Proclamation from Mayor Harrison—lncendiary Utterances of Socialist Orators — Trouble Expected at Cleveland. CmcAGO, July s.—The mayor, in a proclamation issued to-night for publication in to-morrow's papers, gives notice that as the West Division Street Railway Company has notified him of its intention to run its cars on Monday, in accordance with its charter, for the sake of peace and the good name of Chicago, the people must refrain from congregating on the streets where the cars are run, until all excitement shall have subsided, and must move on when requested to do so by the police. The police are notified in the proclamation that they must protect the property of the street-car company at all hazards. The document ends with an earnest appeal to the citizens to help uphold the good name of Chicago. About one hundred police have been detailed to look out for the company’s rights in the morning, and it is understood that the first car will start from the barns at 6 o'clock. The latest report from the meeting of the strikers, now in progress, is to the effect that they propose to stand by their acts of Saturday, namely, a w illingness to arbitrate. To-day, at the regular Sunday meeting of tho Socialists, on the lake front, the burden of each speaker’s eloquence was the crowd. The crowd was very large, and the utterances unusually sanguinary. Second on the list of orators was John Henry. He said that lie felt tho time had come for all Socialists and others who hated law and order to rise, and burn, and kill. “How many of you have guns and pistols?” he demanded, fiercely. “I have,” “ADd I,” were answers from all parts of the crowd. “Then get them ready,” he resumed, with an effort toward deadly significance. “In a few days, perhaps tomorrow, we may want to use them.” The speaker pointed out how himself and his hearers could march down the boulevards, the highways of the purse proud and aristocratic, and sweep them from the face of the earth. He concluded bv naming prom inent citizens and capitalists as enemies of mankind, and, with other speakers of the oc casion, condemned the strikers on account of tlieir leniency with their oppressors. The strikers had learned of the company’3 refusal to arbitrate, and seemed generally, as they discussed the matter during the day. to anticipate struggles in the future to winch that of Friday would be insignificant by comparison. There was no talk of backing down, and yet no boisterous threats were indulged in. Few had any doubts that tiie company, aided by the police, would put cars on the track Monday morning. A meeting was called for to night, but at 9 o'clock no decisive programme had beeu agreed on. The Situation at Cleveland. Cleveland. July 5. All was quiet to-day in the Eighteenth ward, the scene of the Cleveland rolling mill strike.

It, is feared that if the managers refuse to treat with the men, there will be serious trouble.

AN INSULT TO THE NATION. Mormon Leaders Order the National Flag Hoisted at Half-Mast on Independence Day. [From Ovr Second Edition of Yester day. J Salt Lake, July 4. —When the sun rose this morning the national flat: hung at half mast on the City llall, the county court-house,t'ne Deseret News office, the Mormon Tabernacle, the Church Tithing office, John Taylor’s residence, the Mornian Church offices, and the Salt Lake Theater. That on the iast named building was put at full mast as soon as W. Rositer, the present man agersaw it, butthose on the other buildings hung limp and dejectedly against their masts. No one could be found to explain the reason. About noon the committee, composed of United States Marshal Ireland, C. L. Haines, Major Wilkes, and Captain Evans, (the last two named ex-con" federates) went to the City Hall to finl out the reason. City Marshal Phillips said it was the result of a personal whim. The committee demanded that the flag be raised to full mast, which demand was met with a refusal, whereupon Captain Evans jumped up aud started out to raise it himself. The door was shut and locked by the policeman before he reached it. All present, including a dozen of police officers, made a rush for Evans. Constable Charles Crow raised his club to strike, and drew his pistol, and the other officers reached for their guns. Quiet was restored by the United States marshal, and the conference went on. The city officials said the Fourth of July was a day of mourning to them and “this people,” whose best men were in the penitentiary by virtue of federal official action perversive of all principles of law and liberty; that the flag over the City Hall did not belong to any ring of so-called loyal Americans, and intimated that any man who undertook to disturb the flag at h&if-mast would be shot. Trie officers and the committee of citizens then went into the street, where a small crowd had gathered, numbers of whom wanted to raise the flag at all hazards, but they were warned by the police not to attempt it on pain of being “dropped.” In a private consultation with United States Mar shal Ireland, the city marshal consented either to raise it to full mast or take it down within thirty minutes. In the meantime Constable Crow had mustered un a small squad to “clean the mnb out.” The city marshal consulted with Mayor Sharp, who was attending a Mormon priesthood meeting. In less than thirty minutes the flag was run down amid the jeers and sneers of the city officials. The (J. A. R Post, which was celebrating near tho city, was informed ot the difficulty, and came in, after passing resolutions to run the flags to their proper places. They met a crowd of angry citizens at the Walker House. The crowd wanted to go and. by force, put the flags where they belonged, but the counsel of Governor Murray prevailed. Finally, a committee of live was sent to demand of the mayor that it should be done, and a few minutes later the flag at the City Hall was run up to the tnast head. The citizens’ committee made a demand onSheriff Groesbeck, and hoisted the flag at the county court, house from half to full mast, without demurrer. The flag on the co-operative store was also run from half to full mast at about G o’clock this evening, but the others hung out in defiance till sun down, and are yet at half tnast. All who are immediately responsible for this treasonable piece of business disclaim knowing anything about it. but it has leaked out that the order to thus insult the Nation at large and the government of Utah came direct from the head ot the church. Rig I tear Captured. Winnipeg, Manitoba, July s.—ltig Bear was captured on Friday morning, near Carlton, by Seargeant Smart, of the mounted police. His son ami one of his counselors were taken at the same time. Big Bear said his band were on their way to Carlton to surrender.

