The Straggle for Oregon?Soft "Words for ; the South. I i {Correspondenceof the News and Qcnirier.) j Washiegton*, March 2S.?One visi-! ble effect of the warfare inaugurated ; upon the Administration by the He-; publican Senate has been to bring the | President and Democratic Congress- j in en into better relations than existed j at the opening of Congress. Senator j Plumb, of Kansas, who opposed the j Edmunds movement from its inception i and who has not endeavored to eon- j ceal his opposition, remarked shat it j was foolish policy from a political j riew. He said a month or more ago: j "By assailing the President we (the j Republicans) will inevitably drive the j Democrats to his support. They canDot do anything else." Senator Plumb's political perception has been verified by the result. It was patent to the Democrats at the outset that thev could not even hold aioot from the Adiainis- j tration. The Democratic Senators in j the first caucus held on this question j unanimously adopted a resolution ! pledging their cordial and earnest J support to the Administration, i here ( were several Senators present who did | not, by any means, subscric- to the I wisdom of "the President's refusal to submit papers to the Senate. They beGeved that no harm could have resalted from permitting the Senate to bare access to all the flle6, as a matter of fact, but in view of the plain fact that the Republican Senators were endeavoring to make a political issue ) of the President's refusal ihese Sena- j tors did not hesitate to declare their} support of the Executive. The more i friendly footing upon which the Ad-1 ministration stands to its partv leaders and representatives in Congress is visible in several directions. Illnatured criticisms of the President because of disappointments in procuring desired appointments are not heard among Democrats. The qucs-i tions of difference between Democrats ana the Executive are no longer thrust | upon public notice. In fact, there is j apparent a general disposition among j L/emocraiB iu giv? tue duiuiuisuaui'ii a hearty support and cheerful co-operation in all matters and measures of public interest. The natural effect of such a disposition, and of a line of conduct iu accord with it, will be to engender a better party feeling and spirit throughout the country, something very important as the time approaches for preparation for the fall political campaign.' Oregon will lead off in June with an election for State officers and member of Congress. The Democrats intend to make a determined effort to earrv the State. It is already evideut that'the Republicans are preparing to bend every energy to the capture of the next "House of Representatives. - It is also evident that they are entertaining the hope oI tnakiug decisive gains in the Southern States. Indeed, unless th6y can make gains in that section it is difficult to see how they can control the House. The shrewd- j est Republican leaders who shape and j direct the political campaigns of that ; party hive determinod that so far as the South is concerned uone bnt reputable men shall take the field as its candidates for Congress. These shrewd leaders appreciate the fact that reputable men are very scarce in the Republican party of the South, but this does not deter them or dash their hopes-41 Their policy will be to persuacJg^Tn ?f *"*^^j^a3tfrfe*<not been i anc* to give On the tariff qnestion, and particu* larly on the qaestion of internal improvements, s?n of good standing in the South will be invited to stand for Congress in opposition to the Democrats. In Virginia, Xorth Carolina, Tennessee and in Georgia candidates will be urged to take the field in behalf of a repeal of the internal revenue laws. As a means of fastening the protective tariff policy more fraiv the Republicans will be willing frt f?r?mrrsit fhemfceives to a ret>eal of the internal revenue laws to an extern sufficient for their purposes in State* and sections where that tax bears heavily upon the people. It is expected that, naturally to a greater or less extent, there will exist dissatisfaction, resulting from disappointed hopes and ambition, with the Administration. Such dissatisfaction will be taken advantage of. In short, the Republicans mean to thoroughly overhaul the Soath and to ply the sharpest tactics in efforts to captnre Congressional districts. The idea of making the Soath a fruitful field of political gain prevails anions* the Republican leaders in both bouses here. Sherman. Logan and other, big men of that party have nothing but kind words for the South. ON THE YEBGE OF BLOODSHED. The Yerr Serious A#pect oZ the Strike in St- Louis.

