United States Senator. Mr.. PHILLIPS has
spoken without reserve In regard to the results
OF his inquiries, and does not hesitate to charac-
terize sARGESTs pernicious influence in public
affairs as II deserves. Frauds PERI etrated in
two years alone are estimated at $l5OC,0OO, but u
Treasury agent who was sent out to investigate
them had no sooner landed In san francisco,
than SARGENT filed charges against him that

known that ever since SARGENT, then Il member
OF the House Of Representatives, exerted him
self conspIcuousy as a partisan supporter OF
SEcoK robson, while acting az one Of
the committee which was TO decide upon the
charges brought against the Secretary for cor

made connecting him with the dishonest prac-
tees OF Federal officials In California, which
have long been matter Of notoriety.

curious thing, as wen as true one related to
the so-called superstitions, or whatever they

mind, that, at the very last Of the usual sunday
dinner parties given IN his house before his
death, there were the unlucky number Of thF.

also curious fact that, on this occasion, the

days afterward the master OF the house lay dead

The confession of MILES the burglar,
who is now undergoing a sentence Of fourteen
years imprisonment In the Vermont State
prison for robbing the Barre Bank which we
copy 10. day from the Herald, is another link In
the chain OF irresistible evidence which fastens
a large share Of the guilt OF the safc-burglary
conspiracy directly upon Gen. BAnCOCK, who at
the time the outrage was committed was the
confidential secretary and adviser e the Prcsi.

noted a criminal as the convict MILES would not

known, and fully proved the trial Of
HARRINGTON before jury packed by the Presi-
dents brother-in-law to acquit him, that Mills
was one Of the professional burglars employed
to execute the plot OF the Washington Ring,
and his story In all important points Is fully
roborated by the evidence given IN the HARRING-
TON trial, and 10y the confessions OF WHITLEY
NLrILEsHIr, and other accomplices. MILES
says, too, that the men in Washington who eul-
plovcd him made the most solemn pledges that
the whole power OF the Government should be
behind him for his protection, and every sdy
knows how well those promises were carried
out until recent developments rendered II neces-
sarv to abandon the burglars and their fellow
conspirators to their fate, just ~ MCDONALD.

No person Of ordinary intelligence ever sup
posed Tor moment that the machinery Of the
Treasury Secret Service Division could have
been used to execute the plot, and the machin-
cry OF the District courts to protect the con-
spirators from punishment, unless there had
been persons IN very high Official station cog

We have received u pamphlet published

MOODY and SANKEY Weighed In the Balances
and Found Wanting" 1t is unmitigsted jab-
ber II Is the work OF a bigot fanatic, and g
noramus, who can only. with his dull eyes, see
MOODY rs a disciple of a free-will Arminianism
In the Essence Of Popery," unsound on the
C1lviuistic doctrine OF election, and working
for the devil. The writer refers to the Scrip
lures In almost every sentence Of his pamphlet /;
but he confounds the sense " bis passages TIL
they look like the scraps lett from some feast
Of unreason. There is no doubt that MOODY Is
open to attack on several grounds; but when a
foolish and feeble writer jabbers against him
groundlessly, MOODY himself Is merely tempted
to laugh at the result.

changes for every meal, not in manners
and graces, but costume; the gentleman
parts his hair differently three times day,
encircles his neck with different colored
neck-ties just as often, gives his moustache
an entra twirl, OF his whiskers an extra
dash with the comb and cosmetic. As he
steps into the dining-room with sharp
edged piccadilly, body thrown forward,
and a young lady upon his arm, bearing
the appearance of having just emerged
from a sweat house, you have typical rep
resentations of job like patience, conceal
ing misery of tight boots and clothing un-
der smile as child like and bland as

These are bu. few of the instances
which could be given as an illustration Of
matters and things seen at watering places
that show hew people torture themselves
to escape what is termed punishment OF
the hot season at home. But if they would
leave out the very strong mixture of vani-

for these tourists than it does during the

SPEAKER hERR'S TROUBLE.

The charges against Speaker kel are
neither remarkable for monstrosity of
moral lack, nor srbstantiation by those who
have brought them. He Is charged with
having ten years ago by virtue of his in
fuence with the War Department,
obtained a commission in the army az
Second Lieutenant for the consideration of
few hundred dollars. The case has not
progressed sufficiently yet to ascertain def
initely its worth as a scandal or gossip, but
we take it for granted that those who are
managing it, Messrs. Danforth and Rass
the Republican members of Mr.. Clvner's
Committee, will not relax for one instant
the little tenable ground they have in the
case, to get square, as it might be expressed,
with those who have relentlessly piled the
whip of censure about the backs Of the
defective Republicans. The archives of
the War Department have been opened
to them. ana every scintilla Of evidence

EGYPT AZ 1T IS.

So many of our countrymen are now IN
Egypt occupying exalted positions and so
much has been said and written about the
bankrupt condition of the khedives affairs
that for the information of our readers We
translate from La .Satjstique de FEqypte,
the following:
'The great mode of enrichment of the
country Is the bringing new ground into
cultivation by means of irrigation. The
khedive has thus added to the wealth Of
his donlinions $4,000 acres and for thi,
purpose has constructed l13 large canals
and 750 smaller ones. The old water
raj ling apparatus, whose form existed at
the time of thePharoahs, has been greatly
increased, and there are estimated to be
10000 water wheels and 10000 water
poles and buckets; but to these the Coy
ernnent has added 500 steam pumps. 1t
is believed that there are 500. 900 mere
acre capable of being made f for culti-
vation. Nor has education been neglected.
Under she previous ruler, only 3 600 child
rem had the privilege of scheol training.
In 1888, 10000 were in school, and in
1875, 10000 attended the schools which
were supported by the State, where even
clothing and food were furnished BY the
Government. Among these school child
rsn, however, there were only 5000 girls
The entire annual expense for education
was s425,oo0.
The commerce Of Egypt hss increased
-reatly during the reign of the present
hhedive. The number Of vessels passing
70 and from the ports OF the country has
Goubled. The exports between 1853 an
SOB amounted IL value to at,ut 81, 800
900 annually; ID lo65-75 to $4,000 ,O0o
Of this trade, forr-ffths Of the exports are
70 England, and cvo-ltths Of the inn or.=
1rori the same country. During tbs reign
100 miles OF railroads have been null, in
Egypt, and 1000 miles OF telesr:. ph: the

THE SUMNER EXODUS

The mornings are rather TOO cool, and
the evenings too balny just ye. awhile toE
our people to consider very though,fully
an exodus during the summer to the sea
side the mountain topthe mineral springs,
a cot in some grassy dell. But the heat for
the past day or two has given the mercury
Of the thermometer such an impetus that
it has risen to a height as to render
fans and parasols essential to the fem
mine make up. These are infallible signs
that the fever for summer travelling is
coming on; the first symptoms. The air
Of the city is sitting and unendurable
without it is tempered by the cooling
draught Of wind created by p Tim leaf, or
q more ornamental article of that kind.
An airing upon the avenues loses its charm,
the Brandywine looks no more romantic,
life ceases to contain any pleasure when
spent in the city in hot weather, and the
only place to find it, is strolling on the
sands at the seaside, climbing the noun
tain side, walking across the fields or sit
ting in room ten by twelve, surrounded
by trunks and the thermometer standing
about one hundred and twenty in the
shade.
A This is what is generally the pleasure Of
the sum ner exodus; of csmfort there is
really none, Of IN overbearing society
