SMITH'S SCHEME. a Mrs. Sterlirg’s Assailant Prays for a New Trial Wherein Character May Be Intro- ducec. J.J. McBride and Charles P.| Johnson this morning filed a motion in the Criminal Court for a new trial in the case ot William O. Smith, sentenced to eight years’ imprisonmentin the penitentiary for cutting the throat of Mrs. A. N. Sterling at a Locust street boarding- house on the 25th of last April. The mution, hich will be argued before Judge Laughlin on ext Tuesday, sets forth that no testimony for he defense was broucht forth on the trial, and bat the defendant was not permitted to testi- y. Itis very probable that a new triai will be granted, and if such is the case interesting de- velopments may be expccted, as a num- r of witnesses from Illinois will be suinmoned to testify to the character of the prosecuting witness and her relations with the Gelendant, which were not brought out during the recent trial. oe eee — Flames in a Cincinnati Suburb, ‘By Western Associated Press.

THE COOPERS’ STRIKE. a ee — Enthusiastic Meeting this Morning—The Strikers Resolve to Hold Out to the Last. The strike of tre coopers still continues, and from all appearance there is no more likeli- hood of its termination than at the commence- ment. The men still stand firm and determin- ed, and show no indications of yielding until thcir demard of sevencents and ten cents is complied with. The bosses apparently are | feeling very bitter and are also determined not | to come to the men’s terms. The meeting was very 500 striking numerously attended, coopers being in attendance. | President Coffee as usual called the meeting to After the minutes had been read the | committee on the use of old and damaged bar- | rels reported. Various speakers then followed, allof whom were vehementin their denuncia- tions ot Mr. Jaynes and statemcnts tuey had madetoa reporter. Mr. kadell said that in Mr. Jacobs’ shop from 1,800 to 2,000 barrels were made per day, about one hundred men were employed, and that at five cents per barrel wouid only give an average of $6 per week. Sometimes 130 men were employed there, and yet the number ot barrels turn- ed out was the same. Mr. Leffler characterized as false the statement of Mr. Jacobs that they wanted a contract that]}{he would employ a full force of eizhty men for the year. The contract called for nothing of the kind. Mr. Kellogg referred to the fact that they were reproached, by the bosses, with communism. That wasrotso. Hethen read from the quarterly circular of the International Coopers’ Union, wherein the coopers were strongly cautioned aguains communists, etc. Several speakers alluded to the uso of sacks by the millers. They said the Eastern and foreign markets, especially,called for burrels, and would have them. A strong, rousing speech was then delivered by Mr. Samuels, of the Glass-Blowers’ Union, and was received with great applause. After several more speeches and the expres- sion of their determiration to hold out to the bitterend, the meeting adjourned until Mon- day. J — - What Is It. During the recent heated term thousands of persons, mep, women, and children, have at- ter sunset visited Water Tower Heights, all ot whom bear testimony tothis fact. After re- maining upon the heights for fifteen or twenty minutes they become perfectly cool and are overcome with a feeling ot drowsiness. This is followed after their return to their homes with avefresbing night’s sleep, ana an invigora- tion of the physical and mental powers upon the following day. The attention of the press, physicians, an1 scientific persons is called to this singular phenomenon. This influence is felt most decidedly upon the apex of the Heights about one square north of the Tower. Persons desiring to make the test should seat themselves quietly upon the top of the hill. Water Tower Heights can be directly reached by the cars of the Bellefontaine Rail- road. Legion of Honor. Another Council ot this new order was insti- tuted last Saturday night by John H.

By Western Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 19.—As to this city establishing quarantine against Memphis, the tollowing, from the Post and News of to-day fairly represents public sentiment: ‘‘We cannot afford to go back on our humane and sensible record of last year, and there ise now noreasontodoso. But it would be well this morning at National Hall | fully | Mr. Jacobs for the | for some system to be adopted by which of- ficers should be stationed at some points down the road, with strict instructions and full authority to stop the bringing of suspicious baggage into our hotels and boarding houses, and to turn every case of disease which could possibly be regarded as even incipient yellow fever aside toa yellow fever hospital. That would be enough. While the city of Memphis is not under the epidemic cloud nor suffering from more than a dozen cases, and those not caught one from the other, it would be unnecessary hardship to put the wife and children off the train outside the city. We must keep the yellow fever out, but wemust let the healthy people come, and this is not impossible, it seemstous. We must not let fleeing families with bundles ot bedclothes and other domestic rubbish into the city, but where men and woman in »perfect health with a change of ciothing wish to come, they must be permitted. It weuld be fo'!lyto irytopreventthem. We can be more careful than last vearand still fose none of our good name for humanity.’’ Sanitary Condition of Memphis. [From the Avalanche. ] Whoever heerd of a citv of 40,000 to 50,000 inhabitants without a sewersystem. It isthe human filth inthe earth that produces the germ for fevers. Did you ever think of the fact that there are fully 200,000 tons of filthin the old and new privy holes of this city? This perme- ates through the earth, and what is not drawn out by the heat of the sun finds its way into the cisterns, two-thirds of which are, more or less, so affected. So, what ofthis filth we do not breathe we are forced to drink. You may wash your Streets everv day with cologne or rose water and it willdo no good, for that merelv removes the suriace filth. Un- less our people do look these faccs square in the face and go to work in carnest and get at the bottom of the trouble, she will bevome an eyesore to the country anda plague spot on the face of the earth. There is but one remedy, anda that is thor- ough sewer system, and no city, great or small, isso well and naturally drained as is Memphis. In .this respect nature has been more than bountiful. There is not an acre of land within the cor- orate limits that is not drained by Gayoso savou. Now, why can we not convert that bayvu, now a nuisance, into a river—a stream of run- ning water? This would cleanse every part of the city surface, as wellas become the great off-bearer tor an underground sewerage. If we have sot no money, as is urged, why can we not take the convict labor of our coun- ty and cut acanaltrom near Germantown to Fort Pickerirg, twenty-five feet wide and six teet deep, through which the waters of Wolf Rivercould be conducted, and at every head ofthe bayou branches have a siuice gate, This would run all the time and flow into the main bayou, then ariver. This would soon become a source of revenue te thecity, and in afew years actually pay her current expenses irom the Jease of water power and tolis from bouts navigatingits waters. If the convict labor of our city and county be not sufficient, why not get that of the State? This canal can be dug 1n 12 months, and not cost over $10,000 to the mile, with all paid labor. It would not be more than 20 miles long. Thereis aplenty of fall. A survey will be necessary, which may develop even a shorter route. Thiscan be done at u trifling expense. ‘alk about the cost of such a work as this and no money! Haveour people taken into consideration the fact that last year they spent $4,000,000 running from the fever, lost 5,000 of our pores and depreciated the value of all real estate fifty per cent? This year 10,000 people have already left. If they were to return to-day the annovance and expense to each person would be $50, equal to $500,090. The loss to our business has been as much more. JOHN COWDON. [From the New York Herald. } Memphis is crammed with fomites. It has never been disinfected. Houses, stables, sheds, hotels, churches, cellars, shanties and places in which people were treated last year, and in which they died, are still full of the potaonens germs of the disease given out then. Vinter arrested the development and activity of those germs; but it was a mild winter and did not destroy them. In this respect that city —perhaps others—isinthe condition of places in the tropics, where the poison lives throuch from year to year, and resumes its great activ - we upon the return of the hot season. In Metmn- phis the contaminated bedding, curtains, car- pets, walls—never made safe by frost or cisin- fectants—are now again exposed to a temper- ature bigh enough to give active operation to the destructive diseuse germs, and hence the rescnttrouble. It will be a wonderiul fortune tthe malady is now kept within the limit of seaitered Cases. wae ortees ge eon year of the Howurd Association, and nowa member of the National Board of Health, cor- roborated fully the official statementof Dr. Collins. He did not believe that the city was ‘‘dangerously infected,’’ and thought it en- tirely safe here for citizens and visitors; wouid not believe in the presence of dangerous infec- tion unless a case should be developed trace- uble to those which have already occurred in the city, aua the probabilities are against such un event. DR. ALEXANDER ERSKINE had not seen one case of yellow fever, or anything resembling yellow fever, in all his practice, though, as consulting physician, he had been called to see oue case at Jadge Ray’s. In the range ot his practice the heaith of the city wos remarkably good. Drs. Frayser and Henning both testified to the extraordinary healthfuiness of the city; they had but few calls, and this was true of other physicians within their knowledge. Dr. Frayser, wbo has practiced medicine here for- ty years, said he had never known the City 80 healthy in the summer season as it is at tne present time. DR. H. W. PURNELL spoke of the excellent health of the city, and was strong inthe bellef that there is iittle or no danger ot anepidemicthis year. During the winter and spring he had attended several patients who, though not having yellow fever, showed a numver of symptoms similar to yel- low fever, which, according to Dr. Stone, of New Orleans, frequently occurred after an epti- demic. He had one such case several weeks vgointhe country; the patient recovered af- ter having black vomit, but it certainly was rot yellow fever. He was not without hope that the physicians who have reported cases of yellow fever will, upon review, conclude that there has not been a case in the city. An Appeal From the Poor. EpITOR APPEAL:—What satistaction it must beto those who are to know that their dear families are in a place of safety, to know thatafierashort time there will be a tamily reunion, and the faces so dear will be seen facing each other at the family board, and con- yratulations and prayers be offered up in thanksgiving at their escape fiom that dread fiend, the ye'low fever. God grant that such will be the case in all families, but on the side of those who are unable to g0 the scene will be the reverse—a broken bouse- hold, a mo.ner gone, and sweet children tne only solace and pride of the poor and desti- tute. The only objects for which we live will be hurried away into paupers’ graves, and the happiness that was bused on the affection ol euch for the other broken and shattered, Hus- bands willbe taken away, leaving delicate women toe struggie with the cold charities ot this world, which we, who bave had full expe- rience, know to be socold. AU this because no transportation will be or has been furnished by the Taxing District. by tne steamboats, or the railroads. Isthisto be the case, that we have to stay because the parties whom we contribute in a manner to support will not reach out a helping hand to take us from this plague-stricken city. This is certainly the time to extend such help, ifit is going to be extended, and not wait until the last avenue of escape is closed, and then come forward. That will not do, for tnenit willonly bea question of force to leave, and leave we must, even if strong measures have to be taken to make our escape; measures that corporations and others willremember. We ask some one, some peo- pie, und all, to join us in the request to find the meuns of escupe, it only by reduced rates,that will put it in the power of allto finda place of able is suiu here? | As these latter have violent vomitings, | former, oc urring row, of | been taken of the fears of the | fair, an amusirg | means the ruin of business | the sacrifice of thovs.ads upon thousands of | dollars. | nn action of the local Board of Health and | be safety.

