crats cannot hope to be appointed to places tinder this administration. I can do nothing for your friend.'' This reply convinced the friends of the deposed employe that it would bo usele to waste time; that Mr. Chandler had struck the kev-note. and that their friend miuht better in looking out for other employment. It has been the custom in cases of this kind for the. official seen to promise to see what he could do. and dilly-dallying delays have only resulted linally in disappointment to the applicant. Mr. Chandler's straightforward admission that there is no hope would relieve men trying to get back of the necessit3' of wasting their time, and it will prove a much better policy than that which has heretofore been in vogue in the departments. v MINOR MATTERS.

To Whom Medal Will Be Awarded by the Government for Hrarery In Savins; Lives. Washington, June 0. The Secretary of the Treasury has issued a circular in regard to awards of life-saving medals, which provides that awards shall be made only to the following persons: First Those who have endangered their lives in paving or endeavoring to save others from the perils of the sea within the jurisdiction of tne United States or upon an American vessel. Second Those who have made signal exertions in rescuing and succoring the shipwrecked and in saving persons from drowning. The Secretary says: "It should be observed that the saving of life or giving of succor does not, in itself, entitle a person to a medal. Services of this kind are rendered almost daily, which, although very commendable, aro yet not accompanied by special risk, danger or sacrifice on the part of thoo performing them. It is obvious that it was not the intention of Congress to offer rewards in these cases, but to reserve them for those exceptional instances where peculiar bravery or unusual effort has been displayed."

Other old customers, who have had large orders waiting the end of this strike, will also bny elsewhere in a week or ten days if the mines are not started. In the event that the miners do not go to work at once, there can be no question about the introduction of machines into the block-coal mines, as they are now already in use in the bituminous mines.

THE GROWING CROPS-

IIow They. Were Affected by Temperature and Rain-Fall During the Past Week. Washington, June 30. The week ending Juno 20 has been cooler than usual in all agricultural districts, except in Dakota, where the temperature has been above the average for tho week. In the Ohio valley, the lake regions and the middle Atlantic States, including the tobacco regions of Kentucky and Virginia, the daily temperature ranged from six to nine degrees below the normal, while iu the cottou region and in the Missouri valley the temperature ranged from three to six below the normal. In New England and on the Pacific coast the averrge temperature prevailed. The seasonal temperature from Jan. 1 to June 29 differs about one degree from the normal in all districts, from the lake region southward to tho gnlf. Generally throughout the Northern States there has been a gradual decrease in the excess of temperature which was reported in the early part of the season. This condition applies to the central valleys, where the thermal conditions are now about norm ah In New England, New Jersey and east New York the season is about one week in advance, and the daily temperature has averaged two degrees above the normal. The season is also about one week in advance, in Dakota, northwestern Minnesota and northern Nebraska. There has been an excess of rain-fall during the week, generally on the Atlantic coast, from and including New York southward to Florida, in the Ohio valley, and iu the southern portion of the cotton region, extending from southern Georgia to Texas. The rain-fall along the South Atlantic coast generally exceeded four inches. Light showers occurred in the States of the lake region, and iu all other States except Arkansas, eastern Iowa and southern Illinois, where fair weather continued during the week. The rain-fall for the season continues in excess along the Atlantic coast from New York to Florida, and from the Missouri valley southward to the west gulf coast. Over 75 per cent, of the seasonal rain-fall has occurred generally throughout the States of the Mississippi valley and in the cotton region, excepting in the southern portions of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, where only 05 per cent, of the seasonal rain-fall has occurred. The recent rains, however, in this section doubtless occurred in time to improve the crop uonuiiions. i nere is a large nencieucy in rain-fall, amounting to about 50 per cent, of the normal, in northwestern Minnesota and northeastern Dakota. Showers, however, occurred in this region during the week. Well-distributed rains occurred on the Pacific coast from San Fiancisco north ward to Washington Territory, the rainfall in the grain regions ranging from ouetourth to three-fourths of an inch. The weather has been favorable for all growing crops throughout the central valleys and Northwest, except in Dakota, where drought has caused some injury to wheat, oats and barley, but corn is reported as tine and growing rapidly iu that Terri tory and generally throughout the corn belt. From Minnesota reports show that all crops were improved, but more rain is needed in the Red river valley country. Uenorts from Nebraska. Iowa. Illinois, In diana, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky aud Arkansas show that the conditions for the week were especially favorable for corn, wnicn maue rapm grow in. Harvesting is in progress in lennessee, and the damage to wheat from excessive rain has been overestimated. Reports from the tobacco re gions of Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina show that the crop is doing well. and was improved by the favorable weather of the past week. Favorable rains occurred over the cotton region. In Alabama, northern Louisiana, Arkansas and South Carolina the cotton crop was improved by seasonable weather and welldistributed rains. In Mississippi this crop was not injuriously affected. Texas reports cool weather, Uttle sunshine and too much rain for crops generally throughout the State during the week. In southern Louisiana the rice and sugar crops were improved by abundant rains, but a week's dry weath er would still further improvo the crops. In the Middle Atlantic States, New En gland and Ohio some injury has resulted from continuous 'rains and the absence of sunshine. Although the crop prospects continue good in these sections, dry weather is needed for the harvesting of cereals and liav. Reports from southern New England show that all crops, including tobacco, were improved, and are in line condition. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Forecast. Washington, Juno 30.

