AMUsnMsNrs OF THE WEEK.
Am Attractive Bill at the Academy
The Kinks. III

N-~1 ~~--~--~@
Boucicault played all last week to good
houses at the Academy of Music, and he
deserved all the success he achieved. The
attractions this week are of another kind.
"a Celebrated Case" an emotional drama,
will be on the boards the first three even
ings of the week. The play is one of the
marked sue cesses of the Union Square,
and had wonderful run there. The story
of the play is splendid one, and it will be
enacted here with all the attractions of
scenery and cast that gave it such great
hold OH the public Of New York City
s'We, Us 4 Co.," which is to be pro-
duced the last three days of the week, is
one of those new things that now and
then pop up in the amusement line, and
throw everybody into real, generous,
hearty laughter. There is fun in it from
beginning to end, and the fun is mainly
new. The audience is constantly running
up against an amusing surprise. The en-
tire performance is perfect creation in its
way-perfect for the purpose for which it
was designed. 1t. is fortuitous, happy,
gladsome and satisfying all the way
through. 1t is quite the habit of people
who 90 to funny shows to say after the
performance is over that there was lot of
| foolishness in it. OF course there was,
but don't the world like foolishness
Don't people crave it as they do a re-
| freshing cocktail, or cup of tea, or bot
| tie of efferyescing soda 'sWe, Us u Co. 7"
was written to amuse, and it does aniuse.
It amuses those in the orchestra as well as
/ those in the top gallery. 1t is broadly hui
morous and delicately humorous by turns.
There are many exquisite points in it the
most refined man or woman on earth
would heartily enjoy. There is no plot to
speak of, but there is a sort of framework
| which is artistically filed What is hid
| out to be done is done well. The cast is a
| thoroughly competent one.
The attendance at the Alpha Skating
/ Rink is still on the increase. For this
| week the extra attractions are as follows -
Tue sday and Thursday evening M IS
Blanche Hayden, 'sThe Fairy Queen" On
Friday evening the grand Chldrens' CarIi-
val will take place. Six beautiful silver
I prizes are to be awarded for the costumes
worn by the skaters. sc Lo! The Poor In
dian" will appear. Special music and
| wonderful kaleidoscope effects.
The Park Rink has been very well at
| tended during the week, and the enter
tainment for the different evenings was en-
joyed by ALL The fancy skating for the
week was very good, but the best exhibi-
ton was given by Messrs. Dracount and
Lunbury, two famous Norwegian skaters,
who did some difficult acrobatic feats in
good style, and elected great applause fol
the graceful manner in which they did
their fancy skating. Next weeks pro
| gramme will no doubt have some good at
| fractions.

THE NEW REGIME.


Charge-T'he New and the Old.
WASHINGTON, March THE formal
transfer of the Treasury Department from
Ex-Secretary McCulloch to Secretary Man
ming took place at 1890 o'clock this morn
ing. Secretary McCulloch said yesterday,
in speaking of the change in the admins
tration, that he took it for granted that MIR.
Manning shared the views of President
Cleveland on the question of finances, and
as the Presidents views on that subject
were strictly in accord with his own. he did
not anticipate any change in the present
financial policy of the government.
Promptly at II o'clock four of President
Cieveland's Cabinet-Mr. Bayard, Mr..
Whitney, Mr.. Endicott and Mr.. Garland -
entered the office OF the Secretary of State.
Mrs. Endicott, wife of the new Secretary
of War, accompanied the party, as did also
Justice Field Of the United States Su-
preme Court Immediately after entering,
MIR. Bayard took the oath of office, which
was administered by Justice Field. The
party then went to the room occupied by
Secretary Chandler, where Mr.. Whitney
took the oath of Office as Secretary of the
Navy. In Secretary Lincoln's Office the
oath was administered to Mr.. Endicott.
Mrs. Endicott entered the room on t e
arm of Mr., Bayard. Attorney General
Garland was sworn into Office at the De-
partment of Justice about noon to-day.
The oath of Office. was administered by
Mr.. Justice Field, of the Supreme Court,
IN the presence of Attorney General
Brewster, Secretaries Bayard, Manning,
Whitney, Endicett and Lamar and few
others. The party proceeded from the De-
partment of Justice to the Treasury De-
partment, where the oath of office was adj
ministered to Secretary Manning by JUS
tice Field It IS said at the White House
to-day that President Cleveland will go to
church tomorrow. A pew has been re-
served for him in the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church No President ever
came 10 Washington from whom so much
is expected as Cleveland. Only a few
Tammany partisans from New York and a
few kickers from Ohio predict failure for
him. Mr.. Hrthur has been going through
a regular round of complimentary enter
tainments since he left the White House.
On Wednesday the Frelinghuysens gave Q
dinner in his honor. Thursday Marshal
McMichall; Friday, Judge John Davis,
and an afternoon tea by Senator Pendle-
ton; tonight, Senator Hale and so on
through next week. Mrs. McElroy left
for Albany to-day.

Fatal Explosion at Bayonne.

