Tbo other gentlemen, who had brought to my support the important journals mentioned, replied u Ibo same manner as did Curtis. None of Hum wished any ofllcwl recognition, holding that a higher duty to tbo couu try mado it desirable tbat they should not bo fettered by Ibo obligations ol ofllce. They wished, bow over, to be considered as the warmest friends of my Administration in the" direction of re form ; aud I assured them that their interest was very graliryiug, and their wishes when (xpiuscd would certainly havo great weight, "Tbo thing tbat most impressed me in these interviews was that iu no way did tbcfo Independents oiuco any deslro to tlipulato for place. I would gladly havo tendered Mr. Curtis an important foreign appointment it Is believed tliel'reciilt-ut meant the mission to the court of SI. JuniebV, but my iulimatiou to that effect was ma by hini with so much firm, courteous determina tion to adhero to his views that f said no moro. Mr. Schniz positively declined to tnfco office.nnd Mr. Jones o I the Times nnd Mr. James Gordon Ucunetl expressed themselves in tbo same manner. "Whtu tbo matter of Mr. Pearson's reappointment camo up for considera tion, I, through nsrsonal friends, invited Bomo ixpression of opinion from the gentlemen alluded to. It was unani mous in favor of Mr. Parson's coullnu nnce iu office. I had stid early iu tbo cauyass tbat laitbful, unpartlsau dis charged of duty was incumbent upon all officials. This Mr. Pearson bad especially emphasized in bis course during the Presidential contost. His opponents were many and formidable. Some of tbe Republican leaders parti cularly wished to see bim dishonorably discharged, bacausa be refused, iu the beat of the canvass, to permit Ibo Post Ofllco to be made a political maobiue. I stated these views to tbo members ot my Cabinet who are from New York, aud they iulty agreed with we iu the pro priety of renominating Mr. Pearson. It is a matter in which New York, as it city, is more interested than any other part ot tbo country can be. I believe mo goon sense or tlio whole country will approve my conse. llut I know I am right, and there I roeau to staud or fail." Tna correspondent of the Loudon Time, writing from the advance post of the British army in the Soudan, says: "The Arabs seem to bo more like wild beasts than human beings. Even women aud children fight in their rauks,aud when our men sought to afford nid Iq some of the enemy who could not walk the latter crawled towaid them with their spears between their teeth, striving oven yet to slay a Kaffir. These traits somewhat diminish tbe sympathy wbich we should otherwise feel for such brave autagonlsts. Were their ferocity shown in the heat of battle it would be excusa. ble, hut these wretahos hours after wero animated by a fiendish desire to injure those who sought to relieve their suffer ings. Even tbe nobler auimals havo some idea of gratitude, end Arabs must henceforth be regarded in tbo light of the most savage of the worst description Of bcasU of prey. Tbo fact is tbey'nre maddened into brutality by fanaticism.'' A cADELanAii says, there is general complaint among the merobants aud manufacturers of Ilirnilngbam, England, over tbo loss to English trade, wbich they allego has resulted from the waut of energy displayed by tbe Urliiah Gov eminent In protecting British interests affected ty tbo French dtrputo with China. It is asserted that the govern menl's failure to resist tho I'renob de claration against lead as a contraband of war and Us toleration of tbe French ar rest of tbe British merchant ship Glen roj in Chluese water and seizure of its cargo, of lead bave resulted in tbe trans fer of an enormoni ammunition business for China from England to the Jniled Stales a.ud Germany.

About three times a week he appears between mid. night and 1 o'clock a. in., aud covers one Of tbe tables in tbe men's cafe with a more or less gorgeous table-cloth, geucr ally mad of some fancy shawl of Eastern manufacture. On this he orders spread a little aupper for two or three, and a p. jietra to take delight lu tbe sensation caused when a newcomer first sees tho startling cloth.

