THE FUTURE OF ENGLAND. If there is one country in the world which is filled with apprehension and dismay at the prospect of the near future, that coun- try is England. For the past cighteen years that wealthy and energetic nation has known a steady and almost unequaled prosperity ; it has not only had its share of the gains modern inventions, dis- and but reaped a rich harvest from the waste of our accruing from all coveries improvements, it has war and the folly of our financial and eco- nomi¢e mistakes. But at last our commer- cial subjection to England has’ ceased, and instead of contributing to her varied and profitable industries we are a dangerous and dreaded rival; we have become self-sup- ¥wif-dependent, and under the dition of affairs are exposing And to&a competition which, under sisting conditions, she is not able to en- dure. The extension of our railroad system, the improvement of our rivers, the cheapening orting of our method of transportation and the al- teration in the basis of our values have de- stroyed at once and forever the vast agri- of that truth has been by the one year of good harvests here and of bad harvests abroad. But this hastened a conclusion which was inevitable. England cannot compete with the United States in the production of cereals of any cultural interests This sized country. empha- contrast between has merely kind, and the exaggerated value of her farming land is already a thing of the past. Moreover, the progress of invention has enabled us to fill her markets with fresh meat at Western prices, and the glory of English beef and mutton has departed with the glory ef her wheat-ficlds. Every agri- cultural interest must hereafter be carried on on a scale of prices dictated by Ameri- can competition. This is bad enough, but worse remains behind. It seems to be pretty well settled that we can export coal to England, and, as the cost of coal is a measure of the cost of manufacturing, the future of manufacturing in England is destined to the same fate as In fabrics of cotton, and in iron and steel, we can undersell the En- glish makers in their own markets. Al- ready, employment over there is scarce, at its agriculture. the low wages which The’ situation might be en- if there were a prospect of future improvement, but the prospect is the other way. Employment is slack because the English manufacturer has lost his American market. Instead of regaining it, he may reasonably expect to see the Ameri- can manufacturer occupying the English market. Employment, instead of growing more plentiful, will grow more scarce; wages will be lower instead of higher. What is England to do? There is only one recourse—emigration. The population of England is too large for its resources under the new order of things. The country will not support its inhabit- ants; they must leaye. There is no help for it; there is no other alternative. A prudent, thnfty and economical nation like the French or Belgians, with the national wealth equitably divided among all classes, might prosper with England’s population and England’s resources; but in England the wealth, the capital, the property is in the hands of the few. The millions are not only poor, but wasteful and improvident. More than a million of them are paupers all the year round, and five or six millions of them are only one step removed from pauperism. Deprived of their irvegular and poorly paid employment they will be forced across the narrow gap which divides them from pauperism; they will be reduced to the condition of the Irish when the potato rot and famine of even vail. dured pre- smnfort and prosperity has reduced its population of its resources. : difficulty might as well be met Muarely, as it can not be avoided. England is overpopulated; it has more people than it can support, and its surplus population must go. Before ten years are over it is more than likely that the population of Eng- land will be reduced by one-third, and the change will involve a vast change in the so- cial and economical condition of the country. Land will lose one- half of its present value, a great many of the staple industries will be abandoned and their operation transferred to this country. England will take her place as a larger Hol- land or Belgium, as acountry which has attained the full measure of its growth, and which will thrive thereafter, not by the magical energy of creation, but by the sleepy process of accumulation. All her loss will be our gain, and then the world can stand aside and witness in this country a rapidity of development of which history furnishes neither example, precedent nor parallel. IMMIGRATION. The returns of the Bureau of Statistics show ahealthy and natural increase in the immigration into this country, the numbers for the first six months of the year being largely in excess of the corresponding pe- riod last year. There is every indication that this increase will continue, and with new sources to draw from the immigration within three or four years will attain pre- portions never before known in history. It is worth while asking what is being done by the people and the State of Mis- souri to attract some share of this stream of our’. borders. might as admit that is not in favor with immigrants, domestic or the there has been a marvelous growth in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, the area of cultiva- tion has been steadily pushed forward in Wisconsin and Minnesota, while Missouri has been comparatively at a stand-still.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press (Rep.): The Congressional Investigating Committee at Cin- cinnati wants it distinctly anderstood atthe outset they are not looking tor Democratic frauds. There are plenty of those every- where. Cincinnati Commercial (rab. Rep.): Wheth- er Jeff.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican: Interviews are interesting, but nointerview could equal in interest an exact statement of what passed in Jim Blaine’s mind when he shook bands with John Sherman, and in John Sherman’s mind when he shook hands with Jim Blaine. Cincinnati Gazette (Rep.): Hostility to the nation is a complete outfit of political ideas tor u Southern political leader. No man can have a chance for election inthe South who affirms the supremacy of the national government in those powers which are conferred by the Con- stitution. Political aspirants court tne popu- lar voice by rivaling each other in declarations of hostility to the nation and to the North as the support of the nation. New Orleans Times (Ind.): The remark of Mr. Toombs that the goverament of the Union ‘‘is a temporary concern at best,’’ onlylindicates that he has mistaken the beating ot hisown pulse for the throbbing of the heart of the American people. He says that he does ‘‘not like the General Governmeut and would not consent to serve it inany capacity.’’ He, therefore, concludes that its dissolution is im- pending. He mistakes his own state ot mind for the sentiment of his countrymen. Chicago Tribune (Rep.): The great negro exodus about which so much has been said is very suggestive, but scarcely promises a solu- tion of any of the questions which agitate the country. It shows that the influence of the Constitution of the United States does not ex- tend to Mississippi or any of the lately rebel- lious States. Itisa dead letterthere. For not only isthe presumption strong that the colored people would not leave their old homes, a fer- tile soil and a congenial climate, except upon virtual compulsion, but the emigrants assert without a dissenting voice that they are fleeing from oppression and robbery.

