His eyes were bloodshot, his face flushed and bg was so nervous that he could not be still for amoment. He was first lying down, then git- ting up, and talked incoherently. It may have been excitement and probably was. ‘*Well, what bave you to say about this af- fair? Did you shoot your wife?’’ ‘Of course Ildid. I don’t deny it.’’ f*.

INDICATIONS. By Western Associated Press. WASHINGTON, July 7.—For the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys, southerly winds, warmer, partly cloudy weather, possibly followed by cooler northwest winds and rising barometer. For Upper Mississippi and Lower Missouri Valleys, warmer southerly winds shifting to ‘cooler northwest winds, clearing weather and rising barometer. For Upper Lake Region, southwest to northwest winds, falling follow- ed by rising barometer, cloudy and rainy fol- lowed by clearing and cooler weather. For Lower Lakes, southwest winds,- falling barometer, numerous rains and possibly local storms followed by cooler westerly winds and clearing weather. The rivers will generally fall, except a slight rise at Little Rock, Du- buque, La Crosse and Vicksburg. Cautionary signals are ordered for southwest winds and local storms at Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, Sec- tion 5, Sandusky, Toledo, Detroit, Section 4 and Port Huron. Tux fate of the Administration has over- taken the Wachusett, which is reported hopelessly agroun@ on a sand-bar and wait- ing for a five-foot rise. The attempt to navigate a sixteen-foot man-of-war in an eleyen-foot channel is quite in keeping with the attempt to control five millions of votes with only sixteen thousand bayonets. THE United States Marshals, though Re- klicans, are willing to put their trust ina Democratic Congress. They are not at al; scared about their money, and will continue to discharge their duties as if the usual ap- propriations had been made. If the Mar- shals were as certain of reappointment as they are of their pay, they would be a hap- py lot. WHEN somebody informs us what our real population is, we will be prepared to make a comparative estimate of the mor- tality in St. Louis with that of the other leading cities in the world. As long as our leading estimators, however, differ in their calculations all the way from fifty to one hundred and twenty-five thousand, it will be impossible for us to tell exactly.how healthy or sickly, as a city, we are. vhich New York poli- Event the nomination of Mr. he Presidency is by demonstrat- ng beyond cayil that he ean not carry his own State. If Mr. Tilden, for instance, should nominate his ticket this fall and have it beaten at the polls, his nomination next year would be out of all question. If on the other hand he should be permitted to THE 01 triumph both inside the party and at the polls, his prestige would rise again, the argument that he could not carry New York would be without effect and his nomination @ ek year become more than possible. Tue Ohio campaign promises to be even more fierce and exciting than was the In- diana campaign, preceding the Presidential election of 1876, when Blue Jeans Williams was chosen Governor. It appears that every Federal office-holder and employe in the country is called upon to contribute, and the Republicans are evidently prepar- ing to pay for votes that can only be se- cured by pecuniary considerations. That really pious fraud who stole and now holds the Presidency will no doubt be a bounte- ous giver, in addition to lending the power and influence of his fraudulent administra- tion for the defeat of Ewing. If corrup- tion insures success the Republicans will ca hio. Wirn the aid of the reportorial. micro- scope, the Post-Disratcu discovered on Saturday that the new Chief Justice of Utah, who is credited to Missouri, John C. Hunter, was actually visible in Missouri for a few weeks, and that while here he only made an impression on his landlord by failing to pay his rent. The noted Sam Houston once announced that no man could righfully claim to be a citizen of a State until he had worn out one pair of boots on its soil, and we shall continue to deny Mr. Hunter the merit of a Missouri citizenship until he has faithfully acquired the qualifi- cation involved in the calf-skin doctrine. It is all very well for a man to prove a resi- dence by wash-bills unpaid, but we insist that a worn-out pair of boots is the true test of citizenship. Mr. Hunter is no more a Missourian than Mr. Hayes himself. —— ——— Our esteemed morning contemporary, whose peculiar délight it is to picture Texas as the prowling ground of red-handed mur- derers, publishes a special dispatch con- cerning a “‘fight’’ which took place the other Jay ip the legislative chamber of that State. he ‘fight’? occurred between Smith and | Taylor, aged eighty respectively, and must have been terrific, as it is recorded that “Smith kicked Taylor in the rear.’’ No ether weapon was used than the toe of Smith’s boot, and as Taylor did not re- sist the ferocious assault, it seems that Smith must certainly have known whose rear he was kicking. Savage asthe combat was, we must insist that it does not sustain our contemporary’s oft-repeated charge of desperadoism against Texas, and proves that the Texan does, at least occasionally, fight with a less murderous weapon than a - ten-inch bowie or a navy revolver. A Tue proposed grand reunion of the ‘Cockrell Confederate brigade meets with opposition in unexpected quarters. It was supposed that the reunion was desired by 1 in the interests of General Cockrell, but the Warrensburg Journal, published bt General Cockrell’s homé, and regarded as his organ, has come out strongly in opposi- tion to the scheme upon the ground of ‘‘policy.”’ It says: But is there not such a thing as policy? Any man’s native intelligence should teach him that a reunion of Confederate soldiers. at Sedalia—the heart of Missouri—will be used by the enemy of the Democratic party at the next election as campaign thunder. Charge after charge and plot after plot will be laid at the door of such a reunion. The Republicans could not ask for a softer soap with which to wash away the trembling faith of weak-kneed Democrats. This is our view of the question and we believe it to be the true one. So do we. Mr. Cockrell has shown good sense in stopping the business so promptly. IF a prize were to be awarded for the best editorial of the hundreds or thousands that were written on the Fourth of July, we should unhesitatingly award it to that brilliant and truly independent journal, the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. We have only room for a few sentences: Two things the war settled, that we are a nation, and that by national authority slavery is forever abolished. This the war left un- changed; that the nation isin form a federal union, or family of States. Universal freedom, local self-government, national unity—these are the channels in which moves the organic life of the American people. And the spirit which apimates that organ- ism, the temper that makes America a vital word, the quality which shall make of our ‘nation a hope and beacon to the peoples of the older world—what is that? It is loyalty to the nation, and consecration to the highest ideas for which the nation stands. Loyalty to the nation, patriotism, whatis that but a loyal regard for alithe people ef the nation? Our Government is but the organ of the people, our flag is buta symbol of the collective peo- ple; itis the people themselves, the men and women of Massachusetts and Virginia and the Carolinas and California, and every other of the thirty-eight, that are the nation. Our heroes—not of the North, not of the South, but of the American people. