POLITICAL COMMENTS.

The Ohio Contest.

AsSn1OCE0C1C Legislation Southern
The Ohio Contest,
DEMOCRATIC LEa1sLATloN AND THE
INDIAN TROUBLES.
A Washington dispatch contains the
following suggestive paragraph:
The instructions given to Mai. Thorn
burgh not to fire until the Indians had
commenced hostilities, it seems, was
made necessary by the posse c0mitatus
clause attached to the army bill by the
Democratic congress-. Under the con-
structien given to the law by the wal
department the soldiers could not fire
unless they were first attacked, and it is
probably due to this democratic policy
that Maj. Thornburgh has lost his life.
The army officers say that if Thorn.
burgh could have attacked the Indians
first there is little doubt that he would
not have been surrounded. If the
Indians are advised of the posse comita-
tus clause, therefore, all that they will
have to do to surround any body of
United States troops will be not to fire
until they have completely corraled the
soldiers. This seems but another illus
tration of the Gripping effect of Demo-
cratic legislation, which is apparent in
nearly every department Of the public
service.
THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
A Columbus letter gives the follow
ing estimate of the contest in Ohio;
other accounts are still more favorable
to the Republicans:
The most vigorous contest ia QOinp
on in all the close counties, and in them
is the real battle being fought. On fif-
teen counties the Thurman and Thomp-
son force is working, and the money will
flow freely, as the Democrats are much
better supplied than the Republicans.
Voters are being colonized in the towns
and cities where the legislative ticket
stands in danger, and by the work of the
repeaters and colonized voters does Mr..
Thurman hope to be his own successor.
In Athens county two votes are offered
for Foster in exchange for one ballot for
the Democratic candidate for the legis-
lature. Senator Thurman is personally
1t work in all the close counties with
surprising energy; but his meeting can |
not be termed large when compared with !
those of Haskell, Blaine, Foster, and |
others on the Republican side.
OF the prospects little can be said,
except that the Republicans have an
advantage, and will bold it. The
Democrats are claiming Ewing's election |
With confidence by 10000; but there is
10 sincerity in the claim, as the man
cannot be found who will risk $40 hat
N Ewing's election by any majority.
While the Republicans are not disposed
o brag, they offer two to one on Foster,
y even on 1O,0O0-some even go az
Ugh as 10000"

To the priests Of Tao, the religion OF
pure reason who dabbled under bygone
dynasties in alchemy and in the science
OF attaining Immortality, is due the dis
covery of kang fu and its application as
. means OF healing the sick. All com
plants are held to be equally amenable
TO its power, though not all persons !;
professors Of the art stating plainly that
kGngtu can exercise no influence what
ever over others than those who have
faith. The modns operandi is as fol-
lows: A TaOist priest, known for his
skill in the art, Is requested 10 attend at
the house OF sick person for the pur-
pose Of administering kang fu; and, ac-
cordingly, after arranging what is TO be
paid for his services and securing part
Of the sum in advance, he proceeds to
1T up within the patients room an altar
for the burning incense and joss paper
and for worship generally. Muttered
incantations follow As the priest walks
slowly and with prescribed steps round
and round the room. BY and by he APP
Proaches the sick man and partly raises
him. or turns him ON his back or side, or
lifts up leg or arm, or gently sham
poos him, the object being all the time
70 bring the sick mans mind into rap
port with his own. When the priest
thinks he has accomplished this, he com
mands the patient to perspire, or to be-
come cool, or gives Instructions for
the regulation Of pulse and heart, in
each case according 70 what he con-
ceives to be the exigencies Of the disease.
The whole scene Is rendered impressive
- possible by silence, and by darkening
the room, with the exception of one oil
lamp, by the light Of which is dimly
visible the silhouette of the robed priest
waving his long sleeves in the air. The
imaginative faculty Of the sick man Is
thus excited; and hence, perhaps, the
reason why even in these days OF prohi-
oition Cinnamon may still be found
ready TO declare that they (generally,
however, their friends or relatives) have
derived undoubted benefits from we'll
timed administration of kdng-fu. All
my own attempts to be present at such
scene have hitherto proved unsuccess-
Iul and the above account Is gathered
CHIEFLY from conversation, aided by
rev stray hints CLEANED from Taoist
pamphlets which contained illusions to
me subject. That something akin TO
mesmerism 10 even now practiced in
china appears TO be beyond all doubt.

