DeIanO's Dilemma.
- -. A.. r,.-..s....,,.s r..,---s-,v

Special 70 the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Well-founded rumOrs are afoat TO the
effect that Commissioner of Internal Reye-
nue. Pratt will step down and out at an
early day. He is said TO be an sspirant for
DelanOs shoes, and those in a position to
know say the President has expressed him
self favOrably to Pratt. His retirement
from the Revenue Bureau is not, however,
contingent on DelanO's resignation.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
Charges Against the Agent OF the
NaVaJOes.
A petition has been received here from
the chiefs of the NavajOes, requesting the
removal of Gov. Army, their present agent,
and presenting serious charges against him.
The document has been for some weeks in
the hands of the Presbyterian Board of
Home Missions, under whose auspices the
agents of New Mexico are appointed. The
following is a synopsis Of the charges:
First-We can place no reliance in his
(Arny's) word, he has so often deceived us;
he is a great prevaricatOr of the truth, aud
tried to cause dissensiOn among US.
SecOnd-He resorts to threats and c0er-
coin to make us sign papers of which we
have no knowledge, telling us he will give
us no more presents in the shape of annui-
ties or anything until mis- bidding is full
filled. On our return from Washington he
presented a paper for signature which con-
tanned an abstract Of flour, etc, given to
chiefs of the Indians during the time the
greater number of us were in Washington.
We, the principal chiefs and head men Of
this nation, do sOlemnly testify that he
Nv. F. NJ. Arnyl has never issued such
quantities of the articles mentioned in the
time named. On our refusal to sign such
paper, he threatened to lock up our annuity
goods and not issue them until we signed.
Finally, we had to cOncede to get our just
dues and prevent distress and nakedness
among our people.
Third-At the last issue of annuities he
kept back the greater part of the goods,
whereas our treaty expressly states that We
shall receive goods to the amount of five
dollars, each and every Indian. This past
ssue we have received about S2 80 per
lead-putting the goods at traders price
here in place Of the proper allowance.

OCCASIONALLY there are indications
that the third term question is not en-
tirely dead yet. Out in Nebraska they
seem to think there is still sorrething
in 1t, for The Omaha Herald says:
Democrats or Republicans who spec
ulate upon the Presidency would do
well not to count out Ulysses S. Grant
as candidate. With Roscoe Conkling
and the New York Custom-house a
sworn enemy of Blaine, if he cannot OBJ
tain the prize himself he viii throw it
to Grant as certain as sunshine. Gen.
Grant is just as much a candidate as
ever, and all who think otherwise are
badly fooled. New York in the strong
hands Of Roscoe Cankling Will decide
that little heaTtache."

to financial affairs and the relations ofcap-
ital and labor.
The EUeTing Standard says:
cit is fact well known among those
who were personally intimate with ex-
President johnson, that while entertaining
a sincere respect for the religious belief of
Others, he himself was unsettled in mild
in reference to the world beyond. Hisnat-
ural leaning was apparently towards the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and while in
Washington he was an attendant at st.
Pauls Lutheran, and also of the Foundry
Church, towards the completion of which
he made very liberal contribution. In
conversation with friends, however, he ex-
pressed grave doubts as TO the correctness
Of the theory on which is founded the COM
monty accepted doctrines of Christianity,
and seemed TO find satisfaction in specula-
tion as TO the life hereafter. He was a
great admirer of Swedenborg as an inter-
prefer of the Scriptures, and those who
knew him best are of the opinion that his
religious belief cOnformed more nearly to
the SwedenbOrgian faith than any other"
KNOXVILLE, TENN, Aug. 2.-The old
shop where Mr.. johnson once worked as a
tailor is sWathed in black, as is also his Of
fee, the books and papers in the latter be-
ing just as he left them.
Special to the Chicago Times.
Mai. Pettibone, Assistant United States
District Attorney for East Tennessee, who
is a fellOw-tOWnsman of Mr.. johnson, tells
me that Mr.. johnson, last Sunday, had a
conversation with him concerning bis
health, during which he stated that since
his recovery from a severe attack of cholera
two years ago, he had never fully recovered
the use Of his lower limbs, and was at
times conscious of extreme difficulty in
making his lower extremities, from the
limbs down, obey the beheSts of his will,
often stumbling in walking, and some two
weeks ago, in fact, having falleniand bruised
his side and face considerably.

MEMPHIS, Aug. S.-The Appedl'S Jack
son, Mississippi, special says the Democratic
Conservative State Convention which as
sembled at the Capitol to-day was the
largest aSsemblage since 1861. Ali promi-
nent men Of the State were present. The

man of the Executive Committee. a
temporary organization was dispensed
with, and ex-GoV. Chas. Clarke declared
President, and J. L. Power Secretary.
After the appointment of a Committee on
Resolutions, Col. Lamar addressed
the meeting at length, arraigning
in the seyerest manner the government ad
ministratiOR and opposing the madness of
the sO-called color line. Hon. w. L. Hem.
mingway was unanimously nominated for
State Treasurer. The platform reported by
the committee and adopted by the 'cOnyen-
tiOn is mainly confined to State matters.
IL adheTeS to the fullest extent TO civil and
political equality of all men, and asks aid
and assistance Of voters of all parties, of
both races, in the establishment of good
government. The color line is wholly ig-
nOTed.

