Bevesty persona were drowned near Shanghai yesterday, the result of a collision Df s'earners. The French Ministry resigned yesterday, Hochefort, the national blatherskite of France, demands the head of Monsiar Ferry, It Is amusing to note the lofty scorn with bicu Republicans who hare been feeding at tbs public crib fcr twenty four years regard the Democratic seekers after office. The backwardness of the season is spoken of all over the land. This, remarks the Dal las Herald, Is perhaps the cause for Mr. Cleveland's deliberate mode of decapitating Republicans. He wants the daisies to grow so as to give the victims a chance to Iura their toes üd to them Mr. Cox will doubtless accept the Turkish frnUton. He sjys that he has desired for Omany years to get out cf the rut of politics and follow literature. His friends have ob Served that he Lis latterly taken lees interest in public affairs than formerly The clu'jj will hate a beneficial e fleet upon him. The C o'3us of the United States Senate is Xeland Stanford, of California, who is, with perhaps the exception of Vanderbilt and Jay Gould, the wealthiest man in America. He is said to be worth $7." 000,000, and Do'swsei ranches, vineyards, rallread, Zninea and other luxuries. He began life about sixty years ago a poor farmer's bay. The rapid increase of the wine industry of California is something marvelous. Statistics Bhow that In IS IS there were only 30,000 vines in all California. In 13G2 there .-were 9,500,000; in 1SS1, 04.000,000, and 13S2-63-81 vast numbers of new vines were planted and new vineyards laid out The annual yield of wine in California is estimated at about 15,000,000 gallons, nearly one thiid of which is made in Los Angeles CuLty. Mu Coleman, the new Commissioner of Agriculture, it is whispered, rea'.ly knows something about farming and agriculture generally. In speaking of the rarity of such an appointment the New York San says: The chief fault, from a Republican point of .View, to be found with the selection of Mr. Gorman J. Coleman to be Commuaioner of .Agriculture is that he is said to be a practical agriculturist. This is contrary to the traditions of the place. From a Democratic point of view the nomination will be acceptable." The New York World, in referring to the ytcent PcstofSce controversy in this city, Bays: "Mr. Hendricks has been permitted to suggest the new Postmaster at Indianapolis, and naturally he has selected a personal and political friend. This courtesy was certainly due the Vice President. As a private citizen of Indianapolis bis indorsement would Lave ibeen worth something in the naming of a Postmaster, and as a man who has twice leen elected to the second office ia the Republic his suggestions are entitled to "Weight." Tat: National Republican, of Washington, Bays that Congressman O'Neill, of Missouri, tad one of his colored constituents call on Iiim recently for an cfiice. As he could 'Seither read nor write, the Congressman told him ha had a poor chants. He wanted to be a letter-carrier, and insisted upon go ing before the Civil Service Commission to 2e examined. The very first question par alyzed him. He wai asked to describe the Shortest route between Londoa and Calcutta, via the Suez Canal. ' Gemmen,' said the .darkey, rising, ef dit'sde route what you gwine to gib me, I dean want it. I done 7's gn rite now," and eut he walked. Matt ef.s thr.t annoyed and worried other presidents do cot have aay bad effect on the new President He takes everything "very coolly and cslmly, and examines caredully all that demands his attention. He gets ud early and dos a good day's work every day. He cares not very much what the Republican press say about him. A correspondent says that a friend of the President suggested to him the other day that a certain appointment, which it was known !trould particularly please a certain newspaper, and secure its friendship to the ai-

Tiiniatration, miht be advisable on that aocount. Hia reply was: "Oh, well; they have all got to come to it anyway." He does, In fact, btlieve that eTery reputable newspaper in the United 8tatej is bound to come to hi3 support, because he does not intend to do anything as President of the United States which reputable journals can eucceed in persuading their readers is wrong.

