Some Treasnru Girla

No one who has lived in Washing
ton but knows that a majority of the
female clerks come from the best
families in the country. 1t was in
the treasury that Gov. Fairchild
of Wisconsin found his wife, and she
was the beautiful daughter of dis
tinguished public man. The pres
ent United States district attorney
for South Carolina woed and won the
beautiful Alice Ingersoll (whose IA
ther once occupied the high position
of attorney-general of Massachu-
sets from the Office of the control
Ter of currency, and l might 90 on
for pages telling who is and who has
been there, Robert J. Walker, once
governor of Mississippi, secretary of
the treasury, and retained as an able
lawyer in all prominent cases, now
has a fair young daughter, who has
recently become an orphan, and is
earning her own support in theinter-
nal revenue. Mrs. Mary johnson,
daughter ofColonel Albert, who for a
long series of years was head of the
typographical bureau, has for ten
years been a clerk in the treasury.
Her husband was consul to Florence,
and died there a short time before
the war. Not long after her father
died, and as she had two sous to rear
and educate, she laid aside all pride
and became a government clerk, or,
to be precise, female employe, for
the civil service masters say, mas
much as women are not clerks, they
cannot compete for the $1,000,
$l400s or any but 5000 positions.
There is chivalry, justice, and all the
high flown sentiments of man to wo-
man expressed! Mrs. Johnson s
boys are growing up to o4be worthy
young men, and the oldest is about
entering the naval school atAnnapo-
lis. Mrs. Tilton sister Of General
Thomas Ould, is clerk in the inter
nal revenue. The widow Of Captain
Ringgold is there. The widow Of
Major Heap is a clerk. There are
many illustrious names to be found
in all the departments. The life
these ladies' live is hard enough at
the best, without the tongue of de
traction adding to their trials. One
thing, they are constantly stnng by
the injustice done them in the diff
ference of pay between them aud the
men, while they are held to even a
more rigid accountability. There is
constant attempt to defraud them
of their salaries for any absence,
while men can frequently be called
away.

The Springfield Republican is one
of the ablesE, most influential and
most sensible of the formerly Re
publican papers which supported
Mr.. Greeley last fall. Upon some
recent political developments it
makes the following spicy comments
"The great majority of the Repub-
icons vino voted Tor Horace Greeley
were much too intelligent for any
such idiocy as the resuscitation of
the Democratic party. It is equally
a Misrepresentation to speak ofthese
voters as having deliberately under
taken to found new political organ
izstion-the The Liberal Repdbli-
can party 1t is true that some of
AlE Greeley's7 friends in, the. press
were foolish enough to use the
phrase and to make believe that it
stood for a political fact, or, at any
rate, for a political probability. 1t
Is also true that Mr.. Greeley was un-
fortunate enough to Unsupported by
few not very reputable persons,
partisans by nature and retail poll
ticians by trade. The moment these
persons found themselves--for the
first time in their lives-in the open
air, without party roof over their
heads, they fell to work to provide
themselves the familiar shelter as
quickly as possible. 1t was instinct
an instinct very similar in its char
acter and operation very similar tC
that of the ant, the bee and the bea
YER These persons were active il
getting up committees, drafting res
olutions, and putting out bombastiC
addresses. They were not restrained
by any modesty, false or genuine, and
they succeeded in elbowing their
way to prominent places on the
platform, and in making a good deal
of noise. But they no more repre-
sented the feeling or purpose of the
men who went quietly to the polls,
from sense of duty, and dropped
their ballots for Horace Greeley, than
the self-seeking office holders and
office-seekers, ring attorneys, credit
mobiler statesmen, and disguised
apostles of addition, division and si-
lence, who crowded the Grant stump
last summer and fall, represented
the men from the farms and work
shops who went quietly to the polls
from the same sense of duty, and
voted for Mr.. GreeIey's competition.
these men never took any stock in
that remarkable political edifce Con
paper known as the Liberal Repub-
lican party never incurred any re
sponsibility for it, and certainly do
not now propose to be held liable for
any political debts that it's projectors
may have contracted.
at has seemed necessary to say
this much, as the Aliens and Coch-
ranes, after a temporary retirement,
are again holding committee meet
ings and putting out calls and as
some newspapers that ought to know
better show a disposition to take
their performances du Serieur.''

Important Rnlings.

