A Washington special: Ex-Senator Dorsejr baa gone to bis New Mezioo ranche for a month, as bis ease will not come np before that time. Martinez, the Chilian minister, baa re ceived a dispatch confirmatory of tbe authenticity of the protocol agreed on between the Chilian government and Trescott. General Rosoorans ia confined to bis room by threatened erysipelas in bis wounded foot. He hoped to be at the capital by the 22J to speak and vote on the Chinese bill. Letters and petitions and applications bearing upon sergeant Massn are com ing to the president in every mail and are being arranged for referenco to the secretory of war for report. Senator Fryo introduced a bill to build a railroad between New York and Wash ington, work to bf gin soon, which shall carry mails between the twooitios, in 6 hours, its rates of fare not to ezoeed five dollars. Tbe road is to be first-class in every respect. Royal B. Conant, whon cashier of the Eliot national bank in Boston, embez zled 17000, and was sentenced to Ded hara jail for seven years. On the ground that his health had been undermined by two years' confinement, President Arthur Las pardoned bim. The vacancy in the pay corps of the army bas been fillod by the appointment from civil life of John C. Maliholland, of Jennsylvaula. This was a personal ap pointment of Don Cameron. Mitchell, his senatorial colleague, was not evon consulted in the matter. The U. 8. river commission stoamor brought to Yicksburg news of a break at the Alsatia lovee, Tuompaon's bond tbt worst break south of Helena on the Louisiana sido. Thore are breaks at Alaatia, Arlee and Mrs Savage's, and tho eutire levee to Bellepluco is gono. The Palmetto Consolidated Mining and Milling Company, situated iu Hinsdale county, Colorado, was sold in New York on the 20th at public auction to pay the i'udgmont obtained against it by Wm. C. iartin. It brought only $15,000, John H. Mangham being tho purchaser. W. E, Dickson, of Chicngo, waited upon the president on tbe 21st and pre sented a monster petition from citiv.eus of Illinois for the executive to interfere in tbe rase of Sergeant Mason. He was accompanied by Representatives Aldrich and Farwell. The presidont said be would consider the case. Thore is some abatement in tho water on tho Ouuchita river at Trout 011, but it is rising in the Honoas river and Bayou Macon. Tho crevassea reported in the Alba levoe will add greatly to tho tlood of waters already dolugiug the oouutry between Bayou Macon and the Missis aippi river, and from South Rod river to Arkansas. Tho Indian agent at the Cheyenne and Arapahoe agency in Indian territory, telegraphs to the commissioner of Iudian affairs from Fort Reno that the reduction of rations by one third, whh was or dored by the Indian bureau, can't be made at this time without suffering to Indians. This would cause an outbreak. The agent save the Indians refuse to sub mit to enrollment for beet rations on proposed basis. Commissioner Price bas replied that instructions must be olteyed as congress bas failed to make the necessary appropriation for full ra tions. At Baptist ministers meeting iu New York on the 20th there was a large au dience. An address on "Aggresnive Christian Work" was dolivored by Rev Dr. MoArthur. The speaker expressed a decided objection againxt the Chinese bill recently passed by the senate, and aaid that all who oarao to this country should be received with opeu arms, and that the senators should be rebuked by Christian churches throughout the coun try. An old msu, in the discussion that followed, laid the blame on the should ers of young women. Too many of them, be said, were allowed to rvad novels and go to balls. Another speaker remarked that too many ministers, instead of preaohing Christianity, preaohed Grant and Conkling aermous. Answering the letter of a friend regard ing the story that Dorsey had never ac counted to him about the expenses of tbe campaign of I860 in Indiana, Marshall Jewell replied: "Yoor favor is at baud. I care little and know less what the news papers think about the copduct of the last campaign. I seal no money what ever to Dorsey in Indiana. 