Had an Object in Circulating Their Vile Reports. A special to the World from London says: " In the prosecution of Newton, Lord Arthur Somerset’s solicitor, the Govern- ment shows an indication to-day that it means at last to take vigorous steps in regard to the West End seandaal. The charges against Newton are, in b: ief, that he assisted Hammond and other guilty Earties to get out of the country, and that 6 also contrived to get important letters destroyed which incriminated influential persons. There is no doubt that this move on the part of the prosecution wrl result in the direct interference of the Prince of Wales. when the Prince came back to town be thoroughly exited the sources con- necting Priuoe “Eddy ” with the scandals, and he found that the reports emanated principally from Somerset, who thus hoped to silence the po'ica and stave off punish- meut. Some other ptl‘BOIJB in rxalted stations believe that the reports about them came from the same source, and they have exerted pl‘FSsUl‘e to save Somerset's isototum from being arrested. The evi- dence adduced by the Government Counsel yesterday against Newton is very exhaus- tive, and serves to indicate what the police have in reserve it Newton’s trial gets be- yond the bounds intended, and some of the guilty parties squeal under the screws of the law and tell all they know."

A Washington despatch says 2 The most luxurious senator is Mr. McMillan, of Michigan, a r-ative of Hamilton, Ontario. He is one of the few very rich men in America who have learned how to live at the same time that they were amassing fortunes. Senator McMillan not only knows how to live royally, but to do that and perform a prodigious amount of work. He keeps three. secretaries constantly em- ployed. and not one of them has any time to idle away. One of the secretaries at- tends to the senator’s railroad, lumber and corporation affairs. These are very exten- sive. There is not much of importance in an industrial way in the State of Michigan that Senator McMillan is not in. and heavily. Some years ago aquear sort of partnership was formal, Mr. McMillan and one of the famous family of New- berry. of Michigan, being the contracting parties. Rich as Crmsus. an Exquisite, and anal-d Worker. and a Hamilton Boy. The two men were together in every- thing. They bought railroads, salt mines, iron mines, lumber mills, our shops, street railroads, everything which seemed to pro- mise returns. Both grew rapidly rich. Nor were they close together in business alone. Their families were inlimme. They rode, walked, dined together. If McMillan went to New York, Newberry was his compan- ion. Ot one of the companies they were the leading spirits in, McMillan would be elected president and Newberry treasurer. Of the next one, Newberry would be presi- dent and MoMillun treasurer. Such fast friendship in busim es and social inter- course is rare, and it is a pleasure to record that \h: ties were never severed by quarrel or coldness. It was one member of this Newberry family who as a young man started 9. most novel sort of speculation in Dell‘oifi. He was heir to considerable property, but could not come into possession of it till an sun: or some other aged and inconvenient relative should be out of the way. He waived With as much patience as possible for the disappearance of this living obsta- cle, bun finnlly Called upon a. number of wealthy men, of whom I believe Senator McMillan was one, and said to Ihem : “ I am uowa. young men. I will never be young again, and I want to have a good time while ii is possible.

The rich men put their heads to. gather and concluded that would be a. good thing lo do.

There is nobody of importance in the Stnte that he does not know, no trick in the game of politics with which he is not familiar. That his services are of the greatest value to the Senator is witnessed by the salary which he receives. The Senator turns over to him precieel the sum which the United States allows each of its members 01 Con- greas. The political expert private secre- tary is one of the necessary appendages of the rich Senator. who is likely to have a. contest for re-eleclion. Anumber of Sane. tore hire such men and pay them snug salaries. In some cases they are abler men in every way than the Senators them- selves. A third Secretary is employed to attend to Mr. McMillan's extensive cor- respondgnce. McMillan is a man of remarkable capa- city for work. You wouldn’t judge him that way by taking a look at him as he sits in his seat on the floor of the Senate. He appears more like an exquisite, a diplomats or society knight than him a man of work, a business man who has forced his way from poverty to affluence, and an exeontive who directs, and ably directs, the aflairs of a dozen large corporations. Like many another Senator he has a favorite pose on the floor. one which he assumes quite un- consciously. Resting easily and gracefully against one side of his chair, in order to take the stiffness out of his spinal column, neck turnei a trifle out of perpendicular, the Whole body in a state of relaxation without lack of dignity, he sits by the hour languidly twirling in the fingers of his right hand a pair of e) 6 glasses, while another pair sit upon his nose With all his wark, the Senator finds time to ride horseback two or three hours every fine day, and often to drive an hour or so more He dines like an epicure, with plenty of leisure and appetite. The dinners which he gives are among the richest and pleasantest in town. For many years he has made it a rule to wear a dress cost at dinner seven times a. week.

