TELEGRAPH
TO uANDAMUS ARTHUR.
The Central Pacific Proposes
TO Wake Hin President.
aad has q GOOD Case.

! Washington, % Officers OF the Cen
trail Pacific have been considering the ad-
vlss bIlty of mandamus compelling
| vice President Arthur TO appoint an
auditor OF railroad accounts, on the
ground that the bureau is now without a
head, and will be compelled, in conse-
/ queHce to rest under the odium Of u
charge to defraud government, while
they are ready and anxious to proceed to
trial as soon as commissioner is tp-
pointed. Some time ago there was q
stay of proceedings granted, on q motion
OF Assistant United States District At
tOrney Clarke, in the circuit court of
New York, until thirty days after an
auditor of railroad accounts was ap-
pointed by the President, and extending
the time Of taking the testimony three
months after the expiration of the stay,
thus moving delay OH motion
lof counsel for government Of
four months after the commissioners
shall be named. Defendants, it is said,
intend to base their application for
maadamus upon the Instructions Of At
torney- General Macy esgh to Mr.. Clark,
In which hesaid the case must rest as it
is until the President is able to appoint
a commissioner, thus especially admitting
the constitutional inability of the Presl-
dent. Is appears that the law is so con-
structed that in case of vacancy in a
bureau such as this, the appointment of
the chief Of which is not vested in the
head of the department to which
the bureau belongs, the deputy OF
such officer or chief clerk shall per-
form the duties of the Office until
a successor is appointed. The act Great
ing the Office OF auditor Of railroad ac-
counts does not provide for any deputy
or chief clerk, so in this case there Is no
one under the law to perform these
duties. The person in Office now is simply
bookkeeper whom Secretary Kirk
wood had placed there to keep up the
books, but he has no official status, and
no one can do the duties of auditor until
the President shall appoint some one to
fill the yocancy. In the meantime the
same act referred TO above makes its de-
mands upon the auditor, who does not
now exist, to examine the books and &C.
counts of the railroads west, north and
south of tho Missouri River, to which Is
being granted subsidies IN bonds or
lands; to certify to the correctness Of the
accounts, and the separate laws relative
to land grant roads, says the auditor
shall do this, or some one he may APP
point. No one else has authority. Up
on the language of this act it is. reported
the Central Pacific will lay claim to en-
forced hardship in the matter now pend
ing between them and the government,
the Atlantic and Pacific and New Or
leans Pacific Companies.

Dear Sir.-In reply to your inquiry
we will state that we are running the
Agitator Thresher, sold by you to Bishop
Barton and others. 1t is doing most ex-
cellent work, very easy to feed, capacity
very large, have tried it in very weedy
and damp grain, both wheat and oats,
and never saw machine with easier
draft on the horses, or run so smoothly
and do as good work. Many have been
to see it run and have expressed the same
opinion. No chance for any grain to be
carried off with the straw; the Elevator
works like a charm-never saw any to
equal it. We are satisfied it excels any
machine We ever saw, and we feel ex-
ceedingly we'll pleased with it.

STRAW HAT MAKING.
HOW EUROPE PROVIDES MATERIAL
AND AMERICA WORKS 1.-THE
GROWTH OF AN IMMENSE
INDUSTRY,

On the ground floor of a Crosby street
tenement score of girls were seated
along lengthy table Of pine boards.
Through the open window the sound
of rollicking italian air, in a very
fair tenor voice, rolled out upon the
ear Of Sunday Neo1S reporter. The
singer was handsome, swarthy man,
in dazzling white shirt, in strong con-
trast to his brown skin, who was lolling
on the ledge, with one eye on the girls
and the other on the street. The re-
porter's attention being given this di-
rection, strayed beyond the singer into
the room and he saw that the girls were
making straw hats.
The musical gentleman graciously
and intelligently permitted himself to
be interviewed at length upon this in
teresting and seasonable topic. He
had been in the business for some years,
he said, and manufactured both mems
and women's hats, and what he did not
know about the subject was not worth
knowing. The braid from which the
hats are made, he said, comes almost
entirely from Europe. Ne braid of any
consequence is made in this country,
though some years ago numbers of wo-
men and children made living plait-
ing straw in Massachusetts,, Connecti-
cut and some other States. The fash
ion changed and put an end to this in
dustry, it seems. The straw plated
here was almost exclusively rye straw,
which was too large to be plated whole.
1t was split by comb-like instrument
which slit it into braids of equal size !;
these were made into plaits. But there
has not been sufficient market for split
straw braids for some years back to en-
courage the industry, and it has almost
perished. 1t is commencing to revive
a little now, and there are hopes for it
in the future.
There will probably be time when
we will make our own braids, but at
present this is far from being the case.
There is plenty of straw, but the sort
most valuable in hat making is not as
yet cultivated here. The best comes
to us from Italy. 1t is said that the
Italian climate is especially favorable
to the color and quality of straw. The
Tuscan straw is the product of a pecu-
liar slender and long-bearded wheat,
which being sown very thickly is forced
to grow abnOrmally longer and thinner.
While the ears are still milky the wheat |
is harvested, and when dried in the
sun it is stacked for time to undergo |
a preliminary bleaching. Itgets sanother
by being spread to the action of the
dew and sun, and final one with steam
and sulphur.
1t is then sorted according to size,
and is given out for plating. This is
done by peasant women and children,
who braid the straw into strips of var
ious widths, according to the number
Of straws used, and earn from ten to
twenty cents day by incessant labor.
The braids are always made of whole
straw. This is a popularity of the
Italian brands equivalent to a trade
mark. They are made about fifty yards
.ong, unless they are ordered longer OF
shorter. When finished the braid is

PIE.

