THE CIPHER TELEGKAMs.

A democratic member of the Potter
committee, in conversation with your
corr espondent to-day, said that it might
be reasonably nticipated that the cipher
telegrams would place some OF the people
concerned in an awkward position. The
document would not, however be awk-
ward for one side only. One object of
the investigation, and quite as important
as any, will he to discover the thieves
who unlawfully distracted the kilograms
and made them public When this is
done the next move-but with this, the
committee, of course, have nothing to do
will be to have them indicted in the
courts and brought to justice. There
seems to be- no doubt in the minds of jur-
lists that the theft of these dispatches is
equally criminal with tampering with
sealed letters. At any rate, 1t Is high
time for a judicial decision ON the sab
.ject. On this same point there Is a deal
of curious inquiry here as to the night of
Gen. Butler to make conditions with the
committee before delivering the teIe-
grams in his possession. They certainly
are hot the private property of Gen.
Butler, and some think the committee
snould put him on the stand aud have
him tell what be knows about il.

EVERY ONE WILL WISH that the fugi-
tive Cheyennes could have been subdued
by some other process than determination,
but it must not be forgotten that these
paricu ar sayages had made themselves
outlaws, s,plundering and numbering in the
purpose to have their own lawless ways.
1t is not the fact that they were starved
or i'll treated on their reservation. A friend
has tie ,tified that they left the reservation
in the Indian Territory because they
would not work, and were determined
not to stay, Or to give trouble if they were
compelled. They absconded, and left
their track of devastation along the line
of their raid across the State OF Kansas
and Nebraska. They defied the law and
and the Government; they would not
surrender; nothing remained but force,
and the tragic termination was Inevitable.

JUSTICE IN NEW JERSEY.

Nine public functionaries of Warren
county, n. j., have b-en convicted of
malfeasance in office and sentenced to
hard labor in the State Prison for per-
iods of from one to sixteen years each
Forty-fve years is the aggregate of i'm
prisonment inflicted on all the corrupt
officials thus far found guilty. Conspi-
forgery to help out the purposes of the
conspiracy, are the crimes of which all
these men have been found guilty. AS
off1cial thleverv, more or less extensive,
is the vice of the times, and one to be
found everywhere, the news of these
verdicts will startle the country, and
many towns will be stirred up to emulate
within their own limits the energetic
action of Philipsburg. 1t may be bad
year for thieves.-N. Y Herald.
The claim ofa Pttsburg woman to
widows dover in the estate OF the late
Robert w. Mackey becau.e of her mar
riage to him many years ago, elicits very
general discussion by public journals and
politicians who we're we'll acquainted
With the great Republican leader. The
fact ih 1t the claim is in the hands of at
torneys of high character, personally and
professionally, as Messrs. Hampton and
Dalzell, gives assurance that it is not one
manufactured by INSCRIPTIONS couns FL,
but the general judgment of those who
have knowledge Of the tastes, habits and
purposes of Mr.. Mackey's life, will be
decided by the fact that the claimant,
as widow, presents two children as hav-
ing been left unprovided for by Mr..
Mackey, although their father and the
lawful husband of their mother.
Mr.. Mackey was a social law unto him
self, and it might not be regarded as in
consistent with his generally conceived
character, if shown that he had left le-
gally-wedded wife behind him, but there
are few who will believe that he could
have left wife uncared for, and fewer
still who will believe that he could have
, left his own children unnamed in will
that disposes his whole estate to others.
If he had children, whether the offspring
of trusted or discarded wife, it would
seem to be at variance with every known
attribute of his character to deny them
| inheritance Of his estate, and leave them
frisndless and fortuneless in the world.

Step by Step.

No matter whether the steps be zone
hundred and eighty" or less. or more,
the safe rule for boy to attain emin-
ence in the world is always the same.
Said father to his young son, who was
complaining that he had nothing to be-
gin with, and shrinking from the Glow"
position of errand-boy in a store:
"Were you with me last summer,
when we visited Baltimore and went up
to the top of Washington's monument p
eyes, father; you recollect we all
went up, and little Fred was 80 tired he
could hardly gain the top"
DO you recollect how we assembled ?
We're we lifted from the street by an
elevator p
"No, father. Don't you remember
that man let us in by the door, and
we went up by the winding steps, We
had no light only that of smoky Ian
tern, and it was long time before we
reached the top"
And we got up at last, said his
father. "after patiently stepping one
hundred and eighty times, one after the
other; and were we not repaid at the
top with the magnificent view which we
enjoyed?' :,
"It was perfectly grand |" said
Thomas.
"Now, Thomas, as you ascended that
monument, so you must rise in busi'
ness. You are now standing on the
lower steps-you are on the steps-and
there is nothing to hinder you, if your
health is good, from standing on the

The American Flng.

