A few minutes after 10 o’ clock this morning Conrad Spitzfaden, a once prominent wine merchant of this city, fired two shots into his head at his residence, No. 1709 Jackson street, inflicting injuries from which he died one hour and fifteen minutes later. A POosT- DISPATCH reporter received intelligence of the attempt at suicide at 11 o’clock and hastened to the designated number to find that the at- tempted suicide was one in reality, and that Mr. Spitzfaden had breathed his last. The deceased and his family, consisting of his wife and motheys, occupied the second story of the building, and in the parlor, surrounded by a sniall knot of the’ neighbors, the body was found lying on a sofa.

The basket and ropes were wet as though they had dragged through water. There were blood marks on one af the ropes and akid glove a vet bow sere found ta the basket.

The carriages of many of the best people of the city were drawn up on the ample grounds, presenting a most interestirg and picasing spectacle. The large house was brilliantly lighted, almost every room being occupied by some happy party, while the long portivoes were also crowded with ladies and gentlemen who preferred to take their refreshments in the open air. Col. Coo! Herbert is a genius of rare growth. There never was and never will be another man in St. Louis like him. W hen- ever he touches an enterprise it prospers as if by magic. It should be added that he entertained Hon. Martin L. Clardy, member of Congress from the First District, last Thursday evening in a most magnificent style. Death of Mrs. Samuel C. Davis. The large store of Samuel C. Davis & Co., corner of Fifth street and Washington avente, was closed to-day in consequence of the death of Mrs. Samuel C. Davis, the wife of the senior member of the firm, which occurred at Boston, Mass., ths morning. Though for some time previous to her death Mrs. Davis resided in Boston, paying St. Louis only am occasional visit, she is well known here. During her residence in St. Louis she identified herself with a number of charitable institutions and projects. Her memory will be cherished by the hundreds benefited by ber opem heart. Mr. John T. Davis, ber son, will leave to-night for Boston to attend the funeral, which will take place next Tuesday. An Ouner Wanted. About 9 o’eclock last evening a pair of bay horses attached toa carriage containing four men were driven down Page avenue at a pres- ty lively gait. When they reached the corner of Page and Spring avenues, one of the horses fell and died in a few minutes. The four men deserted the rig, and neither their names nor whereabouts could be ascertained, Of- ficers Pelzer and Blodgett came along soon afterwards and took the one hoarse and car- riage to Monshan’s livery stable, on Easton avenue, where they await an owner.

THOMPSON'S reception on board li. M. S. Wachusett has been indefinitely postponed. Ir has been satisfactorily demonstrated that the Mississippi is not navigable for ocean steamers. Even old Thompson, of the navy, knows that much now, and it is ‘ more than he ever knew before. SENATOR BAyarD will sail for Europe in a few days, spend the summer in Carlsbad, a famous watering place in Bohemia, and return in October. It is on account of Mrs. Bayard, whose health is very delicate, the Senator feels compelled t go abroad. -_-—- OUR immortal Re: heavis delivered a Fourth of July oration at Beardstown, Ill., which closed with the following heavenly words: The stars below are emblematic of the stars above. The stars below are symbols of the government of man. The stars above are symbols of the government in which dwells and reigns the infinite God. WE are willing to believe that Chicago is the admirable summer resort which the Chicago papers describe, but it cannot get up arace track to hold a candle to ours.

It mentions the following candidates: T. T. Critten- den, Thos. A. Holladay, John Walker, - Erastus Wells, John F. Phillips, Charles H. Mansur, John B. Hale, Thomas Hockaday, John F. Williams and R. P. C. Wilson But we doubt whether many of these gentlemen will remain in the field after the battle has commenced in earnest. Colonel Crittenden, we understand, will not be a candidate at all, having concluded to go ly preter the Phillips, of Sedalia, t loug would no doubt deve strength of any of the gentlen Unless some new name should be presented like that of Congressman Clark, it looks very decidedly as if Colonel Phillips would be the next Governor of Missouri. Anda most able and upright Governor he would be. Our esteemed and venerable contempo- rary the Republican seems to go to Arkan- ‘sas for Senatorial comfort. This morning it has the following editorial notice: ‘‘Hon. James D. Walker, United States Sen- ator from Arkansas, on his return from ‘Washington remained over a day or two in St. Louis, and, of course, dropped in upon his personal and political friends of the Republi- can. The new Senator, of whom the people of Arkansas feel particularly proud,’’ etc., etc. Now it so happened that the brilliant Sen- ator of Missouri was in the city at the very time, but there is no allusion to him. As Sen- ator Walker, ‘‘of course, dropped in upon his personal and political friends of the Republican,’’ the inevitable inference is that Senator Vest, ‘‘of course, dia not drop in upon’’ our venerable contemporary be- cause it was neither his personal nor politi- cal friend. Mr, Treacy TURNERELLI, a Tory busy- body in England, is in trouble because he has collected penny subscriptions from British workingmen and paid for a laurel crown in solid gold to be presented to En- gland’s premier, Beaconsfield. Beaconsfield has intimated 1n the most heartless manner that he don’t want any such blasted non- sense, and has insinuated that Turnerelli wants an office, and, therefore, sadness sits on the soul of the snubbed Turnerelli. Our advice to him would be to pack his trophy, take ship for this country, rapidly cross the continent to San Francisco, and wait on the wharf to welcome our ex-dictator, U. S. Grant, and present him with the bauble. If Turnerelli Jon’t get his office it will be because Grant don’t gethis, and if he does get an office it ought to be a good one. The generous dictator, who conferred a mar- shalship in acknowledgment of a present of a pair of bull-pups, could hardly do less than give a foreign mission in exchange for a fifteen hundred-dollar piece of jewelry. It occurs to us that the Rev. Dr. Boyd is not showing the spirit he is generally sup- posed to possess in his silence under the charges of heterodoxy recently brought against him by his brother ministers. Ver- his church dees not haps he has been advised by trustees to keep quiet, but if he believe it crime to be an ecclesiasti- cal to fraternize with the Jews in religious worship, he ought to The intelligent public are no doubt Boyd, but the this liberal to his unsectarian acts.

SOCIALISM. Few people who thoughtlessly repeat prejudiced phrases against the Socialists have the least idea what Socialism really is. Of course, we do not mean the froth and farce of coarse, corrupt and criminal Com- munism. But we do mean the modern principle of society and government which taxes one individual for the benefit of the other, the comparatively new principle of taxing one particular class of society for the sole benefit of another particular class. A century ago people would have looked with amazement at the Collector of Taxes who demanded that A should pay for the education of B’s children. Yet this is the law to-day, and A has to pay though he may have no children at all, and though his school tax may be large enough to educate a hundred or even a thousand of his neighbors’ children This is the principle of Socialism. A century ago the principle of govern- ment or taxation was certainly unknown by which A should pay not only for the ed- ucation of B’s children but also for B’s wife being in the lunatic asylum, or B him- self being in the hospital. Yet this, under the progress of modern ideas, is the law to-day. This is really the principle of Socialism. There is a great deal in the principles of Socialism, however repulsive many of their champions may be, that merits serious though. ——— —_ EDWARD LEwWIs, while suffering from an at- tack of delirium tremens, was brought to the Chestnut Street Station ana locked up, yester- day evening.

Both Democrat and Republican make their bay while the sun shines, and in the season when it shines hottest, Cincinnati Commercial: We would be very glad to see a channel of thirty feet at the mouth of the Mississippi River. We do not believe that a channel of that depth has been obtained. There is a system of sounding that we believe unreliable, and of averages of soundings from which the ‘‘thirty feet’’ channel is worked out. The water is net there when the ships go. The navigation that flourishes is that leading into the United States Treasury. Eads hasa thirty foot channel in that direction, and no- where elise. Louisiana Journal (Dem.): We admire the high standard our contemporary demands for the standard-bearer of the party; one ‘*whose purity of character looms way above the ordi- pary scheming politician;’’ but as Mr. Bayard openly and squarely places himself against four-fifths of his party on the silver question, we hope the Post- DIsrpaATcH will be enabled to find his equivalent in political character among the bimetallic standard statesmen. Mr. Bay- ard is notthe only pure one. Indeed,to say that heis would be a poor commentary on Democratic statesmen. In all her external relations the countrv is honored and lookeé to for an example and in- spiration by foreign people if not their rulers. On no side are there any signs of danger.

