Poor BARLEY CampbeIps Creditors

"JOe" HOaodrd in Boston Globe.
BARLEY Campbell, the mad playwright,
is constantly annoyed at BloomiDgdale by
the attorneys of creditors who wish to
serve personal summons in suits brought
against him. For time this trouble was
overcome by Harry Miner refusing to give
permits to see Mr.. Campbell except to his
most intimate friends. Mr.. Wilder, an
attorney OF No. 140 Nassau street, called
upon DR.. Nichols, the superintendent OF
the asylum, for information whether he
could serve papers in a suit for $1,000
against Mr.. Campbell. The doctor said
that it would not only be dangerous to the
patient, but cruel. Mr.. Wilder, therefore,
refused to in anyway interfere with
Campbell, and it is probable that a new
feature Of the case will be developed.
Campbell has never been legally declared
insane, and, consequently, he is, in the
eyes OF the law, responsible for his acts,
and only upon him can a summons in
judicial proceeding be served in a suit
brought against his property. 1t is prob
able, therefore, that to save further in
convenience a commission will be ap-
pointed shortly to examine into his san
ity and take control of his property.

"Nym Crinkle" Among the Plays
and Players.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Comic opera
came to grief in "The Maid and the Moon
sinner" 1t dissolved this week. Lillian
Russell goes one way. l hear, and Solomon
another. Mr.. Hoyt, the American libret-
list, alone remains.
In few minutes talk with Mr.. John
Duff, who undertook to patronize the
American thing, he told me the old story.
The American thing was no good. The
papers could howl as much as they
pleased hereafter, but he would never
again bother with the native product.
II he wanted operas he'd go TO Europe for
them.
Per contra, Mr.. Rudolph Aronson, who
has been doing nothing but foreign operas
at the Casino, told me not an hour after
ward that he would rather have one good
American comic opera than the whole
foreign repertoire.
The difference is Just here. Mr.. Duff
cannot tell good opera from bad one.
He rushed into print with a declaration
that Messrs. Solomon and Hoyt had writ
ten something equal to the "Mikado." 1t
turned out to be unequal TO "The Tin
Soldier" Then he will never trust his own
Judgment again. Like all the rest OF them,
he thought Lillian RueselPs face and
ankles made an opera.

Maryels of Instinct,

The cold blooded adder would scarcely
be selected as an emblem Of maternal
love, and yet there can be no doubt that
it has frequently lost its life while seek
ing to preserve the existence of its young.
Mr. Garratt, an English writer, gives a
very circumstantial account of an ins.
tance in which very large adder was
seen on bank by the roadside basking
in the sun. The narrator of the story
advanced to assail the creature with his
stick. On observing him she gave a
slight hiss, at the same time raising her
head little and opening her mouth. The
signal was understood by her four little
ones, which instantly glided down her
throat. But her thought for her offspring
caused the mothers destruction, for the
act delayed the adder long enough for
him to strike again, and the snake, gorg.
ed with young, lay dead at his feet. Mr..
CARAT then removed her body into the
middle of the road to see what had be.
come of the insiders. He opened the
snake, and the four young came out all
alive.

swindlers as Bible Distributors.

The ubiquitous swindler has evolved
new plan by which to swindle the honest
farmer. A chap in clerical broadcloth
and white choker enters a farm house
and asks for lodging or dinner, as the
case may be. During his stay he an
nounces himself to be travelling Bible
distributor in the service of religious
institution, and he generally goes so far
as to present to the family a handsome
Bible from well-filled valise. He is
careful TO say that his society requires
its distributing members to pay their
own way, and exhibits vouchers thereof.
After partaking of the good folks hos
pitality he prepares to leave, and asks
for his bill. He is generally told no
charge is made, but he calls attention to
the rules, and insists on paying twen-
ty-tive cents per meal. Then he mildly
requires receipt on his blank form, "a
voucher, you know" and gets the farm
er to sign it. In ninety days there is a
notice from neighboring bank to the
pious farmer to call and pay the note for
$126. 20 which it bought and which bears
the farmers signature.

WASHINGTON.
URGENT" DEFICIENCIES PRO
VIDED FOR.
A Political Debate sn the Senats-Ex.
penses of the Grant Funeral.


WASHINGTON, March 10.-At late
hour this afternoon the Urgent Def
cheney bill'' passed the Senate, not, how
ever, without first giving rise to spirit
ed debate, in which Messrs. ingalls,
Plumb, Edmunds, and other Republicans
took occasion to point out the sham pre-
tensions to reform" of the present Ad.
ministration. The bill asks for $1S5, ,0OO
TO meet the deficiency incurred by the
Department of Justice in the payment of
fees to witnesses and jurors. This is a
larger sum by many thousands than was
ever asked for by Republican Attorney
General, Mr.. Plumb thought it was
time to call halt. Mr. Ingalls, followed
in the same strain, and took occasion to
say some pretty sharp things about the
reform" administration of the Depart.
ment of Justice. Mr. Edmunds thought
that the increase of the deficiency in the
Attorney Generals office meant one of
two things-it was either that the office
was managed wastefully or that previous
Attorney Generals had not done their
duty. While no explanation had been
given by the Attorney General, he
thought he could supply it. He had re-
ceived information from trustworthy
sources which showed that in many
places the new Democratic District At
torneys, in their zeal for reform" had
instituted suits and ordered prosecutions
which when brought into court had been
dismissed because there were absolutely
no grounds upon which to continue them
In this way large number of suits had
been ordered, and great expense incurred,
on frivolous and insufficient charges. He
would favor the passage of the bill, not
without reserving the right, however,
and this was said with good deal of
sarcasm-of calling at some future time
for the reasons why such an unheard-
Of increase in the deficiencies of the De
partment of Justice had occurred.
Mr.. Beck wished to have the bill laid
over until tomorrow until he could look
into it, but majority of the Senators
wished to have done with it, and accord
ingly it was passed 1t appropriates

MR.. VESTS SHARES OF PAN
ELECTRIC.

