Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, January 8.—With regard to the prospects of the forthcoming Liberal confer- ence, I find that Chamberiain’s action is a direct regult of pressure brought to bear upon him from Birmingham. When he returned from the East he gave notice that he would address a public mecting on «a certain day. Whereupon the politieal committee of his ward wrote to inform him that his frst duty was to them. They desiyed him to addreas them privately at an earijer Gate. He suspected nothing, and was immensely surprised and disgusted to find himself subjected to the process of heckling by the most direct and frank questiong for over two hours. This has been a revelation to him. His position among en those in whose support he had the most eonfidence, caused him to make a conciliatory speech and lend himself willingly to the conference proposal. He has expressed great satisfaction at the tone of certain letters which Gladstone has addressed to him priv- ately. Nobody has yet discovered in what way the reconciliation is to come. THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS, by the way, is by mo means over, as there are many delicate personal matters to be arranged inside the Cabinet. The position of Iddesleigh is the most difficult of these. A matter ot a different character, however, which Patrick Ford will read with greatest interest, eclipses the purity of political questions for the moment. I learn that Henry Jenkinson, for several years past Director of Criminal Investigation, is about to retire or be retired. The relations between Home Secretary Matthews and Jenkinson have been strained for some time past. This is their culmination. The gravity of the event, it may be added, can only be known to those who take part in the governmen? of the empire. For the last four years Jenkinson has deen the soul and center of what may be called the spy system of the British Empire. Among other things he is the man who has in his hands all the threads of the secret conspiracy of the dynamiters and assassins which threatened and attacked life and property from New York and Paris. At a time when the British Government is being urged from the Judicial Bench upon a course of VIGOROUS REPRESSION IN TRELAND, | Jenkinson’s retirement is strange, indeed. The step contemplated may be officially termed an amalgamation of departments. This is a mere euphemism for a fate like Ham- uton's. Considerable surprise is expressed to-day at the news that the admiralty has issued in- structions to see the hulks In readiness to receive the naval reserves, who with the off. cers and men of the brigade of guard stand- ing first for foréign service, have been medi- cally examined. The latter precaution had previously been taken only at the last mo- ment. England. UNSATISFACTORY EVIDENOB. Lorpor, January 8.—The Times this morn- ing commenting on Gen. Buller’s evidence on the conspiracy trial in Dubiin yesterday, says itis to be regretted that such interference, however legitimate, in cases of ascertained individual hardship, shouid be resorted to by the executive officiais controlling the police. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach’s evidence, says the Times, is still leas satisfactory. A TERRIBLE SNOW STORM. A terrible snow storm has revalled throughout the midiand counties in England. Much loss of life is feared. The highways and railways are impassible in many places and the mails are blocked. BRITISH NAVAL PENSIONERS. The British naval pensioners have been or- dered to notify the Government of the names of the ships they would prefer to serve upon or the ports they would 41 to de employed at in view of being called into possible active service. GLADSTONE’S DENIAL Mr. Gladstone persoaally denies that he is prepared to modify his home rule bill as an- nounced yesterday by the Standard, which declared that he would make concessions to the Liberal Unioniste. Ireland. REFUSED BY THE TENANTS. Donzm, January 8.—The tenants on the Londonderry estates of the Skinners Company have declined the company’s proposal to sell the tenants their holdings atsums aggregat- ing eighteen years’ rental.

BAN FRANCISCO, January 8.—Near midnight last night, a crowd of car strikers left their meeting hall and walked up Mason street. About fifteen minutes later, a car of the Sutter street line was coming down the hill, and as it crossed Mason street, the strikers sal- lied forth with sticks and stones and attacked the conductor, grip- man and the passengers on the dummy. ne of the passengers was dealt a heavy blow on the head with an iron bar, eutting a deep gash in the scalp, which bied profusely. Simul- taneously the conductor on the rear platform was struck on the head with a club and on the knee byaroek. The an was also struck and severely bruised. he attack was so quickly done that no arf@sts could be made. Cigar-Makers’ Strike.

The Terrible Experience of e Schooner’s Crew—The Tifflm Disaster. Havrrax, N. S., January §8.—Capt. Carey of the schooner Minnie, Which was wrecked on December &% near Johmson’s Island, Cape Breton, arrived here y rday. He tells a terrible story of thesuffefings of the crew of the wrecked vessel. The Minne left George- town, Prince Edwards Island, December 22, for St. John’s, N. F., witha cargo of produce. On the second day out, 2 © passing through Bras d'or Straits, | snowstorm was encountered. The wind blew a hurricane and the vessel would not hold by her anchors. She drifted or was blown about A the wind until she struck the rocks in the vicinity of Johnson’s Island. Holes were knocked in her and the water pouredin. The crew consisted of Capt. Carey and four men, who were covered with ice, so much 80 as to almost prevent their making efforts to save their lives. All five got into one boat and pulled away from their sinking vessel. They could see no land and had completely lost their reckoning. After pulling aimlessly about for nearly an hour they fortunately struck John- son’s Island, where they landed and went in search of some human habitation. This was no age | task. The men had the greatest dim - culty in keeping themselves from freezing and being coated with ice. They were twice their natural size and weight. After walking around for three hours one of their number, John Gathral, got 80 hausted he could go no further. companions urged him on, buat he bas unable to make an effort.

The others pushed on, expecting soon to meet asimilar fate. They were strangely fortunate, however, as before they had gone halt a mile they came upon a house in which they took shelter and were eared for. The dead body of their companion was taken to the house and the next day buried. Capt. Carey owned the vessel, which is a total loss and was uninsured. The Tiffin Disaster. CLEVELAND, O., January 8.—In the coroner’s inquest at Tiffin this forenoon, very little ot importance was elicited. Jesse M. Spooner of Republic, testified that he visited the wreck and talked with Engineer Kiler of the freight and another man. The engineer asked the other man if he had seen any Baltimore & Ohio officials. The man replied that be had, but the officer did not say much about the wreck. Engineer Kiler said: ‘‘I suppose he thinks I am to blame for this and I am not. I did all in my power to get off, but my engine would not work. Engineer Kiler failed to respond to the sabpenaof the Coroner.

Mrs. Sturgis, alias Bessie Livingston, a young woman who Lives on South Seventeenth street, was before Judge Cady this morning on a charge of keeping a disreputable house.

IX BE FOTHERINGHAM. Mr. Harvey Thinks His Client Has Been Outrageoysly Treated. Mr. Thomas Harvey, one of Fotheringham’s attorneys, returned from Mississippi last night and visited the Four Courts this morn- ing. He is rather indignant over the way the express robbers were indicted and taken from the city, and says he does not think his client has been treated at ali fairly in the matter. He holds that the change of the indictments from robbery in the first degree to grand lar- ceny from arailroad car was an injustice to his client, and that the claim thatthe reason was that the statute in regard to trying train robbers in any county which the train passes on its trip is unconstitutional is nota done. He says that if that is uncon- stitutional the 1 * way the court can get venue in the case is by section 1,691, and that ives venue for robbery as well as for grand arceny. I there is no venue for robbery, said Mr. Harvey, ‘‘then there is uone for larceny either. ose men could have been indicted for one offense as well as forthe other, but a robb indictment would have been favora- ble to Fotheringham and against the interests of the express company. The company ap- pears to have been and Fotheringham sacrificed. face of the fact that all roceedings were carried on in the absence of is attorneys, and that no one was here to look after his interests, everything that came out was tavorable to him, and this I regard as uch greater vindication than if we had here to take care of his interests. The de thatl was lying ill in Miseis- Orr om. : U * ~~ ' ' : . * . earlier than the 17th, as I wanted to make this trip home, and after I left it was docketeo for the 10th, when it was supposed that Gor. Jonhson would be at Wyandotte and 1 would also be unable to get here so that there would be no one to prepare the case. I wrote to Mr. Clover, complaining of this breach of faith, but told him not to postpone the trfal as Iwould get here. Gov. Johnson, I am in- formed, will reach herein the morning, and, lexpect, we will be ready for trial Monday.“ The State also expects to be ready for trial Monday or to fille an affidavit giving their ree sons for not being ready. If the defense - mit these affidavits the trial will have to go on. The section giving the Criminal Court venue in the express cases is as follows: Section 1,691—Property stolen in one County takento another.—When property stolen in one County and brought into another shall have been taken by — 1 Lurglary or rob- bery, the offender may be indicted, tried and convicted for such larceny, burglary or rob- bery in the County into which such stolen roperty was brougbt in the same manner as ft such larceny, burglary or robbery had been committed in that County. It will be noticed that, as Mr. Harvey claims, it gives venue for both larceny and robbery, buat the Court holds that the former is a con- tinuous offense and the latter an instantaneous one. Messenger Fotheringham, who was released late yesterday afternoon, was around among — friends to-day, but had no statement to make. ; OBITUARY. Death of Judge Aaron Shaw, ex-Member of Congress.

A Joint Committee of Conference Effects a ' Satisfactory fettlement of the Four Months-Old Trouble—Concessions From Both Sides—Boycotts and Blacklists Abol- ished-No Discrimination Against the Knights of Labor. The brewer's strike is ended. A joint com- mittee of conference consisting of Messrs. Ellis Wainwright, Adolphus Busch, W. J. Lemp on the part of pooled brewers, and 8. M. Ryan, John B. Dempsey and John Berghern on behalf of the strikers effected. a settlement on Thursday which was written in the form of an argument and signed by all the representatives. The strike began last September, and was precipitated by the publication in the breweries of a resolution passed by the association of brewers to the effect that unless boycotts instituted by the Brewers’ Union against Jos. Schnaider and Chas. G. Stifel were lifted, all members of unions would de dis- charged from the breweries controlled by the association. The men did not wait to be discharged but quit work to the number of about four hundred.

The only difference between us was we had put the names of all the strikers who re- mained outona ‘black list’ and refused to |employ them. They wanted us to erase the names. 4 list of men who still remained out and were in the city awaiting a settlement was given us. We looked it over carefully and then said we had no objections to the men. We would re-employ them ag soon as vacancies occurred and as there are 1.800 employes in the city breweries it will not take more than six weeks to replace the sixty-nine men.

THE RATES OF PAY which are perpetuated by the reement are $55 and $60 per month forthe different grades of work. Ten hours constitute a day’s work, and all time over that is to be paid as extra work. The usual allowances as to beer are made. In the future there wiil be no dis- crimination against men on account of their connection with the Knights of Labor or any other organization. The Executive Commit- tee of District Assembly No. 17 will officially notify ali local assemblies the trouble between the breweries and men has been settied andany opposition to the breweries on the part of the local assemblies will be discontinued in con- sequence ofsuch agreement. The men who have remained out through the entire trouble have been assisted by living allowances made them by the District As- sembly Executive Committee, but for this no assessment was levied, general funds dra up. contributions 0 indfviduals and locals were sufficient for the maintainance of ali those whose purses were not guiticiently weil flilled to stand the strain of four months without work. Mr. Dem of the Knights of Labor committee said:. We are 6a with the terms of the settlement, and so are the brewers. Until our conferences with the pool committee we thought they were . to the Knights, but we soon learned was not the case. It was a mixed u 1 UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR, and we are very glad to be able to act as med- lators and obtain the settlement which asf sald is satisfacto to all parties. Without saying an ing about the merits of the strike I think this settlement will be a great and per- | manent good to the men.’ N 4 — Popa 1 NEW MOTORS.

RBeocetver Cooley’s Official Announcement of Appoint ments—General Superintendent ade and General Freight Agent Knight in St. Louis—Changes in the Ser- wice—The Texas & St. Louis—Steel Rail Men's Grievances—Decision in the Rail- road Scrip Cases—Railroad Notes. Mr. KA. H. Wade, General Superintendent, ‘and Mr. Milton Knight, General Freight Agent ofthe Wabash East, came from Chicago last might and to-day were in their old offices in. the Equitable Building. There has been considerable speculation about who would be general manager and reports about the traffic managership being offered to Mr. W. K. Duncan of the O. &. M. As a matter ot tact Receiver Cooley is and will be i his own general mana- ger he has never contemplated the ap- pointment of a traffic manager. Mr. Wade will be the acting general manager with Mr. T. OC.

When he arrives on Mondey he will hold a conference with the Western Wabash officials and settle the arrangements. One matter which bas not yet been deter- mined is the question of a ticket office, whether the offices of the Eastand West lines hall be together or separate. Now the — 5 not only as to tickets, but as to all other departments is done together, although the reports of the lines are sent to Chicago. Another ticket office in this city would be an expensive luxury, end it is prob- able that the two offices will combined un- cement. ht are here for the been stated, will im as chief clerk, and here to assist him. in consultation with General Manager Talmage and Mr. Hays 8 with reference to turning over his office here to Mr. Hays, bis force and his future plans.

