A hail storm passed over portions of "Virginia on Saturday afternoon. Ex-Minister Lowell arrived at Bos ton on Saturday last on his return from England. Postmaster General Vilas on Wed ncsday appointed twenty-two persons as post ollico inspectors, among whom wero two from Pennsylvania. Among tho hills that tho Governor tdgned on Tuesday was that of $62, COO for tho Danvillo Insano Asylum and $100,000 for tho Stato Normal bclioola. Gen. W. II. Davis of Doylcstown Pa. oililnr of Lho Dovlestown ZJcmo- crat, was appointed ' by the President on Tuesday to ho Pension Agent at l'hilailelphia, vico A. Wilson jxorns, suspended. There was a general dismissal in tho troajury department on Wednesday. Fourteen clerks in tho Second Control lcrV oflioo, and eightcon messengers: wero tho victim.

All efforts to nut tho firo out have failod. It is now proposed to flood tho mine. Should this ho dono thero will ho a suspension ot worK tor aooui nine monms. Tho old post-oflico huilding at St Lours collapsed on Sunday morning. About COO hogsheads of 6ugar was stored on tho basement lioor, winon caused tho buildinc to fall. Tho loss is estimated at from $-10,000, to $50, 000. Dr. Cyrus Edson lectured Monday evening oeforo tho American Society of Public Analysis, in Brooklyn, on the lato scoureo of typhoid fever in Ply mouth, Pa. Ho said the pollution of tho mountain streams which supply tho town with water was tho prime cause of the disease. Tho streets were unclean, and disinfectants were un known until tlin maladv mada its an poarance. Such an epidemic could only ho regarded as a national dis grace. Sunday was tho longest day of tho year, tho titno between sunrise and sunset being fifteen hours. This is known as the summer solstice, since for several days both beforo and after very scighb chanpo in tho length of tho days occurs, and tho sun is said to "stand stiU with reference to bis declination, For fifteen days, including Sunday, the sun rose at tho same minute and it set at tho samo minute for four days. Although thero was no cLango in the minute of rising lrom tho 7lh instant, there was a chunco of five minutes in tho timo of setting during tho samo period. Secretary Whitney's predicament in regard to the Dolphin is not the most pleasant that an official could find himself in. Thero is no longer a ques tion about tho vessel being good for nothing. But mostjof tho money was paid for her beforo the Secretary got !. - I .1 ' . 1 . 1 . . 1 iiiiu oiuue, anu ii is lcuruu mat uiu "ontract drrwn up in tho Jiobeson Ohandler-Roach style with the express purpose of covering a swindle, will com pel the acceptance of tho Bhip and tho payment of the full price. Under a Republican administration tho Dolphin would be highly valued as a craft that would stand unlimited repairing, but if Secretary Whitney is compelled to tako her he will bo puzzled to know what to do with her. Jx. Tho Hon. Hugh Mackin, member of tho Legislature from tho bixth xm trict. Philadelphia was surprised when ho received a letter from tho Secretary of tho Committee of St. Francis' Cath- oho Parish, of Cleat field, Clearfiold County, Pa., requesting him to call immediately and tako possession of his house and lot. During the latter days of the session of tho Legislature Sir. Mackin was approached by a friend from Clearfield who intended to let him into a good thing. This consisted of shares in a drawing for the benefit of tho church. Mr. Mackin paid $5 ana tooK uvo tickets. Uno was dis posed of to Mr. George MsGowen another to Mr. George Morgan. Mr. John Donohuo took one, and the last went to Mr. J. McCaffrey, of tho Six teonth District. Mr. Mackin reserved ticket No. -170 for himself, which prov cd to uo tho lucky number. There is a movement to connect Decoration Day with Arbor Day. In this latitude, says the Heading IHmes, as in that of New York, where lho movement originated, the last of May H loo lato for tho suoscssful planting of deciduous trees. But a tree planted on Arbor Day in memory of some fall en soldier could be dedicated on Deco- rJtion Day and lho land would be dot ted all over with living memories of tho patriotic dead. Tho Department Commander of tho Grand Array of the Republic of Now York has issued a circular recomending the practice, and tho State Forestry Association has fur nished every Post with a pamphlet liiiuiiaiiuu uy uiu government giving brief directions as to planting and ouicr matter that will bo helplul and instructive Tho proposition did not come early enough for general adop tion lliH year, but preparation can bo iiiuum iur niiuuicT spring, wuen mo beautiful custom rf commemorative planting can bo established for all time, it would be a good idea to do some thing of this kind in this State. In addition to lho commemorative feature, which alono should commend the pro ject, it would, in an indirect way, help to cull attention to lho advantages of more general attention to forest cult ure A white oak will endure us long ns n shaft