THE OM AltNOl.H HOUSE AT NEW
HAVEN.
New Haven Despatch In the Boston Globe.
An interesting discovery has been
mado by Thomas Ailing nt tho old
Benedict Arnold house in Water street.
In tnkiug out u portion ot tho garret

ed to havo boon used by Arnold dur
ing tho wur of tho revolution ns n hid
ing placo for suspects or lugitives
whom ho wished to befriend. Tho
lifting of sorao of tho garret floor
planking revealed the pocket or vault
underneath. It is about four and one-
half feet deep and six feet square, nnd
is plastered on tho aides. Two or more
persons could remain in concealment
thoro without being crowded.
Tho vault is located by tho side ot
tho large old-lashionod chimney. Un
tho iloor adjacent to tlio vault former.
ly stood a largo bookcase, and it is
supposed that through this cnlrnnco
was obtained to tho hiding place, in
dido the vault aro plain evidences of a
former staircaso extending to a small
enclosed space on another side of tho
$180,100,477.01. Mr. Allison stated
that tho total amount for this year at
5rJii,2Ul,US7.13. Tho discrepancy be
tween Mr. Randall's total and that of
Mr. Allison is accounted for by tho
fact that Mr. Allison assumed a furth
er appropriation for tho narv to cover
tho last six mon'.hs of tho current fiscal
year. Adding this amount, which is
nearly $8,000,000, and tho S0G.O0O,
000 unexpended balances of former ap
printions for pensions reappropriated
brings tho grand total appropriated
for tho fiscal year already entered upon
to $250,201,087 as stated by Mr. Alli
son,
and tho courage of men who lovo their country
accepted the verdict of tho fraud and were grand
er to-day In their retirement than the men who
profited by the fraud. Tho democratic party
would bo In power to-day but for republican gold
and notes, notes fresh and uncut from Washington
the money ot the Star routes attesting to the ve
nality ot the republican party. Tho speaker
went on to denounce tho administra
tion ot publJo affairs, glanced over the work of the
Springer committee, pictured tho reforms which
would follow the re-entry ot tho democracy to pow
er and In concluding urged that when the commit
tee on platform reported they have no doubtful
oracle, speaking with doublo tongue upon the
great ls3ucs ot the day, but such a platform that

a sort of a closet. Whether Arnold
used the vault for secreting Tories or
tho patriots, or built It to afford n 10
treat for himself, uo ono knows. That
it should have remained undiscovered
until Mr. Ailing accidentally found it
shows that it was well designed for the
purpose which led to its construction

HIS 1101.1) AND COMMENDABLE SENTIMENT
CONFLICTS WITH FACTS.
From tho New York Sun.
Our esteemed contemporary, tho
JSeening l'ost, in a series of articles
in which candor and acuteness have
kent oven sten. brinirs out verv clearlv
tho tact that Air. Ulaino told nt (inter-
cut times two entirely different stories
about his connection with tho Little
ownership of tho Ltttlo Rook bonds
nnd if our recollection is right this very
statement was subsequently incorpora
ted at his own request into his sworn
testimony buforo tho invcsllgatlhgcom
mltttco ho had no renson to supposo
thnt his own letters to Mr. Wairen
J. Fisher, jr., would uver sec the light
ngain, or that tho memorandum ot Mr.
Fishers bookkeeper, air. Juullignn,
would ovor bo produced for the infor
mation of n committee of congress. Ho
theieforo took high ground. Tho ru
mor that ho whs tho owner of of $150,-
000 or more of theso bonds was absurd.
Ho had bought somo of tho bonds
not a very largo amount pnying mon
ey for them precisely as overy other
investor did, nnd at tho market price.
Had it como to this, he demanded, thnt
nu American citizen was to bo exclud
ed from n perfectly honorablo nnd open
business investment merely becnuso ho
happened to bo n representative in con
gress f Mr. Blaine's indignation wns
ns lofty ns tho sentiment which ho ad
vanced wns virtuous : "Whero conceal
niont is desirable avoidance is advisable."
Yet it w&s destined thnt within six
weeks Mr. Blaino should bo forced to
read in tho house a letter written and
signed by himself showing tho exact
sizo of tho "small amount" of his hold
ings in Littlo Rock nnd Fort Smith
bonds n small amount, ns ho said,
paid for in cash nt tho market price,
nnd magnified by absurd rumor to
something ovor $150,000. On Octo
ber I, 1871, ho wroto to Mr. l'ishcr:
1 have befn treated with positive cruelty In re
gard to tho bonds. I have your poslllvo written
contract to deliver mo 153,00O land bonds nnd Ms,-
500 nrst mortgago bonds, ot this whole amount
of bonds duo mo I havo received but .'o,oco land
grants, leaving JTS.OOO of thoso nnd JOJ.M) nrsl
mortgage ttlll due."
It nppcars that tho "absurd rumor"
ns to the amount wns nbout right. But
if Mr. Blaino hnd paid in cash for his
$lo7,000 of bonds, just liko overy oth
er investor, and nt tlio open market
price, how was it possible for Josiah
Caldwell nnd Warren Fisher, jr., to
defraud him of his rights? How did
it happen that tho Boston capitalists
wero in a position to trent tho innocent
nnd simple-minded legislator with
positivo cruelty 1"
1 ho nnswer is aflorded by tho mem
orandum in Mr. Blaine's handwriting
showing thnt ho did not pay n dollar
for his Jiittlo Kock bonds, but receiv
ed them as .1 gratuity or commission ;
and further light is allorded by Mr.
Blaino himself in 0110 of tho Mulligan
letters :
Mr Drak Mn. FisnEH : Your offer to admit
me ton participation In the new railroad enter
prise Is In every respect as generous as I could ex
pect or desire. I thank you very sincerely for It.
'I do not feel that I shall provo a deadhead In
the enterprise If I onco embark In It. I seo vari
ous channels In which I know I can bo useful.
'Very hastily nnd sincerely your frlond,
James g. Ulunk.
"AfOCBTA, Juno 29, 1869."
Tho maxim which Mr. Blaino laid
down for tho government of his rela
tion with speculative enterprises may
bo slightly improved to lit his caic
"Whero avoidanco would have been
advisable nnd concealment is urgently
necssnry, silence is tho best policy
until the memorandum books havo all
been produced."