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and Albert Sidney Johnson —they belong tous. Grant and Sherman and Sheridan and Thomas—they belongtous. Of Southern and Northern people alike,the valor, the discipline, the fidelity to right as it was given to each to see the right, these we claim for the common American inheritance. To-day when this is said the partisan may resent and the politician sneer, but long before another century has passed it will be accepted and fa- milliar fact. NO REPUDIATION. Every Republican journal editorialized with more or less fury upon the ‘‘infa- mous’’ conduct of the Louisiana Conven- tion in repudiating its State debt. But we do not observe one single word about the final result of the struggle in the Convention. The question of the State debt is settled, settled finally and forever. And how did the people of Louisiana ‘repudiate ?’’ The Constitutional Convention, after a long and protracted debate, voted down the report of the committee, voted down dozens of different compromise measures, and formally recognized and reaffirmed the validity of the entire State debt left by the Kellogg Administration. The only change made by the Convention was in the rate of interest. The debt is to bear but three per cent for the next fifteen years, and after that four per cent until maturity. The people of Louisiana have repudiated nothing. They have reassumed a great debt of doubtful validity, created in an era of infamous rascality, to preserve the hon- or of their State. They deserve credit. They deserve the same honor to which a man is entitled who settles a debt freely when he is not obliged to do so. Louisiana has done well. *“FREVOLUTIONARY” AGAIN. The thirty-eight ‘‘free and independent States’? that are, or are supposed to be, equally represented in the Senate of the United States include the State of Nevada. Each Senator of the United States is en- titled to the salary of five thousand dollars per annum. The one duty which a Senator of the United States never neglects is to draw this salary with promptness and conscientious regularity. No matter how desperately pas- sionate may run the debates and become the political excitement, no matter whether the distinguished Senators are in Washington or not, that duty is never neglected. But another ‘‘Confederate threat’’ is heard. The ‘Confederate’? Secretary of the ‘‘Confederate’’ Senate has absolutely announced that Senator Sharon, of Nevada, is not entitled to and shall not receive salary for the last session, as he was not his present. This, of course, is ‘“‘revolutionary.”’ Senator Sharon is a good Republican, and has always drawn his pay faithfully, though he has not been in Washington for the last three years. The precedents estab- lished by the Senate as long as it was con- trolled by the Republicans are all in Mr. Sharon’s favor. There is nothing whatever to justify this ‘‘revolutionary”’ proceeding unless it be that the Democratic majority in the Senate desire to observe the plain letter of the law which forbids the payment of salary to any member of Congress who has not actually served in Washington. But, of course, to observe a law that has been disregarded for years by Republican statesmen is clearly ‘‘revolutionary,’’ and another of the dangerous designs of the ‘rebel brigadiers.”’ Senator Sharon is as much a member of the Senate in a legal sense as Mr. Thurman or Mr. Conkling. His name is called every day and every time they have to respond. If he does not choose to come to Washing- ton, but prefers to remain in San Francisco to attend to his stock speculations, he is, neyertheless, a Senator of the United States until the expiration of his term, or until his seat has been declared vacant. When the Democratic majority deny him the pay he always received before, they arouse anew all the fury and passion of Republican jour- nals. But, seriously, Nevada’s total population to-day is less than that of a single Con- gressional district in this city, or of a single ward of New York or Philadelphia. Yet it has precisely the same representation in the Senate of the United States as Mis- souri, or Ohio, or New York, the latter hav- ing a population fifty times aslarge. Yet, practically, it has no representation at all. Why? Because, originally admitted into the Union as an upparalleled measure of parti- a b infamy to secure two votes necessary for majo#ity by the Republicans, wada, senatorially speaking, never was a State, never ceased to be a rotten bor- ough, never had an honest senatorial election, never had a Senator who did not buy his seat as he would buy a seat in the opera, never served another purpose except that of adding two votes to the Republican side. The simple truth is that Nevada has no Senator at all. For the two men whoclaim to represent her live in San Francisco, and never go to Nevada except on business like that of buying a mine or a senatorial seat. The fact is that California or San Fran- cisco has three Senators and one vacant seat and Nevada none. No more curious illustration of the beau- tiful result of Republican legislation can be imagined than this case of Nevada’s Sharon, who went into the open market and bought a seat in the Senate which he regards as his personal property, and of so little dignity or value compared with his other operations in San Francisco that he has not occupied it for years. And even if Mr. Sharon’s term expires, or if he should resign, the fact, the great, utterly irreparable injury, remains forever. Two men will always sit in the Senate of the United States who under the name of Nevada will represent nothing but fraud and vyenality—the worst rotten borough ever known in this country, and who will have precisely the same votes and influence that the great State of New York has. There is no remedy. The Constitution is very plain. No State can be diminished in its equal representation in the Senate with- out its own consent. Mr. Sharon is no more sorry for the bar- gain he made in buying a seat which he can not occupy, than the Republicans will yet be for having perpetrated the outrage of creating a pocket rotten borough State.