A Xew Hobby of the Fashionable Young Ladies of Wasli^toii. If there is any new kink or wrinkle in the line of fashionable hobbies which has not reached Washington 'liv society young ladies would like to have .t pass this way, writes a Washington correspondent. This year it is the proper thing for one young lady to be desperately in love with another. She may have a voting man?and most of them do?but unle-s she is pcperarely in love with one of her own sex she can rest assured she is not en reyle This crnze is being carried to a ridiculous extent here. Tho?e of us who have been watching Its. rapid growth have been intensely amused at the extremely practical manner in which some of the voting ladies go about it. It mu>t not be supposed that because fashion's whim commands a voung lauv iu ra\u nuuui >umu uum >vmi? ladv'a beau(y, and to drip .ill maiter of literary treacle over the object of her alleged desires, that it is at ali necessary her 'mash' should be one of her own circle of friends. The shrewd girl will never permit herself to be caught in such a flimsy trap as that. She must admire something feminine, and so she looks about her and usually settles down on some actress, lihea, , Jeannie Winston and Vernona Jarbeau are the three favorites. All three of: them are deluged with flowers and 1 perfumed notes every time they come to town. Not long ago Miss Winston stopped for about two hours in W ashington on her way North. A delegation of young ladies met her at the depot and entertained this feminine Buuthorne during Iter stay. Quite recently Jarbeau played in "The Mikado" a * one of our theatres. Two young ladies at once became desperately smitten. They called and were cordially received. Jarbeau told them all maimer of pretty things about herself, her origin and her history. They were enraptured. But when the clever little actress innocently told them that she was barely past 2U, and that she felt just like a school-girl, the young ladies looked at her a trifle incrcduously. Before they left Jarbeau managed to tell them that in case they hired a box at the matinee she would flirt with them from the stage. The girls hired the box and Jarbeau did as she promised. All of this talk may be sickening to those who have never moved in society at the Capital, but it must be confessed that when one looks at the average brainless dude who is suDDOsed to entertain the young lady hedoes not wonder at the fact that the girls are falling in love with cue another. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION". An Effort to take the Life of the Mayor of Houston. On Tuesday night an attempt- was made to assassinate Mayor Won R. Baker, of Houston, Texas, under p^uunai vii^uuioiauuco* is rnuning as an independent citizens' candidate for re-election against L>. Smith, the Democratic nominee, who is being supported by the labor organizations. The canvass has been signalized by numerous acrimonious discussions. Ou the evening in question Baker, with others, intended a colored Baker campaign meeting, near the Howard Oil Mills, in the 4th ward. About 8:30 o'clock with Judge Bra? ne^* Edward Jemisou and several c?&red men, he started to walk^yj^Jistance to the omskij^s?e town where another^flSeeting was being held. J^?i??*irossing the fcabine at the bridge a high lonely structure, the party emerged on the South side, when a horseman riding a gray horse rapidly approached and asked: 'Tc \favnr Rnk-p.r in that crowd?" "Yes, what do you want with me?" asked the Mayor as he left the party and walked toward the horsman in the middle of the road. "I have some private business with you," said the rider, and he asked Baker to walk down the road a short distance. As they started away lbs mar: said: "Will you withdraw in faror of Smith?" "You must be joking/* ieplied BuKiil'. Several rods from the starting point the assassin pulled up his horse and Baker placed his left hand on the horse's mane as if to listen, when sud ' ^ rt? o f* nr f I ** efo ??t Ifl/? lieu IY LUC VI WftC giuou v oiai uui by the flash of a pistol in his face, which blinded him for a moment. Three 3hots were fired in quick succession. Baker dodged to the ground, and the would-be assassin, who evidently thought he had killed the Mayor rode hastily away. He was followed by Judge Brashear and Mr. Jemison, who opened fire ou him. Investigation developed the fact that the.horseman had watched the