The School Board meets to-night, and it is expected the committees ap pointed to investi- gate Messrs. Glynn and Sinclair will make their reports. A PoOST-DISPATCH reporter has interviewed an ex-city officer who is an intimate friend of one of the gentlemen on one of the commit- tees, ‘*‘What are they going todo with Glynn?’’ asked the reporter. ‘*Well, Lonly know from authority that so faras Mr. Glynnis concerned the committee will report that he has violated his oath in so far as to consider personally his own benefit in the casting of his vote onthis proposition of drawing. He makes the statement under oath that it was bread and butter to him to vote for the Dieh) svstem ot drawing,and remember, he also swears that if it was not for the fact of it being bread and butter he would vote tor the system thathe believed in his heart was the best, to-wit, the Smith system. Therefore you see the justness of the report of the committee that he has violated his obliga- tion asa member of the school board,’’ ‘*Did Lunderstand youtosay that the com.- mittee would be a unit on this matter of viola- tion of obligation and recommend to the board to declare his seat vacant?’’ ‘*T have understood that this would be their recommendation to the School Board to- night.’’ ‘*Well, what about Sinclair?’’ ‘‘Lam constantly in company with members of the School Board andI tell you the impres- sion ot some of them, because I have heard them say so. They say that Sin- clair, in giving his testimuny in regarl to whether he ever borrowed any money trom the officers of the School Board, swore fulsely, because, xs one ofthe me mbers said, he knew ot his own knowledge that Sinclair borrowed $200 trom the _ former archi- tect and also from the bailiff, and also from twoof the present officers of the Board; andl am told thatone of the sut- ferers of the present board has given up all hopes of getting his fifty back. %o you s6e whatastrong gripthey have on Sinclair.

