Internal Rkyrnts Pmi'mon In response to an
Inquiry as to whether fine-cut made from tax-paid
pmg tobacoo must lie stamped and marked as other
fine-cut tobacco, Commissioner Delano writes the
following letter:
Trkasihy Dkpaktmknt, Offior of Intrkn ai. Rk
TKNCK. Washington, June 8, 1SH9: Hut In reply to
yonr letter of June 4, In relation to line-cut tobacco
manufactured from cavendish or ping, I have to say
that fine-cut tobacco, manufactured from cavendish
or plttg, should be put up In the same manner and
stamped the same as line-cut tobacco manufactured
directly from the leaf. The fact that a tax may have
been paid on the cavendish or plug docs not affect
the llairiHty of the fine-cut tobacco manufactured
from it. Very respectfully,
C. Delano, Commissioner.

IiKITIn PEEKS.
The London Adoertintr asks what will ho the result
If Sir. Gladstone should create lifty now poors? Tim
immediate eil'ect, we know, will be to carry the Irish
Church bill. But there vuu be no doubt that the
translation of a mau of wealth out of this troueral
mass Into the peculiar atmosphere of the lbjuse of
Lords has a tendency to make him a "conservative."
Lord Grey began to make liberal peers. Lord Mel
bourne followed hUn ; theu Lord John Russell und
Lord Palmerston. The.se four Whig Premiers cre
ated 123 peers In the course of the last thirty-live
years. Sir Kobert Peel and Lord Di;rly, In their
short ministries, created about forty. On a balance,
therefore, the Whifrs have created . eighty-throe
more peers than the Tories. And yet, In spite of all
this, when Lord Derby lust year opposed Mr. Glad
stone's Irish Church Supervisory bill, he obtained a
majority of ninety live.
FEMINISM.
On the person of a prisoner lately taken to Dublin
were found letters cailiug upon his countrymen to
Join the Irish arny. The following paper was also
found upon him :
"Soldiers of the It. Cut hollo, vaur services are re
quired for soldiers of t hrbt. Yur oath and wicked
promise to serve heritlcs is not binding ut this critical
period. Yon must oilleer your countrymen take
your arms, etc. come into town and city, and enter
food, gold, silver, anus, ami the best horses, every
where. Force the shopmen and constabulary into
tUe ranks. Pbicb of Gbusn,"
FRANCE AND PRUSSIA.
The Paris Patrle. says that several papers. In enu
merating the artillery force of Prussia, have de
clared that It conslHts of kooo guns, and that that of
France is numerically luferlor. "Without entering
now Into any comparisons," says the 1'atrie, "we
may, perhaps, be allowed to remark that France pos
sesses a total of guns, the bulk of which are
new rilled cannon, or old pieces which have beeu
altered, and that our artillery enjoys a very high
reputation In Europe."
TUB ITALIAN ARMY.
A scheme has Just beeu laid befare the Italian
Chamber by the Minister for War for the reorganiza
tion of the Italian army. There will be au active
army and a reserve. The yearly contingent will
consist of three divisions the first to serve twelve
years, four in the ranks, tlve on furlough, and three
In reserve ; and the second ami third to serve six
years only. The cavalry will sertfe five years In the
ranks. 1 he first two divisions constitute the active
army, and the third the reserve. The privilege of ap
pointing substitutes is abolished, but exemption by
payment is still to le allowed In exceptional cases.
Under the new scheme the yearly contingent will
consist of ss.ooo men, one-half of whom will be
placed In the first division, and the entire strength
of the active army will be 400,000 men, of whom
2TO,Ooo could at once be sent into tile Held In case of
war. The reserve Is to consist of 198,000 men. lu
order not to exceed the tlxed sum of Mu,ooo,ooo
francs allowed for the military budget, the ell'ectlve
strength of the army in tiino of peace is to be
178,000.
TIIE TVKF PEUENKRATINO.
The London correspondent of a Prussian paper
describes how the turf has degeuerated in England,
as well as the breed of horses. He says that not
only do Prussian coach horses most sucessf ully com

come to pass that English dealers are In tho habit of
going thither on purpose to buy up the Prussian
coach horses for the English market. lie

INDIA.
The
Festival of Jutrirernnnt Celebrated Tlila
lOlllll.
About this very time rf the year tens of thousands
of pilgrims are making their way from all parts of
India to the shrine of that ;god which has the power,
as they believe, to obliterate the transgressions of all
who make their offerings to him In person. Jugger
naut, the "lord of the world," has been worshipped
m the sacred town of Pooree, In the southern part of
Orissa, lying ahotrt three hundred miles from Cal
cutta, for seven hundred years past, and the pilgrims
constantly Increased In numbers until the year of the
fatal famine, when tho whole country was strewn
with the dead. Five years or so ago the attention of
the English public was called to a celebration In
honor of Juggernaut, within a few miles of Cal
cutta, at which several natives fell or threw them
selves beneath the car and were crushed to death.
Of old the great festivals were never deemed com
plete unless the triumphant path of the god had been
stained with the blood of his worshippers. But the
prlc sts dare not encourage that custom now.
II a devotee flings himself dowu before the idol,
the Hrahmlns cry out that it was an accident The
idolatry, however, still costs hundreds of lives every
year. The weak nnd sickly perish by the wayside,
and a cholera epidemic usually breaks out at Pooree
whin the city Is most overcrowded with pilgrims.
The poor creatures are huddled together in a way
which seems almost incredible to the European.
The temple of Juggernaut stands In a large luclo
sure In the centre of Pooree. There Is a Grecian
( lumn or black basalt In front of the principal gate
brought from Kanarok. The god lives In a large
tower, and about 840 persons are employed to minis
ter to his supposed necessities. There is an attend
ant w ho puts the idol to bed every night, another
who wakes him, a third whose olhce It is to put
water and a tooth-pick comfortably within his reach,
a fourth to paint his eyes for him every morning, as
if ho was a faded London beauty, several others to
cook and give him his food, 120 dancing girls to aranse
him in his heavy moments, and 8000 prlestB to wor
ship him and plunder the pilgrims. All this goes
on year after year Is going on in tho midst of this
not month of June, while the pilgrims throng every
rood which leads to the shrine.