A conference een the officials of the two lines will be held next week to arrange traffic matters, which are as yet in the same condi- tion as when the roads were separated. There is not likely to be any trouble in thear ments of the traffic nor the settle ment ot the business since January 1, as all accounts are kept separate. There is consid- erable anxiety in General Passenger Agent Chandler’s office concerning Mr. Snow's Plans, as the office is overweighted at present, and i is not known who is wanted. It is thought, however, that Mr. Snow will certainly make an advantageous offer to some of the men there, as it will be ractically impossible for a man new to he system as he is to make any headway without the assistance of some one familiar with ite business. It was thought a little —— that Judge Cooley should have ne outside of the system to t a General senger Agent when he could have found a competent man in the office here in Mr. Crane, the istant Agent. It is reported that some difficulty has been experienced in the handling of freight owing to the luck of bills of the new line East. No obanges have been made in the operating force and none are likely to be made. There are many traveling agents for the entire system now employed whose positions are in doubt, and will be until after the conference of officials. Mr. H. B. Sweet, Division Freight Agent of the Michigan Oity & indianapolis Division, has been appointed Freight and Passenger Agent for the road. TEXAS & 6T. LOUIS. Col. 8. W. Fordyce, President and General Manager, and R. C. Kerens, Second Vice- President of the Texas & St. Louis, will leave for New York to-morrow night to attend a meeting of the Board of Directors of the road. Among the per oy which are likely to be considered that of securing an inlet St. Louis. As lutely nothing has been this direction and no plansofthe most in- definite kind have been formed, the attention of the officials having been taken up entirely with the change of gauge. The gauge has been changed on the entire with the exception of 220 miles ‘Texarkana, and everything for the spreading of the raile on this portion. The equipment is nearly complete for the standard gauce, the orders for new cars made last spring being about finished. A new order for 400 box cars and 200 coal cars has just been let, makin a total of over 2.800 cars of various kinds which will be ready for operation on the road. The completion of the line to St. Louls from Bird's Point, 130 miles is the only ~ pp step to make the line a St. Louis road to the Southwest parellel with the Missouri Pacific. NOTES. H.C. Townsend, General Passenger Agent of the Missouri Pacific, returned to the city last es from a business trip. Col. 8. H. H. Olark, Second Vice-President and General Manager ofthe Missouri Pacific, returned to-day after an absence of a week. W. H. Newman, General Traffic Manager of the Missouri Pacific, leaves for New Orieans to-night to attend a 8 of the Texas Traffic Association and the Steamship lines plying between New York, New Orleans and aiveston, to settle questions of rates and percentages. Commissioner John M. Abbott has called a meeting of the Southwestern Association for next Wednesday at Chicago. The association is arranging for a conference with the Kan- gas and Nebraska Association with a view of withdrawing all the round-trip land tickets from sale. The Southwestern has already ruled to withdraw these tickets as there is no further use for them, and only the consent of these two associations is desired to enforce the rule. The Pullman Car Company are busy hand- ling the California excursions, which are heavier this yearand demand more cars than on any — winter.

The cold and high pressure area still remains central around Bis- marck, Dak., and, as a consequence, this locality is in danger of receiving another slice of sero weather before Monday. Yesterday very cold weather was reported in the North, where the mercu was hanging around the 40-deg.-below mark. This morning the temperature here was 13 deg. above at 6a. m. to-day. The Signal Service says a cold Sun- day is inevitable. Snowing and Cold. Omrcaco, January 8.—‘‘It will continue snowing here most of the day and in all dis- tricts east ot the Mississippi River, said an. officer at the Signal Service Bureau this morn- ing. **When it quits snowing look fora rap- id N thermometer. he cold snap, I think, will set in to-night and will continue to-morrow, and ‘ncrease in intens- ity for the say or two § follow- f.

This morning it had moderated some at that place. It was also quite cold in the districts lying south of Bismarck aud to the Northeast. The cattle ranches in the West are doubtless ex- periencing some pretty frosty weather, and I am sorry I cannot promise better things for them for some time to come.’’ Snow has been falling in nearly all the Western districts, and is reported this morn- ing in the Mississippi Valley from St. Louis to Davenport, and extending eastward in III I- nois and Upper Lakeregion. Sleet is reported in Arkansas and cloudy weather in the Ohio Valley and Southern States, with light rains in North Carolina. Snow is also reported in Southern Colorado and at Norfolk, Va. Elsewhere the weather is generally fair. Com- ared with yesterday, it is generally warmer n upper lake regions, and colder in the East- ern and Southern States. It is also much colder in the Missouri Ley € ranging from 12 below zero in Kansas to 39 below in Dakota. There is extraordinary cold weather in all dis- tricts west of the Mississippi Valley. BLACKLISTING ILLEGAL. An Important Decision by Judge Pickett at New Haven, Conn. NEW HAVEN, Conn., January 8.—In the City Oourt this morning Judge Pickett rendered a decision inthe cases of Wm. H. Wallace, as- sistant superintendent of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, and Stacy B. Op- dyke, Superintendent of the New Haven & Northampton Railroad, accused of conspiracy by Thomas F. Meany, who charged them with blacklisting him. The accused were fined $50 each. They will undoubtedly appeal from the decision. THE JUDGE'S DECISION. The Judge, in his decision, said that he was clearly of the opinion that a conspiracy de- signed to hinder any man from puttin his labor on the market when, where and for such compensation as he may agree for, is equally criminal with any conspiracy designed to hinder the sale of merchandise of any p ucer, or dealer, and ls more dis- astrous in effect than any other form of con- spiracy except to take life. To convict of such conspiracy, circumstantial evidence is com- petent and may be conclusive. It is suffi- cient if it is shown that the par- tles bad a mutual understanding to the common design and the part each was to perform in the attainment thereof. The Court was satisfied that Wallace and Opdyke hada proved by one should not be employed by the other. his was, toallintents and purposes a boycott upon the individuals. ZADOC C. INGHRAM.

Evidence of Fraud, Forgery and False Im- personation Discovered by Secret Officers of an Investigating Committee—Az In- quiry That Will Be Pushed—The Congres- sional Contest Case—Local Political News In the investigation of the election frauds the end is not yet, notwithstanding the selt- congratulatory feeling that prevails among the indicted offenders and the ward-workers, who find cause for joy over the pending change ot United States Attorneys and in the consciousness of guilt. An organization which gives great promise in its incipiency has been secretly but earnestly working toward a purification of municipal politics. Itis evidently decided by men who are not unfamiliar with the party workings, and who fully understand the esti- mate which the fine workers place upon citi- zens’ committees, law and order leagues, and similer organizations. The scheme was started by men who seek no popularity, and who are determined to push the in- vestigation, either with the aid or over the head of the local District Attorney. It was with some difficulty that the identity of the gentlemen of the organization was estab- lished. One of these was found and ques- tioned concerning the plans and objects of the organization. ‘‘We fully appreciate the ef- fectiveness of the press in this instance,’’ said he, ‘‘but we are going about this thing un- derstandingly, and we intend to use the best forces of the press at the proper time. The character and _ {futile efforts of similar organizations is familiar to the public but this will not be such an under- taking. The investigation before the Federal Grand-jury was only started when an adjourn- ment took place but sufficient “evidence was roduced to show that fraud’ forgery and alse impersonation were praticed in the last election and it we ever hope to have a fair election in this city we must prosecute to the end the offenses committed at that election. „Have you any objection to giving the plan of the organization?’ ‘*‘We are not adopting a name and have made oo plans which will not de at once con- sumated. Some time ago a numder of gentie- men met, and at once came to a full under- standing of the necessity of immediate action. If Mr. Bashaw will vigorously investigate and present these frauds the gentiemen interested in this movement will not ap- ear, but if he does not e will be circumvented and rendered power- less. A meeting will be heidthis afternoon to further consider the plans. „Will the organization oppese the confirma. tion of T. Bashaw as United States At- torney?’’ „No sir, no such action will be taken. As regards further information concerning this organization some say that the gentlemen composing it will not give any infor- mation until such time as publication will accomplish the best results. Although we know that the large majority of workers are in sympathy with the movement the parties actively engaged can accomplish all plans, and by confining its membership tothe act- ive and influential workers now engaged in it we will avoid the possibility of outside pressure being brought to bear to impede ac- tion. The executive branch of the organi- zation will be 80 composed as to be secure from general criticism and to ar partisan villification. Special counsel will be secured, if necessary, to rosecute these cases, but I will say now hat Mr. Bliss will be retained. No hook whereon a party complaint might be hung will be extended. I think, however, I should state in justice to that gentleman that Mr. Bliss would hardly accept such a compli- ment under the circumstances. We do not question the integrity of Mr. Bashaw but we are determined to see that fraud is prosecuted no matter on whom the punish- ment falls.“ A meeting of the organization will be held this afternoon to further consider the plans. Some of the frauds which the Grand-jury will take up on the 25th inst. have since come to * and give good grounds to anticipate the indictment ofa large number of ward politicians and probably several persons in official positions. Among other facts it has developed that nearly 600 NAMES were added to the — poll-books in writing. Concerning this Chief Supervisor H. D. Wood has stated that he does not know how the names were obtained, but that when he questioned Recorder of Voters Hoblitzelle concerning the additions that official ex- lained that the additions were usual, ut did volunteer to throw any more light on the subject. The law provides ample time for the correc- tion of the printed poll-books, and the mys- terious additions will be one of the first sub- jects of inquiry before the Federal Grand-jury at ite next meeting on the 25th inst. Some instances of corrupt practices which have come to light suggest an organized fraud. E. E. Betts, who lives at 1113 Pine street, states that just before the last election two men calied at his house atthe above number, and representing themselves as directory can- vassers, took the names of the parties living at the above number. Among others the names of two minors were given and these appear on the poll-books of the precinct as qualified voters. Mr. Betts himself had just moved to the premises designated from a house on Six- teenth, and on spolying for a transfer had jearned that it had already been made. Mr. Williams, who also lives at the above number; had a similar experience. Jos. Banks, colored ,4iving at 802 Market went to polis and found his name marked o in blue pencil. He could et no explanation for this unusual crossing off of his name. Robert Anderson, colored, living in rear of No.716 South Second street, was given the same information at the polls. Both of these cases will be subjects of investigation before 8 at ite next session. John Keller of 1141 South Third street went tothe polis on election day and was told by the judges that his name had y been voted. One ofthe members of the Board of Revision ty-five names Board ft Re- on the books though it was Tt tne? on election day. This w investigation Will Gé On Tuesday.

This morning United States District Attorney Bliss was notified by Attorney-General Gar- land that his resignation had been accepted by the President, to take effect on the confir- mation and qualification of his successor. Mr. Bliss will leave for California on Monday on a trip for the benefit of his wife, who has been ailing for some time, Political Notes. Peter Colgan was arraigned before Judge Treat this morning in the United States Court on an indictment for fraud at the last elec- tion. His bond was fixed at $1,000. Recorder of Voters Hoblitzelle is preparing for the formal transfer of his books and papers to his successor. MATTERS IN COURT. Administration of the Rea Estate—A Heavy Note Suit—Legal Notes.

Initial Meeting of the Shakspeare Class Held To-Day—The Ladies Who Were Present—The Iliad Club and Its Mem- bers—A Class Forming for Prof. W. T. Harris. There is considerable activity at present among the society ladies of St. Louis in the matter of forming clubs for purposes of educa- tion and mental culture. Outside of bookish Boston St. Louis leads in the number ot organ- izations of this kind, considered in relation with its population. Many of the ladies interested in the movements are enthusiastio in their efforts of organization and clubs are forming to at- tack ali branches of literature and philosopby. One of the largest of these classes, the Shak- speare, met this morning in the Kindergarten rooms of the Stoddard school in its initial meeting. Notwithstanding the inclement weather fully fifty ladies were present to listen to Prof. Denton J. Snider’s discourse on the subject of the first lesson. The ladies sat in the comfortable rooms cn seats ranged in a semi-circle about a platform on which the speaker stood. The lecture, ifa talk of its easy nature may be so called, was without manuscript. The pro- fessor stood, before his cuitured and attentive audience like a male Hypatia and delivered his remarks in a most conversational and en- He handled briefly the works of Shakspeare in general, after which reliminary re- marks the play of ‘‘King Lear’’ was taken up, its structure unfolded and its main idea reviewed. The lecturer then passed to the characters. Gloster’s act mentioned at the beginning of the play was considered all the source of his calamities. Lear’s partition ofthe Kingdom, the speaker submitted, was not an act of insanity unless all acts of folly could be so regarded. It showed that the King deemed himeelf all and the State nothing. In this minute way the acts and motions of the various characterae were treated in a talk occupying a little over an hour. The second meeting of the class will be held at the same place at lla. m. next Saturday. WHOTHEY ARE. Among the ladies present were Mrs. Hub- bard, Mrs. George Plant, Mrs. Sterling, Miss Fruchte, Miss M. C.