The Motives for the Shooting—Condition of the Wounded Man. The Shooting. About 8 o’clock last night the saloon of Leonard Offerman, on the southeast corner of Fifth and Elm streets, was the scene of a shooting affray of the most approved sensa- tional order. The principals were Mrs. Julia Bende, wife of the proprietor of the Union Depot - Hotel, on Spruce _ street, just north of the Central Market, and Leonard Offermau, the proprietor of the saloon and the lady’s brother-in-law. Short- ly before 8 o’clock Mrs. Bende called at the saloon and informed Offerman that she de- sired a private audience with him. He re- fused to grantit, telling herto go up stairs and see her sister if she desired. and not speak to him. Hard words passed freely between the two, and then Offerman, catching the woman by the shoulders, endeavored to put her out of his saloon. He succeeded in getting her to the door, when she drew a small revolver which had been concealed beneath ber apron, and fired two shots point blank at her antagonist with the rapidity of thought. Offerman reeled, staggered and fell to the floor, and the woman, with the revolver in her hand, walked quietly out into the street, where she was taken into custody by Officer Willow. The pistol] reports and the news of the shooting spread like wildfire, and withinafew moments the saloon was thronged . with a crowd of the curious. Some of the wounded man’s friends were dispatched for Dr. Ludwig, and on the pbysician’s arrival the paticnt was car- ried up to his room above the saloon. An ex- amination of the wounds, two in number, showed one to be dangerous,and at first glance it looked as 1f one would prove fatal. It had evutered the left cneek uear the base, and ranged upwards and was thought to have lodged under the eye, The second shot had penetrated the fleshy part of the left arm above the elbow and was only painful. After an hour spent in probing the ball in the face was found and ex- tracted, and Mr. Offerman’s wounds were pronounced not necessarily dangerous. The cause of the shooting was at first a mystery, but on being properly inyes- tigated it was found to be the upshot of A FAMILY QUARREL. ¥ Offerman and Mrs. Bende have not friends for some months, and about, three weeks ago the latter’s mother went to reside with her son-in-law and youngest dauzhter. Offerman did not appreciate or tackle kindly to the accession to his family, as the old lady persisted in keeping up a quarrel be- tween husband and wife. On Sunday, while Offerman was giving his better-half a piece of the old lady interfered, and Offer- been on her and drove her out of doors. The dog obeyed his master’s bidding so far as to bite the woman in the left leg pretty seri- ously, and she returned to Mrs. Bende. Mrs. On yesterdav swollen to was very vengeance at first opportunity. old lady’s leg was a considerable degree, and and Mrs. Bende would give her brother-in-law a a way which his cruelty. She for quest to come over and see her, but Offerman expressly refused to do so. She then sent him a note by a # messenger, informing him that if he did not call at her hotel by a quarter to eight o’clock there would be trouble. At the hour mentioned in the note Offerman bad failed to put in an 1 Sag ges and. arming herself with arevolyer, the plucky German woman called on him with the above results. On being arrested, Mrs. Bende was taken to the Central District Station and assigned a cell, with bail refused, to await the result of her marksmanship. Mrs. Bende’s Statement. This morning, through the kindness of Capt. Lee and Sergeant Chapman, a Post- DISPATCH reporter was permitted to go down in the calaboose and hold a half-hour’s inter- view with Mrs. Bende. She was found in her cell, most noncommunicative§ ,and it was several minutes before she could be per- suaded to come to the door. On hearing that it was the PoOstT-DISPATCH which desired a statement from her, her mood, changed anl informing the scribe that it was her favorite paper, she expressed a willingness to make her first statement of the shooting. Passing into the examination room she drew a ebair near the grated window and, readjusting one of the coils of her hair with a steady hand, announced herseif in readiness for the pumping process. Mrs. Bende isa middle-aged woman, and every line of her kind though determined-looking face bears evidence of a life of toit, almost drudgery. Sheis about the medium stature of woman, rather inclined to adipose, and with a little better knowledge of the English language would be a brilliant conv er- sationalist. ™<‘*Mrs. Bende,’’ the interrogator began, ‘‘vou admit the shooting of Leonard Oilfer- man last night, do you net?’’ ‘*Certainly, certainlv,’’? was her ready an- awer, *‘and if you will just listen I will tell you why I done so, for Iwas acting in the right and would shoot him again if he was to abuse myself and motheras he has done again. I have expended several thousands of dollars on Offerman, and if he was any man he would not treat me the way he has done.’’ ‘*But why did you shoot him, Mrs. what had he done to you?’’ ' “You must wait and let me tell it, all about it, she answered; and then, after a pause, ‘‘in my own way. Leonard Offer- man married my youngest sister, whom 1 ed- ucated at a convent, and he had no money. I started him m business, and he was soon out. I started him again at Tivoli Hall. and he was soon Without a dollar again. .Then I helped bim to commence where he is_ located now. He has cost me i altogether almost $10,000. He never was good to his wife, and has beat her any number of times until she was black and blue. I would speak to him about mistreating her and he would tell me to shut up and —y { own business. Not long ago he borrowed from my old mother, and when his ar got sick she went over to nurse it, He did not treat her right, wanted to get rid of her, and on last Sunday when mother interfeied when ht was WHIPPING HIs WIFE he told her te leave and never-come back, and put the dog on her, which bit her twice.

