Tue horse of the late gorgeous Republican Attorney GenerAl was sold yesterday la Washington. He goes to Logansport, Ind to Otto Kraus. Miss Van Zakdt, our gritty little countrywoman, draws crowdsd houses in Paris every night, notwithstanding the "biasing." St&y with them, Mademoiselle. Oca Washington correspondent telegraphs that Mr. Bynum entertains no bad feelings at the result cf the Postoiiice controversy, and says that Mr. Jones is "a good man and will make a splendid officer." Sur! be qoiet a moment. Here is C3n;o latlon for the organs. Pays a special: "The interesting diecovery hes been made that the President's bisters era staunch Republicans, and have not abated a particle of their faith since they came into the White House." A MTTir. referring to the Slate Geologic il Bureau, reproduced from the South Ben 1 Times and written by Ex-Senator Leeper, will bs found in another column of this paper. It Trill interest the casual r2fider as we'l as these specially intf res edin geology. The letter deservedly compliments Professor Collett and his succeaser, Hon. Maurice Taompou. Aracros of the appointment of Hon. S. 8. Cox to ths Turkish mission, we quote ths handsome compliment paid hint by Colonel John A. Joyce, of Kentucky. He said: 'There is Sim Cox, the brightest and best Informed man in Congrets, and while his sunset of life g'ows with a mellow light, I his sparkling wit chines like drops of diamond dew at sunrise." Our Evans7ille correspondent announces that the citizsns of that city are overjoyed over the intelligence that Colonel Charles Denby will probably be tendered the Russian mission. The appointment will doubtless be satisfactory to the entire State and whereever the Colonel is known. We refer our readeis to the "special" which appears elsewhere in this morning's Sentinel. Ths organs will feel lonely and disappointed with the settlement of the Postoftice controTersy. They will have more time now to devcte to abusing Colonel Hughes East. By the way, recent pilgrims from the National Capital report that the Colonel is filling his new position with distinguished success. His courteous and gentlemanly de portment has won for him hosts of new friends and admirers. Closing the Interior Department out of icapect of Mr. Buchanan's Secretary of the Interior will blow up the bellows of the bloody shirt organs for a week to come. Those old confederates never will learn anything. Jf they only knew enough to vote the Republican ticket they might secure first-class funerals and Lave Faneuil Hali draped in mourning. Are you looking at us, Jefferson Davis and Robert Toombs ? If the republican Senator Van WycV cf Nebraska, does not quit hta attacks on Republicans he will bo read cut of the party. It will not stand much more monkeying" of that kind. It ii said that he has been seYcrely taken to ta&k by h:s colleagues on the Republican aide. He talks too plainly. Senators Piumb, Hawle y, Teller and Dawes condemn his utterances without the least reserve. If the last administration thought Teller did get awcy with 700,000 acres of public land for the benefit cf Jcy Gould fc Co., these Republican Seraton have served notice on Mr. Van Wyck that he must not talk about it in open Senat. Mr.. II es ry I&visu has accepted an invitation to a dinner in his henor to bs given in New York on Easter Monday. The Invitation is signed by William M. Evarts, George William Curtis, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Thomas F. Bayard, renjamin H. Brewster, Henry Ward Bsecber, Cbauncey M. Depew, William Walter Phelps, Noah Davis, Eiwin Booth. T. B. Aldrich, W. D. Ho wells, George H. Boker. Georg W. Childs, Joseph Medill, Marshall Field, Murat Helstead, John Hay and others. Tha last paragraph of the letter of invitation reads as fellows: "We hot that your resolution to make your present engagement here a final farewell may be reconsidered, and that from j ear to year u portion cf your theatrical season may be reserved for this country, where your welcome will always be hearty and sincere." Mr. Irving has accepted the invitation. He

Sach a di itlcc'.ien, oTrsd by a.i ra ruraiblea be Ij of American citizens, far exceeds n.y d?JTt5. Thu proof of good will must 13)1 most precious."

