Let every colored man who favors the elevation of his race subscribe for the Leader; and let every white man who believes that slavery was a crme against humanity and that it is the duty of the ruling race to aid the Negro in his strvggle for moral, social and intellectual elevation do likewise. The Coroner's jury which investigated the burning of the old "World" building in New York find that the fire was caused by a defective flue. The jury censures Potter, and his employees, and commends McDaggert, a fireman, aqd Charles Wright, a colored bootblack, for saving life. The Virginia Legislature has concluded to repeal the whipping post statute of the State. The Negroes generally prefer the whip to imprisonment but the white folks object. It would have been well if the statute could have remained until Mahone got forty on the bare back. Sentinel. The above statement is incorrect, and is entirely contrary to the facts. The colored voters of Virginia demanded the abolition of the whipping post, and the pledges made by the Readjusters to the effect that this barbaric practice should be abolished, was mainly instrumental in securing the Readjuster ticket the support of the colored vote. Cannon the much-married Mormon delegate to Congress "denighs of it." He solemnly avers that he is not going to tell any bad tales on any bad Congressmen for the reason, chiefly that he dosen't know anything bad to tell. He leaves also the broad inference -that he would'nt telJL f he knew because he finds it more profitable to mind his own business. of which b very pathetic. an4 possibly consoling to . sundry trem,bHng Congressmen of odtrusive ippnu. angularity, evertneiess polyg&mou Mormonism must" move on," $nd it can't move too soon. Some years ago a number of Northern Presbyterians founded and liberally en dowed a college at Marysville Tennesexpressly stipulating that no dis tinction should ever be made on account of color or sex. Things went on smoothly until recently when a colored boy applied for admission to one of the literary societies. He was black-balled on account of his color. The faculty demanded his admission, but the society refused, whereupon the faculty sus pended twenty-three of the obstreper ous students. The scamps then stole the society 11 brary ami furniture aud skipped out lor tneir Homes, it is saul they pre sented some of the stolen furniture to a couple of churches in the vicinity. The president of the college, the Rev. Mr. Bartlett, says that the college will not be injured in the least by the trouble. It is a pity these young rascals were not transferred to the Penitentiary, rather than their homes. As it is, they will doubtless, simply augment the army of burglars and thieves that infest that unhappy region. Wouldn't it be a good idea for our churches, and socie ties, and men ot means throughout the country, to send a liberal contribution to Marysville College to enable it to more efiectively disseminate know! edge and moral truth in that benighted region? Brethren, pass 'round the hat for Marysville College and don't let it come back empty. President Arthur cannot be too highly commended for the dignified, im partial course he has thus far pursued toward the various factions of the Republican party. Brass and badges do not always carry off an office. The President seems to be disappointing some of the hot-headed 306, mi ho wanted every anti-third term man turned out of office at once to make room for a "stalwart," and also some violent "half breeds" who prophesied and hoped he would float down the suicidal 'wake of his vice presidential predecessors.: - . The President is moving slowly. He appears to have buried the personal antipathies naturally engendered in active, aggressive political life, and to be consulting only the good of thepublic ser: vice and the Republican party. The President is evidently doing his best to heal the differences, which if fostered, would makeit imposeible for the Republican party to enter the campaign of '84 .with any hope of success. If the President remains steadfast in the course

thus far indicated, the people .will find a way ;of expressing their approval, vindictive politicians and self seekers to the

