CbIi 11 ptiunds. These dispatches worked'Up the pooplc of Washington into a delirium ofoxoitomoiit. Tlie climax of wild hilarity wasreached whon it was told that "Mrs. Clevelandand Dr. Ward lauded abuauty weighing a poundand a half." The fact that this seemed to bo ajoint aflair did not prevent all the glory beingawardod to the fair bride. Nobody cared anything about Dr. Ward or his putativo Bharo inthe achievement.

The brilliant record of tho week lias notonly maintained the high standard of skillwith the rod established by President Arthur,but Mr. Jluyard also feels that it has fully vin-dicated the fisheries policy of the Administra-tion. The Hags on tho State Department andother buildings have been pulled up a fewinches higher thau usual the ast few days.The Goddess of Liberty ou the domo of thoCapitol has been lieeu to wavo her cap oxult-aiitf- y,

Gen.

THE BI'OII.S OF WAK.
Sometime ago Acting Secretary Fairclrild in-
structed Mr. Krites, Chief of tho Division ofAbandoned Property, to carry into ollect thoprovisions of tho act of Congress authorizingthe Secretary of tho Treasury to deliver to thorightful owners cortain articles of jewolryrctc,captured by tho United States army during thocivil war and deposited in tho Treasury De-
partment. Mr. Krites has accordingly pro-pare- d
rules aud regulations which will governtho restoration or all such articles, and has justconcluded nil examination or tho articles ondeposit. They aro contained in two boxes andconsist or silverware, jewelry, watches, por-
traits, otc. Ono or tho boxes contained nearly.WO watches, gold, silver and brass, and a num-ber or jack-knive- s, pocketbooks, letters, etcTheso were mainly taken rrom prisoners of warwho died in hospitals around Washington,Cape Lookout aud Elinira, and were depositedin tho Treasury by Gen. Ketcham. Somo ofthem, however, belonged toUuiou soldiers whodied during the war near the places designated.Tho other box contaiucd a lot of articles cap-
tured bv Gen. Sherman's troops at Camden, S.C, in tho early part of 1663. Thoy consist offamily nlato. iewclrr. etc. which had boon do- -
posited in a bank at Camden by Mr. McKao andother wealthy residents of that section. Aninventory has been made aud it is thought thearticles can bo easily identified by their own-ers. They will be restored upon application,accompanied by satisfactory cvidenco ofown-orshi- p.
Tlio two hoxos roferred to contain alltbo property or tho character described now intho United States Treasury, oxcept possibly thepresentation swords belonging to Gen. Twiggs,aud captured by Gen. Butler in New Orleans.It is an unsettled question as j'et whetherthese swords am bo lestored under tho provis-ions of tho act referred to above. All tho otherarticles mentioned which have not boon re-
stored by April next will bo advertised, audsuch as 6hall still remain in tho Treasury forono year from that time will be sold at publicauction.
TIIK OOVKUKMEIfT ON A VACATON.
Tho President docs not intend lo bo botheredwith any business while absent unless Mr. Bay-ard's bcrap with Mexico shall assume a moroserious aspect or something clso happens to demand attention. Ho has given directions thatbo otlicial mail bhall bo forwarded to him. Anypublic business requiring his immediato con-
sideration will he brought to his attention bythe Cabinet officers. To tho numerous specialcorrespondents who asked to accompany himupon his trip tho President said that ho wassure tbo public did not desire that minutedetails should ho given of all his movementsduring his vacation, as such a course wouldutterly defeat thu object aud purposes of histrip. In recognition, howover, of pardonablocuriosity as to any incident of interest th&tmay take place, ko has himself made arrange-ments whereby asy thing that the public oughtto know couceruiug his movements will bo fur-ubdi-cd
tho agents of the regular press associa-tions.
All tho mcuVbe&sof tho Cabinet are away ox-cept the Secretary f State. Tho doparturo ofthe President lettrcs Mr. Bayard to run thoGovernment, although tho latter has the assist-ance f a larg aud able corps of correspond-eut- s.
Tbo truth is, however, that tho newspa-per men have heeu a great crohe to Mr. Bayard.Between tho fisheries troublo and tho Cuttiugcase they have kept him in hot water formonths. It has boon talked around oflato thathe contemplates retirement to private lire Therumor is given for what it is worth, and thatprobably is not much. Mr. Bayard has bornoup bravely under his domustic bereavements,which havo weighed heavily upon him. Thoannoyances connected with his recent officiallife havo tried him sorely. His faco has a wornand troubled look, and it would not he strangeif lie should desire rest from tho tribulations ofpolitical lifo. In any event ho is not likely toretire until ho gets the Mexican imbroglio offhis hands.
THE AUMY'S SUnaLOX-GEKEUA- L.
In its last issue The National Tiubunenoted that the President had designated Col.J. H. Baxter, Chier Medical Purvoyor or theArmy, to act as Surgeon-Gener- al uutil ho shouldmake a permanent appointment, aud said:"Army officers say Dr. Baxter's designation in-dicates the President's determination to ap-point him."