Mary Gordon Duftee's Theft from the Confederate Government. Birmingham (Ala.) Letter. Half a mile west of Blount Springs, Ala., a rouch but picturesque mountain, covered "with'a denso growth of oak. nine, and hickory, rises abruptly to an altitude of nearly three hundred feet above the narrow valley below. On the summit of this mountain there is a considerable

area of table land sloping gently to the south and wesL At the edge of this table land, and on the highest point of tho mountain stands a small frame cottage crumbling to rnins, which is the home of Mary Gordon Duftee and her aged mother. Very few of tho thousands who have read the short poems, the stories and historical sketches written by Mary Gordon Dutlee know anything of the history of this eccentric womau. Matthew Dnffec, an Irishman, came to America about sixty-livo years ago and settled in Mobile, Ala. He married in that city a Miss Gillespie, and four children were born tothem Georgo, James. William and Mary Gordon. Matthew Duftee kept a small hotel in Mobile for many years, and wa& Terv prosperous in business. He saved several thousand dollars, which he invested in a plantation on the Red river, in Louisiana. He leased the plantation, and several years before the war removed with his family to Tuscaloosa, Ala., where he purchased and successfully managed the Indian Ouecn Hotel. Uutl'eo was noted far and wide for his kindness and generosity, and much of his fortune was given away to the poor and friendless. Mary Gordou Durl'ee was educated at the Tuscaloosa Female Seminary. She was a hard student, but so marked were her peculiarities that she made few friends and had no intimates among the school-girls, fche was very homely and extremely awkward in manner. She was very sensitive to ridicule, and avoided the society of young people as much as possible. While yet a school-girl she began ty write verses and short sketches, and some of them were of sufficient merit to find a place in the columns of local papers and receive very favorable comments Irom her friends. Thus encouraged, she devoted more and more time to study and writing and less to making acquaintances and friends. A few years before tho war, Matthew Duftee, who had then lost most of his property, sold his business in Tuscaloosa and removed to Blount Springs, then the only watering nlace in the State. The superior quality of the waters of these springs had attracted the attention of a number of rich planters in south Alabama, and. building small cottages in the little valley, they would spend the heated term with their families at "Blount." Duftee was confident a" good hotel at tho springs would prove a paying investment, lie built a large frame hotel and called it the Dnflee House. He was very successful until the war broke out, when his business was ruined. Duffee's sons enlisted in the confederate arm', and Mary Gordon was appointed postmistress at Blount Springs. She had continued her literary work after leaving college, aud her poems and sketches were readily accepted by the leading Southern publications. In the autumn of 1804 a package containing about 100.000 in confederate money was forwarded by mail from Montgomery, Ala., to Quartermaster-general Morgan's headquarters at Nashville. This money never reached its destination. It was traced to the postofflce at Blount Springs, aud to the possession of Mary Gordon Dnflee. She made no eftort to conceal the money, but spent it lavishly. She went about through the country buying cows, provisions, and clothing for the wives, widows, and families of confederate soldiers. She relieved hunger aDd sutTering in hundreds of humble homes, and tho starving wives and children of absent soldiers looked upon her as an angel of mercy, not knowing or inquiring how she obtained the money which enabled her to relieve their wants. But the confederate government needed the money and could lit ati'ord the loss of such a largo amount. When it was learned that Mary Gordon Duftee had it her arrest was ordered. A regiment of cavalry from Louisiana was ordered to Blount Springs to make the arrest. So attached had the poor country peoplo become to tho womau, who had been a ministering angel to them, that tho ofticers feared an attempt would bo mado to rescue her and she was taken to Mobile under a strong guard. She Avas not without friends in Mobile, where her father, tho kind and generous Irishman, was not