Tax Waite Hovse.—The improvements of the White House which have been going forward all summer are now nearly completed, and the building will be ready for occupancy in a week. ‘The President and family will not return, how ever, until the first week in October. ‘TRE EXAMINATION Of applicants for admis- sion to the Naval academy will take place at the academy, at Annapolis, between the 20th and the 30th of the present month. The names which bave been sent in “3 Congressmen enti- ted to appointments reach about one hundred in number. Service CuEVRONS.—The War department has issued an order that the service chevrons prescribed in General Orders No. 92, of 1872, to be worn by enlisted men will conform in color to the arms of service in which the soldier served. If he has served more than one enlist- ment, in different arms, the service chevron will be of different colors to correspond. Prrsoxat.—Secretary Fish is at his house in New York, and will not return until about the first of October, -** Vice President Wilson arrived in Boston on Saturday, from the White mountains. Mr. H.

MOVEMENTS OF THE PRESIDENT.—The sil- ver anniversary of the Aztec club, of Philadei- phia, was celebrated at the residence of its president, General Patterson, last night by a banquet. General Grant, Geveral Hooker, ani and other prominent military men were pres- ent. After the banquet General Grant left for Pittsburg to attend the reunion of the army of the Cumberland.

Wagoner, vice Earl Farr, removed. A NATIONAL CHEESE COMPLICATION.—Some time time ago cheese to the value of $5,000 was purchased in Baltimore on account of the United States quartermaster at San Francisco and were shipped by rail. The Central Pacific railroad refuses to deliver the cheese until it is refunded the freight charges on it which it paid to the Union Pacitic railroad. This the govern- ment refuses to do, as it is now by authority by Congress withholding the moneys due by it to these roads for the purpose of applying it to the ayment of the interest on the government ponds issued to them. Instructions have been forwarded to the United States district attorney of San Francisco to enter suit for its recovery. SEcRETARY BIcHaRrpson APPROVES THR Seat Lock Rerort.—Secretary Richardson has made the following indorsement on the re- port of the committee to decide upon a lock for custom purposes:—“The within report is ac- cepted, and the committee will please accept my thanks for the able, disinterested and pa- tient investigation they have given tothe sub- ect.

W. Hughes is ardently desired by Presistent Grant, r fvery one connected with his administra- tion.’ ARMY Ovricers anp EvipEemics.—The fol- ‘owing order was issued by the War department to-day: ‘Officers of the army absent from their -tations, in sections of country infected by epi- demic disease, or from stations that cannot be reached without transit through infected locali- cles, are, after their leaves of absence shall have expired, authorized to delay starting to jom their commands until the epidemic shalt have subsided. When advantage ix taken of the foregoing, the officer will, by letter, report to his department commander, and obtain from him the date on which it wi pals e will be proper to start Tue Recent GaLz on THE NorTHERN COAST—A Revenue Cutter Sent to the Relief of the Castawcys.— The Secretary of the Treasury ordered *he revenue cutter Levi Woodury, from Boston, to the coast of Nova Scotia to assist in saving the men and vessels wrecked in the recent great gale off that coast. Capt. Frank Barr, commanding the cutter, in his report to the Sec Says: “I found twenty-two schooners ashore inisid: La Boer harbor, and six on the beach outside, not being able to get into the harbor. I examined those outside, of these, two were total wrecks. These vessels had all been covered up above high water and could — be relieved by pigcing Ways under them and launching them. Finding myself unable todo anything for the vessels, I turned my at- the men, but found none left en the loyed in wrecking.