A young man whom we will call
Dudley Ashton went out to the North
park few weeks ago to write up the
mines, and otherwise whoOp up the
country and make it blossom as the
rose.
After he had been there some time,
he thought that the miners didn't live
high enough. He had been accustomed
to luxury and pie, so he said he would
show the boys how to make pie.
Everyone was glad that a professional
pie-promOter had struck the camp, and
there was general good feeling all
around.
So Dudley took off his coat and took
a chew of tobacco, and laid the fOun-
dations for six fre-proof pies. He
made some plaster-of-paris dough with
amalgam filling, and proceeded to put
in the works" He got some canned
blackberries that were on Jack creek
when the Indians invaded the camp
years ago, and that were so hard even
then that the Utes would not touch
them.
These he kiln-dried and laid in the
pie, holding them in place with ten
penny nails and trimmed with over
skirt of the same. After that, he was
ready to put on the sheet-iron roof.
This he did, fastening it down with
wrought-iron rivets. Then he got an
engraver to put his monogram on the
top, and put the whole six pies in the
retort Of the assayer's furnace.
The following week the pies were
taken out, still at white heat. They
were gradually cooled, and after the
midday meal of bacon and coffee every
man put his napkin under his chin and
smacked his lips while Dudley took a
pie out to the blacksmith shop to divide
it up for dessert.
Only one man ate any pie that day.
He was the man above whose lowly
tomb the blue-eyed poison weed is wa
wing, and where, in the quiet midnight,
the soft-voiced coyote COOS a mellow
requiem.
The boys in the park feared that they
would have to kill man in order to
start cemetery, but when that pie
penetrated the system of its victim,
death entered the new metropolis, and
on the plain white slab erected over
the new made grave they simply
wrote:
Turn, sinners, turn why will ye die
From eating cold cast-iron pie.

StTanu DfdIu GlIdC WUI1en'S cn1p mats
are made. Lombardy is not straw
braid at all, but the wood of the Lom-
hardy poplar, which has been buried
for three years to dry out the sap, and
SO bleach the fiber from red to light
straw color.
Switzerland follows Italy in braid
production for this market. The Swiss
straw is different from the italian, and
is differently cured. It is also split
and doubled, which gives it construc-
tive trademark, too. The COburg,
Luton and Senate, or notched braids,
are Swiss. All the fancy braids also
come from Switzerland. Among these
are the imitation chip braids made of
tape on peculiar machine invented by
some Switzer, and which have large
and steady sale in France and here.
Braids made of horse hair imported
from Russia are also manufactured in
Switzerland. England used to send us
a good deal of braid produced in Bed
fordshire, where Luton is the centre of
great straw industry, but the cheap
labor and production of the continent
have driven the English braids out Of
the American market. English, like
split braids, are made of split straw.
As in pretty much everything else me-
chanical, John Bull is behind us in
straw-splitting. He uses wire with
cutting edges where we have machine
for straw-splitting. But, as we have
already said, he has ceased to find
market here, so his methods need not
concern us. We make better split braids
on our own account, as the italian gen.
tleman observed, adding, explanatOri-
ally :. 81 good citizen.
John Chinaman sends us good deal
in the way of braids and hats. The
braids are principally what are known
as white and mottled canton, respect
lively. The hats are those rough hats
familiar to every one, sold for fishing
and country wear, and are the same as
are worn by the boatmen on the Chi
nese rivers. They are imported in
bales, fifty dozen to the bale, and cost
from sixty-five cents to 50 80 dozen,
according to size and quality. About
5000 bales year are sold in this coun-
try. South and central America send

EXPENSIVE DRUGS.

There are two mad men in Milwau-
kee. One is bald-headed man and
the other is a druggist. The bald man
told doctor that his hair was falling
out, and asked him if he didn't know
of something that would stop it. The
doctor said he would fix him, so he
wrote prescription, which was as fol-
lows:
Chloride of sodium, OF.
shake we'll ell a and rub on the scalp Ve every
morning.
The bald man went to druggist and
had the prescription put up, paving a
dollar and seventeen cents for it. He
asked the druggist if it wasn't little
high, but felt ashamed when the drug
gist asked him if he knew how much
aqua pura cost a gallon. He said he
didn't, but supposed it come high. The
druggist told him aqua pura was one of
the most penetrating drugs in the
store, and as for chloride of sodium,
there was nothing like it, and the war
in Peru had sent it up kiting. He
said if the trouble in Chill kept on
there was no knowing how high it
would be. The bald man used the
medicine, and felt as though it was
doing him good. His wife noticed lit
tie new hairs coming out, and he felt
good &; so when the stuff was gone he
took the bottle to the store and had it
filled again. The chap who filled it
this time was another chap, and when
the baldheaded man threw down dol
lar the druggist said, go, never mind.
We won't charge you anything for
that" The bald man asked how that
was, when the druggist said, "Why, it
is only salt and water, any way. The
salt is only two cents a pound, and the
water is pretty cheap this year. The
bald man gave one gasp, and said
swell, by the great bald-headed Elijah,
l paid dollar for filling that bottle be-
fore, and | want my money back. 1t
is bald-headed swindle. 1 thought
that Peruvian story didn't look plausi-
ble. The druggist gave the man a
box of cigars to keep still about it, but
he won't speak to the other druggist
who charged him a dollar.-Peek's