The outlook is more serious than atany time, as the taculty have ample time to bring their entire force and skill to bear onthe few scat- tered cases,and so far none yield to treatment, The only thing knowable about this disease is | that it ig fatal. It has no uni- | form habit, and every one is in the dark. That it will spread, or that itis sporadic, or that 1t will die out, or that it is geauine yellow fever, or that the worst ‘s over, is all surmise. | Trereis some reason™ia the conviction that the population who were ex- posed last year may be acclimated, and are | Jess liable to infeciion. This alone gives me hope that our pauper popviation may not be attacked. Ifth’s beso, and the unacelimated } | scatter, the di.ca e cannot beeome epicemic. You bave more rea_.on to fear than we, for if the sporadic theory (which is but a cateh- penny term used by doctors to belie the dan- ver) be correct, you have the germs in every | town in this belt of country where cases of Yel- ‘mate is even more favorable to it than with us, not acclimated. A Memphis Phvsician’s Views. [From the Memphis Appeal. ] Cases bear about the same relation to genuine | yellow fever that cases of cholera morbus, oc- | curring every summer, do to Asiatic cholera, pura- and death, the late, at Memph’'s, may have high temperature, moderate pulse, ings. cramps, collapse, £0 suppressing urinary secretion, delirium, black | vomit, aid death, and yet dider from genuine | yellow fever in furnishing 6 Active édntagiuwi or infection, as required in an epidemic of that diseare. Inregard to MemphisI can but feel that,in the face of assurences ot safety from the National Board of Health and from local boards, and in view ot the vivid and pain- ful recollections of last year, advantage bas people by de- signing persons to create a panic and drive the | residents from their bomes, to hotels, suinmer | resorts, and other places of supnosed safety.

J.P. DAKE, M. D. a Memphis Orphans in Hurtsville. [From the Huntsville (Ala.) Independent. } Mrs. McGrath with two oiher iadies, in chaige ot twenty-four orphans from the Epis- copal Orphanage at Memphis, left their quar- ters near Memphis onthe earliest train after the yellow fever alarm and brought them to liuntsville. After spending a short time at the Huntsville Hotelthey were taken to the barracks, where they can haveas cool and liculthy air as thereis to be found anywhere in this region. The ladies of Huntsville have evinced a most commendable interest in their welfure. The children a’ e under the special care of te Protestant Episcopal Church, but they areiiom the various derominations. Some ef them were left paientiess during tie scourge of last sum mer. Interesting Fever Facts—Its Treatment at Vera Cruz. [Ftom the New York Times. ] Giveadogabad name and he goes to the dog pound, and that settles him. Give a city a bad name for fevers, and it has to suffer, even when no fever is there. The steamship City of Mexico ran tora long time between Vera Cruz and New QOileans, making quicker communication with the civilized world for the people of Vera Cruz and the interior than they ever had . bé€fore. This steam- er now lies in the North River laid up for the summer—and all because Vera Cruz hasa bad name. Last summer they had yellow fever there—plenty of it. This sum- mer there is no epidemic; but, to guard against any chance of contagioa, New Orleans has or- dered that all vessels from Vera Cruz sball lie in quarantine twenty days before going up to thecity. This practically stops water commu- nication between these two cities for the sum- mer, and Vera Cruz, of course, must be the sufferer. Vera Cruz seems to be yellow fever’s favor- ite summer resort. Never a summer passes without some cases, and frequently there is anepidemic. Iteven stays there throughoui the winter, keeping occasional cases in the hospitals all the year round. A stranger going therein January, and sleeping out in the open air. oftenonthe deck of a ship, isina fair way tocatchit. Strangers very often do this, un'ess they are warned in time, for the heat, even at that time of the year, is almost unbearable,and nothing is more pleasant than to getup at midnight and walk down to the Mole, where there is always a breath of air trom the sea. Eut a New Yorker might almost as welllook down a p barrel to see the cartridge explode as to do this, for be is sure to sit down 00 a cotton bale, and almost sure to fallasieep. Even the natives are afraid of this, and oe, polinouny eel cover at night. The native Vera Cruz ave very little fear of the vomito, although the know that it is continually lurking “amoag them, and most of them have had i Some of them several times. It would be S: nable to say that bec yee a broken eft arm oo nent yellow tint, though it does petusually leave as decided marks as Chagres f 4 With three or four stray cases of fave tn Mewphis, the North begins to cry out thet af- ter last year’s experiences Memphis orngié to have been clesaned. If anything wil! induge the Southern cities to scour themselves up, very well. But Vera Cruz, where yellow fever hes @ permanent residence, is as clean as any of our Northern cities. With the pains these toasted Mexicans take to keep their streets clean and their gutters pure, and everything about them savory, it would be a mean fling at them to say that Vera Cruz is as clean as New York. Itis at least 200 per cent cleaner. They have a powerful! inducement for keeping thingsciexsn. Dirt inthe hot season means almost sure death, and when a man dies there in the morning be is safely settled inthe grave- yard in the afternoon. Almost or would whitewash his back fence under the circum - stances. This applies only to Vera Cruz,where the feverrages. Upin Mexico City, where it is cooler, the people experiment to see how long the Almighty will let them wallow tin flith before he cuts them oft. It they know how to treat yeliow fever any- where, they ought to know bow in Vera Cruz, for they buve plenty of practice. ‘Their hos- pitals ure almost as open to the air as tents— old convents, seized by the Goveraomeint long ago—tine brick and stone Duildings, far larger and better adapted to the purpose than our Relievue. Here every yellow-fever patient has a nurse to himself, usually a little Indian girl, who,it is said, hardly ever catches it, nithongh the Indian natives are liable to have it. The patient is kept perfectly quiet. Any motion is believed to be fatal. If he has the genuine vomito nothing can prevent him fiom vomiting frequently over the bed-clothes, #s the action of the stomach is entirely beyond tPe control of his will. But the bedding is pa- tientiy changed us often as it is soiled, and everything about keptclean. It will easily be seen that it would be impossible to give this care to a patient in case of an epitemic. In case u patient is too far gone to be moved be- fore notice is given to the authorities, he is treated in his own house. Anybody who has ever been a yellow tever patient would be much obliged to a nurse who would biow his brains out on the first day. They are first red, then yellow, anc then Jook like a piece of shriveled leather. The Feeling in St. Louis. In order to ascertain the feeling here in the city concerning the yellow fever outbreak, a reporter called on several well-irformed gen- tlemen. It will be found that there is no ap- prehension here of danger. St. Louis Buard of Health. Health Commissioner Francis was exceed- ingly busy, and said everybody in his depart- ment was hard at work. ‘*‘Weare,’’ said he, ‘‘doing everythirg in our power to clean the city, ana prepare for aun emergency, though I do not believe there is anything like an epidemic at Memphis, nor do quarantine regulutions here. You see here by this pile of reports of nuisances what the police are doing. Here are fifty reports for this morning, and I am. getting almost that many every day. These nuisances consist of filthy cellars, adiri:y yards, bad cisterns, disor- dered privies, five cess-pools, etc. As soon us we get these reports wesend men outto look at the places and order the nuisances removed. By going out this way Other nuisances are discovered, tor 1f the man who has a nuisance to reinove knows that his neighbor hus one, he generally speaks ot it.’’ ‘*Are the streets generally in a good condi- tion ?’’ ‘**They are.’’ ‘*You have noideaof declaring quarantine egainst Memphis yet, I suppose?’’ **Oh, no; it would be very wrong to do 20. We do not want toinjure our Southern trade or do injustice tothe untortunace people of that country. Wearein no danger yet, and sucha thing would be entirely unnecessar;. If we find anybody with the yellow fever coming up on any of the boats, we will stop them, of course, and take them to the Quarantine Hos- pital, justas wedid last year. It would take unimmense amount of infected clothing and diseased people to give us the yellow fever here to uny alarming extent.’’ ‘*‘Huve you any suggestions to male to the pecple at large?:’’ **] hope everybody will co-operate with the Health Department in keeping the cityin as good condition as possible. Those who own tenement houses should see that they are kept clean. The poor people who livein such places are not able to bear the expense of put- ting them in good sanitary condition, and the owners of the houses ought to bear the ex- pense. And toecveryvody I say, kcep cool and tlean.’’ MR. JOHN G.

