THE SHAME OF ENGLAND-
Labouchere's Effort to Investigate the
West End Scandal Defeated.
London, Feb. 28. Mr. Labouchere spoke
to his motion of inquiry into the Cleve
land street scandal, which had been made
part of the regular order for today iu the
house of commons. He alleged that the
case presented an official defect to defeat
the course of justice, and therefore he had
moved the reduction of the credits related
to tho administration of justice. He de
tailed the facts of the scandal and con
tended that tho sentence to one month's
imnrisonment for Veck was itself J
a scandal, because of the inade
quacy of the punishment to
the offense committed. The treasury
officials, having full knowledge of the
whole affair, had refrained from prose
cuting Xewlove and Veck until Sir Steven
son Blackwood, secretary to the postoflice,
had insisted upon taking action against
his own subordinates, the postal employes
involved. Then finding themselves com
pelled to prosecute these two men, the
treasury officials tried to prevent the ex
posure from going any further and tried
to hush it nil up. When Hammond fled
the police proposed to secure his extradi
tion from jJelciiini, where thej- had him
watched. Bota the chief of police and the
Fccietnxy to the postoflice urged the gov
ernment to obtain his extradition.
There was no legal difficulty in
the affair. The extradition could have
hern rendily obtained, but the Maiquis
of Salisbury," through a treasury official,
wrote declaring that he could not ask for
the exttadition. Tho Marquis of Salis
bury certainly knew that the treaty with
Belgium covered the offense alleged
nirninst Hammond. Why, then, could he
I ot ask for his extradition? Hammond
discovered he was being watched in Bel
li um and, informed of bis (langcr there,
jiurried away and went to America, and in
nil I this, as to information an 1 otherwise,
lie was assisted throuuh Mi. Newton, the
boiititor of Loul Arthur Somerset. The
object of the government was obviously to
hunt Hammond beyond the range of ex
tradition, that being regarded as the best
plan for preventing the makintr of revela
tions affecting ccrtan persons Opposition

When Monroe, chief of police, reported
to the treasury the evidence in the hands
of the police involving Lord Arthur Som
erset and others, the treasury ordered
rhc police to delist from watching the case
and Somer.-et obtaiucd at the horse guards
lour months' leave of absence to enable
him to quit the country. But he did not
quit the country. lie appeared at the
luneral of his grandmother, the Dowager
Duchess of Beaufoite. Lieutenant General
Sir Dighton Probin, a prominent member
of the household of the Prince of Wale-,
informed Lord Salisbury of this. Lord
Salisbury stated that n. warrant to
tako him into custody would be
issued; but lie caused tins discussion
to become known to Lord Somerset's com
manding officer, through whom this m
lorination was conveyed to Somerset.
Thereupon Somerset lied. Lord Arthur
Somerset was not only allowed to
lesigu his commission and leivo the
army as an honorable oflicer. but
at this moment is still a magistrate
for two counties laughter. Moreover he
did not hide himself, lie went to Per.i
openly and a-ked for an official place at
the court of the sultan.
Two men aie now in prison for their part
In these scandalous occurrence. But they
aro poor and obscure men; their highly
placed confederate is unmolested. The
government took care that the warrant for
his apprehension should not be issued till
he was out of the country. Cheers and
ministerial "Ob's." Mr. Labouchere said
his charge was plain enoueh. It was that
the Marqui-. of Salisbury and others crim
inally colisnimi to defeat the ends of jus
tice. Therefore he asked that the commit
tee inquire into the allegations. Laughter
mid cheers. He trusted that the iovem
inetit, whatever their delense, would not
put up a lawyer with a brief in his hand
to defend them by speci tl pleading and
tvasive chicanery. Mr. Labouchere with
drew his motion.
Sir Richard Webster, the attorney gen
tml, said he believed tho house would
nuree with him that there was not a
shadow of foundation tor these dis
graceful charges. It was absurd to
Mippose that the Marquis of Salisbury or
the treasury officials could have any in
terest to retard the prosecution in this
cae. Tho procedure, iu fact, took the
unal course. When the evidence was all
In it was lirst collated with a view to the
case against Lord Arthur Somerset. The
opinion of the lord chancellor was then
taken upon it and this opiniou was that
the evidence was insufficient to justify a
prosecution. Subsequently adaitional
evidence was obtaiued and this rendered
the issue of a warrant advisable: but he
had authority to stale that S.r
Dighton Probin. after his inter
view with tbe Marquis of Salisbury,
on this subject, neither saw nor comniuni
e ited with Lord Arthur Somerset, either
directlv or indirectly. The story told by
Mr. Labouchere to tbo effect that the Mar
quis of Salisbury had informed fc:r Dighton
Probin that n, warrant was about to be is
sued was mere gossip.
Mr. Libouchere, interrupting here, offer
ed to write the name of his mtoriuaiit on a
lip of paper and put the slin of paper into
-the hand of Sir Richard Webster, leaving
to Sir Krchard the cnoice of disclosing or
not disclosing the name to the house.
Sir Richard Webstersaid Mr. Labouchere
had direct authority to correct the allega
tion that the Marquis of Salisbury had
i-pokcn to any one regarding the issue of
the warrant.
Mr. Labouchere said be could not accept
Sir Richard Webster's assurances, nor did
he believe the Marquis, of Salisbury, whose
dentals were obviously untrue.
The chairman here intervened and re
quested the gentleman to withdraw the
words calling into question the veracity of
the premier.
MR. LABOUenXRE SUSPENDED.
wr. Labouchere declined to withdraw
his words and the speaker named him for
suspension and called upon the house to
adjudge upon the conduct of the member.
Upon divisions the suspension was carried
by 177 to SG.
Air. Labouchere, in leaving the house,
said he regretted the fact, but his con
science would not allow him to aay that he
believed the denial of the Marquis of Salis
bury, rcheers from the P.irnellites.
Mr. W. H. Smith demanded tUat the
house should express an opinion on the
motion, notwithstanding the withdrawal,
and should say that the motion was im
proper and the charge false.
The vote against Mr. Labouchere's mo
tion was 103 to SO.

