WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, ID. O., June II, Isl.
The President is kinder to Sunday
School children-much kinder-than
to Virginia Read juster Democrats.
Delegations Of bot h have visited him
of late, and there was a great deal of
difference in his treatment of them.
lie was cordial and KIDD to the child
reu, perhaps, because he knew they
were pure and honest, and short and
unkin6 to the Readjusters-th dis
turbers of Democracy-because he
knew they we're not honest. Whether
the President is or is not himself a
thoroughly honest nan, he is too good
politician TO commit himself in
conversation with a discredltabls fac
tion Of the Democratic party. Follow
ing up this liAo of action he yester-
day advised a Republican delegation
from Virginia to maintain their or
ganization in that State.
The President, by t. way, was
yesterday injuriously connected with
an attempt to bribe New York legis-
lator to vote against Conkling-that
is, evidence TO that effect was given at
Albany. While there is little d6ebt
that the attempt TO 5ribe was made,
there is Also no doubt,-or very little
that the attempt was made without
the knowledge of the President. Tie
mere fact that John /. Davenport
made the offer, and that only his word
connects the President with it, is Suf-
ficient TO acquit the President. This
licensed ViolatOr Of the right Of suf-
frage-this off :ial bTlldcz Ar-has been
denounced as he deserved by Dem
ccrats, and defended by Republicans.
1t is unfortunate for the President
that Davenport is an administration
man, but 1t is not fair to attribute to
tine President all the villainies of which
Davenport may have been guilty.
The report of the Treasury Investi-
eating Committee which Secretary
Window refuses to give out, is, it
should be said in justice to that gen
tleman, only a preliminary one. The
Secretary will not Yithold the full re-
port of the Committee, when n ade,
though it should impllcate the highest
officials in tie land. r. is understood
that several Treasury removals viii be
made during the month.
Commissioner Benriey of TIE Pen
sion Office was requested to resign on
Thursday, and d so. His successor
is Col. Dudley, now Marshal of the
State of Indiana. Mr.. Bentley was in
some resNotts an efficient officer, but
Congressman and other people general
~ had learned to believe that be was
governed too much by impracticable
ideas as to the management of his
Bureau, and his suggestions for the
last few years were unheeded by Con-
gress. His usefulness was gone. 1t
will require at least 100000, 900 to
pay pension next year, and more the
year after, aud the President felt tha!
so vast an Office should be under the
control Of some one in whom both he
and Congress could place free reliance.

Terrible Cyclones in ths West.

Sunday the 18th inst, was again a
terrible day for storms in Missouri and
MINNESOTA. That in Missouri, of
which we give the account here, was
perhaps the sevarest and most de-
structive to life and property:
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 14.-Sunday
was terriyl day for cyclones in north.
eastern Missouri. The atmospheric
pressure was very great + etween and
in the afternoon, and during that
one short hour no less than three
''twisters" dealt death and destrustlOn
in as many paths. The first tn 1t came
to the knowledge of the Herald was
from King City and vicinity. This
cyclone started near cavannGh, in
Andrew county. It couIae was north.
ease, through Flag Springs and King
City. Many houses were destroyed and
not less than twelve lives lost in
Andrew county. At Flag Springs and
King City the destruction was much
greater, the loss of life in that vicini-
ty being probably h'tV. The public
school building in King City, q large
brick structure, was raZed to the
ground. Hundreds OF horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep were killed, one man
losing eighty cattle, another sixty
sheep and another seven horses. An
other cyclone started four miles south
west of R0sedale, Andrew county. and
passed eastward one mile souJi, Of
Rosedale. The course OF all the above
cyclones was east by northeast. An
other started eight miles northW est of
Hopkins, in Nodaway county, lis
course for twelve miles being south
east. 1t was one-quarter of a mile
wide, and nothing escaped destruction
in It's track. Many lives have been
lost in all of these cyclones, and the
destruction to property, which cannot
now be estimated, was very great.

After much delay the Supreme Court
Of Pennsylvania has at last decided
that che capital stock of building as.
sociations must be taxed under the
law the same as other corporations.
1t may he that technically speaking
the court could not conclude other
wise as our laws now stand, but at
the same time the obnoxious decision
proves that neither the Legislature nor
the court understand the object, spirit
and scope of building associations,
which is but another name for saving
banAs of the poor. OF course there is
low no appea from the decision of our
court OF last resort, but we hope that
Immediate steps will be taken to lift
the unjust burden by proper legislation
as soon as it can ba obtained.

