A number of persons. it will be recolected,
were made sick by partaking of custard at
the wedding of lady at Louisville. Poison
was supposed to have been contained in them.
The affair has not yet been solved. Two mem
bers of the family have come out with detail
of the facts in the papers Of that place, in which
they state that the custards were made by sis.
ter. "After having made one with which she
was dispeased, she made another, both of which
were cooked in a bell metal kettle. They were
made alike, and there was nothing in the COM
position of either but the usual ingredients. In
the first, loaf sugar was used; in the second
brown. The first was then put into tin YES
sci, and the vessel not being sufficiently capa-
cious to contain the whole Of it, the remainder
enough, perhaps, to have filled tea cup
was handed to member of the family, who
ate of it herself and gave some to a servant
standing near her. Neither of them was sick
from the effects of il. The tin vessel was set in
the dairy room with ice around it, and the con-
tents were not used until the next day, when
the custard, although curdled was not sour. It
was then distributed at the houses Of the rela-
tons of the family; and all who partook OF It
died or were sick. The unfortunate deceased

ALEXANDRIA:
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY "a, 1894.
WEST POINT ACADEMY.

The Board of Visitors lately appointed to ex-
anime the Military Academy at West Point has
reported generally in favor of the proficiency
of the Cadets, and the state of discipline there
kept up. Some OF the Board have, however,
made sub report, expressing their views as
to abuses which exist in relation to the appoint.
ment of Cadets, and their exclusive title to pro-
motion in the Army.
We are pleased to see this. With regard to
both these subjects, we have heretofore taken
occasion to express our views. There is no
doubt but that great favoritism does exist in the
appointment of Cadets, and it is also certain
that injustice is done in closing the avenues of
promotion, in the military service, to all but the
pupils of the Academy.
The feeling that prevails hostile to the West
Point Academy, is, we perceive, increasing.
Many look upon it as an institution not exactly
in accordance with the proper policy OF our 60
vernment. There are many things correct in
the reasoning of those who propose to abolish
it, and the course which has been pursued has
not contributed to make it either more valuable
or more popular. In this, as in all the other
branches of the government, abuses are liable
to creep in and contaminate the whole. These
can, we trust, be weeded out without destroying
what may be brought under the searching ope
ration.

KINGS IN AMERIcA.-Information has reach
ed London from Bnenos Ayres of certain Off
cal disclosures at the latter place, indicating the
existence of an European intrigue to subject
the South American republics to kingly govern
ment in the persons of Don Carlos of Spain
and other branches Of Peninsular royalty.
secret sitting OF the House of Representatives
was held at Buenos Ayres in February, at the
request Of the Minister Of Foreign Affairs. We
quote the following
"It is stated that at this sitting detail was
rendered (received by the last packet from En-.
rope) Of plan which is imagination to provide
monarchs for the South American Republics
that conference for this purpose had been late
ly held in Paris, at which the ministers of the
absolute sovereigns, and various South Amer
can agents, including Senior Bernardino Riva-
davia, assisted. The latter assertion seems 10
US as most improbable. Senior Rivadavia must
be too well acquainted with his own country for
moment to countenance such an absurd pro-
ceeding."
The Gaceta Mercdntel ridculed the project
but nevertheless believed in its existence. The
Monitor designates the papers as "oficiaI do
cuments relative to the project Of the Court of
Madrid, to establish monarchies in the South
American States"

Mr.. RANDoLPH's Wn.L.-At the late term oil the
General Court of the Commonwealth OF Vigln'
ia, held at Richmond, paper purporting to be
the last will of John Randolph, of Roanoke, was
offered for probat on behalf of John Randolph
BRYAN, an infant and principal devisee, by his
next friend and grand father, Judge Coalter;
motion was thereupon submitted on behalf of
John. Juba and Essex, (slaves of MIR. Randolph
to permit them for themselves, and the other
slaves, to appear as parties and to oppose the
prooat of the said paper and at the same time to
offer for probat as the last will, another paper, by
which they and the other slaves were emanci-
pated. These motions on behalf Of the slaves
were overruled by the court on the ground, that
while in condition of slaves they could not le-
gally be admitted parties to any proceedings,
other than a suit in form pauperis, or bill in
equity, for the recovery OF their freedom. Up
on this decision being announced, the same
motions were submitted in the name and on be-
half of the Right Rev. Mr. Meade, one of the
Trustees named in the last mentioned paper,
which were allowed, and he became party on

FROM MExIco-By the arrival Of the brig
William, Capt Martin, at New York, We are in
possession OF advices from Vera Cruz to the
Sd of July, which confirm fully our previous i'm
pressions ofthe treachery of Santa Anna. Aid
ed by the priests and arstocracy, this {" Military
Chieftain" is evidently determined to estab-
fish despotic government, and establish the
power of the priesthood in all its most danger
Gus forms.
By the adyices now received it appears that
the States of San Louis Potosi, Guadaaxa, Xa-
catecas, Guanahuata, and Tamaulapas, were the
only ones known to be in open hostility to st:
Anna. Some of these are large and powerful
states, but are not able to contend against the
more powerful forces ofthe Usurper. Querele-
no, a state in the neighborhood Of Mexico, came
out with declaration against st. Anna, on the
instant of learning his treachery, but has since
been converted to his side by the powerful
force of arms. The city of Puebla held out and
was invested by st. Annals troops-but 1t was
not known that the state Of that name would
be willing or able to aid the city in its oppo-
SitiOn.

DR.. B. Washington of the Navy has written
long letter on the subject of Temperance, which
is published in the American Temperance Re-
corder. We have nothing to object to the Doc
tors general views in favor of the great object
for which he writes, but we observe one sem
tence in his letter which we would notice.
Speaking of the use ofrum and tobacco, he says
"They are the cause Of the desolation that
has spread over the whole State of Virginia
a desolaton scarcely paralleled in the history
of the world"
Now, we should be pleased to hear something
further of this unparalleled desolation" in the
State of Virginia. for it is the first time that
we have ever read of it. We do not know that
rum and tobacco have been more prejudicial in
Virginia than elsewhere; and we repeat, that as
for any unparalleled desolation" from the use
of these articles in that state, We never before
heard or read of it.

MIR. MADISON.

We have read with emotions OF delight and
qualification some recent letters, written from
those who have lately had an opportunity of
conversing Familiarity and friendly with this We
nerable man, and enjoying his company at his
own residence They speak Of him as yet
blessed with the mems sana-calm, sagacious,
and disadvantages and polite-good
tempered and discreet. His heart is full of his
country: he does not hesitate to speak Of pub
lie affairs and public policy, though he abstains
from party politics and the contests Of the day
for power and place. His views with regard to
the proper encouragement Of manufactures and
American industry in all its branches-his con-
victon of the importance Of well regulated
currency, and the continuance OF National
Bank to effect this, &c. &C., he expresses with
great force, precision and effect.
Mr.. Madison is very aged; but his own regu-
lar habits, and the affectonate care with which
his health is watched, trust, with the blessing
Of Providence, may prolong his lite and that
he may yet continue te see his country prosper
Gus and happy. His house and family present
a picture of the most perfect domestic happi-
ness. Retrospecton, to him, must bring plea
sure, and the prospect of the future has nothing
to disturb his equanimity Of mind. He will
calmly and peacefully sink under the weight of
years, satisfied with long life of usefulness,
and triumphing in the joyful hope of bless
ed immortality.

AT the time of the sailing Of the Huntsville,
the city was uncommonly healthy. There had
been no cases of malignant fever, and few on

like fruits and vegetables.
