ALL THESE PERSONS took sick last week, but physicians awaited the developments of unmistabable yellow fe- ver symptoms before reporting the cases. For this reason, the number will not be so many to-morrow,as but few persons have taken sick since Saturday. BRINGING BACK THEIR STOCKS. Merchants who boxed up their stocks and hauled them tothe river and depots vesterday brought them back to their stores to-day, owing to quarantine on merchandise at St. Louis, Cincinnati and Louisville.

Yellow Fever Near New York. Rv Western Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 21.—Two seaman, suffer- ing from yellow fever, were admitted to the hospital yesterday. One, C. S. Colby, died to-day. The St. Louis Quarantine, The Board of Health has declared quarantine against the former city ot Memphis, and has officially notified all the common carriers with- in the limits of the city ofitsaction. This 3e- rious step, which was nottaken until theun- mistakable epidemic character of the yellow tever at Memphis was manifested, will inter- fere so seriously with commerce that it was only taken after due deliberation and under full conviction of the necessities of the case. The Board of Health of this city has been in constant telegraphic communication with the Board at Memphis, so that they arein possession of ail the facts in the development of the disease at Memphis. Last year’s experiences throughout the South were so terrible, and St. Louis came so near having her share of the atten- tions of Yellow Jack, that the physicians as well as the people feel just a trifle panicky aboutits possible advent now, and, whilethe hegira from Memphis seems to center on St. Louisasa city of refuge, hun- dreds of St. Loutans are making arrangements to convey their families to a more securely northern location on the first appearance of the disease outside of the walisof the quaren- tine hospital. Tne Board of Health met yesterday at the Mayor’s office in an extraordinary session. All the memwnbers of the board except Messrs. Lightner and Moffitt were present. ‘The Health Commissioner stated that he had official information thatthe yellow fever was prevailing inthe city of Mumphis as an epi- demic, und that in accordance withthe pro- visicus of ordinance No. 10,978 he desired to establish the tollowing quarantine regulations asa protection tothe mercantile intasests of St. Lonis and for the satistaction of the Texans who have charged St. Louisans with reship- bing Memph's goudsto avoid the quarantine restrictionsin Texas, llis recommendation met with favor, and THE REGULATIONS were adpted, as follows: 1. That no treight of anv kind shall be al- lowed to ve brought from what was lately known asthe city of Memphis,and what is now known as ‘‘The Taxing District,’’ to any point Within the limits of the city of St. Louis. z. That no steamboat, or other water craft, or railroad train coming directly trom Mem- phis shall be allowed to land at the wharf or discharge its treight or passengers within the limits of the city of St. Louis without first hav- ing obtained a permit to do so from the Ilealth Comtiissioner, orsome other officer desiguat- ed bv him. 3. No steamboats,% or other water craft, coming from, or that have touched atthe port of Memphis, or that shall have landed on either side of the river within one mile of tne limits of Memphis, shail be allowed to land utthe wharf or discharge its freight or passen- cers within the limits of the citvwof St. Louis withont first having obtained a permit to doso irom the Health Commissioner or some vther officer designated by him, which ofticer shall be stationed and permit issued at the quarantine station established by the city of st. Louis on the west bank of the thecity. 4. Any person, whether a any steamboat passenger or other water- from yeliow fever,or from what may be supposed to ve vellow fever, shall be placed in and cared forin the hospital wards at (Juarantine Sta- | tI02). CARRY THE NEWS TO TEXAS. The Health Commissioner offered the follow- ing resolution, Which was adopted: Resolred, That the rules ov4 cegulations to ve entorecd during cue eXistence of yellow fever, repared and recommended bythe National soar d of Health, are approved and indorsed by | the Board of Health of the city ot St. Lonis, und that the health department of the city of St. Louis pledges itself to carry out and enforce Sula 1UIcs ' nxre practicable and adaptable to the city.

He can now take a person trom any place und transport him to another, 1f in his Opinion the health of the city demands it. had This is,perhaps, the most marked change from | iast year’s regulations. t In pursuance of the action of the board, Drs. F. T. VUutiey and Frank D. Eversole, accom- panied by an experienced corps et nurses, de- parted for the quarantine station this morning to prepare for the reception of the steamer tte.

The old hospital, which was formerly used for poor patients with chronic Ciseases, had its patients transferred to the Poor-house, for some time before it was nade a quarantine station, dur- ing the epidemic of lust year, it became so thoroughly permeated with the germ of Yellow Jack that it was burned to the ground and the new one put up. are six wards in the building, each capable of containing twenty patients comfortably. It has been thoroughly white-washed, new reservoirs and sewers bave been built and all things made to conform strictly to hygienic laws. Memphis People Louis. A reporter of the PostT-DISPATCH called at the office of the Cairo Short Line Railroad this morning to learn how many people from Mem- phis are coming to St. Louis. Mr. Depew, the general passenger agent, said they have bringing blutt new The Number of in St. been upfrom 150 to nearly 200 passengers from Memphis now tor about fivedays. A great por- tion of them do not stop inthe city, but go on to different points north and west. Last night, for instance, a party of eleven persons who had come in from Memphis on _ the Cairo Sbort Line went to Chicago over the Illinois Central. But few stop at the ho- tels, nearly all of them having friends with whom they are invited to stay. Mr. Depew thinks Memphis pretty well cleaned out. The Memphis and Charleston Railroad, running from Memphis to Chattanooga, has ceased business and shut up shop till the fever is gone, The Cairo Short Line has refused all Memphis freight for St. Louis and Northern points fora week past, and Mr. Depew is every day ex- pecting Cairo to stop passengertrains. He has sent out circulars to shippers saying his road will not be responsibie for the delays of freight on account of quarantines at different points along the line. The Board of Health. Dr. Luedeking, the Clerk of the Board of Health, was asked this morning about the provable course the Board would take in the matter,an‘ after some desultory conversation the reporter said: @°‘The opinion is general througn the city, Doctor, that the Board does not keep the peo- ple thoroughly intormed about the course of epidemics, and that they will do the same this year?’’ ‘*Every death will be spread upon the records of this office,and your reporters caa take them off when you please.’’ **Do you apprehend any danger here?’’ ‘Oh! no. You seethe disease has not de- clared itself yet. Nowinallthe terrible time of last year St. Louis had only fifteen deaths, and all of those were imported cases from —_ Kads, Mississippi towas and from Mem- phis.’’ ‘*‘Do you mean to say that there were no cases originating here, Doctor?’’ ‘*‘Well, quarantine was mace a hot-bed of yellow fever, there was such a conglomeration of bad cases there that the hospital resembled a Southern infected region transported t the North, ana several’ who were there took the diseéase and died., Decid- there wae no case that originatga in St. ” " yhy yellow fever i 2 and ur latitude Mississippi | limits of | or of | | Memphis,’’ and regulations as far asthe same | * h. i | eities, a copy of the above | | erty left there? | aatbority | the peace.

