The Flyers on the Track at Daybreak. Scenes on the Grounds Around the Grand Stand. Association Purse, January Stakes and Hurdle Race--To-Day’s Programme. Ascot Races---lsonomy Wins the Gold Vase, and Wheel-of-Fortune the Prince of Wales Stakes. Day Dawn at the Race Track. The track at daybreak this morning pre- sented a wonderfully live appearance. Nearly all the good ones who are to go in to-day’s race were out and at work. The liliputian darkeys who officiate 1n the capacity of jockeys and the bevy of horseman who were on hand at this early hour looked decidedly blue, for the sky was filled with threatening clouds and it looked as though the storm king would put in an appearance and spoil the opening day’s sport. By 5 o'clock the weather instead of clearing up grew dar- rain began to fall. This wasa damper sure enough. Lord Murphy, the favorite in to- day’s race for the January stakes, (ood Night, One Dime, Gabriel, Gilmore, Bass, Ella Rowett, Checkmate, Janitor, Florence T., Annie Wheaton, and a host of other horses who were out exercising were led back to their stables, leav- ing the track ina deserted condition. The shower lasted just twenty minutes, and, in- stead of putting a damper onthe day’s pro- ceedings as was expected, brightened things up and laid the dust in fine style. Italso made the air much cooler, and asthe flyers reap- peared onthe track they seemed t> realize this fact by taking in long whiffs of the exhil- arating breeze. It revived the jockeys as well, and they had left their long faces behind, and in their stead wore an unusually happy look. The fresh air brought out the horses en masse. Kimball, Monterey and Crete went FLYING AROUND THE TRACK in a bunch, and the first named seemed to de- light in showing his heels to the latter. Joe Rhodes, the favorite in to-day’s hurdle race, covered the course like a grey- hound, and created a_e very Verdigris, who sell at the same rate as Rhodes, in the hurdle race pools, good form. Ella Rowett and Largentine ap- peared in fine trim, while Bill Stein, a full brother to Voltvrno, showed up in excellent form. THE ABSENCE OF LITTLE RUFFIN was particularly noticeable. He was scratched last night, but for all that may start at the last moment, as he did at Louisville, when, although lame, he won the Tobacco stakes, two heats, in 443-4. Bill Bass, who takes partin this afternoon’s mile and an eighth dash, did some good running this morning. and, though selling away down in the pools, may surprise seme of the know- ing ones. Besides these flvers there appeared Leamington, the great four-mile horse, who went three times around the track at aterrible pace. Buford’s Good Night, in whom the General places so much confidence, Rosella, Janitor, Malacea, Annie Wheaton, Harlan, Essilah, Glenmore, Checkmate, and a host of others, were all out, and hard at work. This per- formance was kept up until about 8 o’elock, at § which hour only Joe Rhodes, Tidal Wave and Annie Wheaton remained Jon the track, the former looking full of mischief and go. At ten o’clock even these horses had withdrawn, and then men set to work GETTING THE COURSE IN CONDITION for the afternoon sport. While the track was deserted the stables became the center of at- traction. Kentcukiansg were in_ the majority, and these gentry from the blue grass regions talked horse — in a manner which wouid make the average St. Louis turfman blush with envy. Men were here who, although dressed in home- spun cloth, have made their names famous throughout the world as breeders of thorough- bred race, horses. All of these seemed well leased with the track, its surroundings, the yeautiful weather and the prospect of a good day’s sport. AT NOON. A beautiful breeze is playing over the Cote Brilliante Track, and the prospect of fine weather and races is almosta foregone con- clusion. Thetrack men are preparing the course for the first race on the programme, the mile and an eighth, with thirteen probable starters. Bill Bass, Glenmore, — Ella Rowett. Essilah, Janitor, Checkmate, Malacca, Garry Owen, Florence Payne, Uncle Dan, Annie Wheaton, Harlem and Kilburn are the flyers entered in this race. In the pools Essilah 1s the favorite, followed bv Bill Bass and Glenmore. If a good start is secured a rattling contest may be looked for. The Scene Before the Races. Special to the Post-Dispatch. Race TRACK, June 10, 2:30 p. m.—The day was as fine as could be wished for. It was the least little bit hot in town, but the prairie breezes along Page ave- nue, and the cool atmosphere that, to use a poetical expression, wooed the grand stand and lingered around the track, made quite a difference between the suburban and city attractions of the weather, and the grounds were as cool asthe drive along the avenue. The grand stand began filling up shortly after two o’clock, and the number of vehicles inthe space sur- rounding the stand commenced to increase at the same time, until, when the first race was started, as announced, both places were quite thronged. The band furnished good music, and this, with the noise of the pool-sellers, the loud talk on the quarter stretch and the spins made by. the crack horses before and races, made the scene a most interesting one. The betting was somewhat lively, and the in@ividual favorites were sup by their backers ina manner that pretty nearly bor- dered on the extravagant. While a a em deal of money passed through the pool-box, a larger amount was exchanged in even some of the fair ladies, who were in their carriages along the southern skirt of the hemselives recklessly in Last Edition ~ THE RACES. ker and more threatening, and at half-past 5 | will be too hot for favorable | impression upon the onlookers.

The Ascot Races. By Cable to Western Associated Press. LONDON, June 10.—On the Ascot heath to- day the race for the Prince of Wales stakes brought out eleven starters. The winner was Wheel of Fortune, the winner of the Oaks at Epsom, with Adventurer second and Rayon d’Or third. ISONOMY SCORES ANOTHER VICTORY. The race for the gold vase given by her Majesty was won by Isonomy, Silvio second and Castlereagh third. RIDOTTO WINS THE ASCOT STAKES. By Cable to Western Associated Press. , LONDON, June 10.—The Ascot stakes were won by Ridotto, Myeenae second and Bay Archer third. Eleven horses started. Track Talk. Opening day. Pool selling is brisk. The weather is lovely. The track is in fine condition. Kimball is a favorite with the stable boys. The voice of Colcraft is heard in the pool- stand. The Jockey Club track is a sort of center of attraction. Himyar and Krupp Gun will run for the Garneau cup to-morrow. Mollie McCarthy will not go in the big four- mile race as was expected. Murphy is here. Not Joe, the comedian, but the noted Kentucky turfman. The hurdles are covered with palm tree limbs, and present a pretty appearaance. The sons and daughters of Enquirer have accomplished much good work this season. Bashi Bazouk is the euphonious title that Grinstead has bestowed on his long-limbed chestnut colt. Jim MeGlauchlin, one of the Louisville jockeys, has a record of having won three races in one day. The rain has laid the dust, and the roads leading to the track are almost free from that obnoxions article. » Harper wants $100,000 for Ten Broeck.

Horsemen claim that, in going over the stiles, Joe can’t be beaten. On Thursdav of this week Lorillard’s fa- | mous Duke of Magenta was to take part in | the contest forthe gold cup in England, but also showed up in | uring the” rivate transactions, and | owing to his not having recovered from his late illness he has been scratched. ‘‘Jim’’ Keene, the millionaire broker of San Francisco and New York, paid $15,000 for Spendthrift. This famous Kentucky three- year-old was beaten in the race for the Withers stakes at Jerome Park, New York, last week; and the knowing ones claimed that he was pulled by his jockey, Evans. The opinion was generally expressed that this oc- currence will make Mr. Keene’s stable very unpopular this vear unless the owner should disavow responsibility for the action of his jockey. Boating. By Cable to Western Associated Press. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, June 10.—Hanlan gave Bright a long start yesterday, and passed him by the time a half mile had been tra- versed. Elliott has tried the boat which he will use in the race. It weighs thirty-one pounds, and has a slide of twenty-three in- ches. The seat hasaplay of fifteen inches. The betting is twelve to five on Hanlan. HIGGINS CHALLENGES BOYD. Higgins has challenged Boyd toa match over the Thames championship course, for £200 a side. NICHOLSON AND PLAISTED.

Courtney has issued a challenge to the win- ner of the Ensenore race on Owasco Lake, that is to come off on the Fourth of July between the Boston negro Johnson and Ripley, to row a handicap race for $500 a side at Silver Lake, near Boston. The race is to take place the latter part of July, and the proceeds are to be given to the widow of a workman of Mr. Courtney, who was recently killed by a blow from a stick of timber. Base Ball.

