GEN. RICE, the Washington attorney
mentioned by Gen. Custer, was also ex-
amined before the committee. He adj
mitted that he had secured four post
traderships for various parties for vari-
u considerations. From one person
he got $4,000, from another $4,000, from
a third he got one-halfo of the netprofits,
and from a fourth he got one-third of
the net profits. He and Gen. Belknap
had been residents of Keokuk, Iowa;
had served in the war and were on
friendly and intimate terms, hence his
success in getting those appointments.
He denied that Belknap knew any thing
of the money which he (Rice) received
for these appointments, or that Belknap
had " received any thing in consid-
GRAFTON therefor.

child of 'em sneezes once every day.
Thus, you see, there is enough muscular
power expended in sneezing in this
poor, fallen world of ours in a day to
raise ten pounds a foot high 100000
600 times. How highs that? Why,
that is 1000, 900, 900 feet high, and no.
body wants ten pounds that far up; but
we'll say it's equal to raising 10, 900, 0O0,-
600 pounds one foot high. Now, that's
enough force to run every locomotive on
the American continent, with enough
over to pump water for every city in the
land. Now, isn't it?"
$50 it seems"
"Well, then, here's all this
amount of force going to waste. Here
we are deliberately throwing away an
amoun of force which is represented in
locomotives and steam pumps by thou
sands of tons of coal. And as muscular
exertion can only be produced by the
consumption of food, here we are sneez-
ing away bushels of vegetables, acres of
bread, and whole herds of cattle, and
all for whatP Why simply because
something tickles the human nose.
Now, is this right? III leave it to your
calm, deliberate Judgment to say if this
is the correct thing"
at don't seem So"
"Well, then, what ought we to do
about itP Why, clearly, if we would
save this force, if we would reserve it,
hold it back for some good and useful
purpose, we must induce men to stop
sneezing. And in order to do so | have
invented a brass nose gripper, which is
to be clapped on to the nose when you
feel a sneeze coming, and it will stop it
off short. ! am going to introduce it to
the public. want every one of those
1000, 100000 people to have M and
use it. Now, amt that a big thingp
Amt I going to be a genuine public
bencfactorP Beautiful idea, amt itf
Where's any thing even invented by
Franklin or Sir Isaac Newton that's
anywhere near that for genius, heyP"
"There is one thing l don't exactly
see, Mr.. McGrue."
"Wha is it? Out with it. You can't
stump me. The things perfect"
"Why, | want to know what you're
going to do with all that force when
you have saved itp"
"Wh-wh-wh-what d'you say?'
elbow are you going to take the
strength II man saves by not sneczing,
and put it with the strength Il lot Of
other men save, and pump water with
it?"
"Well by George! Now, do you
know that never occurred to me! Thun-
der! l haven't the least idea what to
do with all those suppressed sneezes.
No use at all, are they? Blame ne, if
l wasn't as full of the fgures about the
amount of force that would be reserved
and so busy getting the brass nippers
fixed so they'd hold on to the nose that
it never. struck me about bringing that
muscular power into play. TOO bad
now, isn't it? Well, now, I'll go home
and think it over and maybe I'll strike
something in the shape of an idea and
then I'll call around and let you know.
But don't you go blowing it around be-
fore I get.it licked into shape, or you'll
spoil the whole thing"
Then he put his brass nippers in his
pocket, polished up his hat with his ell
bow, unlocked the door and adjourned.

AT the Rhode Island State election,
held on the 9TH, there was no choice for
Governor by the people, but Henry
Lippett, the Republican candidate, and
present Governor, has a large plurality
and will be reelected by the Legisla-
ture. The vote on Governor is as fol-
lows: Lippett (Rep.), 1857; Howard
(Prohib.) }, 6,3s5; Beach (Dem.), 1902.
The Republican candidate for Secretary
of State is elected by a handsome ma
jorty. The Legislature is strongly Re-
publican, and it is believed that An
thony, United States Senator, will be
reelected.

ADDITIONAL testimony in reference to
the sale of post-traderships was given
before the Congressional Committee
by Gen. George A. Custer, who testified
that Robert T. Sippe, post-trader at
Fort Abraham Lincoln, told him that
his profits were $4,000 annually, one
third of which was paid to Gen. Hcdrick,
of Iowa, and one-third to Gen. Rice, at
Washington. He did not know, but he
understood that a portion of it went to
the Secretary of War. Mr.. Raymond,
the Indian Agent at Fort Berthold,
said that he paid Orvil Grant
$1,000 for getting him the place.
Gen. Custer also testified to other
matters duplicating the Secretary of
War, and in reply to the interrogatory
-"Did you ever represent the facts to
the Secretary of WarP"-witness re-
plied-"No, sir. was as suspicious
of him as l was of any sutler. We re-
garded the Secretary of War a silent
partner in almost all the posts" Wit
ness further gave as a reason why he
and other army officers had not previ-
ously given information of abuses
known to them, the fact that by an or
der dated March Is, 1873, army officers
were strictly prohibited from having
any communication with members of
Congress in reference to army affairs
except through the War Department,
and were not allowed to visit Washing
ton during a session of Congress except
under the most stringent regulations.