A Wife Urlnff Knit In Chicago to Itecover Her
iiuBuuna,
I'rorn the Chicano Tribune, June 20,
A few days since a rather peculiar matter was
brought to the cognizance of the Superior Court. It
was expected, of course, that there would be a
public hearing, which would develop the wholo case.
It would seem, however, that the service of a writ
mis cauxea a subsidence or the causo of further liti
gation, wherefore it is presumable that the ex parte
statenimt under oath of the chief party In Interest Is
true. On Tuesday a writ of habeas corpus as sued
out by .Anna L. Sheldon, who sought, by the aid of
t!o court, to procure the body of her husband,
George 11. Sheldon. Inner application for the writ
she made substantially tho following statemeut:
"Anna L. Sheldon is the wife of George IL Sheldon,
who is at present au invalid, suffering from a severe
attack of l aralysls. That he was taken ill of said
riiM-use on or about the fith day of May, 1869, at
Cedar P.iipUIs, Iowa, where he was residing with his
wile. At once the wife employed three competent
and trustworthy physicians, who attended upon him
for the space of three days after the date mentioned,
at which lime they directed him to be placed in an
Intane asylum, liebeiug at the time parti yderauged.
Indi-rthls advice, on tho lttth day of Mav last, she
caused her husband to be removed to the State Asy
lum of the State of Iowa, at Mount Pleasant, she
delivering him to the care of Dr. Mark Ranuey, the
Superintendent, w ho Informed her that he could
not then direct her as to the time which
would necessarily bo expended In bringing
about a recovery of the patient to his reason
nnd health. Mrs. Phaldniithus left her husband at
the asylum, returned to her home, and thence came
to her brother's house, having it in mind to return
and move her spouse from his place of duress at the
earliest proper time. On the Bd day of June, lsoa.
she concluded that it was time to visit Mount Plea
cant to bring her husband home, whereupon sho
jm mi'ii mn iii nei, ami uemg aoout to start, learned
that he had already been, without her knowledge,
i ciuoyed to emvtigo, ItBIhs P, Sheldon, m brother!
Kavmg ascertained this fact she went to the hoard
ing house, on the corner of Sangamon and Ran
dolph Mreets, where the brother resided, and where
her husband was at the time. She saw EUaa P.
Sheldon and his wife, and requested to be allowed to
see her husband, which right was denied her. But
on the 3dth or May she did see her husband, at the
room of Bllus P. Sheldon, his brother, but then
only in the hearing and presence or the brother or
his wife, aud since that date she avers that she has
not been permitted to see him only when one of the
relatives Is present, and then only for the length of
time they choose to allow. Mrs. Sheldon avers that
her husband needs the greatest care In attendance
and nursing In order to restore him to health, and
that she is anxious and greutly desires to have the
charge and care of him. und that at her father's
house there are means fit and convenient to this
eml ; nevertheless, the brother refuses to allow her
to have him at her home. She states, in this con
nection, that prior to the illness of George II. Shel
don, her husband, for some months the brother
Ellas had not been friendly to George, and hud not
spoken to him when they met, and that her husband
greatly desires to be removed from his and bis wife's
custody.
GONE DOWN The sloop Martha Davis, Captain
Pobiuson, of thla place, was sunk at Kldley Creek,
Pa., one day this week. We believe the vessel has
bcenral8ed and put on the dry dock for repairs.
The sloop was being loaded with stone, the captain
had gone t Philadelphia on business, his mate was
absent, and it is supposed the men overloaded her.
it was at lirst thought that, as the vessel was resting
on tho rocky bed of the creek at low tide, a hole was
pressed through her planks by the great weight of
stone on board, but as, on examination, no hole was
to be found, It Is now surmised that, belug over
loaded, she coQld not rise with the tide, and the
water therefore rose above her and flowed lu over
her sides. The vessel will be ready for loading again
In a few days. Milmd (Del) Mutual friend.

AlinlMrr to Himin.
Special Deepateh to The Evening Telegraph,
Washington, Juno 23 There appears to b
some hitch about the appointment of 8ieklcs as
Minister to Spain, on account of his connection
with the army. Section 6 of the act of March
30, Km, provides thut any officer of the army
or navy w ho accepts or holds any appointment
in the consular or diplomatic service shall be
considered as having rcslgued his place in the
army.
Sickles was at the War Department to-day,
trying to have his stntus ns a retired oUiccr
better defined. He holds that, being on tho re
tired list, this provision of the law does not apply
to him. It is understood, however, that the
Attorney-General construes the law differently;
and this is where tho trouble comes in. Sickles,
If compelled to choose, will take the 8panisU
mission in preference to remaining in tho army.