The Indians say that, after the general stampede, Custer tried to rally his men around him. He waved his pistol in the air, and shot it off twice, to attract his men. Two or three gathered around him, but as the Indians continued to advance, one of the sol- diers tried to run away. Custer fired at him and killed him, and then, seeing the case quite hopeless, the Indjans gathered around from all parts, turned his revolver on himself, preferring to die by his own hand. The Indians say that they think this person was Custer, as he wasa chief; but they are not certain of the fact. Rain-in-the-Face took a soldier prisoner, but he was not allowed to live long, as he was killed ata dance that fol- lowed the fight. The Indians here all agree in one thing—that the number of Indians kill- ed in the fight was thirty-six; they give their names. is of Scheme and St. Louisans at Sweet Springs.

For the time the eounsels of the Tmperialist Marty in France must be distracted, and the possi- bility of a return of the #émpire ‘must appear more and more shadowy in popular estima- tuon.’’ ‘**The death of the Prince this inglorious fashion,’’ says Daily News, **is not the least of the misfortunes of this disastrous war. Ifthe Count of Paris had fallen in the great American struggle, in which he took the part of the North, it would have been felt that he had at least died ina cause worthy of his fame; but the imperial dynasty of France has closed the era of its misfortunes by the death of its representative in circumstances which must always be associated with unalle- viated disaster. ‘‘It is difficult,’’ says the Standard, ‘‘to imagine a stranger, sadder freak of fortune than that the heir of a mighty race, the hope of a great party,should fall in an obecure skirmish in Africa, ina quarrel not his own.

Says the Pars correspondent of the Stand- ard: ‘*‘Among the non-political public the general feeling may be expressed by the words I have heard a hundred times if I have heard them once: ‘C’est bien cruel pour sa mere.’’’ The Ordre, M. Rouher’s organ, comments briefly, apparently through inabili- ty to draw inspiration from him before going to press. It says: ‘‘The Prince Imperial is dead. We have but one duty and one call—piously to kneel before his tomb and to mingle our tears with those shed on the young hero whom we mourn by his two so cruelly visited mothers, the Em- press and France. 3 M.

ROME AND MADRID. The Roman clerical press comments in des- ponding tone on Louis Napoleom’s death. The Osservatore Romano, discussing the prob- able policy of the Bonapartists, passes over Jerome in silence, and hints the likeliiiood of their exerting themselves in favor of a mod- erate popular regime. The Voce della Verita remarks that the Bonapartist party, to which the future of France ap- peared to belong, will be al the more disconcerted at the death of Louis Napoleon, as by it the right to the Empire de- volves upon Prince Jerome. ‘Lhe Madrid pa- pers, say8 a correspondent, this evening ex- press sincere condolence for the Empress and her aged mother, the Countess de Montijo, who received the intelligence to-day with deep grief.

Active operations are confined to the mustering and marching of men by the al- lies at points near to the Atacana desert, while well defined rumors are current that the Chili- ans are preparing a grand coup, whieh, if successful, will lay Lima and Callao at their mercy. They bave fitted out about twelre traneports, in whieh they propose carrving be- tween ten and fifteen thousand men to Chorillos or some other convenient landing and fall upon Lima, which is practically undefended, while their iron-clads will occupy the attention of all the force at present in Cal- lao. This they can do, and their success would probably bring the war to atermination. The main army of Peruis now at Pisagua, Iqul- que, Arica and Tacna, many miles from the capital, and with the transports securely hem- med in in Callao Bay relief for the beleagured city would be impossible for more thana month. The move would be a bold one, and if undertaken by sufficient force and well managed might be successful. The blockade of Iqujque continues. The Chilan forces at Antofagasta have re- ceived strong additions lately, and transports are concentrating there as though a movement upon Iquique or Lima were in contemplation. The Huasear is at Callao undergoing repairs. The Chalaco, a Peruvian transport, left Panama for Callao on the 19th inst., laden with arms, etc., for Peru. - The Chilian Con- sui made a most emphatic protest, but to no purpose. RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRAFFIC OF ARMS. Instructious have been received from the General Government probibiting local trade or shipments of arms, ete., to the belligerents, but declaring the transit by the railroads as absolutely free. The arms which arrive here are usually consigned to some one in Panama, and consequently their embarkation here would bring them under the head of ‘ ‘local shipments,’’ which, according to the instruc- tions referred to, must not be permitted. The Oroya, another transport of Peru, is ex- pected here every day, and it is conjectured that the authorities will refuse to permit the delivery of arms to ber The German steamer Luxor, detained at Callao by the Peruvian Government for having carried arms from Buenos Ayres to Chili, has been released on the friendly intervention of the English Legation acting in behalf of Ger- man interests. ACTION OF THE AUTHORITIES. The North Pacific Times contains the-fol- lowing: The Prefect of Lima issued a decree on the 28th ordering the enrol!ment of all citizens capable of bearing arms in the National Guard within the space of forty-eight hours. Tne Government has issued its manifesto to foreign friendly powers regarding the present war. Thisis a reply to ‘the one issued by Chili, andis intended to refute the reasons adduced in that document as an excuse for the declaration of war. A tax of two per cent ad valorem has been imposed on all sugar exported. POSITION OF THE CHILIANS. A correspondent of the Chilian journal Pa- tria in Cobja says the most advanced Chilian post is at Toco, and a picket of twenty-five dragoons at Quillagua, asmali township on the Peruvian side of the Loa. About eigh- teen leagues further, inthe ‘‘muserable vil- lage’’ of Huayocondo, a corps of 150 of the enemy’s cavalry is stationed. A heavy shock of earthquake took place at Iquique on the Gth inst. It was felt on board the Chilian squadron with great violence. cL S Saar ( INDIAN WIVES. The Marriage of a Shattered Cook toa Lovely Indian Maiden. [Chicago Tribune Far-West Letter. } was rather an imposing ceremony in The cook of our out‘it took unto wife a young squaw, and I frankly admit that the solemnities were striking. Having become smitten with the charms of a sixteen- vear-old belle, the cook sent for her friends and his, and the whole lot sat down in con- clave around a beastly-smelling smudge. The squaw’s mother conducted the performance on her side, while Mr. Fred. Cadd, one of the traders, took up the cudgels for the cook. Mr. Cadd explained that the cook’s heart was low, and that his life dragged heavily on the ground, because he was compel- He liked the girl, and wanted herto help him around the kitchen and carry waterfor him, and be a wife to him generally-—for all of wnich he was willing to pay }25. ‘**Wa seeche wash ta’’ (white man very cood), ejaculated the squaw, ‘*but papoose better.

At lenzth the trace was struck for $40. A circle was formed. The cook and the girl stood facing each ether, and the squaw wrapped a blanket around the twain. The cook kissed the girl a kiss big and wet enough to water a horse, and the ceremony Was com- plete. He paid the forty dollars in sugar, tea, syrup, raisins, flour, bacon, blankets, beads and looking-glasses, and departed with his wife to arrange the wedding supper of buffalo Now, the cook 1s a pe- Years ago he used the plains of he got one of his the wheels of a cart, finished man. to whack bulis = over Montana, but one day legs eomplicated with since which he bas been more or less physically imperfect.

