A Washington correspondent says
that the work of printing the official
records of the late war is done in fine
old mansion west of the White House,
which has been used by the government
for years, and which is now wholly de-
voted to this work. The files of the
papers are brought from the war depart
ment IN wheelbarrows, and carefully
searched and the matter needed copied
by pen. 1t takes about peck of manu-
script to make one volume of the official
record. Each volume contains on an
average 1000 pages of printed matter
or about 5000 pages of closely written
foolscap. An ordinary foolscap page
of the record cats up about 200 words, so
that volume would contain 600, 900
words. And the whole publication will
contain the immense amount $4,000, 900
words. Estimating each foolscaE page
as covering one and one half square feet
of spacc-not large estimate, think
the manuscript used to complete this
history, will cover 800, 900 square feet of
space if it were laid out with the edges
of its sheets touching one another in
close patchwork. And as an acre is less
than "A, 600 square feet it would cover
more than eight acres of ground, and
leave paper to spare The work on the
record in regard to accuracy is wonder
fully complete. A single name often
consumes days of research and is found
/ at the end to be far different from the
one it was originally supposed to be.

NO NILE EXPEDITION.

The English Government VIII Not Re.
peat the Costly Experiment..
There is no truth in the report that the
British government contemplates an ex
petition for the recapture Of Khartoum.
If Lord Wolseley's troops had been left
an the Upper Nile, it is very probable
that an attempt would be made to advance
against the Mthdi or his successor, not SO
much with the view of recovering Khartoum,
as to exert military pressure for the relief Of
the besiegcd garrisons of kassaa and SEMINAR
and to impress the insurgents with the superb
ority of civilized soldlership. But before Lord
salisbury took office the evacuation of the Sou
dan had been practically completed, and at
present n movement upon khartoum would
require tho organization Of new expedition,
under more uniuvorable conditions in regard
to native cooperation than attended the abor-
tive attempt OF last fall.
The Dougoa country has been stripped bare
of supplies. The administrative and even the
commercial organization OF the province havc
gone o pieces. All the food and transporta-
ton would have to be brought from lower
Egypt. Under these drawbacks, it is too late in
the summer to begin preparations for another
advance by the river. Before adequate depots
could be formed the low water would have
rome and the army would again be stranded

A Great MANY Hogs.

A tall, lank man boarded an out-go-
ing western train near the stock-yards.
He looked like a farmer, and there
was an odor of cattle-cars about his
clothes. He walked through the car
and looked about for a seat, but no
body stirred to make room for him.
A drummer was spread over two seats,
and a woman and her two children
over three. Several men occupied a
whole seat apiece. The tall, lank man
gazed up and down the car a moment

Five of the wholesale pickle dealers Of
Brooklyn, N. Y, admit that they use
copper for the purpose of imparting a
fresh and inviting appearance to Their
commodities, and one of them describes
the process by which the fictitious color
ing is impaired as follows: The pickles
are placed in vat and subjected to a
steam heat of 140 to 100 degrees Fab
renheit. In the vat quantity of alum
and copper plates are added, and tie
innocent cucumber or onion subjected to
contact with these harmless ingredients
for term of from three to nine hours.
The pickles are then carefully washed,
and are ready for the palates of the pub
lie. One dealer said he discountenanccd
the use of copper plates, and said that he
only used crystal of blue vitrol, a most
appetizing adjunct. This highly agree.
