Drake has grimly hovered over the visible effects establishment for several days past, with an execution for a nominal amount,which he hoped to collect without being conmipeiled to the safe, counter, an@ ot the establishinent. Ile wearied, however, of the promises of the Keceiver to liquidate the bill, and to day made arrangements to selleverything in sight con- nected with the st. Louis Evenitrg Star, His unusually penetrating vision couid not diseoy- er much of a tanzible value, but what he could see he proposed to sell, for cish on the spot, The receiver eoon realized that he was in dead earnest, and with W. H. H. Russell as coun- sellor, proceeded to the Court- house to obptain an injunction to stop the sale. Judge Boyle, from whose court the Receiver holds his commission, could not be tound, ana Judge Adams was soussht out. Mr. Russell read a doeument, the purport of which was tuat the receiver, wun- der the orders ol the court, liad been instructed to sell the property next Wednesday, but that the unfeeling? constable was going to anticipate the court and sell the whole concern oat before Wednesday, which, according to Mr. he had no risht to do. Mr. Russell uskel that the strong arm of the law interpose and grant an injunction and stop the persistent constable. Judge §Adams said he would grant a temporary injunction, subject, however,to the review of Judge Boyie. An order was entered restraining the constabig from procceding tintil further orders of the Court. \aeal Ts. collie the desks Russell, Home Aitractions. The artistic dccoration ot home forms one of its chiefest attractions, and whether that home be humble or ostentatious, the harmony of all the surroundings charms the eye and draws around that heurtbstone a wel satisfied family to enjoy domestic cemforts. While many en- joy the luxuries of tastily adorned homes,there are but few who have the correct idea of what makes perfect contrasts, or renders pleasing effects. Usually we find in the decorative and artistic branches of business those who choose this calling from pr. ference, and such being the case they are more competent to judge of effects, proportions contrasts. ctc., in the decorative art. This pointis a very particular one, as a ‘‘hotch job"’ is an endless source of annoyance, as well constant eye-sore.

Months ago we said that Mr. Tilden had lost his prestige, and that where he was best known, as in his own State, he was least popular. Months ago dicted that Mr. Tilden could never again be elected, should never again be nominated, as the reaction of public sentiment about his qualities and character since 1876 made him both an improper and an unpopular person. We find an entire confirmation of the York most influential of the York, and whose influen- in New NStaats- the organ Zeitung, and respectable great German ¢lement of New Mr. Oswald Ottendorfer, hitherto been regarded as quite a staunch tial editor, has ; supporter and friend of Mr. Tilden. The German editor, who was at the head.

If we observe how Mr. Tilden, with the help of the man whom the local re- form movementwf 1878 placed in the Mayor's chair, has taken exclusively to himself the fruits of this movement with an entire indif- ference to the facts that thereby the object of the movement—the separation of local from paity politics—has been totatly frustrated; that the hopes of 10,000 of the best.citizens of New York have been thereby defeated, and thata miserable traffic in the city offices to further his own candidacy for ihe Presidency | bas resulted, we shall tind in all this an arcu- ment against Tilden’s pretensions to reform Which can never again overcome, Above all, Mr. Tilden can no longer count upon the unselfish, hearty and enthusi- astic support of the independent voters who helped him in 1876 to obtain the state witha struggle, and without whom he would not have succeeded. Naturally it cannot be fore- tole now what these voters will doin sucha dilemma as that whfch would be forced upon be them in the choice between Grant and Tilden; | but were it not the obvious problem of the politicians who rule the Democratic party or- | | ganization to prevent this dilemm«s and there- by to secure to their party the important and probably decisive State of New York, what a comparatively easy case it would be for | Grant! Yes, there is no doubt that Grant would carry New York, and be elected, if the Dem- : ocrats should commit the folly ‘of nominat- ing Mr. Tilden again. But this looks every The be for sale, nor will it If Ohio does day more improbable.