1 paid for a good many papers and other documents whieh be ordered for that state, aad sent a good many there on mv on account, You aay the papers charge that I have asked for no aoeountiog f r his Indiana expenses. That's true, for I bad noth ing whatever to do with bim. Having f umikhed him money I asked for Be ipianMions. ry truly y 01 MARSHALL JEWELL. Peter Btuchman's wife and daughter were drowned at Carlinville, 111., on the 20th by capsizing of aikiff in which they were riding. Passenger rates from Missouri points were demoralized on tbo 20th, tickota selling from New Yerk to Ksnsas City for $10 to 118, a direct cut of $10 to $12. Fare to Chicago went as low as $2, and $1 was the general rate except at the Chicage el Union office, which, under orders, maintained the rate at $7. Wabash and Rock Island lod the cutting. The exist ence of 200 or the Wabash cheap fare unlimited tickets in the hands of sculpers is the cause of tbe difficulty. Washington tpeoisl: A gentleman on intimate terms with the embassy at Washington of the Chineao Empire, aays in oase tho anti-Chinese bill passes the honse the Chinese minister would re move bis legation to Spain, to which country fie it tue aecreuiieu representa tive, and that official intercourse between the United States and China would be mutually broken off. Mr. Bartlett, American secretary of legation, ia said to be in hearty accord with the proposed action. Several western senators called on the president to nrge the promotion of Gen eral Crook to be major goneral. Tbe president replied ho fully appreciated Crook's ability and services bat could not promise to make tbe appointment as there are two or three in the army above him in rank. He didn't like jumping bim over their heads. Ho said it would a ratify bim personally to address Crook, and be would certainly give bis claims every consideration. Oenerals lorry, Howard, Augur and Pope out-tank Crook. Goners! York telegraphs the governor of Louisiana from Troy landing that they are distributing forage on the Black river. The eonntry is io fearful distress, and there are 350 head of stock on the Black, Tensas and Little rivers that must bo fed to save them. Corn and oats are shipped by the steamer St. John to be distributed on the Tensas river. Gener al York advisos shipment of forsgo for stock on all tbe streams above mentioned ; also barons Macon ind Bartholomew. Tbe river is rising rspidly. He has chartered a steamer to remove stock. At the kstauce of ex-Mayor Kallooh a argo meeting was held ia Ban Franoisco onthe22d. It is estimated that 2O00 were present. The meeting; was addressed by Kallooh at some length. It is gener ally uudortttood tue meeting was called for the purpose of reorganizing tho old workingmen's party, or an independent party, with Kallooh as its leader and exponent. The meoting was an initial ono, no attempt at organization being niado. Kallooh was the ouly speaker who addressed the meeting. Similar gatherings will be held at tbe same plueo two weeks bonce and after that every two weeks. The Tribune says: It is to be hoped that republicans in the house will not commit the serious blunder of delaying passage of the Chinese bill passod lant week by the xneate. According to infor mation receivod in Washington there ex- inta an emergency whieh should insure immediate passage of tho bill. Compa nies encaged iu importation of Chinese coolies uave, in anticipation of the enact ment of a prohibitory law, made exten sive preparations for landing semi-slave laborers by tboussuds on tho Fuoiflo coast. They have arranged to take the Hist advantage 01 any delay by congress iu passing the law roatrictiug Chinese immigration, and tho 'project is said to enjoy the oo-opcratiuu of sonio United Status consuls iu Chins in wholesale issuo of immigration cortiilwttts. The prompt ness of the senate in doalinz with the Chinese question should bo imitated by the house, The ordor Bonding Cant. Thomas II. Bradley to bis company and the resigna tion ot A. 1. I rosiiy, otuei cleric or tne war department, lias given lim to much coiumout iu army circles. Capt. Brad ley bus been 011 detail duty at the war department seven years and has never served a day with biHOompuny since his appoiutiueut to the regular army. Gen. Sherman urged bis return to ins regi ment with groat earnestness on several secretaries, but until now without suc cess. Crosby has bran chief clerk six teen yearn. It is ssserted that bis romov al was decided ou beforo his resignation was received, and tlntt investigation has been luHtituted into the administration of the war department building. It is said the power heretofore, exmoisotl ly tho chiof clerk aud certuiu subordinates will be greatly reduced and held iu stricter accountability. The accepted changes aud those threatened liavo pro duced great excitoniout among clerk of tho war