Poisonous SToCKINGs--A dyer writes
to New York paper as follows: SO much
has been said about dyed stocking poison.
ing, which remarks have been confined en-
tirely to the medical profession, that few
words from a dyer may not be out Of place.
1t does not appear as if any of the gentle
men have given the matter any really prac~
teal test in the way of chemical analysis,
simply relying upon mere guess.work. At
ter many Investigations the writer has con-
cludcd that in the cases where bright ami
line shades arc desired, acids principal
ly sulphuric acid) are used to devel-
opc and brighten the colors, and the
simple cause of so much trouble lies in the
fact that the acids have not been rinsed
out properly. When the stocking are
worn, perspiration releases the acid, which
causes irritation of the skin, and continued
wearing naturally causes the ifamation
complained Of Again, if the stockings arc
(through an economical notion of the DYER
not properly secured, they will crack off
and color the feet, which, without the acid,
is perfectly harmless In concluding, l
can add this simple caution: Always
wash them in soap and water before wear
ing This will ncutralizc all acids in the
yarn and render the Objectionable colorcd
stockings perfectly safe to wear.

a WIDOW SUCCESSFULLY TRACING
Her STOLEN CuILD.-A romance in real
life, stranger than any fiction, has recently
had its dcnoucmcnt, one of the parties
most Interested being resident Of this city
This is widow lady, whose name wo arc
not at liberty to make public for the pres
ent, who has recently discovered the whcro-
abouts of long.lost daughter, stolen from
her twenty seven y,ars ago, when an infant.
The lady, though resident of Springfield
for some years past, is native of Hartford,
Conn: and went with her husband, after
her marriage, to Western New York, which
was then good deal of wilderness as
compared with its condition now. Her
first child, girl, was born there, and sho
was on her way to join her husband, after
temporary separation, when the infant was
stolen from her during long stage journey,
and she has never seen the child since,
though, as noted above, she has recently
discovered that she is alive and living in
Wisconsin, where she is married and has
three children. The anguish of the moth.
er ut losing her frst-born child can be con-
ccivcd but not described. A long fit of
sickness followed, and after her recovery
all possible search was made for the miss
ing babe, but without success But tho
mother never gave up hope of hearing Of
her child, and after twenty seven years had
elapsed her faith and patience have at last
been rewarded. 1t seems she always sus-
pccted a man who carried her some fifteen
miles by private conveyance to meet the
stage, when OH her way to join her husband,
Of stealing the child, with the intention of
adopting it as his own. She now knows
that he was the abductor. He gave it to
an accomplicc, who took it some fifty
miles across the border, into Pennsylvania,
where it was placed in family, with
sum Of money sufficient to provide for its
wants for some time. His evident intention
was to reclaim the child when he could do
SO without suspicion. But the time never
came when he dared to do it, and the little
girl grew up rs the adopted child of the
family, finally married the younger brother
of the master of the house, and removed to
Wisconsin, where the family is prosperous
and happy. Communication has been cs-
tablished for some months now between the
mother and daughter, and photographs cx-

GRANT AND THE THIRD TERN.

That Parson Ne,vn,an Says About the In
tentions Of the General-His Reception.
New York Herald, May 20.
It is known to the readers of the Herald
that DR.. j. P. Newman, of the Central Meth
odist Episcopal church, in this city, was and
still is confdant of Gen. Grant, having re-
sided in Washington during the greater part
of his administration. The correspondence
between the ex-President and his former
chaplain has been regular and friendly since
the former started on his tour around the
world. In nearly every letter that Gen.
Grant sends to DR.. Newman, SO the latter
has said to Herald reporter, the general
speaks of the rest and enjoyment he has in
his travels, and in two or three recent
communications, referring to certain news
paper clippings sent to him, he said in sub
stance that he had nc. desire to enter public
life again that he had served his country to
the best of his ability for nearly sixteen years
and he thinks the people ought to release
him from any further claim of service. DR..
Newman was emphatic in declaring that
Gen. Grant was very far from being poll
tician or desirous for Office. His and Mrs.
Grants charities while in Washington were
numerous, and the doctor gave several ex-
amples. Their gifts to benevolent objects
were made quietly and without any flourish
of trumpets, the doctor himself being he-
quently intrusted with the disbursement
of 800 at time and with many
smaller sums. The doctor disclaimed any
political significance attaching to the pro-
posed reception to Gen. Grant on his arrival
in San Francisco. The politicians, he said,
will have nothing to do with it. The doctor