The Business Condition of Trade Generally
Discouraging Collections Fair.
New York, Feb. 23. R. G. Dun cc Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Unreason
able weather and growing doubts about
the monetary future do not help business
and reports this week are less encouragiug.
Yet it must be remembered that the reports
of dealers everywhere are liable to be in
fluenced by disappointment of past, hopes,
so that they consider trade unsatisfactory
because it" is not up to their expec
tations, because distribution docs not
suffice to clear away stocks though the
amount of transactions may be largtr
than a year ago. To the trader who bought
0 per cent more thau iu any previous
season, but has only sold ."5 per cent more,
business is unsatisfactory. The prevail
ing tone just now is one of discourage
ment. Boston notes little improvement.
The Philadelphia dry goods market lacks
life. At St. Louis the distribution of all
seasonable goods is fair in volume and
collections satisfactory. The boot and
shoe trade is barely active, but there
is little trading iu wool. Trade is
reported good at Omaha, only fair at Kan
sas City, and up to the average at St. Paul
and many other points. Collections are
generally reported fair.
Tho movement of breadstuff's is still
heavy, and exports both of wheat and corn
greatly exceed' last year. After a drop of
about a cent iu each, wheat recovered to

Isabella, tho Vagabond Queen.
It is difficult to understand w by tho Span
iards, proud, sensitive people, should have
submitted so long to a ruler whom they could
not respect. Her good natured, happy-go-lucky
nature seemed to cast a charm over
them; they could follow so easily all the
workings of her mind, whether, with childish
petulaucy, she was reproaching her ministers
with betraying her, or confessing with re
morse she had w ronged them. If her sins
were open, so was her repentance. Year by
year, when holy week came round, this wo
man who, for the other fifty-one weeks had
been outraging every law, human and divine,
kneeled iu church for tho hour together, and,
with loud sobs and groans, proclaimed her
sorrow for the past, her rosolution to make
atonement for the future. Her subjects, see
ing her sorrow, sorrowed too, and when East
er day arrived were as convinced as she was
that a new era of her life was at hand.
The Maundy Thursday ceremony never
failed to win for her hearty adherents. She
washed the feet of tho beggars with such
manifest zeal; spoke to them such kindly,
loving words; served them food as if she
thought it a privilege to do so, and, at the
cioseof the feast, cleared the table with a dex
terity that showed her heart was in her work.
Her splendid robes she always wore full
court dress upon theso occasions seemed to
enhance the touching humility of her atti
tude, and, although the free thinking part of
the community scoffed at what, they called
the popish mummery of tho whole affair, that
was not tho feeling with which tho bulk of
the population regarded it.
One year, while she was serving at the
table, a diamond fell from her head dress on
to the plate of ouo of the beggars. A dozen
hands were stretched out to restoro the jewel,
but the queen motioned to tho man to keep
it, remarking simply: "It has fallen to him
by lot.' Her generosity was unbounded; it
is not in her nature to say "no"' to a beggar,
while the one point upon which she made a
firm stand against her ministers was in in
sisting upon her right to exercise mercy, and
the hardest struggle she ever had with them
was apropos of a pardon granted at tha re
quest of Rastori. Gentleman's Journal.
Usins: tho Teeth.
The law of deterioration from disuse ob
tains with the teeth, as well as with other
things. The constant and regular use of
them in masticating food tends to make them
continually grow harder and stronger, and
better able to resist the influences that make
for decay, while- on tho other hand, living on
soft food und neglect of mastication makes
them tender, softens the enamel and renders
them easily susceptible to corroding effects.
This is sometimes especially shown in the case
of people after a long illness, who find their
teeth tender and soro when they begin to re
turn to a diet of solid hard food.
A dentist, speaking on this subject, says:
"Some men have healthy teeth all their lives
because they were given good, hard food dur
ing infancy. That is the period to begin tc
pave the teeth. Mothers and nurses give
children soft food, utterly ignorant in many
cases of the result. Crusts and hard stulT:
should be given to children as soon as they
can eat them. In this w ay the teeth begin to
grow healthy, aud gradually harden with
time and use. The chewing gum girl gives
her molars plenty of wholesome and unwhole
some exercise. But chewing gum is not espe
cially healthy, because only part of the teeth
are us.l. It is jaw exercise more than any
thing else. Bus in eating hard, wholesome
food all the teeth come in contact with tho
substance. Tobacco chewing is not healthy
for tho teeth, because the tobacco is generally
placed in one location, like chewing gum, and
there remains, until thrown out. The south
ern negroes have better teeth than most an;
race, because they use them from chilhood
up in masticating hard food." Good House

There are present in the Horticultural ball

The traveler's tree, a native of Madagascar,
is a species of palm with long leaves, used by
the natives to cover their huts. Tbe peculi

