At last it seems positively settled that St. Louis will have a military display on the 4th of July. The arrangements for the sham battle atfthe Cote Brilliante Race Track are nearly completed and its success assured. The Police Reserves and the Zouaves have al- ready signified their intention to participate, and the National Guard battalion holds a meeting to-morrow, at which it is certainly to be hoped they will decide to take part in the military movements of the‘ ‘glorious Fourth. ’? Every military organization should be willing to do all it can to contribute tothe success of the undertaking. In addition to the sham fight, acavalry tournament has been arranged. Three valuable prizes will be offered, the first being $100 in gold. The rules governing the tour- nament will the same as obtained at the Fair Grounds durivg military week last September. coe Minus Three Fingers.

A COTTON FIRM IN A BAD FIX. Special by Cable to the Post-Dispatch. LIVERPOOL, June 20.—Funke & Co., a Ger- man firm, engaged in the cotton trade, is in- volved by the transactions of a person identi- fied with the firm and who has absconded. Ernest Weber, the absconder, it seems, was a representative of the German branch of the firm. He speculated in the name of the Liv- erpool firm, but without their knowledge or authority, selling futures in cotton heavy at 5 1-2d, one transaction being for 10,000 bales of June and July delivery. One of the principal members of the firm was to arrive in Liverpool Thursday night to investigate the affair. It is uncertain who will suffer the losses, as the principals may be able to repudiate Weber’s transactions. The collapse has depressed the cotton market. MINING TROUBLES.

LONDON, June 20.—The following are addi- tional particulars of the death of the Prince Imperial: The body of the Prince, when found, was lying on its back. There were eighteen assegai stabs in it, two of them pierc- ing the body from the chest to the back, two in the side, and one destroying the right eye. A locket with hair medallions and a reliquary were found around his neck. The face wore a placid expression. He had evidently inef- fectually tried to mount, and, the leather of the flap tearing, he ian along the path to where he was found. Two troopers lay near the body, both assegaied. The Prince was very adventurous. AN OFFICIAL ACCOUNT f says: The Prince, with Lieut. Carey, of the Ninety-eighth Regiment, with six men and one friendly Zulu, left the camp at Kelitze Mountain, seven miles beyond Blood River, on the first inst. , for reconnoissance. The party halted and wunsaddled when ten miles from camp. Just asthe Prince gave an or- der to remounta volley was fired from an ambush in the long grass. Lieutenant Carey and four of the troopers returned to the camp and reported that the Prince and two troop- ers were missing, and from their statements there could be no doubt that the Prinee was killed. A party of the Seven- teenth Lancers, with an ambulance, started on the 2nd inst. to recover the body of the | Prince, which was found and brought in on the same day. . A SPECIAL DISPATCH SAYS: At daybreak a cavalry patrol unde: Gen- eral Marshall left to search for the Prince, and went to the kraal, ten miles further on. The body was discovered among the long grass three hundred yards from the kraal. There was no bullet wound, but seventeen assegai wounds were in the front of the body. The Prince’s clothes had been taken, but around the neck was a chain with a locket. A _ stretcher of lances Was formed and the body borne by Gen. Marshall and Officers Drury, Lowe and Stewart of th: Seventeenth Lancers to meet the ambulance ,b7 which it was then brought hither with pr« per -}-escort. There Was a funeral parade in the af« ternoon, DEEP SORROW PREVAILS throughout the column. The Prince didn mount after the attack, his horse being rest- ive, but ranafoot. The corpse will leave with an escort for transportation homeward. THE NEWS IN LONDON. The news of the death of the Prince reached London at a late hour last night, and at about one this morning it was circulated in the lob- bies of the House of Commons, when in re- ply to inquiries Col. Stanley, Secretary of State for War, read the foregoing official dis- patch, BREAKING THE NEWS TO ERUGENIE. Lord Sydney, an old and tried friend of the Imperial family, has left for Chislehurst to break the news to ex-Empress Eugenie. THE END OF FRENCH IMPERIALISM. London journals, while deeply deploring the Prince’s death, regard it as the end of Imperialism in France. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Another special from South Africa says: The Prince Imperial had been sent forward by the Quartermaster-General to sketch a site for the next camp, when a volley was fired; but not a single Zulu was to be seen, and the party dispersed and sought safety under cover. The Prince was never seen alive again. His horse joined Lieutenant Carey’s party on the road back to camp. HIS SUCCESSOR. Prince Napoleon, who has become the head of the line, is a Democrat in politics, and is distasteful to theentire Bonapartist following. He has two sons, aged seventeen and fifteen years respectively. Party loyalty may fasten around the name of one of these sons, but for a time the imperial counsels must be distract- ed, and the possibility of the return of the empire appears more shadowy than ever. A PRESS OPINION. By Western Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 20.—The Courier des Etats Unis says anent the death of the Prince Imperial that the Bonaparte party may be considered to have gone out of existence. The Regublicans. instead of rejoicing over the dramatic event, which relieves them of the presence of a pretender of no mean calibre, will rather think of the fate of this young man, who probably would have worthily served his country if he had not been the son of Na- poleon ITI. THE LATEST CONCENRNIG THE WAR. By Cable to Western Associated Press. LONDON, June 2.—The following is the latest concerning the warin South Africa: The movement of a party of officers from Col. Wood’s camp to re¢onnoitre was his first step in the new invasion of Zululand. Lord Chelmsford, Commander-m-Chief, and staff will accompany General Newdigate. After the main force shall have pushed forward as far as possible, established an en- trenched camp and secured communications, Col. Wood’s command, with six weeks’ sup- plies, will cut loose from the base, make a dash at the Ulundi, and destroy the five large military kraais there. The plan of operations after] this is unknown. General Crealock will advance from the Lower Tugeéla } simultaneously with General Newdigate and endeavor to push forward a detachment to connect with him at St. Paul’s. POLITICAL.