THS FO3TOPFI0E. The appointment of Aquilia Jones as Postrraster at Indianapolis was made yesterday, and whi'e the Sentinel had no candidate whom it championed for that oihee, we can but congratulate oar citizens upon the selection of Mr. Jones. He ii in every way worthy of the place. Las the confidence of all our business men without regard to party, is one of oar oldest citizens, Las helped aa a leading business man to build up our city, and during his many years residence here baa been identified with some cf the largest Ltcrpiiies cenrected with our growth and presperity. Mr. J&ms was bom in Ncrth Carolina in 111, his parents f migrating to Columbus, led. From that time until l.0 he served in various official capacities as Postmaster, County Clerk, Indian Agent, Census Taker and legislator. In it at year he was elected Treasurer cf State by the Democrats, bat at the end cf his term, two years later, he dediced a rencmiration. He wes made Treasurer of the Indian spoils Rolling Mill Company in InII, and in H73 succeeded to the Presidency. During thst year he also served for some mcntha as President cf the Water Works Company. The hard tirx.es cf tbe pest few years, es iccfelly derrcsiirg to the Iren industries, brought business rtverees to Mr. Jote3; but le epjoja cord bialtb, is still a vigorous, ictive, enmetic. gtntimtn, and will fill the circe cf Pcstrrasur with cxedit to himself t td to tb tatle.'sction of ail concerned. The other cendidetes are ell good men, and would doubtless have made satisfactory officials, and, we doubt not, bow with becoming alacrity to the decision made against them. Democrats have rot failed to note the coue cf the Republican organs during the controversy. Anjthirjg that resembles a serious di "fierce cf opinion among the ranks of the Democrats is hailed with delight by the opposition. The only hope of future Republican success in Indiana lies in the anticipated rupture of the Democracy. It will not be gratified. Factional contentions are expensive luxuries. Let us not indulge in them until we have buried Indiana Republicanism under 2..C00 Democratic majority. TURKEY FOB OHE. Almost eve rjbr.dy seerrs to be tatisfiei that Hon. b. 8. Cox will represent the great Republic at ConstAr tincple, Mr. Cox uniortunate'y bssthe repula'iDnof being a confirmed j:ker. VTe say "unfortutately" because this reputation obscureä his better qualities and attainments, and he is not, therefore, appreciated aa be should be by the people of the United Slates. , The Yashington correspondent of the Commercial Gazette psy3 him soma very handsome compliments which we propose to uss in extenso for lbs benefit of our readers. They are all 11:9 ruoie reliable because they appear in a Republican paper of the strictest aBd Etrai?htest brand. "First, and best of all fcr'him, it can be said that in all this long public service his name ha3 never once been connected vrith a job, or with the interested support of questionable legislation. He has kept his record and his name stainless. His prominence on the door, his influence and relation to the great commercial city of the country, could have been used immensely to his own advantage had he chosen to benefit himself. Bat he has lived through these temptations of Washington, constantly putting them aside and behind him, and has built up for hizcBelf a name as an incorruptible public servant." Tha correspondent speak also cf the regret which will follow when his place in Congress will be vacant. And in regard to his record he says that it is not a matter of party alore. Though always a consistent and often an extreme Democrat, yet, in general attainment, in variety o? effort, in the support of measures lookirg to the general good, in practical work in legislation, in keen debate, in brilliant repartee, in parliamentiary knowledge and skill in entertaining discussion, and ever ready wit, his position rises above party and belongs to that portion of the general history of the House of' Representatives in which men of all parties take a pride. He has always been a student, a persistent reader, an indestrious and entertaining writer, and always a genial gentleman. He has been so long, so widely and so favorably known that his leaving is a matter of general personal interest and regret. The matter of party does not enter. Many of those who will m's him most are aa pronounced in their Republicanism as he has been in hia Democracy. Bat they honor him for his iteadfist integrity and varied attainments The cirreepondent sajs that Mr. Cox has recently grown weary of the hum drum, and parhaps to him monotonous life of a Congressman. He has freqnenfly been a candidate for the Speakership, bat with little hope of