subjects for the demonstrator of anatomy at

Bragg. of Wisconsin, is preparing an object
lesson for Congressman, in pressing the enact
ment of a law requiring army and navy officers
to wear their uniforms whether on off duty.
It is thought that when Congressman cannot
take morning walk without encountering
half hundred or SO officers whom they will
recognize as SUCH they will soon learn how top
heavy the national war establishments are The
officers now usually wear civilian clothes.
Joseph Niehoff, servant of Chicago, during
evenings absence of his employees MIR. and
Mrs. Kreaur, robbed them Of about $4,000 in
goods and money, and to cover his rascallty,
had two confederates tie him fast to chair
and fix him to look if he had been roughly
used. But he told his tale of two terrible ruff
fans SO glibly that the detectives suspected
him, locked him up, worked confession out of
him, captured his confederates, and, after
long search, recovered most of the booty. But
Joseph don't understand where his nicely laid
scheme failed.
The silver men have finally carefully cam
| vassed the Senate, and now claim that 50 SEN
| ators, exactly two-thirds of the whole number.
and enough to overrule the Presidential veto,
will vote for the Bland silver bill, with the two
amendments, limiting the coinage to $4,000
| 600 a month and striking out the free coinage
clause. But Patterson, of their men, Is
sick, and Butler, also OF South Carolina,
another they counted on, has turned up on the
gold side. This reduces them to forty-nine,
and increases Mr.. Hayes chances Of being
viceable to the gold ring.
The question of veracity, which at times
rather against the late President, assails
his de .tacto successor. Mr.. Stone, recently Il
candidate for re-appointment as District At
torney of South Carolina, In writing and YER
| bally, fatty contradicts the assertion of Mr.
Hayes, as reported by credible gentlemen, that
he, Hayes, urged Mr.. Stone to remain III the
office, and did not desire him to vacate. 1t is
not pleasant to be forced to believe that even
one who is only de .facto President will lie,
but it would be harder to believe that one who
would take what did not belong to him would
not lie. The burden Of proof must lie with
Mr.. Hayes. His reputation is against him.