f-XATION AND REPRESENTATION. llr. John R. Winston, of North Carolins, who is collecting information concerning taxation and representation, has written an article upon the subject, in which he gives some astonishing facts. .The census of 1330, he says, shows that there sue 17,000.000 peo pie in the Unit?d 8ta'e engaged in gainful occupations. Of these 7.000 000, or sevenseventeenths of the whole, are engaged in agriculture, and yet of the 400 members of Congress two only are agriculturists. Tne other great productive industry, maaufactaring, fares but little better in representation. The eleven-seventeenths of the population (manufacturers, agriculturist, and those dependent upon them), owning threefourths of the total wealth of the Nation, are practically without representation in the Government, to the support of which they contribute 35 per cent, of expenses; while six seventeenths of the population those engaged in trade and transportation, personal and professional service, owning less than one-fourth of the Nation's wealth, and payicg 15 per cent, of Government expenses have absolute control. The 61,000 lawyers have almost 200 times more representation In Congresi than the 7,000,000 farmers. Woiss still, Representatives are too often but the agents or attorney? of a'sociated capital. FRAUDULENT RAILWAY ENTERPRISES. The great Nickel Plate Railroad has been thrown into the hands of a receiver. The security holders of the Ohio Central Road fcave brought suit against the Metropolitan National Bank et al., "asking for an account ing in relation to the $5000 ,000 subscribed to build the River division." This announcement gives but a hint to the public of one of the blackest pages in the history of railroai construction in Amer ica. The building of both these lines by Thomas, Brice, Eeney and associates was a speculation of the wildest and moat desper ate character. The securities were sold to whomsoever would buy, for raising the necessary money to construct and equip the lines. The cheaply and poorly built Nickel Plate was unloaded, a? the projectors intended, upon Vandsrbilt, who was frightened into it by the fear of destructive competition with his Lake Shore Road. That Vanderbilt was fleeced is a truth which little concerns the people, who ha7Q no sympathy for him. He can afford to lose the Nickel Plate, The Ohio Central was a somewhat different scheme. Out of its building the Siney 87ndicate made a fortune in selling securities for thrible the sum actually spent in instruction and for rolling stock. Ejpesially tearing was this fraud In the River division work, from Corning to Fomeroy, O. Besides their share in the spoils from sale of stock and bonds, Brice, Thomas and Seney took the contract for building this portion of the road. They were to do this under certain specifications, which were not complied with. They did the work in the cheapest manner, had the road taken off their hands at the full estimate figures and pocketed a handsome margin. The security holders, who have been investigating the transactions of Seney and his associates, have found out much of the real modus operandi pursued by them, and will probably compel a satisfactory showing of accounts through the legal proceedings instituted. Unless something is done to prevent this species of fraud in railroad buildirg to protect investors from being robbed by scurvy railroad schemes people in this country and Europe will Dot put money into even meritorious new projects, and It will be long ere another boom in construction of new lines comes. The Legislatures of every State should enact measures to prevent genteel scoundrels from fleecing investors by what is really obtaining money under false pretenses. UNDERGROUND TELEGRAPHY. The Pennsylvania Legislature, through a derate committee, have been investigating tbe question of underground telegraphy. The leading argument was made against the system by Mr. M. E. Olmstead, of Harrisburg. The points he made are worthy of consideration, as this question has been occasionally discussed in this State. Messages may be sent under ground, as well as under water, but the best that ecience has been able to do for the underground system is to make it bear about the same relation to overhead lines that canals do to railroads. The advanced methods of rapid telegraphy can not be operated successfully on long distances where part of the wire is under ground. The Hon. William Henry Rawle, of Philadelphia, sitting as Master in Equity, had taken the fullest testimony of experts, and in a recent opinion had declared that, no satisfactory method had yet been devised to supercede the overhead wires. Even if they could be operated successfully, the underground system is so expensive as to increase the cost of telegraphy and prevent its use for many of the purposes to which it is now adapted. Meseages sent 3,000 miles under water cost forty cents per word. From New York to San Francisco they are eent overhead at five cents per word. The overhead lints were erected at great expense under charter contracts of the State, which would be violated if their removal is compelled. The bill is therefore in conflict with the Federal Constitution, which prohibits the States from impairing such contract?. As the lines re used for inter-State commerce, their removal or the increase of the eost of telegraphy by this bill would violate also the commercial clause of the Constitution and