forgotten. I'owerful inlluence was brought to bear to secure her release. It was shown that she had not appropriated one dollar of tho money to her own use, but had spent it all in relieving tho wants of the wives and children of soldiers. All other weans failing to bocure her release, an appeal was made to Jefterson Davis, and the matter fully ex plained to him, as well as the woman's pe culiarities, a he result was an order lor her release without trial. As soon as she was released she returned to Blount Springs. Matthew Duftee died a few years after the war, and his daughter and her mother had nothidg left them except the little cottage and a few acres of land on top of the mountain. Mary Gordon Duftee had by this time become embittered against tho world. Sho became more and more eccentric in her dress and habits, and was soon regarded by her neighbors as a harmless "crank." She resumed her literary work in a desultory way. and occasionally received slight compensation for some of her contributions to magazines and newspapers. For years, in conversation, she has sever been known to speak well of any one, but when she takes a pen in her hand to write she be comes a changed being. With no weapon save her pen she was not long able to keep the gaunt wolf of poverty from the door, and of late years her mother and herself have been largely dependent on tho charity of their kind-hearted neighbors. Miss Duftee is now about fifty years old. IT WAS A GREAT GAME OF CIIESS. The Young Man Who Heat Sulejmann Pasha Fifty Year Ago. New York Snn. On a summer afternoon, almost fifty years aaro, Sulejmann Pasha, Commander-in-Chief of the Egyptian artillery, sat at coffee in a cafe on the Nile terrace, in Cairo. At tables near him were mans' soldiers, who had helped him fight the armies of Sultan Mahmud not many months before. Several of them had been with him in the battle of Nizib, when ho routed the Turkish army under Haliz Pasha and Colonel Von Moltke, then in the Sultan's service, lint Sulejmann Pasha was not thinking of the soldiers about him, nor of Haliz Pasha, nor Colonel Von Moltke, nor the great battle of Nizib. His whole attention was concentrated on a chess-board before him. Sulejmann Pasha was a famous chessplayer. In the first few weeks after his return to Cairo he had beaten dozens of times Ulema Keschid Aga, formerly the champion chess-player of northern Egypt. He regarded his reputation as a chess-player as somewhat akin to his reputation as a warrior. He considered chess to be pre-eminently a soldier's game, and never tired of making elaborate comparisons between strategy on the chess-board and strategy on the.field of battle. Every afternoon he met Ulema Kegchid Aga at tlio c:ife on the Nile tcrraco and beat him two or three games. On this particular afternoon, almost fifty venrsngo, Ulema Keschid Aga was a little late in coming to his Waterloo, and Sulej mann Pasha was having a preliminary skirmish with himself while awaiting his opponent's arrival. His diversion was interrupted by the appearance on the tcrraco of a long, gaunt, bony young stranger. The stranger strode right up to the Pasha's table, and. after making a half-military salute, said so loudly that e3eryone on the terrace could bean "Paha, I challenge yon to a game of cheRs." All the ofneers on the terrace sat quite still and stared at the thin, pale youugman who stood before their great commander. The Pasha looked him over curiously. "I am at your servicer' was ins answer a after a long pause "How high do you usually playt ' "Sometimes for nothing, Rometimes for a great deal. You fix t lit; stakes. Pasha." "Well, a hundred ducats will not be too mueli." The stranger noilded and sat down. The lots were cast. The. game was becuu. All tbeoflicers in tho cafe left their code to crowd around the players. The first few moves convinced them that the long, bony fingers of the stranger had moved chess men iaauy times before. At th,o end of

He had an in vincible combination, lie placed his queen ueiore ms opponent's queen." Iheotlicera began to grumble, for they thought their commander had lost his head. Only Keschid Aa, who in the meantime had joined tho crowd of spectators, looked happy. He' had guessed his friend combination, aud he, too, was sure that it was invincible. "He will take tho unpen " commented the spectators anxiously. Then he will be checkmated in eight moves," whispered back Keschid Aga.