Th‘ere he'pnid {or his keep at the rate of $1,500 a month, and never suspected that It was a pretty large sum, I doubt if he is living as cheaply now. though he is housekeeping. Seeing on Vermont avenue last spring a house which pleased him, he asked a real eitate agent to buy it for him and. like the l ‘ shrewd business man he is, limited the price to a. figure which he was careful to put in writing. “ To him that hath shall be given ” appears to apply to rich men, for none but a man of wealth would have had the good luck to buy a house in that manner 811,000 cheaper than he had ex- pected to buy it.

Resident Who Went to Hunt a Fortune. A Johnstown, Pm, deapatch says : An almost heart-broken man stood today on the spot Where was once located his little home. He could see nothing of the dwell- ing, and his wife and five little children were nowhere to be found. He was Eluile Etoine, a Frenchman, who had left Cam- bria City about a Wetk before the flood to go to his noiive town,0reonville, in Alsace- Lorraine, where a little fortune of $10,000 had been left him by a dtCBEEEd unole. He returned yesterday, but when he got off the train he did not renegnize the place. Dur- ing all his travels to and from his native country he had not heard a word about the terrible calamity that had wrougth so much min and death in May lust. Said be today : “ When I got off at the Pennsylvania Railroad station I turned book to one of the depot men, and inquiisd of him bowler I had yet to go to Johns- town as I had got off at the wrong station. and how soon the next train left for that town. The man looked at me for a moment as though he thought I was not quite right in my mini, and asked me whether or not I could read the sign on the Station house. “ As the man spoke I felt as if some one had pnnomred my heart with a. sharp knife, and I fainted dead away. When consciousness returned I went out to find my wife and children, but something toid me than they were dead. The part. of Cnmbrm Ciby where stood the house in which I left my family was completely swept away. “ I was told that nearly all the people of Cambria Guy, Who inhabited that arctim- where my house had stood, perished.

A Wilkesbarre, Pa., despatch of Wednes- day says: A. double wedoiug, undertaken in a joke, but now realized as a sober reality, has created no little consternation here. John Morrell, a well-knowu restau- rant keeper, stepped into the oflioe of Alder- man J. E. Donohue last eveningto trausact some business. There he met James Murtie. a clerk, and Mary Logue and Sallie Cook, with whom the young men were slightly acquainted. After some laughing conversation one of the young men sug- get;th in a jest, that as there was just the right number they should join hands and have a double marriage. The others conâ€" sented, and after Morrell had taken Miss Logue by the hand and Murtie had done likewise by Sallie Cook, the alderman pro- ceeded with the regular marriage services. Before one of the four had time to realize what was going on they were married by a \ceremony as binding‘as any that could he liV ~. performed. When the alderman proceeded to make out the certificates they began to understand what had taken place, and their consternation can hardly be desorioed.

