Sectretary Foster's expec
tation that the four-and-a-half
per-cent bonds, upon
which the interest, ceased on
the 2nd inst., would be pre
sented for redemption very
slowly was wrong, as at the
close of business Saturday
there had been $10,000,000
of the if 27,000,000 outstand
ing presented for. redemp
tion. .
Ex-Sen. Ma hone's scheme
of regaining power by theaid
of the Farmer's Alliance of
Virginia, is not relished by all
of the members of his party
in tlv'it State, as is evidenced
by a well-attended meeting
of republican county chair
men held here several days
ago. Col. Parsons, a warm
personal friend of Secretary
Blaine, is at the head of this
movement, which has for its
objects the dethronement of
Ma hone as State chairman
mid the control of the State
delegation to the national
convention. Mahone is to be
asked to call a mass conven
tion, and if ho refuses the
county chairmen will call it
and elect a new State com
mittee. Representative McMilliu
has decided to join thedistin
gnished missionary party of
democrats in its tour to the
Slate of Washington, but
owing to his campaign en
gagements in Massachusetts
and elsewhere, he will be un-
able to remain with the par
ty through the whole trip.
He will make a t'-iriff reform
speech at Spokane Falls to
the representatives of the
democratic clubs of Wash
ington. A story is told here which
shows the opinion privately
entertained by prominent re
publicans of the Pension law.

other skulduggery. Thisdoes
not bear out the story that
Mr. Harrison is prepared in
contingencies to retire ia fa
vor of I'laine, it looks more
like he was preparing to con
test the field against Blaine
or anybody else.
Secretary 'Tracy has had a
bit of bad lin k in which he
has neither deserved nor re
ceived any sympathy. Early
in the summer he placed a
man who was his valet on
t lie r jllsof the Xavy depart
ment as a. messenget, a little
scheme which is entirely too
common among republican
officials, to avoid paying for
the man's services out of kn
own pocket. This messenger
transacted all of the Secreta
ry's private business, such as
paying his personal bills, etc.,
and the other day Mr. Tracy
was surprised to learn that
biils had not been paid whi' h
he had given his valet I he
money mont hs ago. The val
et is discharged from his du
al position and the Secreta
ry is out several hundred
dollars.

of sick persons in Persia, Mr,

"When a person is in need

nurse cr attendant uses a ti

upon the principle that as1
the bonfe is the strongest
part of the animal, it is sup
posed to be the only proper
remedy. Instead of the life
giving compounds made in
this part of the world. Per
sian make their pills of ser
pent1?, toads and other rep-
tiles. Such a heing as a sur
geon or a dentist is unknown
in any part of Pprsia. No
time is given to the study of
anatomy, surgery, or even
the circulation of the blood,
and many Persians die from
broken limbs which have not
