Mr. W. A. Simmons, the well-known ex United States Collector of the port of Bostoa, has been in the city a number of days attend- ing to an important legal case. A PoOsT- DISPATCH reporter ran across him yesterday at the office of Mr. Wm. Patrick, and bad the pieasure of a somewhat lengthy {talk with him on political matters. Mr. Simmons is a very piessant gentlemen. Ile is probably not over thirty- five, and is young to have made so much talk in the world. He would be taken for anything but a scheming politician. In his expressions he is entirely trank, as will be seen below. ‘*Would you like to be interviewed’’’ asked the reporter. „On what subject?’’ ‘*Politics.’’ I'm out of polities.

Do vou think Tilden is really a candidate?“ „1 regurd Tilden as the ablest poiitical wanipuiator, and the most unserupulous as well, among the leaders of the Democratic party.

They want no better text for a eampuign speech than the words used by two of the leading Democrats, one in the House and the other in the Senate.

It is gratifying to know that the Loan Bxhi- bition is meeting with good success. It cor tainly deserves to be well patronized. It pre | sents the most interesting collection ever sen — to | inthecity. The wealth and the culture of not only St. Louis, but the whole world, has con- tributed to it. Five large halis of the old Mary Institute are crowded with works of art and curiosities that would furnish study and admiration fora lifetime. Here are porcelain and pottery, bronzes, brasses, ivo- textile fabrics, embroideries, laces, fans, jewelry, miniatures, missals, early priated books, pictures, engravings, curios, relies, Ind antique furniture.

If the electric light is to be substituted for gas every objection to a compromise will dis- appear. COMMODORE C. K. GARRISON, a resident of New York, and only incidentally interest- ed in Missouri and not at all in St. Louis, has put the wealthy men of that tity to shame by subscribing $5.000 to the bonus of $125,090 demanded by Mr. Thomas Allen as a condi- tion precedent to undertaking to rebuild the Southern Hotel. The papers of St. Louis show their appreciation of the Commodore’s munificence by nominatiag him out of hand for President of the United States, and pledg- ing bim the vote of Missouri in advance.—|In- dependence Democrat. The Commodore is the only man whose nomination would be truly national, not sectional. He could be claimed by all sec- tions. He is as much a citizen of California and Missouri as of New York. SMALL villages on the lookout for Fourth of July orators would do well to keep an eye on Kerner. M. C. Kerner is a first cousin to T. Jefferson Brick, and in the course of his remarks yesterday he express- ed the beautiful sentiment that, should the final arbiter be appealed to on the b——y theater of war, he hoped the stars and stripes would ever be an emblem of liberty "and protection for all citizens of this ro- public on land or on sea, at home as well as on the abroad.“ We hope they will, Kerner, but all the of any ; 1 arbiter, er of war, but that the present little difficulty can be settled by a moderate expenditure of wind and jaw, of which there is enough and to spare in the halls of Congress. Ir it is possible to find a stupid objection to any measure the Republican is pretty sure to find it. It objects to the appointment of porte Crayon’’as Minister to Mexico on the ground that he isaliterary man, and argues grave dangers and complications to our (di- plomatic intercourse with the sister Repub- lit, and even cites the precedent of the ap- pointment of Bayard Taylor as a case in point. We doubt whether there is another newspaper in the world capable of admit- , stupid an argument into its columns; doubt if where else could be found a arning his living by pen would gravely argue that his own profes- sion unfitted a man for any public duty, es- pecially the duties of diplomacy. The truth is that the one redeeming feature of the Republican appointments for the past eighteen Fears has been the enlightened and generous recognition extended to lit- erature, and the records of Bancroft and Marsh and Motley and Lowell and Taylor more than justify the sagacity which se- lected them to represent at foreign courts a Governmertt which despises ‘‘them liter- ary fellers’? at home.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Jam much obliged for the copies of your journal you havo been so kind as to send me, containing, among other things, my triend Gen. leauregara’s views on the jetties. Gen. Beauregard and myself were for twelve years (1840 to 1852) ia the closest professional and most intimate personal relations as engin- eers on duty together in New Orleans. Questious connected with the Mississippi—its ‘‘Jevees,’’ ‘‘crevasses’’ and floods—and with the bar obstruction at the mouths—were cen- stantly before us. The very last duty we per- formed together was, as members of the board of 1552, to inaugurate the system of ‘stirring up,’’or*‘scraping’’to obtain a navigable chan- nel over the bars, at the sume time mentioning jetties as a future resort. The ‘‘stirring up’’ system (for the dredge boats Essayons and McAlister were but im- proved machines for that process) inaugurated by us superseded and was virtuallyjkept in use till suspended two years ago by the jetties. In your report Gen. Beauregard mentions me as the“ one member of the first board who wasintavor otthe proposed plan.’’ The board to which he aliudes had no pro- posed plan’’ before it but that of a ship canal. I myself, opposing a ship canal and urging the necessity of an ‘‘open river mouth’’ as the Only kind of outlet adequate to the Father of Waters, proposed and advocated jetties De- cember, 1573) as the coimparatively cheap and effective way. Capt. Lads’ proposed plan’’ was then un- known to me, entirely independent of mine. It was to his enterprise and influence that the final adoption of the planis mainly due, and has been carried to its present triumphant suc- cess. The only matter of regret that I can feel is thatthe work bas been lost to the Corps of Enyincers. lam, very respectfully, J. G. BARNARD.