GRANT FEELS STRONGER, And Writes a Note to the Effect that ne Is Not as Weak as ne Was on Saturday. Mt. McGregor. July 5. —When he sat down at the breakfast table this morning, Dr. Douglas said he had enjoyed a night of better rest than in a long time, and added, humorously, that General Grant had also slept and rested unusually well. The physician had not been aroused, and the fact as well as the implication, was that the patient had been so quiet that he did not need attention. Through the twelve hours ending at, 8 o’clock this morning, General Grant had slept fully eight or nine hours. Then he took food ar.d was treated ly the Doctor, but lie was not dressed, and dozed on at intervals -through the forenoon. The sick man was feeling weak on Saturday, though his weakness was not occasioned by the disease, but was incident to other causes. This morning he felt stronger, as was indicated in a note he wrote for Dr. Douglas, between 10 and 11 o’clock. “I think lam not as weak as I was this time yesterday," ran the communication The patient was also in better spirits this fore noon. The last week’s work on the book had so en ded that the General felt much relief as to its pressure. The abatement of the patient’s anxiety over these details is also a source of relief to his physician, who feels that, while a healthy engagement of tho General’s mind is to be desired, any source of harassing anxiety is to be deplored. This morning the physician found the patient's pulse stronger than yesterday. and the condition of the throat was so irn proved that the examination of the affected parts was easier and more thorough. The electric light instrument could be presented nearer the base of the tongue. Comparatively, the voice was fair, though quite husky. Soon after midday, General Grant donned his clothing, and after being comfortably fixed in his chair on the piazza, devoted more than an hour to reading the Sunday papers, while ilie family and Senator Chaffee, were grouped near, chatting eheerf ullv. At II o’clock Dr. Douglas again treated tho General’s throat and administered three min irns more of morphine, after which the patient was composed for the nisrht. The Doctor believed the General would have a quiet night

It is stated that the Queen will confer the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath upon General Sir Peter Lumsden. and that this act of favor is upon her own initiative. It will inevitably be interpreted as a studied insult to Mr. Gladstone. The Mikado of Japan ha* bestowed the ribbon of the third class on D. W. Stevens, who, for many years, was first secretary of the United States legation to Japan. Later he was secretary of the Japanese legation at Washington.

July s.—While a small party of tolegraph operators were standing on the corner of Fourth and Pine streets, just before 2 o’clock this morning, Albert K. Tong, an operator in the Bankers’ atd Merchant's office, got into an altercation with Wm.

Tong was picked up by his companions, but ho was found to be dead, and bis body was taken to the dispensary. All the party had been drinking.

