A DOUBLE LYNCHING. -— — Two New Mexico Murderers Taken from Jail and Hung by a Mob. _ — Latest Happenings in the Crim- inal World. ee A Double Lynching in New Mexico. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO, June 7.—A lynch- ing ot an extraordiary character is reported to have taken place at Las Vegas last Wednes- day night. An Italian last fall murdered 4 Frenchman and a Mexican woman for which he was sentenced to death, but managed to obtain a vew trial. The people off Las Vegas were apprehensive that the mur- derer might escape the penalty of which they deemed him deserving, and a greet deal of in- dignation was expressed concerning the leniency of the law, and threats were openly made of taking the party ont and hanging him to the first tree. In addition to the excitement overthe Italian’s case there was another cause for apprehension in the mur. der committed Wednesday by Mexi- can, who was arrested and lockedupjn jail: The citizens of the place were unabje to re- strain themselves. Accordingly a large force organized an at night marched te the jail, where they forced an entrance, and, taking the keys away trom the Sheriff, opened the cells of the mnurcerers and marched them out. They took the doomed men to the public square and with little or no ceremony hanged both of.them. The hanging was done in the presence of anumber of persons; no attempt was made at conceaiment. The bodies were not cut down, andin the morning they still remained suspended. The outrage has caused consider- able feeling, but there is no probability that the lynchers will be caliedon to answer for their crime. . A Double Tragedy. -Ry Western Associated Press.

The Kellogg-Spofford Case. By Western Aseociated Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7.—The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections resumed to-day the examination of witnesses in the Kel- logg-Spofford case. Just prior to the opening of the proceedings Johnson, the colored wit- ness, examined Thursday, was arrested in the Capitol by the Capitol] policemen, presumably on the charge of perjury. Wiliiam John De Lacy, colored, and an in- telligent gentleman, testified in reply to Mer- rick, counsel for Spofford: He had been a Re- publican memberof the Legislature from Rap- ides Parish and was one of the body that elected hellogg to the Senate. left Rapides Parish in his pocket run away trom the parish, being bulldozed by the White Camelias and other organizations. He went to New Orleans to meet the Legisila- ture and to save his own lite. He went for both purposes combined. q@.—wWbo bulldozed you? A.—The Democratie party of Rapides parish. Q.—Who were the men? munity. Being asked whether he had applied to Governor Kellogg for money, neve replied that he had asked Kellogg to advance him fitty dol- lars to assist him in a speculation, but had not ZOt it from him, and in answer to other questions said he did not ask Kellogg tor $50 for his ( witness’ ) vote ior him. He never signed any puper con- taining such statement. Henever stated that Kellogg lenthim $50 with the understanding that he would vote for sim. Q .—Huave you ever signed a paper containing that statement? A.—I signed no paper but one, and that I wrote myself. Q.—Did you vote in the joint conven- tion? A.—I first voted blank, because I was in favor of Pinchback; I afterwards changed wy vote from biank to Kellogg. Mr. Swith, who was afterwards member of Congress and Collectorof New Orleans, told me on that occasion to stand by Kellogg, as it did not look well for Republicans to split up among themselves. Q.—Did not Smith, before your voting, t*row an envelope on your desk and tell you that it contained money?. A.—He did not. A paper was bere handed witness, and he de- nied that the signature or body of it was in his handwriting. This paper.wis afterwards mark- ed by the chairman and :@pvorter to be used in contradiction of the witness. lt- is an affidavit taken iefore Juage Prusson A.—The whole com- emigrants, who are in the habit of sending | Supreme | vieff to death by hanging, after the deprivation | inthe moagth of Avril last, purporting to be | made and signed vy the witness, in wh'ch he states that Smiththrewa sealed envelope on bis desk; that he opened it und found it con- | tained money; also that members had been offercd from $200 to $250for their vote and that several who had been so promised had got nothing. and that he himself got $200 for vot- ing tor hellogg. O.—Have you received $200 for voting for | Kellogg? A.—No, and never stated that I did. | Witness, inanswer to questions by Senator | Kellogg, said he had made an affidavit which | he had written himself, at the suggestion of | Ward, Spofford’s traveling agent, and | who told him if he made such M statement he could | go baek to his parish and live with his family. | There was not any statement in the aftidavit as | to having received any money for voting for Kellogg. There was never anv inducement held out to witness to vote tor Kellogg. hellogg and himself were not triend- ly and he had nothing to say to the Senator. Q.—Do you know of any personwho was paid any money for voting forme? A.—I do not. Iwas presentatall caucus meetings. Never made a speech there; and whatever electioneering was done was done by your friends. Being questioned as to the conversations with Thomius Muriay, the witness examined yesterday, witness said Murray told him that if Spofford were successful in this contest, he (witness) would be provided for and would get $2,500. Beingjasked concern- ing Thomas,the Kepresentative froin Bossier Parisb,as to whom Murray poms ood pyr engre A that be was illof the small-pox and. was per- sonated by another colored man in the ballot for Senator, witness swore positively that he slept .with Thomas the night before the joint convention: that Thomas was present atthe time of the votirg, that he sat closs by the witness and did vote on that occa- sion. Thomas died about three nionths afterwards. He had zone over with witness to the Nicholis Legislature. Members who had done so had received from $500 to $2,500. He (witness) had got $500 for himself and his colleague, Drew. This money was paid as a considera- tion for voting for Spofford, not for going over to the Legislature. This money had been paid by Senator Robertson, of St. Landry pa- ish ; the Democratic Senator Demas cf St. John’s managed the financial part, and had from $15,0u0 ty $20 ,UUuU to divide among the men who votei for Spof- ford. It wasregardea as material that Spor- ford should receive all the Republican votes so thathe might get his seat inthe Republicay Senate. Q.—What was the argument nsed against me? A.—That you could not be seated, anil that we might us well send a conservative mau like Spotford—a Democratic carpet-bagzer. Q.—State the names of those who, to your knowledge, received money for voting tor Spofford. A.—Myself, F. J. Davy, ot St. Lan- dry; —— of Pointe Coupe; Romero, ot Iberia; Barron, otf Natchitoches; Drew, of Rapides, and R. J, Walker, of Tensas. There were twelve who refused to vote for Spofford. .—Explain how you know this? A.—Because before the election for SenatorI wasin Cas- -sidy’s Hotel with others engaged in a negotia- tion with P. J. Kennedy, and we were to re- ceive $100 a day and our per diem and mileage in cash, and the patronage ot our par- ishes to xo to the Nicholls Legislature and make a returning board quorum. By Senator Houston: Do you say you got money for going to the Nicholis Legislature? A.—I got money for voting tor Spofford. Q.—Dia you get anything for going over to the Nicholls Legislature? A.—No, sir. When I went over the nproney bad been given out. Q.—Then they did not give you anything ex- cept for your vote for Spufford? A.—No, sir. They desired a retarning board quorum, and it was immaterial whether I went over or not. Q.—After you voted for Spoftord,did you ever return te the Packard Legislature? A.—No, sir, because the Packard Legislature bad gone down before I went over tothe Nicholls L-gis- lature. The Packard Government ceased on the 18th of April and I went to the Nicholis Lexisiature on the 19th. By Senator Kellogg—Was money paid at that time to the members going over? A.—No, sir; not for going over. Demas told me that money hud been placed in his hands and that after he had bonght up ali the Packard wembers he could buy till the money gave out. Q.—Was it specifically understood that the five hundred dollars which was paid you was paid for your vote for Spofford’? A.—It was specifically understood. That understanding was with Senator Robertson, of St. Bernard,in the office of Charles P. Howard, President of the Louisiana Lottery Company, who advanc- ed $40,000 tothe Nicholis government. There was before that Legisiature a bill to repeal the charter of that company and the Dill failed in the Honse. The attention of the witness was called to the affidavit presented m Merrick.