Both Smith and Erb had used a knife, and with the same in- tent, but there was awonderful difference Smith was young, rather intelligent, well dressed and overcome with poignant grief at his attempt to murder a woman that he claimed to love, while Erb, the brute that he is, was old, ignorant and stinking with filth, repulsive in every lineament of his face, dressed in rags and unmoved by the terrible crime he had committed. Heisalow, heavy-set man, a German by birth, and probably fifty years of age, weath- er-beaten, worn with toil and hard living, and shaking as if with the ague from hard drink. He wore no coat, no hat, a caiico shirt, dirty from two weeks’ use, apair of well-worn pantaloons held up py & huge leather belt, and a _ pair of shoes that had been well baptized in mud. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hair long, shaggy and unkempt. An ideal murderer! An incarnate fiend with the sulphur of the bottomless pit already upon him. **Sit down,’’ said the reporter. And the two took the chairs provided by the Captain—chairs used just for that purpose a hundred times before. ‘*Well, how do you feel this morning?’’ asked the reporter. ‘*Oh, pretty good, liquor I drank.’’ This with an angry shrug of the shoulders, keeping his eyes in a steady gaze into vacant space, never once so much as even taking ajglance at the reporter. He was very nerv- ous and kept his hands and feet moving from side to side constantly with that peculiar twitch so well known to those who have been through the horrors of a terrible debauch. ‘*You have been drinking a little too much, then?’’ **¥oes."? ‘*‘Did you sleep well last night?’’ **No, notmuch.’’ ‘** What was the matter?’’ ‘*Oh, Idon’t know.

Post Mortem Examination of the Mur~ dered Woman. . Coroner Auler reported the following post mortem examination of the murdered woman: Aglae Rosalie Erb, alias Mion, two incised wounds in her back, one in the right side two inches from the median line from the spine, the other one to the left of the meridian line of the spine. The wounds were from the right to the leftand downward. The wound in the right side penetrated between the eighth and tenth ribs. broke the ninth rib, penetrated through the lower lobe of the right tung and came out of, the anterior part of the upper lobe, ofthe lung. The wound on the leftside was made by the knife between the eighth and ninth rib, passed through the left inferio lobe of the left lung, then entered into the heart to the left ventricle, and passed completely through. The knife was propably a butcher knife. The Coroner’s inquest will be held to-mor- row at 10 o’clock. THE MORESI MYSTERY.

Moresi had two pistols and a tong knife, but he never carried the knife, and I don’t believe he carried the pistols. He didnot have any pistel when he was killed. One of Moresi’s revolvers was found in his trunk and the other in his bed. Iwas awakened by the dog barking, but paid no attention toit. The first time 3 saw Moresi was when Campano was bringing him up the steps. Witness excused. The statements of Officers F i Fare and John H. Leonard were taken, but noth- ing was elicited.

These poor brutes, when unclaimed, are allowed to go without food three days. Afterwards they are brutally brained, have their throats cut, The starv- ing process may be a convenient thing for the executioners whose duty it is to enter the pens where these animals are confined, and Whose chief ambition seems to be the at- tainment of a skill that will enable them to slaughter their victims at the rate of fifteen per minute ; but it is absolutely an unneces- sary cruelty to the poor animals, and should serve as a blot upon the names of the offi- cers who have the matter in charge.

Ir is very improbable whether'that model Republican State, Kansas, ever had a rep- resentative in the Senate of the United States who did not buy his seat. There was Pomeroy. There was Caldwell, who spent seventy. thousand dollars and re- signed his seat to escape expulsion. There are the present two Senators. The name of Ingalls conveys its own story of bribery. | The other Senator, Plumb, who at the time was generally supposed to have also pur- chased hig seat, is now implicated in a scandal. By a singular irony of fate, however, the charge is not made by rebels, nor even by Democrats, but by Republi- cans, and the outrage he perpetrated was not against rebels, but a staunch Union man. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican gives the case as follows: The reports of the war claims committee in two Congresses and of the board of survey in 1864 roundly denounce Plumb, then a major in the Union army, for his share in a conspir- acy to browbeat A. L. H. Crenshaw, a Union man of Jackson county, Mo., who dealt in cattle and mules. The conspirators trumped up a charge against Crenshaw and slapped him into jail, where he was bulldozed into giving up considerable of his property. The board of survey style this one of tha mostremarkable conspiracies against a Union man ever known, and Plumb’s apparently undoubted connec- tion with it, unless disproved,evidently ought to send him into retirement with that other Kansas light, *‘‘Subsidy Pom.’’ THE SITUATION IN WASHINGTON. Congress. will adjourn in very few days, and the situation seems to be about this: The Democrats have rather gained lately than lost, both in determination and prestige. The Republicans, theugh still insolent and active, have changed their original po- sition very considerably. The President seems to be conflict "and conscious of the bad uses he tired of the has been put to. Three tween the two contending parties when the extraordinary commenced. The Democrats insisted upon the repeal of three questions formed the issue be- session laws before they would grant any appro- priations : First—That allowing bayonets at the polls. Second—That allowing jail-bird marshals at the polls. Third—That allowing packed the South. To this last measure no opposition was made by Mr. Hayes, though all the Repub- lican leaders in the Senate differ with him. It passed as a separate bill, and it is said that Mr. Hayes will sign it. This leaves but two questions in dispute. juries in The Democrats have not repeated the at- tempt to repeal the bayonet and the mar- shal laws. But they have attached clauses to the army and the payment of any moncy for either soldiers or marshals at the If the President signs these bills the row Will be all over. If polls. he do ait will commence again, and y even worse than it has been. The best private information from Wash- ington leaves no doubt that Mr. Hayes will sign the army bill, with all its restrictions, but may veto the judicial bill on account of the restrictions as to the payment of mar- shals. Congress, héwever, will certainly adjourn. If Mr. Hayes should veto the judicial bill, he will, of course, diately have to call another ex- tra session. But the Democrats seem ee | help to the judicial bills prohibiting | of them were _ street-scrapers, we I would do as much for men working in the | streets as for any one else.” The appeal to the esthetic judgment of the street-scrapers on a question of methods of drawing deserves the attention of East- ern educators who may fondly fancy that + the St. Louis School Board is behind the times. We are quite certain that Boston never thought of this when adopting the Smith system, but it does not follow that an idea is a bad one because Boston has not thought of it. It has at least the merit of novelty and originality; and what is wanted is to know how far it is gone. We know that the drawing question was decided by Mr. Glynn’s street-scrapers. Was the mu- sic question passed upon by a committee of the dog-catchers? Did the Constable’s cow-boys choose our text-books on history? There has been a great deal of investiga- tion by the School Board, but it is evident that there is abundant room for further in- vestigation, and until we know just who are the keepers of the consciences of the School Directors we are deficient of very valuable and interesting information. THE END OF A DYNASTY. A dispatch from Zululand, sad and touching in its brief detail, informs the world of the end of that dynasty estab- lished in France by the greatest monarch of modern times. ‘*The body of the Prince Imperial was discovered in a field of long grass. There were no bullet wounds upon it, but there were seventeen wounds made by assegai thrusts. The body was found stripped and the clothes were taker away.”’ There is nothing in the pages of Tacitus more pathetic than this Commonplace dis- patch sent over the wires as a matter of news; and perhaps there is no event more important to the destinies of the world since the April when the boom of the cannon across the quiet waters of Charleston harbor announced the outbreak of the great rebellion. The world can well afford the tear of pity for the boy so untimely killed, for the heir to the imperial purple, slain and gashed, and stripped by naked savages in a barbar- grief-stricken mother, morning ous war, and for his who once ruled a wider world than France, and held a rarer sway than that of Empress. Her bereavement is the world’s great gain, and the death, which cut off the heir and hope of Bonapartism, brighter prospect for man’s freedom, not alone in opens a France, but all over the world where the struggle of liberty must be carried on until itis ended by the overthrow of monarchy. The death of the Prince Imperial puts an end to Bonapartism at once and forever. The next in succession to tae throne is no cause, but a great obstacle in He is not likely to let another one aspire to the succession. He is the rightful heir, if there can be such a thing as a right- ful heir to Bonapartism, and we thank God for his vices, which prevent him from defil- ing the throne of France. It is well that he the way. is both a fool and a knave, a coward and a | braggart, greedy and sensual and obscene, an insult to decency, and a_ stench in the nostrils of France. Plon-Plon has been tried in every way, and in every way found wanting.

