TROOPS FOR THE CENTEN.MAL.
^heridac Not C'o:::U:,; ai;J ijciiufield Likely to [;
Ila'.c Command of Them.
"WAsnixt.vos-. A:._ Lieutenant
General Siic-rici.L^ h;;> written a letter to the '
Secretary of "War requesting "hat Major j 5
General John 31. Sc::' field, commanding
the division of the Atlantic, bo assigned to j y
the command of the troops to be concen- j
trated in PhihlelpLu in September to pur
tieipate in the pageant attending the eeie- t
b ration of the centennial of the Constitution
of the Untied Slates. Owing to a previo*'- .
engagement and the necessity of n inspec
tion of the far western posts before the , 1
winter weal.. is, the Lieutenant
General finds it impossible to be p.-e-ent at t
Philadelphia o:. the occasion mentioned. '
The annua] reunion of the Society of the
Army of^ the T n lessee will meet ::i De- t
troit on September 14 a^d 15, in the pro- ,
ceedirgs cf whi ;h the Lieutenant General <
accepted a certain part assigned to him a ' .
year ago. From Detroit he will continue '
westward to the frontier po.?t~.
It :s not yet known how many troops of j
the regular military establishment will take ; '
g? part in the demonstration at Philadelphia.; i
i o a certain decree tne question 01 uunii'crs
Trill be a matter fur the Centennial, 1
Commissi!. ; to determine. It is part of the : i
arrangements that the Commission shall p.:y !
for the transportation of the regulars, so
that that expense shall not be chargeable '
to the arzn}- transportation fund, which is !
now inadequate to the necessary movement;
of the army, owing to the parsimonious policy
of Congress. The expense of rations
ami camp duties will be met bv the Gov- ;
s- ernment.
It is_ proposed to mass nearly all the j
troops in the division of the Atlandc with ,
the exception of a small guarc at forts.
This will form a force made uj from the i
?- ; r X-? -i' .... i 1 ~i :
I gturisvus Oi -\ew i urK iiu-iour, uk un-isu/u
headquarters being at Governor's Island, !
^ and the various forts ar.d military stations ]
strung along the Atlantic coast and along j
the grcct lakes cf the North as f:ir as Fort I
Dra-jy at thr Straits of Saint Sie. 3Iaricand
t>- including Chicago. This would make
f several thousand men, feet, horse and artillery,
if necessary to add to the imposing :
character of the part "which the regulars i
I ? "will play with the thousands of National
Guardsmen and organized militia of tne
? States in the parade.
_ Instructions have been sen: from the j
Navy Department to the admiral ox the
"NTr.rih At;'Wt v-hiV-h will set the
vessels to heading for the Delaware as soon
as the present manoeuvres in Maine waters I
are over. In about two weeks the objective j
point of the peaceful movements of the j
army and navy will be Philadelphia, which j
will lb en present a scene of military and j
civic display more numerous as to numbers j
though not less spirited as to enthusiasm :
than attended the surrender of Cormvaliis, ,
a little over a hundred years ago.
THAT JBANK. 2A CHINA.
secretary Bayaril ;o !>? of China's Conces- j
sioi38 to Americas*.
Count Mitkiewicz and the Imperial CLi
"Rnvnv. Ma ?ien Chanff, and suite i
have lef: S.:n Francisco for "Washington. !
where they v?*ill present to Secretary Bay- j
ard important autograph letters from the i
Viceroy, Li Hnng Chang. These letters '
| refer to the enterprises which a number of i
_ American capitalists have been negotiating I
for in the Chinese Empire. The letters are i
bunglesome and curious things. They are !
enclosed in envelopes a T"oot long and about;
six inches wide, witb. the imperial seal of ;
Viceroy Li Hung Chang as High Comruis-,
sioner for Trade and Secretary of State, j
In these letters the Viceroy tolls of his de-;
sire to have China M'ome closer affiliated i
^ to the United Slates srui hopes icr a long i
continuance of the present bonds of friend-1
ship. He says that in order to partially do i
this he has granted valuable concessions to
L. Count Mitkiewicz and Wharton Barker, of
"Washington.
3Ir. Barker has little to say of these con-1
cessions, intimating that matters have not I
yet reached that stage wK-re it would do |
either the public, tlie Chinese government i
or the Americans interested any good to
^? know the exact slate o: affairs. As far as
texvr.pn r-.ft Yh-erovs concessions i
are that a national and international amal-1
gamated tank is to be i'ormcd uuier an I
imperial charter, which gives the Arneri
cazhJ and a few natives of China who are I
?? . interested the sole and exclusive rights as :
far as regards the Chinese imperial and :
provincial governments.
Under the charter the bank is to be sup- ]
plied by America and China with a capital
of 30,000,000 taels, in proportions to be
fixed hereafter, but the larger share to be
msinlv American. It will establish itself
in Chinese commercial centres. It vrii];
live branches in all foreign cities with |
which Chins, has trade 01 political interests. |
? It will have the sole right to coin money. \
It will receive and disburse imperial and |
provincial treasury funds. It will carry
on the finances of the imperial and p.* ovin-1
cial governments. It will net, in fact, in a !
f large sense on the Credit ilobilier system. !
It win advance funds and construct rail- j
ways, telegraphs, canals, river improve- j
v"- ments and" systems of drainage, it will;
take part in building forts, camps, fleets, J