The sales of the new ten-dollar tetunding certificates at the New York Post-oflice have been rapidly inereasing for the past wel Yesterday they reached over $70,000. Post- master James hus goneto Washington to ar- range for supplying certificates in greater guantities. The law provides that at the Post- office not more than $100 shall be sold to one applieant at ene time, but some applicants have taken their places in the line as otten as possible and got as much as $5,000 in one day. In some cases telegraph boys and other mes- sengers are employed to hold placesin the - line. THE WABASH. The long conterence between the ex Com- missioner ofthe Wabash Railroad Company and Commissioner Fink has just been held. At the outset the Commissioner is under- stood to have admitted that wrong had been cone to St. Lonte gy Ohicago roads. He said ne wished to remedy it but was not certain how the result could be reached, Ho admitted also that the Wabash Company had the power to interfere seri- ously with the schedule rates on West- bound freight. It was replied on the part of the com- pany that no settlement was vossi- ble that did not recognize Toledo as u terminal point and secure a uniform rate per mile to St. Louis as well as Chicago. Aftor a long discussion the conference concluded on a promise ot Commissioner Fink that the rates complained ot should be remedie:. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEKARANCR. The friends of Col.

CHICAGO, ILL., April 26.—A Daily News spe- cial from Lowell, Neb., says Stephen D. Rich- ards will be hanged between 12 anal o'clock, at Minden, a small village twelve miles from the railroad. He was taken yesterday from the State Penitentiary at Lincoln by Sheriff hiernie and a strong guard and brought here by the Burlington River Rail road, arriving here last night. He was placed in A FARM WAGON and, under the guard of about fifty farmers armed with shot guns, conveyed the distance of twelve iniles to Minden. There was a rumor that a purty of cOw-boys had PLANNED A RESCUE; hence Sheriff hiernie’s precautions.

He exhibited considerable agitation and nervousness, and had to be as- sisted on tothe scaffold, Sheriff Kiernie ad- justed the noose and pulled the trap. HISTORY OF THE SIX MURDERS. Richards, the Nebraska murderer, was sen- tenced to be hung to-day, just 101 days after his sentence, the shortest possible time affixed by law. A reporter interviewed himin jail, and the horrible story of his murders were thus detailed by himself: HIS TRIAL, he said, was ashort affair, and, tike agmal! horse, was quickly curried. He was taken from the Kearney Jail to Minden early Wednes- day morning. The trial commenced before Judge Gaslin and a jury of twelve citizens, at 9o’clock the same morning, and by 40’clock in the afternoon he was convicted of killing Peter An@erson, and sentenced to be hanged onthe 26th day of next April. He remarked that the jury was not fully convinced of his guilt at Urst; that they stood six for MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE, three for murder in the second degree, and three for manslaughter. [Itis told that the statements that the jury hung half and half, and that Judge Gaslin remanded them to their room almost with contempt, are mistakes. jhe Judge manifested no such disposition,and the on estion among the jury, probably, concerned the fact of premeditation—that point, including the factot the previously made grave, not having been brought before them in the clearest manner. Hie says he pleaced not guilty to the charge ot murdering Anderson. Vhat while he con- fesses to killing Anderson, he says he did it in self-defense. Anderson said he CALLED HIM A LIAR, for which he Knocked him down. When An- derson arose, he started for an axe, and Rich- ards grabbed a hammer and brained him on the spot. After he had killed bim he carried his body down stairsand buried it in the coal heap. Pievious to this he says he was on good terms with Anderson,; but he had never Leen accustomed to being called a liar, and thas when he struek Anderson he Knew it was 90 be u death struggle for one of them, and he was determined to be the winning inan. IHE HARALSON FAMILY, he said, he murdered in the morning, when they were sound asicep. In answer to our question, Did you have any difficulty with Mrs. Haralson? he guietly remarked, *’None whatever.’’ When we asked him if he did not regret uiurdering the woman and her three in- nocent little children, he said. No, lcaa’t say that Ido. When we asked what his mo- tive or object was in Kling them, he replied, „„ don’t kuow, I determined to kill them several days betore, and had prepared a grave forthe reception of the bodies. HOW HE KILLED THEM. He says he killed the mother and her three children with an axe, and that neither of them, to use his own language. even whispercd’’ atter he struck the fatal blows. The mother and oldest girl were sleeping in one bed, and tle othertwo children in another bed, in the same room. He killed the mother first, strik- ing heron one side of the head with the flat of the axe. She moved and seemed to ile then dealt ber the second blow, which, he says, caused instant deuth. The daughter lying by her side was al-o killed in the same manner, WITH TWO LLOWS OF THE AXE. Hie then visited the bed where the two innocent little children lay, and with two more biows Hethen drugged the woman to the grave be hau prepared, and then he carried the oldest girl and threw her on top of her mother; then retracing his steps he carried the remaining two, one under each arm, and DKOPPED THEM INTO THE GRAVE. After thefour bodies had been placed in the hole, be covered them with the loose dirt and Spread some loose straw over the dirt, and went quietly to work getting his breaktust. He de- clares that a man named Brown, now in Texas, was inthe house with hiin at the time he killed the Haralson family, but that he took no part in the murder, though he knew what was go- ing on. Aiter the bodies were buried, Brown, he says, left bim, and he was alone in posses- sien of the property and MONARCH OF ALL HK SURVEYED. He remained in the house some two or three weeks after the family had been disposed of, and would bave remained longer, only the neighbors were getting too inquisitive as to the whereabouts of the missing family. During his recitalof the above tacts, he never by word or action expressed the slightest sorrow for what he had done, and frequently during the conversation he indulged in laughter. kn an- swer to the question: ‘WHICH ONE OF THE MANY MURDERS you have comummt ed do you regret?’’ he re- plied: ‘‘lcan’t say thatl regret any of them,“ and looking us square in the face,he said, *‘Do ] look like u man in mourning? No, sir; I have killed these people and I don't regret it. I have a good appetite and can eat three square meals a duy, and siecp just as soundly as you do. 1 considered the matter well before I com- menced, knew the consequences it diseovered and captured, and am now ready and willing to abide by them.’’ HIS PREVIOUS HISTORY is wellknown. He was burn and raised in Ohio, bas a father, five sisters and one broth- er. He had been raised’a Christian and belore he cume West was u regular attendant at church and Sabbath school. Back home he was considered u good, upright boy; but when he crossed the Missouri River, about three years ago, he became achangod man. Frouma meek and unassuming young man, he changed to a reckless duredevil. His FIRST VICTIM was killed in Western Nebraska, close to the Colorado line. The murder, he says, was also committed in self Xtefense. The victim, whose nume he does not give, stopped him on the road and demanded his money. * 1 Le Instend of the money, be pulled trom his pocket a six-shooter und killed him onthe spot. This, he says, oc- curred about two years ugo. HIS HABITS, he says, were alwavs good. The first drink of intoxicating liquor that he over took in his Life was Over a bur in Kearney last March. He never played a gcume of Cards until he came West. But now, hesaid, laughingly, I propose to quit all my vad habits, nd vovthe 26th of theroughly reformed. LEGISLATIVE LOG.