DurineG the last few weeks the sanitary authorities of St. Louis have been unusu- ally yigilant. Inspection and garbage laws ave been enforced to the letter, unclean sewers have been attended to, alleys ve been washed clean by timely rains. As consequence St. Louis is unusually healthy. Pestilence can find no breeding soil here. OnE of the laughable myths of the season was the story that a plot was concocted during the electoral muddle to kidnap Mr. Tilden.

THERE is an important and interesting bit of information in the last letter written from England to the Pittsburg. American Manufacturer. It is this: A firm of cutlers, the chief portion of whose trade isin America, are about to abandon their works in Sheffield and commence opera- tions in the United States. The statement is that they are pursuing this step ‘‘simply to escape the prohibi.ory duties levied upon English goods.’’ About 100 Sheffield work- men are, it is added, removing with them to your country, anda much larger number of Germans has also been engaged. NEW ENGLAND AND THE ‘‘SOLID SOUTH.” The universal standard by which Repub- licans measure everything is, Who saved r the Union? The terribly great crime of the solid South is that it tried to break up the Union and is now trying to break up the Republi- can party. The one cry which Democrats never cease to hear is that they did not save the Union, but sympathized with the rebellion. Of course, this is all a lie. Still, if the solid South is censurable, the New England States are still more to be condemned. We ask Mr. Blaine, Senator Edmunds and other great leaders in New England, and the Republican party, to answer this simple question: If the sole and exclusive measure of po- litical virtue is the part of a State or sec- tion in the late rebellion; if the “solid South’’ is to be distrusted and degraded on account of its war record; and if they are still to be condemned because five of these Rebel States only sent 301,612 soldiers into the Union army to fight for the sup- pression of the rebellion—what must be thought of the States of Messrs. Blaine, Edmunds, etc., which sent still 76,000 soldiers less? Here are the figures of the War Depart- ment again. They are interesting enough to be repeated: Maine . 72,114)'West Virginia.

Schofield, of the Fourth Bap- tist Church, and wife celebrated their silver wedding on Monday evening last in the church parlors. The attendance was verv large and the presents were quite numerous and ele- gant. St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, of Kirkwood, announced a grand lawn party at Church Grove, Kirkwood, on the evening on the 15th of August. This is an annual affair with 8t. Peter’s. Special traius will be run from St. Louis at special rates of fare. Mr. Frank T.Pomeroy,connected with Samuel C. Davis & Co., was married on Thursday night last to Miss Julia A. Smith, step-daugnht- er of Mr. C. A. Cole, of 1540 Chouteau avenue. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Jno. Snvaer, at the residence of the bride’s futher, and in the presence of a few friends. The Baptist Church of Kirkwood gave a lawn party on Thursday night last, at the residence of Mr. M. W. Leet. The preparations for the entertainment of guests were extensive, but, the evening happening to bea very cool one, the attendance was not as large as it ought to have been. ‘those who were present enjoyed themselves greatly. The nuptials of Mr. F. A. Farnham, of this city, are announced for the month of October. Mr, Farnham is connected with the Excelsior Manufacturing Company, is a member of the St. Louis National Guard, and a young gentie- man well known about town. The young lady lives in Central Illinois, and is described as possessed of both beauty and wealth. A small but elegant tea party was given at the residence of the Hon. Don Morrison on Tuesday evening last,in honor of the recent re- turn of the Misses Adele and Minnie Morrison from Georgetown College. The gathering, which was of an informal nature, lasted from 8 p. m. tola.m. The hundsome house and grounds were brilliantly illuminated. There was music during the evening, but no formal dancing, the weather not permit- ting. The supper, whieh included champagne, was ofthe most elegant description.

A Sketch of His Busy and Noted Life—The News on ’Change. Mr. D. A. January, whose death has been expected for several days, expired this morn- ing at 3o’clock. Hewill be puried Monday morning from his late residence, at the corner of Twelfth street and Washington avenue. Mr. January was one of the most prominent Dusiness men and citizens of St. Louis and was sixty-four years old. He was born at Lexing- ton. Ky., and in 1832 removed with bis mother to Jacksonville, Llinois. where he opened a store with his brother. In the winter of 1837 be and his family came to St. Louis, where he opened the wholesale grocery house of January, Stettinius & Co. This firm continued and prospered for forty years,becoming one of the largest and richest in the city. Mr. January took a deep interest in many of the public enterprises of the city, and was instrumental in the building the first Lindell Hotel. He was one of the originators of the Merchants’ Bank; was Presidert of the Chamber of Commerce at the beginning of the war; President of the St. Louis Mutual Life Insur- ance Company, and was one of the founders of the United States Insniance Company. He was married twice, the first time in 1842, to Miss Mary Louisa Smith ,stepdaughter of the late Jesse 8, Lindell, aud the second time to Churchill, of Louisville, Ky,, and she survives hiw, as also five children. a | —_ —— THE GOLDSOLL SEARCH. jury, Col. R. 8. MacDonald and Marshal Mason at the present time is, w iether Coff wilt be able to find Goldsoll, now that he has got to Texas. There has been ny news re- ceived at the Marshal’s office Jim Coff’s movements since leaving Texarkana for Dallas, Texas, last night, and the opinion is, that if he had succeeded in finding Goldsoll, he would have telegraphed same immediately. Goldsoll has numerous fiiends, bothinthis city and in Texas, and every precaution will be taken to throw the deputy murshal offthe trail. The indictment against Goldsoll, the morning papers to the contrary, was found on last Wednesday after- noon, and Deputy Marsbal Coff was started tor Texas on the first train. Something defi- nite will be known in the matter by next Mon- day. _ — ¢ - Mid-Summer Bargains. Burrell, Comstock & Co. are offering an ele- gant mid-summer stock of parlor and bed-voom furniture at prices which areeven lower than those of the spring, which housekeepeis thought extraordinary. This house never car- ries stock over {rom one s#ason to the next, hence it will be advisab‘e for those intending to refurnish to examine the goods at Burre!), Comstock & Co.’s, which, for beauty, quality, design and cheapness cannot be equaled any- where. — _ — PUBLIC OPINION, Not Real Economy. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: As the Municipal Assembly at present ap- pears somewhat worried over the appropria- tion bill, and as its hobby seems to be re- trenchment, it will not be out of place to make a few suggestions that may enable it to bridge over its difficulties. They have wres- tled over this bill in the Council in the spirit of retrenchment, but it does not seem as if their final action agrees with the public idea on this subject. After cutting down here and there, the appropriation as a whole is not decreased acent. This kind of retrenchment does not retrench. Their real object seems to be that by cutting down the appropriation of certain departments, they might apply the sum thus retrenched to the building of a bridge for the benefit ef a railroad corporation. If these Solons wish to save money to the city they will go about it im a different man- ner. For instance, let them lop off all useless and merely ornamental positions and sine - cures. If they only open their eyes and look around they can find plenty material of this de- scription to work on. I will'merely refer to the office of Commissioner of Public Build- ings, for which there is as much use as there is for the fifth wheel to a wagon. The Inspec- tor of Sidewalks and the Vehicle Inspectors could be very well dispensed with, as their work could be more satisfactorily and more thoroughly done by the police without inter- fering in the least with their regular duties. This would be retrenchment in the true sense of that term. The idea of cutting down the appropriations for the Police and Fire Departments, the two most indispensable departments under the oe Pe “4 ns oa pated nw a e PARTS a a ee Play will be revived as soon as the weatilier | of | was tor four years | | progressing to the satisfaction of all parties Miss Julia | thatthe hotelsare fliled to overflowing, and os | corded thus early in the season.

