The Cabinet.

There scenis to be some disintegration in Cabinet circles at Washington. Attorney General Hoar has resigned, and President Grant expresses himself determined to make other changes in his Cabinet. What other changes will be made it is difficult to surmise. The Secretary of State, will in all probability be asked to resign. What other member of the Cabinet will retire soon, rumor does not say.

We are satis tied a change in the Cabinet could be made greatly to the interest of the country. The President was not fortunate in bringing around him men peculiarly adapted for their respective positions. A change, therefore, might not only be to the general ad vantage but in all probability would make the administration stronger and more efficient. President- Grant wants as his advisers now, the ablest, and purest, and most patriotic men in the Republic. The times are considerably out of joint, and need readjusting. Grant has the confidence of the people. They know he is honest and patriotic, and they are willing to trust him. If any member of his cabinet is in the way of the adoption of measures calculated to advance the public weal, he should be invited to stand aside, and let a better man take his place. There is nothing alarming in the remodeling of a cabinet, but generally it is evidence of some purification.

HKD CI.OUD, as will be seen in the telegraphic column, has made another speech at the Cooper Institute in New York. Plis speech is a very feeling one, and touches warmly the cords of common humanity which are planted in the breasts of all men. The poor Indian appeals to the white man to treat him honestly, and not deceive him any more. He says, what every mail in this country knows who lias given the subject any attention, that the men who are appointed Indian agents, as a general thing, are a set of dishonest scoundrels and thieves, who procure the place, only because they intend to, and can cheat the ignorant red man out of the majority of the money, and provisions, and clothing which the Government from time to time gives him. This has been the practice of some

Agents for many years, but since the corrupting influences of the war have prevailed to such an alarming extent, this thing has become almost universal. Even the officers who control the

Indian Affairs

at Washington, have, with much show of truth, been accused of understandings with these very Agents, by which they put money in their pockets. The whole Department of Indian Affairs has been shown to be corrupt, and Gen. Grant has a big job on his hands in his efforts to purify it. Ttmust, however, be purified. The unprotected

savage in our

West

ern wilds must be protected in his natural rights. He has the rights of our common humanity. The right to a subsistence in accordance with the instincts

fere with the vested rights of others. The right to live, as he desires to live, if by so doing he does not become a tresspasser on other people's rights.

These rights are guaranteed to him by a higher power than tint of man, and it is defying that Omnipotent power to rob him of them.

The Currency Bill.

In the House of Representatives, at Washington, just now, there seems to be much activity in taking hold of the business proper to be done. The financial question is consuming much time, and it really looks as though something will be done which ought to be done.

The currency bill, which has recently passed the House, is about as follows: It increases the National Bank circulation ninety-five millions of dollars, and cancels the three per cent, certificates now held by the banks to the extent of fortyfive millions of dollars as their legal tender reserve. The clause which provided for the contraction of forty millions of legal tender notes was stricken out, which makes the bill one of inflation, by increasing the volume of currency fifty millions of dollars. The first section of this provides that ninety-five millions of bank notes maybe issued to National Banking Associations in addition to three hundred millions of dollars authorized by law. This excess is to be issued to banks now organized or to be organized under the apportionment contemplated by the act of 1865. If application for this circulation shall not be made within one year after this act is a law by banks having less than their proportion of circulation, it shall be lawful for the Comptroller to issue such circulation to banking associations in other States not in excess who may apply for the same, giving the preference to such as have the greatest defi ciency. It is provided that no bank here after organized shall have a circulation in excess of $500,000. The section provides for the cancellation of as many dollars of three per cent, certificates as there are new notes issued each month, at which time the interest on the certificates shall cease, and they shall no longer be used for the reserve funds. The third section provides that there may be issued notes to banks in States and Territories having less than their proportion of circulation, to be withdrawn from banks having an excess authorized by the act of 1865, but the amount so withdrawn shall not exceed five millions of dollars. The Comptroller is to make out a statement, showing the excess and ordering a requisition for it, commencing with the banks having a circulation exceeding one million, and then proceeding

with hnnl'D hnvim»

pro

rato

with banks having a circulation exceeding three hundred thousand dollars, and so on until the amount is Withdrawn If the banks don't hand over this excess provision is made to sell an equal amount of their bonds, but no circulation is to be withdrawn until after the ninety-five millions of dollars, granted by the first section, shall be taken up. This bill goes to the Senate, where in all probability

it will be very much altered and amended, and then perhaps killed. The Senate and the House do not agree on this currency question, and perhaps never will,

CINCINNATI.

