The papers at Berlin, Germany, have just t printed a brief statement that Lieutenant t Powhattan H. Clarke, of the Tenth United States Cavalry, has been detailed to serve I with the Westphalian Hussar Regiment , No. 11. This is '/he first instance of a \ United States arcay officer being detailed { to serve in a German regiment, and the , fact that he is permitted to join the West- t phalian Hussars shows the kindly feeling of the German Government, and that there is no jealousy on the part of the military authorities there. , Lieutenant Clarke is a kinsman of Lieutenant-General von Versen, the commander j of the Third Army Corps. General von Ver- j sen offered to sea what h9 could do toward j ??* :? r niorVo a ^hnnea to learn ! KCLHUIS by actual service the practical cavalry work of the German army, provided the con- ! Sfsnt of Mr. Proctor, the United States Secre- , tary of War, could bs securod. When the matter was laid before Mr. Proctor, the Sec retary of War gave his consent to the proposition. The matter was laid before General Von Kaltenborn, the Prussian Minister of War, and he gave his consent, and ac- 1 cordingly the detail was made. i The Westphaliau Hussars are stationed at 1 Dusseldorf, and there Lieutenant Clarke will join them. William Walter Phelps, the i American Minister there, called upon the i Minister of War and handed to him a letter 1 from Secretary of War Proctor thanking i him for his interest in the matter and for hi* kindness in consenting that an American officer should serve in the German army. PUT OUT OF COURT.A Marshal Ejects General Butler^ bj Order of the Judge. General B. P. Butler was ejected from the United States District Court room a few days since, by order of Judge Carpenter, who declared the famous lawyer to be a disorderly I person. General Butler had appeared to argue a motion in the case of his client, Mrs. John- 1 son, in a perjury case, and the Court re- ! fused to hear him. Words followed between the two, who are old enemies. The Marshal in attendance forcibly escorted the General from the room under the direction of the Judge. This is the sequel to several other spirited scenes occurring during the progress of the I same case. On the last preceding occasion i Judge Carpenter forbade General Butler's aauressmg aim. DRINK AND MURDfiR. ' A so!)?r man scruples to do that which a drunken man will execute without hesitation. Tiiese words embody the essential ' motivo that induces people to have recourse 1 to stupefying drugs and drinks. People em- j ploy laeci either for tiie purpose of stifling ' romoi se, after h-^Tiss; p?i"{or?l?d an cct>on < jjusapprove'i of by tlVr'r conscience, or else s in order to induce a state of mind in which they shall be capable of doing something contrary to the dictates of their conscience, and to which the animal nature of man is impelling him. A sober man has conscientious scruples to stsa1, to commit murder. A drunken man, on the contrary, is troubled with no such scruples. Hence it is that if a person wishes to do something which his conscience forbids him to do he first stupefies his faculties. I recollect being struck by the statement made by a man cook on his trial for the murder of the old ladv?a relative of mine?in whosj service he had been living. From the account he gave of the crime, and the man- ] ner in which it was perpetrated, it appears that when he had sent his paramour, the I maidservant, out of the house, and the time i had cjtne for him to do the deed, he seized a ' knife and repaired to the bedrcom where his < intended victim was, but sis he drew near he felt that in his sober senses he could not pos- i aibly perpetrate such a crime. "A sober man I has conscientious scruples." He turned back, t gulped down two tumblers of brandy that I he had provided beforehand, aud theD, and c not beforehand, felt that he was ready to do i the deed, and did it. Nine-tenths of the total number of crimes that stain humanity are committed in the . same way: "First take a drink to give you J courage." Nor is this all. Not only do people cloud ; their own faculties in order to stifle the voice of conscience, but, knowing what the effect of alcohol is. whenever they wish to make other people perform an act that is contrary j to the dictates of their conscience they purposely stupefy them in order to render them y temporarily deaf to its remonstrauces. In t war soldiers are always made drunk when j they are about to t>? sent into close hand-to- . hand combat. During the storming of Se- { hfi?tnrkfii nil t-.hn Wench soldiers were com- 1 pletely intoxicated. After the storming of a fortress in the Central Asian war, when the { Russian soldiers showed no inclination to 1 plunder and kill the defenseless old meu and ( children of the place, Skobeleff ordered them ^ to be duly plied with brandy till they were j drunk. Then they rushed out to accomplish ] the ghastly work.?Tolstoi, in Contempo- , rary Review. __ j iatest Domestic and Foreign Occurrences. c Lngry Spectators Wreck a Circus j at Knoxville, Tenn. t A circus and wild west show went to ' Inoxville, Tenn., for a week's stand.

The police were powerless, cores were knocked down and trampled on. be manager of the show got on a stand and ttempted to quiet the mob with a speech, >ut it was useless, and he, like the clown, ras knocked down. , At this point the riot spirit took com- < < land. Everything in sight was seized and rrecked. The band instruments were 1 nashed flat. The seats were torn down nd broken. Some one cut the ropes and lie big tent came down with a rush, burylg 200 or more people in its folds. 1 A rush was then made for the dressing- I ooms, which were also torn down, leaving , be actors and actresses half-dressed in the . pen air. The side shows were next attacked nd were wrecked.

The grip is rapidly decimating the Indians [n the vicinity of North Yakima; Washington. At White Bluffs nine died in one day, rod at the Moses and Yakima reservations the death rate is large. It is not so much the disease as the treatment that causes the great mortality. When afflicted the Indians go Into sweat-boxes and from there iurnp into a cold stream of water, which results in pneumonia. Four in One Grave.

In the Italian Chamber of Deputies a' Rome, the Marquis di Rudini was questioned in rpcard to Mr. Blaine's answer to the last | communication that the United States Seo retary of State bad received from the Italiai Premier on the subject of the New Orleam lynchings. The Marquis said that Italy could not admit the irresponsibility of the United States in regard to the acts of the singli States of the Union. This was a question which interested every other civilized Govjrnment as well as Italy. In conclusion, he said that he did not fear jolitical difficulties) between Italy and th? United States, but it was a matter of regret ;hat so highly civilized a country as the [Jnited States should not fulfill the duties )f justice and morality. This last remark ras greeted with much applause. 5EAETRENDING TEAGEDY, l Boy Accidentally Shot by His Brother, Who Commits Suicide. Two young sons of ex-Mayor Stafford, of Leicester.
