WASHINGTON, June 28.-Acklen reached
here this morning, and has been en-
gagged all day with his friends and the
friends of the lady involved in tho recent
scandal in preparing statement to be pub
iished in the Post tomorrow and teiegraDhed
to the press associations North and South.
This will probably conclude the whole matter
as the statement is so explicit and ex-
haustive and so thoroughly attested
by all parties concerned or In any way
cognizant of the affair as to leave
no room for further doubt or dispute, though
tide OF public sentiment In the North, which
was ut first wildly prejudicial to Acklen, has
entirely turned and Is reacting against the
authors Of the calumny. Acklen will return
home Immediately. It Is not necessary to
send the text of the statement, as the press
dispatches will cover the material points.

A BUFFALO SOCIETY SCANDAL TIE


COLLECTOR OF THE PORT CHARGED


WITH SEDUCING YOUNG LADY


PROBABILITY THAT HE WILL BE RE-


MOVED FROM OFFICE.


For a week or to past certain circles of
Buffalo society have been good deal ag-
itated over a scandal in high life which
has been brought to the attention of the
authorities at Washington, and is likely
to result in change in the office of Col
lector of Customs. The following are the
facts: A young daughter of an old resi-
dent and well known business man of
Buffalo, was lately discovered to bein an
abnormal condition for an unmarriedlady,
and, on being called to account BY her pa
rents, charged John Tyler, the Collector
of Buffalo, with being the author of her
ruin. Mr.. Tyler is married man, some
what famous for his gallantry, and was
retired officer of the regular Army on
half pay when he was appointed Collec-
tor under Gen. Grants administration.
He lost an arm in the war of the rebellion,
and has been a satisfactory and rather
popular Collector. When confronted
with the charge he put in general de-
NAL to his friends and miscellaneous in
quirers, but is said to have owned up to
he strong pressure of the girls father; and
admitted the truth of the accusation.
However that may De the facts were
communicated TO President Hayes BY
some friend of the family, said to be S.
S. Guthrie, an old acquaintance of the
President, formerly of Ohio, but now a
resident of Buffalo, and an agent of the
Treasury Department was forthwith sent
to investigate them. He is reported to
have convinced himself of their truth,
aud to have informed Mr.. Tyler of the ne
cessity of his simmediately "rising to eX-
plain" Tyler asked tor time till to-day
to make his explanation or denial, and
the story of both sides will then be repor-
ted to Washington.


The girls statement is generally cred
ted, and it is believed that Mr.. Tyler will
soon he removed and new Collector ap-
pointed in his place. This has enlisted
the interest OF politicians in the scandal,
and speculation is now rife as to who
will be Tyler's successor. Some of the
friends of Tyler sneer at the idea of his
removal on such charge, and say that if
President Hayes undertakes to remove
all the Government employees whose
morals do not come up 10 the Sunday
school standard, he will require an addi-
tional clerical force to make out commits
sions for the new appointees. There are
said to be, however, some aggravating
circumstances connected with the charge
against the Buffalo Collector. The girl
is motherless, and has been considered
rather w0ak-minded. She is now at re-
treat near New York.

10 attempts to clean the ear it's delicat,

ful experiment goes to show that the pas
sage does not require cleaning at all. The
Popular Science Monthly says:


mature undertakes that task, and in the
healthy state fulfils it perfectly. HeI
means for cleaning the ear is the wax.
Perhaps the reader has never wondered


what becomes of the ear wax. l will tell
him. 1t dries up into thin fine scales, and
these peel off, one by one, from the sur
face of the passage, and fall out impercep-
tibly, leaving behind them a perfectly
clean, smooth surface. In health the pas .
sage of the ear is never dirty but, if we
attempt to clean it, we infalIibly make it

it would seem, which, however, has no
doubt deep justice at the bottom-the
best people, those who love cleanliness,
suffer most, and good and careful nurses
do a mischief negligent ones avoid.
Washing the ear out with soap and water
is bad it keeps the wax moist when it
ought to become dry and scaly, in
creases it's quantity unduly, and makes it
absorb the duet with which the air always
abounds. But the most hurtful thing is
introducing the corner of the towel,
screwed up and twisting it around. This
does more harm to the ears than all the
other mistakes together. It drives down
the wax upon the membrane much more





doubts this make tube like the passage,
especially with the curves which it pos
sesses; let him put a thin membrane at
one end, smear the surface with sub
stance like the ear wax, and then try to
get it out 80 by q towel. But this plan
does much more mischief than merely
pressing down the wax. 1t irritatee the
passage, and makes it cast off small fakes
of skin, which dry up and become extreme
ly hard, and these are also hardly pressed
down upon the membrane. Often 1t is not
only deafness that ensues, but pain and
inflammation, and then matter is formed
which the hard mass prevents from escap-
ing, and the membrane becomes diseased,
and worse may follow.


Washing should extend only to the outer
surface, as far as the finger can reach. At
is bad practice, also, to put cotton wool
soaked in laudanum or chloroform into
the ear for the relief of earache. When a
