PKKSIDSNT IIABRISON yesterday transmitted to Congress a message on the lottery question. He advocat- the passage of a law prohibiting the sending of any lottery circulars or remittances through the mails. The President has taken an advanced stand, and it is to be hoped will succeed in overthrowing a company BO powerful that it bribed an entire shite. The lottery hns been a blur on the country's enlightenment and federal interference is necessary to accomplish its suppression. The president has the almost universal endorsement of the country in his endeavor to defeat the most gigantic swindle the country has known.

TURKU: is no use denying the fact that the police department is in a deplorable state of demoralization. The organ of the administration says the force is "getting into good shape." It is true that a number ot men who have disgraced themselves have been relieved from duty. The effect has been good on the department. It has demonstrated that police officers must be respectable and obey the law as well as to enforce it. The trouble arises out of the loose manner of conducting affairs at headquarters. There is no system apparently, and in consequence officers go stumbling on their beats. What the department needs |s competent and efficient management. Until this is secured it can bo depended on that the force will not work harmoniously together and to the best advantage. There is much in the character of tho men on the force, but more in the management. Tho way to bring about a reform is to begin with the officer in highest authority. He it is who is res|Knsible for the demoralization.

WUKN Congress adjourns and tho members return to meet their constituents they will be confronted by many demands for an explanation of certain vofciM.

VOORH&ES DEFENDS NEW YORK. Mfm Be*If Oomn Twtwtajr

WAKHTXOTOX, July 80.—Mr. Voorheea congratulated Mr. Gorman on his victory la breaking the predetermined silence on the Republican side of the chamber* As to the speech of the Senator from New York, which had been extorted under the lash, it was the same old tirade of calumny and abuse against the Democratic party. If that was all there was of it, he Mr. Voorhees) would let it go. But it seemed that there was no one to speak fairly for the great Democratic city of Kew York. He arraigned that Senator for his slander {on that city—simply because it was opposed to him politically. The Senator had spoken of the vice and crime and intemperance of the city dl New York but he (Mr. Yoorhees) asserted that the very Gibraltar of the Republican part/ in that city, the only district in which it had increased its majority ol late, was the Eighth assembly district where Johnny O'Brien bad been leading the worst elements of society, and where immorality, vice and crime of all description were so rife that a,man's life was not safe there after sundown. The Senator (Mr. Hiscock) owed an apology to the great metropolis on Manhattan island. He had heard no such stigma attempted to be cast on New York before but it ill became one of her sons to retail that old time slander in the senate.

TEA AND SILVER.

A?v

Effect of tbe Passage of tb6 Blll dn China** Great Commodity. CHICAGO, July 30.—Ernest Theodore, a prominent tea importer from Han-Row, China, arrived in this city yesterday. Speaking of the tea commerce, Mr. Theodore said: "The recent passage of the silver bill has raised the price of tea ten per cent We make all our payments in silver over there, little gold being used. Tbe payment of 4,500,000 ounces of silver a month by your government is equivalent to taking out of the market just so much that was hitherto available. Eastern markets have felt this influence and silver in London has raised in price."

.... Fecea and Character. "I am beginning more and more to doubt the truth of tho statement that our faces are living indexes to our characters," said an elderly gentleman, as he threw down the morning paper in which he had been reading an account of some peculiarly atrocious murder. "Here is a case," ho went on, "in which a man proved guilty of the most fiendish murder has a face that is anything but that of a murderer's in apj^rance. I cannot even believe that this is on exception to the rule. In short, I do not believe that there ia any rule on this subject for when I see around me people who are living noble lives, with no distinguishing mark thereof in their countenances when I see about me people who are deep In defilements, but upon whose visages there is absolutely no token thereof, I am forced to tho unhappy conclusion that the human face is an enigma whose secrets none can solve with the positive assurance that comes either by rule or by experience. Character may, in abroad way, leave its reflex on tho human face, but it is my beliof that a man may or may not have character, despite the beauty or blemish of his countenance. In other words, the one factor is in no wise the necessary complement of the other.