How He Got Them and the Price He Paid.
WASHINGTON. March 10.-Messrs. Hale
and Millard, the subcommittee appoint
ed to take the testimony of Senator Vest
in the Pan. Electric investigation, visited
him to-day for that purpose. He had
prepared statement which he verified
under oath. From this it appears that
he bought one hundred shares OF Pan
Electric Telephone stock in April or
May, 1884, from Senator Harris, the vice
president and one of the original stock
holders of the Pan Electric Telepone
Company. Mr.. Vest paid Senator Harris
81 900 for his stock, that being 10 per
cent. of the par value. He received sub
sequently certificate for only ninety
shares. 1t was explained to him that the
other ten shares were withheld to meet
expenses which might arise on account
of litigation affecting the validity of the
patents Either before or after he became
the possessor OF the stock Mr.. Vest was
furnished, upon his application, with a
copy of Senator Garland's opinion to the
effect that the Pan Electric patents did
not infringe the Bell patents. Some time
after he became the owner of the stock
he received letter and inclosure which
he was informed was a dividend upon
his shares, 1t amounted to $40 or $15.
He was informed that his stock carried
with it certain royalties and privileges in
local companies licensed by the Pan
Electric Telephone Company, but he did
not fully understand their nature and ex-
tent.
In July or August last, according to
the best of his recollection Mr.. Vest was
informed by Casey Young that the Gov
ernmsnt would bring a suit to annul the
Bell patent 1t seems that this informa-
alton was received by Senator Vest before
the proceedings of September were in
stituted by the Department of Justice.

Horatio Seymour's Advice to Young
Man.

DEAR SIR; am sorry you wish to get
place in one Of the State offices. / never
yet made or procured an appointment for
a young man for one of the clerkships
which did not in the end prove to be a
great injury to him. / look back with
regret to my action in this respect. If you
get place, in little while change will
throw you out, and you will be in worse
condition than ever. Now is the time
for you to get some employment which
will be lasting, and in which you can be-
come skillful, and where you will not be
dependent upon others. Any duties
which will give you your food and cloth
ing are better for young man than any
of the places in the departments. You
may think you want place only for a
time, l have heard that said so often by
those who have meant what they said,
and | have seen it turn out so sadly, that
| distrust all such ideas You write a
good hand and you can make yourself
useful in many ways. | am favorably
disposed toward you and your family,
and when | 60 to Albany shall be glad
to see you ] am in bad health, and am
confined to my house most of the time.
Yours very truly,

Tennessee Must BE Kept Clear of Pleuro-
Pneumonia.

NASHVILLE, March 12.-Monday Gov.
Bate received letter from Commission
er Campbell Brown, stating the particu-
lars of the purchase by Tenncssean OF a
small herd of cattle from point within
three miles of the Frisbie & Lake herd
in Kentucky, the herd from which the
jackson herd came. These cattle, pur
chased by DR.. F. b. Hamilton, fifteen
months since, resulted in Tennessee tc
ing quarantined against eleven state. and
have lost untold thousands of dollars TO
the breeders of Tennessee. The legislo.
ture passed stringent laws against tn i'm.
portation into the state of cattle that have
been exposed to danger of disease. Ii is
expected to get rid of the Jackson cattle
by process OF law, restoring the cattle
trade OF the state TO the important posi-.
ton it occupied before the importation of
the baneful herd, and the prospect of the
importation of more cattle from the same
neighborhood is not a joyful one to breed
ers, as was evidenced by the reception of
letter here from Jacob l.. Thomas of
Knoxville, asking that something be done
TO prevent the importation of the cattle
purchased by Mrs. G. ii. Cherry of Frank
lin county from near the Frisbie & Lake
herd.
Gev. Bate acted in the matter Monday,
sending copy of the law to the purchas,
er of the cattle, so that ample warning
may be given. He also wrote implicitly
forbidding the importation of such cattle
There is no doubt that the law will he
strictly enforced.

How to Brush the Teeth.

This is a matter of no small import.
ance. Most people brush across the teeth
from right to left. This manner of
brushing will not remove the accumula-
tions from beneath them, but tends rath-
er to force the debris into the interstices.
The brush should be placed against the
teeth at the gums, and rotated toward the
masticating surfaces. 1t will thus act
somewhat like bundle of fine tooth
picks. In order to make the work effect.
ual, the brush should be applied, as de-
scribed, both inside and outside of the
teeth, and also upon the grinding surfac-
es of the double teeth.

Last Tuesday evening the Hancock
Dramatic Company appeared at Phoe.
nix Hall in the drama emit tied "The
Pauper", of FIVE acts. The Company
was greeteds by large saudience,
whom were all we'll pleased. The
play is long one, and the manner in
which it was conducted showed on
the part of it's members deal of hard
wo,k and study in its preparation. OF
the cast of characters, in point of ex-
cellence, it would be difficult to make
an exception. The parts "The Pau

very good, particularly that of '.Mrs.
