OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
wAsurNorov. d. O.. June 4, Isl

WASHINGTON, d. O., June 4, 1879
what may be called the second general engage
ment between the two parties In Congress sab0ut
to commence. The Democrats have agreed upon
and announced their plan OF battle. IL Is, briefly,
to vote the Army supplies, coupled with prOvis-
ion that none OF the money voted shall be used TO
pay for the services, transportation or equipment
OF troops TO be used at the polls Also as the Leg
isative, Executive and Judicial appropriation bill
OF 1878 did not provide for any judicial expenses,
they propose to extend that bill for one year and
make the judicial expenditures the subject OF a
separate bill. Last year they were voted as an
amendment to the Sundry Civil Bill. In this sep.
arate bill there win be no provision for the pay
ment Of deputy marshals or supervisors.
The Democrats hope TO secure the approval OF
President Hayes to all these bills and also to one
changing the qualifications and manner Of Sc
lecting u s. Iuries. On the other hand, the Re-
publlcans will fight all those measures in Congress
and rely upon the President to veto them II
passed
II a determined contest occurs, the day Of ad-
journment will be later than any heretofore
named.
The President yesterday nominated Secretary
OF War, McOrary,to Jadgeship. The retirement
Of Mr.. McCrary will be regretted by the many
friends he has made during his long service in this
clIy. his SuccbSSOf mas fnOJ yet DeeH Balneu, DuJ
1t is thought some one from the Northwest will
be chosen. Gov. Ramsey, OF Mimi, has been sug
gested among others.
Before the burial Of Hon. E. O. Ingersoll, on
Monday, in this city, there were no services ex
cept an Grafton by Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, broth
er Of deceased. Col. 1ngersoll spoke very feeling
ly. Mr.. Ingersoll was an able and much respect
ed Representative in Congress from Illinois for
many years, but OF late has been In the practice
OF law here.
Gen. and Ex-senator Jas. Shields died lastweek
and the War Department and the Senate will
take appropriate notice Of the event The Gen
eral, during his late term in the Senate, was the
recipient of many fatterng attentions from those
who had known and associated with him at dif-
ferent times in his Congressional and varied ca
reer.
When some months ago, there was an immense
robbery of bonds from bank in New York, a
bill was introduced and passed through Congress
authorizing the issue OF bonds to the bank in
place OF those stolen BY confession just made
by one of the robbers, it appears that they raised
money TO send here to delay action on the bill, so
as to give them time to compromise with the bank.
The delay was secured. 1t is inferred from this,
by some papers that members OF Congress were
hired to cause the delay. Any one at all familiar
with such matters will see that the inference Is,
to say the least, a wholly unnecessary one. But
the facts are curious. OLIVE.

moved with great difficulty. The child
was only slightly injured, his escape be-
ing attributed to the mysterious band
age around him.
The storm was extremely violent In
the vicinity of Delphos, Ottawa county,
and fifteen dead bodies have been
brought in two square miles of terrific
ry. One man from Beloit was taken up
in his wagon and thrown tothe ground
again and instantly killed. A woman and
child were thrown against wire fence
and killed. Five persons were killed
In one house at Delphos. The crops have
been severely injured all along the line
of the storm.
IRVING, Kansas, June 2. = Thirty
deaths certain and flfty-three persons
badly injured in the recent cyclone.
People want money to get necessaries of
life which are not at hand. Ten persons
were buried to day. From fifty to sixty
families at Frankfort, Kansas, are rem
dered houseless and destitute of cloth
ing, provisions and farming implements.
The citizens of that place have contri-
buted 500. More aid is needed.

