Army post in Wisconsin will bold tneetlnr to "protest against the action of th War Depart

ment. What General Beanett Thinks. Special to th Indianapolis Journal. Richmond. Ind.. June 16. A cage of tbs Journal could be filled with the inflamed speech of some and the dispassionate condemnation of others concerning the uncalled-for act of tbe President In ordering tbe return of tbe rebel flaps to tbe Sontb, which still paaseth all nnderstanding, no one being able to attribute it to a jen Bible motive. But the following samples will anffiee: General T. W. Bennett said: "I think it is the. greatest outrage perpetrated upon tbe veteran toldiers and tbe loyal people of the country since the firing upon Fort Sumter. And it is all the more infamous because its authors, tbe Presiient and Secretary of War, gave neither aid nor v moat by to ths Lnion cause during tbe ar. If it was intended to racificate te tonntfv it will Drove a dismal fail ure, for it will arouse the North to a pitch of excitement which the authors of the entrap can searcelr imaeine. and tbe Tehela of the Sonth will elorifv acain the lost tacae' in everv Southern capital. I only hope the brave rebel soldiers themselves will repudi ate the infamy. If tbe flags are to be sent oacls. wbr not wIds oat all constitutional amendments. repeal all reconstruction laws, place the negroes back into slavery and acknowledge we irere wrong and tbe rebels were right. I indorse Tolly the brave and indignant words of General Fairchild. I intend to introduce resolutions tcf light in our own post, and do my part in making t 'hotter than a lime-kiln' from this on. The 5act is I am mad as , and it grows on me." Indignation to Kansas. Tope k A, Ran., June 16. Much indignation is exorcised here over the return of confederate lags to their respective States. A large num"ber of O. A. B. teen called upon Governor Martin to-day, who at noon sent tbe following tele gram to President Cleveland: In tbe name of one hnnered thousand citizens of Carina who served in the rank of the Lnion Army oritur the war. and in behalf of all the loyal people f thi State, I enter an indignant protest againxt the return of tbe confederate nags captured in natue Dy the soldiers of the Republic. 1 protest apainst such action as an insult to the heroic dead, and an ontrajre en their surviving comrade. The government accepted the custody of these flairs, placed in its chat-Re by the patriotic soldiers of the Union, as a sacred trust, nd I protest that neither the President of the United ptate nor any other officer of the government has authority, moral or lesraU to surrender tnetn. JOH.t A. Martin, Governor of Kansas. General Fairchild Indorsed. Springfield, I1L, June 16. The following letter was forwarded to General Fairchild toy. Spbi.ngfield, Til., June 16, 1837. Gen. I-ticlus Tairehlld. Commander-in-chief O. A. K., Madison, Wls.i Ptephenson Post, with 430 members, indorses yonr position on the return or tne rebel battle-nags, as ' commander of the post I ask you to call the conncil of administration together and change the place of i meeting of the twenty-first annual encampment to some city in a loyal tjtnte where no super-serviceable "committee of citizens" will invite Grovr Cleveland B. B. Hoovib, Commander. Adjutant. Treason Is and AInst Continue Odious. Lincoln, Neb,, Jane 16. Governor Thayer to-day sect a telegram to President Cleveland protesting against the return of rebel flags. ' In his message he says: ''In that struggle (tbe late war) we were right and they were wrong. -To return these emblems of treason would be to reverse this sacred truth, and tbe next humiliation would be for us to apologize for having captured and retained them so long. The lessons of tbe late war must not and will not be reversed. The people are indignant at this proposed return of flags, and re-declare, with united voices and em phasis, that treason must be forever odious." Illinois Objects. Springfield, I1L, June 16. Representatives of about thirty Grand Army of the Republic posts of Illinois met at tbe State-bouse and adopted resolutions protesting in vigorous lan guage against tbe return of captured confederate flaes to the original possessors, as contemplated in the order recently announced by the War De partment of the United States, and asking Gov ernor Oglesby to telegraph to President Cleveland an