Washington, April 1, 18S5. For a great -many years it has been the custom nf the Attorney-General toenlrutl Iho entire charge of cases coining before tin Supreme Court of the United States to the Solicitor General. This was contemplated when tho office of Solicitor General was flrstcstab)lihed,aml in tho past Ibe inenm bcnls or tbat position bavo spent niosl of their time In protcitlng Ibe interests of llic Government' there. Attorney-General Gar land, however, takes a somewhat different view of tbo matter. Instead d allowing tlio Solicitor tfencral to conduct the eases, be has leguls'rly appeared In- person and mado llio'nrguments, A cuiious incident happened the other day, Soliei lor General Phillips came out of the Department of Jus tice, entered a liandsoinolr furnished car riage, and was driven in stale Io tho dpi Jul. In a moment Attorney-General Gar land camo down stairs.' He smiled and drew on old slouch bat down oyer bis eyes as he looked up the street. Presently a herilic coach camo along. The Attorney General puckered up bis moulh and jave a shrill whistle. Tho coach slopped and the Attorney General outoreil anil paid hi five cent tare like any common passenger, and was driven to join the Solici tor General. There is not much doubt Ihat both Secro Isrv Lamar and Atloruev General Garland are slncero in their desiro to save a little money to the Government. Thev would rollicr wulli than rldo any time, and really believe that all Government oflicials should emulate In this regard. Tho Cabinet Isn't a unit on this question. Nobody has heard yet that Mr. liayard has dispensed with his carnage anu probably nolwJy will. The people at large fiud no fault with the idea tbnt Cubiuet Ministers should bo furnished with eairiaecs at the Government' rx pensc. It Is only right and proper that they should hare them, for it saves many limes their cosl in limo every year. Hib noi uic use ouiuic suuso ol the eyslem that has brought it Into prominence as a public scandal. When a buteau ofliecr deliberate ly turns oyer his carriage for the sole uo of nispnvato lamily, oml when rowaofsuen turnouts could boeecn In front of the illy goods stores on Pennsylvania ayooui', any pleasant afternoon, as'has beeu the case In tho writor's knowledge, then it was time to call a halt. Mr. Lamar and Mr-Garland will not save much to the Goyernment by thesaloofthe horses and carriages belong ing to their departments, but it 'will baa good warning to some officials who are slill in office, Hint sooner or later an abufo will meet with tho public rebuke which it de Eorvcs. iiuiwiumanaing ino laci mat society is supposed lo ho In sackcloth and ashes, "tho Lenten teaton is parsing Willi considerable gayety.

New Orleans, Maroh 27, 1883. No men should derive greater benefit from personal study of this exhibition, than tho agricultural class. Prnb.ibly as much as two-thirds of tbe machinery exhibit including implements, are di rectly devoted to tbe various operations of tbe farm, saying nothing of tbo many useful helps lor the house-keeper und her work. There are great blocks of space occupied wholly with plows, cultivators, planters, reapers, threshers and farm mills, shelters, grinders and feed prepir ators, all more or less useful in tho mul tiform labors of tbo farm. There is n recently patented potato planter, which takes tho entire tuber, cuts it into suit able Bizss and plants eight acres per day, dropping and coverlug tho seeds, with out any other nid Ibau n horse nud hii drlyer, and its iuventor claims that it will mora than repay itt.cost in one season's saving of time nud labor,- and of corn and wheat machinery there is so much and such variety as would seem to almost make tho labor of tbe husband man a luxury instead of drudcerv. In tbe patent office exhibit, taken lu comparison with the more modern do vioCS exhibited outside,, one can see tbe wondeiful strides that bavo been made, nut only In tho improved farm, but in all other cusses PI machinery. There is seen the original model of tbe reaniuL' machine, quaint and odd in construction appearauce, but which Uuu!ly rtvolu- tluulzed wheat culture, nnd without wbich it would seem impossible now to supnly.tbe world with bread. Hera alia tho cutlou planter may seo Ibe model of me original cotton giu, which led to the development of this great iudiutry, aud is believed by some people, curious iu kUcb speculations, to bavo exercised no little influence in sbapiog political and eooiul questions, affecting tbe counlry. Thu original gin was patented by Eli Whitney, Maroh H, 1791, nearly a cen tury ago, and was the iuveutiou of LU leisure hours vbilo engaged as school teacher iu the South, Compared with tbe many improvements now exhibited in ius of the present day, it is much iu the o.iteiiory as the old wooden mould biard if nutlrjillly. But, if there bad bten no Whiluey, there would have- been no Pralt, with bis rapid manipulator, as without u Robert Fulton Willi hii alow, awkward boat, tlieio would have been uo palaco steamers, plowing river, lake, nnd ocean.

The Stales are vieiug with eaoh athor not only iu the extent and mncnitlcence of exhibit, but otherwise attracting pub lic attention to their respective merits. Hon. Robert W.