Antoinette,e.ged 35, live together in the hnmlet of Viohibure in the Vosges. They are small peasant pmprietors. Some years ago an old cripple knocked at their door and asked to be allowed a night’s lodging under their roof. On the next morning, us he was about to start on his journey, Peter said to his sister, “ Let us Keep him.” She assented, find the way- fsrer became their permanent guest. The news' of this was soon sprrad abroad; other aged and infirm people came and were received, and soon the house WAS full. Peter and Antoinette turned their barn into a. dormitory, and received the abandoned and fatherless. Sometimes room was wanting, and Peter then gave up his bed, and slept upon the floor. The kind brother and sister regard their cottage and all that is in it as the common pro perty of their guests, and at meals they themselves help the strangers first and take for themselves the remains. The parish priest testifies that their example has been a blessing to his parishioners, who now lead better lives in every way than Sormerly. The prize awarded to them is £4 . The Stories of Some of Those Who Gained Them. 011 Thursday last the French Academy held its annual meeting for the distribution of prizes. These prizes included What are called the Prizes of Virme, eighty-seven in number, which were awarded for good deeds, and the stories of some of the recipi- ents. as told by Mrs. Crawford, the cor- respondent of the Daily News, are very in- teresliug. It should be explained that Monsignor Perreud, who is ré'lerred to sev- eral times, is the Bishop who delivered an address at the presentation on the useful m-ss of the Prizes of Virtue. Here are some of the cases in which prizes were awarded : Maria Rosa Broquin was born in 1810 Having loan her husband and all her chil- dren, she gave up her life to the service of her fellow creatures. Meeting, one day, an aged Woman shivering from cold, she took off her mantle and gave it to her Maria Broquiu having given away every- thing she has, is now dependent on charity. Upon learning that the Academy intended to give her a. prize of £25, she replied, " I am too happy on earth, and am made too much of. I am afraid this will svand recorded against me up theref" Among those who received prizes for faithful service appears the name of Seraphine Duubn, a. negresa of the Island Bourbon. She was born nsleve, and be- longed to a family named Plantn. She brought up three generations of her mee- ter’s family, and when the emancipation came remained by them. At the end of fifty yearsuohenge came in the fortunes of the Plants. family, and one day the great granddaughters of Bersphine‘a first master lound themselves pinnlless.

When he lost his employment,Amanda, the eldest of his four childrenfiesolved to support the family, and bring up her brothers and sie’ tere. The neighbors marvelled how she got through all her work; they pitied her when they saw her carrying on her back enormous bundles of clothes which she washed at the municipal washhouse. In the district she is called the “ Little Mother." “We were gratified to learn," said Mgr. Perraud, “that she derived her strength from the religious principles which her parents had inculcated in her at an 1rim-1y age." A prize of £50 is awarded to er. That MoGinty should have become a man of national renown was not surprising. His misfortunes were patheticâ€"his end was tragic. McGinty at the bottom of the ‘ wall was a hero, tor he had the courage to break every bone in his body rather than lose a bet. McGinty in the coal-hole was only the victim of an accident, but in the punishment that followed this misfortune he was th: victim of judicial tyranny. Ten dollars or ten days would have been eufli clent. McGinty, bereft of wife and child, stands a monument of domestic desolation. It is no wonder that the hearts of his fellow-citizens, naturalized and native, are touched at his fate, and that their sympaxhies follow him to the bettom of the sea. That the ghost of such a men should wander round the docks is the true out- come of a tale so full of pathos. Not even poor old Leer was so besely injured by his ungrateful daughters, for even Dan Me- Ginty's shade is outraged by a. flippent press. The New York World has the hardi- hood to say he was a. had-carrier in Harlem and that he Jumped into the river at the Battery, n or Castle Garden. There is no “river shore“ at the Battery, and it Mr. MoGinty had been a. New Yorker at all, it 13 certain he would have been an alderman.

