MacVeagh's retirement from the cabinet
still occasions more or less gossip. There is
something queer about the matter but what
it is is kept secret. 1t is asserted to-day
that the president has not accepted MacVeagh's
resignation, although it was stated a day or
two since that he had The story is that Mac
Veagh has simply thrown up the portfolio. 1t
looks very much as though some of the star
route counsel and agents for the government
had got to quarreling among themselves, and
the impression certainly grows every day that
MacNeagh has gone because he discovered
that the prosecutions would amount to moth
ing, and the president desired him to stay and
see the cases through

The school district comprising the West
village held special meeting last Friday
evening to decide upon plan for the new
school house. Owing to an inadvertenoy in
giving the notice, the attendance was com
paratively small, and on account of lack of
facilities for exhibiting the plans they could
not be well understood. The one adopted
seems upon mature consideration of many of
the voters to be quite faulty, and the desire
Is expressed that correction may in some way

Some idea of the size of the pension list
may be gained from the fact that it now re-
quires more than one-fourth of the entire rev.
enue of the government to pay it annually.
The revenues of the government have been
running at about $3.50, 600, 600, and the call of
the commissioner of pensions this year is for
a deficiency of some 500, 900, 900 for the re-
mainder of this year, and 800, OOO,O 600 for
next year.

The report of the military commission sent
to investigate the conduct of the Massachu-
sets Ninth regiment on the Yorktown excur-
sion has been made public. The commission
ers find that some of the charges against the
regiment have been exaggerated, and no Sc
rious misconduct could be proved against its
members outside the city of Richmond The
charges of insulting and outrageous conduct
while in Richmond are fully sustained, a
comparatively few individuals probably hav-
ing been guilty of the greater part of the bad
conduct. Gov. Long has ordered Col
Strachan to report the names of the guilty
men to him within thirty days. Failing such
report, the entire regiment will be held
strictly responsible for the reported miscon-
duct and will be liable to such action as the

1t will be remembered that Baldwin, the
defaulting cashier of the broken Newark
bank, protested at the outset that he had not
speculated in Wall street, but that it was the
cruel and memorable concern of Nugent q
Co. which ''got rope around his neck" and
compelled him to steal the pretty sum of So
100000. The first step in the legal investi-
cation, however, shows that Baldwin had
large dealings in Wall street in his own name,
in his wifes name, and probably in the name
of his half-brother, who was the paying teller
of the bank. Baldwin would sometimes send
to these brokers $4,000 by messenger for
margins on stocks, and had $40, 900 in mar
gins at one time. The stockholders of the
ruined bank have been assessed 100 per cent.

Quite a little sensation was created In
this place on "Wednesday evening last by
an attempted elopement Of Miss Ida Wom'
ack, Of Spring Hill Station, with one John
Wilson, of Butte. 1t appears that for some
time past, Wilson has been making strenu'
on. efforts to abduct Miss Wo,nack from
her home and kind parents with the inten.
tion OF marrying her, but upon every at
tempt he has been foiled in his scheme.
On one. occasion Wilson was abstorted
out Of Spring Hill BY the irate father, and
forbid ever seeing his daughter again. Will
son then went to Butte, where he has been
for some time engaged with minstrel
outfit, and on Friday last, came to this city
with the troupe, and appeared as middle
man Tn Saturday and Monday nights.
During this time he had contrived In some
way to make arrangements with the girl
that she .hould meet him at this place on
Tuesday evenings passenger train. The
young lady managed to get on board the
train at Spring Hill without being detected
BY her parents, but had not proceedsd far
on her journey until her absence from the
house aroused suspicious that she had gone
off on the north bound passenger, which
facts we're soon ascertaincd 10 be too true.
Sheriff Micus was ut once telegraphed at
this place to arrest her ~ soon ~ she ar.
rived, and also to arrest Wilson. The ar
rest Of the latter was soon effected and the
prisoner securely locked In the city Jail.
The Sheriff then went to the depot and
awaited the incoming train, which arrived
here ut 6:4o M. When the train stopped,
the young lady alighted on the opposite
side from the depot, and, as she WIS bare.
headed, she attracted the attention of the
Sheriff, who followed her to the Valley
House where he arrested her, and held her
in custody until the next morning, when
she was returned to her hcart.stricken par.

There is form Of nervousness that
leads man to suppose himself seriously
i'll. when, in reality, he is more nervous
than usual. He flies to a ply sician for
relief, and often ends by persuading
himself into severe illness. The fact
is, nervous people waste a good deal OF
money, confidence and worry on their
ne1vousn, SIS tits perhaps disagreeable
to very uncomely people that they are
not beautiful adult intelligent people
of defective education lament the dis.
advantages OF their youth persons who
desire TO be religious, and yet are intel
lectually skeptical, are frequently made
miserable by the conviction that they
are incapable of acquiring piety. A man
with Roman nose may as well bewaii
his incapacity to change his organ into
Grecian outline as tor nervous people to
lament that they cannot discharge
nervousness from their physical oreani-
zation. 1t cannot be expelled. 1t is
there to stay. But self-control and
self-restraint will do much toward
obviating the evil, and are more eflica.
cious than the attendance Of any ply.