contrary notwithstanding. There are some people in this country who need to learn that it is the great American privilege. to differ, and that men can take opposite sides in a party contest without committing a crime. As President Arthnr reviews the past, he can doubtless say with Lord Macaulay on his retirement from public life, that he is now able to do that justice to honorable ( opponents which perhaps in moments of conflict he might have refused them. The Hon. John C. New of Indiana has been appointed Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. New has had a large and varied experience in the busi ness world and will doubtless not find it difficult tö adjust himself to the important duties of this responsible position. An outspoken stalwart in a state where stalwarts were few and far between, Mr. New was complimented by a unanimous election to the Chairman ship of the State Central Committee, a body in which there was not a single stalwart. This fact no doubt enables Mr. New to feel that no faction of the Republican party has a monopoly of all that is good in human nature, and it will also make it easy for him to pursuethat eolden mean between the faction of the party, in the disposal of the pat ronage at his command, which has thus far characterized President ArthurIt is not unreasonable to suppose that the fact in Mr. New's life to which, we have called attention had its influence with the President when he selected Mr. New for this important trust. We sincerely hope that Mr; New may have the fullest measure of suc cess and that he may add enduring lau reis to his own fame and that of our roval old Hoosier state. Soteldo' WIM Career. New York Tribune, Feb. 11.1 Antonio Marius Soteldo, Jr., was born at Caracas. Venezuela, in 1843. His father was for several years Chief Justice of Venezuela, but was compelled by a revolution to leave that country toon after the birth of Antonio. He canie toNew York and practiced law. Young Soteldo was educated at St. John's College. Fordham, and after he waa graduated - he studied law. A wish to earn- some money while endeavor ing to build up a law practice, led him to join tue city stau or tue bun. lie wieiuea a ready though by no means a trustworthy pen. He was the Albany correspondent of the Sun in 18G9-0. He soon attracted at tention by his bitter attacks on certain members. Corruption nourished in those days. The fight Dttween the Erie Railway Company and the New York Central and Hudson River was in progress, and large sums of money, it was generally understood, were spent by both corporations. The famous tight between Tweed, Sweeney and Connolly, representing Tammany Hall and the Young Democracy, led by Henry Genet and Michael Norton, and the victory of Tweed after an enormous expenditure of money, occurred in the winter of 18CJ-70. Soteldo was always credited by those who were best acquainted with him with having received large sums of money at thede Legislative sessions. It was currently reported that there came into his hands a large package of money which was left in a ruoiufor a member of the Legislature who intended to take the bribe unobserved. In 1811 hia connection with the Sun ceased. Later he started in this city a weekly publication known as the Free Lance. It was chieäy noticeable for its bitter attacks on varius persons. It lived less than one year. In 1872 Soteldo was appointed by President Grant a Special Treasury Agent, and for a time he was stationed at Key "West, Fla. Later he was again sent to Albany as the correspondent of the Evening Telegram, of this city. His career in that capacity was a very short one. Since then he has been, the managing editor of the National Republican, under William C. Murtagh, the ident ical position since filled by Mr. Barton. His management was noteworthy for fierce attacks upon the gamblers of Washington, which were kept up through the local calnmns of the Republican for several weeks. He was next employed as the Washington coi respondent of the Baltimore American, the Indianapolis Journal, the San Francisco Chronicle and other papers. His entire journalistic career was marked by bitter personal attacks. It occasioned a good deal of surprise during his Albany . career that he was not killed, for some of - those whom he attacked were known as desperate men. He was a favorite of Tweed and Sweeney, however, and this probably saved him. His appointment as Clerk tn the Senate Committee on Railroads was procured for him by Senator Kelloww, with whom he had been intimate for several years. In 1871 Soteldo married a daughter of YY. H. Clements, of Cincinnati, the President of the Little Miami Railroad Company. A brother-in-law of Soteldo is the proprietor of Congress Hall, at Saratoga Springs. Sottldo's mother died two years ago at Morn:'.ania. His father is now the agent in Venezuela of a New York company. IiifcrsollM Home. Washington Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.