A Model Fourth of July Speech Deliver- ed by Lieut.-Governor Dorsheimer, of New York. ( [From the New York Express.] Lieutenent-Governor Dorsheimer made the long talk of the day. He stood like some mighty oak of the forest, and won new titles of enthusiastic admiration by the masterly manner in which he handled the great theme ofthe day. Ilis sentences are easy, natural, and cumulative; his various and richly- stored knowledge, his ripe and scholarly methods, combined with remark- able gifts of eloquence and a fine voice, never appeared to better advantage than in his long talk yesterday at the Wigwam. The following is an outline of Mr. Dorsheimer’s address: Fellow-Citizens:—You have met in accord- ance with your custom to commemorate the birthday of the Republic. It is appropriate at such a time to consider what the causes are of our country’s greatness. If it be said that America has become great by reason of her physical condition, soil and climate, the an- swer is, that with these same conditions America remained for nearly three centuries after its discovery a strange region to the civ- ilized nations of Europe. Ifit be said that we owe our greatness to the tide of emigration which has flowed hith- er, the question must yet be answered, Why isitthat more of the people of other coun- tries came here during the last hundred years than in the two preceding centuries? I like to recall that our country’s history begins with that period when modern civili- zation began. Historians speak cf an event which separates ancient from modern times. It 1s called the ‘‘revival of learning.’’ It is not easy to fix the year when this *todk place. It was when England, weary of the long Wars of the Roses, reposed under the firm hand of Henry VII.; when France was ruled by the constructive genius of Louis XI.; when th Western | people are boundto have the chills, and they | inculcates | the habit of remembering there are laws to be | infamous test oath and to provide for honest juries, if nothing else had deen accomplished, | Jefferson | savage men; that they, with fearless hands, Spaniard had overcome the Moor, and the Turk had captured Constantinople. It was when science began to read the heavens aright; | ‘when the art of painting burst into full flower upon the easels of Titian and Leonardo; when Galileo invented the compass and the pendu- lum; when the ancient writers, long immured in the eloister, came forth and spoke again to living men; but of all the events of that time, the most important event, and the one of the. most farereaching conse- quence to mankind—greater than all battles, inventions and paintings—was the discovery of America. That was an achievement in the very spirit of the new times. Instead of the- orizing himself, or resting upon the theories of others as to what lay beyond the ocean. Columbus took ship and went to see what was there. The spirit of Liberty inspired his heroic soul, and so at the very dawn ofthe new civilization—of the civilization of the peo- ple—America appeared ‘‘a titting prologue to the swelling act of the Imperial theme.’’ When emigration to America began, the causes Which produced it were such as acted upon the masses of the people. At that time Europe was given overto contentions ard wars growing outof religious differences. Those who were defeated came here. Here came Presbyterians and Quakers, Covenanters and Catholics, Huguenot and Cavalier. Irish- men who were driven from their homes by Cromwell’s troopers, and Germans whose country had been laid waste by the soldiery of Louis XIV. All the European races, languages, sects, churches, parties and fac- tions were represented here. At the close of the revolution there were some who thought that a monarchy should be established here. Butthe people knew that the ambitions, jealousies, hatreds, ignorance and superstitions of kings had been the causes of frequent warsin Europe. They had seen the bigotry ofa man produce one war, and they had seen the caprice of a woman produce another. They were determined that that form of danger should never assail the Govern- ment which they. established here. And so, the second great right which the people se- cured to themselves was the right of self-gov- ernment. But it soon appeared that neither the right to worship nor tne right to govern could long be preserved by an ignorant peo- ple. That power over the ignorant soon falls, by laws which cannot be resisted, into the hands of the intelligent. And, therefore, an- vther right was soon secured, the right of each citizen to be educated at the expense of the State. Weare so accustomed to this great privilege that we do not know its value. It is the education of the people which has given its character to our time. In truth, our age is not specially distin- guished for its achievements in letters or in the arts. It is clearly not an age of poetry or romance. If called upon to describe this cen- tury we would all agree that it has been the century of invention. There has always been in our country a class of men who distrusted the people and did not believe in their capacity for self-government. This class still exists among us. True, few openly express such opinions, but they are Springfield (Ii.) Journal: Western newspa- | uttered tn private, and they powerfully in- fiuence our parties. The President of the Unit- ed States has, during the last few wecks, sent to Congress veto after veto, which are based upon the opinion that if left to them- selves the people will not protect the ballot- box. A little while ago the Legislature of this State proposed to take from the people in our cities the right of self-government, and so there are some who oppose popular educa- tion. My fellow-citizens, these opinions all | come from one source—they all come from It pays,too.in more ways | . 2 x | that distrust of man’s fitness for self-govern- ment which from the earliest day has beena controlling force in human affairs, and upon which nearly ali the governments in the world are founded. The spirit which decries popu- lar education and demands that armed soldiers shall surround the polling place is the same spirit which urged George III. to tax the ' colonies, which led Charles I. tothe scaffold, and which has been the excuse of tyrants in | every age. In the first years of the Republic this socie- ‘ | ty was rac i -nces The Democratic party | ty s formed to counteract the influences of can well afford to take the responsibility of the | an aristocratic association, to keep alive the spirit of liberty in the hearts of the living,and to hand it down unimpaired to future genera- tions. Do not think this an idle task. Insome way, Americans in every generation must make good their claim to the blessings they enjoy. No man con foresee the form of danger nor the direction from which it will come. Perhaps not in the dread shape of for- eign or civil war; it may then be some secret or subtle foe, more to be dreaded than the foreign enemy or domestic treason. But, when we remember what the plain people of this land have done—that they planted the early settlements upon these coasts, and