AT the recent election to fill vacancies in
the French Academy. NJ. de Lesseps was prac-
tically without a rival, one vote only being
given TO the Able Petit, n permanent and
hopeless candidate; nevertheless the piercer
and no fewer than ten blank bulletins were
found in the ballot box, larger number than
has ever been known at the academy. The
conclusion is that these ten blank bulletins
were a prOtestation on the part of certain
members against the election Of NJ. de Les
seps, the objection against him being that he
is too much of a financier, and that he is likely
to take advantage of his election to start some
new speculation. The fact is that NJ. de Les
seps Is a veritable Gargantua in the matter Of
fattery; his appetite for notOrety is in
filed with paragraphs about himself, his wife
and his children.

Senator Harrison's Literary Bureau.

The literary bureau Of Senator Ben
Harrison, Of Indiana, is beginning to
show signs of activity. Circulars con-
tanning arguments why he should be NOM
mated for President by the Republicans
are making their appearance in newsDa-
per offices. The last circular says thatan
honest survey Of the field discloses but a
small number Of conspicuous candidates,
and reasons are advanced why nearly all
Of these candidates are not available.
The chief things mentioned in Gen. Har-
risOn's favor is that his patriot fOrefather
signed the Declaration of independence,
and that President Harrison, Of "Tippe-
canoe" fame, was his grandfather. 1t is
true that Gen. Harrison is a man Of a
good deal Of ability, and that he has
clean and honorable record; but there Is
nothing about the man and nothing
i'm his career that would excite the en-
thusiastic support Of even his own party.
He looks like a cold, calculating man and
il he IS not supremacy selfish his appear
ance is deceptive. He is not n friend Of
the Mississippi river improvement, and
his nomination would fall fiat in the upper
and lower Mississippi Valley. There are
plenty of prominent Republicans who
would make a better race than General
Harrison. POstmaster-General Gresham
Is a superior man in every way. Senator
Harrison's literary bureau is wasting its
time. The Republican party will not
nominate him.

The Idea that he VIII Not Seek a Re-
election Regarded as PrepOsterOus.
l see in many papers the announcement
that Senator Don Cameron is not, and will
not be, a candidate for reelection, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. Nonsensel Is there
anybody in Pennsylvania so foolish as to
believe that Mr.. Cameron would not be a
candidate for reelection if there was a
chance in his favor? If Don Cameron be-
comes not candidate, then you may be
sure he knows he could not be elected.
He owns the biggest private residence in
Washington. He has the money to keep
it up. On account of his bad health he
cannot 90 into active business, but his
mind must be occupied. A Senator is a
creature of great dignity and power,
with Just enough to do to give
the appearance of hard work, without the
fatigue. His wife is at once the most
beautiful and popular Of all the Senator's
wives, and she adOres Washington so
ciety. Considering all these things, is
Mr.. Cameron, think you, to go back to his
rough asher house in Harrisburg, front
ing the river, and sit down and nurse his
illness, with nothing to occupy his mind!
And is his brilliant wife to go to dull Har-
risburg, if she can help it? ''Not by a
large majority" as the actor, Florence,
saws: no, no. Mr.. Cameron viii come
back to the Senate. if he can be elected
next winter. Please don't forget to re-
member this.

PARsON MGREw's RIFLE.
A Preacher Who Rivals Carver and 30
gardus-SOme of His Feats.

A Preacher Who Rivals Carver and BO-
gardus-SOme of His Feats.
The Rev. w. L. McGrew, a young Meth
odist minister of Somerset county, says
the Pittsburg Post, is well known in
Western Pennsylvania. He is a native of
West Elizabeth, in this county. He has
been a member of the Methodist ministry
for probably twelve or fifteen years-may
be longer. 1t is not of his ability as a
minister, but Of his marvellous skill in
shooting that this brief article will treat.
Bogardus and Carver have never accom-
plished anything with shotgun or rifle
which Mr.. McGreW has not been able to du-
Dlicate: but he can teach them feats which,
whether they can execute them or not,
they have never attempted. One of these
is the breaking with repeating rifle of
two ordinary glass drinking goblets
thrown into the air together, before either
falls to the ground. He cuts one Of the
gOblets IN twain at the stem, lowers his
rifle to the hip to throw out the empty
shell and reload, and then breaks the
globe of the other. Another thing he does
is to shoot through the mouth of a pop
bottle thrown up in the air and knock
the bottom out. The bottle is thrown so
that at every revolution the mouth is pre-
Sented 10 nm. lie SnOOIS WIN TIHe
through the mouth and knocks the bot
tom out. One that is still more
difficult is to shoot with
repeating rifle two glass balls
thrown in opposite directions from
trap. At the county fair last fall at
Somerset he was invited to give public
exhibition of his skill. He consented to
do so, provided the event should not be
surrounded with any circumstances that
would detract from the dignity of his
calling. On that occasion he first broke
thirty single balls thrown from trap,
hitting every one at the first fire. Then he
tried his hand at fifteen double balls, and
broke every pair. OF the sixty balls he
did not miss one. All this was done with
a rifle. Ex-Gov. HOyt was witness Of
the exhibition, and pronounced it the
most phenomenal display of marksman-
ship he had ever seen.