Colonel Ingersoll is one of the few who practices exactly what he preaches, and his pet theory of "liberty for man, woman and child" docs not stop at empty words. Probably a more popular man socially never lived. : .With his irresistible personal magnetism, his exhaustles fund of small talk, and happy faculty of always saying the right things, his eloquence and brilliant wit that drops so readily into the pathetic,' he is the most powerful human magnet of the age.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Jerc Haralson Old Bob Toombs lcnsions, Apportioiim e 11 1 and Equalization of Bounties. Lieut. Flipper and West Point A Voudoo Doctor Miscellaneous and Personal Kotes. Washington, D. C, Feb. 13, 1882 Hon. Jere Haralson, ex-meniber of Congress from Selma Alabama, resides in Washington at present, but expects to return home and be a candidate for Congress next fall. Jere is a jovial, hail fellow-well-met sort of man, and is full of anecdotes incidental to his polit ical experience. About the best 1 have heard him tell is one that occurred at Chicago during the memorable Repub lican presidential convention of June, 188Ü. Mr. Haralson was at that time a meraber of the National Committee, and was known as a strong anti-Grant man. It will be remembered that oen ntor Don Cameron was chairman of the committee at that time, ana it was feared bv the anti-Grant men that his rulings would be of such a nature as to prejudice their cause. Being in the maioritv thev called a meetiner at vhich the propriety of removing Mr. Cameron was discussed. At this meeting the now President but (lien ex-Collector C. A. Arthur appeared, and tated that Cameron would obey the beJiests of the committee, and that he would be his, Cameron's voucher. "That is all very well," said Haralson. "You vouch for Senator Cameron, but who is going to vouch for you? That is what we want to know now." The point was irresistible, and after n short season of laughter, in which the gentleman from New York led the van, Mr. Haralson and the balance of the committee were assured on the word of honor of a gentleman that their chairman would follow their commands, and there the matter dropped. This and other incidents in his varied 'political career, do not, in Mr. Haralson's opinion, fitly qualify him for a Grand Mogul in the eyes of the present administration, hence he will go home and seek Congressional honors from an appreciative constituency. Old Bob Toombs, of Georgia, by "reason of the pugnacity of his adher- ' -ence to what is very properly called the "lost cause, has probably been cussed and discussed more than any public man of his section. It is generally supposed that the blunt aud ready impudence and iusolence of the unrepentant old rebel, comes directly from the depths of sincerity of his own unreconstructed confederate heart; but I have heard differently from a prominent colored Georgian residing here. This gentleman informs rac that Old Bob claims to be proud of him and other colored Georgians who have risen to prominence in the recent history of Georgia and the nation. The hard things he has aid about the Negroes and the government, he claims, have been said because ""the people" exacted and wanted to hear something of that kind. "The people," of course, means die ex-rebels. It is to be doubted, however, whether this explanation puts Old Bob in as .-good a light before the world as that in which he stood before. From being a blunt old rascal of honest and sincere, though erroneous, motives, he becomes a panderer to the passions and prejudices of an ignorant rabble of ex-slave holders, poor white trash, and ex-blood-houud trainers and slave trackers. Old Bob is a bad mess, however you may look at him. Considerable time has been consumed thi week by Congress in the discussion of the Apportionment bill, and Senator Ingalls resolution against the repeal of the Pension arrears act. It is quite likely that the new apportionment will consist of .'?20 representatives, of which Indiana will get 13, the same uuiuIht a. at present. Ohio, I think, will also have the same number that she now has. The gains will come principally from the West and Sonth. Nearly every member of the Senate has taken advantage of the Ingalls resolu tion to declare in favor of the justice of the much abused pension law, and there is not the least probability whatever that it will ever be repealed. Beck, of Kentucky, is about the only senator in favor of the repeal, and Beck is not a majority. Survivors of the Mexican struggle aud certain Indian war veterans will doubtless be added to the pension list also. The equalization of government bounties to soldiers of the late war, is a question which Congress