RISMARCK, DAKOTA, May 7.—The oniv true way to study geography isto travel. No ¢ol- lege boy from the broad prairies of the §West or the flat alluvial lands of the South ever went tor the first time to Virginia without stumbling on startling bonangas of his own ignorance. He goesexpecting to find an immense plain or valley like those to which he has been aceustomed, teaversed from north to south by two straight, prim ranges of moun- tains resembling the regular pyramidal lines in his pictorial yiney or Mitchell, and ali level country between. What is his amazement to find himself, from the hour he crosses the Obio at Huntington, incessantly clambering up one side of a mountain range and down tne other until he reaches Chariettesviile 300 miles away. So when one comes fisst tothe great young empire ot what was only a decade or two ago ‘tne tar Northwest,’” every day's journey ig a pleasantly flying revelation of things that have never been dreamt of in his philosophy or geography. He finds nothing he expected, and everything he did net—beantitul cities where he looked for a wilderness, palaces where he imagined wigwams steed, gardens and parks where he supposed acesert lay, and millions of busy, prosperous peopleup with allthe latest New York and Paris tashions in cassimere, gioves and midinery where he expected to maet ..painted Indians and herds of buffalo.

With Charles ©. Pollins, of the Rollins Pub- lishing Company, as my fellow-voyager, I boarded the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul train in the long, crowded depot beside the hagrant river, and in u few minutes was ulid- ing out of the lakeside metropolis, through lorests Of masts, spars and steamer chimneys, and miles of factories. mills, packing-houses end lumber piles. Under the management of Alexander Mitchell and A. V. H. Carpenter, this great railway, linking as it does the names of three of the principal cities of the new Northwest, has become pre-eminently- ‘*The tourist's line.’’ With steel track smoot a3 a ball-room floor,palatial coaches furnisiied with ¢very convenience and l|uxurv, and con- ductors like Phelps, Cornes and McMillan. who find pleasure in adding to the comfort of their traveling guestsand in pointing vut all the specially notable places along the route, there is nothing lacking to make a 500-wile fly through a landof enchantment all that the most insatiate enjoyment-seeker could ask or wish. On the train I found BRICK HOMEROY, on his way back to La Crosse to re-establish his once fumous paper. Ten years ago he left there with $250,000 tolaunch bis journalistic bark iu New York, and now returns bald, gray, and vankrupt in everything but spirit, to begin again in bis old piace. He ssid as we parted: ‘*I’m going to work my best, and if I fail I'l have a good deal of tun out of Itanyhow.’’ And though | have often differed with hiin, I could not help wishing him heartily both fun and success, Out of Chicago, along. the beauteous lake shore where far away to the eastward the biue waters meet the blue sky, and far tothe west- ward u8theefe can reach stretches a fairy- land vista of lovely suburban homes, dainty houses, green jawns and parks and overarch- Mig ehns, beeches and waples.

Billiards. In local circles there 1s nothing to aie of more importance than the routine of amateur games, good, bad and indifferent—largely, it say be imagined, the latter. At both Bald- ‘win’s and Mussey’s business is good, in fact upon that score neither have cause to com- plain. At Baldwin’s, that eminent amateur tragedian Berry Mitchell has been playing a series of games with the ‘* Younger Benedict, ’’ to the wunadultersted satisfaction of the latter. At Mussey’s, the opening of Roche’s pool room seems to have added a re- markable stimulus to the cash revenue of the billiard department. Mr. Mussey is more than satisfied that he has made a good move. THE SCHAEFER-SLOSSON CONTEST. It will be a meeting of giants when these two come together again as they will do, barring accidents, next Tnursday night in McCor- mick’s Hall, Chicago. When two such players cross cues, to either of whom the game is in sight at any time after the opening, it is idle to predict the winner. The champion has the prestige of un unparalleled career, fitly crown- ed last winter by the wonderful victory in the most remarkable game ever played. His rival is nerved b; the sight of $1,000 and the champ- ionship before him, and backed by the fact that no one but himself is thought fit to dispute for the title with the present holder. However, with all this there seems to be at present a preponderance of betting in favor of Slosson, as shown by the sale of pools yesterday at Roche’s. It was 11 to 7 on the would-be champion. Parties wishing to get reduced tickets to Chicago on account of the game should call on Mr. John W. MeCullagh, 211 Market street. The exodus of pilgrims will begin at p. m. Wednesday next. All should take the precaution to provide thein- selves with good walking shoes and smill lunch baskets for cheese and hard tack. The American Game. THE LEAGUE COMPANIONSHIP. We furnish below a tabulited ‘statement, showing the relative positions occupied by the Various contestants to date, but vot including to-day’s games. Very little has been done toward changing the situation of a week ago. Civemnati and Chicago are tied for first place, each haying won five games. Boston holds second rank, and, as each club has thus far plaved its full quota, the Hub has gained an advantage over its neighbor of Prov- idence, the two being last week tied for secend place. Thus far the odds have all been in favor of the two extreme Westerna cities, but the coming week will be somewhat of a test,so far as can be determined thus ear- ly in the season. Cincinnati asd Boston, be- tween whom there is the greatest rivalry, will cross bats, while Chicago and Providence will mect at the Garden City. Weshall be much mistaken if next week’s summary does not materially change the relative positions. The League games the coming week are as follows: At Cincinnati—The Bostons and Cincinnati, May 13, band 17. At Chicago— The Providence and Chicagos, same dates. At Cleveland—The Syracuse and Clevelands, same dates. At Buffalo—The Troys and Buf- falos, same dates. The following table is brought up to date, of course not including games played this afternoon.

