THE HAND THE GOVERNMENT WILL
IKE IN THE BIG CEN"ENNIAL.-The
Centennial Committees of the several
Government Departments have decided
to erect building ON the Centennial
grounds for the common use of the De-
partments. The ground for the founda-
ton will be broken this week. The De-
partment Committees have delayed act
ion until now in the expectation that the
General Commission would either give
the Departments sufficient space or fur
nish them a separate building. The
Commission has decided not to do this.
Congress appropriated $500,0 for the
use of the Departments, of which not to
exceed $3.50, coo could be expended upon
building. The cost of the proposed
building will be $75, 900. 1t will be in
the form of Greek cross, in the center
of which viii be lighthouse, illustrat-
ing our lighthouse system. The De-
part1nents are much embarrassed by the
unequal distribution of the sum allowed
by Congress. Two of the leading De-
partments have each only SIS, 900, while
some of the subordinate branches of the
service have been given 100000.

A SAD SCENE IN CoURT.-About half
past 10 o'clock Friday morning lady
| leading little girl entered the Fifth
district courtroom and took a seat in
the lobby. She was neatly dressed in
| black and quite pretty. After while
witnesses, jurymen, clerks, and then
the Judge came in, and the crier opened
court, A prominent attorney stepped
forward and read petition setting forth
on the part of the husband that his wife
had strayed from the path of virtue, and
had taken up residence in house of i'll
repute, and that she was not the proper
custodian of the little girl. A writ of
habeas corpus was prayed for. Judge
Collum took up the case, and after hear
ing witnesses, decreed that the father was
the proper custodian of the girl. After
the Judgment had been rendered, the
mother still held on to her offspring and
walked ont of court hurriedly carrying it.
At the head of the stairway the father
stopped her and said to her that the
court had decided in his favor. He took
hold of the child when it commenced to
cry ''mammal mamma - The mother
retained some of her womanly nature,
as the fast-falling tears showed. A large
crowd gathered, silent spectators of the
sad picture. At last, choaking with
emotion, the father was prevailed to
take the child quickly from the mother,
which he did, the little one crying for its
mamma. One went out of one gate, the
other the other, and probably their
course through life is divided forever.

A CORRESPONDENT of a New York pa
per having made the statement that ply
sicians who attended persons fatally in
jured by the burning of church at
Holyohe, Mass, had given drugs cal
culated to hasten death and release from
the torture incident to their sad condi-
ton, the leading practitioners in this
city have published a care of denial
They say : ssThe admins tration of NOR
phine to those who were burned beyond
any possible hope of recovery at the con-
fiagration of the French church, in this
city, was at all times with a due regard
to the sanctities of life. During the war
there came under the treatmentof one of
the signataries hereto case of soldier
who had been shot through the stomach
the ball becoming imbedded in such a
manner as to render extraction imprac-
ticable. Plood was freely vomited, and
n severe case of peritonits supervened.
The patient was placed under the infiu-
ence of morphine until there were only
four respirations per minute. In this
condition the wounded man remained,
with little variation, for period of eight
days, and yet finally recovered. The
administration of morphine to the I'M
happy victims of the Holyoke church
disaster was in no case in sufficient
quantities to affect respiration. In
point of fact, many of those who were so
treated are living to-day, although griev-
ously mutilated. As to the nature of
the Injuries sustained by those involved
In the fatality, no one save those who
were actually on the spot could realize
the horrors of the situation"

HIRAM A. REED, formerly captain
ON Lake Erie, has received advices from
the American consul at Paris, of the
death of Frenchman, named Goloke,
who has left him, by bequest, the sum
of so, 900 francs. It seems that during
the year 1881 Reed was captain of the
schooner Ontario, and that when on the
passage from Buffalo to. Toronto, he, at
the peril of his life, saved the wife of
Goloke, who had, during squall been
swept overheard. Reed has already
taken steps, by means of affdavits and

reasonable doubt seems to exist but that

WHEN Gen. Cluseret was all-powerful

officer not understanding Cluseret' s
motive, but thinking that he wanted
Pichon promoted, had hin forthwith
made lieutenant. A few days later
Cluseret said again, "You are not losing
sight of Pichon, are you 90 Again, pro-
motion followed, and before long, by

The Chicago Tribune truly remarks ::
s"The Republican nominations in Wis
consin gain upon the people, as the Con-
vention is calmly and soberly reviewed,
and the tickets conceded by the Bourbons
and Reformers to be Unexpectedly strong.
The dissension and strife which they
counted upon were wholly absent, and
there is general feeling among all par
ties that the Republicans of Wisconsin
have laid out campaign plan which will
cause distress and anxiety in the ranks
of their adversaries.'

dessicated cocoanut to 4 parts grated
apple, or part of fresh grated cocoanut
to B parts apple, and add the requisite
amount of sugar. The latter is readily
determined by the taste, but no rule can
well be given, since some apples require
more sugar than others. 1t not suffici-

BULL-FIGHTING IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA.

A correspondent of The San Francisco
Chronicle, writing from San Luis Obs
pc, June 81, says: EST. Johns day, on
the oath, was celebrated by the Spanish
American population by having grand
bull-fght at the cuesta or summit OF the
Coast range, abont four miles from town;
and as some of your readers may never
have seen bull-fght, / will give you a
short description of this relic of the
olden pastimes of this community.
Some ten or fifteen of the widest bulls
that can be found are placed in small
corral One of a larger size, say 100
feet in diameter, is made to connect win
it, and at a given signal one or two bulls
are let into the enclosure, band of
music being in attendance, whereupon
the torandor, or chief bull-fighter, enters
the enclosure with small red flag in his
hand, and, after bowling to the audience
always providing the bulls attention Is
dlawn), faces the bull about the centre
of the enclosure. Whereupon the bull,
seeing the flag, Immediately makes the
attack. The toreador, waiting until the
bull comes within a few feet, holding
the flag in either hand, springs to one
side and the bull passes on. Oftentimes
the bull makes feint in the attack, de-
CelVlnS the bOredIlOr, anu before he GILL
prepare himself for another, he in turn
is attacted in the rear, and either escapes
injury by jumping over the enclosure,
or is gently elevated over by the bull.
On this occasion one of the chief torea-
doris, displaying more agility or nerve,
came off victorious with broken arm
and numerous bruises, for which he was
highly applauded by the spectators, the
audience consisting on this occasion of
great portion of the elite and deni-
monde of the town, visitors from abroad,
and dealers of banking games generally,
it being gala day. The performances of
the day closed with grand ball, given
in honor of the chief actor in the bull
ring, which was kept up till the wee
hours of the morning, most of the dam
