THE SECRET SERVICE scandal.

A Washington special to the New
York Sun, says The use Of the secret
service fund to carry elections was not
confined to New York. Thousands upon
thousands were spent in the south by
order of the president; in Alabama and
Georgia the funds of the government
were used to buy up bar-roOms, corner
groceries, etc. Evidence will be prOduc-
ed to show that men were set up in bust
ness Of various kinds wholly on govern
ment money, and on the pretext of dis
covering alleged election frauds, etc, 1t
has leaked out that the president is at
last terribly worried over the continued
downfall of his friends and the accumu-
lation Of evidence eliminating himself.
He is not disposed to be as Indifferent to
the charges against him as some Of his
supporters. He was thoroughly aroused
and excited to-day, and in general terms
denounced the statement made by ex-
Acknowledgement Williams as untrue.
He says he has no recollection Of Will
liams calling on him to disburse the
money for Davenport's use, and that if
he did it was represented to him to be a
different matter, and that he has been
deceived. The president has further re-
solved On full investigation Of the
charges.
Another astounding in proof
of the use Of the corruption fund was
ascertained to-day. Although the money
was paid by the disbursing officer Of the
department Of justice, not single
voucher for a single cent can be found to
account for II. If the money had been
used according to law, sections 2,026 and
2,OS1 Of the revised statutes, which re-
quire detailed accounts from supervisors
of elections, would have been complied
with. There u nothing to show for The
plumber but Whitely's single receipts.

The culinary art forms part Of the
education Of the women IN Germany.
The well-to-do tradesman, like the me-
chanic takes pride ii seeing his daugh-
ters good housekeepera. 10 effect this
object the girl, on leaving school, which
she does when about fourteen years Of
ace, goes Though the ceremony Of con
frmation, and then Is placed BY her
parents with country gentleman, or IN
a large family, where she remains one
or two years, filing what may also be
termed the post Of servant, or doing the
work Of one. This is looked upon as an
apprenticeship to domestic economy.
She differs from servant, however, in
this-she receives no wages; on the con-
trary, her parents often pay fer the care
taken Of her, as well as her clothing.
This il the FIRST step in her education ~
housekceper She next passes, on the
same conditions, into the kitchen Of
rich private family, Or into that Of
hotel Of good repute. Here she has con-
troll Of the expenditures Of the servants
employed in it, and assists personally in
the cooking, but IS always addressed as
miss, and is treated by the family with
difference and consideration. Many
daughters of rich families receive sim
liar training, with this difference, how
ever, that they receive it in princely
mansion or a royal residence. There is
a reigning queen in Germany at the
present time who was trained in this
way. Consequently the women in Ger
mary are perfect models Of economy.