Then he caught me by the shoulders and I shet him. I was arrested and brought here, ond here f will ay until Lam bailed out by mv husband, which I expect will be to-day some time. **T have had lots of troubie with my brother- in-laws,’’ Mrs. Bende resumed. ‘‘*There is John G. Zimmerer, who keeps the Green Tree Hotel, he owes me money, too.”’ Offerman’s Condition. Leonard Offerman, the wounded man, pass- ed last nightin restless pain. His injuries are very painful, and the wound in the face may prove fatal if inflammation, which will act directly on the brain, sets in. At any rate, it will be several days before he is out of danger. He feels very bitter towards Mrs. Bende, and will, in the case of his recovery, Wager a bitter prosecution against her under a charge of assault to kill. The general opinion seems to prevail that while Mrs. Bende acted too hastily inthe matter, Offerman deserved a chastisement of some nature for his brutal conduct tow vards his old mother-in- law. AN INSANE ACT. The Deadly Assault of Reeves on His Young Wife. A Rambling Interview With the Prisoner. His Incoherent Talk—Imagining He was About to be Poisoned—The Wife's Condition. William C. Reeves, who riddled his young wife with bullets at Dunhbam’s candy factory, on North Main street, yesterday afternoon, full particulars of which appeared in the | PostT-DISPATCH last evening, is passing a very restless day in the Central District Police Station. The wounded wile islying, half-dead with pain and fear, at her scantily-furnished home, No. 805 North Sixteenth street. She is all forgiveness. She whispers almost every minute that her husband did not intend to shoot her. She is surrounded by her family and friends, and is receiving all necessary at- tention. There can be but little doubt of Reeves’ in- sanity. The slassy stare of his eves would give the lie to any assertion tothe contrary if it was not for his rambling,incoherent remarks about the candy factory, athletic contests and his wife. He converses freely about the shoot- ing, and scems possessed of an insatiable desire for coffee. He complains of his head and nerves, but hoots at all ideas of his being in a demented eondition. He allowed himself to be interviewed bya representative of the Post-DIsPpAatcnH this morning, and spoke in the most business-like manner of his attempt to take his wife’s life. REEVES’ STATEMENT. ‘*Poor little Lizzie, never to bpeve shot her, said Reeves, his lips trembling at the thought of what he had done. Sheis utterly inecom- petent of sinning and lama brute to have ever thought unkindly of her or treated her harshly. “Do you know,’’ he continued ina more confidential tone, *‘that I used to beat her, not very bard, no, not very bard, and she loved me all the better. I used to go home so tired and my head just bursting, and would fan me and would pnat a cold rag on my forehead, and then I would strike her. Ihave woke up of nights and struck her as she lay sleeping by my side. I! will tell you why I shot her yesterday. We both went down to work and | asked her to ’7 she said she would. Well, at noon ora little past, we went to get our luneb, and when | had eaten a few bites I asked for the coffee. She had forgotten it. I went down and got some ice warer and as I was drinking it I came to the conclusion that Lizzie did not prepare me any coffee from the reason that she wanted to poison me, [then went right back to her and shot her. She ksows very well that I did not intend to doit, and forgave me right then andthere. My nerves are not right this hot weather. ’’ **Did she ever threaten 2 poe you?’’ **No; she never thought of such a thing.’’ **Was she false to you?’’ ‘*No; she had no other lover or friend, thinks the world and all of me. **Why, then, did you doubt her and at- tempt to murder her?’’ ‘*] guess it was this way. I caught her shak- ing out a towelin the bath-room one day not long ago and thought she was hunting for a package of something TO POISON ME, You must know thatthere is a doctor in this town who I believe would like to kill me, and i think that he was in_ conspiracy with my wife on that point. I used to get so out of patience when Lizzie would persist in fanning me at the supper table of an evening and not eat herself, end I got to thinking that she bad poisoned the food perhaps and would noteatofit. Irun her mother out ef the house and cursed her one Sunday night when she came over, because I thought she stood in with my wife in wanting to get rid of me. 1 don’t care what becomes of me now just so my little wife gets well again. I would rather die now than live, and rf she dies I will die too, for 1 would not live without her.’’ A COMMITTEE OF PHYSICIANS will examine Reeves some time during the latter part of this week, and itis most likely be his committal to some asylum for the insane. Shortly afier noon to-day the brother of Reeves’ wife swore out a warrant for his ar- rest on a charge of assault to kill and he was transferred to the City Jail lo answer at some future date. and — eee —_ THE GRA AND SUI RY.