The otlicers thought its was all up with the gaunt young man, and started back to their codec. They were called back, however, by the tirsft words that the Pasha's opponent had spoken since he sat down to the table. 'Pasha, in twelve moves you will bo checkmated." The interest of the Pasha's friends became intense. They counted each move aloud. One two three four and the Pasha was already hard pressed. Five feix seven eight nine and his men wero hemmed in on all sides. Ten the Pasha tried in vain to break tho blockade by sacrificing his queen. Eleven he drew back his king into a corner. Twelve and tho stranger cried out: 'Checkmate! There was a dead silence, and all stared at the Pasha. He thought hard for several minutes without uttering a word. Then ha looked searchingly into the stranger's face, and said: "Once before I have seen chess played as you play it. Your strategy is not new to me, although I canuot cope with it. The game that your playing reminds me of was much finer than this. It was played with cavalry, and infantry, and heavj' artillery, till the ground shook under our feet. Tfio great chess-player from the North who was then against me had 15O.O0U men. In hi hands they were invincible. The mad and anxious interference of Ifatiz Pasha ruined his combinations, however, and :ave us tho game." The Pasha stopped a moment to scrutiui?o the stranger's face. It was expressionless. Then he continued: "Young man, you remind me of that preafc chess-player from the North who all but routed us at Nizib, as you have routed mo here. Young man, only one man in tho world can play chess like thaL Ho is CoL Von Moltke." "Yon have it." answered the stranger, reaching tho Pasha his hand. "I am Moltke' ABYSSINIAN 8 LAVE GIIILS. Dusky Beauties That Fetrh Fancy Price from the Lords of Many Harems. Philadelphia Times. On the route to Khartoum is Galilbat. famous as the great slave market of tho Eastern Soudan. It is here that the Soudanese, in their slave-catching expeditious against tho hated Christians of the highlands, bring their trains of beautiful Abyssinian girls and sell them to dealers, who make a business of supplying tho harems of Khartoum, Kasenla and Mecca. Only two or three travelers have beeti able to describe the "busy and piteous spectacle in the slave booths of Galabat, which is all the more interesting and deplorable because the victims are girls, torn from their mountains to live like cagi d birds behind the lattices of harems from the Nile to Mecca. They are as highly prized by the lords of the harem as the famous beauties of Circassia. Dr. Junker iu the book of travels ho is now publishing, tells of tho beauty of maii3' of these maidens and adorns his volume with well-executed engravings of some of them. Even while the Soudan was under Eg3'ptian control the harem trafiic at (ialabat thrived, and we can easily imagine that since this last disastrous war the town has been in the heydey of its prosperitj'. Mr. I). Cosson, who visited Galabat sotuo years ago, said that the merchants sat smoking beside the booths that concealed their slaves from public view. When customers appeared a piece of cotton cloth was thrown over the head of each girl, which concealed her features until it was her turn to be inspected. "Many of these young girls," he wrote, "are very beautiful. Their color is often not darker than (that of a Spanish gipsy, their features are small and delicate, their form proportioned like a Greek statute, and their eyes large and lustrous." A few years ago one of these fair prisoners in Jeddah threw herself from a window to tho pavement below, preferring death to captivity. No doubt when they gaze from their prisons upon the hot sands of Arabia the thought of their own green mountains only aggravates their unhappy lot. m m The President Not a Sabbath-Breaker. New York Independent. Certain partisan journals are engaged in the very unworthy attempt to bring tho President's religion intocontempt. During his whole life no has been a consistent Christian, as his open life has proved. Now the meaner spirits among his political opponents are seeking to convey the impression that his practice is not according to his profession. Here is one of their statements: President Harrison and two memlwrs of his Cabinet last Wiuiday took another Sabbath excursion down the Potomac. This is not true and was known to e not true: but it was purposely made misleading to weaken public respect for tho President. He did not go on a Sabbath excursion. He went down the Potomac ou Saturday and returned on Monday, just as he had done several times befoie. spendiug the Sunday quietly and becomingly, not omitting attendance on public worship, and at the same time enjoying the change and the fresh air. It must be a very small and a very inean mind that can insinuato hypocrisy without the least ground for it. Too 31uch for tho Ilaby.