Archery Clubs in England. {From the ‘‘Witchery of Archery.**) The game of archery is as old as history, but, like everything else connected with long- bow shooting. it was brought to perfection in England during the period between the con- quest and the date of the adoption of fire- arms for the infantry of Great Britain. For, altheugh the great aristocratic societies of toxopholites were kept alive, no sooner had guns supplanted. the bow in the hands of the English yeomanry, than archery began to con- fine itself within the bound set by the wealthy and exclusive. The great butt- fields made for public shooting were gradually abandoned and dismantled, and allthe archery tournaments were confined to the beautifully ornamented arks belonging to the old societies or to the awns prepared at the country seats of gentle- men and nobles who patronized the sport. Some of the prizes offered at the meetings of the several societies having royal and noble atronage are most magnificent, and contests or them have developed a high degree of ac- curacy in shooting. The ‘‘Woodmen of the Forest of Arden,’’ one of the oldest of clubs, has three prizes exclusively for lady members —the first a turquoise gold knot, the second a gold arrow and the third and highest a gold vugle-horn. The Hertfordshire archers offer the lady members a prize of great value and beauty. It is a gold heart adorned with a bow and shaft, set in diamonds. The ‘*Royal Toxopholite Society,’’ under the patronage of the Queen, owns a grand banqueting hall on the old English style, situated inthe midst of beautifully ornamented grounds. * * * The ‘‘Roval Edinburgh.Archers’’ existed as far back as the reign of James I., and still lay claim, by royal carter, to bethe King’s body- guard whenever he comes within five miles of the city. More than a thousand members be- long to this great society, and their public ex- hibitions are on the grandest seale of splendor. W hen they march through Edinburgh ontheir way to their grounds to shoot for their annual prizes, they are led by an officer, bearing a bow of colossal size, from which is suspended the royal purse. Here, There and Everywhere. Peter Panchot, the Buffalo postman, has gone to England. Dan Mace, with his stable of trotters, left Point Breeze for Fleetwood Park, York. About forty of the finest bred carrier pigeons were let loose at Chesson, Pa., fora dicht of 240 miles, the oiher day, but the record of their flight is not given. George Guyon has posted $100 forfeit and chalienged George Parry. the English pedes- tria&, to walk for the O’ Leary seventy-five- hour belt and $500 a side. In a wrestling match with James Noonan at Mozart Hall, Stockton, Cal., recently, Homer Lane of New York was defeated, spraining his ankle after winning his tirst fall. It is reported that Gen. Grant intends add- ing to hisincome by standing his Arabian stal- lions as breeders; $500, it is stated, is the price at which their services will be held. Abe Hicken has been matched to fight Larry Foley for £200a side and the light weight championship of Australia, in July. Foley recently defeated Hicken after a stubborn contest. Hicken is his own backer; while Jem Mace backs Foley. and will train and second him. James R. Keene is said to have offered Mr. J. Hunt Reynolds, of Kentucky, $10,000 for his fast racer Falsetto. Reynolds refused the offer, holding the horse at $15,000. Falsetto istorun in the Belmont Stakes at Jerome Park against Dan Sparling, Harold and Spend- thrift on Thursday. A SILVER JUBILEE. - — — has New Bridget’s, -— ioners. At%o’clock this morning St. silver jubilee of the Rey. Father Walsh, who this day completes his twenty-fifth year in the priesthood. The parish of St. Bridget’s turned out almost en masse to attend the solemn high mass with which the exercises of the day opened. At the parsonage were gathered a number of clerical friends of the, pastor all of them in the hurry of selecting surplices, albs and dal- maticas for the approaching service. The reverend gentlemen were quite. ready to chat, and many a good-humored smile passed around the group, and hearty hand-shaking when some new and well known arrival was announced. At last the party proceeded into the church, where high mass was celebrated by Father Walsh himself. Father Henry, of St. Law- rence O’Toole’s, was deacon. Father Ziegler, of St. Malachi’s, was sub-deacon, and Father Constantine Smith preached the sermon of the day. The sacrifice was performed in the solemn and impressive manner which Fath- er Walsh knows sO well and uses so thoroughly. The music was »erform- ed bythe customary choir, who surpassed themselves in their renditien of the beautiful chants of the church. Father Smith’s ser- mon compared the Bible to a great epie, where the loved of God supplied the inspira- tion and the hallowed tongues of angels sound- ed all the cadences. THE DINNER. Promptly at half-past 12 o’clock the clergy- men repaired to the great hallof St. Bridget’s School-house, where was spread a table groan- ing with good things. The menu included courses of rare and good-tasting deli- cacies, such as only women can arrange and men appreciate. Soups, entrees, side dishes, wines and des- sert were set forth with all the prodigality of old-time Irish hospitality. At the head of the table sat the gentleman in whose honor the feast was spread, the Rev. Father Walsh. than whom a more pious or more popular pastor does not live in St. Louis. Around the long table were his friends and associates, some of them very prominent, and all of them well-known clergymen of the Catholic Church. Among the number were noticed Fathers Henry, P. F. O’Reilly, Brantner, Hammill, E. Hammil, McCaffrey, Wippern, Harty, Gleeson, Daly, O’Leary, Flannigan, Brady, Fenlon, Ruesse, Smyth, Kennedy, Zeigler, Kielty, Hayes, O’ Hallo- ran, Brown, O’Reilly, V. G., Doherty of Kirkwood, Hennessy, Hines, Jones, Demp- sey, Phelan, Weinert. These gentlemen were the especial care of the young ladies of the parish, who saw to it that no glass remained empty, and no plate went uniilled. These demoiselles, who represent the wealth and culture of Stoddard addition, had such a seductive way of inviting to potation and escultation, if there is such a word, that it is a wonder that the couple of reporters who were present ever succeeded in getting uway. Misses Josie Fletcher Charleville, Fortune. Denver, M. and K. Fletcher, Lotttie ana Florence McEnnis, Curran, Kinney, Katie Jones, Clara Jones, B.

HARDER THAN HANGING. derer, Thumped to Death by a Coroner. The Horrible Sequel to the Self-Poisoning in the Deck Yesterday—Criminal Record. By Western Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, June 10,—Edward Parr, the murderer of his daughter, who sank down in the prisoners’ dock yesterday from the ef- fects of poison taken just after a death sen- tence had been pronounced rpon him, died this morning at ten minutes before 6, in the ante-room of the Court-house. Eminent phy- sicians from different colleges were with him all night, but failed to restore him to con- sciousness. All of Parr’s immediate relatives are now in custody, and a rigid investigation will be had, with a view to discovering the manner in which and by whom the poison was conveyed to the prisoner. THUMPING A DYING MAN, By Western Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 10.—A Philadelphia spe- cial says that Parr, the murderer, had, after taking the poison, as given in a previous dis- patch, periods of apparent sensibility, when he would exclaim, ‘*‘God have mercy on me.’”’ From six o’clock lastevening until tea o’clcck this morning Coroner Gilbert treated him to the thumping process, and fora while the dying man was hit and tossed about the room in a lively manner. When the Coroner applied the stomach pump the tube was fvurced into the dying man’s mouth, when he growled out with an oath, **Would you kill me?’’ After that time all efforts to force stimulants or emetics failed, and the physicians gave him up from 2 o’clock. The body was wrapped in a sheet and removed to the prison, where an inquest will be held. A Bad Crowd. By Western Associated lress. BUFFALO, N.