A Large Audience Assembles to Greet the ‘“Sweet Girl Graduates.” At the Polytechnic. The regular semi-annual examination of the St. Louis Normal School took place this morn- ibg in the Polytechnic Institute. The exercises of the graduating class took place in the after- noon at Mercantile Library Hall. The exami- nations opened promptly at 9 o’clock and were under the general direction of Prof. L. Soldan, principal of the Normal School. The music was - in charge of Mr. E. Froelich. There was a good attend- ance of visitors, many of whom were teachers from the various public schools. These exam- inations are of a very interesting character, and it would repay any one interested in the cause of education to hear them. Continual improvements are being made in the methods of teaching, and continual improvements are keing made in the methods of teaching others how to teach. It is seldom that a more entertaining, in- structive and gratifying display is seen than that which was provided at the Polytechnic this morning. Nothing could better indicate the blessings of civilization and the progress of the age. The time was, and not long ago either, when it was the accepted doctrine that men only were fit teachers of the young, but that doctrine is almost reversed. It has been not only discovered that giriscan receive an education as wellas boys, Dut that women make better teachers than men. The pupils in the St. Louis Normal School are ail young jadies, and outof these come the teachers of the St. Louis public scheols. The examina- tion exercises this morning were for the purpose of showing the wethods of teaching children and the methods used in preparing young ladies forthat work. It is difficult to see where there could be any improvement, but busy minds are continually discovering some change forthe better. and these busy minds are mostly those of women. While Prof. Soldan deserves great praise for his untiring and successful efforts as princi- pul, it must not be forgotten that most of the practical work ts done by his female assistants.

The subjects selecte essays and teaching exercises were out of the usual range, and were treated in an éminently practical manner, The hall is quite large, but it was casy to hear every word spoken in any part of it by the pupils. Kvery one spoke out with perfect ease and freedom, displaving thorough training. Miss Maggie MeWeency’s essay on ‘‘The Effects of War’’ was readin a clear, distinct voice, and was apoene sensible production. It showed that the giacy has studied some things outside of her books, that she read the newspapers and knew what was going on in the world. The teaching exercise with ‘‘The Sphinx’’ as a subject, conducted by MISS BESSIE DAVIS, was excellent. The young lady, who did not look to be over seventeen, took the platform and treated all the schoo! as her pupils. She began by asking what the Sphinx wasand then went on to tell something about it herself and so on until sne had betore nhber class a good conception of the history and character of the great -Egyptian monu- ment. The questions and answers and the lit- tle speeches ofthe teacher were all delivered in a vigorous, prompt and spirited manner, so that there was no flagging of interest in the subject but acontinual expectation of some- thing new and interesting. ‘‘Evangeline,’’ by Miss Laura Chamberlain, was a good essay. It was full of tender bits of pathos, and was read with distinctness and emphasis. THE TEACHING EXERCISB of Miss Ellis on ‘‘Turner, the great English painter,’’ was very fine. Miss Ellis was well prepared, and ber pupils did not seem to be far behind her. ‘-To what particular branch of art was Turg- er’s genius directed?’’ asked the teacher. ‘*Landscape-painting,’’ answered a pupil, ‘*‘Who was Turner's greatest rival?’’ ‘*Claude Lorraine.’’ And then Miss Ellis proceeded to speak of the diverse qualities of Turner and Lorraine; how the one exceiled the other in this and that, and what Ruskin said about cach of them. ‘If Turner painted a picture that should have & square tower, to heighten the effect he would put ip a round tower,’’ and so on until evervbody present bad a fair con- ception of the distinguished English artist. She went on to say that Turner displayed three distinct styles and then went into an analysis of the stylesthat- was so plainly stated that all could comprehend it. Miss Ellis clearly showed that the principles of art can be taught just as easily as those of arithmetic anu gram- war,and that they are a great deal more attrac- tive. | ‘CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN'’ was the subject of ua teaching exercise conduct- ed by Miss Smesler. Here was another pragti- cal subject, and one that a teacherten yéars ego would not have dared to discuss in the presence of boys and girls, for fear theit mor- als might have been seriousiv evdanger- ed. ‘There are yet remains of such ideas, but they are rapidly hiding themselves in the shadows of the past. ‘-Is Charlotte Cushman living?’’ fair young teacher, ‘*She is dead.’’ ‘*When did she die?’’ **In 1876.’’ then Miss Smeslier went on that Charlotte Cushman was born in Boston in 1816; that she was descended from good old Puritan stock ; that she had a good voice at first, but lost it ast New Orleuns; that skheffinally went on the stage as an actress, and so onand so on. Thenshe proceeded to auestion her ‘oe about the matters which she had related. ‘‘When was Miss Cushman born, Miss Leary?’’ Miss Leary answered correctly. ‘*Who. in this room, has seen Charlotte Cush- man act?’’ Several hands went up. ‘*‘In what character did you see her, Miss Davis?’’ **Meg Merriis.’’ ‘*Was it Charlotte Cushman you saw or Meg Merriles?’’ **It was Meg Merriles.’’ And then the teacher wentonto speak of how tbe great actress identified herself with the particular character which she was playing, and how the was able to properly interpret the se Spakspeare. This was the manner of conducting the exercises, and is certainly a very admirable way of teaching ‘‘the young idea how to shoot.’’ The recitation of THE MIDDLE CLASS on the subject of ‘*The Constitution’’ was con- ducted by one of the lady teacheis of the Normal School, an was a magnificent exhibition.

