WASHINGTON.
.Jealousv of Arctic Navieators.


WASHINGTON Sept. 16 - There is much
comment here over the fact that Lieut.. Danen-
hover declined to attend the banquet in New
York in honor of Engineer Melville. This is
the more marked in view of the fact that Mel
vile is his superior officer, and it recalls the
fact that DaDenhower, on his return to this
country declined to Call upon Mrs. Melville in
Philadelphia and give her news of her husband
IL appears that Melville wrote a letter to the
Navy Department charging Danenhower with
jealousy toward him, almost amounting to iD-
sanity. These two officers never agreed as to
the expedition.
Henry Georges Case.
Henry George has written a letter to Pres-
dent Arthur, formally calling his attention to
the recent experience of Mr.. George in Ire
land. The letter was filed at the White House
to-day by j. Hale Sypher, along with COM
as representative of Georges friends, bespeaks
an early consideration by the Executive, of
the history of Georges wrongs.

ing 1t back to the time of Washington, who in
a tour through New England, wrote of Lynn as
"the shoe town of smerica,n AIev attributed
the prosperity of the business largely to the
fact that Congress in 1871 passed the first tariff
act for protection of boot and shoe manufac-
turers, and now it was il condition to compete

Earrings and EyeSight

"A great deal mas been written <n the
subject of 'boring the ears for the sa e
ofthe eyes, says the London Lancet.
1t is always easy to find excuses for
any practice which ministers to vanity.
That the counter irritation set up by
boring the ear and wearing a ring may
during the few weeks following the op-
Grafton, have some effect on the eyes.
supposing these organs to be the seat OF
any low form contamination, is just pos
sible; but that permanent goo should
be done by wearing rings in the ears
after they have ceased to irritate is in
conceivable. The test for motive
in the recourse to this de-
vice would, therefore, be will
ingness on the part of the applicant for
this form of Treatment" to allow the
healing process to be delayed, say, bv
wearing rough ring dipped in some IT,
ritating application-in fact, so prepared
as to act like seton. This, indeed, might
do good, but in such a case probably re-
course to few blisters behind the ears
would be better. 1t is nonsense to SUM-
pose the wearing OF earrings can be O.,
any service to the eyes unless they irri-
tate, and if they do irritate, the process
by which the result attributed to them is
obtained is circutious, and from a surgi-
cal point Of view awkward in the ex-
treme.

Dress and Literature at the Bar

David Paul Brown, for many years
one Of the leaders Of the Philadelphia
bar, was often ridicuIed by envious
lawyers as a fop and pedant. It was
his habit to appear in court dressed in a
blue coat with brass buttons, buff vest
and light trousers and glossy hat.
When one bantere,l him on his dressi-
ness, he replied that he had never
known 4 man to speak well in clumsy
boots, nor to have I; clear mind with
dirty face and hands.
"A becoming dccency Of exterior" he
added, "may not be necessary for our
selves, but it is agreeable to others"
No rival could afford to cherish con-
tempt for the so-called dandy, for he
was a pleasing orator, powerful with
the jury and always compelling the at
tention Of the court by his knowledge
and original Interpretation of the law
He was, like Mr.. Choate, an omnivor-
Gus reader and an enthusiastic lover Of
elegant literature. In justification Of his
passion, he said, -
ut enables me to return to my more
rugged pursuits with greater aIacrity
and renewed strength The mind takes
strengthen it, you must direct it for a
time into other channels, and thereby
refresh and improve it. 4 mere lawyer
IS a mere jackass, and has never the
power to unload himself; whereas con-
slider the advocate the thoroughly ac-
compilshed advocate-the highest style
OF man. lie is always ready to learn
ana teach. Hortensins was lawyer,
Glcero an orator. The one is forgotten,
the other is immortal"

The Late Henry Giles.

The Rev. Henry Giles, who died re-
Gently in Boston, was brilliant and
scholarly Irishman, who lived sad life
for many years. He was Unitarian
clergyman, but never had settlement,
his unfortunate deformity standing in
his way. Mr.. Giles was dwarf and
hunchback, with Il large head, swarthy
complexion, and heavy features
He married wife about thirty years
ago, as the result ola courtship conducted
entirely by letter. The lady fell in love
with his intellect as seen in his writings,
and they exchanged many letters, and
never met till they came together to get
married. They lived in apparent hap
piness for some years, when Mr.. Giles
had the still further misfortune to be
stricken with paralysis. He lost the use
of his legs from this, and by Il second
stroke which followed later was deprived
of all power of motion otherwise. In
this way he lived long time, during
which his wife died and left him almost
literally alone in the world. Mr.. Giles
is described as natural orator, and he
had good analytical mind, as vel! as
decided rhetorical talent.