They point to the precedent ot Mr. Hayes, and say that but for his election to the office of Govern- or of Ohio he would never have been thought of as a candidate for President. But the pre- cedent of Hayes is not a convincing authority to cite to Democrats. Besides, no man can stand tor a moment as a Democratic candidate for President who is in favor of re-enacting the odious, inquisitorial, unconstitutional income tax. Gen. Ewing may answer for Governor of Ohio, but he will never do for President of the United States. One candidate is disposed of. Educating Women. [From the Troy (N. Y.) Times. ] The means for educating women were never so excellent and extensive as now, and the results are of the most encouraging character. No longer do we see a one-sided educational system—providing for one sex only and leaving the other to do the best it can without college and university helps. The effect of the better education of women will be striking and perma- nent. Suppose no more than 1,000 women graduate each year trom the higher institu- tions; in the course of a generation the number will amount to many thousands, who will do much to elevate and improve the society, mor- als and intelligence of this country.

Mme. de Remusat’s Memoirs of Private Life in the Tuileries. iFrom the Chicago Times. } PARIS, July 5.—Nextto a revolution, Paris enjoys a scandalous memoir! French men and women, knowing this taste, before dying have a habit of writing piquant notes on the private moralities of such personages as fate may throw them into relations with. There is no literature in Christendom so0 laden with the riches ot domestic chronicles as the French, nor a language so susceptibie of giving, with- out shocking the conventions, tull swing to the follies and frailties of human passion. A language containing the memoirs of St.Simon- Cardinal de Retz and the Abbe Fleury may justly lay claim toa liberty of expression to which the exposition of rights in the declaration ‘of independ- ence is the formula of absolutism. Memoirs, totake the average French public, must be written with a free hand, and no one who readsthe charming stories of this species ot licerature loading the National library can justly complain that writers of French memorrs stood on the order ot what they told, however private or however flagrant. Paris, for the moment, is having one of its cherished sensa- tions. Itis standing before the domestic in- trigues ofthe first Bonaparte contemplating him in an unexpected and piquant attitude— that of LOVER AND INTRIGANT. The lively memoirs of ‘*La Marechale’’ Ju- not, Duchess d’Abrante, gave the first authen- tic glimpse into the passionate, almost flerce, love-making of the great Corsican. The value of the revelations, of their credibility, rather, was somewhat impaired by la Marechale’s all- pervading vanity. Ifthe lively Duchess isto be believed, Napoleon's love-making to her was nodeled on that of William the Conqueror to Matilda; for, though he didn’t roil the Duchess in the nearest horse-pond, he invaded her bed-chamber in broad daylight like the wildest freebooter of theta all. The character of la Marechale was ot ao light a sortthateven the French, fond as they are of this sort of detail and ready as they are to believe the scandal of royal personages, to some extent distrusted the revelations of Madame Junot, for the enemies of the Empress Josephine had strivento join her name with that ot the Marshal, and the story of the Duch- ess was considered rsomewhat as a quid pro quo. Fashionable salons, showever, never tire of hearing ‘‘theinterior,’’ as they call it, of their great men. Ouriously enough, it has been left until to-day forthem to read one of tbe most scandalous chapters of the life of the great captain, and that FROM THE PEN OF A WOMAN who, while intimate with him, was not his paramour; while close enough to eive him counsel, was not dazzled by his rank nor thrown off her balance by his confidences. Mme. de Remusat, mother of the recent Count de Remusat, the friend of Thiers, the compan- ion of Josephine, has left her private diary, kept faithfully as only Frenchwomen can keep such records, during the consulate and the em- pire up tothe divorce of Josephine from her husband. The private scandals of Na- poleon I. generally répresent him us being exceedingly jeulous of Jose- phine, and bemoaning his unhappiness. You were regaled some time ago by a reproduction of some of his outbursts ot impatience wuile commanding the armyin Egypt, and aiso ot :ome violent attacks upon the tair fame of his wife on his return to Parisin 1799. The Bona- parte family hated Josephine with a hearty hatred, and was never slowin piling up against the poor woman every shadow that might be tortured into a shade of reflection upon her faithfulness to the vindictive Corsican .Mme.de Kemusat, however, shows Josephine in anoth- er light—that of a teartul, outraged, jealous, but never vindictive wife. Although, as befits a ludy of the haute noblesse of France ata time when haute neblesse incant something, Mme. de Remusat LIFTS THE VEIL high enough and keeps it suspended long enough to permit some curious giimpses into the manners and tne morals of the empire at its hearthstone, the Tuileries. The story from the pen of- Mme. de Remusat is more like a romance ofthe middlejages than the matter- of-tact details jotted down night after night in the common-place book of @ penetrating and spirited woman ofthe world. Mme. de Remu- Sat was twenty-two years old when invited by Napoleon with her busband to take place as personages of honor at the consular courts. Napoieon from the first maneuvered to sur- round himself with the nobler tamilies of the monarchial aristocracy and the Remusats were among the very first families ot the old regime. Very much reduced in fortune by the revolution ,and hopeless of the re-estab- lishment ofthe monarchy, the Count de Re. musat reluctantly accepted the place ot chamberlain atthis wnongrel court, and with his wite joined their fortunes to the rising power of Napoleon. It was an incessant cause of bitterness—even inthe Bonaparte family and among the intimates ofthe First Consul and Emperor—that, bowever rude he might ve to the world—and he could be very rude when he sO pleased—he always knew how to soften his manners andcurb his outbreaks before even the most unpretending of the veille noblesse of France. JEALOUSIES OF JOSEPHINE. In 1802 the Theatre Francais had just made an acquisition of two very celebrated (in their day) actresses, Mile. Duchenois and Mile. Georges. The first of these was appreciated for her brilliant talent, the second for her daz- ziing beauty. Mme. Bonaparte