Unless he is anidiot, he must have known very well that his whole venture was calculated to excite hopes destined never to be real- ized. This was not a special kindness to the negroes, and, on the other hand, the assumption that his boat was likely to be interfered with by “‘lawless and violent persons’? was a gratuitous insult to the South, none the less odious because such insults gre all too frequent. In an interesting interview with the cor- respondent of the Cincinnati Hnquirer, Lieutenant-Governor Dorsheimer, of New York, who is known both as a very able man and a most thorough hard money Democrat, indorsed Tom Ewing’s nomina- tion, and gave the following capital reasons to the interviewer: ‘‘T indorse it,’’ he said. ‘*You may say so if you choose. I hadalong contest with him at the St. Louis Convention, begun in the committee and continued before the conven- tion, on the financial planks of the platform. He wanted it soft; I wanted it hard. I think him, however, a sincere, able man, whose character and conduct deserve such a recognition.’ ’ ‘*Why can you, Mr. Dorsheimer, hold this view, considering his extreme position on the currency ?’’ ‘-Because I think the currency question to be settled. We have come to specie payments. The people see that no man’s previous views can disturb the result. Business is reviving again: increased activity isin almost all de- partments. We wantas much paper as can be maintained consistent with specie and cur- rency being at par. I don’t think there is any longer abugbearinthat difference of opin- ion.’’ ‘*Yet would you not fear a man whose mind was astray on such an inflexible principle as a specie bottom to the national notes of hand?’’ ‘*Ewing,’’ said the Lieutenant-Governor., ‘fis not a demagogue on this subject. He may be said to have inherited his hobby. His father, Thomas Ewing, sen., was a man of strong parts, but not deep, perhaps, on politi- cal economy. Out of a patriotic disposi- tion he evolved, partly from latent gleams of wisdom, a currency theory much the same as General Ewing's. This comes to his son something in the light of a reverential be- quest. He has held to it since 1868 to my knowledge. As itis now inapplicable, I say that any hard-money Democrat can vote for General Ewing with safety. I would vote for him, though my views are diametrically op- posite. He is a large man,physically and in- tellectually. I made his acquaintance first when he was practicing law in Washington, and formed a high appreciation of him.’’ ‘“*MR. THURMAN’S TRIUMPH.” THE Cincinnati Enquirer has never conceal- ed its hostility to Senator Thurman. Nor does it now conceal that Ewing’s nomination, precisely as we predicted, was the triumph of Thurman’s enemies.—{POST-DISPATCH. Now it so happens that the leading editgyial in yesterday’s Enquirer was entitled ‘ ‘glo Thurman’s Triumph,’’ and was intended to show that the convention of last Wednesday Mttey in ow it so happens that our contemporary does not know what it is talking about, or does not understand the irony of the Cin- cinnati Enquirer. The day after Mr. Ew- ing’s nomination the Enquirer had this paragraph of one line: will with *‘Senator Thurman ae Democrat, we suppose, would have taken that seriously too. But the very head-line of “Senator Thurman’s Triumph,’’ which be wild Globe- is quoted, only represents this point in the article : It is not every statesman who can write a platform for this party in his State, ship it several hundred miles toan important State convention, and secure its adoption verbatim et literatim without being on the ground to plead its cause. This, we areassured, Sena- tor Thurman did this week. This certainly shows the hold he has upon his party in Ohio. This is trrumph enough for one party leader in one State convention. It will gratify thou- sands of Democrats in this State to know that Senator Thurman himself was the author and finisher of this faith, and this was Senator Thurman’s triumph in the recent convention. So that Mr. Thurman’s triumph refers to the platform, not the nominations. There is not a single intelligent journal in the land that does not know and say that the nomination of General Ewing, beyond the shadow of a doubt, was the defeat of Senator Thurinan, who desired the nemina- tion of General Rice. There has never been and never can be friendship between Thurman and Ewing. Party discipline, mutual interest or sheer necessity will compel Mr. Thurman to make the best face tothe bad bargain and sup- port, Mr. Ewing’s election. But in his heart he dislikes and fears him. For there is nothing more certain in this world than the fact that General Ewing’s can- vass this fall will give him greater national prominence than even Mr. Thurman has, will give him a great opportu- nity to display his remarkable abilities as an orator before the people, will allow him to gather laurels which Mr. Thurman can never gather, and will make him not only a pos- sible candidate for the Presidency, but the certain and a most formidable rival for Thurman’s seat in the Senate. Mr. Thurman really can not be blamed if he is inwardly mad. PERFECTLY PROPER. Some people think it improper that ex- Judge Gottschalk should be retained by the city as additional counsel in the gas suit. We think it is eminently proper. The fact that Judge Gottschalk rendered the first decision in the case, and rendered it in favor of the city, is not only no dis- qualification, but the contrary. It is natu- ral that Judge Gottschalk should take great pride and interest in seeing his original de- cision upheld by the upper courts, as a reversal would almost ruin his legal repu- tation. It is also natural that, having de- voted years of thought and study on the bench to the thorough understanding of the case, Mr. Gottschalk should understand its every aspect better tham any other law- yer the city could get. And the more a man knows, not the less, the more he js qualified to take the case. x te ’ a a te ¥ 4 i ee, ee ais tee pk) : - — a ’ : tounsehiet all. Bt the: tainly seems no one more desirable and bet- ter qualified than Judge Gottschalk.. Now the Gas Company have employed additional legal talant, though they had quite an array already. Willard P. Hall and Jas. O. Broad- head are the additional counsel of the Gas Company. The city authorities have deemed it prudent to make an offer to Judge Gottschalk and Col. Phillips of Sedalia. Neither of the gentlemen sought the place. We think the offer an eminent- ly wise one. The case is so important that every conceivable precaution should be used. And no two lawyers could have been found in the whole State that would act with greater honesty and scrupulousness than Louis Gottschalk and John F. Phillips of Sedalia. PUBLIC OPINION. A New Ticket—Blue Jeans Williams and William Dorsheimer. ST. Louis, June 6. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: After reading your sound financial views on the Ohio platform you will excuse me for suggesting the names oftwo gentlemen for our standard bearers in 1880 for President and Vice-President of the United States with all due defference to the claims of Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, Thomas A. Hendricks, or A. G. Thurman. I allude to the present Governor of Indiana, Blue Jeans Williams, for President, and the present Lieutenant-Governor of New York, Dorshcimer, for Vice-President. These two gentlemen can and will carry Indiana, Ohio and New York against the combined power of Grant, Sherman, Hayes and the en- tire Republican party, Bloody Shirt Blaine to the contrary notwithstanding. With my best wishes for the continued success of vour excellent paper, I remain respectfully, THOMAS J. HENLEY. The Opera-House Scheme—A Good Idea. St. LOUIS, June 7. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I read your article on the Opera-house scheme as revived by Mr. Smit. Now, since you have taken the matter up, I presume you have no objeetions to me suggesting to Mistar Smit one or two things. Of course, the people of St. Louis must not be too inquisitive as to the modus operandi to which that truly good and philanthropic gentleman Mistar Smit is to resortin order to give the Future Greata grand building. Not atall, nor is it the desire of the writertoinany way embarrass Mistar Smit. I wouldsimply suggest,though, that itis essentially necessary to secure the services of a progressive man as secretary— one who, if urged, can raise ready money or ‘‘cash money.’’ Inthis community, if the police department will assist, such a man may be had. Ireferto Mr. Goldsoll. If Muistar Smit would only secure the services of Mr. Goldsoll, his scheme would bea grand success and worthy of the conception of schemers. I mefely offer a suggestion hoping it will be put in the shape of a motion. I remain, A WITNESS LOOKING ON. A Disgusted Democrat. ST. Louis, June 7, ’79. To the Editor of the Post-Disp:t'h: lo one among the many who welcomed the | edtheir thirtieth anniversary of wedded lite return of Democracy to power efter so long a probation the coming fiasco of the present | Democratic Congress provokes a mingled feel- | ing of disgust and despair. Unpleasant predictions are now in order, and none so plain to the belief of the writer as these: 1. Our model friend, Ulysses the wanderer, | will be the candidate of Radicalism, 2. The excejlect party management of the Republicans, joined to the unscrupulous use of force and fraud whenever and wherever necessary, guarantees his election. 3. The blunders of Democracy and lak of stamina among its representatives will not permit of any resistance in this event. The campaign of 1880 1s being fought in the hails of Congress to-day, and the result ought to be plain to all. There are those whose experience in human affairs divides mankind into but the general classification of knaves and fools and who ac- | cept a choice according as they are ruled by their interests.or their moral principles. The application of this idea to national politics at least seems exceedingly appro- priate. ; There seems to be no chance for Democracy to succeed unless it adopts the knavish meth- ods which gained Hayes the Presidency in 1876. Therefore, there is no prospeet fora Democratic President in 1881 unless the Re- publican candidate is counted out. For this we have the precedent of the last election. but a survey of Democracy from 8.J. Tilden & Co. down to the gentleman who chiefly rep- resents the city of St. Louis in Congress for- bids the idea of anything in that direction. Such gentlemen, fearful that their own moneyed interests may become involved by the Radical bugbear cry of ‘ ‘revolution, ” are easily scared into acting sothat a minority becomes a majority and the party which elect- ed them therebv misrepresented. While the only chance for Democracy to be successful restsin the harmonious action of the party in Congress, these same weak-mind- ed representatives who elected Hayes’ by consenting to the fraud of 1876, who voted solid for Randall as Speaker,and now are about to allow the Republican minority to dictate its own terms, are the chief if not the only cause of Democratic failure. 4. For this reason the next general election will show an apathy among Democrats—there being no use to earryan election simply to be betrayed by men whose greed for office is only exceeded by a fear of losing its profits. Those whose diet appears to be milk and water, and who lay up their treasures above, seem to have joined the Democratic party to operate it as a peace society—no kicks and cuffs resented. Democratic newspapers must become ‘ ‘stal- wart’’ and advocate the election of suitable men, or else the man who feels it knavish to vote for radical principles must acknowledge it foolish to vote the opposition. Ww. _ ae THE SLATE COMPLETE. The long agony is past, The slate is complete at last The result is sad to relate. As you walk along the street, Full two-thirds of those you meet Are unable their nose to locate. You try to pass by Bessehl’s. Each loafer seems on thisties, And perforce you seek the gutter, While their arms like wind-mills swing, And like some uncanny thing, Wild and threatening they mutter. They’re of expletives profuse, And on Kebr they let them lose; They certainly mean what they say. Though not learned in books, I can read aright their looks; If so they are bound to repay. Don’t blame them; they’re deceived, They have cause to teel aggrieved ; The Council they charge with foul dealing. For the Xekr who sold them out They still hold, beyond a doubt, Traly a hang-Kebr-ing feeling.

Glasgow, Glasgow place, was one of the pleasantest and most suc- cessful social festivals of the week. The hand- some grounds were beautifully illuminated and the amusements were very varied. There was excellent music by Miss Ada Branson and Messrs. Phil. Branson and David Colville. There was dancing on the lawn and in the par- lors; there. was fortune telling, a lemonade well, a fancy stand and refreshments of every kind. Then Company K, ot the Police Re- serves, commanded by Uapt. McUov, gave an almost perfect drillon the lawn. The assem- biage did not break up until the midnight hour. The attendance was sufficientiy large to make the profits considerable... Among the many noticed on the grounds were: Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Filley, Mrs. Frank Filley, Mrs. Chapman, Gus. Hibbard and wite,Jos. Bascom and wife, Mrs. Boles, Miss Lena Powell, the Misses Ilolmes,Grace Richards, Adele Gardner, Miss Gasper, Millie Glover, Mies Gifford, Miss Brown, Miss Baker,] Miss Etna Baker, Miss Fiorence Whitney, Miss Richards, Miss Fredericks, Miss Kemple, Miss Charies, Miss Clapp, and Messrs. ill Chauvenet, Henry Plant, Eliot Jewett, Harry Cabot, Will Hazard, Fiske George, D.

