-German-A Americans will make hight Tor
recognition by the administration and have al
ready filed a paper with the President, setting
forth that in a number of the larger states they
hold the balance of power between the Republi-
can and Democratic parties, and warns the ad-
ministration that the future success of the Demo-
cratic party in the West depends upon its treat
ment of the German voters.
"A few days ago the President appointed ex-
the Union Pacific railroad. He being Republic
can, who is very obnoxious to some Democrats,
quite howl vas raised, but before anything
further could be done in the premises, Mr.. Noyes
declined the appointment in order to relieve the
President 1t is understood the appointment was
made upon the recommendation of Gov. Hoadly.
A poor man from North Carolina, evidently
an innocent farmer, has been in Washington for
some time, haunting the White House and the
Postofice Department. He wants place in the
railroad mail service and was told by his friends
at home that all be had to do was to come on to
Washington, make application and the place
would be given him. When he asked for an APP
pointment he was told that there were no vaoan-
cies, and the last seen Of him he was trying to
get an interview with the President in the hope
Of getting enough money to 60 home on. There
are doubtless many just such cases.

and informed Mr.. Chenowith that the civil service

This is said to haye made Mr.. Chenowith very
mad and he talks of resigning saa going back to

markable and fourth edition has already been
ordered 1t is said the sale will likely reach 1O0,-

greater than the supply, and while some of the
press comments upon the work are rather discour-
aging, upon the whole the book has been we'll re-

not as yet received copy of her book, and it is
likely that very many readers will have their

ms-A gentleman in Washington tells good

TEA gentleman in Washington tells good
story which illustrates the quaint humor and prac
teal sense of Lincoln. He says: "a friend of
mine was one of delegation who called on Mr..
Lincola to ask the appointment of gentleman as
Commissioner to the Sandwich Islands. They
presented their case earnestly as possible, and,
besides his fitness for the place, they urged that
he was in bad health, and residence in that
balmy climate would be of great benefit to him.
The President closed the interview with this dis
couraging remark: Gentlemen, ! am sorry to say
that there eight other applicants for that place,
and they are all sicker than your man."

Genuine Mandheling

is much superior to the old mixture
of Mocha and Government lava,
possessing great "body," and at the
same time being very mellow and rich
in flavor in the cup. Conclusive evil
dence Of this simple yet important
statement in regard to this kind of
Coffee is furnished in the fact that
since its introduction by us, only a
few weeks since, our sales have near
ly doubled. 1t is also a very signif-
cant fact that this remarkable in
crease in sales has been accomplished
with very little advertising on our
part further than to furnish the Gen
uine Mandheling Java, roasted fresh

themselves. Always use cream mot

In the matter OF the estate OF Admiral Levin
NJ Powell Messrs. L. f. Mckay and VIM. Stone
Albert rs solicitors for Thomas w. Taylor,
Elolse T. Taylor, Philip r. Matthews, and
Fanny j. Matthews, have fled n petition for
another cavcat to the will of the deceased
As cousins and hers.at-law OF Admiral Powell
they state that their interest will be inluriously
Affected by the allowance OF this pretended
Will and testament, and pray leave to file their
CaVeat and be heard before action il taken by
the court. The grounds of objection are that
the paper writing is not the last will of the de-
ce1sed; that at the time OF executing 1t, II he
did execute II, he was not of sound and dis
posing mind, nor capable of executing valid
decd or contract; that ii executed Mt oil II was
under the undue influence of the importuni
ties suggestions, and persuusOns of Harriet c.
Stewart or some of them named i'll the pre-
tended will as lcgatees and devisees, or other
persons unknown, ana II was not the voluntary
act of the deceased; that II the paper was exc
cuted al all II was under cOmpulsOn of threats
menace, and devices inflicted upon the de-
ceased by Harriet G.. Stewart, or some other
and restrained him of his liberty for the pur-
pose of compelling him to execute the paper
writing. and that 1t was obtained by the fraud
Misrepresentation, and article OF Harriet c.
Stewart.
The petitioners further state, on information
and belief, that nj the time Admiral Powell
executed the paper II he did do So he was in
a weak and dCbiitatod condition of mind and
body, the result OF old age, and Of a severe spell
of sickness, he having attained the age OF
eighty-twO years. That he had always been on
tho most friendly tGrns with the petitioners
aud Others who are related TO him, and who
ARE not mentioned in the paper writing, and
the provisions OF il are in direct conflict with
his OfteneXprcssed intention made when he
was OF sound mind and body They therefore
pray that the purported will may be refused pro
bate, that issues may be framed and sent to the
circuit court to there be tried by jury, in order
to determine the allegation Of fact bearing
upon the validity OF the will