These suggestions resulted in the pro scripticn of the clan by set of the privy council at Stirling, and premission was given certain pOWerful ohiettaius to pursue the MacGregors with fire and sword. and all persons were prohibited from affording them meat, drink or shelter. As might be expected, civilzation progresed very slowly during this period, and the Mac- Gregors, feeling all the severity of the law and none of its protection, became wilder and more lawless than over. As the legend runs, two men of the clan MacGregor, overtaken by the night, asked shelter from adepsndent of the Uofquhouns, and, on being refused, retired to an uuthouse, seized a. Wedder from the mid, and suppea frugally off the carcass, for which they offered payment The laird of Luss, hear- ing of this enforced hospitality, caused the offenders to be apprehendeu sud summarily executed To avenge this act the Mac- Gregors assembled to the number of several hundred and marched toward Luss. Sir Humphrey Coxquhoun received early notice of the raid, and assembled an army of superiOr numbers to meet them. A battle took place in the valley of Glsnfrutn (Glen of Sorrow), where, encouraged by the prophecy of a seer, and aided by a superior position and skilful generalsbip, the MacGregors were victorious, pursuing the enemy luriously, and mercilessly slaughtering all who were unable to escape. This battle and the fury of the proscribed clan were reported to King James VI. in a manner most unfavorable to that unfortunate clan, and, more strongly to impress that impressionable monarch, the Widows of the slain, to the number of eleven score, dressed in mourn- ing, riding on white pelireyi, and each hearing her husband's bloody shirt upon "' x “""*‘ - "cw" Wasnqu k-J'H" ting King at Stirling and demanded vengeance upon those who had made their homes desolate.

A short time ago my attention was attracted to an inquiry in the Louisville Courier-Journal as to the origin of the popular phrase “ :he Bloody Shirt." The answer given to the query ascribes it to the recent period of reconstruction. Contrary to the prevailing belief, this political weapon was forged and effectively used long beiore any differences had arisen between certain portions of our Union, and before, in fact, a union of States existed. The incident which gave the expression birth is to some extent legendary, and is related by Sir Walter Scott in the preface to his novel “ Rob Roy,” and briefly is as follows : The clan MacGregor possessed lands and flocks which excited the cupidity of their less fortunate neighbors, who, by force and Other methods, gradually despoiled them of their property and drove them from their homes. The clan, thus empoverished, re- sisted the encroachment upon their rights, and in the frequent collisions that occurred used every temporary advantage they gained cruelly enough. Their conduct. which was perhaps not unnatural under the circumstances. was studiously repre- sented at the capital as arising from an in- nate and untameable ferocity, for which the only remedy was extermination. Why and How to Take a. Valuable Medicine. God liver oil is, as its name indicates. obtained from the livers of codfish. It is an agent which could hardly be dispensed with, being a. nourishing tonic of exceeding value. Many people hava an idea that oonsnmptionxs the one disease for which it is peculiarly adapted, and they fail to recognize the foot thstit is equally efleotive in many other affections. Hence, when physicians prescribe it. patients at once assume that they have trouble with their lungs. The nooeptedlist of diseases in which cod liver oil is of special efficacy is much larger than it was 3 score of years ago. Undoubtedly physicians in old times, in attempting to combat disease, often used drugs Whiuh depressed and reduced the vital powers. doing thereby more harm than good.

Cod liver oil is practically a food, and as such only does It not. it nourishes and fantens wasted and wasting bodies, and in than way it often checks the progress even of pulmonary consump- HOD. Among the many affections in which it is given is nervous debility. In some ‘ coughs. too, even where the lungs are per- teotly sound, it proves admirable and often cures the same. Its taste is so disagreeable that oompaxatively few patients can take it, a fact much to be deplored. Many are the ways devised to mane it less unpleasant, flavoring it with pepperment, mixing it with coffee, rinsing the mouth first with brandy or whiskey, pouring it into the froth of beer. Some recommend that it be salted and peppered and then “ bolted down," afterward the mouth to be rinsed With tincture of myrrh and water. Lately it has been suggested that a few grains of salt be dropped on the tongue before taking the god liver oil. as by that means is will lbe rendered palatable. Or a bite of pickle before and alter taking the oil will render it acceptableâ€"Boston Herald. Patientâ€"Then you think it’s all up with me, doctor “I Doctorâ€"I’m afraid so.

