The Pretlileut recently snld (but tbo remiiuing cuangea-in the Cabinet would not be mule nutil about the 15th of Muf oh. General Arthur Is entitled to in dulgence lu finally forinihp; bis Adrolu titration. Ha bus been very oonscrva tire in bis methods, una dona nothing rashly and it is not likely that bo will dovlnle from th iUn he marked cut nt the beginning of bis Presidential career. More rmpbalio men would donbttai bare completed the work when once be UUU at a Blngle daub. By this method the warring elements in the Republican parly would have been furnished with the fighting material which they ss much desire. But now they are at a'stand-atill and can only wait and hope for some thing to turn up whioh they can con struct into a first-class grievance, on which they can kase an excuse for (be re-opening of hostilities. They thought they had it the other day, when the notorious Effigy Sargent suddenly turned up in Washington and informed aereral Senators, that bis name would certainly be sent in that day for Secretnty of the Interior. Assuming his statement to be true, it created consider able indignant comment. But Sargent's name has not yet been sent in and how ever much tbo President may like the wau personally he has not yet mustered sufficient couragu to nominate a man with such an unsavory reputation. And it is not likely that be will, unless her takes leave of bis senses, for Sargent in a man in whose bands the Interior Department would become a great private corporation run solely in the interest of the Secretary and bis friends, out of which fabulous fortunes could be made by tho mere cratch of a pen. President Arthur cannot be ignorant of the state of puhlio opinion on the.sub j.ct of Sargent's appoinlmeut, and could not afford to ignore it by making a selec tion so infamous, for the notorious Caii fornian bus long been known &h the crea ture of corporations, the champion of polygamy, the tool of rings, the all) and defender of Secor Itobcson and a trading politician of thu most uuptiucipUd son.

It is imt an edifying sight to witness Grant's notorious jobbing ex-Secretary of the Niivy, Secnr Itubmon, running the UepubliCrtU party in the IIou-o of Kopre senlatives. A britf glimpue at bis career while administering the Navy depart ment, will show bow unfitted this man is to occupy any position of influenoe cr importance. He wns great on deficienc ies, and indulged in them as a profitable lasury.- One of sorcn millions bad to be m lie good by his successor.

H claimed to have the nfbs.t positive knowledge that Spain had agreed to set tle the VirginiiiB affair, and insisted upon asberu tiling a llect on the coast of Florida, as u sham to cover tho enormous con tracts made by his brokers on that occa sion for supplies that were never used. Secor Robeson was poor very poor when he entered upon bis duties as Sec retary of the Navy, and be is now among the richest members of Congress. lie may be accepted nst the leader of the Re publican party in the House; be may pull the vires and compel Mr. Keifer, the Speaker, to act cs he desiros, aud he may pack Committees for John Roach and his associated Rings to shape legis l&tlou, but be can never efface from tbo minds of the people that he is a bold, bad man, wbOBO every act demand tho keen est sorutiny. There is a scarcity of sauerkraut in the market, as tho lovers of that product look at the present supply. The cab bage crop has been a comparative failure. and it has been found expedient to send to Germany for sauerkraut to supply a 'part of the German-American demand. In New York there is almokt no market at all lor the imported article, because the cabbage crop in the suburbs, has been sufficient for tho local supply. But the people who really pine for sauerkraut, and for whom it bos been impelled re cently, are tho new German settlers in the Western States. Hundreds of pack- ages have been sent to them from the 1'atberland. A shipment of 100 casks reached New Ycrlt tho other day in a damaged condition that is, the pock ages were more or lest, broken. It baa been said to be imposbiblo to spoil the sauerkraut itself. These hundred casks were sold by auctic u in Burling Blip, Sew York, Tuesday noon fer SI .12 j a cask. Four hundred bills were introduced in the Houe ki Monday, Over seven hundred had -beeu introduce) on th Monday previous The Senate baa bad its prnpurliun of new lulls since the re cess. Be-fore the CLrialiuas holidays be tween two thousand aud three thousand of these document had been offered in the two Houses, n that now the total number of mtiuurr.s before Cougrces must be about four thousand. Tnee are rather startlit-g figures, bnt when wo re flect that a very h.rge proportion aro special legislation, only attempted in or der tn bntikfy the urgency of individual constituent without nuy expectation of their passage, they do not look so amazing- The filtieth nuuivciatiry of Itlbbop It )We h ordiiuition to tbe ministry we celebrated Wednesday in Christ Church It adiug. The church was profusely decorated with flowers imd there was larse attendance, among the clergymen preseut being Bishops Clark, of Rbnd Island, and Whltehnoe, of Pittsburg, Archdeacon Kirby, of England, and ltev, Dr. Tycg, of New York. The principal feature of tho celebration was the presen tation to the veueruble Bishop of a pas toral staff made of elwuy, bkudal and oak wood and inlaid with jewels. .la1??

