Annexation Demanded.

BERLIN, Nov. 22.-!The German
government is credited with the
Intention of annexing severa! ISLANDS
of the Pacific ocean a. well as .
part of New Ginea.
The North German Gazette makes
q bitter attack upon English extern
sions which have been made in the
Pacific. It says the British High
Commissioner recently inflicted
mock sentence of eight days imprls-
onment upon tho pirates OF the
schooner Stanley who plundered
seversl German mercantile firms al
Lau9hred Islands and where, after
ma.sacreiDg . number OF natives,
took one hundred of them as slaves
to Queensland. The pretense OF
Austrians, says the Gazette, to nu'
manity, has no basis in fact and Ger
MANY is bound to insist upon the lm.
mediate annexation of unclaimed
islands IN New Guinea If only 1or
th.' purpose Of projecting the natives
from English Larbarities.

The valsntins Mystery.

Everything, 30 far ascan be learned
says the Rivsr Press, points to the
murder Of Valentine. Although
three weeks have elapsed since the
CRIME was supposed to have been
committed. nothing definite is yet
known. The party which went out
. day or two ago to search for the
body found evidence enough tn con-
vince them that q crime had been
committed, but darkness coming on
prevented . complete search. It was
to be commenced again to-day. At
or near the camp where StOner and
Valentine were known to have been
blood was found and marks indicat-
ing that . body had been dragged.
The missing mans tooth brush was
also found. The party on whom sus-
plcion is strongly fixed has not been
seen for several days. A horse be-
longing to Mr.. Lepley is reported IS
missing. Although this fact is not
proof positive, it Is presumptive evil
dence, following as closely as it does
the disappearance of the party sus-
pected.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 22.-The follow
Ing card is issued by Postmaster
General Hatton:
TO the Editor Of the Register, Bes
Aoines, zosOa: .
The evening papers contain q Dis
patch from Des Moines purporringfo
give the substance of letter Writfasn
by ]. 8. Clarkson, Of Iowa, member
OF the National Republican Commit.
tee, In which he says while I did DOT
issue the order in regard to keeping
open the New York postofflce On
election day the order was Issued by
an assistant, but by Mr.. Hatton's
order. This is wholly incorrect.
No officer Of the postoflce
department had any instructions
from me in regard to the order If
fecting the New York postoface On
election day. Equally incorrect il
the statement that the Democratic
chairman called my attention to the
law prohib' ting the closing of offices
on election day. / never, to my
knowlege, met Mr.. Barnum until
this evening, since reading the dis
patches, when I was introduced to
him by Senator Blair, of New Hamr-
shire. I never had q consultation
with any Democratic chairman
or any one else on the subject.
Equally incorrect is the
statement that I said to
q leading Democrat in Mount Pleas
ant or to anyone else during my re-
cent visit to Iowa, that / intended to
keep the New York post office open
on election day. The records Of the
show that the acting
poStmaster-general the night before
election telegraphed the postmaster
at New York to give his employees
"full opportunity to exercise the
right Of suffrage" and POST
master Pearson in published
interview says: i" Every man
in the post Office
had ample opportunity during the
time between the opening and close
of the polling places to deposit his
ballot in his own election district"
This matter does not seem to warrant
any further discussion, and shall re-
ceive no more attention at my hands.
do not want to believe that Mr..
Clarkson desires to purpose]y misrep-
resent me.
Respectfully,
FRANK HATToN.

Address Of 1ndo Pendonts.
BOSTON, Nov. 2l.-Ths text of the
address of the Independents of the
country, which was to be forwarded
to Governor Cleveland, has now been
printed. The following passage oc-
ours:
''They will uphold your admins
tratlon SO far and so long as it is
based upon the principles which
should underlie all political parties in
q government of and by and for the
people, and believing that an honest,
fearless opposition is as necessary to
free government as an able and Wig
orous administration itself, they will
not hesitate to oppose your admins
tration when it commits itself to
principles which they cannot up
hold"
The address was sent here from New
York for approval by the committee,
one hundred members of which Wig
orously. opposed it. They objected to
tho implied threat, urging that it
would be time enough to object to
the policy of Mr.. Cleveland when 1t
should be developed.

The art of Cooking is unknown
throughout New Hampshire, but it is
not too much to expect that its single

so. At the only inn, the visitor is re.

upon as ON the highroad to perdition

may study chemistry and acquire dis
tinction in the science; they may devote
themselves to hygiene with success, but
they will not be permitted to partake OF

said, that a lecturer on cookery would
by no means be out of place at Dart.

To CLEAN MARBLE.-Brush the dust
off with piece of chamois, then apply
with brush good coat of gum ara
bic, about the consistency Of thick mu-
cilage, expose it to the sun or wind to
dry. In short time it will peel of.
If all the gum should not peel of,
wash it with clean water and q clean
cloth. If the first application does not
have the desired effect it should be
tried again. Another method is to
rub the marble with the following solu-
tion: One-quarter Of q pound of soft
soap, one-quarter of pound of whiting
and one ounce of soda, and piece OF
stone-blue the size of . walnut; rub it
over the marble with piece of flannel,
and leave it on for twenty-four hours;
then wash it off with clean water, and
polish the marble with piece Of fan
mel or an old piece of felt, or take two
parts of common soda. one part Of
pomice stone and one part Of finely
powdered chalk sift it through q fine
sieve and mix it with water, then rubit
we'll over the marble; then wash the
marble over with soap and water. To
take stains out of white marble, take
one ounce of OK gall, one gill of lye, one
and one-half tablespoonfuls of turpen-
tine: mix and make into paste with
pipe clay; put on the paste over the
stain and let 1t remain for several days.
To remove oil stains, apply common
clay saturated with benzine. If the
grease has remained in long, the polish
will be injured but the stain will be re-
moved. Iron mold or. ink spots may be
taken out in the following manner:
Take half an ounce of butter of anti
mony and one ounce of oxalic acid and
dissolve them in one pint of rain-water;
add enough -four to bring the mixture
to proper consistency. Lay it evenly
on the stained point with brush, and
after it has remained for few days
wash it off, and repeat the process il
the stain be not wholly removed.