WASHINGTON, May pa member of the
House committee on military affairs spoke
to me to-day in regard to your editorial on
post traderships, stating that three impor,
tant frontier posts were in the hands Of one
man-Mr. Wilder and urging competition
or free trade. I drop you this line to say
that you have perhaps builded better than
you know. There is no evidence that Nc
Crary is inclined to act unfairly in the mat
ter: AS the appointment is no longer
vested in. the secretary of war there
existed in Belknap's time, even if there was
of the appointments he might block the
game by refusing to ratify the selection of
the army officers, but unless formal charges
are made he is hardly likely to interfere.
The member Of the committee informs me
that the subject of allowing free trading is
heing considered, and he thinks it quite
probable that it will be inaugurated. It is
certainly due the privates who are squeezing
along on the pittance of $13 per month that
they be protected and buy where they please.
AS the trader supplies the officers
with his goods absolutely free OF
at nominal figure, they are not
very enthusiastic in favor of free trade,
That is, however, a cardinal Democratic
principle, and write to encourage you to
continue the war on post traderships which
you have SO well begun. They rob the SOL
dier and engender huge political corrup-
ton fund, and ought to have been abolished
long ago. should not be surprised to see 8

session. Free trade and soldiers rights

of one-half a cent for each person who has at

Sd chapter of Jephaniah, 18th verse: The
Lord thy God in the midst Of thee is mighty;

in his love, he will joy over thee with singing
Pentecost then delivered an hours discourse
on the text.
At the close Of the discourse the brethcrn
who bad retired to count up the nickcls re-
turned and announced $64 collected. Pente-
cost grew excited at the small amount raised.

as the bills had been made out in his name, he
would have to pay them, and if Minneapolis
Christians did not pay the amount he could send
on to Boston, get the money and pay
the bills himself; he wanted it understood that
he was not begging; all he begged for was mems
souls; then he sat down and buried his face in
his hands, as if in prayer. While this remark
able burst Of Christian eloquence was being
made, Stebbins and his wife were preparing to
sing, and as Pentecoat concluded he told his
fellow laborers in Christ in loud voice to
sing, which they did. Immediately after the
Song Rev. E. 8. Williams arose and said that the
early morning Christians could have raised
the amount if they had thought it would not
have been raised at the afternoon meeting. and
| he thought it would be good idea to
make up the balance, s93, before they left.
Pentecost then jumped to bis feet and said
| that "all those who did not want to stay and
pay this bill could go out" ard in hurried
and rapid manner pronounced the benediction,
and putting on his overcoat left the church.
Nearly all the audience left, but enough of the
pastors and older church members stayed, and
| while the choir sang Work for Me- the neces-
sary amount was raised. The total collection
for the day was announced as $293, which sum
lifts the bill and leaves about $25 over.

Adventure ,ctth Tran,ps.

A gentleman from Eau Claure, Wis, now
a resident of this city, met with quite an ad-
venture in Minneapolis on Friday. He was
accosted on the street near the mills by two
men who asked him for means with which to
procure something to eat, saying that they
had been wandering about for some time
seeking employment and unable to secure it.,
that they had eaten nothing all day.
He gave them half dollar and engaged
in conversation with them, crossed on the
bridge to the east side. One of them, the
older, dropped behind short distance, and
the intended victim turning his head, caught
him in the act of firing a slung shot, and
barely saved himself from being struck.
Muschroe, the party attacked, struck at the
one near him with a knife which he hap
pened to have open in his hand, and out his
coat near the waist through. He thinks no
further injury was done. Judging from the
manner in which both parties put out of
sight they must have had enough and plenty
to satisfy all their wants.

