SOME OF the northern republican
newspapers say the ''rebels are in the
saddle again" because some of the re-
cent federal appointees fought for
States rights thirty years ago. There
is no doubt of the fact that some of the
gentlemen referred 10 are pretty good
horsemen, but that they were ecc'' FEB
els is not believed by any reasonable
man at all familiar with the Constltu-
ton, aud that they are not now, goes
without saying. In view of the fact
that save only and except for the eX-
Confederates and their sons there would
be neither democratic President, nor
Senate, nor House of Representatives,
how a democratic administration could
avoid appointing q few of them to office
can not be easily explained.

Burned To- Death.

HAYWOOD. n. J., April 3.-A barn
belonging to Mr.. G.. 7. Jaeger, of May
wood, Bergen county, a mile west of
Hackensack, with his contents was
burned to the ground about 4 o'clock
this morning. The charred bodies Of
four unknown tramps were taken from
the ruins. 1t is thought the tlamps set
fire to the barn by smoking or care
lcssly dropping a lighted match.

KILLED HIMsELF.-On Saturday
morning James Chambers, of Lexing-
ton, who was brakeman on the Ches-
apeake and Ohio railroad, was found
dead near Hinton. w. Va. 1t appears
that he fell from a freight train and was
run over, losing leg and an arm. By
his side was found q note to his mother
in which he said Rather than be q
burden to you will end my life" His
throat was cut and the knife was found
in his hand.

CONGRESSMAN JERRY SIMPSON says
~ am not democrat. Nobody ac-
ouainted with him ever supposed he
was. But some people who profess to
be democrats are really no more demo-
cratic in their principles, and policies
and feelings, than he is, and if true
blue democrat had to choose either q
mugwump or Mr.. Simpson, he would
prefer the latter every time.

DROPPED HER DIAMoNDs.-The wife
of W. J. Knight, of Dubuque, Iowa,
lost four thousand dollars worth of
diamonds in Chicago yesterday while
walking on Michigan boulevard with
her husband. She was afraid to leave
the diamonds in her room, and wrap
ping them up, placed them in the
pocket of her cloak. When she return
ed to her room the diamonds were
gone. 1t is supposed that in pulling
her handkerchief from her pocket, she
pulled out the diamonds and dropped
them on the street. The police were
notified, but no trace of the jewels has
been discovered,

Now THAT the spring has fairly open
ed and General Green" has arrived,
all the talk about negro exodus from
the South, because of the imaginary i'll
treatment that race receives from the
white people of this section, has entire
" ceased. That the negroes are treat
ed better in the southern States than
anywhere else, is proved by the fact
that Notwithstanding the higher wages
the more industrious ones receive IN
the North, most of them still cling &c
their old homes in the South.

Declares the brotherhood Conspir-

TOLEDO, o., April 8.-Judge Kicks
read Judge Taft's decision in the Ann
Arbor injunction case in which chief
Arthur of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers is party. He decided
that the whole brotherhood was con-
spiracy against the law of the country,
aud that inasmuch as Arthur gave the
orders that precipitated the boycott, an
order for temporary injunction
against Arthur as prayed for was al
lowed
The court also held that as Engineer
Lennon refused to move the cars of the
company until ordered by the brother
hood after the boycott was raised, he
was guilty of contempt of court.

a NARROW EscAPE.-Mrs. James A. Bass,
of Lynchburg Va, narrowly escaped fright
full death at her home on Saturday night.
She was descending flight of winding steps
carrying a lighted lamp, when she slipped
and fell. The lamp exploded from the con-
cussion and threw the burning oil over her
clothing. Frantic with pain she ran to the
front door, which was fortunately locked.
preventing her egress into the open air, which
would have only famed the flames. Recoy-
ering her presence of mind, she ran into a
room and extinguished the flames by throw
ing herself on the bed and pulling the bed
clothing around her. She was badly burned
between the shoulders, on one arm and on
both hands, but it is thought she will recover.