BMALI. CHANGE WANTED.Demands for minor coin, principally ono,
five and 10-uu- pieces, are constantly beingrccolved at tho Treasury Department from allparts of the country. The supply of thesecoins ou hand is entirely inadequate to meettho calls for them, and it has been found nec-essary to call on the United States mints foran additional supply.

TRI-STAT- E.
Grand Reunion of Veterans at Tort Wayne.Tho tri-Sta- to Veteran Association Reunion
held at Ft. Wayno on tho 111th, 20th, 21st, 22d,23d and 21th insts., was very largely attouded.On tho second day Gcu. Kosccrans was on thogrounds and received aw ovation from tho oldsoldiers, many of whom fought with him dur-ing tho war. On tho 21st thero was a grandparado, which was participated in by tho GrandArmy Posts and tho military companies. Gon.Phil Sheridan passed through Warsaw on tho20th en route to Washington. A committeewas scut out to meet him and extend an invi-tation to him to attend tho Reunion. This hodeclined to do, being compelled to continue hisjourney. Ho made, however, a short speech totho boys, which was greeted with vociferous "applause. Thero was oue ovent, howover,which to some extent marred tho plcasuro oftho occasion, aud that was tho troublo betweenDr. John Youngc, Adjutant-Genera- l of tho as-
sociation, and somo of tho officers connectedtherewith. It seems that tho Doctor was desir-ous of having the Reunion held at Toledo, andvisited that point for that purposo, but he wasoverruled and Ft. Wayno was selected. Thomatter culminated on tho 20th in Adjt.-Gc- n.
Youngo getting out a warrantfor tho arrest of Scott Swann.Tom Sullivan,Secretary, and James Harper, Quartermaster oftho Association ou tho ground of criminallibel. Thero was treat excitement, and tho aofficers woro provontod from serving tho war-an- ts
on tho comrades named. (A more detailedaccount of tho Reunion will appear in nextweek's National Tribune.)