General Spinner. Treasurer of tn,
United States has made the follow
ing rulings, which are of importance
to banks and business men:
The deposit with the Treasurer OF
bonds of the funded loan of 1881
does not exempt National Banks
from the semi-annual duty on theil
circulation or deposits.
In order that administrators NAV
collect interest in the name of de.
ceased persons, they must send with
the power of attorney authorizing the
attorney to receipt for and receive
interest, copy of the letters of adj
ministration. This letter will be
filed in the Office of the Register OF
the Treasury, and will answer if at
any time the administrator should
wish to sell or assign stock.
A National Bank is not allowed to
deduct from its average deposits in
the semi-annual return the amount
due the Treasurer of State at ten
days sight. No deductions of any
character can be made other than
those specified in the form of the re-
turn, viz; National Banks may de-
duct the amount due the Treasurer
and disbursing officers of the United
States.
Coupon bonds pass by delivery,
and when stolen will be paid to an
innocent third party.
The Department will not paw ex-
press charges on new notes returned
for redemption.
Certificates of deposit and notes
payable on future days must be in
cluded by National Banks in esti-
mating their average deposits for the
payment of duty.
The Treasurer cannot waive a de-
mand for the semi-annual duty due
from national Bank that has failed.
There is no limit placed by the
law for which any denomination of
legal tender notes is a legal tender.
The notes of National Banks are not
a legal tender for any amount in paw
ment of private debts.

A New Life Preserver

The tug Ii. N. Martin took out q
party of gentlemen, Monday, to wit
ness the trial of new life preserving
apparatus, by the inventor, G. S.
Merriam of Iowa.
The instrument consists Of an in
dia rubber jacket. head dress and
pantaloons. weighing, altogether,
fourteen pounds. 1t has several air
tight compartments and when in
fated will sustain three hundred
pounds. 1t can be adjusted in two
or three minutes and excludes water
entirely. When this novel dress is
fully inflated the body is surrounded
with q stratum of air, which, being
non-conducting, keeps the body warm
even in cold atmosphere.
The inventor donned one of these
suits and leaped into the water. re-
naming for some time in upright
position.
The result of the experiment sat
isfied every one who witnessed it
that the Invention is very valuable
one.-CleoeEdnd Leader.

The Other La Mountain.

The recent dashing to death Of
@ronut La Mountain at Iona, Mich,
recalls the fact that three years ago
another @ronaut, also called La
Mountain, perished in a nearly SINH
lar manner, and not a hundred miles
from the same place. This was in
1870, at South Bend, Ind, an impa-
tient crowd cast him off before he
was quite ready, with the valve rope
tied several feet above his head; the
balloon shot into q cloud of mist
and sleet, which froze the valve
board fast. The intrepid voyager
climbed the net work and tore open
the balloon with his teeth. The bal
loon collapsed and fell, and the ero-
nant was frightfally mangled.

Prince Bismark on the German Con.
diCt

dict.
Something more reliable than a
New York World letter will be
needed to convince us that Prince
Bismark holds such sentiments as a
correspondent of that paper at
tributes to him. According to the
report the Prince is made to say, re-
garding the conflict now going on
between Church and State in Ger
many;
at is a fight of the State, empire,
monarchy or republic against God,
and in the fight the State will get the
worst of it, unless it succeeds in de-
stroying the idea of God, and
placing itself in his place. Men say
that they must have something to
worship. Well, then, let them wor-
ship the State. Let it be all in all.
Let it take the place of the family
as well as of the DIety. Let it be
the Diety. In two generations, if
we had the field wholly to ourselves,
we could obliterate the idea of God,
and of imaginary rights bestowed
on man by Him. as their Creator,
that the substitution of the State in
His place would be effected, and the
State, as in pagan Rome, be all in
ALL"
In regard to the attitude of the
State toward the Church of Rome,
according to the same veracious
correspondent, he says he cared to
war against none but that Of the
Roman Catholic Church, for the
reason that it was the most formida-
Bile. He said:
'Nothing has amused me more
than the Protestant Christians of
England and America. 1 have
wished to crush Rome that I might
crush Christianity. They praise me
for my services in the cause of what
they call reformed Christianity. If
could console me for the
chagrin foresee which / am to en-.
dure for some time to come, it would

good friends of mine when they un-
derstand the truth. But understand
it they never will" -
ALI of which We must beg leave to
say is SO extremely improbable as 10
hafdly deserve passing notice.
Prince Bismarck may not be over
rupulous, but he is no fool, and
the idea that he would confide Sc
cret of State policy to the breast OF
a Korld correspondent is too alb
surd to be seriously enter tanned.
Prince Bismarck is too sagacious a
statesman not to see that the entire
separation of church and state, and
the freedom of each in its own
sphere, are as inevitable in their ap-
proach as the return Of the seasons,
andwe apprehend that the policy OF
GerihAng Will be shA ped Accordingly