ST. GEMS BOND. The Sureties on the Old One Decline to Sign the New One. - —_— It is Probable That the Collector Will Have to Vacate. On yesterday the Post-Disratcu published the fact that Mr. Gustavus 5t. Gem, Collector of this port, had been required by the Treasu- ry Department at Washington to give a new bond, and that the bond had not been given up to the present moment, The bond was to have - been given by July 1. Mr. St. Gem asked for ten days additional time. If the bond is not forthcoming by July 10 Mr.St. Gem will probably have to step down and ont. As soonas the Post- DISPATCH appeared yes- terday afternoon there was to be observed a great commotion In and about the Custom- house. Mr. St. Gem, all hisclerks, ali his friends, and all his enemies, read the article concerning the bond business_ with frightful avidity. The eflecta were quite diverse. Mr. St. Gem, tor instance, got very mad, and tried to TRAR UP THE BRICKS on the sidewalk. Another effect was the start- ing of three petitions in behaif of three men who want Mr. St. Gem's place. This would seem to indicate that the Delief in Mr. St. Gem's continuance in office is not strong in well-posted quarters. The truth about the matter, as it now stands, is that Mr. St. Gemisin a very worried state of mind. On yesterday be had his new bond about half made uD, and he is moving heaven and earth to-day tocomplete it. If he has any friends, they mnust now come to his reliet, or never. He ig like a ship, pretty well filied and ready to CAREEN OVER. He may make the bond and be may not. The robabilities are that he will not. Messrs. Jucas, Vulle and Kerens, who were on the old bond, co nor want to gO on the new one. Infact Messrs. Lucas and Ker- ens have refused to do so,and Mr. Valle is very luke-warm about it. If these gentlemen felt it is strange they decline to assume the responsibility @gain. Something bas cone wrong between Mr. st.

It is understoo@that the make a special investigatiom of the recent bank swindles. The public certainly demand that the investigation, should be thorough and fearless. St. Louis is populous with poor depositors ruined by the rascality of corrupt bank officials. If the guilty go unpunished there will be more ruined depositors and ruined homes. Every successful robbery is an invitation and incentive to another. A thieving bank cashier behind the peni- tentiary bars would have a most wholesome effect just now. Tnr murderous assault made by Reeves on his wife at the Dunham Candy Manu- factory yesterday isone of the most atro- cious crimes recorded in St. Louis for a long time. There seems to be no palliation for the deed, and, should the unfortunate woman die, it would bea shame to cheat the gallows of a victim who so richly de- serves the severest penalty of the law. A man who can so deliberately shoot and mangle his wife, whatever the provocation, does not merit the privilege of living, and should be disposed of as quickly as judge, jury and executioner can do their work. EVERY now and then the Eastern papers question whether in _— this begin discussing the we have an _ aristocracy country. If snobbishness is any sign of aristocracy we are the most aristocratic nation on the face of the earth, and our State Department is the most aristocratic institution extant.

To appoint a man to an office which he case of St. Gem, is only an apparent action of a bond which he cannot give.

ROMANCE IN DRY FIGURES. Cotton is no longer king. Still, though King Cotton is dead, we ac- tually produce more of that staple and receive more for it from Europe than ever before. liow is this? Simply because, while there has been a steady growth and increase of our cotton crop, the growth of other products of the soil has been infinitely greater—so great | that cotton has ceased to be the first branch of our exports. Our grain crop and breadstuffs generally now yield us more than the largest cotton | crop ever yielded. The single new article of petroleum yields | now as much, having become—how many | |; aman. or few know it?—nearly as important a produce of export as cotton. The manufacture and export of butter and cheese has developed into a magnitude within the last few years which not even the most sanguine dreamed of. Yet there will be not less than 5,000,000 bales of cotton this year. Yet this country will receive for this sin- gle crude article of produce the sum of $220,000,000. Two hundred and twenty millions of dol- lars every year for a single article which is not the mest important in the list, is stilla very handsome item in the national cash book. No wonder our balance of trade contin- ues to remain so favorable. No wonder that after this country consumed everything it produced and bought everything it need- ed from Europe it still re- ceived 511 millions of dollars in the last two years from Europe for raw material or manufactured goods which it had left. No wonder this country is growing rich.

