Bismarck has also told the Bundesrath that the antiJelvish agitation is against his wishes. The Crown Prince Frederick William , if not the Emperor also, has still less sympathy with the movement.

WASHINGTON.

Washington, April 21. Secretary Windom is likely to have his time all occupied in hearing appeals from decisions made by his predecessor during the past four years, regarding the rate and method of collecting the duties on various importedarticles, unless he abandons his-present programme. Yesterday he gave up several hours to the cot ton tie and hoop iron manufacturers, who argued against the rulings of the late Secretary , Mr. Sherman. Saturday the manufacturers of worsted goods are to have a hearing to urge the revocation of the ruling of Mr. Sherman affecting their interests, . an d.- they will probably be followed by the sugar men, who have taken renewed hone from the recent decision of the United States court in New York against colored sugars, and now propose to ask Secretary Windom to rescind the existi n sr order p rob i bi ting the importation of Demerara sugars as low grade sugars. A Democratic Senator, who made a canvass of the Senate, says that thirteen on his side of the chamber will vote against the confirmation of Judge Robertson. The speech of Senator Frye yesterday has greatly stirred up Democratic Senators, and they profess to believe that Secretary Blaine prompted ii. and . that it reflects : his views' They allege that the speech Will depri ve the ad m i nis trat ion of the support of many Democrats in the

. id

Senate in the mutter of confirmations, and will in other respects increase the opposition to tho Administration. The National Republican, partly owned by General Brady, has nothing to say editorially regarding the latters forced resignation .as Second Assistant Postmaster General. It is the purpose of the Republicans to compel the pemoemts to produce evidence to sustain their charge of a corrupt bargain with Senator Mahone or withdraw it, and in the future keep quiet It is ascertained authoritively that there is no truth whatever that First Assistant Postmaster General Tyner is to retire from his present position and that his resignation has been called for. The President and General James both have the utmost . jnfidence in General Tyner,a t either desires him to leave the department. Senator Jonas to-day received a dispatch from Lieutenaut Governor McEnery, of Louisiana, in regard to the Heath outrage case, recently spoken of by Mr. Dawes. Mr. McEuery telegraphed that Heath's property was insured fur $4,000, but after the tire the insurance adjusters valued it at only $1,400 ; that the charge of bur niuc property to get the insurance was made agaiust Heath, and is now being investigated by the Grand Jury. Mr. Jonas says he intends to submits this telegram in some remarks this afternoon, that it may go on record. It is reported to-day that ox-Senator B, K. Bruce, of Mississippi, will succeed First Assistant Postmaster General Tyner, and the latter probably will be provided with a plaea abroad.

Washington, April 22. The Post characterizes the statement about General Brady being mixed up wrongfully in the "star-route" -contracts as purely sensational and says his resignation was asked for by the President as a favor to him, and was not based upon developments, or the resul t of any in vestigation. Postmaster General James disavows any agency, in .the.-movement which led to Bra y's resignation. The great men of Maryland are much pleased at the appointment of Colonel Adreon as Postmaster ..of Baltimore, who was for Grant's nomination at Chicago. Tho appointment does not please tho Blaine or Sherman faction in that 'State, but they concede that Adreon will make an efficient Postmaster. Professor Bell created quite a sensation at the meeting of the National Academy of Sciences yesterday by the reading of a paper entitled "The Production ol Sound by Radiant Energy,"