fce act of Congress of 18C3, under which the W stern Union Telegraph Company is maia n agent of the United States. Mr. Olmstead, in replying to the question hetier or cot the State could remove the I oles and wires in the exercise of the polica power, replied that he thought not; bit thtt ;f it cculd it would be a taking of private t :operty for public ues, and the bill would be invalid unless it made provision for cornI ensation to the companies, as required by the Constitution of the State and also by the CcLslitution of the United States.

GENERAL LEE'S SWORD. General Early has written a letter denying the recent story that General Grant refuted to accept the sword of General Lee, General Early says thai the sword was never tendered to General Grant, and the latter therefore had no opportunity to receive or return it after it had been surrendered, but by the express terms of the capitulation all ihe officers of General Lee's army were allowed to retain their side arms, as well as their horses or other private property, and all couriers and mounted men of the artillery and cavalry whose horses were private property were to be allowed to retain them. He refers to what was written by a Doctor Jone), which was done with the sanction of Mrs. Lte, who gave Jones a?c-ss to General L t's privav aud effioial correspondence. Thj facts, according to this scurce, fee ni to be something like the?. General Leo a:d before going to meet Grant he Ufc orders with L jngstreet and Gordon to luld thir commands in readings, as he was dileraiiocd to c it his way through or pemh in the attempt if such term were net agreed to ai hi tnought h'u army were entitled to denavl In th9 last and only interview that Early had after the war, which the latter says was in 13'ii, that Lee talked very freely with him and reiterated in the moat emphatic manner the fact ai related regarding the sword. Early consludes h;s talk as follows: "It was not to Grant's magnanimity that General Le was indebted for the privilege of retaining his sword or for the terms granted to his army, bat to h"i3 own resolute will and the anxiety of Graut to obtain the surrender of an adversary who ha4 thwarted him so long. There is, than, 9 little truth iu thii story about G3neril Lee's sword as there is in the famous appletree fiction. It would seem that the time for Grant to have displayed his magnanimity toward the defeated Confederates was when he occupied tte Presidency of the United States for eight years. How he thea displayed it lot impartial history tell." OSCAR HENDERSON. Mr. Henderson's appointment to the Coliectorship of Internal Revenue for the Eleventh District of Indiana will doabtles3 nive entire satisfaction throogout his district and wherever Mr. Henderson is known, lie is the editor of the Kokonio Dispatch, cno of the beat weekly papers in Indiana, The paper g'vea constant evidence of conenmrnate ability and prudent management. The revenue office under Mr. Henderson will be satisfactorily handled. Of this his .'ritnds feel confident. MR. MAGEE. The feeling expressed in the hearty congratulation of Hon. Rufus Magee by members of the General Assembly yesterday prevaded the entire community. It wis not confined to party, for Republicans joined Democrats with equal enthusiasm. The appointment was universally regarded as a reward af merit and one that will never be dishonored. Mr. Magee has to recommend him youth, culture, talent aud integrity it is absolutely above criticism. Tnx difference between the blue book of to-day and the one of twenty-five years rgo is remarkable. Some one, in speaking of the one for 13 GO, says: "This little book tells an interesting tale. It ia only an octavo volume of about 100 pages, and there are less than 25,000 name3 iu it, including all the military and naval officers of the Government, The official register of to day c Jntalis the names of about 176.000 Government employe?, and it takes two large quarto volumes to record them, aud printed in very fine type, while the earlier one is iu a larger font. The difference between the two works, which were both printed to keep in enduring form the names of the men who were in the service of the Government, have a far broader significance than the discrepancy in their sizes. A comparison of the two is the best illustration I have ever had of the mighty changes that the last forty .years have wrought en the personnel a3 well is in the methods of governmeat." The English troops, unable to make head ray against the Mahdi in the Soudan, and the French rented in Tcnquin and in full retreat at last accounts, (how that the Eure peans are not likely to have their on wy much longer in lighting the Celestials and the Modammedans in the Eastern Hemisphere. The cry of ihe Caucasians in 1'Oth instances is thus far reinforcements. Toe Mongolian is proving himself a brave soldier and opposes the advance of hia enemy with an nnexpected stubbornness. The Chinese have a-.quiredVonsiderable skill In the use of firearms and can handle their batteries very effectively. On the whole, France and Great Britain are not having the "picnic" they expected in Asia and Africa thus far. Mb. Clevilasd went to church last Sunday. The reason he decided not to go to Dr. Eartlett'a church is related in a Washington telegram, which says: "Apropos of Mr. Cleveland's avoidance of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, where all hearts were palpitating in eager expectation of receiving him into that fold, it crops out that tbe vulgar officiousness of a former pastor of the church was the cause of the President's action. This pastor went from here to Buffalo, and there became intimate with Rev. Ball, of ma&ioui memory, and joined hands with that clerical blackguard in his crusade

