A Scarcity In Sugar.

The rigid quarantine regulations in New
York and Brooklyn on sill the beet sugar prod
uct, which is principally shipped from Ham
burg, has made noticeable scarcity in all re-
fined sugars Each cargo is held in quarantine
about four weeks and then released and this
gives peculiar unsteadiness to the output
and shipments of the refined articles frsm the
refneries
prominent jobber said recently: THE re-
fined sugars are not quoted en- the list, as the re-
fineries do not propose to bind themselves to
any fixed price for the present, although the
price is nominally the same. The quarantine
is doing ali the trouble and as fast as cargo ID
released of the beet product from Hamburg an
additional amount of the refined sugar IS placed
upon the market, and although this makes the
supply short aud unsteady, to the credit OF the
refners, be it said, they have taken no undue
advantage of the jobbsrs and used this emory
ency to raise the price.
"There is some talk in New York of forbid
ding the shipment of any beet-sugar from Ham
burg until farther notice. If this order should
60 into effect and be maintained for any length
of time it would make refined sugar 30 scarce
and the supply so limited that the price would
very likely be raised considerably.
There is larger supply required during
the canning season, which only increases the
trouble. As it is now Ne jobber can get the

New septuagint Texts.

At the International Orientalst Congress in
London a most interesting document was SUBJ
mitted by the Rev. Prof. Hechler, Chaplain of
the British Embassy at Vienna, distinguished
Orientalist. The document referred to is a
papyrus manuscript discovered few months
ago in Egypt and is supposed by some suthori-
ties to be the oldest copy extant of portions Of
the Old Testament books of Zachariah and
Malachi.
These pages of papyrus when intact were
about 10 inches high and seven inches wide
each containing 20 lines of writing, both sides
of the sheet being used. The complete line
contains from IA to II letters. The sheets are
bound together in the form of a book in print
tive though careful manner, with cord and
strips of old parchment.
The Greek of this document is written with
out intervals between the words, custom OBJ
served both in old Greek and old Hebrew
manuscripts. The papyrus is in fair preserya-
ton and is believed to date from the third or
fourth century 1t thus ranks in age with the
Oldest Greek manuscripts of the Septuagint
version of the Old Testament in London, Rome
and ST. Petersburg.
The difference in this papyrus tend to the
conclusion that il was copied from some excel
lent original of the Septuagint Bible, which
was first translated about the year $50 b. Z. for
the use of tbs Hellenistic Jews in Egypt who,
having gradually forgotten the Hebrew tongue,
had learned to speak Greek.

THE LADIES' RECEPTION.
A Brilliant Gathering at the Congregational
Church.

Those having in charge the arrangements for
the reception by the Ladies Citizens Commit.
tee al the Congregational Church on Friday
evening have just cause to be proud of the sue
cessful elimination of that event, which was
the crowning feature of their efforts during the
week to entertain the numberiess visitors to
the Capital City. The church was handsomely
decorated with flowers and National colors and
at the time of the commencement Of the exer-
cises was completely filled, no larger audience
having ever been in the church before. On the
platform were Miss Clara Barton, Mrs. Logan,
Mrs Kate B. Sherwood, Mrs. NJ. o. Cartilage
Secretary John w. Foster, Congressman Bou-
telle, and DIR. Corey. During the latter part Of
the evening Capt. Jack Crawford arrived and
was called to the platform. Miss Barton made
short address of welcome, and prayer was de-
livered by DR. Corey, after which speeches were
made by Mrs. Sherwood, Secretary Foster
Congressman Boutelle, and Mrs. Cartilage
Mrs Elizabeth Mansfield Irving, President of
Forsyth Corps w. r. c.. Toledo, o., recited in
a most dramatic style Mrs. Kate b. Sherwood's
poem, WAR Memories" She was loudly ap-
plauded and responded by an encore of equal
merit aud finish. Miss McManis entertained
the audience with whistling solos; the Choral
Society sang patriotic airs; Mr.. Tweedale read
poem, March On" and Capt. Jack Crawford
eloquently recited Pony Bits Sermon to the
Cowboys" and an original poem, "Sunbeams."
After the exercises Miss Barton and Mrs. Logan
held an impromptu reception on the platform.
A large basket of roses on the reading desk was
sent by President Harrison, who regretted his
inability to be present as was intended.

DEPARTMENT OF POTOMAC.
Reception of the W.R.C. at the Cochran

The ladies of the Department of the Potomac,
Mrs. Ida V. Hendricks President, held a recep.
ton at their spacious quarters, the Cochranc
OH / street. The drawing rooms on the second
floor were tasteiully ornamented with bunting
and cut flowers, and from to II o'clock the
rooms presented y moving picture of color and
lights. The handsome toilets of the ladies and
brass buttons of the comrades present mingled
pleasantly in theEcene. Mr.. G. Hendricks was
the host of the occasion. assisted by between 80
and 40 of the Corps all in full evening dress.
Owing to the large number of members, 1t was
difficult to select an organized receiving party,
so upon calling meeting it was decided to
omit the usual formaity of a reception COM
mittee. The occasion was thus thoroughly
informal. The success of the entertainment
was largely due to the efforts of Mrs. Neal,
Counselor. Among those who attended we're
the National President and staff, members Of
the GAR. and W.RC.. with large scatter
ing of strangers from the ranks OF the visiting
organizations. Across the front Of the house
in illuminated blue lettering was the greeting

Around the Campflres.

