WAsHINGTOY, June 8.—[Special to Tre Ber.|—It will be remembered that the “Widow McGinnis' created considerableof a sensation in New York recently by establish- ing a lottery for the patronage of custom house and other employes, through. which contributions were made to the campaign in the Empire state. 'The trick has been pop- ularly referred to as the “Widow McGinnis' Pig’ The object was to collect contribu- tions for campuign funds in federal oftices where the civil service law has effect, and at the sume time to avoid prosecution. A sim- ilar trick to that of the “Widow McGinnis' Pig" has been discovered in Washington. 1t i8 run at the pension office, and is for the po- litical benefit of the commissioner of pen- sions. A few days ago the pension office em- ployes were astonished at receiving the fol- lowing circular, dated Baltimore, May 21 1888, and produced in imitation of type- written work: Dear Sir: We take pleasure in an- nouncing _ to the many admirers of General John C. Black, the iilustrious war hero, and tho present honored United States comnissioner of pensions, that we have just complete? and are prepared to issuc a mag- nificent crayon portrait of the general, litho- lied in photographic tints on Hue_plate r, 22298 inches, and closely resembling a ifo-aize photograph. Regarding tho excel. lence of the likeness and artistic execntion of the work, wo beg to refer to General Black's letter to us, a copy of which is printed on the accompanying order sheet. Tha price of this picture, which will grace any parlor, has been placed at the sum of §1 Pper copy, 80 a8 to put it within the reach of all.

Address.. WASHINGTON, May 15, : Your Mavor of May 14, enclosing copy of artist- proof of lithograph portPait, in photographic tints, of myself, has just been received. Per- mit me to thank you for the picture, and to say to you that my friends (with whose jud ment I am entirely satistied) declare the pi ture to be a good one—an_excellent one—a accurate likeness and artistically produced. 1 have the honor to be, Yours very truly, Jonx C. BLACK, ‘The lithograph advertised in this circular is of the same general design and workman- ship that one finds in show pictures which are strung in the windows everywhere, and ‘which cost from three to six cents each. It is stated that the cost of these lithographs of General Black may have been as much as eight. or ten cents each, since the order was mot very large. It will be seen, therefo) that there 1s an _enormous profit. do not charge General Black with any connection with the production and sale of these lithographs; I would not say that he derives any benefit from them: but there are men in the pension office who do not hesitate to say that somebody other than the firm who makes these pictures derivesa benefit. Gen- eral Black has conducted a campaign for the wvice presidential nomination which must have cost him some money. It will be necessary 1o have some money, also, to orgunize the demoeratic purty in Illin the native state of the commussione: There are wany men inquiring now: “‘Canit be possible that this is a Widow McGinnis’ Pig scheme ! Be it what it may, the arrangement is bringing in quite a lot of shekels, and clerks in the pegsion of- fice are not only solicited in the usual way to buy these pictures, but they are urged to buy copies each. ors of the Panama canal enter- prise have rocently sent out profile maps showing the progress of the work upon De Lesseps’ ditch, and these maps have not served to convince those who have insisted that the project was a failure that their views ‘were incorrect. The best engineers in Wash- ington insist that the canal can never be comploted without bankrupting the company and the subscription of an enormous amount of fresh capital. Should it ever be com- leted the toll would have to be so great as make the Panama route almost impractic- able. There has just been received in Washington a plaster model of the pmpasufi route of the Nicaragua canal, and this model has served to give impetfs to the proposition to incor- porate the Nicaragua Canal company by acts of congress, und has attracted the attention of members to the feasibility as well as the fmportance of the project. Said amember of the house commerce committee in speaking of this subject to-day: ‘‘After all, the kin- dergarden system is as good an educator for statesmen as for children. This model will do far more good as an object lesson than ofluldhbc weompunhod by printed matter und chosy While there is a good deal of opposition to the proposal to incorporate the company, there is, at the same time, a great dealof ener; #nd vim among the men who have undertaken it, and if the matter is ever reached in the house the proposition is cor- tain to go through on a square vote. But, owing tothe massof other matter which crowds the caleudars, and to the persistency of other interests it is doubtful if congress will take any action this session, and while the engineers of the Nicaragua company are busily at work running their lines and carry- ing out the preliminary portion of the cnter- prise, it is not likely that any of the real work of constructiug the caual will be doue for another year to come. e A great deal of comment has been heard lately over the course of the agricultural de- partment in an attempt to defeat the will of congress in the matter of the eradication of discases of farm animals, The pleuro-pneu- monia bill in the senate, known as the Pul- ill, { enacted into law, result in transferring 'some of the power of the com- missioner of agriculture to a board to be gre ted under the act. This does not suit theaview of the commissioner, He strenu- ml:y objects to all interference with his pas aud prerogatives, and Le Las been attempting to iufluence members