Mayor's party leave the first place of meeting and had followed them by a circuitous route. The Mayor is uninjured, tie is sixty year old and one of the wealthiest men in Harris county. He is not a po'ilician and never drew his salary of Mayor. He is unmarried and accepts the position as a means of occupying his lime. Indignant Western Democrats. The Pacific Coast people do not appear to be very happy over some of the recent appointments made for that region. Special opposition will be made to the confirmation of Isreal Lawton, the present Director of the Mint at San Francisco. A Pacific Coast Senator has in his possession allIe<?ations that Lawton is the owner of a certain block of houses in Oakland which are let for disreputable purposes, and from which a much larger rental is received than if the property were properly rented. The stir in the Pacific Coast dcle^a tion is nothing, however, to the indignation of tjie Colorado people over the appointment of one Dobson as District Attorney and a man by the name of Hill as United Stares Marshal. Both of these men are Virginians, and have recently moved to Colorado. They owe their appointment to the indorsement of the Virginia delegation in Congress and are wholly unknown to any of the leading I>em?/crats in Colorado. The Blair Bill. It seems that there i9 a determination on the part of the advocates of the Blair bill in the House to press themselves to a hearing. At a meeting of the friends of the bill recently the following resolution was adopted, which if carried out will give them a hearing. Ii reads as follows: "That Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, be and he is hereby requested to introduce into the Huuse next Monday the bill commonly known as me 'isiair diii,' with snch amendments thereto as he may deem best, if any, and move that .- aid bill be referred to a committee of the House that, in his opinion, will report thereon promptly; and in the meantime the chairman of this conference. appoint a committee consisting of two members of each delegation who shall confer with their respective col leagues and secure their support of said reference, said committee to report at an adjourned meeting."

The Terrible Death of a Russian Who was ! Bitten by a Mad Wolf. One.of the Russians, who were bit-! i ten by mad wolves, died in Pari* last! ! week with all the symptoms of h\dro- j j phobia. The Russians were placed j i under Dr. Pasteur's care on the loth I j March. They were nineteen in num-1 ber. All had been attacked by mad j wolves and terribly lacerated. The ; man wno uieci nan Deen careiuuy oper- j ated upon and regularly inoculated i with virus twicc in every twenty-four j hours since he arrived. His terrible; death has operated as a serious check j to public confidence in the effective-1 ne?s of Pasteur's discovery. The first pu?:*;ve indications that the patient's j syst n was resisting the treatment; manifested tnvtiiselvs on Sunday, after ! ne had been in the hospital over five j duvs and had been inoculated more ! than half a dozen times. Death oc-1 cnrred while the man was tmid and | wild with physical torture. The scientist is much annoyed by the unfavorable comments catted by this failure of his method, but he iusists that it establishes nothing. The inquest revealed the presence in one of the man's cheek bODes of a portion of a decayed tooth that, undoubtedly belonged* to the wolf by which tht man was bitten. This Pasteur supposes j hastened the incubation ot the disease, i The lungs and other internal organs were filled with clotted blood, showing that there had been paralysis of the breathing apparatus. The tonsils and tongne were abnormally swollen, and the brain was slightly congested, but was otherwise healthy. The other Russian patients have shown symptoms of acute hydrophobia. BLAISE IS HARD AT WORK. He Will Take a Hand in This Year's Elections and Prepare for More. (From a Washington Letter.) Ex-Postmaster Manlev, of Augusta, Me., the friend of Mr. Blaine, who catne here a week ago to spend some days in conferring with Mr. Blaine's friends and in looking over the political field, left the city somewhat abruptly for Xew York, where he will pass a few days and thence return to Maine. In speaking to a friend Mr. Manlev said that his visit had been shortened bv the persistent fabrication of remarks made by him. The statement respecting Mr. B.aine's position on the