will soon be called upon to decide, and although the proposition will doubtless meet opposition, yet exact and equal justice will not have been meted out to all the soldiers until such a law is passed. The colored soldiers certainly bore their share of the burdens and daugers of the late war, and they are entitled to and should have the full measure of bounty that was given to other soldiers. In his lecture on "Self-made Men," Tuesday evening, Frederick Douglass mentioned the hte John Dictz, of Alban v, N. Y., as a representative selfmade colored man, who was possessed of inventive skill and genius of the very highest order. Mr. Dietz was the inventor of various plans for bridges, railways, etc., that displayed great mechanical and engineering ability. The Hudson is spanned by several bridges of his design, and it is claimed by his friends that the present elevated railway lines in New York were constructed after a modified plan of his model for such roads. It is sad to remark, however, that through the lack of pecuniary aid or the influence of powerful friends, other persons instead of Mr. D. and his heirs now hold patents on his inventions. Senator laxey, of Texas, introduced a bill in the Senate Friday last, for the relief of Sampson Goliah, who was dishonorably discharged from Company A .55th Mass. (Col.) volunteers for mu;ijy during the late war- The measure jives Goliah an honorable discharge t ad back pay. ' The Texas Senator is doubtless moved to action through a

feeling of sympathy for the memory of the distinguished ancient citizen whose

concentrated cognomens it is the happy lortuue ot this modern son ot Mars to bear. The "Republican" ofhee in this city, last Thursday evening was the scene of a desjerate and fatal conflict between Clarence Barton, one ot the editors ot that paper, and two brothers named Soteldo, who took umbrage at a certain publication in the "Republican" which reflected on the reputation of one of the Soteldos. In the attray Uarton was seriously and A. M. Soteldo fatally wounded, both by the younger Soteldo, who was endeavoring to kill Barton. The wounded Soteldo has since died. News comes from Hayti that the yellow fever is epidemic at various towns on the island, especially at Port-au-Prince. The son of Minister Langston is said to be dangerously ill of the disease. It is also said that great distress exists throughout the country owinsr'to the embarrassinsr condition of the National finances. Mr. H: C. Astwood. editor of the "Louisianian" has been appointed Consul to the island of Trinidad, W. I. A white New Yorker named Yates, has been appointed Consul to this country by the Liberian government. It is not believed that Lieut. Flipper, of the Tenth Cavaln' will be dismissed the service, although that is said to be the decision ot the military court which tried him. He was not convicted of embezzlement, as was charged, but simply of deceiving a superior otflcer. It has been quite plain to fair minded persons, who have watched the progress of this case, that the charges aud the trial were but the developments of a conspiracy to get Lieut. Flipper out of the military service. He unwittingly allowed Jiimself to be entrapped in the meshes of the cunning scoundrels who sought his downfall, and that, and nothing more, is the sum of his offending. Itjisjsafe to say that President Arthur will not allow himself to be made the tool of such unprincipled rascals, and hence it is believed that the decision of the lower court will be reversed by him, and the victim of West Point pauper aristocracy will be restored to his rank and command in his legiraent, The West Point gang are slowly but surely drawing down upon their heads the condemnation of the honest people of the country, and the time is not far distant when taxpayers will begin to inquire why we suport such a snob factoryas we have at W est Point. If we must have aristocrats, they should pam per themselves at their own exense, and not at the cost of the government. we could get & long very well without the Military Academy, and its early abolishment will make few honest hearts ache. Washington is the capitol of the Na tion, contains mauv beautiful, massive and commodious private residences and public buildings; has the finest streets in the world, and is supposed to be the center of the aggregate wisdom (and political chicanery) of the Continent, and yet, notwithstanding all these magnificent qualities, which its citizens proudly point to as indicating that it is the city of manifest destiny, notwithstanding all these evidences ot metropolitan culture, beauty, refinement, etc., still, the Voudoo doctor lives, moves, has his being and basks in the smiles of greatness