What is the practical significance of what I have been saying? Do not he overzealous in defining the virtues or shortcomings of those about you. To know a man's character you must know the man. The ancients were accustomed to sum up all knowledge in the now trite phrase 'Know thyself.' On mature thought they found the realization of this assertion to be a mere poet's dream. No man can know himself absolutely. How then can he know his friend, whom he knows hut imperfectly 4»d at best through a distorted medium? The world is neither good nor bad. It is both together—just as a summer season approaches the fulfillment of the law by the blending of snnshine and shadow, sunlight and rain."—Detroit Free Press.

Billiard Cue Tljw. Hi

4'Few

people," said Harry Da via the

other day to a reporter, "understand anything about the tip to a billiard cue. I dare say there are hundreds of the best players in Pittsburg who know only that the tip is made of leather. As to where it comes from, how it is made, or what it costs, they are totally ignorant. There are several grades of dps, costing from $1.50 to $3 per 100. The $1.50 kind are very inferior and are not used in first-class rooms. It is economy in the best billiard rooms to use first-class tips. Take a room having from fifteen to twenty tables, and the item of tips is a big one. In a year it will reach at least $350 to $300.

4'Ordinary

leather is not used in the

manufacture of billiard tips. A very choice quality has to be used, and it is tanned nad otherwise prepared by a special process. There are no billiard tips made in this country. They come meetly from Paris, where much care is used in preparing them. Paris turns out the best tips in the world. There is a loss, however, to the purchaser in the very best tips of about 10 per cent because or imperfect ones. A flaw is generally the result. It is found in the pasted section holding the leather tip proper to its base. A tip with a flaw in it makes a very unsatisfactory cue.* Pittsburg Dispatch.

OUTLAWED BY INDIANS.

In the fall of 1866, while I was attached to Fort Hays as a government scout and dispatch rider, the Sioux and Cheyfennes were consolidating for the war which opened in the spring. Bands of stragglers were riding about the country, stealing and murdering when-' ever opportunity offered, and one day in October, while returning to the fort from along ride to the north after some miwring horses, I encountered one of theso predatoiy bands. It numbered twelve men, and a son of the Cheyenne chief known as Pawnee Killer waa in command. While war had not bee® declared, and while the Indians did not hesitate to appear at the forts and trading posts, some one was being butchered every day. I had been on the watch for prowlers and was as well prepared as a lone man could be. I had a Winchester and two revolvers, and the only drawback was that I had found two of the horses and had them with me.

I was skirting a long, narrow ridge, badly broken by outcroppings of rock, and the time was 2 o'clock in the afternoon. All of a sudden I caught right of Indians about half a mile away coming up the same side of the ridge. Indeed I heard them yelling before I saw them, and I turned sharp to the left and forced the horses up the ridge among amass of bowlder^, and outcropping. The redskins caught sight of me as I went up. but did not immediately approach. I could see that they were confused, mid a dozen or more shots were fired, and I was puzzling over the matter when I heard some one clattering- over the stony ground, and next moment a white man jumped down beside me and exclaimed "Stranger, for God's sake stand 'em off until I can get my wind. They are Cheyennes, and have killed my brother!"

Three young bucks, on foot, had been in chase of the fugitive, and they were within 200 feet of me as-1 rose up. The leveled rifle brought them to a sudden halt, and after gazing at me for a moment they turned and descended the ridge to join the rest of the band. My visitor lay down, and it was five minutes before he could get breath to explain. "Wo were out looking for cattle which stampeded from our emigrant camp on the Saline Fork. These brutes killed my brother and took me prisoner. That was yesterday, and about a mile below here they had gone into camp and built afire to torture me when I made a break. Give me your revolver, for they'll be sure to charge us."

I gave him one of the weapons, and soon after an Indian appeared on the foot of tbe ridge, mado signs of peace and asked for a talk. Those on the level below me drew away about forty rods to convince me that they meant fair, and I left my shelter and advanced a few paces to ask the errand of the young warrior. While I was ithus engaged the man behind me was rolling the loose rocks together to strengthen the position.