controversy between the Senate and the President, for instance, was published in a New York paper before Mr. Manlev had called upon Senator Frye. As he remarked upon that subject: "I /1a Mi* T^loinn ?c iniviiifr UU uyi Lliilirw *UI. jurit*ni\s ao himself up with matters which not only do not concern him, but which can have no important bearing upon public affairs or upon public opinion." There is no doubt whatever about the p'.ans of the friends of Mr. Blaiue. They do not propose to abandon the contest. They claim that the loss of New York was due to that ill-considered dinner. The Burchard incideut was worked by the opposition for all it was worth at the last moment, but to the dinner they charge the most serious influence upon the popular sen^_ liment in New York. Mr. Bjaine himself so considers it, ^irt-rgcognizes the v? i...f ;.>?-t~. 3 u.. .i w~..? I laub iiiul w uy blitz uuat vi j motivej-atfiorig his friends the indi?-' cre^^peeches which it drew out were \ -ffnforfunate. It is thought that uirh ; the experience of 1884 and the imbe-; cility and distractions of the Demo-} cratic party they will be able to carry i the country. At all events, Mr. j Blaine's friends have made up their: minds to begin early and rally their j old forces in their support before they ; become disnersed in ximnorf of other j candidates. They will take a hand in ; the Congressional and Legislative campaigns, where there is a chance of strengthening their position. A POOR GIRL'S LUCK. I Fal lirtjj Kcir to Pabulooa TCoalth by the I>eatb of a Distant Relative. I {From the Louisville Courier-Journal.) ! A romance in real life has jiwt been developed in Jeffersonvillc, Ky. Twenty-five years ago Mr. Henry Nagle and wife adopted a little girl in New Orleans. Her name was Mary Huber, and she lived with her parents when the yellow fevr broke out and all of the familv died of disease, excent the infant child. The tainily papers and 1 even thing valuable were ?tolen by burglars and the little waif had no means of establishing her identity. She knew that she came from Germany, but did not know from rchnfeity. Her benefactors brought her to Jefferson and reared her as their daughter. As Mr. Neagle i* a gentleman of considerable means, the child was given every educational advantage. As she gicw up she soon evinced a desire to know something of her relations and wrote letters to Germany for years, but none of these elicited a reply. Still she was not discouraged, and kept bravely on in her search. At las?, a few days ago, she received a letter from Edward Iluber, a prominent merchant of Bregenz, Austria, saying that he was her brother and had learned of her whereabouts from one of the letters she had written. The writer also stated that her father did not die at New Orleans, as was supposed, but recovered, and finding that his dangh! tf?r hjid flitsn!>pAr(>d :inil t.hfi finrnilv had vv* **? ?-?t t -- died, returned to the old country and entered into business.

A remarkable duel was fought on the field of Waterloo last week. The contestants were Madame Valsayre, a native of France, and Miss Shelby, an American. The dnel was the result of a dispute on the relative merits of French and American female doctors. After stormy altercations, Madame Valsayre threw her glove in Miss Shelby's face and a duel was forthwith arranged. The weapons were swords. Miss Shelby was slightly wonnded on the arm. The four seconds were Americans. These expressed themselves satisfied that the duel had been conducted fairly, anu mat nonor aau been vindicated and the insult avenged. From Toledo (says the Cleveland Plaindcnb-r) conies a story of peculiar interest. A gentleman well known as a grain operator and noted for the glossy blackness of his hair and- whiskers recently died. When his friends, who had not seen him since he fell sick, took a last look at his remains they saw that his hair and beard had turned gray. Then it was discovered that they had bcf?n so for vears. and that the dark hue of the gentleman's h:iir had been due to a peculiar liair-dye that he had used for years. It was also found out that his death was caused by this 11 air-dye. It was deadly poison, and as he drank hot tea and coiFcc the liquor strained through his mustache and carried from it a little of the poison of the hair-riye. In time his stomach became in < lamed with the poison atul death was tiic fcnal result. William J.