The flag OF the United States was
originally adopted by act of Congress
June IA, 1777. 1t was then composed
of thirteen stripes and ornanented with
thirteen stars, because there were thir
teen separate States represented in the
Union. In 1894 Senator Bradley, Of
Vermont, moved that the flag consist of
fifteen stripes and fifteen stars, Ken
tucky and Vermont having been added
to the number of States, and this was
adopted. In 1918 Congress went back
to the thirteen stripes, with new star
for each new State, and this is the pres
ent regulation for the regular flag. In
1899, when the revenue flag was adopt
ed, Tennessee had been admitted, and
there we're then - teen States, 30 the
flag had sixteen stripes. This has never
been changed. Thus the revenue flag
has sixeeen perpendicular stripes, the
union being white with the national
arms in dark blue and the regular flag
has thirteen horizontal stripes, the
union being blue, with white star for
every State.

, A Fortune at One Swallow.

It is eravely related in work called
Lawsons "History of Banking" that
the Spanish ambassador to the English
court, having extolled the great riches
OF his king, the master of the Indies,
and OF the grandees of Spain, before
Queen Elizabeth, Sir Thomas Gresham,
who was present, told him that the
queen had subjects who, at one meal,
expended not only as much as the daily
revenues of the king, but also OF all the
grandees, and added, "This / will prove
any day and lay heavy wager on ii" ."
So Gresham outbragged the s3paniard in
his own line. The ambassador, biding
his time, came unawares to the mansion
of Sir Thomas in Bishopsgate, and dined
with hirn, when, finding only an ordi-
nary meal, he said: "Well, sir, you
have lest your stake2" "Not atall, an.
swered Sir Thomas: "and this you sh' II
presently see" He then pulled boz
from hia pocket, and taking out one O,
the largest Eastern pearls, showed it to
the embas sador. After which he ground
it down and drank the dust in a glass o.
wine, to the health of the queen, his
mistress. "My lord ambassador" sale
Sir Thomas, you know I have Otter
refused e15, 1000 for that pearl. Have
lost or won ?" II yield the wager 81
lost" ssid the ambassador; "and I d.
not think there are four subjects in the
world that would do as much for th'
sovereign. ."-London Society.

The Trade In Birds.

A busy out quiet industry in this city
is that of the bird fanciers. A ealer in
canary birds says that last year he i'm
ported 100, 900 birds, which were readi-
ly disposed OF at fair prices. They are
generally brought from the Hartz noun
tain region of Germany. From the
large dealers fine male canary with a
good voice can be bought for $3. Choice
specimens with extraordinary vocal
powers bring, sometimes, $40. Female
birds for breeding purposes sell for 81.
Unscrupulous dealers. particularly street
vendors, palm off on the unwary the fe-
males for good songsters, and only after
patient waiting do the owners, who
have been sold as well as the birds, find
it out. An amateur slight-of-hand per-
former gives this as his method for rem
dering canary tame enough for trick
playing: "Take young bird and put
oil of bergamot on his bill. 1t will
make him as drunk as lord then
roll him in your hands until he is famil-
lar with your touch, and put him in his
cage to come to himself. He can be
handled afterward at any time without
being at all frightened. Then the first
thing is to teach him to climb up your
fingers as o ladder, and to hop on your
thumb. Soon ne can be taught to do
anything"
Next to the canary the mocking bird
is most in demand. Those whose vocal
powers are well-developed are sold for
S25 and upward. The birds come from
Virginia and other Southern States, and
also from Mexico. The bullfnch is
highly regarded when well-trained. 1t
can be taught to whistle tunes. There
is one in Chatham street which whistles
"Pretty Polly Perkins" Its price is
S25. One which can whistle ten tunes
is valued at $40. The goldfnch, ,chafinch,
nightingale, lark and the linnets and
thrushes are also priced as songsters.
OF other birds not songsters, thirty diff
ferent species, kept as pets for then
beauty or requirements, may be found
in market. Of these the parrot is most
in demand. A well-trained bird ot
either the gray African variety, or the
green American. is worth $50, or even
S1OO. The most brilliantly colored
birds are the Australian paroquets ano
strawberry inches.-New York7ribune

