LOUIS. About 10 o’clock last night the saloon and restaurant owned by Jacob Christ on the Levee. immediately south of the bridge, took fire. Analarm was turned on from box ten at the east pier of the bridge, but before the St. Louis engines arrived the building was almost totally de- stroyed. Mr. Christ estimates his loss at $2,000. The house was insured for $700. With the assistance of some neighbors Mr. Christ succeeded in saving a portion of the dining-room fixtures and furniture, The corner stone of the colored Baptist church on the Rock road was laid to-day with the usual ceremonies. ° The engine and baggage car of the South- easterb train No. 1 ran off the track from an open switch near the old 0. & M. Car-works, but were put on again ina few minutes. No trains were delayed. The Cairo Short Line ran trains every hour up to noon. Oflicers O’ Neil and Dowd had a narrow es- cape from serious injuries, and perhaps death, afew days ago. They were passing a new house in the course of erection on Broadway, nedr Fourth street, when the front wall of the building fell outward. A carpenter employed on the building saw the wall shake and gave them timely warning. They barely succeeded in reaching the street, when the wall fell, the highest part of which came within a few feet of them. Only one arrest for drunkenness on the street to-day. Uhrig’s Cave. The trim little bark ‘‘Pinafore’’ is stil] sail- ing smoothly along at Ubrig’s Cave and draws large crowds nightly. The company is the best, taken altogether, that has yet visited this city. 1t renders the music both correctly and artistically. Josephine’s rendition of the charming melodies is perfect. She sings the cadenza accurately and beauti- fully. Wick Deadeye has a magnificent voice and gives a good interpretation to the character. ‘The chorus is well trained and the orchestra good. Sullivan’s music is given nightly in a style to charm all listeners. **Trial by Jury’’ follows **Pinafore,’’ and this amusing operetta is greeted with uproar- iouslaughter. To-night extra attractions are pesveness and there will be an unusually arge attendance, as Ubrig’s is one of the coolest spots in town. ‘To-morrow there will be a matinee. ARCHBISHOP PURCELL. No Truth in the Story that the Venera- ble Prelate is Losing His Mind. [From the Cinetnnati Commercial. | The rumor that Archbishop Purcell is los- ing his mind on account of his great financial difficulties is without any foundation. JI t probably had its origin in the fact that Dr. Pabish, of Mt. St. Mary’s Seminary, recently became insane, and two weeks ago was taken to Mt. Hope Retreat, near Baltimore, for » treatment. Dr. Heck, whotoek Dr. Pabish to MigHope, conversed with friends in Balti- : jarding the heavy calamity which has chbishop, and from that con- versation the report started that the Arch- bishop is insane. In point of fact, His Grace is in exceilent health, and an effort is being made to persuade him to remain in the East for some time to come. . The Abend Post savs: ‘*‘For some days melancholy rumors have been circulating concerning the mental condi- tion of Archbishop Purcell. It is true that the Archbishop of Baltimore, who had been written to for information on_ the subject, answered that he had no knowledge of the reported insanity of Archbishop Purcell. Little reassuring as the tone of this dispatch was, however, there are other things which make the matter still more serious. It is an open secret that vhe journey of Archbishop Purceil to the East was a fail- ure in the financial aspect. It was to be ex- ected thatthe loss of this last hope would ave avery bad effect on his mind, now for some years hovering on the verge of second childhood. It is known that he has been taken to a convent at Albany, New York, and that his companion, Dr. Callahan, has had great difficulty in inducing him to remain there,and that, presumably at the latter’s solicitation, Fathers Cusack, Halley and Doyle started for that place day before yesterday, to represent, on their part, to the sick prelate that he should stay in the East till autumn. Steps have been taken atRome to hasten the appointment of an assistant to the Archbishop, and although Bishop Chatard, of Indianapolis, is the latest named of three proposed candidates, it is be- lieved that he nas the best prospects of any for the place, with the right to be named as the Archbishop’s successor.’ ’ AStory ofa Prince. {From the London World, June 18.) He is a young Prince—an officer of course, and heirto a great and varied Empire—in Timbuctoo, let us say. Sheis thesister of two of his brother officers. They had never spoken to each other, but he had noticed her in the gardens near the palace. Relying on his high position, and doubtless emboldened by pre- vious successes, he penned her the following note: ‘*Sie gefallen mir! Besuchen sie mich heute abend, um 6 uhr.—R.’’—which means that M. le Prince told the young lady that she didnot displease him, and begged her to beinthe castle at 6 sharp! This touching effusion, so persuasive in its style, she showed to her brothers, who forthwith took the only course that honor allowed, viz.: they each challenged the Prince. A duel in this case was out of the question. What was to be done? Count B—~+s, the Chamberlain, was au desespair. A court of honorjwas held, and ‘*papa’’ had also to be communicated with, who commanded his son and heir to person- ally apologize to the lady and her two brothers —a bitter pill, which the Prince was fain to swallow. Asea journey and a visit to a neighboring country, where the remembrance ofthis dose of humble-pie was dimmed by battues and bull-fights, was doubtless a pleas- ant change. Returned Congressmen. Several members of Congress arrivedin St. Louis last night from the field of their recent labors at Washington. Among them was Gen. John B. Clark, Jr., whois the guest of Gen. Marmaduke. Senator Vest is at the Planters’. and Representative Clardy is registered at the Laclede. — — — ey Snobbishness. {From the Moberly (Mo.)

MEXICAN NEWS. {From the Two Republics (June 18).] The State forces of Hidalgo are bei..s ganized. It appears that some of the Indians of Tepic are still under arms. The city authorities have refused tv grant li censes for public balls. The new Guatemala Minister was received by the President last Saturday. As yetthereis no clue to the recent rob- bery in the Federal Treasury. A band of thirty Indians have receratly been committing depredations in Chihuahua. Ten thousand one hundred and sixty-four persons died in this city during last year, Gen. Garcia de la Cadena nipped a pro- jected revolution in the bud a few days ago. It is said thatthe State ol Sacatecas refuses to submit to the recent taxes imposed Dy Con- gress. The importation duties received in the Vera Cruz Custom-house last month amounted to $575,923. The city police have recently arrested a num- ber of persons e1igaged in circulating counter- teit money. The Supreme Court has again threatened to Gissolve in case its members are not paid.with punctuality. The recent political arrests were made on the theory that it is better to prevent revolutions than crush them. The band of marauders that made its appear- ance inChibuahua some time ago, has been completely destroyed. The Morelia diligence was robbed near Ixtla- huaca a few days ago; Mr. Manuel Mercado was among the passengers. George Wilkins Kindall’s ‘‘War Between the United States and Mexico’’ has just made its appearance in New York. Tne Patria gives the report that a company of rural guards pronounced between Jalapa and Lerma a few days ago. Last Sunday night five soldiers ot the guard on the Vera Cruztrain deserted at Esperanza, first killing the sergeant in command. The Diario Oficialdenies that the President receives his pay intull.