The effect of free competition in trade 1 is to brin<x the greatest competition to bear on those things in which there is ! the greatest trade. Thus, there is the smallest margin of prolit over the cost of production oil the necessaries of life, the next smallest on the common comforts, and the largest on the luxuries. This effect is not caused by any design on the part of trailers nor irom any beneficent legislation on the part of ! politicians, it results from the operal tion of natural laws of trade. The | operations of the same kws produce the ! same effect on the rates of transportation. We find, as a rule, the lowest rates on coal, wood, petroleum, iron. I lumber, etc.; the next lowest on flour. grain, provision, etc.; we then have : boots and shoes, cotton and woolen goods, clothing, etc.; and then a vary| ing list of more cosily or perishable articles and luxuries which are consumed in decreasing quantities. All the natural forces of competition which tend to . reduce the rates of transportation co-operate in producing this discrimination ' in things which are moved in the larg , est quantities, and which are, of course, ' consumed in the largest amounts. The I aim of thr railroad manager is to secure | traffic. To do this he. must make lower j rates on cheap commodities, with those things which comprise the necessaries | of life. It results in distributing the charges for transportation where they arc most easily borne. Not only do I nAAAijeowiw V*oT7rt t-Vm rntoc IUC umv luv *V?.V^V *MWW | and the luxuries the highest, but the necessaries consumed in the largest quantities have lower rates than those cansumed in smaller quantities. Wo consume more fuel than bread, and more food than clothing, while the rates of ' transportation follow the opposite order, i This discrimination, though in favor ; of the necessaries and common comforts i of iife, is none the less a discrimination. It actually results in favoring classes. Those who consume but the necessaries, the dav-laborers, arc the most benefited; : the artisans who consume, in addition i to the necessaries, many of the comforts, the next; and so on as higher wages : provide more of the comforts, and these merge into the luxuries.?Gerrit L.Lansinq, in Popular Science MonUiLv for February.

"Very well," was the advocate's response; "in the islands lying nearer to us, as maaeira, mere exists ? long-observed and very honorable custom " "Mr. Advocate," interrupted the Judge again, "I speak to you for the last time. If you talk again of things which have'nothing to ao with the case I shall refuse to hear you any longer." "I protest against an infringment of the rights of the defense," was . the unabashed reply, "and I request that my protest may be taken note of." Then, turning oncc more to the jury, he added, "Since, gentlemen, I may appeal to neither history nor geography, I will only remind you of the custom of j the court of this district in case 01 a third theft. This court has the praiseworthy custom of acquitting the defendants in such eases, and, therefore, I do not see why you should not let my client go free.1' How the case ended is not said, but it will be a pity if the prisoner I did not get off. | Thirty-two daily newspapers arc published in New York. ! A STATEMENT OF FACTS FOR THE PUBLIC i TO CONSIDER. Atlanta, Ga., Januery 12.1885. Emerging from a severe and long spell of typhoid fever, I discovered that the fever had settled in my right leg; which caused it to swell to an enormous si*.e, remaining so quite three years, resisting all treatment. A small ulcer finally made its appearance a little above the ankle which refused to heal to any and all external application and the use of the mo>t wted blood poison remedies. Bie ulcer continued to enlarge, frequently discharging, perhaps, as much as a cupful of pus or matter per day The size of the ulcer was about two inches in diameter, extending to a depth near the fcone. At one time it appeared that the liesh in all contiguous parts, would surely become a running sore, as its peculiarly flabby, spotted and unhealthy condition Moari*- infJiratpd. and it was intimated I tMt i might lose my ieg. My condition becoming so critical, and the ulcer enlarging so rapidly, we sent for Dr. J. P. Droragoole, who made a tlwroug:: examination, and said that the flash on my leg for six inches around the sore would soon slough off if not remedied; that I must have my leg bandaged dailv and commence the use of B. B. B. I acted according to his instructions, and J aft^r usuing the second bottle, the ulcer I looked fresh and healthy and commenced ! healing. I continued tne use 01 ?5. is. d., i and to the greatest astonishment and satisfaction of myself and friends, the ulcer continued to heal rapidly and is now entirely well, and I am attending to my business at W. H. Brotherton's store. I do not hesitate to recommend B. B. B. as a wonderful, speedy and effectual blood purifier, far superior to anything else I ever Used. 1 refer to W. E. Brotherton, W. B.