A lot OF school children living at
Newark, VT, drank from brook run
ming near the school house. or the
children who drank the poisoned brook
water, Is have died, as follows Five
children of John Aldrich, the entire
family two of Edward Morse, one of
Frederick Simpson, three of l.. Wilson,
one of Mr.. Park, and two of John Cole.
Mrs. Aldrich is hopelessly insane.
The teacher of the school had noticed
something wrong about the taste of the
water and forbade Its use in the school,
but seventeen scholars used 1t and were
stricken down and within twenty-four
hours eleven were dead. Five others
have been very i'll, but they are at pres
ent more comfortable, with some hopes
of their ultimate recovery. A son of
Mr.. Hudson pulled through.
Just above the school house was q
field of potatoes last season and Paris
green was used extensively to extermin-
ate the potato bugs. The potato tops
were dumped into the barnyard of
Horace Cheney, who built drain from
the barnyard to the brook. He al so
buried colt in the spring of 1878 on
the edge of the brook and the flowing
water washed out parts of the carcass.
A Mr.. Simpson, who has lost one child
by the poisoning, objected to the colt
being buried there, and caused Cheney
to move it. 1t was reburied in swamp
only fifty feet from the brook, and the
water from which ran into the brook.
Cheney remarked at the time "he
guessed he didn't bettered it much for
Simpson," who uses brook water for
household purposes. Violent threats
are freely expressed toward Cheney.
Samples of the water have been sent
to Boston for analysis, and the select
men will not take any proceedings until
the result is known. Others among both
old and young who have drunk from the
brook have suffered from similar symp-
toms, but in milder form, and they
have soon recovered. Six physicians
have been unremitting in their attend
ance.
Public opinion runs high, each one
having his or her views of the trouble,
no two stories being alike.

The Best is the Cheapest.


The announcement that new edition Of
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary has just been
published, containing many new and valuable
features suggests the thought that buying a.
Dictionary is good deal like buying an egg
or watch a bad one Is not cheap at any
price, Webster being the standard authority for
the English language, he naturally has many
imitators, but imitators are usually held at
their true worth by the public who wants a
wooden nutmeg, though 1t may look ever so
much like the genuine artielel The popularis
ty of Webster is based upon this principle.
If you want handy thing to carry with
you, companion that you can always rely
upon, and one that will never tire you, really
vGde necun,we recommend that you get a copy
of the pocket edition of Webster, with its 49,
600 words and meanings, rules for spelling, ta-
bles of weight and measures, abbreviations,
words, phrases and proverbs from the ancient
and modern languages.
1t is printed from new type, and bound in
morocco, with tucks, and bright gilt edges,
and, when not otherwise obtainable, will be
sent by mail, on receipt of on dollar, by the
publishers, Ivison, Blakely, Taylor & Co., 1875

attention from the physicians. A week
ago she accidently broke the top Off one of
her teeth, which was then extracted, and
she has since been bleeding to death. Her
body is covered with large black spots
caused by the extravasation of blood. AS
fast as the bleeding is checked in one
portion Of her mouth It breaks out anew N
another spot, and finally the blood poured
from her nose.
rB- The other day prominent railroad
man at Indianapolis, who has no intimate
acquaintance with the capabilities of the
telephone, and is particularly ignorant of
the microscopic attachment which when
the mouth is placed near itand It is used
with loud voice, blurs the sound. The
other day he spoke to lady operator over
the wire and her answer came to him
spread out like dough under heavy roll
ing pin. "Gracious goodness" said he,
turning away from the instrument and
addressing bystander in his office, "That
woman talks as If she hadn't tooth in her
head" when he was completely demoral-
lied to hear the telephone scream in
very high shrill key, eyes have, you old
brute, and you'd better mind how you talk
about me !" And then he withered like a
frost-bitten morning glory.

Of inte rest to Teachers.


State Superintendent Wickersham has
issued the following notice, which we
publish for the benefit of teachers:
"The signs of the times indicate the
application of largely increased numbers
of persons for teachers certificates dur
ing the current year. They will come to
examination possessing all degrees of
qualification for the work of teach
ing, very good, good, fair, poor and very
poor The purpose of this article is to
request the superintendents to adopt
such standard of qualifications as will
shut out all applicants except about
enough to supply the schools. In this
way the schools will be protected from
the rush of incompetent teachers, the
teachers profession will be strengthened
and elevated, and the educational inter-
ests of the public will be greatly subserv-
ed. The threatened evil is swarm of
incompetents in our school rooms at
very low salaries. If not checked, it
will drive the best teachers out of the
profession and greatly increase the eff
cheney of our schools. The men to
guard the school interests thus jeopar-
died are the Superintendent. 1t is
their duty to do it without fear OF
favor"
