A Newport correspondence of the New
York Commercial AdveriSer relates the
following as one of the mistakes Incl
dent to hotel life-when parties are in
a hurry and the gas turned Off:


| heard such an excellent story, and
knowing it to be fct, | must relate it.
A gentleman and wife on travelling
tour stopped at hotel. The gentle
man was an invalid, jaunting for his
health, and was subject to severe at
tacks of spasms in his chest, which
nothing would relieve but blister, but
in the absence of that, q good hot mus
tard plaster. They reached the strange
hotel late in the day, and during that
night Mr.. - was taken very i'll. His
wife was unable to find any remedies at
hand among her traps, but remember
ing to have seen the castor containing
mustard on the sideboard of the dining
hall, and being reluctant to arouse the
servants, she flew down with a light and
made plaster as quickly as possible.
Now the room she occupied was at the
head of the stairs, on the right hand
coming up, but there was one precisely
similar to it on the left side. Just as
she reached the head of the staircase
her light went out, but wishing to bring
relief to the sufferer as quickly as pos
sible, she went into her room on the
right, as she supposed, and flying up to
the occupant Of the bed-her husband,
of course-clapped the plaster on his
chest. Just as it touched the individ-
ual in question, what was her fright and
horror at being assailed with a strong
expletive, and at discovering that she
had turned to the left instead of the
right, and entered the wrong apart
ment. The hurry with which she en-
tered was not quite equal to that with
which she retreated, and on finding hei
own man and telling him the story, he
laughed so outrageously as to get cured
without any plaster at all. So morti
fed was the lady, however, that she in
sisted on leaving the hotel the next
morning at an hour sufficiently early tc
avoid meeting the victim of her mis-
take.

Late files of Brazilian journals contain
the following facts concerning the recent
legislative action in Brazil on the subject
of emancipation One of the bills which
met with the greatest opposition appro-
priated $S,00000O to be used to free
about million and half of slaves.
The ground of opposition was the fact
that this sum of money was too small,
one of the Senators saying that by this
bill only 10000 slaves per annum could
be freed. The bill! as finally passed ap-
proprlates n much larger sum, while pay
for each slave is put at very low fig
ure. By the plan emancipation will be
gradual, only children born after the
passage of the act on the 9th of last
month, to be at once liberated. 1t is
thought that the whole number of slaves
in the empire will not exceed one mil
lion and a half. A majority of these
are IN the southern part of the country
The sugar interest will not suffer from
the change. 1t is doubtful about the
results in the coffee regions, where the
slaves are more numerous. AS the En-
peror favors emancipation, the passage
of the bill by the legislative branch of
the government practically delivers Bra
zil from the evils of slavery.

M. THEIRS has made statement
which affords a reasonable ground for
hope that the Alsace customs question
may be pcaceably settled. By the
present agreement, Germany, in return
for the payment of the third install
ment of the war indemnity month in
advance. is to begin the evacuation of
French territory within fortnight after
the ratification of the treaty. AS the
National Assembly is not to meet before
December, the evacuation will not take
place a long time before the third in
stallment of the indemnity becomes
due. Besides, Germany practically re-
tains the power of postponing the evacu-
alton for an indefinite period to ratify
the treaty. As to the question out of
which these complications arose, Ger
many has conceded the point of reci-
procity as regards French Goods enter
ing Alsace.

The friends of Colonel Charles Case, Re-
ceiver of the First National Bank, will re-
gret to learn that he is suffering from a
serious loss of sight. So complete is the
impairment that he is unable to read ordin-
ary print and, what is almost as disagreea-
bic to him, he often fails to recognize his
friends as he meets or passes them on the
street.


A peculiarity Of his case seems to be that,
while his general health is excellent, the
most critical observation fails to reveal any
apparant disease of the eyes. The colonel
thinks his sight is slightly improved under
scientific treatment here, but he expects to
leave for the North in few days, and
hopes for further improvement from a
change of climate and rest from business.

At thinly attended meeting of the Mas

merits of several candidates for Governor

had talked with General Butler, who would
put himself firmly ON the prohibitory plat

election, if Boston would cast her vote
against him, he would make the city as hot
for rum sellers as he made New Orleans for
rebels. There was a disposition to indorse
the General on the spot but the Alliance
finally decided to await his written pledge.

The Bordeaux government, having seen fit to
set itself up as the judge of the qualifications of
candidates fer the National Assembly, has re-
ceived very forcible hint in the shape of the
protests from the opposition press that such
dictation would not go down with the people


In this act of the Bordeaux government there
is shown the very worst tendencies of the
radicals The proceeding is entirely non-
republican. and possesses many Of the worst
traits of Imperialism. In period such as
France is now passing through the widest
scope should be given to the people in order
that they might have an opportunity Of fully
expressing their views and casting their votes
as they deem best. 1t is the French people,
not the politicians, who are to decide whether
France is to remain a republic or return to
Imperialism or whether continuance of the
war is preferable to the securing of peace.
Gambetta and Company believe that they are
the nation and have power to regulate things
their own way but for the sake of France we
hope the result of the approaching elections
will teach them to think otherwise.

Congress Yosterday-Thc Veterans Of 1919


Aid for France-The Naval Bill.