learned, shortly after the appearance of the latter, through the secret espionage of her valets, that the beauty had been for several nights se- cretly introduced into one of the smaller apartments of the palace. This discovery inspired her with the most frantic spasms of jealousy. Sheconfided her griefs and sus- picions to Mme. de Remusat, breaking into tears and deelaring herself abandoned and heart-broken. Mine. de Remusat tried to show the wife that the only way to regain the devo- tion of ber husband—ifit was really true that he was wandering—was by gentleness patience and sweetness—the sole remedies that awoman has in such cases of unfaithfulness. Josephine broke out into bitter complaints against the truant, calling him the most inconstant and de- praved of men,and from this proceeded to make most frightful revelations of HER HUSBAND’S IMMORALITY. ‘*He has no moral principle whatever,’’ she declared; ‘‘he dissimulates his tendencies to vice because he fears that to let them become too conspicuously shown would lead people to suppose him following in the line of monarchial practices; but were 1 not here,’’ added Jose- phane, bitterly, ‘‘to prevent him he would soon deliver himseit over to passions the most shameful. Hasn’t he seduced one after anoth- er all ot his sisters? It is a frightful misfortune to me,’’ she added, ‘‘that I have not been able to give Bonaparte a_e son, Thisis always a subject upon which his family seize to make him hate me and trouble my re- ose.’’ ‘ ‘*But.’’ said Mme. de Remusat, ‘‘the child of your daughter Hortense Beauharnais (mean- ing the ex-brother of NapoleonIll.) will very much repair this misfortune. The First Consul loves him very mucb and will finish by adopt- ing him.’’ ‘*‘Alas!’’ responded Josephine, ‘‘that has been the great object of my hopes, but the strong and jealous character of Bonaparte will always be opposed to methere. His family have malignantly taken part in the OUTRAGEOUS REPORTS concerning the conduct of my daugliter Hor- tense, and the birth ofherson. The hatred of my enemies has ascribed this infant [meaning the brother of Louis Napoleon] to Bonap arte himself, and that is enough to make Louis [at- terward king of Holland] refuse to consent to any arrangement which should make that son the heir of his brother. You see very woll how he holds himscif apart, and how his wife Hor- tense is obliged to watch over the safety of his baby. Besides, independently of the high considerations which compel me to suffer these immoralities and infidelities of Bonaparte, if I let them go on unchecked it is always the sic- nal of unspeakable vexations and even abuse, which I am not able to support.’’ Mme. de Remusat attests that the unfor- tunate Josephine had but too much reason for these suspicions, and adds that it was quite true that whenever Napoleon had taken up with a new flame he showed a spirit of simply devilish violence, acerbity and heartiess- ness. He even took pains to announce to Jo- seuphine each occasion that he found a new 1 to please him, telling her brutally that he a TAKEN A NEW MISTRESS, and, if she showed a sign of resenting it, treat- ing her almost as a savage, frequently entering into a violent dispute with her to show her that these little **distractions’’ were necessary to him, resorting even to find mathematical argu- ments to prove it! ‘‘I am not like any com- mon man,’* he said; ‘‘the moral regulations which are necessary among common men are not made for me.’’ Shocking as these evi- dences of brutality are, they have in some cases a comic side, which reminds one more of modern French comed the man who was, for 03 Bonaparte, says Mme. de usat, still kept up the ing of i nhis wife's A > weugre ee, ; goers a a Oe OE ee _ aa. , PD: a . be several tore, she body mpted to dodim aninjury with her his side, he could always be etre ofa warning.’’ It thus hap- pened that she never retired ‘to bed at night until the valet came to warn herthat her hus- band wasin bed. It seems that when THE CRAZE FOR MLLE. GEORGES took him he caused her to be introduced into the chateau at late and irregular hours, gen- erally after his studies of campaigns and busi- neas of State were over. One evening Mme. Bonaparte, who had been torturedtor a time by these decouchements of her faithless lord, more than usually wrung by jealous inquiet- ude, caused Mme. de Remusatto remain with her until after midnight and then began to pour out her griefs without limit. It was fully 2 o’clock in the morning, when, attem ssi ateaed teas if on suddenly as- suming resolution and dismissing her com- plaints, she said to her companion, ‘‘I am going to see tor myself whether that creature is there with him or not—I want to surprise them.’’ Poor Mme. de Remusat, horrified at the position in which such an adventure would lace her, begged Josephine to think twice be- ore attempting such an adventure, reminding her that Napoleon had never a gentile temper, and, it bearded in his den, he would be apt to make things unpleasant, not only for Mme. Bonaparte, but for herself, Mme. de Remusat. Furthermore, she sagely advised that ‘‘no man likes espionage, and you will only drive bim to worse excesses by letting bim know that you followed him up and caught him.’’ Josephine, however, would listen to no argu- ment and would take no refusal, reproaching Mme. de Remusat with abandoning berin her grief and finally succeeding in spite of her re- pugnance in torcing the httle woman to takea candle and set out u»on their adventurous and comic enterprise. The Tuileries walis are very tick, and in many of them secret pas- sages jead to nearly all the private chambers oi state, built more for convenience, however, than mystery or secrecy. The two women, long after the dead of night, took up their si- lent march through those long, dark corridors and narrow passages. Mine. Bonaparte was first, both trembling with terror.@They pushed up slowly a number of winding stairs anJ final- ly reached a coinpact spiral, conducting to the private room of Bonaparte himself, which he had selected as the scene of his MIDNIGHT RELAXATIONS. Mme. de Remusat, trembling and ashamed, stopped and begged of Mme. Bonaparte to let her off, but by an imperious gesture the indig- nant wife torced her on. At this moment, however, a noise was heard above them, and the jealous wife herself nearly fell over in her terror. Both stopped, Josephine, turning, in astage whisper saying: ‘‘Perhaps it is that Mameluke that Bonaparte keeps to guard his doors. That wretch would be capable of throttlieg us both after the habit of his country!’’ At this pleasant prospect Mme. de Remusat confesses that she was seized with such fright that, withouta moment’s hesitation, sheturned about and fled ignominiously, leaving the unfortunate wife standingin the dark (Mme. de Remusat carry- ing the only candle), and never stopped an in- stunt until she reached Josephine’s room, where she fell exhausted, with fright and shame. After some minutes wondering why Josephine had not followed her, she suddenly bethought her that she held in her hand the only light, and that her companion was dcubtle-s wandering about the stairs inthe dark. Justasshe was about to go to her release Mme, Bonaparte appeared, and seeing the white face of Mme.de Remusat, instead of being angry, burst into laughter,and both of them, atthe thought ofthe ridiculous ,0sition in which they had been placed,joined n this unexpected mirth. The funny part of all these domestic brawls was that poor Mme. de Remusat, thanks to her brilliant parts, modest ways and lack of pretension, won, in spite of themselves, the respect and, what was not quite so agreeabie, the CONFIDENCE, OF BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE. Each insisted upon pouring into her unwilling ears their griefs and distrusts. Bonaparte con- fided all his vexations to Mme. de Remusat, although she distinctly refused to be any party to his complaints, telling him that he was alto- gether to blame, and once boldly said to him that he need tell none of his woes to her, be- cause she didn’t wantto ‘‘puther finger be- tween the bark and thetree,’’ a favorite ex- pression of French people who don’t want to be caughtin atreap; while onthe other band she repulsed Mme. Bunaparte’s confidence in the same way, upbraiding her with the dishonor of such espionage as she subjected her husband to through such ignoble means as her valets. Those who have wondered at the littlenesses with which Napoleon occupied himself at St. Hielena may be surprised thatin the days of his growth and power he was in the habit of descending into the same details—forexample, one day atthe dinner table, when everybody had left but himself, Josephine and Mme. de temusat, he abruptly informed the latter that in future he meant to occupy A SEPARATE APARTMENT FROM HIS WIFE, and he had been debating whether to take Mme. de Remusat as a judge in the matter whether a husband was oblige: to yield to the notion of the wite who wished never to huve any other bed than his. At this odd question Mme. Remusat declared that she was so start- led that she did not know whattoreplyv, for she knew it she decided for the husband Mme. Bonaparte would never forgive her, andif she decided tor Mme. Bonaparte Napoleon would reproach her for yielding too much. So she skillfully avoided a direct response, but Napo- leon, taking her by the ear, told her that was no response—she must declare for either one or the other. She made the diplomatic answer, however, thatfor her part she didn’t know precisely where the exactions of the wife or the complaisance of the husband ought to end, but that so far as her judg- ment went, anything that gave the nublic to believe that the First Consul jad changed anything in his way of living would always haveabad appearance outside, and give room toa discussion whicn would rather weaken the authoritv of the chief magis- trate. ‘‘For, as you know,’’ she added, ‘‘the least movementin the chateau causes a good deal of noise in the worid.’’ Bonaparte burst into a loud laugh, and, pulling both of her ears, said: ‘‘ You ure a woman,and understand how to manage these things.’’ These are only specimen pages of the ‘‘Memoirs,’’ which I propose to return to again. eee ue — PUBLIU OPINION. The Grand Jury. St. Louis, July 29, 1879. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: ‘*Your grand jury are charitable enough to believe that he (Mr. Francis) would not have been guilty of this misconduct in office but that he was under the influerce of liquor.’ Imagine Mr. Francis on trial for misdemeanor in office, and one of the members of the grand jury on the witness-stand. Attorney for the defendant—‘*‘ You say, Mr. ——, that Mr. Francis was drunk when the grand jury visited Quarantine?’’ Mr. ——, witness—*‘‘ Yes, sir.’’ Attorney—‘* You accompanied Mr. Francis tothe par of the Coahoma and drank with him, did you not?’’ Witness—-‘‘ Yes, sir.’’ Attorney—‘* When was it you first discov- ered that Mr. Francis was drunk—before or after you took a drink with him?’’ If the witness says before, the question naturally presents itself why this extremely sensitive grand jury would take a drink® with Mr. Francis, whom they now criticise for drinking. If afterward, there may be some doubt as to the accuracy of even a grand juryman’s judgment as to sobri- ety after drinking. But perhaps one drink may make a Health Commissioner drunk. It is fair to believe that none of the grand jury hadimbibed on the excursion boat so kiudly furnished by their genial foreman, on their way down to Quarantine. Yours, TRULY. Steamboats—Heavy and Light. St. Louis, July 28, 1879. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatcn: Permit me to make a few suggestions through your valuable paper in reference to improving the condition of the Mississippi, its commerce, fast, cheap transportation, etc., between St. Louis and New Orleans. I was reading an article some time ago in the river column of the Times-Journal on this subject, the most sensible that I havé seen. The writer ought to have been on the Commission. He says: ‘‘Let the Government remove the obstructions from the channel and dredge the shoal places.’’ I know from a practical experience that this is all] that is necessary, if we build our boats to carry from 1,000 to 1,200 tons on a six-foot stage of water. By this meaps only can we obtain cheap, fast trans- portation. There has beer an utter failure on the part of steamboatmen in general to con- struct their boats of the proper size and di- mensions. There is the Jas. Howard, which draws in the neighborhood of five feet light; her weight is about 2,700 tons. What an enormous amount of material that pays no freight to transport up and down the river. Now, take the City of Quincy, that would carry 1,200 tons on six feet. She drew two feet light; her weight was about 770 tons. I have no hesitation in saying, from my knowledge of the business, without having access to their books, that the City of Quincy | mademore clear money during the years she ran than did the Howard. The barge line is an exceedingly proper and useful spn vt gen bas ¢ et tiie atte 3 * >, ” 7 —— = ee r ze wt Tv . al “* Bs oe ink “ ‘ L % : me | s z e ‘ My husband’s on @ strike, and the cupboard is are ; All our money is spent, but I will not despair.