earnest protest against the action, and a request for such action as may be neeessary to preserve and protect for Illinois soldiers the flags and trophies captured by them in the war. A Pointed Resolution. New York, June 16. Winchester Post, 197, G. A R., mat to-night in Brooklyn and passed a series of heated resolutions denouncing the offer to return to tbe several States the captured bat tle-flags. A copy of tbe resolutions was ordered forwarded to the President. One of tbe resolu tions reads as follows: Resolved. That in the opinion of thi post, the officials of the War Department, in advising this unwarranted action, have proven themselves unsoldierly. unpatriotic and unfit to wear the uniform of their government. Trie Sanaa Story Everywhere. New York, June 16. Resolutions denouncing .the proposed return of the confederate flags were adopted to-day by G. A. R. posts at Wor cester, Mat..; Denver, Col.; San Francisco, Plainfield, N. J., and many other places. The matter was a subject of general conversation in this citv, and opinions seemed to be about equally divided as to tbe wisdom of tbe measure. The Rebel Flags. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal. What do tbe ex confederates want with the flags captured by tbe Union soldiers? What de sire is it that President Cleveland wants to grati fy so much as leads him to trample a law of Congress under his feet to gratify? Each of tbe flags represent so much of $5,000,000,000 tbe rebel South cost tbe country in war, and so much of tbe million lives lost by their war on the Union. if they are now loyal to the true flag, can there be any desire to look noon the emblem of treason to 'tt It might be reasonable for England to ask for a return of the fines captured by our colonial army, for tbe English flag represents a government still intact. But what do tbe rebel flags represent? If a people are re pentant, loyal and true they will not desire to perpetuate before their eyes the emblem of their own treason, any more than a man convicted of felony weuld desire to bang in bis par lor tbe court record of bis own infamv. No, there is another interpretation. There is balf-suppressed pride of the Southern people in tbe part they took in the war, and the fact is outbreaking in this demand for their battleflags. A few years ago a demand was made for a nag In onr Mate library tnat bad been captured by an Indiana regiment from a rebel battalion. Several times requests were made here and there for the use of these Gags in the South for local celebrations. But it remained for a general demand to be made for til of them under the first Democratio administration, twenty-five years after tbe war, and for lhat administration to ride over a law of ConTress to grant tbe demand. At one end of the jinn is a bold, growing desire to glorify, nd sanctify, and perpetuate as noble the most wanton and infernal crusade against free government and human right, and at tbe lher a miserable demagogue, who would yield to any national humiliation that would yield him the "solid South'' in tbe next national Demoeratio convention. As for Cleveland, the cods have made him mad, and there remains certain and overwhelming defeat for the party which, for selfish reasbns, be seeks to plunge into new debauchery. , What Seven Soldiers Think. To the Editor nf the Indianapolis Journal! It is understood that Adjutant-general Drum baa made a requisition on Governor Gray for the return of the confederate flags now in the tustody of the State authorities to Washington, that tbey may be returned to those and their friends from whom they were captured, and that this authority comes from the President of tbe United States. This action would not be so bad if tbe President in return would request and require the States who are tbe recipients of these trophies to return to the donors the bones of Union rna'.med and slain now buried in their soil. They can get fine land and plenty of money, besides the Hastings and thanKa for such return, from the yet living aged father and mother. The remains of the dead are as valuable as the remains of tbe flags. The flags, while here. Indicate that something strange has happened. To obey such an order without sucb a request is to leave in doubt which aide of tbe question these high official are on. Signed by the following committee of Logans: William C.