Only six games were played from Saturday last to yesterday inelusive, while the result is as shown below. The Nationals, of Wash- ington, lead ‘ ‘by a large majority,’ although the total number of games played varies so materially that the relative standing, as shown in the number won by,each, is of little value. Thus, while the Nationals have won six out of eight. played, the Springfields have won five out of six played, 4nd the Albanys have captured all of the three played by them. Theschedule of national games for the ensuing week is placed as follows: At Al- bany—The Manchesters and Albanys, May 17; New Bedfords and Albanys, May 12 and 1}; Cupital Citys vs. Manchesters, May 15.

Dorgan is doing good work for the Syracuse team. Cuthbert is improving in work with the stick. Andy Blong and McCaffery are doing some ood work in the Dubuque team. Croft left for Chicago last night to join the ‘Troy Club. He will probably cover’ the first bag. Cunningham is a terror with the stick. He has averaged three clean hits to the game thus far this season. The newspaper praise bestowed upon the new Browns bas had the effect of disgusting McManus with semi-professional base ball. As a result of it, Croft has accepted a position with the Troys, while other members are in receipt of propositions to play elsewhere. —— Mixed Sport. The Cote Brilliante track has been well pat- ronized this week. Mr. Lew Ciark, the popular secretary of ‘thé Jockey Club, has sent out posters for the June meeting to every first-class hotel in the ‘country. Never before ‘were the St. Louis ‘races better advertised. The St. Louis Kennel Club are very proud at the news from Boston to the effect that its shad swept the board.

There is much talk going on about the com- ing skiff race of the St. Louis Club, between Biliy Knolloff and the unknown. The Modocs have decided not to remodel their old boat- house, but will build a house on the Levee one block further north. The Mound City Amateur Rowing Associa- tion will hold an adjourned meeting on May 14. Among other business on hand is the classifying of the boats. The Modoe Keekuk Crew is Saltzman, stroke, Parcells, of kickipg fame, No. 2; Green, a good man of the Gymnasium, No. 3, and ‘*Shakey’’ Stumpf inthe bow. The different clubs have _ selected their crews for the *‘St. John Cup Race,’’ and ail are in active training. The Western are well pleased with their new boat, and think it the fastest in the city. Hughey Clark, stroke; Moser, No. 2; Mox- ter, No. 3, and John Honne, bow, will be the formidable team that the Mississippi will put forward to win the championship emblem for the coming season. » The crew of the St. Louis Club for the St. John Cup will be Lucas Edell, stroke; Stor- ker, No. 2; Dave Herrell, No. 3, and Bennie Brand igthe bow. Thisis the same crew that defeated the Modoc champions last year. The St. Louis Club will in about two weeks have a grand reunion at ‘*‘Chouteau Slough.’*’ President Louis Steber and ex-President ‘*Dock’’ Muller have charge of the affair.and the knowledge of that fact alone. will be enough to insure the boys a good time. Mr. J. A. St. John, president of the Modoc Club, has received a letter from the secretary of the St. John Boat Clup, of New Orleans, volunteering hisservices in seeing that their new barge is shipped all right. His valuable and kind offer was accepted and a vote of thanks will be sentto the St. John Club at the next meeting of the Modoes. One of the Mississippi boys met with an ac- cident in the breaking of an oar on Sunday last while out in their single scull. This is the smallest boat ever brought to these parts. It was originally owned by Billy Schraff of Pitts- burg, and is 24 feet long, 10 1-2 inches wide, and weighs 37 pounds. It is the personal property of one of the members of the Missis- sippi Club. ae citizens, asking the Mound City Row- rad . It will be presented to the meeting in about two weeks, and the petitioners are con- fident that the gentlemen connected with the asseciation and different clubs will coincide with them in their view of the matter. his walking exercise. One evening the mile, he made 5 miles in 50 minut&, follows: First mile, 10 winutes:second mile, 101-2 minutes; third mile, 91-2 minutes: fourth mile, 9 minutes; fifth mile, 11 minutes. | The above time can be vouched for by | twenty-five members of the Gymnasium, | the timing | He thinks be has a sure thing on that case wine, and has written the Burlington the effect, and also offers to double the bet. > PERSONAL.