even as does the green bay tree in the moist land of the tropic climes of the sunny Southland. The Voudoo is an African product, but his devotees are of all races and all sects and sexes. But to the point. Charles Carroll, an African Voudoo doctor, was fined and imprisoned by order of the city court a few days ago, for obtaining money under false pretenses from various persons, mostly women whom he had promised to relieve from some trouble or disease by the magic of his dark incantations. Among these victims was an apparently intelligent and respectable white woman, from whom the Voudoo physicist had obtained two valuable gold rings under promise of relieving her of some disease. The Voudoo method of procedure was simple and what might be termed quite "slick", and I commend it to the "confidence" fraternity of the country as a trick decidedly childlike and bland in its character. lie told the woman it would be necessary to have gold, "bright shining, yellow gold" in order to successfully consummate her complete restoration to sound health through the infallible Voudoo rites. She produced two valuable gold rings, and these the "Doctor" took into his possession, telling her that when he returned with them she would lie "all right." Now, right here is the point; he never tame back, and the woman recovered sufficiently to have him arrested and to appear as a prosecuting witness, which of course proves the efficacy of the Voudoo method. The woman, evidently, would not have been able to have him arrested, had she not submitted to his "peculiar" method of treating disease, and it seems rather ungrateful in her to assist in sending him up for six months. But such is life Washington life. Texas comes to the front with a smart young man bent upon making his fortune out of the smallpox scare. He is traveling through that State vaccinating the ignorant colored people with bees wax. He tells them he is appointed by the government to do that work, and if they refuse to be vaccinated and pay him one dollar for the trouble, they lay themselves liable to fine and imprisonment. This is an assuring sign of the return of industry at the South, and shows that Texas, at least, is not behind other states in the variety, originality and rieculiar deviltry of some of her industries. As I write the news comes that the nomination of Hon. John C. New, has just been announced for Asst. Sec'y of the Treasury. The names of the Hons. W. W. Curry andG. W. Friedly were prominently mentioned for the same place. E. R. B. It is one thing to love truth, and to iek it, for iU own aake; and quite another to welcome at much of it as tallies with our impressions and principles.

A REMEDY FOR 8MALLPOX.

Lemon Juice Tried and Found to Be A Speclüo. The Scientific American publishes some interesting particulars respecting the practice of Dr. A. S. Payne, late Professor in Southern Medical College, Atlanta, Ga. Dr. Payne says that, as early as 184ß, he noticed that the initial smallpox fever could be discovered by its peculiar pulse before any other symptom appeared. Having discovered this pulse, he proceeded to vaccinate. If this is done within ten or twelve hours after the inception of the fever the patient will have a slight indisposition, without a sign of eruption, and as positive exemption from a recurrence of the disease af if it had passed through its stages. A remarkable feature of this experience is that if the patient is vaccinated early after the initial fever sets in he may be allowed to go where he pleases without fear of spreading the disease. Professor Payne has tried his plan for thirty-four years on more than 100 cases, without failure. He advised the discontinuance of smallpox Hos pitals, as tending to increase the ravages of the disease, and, instead, recommends isola tion of patients, and, where parties are dis posed to the smallpox, visit them twice a aay, ana, as soon as un lever is recuguieo, j ii . i : i vaccinate them. He r-elieves this method would soon stamp out the disease, which p which is I now becoming so prevalent. Last April Dr. James Moore of Ironton, O., published his experience with lemons asa REMEDY FOB SMALLPOX, It is as follows: I was taken sick April 14 with what I supposed was a severe cold, hav ing had my hair shingled the previous Fri dav. The 14th I was quite leverish, with, a severe pain in the head and back. Saturday, 10th, I was no better; Sunday somewhat reduced, I presume, by the aid of aconite, which had been administered to me by Drs, Morris and Dunn; eruption very indistinct underneath the skin. Monday morning, ISth, eruption unniis takably that of smallpox. Tuesday morn ing, eruption very abundant, crop increas ins ranidlv in size and