IN FAVOR OF THE BRoKER.-The case
of Mr.. John Turner, tried in the Cor
poration Court Saturday afternoon on
the charge OF doing business as a mer-
chandise broker without license, was
decided in favor of Mr. Turner. which
means that the Norfolk merchandise
brokers will not be required to have IL
censes to sell goods for nonresident
manufacturers and packers. In the
case above decided the defendant does
not receive goods and bill them as
agent. but simply negotiates sales and
has nothing further to do with it.
There are other brokers who do re-
ceive some goods from non-residents
and bill them for said non-residents as
their agents. This point is yet to be
decided in case to come before the
court-Commonwealth VS.. c. E. Yer
dier-unless the Commonwealth At
torney should decide not to press the
matter. The brokers claim that they
have found Supreme Court decision
in their favor on this latter point, as
long as whole packages are not broken,
which they say is the way they handle
the goods in question.-Nortolk Ledger.

WHY ANY except cowardly murder
ers should object TO the ratification of
the Russian treaty because itprovides
for the extradition of those who may
attempt to blow up or poison the Car
of Russia, or any member of his family,
is what many people who have never
done or said any thing to forfeit their
reputation for good sense can tell.

YESTERDAY was typical Easter.
The sun was bright and warm, the sky
WAS blue. the spring flowers were
blooming, the trees were budding, the
gr.ss was green, and the birds were
singing. The churches, too, were
full. and the spirit with which the
dav was celebrated in them proves that
the hope upon which christendom relies
for its future welfare is as strong now

THE q. S. DENTAL ASSOCIATION, so we'll
known in this vicinity, from the excellent
reputation of their Washington experts, have
recently opened in Baltimore the largest and
best equipped dental establishment in that
city. Their establishment occupies the en-
tire third floor of the large building corner of
Baltimore and Charles streets. OF course the
work Turned out will be OF that high charac-
ter which causes so many AlexandrianS to
patronize their Washington office. The mag
nificent rooms at No. 4o1 Seventh street, n.
w. are most accessible for Alexandrians, as
the cable cars run directly from the ferry to
their doors.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
There Was Little Life in the Wheat Trade
Yesterday.
Thai CEREAL ADVANCED, HOWEVER
Selling Orders from New York Were Light
and the Expected Cold Wave
Failed to MateriaIize-stocks
and Bonds

CHICAGO. Dec. 16.-There was little life
in the trade in wheat today. but with large
export clearances aud expectations of a
decrease in the visible supply, closing prices
were a little higher. Compared with the
closing yesterday wheat is about &c higher;
corn aud oats unchanged and provisions a
trife lower.
The opening prices in wheat were IN.
changed with May al 672sc. The dropping
tendency Of yesterdays market was con-
tinued for a time and prices declined. There
was a rally, however. when it = was
shown that the export clearauces for
the week in wheat and -four from
both coasts we're 3,2lT 900 bu., compared
with :, 55s, 900 bu. last week. May advanced
TO 61iac, but the advance was soon lost.
Selling orders from New York were light,
and the cold wave, which was expected TO
hurl itself upon the exposed wheat fields,
failed to materlalize. Early trading was
light and the enthusiasm of the bears evap-
grated. May crawled down to 6SS.c. but
there it ruled steady for 4 time and al
vanced slightly on light northwestern
receipts. TIL news became more
bullish and the market ruled
firm for the remainder of the session. News
came from Minneapolis that the mills which
were shut Town there would all resume next
week. san Francisco wired That buying of
wheat there for French account had alb
sorbed about 2.OOO,OOO bu. in the last few
days, that the price advanced there yester-
day and that buying still continued on a
heavy scale. An advance in wheat and flour
at Paris helped to confirm the San Francisco
news and the market closed firm with May
at the top figures of the day. May opened
at 6Ia-c, sold of &C. then sc and advanced
&c to the close at 6I5sc.
The corn market was featureless, with
fluctuations confined TO &c range. May
opened &c of at $3.50, and sold up TO 395sc,
where it closed. Bartlett, Frazier and y. B.
Ream sold early in the day, and what little
buying there was had puts for its basis.
Dizziness continued TO be the feature in the
oats market. Offerings were light and
buyers scarce. May opened unchanged al

The development Of the soap mauufactur-
ing industry in this city has created 4 large
demand for cocolnut oil. Omaha manufac-
turers buy the oil from New York brokers,
who have II shipped from the South Sea
Islands. It comes from pipes made of teak
wood that weigh about 2,SW pounds each,
filed. Some idea OF the value Of the oil may
be gained from the fact that a carload costs
over 2.OCO. and ii requires a good many cars
each year TO supply the Omaha factories. a
san Francisco comDany has recently com
menced the manufacture Of the oil. and on
Friday the first car Of American made oil 20