We can prevent them from conglomerating by the power vested in the Heaith Commissioner.’’ **Do you propose to make the quarantine a strinvent one?’’ **Not at present; the necessity has not arisen. We will take off the sick and tumi- gate the balunce with the fuines of sulphurous acid. Of course we will watch the distribution through the city of these who are not stopped at quaran.- t me very closely, and as soon as any of them full sick they will be taken care of at once.’’ ‘Can so lax a quarentine do much good?’’ ‘*Well, it affords all the needed protection, and does not do as much harm as stricter rales would. We will not resort to stringent meas- ures until later. Aslongasthe cases are not allowed to accumulate in our place it will be all right.’’ ‘*Were not some cases taken out to the City Hospital last year?’’ **At the beginning of the tronble, yes. But thereis no danger otf intection there at this time. If an cases occur they will be treated like last year, if they have not the money to treat themselves—put on board speciul ambulances, and transported to the quaraptine boat, where medical attendance may be had, and on the boat they will be taken on down the river.’’ ‘*What kind of u disease is yellow jack?’’ 4% ‘*‘Akinto malaria. It is supposed to have a germ Origin and, like other zymotic diseases, to be propagated by cell division. These min. ufe cells are drunk in the water or breathed in the air.

So-called ‘spirillm’ have beenfound in the blood of people who have cdiedof the peculiar tropical ‘febris re- currens,’ or recurrent fever.’’ How about the sanitary condition of the city ?°’ ‘‘It ig fair; extra officers and the Board will watch closely.’! have been put on every point The Heaith Commissioner. Mr. Fraacis stated that he had every prepar- ation wade for athborough search oi the Ste. Genevieve. ‘‘Have you any means of compelling a boat to land?’’ ‘*None but the civil process afterwards. I am going down myself to-morrow to see how things are on this boat, ancdif there is no sick- ness present, I will feel verv easy in my mind tor a couple of weeks to come,’’ ‘*Do you think we will catch Louis?’’ ‘*Cettainly not for some time yet, if at all. Our only dungerous period is when the malarial deseases begin in the au- tumn. IL don’t apprehend anything serious here with proper cure upon the part of the healtb nuthorities.’’ Mr. Francis wasinahurry to go out upon his rounds, as this is his busiest season, He repeated his assurances, however, that he felt no cause forularmon the part of the people, and that every confidence ought to be put in the ability ot the Board of Licaith to take care ot the city. it in St. The Feeling Among St. Louis Merchants. The merchants of the city generally seem to think the quarantine a necessary measure, which, while it may temporari- ly hurt comm erce, will certainly save health, The opinion is a unanimous one, that the tima has come to quarantine, andthatthe actiom of the Board of Health is tobe commended as prudent and good. Ov ‘Change, the fever has cvidently hurt the markets, and the quarantine will cut them still worse, but it is looked on as an inevitable mis- fortune which the law of selft-pvreservation makes fa duty. It is hoped that a rigid quarantine with the river towns may yet. save the city from the severe measures adopted by Texas last year. Llow this will be remains yet to be seen. In the meantime the Southbein trade is going to the dogs. What a Well Anown Memphis Cotton Dealer Says. Mr. Napoleon Hill, one of the largest cotton dealers of Memphis, arrived in the city this mcrning and was onthe St. Louis Cotton Ex- change at 10 o’clock. Through the kindness of Mr. Wm. M.

Heis now here tor making arrangements of the same kindtor this season. He was warmly greeted by the members of the Cotion Ex- change, everybody being ready witha word of sympathy. Just From Memphis. The Cairo Short Line brought in a large num- ber of refugees from Memphis this morning. Among those encountered by the Post- DISPATCH reporter was Mr. Thad.S8. Ely, a well-known commercial gentleman. Mr. Ely said he and his friends were absolutely worn out with the fatigue of the trip. Said he: ‘‘We ieft Memphis yesterday willtully 800 people on our train. The time for starting was 10 o’clock, but it was 12 be- fore the baggage could be checked, and the train gotaway. Wehadnosleepers along, and many of us had te stand baif the time.’’ ‘*Are the people leaving Memphis rapidly?’’ ‘*Yes indeed. Fully 1,000 lett yesterday. The physicians have told the people they would have or leave to suffer as they did last year, for the fever is certainly epidemic.’’ ‘*Are there many more cases than have been reported?’’ ‘*Yes, about ten times asmany. There have not been many deaths yet, becuuse they have nothadtimetodie. Every theory about yel- low fever seems to be exploded by the cases owe have had this year. Now they said when the first man died the oth- erday,thathe had caught it from infected clothing, and they said another had aied be- cause he drank too much whisky, but now you see all these theories tallto the ground.

