DETECTIVES.
Somo timo after the execution of
Mrs. Surrat President Johnson sent for
me and requested mo to uive mv ver
eion of Mrs. Surratt's connection with
tho assassination of President Lincoln
I did so, and I believe lie was thor
oughly convinced of tho innocence of
Mrs. Surrntt. He assured me he sin
ccrely regretted that hu had not given
Mrs. Surrat t the benefit of Executive
cleraeuoy, and strongly expressed his
detestation of what ho termed the "in
famous conduct of Stanton" in keep-
; e i -... T
mg luesu jams irom mm. i aserieu
my unchangeable friendship for Mr.
Stanton under all circumstances, and
while I regretted tho coureo adopted
by the (secretary of War towards Mrs.
Snrratt, 1 would never hesitate to per
form any act of kindness for him
President Johnson commended mo for
my devotion to friends, and the sub
ject of i ho assassination was never af
terwards discussed between him and
myself. The great War Secretaty of
the union was no longer in power, lie
was a plain citizen of our Republic,
broken in health and tottering between
life and death.
The Republican leaders had, after
much phailiug, induced President
Grant to name Mr. Sjrttitnn for judge
of tho Supremo Court. The Senate
promptly confirmed tho nomination
but Grant, for some reason best known
to himself, did not put his signature to
tho commission, or if he did sign
the commission ho did not forward it
to Mr. Stanton. It was at this time
th" latter sent for me, and I called at
his residence on K Street. When
ushered into his piescnce I was stai lied
at his woo-hegono and wretched ap
pearance. Ho inquired if 1 knew the
reason why that man (moaning rresi
dent Grant) withheld his commission
I told him. Then wo drifted in our
talk to tho executions hciciii referred
to, and ho rebuked me for not making
greater effort to savo tho woman that
was hanged, llo said lie would hava
trusted his life in my keeping; that I
would have saved him the torinenis of
hell If I had been more persistent in

call on President Johnson to plead for

met by L. O. Raker at tho entrance of
tho 1 loidents house, and isaner pro
duced uu order over his (Stanton's Big

not be p minted to enter the building

Too true," ho responded, "and tho

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.)
Wasiiinoto.v, Mar. 10, 1885.
The situation in Washington is In-
cresting, and even sin prising. It is
lain that in tho tirtsidential chair,
around it, or behind, there is a mind
and n will. I will not. say that certain
fierv reformers are hnmiv in tho reali
zation of their impatient hope. And i
it must bu said that those in need of I
reformation, have t'iketi nuw heart mid
holdi bullet nil wait with patience, and
prayer, and they will, I think, sen the
glory of tho new dispensation reveah d,
with tho exultation ot tho right men,
and principles with the confusion of
thieves, and money changers who havo
so long preyed upon the substance) of
llw country. i
There Is an old latin maxim, Jestma
lente, hasten slowly, and this seems to
be the result of thu now administra
tion. Reform was very properly be-.
gun at the Whito House. Fourcletks'
swept from otlico with one swoop of
the new broom. iuvo thousand dol
lars per year, and luncli disk room
saved. The example was taken up in ,
the Treasury Department where Sec
retary Manning has discharged forty ,
useless employes liom one buieau.
secretary Jiin.ir has first applied
his broom to tho stables adjoining the
Interior Department, ror years ot
R"publioan ascendancy carriages and
horses hnvo been kept at extravagant
expense in all the Departments, and
have been used not for the publio ser
vice, but for tiio convenience of the
families of public officials. 1 lie lino
equipago that, ha? beon used to convey
ladies to receptions Una at night, has
been ordered to bo sold and tho seven
persons who have been carried on tho
pay roll as drivers will no longer nave
even tho semblanco of a right to draw
their unearned pay. Of course this
is only a beginning. In all tho Do
partmcnts, and in all the bureaus, and
subordinate olliccs supeitluous chrks
aro stumbling over one another. Turn
tho loafers out and then it will bo eas
ier to find the rascals. Twenty thous
and employes can bu discharged n'lth
result of positive improvement, and ex
pedition in uovcrnment work, uet
your littlu pencil and multiply 20,000
by gloOO, and you will have an idea,
but not a full one, of the amount that
will be saved; for vou have not taken
into acconnt tho office room, and fur
niture of this vast armv.
It is nut necessary to say that there
is much uneasiness, and alarm in all
tho depigments. Tho reduction of
tho clerical force is an unexpected
flank movement, and it has set thou
sands of clerks quaking in their luxur
ious sinecures, "l orn tho loaters out
is a new and terrifying sound.
there aro many straws indicative ot
a new era. An order has been issued
to all tho employes in tho Patent Of
fice that there shall bo no more read
ing or talking during office hours, and
that those behind with their work
must work after office hours until it is
brought up to date. Tho Patent Of
ficii has been conducted in a lax and
slatternly way. In somo classes of in
vention, as textiles, harvesters, print
ing, stoves and furnaces, household
furniture, builders, hardware, suigery,
etc., iho Patent Office Examiners are
from three to twi lve months behind
with their woik, and applicants for
patent have frequently to wait six
months or a vear before their oasis aro
taken up. Tho recent order indicates
that tho new administration will intio
duce a new1 order of things, net only in
the Patent Office, but in other branch
es of the publio service.
The rush of office seekers has abated,
and the new administration has moie
time to address itself to work. It is a
fact mueh commented on here that
very few office seekers have cotae from
the South, and that many havo come
from the Northern and Noithwestern
republican states. Since tho Presi
dent has announced that he will not
hear applicants for office personally,
but will reter all applications to the
proper cabinet officers, he has been but
little tioubled. There will doubless ho
important changes made, but policy
and good business management would
require that they should not be made
until after the most careful delibeia
tion, and a thorough study of thu
needs, and abuses of the service. Am
person acquainted with affairs will
know that the work will bo all ihe bel
ter done for tho caution that piecedea
its inception.