At Judiciary Square the comrades in large
numbers gathered around the Campfire. The
committee evidently knew just what the COM
rades wanted in theway of such entertainment.
A spacious stand had been erected in the mid
die of the broad sward in tho square, and this
was tas.efuly dressed, and decorated with i'm
mense flags % feet in length. Long rows of
benches were arranged in amphitheater form
in front of the stand and about tall frame
work which held circle of 100 gas Jets in
place to light up the grounds and serve as the
immediate representative Of the Campfire.
When the rain had made the grounds too wet
for open-air exercises arrangements were made
to have the Campfres held in Odd Fellows
Hall. and there the meetings werc conducted
with pnabated enthusiasm. Different nights
saw different organizations as hosts or guests
The Iowa com AIDES to the number of 5000
listened to speeches and recitations and songs
OH one of tho evenings. Many of the COM
rades' fayCrite speakers were present at each Of
the assemblies and each session was source of
much interest to the veterans, who applauded
aud yelled themselves hoarse At appropriate
periods in the proceedings.

PropnIsion ND steep Grades.


A new method of propulsion has been en-
ployed in a recent invention for enabling q
locomotive and train of cars to ascend steep
gradients The device consists of grooved
drum, keyed on the driving wheel axle the
groove being sufficiently wide to allow sta
tionary cable to be coiled once around it. The
drum is of the same circumference as the driv-
ing wheels, so that with each revolution of the
driving wheels the drum travels full revoln-
ton over the cable. This cable lies in the
center of the track and is secured at either end
and kept in its position round curves by
guides The assistance given by the turn of
the cable around the drum, aud the slight
strain exercised at each end of the cable, are
found sufficient to give the driving wheels the
necessary grip or bite on the rails to enable
them to gain the full length of their oircum-
ference at each revolution. It is claimed that
by this system the wear and tear of the cable
are reduced to a minimum, as except when
passing around the drum, the cable remains

Gen. Kearny's Reply.

"On June /, 1862" said J. r. Hayes Medical
Director, Department of the Potomac. Gen.
Joe Johnston, in command of the rebel Forces
had been wounded and his army defeated and
scattered, and few days afterward we learned
from contrabands thata complete panic existed
in Richmond. The Army of the Potomac in
front of Richmond numbered at this time
125 600 effective men, and not much in the way
of defense in front of US. Why an advance
was not made even then was the subject of
much discussion among the general officers.
lone day, about 10 days after the battle Of
Fair Oaks, Gen. Philip Kesrny rode up to our
hospital and dismounted to get drink of we'll
water. asked him why our army did not add
vance when apparently there was nothing in
front of us. Hesitating moment he replied,
Well, doctor. it is either treachery or cow
ardce; don't know which. We lay in front
of Richmond nearly month, when Gen. Robert
E. Lee, who had been assigned to the command
Of the rebel forces, collected an army in front
of us equal to our own and the historic seven
days battle was fought and we were driven in
retreat to our new base ON the James River.
Which view of Gen. Kearnys was correct !

Where the Conspirators Were Hung.

Many veterans visited the Arsenal Grounds,
eager to see tho places whore the Lincoln con-
spirators were executed and buried. Tho body
of Booth was first buried in what was the
store room Of the old Penitentiary building
and the spot as near as can be located. is few
feet east of the residence of the commanding
officer.
The scafIold on which Mrs. Surratt, Herold,
Atzeroat, and Payne were hung was located
about 80 feet south of the dwelling formed of
the east end of the building, and they were
buried about 10 feet further south, and the
body of Wirz was afterward buried with them.
Some time after the execution the bodies were
all removed to one Of the old storehouses now
used us barrack building and in the early
part of 1869 they were delivered to friends,
Booths body being taken to Baltimore, Mrs.
Snrratt's to Mt. Olivot, Herold's to the Con-
gressional Cemetery, Paynes and Atzerodts to

The Street Illumination.

Tho illumination of Pennsylvania avenue
each evening was enjoyed by the thousands
who passed along the broad surface of that
great thorcughfare. The entire aim of the
scheme adopted by the committee was to have
the designs appropriate to the occasion. At
intervals along the avenue the badge corps of
the armies flashed out with all the bril-
liancy of electric lights, while at the head of
the avenue the outlines of the badge of the
Grand Army were displayed by the same
medium. Another, of even greater brilliancy,
was en- huge building at the corner of Seventh
street. Above the corps badges in many in
stances appeared the names of wsll-known
battles One of the designs that attracted a
good deal Of attention was that of large
anchor. At Seventeenth street aud the avenue
there was an elaborate design of a shield. which
was displayed with fine effect, and could be
seen for long distance.

The Cavalry of the West.

The following remarks were made by COL A.
g. Bracket, 9th III. Cav, at the meeting of
the Western Cavalry at the Sherman Tent
Washington, Sept 22, 1892:
COMRADES: We are assembled on this occasion
to do honor to the cavalrymen of the West, who on
many fields showed their vnlor, and who helped 10
clear the way for great Union victories. The field
was grand one. and through Missouri. Arkansas,
Kentucky. Tennessee and Mississippi they swept
with resstIess force under such leaders as Wilson,
Grierson, Minty, and Hatch. They were found
equal to every occasion and bore flag in
triumph over the fowery lands Of the West The
nightly watch was familiar TO them, and their
Campfires lighted up tic green wood and flowing
river They helped 10 redeem an extensive portion
of the Republic. and were, in fact. the eyes Of tho
advancing hosts under Grant and Sherman. lead
ing them 10 victory. Through trials and
dangers thcy were always in front and on the
TANKS, and many aniambuseade and hidden terror
WAS discovered by them. From his experience
gained in the Western armies. Grant learned how
to mass his cavalry for the most effective work.
hope your proceedings this day may be all that you
could desire.