acainat Mr. Cleveland. Naturally, aud very properly, the President was averse to cssting his epiritual fortunes with a congregation to which his defamer had at one time administered, and by which was supposed still to be held in cordial remembrance." As already stated in the Sentinel the President fins taken a pew at Dr. Sunderland's church. On Sunday he was accompanied by his sister. Miss Cleveland, and their gue3ts, Mrs. and Mifs Folsoni, widow and dauguter cf the late Oscar Fo'soai. Miss Folsom is a very handsome young woman, and is reported to be the President's fiance. The church was crowded, and ths departure of the Presidential party at the conclusion of the ssrvics was the signal for a popular ovation, minus only the cheering and hand clapping.

There will be some curiosity to know way Mr. Edward J. I'helps, aay more than any other re pfCtab!e somebody in the United States, was appointed Minuter to Great Briuia. Charitstju (. C.) Couiier. The Charleston New an 1 Conrier will ba comforted when iilams Mr. Pheip was an opponent of the war, and dec'ared Abraham Lincoln a wooden man." Jozrnal. Mr. Phelps has given the l.e to a good deal cf tbe sort of stuff implied and expressed in the foregoing. A New Haven (Conn.) special of the ."0th tays: Profeisor IhIp, the recently-appointed Minister to the Court of ot. Jaue-, fciud last nUht in reference to the article fint prmteo in the Nw York Times in ISM), aud reproduced in the New Yoik Tribune, ptirptr ing to be a report of a eiiet-eh d.iivertrd oy him in l'Soi, in wrwch he is liioits 1 a calling Lineoln "a twentieth ra'e bcfceonnty attorney, without a sinla qualihcation or i MA'esrcrti " and as cbarctrrzi;it- the AboliU!ici'i9 ah "a iouK-ha'rod, miserable, dry cretunv, who went a twit the coat; try t- 'ick up their dirty hftiid-r ilia and hve & imctin:" ! oeuy ilt;s;etfcer havin? used in any sneech in my ljf .ch grcss, oB'euMve aal tm-li ;n i ri d Uuguage as U contained in the artieie uieuaoned." .As. showing wnat vaiue President Cleve Ui d puts upon Ions petitions and incessant importunities of office-seekers, the following is related by a correspondent: A yonuR Democrat from one of the back: counties of Pennsylvania arrived at one of the uptown hotels last nisht After supper he came ont Into tue lobby, where he met an old Pennsylvania friend. He snowed the latter a numeroa.y kigned petition indorsing him for an ofiice -Tit.iin the j?if t of tho President. IIa said he was sorry he D&d been delayed, ai he was auxious that the President (should j.ee his papers as fooa as possible. His friend advised him to pat his petition in his pocket, taite the first train for home and qaietly wait lor the President to forward his nomination to the Senate. "But," protested tho youns Democrat, "I defire the President to Know how slrously I am iadorsl for the position 1 see'." "My dear boy," said his friend, "if yon rsally extecan appointment take my advice aud throw your petition äown the nearett Rawc." Onk day last week the overseers of Har veri University took decisive action regarding the faculty and the new departure of that body in voting recently to dispense with the 8tudyof Greek as a requiremsnt Tu overseers emphatically resolved that the rqcirements for ad mssion in 1S35 hall be ttcse of 1SS1, and that no change shall be made until ordered by the board ot overseers. A special committee was appointed to consider whether the faculty has not been infringing upon the legitimate powers of the over?teJ3. As the faculty claims exclusive jurisdiction over the college curriculum, an interesting quarrel is pendine. Will wonders never cease? Both House) of the Texas Legislature have passed the constitutional amendment prohibiting the introduction and sale of intoxicating liquors iu that State. The question will be submit ted to the people for their approval or rejec tion in August next. The probabilities are that n:acy temperance men and women frcm aorcad will canvass the State during the summer. TEKSONALS, Jay Gon n is not in the ice busines?, but he is the next thing