The Housekeeper's Expense Book.

e. W. B., in New York Evening Post
A confding correspondent asks these ques-
tons: DO you keepa housekeeping expense
book?' and DO you think that it pays to
keep one?' The last question is one that we
of discussion, and a great many pros and
useless expenditure of time and book. Our
table was not an extravaganza one. There are
certain staple articles of food which long use
had rendered essential to our inward satisfac-
ton; these we would have anyway, at what
ever cost so what would be gained by having
these ever-recurring items set down day by
day in a book? The other party, like
Plato, reasoned, and well, that even if
it did not lead to economy, nothing would
be lost by the operation, and that 1T would
be a satisfaction to know Just where the
money went, which certainly went some
where every year; and then it is always a
good thing for woman to be able to keep
accounts in legible, straightforward way.
So the blank book was bought; it was at first
a kind of a bette noIre, or terror. 1t made
startling announcements How could it be
possible, we asked ourselves for a small
family to consume so many pounds OF butter
and sugar in a week? That little book did
lead to economy. There was more thought
given to the details of demand and supply
in the household, and corresponding gain,
and then the book seemed almost a necessity.
There is, of course, nothing beautiful in
close economy in itself; but when by practis-
ing it one gains the means to crafty high
tastes and to exercise charity, it is no longer
the delight of small souls alone.

WASHINGTON, Sept 6.-The State of Illinois
claims per cent OF the cash value of lands
located by military land-warrants in the
State and in April last procured from the
United States Supreme Court a preliminary
rule to show cause why writ of mandamus
should not issue against the Commissioner
of the General Land-ofice in favor of the
State for that amount, estimating the lands
at 81 25 per acre. Acting Secretary Joslyn
has referred the order to the Attorney
general, requesting that the proper officer of
the Department OF Justice be instructed to
notice the proceedings at the October term,
and make such an answer as may be required
in behalf of the defendant.

rears of Trouble with the Indians.

CHEYENNE, wy. r., Sept. 6-The stock men
of northern Wyoming believe there is grave
danger of hostlities the coming fall from
rowing bands of Crows Sioux, Cheyennes,
Shoshones Bannocks and eros Ventres,
who are off their reservations
hunting by permits of Indian
agents. There are no buffalo and nothing
but small game in the country. The In
dams had killed thousands of cattle in the last
three years. The stock men have had horses
stolen, and been robbed of food, and there
is talk of organizing and driving the Indians
back to their reservation. Agents are sus-
pected of dishonesty and leaving the Indians
to starve or steal.

THE sTAR-ROUrE JURY.
A Charge that Acquittal Was Procured by
Direct Bribery.

Charge that Acquittal Was Procured by
Direct Bribery.
Washington Special.
For some days it has been whispered about
this city that sensation was yet in store for
the public in relation to the recent star
route trials While many con ectures have
been INDUCED, it has not been definitely
known till to-day what the precise character
of the probable revelations was. 1t is now
ascertained that the acquittal of the princi-
pals was secured by direct bribery and a
wholesale corruption of the jury. Whatever
has been said Of these cases, it has been
hitherto conceded that the last jury was an
honest jury and reached in an honest way an
honest verdict AS time elapsed, however
the jury has not wholly escaped suspicion.
There is good authority now for the
assertion that the second jury was
tempered with in an even more fragrant
and outrageous manner than was the first.
Evidence on this point has been quietly
gathered, and the chain woven link by link
until it is strong enough, it is alleged where
with to hang the guilty. At least three of
the jurors are believed to be involved In
one particular case, it is alleged, the 60
between, who acted in the matter APP
preached the controlling spirit OF the jury
bent on this infamous errand. The juror
promptly rejected the advances, and declared
that he would deal with no middleman, but
must negotiate alone with the principal
He would have nothing to do with it, except
with the principal himself. 1t is stated
that Dorsey was duly informed of
this determination on the part of
this juror, and though much against his
will, submitted to an interview. The man
that arranged that interview is the man who
has collected this evidence. Big money was
demanded and paid, and the controlling
stock in the s+ar-route jury thus secured
The evidence of this wholesale purchase is
now being prepared, and will be laid before
the grand jury on its next meeting This
will not be until October 8. The amounts
paid each juror are known. In some cases
the bride exceeded the amount of the fees
paid the government officers which have
been so freely criticised as extravagant. This
revelation will astonish a good many peo-
pie, and illustrate how futile are the efforts
of the government to secure convictions in
such important cases in the District of
Columbia