We will not appropriate He | ———————— — - one dollar to pay deputy marshals of elec- | tion.’’ [Applause on Democratic side. ] We shall see. WISDOM IN THE STREETS. If it is not already too late we would re- Mr. Crow, before he completes plan of his art school, to take counsel with the street-scrapers and get their views as quest to the best method of inculcating artistic | |‘under the management of able, determined | and unscrupulous men who have the ad- esthetic cul- We know that the suggestion will received with a smile of derision, and that the nose of scorn will be turned up at these humble patrons of art. Hitherto the only evidence they have given of culture has been in the symmetry and regularity of their little dirt piles ranged equidistant from the curbstone, and few have thought that while they were silently erecting these rude but shapely monuments they were deeply absorbed in the best methods of dif- fusing art knowledge, and educating the art instincts of the public school children. But Mr. Glynn, a gentleman who has been entrusted by his fellow-citizens with the re- sponsibility of administering the funds of the public schools, and directing the course of studies therein, has come to the rescue of these esthetic street-scrapers. Mr. Glynn, with the modesty of true genius, was somewhat diffident of his ability to discriminate between rival methods of drawing. When his temporary necessities, in which men of true genius are invariably involved, led him to request a trifling loan of $5 from an upholder of the Diehl system, Mr. Glynn was understood to favor the Diehl system. When approaching the agent of the Smith system with request for exactly seventeen dollars for thirty days, his convictions were strongly in favor of Smith. Being a just man as well as a modest man, when the hour of voting came, Mr. Glynn was _ tempest- tossed. He could not conscientiously de- cide which system was the best, for he had not repaid the five dollars to the Diehl man and he had not sticceeded in borrowing the seventeen dollars | from the Smith man. With the instinct of truy statesmanship, he knowledge and developing ture. be | France for twenty is dead. There is no longer any serious obstacle to the permanent. establish- ment of a republican government in France. The danger lay “in the compacted and determined power of the Bonapartist party, which in its organi- zation and its methods so strongly resem- bles the Grant party in this country. There is indeed a remarkable parallel between the after throttling years in the name of party which, liberty in | Bonaparte, has threatened it for the past _ ten years, and the party which now threat- the | oe ens free government in this country. Each has the prestige of past success and nation- al services; each is identified with glorious traditions,and each misuses the popular sup- port it has gained thereby. Each party is vantage of knowing what they want, and the further advantage of hesitating at no means to gainit. As long as they had an available figure-head the Bonapartists were the most serious menacé to French liberty. To-day they have no hope, no future. In- stead of being partisans of a dynasty they must become citizens of France; they will give to their country the abilities they once placed at the service of a monarchy, and will strengthen that republicanism which they once opposed. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. Memphis Appeal (Dem.): The Republican press is shedding hypocritical tears over the wrongs of the blacks, but it is perfectly ob- livious as to the ruin and bankruptcy often entailed upon the whites by the dishonesty of the blacks. Denver News (Rep.): A correspondent of the St. Louis Post-DISPATCH suggests Blue Jeans Williains, ot Indiana, as the Democratic nomi- nee for the Presidency. If Williams would only change the color of his breeches from blue to gray the ticket might excite some én- thusiasm among the Brigadiers. Cincinnati Commercial (rab. Rep.): Ewing has the advantage of comparative youth and activity on his side. He has «also intellectual force, and compels men to follow where he leads. It is not forgotten how he took the State Convention of his party in 1876 out of the hands of Frank Hurd an@ other hard-money men. Baltrmore Gazette: General Ewing, John Sherman, Blaine and Don Cameron are all bound together in one beautiful family tie. John Sherman’s brother, William Tecumseh, married Thomas Ewing's sister, and Donald Cameron married a daughter of Judge Sher- man‘ brother of Johnjand Tecump.jMr.Blaine’s mother was a Gillespie and the, Gillespies are related to the Ewings. If these important families form a combination to walk of with all the offices in the country, ordinary ple will be compelled to take back seats. .