Johnson and Miss Mamie Franciscus, although it was at the same time rather a quiet one. Mr. Johnson is connected with the Simmons Hardware Cona- pany. The bride is the oldest daughter of Mr. ames M. Franciscus, the retired banker, and she has been for several years one of the most popular young ladies in society. The wedding took placeon Wednesday last at 5 p. m., at . the residence of Mr. Franciscus, No. 3200 Lafayette avenue, the Rev. Dr. Berkeley, of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, officiating. The bride was becoming- ly attired in white silk, with the usual floral acornment, and was attended by the following young ladies as bridesmaids: Misses Lulu Fran- ciscus, Katie Wilson and Annie gWade. After the ceremony and the display of wedding presents, which were uncommonly numerous and beantiful, there was a reception lasting about an hour, and then the yeung couple were whirled away to the Union Depot to take the bevening train for Chicago. They will, etorej returning, visit the chief cities and watering places of the East; remainin nearly all summer. On returning, Mr. an Mrs. Jobnson will probably take apartments at the Planters’ House. Among those present at the wedding, besides the family ot Mr. Fran- ciscus and Dr, Berkeley and wife, were: Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Perry Bartholow, Mrs. Thomas Fletcher, Mrs. Tutt, Miss Lena Powell, Mrs. Lockwood, Miss Jennie Lockwood, Miss Annie Sands, Miss Honey, Miss Lottie Berkeley, Eu- ene Miltenberger, James Sands, Wm.

DRY READING. - — -_— The Jones and Grand Jury Bore Dished S up Again To-Day. - = —_— Depositions ofSeveral Parties as to Judge Jones’ Official Conduct. The taking of depositionsin the case of Wil- liam C. Jones, ex-Judge of the Criminal Court, against the majority of the last grand jury, was resumed at Jeff Chandler’s lawoffice, be- fore Notary Wieder, at 11:30 o’clock this morning. Charles Lambert, Deputy Clerk of the Criminal Court, was the first witness called, and testified as follows: I know William C, Jones and James Duffy. James Duffy was never indictedasI know of, but his wife, Margaret Duffy, was. Duffy went Ona great many bonds. Three o1 them were forfeited. Two of Mulford’s in June, 1878; the one in the Funk case was torteited Noyember, 1877. In the case of Joe Funk, a scire facias was issued November 8, 1878, and an execution issud against Duffy the 16th of the same monthand returnedin the following month with costs paid. In the Mulford cases the same course was pursued and execution awarded November 16, 1878, and returned January 6, 1879, with costs paid. The amount of costs paid in the Funk cace was $92 92 including commission. In the Mulford cases the costs were $95 and some odd cents. By Mr. Turner: Mr. Lambert, what disposition was made of the scire facias in the Funk case? A.— From my execution book I find that the case was continued eight terms. Q.—Whose handwriting do those entries appearin? A.—Judge Jones’. Q.—What date was it that Judse Jones left the Criminal Court? A.—On the 9th of Decem- ber, if lremember right. Q.—Had the property when the execution was closed? A.—I do not know; I heard that ithad been. In October term, 1878, the Mul- ford cases came up, with bondsmen as James and Margaret Duffy, and were dismissed. Q.—That was the Jast official act of Judge Jones#A.—I do not know. It was towards the close of the term. None ot the debt, but all of the costs in these cases were collected. The amouat of these bonds forfeited was $3,000. THOMAS P. ESTEP, attorney, was next called and testified under examination bv Mr. Turner asfollows: Iknow Judge Jones and the Bensley brothers; also CharlesMiller,the partner of the Bensley broth- ers. Donot know whether Judge Jones was indebted to those gentlemen. The cases against the Lensleys were dismissed. on payment ot costs, and my client was fined $50. The cases were tiied before Charles F.

The Two Josies. Josie Kramer, a gushing old widow, and her black-eyed daughter, Joe, are whiling the happy hours away in the crib. Tilla late hour last nightthey @welt in the house No. 1426 Poplar street. Ifyou ask them to-day why they made this very sudden move, they will tell you that wicked Eva Potter is the cause of all the trouble. If you ask Eva she will tell you that the interior of the crib is too good for the Kramer family, and that if they had their just deserts they would be to-day dancing.a double shuffle on a platform made ofair. Evaswears that last night the two Josies paid hera visit. The widow had a carving knife in her good left hand, and told Eva that the day of retribution had at last ar- rived. She further sharpened her weapon and prepared to make mince of my lady Pot- ter. The latter’s lungs are strong, and when she saw the Kramer family’s game _ she yelled so loud and well that one of McDonough’s pets putin an appearance and yanked little Joe, big Joe, carving knife and all into the Conway caravyansary. This morn- ing that champion of woman’s rights or any other rights, John I. Martin, appeared before Judge Jecko, accompanied by both defend- ants. ‘*If it please Honor,’’. said me, °°2 want this case continued until Monday morning. My reason for asking this continuance is to secure wit- nesses who will prove that my clients have been terribly imposed upon in this matter.’’ So touching was his appeal that the continu- ance was granted, and big Joe and little Joe were released on bail. your A Queer Case. Augusta Maguire,a very respectable-looking little woman, appeared in the First District Police Court to-day charged with riotously disturbing the peace. Augusta lives with her good busband in the mansion No.1900 Rudolph street. Mrs. Bennett occupies apartments in the very same mansion. She is the prosecut- ing witness in the case. Whenshe took the witness stand this morning she _ told the following story: ‘‘I was frying beefsteak in my kitchen last night when a nasty little dog came running in and smelling around. rf cbased him out but the little rascal had smelled the beefsteak frying and in less than two min- utes came back and began smelling around again. This was really more than I could put up with, so I grasped him by the nape of the neck and threw him out doors.’’ Now Mrs. Maguire owned the pup and saw him slung out into the alley. She didn’t care who abus- ed her, but the man woman, or 0beast who raised a hand to injure her little dog was worse than a_ busted savings bank cashier ora horse shark. This was her opinion now and this was her opinion, whenthe lady Bennett jerked the pup bald- headed. Perhaps she had called her bad names. Perhaps she had rioutously dis- turbed the peace. ‘‘But had I not good reasons for so doing, vour honor?’’ ‘‘ Augusta, you had not,’’ said the Court, adding, ‘* You will have to pay © and costs for your conduct.’’ How is This Thusly? John P. Evans resides on King’s Highway, between Olive street and Page aveuue. John Girard lives on the corner of Abbott and Foun- tain avenues. If the story of the latter is to be believed John P. is a very high kicker. The Girard man has had Evans arrested for kick- ing a certain gate off its hinges. Mr. Evans is a gentleman of wealth and puts up $200 to answer to the charge on the 13th day of June next. Bully for Briscoe. Wm. Briscoe was arrested by Detectives Rahill and Tucker a few days ago upon a charge of burglary and grand larceny. It was aclear case against him, and it looked as though he would be sent down for a good round term. The eloquence of John I. Mar- tin affected the jury to such an extent that they pondered over a_ verdict all night, and then let Billy off with nine months in the pen. The Sanders Murder Case. Messrs. James J. McBride and Presely N. Jones, attorneys for Joseph Sanders, who was convicted of murder in the second degree by a jury in the Criminal Court, on Thursday last, and sentenced toten years’ a in the penitentiary, appeared before Judge J.augblin to-day and filed a motion for a new trial in the ease. Arguments will be made on Saturday next. Ex eae, Mary vs. Margaretha. Mary Duffy was arrested to-day for giving Margaretha Hatti, of No. 1511 Clark avenue, such a beautiful beltin the jaw. Now, if my lady Duffy was poor, she would be to-day lying in the crib, but as she has money she is let go free until the 10th day of June, when Judge Cady will sit on the case. Nowoting’s Misery. Nenzel Nowoting, of Eleventh and Soulard streets, was arrested to-day on complaint of Joseph Zitko, who charges Wenzel with giv- ing him a beautiful black eye against the will of this affiant, etc. Wenzel gave bail in the sum of $200, toanswer to the charge on the 13th day of June next. Discharged. John Helwig and son were up before Judge Cady to-day, charged with that most won- derful of crimes, assault and battery. The evidence showed that their souls were white, and they were accordingly let go free. Two Years for Mack. The Criminal Court jury in the case of Jobn Mack, charged with burglary, found the defendant guilty and fixed his punishment at two years’ imprisonment inthe Peniten- tiary. ° Na First District Police Court. There were fifty-one cases on the docket in this court to-day. August Magnin, for violating a city ordi- nance, was fined $5. Joseph P. Watson, Pat Dalton, James Butler, John Shea, Henry V. Lucas, Emil Loeman, William Koenig, Hiram Schmitt, Martin Kick, Joseph Wigel, George F. Marshal, Albert Wild, William Burns, John Cloos, Chas. Juengels, George Saab, Mike Shannon, Wm. Wiggenhorn . and were fined the costs for violating -_ ordi- nances and running vehicles without license. A lot of other small cases were some cone- tinued and others dismissed. Herbert Park on Page Avenue. Page avenue, one of the most magnificent drives we have, is crowded towards 5 o'clock every afternoon with numerous turn-outs, in- cluding every variety of vehicle from a family carriage to the horseman’s sulky. The road, as everybody knows, is the boulevard of the city, upon which citizens ride out with their wives and children to have a breath of fresh air and at the same time take a look at the handsome scenery that skirts the drive. Straight along up to Herberc’s Park a steady stream of vehicles rattles along, and beyond thisin the direction of the race grounds the(§ame moving spectacie is present- ed.