department. Several removals are predicted. CoK Tbos. M. Niehol, being inter viewed, says he believes Uarfleld wrote the Rosecrana-Chose letter and that its kindly criticism f Rosecrans' conduct corresponded exactly with what Garfield had said to him (Niohol.) Nichol con tinued: "boon alter the electiou in liwu Gen. Garfield gave me a letter to deliver to Oon. Grant. I oalled at Grant's rooms in Fifth Avenue hotel in New York to hand him the letter. We had perhaps half aa hour's conversation about the campaign generally and tho Morey letter in p'vrtionlar. During tbe conversation Grant said there were two men that Gar field could never recognize or speak to without entire aacriuee of his own self reapeob Hewitt aud lloseorans. He said Hewitt's conduct was outrageously indo- cent, and that Rosecrana' was a great deal worse, for GurUeM bad been the beat friond he ever had. He hud stood up for him, apologised for his blunders, explained aud excused them, and defend ed him for soveuteen years, when if it hadn't beon for Garfield he would have long age sunk eut of sight into the obscurity which his worthlesNness entt tied him to. Ha said he hoped Garfield had found him out at last, and would let him take care of himself hereafter. He Was never tit to command an army. He wouldn't, or rather couldn't, obey orders. He was what he (Grsut) railed a consti tutional insubordinate, a sort of pig headed, obstinate man, who would get a selfish prejudice into his Load, atick to it and act on it against the judgmeut and reason of everybody else, and absolutely waa incapable of seeing any force in auy facts or arguments in oondiot with what waa, for the time being, bia theory. He said Rosecrana would have utterly de stroyed the army of the Cumberland er aad it destroyed if it hadn't been for the intelligence of the army itself, aad especially of such subordinate efEoers as liarflald aad Thomas. riaaacas amd uum m kjlc. da rauKWO- March M.-eHarliM exchange a Loi.lon naoaora. days, M; do, do unitary, I. sH Treualare-Par to i.

VEAb-7j ' The Bimt., A striking instance of English ignor ance of the Roer is to be seen in the illustrated papers issued during the lato war. There tlie Doer u reprecou'e.l an n man of enormous siza, his forbidding faco surrounded by a shaggy beard, bis head in the biggcHt of wide-awake bats, over his shoulder tho bandoleer of cartridges as good an avenge ruflion as the artist could devise. One pioture showed our picket attackod by Boers, one of these firing at our mon running away of courso -with a revolver. I never saw a revolvor in any ordinary Boer's hand; bad he bucu a weapon I am qnite sure he would not fire it from horseback. Another illustration of tho Roer method of fighting showed a dozen of them lying down under the crost ot a lull taking aim at the soldiers below, each Rocr holding his horse by tho bridle, the ani mals forming excellent targets for the soldiers below. Now, a Roer thinks more of his homo thuu himself, and would never dream of bringing him into the firo. The horses have been taught to stand without any ono holding them, aud are loft under cover well in the rear. Another introduced ns to a Roer family sitting down to a meal, the Kafirs of tho establishment seated at the table with the rest an incident that happened only in the artist's imagination, as no Roer would sit down with bis Kafir to a meal on any consideration, not to mention the misery which a table and a knife and fork would entail on the misplaced na tive. Your Roer might pas9 any day for a small English farmer; perhaps a bit more untidy about tho beard, not un likely evincing a stronger dislike to the wash-tub in nioro senses than oue. Tho superior class aro just substantial gentle men farmers, while many of them are strikingly handsome. They are a tall race, six feet four inches being a com mon stature, and differ from Euglish of the aamo class only lu dress corduroy suits of hideous shades of brown anil yellow being worn almost without ex ception, l'retorious, who commanded the iuvesting force round Pretoria is a very handsome man, Joubert has a hard lined cbver face, not altogether un pleasant. Kruger seems a cross between a butcher and a Methodist parson. ( Blaokwood s Magazine. Texts From tue Uuuflulst Uooki. All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks of acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the cart. For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time; hatred ceases by lve this is an om ruie.