THE IMtHSIIlENTS SISTMl AS A TUACllEn
IN" A TOWN IS INDIANA.
From the Lafayetto Sunday Times.
The President's sister. Miss Rse E.
Cleveland, the mistress of tho White
House, wns a ret-ident of Lafayette a
few years ago and engaged as a teach
er of the higher classes in Professor
Allen s Institute, which was carried on
in thu building now known as the
Stockton House. For several months
of her nsiilene.o in ih'n city she was a
member of the family of Mr, and Mrs,
II W. Chase. They inform us that
although quite young, she had taught
for a year in the Houghton female
seminary, where slio received tier edu
cation, at Clinton, near Utica, N. Y.,
and that her ability as a teacher had
given her such a reputation as to at
tract the attention of Professor Allen.
In tho home of her friends here sho
was bright, genial and often full of
girlish mirth, but decreet and lady
like. She was a thoroughly cotupe
tent, earnest faithful and successful
teacher, and tho conspicuous trails of
her character aro strong common
sense, discretion and firmness. A wo
mail of superior talents, cultivated and
refined, self-possessed, of a kindly d'.s
position, pleasing manners and address,
excellent conversational powers and
tuorougniy tonversant with the cus
toms and usages of the best society,
sho will be a charming mistress of the.
Executive Mansion and a model for
her intelligent uouiitrywomen.
The Senato on Wednesday passed
thu senatorial apportionment bill, which
pretends to bo based on the vot for
Gai field of 1880, and which republicans
claim will givo thirty-one lepublican
and nineteen democratic! districts, when
in reality it cannot possibly givo mnro
than eighteen democralio and possibly
not that many districts. If tho senate
propose to mako tho apportionment in
proportion to tho vote, east in IHHOthey
A'oiild uvdui it appear that Gm field re
ceived 300,000 maj irity over Hancock.
The maj irity was less than 40,000, If
tho republican senate allow less than
twenty democratic districts they aro
unjustly depriving a great number of
our people from representation. Somo
districts would havo populations of
rnoro than one hundred thousand, while
otheis would not have half that num

Business men in Boston and vi
cinity who handle largo quantities of
subsidiary silver coin are consideiably
disturbed by the occasional detection
of "genuine"' counterfeit half dollars,
which, it is judged, must be in very
extensive circulation. They call them
"genuine counterfeits," beeauso when
properly coined they are-identical in
size, weight and composition with
those from tho government mints. It
is only by means of an occasional flaw
in coining that ono of them is detected,
and is therefore impossible to estimate
the quantity ot them m circulation
Counterfeiting of this sort is exceed
ingly profitable when done on a largo
scale, as detection js practicably im
possible if ordinary piecautions aro ta
ken. It is not ntallsnrprisingthat "crooks"
who havo reoently stooped so low ns to
counterfeit pennies, should make this
a branch of their work. 1 ho bullion
value of one dollar in subsidiary silver
coin is only 77 cents and thoi.'3pr
cent, margin ot protit makes quito an
inducement lo tho counterfeit rs. It is
believed that most of the metal used is
from re-melted trade dollars. By the
purcln.se of these in large quantities
the counterfeiters obtain the met'il al
ready mixed fit just the samons standard
alloy. To illustrate tho profit in the
operation, 100 trade dollars purchased
for SHI, tho present market price, wil
yield 217 standard half dollars, n profit
of $21.50, less tho small cost of redlin
ing. The secret service ofiictrs here
havo no clue to while this woik is ho
ing done. It is believed, however,
that an important comhiuutiori of
crooks, have undei taken n whohsnle
venture in high-grade coin counterfeit
ing. It will take the clovcrest dcttct
ive work to root them out.