John McGuffin Wants a Receiver Appoint- ed to Wind Up the Concern. Mr. John M. McGuffin, one of the proprietors ot the Evening Star, and filed, through his attorneys, Messrs. Tur- ner & Harrison, a petition to have the publica- tion of the Star stopped, and a receiver ap- poiuted to take charge of the property. Plaintiff states that on the 7th day of Decem- ber, 1878, be and defendants made and entered into a certain agroement whereby they bound and associated themselves together for the purpose of engaging in the business of publish- ing a daily, weekly and tri-weekly newspaper, to be called the Evening Star, and for the pur- pose of engaging in tho business of book and jol printing in this city, each party or partner to be interested in ; said business, profits and property in propor- tion tothe capital stock by him contributed, and the losses to be borne equally. It was pro- vided that plaintiff was to be business mana- ger, bookkeeper, etc., and have control of the business interest and financial matters pertain- ing ta the business. Cunningham was to be editor, and Hodnett was to be the out- side man, the duration of the part- nership to be lett to the will and pleasure of the parties, the agreement, however, not providing for the ter- mination ot the business nor for the winding up of the affairs thereof. The contribution of the respective parties to the capital stock ot the paper is stated to be as follows: By plaintiff, $3,600. By Cunningham, $1,800. By Hodnett, $2,500. The petition thei alleges that thereafter and until now said business of editing and pubiish- ing said newspaper and of job print- ing and book binding bas been and still is, operated and carried on in said city of St. Louis; that upon the com- mencement of said business plaintiff and de- fendapts entered into the discharge of the du- ties severally imposed upon them by said agreement, and that plaintiff did at all times faithful) vy and diligently perfortn the duties in- cuml e t upon him as mi .nager antil the 12tk. day cf April, 1879, since whien time e has been r evented trom exzercisirg his said rights and «li ties by defendants,and that the defend-— ants Dave wrongfully violated, and nov: o violtte the terms o said agrremsnt in ck Rollowing manner: Tart contrary to the terms of said agreement, and contrary to the plaintift’s right, they have since the 12th day of April, 1879, refused,and still do refuse, to allow plaintiff to perform his duties as mana- ger aforesaid, or to have any control or super- vision over said business, or to participate in any way in the concerns or management there- of, or to exercise in any way his rights under said agreement, and have wrongfully and unlawfully usurped the entire management of said business, allowing plaintiff no voice whatever, and have now pos- session of all the property ot said firm, torcibly depriving plaintiff ot his rights in the same, and ot his rights aforesaid under said agrees ment. And the plaintiff states that the said busi— ness has not proved prosperous, the liabilities increase each duy, and that the company is be- coming less and less able to pay the debts and continue the business; that all the machinery and assets of the company, if now sold, would scarcely puv the debts of said partnership; that said - Hodnett and said Cunningham are insolvent and could not pay their propor- tion of the debts of the partnership; the dispossession of the rights ot plaintitf by defendants as aforesaic, Diaintitt on or about the 12th day ot April, 1879, demanded ot de- fendants that said business ‘should cease, but thatthe defendants refused to do so or allow snid plaintiff to participate in the affairs of the said company, and persist in Car- rying on suid business to the great hazard of plaintiff's rights; that the plaintiff has reason to believe that the said de- tendants are collecting the debts due the com- Dany, and are appropriating the money to their own private use; that they are borrowing money inthe name of satd flrm, when tne de fendants know tiiat money is being lost every dny in eontinuing the business; that defendants are making efforts to sell said busi- ness withoutthe knowledgeor consent of said plaintiff. In consideration of the premises plaintiff praysthe Court to dissolve the partnership, and enjoin defendants from disposing of the capital of said St. Louis Evening Star; and that the Court restrain defendants from collect- ing debis due the firm, andthatthe Court ap- point a receiver to take charge of the property, and that the court may hake such other orders as may seem right aud proper. FRANK D. TURNER, JOHN A. HARRISON, Attorneys for Vinintiff. LE 05 AL. The Value of Dia. A case illustrating the fluctuations and profits of the sale of diamonds was before Judge Thay- er to-day. It appears that several years ago Capt. Theodore Laveille deposited with Daniel G. Taylor a number ot diamonds as col- Jaterals for money advanced. The money not being repaid, itis alleged Taylor appropriated the diamonds in accordance with the condi- tions on which they were deposited with him and his bank. Suit was subsequently brought against him to recover the value of the dia monds, and on kis demise his executor, John G. Priest, was made defendant, and was in court to-day defending the suit. Mr. Mermod, ot Mermod, Jaccard & Co., wus placed on the stand as an expert concerning the value of the diamonds. A large ring was shown him, and he was asked its value in 1865. Alter a close examination he identified the ring as the one he sold to Mr. Laveille several ago, and pronounced it a carat, valuea in 1568 at $1,500 to $1,600. It would sell now for about 5S1.000. Not that tho cost of diamonds had decreas- ed or that their cost was any less now than in 1668, but that the profits realized by jewelers had bee nreduced. He was asked what sucha diamond would cost at wholesale rates, and declined to answer as it tended to divulge the profits nade by jewelers. On being informed by the Court that the question was competent, he = stated that the cost at New York, or the first cost, would be from 8850 to 8875 He described in a very interesting manner the dif- ferent kinds of diamonds, and designated ＋ one in court as a ‘spread siim diamond, 2. diamond which by its peculiar construction wae not as large as it really appeared tobe. After the testimony had all been submitted the mat- ter was settled in open court by Mr. Priest turning the diamond over to Mrs, Laveille. A 85,000 Damage Case. William Oldvader to-day filed an action in the Circuit Court claiming $3,000 damages from Henry C. McPike and James Johnson, Jr., constituting the firm of McPike & John— son. Plaintiff alleges as a Cause of action that on April the 4th last n certain negro man, name unknown, employed by defendants to exhibit horses and to show the speed of the same, wasin the discharge of his duty on Carr street, and negligently upset a vehiele which plaintiff was driving, by wiiich plaintiff was thrown out, his shoulder dislo- cated and otherwise badly injured, being com- pelleu to incur a large doctor s bill and undergo great bodily pain. C. A. Schnake appears for plaintiff. uonds. — The Grocer’s Lit Libel Suit. The Waters, Pierce Oil Company to-day in- atituted a suit in the St. Louis Circuit Court against Greeley, Burnham & Co., A. H.“ Gale and A. D. Cunningham, proprietors of the St. Louis Grocer, Claiming $25,000 damages for the publication of an nileged libelous article that appeared in that paper. It uppears that the plaintiffs in- stituted a $10,000 damage suit against the Grocer tor libel) several weeks ago. In com- menting upon this suit the Grocer reiterates, inageneral wav, the languave upon which the suit was based. and announces its determin- gtion to prove its assertions, for which the plaintiffs ask $25, 080 damages.