of marble; and the living monument will continue to grow in dignity, ami iinprfbHivouess until its ngo is couutcd by centuries. THE BARTII0LDI STATUE- Tho gift of Franco to tho United States arrived on Uio Frencli steamer Isorc, at New York on tho 17th inst. It is a statuo of "Llbsrty enlightening tuo world ', and is tho largest ngnro over made It will stand in Now York Harbor on Bedloo's Island. A grand veccption was given tho Icro on Sat urday, in which thero was tho greatest display of shipping ever witnessed thero. Tho pedestal for the statuo is in courso of erection, and a fund of nearly $80,000 has been raised by tho Now York World by subscriptions lrom all over tho country. A Maniao With a Knife. David Williams, an industrious min er, of Wilkes Barre, -joined tho Salva tion Army about a month ago. Ho atten ded tho meetings regularlyand becamo so infatuated that ho had to quit work. His mind is affected. Tuesday morn ing ho attempted to kill his little grand child, Mamie Jones. He said the Lord told him in the night that if ho wanted to savo sinners ho would have to uiako a sacrifice. An innocent babe would but answer tho purpose. Ho accord ingly went to tho house of his daugh ter and requested to sco little Mamie. When tho child was brought to nun ho requested her to tako a walk witli him. The child, only four years old, accompanied her grandfather to his home. The crazy Salvationist then took her up in the garret and tied her to a table. Ho returned to tho kitchen to get a butcher-knife with which to quarter his grandchild, when her screams attracted tho attontlon of her grandmother, who rushed up stairs and saved the little girl from a horrible death. Williams' plans became frus trated, ho becamo violont, and rushing out in tho street with a big butober knife in his hands, bo mado a plunge at every ono ho met. Men, women and children ran before him as though ho wero a mad dog. Koaching his daugh ter's house ho mado a break for her with his knife and succeeded in inflict ing a severe gash in her arm. The in jured woman mado her escape into a room and locked tho door. The man iac then stabbed a neighbor's boy, who was sitting on tho front sloop. J.uo neighborhood was now greatly excited and four stalwart policemen, arriving on tho scene, succeeded in capturing tho lunatic after much difficulty. Ho is now in jail. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. Wasiiinotok, Juno 22, 1885. An eminent French Statesman when asked how he accomplished such a pro digious amount of work each day, re plied, "by doing ono thing after anoth er, l resident Cleveland seems to uu derstand this art as well as if be wero its inventor. Ho examines all tho pa pers in each and every case that comes beforo him. Ho will act on all the cases only as he reaches them in tho course of his personal examination. It seems as if be had an almost endless job beforo him, but it is his way, and be seems determined to go as bo bos begun. 1 be candidate who depends largely or entirely on verbal recommen dations or lnttuenco ot outside parties will certainly get left. Tho cases large ly depend upon the kind of papers that are filed, and tho President holds re sponsible parties who recommend a man to a strict account. It is to be feared that in the discus sion of appointments to oflico, tho great and silent reform work which tho new administration is carrying on may be overlooked. Though less than four months in office, and laboring under great disadvantages, tho public plunderers are being attacked and rout ed at every point. Stealing of tho pub lic domain has been to a considerable extent stopped, though much remains to bo done. Secretary .Lamar has prov ed the worst enemy the railway land-grabbers have ever met, and ho has had tho earnest support of Gen. Sparks, tho now Land Commissioner. It is safe to say that no more unearned grants will be pat ented to the railroad monopolists, and that as much as possible of tho land al ready stolen in ono way or another will bo recovered and thrown open for settlement. The great Maxwell grant is only ono ot a series enormous frauds which havo been perpetrated through collusion between the claim ants, the territorial land of otliccrs, and tho rings of Department onioials. Thero is every reason to expect that this whole system of plundering' will now bo broken up. Hon. Geo, Jelks who has lust been appointed assistant Secretary of the Interior and given special chargo of all cases for the forfeituro of land grant?, shows that this work is to bo undertaken in no half hearted way. While on tho Judi- ciary Commitloo of the Houso Mr Jelks showed himself to be a thorougl lawyer and his argument beforo the electoral commission was not inferior to tho efforts of tho great lawyers of Na tional reputation Carpenter Black and Merrick who vainly tried to meet con spiraoy with logio in that deplorable crisis. Mr. Whitney lho new Secretary of iuo iiuvy is eienuiiy growing 1U popu larity with good men