Tbo recent terrible railroad accident on tho Hudson River ltallroad, by which number of persons lost their lives and whose bodies were burned almost beyond recognition by the overturning of the toyes which set fire to the cars, has re awakened interest in tho methods of beat ing passenger con olios. Stoves are un deniably dungerous and should have been abolisbtd yearn ago. The new plan of heating with steam direct from tho en gine has proved a success wherever used and is in. satisfactory operation on all roads whoso managers parsimony has not made them blind to the comfort and ifety of their patronB. -Speaker Keifer, of tho House of Rep resentatives, is m very bad odor, as he should be, for he has shown himself to be small brained, political trickster, only too wilting to do the bidding of keen wittcd, u'ctupnloim knaves, who move him at their pleasure by piomising bini a mora exalted position in tbo future. He is getting very hard rapi from tho influ ential members of his own party, and it is more than likely that, with the oxpira tiou of bis present term in Congress, Mr. Keller's political race will balound to be ruu. -The Guiteuu trial is drawing to a close.

It is pleasant to bo assured that there is to be nothing like a quarrel over the coffin of the dead President. Or, Bliss is authority for tho announcement, that neither he nor the other physicians will present any bills to the Congressional Conimillei), which is to pass upon their compensation. He says they are con tent to recelvo whatever Congress may give. This is a sensible conclusion which we hope they will adhere to. . -Small-pox is very prevalent in many sections of the country and atoms to bo on the increase.

More than half the winter has passed with no very severe weather, but we must not shout until we get out of the woods, February has been known to b a stinger and with tho assistance of tempestuous March, to give us such a (rigid blast that we were only too glad to welcome the tnlmy days of April. -The new Yandeibilt mansion in New York, was thrown open to the friends of tho family on Tuesday eveniug.and they were permitted to revel amid a domestic grandeur which had cost $3,000,000 to create.

Tbe total exports of domestic bread- stuffs from tbe United States during 1881 were valued at $221,1185C0, against $275,030,859 tn the preceding year. -Another Internal machine has been picked up in tbo public marketof Quebec. It is probably not a very dangerous in strument. CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY. In the Senate Thursday, 12th last., Mr. Ingalls rose and quoted from tbe tariff speech o( Mr. Beck a passage declaring the Pensions Arrears bill "a fraud on the Amer ican people and a standing monument, to the ignorance, selfishness and cowardice of the American Congress." Mr. Ingalls, who was tbe father of the measure thus described, said It was his belief that tho bill was just in principle, hut had been misunderstood by the country. He therefore offered a reso lution declaring that in the opinion of tbe Senate the act ought not to he repealed. At the suggestloa nf Mr. Deck, who wished to present proor orhls assortinns.the resolution was laid over. On motion of Mr. Toller, a resolution was adopteil asking information in regard to the land grunt made to the Northern I'ueiCo Railroad. Tho Sherman r undine bill was considered.