There was a fair 1 M. and order demnd all through, with moderate trading, but no activity. Speculators were all out of the market, which’ was only made | by the consumptive demand. At the callthere were sulgs at the opening showing an advance, ut $1 04% in Venice, but cars. in Central and St. Louis sold immediately following at $1 044; later there were very light transactions at the same price. For No. 2 there was quite a fair inquiry by both order buyers and millers, although the demand was mainly from the former; sales ranged at from $1 U2 to $101% and so irregularly that it was really difficult to determine which figure represents the close. No. was also in geod order demand and firmer, and sold fairly ut 97c. Futures were dull and irregular, closing easy .Sales: Mav $1 044, to $l 04; June $1 02% to $1 04 1 03%; July 96K%@96'{ to 96%; August 98e (the latter an advance.) Flour was quiet. with the usual limited Sat- urday demand. Prices were steady, as holders of the light stock were generally stiff and in ditferent about selling save at ful figures. We quote the closing rates: Fine $3 15@3 30; su- perfine $3 6U@3 75; x $4 O5@4 25; xx $4 40 @4 55; xxx $4 654 80; tamily 34 9900 5 00; choice $5 055 20; fancy $A 235 50. VProvisions—Lacon in moderate inquiry and unchanged for cash, but lower for fature. Dry salt meats nominal and quotably unchanged. Pork dull and lower. Lardin demand and higher. Bacon shoulders were scarce and in good demand, with light sales at 4e; cash 0 ‘ribs sold in asmall way at 5.105, and 25 csks seller 2 at 5. 05e; cash clear sold at 5kyc to 5. 32e f. o. b. v. icked, 5.10@5.15¢ loose.

No. 2 mixed wasin good speculative demand and higher, selling in rather a small way at 32%c tor strictly fresh and regular; sellers were few, which limited trading. Rejected was firm but almost nominal; cars in St. Louis Ele. were offered at 32c, but in Central 32%c was asked. White-mixed was firm and in good milling demand, No. 2 selling at 35% oe for regular and strictly fresh. Afew Ours St. Charles sold at 37e.

NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT: There are now in port twenty-three steamships, twenty-one ships, ten barks, three brigs and thirteen schooneis. Last year at the same date there were only nine steamships in port. TUE Eclipse was the first to start from Bis- marck for Benton, and there will be a race be- tween her, the Benton and McLeod. Capt. Moore swears the Eclipseis the fastest boat; the other Captains us stoutly maintain the same tor their respective steamers. Mr. JO. NORTON leaves to-morrow for San Juan, Col., in company with Capt. sheble,ona prospecting trip. Jo. is An experienced busi- ness man, quiet, yet persevering, and if he succeeds in the mining country it will not as tonish, but be very satisfactory to us. Tux Jo. B.

Richard, EVANSVILLE Journal: The Eldorado, from St. Louis to Pittsburg, arrived. She landed solely for stores, but was persuaded to take avout $1 50 worth of freight when the wharf- master scooped down upon her and made her pay $6 00 whaifage. NO wonder steamboat- men kick at such outrages. ILL Hobbs, of the Globe-Democrat, is en- ergetically selling tickets of admission tothe lectuie of May 15, and meeting with gratifying success. The object is one of the worthiest, the reliet ot a family of a man who lost his life in relieving others. Every ticket sold is so much more succor tothe widow and orphans of the brave Dalton. THE Pittsburg Dispatch believes that the Mississippi Valley Transportation Company, of st. Louis, would do well by getting a towboat built there of these dimensions: Length, 239 feet; beum, 4U feet; depth, 6 teet; cylinders, 28 inches in diameter, 10 feet stroke; 7 boilers, and let the builder use his own judgment as 0 model and wheel, and she will out- run any- thing in the shape of a bout run on any riverin he West.