to it. He handles blocks of stock which are principally consolidated water. The late Secretary Folger all his life be lieved that there was a charm for him in the number three. He laughed at it, but let it dominate him. On his first play Yictorien Sar5oa built nothing but hopes, but on his last work he erected a sumptuous mansion at Nice, which in gratitude he names the Villa Theodora. Whin Minister McLane arrives in Paris he can revive his old boy-days in that city, where he was at school more than fifty years ago, and be will find Victor Hugo and some more of the old boys still on hand. Lcuis Kossuth, now living at Turin, has completely recovered his health, and pro poses, no doubt, to devote the entire summer to reading his obituaries, lately printed in all languages in all civilized countries. The President's manuscript is said to be positively painful to decipher. Tbe style is eharp and decisive, and many of the worls end in marts that are little more than nervous fbaaes of the hand. He writes with alniott a telegrapher's rapidity. ßiR Michael Hicks-Bc ach, the new Tory leader in the Hcuse of Commons, is undoubtedly the mo&t stirring man on the front Opposition bench and promises tbe the meet aggressive leader. He is credited with being an uncompromising enemy of Rottia and an extreme advocate of the for ward school of imperialism. Thirtt five years i0 Dr. 8cnderUnd was pa&tor of a Presbyterian church in Buffalo aid came from that city to Washington. Among those who attended his church there was Mrs. Cleveland, the President's mother, and in all probability the little boy Grover was often taken to bear the man who will now preach to him as President. Mas. Jclii Ward Hcwk, who is doing all scrts of good work in New Orleans, is going to give parlor lectures for the benefit of the Bentheim Art Union. One of her most pop ular lectures is "Men's Women and Women's Women," and the Crescent City girls utilize Solomon's tajing, slightly paraphrased, One of wheni we are wh?ch." Mr. Philps, the cew Minister to England, has no fortune. He has always earned large fets in hia practice, but he is extravagant, and has therefore saved nothing of any consequence from his practice. Mr. Phelps is tall, with a alight, elegant figure. He always dresses in black, and has great dignity of manner. Mrs. Phelps Is a very bandsoois

woman, a little above medium height Sae is quite fond of society, and has a small fortune of about $30.000, which was paid to her by one of her husband's clients who knew Mr. Phelps' faculty of (pending moneyi and eo, with Mr. Phelpa' consent, paid the money over to her. Mr. and Mrs. Phelps are at present in mourning for an only sou. Who would think that Ex-Secretary Chandler would permit himself to bs bothered by such visionary influences as counting white horses for luck? He counts every one that he sees until he reaches thirty-nine, aud then he begins over tgiin. Speaking of this once, he said he had often wondered why he did eo, for his reason told him that it was ncniecse, yet he felt uncomfortable unless te did. Among the page? in tbe House of Repretentative at Washington, one, a bright, manlj-Iocking. little ftllow, with a :iuelyshated head and a frank, honest fae, is a creat-pxaedton of Prfsident Madison, another is a great grandson of President Tyler. Tbeie are tome others among the pag3a who axe defended from men once prominent in tbe fcisrory of the country. One, for instance, by the name of Trenhoira, is a grandfon of Trenhclm, who was a member of the Confederate cabinet. There are several too who are dec?ndsnta cf members of x Congress, and others who exp?ct to become members of Congress themselves. In this laudable ambition tby are encouraged by the presetjc ot several men in Congress at the present moment vrho were pages when boys. Senator Gorman, th Senator from Maryland, wa3 once a psge in the Senate, while in the House are a number of members who once served as pages upon that same floor, among the number being Woodward, Townsend, Post, of Pennsylvania, and Wise, of Virginia.