Republican journals quote with great gusto the following sentence from the Richmond Dispatch, trying to make po- litical capital out of it: ‘*We have known too sadly our republican experiences. We can hardly say whether we want a monarchy now or not.’’ Bat why Republican journals of the third term order should particularly object to the monarchical idea, or profess to do so, we do not exactly see. The radical and fundamental dif- ference between the constitu- tional monarchy and _ the is not in the choice of the legislature or the judiciary, butin the choice of the exec- republic utive. That is to say, in constitutional monarchi- ies the executive is not chosen by the peo- ple, while in the republic it is. republic people every four years, | But itis this essence of a republic, this | | the matter, and the | work at once to figure on the possible choice very fundamental difference which Repub- licans are trying to destroy. The assertion that the executive power must continue to remain in the hands of the Republican party in spite of the will and voice of the people, is monarchical, not re- publican. The theory that Grant must go back into spite of all the traditions of the country, is monarchical, not republican. The precedeat of a President’s inaugura- | tion who was clearly not elected by the | alate people is monarchical, not republican. The unmistakable tendency to carry elec- tions by force and fraud and first stifle and falsify and next defy the will of the people is monarchical, not republican.

In all his recent pastoral letters he. has called fec- ters pastors, and has really gone out of his way to disobey the instructions from Rome.’ **Gan you give any other instance?’’ — ‘*Yes. The decree requires that a synod be held quam primum (as soon as possible), at which «& council is to be. elect- ed, which shall consider questions of importance in church matters, and before which especially priests against whom charges haye been brought for removal can lay their statements.

The majority gave the reporter to understand that they did not think the Pope would place sishop Ryan over Archbishop head. A few declared favor of the Archbishop, ~ but did not want their names mentioned: fewer still believed that owing to certain complications between the Pepe and the principal church dignitary of this diocese there was no possi- bility of a choice being made between the Bishop and Archbishop, and many—nearly | all—asserted that St. Louis would furnish the coming addition to the College of Cardinals, but as, as has been stated above, no positive declaration Was made, no names are given.

In the case of rectors, who are to be presi- dents ofthe board, the archbishop holds the power of removal absolute in spite of the papal decree. It was the same case as thht of Darboys, who tried to get Louis Napoleon to pass a law to prevent priests from appealing to Rome. and which was the occasion of caus- ing Pius 1X. to write a five-column letter condemning such action.

Nic Guerden has presented the Modoc Club with two hammocks to put in their new boat- house. Blue and tan colored ribbons, the colors of the champion Modocs, are becoming very fashionable. The St. Louis Club have handed in applica- tion of admission to the Mississippi Valley Amateur Rowing Associaton ‘ We hear nothing nowadays about the West- ern Rowing Club. This is the oldest rowing club inthe city, but should be making more of a stir. Ladies, the colors of the Modoc Club are blue andtan. Very beautiful flagscould be easily gotten up with these colors, ‘‘A word to the wise,’’ etc. Ferris and Cole, of the 8t. Louis Modocs, are Cornell men; Jones, Dillon and Taussig have figured in Hai vard crews, all of which makes it more binding. The new paper barge ‘‘ Anheuser’’ with which the Modocs intend running the barge race at Keokuk was out last evening. She ig by far the handsomest and fastest boat on the river. The race onthe Fourth ef July between the ‘‘Ingersoll’’ and ‘‘St. John’’ was won by the latter, and the oarsmen will receive the beauti- ful uniform rowing caps offered as a prize by M. J. Steinberg. The junior four-oar crew of the Modoc Club leave for Keokuk this afternoon. Ernest Cole, stroke; Geo. Brungard, No. 2; C. A. Green, No. 3;dacob Stumpf, bow. They will have a week’s practice over the course before the race.