The Krieger Habeas Corpus ase. Atan early hour this morning the little court-room of the Court of Appeals began to fill with a crowd of interested notaries, TIrwyers and reporters, all anxious to know just how much power that mysterious Seing hight a notary hay. At I-30 the court was proclaimed in session with Judges Lewis, Bakewell and Hayden on the bench. Alter disposing of numerous motions ina number of minor cases the petition for a writ of habeas corpus by J. Phil. Krieger, Sr., was reached, and Mr. Farishb read an amended petition, whieh he sub- mitted to the court. Two or three times in his reading he was interrupted by tardy Inwvers, to whom he courteously gave way while he pre- sented their motions, pleas and briefs. Mr. Farish’s doeument was in substance the same as that heretofore gree, which recited the questions to which r. Krieger pleaded personal privilege as a ground for not answering. Mr. Harris read the commitment and the return, and, these preliminaries endea, the argument on the motion be- gan. Mr. Farish’s line of logic was extremely anfavorable both to no- taries and depositions, which he appeared to think equally dangerous and wrong. The other side was ably represented by an array of legal talent. W hen the discussion was finished the Court announced that, as the matter was not a pressing one, it would be bettertetake it under advisement until the next session. No- body dissenting, the case was submitted and a decision may be expected on Tuesday next. East St. Louis.

As ridiculously reckless in its figures as in its general assertions, the Globe-Demo- crat, this morning, has the following: The Post-DISPATCH, in a violent effort to make a little political capital for the Demo- cratic party, declares triumphantiy that the Congressional appropriations for 1878 were $2,000,000 less than the appropriatiens for IS;7. But the P.-D. neglects to state that the appropriations for the fiscal year ending June oO, 1879, were $28,000,000 more than the ap- propriations for 1878. The economy of 1878 evidently resulted in a large deficit which had to be made up by increased expenditure in 187%. The arithmetic man of the Post-DIs- PATCH had better try something else next time. Wedo not know which to admire most, the ignorant impudence or the impudent ignorance of our Republican contemporary. We asserted that the appropriations by a gue or ‘*Confederate”’ Congress were millions of dollars less ian the appropriations of the previous Re- publican Congresses; that for the three years ’76, ’77 and ’78,these ‘‘Confederates”’ country $38,000,000 in the re- duced expenses of the Government. Upon which the Globe-Democrat answers that the Democratic economy for the year 1878 caused a “large deficit’’ and additional appropriation of $28,000,000 for the year "79. saved the There is but one word to characterize this assertion. But though that word is very short, in fa¢t is but one syllable, we are too polite to use it. Unless our esteemed ig- noramus of the third term desires to count the extraordinary appropriation of $26,- 877,200 for arrears of pensions which cer- tainly were no “‘deficit’’ or part of any reg- ular appropriation, it is hard to imagine how even he could commit such a_ blunder. According of the Treasury the appropriations aggregated as follows (we omit the cents) : 1872 (Republican Congress), $166,887,211; 1873 (Republican Congress), $180,328,174; 1874 (Republican Congress), $189,025,793; 1875 (Republican Congress), $184,304,787; 1876 (Democratic Congress), $177,370,627 ; 1877 (Democratic Congress), $154,090,943 ; 1878 (Democratic Congress), $153,544,745; or a difference of thirty-six millions com- pared with the year 1874 alone, or, accept- ing the extravagant appropriations of that year as a basis, an aggregate saving of over cighty millions in three years. Yor the year ending on the 30th-of this moth, the appropriations will exceed those of last year, but still fall greatly behind either the _ ridiculous figure of the Globe-Democrat or the aggregate of any single year’s appropriations by a Re- publican Congress, and almost the entire excess for 1879, or about five millions anda half, are due to the plundering era of Robe- son and the amount of fraudulent con- tracts and claims it left, which the last Dem- ocratic House very foolishly, in our opinion, saw fit to recognize as a necessity of law. te the official tables The appropriations for the year 1880 are estimated by the com- mittees and departments at a little over $160,000,000, showing a reduc- tion of $28,000,000 per annum compared with 1874—the year the first Democratic Congress was elected. Our esteemed but ignorant contemporary is respectfully referred to his figures again. Try again. A SOUTHERN ASS. His name is Morgan. He is United States Senator from Alabama. Of course he was a “brigadier,’’ and is called Gen. Morgan. He isin the habit of writing out essays, the reading of which takes four or five hours, and which are called ‘great’ speeches. But a speech printed in the last issue of the Washington Post sur- | passes in idiocy anything we have yet read as coming from the South. We have no time to-day to comment. We cull some of the most interesting and characteristic parts of the speech. It was delivered at Winchester in dedicating a monument to dead Confederates.

This we only claim for our dead, andthis much we freely concede to those who sleep here side by side with them.’’ ‘*‘Their names are unknown, but they are indeed illustrious men.