Many of our most celebrated men, whose names are oonspiouons in the world of literature, were not renowned in their youth for any special mental brilliancy. Borne of the greatest dunces of tbe schoolroom, later on in life, shoot out far ahead of their brilliant mates and eclipse them entirely- The "dull boys" who strive with all thoir might, long and earnestly, to achieve success, frequently bear away the honors from tho compan ions who outshone them at an earlier day and develop a mental and intel lectual strength that carries them on till great bights are attained. The cele brated and eloquent Dr. Chalmers was exceedingly dull and stupid at bis school tasks so nady for play and prejudiced against studv, that his master grew dis couraged and lost all patience with bim. At last, denouncing bim as an incorrigi ble "dunce,"be ordered him to leave the parish school, and prophesied that noth ing could be made of bim under the most favorable circumstances. It is related of Sir Isaac Newton, "that be stood at the bottom of the lowest form but one in school," though he afterward went to work with a ' strong determina tion to outrival a boy above bim with whom he bad fought, and was so successful that he soon won the bead place in bis class; showing what con tinued perseverance will do. The famous and brilliant Sheridan showed so little mental brilliancy as a boy, that, "bis mother in presenting bim to a tutor, declared in complimentary terms that he was an incorrigible dunce." Alfieri, tbe most eminent of trorrio poets, gave prom ise of no talents in ii i early days. His outbursts of temper i pelled his friends, and be learned little r nothing in bis youth. let at forty-eight he mastered Greek, and translated several languages. He acknowledged that love made him a poet. Goldsmith, in bis boyhood, neglected the golden opportunities offered him, and gave little enough heed to study. Obedi ence to rules he detested, and be became notorious for bis improvidence and ir legularities. At the university he ex hibited no unusual genius. In after life he often spoke of himself ''as a plant that flowered late." Neither did Byron like tbe prescribed bisks assigned mm. "Dry intellectual food was not bis ambition at school," and the patience of bis teacher was sore ly tried he proved such an unwilling pupil. Then he passed "from the first to the fourth class, and was altogether too self-willed to take kindly to the nec essary routine of study." Robert Burns was not a precocious youth.he excelled more in athletic sports than in his studios. He was not notice ably bright or brilliant; and Thomas Chatlorton, whose brief career was such a melancholy one, was another youth sent home to bis mother with tbe con soling compliment that "he was a fool of whom nothing could be made." Even Walter Scott.whose works are a literature in themselves, cured little tor text books Ho much preferred desultory reading, and relished regular Btudy so poorly that the professor of the famous Edinburg University declared he was a dunce and would remain so. "Stuttering Jack Curran," as ho was familiarly known at school, was awk ward and" uneaiulv as a lad. and started out to make something of himself, with the odds against him. A stupid scholar, ho realized his imperfections and set to with a resolute will to overcome them, and most admirably succeeded in his efforts. Boswell, who gave to the world one of the best biographies ever written, was distinguished in early life much more as an idiot than being possessed of even common sense to help him along in the world. The Duke of Wellington showed no firomise of future greatness in bis early ifo, and gave bis mother hours of un eaeiuoss and worry, She felt no happy pride in her child, and it was far later on that he achieved fame and won her interest am admiration by bis beroio deeds. She imagined him a dunce, but ho did not turn out according to her early anticipations. General Ulysses Grant was not a promising boy, gifted with quick perceptions or unusual tal ents of any description, and considered so dull that his mother was wont to can him "Useless Grant," thinking he would never amount to much. Many are the men, famous in the grand walks of life, who have, as Goldsmith said of himself, "flowered late." They have often dis tanced the brilliant companions who ridiculed and looked down upon them; and the march of time baa proved their right to the immortal fume. Railroad hoclablllty. "Sneaking about tho sooiability of railroad travelers," said the man with crutches and a watch-pocket over his eye, "I never got so well acquainted with the passengers on a train as i am the other day on the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. We were going at the rate of thirty miles an hour, anil another train tolesoopod us from tho other direc tion. We were thrown into each other's society, and brought into immediate social contact, so to speak. 