No Action on Lard.

WAsHINGToN, July 22.-There is to be
no action in the house at this session upon
any OF the measures to prevent the adul-
teTaton or the compounding of. lard. The
opposition is so great and the interests are
so conflicting that the house committee on
agriculture has decided thai it is advisable
to give the subject further consideration,
and the bills have been reeommitted to
the sub committee with instructions to re-
port at the first regular meeting of the
committee in December next.
1t may be doubted whether the sub
committee will take any more testimony
between now and the next regular meet
ing of the committee in December next,
but the differences in the committee were
so considerable and 1t seemed so improba,
bic that any question should be taken
upon the bill if it should be placed upon
the calendar at this meeting that it was
deemed advisable to postpone the sub
ject.
The opponents of the bill. if they are
determined to defeat any legislation, have
gained an important advantage by the
p%ostponement, for in the short session it
will be much easier to prevent action if a
measure has not been favorably reported
and found an eligible place upon the cal
endar.
The postponement was secured by a vote
in the committee of 10 to 4.

Forty Indictments.

ST.. LOUIS, July. 22.-Information has
been received from Crittenden county to
the effect that the grand Jury, which has
been investigating the Punishment of
eighteen negroes by ar armed organlza-
ton, has made its report. The result is
a return of nearly forty indictments.
The grand jury found that anonymous
notes had been sent to a number of white
men by the negroes, giving the whites
five days to leave the county. Upon re-
ceiving the threatening epistles the whites
met, armed themselves and escorted out
of the county the negroes implicated.
Among those who received orders 10
quit the county within five days were Col.
j.. +. Smith, the leading merchant OF
Marion; Sheriff w. f. Warner of Crit
tenden county: j. III. Stevens, a black
smith; l.. P. p. Berry, lawyer, and S. Q.
Mosby, a former magistrate of Marion.
The grand Jury succeeded in tracing
anonymous threats to the office Of the
county clerk, David Ferguson, one of the
negroes banished. His Office was opened
and fragments of anonymous notes which
evidently had not seemed to be satisfacto-
ry, we're found on the floor. Experts
pronounce the handwriting as that of j.
w. Ramsey, a young South Carolina
negro in the employ of Ferguson as a
clerk.
The immediate motive for sending the
warnings was found in the fact that Fer
guson and D. W. Lewis, a negro county
Judge, had been indicted by a former
grand jury for habitual drunkenness, the
penalty for which was removalfro Office.
His intention was to create a reign of
terror and break the force of the prosecu-
tions. The testimony before the grand
jury was highly sensational.

TRINIDAD, Colo, July 23.-Informa-
ton reached here this morning that about
noon to-day 100 settlers rode to the ranch
of Geo. Blosser, near Ratou, and rein
stated him to the possession of his ranch
which, during the absence of Blosser and
family from home, had been turned over
to the representatives of the Maxwell
grant. The grant is taking vigorous
measures to dispossess the settlers. The
settlers vow they will not give up until
the private land claims committee of the
lower house of congress shall say whether
or not the ruling of Secretary of the In
terror Cox in 1869, declaring these lands
part of the public domain, has the force
of law or not. Great excitement prevails
and personal violence is feared.

The Two Emperors.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 23.-Court cir
cles think the prolonGation of Emperor
Williams stay, together with the courte.
Gus and cordial nature of the interviews
between the two emperors, although no
direct political illusions were made, indi-
cate the resumption Of amity between
Russia and Germany tending to general
European peace. Leading diplomatists
believe that no tangible outcome will re-
suit from the visit such as. in the meet
ings at Skiernevick and Kremsier, but
that the two emperors simply desire to
remove the misunderstanding between
the two countries. To day was occupied
at Krasnoe witnessing the cavalry man
Guvres and a review of the Cossacks,
directed by the Grand Duke Nicholas.

Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The president
sent to congress to-day o message trans
hitting the fourth annual report of the
civil service commissioners, covering the
period between the 10th of January, 1886,
and the LIST of July, 1887.
The first half of the message is a Stats
teal analysis of the commissioners report,
the remainder of the message embodies
President Cleveland's latest ideas on the
subject of civil service reform. This por-
ton of the message in full reads as fol-
lows:
The path of civil service reform has not
at all times been pleasant nor easy. The
scope and purpose of the reform has been
much Inexperienced and this has not
only given rise to strong opposition, but
has led to its invocation by its friends to
compass objects not in the least related to
it. Thus the partisans of the patronage
system have naturally condemned it.
Those who do not understand its meaning
either mistrust it or when disappointed
because in its present stage it is not APP
piled to every real or imaginary i'll charged
those responsible with its enforcement
with taithlessness to civil service reform.
Its importance has frequently been under
estimated and the support of good men
has thus been lost by their lack of interest
in its success.
Besides all these difficulties, those re-
sponsible for the administration OF the
government in its executive branches
have been and still are often annoyed
and i~rritated by its d~isloyalty to the ser
vice and the insolence of employees who
remain in place-the beneficiaries and the
relics or reminders of the vicious system
of appointments, which civil service re
form was intended to ~displace. And yet
these are but the incidents of an advance
movement whice is radical and far-reach-
ing. The people are, Notwithstanding,
to be congratulated upon the progress
which has been made and upon the firm,
practical and sensible foundation within
which this reform now rests. With a
continuation of the intelligent fidelity
which has hitherto characterized the work
of the commission and with a continua-
ton and increase of the favor
and liberality which have lately been
evinced by congress for the proper equip
ment of the commission for its work, with
a firm but n conservative and reasonable
support of the reform by all its friends,
and with the disappearance of opposition
which must inevitably follow its better
understanding. The execution Of the
civil service law cannot fail to ultimately
answer the hopes in which it had its
origin. GROVER CLEVELAND.

A Fast Steamer.

LONDON, July 23.-The new Inman
line steamer City of New York has com
pleted her trial trip. She is the largest
passenger ship in the world, being four.
teen feet longer than the City of Rome.
She is built almost on the lines of a yacht,
and her enormous engines develop extra
ordinary power. 1t is anticipated SIZE

over six days. She was tried for speed at
short intervals several times and in each
trial made twenty-five miles an hour.

rhe Work of the wood-Carvers.

In ornamenting these new homes in
Washington, l think l notice the absence of
the wood-carver That is an old and pretty
art which we have let go by. The first
statuary in America was Woodworking you
can see it in some of the old churches and
public halls, like the state-hOusa of Phila-
deIphia and Christ church, and perhaps at
Ann lpolis. Our people, who are now rich
and are building themselves houses to stand
for hundreds of years, might proftably re-
vive the wood-carver's occupation, which
has somewhat gone out of use because of
the substitution of iron for wood in ships
the woOd-carV er got his most frequent job
in carving bowsprit, where he could put
the Goddess of Liberty, or Neptune, or
Naiad on a portrait.
Cincinnati has, perhaps, the best wood
carver in the United States-an old gentle
man who came out from Engl1nd in his
comparative youth, and | fancy that there
are more houses in the territory adjacent to
Cincinnati with wood carvings in them than
anywhere in our time. The use of brackets
for vases and statuary is a step toward the
wood-carver's return to power. The tend
ency to ornamented mantels is also bring
ing the wood-carvers back. Some time ago
1 had occasion to look for man to carve
me piece of wood to set in mantel piece,
and found that there were none in New
York except those attached to furniture
factories and some who carved signs for
business houses The wOod-Carver can be a
thorough artist. In the old parts of the
capitol at Washington l have seen good
many interesting things suggestive OF
kind of art which has rather passed away,
hnt which may return again. -"Gath" in
