Why General Drums Daughter Was Called
Blossom on Her Wedding Cards.
Washington Letter Pittsburg Dispatch.
There is bit of history associated with the
given name of Acknowledgement Drums
daughter; now the wife of Lieutenant Henry
J. Hunt, of arctic fame which has been re-
called in connection with her wedding cards.
They bore the name Blossom, "by which the
young lady has always been known, whereas
she was christened plain Henrietta Marga-
ret" At the breaking out of the war General
Drum was stationed in California and was an
intense Union men. Mrs Drum was a
Southern lady, and all her family except
Judge Morgan, who is now minister to Next
CO, entered the Confederate service 1t was
one of the trying cases where families were
divided in arms against each other. Mrs.
Drum was never heard to murmur, however,
trusting the cause which her husband be-
lieved was right. In 1862 the young lady
who has reigned belle here for the past
two winters was born, and, being fair was
called by her mothers friends Cotton
Blossom" The idea seemed more signifi-
cant than at first when it was made to
refer to the little ladys fair skin and they
took advantage of it to make a hit
at the Generals staunch Unionism Califor-
mia did not lack for Southern sympathizers,
who could not understand why General
Drum sh ould not resign his commission, like
so many other West Pointers. and go with
the South, to which he was SO closely attach
ed by family relationship In this mood
they sent large numbers of presents of silver
cups gold spoons and other souvenirs all
inscribed Cotton Blossom" So the girl
grew up sturdy Union girl and the name OF
Blossom" chung to her until, ripening to a
fascinating society belle. the term did not
seem out of place long after its origin was
forgotten.

Returns.
DUBLIN, July 2.-Healy, Parnelite, tri-
umphed in the county Monaghan election.
There was great confusion during the count
ing of the votes. After the official announce

made in the count The mistake
was corrected, and Healy finally
credited with 2,796 votes. At
Monaghan, this evening, Healy addressed
large crowd of people, and was received
with great enthusiasm. He said landlord
ism had been trampled under foot.
The election represented the demand
of Ulster for speedy reform in the land laws
He had little doubt that before many wears
every farmer in ireland would be the owner

THE CHOLERA ADVANCING
One Hundred and Twenty Deaths at
Damietta Yesterday.
Cases in Alexandria, Tanrah, Mansourah
and Other T0wns-PreeautiOns
in Europe.
THE CHOLERA
Still Gaining Ground in Egyptian Towns
Sketch of Damietta.

Sketch of Damietta.
ALEXANDRIA, July 1.-The number of
deaths from cholera at Damietta, yesterday,
was 141. There were also fourteen deaths at
Mansourah, and five at Port Said on Sunday,
from the same disease.
A death at Alexandria is suspected to have
been from cholera.
1t is decided in Cyprus to allow no refu-
gees from Egypt to land because of a lack OF
quarantine stations.
Damietta Is a considerable town on the
eastern estuary of the Nile, which enters the
Mediterranean about five miles beyond the
Nile proper. 1t is connected by railways
with Cairo, which is 113 miles to the south
west and with Alexandria, about an equal
distance in a westerly direction.
Although a bar at the river mouth limits
the navigation to vessels of not more than
sixty tons burden, there are large number
of small vessels which carry on considera-
BILE trade along the coast and with Greece.
The exports consist principally of rice, dried
fish, dates, hides, bones; rags, linseed and
beans.
The existing town is over six hundred
years old, but before its foundation a city of
the same name stood about four miles
to the south. This town-anciently called
Tamiathis-formed Egypt's chief eastern bull
more than once stormed and taken. 1t was
burned by st. Louis in the unfortunate sixth
crusade, but rebuilt on its present site by
Mamlouk Sultan Beybars, who at the same
time closed the river against Frankish ships
by sinking stone-laden barges across its
mouth. The present population of the town
is estimated at $500, chiefly native Moslems,
with few SyrianS and Levantine Greeks.
Mansourah is an old town on the right
bank of the Damietta branch of the Nile, and
has population of 10000 1t is the capital
of the province of Dahkalieh, and connected
by railways with Cairo. Alexandria and
nearly all parts of the Delta, also with Lake
Menzaleb, thirty-seven miles of, by canal
which is navigable half the year. The chief
trade staple OF the town is cotton, but much
sail-cloth and other linen fabrics are manu-
featured here.
1t was at Mansourah that st. Louis was de-
feated by the Ssrscens in 1850, and tradition
still points to an old ruin as his place of i'm
prisonment until he was released on pay
ment of a heavy ransom and the surrender
of Damietta.