Our dispatches this morning give
brief accounts Of the disastrous floods,
resulting in great damage to crops and
property in the Ohio valley. Rail-
roads have suffered considerably by tie
overflow, miles of track being washed
away, and bridges carried off by the
swollen streams, impeding travel to a
great extent. The lowlands along the
Wabash river In Indiana and Illinois
are submerged, and in consequence
thousands of acres of growing crops are
utterly ruined.

4 SMALL SIZED VESUVIUS.
Seventeen Tons OF Molten Metal
Turned Loose.
Memphis Ledger.

Turned Loose.
Memphis Ledger.
On Saturday afternoon the fire bells rang
out an alarm Of fire, caused by an accident
which happened at the foundry Of E. f.
Risk & Co, OH Court street, east Of the
Charleston railroad depot. An immense
mass Of metal, weighing about
seventeen tons, had been melted
and poured into a reservoir for the purpose
of casting the iron work sUbstructure Of a
cotton compress for Mr.. A. Montgomery.
The mould had been prepared with care
and was surrounded with heavy iron cast
ings, all ready to receive the molten mass
Of metal at givenSigual. The gate or slide
Of the reservoir was worked by lever power,
but ewing TO some inattentiOn was left
without a guard. The tremendous weight
OF the metal within the reservoir forced Ip
the gate or slide, and the red bot mass
rushed out, Kissing and blazing, all over
the mould and into the pit. The flames
and sparks flew i'm every direction, setting
on fire the roof of the building and stair
way leading up and into the pat
tern making room. The IRE
was eNtinguis ed before any mate
rial damage could be done 10 the building,
but seventeen tons Of metal were chilled
and fused into a confused and solid mass
in and around the mould, causing loss Of
$1,000 to the prOprietoss. The casting
was the heaviest ever attempted to
be made in this city, and the
accident is much TO be deplOred,
as every precaULiOn was taken 70 make
the cast a comp etc success. Fortunately
none Of the mOulders or employers were in
jured by the rush Of red hot metal, that re-
sembled an eruption Of lava from Vesuvius.
Our reporter visited the scene Of the acci-
dent yesterday, and even then
smoke and steam came up from
the mould and pit where the i'm
mense mass of metal was hidden from
sight and was slowly chilling. We under
stand that the enterpFising prOprietOrs will
at once 20 90 work and re;Delt the iron and
attempt the casting again, which viii be in
about a week or ten days, it taking that
time to make all the necessary prepara-
tions for so heavy and scientific an unler-
taking.

CURINGIHEADACHE WITH A SIX
PENNY NAIL.

A strange and remarkable case was
brought under the attention Of Or. Tate, Of
Augusta county few days since. He was
called to see Mrs. Taylor, wife Of Mr.. Rob
ert Taylor, living about three miles from
Greenville, and found that she had driven
a sixpenny nail into the back Of her head,
which, after much difficulty, he succeeded
in extracting. The nail had been driven
in several days previously, and by her own
hand, 1t was discovered by a daughter Of
hers while eOmbing her hair one day, and
she insisted on keeping the fact secret, but
her daughter sent for DR.. Tate, as above
stated. She told her daughter that she
had driven the nail in several days before,
with the flat side Ofa hatchet; that she had
been suffering with violent pains in her
head, but since driving in the nail she had
been entirely free from them. Some years
ago she had been confined in the Western
Lunatic Asylum, and has for some TINE
been partially deranged. If the uail pene-
trated the skull, as l understand it did, it
is very remarkable case, and one Of much
interest to the medical fraternity.

THE State election in Kentucky last
Monday resulted in a complete Demo-
cratic triumph. McCreary, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, is elected
by a largely increased majority over
Harlan, Republican. The indications
are that McCreary's majority viii reach
fifty thousand-a gain of ten thousand
over Leslie's majority in 1871. The
meagre telegraphic service In Kentucky
makes the collection of election returns
tedious, but sufficient has been received
to Justify the belief above expressed.

THE manufacture Of glucose, or corn
syrup, should be very profitable in this
country. The foreign article, of which
Immense quantities have been imported
since 1867, is charged 20 per cent. duty,
besides ocean freight. This advantage
to the home manufacturer is enhanced
by the fact that the raw material in the
United States is far cheaper than in
Europe. A bushel of corn in Illinois
costs from 30 to go cents, in New York
IS cents, while the European manufac-
turer Of glucose and grape sugar has to
pay SI25.

ENGLISH WOMEN'S AIT IN DRESS
T..raor, rn-r.srnrl lI.rro ~ tI,n ~ vi

We have seen something of the happy
hOme-life of Observation-Disclosures, natural,
yet exquisitely reiged-the cor cOrdiJUa Of
English society, ard We have seen a little
Of fashionable life on one or two gay Oc-
casions. One dancing party, though large
and carrying weight in the shape Of two or
three titles, went of in the most dashing
and blithesOme way. l saw there
toilets on English ladies not TO
be surpassed in Paris, and worn
with a perfect grace. Il is a popular fallacy
that English women Of the upper class do
not know how to dress; and, by the by, the
injurious charge is often made by their eOun-
trymen. There was at that party in GloH
cester Terrace a great deal Of beauty, as a
matter Of course-high-bred and high
cOlored English beauty-and high-spirited
and somewhat low-tOned American
lOveliness. Perhaps our most eff
fectiYe representative was a young
daughter Of Horace Greeley, who
even in London is not only distinguished
by her bloom and the fine classic character
of her head and face, but for the perfect
simplicity and maideuly mOdesty Of her
tOilet-the fitness aud fit of her dress.