The most brijliant musical event of the sea- son will be the produetion of our Home Opera.’’ The success of the three perform ances of last year was but a foretaste of what may be expected in the coming series of enter- tainments which wil) take place at the Grand Opera-house during the week commencing May sth. The first public performance will be on Tuesday evening, the 6th, when Verdi’s “II Trovatore’’ will presented. The directors have decided to devote the Monday evening to a full-dress rehearsal in order to insure a performance on the opening night that shall be smooth and perfect in every detail. Although composed entirely of lady and gen- tlemen amateurs well known in St. Louis so- ciety, the casts of the two operas to be given, ‘*Norma’’ and!“ II Trovatore,’’are very strong, and from what has been seen at the rehearsals it is safe to predict that some of the characters will be performed in a manner that will be sur- pnsing. The chorus, consisting of sixty-tive of the best singers of the city (a large majority of them having individual reputations as promi- nent vocalists), will provide a chorus Detter than has ever been heard here before, not even excepting the famous Mapleson cho- rus. The orchestra will be enlarged, appro- priate new costumes have been received from New York, and Mr. Richard Halley is engaged in painting scenery to present the work ina stvle hitherto unapproached. The price of tickets will be $1, with no extra charge for reserved seats. The prices will be thesamein the dress circle, parquette and family circle. The sale will open at Balmer & Weber's on Thursday next. COLE’S CIRCUS. : The banners still hang upon the outer wall and the cry is still they come; the tents are crowded nightly and Mr. Cole has a practical demonstration of what he knew very well be- fore, that the people of St. Louis will liberally support a good _ circus, The performance went off very smoothly, and the athletes particularly covered themselves with glory. All the prospects point to a most successiul season for this show, which will be no more than its sterling merit demands. DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT. The ladies of St. Vincent’s Parish will give an entertainment, Tuesday evening, at hoester’s Hall, for the benefit of the poor of the parish. The programme is made of a tragedy, ‘‘Simon Lee, with astrong cast. The female parts are taken by Miss Lillie Curtis, Miss Maggie Prather and Miss Lucille Renouard, the first cf- whom gracefully personates the heroine. The othei characters are allotted to to Messrs. Geo. H. Rhea, Albert J. Moore, John F. Brittingham, James Ames, Joseph V. Chamberlain and others. Between the acts of the drama, Dr. Gustave Bidaux will sing and A.B. Pearson will deciaim. The affair is under the manazement of Rev. Bro. Virgil. THE ST. LOUIS HARMONIC SOCIETY. The Iarmonic Society, which has given us this season two such charming concerts, gives its third regular concert on Wednesday, the 30th, at St. George’s Hall. Unusual time and wonderful preparation have been bestowed on this programme, and this, with the varied and charming character of the numbers, insures tne most delightful entertainment yet given by this society. The public will not soon forget the wonderful effects brought out in the Hymn of Praise, and may safely count on still more per- fect and pleasing execution as a result of long- er, continuous and most careful training. Positively better singing is promised than at any former concert, and a full audience should greet the society next Weduesday even- ing. WHILE in New York this winter or spring, you need not pay twice for meais that you get only once. In other words, as the Grand Central Hotel, on Broadway, is now conduct- ed on both plans, the American $2 50 or $3, and the European $1 or upwards, per day, which allows you to take your meals at the elegant restaurant attached tothe hotel at moderate prices, or to take a room only and pay for what meals you get. A Remarkable Floor Covering. A floor cloth, Linoleum, is now being manu- factured, composed of cork, making a clean, soft, very handsome and durable floor cover- ing. Its ciaims to extraordinary durability have been thoroughly tested. It is printed in handsome designs, and sold by all carpet deal- ers. As inferior imitations are on the market, the word ‘‘Linoleum’’ is on the back of every square yard. IN changeable climates, Caswefl’s Camphor Ice Lotion for the skin reigns supreme.

Base Ball. “The national game, which for the past year or two has been in a wonderfully semnolent condition, is at last becoming the popular sport again. This fact was plainly demon- strated by the large crowds who turned out to | the two first games of the season betweens the new St. Louis Browns and the Athletics.

He was generally looked upon as a colt that would improve as be grew older. was certainly great room for provement last autumn, when he went to England. Whether the colt’s progress has been so great that he is fit to beat the best three-year-olds that Great Britain or the con- tinent enn produce (for the very best racers of that age from England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Hungary and other parts of Europe mect in the Derby) is a question yet to be set- tled. In considering that question in the light of Parole’s achievements, it sbould not be forgotten that Parole in both races has been carrying light weight for a six-s ear-old, while much younger horses than he have been handicapped more heavily. In the Two Thou- sand Guineas and the Derby Uneas must carry as much weight as any of his competitors, and that weight wilt be five pounds more than -arole carried Tucsday.

Sus- ing tilt on the green diamond. The Browns will appear again, but this time their oppo- nents will be the St. Louis Grays, who are strong enough to give the Browns a lively tus- le. Craymeyer, Bowle, Roeder, Exdel- man, Overbeck, Campbell, Caden and Frye will probably play with the Grays, while the Browns will produce a team made up of the following players: Decker, catcher: McGinnis, pitcher; Houtz, first base: McDonald, second base; Morgan, third base: Pearce, short stop; Cuthbert, left field; Croft, center field, and Magner, right field. This will be their regular team, and, with a little practice at the bat, can face any club in the country with a certainty of being able to make a creditable showing. Mr. George A. McManus and another admirer of the game here were in Chicago the early part of this week, and called on Spalding, the Chicago club manager. What their mission was is un- known, nor could ethe reporter tind out, as Mr. Me Manus bas the faculty of keeping out of the reach of the reportorial inquisitor; but enough information was caught on the fly to know that the St. Louis man’s visit to Chicago was for the purpose of making some arrange ment by which St. Louis will be able to wit- ness a semi-professional game or two during the season. To-morrow's game will be played at the Grand Avenue Park. Detroit will have a strong team this season, but will not play for cither of the leading championships.