The calendar has again brought to the American people their great anniversary, the Fourth of July. The second century of na- tional existence is already beginning to slip away, and the score-mark to-day goes down for one hundred and three years. Occasions like te-day are useful as well as ornamental; they form the stages inthe people’s journey in which they can look back on what they have done, and measure their progress. And they furnish the youth of the country with an un- limited opportunity for pyrotechnic patriot- ism. The character of the celebration has steadily changed in the last fifty years. It was originally a galaday, with certain exer- cises set apart peculiarly its own. People cel- ebrated the Fourth of July; the village ora- tor pitched from the heights of Chimborazo and the village elocutionist read the Declara- tion from a to izzard; there were oxen roasted whole, and tubs of cider beneath every shade tree, and, culminating point of the day’s services, there was a grand muster and training of the local militia. -Now-a-days people celebrate on the Fourth; they picnic and parade and have a good time generally with very little more reference to the Fourth than they would have to any other holiday. THIS MORNING thesun rose upon a fair, blue sky with just enough white, fleecy clouds lyixg down near the horizon to make promise of bits of cool. shade later inthe day. Aslight breeze sprung up from the South bearing clouds which culminated in a heavy downpour. The town was astir atan earlier hour than usual dressing itself in its holiday bunting. Flags were everywhere, the city seemed sud- denly to have broken out in starspangled ban- ners. Roofs, windows, chimneys and door- ways were fluttering with the stars and stripes, little, small, large and great. Silken banners streamed out on the brisk south wind and danced gaily in the skant beams of the morning sun. After the early breakfast, which was the rule in every house that had Young America as denizens, troops of child- ren, without distinction of sex, color or previ- ous condition of servitude, sallied out to cele- brate the day. From Bissell’s point to the mouth ofthe Des Peres there was one long salvo of ‘‘bomb- shells,’’ *‘‘cannon crackers,’’ ‘‘union torpe- does’’ and ‘‘fire erackers.’’ The more eco- nomical, who wished to produce the greatest possible amount of resonance for the least possible amount of money, encased their loud-sounding crackers in echoing oyster cans which doubled and trebled the report. Boys traded blue crackers for yellow ones, hid crackers in their sister’s switches, ex- ploded mines of craekers under the small earthworks of imaginary enemies, tried how crackers would sound under water, fired them in their teeth and their playmates’ : pockets, attached prodigally strings of crackers to the termination of the errant and ochrous canine; in short it was crackers,crackers everywhere, and some to spare besides. The usual complement of scared horses, whom the intérval of a year had caused to forget the experiences of a day, dashed madly down back streets. The customary customers of the Dispensary turned up as usual without their customary eyes, hands, ears, noses, and other personal impediment, detached by the **day we celebrate,’ a little LATER IN THE DAY. The children of a larger growth turned out for their day’s pleasuring. Not all the honey of ] umn moving up to Washington across to Franklin avenue, then down Frank- | lin avenue to Fifth, then up Fifth to Biddle, bymetus was sweeter than the lavender- kid¢ed and trowsered, white-vested, blue- nechtied and fixed-up delegation that started forth to take their dulcineas to rural Edens for the day; and not the very essence of that honey could be more saccharine than those same duicineas in pique and white muslin, with all their armor bur- nished up for conquest. — Eight-Hour League Parade. The Eight-Hour heague demonstration was a very quiet affair. If anybody had conjured up in his mind any scenes of blood, even a hostile show of any sort, he was doomed to disappointment. A large majority of those who joined in the parade were as peaceable and as well disposed citizens as there are in St. Louis. St. Louis had agreat Strike in July, 1877, and since thata panic has sprung up every now and then over the report that the laboring men were organizing for a still more DESPERATE STRUGGLE, There may be riots and bloody battles in the streets of St. Louis at some time in the future brought about by the unceasing conflict between labor and capital, but that conflict will have to grow far more heated than it now is before any such direful events will occur. If there was desire to burn, kill and destroy inthe hearts of the men in the eight-hour league parade to-day, it was not apparent to the casual or even the close observer. It was as harmless a body as a Sunday School excur- sion party. The rallying point for the members of the procession was Twelfth and Locust streets, near LUCAS MARKET. Batches of men, boys, girls and women began to assemble in that vicinity as early as 8 o’clock. Soon afterwards some of the ‘‘sections’’ of the workingmen orders, lodges and leagues began to arrive, many of them headed by a band of music, varyingin extent and quality from four fifers to thirty horn blowers. By 9 o’clock a large crowd was surging un ssdcthrough =—=sall the streets near Lucas market, and here and there rode the marshals of the day on chargers of various degrees of leanness, bedecked with proper garlands, red sashes, blue sashes, swords, stars and other insignia of dignity and importance. The different organizations were scattered about at convenient places waiting for the order to fall into the general line. Some ofthe orders had wagons gaily ornamented with flags, green branches flow- ers, and banners With mottoes. SOME OF THE MOTTOES were painted in German. Those in English were reasonable enough. The following are fair samples: ‘Work Manfully andthe End Will be a Conquering Success.’’ ‘‘Our motto: Live and let live.’’ ‘‘Our watch word: Stick together.’’ ‘‘Our memories dwell where Warren fell.’’ ‘*To tell our secrets 1s folly; to tell those of others is ireacbery.’’ ‘*Right is might.’’ ‘*Bhight hours’ work to offset machinery ‘**Let us have peace.’’ ‘*Man was made to work. 9°) Let no man | think the place assigned to him too hard.’’ ‘*Laborreform is the first step toward tem- perance reform.’’ ‘*Laborious poverty (whatever that means) is worthy of respect.’’ The cabinet-makers had painted in large letters the following quotation from Tom Seott: ‘‘Givethem the rifle diet fora few davs and see how they will like that.’’ There were two or three red flags streaming around, but the flag that bears the stars and stripes rose high above all others, and was seen everywhere. & One company had a huge PICTURE OF WASHINGTON, while there were hundreds of other tokens that indicated that patriotism ruled the day. And who doubts thatif the country were in danger that those same Eight-Hour-Lesgue men would be among tne first to respond to the call for soldiers. At 10 o’clock all things were and the order of march was given. The start was made from Twelfth and Locust, the col- avenue, then in readiness out Biddleto Sixteenth, then to Lindell Park. A PosT-DISPATCH reporter took up a position of observation at Twelfth street and Frankiin avenue. THE ORDER OF THE PARADE, as made out beforehand, was as follows: ORDER OF THE PARADE, Musie.

This, however, was SOMEWHAT MODIFIED, the Montgomery Guards bringing up the rear instead of taking the lead. Two marshals rede abreast in front to clear the street. These were followed by four as* sistant marshals riding abreast, then two carriages holding J. C. Fincher, of Pennsylvania; re We McKittrick, of Memphis; P. J. Maguire, the well-known labor agitator, and one or two others. After these rode a marshal, then came the band, and a good one, too, then the rank and file, marching onfoot. It was quite hot, and the men suffered greatly as they trudged along their long road to Lindell Park. The sidewalks were pretty well crowded with lookers on, but there was no excitement, noteven a cheer. In fact, peace and order reigned from one end of the line to the other. Even the Montgomery Guards, with their rifles, did not look at all savage. Most of the men in the line of march were . between the ages of eighteen and forty. They were generally well dressed, most of them looked stout and well fed, some of them were smoking cigars, and all looked reasonably happy. One would not take them te be op- pressed slaves, and are certainly not ina suf- fering condition. There were probably not over 3,000 men in the procession, and it was not as large as ex- pected, still it was representative of the labor- ng people of St. Louis. A severe Julius Hlergoz, J. RAIN STORM came up at 120’clock, and sadly demoralized the | the day. —_—— ———- EXPLANATION OF DIAGRAM, A—Grand stand. B—Race track, C—Stables. D— Fort. E—Battery of tour guns. ¥F—House.

The scene at the Cote Brilliante track of the St. Louis Jockey Club grounds will be pro- bably the most brilliant that has ever been witnessed in St. Louis. Nearly. fifteen hun- dred soldiers, including infantry, cavalry and artillers, will take part in the _ first sham battle ever held in. St. Louis. The programme of the military maneuvers is a varied and interestinz one and 50,000 peo- ple may be expected at the course on that day. The Arsenal band, with a drum major. will enliven the Jmaneuvers with music and will playa very conspicuous part in the proceedings. The first event of the day will be the CAVALRY TOURNAMENT, will commence at 4 p.m. be confined solely to members of the cavalry company. The judges will be appointed by Capt. Jeff Clark.

Phelps, accompanied by Adjutant-Gen- eral Mitchell and Mayor Overstolz. Last but not least comes the SHAM BATTLE, which will be the attraction of the day.

A wooden fort and outworks are in course of erection at the southeast corner of the grounds (D in diagram) which will be manned bya detachment of police reserves and zouaves. Beyond the grounds to the southeast the artil- lery ‘will have planted a battery of four guns (marked E) which will cover and protect the fort. The guns will be outside the grounds, and will be manned by thirty-two men, Lieut. Skipwith commanding. Along the northeast- ern side of the grounds, supported by the row of stables there, and partiy within and partly without the grounds, will be _ located the Police Reserves and Zouaves un- der the command of Colonel Butler. The St. Louis andthe First Battalion Na- tional Guards, including the cavalry, about thirty men, Capt. Jeff. Clark, will be station- ed along and behind the hedges at the south- western portion of the grounds (marked H), having a house (marked F) as their rallying place or point of support. Thus the men wiil be stationed before the out- break of hostilities. Col. Butlerjwill then send out a vidette of zouaves and police reserves who will take =. position near the race (marked K). 1. Carpenter will order Capt. Clark to out a few cavairy to jreconnoitre the enemy’s position. The cavalry charged with this duty will ad- vance down the race track (dash line from H toK). Here they of course will come across vidette. - § will be D will vance to support Meanwhile Col. Butler whieh the | vidette is company su . _— pport Captain W.

They cover the retreat, which continues back toH. Col. Butler has during this time advanced* with his entire forces, Police Reserves and guards, towards the center of the Zouaves, where he takes up position (marked G to L). The National Guards are now eager for the fray, and Col. Carpenter, perceiving that the enemy has left his strong position, orders a general charge of all the cavairv. This will be one of the prettiest sights of the battle. The cavalry will advance ata tremendons rate on the enemy (dash line H to L). Col. Carpenter advances at once with his entire force to sup- port the cavalry (H to L), and thus the two opposing armies meet on the field of battle (marked Lin diagram). Here they are at close quar- ters, and the rattle of the musketry, the sounds of the shots, the charg- ing cavalry, the advance and retreat, the smoke and the din will make up a mimic scene of war that will at onee delight the spec- tators and be harmless to the combatants. The fight ends in a drawn contest and the opposing forces shake hands across the bloody chasm, and, uniting their strength, determine on capturing the fort [DJ]. The combined army advance upon it (dash line L. to D). The garrison of the fort is numerically weak, but make a desperate resistance. Meanwhile the battery of guns blazes away atthe besiegers, and endeavors to protect the beleaguered forfress. Boom after boom resounds, and the guns do mighty execution onthe foe. But in vain; the enemy is far too numerous. They steadily advance on the fort. The varrison makes one last effort, but it is futile. Then, fired with heroic determination, they determine to blow up _ the fortifica- tions and_ retreat. Preparations are made; the powder is laid; the garrison, always presenting a good front to the enemy, sullenly retires; the match is applied and the battered fort is no more. It is blown up with terrific effect. The explosion is thunderous. ‘This, of eourse, diverts the attention of the besiegers, and the survivors from the fort conduct their retreat in safety to the battery. But the advancing army 1s not to be balked and now resolves to charge the battery (i: to- Bs A bloody fray is the result, but after a tough struggle the guns are captured, when the stars and stripes are hoisted amidst the huzzas and salvoes of the victors. The sham vattle is concludea. _ Everything has been done to make the shim fight a success. Great care too has been taken to prevent.the possibility of accidents. All the cartridges have been examined, and there Will not be the slightest danger tothe specta- tors. Two ofthe special features will be the cavalry charge across the greensward and the blowing up of the fort. As it will be nearly dusk when the latter event takes place it will afford a magnificent spectacle. The merchants have come forward liberally in sup- port of the undertaking, and some $1,500 has been subscribed towards defraying the expenses of the milita- ry. ‘There will bea large influx of country visitors, and the streets will present a lively appearance. The center of attraction in the afternoon will, of course, be the Jockey Club Grounds. March of the Troops. THE INFANTRY. The St. Louis National Guard assembled a little before 2 at their armory, Fourth and Washington avenue. The hall presented a very animated appearance. The Arsenal Band played livelyg tunes while the various com- panies were falling in. Col. Carpenter and Major Chapman were busy attending to their, respective duties. <A messenger was dispatched to Gen. Squires, end on his return Col. Carpenter put his com- panies in motion. Quite a crowd had gath- ered on the sidewalks to witness the depart- ure of the citizen soldiery from their head- quarters. The Arsenal Band, headed by the drum major, led the way, Col. Carpenter and his staff, all mounted, following. Then came the variots companies. As the Guards emerged from the Armory there was a littte sprinkling of rain. The line of march was along Washington avenue to Elhveeth street, t2ence to the Union Depot where they took a train for the Race Track. THE ZOUAVES were about the first organizatiow on the streets. Theimuniform apparently was new, and a pretty sightthey formed marching up Chestnut street. Capt. Kobert Bain com- manded. ‘Their rather bizarre and bright gaudy dress attracted considerable attention. THE CAVALRY. At the Rink, the headquarters of the cay- alry company, the scene began to be an animated one by to o’clock young gentlemen in the gorgeous shakos and glittering cords and buttons of the cavalry uniform began to be frequent, and many a plain civilian caterpillar passed up stairs and became utterly unknown in his gay butterfly attire. The members of the artillery cémpany were sprinkled abeut the buiiding. some of them lurking about, and others more sedately thinking of the gory scene in prospect, and composing their minds to wars alarums. Gen. Squire’s, with his staff arrived about half-past 2and things began to move more easily. Lt. Col. Frank J. Porter, Chief of Staff, Maj. Lackland, Maj. Cupples, Captain Doherty and Capt. Buenzi compose the general’s personal following, their soldierly hearing, and their long plumes and fine horses made a fine appearance as they took places behind the artillery company. , This company, the artillery, as everybody knows, is part of the Na- tional Guard, and consists of four field pieces. There are fifty men in line to- day under command of Lieut. Skipwith, in the absence of Capt. Doherty on the Gen- eral’s staff, Lieuts. Winter and Williams are next in command. The cavalry company, mustering thirty-five men, to-day was put in fine shape by Capt. Clark and Lieuts. Holliday and Hunt; the men looked excel- lently—and the - clear notes of the bugle calling. Boot and saddle, infuse a new life them. Everything was Rink about . 2:0 p. m., and went through some difficult evolutions before they were led out. They joined the artillery company .on Olive street and the whole cavalcade. with clanking sabres and echoing hoofs, faded rapidly into the distance. At the Fair Grounds. The Orphans’ Picnic, at the Fair Grounds, is an event that has become almost insepara- ble from the celebration of the Fourth of July in St. Louis. The weather to-day greatly interfered with the . success of the picnic this year. As the rain fell very heavily about noon, the amusements were confined to dancing, shooting, throw- ing, etc. As heretofore, nearly all the parish- es had tables at the booths. St. Pat- rick’s, St. John’s, St.. Michael’s and a few other congregations contribu’ed money. etc. The parishes represented there to-day were as follows: St. Vincent’s, two tables, under the management of Mrs. Bender, assisted by Misses Dowling, Sex- ton, * McWeeny, Snannon, Waney, and the Misses Fitzgerald. The Annunciation by Messrs. James Quirk and James Ruan. St. Teresa’s by Mr. Dan Cavanaugh. St. Bridget’s and St. Lawrence O’Toole’s were also represented by some of the gentlemen of the parish.