The redskin said he came to demand a prisoner. They had no quarrel with mo, but the prisoner had shot one of their number in cold blood and must die. They only asked for justice. I had their word that I might ride away in safety, but the prisoner they would have at any-sacrifice. I did not wait an instant before replying that the man would not be given up, and that I was ready for any move on their part to take him. The bitick had left his rifle behind him, and I stood there also apparently unarmed. As a matter of fact each of us had a revolver. We were about half a pistol shot apart, and as I gave him my ultimatum he half turned, whipped out a revolver and fired a bullet which passed within an inch of my head. Then he uttered a yell and started to run, but he was too late. My bullet struck him under the' right arm and went clear through him, and he fell and curled up by a bowlder to (lie.

The situation was understood by the Indians below me almost instantly, and the entire crowd dismounted and charged r?p the ridge. It waa a very foolish move on their part and proved the excitability of young bucks. We had them dead under our fixe, and we killed three of them with as many bullets. I got a band on Pawnee Killer's son with my revolver as he urged his hesitating band to push up the ridge, and when he went down 1 thought I had killed him. With his fall the fighting ceased. The survivors made a rush for their horses and then disappeared to the east, leaving the four dead ones where they fell. I was pomled at their conduct, and at first regarded it as a ruse, hut when I came to stand up and look around I saw a party of thirteen white men—hunters, trappers, stockmen and ad vea turera—coming up ttom the north on their way to the fort

The name of the young mAa who so ckreriy escaped was Austin Brioe, and for the next year he was in government employ at the tort. He had not shot as Indian, as stated by the flag «f trace bearer, but the mnrder of his brother WAS entirely unprovoked and cold hlooded« and the fodians meant to torture h|m to death.

The bullet which strock the young ehi«f did not kill him. as I at first supposed, It struck alongside the noae, ran down to the corner of his month, fttlowwd the line of the lipe down to the left hand cornea* and )awd over the chin. The result was to give him a moat

^^The ftrttiil^api Waa ntalle atantWo weeks after the fight on the ridge. A fj&mx Indian, who claimed to have been outlawed from hia tribe because he favored peace with the whites, eame into Fort Bays, ostensibly for protection. He had no weapons, seemed to be honest and straightforward, and all tbe men had a good word for him. On the third day he came to me and asked my as* ristanoe to recover his rifle, blanket, lot of powder «»d lead and various othei articles, which he said he had cached at a spot about twelve miles down the Smoky Hill Fork In a grove. When he described the spot remembered it very well, and next morning, having permission of the commandant, we set out, I was on hojnetack and the Indian afoot I had my Usual weapons, while he had an army mudcet He gave us his name as little Smoke, and waa a typical warrior in build and demeanor. Before we left tho fort an old hunter called me aside and said: "Do you believe thar1 is a cache?" "Why not?' "Bekaae an Injun

take 'em contrary to what they say. Is your scalp nailed on?" "Do youmiatrtMtfthe man?' "Never saw on^it that I didn't Tm going to bet my rifle agin a keg of powder that you don't come back."

As soon as we wore out of sight of the fort 1 motioned for the Indian to take the lead. He seemed to take it as a matter of course, and^liSled off with a lope and held it for six or seven miles without a halt. I had not only to keep an eye on him, but scan the country as well. He appeared to be on the lookout, as well he might be if his story was true, and about 11 o'clock we approached the spot where he claimed to have hidden his property. I hftft kept him in the lead all the time, and we had had more or less shelter along the bank of the stream. Half a mile from the .grove I drew rein and said: "I will wait here while by brother goes forward after his property." "Is the Swift Rider tired with his ride?' he sarcasti(ially answered. "One must keep watch for danger. I will do that, for you will be busy." "If my white brother is afraid he need not go." "If my red brother has a cache in the grove let him look for it. If not we will return to the fort."

