JUDGE CLIFFeRD's SEAT.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The matter of fill
ing the vacancy in the United States supreme
bench, caused by the death of Judge Clifford,
is still talked Of here. Ex-Attorney General
Devens and Chief Justice Gray, of Massaehu-
sets, are candidates for appointment, and it is
said every New England State will have one or
more candidates, as it is assumed by that Sec
ton that the appointee will be from New Eng
land. The talk of giving the place to Elk
Senator COnkling is regarded as absurd, and
Conkliag's friends do not hesitate to say that
he would not have it. Theve are some PROM
inent Republicans who hold that Democrat
should be appointed, and by some it is thought
probable that if President Garfield survives he
will appoint Democrat.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.
A statement just prepared shows that there
are now over 1900 railway mail service mes
sengers distributed throughout the country.
During the past year several hundred were ad-
ded to the service.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury French
has prepared report giving the history of
the civil service under the old commission,
appointed by President Grant, and its adop-
ton in the New York custom house, and also
in the revenue marine service and marine hos
pital service, both of which are attached to
the treasury department. After getting a
correct view of the progress already made,
Secretary Window will determine how far and
in what manner he will extend the system of
civil service regulations throughout the de-
partment.
The irrepressible oace-seeker has again put
in an appearance at the White house. Three
of them have already importuned Mr.. Brown
to present their claims to the favorable con-
liberation of the President, but they received
no satisfaction. 1t is proposed to black list
all persons who go to the White house dur
ing the Presidents illness to present claims
for office, and to deny them all the privileges
of the White house.
Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, will build
q fine residence here, Frazer, the architect,
having made the plans. The dwelling is to
be three stories in height, % feet front by rs
deep. The front will be pressed brick and
have two bay windows. The expen Sc is
estimated at $4,000, and the residence will
rank among the finest in this city.

About o'clock last evening dense smoke
was observed to be pouring out of the base

The whole department responded, but only
one stream was sent into the building, and
that soon extinguished the little fire which

TIE wAsHBURN So BENEFIT WAKE.

THE HA0h bO I'M 90 W
There is little to be added to the report
of the GLOBE envoy, who, in behalf of an
appreciative public, contributed aims on
Tuesday to the amount of So, for the
benefit of the man who represents Min
neapolis exclusively on the floor of Con-
gress. 1t was an ignoble affair through
out.
The record has its sad feature in
the crushed and shapeless form of poor
Minnie Reeves, who was sacrificed in
order to clear the track for the aims
taker.
1t has its expensive feature for the
stockholders of the Minneapolis & St.
Louis road, who will be called upon by
the relatives of the yonng lady for five
thousand dollars-the amount allowed in
such cases by law-and two or three
thousand dollars more for repairs to roll
ing stock.
1t has its remuneratlve feature in the
shape of al tickets, multiplied by IS,
which sum will exclusively grace the
pockets OF the exclusive minneapolis
Congressman.
1t has it's shameless feature On the part
of Mr.. Washburn, who accepts charity
when appeals are going up from the
homeless and penniless sufferers of
Brown county for the means of subsist-
enee suddenly swept away by a terrible
cyclone. ..4S
There is no record of any similar
scheme to secure little money, for a
wealthy man, and in view of the plain
recital by the GLOBE, the experiment is
not likely to be repeated, even if Mime
apolis continues to be able to keep a
representative in Congress to care for
her interests exclusively, and misrepre-
sent the remainder of the district.

Compliment to Alderman Allen.

and Immediately after the park concert, headed
by the Great Union band, marched to the
Merchants hotel, and after serenade called
out Aid. A. Allen, in whose honor the COM
pany is named, to see the company parade.
The appearance was good one and the Alder

to the boys. Afterwards Aid. Allen and some

The Hest Remedy for Chapped Hands

Is Hegeman's Camphor Ice. 1t should be
rubbed upon the part affected. The warmth
of the skin will soften it sufficiently, under
ordinary circumstances, but in extreme cold
weather it may be necessary to warm it by the
fire. If the hands are badly chapped, apply
every night, and protect the hands by wearing
an old pair of kid gloves. Hegeman's is the
best and most popular of all the Cam hor
Ices made. Hegeman's Cnmphor Zee is also
cure for sore lips, chapped face, and sunburn.
1t is compounded with glycerine, which rem
ders it more enrolment than any other Cam
phOr Ice, and will be found most soothing
application to the face after shaving.
Be sure 10 ask for Hegeman's formerly
made by Hegeman & Co., New York, and now
made by the Metropolitan Med. Co., of New
Haven, Conn. y and do not be put off with any
other compound which may become rancid
and do you more harm than good Hcge
mans Camphor Ice never fails.

Says the st. Louis Republican: There was
a custom prevailing up to 1886 on the boats
that would seem strange to our young river
men of 1881. All barkeepers were required to
furnish the dinner table with brandy, gin,
whisky and three kinds of VINE, placing six
decanters of liquor on the table every day,
when on a voyage, for the use of passengers
and crew, and in addition 10 that they had to
furnish all the officers on the boat with all
the liquor they desired to drink at the bar, and
also send down to the deck hands and fremen
about one pint to each man while on watch.
This was to pay the rent of the bar.

NEW YORK, July 26.-The warfare in pas
senger rates to the West, between the trunk
lines, continues undated, and it is probable
it will continue for some time to come. In
fact, the struggle between the companies,
which has for the last few days been some
what limited in character, was renewed this
morning with increased energy. Yesterday
afternoon the New York Central road an
bounced they would sell tickets to Chicago
far IS. 50; to Cincinnati for $3.50, and to
It, Louis Tor Sl3.75. This was followed BY
fne Pennsylvania Central, New York, Lake
Erie & Western, and the Baltimore & Ohio
aiIrOads. When the ticket brokers or scalp
ars opened their offices this morning there
Was great rush for tickets, which were
cffered at the following rates: To Chicago
for IS, Cincinnati $3.50, and st. Louis $l3 rs.
1T the regular ticket offices tickets were
sold at the same rates as were established
ny the Pennsylvania road yesterday, until
Agen: of the Pennsylvania Central railroad,
sent dispatches to all ticket offices of the
line, instructing agents to sell tickets
to Chicago for So, to Cincinnati
for 81 80, and st. Louis for $13.25. AS soon
as we hear that the scalpers are selling below
our rates we shall instruct our ticket agents
to sell at the same price asked by them, ana
we will keep up this fight as long as anybody.
We are not waging warfare against scalpers,
out it is against the Erie and New York Cen:
trail roads that we are fighting, for they are
selling tickets to these scalpers and allowing
them to sell them at rates lower than they
are sold over their own counters.

An interesting and important point:
concerning the finding bodies of drowned
persons in the Mississippi river is made
by Deputy Coroner Preadlow, of st.
Louis, who has been engaged in secuT-
ing and caring for these bodies for near
ly twenty years. April is the great
month for the finding of bodies in the
river. Then is the time when what they
term the five and six monthers are found.
Bodies that have been at the bottom of
the river all winter always rise in April.
In fact, all the cases of drowning in the
winter are surely heard of in April, if
ever. Most cases of drowning, the fig
ures prove, take place in August.
Then, the water being warm, the
body rises to the surface within
forty-eight hours after its disappear
ance. In May, the body that goes
to the bottom is seldom heard of until
nine days have passed by. The temper
allure Of the water governs the time. So
long as the water is cold the body is pre-
served. AS soon as the water commences
to change from cold to warm the tissues
expand and soften, and the body be-
comes filled like a sponge with water.
This equivalent weight makes the body
weigh less than the water and it rises to
the surface