in which be said he had made the important fCieutiMc discovery that sonorousness would be found to be a general property of all matter when. expo 3ed to the actiou of a rapidly-interrupted beam of sunlight. The scientists,, who were present at the meeting in large numbers, were very en thuias tic over this new1 discovery, a3 narrated in the paper, and the academy passed a vote of thanks. to Professor Bell. The acad emy will adjourn sine die to-night. Republican Senators will doubtless meet in caucus to-morrow. The purpose of the meeting is to bring about the holding of one or more executive sessions at an early date, in order to dispose of some portion of the accumulated business, but with the understanding that the contest over the election of. officers will be renewed. The irregular transactions which have been uncovered in the contract office of the Postofliee Department, by the investigation of Postmaster General James, are the principal topics of discussion throughout the city to-day, especially in the executive departments. The case agaiust General Brady and his: friends has been presented in its complete; shape to President Garfield, and instructions at once given to complete the evidence and lay the whole subject, including the accumulated mass of documents, affidavits and various descriptions of incriminating memoranda, before the Attorney General. It is reported, and probably true, that while Judge Tyner was cognizant of the 1 'star route" operations, and long ago manifested a disposition to expose them, both he and General Key were overruled by General Brady, whose power in the Post Office seems, in . view of recent developem en ts, to have been almost absolutely supreme. President Garfield has declared to leading Republican Senators his earnest desire that the peidiug nominations be confirmed, especially the most important ones. He spoke of the embarrassments to the Administration and some of its departments and divisions becauss of unfilled vacancies in important positions. The sentiment among Republicans in favor of confirming .important nominations has been growing of late, and ihe request of the President has determined the Republicans to hold a caucus for the consideration of this matter, and to arrange for an executive session. The caucus will be held before the middle of next week, and some Republican Senators favor the holding of it to-moj row. The caucus may select a list of unobjected nominations for confirmation. There are pending 154 nominat ions, most o f which have not been referred to committees. A meeting of the Judiciary Committee has been culled for to-morrow morning to consider the nominations before that, committee, the most prominent of . which is Stanley Matthews. The Republicans are preparing for. executive session, but declare they will hold control of the business and will not surrender the present right. ... Powder Mill Kx plosion . Binghampton, N.' Y., April 21. About half past 7 this morning two terrible and almost simultaneous explosions occurred from nitro glycerine in the niter vaults' of the .Dittraan Powder Works in this city. About five minute afterwards 10,000. pounds of sporting powder in the storehouse, about 100 feet from the niter vaults, ignited . and caused another terrific explosion. Buildings were demolished and scattered in every direction, and property destroyed for miles around. Fences were blown to splinters and tiees uprooted. Many buildings in the neighborhood were badly shattered, and windows two and three miles away were blown out, by the concussion. Theuhock was distiucly

fel t forty miles a way. i o seriously hurt. The man in the niter vault discovered which was caused by the"

mixture of acids. He warned the

other workmen, and they fled before the explosion occurred. I.orri BoacoiiKnoltf. London, April 20.

LOVE WAS LORD OF ALL.