He hesitated a moment, and then, satisfied that I was oil my guard, he walked away and soon disappeared in the grove. I had every confidence that the trees sheltered a band of redskins, and it would not have surprised me in the least to have seen a body of them dash out. I -was therefore taken aback, at the end of about a quarter of an hour,to see Little Smoke reappear with a backload of stuff from his cache. He came straight toward me, but Very slowly, and halted every few yards to adjust his burden. I was carefully watching him when my horse sniffed tho air uneasily, and all at once it, came to me that I was being stalked. I left the shelter of thecottonwoodg for 1jhe open ground, and as I rode away two bullets zipped close to my head, having been fired from the opposite bank of the stream. At the same moment Little Smoke dropped his goods and fired on me with his musket. While half a dozen Indians in my rear were yelling and shooting I rode down to within 200 feet of the smooth tongued traitor and dropped him dead in his tracks. Therd'were five Indians in the ambuscade, and they mounted their ponies and pursued me for three or four miles, but I got safely away.

The secotid attempt was made in December.^ A half breed Cheyenne—an old man with a very honest face—came into the fort and reported that a white man, a trapper, was in camp on the river above ua with a broken leg, and he had volunteered to come in and report the case. The distance was not over five miles, but the snow lay deep on the ground and it was very sharp weather. The old man probably reasoned that I would be sent out to guide the relief pagy. He was asked to do so, but refused, even under promise of a gallon of whisky. This refusal aroused my suspicions, and instead of going out as a relief corps a dozen men went armed to the t&eth. The place designated was a grove, and we approached it as near as possible under cover and then made a sudden dash. Eight mounted Indians rushed out on the other side. There were evidences that they had been there in camp for two or three days.

In the spring, when war had been formally declared, most of my work was along the Smoky ATM stage route. When the stages finally oeased running I carried food and ammunition to the station employes or guided them safely to the poets. Lookout station, twenty miles beyond Fort Hays, was more exposed to attadc than my other on the route. The hut for the shelter of the men was half wood, half mud. Two stables filled with hay and oats flanked it and stood dangerously near. While at every other station the men had made dugouts for their protection, this precaution had been neglected at Lookout. Small bands of Indians had appeared and been stood off by the well armed men, and they had come to believe that they could defeat any force likely to appear. On the morning of April IS Iwas approaching Lookout with 400 Winchester cartridges for the men. when, just as day fcahrly broke, I was discovered and pursued by a bend of about fifty Indians. I got into the station after a lively chaae, and within an hour it was surrounded by over a hundred redskins,

I had been recognisad, and they sent a flag of truce to offer the three men their lives if they would hand met over. This' cflter was twice repeated* and then the Indiana settled down to beaaege the station. During the day the firing was kept op at long range. All the horses in the •tablet were kill^ before noon, bat none of us was wounded. As night came I determined to get away, being under ordets to report at

Sun. PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

A Physician IndorwM Die Idea That AnsItar B«adc Pntwl Throat Tnmbla. The notion that amber poeaeaaw curative properties, and that strings of amber beads worn around the neek will prevent or cure oertain diseases, is probably generally look-, ed upon as a superstition of Imaginative minds. But a recent statement of Pr. St. Ciatr, of Brooklyn, in 'The Medical Sammaty, gives quite an air of fact to the idea. He writes "That miM currents of electricity are good for the throat and its own peculiar diseases is clearly shown by the string of amber beads. It is a fact that In a string of beads there is a current of static or frictions! electricity constantly passing that will be shown by the ndlliamper* meter. Amber wss the electron of the Greeks, end is truly electric. My daughter, when a child, was constantly troubled with false croup. I tried every known method of relief and at last placed a string of large amber beads around her neck. From that day she had no trouble for at least three years, till, thinking she had outgrown the trouble, they wero left off, and inside of two weeks she had the croup as bad aa ever. The beads were again worn, and she has never had a return of the distressing disease since. I know of many cases in my own practioe, and others in the hands of brother practitioners, that amber worn around the neck proved of great benefit. Dealers tell roe they always make large quantities of amber beads to suit the pockets of all, knowing the doctors will order some one to buy them for throat troubles, and that they sell thousands o* strings." _____

Heart Failure.