THE CZAR CRAZED BY DRINK

An English Officer's Story of the Deplorable Condition of Russia's. Enler. Mr. Balfour Refuses to Consent to an Official Inquiry Concerning the Bodyke Evictions False Alarm Abont the Dynamiters. RUSSIA'S RULER. An English Officer Reports that the Czar Is a Hopeless and Dangerous Sot. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, June 16. A British officer who recently paid a visit to Russia tells a startling story of the mental and physical condition of the Czar, in accounting for the erratio foreign policy of Russia. Alexander III, he says, shortly after the assassination of his father, had reconrse to stimulants in order to nerve himself sufficiently to meet the real and imaginary dangers which beset him, and the habit rapidly became one of necessity rather than choice. From this point began what would have been, to a man in private life, his downward career, but the divinity that erects and maintains a well-kept and evergreen hedge around a sovereign also dulls tbe senses of his subjects to indifference as to whether he is a drunkard or not This, however, tbe Czar of Russia Is a hopeless and ofttimes a helpless sot. Among those nearest to him it is well known, bnt never mentioned except in whispers, that he has several times suffered from that most frightful of all species of insanity, delirium tremens, and, the narrator alleges, his cruelty to those who were so unfortunate as to come under his hand upon those occasions would have appealed to the finer sensibilities of the King of Dahomey, and caused that fiendish monarch to shed tears of compassion. In bis lucid intervals be is reasonable and even sagacious, but when under the influence of champagne or brandy, which two liquors most delight tbe imperial palate, not even his Ministers, and least of all his wife and children can restrain his tendency to imperil his personal safety by exposing himself to the attacks of secret foes in bis ungovernable recklessness. It is told of this imperial maniac that on one occasion M. De Giers was driven from the Czar's presence with language unfit to be heard in the lowest hannts of infamy, after having been summoned by his sovereign to report upon some matter affecting Russia's foreign policy, and that the Czar's conduct so out raged M. De Giers that be was only induced to retain his office at tbe esrnest entreaty of friends and upon the Czar's subsequent apology. Upon tbe slightest intimation of the details of such outbreaks, which are growing more and more frequent, it is the fashion to mention that this Minister or that court official is about to resign on tbe ground of ill-health, or for the purpose of acceptihg some other position, but to those acquainted with tbe true condition of the Czar's moral health, these reports invariably have tbe same significance, and bad one-third of the commands issued peremptorily by the Em peror when he was too drunk to know or care what b was doing, been carried out, Kussia would have long ago been at war with every power in Europe. liver since the accession or Alexander ill to the throne of Russia it has seemed quite safe to predict that he would ultimately meet death at the hands of tbe Nihilists, whose destroying power also created his own. This prediction may be fulfilled, but it seems vastly more likely that the Emperor will die by tbe hand of some outraged and infuriated member of bis own household or government if he does not soon suc ceed in forestalling that fate by joining his fath er through the medium of tbe bottle. THE BODYKE EVICTIONS. Mr. Balfour Will Not Consent to an Official Parliamentary Inquiry. London, June 16. On resumption of tbe de bate on the crimes bill, in the Commons, Mr. Dillon moved to adjourn, in order to call the at tention of the House to the Bodyke evictions. Tbe government, he said, bad refused to appoint a committee to inquire into the matter, and was, therefore, bound to demand an open discussion in Parliament. Tbe eviction of tbirty-five families disclosed features of tbe greatest harshness. Landlord Callagban, ever since he got possession of his estate, bad been