Ingalls,, it is said, is doomed In the Senate.
It is likely that his comrade, Plumb, will
join him Id quiet retirement. The story told
against Plumb is even worse than the charge
made against Ingalls,. The latter is accused
OF bribery only; the former OF the worst sort
of blackmail. When Plumb was major In
the Federal army some members OF his regi-
ment arrested one Crenshaw, who. was
charged with having In bis possession letter
sent by lady In the North to her son In the
Confederate army, giving him some news
about the movements Of the Federals. Cren-
shaw charged that this letter was written by
Plumb and his friends and slipped In his
pocket. This, however, does not matter.
Crenshaw was certainly arrested by Plumb
and his friends and kept prisoner by them
until he consented to give an order for $3.50,
on the understanding that he should then be
released. The $3.50 were then divided among
the men engaged in that little Matchmaking
conspiracy. It seems that even more than
threats were necessary to make Crenshaw
surrender his money, and that two Of the
soldiers went 50 far as to use personal vio-
lence toward him in order to persuade him to
unload.
This matter was investigated in 1864 by the
war Claims Committee, which pronounced
J me Whole affair zone Of the most remarkable
y eonapafaeies 70 rob and murder loyal man
& 49, knoWn. Logan, one of the men en-

p1Iy ana convicted. Judge Advocate General
no'I recommended that Plumb be court
martlaied Tor bis share In the affair. This
however, was never done. and the matter -
mains untried to this day. Such Is the record

ardent patriotism and intense hatred Of every
form Of oppression.
Such men deserved to be honored by those
Irish Americans who assemble to give express
sion to their undying hostility to British rule
over their countrymen.
No such honor or recognition should be
given to him. whom truthful history will re-
cord as baser and more cowardly oppressor
Of free and patriotic people than even Eng
land ever imposed upon subjugated Celtic
Ireland
The Irish-born citizens of Louisiana may
may well claim to enter their protest against
the selection of such man to fill the rlace
made vacant by the death Of the heroic
Shields. They have not forgotten the piquant
and courageous reply OF that venerable priest
and patriot, Father Mullin. who. when
dragged before Butler to answer for the
crime Of denouncing him and his deeds Of out
rage, and defying his authority to control the
consciences Of men, and asked, is it true,
sir, you have dared to refuse burial to my sol
diers in st. Patrick's Cemetery" The venera-
BILE priest promptly replied: mo, sir; 1t Is not
true. I would most cheerfully consent to the
burial Of yourself and your whole army In st.
Patrick's or any other cemetery"
"Sir," roared the furious demagogue, Il
will have you hung as traitor to your ooun-
try and your religion"

Hide could not have appeared more
thunderstruck. The smile that is stere-

resembles that of Colfax, broke out in
new spot, and looked as thong IA it was
sick, and though he attempted to ex~
plain to the truly good lady that it was

There is always some one on the train
to make people feel happy. For in

couldn't get the cork out. We have
never seen a man in distress but there
were noble souls that would sacrifice
themselves to assist him. One offered a
knife. and after the blade had been
broken and left in the cork, he subsidized.
The conductor was applied TO, but he
only asked what they took him for, and
looked offended. 1t was noticed that
there was a bad crowd in the rear car,

FIT FOR A K1Ne.-Put pint and a
half of milk to boil in a thoroughly clean
saucepan sweeten and favor it with
some orange flower water: or any other
essence. Beat up the whites of eggs
until they are quite firm and crisp, like
snow. Put a tablespoonful at time
into the boiling milk, turning them after
a few seconds. Arrange in pyramid in
a deep dish. Let the milk get cool, and

pour around. The whites should be
beaten in a cold place.
OYSTER OMELET.-Put dozen large
oysters in q pan, set this over boiling
water, and when heated through, drain
and dry them thoroughly. When cold
cut them with a sharp knife into small
pieces. Separate six eggs and beat the
yelks light; add to them pepper and salt,
little chopped parsley, heaping tea

cup of milk, two teaspoonfuls melted
butter, and then the oysters gradually,
beating as you put them in; lastly, put

lightly together, but do not beat. Have
ready a tablespoonful of butter, in a
small frying-pan, and when it is melted
and turning brown, pour in half Of the
mixture; let it cook until we'll done
through; slip knife around the edge,
but do mot stir while cooking then fold
together in hslf.moon and slip carefully
on to hot platter. The better plan is
when the yelks are prepared, to divide
the mixture into equal portions, adding
three beaten whites to each, just before
cooking, as standing will cause them te

Some of the Trials of Tall Men.
Burlington Hawkeye.


