the case he'd the Malone crowd succeeded
~ lending one of their people into
tne ofiice. Ex-Postmaster Yost, the editor
on TIE Valley yrgfsian, was, IL is said,
urged for appointment, but months ago
when he called at the White House he was
given TO understand that he had no chance.
Inc President was at one tine favorably
enough inclined, especially ne he knew Mr..
fost owned the most Influential Rcpubll
can paper in Virginia, and had walked all
over the Malone crowd in his part Of the
state, but General Clarkso3. Republican
editor who IL the real power in the Post
Office Department, protested. and declared
that the fight made by Mr.. Yost and his
following AGAINST Boss Billy Malone had
put him beyond tho pale. and he no longer
considered the Yosts even rs members of
the Republican party any more.
The President then decided 10 appoint
COMPROMISE man, and Major McMahon was
agreed on months ago. and his appointment
was delayed on account Of the terrible
fight made by the Mahoneites.

That Is to Say. Malone 10 BE Consul Gem

From Our Regular CorrespendontI
WASHINGTON. April i2.-Seycral proini-
mont Virginia Republicans were met in the
city to-day 10y. the Dispatch correspondent,
and they talked again about tho report
that General Malone was anxious 90 80 as
Consui-General OF tho United States at
Paris. One of them, who is q man
prominent in she councils Of the
party, but who has opposed Malone
for several years, SAID: II was much
interested IN reading the statements in the
Dtspntch regarding the matter. and l also
saw in some other papers stories to the
effect that General Malone would not have
the place if he could get it. and that there
Was nothing in the rumor. Now ! hap
pen 10 know beyond q doubt That
efforts were being made, and they are still
being made to secure the place for General
Malone. In fact was approached by men
nigh in the Administration who asked me
II thought the anti-Mahone Republicans
IN Virginia would make much OF
kick If this place were to be given TO
Malone, and said that would not OBJ
iect, but on the contrary would be glad TO
get him out of the State, and addcd that l
thought that was the general sentiment
among tho Virginia Republicans opposed
10 Malone. Friends Of Malone in Virginia
have also admitted to me that
he would take the place, and while
they have not publicly announced that
they were trying TO get the appointment
for him they have been doing all they can.
Mahone's wife and daughter want to live
in Paris. and he docs not care 10 go there
Unless he can have something TO do. The
publication of the matter in the Dtspa'ch--
The first paper IN which the report
atpearsd-bas somewhat upset the plans
of the friends of Malone. IN my opinion,
and that may heve caused General Ma
homes friends 70 deny that no was an ap-
plicant for the place"
Suppose General Malone does not 90
abroad. what will he do in regard to tue
fight IN the Fourth congressional district
next fall? 2" was asked.
He will. think. run for Congress nm
self in all probability in the district. lie
was anxious to do so in 1886, and that was
what started the row between HIM and
ex. Congressman Brady"
Another Republican from Virginia was
asked to-day II he thought the report was
true that Malone would run one OF his own
negro followers in the district against
aHy anti-Mahone negro who might
run. provided he (Mahone) was not
himself the candidate, and the reply
was, "No. u il hardly probable
that there will be two negro candidates
in the district. There will be some white
Republican in the race, and II IL Is Mo
hone the independent negro VIII nave
p0orshow, but the vote, VIII be so dlVlueu
That the Democrats will likely retain con-
troll of affairs in the district. l hear that
,judre William t. Gaines Is going TO be
cand date again. He will not stand any
chance of success. however, for the nomi-
nation.

The question of ventilation is even
more difficult than that of heating. If
one uses stove the oxygen in the
room must supply the fire as well as
the lungs of the inmates, and unless it
is constantly REINFORCED from the out
side it will become exhausted, and the
air of the room will be unfit to breathe,
both from tile exhaustion of the oxy-
gen and from the exhalations from the
bodies of those who live in it. A good
way to ventilate is to close the doors
between the living room and the one
adjoining; then in the latter open all
the windows until the air is entirely
renewed; then close the windows and
open the connecting doors. This has
been used with success in the case of
invalids. Another way is to raise one
of the sashes few inches, and have a
strip of wood fitted snugly in below
the sash. The air will then enter up
ward between the sashes, and will
cause no draught. A hinged pane in
one of the windows is an excellent
thing, as is also ventilator set in one
of the panes. Boston Herald.

Strawberry Plants in Winter.

In setting out strawberries it is well
to select ground which is not liable to
be raked with sharp winter winds, and
where at least a partial covering of
snow will not be blown off and the
land left bare. The shelter of screens
of evergreens within few rods will be
useful. In nearly all localities, shell
tered or otherwise, winter mulching is
important. Even thin covering of
evergreen branches will afford protec-
ton enough for the strawberry plants
to come out with fresh and lively
green when uncovered in the spring,
contrasting with the dull and brown
color of the strawberry leaves that
have been fully exposed to the sun,
wind and freezing. If evergreens can
not be had, chopped cornstalks put on
thin enough to partly admit air and
light will cause the partial retention of
snow and shelter from hard winds. A
little covering of thin straw does well
if free from the seeds of weeds. This
covering is to be applied after the
ground is frozen, and not removed in
spring till danger has past of hard
ing.-Albany Cultivator.

II is said that Oliver Goldsmith once
seriously maintained, in dispute with
DIR. johnson, that man ways his upper
jaw in the act of mastication. Oliver
was away off, of course. Yet if Oil
yer had maintained that man general
ly, and women, too. in masiicating
prefer the left sides of the jaws, he
would have been quite right. For al
though ninety people out of a hun
dred may tell you that they masticate
on the right side. a test will prove that
at least seventy-five out of one hun
bred people use the molars on the left
side in preference to those on the right
L, however, the molars on the left
side were very scarce. man was likely
to shift to the other side. Therefore.
while man may think that he chooses
the right side of his own volition, the
fact generally holds good that he has
poor teeth on the left. Pittsburg Bull

An Exile In japan.

We were joined at table by for
eign gentleman with high check bones:
yellow face and slanting eyes, and
dressed in the latest European fashion
with high collar, four-in-hand scarf
and pointed shoes. He very cour-
teous, and managed what little Eng
fish he used as skillfully as he dresses.
And he gave me touch of the far
east in the story of his being here; for
he is under cloud, an amiable exile
whose return to his native land might
involve his being boiled in oil, or other
ingenious form Of death. ~
For well as he figured at luncheon
with us, l hear that he has been
obliged to leave because of his having
poisoned too many of his guests one
day at table-former enemies of his
and because of his having dispatched
with the sword those whose digestion
had resisted his efforts at Cancellation.
However this may be, his extradition
is demanded; to which he objects, and
invokes western ideas of civilization,
and protests that his excuses have
been merely political. John La Fargo

A Funeral in NapIes.

While traversing one of the narrow
streets was fortunate enough to see a
funeral, writes Naples correspond
ent. Of course, | was sorry for the
deceased, but | was glad, since there
was corpse, that / was there to see
the funeral procession, as it is one of
the most curious of sights. The corpse
is placed in a highly decorated recep-
tacle on a raised platform, which is
carried high over the heads of the
eight bearers. Then come about a
dozen of the Brothers of the Misere-
cordia in their grotesque costumes of
a white flowing sheet, with heads en-
tirely concealed by the same, save the
large holes cut for eyes and mouth
looking like ghosts of the past After
them came about twenty old chaps
dressed in black, with huge black hats
of ancient make. After these came the
relatives and friends, the Brothers of
the Miserecordia and the solemn old
chaps who are, hired for the occasion.
No funeral in Naples would DO COM
plete without them.
