OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Stationary or riling barometer; norlhweit to touthweil Kinds; coohr, followed by warm, e!ar weather. Til new Sultan of Turkey is in the shifty-sixth year of his age. Til Indians are still wielding the tomahawk and scalping knife with ferocity. Admiral Rookrs has authorised publication of the fact that of the Cadets at the Naval Academy who recently resigned, John Q. Mason, of Ohio, and W. B. Osterhont, of Pennsylvania, were not accused as principals, but became involved as witnesses. The way in which Mason was unfortunately drawn in. to the matter has been explained in this paper, and the explanation has been sufficient to relieve him, in public estimation, of the gross criminality which tht charge as at first presented implied. It is understood that Mason and Oater-hout will bs reinstated by the Secretary of the Navy, to answer such charges as may a preferred. Tax fast train which for three days has bean rushing across the continent like a tornado, arrived at San Francisco yesterday morning, twenty-six minutes ahead ef time, without accident. It accomplished the journey in about one-balf the time allowed the regular trains, and would doubtless have arrived at the Weetern terminus several hours in advance of schedule time had it not been for wash-outs and damage to Some of the apparatus of cars which had run clear through. On the Facifio roads the most remarkable time was made between EvaDBton and Ogden seventyfive miles in seventynine minutes. One run of fourteen miles in eleven minutes was Blade. This trip will create a demand for faster travel than has been the rule between New York and San Francisco. It is not within the bounds ef reasonable expectation that regular trains shall run at the speed of this special train, which has probably incurred heavy expense, and which has made its way with a degree of leckleesness not altogether compatible with the average article of nerve ; but if the railroad authorities would split the 4ifference between the special time and the regular time, the public demand would be satisfied. '! The startling news of this morning is the announcement of the suicide of Ab- Jul Atis, the dethroned Sultan of Turkey, t is stated that the ex Bultan, under casntal derangement, gave the life cur-tent an outlet with a pair, of Bcissors. This statement is made without reservation ; but nevertheless, until full particulars are received there will be at least faint grounds for suspicion that the Hate Sultan war murdered. There is no kindly feeling for retired I royalty in Turkey; there is a decided antipathy to having rejected rulers lying around. When an obnox-.' lout head is disposed of in that country, ' lie generally gets his quietus in more - wajs than one. Since the dethronement It seems to have been accepted as a nat-; ural consequence that theex-Sul-( tan's life would be in danger, i and the telegraph has from time to time advised us that he had been confined In a place of Bafety. But whether Abdul Asis committed suicide or was killed, his career does not present material for a firet-olass obituary notrce. H was a lecherous and extravagant individual, whose good points, if he had any, were darkly overshadowed. He was born February 8, 1830, and succeeded to the throne June 25, 1861. He attended the Paris Exposition in 1867, and before returning home visited the Queen of Eng land. His trip did not materially affect bis tastes. He re-established the royal harem with twelve hundred inmates, and , (lunged into extraordinary extravaganoe in the way of amusements and the decoration of the palace. His palace expenditure it represented to have been $10,000,- ' 000 annually. It cost about $2,600,000 to support his army ef servants. His private establishment was so extensive and complex that it would not teem that be could have much time to attend to the affairs of government. , Hia nominal civil liat was $6,700,000, and the balance of the 10,000,000 which he an. nually expended was accounted for by deception. The royal prodigality led to several revolutions. TOM SCOTT AND JAY B0ULD. Extraordinary anatfuneat of their Presidential riaaa What the Wonderful Barn Bays They Want. Washington L.tt.r in New Torlt tun 1 Of course Tom Scott is not staking his an on tne success ot me Democratie parly in 1876. He is no politician, but, like jay uouia, ne is "a .Democrat with Democrats, a Republican with Republicans, doubtful with the doubtful, and a Texas Pacific man all the time." He is UBing the same means to control the Republican Convention at Cincinnati that he is employing to manipulate the Democratic Convention at St. Louis. His ticket to be made at Cincinnati has Blaine for the fore end and either Hayes or Bristow for the rear end. If ' he gets