success since toe Eastern wing cf his party has heretofore been inclined to take a more radical protection position than he could support, while the West had its own candidates. Eo, on account of hia antagonifms in the Speakership contest he has not received for many years the recognition in committee positions to which his long membership and abilities entitled him. It i not strange that, after a service extending farther back than that of any other member, he should tire of being assigned to secondary positions when he has so long deserved tha bist. His service in Eastern lands wi'l eventually yield rich returns to ths public, since he cannot fail to use his pen for its instruction and entertainment. Althoagh representing a New York city district, his earlier years in Congress were spent as the representative of an Ohio constituency. His father. Ezekiel Tar lor Cox, was a prominent Ohio politician, an i hia grandfather. General James Cox, fougit at Brandy wine, German town and Mja-

mouth, and was an intimate friend of Taomas Jeferson. His mother was the daughter of Samuel Sallivan, Treasurer of OoJo in 1S17, and a man noted for probity of life. In his Ulfth year S. 8. Cox assisted his father in hi9 I.ur cf:ica at nesville, O , and when admitted to the Rar hs knew the twenty ninth volume of Ohio laws almost by heart, and could draw any pi saline: without consulting Chittv. His grandfather, in his will, enjoined upon the boy the necessity of upholding Democratic institution?, and early his tastes were directed to politics. After his graduation in 1340, he studied law with the present Governor Hoadly, and with him went to Cincinnati, where both practiced. He went to Congress in 1350, at the ags of thirty-two years, and served until lSW, repeatedly representing Clark County, a rabidly Republican district He went to New York and lived a private life until lviO. when he again went to Congress from an Irish district, aud has ever since remainel a member.

KIDNAPING A NATURALIZED CITIZEN. We published yesterday a brief dispatch announcing that Robert Ireland, of New York City, had bsen kidnaped by agents of the British Government. Ho wrote to his wife taat he h-id bi?n enticed across the Canadian luid -r by a n.an who gave the cams of John Shield', and who was an English detective in d "s:nie, and had been thrown into j rhou us a deserter from the British army. Mrs. Ireland, almost beside herself with grie., hurried to the District A'forney's cfllce, "My husband," she said, 'was born ia England, but his ptrents moved to Scotland when he ws two years of age. He joined the British army before he was of ega, and wa attached to the pipers of a Highland resirrent stationed near Ayr, Scotland. In lS7d he deeerted, being worn cut by harsh treatment and poor pay, and came to this city. Five years ago he became a citizen of the United States." In the letter he wrote to his wife he said: The man who met me at BuSalo said the date of the engagement was wren;. He said he would male it pleasant for me, and took me to see Niagara Fall. When he got me across i ho river into Cau.iiiA he pave me 7er to the police. I dja't know whether I can st tais postei;.tbey are watching me eo closely. 1 am to be examined tomorrow and ent to Kugland. 1 hare been Benrchcd and all my letters and money havo been taten. 1 had the Oecoy letter and other letter in mr pocet. and they ars snre of me. I have been taken before so;r.a rata I don't know who he n. I a? ked him to let me ga for my wife ani children's take, but he eats the Government is goln? to take everv deserter it can catch, and he ii porry for me, but Le must ohey orders. lie eald I would be ta en at oace to Knsland. The Queen herself, he sajF. can not release me now. Mv Hod! This la rerrlble. Death only Is worst) thtiu this This will protab'y grow into a very grave case, unlss promptly and wisely handled by tha administration at Washington. Tai3 man is a naturalized citizen of tha U&iteJ States, and the District Attorney of New York denounces the arreet and imprisonment as unjustifiable It ia always beat, however, to keep cool upon ail sach occasions, until the Secretary cf State and the Attorney General look up the law in the case, and decide what is the beit policy to pursue. The District Attorney already referred to says: "This is cleaily a cae, supposing it is all that it appears, in my opinion, ought to receive prompt attention from the State Department. The decoying of an American citizsn to Canada, and bi3 arbitrary imprisonment there, are bad enough, but in this case is added snmmarv removal to England for trial on a charge that Is nine years old, and where the defendant, being thousands of miles away from kindred