The Senate passed yesterday, after dis
cussion which occupied most Of the day, bill
granting pensions to all the surviving soldiers
OF the war Of 1912 who served three months,
and to such widows of soldiers as were married
at the time of that war. 1t had been proposed
TO extend the benefits Of the bill to widows,
whether married at the time or subsequently,
but Mr. Sherman estimated the number Of such
widows at fifty thousand and the sum neces-
sary to pay them at five millions a year. 1t
was, therefore, restricted to the COM
paratively small number surviving of
those who were married sixty years
ago. We do not think that this bill will
cause a very heavy draft on the Treasury, and
we think there are few who will not approve
of the national tribute to the veterans of the
second war of Independence. This is the same
measure that passed the House last session,
but amendments have been attached to it. 1t
will have to go back to the House for concur
renee.


In the House yesterday the Senate resolu-
ton for aid to the sufferers by the war in
Europe was taken up aud concurred in. The
Naval Appropriation bill was under considera-
ton in Committee of the Whole, and was not
concluded when the committee rose. Both
houses will be in session to-day.

It has been proposed, and very properly,
that, to transport the provisions intended for
suffering France, one or more vessels Of the
navy should be placed by the government at
the service OF the committee having the charity
In charge. So far 80 good and now we have
another suggestion to make in connection
Herewith, which is as follows There are q
vast number of sick and wounded among the
French, and while we propose to do some
thing for the hungry let us remember the
Others also and send few additional surgeons
and physicians to minister to their wants. 1t
can best be done in this manner Let every
ship detailed for the duty of carrying supplies
be oficered entirely by surgeons, q surgeon
ranking with captain to be placed in CON-
mand; passed assistant and assistant sur
geons to act as watch officers, and the sur
geons' stewards and apothecaries will answer
for the forward aud petty officers. Here Is a
first rate chance for these gentlemen. If they
claim the right to command let US give them
the opportunity to prove their ability. They
must not be interfered with; everything must
be given up to them for the cruise. The ship
must be truly in the doctors hands this time,
leaving the paymasters and engineers to have
their chance hereafter. 1t will be happy
family there will be no trouble about rank,
no row as to who shall 60 over the gangway
first, no little unpleasantncss about the num-
Der of side boys, no ill-feelng about asking
permission to 60 on shore. No; everything
will move smoothly, excepting, probably, the
ship itself. This may give some trouble,
but nothing worth speaking of. Now is the
right time and here is the opportunity to set
tie this question Of rank and command without
the aid Of Congress. Give them, Mr.. Secre-
tary Of the Navy, the chance to show what
they can do, and then let the country see-if
the provisions don't spoil before they reach the
haven-where they would be.

OUR New PosT OFFICE. E.-Congress has
voted the sum of FIVE hundred thousand
dollars for the continuation of the new
Post Office. Superintendent Hulburd is re-
ported as saying that if the required amount
of money had been promptly appropriated the
building could have been completed within two
years from this time, and at cost of four
million dollars but that now about five years
and probably five million doll ars will be re-
quired. We do not understand this sort Of
architectural reasoning. Taking the building
just as it is we cannot comprehend why Eve
years, or four or three should be required to
complete it. 1t ought to be done inside of two
years, and if the Superintendent will only
hurry we dare say that our city delegation in
the House Of Representatives will see to it
that Congress hurries up the appropriation.
Surely they are at least equal TO this duty in
behalf of their constituents and of the country
at large; for in New York city Post Office.
where its enormous business can be rapidly
and systematically discharged, the whole coun-
try is directly interested.

The latest Cabinet reports from Washington
are that Senator Morton, Of Indiana, will take
the place of Mr.. Fish in the State Department
Very good. This change will be satisfactory
to the country, and especially to the go-ahead
masses of the republican party. In connec-
ton with General Schenck, of Ohio, as our
Minister to England, the suggested appoint
ment locks like business on those Alabama
claims and the st. Lawrence question, on the
broad gauge of the West, although Summers
gauge is broad enough for all practical pur-
poses. With the addition Of General Butler
to the Cabinet and his Cape Cod programme
on American ishermens rights, there would
be good prospect for thorough waking up
of John Bull from his slumbers, and a gene
raj revival in all the republican camps from
Cape Cod to California.


But to proceed with our latest rumors. II
is rumored that General Pleasonton, of New
York, may be transferred from the Internal
Revenue Bureau to the post Of Secretary Bout
well. We have no doubt that General Pleas
onton is equal to the duties Of the Treasury
Department, but he is doing very good SER
vice where he is, and we presume he
is satisfied with his post. New York
can also supply man Cor the Treasury
who will be equal to it's financial and its
political duties. J. W. Forney, Of Pennsyl-
vania, is mentioned as the probable new Post
master General, and he is man who can
make the forty thousand post offices Of the
country harmonious working system for the
country and for the administration. Ex-
Governor Jewell, of Connecticut, an active.
enterprising man and popular leading poIiti-
clan in doubtful State, will do very well

longer follow the old policy of picking up this
man, that man or the other for his Cabinet at

as the preliminary movement, should be SUBJ
mitted to a general republican caucus Of
Congress, and he should act upon the recon-
mendations of his party in Congress as the
authentic national council of the party for
every State and of the country at large. This
is the only way to secure Cabinet that will
be unit in itself, and that will give satisfac-
ton TO all sections and factions of the party
| in Congress and throughout the country. A
| Cabinet SO appointed would do much to hold
Congress together, while, upon the old hap
hazard plan, both Congress and Cabinet may
be still the old story of squabbles and splits
still beginning and never ending.
