to a lawyer the other day-"the plain

Sara Bernhardt's wardrobe was not so extern
sive as the customs officers had anticipated.
All goods which she was willing to swear she
had worn one or more times were admitted
duty free. Those which she admitted to be
new appraised at $1,000 francs, and she paid
duty on them to the amount Of between 81, 600
and 81, 100. She has, however, forwarded .
protest to the Treasury Department, asking
that this be refunded, on the ground that the
goods levied upon are "tools of her trade" q
point On which Secretary Sherman recently
made an advese decision in the case of Col
Mapleson.

Arousinr liz Readers.

An alarm of fire at midnight is a startling
thing, but not half go startling to many who
hear it as would be the sudden knowledge of
their own dangerous physical condition. Thou
sands of thousands are hurrying to their graves
because they are carelessly Indifferent to the
insidious inroads of disease and the means Of
cure. 1t is the mission of H. H. Warner & Co.,
with their Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, to
arouse men to a sense of their danger and then
cure them.-Menphis Appeal.

In this light David Davis is not included, as
he is an Independent. If he votes with the
Democrats the Senate will probably stand
thirty-seyen Republicans and thirty-seven
Democrats. Malone, of Virginia, is included
in the Democratic list. Should he act with the
R,publicans the Senate will be equally divided.

The Land Tr0ubles-Their Line
Of Defense.
Active preparation is going on among the
Land Leaguers of Ireland for the defense of
the agitators. The Irish Times says that it is
stated to be the intention of traversers to or
ganize their defense SO as to make it an ex-
haustive affair and force the Land Commission
to extend over a long period. They will ex-
anime Mr.. Gladstone in reference to his Mid
lothian speeches and his more recent utter
ances, Mr.. Bright upon his Manchester speech,
and Chief Secretary Foster both upon his
writings and his observations in the House Of
Commons. It is also their purpose to subpoena
several landlords in Ireland, as well as their
agents. Among those who will be summoned
will be the Duke of Leinster, Lord Sligo, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Kenmore,
Mr.. Mitchell, and Mr.. Henry. The line of de-
Tense will be as follows: They will, in the first
place, endeavor to show cause why information
should be taken against traversers. Upon this
point an interesting legal question is ex-
pected to arise. Having pleaded not guilty, and
the case having gone to trial, they will examine
witnesses with the purpose, as stated, of justi-
flying the speeches upon which it is sought to
condemn them. They intend to produce ten
ant farmers from different parts Of the coun-
try, especially those districts in which the land
meetings were held. With reference to the
charge of conspiracy, they propose rendering
in evidence the work done by the Land League
in its character as q relief committee during the
recent period of distress in Ireland. John Dill

The American Flag Torn and Trample
UROn by ChlllNna.

upon oy CuAAluns.
A dispatch from Panama says Capt. Sage, Of
the American steam launch IspPel, has made a
statement to the United States Consular Agent
at Payton, OF the seizure Of his vessel in that
port by the Chilians, while he was on shore.
CharlesAlston and Robert McLeish, the engi-
neers, declare they were on board ut the time,
and we're ordered out of the launch by officers
who took possession of her, taking down the
United States flag. One of the CHILEAN officers
stamped on the flag several times, uttering
curses against the people of the United States,
who, as they said. were the cause of the blowing
up of two of their war vessels during the pres
emit war with Peru. The Chilians took the
launch alongside the war ship Italia, and Aston
and McLeish were taken on board of the O'Hig-
gins on the 18th, and were landed or the 22d
and delivered to the Consulate. The clothes
and all that belonged to the engineers were
taken from them. The CHILEAN flag was hoisted
in place of the United States colors as soon as
they took possession of the launch. Patricio
Lynch, chief of the expedition, sent an officer
to the Consulate on the 21st, and demanded
that Capt. Thomas Gaize go to him and take
with him the Isabel's register. Capt. Gaize was
accordingly taken to Lynch, and after ascer-
tanning that he was Captain of the Isabel, he
was taken prisoner and the register captured,
although properly made out by the United
States Consul at Callao. Capt. Gaize was i'm
mediately sent to the 0'Hfggins, where he was
detained twenty-four hours, and, after taking
his affidavit, was sent on board the Italia. There
he was. taken before Lynch, who offered Capt.
Gaize the value of the launch, providing he
would not make any claim to the government,
which Capt. Gaize refused to accept. Immedi-
ately after Capt. Gaize was placed ut liberty,

regards the favorable attitude OF the
countries of the Mediterranean toward
our people as largely attributable to the
influence of missionaries. The Al, 600, 900
inhabitants of the Turkish empire are

THE FAME OF WEST POINT.

The fame of West point will suffer in
the investigation of the case of Cadet
Whitaker. unless Gen. Schofeld and his
associates are extremely cautious. One
might think from the proceedings that
the colored cadet is accused of some
atrocious crime. 1t is well for the court
for which it was called is not to try Cadet
Whitaker, but to ascertain who injured
him. The presumption is altogether
against his having slit his own ears and
tied his own hands and feet, and the bur-
den of proof is wholly on the side of those
who seek to show that he is an impostor.
The refusal to permit him to have
counsel does not appear reasonable, when
it is remembered that court martial trials
have not heretofore debarred an accused
person from the privilege of counsel, and
the refusal to permit him to confront the
witnesses is certainly unjust. 1t may be
that the officers of West Point do not
the country in the trial now in progress
there, but the decision in Congress and
thc presence at West Point of United
states District Attorney Fiero, who an
nouuces his determination to make an
independent inquiry into the case, have a
significance which should not escape
them. The truth is, the whole country
is exceedingly skeptical as to the theory
that the colored cadet injured himself,
and the fame of West Point will suffer
severely if suspicion is cast upon him
without trial whose fairness even his
patron, Prof. Grccncr, cannot question.
Unfairness in this trial means an attempt
10 bar the doors of the National Military
academy against the colored race, and
the officers of West Point must use care
TO escape the suspicion of such an at
