Rufus Magee, the newly appointed minister to
Norway and Sweden, at the Denison House,

the pleasantest features of tffe occasion was The
presentation to Minister Magee of very elab-
crate and handsome floral piece, representing
the Swedish flag the gift of Mrs. Foulke.
Senator Magee's response to the toast of "Our
Honored Guest" was especially, felicitous,
as, indeed, were all the responses.
The toast, 1.-THE Dying Hero" in honor
of General Grant, was drunk standing and in
silence. The occasion was rendered especially
pleasant by reason of the fact that it was en-

EB HENDERSON DESPONDENT.
While Not Relinquishing Hope, He Thinks
DR.. Hunter Will Get McKay's Office.

Eb Henderson the chairman of the Democrat
ic State central committee, who has been in
Washington for several days looking after his
interests as applicant for the Office of internal
revenue collector in this district, was in the city
yesterday. He still has some hope that he will
receive the appointment, but he says that it is
quite probable that DR.. Hunter, of Lawrence
burg, will be named by the President. Hunter
has the hearty support of Congressman Hol-
man, who has asked the appointment from Pres
ldent Cleveland as the only favor that he
has solicited during public career of twenty
four years. He has been persistent and earnest
in urging DR.. Hunters appointment, and Mr.
Henderson said that it was reported in Wash

THE KNIGHTSTOWN HOME.
The New Board Effects an Organzation-Can
didates for Superintendent.

The new trustees of the Knightstown Soldiers
Orphans Home have been qualified, and held
yesterday, their first meeting, in Auditor Rice's
Office where an organization was effected by the
election of the following officers: President, B.
i. Smith, of Rushville; treasurer, James H.
Hsrris. of Noblesville; secretary, Mrs. Sarah
Pittman, of Bloomington The law provides for
the election of some one, not member of the
board to act as secretary; but Mrs. Pittman vol
unfairly took the place without extra
compensation. The board decided to visit
the Home next Tuesday night. No
changes will be made at present in the
instructors and subordinate officers of the inst-
tuition, and the selection of superintendent, to
succeed DR.. White, will be postponed ten days
It is probable that most of the forty employees of
the Home will finally be dscharged but changes
will be made slowly, and it is possible that two
or three of the present employees will be perma-
nently employed.
The applicants for the SUPPLEMENTARY are

THE CITY ABATTOIR.
An Inspection of The Establishment-The
Advantages 1t Affords Over Old Customs.

A Journal reporter accompanied Drs. Wands
and Sutcliffe, of the board of health, yesterday,
on their inspection of the abattoir, situated near
the stock yards. This institution is now under
the patronage and espionage of the board Of
health, and is daily inspected by the health off,
GERS. The abattoir system is the most perfect
arrangement yet devised for sanitary inspection
This stock company, for the consideration of the
ofal and hides, give the butchers the rent free of
the house, and butcher their beef, sheep and
pork for them. Nearly all the butchers in the
city have their meat slaughtered at the abattOlr,
except three or four For some time past the
abattoir not under the control of the board Of
health, save by cursory inspection, but now all
meats are daily inspected by officers. The
abattoir institution includes several buildings
which are scruplously cleaned every day. and
out Of the close inspection, a better class of
meat has been offered for sale.
In the beef killing apartment of the institu-
ton row after row of tempting beef hung in
rows, and the first spring lambs were spitted as
tempting trophies. During the inspection three
beautiful Jersey calves were killed and their
tender carcasses swung In mid air. Farmers
are selling Jersey calves quite frequently, as the
stock is only remarkable for cream giving. The
calves furnish, however, the daintest veal one
would wish to eat. 1t was formerly the custom
to bleed calves at the tail, so that the life fluid
slowly ebbed away, but this barbarous practice
has been given up; it was done to make the veal
white. This is the practice among Jewish butch
ers. Throughout the entire establishment the
same order of things was observed. The Board
of Health are to be congratulated upon arrang
ing and watching over such system. Having
all the meat slaughtered at one place, affords
facilities that can hardly be realized by the
smallness of the present force. The horse and
wagon that the council has granted for the use
of the officers will greatly aid in the sanitary
work throughout the city.

