something Concerning This work In the
Detection of Fraud.
Meeting a lady employed in the
custom-house, asked her to give me
an idea of her pay and duties, to
which she consented. She said: :. 1t
is generally supposed that the pay of a
lady in the custom-house is so large
as to enable her to retire wealthy in
the course of few years. but, the
truth is, we receive about seventeen
dollars week, upon which we must
nieintain ourselves and families. Hus-
bands? Oh, no, there are no husbands

American Salmon in France.

The Parisians are rejoicing in the
prospects of being able to indulge in
the sport of salmon fishing in the Seine
and the Marine at no distant day. The
artificial formulation of 500, 900 salmon
ova is going on at this moment in the
aquarium of the Trocadero, and when
the fry is sufficiently grown to support
the change these rivers and their afflu-
ents are to be stocked with the young
fish. The parent salmon, some five
hundred in number, were imported
from California in 1873. The American
fish is. as is known, stationary in its
habits, neither requiring nor practicing
the annual visit to the sea necessary
for the development of the salmon of
the Old World. The fish have thriven
remarkably well in the aquarium, and
some of the progeny have already at
tanned a weight from sixteen to twenty
pounds, which is, however, only half
the average weight of their full grown
cOngeners in their native streams. 1t
has been calculated that the stocking
of the French rivers with America SAL
mon, if it could be successfully accom-
plished, would represent an annual
gain to the country of some $4,000, 900.

"A New York man has devised q
plan by which the Atlantic Ocean can
be illuminated at night. He proposes
to employ light ships. bearing electric
candles of enormous power and con-
nected with each other and with q
submarine cable by suitably adjusted
wires. The practicability of this is
based on what are styled two undis-
puted possibilities-namely, that q
light ship will lie at anchor in a heavy
sea without protection, and that cleo
trical communication may readily be
maintained from such ship with the
two continents.-E 7. Times.

WASHINGTON March 30.-No appointment

caused more surprise than that of State Senator
Rufus Magee, of Logansport, to be minister to

have suspected that MIR. Magee wanted place.

trace the influence which brought about the ap

for Magee's appointment and the matter was

nothing to say about Magee. He is doubtless
jealous because he not asked to use his infiu-

MINISTER MAGEE.


Hon. Rufus Magee, the newly appointed min
lister to Norway and Sweden, is a native Indian
ian, having been born at Logansport, Oct. IL,
1916. He resided there until 1862, when he en-
tered the State University at Bloomington He
was model student at that institution until 1865,
and was the personal friend and classmate
of the eldest son of Hon. Joseph e.
Mcdonald, "Zeke, long since dead A singular
coincidence may be found in the fact that twenty
years ago yesterday he left Bloomington with
young Mcdonald to come to indianapolis for a
few days. The Sentinel was then with
ont city editor, and through the influence of
Senator Mcdonald, young Magee was appointed
to the vacancy. He had in his possession at
that time $40 in money and suit of clothes.
He filed the position with distinction for over
two years. relinqnishing it to enter the legal
profession al Logansport. In 1868 he bought the

1876, when he sold the property. and re-entered

The Lottery King Dead.

Charlie Howard. the lottery king is dead
He was the founder of the Louisiana State
Lottery, and a shrewd and we might add
unscrupulous man. His friends praise
him for his many charitable deeds: but all
OF his good acts we're evidently done for
policy's sake. He has made millions Of
dollars out of his lottery, through which
he has brlbeG Legislatures and secured
the election Of State officials favorable to
him. Maiden 1.aD Democrat Tribune
Here is the truth of that whole swindlin9
scheme told by a Louisiana paper. Thous-
ands of deluded creatures all over the
country have been kept poor by monthly
contributions to make one man rich.
Howard has made millions by falsely hold
ing out the hope to thousands Of Young
men, and old, of drawing grand prize
which they never got. Now that the
founder and main supporter of this gig1n-
tic swindling machine is dead and perhaps
the days of its continuance are few. there

Of the president, bu instead of DR.. lefe-
vre, coming, the simple announcement
came that the Presbytery of Maryland has
refused to allow Dr. Lefevre to resign his
pastoral charge in Baltimore AS he can
not be president of Davidson College and
pastor of church in Baltimore at the
same time, it appears that the college is
once more without a president. We sup
pose that the trustees will call an early
meeting and try it again. The date for the
commencement of the next session is rap
idly approaching and there is not much
time to lose, Probably if the trustees
would select a man native and to the manor