when writing to timothy he addresses
him as 'my chiM Timothy' always. In
all his letters to the different churches
he usi;s nlways the expression, 'my
brethren,' which is not found, ho far as
I know, in our Bibles of to-day. I Hi

people In this town who mljlit ho seen on
tho comers, or from their placo of business
with smoked glass In hmiil. The previous
announcement hy nil p.tpcrs, and tho exact
ncss of thu time- of tho eo!lp-c, proh.ily was
the Ciiuae of such a general observance of
It. Frequent expressions wero miide ns to
how exact the astronomers were In forlell
lug. The Now York Sun In speaking of It
thus S!l)9 I
The most Interesting feature of tho celt
pseoftho sun to those who wero armed
with good telescopes was tho nppoariuieo
Iu protllo of the gnat mountain ranges on
tho eastern edge of Iho moon's dink. Tltero
nro several places In tho eastern liemls
phere of Iho moon where n powcitul glass
will ulvvuys show the serrated horizon Hue
of the peaks end craters that llo clo9u to
thu moon's eilgo ; hut when theso sumo
mountains aro seen, ns they were then
with their outlines showing absolutely
black against tho whlto sun, their uppear
mice Is mueh moro striking th in usual. At
moments when the nlr wns steady, permit
ting the use of a hlijh magnifying power,
It was it grand sight to seu Ihe profiles of
the giguitlc ranges of the DWlcmbcrl nnd
Hook Mountains, and the Lun.iv Cordilleras
pictured with sharpest nutlhiu ng.tlust this
brilliant b i ckgrouiid. Tho whole forward
edge of the moon wns suen to ho deeply
notched and lined with slmip peaks, pre
senting tho striking contrast to tho perfect
ly even curvo of tho sun's edges. Even
with n small magnifying power the outlines
of the principal mountains could ha clearly
sacn. In one placo n broad dish shaped
valley was conspicuous, with a rldgn of
mountains ou either side nnd a lofty peak
hi tho centre, whoso sharp conical form
stood nut from n blaze of sunlight behind
it with beautiful distinctness. Here nnd
there the edge of the moon appeared llat
tencd nnd sometimes scalloped out, show
ing the presence of broad deep valleys sunk
far below tho general level.
The largo mountain masses presented n
particularly impressive spectacle just ns
they entered upon tho sun s edge, pcuk
after peak slowly moving Into view, while
the light streaming through the Interven
ing valleys brought them into still greater
promlncucc. Somo of tho mountains In
this part of the moon rise to a height of 20
000 feet, and there nro valleys among them
which In some cases appear to sink iu an
nlmost equal depth below tho lunar surface.
It is no matter for wonder, therefore, that
this rugged region presented a grand ap
pearance when cut out, as It were, in blacK
cst silhouette against the sun.
There was a group of sun spots a little
west of the center of the sun, and the grad
ual concealcment of tho spots as Iho moon
ndvnnced over thorn, followed by their re
appearance as It passed off, was an inter
esting fc-uture of the telescopic observation
of thu eclipse.