A terrific explosion occurred Friday eve
ming in the Standard Oil Company's distil-
lery at Constable Hook, owing to the gen.
Grafton of gases brought about by the
stoppage of an engine which moves ma
chiuery to force the gases from the stills
John Lynch, distiller, of Humphreys
street, Bergen Point, and George Lauer, a
foreman, of Avenue E, Bayonne, were the
only employees near by at the time. Lynch
was blown some yards away, and was in
stantly killed, his head, face and limbs
being terribly lacerated and broken.
Lauer sustained serious injuries, being
badly mangled and bruised. The fellow
workmen of the victims hastily secured
surgical assistance for Lauer, who was re-
moved to his home.

About Gen. Mcclellan.

New YORK, March IA special from
Washington to the Eueaing Post says that
at the War Department it is clear the of
fcers are pleased that Judge Endicott land
not General Mcclellan is not to assume
the portfolio The opposition to a mill
tary Secretary is bitter. Army officers say
that sound knowledge of law, and an alb
scence of personal feeling and prejudice
are essential qualifications for Secretary
The army is SO rent with disssensions that
man who has pronounced friendships, or
has taken prominent part in military mat
tiers could never secure their confidence.
at is remarkable fact, said an officer to-
day, fsthat Judge Endicott and Robert
Lincoln resemble each other so closely in
30 many ways They are men who think,
act and live alike. Their qualifications for
Secretaryship of War are almost identical.
The army will scarcely recognize change
in the legal views or in the methods of its
chief.

old Times in west Pennsylvania.

A few short intervening years, still
mere boy, journeyed on horseback from
the Monongahela to the banks of the ILL
nois river, bearing on my person the
money to pay for 800 head of cattle. The
money was in bills of the Monongahela
bank, of Brownsville, and the Farmers
and DroVers' bank of Waynesburg, Pa
The issues of those banks were current in
Illinois when the bills of eastern banks,
and of all but one bank in Pittsburg, were
at a discount. At Wheeling, w. Va, l
secured Ohio bank notes to pay my way
across the state, and repeated the exchange
for Indiana Thank God, the day of
wildcat banks is gonel The 800 head of
cattle had been fed on the cheap Illinois
corn then often used as fuel by the farm
ers of the prairie country, and were driven
TO Philadelphia.
From the time the grass was, as the
farmers say, "knee high to a duck, in
the early spring till late in the fall, when
the corn is ripe, droves of cattle, sheep,
hogs, mules and horses made endless pro
cession along the old drove road across
Greene and Fayette counties, Pennsyl-
Vania. The cow boy of those days was an
humble individual who trudged on foot
either in the lead or bringing up the rear
Of the drove He was armed with long
whip made of plated leather strips fast
ened to a short hickory stick, The whip
lash from a half inch IN diameter at one
end gradually swelled to more than an
inch and tapered to an eighth of an inch,
and terminated in a silk cracker. p" The
hickory whip-stick was about two
and half feet long, tapering from an
inch at the butt to n halfinch at the
top. How an expert cowboy could hand
one of these instruments of torture! Many
of them were ambidextrous Swinging
the long lash above their heads with
quick jerk they would produce
q report as loud as that of
huntsman's rife Indeed the similarity
of sound gave rise TO the sayin:
whip like report of the Kentucky rife.
The ordinary drive of a drove of cattle
was from six to ten miles Cay. A long
and tedious journey from Illinois to Phil
adelphial But the cowboy was a superior
being to the hog driver The latter was
despised creature. The farmer boys
always saluted them with "Slopgl 40
cents day and no dinnexl"

DOCTORS AND UNDERWEAR.
Physical Effects of Wool, Cotton, Silk
and dedicated Fabrics.

Silk makes the finest uEderclothing ia
the world, as well as the most expensive,
but few people can wear it without en-
during much inconvenience and even pain.
Whoever has tried to wear garments next
to the skin of this material, will not forget
the peculiar jerking, twitching sensation
and the nervous irritability which it causes.
Nervous people cannot endure it and are
obliged to throw the garments away.
The cause of the peculiar effect of wear
ing the silk garment next to the flesh
is explainable in this way: Silk is a gen
orator. When it is rubbed vigorously
on a glass tube the effect is to
generate electricity, which charges the
glass By wearing it next the skin it I'M
doubtedly generates an abnormal guam
city of electricity in the skin and causes
the peculiarly pricking and cramping SEN
sation which is sure to follow with most
people For several years manufacturers
have been experimenting to find some
way to obviate this difficulty, but without
result.
Another one of the many things which
have drawn money from the hosiery man
ufacturers is the undecided question as to
whether cotton or wool is most effective
in preventing and curing rheumatism. 1t
Is alleged by wooden manufacturers that
person who has always worn wool under
clothing will never be subjected to rheu-
wool upon the nervous system is to keep
it always in healthy condition by prop
erly absorbing moisture and eXcretions of
the skin. Cotton dealers deny this and
declare that wool is only an auxiliary to
nature in limited degree in helping to
keep the nerves in proper condition, and
that cotton is just as effectual
The physicians declare in favor of
wool but they can know ibut little about
It, for they declare that the wool must be
medicated
Possibly the alleged medication is
myth. There are curative properties
about the goods which the rheumatic buys.
He generally purchases red, but in truth
there are no advantages whatever in red
or any other color over white. The
wooden goods are undoubtedly much bet
ter for the complaint than cotton. When
YOU put on a wooden shirt, for instance,
there is a sensation of warmth about it
Immediately Put on cotton and there
Is a contrary sensation of a chill, I'M
til the heat of the body has warmed the
garment The difference between the two
Is that wool contains animal heat, while
cotton does not Wool is also a much
better ventilator and a superior absorbant.
It admits of the free circulation of air and
absorbs the perspiration thrown off by the
body. On the contrary, cotton garments,
if closely knitted, are almost air tight, and
consequently poor ventlators. If the
body throws off q moisture they do not
absorb it, and the consequence is inactiv-
ity. Often considerable stirring about is
likely to cause the warm moisture to be
turned into freezing GOODNESS and the body
will be chilled