A Remarkable Stories, Fish Stories, | Fronvthe Charleston News and Courier. } . While Mr. Henry May was fishing with a party on Thursday morning, near Fort Rip- ley, in the yacht Uncle Peter, and the vessel was lying at anchor, all of a sudden without apparent cause she started off at a frightful speed. The cause, however, was soon ex- plained by « huge devilfish rising tothe sur¢ face of the water, with the anchor-rope fas- tened to one of its fins. A small ftishing-boat Was soon caught, too, by its anchor-rope be- ing entangled with that of the Uncle Peter. The fish then went straight for Fort Ripley with both boats, but as soon as it would get near the shoal water it would shy off again and make forthe channel. The fishing boat soon cut loose, but the Uncle Peter yas car- ried twice round Fort Ripley, and it was nearly an hour before the devilfish finally let go. The anchor-rope was covered with a thick slime which could not be removed. There was po harpoon on boaid the Uncle Pe- ter.

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer. WASHINGTON.: July 1, 1879.—On Friday we attended by invitation the anaual distribu- tion of premiums at Georgetown Convent, which you know is cne of the oldest educa- tional institutions in this country. Tt was founded in 1799, and is under the supervision of the Sisters ef St. Francis de Sales, or as they are better known, ‘‘The Sfsters of the Visitation.’’ The buildings cover a square of ground, are filled in withevery modern im- provement—that is, have steam heat, gas- light, elevator, etc. There are _ lovely grounds, in which the pupils keep fresh the roses on their cheeks, and a farm to which in fine weather they are obliged to go every day after dinner. In ante-bellum days the patronage of these Roman Catholic convents atid colleges came from the South, and the catalogues held few names of northern patrons, and fewer still of those whose homes lay near the setting sun. The Southern people were rich, their schools were not up to a progressive e standard,and they sent their children north to get what was not easily rocurable at home—an education. I have cnown five daughters of a family to be at the same academy, “each receiving in proportion to her age and capacity every advantage that money could pay for. Nor were these people all of the Roman faith. Every denomin- ation was then, as it ‘is now, represented; girls of the Protest- ant religion and girls with no religion, all came to the good Sisters or the holy Fathers to jearn what they might. Now all this is changed, and the chef support of these re- ligious seminaries comes from your great West. The balance of wealth is there; the thirst for knowledgeds there. and the desire for cukure is growing stronger every vear. FromCalifornia come the daughters of Bonan- za Kiigs, from the Territories come the chil- dren >farmy men and wealthy settlers, and fromthe older Western States there are scores of pupils representing every class, including the nerchant, the farmer and the professional war. Iwas particularly struck by this fact on Frilay, when I listened to the salutatory and , thevaledictory, both composed and read by Wastern girls. Within ‘the Convent, ina fine hall, built for the purpose, take place these exercises called *‘ Distribution.’’ There was a dense throng filing the auditorium, crowding the aisles, and extending itself out into the ball. Ona raised platform “sat the craduates, a few distinguish- ed guests, and thereon were also placed the pianos. harps, crowns, meda! and premiums. THE ARC HPS = 9P of Baltimore was the o} > ers.

There was a gown of soft, trailing purple silk, over * hich was a rich vestment of costly lace, and tien a cape of the same royal-hued silk bound with sear et A long gold chain was about his neck, from which depended a gliltering cross. Near him sat the wife of GENERAL SHERMAN, one of the most delightful women in the world, a devout Catholic, a perfect Christian. The twoterms are not always synonymous. Her heart is everready to respond to the ery of suffering and her hands always willing to relieve the distressed. Herlifeisa long se- ries of well-carried-out, generous impulses. She 1s steadfast in her love of justice to all,and never allows a thought of self to come as dis- criminating judge ’twixt an opinion of Tight and wrong. Mrs. Sherman devoted wife, mother and friend, : can think of no one whose return to ington has been hailed with so many genuine expressions of welcome and love as hers. Next 4 her were | MR. AND MRS.