It now remains to be seen whether the men ot Ohio can be bought. Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.): It -may be that Mr. -Bayard thinks that he has achieved a personal triumph in -not béing forced to resign thechairmanship of the Fi- nance Committee of the Senate so that the Warner silver bill might be reported back and put upon its passage. It may be that he thinks his wisdom more profound than four-fifths of the men of his party, both in the Senate and out ofit. If thisbeso, Mr. Bayard has much tolearn. By playing a trick, anda shabby one at that, he seeks to thwart the will of the party which he bopes to lead a year from now. New York Tribune (Rep.): The Republican party has good reason to rejoice that the con- test has taken this sbape. Of its ability to de- feat Mr. Ewing and the inflationists and repu- diators,in such fairand open eontest as his nomination promises, there is no room to doubt. In every election thus far, in whicn the Republicans have contended for honest money and public faith, they have curried Ohio, although they have had against them the blind partisanship ofall the hard money Democrats in the State. In the coming strug- gie no Democrat who believes in public faith or honest money can doubt that the financial question is paramount, as Generai Ewing as- serts. Cincinnati Enquirer (Dom.): This vear the Republican party vetoes supplies, and pro- claims that the Democratic partv will ‘‘starve the Government to death.’’ It vetoes an army appropriation bill, and tells the people that the Democratic party is ‘‘revolu- tionary.’’ It insists that it shall be allowed to usethe army at the polls. and shouts that the Democratic party is op- posed to free, untrammeled elections. It uses the vete power to say that the Republican par- ty shall be permitted to draw on the Federal treasury without limit to carry elections, and loudly proclaims that the Democratic party is corrupting ‘the ballot even, appealing to the elections of 1876, with amazing impudence, in support of its indictment! New York World (Dem.): But wise or unwise, sound or unsound, Sena- tor Bayard’s financial views and his financial votes are of record. That he holds them con- scientiously and cannot by any imaginable pressure or seduction be led to abandon the as- sertioifand defense of them so long as he con- scientiously holds them, his whole political career is of record also to attest. Itill became Southern men, at allevents, to suppose that a Senator who had faced an insolent and over- bearing legislative majority, backed by a pas- sionate and excited public opinion, for years, in the detenseofthe rizats of the oppressed and detested Southern people, could be cajoled by the prospect of party promotion or the hope of popular favor into playing fast and loose with such a trust as the chairmanship of the Finance Committee of the Senate of the United States. _— —— The Prince Imperial. Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean Joseph, known as the Prince Imperial, was borninthe Tuai- laries on the 16th day of March, 1856. He was the only child of Napoleon III. and his consort, Eugenie Marie de Montijo, Countess of Teba, who were married on the 29th of January, 1853, so that three years elapsed before the birth of their son and heir, Great attention was bostowed on the education of tie Prince Imperial by his father, and everything wasdone to fit him forthe high position which at onetimeit was thought he would occupy. The Prince wasa youth of delicate frame, but of very winning Hie bore a much greater resem- blance to his mother than to his father. The first time the Prince Imperial came into pub- lic notice was ‘during the Franco-(;erman war. Ile accompanied his fatherto Metz on the out- break of hostilities. At Saarbrucken Prince received what Napoleon, in a grandiloquent dispatch to Eugenie, termed his ‘*baptism of fire.’’ It was the first time thatthe boy, who was then in his fifteenth year, was under fire, and, according to the Emperor’s telegram, old veterans were affect- ed to tears by the boy’s action, which, aftér all, was nothing more than that of a spectator. The dispatch was received with ridicule by the European public. When the wave of German successes set in and the military situation became critical the Emperor provid- ed forthe safety of his-son by sending him in August (1870—only a few weeks after the Saarbrucken affair) to Belgium. After the surrender of Napoleon to the Germans at Sedan, and the flight of Eugenie to England, the Prince subsequently joined his mother in that country, where later the Emperor also came. They resided at Chiselhurst, a few miles from London, at the Camden House. to the artillery acade- my at Woolwich to complete his military education. At the termination of his studies he nassed a highly creditable exam- ination. Fromthis period he resided princi- pally with his mother, visiting occasionally the aristocratic families of England, with whom he was a great favorite. Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales were specially attached to him. Last yearit was rumored that he was about to marry the Princess Thyra of Denmark, and then later the Princess Beatrice of England. His affection for the latter royal lady is said to have been one of the causes of his voyage to Zululand. Political obstacles presented them- selves, and although, itfis stated, the Princess seatrice returned ths young Prince’s passion, no match was arranged. Last February, when the news came to London of the British re- versesin Zululand, the Prince, suffering from disappointed love, resolved to proceedasa yolunteer to the seat of war. He wrote a char- acteristic letter to Rouher, the leader ofthe Imperialists in France, announcing his intention of joining the British forces atthe Cape. In it he said: ‘‘For the last eight years I have been a guest of England. My ed- ucation was completedinan English military school, and I have strengthened my tie of friendship withthe English army by taking part in its annual maneuvers. The war at the Cape having assumed a more serious charac- ter, Ihave wished to follow the campaign. I could not refrain from sharing the dangers and taticues of troops among whom I have so was sent many friends. Moreover, the time spent in witnessing this strug- gle of civilization against barbarism will not be wasted forme.’’ By some this let- ter was looked upon as a political manifesto to the Imperialists, as an acknowledpment that their cause in France was forthe present hope- less, and that all they could do wasto hope and wait. Little was it imagined then that the Prince was starting out to meet his death. On February the 25th of this year heset sail in the steamer Danube, from Southampton, for the Cape, where he was to serve 4s a volunteer. The first news received of the Prince in the fiela was the tidings that he was assegaied or speared to death by Cetywayo’s warriors. His body was recovered.

