HOUSEKEEPING IN THE WHITE
HOUSE.
EGlobe-Denlocrat.1

Mrs. Stover, the daughter of Andrew
johnson, was most thorough and ex
cellent housewife, and by the perfec
order and management of the estab
lishment won Il reputation for domes
tic talents that New England matro1
might envy.
Mrs. Grant was. altogether the bes
and the most of her eight years was
spent in devising how to patch, turr
and make presentable the wcll-worr
furnishings, since SO much of the an.
nual appropriation went to the roof
the water spout, and the plumbing
Mrs. Grant left the house in the most
perfect condition., with everything
spick and span, scrubbed, cleaned, and
polished about it, and gave n written
inventory of every article, from the
kitchen traps to the rags and crippled
furniture of the garret.
Mrs. Hayes left things more to the
care of the servants during her four
years, and during the illness of Mrs.
Garfield, and afterward the death siege
of President Garfield the place ran
itself.
1t was like cleaning the Augean sta
bles to bring the house to Il proper con-
dition for President Arthur, and that
fastidiously neat gentleman gave some
very decided orders when he first in
spected the White House, from top to
bottom, with view to residence.
When it was scraped and secured,
cleaned, papered and furnished afresh,
President Arthur entered into his do
main with some reasonable compla-
cency. He was ushered into his own
private room, a poem of carefully
blended tints of robin's-egg blue and
maroon, touched with dull gold and
bronze, and then it was found that
there was not towel in the White
House stores. The stock had dimin-
ished and then disappeared after Pres
ident Garfield's illness, and his success
or's first official act was to command
the purchase of those necessary appli-
ances to civilization before he could !
dry his hands.

NEW ORLEANS PACIFIC AND LITTLE
ROCK RAILWAY.
{ Alexandria Central Express ]

This road, which was projected last
New Orleans Pacific with ST. Louis by
a direct line, uniting with the Iron
Mountain road at l<uobel, is 4 branch
of the Gould system, which would
give the shortest line between New
Orleans and st. Louis. Work on the
commenced last year and the iron has
been laid to Il point near the Louisiana
line.
This road will cross Red river ut this
place, and all the stone that will be re-
quired for the piers of the bridge has
been gotten out near the proposed
crossing. Work on the bridge here
was suspended last fall, ON account of
the rise in the river, and has not yet
been resumed.
The Morgan Company doubtless in
tend pushing their road northward
rators of the n o. L. and l.. r.. II. II.
do not avail themselves of the privi-
leges of their charter in q reasonable
time we hope to see the Morgan COM
pany build road which will open up
this important section of the State.
Tho territory through which a road
running northward from Alexandria,
through the parishes lying between the
Red and Ouachita rivers, would pass is
populated by thrifty farmers, and
much of it is heavily timbered with
yellow pine and oak. Saw mills will
be established along this road as soon
as completed, and the lumber which
would be obtained from this section |
would, of course, be an immense item
as freight.
A road which would pay so largely
as this one should be built at once, and
as it would soon develop a section that
would sustain population fifty times
as great as it now contains, it would
be one Of the best paying roads in the
South.

AMERICAN SARDINES.

| EAsTPoRT, Me, July 3.-The sar-
dine trade in eastern Maine has in the
last few years grown very rapidly.
From 1876 until the present time the
number of factories has increased from
one to about twenty-five, of which sew
enteen or eighteen are in Eastport. The
fish are hoisted from the boats on to
the wharf, where they are spread on
long tables. There the heads and tails
are cut Off by the tcutters," after
Which they are put into pickle for about
an hour. Then they are taken out,
washed in clean water, and laid on
flakes to dry, it being found impossible
to fry them when wet, the fish all
breaking up. After being dried, which
on sunny days is done out of doors, and
in damp or wet weather in the dry
house, by means of n circulation of hot
and cold air, they are fried in oil. This
oil is generally cotton-seed, or some
cheaper kind. Then they are packed
in the cans by the girls, the smaller
fish being put up in oil and the larger
in French mustard or in spices. The
Oil used in packing ought to be pure
olive, but it is found impossible to use
it, being SO expensive and the price of
sardines SO low. Cotton-seed, peanut,
and other kinds of oil are used in pack
ing. After being packed in the cans,
the covers are put ON and sealed. Then
they are put into bath of boiling wa
ter and kept there two hours, the wa
ter being kept boiling. At the end Of
that time they are taken out and
small hole tapped in each can, to let
the hot or expanded air escape, and i'm
mediateIy closed. The can is then air.
tight, and will keep good for years, in
any climate. They are then cleaned,
packed in cases, and shipped to New
York or the West. The sardine indus
try has made good times in this remote
locality (Eastport and vicinity. Any
smart boy or girl, with steady work,
can earn from SIS to IS per week. The
sealers make from $40 to $50 week. .