The Westerns had the Tempest out last Sunday.“ The Modocs new paper barge will arrive in about six weeks. The St. Louis’ new barge is expected here in about tendays. All the rowing clubs took advantage of the fine weather during the past week. On Sunday last the Westerns had their coming barge crew out, their first appearance this season. The new rowing club out in their six-oared barge, on Sunday last. As soon as the new barge of the St. Louis Club arrives they will convert their old one (the Baltic) inte a shooting gallery. Mr. St. John is in active training for his walking match against time, which takes place at Keokuk, during the regatta in July next. The Mississippi had out their barge, the E. D. Moxter, on Sunday last. They went up to see the skiff, but, like a great many more, got disgusted and left. The skiff race last Sunday was rowed under the rules of the Mound City Amateur Rowing Association. ‘The start was made three hours after the advertised time. The St. John'' was out last Sunday with Saltzman stroke, Green and Parcells in the Waist, andStumpf inthe bow. They look as though they might be the next champion crew. Qn Saturday, the 24th inst., the West- ern Rowing Club will give a grand entertain- ment and ball. It promises to be a grand af- fair, and will be held at their boat house, at the foot of Anna street. The St. Louis crew their H. Clay Sexton'' an airing on Sunday last.

The course will be from the **Dyke’’ and return. The judges and referee have not as yet been decided upon. The Westerns received their new four-oared out-rigger from Weeks, of Cincinnati, on Sunday last. It is thirty-nine feet long, twen- ty-one inches wide, and built after the models of the Bob Ingersoll and H. Clay Sexton boats. Weeks pronounces it the best boat that ever left Cineinnati, and experienced boatmen say that if it does not win the next race, the fault will not be in the craft. — (the Missouris) were the Gen.

The famous Duke of Magenta. now four years old, is entered in a number of important races in England, but he has been sick a great part of the time since he left this country, and it is not now thought that he will appear in any contest before that for the Goodwood Cup, a very rich prize, for which he is entered. Parole is always ridden by Frederick Archer, the most successful jockey in the world. He is famous for his hard riding in the final fur- long of a race, and many a triumph has been | snatched by him froin the very jaws of defeat in the last few strides ofa hot race. But his peculiar skill was not of ‘much importance in the case of Parole as it would have been in riding a less ambitious racer. Mr. Lorillard’s horse is always eager to do all in his power to win in a close finish, and requires little urging. Lord Harris’ team of English players has been weakened by the loss of Emmett and Ulyett, the two professionals who went from Melbourne direct for England, and Lord Har- ris has in eonsequence written to Mr. Moeran, of the St. George Club of this city, to select for him two professionals to make his eleven complete by the time he reaches Philadelphia, which will be about the second week in May. The two players selected are Norley and Brew- ster, who will plav with the English team in their ’hiladelphia and New York matches. In view of thé necessity for practice it has been decided to begin work on the St. George Grounds on Wednesday, May 7th, when the opening match will be played.

Indeed, when the Parisian has hadadrop too much the *‘out- ward and visible signs*’ of his excesses are not so much in his legs and gait as in his tongue and talk. These last he has always With him, and he will use them, sober or the other thing, to sound the praises of Beaune, Berdeaux and zurgundy. Wine being one of the ‘‘glories’’ of fuir France, all Frenchmen feel bound to do it justice andhonor. A story is told of the Duke d’Aumale: Many years ago, passing, at the head of his regiment, the famous vineyard of Clos-Vougeot, he ordered his men to halt and present arms, and thus showed as strong a resemblance in tem- perament and tone to his great ancestor, Hen- ry IV., as he does in face and figure. The quantity of wine couswmed in these 25,000 drinking haunts is not by any means so con- siderable as one would fancy. The Parisian drinks, as I have said, not because he is thirs- ty, but in order to have opportunities of con- Versation, amusement or gambling. You will see him seated for an hour or two at a time ata little table with a little glass before him, which he has not yet émptied, and which, when empty, he will not refill, his aim being sociability or scandal, politics or polemics; anything, in short, but making a fool of himself by drinking to excess.

An Irish Speculation. Chambers’ Journal: A couple of Irishmen, thinking to combine pleasure with profit by doing a little unlicensed trafficking in liquor onthe Derby Day, bought a small jar of whisky and started for Epsom. Knowing they would want a drop themselves on the Way, it was agreed that neither should drink without paying. They had not traveled far on the road when one drank a glass and paid his partner three-pence; he followed suit and handed the money back again.

Where Did She Get the Stockings? [From the Tokto (Japan) Times. } The prettiest and daintiest of Japanese belles now in Europe was recently discovered in partial deshabille by some lady visitors, who were captivated by the effect of the neat and closely fitting tabi upon her tiny feet, and pronounced them, after leaving, just too aw- fully nice for anything, while the contrast be- tween the snowy whiteness of the linen san- dals and the peculiar, delicate tint of the stockings beneath was perfectly splen-did! They easily procured the tabi. but they seurched the city in vain for matches to the lovely hose. The new color was evidently a raie Oriental ‘dye, which had not reached the marts of Europe. In their disappoint- m: nt sore they went to the Japenese lady and explained to her that they had set their hearts on producing in their morning negligees the same combination they had noticed on her feet and ankles. Would she be so kind as to leud them one of her stockings to enable manufacturers to attempt an imitation? And then the little lady smiled and graecfully whipped aside her ‘‘uwagi, nakagi and skitagi,’’ disclosing that the admired stock- ings were not the mysterious products of some jealously-guarded Eastern loom, but the dusky, unadorned tegument with which na- ture had provided her. .