The late Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale was active in many excellent public undertakings.

Miss Bessie Conkling was married the other day in a rich white costume without veil or orange blossoms; her ornaments were dia- monds. She was graceful and self-possessed.She drove with ber husband from the church to their beautitul home, where they gave a dinner to a large party ottriends. They very sensibly tuke no bridal tour.

Thayer in the Troy Times. ] We turned our horse in the direction of the shepherd who was keeping watch over the flock. He was seated upon bis borse, with his beautiful and sagacious dog (a Scotch collie that would have done credit to the late dog show in the city of New York) near by. After passing the usual salutations we entered into a familiar conversation which consisted mainly in asking and answering questions, very much as follows: **Tlow many sheep bave you in this flock?’’ ‘*A pout 800, all ewes, from three to five years old.’’ ‘‘Are they considered a very fine flock?’’ **I do not know ofa better lot of sbeep in Colorado.’’ *:What is their blood?’’ ‘*A cross between the native and Spanish merino.’’ **How much wool will they bear, and what is its value per pound???’ ‘+ Average tive pounds, and it will sell for twenty cents per pound.’ ‘*How many lambs do you expect to raise, and what will probably be the market price next fallY’’ ‘*About 90 per cent of the whole number of the flock (i: 20), und they will be worth $1 75 per head.’’ ‘*‘What is the present value of your flock per bead?’’ **About #4,’’ ‘*During the severe storms,the past winter, did you not lose a good many? y? **Very few; not more than six oreight. I had them out on the plains every day through ull ihe toughest storms, und we fed them very little bay or grain. ‘*Did not a good many sheep die ‘dur ing the storm???’ **Oh, there were sheep.’ ”’ ‘>About how many?’’ **'} hat is a difficult question to answer—per- haps 10,000,” ” ‘*Wus not severe;*’ ‘*Yes, sir; 1 have lived in Colorado ten years, and never experienced anythiuy like it —_—_—— yes—in this county of El Paso, where about 20U,00J, they ‘died jike the past winter unusually Lefore a ‘I notice ten ora dozen black sheep scit- | tered through the flock, and I am curious to know why itis that they are distributed so Can you tell me: My friend, ‘tis an old saving that every family has its black sheep, and it is true that every bund of the flock has its black one, or ’* | merker, as we call them.’’ . **Why do you call them markers! ‘-For this reason—we can not, count the whole flock several times a day, to know Whether or not any are missing: so we every hour or two, and if they ure in sight, we conclude tbat none of the Nock have gone astray.’’ **Do you yard or corral them every night?’’ “Ob, yes; it would not be safe to let them reimain out on the plains over night; they are ‘siliv’ creatures and would scatter in every direction, and perhaps be food for mountain hons and prairie wolves. ** How m: any hours per day do you give tbem > of course, ‘*From ‘about sunrisé until sunset. ‘*Do you have avy assistance in the care of this flock?’ ’ ‘-Yes, sir; my horse and dog, and the help of two or three men most of the month of June to care for the lambs.’ *:What about the dug?’’ ‘*Why, he is most vaiuable and worth more to methan two men, In-fact, a good dog is almost indispensable in the care of sheep. Wait a moment and I will show you what this dog can doin helping me drive the flock over near the bluff, a mile to the right, where they will find water. ’’ Calling the dog by name, ‘‘Shep,’’ he pointed toa portion of the tlock somewhat scattered on the left. Off ‘*Shep’’ started on the run and assoon as the sheep moved in the right direction the dog stopped for further orders. **Go on, Shep,’’ and on he went gently, until the whole flock was turned to- ward the running stream. One word, **back,’’ brough. the faithful creature to his master’s side toreceive a kind word of ap- proval, which was answered in that expres- sive dog language, a wag of the tail. Great peins are taken in rais ing and traia- ing this species of the canine race, and their sagacity is often wonderful. Itis frequently the case thata pup, a few days old, is put with aewe and nursed and brought up by her, and for this reason is most at home with the sheep. This method of raising dogs in Colorado reminds us of the old Roman le; vend of Romulus and Remus. who were suckled by a wolf and fed by a woodpecker. Having exhausted my stock of questions in regard to sheep raising, I said to our new ac- quaintance: **You have very kindly given us much information as to your flock, and now, if you have no objections, we would like know something of your own history. **Weill, stranger, | Was born down in Mis- souri and lived there until old enough to start out in life on my own hook. About that time there was a desperate struggle go- ing on in Kansas on the slavery ques- tion. Being a Missouriau, and brought up to believe that negro slavery was a divine institution. 1 was, of course, on the pro- slavery side, and fuughtwith the ‘blue lodg- ers’ against the ‘free soil Northerners,’ who proved too much and too many for us, and the soil of Kansas, stained with the biood of many brave men, was dedicated to fiee- aye against my will and efforts, you can re , ‘*Please allow me to ask one question, right here. Do you think that if you had succeed- ed in planting slavery in that new territory the State of Kansas in the year 1878 would have been the largest wheat producing State inthe Union (over 30,000,000 bushels), and the fourth in the production of corn (over 103,500,000 bushels) ?’’ ‘*I reckon not. After the Kansas war was endea, I weut off down into New Mexico, ‘Texas and over into old Mexico, engaging in different kinds of business with ups and downs until the rebellion broke out, and then I joined the Confederate army and we got whipped worse in that than we did in the Kansas war, with this difference in the result —the former was effectual, while the latter seems to have been forgotten ina measure. I lost my healthin the Confederate army, and when discharged went. home to die, but it seems my time had not. come; and hearing wonderful stories about the Colorado climate, I set out for the vicinity of Pike’s Peak, weak and feeble, and nowI am well and strong. You can judge of my powers of endurance when I tell yeu that no storm, however severe, during the past winter, kept me from being with my flock all day long. i Again thanking our new friend, we bade him good morning, at the same time receiving a kind invitation to ‘*call again.’’ Now let us It will be seen from the estimates given that the income amounts to $800 for wool and $ 1.260 om lambs. From these two items deduct es of shepherd and other necessary help, an uding hoard, $500; shearing, $40; loss on sheep, say. 0 per cent, $320; incidental ex- penses, $100; hay and grain, $100, although none will be required more than one vear in six. According to these figures, ee have left $1,000, for an investment of $3,200 in sheep and $1,000 in a ranch, which lacks only $8 of 26 per cent. Twoor three days since 1 had an hour’s pleasant conversation with a gentleman from Eastern New York who had just purchaseda sheep ranch and 1,300 sheep in Los Animas county, Colorado, shone 120 miles from here.