I fear tnere will be great suffering, for they can’t expect the same reliet they had last vear. There will get to be too much of a sameness about this thing of giving.’’ ‘*Don’t you think the city may be in some danger of wholesale burglary and arson?’’ *‘Oh,1 don’t know. Mostofthe police re- main and nearly allthe members of the Fire Department. There are also two com- panies of colored militia which will re- main.’’ oan are the leading business houses going 0 do? **Most of them will close up and desert their establishments for the summer.’’ _ **You think, then, that Memphis is in a very bad condition?’’ ‘*Certainly. The people are all panic- stricken, and the city will soon be almost en- tirely deserted. Quarantine will soon be es- tablisbed at every surrounding point, and it the people do net escape now they will be hemmed in and compelled to stay in the plague spot.’’ Hopes Suddenly Blighted. Mr. Fontaine, of the extensive commission and cotton firm of Hill, Fontaine & Co., was at the Lindell. He had been away from Memphis ten days, and could not speak of the actual condition of the city. He left just after the first alarm was given. ‘*I was jnst saying,’’ said he, ‘‘the day be- fore the first case was reported that the prospect was too good and could not last. Memphis had almost entirely recover- from the misfortunes and I never business prospects. of money in the banks, and trade was coming in from all directions. Butin a moment every rospect was ruined. I do not snow what the consequences are going to be. Our own firm will probably come ere and Open an office as we did last year.’’ Memphis Depopulated. j Mr. C. E.

(From the Philadelphia Bulletin.) We do not know preeisely what is tobe the scc pe of the bulletin that is to be issued rega- iarty by the National Board of Health at Wash- ington, butitis withinthe boundaries of pos- sibility that a publication made under such auspices should bave tar greater value to tie country than most of the documents that are printed by the Government and scattered broadcast bv Congressmen under the franking privuege. The masses of the people are espe- cially in need of instruction in sanitary science; and while there ts a multitude of pub- lications devoted to discussion of matters of hygiene, most of them are specialists, they are not circulated among the masses, and they cost morethan the common ran of persons care to pay. The time has passed when intelli- gent people regard the presence of epidemic disease in a community as a direct punishment for sin, sent from heaven. Upon these subjects—concerning the best methods of preventing disease—the people need information sotbat they may be able to com- prehend the origin ofthe maiadies which come to them through neglect and ignorance. And the Federal Government would confer a benefit upon the country if it would reduce the number of patent office reports and mis- cellaneous public documents of greater Or less uselessness which are now flung about over the lund among persons who could not be hired to read them, and would authorize the issue and free distribution of a periodical which should give sanitary information based upon high scientific authority. There is special need of enlightenment in this direction in the Southern cities, where to what seems dense ignorunce as added in indolent indlsposition{to use ordinary and obvious precautions against the distribution of the poisons that come from filth. Wecannot compel the citizens of Mem- phisand New Orleans to drain their streets und their houses properly, but it is possible to show them bow it may be done and ~to demonstrate clearly the perils of ne- glect. Scientific men eannot force the govern- ment of Philadelphia to construct its sewers properly or compel Beltimore to purify that harbor of hers, which swells rank to heaven, and is recognized as one of the foulest spots on the American continent. Butit is pessible so to instruct and inform public opinion that the people at last will insist that Philadel] phia sew- ers shall not drain their filth into the so‘l upon which the city stands, and that Baltimoreshall carry her sewage to a point where it will not perpetually offend the public nose. But it isin the matter of domestic and indi- vidual bygicne that teacliing is most demanded. ltis safe to savy that tens of thousands of American people are as much in need of in- struction upon the cominonest branches of this subject as were the wretched, half-savace Isrvelites whom Moses led out from the land ot Egypt. If {the bulletin of the National Board should undertake to enter the field which thus lies open it wonld deserve to receive the widest possible circulation even though there should be expended in the process a large sum ot the money of the government.

