The Public Buildings Commission, in view
of the great importance of the work they have
in hand, and the character of the opposition
out the wishes of majority of the people of
Philadelphia to have the public buildings
erected at Broad and Market streets, have one
clear and obvious duty to perform-that is,
to proceed with the work of breaking the
ground and laying the foundations with as
much rapidity as possible.
If the buildings are once fully under way
the anti-Penn Squareites will be obliged to
cease their opposition, but it is evident that
so long as there is the slightest shadow of
chance that they may be able to obstruct this
great public improvement they will not yield,
and every possible device will be resorted to
to prevent the buildings from being erected.
The pecuniary interests involved in retaining
the public offices and courts in their present
location are immense, and the property
holders in the vicinity of Washington and
Independence Squares would prefer that the
city should have no new public buildings than
that they should be erected upon Penn
Square, and thus cause the office-letting bust
ness in the neighborhood of Independence
Hall to be broken up. The character of the
opposition to the Penn Square project is so
we'll know that it is remarkable it should be
able to obtain even hearing at this day. and
the Building Commission should as rapidly as
possible proceed to lender impossible any
further agitation of a subject that has been
definitely settled by the Legislature, the votes
of the people, and the Supreme Court.

with the actual outrage il contemplates.

light in this city; but as the party accused is
hedged round by wealth and responsibility, it
will of course be hushed up. 1t would never

Charles Victor Hugo.

Charles Victor Hugo, eldest son of the
celebrated poet, and one of the most
distinguished writer's of France, sudden
ly died, a lew weeks ago, from conges-
ton of the brain, in the prime of life
maturity of intellect.
The earlier and later years of his life
were wholly absorbed by politics. the
greater portion of the intervening time
having been spent by him in literary
pursuits and labors.
In 1913, when only twenty years old
he was attached to the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, as Secretary of NJ. de
Lamartine.
Until 1851, he was the principal edi-
tor Of the newspaper, called the Event,
founded by his father in 1913, in con-
Quoting which he was aided by his
brother, NJ. Francois Victor. Having
published remarkable article on
"Capital Punishment which at one
time was the theme of general COM
ment, he was tried, found guilty of
abusing the liberty of the press, and
imprisoned for the space of two
months.
After the coup detat he and his
brother voluntarily accompanied their
father into exile, where they remained
until nearly the end of the Emperor's
reign.
While living in the island of jersey
he published Il series of works of great
intere t, of which the following are the
principal 81 lie Cochon de Soint-An-
tome" Saint Anthony's Pigg' }, 1857,
in three volumes, a great pantheistical
fantasia /" La Boheme doree," 1859 /;
two volumes LA Caaise de Paille,"
1859; :" Une Famille tragique," 1860,
previously published in the Presse; Z" Je
vous Anne a comedy in one act, 1861,
etc. His drama of /" Les Miserables, :"
prepared by him for the stage at Brus-
sells, was great success, and evinced
remarkable powers of adoption.
In 1869 he and his brother founded
the Rappel, a newspaper radically OPP
posed to the empire, the editorship of
which he preserved up to the time of
his death.

BiliOusness and Indigestion.

These two complaints more general at this sea-
son of the year than at almost any other They are
closely akin for biliousness always involves an i'm
paired digestion and Indigestion is necessarily an ac
compartment ofa disordered or torpid liver. Happy

has never felt the horrors ofdyspepsia and TO whom
that great secretve agent the liver has given
pain trouble. Not one in thousand can lay claim
to entire immunity from irreguarty in these organs
How, then shall they be regulated Not by powerful
cathartics, alternated with ordinary stimuants but
but by medicinal invigorant, like Hostetters Stom-
ach Bters which combine in due proportion the tonic
and the Alternative principle. Wherever there is a
church. schoohouse and general store this famous
medicine may be procured. No village merchantfuds
it prudent to be without it, for it is inquired for every
day by every class. The workingman buys il because
it increases his capacity for toll AMI is followed by no
reaction. The effect of the salubrious roots herbs
etc., of which il is composed dfuscd through his sys-
tenn by the pure stmulant which forms the basis of
the btters, is most healthful and invigoratng The
scholar, the merchant, and in fact all men whose
minds or bodies or both in constant exercise will
derive benefit from its use To persons of sedentary

ton, and is the best known remedy for constipation

A Strange Woman.

About twenty miles from the Healing
Springs in the Allegheny Mountains,
there lives most remarkable woman.
Her name is Morrison, but she is known
all through the country as Miss Jennie
Rucker." She is about sixty years of
age, has her hair bobbed like mans,
wears a mans hat, and rides horse
astride. Hunting is her means of live
lihood, and she kills deer, bear and
other game with the skill Of forty years
experience. Not long since she wound
ed a deer, but before coming up with it
another hunter-a man-had gotten to
it and commenced carving it up. The
old lady expostulated with no avail,
and finally drew a bead on him with
her rifle to enforce her rights" The
fellow jumped behind tree, but left
his heel exposed, at which vulnerable
pot the old lady fired and hit. She
got her deer. She has nine or ten chill
dren, and is said to treat all travellers
Hospitality who stop at her cabin. She
uses tobacco, but never gets further in
swearing than "by zounds," which is
her favorite expression. If any woman
wants her rights let her flee to the
Allegheny Mountains.-Letter from Bath
county, Va.

