much care has not been given to the re

OAllFIELD AND DOKSBV. A controversy has developed as to the

truth of the statement that Dorsey had refused .to enter Garfield s cabinet. A correspondent of the Chicago News

quotes the following from a "well-known" gentleman connected "intimately" with the campaign. We publish it because it is of current public interest, and not because there need be a particle of ground for the truth of the statements. The average Washington "correspondent" is at times not unworthy of disbelief. But to the statemento. Mr. Garfield said: Kcw,Dorsey, what can I do for ymQf I do not believe you can do anything xr me replied Doreey. There's only tfje place I would accep1;,and that,I know yoa wauld net give ma1 What place is that? asked Garfield. " !The secretaryship of the treasury.9 " Will nofclring else satisfy you?' " 'No said Dorsey, 'but I'll teU you what Td like to have you do. T don't care for any office, but my wife is ambitious, and for her sake I wish you would give me the opportunity to refuse a cabinet position.1 ' " Well,what position shall I offer youf asked Garfield. " 'Oh, anything,' was the reply. 'Don't offer me the treasury, tliough, for if you do I'll accept it.' " 'How will the interior department do?' " 'All right, said Dorsey.

"Thereupon Garfield sat down at one

desk and wrote a letter to Dorsey offering

him the secretaryship of the interior,

whil6 Dorsoy sat at another desk only a

few feet distant, writing a letter to Garfield declining the place. These two let

ters wore wntten simultaneously. Dorsey told me this himself. All this talk

about Garfield urging him to go into the

cabinet iB nonsense. Garfield would nev-

er have made the oiler exeej-t on tiie extreme condition that it should be refused.

It was made only to please Mtb. Dorsev."

... j. nave wonaerea, saia anotner . gentleman, "why Dorsey did not produce

Garfield's letter to substantiate his claim,

but I think I understand it now. The

chances are that both letters the pffei and the refusal bore t he same date and

were wnxren on me same Km a or paper with the same kind of ink. If Dorsey

had produced Garfield's letter, Rockwell

would probably have produced DoiTsey's

letter, and" that would have let the cat out of tbe ba. I am inclined to think

Dorsey told you the truth." TnE PENKSl'IVANIA DEMO OR ATS.

There have been rumors in Saratoga

that the fiiepuhlioan managers here in New York State were about to hold a conference with the view of canvassing in an infor mal, way the nation

al political situation. "I don't know of

any such conference being held, or of its going to be held," said Emory A. Storrs, cf Cbicago, "but the political situation here has been canvassed pretty thoroughly this summer on both sides without, of course, 'the 1 east trace of, formality, and there seems to be now a decided drift toward the nomination of President Arthur. I feel very confident in saying that in the State of New York the old independent and 0-called half-breed feeling against Gan. Arthur has in a great measuro been removed, and I gather from pretty gener al conversatiens since I have been here, not only with New York's, but with men from many portions of J;he country, that the President has sneoeeded in achieving for himself in all quarters of the country, and among practically all classes of interests, a very marked degree of confidence. In conversations whioh I have had with one or two distinguished southern men (Domocrats), his popularity in

the South is declared by them to be greater than that over had by any Republican president, and a Southern gentleman very high in the ranks of the Democratic pr.rty, in a conversation with a distinguished Democrat in this State, said without any hesitancy that in the event of Gen. Arthur candidacy for the presidency he would be very sure to carry Vixginia and North Carolina, quite probably Tennessee, and quite possibly Mississippi and South Carolina. "I am in tavor of nominating Charlie Poster for vice president'said Mr. Storrs. "Taking Arthur and Foster together I think the team wouh be a pretty hard

one to beat. Republicans of both the old

factions in Ohio and everywhere else could rally round that ticket with perfect confidence. I do not understand that there has ever been any serious differ -ences between President Arthur and Fos

ter. Moreover, Poster has a strong personal following in Ohio. The State in

not dead sure, and his nomination would strengthen us there very much.

'I think the tariff will cut'a very con-

epiouous figure in the campaign. The

Republicans have got to be, what they always have practically been, in f vor of the protective system. I think that if the

Democrats repeat their platform of 1880,

'a tariff for revenue only,' they are surely

to be beaten even if Ben. Butler is their candidate. I believe that Illinois is to

day in favor of protection."

"What do you consider the outlook for

Republican success in the next campaign?''

"I think it is excellent. I think it is,

if anything, better than it was in 1879."

"Do you think the anti-monopolists

and the other parties will play an impor

tant part in the campaign?"

"No; no perceptible part."

Mr. Storrs is in favor of holding the

convention in Saratoga. Regarding the

Democratic convention he said: "Mr.

