sUMCR.S or WAR.

War and rrtmors of war follow
each other in rapid succession this
week. Dispatches from Washing
ton state that Baron FAvA, the Ital-
ian minister, has been recalled from
the United States by his govern
ment on account Of dissatisfaction
i'll connection with the New Orleans
affair. Nothing in regard to the
matterca be learned at the State
Department, where strict silence is
observed. There seems to be a
general disposition at Washington
to, belittle the matter. Develop
ments will be watched with eager
interest.
The Indian situation IN the
Northwest is not altogether sati-
factory, and fears are entertained
that when spring opens the Indians
will goon, the war-path again, I'M
less the Government takes some
precautionary measures to.obViate
the cause of the trouble which is
the same as it WIS during the fall
andIwinter.
Advices from Berlin state that
the murder of the Bulgarian Min
lister Of Finance may precipitate oh
outbreak, and the triple alliance
Germany. Austria-Hungary, and
ITALY, are rapidly preparing for wal
in event Russia should advance al
army into Bulgaria. The peace
of Europe hangs by 3 slender
thread.
Natives attacked the British an
my garrisoned at ManiplW, India
last week, and two days of fierc,
fighting followed. At last tn,
ammunition of the besieged garrison
gave out, and a general massacr
followed, over four hundred bein,
killed.. Troops have been sent t,
the scene of war from Bengal.
Meagre news is given of the rev
olution that has broken out on tn
Comoro Islands in theMozambiqu
Channel, three hundredmiles mort
from the Madagascar coast.

PARrY BoLYERS.

Senator STANFORD, of Califor-
mia, is scheming for the Farmers
Alliance to nominate him for the
Presidency. 1t is said that he is
willing to spend S10,000,000 to that
end. Senator CHANDLER, of New
Hampshire, also wants to lead the
Alliance to victory. He is dissat-
isfied with the attitude of the Adj
ministration in the distribution of
patronage in that State, as well as
sore over the defeat of his favorite
to succeed Senator BLAIR, and he
now proposes to bolt the party.
It is common weakness Of the
independent candidate to believe
that his friends and admirers will
see him through at the polls, but
he is generally disappointed, and
Messrs. STAMFORD and CHANDLER
will be no exception to the rule.
They have not only failed to merit
the confidence Of the laboring peo-
pie, but their whole public career
has been antagonistic to the inter
ests Of the laboring classes, hence
theE have no admirers IN the ag-
ricultural South and West. The
men composing the Alliance are
not entirely devoid Of reason when
! it comes to, locating their friends
nor are they blind to the motives
of the men who have fathered the
sub-treasury scheme with no other
end in view than the forming OF
more fat Offices under the Govern
ment, more advantages for the ricf
and more taxes for the people
the injustice Of the measure ant
it's inequalities and Inconsistencies
are so transparent that the farmers
can not be deceived, and Senator
STANFORD will not find popular ia
vor in advocating such q measure
when the people know that thu
Government has not one dollar t.
] build numberless warehouses anC
pay an endless army of officers ex
cept what it raises by. taxation
They know THAT it is only anothe
measure for robbing Peter to pa,
Paul another measure for taxing
the producer to support a horde o
idlerers.

THE merit in the secrets ballot,
is that it protects the voter from
intimidation discourages brTb-
cry by making,it difficult to watch
the bribed voter. Doubtless this
is one reason why the Republicans
Of Pennsylvania, New Hampshire,
and Maine are opposed to'it. But
some Of the Republican papers are
ashamed of their opposition, and
the st. Louis Globe-Demoorat, a
Republican paper with a misfit
name, says: "The Australian bal

Al noon last Monday the Forty
Seventh General Assembly Of Ten
nessee adjourned sine die. 1t is
stated that this is the first time in
the history of the State that the
senate has adjourned with clear
calendar. While there are some
good laws to the credit of the as
sembly, it is to be regretted that a
measure for the collection Of gen
eral statistics was not enacted. Oh
the fifteen hundred bills that were
offered during this session Of tbs
assembly, only two hundred and
fifty became laws, and the majority
of those passed are for changing
county lines, court appointments
and the corporations of towns.