That important question of ‘‘where to go’’ for the summer will soon have to be settled, and when it is decided you want to go properly equipped to enjoy the season. Now todo this you first want to layina good supply of Fish- ing Tackle, a good Pocket Flask (well fillea),a nice Air Gun or Air Pistol, a good set of Arche- ry, afew Base Balls and Bats for the boys, a capacsious Lunch Basket and nice little Porta- ble Cook Stove, about the size of a tin cup, and before you buy all these things we want to tell you that you can purchase them for less money at Simmons Hardware Company than any- where else inthe city.

HAPPY HOUSTON. A Golden City in a Garden Land. - — all The Railroad Center of Texas Written Up by a Roaming Correspondent. Special Correspondence ot the Post-Dispatch. Houston, TEX., May 29.—Common opinion has it that Eden is to be found in some Eastern lime, but there must be a mistake, or else the world bas turned completely around ,for a more delightful spot is not to be found on the tace ot this terrestrial sphere than this portion of Texas atthe presenttime. Fairy-land can not 6ur- passitin beauty. Everything in the way ot eatables abounds in profusion, and an epicure of ‘*ye olden school’’ woula sit in a maze betore the delicacies spread for his benefit. The gods ofthe ancients would not be ashamed to partake of this ‘‘feast of fat things’’ which is spread out forthe human family by the boun- tiful hand of the All-Wise Ruler of the uni- verse. One conversant with the history of Texas knows that the central and southwestern por- tions ot the State aboundin especial features ofinterest, asthe field of many a bloody en- gazement in the struggle of its peo- ple for independence, and out i of which. they came with victory inscribed upon their banners. After over ten years of separate nationality this magnificent country becume one of the States, of our great Union, and to-day stands asthe ‘‘Lone Star,’’ whose brightness far exceeds that of the lesser lumin- aries by whichitissurrounded. Onecan never appreciate the magnitude of this State until he has traveled over its broad prairies and table lands. A State whose length is 1,250 miles, and its breadth 1,520 miles. The idea, so studiously cuitivated by such morai (’) sheets as the Globe-Democrat, that Texas is a State where lawlessness reigns supreme,is thorough- ly erroneous. Texas is as well civilized as any other part of the West or Southwest, and life is as safe here as itis considered to be in older States, and as for property itis seldom thata robbery is heard of. The farmer can not but take a greatinterest in the agricultural features of the State, as the soil is exceedingly rich and loamy, and yields crops equal to any of the best farming lands of the West .or Northwest, and far exceeds these in the variety ot its pro- ducts. As regards POLITICS AND RELIGION, they are free to every man, woman or child. There is none of this terrible abuse ot the‘ ‘poor negro’’ which the Northern political bucksters are so busy in peddling out to a gaping pub- lic. In fact, some of the leading citizens of the State wish for allthose much abused nig- gers to come here, and they will not only give them good homes, but will allow them all the rights ofa free-born American citizen. Texas is certainly the Eldorado of the poor man, provided he is willing anc ady to work his own way to prosperity; ar is an indis- putable- fact that more men, . 2.0 were once amongst the poorest, are now among the wealthiest, than in any other one State in the Union. There is nothing so much needed here now as immigration. The State only needs to fill up its immense prairies and develop its untold resources to become the main State of the Union and an empire oOo! its own. Nothing can exceed the agricultural beauties of Central and Southern Texas, The mild win- teis are over by February and the farmer can putin his cetton and corn during that month orin March. For the past ten days the sound of the * ‘reaper’ ’ has made sweet music to the farmer's ears, and he is gathering in his crop of wheat, atatime when further north the anxious farmer is waiting to know whether his crop is to be a success or failure. Your correspondent during his short stay at this central city of Houston noticed sr 4 fine features concerning its business, etc lis is the railroad center of the State, and this, of course, makes it a grand point of distribution for the entire State. A number of the finest wholesale houses in the State make this city their headquarters. W. B. CLEVELAND takes perbapsthe lead inthe wholesale grocery line , selling over $800,000 worth of good; an- nually. His establishment is one of the oldest in the town. He keeps six traveling men on the road, and in connection with the grocery busi- ness doesa very large cotton business, hand- ling from 20,000 to 25,000 bales per season. MILBY AND PORTER will also stand alongside of the former men- tioned firm, they doing a business of over $600,000 per year. They have the finest store in the city, and nota day passes bythat they cdo notadd somewhat to their already heavy ade. This firm also does quite an extensive business in the cotton line. T. W. HOUSE is the pioneer merchant of Houston,and to-day represents more capital than any other house in Central Texas. Mr. H. came here in 1337, and bas watched and helped towards the advancement of Houston from its infancy. He is literally a self-made man, and owes tnat which he now possesses to his own untiring ef- forts. He owns and manages one of the largest whoiesale housesinthe city, and also fas a banking house, of which heis the hgad. His buildings occupy over hal a block and do honor to the city. Mr. House is also largely engaged in agricul- tural pursuits, Owning severa) plantations, some of them devoted especially to the grow- ing of sugar cane. Another prominent wholesale house is that ofthe M’ILHENY Co., a firm well known in “St. ness circles, and which is doing the main business ot this section in the wholesaling of dry goods and notions. They do a business of a half million annually, and trade constantly on the increase. S.J. Mec- Iibeny is atthe nead of the firm, and is an honored citizen of Houston. He does quite an extensive cotton business, handling from 8,00U to 12,000 bales per annuin, Houston, from its position, isa great cotton center, and a largef number ofmen are en- aged in buying and selling this great product. Py ominent among these cotton factors are the firm: of CARGIEL AND CO., GOHLMAN AND HARDE, AND LONGSCOPE AND CO. Cargill handles 10,000 to 15,000 bales per year, besides doing a heavy commission busi- ness. Gohlman handies from 6,000 to 9,000 per season, and Longscope does about an equal amount of business. These three firms do the larger share of the cotton business of Houston. » F. illig does a tiptop business in the furniture line, and carries a magnificent stock. Robert Cobhens is one ot the straightest dealing men llouston bas got, and has the respect and confidence of all who know him. His line is groceries. H. Scherffins does the maih business here in the way offarm machinery’ Mr. 8. can well be put down asthe pioneer merchant in this line, as he was the first man to open an implement house in Texas. He does an excellent busi- ness. The banking interests of Houston are well represented, The NATIONAL EXCHANGE BANK isoneofthe sound firms of the city, Louis busi- doing business on a capital of $100,000 ; surplus $20,- 000. It is a solid firm throughout, and is man- aged by a thoroughly experienced set of busi- ness men. The CITY BANK OF HOUSTON does business on a@ $500,000 capital, andis, of course, the heaviest banking firm in Houston, and we might add in the State. THE HOUSTON SAVINGS BANK is also one of the sound institutions of the city, doing a fine and safe business on a $100,000 capital, $52,000 surplus. One of the features of the town is the office of the SINGER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, C.F. Patton, manager. This is the central and southern office of the State. This branch has in the fieid over 180 canvassers, ana this number is being added tofromtimetotime. Mr. Pat- ton, the manager, has just recently taken charge of the department, he having come from Minnesota, where he for eight years wielded the reins of office for the company. Since January 1 this branch has soldover 1,500 machines, and during the past year over 8,000 have passed through this office. The Singer makes musicin many a prairie home, and is fast becoming an indispensable article of tur- niture, both for use and ornament. Our article would lack completeness were we to miss a mention of one of the finest estab- lishmentsin Texas. We refer to the furniture ware-rooms of é . L. J. LATHAM, which were established here by himin 1838. Mr. L. is another of the pioneer men ot Hous- ton, and has been largely concerned in and identified with all that tended to the welfare of his adopted home. Mr. lL. can boust the largest house in Central Texas, and in fact there is but one other house in the State that will surpass his in sizeor appeint- ments He occupies a large three-story double store. Not only does he make agrand display with furniture, but also carries a stock ot silver ware and fine china goods, that looms up in mag- nificent style. In fact Mr. Latham can say that his store has an appearance of beauty and magnificence unequaied by any other similar house in the city. We have but briefly touched on a few of the prominent interests of the city, and, would space and time permit, could easily double the list. Suffice it for us to say that the city of Houston presents advantages unsurpassed by any other city in the State, and it remains with her citizens to say whether her future advance e- nent shal) be commensurate with her natural facitities tor the drawing of trade within her precincts. To our tellow ‘*vagabonds,’’ commonly dub- bed ‘‘ye gentle drummer,’’ we send greeting, and say to one and all, stop at the HUTCHINS HOUSE whenever your pathway lies Houstonward, and you will never regret it, for not a landlord in the State is more watchful over the welfare of his guests than our triend Ginnuth. Give him a call and you will say with us, ‘‘Itis good for us to have been here.’’ SPIKE. _ RIVERS NUT BOOMING, But Deep Enough for Ordinary Navigation —The Curtis Propeller Incident—The Fast Pittsburg—Clifton a Fast Water-Cutter— Armstrong’s Bulk-Grain Steamer—An Im- mense Raft— Ebaugh’s Maggie P.—Remark- able Mountain Steamers—Local Ripples.