Correspondence of the Philadetphia wraph,] And before I quit the theme of song and of singers, let me mention a glimpse that loaught before leaving London of one of the celebrities ofthe past.. On leaving the home of Mme. Albani I crossed the atreet to look at the dwelling of Jenny Lind, The house stands back from the street, and a garden that must in summer be a very bouquet of flowers and verdure, extends in front of it. A bust of the great singer, life-size and in marble, stands in the larze bay window that fronts the garden. And beside the bust sat an elderly lady, ina white mob-cap and white cashniere shaw), engaged in partaking of the afternoon cup of tea that forms so promiment a feature in English social life. She was talk- ing to some one in the room, and as she turned to the window I saw again the face that I had last looked upon, crowned with roses and lighted with inspiration, on the stage of Trip- ler Hall, twenty-eight long years ago. Under the distiguring cap, the fair hair, now a ager streaked with gray, was seen rolled yack in preciscly the same fashion as that which set all the girls in America to twisting back their tresses in those bygone years. Inother respects Jenny Lind has greatiy changed. Few could have recognized in the pale, worn lineaments of the elderly lady the well nigh angelic countenance of the greatest singer of our day and generation. Il permiited myself but one glance, not wishing to violate even by a iook the sanctity of that tranquil home. Iam toid that Mme. Lind- Goldschmidt, as she styles herself, is very eccentric aud peculiar. She still interests herself in music, being the leader of the Bach Choir, a private associution, to which some of the first ladies in London belong; and 80 se- vere is she in her requirements, and so strict in Cemanding their fulfillment, ‘that her higa born pupils wre often tempted to rebel. Her eldest daughter had an extremely pleasing voice, and it is said that Jenny Lind for a time cherished the hope of seeing her own artistic glories revived in “the person of her child. But. unfortunately, the young lady had neither inherited her mother’s genius nor her ardent passion for art. She was in- dolent and would not study, so that hope is at an end. Probably it is as well. From all that l could hear, it appeared that her voico wis in nowise one of exceptional power or beauty. And to have beenthe daughter of Jenny Lind and to achieve only a moderate success, would have been a result by no means enviable. [Paris Tele- ee ak , . May Day Past and Present. (\T. J. Bowditch in the Troy Times. } May was the second month of the yearin the old Alban calendar, third in that of Rom- ulus and fifth in that of Numa Pompilius. In the Alban calendar it only had twenty-six cays, and in that of Numa thirty days. The | odd day of which Numa deprived it was re- stored bv Julius Casar. From an early peri- | ced it was the custom for ail ranks of peuple in England, France and other European coun- tries to go out *‘a Maying,’’ as it was called. early on the first of May. In all paris of Reslend. at the dawn of May day, the youth of both sexes Jeft their towns and vil- lages and repaired to the woodlands with musie , and singing. They gathered the | ‘*may,’’ or blossoming branches of the trees, and bound them with weeaths of flowers. Keturning home by sunrise, they decorated the lattices and doors of their dwellings with their scented spoils, and spent the rest of the da¥in sports and pustimes. This was the | relic of an anciert custom umong the Romans, who observed the four last days of April and the Ist of May in memorv of Flora, the god- | dess of flowere. The earliest notice of the ccleLration of May day in England was by the who used to light large fires on the summits of the | hills in honor of the return of spring.