Nearly every ene who visits the Branch ea- joys a sail on the Shrewsbary. Ali the watering places seem to spread them- selves on their musical attractions save Long Branch. Why is this thus? Ladies at the watering-places are wearing very long trains, which, fashion papers tell us, are the latest Parisian agony. A correspondent says all the White Moun- tain frequenters agree that thére never was such a rush of people thither as this season. The Duke of Argyll’s visit to Newport was the first big feather in the cap of that re- sort this year, but additional! royal plumes are wanted. On Sunday it was cold enough up in the Cats- kills for flres, overcoats and red noses. The two items of overcoats and red nos*s were not charged in the bill. There are more ‘‘Switzerlands of America’’ this year than last, and they are said to make the greatest impression upon people who have never been abroad. Three or four hundred people are to be found by the alleged sad sea waves at Fire Island—ae place for impulsive pele, forit ts there one can alWays keep cool. The White Mountain hotels ore doing very well,the arrivals largely increasing cvery day. The weather is detig ful and wll things indf- cate a long and successful season. Dressing at the watering-places this season is very elaborate, particularly at Saratoga. It is very evident that the hard times have gone, at least for the immediate present. ~ West Point is very lively and attractive. The two hotels are exceedingly well patronizea, and the exposition of fashion and style is somcthing long to be remembered. The cadets at West Point are now in camp, and the sight of the city of tents, as seen from the balcony of the West Point Hotel, is one long to be remembered with pleasure. The Thousand [Islands seem to be quite as at- tractive as ever, for the hotels have been filled since the beginning of the month, and the en- gagen ents fi 1 August are remarkably large. Schooley’s Mountain is doing moderately well, but it isevident that the resort is losing popularity by :eason of the many new ones that have come into existence the last few years. Polo has been revived at Newport. The fash- ionables turn outin large numbers to witness the silly performance, and there is great ap+ plause every time one of those society men} zets thrown. The four-in-hand coach line between Long Branch and Sea Girt has been discontinued because there were no passengers. Seaside coaching does not seem to flourish outside o Newport. Ladics at Newport havea new style of wea ing their round hats. The styleis to cock over the lefteye. Ifa manwore hishat tifat way people would say that he had been saniih- ling green tea. Excellent material for small talk is afforded at the Grand Union, Saratoga, by the electric light, which shines forall. Someof the con- versation it creates is very amusing, and so- | cially scientific. The season at Cape May is understood to be concerned. Hotels are all life, bustle and actiy- 'ity,and everytrain that ariives aaddstothe | number of visitors. The news from Atlantic City is to the effeeg that hundreds are unable to find accommoda- tions. This kind of newscan ve boiled down | and taken with salt. Jim Coff is in xas, but Has Not Captured the k Breaker. | The one question Which ugitates the grand The many new hotelsin the Catskill Moun- tain region and the ianumerable boarding- houses have scattered business, and nohe are _ over-crowded or making suflicient money to start a national bank. Saratoga hotels, one and all, are doing a far better business than has ever betore been re- Naturally the hotel keepers are much pleased with them- selves and all mankind. Luzerne, whicre one gets the invigorating fragrance of the pines, the hemlocksand the spruces ofthe Adirondack forest, is twelve miles from Lake George and five or six hundred feet higher than the lake. Never in the memory of the oldest inhabitant has Ocean avenue, at Long Branch, been in such a miserable condition as now. The change of commissioners has only made things worse. Their want ef capacitv has been a serious drawback to the Branch. The cottage-renting season at Newport is about over, though several cottages are still unoccupied. It has been predicted that th would be rented this weak, as it is known that several parties have been holding back, in an- ticipation of securing a house at their own terms. Long Branch is in better patronage than any other resortinthe country of itsclass. Newport and Saratoga are the only peers of Long Branch for cosmopolitan fashion, and visitors from both have been to the Branch during the past week, and reported a dull season and hot weather. There is some temporary trouble in con- nection with the Long Branch pier's growth, and the contemplated extension is not to be made this year. Concerts by the Ocean House Band are now given on the pier every after- noon and evening. The amount of musicgiven for ten cents is very large. Watering place publications are uncommon- ly abundant this year, especially at Long Branch. Collectively these literary produc- tions—all of which are printed in the city—re- present a great deal of trash and aro in no re- spect worth the figures charged for them, Delaware Water Gap ciaims to have quite as many if not more visitors than usual, and the re ports that emanate from the hotels lead one to infer that the season is very cay and bril- lant. The resort is vneof the most beautiful and attractive in the United States. Tnere is more surf-bathing than usnal a6 Newport this summer, and the proprietors of” the bathing houses are doing « thriving busf- ness.

The Queen Lily in the Golden Gate Park Conservatory. {From the San Francisco Chronicle. | A flowering plant which is among the most rare and remarkable in the world, not only for the extraordinary size which the leaf and flower attain, but for the many peculiarities of its structure, is the Victoria Regia, or Queen Lily, the only known specimen of which in the United States is now growing in a pond espe- cially constructed for its propagation at the Golden Gate Park Conservatory. The plant belongs to the family of water lilies, and its circular floating leaf when full grown attains the extraordinary size of eight feet in diame- ter and covers an area of fifty-six square feet, or over six square yards. When maturea rim about two inches high surrounds the leaf, performing the part of a bulwark and preventing the encroachment of waves upon the leaf. Each leaf of the plant at the park exceeds its predecessor six inches in diameter; the largest leaf is now five feet in diameter, and as three leaves are put forth every two weeks, abouta month will ensue before the largest leaf is grown, the plant ma- tured. andthe biossoming begins. In size and beauty the flower will be in keeping with the general features of the plant. Itis prebably the largest blossom known. being about six- teen inches in diameter. The plant blossoms often and rapidly. lasting onlv two days, and changing from white on the first to rose-pink on the second day. It blooms in the night, its petals quickly opening before sunset and closing an hour or two before sunrise. The development of the plant is eagerly watched by the habitues of the park. The seed from which it was grown was procured from the Royal Gardens at Kew, London, and present- edtothe Park Conservatory by H. B. M. Consul, Wiliiam Lane Booker, of this city. -— > LAKE GEORGE RATTLESNAKES. ‘Caught That They May be Sold for a Dollar Apiece and Turned Into Rat- tlesnake Oil. [From the August Harper.T One denizen of this region cannot be spoken .of without a degree of respect combined with aversion. He flies the haunts of man and gradually disappearing from that vicinage; but, like inferior races of man, which, before they altogether vanish before an advancing civilization, cling desperately to a few strong- holds, so this reptile vet retains certain positions around the lake which are in- fested in a way that demands caution on the part of the tourist. It is not un- common to see snakes swimming in passing from cove to cove or isle to Leaning over a boat one calm day, I saw one swimming under the stern. He raised his head when he saw me, and the ex- pression of his face was neither amiable nor assuring as he darted his head spitefully for- ward. I hit him with a stick, when he dived and disapppeared. Tongue Mountain and Shelving Rock are most infested at present. An old man and woman who occupy a solita- ry cabin onthe former have made a business of catching rattlesnakes and supplying the ‘market. The demand is much larger than one would suppose on the part of showmen and naturalists, and also from the rustics of the neighborhood, who have the notion that rattlesnake oil is an infallible remedy for the rheumatism. Douovtless this superstition— for itis nothing else—arose in the same way as the belief in former days inthe newt’s eye, a baby’s finger, or the baboon’s blood— objects remote or difficultto obtain. The quotation for good, healthy rattlesnakes at Lake George averages $1 apiece, caught and delivered.

Babington, editor of the Aurora, pubiished in that town, publish- ed a statement concerning the conduct of some ladies, guests at Cleveland Springs, which was highly offensive to their friends, and on the following day a gentleman, also a cuest there, went over to Shelby to see him about it, in- tending. it is said, to cowhide bim on sight. The editor was out of town, and a meeting was subsequently arranged for 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Accordingly, the gentleman and a friend of his went to the Office at the hour designated. When they entered the office Mr. Babington teveled a shot-gun atthem and forbade them to ap- proach. Someone standing by seized the gun and attempted to wrench it from Babing- ton’s hand with a view of preventing blood- shed. A friend ofthe latter, probably one of the printers in the office, drew a pistol and said he would shoot the man who attempted totakethe gunfrom Mr. Babington. The party referred to above let go his hold on the weapon, but by this time a number of persons had collected. and by a combined interfer- ence the affair was brought to a close without bloodshed. Considerable excitement pre- vails yet, and it is feared that the difficulty is ‘not over. et nena Common New York-Iisms. [From the New York Graphic. } Bang!

On the evening before his house was far away from any pond, lake orriver, but, upon going out next morning, his surprise can be imagin- ed when, instead of his garden, an immense sink fifty or siaty yards square, filled with water, running up within eighteen or twenty feet of his residence, met-his gaze. During the night this transformation occurred, leaving not even a vestige of the tallest pine trees which were standing in their full ajesty only twelve hours before. These sinks, however, are not intrequentin that county. It hasoniy been a short time since that a sink occurred near Levender’s mill, more remarkable than the one alluded to above, in that it occurred upon the very top of a bill, one of the highest points Otland inthatcounty.

