DISCRIMINATING A State.
How They Submit TO National Usarpa-
tion ia Mexico.

From, the Rel0 orleans Pioap7sns.
The Mexican Congress has coolly dis
membered the State of Jalisoo, erecting
the canton or county Of Topic into a Fed
eral territory. This procedure is opposed
to all our ideas of State rights, but the
MeXicans probably think it all right,
although their constitution is modelled on
our own. The area Of Jalisco is 30, 1863
square miles, and its population is $685. s9.
The area OF Topic we do not
know. The population of the town Is
about 10000, and that Of the county 49,
500. 1t contains SO mines. San Bias,
tue most important seaport Of Jalsco, is
. miles west of Topic; but on account of
the unhealthmess of san Bias the custom
house was for many years located at
Topic. The ISoO Repa6ltcS, OF the City of
Mexico, reporting the establishment of
the new territory, says that it. is the
smallest territory in the world, but Omits
to state its area. The new territorial
government, established with great
particularly by Congress, Will cost
Sll3,S74 rs for the year 1885. All the
branches of the public service are de-
clared ruling in Topic Territory the same
as in the Federal District OF Mexico and
the territory of Lover California, with
the important exception OF the articles of
the code OF penal procedure, which entail
trial by jury. A supreme and subsidiary
courts are set up, including police courts.
The Too Republics says that the erection
OF the territory was accomplished with
out the slightest demur from the JaliscO
Legislature, which reffaiued from object
ing, moved by feelings of dclicacy and
decorum."

TENNIE CLAFLINs CANVAS.
Her Most Valued Painting In the Gus
tOdy OF the Sheriff.
From the Nsa0 York World.


From the NsaO York World.
Several years ago Tennie q. Claflln and
Victoria Woodruff startled Wall street
operators by establishing a brokerage
business among the bulls and bears. 1t
was rumored at the time that Commodore
Vanderbilt furnished the capital for the
firm. However this may have been, it
was apparent that the old Commodore
possessed considerable friendship for Miss
Clanin, and by some 1t was thought that
they were exceedingly ultimate. One day
Miss Clafin, desiring to present Mr.. Van
derDilt with a token Of her esteem, ordered
that a certain oil painting should be sent
to his home. 1t was magnificent picture,
was entitled Aurora" and was valued
at about $4,000. The original of il is said
TO have been worth at least twenty-five
times that amount.
Ire Commodore priced the painting very
highly and II occupied most cOnspicu-
GUS position In his art gallery. Upon his
death bed Mr.. Vanderbilt requested that
the picture should be returned TO Miss
Claflin. His orders were Obeyed. After
the female brokers discontinued business
Miss Clailin went abroad. She has re-
manned there several years. Only short
time. ago news was received Of her be-
trothal 10 "a titled EnglIsbman, you
know" 1t was also announced that her
future residence after marriage might be
the City of Churches. In anticipation of
this, the steamer Canada, Of the National
line, one week ago yesterday brought over
some exceedingly valuable paintings be-
longing 10 Miss Clafiin. Mrs. Marguerite
A. Miles, a sister, sailed few days pre-
vious, upon the White Star steamer
Celtic, and arrived in advance Of the
pictures.
BY order of Collector Robertson they
We're, after inspection, conveyed TO the
residence OF Mrs. Miles, No. III DE Kalb
avenue, Brooklyn. To her utter acton
ishmeni Deputy Sheriff Barto called upon
her last Thursday afternoon and informed
her that Mary Spar, another sister Of
Miss Clafin, claimed the works OF art as
her own and that he had authority from
her 10 seize them. This he did, notwith-
standing the protestations Of Mrs. Miles,
and removed them TO keTigan's sales
rooms in Wilioughby street.
1t was claimed by Mrs. Spar that after
Commodore Vanderbilvs death she came
into possession of the painting entitled
Aurora and that Mrs. Miles Ia pre-
venting her from securing what rlghtfully
belongs 20 her. On the other hand, 10 IL
asserted that while upon the deck OF
forelgn-bound steamer Mrs. Spar abb
stracted the bill Of sale OF the picture from
the pocketboOk Of Miss Ciafiin, and that
she has no legal right 10 the painting.
Yesterday Mrs. Miles, through her coun-
sell Lawyer Spencer, filed a demand for
the return Of the goods 20 her, declaring
that they belonged 70 Tennie Clatin, and
that she Mrs. Miles, was intrusted with
the care Of them.
The case will come up for consideration
In the City Court In September Then 10
is quite likely that the famous Miss Clafiin,
with all the added dignity Of bride, will
appear as a witness. M

A PREVENTIVE OF CHOLERA.
How the Epidemic of 1866 was Stopped
in the City Hospital.
From the PAt5adelpAta Times.