through the grangers of this country by induc- ing the latter to send memorials opposing the bill, One of the bitterest oppo- nents of the Palmer bill bas been a farm newspaper published:in this city, which Las worked vigorously in opposition to the measure from the time it came up for discus- sion. The peculiar thing about this news- paver is the fact that the publication oftice cancot be found. The paper states that it is ublished in an office on ¥ street, but search lor the publisher had failed to reveal his 06 snywhere about the building. here is & tin sign on the door, but the owner of the b& ng says he has no knowl- :dc of the publisher, and none of the ten- sats nor the janitor can give any information 88 t0 where he can be found. It is generally belioved that the commissioner of agriculture bas something to do with the sheet. Our consul at Shaugllai writes o the stato t about opium smoking in Chiva, indicates that the beast ractice is on increase with the ocelestials. He say “Aside from the heavy duties imposed upon the imported oplum, which amounts to about £150 per chest, there appears to be no res. triction to the free indulgence in the habit £ven the eloquent warnings denouncing the habit and picturing the frightful degradation and misery that the opium smoker ex- periences before death removes his wretched hody, which twore formerly so frequently posted in public places, are rarely scen at the present time and the manderins who are for- bidden to smoke opium under severe penal- Lies are much aadicted to the bit, the regulations being _prac- tically of no importance. Opium smioking is & habit that may be inherited or acquired. Often the beginner takes a pipe now and then socially, and before he is aware of it he lias become so attached to the effect produced that he can not give it up. Others try a pipe as medicine, hoping to find retief for their ailments, and in this way_80on become victims to the habit, for it quickly takes hold of the system and few have the power to rid_themselves of it when once acquired. Itis an expensive habit to begin with, and out of all proportion to the average income of the Chinese, It also con- sumes a great amount of time, and the ro- clining position adopted in smoking tends to Iaziness, and utter demoralization seems to be the one rosult of inyoterato smoking.” The expressions recently made by the sen- ate and house committoes on public lands re- gardmg land forfeitures indicato that there will be no logislation on that subject in this congress, 'The senate wants to take moder- ate steps, while the house, as usual, is in the extreme. Men who really want the govern- ment to securo the unearned lands granted railroad companies aro at a loss to under- stand why the house for six years has stead- iy demanded more than the moderate men of the senate are willing to grant. They say it is better to recover the lands by picco- meal than to not recover them at all; that to forfeit the lands not earned is better than to declare that none have been earncd, and raise a question which will defeat the re- covery of any of them. This is not the only subject which has been agitated to a great axtent in this congress which will fail. There 18 to be no legislation on general pen- sion matters, banking and currency, patents, consul and diplomatic affairs, the telggraph, postal saving banks, monopolies, territorial statehood, copyrights, shipping, inter-state commerce and many other questions which are very fmportant to the country. The wonderful republican victory in Ore- gon in the late election continues to_be the subject of congratulation among republicans. It 18 looked upon as the forerunner of the up- heaval against the presidents message, which is expected in November. Senator Mitchell asserts that the campaign was conducted upon the square issue of pro- tection against interference with American industries proposed by Yhe Mills bill. The election of a republican majority in the Oregon legislature by a vote of nearly two to one in- sures the refurn of a republican United States senator, and will, in all probability, result in keeping the control of the upper branch of congress in the hands of the republicans dur- ing the Fifty-first congress. 1t is thought t00, that the victory insures the vote of the Pacific slope eclections for the republican ticket in November, as there is no section of country so radically affected by the Mills bill as the states of Oregon and California, A CROOKED POSTMASTER. He Beats the Government and Several Fellow Citizens. Li1vINGsToN, Mont., June 10.—J. J. Mc- Bride, postmaster at this place, ieft last Sunday morning without stating his destifia- tion. It now transpires that he is a de- faulter to the government to the amount of several hundred dollars, ~ besides owing private indcbtedness to @ large amount, Other acts of financial crookedness are being discovered. He in Helena on Tuesday morning, from which place anumber of checks with Helena indorsers have been received at the National Park bank of this city. * Efforts are being made by his_honds- wen for his apprehension and arrest. He was seen yesterday at Great Falls. His wife, who is here at the Catholic academy, educat. ing herself i music and art, alleges’ that he cruelly mistreated her, and she will sue for divorce. He was appointed by the present administration a littie aver a year ago. Tt is believed that he is making for the Canada line, The authorities and the vic- tims of his bogus checks are making efforts to effect bis capture, but he had a good start, and it is doubtful if he will be overhauled. The amount of his defalcation as postmaster ‘will foot up £600 or $700, and he undoubtedly obtained as-much as that {rom various citi- zens in Helena ou forged checks. — - —— TURKF AND TRACK.