GRANT AS 4 CITIZEN AND SOLDIER.
Lecture of Col. James B. Black Last Night
Before the Morton Club.

The Morton Club met last night at its hall in
the Bates Block, to hear the address of Col
James B. Black on the subject, Grant A fair
Grants strategy lay in his common sense, rather
than his technical learning. His scientific
knowledge of war was not so great as other men
have possessed, but his victories have been as
glorious as any of the acknowledged masters of
strategy. Grant always began with the thing
next at hand. and wisely took care to improve
the present moment. Herein lay great part
of his military greatness. The life of a
soldier was especially fitting to one
of Grants nature, and he enjoyed every mo-
ment of it. His victories in the late war were
phenomenal, and the country came to lean upon
him, and look to him for the humbling of the
rebellious South. The great object of Grant
was to crush Lee and his methods of vanquish-
ing that great rival are historic and known to
all. Grant was never a politician, in the Amer
lean significance of that word He never sought
an office. His election to the presidency of the
United States was inevitable His taciturnity
IS proverbial, but it was never cover for crime
For his country Grant had an intense devotion,
which was not affected nor meant to draw patron
age. No doubt his heart has bled many times
at the charges of dishonesty made against him by
party fanatics, but history will record him u
spotless and singularly honest man. Whenin for
eign lands ne received the adulation of kings and
royal potentates, he attributed it to the glorious
country in which he lived and not to his own deeds
Grant was true to his friends; that was a part of
his greatness. He was above revenge, both in
war and political life OF his many vicious enc
mics he took notice, but believing and doing
what he thought to be right, his line of policy
was clearly marked out and followed. His
moral courage was as pronounced as his per-
sonal bravery. In battle he was cool and seem
ingly oblivious of all danger. In his plans of
action he asked no advice. The only coun
Gil of war he ever held was at Vicksburg.
Victory he always expected, and when achieved,
he never let it disturb his equanmity. Had he
won the battle of Gamma. he would not. like Han
nibal, have settled down in luxurious quarters,
but would have marched straight to Rome. The
faith which Grant had in success is not unlike
the faith which the Christian puts in his God
He was not vainglorious. No veni vidi vici
ever came from his lips. Grant was the
hand of God holding together the States in
Union. His life is an example of earnestness,
simplicity and faithfulness. All the traits of
true hero he possessed in the highest degree.
In his present suffering the Nation is extending
all its love and sympathy, and atoning as far as
possible, for the ingratitude of the past The
fame of Grant is the property of all true
Americans, and the deeds he has accomplished
will ever rebound to the honor and glory of our
Republic.

''FALKA" AT THE GRAND OPERA-HOUsE.
Last night tFalka," a new comic opera by
Chassaigne, was presented at the Grand Opera
house by the McCaull Opera Company. 'Falka'
is the brightest opera seen here this season, be-
ing sprightly in action, full of ingenious scenes
and Incidents and containing comedy interest
that is pleasant and natural. The scene while
not of pretentious kind, is full oe pleasing
melodies, and the choruses and tableaux
are picturesque and striking. AS the
action of the opera is laid in
Hungary in the eighteenth century. there is ad-
mirable opportunity for display costume and
character. These points have been well worked
out and the company appears well costumed.
The stage management last night was perfect,
and the pictures and drill were admirably given
The company is well balanced, and is the best or
ganization seen here this season. Miss Bertha
Ricc who enacts the role of 'Falka," possesses
rich and perfect voice, which she uses with ad-
nrable taste Miss Ray Samuels, who sang the
part of Edwidge, is we'll known here, and both
her singing and acting were clever. Mr.. Wilke
as Bolslas the picturesque chief of the Tzigani
made pleasing impression, both with his
capable Characterization and his baritone voice.
Won Folbach, the Governor, was played by Mr.
Cripps, who acted the part capably. Mr.. George
Boniface being sick, Tancred, the nephew, was
acceptably played by Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Nc
Donough, as Arthur, was funny, and MIR. Alfred
Klein as the lay father, made all there was in
the role Miss Lille Vinton, Miss Alice May
and, Miss Annie Leslie made the most of their
roles AS whole the opera is popular