Signor Nouvelli, Signora Pasqua, Signor Silvestri, Mile. Schou, Signor Vidal, Signor Sylva and Signora Turolla, the most prominent of these debutants, have apparently achieved but artial successes. Nouvelli is criticised for his **mannerisms and detective pronunciation of Italian,’’ his **exaggeration and faultv execution,’’ which seem to be serious objections to an artist. Sig- nora Pasqua made her first appearance in ‘ ‘La Favorita,’’ as did Signor Silvestri. The for- mer artist seems to have given a colorless per- formance, neither good nor bad, and is ad- vised by one critic to *‘try to obtain better cadences and better dresses, the one and the other being equally tasteless.”? Sig- nor Silvestri is pronounced to be a baritone without sufficient power. Mile. Schou is said to be handsome and pleasing, but ‘‘her voice is thin and exe- cution far from faultiess,’’ and she seems to have proved unable to cope with the require- ments of grand opera. M. Vidal is said to have acted the part of Marcel in the **Hugue- nots’’ better than he sal it. to be ‘‘thor- oughly unfit for the part,’* and to have made changes to suit his own ! steed powers. Sig- nor Sylya, who was supposed to be the com- ing tenore robusto, is treated with unanimous disapproval. He made his debut in Roberto il Diavolo, and the best of the —_ criticisms ————— his *‘appearance, display of voice nd performance to oe simpty ridiculous.’’ He is said to be no tenore robuste, but a high baritone, ‘ “ayny, eee te the oe of a tenor voice.’ reover, of forcing his voiee u **producing shakes ns utter taste.’’ pee debut of Sieeare Turolla ia **Faust,’’ with Capoul, > Lune is styled by one paper as ‘‘the irresistible oes love- maker,’’) has been the most successful event of the season thus far, though Signora Turol- la is severely criticised by some of the hoe for her immature style.