EASTYAN, Ga., June 10.—Last Christmas eve, in Appling county, Horace lseo and Lucas Grat had a dispute and each armed himself and they tried to fight it out, but were prevented by friends, until finally it was agreed to fight a fair fight, When Bee gave up the pistol he had in his hand Grant threw down his gun, and immediately and without warning Hee drow a_second pistol from his hip pocket and fired throo times and killed him. Bee was tried Saturday and was Jound guilwy of murder n the first degree, and Judge Atkinson has sentenced him to be hanged in July. - The Peninsular Storm. MARQUETTE, Mich., June 10.—Reports re- ceived from thirteon places in the upper Michigan peninsula agree that last night's storm was unprecedented in severity and the smount of rainfall. No approximation of the damage is yet possible. Houses are undermined and in some cases swopt away, culverts and bridges destroyed and miles of fen and stdewalks swept away. Although several railroad culverts were destroyed, no accidents occurred, but travel is gencrally delayed on all the peninsular roads.

Several Omaha Churches Pleasantly Observe Children's Day. MR. SCOTT TALKS TO PARENTS. The Necessity of Proper Training In the Home Dwelt Upon—At the Seward Street Method- ist Church, Seward Street M. E. Church. The services at this church yesterday morning were very appropriate and consisted of singing, scripture reading and recitations by the children. The address was delivered by Rev, Mrs. Andrews, a Univershst minis- ter, and a lady of great ability. Mrs. Andrews’ address was very fino indeed, three essential points being made and three objects impressed upon the minds of the children, viz.: The good, the true and the beautiful, all of which lead up to the house not made with hands. To accomplish these three things it was necessary, said the speaker, to think, to work and to pray. Superintendent B. R. Ball conducted the morning service. The church was beautifully decorated and among the many handsome designs which at- tracted peculiar attention was a frame seven feet long punctured the entire distance. During the collection, which will be devoted to educational purposes, as each little one deposited his or her mite they placed tbeir little bouquets of flowers in this frame in regular order. When completed the motto, “Lend a Hand” stood out before the gaze of the admiring congregation. During_the service twenty children were baptized by the pastor, Rev. C, W. SBavidge, among the number being’ his little six- months-old son Robert. In the evening the pastor delivered a ser- mon to the Young People’s Society ot Chris- tian Endeavor, from Samuel 10, 28: ‘“‘And there went with him a band of men whose hearts God had touched.” The speaker first defined the objects of the society. ‘‘You are a band of young men and women whose hearts God has touched. You are one of the divisions of God’s great army, and a large division at that. The number of members at present, is 300,000 souls. You are a body of young people having the form and seeking the “mwar of godliness. I have peen inter- ested in the origin of the society and am truly convinced that you are born of God, as was the great Sunday school movement under Robert Raikes. On February 2, 1881, in Portland, Me., there was a great revival of religion, and _at that time the pastor, Rev. F. E. Clark, organized this society upon very nearly the same basis as it stands to-day. Your growth has been most marvelous. In 1881 there were two societies with a membership of sixty-cight; now there are 4,000 societies with a membership of 300,000. Each one of you seems to be- a missionary to increase your numbers and power. Your object is to promote *an earnest Christian life in our hearts. To augment your usefulness you fix a high standard of religion and strive to at- tain ft. You rally the youth of to-day, who are the hope of to-morrow. For the Chris- tian church you take one of the most solemn pledges that can bind human hearts.” Here the reverend gentloman quoted the pledge as follows: “Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for strength, I promise Him that I will strive to do whatever He would like to have me do; that I will pray to Him and_read the Bible every day, and that just s0 far as I know how, throughout my whole life, I will endeavor to lead a christian hfe, As an active member [ promise to be true to all my dutics, to be present atand to take some part, aside from singing in every meet- ing, unless hindered by some reason which T can not conscientiously give to my Lordand Master Jesus Christ.” “In conclusion,” said the speaker, ‘“‘your characteristics are life, your thoughts devo- tion. My closing words to you are ‘Go on.’ Be genuine, Live out the teaching of your order and may God make you an hundred fold more than you are.” St. Mary's Avenue Congregational. The regular children’s day exercises did not take place atthe morning service hour at St. Mary’s avenue Congregational church yesterday, as was the custom generally throughout the city, but. they took the placa of the regular evening services. Rev. Willard Scott, the pastor of the church, de- livered a very interesting talk to a congre- gation that crowded the chureh in the morn- ing on the raising of children and their attendance on church services when young and their entering into life’s work. Owing to the illness of the pastor during the past weak his address was more of an informal talk than a sermon. He referred back to the time when their church was fiest built and stated that then the children had to be brought to church to make a show- ing of a congregation, but that siuce the con- gregation had become so large the children were left at home to make room for the older mewbers. Hespoke of the relation of the children to the parents and the formation of the household, ~He touched upon the subject of baptism and its bringing the children at birth into the church as members of the household and clristian paren He touched the thr ces to children in the e Jesus said “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid thewm not, for such is the kingdom of heaven ;) where ho said to Simon, *reed my lambs," and where the disciples are spoken of as going forth to feed the lambs, meaning the children of the world. Ho referred to the customs of raising children among some of the heathen nations, aud closed his remarks with some very plain sugrestions as to the development of the child’s life, showing, first, that the period of child life as recognized by law, twenty-one years, is too short for the full development of ouc's intellect and powers. Second, the authorlty that parents snould exercise over their children; third, the limit of parental solicitude, that it should not grow cold after the years of a child’s infancy but should follow the child through all its early life; that parents shoul not love their chldron as infants and forget them as boys and girls, but that the family fhould be as & unit in love and sympathy as long as they are on this earth, The children's day exerclses drew a large crowd in the evening and amid the perfumes of the beautiful vases of cut flowers and blooming potted plants that gave to the pul- pitof the church such a bright June appear- ance the little children, with their sougs, ro- citations and readings, made many a fond purent’s heart glad, Knox Presbyteriau Oburch. It was Children's day at the Knox Presby- torian church, Nineteenth and Ohio streets, and a very pleasant service was held. The ladies of the congregation had contributed liberally from their colle tions of house plants and the interior of the church presented a very pretty appearance, A large number of persons were present to enjoy the exerciscs. This is only the second service held by this congregation in their new quarters and was eminently a happy one. The pastor, Re Paul Martin, is delighted with the outlook for the church. The 80th of last October the congregation consisted of ounly thirteen souls. There are now about forty members and the next communion there will be twenty- one addition: e date the Sunday school numbered but twelve scholars, but it hins rapidly od until v. there are ubout exghty, Verily, the church is enjoying kuown in the secular world asa “boom." The Lesson of Successful Labor, This is commencement weck at Brownell Hall and the first feuture of the same was tne anniversary serman yesterday at Trinity cathedral by Canon Doherty, the rector of the iustitution. He selected for his text Psalms 1 “Except the Lord build the house, they laborin vain that build it.” Upon this he based his consideration of the lesson of successful labor. God works in the affairs of man as well as in the domain of nature. The fate of man is the ordering of God. We proposé. Hedispases. All huilding that is ot on tke sand. and all work which en- dures, must be burlt by the hand of God, as well as outwardly by the hand of man. The thought of God working with us ennobles labor. The gqutioman without occupa- tion, and the “‘lady ,whose time is unemployed, fiud, no countenance the divino Carponter of Nazareth, The thought of being a co-workerwith God, in the labor of the hand or brain, increases the sense of responsibility. Our work should be of an enduring character, We sre doing it in the the sight and with the co-operation of God. the fault of our time 18 6 sacrifice quality %o quantity in our work. To economy we are willing to subordinate skill, The com- binations of capital or labor are all economie and not educational. Our professional men are no better. Te an eager desire to reap the harvest of work, they sacrifice the spring- time of preparation. They are master mo- chanics, when they ought to_be apprentices. This defect must be romedied in the schools. Their motto must be less work in a given time and more thor- oughly done. French in five lessons and science in fourtoen weeks, will not do, The idea must be included i the minds of the young, to aim at excellence rather than to hanker after reward. Those who work only for pay are but disguised beasts who hunt after prey, All successful work, be- sides being honest and thorough must be consecrated by a devotional recognition of the hand of God as its author. is_is pre- ominently true of the teacher's work. His should be consecrated skilf. To those on the . throshold of life's work, as this gradunting class now is, the thought of consecrated skil is a worthy one. Have faith in work. Have faith in God. Work without Faith is dead. Faith without work is dead. The dual com- bination is the perfection of successful living. BROWNELL'S CLOSE. The Interesting Programmes For To- day and To-morrow.