and friends, can not make a successful defense. Granting that Ireland deserted from the British army, there can be little doubt, it seems to me, his arrest and imprisonment arc unjustifiable. For nearly live years ha has been an Americf& citizen, and for most of that time in the public service here. Since he became a citizen of the United Slates he has not offended a;airst anycf the laws of England, civil or mil'tary, and as an unoffending citizen he is entitled to the protection of our Government." NATURAL GAS. Unless the dangers of explosion attending the rise cf natural gas prevent, its general Introduction over the country for purposes of fuel and light seems a certainty within the near future. Already the prices of gas stock in most of the large Eastern cities have taken several tumbles, on Ing mainly to tbe expectation that the natural article will soon supplant the manufactured. The expense of layiDg )the necessary pipes for distribution from the wells in the gas territory to the cities and towns where consumed will be very great; but after this first outlay little money will be required to maintain the supply pipes and pay current expenses. Before the people will fetl satisfied, however, to lave this 4 new explosive" brought through their streets and into their houses a means must be discovered for detecting leaks cr escapes cf the natural gas. Wheth er this can te dene is questionable, since this arifurm Haid is cdoiless, and can per meate the faith and air in the vicinity of a leak until quantities have gathered there abouts snfilcient to produce an artificial earthquake, or a frightful explosion, if ignited, as recently illustrated at Pittsburg and 'sewbere. A few weeks ago the Sentinel contained & lengthy article on Ibe ?as prcdacing districts, taking the ground that this is a "gas age" in the physical condition of the world. Whether a constant flow from wells can be obtained sufficient to supply any consid erable territory for consumption ia another of the unsolved problems connected with the subject. The "Burning Sprirgs" cf West Virginia, situated on tbe B'g Sandy River, seventy miles from tbe Ohio, is a natural spring of gas which pours out from the cleft of a rock in a constant Cow, the volume being a foot in diameter pouring cut with a force equal to a pressure of perhaps thirty peunds to the square inch. For sixty years past this flow is known to have continued constantly at an unabated rate. This would seem to indicate a steady supply, which must flow not from an internal reservoir, but from a

g-enerating process going on all the while in tbe bowels of the earth, and which can, therefore, be expected to continue. If this new agent shall frighten gas companies, into a reduction in the price of their illuminating fiaid in cities and towns where they now chargo exorbitant rates it will have served consumers ar.d the public a good purpese. We fear, however, that Indianapolis is too remote from the wells for the gas company here to take the alarm as have ths Eastern cities

It looks as if we bad arawu a prize in our new Minister to England. Those who know him beet apeak in the highest terms of him. He raised a mighty barrier to preferment when he decided to cast his fortunes in with the Democracy of a State so hopelessly Republican. "Since then," says the Springfield Republican, "he has been the finest orator and greatest lawyer in Vermont, man of ir finite wit and resource, and, amorg aristocrats, west popular, Dut among the sturdy Republicans of Vermont the personification of brain power with none cf the desires of mcst n:en to win public favor. His home in Bnrlington is a marvel of taste and elegance, and ia it he enjoys tbe choice circle 1 1 the small coteiies of wealthy and refined men iu that city. Brought up in the most Democratic way, educated at Middlebury Col?, Mr. Phelps seeai3 like an ezotis in Vermont, so little has he in common with the reop'e ot tha State." Sk.vatoi: Mat. hau. wanted to b funy yesterday in the Banate. He introduced the following resolution: Where a. It appears iht Indiana hm at Jss b?en recognized, tii.l a DolthI has securo-l the t pDintrr.ent t Postmaster Ht Grecacvtle: tn-re-lore. isoIvcd. that the Sauatc do now adjourn until 0 o'clock to-morrow. If djnamite had exploded under his chair he would doubtless have been less agitated than when he heard Senator Hilligasseay "that cf all the Democrats who bad gone to Washington to get ofiice, none had shown a disposition to sssasäinate th& President because they could not get what they wanted." The resolution was laid on the table. There are no Gniteaus in the Democratic party. In co of trie death of Jeir Davis Mr. Endicott mmtcioc me War Depart ment.

