THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Furnishing the Postal Thieves.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-EX-Senator Dorsey
will be the next OF the members of the star
route ring TO be arraigned in court for trial
after Brady's case is disposed of. Special At
torneys Cook, Gibson and Bliss have the papers
in Dorsey's case prepared, and proceedings
will be instituted as quickly as possible. The
proceedings in Dorsey's case will be different
from those adopted to reach Brauy. District
Attorney Corkhill has informed the govern
ment counsel that the grand jury will be at
their disposal in about three weeks. Then
Guiteau's case and the ordinary Jail cases will
be out of the way and an Indictment
against Dorsey will be requested in the
usual form. The prosecutors believe that
they have ample evidence upon which not only
to secure indictments but convictions Other
persons Will necessarily be associated with
Dorsey in the action for conspiracy, Brady
among them; but in each OF the cases the
counsel for the government will make the is
sue as narrow as possible and avoid all lateral
questions. There has been considerable COM
ment upon heSprocedure adopted in Brady's
case. 1t has not been the practice in the dis
trict courts to proceed against suspected per-
sons by information, and the cumbersome
grand jury system has generally been in vogue
here. #@ g.
WARRANTS WERE ISSUED @
to-day against Brady, Turner, French, Brown
and McDonough Brown is out OF the city,
but will return on Monday, when it is thought
all of the accused will come into court except
McDonough: who is in Dakota. They will be
admitted to bail, doubtless, in a very reason
able sum. 1t is not improbable that Brady's
property will be attached.

The Coming Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Oct lone who ought to
know as much as any one, excepting the pres
ident himself, about the prospective cabinet
changes, stated to-day that there would be
a clean sweep and disposition of the
present incumbents, as follows: Blaine will
be offered first class foreign mission,
which it is believed he will not accept Secrc-
judgeship, which, perhaps, he will not refuse.
as otherwise he will be left without position.
Secretary Kirkwood will be APP
pointed = governor of Arizona . Ter
ritory in place of Pathfinder
Fremont The administration will use its best
endeavors to secure WINDOWS return to the
senate, that being the position most desired by
him. Postmaster General James will either
accept the presidency Of moneyed corpora
him, or if he prefers will be
made assistant treasurer at New York. MI.
MacVeagh is anxious to return to his law prac-
tice The most troublesome problem is to dis
pose of Secretary Lincoln. To invite him to re-
tain his portfolio would be to create an invidl-
GUS distinction not at all complimentary
to his retiring co-laborers. Upon consultation
with Gen. Logan, it is reported that it has been
determined to tender the attorney general
ship to Senator David Davis Of Illinois. whose
senatorial term expires in 1883. The resig-
nation of Davis will create a vacancy, and in
the event of his acceptance Of
the attorney generalship 1t is pro-
TO the senate in Davis place. It is not known
but in view OF the fact Of the improbability OF
his reelection, it is thought he will regard the
proposition favorably. Another point which
President Arthur hopes to gain by this ex-
change is to secure a Republican ascendency
the senate by substituting Lincoln for Davis.

Tunisian Barbarity.

PARIS. Oct 4. General Farris, minister of
war, has received kilograms confirming the re-
port of the burning of railway station at
Wadzergha and the massacreing.of a number
of employees, including several British sub
jects, by the insurgents in Tunis The attack
on the station was made by the Arabs who re-
Gently attacked Ali Bey. The station master,
an ex-lieutenant in the French army and a
chevalier of the legion of honor, was burned
alive, and ten employees, mostly Italians, mas
sacred. Rouclon, French minister at Tunis,
invited the English and Italian co,,suls to as
sist at an official inquiry into the disaster.
The English and Italian consular clerks, doc
tors, etc, have accordingly gone to Wad-
zergha for that purpose Six hundred
French troops went there on the goth ult, but
the Arabs disappeared long before their arri-

by wholesale destruction of villages and
vineyards, which Gen. Sabatier considered
necessary around Zaghanar. The Tunisian

That it was not ended was not his

A CURE BY IMAGINATION.
LETTING IN AIR THROUGH THE DOORS
OF \ BOOKCASE.