The gay season has fairly begun now and no lady who pretends to keep up her soolal duties at all thinks of spending an afternoon otherwise than in making or receiving calls. Tho rush of evening parties has not yet begun and I do not beliove there will be as many as usual. The Cabinet is still so nnsettled that only ono lady of the Cebiuet families received on Wednesday. This was Mrs. Lincoln, tbo wife of the Secretary of War.who had numerous visitors. Two of the families that of Secretary Hunt, whose wife's fath er died last month, and of the new Post master General Mr. Howe, whose wife died last summer, are in such deep mourning that they probably will not re ceive or make calls this winter. The ex pression "Cabinet ladies," used here as a matter of couvenience, has often been censured as incorrect, but it is substan tially accurate now since the ladies of tbe families of President Arthur's Cabinet in a sense, members of his Cabinet too. While tho gentlemen advise nnd assist him in affairs of State, the ladies no leas are his counsellors and assistants in social matters, by b,is r; quest. It is really comical to hear matrons say of the President, "Poor man, be has no lady to 11 blm what he ought to do at the White House.'' Tbo clerical force of the White House remains with bnt few exceptions au chauged. Mr. Frank Phillipps, Presi dent Arthur's Private Secretary, is on; of the nt w attaebes. From what experience I have bad of 1dm thus far ho has shown himielf to be n thorough business man, early and late at his desk, attending to his work in a methodical way. na is able to satisfy many of those who call thor oughly imbued with the idea that they will have to see the President or the country will certainly como to anuntime ly end. Mr. Phillipps is an ornament to his responsible officii, and a great im provement upon nil hi predecessors. Mr. O. L. Fruden still remains nt his old place, and is ably assisting Mr. Phillipps in dealing with visitors aud looking over the mails, besidts ho enjoys a good joke when he sees it. Mr. Crook keeps tb uccmiiitB and pay's off everybody nbout the house. Tivo or three additional clerks for special nnd geniral work com pleto tho clerical iorca of the Wbitu House. Dr. Bliss has returned from New York, where be net other physicians of the late President G.irfield for consultation rela tive to fees. The total of the various sums agreed upon foots up SI 10,000. It may mrprise tbe country to learn that Dr. Bliss's share, according to this ar rangement, is ratber more than twice as much as that of either Agnew or Hamil ton. It is said that Dr. Bliss has token oharge of the claims of all the physicians, aud will present tbem to the Congres sional Committee. It is understood that he will ask for himseir $50,000, for Drs. Agnew and Hamilton $25,000, for Dr. Reyburn $8,000, and for Dr. Boyton and Mrs. Dr. Edson $1,000. Intense sensation in certain circles of the Star route kind, was created the oth er night by the wholesale orrest of mem bers of the ring. The arrests wcro made cautiously and quiotly and tbe matter is profound secret, excepting to n few newspaper men. Tbe warrants were sworn out by Special Officers Tidball and Sballcross of the PostOfficoDepartment, late iu the afternoon and placed in the hands of the detectives after dark. James Douohue, a clerk in the Pension Office, John Winnix, a blacksmith, Edwin J. Sweet, a Real Estate Agent, and Samuel Uoyt, another Department cleik, were locked up on the charge of having furn ished worthless bonds in mall coutraots. It is claimed also that our City Postmas ter, D. B. Ainger and bis assistant have been guilty of certifying to a large num. ber of these worthless bondi. On ni proacbing Col. Ainger to-day, bo said that the charge was ground lens, ar.d that no bad already given satisfactory expla nation to everybody concerned. If the Government relies alone on the investi gation and rcpoit of Detectives Tidball and Shalloross to prove its case against tbe accused,! am batisfied that tbe prose cution bos a very bad cafe indeed, be cause both thi'se detectives have proved themselves to be regular unisanccs in Washington during the past two or three years. Tbe editor of oue of our dailies here says that they are mean enough to kiss their bible and their mothers into the penitentiary at any time. AcavsT, Fsom ode SrrcuL Corkesfoxdknt. Wisiuiiarox, Jan. IS, 1881. Tbe nearest thing to a sensation we have bad since Congress reassembled is the lively shaking up of certain swamp land transactions down in Florida. Of late years the people have como to under stand somethiug about the ways iu which the public domain his melted away, as It were, only to benefit aud enrich grasp ing corporation; but there is still little general knowledge of the devious ways by which millious of acres are gobbled through