de- fended them against savage nature and more cut the ties which bound them to the mother country; that they devised and put in opera- tion these governments over nation, State, and citv; that they, first among men, made good the right to worship, the right to govern and the right to knowledge; that they knew how to defend their country and make it free; that they have resisted every allurement to dishonor; that they have been able to deal successfully with every problem of public policy, and that in all straits the in- stincts of the people haye been wiser than the wisdom of the wisest—when we remember these achievements, the greatness of which the imagination cannot measure, we will have no doubt about the future. The people will be equal to every peril, in whatever form it comes, and will raise the Republic to uncon- ceived heights of greatness and glory. A ee DOIN Objections to St. Louis as the National Capital. The New York Herald, in an article advo- cating the removal of the National Capital to New York, says: ‘*We give no heed to the Western clamor for the removal of the seat of government to St. Louis. St. Louis has even a more torrid sum- mer climate than Washington, although it is less subject to malaria. There is nothing in the argument for locating the National Capital in the geographical center, or even at the cen- ter of population. This might have been a good argument previous to our modern facil- ities for cheap and rapid travel, but it is obso- lete in this age of railways. The seat of gov- ernment should be at the great center of com- merce and exchanges, and of intelligence, cul- ture, social refinement and civilization; at the place where a vigilant and powerful press can keep immediate watch on the proceedings of the Government, and where the rapid inter- change of ideas would enable our legislators to keep abreast of the most enlightened thought of the age.’’ ‘ The ‘*Pinafore” at Uhrig’s. The Stewart Comedy Company, who have been playing‘‘H. M. S. Pimafore’’ at Uhrig’s Cave Garden for the past two weeks, have met with a great deal of success, financially and artistically. Large audiences have attended the performances and the patronizing public have been so highly pleased that the company has been prevailed on to remain a short time longer and will continue to give ‘‘Pinafore’’ each evening this week, with the additional at- traction of the musical farce‘:Jenny Lind,’’ a very mirthful and enjoyable bit of melody, re- plete with humorous situations and smart sayings. ‘*Pinafore’’ will be given with the same caste as heretofore, while the charac- ters in ‘‘Jenny Lind’’will be assigned to com- petent members of the company. —_———_— ——E —_- Something Unusual.

The Labor Performed, Meals, Baths, and the Discipline. - — >_> The ‘‘Bull Rung” Torture for Refractory Culprits. The rock pile,or reformatory for the punish- ment of the smaller violations of the law, is one of the necessary institutions in all large cities. From the statistics given below it will be evident that St. Louis is no exception to the rule. ; A PosT-DISPATCH reporter yesterday visit- ed the City Work-house, situated four blocks south of the southern terminus of the Fifth streetcar line. The gong at the entrance to the premises was answered by one of the guards, who informed the reporter that Su- perintendent Groffman had left for the city a few hours before and had not since returned, but that the de- sired information concerning the workings of the institution would be willingly given by Mr.Culkin, who had charge in Mr.Groffman’s absence. : In point of beauty the St. Louis Work- house dees not compare to advantage with institutions of asimilar character in many of the large cities of the United States, but as far as order and method are concerned, itis safe to say that it is excelled by none. Nearly two squares are occupied by the St. Louis Work-house. A portion of this ground is used for raising vege- tables that are consumed by the prisoners. The remainder is occupied by buildings. The male department is separated from the fe- male, and contains forty-one cells, each of which at present holds at least five prisoners. The female portion has forty-three cells, each of whichis now occupied by two persons. From the gentlemanly clerk, Mr. Culkin, the following INTERESTING STATISTICS were obtained. The daily average number of prisoners confined in the Work-house for the past six months has been as follows: January, 9911-5; February, 250; March, 247; April, 263 1-3; May, 289; June, 3311-2. The daily average for June is the largest for any month during the past two years. The daily average cost of the sustenance of a _ prisoner is 12 1-4 cents, and that of an officer about 35 eents. The pay roll for the same period of time has averaged $1,128 per month, Yesterday there were 549 prison- ers inthe Work-house; 249 male and 100 fe- male. The sexes retain about this ratio throughout the year. In consequence of the large number of prisoners to be cared for just now, 71 males and 29 females, who had very nearly worked out their sen- tences, were released last night, it being the first term they spent there, and having faithfully promised not to return. The female prisoners are emploved in the sewing-room, officers’ kitchen, wash-house. sweeping and scrubbing, and on the rock pile. Of the males some work as assistants in the carpenter and blacksmith shops, stable and prisoners’ kitchen, and others in the yard, breaking the large rock for the women in the quarry, wWwhitewash- ing, and in grading and excavation gangs. The prisoners rise at 6:30 o’clock inthe moru- ing, and after breakfasting on corn bread, molasses and coffee, go to work. They re- turn at noon to partake of a very substantial dinner of bread, meat, soup, and one kind of vegetable. They return from their occupa- tions for supper about 6 o’clock, when bread and a soup containing cut-up meat are dealt out to them. The different portions of the BUILDINGS WERE THEN VISITED. The first was the prisoners’ dining room. At every two feet onthe long narrow table that extended the whole length of the room was a large bowl, aspoon anda handful of salt. The room itself was newly white- washed, hung with framed mottoes and scru- pulously clean. Mr. Theo. Emmiling, who Las charge of the culinary de- partment, and the other oflicers thought that the late grand jury did the management an injustice in their re- port, in which they said that the Work-house might be kept somewhatcleaner. At thetime the grand jury made the visit it was raining, and the prisoners had just returned, and, ‘as both men and women use tobacco, the floor could not present a very choice appearance. They also claim that, on the day of the visit, the departments were just receiving a coat of whitewash, which made things look dirty and disorderly. Passing through the kitchen, in which there was some first-class roast pork being prepared for dinner, the prisoners’ department was reached. In both the male and female portions there is a large bath. where the inmates are obliged, for the sake of health, to wash themselves at stated times. The