The papers oun the appointment
of postmAsters and other officials. Gen.
Sir Garnet Wolsley has already under
consideration a scheme Of a financial
company of introducing railroads. Ar
rangements are also being made for 8
submarine cable to Alexandria, which
will give direct communication with
England. Among other schemes
brought to he surface by the En-
glish occupation of Cyprus is the
Euphrates Valley railroad. The Duke
of Sutherland and others are in active
communication with the government on
the subject, and it is stated that if, with
in a reasonable time, it appears that the
Anglo Turkish convention is successful,
it is possible that the country will be
asked to give a guarantee for the pro
posed railway.

ny INDUSTRY WE THRIVE"

As the Japanese minister Of the in.
terror, 0kubo Toshimichi, was on his
way to the Daijoknau at q lonely part Of
the road just outside the castle moat, at
Akasaka, the carriage passed two men,
dressed like students, who appeared ia
be amusing themselves by plucking
flowers. Just then four men dashed from
their e~oncealment in a dilapidated out
house into the middle of the road one
armed with a long sword aud the others
with dirks They advanced on the min
listers carriage, which they stopped by
slashing the legs Of the horses, aRd so
disabling them, while the goodman was
killed as he attempted to jump down
from the box. Meanwhile the four men
who commenced the attack were Joined
by the two who had previously passed on
the road. The minister opened the door
of the carriage to escape, but his head
was immediately cloven by = OF the
r%ufians, his hand, which had been raised
TO defend his head, being severed BY the
same blow He was dragged into the
road and dispatched by i%nnumerable
stabs. The six assassins appeared at the
palace gate to give themselves up to the
police, coniessing their crime.

SECRETARY SHERMAN, before leaving
Washington for New York, gave the Star
his programme for specie resumption at
an early day. he will treat silver the
same as gold coin, and being, like gold
coin, an unlimited legal tender, may be
disbursed by the treasurer in payment OF
any current obligations Of the govern
msut, and if offered in such payment
will have to be received. 1t is thought
that most Of the boarded gold coin in
the country consists Of the smaller de
nominations, and will in the nature o
things soon make its appearance in cir

Inventors aud lneir troubles.

Baltimore SUM-
Mr.. Edison is experiencing the usual
troubles of inventors and OF those who
discover new applications of scientific
principles. IL seems to be the fate Of all
such to have TO contend with others for
the honor Of discovery of the claim to
priority Of invention. In photography
scientific men we're working simultane
ously to End a sensitive medium upon
which the suns rays could act upon the
picture reflected by the camera, and 1t is
doubtful to day whether Daguerre Of
France or Fox Talbot OF England has
the prior claim to the honor of discov.
erer. Il is doubtful to this day whether
Morton, or jackson, or Wells discovered
the use to which ether could be put as
an auesthetic. There are those who
still deny that Howe wa the original in
ventor Of the sewing machine. Prof.
Morse had for a time his trials and trib-
ulations on account of foreign claims to
successful applications Of the principles
of the magnetic telegraph before he laid
bis great discovery before the world and
demonstrated its p~racticsbility. Ia
shert, it seems to be very generally the
case that when a great invention il
brought before the public some claimant
somewhere starts up and contests the
paternity OF it. Even in minor inven
lions the innumerable patent suits grow
out of real or alleged infringements o

Sedalia Democrat. July lO.l
Last Saturday an old Chiokasaw In
dian reported to the governor Of the Ma
ten, B. F. 0verton, that while hunting
horses in the vicinity Of Wschita river
be came upon a sentinel who guarded
the only way OF getting on a tract OF
laud surrounded by the swamp. The
sentinel took the old Indian into a camp
situated on the high land, composed OF
eight men. They were all heavily armed
with Winchester rifles and Colts i'm.
proyed navy revolvers. The leader OF
the band questioned the old man closely
until satisfied bis story was true aud that
he had found his way to the camp acct
dentally, when be allowed him to so, but
not until he had enjoined seeresy upon
the old Indian, with a threat of death IN
the event he told what he had seen.
This threat had a contrary effect than
what was anticipated, for the old man
surprising, as he had good reason to,
that the gang was there for no good,
reported the matter TO his governor,
Instructions we're issued by the governor
to watch the actions OF the suspicious
crowd aud report any demonstration
that they might make to him, and il
necessary he would take steps to arrest
them.
It seemed to be the prevailing opinion
that the eneampment was that Of thu
notorious Texas train robber Bass and
his gang of outlaws, who, it is thought
has escaped into the Nation. If moi
Bass gang then it is probably some otheI
similar organization gotten up for tn,
purpose of raiding the paymasler's trail
as il proceeds from Caddo to Fort Sill
or it is possible to depredate on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas. But ont
thing is sure, if they ever make a dem
oustra,ion of this kind on ChickasaV
soil, Governor 0verton will have then
taken in.