E. I). E N. Socthwobtji is sixty-one years old, and hhs just finished her seven .yfirst novel. She is under contract to Robert Bonner to write for him alone, and on demand, at $S,000 a year. The venerable Parker Pjlisbury Is very proud of his record as an anti-slavery lecturer and orator, but indignantly denies the rumor of his return to the pulpit, whicn he vacated many years ago. Gknekal ßr.AGü, ot Wisconsin, locks more capable of making a temperance speech than a violent declaration of political love. He is of almost delicate stature, not the least bit nervous, and delights in slow, sledge-hammer repartee. It is rather remarkable, bat it is true that Jay Gould does not employ an amanuensis. He writes ail his own letters. The word "all" dees not signify "many," for Gould re plies to very few letters, and the communi cations he does write are brief. Mrs. Langtry has put another $25,000 into New York real estate, notwithstanding the recent statement that she can't act worth a cent. That makes ?11j,CO0 she has salted in New York that way. In the face of these facts tne word of the Critic availeth little. Tue Secretary of Mr. Spurgeon'a Sundayechool lately made the following highly original suggeption: "It would be a very good thing if the scripture texts given to the infants were to be printed upon lozenges, in stead cf upon the little bits cf pasteboard, as at present; for not only would the gifts bs more highly valued, but it might be truly said: 'How sweet are Thy words unto my taste.1" At Conccrsville, Ind., still stands the resi dence of Caleb Smith, Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of the Interior. It is a yellow frame house, with a main portion and a smaller end, and probably cost $3,000. Some small cedar trees are on the lawn before it. Smith's neighbors say he looked lite Beecher in size and face. Lincoln was attracted toward him for his "cleverness," and from their mutual Indiana origin. In 1SI0 Smith was a great stumper for Harrison. Jcpge Endicott has been a conservative Democrat for a good many years, but he was formerly Whig, and belonged to the wing or clan of his party which remained Whigs for some time after the xatriotic party bearing this name ceased to have an organized existence. Bat, inasmuch as Mr. Radier tt cast his lot by natural selection with the Democratic party about the time that President Cleveland began to vote, his antecedents are certainly adequate to entitle him to a p'ace In & Democratic Administration. Bcstoa Herald. "Mr. Lamar is a great man," says Senator Allison, of Iowa. "He is well informed, and has that knowledge of public affairs which is eo essential to their successful administration. He is a gentlemanly, dijrnified man. I beiiave him to be kind-hearted and fair. He has the reputation of being hon est, and is able. If tbere were any criticism to be passed upon Mr. Lamar it would not be o: e that would be urged against his intellectual qualifications. It might be a question whether he has tha health to can

him through any tank requiring severe labor, but of that he, of course, Ls a bitter judge than any one else." Mile. Nevapa is creating a veritable furor in San Francisco. She will sing oa alternate nights with Patti ia Chicago next week. Senator Stanford is getting applause from the Pacific slope for his letter to the Central Pacific recommending an eifjrt on the part of the confederated roads to greatly reduce the fruit freight tariff. Secretary Lamar was much distressed by the death pf Assistant Secre'ary Clark. "He was the noblest yc ung man I ever knew," said the Secretary, "and if he had been spared his usefulness in ths Interior Department would have e lictted the admiration of the whole country. His desth has given me the greatest sh:ck ol my life." Profespop. Tkastir, of Nantes, employs the vapor of glycerine with reat advantage when a caugh becomes distressing or fatiguing. Fifty or sixty grammes are placed in a porcelaine capsule and evaporated over a spirit lamp. An enormous amount of vapor is disengaged. In phthi&is and variona other afiections much relief