male department was next vis- ited. Confined in one of the cells with several other prisoners was a man named Adam Spade, fifty years of age, whose appearance indicated nothing more than a slovenly work- man. Whilethe reporter was standing before his cell, the man idly took a sheet of letter paper and a pair of shears. He doubled the paper and began cutting it. In the course of half an hour he called one of the guards and gave him the paper, which now was a representation of Eve tempting Adam to eat the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Paradise. The representa- tion of the limbs of the tree was excellent. If placed over a dark surface and set off to any advantage, the little thing would make a choice mantel ornament. He had also, during this time, cut a similar one of a lady presenting a shield to a gentleman under an arbor. This was alsoso well done that, were it placed on 3 good background and removed a short distance, it would be dif- ficult to say whether it was not wax work in- stead of asimple piece ofpaper. Many of the lines representing the stems of the leaves in both pieces of paper were little wider thana thread. Though six days of the week Adam shovels riprap inte carts, on the seventh he can do ‘‘some very nice tricks with shears and pa- pers’’ in his spare moments. In another cell a young man, committed for lounging and loafing, was engaged cutting a fellow-prisoner’s hair, which he did with dexterity and in good style. THE PRISONERS whiled away the time in various ways. Some sat in corners doggedly brooding over their condition while others who succeeded in con- tenting themselves with their surroundings enjoyed a game of euchre or sang some lively song. An old man named James Daily, sixty- five years of age, occupied one of the cells, James’ maiden offenase—drunk and disorderly —was committed eighteen years ago, and gained for him a bunk in the Work-house, that was just then being built. Ever since then Jim has been a Visitor at the institution at least three times a year. He reasonsthe difficulty out. He says that if he ‘‘can get along better in- side the Work-house than outside it’s better for him to be inside, and it’s very easy to get there. Just by taking some little thing so that the owner will catch you.’’ Paddy Short, Jim Nash, Jim Donnelly and Patrick Whelan are gentlemen that occupy apartments Eliza has s mania for going to butchers’ stands and after depositing five cents for a sotp- bone quietly walking off with a ham valued at a few dollars dangling under her apron. Blanche Schoomaker is another lady that is a frequent visitor of the place. Blanche’s failing is drink, under the influence of which she makes things how! generally. In case of a prisoner BEHAVING HIMSELF BADLY or refusing to do work allotted to him, an in- * atitution called the ‘*Bull Ring’’ is called in- toservice. The *‘‘Bull Ring’’ isasmall room with but a small opening in the top of the deor. The prisoner is placed inside and the door locked. During his incarceration, he isfed on bread and water. It is next to impossible for him to obtain any rest while confined, as there is no furniture in the room, and on every four inches of the floor there is a small board about an inch in height, which makes the surface so uneven that it would more torture the prisoner to attempt to lie down than refresh him. Should this not subdue the prisoner, his arms are tied up toa post at his back. This never fails to bring him under control. As the reporter was about to leavea young girl was admitted to see a wayward brother, having obtained the aecessary permit from the Mayer. Inone hand she carried a basket, and in the other a dinner bucket. The form- er contained some clean underclothes and the latter a ple and some fruit for him. When he came from his cell to her in the yard, with his chains cianking after him the child’s eyes filled with tears, which she hid from him lest it would arouse in him the same feelings his chains had in ber. While the guard was examining the contents of the basket, as is the custom, she drew from her pocket a handkerchief, one corner of which was tightly knotted. She loosened the knot and took from the corner a few nickels, which she gave tohim. He at first refused to accept the money, but she offered it more earnestly, and as he reached out his hand to take, the broth- er’s and sister’s eyes met and filled with tears. At one glance they read each other’s thoughts, Mr. Groffman hopes in a short time to make the Work-house SELF-SUSTAINING. The sources of revenue are from work done for the city and fines and fees collected from the prisoners. Mr. Groffman contracts io farnish the city with macadam and rip-rap at a certain price. In _ receipt for this he gives a warrant, which is filed in the City Treasurer’s office to the credit of the Work-house. To an outsider it would appear that the risoners confined in the Work-house enjoy Fite better than many of the laboring classes who inhabit the hovels and tenements throughout the city, but the simple fact that they bave not their liberty is sufficient pun- isbment for their offenses. - — GOSSIP OF THE STREETS.

Independence Democrat: On Wednesday Marsbal Langhorne arrested, on a warrant from Paola, Kansas. Wm. Murray, for horse stealing. Murray brought the horse to Kansas City and sold him. Hetook the horse from a farmer living in the neighborhood ef Paola. Murray says that he did not steal the horse, but that he had been working for the man and that he refused to pay him, and that he (Mur- ray) took the horse for his pay. The man who steamer on the river Doubs, lost the horse came down after him. Murray is in jail here awaiting the action of the grand jury. Paris Mereury: We have in this country im- mense mines of silver, which yield millions of collars annually. Now, kind reader, what do you think of a Government or a party that would destroy all this wealth at one stroke ot the legislative pen? Do you say that demone- tizing does not destroy this wealth? Butit does. To the extent to whieh that silver would pe used as money in this country the destruction is direct. That embraces about all of it. Now, as to the balance, if a great silver-producing country can aftord to demonetize, ail other na- tions certainly can afford it. This makesthe demonetization complete and the destruction of all our silver wealth total. Bolivar Press:*A woman arrived in town last Wednesday evening, and if the story she told be true the brute she calls husband should be punished. She said that herself, husband and children, one of them only six months oid, were moving from Bates county, and that at Humansvilie her husband sent her into a store to do some trading, and while she was in the store he drove off and left her, taking all the children and everything else except a little trunk. She walked from Humansville to this place the next day, and the man who driyes the stage to Springf@eld told her he saw her husband about ten miles this side of that city. She was cared for here over night, and in the morning Mr. Green gave her free passage to Springfield, where she claimed to have friends.