Ina few moments her fond brothers came up for an explanation, and at the time of my departure, which was some- what hurried, the cook was engaged in satis- fying his brother-in-law, with one leg tostand | on and one im each hand. There is to be an- other council to-morrow,at which,itis hoped, the family differences will be amicably ar- ranged. It may seem strange tothe people of Chic- ago, but around the agencies and trading- posts of the Northwest many of the whites are married to squaws. As a matter of course, these men are faithbfui to their wives; but are the wives as true? It is the experience of all ‘*squaw-men”’—as the thus married whites are called—that fhe Indian woman can not habituate berself tothe white man’s ways. | He imposes less burden upon herin the way - eee - ee ee ee of hard work than her Indian father, husband or brother would impose, but she doesn’t seem to get along with him very well, and sooner jor later she will elope with some young buck who bas engaged the affections her white husband can never secure. And, as long as she remains with her pale husband, she keeps him in hot water. It matters not what he may give her, she is inevitably ragged and hard- up. He mayfurnish her lodge to-day with fresh meat, bread, bacon. flour, rebes, and blankets. LBy night the lodge will be as barren asa gravestone. She will give away every- tbing he provides her withto her family and friends and look tohim for more. At the Yankton Agency there is a young white man who worked hard for years and saved a little money. Hefell in love witha squaw, mar- ried ber, spent his last dollar trying to keep her in some kind of shape, and now he is a lu- patic, while the wife is out on the plains, the companion of some young Indian, who will never do for her what her white husband did, but whom she loves more passionately than she could ever love a man with pallid skin. There is another class of women in the Unea-pa-pa camp—a class to which your city is not whelly a stranger. They are not allow- ed to associate with the pel ven, th girls. Huddied in «a lodge by themselves, they wear out their lives as other women of s imilar mis- fortunes do—better dressed, perhaps, than those around them, anda little more brazen withal. Thereisno hope of honorable mar- riege for them. There is no respect shown them inthe eampe If they are huncry, they are fed; but the loftier-minded people of the tribe look upon them with contempt. For these people have exalted ideas of moralitv apd society; and probity of character and wisdom go fartherin the estimate of worth than wealth—a fact which will make the stu- dent hesitate long over. the proposition to civilize them. They train their children to a faith in virtue, and to a due and high segard > a | for the responsibilities of life. “The children are educated to modesty, and toa belief that chastity is holiness: and God have mercy ou the human being who trifles with the Indian girl’s honor, for her father and brother are relentless in their vengeance. One of the chief objections on the part of the Unca-pa-pas to going on reservations is the presence of soldiers and the horrors that result; and, when one looks on the loathsome creatures, ‘made so by those around them, who infest some of the lower agencies, one can scarcely wander that the Indian shrinks from exposing his family tothe dangers and the sufferings that wait for them with open arms. >——--- THE SOUTH JUTH AS IT 18. A Judgment Based 0: on a Tour in the Southern States. {From the Boston Herald. } No intelligent man can travel in the South- ern States without coming to the conclusion that another war is the last thing the South- ern people wouid want. In this opulent and thriving New England. war and its attend- ant devastation are now, happily, ouly traditions. A few white-haired men remember the embargo which Presi- dent Jefferson laid upon our commerce. They can reeall the grass-grown streets of Salem and Newburyport, and the rotting wharves of Boston. But to the great majority of our citizens the ruin which our last war with Great Britain wrought in this sectionof the Union is, as has been said, a tradition, some- thing cloudy and vague. In the Soutbern States, where the wrecks of private fortunes have not ‘been repaired ;where men once wealthy fill small-salaried positions on railroad lines, or eke outa mere exist- ence in trade, the lesson of the war, the bit- ter lesson of harsh experience, has yet a vivid meaning to everybody. Outside of a few, a very few, prosperous com- munities, the mass of the people are poor. Gothroughthe rural regions of the South and note the abandoned plantations, the dilapidated houses of the planters of the old regime apd the general air of unthrift, and you will never thibk of asking a Southern man if he wishes to see another trial of conclusions withcannon and musket. The cities of the South, save Atlanta and one or two others, wiJl not recover their old-time prosperity in less than a quarter ofa century. Memphis sits in her sable weeds of mourning, a monu- ment of despair. Just before the yellow fever broke out last summer, the city echoed to the ringing of hammers and trowels. Fine busi- ness edifices were going up rapidly. The city felt that a new era of prosperity had duwned upon the mane of the State of Tennessee. The feyer stayed the busy -lrands of the car- penters and and masons, and Memphis clad herself in black. There were deeds of hero- ism performed in that plague-ridden city which sufficiently attest the courage and no- bility of ber menand women. The remem- brance of the misfortunes and heroism of the people of Memphis ought forever to check the sneers of her detrac ors. Neither Vicks- burg, Natchez nor New Orleans has recovered a moiety of her former prosperity. In the les- ser towns evidences of poverty are everywhere presented to the eye. The igen y burden of debt presses hard upon hundreds of commu- nities, for repudiation is not the rule, as many may suppose. Under all these diseouragements may be discerned a sturdy spirit of uncomplainiag en- duranee and a patience in the hard endeavor to rebuild their shattered fortunes whieh do honor to the south- ern character. This noble, wuncecome- plaining and resolute pushing for a better- ment of things is eminently American. We Yave seen this same spirit shown by fire- devastated Boston and Chicago. South as well as North, a commen spirit of never-sey- die animates our people. A common expression inthe South regard- ing the ruin wrought by the war, is this: ‘*We staked everything on the result of the war; we host. We are going ~ to complain.’ The partisans and fanatics, North and South, may rave and fill the vir with their cries, but no sane nian can help believing that secession isa dead and buried principle. The bayonet dug a deep- er grave for Calhoun’s doctrines than did the spade for his mortal body. Throughout the Soutl the universal desire is for a profound peace—for an opportunsty to ST EAM BOATS. ‘MISSOUBI RIV&KR. KAN SAS CITY PACKET CO.--STAR LINE.

Not, as you may vainly imagine, be- | cause you are the first young man who ever wore a stove-pipe hat, but because it is ap- parent even to the old blind man who sits in the back pew, without any cushion on, away back under the gallery, where the poor have the gospel preached at them, that >it is the first time ever you wore a hat of that descrip- tion.

You don’tlook comfortable. son. Your hat is always trying to come off: you pump it against everything you pass; you rub it the wrong way when youtry to brush the dust off it. When you carry it in your hand up the aisle, evervbody smiles, because you first hold it by the brim and let the crown tip gracefully over your arm,and,by the time you have hit three or four worshippers in the head with it, you change and turn it under your arm and try to carry it that way without touch- ing it; anu, the first thing you do in that pose, you. put a woman's eye out with your elbow. Then when Tou sit down, you put the hat down on the floor, setting it on the brim: a fatal mis- take. Andthen before the sermon is half through, you put your feet on it three times. But never mind: vou have to learn some time.