At large hotel the not uncom-
mon dilemma arose Of there being
only one room in the house vacant
when two visitors required accom-
mediation for the night. 1t was a
double bedded chamber, or was soon
converted into such, and the two
guests-who were both commercial
travelers-agreed to share it. One
Of these gentlemen was a confirmed
hypochondriac, end greatly alarmed
his companion by Weakening up in
the middle of the night, gasping
for breath. asthma, he painted

quickly; give me air" Terrified be-
yond measure, the other jumped
out of bed. But the room was pitch
dark; lie had no matches, and he
had forgotten the position of the
window. For heavens sake, be
quick"' gasped the invalid. "Giye
me more air or | shall chokew At

and upsetting half the furniture in
the apartment, the window was
found; but it was an old fashioned
easement, and no hasp or catch was
to be discovered, Quick, quick;

dying man. "Open it, break it,

but selling a boot, smashed every

experienced great relief. "Oh,

sighs which testified to the great
comfort he derived. II think in
another moment should have been
deadw And when he had sufficien-
tly recovered and had expressed his
heartfelt gratitude, he described the
intense distress of these attacks and
the length of time he had suffered
from them. After a while both
fell asleep again, devoutedly thank
tul for the result. 1t was a warm
summer night and they felt no in
convenience from the broken win
dow; but when daylight relieved
the pitchy darkness of the night
the window was found to be still
entire! Had invisible GLACIERS been

for the floor was still strewn with
the broken glass. Then, as they
looked round in amazement, the So
luton ofthe mystery presented it
self in the shape of an antiquated
bookcase, whose latticed glass doors
were a shattered wreck. The spas
medically attacked one was cured
from that moment. So much for
imagination.

MALONE ON JEFF DAVIS'S
BOOK.

Did Gen. Lee or any otherprom-
inent man in the confederacy agree
with Davis in his plan Of retreat
ing to the mountains and prolong-
ing the war by running fight"
Not that can recall" said Sen
ator Malone. Il know Gen. Lee
did not, and all appeared to recog-
nize the fact that when Richmond
fell the war would be ended. Davis
says in his work that Lee never con
templated surrender. He had long
before, in language similar to that
employed by Washington during
the Revolution, expressed to me the
belief that in the mountains Of Vir-
ginia he could carry on the war for
twenty years.
The statement that Gen. Lee
never contemplated surrender is not
true. He not only thought of sur
render, but proposed it to Davis.
| had conference with Gen. Lee
in his tent at Appomattex immed-
lately after the surrender. He said
to me during that interview that
some time during the winter he had
urged upon Davis the desirability, il
not necessity, of making terms with
Gen. Grant. He detailed to me
some OF the talk between him and
Davis, who, he said, would not lis
ten to making terms, but insisted
that he must fight to the last. Gen.
Lee said that he explained to Davis
the situation of the two armies; that
Grants force, greatly superior to his,
was within nine miles Of its base OF
supplies, and fully equipped with
transportation and fresh cavalry
and artillery horses; that even then
il would be impossible in the Grip
pied condition of his transportation
to retreat; that in the spring when
Grant came down upon him surren-
der would be inevitable. His idea was
that duty called him to make terms
without further bloodshed. Davis
refused, and the result is in history.
This talk between Gen. Lee and
myself, coming as it did immed-
| lately after the surrender, made a

MINERAL WOOL.

Mineral wool, or silicate cotton,
is one of those curious and uneX-
pected inventions arising from the
ever-increasing effort Of modern
science to utilize the waste materi-
al Of industry. 1t was first man
ufactured in large quantities in one
of the large gum factories Of Krupp
in Essen, a large town of Prussia,
on the Rhine, where such immense
quantities. Of mineral refuse, or
slang" had accumulated year after
year that to get rid of it became a
serious problem. It had formed
quite respectable sized mountains
when some one conceived the idea
Of experimenting with it, and found
by the action Of hot air and jets Of
steam under the pressure Of three
or four atmospheres, blow upon the
slang when still at nearly a white
heat, it became transformed into
light, coherent, spongy, something
between wool and grey cotton wad-
ding in appearance, and capable of
being purified SO as to become as
white as wool. 1t is, Of course,
perfectly incombustible. 1t is also
a very bad conductor of heat, and
relatively cheap-about a cent and
half a pound, or about s. a cubic
yard. 1t Will probably become
cheaper as the supply increases.
Its uses are many and varied. 1t
makes excellent coverings for for
cling beds, wraps for water pipes
and faucets to protect them from
frost. In building it is especially
valuable. Placed between the out
er and inner surfaces Of walls it is
excellent protection against the cold
Of winter and the heat Of summer:
while for the stuffing of partition
walls and floors it is the most effec-
tive deadener of sound yet discov-
cred. 1t is lighter and less expen-
sive than most substances used for
this purpose, and has the great adj
vantage Of being inaccessible to
mice as well as of preventing the
spread Of flames in case Of fire.
1t is not waterproof but is made
SO when required, by coating it
under heat with bituminous or res
inous matter. The demand for this
material is increasing, but its man
ufactnre in this country is control
led by parties who hold patents
thereon. It's manufactured at the
large iron furnaces at Greenwood,