number. Wednes day m'ornine. a very dense crop all over the face, forehead, scalp and bend, neck and soles of feet. Upon the arras, legs and body they were very evenly distributed, but not so closely packed as upon the above mentioned parts. By evening I was suffering intensely from those on the scalp. By 10:30 o'clock the pain was almost intolerable. My nurse had retired and was sound asleep in bed Mv feet were so tender that I dare not let them touch the footboard of the bed. My head I could not suffer to lie on the pillow I lay. raised up on my elbow, my neck resting on my hand. I had by this time become so nervous I dare not shut my eyes from fear of seeing unpleasant visions. Pulse about 00. I had upon the table at the bedside a pitcher of water and a drink ing glass, a box of seidlitz powders and an ounce of chlorate of potash in crystals. I had also at my bedside a paper of lemons, also one orange. These were all within my reach. I recollected that lemon juice in sufficient quantity was a sedative, and would lower tne heart's action, and by so doing might re lieve me of those UNPLEASANT VISIONS. I therefore squeezed all the juice I possibly could out of one of the lemons into the glass, to which I added about two tablespoonsful of water, and drank it. I then opened the rind and sucked the balance of the juice. In about twenty minutes I took another lemon and used it in the same man ner. In a short time I felt very cold, as if I were lying in close proximity to a large mass of snow or ice. My pulse had dropped to (JO. I shut my eyes to see if the unpleas ant visions were gone. I not only found that they were eone, but, by placing my hand upon my head, I found the pox had gone also. My head was bathed with gummous like fluid, which had exuded from the pox. It stained the napkin I had ap plied to wipe it off. It seemed as n such had given up its contents and wilted down to a level with the surface. The same had taken place with those upon my face. My beard was glned together with the same kind of fluid. Those upon my neck had not bursted, but had shrunk away and diminished in size considerably. I awoke, I presumed, from cold, although I had plenty of cover over me, and the tire was still burning in the grate. I felt so well pleased that I took a little more lemon juice, l kept my pulse at irom ou to t lor thirty-six hours, when all eruptions, all elevations, had disappeared from my skin. I then bid good-by to lemon juice and small pox. So strongly am I convinced of the power of lemon juice to abate any and every case of smallpox, if adtui nietet ed as I administered it to myself, that I look upon it as a specihe of as much certainty and power in smallpox as quinine is in intermittent fever. I therefore publish my experiments, hoping every physician having a case of smallpox will give it a fair trial and report the result to me. General Jefferson C. Davli. To the Editor of the Cincinnati Commercial: It was at the battle of Murfreesbcro, named also Stone Iliver, Captain W. H. McCauley, of the Confederate Army, seeing the fall of his immediate chief. General Raines, whilst turning to tell of it to a private, fell himself with three splintered ribs, the ball going through without serious injury to any vital part, and lodging in his clothes. Carried off the field and reclined against a rock duriog tne battle, lie was ait er ward conveyed to a frivate residence in the vicinity and there eft. Well cared for, he was healing of his "erievous wound," when a Union officer presented and ordered him to report at the quarters of General Davis. Feeling that he could not bear the motion of a vehicle, and having some use of his legs, be determined to obey the peremptory order by walking in easv stages the mile and a half to the Gen eral's camp. He made the trip, was shown the tent of Ueneral Davis, who, espying a wasted form, thin as a lance, before him, stepped out, when, in substance, the following colloquy took place: General Who are you? McC. My name is McCauley General What are you? McC. Captain in the Confederate Army. General What did you come here for? McC. 1 was ordered to come here. General Who gave you that order? McC. That is the man standing there (.pointing to a Lieutenant Colonel). General (his hand rapidly ciosine into a fist, the thumb pointing to the Colonel) There are some men who haven't a damned bit of sense. I sent you to collect my men, straggling around here, and you bring to me a man who can be of no use to auybody one that can harm nobody. Come in (to McCauley). General -Where are you wounded? As the vest and pataloons were easily drawn apart he showed the wound, then bleeding from the walk. General Here is mycot lie down. McC. No, General, I