Just after I left Honeoye Falls, tall
man sat down in the seat in front of me.
I had noticed him standing YEARLY about
on the platform, and I pitied him. My
heart was full of sympathy for him. l
am always sorry for tall man. Some
times, when get before an audience, and
have to stand on my tip-tees to look over
the footlights, I wish was trifie taller
than I am. But this longing is only
momentary. 1t passes away as soon IS l
see an unusually tall man. You see,
very tall man is always pursued, haunted
by one unvarying joke. Every short or
ordinary sized mau that approaches him,
throws back his head, affects to gaze into
the heavens with @ very painful effort,
and asks, liant it pretty cold mp where
YOU are7" Just watch the next short
man YOU see meet tall one, and see if
this conundrum doesn't follow the first
greeting. Just watch and see if you do
! not ask it yourself. And this must be
dreadfully wearing on the tall man. l
have observed that as rule big men, tall
men, are good-natured. It is We little
fellows who have waspish tempers. 80
the tall man never resents this venerable
Joke by aitting down on the man who
gets it of. He smiles drearily, and with
weary effort to appear interested, and
tries to look as though he had never
heard it before. 1t must be perfect
torture for the tall man to hear this
question fifty times 8 day for thirty OF
forty years. Sometimes, when I hear
dozen men ask tall man of my &C

The Sunday-School Teachers Ina uenee
During the w eek.

The Sunday-School Teachers influence
During the Week.
When Sunday>school teachers appre-
ciate the fact that little ears and eyes are
as wide open during the other days OF
the week as upon Sunday, and that the
life teachings are really as potential as
the class instruction, then will we begin
to reach our ideal 10 Sunday-school
work. The model teacher continues his
work seven days of the week. He does not
feel that with the teaching ofpurity char
ity, truthfulness, and the like, his mission
ends; but he expects his pupils to look
to his daily life and personal habits for an
exemplifcation of the principles taught.
Think you lesson Of temperance could
be impressed upon an intelligent boy
who had seen his teacher emerge from a
beer saloon with cigar in his mouth,
on the previous day? How would the
thoughtful girl judge Of the instructress
who urged benevolence, but who wore
very fine clothes and never put q penny
into the mission box? None are quic K
or than children to notice the incon~
sistencies OF those who are showing them
the way of life. The scholars must re-
spect before they will be Influenced.
A young man about to be ordained for
the ministry acknowledged that at one
time he was nearly an infdel. " But"
said he, "there was one argument in
favor of Christianity which could never
refute-the consistent conduct of my
is Their" On the other hand, a professed
Christian, at home, went into theatre
when in distant city. Years afterward
he was sent for to visit dying maD
who charged him with the ruin of hi
soul. He had seen his Sunday.schoo
superintendent 60 to the playhouse
had followed him been fascinated be
come hardened, and now Lay dying
hopeless.
Even the personal habits, such as neat
ness of dress, use of slang, etc, ar
quickly noticed. The great aim Of tn
sundaysschooli is the formation of charac
ter; and some one has well said, "B
the influence of early Impressions, tn

These figures, says the Christian at
Work, are suggestive, and among the
lessons they teach, not the least impor-
tant is that activity in the Sunday
school work is in exact proportion to the
measure of church prosperity. When
the sunday-school approaches or exceeds
the church in numbers there is evidence
that the membership is active not only
in sunday-school, but in other christian

The excessive corpulency of certain
limited States Senator has long been the butt
of editorial wit and spicy bon nsots from the
pens of Washington correspondents. Few
persons have suspected that this obesity was
a disease, and liable to prove fatal. Yet this
ia the sad fact. Excessive fairness is not only
a disease in itself, but one liable to generate
other and more serious ones. Chemistry has
at last revealed a safe, sure, and reliable
remedy for this abnormal condition of the
system in Alian's Anti.Fat. Distinguishes
chemists have pronounced it not only harm
less but very beneficial to the system, while
