OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 80, 1881.
William A. Cooke, employed by the Govern
ment in preparing cases against alleged star
route Offenders has been in practice here for
about seventeen years, having came here from
Pennsylvania during the war. He has held
several offices in the line of his profession, and
as q lawyer is perhaps the most successful
member of the District bar in the class of cases
he pays greatest attention to. For some
reason or otherSgood or bad, many members
of the bar and other citizens have come to
consider him tricky-a fact which mention
because report was spread around last night
that he had been surprised in secret conference
with friends of Brady, Dorsey, and others of
the suspected parties. My own acquaintance
with Mr.. Cooke, which is both long and inti-
mate, makes me certain that he will act wholly
and conscentiously in the interest of the
government. but at the same time he will not
advise prosecution in any case unless reason
ably sure that it will result in conviction.
There were bets here this morning-a Wash
ingtonian will bet on any subject under the
sun-that neither Brady nor Dorsey would
be indicted. The latter, by the way, is repre-
sented as being in Strengthened circumstances,
financially. Brady is millionaire.
1t is now said that a mixed delegation of
Republicans will come up from Virginia to
give their views of State affairs to the Presi-
dent. What benefit will accrue from this plan
IL is hard to see. There is a certainty that the
President will take no part at all in the State
election. He states freely his opinion that it
would be improper for him to do so. That he
is deeply interested in the progress of political
affairs in that and other Southern States is
true, however.
The fact that Secretary Blaine and other
members of the Cabinet win be absent for
considerable time after the first of July
strengthens the belief, mentioned In previous
letter, that all the Department changes to bs

Fresh Water Sea Lions.

The Cincinnati Star says: The sea
lions, including the baby born last week
are doing well. Mr.. Thompson said the
mother would die, as mothers on two
other occasions did, but now that a
week has gone by and she is getting
stronger all the time, Mr.. Thompson
thinks all danger of losing either one is
past. The sex Of the baby is not known,
as the mother will allow no one to
approach it, These sea lions are the
only ones that have ever been reared in
fresh wafer. In Europe the custom is
to rear them in salt water.

AHOu Saves a Chlld's Life.

The Herald gives the following On
Wednesday last as the Mont Alto train
under charge of conductor Samuel Horn
was coming down the heavy grade at
Pond Bank, the engineer noticed little
child trying to drive wayward hog
from the track. The whistle was sound
ed and the brakes pulled with all the
energy of men trying to save an inno-
cent life. Just as the engine was on the
point of striking the child, the hog
dashed off the line carrying the child
with it and the train rolled by. All
hands drew long breath of congratula-
ton and passed vote of thanks to the
porker for its timely action.

Child, Pony and RattIesnake.

A few day ago little son of Mr.. f. b.
Taylor was playing in the yard in the
rear of his fathers residence at Month
cello, (Fla) and suddenly exclaimed ::
"Oh, papa, look at the pretty snake !"
Mr.. Taylor rushed to the door, but II
pony near by was more prompt, for
observing the reptile within few feet of
the child it made leap and came down
upon the snake, striking it with one of
its hoofs just back of the head and kill
ing it instantly. 1t was a large rattle
snake and it is possible the pony saved
the child's life.

Painful and Dangerous Accident.

Mrs. Harry Lingafelt, of Holidays
burg, daughter Of Ex Sheriff James Stiff
fier, while visiting at her fathers house,
near Eldorado, was stung in the wrist,
by ''snake feeder" or dragon fly on
Tuesday last. The sting caused her arm
to swell up Immediately, and soon the
swelling spread all over her body. Her
friends, becoming alarmed, DIR. G. w.
Smith, of Hollidaysburg, was sent for
and on his arrival proper antidotes were
administered, resulting in the reduction
of the swelling, and alleviating the lady 8
suffering. At this writing Mrs. Linga-
felt is recovering from the effects of the
sting.
This is said to be the first case of the
kind to have ever come under the notice
of the medical profession, and is regarded
as a remarkable case. 1t is thought
from the rapidity with which the swell
ing spread, that the sting of the insect,
which is poisonous, must have penetra-
ted through vein, thus injecting the
poison directly into the blood, which by
that means was distributed throughout
the entire system. -AHoond Tribune.

eg~About ten days ago Joseph Gile,
principal of a school in the insurance
building, in New Haven, after kindling
fire in a stove in his room at the Madi-
son House, missed from its setting in a
ring diamond valued at $1O0. So posi-
tive was he that the precious stone had
been lost in the stove that he in-
stituted faithful search, employing
colored boy to carefully look over
the ashes and Goals after the fire was ex-
tinguished. The sweepings of the room
were also saved and searched. The
young man spent four days in the room
searching for the diamond. While sift-
ing the ashes from the stove through a
flour sitter, Thursday evening, about
halfpast o'clock, his eyes were glad
dened by the CLEAN of the gem in the
declining sunlight.

GB Clara Belle writes: Barefooted
bellies are seriously promised for next
summer at the seaside resort. The
Princess Beatrice slipper, of beaded
satin, dainty and delicate, and shaped
like sandal is intended to be worn
without stockings. But the idea will
fail in practice, and I'll tell you why.
Not one woman in ten has feet that will
bear barring. They may be small and
shapely, andjook fine in stockings, but
without covering they would reveal a
corn here, bunion there, toes over
tapping each other, scars of ingrowing
nails, and other blemishes. No, the
promise of barefooted bellies will not be
fulfilled.

while the price they will be sold at, is no

themselves should see these nets and

THE storm which passed over Wash
ington on Monday night did grea
damage in that city and vicinity. Many
roofs were blown off, chimneys were
blown down and trees were uprooted.
The sewers burst in some places, the gas
weat out in portion of the city, and
much alarm was occasioned. A portion
of the roof of the opera house was taken
off while the performance was proceed
ing, creating intense confusion and
terror in the audience. A panic, how
ever, was averted, although many ladies
were drenched and some were injured
by broken glass. The house formerly
occupied by General Grant was unroofed,
as was the one now owned by him. The
house of General Williamson, ex-com-
missioner of the land office, was unroof-
ed and flooded, and his family were
obliged TO seek refuge elsewhere.