This question has been decided by a San Francisco judge, who holds that the cutting off of a Chinaman’s queue, under the -authority of a city ordinance, ‘cruel and unusual punishment.’’ And the is a judge is right. ACCORDING to the last census, the num- ber of foreign-born persons in the United States was 5,550,000, out of the 38,000,- 000. But the number of those who are born in this country, but of foreign-born parents, is much larger. There is a good deal of Europe in this country. Tur Senate of the United States, by the overwhelming vote of 25 to 4, adopted the following amendment to the Constitution on the 29th of March, 1826: ‘*That no person whe shall have been elect- ed to the office of President of the United _ States a second time shall again be eligible to “That office.’”’ If the amendment had been finally adopt- ed, there would be no talk of a third term to-day. Tur New York Svn is anxious to know whether Tilden, if elected a second time, will be permitted to administer the office. In the light of recent history, we should say that only a most decided and almost impossible majority in the Electoral Col- lege could ever make Mr. Tilden President. A man must be judged by his record. Til- den did not have the pluck to take thie office when it was placed in his hands in 1876. What reason is there to believe that he would show more courage in 1880, should the circumstances be similar? SERIOUSLY, We do not believe that the murderer Sanders is far from St. Louis, if out of the city at all. The same amount of energy displayed at home that has been ex- pended at distant points might yet result in his capture and punishment. Several re- ports of his appearance in or near the city have reeently been current,and though these reports are not necessarily correct, they are certainly worth aninquiry. The efficiency of a detective force is shown in following up a clue to a successful issue. We are pained to observe that in this respect our detectives are conspicuously obtuse. They can not take a hint. Ir General Ewing is elected Governor of Ohio the floods will be out. There will be in- augurated an immense movement for the over- throw of the resumption policy, and we shall drift toward repudiation, and when the obll- ‘gations of the United States are on a par with those of the late Southern Confederacy, the Confederacy will be avenged. Elect Ewing and hard money Democrats will cease to exist. —[Cincinnati Commercial. What nonsense! If Ewing is elected he will have just as much to do with the money question or resumption or repudia- ation as the man in the moon—really less, as the getitleman in the moon may have something to do with it, Every hard lp anneeeienenee | money Democrat.can vote for Mr. The rivers will re- for the simple reason that his election would only mean a Democratic President in the National Democracy—honest, sound money based on coin. Tue Kansas City Times mentions a case which’shows how the Indian Bureau does not regard this as a free country, at least not the Indian Territory. A Baptist minister named Kelsey, with his family, encamped within the Indian Territory recently, for pleasure and recreation. The preacher was arrested as & trespasser, and after two days’ confinement was brought before the United States Commissioner, at Baxter Springs, on a criminal charge. The Com- missioner, after a careful and rigid investi- gation of the law, and a regular trial, how- ever, acquitted the minister. The idiotic Indian Bureau should now indict the United States Commissioner. THE merckants who met on last Saturday to consider the Texas quarantine problem acted with fairness. Texas doubtless has reason to be apprehensive that efforts will be made to transfer goods from Memphis to that State. It had a right to warn St. Louis against the shipment of such goods, and our merchants skowed a proper con- sideration in pledging themselves not to ship any merchandise upon which an em- bargo had been laid. Experience proves that the yellow fever poison finds its favor- ite hiding place in wearing apparel, bedding and manufactured dry goods. Withouta prohibition upon such articles shipped from an infected spot there is always danger. Ir we are to believe the Washington cor- respondent of our esteemed Republican contemporary, Gen. Ewing is about to lose all his Greenback-Demociatic supporters on account of his hobnobbing with Tilden; the Bourbon Democrats have lost faith in him, and are trading him off to secure the Legislature, and the Copperhead Democrats are deserting him because they are afraid he intends to crush themifelected. If this picture is drawn truly, Gen. Ewingis in a bad way. Of course he will get no Repub- lican votes, and, if he gets no Democratic It is a common opinion among leading Democrats yotes, he will get no votes at all. and Republicans that if Gen. Ewing cannot control the solid Democratic vote of Ohio, nobody can. But it appears, according to this veracious scribbler, that Gen. Ewing is already unhorsed before the fight fairly be- gins. ‘**DIFFERENCES OF CONDITION.’ Our readers will probably remember the speech made by Lieut.-Goy. Dorsheimer, of the printed by us in full.