the dishonesty and couulvauce of trusted public servants. Rumors are frequently beard here of frauds in con uectiou with the publio lands, but noth iug is done to protect tbe Government. Strange stories are told of tbe wonderful expausiou of Spanish grants in New Mexloo, and of frauds committed in var ious parts of the country under cover of tuo nouiutead and pre-emption lawa; and a-onie disagreeable, facta bare recent - ly Lteu pribtuted to tlio CouusUkioucr of the General Laud Offico touching the abuso of tho pre-emption law in Minne sota, where it is said many thousands of acres have been located for purely spec ulative purposes. Most political econo mists now agree with the theory of Ed mund Bnrko that it is bettor for tha Gov ernment nnd the country when every acre of tillable land is taken np and oc cupied; but this wbolesala violation of the law which provides that tbey shall go pub only for actual 'settlement, should be at down upon. In 1850 a law was enacted granting to the several States, except Kansas, Nebras ka, and Nevada, all the swamp or over flowed lands within their lines .'emainlng unsold and unfit for cnltlvation. It was made tho duty of the Secretary of,tbe In terior to mark out these lands and con vey them, nnd the States "were required to nse the profits of the tale of such lands id reclaiming them by levees nnd dams. In deciding the question whether any legal subdivision nf land was swamp land or not, tbo rule was to bo that when the greater part of a subdivision wns wet and nnfit for cultivation it should be called swamp land, but that it should not be f o called when wet land wan not greater than the area of dry land. The total area of swamp lands selected which had been for tho several States up to June 30,1879, was nearly 57,000,000 acres, of which Florida bad the largest area more than 15,600,000 acres. Of this area in Flori da nearly 12,000,000 acres had been np proved and nearly 11,000,000 acres pat ented to the State. Since that time a largo additional area has been seenred over a million acres aud it is this, which is now to be the subject of a Congression al investigation. TnE RrrortTEn, "a monthly bulletin of Governmental af fairs," published by the National News Bureau of this city.first makes the chargu that there was connivance on the part of the commission representing tbe Interior Department with the Stato agents in short, that the lands confirmed are not swamp lands. Tbe charges are specific, and Senator Jones, of Florida, with a copy of Trie Reporter before him.which he said came from the Secretary of tho Interior, calls for a committeo of inquiry. It can be stated that the editor of Tns Rbporteb knew what he was talking about, and that there willbesomo devel opments. The three men named as par ticipants in tbe swindle have been re lieved from duty in the Land Office. The Americans living nt the Arlington Hotel have, of course, been greatly inter ested in watching the newly armed Chi aeoo Minister and his wife and their ser vants. The latter are numerous and seem to be all pervading, for, of course, being utterly unacquaiLlcd with tho customs of an American hotel and unable to read number on doors, they aro as likely to be found in one part of tbe houf-e as an other and sometimes have entered by mis take tbe rooms of tho boarders wbeu tbo latter were in them. Of course it is, to say tbo least, embairr.ssing for a lady standing in her petticoats iu tbe net of wriggling hcrseir head foremost into a "jersey" to hear hor doormddeuly open, followed by a juttural exchmatioo, aud catch a gllmpso.ns she gets one eye above tbe close-clinging fjnrineut, of ripidly re treating Cbiut so figure. Wbeioforo the1' boarders ii the hotel now l.ve behind barricadts, ru it were, and bnvo tbcit' doors always fnstened. The MinUter's wife and ber maid ipper.r to hate bevel ed, bareheaded, for when tbey nrrived tboy had no bead coverings, but tbo hair of tbo lady wns carefully dressed. Sho Is supposed to wear No. 3 bboes chil dren's size, so very tiuy aro ber feet. Sho cannot walk without asslitanca, and speaks no Euglisb at all. Sho is tbo third one of the Chinese ladies of rank to leave her native country. There is a perfect avalancbo of petit ions procipilnted on both House-spraying for relief from tho exorbitant railroad tariffs on freights, aud that Couf.resi will exercUo its power to regulate inter-state commerce. The mocking way iu which some of the Members introduce these pe titions is indicative of the fate that is in store for them the Committee room pig-eon-toio. The corporteraonopoli;n are thoroughly entrenched in both Houses and it will take a political earthquake to move them. Dom Pedko. For the Cm-ox AnvooiTR. SOli:NTiric M)'M!S, Prof. Tnit describes three forms of mirage. Tbo first, and meet common, is that seen iu the destrt, v. hero