Chonces-Le Dues Experiment, ETC., etc.
tFrom Our Regular Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 0.
Not only has the deadlock been broken but
war, to speak metaphorically, has broken out
other end Of the avenue, or, as Is generally
understood, between Senator Conkllng and the
Secretary of State The senior senator from
New York has had it in his power, at any
time during the past two months, to secure an
executive session, and the confirmation of the
New York appointecs whose names were yes
terday withdrawn by the President. OF Judge
Robertsons confirmation there is no doubt as
soon as his name is reached, and now, unless
his name Is reached, none of the New York
appointecs will be reached, and Senator Conk-
ling finds his personal and political friends
held as hostages IN the camp of the enemy.
Senator Conkling SAID some time ago: "lf |
once cross the river, will never come back. "
Whether he has crossed the river by his own
act or not may be questioned, but there is now
an impossible chasm between him and the
executive.
The friends of Stanley Matthews are count
ing favoraby on his confirmation by the aid of
Democratic votes at an early date, or as soon
as his name can be reached, They claim to-
have made thorough canvass OF both sides of
the senate and to have found sixteen republi-
cans and twenty-five democrats who will vote
for HIM beyond question. Southern democratic
senators are sad to favor Matthews because
the president has expressed al earnest desire
to have him confirmed, and they do not wish
to antagonize him, many of them having ia
vors to ask of them in the way of patronage.
Twenty boxes of tea, of the crop of 1881,
raised on the plantation of Mr. John Jackson,
in Georgia, arrived at the Department of Agrl-
culture "A few days since. Commissioner lie
Duo sent out invitations to the leading gro
GERS of the city, several OF whom assembled
at the department yesterday afternoon Tea
from all the boxes was thoroughly tested at
the laboratory and compared with some of the
best India teas on hand in the Department
from last years crop. The city grocers were
satisfied that the home product was as good in
every respect as any OF the India teas in the
market.
The handsome room Of the senate commit
tee on railroads was yesterday the scene OF a
novel exhibition. A track sixteen feet long
was laid on high office stools, with gas mains,
telegraph wires and other addenda to elevated
l. &
good sized cars. The invention, to exhibit
which this display was made, was r. S. Jen-
ming automatic railway signal system, This
consists in placing gas or electric lamps at
stated intervals apart, the distance between the
lamps constituting a block. Connected with
these lamps is system of pipes and electric
wires, operated by valves which are moved by
a trip lever attached to the locomotive. lhls
il is claimed, makes complete and automatic
block, and gives absolute security against &C
cldents from collision.

There is no doubt that oleo-margarine, prop
erly made, is both edible and wholesome.
Thus Prof. Chandler, who was employed by
the New York Board of Health to examine
the article as offered in the markets of that
city, reports that much of 1t he found was in
all respects superior to the poorer grades Of
dairy butter; that there was nothing objec-
tionable IN its material or manufacture, and
there was no need of legislation against such
an article to protect public health.

MUSICIN THE NIGHT.

When stars pursue their flight
on in the middle Of the night
A strain Of music visits me,
flushed in moment sllvery-
Such rich and rapturOus strains as make
The very soul Of silence ache
With longing for the melody.
Or lovers in the distant dusk
or summer gardens sweet with musk,
POurinA the Dlissful burden out,
The breaking Joy, the dying doubt;
or reyellorsoaii fiown with wine,
And in madness half divine,
Beating the broken tune about.
Or else the rude and rolling notes
That leave some strOlling sailors throats.
Hoarse with the salt spray, it may be,
OF many mile of rushing sea;
Or some hiyh-mindcd dreamer strays
Late through the solitary ways,
Nor heeds the listening night nor me.
Or how, or whence those tones he heard,
Hearing, the slumberng soul is stirred
As when u swiftly passing light
Startles the shadows into flight,
While one remembrance suddenly
Thrills through the melting melody
A strain of music in the night.
Out Of the darkness bursts the song,
Into the darkness moves along;
Only chord Of memory jars,
Only Nh old wound burns its scars,
As the wild sweetness of the strain
Smites the heart with passionate pain,
And vanishes among the stars.

Rumors About s.Star Route" Brady.

Numerous rumOrS have been III circu-
lation in Washington relative to the
suddcnly-tendered resignation of Second
Assistant Postmaster General Brady.
1t is expected that other changes will
follow, since it is alleged that there
have been irregularities and unfaithful-
ness in the Department. 1t is stated
that on the LIST of January, 1880, the pay
for carrying the mails on less than 100
out of more than 5000 Star routes had
cen increased from about 500, 900 ut
the time of letting the contracts to s.
300, 900 by orders for additional trips
aud shortened time. A considerable
portion Of this increase, it is alleged,
went into the pockets of favored contrac-
tors and their confrdcrateS.

nails, wrought nail nearly shaped like
meat hook, which cut through the

A DEAR DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
Succeeding on Reform Promises In
Cincinnati, and Heartily Sick of
the Result.

CINCINNATI, April 31.-'rhe disad-
vantage under which the Republican
party has been placed in this State by
the action Of the Legislature, now hap
pily adjourned, will be overcome in q
measure, if not entirely, by the course
of the new Democratic and reform May
or of this city. In the matter of ap-
pointments the wishes and advice Of
the party leaders are being entirely ig-
nore,l, and bitter feeling is being fast
developed.
Several leading Democrats have de-
clared that they will have no further
relations with Mayor Means, and many
others, though they say nothing, are
dissatisfied and sullen. The election it
is plain to see, has brought the party
little in the way of patronage that will
count. Worse than this, the reforms
in the matters of Sabbath observance
and liquor selling, which were used as
capital during the campaign, but with
no intention on the part Of the Demo
cratic managers of ever carrying them
ont, Means now declares will be carried
to the letter. Over this the party is be-
ginning to feel very sore. 1t is a re-
SponSibility that no party can assume
in Cincinnati without incurring certain
defeat at the next election. The Mayor
has issued an order that every body
found violating the StubbS law next
Sunday will be arrested at once and
brought 70 trial in the Police Court
The defiance with which his order for
last Sunday was received, has made
him much more obstinate in his pur.
pose to enforce the law, and
he will go at it next Sunday
in dead earnest. The Germans will
take it as an attack on their liber-
ties and declare that they will hold the
Democratic party strictly responsible.
Taken altogether, the recent Demo
cratic victory here is working the party
deci led injury, and Hamilton County
is likely to come up in the Fall with one