The convicts were Charles Gibson, who was sen- tenced tor horse-stealing on November 22, 1876, for aterm of eight years; Alonzo Ham- bright, sentenced on November 23, 1878, fora term of ten years, for the robbery of the aged Mrs. Rogers; and Charles Gvuodman, sentenced on April 25, 1879, tor a term ot five years, for robbing the Eisenhart premises at Millway. The nen were confined in one iron cell. About tour inches from the floor is a small iron register, fourteen inches wide by six inchesin depth. This was cemented into an open space in the iron plate, and was easily removed. The men then sawed or cut theiron plate (barely one- fourth of an inch in thickness) down to the floor, a depth of about four incihes,and,getting a perch upon it,broketheiron plate attne other side, thus giving them an opening to the fur- nace of about two feet in width and eight anda half inches in depth. The instrument used must have been of the finest order, the iron plate, where cut, exhiviting a surface as Sinooth as glass. Through this aperture they groped to the air chuamber—which is constructed like a sewer, fullv four feetin diameter, and extends not only the entire Iength of the building, but runs out under the prison yard, and up through the wallon the north side of the prison yard. Through this they casily passed, without fear ot detection, for they couid neither be seen nor beard. When they reached the passage that led through the wall, it was an easy matter to ascend, the width being such that a foot could be placed On either sive and supported on pro- jecting stones, after a manner tuat a ‘‘sweep’’ would ascend an old-fasbioned chimney. The top of the wall reached, there was nothing be- tweenthem and liberty butadrop, at arms’ length, of a few feet to the eartn. Jerseyville Jottings. Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch.

Supposisg customs were reversed, and instead of courting the giris, the girls were to court us? Supposing a sweet creature in bows and ribbons and poetical drapery and stephenotis should come to see yvu two or three times a week,and should discourse by the hour on the soul-ligbt of your eye, the Jove- like grandeur of your brow, the ineffable glory ot mustache, etc., etc., etc., don’t you think you would develop into a jackanapes in less than six months—even if you were far removed from one atthe start? Fact is, we men think nothing of telling a girl over and over again how much prettier and sweeter and better every way sheisthbanall her sisters; and is it unnatural that she should be goose enough to believe it aftera time? Who doesn’t hke to hear his own praises sung? But after marriage these sugar-caated lies return to plague the man that compounded them. He has taught his wife te believe that he can see nothing good in her sex outside of herself. And she never forgets her lesson. as many a married wight could testify. But don’t blame her, friend;she is only showing her abiding taith in your love vows. The trouble resides in you. You have ceased lying to her, off at - — - The Points of a Fine Woman. [From the London Truth. | Artists and anatomists are universally agreed that the shoulders of a woman should be nar- row and her hips broad. The modern school of wasp waists and pinafore tippets induces the inference that a lady of fashionis broader across the shoulders than across the hips; and the modern female torso has come to resemble an inverted pyramid. Finally artists have in all ages save the present one come to the con- clusion thatit alady be normally deficient in the peculiar attractiveness of the Vallipygian Venus—elle doit se meubler—she is bound to im- part a strictly moderate amplitude of drapery to that part of ber attire which does not con- front the spectator. There need not be absurd protrusion of the Hottentot kind, but the drapery should fall into folds. Just look at Hope’s ‘‘Costumes of the Ancients,’’ and you will see whutI mean. Underthe present as- tonishing sumptuary cispensation,where there should be flatness there is rotundity, and where there should be rotundity there is a lu- dicrous and most unhappy flatness. But the pursuit of such considerations would lead me to an inquiry into dress, a subject which [ re- serve for another time.

A man named Ballard, who had been convicted on the previous day of at- tempting to out his sweetheart’s throat, came up for sentence. The wound was not danger- ous, and there were some very peculiar cir- cumstances connected with the case. The prosecutrix,in answer to Mr. Justice Hawkins, said she was quite willing to marry the priso- ner if he were set at liberty. aw irion, prisoner having also expressed his willingness, the judge said he hoped he was doipig right in simply ordering him to enter ifito recognt- zances.

A DARK SUBJECT. ‘What Was Thought of Telegraphy When Telegraphy Was No More. {From the New Zealand Observer, July 27, 5890. } A discovery has recently been made more startling than that which attracted the atten- tion of the whole scientific world three years ago, when Dr. Smith announced that in his excavations on the site of ancient New York he had unearthed long lines of iron wire run- ning through the streets at about the height of second story windows, the signifi- cance of which he was wholly at a loss to conceive. They ran for miles, and were attached to wooden poles, not immediately, but by means of iron hooks covered with glass, which closely resembled in shape the necks of ancient bottles. Some also were found to run underground and oth- ers over housetops, and great numbers of them—nearly all, in fact—entered one large building. where they were connected with singular steel and brass objects armed with keys.’ This building seemed to be the main point of their emergence, while their other extremities were found in houses far aud near; the extremities of others — could not be found, since they ran off into districts in which as vet no excavations have been conducted, and some of which are wholly sub- merged under the water which, as geologists tell us, poured down uponthe country from the creat lakes upon the breaking awav of the rock barrier to the north. ‘The discovery which we have now to announce is still more startling, being nothing less than that what was once the American continent was connected with Europe in the same way, though the wires are larger than any hitherto found. At the extremities of these metallic chains, or rather cables, the same steel and brass instruments or contrivances have been found; the meaning of which. as of that of the cables in the now dry bed of the Atlantic, our savauts are totally unable satisfactorily to explain, though there are several more or less plausible theories in regardtoit. It is evident now that Dr. Smith’s first opinions in the matter are un- tenable. It will be remembered that when he made his discovery three years ago he was of the opinion that the wires were intended to hold up the’ houses to which they were attached, and to keep them from falling tothe ground. This theory he based on the fact that most of the houses in New York were constructed in so fragile a manner aud were so tall that without some such support they must have toppled to the ground in ease of a high wind. That high winds of the nature of cyclones were preva- lent in New York 1s evidenced by the fact that the upper parts of many of the buildings are found to have been blown and twisted into conical fforms running straight up towards me, than the business of a profes- al athlete.