Trip front Torre llantc-Towns on U»» Jtoiite—The «rops—The Ssengerlest— 1'roees.sion, Ac.

Hpi cial Correspondence Gazette. CINCINNATI, June 15. The Sajngerfest excursionists arrived in this city all safe and sound. The Terre Haute delegation, after partaking of an excellent lunch at Fisher's, together with the Evansville Ltiederkranz and the members of Warren's C. C. S. Band, of that place, proceeded to the depot, and awaited the arrival of the Vandalia and Alton train, when the delegations from points along that road joined ours. The first train which left the depot was composed of eight cars, all filled as full as they would hold. The second was composed of 15 coaches, as full as they could pack —in both trains 1,300 people, I should say.

Wo reached Greeucastle at 3:33 A. M., where we lost about an hour by the train having to wait for the express train. On our arrival at Indianapolis, we were about an hour behind time, but this could not be avoided, the conductor doing all he could to bring us forward. Arriving at Indianapolis, we were welcomed by the Sanger societies of Indianapolis, while the famous Halm's Band discoursed delightful music. Here there was such a great bustle that many got oh wrong trains, some getting on those going in an opposite direction. At last we got oft' on the Junction Road, the ears being so full that half the people could not get seats. All went on smoothly until we reached Morristown, 26 miles east of Indianapolis, where a coupling-pin broke, and left several cars behind. Of course, there was some excitement, but all was set right in a short time, and in a moments we were under full speed again.

At 9:12 we arrived at Connersville, where the excursionists partook of a lunch, prepared expressly for them. Nothing of special importance transpired along the road from that place. We arrived in Cincinnati at 1:10, P. M., all safely, and without an accident save what I have related. The crops along the line of the road, as far as I could learn, are quite backward, but the late rains have greatly increased the prospect for corn and wheat. The principal stations along the road, from Indianapolis to Cincinnati, are Rushville, Connersville, College Corner, Liberty, Oxford and Hamilton, all pleasant places. Oxford has some splendid buildings, and among them a beautiful female seminary which somewhat resembles the State Normal School building at Terre Haute. Oxford lias a *t!l'ftboilt 2, 1 have not space nor time to write it up. It is estimated that there are from 10,000 to 20,000 people in attendance at the Ssengerfest. There were about 5,000 singers in the procession, and all kinds of banners flying. In the procession were about 400 little girls all dressed in white, and tho whole procession was over five miles long. It took one hour and fifteen minutes to pass a given point. I could write a great deal more if I had time, but the above will be sufficient, to give your people an idea of our trip, and the immense throng of people.

A Narrow Escape From a Fearful Dentil— A Noble Deed. Yesterday afternoon, while several little girls were engaged in plucking wild flowers among the rocks bordering on the north side of Mount Jefferson, one of them, a daughter of Mr. Daub, on the Lehigh, in reaching out over the hill, lost her hold on the rocks, and was precipitated down the almost jjerpendicular hillside, a distance of about 30 feet. Fortunately her dress caught in some bushes, which prevented her being dashed a lifeless, shapeless mass upon the rough rocks 180 feet below. Our readers will remember that this occurred at the place where the solid walls of the hills rise, almost peqjendicularly, to a bight of about 225 feet above the Buslikill, and is considered almost impassable by any but the most daring and practical climber. Here the little girl hung for some time with a horrible death awaiting her below, and the cracking and bending of the brittle bushes warning her that but a few moments might separate her from her doom, while her little playmate from above could only wring her hands and make her agony known by her prayers and shrieks. But no helping hand could reach her from the hill-top—and only death waited for her at the bottom.

