The Swain Case Closed.

A telegram from Col. IL. q. Corbin was
read in the Swain court-martial, and &C
cepted as his evidence for the defense.
Col. Corbin remembered that in the latter
part of 1882, when in company with Mr..
Bateman and Gen. Swain, the latter was
driving team of horses, and Mr.. Bate
man asked witness, How do you like
Swaim's team?" Records of the treasury
rejecting on Mr.. Bateman were offered,
but refused by the court Mr.. r. T. Hum
phrey testified to selling Gen. Swain
horse in March, 1888, for Sl25, but kept
it in his own stable and fed IL himself for
some three months after. Gen. Swain
was then recalled, and denied specifically
that he ever foraged horses he did not
own; he lent Bateman his horses in re-
turn for the latter's coupe. The cross
examination was quite rigid on the point
of how the accused came to draw forage
for TWO horses when entitled to it for
three. 1t was somewhat suddenly in
terrupted by consultation of the judge
advocate with the president of the court,
following which this particular line of
inquiry was dropped, and after one or
two formal questions the examination
WAS announced rs closed. The defense
here rested their case and asked the
privilege Of two arguments. The judge
advocate said that he was willing to sub
nit the case without argument. The
court after private consultation decided
to hear no argument. and went at once
into secret session TO consider their find
ings in the case.

"The Land of the False Prophet" is the
title of the opening illustrated article in
the March Century, by Gen. r. Il. Col
ston, who was formerly a boy in the
Egyptian service. From II we quote the
following; "Khartoum is city number
ing between fifty and sixty thousand
people. Several European consuls reside
there. The American consul was Azar
Abd-el- Melek, a Christian Copt from
Esneh, and one Of the principal mer-
chants. The European colony is small
and continually changing; for Khartoum
is perfect graveyard for Europeans,
and in the rainy season for natives also
tho mortality averaging then from thirty
TO forty per day, which implies three
thousand to four thousand for the season.
Khartoum is the commercial center of
the Soudan trade, amounting altogether
20 S65,0O0,000 year, and carried on by
1000 European and 5000 Egyptian COM
merCial houses. Drafts and bills of ex-
change upon KhartOum are as good as
gold in Cairo and Alexandria, and vico
versa. From official sources / learned
that the city contained three thousand
and sixty houses, many Of them two
stored, each having from ton to one hum
drcd and fifty occupants Stone and
lime are found in abundance, and
the buildings are, after fashion,
substantial, tho houses belonging TO
rich merchants being very spacious aud

the spacious market place brisk trade
is carried on in cattle, horses, Camels,
asses, aud sheep, as we'll as grain, fruit,
and other agricultural produce. Many
years ago an Austrian Roman Catholic
mission was established and literally sup

world. 1t occupies large paralleogram
surrounded by solid wall. Within this
Enclosure, in beautiful gardens of palm,
fig, pomegranate, orange, and banana,
stand massive cathedral, hospital, and
other substantial buildings. Before the
people Of Egypt and the Soudan had boon

was their perfect liberation and good
temper that the priests and nuns, In their
distinctive costumes, were always safe
from molestation. not only at Khartoum,
but even at III Obeid and the neighbour

A SUCCESSFUL EXTINGUIsHER.
The Harden Hand Grenade Tested Mt
the Capitol and Found to Excel All
Connect