It catchwords and little prejudices of little made an argument against the cries, Democrats who are opposed to. too much the Mr. Dorsheimer made an eloquent appeal for education in common schools. the largest possible education of the peo- ple. And at this point, answering the ob- jection that there was danger of educating people beyond their station, he said: ‘The differences of condition, every day be- coming wider and deeper, give aaple secu- rity.’ We do not know of amore amusing and incredibly absurd illustration of the power of the press than the case furnished by the above sentence. People will certainly have to read it twice before they can un- derstand it atall. If there is tion to it it is not because it conveys any- any objec- thing untrue or unpatriotic, but simply because it alludes to a perfectly plain fact, but does not state it plainly. But Mr. candidate for New York his nomination. very was a prominent Governorship. The did not desire Soa few days after the Dorsheimer the Sun speech was made it published a ringing and stinging editorial against Mr. Dorsheimer, and un- tharging him with undemocratic patriotic sentiment, and proving it—by de- taching the sentence quoted: “The differences of condition, every day becoming wider and deeper, give ample security.” Horror of horrors! Think of it, people of New York—the differences of condition, every day becoming wider and deeper, Has gnybody ever Is the give ample security! heard a more dangerous sentiment? man who spoke it not a monarchist? Well, incredible as it may seem, the well assumed sincerity of the New York Sun, usual combined with its vigor and. bril- liancy of attack, had its effect. The sen- tence was quoted, commented still journal author, Mr. The papers hostile to him prov- upon, is discussed by York. Dorsheimer, made and every in New Its defense. ed to their own satisfaction that he base aristocrat could never be the Democratic Governor of New York. And the New York Sun triumphantly announces that Mr. Dorsheimer is now out ofthe race for the Governorship—that the ‘‘differences of condition sentence” killed him, Sun- struck as it were. If this were true we should be sorry in- deed. Mr. Dorsheimer will probably be philosopher enough to smile and wait for the time when the authors of this false and absurd crusade against him will regret it and be ashamed of themselves. He is aman of too many parts and too much power and destiny to be killed by flea-bites. But we should be sorry for the press that it should abuse its power in such a preposterous manner. We should feel sorry for the Democratic party of New York if it could really be in- fluenced by such palpable falsehoods. At a Jistance of over a thousand miles we have read the speech in question in calm- ness and without political or personal bias. We have carefully reread the terrible crim- inal sentence. And Wwe have no hesitation whatever in saying that no one but a fool can deny its correctness. ‘The differences of condition’’ are becoming ‘twider and deeper.’’ Mr. Dorsheimer did not approve of it or wish it or indorse it. On the contrary, he simply stated the fact. Ji was nota sentiment but a statement. It ho was a who was a statement of a condition which the 1880 on the platform always occupied -by. Whole speech clearly showed he deplo If hé had added one word andsaid: ‘Un- fortunately the differences of con- dition are . becoming wider and deeper,” etc., the sentence could not have been twisted and turned into the opposite of what it meant. But even as it is, to an unprejudiced mind, it does not ) justify the utter misrepresentation which the sentence has been subjected to. We do not think that any other journal would have dreamed of using it in the remarkable fashion in which it has been used except the Sun. We do not think that even the Sun would have dreamed of performing this extraordinary feat but for its unfriend- liness to Mr. Dorsheimer’s candidacy. HOW MUCH DO WE OWE ABROAD? It is an interesting question. But it is one not easily answered. In the Augustnumberof Harper’s Monthly, a writer estimates the entire indebtedness of the United States held abroad at $1,649,- 000,000. He thinks that our foreign debt was about $2,000,000,000 in 1875, but has since decreased. How this tremendous debt accumulated, may be indicated by the simple fact that in the flush times of false prosperity, between 1865 and 1875, the ex- ports ofthis country amounted to 926 mil- lions of dollars less than our imparts. But since 1875 a great commercial revolu- tion has taken place. Our exports are now largely in excess of ourimports. In round figures our exports now exceed our imports every year from 250 to 300 millions of dol- lars. | We think the estimate in Darper’s must We do not think that all the United States, railroad and other securi- be incorrect. ties of this country held abroad amount to the sum of $1,649,000,000 now. But even if true, how long will it take to pay off that entire debt? With a least one hundred millions of gold and sil- production of at ver every year; With a cotton crop which alone this year will bring to this country three hundred millions of dollars; with our breadstuffs yielding still more; with other important raw products and manufactured articles steadily growing in value as ex- ports; with a balance of trade of about three hundred millions a year in our favor— how long willit take this country to pay off every penny of its debt held abroad? ~~... * AE Nae caine SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Daughter of a Tenor Singer, and Successively Wife of Three Lords and an Arch- bishop’s Son. The Political Salon at Strawberry Hill and Its Distinguished Visitors. » _{From the London Telegraph, July 7.] We regret to announce the sudden demise, upon last Saturday morning,ot alady to whom, ina higher degree than to any of her contem- poraries, was given, along with many personal and intellectual gruces, that exceptionally rare quality which is called by @ur French neigh- bors ‘‘L’art de tenir salon.’’ It was the boastof Mme. De Recamier, with whom Frances Countess Waldegrave had many points in com- mon, that she had had half the celebrated men of Europe tor her admirers without ever losing one of them for a friend. The accomplished and large-hearted lady who breathed her last upon Saturday at her house in Cariton Gardens, numbered as many acquaintances as any leaderof fashion bv whom cards olf invitation were ever issued in this metropolis, andit was the constant aim and triumph of her lifetoturn her acquaint- anees into friends. Upon receipt of the intelti- gence that Georgiana the famous Duchess of De- vonshire, wasno more, Lord Carlisle remark- ed:‘* Then we have lost the beat bred woman in London ;’’ upon which Charles James fox, overhearing the words of his friend, broke in with the correction: ‘‘Then we have lost the best-bearted woman in London.’’ The tradi tions of the Liberal party establish beyond denial that it has always been richer than its rivals, the Conservative party, in political salons, In many of his novels, Lord Beaconsfield has insisted upon the benefits derived by a Government from that drawing-room influence which was so widely and happily exercised by Georgiana, the wife of the fifth Duke of Devonshire; by Lady Hollaud, the friend of the great Napo- leon and the constant correspondent of Sydney Smith;and, in more recent times, by Lady Paimerston. Like the toreh-bearers of Lucre- tius, these distinguisbed ladies handed on ‘‘thelamp’* of their personal popularity to Lady Waldegrave as their fit and worthy suc- cessor, and we are doing no injustice to those of her sex and station whom sfiie bas left be- hind wht n we Say that, in neither of the great political parties which divide the State, can her equal as a semi- official hostess be fuund: HER HOUSES, both in London and in the country, were perpetually op2n to successive parties ot well- selected guests, and against no one who had attained eminence iu any walk of life, and who added to that claim gentle manners and social charm, were her hospitable doors ever closed. Her successin entertaining andin getting the best out of her friends was the more remarka- bie, seeing that. unlike her predecessors in an art which is rather French than Englisn, she was not berself ‘‘born in the purple.'’. The daughter of John Braham, the singer, she had passed her youth in the midst ot scenes and ussociations different from those which surrounded the daughter of Lord Spencer who married the Duke of Devonshire, or the sister of Lord Melbourne who married Lord Palmers- ton. But her beauty, upon which to the end time produced little effect, her wide sym- pathies with all manner of excellence, her rare kindness of heart, her social agrements, and her sparkling Vivacity qualified her admirably forthe part which she so efficiently played. Thetidings of her premature death—in her litty-ninth year—will be read with no ordinary pain by many in every rankof life to whom she was known as a constant and nnchanging friend, andit may betruly said of her that she wus always ready to exert her influence in advancing those who were in want of «a heiping hand, tor not afew well-known persons owe to her generous sympathy: and judicions alvice that startin life wnich subsequentiy led them on, in some cases to success, and others to dis- tinction. Lornin 1820, Frances Elizabeth daughter of John Braham, was married, as a beautiful girlof 17, to John James Walds- grave, the natural son of the sixth Ear! of Waldegrave.Her first .usband’s life was of short duration, andin 1840 she married his half brother, the seventh Lord Waldegrave, who died without issue in 1546. From him she in- herivred the large possessions of the Walde- grave family, among which were numbered the Priory, at Churton Mendip, in Somerset- shire; Dudbrook lUouse, in Kssex. and Striwberry Hill, near Twickenbam, with the last of which her fame and memory are most intimmutely associated. There are many stili living who can remember the tenderness and fidelity with which she shared the vicissitudes experienced in his wild career by her second husband, ot whom, upon his death, aged thirty, in 1846, it is recorded in the ‘‘An- nual Register’’ that ‘‘he was born in 1816, the eldest son of John James, sixth Earl of Walde- grave, and succeeded to the peerage on the death of his fatherin 1835. Thus succeeding to rank before he arrived at discretion, the ex- cesses ofthis young nobieman were unfortu- nately tou notorious. The dispersal in 1542 of the museum or Horace Walpole, Earl of Ox- Anne, the THE WALDEGRAVE FAMILY Maria, Dowager Countess of Waldegrave, and Duchess | of Gloucester, the daughter ot Sir Edward Wal- pole, wasthe result of his pecuniary diflicul- ties.’’ It was reserved tor this deeply regret- ted lady, gifted, the Quarterly Re- view said of her in 1876, ‘‘with head, heart, imagination, energy, and will,’’ to do fitting honor to the memory of Horace Walpole by restoring the villa at Strawberry Hill, which was his creation and delight, to its original lustre and prestige by making it one of the most agreeable country houses in England and by greatly augmenting its resources. ‘*You perceive by my date of Twickenhawm,’’ writes Horace Walpolein 1747 to bis friend the Hon. H. 8. Conway, ‘‘that I am got into a new camp, and have left my tub at Windsor. Itis alittle plaything-house that I have got out ot Mrs. Chenevix’s shop, and is the prettiest bauble that you ever saw. It is set in enameled meadows with filigree hedges. ‘A small Euphrates through the piece is rolled, And littie finches wave their wings in gold.’’’ Ladv Waldegrave accepted for her third hus- band Mr. George Granville Harcourt, the eld- est son ofthe Archbishop of York, and it was in connection with the graceful hospitalities dispensed by her at his beautiful seat at Nune- haw, near Oxford, that, for the first time, her rare qualities as a hostess became widely and generally known. Her husband, who was many years older than herself, left the invita- tions to his table entirely in his wife’s ableand +e] as | judicious hands, and for a dozen years it was the custom of those Oxford undergraduates who were admitted to a participation in its hospitalities to speak of Nunebam as‘‘Capua.’’ Afterthe death of Mr. Harcourt—who, by his sngacity as a man of business and an experienced manager of property, did much te increase his wife’s ample revenues by developing and greatly improving the admin- istration of hercoal mines at Chiverton Men- dip, iu Somérsetshire—Lady Waldegrave was, for the tourth time, wedded to Mr. Chichester Fortescue, who has since been raised to the peerage under the title of Lord Carlingford, and in connection with whom her reputation at the head of the most successful and influential political saion that the metropolis has known since the death of Lord Palmerston was gained and established. When Mr. Chichester For- tescue was appointed Chief Secretary for Ire- land, it became his duty to atténd tne theater at Dublinin company witbhJiis wealthey and distinguished wife. They who best knew the harmony of mind and heart subsisting between herself and Lord Carlingford are ina position to oe the irreparable loss which he has sustained, and in presence of so overwhelm- ing a calamity to her bereaved busband, even the void created by her death in society at large, and the gloom thrown over the pros- pects ofthat political party which was so near and dear to her heart, fade for a moment out of sight, and appear by comparison too insignificant for recapitulation. ‘et itis, of course, with the pubiic and social graces of this highly-gitted lady that our chronicle rust deal, purposely setting aside those quaii- ties in private jife which so deeply endeared her to all her more intimate friends. Generous as she was witty, and bright as she was kind- hearted, the high rank which she acquired by marriage aid but stamp in her a nobility of na- ture already possessed. Amid the wide-spread gioom which her death must cause, it is a so- lace to know that there was in her case no lin- gering and painful approach ot theend. Lady Waldegrave died, we believe, almost without having experienced the coming of dissolution— enotber victim of the inclement weather which has taken the place otf the summer season. If gentle memories give consolation, and sympa- thy could alleviate such a loss, the shadow would be lifted trom the heart of him who must most lament this nobie and gifted wo- man. _- — A Celestial Kiss.

