NEW HAVEN EDITOR.
A Prominent Army Officer Does Him Justice-The ,76 Campaign.
 From the Palladium I

From the Palladium
 The following letter from Captain Charles King is of interest to New Haveners who have followed the newspaper controversy relative to the NewYork Hernlds accounts of the Crook campaign of 1876 and the part played therein by MT. Davenport:
 MILWAUKEE, Jan. 30, 1891. To Reuben D. Davenport, New Haven,
 Conn.,:
 The controversy resulting from the pub ication of my work on the Sioux campaign of 1876 has brought to my attention facts unknown to me at the time that work was written. Though what I said of you in that work was said in good faith and upon what then believed to be sufficient evi- dence, am now satisfied that I did you great injustice. It is only by accident that I have this week come upon evidence in your favor which totally alters every opin- ion had hitherto formed of your conduct at the affair of Slim Buttes and elsewhere. 1 wrote to you in October last saying that if found my authorities unable to sub stantiate all they once alleged would tend you every amende in my power, and this now hasten to do.
 It was on the authority of many officers and soldiers, that in writing some three years after the campaign, I referred to a certain correspondent, MT. D. ,as ''desper- ate coward" and as witnessing Mills morn ing attack upon the Indian village in a state of "sbject terror" I wrote without the faintest malice, but with implicit faith in the truth of every word For fourteen years I believed it unreservedly, and might have gone on believing it to my dying day but for the republication of the sketches last fall and the resultant controversy now desire publicly to retract that ale gation, to retract it utterly both in letter and in spirit. I desire to say that now believe that exhaustion and illness pre-.

MARRIAGE NOT BUSINESS.

According to the law of New York the business of procuring mates for those who want to get married is illegal. A widow anxious for husband invoked the aid of a matrimonial bureau in New York city She paid the usual fee of five dollars and was introduced to thirty or forty gentle men, none of whom suited her. She then advanced fifty dollars on a written agree ment that an acceptable husband would be found for her in two months. That time passed without the widow meeting the ''congenial companion" she longed for. She then demanded the return of her money and was met with a refusal, where upon she sued the concern. The lower courts decided against her, but the Court of Appeals says that ito decide that the money could not be recovered back would be to establish the rules by which the de- fendant and others of the same ilk could ply their trade and secure themselves in the fruits of their illegal transactions" :" The court then holds that it was for jury to say whether, under the circumstances of the case, the widow was or was not as culpable as a matrimonial agent, and hence whether she was or was not entitled to have her money refunded.
 This is treating such agreements about as the law treats gambling contracts. Mar riape is a lottery

MANS INHUMANITY.

The convict labor question has come up in Massachusetts in rather striking way. There is all industrial school at the Con cord State prison, where convicts are taught trades with the hope that they will become useful members of society. But the carpenters district council of Boston isn't at all sentimental and so it has re- solved that the said school should be dis continued for the reason that it directly tends to degrade the dignity of honest labor and honest workmen by scattering through out the State class of irresponsible per stitution maintained at Concord to associ- ate upon an equality with honest and re- spectacle mechanics" and, further, for the reason that the object of the reformatory is to punish crime and not to educate crim- inals, and because the school ''offers pre- mium for the commission of crimes by af- fording shelter, food, clothing and educa- tion to those of the criminal classes con- fined at the reformatory."
 This is very sensible performance. The Springfield Republican very properly says of it. Would they not only prevent men from learning their trade and keep those from working at it who are not members of their organization, but also follow the criminals unemployed into and out of prison and see that they forever remain outcasts of society," There is no trade o1 calling or profession known to men toe sacred for the use of the discharged convict in climbing up to useful place in society, and in taking the strange position they dc the members of the carpenters district council align themselves with those cal lous- hearted forces of society whose worE is so well portrayed by Victor Hugo 1T ''Les Miserables"

RECENT PURLICATIONS,

A novel and magnificent publication has been begun by the Harris Publishing com pany of New York. Its title is ''The Fishes of North America that are Caught on Hook and Line" The design is to furnish a popular text book and kindergarten study for the angler. To aid in this ob- ject the fish are shown in an upright position, that of the act of swimming, and extreme care has been taken not only to give the coloration as in life, but also with distinctness the specific markings, in cluding the exact number of spines or rays in the fin construction. The text will consist of full biological notes on all the fishes that are the objects of pursuit by the angler in American waters, their habits, habitats, and modes of capture will be described and illustrated. Eighty or more portraits of fish, colored as in life, will be given. These portraits are first painted in oil and then Autographed on stone in colors. These portraits will form a fine art collection. The great work will be issued in forty monthly parts. The first one is out, and will delight all who see it. Those who can afford to take the work cannot fail to be abundantly satisfied with it if the prom ise of the first part is fulfilled. as it un- doubtedly will be.

DAY WITH THE SULTAN.
The Work and Recreation Of Abdul
 Hamfd ofTurkey.