ARMSTRONG’S hull tor Kansas City and St. Louis bulk grain steamer is about to ve launched by Herbert, of Portsmouth, O. THE Dakota reached Bismarck Saturday—s days and 12 hours out from Yankton. This is very fast time, and she’s a 1,00u-ton boat. THE Pittsburg, from St. Louis,passed Cinoin nati yesterday. She runs very well; is, in real- itv, a fast boat, and one of the finest stern- wheelers ever built. THE John Dippold, en route from New Or- jeans for St. Louis, took barges 32 and 36. The latter she left at Columbus to be loaded with old rails. THE Carrier, Capt. Sam. Lewis, is at Yank- ton, or has gone above with cargo. She has run enough to prove that she is one of the best boats yet built for the Missouri. ON gauge 15 feet 10 inches. Upper Missis- sippi talling. Missouri rising. At Pittsburg 3 feet 5 inches yesterday. The Cherokee ought to leave to-day for St. Louis, and the Tatumis probably also on her way bLere. THE New Orleans Times learns that the sale | ot the steamer City of Augusta to H. M. Gas- trell has been consummated. Sheis a fixture in the Natchez and Vicksburg trade, and will run in the fali in connection with the Lucy E. Gastrell. ONLY 60,000 bushels of corn by the barge tow | to New Orleans to-morrow morning, the bal- ance of the cargo being package freight. How- ever, rates by rail to the Kastern seaboard have | been advanced, and this will correspondingly benefit the river route to the ocean. THE Maggie P. will beunder repair here for tyvoweeks. Mr. Lawnin will put a cabin on her and she will be generally repaired and made more attractive by the laying on of paint. The owners have made money with ker and believe | they will accommodate passengers hereafter. She is being renewed from the main deck up. THIS is really worth mentioning or the P.-D. wouldn'treportit. The factthat a ratt tug— the Ben. Mississippi pinevies with the largest raft, it is suid, that ever floated on this great river. It consists of 18 long ‘‘strings,’’ em is reported to be 500 feet in width. On comi » bridges the raftis divided into three or .vour parts, which are passed through separuiciy, and re- united below. THE Cincinnati Gazette says that ‘‘thersxisa smothered hint that Capt. Tom Leati.ers will not commend the new pacxet in Te el Why shouid it be a ‘‘smothered hint? Capt. Leathers certainly is not ashamed of his age,or to let it be known that he believes it his duty at his time of life, as he is quite an aged man, to retire upon his fortune, to a quiet and rest- ful life, and thereby give some younger man an opportunity to earn a living. Thereis an immense amount of greed and avarice dis- played by the old men of the present day. We have even known a Wealthy owner permit him- self to be carried aboard, almost helpless, in order to saye the salary of a hirea master. THESE are extracts trom Ed. J. Howard's let- ters to Jas. Curtis & Co., St. Louis, dated in February and March, 1878,in relation to a new propeller: ‘‘I would be pleased to tiy your wheel. Ihave a good opportunity to giveita practical test. If you send the wheel I will do alilcanto mrkeitrun successfully.’’ ‘‘I will take all pains to have the wheels put on by skilled persons, and make every endeavor to have the wor k done right and make the wheels a success.’’ Curtis sent the wheels to Howard's shipyard, at Jeffersonville, and hearing noth- ing tora long time in regard to this tri: il, he went over Finding tnem stowed away among a lot of rubbish, and that they never had been tested, he sh ipped them back to St. Louis. Curtis bas never learned why Howard didn’t test his wheel or his partneris still short several hundred dollars in the transaction.

Base Ball. Lovers of the national game in St. Louis ill be pleased to learn that the Brown Stock- ng Base Ball Club, whose sudden demise was rded in the eolumns of this paper a few eeks ago, has been reorganized, and will gain appear on the green diamond and do attle for the only large city in the Union at does not rejoice in the possession a professional or semi-professional base yaliciub. The gentleman who has playeda one hand in the reorganizing of this team is uperintendent Solari, of the Grand Avenue ase Ball Park. He imagines that with the ne ground which is at his disposal, as well as a long experience at managing ama- teur clubs, he can pilot the new team on to victory and financial success. All lovers of the national game will undoubtedly wish Mr. Solari well in this his new undertaking. He bas expressed his determination to furnish good _ sport throughout the season to his many patrons, and, if the publi¢ fulfill their share of the con- tract, will see toitthat the new Browns are furnished with foemen worthy of their steel. There will be no breaking up this time after two or three weeks’ play for the reason that the ten men who are to make up the club have signed contracts to play under his man- agement throughout the season. ‘To-morrow afternoon, weather permitting, the new team will appear m new uniforms on the zreen diamond at the Grand Avenue Park and meet the Lyons Club, one of the strongest amateur organizations in the West. The new team will be played as fol- lows: McGinnis, pitcher; Decker, catcher; Bowles, first base; Pearce, second base; Mor- gan, third base; Lancaster, short stop;Cuthbert, center field; Cunningham, left field; Schenck, right field, and Williams, substitute. It is needless to speak of the individual strength above players, as all are thoroughly THE CHAMPIONSHIP. The race fer the championship has under- gone no change worth speaking of since the close of last week. The silk-hosed gentry from the Sucker village continue add- while Harry Wright’s although playing on their have failed to out- play the Suckers. The Syracuse team have also laid out the Cincinnati club. placing that champion team, organization still lower in the’ estima- tion of those who took so much stock in them at the opening ofthe season.

The proposed International billiard match for $2,000, between Slosson and Vignaux, of Paris, is off, they not being able to agree to terms. Basc balls are covered with horse-hide, but the inexperienced man who catches one is al- ways ready to take oath that it is covered with bee-stingers.

The Hussars, of Augusta, Ga., have fre- quent contests in pistol shooting while riding at full speed.