The grounds of the Jockey Club were resplendent in green. The last finishing touches were put to the fort and barricades, and by noon everything was com- pleted. The hopes of a fine day were doomed to disappointment; the sky became overcast, and presently there was a tre- mendous down-pour of rain. The race track was rapidly converted into a river of mud, and the prospects of a sham battle began to lessen considerably. The storm, though vio- lent, was of short duration, but the shy re- mained overcast. At times new gleams of hope would reanimate the sinking breasts of those on the grounds, and the time passed in anxious expectation, At the Union Depot. Never in the history of the Union Depot was it so crowded as this morning from6:30 o’ clock to9o’clock. When erected it was thought large enough for any é¢vent, but this morning the contrary was demonstrated. At an early hour men with their wives and children began arriving, all anxious for a day in the country shade or some of the many suburban villages adjacent to the Future Great. By 7 o’clock, such a dense throng had assembled that an extra force of policemen were found necessary to keep the tracks clear, and, up to 9 o’clock, there was but little decrease in the crowd, the places of those leaving be- ing filied by those arrivingon the in-coming trains, every one of which was thronged with agayfreight. Sun-burned, weather-stained country belles and ‘beaux, fresh from the fields, predominated. The latter had been hoarding their spare change for mouths, to be used on this occasion, and looked as if they could assault a baker shop,confectionery store or soda fountain with the fortitude of veterans. One poor Italian made a small fortune in three minutes selling green and red toy balloons to the excursionists, and then, when the last of his stock was gone, wept and cursed himself and patron saint for not having charged double price for the little air crafts. A few of the crowd took buses, a few took the streets cars. but the majority prefer- red to walk and feast their eyes on the bril- liantly decorated windows of the trades people. The number of the crowd arriving at the Union Depot this morning may be safely estimated at 20,000. At the Four Courts. outside point, is the flag which floats saucily from the dome where it was hoisted at 4 o’clock this morning. Allof the courts are closed, and only the Coroner’s office and the gency that might arise. Chief McDonough cleaned up his revolver about noon, and, ace companied by Capt. Lee and Secretary Chap- man, went down into the armoryand practiced pistol sheotirg for an hour. It has been the Chief’s custom for several years to. practice pisto! shooting on holidays, and now he 1s one of the cleverest shots in the town. The detectives were scattered out about the hotels and principal streets on the lookout for pickpockets, thieves and confidence men, who always accept such occasions as the present as a gala harvest. At9%o’clocka few bummers filed into the Police Court and took seats desirous of gloating over the misery of their fellow humans who fall within the pale of the law, and were greatly disgusied oa be- ing notified that there would be no session of court. A few of the janitors remained on duty, but the majority fdonaed_ their holiday attire, and were out in their ward; doing cffective service among the political small fry. The poor devils in the jail, from the tatest petit larceny accession up to the inmates of Murderers’ Row, were sad and despondent. ‘hough hardened and steeped in sin as they are they found it impos- sible te keep memory from reyerting back to former happy ‘‘Fourths’’ which - they had knewn and enjoyed. Some of their friends remembered them with a few dainties, but dainties were nothing compared to liberty on such an occasion as the present one. A few pieces of artillery stood loaded out in the jail yard ready for use if their servi- ces should be required, and they completed the routine of the Four Courts. ha On the Levee. At Sunrise this morning a PosteDISPaTcH reporter visited the levee and found it desert- ed, with the exception of a stray roustabout or tramp crawling out from under some tarpau- lin, where he had passed the night with the warm stones for his bed. There were no other signs of life, but two hours later, when a second call was made, evervthing was found all bustle and activity. The wharfboats were thropged with pleasure-seekers, all anxiou to quit the dust, heat and tumult of the city for By few short hours. Steam- ers and tiny crafts, gaily deco- . rated with the national colors, were darting hither and thither, bands of masic were ren- dering the latest pepular melodies, and every- body seemed to have laid aside all trouble care for at least one day. Baskets ove ing with substantia! dainties were num and as a steamer loaded almost to thes withthe happy excursionists woulg -s out in the stream for India Cave, Crystal Springs, Wood River, or some otber local spa, the air would be rent with multitudinous cheers. In all there were a dozen excursions left the various wharves, and it may be saidto their credit that there was a noticeable lack of auything like rowdy- ism or the rough element participating in the festivities , German Catholic Societies. St. Joseph’s German Catholic, numbering 474 members, celebrated the 103 anniver- sary of the American Independence by the member attending in corpse High Mass at 7:30 this morning, celebrated by Father Hagemann, S.

Atthe Work-house the prisoners have a holiday and received an excellent dinner, bet- ter than any they had spread before them since Christmas. At the Jlixl—~Asshrm, Insane Asylum, House of Re- fuge, City Hospital and Female Hospital holiday dinnerf were served. At the Blind Asylum and House of Refuge, morning services were held,and,at the Insane Asylum, a ball will wind up the festivities to-night, ) The Rain Storm. A severe rain and wind storm passed ove the city at’ 12 o’clock, lasting fully fifteen minutes, and making it very unpleasant fo bundreds and thousands of people who we out on various pleasure excursions, The raf fellin perfect torrents for some time ar flooded the streets, and the wind played h ocin general. ‘The Right-hour League sadly interfered with. hundreds of the p cessionists getting wet to the Y The Orphans’ picnic was also greatly tr fered with, the attendance on account of rain having been greatly reduced..«The eral damage done was tneonsiderable..

All the freight de- pots, mills, and places of business were close ed. The public buildings all floated flags. Among the amusements to-day were fishing parties, picnics and exeursions. A large nume- ber of the citizens visited St. Louis, The lawyers, *squires and consta- bles and their families ene joyed themselves at a picnic at Hallow’s pasture on the Caseyville road. The members of the Young Social Ciub hada picnic at Jones’ Grove. A large number at- tended private picnics at Gross’ Grove, under the management of Geo.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. —_— IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776. - = —_— The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirtegn United States of America. (This is an exact draft, in text. letter and punctua- tion, of the Declaration of Independence, as pDub- lished by W. Hickey, in his work, **The Constitution of the United States.**) When 1n the course of hitman events it be- comes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are en- dowed by their Creator with certain unaliena- ble rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to se- cure these rights governments are instituted . among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any orm of government becomes destructive of se ends, itis the right of the people to al- or to abolish it, and to institute a new overnment, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shail seem most likely to ef- fect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should mot be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hdth shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are suf- ferable, than to right themselves by abolish- ing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpa- tions, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under abso- lute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, tothrow off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies, and such is now the necessity which onstrains them to alter their former systems overnment. The history of the present Great Britain is a history of repeated d usurpations, all haying, in direct establishment o absolute tyran- ese States. e this, let facts Mroimitted to ag rid: He has refug tto laws the most OTe ry for the publie good.