MERIWETHER. zen (Dem. )] —_ —> —_ ‘ruiting New Orleans Boys. [From the New Orleans Times. | The United States sloop of war Wachusett, which went up the river on June 23 and re- turned thence two days ago, was yesterday open to the reception ot boys who desire to go into training in the service. There were some thirty applicants in all yes- tercav, who were received by Col. William Wright and@ instructed as to the manner in which they must enter into service. New Orleans is entitled to 100 places, all of which will doubtless be taken. ‘be boys who applied yesterday are between fifteen and eighteen years of age, all bright looking lads and evidently anxious to go aboard the sloop. They are all of the middle class in life, and came without their parents. Col. Wright told them to get their parents or guardians to come with them to-day. If they do this, they will be taken upon the Wachusett, and their appli- cations wiil be promptly considered. The Champion Beer Drinker. {From the New York Sun. } I believe that it is generally admitted by the sporting fraternity, among whom I have many friends, that I can drink more beer, without having my reason dethroned, or without feei- ing any qualms or inconvenience, than any man in New York or Brooklyn. I began drink- ing with a few friends at the Brighton, and in an houranda half I had finished thirty-five glasses. Meeting with other acquaintances I continued drinking, until, at the expiration of two hours and a hait I had gulped tifty glasses. Between 2 o’clock, the time I began, until 5, consumed seventy-five glasses. Uf course the quantity of beer given at Coney Island in a glass is small, yet lam impressed with the be- lief that, had the glasses been full, I could have got away with them just the same.

To be arou and delicious slumber bya * A DISGRACED MONK. Gustave De Rohan, Alias Van Hoagland, Alias Father Dominique, Goes to the Peni- tentiary. Gustave De Roban, alias Van Hoagland, alias Father Dominique, bid good-bye to his ceilin the city jail this morning and took tbe road for Jefferson Oity and the Penitentiary under the escort of Deputy Marshal Lewis. The bogus monk-priest felt only too keenly the disgrace of his situation, and walked with downcast head, never casting a glance at any- thing but the steel handcuffs upon his wrists. At the Union Depot, wherea halt tor a tew minutes was made, awaiting the train, he took occasion to remark that he was more sinned aguinst than sinning. Ile never denied having forged Father Van der Sanden’s name to the check, which was presented at the Fourth National Bank,butthe church had risen against him and seemed determined to hound him down. After having pertormed the holy offices for years, they had turned coldly against him, as if they knew him not, and he was driven to desperation by their neglect and had erred. He would serve out his heavy sentence as peaceably as he could, and then retire to the solitude of some northern forest or isle in the Pacific Ocean and there pass the remainder of bis days in endeavoring to forget his lite - long disgrace. Several other churches and individuals whom the reverend fraud has hoodwinked and swindled threaten to procure his rearrest onthe expiration of his present sentence. cit = EAST ST. LOUIs. The municipal muddle remains in statu quo. All are anxiously awaiting the result of the Cou:.cil meeting to be held next Monday afternoon. Baptiste who was shot in the Cahokia row, was ar- rested on a warrant yesterday by Constable White and locked up at the sta- tion-house. Sante will have a hearing some time to-day, but will probably ask for a con- tinuance, as many of his witnesses were notin East St. Louis this morning. The Schoo) Board will meet at 8 a. m.

President Wahl, to-day, appointed the fol- lowing named gentlemen as a committee to take suitable action expressive of the feeiing of the Exchange at the death ot Mr. D. A. Jan- uary: Gerard B. Allen, Rufus J, Lackland, R. A. Barnes, John Knapp and Charles Parsons. 1ue committee will report Tuesday, 22d inst.. at 12:30 o’clock. The influence on prices of wheat that is ex- erted by the heavy receipts was materially aided to-day by an advance in ocean freignts. Millers and grain exporters are ail seriously affected, and the first. palpable result was a sharp decline in wneat. The increasingly threatening aspect of yellow fever at Memphis had a decidedly bearish ef- fect on provisions to-day. One or two specu- lative operators were feeling the market with a view of buying, if a heavy decline could be effected, but it was impossible to get any Satis- factory guotations. The feeling was one of generul uneasiness, and the appearances indi- cative of a bad break. Yellow Jack is the ‘*Worst’’ operator the bulls have had to fight.

"' George Weisgerber, ita 8 ype ee Se pee ee SPARKLING SPORT. A General Revival Anticipated in Local Circles. The Keokuk Regatta Proves the Princi- pal Attraction of the Week. Racing, Rowing, Base Ball, Pedestrian- ism and Other Athletic Features. The Weekly Calendar of Sporting News Gleaned from Near and Far. Another week has gone by without adding -anvthing of material interestin the line of lo- cal sport. Ithas been most noticeable that when St. Louis is enjoying a full fledged heat- ed term there is no interest manifested in any- thing butthe art of keeping cool, but now that the backbone of the great heatis broken a swift revival of «verything which may be designated sport mav be looked forward to. The regatta at Keokuk has attracted no little attention, and the St. Louis clubs participating have ably represented the Future Great. A majority of the stables are absent attend- ing the trotting and running meetings through- out the country, and those at home are resting in anticipation of fine work during the fall. In billiards there is nothing doing. Base ball is picking up a littie, and when that is said nothing more remains worthy of intro- ductory note. Horse Notes. Parole’s next race will be inthe great York- shire, England, handicap contest. Several of the St. Louis stables are doing pretty work throughout the country. Pierre Lorillard will have six entries in the great three-year-old English races of 1881. The Bonesetter-Proteine trot, which was to have come off at Chicago shortly, fhas been postponed until the 20th of September. Lord Falmouth’s as yet unbeaten Wheel or Fortune is the favorite tor the St. Leger stakes, to be run for on Wednesday, September 10. Robert Bonner bas driven his horse Edwin Forrest, a mile in wagvun, at Tarrytown, in 2:16%, which to say the least is remarkable. Clearhead,the winner of the Northumberland plate of this season, was soid to M. R. Cowan, his present ewner, for $300, after he had won the Inkeepers’ stakes at Lanark as a two-year- old. Through the death of his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, the French turf has been de- prived of one of its most ardent patrons. The racing stud of the decedsed Prince will be sold under the bammer. ‘*Vigilant,’’ of the London Sportsman, say; ot Mr. P. Lorilierd’s two-year-old bay colt Cherokee, beateninthe July Stakes at New- market: ‘‘Among the starters was Cherokee, by Saxton out ot Fannie Ludiow, by Eclipse. Heitsabay of consicerabie length and power, and when he is a little inore forward in condi- tion than at pres: nt he may win some stakes for Bir. Loriliard.’’ The programme tor the August trotting meet- ing at the Milwaukee Driving Park is an- nounced. The races begin on Tuesday, August 26th, and continue tour days. There are eight purses of one thousand doilars each, including one for all pacers and a trcee-for-all trotting, otf 2,000. Purses are divided into four prizes; $500 to the first, $250 to the second, $150 to the third and $lui to the fourth. Inthe free- for-all the first horse gets $1,000, second $500, third $300 and fourth $2vu0. Peter, the three-year-old which a racing gen- tleman of New York endeavored to add to his stable last spring, was offered, with others of Mr. Gee’s race-horses in tiaining, at Newmar- ket during the July meeting.

Of late years, the only notable event in the annals of San Marino has been the coming of Garibaldi after the fall of republican Rome in 1849. With unheroic though excusable prudence, a free passage was denied him lest danger should ensue from the Austrian troops; the denial, however, could not be fully enforced, and it was only after some trouble and anxiety that the Mari- nese cleared their territory of the champions of Italian libert We will conclude with ty is nb efivition of freedom suppl the medieval Marinese: ‘‘When Ray t e abbot of Apastasia).was employed y iface VIII. to look into the state Mt.

The Court of Appeals has decided thata policy of fire insurance before loss is, by its nature, unassignable without express consent ot the insurer. The delectus personz is ma- terial to the contract.

The Chicago Times blasts Benner in the fol- lowing style, some of its remarks being quite asSapplicableto the situation in some other cities asto that of Fire Chief and Insurance Patrol in Chicago: In the matter of discipline, all that the de- partmnent has to-day is taken from the exam- pie furnished by Capt.

High art the little fellow lacks— (Perhaps bigh art he vainly mocks)— W bo blacks your shocs, and also blacks Your socks.

Hamlet by Mr. Kearns (being his first appearance in that character), who between the acts will perfor:n several solos on the patent bag-pipes, which play two tunesatthe same time. Ophelia, by Mrs. Prior, who will introduce several favorite uirsin character, particularly ‘*The Lass of Richmond Hill,’’ and‘‘We’ll All Be Unhappy Together,’’ from the Rev. Mr. Didbin’s ‘‘Od- dities.’’ The parts of the King and Queen, by direction of the Rev. Father O’Callagan, will he omitted, as too immoral for any stage. Polonius, the comical politician, by & young gentleman, being his first xppearance in pub- lic. Tne Ghost, the Grave-digger, and Laertes by Mr. Sampson, the great London comedian. The characters will be dressed in Roman shapes. To which will be udded an interlude, in which will be introduced several sleight of hand tricks by the celebrated surveyor, Hunt. Tne whole to-conclude with the farce of ‘*Ma- homet, the Impostor!’’ Mahomet by Mr. Kearns. Tickets can be had of Mr. Kearns at the sign of the Goat’s Beard, in Castle ‘street. The value of the tickets. as usual, will be tak- en (if required) in candles, bacon, butter, cheese, soap, etc.,as Mr. Kearns wishes, in every particular, to accommodate the puDiic.