‘PEOPLED PARKS. How Yesterday Was Observed by Half of the City. —_—__—_——-—--—_—-—" The Great Heat Forgotten Amid the Fountains and Flowers. Yesterday was a day of quiet, blissful rest, after the boisterousness of the glorious day we celebrate. The delightful weather drove many thousands to the parks, and during the after- noon even the most insignificant of these out-door breathing spots were more than comfortably filled. The crowds in at- tendance were principally composed of the better classes, and there was but little of the rough and rowdy element observable. Hun- dreds of carriages were out, and, all in all, a more peaceful or enjoyable Sabbath could not have been conceived of. Lafayette Park. This popular park of the people was more largely patronized ‘than any during the day. No matter from which direction the deluge of sunshine fell, there were always plenty of shady interstices to be found, where husbands and wives could talk over the past week and watch their children playing near, and where lovers could ensconce their precious selves on benches that were de- signed for only two, and whisper those sweet nothings that could be of no passing interest to the wide, wide world, and were made all the © sweeter by the situation. There seemed a subdued pleasure enveloping every blade 0’ grass, shrub, tree, grotto and pool that was not marred by the merriment of the children or the tread of older feet. The avenues about the lake were especially thronged, and the rowboats were gliding from shore to shore over its pel- lucid waters, as if conscious of the fact that they bore fashion’s fair. The water-fowls swam gracefullyto and fro or basked about the confines of their enclosure, and the finny inhabitants gathered at the descents and caught lazily at the bits of confections that everybody’s babies and nurse-girls cast into the water. There wasno music except nature’s, there was no need of the artificial, and day faded into gloaming, gloaming passed into twilight and twilight as mysteriously gave way tosweet night without the serenity being disturbed. St. Louis Place. Tothe citizens of the northern portions of the city St. Louis Place is a favorite resort of evenings, and astro]l through its walks and commons will show more heads of families and children than »ny other park in the city, with the single exception of Lafayette Park. Last evening there was noted a profusion of babies, making pleasant din of the otherwise quiet surroundings. There were Centennial babies, babies less in age by a year, babies that could but toddle, and babies that could only lie and blink their eyes at the green of the shrubbery and the variegated hues of the flowers,and wonder, in a vague, indefinite sort of way, what the objects of their feeble gaze could be. A few small harmoni- cons piped by still larger babics furnished the music for the occasion, and the droning of the many insects added to that jarred the monoto- ny in a most agreeable manner. , For some time past this park has been in- fested by a gang of rowdies, whohave taken advantage of the enforced absence of the police—owing to the large area covered by each patrolman in the Fourth Distritt—to in- sultand annoy ladiesand young girls who visit this pleasant resort. But Saturday night the hoodlums came to grief. A squad of police paid them an unceremonious visit,and citizens living in the vicinity thought for atime the carpet-cleaning brigade had taken possession ofthe grounds, so vigorous and rapidlv were the whacks distributed on the persons of the fiving roughs. The same treatment was re- peated last evening, the gang was completely routed and given to understand that their con- auct would be no longer tolerated, much to the relief and gratification of the good people | of the neighborhood. Tower Grove Park. A prettier bit of estate cannot be found within the city limits than Tower Grove Park, and it is just far enough removed from the | whirr and din of the busy city to give it an air of privacy. It is well kept, and as a matter of course when a PoOST-DISPATCH representa- tive entered its eastern portals yesterday af- ternoon «a good number of visitors were found. Although it was quite 5 o’clock extra cars | were being run over the Gravois Road Street Railway extension, stiflingly crowded,in order to accommodate.the pleasure seekers desirous of visiting this resort, and a profusion of car- | riages were arriving. During a sojourn of an hour spent in wandering among its evergreens, flowers. fountains and statuary, no place from the intrusion of guests was found. Missouri Park. to 9 o’clock tiast and promenades night the Missouri Up benches of Park were thronged with the rank and file of the city. The centra) location of this park rather adds than detracts to its merits in the | eyes ef one and all, and a stroll through it six | out of the year has become a daily | No carriages er | vehicles are admitted within its slight enclos- | ure, and but one fountain makes sweet music neverthe- | in | months habit with many hundreds. falling waters; but less the multitude recognize it a resting place and_ attest’ that recognition by a visit of evenings whenever business is not too urgent. with its Forest Park. yesterday afternoon Forest vast driving and Throughout Park was made one riding boulevard. Private turn-outs, carriages, phaetons, hacks and light road wagons were as numerous as bees in a field of sweet clover, while horsemen and women, tlre latter in the jauntiest of riding habits, were en- countered at every turn. All seemed bent on one day’s profound enjoyment,and the shaded, graveled roadway, free from dust,and the soft breeze that found its way. along them and up and down the hillsides toying with every leaf and flower, only served to further that univer- sal bent. Lindell Park. many people the Sabbath at Lindell Park. While it smacks’ considerably of a private enterprise, its proprietor endeavors to make every one feel at home who enters with- in its walls. There was nomusic or festivi- ties of any kind, but the well shaded, heavily- swarded elevations and miniature hollows af- forded convenient picnicking places, which were taken advantage of with a strong zest. A great spent Washington Square. But few tramps and bummers were allowed to beat benches in this little bit of green yes- terday. The surrounding neighborhood turned out and took possession and held it until a late hour, and, after that, it was doub- ly under pelice surveillance. Although its surroundings are miserable in many respects, it is a favorite retreat of the working classes, and sbeuld be more properly cared for. Hyde Park. Hyde Park proves a pleasant resort for a majority of the Germans of the northern part of the city, and last evening they were outin force. Some had their lunch baskets and enjoyed a pleasant repast washed. down by the flowing amber from the brewery chris- tened for the par There were no pyrotech- nic displays as two evenings before. but the evenings there was spent justas pleasantly for all that. ick Saye hes ot.