I have seen no indications of Demo- cratic success. The Republicans will bring EVERY INFLUENCE TO BEAR. Hayes, the President,is from Ohio, and Sher- man, the Secretary of the Treasury, is from Ohio. They will both bring all their influence to bear, and you know they have a strong following in their own State. The influence ot the whole administration and Governmental machinery will be brought to bear, and I think this will lead toa triumph of the Republicans.’’ ‘*Then you do not think Mr. Thurman a promising candidate for the Presidency?’’ ‘‘No, ldo not. Inthe first place his State will go Republican this fall, which would be sufficient to defeat his nomination, and in the second place, he could not be elected it he were nominated.

It has been spoken when an ocean was torollin between parting hearts, but it never is spoken with such pathos and unction as when a country editur, with the memory of bis hard grubbings and his scant comforts pressing upon him, hands his vale- dictory over to the compositor, puts the stub- end ot his worn out pencil into his breeches pocket, and shuffles his rheumatic legs down stairs, to go no more back forever. ‘*We part upon the square.’’ We proclaim general amnesty all round.

R. The Citizens of Lexington Enthusiastic in Its Favor. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. LEXINGTON, Mo., July 19, 1879.—On Thursday a mass meeting of the citizens of Lexington was held to consider the ways and means whereby the extension of the Burlington and Southwestern Railroad could be made to benefit this place. For some weeks past a corps ofengineers have been busily at work surveying in Carroll county, in order to find the most feasibie route for the new line. It is known, by all conversant with the work, that the new road will be in the hands of theC., B. and Q. R. R. and is really intended to run to Kansas City, in order to give that road direct connection with its Western line, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. The towns ot Carrollton, Norborne, and Lex- ington are very anxious that this road should come their way,in order that they may bavea direct outlet to northern as well asvastern points. Quite a large delegation of citizens were present atthe meeting from Carrollton and Norborne, composed of the most promi- nent merchants of those two towns. At 10:30 a. in, the meeting was called to or- der, and after speeches from the representa- tives of the three towns, a comunittee was ap- pointed to interview the railroad authorities on the proposed plan of constructing the route this way. It is certainly to the interest of Lexington that the proposed road should come this way, and, vice versa, for the interests of the rail- road company. Lexington has natura! facili- ties such as would tend to make it the best manufaeturing towninthe State, could it get a direct outlet for goods made here. The coal fields tound here arethe finest, by long odds, of anyinthe State, and the supply is inex- haustible. Then, agnin, the country, trom the edge of Carroll county to Lexington, is a broad prairie, und a very small expense, when com.- pxred with other proposed routes, would serve to make a most excellent road-bed. It is certainly a matter such as to demand the serious attention of the business men of Carroll and Lafayette countics. The route through the above named counties is necessarily a somewhat longer one, but can be constructed at about one fourth the expense otany other. The people of this section seem tully alive to the benefits to be derived from this new line to Khansas City, and if their re- ward is in proportion to the zeal displayed by them, they will e1e long have the satifaction of seeing the road in full operation. If the new road comes to Lexington itis the intention to construct a branch road to Nevada, making direct communication withthe M.,K. and T, at that point, thus giving Bates county, which at present has no railroad, aline of considera- ble importance. - — ——— ST. LOUIS COUNTY CROPS. Prospects of a Fine’ Yield of Grain and ruit. The erops in St. Louis county have nearly all been gathered, anda finer season for the bar- vest was never known. The weather has been allthat could be desired. The wheat crop is nearly allin the steck, andin the next fortnight will be thrashed. The average was larger than for many previous years, and the yield is most Satisiactory. Oats is much better than expected. The stalk is short, but the heads are weil filled, and the yield will prove an average. Itis nearly all in the shock. ; The hay crop is poor, indeed, most of it of an inferior quality, and the yield not half acrop, but nearly all gathered in excellent condition. Corn, though late, is growing finely, and the light rains of Thursday and Friday have ma- terially assisted its making. Some early corn, just in tassel, greatly required those rains, and the later corn wiil be mueh benefited. Thorough and constant plowing will yet pro- duce a full average crop. There is yet nocause for alarm in régard to the corn cropin St. Louis county. So taras fruit is concerned, the smaller of which has been gathered and tound a market, the early apples are not sotine as in former vears, having been wore or less affected with the sting of an insect, but the late or keeping upples will produce a two-third crop. There are no peaches inthecounty. Pears are look- ing well, and almost a full crop may be ex- pected. Grapes have been somewhat affected with the rot, Dutthe indications are that a tuir nalf crop may be expected. The rot seems more inclined to the Concord than any other variety, but it is to be hoped that it will not materially effectthe general yield. The Hartforids are looking splendid as wellasthe Ives’ Seediing. The Clinton, the Delaware and the Taylor Bul- let are slightly touched with the rot, but with no furtber ravage a good yield may be looked for. Early Rose potatoes were caught in the drought and their growth more or less imped- ed. and it is doubtful if the recent rain wili re- vive them much. The potato will not have its growth, and consequently much smaller than in former years, as is noticeable in those now exhibitedin our markets. The late ones are looking badly. : Melons will be quite plentitul if rains are not fur off. ical ‘an MISSOURL PERSONALS. Col. C. A. Mansur will be a candidate for Congress again in his district.

Nobody ever hears of them ex- cept just atthe depot, where their vociferous invitations greetallears. What they do with their victims, or what their victims are, no- body ever seemsto know. Nebody ever rides in their wagons apparently, and nobedy can tell where orhowthey liveor what they live on, and nobody will until some ‘‘express’’ driver reforms and tells all the dismal sevrets of his profession. The trees and flowers that line some of the streets, and appear in some of the front yards, take on a certain unmistakable metropolitan air. Thetrees are nearly always ‘‘limdens,’’ a bad-smelling, small-shading, poisonous veg- etable imported from abroad as the only green thing thatcan thrivein shaded and bricked areas, in an atmosphere of jime-dust and coal- smoke. The flowers, especially those melan- choly window-gardens in high back rooms, all need afresh air mission of their own; andthe ten-by-twenty section of all out-doors, per- taining tothe average citizen, is atravesty on Mother Nature that, like the sick Falstaff, ‘*babbles o’ green fields. . 7 ‘ * The historv of a fashionable neighborhood usually runsthus: First, it is part of some- body’s addition to the city of St. Louis, and is cut up into town lots, thereis afree omnibus ride and a lunch, and it is sold to speculators. A tew handsome residences are erected, and its fate is sealed. Other houses follow the first, a street car line is stretched through it, a church, aschoolanda park are some ol its most salient features, until by-and-by some- body putsupan aristocratic grocery upon a side street, competition follows, then the fash- ionable boarding-house takes possession of one of the mansions,and again its fate is sealed. In a year ortwo alithe houses are boarding- houses. Business moves upon the place and an immense barn of a tactory is put up with others of its kind aboutit. Business passes on after a time and the barns become tenements, and old-fashioned antediluvian mansions of fifteen years of age are as extremely undesira- ble and unfashionable as houses cau possibly be. ae —— —— CRAFTY GOLDSULL.

