senator could disprove by simply read
ing Matthews own letters!
1t is not IL pleasant thing to know that
q man in the Senate of the United States
is self-convicted of untruth. When Mr..
Matthews took this agreement. in which
it vas clearly set forth that Anderson
was to be taken care of "for suppress
ing evidence which shows that Louisi-
ana was fairly carried by the Democrats" "
ne knew what he was doing. When he
worked night and day to get Anderson
a place, he knew why he was doing
it.
When Mr.. Matthews says Anderson is a
bad man,. the question comes Oh the
tongue Then why did you endorse him
so strongly Mr.. Evarts Mr. Matthews
seems not to have found this out until
ter days ago. He knew that Anderson
vas capable of, for he had the agree
ment under which he promised, for a
consideration, to suppress evidence
showing ''that Louisiana was fairly car
ried by the Democrats"
Mr.. Matthews does not deny his letters
and signatures, for Anderson has them to
prove what he says. 1t seems that at
last Anderson went to the President and
showed him IL copy Of the agreeme mt
with Nash, and then only did the Prcsi-
dent try to do anything for him. He
wrote to Mr.. Evarts "Giye this man a
consulate in u warm climate; this is a
sneci,l coSa,' r. r. IT.
1t is not pleasant thing to believe,
even of a political opponent, that he has
sunk so low as has the junior Ohio Sen :
ator. It is we'll he goes out so soon.

A SENSATION COMING-DARRALL
LETTERS TO ANDERSON.

WASHINGTON, June 6-The sensation
which the Committee expects to give the
country will be the publication Of OK
Congressman Darralps letters to Ander-
sou. The letters, it is sad, give com
plete history of the alleged frauds COM
mitted in Louisiana. Darrall became
disconteuted with some OF the rcpubll-
can managers soon after the inaugara-
ton, and in his correspondence with An
dersou he talked plainly of matters
member of the Potter committee says
that the developments already made are
nothing compared with what Is to come

England's Naval Reserve.

The Royal Naval Reserve, the men
belonging to which can be called under
the pennant by royal proclamation in
times of ofemergency, consists ofmcrchant
seamen, who undergo certain amount
of training in gun and small-arm drill
every year. On first joining the force
they enroll themselves for five years;
those who are bona tide able seamen,
who can hand, reef and steer, being
placed in the first-class reserve, while
those of inferior qualifications form the
second class. Every man in the re-
serve has to drill twenty-eight days in
each year; but he may, if he chooses,
divide the whole period in four parts
of seven days each, after his first drill,
which must be of at least fortnight S
duration. If he has permission to stay
away from England for more than a
year, he must on his return make up
arrears; and therefore in the twelve
months following his return from a
long voyage reserve man may have
to drill for six weeks or two months.
Provided he complies with the regula-
tions and performs the required drill,
the first class reserve man receives q
retaining fee of twenty-nine dollars a
year, paid in quarterly installments,
and five dollars and five cents week
while undergoing drill. Trained men
receive a penny day extra pay. A
man in the second class is given an an
nual retainer of twelve dollars, a suit
of uniform clothing, and four dollars
and sixty-five cents a week while at
drill. After completing five years serv-
ice in the reserve he may re- enroll for
a period of like duration, and at the age
of sixty he becomes entitled to pen
sion of fifty-seven dollars and sixty
cents a year. No man who is over
thirty years of age is allowed to enter
the reserve, unless he has been in the
Royal navy, when he may be- enrolled
if he is less than thirty-6ve years old;
and, therefore, to obtain pension a
man must have belonged to the reserve
for thirty years; but men who become
incapacitated from earning their own
living by causes they could not pre-
vent may be granted a pension after
twenty years service, and a man
wounded or hurt while at drill or when
called out is treated in all respects as
man belonging to the navy.-M Y.

What the Thumb Does.

A writer suggests in the following
paragraphs a convincing argument for
the existence of wise and skillful, a
far-seeing and all-powerful, Designer:
Have you noticed that when you
wanted to take hold of anything bit
of bread, we will say that it is always
the thumb who puts himself forw ard,
and that he is always on one side by
himself, while the rest of the fingers
are on the other?
If the thumb is not helping, nothing
stops in your hand, and you don't
know what to do with it. Try, by way
of experiment, to carry your spoon to
your mouth without putting your thumb
to it, and you will see what long time
it will take you to get through a poor
little plateful of broth.
The thumb is placed in such a man
ner on your hand that it can face each
of the other fingers, one after another,
or altogether, as you please; and by
this we are enabled to grasp, as if with
pair of pinchers, all objects, whether
large or small.
Our hands owe this perfection of use
fulness to this happy arrangement,
which has been bestowed on no other
animal except the monkey, our nearest
neighbor.

Keely's Motor.