Mrs. Christinas, of Mississippi, had with her the Chinese Embassy, and I as- sure youthe incoming of the silken-: ‘ed, biaseved, copper-collored followers of Con- fucius produced a sensation. They wore the Oriental costume, which you Know is a blouse of rich brocade satin, extending below the knees: Turkish trousers of fing white silk fas- tened at the ankle, just as a gentleman ties the rings of his: drawers; white silk stockings and sandals. On the head is a basin- -shaped hat of black silk, in the center a colored but- ton—the hue of the button indicating his rank. Each one had a long ‘‘pig-tail,’’ which hung down his back nearly to his heels, and was tied with ribbon to harmonize in tint with his | costume. One wore pink brocade, another lilac. another blue. another delicate buff; each carried a superb fan, and they all looked gorgeous! They were very attentive to the musie and gave frequent e ‘Xpressi: mn to their pleasure in tapping their fans. One of them looks like a Spaniard, rather than a Chinese, and the resemblance is heightened by a fero-_ cious mustache, which stands out at the cor- ners of his mouth in the most agyressive points. all observ- =4 appearance.

SEMMES, of Louisiana, a sister of Semmes of Alabama fame, and a half dozen others, made up the limited number placed so far from the ‘*mad- ding crowd.’’ Among these richly-dressed people sat two nuns, gentle, sad-faced sisters, the symmetry of their figures hidden beneath the coarse serge gown of the order, and their faces covered under by the heavy veil. They looked so free from the worries and heart-wearing perplexities of life, so at. peace with themselves and man- kind, so emotionless, that I’ became, while I Watched them, somewhat reconciled to the self-sacrifice required of them,.and even found myself theorizing over the possibilities of hap- piness to be attained ina cloistral life. The graduates, four in number, were superbly dressed. Their gowns were of transparent muslin, made more fleecy by vards of filmy lace. These were looped up by bows of white satin ribbon. They wore no jewelry,but were allowed a privilege of trains, a luxury denied the other pupils. MISS. MONROE, of Illinois, read the salutatory. She is pretty and girlish-loeking.

Ne’er may you Our life es, wasted one—a living sleep!’’ There was music, vocal and instrumental, of the highest order of excellence, the distribut- ing of premiums and medals, and crowning with white flowers of the most dutiful girls of the year. The gold medal for superexcellence of conduct was given to MISS ADELE MORRISON, of St. Louis, a girl of exceeding grace and he uty and attractive personnel. Next year she will appear younger as a debutante than she now does as a school girl, for her face too full of dignity and repose to fulfill one’ ideas of a miss just leaving her school pee and the irksome duties of: a student’ s life. She read in a well modulated, musical voice the valedictory, and thus told of the conflicting emotions of joy and sorrow at leaving the se- clusion of the convent walls: We stand reluctant on a rock where meet Twotidesthat hurry toward a different shore; And one 1s rapid, ebbing trom our feet; The other, slowly rising more and more! There are many verses, each filled with sen- timents of affection, re liion and sorrow. The third graduate was Miss W hitthorne, of Ten- Nessee, and the fourth Miss Newcomer, of Maryland. Miss Whitthorne looks as if life had ever been for her full of sunshine and flowers. Her face was wreathed with smiles, and fun and frolic danced in her eyes. May the storms never blow the petals from her roses, Jeaving only the thorn within her grasp! After the exercises there was a handsome collation spread for His Grace or His Emi- nence (I don’t know which to apply) the Archbishop. Mrs. Sherman, and four or tive others, Ray monde of the number; but the bare idea of sitting at table with 4 **Prince of the Church’’ appalled me, and I praved them TO HOLD ME EXCUSED, 80 that, through my own fault, I can’t tell of the lovely table,-with its crowning of fruits and flowers, nor can 1 puton paper for your enjoyment what toasts were offered, nor the words of wit and wisdom that fell from lips so capable of uttering bon nots of the most bril- liant kind. ‘ FAITHFUL TO THE END. A Devoted Wife Tolling Devotedly for — eran of Her Convict Hus- an [From the Indianapolis People. ] Our readers no doubt remember the defalca- tion of Ricbard Vint, the cashier of the Singer Seyjeg Machine Company. Vint was regard- $a good citizen, and was popular in busi- and social circles, He was a widower, with two childrén. -A few months previous to the exposure of his embezzlement, Vint bretight a young bride from Canada to his tasteful and elegantly furnished home-on New York street. Mrs. Vint was prétty, ‘ex- tremely stylish, and remarkable for her high-bred grace of manners. She was received. with much favor in society, though the Vints were often criticised for their lavish extravagance. The brief period of their pros- perity was suddenly brought to a close by the arrest of Vint as a defaulter, and bis trial and conviction. He was sentenced toten years in the Michican City penitentiary. Instead of re- turning to her old home, Mrs. Vint followed her husband to Michigan City, rented rooms, and commenced giving lessons in music and paint- ing. A few months after her husband’s incar- ceration she gave birth to a child. The devoted woman has known oply privation and suffer- ing. Senator Winterbotham, who employs 100 convicts, engaged Vint as his book- -keeper; but this, of course, affords no remuneration to him or relief to his helpless rue Mrs. Vint’s sufferings last winter were well known, and, but for the charity of sympathizing friends, she could not have lived. She was compelled to sell at a sacrifice, first her jewels, and then nearly all of her household goods. A charitable lady, to whom the ehildren once brought in extremity two beautiful pictures, which they offered for sale at $2, gave the children an order on her grocer, and returned the pictures. She also said she had known Mrs. Vint to keep the children in bed all day to keep them from freezing. Her devotion to her unfortunate husband, her lady-like de- ortment, and her struggles for a livelihood, rave excited the warmest sympathy.