It would not lis fair to omit some men tion, in this conneotion or the exhibits of various kinds in the interest of tbe house-keeper,, for she bos by no menus been foruottcu "by tho iuventor. There are churns very cheap, which reduce the labor of biiltcr-maklug to a mailer of a few minutes, not exceeding ten: narers wbich take the "hide'' off an apple, or potato quicker than you can fny "Jack liobluson,"aud remove tho core from the rormer, leaving Ibe apple whole for bak ing; irons, which 'dress'up tbo washed clothes without beating;" cheap nnd small refrigerators that can be used on the tablo, ns well as I irgc-r ones; bandy little bath cabiDcts, which oan bo moved into any room, nnd overy house should bavo one; there nro lightning noodl threaders for blind people, or ulbcrM,nuu a thousand nud one tbinr.s to lessu the labor of hous9-Ueeping wbioh overy wo uiau would npprediilo-n little outlay now nnd then can double tbe conveni ences nnd comforts of any bomo.

OUR HARRISBURG LETTER. Special lo tboCXunw Advocate. Hinm.nmtu, Pa., April 7, '85, Tho first of April, Good FriiUy and Easter nro nil past and as a matter o' conrso tbe Senators nnd Members who were bemo have nil returned nnd arc ready for work. So many of them had been at home last week tbat both Housfs were almost left without a (iuoruni;mnny bills were therefore of necessity laid aside for somo time. Some bills were called, up discussed and laid aside, oth ers wero passed without calling them up ut all, and so Ibo limo. was killed until Thursday afleruoon, wheu they' ad journed over until Monday evening. A good number were seen stealing off to Puilsdelpbia lifter adjournment to sec Sullivan slug the Pittsburger, but Ibey were badly disappointed when thej beard that tbo law' hid knocked them both ont tbe'flrot round, from there tbey wandered eff to their respective homes und did nut turn up here until Mondby uigbl. Tuesday is always tho best ciav of the week for work. Tho members come from their homes refrtsbed by tbe few days of rekt, tbey cet dqwu to their desks, leap over tbe Journal aud seem to bo busy.tbey would cettaiuly make their constituents believo, if one of them shoald drop in on them, who is not ao- customed to Bee them in session, that they are doing about as much ns tbey are ablu to staud. I ask pardon, I forget that I nm to tell you what they nre do lug and not what they nnke us believe they aro doing. List week the Governor appointed Dr. Higbee to hucceed himself as State Sup erinleudeut of Public Instructions. Ev ory one seemed to be satisfied nod nil conceded tuat his confirmation would take pises this week, but siuoe his np pointmeut has been made known up lo the preceut time tbe Democrats bays been busy opposing him. Tbey have drummed up tbe Democratic Senators fo that tbey will have n bard time to get the doctor coufirmed. If all tbe Democrats oppose bim be cauuot be coufirmed, as the required two-thirds can not be oh tained in tbe Republican ranks. When tbe Senate went into executive session to-day they confirmed all nominations psuding for Notaries Pablio. Then tb Democrats wanted to consider au, other pending nominations, but tbo Itepubll- cms objected to this as they discoverid a disposition on the part of 6ome Sena tors to oppose Prof. Higbee. Mr.Hunies said be was opposed to Mr. Higboe'n nomination and when the time came he would object to his confirmation. There was a bill Introduced some time ago wbich has passed first and. second reading and is now ready for tbltd read ing. It is the net to regnlate the prac tice of Pharmacy. I board an employee at tbe Hill bay the olhsr day tbat this was q famous bill. By tbat I suppose be meaus that a good sum of money is back of it trying to push it through. I can not tell what, it intends to regulate about tbe pharmacy business, but this I do know, that tbe druggists are banded to getber trying to put the bill through Tho aot autboilzing school directors and controller to purchase school books out of the dialrlots funds was dually paestd in the Honso, An act lo make it a mb demeauor for any member of n partner ship oompany to keep fraudulent ao cortuts, or destroy or mutilate tbe hooks of tba partnership comhany also passed finally, Tbe largest day's work done (bis eta- slon wai done tn-dny. ten bllli were passed flually in the House and a num ber of others passed second reading. Tlio parties interculed in Ibe llulllt Bill are still bard at work. So nro tbo un derground wire men, tbey have by no means nettle'd the question vet. On Monday evening in tbe House a resolu tion wai read Irom the cltlzeus of Penn sylvania -who are now at New Orleans, asking that an appropriation be made for tbe maintaining of the exhibits. Tbe