"If tho object now be to unite the people of the north and south as brethren in the Union, as a means to that end every sign of past conflict Bhould, as far as practicable, be obliterated. To retain as a point of prido a flag captured in battle by either the Union or Confederate soldiers would be equivalent to renewed exultation of triumph by the one or the other, and surely not a step toward the restoration of peace.

The time by half mtlea is as follow*: Baltimore, Md., July 1.—Blanche Cook, a colored girl, about 11 years old, made two attempts Wednesday to kill the member* of Albert Whalen's family, by whom she was employed. It seems that Mrs. Whalen, after having put up with a great deal of annoyanoe from the girl, finally determined to discharge her. Blanche was so notified. This seemed to anger tjte girl very much, presumably because she had several times before been sent to her home in disgrace. 35 cents. N*w York, July Only twice during recent years has favor been shown to prisoners In Ludlow street jail to the extent of allowing a man's wife to share his impriaonmont Both of these exceptions wore in notable cases. The first was when gay, handsome, fashionable Mrs. Ferdinand Ward remained with her husband to nurse him through the illness which overtook him there. The second ease 1s that at present before our eye*—the frail, loving old wife of Jacob Sharp sharing his confinement. Washington, July 1.—The presidont has pardoned Thomas Ballard, tho notorious connterfolter, who was sentenced in January, 1875, to thirty years in the Albany penitentiary. Ballard is now a broken down old man, mentally and physically. The president says: Hewers' Oat Flakes, "When the Confederate government evacuated Richmond many flags captured in battle were deposited in the war office in Richmond. So far as I know they were all left there, and found United States troops when they entered the city. This would at least exhibit proof of the fact that the south did not wish to treasure up such evidence of any triumphs it ever had over the north. "His wife, who has clang to him with a true woman's devotion all these years and who has almost worn herself out in. her efforts to support and educate her daughter, just now reaching womanhood, pleads for her erring and penitent husband's release." a lb package, xoc.

She begged to be retained, but finding Mrs. Whalen determined, she resolved to be revenged. She hunted around the premises for some means of accomplishing her pur pose, and in a cellar, among a pile of rubbish left there by a previous tenant, she found a bottle containing a solution of blue vitriol. This sho carried up stairs and deliberately poured a quantity of the liquid into the ice water nsed by the family. BUTTER, To one upon whom such a burden has never come, the presence qf Mrs. Sharp in tho county jail with her convicted husband seems only a most natural and easy thing, but it is proving to her a burden almost greater than she can bear. Mrs. Sharp remains beside her husband every night—and •11 night—sitting by his bedside, eagerly anticipating his every wish. Albany, July 1.—Tom Ballard, king of counterfeiters, entered the Albany penitentiary on Jan. 21,1875. He is now but a pale, sickly, decrepid shadow of the young man, alert and quick in movement, strong of arm and vigorous in health, who twelve and a half years ago stood in the prisoner's dock in the old city hall here and sank as though shot when a sentence of thirty years' imprisonment at hard labor was imposed upon him. The Intervening years, with his two attempts at suicide, have broken bim down completely. Ballard was the most daring and successful counterfeiter in the United States or any other country. He was born in Poaghkeepsie in 1845, and was ono of Ave brothers, all of whom engaged in that business. 3. "The south has manifested no desire to have possession of the flags lost in battle. Their value departed when they were surrendered. Whether they should lie and be consumed by moths in boxes of the United States war office, or be returned to their former owners has one element of value, which is that the restoration would be a declaration, such as the old Romans made, that there should be no triumph for a victory won in civil war. So far as it should express the feeling of restored fraternity, it would be an advance toward that condition which all reasonable men will recognise as desirable among those who are to live together."

Only two heat* were run, Gossip, Jr., retiring at the end of the second. Both were won by Harry Wilkes with ease in very slow time. It was said that Gossip, Jr., was in no condition for a race, and the entire affair is characterised as a hippodrome. P. F. Frits, the owner, drove Gossip, Jr., and Frank Van Ness held the lines over Harry Wilkes. Time,  2:21.

THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION Reinstate » Clerk Who Was Dismissed Revenge byYoison alone seemed to be too mild for Blanche, so she attempted later in the day and before she was arrested to asphyxiate the whole family by turning on the gas. This attempt was also discovered before any one was seriously Injured, and the young wretch was lodged hi the station house. : Imported Sardines Wahiiingtox, July 1.—Tho civil service comntissiou has inado an important order in regard to what constitutes partisanship in tho service. The caso in point was that of Edward E. Neal, c% Indiana. for "OffDiiaiva Partisanship." In 1874 Tom Ballard was caught in Buffalo in the midst of his business. When arroated he was in the act of perfecting a counterfeit plate of (10 bills on the North American bank, of Montreal. It was a perfect facsimile. He admitted it was the beat plate he had ever made, and that, had he not been interfered with, Canada would have been flooded with counterfeit bills which could not have been detected from the genuine. A number of plates were captured, and all the apparatus was taken possession of by the officer*. PRAYING FOR RAIN. The Alarming Drought Prevailing In Rock Ills., July L—The religious meeting at Cambridge Tuesday, at whioh prayers were offered up to heaven for rain, has been followed others of a similat character, though perhaps not so largely attended, in different parts of Henry county. In many localities where stock and crops are suffering and almost perishing for water the farmers are In despair, and while the more religiously inclined find consolation in prayer and hope in the result thereof, the others in whom the faith abideth not are driven almost to desperation. Wells have been dug wherever there was the least indication of water below the surface, in order to supply the famished stock, but for the crops nothing but rain can provide, and unless that comes soon there will be a total loss of late crops this scasou. Henry County, Ills. iac per box. "What can I do for you, my childf she said. There was no smile on tho delicate, pale face, and tho voico was weak and almost broken, but the look as well as the tone was that of a gentle woman, whose first thought, eve I In her trouble, was that she could "be of use" to somo one else. The unconventional speech made the conversation that would so easily have been strained natural and free. Mrs. Sharp very soon' spoke of her "dear husband," as always calls him, in the Undercut and most unaffected way. At the same time she «poko feelingly of the burden that they have been carrying together and which has seemed so unnecessarily seven. "They are killing us both," she said, passion Ately. "We are old people now and every stroke tells upon us." Mrs. Sharp speaks of herself in this way, as if she wore very near tho end of the days she might expect to be granted her, but no one seeing her for tbe first ttrae would think other as being "old." Indeed, a man who has seen ber a number of times about the jail, spoke of her as being about 48 or SO yeais of age. Her hair is quito gi ay now and is worn in soft waves about her face. Her eyes aro gray and clear, real womanly eyes. Her nose is straight and fine, and the whole type of face is, as near aa it may be expressed, that which ia always recognised as belonging to "a Now England tady." Not the strong, determined New .England woman's face, but the quiet, refined, somewhat pensive countenance that follows years of repression, thoughtfulneas and care. Iu height Mrs. Sharp is about Ave feet two or three inches, and in figure neither generous nor Slight. In short, taken all in all, the wife of this man whose name ia on every tongue is just the woman whom his disgraoo most cruelly hurts, but whoae love wiil outlast it all. Dignified, sympathetic, loving and a Christian woman, it is small wonder that the bond between them should be so close. How close this bond has been Mrs. Sharp's own words tell beat Speaking of their happy life together she said: In April Neal, a clerk in tho adjutant general's office, war department, was dismissed tho sorvice on account of activity in politics. It appears that he was a Republican candidate for the legislature and declinod, at the instance of his superiors, to -withdraw his name, whereupon he was dismissed. The commission hold that Neal was only exercising his rights as a citizen, and that unless his candidacy detracted from his efficiency as a clerk, which was not alleged or shown, bis dismissal was improper for the causes stated. The commission therefor* holds that Neal is still a clerk of the department and ia eligible for examination. At her examination yesterday Blanche first denied point blank all knowledge of anything being wrong with the ice water, but after much questioning she said that she had put blue liquid in the water which had been given her for that purpose by Emma Reed, another colored girl, who resides next door. IMMS, The prisoner waa removed to the Cayuga county jail, from whence he escaped on Dec. 19, 1874, scarcely two weeks after his capture. He was recaptured, however, on the following Monday at Homer, Cortland county, forty miles from Auburn. On Jan. 15, 1875, Tom attempted another eacape. It was found that he had made a key to unlock the door leading to tbe attic, another to unlock his shackles, while tbe patent brake which secured the oell doors on his tier was sawed almost through. Behind the attic door was a rope made of sheets with which*, to lower himself to the ground. Sugar-Cured, iac per lb. Emma being summoned, denied having done so, which iioomsd to shock and grieve Blanche extremely. To Assist the Centennial Celebration. TRY OUR TEAS, at 18c.; 4 lbs for Hi. Washington, July 1.—The president has decided to leave this city July lii for Clinton, N.

It is not yet determined who will constitute the party, or how long the stay win be, but the president expects to rttum from Clinton direct to Washington. "Had Neal noglected his duties in the interests of his candidature," explained Commissioner Oberly, "that would havo constituted partisanship, but his more candidacy dlduot." The need of rain is also severely felt in certain parts of Rock Island county, and in some cases tho suffering of the cattle Is pitiful. was a light rain yesterday, and while it only moistened the parched vegetation, it was hailed with delight A 20-pound Box of Laytr Raising for $1.45.

His offer was not entertained, and the next morning he was conveyed to the penitentiary. Several years ago the government sent an agent to see what merit there was in the processes, the secret of which Ballard had offered to the government for his pardon. But he refused to part with his secrets unconditionally and the matter fell through. Usten to Words of Advise froip Chief Happy Thought Soap, Ottawa, Ont, Jsly 1.—Grand Chief Engineer Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, speaking at a public meeting of the ofder, held here yesterday, sold there should be no conflict between capital and labor. Labor had its rights, but no labor organisation had a right to prevent others from working. It was a right given by God that a man could quit or a man could work, but when labor organizations tried to prevent others from taking the place of strikers they made a great mistake. Capital also made tbe mistake when it tried to tyrannise over men. He said: "B6 honest, truthful and do your duty. Ms not wealth or good olothes that makes a man; it is oharacter, and he who has that is the peer of any man on earth.'- The Brotheroood of Engineers;was a distinctive labor organisation, and he thought it stood out prominently as tbe organization whose principle commend it to the consideration of every fair minded, honest man. Mr. Arthur's remarks elicited many outbursts of applause.  Engineer Arthur. The Belgian Forger Tries to Kseap*.