Where thé Oenter of the New City Will Be. Attention was called, in an article in yester- day’s Post-DISPATCH, to changes that have taken place in the value of property in St. Louis owing to the removal of business cen- ters. It mav be thought unwise by some to publish statements showing heavy deprecis- tion in the value of property, but it must be remembered that such depreciation in any particular locality is fellowed by a cor- respondingg incfease in some other local- ity. It is not a whole city going to decay, but rather anew city being built up on the ruins of an old one. The St. Louis of 1879 must have wider limits and better ac- commodations than the St. Louis of 1860. Otherwise there would be nothing in the phil- osophy of growth. The buildings of the levee and Main street are no longer sufficient for the necessities of trade; they were construct- ed years and years ago when no regard was paid to light and other conveniences: many of them are toppling in the air, half ready to crumble into ruins, and what else could be expected than that merchants should leave them rather than pay fabulous rents, when better quarters for the same orless money could be secured on Fifth street and Washington avenue. THE FIRST MOVE WESTWARD was in 1844, when there was a great rise in the Mississippi. The waters came up and filled the cellars of all the stores on the levee, and the occupants had to seek temporary accommodations on Main street, After the flood had subsided they returned, and the business center re- mained on the levee till about 1856, when there was another flood, the waters this time com- ing up as high asthe second stories of levee business houses. This drove out the merchants again, and they never returned. At onetime Market, between Main and Third, was the fashionable dry goods center of the city, buta fire burned all the buildings on both sides of the street, and Fourth street was then chosen for the retail trade. Ithas remained the center of this branch of business up to the present, but the time will come, no doubt, when it too could be forsaken and given up to other uses. Main street HELD ITS SWAY as the great wholesale mart, of tie city till 1874, when one by dne prominent merchants -bogai:s to move further west. Long before 1875 levee property had begun to depreciate rapidly, and since that date Main street pro- perty has gone as rapidly in the same direc- tios. A building at the nurthwest corner of Main and Locust sold with the ground, in 1873, to R, D. Lancaster and Thos. O’ Reilly, for $65, - 000, and was at that time bringing an annual rental of »7, 500. It now brings whatever can be got forit, and is vacant half the time. The building at the northwest corner of Main and Washington avenue, owned by Geo. W. Kerr, when occupied by the Simmons Hardware Company, brought a rental of $12,000 a year. It does not now bring over $5,000. It is the newest and best building on Main street, and is occupied by the’great saddlery firm of Meyer, Bannerman & Co. A three-story building near the corner of Main and Locust, which brought $3,500 a year up to 1874, is now offered at $600. In 1858 Isaac Walker sold to Mrs. Tyler, owner of the red granite building corner of Fourth and Market, a lot of ground 60 feet front, with an old building. corner of Main and Vine, for $1,890 a foot. This was probably the best sale ever made of Main street property, but the same ground ; | to-day is not worth more than $300 or $400 a After his father’s death the Prince Imperial | foot. In 186 John G. Priest sold a piece of ground onthe west side of Main, between Lo- cust and Vine, for $1,700 a foot, butit could not be sold now for $300 a foot. In 1859, S.V. Papin & Bro. sold to the State Savings Bank a lot on the northwest corner of Main and Vine, for an average of $1,800a foot, but 1t could not be sold to-day for over $500 a foot. It is interesting to know who the people are that have borne such heavy losses. The following are THE OWNERS OF PROPERTY on Main, from Walnut to Market, commencing at Walnut: Wm. Weightman, John P. Meyer and John Gueyer, Dercas Carr, St. Louis Merchaats’ Exchange, Caroline G. Dimmock, Edward J. Gay, German Savings Institution. On the levee, from Market to Walnut, mencing at Walnut: N. L.

From Market to Chestnut on the levee, commencing at Market: Estate of L. V. Bogy, Celeste Nidelet, An- nie Beane, Theresa Puegenet, Emily Crooks, Connecticut Mutual Life, estate of Pelagie Berthold, John N. Temple, Geo. Rippetts, John B. Massa, James Clemens, Jr., and E.