The Local Institute, at Blmmautown,
Iienvcr township, convened promptly nt 10
o'clock a. nt., Saturday morning March 14.
Notwithstanding the fact that this wns the
flist Institute held in our district for n
number of years, tho people evidently
manifested much Interest In the subject uf
education.
The house was quite well filled, the par
ents accompanying the little ones, eager to
hear them perform their parts In thu pro
gramme of the day.
Five of tho seven teachers in the district
wero present, although but tew of tho pat
rons of the Scotch Vulley schools honored
us with their presence.
Thu Institute opened with thu usual de
votional exercises. After n few words of
welcome front Supt. Gilmes, tho pupils,
from the schools ot Mr. Thco. Ilunuon and
Mr. Geurhurt, entertained the audience
with a variety of work consisting of essays,
recitations, dialogues, etc. Tho efforts of
thu pupils gave great credit to their respec
tive teachers, and proved they were doing
good work. Thu specimens of penmanship
nnd mup-druwlng, prepared by Mr. Gear,
hart's pupils weru highly commendable.
Supt. Grimes then uddressed tho meet
Ing ou tho importance, of tenchiiu history
In our public schools. To arousu an inter,
est in the mluds of the pupils, he says, it Is
important to dwell upon biography und
nnccdotes of noted persons, Instead of his
torical facts. Having thu pupils reproduce,
on slates or tablets, Moiles recited or rend
by tho teacher.
After a few more recitations thu Institute
adjourned until liSO p. ru.
AFTERNOON SE.SIO.N.
Prof. Koetliug of tho Uloomsburg State
Normal School whose fame as an institute
instructor is too well known to require nn
introduction, having arrived on the uoon
train, opened the exercises with nn address
on the Vuluo of a Practical Education. He
says, a farmer must mix brains with tho
manure. He then took up tho subject of
primary rending, comparing the old meth
oil with tho new nnd saying any teacher
compelling a child to study the letters of
tho alphabet upon entering tho schools, Is a
thousand years behind tho times. Tho
subjects of nrilhmetlc, language und spell
Ing were also discussed by him. He snys
throw your spelling-books to tho dogs, and
banish nil text-books ou arithmetic from
the school. room.
Thinking the audience was becoming
weary ho Interested them with somo comi
cal stories in Gentian 'fhe
secretary not being tamillar with the inn
guiigo could not record that on the mlu.
utcs.
Supt. Grimes then spoko about tho nec
essity of u school-room being comfortublo
and attractive, well supplied with maps,
dictionaries, and other good books.
Prof. Knelling sanctioned his remarks
iuhI concluded with a short talk ou morals.
Habits of truthfulness, nnd obedience
should bu encouraged. Compel n child to
do what you tell him.
Tho institute then closed, all feeling they
hsd spent a profltublu and pleasant day,
James Rcilly is fitting out his barber
shop and pool room with a new spring
suit all around. Tho walls nnd ceiling
aro haudromely papered, and Iho wood
work has a new coat of paint. Now
flooring has been laid and everything
looks very fresh about the establish
ment. A ham'soino new sign has been
hung in front of William Knurr's to
bacco tture.

St. Mlmon tho Zealot, some say ho went
to Ejtypt, Cyrene, and Africa, preaching
tho gospel to thu Inhabitants of these re
mote nnd barbarous countries nnd others
add, that after ho had passed through
thoso burning waters, ho look ship, nnd
vlsltcil tho fror.cn regions of tho north,
preaching tho gospel to thu Inhabitants of
the western parts, nnd oven to Hrltnln ;
where having converted grent multitudes
and sustained the greatest hardships and
persecutions, ho wns nt last crucified, nnd
burled in some part of Great Ilritnln, but
tho placo where, is unknown,
St. Judo wns cruelly put to denth by the
Mngl.
St. Mnnliln?, It Is uncertain hy what kind
of denth hu left the regions of mortnllty,
nnd scaled the truth of thu gospel ho had
so nii'lduously preached, with Ids blood,
Donit liens snys i Hu finished Ids course
nt Schastopol, nnd was burled there, near
the temple of tho sun. An niiclunt martyr
ology reports him to havo been seized by
tho Jews, nnd ns a blnsptiemcr to havo
been stoned nnd bchoHdcd. But the Greek
olUces, supported herein by severnl nn
clent brovlnries, tell ns that ho was cruci
fied. St. Mark. His feet wero bound with
cords, and ho wns dragged through tho
streets, nnd over the most c-aggy places to
tho llucelus, a precipice near tho Ben, leav
big him there In n lnucsotnu prison, for
that night but his grent nnd beloved mas
ter nppeiircd to him in a vision, comforting
and encouraging his soul, under tho ruins
of his shattered body. The next morning
early the tragedy began ntresh, for they
dragged hint about In the same cruel nnd
barbarous m inner, till ho cxolred, after
which they burned his mangled body.
St. Luke. As a historian ho was faith
ful In his relations, und elegant In his writ
ings, ns n minister, careful nnd diligent for
the good of souls, as a Clulstaln devout
nnd pious ; and to crown nil the rest, laid
down his life In testimony of tho gospel ho
had both preached und published to tho