In addition to leading the Shakspeare class Prof. Snider meets with the Iliad Club, another recent organization, which held its first meet- ing Wednesday in the parlors of Mrs. George Plant, 3633 Washington avenue. Mrs. Dr. H. A. Stimson has been principally instrumental in forming the clus. Among its members are Mrs. Geo. Plant, Mrs. C. B. Hubbard, Mrs. W. Crandell, Mrs. Blair, Mrs. Dr. Oliphant, and Misses Belle Allen, Bertha Chase, Jessie Mc- Culloch, A. ©. Fruchte, Katie May, A. Reh- bein, Kate Shaughnessy, Gye, Florence Vick - roy, Mary Shackleford, K. Beakey, Clara Wanglin and M. C. McCulloch, In his treatment of the Iliad, Prof. Snider said that it was recognized as one of the great- est books of literature, and for this reason was worthy of careful study. Not simply for amusement, but for its view of man’s problem in this life should it be read. It opens with’ the furious quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon, who represent respectively Heroism and Authority. Then this conflict between mortals on the plans of Troy is referred to the gods above on Olympus, who also divide into two parties. The final decision is rendered by Jupiter, the supreme deity, who is the providence of the poor. So Homer has before his mind the ree-acting man in a eren order, and the problem is to reunite the two. The meeting of the Iliad class will be held weekly upon Wednesday afternoons. The next meeting takes piace at Miss McCulloch’s home, 8861 Washington avenue. PHILOSOPHY. The above classes represent the recent ad- ditions to literary inquiry.

Ladies Who Had Been Caught Without Um. brellas in a Rain of Diamonds. Lucy Hooper’s Paris Letter. Last night took performance of M. opera of ‘‘Patrie’ at the Grand Opera, the so-called dress re. hearsal, given forthe benefit of the suf. ferers by the recent French inundations, I do not think I ever saw so bri. liant an audience assembled in that superb theater. All the ladies present were in full dress, and the display of gor. geous toilets and of splendid jewelry was really dazzling. Mme. de Furtado Heine, who occupied a box near where | sat looked as though she had walked ont where it was raining diamonds aud had neglected to put up herumbreiia.’ Her dress of pale silver-gray satin was trim. med with draperies formed of 4a. net. work of fine chenille of the same color, sparkling with large flat inita- tion diamonds, a peculiar but most effective and novel style of trimming. An- other dress had the train and low corsage of black velvet embroidered all over with large tulips in their natural hues, the skirt front of cream-white satin being covered with arabesque embroidery in colored silks and beads. The very short sleeves, reaching one-third of the way from the shoulder to the elbow, were cut away over the arm 80 28 to leave merely a wide band, at the lower end of which was set a leaf-shaped ornament in diamonds. Mrs, Mackay occupied the loge between the columns on the grand tier. She worea corsage Of dark blue velvet spotted with gold, cut square and with half-long sleeves, and adorned with draperies of point lace. Theskirt was in white faille and lace. Around her throat was clasped a necklace composed of three row of large and very beautiful pearl, Her guests of the evening were the Count and Countess Dillon, Mrs James Brown Potter and Miss Urquhart, and Mrs. and Miss Winslow, Mrs. Potter looking especially lovely in a dress of pale — crepe. Mme. Rute, the once famous eauty Mme. Ratazzi, occupied one of the first tier boxes with her young daughter, Mile. Isabelle Roma Ratazzi. She was dressed in white satin, with a diadem of turquoises and diamonds, and looked §very much more like an old tragedy queen than a lady of imperial blood. She wears immense masses of false black hair, fallingina thick mane down her back, and over one ear she had stuck a tea-rose, which formed a queer combination with her jeweled crown. Mile.

How Browne of Virginia Bluffed His Wav Into Congress. From the Boston Herald. Congressman Browne of the Ninth Vi ginia District will probably be recognized as the finest poker player in Congres when he goes to Washington. He come from the mountainous southwest, where poker is cultivated as assiduously as the meagre crops and where a knowledge of the same is regarded as a veces sary part of every man’s educt tion. The district went Democrate two years ago by a considerable majority, and was reckoned to be safe this year with the popular Henry as the Democratic val didate. When Browne was nominated, however, a change came over the face things. His card reputation was wide spread, and as every true Southwest Vir- ginian has an intense admiration for! skilful poker plaver it looked as though Browne would attract to himself enoug? Democratic admirers to elect him. From every stump in the district the Browne men spoke glowingly of thet leader’s feats at the card le, of bis lucky draws, his wonderful nerve and numerous big jack-pots he had raked 1, Every place Browne went he was cheer almost as muc the case. Mr. Browne is well adapted by nature for skill in the science of poker. His fact becomes absolutely expressionless whe he wants it to be so. Nothing can K him during a game. His nerve is wonder: ful.

T. H. Morrb, Sr., father of the Morris mentioned above, was elected President of the company, which had been organ- ized to in uce a patent coffee pot and the use of double ground coffee. The coffee drinkiag establishments were sta- tioned at us paris of this city and for some time scheme was a success. It was during this time that the company added a 2 — and this department was under thecontral of the New York Condensed Ccffee Company, 66 Murray * had been organized to con- trol it, and the Morrises drew out and what . money used sey had real- ized im exiendiag the plant of the Textile Filtering Company. The company, until recently, elieved everything to be progressing finely, and about eight days agoconcluded toexamine fully into their condition, ultimately dis- covering that they were bankrupt. Henry Morris had full contiol and sole knowledge of the real financial tanding of the com- pany. Morris had let his home in Wood- bridge and also the safe in the office here securely locked. Or . the safe was forced open when me glaring fact pre- sented itself that it was empty of books, cash and all realizing securities. A deluge of dishonored drafts, checks and notes fell upon the company, showing an insolvency of $70,000. Inquiries after Morris were un- availing. At the home of Morris yesterday there was bitter lamentation over the flight and crime of Henry, and sonm additional facts were obtained concerning the most recent acts of the latter, one ofwhich was said to have been the raising f several thou- sand dollars by giving a fmudulent mort- age on the residence of his father. The atter said yesterday thit he scarcely knew of such an action,but admitted having raised money by matgage to aid his son. In an inuterview with Morris’ father, the later admitted that his son had ruinal him, and that his home would be taken from him. He said that he had ben prostrated by ef for hisson.

The application of the Ramblers’ Bicycle Club for admission into the Missouris has been forwarded according to the instructions adopted atthe Ramblers’ meeting Tuesday. An attempt was made by me American Wheel- man, whose editors are opposed to the union of the two clubs, to queer the scheme by announcing that the Missouris had made a semi-official proposition. But this fell still- born, as Mr. A. K. Stewart, who proposed the scheme, promptly repudiated the charge or insinuation that be made a semi official proposition. He cannot se how it was understood lis proposition was semi-official when both Ladishand Rogers de- olared to him that they heard him say inthe meeting that the proposition was not semi official. The application has gone iu and un- less a constitutional objection gets in its way it will doubtless be favorably received by the Missouris who are wise enough to grasp an The opportunity that promises to do away with any competition. THE ‘‘ONLY ECK.’’ T. W. Eck, the ‘‘only Eck,’’ is in the city, with the intention of — a six-day pro- fessional race with Prince, Schock, Dingley, Hardwick and Mile. Louise Armaindo as con- testants. The outlook is not very favora- bie for such a contest, as a suitable hall is hard to get. Eck bas deen conducting the dig races in Minneapolis the past six weeks, and looks as if he prospered by them. He is as warm an ad- vocate of the fiying start as when he was here ayear ago and says the feeling inthe Kast changed a great deal on the subiect the past season. He is confident that short heat races will be the rule in all tournaments, as they are cheaper to managers and more exciting. By having (- mile heat races, 2 out of 3, eight events would really be secured for about bail of what it would costto have as now from eight to ten separate races. The public don’t want the four, five and ten-mile races, as they are only monotonous. Eck hopes to see classes pre- vail, by which, for instance, there would bea 3:00, 2:50 and 2:40class. This arrangement would not only make the, races more exciting, but would get others to race who are now scared off — the very fast men. Speaking about Atkins’ views as expressed in the PostT-DIsPpaTcH, he said that he and a dozen others held watches on Hendee and Rowe in Springfield last fall, when the former, with a flying start, made a mile in 2:25, and Rowe afew minutes later followed in 2:27. Eck agrees with Atkins in saying that Hendee is the fastest for short distances in the world. In regard Eck declares the North- him Notes.

At the meeting of the Council last night Councilman Stone introduced a pill authoriz- ing the redemption of two lots of municipal bonds and the necessary reissue for this pur- pose. He also introduced a bill authoriz- ing the city to vacate the portions of Lafayette, Soulard, Marion, Commercial, Barry, Picotte, Main and Trudeau streets, which shall revert to parties Owning contiguous ground, ae the district designated ig an accretion recovered dy filling up. The bill provides for the vacation of that por- tion of ayette street from the east line of Kosciusko street to the west line of the whart; Soulard street from the east line of Kosciusko street to the west line of the wharf; Marion street from the east line of Kosciusko street to the west line of Main street; Barry street from the east line of Kosciusko street tothe west line of Main street; Com- mercial street, running through blocs 864 and 866, from the south line of Carrol street to the north line of Lesperance street; all the alleys in blocks 874, 875, 876, 880, 881 an 882, between the east line of Kosciusko street and the west line of Main; the east alley divid- ing block 873, between the west line of Main street and the east line of Kosciusko street; Main street from the south line of Carroll to the north line of Lesperance, and from the south line of Lesperance to the north line of Picotte street; Picotte street from the east line of Main street to the west line of the wharf; Trudeau street trom the east line of Main street to the west line of tne wharf. It is provided that before the vacation is made the property-owners shall pay into the City Treasury the sum of $26,739.54, and to also agree to reconstruct Miller street with granite from Kosciusko street to Main street. It appears that the Iron Mountain & South- ern railroad would be the D benefi- clary of this scheme,jas tae adjoining property is almost exclusively owned by that company.

A BARE CASE, Thirty Miles of Beach Covered With Fish Killed by a Volcanic Disturbance. CHARLESTON, S. C., January 8.—Capt. Hub- bard of the steamer Planter, plying between this port and Georgetown, D. C., states that the beach for thirty miles, between Kelly’s Island and Little River,in this State, is covered tothe depth of over a foot with dead fish, mostly menhaden and porgies. The phenomenon was first discovered last week. The fish could hardly have been killed by the cold,as the cold wave never reached this State until Tuesday of this week. It is thought that they may have been killed by some volcanic or similar disturbance atsea. The inhabitants for milesin the inte- rior are hiring and building boats and vehi- cles, and are hauling the dead fish to their farms to be used for fertilizing purposes. Such an occurrence has never before been known on this coast. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES, An epidemic of small- pox is feared in Brook- lyn. John Craig, a farmer of Mt.

The utterances of a man in such a condition should not be taken, either with or without salt. Tue Montenegrins, whose traditional bravery has been celebrated in the noble verse of TENNYSON, are getting restless and are making active preparations for war. The brave are not always wise, and fortune does not favor them as promptly as romantic people imagine. Tun serious charge is directly made in the Republican this morning, on very good authority, that one of the State Sen- ators and two Representatives who voted against COCKRELL thereby violated pledges under which they secured their nomina- tion. Such stories are calculated to make unpleasantness among friends. — _ THERE appears to bea hopeless deadlock in the Indiana Legislature and a prospect of along and vexatious wrangle. It is remembered that there was something of this sort in South Carolina and Louisiana afew years ago; but that was in the days of the scalawag and carpet-bagger. The attempt to reproduce such a state of affairs in Ohio and Indianais inexcusable. Tun statement that the army engineers have reported unfavorably on the new bridge over the Mississippi at this point recalls the two reports made by the army engineers on the ex- isting bridge. They first declared that it was impracticable and, after the event had proved their mistake, it did not deter a subsequent commission from gravely re- porting that the interests of commerce de- manded the digging of a canal around the east abutment and the placing of a draw- span over the canal. After such a record, s coming from the En- gineer Corps of the United States army cannot expect much respect in St. Louis. THERE are probably some four hundred lawyers in St. Louis of the Demooratic persuasion, and among them one might have been found sufficiently able, honest, and faithfnl to be worthy of the District Attorneyship.