The genial and prosperous Koch has received the appointment ot General Murine Agent for the Buffalo lnsurance Company. At Lowe &: MeLaughiin’s the eagerness of a boy to get atthe candy caused a lose of two plates of French glass—uninsured. The remark of a cegtain local N. P., that there’'sa huge lie out about the rate to St. Louis from New York, needs looking into. The great conundrum is, What is the rate of insurance trom New York to New Orleans by steamer, thence by Anchor Line to St. Lous? Two weeks have passed since the first of Jan- uary without any 8t. Louis agenf, so tar as is known, being compelled to send for an adjust- ex of losses. ‘‘Meat’’ being wanted, several agents have turped their attention to the insurance of plate gius8 against Ureakage—u new species of **woodchuck.’’ The advantages of being an agent are many— under favoring circuinstances. One agent takes risks at just half the rate his company asks for the same adventure. C. L. Thompson, Esq., has peen appointed murine agent for the Mercantile, of Cleveland. This gives Mr, Thompson additional facilities in a business already largeand successful. Street car horses ran into the windows of the Mis:ouri Glass Company,doing great damage. The loss to the owner of the building might have been guarded against by a policy ot insur- ance. Three plates of glass were shot out of the ‘'Temple’’ at a cost of $700 to David Nichol- son, theowner. If the glass bad been insure. the $700 might have been added tothe ‘*South- ern Hotel’’ fund. There has been created a new route for St. Louis freight via Cromwell Line of steamships from New York to New Orleans and the Anchor Line thence to St. Louis. This is anew im- pulse to the great water-way and marine in- surance contingent thereunto. The frequency of fires throughout the coun- try makes it incumbent upon the prudent prop- erty owner to look well to his policy expira- tions. So far as St. Louis is concerned the ae- structiveness of tires ought to keep the vigi- lant property owner awake to the necessity of ample and good insurance. The duy when some companies found it con- sonant with their purposes to employ an army of whatire known us ‘‘sharp’’ adjusters has entirely passed. It was au evil day whiie it lasted and was born of the speculations, frauds and demoralization of war times and the eventtul years ot waning business and disturbed values immediately thereunto succeeding, the worst effect of which fell so heavily upon in- surance cavital. The prominent eompa- nies are probably, without exception, repre- sented ‘inthe fleld’’ by worthy business gen- tlemcn—men who can ‘‘point a moral and adorn a tale.’’ It may be that underwriters are altogether wrong iu their estimate of things, but it is very certain that a large number of companies are reducing their lines and increasing their rates in St. Louis, because of a lack of confidence in the St. Louis Fire Departinent. A prominent up-town agency wrote a risk in one of its leading companies, which the company ordered canceled. ‘Ihe agent remonstrated thata similar risk Was written in Chicago by the same company, at the same rate. The company responded that quotations in other cities were no criterion for St. Loais uatil the fire department of this city showeda greater degree of efficiency. The troubles which many peopie meet who bave fire losses often spring trom their own ac- tion. The moment they have aloss they fancy itthey do not claim something considerably more than even, they will get something con- NO greater mis- made. Adjusters are community, whose to figure losses, who meet all classes of Ciaiim.- ants—the strictly honest. the doubt- fuljand the clear-cut fraud. They are as keen- scented to discover fair and just treatment and claims as they are to discover the trace of greed or dishonesty. In nine cases take coull be a sharp-witted business it is ' out of ten where the assured mects the adjust- ers with opemmess and candor, he has little or no reason to complain of any liack of cour- tesy or fair dealing on their part. Reputable companies are as far from taking any adyautage of the assurcd in a fair and just loss as they are trom voluntarily consenting that advantage shall be taken of them through fraudulent or inequitavle claims.