The Trout Liar.

ssThere is no place on the Continent
that will compare with ST. Andrews for
trout, nor is there any man who can
take them as do.''
s'How many did you catch?" asked
her little serene highness.
And the Jester stood up in the pres
ence of the court and laid his hand upon
his heart and said, with solemn enthu-
siasm:
"Six. Six large ones. The biggest
of the seven will turn the scale at four
pounds. Two took with flies, five with
worms, and the big six-pounder I saw
down by the big red rock, and plunged
in, run him down and kicked him to
death. Then had two big ones, bigger
than any l have here, clear out of the
water, and they got away. After I
caught abou. dozen on the east side of
the lake, went over to the dead tree
by our old camp, and the first cast 1
made hooked a pine log as big as
trout. You never saw anything so
gamey. Had to let it go. Then, just
before we came away, cast for a big
fellow, and got him. He stood straight
up in the water and fought for the belt.
He broke my casting line, got away with
the hook, stuck his head out of the
water and swore at me, and sassed
Gardner, and threw stones at us, and
said he could swim away with any man
that ever tangled a trout line around a
fir tree, and at last swan out to the
island, climbed up on big gray rock
and worked the hook out of his jaw,
looked at it, snorted at it and held it off
at arms length with his fin, and said if
he couldn't gnaw better fly than that
out of yellow blanket, in the dark, he'd
never help another man to an after
moons sport Then he called half
dozen younger trout around him and
showed them the fly. There he said,
Il don't know what this is; reckon
those fellows on the bank used it for a
fly, but if you ever happen to see any
thing like this on the water, pull the
man at the other end of the line into the
lake and drown him. Saying which
he stuck the hook into a log and went
below, and just gathered up my TWEEN
ty-two trouts and came home. That's
the kind of lone fisherman 1 am
eThere is nothing Gardner re-
marked, 'sthat will so thoroughly initiate
a man into full and active membership
of the order of trout liars rs the simple
fact of his catching half dozen trout
himself. He has then the grip, pass
word, sign, countersign, parole, regalia,
and full set of third-degree jewelry, and
is entitled to a front seat in the water
haul.'
1t is very remarkable-indeed, it is a
question that the student of moral econ
omy may ponder over a very long time
| without arriving at any very definite
conclusion-whyt the best of men can
toll ha oh nd 10
they can, why they do not .-Haackeye.

Catching Bass in a Hammock.

On Wednesday and Thursday eve
nings of last week there was a curious
scene witnessed on Conesus Lake. NJ.
L. Forsyth and his family, and Edward
Butterway and his sister, were staying
at Walton, and on Wednesday evening
some of the party placed a lamp with a
reflector on the bow of a boat, for the
novelty and convenience of having a
lamp while rowing, and were amazed
by the curious antics of the bass and
pickerel, which commenced jumping all
around them. and one two-pound black
bass actually jumped into the boat. On
the next evening the experiment was
renewed, and a hammock fastened to a
pole, into which four large bass jumped,
one weighing four pounds. Those who
witnessed the novel exhibition were
greatly excited. Large pickerel and
bass leaped fully six feet from the wa
ter, and skinned II distance of rod
before disappearing. They came up in
all directions, some of them striking vi
olently the bottom and sides Of The boat,
and some being at distance OF ID several
rods.-Liuiagston IN. y Rep"blicosA

one Of the most important Developments

A GRAND STEEPLE CHASE.

As IL there were not sufficient excitement
at the usual horse-racc, these meetings on
the turf nearly always close with grano
steeple chase. This kind OF race combines
all the excitement of the regular race, with
the super-added element of danger which
seems to give further zest Ia the sport
Horses, and good ones at that, often receive
severe injuries, which render them pracn.
cally useless for long periods. AT least
this was the state of affairs until owners
and breeders of fine stock began to freely
use ST. JACOBS OIL, the Great German
Remedy for man and beast. This invalu-
able article to horsemen has so grown INTO
favor on account of its phenomenal efficacy
in diseases of domestic animals, especially
the horse, that it would be difficult indeed
TO discover horsenen unacqnainted with
its magical potency. The Philadelphia

Cats Of History.