In every stage of these oppressions, we haye petitiened for redress, in the most hum- ble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts made by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable juris- diction over us. We have reminaed them of the circumstances of our emigration and gset- tlement here. We have appealed to their na- tive justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessi- ty which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, ene- mies in war, in peace, friends. We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the Worldfor the rectitude of our inten- tions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare that these United Colonies are; and of right ought to be, free and inde- pendent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connexion between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, to- tally dissolved; and that as free ana independ- ent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, § contract alliances, establish commerce and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do. And,for the support of this dectaration, with a firm re- liance on the protection of Divine Providence we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

It is estimated that the interests and dividends alone that were paid out in the city of New York on the first of this month foot up the extraordinary sum of $31,000,- 000 or $15,000,000 on government bonds, $1,500,000 dividends on bank stock, and $15,000,000 as dividends and interest on railroad stocks and bonds. Every indica- tion points to the constantly growing wealth of this country.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. Philadelphia Times (Ind.): Congress was not calledupon to spend any more time in trying to satisfy Mr. Hayes’ con. tinually shifting notions. It has made every possible concession to his ignorance and par- tisan obstinacy. The Democrats have only themselves toblameif the sympathy of the country is not altogether with them at this time. Washington Post (Dem.): question of States’ rights as of the continued existence of States that is now pressing on public attention. According to Garfield and Cohkling, the States are creatures of the General Government as a township corporation is the creature of a State Legislature. lLlow will this aoctrine godown with the Radicals of Ver- mont, Rhode Island and Nevada? New York Herald (Ind.): If the Democratic party should be signally successful in the elections of the present year its policy in the extra session will be vindicated. In that event President Hayes will be placed in an awkward predicament. If the Democratic party gains strength in the coming State elections, its ma- jority in Congress will insist, even more stren- uously thanit has done in the extra session, upon nullifying the election laws by withholding money for their execution, and further vetoes will be a plain defiance of the popular will. New York Tribune (Rep.): About the only Democratic thing which comes out of the ex- tra session intactis the Solid South, Thatis as unshaken as ever. There is no danger that the work of ‘‘redeeming’’ the South by rifle- clubs and tissue-ba!lots will be interfered with. Tbe next election will show the saine Demo- cratic majorities as the last one, and the same mysterions disappearance of tbe negro vote. But the solidity will be in vain, for the North a larger number of electoral votes, The South will, as usual, be solid simply to its own detri- ment.

PUBLIC OPINION, Blue Jeans for President—Historical Precedents in His Favor. ST. Louts, July 2, 1879. There is just at this time considerable con- cern manifested as to who will be the standard- bearers of the different political parties in the approaching Presidential struggle. The avail- ability of men will be thoroughly canvassed, the doubtful States will be closely scrutinized, and the wishes of the masses should be gene- rally consulted. The Eastern States will pro- duce their strongest and safest men; the West will claim the candidate as a right justly due ask a fair reeognition at the bands of their friends. The Soft and the Hard-Money men will lock horns upon the financial question: the Greenbackers and the Labor-Reform party will demand recognition, and the Bondhold- | ers Will insist upon a candidate that will pro- tect, and, if possible, perpetuate their power. Thus it will be seen that the cloud of discord hangs heavily over the manufacturers and manipulators of national conventions. The strongest man before the people is not always the best known; the ‘‘best known’’ is sometimes too well known, but precedent proves that those less known in political life, with honesty and competency combined, have shown themselves the safest and strongest before the peo- ple. We might’ instance’ Franklin | Pierce, Gen. Taylor, Jas. K. Polk and Abra- | ham Lincoln, neither of whom were what might be classed politicians, at least of no na- tional fame; neither were in the general ac- ceptation of the term regarded as statesmen, but provedto be honest, high-minded, liberal men, and when called tothe front by their re- spective parties, the people rallied to their support, and thev proved equal-to the emer- Jas. K. Polk, unknown and almost unheard of in national politics, defeated Henry Clay, the greatest statesman of the age; Gen. Scott was defeated by Franklin Pierce,a high-sheriff from some obscure county in the State of New Hampshire; Gen. Cass was beaten by Gen. Tavlor, whose military ex- ploits alone in the Mexican war brought his name to the front; and the Little Giant, Stephen A. Douglass, of ‘*Squatter Sover- eignty’’ notoriety, was defeated by Abraham Lincoln, the rail splitter and pilot of an Ohio River flatboat. With such precedents and such* success at- unknown men, is it not a wonder that experi- enced politicians should endeavor and persist in foisting upon the party and the people men whose only ambition is place and poli- tical power, when a more cer- tain success, with less known and more hon- est men, is made doubly sure? One politician always depends upon another; hence their success in securing a nomination; but nomin- ees are not always certain of victory. The Democratic party has its Tilden, Hen- dricks, Bayard, Thurmanand Parker, and the Republican party its Conkling, Grant, Sher- man, Blaine and Logan, but the mass of the people want an honest, faithful and compe- tent manto administer the constitution and laws of the country, and the man most fitted to succeed Mr. Hayes is ** Blue Jeans’’ Wil- liams, of Indiana. A man of ho ambition and less pretension; a man of honor and ability; a man who enjoys the respect and contidence of man of the people—such a man is ‘*Blue Jeans’’ Williams, Governor of the State of In- diana. He is an unassuming old farmer, con- tent and happyin that avocation, but those who knew him best called him from his pri- vate walks to attend to their wants and busi- ness in the State Legislature, and so satisfac- torily did he discharge his duties that they honored Him with a seat in the. National Congress, and _ whilst filling that important position,and unexpected to him, the telegraph announced his- nomina- tion for Governor by his political friends. The people, believing in his honesty, his in- tegrity and his ability, elected him Governor of the State over Ben Harrison, one of the most Steere and popular men within the con- nes of the State, which position he now holds, and if the Democratic party, in their wisdom, nominate Gov. Williams, of Indiana, he will defeat either Conkling, Grant, Sherman, Blaine or Logan. This prediction is based up- on former facts and figures, and the nomina- tion of Gov. Williams would be the means of healing all the strife that now pervades the Democratic J wy! in regard to Tilden, and Hendricks.The friends of both are wide apart, and nothing will do more to restore peace and harmony in the Democratic ranks than would the nomination of **Blue Jeans.’’ He would rally the boys from. the Atlantic to the Paciltic, and a shout from Maine to Louisiana would go up that would startle-the professed politicians of the whole country, and result in placing a It isn’t so much is not only just as solid, but is in possession of | These provufs were too numerous. must be allowed to step, or else the | merely, it makes not much | But if it- is a | party otf restoration—of the revival of national | | and started. would | present it as, not the party of the people, but | to Itelezi and waited for the | Prince being impatient at their non-arrival and, Supreme | minded the , | about to resadale our horses I saw tems of the country, would be reorganized at | | horses and rode off amid a of Congress. | 4 | saw us mounting, rushed forth The foundation of this is that | | to his fate. / ant Carey galloped five miles without stopping truly conservative man at the head of this gov- ernment, COMMON SENSE. THE: DEAD PRINCE. Account of an Eye-Witness to the Death Scene. - -_ Breaking. the News to the Empress Eugenie. - — —— The British Slain at Isandula. {From the New York Herald.1 News concerning the death of the ex-Prince Imperial of France forms the great topic dis- cussed in the English newspapers of the 20th and 2ist of June. It is a sad story, and as more details arrive the interest grows all the more absorbing. The scenes at Camden House are described in glimpses. ‘‘Thanks to the foresight of Her Majesty the Queen,’’ says a correspondent, ‘‘the sad news did not come suddenly and unexpectedly on the be- reavea lady, the Empress. Precautions were taken to prevent the newspapers, as was usu- ally the custom, being sent toCamden House; and the servants were warned, in case they heard anything, to keep their lips closed. So well were the directions observed that when Lord Sydney—who is the lord of the manor of Chiselburst, and the Lord Chamberlain in the Government—arrived at Camden House at 10 o’clock a. m., by special direction of the Queen, he was enabled in the most touching and appropriate words to 1m- part the news which made the Empress Eug- enie not only a widow, but childless. The effect of the terrible information can be better imagined than described. The bewildered mother who bad been looking forward to re- ceiving a letter by this mail,@ould not at first believe the intelligence, but Lord Sydney had to back up his communication py the official telegrams- received at the War and Colonial Offices, and, above all, a message of condolence from Lady Frere. The Em- press at once fell into aswoon, and lay un- conscious all day.’’ Since then the cable has informed us of the terrible sufferings which the bereaved mother bas undergone. The | Right Rev. Mgr. Goddard, the Roman Cath- olic Priest at Chiselhurst, who had an audi- ence with the ny te gt says that not since the Emperor’s death had he seen her insucha conditson. The little church at Chiselhurst, dedicated to the Virgin, where the Prince’s body will rest, had been gayly. decorated for the Whitsuntide festival, but was at once de- -nudea of flowers and decorations and after- ward draped in black. THE MANNSR OF THE PRINCE’S DEATH. The cable has given us the facts connected If the | With the death of the Prince, and some very interesting details are contained in the dispatches from South Africa. The Prince, who was always desirous to be actively em ployed, was anxious to join Lieut. Carey, of- the Ninety-eighth, who was starting with six men of Bettington’s Horse on a reconnoiter¢ ing expedition. The staff objected to his go- ing, but he laughingly overruled their wishes Lieut. Carey, the leader of the reconnoitering party, gave the following ac- count of the expedition: **We left Koppie Allein at half-past 7, rode Basutos. The we rode on without them toa hill seven miles and a balf this side of Ishlawani Hill: recon- noitered with telescopes for one hour, saw no one. I re- Prince of the time. He said, minutes.’ At length, as we were the black faces of Zulus peering out between the maize stocks all round. Tbe Prince, looking aside, said, ‘I see themtoo.”’ We leaped upon our sudden volley of musketry from Zulus, who, as soon as they on all sides from the maize. All rode off. On crossing the donga, 200 yards away, we noticed the Prince’s horse following, rigeriess. I expect the Prince had been kilied in the kraal. Two of the escort were kilied.’’ From all accounts it appears that Lieutenant Carey and the troopers who saved themselves ran away at the first sight of the Zulns and left the young Prince, who had some difficulty in mounting from the tearing of the saddle flaps, Later accounts say that Jieuten- but ‘Wait ten after the scare. ENGLISH PUBLIC OPINION, The subject of the Prince’s death was refer- red to in the discussion of the English Parlia- ment. Sir R. Peel made an inquiry which seemed to reflect on Lord Chelmsford’s care of his charge. T®this Colonel Stanley said that he knew nothing of the precise position held by Prince Louis Napoleon, and could only repeat that Lord Chelmsford was in com- plete ignorance of the fact that the young vol- upteer had been sent on the mys- terious mission which proved so sadly fatal. “‘‘Officials,’’ says a London cor- respondent, *‘no less then independent mem- bers, condemn in fierce terms the foolhardi- _ hess of sending young men fromthe camp,and their fatal folly of smoking cigarettes in a mealie field in an enemy’s country. Lord | Beaconsfield attributes it to the same mistak- en self-confidence that lost us Isandula.’’ | Another correspondent says:—‘‘Part of the sympathy turns to indignation at the manner in which a war is being conducted which from Isandulato the death of VPrinee Louis has been a series of surprise for our side. The same message which records the death of the heir of the Napoleons tells also of another surprisein Basutoland leading to the massa- Tring of our men in their tents. It would seem as if everybody in South Africa were taking things so lightly and leisurely and con- temptuously as toomit the few precautions which are absolutely necessary. The only battle which which was not a surprise was Ginglihovo, and the relief of Ekowe is the only matter for English satisfaction that has occur- red since war was declared. If this sort of thing fgoes on much longer we shall be send- ing out officers and men to simple butchery.’’ The Dead at Isandula—A Visit to the Scene of the British Disaster. {From the London Daily News. ] At the top of the ascent, beyond the Bashee, which the Dragoon Guards crowned in dash- ing stvle, we saw on our left front, rising above the surrounding country, the steep, is- olated and almost inaccessible hill, or rather crag, Of Isandula, the contour of its rugged crest strangely resembling a side view of a couchant lion. On the lower neck of the high ground on its right were clearly visible up against the sky line the abandoned wagons of the destroyed column. No Zulus were seen. Flanking parties covered the hills on either side the track, along which the head of the column passed ata trot with small de- tachments of Natal Carabineers in front of the Dragoon Guards. Now we were down in the last dip, had crossed the rocky bed of the lit- tle stream, and were cantering up the slope that stretched up tothe crest on which were the wagons. Already tokens of the combat and bootless flight were apparent. The line of retreat toward Fugitive’s Drift, along which, through a clinkin the Zulu environment, our unfortunate comrades who thus far survived, tried to escape, lay athwart a rocky slope to our right front, with a precipitous ravine at its base. In this ravine dead men lay thick— mere bones, with toughened, dis- colored skin, like leather, covering them and clinging tight to them, the flesh all wasted away. Some were almost wholly dis- membered, heaps of clammy yellow bones. I forbear to describe the faces, with their black- ened features and beards blanched by rain and sun. Every man had been disemboweled. Some were scalped and others subjected to yet ghasther mutilation. The clothes had lasted better than the poor bodies they covered, and helped to keep the skeletons together. All the Wav up the slope I traced by the ghastly token of dead men the fitful line of fight. Most of the men hereabout were infantry of the Twenty-fourth. It was like a long string with knots in it, the string formed of single corpses, the knots or clusters of dead, where, as it seemed, little groups might have gathered to make a hopeless gal- lant stand and die.

