THE CALICO RAGE In THE EAST.
Ladies Encouraging Movement to Help
Business in the Dry-GoOds Trade.

AMEsBURG, Mass, June 27.-The calico fever
has now reached here. Just how it came, OF
from where, nobody knows, but everybody
knows it is here 1t seems to have dropped right
down in our midst without warning, and to day
nearly every lady is busiy engaged in thinking
up some new pattern for her calico dress, while
others are making selections, and merchants are
putting in new goods in large quantities. Very
many young ladies are already appearing in neat
calico suits, which look very attractive. It
seems that the people have just begun to realize
that calico makes pretter summer suits
than any other material but the predominating
reason given by most of the influential ladies
who have been asked about it is that it will
help the poor factory operatives who have so
long been out of work, and besides" they say,
If every lady will purchase enough of calico for
even single dress that it would be sufficient to
make such a demand for the goods as to cause
every print factory in the country to start on
full time for one year."
One lady suggested that as &hey are engaged
In charitable work as well as fashionable one,
the men ought to wear calico coats and vests
during the summer, and several young men at
once acted upon the suggestion, and forthwith
bought material for calico vests and left their
measures at the taors. For the present each in.
dividual lady seems to be selecting material for
use more than for parties. and one wealthy lady
has purchased 500 yards of calico to make
presents of fifty calico dresses to deserving poor.
Everybody you meet says ''calico," and every
body seems to like the idea One lady was asked:
How about the prices9 and she replied that the
price was not taken into account, as it was so
low that few cents per yard did not make much
difference as long as they knew that good prices
for prints made good wages for the factory help.
Taken altogether the move is pronounced good
one, and likely to be of great dimensions. Those
who can well afford to wear the most costly silks
and will be among the first to como out in calico
suits. Said one bright pretty girl about seven
teen years old: eff only two or three rich ladies
in every town would just buy calico dresses and
wear them out TO church then | would have to
run two more looms to keep up, and then
wouldn't make good pay2'

THE CHEYENNE INDIANS.
Gen. Angur Thinks the Citizens of Kansas
Are in No Immediate Danger.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 27.-The Governor is in
receipt of the following letter:
s'FoRT LEAvxNwoRTH Kan, June &C.
ITO the Governor OF Kansas:
81 have had the honor to receive your Excel
lencys letter Of yesterday. In view of the late
reports in the newspapers concerning the alleged
outbreak of the Cheyennes, l am not surprised
at your anxiety about the counties bordering on
the Indian Territory. / am happy to assure you
that, in my judgment. founded upon the latest
reports from Fort Reno and the cantonment, no
immediate danger to any portions Of your State
is to be apprehepded from the Cheyenpes or any
other Indians. There has recently been a good
deal of excitement among the Cheyennes. and
soTe Of their young men have been insubordi-
nate, and in some instances have acted
very badly. This indicates. among Indians,
who have been quiet on a reservation for so
many years, that there exists somewhere what
they conceive to be a grievance. The govern
ment has appointed a commission to ascertain
whether or not they have just cause of com.
plant If the commission find they have, the
government will undoubtedly correct it. If it
finds they have not, it is equally certain the gov
to submission, and. it is believed, will send suf-
ficient force to confne whatever trouble may
result to the limits of the Indian Territory.
Should anything occur which there is reason to
believe threatens danger to any portion of the
citizens of your State on the border, shall not
only inform you at once. but will do all in my
mower to avert it. / send a copy of telegram
received last night, which shows that the Chey-
ennes will be glad to meet the commission.

Mr.. Chafree's Theory of the Case.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, June 27-Ex-Senator Chaffee is
in town. From him came the theory which at
one time got considerable credence, that General
Grant was not suffering, after ALL from cancer,
but that the disease was malignant sore throat,
resulting from some faint in the blood. The
betterment of the Generals condition gave color
to this explanation, and Mr. Chaffee, speaking
as a member of the household was emphatic
and open in asserting his belief that complete
recovery might ensue. He has now given up the
hope which he then felt ''There is, unhappily, no
longer reason to doubt that the trouble is cancer
he says, 'or that the end is nigh. think that at
least one of the doctors was for awhile strongly
inclined to dscredit the diagnosis but that is all
past" Being asked if Grants own hopes were
revived by this Mr. Chaffee said no. Proof of
the patients feeling of certainty in the matter
lay in the fact that, intensely anxious to com
plete his book, he sketched the closing portions
in the hastiest and crudest manner, because he
feared to leave it in condition requiring the
known work of another hand. The pages that he
is now reported as writing, from day to day, are
for insertion in place of the sketchy passages
Mrs. Grant was one of the last to relnquish all
hope Mr.. Chaffee adds that nobody around the
patient now doubts the fatality of the disease.

has caused surprised comment in few of the
fact that he has for two years been on the staff
of the Mail and Express, which was a most
Jealous advocate Of Blaine, and since the election
has found no scinctilla of good in Cleveland 1t
turns out that the choice of Stoddard was sug
gested to the President by Secretary Whitney,
who happened to be a personal acquaintance of
the poet, and knew that he was DESTROYS of
writing book. but was unable to spare the
time from the earning of living. The selection
had no reference to Stoddard's position in
journalism. STILL on getting the appointment,
he wrote to the President to remind him that he
was connected with the Mail and Express which
fact he imagined might possibly have been
overlooked. Personally, he was Democrat,
and his contributions related wholly to literary
criticism. The reply was an assurance Of con-
fdence in his ability to fill the post satisfactorily.