Four of the Largest Mines in Santa Fe County. _ ——— “City of the Holy Faith,’’ the Oldest Town in the United States. a —_— Facts Concerning the Territory of New Mexico —Wages—Mexican Settlers, Etc. W.F. M. Arny, which stands in full for William Frederick Milton Arny, inscribed in a thick, round, decisive hand in the Planters’ House book ,caughithe eye of aP.-D.reporter this morning. Governor Arny. as he is generally called, is all the way from Santa Fe, New Mexico, which has been his home for a number of years. Governor Arny is English by birth, having first seen the hght of day in that ‘‘tight little island’’ in 1818. He was appointed Secretary of New Mexico by Lincoln, and from 1861 to 1863 was acting-governor of that terri- tory. Since that time he has again served as secretary and Indian agent. The P.-D. representative waited on the Governor and found him to be a man upon whose shoulders his sixty-six years sat light- ly. Hisface and hands were bronzed and marked by the weather, but he was as hale and hearty as if he had only borne the heat of fifty summers. In dress and general appearance the Gov- ernor looked like a miner. After the preliminary greeting Gov. Arny was informed of the news-gatherer’s mission, viz.: to glean some facts fconcerning NEW MEXICO. ‘*Well,’’ he answered laughingly, **New Mexico is somewhere between Washington and the Pacific.’’ ‘* What is the object of your visit?’’ ‘*T arrived here this morning about an hour ago, and am on my way to Washington to talk over matters pertaining to schools for Indians in New Mexico. From there I go to Halifax, Nova Seotia, to look up the heirs of the Hide estate, one of whom I am, and who, according toa recent decision of the Lord High Chancellor, are entitled to certain moneys in England.’’ ‘‘What is the population of New Mexico now?’’ queried the P.-D. reporter. ‘*About 100,000,’’ wasthe reply. ‘*There are about 20,000 Americans, 19,000 Indians, and the balance are Mexicans. The Mexicans all speak Spanish, and the various tribes of Indians have each a language of their own. The principal tribe of Indians is the Nava- joes, of whom there are between 9,000 and Then there are the Utahs, who have claiming that the land belonged to them; but that difficulty has been settled by the government. The third tribe of Indians is the Jijicarilla Apaches, or ‘Basket-making’ Apaches. And lastly, the PUEBLOS, OR ‘HOUSE’ INDIANS, who live m_ ~adobe houses’ which have no doors, but which they enter by means of Iladders. Tae Pueblos are a very peculiar tribe and have some curfouscustoms. Their Government is very similar to the Government of the United States. They elect their officers from Goy- ernor down to Constaple annually about Christmas time. A cane is the Governor’s insignia of office. Lincoln made each of the nineteen families of Pueblos a present of a cane mounted with a silver head inscribed with his name. Previously they had canes given them by the Mexican Government. Each Governor turns over the official cane to his successor on retiring. It is the badge of office and transmitted from one Governor to an- other. If any man has a complaint he goes to the Governor with his grievance. The Governor immediately hands his cane to the Constable who seeks out the accused party and touches him with the cane on the shoulder when he must at once appear before the Goy- ernor. Witnesses are summoned in the same manner. There are no fees, no courts and no lawyers. If the Governor’s decision is not satisfactory to both parties all the officials as- semble, a Court of Appeal, as it were, is formed, whose decision is final. The Nava- joes make their own blankets by, hand, and very fine work it is too.’’ Here the Governor exhibited a blanket with its curious workmanship, ‘*Are the Indians peaceably inclined?’’ ‘*Yes, sir. Inever had any difficulty with them. Irelieved Kit Carson at the begianing of the war, and have never carried a weapon about with me. FEED THEM, NOT FIGHT THEM, has been my policy, and it is the true one. The Mexican population is law-abiding, and has a great respect for the officers of the Gov- ernment. ‘‘New Mexico, of course, isa mining country. I ‘have brought with mesome 600 specimens fiom the various mines, which I am taking to the Smithsonian Institute, Wash- ington. The great need of the country is capital. We don’t need labor there. There is plenty of it. We want capital for machinery and for irrigation works. Very little rain falls in New Mexico, and the country and mines are supplied with water by irrigation.’’ ‘What aré the wages paid for labor?’’ ‘*Well, wages are low now. Times are hard. The pay for labor is from 7ic to $3 00 per day, depending, of course, upon the kind.’’ ‘*What are the principal products of the mines?’’ **We get agates, rubies, garnets, turquoise, gold, silver, copper, coal, mica, lead, and various kinds of clay from which the bricks are made for the smelting furnaces. The principal mines are those in Santa Fe county. There are four very important ones. SANTA ROSA, discovered forty years ago by Alvarado, is sit- uated in a small valley surrounded by hills. The inclined shaft is 50 feet deep but mostiy caved in. The lode is six feet wide, strikes north, 23° east and dips 80° northwest. The walls are granite and encase argentiferous galena, zinc blend, iron, copper, etc. This mine has been reopened by a vertical shaft, and the minerals are reduced in a furnace sit- uated upon the Galisteo. The bullion pro- duced averages $120 per ton in silver. THE MINA RUELENA. ‘*Here the lode consists of two layers on the surface, one of which is three feet and the other one foot wide. The incline shaft on this vein is 120 feet deep. THE MINA DEL TIRO is situated on the east side of the Cerrillos, in the Canada de la Miwas. An incline 150 feet and a shaft 100 feet deep connect with theex- tensive montenes or drifts of over 300 feet in length and with many. chambers. All are filled with water. The remains of an old canoe which was used for crossing water in the mine are still there. These excavations were made by Franciscan Friars probably before 1680, and the expense bas been estimated at $100,000. Silver ore is visible in large quantities. THE CERRILLOS, seventeen miles southwest of Santa Fe, con- tain many silver-bearing iodes w have Navajo ht. * he ree eg RE en . = be ens who are now working the mines. The Cetrillos are a series of low undulating hills about six miles long and three miles wide, and consist mostly of granite rocks, a few of them of volcanic origin. From a cone made up of basaltic laya near Martin’s ranch, splendid views of the old and new placer mountains in the southeast, the Bernalilio in the southwest, Santa Fe in the north and the Jemez range in the west are spread before the visitor. **Then in RIO ARRIBA COUNTY there have lately been discovered rich copper, silver, coaland clay mines.’’ ‘*What about the agricultural prospects of the Territory?’’ ‘*Tt is also a fine agricultural country. Corn, wheat, oats, rye and bariey and fruits thrive wonderfully. The climate is also very healthy.’’ ‘‘T have thought,’’ continued the Governor, ‘‘that the negro exodus might be utilized in the mines. Over 100 years ago the Spaniards imported 30,000 negroes to work the mines, but they worked thems to death. Now, of course, things are changed, and if the negroes would come here they would make money.’’ ‘*Can you give me a description of the ‘City of Holy Faith,’ Governor,’’ asked the re- porter. ‘*The City of Santa Fe stands upon both sides of Santa Fe creek, asmall river heading in the lake on the top of the mountain twelve miles to the east and running westerly into the Rio Grande del Norte fourteen miles from the city. Fromitthe fields and gardens in the valley are irrigated for cultivation, the whole volume of water being usually during the irrigating season diverted into the branching acequias or irrigating canals. The city residences and othef build- ings are almost universally of the Mexican style, built of adobes or sun-dried brick, one story high, are warm in winter and cool in summer, and are withal quite comfortable. It has been aptly said that the city, when viewed from either of the fine natural eminences overlooking it, presents the appearance of a large collection of brick kilns. Huge spurs of the Rocky Mountains rise in the immediate vicinity of the northeast, the east and the southeast, and loom in the distance to the northwest, the west and the southwest, a series of low tablelands lying to the north, the whole presenting an interesting landscape. Situated at an elevation of 6,862 feet above the sea level, the climate is very equable and agreeable, the atmosphere very rare and pure, and the salubrity of the place unsurpassed. It enjoys. on this account, a widespread and very enviable reputation. THE POPULATION is now not less than 6,500, Of these fully 5,500 are persons of Spanish and Mexican de- scent, speaking the Spanish language, the balance being mainly Americans and Europe- ans—the whole population being divided con- ventionally into two classes, the ‘‘Mexican’’ or Spanish-speaking and the ‘‘American’’ or English-speaking people, the latter class being composed really of a majority of foreign-born persons, among them a large proportion of Jews. THE PLAZA or public square in the city north of the river, comprising an area of about twe and a half acres, contains enclosed with palimgs inside the streets a beautiful park of trees covering an area of about an acre and a quarter. The trees are mainly cottonwoods—the eight large ones forming the extreme north tier having been set out inthe spring of 1844 by Mariano Martinez, then Governor of New Mexico and the © others In 1863 at the private expense of the citizens. The plaza 1s sur- rounded upon the east, south and west sides with good adobe buildings, the principal mer- cantile and other business houses of the city, and on the north side stands the old Govern- ment ‘Palace,’ cont:ining now the Govern- or’s mansion, the United States Designated Depository, the United States and Territorial Court-rooms, the ar ae the Terri- torial jibrary and the Territorial Attorney- General’s pi ong THE OLDEST CITY IN THE UNITED STATES. ‘*It is contended that Santa Fe is really the oldest-settled town upon the whole territory of the United States. As the city of Mexico of to-day is but the old Aztec pueblo of Tenoch- titlan of Montezuma,so is Santa Fe but the old pueblo of Cicuye otf Coronado. Saint Augus- tine in the State of Florida, settled in 1565, was conceded the distinction of being the oldest until the ac- quisition of New Mexico and its capital, Santa Fe, by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, when the latter of right assumed that rank in virtue of being, when the Spaniards first visited itin or about the year 1542, a populous regulated Indian pueblo or town, one that had been in existence there is no knowing how many decades; or how many centuries.’’ er **How long do you intend remaining in St. Louis, Governor?’’ ‘*‘Well, I leave toemorrow evening for Washington,’’ was the reply.

The following is a copy ofa letter received fromaSt. Louisan who went out to New Mexico: IN CAMP, 20 MILES FROM SANTA FE, N.M., June 3, ’79. Mr. Woodward: We have located for the present at a place called Los Cerrillos. This is the region that Mr. Pomeroy spoke about. It is a new camp, aud has every prospectof becoming as prom- inent as Leadville; in fact, old miners to whom we have spoken say they have never seen its equal. We have located two mines and shall com- mence working them immediately. One of them is an extension of a lode that assayed on the surface 13 oz. silverand 1 1-2%0z. gold. So you see you are liable to hear from us any time. The smelter will be here this month and then the mines will show up what they really are. I must say I never saw such a hospitable set of folks in my life. One gentleman introduced me to Gov. Lew Wallace, who gave us a great deal of information, and personally showed us through the Palace, a building years old and occupied as government headquarters. Ain’t we blooded?