Louis. Pie ag Ser AL And that He Hired ai Office for Which He Did Not Pay, But that He is a Missourian is Most, Stoutly , Denied. A few days ago the people of this city and this State were startled by a telegram from Wasbingtop saying that the President had nominated ‘‘Jobn A. Hubter, of Missourt;”’ for Chief Justice of Utah. It was generally supposed at first that a mistake had been made,and that it.was John A. Hunter of some other State. The ground of this sup- position was that no such man as John A. Hunter lived in Missouri. it was proper to infer that aman who coutd be ap- pointed to a Chief Justiceship would be pos- sessed of sufficient legal reputation to be somewhat known among lawyers. As soon as the lawvers of St. Louis read the telegram above referred to they began to ask one an- other the question, ‘‘Who is John A. Hun- ter??? Judges of the courts here in the city were asked who he was, and they all said thev did not know him, and-that he must be from the interior of the State. A closer investiga- tion, however, developed the fact that there really is such a man as John A. Hunter, and, more surprising still, it was learned from fur- ther telegrams from Washington that the President had appointed him as a Missourian, and that, consequently, Missouri was charged with one more oftice-holder among the gallant 80,000. It has not only been discovered that THERE IS SUCH A MAN AS JOHN A. HUNTER, but it has also been satisfactorily proved that this same John A. Hunter, who has been ap- pointed Chief Justice of Utah, was once in St. Louis. When LB. Gratz Brown,a man who has known all the lawyers and politicians in Mis- souri for a quarter of a century, was asked about Hunter, he said he had never heard of such a man, but this is explained by the fact that Gover- nor Brown did not happen to meet Mr. Hun- ter when he was in St. Louis. Mr. Hunter, whois now Judge of -polyga- mous Utah, came to St. Louis about the year 1870—perhaps a little earlier, perhaps a lit- tle later—and went into the oftice of Gen. John W. Noble. Consequently Gen. Noble knows who he is, but he is about the only man in St. Louis who does. HE CLAIMED TO BE A LAWYER, and hailed from Ohio, where his father had been a Judge of some distinction. From the best information obtainable it ap- Hunter remained not long enough to He was a nice here onlv a few months, casta vote or pay any taxes. He came out here start after like a Websterian intellect. from Ohio to make a appears, He went speculation in Ohio. He however, to have had poor success. ning. Since his first visit here he has paid other fiving visits, at long intervals, and after Mr. Hayes was firmly settled in the Presidential chair Mr. Hunter came out here and ESTABLISHED AN OFFICE at No. 12 1-2 South Fifth street. The one or two people of St. Louis who knew of this pro- ceeding wondered what it meant, and they wondered still more when Mr. Hunter did not occupy his office. That he really did rent the ofiice is a matter of record. He not only rented the office, but he never paid for it, and was sued for the amount due before Justice John M. Young last December and judgment obtained. The following is a copy of™ THE AFFIDAVIT in the case made by the plaintiff. Pulaski Langalier being duly sworn, on his oath says that he is agent for E. C. Le Bonr- geois, plaintiff, and that one John A. Hunter, ; morning, defendant, now occupies astenant of plaintff two office rooms,numwber 1 and 3 on the second | floor of a certain four-story building, situ- ated and being No. 12's South Fifth street, in the First Ward of the | citv ot St. Louis, which said office rooms were rented to defendant by plaintiff’sagent by the nonth, payable month- lyin advance, atthe rate of $22 per month; that the sum of $200 is now due to plaintiff by defendant for said rent, ending January 10, 1879, and that payment has not been made; | whereof plaintiff asks judgment for the pos- session of said premises and for the suin of 200 tor the rent now due, with costs. PULASKI LANGALIER. Sworn to and suscribed before me this 12th day of December,1578. Wa. J. HURSKA, Notary Public, THE JUDGMENT entered upon the records is as follows: E. C. Le Bourgeois vs. John A. Hunter. Summons returned executed December 158, 15878. Comes the plaintiff. The defendant fails to appear, though called comes not. but mikes detault, whereupon the Justice heard the evidence produced, and, after considering the same, doth adjudge that plaintiff have judgment against said defendant, J. A. Hun- ter, for the sum of $200 for his rent; also the possession of the premiseés as described in his complaint, and costs. It isto be hoped that since Mr. John A. Hunter has been found and identified and ap- pointed to a good office. he will have the goodness to consider the above judgment, which remains unsatisfied, the costs onlyjhav- been paid. It true that Mr. did not use the otlice, but it was of great use to as it served to make him a Missourian, and being a Missourian seems to have secured him a very valuable position. The truth about Mr. John A. Hunter is, that he is a peripatetic patent-right pettifog- ger, who, for three or four years, has had his shingle hanging out at Washington City and who has been dependent upon such crumbs as is His appointment is one of those mysteries that will probably never be explained. He was not recommended by a single citizen from this State, so far as can be learned. There is aman inthe city whois known to live here and practice law here, and who was recom- mended by Judges Dillon and Treat, by Dis- trict Attorney Bliss, by all the Judges of the Circuit Court, by John B. Henderson, John M. Krum, Samuel Knox, D. Pat. Dyer, Geo. H. Shields, Judge Wagner and others. That man is JOSEPH H. BLAIR. In his letter to the President, Judge Dillon says of him: I know the standing of Mr. Joseph Hi. Blair, of St. Louis, as a _ citizen, and his rank at’ the bar. He has had a large practice here in the Federal courts, and 1s a lawyer of learning and ability. I consider him in every way well fitted for a judicial place; indeed, I should consider a territory fortunate that should secure so good a man and lawyer as one of its judges. Very respectfully, JOHN F. DILLON. EAST ST. LOUIS. About 9 o’clock this morning John Cowen and Nicholas Hays,aged respectively nine and ten years, were, incompany with some com- panions, shooting a pistol in a grove near their home inthe Fourth Ward, when Cowen was shot in the left eye. According to the boys’ story they, ,were ‘‘taking turns firing at an oyster can, when one of them hit it. Young Cowan ran to the place where the can stood to see where the ball had entered, when Hays, who did not see him, pulled the trigger, with the above result. Cowon was taken to his home, where Doctors Seigson, Jehnings and KF imnerty atcended him. | home, No. ball entered the corner of his left eye and. passibg through thé - orbital plate, lodged in the brain. The doctors are of the , opinion that death wil! result. before night. Young Hays will be held until all the cir- cumstances are known. A young child of Mr. Joséph Draggon’s fell from the porch at it’s house in the Fourth Ward, a distance of twelve feet, this and sustained injuries which on account of the child’s age will probably prove fatal. Dr. Wimton was called in and “ ascertained that the left leg was broken be-. “tween the knee and body. There were also internal injuries, the extent of which Dr. Win- ton could not determine.

The Eight H Hour League Picnic Not a Financial Success. A Post-DISPATCH reporter called upon Mr. Albert Currlin, editor of the Volksstimme des Westens, this morning, for the purpose of ascertaining the amount realized by the labor demonstration at Lindell Park on yester- day. Mr. Currlin stated that the finance committee had not held its final meeting, but would to-night, and that then the exact amount could be arrived at. The rain had merred the festivities to a considerable extent and kept many people away who would otherwise have§ attended, and the expenses were very heavy, so heavy in fact that after all expenses were paid there would be but little remaining.

Our Rowing Clubs Preparing to Capture the Keokuk Honors. Horse Notes—Boating—Base Ball and Athletic Varieties. July has utterly failed to improve local sport #o far, It never was duller than at the present time, andifinterest is not awakened in some manner at an early date the season will bid fair to close with nothing accomplished. Prepara- tions for the National Fourth may be offered in palliation, but no other excuse except that ef the scorching weather can be entertained. With the exception of the Saturday matinees at the Cote Brilliante course, there is nothing in borse circles. The principal stables of trot- ters which attended the spring meeting at Chi- cage, have returned to the city and are resting preparatory to some pretty work later on in the geason. The boating clubs are practicing for the coming regatta ut Keokuk, and the re- spective crews are confident of success on that occasion. tase0d—«sOwall)=—o iis”—=—S ss picking up in a slight degree, and three orffour professionali clubs are expected to visit us and cope with the Browns before October, There have been but few good games of bil- liards played during the week at either Bald- win’s or Mussey’s pariors, and no matches of ’ note are on the tapis. Notes of Sport. Too hot for anything but base ball. The Arkansas editors report fishing excellent in the Ozark region. The proposed glass ball:breaking tourna- ment at Rinkel’s has been givenup for the present. r The catching and batting of Ed. Cuthbert is pronounced equa! te that of the palmiest days of-the old Brown Stockings. Hard-hearted members of the gun club are sighing for an opportunity to get at the prairie chickens in Illinois and Iowa. Mujor Ww. L. Fitzgerald and Col. George . Babcock will leave to-night for afew Uays’ fishing in the Blackwater River. The race at the Jockey Club grounds between Miss Fannie Louise Buckingham and DeWolf will come off next week, if at all. Lieut. Col. George O. Chapman, of the Na- tional Guards, was elected a member of the Missouri Gymnasium on last Wednesday night. The St. Louis Cricket Club are talking of en- larging their grounds and ehallenging the clubs of neighboring cities tor a friendly bout. Mr. J. A. St. John ts widely spoken of as the best emateur pedestrian inthe city. He will make away withthe Keokuks at the coming regatta. ; Sam Baldwin's billiard parlor will close fora few duys the latter part of the present month to allow of repainting and a tew proposed changes. Chicago papers attribute the dream of aSt. Louis salesman, by which he was enabled to in- vest luckily in a Chicago racing pool, as naught but a dream. The Edwardsville, Ill., Base Ball Club will meet the Browns in a friendly match atthe Grand Avenue Park at 3 o'clock to-morrow (Sundsy) afternoon. The members of the Gymnastic Society who accompanied the Grace Episcopal Church Sun- day School] Excursion to Wood River, on yes- terduy, enjoyed themselves immensely. That the pedestrian fever is not entirely dead in this city may be inferred frem the success which attended the twenty-five-mile match between Hall, Wittman and Beckworth at St. George’s Hall on yesterday. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Missouri Gymnasium ,on last Wednesday night, anew constitution was agreed to which pro- vides thata member may be expelled by the board without leaving the matter to a popular vote of the society. Aquatic. The Mississippi Club have acrew out every evening, and are getting in good torm, The new barge E. Anheuser, for the Modoc Club, arrived on the James Howard Friday evening. The Concordia picnic was quite a success,and they will probably lay out a portion of the profits in new boats. The Wyandottes, of Wyandotte, Mich., will, itisthought, winin the pending Northwest- ern Amatcur Regatta at Toledo, 0. Mr. Sexton says if his boat don’t win the four-oared free-for-all race at Keokuk, he will be ‘‘dogond’’ ifthey don’t make a good show. Mr. Taussig has not yet arrived from Har- vard, but is looked forevery day. It is to be hoe he will arrive in season to take pait in the regatta. The Western Rowing Clubintend joining the Mississippi Valley Amateur Rowing Associa- tion, and it is safe to say that three St. Louis clubs will attend next year’s regatta. Mr. L. Edeil, captain otthe St. Louis Crew, leaves for Keokuk Thursday next to make ar- rangements for the accommodation of his men. The balance of the crew with the boat, H. Clay Sexton, will follew by steamer on Satur- day. Mr. Theo. Salzman has withdrawn trom the Modoc Junior Crew, and his place as stroke has been filled by Mr. Irnest Cole, late of the Cornell Six-oared Crew, who is no doubt the most expert oarsmaninSt. Louis. This crew will leave for heokuk on Thursday next, and will have three days to practice betore the race. The baiance of the Modocs will leave on Saturday night, taking with them the new six- oared barge. The’ Elizabeth Boat Club, of Norfolk, Va., composed of some of the finest oarsmen on the tidewaters of Virginia, go to Saratoga, N. Y., where they propose participating in the na tional regatta on Saratoga’Lake, to which they have been invited. They take with them a lour-oared shell and a single scull shell,in both of which races they will de excellent work.The crew of the four-oared shellisas follows: D. Callahan, stroke; T. McGrath, No. 2; T. Riley, No. 3; T. Gallagher, bow. Mr. William. Mur- ray, the champion of this section, will rowin the single scull race. Horse Notes.