The Harden Hand Grenade Tested Mt
the Capitol and Found to Excel All
Competitors.
Quite novel and striking scene WAS
witnessed last Thursday morning upon
the terrace just west Of the capitol build
ing, near the statue of John Marshall,
just as the senators and representatives
were repairing TO their commit rooms.
This was nothing less than large frame
work structure, twelve feet high and eight
feet wide, filed with pitch, pine shsvings,
&C., soaked with kerosene, turpontine,
and other inaammable material. and all
in an immense blaze. The fire attracted
attention at once and drew quite dis
tinguished gathering, to whom the object
of the contlagration was soon made ap-
parent by what followed.
1t seems that since the recent fire in
the file room, the attention of congress
has been called to the importance of So
curing the records from similar loss. In
consequence OF q resolution passed by the
house, Mr.. Clark and his assistants have
been devoting considerable attention to
the testing of various fire extinguishers,
but with no satisfactory result. Three,
at least, of such contrivances after being
repeatedly tried, have been pronounced
worthless, all of them necessitating the
use of water to extinguish the flames.
Thursday last Mr.. II. IL. Rose, the gen.
eral agent here of the Harden Hand
Grenade, made test of tho patent repre-.
sented by him in the presence of Archi-
tect Clark, his assistants, and u large
number of public men, with result pro-
nounced by them as eminently satisfac-
tory and beyond comparison with any
thing of the sort ever exhibited to them.
When the fire had reached its height Mr..
Rose stepped forward and had thrown
into it two hand grenades, each holding o
pint of liquid, which, upon the explosion
of the grenades, placed tho flames com
pletoly under control, leaving nothing
but blackened ombers. Not only this,
but tests upon letters and books proved
that the damage ordinarily attaching to
such records from water will not result
from the use of this fluid. The writing
is not even blurred.

guisher consists of simple glass globe

How 90 Address the TresIdent.

II was not at all strange that, after their
sad experience under monarchioal rule, the
early Americans should have disliksd every.
thing that savored Of royalty. Not only was this
spirit shown in attacks made upon q peculiar
courtliness Of fashion affected by q portion
of society, but 1t found expression in the
Constitution itself. 1t was distinctly provid
ed that
No title Of nobility shall be granted by the United
States;
and an instance OF the popular feeling on
this subject and the peculiarities Of the two
Houses, is presented by the proceedings Of
the First American Congress.
The question was raised As to what
proper to annex tn the ofaeos Of President and Vice
President OF the United States II any other than
those given in the Constitution
and this matter was deemed of sufficient
importance TO receive the attention of G
special Joint committee OF both Houses.
This committee reported that the President
should be addressed as His EXoellency.'
The senators would not agree TO the report.
A Committee OF Conference was then ap-
pointed, and reported
That, in the opinion OF the
committee, It will be proper to thus address the Pres
ident His "Highness, the President Of the United
States OF America, and Protector Of their liberties"
think that was high-sounding enough tc
please the tastes OF the senator's But the
members OF the House would consent tC
nothing OF the kind. They did not believe Il
essential TO the dignity Of q free people thai
their Chief Officer should be laden down with
anything more than q simple description oi
his office. The result of the whole matter Il
shown in the following resolution, passed BY
the Senate on the 18th Of May, 1889:

of ciVilized nations. Whether uQder mOnnrchieal

induced to be Of opinion that Il would be proper Il

where the practice atey observed in presenting Al

Therefore

The Chairman Of the Civil service Com
mIaaiOm.
tFrom Harper's wOeliy.l

lEEpu
Mr.. DOrman B. Eaton is q well-built man,
of say one hundred and seventy pounds in
weight and Ave feet eleven in height, with q
mouth suggestive of indomitable resolution,
and nose like Julius Caesars. His official
connection with civil service reform dates
back to 1873, when he was appointed chair
man OF the first commission but he had al
ready spent three years in Europe studying
the operation of the principle. In 1877 he
proposed to President Hayes that the history
Of EnglAnd's experience in the matter OF civil
service reform should be published for the
benefit of the American people. Mr.. Hayes
favored the idea, but regretted the lack OF an
appropriation to meet the expenses. II will
prepare the volume" replied Mr.. Eaton, "at
my own expense" The next three months
he renewed bis study in England, with the
well. known results embodied in his book,
"Oivil Service in Great Britain, and its Bear
ing on American Politics." published by the
Harper's and circulated extensively in every
State in the Union. He followed this effort
to develop public opinion by contributing ar
ticles in the Princeton Review, the Atlantic
Monthly, Lippinootfs Magazine, and other
periodicals, and by delivering addresses IN st.
Louis, Milwaukee, Pittsburg, and other cities.
The first meeting of civil service reform
association was held in his house in this city
in 1874. There are now nearly seventy OF
these associations. Mr.. Eaton drew the Civil
Service Bill, which was passed with only
slight notifications and President Arthur,
without consulting him, made him the FIRST
commissioner Of civil service reform.