Four gentiemen, who take an outrigger, a frail shell, oversuch streams as the Seine aud the Loire, deserveto have their wanderings chronicled, and in Mr. Molloy, who was the stroke of thecrew, they find a Xenophon, humorous, sentimental and prac- tical, who beyond all has the faculty of patting things into good English. How the idea was started, and how it was ac- complished, some idea may be gained from the extracts we have made. One of the chief merits ot the book, the historical associations which it cu)is forth with the heroic age of France, it has been impossible to preserve in the excerpts. No names are given, and the parties always designated by their positions attheoars. The one faultin the book isthe copiousness of its French; this was ina measure unavoidable, but still it has been carried a trifle too tar. It was near the end of the season, and a few men just up from circuit had dropped in and were discussing projects for the long vacation. | Some were for the moors, others the Mediter runean, Ashantee was talked of—in fact, every possible country and way of doing it. Some pro- posed a steam yacht for a cruise on the Belgian canals, while others scorned it and were tor knapsacks and thirty milesaday. Two were for swimmiug the principal rivers in Europe, and a little knot, more Arcadian, were for hir- ing a wagon, decorating the interior with every comfort—hammocks, drowsy rugs, arm-Ccharrs, silver teapots, slippers—and their own tow to milk on brandy ofa morning by way of tonic, and 50 play at Gypsiestor two months of lezy luxury inthe Devonshire lanes. . g* * * We drifted a tew minutes, and then said Stroke: **Think I'll do it!’’ **Do what?’’ ‘*Jake an outrigger up the Seine!’’ ‘‘Gyp,’’ the black and tan companion of these wanderings, is hereby speciaily intro- duced to the reader’s favorable notice. Gyp was our dog, and generally alluded to as alittie wonder. A pure biack and tan, anda perfect, alinost rare specimen of his kind. A beautiful head and points. He couid do any- thing. Hide an apple or orange in any room of the house, and where you liked, a was sure to findit. The ordinary plans of conceal- ment, ladies’ pockets and coul-scutties, Gyp only leughed at. It was pretty tosee him hunt. A short,sharp bark as be went out of the room, knowing, @3 well as you, what was going to happen. Say you putthe apple on top of the highest picture, or in the giove of alustre. In came Gyp, not uttering a souud, as he beat every corner, sniffed at a scuttie en passant, looked in at a pocket, found the scent was above, not below, gave one little whine of de- light, and finally stovud trembiing on his hind legs, his little neck outstretched, and his nose straight to the apple. Singularly enough he loved the water, and would spend solitary hours divingtor stones. His passion for stones was ruining his teeth avd undermining his constitution. lt was olten eu buarrassing to the crew, for he would,uniier some sudden inspiration, take a beader frum the boat in one of his diving tits, and nothing but getting out, und wading or swimming after him (which he gloriedin), would induce him to come back. He was of a most uffection- ate nature, and nut to have taken him with us would have broken his little heart. He became greatiy attachedto the crew. but chiefly to Stroke, whom fromthe first he took posses- sion of, almost equally with Bow, wiuo wus his muster. There are some pretty pictures at Candebec on the Seine, and ‘‘Bow,’’ who is the artist of the company, takes one of them thus: ‘*You wouldn’t mind standing just at the en- trance of that old street?’’ he asked Three; ‘‘it helps the picture and the elevation, and putsa little life in the foreground, just as if you were looking upthe streetand delighted with it. Only you must keep your head up—and if you'll talk toGyp, without leoking down, he’ll stay by you, and I can get him in.’’ ‘But I can’t possibly see him ifIl keep my head up this way!’’ ‘*‘O ves, you can—look with your eyes, but don’t move your head now—that’s beautiful.’’ And Bow went Dack intothe shadow of anold doorway, and was comparatively unnoticed. But by degrees one or two boyscame round Three, and were evidently puzzied at his fixed stare. Then more people came out fromthe'r houses—and finuily-a little crowd. They tollowed the direction Of his eye —looked over his shoulder. ‘* Mais dame! qu’est ce qu'il y adoncf’’ but could see nothing to attract such rapt and mo- tionless attention save a very old modiste stitching at an upper window ‘‘and I’m getting the mostawfulcrick in the neck, straining after this irrepressible an- imel. He’sbroughtall the stones in the street. and wants meto play with him. I’m sure these people will think I’ve got a fit— can’t possibly put it down to enthusiasm after perhaps bring | E . wed —* the ° ‘ . : ) 2 ~~ **Fhope not,’* said Two, ‘a broken jug miaht stop the boat tor a week.’’ . And then, almost as if she had stepped out from oneof the ebony cabinets (we shoukin’t have been in the least sur- —s , there appeared the loveliest little ace, the property of Mile. Eugenie, who told us Juncheon was ready, and would we give ourselves the trouble to descend? There was never a more brilliant steak dressed in any iun—or such pweaches—or such perfect coffee. But it was distressing to eat with Eugenie we would wiedly bave the order of things. It was distracting toe watch her bright ribbons flashing about the room; to bear hertalk and listen to her musical laugh- ‘ ter. Pretty is not the word. There was no art treasure in the house to compure with her, and Bow almost went on his knees to implore her for a sitting. The delight in her eyes when she demurely consented! The solemn ola chef and his suite came from the kitchen and grouped round the toot of the oak stair-case, where the little maid posed herself. The charm of this river wanderingis well put in the following paragraphs, witten as the boat drifted on to the quaint old town of Blois. The travelers had left the Seine of course, and were now following the mighty Loire to the sea: To come out of the solitariness of the river, let the boat drift with the tide, and turn round to watch the gradual unfolding of cities, was, inits way, akin to the feeling of hearing for the firsttime one of tbe great symphonies of Beethoven. And there is nothing fan- cifui in this comparison. It is the simple expression of the thought whieh oc- curred atthe time. Many will understand how things upparentiv opposite, and without any material connection, will, under certain in- fluences, recall and suggest one anotner. Weber, thom only seeing the ebairs, tables and benches of a cafe, piled up to the ceiling, com- posed one of his grandest triumphal marches. On days when the rain fell thick and heavy, he wrote his most joyous music, On sunny days the saddest. I remember one of us saying that evening as we looked at Blois, that it was like a peal of old bells when they clang ail together. Most of our readers wili probably have seen | allthese towns and many parts of the Loire. Butit will have been by diligence or rail— shooting suddenly trom a tunnel into the heart ofthe city, and with passing glimpses of the river—for no steumers can ascend above Tours, and Gien, Orleans, Beaugency, Blois and Am- boise are accessible by land only. In no way but the way we traveled is it possi- ble to see what these places really are and how | they are inseparable from the river. But for the risk of wearying we could dwell | fcr pages on this ‘one great charm | of our wanderings. The happy independence of our little boat—the first on these waters— where hone but fishermen had yet passed. | Dropping down tothese old cities, seeing the | towers, churches and casties open out from so | mMapy points of view, and with every changing | aspect, lying perhaps for an hour in one spot | inthelazy delightof only looking. Leaving them xgain, and seeing them diein the vague blue of the distance as we went out once more into the loneliness of the river. Passing Blois, with its clustered associations of the ‘‘Maid of Orleans,’’ ot Charles V. and of Sir Jobn Froissart; dropping past Chau- mont, founded by Gueldin, the devil of Sau- mur; past Amboise,Tours, black Angers, where Margaret of Anjou rests, and on into Nantes, the ‘‘Marie’’ completed her tour of the rivers of France, a journey as full of pleasure to them as they have made it to others. Ithingk we regretted few things more than parting with Gyp, when we four stood on the last platform together and looked up with wistful eyes, wondering why we were bid- ding each otner good-by. Though young, he had been ereatly aged by the tour, and no wonder. The sense of respon- sibilitv that weighed upon him, in constantly looking after and keeping us together, would have crusbéd any other dog. Never a morn- ing but be flew from ved to bed to see that we were all there. The same the last thing at night. bid two of the crew happen to walk only a few hundred vards ahead of the others, it bewildered his ioyaity and made him wretched till he had collected the four, like a flock of sheep. His beauty, gentleness and pretty tricks made bima pet everywhere. No little dog ever traveled so far before in an outrigger —certainly never one for so long a time on the kecl. He was proud of it, as you could see in ‘is manner to other dogs. He is sitting now with his paws on the fender, looking into the fire, where he sees pictures of the far-away riv- ers, of tiny Norman maidens with their white caps and little wooden shoes— Moustache, Tara- patapoum—little Florence. * * * * And so he nods bis head, dozing, to dregam over again our autumn holiday in the ‘*Marie!’’ Literary Notes.