THE 0KIGIN OF BOODLE.
ITS ANCESTOR CAME OVER WITH
THE DUTCH OF NEW YORK.
Its Genealogy, Like Its Meaning, Is a Trifle
Donbtfol How the "Word Is UscU by
Counterfeiters and Other Criminals Ita
Present Sense Is of American Origin.
Notwithstanding the genealogy of tho word
"boodle" cannot at present be definitely
traced, its derivation can be pretty clearly
fixed. The parent word, or root form, ap
pears in old English, Friesic, Dutch and Ger
man. The identity of thosa words is apparent
from the similarity of spelling, sound and
signification.
Tho new Century Dictionary contains the
word boodle, and refers to a Seventeenth cen
turv word, huddle, which it S3ys is the eame
as our boodle. It adds that, although tho two
words are probably one and the sa.me,"boodle"'
may bo corruption of the word caboodle.
This, however, is not a tenable In-pothesis, as
caboodle is itself a corruption arising from
the old Now England slang phrase, "kit and
boodle,"' signifying the whole lot. This waa
the original form, and the transformatron
into "kit and caboodle" naturally grew out of
a mad desire for alliteration in sound.
how riouiES USED IT.
The Seventeenth century use of the word
buddlo is illustrated in ilarkhani's "Book of
Honour: "uilen curiously and carefully cho
sen out from all the 'huddle' and masse of
great ones for their approved wisedome."
The meaning hero is the whole. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, m the "Autocrat," bus the fol
lowing: "He would like to have the wholt,
boodle of them (I remonstrated against this
word, but the professor said it was a diabol
ish good word), with their wives and children,
shipwrecked on a remote island." Here
again the w ord signifies the whole lot. Al
though it is a "vile word," as Polouius would
say, it is still a "diabolih good word." It is
not a nice word, but whon the "Autocrat"
was written, some thirty-five years ago, waa
still in good standing.
Among criminals the word seems to have
been first used by counterfeiters to signify
the spurious coin. Tho "Dictionary of Slang,
Jargon and Cant," published in Loudon,
18S0, says the word is used in the United
States among thieves to denote only counter
feit coins or bills. Technically it is never
used to denote genuine money used for nefa
rious purposes. The "boodler"' is he who
carries tho counterfeit or "queer"' money,
whilo the "shovor" is ho who passes it off.
"At tha first sign of trouble the boodle car
rier vanishes, leaving nothing to criminate
his companion rogue." Among confidence
men of the species called in some places
"Mag's men," the word is used to denote a
roll of paper skillfully rolled in and covered
by a greenback or bank note. The roll is used
in their confidence games. Among gamblers
"boodle" is sometimes used to describe the
pile of coins gathered in by the winner of the
game.
It seems pretty certain that the word has
been and is thus used among criminals with
these technical meanings. In its evil sense
"boodle" is defined as "money fraudulently
obtained in public service, especially money
given to or received by officials in bribery or
gained by collusive contracts, appointments,
etc., by extension, gained from cheating of
any land.'' And again: iibooty, profit, per
quisite, plunder, commonly used with regard
to government contracts, etc., by which the
public are cheated."
