A CRITIC reporter climbed up the numcr-
GUS winding stairs that lead from the rear
of the Police Headquarters to the domains
of Mr.. DE Schmedt, the District chemist, to-
day, and found the Professor engaged in an
investigation of the mysterious composition
of some of the icc-cream furnished to the
public. An inspector in the employ of the
Health Office was surprised by peculiar
flavor of some ice-cream which he was eat
ing on the 4th of July, and purchased u
sample and straightway sought the chem
lists Office to ascertain if the cream he had
been eating was healthy and genuine.
Other suspicious citizens have since followed
with other samples, the analysis of which
the chemist will duly report to the Health
Office. The CRITIC was informed that no
substance which was positively deleterious
to health had yet been found, but that there
were signs of uncleanliness and carelessness,
and some economical dealers used foreign
substances. BY way of explanation of the
Economy" it was found in the analysis, by
use of a powerful microscope that, instead OF
cream being used in the manufacture, sour
milk was employed and was thickened to
the consistency of cream by the mixture OF
melted tallow and lard. The report of the
analysis of each sample will be sent in
promptly, and some interesting develop
ments can be expected which will not prove
agreeable to icecream eaters.

Elephants From CexIon.

New York Herald, 9Th.
An elephantine trade on heavy scale is
announced as just springing up between
New York and the distant island of Ceylon-
that most lovely gem Of the India Ocean.
This Is the importation of the elcphds Indi-
Gus, three splendid specimens Of which are
now in Boston awaiting transportation
facilities to this city. These elephants,
which are claimed to be the largest of their
species that have ever been brought either
to Europe or America, reached Boston on
the steamer Hansa, consigned to Messrs.
Charles Reichc & Brother, of New York,
who brought them from their home In the
queen of the spice islands. They were
shipped from Ceylon to Hamburg, and thence
to London, where the Hansa received them.
They are reported to be all very large: but
the largest of the three is magnificent
fellow, ten feet in height at the shoulders
and twelve feet over all. The gigantic
brutes are quito tame, having long under
gone the reprcssive influences of n strict
training in Ceylon. SO docile arc they that
ut the word of command they will lie down
and raise huge foot for the keeper to
mount. Mr.. Frederick Ditzel who is
charged with the task of bringing these
monster quadrupcds from Boston here, says
that he may have to march them all the
way, as the railroad freight cars could not
carry them. Besides this, some of the
bridges are not sufficiently lofty to allow
the imposing strangers to pass under them.
Mr.. Ditzcl will try to get some steamer to
find standing room for them on her deck.
In this case the beasts would have to make
the difficult ocean passage outside of Cape
Cod. Each of the strangers is valued at
| $4,000, but 1t is to be understood that they
are not white elephants.

Temperance Drinks.

Rumsellers will laugh and temperance
men will grieve, or ought to, over the re-
port that eight persons have died and u
dozen times as many are dangerously ill,
they having drank alleged lemonade at IL
picnic This is not the first time that
lemonade has earned a bad reputation
Any one who has tasted the dreadful stuff
that is sold at fairs and other country en-
tcrtainmcnts will agree that if whisky is
as bad then whiskey is worse than they
ever imagined it to be. Any sort Of acid
and the commonest sugar seems good enough
for lemonade in the country, and the basis
of many saltwater syrups is no better; root
beer is as uncertain as hash, and many
other much-puffed temperance beverages
are equally doubtful. The weakness of the
public for drink that has taste of it's
own, which pure water has not is to blame
for great deal of the Stops and poisons
swallowed by temperance people. In
France the favorite beverage, aside from
wine, is eau sucre, which is merely sweet
ened water, and Americans, w'o are per-
petually thirsty, would do well to confne
themselves to this instead of letting their
stomachs be experimental upon by un-
scrupulous vendors of acids.

The storm Down the River.

The steamer Excelsior, on her afternoon
trip to Quantico, yesterday, encountered n
severe squall in Occoquan Bay, having
reached that place about 6:15 o'clock. The
squall came up very suddenly, but just US
quick were the officers and hands at their
posts, and in few seconds all was ready
for the blow. Several ladies were fright
cned and made sick, but otherwise no dam
age was done. The boat reached Quantico
with loss of II few minutes time, but in
good season to make connection with the
trains South.
The storm caught the steamer Arrow
smith three miles below Cedar Point. The
vessel was kept well out in the stream, the
engines slowed up and all proper precau-
tions taken TO withstand the storm, which
blew for fifteen minutes II perfect gale. AZ
ter the storm the steamer made the landing
at Cedar Point and proceeded to the city,
which she reached Mt IL o'clock, three hours
late. A number of the friends of those on
board were at the wharf to meet her.
A heavy storm of lightning, wind and
rain passed over Alexandria from the west
about o'clock.

an armed force to preserve the peace, and
who dare say that educated loyal soldiers

Stacy In a Washington letter to the Golden Rule.
Secretary Lincoln has taken away their
cigars from those dear little cadets at West
Point, and similar crueltyis meditated by

This action is determined from three years
observation of the action of tobacco in un-
fitting the boys for study and for duty.
Dear boys, it's hard. To take away his
cigar from cadet is like taking stick of
checkerberry from a baby. But never mind,

1t seems that the attempt to naturalize
camels in Texas and New Mexico was not,
after all, an utter failure. The camels used
for carrying freight across the California
desert did not, for some reason, prove profit
able, and they were turned loose. on the
ella and Salt River bottoms. There they
lived and bred, until now, it is said, they
roam the lower Gila plains in large num-

Guitcnu and Miss sweet.

About three years ago Guiteau got into
trouble ON account of q projected attack on
Miss Ada Sweet, United States Pension
Agent. He called on her and asked for en-
plOyment in the Pension Office, which she
refused to give him. whereupon he threat
ened to kill her. Before he could put his
threat into execution, if, indeed, he ever
really intended to do so, he was elected
from the Office in no very gentle manner.
Miss Sweets account of the affair is as fol-
lows:
about three years ago he made applica-
ton in person for position in the office.
He afterward called Mt the office one day
and said that he wanted to see me privately.
Previous to his second visit he sent long
letter to me, which / had not read at the
time or I should not have permitted him to
see me. In the letter he claimed to be q
lawyer, and said he was competent to fill
any position under the Government. 1t
was a crazy sort of letter. When he came
in had my back to him, and when I saw
him he looked tired and weary, and so
hopeless that / pitied him. explained to
him that had plenty of help. All the
time l was talking to him | noticed he
looked very peculiar, and was cndeavoring
to smile. When l refused to employ him,
he said: Perhaps you don't know who l
am He then went on to say he was some
great prophet, religious rcvivalist, or i'm
portant parsonage. did not pay much at
tcntion to what he said as saw he was
insane He then told me he was deter
mined to have position in my Office, and
said: If you don't give it to me you will
be sorry. / left him and passed into my
private Office, and the last words l heard
him say was that he had revolver. l did
not see the revolver, and do not know that
he attempted to use it. He was then taken
out of the office, and / never saw him again
nor received any more letters from him"