In is confidently asserted by the
State officials that an extra session
of the general assembly will be
called, notwithstanding Governor
BUCHANAN has expressed himself
otherwise. The redistricting bill
failed to pass the house in the ses-
sion just closed, and it is thought
that this will necessitate the call
ing of an extra session to redistrict
the State, basing the representation
on the census Of 1890.

Persons Who Sneeze.

The custom of giving thanks for sneezing
originated long before the Christian era,
says Harper's Bazaar. authority for the fol-
lowing:
In the Twelfth century lived Eustathius,
a man profoundly versed in ancient
classic lore" He too yielded to absolute
belief in this old time superstition.
In his most valuable legacy to the world
of letters, commentary on Homer's
''Iliad" and Odyssey" we find:
TeIemachus then sneezcd aloud;
Constrained, his nostrils echoed through the
crowd.
The smiling queen the happy omen blessed
So may these ilnpious fall, by fate opprest.
Odyssey, Book XVIII.
And Homer lived hundreds of years before
the Christian era!
1t is said that when the king of Mesopo-
tamia sneeZes, aCclamations are made i'll
all parts OF his dominion
In Siam long hfe" is wished to persons
who sneeze, and among Persians, if often
repeated, is regarded as most suspicious
event.
The year F;ae A. D. is usually reckoned
the era Of the custom of saying to one who
happened to sneeze, GOD bless you"
In a Seventeenth century work may be
found these lines:
II is an order when you snecZe,
Good men will pray for you;
Mark him that doth so, for thinks
He is your friend most true.

the United States to have a woman for
editor, the first to employ stenographer
to report the proceedings of congress, the
first TO have special riders to bring in the

copy of the Declaration of Independence.
In 1873 Mr. Charles L. Fulton became
the leading spirit in the management, and
made the paper what it was till his death,
in 1888, when his son-in-law, General Felix
ASnus became sole trustee and publisher.
He had already been the financial manager.
Under his management The American
now celebrates its one hundred and eight
eenth birthday with a magnificent trade
edition, illustrating the progress Of Balti-
more and the paper. General Agnus has
had a history which seems all romance in
the early part, and all practical business
sense and success in the latter halt as he
has fought in the wars of his native and
adopted country, and was brigadier gen.
eral AT twenty-six.
He was born July 4, 1880, at Lyons,
France, but was reared chiefly in Paris.
At The age of thirteen he went on his trav-
els visiting the most noted places south of
the equator ana clrcunnaVlsatlng the
globe. In 1859 he volunteered in the French
Zouaves and served in the Italian war. In
1860 he removed to the United States and
took n place in Tiffany's jewelry store in
New York, but on the first signal of war
volunteered in Duryee's Zouaves. He was
soon promoted to lieutenantcy for con-
spicuous galiantry, and fought his way up,
rank by rank, 10 the Ono Hundred and
Sixtyffth New York. or Second Duryee
Zouaves. He greatly distinguished himself
at Port Hudson and elsewhere in the south
west. In the campaign of 1864 in Virginia.
he won high honors, and near the close of
the war was breyelted as brigadier gen
eral. On Dec Is, 1864 he married Miss
Annie t., daughter of Mr.. Fulton. of the
Baltimore American, and has ever since
been identified with that paper.

lger is a man of fine ply

was noted for his skill In surgery and for
his power of healing. At the close of the
war he decided to devote himself to the
service of the church and became a priest.
He chose st. Anthony as his patron, and
many years ago established his Mount
Troy shrine. Among the treasures of the
church are some of the bones of st. An
thony, a piece OF the true cross, and several
other relics which are kept in silver urn
and are on certain days brought forth and
exhibited to the worshipers.
Not long after ne had established him
self on Mount Troy. Father Mollinger per-
formed several wonderful cures and his
fame went abroad through the surround
ing country. The sick and the crippled
sought his advice and his prescriptions
often healed when those of other physicians
had failed. After a time it began to be
noted that when st. Anthony's Day ap-
preached the healing powers of the priest
apparently became augmented and at that
time simple blessing often sufficed to eff
feet cure. Each year the number of
patients has increased and the throng this
year was larger than ever.