THE AUSTRIAN CRISIS. The Explanation of the Remarkable De- feat of the Liberal Party. {From the London Times, July 12.] The elections to the Austrian Reichsrath have resulted in a serious loss to the German Liberal party. That party, consisting for the most part of representatives of the German element in the Austrian State, has lately com- manpded a powerful majority in the Reichsrath. It has used its influence in favor of the liberal principles which since the disasters of 1859 and 1866 have so conspicuously tended to the re- generation of the country. Though its total loss is computed at forty-five seats, it will still remain in a smal! majority when the elections are complete; but it will find itself confronted by acompact opposition, recruited from all the malcontent sections into which the most heterogeneous State in Europe is divided. The remarkable change in political senti- ment disclosed in these elections is attributed to various causes in different localities. Mis- management in the last session of the Reichs- rath has seriously impaired the power and influence of the dominant Constitutional par- ty, and thus every party opposed to it has found its opportunity in the present electoral struggle. In some districts the clerical in- fluence has proved unexpectedly powerful. In others local tendencies have profited by the confusion in the Constitutional ranks to se- cure agreater influence inthe Reichsrath. But the leading characteristic of the elections in all the great provincial dis- tricts has been rr movement of compromise and combination among the great proprietors. Hitherto the vote of the great proprietors has been, for the most art, cast in favor of the Constitutional party. But the general reaction against the Liberal majority has largely tended to effect a fusion between the Constitutional and Feudal sec- tions of the proprietary class, and thereby to revive the waning influence of the latter. Strenuous efforts have been made by the Lib- erals to recover the support of their former allies, but, in general, they have met with little suecess. The Constitutional proprietors have thrown in their lot with the Feudalists, and their representatives will be ranged on the Conservative side in the new Reichsrath. W hat the net result of this reconstitution of parties may be, itis at present very difficult to determine. The Liberal or Constitutional party still numbers 182 against an aggregate opposition of 171, composed of very hetero- geneous elements. It will, therefore, com- mand a small majority—sufficient to check any attempt to remodel the Constitution in a Federalist sense. The victorious Conserva- tives, indeed, disclaim ali intention of mak- ing any such attempt. They profess to be anxious for nothing more than stability and a rest from disquieting clive. Nevertheless, it cannot be doubted tliat they have gained a substantial victory against their opponents, and it yet remains to be seen towhat use they will put it. LA CREME DES CHRONIQUES. the clouds like spires and tall towers. It is inconceiveb!le that any houses should have been built in this way originally, for what earthly purpose could such spires subserve? No- body cculd live in them; no man of sense would stow goods in them; they could not bave been intended for ornaments, for they are the very reverse of ornamental. Prof. Prector. indeed, supposed that thev were What the Alleged Wits of Paris Find to Sayin Their Newspapers. A good old man who has attained to the very respectable age of ninety-eight sends for the potary. ‘*T wish to he make my will,”*’ says. built for astrological purposes. but adduced in favor of his theorv only the fact that they were tall and that onthe summits of most of them were found large pieces of bunting, inscribed with stars and stripes; he failea to’ explain the astrological meaning of the stripes, and so his theory at once fell to the ground. But toreturn to our sheep, which at present are these mysterious wires. Dr. Smith. in urging his view that they were in- tended to hold up the houses, or catch them when they should fall, pointed to the fact that the building in which the greater part of these wires bad their terminus was a massive structure and seemingly capable of bearing the strain upon the wires. and thus of up- holding the houses, even in the highest poss)- ble wind. But here the learned doctor was tripped up through the ingenuity of Dr. Paul De Brown, who showed that the very build- ing in question had been affected by a cyclone and its upper part twisted into a spire or cone similar to those which mark other buildings. However, there were Smithites who still clung to the theory of the original excavator, saying it was natural that one who knew where to seek for such things should know what they were when he had found them.It goes without | saving that Dr. Smith still adhered to his no- | tions, the absurdity of which even a schoolboy | Smith | whole | of America was itched to Europe by means of those cables in | on the | should be able to point out. Will Dr. have the hardihood to claim that the ‘reat and vast continent order tbat it might gain stability? Or other band will he claim that the Americans thus hooked Europe to their own land inorder that itmight not be displaced or slip away? | Why should it slip away? Because of the re- tundity of the earth would Europe slide over to | the east? And if it did so, would it not by | the western coast of | Asia push that vast area of country until its | other side would press against America at | Bebring’s Straits and push the latter conti- | Europe again | continents | Surely it would do | coming in contact with onward towards of the nent in turn so that the general relation would remain the same? so. There is no possible doubt 1n the matter. It may indeed be said that Europe and Amer- ica were connected by this cable border, to gain a foothold on its western be that the British Isles might over to America if the Russians should attempt to overrun those islands, but it is doubtful that any cable with the na- ture of which we are at present would be strong enough for such a purpose. Europe is not built of cork nor America of punk. The theory of Dr. Smith is utterly and for all reasons plainly untenable. | Nor is the theory of Dr. Boureingues de Bas-Bas nnv better. He dreams that these | wires were used fortbe purposes of commu- nication among the Americans: the brass and steel instruments with their keys rapped on the ends of the wi:es and could be heard and | the signals understood ata great distance. This bow-wow theory will not for an instant hold = water. In the high winds of New York the sound would be smoth- ered or blown away and never reach its destination. We know, too, that no such contrivance would be needed, for the Americans were gifted with more than stentorian Jungs. Manuscripts still preserved say that upon the breaking out of the. first civil warin the United States a cry went through the land which was heard in every Village and hamlet; still later one Dennis Kearney said that his voice should be heard and understood from the shores of the Pacific to thore of the Atlantic. What need could there then have been for such means of inter- communication as are described by Dr. Boureingues de Bas-Bas? None whatever, and so that theory topples into ruin. It may be that future discovery will throw light on this important question. but as vet all is darkness; and. in attempting to consider it, we are like a ship at sea without a rudder, sail or compass. a > — —E WOMEN AS ATHLETES.

