Nc Rae Adrnntnqes I'd smoke.

Instead of being detrimental to
| health the smoke that has been in the
air the last few days is really benefi-
ciaL The more one breathes of ii the
better, up to a respectable point. The
creosote which has been taken into
the lungs and through them carried
into the blood since the murky stream
set in is as good as a course of treat
ment by a physician. People who
had tOOthache a week ago ought to be
over their trouble by this time. Gre
Osate, as its name implies, is a preser-
yer of flesh. 1t is by virtue of tins
property that smoke preserves hams
and other meats that are subjected TO
its influence. If the weather of the
last few DAYS should continue long
enough, the people now living would
stand a chance of being preserved as
the mummies that have just been dis
covered in Egypt. CreOsOte forms the
base of a very large part of the medi-
cine which people take when the doc
tor prescTibes for them. It is good for
hemOrrhage, diarrhRa, cholera NOR
bus, cholera infantum, nausea, vOnit-
ing, tOOthache and a variety of other
ailments. No one can say that the
visitation of smoke at this time is not
intended for an antidOte for some dis
ease that would be disastrous. 1t may
save many people from cholera NOR
bus brought on by over-eating water
melons and half-ripened fruit. Chill
dren especially might with beneficial
effect be kept out of doors while the
smok lasts.-Ei3HiTG Register.

The first house ever built in Edge

There have been large number OF appli-
cations at the White House for the with
drawaI of papers by otfce-seekers who had
filed them for the consideration O; Garfield.
Three or four clerks were busy to-day in
hunting these papers out Of the pigeon-holes-
They viii all be ed, it is presumed,
directed to President Arthur.
The rumor IN circulation that a plot to
assassnate President Arthur had been dis
covered arose from the sworn statement
filed in the police department by man
named Bailey, an attache of the Army Ned
ical Museum of the Surgeon-GeneraFs
Department, TO the effect that while lying
i'm bed at his room in house No. y6f Mis-
souri, avenue, Monday night, he heard two
men talking in front of the house of a plot
for the assassination of President Arthur
One asked the other if he would swear tC
do ii, and the other answered that he would
kill him within a month. Bailey says he
saw the men as they talked, and can fully
recognize them. No arrests have bee
made,

Dorsey on the Cabinet.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat, Of
the 29th, has the annexed special dis
patch from Kansas City:
Ex-senator Dorsey was in the city
to-day, having just arrived from his
cattle rancho near Trinidad. In speak
ing Of President Arthur's position he
said:
"Of course Arthur will make some
natural to suppose that, almost the
he would want a Cabinet of hfs own
selection around him."
"Will Conkling have a Cabinet
position 2"
Il do not think he would accept
one
EWill ne not have considerable in
fluence in the Administration? 2"
GAS much as the intimate and life
long friend of the President would
naturally have. 1t is unreasonable to
suppose that Mr.. Arthur will break
from his f rmer friends just because
he has become President. He and
Mr.. COnklimg have been warm friends
for many years. Mr.. Arthur Is un-
der the mans thumb, and will not be
influenced contrary to his own ideas
by any man. L do not think Mr.. Ar
thur will make any change at the
special session of the Senate. / think
nothing further will be done at that
session than to elect a President OF
the Senate.

desire to question or to doubt it. Mr.
VennOP has, we are also informed,
written very admirable and exhaus-
tive work, entitled, "Our Birds of
Prey" which has been received with
favor not only in his own country, but
in Europe. This work, unfortunate
ly, we have not seen, as all that has

One can scarcely arise from peru
sal of this almanac, however, withou'
having perceived that Mr.. Vennor has
fought shy of his Calendar; not hav-
ing committed himself in it 20 the pre-
dictiOn of any specific sort of weather
for any day or three days or week
from the first to the last hour of the
year. True, he has generaliZed a re-
latiOn TO each month, and supplied the
place of more pertinent information
in the Calendar with quaint Saxon
proverbs, and miscellaneous extracts
embOdying the opinion of others but
not a sentence in the usual legitimate
manner from his own pen. This is
to be regretted, although he may. to
some extent, congratulate himself on
the omission; as, certainly. his prs-
dictiOn that the month of June was
likely ''tO prove warm, even hot and
dry up to about the 10th or 18th days."

meridian and latitude at least, it being
asserted broadly by that infallible
authority, "the eldest inhabitant," B" that
no such gloomy, cold and rainy wealth
er had characterized the first twelve

thirty-five years.-AI6GRy ". Y. Ar-

A Galreston COTTON Question.