KELLOGG AND THE STAR ROUTE
CASES.
Especial to Tho Times-Democrat.]

Especial to Tho Times -Democrat.]
WAsIIINGTON, July S.-The reports
relative to Mr.. 1lellogg's connection
with the star route cases are gradually
assmining more definite and serious
shape. There is no longer any doubt
that he had some business transactions
with j. b. Price and John A. Walsh
which related to star routes. Whether
those business transactions were of
corrupt character remains to be proven.
1t is alleged that drafts drawn by
Price for money due him by the de-
partfnent on his contracts, and in
dorscd by Kellogg, are in possession of
counsel for the government. These
drafts, as the story goes, were turned
over to Walsh for collection and distri-
button. 1t is asserted that some of this
money can be traced to Brady. 1t is
reported that Mr.. kellogg visited,
within the last day or two, the Attor-
planned that the counsel for the govern
ment in the star route cases were pros
ecuting him.
1t is certain that Merrick, the brain
lest of the counsel, has no love for
Kellogg. lie was Spoford's counsel in
the Spofford- contest. He is
the one, if rumor is to be credited, who
is pressing the present case against
Kellogg.
These reports affecting Mr.. kellogg
assume greater Importance from the
fact that they involve the possibility
of a change in the political complexion
Of the Senate.

TIE HABIT OF SAVING.

Children who have q littlo money
ought to practice saving something.
Many boys and girls of to-day hardly
known higher use for money that
comes in their hands than spending 1t
for some foolish thing as quickly as
possible. TO such, lesson in self
denial and economy is very important.
AS go the boys pennies and dimes, so,
very likely, will go tho mans dollars
and hundreds by and by, Without
having tho spirit Of Il miser, tho person
accustomed TO save has more pleasure
in laying up than n spendthrift ever
knows.
The way to keep money is to earn it
fairly and honestly. Money SO OBJ
tanned Is pretty sure to abide with it's
possessor. But money that is inher-
tied, or that in any way comes with
out a fair and just equivalent, is almost
certain to go as it came. Tho young
man who begins by saving few
dollars a month, and thriftiIy increases
his storc--evcry coin being a representa-
two of good, solid work, honestly and
manfulIy done stands better chance
to spend the last half of his life IN
afiiucnce and comfort than he who, IN
his haste to become rich, obtains money
by dasI,ing spccuiations, or the devious
means which abound in the foggy
region lying between fair dealing and
actual fraud. Among tho wisest and
most thrifty men OF wealth the current
Droycrb is tmOney goes as it cOmeS,O
Let the young make note of this, and
sec that their money comes fairly, that
it may long abide with them.

CAUSES OF THE WAR.

may be OF interest to recount briefly
the events leading to the impending
Egyptian war. In 1876 the Egyptian
Government was in an alarming con-
dition financially, and the then Khe-
dive, lsmail Pasha, was ruling the
country with a high hand, and squau-
derinS money in the most reckless
fashion. The interests of bond holders
were seriously threatened, and England
and France had reason to believe that
the supremacy over the Suez Canal was
IN peril. These two powers decided
upon intervention. They Informed
lsn,ail Pasha in very positive terms
that he must reform his government.
He promised to do so, but his proved
to be empty words. He continued to
manage affairs in the old despotic way.
Finally, in 1879, the Khedive was
forced to abdicate in favor of his
nephew, Tewtik Pasha, who has admin
istered the Government under the SUI
pervision of England and France, with
Germany, Austria and Italy behind
them. In this arrangement England
and France are represented each by a
Minister, invested with full authority
to inquire into the public service, in-
Guiding the public debt. They prepare
the budget. There is also a Commission
of Liquidation, to look afterthe nation
al finances. One result Of English and
French rule is that thousands of for
eigners have been appointed to Office,
and are edrawing..annually an enormous
sum in the way of salaries, estimated
at about $2,5oo,000.
