Hon. John A. Andrew. Boston, Mass:
My Dear Sir--It is beyond doubt that the
revolutionists have determined to take forcibie
possession of the government at Washington

traced TO suggestions from this quarter. Es-
peclally abstain from mentioning me, you
would deprive me of the ability OF obtaining

The Feeling among the People.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 26.-The Timess Gala
tin special says; The day in GalIatin has been
quiet one, marked only by discussion of
the status OF the Frank James case
The impression is general and
growing that Dick Liddelrs tes-
timony given yesterday will prove clincher.
Dicks story has been confirmed as to events
in Tennessee by witnesses from that State.
1t is generally considered that the State is
making out a strong case The defense will
make a strenuous effort to break down Lid
dells testimony when their turn comes.
James received good many callers at the Jail
to-day, and the belief is positive that Frank
really intended giving up train roebing, and
was earnest in seeking an honest livelihood
near Nashville. The capture of Bill Ryan
alarmed the gang, and having Tit out" as
Dick Liddell expressed it, Jesse undoubtedly
persuaded Frank to go to the old business.
Hark luck at farming may also have had
influence.

Cured by the Maidstone,

Terre Haute Express, 2sth.
On Friday afternoon a Mr.. Padgett and
wife, accompanied by their niece, child of
eight years, arrived in this city from Wash
ington, Ind, and went to the residence of
Mrs. Taylor, Nc. $50 North Ninth street.
Their mission here was to have Mrs. Taylor
apply her maidstone to the child, which was
supposed to have been bitten by mad dog.
The child was the possessor of a small dog, a
great pet About a week ago the dog went
away, but returned in couple of days. The
little girl was very anxious about her pet,
not knowing where it was, and when she
saw it ran to play with it. The dog, always
kind before, sprang at her and bit her in
many places, nearly tearing the clothing off
and the dog was beaten off. 1t was noticed
that it frothed at the mouth
and ran around in circle. 1t
was concluded that the dog was mad, and it
was killed A physician was called and the
wounds cauterized Some one mentioned
the Terre Haute maidstone, and it was de-
termined to bring the little girl to this city.
The little ones hands and arms we're almost
black from cauterization. Mrs. Taylor
scraped the flesh above one of the wounds
till the blood flowed. The stone was then
put on and bandaged to the arm. In an
hour the bandages were removed, but the
stone was still adhering. The bandages were
again put on. The stone was applied little
after o'clock on Friday morning. and ad-
hered till 10 o'clock in the evening. The
virus drawn from the arm soaked through
two thick nesses of cloth. After the stone
dropped off it was placed in warm water and
thoroughly cleaned. the bottom of the basin
being covered with virus. After it was
cleaned it was applied again, but would not
adhere The child was pronounced cured,
and was taken home yesterday morning.

THE CINCINNATI EXPOSITION.
The Gorgeous Display Being Prepared for
the Opening Days.

CINCINNATI, Aug 26.--The annual exposi-
ton in Music Hall, and the two buildings
connected with it, built expressly for such
purposes. begins on Sept 5 and continues
until Oct. I. The character of the exhibition
is already determined, placing it high in the
list OF these successful displays. Given here
almost without interruption since 1869 they
have from the first been affairs conducted by
men whose only motive is zeal for the public
good, and whose only pay is public APP
proval. The expenses are guaranteed by
public subscriptions, and no dividends are
due to anybody. This method has
been found to be satisfactory in every
way. The full capacity of the great
buildings has been already taken by exhib-
itors. Notable features of the coming ex-
position will be the display of the manufac-
turing industries, machinery and art. In
the latter much space will be given to decor
alive art. The opening days will be made
attractive by the efforts of the order of Gin
cinnatus, secret organization formed for
the purpose of presenting pag eants similar
to those of Rex in the Mardi Ciras festivities,
Rex will be in attendance, and will be met
on the river and conducted to the Exposition
on Sept. 5, with royal procession, and both
his Majesty and Cincinnatus, with their bril-
liant courts, will be present at the opening
addresses. On the night of September the
Cincinnatus pageant, comprising twenty
four cars or floats, will pass through the
streets. Its subject will be announced the
day before. 1t is claimed to be a triumph in
display.
