Washington Letter.

Discussion Of the postal scandals
has been renewed by the publica-
ton of the report, in abridged form.
of Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow. Whether there will be
a congressional investigation of the
| Department; whethre the results
of the present investigation will
Iinjure the Republican party, and
whether Perry S, Heath, viii be
asked to resign his position as sec
retary of the republican national
committee, are the main questions
asked.
Senator Penrose Of Pennsylvania,
who is chairman of tbs senate COM
mittee on postoffice and post roads,
has introduced resolution author
izina his committee to reuuest the
Postmaster General to submit to
it all the papers of the present in
vestigation, and also to carry out
a futher Investigation itself, If nee
essary. Senator Carmack also has
demanded an investigation by a
Senate com nittee. The President
is said to be opposed TO an investi-
CATION by Congress, as it would
force the government to reveal
many facts which would aid those
who are under Indictment. The
Attorney General is of the same
opinion.
The report is supplemented by
/ memorandum of the President in
which he praises the thoroughness
of Mr.. Brlstaw's work, declares
: that everything will be done by the
= administration to punish all Who

at the Indian in amazement, but
made no show of resentment. Later
in the day, when we asked the Indian

To Cure a Wound.

Attention has once more been called
to the survival of folklore in rural
parts; this time by evidence given in
stabbing case tried at the Essex
Assizes. To quicken the healing of
the wounds the knife with which they
were inflicted was smeared with grease
and laid on the bed Of the patient.
The purpose served by the applica-
ton Of grease or oil to the knife-or
to any steel instrument that has In
hicted wounds-is to prevent it from
rusting. For IL the steel is allowed to
become rusty, the wound is affected,
and fostering and modification follow
the progress Of the rust. Another
quaint belief ia that the application
Of an oiled knife is a safe, certain and
quick remedy for scalds and burns
