Tho Rag. FOR white Pl"mes.

from the PhiladelYhia Press.
Yes, it has ioue our business some
good that Colonel Ing-r.ol named
Blaine The Plumed Knight" said
inrpe dealer in military equipments
and campaign goods yesterday. 1t
has done us good, bscause hundreds of
clubs are going TO wear plumes III their
helmets and caps, and there is likely
to be- big busin ess in this single item.
"No, there went be many ostrich
feathers used for plumes. Dc you
think that any man is going to pay
for q feather TO pat In his cap the big
price of from $fi to 80. and then expose
1t to the smoke and fiames OF oil
torches? There won't he many, you
NAV be sure. A few officers may bave
them. but they will be all. Here's the
feather we will sell the most OF. IL
comes from tho prairie chicken Just
the thing the feather busters are made
of. They will come in WHITE, or in the
three co. .ors. red, white and blue COM
bined, and will sell for 81 dozen In
large quantities. The West will be
flooded with them -,
/" Another popular plume will be
made out of worsted, cotton or Blk,
fastened on q slender wire and then
attached to a stick. They will be col.
ored as the purchasers may want, and
will be sold very largely. The cotton
will cost ST. 70 per dozen the worstesi
IA and the silk S. and 81. Some jnte
plumes will sell for SI.5O per dozen
and hair streamers will go for 81. The
sales are only just beginning; fhila'
ldelphia will make rs many as any
other city. but New York will have
the honor of selling them, not only
her own. but even those that We
make"

LONDON, July 16.-D"spite the strenu-
ous efforts of the German authorities TO
suppress the facts, 1t is evident that
there is a very substantial basis for the
general belief that desperate effort
was made to murder the Emperor and
other august persoDages at the inauRn-
ration Of the Germania monument in the
Niederwald last September. The first
hint of the conspiracy became public
when the workmeu, who were comp.a-
ting the ornamented approaches to the
monument this Spring, found a small
quantity Of dynamite concealed in a
drsin-pipe. The discovery producei =
great sensation, and government COM
mission, consisting Of military officers
and engineers, was appointed to investt.
gate. From time to time fragments Of
reports of their discoveries leaked ont.
notwithstanding efforts made to keep
their proceedings secret, and it became
known that they had found traces OF %
mine of explosives directly under the
road traversed by the Emperor, which
might have blown the entire cortege
skyward, except for the fortunate acci-
dent that the mine had become satura-
ted by heavy rain storm, which, pre-
ceded the unveiling.
The facts have been made public
through q confession which the Stutt-
gardt Staats Anzeiger obtained from ono
Of the conspiratars imprisoned in that
city. The chief prisoners are two an
archists named Rumpsch and Kechl.r,
and the confession was made by the
former. He admits that there was q
plot having for its object the terrorizing
Of all Europe by the murder of the EN-
peror, the Crown Prince, Chancellor
Bism arck and other great personazes
in attendance upon the ceremony.

Opnos,ux NEGRO Educatiou.

ATHENS, Ca, July 16.- The great
educational centre of Georgia is the
State University, which numbers
among its trustees such men az Senator
Brown, Governor Mcdaniel and Gencr-
al Toombs. The exercises of commence
ment week, which are now going on,
always bring together an assemblage
embracing the wealth, tho beauty aod
the ruling power Of the State. AT such
times educational plans are the topic Of
discussion, and from the character OF
the men present their discussions ara
always Of unusual Importance. With
this understanding of the local situation
the following paragraph from the BAN
ner Watchman, the daily paper of this
place, will be read with unusual inter-
est :
"It Is to be hoped that the next
House will kill the Public Educational
bill passed by she Senate. Educate the
negroes of the South and you destroy
the only labor of our farmers. Give
Sambo smatteriug of hook learning
and long linen dnster and he at once
develops into a first-clsss vagaboud,
whose ultimate doom is the penitenti-
ary."

Butler VIII Stand.

CHICAGO, July 16.-Information has
been received from close friends OF
General Butler by b. II. Shively, Secre-
tary of the Anti nj onopolist Committee,
dispelling all doubts regarding General
Buffers candidacy for the Presidency
on an Independent ticket and stating
definitely and positively that he will
run. Mr. Shively, who is stopping in
this city, expressed to day the most alb
solute certainty thai General Butler
would be candidate wi h the endorse
ment of the Green hackers, Anti mo
nopolists and probably the laboriDg
men. General Buffers refusal at pre.-
ent to make public statement, Mr..
Shively says. is prompted by a desire
to first see what will be done by the
Convention OF labor representatives to
be held in Chicago. July 30.

A young lady, whose name is suppos-
ed Go have been Bertha Perkins, died at
the City Hospital in st. Louis on Mon
day, from childbirth, brought on by
medicines given her by doctor before
she was sent TO the hospital. She had
been nployed as a servant In family
on L,c . av' nus, and, while her man
ners indi, ated that she belonged to q
higher class of society, she would never
talk OF her former life. Before leaving
for the hospital she burned batch of
letters and other articles that might
have. thrown some light on her past his
tory. The only clue left, and that she
took to tue hospital with her, was a
Catholic prayer-book, with the inscrip-
ton on the iy-leaf: To Miss B. Per-
kins, from Hugh Boyd. Milwaukee.

Miss Perkins was about "a years old,
a pronounced blonde, and very hand

WASHINGTON, July l6.-Mr A. A.
Sargent, ex-Minister to Germany, is In
this city. In An interview with the
Press correspondent he said that since
his arrival home he had examined the
political situation closely, and he was
confident of the election of Blaine and
Logan. Cleveland" he said, twas an
expediency candidate. He was nomi-
mated in the belief that he could carry
New York State. The Southern Demo
Gratis had no candidate, but they were
willing to vote for any man who could
carry New York, and, consequently,
voted for Cleveland. I fear our Demo-
cratic friends will be badly fooled, for
In my opinion Cleveland will be de-
feated In New York by as large ma
jority as he carried 1t for Governor. As
q Republican, I would rather the Demo-
Gratis had nominated Cleveland than
any other of the gentlemen before the
Convention. Leaving aside Tammany,
which i5 o very uncertain quantity,
anyhow, / think there Is enough oppo
sition to Cleveland in his own State to
give it to the Republicans by a very
large majority"
Speaking of the Independent move
ment, Mr.. Sargent said - "It Is not al
formidable as 1t was thought to be. Il
has dwindled down now to few indi
viduals. There is no Independent
movement of any consequence. Mr.
Sargent thinks Blaine and Logan will
carry all the Pacific Coast States. II,
