The Wine Question in the White
House,

The ultra temperance people will
hardly know whether to be satisfied or not.
Some time ago it was announced that no
wine would be given at the White House
dinners during the present incumbency
but if such a rule had been determined
upon, it was broken last Thursday when
the Russian Dukes dined officially with the
President. This was in accordance with
the representations of the Master of Cere-
monies, who pointed out that the imperial
visitors would not know what to make of
cold-water dinner. The ultra temperance
people will probably argue that this was an
excellent opportunity of giving those dis
tinguished foreigners little useful informa-
ton. No wine glasses were placed at the
plates of the President and his wife; and
so the Dukes did acquire some knowledge.
They learned that the President gave them
TO drink of that which he thought it wisest
not to drink himself. Morality, however,
did not demand the absence of the glasses !:
IN accordance with etiquette, they might
have been placed at the plate of the host,
and filled. He was not obliged to empty
them. The name of Mrs. Hayes is freely
mentioned in connection with the wine
question, and it is understood that the
proposal to Danish wine from the Presi-
dents dinnertable is particularly in ac-
cordance with her wishes. We are not
disposed to speak hypercritically of these
1t is unnecessary to say that the drinking
of too much wine has worked great deal
of harm throughout the land generally, and
in Washington particularly. 1t is true
that we have never heard of any deep
drinking at the White House dinner-table
But Mrs. Hayes probably knows that there
has been some excess at other Washington
tables, and in certain Washington circles.
She is naturally anxious that the President
should set good example in this respect,
and we must say that we think her anxiety
creditable. She is by the laws of society
mistress of her own table, and no gentleman
who may be her guest will desire to do any
thing which may be unpleasant to her.
Putting the matter upon this simple ground
of good manners, American citizens who
fully comprehend all the bearings of the
question, though they may not themselves
be totally abstinent, will not think or say
hard things of lady for the sake of a glass
or two of wine. Gentlemen do not un.
favorablY criticise the dinners to which
they may be invited, nor do they accept
invitations merely that they may be filed.
If Mrs. Hayes Glanced to be of the Hebrew
class, would any sane visitor grumble
because she did not give him pork chops ?

"THE MANANosE. Says a correspon.
dent of the Baltimore Sun: =" 1 was sur
prised at recent statement by the An
napolis correspondent Of Baltimore dsily
paper in reference to the "mananose." :"
That correspondent claims that the mana.
nose is exclusively a production of An.
napolis waters; that the said bivalve is not
mentioned in the books, and therefore is
unknown to conchologists.
Whereas to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, the mananose is probably the most
widely disseminated of all edible shellfsh,
not even excepting the oyster. Itabounds
in nearly all salt water shadows that are
periodically uncovered by the tides, and is
highly priced as a succulent morsel, taking
rank almost as high as the oyster. The
name "mananose may be an indigenous
product of Annapolis, but the ancient city
has no monopoly of anything but the name.
Their scientific name is mya arenaria, and
elsewhere than at Annapolis they are
known as soft shell CLANS. On the coast OF
New England they are exceedingly
abundant, and are much used"

Gov. HAMPTON on NEGRO SUFFRAGE.-
Wade Hampton reiterates his determine
ton to secure, so far as his efforts can ac-
complish it, equal and exact justice for all
citizens, of whatevor color, race, or party,
and he reaffirms the pledges to uphold and
sustain the colored citizens in all their
rights. In speech made on Thursday at
Charleston, to an audience in which there
were many colored Republicans, he took
occasion to assure them that they had
nothing to fear from his administration :;
that SO far from being in favor of depriving
them of the right to vote, he was one Of
the earliest advocates of the measure which
gave them the suffrage, and still approves
it. He claimed indeed to be more sincere
in his support of negro suffrage than many
Republicans who originally advocated it
but are disappointed in its results and
would like to be rid of it. Referring to his
position on this question, he said: IL was
the first man in America-certainly the
first in the South-who advocated the
granting of the right to vote to the colored
man. That is on record"

Randall's Rough Route.

Maj. Randall, whose reported massa-
ere, together with his entire band of
Crow scouts, caused universal sorrow
throughout the country had an extreme
ly narrow escape from death from star
walton and exposure with the company
of Crow Indian scouts enlisted by him
for service under General Crook. He
was 81 days making the trip from the
Judith basin, in northern Montana, to
the cantonment of Reno, Wyoming.
His command in crossing the Big Horn
mountains had to wade through five
feet of snow on a level and were COM
PEELED to subsist for nine days on raw
buffalo meat. His Indians came upon
the trail of the Cheyennes rsylted by
Mackenzie in November, and picked up
a number of pennies abandoned by the
enemy..