Blaine for the first place he will not le particular about the fellow who rides behind, but as Bristow was at one time President of the California and Texas Construction Company, be would probably prefer him. All the influence wbioh this adroit manipulator, this unscrupulous manager of 7000 miles of railroads can command, is now being used to run in the interest of his jobs the two great political parties of the oountry. Truly this is something to cauae the believers in republican institutions to Dause and reflect, especially in the Centennial year of the Republic. Blunders of tha London "Times." Resident correspondent of th. N. Y. World. London, May 20. The Times, with all Kb merits, nas a rare aptitude for mak' ing comioal blunders. Every little while a careful reader of the paper sees, stuck down in an obscure corner, a paragraph headed "Errata;" and these corrections are sometimes more funny than the original blunders. The other day it an nounced that the date of some Roman re maina in the city was fixed by the words "B. U. 61," engraved upon them a dis covery which would go far to show that there were prophets, and very remarkable prophets, in those days; and on Ties- day it stated that "the cause of the death of Susan Milligan, on whose body an inquest was held, was hemorrhage before and after death." There are a great many Irishmen on the staff of the Times. THE 9BIAT UNKNOWN. Yesterday the Times informed us that the National Prohibition Convention" had nominated "Messrs. Green. Clay and Smith for President, and George T. Stew art ior v ice-rresiuent. Auisuoimucn worse than its comical blunder a few weeke ago, when, in a dispatoh from Philadelphia, it informed us that Mr. Kil-bourne, "the agent for the real estate of Mr. Poole," had refused to exhibit his books, Ac. Soap on the Stairs. Chi.ago Tribune. A gentleman residing on Aberdeen street was, until Friday last, inclined to favor female snRraae. rlis wite bad pru dently delayed moving till after the 1st, so as to take advantage of the fall of house-rents. The house to which they moved had a tremendously steep flight of stairs, and an oil-clothed hall. The wife had the stairs scrubbed down, and left the soap on the top step. Her husband was up Btairs, with a basket full of clothespins in one hand and a clock under the other arm, when his wife, who was down stairs, buw a mouse, and shaking her skirts madly, bounded up on the table and let off a series of shrill shrieks beginning on high ZZZ above the clef. Her husband, thinking the house was on fire at the very least, started to run to ber rescue, and, stepping on the piece of eoap that she had so thoughtfully left on the Btairs, sat down vehemently at the top of the flight, and slid down with the speed of thought. Fire flew from hia false teeth as he hit the edge of each step, volleys of clothee-pins were discharged into the air and fell rattling and rebounding on the oil-cloth, and the clock shed its inwards over the universe. The injured husband bad little time for reflection when he reached the glare oil-cloth of the hall and shot across it with ecarcely diminished velocity, literally making the oil-cloth and the seat of his pantaloons amoke with friction, and finally bringing up against the door with a violence that threatened to buret the side out of the house. The fearful concuBsion startled his wife, who turned a back somersault from the table into a tub of soap-suds, in which she was so tightly wedged that she bad to throw a handspring and canter on all-fours like a turtle with a tub on her back and cataracts of suda inundating her. Meanwhile, the hired woman fell off the step-ladder with a crash like a pile-driver, and jarred down most of the plaster cornice. When the man's wife had sloughed the tub, she Bauntered calmly into the hall and remarked, "Well, men are the clumsiest and the hall had just been washed, too." Her husband did not Bay mucb, but be thought a good deal; and now, he says, just let Susan B. Anthony come and lecture here again, and if no other man has the courage to hiss, he will, so help him Jasper Packle-merton. Ohio Patents.

Among the various breeds of cows the difference in the milking capacity is very remarkable and, to those engaged in the business, very important. The relative quantity of milk yielded by the several breeds appears to be nearly in the follow ing proportions : r or native cowb, 2S00 lbs. a year; Jerseys, 8800 lbs.; Ayrshires, 4300 lbs., and HolBtein, 4500. Taking the weight at VUO to VbU lbs. this would give native cows about five times their weight in mux; for Ayrshires six and onehalf times their weight; for Jerseys four and onehalf times, and for Holstein ve times, VMntum Union, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL THE 7 AST TRAIN.