The race is ‘‘on time;’’ that is, each boat starts after the other, the crew making the fzstest time to be declared the victor. The boats will leave the starting poiut two minutes apxrt. The start will be made at 3o'’clock. The St. Louis Club will enter two boats, the Mogocs one, the Mississippi one, the Marine one, and the Westerns two. The race will without doubt be a walk-over for the St. Louis boys, as three of the Western men haye been sick. Tne Modoc crew is making a fast one, and although new men, they will make it hot work for the winners. BOATING NOTES. The new club,the Missouris, have purchased the St. Louis four-oared out-rigger Magnolia. Tom Hillika, the stroke of the Westerns, says as he is the only healthy man in the crew, he will pull, if he must do it all himself. The St. Louis’ new barge 1s a real beauty, but by some miscalculation in the measurement it was built for six oars instead of eight, as in- tended. The levee was black with people last Sun- day to witness the skiff race, an actual count of seventeen being made from Chouteau ave- nue to the bridge. The Western Club have been very unfortu- nate with their crew this season. No. 1, the captain of the crew, has been ill with the water-brash, and No. 2and No. 3 have both been prostrated with chifls and fever. The St. Louis will hold a picnic at Bode- mann’s Grove in about three weeks. The at- tractions will be a swimming race, tub racing, running and walking matches, jumping, etc. One of the features will ve an exhibition with the Boyton life-saving suit by Mr. Leo Muller, ex-president of the club. A large attendance should, and undoubtedly will, be on hand. The Modocs have removed tothcir new boat- house, between Spruce and Myrtle, on the Levee. It is the finest boat-house in the West, being 125 feet long and 60 feet wide, their shells and gigs being arranged on shelves on each side. Atthe extreme end is the oar rack, with cars from the best oar- makers in this country, over which is hung a banner inscribed ‘*The Champion Rowers for ’77 and ’78.’’ On the second floor is the dressing and sitting room, furnished in elegant style, where all sporting papers can be found. Their new eight-oared shell has been shipped, and will arrive in about four weeks. With it and the two singles that they are now negotiating for, their club-house will be equal to anyin the country. - — INSURANCE ITEMS, Picked Up in St. Cente Gleaued Elsewhere by Post-Dispatch Reporters.

The secretary of La Confiance has been in St. Louis looking for a general agent. Now won’t La Salle street, Chicago, be sick? Does any company which issues a policy in St. Louis deny the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court? Ifany, fet us hear from that com- Scottish Commer- general agent for a Sandwich Address, with dissolved, tirst | pany.

Undercutters are taking in the business. New York fire insurance demoralization has gone so far that when the companies do not, for want of opportunity,cut each other’s rates, they keep up the. business by cutting their own. The V. IP. of a local company again reasserts that ‘‘this world is awfully given to lying’’— the rate quoted as obtainable on the new water route from New York toSt. Louis being the inspiring text of this suggestive commen- tary. There is still inquiry forthe undiscovered man, armed with a big knife anda long pole, who bas made a ‘‘divided’’ rate on the Cromwell Line from New York to St. Louis— the knife and the pole both doing their fabled execution. The sinking of the Yellowstone near Fort Kehoe involyed our marine agencies for up- wards of $30,000, the Markham Agency hay- ing $14,250, the Pacific Mutual $10.000, the Northwestern of Milwaukee $2,500, the La- fayette of Missouri $2,500. Since the recent ‘‘*experiences’’ Louis in the way of unaccountable and de- structive fires several ofthe leading com- panies have materially re” d their *‘lives.’’ The small companies » carry as much in- surance in a block as some of their big broth- ers. The Insurance Monitor says that the build- ings and stocks burned in the most recent fire in St. Louis ‘ ‘paid a fair rate, and that’s why the high-toned companies were caught.’’ It is safe to say that there are in St. Louis a con- siderable number of companies that will never be ‘‘caught’’ for any such reason. It now appears to be an open question whether, under the new Constitution of Cal- ifornia, insurance companies will find it safe to do business in that State. It is easily possible for legislatures and the sovereign people of commonwealths to over- do the matter of raids on financial corpora- tions. The recent failure of an interior mutual fire insurance company ledto the gobbling ofa handsome line of farm dwellings by an Eaglish company. Anaxagent made a round commis- sion, and the Englishman is satisfied; but the former policy-holders, being afraid of an as- sessment, might well join in singing the well- known verse: ‘*We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear, And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear.’’ The St. Louis correspondent of the Insur- ance Monitor quotes approvingly the follow- ing absurdity published in the Glebe-Demo- crat on the morning after the Gauss, Hunicke & Co. fire: ‘*The five story building in which it originated was burnt from cellar to roof within twenty minutes, and the two adjoin- ing buildings shared a like fate in the next half hour. The flimsiness and inflammabili- ity of the materials composing the floors, furniture and roof had much to do with the rapid spread of the flames. If special efforts to secure material fora first-class fire had been made, they could not have been more successfully applied than in the construction and arrangement of most of the large buildings that have burned in St. Louis within the past four months.’’ If these buildings and their contents were not good subjects for insurance, then no modern buildings with the usual conveniences and appointments for business are insurable. The correspondent adds: These es tally" cove buildings were. in- th in St. deed, the **‘ ’? coveted by ev company city, and, in spite of their tis asafe wager that not one of ) been rejected, at a fair rate, by the most cautious underwriters in this ibe Manion | ——_ => | love | | ard Offices and | ge +6 / of ; PENCIL AND PALETTE. Local Art Items and Foreign JAjs- thetics. i, —" The St. Leouls Sketch Club and Its Doings. —— eee Local Art Notes. The Sketch Club held its: last meeting of the season at the permanent quarters on Olive street on Wednesday night, and transacted some important business. especially that of vollecting dues and settling bills so as to go scot-free with a clean record for the summer. Samuel M. Dodd, Chas. J. Osborne and John M. Holmes wereelected privileged members of the club, and some propositions for new members were received. The committee ona choice of subject to fill a portfolio to be sold for the benefit of the treasury ofthe club reported several themes which were more or less popular and prolific. A ballot was taken and the result was that ‘*Midsummer Night’s Dream’’ received a majority of votes. The members are expected to produce these sketches at the first meeting in October, when they will be placed in a handsome portfolio and offered to the highest bidder. A good round sum has already been promised for the set. ° Mr. Meeker tendered to the club an invita- tion, from Hon. Thos. Allen, to take an ex- cursion down the Iron Mountain Road, as far as Arcadia Valley, and make sketches in that lovely region. It was unanimously ac- cepted, and the time for the excursion set at the 15th of June. Mr. James A. Yeatman presented an invita- tion from Mrs. Beverly Allen for the club to visit her residence on Tuesday evening next, which was accepted. ‘‘Rip Van Winkle’’ will be illustrated for the occasion—the artists do- ing the work on glass slides so that they can be exhibited bv means of a stereopticon. On Thursday night the club was entertained at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. B. G. Allen, on Compton Hill. , Mr. J. R. Meeker had selected Longfellow’s ‘*‘Evangeline’’ for the theme of the evening, and the display of sketches was the richest and most meritorious of allthe sets which have been produced. Many of them would bear transferring at once to frames, and would pass muster as finished pictures. The members of the club repre- serted were E. J. Biddle, Russell Riley, Hal- sey Ives, W. H. Howe, Geo. Snell, Paul Harney, H. H. Bollman, Gus. Thomas, Will. Eames, Will. Schuyler, P. Bergerton, How- Kretschmar, Carl Gutherz, John Fry, A. B. Green, J. KR. Meeker, E. Monnier, Cassilly Adams, J. Ruckstuhl, J. M. Tracy, and Miss Sylvester, who was represented by two of her humorous sketches. Quite a large number of ladies and gentlemen asseinbled to greet the artists aud amatcurs of the club, and examine the sketches, and the reception was of the most pleasant character. Mr. Will Pommer favored them with some artistic interpretations on the piano, Miss Newington sang one or two eharming ballads, and the Sketch Club Quartet gave a com- position, written for the occasion by Mr. Pommer. Mr. Gus. Thomas, the dramatic genius of the club, gave two of his inimitable personations, which set the party in a roar. The round, full moon appeared above the distant tree tops, close upon the stroke of nine, and, casting long shadows across the lawn, added romance to the occa- sion. At about midnight the party dispersed, all concurring in the opinion that the evening had been a most enjoyable one and that the Sketch Club had wound up its scasonina charming manner. Good Pictures. The following 1s fromthe London Daily Telegraph: ‘‘In this, the penultimate of our notices of the oil paintings inthe Academy Exhibition of 1879, it will be the gratifying task of the critic to make mention of some of the most strikingly meritorious pictures in the entire assemblage, and which have been purposely reseryed as bonnes bouches inthe artistic banquet Not oneof these works is from an Academic hand, although Mr. Ern- est Parton’s ‘The Waning of the Year’ (¢21) has received, soto speak, the Academic iim- primatur, having been purchased by the President and Council under the terms of the Chaa- trey bequest. Mr. Ernest Parton is an American, and he need net have hesitated to christen his ‘Waning of the Year’ by the more transatlantic name of the ‘Fall.’ Itis an ex- tremely beautiful transcript of sylvan nature, fraugh, with much of the learning of the late J. D. Harding in its tree-drawing, full of at- mosphere and elasticity, brilliant in color and singularily delicate in handling. It is perilous to predicate dogmatically as to the locality of a painter’s sketching ground; andit is only through fear of being told by Mr. Parton that his studies for this picture were made at Stoke Pogis orin Datchet Mead, at Cabham in Kent or at Hayward’s Heath in Sussex, that we do not assume his leafy glade to have been painted from sketches made among the charming scenery of the States of Connecticut or New Hampshire, from which his countryman Hazt [Hart?]} has drawn so many delightful reminiscences. In anv case, any of Mr. YParton’s impressions of the aspect of American landscape in lats spring and early autumn would be highly ac- ceptable to British amateurs. In addition to the States which we have named there is another, Vermont, which calls for pictorial interpretation of the highest kind. The far famed ‘Green Hills’ of the ‘Mountain State’ are apt at the ‘fall’ to assume a kaleidoscopic variety of tints—crimson, scarlet, purple, plum color, saffron, orange, sage and emerald green, and even cobalt blue—and effects of color are thereby produced which might amaze Mr. Birket Foster and astound Mr. Vicat Cole.’’ At the New York Academy. Prof. John F. Weir’s large picture, ‘‘Forg- ing the Shaft,’’ in the Academy exhibition has been incorrectly called a replica. The er- ror, no doubt, arose from the fact that the subject is identical with that of the artist’s picture destroyed by fire in the Derby Gallery, in thiscity. But Prof. Weir, having preserved no memorandums of the latter work, not only restudied the composi - tion but also changed the details, introduced double the number of figures and used new models throughout. In the late Paris Exhibi- tion ‘‘Forging the Shaft’’ was one of the most conspicuous of American paintings. Its theme was distinctively American, and every- body knows that only such themes made an impression upon visitors to the collection sent there from the United States. The scene was inspired by an original in a real foundry; and the actors in it, those lusty, rough and ready workmen who handle the huge shaft, are typical in a fine sense of the subjugation of na- ture by the pioneers of a new land. ‘The elab- orate order of the representation, the accurate portrayal of minutest features, and the appar- ent ease with which the figures, the beams, the chains, stand out in full relief are obvi- ous enough; but the significance of the pic- ture lies in its spirit. Mr. Weir's professional duties at Yale College are too exacting for his friends to expect from him many works on so grand ascale of drawing, and too important to the country for loyers of art to bear them a grudge; his contributions to periodical litera- ture, also, have’ on several occasions made heavy draughts upon his time, yet in *‘Forg- ing the Shaft’’ it seems to us that he has suc- ceeded in surpassing himself.