Murder of a Renegade Member of the Society—The Assassin Rescued by the Crowd. {Correspondence of the London Times. ]J ROME, June 13.—A criminal case of more than ordinary interest is now being tried at Naples. It is that of six members of the Ca- morra—Raffaele Esposito and five accom- plices, or rather mandatories—for the murder, on the 10th of August, 1877, of a certain Vin- cenzo Borrelli. The victim was an old mem- berand dignitary of the association who had turned spy and informer. His proceedings had become a source of so much inconveni- ence to his old companions, among whom he still lived in the Atrio de Cavallo,§ that they finally determined to put him out of the way. The men now beimg tried accordingly agreed to sup together at a wine shop and decide how the deed was to be done and who shou!d doit. They drew lots and the task fell to Raffaele Esposito, nicknamed ‘ ‘II Passeriello’’ (the little sparrow). Accerding to one report Borrelli’s mistress owed hima few sous. He had asked her for payment; she refused and he struck her, whereupon she threatened him with Borrelli’s vengeance. At this he took fright, gave her money and other presents, but in.vain,and then the Camorristi, xlad of the opportunity of finding a ready instrument for getting rid of .the object of their hatred and fear, worked upon Esposito to kill him and gave him the means. Whieh- ever may be the exact version,the leading fea- tures are the same. Borrelli’s death was de- creed. Esposito lay in wait for his victim and fired at him from behind, but the shot not proving at once fatal, Borrelli had time to recognize his assailant, to call him by name and to cry out for pursuit. Somesoldiers who were near started after him and caught him, but a crowd as quickly dashed to the rescue, and the soldiers, in danger of being tora to pieces, had to _ relinquish’ their _pris- oner. The next day all the haunts of the Camorra were in a state of intense excitement. Collectors Went about gathering contributions to insure Esposito’s escape, and in the evening a tumultuous crowd of women went off to the dead-house of the cemetery, where the murdered man’s body had been taken, and, getting possession of it, subjected it to indescribable — indignities. A few days later Esposito, finding there was ne chance of eluding the vigilance of the police, or at the instance, as one account has it, of a priest to whom he had gone to confess, determined to give himself up. Onthe day he was commit- ted to prison an immense multitude, in obedi- ence to the Camorra, thronged the streets through which the police had to lead him, and as he passed they threw him money and cigars and showered flowers upon him. He went to gaolasif he was a hero and martyr rather than acriminal. This demonstration aroused the authorities to the folly of the in- difference if not the indulgence with which they had treated the Camorra. The police were set to work with unusual activity, the accomplices of Esposito were soon secured, and it is stated that the process of instruction, which bas taken two years to complete, has led to the arrest and indictment of as many as seventy-eight membeis of the association. The question remains, What will they do with them, and will the Neapolitan jury find ex- tenuating circumstances in favor of the men now on trial? Superiority of the Women. The Raleigh (N.C.) Observer says: Abani of colored cotton-choppers,composed of g dozen women andas many men,have been moving trom farm to tarm and chopping out the cot- ton bythe dayin apartof this country. Yes- terday nine of the men struck work, threw down their hoes, and swore thatthe sun was too hottor them, that they could not bear it. The women heid on till the last row was chopped out, andthen walked off with their wages, All our traditions are breaking and slipping awuy from us.

The Tower is 175 feet high, being the highest Roman Corfathian column in the world. The river,. from the top of the Tower, is singular}y interesting. Men look like children; children look like babies; small houses look like toy hewses; large houses look like small houses. A good glass and aclear day adds much to the entertain- ment.

At midday it is warm,:on aeeount 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. coves We Me A» WOLFF ®eeee ea.

Project for an Exhibition of South American Products in St. Louis. A project is on foot to establish a permanent exhibition in this city of Mexican and other South.American products and manufactured The Mexican Consul, Mr. John F. Cabill, has been for some time. in communication with the Mexican Government onthe subject, and the latter has resolved to aid the enterprise. A building is to be erected in some central lo- cality in the city very shortly, in which the exhibition will be held. Contributions of goods, products and articles of all kinds have been promised from Mexico, the Central American and South Amer- ican States. Thus a most unique and attractive Spanish-American exhibition will be formed. It willalso be a kind of ex- change to facilitate the increase of commercial intercourse between South: America and St. Louis. This permanent exhibition will be the first of its kind ever established in America, and will form another interesting feature to all visitors to the Future Greata~ The enterprising Cahill Mr. fe is pushing the project to completion with his sual energy. The Mexican press give the subject its most cordial approbation and the Mexican merchants heartily endorse it and have promised a ‘hearty co-operation and a large supply of exhibits. In a short time, it is expected,the Permanent Exhibition will be a fixedfact. | ee A New Police Station. Some of the people of Cote Brilliante have purchased a lot of ground at the corner of Clay avenue and the St. Charles Rock Road, and presented it to the Board of Police Commis- sioners with the ~ request that they erect a . suitable building for the accommodation of the mounted police. It is expected that avery handsome building will be put up and that the new station will be the headquarters forall the mounted police beyond Grand avenue. The people of Cote Brilliante are also working for ether improvements. They want . better means of transportation to and from the city. The present line of street cars is notoriously insufficient. This was wofully apparent on the day of the sham battle. LOCAL PERSONALS. Fy is at Barnum’s. Pa., is at Col. J. B. Johnston, Idaho, Capt. W. J. Kountz, Alleghany, Barnum’s. Richard E.