It h also pretty well agreed that the word
in this senso is of American origin. The
"Dictionary of Slang, Jargon and Cant," be
fore referred to, quotes:
Twas Yankee Doodle once, I swore,
But It is Yankee Boodle now.
Which sounds as though written by an
American exile in Canada. But though ita
American origin may bo allowed it has be
come domesticated in other lands.
But while tho word as we have it is thns
identified with the cant of criminals, it still
remains to show how tho criminals got it.
THE DUTCH WORD.
"Boodle agrees in pronunciation with tha
Dutch boedei, signifying estate, possession,
inheritance, household goods, stuff, from
which, so Tho Century Dictionary says, it
may havo been taken in tho Elizabethan
period in the general sense of tho "whole lot"
or whole property. Tnero is also n German
word beutel. signifying a purso, which corre
sponds, by the way, with tho word buddle of
the same sense sometimes used in England.
There is a Friesic word budel, denoting an '
estate, especially a bankrupt estate, and I
there is also another Dutch word buidol, i
meaning a pocket. Tho old English bottel,
signifying a bundle, is probably of tho same
., :i,"- i
All these are cognate words aud are either
different forms of the samo word or arc vari
ations of a, common root. It is not probable
that the New York criminals, among whom
the word "boodle'' is first found, got it from
an English source. The meaning of "huddle," i
as rrscd by Markham, or of "boodle," as used j
by tho Autocrat, was not sufficiently fruitful .
of criminal suggestion to thieves and coun- j
terfeiters, although etymologists would find
little difficulty in establishing a family rela
tionship between the "boodlo" of Holmes and I
tho "boodle'' of city tonncilmen and other j
gentlemen cf easy virtue. But thieves are
not troubled with etymological niceties. They J
take what they find, words as well as boodlo, 4
and the New York criminal probably found '
in the Dutch boedei, which came to New Am- i
stordam with the Hollanders, a word which
survived amid political and linguistic trans
formation, preserved its meaning, "stuff,"
and finally fonud its way into the criminal
vocabulary aud took on the technical mean
ing we have seen. From this, like a river
lost underground, it emerges when it is want
ed, considerably soiled, it is true, but still a
most useful member of the family philolog
icaL
An examination of the Dutch influence in
New York will probably strengthen this hy
pothesis of the origin of "boodle" a3 we am
it. The word "stoorr' will be called to mind
by many. "Blickey," signifying in Now
York and New Jersey a tin pail; "bockey,r
denoting a vessel made from a gourd, a Dutch
word used only in New York, whde "boss,r
another significant word originating in New
York city politics, is probably only another
form of the Dutch baas, signifying master or
overseer. Thero are, howcv er, English words
which may be tha parent of tb.s latter.
Altogether it scans reasonable to believe
that the Dutch ioedle, wandering from its
homely uses and put to the evil service of
thieves and counterfeiters, has returned like
tho prodigal son to the company of its re
spectable brothers. The use to which we have
put the word is one to waicn it hasbt-en fitt?
by its km experience among tha criminal
classes. St. Loms Pcst-Dupatch.