Miss Hacker’s Strange Disappearance and Subsequent Discovery of Her Body. - = An Eccentric Old Lady Who was Found Mur- dered in the Cellar of a London Lodging-House. According to the London Standard of May 21 the police have traced Matilda Hacker, whose mysterious murder and burial in a London lodging-house cellar was cabled to the World on May 28 last, from the time she occupied apartments in London to the date at which they knew she was last seen alive. What became of her after that remains a mys- tery which several detectives of Scotland Yard are at the present moment doing their utmost to solve. It has been ascer- tained that Miss Hacker was in the habit of going under assumed names, of frequently changing her lodgings and of having letters sent to her with various addresses. In this strange peculiarity lies thechief difficulty in connection with the inquiry in Which the po- lice are engaged. Any connection that there may be between the late Miss Hacker and the remains found in No. 4 Euston square de- pends, therefore, up tothe present, on the two or three articles of wearing apparel found in the cellar, and those areso decayed as to be almost useless for purposes of identifica- tion. The brother of the missing Miss Hack - er remains in London for the pres- ent. He has been long separated from his sisters and knows little or nothing of their private lives. It has been stated that the missing lady’s brother had gone to see the re- mains found in the cellar in Euston square, and that he recognized some of the articies of clothing. Thisis not the case. Up to last evening the brother had not visited the mortu- ary, where the remains and the clothing still lie. Another statement wich has gained pub- licitv, and for which there is no foundation, is that Dr. Davies, of Euston square, who was called into 4 Euston square on the morning of the discovery, and who afterwards made a post-mortem exam- ination, had given it as his opinion that, from the description he received, it was probable that the remains foundin that house were those of the missing Matilda Hacker. Since he gave evidence at the inquest Dr. Davies has not been consulted in any way respecting the-case, and since then he has not been asked to give any further opinion on the matter. No change has been made as to the dav for the resumption of the inquest, and no change is likely to be made. A correspondent of the Standard writes that no trace as yet has been discovered of Miss Hacker after she left her lodgings in Morn- ington Crescent. The landlady states that Miss Hacker’s dress was one of the most fash- ionable kind, and even in the house she wore a bright sash around her waist. she wasinthe habit of walking to Rotten Row. Although sixty-six years of age she was active and invariably in the best of spirits. She lived under an assumed name at Mornington Crescent, but when letters came to the house ad- dressed to Miss Hacker she always opened them. Her hair was of a most luxuriant kind, and when curled inthe morning it re- sembled more the tresses of a girl of sixteen than a lady of sixty-six. She was very secret as to where she had lived, or as to her future plans, and she gave orders that if any one asked for her, by name - description, she be was to be told that was not ut home. Miss Hacker was fond of telling her fortune by ecards and study- ing books relating to the future, just for pas- time, she used tosay. She was ambitious and gaye the landlady the impression that she was wealthy. She hada large strong-box, which the landlady thought containea valuables. she said she was dressed ‘*Mother Shipton’’ bonnet, bound with white satin and decorated with along blue feather. She said she was going first te Canterbury. | then to Ramsgate, Margate, or some other seaside place, and then she should return to her old lodgings. She did not instruct the girl to tell the cabman where to pro- ceed, but when she was in the vehicle she put her head out on the opposite side and gave him his directions, and that was the last the land- lady saw of ber. The servant at Mornington Crescent has viewed the remains and has posi- tively identified the red bodice,the satin skirt, to Miss Hacker. She has no doubton the point. The detectives have again seen this servant and shown her a book—‘*Napoleon’s Book of Fate.’’ The girl has identified this, also, as one which was being constantly used by Miss Hacker in her studies of the future. A Brighton correspondent of the same pa- per says that Miss Hacker was well known in thattown. While living here the sisters were notorious for their eccentricity and were fre- quently involved in legal proceedings. They attired themselves in juvenile fashion and dis- played a profusion of jewelry. Matilda, the younger of the two, was apparently between fifty and sixty years of age, the other being some ten years older. Matildais described as being about five feetthree inches in height, with light complexion, her features being of a masculine cast. She was extremely punetilious as to her general appearance. Herattire usually con- sisted of a blue satin dress, looped up so as to show her high-heeled boots and silk stock- ings, while on her head she wore a brown straw hat with a large white feather. Her hair was worn in an abundance of small ringlets, so that her appearance from the side or baek was thatof a girl of eighteen. There was, however, a slight stoop in her gait. When not crossed she was lady-like in manner, but when she met any opposition she gave way to violent abuse. She was well-known to the police, whose assistance she often sought. Once she was ordered to leave Hlove Police- Office in consequence of abusing the officials. She was in the habit of attending St. Patrick’s Church, Hove, where she was the subject of general notice. On the 18th of November, 1875, an action was brought against Matilda in the Brighton County Court by a gentleman to recover’ the sum of £23 18s for breach of contract. Matil- da, had, it appears, let her house furnished toa Mr. Sandersen for a month, but as at the Y end of a week the furniture was seized in dis- charge of a judgment which Miss Hacker had refused to satisfy, Mr. Sanderson was com- — te leave and to recover the sum he ad received in prepayment. In the course of the hearing it was stated that the defendant was a woman of considerable means, and in her absence Mr. Francis Henry Lascelles, who sat as judge of the Sussex County courts, Rave a verdict against her, at the same time calling attention to a letter from Miss Hacker, which he could not read in court, butin which she described some of the parties concerned as Guy Fawkes, and, in addition, cast reflections upon them. Miss Hacker failed ta satisfy the judgment for 18 guineas and the costs, although it was understood that she had ample means. Onthe 30th of November execution was levied, but the officer found that Miss Hacker had left. There was some difficulty in tracing her whereabouts, and a year had nearly elapsed when, on the 9th of October, 1877, a judgment summons having been issued in August and adjudicated in September, a warrant for committal for four- teen days was granted. There was again a lapse oo some months, dur- ing which . Miss Hacker eluded the vigilance of the _ officers in Lon- don and Guildford, but eventually, on the 4th of May, 1877, was arrested at Canterbury. The bailiff had some trouble with his prisoner, as she was very violent and actually tore up the warrant under which she was taken into custody. The amount then due from her, in- cluding costs, was some £31 odd. After her apprehension she was conveyed to jail, and so far as is at present known she has not been heard of in Brighton. ‘From London Truth, May 29.] I wonder whether the police are correct in their diagnosis that the body found at Euston square is that of a Miss Hacker. Well do I remember the sisters Hacker years ago when they lived at Canterbury, and were known as the Dame John Puppets, or Winship Dolls. They always set the fashions in dress at Can- terbury. In their ideas of social life their notions were, to say the least of them, peculiar. One of the amusements of the Ee was to walk round by their house in Winship street, when the Puppets were to be seen sitti in their dini with the blinds 2 and their feet raised grace- fully up against the mantelpiece. After the death of their father, ey years apo» they had a photograph taken of him in his coffin, each of them standing on either side, with large handkerchiefs 1 4 their te . Regard- less, however, of all ir eceentricities, the were perfectly harmiess. The worst that remember against them was a certain klepto- maniac failing for penny tarts. » room, German Commerce in the Pacific.

A BLACK BOOK. The Records Kept in the Criminal Courts. eS —_— Police Proceedings--Warrants---Arrests—- Four Courts Notes---Local Crime, Sagel’s Scheme. . Louis Sagel, alias Blitz, is in trouble. He found himself hard up afew days ago and puz- zied his brain as to how he could raise the wind. Ho resided at No. 1218 North Tweifth street, and, having a passing acquaintance with William F. Zoellener, a merchant on the corner of Fourteenth and Carr strects, called upon him with a fraudulent note calling for $275 He stated to the gentleman in question that he was sadly in need of $23 and wished an advance of that amount on the note. He was accomodated but Mr. ZoelMener guickly realiged that he nad been defrauded and procured Sagel’s arrest on a charge of obtaining money under false pre- tensee. Sagel will have an examination before Judge Cady on Thursday morning. Nora Downing’s Death. Nothing will be donein the matter of poor Nora Downing’s dvath. Her husband, Patrick Downing, who, it will be remembered, gave her a beating on the 11th of last month, which was shortly followed by her death, was arrested on the 20th of last month at the instigation at Officer Jas. Blackfordand acharge of assault and battery entered up against him.

A Scientific Argument. Thomas McGrath has been arrested by Dep- uty-Marshal Carr ona warrantof assault and battery preferred by Albert Hemberger. The parties, who reside near Jordan's nursery on Francis street,got into an argu meut a few days ago over some botanical question, and ‘pe resu't owas, as neither could agree, blood wasin order. McGrath punched his op- poncnt’s head with avim worthy of a nobier cause and came out victorious in the long run. The defendant gave bond for his appearance on the 14th inst. in the sum of $209. A Lucky Artist. Edward Wright, the artist, was a defendant intwo cases in the Court of Criminal Correc- tion to-day. The plaintiff was Lydia Spencer, who alleged that on the nignt of the 3rd of the present month Wright enticed her to his room, robbed her of $6, and gave her a terrible beating, thereby furnishing her grounds for tw charges; one of petit larceny, and the other of assault and bat- tery. Onanexamination Mr. Wright estab- lished an alibi, and was discharged ou both counts. A Long Sentence. Charles Gardiner pleaded guilty to a charge of petit larceny inthe Court of Criminal Cor- rection this morning, and was sentenced toone pet ee in the Work-house. On ast Friday Gardiner went into the residence of Mrs. A. M. Morrison, at the intersection of Chouteau avenue and the Manchester Koad, and, while there, stole her pocket-book con- taining $16. He was arrested at once and pleaded guilty this morning, as above de- scribed.