Another cud one of the most important
of the schemes is the reported intention of
ihe syndicate to take over the existing telegraph
lines and to have die exclusive right
for fifty years to manipulate telephones.
The Chinese Commissioner vriii confer
with Sir. Barker while in Washington, and
3Ir. Barker will probably go to China to .
ratify the agreement.

at Key Went, Florida.
K:;y Tvkst, August 30.?The Cuban j
colony in Key West is much excited over i
the turn affairs have taV."n in Havar.n.
The unlives feel that there is some chance
of their being revenged upon tbe odious
volunteers who v/ere the cause of tbe mas-1
sacre of the Cuban students in 1871.
Thn imnrpfision nrcvails here that Marin !
will override all opposition and will end I
the outbreak by arresting and shooting j
several leaders. The volunteers of Havana, j
who are about 50.000 strong, are a similar j
body to the old Janizaires of Turkey, j
They have held all authority in contempt j
for years and have been ihe virtual dicta-1
torsof both people and government. Cap-j
tair, General Mann's only hope lies in a j
complete subjection of this element. It!
mu?i be no partial victory, but an annihi-1
la!i-.:a. He recognizes this and has made
all preparation. The Madrid government
will now have to stand or fall with him,
since they have committed themselves by
telegraphing 7>Iarin their approval.
Four of the men belonging to the celebrated
baud of Matagas, the tame that was I
made famous by neariy kidnapping Gen- j
era' Sherman, have come to Key West a;;d j
are running a liver}' and sale stable. By j
every steamer from Havana they receive a j
consignment of horses from their confeder j
ates or other members of the baud, and j
they are disposed of here.

';How do I keep my trousers from j

lau -who had served many years in the j tl

when you sit down; you leave plenty of

be simple, but it's worth more to a man 1
than one of those patent $5 trouser

Not a day passes but I have to laugh at r.

their coats up, and then calmly proceed i
to button them down." t
.MR. rOWDEKLY'S IDEAS. j
How ihe General >Ia*ter Workman Analyzes
the Government Lawn.
General Master Workman Powderly, in .
the i.i.vl. Lumber of the Knights' official organ.
has issued three circulars to the Or
uer. One, entitled "Brave Men Behind J
Galling Guns," \varn3 the workmen against 1
foiee in the settlement of labor difficulties
;:ud rt-ads a fcsson to capitalists who advo- ]
eate force to settle strikes. Another, en- i
titled "Speak Well of the Dead," defends <
Henry Ward Beecher and shows he was a j
friend of the workingman. The third is i
very lengthy aud is entitled, "Wanted?A t
Xev.- Government." In it Mr. Powderly
relates that in a discussion with capitalist- ,
he read a part of the Declaration of Inde- i
pendence referring to all bc-ing created
equal. The source was not recognized and .
the ideas were decricd as revolutionary.
.Mr. Powderiy then analyzes at seme length "
what is meant by the Declaration and de- 1
cides that although our forefathers over- 1
threw a. monarchy, they did not overthrow
the aristocracy. The new shape the aris- :
tocrmic idea took is that of railroad mo- :
nopolies and coal cliques, and against these
Mr. Powderiy strongly inveighs as violating
the rights of .a free people.
He says: "Did anyone, in reading the :
history of the past, ever stumble across a
more stupendous piece of asiniuity that that
which keeps the coal away from the man
who wants it simply because a few men
who have monopolized the gifts of the Creator
have so willed it?"
In treating of ibe Senate he says: "It is ]
openly charged that a majority of the
L niied States Senate owe their election to
railroad or national bank influence. This :
states ent has never been contradicted.
How img will the people continue tore 1
spec-t a government that allows men to put :
up the nation's rights to the highest bidder?
How iong will the people continue'to up- i
hold a government that turns an ear single
to the voice of wealth and passes by on the
other side when the voice of the common
people is raised in behalf of justice? The ;
tiaj has come to institute a new govern-1:
most, that will effect a restoration of the :
rgh;s of ?he people." In regard to the
iosi* running a railroad under the Inter- ,
State Commerce Act he says: "It they can- .
not operate their railroads except at a" loss, !
then the government can do so and make '
them pay." ,