IN long and interesting account of
Burlington, which recently appeared
in the Boston Journal, the University
of Vermont occupies considerable space,
but no mention is made of the State
Agricultural College, Notwithstanding
over 100000 has been paid over to the
university by the state in the last fif-
teen years for the support of such an
institution. But it is not one of the
lions of Burlington, and probably the
writer of the article in question was
not informed of its existence. OF things
non-apparent, and things non-existent,
the " ratio" is the same, says an old
philosophical rule. But we go on pay
ing, just the same, and nobody COM
plains" except a few sore-heads."
By-and-by these sore-heads will be
quoted to prove that right and justice
have not been without their witnesses
during the evil days when Vermont
farmers cared not for their right or
their duty in this matter.

Finance and Trade.

The statement of all the national
banks of the country upon March 10th
shows unusual strength in gold specie
and illustrates the absurdity of any i'm
mediate expectation of premium on
gold, about which we heard apprehen-
sions expressed a few weeks ago. In
the last eighteen months the banks
have increased their holding of specie
nearly $50 ZOO, 900, and it now stands
at S167 ,115, 900, composed as follows:
Gold coin, $5S, 797 900; treasury certif-
Gates (gold), $40, 250 900; clearinghouse
certificates (golD, &24 1854 900; total
gold, $153, 401 900; silver coin and GER
titicates, about S13,703, 900. AS the to-
tai national bank circulation now out
standing is only 1915, 600, 900, the banks
now hold gold money to the amount of
over fifty-five per cent of their notes.
In the same eighteen months the cir
culation has declined S36, 200, 900, the
deposits $50 100000 and the total liza
bilities $59, 1856 900. An increase of
S14 $50 900 in capital stock and the in
crease of the banks to twenty-siX hun
dred seventy-one in number indicate that
the decline of circulation is not de-
cline of the system.
We cut the above from the Springfield
Republican, as confrmatory of some of
our own statements, though from an anti
silver source. We call attention to the
gradual decline of the bank-note circu-
lation, which follows the redemption of
the national bonded debt, and leaves
room for the increase in silver as repre-
sented by silver certificates, used as
currency. Without further legislation
this will continue, until one quietly re-
places the other without jolt or jar, and
our national currency is properly settled
and harmonized with reason and justice.

Spot and Rust on Beans.

One of the greatest drawbacks in
growing beans extensively is the diff
ticulty of getting varieties and strains
of seed that will not spot or rust.
These maladies are not identical nor
always simultaneous, yet they both in
dictate weak constitution. But great
deal depends upon the skill and knowl-
edge of the grower. Some sorts will be
rendered utterly worthless by spot
ting when planted on soil highly
MANFRED with dung, while they will
grow quite clear on a poorer soil or
with commercial fertilizers. Seasons
have a good deal to do with this diff
ficulty, and even more with regard TO
rust. Yet some varieties, and some
strains of other varieties, seem to be
ironclad," and can be always relied
upon as free from both these diseases.
With me, all strains of Yellow Eye,
white and colored Valentines, Mohawk,
Red Eye, Mont dor Wax, all the Flag
eolets and the Refugee grow clean
wherever planted, and in all seasons

numbers that it is no longer pest; but

was instructed by friend to place
sweetened water on the bee stand to
catch the bee moth. / did so, and went
the next morning and found six moths,
but from examination they proved to be
the Goblin moth. l then determined
to try an experiment to catch Goblin
moths, and in the evening basin of
sweetened water was hung on a limb of
a harvest apple tree. To my JOY and
surprise / found, next morning, the
liquid in the basin was completely COW

dered the tinsmith to make me thirty
five or forty basins, holding trifle over
pint each, with wire balls by which to
hang them up.
The place selected to hang the basins
should be open and easy of access. No
more liquid should be prepared than is
needed for immediate use, for if kept
long it will lose its ripe apple or new
cider smell and taste. For thirty or
thirty-fve basins take gallon of rain
water and sweeten it, and then add a
little vinegar to give it aroma, for it is
the ripe apple or cider smell that at
tracts the moths to their liquid graves.
think sorghum molasses is best for
sweetening. The time for commencing
the use of the bath will depend on the
season-somewhere from the first to
the fifteenth of May-and it should be
continued until July, when the first brood
of moths will have been captured
