WITH reference to the Garfield fund, origin
ated by the New York chamber of commerce.
Cyrus W. Field said, recently: eff the Presi-
dent should die, the whole of the $3.50, 600
which was proposed to be subscribed for Mrs.
Garfield and family would be forthcoming.
About two-thirds of the amount is already
pledged, and the remaining third could be

should survive, Mr.. Field does not intend to
abandon the plan of securing the full $3.50, 900,
as it is well known large sum of money will
be needed to pay the doctors bills and other
heavy expenses attending a long, serious i'll

compliments and the information that he had
named it the Victoria brand, conf IDENTIFY ex-

Sometime ago Miss Mary Mcmahon, of Dubu-

and was taken to the asylum at Independence.
Her mother visited her at the asylum and was
stricken with insanity. On the goth ult. the
young lady died, and on the 31st ult. the moth

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, having become dis
satisfied with Northern California is moving
for secession SO that it may set up as a separ-
ate state, and to this end a convention has been
called to meet in Los Angeles and prepare the
way for it, The proposition is a somewhat
novel one, but exceedingly impractical, for if
every part of a state which is dissatisfied with
every other part of a state should amputate it.
self from the rest the number of states in the
union would soon become alarmingIy large.

A RascaIIy Partner.

A thorough investigation of the Musgrave
ALPACA Company's affairs at Chicopee shows
that Runaway Musgrave has swindled his part
ners, Anderton and Dunn out of more than
100000. The total losses of the firm through
his transactions, will amount to 1925, ZOO. No
traces of his whereabouts have yet been dis
covered. His victimized partners say they will
glveup every dollar they possess to meet the de-
mands of their creditors. The blow comes hard
on Anderton who is over 60 years of age.

EVEN in countries where tea is the national
beverage great preiudices has existed and does
in measure still exist against it as being in
furious to the health. The japanese doctors
attribute consumption and all diseases of the

objected to using green tea at all, and early
writer's attributed the acute and tricky DISPOSE
ton of the Chinese to its use.

BUTTERMILK, a beverage which is becoming
quite fashionable III some of our large cities, is
not sufficiently appreciated in the country,
where 1t can be had at its best. Its medical
properties can scarcely be overrated. 1t is
excellent for dyspepticS, for nervous people and
Tor those who are troubled with sleepleSsness.
OF course there are many people who, not liking
1t, would perhaps be unable to acquire taste
for it, but for those who like it there is no sum-
mer drink more wholesome.

A coLoRED postmaster in South Carolina re-
Gently sent long petition to the department,
praying to be relieved from Sunday work. He
stated that his objections did not arise from
iaziness or aversion to the work itself. but that
his religious scruples forbade any kind of labor
on the Sabbath. He was informed by the de-
partment that his only remedy lay in a reSigna-
ton of his Office, and since then nothing more
has been heard from him.
