Political Notes and Comments
; from the National Capital.
Rumor Says That President Cleveland's
Jfiother-in-Law will Marry
' i Secretary Bayard.
Special Correspondence.
Washington March 1. General
Sheridan, who usually refuses to
talk politics, says that James G.
Blaine will be the next President
of the United States.
The more the fisheries treaty is
studied the more its weak points
pKtraie.--It i9'Ets belieTMd..bere
that the Senate will ever consent to
ratify it, nor should they. We are
entitled to much more than the
proposed treaty give us and the
citizen of the couutry look to the
republican Senate to protect their
interests.
The pension committee of the
House have reported favorably the
bill pensioning Union ex-prisoners
of the war who were confined
sixty days or more in Confederate
prisons, and are suffering from dis
abilities which may be easily traced
to their imprisonment. The pen
sion is to be at the rates now pra
vided by law for like disability.
The bill" further grants a compen
salion of $2 per day to ex-pnson-ers
of the war for each day that
they were confined in prison. The
bill increasing the pension for to
tal deafness at $30 per month has
also been favorably reported.
One of the finest floral tributes
ever seen Bt the (Jamtol was on
Senator Manderson's desk last
Friday as he made his speech in
favor of the dependent 6. A. R.
pension bill. It was presented by
ex Tjmon soldiers as a slight testi
menial of their appreciation of his
untirinjr ell'oits iu behalf of their
bill. Hy th way. this bill is al
most sure to become a iuw. It
will pass both Houses and it is
not believed that Cleveland will
dire to ve:o i .
S-K-.iety is an agog over the ru
mor that Sirs. Foisom, Cleveland's
mother-in-law, who is now is Paris
lias gone there to obtain her trous
eau for her approaching marriage
to .Secretary Bayard .
The Houre Judiciary committee
iias reported favorably a bill ren
dering eligible to any pitition in
ihe United States army any persorl
who has served in the military,
naval or civil service of tlie late
oontederate states. If the )ill
should pns-s both Houses, Cleve
land mo, should he see fit appoint
Jeff Davis to the next position
that becomes vacant in tlie army,
iiutit is'nt likely to pass.
The Union ex-prisoners of the
war association!! held thier second
annual r-union in this city Thurs
day night. They had quite a jol
ly time singing war songs and re
calling incidents of their sufferings
in Southern prisons. Among the
speakers were Represeniatives
Morrill and Holmes, both of whom
lavorod giving a pensiou to every
soldier who wore the blue, whether
disabled or not. They urged the
members of the association to get
the legislatures of their states to
to memorialize Congress in behalf
of such a measure.
Cleveland had a hard fight to
carry his point of having thj demo
cratic nominating convention held
before the repuolican convention.
The anti-Cleveland men under the
lead of Senator Gorman stole a
march on the Cleveland people at
the first day's session of the na
tional committee and rushed
through a resolution fixing July
the 3rd as the date. But the next
day the Cleveland men rallied and
with the assist ince of numerous
telegrams from Dan Lamout wtio
was with Cleveland in Florida,
succeeded in getting a reconsider
ation and having June 5th made
the date and St. Louis the place.
The fight made, shows very plain
ly that Cleveland is not to get th
nomination without a struggle.
Hill has manv friends and they ay
from ihis time he is to be actively
pushed forward.
Senator Sherman advocates the
Senate bill to incorporate the Mar
itime canal company of Nicaragua
and says he would be willing even
that the United States Government
should construct' the canal. He is
not atone in his willingness.
There are many people who believe
that it would be a good policy for
the United Hates to construct a
ship canal from the Atlantic to the
Pacific oceans, over the route pio
posed by the Nicaragua company
or ar.y other route possible.

How Sir.-. I'attl Lyle Collins Unravels
ISiiucI Addresses fr l; uc. e ham.
Detroit Free Press--
Mrs. Patti Lyle ' Collins is a
reader of blind hand-writing in the
Dead Letter Department of the
postofiice at Washington. She has
been there for many ears, and has
a liberal jiajary for her work, is not
atraid or go
out'or co
administration, because she is an
expert in her profession. She is a
bright, clever woman, and has an
encyclopaedic memory for names
ami places, as well as a happy
faculty of guessing out obscure
statements written in illigible or
nonsensical chirography on the
backs of envelopes I found her
seated at her desk at the noon hour
e'utiug the frugal lunch the Depart
menr. Clerk carries in the regula
tion paper bag. She very kindly
gave a brief sketch of her work,
and showed her method of deciph
ering blind addresses and making
into good English the mongrel
languages recorded on the back of
enve.'opes by the careless aud
ignorant.
"How mnny languages do you
speak, Mrs. Collins?'' I inquired.
"Every known language except
ing the Russian and Chinese," she
answered. "Vv'e have few Russian
letters sent to this country, and
Chinese are so careful in prepar
ins the addresses usually having
one in English, iu caso of accident
that I have had no experience
with them.''
"How manv letters do you read
daily T
"About one thousand; but these
letters are never opened; only the
ad dresses are read."'
"Under what administration was
this department established"
"Under the management of
Postmaster General Key; but I
have held the position, only eight
years."
"Do these careless correspondents
appreciate the work you do?"
i "Yes. I receive manv letters of
thanks addressed simply to the
Dead-Letter Department. A wo-
TOan in England wrote to the
Postmaster-General, asking him to
find her brother in Massachusetts,
America; that "he had left the old
country r!iirtet;i years before, s nd
his relatives had never heard of
him oince. I found him at No-. 4
Barnngton street. Lowell, Mas?.
His trade was given, and I reason
ed from this that- he- would be
found in a manufacturing town.
After a year another letter came
here misdirected to the same man.
I never forget a name, and when I
read Mr. James Gunn, No. 4 Bar-
rincton street. United States of
America, I knew where to send it.
The man has communicated with
his friends after thirteeu vears-
Twelve Hours.

, Why are the dials divided into
twelve divisions of five minutes
each? Here Mr. S. Grant
Ohphant: "We have sixty divis
ions on the dials )f our clocks and
watches because the old Greek
astronomer, Hippaichus, wTho lived
in "the ecoud century before
Christ, accepted the Babylonian
system of reckoning time that
svstem beinj sexagesimal. The
Babylonians were acquainted with
the decimal system, but for com
mon or practical purposes they
counted by sossi and sari, the
sossos representing sixty and the
saros sixty times six 3o'0. From
Hipparchus that mode of reckon
ing found its way into the works
of Ptolemy, about 150 A. D., and
hence was carried down the stream
of science and civilization, and
found its way to the dial plates of
our clocks and watches."

The process for the manufacture

Paper is sprayed with acids until
throughly saturated,then compress

under hydraulic pressure and pass

out in elastic sheets.

is particularly favorable to the con

warning, and use Darbys Prophylactic
Fluid. It at once allays the inflam
mation of the throat, subdues the pain
and gives permanent relief. It prompt
ly and effectually destroys all con
tagion and diphtheritic germs, It is a
safeguard against Diphtheria, and
should be used on the first symptoms
of sore throat as a srargle.