Most of these are wealthy people and have large possesssions in the growing parts of the city, sq that they have un offset to the misfor- tu at have fallen upon Main street and the gevee. i ‘ > : ; 3 ae Pers Py ‘ney, the Kaiser estate oad the St. Louis Sctivol Board have been whe prircipal sufferers. Many of the most valuable buildiags in the vicinity of Fourth and Walnut and Fifth and Walnut. became vacant, their owners in many cases not receiving enough rent on them to pay the taxes. Mr. David Nicholson is now renting . his fife new building © at the ~ northwest © eorner of Kourth and Walnut street, that was erected at acost of $80,000, for about $100 less than enough to pay instirance and taxes. The ‘*Temple,’’ which cost Mr. Nicholson about $150,000, does not bring 2 per cent on the money invested. The St. James Hotel, on Fifth street opposite the Seuthern, sold last year for $40,000 to a gentleman in Philadelphia. It was formerly owned by Capt. Joe Brown and was valued at over $100,000. THE REBUILDING OF THE SOUTHERN has already had a marked effect upon proper- ty in that locality. The building of a $60,000 depot by the Missouri Pacific Railroad at Seventh and Poplar has also made a per- ceptible change in prospective rents and values in the same. neighborhood. With such costly structures as the Southern Hotel and the new Pacific Depot, property south of Market street will undoubtedly advance. But it is easy to detect that the tide of busi- ness tends to that section of the city bounded on the west by Ninth, on the north by Wash- ington avenue, on the east by Fifth, and south by Walnut. This area is geing to be the CENTER OF THE NEW CITY. See the change that five years have wrought in Washington avenue. From Fourth to Eleventh streets two long rows of business palaces rear themselves in proud array to the heavens, and speak in solemn grandeur ofthe triumphs of enterprise and prosperity. The same is true of Fifth from __— the Southern Hotelon the south tothe Union Market on the north. The most valuable property in St. Louis to-day is in the vicinity of Fifth and Olive. The highest price ever paid for a piece of ground in the city was paid by Mr. Stilson Hutchins for the property on the northwest corner of Fifth and Olive. He gavea little over $3,000 per foot for it, and it is now not to be purchased atall, forany reasonable sum, Twenty-five years ago, the whole lot was sold for $15,000. All property from Fifth up to Ninth, and for a block on either side, is held as high or high- er now than inthe flush times of 1868. In fact none of it is in the market. It is probably im- possible to purchase ground for any reason- able sum anywhere in this locality. The new Custom-house and Post-office has had much to do with this change. ANOTHER FACTOR to be considered is the building of the im- mense dry goods house for Wm. Barr & Co., at the northwest corner of Sixth and Olive. It is believed that this marks the hegira of the retail trade from Fourth street. The ground upon which the Barr building is being erected owned by Mrs. Maffitt, and that portion fronting on Olive street is valued at $1,000 a foot, while that fronting on Locust is probably worth $500 or $600 a foot. Any man may count himself fortunate who owns property anywhere in the vicinity of the new Custom-house, for it will be many a day before it will cease to be the great center around which the business of the city will gather. It will be like the Bank of England, in London, in the vicinity of which a lot of ground was sold a few years ago for $20,000 a foot—the highest price on record. - — i PUBLIC OPINION. The Citizens’ Railway Charter. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: By reference to the proceedings of the Citi- zens’ Committee, it will be seen that the gen- tlemen who are interested in street railways. Messrs. Brown and Lionberger,claim that the grant of the Citizens’ Railway does not expire in 1884, Now, inasmuch as the statement was made by other gentlemen to the effect that said grant does expire in 1884, I de- sireto state in a few,words the facts.In 1859 the Citizens’ Railway Co. obtained from tne City Council the privilege of operating its cars over its present route to Grand avenue for the pe- riod of twenty-five years. The company was organized under the General Railway Law, but, not being satisfied with the legality of their organization, it, with other companies, went to the Legislature and got an act passed confirming their organization. This was the famous act of January 16, 1860, section 3 of which gave these companies what they claim as an exclusive privilege to the business of carrying passengers over all streets within three parallel streets. Their organiza- tion was also to exist for twenty-five years. In 1866, finding that they had a good thing and wishing to keep it, they conceived the wise (?) idea of filing new articles of association with the Secretary of State, and in them they extend their existence for fifty years without the least sanction of law. That is to say, this corporation, contrary to law and with no power to do so, legislated themselves into a new lease of life, never deigning to consult the Legislature of .the State of Missouri on the subject in any way whatever. These newar- ticles of associatiou they called their *‘amend- ed articles of association,’’ and they imagined or rather intended to prolong their existence, but they never went to the City Council fora renewal or extension of their grant, although the Constitution of the State prohibited even the Leqislature of the State from giving railway grants in incorporated cities. Still the Citi- zens’ Railway concluded it could give itself a valuable privilege for another twenty-five years by the simple act of filing new articles of association with the Secretary of State. In 1866, after they had filed their new articles of association, they went to the Legislature and got the following section inserted into the Statute of 1865: Sec. 5, Art. II., Chapter 37. ‘*‘All street=or horse railroads that have heretofore been or- ganized under an act to authorize the forma- tion of railroad companies and to regulate the same, approved December 13, 1855, and whose right of way has been assented to by the Common Council of the city in which they are located, be, and the same are hereby, confirmed in all their rights and franchises as set forth in their articies of asso- ciation and amendments to the same, on file in the office of the Secretary of State.’’ This confirmation was in the face of the Con- stitution of 1865, which specially prohibits special legislation, yet these shrewd railroad companies concluded that they could, in the first place, without a legislative proceeding, amend their own articles of association when there was no law for it,and, in the next place, after they had done this sage thing, they could have their illegal act ratified by the Legisla- ture so as to confer special privileges, although the Censtitution forbade it. Unfortunate- ly, perhaps, for them, the Legisla- ture, in the confirmation act, quoted above, said they could be confirmed where the ‘‘rigbt of way has beén assented to by the Common Council of the city wherein located.’’ Leave all other questions aside regarding these mongrel and illegal organisations, and let any one tell me where the Citizens’ Rail- way Company ever acquired the ‘‘right of way,’’ except by ordinance 4440, approved May 6, 1859. That expires May 6, 1884, and it will hardly be contended, even by as astute men as Governor Brown, that under the Constitution of 1865 the Citizens’ Railway could a gto under its t — author- i the ae lanation will satisfy 18 M I think the above exp the public as to the right ‘‘right’’ which the Citizens’ Railwa eae. aie ie Gas a pany case, this y peo e to get possession of what ye he It is a wonderful that weak ules ~~ ‘should strive to rpetuate grant, when itis worth thousands of dollars, one citi- zen should be bear bur- in order that another may be pros : Py oe ee on rim HF / > a DEAD AT 117. “ eX icy Demise of ‘‘Aunt Esther,” the Old- a Woman in the West. . Her Remarkable cas the Slave of Thomas Jefferson. Among the burial permits issued from the Health Department last Wednesday afternoon was one for the interment of Esther Jeffersoa, colored, and aged 117 years. As an authen- ticated ease of i longevity like would be a monument to the salubriousness of St. Louis, a reporter set out last night to examine the Gase. The place of death indicated by the burial certifi- cate was at No. 1319 North Tenth street. After some research the house was found. Its occupants differed somewhat from their neighbors, being more of the old slave type. The women folks’ hair was coarse and long, hanging down in plaits. **Did old Aunt Esther live here?’’ inquired the reporter. **Yes, sah; she lived with me.’’ By this time a large number of the young darkies whose curiosity was excited crowded around to get a square look at that curious- looking animal, a ‘*’porter.’’ ‘‘Had she any _ relatives in this neighborhood?’’ again queried the news- gatherer of a women to all appear- ances not less than forty years ofage. ‘*Yes, sah; she was my grandmother’s aunt.’’ **Do you know her history or can you prove that at her death she was really the age it is said?’’ ‘*Of course, I know her history and can prove THAT SHE WAS I17 YEARS old. Aunt Esther was born in 1762 in ole Richmond, Virginia. When she was grown up and married, President Jefferson bought Un- cle Gilead—he was Aunt Esther’s husband— and Esther. Uncle Gilead was coachman and Aunt Esther cook. Mista Jefferson owned aunt and uncle long ’afore he was President. Aunty often told me how they were going to have a good time the day Mista Jeffer- son died ; but the news came _ to the colored people that he was dead, and the party broke up. After Mr. Jefferson’s death all the slaves and property were sold at auc- tion. Aunt and uncle went to Mr. Austin, who had married into Mr. Jefferson’s family; he brought them to St. Louis, where they were sold to Dr. Hoffman. With him they worked until they bought their freedom. ’’ The reporter gently insinuated that the ma- jority of people would scarcely believe that the old lady was 117 years of age when she died. ‘*Here are the papers to prove that she was that old,’’ said the wo- man,taking a key from the jamb ofa door and opening a trunkthat stood in the corner, from which she took a paper that was in sections as it had been FOLDED YEARS AGO, the line of the fold having been worn out: Crrcuir COURT OF ST. LOUIS, STATE vt. MISSOURI. To all who shall see these presents: Greet- ing. Know youthat Esther Jefferson, a ne- gress, sixty-nine years of age, five feet one inch in height, with small eyes. broad mouth, a few of her teeth out, with asmall scar” on the inner side of her left wrist caused by a burn, by oecupation a servant and seamstress, has this, the seven- teench day of September, in tne year of our Lord eighteen hundred and thirty-one, pro- duced satisfactory evidence before the Circuit Court that she is of aclass of free negroes and mulattoes who are author- ized by law to be licensed by said court to reside within the State of Missouri, and to support herself by lawful means. These, therefore, are to authorize Esther Jefferson to live in the State of Missouri as long as of good behavior, and no longer. In witness whereof, I, Henry Chouteau, Clerk of the C ircuit Court, set my seal, the seventeenth day of September, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and thirty-one. HENRY CHOUTEAC, There was also a paper licensing Gilead Jef- ferson to reside in the State of Missouri. Gil- ead died afew years after he arrived in St. Louis. Esther had been a RESIDENT OF THE ALLEY between Tenth and Eleventh streets and Cass avenue and O’Fallon street for the last eleven years. Her dictations were gospel to the young darkies of the vicinity. The powers that she possessed up to a comparatively short time before her death were little less than wonderful. Two years ago she was able to thread a cambric needle with ease. When preparing a meal she was at home. She would dona clean dress and white apron, put on her cap, which cov- ered but a few gray hairs, and get around the house so gracefully that a stranger would wager his life that she was not far past fifty years. A crutch or cane, suuff or tobacco, she despised, and never used either the one or the other. Some years ago she almost entirely lost her hearing, so that it was tiresome to speak to her; but in her last illness, which com- menced five weeks previous to her death, it returned, and she experienced no difficulty in carrying on a conversation in a moderate tone. Esther Jefferson is really the first authenti- cated case of longevity in St. Louis. Such an instance of long life as this, after a residence of eleven years in one of the mostthickly pop- | ulated alleys of the city, is an undeniable ev- idence of the healthfulness of the Future Great. a MORNING NEWS CONDENSED.