sugar have been added; then mix to-
gether and let rise until light. It is bet
ter to let this sponge over night, and in
the morning add the other Ingredients
(flour the raisins) and let rise again.
When light, fill the baking pans and let
rise again. Bake in a moderate oven.
This recipe makes three large loayes,
and is a standard, economical loaf cake.
FRorHED ORANGE CREAM.-Make pint
of cream very sweet; put it over the fire;
let it just boil. Put the juice of a large
orange, in which bit of the peel has
been previously stepped, into each glass
(they must be narrow and deep like jelly
glasses), and when the cream is almost
cold pour from q teapot upon the Juice,
holding it as high as possible.
Pea SoUP.-Take quart OF shelled
peas; boil the pods in a gallon of cold wa
ter until all the substance is boiled out
of them; then skim them out, and nut two
pounds of beef into the pot. After the
meat is boiled to shreds, skim the SOM
we'll, strain and return it to the pot; add
the peas with little parsley, and let it
simmer until the peas are quite tender:
season with pepper and salt; thicken with
little butter and -four, let itboil up once
ana serve.
BOSTON BROWN BREAD.-Take two cups
of rye meal mot -four, four cups Of yell
low corn meal, add warm water enough
to make Il batter stiff as you can stir it..
The water in which squash or pumpkin
has been boiled makes excellent bread :
if YOU have not cooked SQUASH or pump,
kin use clear water. Add one gill ofmo-
lasses to the batter, a teaspoonful of salt
and half teaspoonful of soda, dissolved
in tablespoonful of boiling water, and
a teacupful of home made yeast. Let
the bread rise over night and till very
light, then put into deep iron pans and
smooth over the top with cold water.
Let it rise little longer, and then bake
for six hours in SLOW oven. 1t is bet.
ter to make late in the day, and leave
all night in the oven. Take out before
the morning fire is made, wrap in a
cloth, steam awhile. Serve hot for
breakfast.

they will rare y remind one hours after

are eaten raw may be treated in the
same way.
Candicd orange is Il delicacy which is
easily made. Peel and quarter the Or
anges; make syrup in the proportion
of one ponnd OF sugar to one pint of wa
ter; then take it from the fire and din
the quarters of orange in the syrup; let
them drain on a fine sieve, placed over
a platter, so that the syrup will not be
wasted: let them drain thus until cool
when the sugar will crystalize These

A Great Moral Lesson.

At meeting OF some colorel Mctho.
dists in Kentucky it was decided t. max.
collection. The president passed the
hat himself, and, in order to encourage
the others. he put in Il 10 cent piece.
After the collection, during which every
hand had been in the hat, the presi dent
approached the table and turned the
hat upside down, and not even his own
contribution dropped out lie opened
his eyes with astonisllment and ex-
claimed: go goodness, but Pee eben

there was CONSERVATION on the faces OF

That was the question. He could not

indicate my own course. Yes, I must
move down stream, for the fettered
cavaliar on the board crossed the stream
to the right. At length the problem was
solved.
Anxiously and eagerly I waited for
night. Hardly had darkness enveloped
the earth, when climbing through my
window I dropped myself into the
stream. The curreatand my own stren-
uous exertions soon carried me far away
from my jailer. As I went drifting and
swimming down stream suddenly heard
the well-known cry, "Halt! 1t was the
British outpost, and soon / was in the
midst of friendly Englishmen. I recited
break the party which l had seen from
my window. After some persuasion I
prevailed upon their officer to forego
this plan, and, instead, to let me conduct
them, by detour, to the shiek's strong
hold. During my Incarceration 1 had
observed the extent Of their force, and
knew that the detachment I was with
could easily carry the place.
The though tof capturing my old enemy
added zeal to my undertaking. We
Immediately set out. Swimming our
horses across the stream we arrived in
the rear Of the Persian citadel at day
light. The assault, being totally unex-
pected, was completely successful. The
shcik, however, fought like a tiger and
succeeded in rallying around him a few
Of his guards: I endeavored to make
render, but the confusion and tumult
were at first too great. Finally suc-
ceeded in reaching him, and through
one Of the captured guards summoned
him to surrender, rs his ''game was lost"
At this he gave one quick and nervous
glance around. He turned to flee, but
found himself bafiled on all sides Pr
coiling Il step or two, he raised his hand
to his mouth. Then, in the Persian di-
alect, he exclaimed: 1.-THE king is never
taken-he is mat" and fell dead at my
feet.
Bending over the corpse, saw at once
the cause Of his death. On one of his
fingers was Il ring with hollow SEAL
From this it was that he imbibed the
poison. Craven on the seal of the ring
was problem strangely i'll keeping with
the wears tragic end. It was in five
moves-black to play and force white to
mate.
The place was soon sacked and fired.
AS soon as could, l fastened in quest
of the yelled lady who had given me the
key move to escape. found her safely
concealed in the very tower in which I
had been confined. When our party
withdrew, she went with us. From her
| learned that she was the daughter of
Spanish marine, and that her name
was Emilia Naliente. Her father, she said,
was of an adventurous skirt, constantly
making perilous voyages to distant lands.
While on a cruise to Bombay, their YES
sci had been wrecked in the gulf OF
Oman. Of all on board she was the only
one saved. The shcik, from whose
hands she and myself had just escaped,
had taken her from the friendly tribe
in whose midst she found herself after
her rescue from the wreck. Like me,
she had been helda prisoner to amuse
him at chess. Our fortunes were 50
singular and so like, and the circum-
stances under which we were brought
together seemed to have so much of
fatality, that we were not long together
before we loved.
So the "fettered knight" and "moble,l
queen" were we'd.