DEFINING POLICE POWEB. In affirming the power of our Legislature to prohibit the manufacture or sale of oleomargarine the Supreme Court of Mis- souri reasoned thus; If it ig of such a character that few persons ‘will eat it, knowing ite real character; if, at the same time, it is of such a nature that it can be imposed upon the public as an article of food which is in common use and against which there is no prejudice; and if, in addi- tion to this, there is probable ground for be- lieving that the only way to prevent the pub- lic from being defrauded into the purchase of the counterfeit article for the genuine is to prohibit the former altogether, then we think such a prohibition may stand as a reasonable police regulation. The fs“ in this decision suggest the fact that since it was delivered a United States law has done away with the reasons therein used to sustain prohibition as a necessary or reasonable police regulation. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, however, in its recent decision affirming the constituticnality of a similar law, took broader ground in regard to the discretion and the police power of the Legislature. It said: The manufacture, sale and keeping of an article may all alike be prohibited by the Leg- islature, if in their judgment the protection of the public from injury and fraud requires it. The fact that the prohibited substance may be innocuous is irrelevant. The sale of a mix- ture of pure miik and pure water has been prohibited. To hold that a prohibited article must be unwholesome to make the act prohib- iting it constitutional would be to overthrow every law the wisdom of which could not bear the test of scrutiny. It will be remembered that in declaring the New York oleomargarine law uncon- stitutional, the highest tribunal of that State traversed the decision of the Legis- lature as to the matter of fact; held that oleomargarine is a wholesome article of food; that the protection of the people from fraud or injury did not require the suppression of the trade in it; that such pro- tection was in that casea mere pretext,and that the law was,therefore,an unconstitu- tional stretch of police power, an uncon- stitutional abridgement of the natural right of the people to make, sell or buy a cheap and wholesome article of food. We believe this New York decision stands alone in the extent to which it substitutes the judgment of the court forthe judg- ment of the Legislature on a strictly legislative question. — . — HOW MISSOURI GETS LEFT. Senator Vest is posing as a very angry man because the Senators of the four Re- publican States of Iowa, Lilinois, Minne- sota and Wisconsin stole a march on him and his colleague in the matter of the St. Louis bridge charter and induced a Dem- ocratic Secretary of War to send out a commission of engineers who examined the bridge question and reported against the St. Louis plan without letting the Chamber of Commerce or the two Missouri Senators know what was going on. These Republican Senators were at- tending to their duties as Senators, and were looking after what they considered the interests of their States when they obtained this favor from the War De- partment. Senators VEST and COCKRELL were at the same time attending to business which is no part of a Senator’s functions, and which really conflicts with a Senator’s duty. They were attending closely to the interests of their political henchmen. They were begging offices for office-seekers, rewarding the political services of personal retainers, apportion- ing patronage among them so as to pre- serve the equilibrium of the machine. In short, they were acting as deputy presi- dents for Missouri, rather than as her Senators, and while they were besieging the President for executive favors ofa kind akin to bribes when offered by a President and accepted by a Senator, a lot of Senators who dared not ask for office beat them in the bridge matter. Senators so intent upon office-brokerage that they permit their time and infiuence to be absorbed in scrambles for appoint- ments are apt to be remissin the graver and more important duties of their posi- tion. The courtesy of the Senate extends, we believe, tothe confirmation of all the disgraceful nominations a Senator may vouch for, but it does notrestrain Repub- lican Senators from quietly obtaining more substantial favors from the depart- ments while Democratic Senators are be- sleging the White House with relays of office-seekers. — _—_ mn. Ir THE Democrats show proper respect to the right of petition and submit that Prohibition amendment, with the Mo- Ginnis amendment providing for fair compensation for the damages Prohibi tion will inflict upon lawfully vested in- terests and lawfully established indus- tries, an effectual quietus will be put upon the clamor of the Prohibition- ista. Prohibition would lift a huge volume of taxation from the con- sumption of liquors and devolve the same upon the property and earnings of people who now pay but little of the State and municipal revenues derived from the liquor trade. When in addition to this new taxation the people of Missouri begin to count the cost of compensating for the property Prohibition would damage or destroy, there would be very few inclined to vote Prohibition into the Constitution.

THE vacant throne of Bulgaria has been made the subject of at least one joke of a de- cidedly practical nature. Russian ladies are as fond of sweetmeats 4s those of other na- tions, and their desires are satisfied by Polo- juchtow of Kharkoff, the greatest confec- tioner in Russia. Polojuchtow’s honey- cakes are famous all over the Empire, and his wits are said to be as soft as his honey. Recently the renowned pastry- cook was waited upon by three gentiemen, who represented themselves as deputies from the Bulgarian Sobranje. They told him that it was the earnest desire of the Parliament and people of Bulgaria that he should accept the vacant throne. While were speaking a telegram arrived from Sophia with the same request. Much elated, Polojuchtow invited bis visitors to dine with him, promising to return in half an hour. He put on his uniform (for he is a member of the City Council) and drove to the Rector of the University to ask his counsel in the mat- ter. The Rectoradvised him to go, not to Bulgaria, but to the—lunatic asylum. He began dimly to suspect that he was being hoaxed and hurried back to his house only to find that the deputation from Bulgaria upon mature consideration had declined his invita- tion to dinner by the simple process of levant- ing with all the valuables, money and paper in the pastry-cook’s bureau. THE statistical abstract for India contains some curious information relating to the in- juries inflicted on the population by wild beasts and venomous snakes. About 20,000 people are annually destroyed by these ani- mais, or at allevents are returned as being so destroyed; and of these, nineteen in twenty are said to be bitten by snakes. The number of human victims tends to increase in spite of the fact that the number of wild beasts and snakes destroyed has doubled in the last ten years, and that the Government reward paid for their extermina- tion has risen proportionately. Nearly two and one- halt lacs of rupees were thus paid in 1884. Next to venomous reptiles, tigers claim most victims. Leopards are the alleged cause of death to about two hundrea human beings annually. Apart from the loss of human life, the returns show an annual destruction of upwards of 50,000 head of cattle. SOMEONE has remarked that ‘‘many hands make light work.’’ The reverse would seem to be the case in Vienna where the greater the numberof Lands employed the louder, the more resonant, and the more satisfactory, is the result.

True, he has to pay his assistants out of this, butas he has recently purchased a pretty little estate in Hungary with his savings, the deduction is that his ex- penditure in wages cannot be large. He is supported by—and supports—some forty or fifty ladies and gentlemen of the opera and the ballet who have been in the habit of purchasing applause at the cheap rate of from $2.50 to No a month each.

The wine, how- ever, did him good and he was able to swallow it in fepeated gulps with infinite relish. On the same evening he pre- sided over a banguet in the Grand Hotel, where nearly one hundred guests were pres- ent. The clatter of plates and pop of cham- Pagne made cheerful music, but Meriatti’s knife and fork were, perforce, silent amid the feasting guests. He seemed to regard the rich viands, sauces and sparkling wines with a half-sad, half-amused air, and doctors that he will be unable to eat any sold food for twenty-five an@mic in feature, he is still apparently in spirits.

Drunkeiness having greatly increased in Switzerlant, the manu- facture of spirits has been male a Federal monopoly, all distillers being required to sell their produce to the State, which will then resell it to the cistomer. The quality will be improved, regulations being enforced as to the mnces used in distiliation ; but the retail price will be raised, the Federal Government exp@ting to clear £400,000 a year from the motopoly, 7% per cent of which must be spent bythe cantons on measures calculated to réduc the abuse of alcohol.

This is contrary to general opinion on the subject. ATTORNEY-GENERAL GARLAND still adheres to his early resolution not to go into society at all, and up to date has appeared at no public demonstration of any kind except the Logan obsequies in the Senate. THE appointment of the venerable Lord Na- pier of Magdala to be Governor of the Tower of London is in accord with the almost imme- morial custom of putting a very old officer in command of that oldest English fortress. A Boston lady who sent a bouquet of beau- tiful roses to Dr. Holmes on Christmas re- ceived from him this characteristic note: Many thanks, dear Mrs. P——, for the beau- titul roses; and if the gardens were as full of flowers as your heart is of kind feelings, they would leave no room for sidewalks.’’ AN ANECDOTE attributed to Gen. Grant has just been revived. ‘‘When Logan,’’ so Grant is reported, ‘‘comes here and wants twelve offices, and I give him eleven out of the twelve, he goes home mad, and curses the Ad- ministration fornot doing anything for him.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-D1sPaTou. New York, Janus 8.—The WORLD says: Can any one fail to see that Roscoe Conkling stands head and shoulders above all other Re- publicans in the State of New York as the most fitting and most valuable representative in the United States Senate? Can the services he rendered, the fame he won, the power he wielded in the Senate, in past yeers, ever be forgotten? Can it be doubted that an honest State Legislature, mindful only of the honor of the commonwealth and of the pubiio interests, would elect him by acclamation? Itis well known that he does not want the position, yet would not State pride and patriotism prompt the attempt to force it upon him? What a spectacle is pre- sented at Albany, where the contest for the senatorship degenerates into a discreditabie intrigue to be decided by the capacity of check books, and where the struggle is be- tween rival ambitions, without any considera- tion for the public interests or the greatness of the State.’’ THE SUN. The Sun says: The merchants of this city have hardiy shown as much interestin coast defenses and the ee of this harbor as the importance of the subject and the enor- mous amount of property now exposed demand. Yet, like the merchants of all cities on the seaboard and lakeboard, they are abso- lutely uninsured and unprotected against the danger of foreign attack, and even if the work of coast defense is begun at once it must still be five or six years at least before the cities can be safe. If attacks should come before the harbors are adequately protected the loss would be ruinous. The merchants of New York cannot do too much to persuade Con- gress to take measures for such protection. Hardly one of them but would be ruined it a hostile fleet should come within long-reach gun-distance of the town. THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘The banquet of the Jackson Club at Columbus, O., last night, was not a conspicuous success. There were enough guests presentto eat what was pro- vided, but there wasalack of active Demo- cratic leaders. As a matter of fact these gen- tlemen have fought shy of club banquets ever since their experience at one given by the Iroquois Club of Chicago some time ago. Moreover, why should bourbon statesmen col- lect their wits to discuss ‘The condition of the country and the Democratic party?’ They know, and everybody else knows, that the condition of the country is good, but that the condition of the Democratic party is bad, and never will be any better till it gets a change of heart and resolves to be honest.’’ THE TIMES. The Times says; ‘‘When Judge Brewer of the United States Circuit Court gave’ orders at St. Lonis, a few days ago, for the manage- ment of the Wabash lines west of the Missis- sippi, he remarked that Judge Gresham of the Seventh Circuit, ‘disregarding the comity that has heretofore existed between Federal Courts,’ had removed the receivers whom he had appointed. This wasacasein which this ‘comity’ was violated for the public good. The examples set by Judge Gresham may well be followed in other Federa] Courts. If this idea of ‘comity’ had not stood in the way, the people might now be free from the oppressive monopoly of the Bell Telephone Company. Whatthe people want is less ‘comity’ and more justice, and this want was supplied in the Wabash case by a judge whois decorated with the abuse of Jay Gould.’’ THE PEOPLE’S FORUM.

The music is better than in the old days, the tainly are as winsome and mothers and elder sisters used to — 10 „The difference is just here: Ten years ago the girls were nearly all belles. There were few whose cards were not filled before they entered the dancing room, while the more popular had their programmes scribbled all over and crossed and recrossed with names. Gentlemen like myself were rarely able to keep a good partner through an engagement because of ‘pirates’ coming in and taking the partner for all sorts of fractional parts of the dance. The girls had no end of a good time and so had the men. But nowadays thé girls are often objects of pity from the lack of attention they receive, I saw ee tt — 2 * ao wae: 1s a good Ba and who entertains IIberally, sit through two dances. If sucha thing h happened to her sister the latter would have leit the room in tears. 8 ps At the very time this pretty rosebud was sit- ting against the wall there were not less than a dozen men blocking up the doorway, — one of whom would have been gia to have danced with her under ordinary circumstances anda majority of whom were her acquaintances. They were absolutel afraid to, however. Why? They were afrai if tney did that no one would come at the end ofthe dance to take her off their hands, and while remaining with her for an hour or more yrould not be a r hard to bear, it was hardly the thing a dancing man would like to impose upon himseif at a ball. | 9 „At the rose ball I happened to ask a girl, who is more than ordinarily attractive to men of my age, to take a turn with me. We dan the dance through and then walked in pro- cession around the hall. At last, as the places were nearly taken for a square dance, I asked her if she cared to dance it, to which she replied in the affirmative. She could hardly have said no, as the alterna- tive was to sit alone against the wall orto continue her tete-a-tete with me. We danced the square dance, and then resumed our tour of the room. A round dance followed, and we danced the latter half ofthat. Then we promenaded again, going round and round the room in ceaseless turn. I signalied for help and so did she. We loitered as we passed the chaperons, and shook hands with every one within reaching distance. At lastI saw a friend approach, and hailed with joy my near deliverance. To my dismay he simply whis- pered in my ear to ask me if I could tell him from experience how many laps of the room it took to make a mile! Finally in sheer desperation I called up a kindergarten youth and handed over my companion to him, and was thus for the first time in three- quarters ofan hour freeto return to a lady who was placed in my charge early in the — and who had been exhibiting signals of istress and ki t come to her relief. obliged to retain man who could not well leave her until I re- turned. How many quivering lips and burning hearts kept time to the dance music that night I don’t know, but there must have been a good many of them. 2 0 There are remedies for all this, but I have not much faith that they will be resorted to. One of them is a return to dancing cards. | I kvow they have gone out of use, and that the senseless followers of senseless fashions would rather continue to suffer than consent to the reintroduction of programmes. If they werein use, however, there would be no awkward contretemps such as Ihave spoken of, A man would know by looking at the lady’s card just who to take her to when he had finished his dance with her. There would be plenty of men on her card for the very reason that it could be relied upon to limit their duties. But if the girl really had no engagement for the next dance she would then be compelled to goto some chaperon, or tothat refuge of the debutante’s woes—the dressing-room, as her attendant could not be asked on her account to break his next en- gagement. sas The other remedy is the girl’s mother. Mrs. Lackland made seme most sensible sugges- tions on this subject in the Post-DISPATOH last Thanksgiving Day. St. Louis mothers for years have permitted their daughters to take a latch key and go off alone with, practically any man who asks the privilege, to a ball which may continue until ( in the morning. The vulgarity of the thing ought to end the custom at once it there was no other reason ainst it. But here is the further reason that if mothers or aunts or married sisters should go out with young giris there ‘would then be some refuge for them in time of trouble of this kind. A man could take a girl to her mother when he would not feel like casting her on the tender mercies of a strange chaperone. Another eee | is in the girl herself. If she would consider what her position as a lady requires of her, she would insist upon being taken to a chaperone or some friend after an engagement. ut unfortunately she don’t, and I have been the victim on many an even- ing when I have danced and taiked and walked myself out, with a girl who had a horror of going to a chaperone or on to a passing brother. ‘‘I think I will give up society. THE CIVIL COURTS. Railroad Corporations Escape Damages in Two Cases—A Decision for Creditors. Railroad corporations, contrary to the gener- alorder of things in the courts under the dome, have fared well at the hands of juries this week. This morning a jury in Judge Bar- clay’s court brought in a verdict fh favor of the defendants in the damage suit of John 0. Meyer against the Tower Grove & Lafayette Railroad Company.