raising rents without expending a shilling for improving the property. The result was that one of the most industrious sets of tenants in Ire.jnd had been ruined. It was on record that Call a -ghan, in refusing to abate rents, bad said he would have no greater compunction in putting a tenant out on the roadside than he would in shooting a bird. I Cries of "Shame. "1 The consensus of reports ot press correspondents and other witnesses of evictions were against the police. Tbe police acted brutally, making wanton attacks upon women and children. Seeing the public interest in the matter, government ought to grant a committee of inquiry, the same as after the Bel fast riots. Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, said there was no justice in comparing events at Bodyke with events in Belfast. lie asked why Mr. Dillon raised toe question at tne present time, when members knew the house must report tbe crimes bill on Friday, and pre cious hours were being wasted. He said it bad better be devoted to the crimes bill. Re garding the conduct of the police, no govern ment could accept mere newspaper reports as a basis for procedure, especially when such reports were highly colored. Cries "Oh," "Oh." and "Hear," 'Hear. " He had no knowledge of tbe details of tbe alleged police assaults. T. P. JJealy More shame for you. But. continued Mr. Balfour, considering the treatment tbe police received, it is not surprising that in some slight measure they ex ceeded their duty." Re would not say a word in support of evictions, which would not have oc curred if Callaghan had taken bis advice. Cries or "Hear," "Hear. J w nat really prevented tbe governnents amending tbis state of affairs was tbe action of those who interposed be tween the governments land bill end less, useless discussion over tbe crimes bill. Cheers from the Conservatives. The resistance to law at Bodyke was incited by persons who ought to have known better. He pro tested against tbe doctrine, growing daily in the minds of certain persons, that tbe proper way to amend law was to break it. Therefore be urged that tne best means to secure a remedy was to procure the legal amendment needed. John Bright Apologizes. London, JunelG. Mr. John Bright has writ ten to Mr. Gladstone an apology for inaccurate ly quoting his Swansea speech and accusing him of talking of Ireland "as if there was no province of Ulster," the fact being that Mr. Gladstone made long and distinct references to Ulster and its peculiar interest in tbe home-rule question. Mr. Bright says be made tbis "some what inaccurate quotation from memory. lie adds: "I still contend, however, that there is no hope in Mr. loadstone s promise to consider tbe case of the Ulster Protestants in his plan of settling the Irish question. Mr. Gladstone must know that any plan of dealing with tbe Protestants apart from tbe rest of the population of Ulster is lmoossioie. ine recent astounding revelations made by the Times must have increased the dread of Ulster to be subjected to 1'arnellite rule. ' une letter concludes as fol lows: "I grieve that I cannot act with you as in years past, but my engagements and conscience forbid it. If I have said a word that seems harsh or unfriendly, I will ask you to forgive it." GERMAN TRADE. The Stagnation of 1885 and the Marked Re vival that Followed In 1886. Washington, Jnne 16. United States Con sul-general Rain, at Berlin, has transmitted to the Department of State an exhaustive report upon tbe subject of German trade and manufacture. He notes tbe stagnation and decline of business occurring in 1SS5, and tbe revival of trade in 1S86, which he attributes to a brisk exportation that set in when large orders for metals, cotton, bemp, wool, silk and flax were sent in by tbe United States In consequence of tbe strike and labor disturbances then prevailing in this country. In 1886 the exports of the German empire to the United States amounted to 176,977,000, an increase of $16,619,000 over the exports of the previous year. In a resume of j bis report Consul-general Rain says: "Germany, encouraged by fifteen years of peace and forced 1