Congress will not taj Mr. Hayes' Bill,
Bpeclal dlapatcli to tuo Times.
Washinoton, July 1. An amend
mcnt inserted in tho dcllcienoy bill by
tho Senato and dofeated in tho House
to-day recalls tho stirring times in
Louisiana in 1877, when two Stato
Governments wero fighting for tho con
trol of affairs. Tho amendment ap
propriated three thousand dollars to
reimburso Ex-President Hayes for mon
ey spent by him to pay tho exponses
of tho commissioners who went to
Louisiana to investigate and report
upon tho troubles thero. Hayes paid
tho money out of his own pocket and
has been trying to get it back over
since, by means of a Congressional ap-
salo denial under oath which had been
tho first rcfugo of tho inculpated states-
mon profited them nothing; in the
light ot the subsequent disclosures it
simply added perjury to their load of
shamo.
Mr. Blaine mado tho samo mistake.
in April, layo, when tho repot t was
tirst circulated that Mr. Thomas bcott
had taker, off his hands, for SG4.000,
bonds of tho Littlo Rock and Fort
Smith Railroad Company of tho faco
value of 75,000, Mr. Blaino hastened
to his feet in tho houso of representa
tives with a personal explanation, it
was mado 011 April 24, 1801, and it is
printed on page 2,725 of volume 4,
part 3, of tho Congressional Ilecord.
Mr. lilaino then said
along tho Lititz olko wero uprooted or propriatlon. uepreseniauvo calkins
twisted off. Dauiel Herr'n woods, of made a Btrong appeal for Hayes, though
five acres, has hardly a tree left stand
ing in it, tho trunks being twisted off
several feet from tho ground. Mrs.
Henry Shifsler's barn near Petersburg,
was torn to pieces, and Martin Hess'
born unroofed. Joseph Buckwalter's
barn in Manheim township, was de
molished, his carriages crushed and bis
orchard ruined.
ho did not claim that the beneficiary
was greatly in ueed of tho money. But
Randall put his foot down hard on tho
paragraph, declaring that thero was no
law For making such an appropriation.
It was quite noticcablo that in referring
to Hayes, Randall spoko of him as
Rutherford B. Hayes, and not as Ex
president Hayei.
"The absurd rumor has lately appeared In cer
tain newspapers that I was tbe owner ot from
f 150,030 vo 1250,000 ol ttie IJttlo Uoclc nudlFort
Bmltn railroad bonds which I received without
consideration, and that It was from theso bonds
that Thomas A. Scott received his t"5,000. Tho
statement Is gratuitously and utterly (also.
"The littlo Kock and l'ort smith company re
ceived a grant Irora tho state, Finally,
toward tho close of low, a company ot Boston
gentlemen, representing considerable capital, un
dertook Its construction. In raising tho requite
means they placed the bonds ot the road on the
New England market In tho summer ot lM'J, oner.
Ing them on terms which seemed very favorable
to tho purchaser, and ottering them at a time
when Investments ot this kind wero tutally popu
lar.
In common with UuMrtiU of other jieople In Xeie
Itovlaiui ana other lKtrtt f the country, I bought
tome vj these bonds nut 11 try large atnowU
paying for thnn at precisely the tame rates that
otliers paid.
"I never heard and do not believe that tho Little
Hock Company which I know Is controlled by
honorable men over patted with a bond to any
person except at the regular prlco flied for tho
sale. ' Sly whole connection with tho road
has been open as the day. If thero had been any.
thing to conceal about It, I should never have
touched It. Wherever concealment is desirable
avoidanco Is advisable, and I do not know any but
ter test to apply to tho honor and fairness ot a
business transaction."
After putting this noble sentiment
into tho form of nn apothegm, Mr.
Ultimo summed up his denial :
"Instead ot receiving bonds of the Uttle Hock
and Fort Smith road as a gratuity, I never had
one except at tho regular market price, uud In.
steadot malting a largo fortune out of that com
pany, I have Incurred a sevcro pecuniary loss
from my Investment in Its securities, wnlcu I still
retain. And out o( eucu affairs as this grows the
popular gossip of large fortunes amassed In con
gress!"

In the warm summer weather mr.ny per
sons feel an Irresistible craving for some
thing sour and often gratily this deslro by
free Indulgence in pickles or vegetables
made acid with vinegar. This demand for
acids Indicates a deficiency In tbe acid bc-
cretlons of the stomach, and tho demand
for an artlllcial supply Is a natural one,
but vlnegnr Is not tho best substitute.
Lactic acidity is one of tho chief agents
that gives ncldlty to tho gastric juice of
the stomach in health. This Is the acid of
sour milk, and therefore one of tho best
summer diet drinks that we can use Is but
termilk. It satisfies the cravings for acids
by giving to the stomach a natural supply,
and at tho same time furnishes In Its
cheesy matter n good supply of wholcsorao
nutrition. A man will euduro fatigue in
hot weather better on buttermilk than on
any other diet drink he can use.