More Folly at Niagara.
On Sunday Wr. J. Kendall, a Boston pollco-ma- u,
accomplished tho feat of safely swimmingtho whirlpool rapids below Niagara Falls. At-tempts iu tho past have cost tho lives of Capt.Webb and other famous swimmers. Kendall isthe first man who over swam through andcamo out alive. Relating his experience hosaid that when ho reached tho spot where CaptWebb is supposed to havo lost his lifo tho waterseemed to go from under him, and a hugo wavostruck him on tho head and shoulders, knock-ing him senseless. Ho found his swimmingabilities of uo uso whatever, and never ex-
pected to como out alivo. When cutering thowhirlpool ho was so benumbed and partly un-conscious that ho could not uso a limb, and didnot know what ho was doiug. Tho currenttook him right into the main eddy, and suckedhim down liko a flash, keeping him underfully 15 seconds. Upon reaching tho under-current ho was shot out of tho pool fully 50foct from its center. When ho roached thesurfaco of tho water ho had partly regainedconsciousness, and, knowing thero was no tiraoto spare beforo ho would bo dashed down to tholower rapids, ho swam to the shore. Whilolanding ho was so overcome that he again bo-ca-
unconscious, and his assistants wcro fullyhalf an hour occupiod in reviving him withthe aid of stimulants and by rubbing. Whonasked if he would ovor make another trip homost emphatically Baid, "No; thoro's notenough moaoy in the world to induce mo to ro--
this afternoon's experienco; a child wouldEoat tho samo ckauco to go through tho rapidsand come out all right as an oxport swimmer."
Now comes Adam Forepangh, jr., nnd saysthat on Sept. 13 ho will havo his famous horseBloudin walk ovor a tight rope stretched rromshore to shore just bolow the falls. Mr. Fore--
paugh says : " The idea is to stretch a two orthreo-iiic- h steel oblo across, either on tho brinkof or a little bolow tho falls. The wire willhavo to be wrapped with cotton cord, so thatBlondiu's rubber shoes will stick to it. Blondinis a Morgan colt, Adam, jr., bought near WestChester, Pa., thrco years ago. Ho was fouryears old last Spring. He is Hi hands high, iscompactly built, and weighs 600 pounds. Adambegan training him at Philadelphia early lastFall to walk the rope. At first the rope wasplaced only two feet from tho ground, but be-
fore tho circus started out ho could do a twoaud 30 feet long and 20 fromtho ground. Ho goes backward as well as for-
ward, aud has never yet had a fall. Ho hasno rear whatever or falling, and I don't thinkthero is any doubt but that ho will go over thofalls all right on a still day. He wears a patentrubber shoo, and is very careful and surefooted.It is easier for a horso to walk a ropo than aman, after ho kuows how, for ho has more legsto balanco himself with. Animals aro notcredited with half the intelligence they pos- -
IIsoss.

In answer to the request or Gov. Pattison, orPennsylvania, as to whether further stops can-
not be taken to recover the bodies of tho menwho perished in tho mine at Nauticoke, thoowners of the colliery, the Susquehanna CoalCompany, say that tho task is impossible, audthey are sustained iu this view by Miuo In-spector Williams. In tho first place, even iftho earth should by a miraclo opeu up and laybaro tho spot whero the men perished, nothingwould bo found but the bones of the unfortu-nate men. Again, any number of men might hoemployed for six months aud still would not boable to find tho bodies.

" No ; but me and Dick killed a wator mocca-sin yistidy."
"You did?""Ah, hah."" Wore you not armid ho would bito you?"41 Ho, ho couldn't bite me. I could git outcn