DEAD IN HIS PARLOR. A Boy Who “Did Not Know It Was Loaded.” . Geo. Rosenbaum Killed During a Playful Scuffie By Edward Wild, His Young Cous- in from Quincy, II. A Sad Result of the Pernicious Habit of Carrying Concealed Weapons. A most deplorable accident, which resulted inthe instant death of George Rosenbaum, transpired at No. 4241 Broadway short- ly before 10 o’clock this morning. It was a case of accidental shooting which may be more properly desiz- nated criminal carelessness. Rosenbaum, who is thirty-four years of age, was engaged in a friendly scuffle inthe parlorof his residence with two young lads, Edward O. Wild and Al- bert M. Cox, and picking up an unloaded revolver pointed it nt them, threatening to shoot them. Wild drew bis revolver, a larger one, forgetting that it was loaded, and saying ‘‘I reckon not,’’ sent a bullet crashing into the unfortunate man’s brain. The news was immediately wired to the Four Courts, and a Post-DISPATCH repor- ter was soon at the scene ot the accident. Quite a crowd had gathered about the residence, and stepping within the body of THE DECEASED was found. The ball had entered just above the right eye and buried itself in the brain, producing instant death. There had been no struggle between life and death, and the fea- tures were in that repose second only to peaceful sleep, whichis seen so seldom in cases where death has come from violence. Deputy Coroner Talbot had already arrived, and surrounded by the weeping trienas of the deceased, was taking their depositions, which established beyond a doubtthat the shooting was accidental. Several witnesses were examined, first amobg them being Albert M. Cox, thelad who was present at thetime of the shuoting. He stated that heand young Wild had come down into the parlor shortly after 9 o’clock, wheie they found deceased. He was seated on a sofa, and one going on either side of him they began ascuffie which resultedin his putting both of them fromthe room. On succeeding in get- ting the boys out Rosenbaum took a pistol fromatable and remarked: ‘‘Now I wouid like to see you boyscome back in here.’’ ‘*We willdo so,’’ answered young Wild, and drawing his revolverthe shot was firedin an instunt. Wild had loaded the revolver up stairs just betore coming down intothe parlor. He had then gone for a physician and knew no more. There had been no quarreling between the parties. - MISS TILLIE ROSENBAUM, a sister of the deceased, had heard the bovs scuffiingin the parlor, and then the shot. They were all laughing uproariously, and she was positive that the shooting was accidental. Mrs. Rosenbaum, her mother, corroborated the witness’s story. a. W. C. cf No. 816 Angelica street, GREEN, deposed: under | I was called upon by George VO. Wild at 9:30 o'clock this morning, or about that time, whointormed mein a very incoherent manner tit he nad shot bis cousin,Mr. Rosen- baum. I went with him at once to the resi- dence, and found Mr. Rosenbaum quite dead. There was a gunshot wound above hisrighteye of goodly size, and although I did not probe it, Iam positive that itentered the brain. Deceased was lving on hisface atthe parlordoor whenl came into the house. I questioned Wild at my office as to how it happened, and his statement was Similartothat made by young Cox. I askec him for the revoiver at my oftice and 1e- ceived it and gave orders to have into custody by the police. to how it all came about. YOUNG WILD, who was present in custody of an officer, tuen told his story ot the sad affair in avery aiscenu- nectedand agitated manner, his grief at his carelessness almost cre-ing him. It was as fenews: ‘*I reside in Quincy, Iil., where 1am employed inthe Vandeveer Corn Vianter Works as shipping clerk. I came here one week ago last Wednesday on a visit to Mr. Rosenbaum (deceased),who ismy cousin. This morning we were engagedin afriendly scuffle in the parlor, thatis Albert Cox, Cousin George and myselt. George run us out of the parlor, picking up a small revolver at the time and pointing it at Albert. lying on the table and unloaded. to get out ot the room in a laughing sort of wanner, and threatened to put us out of the house. Iie had pointed the revolver at both of us, and, stepping back, I drew my revolver and said: ‘*Willyou’’’ Lleveted the weapon directly at my Cousin George and cocked it, having fergotten all about loading it, and pulled the trigger. There was an explosion, and George fell, and I ran out fora plbysician. I had considerable trouble in _ find- ing one, having to £O to two offices. gave Dr. ‘;reen my revolver, and then a policeman came, and after questioning me took me to the stution-house. 1 did notdo this intentionally; it was pureiy accidental.’’ On a full examination of the case, Dep- uty Coroner Talbot arrived at the conclusion that there was no criminal intent in the shooting, and as the family of the deceus- ed entertained the same opinion, WILD WAS RELEASED He iconiy 17 years ot age, and is down ona visit trom (Juincy, Illinois, being a relative of the Rosenbaum tamily. Deceased was unmarried, and resided with his mother and two brothers at the scene of the accident. He was a paper-hanger by trade, well to do,and respected by all who knew him. The funeral will take place trom the family residence to-morrow. ABOUT TOWN.

Between Third and Fourth streets he met the notorious Fran- ces Davis (colored), who beckoned him into herden. Not knowing the reputation of the neighborhood, Colberer entered and found himself in the presence of the wicked Frances, Fannie Williams and Susie Smith. They bolt- ed the door, fell upon him, gave bim a torrible beating and stole his pocket knile, handkerchiet and $2. every cent the poor devil possessed. On regaining the street he sought out Sergeant Clark and Officer Lyons, who took the dusky damsels in- to custody and found the missing property in their possession.

R. RK. Quit Work. Another railroad strike is apparently im- pending. This morning in East St. Louis the platform men of the Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad struck work. These men num- ber between fifty and sixty. They are paid $1 per day for their labor, which is un- skilled, and demand higher wages. AS -the 1. (ane 8 bk. C00. the officials were very reticent, and appeared to know nothing whatever of the facts. The other railroad offices were visited, but there also no information was to be gleaned. At the Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad it was stated that the men Onthe other roads had tollowed suit this afternoom and also stiauck. A visit to the other rail- road companies resulted in no cor- roboration @& this statement. There was a significant reticence maintained. It is, however, very unlikely that the fitty or sixty men onthe Indianapolis and St. Louis Road should have struck without being sureof the support ofthe employes of the remaining companies.

Offerings of shipment bills ot both flour and wheat were liberal], as also were those of wheat bills tor carrying. Otherwise there was little doing, the offerings ot business names being quite light. Currency was in active country demand. while very little wagreturned, City banks continue to rder liberally irom the Kast, t surplus of credits thee still excessive, Eastern exchange was dead dull, iu large supply and not quotable.