Grangers havo sent to tbo House a pe tition favoring ibo anll-iliscrlmtuatlon bill, wbioh refers to railroad oompanies who cbargo mora for short distance than for long. They also want tbo taxes of tbe State equalized. The Bogus Butter bill was up last week, vau discussed nt some length nnd laid aside. This bill provides a penalty of $500 or one year's imprisonment to any person who mami' factures, maintains or exposes for Bale any.oleoinargeriuo or buKcrine. This is pretty hard on the immltatlon butler men. It is not known whether they are making a fight hut it is believed that tboy are working quietly and will show tbo other parties that tboy have not tho walkover they supposed tbey had. ! - ! -I. The Business Rivalry at Wilkesbarre Leads to a Probable Homicide Henry Taylor, dealer in second handed lurnilure, was shot and seriously wounded in front of his storo on North Main Street Wilkesbarre, about 0 o'clock Wednesday morning, by William II. Carroll, a riyal dealer. The trouble which led lo the shooting has been brewing for some lime. The two men occupied adjacent stores and rivalry sprang up belwecu them early In January. Taylor succeeded in obtaining the loeso of Carrol's etoro by offering more rent. Carrol was much incensed, nnd when April 1st came, refused to move. A writ of ejectment was obtained, and Wednesday Carroll's goods wcro put out on tho street. As Taylor was standing in bis store door woy,Cairoll walked up nnd, without a word, drew a pistol and shot Taylor in the left breast two inches below the heart. He then deliyorcd himself up to the police. At the bearing same evening Dr. Howell the attending physician, testified that tho resnlt of tho wound was very doubtful, nnd Carroll was committed to jail. Taylor is an Englishman, 35 years old, and Carroll an Irishman about. Gfty. He was formerly for many years a miner and a loader among the people of his class, lie was ono of tho originators aud directors of the great strike of 1S77, and was always regaided as a prominent "Molly Maguiro' though nothing certain is known about this. He is a man of good education nud groat intelligence. At n hearing In tho evening before the Mayor, Carroll was committed to prison to await the result of Taylor's wound. The bullet has been oxlracted. Taylor is now resting easy, and thcro are hopes of his recovery. A Stago-struck Trio. Society circlrs In Wllkesborre wero greatly agitated Wednesday by tho disap apoaranco of two well known young women and a young man. They aro Miss Delia Schnbert, daughter of Dr. A. F. Scboberl, aged about 22 ; Miss Gertude Blackman, daughter of E. S. Blackmail, aged 19, and Morris Dougherty, son 'of Charles Dough erly, aged 20. They left hero on tho noon train for Binghamlon, N. Y., and it is believe.! thoy havogono to join the Stand ard Opera Company, now playing at that place, as they were accompanied by Mr. Dully ono ol the managers of the company. All thrcn took prominent parts in the opera renaered at Wilsosbarro last Summer by local talent, and since then hayo been stage struck. Mr. lllackmnn and C. Hon Dougherty, brother of Morris, started the eatno night for lliDghnmlon.'and will bring tho two younger ones .back. Miss Scbo berl, being of age, is, of course, free from the control of her parcntso says a Wilkes barro despatch, Lock-Ontat Beavsr Meadow. Wednesday at noon the breaker hands employed at the Ileayer Meadow colliery ol Coxe .1" Bros., met in a body and asked for an advance In Iheir wages. They were In formed by tho superintendent that Mr, Coxe, who was. then at Drlflon, would be notified. The bands thon concluded tore turn and work the balance of tbe day. In (he meantime a telephone communication was received from Drlflon ordering tho works to shut down Immediately. About three hundred men aud boys aro thrown idle. llatleton lVain Sptakcr.

John O'Mally, an eight year old boy who was testifying in the Criminal Court ol Pittsburg during his mother's trial for larceny, was found lo have a burglar's knlfo a foot long concealed about hini. William Lockwood, of Chester county, who Is well-known In railroad circles. evicted Samuel Kairiecatber from a toll house near Glenlock last week, and Fair- weather has got out a warrant for bis arrest lor forcible entry and detainer.

Judge Ewiug's decision against company store will piobably cause more suits against them in yarious parts of tbe Stale. Ibe extent of their extortion appears from an anecdote told by Thomas Armstrong of tbe Pittsburg Labor Tribune- A miner from near Moneogabela City went to Pittsburg with a $10 bill in. hii pocket, paid his fare both ways, bought as many goods as be could have bought at the company storo for f 10 and went back with $1 50 in hit pocKet.