The Gordon Case in Minnosota

The Gordon Case In Minnesota.
The Minnesota Newspapers,
whatever they may think of the in
ternalional law points, involved in
the case of 'Lord' Gordon, do not
have the slightest respect for his
Lordship. The st. Paul Pioneer
handles the subject in this fashion:
"Lord Gordon" through the free
use Of stolen money, may be from
tier pet, just as other desparadoes
preserve a similar popularity in the
wilds of the West. Every bandit
has it chief, who, for the time being,
is lord Of his vassals, and holds po-
sitio1 through a free division of the
fruits of successful robbery, but
this in no way alters his relation to
civilized society. All that can be
said of such men is that they are en-
emies to the race, who should be ex-
tirminaied without conjunction,
even if their Businesses have to be
invaded. 1t is poor use to make of
any portion of the British Army, to
rush to the defense of a well known
criminal. 1t will win no more lau-
rels on that field than the Manito-
bian Government, and both may find
it dangerous experiment to exer-
else severity upon well known citI-
zens of Minnesota for an effort to
arrest fugitive felon, and bring
him to justice. If fthey set a prece-
dent of the kind, now. they mnst ex-
pect to abide by it. The population
on our northern frontier is no mood
for trifinp.

Singular Cause Of Pire.

A singular, but not unprecedented,
cause of fire in dwelling house in
Connecticut is thus referred to by a
correspondent of the Hartford
Times; "The residence of Hon. A..
0. Mills, of Canton, narrowly es-
capped destruction by fire on the af-
ternoon of Sunday, June 90, from
the following curious circumstances:
several new tin milk pans were lying
on bench on the southwest side Of
the kitchen, and the reflection from
the sun actually caused the ceiling to
take fire about five six feet above
them. The fire burned from thence
up to the cave of the building,
through the boards, and deeply
charred post of the house back of
the boards when it was discovered
and extinguished. The next day,
about the same time the reflection
was again noticed by the bright
light, and the pans were removed be-
lore the boards had ignited again.
The boards were painted red, which
may account for the ignition,

a passenger train would be along in
two hours. He rode to his fathers,
nearly quarter of mile, procured
an axe and had cut off one end Of the
tree, when the axe slipped and went
into his left foot, cutting it halt off.
He remounted the log, cut off the
other end and rolled it to one side,
leaving clear passage for the train,
then jumped on his horse and gal
loped home through the rain to look

Prepare ipf thl Cholera.
-

@Be wise in time" The
first few hours after an at
tack Of Cholera are the pre-
ciOus moments in which, if
the proper remedies are
promptly used, a cure can be
effected in almost every case.
But the old saying that ''de-
lays are dangerous" is not
more true in any case than
in negIecting to promptly at
tack Cholera when it attacks
you. Now, what everybody
wants is a medicine that they
can rely upon, one IN which
they can have perfect conf
dence that should they have
occasion to use it, it wilInot
disappoint them. Such a
medicine is the CHOLERA
CORDIAL prepared by Q. R.
MCCUIDoGH. It has been
thoroughly tested, In 1852,
when the Cholera ragged so
fearfGIly all through our
country, in Sandusky City,
where so many died, it was
the means of saving hun
dreds of lives. A nurse who
was through most of the
Cholera in Sandusky told me
that he never failed to save
a patient with the Cholera
Cordial if taken within three
or four hours of the first at
tack, and thoroughly perse-
veredin. A brother who lived
in Sandusky, and made and
sold thousands of bottles,
says of it; "That with cool
ness and presence of mind,
and the Cordial promptly
used, Cholera need no more
be feared" /"
Iprepare the Cordial after
the original formula, and
scores of families in Fremont
can testify to its reliability
in Cholera Morbus, and
many a case of Cholera has
been prevented by its timely
use. 1 feel that the Cholera
is a disease that should not
be trifled with, and that to
palm off upon the public a
medicine that cannot be re-
lied upon, would be leopard
izing the lives of all who
used it, yet I offer this with
confidence, it having been so
thoroughly tried and proved
reliable.