A writer in the Scientific American, in
treating of the question. gives simple plan
by which any one can rid his premises of
rats, and keep the vermin away permanently.
He says: 1--WE clear or premises of these de-
testable vermin by making whitewash yellow
with copperas, and covering the rafters and
stones in the cellar with it. In every crevice
in which a rat may tread we put the crystals
of copperas and scatter the same in the cor
ners Of the floor The result was perfect
stampede of rats and mice Since that time
not football of either rat or mouse has been
heard about the house. Every spring a coat
OF yellow wash is given the cellar as a puri-
fer, as an exterminator and no typhoid
dysentery, or fever attacks the family" Now
that the Asatic cholera is said to be spread
ing, it is we'll to use every precaution.

Beecher and the Californians.

SAN FRANcIsco, Sept 6.-The trustees of
Plymouth Congregational Church agreed to
pay Henry Ward Beecher 81, 400 for his four
lectures in this city. Judging by the audi
ences of the two first lectures the trustees
will lose money. Beecher is not popular
here, as in former utterances on the Chinese
question he diverted the sympathies of
the people of this coast from him,
and in published interview to-day
on the same subject he expressed
opinions which will tend to increase his I'M
popularity. He says the treatment that the
Chinese have received on this coast is shame
full and ridiculous. While all the rest of the
world is adopting the most liberal measures
in the matter of freedom, and persons go
and come without restraint, here is little
strip of Western country insisting upon the
narrow and selfish policy OF exclusion which
policy even China itself has long since aban-
douad

eral of the Marine Hospital Service received

of the board of health at Pensacola, stating
that the house-to-house inspection had been
discontinued, and reporting the fever get
ting worse at the navy-yard, there having
been six deaths in the last twenty-four hours.
He stated also that he was improving the
Gordon around the navy-yard wherever he
could. Senator German, of Maryland,
and a committe of the board of trade of
Baltimore, visited the office of the Surgeon
general of the Marine Hospital Service, this
morning, to ask that vessels bound for Balti-
more be allowed to pass the quarantine at
the capes and be quarantined twenty miles
below Baltimore. DIR. Hamilton told them
that the quarantine at the capes had been
established at the request of the municipal
authorities of Baltimore, and if the latter in
dorsed the request of this delegation he
would lay the matter before the Secretary OF
the Treasury; otherwise he declined to have
anything to do with making the change.

Terrible Experience in a Storm.

BosToN Sept. 6.-The steamer Lampert
which was caught in the terrible storm of
last week IF the coast of Newfoundland has
arrived here for repairs The steamer car
lied a large number OF cattle. Great seas
swept the decks, carrying away 1870 out of
ITO cattle aboard, and badly iniuring num-
Der of the crew. Second officer Jones had
a collar-bone broken. William Moran, who
had charge of the cattle, describes the scenes
that night as terrible. The waves were tre-
mendous in size Sweeping over the ship
they would lift a great portion of
the cattle-pens on their crests, hold
them for moment and then hurl them,
with their living contents, with awful vio-
lence to the deck, and the next wave would
carry off the bleeding and dying animals in
the twinkling OF an eye. The live stock went
over the side of the ship by dozens, and by
morning all that remained numbered forty,
of which four have since died, leaving but
thirty-six out of 10 cattle taken out of Balti-
more only two weeks ago. During the storm
all the steamers boats were either carried
away or disabled the cabin sky-light stove
in, and the cabin flooded, a portion of the
bulwarks and part of the poop wheel carried
away and other damage suffered On Thurs
day morning the storm abated somewhat
but the heavy sea made the vessel roll and
pitch almost as much as during the preced-
ing night