The DISARMAMENT.


The troops composing the late Pow
der river expedition have all arrived at
Fort Laramie, whence they will be dis
tributed to points throughout the De-
partment of the Platte. The Fourth
cavalry will take stations at the Indian
agencies; the companies of the Twenty
third infantry, Fourth artillery and
Second, Third and Fifth cavalry are
expected in Cheyenne about the 10th
inst. The Fourth artillery will imme-
diately return to the Pacific coast, and
the Twenty-third infantry, under Colo
mel Dodge, proceed, by way of Omaha
to Leavenworth, Kansas. 1t is believ-
ed here that the garrison at Omaha
Barracks will be strongly increased
within the next few days.

Marriage and Pistols.

The little town Of Mount Carmel,
Kane county, Utah, has had its sensa-
ton and social scandal. A young man
named James Blazzard, loved a rather
interesting country damsel, and she re-
turned his affection with interest !; but
her papa didn't like Blazzard, and
hence forbade him the house. How
ever, providence, or something else,
usually comes to the relief Of lovers;
and Sc it happened in this instance.
The stern parent left the town on bust
ness and Blazzard caught the oppor-
tunity and was secretly married to the
girl, another young man performing
the ceremony. The twain were happy
in their welded life until the BRIDES
grandfather interfered and took her to
his home, claiming that the marriage
illegal, the youth who tied the knot
having no authority to oficiate in such
cases. Blazzard went to the grandfath-
er's house and demanded the surrender
of his wife, and, being refused, drew a
revolver, and a general melee ensued,
in which me lady was shot in the
thumb and another through the shoe,
neither seriously, especially the latter.
Young Blazzard was pretty badly beat
en- and afterward arrested.

buildings r going up rapidly. South
Battle Creek empties into the main

and a new district called the "Young

About four miles below Hayward is
where Jenney pulled up the famous

is about ten feet down to bed rock on
the claims close up to town, with very
coarse gravel and some stones for the
lower third of the distance. On claim
No. IA, below discovery, the owners
work right along, building fires close to
their shaft in cold weather, bringing logs
down from the gulch above their claim
for the purpose. They claim they can
average twenty-five cents to the pan if
allowed to choose their dirt, and the
amount mentioned has been taken out
time after time by outside parties.
Custer City is growing rapidly and
solidly. Two new hotels have been
erected there and several other new
buildings. The place now contains
over 500 inhabitants, and among them
a considerable number of families. Gay
vile, above Deadwood, Cent,al City
and Golden Gate, are all growing. At
the former place Pierson s. Co. have
taken out $40, 900 in two months, and
just above Lardiner & Co. are extract
ing rich pay. Other placer claims on
nearly all the streams will be idle until
spring.
AT Garden Gate, four ~arastras are
running night and day, and Capt. Nj
coils, one of the proprietors, expects to
clean up, at the end of the month, at
the rate of $50 to the ton, or in the ag-
gregate about $4,000. The ore used in
this mill is from the vein called the

schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic,

AND MANDRAKE Pills. These deser-
vedly celebrated and popular medicines
have effected a revolution in the heal
ing art, and proved the fallacy of sew
eral maxin;s which have for many years
INSTRUCTED the progress of medical
science. The false supposition that
''Cop sumption is incurable' deferred
physicians from attempting to find
remedies for that disease, and patients
afflicted with it reconciled themselves
to death without making an effort to
escape from a doom which they suppos-
ed to be unavoidable. 1t is now proved,
however, that Consumption can be cured,
and that 1t has been cured in a very
great many cases (some of them appar.
emily desperate ones) by Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup alone; and in other cases
by the same medicine in connection
with Schenck' sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake T.lIs, one or both, according
to the requirements of the case.
DR.. Schenck himself, who enjoyed I'M
interrupted good health for more than
forty years, was supposed at one time
to be at the very gate of death, his ply
sicians having pronounced his case
hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate.
He was cured by the aforesaid medi-
cines, and, since his recovery, many
thousand similarly affected have used
DIR. Schenck's preparations with the
same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each. max
ing it not absolutely necessary to per-
sonally see DIR. Schenck unless patients
wish their lungs examined, and for this
purpose he is professionally at his pin
cipal office, corner Sixth and Arch sts.

letters for advice must be addressed.