It was shown in evidence that the driver had used all ordinary care, looking track, and he made stop the car, but it was too late to prevent the accident.

THE QUEENSBERRY DIVORCE. No Defense to Be Made by the Marquis—, Plain Case. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, January 8.—[Copyright, 1887,} —The trial of the Queensberry divorce case at Edinburgh next week will proba. bly be quickly concluded. It is not be lieved that the Marquis will make any de. tense. The facts against him are so piaiy that any attempt todo so would be little more thanafarce. He is a most eccep. trio person, living in beautifully decorat. ed apartments in James street, Bucking. ham. He was well educated at Eton and Cambridge; is 43 years old and the father of five children, one of whom is a young man of 20. He is best known because of the connection of his name with the set of rules for the prize ring, of which his father was the author. The family have for many generations past been known for their sporting proclivities, one of the pres- ent lord’s ancestors, the last Duke of Queensberry, known by the sobriquet of “Old Q.,” being one of the greatest pat- rons of the race course of his day. Itis needless to refer to the old gentleman’s rascalities as far as the fair sex are con- cerned, Gilray, by his caricatures, and Thackeray, by his pen, having held up his conduct to public reprobation. The present Marquis is a little man with a face likes coachman. He rides well, shoots likes Western hunter, and, like his father, 6 A PATRON OF THE PRIZE-RING and of all out-door sports. He is alsoan amateur artist of considerable talent. His apartments, which he allows but few w sit, are stored with his own pictures and other works of art, making altogether one of the most rare and unique collections in London. The Marquis belongs to the famous Douglass family of Scotland, his full name being John Sholto Doug)asa, Besides being Marquis of Queensberry, he is Viscount Drumlanrig, Lord Douglas of Hawick~and Libbers in the peerage of Scotland and a baronet. His brother, Lord James Douglass, is a well-known author of travelers’ tales, and has spent a good deal of his lite in America. He too, is eccentric, but isa much finer looking man than the Marquis, being about six feet tall and well propor- tioned. A hardly less celebrated member ‘of the family than the Marquis himself | is one of his sisters, Lady Florence Dixie, who is also eccentric. The Marquis is an atheist and a free thinker, and because of this was struck off the list of the Repre-% sentative Peers of Scotland. His married life has long been unhappy, owing to hi eculiar notions and moral delinquencies | is wife was the eldest daughter of Mr. Alfred Montgomery, a well-know! and popular man about town. Of recent years the Marquis and Marchioness of Queensberry have lived together only at intervals. At pres ent the Satter has a house at 18 Cadogan lace. It is understood that Lady Queens- Serr who is a most estimable person, wo have brought the suit long ago bad she not been deterred by adread of the ublicity. It is to be tried at Edin — and thus probably little of the de- tails will get into the London papers. There mightbeany number of co-respondents, so rumor says, but it is understood that only one is to be called, namely: A female whom the Marquis has been living with in his apartments in James street, for sont time past.

I., January 8.—The “fash- dle divorce racket,” as irreverent sje designate the frequent applications divorce by New York women, begins in under the new order of things laid , by the Supreme Court. The peti- of Ella C. Hurlburt for divorce from husband Henry A. Hurlburt, Jr., of wew York, was heard yesterday before niet Justice Durfee and Justices Matte- and Stines. Thisis Mrs. Hurlburt’s und appearance in court. A year or vo ago she went to Providence, taking r rtments at the Narragansett Hotel a began a suit, The same charges were eas now, but what Mrs. Hurlburt's gounsel alleged was that a conspiracy to ympromise her position before the court successfully carried out, and she found petition dismissed. Some time pre- rious to the hearing of the case, the de- fondant sent a pathetio appeal to his wife pegging her to forgive him, promising ref- grmation and asking her to give up her git. Mrs. Hurlburt wrote to her hus- land telling him that if he would reform spd support her she would forgive him. prom that time forward until the day of the trial she heard nothing from her hus- pend. Then her counsel were confronted with her letter to her husband, and her tion was thrown out. The petitioner represented by City Solicitor Van sick of Providence and City Solicitor pekham of Newport, while the respond- @t has as counsel George Ashley of New yok and ex-Senator Colwell of Provi- ge. The respondent’s father, Henry 4. Hurlburt, is president of the Garfield National Bank and trustee of the Equita- die Life Insurance Company and resides at West Twentieth street, New York City. Tue morning was devoted to a read- ing ofa dozen or more petitions for the petitioner, going to prove gross intemper- anoeon her husband’s part. Depositions were made by Mrs. Catherine De Zerega, Mrs. Gurney, Mrs. White and several others. The first witness was Mrs. Green of New York, who testified that the respondent behaved in a most extraor- jinary manner to her one Christmas. She said that his conversation was dread- fuland she was compelled to inform him that she was old enough to be his grand- mother. Her son wanted to thrash Hurl- burt for his language to his mother. THE PETITIONER’S STORY. Mrs. Ella C. Hurlburt, the petitioner, then took the stand and astonished every- body by the character of her allegations and her description of her husband’s al- leged intemperance, Her testimony was as follows: “I was married in 1869. I knew him sinco I was a little girl; he was very intemperate for a long time, and, I think, for the last year we were together be was never sober; his intemperance was often years’ duration. I first noticed that de had contracted this habit while living in Twentieth street. We went abroad in ; Iwas suffering from insomnia, and he doctor told me I must go abroad I should be a confirm invalid. He did not drink while there; he was perfectly lovely, I tell you. When in liquor he was perfectly irrational and abusive. He never struck me; he weito call me a fool. Sometimes he would be under the influence of liquor when he left the house in the morning; he always drank in the night. He had liquor in the room. That was in Fifty-sixth street. We moved there in 1878. The house cost $35,000. The title is in my name. In — 1882, to ac- commodate Mr. Hurlburt in some business troubles, I put a mortgage of $12,000 on it. During the last two or three years prior to our separation he was intoxicated all the time. Often during the night he would call me into hisroom. Sometimes he was drunk, and sometimes he was not, but he was intoxicated. It was the same drunk. Laughter.) He always began to drink —~ ae — — Pe ae dinner. He usua re nk w ready for d 12 7 nen he got What did he do after dinner?’’ „Woll, sometimes he went out and sometimes he went to sleep on the sofa.“ Was it a natural sleep?) J should hope it was not sleep to most men.” KEEPING HER FRIENDS AWAY. Witness continued that toward the end she sto * ple coming t d not like her * 9 der & natural as she trouble. She then described a at Elberon, where her husband, — drunk, entered the parlor and distur concert. On one occasion he was — when she had been out driving with Mrs Zerega. “When we came back Mr. Hurl- but was then drunk. He laid down on the floor. I remonstrated with him, but did not dare say much, because I did not want him to disgrace himself more than he did. He used to think me ‘such a fool.’ Iremember Miss Tillinghast driving with usand Mr. Hurlburt began to say disa- eeable things about her brother, who lad not been avery bright and shining light. Once he went to dine with Mrs. Gurney and he was drunk. He came home intoxicated when Mr. and Mrs. Doremus dined with us. My mother died November, 1882. We were then living at 26 East Fifty-sixth street. On November ie . early in the morning my mother died. I saw my husband that aft- ernoon. Ile came to m father’s house very much intoxicated.

Con- tinuing, the witness said her house was worth now $70,000. She had found ita good investment. In 1881 her husband got on the down track, she said, and he went down pretty fast durin the whole time they lived gether. ‘‘My husband was liberal and generous to me so far as money matters went. He allowed me $300 a month to run the house. I paid every- thing except the interest on the — and the taxes. Before leaving New York I inquired of counsel what the causes here were for divorces. I came here two months afterwards. I consulted with counsel in Rhode Island four or five months after coming here.’’ A DELICATE QUESTION. “Had you any other grounds for divorce than continued drunkenness?’’ * | would rather not answer that ques- on. Now, you say at times he was drunk and again intoxicated, which do you say was continuous?” **Well, the last year.“ „Was he always drunk?” **Well, he had flashes of intoxication.’’ agg of laughter. . Huriburt bore herself well while on the witness stand, but there were times when her testimony was given in a man- ner that was not as sedate as it might be. This concluded the case for the petitioner. The defense o ed with depositions from Wm. Henry Hurlburt, a brother; Mrs. M. Hurlburt, the mother, and the tather of the respondent, whose evidence u the question of in y Aelgenee was tly opposed to that of the petitioner. Their depositions stated 1 Se they were n on the most co terms with the titioner who, the claimed, made her husband’s homeunhappy. The respondent himself took the stand, and created a very favorable impression. He was — the stand half an hour, and in explaining one quarrel, which he said his wife provoked, said it was due to jealousy. The case will be called to-day again. One pointin Mrs. Hurlburt’s testimony ap- peared to particularly attract the attention of the Court. She de- in direct examination that she left New York because she was * to and not for the purpose of seeking a divorce. In cross-examination she said she had consulted lawyers before leaving New York as to what were causes for divorce in Rhode Island and then went to a lawyer here a few months after arriving in this State. The Judges all made notes at this point, and as they are in r with the effort to break up the system of fashionable divorce im- rtation, the admission may tell against he petitioner. Washingten Avenue Blockaded. There was quite an excitement nearly all day yesterday at 809 Washington avenue. The crowd completely blocked the sidewaik. The cause of this tremendous crowd is the great consolidated assignee sale of three large wholesale clothing firms that failed. The three consolidated stocks consist of clothing, hats, underwear and other goods, and are being closed out at retailin the large six- story double building, 809 Washington ave- nue, between Eighth and Ninth streets, St. Louis. Everything is being sold at retail 50 per cent less than actual cost, as it ie ordered that the estate must be set- tled up within seven days from time of open- ing. We mention a few of the extraordinary bargains that are being offered, and remem- ber there are thousands of other bargains that we cannot mention here: Men’s fine quality beaver overcoats, $2.79; guaranteed worth $16 or money returned. We allow vou to keep this overcoat home five days, and if you do not think itis worth $16 we agree and bind ourselves to re- turn the §2.79. A splendid suit of men’s winter clothes, $8.99; guaranteed worth $18 or money refunded; an elegant pair of men’s winter pants for $1, guaranteed worth $3.50 or money returned. If any of the above goods are not soiled money positively returned if not satisfactory. Over 6,000 light and heavy overcoats; over 10,000 different kinds of the finest quality suits; men’s woolen jackets, 99 cents, worth $2; men’s finest quality fur hate, & cents, latest style, worth $3. Underwear and nearly 10,000 other goods we have no space to mention here, at 809 Washington avenue, between Eighth and Ninth streets, St. Louis. Remember, time is nearly up when this great sale must close. During this great sale the entire building will remain open until 9 at night. HOTEL PERSONALS. Rev.

