Chambers COncea,ment.

Lieut. enant Gr,ely says that Private
Henry was shot for persstently stealing
rations. Ii this was properly done, as is
to be presumed, it would have been bet
ter to have let it at orce be known The
secrecy about the matter is of course
cdargeabe to Secretary Chandler, the
man in authority to whom the Official
reports were made. lie probably did not
want his reception picnic To be spoiled
by the publication Of such "a tragic
occurrence. He had an ardent desire to
embrace the opportunity given him to
get up performance at which he would
swim as the big fish in the pord, and @
doubtless thought that such disagree
able thing as the shooting Of cne or two
members Of the rescued party, and the
suspected cannibalism Of the remainder,
might interfere with the warmth of the
proposed reception of the Survivors, and
diminish his glory as cock of the walk at
Portsmouth for the period of the show.
WeknOw no other reason for Chandler s
suppression of the truth, save indeed,
that such suppression is natural To him.
There are men who are 80 unused to
frankness that they cannot show it even
when they have no object in lying aud
Chandler is one of them. He has gone
crooked so long that he can t 20 straight
when that Is his easiest course. II Greey
caused Henry to be shot because he
would persist in stealing the scanty ra
tions Of the others, after being fairly
warned Of the death that awaited him II
he continued his tbefts, Greely's act
was just and necessary, and there WAS
no good cause to conceal it. So, too. If
Henry's body was eaten by his starving
comrades, they did what it was necessa
ry and wise for them To do. Chandler
was evidently afraid that reception to
cinnibals would not be the thing In Ports
mouth harbor; and maybe it would not do
to excuse cannibalism under any circum
stances in New England, where the peo-
pie arc 30 often starving ON their stony
soil that the temptation to eat human
f,sh, il once sanctioned, might become a
customary indulgence.

Last evening cake walk for the Blaine
drum corps, which is composed of colOred
men, was given in the second story of Full.
ton opera house. There was a largo crowd
OF white people, including a numbtr Of
leading citizens present
Hen, Waters was tiJOr manager of tho
affair. The judges were Stephen l.. Ar.
mour, William Roimenschneider and
Alonza Carr, which gentleman, all OF
Philadelphia, are attending the meeting OF
the Brotherhood Of tho Union. George
Price, of Philadelphia Ofliciated as um
pire, to the satisfaction Of all parties.
Twelve couples started in the walk, but
the contestants soon d wiudled down TO two,
viz: Edward Clark, potter OF tho GrapJ
hotel, and Miss Ella Waters, aud John
Nick and Miss Martha Fells. For at least
half hour the couples walked around
the room and it was almost impossible for
the judges to decide which party dis
played the mOst grace. The prize, a
large cake, was finally awarded to Nick
and lady. The former appears to be n
''new coon in town." and is not very well
known. Clark is very we'll satisfied with
the result, as be won two prizes in recent
matches. Some of the gentlemen of color
claim that heretofore Clark has been
lucky in securing judges, who favored
him. Others say that ho would
have won last nights match if
it had not been Cor his girl who
gave herself too much swing" in turn
ing corners. Albert Wilson also made
good showing in the match, but his girl
also injured his chances as she had habit
ofthrowing out ono foot il making the
turns.
1t is likely that the result Of last nights
walk will lead to another, as the gentle.
men of color are very jealous of each
other, and those who win cake walks
stand high in society. Last nights affair
was great financial SUCCESS, aud that will
also be an inducement to the management
TO renaat il.

HENRY WAS ENEUUTEU.
! 'LteUaDt GrssIY Announces that lie
shot for stealipg KauOus.

A special dispatch from Portsmouth, n.
H., says Early Wednesday morning
Colonel Kent obtained sn interview with
Lieutenant Greedy, who admits that
Henry had u military execution on the 9Th
day OF Juue. AS early as March it was
suspected that Henry was stealing the
limited food, which were apportioned out
to the survivors for their sustenance, and
this fact being tinally and positively ascer =
tanned Lieutenant Greedy had therefore
hard work to protect the mans life. 1t
became necessary, III Ordor to keep up
discipline, to inform Henry that he would
be shot ii tho practice continued, aud that
u SiInilar fate would DO meted out to any
other member of the party who should
DO detected in u like crime. II Henry had
been permitted TO continue his stealings
uumoested the balance Of the party
would have surely starved TO death and
Henry alone survived. After and in spite
Of these warnings Henry was again de-
tected stealing tho provisions among the
food taken being two pounds of bacon,
the eating Of 30 much of which would
have made him sick. 4 search was then
instituted, when it was found that Henry
bad, among other articles, stolen and
secruted pair OF sealsEn boots which had
belonged TO the hunter of the party,
Lieutenant Greedy was therefore forced, in
order 10 protect the lives OF his other
comrades, to issue a written order that
Henry be shot, which order was carried
into effect ON June 6.
As to the alleged cannibllism, Lieu
tcuant Greedy says that if there was any.
thing of the kind it must have been an
individual act aud not general. Nothing
Of the kind, however, came under Lieu.
tenant Greely's personal observation. Ser.
geant Brainard, who is in the hospital at
the navy yard, confirms Lieutenant
| Grcely's statements. More than week
ago Lieutenant Greedy forwarded to the
secretary of war detailed report of tho
Henry execution. Upon proper represen'
tations To Secretary Chandler court OF
inquiry will undoubtedly be ordered.

The more closely the private life and
character of Grover Cleveland are
scrutinized the more it appears that he
is the kind Of a man whom the people
should and will delight to honor and
his friends, political and social, have rea
son to feel glad that his personal charac
ter has been made an issue Of the can
vass. 1t has already disclosed the fact
that he bears reputation among his
neighbors such as any man named for
any office might well covet, whether in
Lancaster or Chicago, Buffalo or
Augusta, and such as none of his re-
vilers could exhibit IL they were chal
ienged. Preachers and politicians, par
tisans and independents, men and
women of the highest social standing
bear ample testimony to this.
But the manly letter, printed Wednes
day, written to his brother puts him in a
new light. He Is seen to be the con
scientious official, the high minded
magistrate and sincere patriot but, bet
ter than 1.-THE affectionate and reyeren,

will be those who will sneer at the ten

cious fragrance in the air. This, Mer-
cutio told them, must be derived from
sweet smelling flowers. On landing,
they found vast Quantities Of the Plum

air redolent with rich odor, and from
this plant, which the present inhabitants
of Antigua cali the Frangipani flower, is
distilled that exquisite fragrance which
is still so popular in fashionable circles.

it was called because we carried pas
sengers. One night something was
wrong and I went back to signal the fast
express that wasn't more than five or six
miles behind us. I sat down on the end
of q tie, and as I had been on duty a
good many hours became drowsy and
fell asleep. Then I had dream. I
dreamed I was out tagging pas
enger when I went to sleep and failed
to signal her. She came rushing down
on me, and to this day can remember
the terrible reality of that dream; how I
felt when I looked up and saw her big
nose not twenty feet away, how she
roared and screamed, and swooped to-
ward me like demon. Just as itseemed
the great wheels we're to pass over me,
awoke in q fearful agony, and with
great drops of sweat on my face. It
was the awfuIest dream I ever had, but
in a second I looked up the track and
I'll be darned if there wasn't No. 16's

as she came toward me. I reached for
my lantern. and where do you suppose
I found it? When dropped asleep I
had Topped down right in front of it so
the engineer of 16 couldn't have seen it
at all. If it hadn't been for that dream
I'd a-been mixed up with the ballist in

natural Isehould have some respect for
dream. Let that old emigrant alone,