In the Copper Clifl Mine near Sudbnry, Canada, it is said more nickel is being pro- duced than the entire market of the world calls for at current prices, says the Youth's Companion. A little branch railway 05 the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, four miles in length, leads out to the mine, which opens into the face at a crag of the brown, oxtdized Laurentian rock characv teristic of this region. The miners are now at work at a depth of about 300 feet below the surtace. As fast as the nickel and cooper bearing rock is hoisted out it is broken up and piled upon long beds or ticks of pine wood to be calcined, or roasted, for the purpose of drivmg out the sulphur which it contains. The roasting process is of the nature of lime-kilning or charcoal-burning. Each great bed of ore requires from one to two months to toast. When roasted the rock goes to the principal smelter, a pow- erful blast furnace, “ jacketed ”â€"â€"in mining phraseâ€"with running water to enable it to sustain the great heat requisite to reduce the crude, obdurate mineral to fluidity. The dross of the molten mass is first allowed to flow off and afterwards the nearly pure nickel and copper, blended together in an alloy called the " mat,” or matte, is drawn off at the base of the fur- nace vat into barrow-pots and wheeled away, still liquid and fiery hot, to cool in the yard of the smelter The mat con- tains about 70 per cent. of nickel, the re- maining 30 per cent being mainly cop- per. When cool the conical pot loaves of mat can easily be cracked iupieoes by means of heavy hammers. Ihe fragments are then packed in barrels and shipped to Swansea in Wales and to Germany, where the two constituent metals are separated and refined by secret processes which are jeal- ously guarded by the manufacturers. So jealously is the secret kept that no one in America has yet been able to learn the piocsss, although one young metallurgth spent three years at Swansea, working as a common laborer in the factories, in order to obtain it. At present there are pro- duced daily at the Copper Cliff Mme about ninety pct loaVes of rust each weighing nearly 450 pounds, an output which yields an aggregate of more than 4,000 tons oi nickel a year.

As the young man was getting ready to go to his work yesterday morning, he sud- uenly began to stare wildly about him, to shout and geatieulate, and soon he tried to throw himself from a Window. His family and neighbors in the house caught hold of him, anda desperate struggle with the mad youth ensued. Two policemen were finally summoned, and it required the exorcise of all their strength to bind and handouff him. In this ecudion he was removed to Bellevue Hos. pital, and placed in care of House Surgeon Douglass. Throughout the day the lad continued violent and made repeated at- tempts to bruise and injure himself by throwmg himself violently on the floor. Dr- Douglass told an Evening World reporter this morning that there had not been the slightest symptom of hydrophobia about the boy, but that the fear of that dreadful ‘ disease had without doubt unsettled his‘ reason. Last night the lad’s stomach be- ‘ came weak and he vomited freely. He rapidly grew weaker after that, and at 2.40 this morning he died without regaining reason for an instant. The young man‘s lfear of hydrophobia had been greatly in- l tensifled by reading an account, last Tues- day ot the death 0! Frank Phillips, aged 11 years. of 616 Kosciusko street, Brooklyn, who did have the dreaded malady in its worst form. Phillips was bitten in the lip six weeks ago by a mongrel can he picked up in the street to save it from some boys who were worrying it. He dropped the dog after it hit him and had his wound cauterized. It healed nicely, and left a slight soar. The boy did not seem to mind it, but last Sunday night he grew melan- choly and feverish, and on Monday morn- ing his parents summoned phy sieians, who at once diagnosed his ailment as hydro- phobia. .. . .

After the disease had reached its worst there was an instant and startling change for the better, which re- sulted in a complete cure of all inflamma- tion in an incredibly short time. It was not a cure, hOWever. that brought back the old eyesight like that possessed by the average genus homo. When it returned it was with extraordinarily increased powers of vision. To John Thomas the most minute plant louse was as large as as a rabbit, and the mosquito‘s bill as large as an axe-handle. He could see and describe distant minute objects with start' ling clearness and precision. He was amazingly shocked upon repairing to the well to get a. cooling draught to see the immense number of hideous creatures that were floating, fighting and wriggling about in the water. From that day till this water has never passed the lips of John Thomas Heslop; his drinks consist wholly of cofiee, tea and ‘ milk, thoroughly boiled.

In the centre of each of these three circles appears an iris, greatly diminished in size, but an iris nevertheless. Medical reports have been made on the case by journals. such as the Lancet.

The young man has been visited by all the greater and lesser lights of the British medical colleges. each of whom pronounce his case the most won- derful in the annals of optics.