It is for the purpose of proving that this tract is not a desert that the present work has been written. The expedition described was un- dertaken by two gentlemen, the author and an artist who figures under the name of Lulu, and is at present following his profession at Bridgeport, Conn. The public will remember the celebrated ‘‘earthmen,’’ from Kalahari recently brought before their notices by Mr. Farini. These earthmen were escorted from their native land by an old balf-breed hunter named Kert, and it was owing to the representations of this worthy, who described the Kalahari rather as a hunter’s paradise than a desert, that the author decided to in- vestigate the matter for himself - The party of three started from America on June 2, 1888, and in due time arrived at Cape Town. The opening chapter gives a vivid, though brief, description of the pleasures of railway traveling in South Africa. This, it will be remembered, is the very best line of railway on the continent. The ‘‘mail express“? destined to in- land the letters m bome that had ved on the previous evening was about to start, and there was the inevitable excitement which the departure of a favorite train always creates. Among the passengers were Dr. Sauer, Mr. Caldecott, Lulu and myself, bound for Hopetown, then the nearest station to Kimberley, but now united by rail to that city of d onds. When 1 heard that there was a Pullman poy Aye attached to the train I felt myself at home ala; and tried to imagine that the crowd of Malays were only negroes and to ignore the Semitic features of the majority of the loafers on the latform. ut on closer acquaintance he Pullman! bore quite as distant a resem- blance to the . — car ot the American railroads as the yellow skins of the Malay boys did to the ebony face of Sambo. On one side of the gangway was a row of seats for one per- son, and on the other side arow of wider seats to hold two. Over each of these latter the attendant or ‘‘steward’’ as he is called, suspended from the roof of the car a piece of canvas on which he laced a thin dirty mattress, and this was the bed. There was no covering whatever; and as 1 had stowed allmy rugs away in the luggage VOR. there was no alternative but to turn in al stauding, for by this time the train was some miles out of Cape Town. * The distressed farmers of Australia and Cali - fornia may take comfort to themselves on the perusal of this book, for greatly as they have suffered in the last three years for want of rain, the natives of South Africa have suffered even more. Our author thus describes the karroo: Such was the karroo where I saw it first, after a two years’ drought; the most terribie, arid, parched-up, kiln-dried,scorched, baked, burnt and God-forsaken district the sun ever streamed down upon, noteven excepting the Sahara,for there, there is nothing but sand,no object to serve asa foil to the solitude, while here the sense of desolation is intensified by seeing here and there a farmer’s hut. * * * As a sort of set-off, I suppose, to this parched-up condition of the karroo, I was told that in Oal- vinia and Fasenburg there had been no rain for three years. „Oh, that is nothing,’’ interposed @ well- informed man who knew South Africa. ‘‘Up in Namaqualand no rain has been known to fall for twelve years, and the natives are re- ported to have devoured their children in the madness of thirst and starvation, while in Great Namaqualand there is a district where rain has never falien. From these cheerful districts and remin- iscences, the travelers pursued their way towards Kimberley. This latter is the great diamond mart of South Africa. The railway ended at Hopetown andthe travelers had to proceed by coach from that village to their destination—a distance of seventy miles. The ride was not cuite so eventful as Dickens’ famous coach ride from the Potomac to Fred- ericksburg, noris itso graphically depicted; but it was not lacking in adventures which the author has undoubtedly done his best to describe. His account of Kimberley and the diamond industry is also interesting, but we will pass it by in order to dwell at more length upon the caravan journey across the Kalahari —the main adventure of the book. The preparations for his jeurney were made at Kimberley. They consisted in the pur- chase ofa wagon and team of six mules, to- gether with a shooting horse, a stock of powder and shot, pots and pans, kettles and coffee pots, blankets and beads, pipes and tobacco, pails and water barrels, and most useful of all, water bags. These last are a Cape institution, consisting simply of a stout linen bag, which is filled with water and hung in the sunto keep cool! The evaporation is so rapid that the contents keep nearly as cold asice water; just the thing for America. A further addition to the outfit was Jan, a half-breed boy, who was purchased along with the mules. This ‘‘boy’’ was flat-nosed, bald-headed, round-shouldered, of the mature age of about 45, smail of stature, with big brown eyes set in a wrinkled face, which was fringed with lanky, unkempt black hair. He was a native of St. Helena, and at a short distance so near- ly resembled a European, as to clearly indi- cate the existence of European blood in his veins. Atthe first settlement the travelers learnt that the entire journey would be over sand and heavy traveling for the mules, so Mr. Farini decided to reinforce their team with a pair of horses. A further addition to the party was made in the shape of a bastard“ or half- breed, who proffered his assistance in return for the journey to his home. Later yet it be- came necessary to change the mules for oxen and to increase the staff of men to six or eight, with which provision the party entered upon their long and solitary trip across the Kalahari. The few natives; they met were principally Boers and Bushmen. Of the latter our author gives the following description: These bushmen are as little known in the colony as they are in London, and owing to their lesy, improvident mode of life, they are soon likely to be known only as a tradition, for they are evidently decreas in numbers. If nature does not furnish f so that they can get it withous trouble, they go without. The only effort the make when stalking game, an when at last th succeed in killing a bok, they will sit and gorge till they can no more —in other words, till it is gone, never thinking of the morrow. I even saw two bushmen sit down to as -bok at sundown and never leave it till noon next yy tt there was nothing to leave. * * * Unlike both Bastards and Boers 32 — 2 . ything them ‘eth’ @ atever we gave gesture of thanks, Some of the women were quite yellow-skinned, in TN ; men O08 Yo formation of the nsisted of * spring - skin b — > of 00 * sional f of game and a spectal feast when- ever they can steal a few sheep or cattle. The greatest danger and inconvenience that our travellers had to face apart from wild beasts and wild men was the scarcity of water. Fortunately, however, nature provides for the needs of her children in these parts by a kind of fruit called lama, which resembies vegetable marrow in taste and appesrance,and yields water like the melon. Upon this fruit, and months ata time. Occasionally it happens that neither lame nor water are to be tound; then the sufferings ot the poor trayellers are terrible, indeed. Game is pientifal enough throughout the district and beasts of prey very much too much 80. The party had several most thrilling ad- ventures with lions and an amusing exper- lenco at a Boer settlement where the king pro- vided our author not only with a house but witha ready-made wife—free gratis and for nothing. Not relishing the caresses of the dark, oleaginous .and far from Kimmel- scented beauty, Mr. Far ini had to invent a series of excuses which did great credit to his powers of invention, but nearly cost him his life, as a false fortune teller. Later on in the work comes a wonderful and beautifully fllus- trated account of the Orange River with its innumerable cascades and the ‘‘Hundred Falis’’ the wonder of the world. The ulus- trations throughout, which are numerous and very fine, are reproduced from portraits taken on the spot by the indefatigable Lulu’s camera. The entire work forms a most in- teresting narrative relating to a portion of Africa of which little is known, lif there are one or two slightly ‘‘gauzy’’ travoler’s tales relating deeds of superhuman courage per- formed by the author andthe artist, in tack- ling lions and‘ ‘sich small deer’’ we forgive the soft impeachment, in view of the unmistaka- ble interest and apparent veracity of the work as a whole.

Recent reports show that diphtheria has caused alargely increased number of deaths during the present season. Whatever may be the cause, itis an established fact that sewer gas has much todo with sickness in our homes, and for this reason we would urge that fam- ilies give attention to the disinfectien of drain pipes by the liberal use of Platt: Chiorides. As a disinfectant Platt’s Chlorides is most powerful. It immediately destroys all foul odors and renders inert the subtle gases which too often find entrance through the waste pipes into our houses.

ITEMS ON ICE, Ieteresting Facts and Figures Abeut This Benson's Big Yield. A North 8t. Louis ice dealer, who has ‘‘staked a claim’’ on the east side of the river opposite the foot of North Market street, boarded a car, on which was a reporter of the Post-DIsPraTcu, last night, and was engaged in conversation about the crop prospects. On being compli- mented about the size.of the claim he had staked, he replied; Tes, and it’s the best 100 I have cut for years.

WORLD OF SPORTS. FALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES. Gleve Fight in New York—Billiards— Bow!l- ing and Baseball News—Sporting Gossip. A small crowd of base ball enthusiasts were gathered in the billiard room of the Laciede Hotel the other evening discussing the outlook for the season of 188%. Well,“ said an old sport in the crowd, ‘‘Isee that Von der Ahe has de- cided to play the Chicagos again next spring. „Tes; and he’ll beat em, too, said four volees at once. No doubt of it, gentlemen, no doubt orf it, said the old sport refiective- ly; ‘‘but that ain’t the trouble. He can beat em easy enough, but there’s one thing you don’t seem to count on. The old sport paused for a mement, as if waiting for somebody to ask What's that?’’ and sure enough somebody did come to the front with the interrogation. ‘‘*Well, I'll tell you what it is. You see there always was a little doubt about which was the better club, the Browns or the Chicagos. That is, there was a doubt bere in St. Louis. That doubt was pretty thoroughly dissipated when we did 'em up last fall. We won the championship from them and the Chicago crowd suddenly became very quiet. They’ve got to biowing their horn again now that the spring is coming on. They’ve got the dates arranged for the games, but the games are divided up so that part of them are played ia the spring and part in the fall. They are to decide the world’s championship too an@that’s just where the trouble steps in. It’s dollars to dougbnute that the Detroits will win the League championship for 87. If they do then the games with Chicago in the fall can't de counted as games for the world’s pionship because the Chicazos won't be pions any longer. If Spalding wins the series he’ll only win haif a world’s pionship and that the worse half. The better half will be lost when Detroit wins the right to it by winning the whole championship of halfthe world. Imagine Al walking down Madison street with haifa world’s champion- ship in his inside pocket next fall and the Browns down here playing the Detroits for the other half. — 2 0 The reason, Ithink, thatthe Detroits are going to win the League championship,’’ con- tinued the old sport ashe knocked the ashes off a Dlligentia, are — In the first place they haven't got McOormick, and if they did have him you know he’s got rheumatism and he can’t pitch like he did last year. Then George Gore and Dalrymple are gone, and as for Anson—well, he ought to be taking tickets next year instead of playing ball. The aboli- tion of the delt-line will kill his batting and that’s all he can do. Of course they've got Clarkson and Baldwin. Baldwin, ou know, is the fellow that pitched for the hkosh or Kalamazoo Club—I don’t know which—and struck out eleven men once. It Il be different though when he faces tne seven South Paw sluggers of Detroit. These are a few of the reasons why I think Detroit will be playing the Browns for the other half of that world’s championship next fall and you'll see I’m right.’’ ° om The latest phase assumed by the Smith- Knifton-Sullivan affair,’’ remarked Tom Kelly the other evening, ‘‘is a proposition by Char- ley Mitchell to bring Jem Smith over here and fight eight rounds with Sullivan. That, in my opinion at least, looks bad. Do you know what I think about all this talk of Smith fight- ing Sullivan? No? Well, I'u tell you in plain language. I think it is a preparation for a Kreat big hippodroming business. They’ll get Smith over here, work u a lot of sensational newspaper talk about the affair, get the public excited and then hire a hall. A match between Smith and Sullivan for eight rounds, according to Queensberry rules, would draw one of the biggest houses you ever saw and they’d make a fight well worth going to see; but then, that aint the question. When men of their class get fight- ing they ought to fight for a stake and to a un- ish with bare fists. That would be the right way, but if you don’t see some bhippodroming done, 1 know nothing about this business. 3 n AS BAD AS GREEK. The Jargon in Which a Base} Ball Game is Described.

BILLIARDS. Handicapsin Schaefer’s Tournament—Gos- sip of the Kail. The progress made thus far in the fourteen- inch balk-line tournament at Schaefer’s Hail has awakened interest in that event, and al- though but seven games have been played, considerable betting has been done on the Anal result. In the books Maggioli rules favor- ite, with odds of 5 to 1 against him winning first prize. Knightis inthe lead at present, having won two games. „„The handicaps in this tournament,’’ said Thatcher to-day, were arranged with the best possible care and discrimination, and if some of them seem to bea little out of the way they Only seem so. The only legitimate way to arrange a handicap is by taking records into consideration, and in this case the records couldn't be relied upon and the ability of the man as a general player was the basis upon which the handicaps were made. I see no reason why, under the conditions, Meggioli should not win the first prize.“ Sam Baidwin’s cushion-carrom tournament for amateurs begins this afternoon. There are twenty entries, and the prizes, which con- sist of jewelry, amount to $300. A four-cornered game of pin pool is carried on nightly at the Laclede rooms.

New YORK, January 7.—When Irving A. Lyon was rowing as champion he was a typical athlete, but five or six years of inertia and asuperabundance of good things have made his once athletic form assume almost Falstaman proportions, as can easily be seen from his dimensions. Lyon is barely 5 feet 4 inches, and now weighs 174 pounds. His in- creasing bulk has evidently not dampened his gameness, for the other night he gave it out in the New York Athletic Club that he thought he could best any of Mike Donavan’s pupils in a glove contest. Suchan attraction as thie was sure to reach the sports and one and all vowed to teach Mr. Lyon a lesson he would not forget, but when it came down to the question as to which one should stand for- ward and take the hard knocks much modesty was shown and it looked as though Mr. Lyon would add to his other championships that of champion boxer of New York. There was one, however, among them to whom Me““ was teaching the manly art who did not have any squeamishness about getting a black eye. This was George Fuller, Jr., who is studying law. He is the very opposite of Lyon. His altitude is 6 feet and he tips the beam at 147. Young Fuller did net say much but he managed to convey his regards to Mr. Lyon, and the consequence was an off-hand match to fight four rounds with a pair of regulation gloves. The affair came off at the sporting room in tne club house. Tne room was jammed and much betting was indulged in, Fuller being the favorite four to ve. The two men made very careful tollets and their esquires, having satis- fled themselves that ene wasall right, Donovan, who had been selected referee the rushe The terrific left- which Lyon caught Fuller in the stomach almost doubled him up, but he managed to retaliate with sufficient force on Lyon’s jaw to turn him balf way round, The pair fought without any great regard to science.