When the sheet is removed it is of course covered with ink, so much so that the outlines of the picture are barely discern- ible. Then it is floated on hot water with the ink side upward, which has the effect of coag- ulating the albumen of the original film and | of swelling the gelatine.

Yet, incredible us it mav appear, Job did not liſt a finger against his assailant—merely pro- testing himself, so far as he could, from being dissevered. ‘*Hebore it, he said, ‘‘pa- tiently, as he had no desire to strike in re- turn.’’ Aftera long investigation of the cir- cumstances, Mrs. Banyard was diseharged from custody; Job remarking that ‘‘it was far better to live together in peace and amiiy.’’ The whole story is inexpressibly touching, and, at the same time, shows what man ma expect when woman is thoroughly eman:i- pated.

New York, April 23.—The prettiest costumes —those which suggest the spring time of life as well as the season—are the gay-colored and jaunty suits made for misses. Hrigut - gured goods in small designs, combined with plain fabries of clear, cool colors, are made by pat- terns particularly appropriate to the trim little figure of the undeveloped maiden. Fashion has always found it an easy matter to prettily, if not comfortably, dressa child, its chubby figure appearing well in almost any style of garment, but heretofore girls from fourteen to sixteen, „Standing with reluctant feet Where the brook and river meet, have been obliged to don the woman’s full gar- ments orcontinue to wear the child’s dress, which but increased the gauntness of their t gures, as designers of dress tailed to furnish suitable patterns forthem. But of late they have received especial attention,and now their styles are plentiſulund beautitul. ® Dresses for the wurm weather are fashioned so that the stieet and house dress are dis- tinguishable by the fabric rather than the style used. Whena eostume is made of camel’s hair or silk or any ofthe slkand wool mixtures a supplementary garment is made to match, and is used as an extra wrap until the season is too tar advanced to require more thin the toilet itself. PRETTY DRESSES. The most picturesque and becoming costume for a well grown miss who may venture upon the bouffant effect to a moderate degree, is made in the Pompadour style. A beautiful model is of gray foulard and pale blue silk; the short round skirt is of foulard, with the usual side-plaited flounce, whic’ on this suit ismade with two pl°’rs of foulard alter- nating with two Of plain blue silk. A long scarf, draped across the front and puffed and looped in the back, supplies the overskirt ; it is of foulard silk, trimmed with a narrow plaiting ot blue silk which serves as a background fora very scant frill of Breton lace. The basque is rather deep und the caprice of the moment is to gather the skirt in one or two plaits on the under-arm seam, thus making panier puffs onthe hips. The vest is blue silk, outlined with lace, and the blue plaiting and lace are continued around the edges of the basque. Bows ot narrow blue brocaded rib- bon upon the cuffs, scarf and panier puffs, give a youthiul finish to this stylish dress. Polonaises with skirts attached are much ad- mired this season, and are adapted to street or hcuse.wear. bon or bro- caded scarfs are the trimniings. The Pyramid, avery youthful shape, is trim with frayed bands of bias silk arranged -ip deep points, which extend from the edge of the brim to the top of the crown, where it is finished with a ball of soft silk. Infants and very small children continue to weur close caps of lace or muslin, with medal- lions of needie- work as trimmiug. A very pret- ty cap for spring is very loosely knit of ice- wool, lined with soft silk. The fashionable independent wrap has an outside center- piece arranged on the front in the form of a plastron, thus representing a bat- toned vest. Over this is a collurette which lengthens into wide revers, and is ornamented with false button-holes and handsome battons. The back is a regular walking coat and shows pocket lapels upon the waist line and a finish of button-holes matching the revers. MARY BELL VRINCE. — LS THE WOODRUFF EXPEDITION. Everything Ready Except the Passen- ers—If the Latter Come Forward All Vill Go Well. [From the New York Times. |] The Woodruff Scientific Expedition Around the World has been so much talked of during the past six months that everybody has heard of it, and everybody knows something of its object. It is, however. generally supposed that the steamship in which the expedition is to sail is to be strictly a floating college, and thatthe only excursionists are to be young men who go as students. This supposition is for from being correct, as fully oxe-third of the excursion- ists will be tourists, who will be under no restrictions, save those common to all pas- senger-ships, and who, when the ship is in port, will come and go as they please. They will not, of course, be compelled to attend lectures, but will be permitted to do so if they choose. Of these tourists, twenty or thirty will be ladies. The question most frequently asked now in regard to the expedition is, „. Win starty’’ The chances are that it will; but of course there is a possibility that it will vot. The management of the expedi- tion has thus rar berformed its part fuith- fully and well. It has procured a ste stéamship, first-class in every particular, and which is at the foot of Second street, Hoboken, open to inspection. She has been thoroughly clean- ed and repainted throughout, and is undergo- ing extensive interior alterations. She is so eminently fitted for the work for which she is destined that the merest tyro in marine archi- tecture has but to see her to be satistied that she is all thatis to be desired. She will be ready at the appointed time if her passengers are; but she will not sail unless 200 of these shall have engaged berths and paid their booking fee of 3500. Thus far 150 persons have, after examining the ship and the pros- pectus of the voyage, sent in their names and addresses to the business manager of the ex- edition, with requests that state-rooms may be reserved for them. As many more have velbally signified their intention of accom- panying the expedition, but as yet have taken no steps toward so doing. From 10 to 50 per- sons Visit the Gen. Werder daily, and they uniformly express surprise and pleasure at finding her so fine a ship. Mr. Woodruff is always there ready to show visitors over the ship and answer all their questions. The faculty and officers of the ship have all been engaged, and President Clarke, who will have charge of the educational department, has gone so far as to resign his position in Amherst College so as to be free to assume his new duties. The only reason why the managers cannot say With absolute certainty that the expedi- tion will start on the appointed day, barring unforeseen accidents, is that of all who have signitied their intention of aecompanying it. only a few have paid their booking fee of $500. Each person seems inclined to hold back until he sees what others are going to do, and whether the ship willsurely sail, and thus each one who thus waits to see what will turn up does his part towards defeating the expe- who book shall deposit with Drexel, Morgan & Co. a fee of $500 as a guarantee of good faith. The bankers’ receipt for this amount also certifies that if on the Sth day of May 200 passengers have not thus been secured, this booking fee shatl be refunded on the following day, at their office. Thus the only loss by the would-be passenger would be the interest on $500 for a few days. The loss to the man- agers of the expedition, if the — does not sail, will be large, as they have already ex- pended nearly $100,000 in preparation for their grand excursion around the world, - — —— THE SHOP-GIRL ABROAD.

