THAT was funny custom in olden
times when young prince was being
educated. A boy was taught with him
whom they called the whipping boy"
When his highness was idle, did not
know his lessons, forgot his latin verbs,
spilled the ink on his desk, or made
caricatures of his master, then the poor
boy was whipped and scolded for his
misdemeanors. They thought it would
punish the prince sufficiently 10 see an
innocent boy punished for the faults he
himself had committed, besides no one
would dare lay violent hands upon a
prince.

The Feather Business.

The business done in New York city
alone in single year is almost in
credible, especially when one considers
that plumes are only one small unit
among many unnecessary requirements
of fashion.
The chief business in feathers is with
ostrich plumes, which are used for
every variety of purpose. They come
principally from South Africa, although
the long soft Egyptian feather known
as the Mogador is of finer quality
than the "Cape" feather, and brings q
higher price. The cape feathers are
pure white. often tipped and streaked
with a gray tint. Some varieties are
gray throughout, and of the most deli
cate texture. Those from the wild
Egyptian bird are sometimes as long as
twenty-four inches, and the down on
each particular spine is longer and
thicker than on those from the Cape.
They are of pure white, or of an almost
invisible yellow tint. The price per
pound, which contains from eighty to a
hundred long feathers, run as high as
three hundred dollars for the best quail
tiles. There is often a considerable
quantity of guano and other dirt, which
must be carefully removed by the man.
ufacturer. Acids are used in cleaning
feathers, after which process they are
assorted and prepared for the market.
The thick quill is scraped with glass on
the under side until about half its SUBJ
stance is removed, which leaves the
feather soft and graceful from stem to
tip. Many are left in their natural
purity, or soft gray oloring, while others
are prepared in various tints to suit all
tastes. The feather manufacturer uses
mineral dyes adapted to the delicate
nature of his plumes. Cloth dyes should
never be applied to valuable plumes, as,
however well the feather may appear
at first, it is rotted, its natural gloss and
softness gone forever, and itremains on
ly sorrowful relic of its former splen-
dor. A feather once dipped in cloth
dye soon wears out, and can never be
renewed, while it may be cleansed and
dyed every season by a professional
worker in feathers, and still retain its
brilliancy and valuable quality for
years.

JAMES H. SLATER, the newly-elected
United States senator from Oregon, was
born in Sangamon County, III, in 1926.
His early education was a limited one.
Having studied law, he was admitted to
the bar, and removing to Oregon, he
was elected, in 1857, to the territorial
legislature, and again, in 1858, was
chosen as member of the first state
legislature. In 1866 he was elected
district attorney of Oregon for two years.
His next place was in the house OF
representatives, where, in the forty
second congress, he served on the COM
mittee on public lands.

THE courage and fidelity of telegraph
operators in southern cities amid the
ravages of yellow fever are worthy Of
highest praise. It seemed most nee
cessary business to keep open some
medium Of communication with the
outside world, even III those places to
which prudence forbade any to 20 ex-
cept on errands Of mercy; yet for several
days, on one occaaion, Grenada was left
without such communication with the
world by the sickness or death of one
telegraph operator after another. The
fever early attacked the family of the
manager of the Grenada office, Thomas
Marshall, and he alternated between the
Office and his stricken home until, hav-
ing buried three children, he himself
was smitten down, and died while a
fourth child lay, apparently dying, by
his side. The duties Of the Office then
fell on the assistant, w. H. Redding,
He averaged twenty hours of work daily,
until exhausted, he was attacked by the
fever while ut his instrument. Two
days before this, John +. Heaberg, a
volunteer from Winona, Mississippi,
he come to his assistance, but he was
taken sick the day after Redding, and
no one remained in the office. Mar.
shall and Redding both died; and when
the condition Of things became known,
David Flannery, q veteran superinten-
dent at Richmond, Virginia, volunteered
to open the Grenada Office. In other
cities the faithfulness of telegraphers
has been equally marked. At Mem
phis, when all but four out of force Of
fifteen men had been FRUSTRATED, j. w.
MDonald was attacked while sending a
message, and was lifted from his chair
with his hand on the key, and carried
home. AT Vicksburg, after many had
succumbed, "Ben" Fortune, Of Hick-
man. Kentucky, was taken sick, but
would not leave the instrument for two
days, but continued to work, operating
with marvellous rspidity. On the third
day of his illness he was driven to the
Office, but was obliged to turn back, and
died the next day. Instances might be
multiplied showing how heroically the
Geographic fraternity. have stood al
their posts Of duty.