Marriage Means Companionship. True marriage consists not of love alone, but of many other important and necessary ac- companiments. Sympathy, respect, natural affinity, confidence, companionship, are among its most essential concomitants. With- out these to strengthen and support it love is but a frail tenure by which to hoid the happi- ness of alife. Itisa leash from which, at any moment,the sleuth-hounds of discontent, distrust, regret and satiety are apt to slip and work ruin and devastation. The mav or woman who marries depending on love alone for happiness, builds a house on a foundation of sand indeed, and discovers ‘the irreparable error too late. There should be respect—for, if not, at the first cold breath ’ Jove is only too apt to wither and fade; affinity—for utterly antagonistic elements can never harmopize. Natures that are in direct opposition are like oil and water; mix them as you may,they will not conglomerate. Con- fidence, for the want of it is a bar to ~ gli true happiness in marriage. Distrust could well be called the progenitor of all domestic evil. Want of confidence 1s its twin brother— sympathy and companionship are syonymous. The one is a vital part of the other, for sym- pathy surely means companionship. In true mafiiage the man and the woman should sim- ply form aunit. The individuality of the two should be sunken into one. Together they should form -a complete whole—apart they are unfinished fragments. Otherwise it is but a material fonjunction,—a meeting of the lower, not the higher natures, an association that deter- jorates both, degrades both. It is union with- out communion, association without assimi-’ Jation. The higher, inward life led apart at last becomes as far asunder asthe poles. To each it would seem a desecration, a veritable profanation of the holy of holies to allow the other to enter the sacred portal, instead of, as it should be, a joint altar, where, united, they could worship in perfect accord. Mar- riage from this standpoint soon becomes no marriage, for love itself will strand on such a bleak shore. It becomes _ simply an association from necessity, habit, - wutualinterest. A union that is binding by love and what men call honor, nothing more. ‘ Marriage means, or should mean, equality in every sense ofthe word. Itis a partnership in which there should be no controlling inter- est—all things should be equal. A wife should never allow or acknowl- edge aseparate existence from that of the husband. Laws, moral and divine, should be the same for both. Ifa man’s nature is so much grosser than that of a woman that he may indulge in pleasures that she may not share; if he places her on a height so far above him that she may not even reach down into the abyss where he grovels contented; if her nature isso pure that he would not expose her to the chance touch that would be con- tamination, where his is of such like color that it may rub without fear of smirch or stain, .fhen how can that man expect the woman not to feel her superiority, not to appreciate her’ elevation and his debasement? Let hiin purify .the streamr of his own life for fear of muddying the clear water of her’s, for there is indeed creat truth in that old adage, ‘*One cannot touch pitch and remain undetiled.’’ We do not ask that he should drag her down to his level, but that he should elevate himself to hers. It ison this broad basis alone that husband and wife can be compan- ions. Each should have his or her duties, which should be shared as far as practicable. The pleasures and enjoyments of both should be united. Their'thoughts, ambitions, nopes interchanged, their lives—all one. This is mar- wigze inits truest sense, perfect in its com- pleteness, ‘‘a thing of beauty that is a joy forever.’’ Marriage is thus made a companionship that will alike bear the buffeting storms of sorrow and the sunshiny brightness of joy. A com- panionship that is full to the brim of content- ment, happiness, trust, and all gol things, which is never biighted su lenness, marred by _ bickerings and disagreements, destroyéd by distrust and éuspicion. It is a saafriage of the soul as well as the body, a union into which never creeps the blighting shadow of regret, the heart-breaking ‘sadness of the ‘‘might have been.’’ The man and woman who enter wed- lock as companions as well as lovers are not ‘only married, but mated. Girls Must Learn to be Practical. We have, of course, no objection to our girls being as pretty as they can be or God has made, or as charming as the choicest schooling in the social arts can ake them, says the N. Y. Times; but they gain nothing in the lon? run by being fools or seeming such. A lovely _girl with genuine good sense holds her charm long after the shallow prattler has'’playe@ out her little game. Our girls should have, for iucif own sake as well as for ours, a more rational education, and so, also, a more prac- tical one. This may be repeating the same thing in otber words, yet fairly considered it is but carrying the idea out, since what is rea- sonable needs to be carried out in order to be practical. Here comes the pinch of the whole matter—the practical education of girls and any man who dares to be horest and tell the whole truth must expect astorm of indig- nation in certain quarters, and would have his ears pulled by gentle hands if littie feminine -. tenipers.could be put into action. There can be no doubt that, according to a certain stand- ard of gentility, ali useful industry is under a bay,.and that the young lady, as such, is sup- never to see the kitchen or to know any- bout the dull utilities of the house- .

In reference to the murderof the spy Rein- stern, the editor of Land and Liberty writes: The Executive Committee, which has given so much disquiet to the authorities, has given a fresh proof of its activity by the murder of the Moscow spy, Reinstein, better known un- der the name of Nicholas Vassilievitch. Kein- stein fully deserved his fate. He betrayed te the Government scores of persons who at this present moment languish in confinement, or are exiled to distant and lonely regions. Con- scious of his guilt, Reinstein of late had been in constant dread of assaseination. He was killed by two dsgger stabe inthe chest. He wus struck in one of the rooms of the Momon- teff Hotel, and died instantaneously. On his body was afterward found a note, of which the contents were as fellows: ‘‘*Traitor and spy, Nicholas Vassilievitch Reinstein; dewned and executed by us, the Russian Socialistic Revotutionists. Death to Judases and betrajers.’’ Of the revolutionists who ‘‘executed’” Reinstein no trace has yet been_ discovered.