Don Carlos Hassel- teno is in the other car,’’ said a friend to me last night while en reute here on the Wabash Railroad. I had heard so much of this Ohioan with a history that I went in the sleeping car to get an introduction. I found him a magnificent specimen of physical man- hood, perfect in manners and entertaining in the highest degree socially. His brilliant black eyes almost talked as he spoketof busi- ness, the state of crops. and almost “every subject but himself. But from my friend I learned a few of the leading incidents in the life of this man, which seem like fiction rather than a sketch of real life. Previous tothe war he graduated at Oxford, in Butler county,in the same class with THE GALLANT JOE BATTLE, who, with his brother, fell beside their father at Shiloh while fighting under the flag of the Lost Cause. After graduating de went to Hanilton and read law with Judge Clark, who acquired some notoriety at Hamilton by his advocacy of the right of secession in 1860-61. When the war came, Hasselteno determined to risk his fortunes with the Confederacy. He started South under the pretext of escorting to her husband in Tennessee Mrs. Battle, the wife of Adjutant Joe Battle, of the Sixth Ten- nessee. They passed south from Louisville on the last train which left that city before the war, andarrived safely at Nashville. From there young Hasselteno went to Montgomery, Ala., then THE CONFEDERATE CAPITAL, where he was appointed Major, and a little later Lieut.-Col., and was ordered to Pen- sacola, Florida. When that place fell into the hands of the National troops he was cap- tured, but within a day or two made his es- cape. His next point of duty was at Fort McHenry, from whence he went to Louisville ana bought for the Confederate troops a quan- tity of supplies, and succeeded in getting them safely within the Confederate lines, when GEN. GRANT was advancing upon Fort Donelson, he went out as a spy, and spent the most of three days 7 with the Federals. Being recognized, he was ordered to be shot at about 9o0’clock in the evening, but in the rain and darkness again made his escape, and reached the fort at day- light the next morning, drenched and almost frozen. But upon his report being heard, it was decided to evacuate the fort with most of the forces. FROM ISLAND NO. 10 he fell back to Memphis, and, believing that nothing would stay the victorious mareh of the Union arms, sent in his resignation, which was accepted. When the Federals occupied Memphis he remained there, trusting to nerve and luck to get away. ‘To his horror he learn- ed next day that Col. Alexander, of the Forty-eighth Indiana. with whom he was at college, was made Provost Marshal of the post, and that no one could leave the city ex- cept upon a pass issued by him. Hehadsome knowledge of French, and had grown quite a beard since leaying school and he determined to take the risk. Walking into the Colonel’s room, With many shrugs and gesticulations, he asked for a ‘‘Permissio San Loute,’’ and continued it with such vehemence that the Colonel finally said to his assistant, *‘Give the d—d Frenchman a‘pass toSt. Louis.’’ While going up the river HE WAS IN CONSTANT DREAD of recognition, but, fortunately, did not meet a soul whom he knew. Hardly had he landed when he met a former schoolmate and inti- mate friend from Hamilton, who was then an assistant engineer in the navy. His friend knew that he had gone South, and accused him of being in St. Louis asaspy. This he denied, and then told him all the details of his adventures, and finally appealed to his friend for advice as to what he should do, or where he should go, for he began to feel unsafe there. His friend advised him not to return to Hamilton, where he would be in certain danger,and finally suggest that he apply for an appointment as an ussistant engineer in the navy. ‘*Why. I don’t Know a steam-engine from a horse-power,’’ was his answer. But his. friend proposed to help him out, and provided bim with a lot of books which would teach him al) the theory, and at them he went, and in six weeks he went before the Examining Board and passed as a first assist- ant engineer, and was ordered to duty on the gunboat Essex, the flagship of COMMODORE PORTER, who was in command of the Mississippi River flotilla. This was jumping out of tht frying- pan into the fire. Ile knew nothing practic- ally of the engine; thinking then, as he tolda friend, ‘‘that the pumping engines must be for the purpose of moving the vessel side- ways.’’ But luck wason his side. While lying in port, or before going to duty, he got a few talks with Commodore Porter, aad suc- ceeded in getting promoted to the rank of Chief Engineer in the navy. and assigned to duty on the staff of the Commodore. If those who read this will take the trouble to read the report of THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY to Congress in 1864 they will find that that of- ficial transmitted to Congress that part of Commodore Porter’s report which embraces a report of Chief Engineer Hasselteno on the construction of iron-clad gunboats, and recommended the adoption of the report. After the close of the ill-fated RED RIVER CAMPAIGN . Hasselteno was ordered to St. Louis to 1n- spect and suverintend the construction of the iron-clads which were being built by McCord & Co. Butjust before leaving his yessel he had a quarrel with a fellow-oflicer, whom he challenged; but when the challenge was de- clined he opened on the other party witha battery of derringers, fortunately missing the object of hisaim. In 1865 he went to some European port and brought home A BLOCKADE RUNNER, the name of which I have forgotten. In the early part of 1866 he was mustered out of ser- vice, and went to New Orleans, intending to go into business. In the July riots in that city he was shot through the shoulder, and, thinking the climate unhealthy, went back to St. Louis. There be feil in with a represent- ative of the Government of Chili and went to South America... In the attack on Callao—for Peru and Chili were then at war—he fell into the hands of the Peruvians, and, with his usual luck, WAS SENTENCED TO BE SHOT. By bribing the guards he succeeded in escap- ing and, making his way on board of an En- glish vessel, was landed at Panama. Cress- ing the isthmus to Aspinwall he found a ves- sel ready to leave for New Orleans, and though without money managed to secure a passage to that place. * Without money he was raturally open for any adventure, and a representative of the Cuban rebellion was the first who offered him achance. He sailed di- rectly for Nuevitas, and before he had been in that port a week had falien in love with a young Cuban widow, who, though childless, was possessed of an immense plantation. After the briefest possible a they were married in the latter part of , or early in 1868, and within three months of the wedding she died from yellow fever, and be- fore the end of the year her estate, which he had inherited, was-confiscated, and he es- caped with his life barely, landing in Florida in an open boat andin a half-starved condi- tien ’ sWITHOUT FRIENDS OR MONEY. He managed to reach Indianapolis in July, 1869, when a naval acquaintance and friend, James Noble, gave him an outfit of clothes and money sufficient to take him to Chicago. Here he determined to locate. and went to work to find business. He gotan agency for the sale of coal, and soon had quite a start in the coal business. When THE CHICAGO FIRE broke out, on that dreadful Sunday night, he was out on the lake boating with a party of friends. When he got back the conflagration had swept away his little coal-pile. his office | and sleeping-room, and he was again left in ; } ly after reaching that piace he entered the ser- vice of the wholesale house of R. L. Billings- ley & Co., and remained with them until a year ago, when he purchased a farm in Illi- nois. This, be thinks, will not burn up or become involved in rebellion. A Tale of Fashioneble Life. (From Puck.) The night was stormy and dark—the wind most awfully blew; e’en the tramps, who snore sweetly in Madison Park till the hands of the ‘clock early morning do mark, by mid- night were frozen quite through. From a house on the Fifth avenue (wherein McGinnis did dwell), from 10 in the eve till 4 in the morn—from the darkness of night till the brightness of dawn—did the sounds of gay revelry swell. McGinnis was giving a hop on his charming daughéer’s birthday; from 10 in the eve till 4 was no stop of the whirl of the dance, of the wine’s fizz and pop; McGinnis was able to pav. The belles were lovely and fair, with their robes so costly and bright; but,nad-they spit- curls or bangs in their hair, not a maid in the room had the conquering air of Bella McGinnis that night. é She had bet a rather large stake ten laps of the gay,giddy dance in each quarter hour that night she would make,and a different beau for each ten she would take in order to lessen her chance. Her eyes were as bright as the day,and con- stantly peering around; as round tn the waltz her body would sway she’d look at the men in a languishing way until the next partner was found. She counted up laps with her feet; most honest and true was her score; but, as 4 0’ the clock was struck by the beil, she turned her last lap and suddenly fell—fell all ina heap on the floor. Alas forthe gambler who gains! To her bed the maiden they bore. And now she is full of weakness and pains, and rheumatic — and varicose veins. She’ll never make aps any more. - — PITH OF THE FOREIGN PRESS. ——— Mr. Shaw, the British Resident at Mandelav, the Burmese capital, died a short time ago.

