felt either in the quality or quantity
of the work done, and at a saving Of
over sl00.00O,per annum. How can
this be? The explanation is easy,
Congress places in the hands of the
chief of the bureau nearly million
of dollars annually. with absolutely
no restrictions. The bureau was
filled with clerks many of whom
were assisting the others to do moth
ing. Fifty or more were discharged,
and $4,000 was saved at one
swoop. One matron and nine as
sistants were employed to protect
from theft the clothes in the dress
ing room of the female assistants TO
the printers. These ten people read
and gossiped all day, and drew their
salaries on the first of the month.
Now two women pass occasionally
through tie dressing room and the
same result is attained. Eight
lazy colored men sat on bench in
the corridor. Now only one is left
to tell the tale. The Treasury De-
partment corridors also were throng-
ed with idle messengers, so much
so, in fact, that ii became a subject
of complaint to the Secretary. Now
the efficiency of few is increased
by the discharge of many.
The new administration is little
raw as yet, has not got its hand in,
but in the initial work of four months
there is promise for the forty and
four to follow.

LONDON, July 6.-The Pail Mall
Gazette devotes five pages of its
space to showing that the trade in
young girls for immoral purpose has
increased alarmingly of late years.
1t claims that the growth in this
traffic is due to the utter worthless
ness of the law in relation to the
matter. The names OF several
wealthy men holding prominent po-
sitions in society are mentioned in
connection with the business. The
Gazette states that it still has the
details of large number of other
cases which were omitted to-day
owing to the lack of space, but that
they will be given to the public IN
the course of few days.-Memphis

A SUPPOSED MURDER,
James B. Green, Vandalia Postal Clerk,
Found Dead in His Mail Car.

When the west bound Vandalia passenger train
stopped at Vandalia, ILL.,, yesterday morning, at
o'clock, James B. Green, one of the postal
clerks, was found dead in the 'storm doorway, "
between the two mail cars. There were bruises
about his head and breast, but the injuries did
not appear to be of character that could be at
tributed to an accident, and it was at
once supposed that he had been muir
dered. A telegram received by Chief Clerk
Hit during the morning, stated that Green
had been stabbed by some tramps while ne was
trying to put them off the train. E. FL Evans,
the chief clerks assistant, was sent down to
Vandalia to learn the particulars of the affair
He returned last evening" and from the informa-
ton which he was able to give there is some
doubt as to the manner of the postal clerks
death. Green was alone when he received the
fatal injuries, and had probably been dead
twenty or thirty minutes when his body was
found Three tramps were found the steps
beside the storm doorway and they were at
once suspected by the trainmen of
having assaulted and killed the postal clerk. It
was supposed that Green had found them steal
ing ride and had ordered them off the car,
which led to their making an attack upon him.
The tramps claimed, however, that Green had
received his fatal injuries by putting his head
out through the opening between the storm
DOORS of the two cars, and that while in this DO
sition he had been crushed by sudden bump
ing of the cars The trainmen were not dis
posed to believe this story however and the
three tramps were arrested and placed in Jail to
await the result of an investigation by the cor
oner
The body of Green was brought to Clayton or

from there taken overland to Danville

He was twenty seven years old, and was mar
ried. He had been in the mail service since No
vember 1883 In a conversation with postal
clerk on another route, just before leaving this
city, on Monday night he appeared to be in un-
usually cheerful spirits, and was telling with
evident pleasure about the improvements he was
making in his home and how he expected to ex-
Joy life more with the comforts that he was add
ing to his surroundings
A special to the Journal from Altamont. last
night, gives the following account of Green's
death: James Green, mail agent on Vandalia
train No. 7, was this morning found dead be-
tween two mail-cars. between here and Wanda
liza. The cause of his death seems to be mys.
terry. On the train leaving here he started
from one mail-car to the other with an armload
of mail. and as he did not return to his post, he
was followed and found as above stated. A
roroner's inquest was held, and verdict of ac-
cdental death, by being caught between the
cars and crushed, was returned.

Hints to the Gourmand.
FOOD FOR BRAIN WORKERS AND ALL WORKOUT
APPETITES.

FOOD FOR BRAIN WORKERS AND ALL WORKOUT
APPETITES.
The flesh of yonng animals digests quicker
than that Of mature ones. This is true also, of
the flesh of wild birds, which is more tender
than that of domesticated ones. This is ac-
counted for by the greater amount of exercise
they take, thereby renewing their flesh more
rapidly and making 1t younger than that Of
birds which live more quiet life.
Fish OF all kinds Is good for nervous people,
Raw eggs, contrary to the general opinion, are
not so dgestible as those which have been
cooked. They should be boiled just enough to
harden the white. Some persons digest hard
boiled eggs better than those cooked rare.
Neither fried eggs or anything else fried should
be eaten by nervous people. The very first
thing for any one who has exhausted himself
by mental work., or who has been born
weak or irritable, is to furnish his brain with
sufficient food to either repair the damage it
has sustained or to build il up into strong,
healthy condition. Good bread, with plenty
OF sweet butter, is an excellent food for the
nerves.
Animal food is more nutritious to the nervous
system and to the body generally than vegeta-
BILE. 1t has all the essential elements for the
formation of the tissues of the body, and is
easily digested. 1t appears to be the natural
sustenance for human beings.
The first food taken by humanity-milk-is
strictly an animal substance 1t contains all
the elements necessary to the growth of the
human body and to it's maintenance In a state
of health. This cannot be said OF any one arti-
Gle of vegetable food.
If a person uses up his brain faster than he
makes 1t he soon becomes irritable and nervous.
And If he does not assimiate enough food to
supply its demands his mind is sure to become
weak. The healthiest and strongest individ-
uals, even, should eat a tar greater proportion
OF meat than of vegetable food. Beef should be
purpose OF the system when not cooked too
much. Veal and pork are not as easily digested.
Pork, so far as its composition goes, is excel
lent food for nervous persons but it is not easily
digeSted.

My dear sir, il was not that. England was

So he went to the Russian commander and got
from him some millions OF rOubIes-abOut two

British supposed he would go To war with Rus

From the Philadelphia Press
long continued search has just been brought to
a happy ending by the discovery of the daugh-

Mrs. Leon. or Mrs. Lewis, as she was then lived
in New York twenty years ago, with her two
year-old daughter. Annie. Her husband aud
son both received fatal wounds at Gettysburg.
She was sent for as they lay dying there, and,
leaving her daughter with her mother, staid
with them to the end. When she came back
to New York she could get no trace of her
child, and until a few days ago was never able
to find what had become of her. The little girl
in the meanwhile had been sent to an orphan
asylum in New York city and was there noticed
