The Magazines.

Vide Awake for December is full of good
things for the little ones, as usual.
Popular Science MOnthly.-The contents of the
December numbera are especially rich and inter
esting. The magazine is being continually
improved by making its scope include the dis
cussion of topics of everyday, living interest.
For example, the purely speculative articles
this month are diversified by two very practical
ones, to wit. one Postal Savings Banks" by
Prof. d. B. King. and one on "Thomasville as
a Winter Resort" by Prof. E. L. Youmans.
Both of these are very aprOpos. The necessity
of establishing some system of postal l-savings
banks, which will be abreast of those that are
doing benefcent work in other countries, is
quite urgent, and thoughtful, accurate study
of those systems, describing what they are, how
they have grown, how well they answer the
wants of their people, and what notifications
are necessary to fit them for our people, is very
much needed. This need has been met by Prof.
King and his contribution will undoubtedly be
the foundation for many of the arguments that
will be made during this session of Congress in
favor of establishing such o system of savings
repositories for our people. Prof. Youmans's S
account of his Winter in Thomasville is ex-
actly what people who are looking Southward
for refuge from the trying weather of Jan
uary, February and March want to read. They
want to know what a man in whose opinion
they have confidence found by actual expert
ence when gone on an errand similar TO the
one they themselves contemplate He tells
just what every one wants to know-what the
country is like, the soil, climate, water, hotels,
amusements, and diversions and people. With
all this popularizing there is no lowering of
the high plane adopted for the speculative
articles. The opening article is The Scientific
Study of Religion" by the Count dAlvilla
Chas. P. Howard has well written article on
"The Refracting Telescope" Prof J. P. Les
ley contributes "The Spirit and Method of
Scientific Study" This is followed by "The
Social Life of Arctic Birds" and number of
other articles of great Importance and interest
The Popular Science Monthly has become one of
the cherished institutions of the country.

WASHINGTON March 26.-This evenings
Critic prints the following: 'There has been a
good deal written and said about the real reason
why ex-senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, visited
Washington recently. Many persons have stated
that he came to call upon the President, others
have asserted that he came to attend to some
business in the courts and still others that his
mission was to assist some of his friends in
seeking appointments. A Critic reporter was in
formed, to-day, that all these stories were incor.
rect, that all theories advanced were baseless,
and that the real object of his visit here had not
been stated
He came here said gentleman in position
to know, upon request of the President I
presume that Cleveland entertained an idea that
the ex-senator would take mission abroad and
it was for the purpose of Offering him the Rus
sian mission, and also consulting him about mat
ters in his State, that his presence here was re-
quested' 81

dent Cleveland that McDonald's ambition is to
return to the Senate, but if an opportunity is
afforded to repair the slight given in the forma-
ton of the Cabinet, mind you, it will be repaired
That matter was limited at by the President.
Then Mcdonald was asked pcintealy by the
President in regard to appointments in indiana,
and venture the answers given were unmistak-
able ones. Mr.. Hendricks will see the effect
of the visit Of the man he has betrayed as soon
as certain appointments are made, for the

der Guards under command of General Gra-
ham, accompanied the Shropshire, Surrey and
sikhs Indian regiments this morning, on their
departure for Tamai, as far as McNeils zeraba
The start was made at Z o'clock. The zeraba
was reached with q loss of but thirteen wounded
in a fight on the way. A force of Arabs rushed
on the troops. The latter at once formed a
square, and the Arabs recklessly charged upon
this with such impetuosity that they got within
twenty yards of it. They were repulsed with a
loss of 100 killed.
General Graham, in supplementary dispatch,
says that during the mornings march from
Suakim to the zeraba not a camel nor a load was
lost. Some of the men suffered slight sun
strokes. The marines suffer most from heat.
General Graham says that with the exception of
such ailments as are caused by heat, the troops
are healthy.
Skrmish parties of troops are engaged in
clearing the bushes of Arabs along the road to

MR.. PHELPS AT DINNER.
Speech by the New Minister to England
Before the Alumni of Yale College.