The same lack of true cleanliness appears in our streets. While the unoffending dust is carefully dug from between the paving stones in the middle of the street, and diligently swept into our eyes, the gutters are left full of a recking, noisome filth that * ‘smells to heay- en.’’ It ts the oid story of ‘‘making clean the outside of the platter.’ Now, may I be allowed the question whether any one believes that f women had in charge the cleaning of New York it would remain as filthy as it now is?’ Parisisa clean eity; but the Celtic branch of the Caucasian race is called the feminine element, and France the iady of the family.

The Tragic End of an American Diver in the Thames—Hanged in Ear- nest. {From the London Telegraph. ] A still more appalling leap than taken suc- cessfully in 1829 by Sam Patch has lately been made bya Canadian named Harmon Peer, from one of the twosuspension bridges which span the gulf into which Niagara river falls. * * * * * o 7 a * Atthe same time itis impossible to deny that other American divers- had heretofore prepared us for the possibility of descending with safety into the water from great heights, and there are many still living in the metro- polis who cah remember the feats performed in 1841 by an American swimmer named Samuel Scott, who was inthe habit of diving from the top of Waterloo bridge into the ‘Thames— A FALL OF ABOUT FORTY FEET, The unfortunate man had accustomed him- self to go through many fantastic tricks before throwing himself:in the river, and for this purpose he had caused a scaffold to be erected immediately over the second arch of Waterloo bridge, Somerset-house side. In order to in- crease fhe sensational features of his exhibi- tion, Sam Scott was in the habit of thrusting his neck into the noose of a swinging rope, and suspending himself after the manner of 4 man who is being hanged by the neck. Upon the 11th of January, 1841, he ascended the scaf- fold as usual, and seizing the rope placed it round his neck, exclaiming at the top of his voice, **‘Now Dll show you once more how to dance upon air before I dive.*’ With his head in the running noose he let himself down to the extremity of the rope and HUNG THERE FOR THREE OR FOUR MINUTES. ne of the spectators, who was intimate with the exhibitor, shouted out that his friend had hanged himself in reality, and a cry of ‘‘Cut him down, ”’ ascended from the crowd. Some thoments elapsed before a knife was forthcom- ing, and when the unbappy man was rescued, it was found that animation was suspended. He was carried with all possilde speed to the Charing Cross hospital, and though life was not entirely extinguished, the utmost efforts of the surgeon in attendance were unable to save him. The jugular vein was opened and he was placed in a_ warm bath, but before many minutes had passed it was discovered that he was dead. Since that day Londoners have seen others throw themsefves safely from the bridges of our metropolitan river and off the mastheads of vessels moored in the stream, but po such leaps as those taken at Niagara by Sam Patch and Harmon Peer have ever been attempted in this country. It may be re- served for Harmon Peer, if he successfully repeats his adventurous feat upon the next h of July, which is said to be his inten- to startle the public by a perforarance of this kind. no less than Blondin has long done by his marvelous achievements upon the tight-rope. ANOTHER TALKING MACHINE. Edison's Electro-Chemical Telephone Exhibited. (From the New York Sun, July 1.) Some twenty or thirty friends of Mr. Thos. A. Edison and members of the press visited Menlo Park, New Jersey, vesterday after- noon, and witnessed an exhibition of the new electro-chemical telephone which he is about putting on the European market. It is claimed that the telephones at present in use do not speak loudly-enough or articulate distinctly enough for commercial adoption in Europe, owing to the electrical peculiarities of the old world, and that Edison’s new telephone an- swers the need. The chief characteristic of it is that it dis- penses with the magnet, whieh is covered by the Bell and Gray patents, and substitutes for it the carbon button in the transmitter, and a révolvingceviinder of moistened chalk in the re- eeiver, both the invention of Edison. This telephone was exhibited yesterday. It speaks loud and strong, so that the message is heard over alarge room. By adevice added during the last week, the voice is even magni- tied in passage, so that it is delivered to the . Puditor jouder than it was received by the in- eee ‘ie “court, . **elegance and grace’? of the affair. strument.Itis also practicable through]jany dis- tance that can be covered by other telephones. The chemical used to moisten tbe spool of chalk is caustic soda, which is polarized, and in this lies 1ts magical power. The machine is yoeal only when the cylinéer of chalk turned on its little shaft by the person con- versing, the electric current coming up ee is | workmen struck petroleum, and considerable interest is manifested thereat.

[From the London News, June 19. ] The will of the late Baron Lionel de Roth- schild is understood to be sworn under £2,- 700,000, deceased, and is dated July St. Swithin’s lane. 24, 1865, New- cupies two ordinary which were sewn together with silk and sealed. His sons, Sir Nathaniel de Roth- schild and Mr. Alfred de Rothschild, are the executors of the will. The testator leaves to his wife £100,000, and a life interest of £59- 000, arising from the houses at Frankfort and in London, together with the residence in Pic- cadily, and the estate at Gunnersbury. A re- quest is made that ‘‘my good wife’’ shall give £10,000 to Jewish charities and £5,000 to oth- rs. Annuities (in connection with which the mother is to exercise discretionary power) are made in favor of sons and daughters; and the testator expresses a hope that they will be kind to their mother. who had been kind to | them and him also. Too his two brothers (since dead) he bequeathed asum of £1,000 ach to purchase something in re membr: nce of him—‘‘a picture or anything else.’’ The testator thanked God for the success and prosperity that attended him, and hoped the same guiding hand would direct his sons. Ex- cepting the immediate *members of his own family, above referred to, no other name or legacy is mentioned in the wili. We under- stand that there are some imperfect attestation clauses in the will,and marginal notes iniend- ed forinsertion, but not signed. The testator advises his sons of the happy unity that exist- ed between him and his two brothers,to which he attributes the success of the firm,and hopes that the same kind feeling will continue to gaintain the position of the house. a el a Splitting the Difference.

Nearly all the farmers are through cutting wheat, which yielded an average croy and no more. The upland oats crop looks well, and will be far ahead of what was anticipated.

[From the Medical and Surgical Reporter. |] In Prussia there result from 100 marriages 460 children, while in Francethere are about 300. The number of births per 100 individu- als of the total population is in Prussia 3.98, and only 2.55in France. The annual excess of births over deaths per 1,000,000 inhabitants is 15,000 in Prussia and 2,400 in France. It results from the above figures that doubling the population in France requires 170 years, while this jp effected in Prussia in forty-two years. ® LOTTERIES.

The Revolution in Full Blast—Everybody ‘*‘Pronouncing.’’ {From the San Francisco Chronicle. ] By the steamer Newbern we have the latest dates from the bordering Mexican states. Af- fairs in Sonora are in avery unsettled condit- ion. There is tobe a general election for a change of all civil employes. The news from the state of Sinaloa is still more alarming. Gov. Francisco Canedo was reportedto have left Culeacan, the capital, for Mazatlan, to make his authority as chief executive in tho latter place respected. Ie had only reached Elota, however, where he awaited forces to entorce his authority. A report was current that Canedo fied in the night-time to escape assas- sination. Those informed in Mexican affairs will remember that Goy. Canedo was charged with being instigator of the assassination of Don Jose Valades, 2 Mazatlan editor, an event whichis yet fresh inthe memory of the people of Sinaoa. The news from Chihuabna is to the effect that Col. Francisco Basterreches had pronounced against Gov. Frias of that state. The federal au- thorities there had written to the City of Mex- ico stating that a revolution had broken eut in various parts of the State, and help was imme- diately needed. It is believed that Diaz has all he can do to watch the movements of Gen. Negrete, the military chief of the revolution- ts. The intelligence received from the State of Zacatecas is positive that Gov. Garcia de la Cadéna had defied the authority of Diaz, and ould use the whole power of the State to maintain his position against whatis termed ederat usurpation. Private ictters, reports and newspapers re- ived from the interior by parties residing in Mazatlan, convey the ideathat the condition of affairs is alarming. The garrison at Monterey is reported as being in a bad condition. Gen. Mariano Jimenez, of Oajaca fame, is expected at Muzatian te take command of the Federal forces there. Nothing was known in Sinaloa of the murder of the Governor of Nuevo Leon bya party of revolutionists. A PURE, wholesome medicine, Reed's Gilt Edge Tonic. How George Celebrated the Day.