The winning horses at the Detroit meeting en Thursday were Checkmate, Enquiress, In- commode and Aaron. The famous three-year-old trotting filly, Me- mento, died near Columbus, Ohio, recently, from an attack of pneumonia. W. T. Hale, of Newport, has sold his well- known trotting horse, Colonel Sellers, to Rich- ard Dellubbard of Hartford, Conn., for $1,- 000. The usual Saturday matinee will be given at the race track this afternoon. Clipper, Lady K,, Maxey and Wat Anderson will contend for the sliver plate. The Grand Western Circuit have determined to Rive no special premiums for exhibition of speed this fall. The horses that get their sugar will have to win it im races. The fall trotting meeting of the St. Louis Jockey and Trotting Club will be held Octoper 1,2, 3and 4, when $10,000 in purses will be divided up among the nimble-footed flyers. Twenty-five head of young trotting stock, bred by Mr. M. T. Morss, Woodvourne, Sulli- van county, were sold at auction at Middle- town Driving Track on Wednesday. About $4,000 was realized. , A Western trotting circuit has been, formed, } ' | f i | hall of the Vatican discussions on | ethics and metaphysics by | nouncing embracing Milwaukee, Min is, Quincy, Chicago, Kansas City, St. » Louisville and Lexington. The purses iven by the various associations forming tke circuit aggre- gate $85,000. Bob Pate’s Sentinel died at Chester Park, Cincinnati, Thursday morning, from acute in- flammation of the) heart. A post mortem re- vealed that he was too fleshy for a trotting campaign, and that his death was the result of over-exertion and imperfect condition. He was a five-yeal-old,Jand naa done some efiici- ent work while in t: aining, , Miscellaneous. Cincinnati is enjoying a seven days’ walking match.

Ross, of Baltimore, and Hugh McKinnon, Chief of Police of Belleville, Ont., at that city on Wednesuay night, the latter was the victor. Warren E. Smith, of Halifax, defeated Evan Morris of }’ittaburg inthe scull race fer $1,000 a side, at Silver Lake, Plympton, Mass., on Wednesday. The winner of the July stakes at Newmarket, England, on last Tuesday, Prince Soltykoff’s Mask, a fine three-vear-old who made bis first appearance on that occasion. The sixjdays’ walking mutch between O' Leary and Guyon bas been declared off on account of halls renting so high in New York and St. Louis and Chicago having been surfeitded with pedestrianism. The third competitfon tor the Diamond Tro- phy came off at Creedmoor, Wednesdsy. The event was interesting, and the scores, not- witnstanding the fickleness of the weather, were good. There were 156entries. Mr. BJ. Nolan won the trophy by a score ot 44 outofa possible 50. The Amateur Club long range match for a French clock was won by Mr. R. Rathbone with 201 points.

Between 1871 and 1878,voth yearsinclusive, 3,860,000 persons were employed in British mines, and 9,058 of them lost their lives. The London Truth on ths London ‘Times: ‘*When the old lady ot Printing House Square does gush she attains a pertect sublimity of boshb.’’ M. Waddington, the French Premier, asserts | that never has France been more calm. ‘‘ There is nowhere atrace of secret societies or con- spiracies.’’ The Duke of Hamilton has brought an action against Mr. Padwick, the well-known turfman, for many years his Grace’s agent, alleging that the debts upon his estates increased from £300,000 to £1,500,000 during the time that Mr. Padwick administered them. At present all the Duke’s property is applied tothe benetit ofthe creditors. : Nonconformist preachers in England are said to have always been more given to assist the voice with hand. arm aud body than the ora- tors ofthe Church of England. Bet of late years acertain school among the latter have | studied Continental modelsin preaching, and have borrowed trom the preachers of France and Italy gesticulation as well as language. ‘*‘Welive,’’ says a Nihilist newspaper in Rus- sia, ‘‘inastrange epoch.

Glory and honor tothe constancy of our martars!

At the end of the competition he made a brief address, an- his intention to patronize similar competitions in other branches of study. At Calatabiano, on the coast of Sicily, a mob attacked the Town Hall with the intention of burning it down because the Commune, it was stated, intended toimposea new tax for the construction of a road. They succeeded in burning some ofthe archives before the few troops in the place had reached the scene. A conflict at once ensued, during which one cara- bineer was killed and several soldiers wounded, whilethe insurgents lost ten killed, among them one woman, and a large number of wounded. A witty TIussian colonel traveling: through Eastern Roumelia with a Hebrew merchant feigned that his companion was the director of finances, Herr Schmidt, a particularly un- popular official. Wnen a mob of Bulgarians assembled attheinn with loud clamors, the merry colonel persuaded the merchant that this§was a demonstration in his honor and induced himto go eut to return thanks, when the mob pounded the unfortunate Israelite within aninch of his life and stole his watch anc clothing. We have the report of the St. Petersburg Public Library for last year.The year’s expens- es of the library were 145,000 roubles. Of this ameunt 38,000 roubles were Cisburse4 for sal- aries to officers and servants; 15,000 in repair and improvement of the building, and the re- mainder, 95,000 roubles, in the purchase of | The number of | books, manuscripts and maps. readers was 110,000, who ordered 2 books and journals. Among the readers were 1,500 foreigners. There are 384 periodicals in Russian and foreign languages. 73,000 The Curator of the St. Petersburg Scholastic District has issued a circular to the principa!s of the different schools, regulating the dress and behavior of their pupils. The latter are enjoined to remeve their kepis before the EKm- peror, any member of the Imperial family, the Minister of Public Instruction, Governors-Gen- eral, priests and other persons in authority. The scholarsjare further forbidden!to use tobac- coorto go to masquerades, clubs, cafes or public gardens. Each is also required to show a ticket establishing his identity when called upon to do so, The numerous presents which the Emperor and Empress of Austria received on the occa- sion of the silver weddingin April, have been exhibited in Vienna. There were about 800 ex- hibits. The ‘‘loftiest’’ souvenir ot the event iscertainly the new iron cross erecteu on the summit of the Grossglockner, a snow-capped mountain, well knownto all Alpine climbers in Austria. The Grossglockner was first ascend- ed in 1800. Archbishop Gurk had an iron cross erected on the summit to record the event. This cross has been destroyed by lightning,and is now to be replaced by a new one, on which an appropriate inscription will be cut. At his golden wedding the Emperor William Chamberlain and Director ot the Court Music, prince. Prince Redernisa distinguished mu- sician and immensely wealthy, having receiv- ed a great fortune with his wife, the daughter of Jenisch, the Hamburg millionnaire, a beau- tiful, accomplishea and spirited woman, who died four years ago. She was ‘‘not born’’ and when first presented at Court the late King of Prussia thought it would be a neat thing to ask her what her tather dealt in. ‘‘My father, Your Majesty, dealt in integrity ana intelli- gence !’’ replied the spirited lady,drawing her- self up proudly, and the witty rebuke quite charmed the King and made of him a friend thereafter. Helen letrie, the Grace Darling of the Shet- lands, has just aied at Kinghorn. She was a native of Unst. During a meat gale, May 26, 1856, when, in sight of the islanders, the last ofthe home-seeking fishing boats was capsiz- ed, two of its occupants being drowned, and the other two clinging to the overturned boat were drifting out with thetide, she and her sister-in-law, her tather, a one-armed man of seventy, steering, put off ina small punt and effected their rescue, which none on shore would venture to attempt.

Upon Sundays a watchman stands for the entire day at the iron gate of the Wa ter Tower, and at the request of all proper persons the gate is unlocked and free admission granted. The Bellciontaine Horse Railroad runs Open Summer Chair Cars to the Water Tower. The ground at the Water Tower is One Hundred Feet Above the City Directrix. The Toweris 175 feet high, being the highest Roman Corinthian column in the world. The river, from the top of the Tower, is singularly interesting. Men look like children; children look like babies; small houses look like toy houses; large houses look like small houses. A good glass and aclear day adds much to the entertain- ment. Water Tower Heights commands a view from the ground of the Missis- sippi River for fifteen miles. At morn and evening the air is very refreshing. At midday it is warm, on account of be- ing nearer the sun, Building lots at Water Tower Heights are very cheap, because there has hith- erto been no means of getting to and from it, and will probably advance a hun- dred per eent during the next year. __ REAL ESTATE. soe We M.A. WOLFF.