of all parties Both tho Navy and the country hail Dim as a deliverer lrom tho regime of rings and corruption thai has preyed upon tho country since tho war and left our coasts in a defenseless condi tion. The exposuro of the Dolphin fraud will bo to tho Naval establish ment of as great importance as were tho Star Itouto exposures to tho Post Office department. Tho action of tho Post Master Gen eral regarding tho Pacifio Mail steam ship subsidy is very significant. It will be remembered that tho Republi can majority in tho Senate forced the passage of a bill giving 8100,000 to the Pacifio steamship company for car rvingtho mails. Mr. Vilas duds that thero is no need of paying nioro for carrying ocean mails than is now paid. Since tho act of Congress is notmenda tory but merely gives permission to spond tho money,, The Post Master, will, with tho approval of tho .Presi dent, take no action in tho matter, but remit tho sublect to Corgress for raoro explicit legislation. It is not probable that the Republican agents of the lob by in Uiu Seuntp will bo ablo to again pass the bill and tho sum of $100,000 will bu saved to the tax payer. THE COLUMBIAN AND Alas, Too True I Senator Kennedy of Philadelphia is disgusted and declares his intention lo havo nothing moro to do with oflico or nctivo political work. Ho has unqucs tlonably acted tho part of a faithful Stato Senator during his term just closed. Unforluatelv Ihero is too much causo for high minded men to becoino tired of politics and holding legislative of fice. Thero tvas a time, and wo well remymbcr it, when tho voters mado I heir own selections and generally succeeded in securing Senators and Representatives of tho right stamp. But lho general rulo is now, and for years lias been, tho election of profess ional tricksters and corruptionists. But few men who mean strictly lion- orablo business aio willing to comply with the conditions of election to cither branch of Assembly, which is to make nominations by buying up delegates to nominating conventions and in close ly contested districts to go among voters ot the lowest degrees anu resori to every imaginable way to win them. It is an open secret that a very largo perccntago of our 'Sovereign people," including tho wearers of good clothes ana movers in respeciauio society aro always "on theraako" and ready to bo bought liko pigs and calves in tho market. Wo vonturo to say that fully thirty-two per cent, of all tho Penn sylvania Senators and Representatives spend fully tho amounts of their salar ies to will luuir nuiimuuiuii "iiu elus ion, and "to mako themselves whole they join the band of jobbers and cor ruptionists at tho Stato Capitol, and tho right minded, conscientious and honest ones cannot fail to find them out because they havo oyts and ears as well as common sense. Tho real trouble is with tho homo votors themselves. If publio opinion could bo brought back to a more healthy state, wo would hear but littlo if any moro of tho disgraceful trading and bargaining and buying up among nominating delegates in conventions. The prevailing doctrino of "everything fair in politics'' is infamous and dam nable. Wo firmly believe that tho boliticial fraud and swindler cannot bo anything else than a social and business frdkid and swindler. Tho ono who by any sharp methods will steal a vote, would only refrain from stealing a pocket book because ho fears the nenitentiarv. Tho individual who is capable of telling a barefaco politicial lid is a liar in any other relation to tho community. No honest man can be dis honest in politics. We know men who would bo willing, at tho fair compensation which the law provides, to servo in tho Legislature, and who would truly and faithfully represent tho best interests of tho com munity, out who win not resori to uio methods necessary to assuro success, and theso remain in private life. Tho evils to which wo refer are much raoro serious in tho large cities than in the rural districts. It is a no torious truth that, as a rule, only lho professional beats, corruptionists and barefaced frauds stand any chance to win legis' kivo seats from Philadel phia constituencies, and it is not at all surprising that when a Kennedy coon gets in among tho coteries of Phila delphia skunks ho can't stand tho odor with which tho Legislative atmosphere is impregnated. If only tho solid, in telligent business men would tako hold of primary elections and run them in the interest of public decency, and act the part of independent men hy vot ing solid against offensive nominations, tho evil would soon bo cured. But as long as tho citizens permit tho roosters and dead beats to run the party machin ery, and continue to voto merely as party automatons, bo long will corrupt ion and fraud continue to prevail in tho Legislature. Mauch Chunk Dem ocrat. We heartily endorso tho above. What tho writer says of tho Logisla- turo is unfortunately applicablo to al most every political oiuce. The New Marriage Law. FUl.t.
