A Washington despatch says:
Commodore Shufeldt has returned,
and although the secretary of the
navy seems stalled in his efforts
to secure lay members of the ad
visory board, the naval oflicers
already appointed will meet to
morrow for a preliminary consul
tation. In this connection a rumor
has leaked out from the usually
impenetrable walls of the depart
ment of state. Tt is understood
that it is but little of a great deal
that was passing of a serious
nature, but which has been kept a
profound secret. The story is
that the president and secretary of
state were much more anxious for
the liberation of American suspects
imprisoned in Ireland than has
been known. It will be remem
bered that Minister Lowell came
in for the lion's share of the abuse
for the dilatory course of events.
It is said that the fact is the big
politicians of England wanted at
that time to pick a quarrel with
the United States, or at least make
a show of threatening hostility for
effect upon their own public at
that time, iiritated by Mr .Blaine's
attitude with regard to English
influence upon this continent. It
is not understood that the Brit'sh
cabinet desired an actual breach
of the friendly relations existing
with the United States, but they
wished to insult this government
in such a way as to win the ap
plause of the anti-Irish party, re
lying upon the weakness of our
navy as a guarantee that we "would
not be able to resent the injury.
This attitude of Great Britain was
by no means discouraged by the
result of our diplomacy with Chili.
So extremely sensitive was the
temper of the British cabinet at
that time that it is stated that only
Mr. Lowells caution and finesse
prevented an opportunity for in
sult, to this Torernment, which
would have placed us in a position
of great embarrassment, owing to
our deicnceless condition. If this
statement of the case should be
correct, the long delayed release of
the American prisoners was not
delinquency on the part of Min
ister Lowell or the department of
state, but the necessity for the
preservation of a peaceful attitude
on the part of the United States.
The Iowa Law.
A correspondent describes how
the former Maine law worked in
Iewa:
"But there was no law against
giving the stuff away; and it was
given away ad libitum. In those
days man' a little, comedy was
hourly enacted in the county
stores. Enter a customer, when
the following colloquy would en
sue: Customer How much coffee
for a dollar?
Merchant Five pounds.
C Give me five pounds.
A package is handed him.
M. Take something?
C. Don't care if I do.
M. What shall it be?
C. "Whisky cocktail.
The beverage is handed him
and he imbibes.J
C. Come to think of it, I don't
want that coffee to-day. . What's
the difference what profit on that
five pounds?
M. Two cents a pound, sir, is
my profit on that coffee, or ten
cents for the five pounds.
C. Here's your ten cents.
Good-daj
So the customer paid the ten
cents forfeit on the coffee trans
action, which was perfectly fair
and square, and was so held in
law, for the dram was a pure
gratuity on the part of .the coun
try merchant, who could not be
prosecuted for selling the whisky.
And so this farce was played as
long as the law lasted. You
could not buy a cicrar, a yard of
muslin or a pound of nails without
being invited to "take something;"
and yet the sign "no liquor sold
here," was prominently displayed.
No, it was not sold, but given
away (over the left). The conse
quence was that everybody got
3rank. Even the most respect
ble citizen took something for the
fun of the thing, and the lock-up
was full ivery ninght.
Pumpkin Pie.
The standard of taste by which
most people judge of food is that
furnished by their mother's fable.
''What is the matter with the
pumpkins now a-days?M said a
gentleman the other day. "1 never
see. and certainly never cat, any
more such golden, luscious pies as
my mother used to make.' After
making due allowance for the
change- in the individual from boy
Uood to manhood, the fact
remains that there is a de
cline in pumpkin pies. A searcher
after the reason for it declares one
to be that too many spices are now
used, entirely disguising the flavor
of the pumpkin, which, if propeily
cooked and of good quality, is
delicate and agreeable. Ginger
seems to be the only legitimate
seasoning for a pumpkin pie, but
a faint suspicion of allspice or
cinnamon is allowable. Then, too,
instead of sweetening with sugar
alone, at least half of the sweet
ness of the pie should be due to
molasses. I'or a medium-sized pie
allow one full coffee-cup of stewed
pumpkin "poured through the
kitchen sieve" after the manner of
Sydney Smith's salad. If riclrin
eggs, allow two or three; if not
make three eggs do dut' for two
pies, dividing after beating. If
the milk used to thin the pumpkin
is half cream, so much the better.
A teaspoonful of ginger is a lib
eral allowance for one pie. Bake
with an under crust only, and until
the top of the pie is brown and a
delicate skin is formed over it.
The pedestal of Gladstone's
at Bow will bear the inscriptien:
"A great leader, whose gigantic
itellect seemed beyond compre
hension a man whose marvelous
eloquence had astonished the
civilized world." There is no
living statesman of whom a statue
may more appropriate!' be erected
than Gladstone, but it is in exec
rable taste to give it such a flam
boyant inscription as the above.
The aim in inscription should be
not to see how much can be said
without absolutely overstepping
the bounds of truth, but to say
rather less than is true, in order to
insure its cordial acceptance by
everybody who reads it. CIrico