SE A BULL AND BEAR FIGHT. | Both Animals Badly Used Up—The Bear Unable to Rise. [From the Bradford Era. ] On Thursday, at Custer City, in the oil re- gion, an exhibition was given of a savage ring tight between a bull and-a bear. James McDonald, of Philadelphia, B. and D. for the went from Pennsylvania Society Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, this city to Custer. An hour before the MeDonald fight began | saw Marsh leading the bull toward the pit, and said: ‘You have advertised to have a bear fight: y ‘*V es. bull and > responded Marsh ina det» mined manner, **and I intend to have one. tvo, ell,’? said McDonald, *‘l have come down fiom Philadelphia to stopit. Iam an officer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,’’ displaying his badge. **T recognize your authority, but this fight must goon. I have got too much money at stake to let it fall through. Here, now. we can fix this matter easily enough. I’m mak- ing some money out of the thing, and we can settle it all right.’’ ‘**No, I’ll stop the fight.’’ ‘*By G—d, you can’t stop it; you haven't vot force enough on the ground to prevent the thing going on. ‘*] know that, but I’ll try it. at any rate. After this conversation Marsh led the bull into the enclosure and the two officers climbed up into the amphitheater. After the fight had begun the two made several attempts to raise the heavy sliding door that opened from the ring into the bear’s den, and let the animal out. They were prevented bya howling mob, who were excited to fury at the prospect of losing their sport. Seve ral times they tried to raise the door, but were driven away by main force. ‘*‘Throw them into the pit. velled the ring-leader, and the rest of the crowd chorused a hearty assent. When the bear was finally ex- hausted and unable to fight longer, Bernard, McDonald and Crittenden r: aised the door, tore it from its grooves, and flung it igto the pit to prevent the crowd from shutting it. Both animals were so completely used up that it was deemed cruel to remove them. Cuff, the bear, was lying on its side. unable torise. Duke, the bull, was very sore from the terrific rain of blows he had suffered in the fight and the laceration about the head and neck received from the bear’s sharp claws. One horn is broken and his ears are badly torn. MUSICAL A OW ee ND DRAMATIC y OTES. Arbuckle is stillthe welcome soloist at the Observatory Plaza, at Coney Island.

There was alsoa probability of severe storms farin the north and northwest—the barometer was very low. lee Indeed, from Dakota, Minnesota, Northern Towa and Wisconsin no_ reports had | been received. He believed that heavy storms must prevail in. that section, and if so the storms would certainly travel in the direction of St. Louis. ——— on the streets to-day was un- ortable, but the burning rays of the sun t some of ‘their effect from the cool -breeze.