Phelps, president of the Iroquois club, of Chicago, wants to take the Democratic, convention feo Chicago, and he told me last night thut he thought-it quite likely to go there." MR. DOBBEVAS DENIAL. Last week was published what purported to be a statement made by the Hon. S. W. Dorsey regarding the conduct of Gen. Garfield before his nomination, pending his election and during the few months of his administration. While there was nothing in the Btory,which was taken from the Now York Sun. that was new, it was told with a particularity as to names and details that gave it the appearance of being genuine, and was regarded by the general public as such. As Mr. Dorsey was at his ranch in New Mexico the article was not brought to his notice until Friday last. He denied the authorship of the story, and said he "did not prompt a line, indite a line, or know anything till now about the publication

of such an article." Mr. Dorsey explains the fierce assaults that have been made

on him by the New York Times by say

ing that the paper was incensed that,dufing the campaign of 1880, the Tribune of

that city was paid for 800,000 extra copies of its weekly edition at a cost of $14,000,

while the Times was not so patronized by

the National Republican Committee, THE PRESIDENT MAKERS.

The New York Herald has interviewed Charles A. Dana, editor of the Sun, White-

Jaw Raid, of the Tribune, and Hugh

Hastings, of the Commercial Advertiser,

on presidential possibilities. Mr. Dana

prefers William S. Holman, of Indiana, and does not believe Til den would con

sent to be a candidate. He is also in favor pf a late democratic convention. Mr.

Reid has no presidential preference. He

regards Blaine as out of the field. He

thinks Arthur stands better before the

people to-day than at any other period in his life" Mr. Hastings' declares the demo

cracy must face the tariff issue and that the popular current is growing stronger every day in favor of Arthur. On being

asked if Tilden would take the nomina

tion he replied, "Why, certainly." SENATOR VEST ON TEMPERANCE.

United States Senator George Vest, of

Missouri, sat in hi shirt sleeves in a room at the Grand Pacific last evening, where

he warmly greeted a Chicago Daily News reporter. The sen ator joins the presiden

tial party, headed by Arthur ard Gen.

Sheridan, that leaves for the Yellowstone

Friday. In response to a question as to how the recent law for a high license for

saloons was working in that state, he

said : "It is working first-rate. There is a strong temperance sentiment in all the

strongly democratic counties in the state.

Take Clay county for instance, which usually gives a democratic majoritity in any state election, there isn't a saloon in that county, and there has not been for

eight years. Take Saline county, with

2,500 democratic majority, it has refused all saloon keepers licenses, and there has

not been a saloon there for , years. In Clinton county, which gives 1,500 demo

cratic majority, no saloons are permitted to exist. So, in all the large democratic

counties in Missouri the temperance feeling is very strong. It is so in ail southern communities to a much greater extent than is imagined up here in the north. The feeling does not go as far as prohibition. Our people do not believe

in that idea, and have a deep seated and almost constitutional objection to legislation which attempts to regulate to such a nice point the relations between man and man, or whioh-eeeks to go so far as to restrict the personal liberty and movements tastes, appetites, and indulgences of the private citizen. They believe universal education and enlightenment is the only means by which the people can be so trained upon this subject that they will freely and willingly and spontaneously abandon the practice which has wrought ruin in bo many portions of our country, especially in St. Louis. The people in the southern states believe rather in local options and high license, though the temperance feeling is growing stronger in every southern state, particularly since the war. In Arkansas and Texas the movement is especially strong."

Some Public Matters, Details of which will be Found of More than Ordinary Interest.

THE GK AND ABM Y. The troubles with the wires has been the cause of the meager reports of the Grand Army encampment at Denver last week. The meeting was largely attended by the veterans; The grand commander for the ensuing year is Gen. Robert B. Beath, of Pennsylvania, the senior vicecommander being William Warner, of Iowa. Tne place selected for the next meeting is Minneapolis, Nashville contesting for the honor, ancLlosing it by ten. votes. NiinnraTs not sleeping in bussia. Startling discoveries have juBt been made of a most dangerous Nihilist conspiracy in BuBsia. It is reported that a large number of persons have been implicated from every rank.and condition in the em

pire Many arrests have been made, but It is belived the number in custody, is not a tithe of those engaged in the plot. Some

detectives believe that the persons arrested have been offered voluntarily or by 16

to cover the real actors in the projected

enterprise. Expectation is on tip-toe, awaiting what future may bring forth. THB OHOIiEBA. The fear of the cholera on this side of the Atlantic received a fresh impetus on Friday from the telegraphic reports that large quantities of rags were being ship

ped from the infected districts in Egypt

to Boston or New York. There are few more certain means' of spreading infectious diseases than the tattered garments

used by its victims. It may seem strange that rags are shipped from Egypt to New York, but the trade is a large one, and American manufacturers have buyers,not

onlv in Egypt, but in Turkey, Asia Mi

nor, and other eastern countries, purch as

ing rags. They are so cheap there, the Orientals having no use for them, that it is a profitable field for American and English manufacturers. Last year this

country exported from Ejypfc alone near

ly 5600,000 worth of rags. It.is possible

that the cholera may be brought here in

this merchandise unless the most vi or-

ous rules are enforced against its adoiis sion at the ports of destination.