THE SOLDIERS' ROLL
Of the Houscand How it is Protected
by- - Legislation.
To the Editor: It appears from recent cor-
respondence in the daily press that DoorkeeperDonclson, of tho Houso of Representatives, hasbeen contemplating a raid on tho soldiers' rollin consequence of tho absence of a provision intho legislative bill of tho next fiscal year torelnin or proveut tho romoval of mcssongers'onsaid roll, and honco it is optional with thoDoorkeeper to retain them or uot.
This is a mistake, which can readily bo ascer-tained by a careful reference to the provisionsin prior bills on this subject. Tho provisionincorporated in the legislative appropriation billof tho second session of the 4ath Congress ex-
pressly provides against any iutorferenco withtho soldiers' roll in tho absonco of action bytho House.
It will readily ho seen by a reference to saidprovision that tho phraseology is different fromthat inserted, in any preceding appropriationbill sinco tho organization of tho soldiers' roll.All provisions in preceding legislative appro-priation bills simply provided for tho retentionof messengers ou eaid roll during the availa-bility and cllcct or said bill. In other words,they wcro ouly carried from one hill to thoother. Rut it will bo observed that tho neces-sity or inserting a provision in each succeedingappropriation bill has been obviated by a changoor tho phraseology in tho provision of tho legis-lative bill of tho lSth Congress, to wit: "Andhereafter messengers on thu soldiers' roll shalluot bo removed oxcept for causo reported to andapproved by tho House." Hcrctoforo it read,
not subject to removal, except for cause." Thowords "And hereafter" wero expressly insertedto avoid tho necessity of providing specificallyin every legislative billon this subject. It willnot do to say that the usual provision for a"soldiers' roll" was omitted in tho legislativehill this year.
The Committcoon Appropriations consideredthat tho soldiers' roll was amply provided for intho preceding hill, which is the law on tho sub-ject uutil othcrwiso repealed. Tho Doorkeeperwell understands tho object and purposo of thoHouse in inserting that clauso, "And hereaftershall not bo removed." It was put thoro toprovide for tho future as well to guard against
proutless discussion on every appropriationhill arising ou points of order.
It is true that ono Congress cannot onact alaw or this kind that will ho binding on a sub-sequent Congress, but after an act receives thoapproval of tho President it is then a law untilit is repealed by a subsequent Cougrcss, nud thoprovision referred to in referenco to the sol-diers' roll is a law until otherwise ordained byCongress.
The Doorkeeper or tho Houso is nn executiveofficer, and it is his duty to respect and obeythu law. Ho is not vc3tod with judicial power,and henco cannot pass upon the legality or con-stitutionality of tho provisions incorporated inany appropriation bill, nor cun ho enact or ro-pe- al
a law. Tho fact that it is alleged that 10disabled soldiers on tho roll are Republicanswill not justify him setting asido a provision oflaw.
But what are tho facts in reference to thepolitical status of tho soldiers' roll? It willbo remembered that tho soldiers' roll wasorganized aud inspired by Judge Holman, ofIndiana, aud incorporated in tho executive,legislative and judicial appropriation bill oftbo 41th Cougrcss. first session. Prior to thattinio disabled soldiers' were employed in difler-e- nt
capacities about tho Houso uudertho Door-keeper, and carried on a special list, and pro-vided for by special appropriations, and notuntil tho first session oCtho Congre33 wasit designated the "soldiers' roll." Tho politicalstatus of tho roll is tho samo to-da- y that itwas when organized, with this difference,namely, that seven of the present number wcroappointed by Democratic Members aud sovonby Republican Members, and when organizedfive wero appointed by Democrats nud nine byRepublicans. Tho roll maintained this statusuntil Doorkeeper Polk employed methods ofhis own invention to get rid of them during hisbrief administration in tho 45th Congress.Crutches and empty sleeves soon vanished fromtho doors and corridors of the Capitol, and menwho could not toll the differeuco between amountain howitzer aud a sewing-machin-e weroinducted into places hold by the mutilated vet-erans and paraded the corridors with tho airsof carpet-bagge- rs aad tho impudence of desert-ers.
Eight one-arm- ed and ono-legg- cd soldiers wereremoved from the roll and eight ablo-bodie- d
men assigned to thoir places, many of whomwcro in their swaddling clothes when tho menwhoso places they were assigned to fill werelanguishing in hospitals, wounded aud bleed-ing. But this fact did uot deter Mr. Polk, asit was in accordance with tho fitness of thingsfrom his standpoint. The eight soldiers re-moved woro Republicans, and the Ropublicaus,when thoy regained power in tho 47th Con-gress, reinstated the crippled soldiers, who camohobbling back to their places.
Ono of tho first acts of tho Republican cau-cus was lo pass a resolution olfured by thatfaithful soldiers friond, Gen. Henderson, ofIllinois, to retain tho crippled soldiers on saidroll. After tho orgauization of tho 47th Con-gress, Col. W. P. Browulow removed tho eightable-bodie- d men and appointed in their placestho crippled soldiers whom Mr. Polk had drivenfrom the Capitol thoy gavo their limbs to save,thu3 restoring tho roll to its origiual status,what the law contemplated it to bo, to wit, acrippled aud disabled Uuiou soldiers' roll, 14in number. The word " Uuiou " was inserted,so as to mako tho roll non-partisa- n, becausothero wero no political soldiors iu the war.
Tho only qualification for place on said rollwas to bo a crippled or disabled Union soldierwith an honorable dischargo. So far as wo areable to ascertain no disabled soldier has beendischarged sinco the organization of tho roll,until the present time, ou account of politics,oxcept by Doorkeeper Polk iu tho 45th Congress. Doorkeepers Fitzhugh, Patterson, Field,Wiutcrsmith aud Donolson, have honored thesoldiers' roll, nud thero is no reason why itshould not ho honored in the future
It is not necessary to repeat that Col. Browu-low honored it, as ho had on many occasionscomplimented them for a faithful discharge ofduty, and resisted every pressure aud impor-tunity coming from disappointed outs and
