RUMoR that Commissioner Fink had re-
signed was used by the bears in Wall street
with fairly good effect yesterday. Later it
was officially announced that the Baltimore
and Ohio had consented to restore rates on
east bound freights, and the announcement
that the commissioners resignation had been
withdrawn quickly followed. The matter
had sufficient effect on the market to givo
those who heard of it early chance to make
handsome profits.

THE democrats can easily find more mate
rial for presidential candidate than is
offered by Kentucky. Mr.. Watterson is
right. The sectional question ought to cut
no figure in tho matter whatever. The
country is entirely prepared to trust almost
any man to be the democratic candidate.

The Queen and Her son-in-Luw.

The Grand Duke Louis ~, of Hesse, whose
has caused great scandal in high circles has
turned up at Windsor castle. The explana.
tion of this unexpected turn in affairs is that
Queen Victoria has brought her son-in-law to
England to wean him from his bad assoca-
tions. The London gossips say he has been
for long time betrothed to tho Princess
Beatrice, and that this accounts for the great
interest taken by the royal family in the
passage of tho bill permitting a man
to marry his deceased wife's sister. The bill
has already got through the house of COM
mons, but it still has to run the gauntlet of
the house of lords, and the conservative
bishops are averse to any change in the law
that tends to lessen the popular respect for
ecclesiastical dogma. When the bill was
before the house of lords some two years ago
tho Prince of Wales availed himself of his
right to sit with the peers and cast his
vote in favor of it. The queen has settled
c 90 900 on her granddaughter, who was mar.
ried to the young Prince Louis of Battenberg
few days ago. Whatever may be the
failings of her son-in-law, the Grand Duke OF
Hesse it is quite evident that Queen Victoria
has not cast him off. She has provided
handsomely for his daughter, and it looks
very much as if she meant to keep him in
tho family by marrying him to her daughter
Beatrice if the consent of parliament can b(
| obtained.

Proceedings OF the Springer Committee
The house committee on expenditures in
the department of justice has decided that
to-day it will examine Mr.. Mitchell, tho
foreman of one of the grand juries which had
the star route cases under consideration. Tho
question of investigating Mr.. Kellogg was
further considered but the decision was
postponed until after the examination of Mr.
Mitchell. Several of the members of the
committee were opposed to entering upon the
Kellogg investigation unless instructed to
do so by tho house. Mr.. Milliken said he un'
derstood that Mr.. Kellogg would drop tho
matter if the committee concluded not to
consider ii,
The committee instructed the chairman to
inform Mr.. Kellogg that If his witnesses re-
mained in the city they would have TO do 30

ferred to were those brought here by Mr.
Kellogg before his recent trial, and afterward

IN entod with much severity upon the action
of tho United States supreme court in deny

common carriers for refusing to accord them
equal rights in the public conveyances. Tho
colored people have precisely tho samo
remedy they had before tho civil rights bill
was passed, namely, an action for damages.
Whenever colorod bishop, or any other

bill of 1874 the person wronged brought sui

Amusing the Baby.

Little babies are often tortured by
well meaning but incOnsiderate nurses
and friends. If they show any uneasi-
ness or nervousness, they are trotted
and bounced and jolted till at last, per-
hapS, they fall asleep from very ex-
haustion. How would grown people
love TO be ticklcd on the sOIes of their
feet: to be roughly clutched in the pit
of the stomach and shaken; to be tossed
to the ceiling, sometimes Just after a
hearty dinner; to have their cheeks
pinched and kissed by anybody who
happens to admire them?
Is it sure that the baby likes these
things? He cant speak TO OBJ ect if he
doesn't. To be sure ne laughs nervOusly
when tickled, but the laugh is almost
indisiinru shable froi-- a cry, and If
he becomes desperate, and sends forth
very audible protest, he is called
"CrosS.
Poor, much enduring baby! Your
father would defend himself against any
one who attempted to treat him as you
are treated. He considered himself in
suited and abused when tossed in a
blanket in his schOolbOy days. The
sickcuing sensation when dropping
from a height is supposed TO be more
agreeable to you than it was to him
then. Your mother counts it a bad
night when she dreams of falling down
from some high elevation.
Some young children do undoubt-
eddy enjoy rough play. They are of
the hardy, reckless Kind, who will be
endaugcring themselves continually as
they are growing up, and have number
less hair-breadth escapes recorded in
their histories. My plea is more es-
pccially IN behalf of the sensitive, deli
cate children, who are frequently eN-
cited and rendered wakeful by injudi-
cious strain upon the nervous system.
Such need the gentle exercise admins
tered by loving hands, which check
them ere pleasure becomes n WEAKNESS.