How the British Secret Service Money
is Used.
From the Leeds Mercury.

Secret service money has long been
one of the favorite topics of denuncia-
ton with advanced Liberals. Many at.
tacks have been made upon it both in
and out of Parliament, but hitherto it
has withstood all assaults. What pur-
poses il is devoted to are known only to
the Government and to those who are
charged with It's administration. Nomi-
nally the Secretary of State is supposed
to superintend its distribution, but this
duty is in reality, for the most part, dis
charged by the permanent Under-Secre-
tary, Mr.. Hammond. Mr.. Rylands,
ever on the alert for abuses, has discov-
cred that this money, which is annually
voted by Parliament for a specific pur-
pose, is used for others for which it was
never intended. Consuls' widows, it
seems, receive pensions out of it, and
members of the diplomatic service de
rive approximations to their salaries from
the same source. Thus, as the honor
able member for Warrington has dis
covered, man who receives a Foreign
Office appointment at fixed salary,
which is known to the public, if he
chance to be in favor with the authori-
ties at Whitehall, gets very large year
ly gratuity out of these secret funds, re-
specting which the public have no
know. edge whatsoever Nor Is this all.
1t appears that when a consul, by his
own imprudence, gets into monetary
difficulties, it has been the practice to
help him out of the scrape by redeem
ing his obligations out Of the secret ser
vice Golfers. These and other matters
of similrr character were privately
brought under the notice of Lord En-
field by Mr.. Rylands, but the noble lord
received them with an incredulous
shrug, and escaped from the difficulty
by demanding proofs of the allegations
Accepting the challenge the honorable
member for Warrington gave the noble
lord the name of public official who is
actually in the receipt of 600 yeal
from this very money. This gentleman
occupies one of the highest and most
influential positions at the Foreigl OF
fees, he is well paid by the nation fol-
the discharge of his duties and yet he
receives the very large annual sum 10y
way of subsidy. Lord Enfield has no.
attempted to deny that this is the case
but when pressed upon the matter
bluntly replied that he could give nc
information whatever respecting the APP
plication of the secret service money
The money is distributed solely 10y tn,
Secretary of State and Mr.. Hammond
and they alone knew the purposes fo
which it is applied. Mr.. Rylands, how
ever, is not content with the answer h,
has received, and it is his intention t
take the earliest opportunity Of revivins
the subject.

Hydro EXTRACTOR. = An apparatus,
called the hydro-extroctor has been de-
vised for the purpose of separating
liquid substances from any more solid
matters with which they have been
mixed, and is said to be especially APP
plicable to the manipulation of liquid
colors, such as are used in printing
office. The arrangement in question
consists of a cylinder, formed Of fine
brass wire, which is made to rotate
within another cylinder of sheet iron,
which terminates below in kind Of
funnel. If the substance to be treated
be introduced inside the sieve cylinder
and then made to revolve with consid-
cradle velocity, the finer and more
liquid parts will pe thrown out through
the meshes of the gauze, and, striking
against the outer cylinder, will trickle
down and pass off through the funnel
into any receptacle, the solid parts re-
naming behind. This process is ex-
tremely useful in the case of the colors
just mentioned, which it is usually very
difficult to strain. The principle in
volved is not by any means new one,
since it is employed in various branches
of industry but it is claimed to be
especially convenient in preparing the
liquid colors used in printing.

A Living Fortune.

The Opelousa Journal has this article
1t is said that Mr.. Lastie Dupre, of this
parish, owns about twenty thousand
head of cattle, ranging over the greater
part of Southwestern Louisiana, from
Bayou Teche on the east to the Sabine
river on the west, and from Bayou Chi
cot on the north to the gulf on the
south. His principal vacherie is on the
Bayou Nelpique, about thirty or more
miles west of Opelousa, on the line be-
tween the parish and Calcasieu. His
agent or stock-keeper, residing at this
vacherie. is a colored man, who has been
in his employ for many years, and in
whose honesty and ability he has inn
plicit confidence. The colored man is
said to be worth about fifteen thousand
dollars, made in Mr.. Dupre's service.
From this stock of cattle between two
and three thousand calves are branded
every year. The stock-keeper is com
pensated for his services at the rate of
fifty cents in silver for each calf brand
ed and this is the greatest or only ex.
pense incurred in raising the cattle.
The entire stock are worth not less than
two hundred thousand dollars. The
annual revenue derived from the yearly
increase can not be less than fifteen
thousand dollars, clear of all expenses
1t is probably much more.