jealous-minde- d ius, aud handed tho roll ovorto his successor composed of 14 crippled anddisabled soldiers five of whom camo over tohim from a Democratic Cougrcss, and tho re-maining nine were Republicans. Strenuousellbrls had been made to induce Mr. Browniowto mako a place ou tho soldiers' roll for a Re-publican soldier who had lost both feet iu thowar. But iu order to do this ho would boobliged to remove a disabled Democratic sol-dier, aud this ho firmly refused to do, by declar-ing that he would nut discharge ono cripplo tomake a place for another. Two vacancies haveoccurred on saidroll since thu 47th Congress;ono occasioned by.the resignation or Cupt. HenryCliffduriug tho lirstsc3siounftho4Sth Congress,and tho other by thedeath of Gon. Staunardduring thu sa-io-u just closed. Both were Re-publicans aud both vacancies were filled bythe appointment) of Republican disabled sol-diers to wit, Fernando Pago, both legs olT,appointed by Doorkeeper James Wiutcrsmith(deceased), on tbo rccommeudatiou of thoMichigau delegation, nud Mr. Wilson, of Illi-nois, who was recently appointed by Door-keeper Donclson, ou ,tho recommendation oftho Illinois delegation, to fill the vacancy occa-siou- ed
bj tho death o; Geu. Staunard, of Ver-mont. This establishes tho uou-parti-- fea-ture of the roll, as Democratic Doorkeepersaud Democratic delegations havo appointedRepublican soldiers to fill vacancies occasionedby the death or lUiiguation of Republican sol-dio- ra
ou said roll, and it also establishes thoTact that as tho roll now stands seven havebeen appointed by Democrats and seven byRepublicans. Tho roll is composed of men ofevery grade iu tho service, from private toGeneral, aud all have suffered misfortunes anddisabilities which are equal iu character. Theyare meu who left politics at home when theywent to the battlctiold, aud stood side by side,not as Republican or Democratic soldiers, hutas Union soldiors. They nover permitted poli-tics to impair their patriotism, nor to disturbthat harmony aud unity of purposo which wasso essential to success in war; aud those whowero deprived of their usefulness for lifo iudefense or thoir country aro entitled to equaland impartial treatment at tho hands of thoGovernment thoy gave so much to save. Therois a warm aud strong bond of sympathy exist-ing between Union soldiers that politics can-not sever, aud a blow at ono is a blow at all.Yeteean.
BEATING THE SHARPERS.Comrades Yfho TTere Too Shrewd for the Banco
Hen.San Francisco Chronicle.
Notwithstanding- - the popular newspaper fic-
tion of sharpers meeting green strangers andgetting hoist by their own petard, tho fact is thatwhen an oxpert confidence man puts his ten-tacles upon a "sucker "something usually comesbefore he lets go. Tho Encampment here hasfurnished a few bona-fid- o exceptions to the rulethat aro worthy of chronicling. The low faresaud the presence of so vast a number of stran-gers have, of courso, drawn a great number ofsharks to San Francisco. This cl;i33 is distinctfrom pickpockets aud thiove3. It is formed ofconfidence operators, pure and simplo, preparedto fleeco the Grand Army of tho Republic atnny thing from bunco to monto. Some of themcomo from Chicago, somo from St. Louis, andthoro are two or thrco faces on tho street thataro familiar to Inspector Byrnes and his detec-tives at New York. Oue of tho metropolitan"outfit" was lamenting his lack of luck to aparty of friends in a Kearny street sportingresort last ovoning.
"Iliad been reading np army history forabout a month," ho said, "and was well postedon tho leading battles. You seo I wanted to boablo to talk to tho vetoraus, but it turned outthat it got mo into a pretty tight fix. I gotacquainted with an old fellow yesterday andfound out that ho had been in the battle ofGettysburg. I wanted to draw him into apoker gamo, and to mako myself solid, andsaid: ' Why, I was in that fight, too.'
" Is that so ?' ho said. ' You aint a G.A.R.man, are you?'
1,4 No,' I answered; 'I don't care to join forprivate rcasous.'
"'So you woro at Gettysburg?' the old fellowwent on. ' What division, now, did yoa belongto?'
"'ToSickles's.'" Yes, yes why, I belonged to that, too.
Whero were you the night after tho first day'3fighting?'
"'I slept in a barn on Culp'3 Hill,' I an-
swered, cautioiuly, for I folt I was getting intodeep water.
"'No!' ho exclaimed. 'What kind of a look-ing barn was it?'
" ' Well,' I said, at random, 'as near as I re-member it was a small, single-stor- y building,with ono sido partly blown out.'
" No ! Was thoro a straw-ric- k in it ? '" ' I don't know,' I said, desperately; Ibeliovo
there was.'"'You don't say so?' ho replied; 'and the
manger busted?'"Yes; I think so.'" ' Was thero another fellow in there with
you?''I think thoro was,' I said, liko a blame
fool, not knowing what wa3 coming."You scoundrel, you!' yelled tho old man,
' that was mo ! Give me back my wallet I '"Whatwallot?'" O; you know well enough ! Tho blastod
thief that slept with me that night stole mywallet and $200 in greenbacks. I've boon look-ing for him now for 25 years. I thought Iknowed you when you come up!
"It took mo somo of tho hardest talking Iover did in my lifo to get rid of him. I don'twant any moro Grand Army in mine."
Another story is told in tho Oregon head-quarters. It seems that a couplo of smooth-tongued gentry fastened on to ono of the vet-oraus, and proposed to go out and see tho town.Ho agreed, but beforo starting ho excused him-self u. minute, and stated on coming back thathe had left his money with a friend for safekeeping, and only taken along a few dollars.Thoy told him it wa3 all right if he knewwhere he could find his friend when ho wantedhim. Ho said ho did, aud the party startedout. Tho two confidonco men spout about $10apieco entertaining tho victim, and then pro-posed that ho look up his friond, get his cuh,and play poker.
"1 can't get it from him said theveteran.
" Why, I thought yoa knew whero to findhim," protested ono of tho sharps.
" So I do," said tho veteran, " but it happenshe's tho same friend on wboso account I'mwearing this badge. I mean Uncle Sam. Yoasee, for precaution, I put my money in anonvelopo beforo I started, addressing it t my-solf.a- nd

