MIR. Brown, the Chief Clerk OF the
State Department, has heretofore been .
very courteous and affable gentleman, and
on this account we are the more astonished
at his treatment ofs representative of this
journal last evening. The latter had Oh
tanned peremptory order from the Secre-
tsry Of State, addressed to Mr.. BRowS, di-
reciing him to furnish our representative
with q copy Of the instructions TO the
Louisiana commission. The order was
presented TO Mr.. BRowN at the
Metropolitan Club. Instead OF
obeying II. as he was in
duty bound. Mr.. BROWN refused,
saying that he could not give the documea,
10 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, Is it was
against the rules of the Department to fur.
nish information to newspapers except
through the Associated Press. Our rep
resentative replied that the order Of Mr..
EvARTs LEFT Mr.. Brown no option in the
premises: that i! was positive in its char
acter, and If he disobeyed it he did so at
his peril. After considerable parley, Mr..
Brown very reluctantly consented to com.
ply with the instructions of the Secretary
of State, and the necessary paper was de-
livered TO our representative, and ap-
pears in this mornings issue. We can
not imagine Mr.. Browns motive for dis
eliminating againt the NATIONAL RErUB-
LIcAN, which, as he and everybody else
knows. is the leading Washington news
paper, in favor Of the Associated Press.
From the latter we receive only tele-
graphic news. The Associated Press does
not furnish US departmental or local news
since we employ force Of writer's and
news. CATERERS four times larger than that
in their service here. We are clearly en-
titled to receive at first hand all the infor-
nation the Associated Press is. and we
propose to obtain 1t at all hazards.

TIE TILDEN QUO WARRANrO

There is quaint humor concealed in the
composition of Mr.. TILDEN that no one
who is familiar with his leading traits
would have ever suspected, If 1t be fact
that he is shout to contest the Presidency
in the courts. That q man 90 given
to the practical and welded to the
profitable in life's ventures should so far
sacrifice his material interests and his char
acter for the discernment of the real, how
ever mixed and intermingled with the il.
lusive, as to proceed by quo warrasto to
obtain the Presidency Of the United States.
when the issue has been decided against
him according TO law by the political de-
partments Of the Government, and when
there is no Jurisdiction TO reach the evil
dence--or rather to create it-upon which
alone he rests his case, can be accounted

Mysteries of a Lump. of Coal,

For years no one supposed that a
piece of soft coal, dug from its mine or
its bed in the earth, possessed any other
quality than being combustible, or was
valuable for any other purpose than as
fuel. 1t was next found that it would
afford a gas which is also combustible.
Chemical analysis proved it to be made
of hydrogen. In process of time me-
chanical and chemical ingenuity devised
a mode of manufacturing this gas and
applying it to the lighting of buildings
and cities on a large scale. In doing
this, other products of distillation were
developed, until, step by step, the fol-
lowing ingredients or materials are en-
tracted from it: 1. An excellent oil to
supply lighthouses, equal to the
best sperm oil, at lower
cost. 2. Benzole-a light sort OF
ethereal fluid, which evaporates easily,
and combined with vapor or moist air,
is used for the purpose of portable gas
lamps, so-called. 2. Naphtha-a heavy
fluid, useful to dissolve gutta percba,
India rubber, etc. 4. An oil excellent
for lubricating purposes. 5. Asphaltum,
which is a black, solid substance, used
in making varnishes, covering roofs and
covering over vaults. G. Barrafne-a
white, crystalline substance, resembling
white wax, which can be made into
beautiful wax candles; it makes tenn
perature of ITO degrees, and affords an
excellent light. All these substances are
now made from soft coal.

Separating into squads OF ten, the
red men rode out on the prairie. White
Devil stood still, ears flat to his head, lip
down, and one foot raised n little. When
three of the squads were in pistol shot
they halted and thirty rifles
covered the brave lone horse. While
they were thus held he gathered his feet
like cat and dashed at the nearest
horsemen. A roar of rifles and a vol
ley of bullets stopped him. Struck by
q score of balls, he halted, reared up,
shook his beautiful head in agony OF
pain, and fell and died without groan'
The Indians gathered around but they
did not exult. AS they stroked his
glossy neck and sleek sides they said to
one another:
she was brave! We will paint his
picture on our war shields, and the body
shall be buried from the wolves!'-Neao

Horrors of the War.

Count Tatchiteff was sent over in the
afternoon with a flag of truce to en-
deavor to make some arrangements
with a view to the interments OF the
Turks and Russians who fell in the az
fair of the 18th of September between
the hostile lines, and whose dead bodies
still lie there injecting the air. The
Red Cross and the Turkish substitute,
the Red Crescent, were Immediately
run up, and the allied troops ceased
firing, but the enemy pounded away as
usual at the Roumanian siege works,
and although 1 believe that some con-
vention was agreed to, it is scarcely like
ly that it will be respected in the future
any more than it was on the last occa-
sion, when two surgeons and four men
with stretchers were killed while at
tempting to aid the wounded who had
fallen during the assault on the enemy's
redoubt. AS not day passes without
skirmish of some kind between the
outposts of the advanced works, a num-
Der of men are wounded, and If they
are not lucky enough to be able to get
out of the zsne of fire with their COM
rades as these retire, their sutferings
and fate are too dreadful to think
of. Sometimes they die of
thirst or of their wounds, or now of the
inclemency of the weather, and if they
venture to make movement are at
once taken as target for Turkish bull
lets. have seen several who have lain
in trench three or four days at time,
without food or drink, in the sickening
expectancy of assistance which never
came. Their fellow-soldiers could hear
their groans and cries, but it was GER
tain death to venture into the open, and
there they were forced to remain, profit
ing by each moment of darkness to
crawl to the next shelter, to recommence
their painful journey on the succeeding
night. The distance was often incon-
siderable, but one man with his foot
shot off managed, after seventy-two
hours of weary waiting, to crawl nearly
two miles. He had been in the affair
where, from want of support, Gen.
Skobeleff had been forced back, and was
wounded early in the day. The ambu-
lance people had not seen him, and he
had been left behind, so he crept under
pile of corpses, and, knowing that the
enemy cut off soldiers legs to get their
boots, had pulled off his, and so escaped
observation.-NeaUY York Times Letter