At last the cry of the little onesreached the ears of Messrs. Otto Voiglitand Samuel Scliurch, of Phillipsburg, who were then in the yard of the residence of the former, who at once rushed across the Buslikill to her relief. When they arrived at the foot of the hill and saw the little sufferer and the frail support, Mr,

Scliurch at once threw off his"coat, and with the daring agility displayed by his countrymen when they scale the cliffs of his own native Switzerland, he at once began to scale the steep steps of Mount Jetferson, and after much labor and many a crash in his dangerous ascent, he folded the bleeding little form in his strong arms and held her firmly there until others came to their assistance. Persons came there with ropes, &c., and the child was securily fastened to a rope let down from above, and gently drawn to the top, when the rope was in turn fastened to Mr. Schurch, and he aided in making his perilous ascent to the top of the hill. The child was about 11 years of age and sustained several bruises about the head.—Easton (Pa.) Express.

Spotted Tail writes encouragingly to Mrs. Spotted Tail. In his last letter home he says: "The white man is like the sands of the sea. His huts are like the trees of the forest. His horses are iron. Their speed is lightning. He has little wire that goes over the great country. It reaches a hundred nations. He blows through the wire. The white man is a great blower. The words of his nouth go to the end of the earth. They call up warriors and summon men to the council. But thc_ soul of Spotted Tail knows no fear."

HE A RT-RE NDI (x STORY.

Sudden Rise of a Texan liiver—A Family Swept Away in the Flood. One of the most terrible calamities of its nature that has happened lately is narrated by the Austin (Texas) journal. It reads almost like a romance, as it seems impossible for a small stream -0 feet beiow its banks to rise with such rapidity as is stated. It is, nevertheless, a truth that is far stranger than fiction

We published, some time since, a bnet and necessarily imperfect account of this strange and most painful calamity, which we now correct, with fuller particulars, as we receive the statement from the lips of Brevet Colonel Merriam. Major of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, who is now in Austin. The Colonel, after four years ol military service on the frontiers of Kansas, New Mexico, and West Texas, had received leave of absence, and was journeying with his wife and child from El Paso to the Texan coast.

They had reached the head of the Concho river, and camped for the night on Sunday, the 24th of April.

The river is formed by the junction of the rills of water from several large springs, which have been dammed into ponds by the wild beaver, and are well rilled with large fish.

The stream is so small here that a man can step across it anyAvhere. The banks were 20 feet above the bed of the water. Fatigued with the long journey of 58 miles in the previous 24 hours, without water, the party were pleasantly resting when, early in the evening, Col. Merriman was aroused by the signs of an approaching storm. The tent was fastened and made as secure as possible, and about 9 o'clock a hail storm burst upon them accompanied by some rain and a strong

The fall of hail was unprecedented, lasting unitl nearly 11 the stones being of the size of hens' eggs, and striking the tent and prairie with the noise like that of incessant musketry.

The Colonel, who was not ignorant ot the sudden and extreme overflow to which the mountain streams of Texas are liable, went out into the darkness as soon as the storm had ceased, to notd what effect had been produced on this rivulet. To his amazement he found the formerly almost dry bed of the creek a restless torrent, loaded and filled with hail, rolling bank full, white as milk and silent as a river of oil.

He at once saw the danger, and ran back to the tent, shouting to the escort and servants to turn out. He placed Mrs. Merriam, the child and nurse in the carriage, and, with the aid of three men, started to run with it to the higher ground, a distance of not 60 yards. Scarcely a minute had elapsed from the time the alarm had been given, but already the water had surged over the bank in waves of such volume and forco as to sweep the party from their feet before they had traversed 30 yards.

The Colonel called for assistance on some cavalry soldiers who had just escaped from the United States mail station near by, but they were too terrorized to heed or help.

Col. Merriam then abandoned the hope of saving his family in the carriage, and tried to enter it in order to swim out with them, but he was swept into the ice cold torrent like a bubble. Being an expert swimmer, he succeeded in reaching the bank about 200 yards below, and ran back to renew the effort, when he received the terrible tidings that, the moment after he was swept down, the carriage, with all its precious freight, had turned over, and gone rolling down the flood, his wife saying, as she disappeared, My darling husband, good bye.'' The little rill of a few hours before, which a child might step across, had become a raging river, covered with masses of drift-wood, a mile in width, and from 30 to 40 feet deep!

