Potter's Investigation.

Washington, June 10.-A great deal
OF time was spent to-day over tele-
gram purporting TO have been sent by
Bouls Baker to Thomas T.. Young and
Alfred ID. Lee, at Columbus, Ohio,
Feb. oath, 1877, advocating complete
change in Hayes cabinet in favor of
southern and southwestern men for those
positions, and urging Young to see the
President at once about the matter.
After the reading of the dispatch a
lively controversy took place be-
tween j. ID. Cox and Ben. Butler, as to
whether or no it was germane to
the subject. The former claimed that
1t was not, and the latter that it was.
The telegram suggested three cabinet
officers from the South and southwest
to be selected, such as Senator Pool, of
North Carolina, John Hancock of
Texas, or Gen. Jos. Z. Johnston, of
Virginia, and Col. Il. I. Van Horn, of
Missouri.

An Important Decision.

Chicago, June 1O.-In the United
States District court this morning,
Judge Blodgett rendered decision in
the whisky cases known as the first
batch. The point involved was whether
by squealing and becoming States evil
dence, certain of the distillers became
entitled to have restored to them the
whisky seized by the Government and
the foreclosure Of which they admitted.
The Government demurred to the plea,
setting up that claim, and Judge Blod-
gett overruled the demurrer, and order
ed the suit for the condemnation of the
whisky to be dismissed. Pursuant to
the instructions of the Attorney Gen.
eral, the case will be appealed to the
United States Circuit court before JUS
tice Harlan. The amount involved is
nominally about S550,OOO.

The Henpecked Husband.

There are signs by which he is known,
however, no matter in what society he
mingles. He has the mien of one who
is weary Of the world and yet, for
some unaccountable reason, is not
quite ready to leave it. There is a
peculiarly careworn expression of
countenance by which he may be dis
tinguished-som ething quite different
from the look of conscious response
biiity which most married men wear.
Around his lips the resignation of
ometheus fingers; premature crows
feet gather annually around his eyes;
his cheeks lack the roundity that hap
pier wedlock confers; from his shiny
scalp the hair has vanished. He ven
lures his opinions In q hesitating style,
as though he hoped they would suit, and
would not be the means Of precipitating
a boil. He seems always On the point
of opologizing for something he may
have said, and when he smiles he
does it in such a painful and inexperi-
enced way that a spectator is almost
moved to pity. AT regular intervals
he chances nervously at the door Of the
apartment in which he is seated, as
though he dreaded the sudden and
wrathful entrance Of his imperial spouse,
to wreak upon him condign vengeance
for some unprecedented offense. Her
clarion voice ever rings in his ears like
a knell of departed peace. He can
never get far enough away to entirely
escape that ominous sound. She has
a tongue that can put a girdle Of fire
around him in less than forty minutes,
and he never fees sufficiently remote
from its terrors. All his peculiarities
are those of an extremely careful man.
At times he has scared look. Reti-
cent, gloomy, disconsolate, pationt, he
wiggles. and sneaks his way through
life like one who has committed some
hideous and objectionable crime. He
knows that he is puillanimous-that a
cockroacn has more courage and self
esteem than he will ever boast. In fact,
he suffers mmeasurably more from
what he thinks of himself than he does
from all the other miseries he is called
upon to endure

His Great Collection of VioIins-- Some
Curious Details.
New York Tribune.

Wilnelmj's attention was called to
the number of violins scattered about
the rooms. He remarked that he was
very proud of them, but used them
principally for practice. Picking up
one which was incIosed in q handsome
casellned with velvet, he said: "Now, here
is a violin which has a reputation. [
have had it for sixteen Years, and moth
ing would induce me to part with it.
The cost was about $1,000, but | would
not sell it for that money for the simple
reason that could not replace it. It
is nearly 100 years old, and was made
by one Of the most celebrated violin
makers that ever lived-AntOnius Stra-
diyarious, of Cremona, Italy, who died
in 1880, | think, at the age of 80 years.
He held certain secrets about the man
ufacture of viOlins which died with him.
This violin is one Of the best he ever
made You notice that for one side Of the
top is a peculiar wood with q very mar
row grain, and on the opposite side is a
different kind with broader grain. The
fiji. t gives very sweet effect to the high
notes, and the other a very rich sound
to the lower notes, which cannot be pro-
duced in other violins. I am very care
full of the instrument and never use it
IN practice 1t is so we'll known that it
could never be stolen from me and
used | could pick it out among hun
dred violins by just looking at them.
In speaking of his visit to this coun-
try, Wilhelmj said II like New York
and Boston audiences very much.
They have very high appreciation OF
music. Audiences in this country are
so different from those abroad that you
can't compare them. | find great
difficulty here in securing a tfrst-rate
orchestra. The frst-class musicians
seem to be always engaged. You lost
great musician IN New York when
Theodore Thomas went away. | am
very anxious to go to Cincinnati be-
cause he is there"