It is not doubted that men have a home in that place where each one has estab- -lished his hearth and the sum of his pos sessions and fortunes; whence he will not depart, if nothing calls him away; whence if he has departed he seemsto be @ wanderer, andifhe returns he ceases to wander.—({Definition trom Civil Law. —— ‘*Then stay at home, my heart, and rest; The bird is safest in its nest; O’er all that flutter their wings and fly A hawk is hovering in the sky; To stay at bowe ig best.’’ —([Longfellow. Papa and Mamma. We are often amused atthe habit grave mid- dile-aged people have of addressing each other as mamma and papa. Itis equally as droll to hearthe same appellation frem the lips of young gentlemen and ladies whose eldest boys have not yet exchanged little dresses for a dis- tinctively masculine costume, The pretty Christian name of the young wife is as little used as though she had never hadit. Sheis ne longer Florence, or Edith, or Susan, but al- ways and everywhere ‘‘Mamma,’’ as though all her womanhood had condensed in the one/ absorbing crucible of the small person she __boldsinher arms. Even the occasional pet, - er darling, or mignonne, which used to slip from the husband’s tongue in moments of ir- advertence, tothe covert amusement of the chance listener, is at present the thing of by- gone days. Sheisonly queen-dowager now, inother of the reigning monarch, and recognized as such by her little world, to the excluding of every other claim on her part for consideration. So with the youthful father. He was formerly Frank, Jonathan, or Hezeki- ah, but euphonious cognpomens are buried be- neath new formations, and as lost to view as the primitive rock under the sparkling mica or the golden clinging moss. ‘‘Papa likes this,’’ **papa disapproves of that,’’ ‘‘papa’s will is law,’’ observes, with dignity, the lady of the gentleman whois papato the midget in the ‘ouadie, the wee, round-faced, wrinkled mite in annel and cambric, who takes so little room and makes so much disproportionate noise in the world. As the children grow older it is singular to notice how the parents carelessly . continue to allude to themselves always in the third person when speaking to the offspring. It is *‘Mamma never sits with her foot under her, Polly;’’ ‘‘Papa never wears out the knees of his trousers, Tom;’' ‘‘Mamoia’s feelings are hurt, Louise;’’ ‘*‘Papa is very sorry, but he will be obliged to whip you, Jack.'’ It does not occur to either of the firm matrimonial 1atitis quite as straighttorward to say, ‘'I will do so and so,’’ and atrifie more emphatic andimpressive. The adoption of these trifles was at first a sign and corroboration to all the world of the happiness the wearers felt in be- longingtothe great army of parents. Insen- sibly the trick of their invariable use became confirmed, an1d at last it grew too inveterats to be noticed or dropped, even on formal occa- sions. . | Pet names of all sorts should be sacredly kept and confined to the privacy of homs. They are not part and parcel of society's knowledge of us and our ways of living. Mar- ried people as well as others should preserve in public a certain polished propriety of man- ner consistent with using the Christian-name in addressing each other, but, except to and among intimate friends, rigidly confining mu- tual allusions to the formal Mr. and Mrs., or the dignified ‘‘my husband’’ and ‘‘mv wife.’’ As for papa and mamma, let the children keep them fortheirown, and sofar asthe persons themselves are implicated, let them be used only in the nursery. Women of Strong Sense. Never shrink from a woman of strong sense. If she becomes attached to you, it wil) be from secing and valuing similar qualities in your- self. You may trust her, for she knows the value of your confidence; you may consult her, for she is able to devise, and does so at once, with the firmness of reason and the considera- tion of affection. Her love will be lasting, for it willnot have been lightly won; it #fiibe strong and ardent, for weal iB are not capable of the loftier gradg on.

Cleaning Glass Bottles. It is stated that glass bottles may be quicklv and thoroughly cleansed from alltraces of ad- hering fatty or oily matters by the use of a con- centrated solution of permanganate of petasy, to which afew drops of hydrochloric acid are added. The solution isemployed by washing and rinsing.

Over-tatigue, indulgence in food or drink beyond what nature requires, want of proper exercise and mental disguietude, are aliacause of sleeplessness. Breathing in a confined or over-heated apartinentis also a not unusual canse of broken slumber. .The tem- perature most suitable for sleep is about sixty degrees, which gives the sensation of neither heat nor cold, and admits of a moderate amount of bi-d-clothing being used. The best posture for sleep is to lie onthe rightor left side, with the arms crossed over thé breast in front and the head well up on the pillow. The mouth should be shut, so that the breathing may be carried on exclusively throngh the nose. Some persons acquire a habit of sleeping with the mouth open, which causes the grotesque and offensive action of snoriag. Going to sleep while lying on the back should be avoided, us, besides inducing the sleeper to snore, it is apt to cause disturb- ing dreams. When lying down tosleep, the mind should be as composed as possible. Thinking ought to be guarded against as productive of wake- tulness. hose who, from nervous irritability. are habitually bad sleepers, resort to various expedients to secure the blessing of repose. One of the most successtul plans censists in mentally repeating a familiar poem or psalm, so as to alter the train of thought and lull the consciousness. Itis a well ascertained factthat sleep begins atthe extremities; the feet sleep first, ana theh the rest of the person. On this account, in order to fall asleep, we require not only to eompose the thinking faculties, but to keep the feet still. The feet must also have an agreeable warmth. With a consciousmess ef this fact, the North American Indians and oth- ers who are in the habit of bivouackingin the open air when on distant expeditions, sleep -with their feet toward a fire which they kindle fer the purpose. Certain drugs act asan opi- ate and produce sleep when ordinary means fail; but these should never be taken unless py medical sanction. The practice of using opi- ates is most detrimental to health, and, it per- severed in, is ruinous tothe constitution. Cof- fee and other beverages act variously on dit- ferentindividuals. They exhilarate some, and others they send to sieep. Tea usually acts as an exhilarant, by stimulating the nervous sys- tem, and should not be taken less than four hours before gving to bed.—{[Chambers’ Journal. The Cash Value ot Human Life. It has been estimated that an actual money cost of £300 is incurred in raising a boy, cra- died among the poorest classes, from birth to manhood. It does not require us to ascend very high in the social scale before we findthat the estimate must betrebied. If we take what we may call the cost price of the human unit at any definite time, say at £500 on arriving at maturity, the producing power of the unitin question will bear some relation to that sum; the more cestly and careful education produc- ing, as arule, the more valuable result as to producing power. If the laborer earns 14 shil- lings Or 15 sbillings a week, adds £50 per annum to the weaith of the country, the pnysi- cians, the scientific, military or naval officer, tbe barrister or the engineer may look forward to the time whien his yearly labor will be worth more than oné hundred times that amouat, even if appraised only by the price he is actu- ally paid for histime. Taking any producing individual, whether valued at £50 or £5,000 per annum, at any period of his career, no in- come tax to which he can be subjected can ap- proach inits pressure the extravagant tax of death, forthe payment of that tax at once an- nihilates the total earning power of which there was, until that moment, a tair mathematical expectation.—| Popular Science Monthly.