The bereaved husband procured a horse ^\m..jiue„„aLllvaCiiyaU'y,_andj-ode far the long and weary night.

Before day the strange and momentary flood had passed by, and the small stream shrank to its usual size, and ran in its wonted bed. The sad search began. The drowned soldiers and servants, four in number, were found, and the wife taken from the water about three-fourths of a mile below, and prepared for a journey of 53 miles to the post of Concho for temporary burial. Not till three days after was the body of the child found, four miles down the stream, a long distance from its bed. Mrs. Merriam was a lady of culture and attainments, valued and beloved by all who knew her. The little girl, not three years old, was remarkable for the maturity of her mind and the sweetness of her disposition.

The carriage was drifted by the current about a mile, and lodged in a thicket. The storm and flood are represented as frightful beyond description. The beaver ponds from which the Concho takes its rise, were so filled with icy hail that the catfish were killed by the congealation and were swept in wagon loads, together with the myriads of smaller animals of the plain, such as rabbits and snakes, all over the country, by the sudden and rushing flood.

Three days after the storm, when the party left the Concho, the hail lay in drifts and winrows to the depth of more than six feet! A calamity more sad, strange and tragic it has seldom been our lot, our deepest sympathies go out to the the father and husband thus suddenly stricken to the heart by the ghastly loss of all that he held most dear."

From the New York Herald.

The Ghost of a Murdered Girl Unfolds her Tragic Tale to a Stranger In New Jersey.

The citizens of Trenton, N. J., are just now wild with excitement over the' rumored apparition of a female recently arrived from the world of spirits. On last Saturday night about 8 o'clock, as an honest, industrious and reliable teamster was on his way homewards, in passing through an open lot near his home, the ghastly figure of a female, surrounded with a halo of unearthly light, presented itself to his astonished gaze. The figure was below the medium size, dressed in white, with long and beautiful hair falling carelessly over the shoulders, and with an expression of sorrow depicted on the countenance that was painful to witness. Mute with astonishment and awe this weak mortal stood transfixed, his trembling limbs scarcely able to support the weight of fear and terror that rested on them. After a few moments of terror and suspense the mysterious form turned toward the astonished teamster, and,, gazing steadily into his half-petri-fied countenance, recounted a tale of doleful cruelty, of which the following is a summary.

About two years and seven months ago she was basely led astray by a wicked young man (still living) who threw her into the feeder that supplies the canal, where she was drowned. He theu dragged her body out of the water and buried it in the open lot, where she now stood. He spirit has been permitted to return from the land of shades for the purpose of making the necessary revelations which would lead to the conviction and execution of her murderer, whose name she is yet unwilling to reveal. Having made the above brief statement of her wrongs, she vanished into thin air, telling the terrified Hibernian that he should soon see her again, and to have no fears, as she intended to do him no bodily harm.

On these facts being announced, the entire neighborhood was immediately aroused, the news of the mysterious apparition having spread like wild-fire. On Sunday night about 200 persons assembled around the place, but after waiting in vain for the expected ghost until near midnight, they returned to their homes somewhat disappointed. The teamster

Flynn, is positive that what lie saw is no humbug, and the greatest faith is placed in his veracity. He is a married man, of a quiet, harmless disposition, not given to jokes, and his story is generally credited. He has not yet told the female's name, and his manner is very reticent.

Canning Fruit. \y

Like many others, I tried, again and again, to seal fruit cans so as to keep the fruit without molding upon the top. I was particular in following the printed directions in general use, but found that my cans, when cold, would not be more than two-thirds full, and in a few days a white.mold appeared upon the top. I finally appealed'to a friend who, I knew, canned large quantities for her own use. She showed me fruit over a year old, quite fresh and no mold. I at once adopted her plan, which I have since followed with gjeat success. I have no interest in the manufacture of cans, and believe that every one should do his own advertising, but I prefer that kind in which you have only the can, glass cover and rubber to use.