From the PbiJadelDhia Times.
In the treatise on Therapeutics and
Materia Medica" by Prof. d. c. Wood, Of
the University of Pennsylvania, is given
an account OF the results obtained by DR..
Roland G. Curtin, when resident physi-
clan in the Insane Department Of Block
ley Hospital, from the use OF sulphuric
acid during the severe epidemic Of cholera
in 1866. DR.. Wood writes as follows
Therapeutics, Materia Medica and ToX-
icology''-p. 1907:
1.-The disease ceased in the Insane De
partment within twelve hours
after the lunatics were ali put upon the
free use Of the sulphuric acid lemonade;
the Onlv new case after this being I'm a
man who refused to use the prOphylactic.
Two DAYS after the use of the sulphuric
acid was stopped, two new cases occur
red, and the epidemic was again arrested
by the use Of the acid, In the surgical
wards Of the hospital department the acid
was used from the beginning Of the cpl
demic, and these wards, although in no
way isolated. were the only parts OF the
institution unvIsited by the disease"
At the same time new cases OF cholera
were constantly being sent into the hos
pital from the city, so that the patients
were greatly exposed to the disease
The method OF making the lemonade
was as follows see DR.. Curtin's article in
the Philadelphia Medical Times, July II,
1879: about twenty drops Of the III
lutte sulphuric acid were mixed with toui
ounces Of water and sweetened with white
sugar. Some oil Of lemon and rev cul
lemons greatly assisted in the Disguise"
Every possible means OF cutting short the
outbreak had been tried previous to tint
without good effect.

Prom ne Nsso YORK Telegram.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-The report
that Appointment Clerk Higgins has in
his possession a complete list of Repubu-
can clerks who contributed to the cam
paign fund last fall has a certain founda-
ton in fact but the whole statement
must be taken with a grain of salt. AS
soon as Mr.. Cleveland had been elected
the most strenuous efforts were made by
the Democratic National Committee to
gethold of these documents In each and
every instance they were baked, and if it
mad not been for an accident or careless
ness on the part of the Republican COM
mittee they would have remained in total
ignorance Of what had been going on and
the amount OF money raised here In Wash
ingtOn.
MIR. HIGGINS CANCAN.
Mr.. higgins astOnished the Treasury
clerks by jumping into the air, cracking
ms heels together, and declaring that at
last ne had obtained possession of the full
records OF the CIapp committee. MIR.
higgins was so emphatic and joyful that
several Republicans quietly began to in
VesIgate the matter, and to-day the re-
suits of that investigation were made
known for the hrst time. The facts are
these AS early as last November the
members of the Democratic National
Committee determined 10 get possession
of the books of the Republican committee
IN order to obtain the names OF those Re
publican clerks who had contributed to
the campaign fund. 1t is not necessary

sought to be accomplished. II is enough
to say that they were baked at every
turn. The Clapp committee did not have
traitor. Finally, it was thought best
to dispose OF part of the great mass of
| papers which had accumulated, and these
were sold To firm of BALTIMORE paper
makers. The agents of the Democratic
committee had their eyes upon every
movement of the Republicans, so one of
them was ordered to procure the dOcu-
ments from the paper manufacturer.
HOW THE EVIDENCE WAS PROCURED.
He spent a great deal of time hunting
over the immense mass of rubbish, and,
finally, he selected few papers which
| be thought might be useful and gave them
TO Appointment Clerk Higgins. II can be
authoritatively stated that the books Of
the Clapp committee have not passed into
the hands of the Democrats, but there are
scraps of paper and memoranda of GER
tain subscriptiuns In the possession of
MIR higgins, and upon this information,
he proposes TO makeit warm for the clerks
whose names are down as having contri-
buted. There is a story current here that
the Republicans propose to issuse PAM
phlet showing the names of the new Dem
ocratic Office holders, the amount Of their
contributions and the nature of their SER
vices 70 the party ,ipythe last election. 1t

Instructors Door With an AK.
Iron, tho Neq0 York Eorld.
New HAVEN, CONN, June 22.---An in
cident outside Of the routine of commence
ment week took place night or two
ago on the Yale College campus. A num-
Der of 's2 men sat under the elms discus
sing college days. Ii is alleged three of
the party were Intoxicated One awOke
about 10 O'Clock and reminded his friends
that Prof. Frank TaTbell occupied quar-
ters In the tower-FOOm of the Durfie
Building. Prof. Tarbell was not a
popular man. He taught Greek. To his
room in the tower the three 'S2 men made
their way. One carried long hemp rope,
the others bore h0rse-pistol and an ak.
When they reached the Professors door
they took council. IL was decided that
the only pacific way they could get their
enemy TO come out from his room was to
sing. They began with 1--WE will hang
Jeff Davis" but soon drifted into, "We
will battle Prof. Tarbell in the sewer"
The student bearing the AK cried TO the
terrified professor to come out and take
his ducking like aman. Then the student
struck the door heavy blow with the
AK. Some one inside was heard to strike
a match and with Tedoubled efforts Prof.
TarbelPs visitors laid the ak upon the
door, but 1t withstood their efforts, and
aftOr knocking out u panel and finding
the key removed from the inside or the
lock they retreated. The college faculty
are making strenuous efforts to discover
the perpetrators. A New yorker who
had been dropped from the class of 'S2 Is
supposed to have been the ringleader.