THE GLASS SNAKE.
4 SERPANT THAT BREAKS INTO PFC
les. WHICH COMES TOGETHER AGAIN.

les. WHICH COMES TOGETHER AGAIN.
Along the Upper Brazos and in
Western Texas, where flourish the
horned frog, is the strangest snake
known to naturalists. Heis some
times called the glass-snake. He
is from two to four feet long, with
a striped back. He is not pison-
Gus. His way of defending him
self when attacked by a powerful
foe is similar to that of the possum
or skunk. Instead offighting back
he breaks into a dozen pieces, and
every piece, distinct in itself, lies
apparently dead on the ground.
Sometimes the pieces are foot a.
part. When the foe disappears
the pieces gradually come togeth-
er, unite into one snake and carwl
off. The naturalists ask if the piec-
es are entirely separated. | answ-
er, they are. No film or tendon
holds them together. You can
chop the ground with an ak be-
tween the pieces. Mr.. II. Edwards
whose postoffice address is Mont
gomery, Albany, showed me one
Of these snakes at Waco. He still
has it alive, and will prove with
a living snake, or by answering a
letter from any naturalist, the ac-
curacy Of this story.
The glass snake which Mr.. Edw-
ards showed me had lost the tip
Of its tail. When | asked the own
er how it happened, he said:
The snake went to piecies one
day, and before it got together, a
hungry king-snake which l still
have swallowed the tail.
Mr.. Edwards has several king
snakes. Like the glass-snake, they
are not poisonous. Still they kill
the largest snakes in the bottoms.
They make a spring at large
snake or rabbit, coil instantly a
round its neck and strangle it
choke it to death. A king snake
five feet long will strangle dog or
rattlesnake. The only snake able
to defend itself against the king
snake is the grasssnake. When
the king-snake springs at the glass
snake, the glass-snake breaks into
pieces, and its foe might as well
try to strangle basket Of clothes
pins or a pailful ofsardines.

PUBLIC SPIRIT.
Every man owes a duty to Il

Every man owes a duty to the
town in which he resides, to ad-
vance its prosperity, to add to its
advantages for residence, to make
it the abode of kindly sentiment,
brotherly love and neighborly feel
ing. It is shame for a man to
use the community as a shepherd
uses his seep-merely to shear the
wool. Money-meterial gain-is
not all of life. Barren would be
the spot where no man respect
his neighbours rights. That man
is a disgrace to the civilization of
the nineteenth century whose every
day duties are regulated by the
thought, "Can | better myself at
the expense Of the town or of the
community to which / belong!"
Of course a community is only
an aggregation of individuals.
The residents of a town, however,
stamp the same character and rep
utation upon the place of their res
idence that actuates their own con-
duct in life. A stream cannot raise
higher than its fountain head;
neither can the tone of society rise
above the motives and sentiments
Of its individual members. A vii
lage is denominated a smart, active
place simply because few leading
men are enterprising, sagacious
and public-spirited. Brains, spirit
and energy will triumph over nat
ural obstacles. A fertile soil may
be of little value to a lazy commu-
nifty, while careful cultivation may
render a sandy plain productive.
Many a once thrifty town can
date its decay from the removal Of
some wide-awake, enterprising cit
izen. Few people appreciate the
zeal money value Of their public
spirited neighbors, and in far too
many communities live business
men meet discouragements from
those who do not work themselves
and seem to delight in preventing
others. 1t is unfair to expect a
few men to bear the burden of
making a reputation for a town,
when a little co operation among
even its humblest citizen can ac-
complish the most benefcent re,
suits. New England towns Of the
greatest promise a generation ago
have gone to decay because its
young men have found no welcome
or encouragements in their enter
prising designs, and have been fore
ed to migrate to the city or to the
western prairie to find scope for
their powers and ambitions.