Thieves, Burglars and Other Malefac- tors in Limbo. Criminal Brevities Gathered from the Police Registers. Old Offenders. Ned Lundy and Tom Brennan have been ar- rested by the police of the Third District on a charge of grand larceny, at the instigation of R. Robinson, of No. 718 Olive street. Robin- son alleges that on the night of the 4th inst. the defendants went through his pockets near the corner of Fifth and Mor- gan streets, securing $132 in good and lawful money. Lundy and Brennan, who are old offenders, were transferred to jail to-day, and their case was docketed for next Wednesday in the Court of Criminal Correction. An Incorrigible Lad. John Edwards, a little lad of eight years of age, appeared before Judge Cady to-day to answer to a charge of petit larceny, in stealing a few pounds of pig-iron, all of the value of twenty-five cents, from William E. Marlow on the Levee last Monday. The little fellow was arrested on last Tuesday and committed to jail, and the Court conclud- ed that six days in jail and the loss of the Fourth of July was suflicient punishment and continued the case generally, with a severe lecture free gratis. Smith's Sentence. Judge Jecko fined George Smith, a colored individual, $25 and costs this morning, ona charge of disturbing the peace of an entire family of colored people in the yicinity of Seventh and Walnut streets last evening. George, who is a_ very filY young fellow, endeavored to put Annie Kinney to sleep with a rock, and also hurled several ar- ticles of furniture at her. Officer Mike Walsh took him into the Station-house, and his own testimony fixed him for the summer. On His Muscle. John Kennard appeared before Judge Jecko this morning to answer to a charge of disturb- ing the peace of one of the waiters froim Scbhnaider’s Garden at midnight last night. Kennard asked the fellow for a rose from his bouquet, which was refused. and by way of getting satisfaction he knocked him down and took to his heels. Officer Barnes arrested Kennard, and at the conclusion of the examination fined him $20 and costs. The fine was paid. For Beating a Woman. Louis Pettier will, unless a miracle is en- acted or he makes a hit on ‘‘policy,’’ go to the Work-bouse for forty-six days. He dis- turbed the peace of Ellen Carter, last night, on Almond street, by giving her a severe beating, and Officers Heffernan® and Dunn took him into custody. He came before Judge Jecko, in the First District Police Court, this morning, and, on a hearing of the case, a fine of $20 and costs was imposed. A Light Sentence. The case against Thomas Burk, Thomas Gerkie, Michael Woodlock, Thomas Foy and James Darcy was called in the Court of Crim- inal Correction under a charge of petit laceny, this morning, .and dismissed at defendant’s costs. They were charged by Herman Schultz with stealing one wagon wheel of the value of three dollars, from the western part of the city, on the 22d of last month. A Costly Swim. William Winter went bathing last evening about 6 o’clockin a pond out on Wyoming street. William proved a great annoyance to many ladies who were passing, and Officer Tyson, discovering him, persuaded him to come ashore, and escorted him to the police station. Costs and $5 was the fine entered in his case in the First ‘District Police Court this morning. Pendergrast in the Toils. James Pendergrast isin trouble, and will, without a doubt, goto the rocks for a few months. Onlast Friday he went into the place of business of August Wissman, No. 1038 Broadway, and stole $10. He was arrested on a warrant of petit larceny this morning. committed to jail for lack of bond, and his case docketed for the 9th inst., before Judge Cady. Lewis’ Luck. George Lewis is under arrest on a charge of burglary in the second degree and larceny, the warrant which secured his capture being sworn out by Mr. Francis Davis, of No. 910 South Third street. On last Wednesday night Lewis effected an entrance into the above des- ignated number, and stole a quantity of no- tions, all of the value of $5. Escaped Easy. - Dismissed at prosecutor’s costs was the ° entry made in the case of John Pitzer,charged with committing an assault and battery on the person of Elizabeth Pitzer, his wife, at No. 2210 South Seventh street, on the 27th of last month. The suppositionis that Pitzer and his wife adjusted their little family jar, and wisely concluded to keep out of the courts. Held to Answer. A. M. Glower waived examination in the three C’s Court to-day on a charge of embez- zliement, and was committed to jail to answer in default of bond in the sum of $800. Glow- er’s alleged offense is for misappropriating $22 belonging to Rk. J- Morrison, of No. 705 Market street, while acting in the capacity of collector and agent. Dismissed. The case of Thomas Lonnergan, charged with assault to kill, was dismissed to-day be- fore Judge Cady, on account of the prosecut- ing witness failing to put in an appearance. On the 22d of last month Lonnergan Knifed Michael Cahill, inflicting pretty serious inju- rics. It is not known Why Cahill refused to prosecute. Gone to the Rocks. Charles Williams, who stole $13 from the cashier’s desk of Ira Boutell’s grocery at the Lindell Hotel a few days ago, was this morn- ing sentenced by Judge Cady to six months’ imprisonment in the Work-house.

Two deaths have already resulted from acci- dents that occurred on the Fourth. ASK grocers for Reed's Gilt Edge Tonic. THE heated term has at last fairly setin, and 2 large erop ot sunstrokes may be fairly anti- cipated. EUPION Oil is absolutely non-explosive. COMPARED with New York, the St. LouisJJac- cident catalogue for the Fourth is simply con- temptible.

FRANK BAKER'S biographical sketches of river reporters in the Cincinnati Marine Journal are getting more extraordinary with every number. That of the Post DISPATCH man, under date of July 3, is the most slander- ous of the whole. ery probably Mr. T. KE. Garrett, Dr. R. Harry O’Brien, and the gifted John Carter, Of this city, will be among the sa- tirical colonel’ ssketches. There is also fine game for Nim to bring @own in Memphis, Louis- ville and other cities. Vieksburg once rejoiced in a river editor who was among its best citt- zens,and is now a successful and respected business man of St. Louis. Bat it is presumed that Baker intends to impale only the news- paper wetenders now in the business, not any ot them who happily died or changed their oc- cupations. Wacha River Telegrams.
