Star Route investigation, and that IT was partially
concluded TO institute criminal proceedings
against the most culpable Star Route jobbers. The

Ii may discover who were the Star Route iobbers
who imagined they could control the nom

fatal to their hopes, and who again, they were

line, when they fancied they had so safely in

things than they had under Mr.. Hayes. Ii is
further said that 1t Is not the intention OF the
Postmaster General to disarrange the methods OF
the Star Route investigation to attend specifically
to the contracts in which ex-senator Dorsey is
supposed to have interest. The Postmaster

assurance that not only his but all of the Stal

citizen of South Bend, at Kalamazoo Men, SAYS:
The facts appear to be that some eighteen
months ago, Jennings who is worth some SEQ GOO by

boys heart failing him, Jennings did it himself
He was arrested there, and, on examination
bound over to the Circuit Court in the sum
of 81 600, which he at once gave and fled. He
has been to Kentucky, Florida, Nova Scotia
South America, and had come here for some par

The New Ocean Cable.

The New York Worlds London cable dispatch
of May 5, says:
The recent furry and alarm among the Gable
Companies here is fully explained to-day by the
completion of the preparations for laying the new
American cables from England to Nova Scotia.
All the nonsense published here and in New York
about the alleged arrangements for checking the
American competition with the British cable
monopoly is exploded to day by the announce
ment that the cable steamship Faraday is under
orders to sail to-day cor tomorrow from the
Thames, to begin the work of laying the new
Atlantic cables, constructed by the house
of Siemens Brothers for Mr.. Jay Gould
and the American Cable Company. The
Faraday has been taking her cables aboard for the
last week at Woolwich. One thousand two hun
dred miles of the new cables are now finished,
and 500 miles will be finished by the middle of
this month. These cables are the very finest ever
made. Their peculiar feature is the new manner
of so manufacturing the gutta percha cores as to
insure safety against air bubbles and TO avoid
faults in the cables thus insuring much longer
working duration to the cables. with correspond
ing advantages to the stockholders. The Faraday
will sail with about 1000 miles on board. II all
goes well the first of the new cables should be
laid and in working order by the 3lst of August
next. Slemens Bros. are now making estimates
for the American Pacific cables also. the laying of
which will begin early possible next year.

CATEGORICAL contests are becoming very
common. They are always INDUCED in by
the students of Universities and Colleges
They are made use of as a sort Of escape
pige. ElOquence has charming ring and
the word itself is rather rythmical. Oratory
has ever been looked upon by the young
man as one of the arts which spring from
olympus. Cicero and Demosthenes, Glad
stone and Ingersoll-these names are little
less than any silver-tOngue in the court OF
Jupiter. But Gladstone is practical orator
and Ingersolrs eloquence puts money in mis-
pocket. The oratory of the school is quite
q different thing. There is no gain in it, no
mimic in it, no sense in it. These young
gentlemen write and spout for nothing The
methods they employ are not even fit
school to be trained in Everything is
exaggerated, ridiculous, unreal, false.
The topics that are discussed are well
enough, perhaps, but the manner in which
they are discussedis mplyhorrible-fright
eningl A contest IN arithmetical oralgebra-
ic problems would be of more profit than a
contest in oratory. Even spellIng-school
would be better. Nothing could be worse.

How Garfield offended Grant.


A Washington special of May to the Chicago
Times says:
In conversation with a prominent Senator on
yesterday afternoon the correspondent for the
Times was told the story of Ganeral Grants first,
ana probably, If the recital is true last. visit to
President Garfield at the White House. The
exact date of the call the Senator did not know,
but in the evening afterward the General ex-
pressed = himself as being highly pleased
been received. He said that Garfield thanked
him most heartily and in the most en-
phatic manIfer for the part he had taken in max
ing success possible in November. He thought
the frank and open stand of Grant, Conkling,
Logan, and other leading stalwarts perhaps
the turning pOintin the campaign, and he wished
to show his gratitude in some more substantial
manner than by mere words. The General re-
piled that he wished for nothing fo- himself, and
that he had called both on account of old friend
ship and to pay his due need of respect to the
President and that he had not thought of en-
barrassing the Administration by asking favors for
others. Despite this, however, Garfield per-
sisted, and wanted some persons named
whose appointment might be considered by Grant
in the light OF a personal favor. Being thus
he would make, under the circumstances, and
that he would ask nothing further.
The first was that General Bradeau, his life long
friend, and who was engaged in writing history
of Grants life. should be retained as Consul at
London.
The second was that his brother in law,
Kramer. should be retained at Copenhagen, and
this was asked particularly on account of the
feeble health of Mrs. Kramer, the Generals sister,
the climate there being particularly beneficial.
The third was that John Russell Young be APP
pointed Minister to Mexico. 1.-The promises were
made" continued the Senator, without a mo-
ment's hesitation, and the General left the city

who was rem owed from the New York Collector
ship, while some fellow or other, from Ohio, /
suppose, was appointed Minister TO Mexico"
You incline to the opinion then, that General
Grant will not see the inside of the White House
again for three or four years?'
''Not during Garfeld's term, +" was the emphatic
answer.

will be Of no use. for Malone win not vote with