Admiral Rog ers has authorised the published state ment that part only of the cadetB who recently resigned at Annapolis were involved in the alleged robbery at the Naval Academy.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Stationary or riling barometer; norlhweit to touthweil Kinds; coohr, followed by warm, e!ar weather. Til new Sultan of Turkey is in the shifty-sixth year of his age. Til Indians are still wielding the tomahawk and scalping knife with ferocity. Admiral Rookrs has authorised publication of the fact that of the Cadets at the Naval Academy who recently resigned, John Q. Mason, of Ohio, and W. B. Osterhont, of Pennsylvania, were not accused as principals, but became involved as witnesses. The way in which Mason was unfortunately drawn in. to the matter has been explained in this paper, and the explanation has been sufficient to relieve him, in public estimation, of the gross criminality which tht charge as at first presented implied. It is understood that Mason and Oater-hout will bs reinstated by the Secretary of the Navy, to answer such charges as may a preferred. Tax fast train which for three days has bean rushing across the continent like a tornado, arrived at San Francisco yesterday morning, twenty-six minutes ahead ef time, without accident. It accomplished the journey in about one-balf the time allowed the regular trains, and would doubtless have arrived at the Weetern terminus several hours in advance of schedule time had it not been for wash-outs and damage to Some of the apparatus of cars which had run clear through. On the Facifio roads the most remarkable time was made between EvaDBton and Ogden seventyfive miles in seventynine minutes. One run of fourteen miles in eleven minutes was Blade. This trip will create a demand for faster travel than has been the rule between New York and San Francisco. It is not within the bounds ef reasonable expectation that regular trains shall run at the speed of this special train, which has probably incurred heavy expense, and which has made its way with a degree of leckleesness not altogether compatible with the average article of nerve ; but if the railroad authorities would split the 4ifference between the special time and the regular time, the public demand would be satisfied. '! The startling news of this morning is the announcement of the suicide of Ab- Jul Atis, the dethroned Sultan of Turkey, t is stated that the ex Bultan, under casntal derangement, gave the life cur-tent an outlet with a pair, of Bcissors. This statement is made without reservation ; but nevertheless, until full particulars are received there will be at least faint grounds for suspicion that the Hate Sultan war murdered. There is no kindly feeling for retired I royalty in Turkey; there is a decided antipathy to having rejected rulers lying around. When an obnox-.' lout head is disposed of in that country, ' lie generally gets his quietus in more - wajs than one. Since the dethronement It seems to have been accepted as a nat-; ural consequence that theex-Sul-( tan's life would be in danger, i and the telegraph has from time to time advised us that he had been confined In a place of Bafety. But whether Abdul Asis committed suicide or was killed, his career does not present material for a firet-olass obituary notrce. H was a lecherous and extravagant individual, whose good points, if he had any, were darkly overshadowed. He was born February 8, 1830, and succeeded to the throne June 25, 1861. He attended the Paris Exposition in 1867, and before returning home visited the Queen of Eng land. His trip did not materially affect bis tastes. He re-established the royal harem with twelve hundred inmates, and , (lunged into extraordinary extravaganoe in the way of amusements and the decoration of the palace. His palace expenditure it represented to have been $10,000,- ' 000 annually. It cost about $2,600,000 to support his army ef servants. His private establishment was so extensive and complex that it would not teem that be could have much time to attend to the affairs of government. , Hia nominal civil liat was $6,700,000, and the balance of the 10,000,000 which he an. nually expended was accounted for by deception. The royal prodigality led to several revolutions. TOM SCOTT AND JAY B0ULD. Extraordinary anatfuneat of their Presidential riaaa What the Wonderful Barn Bays They Want. Washington L.tt.r in New Torlt tun 1 Of course Tom Scott is not staking his an on tne success ot me Democratie parly in 1876. He is no politician, but, like jay uouia, ne is "a .Democrat with Democrats, a Republican with Republicans, doubtful with the doubtful, and a Texas Pacific man all the time." He is UBing the same means to control the Republican Convention at Cincinnati that he is employing to manipulate the Democratic Convention at St. Louis. His ticket to be made at Cincinnati has Blaine for the fore end and either Hayes or Bristow for the rear end. If ' he gets