had rather not. .General Why not? McC. (who could hardly by nature repress a grim humor in the jaws of death) You wouldn't want your cot stained with Rebel blood. General That makes no difference. McC I do not wish to foul your bed. General Here is a camp-stool sit .down, then. McC. Thank you, General ; I will gladly sit down. The General's staff- seemed busy reporting and drawing up maps of the battle. A conversation ensued in which, finding the Captain was opposed to his (Davis) own command, and McCauley being one of that class of men who could not avoid taking in every detail within the range of his vision, were he to try not to do it, was able to give much information of the relative disposition of the opposing forces as the General desired. "And now," said the General to McCauley, "where do you wish to go?" Upon finding that the Captain wished to go where he came from, and being told that the place was within his lines, and seeing that the wounded man would be unable to get away, yet receiving a promise that he would not, the General told him.he would send him to the Provost Marshal, who would send him where he wished to go. Upon the General proposing to send him in an ambulance, the Captain refused, feeling, as he said, that the striking of a wheel against a root or any obstruction would tear him to pieces. . The General then said; "I have an old gentle horse, easy as an old shoe, that anybody

can ride win yon- ride nimr This offer was thankfully accepted, the old horse placed beside; a log in

frontot the tent, upon which the Captain climbing, placed his foot in the stirrup, but on attempting to mount, the leg on the wounuea siae wouia not follow, in a moment the General ran from his tent, took hold of the rebellious leg and gently, ten derly placed it over the saddle, jumped over tne log ana careiuiiy placed the foot in the stirrup. Thia little espisode of the War, so honorable to the heart of Gen. Davis, who preserv eu anuu me Druiaimes ever auenuant upon J 1 A. 1 1 internecine strife, the amenities and humanities of civilized warfare, should be made known, as it strikes me, to his friends, although written by one who never knew any thingof his private life orsurroundings. As to the wounded Rebel, he got to nis desired haven, where the good samantan appeared to him in the comely shape of an old lady, who told him that for the tinie being she was his mother; to strip the wound at once and obey her. Inflammation and fever attending the useless tramp, the Captain knew nothing for several days, but upon returning to coiü-ciousness. found him self poulticed "all over with bran." from which he stepped forth finally a "bran ' new man.

While they were clinging desperately to the edge of the ice and ellorts were being made to reach them, the older one cried out: "Be sure and take Willie out first." But both Willie and his generous brother were drowned. l raveling in Honda is said to be expen sive. The hotels range in price from $3.50 to $4 per day. Board may be had in private houses from $2 to $3 a day. Steamboat fares are about $6 for a day and night's travel, inclucung berths. The boats are very much crowded now, and cots are used night ly in the cabins. "The patent tidy fastener" is a snare and a hollow mockery. An instrument has never been invented and never will bethat will secure a tidy in its place. When a man can sit on a chair ten minutes without getting a tidy under luro somewhere, or on the floor, he may know that the millennium is only about two hours hence. Mr. Slobsor w ilked into the police office Saturday ad complained to the officer in charge that the Star Route thieves had broken into his house and robbed him. "How do you know they were Star Route thieves?" inquired the officer. "Because," replied the old man, "they stole everything I had; they didn't leave me one single thing.'' There was no getting around that kind of logic. One of the wealthy and fashionable women of Zanesville, O., astonished a large company of keno eamblers by walaing coolly into ihe room where they were at play, accompanied by a ioliceman. She was in quest of a young brother, who had become possessed of an uncontrollable mania for gambling; and she not only took him away, but secured enough evidence to convict the proprietors of the place, which was closed. One of the mo9t encouraging evidences of educational progress in this country is the attention which school authorities are beginning to give to the intelligent study of the English language. Under the system, which is now being gradually changed, pupils were made to commit to memory a vast array of rules, which served them not at all in speaking and writing. Many have been the graduates