Keely, the new motor man, is still at
it. His machine having been pro.
nounced fraud, delusion and a
snare, the stockholders of the company
have declined to advance further sums
to be expended upon the perfection of
the machine, and Keely is now wrest-
ling with his theory single handed and
alone. One hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars have thus far been ex-
pended upon the construction of the
apparatus, while over million and a
half have changed hands in the rise and
fall of stocks. Keely is now making
his arrangements for final test, and
when everything is in order he proposes
to invite Edison and others to his labo-
ratory and either blow the whole affair
through the roof or demonstrate his
claim to being the greatest inventor
that ever shed blessings upon humani-
ty. The general impression is that the
motor machine is like Orpheus G. Kerr $
cannon.

Il is not easy for anybody TO under
stand, without seeing, the processes Of
the work itself, what fineness of touch,
as well as swiftness and accuracy of
movement, are required in the various
landings of these sheets of postage
stamps. Here are benches and tables
occupied by girls in removing lunches
of the printed sheets from the boards,
after the hydraulic presses have done
their part of the work, and after the
perforating machines have done theirs.
How quickly, how deity, the piles of
sheets are loosely evened' and
counted, all by one motion! 1t is diff
cult to see how the operators can do it
without making serious blunders. But
they perform their work with surpris-
ing accuracy. Each operator has her
own quantity, all counted, delivered,
and charged to her; and this must all
be counted again by herself, and SUBJ
sequently by others. The sheets are
counted before and after printing-be-
fore and after drying before and after
gumming-before and after pressing
and perforating. These quadruple
guards and tests insure accuracy, so far
as human contrivance can well do it
and not the least wonderful part of the
work is the swift manipulation which
forms part of the counting. And yet
there are country Postmasters-and
city Postmasters-who more than semi
occasionally complain of not getting the
exact number they order.
Seven hundred million stamps year,
This appears to be the present rate OF
demand and supply for the great Amer
ican public. The New York Postoflice
orders twice month-an order for about
100000 each time. The so-called
spoiled stamps-rejected for one or an
other imperfection, even slight one
are packed up in large paper bags and
burned every Monday morning. l did
not ascertain the total percentage OF
waste, but the perforating machines,
with their waste of Z per cent, seem
to be responsible for the largest part OF
it.--M Y. Cor. Hartford Tunes.

THE INVESTIGATION.
WASHINGTON, June 25.

WASHINGTON, June 70.
To-days proceedings were quite varied.
Mrs. jerks was cross-eXamined again without
effect. Gen. BoyntOn was also taken in hands
again by Ben. Butler without proving any
thing of Importance. Butler seemed to be
reaching after the Louisiana Commission.
The committee having decided to go into the
matter of the visiting statesmen, it leaves But
lera wide field for operations. The mostimport-
ant part of to-day's proceedings was the state
ment, uuder oath of eX-Marshal Pitkin, of
Louisiana. When he was placed upon the
stand to-day, instead of answering orally, he
asked leave to submit written statement of
his connection with James Z. Anderson. The
committee, after some parley, granted his re-
quest. 1t will be remembered that Anderson
testified that he signed the East Feliciana pro-
test in blank and did not swear to it that Pit
kin atterward filled in the protest, and when
Anderson subsequently asked to see the pro-
test Pitkin refused to show it. Pitkin's state
ment to-day was clear and succinct in every
particular, leaving no room for the remOtest
doubt in point of detail. Pitkin denies An
derson's testimony in every important partic-
ular. He said that Anderson wrote in his own
hand the original protest, and swore to it be-
fore notary entirely of his own yOliton.
This was informal, and Anderson subsequent
ly signed and swore to a second formal pro-
test before Judge Campbell. Pitkin was so
explicit in his story, giving names, dates, etc,
that it leaves Anderson virtually stranded so
far as his yarns about that protest are con-
cerned Pitkin also intimated 10 the commit
tee that the first protest in AndersOn's own
handwriting could be produced.
1t is the intention of the Florida sub-com-
mittee to meet tomorrow. Two more wit
nesses have been subpGnaed, being Gems.

WASHINGTON, June 26,


Mrs. jerks was before the Potter Commit
tee again to-day, and said she may have let
ters from Senator Kellogg not yet submitted
to the committee, but declines to present
them without the consent Of that gentleman,
which that gentleman gave through Judge
Shellabarger, the Senator added that he was
desirous of having any and all correspondent
between himself and Mrs. jerks laid before the
committee. Mrs. jerks then said the letters
were in New Orleans, and would produce
them as soon as possible. After this Mrs.
jerks became quite stubborn, and the com
mittee deemed II best to try other witnesses.
Campbell was the only witness of any mo-
ment. His memory was significantly defec-
tive. He was Judge of the State Court in
Louisiana at the time Anderson made his
second protest, but could not remember
whether he administered to him, as alleged by
Pitkin, the oath to the protest. He said, how
ever, that If his name should appear to the af-
fdavt he would admit thai he must have ad-
ministered the oath. Campbell's own brother
will testify to the genuineness of his sigma
ture to the protest In reply to Mr.. Buffers
question, Campbell testified that in 1862 the
authorities of the United States and of the
State OF Louisiana, as a State of the United
States, could not have been maintained with
out Federal troops.