by its increasing population and the demands of tbe times, applies ail of its industrial levers, not only to hold its own, but if possible to excel its numerous competitors in tbe world's market. The dtsciplining forces of the government, more or less centralized, give every possible aid, and the twofold object of fostering industry and trade, and to augment the tax-paying ability of the nation, is clearly discernible. Still, it is feared that the uncontrollable spirit of competition neutralizes in many directions positive success, and while sales and exports make a tolerably fair showing, tbis is chiefly attributable to low wages and the consequent probability of underselling foreign competitors. I notice a feverish anxiety to produce cheap goods, and if much of the latter, notwithstanding our high tariff, can be sold in the United States with greater or smaller profits, it demonstrates tbe fact that German goods are in demand more on account of their cheapness than quality. Germany is more than ever dependent upon foreign markets for the disposal of its manufactures. "

GENKRAL FOREIGN NEWS. Opinions of High Medical Authorities on the Case of Frederick William. New Yoek, June 16. Dr. Morell Mackenzie, of London, has sent a cablegram to Dr. Geo. F. Sbrady, editor of the Medical Record, in which it is stated that the tumor in the throat of the Crown Prince of Germany is of a denBe, warty character, pachydermia verrucosa. Tbe most important statement, based on the authority of Professor "Virchow, is that no morbid products are discoverable by microscope in the sub-mucous tissues. Dr. Shrady says: "A prognosis, therefore, based upon the above examination, is to be regarded as most favorable. A growth presenting such characteristics possesses no elements of malignancy, and depending, as it may, upon various constitutional as well as local causes, is. as a rule, perfectly amenable to successful treatment." A Thin Dynamite Sensation. London. June 16. The Central News Agency makes the following announcement: "The Qneen has become alarmed by the reports that the police had discovered that dynamita plots had been arranged to be carried out during jubilee week. Tbe Home Office authorities were angry because tbe police disclosed information about the existence of the plots, and called upon them for an explanation. The police, as an excuse, said they made tbe matter known in order to deter desperadoes from carrying out any plots which they may have formed, but, acting under superior orders, they now declare that the only persons they have been watching are Casey and his followers, of whose movements they have kept themselves informed." Kidnaping: a Countess. Paris, June 10. The Figaro says a sensation has been caused in French high life by the successful kidnaping of a countess, recently divorced. The kidnapers wore masks, the Figaro says, and seized the countess as she was walking in tbe Boia de Boulogne. They eluded pursuit, and the present whereabouts of tbe lady, tho paper says, is unknown except to her captor?, who have managed to completely baffle their prisoner's friends, as well as the police. It has been ascertained that the kidnaped lady was Countess Campos, the divorced wife of the Due De la Torre, a snn of the late Marshal Serrano, of Spain. Tbe Spanish embassy have instituted an energetic search for the lady, but as yet have no clew to her whereabouts. Arrival of Mr. Blaine and Family. London, June 16. Mr. James G.

He will probably remain a few days at Southampton before proceeding to London. He positively refuses to disclose his prospective movements or the purpose or significance of bis visit. All of Mr. Blaine's family are well. The Pope Congratulates Victoria. Lonpon, June 16. W. U. Smith intimated in the Commons, this evening, that a letter from Cardinal Howard had been received by Lord Salisbury announcing that the Pope had sent an envoy to London to congratulate Qneen Victoria on her jubilee. Mr. Smith added that no law was required to enable the sovereign or the gov ernment ol r.neland to receive a diplomatic representative of tbe Vatican. The announcement was received with cheers.

London, June 16, Lawrence Donovan, the bridge-jumper, arrived at Clifton to-day, and intends, if be is able to elude the police, to jump from the parapet of the suspension bridge spanning tbe Avon at that place.

London, June 16. Advices from India say that 500 men of the garrison at Herat mutinied on tbe 9th instant. A short, sharp fight ensued, in which thirty loyal and fifty rebel troops were killed.

Steps were taken to promote the organization of a rival brick -layers' union, based on the National Builders' platform of principles. So far, only twenty-seven men have signified an intention to join the new union, but the master masons claim the number will swell to 500 by Saturday. Fifty non-union carpenters applied for employment at the Builders' Exchange to-day. Only a portion of them secured work. The Strike in thet'oke Region. Pittsburg, June 16.

This virtually settles the strike, as there are 4,000 Hungarians in the re gion, and tbe natives will be forced to follow or lose tbeir situations.