is gained in this way. Postmaster General Vilas said in Washington recently: "Everything isrunniog like clock-work in my department. My predecessor left the office in good shape and there has been no need of reorganization. I find that the clerks are competent and attentive to businet-a. I am enforcing the civil service rules. There will be no discharges of employe se, except for neglect of duty." Walt Whitman, who will be sixty-s'x years old in May, is in his usual physical condition. A friend says that, notwithstanding his paralysis, poverty, the embezzlement of book agents, the incredible slanders and misconstructions that have followed htm through life, and the "quite complete failure cf his book from a worldly and financial point of view," hia equanimity and good spirits remain unimpaired, and ho is to-day, amid bodily helplessness and a most meager income, more vigorous and radiant than ever. Love rules a kingdom of contrasts. Heine, dreaming cf angels, married a grisette. Freytag turned from courts to a kitchen, and espoused hia housekeeper. Bacon, master of philosophy, was joined to a woman who had a loud voice and dressed like a chambermaid out cn a holiday. What is more piteous than poor Keats pouring out all the typical luxuriance of his soul to Fanny Brawn. He is a poet, she a feminine common-place. Idolatry on tbe one side, a mingling ot curiosity and vanity on the Otoer.

CURRENT THOUGHT AND OPiMOX. R. S. Gasoin;, cf eueca Falls, announces "a new. departuie" in the undertaking line. Be has c opyrighted an "undertaker's burial contract" by which he agrees, in consideration cf tbe sum of $2, to furnish a person dying within ore year from date of contract with a $75 funeral. This idea, though novel, eeeras to involve the same princip'e as llfeinsuraui s companies. Rochester Democrat. It really would seem that the Legislature can not well hesitate to help the maimed soldiers of North Carolina. A Legislature that has been so liberal in responding to the claims of education and recommendations of officials, ought not to refuse to give some help to meritorious soldiers who were maimed for life in defense of what we all believed to be sacred and just, and in obedience to tbe call of North Carolina Wilmington (N. C.) Star. Dr. Felix S. Oswald earnestly maintains that instead of "cold weather," "raw March winds," "co'd draughts in other words, cutdoor air of alow temperature" belog the cause of cold3 or catarrhal afiections, it is the warm, vitiated iodoor air that is the cause, while cold outdoor air is the bsst cure. He declares that there is no doubt that by exercise a cae rrh can be gradually "workel off," and that tha combination of exercise, abstinence and fresh air will cure the most obstinate cold. Philadelphia Record. General Hazek's reflections on the Secretary of War with reference to the Greely expedition justified the President in ordering a Court martial. Malice will be charged, no doubt, as in the Swaim care, but the charge will have as little foundation. When General Hazen presumed to plats upon the Eecretary of War the responsibility for the loss of so many members of the Greely party, he was probably gailtvof "conduct prejudicial to sooi order and military discipline." Times Star. A pleasant indication that the exclusiveness which has generally characterized the E disco pal Church is yielding to a more fraternal spirit, is afforded by the arrangement for lenten services mads by Dr. Fulton, rector of an Episcopal church in St. Louis. He has invited six ministers, representing as lu&py Protest rU denonitnatioos, to deliver a course of lectures on the ''Christian Evidences" in his church on the Sunday evening during Lent, it should be stated that Bishop Rtert83n gives tbe project his inLerMmenr. The oiiginul purpose was to precede the lectures by extempore devotional services, but at the request of the several speakers full evening prayer will be read. Dr. Fulton is widely known as a faithul churchman, as well as a broad and catholic Christian. Chicago Advance. Eaitrr Cards. The ideal Enter dsign is the symbolic one.
