oner by order of the President of Peru. The commander of the Alaska says that he heard that Gordon was almost in state of starvation and he called on Col. Rios, commanding the city, to request permission to send provisions to the prison for Gordon. Colonel Rios said that the prisoner might be taken on board of the vessel, and Gordon was de- ivered to the commander of the Alaska by Colonel Rios.
 Tt appears from documents trans mitted by the President to the Senate that the receipts and disbursements under the agreement between the Uni ted States and the Ute Indians in Sep- tember, 1873, ratified April 29, 1874, have been as follows Receipts to July l, 1879, $129, 315.0 07; expenses for sup plies, implements and travelling expenses of delegation, $65, ,289. 72 leaving unex- pended 8 balance of $64, ,O25. 35. Dur ing the same period there has been ex- pended for the support of the Utes from annual appropriations made in &C., cordance with the treaty of 1868, $381, 003 99, which exceeds the requirements of the treaty.
 Both branches of the Maine Legis- ldbur0 were OTRdulH0u du11u6b SI0dU COu- fusion. In the Senate, the Republican members protested and refused to serve on committees or vote when their names were called. But they sat passive while the Fusiopists transacted the usual rou- tine business of the opening day of the session. In the House Eugene Hale made speech and by taking the oath he made quorum of the House. If he had held aloof with the other Repub- lican members and the two or three Fusionists who had conscientious scru- pies about availing themselves of their certificates, the House, according to the Republican lawyers, could not have been organized. Both Houses elected officers.
 MT. Pendleton revived the interest in the legal.tender question by introducing in the Senate, as an amendment to MT. Bayard's resolution on the subject, the following: "And said notes shall not be available for any of the reserves required to be kept by the national banks, and all such reserves shall be kept in coin. '' Speaker Randall is understood to be op- posed to any financial legislation at this session, and his influence has extend ed as far as the House Banking and Cur. rency Committee, which seems disposed to remain dormant throughout this ses. sion.

A Medicine Should not be GauRed

By the suddenness and violence of it's effects. Self-evident as this proposition would seem, there are many foolish persons who are con- tent only with remedy which acts abruptly. The pill and other nostrum- vendors wh 0 trade upon the credulty of this class, find their "best holi," as poor Arte1nus Ward termed it, in the sale of violent purgatives. So long as they wrench the bowels of their dupes sufi- ciently, they are pretty sure of certain meas ure of success. If instead of such perncious rubbish, Hostetter Stomach Bitters is uscd tue results are widely different. The bowels are relieved, but always gently, by this pleas ant .xative, which does not weaken but in yigorates them, and endows the cooperative organs of digestion and bilious secretion with activity and regularity, strengthens the con- stitution and physi .ue, and while 1t is safe in it's constituents, Is sufficiently prompt in oper- ation.

Cooperation and the establishment of creameriss was urged as the only means of successfully meeting Western competition in butter-making. The West, it was said, is supplying the best hotels, capturing the premiums, and has the winning side with the trade gen. erally. The "gilt-edged /" butter of Mir. Starr and MT. Grant was cited, and it was claimed that if Eastern farmers would use the same care and appliances they could obtain as good returns; some doubted if the prices realized for these brands pay expenses, and thought the deficiency is met by fancy rates obtained for stock sold at such prices as few farmers can command. The condition of cream most favorable for making the best butter was generally considered to be just after it has passed the point of acidity, and if kept at that point few days all the better. MT. Cheever ob- tained formerly 85 cents per pound for his butter, but, owing to competition, now gets only 75. A Boston dealer be- gan to make speciality of gilt-edg butter at 40 cents as the demand in- creased he raised the pr1ce to 50 cents, and is satisfied with the profit to keep it there. The demand for really good article at 75 cents and over is very lim- ited, and it was stated that the surplus of some of these fancy dairies is sold at 30 to 40 cents. The question of the de- sirability of an experiment. farm and the importance of testing the improved dairy apparatus, and publishing the results, was recurred to and excited much in- terest,

RIVAL COTTON GROWERS.
Three Bales of the New Crop Ar
rive This Morning.

There was a stirring time among
the cotton dealers this forenoon. Ear.
ly in the morning word came that Z
wagon load of loose cotton, freshly
picked from the field of liza L. Doug
las, IL or IA miles north Of this city,
in the Fourth district, had arrived at
the Chickasaw gin, and as soon as
baled would be up in front Of Ar
buckle & Turnage's ready for market.
Along about 8 o'clock, a gentleman
passing noticed hat the Chickasaw
gin had no steam up; and, hearing
this, Secretary Gates of the cotton
exchange sent word to the merchants
that if any other bales arrived, he
would be compelled to set it down as
first cotton. Accordingly, at ten
o'clock in the forenoon, the steamer,
G. w. Cheek, came in from down the
river with two bales Of the new crop.
One Of these was raised by Colonel
w. G. Myers, of Bolivar county, Miss.
and consigned to 7. H. Allen & Co.;
the other by 7. B. Hooker, of Delt.
Landing, Coahoma county, Miss, and
consigned to Fulmer, Burton & Co.
In a few minutes after the new cotton
lay in front Of the cotton exchange,
ready for market, and Mr.. Douglass
Shelby county bale had not, mp to
that time, left the Chickasaw gin
house. The steamer Cheek brought
the two bales here free of freight
charge, according to the custom among
cotton carrying steamers.
The new bales from the river valley
below will class as middling. Both
bear evidences Of having been ginned
in a hurry, and while fresh and damp
from the picking baskets. In the
language of a buyer, always a bear,
you could almost wash your hands
with that cotton, and lay it out in the
sun it would dry out forty pounds in a
few days. One Of the bales appear
to have been considerably cut by the
sharp teeth of the gin saws. The
Douglass bale had not reached Front
street from the gin house up to the
hour Of noon.

UNDER THE SOD.
Laid Away Christian-like by the
Generous Aid Of Her own
Sex.

The last sad rites were performed
over the remains of the late Pauline
Markham, the frail young sister from
Central Arkansas, who committed
self-murder yesterday morning. Ser
vices were held at the grave by the
very reverend, the venerable, George
White, Of Calvary Episcopal church.
The expenses of the funeral were de-
frayed by a subscription raised among
the women of the town. The girls
lover, Charles White, for whom she
claimed to have killed herself,
because he had violated a prom
ise, did not turn up when the proper
time arrived to give decent burial,
and but for the generosity of the wo-
men a pauper's burial would have been
her lot. The young man, who has
been driving car No. 10 of the Main
street line, rested from labor yester-
day, and his intimates noticed that he
wore a detected, downcast appearance.
He is regarded by those who know
him as a perfect feminine heart
crusher. 1t is a notable, as we'll as a
com%mendable, feature of the gener
osity and kind disposition of the fallen
sisterhood that they rarely, if ever,
permit one of their number to fill a
pauper's grave. When those of the
opposite sex, who have contributed to
their downfall, fail to defray the nee
essary expense, in whole or in part,
aud there are no relatives to do it, the
better nature Of frail women rises
above their sOrdid- hearted destroyers;
and though no kindred, or even friend
ly, ties may exist, they rarely fail to
become prominent when one of the
unfortunates need aid, or respectable
interment.

Among some other foolish things

He propounded the question to a

that Rachel Jones is going ito change

resent being called by her maiden
name. But suppOsing Mrs. Brown To

One OF the assessors informed orr

exercised to obtain the maiden names
OF female proprietors, especially in the
case of vacant lots. OF course while
the de tacto name of a lady property

does not follow that her legal copno-