It was to be me petticoat pure and simple—not even aman to take round thetray. The fifty accepted to woman; such a thing was not to be missed. . The card, I forgot to say, was ust as original as the party—a daintily-print- ed little missive with an engraving of a china teapot inthe corner. They were to goat 4, they were to come away at 7; and what might not happen in the mean time with fifty women all shut up togetherin a Paris drawing-room? There was a good deal of speculation about it. They would quarrel, for sure; they would never dress for one another, but go ‘‘dowdy.’’ Why should they, when there were no men to see their ee! clothes ? It would end in ennui, f it did not end in a shindy. There were a few loafers from the neighbor- ing ‘‘New’’ toseethem arrive. It is but a stone’s throw from the Rue de Morny; and, besides, you might take the house on your Way tothe club, so there was your excuse. It really did look like a mild event of the day, the narrow street crowded with carriages set- ting down, and an awning before the door to show the coachmen their mark. There was plush in the gateway, where there was rough work to be done in Keeping the carriages in line; but beyond that it was not to be found. ‘The service in the rooms up stairs was done entirely by maids. There was no chance, then, of getting in even asa lacquey, as was flione on the far less interesting and memora- le occasion of the interview between Goethe Schiller. It was a pity: for the men would have earned a useful lesson, that they are not half 0 indispensable as they suppose to the suc- ess ofasocial gathering. The prophets of evil were all out of their reckoning. First, he toilettes were eblouissantes; women dress- ing for women were in their very best. There was a feeling of pique in it, perhaps; they had heard what was said, and they wanted to con- found the scorners. Thenit simply went on wheels from first to last.

There were no men tosee how they clapped hands. It was delightful, they all said, to be able to live like this—just for one day. The prophets of evi® were decidedly out of their reckoning. Two hours had passed since these fifty. women had come together; 5 Jock had struck—there had been no shindy: : *6 o’clock—not a snub, not a yawn. They knew what was expected of them, both by friends and enemies, and they determined to hold out in amiability to the last. They were more fiatteringly civil to one another than even men are wont to be to them. ladies’ battle of compliment.

It was a | | wich him. They admired | | blowin’. as I have already | said, was killing, and there was an hour more | nh fegard to the ques- ly soon to have cheap- nt- ti- e Matt ii er public journals, Mr. Reid argued om ‘fiom existing facts—epigram preety that newspapers would come | "down to ante-war’ prices when readers are weady tomccept ap .ante-war newspaper, and this he thought very problematical. Statisti- ta} data were produced to show the enormous expenditure now undertaken by our lead ne rs in order to obtain the earliest a most complete news. As an illustration of the PRICES PAID BEFORE THE WAR for journalistic work, Mr. Reid gave these fi gures: Something has been said of the enormous increase in editorial ex ures of individual salaries will clearer. une’s] containing the weekly payments from 1848 to 1859, I extract from the first page some items that have now acurioussound. The firsPentry is Mr. Sinclair, book-keeper, $15; the next Mr. Strebeigh, assistant book-keep- er, $10; then gone Mr. Dana, assistant ed- itor $14: Mr. Taylor,ditto, $12; Mr. Cleve- lend, ditto, $10; Mr. ‘Snow, money reporter, $12: Mr. Davies, in the courts, $4; Mr. Towndrow, police reports, $7; Mr. Augustus Maveric proof- reader, $6; Mr. Gibson, ship-news and im- portations, $14; Mr. March, Washington cor- respondent, $20; Mr. Robinson, ditto, $15. Now skip to the last page of this same book containing the payments for the week ending on the 3lst of December, 1859. Very largely the same men made the paper. Ithadgrown, as the record on the same page shows, from the weekly use of 168 3-4 reams for the daily, to.the use of 494 reams. Below these items stood the personal list, more than doubled now in length, but with the same leading names. Reading down it now, we pick out Mr. Sinclair, bookkeeper, $48: Mr. Strebeigh, assistant ditto, $30; Mr. Dana, assistant edi- tor, $48; Mr. Ripley, ditto, $25; Mr. Gay, ditto, $20; Mr. Towndrow, $14; Mr. Snow, money reporter, $30; Mr. Gibson, ship news and importations, $28; the Washington cor- respondents, $57 50; the Count Gurowsk&i, $20. But the latter was not a weekly payment, and was unusually high. Many weeks the good Count, who was only employed ‘‘by the piece,’’ got nothing, and the entries oppo- rye his name. were mostly for sums of $5 or nses, but a few fig make it On the books, a little further back, George William Curtis figures as city editor at $20 per week, and Henry J. Raymond, as second on the paper, rose gradually from $8 to $20. Richard Hildreth wrote apparentiy ‘‘by the piece,’’ and his monthly payments @anged from $100 to $200—sometimes more. In 18535 William Henry Frye had risen to $25 per week; and the next year James 8S. Pike was paid **for the whole winter’s work at Wash- ington’’ the gross sum of $203 50. Bayard Taylor was credited hs) apiece for his California letters, but on his return Mr. Greeley moved and car- ried an advance to $10 on the ground that **they had madcahit.’’ H. G.’s own name appears regularly on the lists of those days at $50 per week. He afterwards bad it cut down to $40; and there was never a subse- quent advance which he did not resist. Once indeed there is an entry tothe effect that ‘‘Mr. Greeley protested at some length against the advance in his salary, and gave formal notice that he did not intend to earn any more than he was now receiving.’’ For ten or a dozen years past, it has been my duty to fix the salaries on this same book. I have found plenty of gentlemen who might truth- fully enough have given this last notice, but not another who made the preliminary pro- test! Does the most rigid economist expect that the newspapers will or can return to these **prices before the war?’’ THE NEXT GREAT REVOLUTION in journalism, Mr. Reid continued, is not likely to be in the direction of greater quan- tity. He did not believe that the daily news- paper of 1890 will give many more pages than that of 1880. Book-making is notjournalism. Even magazine making is not journal- ism. The business of a daily news- paper is to print the news of the day, in such compass that the average reader may fairly expect to master it during the day, without interfering with his regular business. When it passes beyond these lim- its it ceases to be a newspaper,and it ceases to command the wide support which is essential to success. The great revolution of the future in newspapers is not, therefore, to be in doubling their sizc, in doubling the quantity of matter they give, orin doubling the multi- tude of subjects they already treat. He believed thatthe rule of condensation would next prevail. If a Stanley is sent to Africa, a Macaulay will be sent to tell his story forhim. Why should net the impeachment of Andrew Johnson have been as well told for us as the impeachment of Warren Hastings? In conclusion, Mr. Reid gave reasons to show that the power of the press is not de- clining. SE NOTED NABOBS. Bessemer has been eries in steel.