Burke Determined to Ignore Engiand’s Positive Refusal. ATLANTA, Ga., January 8.—‘‘If the United States wants volunteers to wage war against the English Government the Gate City Guards of this city is not only ready but anxious to do its duty, said an angry Atlanta man yester- day. The announcement that the application of the Guards for permission to enter British territory had failed created a sensation, which has engaged the attention and aroused the in- dignation of every young man in the city. The veteran Captain of the company is Joseph T. Burke, a gentieman of strong military tastes and who has the wealth to enable him to gratify his desires. Ten months ago he arranged atrip through Europe which should embrace military displays in the capl- tals of England, France, Spain, Germany and Italy. At once there were more applications for membership than could be accepted. Ar- rangements were perfected to charter one of the Red Star Line steamers and negotiations were opened up through Mr. Bayard, Secre- tary of State, for permission to pass through the countries named. Thursday nighbt’s mail brought to Gov. Gordon a sealed package from the Secretary of State and Capt. Burke was hastily sentfor. When the Captain came outofthe executive office he refused to talk, but it was soon learned that the Gate City Guards, as au organization, could not land in England. It appears that when Secretary Bayard’s application reached Mr. Phelps, the latter gentleman declined to deliver it official- ly, but in an unofiicial manner he ascertained that suchavisitas the one pro- posed could not bethoughtof. The fact was recalled that during the Phawnix Park sensa- tion in Ireland a similar application had been made by the Detroit Guards through Secretary Frelinghuysen. Mr. Lowell, whose anti-Irish policy was so well known, grew pale when he discovered that the. name of the company commander was MIKE WHELAN. The idea of allowing a man with such an Irish name to parade through Her Majesty’s dominions was preposterous, and he there- fore declined to push the matter. Therefore Mr. Pheips had a precedent to guide him, and he returned the negative response, which made Capt. Burke so serious. There happens, however, to beastory bebind all this. On March 17 last there was a monster Irish demonstration given in Atlanta. attended by the best people of the oity, at which Capt. Burke was the principal ora- tor. The Captain grew warm in his remarks and his speech displeased several well-known English sympathizers here, who, when Capt. Burke mapped out his European trip, sent co- d N , Gold and Silver Watches, Jewelry, ete. Also, Furni ond all Housefurnishing Goods in general, * OPEN AT NIGHT.

He said: One year more of it and I’ve done with fighting forever, but this last year I intend to make a memorable one.

Mike Conley, the Ithaca Giant,’’ who has been doing the knock-out act at Clark’s Olympic Club, Philadelphia, for a time paat, met Joe Godfrey forafour-round glove con- t Thursday evening: Conley is a big, powerful fellow, but not very scientific. His style is to rush his man to the ropes or side of the stage, and, holding him about the neck with his left hand, punch him silly with his richt. In his way Conley has stopped some fourteen men. Billy Gabig Pein the only boxer h has stoo in front of him for four full rounds since his engagement at Clark’s. God- frey tried the Tug Wilson trick of going down to avoid punishment. This set Conley to wrestling, and the set- to was little more than a rough-and-tumbile fight. Godfrey quit be- fore the end of the first round, but put on the gloves and commenced again when told that he would get no money unless he made a bet- ter show. He fought about two minutes of the d round, and then failed to get up in ten is when thrown, and Referee Jimmy leclared Conley the winner. Haggin’s Prospects. One of the California papers credits J.

Idon’t think the figure ismuch out of the : tween Dan Custy of Long Island and ‘‘Hap- py’’ Jack Lynch of New York will take place shortly. It will be to a finish, Jack McAuliffe, one of the champions who has been doing considerable fighting on paper of late, writes to John Reagan telling him he had better confine his attentionsjto boiler- making and leave the prize ring’’ alone. There is one man who will anxiously watch for the arrival of — Mitchell and Jem Smith. That is the invincible and unconquered Jack Dempsey. On the two Englishmen’s arrival Gus Tuthill, Dempsey’s backer, will match the pride of the Curragh of Kildare to meet either Mitchell or Smith. ‘*Toff’’ Wall, the English middle-weight champion pugilist, has not arrived in this country, nor will he before March. He wiil make atourthrough the Provinces, and offer a prize to any man who can stand five rounds before him. In this country he will be under the management of a well-known New York man, who will endeavor to introduce him to the public in au eight-round glove contest with Charlie Mitchell, who refuses to meet him in the old country.

Jheramenes are introduced. authors have added an imaginary ephorus, whom they Stylo Glaucias, whom they haye constituted -vyillain of their story. The people aa ripe for revolt, but have leader. Clreumstances point to Clito as their champion. He has already gained great influ- ence over the populace by an eloquent denun- ciation of Helle, the sensuous and unscrupu- jous companion of Critias and heroine of the tragedy, Who is put forward as a type of all that was beautiful and cultured and refined and cruel and profligate and rapacious in the Greek hetaire. The ascendency of are Clito is speedily confirmed by events. Clas bas cast longing looks on Irene, the only child of Xenocles, an old sculptor and philoso- pher and the tutor of Clito, whom he loves with more than paternal affection. In his en- deavors to get possession of Irene, Glaucias elle, who, furious at Clito’s de- nunciation of ber infamous life, conspires with Glaucias to bring Clito and all con- nected with him to ruin. But the emissa- ries of Glaucias are surpised by Clito in the very act of seizing Irene. Mounting the steps of the market place, he harangues the citizens and binds them by a solemn oath to rid them- selves oftheir oppressors. The crowd excited to a high pitch of enthusiasm and, crossing in a body tothe Senate House, they demand from ths alarmed ephori the instant release of Irene. Overawed by such a deter- mined attitude, the ephori yield, and the act drop falls on the triumph of the people who hail Clito as their leader and accepted cham- isaides by pion of their cause. The methods of the governing conspirators are developed in the second act. Helle takes advantage of the fact that she 16 unknown te Clito, and visits him at his studio under an assumed name and commissions him tc execute her bust. From the instant of her appearance Clito isdoomed. Her beauty ap- peals to everything thaé is artistic in nature; her conversation convinces intellect; her sympathy and her seeming puri- ty conquer his heart. She is the realization of his ideal. Why should he further pursue ideal beauty in marble, when hecan possess ideal beauty iu living reality? Deceived by: the hy- pocrisy of Helle into supposing her sympathies are on the side of the people, he reveals to her a secret rendezvous to be held that evening, and Helle takes her departureto convey thein- formation to Critias. When she leavesthe studio her conquest of Clito is complete. bursts into a rhapsody, and is interrupted by the entrance of A\enocies, who has recognized the retreating form of the visitor and over- whelms Clito with the diseovery that the ob- ject of his love is none other than the object of his execration, the infamous Helle. The scene ofthe third act is laid in the house of Helle. Fountains play inthe distance and the air is Ulled with incense: the lutes cf the slaves Ewe forth dreamy music, and colored lamps shed their subdued light a scene of sensuous luxury. Hither comes Clito to reassert bis virtuous indignation and to pour out upon Helle a torrent of invective, but she is equal tothe occasion. With con- summate hypocrisy she sets herself to refute the ‘‘calumnies’’ of her traducers, to protest her Own passion for Olito, to throw herself upon hu chivalrous 1 and even to 1er. Overw her protestations, bewildered by Pope Be ings, burnimg with love, and under the in- Nuence of a prepared cup which she adroitly administers to him, the patriot is lost in the lover, his tryst with the citizens is forgotten and the cause of the people betrayed. Both scenically and dramatically the fourth act is the most important in the play. The scene shows the court-yard of the palace of Helle where a troupe of bacchantes are dancing for the entertainment of her guests among whom is Clito, who still cherishes an implicit confidence in her virtue. Xenocles then en- tors, heartbroken und appalled, to open his eyes. Xenocles isthe type of common sense and experience as opposed to Olito iwho is the type of genius and enthusiasm. The father makes a despairing appeal to the gratitude and aifection of his son, but Clito is not to be moved until, in a final appeal to the bet- ter nature of hisson, Xenocles reproaches him with having betrayed the people who had put their trust in him, and reveals the attack upon and slaughter of anumber of his friends by the soldiers. His eyes are opened at last Turning on Helle, he accuses her of treachery, and the courtesan is compelled to show herself in her true character, She retorts upon Clito with an outburst of hatred and defiance, which wrings from him a despairing and heartbroken cry. Meanwhile Irene has n lured to the palace through the machinations of Glaucias and is concealed in an inner chambei, osten sibly for her protection, but really to Glaucias his opportunity. Events here follow one another too rapidly to be briefly narrated Enough to say that the citizens burst into the palace in search of lrene.

The soene is laid in ancient Athens, at the period when, under the dominion of the Thirty Ty- rants, the capital of Greece was at the zenith but had already of political de- through the social profligacy of her ruling classes. The selection of this period has enabled Mr. Barrett to present a gorgeous picture of Athens at the climax of its architectural su- premacy. Clito is a young sculptor and patriot of high moral character and purity of purpose, whose weakness lies in excessive refinement. Living in an ideal world of art, poetry and sentiment, he is unable to realize and grapple with the degrading realities of the world in which fate has cast his lot, and while full of the loftiest aspirations succeeds in accom- plishing nothing but his own moral ruin and ignominious death and the slaughter of his associates.

The Home Circle has failed thus far to reor- ganize, and, in fact, it is almost too late in the season now to accomplish very much should they succeed intheir effort. Thereisa general desire, however, on the part of the patrons of the Home Circle to have one grand ball, such as those formerly given, to close the gay season. A temporary committee has been ap. pointed by those interested to invite the gen- tlemen to join in carrying out this desire. Mr. and Mrs. J. M.

Not even the customary loafers were around, and only at train time was there any show of iife. The down-train was due at 6:10, but until then, as the sensational writers say, all was quiet as the grave.“ Nixie was the station agent’s daughter and only child. She was 15, although so small she looked three years younger, and was usually quiet as a mouse—‘‘not much zip to her. as the country folks said.

Preseriptiens a Specialty at Lewest Rate is not only a but also one given to about him with great minuteness, has be- come so acutely susceptible to the essential ugliness of the human ear that he scarcely sees anything else in the people about him than their ears. To a physician, an expert in nervous affections, whom he was wise enough to consult, this gentleman told his story somewhat after fashion: It was as many as five or six years ago that the sight of a particularly hideous pair of ears, one of which had been slit in a ghastly manner in some accident or fight, set me to reflecting on the extraor- dinary caprice of Providence in setting, in the most conspicuous place upon the head of its curious earthly achievement, such utterly absurd and unsightly contrivances as human ears. The ear is useful, no doubt; but might not an infinite ingenuity and an omnipotent choice have provided man with an audi- tory appliance less hideous than this con- solidated excrescence? I was led to ask myself, Is there any such thing as a beau- tiful human ear? I looked up all the pas- sages in polite literature in which the human ear is referred to, and found not only that such passages are ex- tremely few, but that the beauty orthern New SPECIAL NOTICES.

New Year’s always seems to me like beginning everything new,“ said the Hon. Russell Sage, the well-known capitalist. Lou know i used to have a bank in Troy, and you know, too, that no bank keeps open on New Year’s Day. Now, Canada is not so far away from oy asitis from New York. The cashier of our bank was a bachelor, and I deemed it my duty to seep a close watch on him for that reason. ou see he had no home ties to restrain him, and, although a valuable man to the bank, 1 was afraid he might be led to forget his * 1 must say there had never been a thing in his conduct that had come to my notice that could be construed as discred- — his integrity. I liked him for his genial ways and for the business qualities which he possessed to afar more than ordinary degree. The bank closed one year witha big — oy in its vault,and we proposed to begin the new year by extending our dealings in commercial paper, which was a very profitable part of the business. The large amount of ready cash that we had on hand enabled us to surpass the other banks. On New-Year’s Day 1 got to thinking how prosperous the bank had been, and when I went out in the edge of the evening forashort wayI almost un- consciously turned toward it. Just as I approached it I saw the cashier enter alone and close the door behind him. It flashed across me at once that the cashier might beonthe point of committing the very act that I had long feared. JL waited tosee if he would light the gas. He did not do so, and I was more than ever convinced that he was engaged in wrong-doing. I had a key, and let my- self through the outer door very quietly. I could then look through the inner glass doors directly into the bank. I saw the cashier in the vault, and in a moment he came out with a tin box in his hand and retired tothe directors’ room in the rear. 1 knew that the train for Canada passed through Troy in the middle of the night, and I determined to confront him. l accordingly rushed forward, and throw- ing < pen the door exclaimed: ‘Sir, I have detected you!’ He was * taking a spool of thread and a needle out of the box to sew a sus- pender button on his trousers.“ RED Cross COUGH Drops will cure your cold.