SPEED I>* STENOGRAPHY.
ivo Hundred Words Per Minute and Fifteen
Seconds to Spare.
"All this talk about speed," said a
lort-hand writer, "reminds me of a lit- j
e experience that I had away back in 1
566. I was then located in New York,
ad was a mere lad and comparatively !
ew in the business. I had never been
l a court room and knew absolutely
othing about the form of trials. I
Duld write short haiid, however. There
as a big murder trial going on in North
arolina, and they sent to New York in
ot haste for a stenographer. I hapened
to be the only one a:, the time j
mailable and Graham sent me down.
"I shall never forget that experience,
.bout the first man I came in contact
ith was the judge advocate. He was
ruff and sarcastic as a cross-cut saw half
mile from an oil can. He looked me .
ver in a sneering way that I shall never
Drget, and seemed to be sadly disappointed
over the fact that there was not
I
lore of me.
" 'The man whose shoes you have
een sent to nil could write two hundred
rords a minute,' he said grulily. 4How
aany can you write'i'
" 'I don't know exactly, sir,' I statu- j
aered.
'"Well, I'll drop into your room in the ;
aorning before court opens and put you !
hrough your paces,' he said sarcastic i
Hy.
"When I got to my room I was about j
he worst frightened boy you ever saw. i
[his was a nice sort of man for one who
cnew nothing whatever about courts to
ncounter. About the first thing I saw
vhen I entered my room was an old
volume of Webster's speeches. An idea
it once struck me. I picked out one of
inese and practiced on it most all night.
Clie consequence was tnat i naa com-;
nitted it to memory and had it right at J
ny finger ends. Ail that remained was I
o devise some scheme to get the judge j
idvocate to select that particular speech ;
:or the text. Bright and early the nest
norning he came into my room.
" 'Have you anything here that I can
read to you from?' he asked.
" 'I don't know,' I replied, ascarekssv
as possible. 'Let's see. Ah, here's a
i>ook which seems to belong to the
room. It's Webster's speeches, ilebbe
this might do.'
"I opened it carelessly at the particular
speech which I had practiced upon
md handed it to him. He examined it
jareiully, and all the time my heart was
in my mouth. I was afraid he would
turn the pages and pick out some other
speech. Bat he didn't.
" 'I should think this would do,' he
said, and proceeded to count off two
hundred words.
"Well, at it we went, and when the
two hundred words were written 1 still
bad fifteen seconds of the minute to
spare. He timed me with one of those
old stop-watches, and I can see it yet.
" 'Hum!' he said, 'I guess you'll do,'
and after that he seemed to think I was
more of a man than I looked."
EVERETTE BARTTELLE FOUND.
Not Lost in the Jersey Swamps?Happiness
in Water ford.
(From the Philadelphia Times.)
Everette Barttelle, the 8-year-old boy
who disappeared from his home near
Waterford, X. J., Friday and whose disappearance
caused the people of that
vicinity to desert their church on Snn
day and scour the country for milas
around, was found at 88 i Erie street,
Camden, and taken home. Sunday the
searching parties tramped many miles
and failed to find any trace of the boy.
About 2 o'clock one of the party in the
swamp called:
''There's the belli the boy is found."
All stopped and listened. Sure t-uough

the news that brought joy to a
mother's heart.
"Thank God! I hope he's alive," exclaimed
the big hearted constable. A
fervent "amen".went up from a score ol
throats. The dogs were csiled in and
the searchers started for home, hoping
for the best, but fearing that only the
body had been found. When the party
reached Waterford they -were met by
mother crowd, and the cheers of the
men when it was known the boy was
safe made the pines ring.
Baggage Master Dill, cf the Camden
md Atlantic Railroad, found the lad
comfortably housed at 83i Erie street,
Camden. Everette had gone there Saturday
hight and asked fjr something to
sat. He said he had neither father nor
mother and had been working on a farm
md the people had curned him away.

A Cow Xursea u P?
A ?cntiera :u of this city lias a fine milch
cow that suddenly failed in giving the I
quantity of lacteal she had usually i
given, whereupon our friend conciurled
that !be cow was sick. Upon examination
he decided that her aiiment was what is
called the "hollow-tail." He pursued the
cour.se usually adopted by cow doctors in
such cases and split the tail, inserted a
quantity of salt, turpentine, etc., and
bound it up nicely. 0;i going out the next,
day to S'.e how "Bossy" was getting >>V'Ug,
he caught a half grown pig, which he kept
in the same lor, busily engaged in sucking
the cow; and this accounted for the falling
off of milk for tabic use. It is needless to
say that tuere was a very much disgusted
individual there or thereabouts.?Gainen- \

A NAMELESS CASE. :
My case has bc-en a very curious ono
for about thirteen years. At interals of;
, about one week I would be attacked with,
; spells of severs and most excruciating
. pain, always commencing in the region
I of my kidneys. The pain would then go ;
: upwards and a fleet my body and head,'
and seemed to penetrate my very eyeballs,
creating the most intense suffering,
lasting about eight hours each spell.

my case, but none gave relief. I fie ally
used B. L. B. as an experiment, and to
my ulter fstonishmenfc ali pain and suffering
va listed after using tiuee doses.
To tne present time I have usc-d three
bottles, and not a pain has ever retained.
I do not know what was the matter,
neither could my physician name the
: complaint. The B. B. B. acted finely
: and powerfully upon my kidneys; my
appetite has been splendid and my constitution
built up rapidly.