It would seem that recently ah unusual number of deaths among eminent men have been attributed by the physicians to "heart failure." Some one commenting on this pronounces the phrase correct, but not very satisfactory.- When death comes the heart surely fails. It is the forerunner of dissolution in all cases. Says an eminent thinker and writer: "The heart having beaten unceasingly for, say, seventy years, at the rate of sixty-five to seventyfive beats each minute of thar time, suddenly finds its supply cut off and stops Sta pulsations, and the owner of that heart becomes clay." "I am suffocating," said Dr. Buckingham a few moments before he died. "What shall I do!" was the inquiry of the attending physician. "Nothing," was the reply. "The heart has failed. I am dying." In ten minutes the noble gentleman and skillful physician was a corpse. Seventy odd years had that heart done duty, bat now must stop and did. "But," it is frequently asked, "what causes heart failure?" and this question has not yet been satisfactorily answered. It may be old age, la grippe, apoplexy, paralysis, exhausted vital energy, loss of sleep, nervous prostration or softening of the brain

Interesting Facts About Deafness.

Dr. Francis Dowling, in a paper which he read at a recent meeting of the Cincinnati Academy of Medicine, stated that "between the ages of ten and forty at least one person in three is subject to partial deafness." Tho great majority of cases of impaired hearing are hereditary, and are largely owing to a too close consanguinity of the parents. Deafness is more prevalent among males than among females, owing to the fact that the male is more exposed to the vicissitudes of climate. There is much more deafness in America than in'Europe, and this is due to a more general use of scientific instruments, such as telephones, where one ear is used to the exclusion of the other. iii Nature's Cosmetic for the Outing Season.

The juice of the watermelon has long been known among southern girls as a beautifidr of the complexion. It is said that after along drive or summer outing few things are more soothing" to the face and hands than the water from both the pulp and rind. The first, crushed by dainty hands and rubbed on the face, takes off all sunburn, while the application of the cool white pulp next to the red meat removes the stickiness and gives a softness to the skin of the melon bather that can be obtained from nothing else. This is nature's own cosmetic.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Concerning Card Leaving and Calling After the Wedding. The period of card leaving after a wedding is not yet definitely fixed. Some authorities say ten days but that in a crowded city and with an immense acquaintance would be irqpossible. Mrs. John Sherwood, one of our foremost authorities on manners and social usages, says that if only invited to the church many ladies consider that they perform their whole duty by leaving a card some time during tho winter, and including the young couple in their invitations. Very rigorous people call, however, within ten days, and if invited to the house, the call ia still more imperative, and must be made soon after the wedding. But if a voung couple do not send their future address, but only invite one to a church wedding, thera is often a serious difficulty in knowing when to call, and the first visit must be indefinitely postponed until they send their cards notifying their friends of their whereabouts.

Wedding invitations require no answer but people living at a dial ance who cannot attend the wedding should send their cards by mail to assure the hosts that the invitation baa been received.

It is admissible where a marriage takes place during a season of family mourning or of a misfortune to issse cards simply bearing the names of tbe married party, with new address, and another card inclosed upon which is engraved tbe maiden same of the bride.

Sysumatie EateHsInmsst. Most people axe made miserable by what soma clever writer on etiquette has dubbed "systematic entertainment" "It ia imperative/" this authority reminds us, "to respect the wishes and peculiarities of the visitor. It is not infrequently the case that a visitor in the family is not allowed bo have a moment's rest, but is passed from one to the other to be talked to or to be amosed as their fsnoy may suggsst tfa* dsr these ctxeomstanoes a person often goes to bed at night worn out in body and mind, instead of fseling that the day hae been one of peaoe and rest This constant effort at entertaining ia sometimes tbe cause of the shortening of visits. The room which Is set aside In every well regulated home for the guests should be, when occupied, seated against intrusion, and tbe privacy of its closed doom should he rwpeotad. If tbe visitor shotikl see fit to spend a portion of the time in seclusion the enter tainer should not regard ft aa a sign that tbe companionship of the family has hem found unpleasant and unprofitabte."