Father Maturin, of Philadelphia, Re- mains an Episcopalian. [Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxpoxn, June 10.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bee.|—A few days ago a special cable dispatch from New York announced Rev. Mr. Maturin, rector of the Eplscopal church St. Clements, Philadelphia had joined the church of Rome. Hearing he was in England to-day I visited the So- ciety of St. John in Cowles, not far from Oxford, where he was said to be a guest. St. Johns is a' small, unpretentious red brick building on the highroad. Entering it I found the corridors and rooms filled with carvings and paintings illus- trative of ecclessinstical history. I was cordially received by Rev. W. R. Benson, founder and head of the society. His clean-shaven face, sedate expression and flowing black robe presented a rather medi aeval clerical. “And so rumor in America has it that Father Maturin has gone over to Rome?” said he smilingly. *“Well you enter- prising Herald people may contradict it What's more, he has no idea of going over He is simply in England on a six months’ holiday and at the end of that time will return. He came hére for his holiday simply because this -was his home before he went across the Atlantic. At present Mr. Maturin is here on a visit to friends.

Two thousand people, mostly ladies and children, went out to Grant park recently, says the Atlanta Constitution, to see Prol. Alphonse King walk upon the waters of Lake Abana. On the little stand in the center of the lake the professor’s water shoes and bicyele were deposited, The shoes are of his own invention, and in shape resembles a fish, They are thirty-two inches long, eight inches high and are surrounded by what appears to be fish fins which work automatically. The shoes are ac- companied by a rudder which enables the professor to turn around. In the center of the top isan opening into which he sinks his feet. In the shoes he uses no balancing pole, neither does he when on the bigycle. The bieycle, too, may be = deseribed. It is made of two cylinders pointed at both ends, surmounted hy a seat and wheels very similar to thoso of the ordinary bicycle. The wheel has small paddlea upon it, and when it is put in motion they st the water be- su the two eylinde 1 propel the hine.

In the same week another slaver was captured after a hard fight, in which a number of the forty slaves on board re- ceived bullets intended for their captors. That the export slave trade on the castern African coast is still active is attested by the fact that in_ two years nearly fifty of these slave dhows have been captured; yet the punishment in- flicted upon the guilty slave stealers does not deter others from engaging in the perilous but profituble business. Recent facts collected by the agents of the Anti-Slavery society of England show that slaves were never cheaper in Arabia nor more numerous than they are at Prosnut. There has been a great revival of the slave trade in the Soudan and the followors of the mahdi have sent many hundreds of their captives to the const to be dispatched across the Red sea in the night to marketsin Arabia. Even the daughters of wealthy Khartoum merchants have becn con- signed to this terrible fate. The mar- kets for which the dhows ship their loads of boudsmen at many an unfre- uented point along the coast of the Red s and the Indian ocean are mainly in Arabia and Turkey. The present khedive of Egypt, who owns no slaves, and who pays wagesto the bonds- men whom his father left behind bim, is apparently powerless to provent slave shipments from parts of his western const, wh ears ago, he or- dered kept clear of slavers. -~ om Beneh to Pulpit.