NEW YORK, March 26.-Edwards Pierrepont
presided at the dinner of the Yale alumni to-
night Among the eminent guests were Edward
J. Phelps, the new minister to England; Presi-
dent Noah Porter, of Yale College; William Wal
Ter Phelps and others Chauncey NJ Depew was
prevented attending by death in his family.
President Porter speaking about the college,
alluded to the additional honor attained by her
in having a member of the faculty selected to
represent the American people at the court of
st. James. He said Prof. Phelps had been a
great gain to Yale, and left his influence in a
beneficial manner on the minds of all students
Elk Minister Pierrepont, in introducing the
newly-appointed plenipotentiary, said that the
that in which he had been accustomed to prac-
tice, as he would soon discover. Mr. Pierrepont
warned him of the risks he run in not according
every facility to travelling Americans and said if
q request to be shown the Queens bed room was
denied the American so refused would berate
him soundly in the newspapers.
Professor Phelps in answering, said he did
not know the connection between Yale and poll
ties, for ale not political institution. and
nobody knows less about politics than him
self. 1t was the business of Yale College. he
thought, to teach men to do their duty in
whatever sphere of labor God calls them to- The
speaker was too good Democrat to be dissatis-
fled with the results of the late presidential cleo
ton, but. if it had gone the other wav, we might
have had the right Phelps (pointing to William
Walter Phelps instead of the wrong one as
minister to England or even Secretary of State.
No man appreciated better, said the speaker
the untried difficulties of his new position, and
he hoped to discharge his new duties as success
fully as his predecessor, who had honoreu Yale's
great sister institution as she had honored him,
and who had met the trials Of his position with
perfect satisfaction to the people on both sides of
the water. The closing part of Minister Phelps's
speech was devoted to Yale and the splendor of
her sens.

Militia During Inauguration Week.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 26 Washington seems
to be having surfeit of courts martial The
Swain case is no sooner disposed of than mill
tary circles shaken the trial of the Chief
Signal Officer of the army. His trial came to a
close last week, and now tho Ebbitt House Red
Parlor is the scene of the proceedings of another
military tribunal. This time the inquiry is not
of much Importance The officers of the
court are not regulars, but simply militia from
Pennsylvania. The subject of their inquiry is
the method adopted by the foraging squads Of
the Pennsylvania soldiery during their
recent visit to Washington to aid in
the inauguration of a Democratic President
Parties of these gallant blue coats were no
sooner off the train which brought them here
than they began foraging for supplies. a heer
depot was seen and raided Next, saloon fell
before their charge, and large quantities of
glassware and other stores were siezed and car
ried off, Then a poor woman, who was trying to
make living from small grocery store, fell
victim to the conquering army. Her crackers,
hams and other cdibles were captured and car
ried off. More saloons were attacked, and the
proprietors capitulated at once without pariey
During the time spent in the
city the Pennsylvania militia did not
permit night to pass without disgracing their
uniforms. They even sacked the law library Of
the city hall, and would have carried away
hundreds of valuable legal works, but were dis
covered in time. OF course the whole body Of
Pennsylvania troops were not engaged in these
riotous proceedings There were only few,
but the few brought disgrace upon the whole
army. The sufferers made complaint to the
authorities, and Governor Pattison was notified.
He acted promptly, summoned court of in
quiry and dispatched them to Washington.
They are here now, holding daily sessions, and ID
will go hard with the guilty parties, as military
law in Pennsylvania is almost as strict as in the
regular army

trolled the appointment the position he assumed
is pronounced consistent, and the fight he made
was gallant to the last Had he been compelled
to combat only ordinary or natural opposition,
he would have won easily; but when a Vice
president becomes a beggar and pleads
with tears in his eyes for his life,
manly men falter and their arguments disap-
pear as mist. It is stated about the hotels
to night, where the subject affords the principal
topic Of comment, that the Vice-president act
ually pleaded with tears in his eyes for the ap-
pointment of JONES' and represented that not
only would he be ruined, but the party would be
greatly weakened and the administration embar
rassed, if Jones was not made postmaster.