THREE MISSIONARIES EATEN UP.
Fifty or More Cannibals Killed and Many
Of their Towns Destroyed.
Melbourne Argus, Oct. Sd

Intelligence has been received from
sacre, on April 10, of three native Wes-
leyan mission agents, who were set upon
and murdered and their bodies eaten by
the mountain tribes. The Wesleyan
church in Australia directs and sup
ports evangelistic operations in the
new colony of Fiji, Samoa, the lone
island of Rotumah. and the group Of
islands of which New Britain and New
Ireland are the largest. The mission is
under the charge of the Rev. Geo.
Brown, who resides himself ON one of
the Duke of York group of islands.
Digit Of the teachers had expressed
their wish and determination to visit
the interior tribes of New Britain.
They divided into two bands, in order
to cross the island at different
for Blanche Bay, and the other four
made the northern side Of the island
their point Of departure. The Blanche
Bay party returned next day to their
point of departure. The other four
teachers also reached the plateau in
safety, interviewed the natives, and
were enteI tanned for the night in one
of the towns. A chief named Talili,
who lived on the low land but who had
influence in the interior, sent message
to the town in which the unfortunate
teachers were lodged for the night, be-
seeching the tribe to Kill them. When
the doomed men left the village the
next morning, the people followed, and,
calling upon all whom they met work
ing in the plantations by the way to join
them in the deed of blood, at length
fell upon the unarmed and unsuspicious
teachers, and slew them in a savage
fashion. The bodies were cut up, and
pieces sent here and there to the differ
ent towns, where they were cooked and
eaten with cannibal ceremony and de-
light. The object of thus distributing
the bodies was to implicate large
number of towns in the massacre-a
customary device of savages. The Rev.
Mr.. Brown, on hearing of the massacre,
adopted very severe reprisals. the char
acter of which on the part of mission
airy have been variously commented on
by the Australian press. An expedi-
ton was forthwith organized, and the
result Of the reprisals was that at least
fifty, or possibly more, Of the cannibal5
were killed, and many of the towns and
plantations were destroyed.

DEAD MILLIONAIRE.
Demise of Powers, of Philadelphia,
Mighty Antagonist Of Fever and Ague
---His Enormous Wealth.

chicago 1flDHne.
Thomas II. Powers, senior mariner Of
the firm Of Powers and Weightman,
manufacturing chemists, who died to-day
aged IS years, was the richest man in
Philadelphia, his estate being estimated
at $8,000,0OO to $40 100000, and his
income at three-quarters Of million
annually. The firm has been in exist
ence sixty years. Powers had been a
member forty years, and the firm name
had been the same thirty one. The
firm was founded by Farr, an English
man, Kunzi, Swiss, who, after long
investigation, discovered a process for
the manufacture Of quinine, which for
a long time had been known only to
few French chemists. On this was
founded the prosperity Of the firm, and
for the benefit Of this and one other
house, quinine has been protected ever
since we had a tariff. 1t is said that
each partner drew out $4,000 per
month irrespective of any profits and
divided at the end of the year. For a
long time the firm has never permitted
its balance in the bank to fall below
100000. Powers used his money well.
He was the richest layman in the Re
formed Episcopal church, and gave lib
orally Tor its maintenance. Nearly all
his property is in real estate, and he
kept on building in order to give work
to the poor. He was the sole owner of
the Episcopal Recorder, and read all the
proof before allowing the paper to go
to press. He leaves wife and daugh-
ter, the wife Of J. Campbell Harris,
formerly a lieutenant Of marines.
