Secretary Blaine 111. Washington, August 9. Secretary Blaine's leaving the city has been hastened by his being affected by mal arial. He will start for Maine to-morrow unless the president should be worse, secretary-Kirk wood returns to-morrow and Secretary Lincoln on Thursday. - New York, August 9. Much sur- piise was ft It here l.-day over the an nouncement that Dr. Aunw had left tha White Ilouae, while Dr. Hamilton came home last niglit without any intention of immediately reiuru- ing. Dr. Hamilton was surprised when the statement was made and said tha . the understanding-had been that Dr. Agnew should remain until Wednesday niglit or Thursday, and that he, Dr. Hamilton, would return on Thursday, r possibly nat until Friday. He had received no dispatch from Washington, and had had no reason to change any of his plans. The general public has never thoroughly understood the location of the ball from the technical accounts given by the physicians, and this Dr. Hamil ton was asked to explain, so that it might be understood by every one. He said : Medical terms are definite and ex :;ct and have nothing exactly corre sponding to them in ordidary language. 1 will btate it as fairly as I can and if you are going to quote me you may say this simply. The ball uitered the bod through tha eleventh nb, break ing it, and about four inches in front of his spine. It was then turned downward toward the hips, inside the flesh which coinpcsfes the loins but back of the liver, kidney and intes tines, and probably now lies just with in the bares constituting the pelvis about five inches above the groin. The doctor in his willingness to explain the course of the ball an! it.s present location placed hij finger at the point a little above the right seam of his vest buckle belt as an entrance point. From that spot the course of the ball was downward and forward amongst the muscles of the back and side. It now lies in the right si)iface af the bodv abou' paral lel wjth thi; loj; f,f the trousers pock et and a'iout an inch to tht left ,f fhe upper hip bone and about two inches below the surface. "There" said the surgeon, as he thni3t his fwiper in at the point indicated as nearly as possi ble and which is immediately r.ext the rounded part of the bone on a direct liim f;oin the navel, "is where we be lieve tliif baU t;; be and there is where some of the physicians almost positive ti.ey could feel it." The Coming Reunion. We learn .'to.ii Vi.a old soldiers who are looking forward anxiouU' Jo the coming reunion of the old veteans of Nebraska, who fought for tho flag in days gone by, that the reunion in this eity will be the largest outpouring of people evfer icef! in Lincoln. The com- mittea on n; it;U u.t. ii- received :d- dresses from almost eveiy stale. o il.j Union, and they are satisfied that not less than twenty thousand stranpvrs will be in the city during each day of the reunion. The veterans of the First Nebraska, though a little more sedatf than when "the twi.,; of war resounded through the land," are stiii pv??ed of that en thusiasm which led them to foiiowi!;? Hag through the weary march and tur moil of battle. Years have rolled away since then. The object for which they fought has been attained, and -ie.ace oiailes upon our teeming land. Our veteran Sobi;ci '.yijl assemble on that day from everywhere to imm o;i?e more old acquaintances, and recall the story of the struggle and triumphs of the past. Let every old soldier be pres ent, and let the occasion be one of the li;ost, complete and harmonious enjoyment.- iLi:uJi)Jn Journal. . The Shooting of Spotted Tail. The Indian bureau, Aug. 8th, receiv ed official information of the shooting cf spotted Tail by Crow Dog, at Rose bud Agency, i;;t;irday.

He had been ordered by tiie Indjan bureau to come to Wash ington wilii ,it Indian delegation to be theie on the loin. ;., Wed t;ii! was coming as a representative of tl.e Sioux Indians, and Crow Dog was jealous of his prominence and influ ence.

Menu i:i Minnesota. A severe storm swept over the nor thern part of Minnesota, August 4th, which extended as far as Menominee, Wis. The greatest damage was done in Minnesota. For ; time it really ap peared the city of St. Paul wa Jp be swept away by a genuine cyclone. A house in process of construction, own tfd by Frank Lee, was wrecked. Light ning struck tho bam of Andrew Paul son, which Y.us totally destroyed. The county surveyor, v. ho was in Brook lyn township when the stotr,j struck that point, states that the sound of storm could be distinctly heard for some time before its arrival. After its passage it was found that the damage was confined to hay an 1 grain stacks, which were leveled .nd scattered all over the country. Small grain in fields and stacks was blown down and badly damaged. It js impossible to learn the damage done in ll;s !i;;e of the storm, for the wires were wrecked in zyery direction.

