JUSTICE HARLAN, of the Supreme
Court, and Judge Greshrm, of the .. s.
Circuit Court, last week, disagreed in
Chicago election case of Mackin and
others, and the case goes to the Supreme
Court of the United States. Judge Har-
Ian held the conviction was adequate
and complete, and Judge Gresham that
the proceedings were unconstitutional in
trying Mackin on an information instead
of by indictment from the grand jury.

KEEPING the head perfectly clean, says
writer in the Salem (Mass) Gazette, is
a great aid to health. a distinguished
physibian, who has spent much of his
time at quarantine, said that a person
whose head was thoroughly washed ev-
cry day rarely ever took contagious dis
eases, but when the hair was allowed to
become dirty and matted it was hardly
possible to escape infection. Many per-
sons find speedy relief for nervous head
ache by washing the head thoroughly in
weak soda water. We have known cases
almost wholly cured in ten minutes by
this simple remedy. A friend finds it
the greatest relief in case of rose cold,"
the cold symptoms entirely leaving the
eyes after one thorough washing of the
hair. The head should be thoroughly
dried afterward, and draughts of air
should be avoided for little while.

Andrew, can't live but a few days,
and when my funeral takes place there
will doubtless be great many people
here. Unless you take some way to pro-
tect those plants they will be broken
off or destroyed or taken away. Now
Sarah is very proud of them, and think
that when that time comes you should
have those plants carried to the upper
veranda and lock the windows and then
they will be safe
HE died few pays afterward. His
directions in this respect were not OBJ
served, and Mrs. Jackson's plants were
destroyed or carried away in pieces or

The Great Seal.
Washington teIerram.l


A report has gained circulation that the
new administration has discovered that the
great seal of the United States does not
correspond with the description given in
the statute by which it was authorized at
the time of the formation of the Govern
ment, and that q new seal is at
once to be made TO secure nm ac-
curate design. This report is partial
ly correct but greatly exaggerated.
1t has long been known that the
eagle on the great seal clutched nero
half dozen arrows in her talons instead of
the thirteen designed TO be emblomatic of
the original colonies. Protests against the
inaccuracies Of tho great seal have not COM
handed attention, and it continued to be
affixed until it became so worn that the i'm
preston could scarcely be seen. The last
Congress made an appropriation for new
seal, and one will soon be produced which
will be as nearly as possible an accurate
reproduction of the original design.

RUssIA's CURT REPLY.
De Giers Refuses to Talk Further About
the Penjdeh Incident-Duplicity
Of Turkey.
rcab,e dispatcb from london /


The Russian reply TO the communication
sent to Nj. de Giers through Sir Edward
Thornton yesterday. after the receipt OF
Sir Peter Lumsdens supplementary report
on the battle of March 80. has Just been
received. MI. de Giers replies CURLY that
Russia declines to enter upon any further
discussion of the Penjdeh incident
1t is reported al st. Petersburg that the
general staff are in favor of allowing Gen.
Komaroff to act at his own discretion, not
even nj. de Giers 10 interfere.
letter from Baku confirms the first ac-
count of the battle Of Penjdeh. and states
that the Afghan force consisted of 1000
men. The writer, who had been with Sir
Peter Lumsden. but who left him before
the battle was fought. states the Russians
throughout the winter had been trying to
excite and irritate the Afghans, and that
only Sir Peter Lumsden's influence pre-
vented bloodshed long ago. Col. Alikhanoff
advanced to Ak-Tapa at about the end OF
November, before the boundary commits
sion had arrived and battle with the At
ghans was narrowly avoided then. News
has also been received that In the battle Mt
Penjdeh the Afghan General was through
out in the fore front of the fighting and was
twice wounded. 1t is reported that Col.
Alikhanoff offered reward of 100 tomas
iaOOut SJOU) TOT the n6ad Oh eltner OF the
British officers with the Afghan force.
A dispatch from Constantinople puts O
new light on the diplomatic mission to En-
gland Of Hassan Fehmi Pasha, the special
Turkish Envoy, and Hobart Pasha, Mar.
shall of the Turkish Empire. In order to
avoid the censorship of press dispatches at
Constantinople this message was sent by
mail to Athens and transmitted thence by
telegraph to London. 1t says that the sole
mission Of Fehmi Pasha who has been
here constantly since January last, was to
fool the British Government into belief
that Turkey was disposed to be on
friendly terms with England and to
seek and follow her advice in all inter-
national complications. Hobart Pasba,
whose former reputation as gallant Ad-
miral of the British navy made him an adj
mrable tool for this purpose, was sent with
Fehmi Pasha to strengthen the blind. Ho-
bart Pasha was intrusted only with the de-
livery of certain presents to the Queen and
Prince Of Wales, accompanied by the GUS
tomary assurances of distinguished consid-
Grafton, ETC., which may mean a great deal
or nothing. All the fine work of diplomatic
intrigue was to be done and has been done
from first to last by Fehmi Pasba.