From the Pal Mall Gazette.l
 Abdul Hamid gets up early. His toilet does not detain him long; indeed it might detain him longer according to European codes. Dressed, he at once devoted him self to recite the prescribed prayers, after which he drinks cup of black coffee and instantly afterwards begins to smake ci- garettes, psstime that he continues all day almost without intermission, for he is an ardent smoker Breakfast ended, he arranges family affairs. when these require his attention, is almost always the case with so large family and of such varied ages and needs.
 This done, he quits the harem and goes into the selamlik. Here he receives the re- ports concerning court affairs. Toward 10 o'clock his court secretary and chief digni- taries appear bearing the days despatches and reports These handed in, the sultan seats himself on sofa, with, on the right, these documents, and on his left pile of Turkish newspapers and extracts from the European press translated into Turkish for his benefit by translation bureau special ly appointed to that end. His lunch, which follows the dispatch of this business is most simple-little meat, fair amount of vegetables. The meal ended, he will take a walk in the park or row in little boat upon the lake it incloses, always accompa- nied by chamberlain or some high digni tary.
 After taking two hours exercise in the air he returns to his sitting rooms where he holds an open reception or presides over some committee meeting An hour or two before sunset he once more goes out for a walk. His favorite food is pilaf, sweets, and a very little meat. He never touches spirituous liquors, in due obedience to the commands of the prophet, but he drinks large quantities of sherbert and eats great deal of ice cream. Dinner over, he receives company in the selamlik, or he will retire into the harem, where his daughters play and sing to him. He himself on these occasions will often seat himself nj the piano, an instrument he plays fairly well. For painting, for fine arts in general, he has no taste. His women, too. find him very cold, but he is devoted to his children, and also much attached to all the members of his family.

TAmING WILD BIRDS.
Feathered Creatures are as Susceptible To Kindness Human Beings.
 

lEEpHA -NAAulG
 When young I raised many wild birds, and as the time is coming for their mating and busy season for building and rearing their young it may give some young folks pleasure to explain the method by which l was perfectly successful.
 I watched the nest of such as I desired to get until the young birds were old enough to feed and not old enough to fly or get scared. then loosed the nest carefully, placed it in tight cage near the bars, with n ledge outside from which it might be convenient for the parent bird to feed them. The cage should be hung in some convenient place near where the nest had been located, on tree or bush, out of the reach of cats.
 At first the old birds are shy, and mani fest their disapprobation by rapid darting around and scolding in loud voices, yet never found them to desert their offspring, but feeding them regularly I would then begin to feed them, too, with a little sweet biscuit, berries, seeds and worms or some green stuff. The old birds attended them for time, finally leaving them to my care. There is current idea afioat that after they find their young prisoners the old birds poison them. It is not so, as 1 have tested it thoroughly. After removing the cage to the house, the old birds having ceased their care, I fed them iu the usual way, paying the same attention to cleanli- ness and carefully giving them fresh water for frequent bathing.
 once raised n pet yellow bird. lively little feathered creature, about the size of q canary and almost similar in color. The plumage of the male was of bright yellow color; wings, tail and crown black. The plumage of the female was more of brown ish yellow. They build their nests in bush es of lchens cemented and interwoyen to- gether, and lined inside with some soft | substance. They are very thick around the | house, they generally are where mustard seeds are plenty.

One har- vest day mother came out to the field and | excitedly told ne that my pet bird had es- | capped from the cage, which had set in the | window of an upper room l came to the | house feeling sad, as n child would, and found my bird perched in the tupmost branch of a high pear tree. gleefully enjoy | ing its freedom Procuring a biscuit from the house 1 called tu it, and received its 1 chirping answer as it turned its head and recognized its once master.

water and remain in warm room. 2. Bathe the face in very hot water every five minutes for an hour 8. Snuff up the nostrils hot salt water every three hours. 4. Inhale ammonia or menthol. 5. Take four hours active exercise in the air. A ten-grain dose of quinine will usually break up cold in the beginning Anything that will set the blood in active circulation will do it, whether it be drugs or the use of a bucksaw.
 The ocean postofices which will be es- tablished on the steamers plying between this country and Germany by the begin ming of next month will be useful The plan is to have on each of these steamers postal clerk, whose duty it is to thorough ly sort the mails for this country or Ger many, as the case may be, so that on the arrival of the steamer at New York, say, the letters will be ready for immediate de- livery to carriers, and through them to the persons addressed, if in New York city; while matter for other points will be placed in separate pouches and be taken at once to the trains. The time thus saved will probably be from three to six hours.
 Everyone may not know that the Bank of England notes are made from new white linen cuttings-neverf from anything that has been worn. So carefully is the paper prepared that even the number of dips into the pulp made by each workman is registered on dial by machinery, and the sheets are counted and booked to each per son through whose hands they pass. They are made at Laverstroke, on the river Whit, in Hampshire, by family named Portal, descendants from French Hugue- not refugee, and have been made by the same family for more than 15O years. They are printed within the building, there being an elaborate arrangement for mak- ing them so that each note of the same de- nomination shall differ in some particular from the other.