SIR: Haviag just read with delight
and edifcation the account OF ''Martin,"
in your issue of to-day an account
worthy of place in that most charming
of all books ever dedicated by great
writer to the honor and glory of be-
loved animals, the "Menagerie Intime"
of Theophile Gautier-I send you two
stories, as they were told to my boy
hood, of cats connected with my own
fanily---in which, [ may add, cat wor-
ship has been for centuries hereditary
legacy. One, when its master was lying
wounded well nigh to death, watched
for many days and nights at the door OF
his room; would not be lured or driven
away, till at last it was possible for the
convalescent to receive his faithful and
inconsolable friend, whose ecstacy may,
or may not, be imagined. So much
for the charge of personal Indifference
brought against cats by those who prefer
the promlscuous and Obtrusive caresses
or solicitations lavished by dogs on al
most any stranger, to the choice and
constant affection which cats, with the
instinct peculiar to babies and them
selves, reserve with such scrupulous
self-respect for those in whom they
recognize a true reciprocal attraction
an unmistakable innate affinity.
My second story illustrates only that
attachment to places which is more
commonly recognized as a feline prop
erty, but illustrates it in so singular a
degree that it may, perhaps, be thought
worthy of this passing record. A fav
orite cat---I know not whether the same
was the hero or heroine of the story just
given---was conveyed to London from a
country house in the depth of Northum-
l,arland, and missed Immediately after
arrival. About week afterward it ar
rived at its old home, half starved, and
wholly fallen from his high estate as a
cat of quality and distinction, but re-
cognizable by the household left in
charge, having. smelt or inquired its way
back on foot along course of some 800
miles, which it had just before traversed
in carriage for the first time. 1 am,
| sir, ETC., A. G. SwINBURNE.
Mr.. Swinburne's positive testimony
we accept with pleasure. His implied
universal negative on the discrimination
of dogs we reject with surprise and
| amusement 1---SDPcf0tOr

Marvellous Adventures OF q Legislator
Among Indians.

Hon. Sol Barth, of St. John, Arizona
Territory, arrived in the city Monday.
To journal reporter he gave the fol-
lowing particulars of his exciting and
romantic adventures with the Apache
Indians on the road: St. John is about
fifty miles south of the A. & B. Road.
Sol Barth is a noted ranchman in that
region, having stores, focks and horses.
He is Territorial Senator, and quite
prominent in the political affairs of the
Territory. Once in three months he
comes to this city and buys a stock of
goods. Last week, accompanied by two
men, he started over the long route from
St. John to civilization. When passing
through lonely canyon in the Zuni
Mountains, he was atonished to see a
band of Indians circling around pyra-
mid rock, yelling and firing their guns.
Upon the top of the rock was Mexican
mountaineer, with his wife and chill
dren. No sooner did Sol take in the sit
uation than he charged the Indians, put
ting the squad, eighteen in number, to
flight, relieving the Mexican and his
family from certain death. He found
the little children crying for water, but
otherwise the family were uninjured.
Escorting the family to a place of safety
and leaving one of his men to repel any
attack the Indians might make, Mr..
Barth, with one assistant, pushed on
toward the city. They had gone but a
few miles when they were confronted by
band of Indians, but, their actions
seeming peaceful, Barth thought them
friendly Navajos, and allowed them to
come within speaking distance of the
buggy in which he and his companion
were riding, when the Indians suddenly
opened fire, mortally wounding his com
panion. The horse became frightened
and overturned the buggy. MIR. Barth
seized his Winchester, and, protected
by the buggy-bed, he drove off his as
sailants, capturing one of the Indian
ponies. Securing the pony and putting
his wounded companion in the buggy he
drove on. When near the Mexican
town of Ell Rita he heard firing, and on
approaching the town the Indians re-
turned and attacked him. The people
of the town turned out and soon the
Indians were driven off. At Ell Rita the
wounded man died.-AlbuQuerQue en-.

Our Young Folks.
CARLO, JANE AND ME.

Whenever papa takes a walk,
He always calls us three:
He says he couldn't go without
Old Carlo, Jane and me.
We laugh and talk, and bark and play,
And papa swings his cane;
Once he forgot and killed some flowers,
That stood up in our lane.
And sometimes Carlo runs and Jumps,
And Jane stands by a tree
Oh dear! what fun my papa has,
With Carlo, Jane and me!
And, just for mischief. Carlo barks
At every one we pass;
And makes the shadow of his tail
Keep Vaughn on the grass.
When Jane can't walk, 1 carry her,
And Carlo carries me;
Then papa always walks beside,
And shouts out "Haw!' and "Geev
wish he'd come; poor Jane is tired,
With waiting here so long:
Carlo don't mInd-no moro do /,
But Jane was never strong.
Carlo is made of curly hair,
And L am made of me:
But Jane is made of wOJd and things,
AS dOllies have to be.
Oh, here he is, Now for our walk;
He's sure to take US three:
For papa couldn't go without
Old Carlo, Jane and me-