BY aiAKY REED CKoWBLJU Mrs. Steele was frowning, one of her eoldestjhauhtiest frowns, and her pene tratiug bluo" eyes were looking straight in Genevieve's face. A saucy, piquant, pretty face, in delicate rose and ' pale olive tints, with well-opened eyes that did not shrink rem Mrs; Steele's velvety bronzebrown eyes, " full of resolution and iuteHgence. for all their lovely liquiduess. Bhe was Steele all over, from her broad, white forehead, where the brown hair rippled from its snowy parting down to the dainty little pink ears, to the high-arched foot that was especially a "Steele peculiarity. " And by being "all Steele" was meant she was resolute, and decisive, and independent a girl whose judgment was to be depended on, whose impulses did not run away with her sense a sensible cheery, happy, healthy girl. Hei mother, sitting in her high hacked rocking-chair "the chair of state" Genevieve called it laid the newly-opened letter down in her lap, took off her gold-rimmed eyeglasses, and frowned'at her daughter, because her daughter had, after her silent reading of tlie ? letter, returned it to her mother with the remark: . . ;il dare say Aunt Juliet, means to be very kind, but I shal! no nept her invitation on thoe tenu ' "I don't see why, Genevieve. 1 wish you would remember that every such invitation from my sister diminishes our expenses very materially, besides affording you chances you. would not otherwise enjoy of seeing people and sol tl ing for life." Genevieve's eyes Hashed long before her mother's deliberate remark was ended. 1 'Don' t mention i t to me, mam ma ; you would not if you knew how itor ribly re vol ting it is. Yes , expenses are reduced every time one of us goes to Aunt Juliet's for the season, and, so far, my sisters have succeeded in being married off, while you and I here at home were going without the necessaries, of life to further their plans. Mamma, T tell yon I'm thoroughly disgusted Vtith ii ud. I don't want lo go to Long Urancli with Aunt JuUet. I don't want to gc husband-catchmg, I prefer to stay here with you, mamma." She ended her brisk, indignant pro :est with an affectionate little sentence that certainly should ha ve been very consoling to Mrs. Steele. 'I am sure you are a very strange child, Genevieve I cert'dniy fee! very grateful to my Fister for all she has done for Augusta and Isadore, and no less for the great kindness he displays "m inviting you on her summer campaign, at id for so thoughtfully inclosing these two $100 notes to 'renovate your wardrobe.' I really wish you to obey me in this affair, and accept the invitation." Genevieve began to display even more than her usual hauteur, aud by the way she held her head up, so perfectly respectful for all its positive n ess. Mrs. Steele knew there was a battle in prospect. "I could not thin k of going, mamma, uuder the circumstances. So far as accepting Aunt Juliet's charity, I have no silly hesitation whatever, for she is rich and can afford to buy the pleasure of young people's society; but," and her father's look came start tingly plain ail over her lovely face, "it is because I know to a certainty that Aunt Juliet intends to leave no atom unturned to bring about a 'mulch,' as the uabiushingly calls it, between Lance Fielding ami myself, and it shocks, and angers, and ill gusts me. Nor under any circumstances will I go, unless auntie positively promises that her pet animal shall not be paraded for my benefit, or I exhibited for his." Mrs. Steele smiled frostily. "Quite a dissertation for one so .unskilled in society lore. Almost auy young lady would feel enraptured at ihe Max pie prospect of meeting Lance Fielding young, rich as Crcesus, or will be when iiis mother dies, handsome as :pollo, and a most charming, teeth ed gentleman what I call a thoroughbred society man the very one above all others I would rejoice with pride unspeakable to see you married" Then Genevieve's eyes displayed a sodden mutiny that warned Mrs. Steele, if she intended to . cany this bailie, her moment had come. So she hesitated a second in her speech, and then look another tack. 'You may consider it settled without, any more ditiOtt&siou on the subject. Of course you can use your own discretion in the matter so far as Mr. FaeUliup or any other gentleman are concerne'.i. But so far as accepting your aunt's invitation . goes, 1 shall write to say we thank her, and thai y 5 n will be i n read i n ess on the 20 1 h . " Of course Genevieve had no choice left. her but to obey her mother's .imperative command; and as she was uniformly dutiful, for all her resolution aud independence, she went on with her arrangements pleasantly aud promptly, with the mental reservation tJmt she "would, under no possible circumstances, allow herself to be made a trap to catch a husband. Two weeks afterward, Genevieve was plunged into the creme de. la ere me of fashionable society at Long Branchthe prettiest, loveliest, most exclusive young belle that had adored society that season : and Mr. St. Laurence began to comprehend, as she had not comprehended before, the full meaning of the friendly, sisterly warn i ng M rs . S tecl e had d ropped hot, i n saying that although Crenevieve was roost sweet, and charming, and gracious, and obedient, and accommodating, she nevertheless could arrive &t a point where not even her friends could persuade or influence her notably in those delicate affairs that would occur in social society particularly, in this case so far as "L. F " was concerned. As yet the very desirable had not made his appearance at the seashore, although his mother was there a, lovely, queenly old lady, who wore black silks aud creamy laces, and the tiny diamond ear rings, and whose face was fair and a littfo flushed, just like a girl's, and who did not have, to resort to false hair or teeth at 60 years of aye. Very greatly t. Mrs. St. Laurence's delight, Lance Fielding's mother was charmed with Genevieve, and he lalke. to the girl of her boy in her mvthcrly, nioiatrous way, until vsn our rebellious Genevieve's curiosity was. excited to see the paragon, and she decided .he must be a good sun to have deserved half his Ltmther's loving praises. 1 am rea 1 1 y a i 1 xio a s to have you two meet," she said, the day ho was expected. Genevieve laughed, and declared she was most positive wtieh a mother mud have fueh a good son; and thou, as she wont io dress for a drive with Mrs. St. Laurence, si e made a defiant resol ulio n n 0 1 tJ alio w h ersei f to even be interested in Ms Lane Fielding. Aunt Juliet disl not dri ve that lifternoon, after all, and Genevieve had the barouche fdl to herself ; and aii e?:o,t.u