Fruit can be kept just as well without, as with sugar and those sealed up for pies are better without any, as they retain their flavor far better. Brass kettles should never be used. Tin pans or kettles lined with porcelain, so as to preserve the most perfect flavor of the fruit, are the best. While my fruit is being sealed, I put a gill of cold water in each can, and fill up with hot water. The fruit need not be cooked—only heated to the boiling point—unless in preparing pears or quinces, or some other hard fruit that may require more cooking, and then only just so that a straw may be passed through, always being careful to have juice enough to cover the fruit. As soon as boiling hot, empty a can and fill then another, or as many as can be well attended to. Let the cans stand open until you can comfortably bear the hands upon them. Meanwhile more fruit may be heated.

Cut thick writing paper in round pieces the size of the top of each can and when the contents of the cans are cooled, slip a piece over the top of the fruit in each can and at once fill up on top of the paper with boiling juice (saved for the purpose,) and put on the covers as soon as filled, according to the directions given.

I often seal up cherries and tomatoes, only for the winter use. in one gallon stone jars that are small at the top,prepared just the same as for glass. Leaving off the covers, seal with melted rosin, adding a little tallow. Try it on a piece of cloth if too brittle, add more tallow, and vicc versa. Cut a paper also for the top of the jar, just so it will come over the edge, and dip a piece of thick cloth into the resin, only upon one side, spread over the jar and tie down now, with a spoon, dip and spread on the hot resin, until entirely covered, pressing down the sides with the hands dipped in cold water. When cold, if the jar is air tight, the cover will be depressed a quarter of an inch or more. But if it is level, then you must seal it over again. Those who can common sour cherries will find them greatly improved by first draining off all the juice, and then covering them with water—scald and drain off', and cover over again for sealing, canning preserving, or drying.—Farm and Fireside.

Food for Old People.

your fat, good-natured old grandfather living on fat beef and pork, white bread and butter, buckwheat cakes and molasses, rice and sugar, till he has lost ail mental and physical energy, and desires to sit from morning till night in the chimney corner or at the register, saying nothing and caring for nothing! Change his diet, give him fish, beefsteak, potatoes and unbolted wheat bread or rye and Indian, with one-half or three-quarters of the carboniferous articles of his former diet, and in one week he will cheer you again with his old jokes and call for

Or perhaps his irritability arises from the use of too much meat and other phosphatic food if so, keep a diet which the phosphates are deficient, as rice, flour, bread and butter, &c., with other food adapted to his other conditions and habits. But that a regard to these different conditions, and an adaptation of food to conform to them, will very much contribute to comfort and happiness in the declining years of life, there is nota shadow of doubt.—Philosophy of Eating.

Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys' is as important, nay, even more so, than regui? j?. bowels. The Kidneys remove from the Blood those effete matters which, if permitted to remain, would speedily destroy life. A total suspension of the urinarv discharges will occasion death in from thirty-six to forty-eteht hours.

When the Urine is voided in small quantities at the time, or when there is a disposition to I Urinate more frequently than natural, or when the Urine is high colored, or scalding, with weakness in the small of the back, it should nof be trifled with or delayed, but Koskoo should be taken at once to remedy the difficulty, before a lesion of the organs takes place. Most of the diseaees of the Bladder originate from those of the Kidneys, the Urine being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys, prove irritating to the Bladder and Urinary passages.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD. '•The life of the flesh is in the Blood," is a Scripture maxim that science proves to be true. The people talk of bad blood, as the cause oi many diseases, and, like many popular opinions, this of bad blood is founded in truth.

The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite plain—bad Digestion—causes imperfect nutrition, and consequently the circulation is feeble, the soft tissues lose their tone and elasticity, and the tongue becomes pale, broad, ana frequently covered with a pasty, white coat.. This condition soon shows itself in rwififnne&s ol the skin, then in ERUPTIVE and ULCERATIVE diseases, and, when long continued, results in serious lesions of the Brain, Liver, Lungs, or Urinary Apparatus. Much, very much, suffering is caused by impure blood. It is estimated by some that one-fitth of the human family are affected with scrofula of some form. ..

When the blood is pure, you are not so liable to any disease. Many impurities of the Blood arise from impure diseases of large cities. Eradicate every impurity from the fountain of