UnpsralIelsd Atrocities % the Msssacr>
Of the Princes and their Relatives.
The following are mail advices giyirg
the particulars Of the massacre Of the
Burmese Princes and their relatives:
RANGooN, March l6.--The Kings
fears continued 10 gain upon him. rs
one after another Of the Princes pinned
away and died in the frightful under
ground prisons Of the Palace loath-
some with filth, and never moved since
these dens were constructed years ago.
The fears Of British Intervention alone
prevented him from putting them all to
death months ago. Suddenly news Of
the disaster in Zululand reached Mauda-
lay. That apparently decided him, and
. work Of cold-blooded butchery began
which will hardly find parallel in his
tory.
At first the massacre was carried on
according TO the old Burmese wont.
The victims were led out of their cells
in twos and threes, brought to Thekha
10 the King, and disposed Of in the or
binary Buddhist fashion. The head Of
the victim was lied down to his ankles,
and blow on the back of the neck
from heavy club put him out Of pain.
But this soon proved too mild a specta
Gle for the fiendish mind Of Theebau.
The Fhoughai Prince, whose insolent
bearing English visitors to Mandalay
will remember, on being brought
to do reverence to his young
brother Qhe King is past twenty-one
years. professed an utter scorn for what
could be done to him, and was logged
70 death. The late Kings son, the
truculent Mekhaya Prince, who used to
look upon all foreigners rs 50 much dirt
under his feet, turned craven, and was
tainted and driven to madness before
receiving the blow, which only half
stunned him, when his writhing body
was thrown into the gigantic trench dug
to receive the victim.
The massacre was carried on in q
leisurely fashion, extending over several
days, fiendish ingenuity being taxed to
the utmost to devise fresh horrors.
Moungoke, the Governor of Rangoon
when it was captured by the British in
1856, had his nose and mouth filed with
gunpowder, q light was applied, and he
was then flung into the trench to be

tins. The daughter Of the Nyoung
Yam Yourg, girl of is, was handed
over to eight soldiers Of the Royal
Guard, to be pitched insensible into the
same heaving grave when they had graf
flied their brutal lusts. The wife Of one
Prince, far advanced in pregnancy, was
ripped up, and the agonized husband
was brought to see his wife and child
once more before he died.
After some days of this sort Of thing,
the executioners got weary and hurried
through their task Little children were
put in blankets and swung against the
palace walls. and women were battered
over the head rs taking less trouble than
tying them up so IS 10 get blow on
the neck. Altogether about 80 persons
are believed to have been put to death
in this way.

An elephant keeper in Philadelphia
tried the other day to get venerable
animal named Old Chief to draw a
wagon. The Times OF that city thus re-
ports the result ssOld Chief didn't OBJ
ject much while the harness was being
placed on him. He merely blinked
steadily, and now and then cast glance
at his prosecutors, rs though he would
say that his time would come. His ac-
tons puzzled the keeper not a little,
and they began to suspect that he was
brewing some mischief. Atlength they
got him hitched to the wagon. The gap
ing spectators looked on with the deep
est interest. Chief manifested no sign
that he was going to move. The train
ers put their hooks into his trunk and
began to pull on him. Chief snorted q
little and shook his head Disappearing
ly. They pulled harder. Chief snorted
and tapped his ears like the roofs Of
two houses coming together. They gave
his trunk jerk. Chief lifted his ears
with yell and made . dash forward,
jerking the trunk free of the hooks and
projecting it out before him like bay
onet, tearing through the yard with the
wagon at his heels, scattering the AZ
frighted spectators in every direction.
He went tearing diagonally across the
long yard, taking in pile Of tent-poIes
in his course and making straight for
the gap in the lower end Of the inclo-
sure. As he dropped the wagon over
the pile Of timber party Of half dozen,
who had retreated there for safety, ran
for their lives. One man tried 70 jump
q six-foot wall and fell back to the
ground, white as sheet. When he
looked up he saw the wagon, COM

Old Chief, with the broken harness
to his body, standing wedged
In between tho corner Of the wall and
the corner Of the stable. He had knock
cd out the whole corner Of the stable,
scattering 40 or 30 bricks on the ground
at his feet. After . good deal Of trou-
BILE, the keepers succeeded In backing
him out Of his tight position, and he
was sent back TO the stable, still snort
ing and defiant. No moderate estimate
will cover the amount Of punishment

Pure white CASTLE is little expen-

In the washing OF children's stock
ings great help will be found in using
wooden stocking forms on which TO
dry them. You can obtain them at the
stores, or have them made to order
without much expense.
One OF the infallible rules OF know
ing a careless housekeeper is observing
where she keeps the matches. II they
are scattered over every shelf in the
house, be sure she is careless; but II
she has . matchbox in nearly every
room, there must be different decis-
ion.

milk, 5 yelks and white of egg. ta-
blespoonfuls Of -four, and about l pound
OF butter, and as much sugar as Tequir-

eggs and powdered sugar to froth, and
pile on top; serve with sauce.
For washing red table linen, use
tepid water, with q little powdered
borax, which serves TO set the color;
wash the linen separately and quickly.
using very little soap; rinse in tepid
water, containing little boiled starch;
hang to dry in the shade, and iron when
almost dry.
There should always be hanging
above the sink and dish pan pocket OF
wood containing the bowl Of . broken
brittania spoon, and small knife about
inches long, made Of very hard wood,
and sharpened at the corners. The
spoon bowl will be found serviceable for
cleaning and scraping kettles, and the
knife for q multitude OF uses.
Clothes pin bags are usually made
with shirstring run in the top. and
are always nuisance. They are much
nicer hemmed round the top and
hung up by means of loop. A basket
with wire hook fastened on the han
die to hang on the line, or box with
cords fastened at the corners, and fin
ished with q hook TO allow hanging on
and slipping along the line, Is nicer
still.
Baked Rice Pudding: Boil together
in saucepan pint Of milk and the graf
ed peel of q small lemon. In another
saucepan boil teacupfol OF rice until
tender, and. when done, drain off all the
water. Beat eggs till light, stir them
in the milk, with ounce Of fresh but

it will have light, frothy appearance,
and will remain sweet for weeks ii kept