The Lower Mississippi Valley
E,Innde.

Floods.
It looks very much as if the overflow in
the Lower Mississippi valley would equal
that Of 1sS2. The water is already almost
as high as it was that yesr, and the river
continues to rise. Quite a number Of
crevasses have occurred in the vicinity
Of Vicksburg and New Orleans, but 1t is
thought that they can be closed. The
levees are in much better condition than
they have been for many years, and it is
possible they may prove strong enough to
resist the floods. If the water goes
over them they will, Of course,
be swept away; and it looks now
as if it would 90 over them. If the levees
are broken as badly as they were in 1882
the loss viii be incalculable. 1t has cost
an immense sum toput the levees in their
present condition. The national govern
ment contributed a very large amount,
and counties, parishes and States con-
tributed a great deal more. If
they are partially destroyed again
it is very doubtful if the government Will
assist in rebuilding them. 1t is question
able whether the destruction Of the levees
would not retard the work Of improving
the river. a strong opposition would
probably spring up in Congress to the i'm
prOyement on the ground that it is impOs-
sible to maintain the levees, and as leYees
are necessary to carry out the plan Of i'm
provement the success Of the improve
ment is doubtful. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever. that the great floods Of 1882 will not be
repeated. In that year the estimated losses
were many millions Of dollars. 1t looks
now as if one Of the great problems Of the
future would be TO discover a way to pro-
tect the valleys OF the Ohio and Missis-
sippi from annual overflow.

WORSE THAN THE BLACK HOLE.
Women who Contract Disease in thu
Filthy Easement of the Treasury.

Women who Contract Disease in the
Filthy Easement of the Treasury.
Miss Sarah O'Neill, of Philadelphia, says
a Washington special to the Philadelphia
Times, was recently discharged from the
Treasury Department because she had
contracted sickness there and was no
longer able to perform the work allotted
to her. She appealed to Representative
O'Neill, of Missouri, and furnished a doc
tors certificate. which certified that the
woman had been employed in place fit
for no human being to work in. She had
been for some reason degraded from her
position as a clerk and compelled to work
in the sub-basementO Of the Treasury, where
moisture and filth and poisonous gases
reign supreme.
Mr.. O'Neill made a personal inYestiga-
these women working in place worse
than the Black Hole of Calcutta. Their
business was picking the sNeepings and
filth brought down from the upper floors
Of the Treasury. The sweepings contain
all sorts of filth, rotten fruit, tobacco
stumps, guilds, ETC., which, under the
warm, moist atmosphere Of the cellar,
emit an effluvia too powerful for any but
accustomed noses. Rats scamper here
and there, and the bugs and other creep
ing things hold perpetual circus in the
damp corners. O'Neill found one old lady
working in the place Of her daughter,
who was sick from this exposure. Every
emplOve, male and female, has frequent
spells of illness caused by the unhealthy
place. Mr.. O'Neill Will file the statement
of these people with the House Committee
on Labor and have the whole business in
vestigated.

A MATERIALIZED SPIRIT.

The Tricks of a Medium Exposed by n
Party of Gentlemen.
There is no end to the folly of the
credulous. says the Boston Advertiser of
the Sth inst. Those who have watched
the spread of the Undertaking. spirit
seances in this city during the last year
have had proof enough of this. Last night
Mrs. Bliss of 80 East Newton street be-
gan, as usual, by explaining that this
seance was her religion, and then fol-
lowed the usual jugglery. A figure in
white appeared, and then ''Little Billy
in dark nautical costume, and then an
other figure in white was very demon
stratiyely affectiOnate to some Of the sit
tiers. After a little time one of the
audience grew impatient and threw
his arms around the figure as
she danced up to him, cry
ing "Stay, oh stayl" The spirit %
struggled violently in a very leshly way
and half dozen OF the persons who were
managing the performance threw them
selves upon him and dragged him back.
The spirit % ran back into the cabinet
followed closely by some of the observers.
Matches were lighted, and blown out by
the confederates. The gas was stopped
up, but still more matches were. lighted
and another burner found. One Of the
gentlemen was collared and dragged out,
but he slipped back into the cabinet. The
medium was then on the floor with a stall
wart friend standing over her. Her shoes
were in the corner and her stOckinged feet
were visible. Her arms and neck were
entirely bare, but the muslin robe which
she had worn as a ghost was wrapped
round her waist and tucked under her.
Her dark dress she had caught up and
pinned around her shoulders. The cap
and little blue shirt front which she had
worn as BILLY were lying by her, half
hidden, but these and the shoes were
picked up and preserved by the investi-
eating party. Meantime, there was a
regular tussle outside, ending in the turn
ing of the little party out into the hall and
locking the door. Before they left the me-
dunn had succeeded in getting her dress
partly on, but was afraid to rise to show
her paraphernalia. Altogether" says
one who was present, sit was a complete
expose of a plain humbug. Doubtless
some persons will deny it. There is no
end to fools. But half a dozen or more
gentlemen saw the whole thing, and there
can be no doubt about it."
