Romatic Scandal In . PIitsbusg Hos.
pitA1.

From the Shenandoah Herald.
ST. Franciscus Hospital, a Catholic
institution in Pittsburg, has recently
been the scene of very romantic of
currence. Some five or six months
ago young physician obtained the
appointment of fassistant physician to
the hospital. He received no pay for
his services further than his board
and unlimited command Of the wines
and liquors of the establishment. Re-
siding in the hospital were several
nuns and sisters of mercy, who had
taken VOWS of eternal celibacy. One of
these, however, happened to be young,
beautiful, intelligent, and attractive,
and the young ply ysician soon became
deeply enamoured of her, and, not
withstanding her ivows, her love for
the fascinating young physician be-
came as strong as his for her. In the
daily association of hospital life they
had frequent opportunities for speak
ing in that language which requires
not words for utterance, and eventu-
ally the young Romeo prevailed upon
the not unwilling Juliet to renonnce
her secluded life. So one bright
morning, not more than week ago,
the fair recluse was not to be found !;
in the stiffness Of the night she had
flown, without even so much as bid
ding her companions adieu. The
Mother Superior of the establishment
proceeded to make an investigation of
the affair. As the result of her in
quiries she accused the young physi.
clan of having assisted in the nuns
escape. To her surprise, he did not
deny it, but openly acknowledged
that he had opened the doors for the
nun. The Mother Superior became
exceedingly wroth and informed the
physician that his services would be
dispensed with in the hospital. The
physician is but little over nineteen
years of age. The nun is q young
lady who formerly resided on the
South Side, and is likewise by those
who know her much, esteemed for
her many virtues, as we'll as for her
beauty and intelligence.

Local editors are never more per-
picked than when attempting to
"write up" the various "home enter
tainments' which are provided for
every community. If the notice is
general and the commentator also,
somebody complains because somc-
thing especially meritorions is not se-
lected for special praise. IL the pub
Usher discriminates and does select
something or somebody for distinct
i've notice, then those omitted are Of
Tended. II Is Scylla and Charybdis

tered. The editor Of the FL Paso
(Ill.) Journal tried both plans. First
he generalized over q dramatic exhi-
bition, and nobody was satisfied. To
repair damages he noticed everybody
and everything, from the "leading
actor to the janitor who cut his thumb
in cleaning . lamp chimney; from
the rise of the curtain to the fall there.

Agricultural Items.

California farmers are worried
over bug that has three legs, a long
tail and vicious head, that is eating
their wheat.
The man who stopped his paper
lately, because he could not afford it,
lately sold q hundred bushels OF
wheat at twenty cents per bushel Less
than the market price.
Coal ashes scattered on the stable
floor will absorb the liquid manure,
prevent the cattle from slipping and
falling, afford an excellent addition
to the pickings of poultry around the
place, and can afterwards be spread
on the soil.
Estimating the produce of an acre
in oats at 80 bushels, they will con-
tain 450 pounds of flesh forming food
and 672 pounds of fat-forming food
while three tons of hay of the same
acre will carry 4SO pounds of flesh
formers and 2,79O pounds of fat.
formers. Hay is a standard food for
cattle.
A Western New York farmer, in
the Country Gentleman, says that the
corn growth on his farm is from the
same that has been planted from year
to year for the past eighty years, and
by careful selection Of seed each
year, it has greatly improved, and
now yields very much more than il
did at first; that it yields him sixty
bushels per acre, and that he has
gathered it well matured ninety-five
days after planting. He further says
that lie has resown the same oats
grown on his farm for the past thir-
ty years.

Tho President on Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, June 22-It is
thought that at least week will
elapse before the civil service reform
rules will be ready for promulgation.
From private utterances of the Presi-
dent it is inferred that all Federal
officers will be prohibited from tax
ing active part in political manifes-
tations, becoming members of politi-
cal conventions, or serving as men,
bcrs of political committees. The
President, in recent conversation on
the subject said that while the en-
forcement of such rule might. and
probably would work some injury to
the republican party for little while
to come, yet it was sound in principle
and he would insist on its being
strictly observed. In the end he
thought the republican party would
be benefited by it. 1t was brought
to the Presidents attention, yester-
day, that in large Atlantic cities like
Boston, New York and Baltimore,
the manipulation of the republican
primary elections had for years been
mainly directed by Custom House
and other Federal officials The
President said he was pretty well
cognizant of all these facts and the
time had come when there must be a
change. He had no objection to any
of the Federal officers who thought
that patriotism and duty to party de-
manded that they should manage
primary meetings and conventions
on resigning their Offices, but they
must either give up one or the other.