Everybody was going home to spend Christmas, and all were in good spirits. Wewere all sitting in the smoking-room prepping lies, and the par- son told as many good stories as any of them. About 11 o’clock Christmas Eve one of the gentlemen remarked: ‘This will be the first Christmas eve in thirty years boys, that I haven’t hung up my stocki g. What's to hinder this time!“ the par- son said.

When we called him in he found his stock - ing bulging with more or less elegant presents. He fished out a handful of good cigars, a handsome card-case from a drummer’s sample valise, a curiously fashioned key-ring from Scotland,and any amount of cards and rubbish, including a champagne cork. Nobody seemed to know where that came from, but every one looked suspiciously at the parson. That scheme proved sucha success that we decided to fill every man’s stocking, but not to openthem until after mid- night, so each man went out in turn while the others filled his stocking, and there we sat, one shoe off and one shoe on, for half or three-quarters of an hour waiting for Christmas Day. It was ludicrous to see nine men sitting around, each with ator,’’ might be called a doubtful compli- ment to Nixie. Well, this particular afternoon we are talking about, the aforesaid plug“ saun- tered into the depot with trouble en- throned on his majestic brow. „Nick, I'm summoned on a jury case up to the Centre Village this afternoon. It’s too late to get anybody here, even s’posing there was anybody to get. hat are we going to do about it? S’pose you can ’tend the concern alone until I get back—probably by 6?” 1 guess so, father,” replied Nixie. „There won't be much of anything to do. Likely there won’t be many passengers for the down train this hot day, and I hope I know enough to sell aticket or twoif there are.“ „Well, see that those boxes go by ex- press. The waybills are ready and in the drawer. Guess you'll get along all right,“ and off he went, leaving Nixie mistress of the situation, which phase meant more than you might imagine that very partic- ular day. At first she felt her newly acquired im- portance somewhat and stepped briskly around, dusting the musty littie office and watering the few —— n the window, but there being absolutely nothing to do and no one coming near, she dropped into inactivity and listened to the click of the telegraph instrument, which to her was as com ionable as the talk of near friends would be. <As the afternoon passed drowsily along, the heat and — overcame her, and dropping her flaxen head on the desk before her, she was soon —as one of the good ladies of Parkerstown was wont to express it—‘‘in the arms of Morphine.“ Atterwards the first thing she could re- member about it, a voice seeming to come from her dreams said: Taint likely she is left here alone and asleep too.“ No,“ responded another evil voice, “the old man’s prob’ly ’round some- where—but,” in a lower tone, ‘‘come on, lets go long. The downtrain’ll be along and we'll just lay 'em out.“ Nixie was wide awake enough now, but she had presence of mind enough in her small body, and realized that safety lay in keeping still. Ho fur is it up there?’’ Sh! Keep mum. Do you want to knock the hull thing in the head, and yourself too?” And then theglrl's quick- ened hearing caught the sound of heavy footsteps passing by the window and on up the track. ‘ixie waited until she couldn't hear the footsteps, and then cautiously turned and looked out of the window. There they were—two miserable-iooking tramps has- tening up the track. She recognized them at once as two men who had been dis- charged from a construction train that had been at work down the road. What should she do? Oh, if she could send for her father! But there was no one any- where near, and, besides, by the time he could get home it might be too late for it was evident that the desperate wretches were bent upon revenging them- selves of their fancied wrongs upon the innocent. She looked at the clock. Half post four! She ran out and looked around he lonely station. No living being in sight. Shecalled once, feebly, but what was the use? If she sent for her father she had no tangible 21 to give or real reason to make him hurry home only she was sure there was harm coming to the down train—that long crowded ex- press filled with mountain tourists. But she must do something. The men had disappeared around a slight bend inthe track. Nixie ran in, locked up the office, snatched a hat from a nail in the corner and then hurried up the track until she arrived at the slight curve. Then she ‘‘made haste more slowly,“ for there were the men. Step- ing behind a clumpof bushes she watched hem. They had stopped and were doing something, she could not at first see what, to the track. Pretty soon up came a rail, and in a minute more it was thrown down a steep ledge within four feet of the track,where the whole train must be pre- cipitated in less than an hour if — could not be done to warn them. Nixie saw it all now and for a moment stood, her eyes dilated with horror, while she saw the scoundrels shake their fists to- ward her way and heard an imprecation. Then they passed on and Nixie, growing cold in the sudden extremity, turned and sped toward the depot. The rail had been removed on a curve which was shaded on the west side by a will in eminent the ’ the most gallant and distinguished officers in our service was Gen.

Then she read a note: ill Miss Eunice Markham accept the acconpanying from the friends she so bravel; saved August 23, 1880??? The note was wrappec around $00 in bank notes. **Oh, papa! now you cH pay off the mortgage on the house,’’ ¢ied Nixie, and the father said: “I declare, Nick, you ge higher wages as agent than 1 do!“ The superintendent of he Q. & L.

IRISH SOLDIEtsS. Jefferson Davis Writes Abou Some of Those in the Confederate Army. The January number f Donahoe’s Magazine prints an interesing short arti- cle on The Irish Element iia the Southern Confederacy,” in which is quoted the fol- lowing letter from Jeffersor Davis: BEAUVOIR, Miss., July 6, 1886. Daniel E. O' Sullivan, Esq.: DeEaR Sir: The letters written to me dur- ing the war were all lost or stolen about, or soon after, the close; the reports made by army commanders were many of them captured among the papers of the Ad- ant-General. These and others are u — published by the United States Government in the official record of the War of the Rebellion.” From these you be able to extract information regard to some of the most Irishmen who served in Confederate Army. Among Capt. Mitchel, a son of John Mitchel, was killed Charleston harbor. Capt. Atkins, to the Confederacy, and in the For gallantry and good. conduct he was promoted to a vacancy created by the casualties of that battle, and served with great gallantry in subsequent engage- ments, until he was disabled by wounds and was placed upon special service at Richmond. After a time he was informed of his father, and that the Ireland. announce return to me to his upon required He called the fact, adding that he would not leave were it not that the surgeons had told him he would never again be fit for field serv- ice. Before leaving he said when he reached home he would send his younger brother to take his place. Notwithstand- ing the difficulties which then existed on account of the blockade, in due time his brother arrived and reported for duty. Of the elder Atkins, who died of his wounds after his return to Ireland, I have vivid remembrance as he appeared near the close of the battle of the first Manas- sas. He was aman about 6 feet 4 inches high, broad-shouldered, gaunt-waisted, big boned and with every indication of eyed and activity. He was serving in he ranks ofthe Louisiana Tigers. As I referred to, all comparisons of delicate, pink-edged feminine to the trans- lucent interior of sea-shells and the like are simply comparatiye. No poet ever thought, so far as I could find, of finding absolute beauty in the ear. It is only asa pendant or an accompaniment, less hide- ous than usual, tothe beautiful head and face of a lovely woman that the actual ear itself, asapart from the faculty of hearing, ever becomes tolerable in poetry. In art the ear is a thing to be dissembled; no realist was ever so unblushing as faithfully to paint the ear as it is. Photography reveals it in all its ugliness, but poetry bears the same relation to art that the dissection of the body does to the love of humanity. The running of these through my mind led me to start a sort of Holy Grail quest for a really beautiful human ear, and at the same time, I found myself searching out, whenever I got upon a street car or a railway train, and as I walked down the crowded streets, all the ugliest ears, with the instinctive eagerness of connoisseur. The ear habit upon me. I became a of collector of ears. When I came into a railway train filled with people my eyeran down the long rows of ears next the aisle to see whether there was a vacancy in the devi- ous lines thatI might fill with my own. That row of ears, to a man who had fallen in the habit of observing nothing else but the ears, was horribly suggestive of a sea serpent! I say that all this began five or six years ago, but of course my mania—for such it has become—did not at all take this serious form. It has been a gradual growth. Now I find it threatening, perhaps not my mental balance, for I feel capable of maintaining that, but my mind certainly, and all my old sensibility to the beauty of the human form and the loveliness of life about me. My old keen sense of the beau- tiful I lament, as a fallen angel might la- ment the joys of paradise. For me there is nothing in the world but ears, ears, ears. The pleasure that I sometimes feel in meeting a speci- men less hideous than the rest does not repay me for the offense which the uniform dead level of ill-shaped growths intlicts upon me, and I am resolved, if medical science can do anything for so strange a malady, to takethe utmost pos- sible advantage of it. If it could so influ- ence my organs of sight as to make it im- possible for me ever again to see the hu- man ear at all, it would bea consumma- tion devoutly to be wished.’’ I under- stand that the eminent physician consulted in this case was nonplussed for a time, but has at last suc- ceeded in so influencing the suf- ferer’s thoughts and attention by di- verting them to other channels, that he is already somewhat less poignantly conscious of the ears he sees, That the doctor is, in fact, fighting the old mania with a new one, and intends to check the new before it, in its turn, shall take ossession of the patient, as did the other. he case, I have no doubt, will suggest to more than one reader something of asimi- lar sort in his knowledge or experience. It is only one of many morbid outgrowths of the keen consciousness. the rawness of sensibility that overwork and intense mental strain have superinduced. For Throat Diseases and Coughs.

Grant died at the age of 63. Gen. Logan died at the age of 63. Gen. Hau- cock died at the age of 61. Gen. Mo- Clellan died at the age of 60. Gen. Hal- leck died at 59. Gen. George G. Meade died at 57. Gen. George H. Thomas died at 54. Gen. W. T. Sherman is the only one of the few greatest Generals of the war who has passed far beyond the fatal 63, and Farragut, its greatest naval hero, died at 69. Grant, Logan, Hancock and McClellan were men who, iu the ordinary course of nature and in circum- stances of peaceful life, would have lived if not to extreme at least to advanced old age. They died years before the time naturally allotted tothem. Meade and Thomas were of more fragile mold, and ielded earlier to the weaknesses of yroken constitutions and to the causes that shortened their lives. All the great Generals of the war who have died since its close evidently met premature deaths. a very pretty young girl who was spending a few weeks here with her mother. She was decidedly citified in her man- ners, and of rather a coquettish and romantic nature. The young man in question became very much struck with the young woman’s attractions and was quite devoted in his attentions. Young men are scarce here, and the city maiden was by no means loth to accept the attentions of the good-looking young farmer. One night the couple were sitting ina hammock which was swung near the win- dows of the hotel parlor, and a certain person sitting near one of the windows overheard their conversation. The moon was shining brightly and the crickets chirruped merrily, which fact may have prompted the maiden to coyly ask: “What is God's best gift to man?“ Having asked the question she blushed a little and let her long sweep- ing lashes hide for a moment her down- cast eyes. But the young man was equal to the oc- casion, and after hesitating a moment he answered, confidently, ‘*a hoss.’’ The moonbeams were just as bright and the orickets still continued their song, but the maiden was suddenly brought back from her romantic world to the practical reali- ties of a farmer’s life.

So Nixie thought to herself, “I’m s glad I came, for now I’ll hurry and tel- egraph to Stratford before the train comes by, and then we’ll see, Mr. Tramps, how your, little scheme comes out.“ She reached the office and looked at the clock. Five minutes to6! and the train left Stratford at 5:03. Well, eight minutes was more than plenty of time ff she could raise“ Stratford. She grasped the key. ““‘Sd-sd-sd” clicked the instrument. Never before was there so impatient an operator on that line. With her eyes on the clock, which seemed then, if ever, to say or- ever—never—never—forever,’’ she kept u the call. Somebody on the other side ‘broke her” twice, but she gave all the danger signals she could think of and kept on. The moments kept on—one, two three, four, five—slowly pealed the old clock—each stroke an agony to the girl. Meanwhile the agent at Stratford could not operate at all, and the boy who could, and who served as general chore-boy about the place, had gone for the cows, and there wasno one to answer the call on which so much depended. rode past a spring giving a small supply of water and around which the men were gathered with cups to catch it as it drained out, I saw Atkins, whom I recognized, because on his arrival he had called upon me at my office, standing with his hands crossed on the muzzle of his rifle with the air of one who defied thirst as he had danger and fatigue, and he so impressed me that I spoke to Maj. Wheat, commanding the battalion, and asked if there was no place to which At- kins could be properly assigned. He told me there was a vacancy of caplain, to which he thought the company would willingly elect him. Suffice it to say that he fully justified the impression he had created upon me. Iam sorry 1 have no records to refresh my memory in regard to the Irishmen who performed gallant and valuable serv- 10% in our army. They were of two classes those who were residing in the South be- fore the war, and those who, despite the difficulties of getting transportation,came to us to fight for home rule—came at their own expense, joined the army without bounty, notwithstanding our poverty and destitution in all the terial of war, served with patriotic fidelity and Irish gallantry wherever they were tried. At page 236 and following of Vol. II. of The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government,” 9 will find a report of the battle of abine Pass, Tex., where forty-four men commanded by Lieut. Dow „ all o them Irishmen, achieved the most won- derful victory that I believe is to be found in the annals of military history. Re- pectfully and truly yours, JEFFERSON Davis.