" It isn't becauso it's a vile habit that iagoing to carry me down to an early grave, oranything of that sort. Ono placed mo, or rathera young lady, in a very embarrassing position.Thoro is a cortain charming young lady on St.Anthony Hill whom I should liko very muohto mako my wifo, and I know she feels as I do.But I am not yet able to support a wife, so Ihave never said a word to the young lady'sparents. Well, the other ovening sha and Itook a stroll. It was about half-pa-st 9 whenwo returned to tho house, so I did not go in.Wo stood chatting a few moments, and I light-ed a cigarct. When sho wont into the houseI of courso kissed her good night. Well, with-out giving it a thought, sho went in, bade hermother good night, and kissed her also. Theold lady immediately detected the odor of thocigaret on hor daughter's lips, aud questionedher about it. Tho poor girl had oithor to ac-
knowledge that I kissed her or that sho smokeda cigaret. When tho young lady told moabout it I had not tho courage to ask her whatcourso sho chose. Now yoa know why cigar-ct- s

RECENT LITERATURE.PEOPLE'S PROBLEM AND ITS SOLU-
TION. By WHIium II. Lynn. Published by thoauthor. Sioux Fulls, Dakota.This is believed to be the first book ever pub-
lished in the Territory of Dakota. It3 objectis not only to present what tho writer beliovesto be tho only peaceable and permanent solu-tion of the industrial problem, but also to as-
sist in forcing tho labor question into politicswith a well-define- d object in view. The writersteps a long way ahead of tho procession in ar-guing that the General Government ought
and operate not only all railroads and tel-egraphs, but tho manufactories of tho country.We greatly fear that tho author will not livolong enough to see his plan adopted.ADVEOTURES OP AN" OLD MAID. By "Annt

Tho September Century will contain a paperon Liszt, which, while it has been for somemonths in preparation, happens to appear at atime when it will be read with unusual inter-est. It is an account of a Summer with Lisztat Weimar, written by one of his pupils, Mr. A.M. Bagby, and is full of interesting anecdotesand reminiscences. Tho accompanying illus-trations include a frontispiece portrait of Lisztand a full-pag- e picture of " Master" seatedat piano, both engraved by Johnston.