Literary Notes, Incidents and Ideas. The Colonel’s Opera Cloak. The ‘‘No Name’’ series has already givena good deal of what may be called real literature. to the American public. ‘‘Mercy Philbrick’s Choice,’’ the first book ofjhe series,was a suc- cess; ‘‘Kismet’’ was 0 @ most popular books of the season, ‘vedly so; and **Dierdre’’ is a poem b et. The second **'No Name’’ series Began well ‘*Signor Monaldini’s Niece,’’ a book brimming over witb real human nature; and this present volume, ‘‘The Colonel’s Opera Cloak,’’ isa worthy exponent of the same sortof gentle- manly feeling and literary ability which has produced its predecessers. Notthat ‘‘Thne Col- onel’s Opera Cloak’’ is a great book inany sense of the word;itisa simple little story, most fit for reading in a hammock in the shade; one doesn’t need to know any language but English, nor to be up in Spen- cer’s Psychology. A shiftless Southern family, ali Southern families are dejure shiftless, oc- cupying a furnished house in a Northern town, are the chiet figures; their negroes and their ideas, their lovers and their episodes form the pook. The Colonei’s opera-cloak is}the stand- ing joke of the book. The Colonel, who is the father of the family, docs not appear, but his cloak they have always with them. The conversations are the chiet charm of the book. .Jasper, a little darkey philosopher, has ecarrieda noteto Mrs. Douglas from the St. Jonns, the Southerners, and while the answer is being prepared: ‘*‘What a beautital apple you have there!’’ said Mrs. Douglas, amusing herself with the boy. ‘*Do you like red or brown apples best?’’ **Well,’’ suid Jasper, looking very solemn, asifhe had a most important question to de- cide, ‘‘l loves the brown best. De red apples is the puttiest; but yer put yer teef into it, it squizzles up yer mouf; but yer put yer teef into de brown apple, an’ yer Keeps on putting yerteet in. Dese red applies is dike sone folks—dey charms de eye, but there isn't nothin’in’em! Dese brown apples deys likes other folks—dey aint sosmarted,vut dey’s good insige,’’ Mrs. Deuglas laughed outright. membered Jasper’s moralizing at the door on her first cali on the St. Johns. ‘*And do you like living in the North orSonuta best’’’ she asked. ‘*Well,’’ said the boy solemnly, ‘‘as fur as the water million goes, I likes due Souf best: but as fur as de mince pie goes dat you give me one day, I likes de Norf best.’’ Mrs. Douglas sent for some mince pie imme- diately. Such adelicate hint and so fine a compliment must be rewarded. ‘‘Do you ever g@ to schooi, Jasper?’’ en- quired Mrs. Douglas while lhe was busy wit the engaging pie which had so endeured ‘the Nerth to him. ‘Oh, yes, pretty regular. I some days.’’ ‘*What sort of pictures?’’ ‘*Well, de teacher gives ’em tous. We’'s done de pumps and coffins, an now we's on de wine- giass. Tlarnstoo about de speres, de moon un’ de stars.

Thelight shone through her | fioossy hair and madea halo about her pretty | head. She said she wished she could ‘‘purr,’’ | Poor little Jasper, like Mercutio, was too | brilliant to live. His death, which is well told, has this little bitin it anong much true senti- ment: ‘*‘Thasn’t never seen de Lord Jesus,’’ said the child. ‘‘But I done reckon I knows him. Oie Sally, she loves to die, and she said he was always hangin’ ’bout de gate to totch in de folks dat wants to gitin, an’ int’duce ’em to His frien’s.

He broug'tin an unknown trunk and a big package marked with their number. : ‘*Tom will be here to tea,’’ said Mrs. Doug- las, cheerfully. I was reully getting worried, although I might have remembered how he hates writing letters.’’ | **Where did he get that strange trunk, and | whet’s in that package?’’ said little Ned, cut- ting the string.

A dainty tea was made ready for Tom the door. It was his voice; dear fellow, how _Inerry ané happv he was. But who was with him?

Did your aunt come, too, and all the boys?’’ Leslie looked at ‘fom in dismay. **Good gracious, inother!’’ cried Tom. ‘‘Bessie! Everybody! Didn’t you get my letter? Didn’t you know I was married?’’ Soruns ‘‘The Colonel’s Opera Cloak,’’ a better told story than ninety-nine per cent of the ephemeral literature of the time. The nar- rative is probable, the chat witty, and the characters ficsh and blood. Heroes of Three Wars. An energetic lady canvasser has left Glazier’s ‘*History of Three Wars’’ at this office. She is making a thorough canvass of the town, and evidently knows her business. The Troy Times says otf the book: ‘‘Capt. Glazier writes with a fulland accurate knewledge of the sub- jects introduced, and his thrilling sketches have ali the vividness which none but a soldier and a participant in such scenes could give them. Simple in style, compact in matter and vigorous in treatment, the book just meeets the want of a large class of people who have no time for consulting the ponderous volumes which are too often imposed upen the indul- gence of a generous public. Literary Notes. Charles Dudley Warner, John Burroughs, Rose Terry Cooke, Charles L. Norton, Frank 8. Converse and others, will contribute to tne Christian Union during the summer months a series of articles appropriate to the season. Some time in July R. Worthington will pub- lish Lord George Campbell’s new book of travel in America, being mainly of travel in the South- ern States during the past year. The English title, ‘‘Black and White,’’ will probably be used asa sub-title with another, perhaps ‘‘A Acutcbiman’s Views of America,’’ as the main title. The book will undoubtedly have a good deal ofinterest for Americans, and is sure at any rate to attract attention. A verfect set of the first editions of Ruskin’s *‘*Modern Painters,’’ ‘‘Stones of Venice’’ and ‘*Seven Lamps of Architecture,’’ cemprising nine royal octavo volumes, is now worth ia the London book market the extraordinary sum of $5,000, or a littie more than $555 a volume. Mr. Wm. Bilaikie’s readable and useful little book, ‘‘Howto Get Strong, and How to Stay So,’’ has reached its fourth edition. The first edition was exhausted in ten days, the second went off in four days, and there was so brisk a demand for the third that a tourth was ordered close upen it. The first three volumes of Max Miller's trans- lations of the ‘*Sacred Books of the World’’ are ready for publication. Fitty-five pages ot the first volume are devoted to a preface in which three cautions are given, one for persons who forget tlrat the grain is mixed with the chaff in sacred writings, unother for those who do not properly estimate the difficulties involved in making a rigid use of translations, and a third for those who do not know what is possible and what impossible in rendering ancient thought into modern languages.

Mr. Miller will also publish soen a one- volume edition of Elizur Wright's translation of La Fontaine's ‘‘Fabies,’’ which has been long out of the market. He will add to it re- productions of forty French illustrations, The recent report that Shakspeare’s Alders- gate-street house in London was about to be taken down, in order that a more profitable building may be set up in its piace, is followed by a bit of news from Rome, which ought to put to shame the projectors of so irreverent an enterprise.

BY ADA IDDINGS GALE. A day comes haunting me from out the past, A beautiful spring day, When you and! dull care behind us cast, And trod the woodland way. Was ever such a sun—ever such balmy air?

