Ex-senator BarDum's intimafion that

does to the colored school trustees recent
~ appointed by Governor Cameron. The
South it believes would go solid against
such nomination. The State is unable
to explain how the Northern Democratic
leaders can show so much disregard for
the opinions of the Southern people as
even TO mention Butler in connection with
the Presidency. Mr.. Barnum has evident

more striking TO the stranger than the
contrast between the order and regularity

the disorder, slovenliness. and filth of

Lieut.. Col. Thomas L. Casey, who
was charged with the execution of the
resolution of Congress providing for the
erection of a suitable monument over
the grave Of Thomas j Jefferson at 1T Month

work. The grounds were surrounded
by a wooden fence, and the old monu-

by the weather and disfgured by relic
hunters. The work just completed con-
sists in the grading, seeding and sodding
of the surface, the erection of a new
monument over the grave of Mr.. Jeffer-
son, and the building of a strong and
handsome fence about the burying-
ground. The monument consists first
of two foundation courses-the lower 12
feet square and the next feet square,
and each 9inches in height-which cover
the grave Of Mr.. Jefferson and four of
his kindred who are buried at his head
and feet and on either side. These
foundation stones are surmounted by
die, 4 feet square at the base and 8 feet

obelisk feet 2 inches square at the base
and u feet II inches high. The total
height of the monuments above the ground

Cities Warmer than the Country.

Those who happen to live at a little
distance from the heart of the city must
frequently have noticed q lack of accord
between readings of their own standard
thermometers and the published obser-
vations of the signal service observer of
their locality. The reason Of the discord
is plain, viz: the perturbing action of
the heat which the city emits; and how
ever gratifying it may be to the outsider
to find himself superior to the govern
ment observers, it is very little to the
credit of the weather bureau that this
particular source of error was not long
since recognized and avoided.
The remarks Of Professor Whitney on
this subject, as applied to observations
made at London, are pertinent and con-
vincing. He says:
cit is a well-known fact that cities are
considerably warmer than the more thin
ly inhabited country, otherwise under
similar climatic conditions. Statistics
prove this to be true; and there could
be no doubt that such would be the eff
feet Of an immense aggregation of pop
ulation within a limited space, even if
there were no statistics bearing on this
question. Many millions of tons of coal
are burned in and about big cities dur
ing every year, and the whole mass of
brick Of which the city is built is heated
Turing the entire winter, and more or
ess in the summer, many degrees above
jhe natural temperature. There can be
10 question that conditions such as here
vitiate all observations made in
II near large cities, with view to the
Of any possible secular
of the temperature.

Household Hints and Helps.

Oatmeal cookies combine many good
qualities, and will be relished by chill
dren. Make them just like an ordinary
sugar cooky, using two-thirds oatmeal
and one-third wheat flour.
If the family is very small, and large
loaves of bread are likely to become
stale before they can be eaten, it is a
good plan to make two little loaves for
one tin. They will keep their shape all
right, and will not run together or adj
here any more than rolls or biscuits do.
Apple custard pie should be baked
with an under crust only. The filling is
delicious if made OF one pint of milk,
one pint of smooth apple sauce, well
sweetened, three aggs; flavor with lemon
or with a little cinnamon. This will
make two small-sized pies or one very
large one.
A little time and trouble used in re-
moving the seeds from grape saucg- will
pay a large interest. After the grapes
have cooked sufficiently so that the seeds
separate readily from the sauce through
a colander, then with a spoon remove
the seeds as far as possible, put the
skins back with the juice to cook until
they are soft, and skim off any seeds that
rise to the top.
Sauce for common fruit pudding is
nice made of one cup of sugar, an even.
tablespoonful of flour, and one of butter.
Mix to a cream, pour boiling water over
this, and stir until there are no Jumps;
then put it on the stove, and keep it
there until it is cooked, say, for ten or
even fifteen minutes. Flavor with nut
meg, and put in a large spoonful of mo-
lasses to give it a rich brown color.

They Kick Him Ont.

Bob Murphy. the three-card monte
man who was convicted in Washington
was interviewed in Jail. Washington,
said he, sis the only place where they
make monte larceny. Why, do YOU
know how they do in New York? If a
man loses his money in a monte OF
bunco joint there and makes kick they
fire him out on the street, and then if he
makes a row they turn him over to the
police for creating a disturbance.
"Then they must have the protection
of the detectives and police ?" interjected
the reporter.
"Oh, yes. They do business with
them, and they come round every week
and get their whack."
Suppose the man who is feeced
complains to the police, after being ar
rested, that he has been swindled out
his money, what then ?"
"He don't get any sympathy for being
a sucker; that's all. "

A Thief to be Pitied.

A wife and mother who was examined
in court in New York city and locked
up on a charge of having stolen largely
from her employer seems to have had a
peculiarly unfortunate lot. She has a
drunken husband, who, pretending he
could not obtain work, has been idle
eleven years. All this time the wife has
been obliged to support herself, her four
children, and her husband; yet the
drunken brute TO whom she was tied
seemed to want also that she should keep
him in money with which to buy rum,
and as she could not earn enough to pay
for all necessities she yielded to his sug-
gestion that she should rob her employ
er. She says her family got little of the
proceeds of the stolen goods, most of
the money having been spent for liquor.
Finally, she refused to steal any more
or to support her worthless husband, so
she went with her children to live with
her mother. Immediately afterward
her employer was informed of her crime.
and there is reason to suppose that her
husband was the informant. Imagina-
tion is not needed to invest the life of
such a woman with painful interest.
industrious, and disap-
pointed, her natural and legal protector
become an incubus and an object of con-
tempt, she has probably suffered a hun
lred times more than the law can make /
ler do, and if the informant was really

be greater than she deserves.

over it, and at times the victims think
about il, when such a case as the above
is brought to their minds, but they don't
stop. AS Josh Billings has said, "When
a man gets to going down hill, all hades
seems creased for the occasion" We
have no doubt that if the honest senti-
ments of the man who was laid at rest,
few days since, from the hospital,
could be known, the advice he would
give would make the hair stand on the
head of many an able man of his pro
fession, as well as other professions of
educated men, and certainly his advice
to boys would be, ''Never look at the
stuff"

Merely a Moderate Drinker.

A verdict was reached in the United
States Circuit Court, in the case of the
Muskegon National Bank of Muskegon,
Mich, against the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company of Milwaukee,
Wis, to recover $4,000 on a policy
taken out by the bank on the title of
Erwin G. Comstock, its former cashier.
This was to cover Comstock's indebted
ness. The question turned upon whether
or not Comstock was a habitual drunk
ard. Comstock died in New York city
June2 80, 1881. When the bank demand
ed the insurance the company refused
to pay it on the ground that Comstock,
after the issue Of the policy, continued
to drink hard; also. that he died by his
own act, and had offered to return the
premium that had been paid. The
plaintiffs denied this, and claimed that
he was merely a moderate drinker. The
jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs
for 500, 500.