1 went over and sat in the lap vf a corpulent lady from Munitoba.aad a girl from Chi cago jumped over nine seats, and sat on the plug hat ot a preacher from La Crosse, with so much timid, girlish en thusiasm that it shoved the bat down, clear over his shoulders. Everybody seemed to lay aside the usual cool reserve of stran gers, aud we mado ourselves entirely at home. A shy young man with an emaciated oil cloth valice left his own seat, and went over and sat down in a lunch basket where a bridal couple seemed to be wrestling with their first picnic. Do you suppose that reticent young man would have done such a thing ou .ordinary occasions? Do you think that it he had been at a celebration at home, he would have risen impetu ously, and gone whore those people were eating br themselves, and sat down in the cranberry jelly of a total atranger? I should think not. Why. cne old man, who probably at borne led the class meeting, and who was as dignified aa Roscoe Conkling 'a father, waa eating a piece of custard pie when we met the other train, and be left bis seat and went over to the front end of the car, and slapped the custard pie on the ear of a beautiful widow front Iowa. People traveling somehow forget the austerity of their home lives, and form acquaint ances that sometimes last through ifa 1 Live Mlssronarj. When the list Uade out of those i who have done good services m Utah, away p close to the bead the Paddock will appear in shining letters. She is a born missionary, for eleven years she bas strnggled for the sister women here in Utah, her pen is incisive aa though it bad diamond points, she writes not from rumor, but from what she has correctly seen or heord, and every blow that she aims is a tel ing one. We find in the New York Herald an arti cle from her pen. which is intended as a supplementary chapter for the second edition of her book, "The Fate of Mrue. La Tour." It is a ringing chapter, surely. Below aro some extracts as fol lows: TolygamisU as a rule do not sup- ort their families. The masses of the ormon people are poor, and the con stant drain of the tithing system keeps them so, yet men who cunnot support one family in comfort are constantly taking more wives. The consequence is that none of their nnmerons families have the bare necessaries of life, unless women and children earn them. Not long ago tbe wife of a wealthy Mormon in this city complained to the bishop of ber ward that her husband did not sup port her. "Your husband gives yon a house to live in, does he not?" " "Does he keep you well supplied with wood and flour?" "Yes." "Then I think he is a good provider, and yon ought to be ashamed to enter a complaint against him." From such decisions there is no appeal.

San Francisco Report. f Tho Man With the Umbrella. Why it is that the public do not look kindly upon a man carrying an umbrella on a hot day is a mystery to be solved, but tho fact is that they do not, aud that not one man in a hundred has the moral couraore to carry one. Yesterday, when an eminent and dignmed citizen, coming bock from bis dinner, turned into Oris wold street with an umbrella over bis bead be was accosted with: "Been raining down your way ? "No, sir !" "Going to ?" "No, sir I" "Then you carry the umbrella to keep the flies off?" "Yes, sir." "Well, that's a good plan, and all soft men ought to practice it." The next man bad a grin on his face as be called out: "What's that for?" "To keen the Brn off." "What do you want to keep the sun off for?" "Might get sunstruck." "Suppose you did?" "Suppose you mind your own business sir." The next one presumed upon his long friendship to halt the man with the um brella and whisper: "Pretty sharp in you, old fellow; keep tho edges toward your creditors and they can't see you." Other men told bim that is earing a poultice on the head would dispense with the umbrella, and others said if he was afraid of his ears being tanned he should fasten a fan on each side of his hat. Not a single man took him by the hand and encouraged him, and wheu he reachod the postotttre he was so discour aged that he lowered his shade and used it to punch the ribs of a boy who had begun to sing: He'ii Hit he'ii s feller. And h lu an old utubrcller. Why 1900 Is not a Leap Year. The year 1900, although it is divisible by four without a remainder, is not a leap year, and it comes about in this way: Under the "Julian period" the solar year was considered to consist of three hundred and sixty-five days and a quarter of a day, but as the actual or civil year could not be made to include a quarter of a day, an additional day was inserted in the calendar every fourth year to make up for four lost quarters, and this is the 21HU of February. But the Jnlian method of intercallation made the year too long by eleven minutes, ten and one-third seconds. This put tbe calendar ahead of solar time one day in 129 years; so to balance this, in the ad justment of the calendar known as the "Gregorian," after Pope Gregory the Thitteenth, now universally adopted in Christian countries except Russia, one of the leap years is dropped at the close of every century, except when the fig ures of the centnriol year, leaving out the two ciphers at the end, can be di didod by 4 without a remainder. Thus, ltXW was a leap year, and 2000 will be, but 1300 and 1900 are not. "No," said he, "I m not disposed to be a bad man. But I expect to go into pol itics, so I'm keeping engaged to three girls at a time, to get well np in lying." Boston Post. A better plan would have been to have gone fibbing every day, and thus avoided all danger from big brothers and liability for pecuniary compensation ie tbe form of damages for breach of promise.
