Run,orcd Cabinet Chanoe,.

Advices from Washington bring
evidences of break in the Presidents cabinet
even at this early day. There is dissatisfaction
on the part Of Attorney General McVeigh, at
the appointment of VIM. E. Chandler to be
solicitor general, and hostility Of Postmaster
General James because of the appointment of
| of Judge Robertson as collector of the post of
New York. The hatred of Senator Conkling
to Judge Robertson is the cause of Postmas
ter James detection. Rumor has it that uu-
less the President should withdraw these
nominations that these two members of his
cabinet will certainly withdraw. Should the
stalwarts" succeed in gaining control of the
President and his appointments it will neces-
state thorough change in his cabinet at the
outset. The outcome is watched with much
solicitude. The President is determined to
stand by his nominations, and it is further
stated that if either Mcveigh or James should
tender their resignation, the President will not
hesitate in accepting them.

The grand breakup in the Missouri
river at Bismarck, occurred on March 80.
For several weeks the weather had been warm
and it was expected that when the rush did
come that the flood would be severe, and SO it
proved. The river rose ten feet in a few hours,
and the water gauge registered thirty feet
above low water mark. The three warehouses
on Bismarck landing were swept away and
arc q total wreck. The steamers Bachelor.

Secretary Kirkwood has succeeded
in effectually snuffing out the last feeble
twinkle of civil service reform in the Interior
Department, so long fostered by Mr.. Schurz.
The Secretary of the Interior, in an official
order, says that the farce of competitive
examinations should end. He would have no
more of them. Appointments will be made
in the usual way. When it is considered that
for each of the 100 clerkships in the Depart
ment there are about twenty applicants, it
will be seen that Secretary Kirkwood has a
big job on his hands. 'ts

No,srishn,ent by Absorption.

The most remarkable case of absti-
nence from food, is now in existencelat Battle
Creek, Michigan. Last October Mrs. Henry
Ingram had some teeth pulled. This brought
on nausea OF the stomach, and inability to re-
tain food. The woman is still alive, having
eaten nor drank nothing since October. She
is nourished by being bathed in beef tea, milk,
etc., which acts by absorption. The pores of
the skin absorb nearly a quart day from the
baths. She feels sort of hunger which is
soon allayed by bath, after which she feels
as if she had eaten. How much longer she
can live is problem. Her stomach is said to
be totally paralyzed. There seems to be no

ONE of the most recent and singular
manifestations of uniuue social energy
is found in the formation at Paris of
Post Mortem Examination Society,
whose members pledge themselves to
utilize their bodies after death for
the profit Of the semitic idea - by
leaving them to the anthropological
laboratory for examination, dissection.
or whatever other purposes may seem
fit. The results of the post-mortem
will be drawn up at the lowest price
for the family of the deceased. Every
member is expected to pay five francs
annually, in return for which his
autopsy will be performed free of
charge, provided he dies in Paris.
The prime object Of the Society is to
increase the value of post-mortem
examinations by offering subjects
whose character and personality are
known to the operator. 1t is supposed
that this knowledge will be especially
serviceable in respect to persons who
die of brain disease.

n Dakota DcLatgc.

The Missouri has at length broken
its icy letters, and its pent-up 1orce has been
hurled against the fran banks, which have
proven inadequate to resist the mighty rush
of waters, being too low to hold the moving
flood. The river opened at Fort Yates, March
"a, but little damage was done at that time.
On the 26th the river opened at Yanktnn, with
no damage being done. But the disaster was
reserved for Pierre, the present western ter
minus of the Dakota division of the North
western Railroad. On March %, the ice broke
at this place, and within an hour the water
had risen to a level with the streets, and a
mighty, resistless flood was swept through
the streets, carrying with it huge fields of ice,
and doing considerable damage to the build
ings of the place. The town was entirely
deserted, the inhabitants seeking safety on the
bluffs. The flood subsidized after being on the
rampage for about twelve hours. The water
crowded the ice on the banks into Fort Pierre,
and left it standing like wall along the river
bank-a monument of its strength over twelve
feet high eAll houses along and close to the
river bank were crushed like a shell under the
weight of accumulated ice. No casualties are
reported, as the flood came on the people early
in the day.