Galveston NeCS: For several days
past cotton men have been interested
in two or three suits for damages that
have been filed by shippers against
factors. The actions are brought un-
der law passed in 1860, which pro-
vides that upon the sale of any cotton,
sugar, produce or merchandise con-
signed for sale to any facter or COM
mission merchant, it shall be his duty,
within a reasonable time thereafter,
20 render to the owner or consignor
thereof a complete account of sales
thereof, which shall state the date Of
the sale, the nature of the purchase,
tie terms Of sale, and, if cotton, sugar,
or other produce sold by weight, tie
weight of the same in gross, and the
tare allowed, and be accompanied by
the certificate or memorandum, singed
by the weigher who weighed tile
same, of the weight and condition as
required by law, uHder the penalty
of not more than $500 or less than
800. The annoyance 70 which factors
may be subjected by querulous, quar-
reIsome and irresponsible parties who
may force litigation and consequent
costs, is about all the danger that is
feared from the suits.

Train Robbers Caught.

robbed a train on the Iron Mountain
road last Thursday night have been
captured-One near Sulphur Bluff,
Hampton county, Texas, and the 9TH
er two in the Indian Nation. The
pursuit has been vigorously followed
up by Captain Clark Hall, conductor
on the Iron Mountain railroad, who fol-
lowed the robbers with posse TO the
village of Ben LOmOnd, Sewer county.
Here the robbers separated, one going
into Texas and the other two into the
Indian Territory. The pursuing par
ty divided and kept trace, Captain
Hall following the Texas bound rob-
ber. His efforts were rewarded by
coming up with him early yesterday
morning, when the rObber was TAX
ing breakfast. Hall pulled down on
him with a double-barreled shotgun.
The robber surrendered, saying, "If
you had given me one minutes notice
1 would have given you lively deal"

lowed into the Indian Territory and
captured with but little trouble. All
three were brought to Hope tonight
and lodged in jail. There is no doubt
that they are the right parties, as they

Mr.. WILLIAM ARMSTRONG, the At
tcrney-Gcneral of King Kalakaua, of
the Hawaiian Islands, says that the
native element of the island is dying
out, and that one object Of the Kings
travels throughout the world is to Sc
cure other people TO take the place of
the natives. Neither Englishmen nor
Americans are looked for, because the
opinion of the King and his legal al
visers is that they are not physically
fitted to endure the tropical climate
a strong objection, however, so far at
least as Americans are concerned, is
that they would not be long in the
country in any considerable force be-
fore they would want to run it after
their own fashion. 1t is said that of
all the men who have been examined
as to their qualifications, the Portu-
guese settlers in the Azores seem to
be the most satisfactory. Fifteen hun

The New York Times editoriallv
declares that ''the discussion of the
possibilities of a Republican organi-
zation Of the Senate at its special
session is superGuous, if law and pre-
cedenta are of binding force" On the
same subject, the New York WorId
suggests that it "would be a graceful
act of the members of the Republican
minority in the Senate, and would
testify their sense of the unpreredemt-
ed unanimity Of public sentiment de-
Veloped by the murder of the Presi-
dent, if they would for once sink

for the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency of the Senate"

THE Washington correspondent of
the New York Times SAYS that the pre-
vailing opinion among President Ar
thurs most intimate friends is that
there will be a general change in the
Cabinet portfolios within sixty days.
II is said that Ex-Governor Morgan,
of New York, is certain to be offered
the Secretaryship of the Treasury and
General Grant the Secretaryship of
War. Ii is thought that Governor
Morgan will accept, but Gen. Grant
will decline. In the event of General
Grants declination, Mr.. Lincoln will
be retained The other Cabinet Off
GERS will all have to 90, though Mr..
Blaine can succeed Mr.. Lowell as Min
lister TO England, if he wishes it.
These speculations may prove wholly
erroneous; but in the event of their
proving true in part, it is difficult to
see how Secretary Lincoln can, with
any self-respect, remain in a Cabinet
from which his late associates are ex.
cluded, and in which he is only toler-
ated OH suflerance, because the man
wanted will not accept.