He will go onto his home at Kansas City to-night. He is looking ex- eeedingly well, and his Senatorial experience has undoubtedly had a favorable effect. His room was crowded with visitors most of the morning, and it was next to impossible for a reporter to get at him. The following interview was secured in snatches, but gives a fair idea of the bril- liant Senator’s opinions on several of the leading political topics of the hour: In speaking of the NEGRO EXODUS, he took occasion to refer to the Henderson business. He said he did not regard it as a piece of impropriety to quote in his speech what Henderson had said to him, in the lobby of the Senate. He had asked Henderson why he had signed that pa- per, and he replied that he really did not no- tice what was in it. The paper had been drawn up by Gen. Noble, and he therefore supposed it to be all right, but that he had not seen the ne- groes at all. He had only heard what they said. Vest asked him if he believed what the negroes swore to, andtold him that he had been raised in a Slave State, was born in Vir- ginia, and knew that a negro farm hand could be induced to SWEAR TO ANYTHING. | ‘*Yes,’’ said Vest, ‘‘some of them could be persuaded to swear that you had eaten their babies—cut them up-in pieces, and broiled them in your own kitchen.’’ Mr. Vest says the Northern Republican Sen- ators do not know anything about the negroes, and that the exodus is a purely political move- ment. In speaking of Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, he referred to the report that Senators Hill and Vance were trying to avoid an investiga- tion of the election -of Ingalls, that they had been bought up by Jay Gould, etc., and said the rumor was a slander. They both felt a delicacy in going into it becduse Ingalls was on the Committee of Elections withthem. ‘‘It was,’’ said Mr. Vest, ‘‘a matter of courtesy, and this thing of courtesy scarried too farin the Senate. If Mr. In- galls had felt A PROPER RESPECT for the remainder of the com mittee he would have not gone on it in the beginning or resign- ed when he learned that the investigation was probable.’” The Senator was asked what he thought of the fate of his silver resolution. ‘*We will pass it next fall.’’ said he; ‘‘we will pass it sure. We would have passed it the other day if either Bailey, Ransom or Wade Hampton had been there. They all told me they would pave voted for it, but they came in just after the vote had been taken. The vote of either would have carried the resolu- tion. It will pass this fall without a douvt.’’ ‘*What do.you think ofthe attitude of MR. BAYARD ON THE SILVER QUBSTION?”?’ **Bayard had decided at one time to vote for my resolution, but he changed his mind. Hud a long talk with him on the subject, and he looks atit from the standpoint of-an Eastern man. He knows nothing of the conditienand the needs of the Western people. Iam in favo. of paying the bondholders in the money they agreed to take—that is the old silver dollar or its equivalent. The old silver dollar had 112 1-2 grains. Bayard is willing to haye silver provided the dollar shall be made equal in value to a gold dollar. He wants'a silver dollar to have 140 grains; I want it to be 112 1-2. That is just the difference between us, and it is irreconcilable. I think a si'ver dollar is one thing and a gold dollar is another.’’ ‘*What are Bayard’s chances for the Presi- dential nomination?’’ ‘-None; there 1s not the least prospect of his nomination.’’ ‘*What of Tildea?’’ ‘*Tilden hasn’t three friends Con- gress, and he will never receive another Democratic nomination for Presi- dent.’’ ‘*Who is THE COMING MAN???’ ‘*Thurman. He is the strongest man we haye, and he has the best chance for the nomi- nation. Ohio is going Democratic, and that will put Thurman right to the front.’’ ‘*But is there not some bad feeling between Thurman and Ewing and the friends of each?’’ ‘*‘No. That’s all settled. I have talked frequently with Ewing. Iam his friend, and I know how matters stand. There is no trouble between them, and Ewing’s election means the advancement of Thurman,’’ **What do you think of BINGHAM’S LETTER to Gratz Brown?’’ ‘*Well, I think itthe height of impudence for Bingham to put himself up as a political censor. Heisa pretty man totalk about the democracy of other people. He not 4 Democrat and never one, That picture he paint- ed about Ewing’s Order No. 11 is an in- famous thing, and has done more harm than anything I know of. It perpetuates that which we ought to forget. The mantle of ob- livion must be thrown ever the deeds of that frightful border wartfare.’’ in is was A FOURTH OF JULY ORATION. An Advance Report ofthe Address De- livered at Springfield, Mass., To-day by Ex-Gov. Dainel H. Chamberlain of South Carolina. Fellow citizens: I have been asked, asa Southerner, to address you of the North on this anniversary day of the birth of our com- mon Union. As a Southerner I deeply feel the significance of the request. Could our representative men be brought more frequent- ly into contact with the masses of your peo- ple; could we oftener meet, as to-day, to ex- change congratulations on the permanency of the glorious fabric which our fathers builded, and to join in the expression of senti- ments appropriate to this occasion, I know that much of the misunderstanding, jealousy and suspicious hatred that now alien- ate the sections would disappear like the sul- phuroussmoke of yonder cannon that lately boomed. Therefore, I come willingly-and frankly, inthe true spirit of the Fourth of July, bringing to Massachusetts the friendly and sisterly greeting of my own beloved South Carolina. ) For South Carolina, the State of my adop- tion and choice, is also the State of my love. Born and bred elsewhere, with family ties and domestic associatiens elsewhere, I, never- theless, yielded up to her my love and loyalty whenI entered her palmetto-fringed borders in the dark days of reconstruction. I went there without money, without political influence, without previous ac- quaintance with the people among whom I had cast my lot, but fortified with a strong moral purpose,and animated by a sacred missionary spirit. I stood by South Carolina through all the vicissitudes of the experiment of universal suffrage—an experi- > ment fraught with much personal danger, but ’ of transcendantly great importance to civiliz- ation. I stood by South Carolina while her citizens grew poorer: and poorer; and only left her whiph unavoidable tirqumstances com- pelied the painful separation of our ways. It is true that my residence is no longer in South Carolina; true that my professional and personal interests now center elsewhere; yet my heart is still there, and an indictment for felony committed within her borders still binds me to her sunlit groves and smiling cities with a bond of exceeding strength. Therefore, as a repfesentative South Caro- linian, 1 thank you mén of Massachusetts for the compliment which you have paid to my cherished Stafe. An exile thanks you from the bottom of his loyal heart. Whatever may have been my political course during the hap- y and eventful years a at Columbia, I eel that I-at least brought away the affection- ate solicitude of my neighbors. I feel that they remember me, and will continue to re- member me. I know that they are anxious to get me back. I know that they recall my disinterested acts as Attorney-General and af- terward as reform Governor with emotions of the liveliest character. They never can and never will forget the days when I, surrounded by men like Moses and Par- ker and Neagle and Cardozo and Hon- est John ?atterson, but dominating them all by the force of intellect and purity of motive, exercised a permanent influence upon the destinies ofthe beloved State. They still recall my official utterance, lofty. ringing and patriotic as when I wrote, ‘‘*There is an in- definite verge for expansion of power before us. Itis proposed to buy $350,000 worth of Greenville and Columbia stock. This, with the $433,000 of stock held by the State, will give complete control to us. We shall have in G. & C. 168 miles, in Laurens 31, and in S. & U. 70 miles—in all 269 miles—equipped and running, Puta first mortgage of $20,000 a mile on this, sell the honds at 85 or 90, and the balance, after paying all outlays for costs and repairs, is immense—over $2,000,000. - There is a mint of money in this—or I am a fool!’’ Nor can it ever be forgotten that at the darkest hour of South Carolina’s darkest day, when a burden of debt was crushing the peo- ple of South Carolina to the earth and grind- ing their estates and homesteads into dust, when the black cloud of a State debt of } twenty-six millions filled the whole sky and darkened the future, when able financiers like Parker and Moses and Cardozo were in despair, when the people were on the point of revolution, I, clear-headed and _ self-pos- sessed, the ruling spirit of the storm, flooded Wall street with fraudulent paper and calmly wrote to Kimpton in my letter of September 3, 1870, the memorable words: **Do the com- missions foot up pretty well? Eh!’’ Fellow-citizens of Massachusetts, do you wonder that the people of South Carolina are anxious to get me back? But it cannot be. An inexoraBle fate and a very considerable interest in my own personal liberty keep me far away from her beloved borders. I must | remain an exile, coysoling myself as best I can with the mitigating reflection that John Patterson was wrong—there is no more good stealing in South Carolina.

[Signed] undonbtedly THE COMMITTEE. POPE’S PLANS. — Work to be Commenced at Once on the New Theater. - = The {nterior Arrangements—The Stage—En- trances—Orchestra, Etc. As the readers of the P.-D. already know, St. Louis is to have a new theater. At last everything has been fixed and settled, and the Church of the Messiah is to be transformed into another house forthe drama. On Mon- day next work will be commenced on the Uni- tarian cdifice at the corner of Ninth and Olive, and all the alterations, additions, etc., will be completed in time for the theater to be opened on September 29. The spire and tower of the church will be entirely removed. The interior walls will also be torn down. The. floor will be sunk six feet lowerthan the present one at the orchestra. The roof will remain with new trusses but the pointed ceiling will be con- verted into a level one. There will also bea large dome in the ceiling-which will be twenty feet in diameter. The entire building will have a depth of 150 feet from Olive street and a clear, interior depth of 69 feet 9 inches. The main entrance will be on Olive street, protected by an iron gateway. It will be 25 feet square and will form asplendid vestibule. To the west of the vestibule will be the mana- ger’s private office, fronting on}Olive strect, with a width of five feet. Then on either side come two stores, the one atthe corner of Ninth and Olive streets being 21x25 and the other 18x27. The auditorium will be 78 feet deep. The | DRESS CIRCLE AND PARQUETTE, ° on the ground floor, something after the man- ner Of De Bar’s. The entrances and exits will be more numerous than those of any theater in the country. In addition to the wain one there will be two entrances on Ninth, and two leading to the open alley on the west side. The door-ways will be twelve feet wide, so that incase of fire or other alarm, the audience will be able to leave the house in two or three minutes; altogether there are five entrances. There will be two tiers be- sides the ground one—the first will be the family circle and the second the = gallery. Entrance to the first tier will be ®y two interior stairways each six feet wide. The gallery entrance will be built out on the alleyway on the west side the stairway being five feet in width. The seats will be iron-folding chairs of the most approved and latest patent.