THE .IcrroN OF THE NoRnA1 Bo.lR1

THE -ICTION OF THE NORNAL BO.IRD.
There seems to be something peculiar
relative to the doings of the Normal School
board at their late meeting in this city. The
GLOBE was informed, as we supposed rsli-
ably, that the board had resolved not to
principalship of the Winona school. The
editor Of the St. Cloud Jour7aal-P Press, who
is memter Of the board, very plumply de-
MES this statement, declaring that "nothing
of tie kind suggested was resolved
upon, secretly or otherwise, or even
broached or discussed This would seem
to be denial sufficiently general and specific
to cover all the points, but now comes the
Winona Republican with statement, which
we presume was given the editor by Mr.
Thos. Simpson, the Winona member of the
board, which is as follows:
No resolution of the kind referred to was
formally adopted by the board, in secret session
or otherwise, but it was tacitly understood
among the MEMBERS or a portion Of them, that
it would be advisable to pursue the course in
dicated-for reasons which do not very clearly
appear, and which are open to conjecture only.

conclusion to 90 outside of the State for q
principal was quietly abandoned, and the COM
mittee entrusted with the duty of making the
selection was appointed without any restriction
upon its choice beyond the final approval of
the board at the meeting to he called for that
purpose.
So far as practical results are concerned
this statement is an admission of what
the GLOBE charged, that the board
secretly resolved to employ no one
now resident of Minnesota. It is perhaps
in little milder shape to say that it was
''tacitly understood" topursue such course,
but the essencs of the matter is there all the
same. 1t appears, according to the Repub-
sican, that subsequently, the scheme was
ssquietly Abandoned q bit of informatio,
the GLOBE did not have, but which does moi
make our statement essentially incorrect as
far as it went.
The further explanation of the Republican
that the matter was understood among tn
members, or s'portion of them" may &C
count for the know-nothingism Of th,
Journal Press man. He was not taken
into the inner councils and was not of thu
.sportion'' who 'stacitly understood the
matter. In fact he knew nothing of tn,
true inwardness of the board or what it wa
doing. We would suggest to the editor 0

THE END OF THE AFGHAN wAR.

THE END OF THE AFGHAN VAR.
The submission of tho alneer of Afgha n
istan to the British forces seems to have been
complete and unconditional. The terms he
has received, however, are not very onerous
or oppressive. They simply involve the sur
render of the Khyber and Mechin passes,
belonging to the Independent tribes of the
border, besides the privilege of establishing
and maintaining British representation at
Cabul, Herat, Candahar and other cities.
While the loss of the territory annexed or "as
signed'' to Great Britain is not serious blow
at the ameer's power, the other concessions
he has decided to make are no doubt CALLING
to his pride; for the right of England
to have representative at Cabul was the
original cause of the war, and has been
strongly resisted both by the present ameer
and his predecessor. Great Britain, how
ever, has gained in a larger degree than
Afghanistan has lost. The territory she has
acquired is valuable because it rounds out
the boundary of Northern India in sym
metrical proportions. The passes, too, are
strong strategical points, and properly for
titled will be almost impregnable, and will
therefore afford protection against hostile
incursions from that direction. This, it
will be seen by glance at the maps, is
almost the only direction from which the
British Indian possessions can be menaced
by Russia, and the acquisition of these
passes gives to England the key to the whole
situation. Then, too, it insures the friend
ship of Afghanistan, for at any time that
that power should manifest symp-
toms of giving aid and COM
fort to her enemies, England could
at once compel neutrality if not an active
alliance. The moral influence of the Brit
ish representatives at each of the large cities
will also be great. They will be charged, Of
course, with the duty of carefully watching
the progress of events there, and any sus.
picious developments will be at once com.
municated to the government, SO that any
hostile conduct may be speedily forestalled
The fact that they are being watched viii
also have a powerful restraining influence
upon the Afghanistan authorities.
Il Thus it will be seen that the war has moi
been wholly bootless. England has by II
been able to place another bar to the prog
ress of Russia in the direction of India, and
at the same time increase her territory anG
her military prowess. The policy of Beacons
field in this matter as we'll as in regard t.
the treaty of Berlin has been proven to bt
sagacious, and will no doubt be approved By
the country.