WITu Disraeli as Premier of Eng
land, the Rothschilds holding the
purse of Europe, and Belmont
among the foremost bankers and
politicians in America, il would
seem to be a little puerile, con-
temptible and shoddyish for Judge
Hilton, the executor of the estate of
A. T. Stewart, to exclude the wealthy
New York banker, Seligman, from
the Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga
because he is jew.
The Stewart millions were made
by the yardstick, while the Seligmans
of New York, San Francisco and
New Orleans, made theirs at shent
per shent, and it is altogether likely
that the latter have as well-establish-
ed grandfathers as the former. In
the meantime if old Hilton expects to
secure vast amount of unfavorable
advertisements, and thus drive many
decent Jews and Gentiles from his
high-toned roost, he has probably ac-
complished his purpose.

Salt for Cabbages.

According 10 the experience of
New Jersey farmer, given in the
Practical Fruit Recorder, salt is nec-
essary to the perfect development of
cabbages, especially in places far
from the coast. They are more crisp,
of better flavor, and keep better in
consequence of the application of
salt. He uses il as follows: "a few
days after setting out the plants, and
when they are damp, either after or
before rain, or when the dew is on,
I take a small dish Of fine salt, and
walking among the rows, sprinkle q
little pinch of salt on the center of
each plant. When the leaves begin to
grow l repeat the sailing, and when
the center of the leaves begin to form
the head, l apply the salt again, scat
tering it over the leaves. After this
l look them over occasionally, and if
1 find plants that do not head well, or
appear diseased, l sprinkle the salt
over freely. This will save all such
plants. A quart of salt is sufficient
for 500 plants in a season, although
more can be used with safety"

The Hon. DANIEL ID. PRATT, OF
Logansport, Indiana, died at his
home on the 18th inst, of dropsy of
the heart. He was an unusually large
man, having grown very corpulent
with advancing age. For some time
past he has betimes experienced a
difficulty in breathing. AT the time
of his death, however, he was feeling
quite well, and was sitting in his
chair debating to his daughter let
ter she was writing for publication,
giving history of early times about
Logansport. Senator Pratt was elect

agents; in Montana, where the Agen-
cies to which this Dubuque firm are
licensed to trade, the Episcopalians
are in power. And we understand that
this policy is adopted in large part to
meet the religious predictions Of
fhe Indians. The Montana tribes pre-
fer the Episcopalian agents the Kan
sas Indians, the Quakcrs, and others
other denominations as they are
predisposed. The license granted to
this firm of Dubuque merchants rests
on the recommendation of
the Episcopal Church of the North
VESTS, and is in no sense q political
or partisan movement. 1t certainly
could not be partisan as to Mr..
Thompson, as he is a pronounced
Democrat, though the other two of
Tho firm are equally pronounced Re-
publicans."

Fred Douglass Visits His old Home
and Gives the Coiored People
8on0 Advice

BALTIMORE, June 19.-Marshal
Douglass, of the District of Column
bia, visited, yesterday, St. Michaels,
Talbot county Maryland, for the first
time since he left there fugitive, Al
years ago, and was well received by
his former master, Capt. Thos. Auld,
and by VIM. w. Bluff, who taught
him reading, arithmetic and geogra-
ply fifty years ago. In an address to
the colored people Marshal Douglass
said: 'If in twenty years from now
the colored race, as race, has not ad-
vanced beyond the point where it
was when emancipated it is IA doomed
race"
He encouraged them to earn mon
ey and keep it. A poor people are
always a despised people; to be re-
spected they must get money and
property. Without money there is
no leisure, without leisure no thought.
without thought no progress.

free soup.
1t is, according to the Medillian
philosophy, all wrong for a Senator
or Repres entative who knows all
about the wants of his district to rec
ommend man for Office, but all right
and in strict accord with civil service
reform for an editor with o handful
of dirty types, to 60 to Washington
and hector the President into the ap-
pointment of his friends to Office, and
the cons equent removal of his ene-
mics,