OMAN’S HAIR. Classical and Modern Coiffures Considered. a — How the Different Styles of Wearing the Hair Act as Interpreters and Crea- tors of Expression. Long hair is the glery of woman. This high compliment was passed upon the hair nearly two thousand years ago. During the ages that have since elupsed new glories have dawned upon woman—intellectual glories, and glories of power and influence; and though these lat- ter seem to outshine the former in the glaring vitality of their new growth, the most radical and progressive woman must acknowledge that the hair is still the glory of physical woman. It is the glory of her beauty, her natural diadem, and a condition of power that elevates ber to angelic dignity. So great is the influence of the arrangement of the hair upon female beauty that even fash- ion, uncompromising as it is to human weal or wee in its legislation on matters of dress and custom, when it comes to say ‘‘thus and s§0’’ of the bair, pausesin the arrogance of its die- Though there is always aleading style of arrunging the hair, this margin is so heavily laden with original- ities and innovations, that often but a feature of the leading style is recognizable—thus prac- tically placing the taste or conceit of the indi- vidual independent of and superior to fashion. All else feels the power of fashion’s unreienting hand. Every other departmont of woman's comfort and every department of man’s com- fort is arbitrated by this haughty lawgiver. Hitherto fashion comes, but no further; her proud waves are stayed at woman’s glory. The hairisa powerful interpreter and creator of expression. The most perteet set et teatures destitute of hair, eyebrows and eyelashes is an unsightly spectacle. It is the stately arcn of color and form that makes the eye a fit window for the soul: and the forehead, no matter how smooth and white, depends for its beauty upon the clustering fibers of color which form its boundary line and crown. The hair has im- mense power as aregulator of expression. It may be arranged to modity a stvie of beauty or to convert it into an opposite style. To be convinced of thig One has but to compare pic- tures of the same person taken in different coiffures; or, pornepe. it would be better to compare the different effects as produced by the hair onthe living original. But why not experiment on ourselves befere a mirror? One may gain something by this, to be sure, but not so inuch as by making observations on another, because we never see Ourselves in a mirror as we look to otbers. Weget only one look of ourselves in a glass, and thatis a look of self- consciousness. By caretully observing the effect of coiffure upon expression we see that its lowness of po- sition promotes the expression of all that is softand gentle, and perhaps weak. The pic- ture With talling hair suggests grace, Sweet- ness and dependence, other things being equal in carrying out the effect. When the artist re- presents the ane and tond maiden seated ina bower of roses listening to the breathings of ilove, or when he touches her fair fingers to the chords of a harp so naturally thatone expects to hear some plaintive wailyor love-burdened ncete bursttromthe canvas, the tresses, in both cases, are conspicuously falling. A high coiffure has an opposite effect. It in- tensifies inteliectuality and independence of expression. It makes the love-smitten young man pause inthe story of his adoration and ask himself: ‘‘llow shall I commence?’’ or, ‘*Will she have me?*’ It is a check to the presumptuous; who so bold as to insult that mountain of hair? Who so hardened as to stand the scornful frown that burns beneath that crown of dignity? The high-coiffured face may be that of aqueen, an amazon, ora high-spirited, cultured, self-asserting woman. The best domestic cffect is produced by con- fining the hair to the middle of the back ofthe hbead—not so high astorise above the crown, norso low as totouchthe nape of the neck. This style gives prominence to the back ot the head where the domestic affections and mater- nal instincts are supposed to lie. It must have been understood by ancient painters and sculp- tors, asitis the stvle of Raphael's Madonnas, of Niobe, and other mother-goddesses. Itis the style of motherhood. Besides being highly classical it is the most convenient arrangement of the hair for the mother or nurse. The little baby band loves to pat the top of its mother’s head as she dances it upon her knee, and how tender the little, soft arm feels when cireling close totne neck. A high towering coiffure or an elaborate low one,with dangling braids and curls, seriously interferes with infantile pleas- ures, and the mother whothus arranges her hair foregoes much of the delights of baby nursing. However the Greek cvilfure may be admired by men, women know their own deficiencies too well to adopt it in its severe simplicity. It is certainly the most becomirg style tothe Greek or classic tace, but to subject all faces and heads, taking them as we find them, to this trying ordeal, would be as preposterous as it wonld be cruei. Since it is impossible to adapt the face toastyle of hair arrangement, women must acceptthe other and only aiter- nutive—adapt the hair to their style of face. The present leading stylo of double braid Which extends low on the neck, falling froma cluster of high puffs onthe top of the head, is becoming to the average tace and head. It gives about equal prominence to theintellectu- al or superior, the domestic, and the pensive orromantic. But, as has been said, tashion leaves a margin, and this mnar- gin allows either the chatelaine braid or the high puffs to he omitted, bellum, and short head measuring from that is altogether sufficient the deficiency behind, which it conspicuous. It gives her a sort of ‘‘top- heavyv’’ appearance, and spoils the symmetrv of proportion by threwing the natural line of gravity too far forward, whereas it the flat back ofthe head were helped out by a pro- truding coiffure an artificial antipode forthe bust would be effected, with the line of gravity failing, as it should Go, midway. When the cerebellum is well developed, and the head is shorttromthetop of the forehead to the chin, the hairis wern very becomingly high; especially is this true if the person has otherwise an expression of grossness, languor, temerity or stupidity. Overly energetic, ped- antic, and selt-conscious women, who do not wish to appear so, may remedy this effect by a low arrangement of the hairin braids or curls —the latter being the most softening. Butthe dreamy-looking girl, who indulges in romantic reverics und spring poetry, should ignore curls and all drooping arrangements, since she is too drooping already, and affect a more posi- tive style of wearing the bair.

Never did any freak of tashion tensively and for such a length of time as the now aimost indispensable frizzes.The secret of their success lies in their being so available in shaping the face. It is generaily supposed that they give the fuce a younger and more inno- cent expression by softening the hard lines and shading a too lofty forehead. There is, how- ever, evidently too much claimed for frizzes; for while they improve the majority of faces, there is a large minority little if any benefited by them, and someinjured. They have a few classic faces with low, broad foreheads. and these, when the bair is wavy and abundant in front, leok best untrizzed, because there is nothing to cover up—nothing to soften. When the expression is inclined to the coarse, or where there isa marked absence of benevo- lence, the animal effect is always increased by astraight border of thick frizzes across the forehead, whereas if the hair was slightly waved and parted in the middle, tnis feminine divis- ion would lend the face one gentile characteris- tic. A custom which happily obtains but little favor among women is that of parting the hair at one side. Such geniuses as Harriet Hosmer and Rosa Bonheur, who are probably the originators of this freak, may part their hair at the side or not at all, with impunity. Look- ing at either of these women one sees only the artist. for such genius is without sex; but the iwitation of this eccentricity by ordinary women and empty-pated girls contemptible folly, and altogether inexcusable, even though done forthe purpose of covering a bald spot. Classic simplicity in style, or such an approach toitas the symmetry ef the head and face will allow—always omitting the flat bands across-the forehead and other tokens of saint- lessness—was beantiful thousands of years ago, and is so yet, for beauty, like permanent truths, is alwaysinthe present tense.

Has the repeal of the bankrupt act anything to do with the increase of fire losses? Even in Germany objection is made to state supervision of insurance companies. The general average of the Ceatenniai for her December, ’78, trip, is 11% per cent If it is in order, the I.-G. would inquire whether those trumpets have arrived. — Sixty-dollar-a-gallon-wine, was one of the charges in a late Joss of fire and water. The attention of average adjusters is called to the grounding of the ‘* Wachusett.’’ Conzelman’s building will have floors deatened with a fire-proof composition. The city mains are not large enough on Sec- end, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets, — Capt. Barnard, of the Board of Underwriters, was last heard from atthe Yellow Stone wreck. The brick wallon the north line of Conzel- man’s lot is a model tor the tuture walls ot St. Louis. The ‘*pool’’ at Kansas City died from exces- sive strength, They couldn’t keep Capt. Ed. uncer. A. P. Spencer, of the Imperial and Northern, has been to Giasgow, Mo. The vell(e)s on the boat lost him. Omaha, Neb., thinks well of the Holly sys- tem of water-works, and wili probably con- tinue to think of it. ; Davenport, Iowa, wants a paid Fire Depart- ment. Sealed proposals for running it wlll be received at this office. Insurance interests are demoralized in Chi- cago to such an extent that assistance to reme- dy the evil has been sought. Tbe Boston Board of Underwriters recom- mend the pensioning of disabled and old mem- bers of the Fire Department. The American Central and the Marine of St. Louis have eeclared semi-annual dividends of six and five per cent, respectively. ‘*George’’ Washington, of the Hamburg Mag- deburg, buried his manat Yankton. He didn't bury the mar with the broken leg, however. We choose it as a fitting time to remark that no Underwriter will have a full line on the Wachusett from t&is port. She won't get bere. The Jefferson Ins. Co. (stock) of this city, has discontinued business. One of the directors made a handsome thinangon about a hundred shares of the stock. A recent decision in Chicago ts to the effect that a life insurance policy is a contract, and both parties to it willbe bound byit. Most profound reasoning. Criticism of the Chouteau building at present is perhaps premature. It the floors are treated as Conzeliman’s will be, the risk from fires will be greatly diminished. Mr. Justus Kehler, of Hamburg, is in St. Louis examining the plans of General Agent Koeh torthe Western campaign. Mr. K. does not believe in mansard roofs. The bark Helen, sunk offthe coast between Barnegat and Absecom lights, lies in the track of southern Sound vesseis. It will take a good deal of ‘‘sugar’’ to pay for her cargo. Com. Coulson, not satisfied with the conces- sions he has had from the St. Louis Board of Underwniters, ‘‘kicks’’ because of a conces- sion to the ‘‘Nellie Peck.’’ Bad logic, Cem- modore. M. Bennett, who, by a printer’s devil, was named in last week's lI’. D. as ex-president ot the Connecticut Fire, was re-elected on the 27th ult., for thetwentieth time. He appears to be X X. The New York Chronicle says.that the motto of insurance companies should be: ‘‘Now or Never,’’ and takes the president of the National Board to task for saying the time is **pot yet.’”’ ‘ Judge Adams’ decision in the Boogher, New York, fire case, settles the demurrer of certain companies as to the jurisdiction of the Cirecnit Ceurt. Judge Adams isan old insurance law- yer, and kaows whereof be speaks. Williamson & Gerold, of Kansas City, are represented in St. Louis by the senior partner. He wants the Wachusett to go to his native town, and promises several recruits. Besides, he thinks it would be a good thing forthe ralil- roads which center there. It the Chief ot the Fire Department will cast his eagle eye over the plans of Conzelman’s new building, he will get an idea of fire-proof- ness, as it were. Mr. lilsley, the architeet of the buildiag, asserts thatthe building will be absolutely indestructible from within or with- out, except perhaps as to the plate glass. } Martin Collins, Esq., addressed a conventien of Underwriters at St. Paul, Minn., last week, and completely prostrated Judge Ames by his masterly rendition of that time-honored speech beginning with . ‘*You'd searce expect one of my age, To speak in public on the stage.’’ May, 1879, ‘‘takes the cake’’ iu the lossre. cord of insurance companies.