The loth of last month was a
noteworthy date, being the three
hundredth anniversaiy of the in
troduction of the Gregorian cal
endar. It was the work of Pope
Gregory XIII, who, in the year
15S2j being struck by the fact that
the vernal equinox, which at the
time of the Council of Nice, A.-D.,
325, had occurred on March 21st,
then happened on the 10th, caused
ten days to be thrown out of the
current year the day after Thurs
day, October 4th, being declared
October loth. This alteration of
the style was immediately adopted
in all the Roman Catholic countries
of Europe.
Adelaide Detchon, a pretty
soubrette, has evidently "mashed"
a Boston youth with serious effect.
He writes descriptively of her:
"ine wnite wonder ol her arms
is too divinely perfect for anything
of mere flesh and blood, and she is
but the beautiftil phantom of
some delicious dream chiselled
into glorious tangibility by some
old master's cunning hand."
Gosh!
What to him was love or hope?
What to him was joy or care?
He stepped on a plug of soap the
girl had left on the topmost stair,
and his feet flew out like wild,
fierce wings, and he struck each
stair with a sound like a drum,
and the girl below with th scrub
bing things laughed like a fiend to
see him come.
"I have given St. Jacobs Oil a
trial on sores and fresh wounds of
horses, and find it to relieve the
soreness in a few hours. I deem it
valuable to all owners of horses,"
says Miko Goodin, Esq., of the

ery Co., Pa.
Finding One'a Place.
A good many people spend all
their life hunting for a place-in-this
world that they won- imonriVd
to fill. They never settle down to
anything with anv sort of restful
or contented feeling. What they
are doing now is not by any means
the work that is suited to their
abilities. They have a sunny ideal
of a very noble life which they
would like to reach, in which their
powers would have free scope and
where they could make a very
bright record. But in their pres
ent position the' cannot do much
of anything, and there is very little
use to try. Their life is a hum
drum and a prosy outline, and they
can accomplish nothing really
worthy and beautiful. So they go
on. discontented with their own
lot, and sighing for another; and
while they sigh the years glide by,
and soon they will come to the end,
to find that they have missed every
opportunity of doing anything
worthy of an immortal being in the
passage to eternity. Tho truth is,
one's vocation is never some far
off possibility. It is always the
simple round of duties that the
passing hour brings. Xo day is
commonplace if we only had eyes
to see its splendor. There is no
duty that comes to our hand but
brings us the possibility of kingly
servic'.
The thrifty British Columbians

business and pleasure. lie has
been taken to visit all the local
manufactories, and at most of them
he has left liberal orders for speci
mens of their products. The mar
quis and princess will need- to put
their heads together to discover
what to do with all the boots and
shoes, gloves, etc., that have been
contracted for by the patronizing
governor-general.
A movement is on foot among
leading Democrats to give the
challenge banner to New Yoak on
account of her big majority, al
though originally intended to be
contended for by presidential
elections, and presented to thel
state giving the largest majority.
Georgia won it in 1S7G, and kept
it three years. Texas won it in
1SS0, and it is now in the posses

It will no doubt be sent to Xew

The cotton crop now being
gathered is the largest ever raised
in the United States. The esti
mate is 7,000,000 bales. In 18S0
the yield was G,oS9,000 bales, and
the largest up to that date. There
was a falling off in 1SS1 of more
than a million bales, and an esti
mated gain this year of nearly half
a million.
"To such an extent did I suffer
with inflammatory rheumatism that
I could not feed or dress 1113' selE
