A Topeka dispatch says that Con-
gresham Ryan telegraphs that the
Kansas delegation at Washington
have agreed to recommend the appoint
ment of Major Thos. J. Anderson as
postmaster at Topeka. This is sur
prise alike to the community and to
Maj. Anderson, who was not an appli-
cant for the place. His nomination
was agreed on as a compromise
between the various elements controll-
ing the place, and gives very general
satisfaction. Maj. Anderson is men,

When the Senate opened Tuesday
there was mass of flowers around
Senator Mahone's desk, part of which
were sent from the greenhouse at the
Presidential mansion, and bore the
card of the President. This is taken
as signifying that the relations be-
tween Mr.. Malone and the admins
tration are to be cordial. This worries
the Democrats greatly, for they fear
the effect in Virginia, and not in that
State only, but throughout the whole
South. The independent action of
Malone, it is feared, will result in CIV
ing a great stimulus to the independ-
ent party throughout the South.

An emigration has begun in Ger
many which promises to be the great

enced. The objective point, of course,
Is the United States. Although the

Immediately upon their arrival they
divide up among the different States,
and will soon be absorbed in the great
current OF American life.

The Car Of Russia Murdered.


No event of late years has so startled
the people of the civilized world as thu
announcement that went over the tele
egraph wires and cables last Sunday
announcing that Alexander, the Czal
of Russia, had been murdered. A cor
respondent telegraphed from st. Peters
burg to London the following account
of his assassination:
est. PETERSBURG, March 13.-As the Emper
or was returning from parade in Niche
Manege, about O'Clock, Sunday afternoon, Z
bomb was thrown and exploded under thu
Cars carriage, doing considerable damage tt
the carriage The Car alighted unhurt. but &
second bomb exploded at his feet, shatterins
both legs below the knee and inflicting Other
terrible injuries. The Car was Immediately
conveyed in an unconscious state to the Wiutel
Palace, where he died at 4:3O this afternoon.
1.-TWO persons were concerned in the crime,
one of whom was seized Immediately.
''The explosion also killed an officer and two
COssacks Many policemen and other persons
were injured.
''It is stated. the bombs were made of thick
glass filled with -glycerine. The assassins
stood on the opposite sides of the road. The
carriage was moving fast, and the first shell
struck the ground behind it, and the back OF
the carriage was blown out. The cOachman
implored the Car to enter the carriage again,
but he moved few PAGES from the carriage to
see to the wounded of his escort. The assassin
whe threw the first bomb tried to point a re-
l,,tf y,icfn1 OF,
from his hand"
Upon the receipt of the dispatch at
Washington from the United States
Minister at st. Petersburg, announcing
the Emperor's death, the Secretary of
State Immediately sent by cable the
following:
"FosTER, American Minister, st. Petersburg:
express to the Minister of Foreign Affairs
the sentiments of sorrow with which the Presi-
dent and people of the United States have heard
of the terrible crime of which the Emperor has
been the victim, and their profound sympathy
with the Imperial family and Russian people in
their great affection. BLAINE,
Secretary Of State"
Alexander has ruled Russia for more
than quarter of century past, and
during that time he has inaugurated
more reforms and liberated more slaves
than any ruler of ancient or modern
times. There has ever been kind
feeling entertained by the people of the
United States for the Russians, and the
action of the Gar and his government
during the war between the North and
the South, was SO just and favorable,
when England and France were anX-
ious to interfere for their own profit,
that since that time the two nations
have been counted warm friends. In
1861, some two months before Lincoln
issued his emancipation proclamation,
issued his famous edict
freeing 1900, 900 serfs. He was doubt
less murdered by the Nihilists, who
had no hatred for him as man, but
who are opposed to the existing g, :
in Russia, and who had sew
eral times before attempted to take his
life. His son was Immediately pro-
Emperor after his death.

A Romance and a "Reminiscences Of the
War.

We have no doubt that the Erianger
syndicate will be of enormous value to
the South. It viii build splendid rail-
ways and operate them for common
good. Along their lines many indus
tries viii be developed and population
dow. There Is q bit of romance at
tached to this system which Is worthy of
recall. When Hon. John Sidell, of
Louisiana, was appointed, along with
Hon. James M. Mason, Commissioner
for the Confederate States in Europe,
he embarked with his family on the
British steamer Trent. AS Is well
known, the Trent was captured on the
high seas by United States cruiser
commanded by Capt. Wilkes, and the
Southern ENJOYS compelled to return to
this country as prisoners of war. How
near this incident came to involving the
General Government in war with Great
Britain Is now q matter of history. Its
also truth OF history that q daughter OF
John Slidell resented an impertinence
from one of Wilkes officers by Q rous-
ing slap upon the fellows face. She was
q high-toned, beautiful, and accom-
plished girl, and destined for great
things, by some strange freaks of for
tune. When Mr.. Mason and her father
were returned to English custody, after
an ample apology, Miss Shden accom-
panied them abroad. She rapidly be-
came o belle in Paris, and was the re.
cipient of many notable offers of mar
riage. The successful suitor was Baron
Erfanger, one of the richest bankers in
the world. 1t is said that, after the
war, ssshe succeeded in enlisting his
sympathies for the upbuilding OF the
stricken and PROSTATE South, and he or
ganized company for the purpose OF
Investing capital in developing the re-
sources of the Southern States. The
syndicate has invested largely in rail
roads, and they are making money
largely and rapidly. 1t Is thus, by sing
ing the songs of her Zion in strange
land, that q noble Southern woman has
contributed so largely to the wealth, the
prosperity, and upbuilding of her be
loved native land. (GG.J

To Abort a Felon.

The most painful affiiction, while it lasts,
that any one can have, is whitlow or felon.
1t is of an erysipelatous character, and may
start from the bone or as result of an ex-
ternal injury. The diagnosis is simple, and
the treatment should be successful in
twenty four to forty eight hours. Wash the
part for q moment in solution of carbolic
acid until it is softened and bleached; then
wipe dry and apply collodion, several coats
Now, in drying, the collodion contracts,
and causes an even pressure, and pressure,
according to physiological law, causes
absorption. The patient is always consti-
pated, and should have a mild cathartic
and an anodyne at night as the pain is ex-
cessive for some hours. 1t should never be
poulticed. If matter has formed, it will
appear at the surface, and an incision
through the skin will let it out. Medical
men win be surprised at the result of this
treatment-Prof.N j. b. Stearns, M. D., in
ST. Louis Electic Medical Journal.

Predictions for the Coming winter.

The Chairman of the Weather Bureau
announced that he had no prediction
for the coming week, owing to the fact
that his goose-bone had either been
stolen by some designing villain or had
been eaten by one Of his dogs. He had
sent to Kentucky for another, and mean
while had employed himself in observ-
ing such signs as would indicate the sort
of winter the country would have. BE
felt himself authorized to predict as
follows:
9. November will be an open month,
neither cold enough for winter nor warm
enough for lawn parties. -
December will be deceiving month.
You will first imagine that it Is time to
plant corn, and win next be engaged in
chopping your whisky with an AK. A
warm spell about the Goth will give the
people . chance to scald bedsteads, clean
out the pantry and get ready for winter.
January win bring more or less winter
weather, and red noses viii be thicker
than blackberries.
February viii come next TO January
this year. Peach trees have been known
to blossom in this month, but the peaches
hardly ever get ripe before the boys
steal 'em. II the blossoms come sell
your cutter for half price. ~
March viii be very quiet month,
and you needn't be surprised TO see
farmers out moving hay by the 20th.-