So many, too, at the windows, in the doorways, sitting outside, working and chatting. An al tresco at home, After an upset in the riverthe party came upon this little bit of the dark ages onthe bank: After a few moments the river lane stole in- to a village, and stopped reverently in tront of & majestic church, one that seemed more fitted for the cathedral of atown than for the few white cottages that nestled round it. The danger we had deen in, Our narrow escape,and the fact of our being picked up almost appo- site to this chureh filled us with no ordinary emotion as we went into offer up our thanks to Goa. The unutterable peace of the grand and stately interior brought back the rush of the water and all the rest we had laughed at so lightiy but which might have had sodifferent au ending. It was the famous church of the old abbey of St. Georges de Boscherville—the purest speci- man of Norman architecture, possibly, in the country. Onatable we read: Par la pieuse munificence De Raoul de Tancarville, Grand Chambellan de Guillaume, Dit le conquerant, Duc de Normandie, Cette Ezglise A ete construite Entre les Annees 1050 et 1066, Laus Deo, Pax Vivis, Requies Defunctis. Notfarfrom the Seine is the little town of Andelys, where the crew of the Marie found a wonderful inn, *‘le Grand Cerf.’’ It almost took awuxy our breath. Bow de- clared it would drive any artist wild with de- light. Iwonder what old Joe Willet would have thought of it? Wide as the difference wasin works of art, and old paintings ana objects of vertu, there was something that at the first glance brought back the inn in ‘‘Barnaby Rudge,’’ and almost made you look round tor old Willet in the chimney corner, bewitching little Dolly Vard4y 6n tha thrashe old, and young Joe, ‘‘with his arm toox off in the Sialwanners where the war is.’’ It would have taken many days to find ont, much less describe all the treasures of the place. It was morea museum than an inn, only thatit had all tne comfort of the latter. Out of the courtyard—itself a quaint picture, with its old stairwavs, old diligences with golden panels and flowers in every win- dow—you went up some curiously wrought steps to the ‘‘grand salon.’’ A heavy oak ceil- ing of rich dark color, with transversed beams, one huge beam in the center; the doorway let into an Oak turret msing from the floor and disappearing throngh the ceiling to an open fret-work. A little dash of stained window in anodd corner, through which the sun came and painted its picture on the dark wall. Just below it, a rare clock of Louis XV., and then a host of curiosities, endless as they were interesting. Paintings of still life, some of great value. ad Rembrandt and Rubens heads, antique jeweled watches, Eastern dag- gers, bits of old tapestry, solemn high-backed chairs—but to go on would be to produce what we all felt at the time,a v 6, pleasant be- wilderment, an utter impossibilitv to take in all there was in that room in such guick glim pees as were ours. Tnere was a strange fire-placein the kitchen, of which prints were to be had even in Paris. There was another little salon—more bijou, but of still greater interest and value. And then the staircase, where you could well spend a long afternoon, up and down its wind- in very side of the walls covered with paintings. statuettes and china—leading to two bed-roome that were perfectly m ous.

Lo, now the lamp is quenched, and the night is still and clear, And now rise up sweet memories of many a vanished year, And quaint old legends flit around, like cloud- . streaks in the sky, And wondrous are the teelings then that make our hearts beat high. The bright-eved stars look down through the sheen of the wintry night, Cali as though Death had fled from earth be- fore their holy light. Canst understand their silent speech?—I mind me of it still That legend once theytaughbtme. You shall hear it if you will. Far up amid the Afterglow he lived upon a star, And in another world, another clime, she dwelt atar. Now ehe was called Salami, he Zulamith, by name; And they two loved each other dear, and each loved each the same. Whilom, they both had dwelt on eartn and loved already there, But cruel Death bad parted them, and night, and sin, and care; And on them, in the sleep of Death, wings had grown apace; And they were doomed on two far distant stars to seek their place. white Though each dreamt of the other in their azure home above, There lay a fathomless abyss of suns between their love; And worlds, whereof the least God’s own Om- nipotence displays, Lay, in their hosts,’twixt Salami and Zalamith ablaze. And then consumed of bis desire, did Zulamith one night Begin from world to world to build himself a bridge of light; And tben did Salami, like him, from her sun’s glowing shore Begina bridge from pole to pole, as he had done before. One thousand years so built they, with faith that wavered ne’er, And thus was built the Milky Way, the starry bridge so fair That futhoms Heaven's farthest depths, links the planet band, And spans the mighty sea of space with light from strand to strand. and The Uherubim were seized with tear, and flew to God’s white throne: ‘*O Lord! see thou what Salami and Zulamith have done!’’ But God Almighty smiled,and,as a glory spread below: ‘‘What in My world true love bath built that will Inoto’erthrow!’’ And Salami and Zulamith, so soon their toll wes done, ? forth into each other’s arms; and may bloom again, For all who on this deary earth once loved ht and true. abart through Death, and care; and sin and night, and rue, is ve be strong enough to link the and the fleet wave-borne palaces of the inland } May trust such love for sureto find their long- ~ {Claud Templar, in Temple Bar. a’ * it y ‘ete o nyc pt ! 4 Ne Pa Ls es a Raat ah " = . ea Bd Pe, Fe 3 Pa ae = me , ae tae gs noe r% ry _eere J .

We had hoped to have been able to chronicle the complete accomplishment in one year of the Northeast Passage by Nordenskjold’s ex- pedition. For the opening up of the Siberian sea trade a great deal has beén done during the past year, and a regular route from Eu- rope by sea may now be said to be fairly es- tablisned. The modest Dutch Aretic expedition in the William Barentz to the Spitzbergen-Novaya Zemlya Seas coilected 4 considerable amount of data on the ice, sea and meteorological conditions ef the region; w hile Captain Tyson, in the Florence, on the Greenland side, brought back more than enough to justify the expedition. Captain Johanssen’s discovery of a new island to the northeast of Novaya Zemlya is an interesting event inthe arctic exploration of the past year, as is the small Danish expedition to the Greenland interior. In Russian Lapland and on its shores Lieutenant Sandeberg has been doing some careful scientific exploration, and at the other end of Europe the connection of the triangulation of Europe with the Algerian system has been all but accomplished. AFRICA AND ASIA, Africa swarms with explorers, professional, amateur and missionary—English, French, German, Belgian, Italian, Portuguese, Egyp- tian. Much is hoped from the expedition un- der Keith Johnston, which recently left En- gland for the region between Dar Salaam, Lake Nyassa and Lake Tanganyika. Alto- getber there hax been a steady, substantial in- crease of our knowledge of Afriea and its peo- ple during the past year. In Asia there has een quite as much activity as in Afric. quite anarmy of Russian explorers having heen out. Col. Prjwalsky’s journey from Kulja to Lobnor, concluded early this year, is one of the most important of modern times, giving us an accurate knowledge of an inter- esting region, previously almost unknown. His narrative has just been published in Eng- land by Messrs* Sampson Low & Co. In the Gobi Desert and the Alta Mountains Potanin has been doing good work, and the recently published results of journeys in the Pamir Mountains by Muskkeloff, Senastoff, Skassi and others enable us to correct much that is con- jectural and inaccurate on our maps. The ac- count of the special mission to Karategin in the Russische Revue atounds with infor- mation on this little-known, semi-independ- ent Central Asian Stete and its people, and Mayeff’s exploration of Hissarand the Amu- Darya region is of the first 1mportance. Our readers know what Capt. Burton has been doing in Midian, while an Italian explorer has been successfully attempting South Arabia. The narratives of Baker, Gill, Merrison and McIntyre (of the China Mission) have made us better acquainted with China and its people; while a Dutch expedition has made important additions to our knowledge of inland Sumatra. Our own Indian survey 1s steadily progressing; the narrative in the last report of the Mullah’s ourney up the Indus viriually completes our cnowledge ofthat river. The staff attached to the Afghan expedition will bring back many spoils to science. AUSTRALIA. In Australia, Sergison’s expedition in the northern territory and Forest’s in the western are to be neted, though one from Queensland westward does not seem to have made much headway. D’Albertis, in his two recent pa- pers read in London, has given the chief re- sults of his long and thoroughly scientific ex- ploration of New Guinea. The gold discov- eries in the island by Mr. Goldie have caused much stir in Australia, though the straggling bands of adventurers that have gone to collect it have not done either themselves or the natives much good. Mr. Goldie has added a little to our knowledge of the interior and the southwest coast. ‘The narrative of the French explorer Raffray of his visit to the north of the island was given this yearto the Paris Geographical Society; his study was mainly of the people. We recently gave the results of Miclucho- Maclay’s visit tothe Pelew Islands. Dr. O. Fusch,-of the Berlin Museum, has recently started on a journey of exploration to South- east Asia and Australia. From so qualified an observer,the best results may be expected. AMERICA. In North America the Canadian and United States surveys have been steadily at work. Mr. Ober has been employed by several of the West India Islands, mainly as a natural- ist. Crevaux has been doing capital work in the practically unknown interior of British Guiana, while two American expeditions have goneto the Amazonand the Madeira. The latter has already obtained pretty satis- factory information as to the extent to which the Madeira may be used as a trade route. The narrative of Moreno’s exploration of Southern Patago- nia has helpedto fill up the map ofthat re- gion. The Brazilian Government have taken steps to obtain correct longitudes for their chief cities. The convention for the cutting of a canal across Nicaragua is a notable ceog- raphical event of the past vear. Altogether, though there has: been no bril- liant achievement to mark the year, there has been substantial, steady progress toward a complete and more accurate knowledge of the earth’s surface. The death of Dr. Peter- mann, of Gotha, has been a serious loss to the cause of exploration and to scientific geog- rapby. . -— — Men’s Eyes, and Beiter Ones. [From *‘Locusts and Wild Honey,’’ by John Bur- roughs. The whip-poor-will walks as awkwardly asa swallow, which is as awkward asa man in a bag. and yet she manages to lead her young about the woods. The latter, I think, move by leaps and sudden spurts, their protective coloring shielding them most effectively. Wilson once came upon the mother-bird and her brood in the woods,and, though they w-re at his very feet, was so baffled by the conceal- ment of the young that he was about to give up the search, much disappointed, when he perceived something ‘‘like a slight moldiness among the withered leaves and, on siooping down, discovered it to be a young whip-poor- will, seemingly aslcep.’’ Wilson’s descrip- tion of the young is very accurate, as its downy covering docs look precisely like a ‘*slight moldiness.’’ Returning a few me- ments afterward to the spot to get a pencil he had forgotten, he could find neither old nor young. It takes an eye to see a partridge in the woods, motionless upon the leaves; this sense needs to be as sharp as that of smell in hounds and pointers, and yet I know an un- kempt youth that seldom fails to see the bird and shoot it before itiakcs wing. I think he sees it as soon as it secs bimand before it sus- ects itself seen. What a training to the eye s hunting! to pick out the game from its sur- roundings, the grouse from the leaves, the gray squirrel from the mossy oak-limb it hugs so closely. the red fox from the ruddy or brown or gray field, the rabbi. from the stub- vile, or the white hare from the snow, requires the vest powers of this sense. A woodchuck, motionless in the fields or upon a rock, looks very much like a large stone or bowlder, yet a keen eye knows the difference at a giance, a quarter of a mile away. A man hos asharpereye than adog, ora fox, or than any of the wild creatures, but not 50 sharp an a nose. But in the he finds bis match. How quickly the old turkey discovers the hawk, a mere speck aainst the sky, and how quick'y the hawk discovers you if you happen to be seereied in the bushes or bebind the fence near which he alights. One advantage the bird surely nas, and that is ow- mg to the form, struciure and position of the eye, it bas a much larger field of vision—in- deed, can probably see in nearly every divec- tion at the same instant, behind as well as be- fore. Man’s field of vision embraces less than balf a circle horizontally, and still jess ver- tica!ly; bis brow and b,ain prevent him seeing within many degrees of the zenith without a movement of the heed the bird, on the othey band, tekes in nearly the whole «phere at a glance.