Meissonier has also turned his hand to sculpture. He 1s modeling a statuette of a mounted trumpeter blowing his instrument. He is painting a reception of grandes dames at a chateau in the time of Louis XIII. The town of Cahors has been munificently presented by the French Government with Eugene Delacroix’s immense canvas, ‘‘The Rebel Angels,’’ which caunot be got, with its frame, into the picture gallery of the Cahors Museum. M. Louis Vidal, the blind sculptor of Paris, is now forty-eight years old, and lost his sight at the age of twenty-one. Many of his crea- tions are original, and in 1861 he received a medal. He has two exquisite wofks now on exhibition at the Paris Salon. William Magrath, one of our best painters, and a prominent member of the National Academy and the Water Color Society, we are sorry to hear,’ will leave shortly for England, probably to stay. His pictures are sure to at- tract much attention in the Royal Academy and water color exhibitions.—[New York Herald. It is told of Meissonier that, after complet- ing his figure of Napoleon in his picture called ‘‘1814, or Retreat from Moscow,’’ he altered the entire uniform, which had been painted inthe open air in winter, to get its true relation to the snow and cold atmosphere, because an old servant of the Emperor, with him in Russia, told the artist that Napoleon wore a uniform of the Chasseurs at the time, instead of that of the Grenadiers, which the artist had represented so carefully. Howard Pyle hasin Harper’s Weekly for the 7th inst. an admirable illustration to the sonnet, ‘‘The Robin’s Vesper.’’ A sweetly pretty girl in directoire costume looks, as she walks at suns¢ct along a woodland path, up at the singer. The face under the pictur- esque bonnet is very expressive. In the same number Messrs. Nast and Pranishnikoff —we beg their pardon mutuaily for associating their names—contrive to make the mem- ory of decoration day as _ artistically un- pleasant as possible. In the oak room of Windsor Castle is a re- markable portrait of Queen Victoria by Baron d’Angeli, to which the attention of those Americans who are fortunate enough to se- cure the favor of an admission to the private apartments is directed. It is tetally unlike Winterhalter’s full length, for it represuts her Majesty exactly as sheis,a **broken-heart- ed widow. It is an example of the realistic school of art. Notaline traced by time or grief has been omitted, yet the Queen prizes it above all the portraits that have been painted of her. She seems to have given the artist the same order that old Cromwell gave to his limner: ‘‘Paintmeaslam.’’ It hangs over the seat habitually occupied by the Queen at luncheon and dinner, thus challenging a dan- gerous, but always s:ccessful comparison with the original, the most admirable female. sov- creign who ever filled the English throne. ——_— WATERING PLACE ECHOES. Good music is promised at Cape May this season. Atlantic City has a free institute for invalid women. Some thirty newly married couples Niagara, trying to pass for vetetans.

Father Walsh, of St. Bridget’s, will celebrate his silver jubilee on Tuesday next, this being the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination tothe priesthood. Father Walsh was ordained by the Most Rev. Archbishop Konrick, in the old Cathedral, with seven other candidates, all of whom were for the diocese of Illinois, on June 10, 1854, and all of whom are now dead except the pastor of St. Bridgets’ and Father Henley, pastor of St. Patrick's church, at Peoria, both of whom have gained great reputation in their respective missions. Father Walsh was first sent to Jefferson City, where he lived for nine years, during which time he built the present Catholic church and pastoral residenee there, and purchase the property on which both are erected, leaving the place without a dollarin debt when he was invited to take charge of 8t. Bridget’s church by the archbishop after the death of the lamented Father Lillis. This wasin No- vember, 1862, and Father Walsh has remained pastor ever sincethen, earning the fove and esteem of his congregation. He also built two other churches, one at California, Moni- teau County, a mission then attached to Jef- ferson City, and the other at Stringtown, a German settlement about eleven miles from the State Capital. Since his advent to St. Louis he paid ai debt of $23,000 on the church and gave the parish a magnificent school, which cost altogether about $40,000, of which amount only $4,000 remains at present unpaid. The school has an attendance of about 700 children, who are taught by the Christian Brothers and the Sisters of St. Joseph, and in addition to this there is a Sunday school having an at- tendance of over 400 children. The celebration Tuesday, which will be a fitting tribute to the deserving pastor of St. Bridget’s, will be of a two-fold character—religious and _ secular. The programme will begin with a solemn high mass at 9 o’clock, with Father Walsh himself as celebrant. Father Smith will make an address, and, after the mass, dinner will be served in St. Bridget’s School hall, at which none but the’clergy will be present. The jadies of the parish will supply dinner. In the evening a reception will be held for the parishioners and the pastor’s friends. Archbishop Kenrick, Bishop Feehan, of Nashville, Tenn., and Bishop Hennessey, of Dubuque, Iowa, have been invited, as have been nearly all of the clergy of the city and diocese, and the gathering will without doubt be a large and memorable one. -— -_- This is what Modjeska says of a sister artist: **There is one woman who will make a won- derful actress.and yet she doesn’t seem to be appreciated bere. I have seen her only once or twice, but have been more favorably impressed with her than with any young actress I have seen for some time.