Suchitemsas the above na- turally send a meditative mind all astray; but inventiveness in Paris is ever on the wing and never tires. The picturesque styles of the seventeenth eentury are originating quite a new world in the tissue line, for the French copy no fashion without some ‘attention to the exigencies of the century we live in, and send nothing out of their factories or ateliers that has not the stamp of their own period on it. Thus we have ail the Directory modes modi- fied. Few feel that they look like ladies and gentlemen of those days. though in reality we want but a touch more or less to render us ri- diculous. TOILETTES AT GARDEN PARTIES. The following toilettes worn at a garden party given by the Comte and Comtesse de Paris are a fair illustration of the exquisite taste displayed in what was ‘styled the ‘*sumptuary’’ fashion: Princess Zartoriska wore a warm-colored claret, embroidered in — hues, the design being red currants; in er cbaperon were clusters of the fruit in gold, claret and red. wore a robe of gazelle faille, adorned with | reen velvet and silver lilies of the vallev in er headdress; the jeweiry corresponded in pearls on enamel leaves. A beautiful toilette was of other shaded satin and lemon silk, and the hat, a chip of the same color as the satin, trimmed with nasturtiums. Here, too, was seen a bonnet that created no sensation. because it was ad- mirably carried off, but few wearers could at- tempt it. The shape was a ‘*Pamela,’’ shad- ed over the front by a large white feather, having at the foot a pouf of roses. A pretty robe for an elderly lady was a mauve barege, with baaque bodice and tails of silver- gray satin, all ruched with mauve, and the latter frillings were embroidered with silk poppies. The Comtesse de Paris was in mourning, but wore white lace over black, while the Queen of Spain was in white faille, with black lace and white jet embroidery. A number of juve- niles had been invited, for the amusement of whom all sorts of games had been set up in the park. Lunch was served at 5, and there was a concert on the lawn from 6 to 7. The beauty of the grounds round the residence ina the Rue de Varennes can only be compared to this country. where they are made.

One is a cape and hat—the former ties infront. It is made of olive cashmere and ruched all round with white blonde, and the hat worn with it is of white gathered Indian muslin, draped about with olive satin and adorned with a cluster of gilt cowslips in a lappet of blonde. The second idea is a pale pink cashmere loose gown. adorned with fravyed-out garnet ribvon, toim- itate feathers, and the garnet may be of two shades, mixed. The third idea comprehends many others. It is a peach-colored grenadine striped with black velvet. The coat is of peach taffeta, with velvet (black) facings; the hat is | velvet | new knob: | quite to hand. | erest and bear in the center a | It is only embroidered on the corner | hondkercbiefs. and there is not much nov elty | surely in working initials in red on a shield of | sky blue.

Guardian. } Some three years ago a colored boy, four years old, the child of Eliza Spotswood, living on the west side of the Hillsborough River, near Rocky Creek, wandered away from home and was lost. A thorough search was made for several days afterwards, but in vain was the search, and it was finally concluded that the child had been devoured by alligators, un- til last week, while Charley Allen, a colored man, who lives in that settlement, was out cow-hunting, when he zame upon a heard of eattle and discovered a boy follow- ing along among them, with his body covered with hair. So soon as the cattle became awure thatthe hunter was appreaching they broke eff toward a hammock near by, and the wild boy went jumping and leaping along with them. We learn that a party went out en Jast Saturday te look for the child and dis- covered bis tracks in several places, but up tothe writing of this he has not been captur- ed. Itseems almost incredible to believe thata human being could subsist so long in the wild woods without clothes, shelter and food, but Allen says it is the same child.

HAPPY HOURS. Exercises in Various Scholastic Insti- | tutions To-Day. “Class Day” at Mrs. Cuthbert’s Seminary. Examinations at the Academy and Mary Institute. — _-_>-- --——- Preparing for the Annual Vacation in | the Three Schools. The examining and commencement exercises of nearly all the private schools of the city take place this week, and in a few days more girls and boys who have toiled through the long months since last September will enjoy the delights of vacation. The graduating classes will take their honors and go out into the world to take the chanses of fortune. Washington Uuiversity—Mary Institute. There was a public examination of the pri- mary class at Mary Institute this morning, | commencing at 9 o’clock. The class is com- posed of little girls rangingin age from seven toten, and is under the care of Miss Wal- lace, a lady long known in the city as a wost faithful and efficient teacher. In read- ing her report this morning she announced that outof aclassof sixty-two there had been only two who ha@ been tardy during tne entire session. This was surprising, but none the less gratifying, since itindicated a remark- able punctuality onthe part of the very little folks. They are generally children of the wealthier class of citize ns, and their net being tardy shows that the Msry Institute does not allow riches to be a bar to discipline. There were several ladies und gentiemen vi:itors present at the examination, and all were de- lighted with the progress’ indicated. Miss Wallace has certainly been hard at work, for her pupils show the traits of her labor. The recitations and answers were cor- rect in almost every instance.

Donk, the Coal Merchant, Rebbed oe at Centreville of $2,5 A well planned robbery occurred about 10 o’clock this morning at Centrevilic, Ill,, a small town about seven miles from St. Louis and the same distance from Belle- ville. Mr. C. E. Donk, of the coal firm of Donk Brothers, whose yards are situated on Seventeenth street and Clarke avenue. was on his way tothe Donk mines, near Centreville, for the purpose of paying off the miners, when he was set upon by two men who robbed him of $2,500. To reach the mines from the above station it is necessary to pass through a woody, sparsely settied district. As soon as th e robbers secured the booty they hurried off. Mr. Donk proceeded to the nearest telegraph station und notitied Chief McDonough, of St. Louis, and the chiefs of the police of Belleville ; men and Kast St. Louis. According tothe description given the police the men are 5.9 and 5.6 inches in height; the taller worega moustaciie and goatee.

The road is furnished with open summer cars, chair seats, all seats fronting for- ward. The height of the Water Tower is 175 feet from the base, being the high- est Roman Corinthian tower in the world, From the ground, about one hundred yards northeast of the Water Tower, can be had a view ot the Mississippi River for fifteen miles. At Water Tower Heights the ground is One Handred Feet Above the City Directrix, and on account of the great elevation and moisture ab- sorbed by the atmosphere from the wa- ter, the atmosphere of a summer’s eve- ning upon Water Tower Heights is quite similar to that on the shores of Lake Superior. To those who desire fresh, cool air of a summer’s evening, Water Tower Heights is the Finest Suburban Resort around the city.

We do not clearly under- { and what government has to do witirit, : ‘ iT, W fnments which were just and wise, and which represented the best efforts and the best intelligence of the best and most intel- ligent people, but there has never been a government which has been able to change the situation which is epigrammatically stated by Mr. Ingersoll, and if the Eight- Hour League look to the Government to do for them what government has never yet been able to do, they are preparing an in- evitable disappointment. Perhaps, however, the situation is not ac- curately represented by the epigram. It may be true that those who do the least have the most, but they did not get their affluence by doing nothing. The great for- tumes and the small ones of this country and of all countries have been made by the men who were willing to work hard and to fare poorly, to economize and to save and to plan and to wait; by men who trusted to their own sobriety, economy and intelli- gence for their advancement instead of call- ing on the Government, or invoking the aid of windy blatherskites, or trying to pull down the prosperity of those who had pre- ceded them in the successful path of intel- ligent labor. In this there is nothing wrong, and if the condition of the world is not all that is desired, it is not likely to be im- proved by the efforts of the men who ap- peal to eight-hour laws. If anything is wanted it is that the workingmeh should cease calling on the Government, like the foolish carter who called on Jupiter in the fable, but should turn to work manfully at such work as they can find, should spend no more money than they can earn, should breed no more children than they can sup- port, drink no more liquor than they have need of, and we are sure that the hours of labor and the wages will right themselves more speedily than can be done by any gov- ernmental intervention. —— THE INDIAN TERRITORY. The Editorial Association of Arkansas adopted an address upon the subject of the Indian Territory, which puts the question so clearly and concisely that it deserves to be reproduced: Lying along our entire western border is a country of great beauty and fertility. It ought to be the home of thousands of happy families, the site of growing and busy cities, the thea- ter of intellectual and material progress. In- stead it stands as the barrier of progress and monument of governmental folly. Fugitives and lawless men have crossed the borders to the injury of the Indians and reproach of the | whites. Where they have beenin contact with | the best of the whites the relation has been pleasant and profitable. This is striking- ly illustrated by the result. of actions of Secretary Schurz in Avcu: 1877, based upen law and treaties °") people of Oklahoma to emp!- bor.

