MIR. CresweIl Before the Postal
Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Ex. Postmaster
General Creswell was examined by the
House Committee op Postofiiees and Post.
roads to-day, and testified that the hrst
yearhe was Postmaster General there
was scarcely any straw bidding, but that
in 1870, after the examination OF certain
bids, he came TO the conclusion that they
were not made in good faith. He pre-
pared the draft OF bill which lie thought
would protect the department. This bill
was considered in the Senate. He wanted
TO exclude the manifestly fictitious bids
and in case Of the failure by the lowest
bidder TO comply with his contract, to
have the authority TO make contract
with any other bidder or outside person
This was struck from the bill and provis
ion inserted that in case Of the failure Of
the contractor, the Postmaster General
should take the next lowest, and, as soon
as thus amended, :, the bill became a law,
He then called on the Attorney General
for an opinion whether, after the failure
OF the contractor and the refusal OF the
next lowest bidder, he was required to
advertise for proposals. The Attorney
General said that he must adver-
tise. Mr.. Creswell explained, with
the aid Of official dates, the reasons
for his action in certain contracts.

there wrongfully, and that they should
be notified Of the fact; but the
Government is engaged in certain
measures that will probably result
in opening up the country 70 occu-
patton and settlement; meantime the
Indians should not be allowed to scalp
and kill any body, and you are authoriz.
ed to afford protection to all persons who
are coming away or who are conveying
food and stores 10 those already there. !
understand that arrangements are now in
progress with Red Cloud and Spotted
TaiIto remove and maintain the agency.
The Indians should be kept near the
agencies il satisfactory arrangements us
10 the whites who have intruded on the
Sioux reservation are made.

THE EMMA MINE IN ENGLAND.


In the House Of Commons this alter
noon, Philip Calan, liberal member for
Dunleith, gave notice that on Monday he
would ask Disraeli whether, in view Of
grave disclosures made through the For.
eign Affairs Committee OF the House Of
Representatives at Washington, concern
ing certain British subjects, and showing
the fraudulent suppression Of facts and
misrepresentation 10 the prospectus Of the
Emma mining company, the Govern

TURKISH AFFAIRS.
LONDON, May 26.-A dispatch from
Constantinople says, the memorandum Of
the Berlin Conference has not been OH.
cially communicated, but it is stated that
the Porte will reject it and ask the Eu-
ropean powers to keep within the limits
Of the treaty Of Paris, and not to inter.
venc in The internal affairs Of Turkey.
The Porte intends 10 call out all the
Reserves and make supreme effort TO
suppress the insurrection. 1t isFumored
that the Sultan on learning that the cash
in the Treasury was not sufficient to jnee,
the requirements, OF the public debts, pro.
missed to advance the necessary. funds
from his private purse. The Carrier D
Orient asserts that in that part Of Bnl.
garia where the insurrection prevails lis
villages, which contained 100000 inhabi'
tanis have been burned.

For burns and scalds take the white

Housekeeping is in its widest sense
homemaking. As there are little details
about cooking and table arrangement that
add 50 much to the excellence OF food in
one case and so much to the enjoyment of
the family in the other, so there are de-
tails OF arrangement and ornamentatioA
that brighten and beautify the home.

Some one, not long ago, started the
idea that sulphuric acid would totally de,
stroy stumps. An augur hole was to be
bored in the top, filled with sulphuric
acid, and plugged. In a day or two the
stump would be eaten up, even to the very
roots. The experiment was tried and
failed, only portion of the stump, at the
top, being affected. The following method
is recommended by the Scientific Ameri-
can: In the autumn bore a hole one to
two inches in diameter, according to the
girth of the stump, vertically in the Gen.
ter of the latter, and about eighteen
inches deep. Put into it from one to two
ounces saltpeter; fill the whole with water
and plug up close. In the ensuing spring
take out The plug and pour in about one-half
gill OF kerosene oil and ignite it. The stump
will shoulder away without blazing to
the very extremity of the roots, leaving
nothing but ashes.-Rural Neao Yorker.