Tue Yecrtow Fryer iN SAREVEPORT AND Mempuis—The Disease Still Raging.—The re- rts from Shreveport are most heartrendering. Stx hundred persons are down with the fever, and there are but few to take care of them. The city is almost dese: , Save by the sick and dying. One telegraph’ operator fled at the ap oan of the pestilence, and probably saved bi: ife; two remained and died; another camp and went home sick, and one stili holds out. The fever is believed by many to be the Mexican yomito, and to have been introduced by the em- ployés of the trans-atlantic circus. D. Pianne ry, superintendent of the Howard Association a* New Orleans, telegraphs that nothing bu’ money ‘is needed. Apothecaries, physicians, and above all, nurses, are the wants, and these are being supplied by the New Orleans Howard Association. A private dispatch from Shreve- port reportsthe death of Kev. Father Queme. Trois, and the serious illness of Key. her Pierre. Subscriptions of relief have been cont from Philadelphia, Cincinatti and New Orleans. ‘There is no abatement in the yellow fever in Memphis, though its ravages are almost ex- clusively confined to the northeastern portion of the city, where it first appeared. There is decrease in the death-rate. Physicians are ad vising all that can to leave the city, and the trains in all directions are crowded. ‘ne wild- est reports are circulated through the country in regard to the number dying, but it is safe to say that since the disease appeared the number of deaths from any one cause has not reached twenty on any one day, and since the flight of the horror-stricken ones there is less excitement than during the prevalence of the cholera. The yellow fever is reported at Fulton, the terminus of the Cairo ana Fulton raitroal,in Louis also at several smaller towns ’in Northern Louisiana. ANNUAL Session OF THE GRAND Lopor, I. 0.0. F.—At the annual session of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, yesterday, in Baltimore, a scheme was presented by Past Grand Sire Stuart providing a suitable and safe depository for the valuable archives of the lodge. A reso- lution was adopted to theeffect that no member of any subordinate lodge shall vote upon any question in which he may be intereste inal action on the proposition to complete a full his tory of Odd Fellowship was pestponed. 1 proposed amendments to the constitution we then taken up, and the following was adopte I of the constitution by add ing the following: “That if at any time the Grand Lodge shall determine that the next sac- ceeding session shall be held at one of the cities ‘so far south as to render it impractica- ble to hold it in September, then they shall bave power to determine at what date said ee: sion shall be held.” The other proposed am ments were indefinitely postponed. ‘The tre rer’s report showed the following exhibit ceipts for the last fiscal year, $51,414.19. Th expenses fer the last year haye been $5,410.1 than the previous year. Kepresentatiy. Harmon, of California, on behalf of Represen tative White, of Nevada, presented to Grand Secretary Ridgely a silver brick from his (Kep resentative White’s) mine. At the afternoon session the subject of arrearages and pass words were considered, without reaching a conclusion DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT AT WHOLESALE Mv pER.—While the Good Templar lodge was session at Mill Run, Saturday night, an explo sion of powder occurred beneath the floor of the 001 house in which the organization met th sufficient force to tip over the tables an! lamps, while the fire burst through the crevices in the floor and filled the house with a stilling smoke. A further examination by daylight re- vealed the fact that the building had been lifted enough to allow the foundation to be pushed out of place. A powder can, that would old about tweuty-five pounds, was found under the house, torn to pieces. The floor being a double one, it was strong enough to withstand the shock—even to slightly lifting the house and pushing out the wall—thus enabling the powder to expend its force literally, and thwart- ing the evident intention to blow up fifteen or — men and women.—Haftman's (Pa Journal. ALLEGED DeLiveraTe Artenrr To Run Down A RatLroap Traty.—On Satarday last Attorney General Pond, of Ohio, received a let- ter from passengers going west ever the Cleve- land, Mount Vernon and Columbus Railroad, stating that, while crossing the track of th: Baltimore and Ohio road at Mount Vernon, the engineer of @ freight train on the Baltimore and Ohio road made a deliberate and malicious at- tempt to rum into the first-named train, and only missed the rear car by about ten feet. The conductor of the Baltimore and Ohio train denies the story, and declares that the engineer of the other train is the one who violated the law re- quiring trains to atop at crossings. ‘The Batt- more and Ohio authorities have ordered their men off duty until the affair can be fully inves tigated. The Attorney General will take cog: nizance of the matter, and prosecute the guilty parties. HEAVY Fresuet in Texas.—The Rio Grande has overflowed its banks for the first time since 1869. The upper country is inundated. There is three feet of water in the main plaza in the city of Camargo, and an almost unbroken shect of water from Brownsville to the Gulf. The cotton crop is destroyed. The track of the Rio Grande and Point Isabell ratiroad is washed away for over six miles, and almost the entire line Is submerged and ruined. The poles of the telegraph company’s lines to Brazos are swept off. The mails are stopped and stage commani- cation with the interior is suspended. “Lonp” Gorpon Gorpow has been captured by a Manitoba detective and placed in jail at Winnipeg. The trial of the American prisoner+ charged with kidnapping Gordon is progressing at Manitoba. Keil, the man who made himself *o tprominent in the half-breed rebellion at Fort Garry, will arrive there to-day, having been summoned asa witness. He is said to be guarded ty three hundred half-breeds, weil armed, and bloodshed is expected if he enters town. ‘The Canadian party regard him as a murderer, and declare that it isa disgrace for him to appear in court as a witness. A CALivorNIA MURDERESS.—A_ witness against the youthful Mrs. Gersbach, for mur- dering her aged husband at Martinez, Califor- nia, testifies: “She made all the attempts at poisoning herself. She put the laudanum in a coffee-pot an hour before dinner, and set an other cup in that to cover itup. Her plan was to stupefy him and then Pry his mouth open and pour more laudadum down his throat. ave him the croton oil also.” The old man, however, was tough, and one of the wo- man’s paramours had to shoot him. Senator Mitcaery, Inporsep.—The reso- lutions adopted by the Oregon state republican convention say that whatever may have been the misfortune or shortcomings of Senator Mitchell in early life, the convention does not pass —- upon them; and express the be- lief that by his many years of constant upright and bonorable conduct he has outlived any im- putations cast upon him; that not only the re- publican Barty, but a large majority of the people of Oregon have entire confidence that he will faithfully represent them in the Senate. How He Gor His Parsents Back.—A young man in Lawrence, Mass., who was pay- ing attention to a girl, gave her some trinkets as tokens of his*actention, incladi ring, bracelets, earrings, etc. Seeing her the other evening with ‘another feller,” he walked up and di led his love-tokens back, and— being ial police officer—informed her that ‘€she did not comply he would take her to the police station.