of Normal Schools incapable of writing a commonplace letter correctly and with ease. A ball was recently given in the Manchester (England) Town "Hall for the purpose of promoting the calico printing trade by showing what beautiful designs and colors modem skill in that industry can produce. No lady was admitted to the ball whose dress was not exclusively of English calico, printed either in Manchester or Glasgow. About 1,300 persons were present, and every one was amazed at the beauty and variety of the costumes. Calico balls have frequently been given in the name of charity, but perhaps never before in the avowed interest of trade. When the mob in Sheffield, England, assaalted the Salvation Army, it was thought that if General and Mrs. Booth were to ride in a carriage at the head of the procession, it might have a civilizing effect on the ruffians, and soften their wicked hearts. But it was found to be of no avail. Then two more carriages were procured for other officers of the "Army," and these led the way, accompanied by a band of music There was also a "converted wrestler," a muscular sort of person who was supposed to have muscle enough to put down all opposition. But even over all this imposing parade the violence of the Sheffield mob triumphed. Mud, bricks and decayed vegetables, were thrown at the Salvationists to such an extent as to have a very discouraging effect on them. The "converted wrestler," who was mounted on horseback, and dressed in scarlet, found , himself unable to wrestle with the forces of sin. He was thrown from his war horse, and battered so badly that he was carried in a veiy exhausted condition to a Hospital. The probability is th t this champion of evangelism will not recover. The police of Sheffield did not furnish any material distance. They do not sympathize with the Salvatian Army, but. on the contrary, regard it as a nuisance. So it is in other British cities. They have made it all up, but it came near being a eerious quarrel. She owed a visit for a long while, and one day she paid it, leaving a card. Two or three days afterwards she met her friend, and ehe cut her dead, and the friend explained to her next self that so long as Mrs. could call right m her neigborhood and never condescend to stop at her house, why of course she wanted nothing to do with her. "But the day I was in her neighborhood I did call," says Mra. . "Nothing of the sort,' says the friend. ''That day I received but one card, and that was Mrs. Smith's, though why this speaial Mrs1 Smith should visit me I can not imagine, for I do not know her." Then it came out. Mrs. -.ongoing home one day just as Mrs. Smith had left her house got her card and put it thoughtlessly into her card case, and that was the card she had left for ' her dear friend in mistake for her own. - Thev kused one another sweetly and twore eternal love.

The office of County Court Clerk is filled in two Counties by women, and in Fayette County, where a gentleman died soon after receiving the nomination for County Clerk. the widow is now a candidate for the office. The office of Stat Librarian is held by a woman. A sprightly newspaper was edited by a young lady until a short while ago. During the summer a woman evangelist made a tour of a portion of the State. The noted Pink cottage, the faith-cure establishment, a full expose of which was recently published in " the Republican, iras conducted by women. A woman is now managing a faith-cure in Louisville, and reports of numerous cures of all manner of ills that flesh is heir to are received by the outside world. A bill is to be presented to the Legislature to allow women in Kentucky the right to vote, sit on Juries, hold office, etc. The Senate has already pa ed a bill giving to women the same projerty rights that men have. Early yesterday morning an aged lady in this (Madison) County died, bhe was laid out and a messenger hent to this place for a coffin. Arrangements were made to have the funeral at the house of a daughter, and notice of the same was given. The coffin being ritte! out to order, waa put in a hearse and started to the house of the deceased. On the way it was met and turned back, as the lady had revived, although she had been thought dead for half a day. She bad a sister living who underwent the eame horrible experience ä number of years ago. There are in this County two ladies of a distinguished family, their father having been Minister to Russia, etc., who conduct their farms themselvc:-. giving the work their personal supervision, and during this wintry weather they wear rubber bootswith unusually short dresses. If the Missouri cousins desire to know what advancement among women means let them come to Kentucky.