The Wife or Henry Clay.

Mr.. George w. Ranck has contribut-
ed to the Lexington (Ky.) Transcript an
article, in which he says: "What Ash
land would have been but for Mrs. CLAW
the good Lord only knows, for her hus-
band was at the capital of the nation
more than half his time. She attended.
to everything, including five sons. who,
according to their old teacher, Amos
Kendall, were not the meekest Of the
lambs that gamboled Mt Ashland. She
managed the farm, with its crops and
live stock, her household afiaire, a
large family of children, and not few
negro servants, so well as to assist large
~ in keeping up Mr.. Clay's fortune,
which was constantly subjected to
heavy drains. She often pulled the
finest of her vegetables with her own
hands, and sent them. with butter,
milk and fruit, regularly to the
market TO be sold. She often, said MY
children laugh at me for selling such
things, but they never object to the
money get for Them Her treatment

she did not.

Dakota, audthey may remain hero II
prevented by the troops from entering
The Astounding skill and Discipline Of
these ninety warriors Is shown BY the
fact that they, with 30 woman and
children, have already made march
OF nearly 700 miles, and have constant
~ kept in advance of the troops that
were pressing them from every Quarter.
Senator Plumb, Of Kansas, who Is here,
and who Is . member of thearmy COM
mission, says that, IN an economical
point Of view alone, this raid of nine
ty warriors will COS. the govern
ment much more than it would have
cost to have maintained full cavalry
regiment in that county. At present
nearly all the available cavalry are To-
Gated on the Rio Grande border. The
movements of small detachments now
for long distances will, in the items of
transportation and rations, be very
expensive matter for the government.
Senator Plumb speaks hig hly of the
settlers who have been killed, and says
they were men of worth, courage and
enterprise. He fears that the alarm oc-
casioned by this outbreak will be felt to
the injury OF the border for twelve
months. Senator Plumb says that the
theory is that white man can take
care of two Indians. He thinks, how
ever, it is no disgrace to the white
race to say that, If the fighting
is to be done on horseback,
one Indian would take care of two
white men. The Indian has been train
ed to fight in the saddle. Our troops
have not become sufficiently skilled to
shoot from the saddle, and the only
successful Indian fighting is by dis
mounting and taking deliberate aim.
In some reports it has been stated that
the Indians are better armed than our
own troops. The Indian-Office author
tiles say that it is impossible for the In
dams to obtain arms at any sutlership
under the control of the Indian Bureau,
but that there is practically no restric-
ton upon sales of arms by military suit.
lers, vino sell the Indians all the arms
they want.

greenback 4S7. There is all insignifi-
cant greenback vote outside of this
town. Not one town in the state has a
separate ticket, and not one in ten Of
the vote in such towns is for the green

CixcIxNArI, September 1s.-Judge Bax-
ter, oithe U. S. Court, in passing upon the
application to allow railroad to be garni-
shecd, took occasion to remark that the
practice of placing railroads in the hands
Of receivers was altogether too common
and had become great evil. Hecited the
case Of n railroad, in Georgia which cost
fifteen million dollars; the receiver in
charge three years, issued certificates Of
indebtedness Of million and a half;
when the road was sold the proceeds were
not sufficient TO pay the certificates. Judge
Baxter said he had observed that when q
roColvor got possession he generally ran
tho road for himself and his employees, in
Guiding attorneys, and he. (the Judge
would hereafter SEQ that there should be
n reform In lis circuit for the benefit OF
creditors and Stockholders. II the pro-
eoedings TO sell aud realize were not vigo-
rouSly pushed to n conclusion he would
vncate the receivership and give tho road
back to the company. Great interest was
felt in this delivcrencc Of tho Judge by the