Hints for the Home. For lemon sherbet take one and a half pound loaf sugar, one quart water and nine lemons. Wipe the lemons clean and rub them with the lumps of sugar in order to extract the zest. Put the rubbed lumps with the rest of thesugar into the water and allow them to dissolve. Then cut all the lemons into halves, squeeze tbe juice into tbe sweetened water, strain and freeze the same way as ice-cream. For cream sherbet take one quart cream, three e ggs, one tablespoonful orange-flower water. and six ounces pulverized sugar. Take the yelks of tbe eggs, beat them and mix them with the cream, adding the orange-flower water. Put tbe mixture over a gentle hre, and as soon as it commences to thicken remove it, pour it out, and stir in the sugar. Then set it asid e, and, when cool, freeze the same as ice cream. Any housekeeper who wishes a reliable baking-powder can make her own and be sure that there is no adulteration by simply thoroughly mixing one part carbonate of soda (in bulk) with two parts of cream of tartar, with same quantity of flour to keep it from hardening. The secret of having good baking-powder is in having tbe ingredients good, keeping it secure from the air when mixed and not making too much at one time. A good rule is to sift the ingredients together seven times before putting it away, so tbat it is thoroughly mixed. Avery delicate Swiss salal dressing is simple and easily made. Pound in a mortar two ounces of cheese; add a tablespoonful of vinegar, a small quantity of sal: and pepper and very gradually dilute it with olive oil or butter. An English salad sauce which is (warmly commended speaks for itself. Pound in a mortar or mash with a spoon the hard-boiled yelk of an egg; mix with it a saltspoonfUjl of salt, a teaspoonful of mustard flour, a mashed mealy potato, two dessertspoonfuls each of cream and olive oil or butter and a tablespoonful of good vinegar. A French panada for aged people, invalids and children is extremely nourishing. Break a stale roll into a saucepan with sufficient water to cover it; stir well over tbe fire, allowing it to boil tive minutes, then add half a teaspoonful of salt and two ounces of fresh butter, mix them and take from the fire; have ia readiness one yelk of egg well beaten with two tablespoonful of milk, pour it into the panada, stirring very quickly for half a minute, then pour it into a bowl and serve: for bilious persons water is preferable to milk. The Caterer gives this method of making strawberry ice cream: Take tbe desired quantity of the best and richest cream, and to each pint of this allow one pound of the finest ripe strawberries and one pound ot pulverized sugar.

After hulling the strawberries cover them completely with a portion of the sugar (about a quarter), bruise them well with the back of a wooden spoon, and rob through a sieve. Now place tbe remainder of tbe sugar into a porcelainlined vessel, adding and stirring in one wellbeaten egg for each quart of cream. Then stir in the cream and place on the fire, stirring constantly till about to boil, wben remove, place in a porcelain-lined pan and allow to cool. Now take the strained juice of the strawberries, add to it a little lemon juice, and stir this into the cream when it is entirely eold. being careful to mix them thoroughly, and freeze at once. To make a pretty pincushion take an ordinary wooden placque about the size of a coffee saucer; make four tiny bags of different colored satin; one black, one oranga, one red and one blue is a pretty combination, but they may be made of anything one happens to have; tbey should measure about five inches in length and six in width that is, three when sewed together; fringe ont the top, fill with bran and tie with narrow ribbon, leaving short ends to tbe bows; tie the orange and black bags with dark red ribbon, the blue with pale pink, and the red with olive; tbe more colors tbe brighter and prettier the cushion; on one bag paint, with fancy letters, . "oats," on another "wheat," on the third "corn," and on the fourth "rye;" pile them carelessly together and fasten them to the placque with st rat en a, leaving a space on one side to paint