CaRre Dances,

The usual signs of festivity in Caffre
kraal is the slaughter of several sheep,
which, when the members of the tribe and
their friends are collected together, are
cooked in their large iron pot, and eaten
with great relish and appetite. The
women sit apart from the men and elder
boys, and cook separately, and all await,
silent and dignifed, the commencement
OF the first course, when for a couple of
hours it is continuous eating and
cooking. Having consumed few
pounds each, party of men advance on
small slightly raised circle of the
ground. Holding the assegai in the
right hand, blanketo or sheepskin carosse
thrown over the left, they commence
going round in a circle, chanting and
marking time, the emphasis on the right
foot. They strain all tho muscles of the
body in SO doing, and comfort the fea-
lures of the face as they shake their
assegais. At times one will leap into
the center OF the circle, shooting and
going through warlike motions; then,
retiring to his former place, the whole
party resumes the monotorous circular
motion. When they are tired, fresh
lot takes their places, and so on. The
women have their dance apart, and the
girls also, apart from the married
women, at the same time.

That Checker.BOard,

Up to three evenings ago such thing
as checker-bo WAS never known in
Mr.. Grattan's house. He and his aged
partner have managed to pass the long
evening gs very pleasantly, and he sup.
posed they were happy enough until q
friend from the East paid them a flying
visit and asserted over and over again
that the game of checkers was not only
all the rage there, but that it served to
quicken the perceptive faculties, enlarge
the mind and render the brain more
active. After giving the subject due
thought, MIR. Grattan walked down town
and purchased a checker-board, and
when evening came he surprised his
good wife by bringing it in from the
woodshed and saying:
"Well, Martha, we'll have game or
two before We 60 over to the social. l
expect to beat you all to flinders, but
you won't care" .-.
"Of course not; and if I beat you,
why, you won't care" she replied.
They sat down, and he claimed the
first move. She at once objected; but
when lie began to grow red in the face
she yielded, and he led off. At the
fourth move she took man, chuckling
as she laked him in.
"I don't see anything to grin at, he
sneered, as he moved man backward.
"Herel you can't move that wayl"
she cried out.
81 can't, ehp Perhaps I never
played checkers before you were born. :"
She saw q chance to jump two more
men, ard gave in the point; but as she
moved he cried out: 49,. :...
"Put them men right back there !
I've concluded not 10 move backward,
even if Hoyle does permit it
She gave in agsin; but when he
jumped man her face grew red, and
she cried out:
ct didn't mean to move there; I was
thinking of the social I;
"Oant help the social, Martha-.we
must 60 by Hoyle."
In about two minutes she jumped Swo
men, and went into tho king row, shout
ing:
"Crown him crown him I've got
kingp
Zone would think by your childish
actions that you never played a game
before 70 he growled out.
"I know enough to beat you u
"You do, eh9 Some folks are awful
smart"
"And some folks amt ~ she snapped,
as her king captured another man.
"Wnat in thunder are you jumping
that way for?"
GA king can Jump any way"
"No. he can'tl"
"Yes, he can."
"Don't talk back to me, Martha
Grattan Twas playing checkers when
you we're in your cradle |"
"T don't carel I can jump two men
whichever way you move"
He looked down on the board, saw
that such was the case, and roared out:
"You've moved twice to my once! !"
81 haven'tl"
"I'll take my oath you have can't
play against any such blackleg prac-
tices |"
"Who's blackleg /? You not only
cheated, but you tried to lie out of it /"
Board and checkers fell between them.
He could get on his hat quicker than
she could find her bonnet, and that was
the only reason why he got out of the
house first. a Woodward-avenue
grocer found him sitting on basket of
Gran berries at the door as he was clos
ing up for the night, and asked him il
he was waiting for his wife to come
along. L

A Suggestion for the Sick Room.

A sick room should be kept as quiet
as possible, says an exchange. In cases
of severe illness there is nothing more
annoying to the patient than the noise
made by pouring coal into stove to re-
plenish the fire. 1t is nuisance in
more ways than one; but it can be
avoided. A lady requests US to men,
ton the very simple plan of filling a
paper bag or tunnel with coal, and hav-
ing it in readiness to gently place upon
the fire. This is suggestion worth
needing, and should be received with
thankfulness and acted upon whenever
there may happen to be ally person
sick.