Thousands of square miles of as good farm- ing land as the sun shines upon lie idle. Tt would be an interesting experiment to reseue a portion of this magnificent domain from the tribes which have noneed of it, and set it apart for eolored colonization. Only the more enterprising and industrious blacks would be likely to gothere. They might not build up highly civilized communities, but they would be certain to make a much better use of the country than do the Choctaws, Chickasaws and Comanches. The negro wili work; the Indian will not, un- less the only alternative is starvation. In the Territory the blacks could raise the crops to which they are accustomed—cotton and corn; and, relieved from the hand of proscription and injustice under which they labor in the Southern States, they could ina few years show whatare the capacities of their race when it has afair chance. In any case, we should correct the manifest injustice of re- serving for afew thousand savages a region nearly twice as large as the State of Ohio, While shutting out the patient, industrious, loyal negro from the only Territory suitable for him to emigrate to.

An unusually warm summer is predicted by Prof. Piazzi Smyth, the Astronomer Royal for Scotland. He bases his predictions on the records of the temperature at Edinburgh dur- ing the last forty years by the earththermome- ters at the observatory of that city. These observations show, he says, a great heat wave comes from without, presumably from the sun, about every eleven years; and it appears that the next heat wave of like nature may be expected during the summer and autumn of this year. He is of the opinion that several of the coming seasons will be glowingly hot and the following winters exceptionally mild. Present indications would most assuredly bear out the assertions of the Scotch astrono- mer,and make him a bigger man than our own Tice. June has but fairly set in, and yet the thermometer is ranging up among the nine- ties, where it stood during the long-to-be- remembered heated term of last season, when strong men reeled and fell under the dread silent sun-rays on every hand. Modern science traces to the sun almost if not quite the entire range of terrestrial activity. When our globe becomes sick and feverish, as it were, itisthe fashion of speculative physi- cists to attribute the abnormal manifestations to the influence of the large planets in certain portions of their orbits. THE RELATION OF SUN-SPOTS to the magnetic declination and auroral dis- plays was demonstrated long years ago, and their connection with epidemies famines is satisfactorily es- by statistics that cannot be dis- Sun-spots, epidemics, magnetic ions, storms and hyperborean corus- ons hayea e@mmon periodicity of about ii.? years, and as thisis almost exactly the period of Jupiter’s orbit around the sun scientists are disposed to attribute to that ma- ‘ ed sstic plenct ing series of calamities. The dawn of ‘yde periodical visit most assuredly manifested itself last season by the heat and an epidemic in the shape of the yellow scourge, and the present season has Leen inaugurated by the Gryest May im ferty-iive years, a haif- dozen destructive local. sterms and cyclones and a June ofbrazén heat. Speaking mathe matically, heat is generated in the attraction of bodies in the ratio of the ewbe of the diam- eter, while if is transmitted or parted with only in the ratio of the square of the diame- ter. Thislaw of physics furnishes the ex- planation of the generally received opinion that the mammoth plant Jupiter recu! wa , & “still retains far too much heat to furnish an abode for any form of life with which we are acquainted. It is no: exaggeration to state that his great parallel cloud belts, as viewed through the most powerful telescopes, prove him te bein an active condition of bubbling calefaction. These periodical visits of the great planet have always been marked in hu- man annals as freighted with epidemic pestilence. Every twelfth year since 1793 has been particularly marked in this relation, especially in 1867,and pursuing the perihelion record backward, 1773, 1762, 1750, 17388, 1726, 1714, 1702, 1690, 1679, 1667, 1665, 1648, 1631, 1619, 1607, 1596, 1584 and 1587 are found to be BLACK LETTER YEARS on history’s melancholy page. Within a pe- riod of five years four great heavenly bodies will complete their peri- helion circuits, which is more _ conspic- uous when it is taken into account that it will be the first like instance so near together in the history of the world. The next per- ihelion passage of Jupiter will occur next sea- son, there will be a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn the year following, and the following year will occur the commensurate perihelia of Uranus and Neptune. The nearest ap- proach to such an approximation was during the period ef 1708 and 1718—Nep- tune’s last transit, which was the most mortal period of the eighteenthcentury. Time alone can reveal whether the heat wave caused by this transition will plunge’ the earth into a deeper abysm of woe than ever before record- ed, but under the circumstances the analogies of the past must be taken intg consideration. Glancing at the past, Ji@ iter and Saturn made their commensurate perihelia in 1769, and Jupiter’s epochs in this eycle were 1679, 1667, 1655, 16438 and 1631—all well- marked pestilential periods, intensified doubtless by the perihelion of Uranus in 1630, Let Webster describe those periods. And first the ' PERIOD OF 1631: ‘*Of the pestilence of «nis period there was hardly a suspersion. Particular countries enjoyed snort intervals of health, but Btrope and Amefica were severely an- noyed by pestilential diseases between 1632 and 1637.’’ PERIOD OF 1643. **This severe winter of 1642-43 was followed by a very sickly summer on the Delaware Riv- er. Such was the mortality among the settlers fiom New Haven, who had not been long in the country, that it broke up their settlement. * * * In England in 1643 a malignant fever was epidemic and few gscap- ed. In autumn it assumed pestilential symp- toms, with purple spots on the skin.’’ PERIOD OF 1655. ‘¢In 1655 the plague was general in Europe. There died in Riga, 9,000; in Amsterdam, 13,000; in Leyden, 13,000; in Naples, 240,000; in the Neapolitan Territories, 400 ,000; in Benevento, 9,000, out of a population of only 9,500; in Rome 10,000; in Genoa, 10,000. 7? PERIOD OF 1667. * Under Jupiter’s approach of 1667 ‘ ‘occurred the iast great plague in London, in which nearly an eighth of a million of persons were carried off. The plague, it was thought, was imported into England by. goods from Am- sterdam, where 20,000 previously perished.’’ PERIOD OF 1679. This was the commensurate period of Jupi- terand Saturn. The pestilential years con- tinued after Jupiter’s previous perihelion epoch under the approach of Saturn in the same manner as they continued from the Irish famine period of 1856. Says Webster: *‘In 1670-71 small-pox was epidemic in Lon- don; in 1678 catarrhs and spotted fevers, inj)676 small-pox. In 1677 small-pox rf 4 ~ v : 4 5 ~ oO *s malign influences this regularly i } ; ’ j | ; | many wag See . 2 wrath is intensified if Saturn or Uranus 0th be transiting the same apside of their its. hatever dire misfortunes await the inhab- ants of this planet in the future which may é inaugurated with the ‘‘heat-wave’’ of Pro- essor Smyth, the conjunction of Saturn and Mars, and the perihelion of Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune during the next five years, the world oughtat least to be better prepared to meet and wrestle with a calamity of the kind—although last year’s experiences with yellow fever in the South might point to a contrary inference. Drainage, sanitary laws, ventilation, good preparation and all the arts and sciences which make up the comforts of civilized life are a thousandfold advanced since the last synchronous perhelia of these malign planets. The June of the present year, with an average temperature of 89 1-2 degrees so far, clearly points out that a heat \yave of dire malignity has setin. Post-Dis- PATCH reporters have been able to get hoid of a record of the years since 1837, and during ,the intervening period of forty-two years there has neyer been so hot a June, as the following carefully compiled table will show: Another strong precursor of a hot season is A DRY MAY, and the May just closing is the dryest that has been known since 1839, forty years ago. ‘The total rainfall last month, as observed at the Signal Service Station and Washington Uni- versity, was only nine tenths of an inch, while | the average rainfal! of that month isa fraction rv five inches. Sehson Blo a oan exceed- ingry dry Mas to tt! foot scientists attribute the visit and great virulence during that year. Last month was also noted fur scveral hot days, it averaging one of the four sultriest Mays in sixty years, the thermometer attaining thg altituage of ninety-three degrees. It has been an _ observable’ fact, not only in St. Louis, but through- out the entire Mississippi Valley, that an exceedingly dry May is more to be fear- ed than one equally as wet, and all sultry Mays have been followed by an excess of malarial fevers,—strange as it may seem to those who take the stand that malaria is only bred during wet terms. In every disease, but consumption, excessive drought adds to its malignity. The moisture which naturally com- prises a specific, part and portion of the air evaporates under the sun’s rays and leaves the air devoid of life as that expelled from an oven. It is found utterly exhausted and tells on the human system in a no weak manner. Last season’s heated term was ushered in by an average May and June, the rain-fall of the former month being four and seven-tenths inches, but its fatality must not be attributed to else than the climatic influ- ences, superinduced by the near approach of Jupiter’s perihelion circuit. THE DARKSOME DAYS OF TERM numopered but ten, and yet, during that brief period, the mortality of St. Louis was some- thing terrible, aggregating in round numbers 499, 450 of which can be readily traced to the heat wave. The total number of deaths reported from downright sun strokes, not prostrations by the sun, was 154 during those ten days divid- ed as follows from July 10 to July 20: July 10, two fatal cases; July 11, three; July 138, thirteen; July 14, twelve;. July 15, fifty-one; July 16, twenty-two; July 17, twenty-three; July 18, seventeen; July 19, fifteen; July #, six. The 15th was the fatal day, there being forty-one fatal cases on that inst. ves, thousands, were broken during thaAdiread period, and it is no secret that one Lalf of the deaths in tbis city since that “time has been either due to or hasteaed by it. Scientists an. physicians are widely at va- rianee ws to what will be the nature and mor- tality of the present season. The former hold that it will be excessively hot, and that people will drop like leaves before a frost on every hand. On the other hand physicians say that it is an impossibility for two such fatal sea- sons to tread one upon the heels of the other, and these widely adverse opinions are warmly championed by both.