tteiy lovely picture she made, sitting back among the claret-oolored cushions, with her white dress lying aroun J her, her rose-lined, white-lac&d parasol casting a delicious glow on her fair face. Ac d Lance Fieldig.n on his way from the depot, lookec at her, . with the strangest stirring of h'is pulses he had ever in hi- life experienced be fore. 41 What a glorious face! What a lovely girl!" W.aile Geuevpeve had not so much as seen him in the moment of pissing. A few minutes afterward, he was greeting his mother, and ail liar idolatrous love wan in her . 'mother-eyes as she talked to him and listened "I believe 1 have met my fate," he said, lightly, as he sat beside the window hand some.self-j;Osseased, manly, refined truly just such a son as such a mother should have owned,, "I hope not," Mrs Fielding answered, so earnestly that he smiled back in her eyes. "I hope not, Lauee, for I've been savin g- the dearest girl for yonMrs. St. Laurence s niece Miss Steele: She lia.out driving with her aunt now, but 1 expect them back soon. " Mrs. Fieldiug.of coutse,did not know that Mrs. St. Laurence had changed her mind, aud consequently Geuevie vo had gone alone, and Lance shook hia head, in laughing defiance. "My charmer was al ine. I am afraid it is kir-mr-t, mother." And just theu Mrs. St. Laurence tapj ed at ..Mrs. Fielding's door, at: the same moment that Genevieve returned from her drive. ,. . .1. 'Laiice is come!" Mrs. Fie Id iug said; and the gentleman made hi greeting

nleasantlv.' "iNow do send uentvieve

here," she went on, in her light cheerful way. "I thought you had gone together. Perhaps it was Genevieve after all," and she turned to her son with a little meaning glance.

M rs. St. Laurence said she would so

for her niece, and a moment later bad

enthuviasticly told Genevieve that Mr. Fielding aad arrived. . . "The most elegant, handsomest man you ever saw in your life, my dear ! Don't change your dress you never looked better thau in that white lace and lawn but. come with me to Mrs. Fielding's parlor. She sent the most solicitous message by me to you." And then Genevieve leaned back in her, chair and looked straight in Mrs. Laurence's eyes, "Aunt Juiiet.do you for one moment imagine I would allow myself to tie taken to Mrs, Fielding's parlor to be int roduced to her son?" , Mrs. St, Laurence looked in blank dismay at her. ' But why not? . The Fielding are one of our best families ihey are ac customed to. being obliged in such" Genevieve laughed. 'Why nonsense, auntie! I shall not go of course I shall not go. And let me say one other word I do not only refuse to go,but I decline Mir. Fit-Ming's acquaintance. Ofcourse,an introduce tioit some time will be inentable; out as for an acCjua-inuuiec 1 do not wish it," Poor Mrs. St. Laurence If a beggar ha I refused a sack of golden, sand of Paetoius.she could not have have been more utterly du.tnbf nnided. "I will not lend myself to your

s, sue said, resolutely. "1 came

ere because mamma wished it, and

you were so kind as to want me. But, Aunt Juliet, I will not allow myself to be lent to the disgraceful role of a husband-hunter." So Mrs. St Laurence went backmore chagrined and confounded than sh ? ever remembered to have previously been and made some gracious little apology about dear Genevieve being indisposed with a slight headache and Lance Fielding scored one in her favor. 'A m-'dest,scnsiblc ghi,' he decided. 'I am glad she refused to be paraded." An hour later tnev met ku the hotel piazza Genevieve, radiant as a star,in lemon silk, with vivid carnation satin ribbon, and her dark eyes shining with mutinous defiance. "Genevieve my son, Lance, Mis Steele. How i3 vour poor head now, dear?" The lovely girl in the cat riage! La nce Fielding experienced another of those curious sensations as he looked into her i yes one second, and theu bowed before her. ;,My head? My head has not troubled me, Mrs. FieidSug,-" she answered gravely. And then, to a certainty, Liuce knew that she had purposely avoided him. Ana it was another stick of fuel to the flsme already scorching his heart. rhat was how it began. It would have been rude, if not impossible, for Genevieve to have utterly disregarded him. He was the honored guest of the season, -the petted, popular.gallant, the 'haii feilow well met" among the men and over and. abr ve all, he paid a cer