[From the Spriugtield Republican. } A queer instance of love’s vicissitudes has occurred in Becket. .Two young swains, brothers, have been courting sweethearts in their teens, one going to Otis and the other to Chester. The other day the Chester girl, the belle of the region, was persuaded by her lover, while on a visit to Southwick, to step over the line into Stranby, Conn., and get married. Then the pair returned home, the bride going to her parents, andthe marriage was an- nounced. Repentance has followed the girl’s rashness, however, and now she declines to have anything to do with her husband, talk- ing even ofadiyorce. The other young man immediately married his girl, going no furth- er than the town elerk’s office for his wedding tour, and the father-in-law is so cut up by the hasty marriage that he has got even by havin ye son-in-law fined for keeping an unlicense og. iii — A Stage Scene from Real Life. {From the New York Sun.} At Harry Miner’s Theater a brief but real- istic play is acted every evening. A man stands before the footlights, inoffensively sing- ing. Another man, dressed in police uniform snd carrying the semblance of a heavy locust club, stalks down the stage. The singer ex- claims, ‘*Oh, here’s Clubber Williams!’’ Then the personator of Clubber Williams seizes the singer by the collar, wipes the floor with him, pounds him onthe head with the club until he is apparently lifeless, and drags him out through a doorway, over which is the sign, ‘*Twenty-ninth Precinct Station.’’ The audienee invariably shouts, hisses and groans at the representative of — Williams.

ABOUT TOWN. ALL delicate females use Reed's Gilt Edge Tonic. THE Carondelet firemen have decided to have their picnic on the 19th of July. THE dome of the Court-house is not as fash- ionable a summer resort as it used to be. ONE THOUSAND AND TEN persons have been helped to Kansas by the Colored Refugees’ Re- lief Fund. THE National Guard tendered Company K, Capt. McOloy,a grand reception last night at the Armory. ‘*‘BRACE up onthe gewiss business,’’ is the very newest slang from the East. It arrived in town at alate hour last night. THE orphans’ picnic at the Fair Grouuds will be, as usual, asuccess. The committees have ail been appointed and are hard at work. A PURE. wholesome medicine, Reed's Gilt Edge Tonic. Mrs. ANNA WOODLOCK, of 2116 Broadway, is hunting a well-dressed deceiver, who passed a counterfeit trade dollar on her yesterday. THE Ejight-Hour Leaguers meet to hold & mass meeting this evening at Union Park Hall, eorner of Allen avenue and Decatur street. Two glasses of beer tora nickel would do more toward quieting the eight-nour leaguers than any legislation; that is, if somebody fur- nishes the nickel. Buy the best faruily Tonic. A STZADY stream of vags, male and female, fluws east on Chestnut street between half past seven and nine every night. Whence they come and whitherthey goisan impenetrable mystery. THE rapt expression of the elevator poy’s face, when he is deep in a harrowing tale from the facile pen of Nen. Buntiine and is carrying one two stories higher than one wants to go, makesit impossible and unkind to interrupt him. T. R. Y. REED'S Gilt Edge Tonic. A MESSENGER of the House ot Refuge, while taking a couple of young scapegraces out, thought himselt compelled to fire his revoiver at a twelve-year-old boy who attempted to escape. Fortunately no harm was done and the boy retaken. A GRANGER who dropped a trade dollar into a bob-tailed car box, under the impression that he was passing it to the driver, was a feat- ure on Washington avenue yesterday. ‘The car seemed tor awhile as fall of logic as a colored debating society. THE alumni ofthe Christian Brothers’ Col- lege met at 722 Chestnut street last evening. The old debts for the year were all paid up; and Messrs. H. L. Fox and Fred. R.

About the only evidenee of life in banking circles was to Eastern exchange, which, open- ing with sales at 50c discount, subsequently strengthened under a much better demand,and later transactions were reported at par. Other- wise, business was certainly dull, discounts running lightin amaunt and voluine, and en- tirely on city acceunt. Nothing to speak ot with the country, save some ship- ments of currency. Counter transac- tions were quniet and small. Securities showed up better than they have for some time past, the inquiry being freeer and larger and operators more disposed to trade.