Mrs. Charles Vivian will also appear, and give some recita- tions from her entertainment, ‘‘An Evening with the Poets.’’ . , with some new sketches by Mr. Vivian, will make an immehse bill, and will be sure to draw the largest audience of the season should the weather prove favorable.

Filley Renders Him His Generous Aid, - — — But It is All for Naught, and Babcock’s Witness Goes by the Board. - —_— How Certain Papers Did the Fatal Work in a Jiffy. Readers of the PosT-DISPATCH will remem- ber that Mr. James Magill, letter carrier, was discharged from the Post-office some weeks ago and that in an interview published at the time he expressed great surprise at such an eccurrence and total ignerance of the causes which induced Mr. Hays to subject him to such unceremonious treatment. Mr. Magill was not only a letter carrier of old standing, butin 1875, during the celebrated | Babcock trial, he gained a reputation as a witness for the defendant that far outstripped bis fame asan employe of the Post-oflice. According to Mr. Magill himself, as reported in the interview above referred to, his feat of giving testimony in that celebrated trial proved to be one of the most unfortunate events of his life. From the moment he left the witness stand AN EVIL ATMOSPHERE appeared to surround him and poison the whole current of his life. Enemies sprang up at every step to accuse him of having perjuréd himself; detectives were put on his track to spy out his conduct; old friends lost their re, spect for him and new ones were shy of bestowing their confidence. Even Babcock himself, the man he had sayed from convictiom, disgrace and ruin, gave him the cold shoulder, in fact would not deign to hunt him up and speak a word of approbation. And Mr. Chauncey I. Filley, then Postmas- ter of St. Louis and leader of the Republican hosts of Missouri, politician extraordinary and plenipotentiary for Grant, soon fell out with him and treated him unfeelingly. He was met with ingratitude oa the one hand and suspicion on the other, although he was an honest man and had saved Babcock out of pure love for mankind in general, especially that portion of mankind that happens to be the under dog in a fight. Things went from bad toworse until Magill’s head was cut off and he was retired to private life without a pension. Atthetime of this de- plorable accident of fortune, or piece of base ingratitude onthe partof the Government, Mr. Magill was so completely used up and DUMBFOUNDED that he solemnly declared his intention of making no effort to regain his place or restore himself to the favor of the Ad- ministration. He could have gone _ to Mr. Filley, and had something done, but as he was not on friendly terms with that illus- trious advocate of the Grant ‘*boom’’ he did not care to put himin an embarrassing situa- tion. Of course, Mr. Filley could do some- thing if he were obliged to. The question with Mr. Magill was should he put the screws to Mr. Filley? De ani of not making such lernier ressort. is the of : uuced his use of AS . Magill Mr. ““il- Tév, ex-Postmaster, sets himself down a.d | writes ex-Letter-Carrier Magill avery long epistie full of arguments, reproofs, protesta- (ions, ayoveals and politicai homiiies. ‘here were people in St. Louis at the time who said that Mr. Filley had performed a ¥tat deat of labor over a very little thing, but these people possibly did not understand the case as well as Mr. Filley did. With the long letter to Magill, as published in the Post-DIspatTcaH, THE MAGILL IMBROGLIO ended, so far as the public was aware, but it was far from ended so far as the ex-letter- carrier and the ex-Postmaster were concern- ed. Notwithstanding the statement of Ma- gill that he would let the matter drop and not embarrass Mr. Filley, a. protest against his removal by Postmaster Hays was forwarded to Washington, and there engineered by Mr. Filley.. Now, this may be surprising but itistrue. Mr. Magill did make an effort to get back into the employ of the Government and Mr. Filley did help him. So strong was the pressure brought to bear by the appeal of Mr. Filley that the department ap- pointed a special agent to come to St. Louis and investigate Magill’s discharge. This was done very quietly, but done carefully and well. There is a regulation that no man shall be discharged from the civil service without good and suffi- cient cause. When Mr. Magill went to Mr. Hays the day after he received his notice to quit and asked the cause of his discharge he did not get a very satisfactory reply. so he said at least. There was a suspicion that the main reason was Magill’s conduct in the Bab- cock trial. This has since been pretty well confirmed, but Mr. Magill and Mr. Filley did not appear to think anything of the kind was aproper eause of discharge. Heres where they made a mistake.

He went back to Washington and reported. On the strength of his report the deparjment immedi- ately confirmed thefdischarge of Magill. Here the matter ended officially and Postmaster Hayes was vindicated. There is good reason to believe that a por- tion of the papers concerning Magill which so promptly made up the decision of the Post- office Department special agent re- ferred to the famous testimony in the Babcock trial. The present administra- tion does not appear to be undera pledge to calry out the promises of the one just preceding ; otherwise papers of that kind might not have had any effect. The time may come yet when the plot to acquit Babcock shall be exposed. Would such an interesting event be a boost to the Grant boom? SPANISH-AMERICAN TRADE. Its Gradual Growth and Future Pros- pects. The enterprising Mr. John F. Cahill, Mexi- can Consul for St. Louis, and’ the editor of El Comercio del Valle, has already done much for the encouragement of Spanish-Ameri- can trade, and he is getting ready todo much more. He has never grown weary in the good work, and to him more than any- body else belongs the credit of the progress already made, He is now preparing to get an edition of 40,000 copies of his paper printed in both Spanish and English for distribution in Central America and Mexico. This offers a good opportunity for St. Louis merchants to get themselves properly before the people of these countries. In the last numberof his paper Mr. Cahill speaks as follows concerning the growth of the Spanish-Americantrade: e ofa new trade is slow.