[From the London Queen. ] Mrs. Elizabeth Montagu was a literary lady of the last century, born in 1720, and living until 1800. She wrote ‘‘An Essay on the Writings and Genius of Shakspeare,’’ which gave her much reputation, and she founded A Children’s Bal it, wore blue stockings. Mrs. Montugn’s let- ters have, some of them, been published, and one of them, dated Hill street, April 11, 1779, exactly a cemtury ago, contains the following pleasant passage about a juvenile ball at — House: I carried my little man to a ball at Marlborough House on Monday night. We went at seven and did not get home till onein the morning. The weather was cool, the apartments were large and bigh; there were nine couples of little folks who all danced very well. The Duke of Mariborough’s children are remarkably handsome. Between ten and eleven there was a fine supper for the dancers; and it was very entertaining te see little beaux flattering little belles, and little belles flattering little beaux, With as much spirit as they would do ten years hence. The Duke of Bed- ford seems a fine, healthy boy, which I was rlad to see; for without healih his great in- eritance would give but little pleasure. I think the next generation will excel the last in dancing; I wish they we excel us in everything. I had many compliments on the appeurance and manners of my little maa; he had a good ear and danees well. The Duchess of Marlborough invited only the parents of the young folks, and two or three particular bishops and Mre. Moore were there. The ‘*‘litthe man’’ of the letter seems to have been a nephew. How littie change a hundred years have made! Our great-grandfathers ond grandmothers were more like ourselves than we sometimes thiok. 7 tat ititicaieaiisiatimaiis The Contrary Japs.

A Man Who Paints a Big Picture im- promptu in an Hour, [Berlin Correspondence of the London Times. } In the artistic world here of late no slight flutter has been caused by the appearances of Signor Carlo, deseribed as a concert-painter, though the name at first sight will doubiless Puzziè voir readeis, Goncert-paiuter: What can that mean? An artist who executes a pic- tire in concert with another, after the man- ner of Beaumont and Fleteher, or Erckmanna and Chatrian? No! One who paints Ar- cadian scenery to enhance the effect of | pastoral songs? Wide of the mark! | A gentleman of the brush, distin- guished from his brothers by the laborious care with which he devises, or concerts, pictures beforehand? The very opposite. It is an artist, in fact, Who, without «a moment’s previous thought or warning, standing om the stage of a concert-hall, and having his sub- ject suddenly preseribed to him by one of the audience, will dash off his work in almost less time than it weuld take to photograph it --a lightning limner, a painter japrovisatere. Signor Carlo was born m the year 1848, at Milan, the son of very poor parents who, in | Ibov, removed to Hungary. A strong artistic ir clination began te show itself in the boy, and he was placed under the care of a p. Liter, who mainly employed his pupil in the pre- | paration of colors. la er on he went to vi- enna, where poverty and repeated failures could not damp his ardor, and where he con- tinued cultivating bis art with a perseverence | which bas, at the age of 31, brought him to such a piteb of perfection in his particular line as to have made him second to none, It was a happy thought of managerial enterprise to cure the services of this singular man. Every evening, ata popular place of amuse- ment here, he mounts the stage, and to the sound of slow Jnusic charms the audience b. a rapid and simuitaneous display of the sister art. His performance is afterward given away by lot. lis subject being suggested to him, the littl dark-hued mun. of true artistic type, with a general aspect of careless desolation, immediately seizes his brush with- out u moment 's apparent reflection, and with intense interest the spectators watch the swift and gradual process which transforms a blank extent of canvas into a gorgeous wreck-strews sea or golden sunset. His work is cenerall, | finished within the hour. Not tong ago, be- ing the guest of the Grand Duke of Mecklen- burg-Sechwerin at Ludwigslust, Signor Carto was desired to paint in oil a Hungarian land- scape (Pussta, with Gypsy camp), an this he did in the space of fifty minutes, with sue truth to nature and such artistic skill as to excite the hearty admiration of all the court. Before a society of artists Jatély, too, this wenderful man, within the short period of furty-three minutes, calle 1 into life a glowing Italian evening landscape witha perspective of classic ruins, glancing rivulets, and breathing groves. ‘To cartoon the same subject occupied him slightly over a quarter ofan hour. Precise crities need not appreach the work of Signor Carlo in the hope of finding perfection of torm, faultless distribution, and blending of colors with mathematical propor- tion in perspective; they are scarcely such as, on their own merits, might cntitle them to the approval of Mr. Ruskin or admission mto the Academy; but, in view of the conditions un- der which they sre produced, they sre cer- tainly wonderfal examples of artistic skill, and must rank the author with those peculiar prodigies of mental and physical achievement w herein the nineteenth century is so rife. * t The Prompter in Private Theatricals.