whether it was the fall on the granite pavement, is not yet known. Kaiser escaped, ami has not been arrested. William Kaiser, the man who assaulted and is believed to have killed Aimer E. Tong, tlie telegraph operator, about 2 o’clock this morning, surrendered to the police sergeant at the Fairgrounds Station about 10 o'clock to night. It is not known yet what version of the affair he gives. THE PRESIDENT'S COURSE. A Rebuke to Political it uy bodies Who Misinterpret His Motives, Washington Special to New York Times. Those political busybodies in New York State or any other State who are going about assuming to speak by authority, and saying that the President or his Secretaries are exercising or directing power for the purpose of controlling the fall elections can be set down at once as pretenders. Talk of this sort comes to Washington from various parts of New York State, and soma of the President’s visitors, who have been leu to believe that he is really concerning himself about the fall campaign and distributing patronage with an eye to its possible results, have gone to the W hite House to ask him who he “is for” for Governor, and what should be douo to pro mote any plan that he might have for the Democratic party. To all such inquiries, and to all suggestions made with the idea of obtaining replies from the President that will be guiding, he has made the same general answer. He is a Democrat As a Democrat it would be extremely gratifying to him to see the party to which he is attached victorious in the State election. But he is President, and he is pledged to devote himself to the discharge of his duties to the whole country, and those duties are more than sufficient to occupy his time. To the task of filling the office* iu New York, where vacancies occur by expiration of terms, and where removals are deemed necessary in the interest of good government, he devotes such small show of his time as ho can afford to give. His greatest aspiration is to bo able to help the country, iu so' far as it is in his power to help it, to have good government. Ho has no candidate for Governor, aud will have none. It would, of course, be gratifying to hi n to see the Democrats nominate a man who would b * known at once as the representative of sound political aims and methods. With such a candidate he would feel lhat the party would have no aeason to fear an adverse result. It has not escaped the observation of tho President that something like reproach lias been directed toward him for the appointment of Mr. Hedden as collector of New York. He expects that Mr. Iledden’s course as collector will win praise from the harshest critics of the appointment and be a sufficient proof that it was not made with the purpose or expectation that tho custom-house is to bo converted into a political machine for the advancement of any party man or party faction. “Mr. Hedden was selected,” he has said “as an intelligent business man. to conduct a business office. If lie fails to so conduct it, he will be removed.” The declaration as to the collector holds good as to the surveyor. Both officers are as much a part, of the administration as is a member of tho Cabinet, and refusal or failure on the part of either to comprehend or act in harmony with the general aim or policy of the administration would be ground for a demand to resign. The President is aware that no matter how directly he may pursue his avowed course it will be impossible to avoid somo dissatisfaction among politicians of his own party faith. In the canvass preliminary to the State convention it may bo that the dissatisfaction will bo seeu in the usual divisions. No human being will be able to prevent, perhaps, tho appearance of a body friendly to the administration and another which may choose to call itself an “anti-adminis-tration” taction. Thus far. in all that has been done, the President is not conscious that any step has been taken that was not regarded wise for the people of the State and the cause of good government. The President is not less firm now than ho was when he took the oath of office in his fidelity to civil service reform. To those sharp-sighted men of his own party who have forgotten his declarations and the fact that they are the property of the public, and who have timidly suggested that he could safely relax his course slightly, he has spoken in unmistakable and vigorous Anglo-Saxon, reasserting his determination to justify his strongest promises. He lias all that he can do, and more than he can do with satisfaction to himseif, in the time at his command, to attend to tho President’s business. He does not believe that it is any part ot the President's business to meddle with the conventions of his State. His Cabinet officers are all as busy as he, and none are more fully occupied that the two Secretaries who caruq, from tne State of New York. They are not men who will deliberately hold the administration up to ridicule by pursuing a course at variance with that chosen by tho President, Whatever of credit the President can win for tho Democratic party by adhering to what he regards as a sound course, it will be his aim to secure. Beyond doing that and voting the Democratic ticket, ho cannot be expected to help the Democrats of his State to win the election in November.

Feeding Ilis Steer on Wild Oats. Bainbririge (Ga.) Democrat. A drunken countryman, who frequently brings various articles of produce to town for sale —ana selling them, puts the proceeds in his pockets, gets on a ‘‘howl,” and never leaves town as long as it lasts—was in town last week with a load of oats. Knowing his weakness, Marshal Swart attemted to warn him, and the following colloquy ensued: ‘‘Yes,” said the Marshal, “and you are drunk again. The last time you got drunk you never stopped 'till you had stowed away a whole beef steer under vour sbirt, in whisky, and you now intend to follow that with your loid of oats. You better go home!” “O! well,” hiccoughed the countryman, “you know that steer’ll (hie) want some oats anyhow, and you belch er-life (hie) he’ll get ’em.” And he did. Tho Correct Expression. New York Mail and Express. If you are very much overheated it is no longer the correct thing to say you “perspire,’' but “transpire” freely, and if you hear a young lady make use of the word “transpire” when sue means “perspire,” you can be sure.that she has either a brother or an admirer who is a student at Yale College, for there tho expression emanated. Item for Fred Douglass, New Orleans Southwestern I'hrmtian Advocate. The white race is, we believe, already beginning to decay. It has reached its majority and the sign* of dotage are beginning to appear. Our young and vigorous race should avoid amalgamation with it. Among the more fastidious people there is an impression that the flavor of tea is wholly mined by a journey on salt water. All the crowned beads and wealthy nobility of Europe use tea, therefore, which costs them three times the price paid in America for a brand bearing the same name, but which is brought by Russian traders in caravans overland from China. The trade is very profitable, and it is largely to protect it that Russia is so jealous of her Asiatic possessioiis. “For economy and comfort, we use Hood’s Sarsaparilla,” writes an intelligent Buffalo, N, Y., lady. 100 doses one dollar.