OPENING OF THE LOUISVItiXiE EXPOSITION

When Mr. Atthur declared the exposi

tion open the enthusiastic crowdsignified their approval again, and the President reached out his hand, pulled the silken cord dangling above the stand, and

therby opening the throttle of the Rey

nolds-Corliss engine, putting m opera

tion all the engines in the machinery de

paitment. A chime of bells pealed forth

and then the grand organ, presided over

by Professor George Roller, the Seventh

regiment band, under the leadership of

Kapp, and the festival chorus of 500 voices, under the direction of Mr. Donald

MuPherson, started the well known air,

"America." Ten' thousand co pies of "My

country, 'tis of thee," had been distribu

ted among the throng, and those who

were musically inclinetfoined. in the patriotic and and inspiring song. Mean

time the President had left the stand, ac

companied by the reception committee, and walked about the building inspecting the displays. He was greeted by cheers by the crowd wherever he went. He was taken first to the art gallery in the park . About one-third of the pictures had been hung, and the party spent considerable time in examining the splendid works of art. From the art gallery the President went to lunch with Mr. Dnpont at his home in t:?e park. 1 ud !ater din d with the Peudtums Club in the city.

Farm Notes. One acre in rank clover, it is claimed, will keen five medium sized hogs during the time it is growing, well. ; 1 Study the soil, that its needs may be intelligently supplied. Study it as other men study the laws and sciences. Laying hens shoulS have a low perch. They enioy it more that sitting on a box or anything slse, and it better for them, because nature says sx The wool clip of the United States for the current year promises to exceed that of 1882 by 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 pounds, making the total product 320,000,000

pounds. . I It, is maintained by some scientists that the aroma of fruits increases with the latitude, while the sweetness decreases. Many herbs, suck as caraway, are ' richer in essential oils in Norway than in more sou rthern regions. j f -. Col. Curtis says a patch of sorghum, to

cut in September to feed the pigs, has become a necessity. A quarter of an acre sowed in drills will keep twenty pigs growing for a month. He also says it is good to induce a full flow of milk Jfrom the cows. .k, A California exohange says: "A peach tree on the farm of William Overfield, in South Auburn, which has heretofore borne very fine peaches, stands ne:ur several plum trees, and, strange to say, this year hangs full of plums.' The peach and plum trees were in blossom at the same time." lb is stated by one who has been very successful with ensilasre that the proper weight for a silo is. 130 pounds per square foot! Barrels of fine loam or road dust make very good weight for the silo, and, the dirt can be utilized as an absorbent in the stable as the packages are removed in taking out the fodder. This is

better than handling several tons of stone that must be gotten out of the way1 again in the spring.: tU:t ,fMad Dog Bites. '

-.; If a man is bitten by a mad dog, on the ninth day small blisters, called lyssals appear under the tongue; they are rather dark-colored, about the sized of a pea, some of them smaller, and look like flesh. They are situated on the under side of the tongue near the membraneous bandi particularly on the side of the veins s If you observe the tongue of a sound m&, and then examine the tongue of a man who has been bitten by a mad dog;, yon will immediately Bee the difference.. As soon as these lyssais are observed they must be cut out with a sharp knife and the bleeding continued until tne poison is discharged. It this is neglected or deferredtoo long the brain becomcsfaffected and the.patient will die in deplorable convulsions. ... . " "Seven Greeks' said Dr. Xanthos, "who were stopping at Arouy natives of Thessaly and Epirus, and the islands of Greece, confirmed this testimony." An JJpirqt, at Basle, infprmed thQ doctor

that, in hin country, that after the lyem

had been cut out, and the wound had ; been bled copiously it was the custom to . rub it witii garlic and common alt. He assured the docor that he had frequently is

seen this clone, and after the plan bad

been oarefuUy pursued, the patient after . :

he foitieth day was out of danger. Hie i

also added that the inhabitante of Ae '1

neighboring moun tains af ter operation on t J

he lyssais, washed out a gun barrel with5 ?

water and made the patient wash hia mouth wilii the rinsings. Thirteen Greeks J. stopping at Basle confirmed tnia teatSp

mony. A Peloponnesian, eighty yeanil '

old, who had been in trade from fifteen

to twenty years in Russia, who wa .then ,

in Switzerland, told the doctor that he.r

had often employed this method in Rue- i?

sia with the happiest success. In eome J

parts of Greece, after the operation it was :i

tbe custom to squeeze river crawfiah to y the wound. The inhabitants had great -r

aith in the efficacy of crawfish in caeca

of hydrophobia, And used them internally V

and externally. From all this informal

tion it a r nears that the treatment of fthie

by excision of the lyssais. That it had ' its origin in Greece is evident troni jthe