For several days past they bave been nervous, but yesterday they became thoroughly frightened, because the published facts proved there was evidence not only that their operations but their personal- ity was knowr. The officers followed two of the women and will keep them in view until their cases are fully prepared. Rogers and Fay and the officers were busy all day, and a con- sultation was held lastnight to make ar- rangements for the struggle in court to~ day. The workings of a set of ‘‘dia- mond charmers,’’ as they are called, are de- ecribed py an experienced detective in the fol- lowing terms: A combination is first made,and it will num- ber all the way from five persons te fifty, de- pending entirely on the number of ‘‘sales’’ they intend to make together. This coalition must include a good-looking, clever woman, a man who can cover up her movements, a deal— er in precious stones, & landlord or occupant of a handsome bouse and a first-class party to give reterencesif required. The arrangemente ofthe people complete, the jewels by which the trick isto be played are selected, shown all around ,and the sum it is intended to charm out of the pockets of the money burdened fool is agreed upon. ° HOW ITIS DONE. . An announcement is then made in one of the great channels of public communication to the effect thataliady wants to borrow a sum of money on her diamonds for certain reasons, which, of course, are very probably and high- lv plausible, and the result awaited. In due course a gentleman who hasa tew thousan'ts ut hand which he wants to employ in a safe and profitable way, answers the advertise- ment. A day ortwoisaliowed to pass, 80 as notto seem tobeina hurryand make hima little anxious and doubtful as to whether sowe other applicant tor the loan onthe old family geins bas not been wore fortunate than he. If nore than one answer is received each will be thoroughly exemined and the richest -and softest pigeon will be selceted for plucking. The lady then gets a friend to answer the note, and make an appointment atthe house which has been selected for the meeting. Sometimes a very bold and cool-headed woiwan will selest a respectabie house, where the inhabitants know nothing whatever of her, and, under some pretense, use the place and esvape, leay- ing wonderment and mystery bebind her. The woman who transacts tne transter of the goods to the imbecile purchaser rarely does any of the writing, for fear of danger. Thenifshe gets into trouble Ler handwriting cannot convict her. Itis always important to keep the gen- tieman waiting a minute or two bofore the lady appears. This gives him an Leg See gf to become impressed by the elegant fittings in the pi rior, end opens up an opportunity for spec— ulation as to what kind of person he is about to meet. A PLAUSIBLE YARN. Presently there glides into the room a @igni- fiec, stately woman, thick orthin, asthe case may be, who puts him at ease with a wave of ber hand as she seats nerseit opposite bim, becking the light. Apologizing for detaining him, or may be for hel appearance, and giving a touching excusetor the disorganized condi- tion et ber toilet, she allows him to broach the business. Inreply she explains, with a mod- estly bending head and a graceful arching ofa band:ome neck, that she hasbeen a widow a couple of vears; that ske was obliged to hy- pethecate her diamonds—old family jewels that h:d belo: ged to her mother’s grandma— to arrest the foreclosure of a mortgayve on her home. These prized and ancient relicsof an old family were in the hands of one of these souiless nen who knew nothing bnt despicable money and who was charwing her at the rate of ten percenta monthtorthe accommodation. Of course she knew nothing of such mat- ters. But she knew the little in- come she had to liveon was being swallowed up bv the haru-hearted cormorant who held ber dear old grandma’s jewels, and she must do scmething rather than lose them® In the hope of finding aman with a balance at his panker’s and a mocerate supply of compassion in bis composition, who would be willing to draw on both for an interesting young widow, left alene in the world anid utterly unsophisti- cated, and wlio would take her property, at say halt the interest—she would be satisfied to ay half; yes, she could get along with that—she would be rendered cowpletely happy. It would only be for a short time—as she had a note on GoldbDin & Silvereux, of San Francisco, due in ninety days, for just the amount sie desired to bour- row on the diamonds. IN THE TRAP. Naturally no man could be insensible to such a proposal and such a story, and an appoint- ment is made at the pluce where the diamoad are to be seen. Several days are again allowed to elapse so that nothing may appear precipi- tate and the dupe given alittle chance to de- sire to close the bargain. The day arrives and so does the gull. Heis shown the goods; the stony-souled retainer of them mutters some- thing about their enormous value and is very inuch out of temper that they areto be taken from him and given ta some outsider. If the gull should appear to doubt the value ot the fewels or manifest a wish to have them valued he is desiredto do so. ‘‘You might take this gentleman’s clerk,’’ suggests the lady, *‘‘ana go somewhere to see how much they would wive you for them.’* The apoey: hearted growls, but assents. When they gain the street the question arises where they shall go to have the diamonds estimated. Tue clerk surely knows the best place, and he takes the customer tothe reference. This lat- ter member of the ring is not particularly anx- ious to take anything of such Value just at thit moment, but as the gentieman is so persistent he offers within a couple of bundred dollars of what is demanded at the other end ot the line. Cowpletely convinced that the diamonds are more than worth three times what he is asked, the gull hurries back to the diseconsolate widow and the surly, stony-hearted ogre in waose charge she bas been lett. It does not take many minutes for the trans— fer of the diamonds and the otten hard-earned thousands, and frequently f.: less for the sus- ceptibie {ool to discover that his feelings have been worked upand nis pockets rified by ac- complished rogues, whos: dupe he readily be- came. He frequently endeavors to get back some of his money, but if he have a family or belong to some calling or profession to which exposure would add disgrace and ruin, they frighten him, and he rushes away with a beavy heart and hides his folly from the world. As the operations demand the ring is enlarged > and often becomes so extensive as to include men prominently before the public, but never- thele:s with their secret strings of connection with lawless people. Not long since a noto- rious woman wanted amansionia a certain locality, and found itdifficult to get at the landlord beeause of the reference wanted. she went to the church of a famous preacher in tbe neighborhood, attended service regu- larly, gave generously at collections and to the clergy man's family, and became promin- entin the congregation. When all waa ri she told them she wanted a house near the chureh; the minister pointed out this very residence, took herto the landlord, became her reference, secured ber a lease for a term of years, and, like many another good wan who has been taken in, has continued to regu t& it ever since. —_— NOTES ON NOTED PEOPLE.