Cooling drinks carried the day. Young America makes his mark to-day. The prizes for the cavalry tournament are $100 and $50. 7 The business streets below Fourth were en- tirely deserted. : A grand moonlight picnic will be held at Forest Park to-night. Things howled at the Union aud Main Street Depots throughout the day. A great many will celebrate to-night by moonlight excursions on the river. The Governor’s Guard, from Springfield. Ill., will take part in the sham fight. Thirty thousand rounds of blank eartridges will be used at Cote Brilliante this afternoon. The Kirkwood gallants did not respond to _ invitation to participate in the sham bat- tie. Fourth and Fifth streets were lined with sight-seers.in the cool portion of the morn- ing. . The river presented a gay appearance to- — & All the boats at the wharf were deco- rated. A thorough inspection of arms and cartridge boxes will be held by Col. Leigh O. Knapp, Inspector General. During the storm to-day the flag-staff on the City Hall was blown down and broken in- to a dozen pieces. The street car lines leading to the Fair Grounds and the Race Course raked in the shekels very liyely. : The venders of small patents that occupy the doors of the Fourth street stores, did a rush- ing business this morning. One freak of the storm was to blow down the big signof the Times Clothing House, just south of the POsT-DISPATCH oftice. The Franklin avenue and QOlive street cars (via Narrow Gauge Railroad) are running every minute from Fourth street to the sham battle. The only sour-looking persons on the streets were those that missed their excursion trains and boats and had their tickets safely in their pockets. ' During the storm at noon to-day a large piece of ceiling in the Police Reserve’s room fell on the boys and made them scatter livelier than a real battle. If it is really true that the limbs come back to the bodies on Resurrection Day there will be a lively time finding the missing fingers that departed on the Fourth of July. The storm did considerable damage in the vicinity of the Four Courts. A half-dozen ay ty in the building were broken, and five trees were blown down in Washington Square. An old-fashioned barbecue will be given by the citizens of Florissant on the grounds of Charles Fortin. inthe evening there will be a ball and fireworks. The last train will re- turn at ill p.m. A great many pistols that wouldn’t ‘‘go off’’ after six trials to-day went off ‘*the first pop’’ after the small boy got his thumb fairly over the mouth, and more tham that, the thumb ‘‘went off too.’’ Otto Kipp was prostrated by the extreme heat while employed at Ittner’s brickyard, on Shenandoah street. near Oregon averfue, at 6 o’clock yesterday afternoon. He was re- moved to his boarding-house, at No. 2607 Gravois road, where he was restored by Dr. Buck. Allen Morrison took out his Fourth of? July pistol at the home of his parents, No, 921 Col- lins street,at 10 o’clock this morning and snap- ped it to see if it was loaded. It was and two- thirds of his left thumb was shot off when the hammerfell. Allen was taken to the dispen- sarv, where Dr. Carson fixed up the stub and sent him to his home. It took Dr. Robinson just thirty minutes to pick the powder out of Joe. Murphy’s face and eyes between 8 and 9 o’clock this morn- ing. The lad lives nearthe corner of Four- teenth and Biddle streets and was looking down into an old horse pis- tol charged with powder, when it was accidentally discharged. Dr. Robinson finally got him plastered up,gave him a moral lecture and sent him back to his parents. noun THE DAY ELSEWHERE. _——_— New York. NEW YORK, July 4.—Although scores of thousands left New York and hied them to the suburbs, but, as countless thousands pour in from Brooklyn, Jersey City, Newark and other provincial places, there, was no perceptible difference in the population. The day in town was celebrated by the ringing of bells, the firing of cannon and the chimes of Trinity Church. The military parade and the regular turnout of the Veterans of 1812, was the only formal official recognition of the day. The display of bunting was very geueral. The Ancient Society of Tammany held their reguiar meeting in the council cham- ber ofthe Great Wigwam—in other words, Gulp 4, 187 es band. —~ Prayer of Chaplain, W. G. F. Wallace.

C. | Clark, grand marshals, and marched out to the ground east of the town, where ‘the remainder of the pro- gramme was carried out. One of the attractions was the rope-walking-of James Willey, alias Sig. Montanio. A rope was stretched from the top of the Court-house to the top of Culver and Young’s store, and Sig.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. LEBANON, ILL., July 4.—The glorious Fourth is celebrated here in first-class style. The streets are thronged with visitors, and everything wears a gay and brilliant aspect. A grand procession was formed, in which most of our prominent citizens participated. Pos- tlewaite’s band, from St. Louis, furnished the music. The parade marched through the streets to Keitel’s Park, where the Declara- tion of Independence was read in German by E. A. Angelrodt. A lady afterwards read it in English. Addresses were then delivered by S. M. Bailey. J. D. Baker, Martin Schaeffer and the Hon. G. Vanhoorebeke. The crowd then passed the time pleasantly in games, music and dancing. St. Joe, Mo. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ST. JOE, MoO., July 4.—There was no or- ganized attempt to celebrate the day in this city, and the various societies, etc., made ar- rangements of their own. At the St. Joe Driving Park was the principal attraction,and the people thronged there in numbers to wit- ness the races. A grand excursion was made to King City. over the Narrow Gauge Railroad, which has just been com- pleted. A select and fashionable moonlight sociable will be held at the resi- dence of D. H. Winton. At Ulm Park an oration was delivered by John’S. Crosby, and in the evening fireworks will be let off. At the City Hall this evening there will bea grand ball. Memphis, Tenn. By Western Associated Press. MEMPHIS, TENN., July 4.—The day is generally being observed. The streets are crowded with visitors; flags are fiving from many buildings, and the city presents a holiday appearance. At10o0’clock this morning the fire department, under Chief Michael Me- Fadden, paraded the principal streets and af- the hall of the building on Fourteenth street. The Seventh regiment band played, Grand | Sachem Augustus Schell welcomed the au- | dience, Brother H. A. Gumbleton read the Declaration of Independence, Lieutenant- Governor Dorsheimer made a ‘‘long talk,’’ and short talks followed from the impassioned lips of John T. Morgan, Richard T. Merrick, Erastus Brooks, Judge McAdam, William R. toberts, Hosea B. VDerkins and others, the whele concluding with the singing of the ‘*Star Spangled Banner,’’ led by Comptroller Kelly, Isaiah Rynders, Philip F. Sullivan, the society and the audience. Naturally all the parks and places of public resort were open and thronged. In the Har- lem Club Grounds the athletié games began at 9% in the morning. ‘In the Adelphi Club Grounds, in the after- noon, there were runs, hurdle racing, walks, hammer throwing, putting shot, pole vaulting and sack racing. The fifth annual games of the Scottish- American Clubs attracted much attention. Among other amusements there were races, runnings, walks, hurdle races, high leaps, high jumps, throwing hammers, putting shot, pole vaulting and tugs of war with four and six men. Extra matinees were givenin all the thea- ters now open. In addition to these there were other entertainments appropriate to the occasion. While country cousins from Brooklyn, Po- dunk and other adjacent places have founa their pleasure in coming to the metropolis, and viewing its parks, buildings and sights, thousands of New Yorkers embraced the op- portunity to get out of town, and on one or another of the vast number of excursions seek the rest and comfort that the water grants. There has never been a year when such a varied programme was offered to the man whose thoughts turn away from brick and mortar. Falling as the Fourth dees on Fri- day there was a general desire to extend its holiday prerogative over to the following Monday. Friday, Saturday and Sunday out of fown and away from business gives the man of labor a term of rest most appreciable. The Cotton Exchange closed on ‘Thursday and wiil not reopen until Monday. The Stock Exchange will not be open on Sat- urday. The Produce Exchange adopted a, similar resolution. Nearly all the leading houses inthe more prominent branches of The exedus to eney Island, Rockaway and Long Branch was phenomenal. Nearly fifty steamboats, in additiun to the ferry myriad, are at the sere vice of the common people. Sedalia, Mo. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SEDALIA, MOo., July 4.—This is a regular gala day.

The Lexington Branch brought in pleasure seekers from one end of the line to the other. Nearly everybody came along the line of the M., K. & T. as far south as FortjScott and as far north as Hannibal. No pains or expense haye been spared to make this occasion one of the grandest and most entertaining ever Witnessed in Central Missouri. As showmen say, there is a **perfect wilderness of canvas’’ to protect the people from the rays of the sun or expos- ure torain. Thehuge canvas used by Dan Rice’s circus is stretched, and it is estimated that shelter is provided for ten thousand per- sons. At daybreak thirteen guns wore fired and at sunrise thirty-eight. A grand procession formed at Smith’s Hall at 10:30, and marched to the fair grounds, where the following or- } der of exercises were gone through: | tion of the day here. terwards gave an exhibition of the throwing power of the fire steamers.

The day thus far Let the bagle Sereda Seventeen hundred and seventy-six years ago our forefathers fit, bled and died that we might to-day enjoy the priv- ilege of having a sham fight “‘jpst to please the children.”’ Where would we have been were it not for Robinson Crusoe, Lucy Stone, 0’Leary, Hanlan, the Police Reserves and the ‘‘Famous’’? This is a momentous question. Think of the millions in the region of the Upper Nile, who would give tons of Elephant tusks for our $3.50 suits, or a twenty carat diamond for a pair of our pants we sellfor $1.50. Consider the privileges you enjoy in this great and glorious land of liberty, where peace reigns supreme, where the battles of to-day are to be fought with baked beans and fish balls, where you can take your Isabel with you and see the deadly strife, with one of our DOLLAR SHIRTS, and feel as free from the fear of being assassinated as King of Clubs at a whist party. The ‘‘Famous’’ to-day is with you, but to-morrow we shall be by ourselves, open and ready to dispense the choice things to all who may come tous. To leave St. Louis without seeing our new store will cause you re- grets that may injure your happiness for years.