A Worthy Member of the Hoase. I Communicated. 1 The House contains several members who are deserving of more than passing mention. prominent among whom may be named Hon. Thomas M. Smith, Representative from Warrick County. He was a soMier during the War of the Rebellion, and served his country faithfully on the field. For six months he was an inmate of Andersonviile Prison, and in every emergency proved his conrage and fidelity. Mr. Smith is also a soldier of tne Cross, and as a minieter of the gospel has added not a little to the record of the Houte for morality by bis walk and ex ample, and in nearly every instance has sus tained with credit a leadiag part in legislation. He Is a man of family, and has four children to call him father. Mr. Smith is a candidate for the 8uperintendency of the KnigUtätown Sol diers' Orphan Home, and his candidacy combines all the esnential qualities requisite for filling the office acceptably. The House and Senate have almost unanimously united in recommending him for this placs, and if ability and merit are regarded in the nopjintment of a bopenntendent, Mr. 8mith will receive tbe place without trouble or competition. The writer was a comrade of Mr. Smith's during thewaraad knows him to be eminently qualified for the position as a gentleman, a soldier, and a Damocrat. Tbe best evidence of a man's worth is the endorsement and recommendation of his neighbors and intimate associates. Tais ap proval Mr. health, has in its fullest sense and none would rbjoice more, in the event he received this appointment, than those who have known him longest and best. March 2S. W. P. K.

Amsmoclatcd Ttread. Ammoniated taking powders; that is, baking powders in which carbonate of ammonia is used as an ingredient, and which exhale an odor of atnmonia when h sated, are classed by many eminent physicians aai sanitarians as superior to all others Professor Hassell. of London, who is recognized as highest authority on tbe subject of fool hygiene, commends in tho et'onget term the me of carbonate of ammonia as a leavening agent, stating its great advantage to be in its perfect volatility, which permits it to be, by the heat of baxinz. entirely throwa into leavening gas, whereby tbe bread Is raised. The expetiraeat with heat would seem to Indicate the superior, not the inferior, value of such baking powder. Th little heat that is imparled to it when held over a eaa jet, lamp, or stove, suffices to r-t-olve the carbonate of ammonia into leavening gas and throw it off. The first heat of baking, therefore, will effectually develot ail the gas, thoioaghly leaven the loaf, and dissipate the as-producing ingredients of a pftwdr of this kind, and this is the hiebest left of a perfect bating powder. Where other alkalies alone are used they are not infrequently retained, unresolved, through tbe whole process of baking, and remain an unwholesome ingredient in the finished bread. The carbora'e of ammonia can not be used as a substitute for cream of tartar. New York Weekly Tribune. C0UU1-UOUSE LOl'lLS.

The last plague was the death of the first born in every Egyptian household and among the domestic animals of the Egyptians. The Israelites were exempt from this disaster, but in order to avoid the dread insitation it was neceaary that the blood ot the Paschal lamb be sprinkled upon their door posts, that the angel ot death would be able to discriminate between I lit hi and their task masters. The order releasing ttem was so quickly maie that there was no time to make leavened bread betöre preparing for the journey to the premised land, and so cakes of unleavened bread were made.

And on the filtcentn day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord. Eeven days ye must eat unleavened bread. Tbe first and last days of the seven referred to are obierved by sacred ceremonies, and the remaining days as anv other holiday. There has never been a time when the Jews hae fail el to observe this holiday.