tain reverential devotion to Genevieve

that it was impossible to resist. They walked, and danced, and sailei,' and ro if, upon occasions, and to every one it was plain enough that Fielding was most desperately in love with Mis. Sleeie. But there was a limit to her pleasant cordiality which he could not pass. She. wa merry, and fascinating, and charmingly friendly aud that was all. Until one day he told her, in a passionate, eager way, thai she was cruel to him that she must see how he worshipped her, how his happiness was bound up in her, how he loved her.and wanted her for his wifo his mother's daughter! Well, Genevieve listened, for two reasons: One, because she eouM not help it; ihe other ahi because they were the sweetest words she ever heard --those loye words from this lover, whom she had shrined in her heart as k rd and master, whom she defiantly turned a deaf car to w hen he pleaded so passionately. "i could have but one auswer," sho st id, coldly-rV.no! I have given you n possible reason to speak so. to me." Nor would she allow another wont on ihe subject, and then locked herself in bar room and cried until she was ex-

He loved you feo he will f never love aWoman again. I know that." The flush died out of Genevieve' cheeks, and a curious, soleuiu look crept into her beautiful eyes. "Mrs. Fielding," 'she said, gently, deprecatingly, 41 will you please tell your son it was not because 1 did no j love him? 'Tell him I wish he would asjk me agun now. May 1 semi hiiii snch a message?" 'God bleas you for it! "she answered. Then they 'putted, and , Genevieve went home as she never had gone home in her life before And before twenty-four hours had passed Lance Fielding .

Baldwin : Indiana has a greateJ avreage of Otators than any .State in the Union. During the last ten months she has listened to over -40,-OW speeches. Think of a State that can give her children, as Indiana did last fall, ovsr a thousand pieces of oratory per dny, and many of them of consummate ability. The average Hoosler is nothing unless oratorical. Nothingin the pastdeligiits!tiim so much as the memories aud triumphs of the great orators cf his State Marshall, Dunn, Eiannegan aud Smith. Of none ol her living sons is she so proud as of those who have won fame by their voices. No name is so often upon hU lips as that of the great party Demosthenes of the West need I in this the -city of his pride, ami where rest his jueat ashes, name the name of Oliver P. Jlortou? While Indiana, easily loads the worli in quantity, much remains to he done for the Quality of her oratory. Here we) u si; reform o'ur reformers. And where -.else shall we commence than among our Colleges and our youth? Youth is the port at which tho ships of life are laden . The value of the voyage depends upon the character of the freight, a rainless April makes a harvestless June; an aimless and effort less youth makes a barren an :l impotent middle age. It was not the legislative halls of 1770-O that made the splendid oratory of Patrick Henry, hut the Virginia corn ilelds and sctiooi houses of IT-W-'oO. It was not tho forums and Senates of Washington that formed the massive eloquence of Webster, but the little Court Houses among the New Hamsp hire hills, where his youthful efforts were made, j.tid where his great powers were trained.. Asia had her seven churches all bright and shlniug lights. Indiana has her seven Colleges, each the eeutcr of her best life and culture. Each of these Institutions has sent up here Us best orator to compete for tne honor of the evening, it was only yesterday that Indiana, shook oft the dust of antiquity and took the initial steps toward giving her daughters an equal chance with her sous in the political Held. In accordance with this spirit one ot the seven orators of the evening Is a tady, and will scon be "a sweet girl graduate." If the fortunes of war and the judgmeut oi our honored Committee should award her the laurel, tonight every one in Uiis great audience will bid her "God speed' in the coming Inter-State contest. ! Hut I must not longer detain this audience. Expectation must give way to enjoyment. In the name of tho great KoosierStatoJar.d its Jf 00,000 people whom you so worthily loprcscnt; in the name ot this busy city-the industrial, social and political center ol a great people; in the name of this great audience, representing the wealth, the beauty and fashion of our metropolis; here in this aiasHi cent Hall that ha? so lately rung with the divine 'notes of G erst er-h ere miclway between the rising walls of our noble State House on the right that for centuries to some will ring with high . debate and the towers and hutresses ot our massive temple of justice on the left, that is the pride and boast of this fair city;- here amid these streets

.,A lady was givinout to her servant some candies for her use, at the same;

She was very particular about her Sunday out and other privileges and, after a good deal of discussion, ' the ladysaid : " Well, I think we have agreed about every thing " The servant replied, with a smile, "Ot course, all tha

'"And can I have one afternoon every w-eek?" she asked. "Afternoons are not convenient," I said, "but Twill endeavor to spare you one evening."