This is the malt That lav in tne house. That Jack built. FACTS AND FANCIES. Lowell Courier: Senator-elect Pasco, of Florida, served as a private in tbe confederate army. All tbe officers have been elected. It has been rumored that the President has been buying suburban property near Washing ton lor speculative purposes. A prominent contractor says tbat he has been asked to send in estimates for the construction of a house on a large tract of land owned by the President near Oak View, and that Mr. Cleveland's purpose is to sell the new building as soon as it is com pleted. The bard cheek of the Canadian mechanics ot Windsor, Ontario, who earn their money across the river in Detroit and spend it in their own country, is more than matched by some residents at Fort Erie, which is just across the Niagara river from Buffalo. These residents of tbe Dominion actually had the audacity, a few years ago, to send their children to tbe Buffalo public schools. The shrewdest tramp of the times has just turned up in New York State. A ragged, lame and dirty fellow visited tbe stores in succession and begged a cake of soap. The purpose was so apparent that he was rarely refused. After putting in a day solid at this he held an auction at night and disposed of his day's plunder, which was large. The result was a neat sum, enough to Keep him in luxuries for some time. Prof. Carl Meyer, who made abalioon ascen sion at Erie the other day. attained an altitude of more than 13,000 feet without suffering any inconvenience whatever. At tbat height he says: "My pulse stood at seventy-two, and my . respiration was twenty a minute, or about twice faster than ordinary, but I felt first-rate and the air seemed oracing and exhilarating. Tbe ther mometer registered sixty-two degrees." James H. Macdonald, the new Lieutenantgovernor of Michigan, has an income of $40,000 a year on an investment which cost him less than $350. When Captain Moore discovered tbe Colby mine in the great Gogebic iron range he sold a third interest to Macdonald for a few dollars. The land is now worked by a company which pays a royarty of forty cents a ton. The royalty for the present year amounts to $120,000, a third of which goes to Lieutenant-governor Mac donald. A music firm in Birmingham, England, were asked to send an organ to suit a pianoforte in a neighboring town where a concert was to take place. Tbey discovered that a telephone existed in tbe room where tbe piano was. Forthwith they asked that one of the notes of the piano should be struck. When this was done the sound could be distinctly heard in their warerooms, and by gradually reducing tbe pitch-pipe the tones of both instruments were made to cor respond. Dhuleep Sinoh, who is endeavoring to create a revolution among the Indian princes against the British government, is a short, dark complexioued man, with Asiatic features. He is a Christian and married an Egyptian girl from one of the mission schools in Cairo. He is a descendant of Rungeet Singh, one of the most remark able men in Indian history. Like bis ancestor. Dhuleep Singh is as able as he is dangerous. He believes that the Indians will absorb the English and that the island of Great Britain will be but a dependency of India. Jabez Hall, an aged and reputable planter, living near Mariana, Ark., advertised for a wife, and the answers were so numerous that be was at a loss how to choose. His gigantic intellect came to bis rescue, however. He gave each applicant a nnmber, and, writing tbe numbers on separate cards, put tbem in a box and shook them up well. Then he blindfolded bis little grandchild and had her draw a card from the box. He is now corresponding with the lady to whom tbe card had been allotted, and it is probable tbat a wedding will result. The drnm major at West Point is a symphony in color.

Dr. William Smalley the German physician and journalist who died the other day at Phila delphia, was the organizer in 1840 of tbe great celebration in that city of tbe tbe four hundredth anniversary of the invention of printing. On tbat occasion tbe Germans of Philadelphia pre sented to him a fine Bilk banner, to be returned to tbem by his descendants at the nextcentenary. in 1040. The Smalley family is a numerous one and will doubtless fulfill the agreement. Dr. Smalley also founded tbe prosperous town known as Egg Harbor City, in Atlantic county. New Jersey, and the town of Hermann, Mo., with German colonies. "Beer," said Bismarck, not long ago, in the Reichstag, 'is. comparatively speaking, the bev erage of a well-to-do class; but spirit is tbe drink of the famous 'poor man,' and spirit is thus a drink which the laborer cannot always dispense witb. Beer makes one lazy instead of exciting the nerves. It has, moreover, a drawback from the economic stand-point it is a tioie-killer. With us (jermans, perhaps nothing kills time so mucb as beer-drinking. Spirit has in no way this effect, and if yon let tbe workingman choose between wine, beer and spirit, he will reject wine. 1 bave never found tbat tbe laborer, when he fonnd bis work hard, refreshed himself with Bavarian beer. The poor man needs spirit. certainly to a moderate extent, but still a email quantity daily for nourishment. " An early friend of the Hon. Allen G. Thurman recalls that the Ohio statesman's father. Pleasant Thurman. was a carpenter of shiftless habits, but of a religious turn nf mind. Now and then be preached, and in old-fashioned Methodist "revivals'' he was a great sh outer. Allen was a slender, tow-headed boy, pale and delicate and quiet in habits. He was not noted for brilliancy, but was careful and industrious. Before be was admitted to the bar be was a saddler, and while working at that trade he met a Miss McArthur, daughter of a man of wealth and social rank. He asked the privilege of es corting her home from tbe gathering where they first met, but sbe ratner liauehtily refused him. not wishing toasHociate with "a mere mechanic." But she afterward changed her mind and became Mrs. Thurman. MARRIED SECRETLY, A Sensational Affair Involving: a Former Department Chief Clerk. Washington Special. A case of a somewhat sensational nature is about to be brougbt up in the courts here. A former chief clerk of one of the departments is involved. For the past twelve or fifteen years he has been a member of the household of a widow whs kept a boarding-house in the West End, and has been looked upon as a confirmed bachelor. Recently be quit his old-time landlady and took lodgings elsewhere. It is due to this act tbat the sensation has come to the surface. Certain statements made by the former landlady a fami ly led to an investigation which developed the fact tbat tbe clerk and the widow were married in Baltimore, August 6, 183. Tha mar riage was never maae panne. - mere is said to be quite a romance connected with. the early life of the lady, who, it is claimed, is connected with the affair. How much tbe romance bas bad to do with the secrecy maintained in tbis instance, is bard to tell. But it is eertain the parties have been entitled to occupy tbe position of hnsbaud and wife for fourteen years, and bave lived in the same bouse, mingling with the other inmates, with out their marriage having been suspected. Since tbe former clerk bas changed his lodgings, it is said the matter will come up in court, in the form of a suit for divorce, when all the facts in tbe case will become known. Mr. Henry Probasco and Miss Grace Sherlock, both of Cincinnati, were married yesterday. Mr. Probasco is very wealthy, and ia known as

