GOSSIP OF THE CAPITAL.
Rising and Falling Hopes oi
 Office Seekers.
Selections, but There Are Obstacles in His Way-rhe Foreign Missions-Making Place for Judge Gresham.

WASHINGTON, March 16-Channcey M. Depew is said to be the presidents choice for the English mission Whether Mr. Depew would accept the appointment were it ten dered to him is doubtful. His friends here do not think it likely that he would throw up such highly paid position as the presidency of the New York Central for that of English minister with its comparatively small stipend
 It is said that Mr. Depew was the man the president had in his mind for the English Slisson when he disagreed with Blaine about the pest Mir. Whitelaw Reid, the White House gossips say, can undoubtedly have France if he cares for it, or Germany.
 Failing MT. Depew, MT. Evarts appears to be the favorite and his name has been sug- gested to the president for the English mis- sion by New York politicians Warner Miller's friends think he deserves this mis- sion, but if he cannot have it the way ought to be opened for him to reach the senate by sending MT. Evarts to England. It is believed by III any, however, that Mir. Evarts does not want to leave the senate, and that Warner Miller's chances for the mission are not very good.
 Col. Fred Grant called on the president yesterday. He is hopeful that he will be nominated for the mission to China.
 Messrs Chi.ds and Drexel, of Philadelphia, were quite chiiied by the manner in which President Harrison replied when they called few days ago to present the name of Col. Grant for this mission. He remarked in an off hand way, as if Childs and Drexel were strangers and ordinary self seeking visitors: "Well, I'll take the papers,"
 In connection with the belief that Justice Stanley Matthews is upon his deathbed, it is stated that Judge Walter Q Gresham, of the United States circuit court, will be appointed in the event of a vacancy by the death or resignation of the Ohio jurist. A short time before President Harrison le Indianapolis for Washington Judge Gresham spent an evening at his house. When he left the resi- dence of the president Judge Gresham was in such excellent humor that some of his friends who are intimate with the present occupant of the White House made inquiry and ascer- tained that the subject of Gresham's going upon the bench of the United States supreme court in the event of vacancy has been talked over. Justice Matthews, recognizing his probable inability to ever sit upon the bench again, proposes rendering his resigna- tion to the president, and Gen. Harrison will thereupon nomlnate Judge Gresham in his stead.

DOCTORS GAVE HER UP.

Calvary Evangelical church, to which
she belonged, selected his text for her
funeral sermon. She made all prepe~q-
tons TO die, giving up her only child n,
her divorced husband, with whom She
also made peace.
Believers in the faith cure called on
her, but she refused 20 have anything tn
do with them, persisting in taking meif-
cine until a week ago. Last THURSDAY
night prayers were offered for her bv ar
rangement, and instantly all her ureri-
GUS terrible suffering ceased, and yeste7-
day morning she got up, and since thar
time has been doing her housework as be-
fore her illness.
The case is such q marked one, Nr,
Tinker being so widely and well known
that the people are perfectly amazed ut
her recovery.

WHEAT AND FLOUR.

The Wonderful Record Made by Minneapolis
in This Trade.
MNNEAPOLIs, MINI, Aug. 31.-Min-
neapolis continues to enjoy the distlnc-
ton of being the greatest primary wheat
market in the world. The total wheat
receipts for the crop year ending to-day
are 50 900 900 bushels in round numbers
This is 10, 900 900 bushels less than last
year owing to the light crop. Total re-
ceipts last year were AZ ,533 ,43O, and in
1887 it was 80 ,248 $50.
The -four output fell off a little this
year owing to the poor quality of wheat
and high prices for flour in midwinter
Exports are also lighter for the same
reason. The price of flour was too high
TO compete with winter wheat men.
Total output for the year ending to-day
5 III ,450 barrels, and exports, ,532 ,345
barrels as compared with ,282 $40 and
1858, ITO respectively last year.

WE DOUBT if there is any Northern city where
negroes are given the advantage of an industrial
training, fitting them for mechanical trades.
The truth is there is very strong feeling at the
North against negroes entering the trade
[Pittsburg Post.
Sentiment VS.. self interest is a contest
where sentiment is invariably the loser.
So long as the negro is in the South he
should be il the drawing room, in the
counting house and in the workshop; he
should battle in Southern waters, dance
IN Southern ball rooms and hold positions
of trust as a government official. But
let him move across the invisible line of
demarcation between the North and the
South and the fact is patent to all that
his Northern brethren do not desire him.

Adulteration of Coffee.
Boston Herald.

So extensive is adulteration of coffee it
is not easy to obtain the pure article,
even, although the highest prices be
paid. The substances commonly used
in adulteration are chickory, roasted
grains, peas and beans. The principal
element of roasted chickory is sugar; it
is useful in coloring the decoction, but
adds nothing to its virtues. As for the
other substances, although they may be
harmless, considering their use from an
economic point of view, nothing is made
by buying coffee which contains them,
even if the price of the mixture be much
under that demanded for the pure article.
This is evident when it is known that