the sun light is reflected from the heated layer of air resting upon tbe sand to tbe eye of tho observer, and irresistibly gives rise to tho impression of a reflecting surface of water at the point in tho desert-from which the rays are projected. A secoud form is that observed in the Arclio re gions, of which many beautiful illustra tions bnve been giveu by Saoresby. Tbe principal phenomenon is what is called looming" distant objects showing nn extravagnut increase of vertical height without alteration in breadth. Distant hummocks of ice nre thus magnified into immense towers and pinnncles.nnd a ship is sometimes abnormally drawn nut until it uppears twelve or fourteen times as high as it is lung. Tbe celebrated fata morgana of tbe Straits of Messina is of this character. Bocks are seen drawn np ti ten or twelve times their proper height; Mid bouses, as well as human beings aud animals, appear in like exaggerated shape. Tbe most remarkable instance of this kiud of mirage was observed in 1798, when from Hastings a portion of tbe French coast forty or fifty miles away woi seen as plainly as though but a few miles distant, although ordinarily bid den by tbe earth's convexity. Tbe third aud perhaps most extraordinary form of mirage is that observed by Viuce in 1799, iu which a ship at sea showed three dis tinct images a lower and au upper one in an upright position and an intermedi ate one in which the object stood inverted. Physicians of Rio Janeiro recom mend tbe oil of anda, n Brazilian tree, as a substitute for castor oil. It is pleas- anter to take, and tbe dese is smaller. Au iron chess-board provided with, magnetic cheas-meu is a Berlin novelty. The small mugueta concealed iu tbo fig. nres cause tbem to adhere to the iron board and retain their place in spite of considerable shocks, such, for instance, as are received on shipboard or on rail road trains. Dr. Fleck, a Dreaden chemist, at- tributes the production of pimples and inflammation ou tbe forebead of soma ; person", in hot weather, to tho presence ef fat or fatly acids in the leather lining of hats. By experiment he has lately shown that the fat is contained in all leathers, and, nlthough small in quanti ty, is sufficient to produce tha result in question. To avoid the unpleasant effects he recommends rubbing the greasy leath er with burnt magnesia. A French Government vessel has re cently succeeded in dredging in tbo Bay of Biscay at a depth of 17,000 feet, or three and one-fifth miles. The animals found at that distance beneath the sur face were nnmerous, but ofsmnll size, A novel application of the electrio light is Intended to diminish tho risk of collision. Tbo light, with a reflector, is placed on a movablo arm in such a posi tion as to move with the rudder, thus in dicating by tbe direction of its beam the course steered by the vessel. Logs aud planks split at the onds be cause the exposed surface dries faster than the inside. If muriatio acid be sat urated with Iimeaud applied to tbe end-i like whitewash, tbo chloride of calcium formed attructs moisturo and prevents splitting. Herr Kcpner, at Salzburg, in the Tyrol, has observed that heating earths and rooks causes them to become mag netic With vnrious specimens of baked and unbaked bricks ho has tested the ac curacy of tbo observation, which is stilt further confirmed by experiments with several minerals by two other scientists. Tho magnetism of newly-heated rocks appears to diminish somewhat in time, but some specimens of slag, perhaps thousands of years old, were found to be still magnetic. As the use of electricity becomes more and more general tho great import ance of somo method of storing the cur rent for fnturo use becomes more widely appreciated. Since tbo announcement of Faure's electrical accumulator some mouths ngo, this subject has been much studied nnd several storage batteries have been produced by eminent electricians. The most promising apparatus of this kind is said to bo one just described by Mr. Henry Sutton, of Austrnlin, to tbe British Royal Society. Itoppe.va from information now at hand, that Mr. Sut ton obtained tbe best results with a neg ative eloctrodo of copper and a positlvt of amalgamated lead that is lead coated with mercury. These two elements are placed in n solution of sulphate of cop per. When a current ot electricity i passed through this cell the solution is decomposed and metnllio copper der os ited on the negative tltctr de, while tbe positive is peivxidized. When the bat tery ia being discharged tbo notion is re versed, the copper elanem hoi gox diitd, and the oxide combining with the acid again forms sulphate of copper. As tho copper is depoiited in chiiyiug, tho so lution gradually loses ils blue color, be ing converted into Kulpburio r.cfd. It is stated that Mr. Sutton will not patent his discovery.