Doubtful if He Made The 'Machines I a fern a I." Special t the Evening Telegram. Chicago, Aug. 32 p. m. British Vice Consul Warrack. in this city, sajs that no instructions or papers in regard to Crowe, the alleged manufac turer of infernal machines at Peoiia, have been forwarded to him lrom Washington or elsewhere. The special this morning from Peoria says that the whole affair was a hoax. Crowe is still in that citv. and it is considered doubtful if he had any hand whatever iu the manufacture of torpedoes. The erroneous reports have Ueu traced to a man named J. F. Hogab, an inti mate friend o? Crowe's, who was sup posed reliable. Peoria, Aug. 32 p. m. There hs been considerable misrepresentation in regard to the standing character and acts of Pat W. Crowe, the fenian of this city. Crowe has been employed as a lamplighter by the gas company here for the past three or four years He is a skallow-pated Irishman, who inherits all the lingual characteristic of LJs race without common sense. Troubled with un itch fqr notoriety, he will go to unwarrantable lengths to bring bis name into prominence. The secret of the infernal machine was disclosed by Crowe himself, who took advantage of the alleged discov ery of some of the machiues in Eng lish ports to air his own importance. Since the publication of tha discov ery of 'lie infernal machines in this city Clowe has seized ou every oppor tunity to advirtise himself and has succeeded admirably. It Is true that there are infernal machines now here that weie made here. One of them was taken to the Journal office, of Uns city, in order to compare them with the dtiiiii ipl i'ii 'if those dis covered in Liverpool. A few hours after it was removed there it was sent for by the maker and was al lowed to be taken away. It is now said that Crowe, acting in collusion .:th O'Donovan Rossa ai d four others, obtained control of the skirmishing fund, amounting to abou" 620,000. and that these castings were made to lead the conlribuiois to be lieve their 'money wits' going' to some purpose. In person he is insignificant looking and the last man in the world to be the prim moi-;';" of any revolutionary enterpiise. The man's itch for fame, or his desire to absorb a portion of the skirmishing fund has induced him to start these untrue reports. This is all there is to it. It h aiiiUaiiig 1$ y' tha disserta tion on civil service reform, a if, un der our form of Government, such a thing were possible. It will be time to talk of that reform when a Pres ident does not "pipe lay" for rtnom ination the first six years of his term; when United States Senators are not i dependent upon State legislators for their otuces; when represent rtives ip Congress do not require the aid of postmasters, internal revenue collec tors, United States marshals, and ap praisers to secure their election; when Governors do not whip in every State ofi'eer from penitentiary commissioner to justice of the peas to sijt) them in their aspiration: So long as the cau cus and nomi-ating conventions ' are all-powerful, and so long as offices are given as a rewaid for party fealty, as they always will be while parties ex ist, civil service reform will be the theme qi Lhcse who cannot get office to whine about. A party that does not reward those to whom it is indebted for its supremacy will soon cease to exist, and a party controlling all the official patronage of this country is a hard thing to displace.

Temperance is no longer a tabooed subject at collt-ge commencements. This was demonstiated at the late commencement of Knox College. John V. Ewai ts, the valedictorian of his class, iu his eiosing address to the citizens of Galesburg, made a stirring appeal to them for the sake of the college to banish saloons from the city. All thinking people voted this a great improvement upon t lie mean ingless platitudes frequently indulged in upon such occasions. A similar appeal, even more impassioned and earnest, was made by Miss Emma Everest in her address to the Alumni upon the relations of Knox College to the Community. The best essay of tl e Ga'er.burg High School also gave no uncertain sound for temperance. Chicago Signal. iYliy We arc Prokilii Roasts. The Pilgrim Press of Washington, D. C. publishes the following as its "temperance treed:" 1. It is tha only tenable position. The tragic is a sjn against God and a crime against man To legalize it is a sin and a crirn. 2 It is the only consistent position. If no true christian can sell liquor, no true christian can license it. 3. It is the only practicable position. The attempt to regulate the sale of liquor is a farce. 4. Any other position makes the Government partaker of the crime of selling. 5. Any other position m:skes pvery citizen both a partaker of theciime and a protector of the criminal The only w.iy io regulate lire iu a conflagration is to put it mi! ; lh. only way to regulate water in a flood is to turn it off; the only way to regulate yrlhs;v fever is to MUitiantine it. The only way to regulaie liquor manufac ture and liquor 'dealing' is to stop it. That if? our temperance creed Church Temperance Society. Tha Teinpeianco society recently organized in connection with the Epis copal church appears to be getting on, some twenty of the more important Bishops having given it their sanc tion. In some of the Diocesis socie ties have been organized, and there is every pro.eut that wiih the opening of fall the work of the organization will be prosecuted with vigor. Ac cording to the resolution passed at a a recent meet ing, Mr. It. Graham, of the Church of England Temperance Society, is to be invited to become a special agent of the Society in this country f-r cap car at a Salary of 4,000 provided the money can be previously guaranteed by gift or pledges. Of this amount nearly half is already promised. Provided, also, a special fund is contributed and placed in the hands of the society's tret'j'.irer fcr the pu-paiid oi ueriaying expenses. 11 was. by resolution, thought expedient to publish a month ly paper, at least for one year, for the purpose of advocating the Society's work and giving information respect ing its progress. The committee cr. PMb'ipatio;; js einpawerod io laue the publication us soon as ther may think advisable. All parties in the church are joining in the movement though the High Church men appear to come into it with less eagerness. The Fascination of Drink. There is a deadly fascination about (lrinkincr. "What is fascination y" ask etl a littio girl of her science master, lie replied, "Dr. Malachi Foot would say 'fascination is the power to awaken feelings of pleasure so great as to ab sorb or swallow up all othei feelings, and even fears, and that too at what seems lo be i he most trilling cost.' This feeling goes on little by little, enfold ing the p-.-fsr-.M i;i a delightful but numbing trance, till one is lost in for getfulness, and often it ends in death. Thus a snake captures it.s prey by 'fas cination.' It fixes its flittering eyes with hungry hope on a Ink singing in mid-air. It then throws its body ij; graceful curves and raises its tail, and makes a constant waving motion, soft and inviting. The bird se;-s ami is in terested. Its ees OTice caught b comes ensnared in the endless wavs of mo tion. Litlle by little it loses control of itself and oraws uiuv ihw ground overcome bv simple delight. Then it Mutters hel lessly into the serpent's folds, where it is slung and devoured. Precisely so it is with the fascination of drink.. Do you know any words that ran prove itV "Oh, yes," replied theeiii. "Wine is a lyjocker, strong iiriiik is raging; and whosoever is de ceived thereby is not wise. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright, at the last it l iteth like a serpent and sting ttl; like an ;jd:er,"' "Very u.id" said the master. "How can we best avoid the fascination of drink and its crav ingV "I shall, anyhow, said Mary, "absinin from drink all mv days, and try and lead others to do the same."