Blaine for the first place he will not le particular about the fellow who rides behind, but as Bristow was at one time President of the California and Texas Construction Company, be would probably prefer him. All the influence wbioh this adroit manipulator, this unscrupulous manager of 7000 miles of railroads can command, is now being used to run in the interest of his jobs the two great political parties of the oountry. Truly this is something to cauae the believers in republican institutions to Dause and reflect, especially in the Centennial year of the Republic. Blunders of tha London "Times." Resident correspondent of th. N. Y. World. London, May 20. The Times, with all Kb merits, nas a rare aptitude for mak' ing comioal blunders. Every little while a careful reader of the paper sees, stuck down in an obscure corner, a paragraph headed "Errata;" and these corrections are sometimes more funny than the original blunders. The other day it an nounced that the date of some Roman re maina in the city was fixed by the words "B. U. 61," engraved upon them a dis covery which would go far to show that there were prophets, and very remarkable prophets, in those days; and on Ties- day it stated that "the cause of the death of Susan Milligan, on whose body an inquest was held, was hemorrhage before and after death." There are a great many Irishmen on the staff of the Times. THE 9BIAT UNKNOWN. Yesterday the Times informed us that the National Prohibition Convention" had nominated "Messrs. Green. Clay and Smith for President, and George T. Stew art ior v ice-rresiuent. Auisuoimucn worse than its comical blunder a few weeke ago, when, in a dispatoh from Philadelphia, it informed us that Mr. Kil-bourne, "the agent for the real estate of Mr. Poole," had refused to exhibit his books, Ac. Soap on the Stairs. Chi.ago Tribune. A gentleman residing on Aberdeen street was, until Friday last, inclined to favor female snRraae. rlis wite bad pru dently delayed moving till after the 1st, so as to take advantage of the fall of house-rents. The house to which they moved had a tremendously steep flight of stairs, and an oil-clothed hall. The wife had the stairs scrubbed down, and left the soap on the top step. Her husband was up Btairs, with a basket full of clothespins in one hand and a clock under the other arm, when his wife, who was down stairs, buw a mouse, and shaking her skirts madly, bounded up on the table and let off a series of shrill shrieks beginning on high ZZZ above the clef. Her husband, thinking the house was on fire at the very least, started to run to ber rescue, and, stepping on the piece of eoap that she had so thoughtfully left on the Btairs, sat down vehemently at the top of the flight, and slid down with the speed of thought. Fire flew from hia false teeth as he hit the edge of each step, volleys of clothee-pins were discharged into the air and fell rattling and rebounding on the oil-cloth, and the clock shed its inwards over the universe. The injured husband bad little time for reflection when he reached the glare oil-cloth of the hall and shot across it with ecarcely diminished velocity, literally making the oil-cloth and the seat of his pantaloons amoke with friction, and finally bringing up against the door with a violence that threatened to buret the side out of the house. The fearful concuBsion startled his wife, who turned a back somersault from the table into a tub of soap-suds, in which she was so tightly wedged that she bad to throw a handspring and canter on all-fours like a turtle with a tub on her back and cataracts of suda inundating her. Meanwhile, the hired woman fell off the step-ladder with a crash like a pile-driver, and jarred down most of the plaster cornice. When the man's wife had sloughed the tub, she Bauntered calmly into the hall and remarked, "Well, men are the clumsiest and the hall had just been washed, too." Her husband did not Bay mucb, but be thought a good deal; and now, he says, just let Susan B. Anthony come and lecture here again, and if no other man has the courage to hiss, he will, so help him Jasper Packle-merton. Ohio Patents.

Among the various breeds of cows the difference in the milking capacity is very remarkable and, to those engaged in the business, very important. The relative quantity of milk yielded by the several breeds appears to be nearly in the follow ing proportions : r or native cowb, 2S00 lbs. a year; Jerseys, 8800 lbs.; Ayrshires, 4300 lbs., and HolBtein, 4500. Taking the weight at VUO to VbU lbs. this would give native cows about five times their weight in mux; for Ayrshires six and onehalf times their weight; for Jerseys four and onehalf times, and for Holstein ve times, VMntum Union, BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL THE 7 AST TRAIN.

Admiral Rog ers has authorised the published state ment that part only of the cadetB who recently resigned at Annapolis were involved in the alleged robbery at the Naval Academy.