PARIS, July 2-The Comte de Paris, the

1t is stated that Royalist meeting is to be
held tomorrow, when documents brought
by messenger from Count de Chambord will
be read to the assemblage. A messenger is
expected to reach Paris tonight. Latest adj
vices from Frohsdortf state that hope for re-
covery of the Count is increasing.

EX-SPEAKER RANDALL.
His Refusal to Allow the Democrats to Fill
buster Over the Electoral Count
Letter in New York Herald

Letter in New York Herald
One of Mr. Randalls most intimate friends,
in speaking OF this matter says: Had
Speaker Randall permitted the House to fill
buster over the disputed vote of Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina, and the result
OF the electoral vote had not been reached
until after noon of March 4, would that
have seated Mr. Tilden in the. presidential
chair? Not any more than it would have
placed Mr.. Hayes there; it would have left
the country without President or Vice
president and who can imagine what then
would have followed? Again, flibustering
was more certain to work to the injury of
Mr. Tilden than to Mr.: Hayes, and every
principle OF party consideration, as well as
the performance OF solemn duty, demanded
of Mr. Randall rigid compliance with the
law upon the subject, and no man will ever
be made to suffer for obeying the law"
A distinguished lawyer of Pennsylvania, a
gentleman who expected to be a member OF
Mr. Tilden's cabinet and who was at Mr.
RandalPs side during the greater part of the
time the subject of the electoral vote was
under consideration, says when the grave
responsibilities imposed by the electoral
commission act were thrust upon Speaker
Randall he felt that a wisdom greater than
that of man was requisite under the great
ordeai-he knew that Divine wisdom was
neceSsary-and walking into the Sneakers
private room, Mr.. Randall closed the door
behind him, and there solitary and alone.
communed with his Maker-he called upon
the God of nations to aid in guiding him
aright-and from the moment Samuel j.
Randall returned from that communion with
the great Master he never swerved hairs
breadth in the performance of his duty, and
no criticism, however unjust it may be, can
ever injure him in the minds of the Ameri-
can people, who will take the trouble to re-
view tins whole subject of the electoral com

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journar
The Shelbyville Democrat thinks Superin-
tendent Robins is giving our city over to the
Republicans. The order-loving portion of
our citizens think he has surrendered it to
the bummers, the allies of hell and the
devil and to the liquor-sellers. He is refusing
to enforce the little and the only law that
can give the people any safety from the
vicious element of mankind whose time for
printing themselves with that which makes
them devils, that they may prowl about to do
their masters work of robbery, rapine and
murder is the hour when all honest and
law-abiding people are asleep. With him and
the police commissioners the wishes and in
terests of the saloon men are above the
wishes of the law abiding citizen. They ave
allowed TO violate the license law with i'm
punity every night and every Sunday, if
murder is the fruit; but he is very
brave in arresting every besotted vic
tim OF the saloons who happens
to be too drunk to get out
of the way of his men; but they dare not
close saloon at II o'clock for fear of a rep
rlmand from him. The patience of the peo-
pie may become so far exhausted, ere long
that they will conclude to try what power
there is in law to compel those men who
have taken an oath to enforce the Sunday
holiday and IL o'clock law, to do it, or take
the consequences suffered by other law
breakers. There is believed to be a law
above the police commissioners.

More About the Journey from Salt Lake Ier te Boston. --o
 - -5--- BogToN, September {.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND UeUHMR:
 |, Back we-come after sovex seven thousand
 miles of railroad travel to dear old Boston.
 It crowds the memory to think of all our do- ings since August 4. In my last I hastily re-
 viewed our visit to Salt Lake City. Before quitting that polygamoua nest we took a ride to the great Salt Lake, distance nearly eight. cen miles, where fully one hundred of the Sir Knights and ladies enjoyed bath. Swim
 ming in Salt Lake ia done under difficulty.
 The density of the water is so great that
 one's feet rise entirely out and to attempt
 keeping them under is tiresome, very After
 many vain efforts we all float on the back and
 navigate by use of the hands. To those who have had no experience it may seem story,
 but the truth is that you cannot sink, wheth. CT Q swimmer or not. This bath excursion was rendered by Sir Knight Silva, mer- chant of Ogden, and the journey from Ogden to Salt Lake City and return was complimentary from the Union Pacific. Our journey from Ogden home was the pleasantest part of our long journey. Our breakfast at the Desert House. Green River station, August 29. will long be re- membered as real treat. Dinner at Raw l Ins, with plenty of venison and prairie chicken, but all of the eatables are brought