A Remarkable Tombstone.
The tombstone here pictured is totally un
ike, it is believed, any other tombstone in
the world, aud was placed in position oidy a
snort time ago in Woodlawn cemetery, Now
York, over the grave of a noted horseman,
by his daughter, who was formerly a noted
oquestrienne.
Bafore her marriage Mrs. John Stetson, tho
wife of the famous theatrical manager, was
nell known to the world as Miss Kato Stokes,
a daring, skillful and beautiful queen of tho
ear. dust ring. Her father, S. D. Stokes, w as
one of tho most noted horse trainers and
riders of all tho American circuses, and when
he died, a little timo ago, Mrs. Stetson cast
about for a suitable design for tho monument
which she desireu. to erect over his grave. She
gaid to tome of those whom the consulted that
as neither she nor her father was religious
bho preferred not to have a religious subject,
and after some consideration she decided that
as Mr. Stokes had spent his life among horses,
and was al ways passionately fond of them, sho
would have the statue of a young hore rising
at the word of command. She commissioned
Mr. E. F. Piatti, a sculptorof New York, toex- j
ccute the wor k, and after a consultation among
several artists as to the design one was se-

How well he has done his work the picture j

time sinco the papers of this state gave fidl
accoantc of the death of ifail Carrier Mal
colm F. McLeod, who peri&hcd while in tho
performance of his duty between North
Bloomfield and "Washington, iu Nevada
county.
F. B. "Whiting, a prominent attorney of
Plumas county, then the proprietor of Wai
ting & Co.'s Feather River express, gives us
the particulars of tho following, ne was at
that time engaged in carrying the express
from Orovdle, in Bufcto county, to the vari
ous mining towns in Plumas. The tremen
dous floods had partially inundated die great
valleys of tho Sacramento, Fenther and
Yuba, and at tho same time tronsf ormed into
lakesthe small valleys of the mountains. This
j rendered travel impo&ible, and tbe people of
1 Plumas wero cut off from all news of tho
great conuict men raging rxKween tno nortn
I and the south. Tho cage ruuss for news and
j the high prices paid for papers rnado it a
great object with tho express companies to
take more than ordinary chances in getting
matter over the mountains.
During tho month of January Mr. Whiting
was confined by the high watr for a wholo
week at Buck's ranch, while his faithful mes
senger, Bob Owen, was obliged to remain at
Buckeye, some fourteen miles over tho moun
tains. Owen was a sterling son of tho Pine
Tree state, and realizing the great anxiety of
the people to hear the latest news of tho civil
v.ar, he watched for the first chance to cross
tho summits. The storm slightly abated, and
Bob strapped his snow shoes upou his feetand
his saddlo pockets and mail bags upon hr
back and started upon hrs perilous trip. The
long continued r.Uns had swollen every little
creek, and through thee Owen was obliged
to wade, for tht're were no bridges or foot
logs across the small creeks. The water was
Icy cold, and poor Bob had not gone a mile
till ho was drenched to tho skin. Slowly and
wearily ho plodded on hour after hour over
Walker's plains, past the Old Pnlmetto and
up Soaptono lull, each mile increasing his
altitude till he was nearly eight thousand feet
above the sea level. Tho cold winds upon his
wet clothing made him shiver as though with
ague. Once passed Frenchmin'shill his trav
eling was a little easier, but tho day was fast
disappearing and ho was yet somo miles from
his (lebtmation.
Alone amid tho black forest, almost
doubting hrs ability to hold out till he conld
reach Buck's, he could but think of tho
many who had perished while crowing this
high ridgo of mountains, no recalled poor
Bom, who had htrugglfd so rnanf felly: he
thought of the unfortunate Frenchman
whoso tragic doatu had given his name to
the mighty peak ho was th-u dfending; he
counted up the names of those who lwul died
on thi3 road from hunger and exposure, and
paid to himself if a croas marked tho grave
of each, as is tho custom in some countries,
there would bo nt least one for every rafle of
distance. The rtorui had now returned ita
fury, and Owen had to face thh as hf
struggled along under tbe heavy lad of ex
press and maiL H at last reached Buck's
valley and congratulat-wl himself that a mile
or two further wouid end hit bard trip
Of this ho was heartily glad, for h" was
well nigh worn out from hrs grat exertions
and exposure nil day to the storm, berfdra

having to wado nurubries streams of ieo

upon a bridge, and said to WaHf one mpro