an art collector. He has given a fine publio fountain to Cincinnati. He is now sixty-seven years oid, and lost bis first wife about three years ago. The Housekeeper' Measure. Stockmaa and Farm. ' One great trouble with recipes is in the standard of measure. The eupf ul, tablespoonful and teaspoonful are universally used, and yet all of these are variable quantities. There is n standard size for any of these, each being made of a capacity to suit tb prevailing style or the fancy of tbe maker. The greatest variation is met with in the teaspoon. Everything is classed as a teaspoon from a desert spoon to a berry spoon. A large silverware dealer when questioned upon this point said fro handled more than a dozen different sizes of teaspoons, and tbat tbey vary in capacity from a half drachm to a drachm and a half. Is it any wonder we have trouble with recipes when we don't know which one of more than a dozen different measures bas been used? We think it high time that some constant standard of measure was adopted by housekeepers in their recipes.

A Disinfectant. Detroit Tribune. A most refreshing and cooling wash for the sick-room made bo made of rosemary, wormwood, lavender, rue, sage and mint a handful of each, put into a stone jar, over which turn a gallon of good cider vinegar. Cover it closely and let it stand near tbe fire for four days Then strain, add one ounce of powdered camphor gum. Put the liquid into bottles and keep closely corked. This preparation is called vioaigre a quatre voleurs. It is said that during the plague at Marseilles a band of robbers plundered tbe dead and dying without injury to themselves. Tbey were captured and condemned to die, but were pardoned on condition of disclosing the secret whereby they could ransack bouses infected witb tbe terrible scouree. They gave this receipt. It is aromatic, and is considered, besides being refreshing, a disinfectant as well aa being a safeguard against infection. Every farmer bas noticed the deterioration of oats. Tbe best varieties fall back after a few years, and are little better than the common oats. More attention might be profitably given to the seed. Two suggestions bave been made: Thrash tbe bundles lightly with a flail and thus get the best seed; the other, winnow out all the light oats. In attempting to make the food of the calf too rich when it is being raised by hand tho digestion may be impaired, and scours be the result Skim milk not soured given somewhat warm is the best, but oat-meal gruel may be added three times a week and a gill of linseed meal twice a week witb advantage. Do not, however, change the food suddenly. A sound mind goes very seldom without a sound digestion, and nothing contributes toward it more than the use of Angostura Bitters, the world renowned appetizer and inviporator. manufactured only by Dr. J.