A BABE IN TH EK WOODS. The Wanderings and Death of a Little Girlina Vermont Forest. The Burlington, Vt., Free Press contains un account of a little girl’s wanderings and death in the forests about Ripton. Two little girls, the daughters of Mr. J. E. Goodyear, were sent on an errand to a neighbor’s house half amie away. Returning, one of them went py the road and the other took a foot- path through the woods. Julia, who had gone by the road, returned home safely, but the other, Bertha, who was only nine years old, did not appear, and her mother becoming anxious started at once in search of her daughter. Soon finding that the little girl had wandered from the path, she gave an alarm, and a small body of men that constanly received accessions formed askirmish line and the forest was thoroughly searched for about a mile anda half with no success, except the finding of the girl’s track attwo widely separated points. All the logging roads with which the forest abounded were closely examined, when dark- ness put an end to the search for afew hours. Reinforcements having arrived, a foree of overa hundred men followed the roads by lantern Jight for an hour or two, when, tbat failing, a halt was ordered until daybreak, when some 150 men pushed on, determined to find the little oné. They found tracks following the north branch of Middle- burv River, which flows through some steep hills in a rough,rocky chasm that would appal any but the strongest nerves from undertak- ing its descent. For some mile and a half further the gir] was tracked, in which distance she crossed the branch twice, and having reached the juuction of the stream with the south fork she again crossed the stream, clambering up a high, almost perpendicular rock, and, over- come by the excessive exertions of the past few hours, lost her hold and fell thirty feet to the rocks and river below, crushing in a small portion of the skull in the upper part of her forebead. She was apparently. instantly killed and floated into an eddy of shallow water, where she was found about 6:30 by the searchers and, aftera little delay, taken to her almost distracted parents, — > — os | | Notes of Summer Travel.

CROSS-EXAMINED BY MR. LODGE: I employed Mr. Turner on the first con- tinuance ; some time along in June. Turner in all $75. why I id not pay him the $150 down was that I was afraid to trast the Four Uourts lawyers, tor had heard so much aboutthem. What I wanted to swear to when attorneys denied me tnat was that on the \ the cutting Mrs. Sterling came down from building No. 20u0 Olive street and joinea me, of her own accord. When we got to the Missouri Park she wanted a_ glass of beer, and I offered to go over to a sajoon near by and get her a giass of beer, and she refused saving, ‘No, when we get to your room then you can go out and get a pitcher of beer with some ice in it and wecan drink it together.’ I also wanted to testify to her having discharged the servants over on her farm fin Illinois, and living with ine alone in the house, but my attorney, would not allow When I asked Turnerto make a or address _ a the jury bebalt, replied that it was useless, as ‘Judge ¢ tine had the lust speech and would tear his effort all to pieces. I looked at Cline, and did not think him a very formidable man. ADJOURNED. At the conclusion ot the cross-examination by Mr. Lodge,who appears for Turner and Van Hoorbeke, an adjonrnment of one hour until 2 o’clock was taken. Afterncon Proceedings. On the recenvening of the Criminal Court, at 2:15 o’clock this afternoon, William O. Smith was recalled to the stand and his cross- examination resumed by Mr. Lodge. ‘‘IT was arrested at my boarding-house on Locust street, and taken direct to the Central District Police Station. i waslocked np with several men. One of them was Charles Parker, who recommended Mr. Turner as a very able lawyer. Mr. Turner came to me and requested me to make the affidavitas to Mrs. Sterling’s good character, stating that I would be foolish if I did not, as by so doing lI could gain my liberty. The question by Mr. Lodge, as to what was the prisoner’s defense, wus objected to, but overruled, and Smith answered: ‘*Several very material witnesses of mine were not examined, and were not even subpo- naed, by whom I intended to prove many things, among others my mental eondition prior to and at the time of my trouble with Mrs. Sterling. Those wit- nesses were Drs. Close and Lewitt, and Ed- ward Hicock, of Summerfield, Ill., and Mrs. Locke, of this city. Dr. Eastman, of Indian- apolis, I have known for a number of years and he was subpenaed through mis- take, tor I wanted Dr. Sellers fur he had at- tended me when my head was hurt when I was about seventeen yeurs old.’’ The witness did not remember that he had filed three affidavits for continuance On the grounds that Dr. Eastmann was somewhere in Utan Territory. ‘when in reality he was in Indianapolis,and had been brought on by the prosecution. Smith throughout the dav has testified with a recklessness plainly me fomene + as if knowing that by strong swearing he would stand ashow of eventually evading eight years in the Penitentiary. The case will consume the entire afternoon and may not be concluded to-day. Mr. Turner seems confident of success and will put a num- ber of witnesses on the stand in order to refute Smnith’s statements. Theinterest in the case has not abated, and stanaging-room can only be obtained with difficulty. THE TABLES TURNED. Wakefield Bounced From De Bar's Opera-House, While Mr. Robertson, Norton’s Attorney, Takes Possession. | A Bold Move—Arrest of Wakefield, Billy Carroll, Capt. Martin and His Sons. The tables are turned, and Wakeficld no longer holds thefort. De Bar's theater has once more changed hands, and John W. Norton is again in possession. Mr. J. A. Robertson, the attorney of Mr. Norton, has said little during the Wakefield tenure. He always asserted that when the time came he would take nosses- sion. This was thoughtto be simply a phrase tocoverup ‘‘masterly inactivity.’’ But Mr. Robertson is a man of his word and has done what he promised. He has taken possession despite all tbe legal opinions tothe contrary. And what is more, he avows that he will continue to hold the fort now. The Wakefield faction is now downcast. while the Norton party is jubilant. Mr. Robertson by an astute and masterly move has become mas- ter of the situation. This morning he walked auietly up the Four Courts, humming a tune from ‘‘Pinafore,’’ the very opposite of the picture of a Machiavillian schemer. Arrrved there, he SWORE OUT WARRANTS for taking forcible possession of ty against Wakefield, Billv Carroll, Capt. Martin and bis two sons, Theodore and Truman. The warrants were im- mediately placed in the hands of Marshal Coff and his deputies, G. # Lewis and August Hohoff. Robertson accompanied them down to the the- ater, arriving there a few minutes before two o’clock. Billy Carroll was in Wakefield’s office, reclining at his ease in a chair, lie welcomed the intruders with a smile. He didn’t anticipate their mission until tbe Marshals collared him. Wake- field himself then came rushing up, when he also was arrested. Capt. Martin, Theo. Martin and Truman Martin were also forthwith arrested. All ot them, including Col. Anderson, who shares Wakefield’s law office, were perempto- Then Mr. and proper- Short with three men, the building, including Wakefield's law office. Men were immediate- ly placedin charge and now Mr. Robertson sings ‘‘Holdthefort.’’ After WAKEFIELD AND HIS PARTY were cjected from the building, they were re- They will, the charge of taking forcible possession under the law ot trespass. So the taples are completely turned. Norton is once more in possession, and the vision of a first-rate variety show grows fainter. Mr. Robertson’s Robertson, Andy Parle took possession otf uf move was not foreseen by Wakefield. It was well planned, well timed and | | boldly conceived. What the next turn on the boards will be remains to be seen. THE STRIKING COOPERS. Their Number Daily Decreasing—Two Em- ployers Kefuse to Sign the Contract. The striking coopers held a slim meeting this morning at Vorwaerts Hall, about one-fourth of their original number being present, the rest having returned to work. The following | | rorin your issue of to-morrow. Yours truly, shops have failed to sign the contract. and when they agree tothe coopers’ demand the strike will be ended: Belcher’s Sugar Refinery cooper shop, Sec- ond and O'Fallon streets, employing i16 men. Charles Wuenderlich, Ninth street, between Monroe and Exchange. employing 30 men. Henry Springmeyer, Chambers, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, employing 14 mene Jaynes & Uo., Empire Shop, Second and Webster streets, employing 75 men. Adding together the number ot employes tormerly working in these shops,it will be seen that the total amounts to 235, which is the number of coopers now out of work. ‘Ten shops within the pastten. days have agreed to in- crease the wages oftheirmen, and as each boss signed the contract his old hands resum- ed their former places and withdrew from the strikers, thus decreasing the number of the latter. The number of hands now at work un- der the new order is about 340, making the original number 575. About 100 coopers left the city shortly . atter the strike began, and, subtracting this number from the one stated above as awaiting the signatures of their employers, it reduces the number of the discontented to 135, which composed the au- dience at Vorwaerts Hall this morning. At the commencement of the strike these men, 575, were all engaged at work, and should the rewaining shops agree to the increase demand- ed, there would pe 100 positions vacant which might not be — filled. and thuse shops now holding back would be the sufferers. It was expected that oneor two ompearere would sign the contract this morning, ut up to noon, which ended the day’s deliberations ot — strikers, not a single one had put inan ap rance. ne committee appointed to wait upon Mr. Belcher and explain the attitude of the strik- ers reported thatthey had seen that gentie- man, and he had stated be would shut up shop before he would sign the contract. A member stated that Mr. Jaynes had been heard tomakethesame statement as that at- tributed to Mr. Belcher. Letters were read from Staunton, Ifill., and Greenvilie, Il., containing drafts oras of encouragement. > Agcy of th thanks was tend however, have to answer | 3 nygh- . } | Deputy Circuit Clerk, from which position he cee iil ne | vision of the State Supreme Court, and, | the Court of Appeals was organized, in classic De Bar’s | The Exchange Bank President, Giy The Board Resolved to Wind Up By Liqui- dation. Probability That Deposits Will be Paid in Full. Just as we went to press, shortly before 4 p. m., the Board of Directors of the Exchange Bank resolved to go into liquidation. Mr. Dwight Durkee is the President of the institu- tion, and Mr. E. C. Breck, cashier, The capital paid up is $250,000. The amount of deposits about $600,000. It is claimed trat the deposi- tors will receive whateveris due in full, but the stockholders, it is said, will probably lose from fifty to sixty per cent of their stock. ‘The liquidation is said to be entirely due to a desire to avoid dangerin the future, and nottoan absolute necersity. Tbe Exchange Bank was chartered in 1856, with a capital of $500,000, and, besides Mr. Dwight Durkee and Mr. Breck, the pres- ent board consists of B. W. Lewis, Jr., Geo. I, Foster, Wm. Mitchel, Th . Bartholow, Abraham Davis, John B. Grayand Edward Whittacker. The members of the board refused to give any information whatever upon the subject, when asked by the re- porters. But there is no ao ubt whatever that the fact remains as we stated: The Exchange Bank will cease to exist. It has resolved to go into liquidation. And it will probably pay every dollar of the deposits. A Case of Fever from Morgan City. By Western Assoc‘ated Press. NEW ORLEANS, Julv 29.—No new cases. re- ported in the city to-day.

Offerings of grain paper continue large, both shipping bills and for carrying, while of flour and miscellaneous produce there were fair to good lines. Exchange is dull and stili nominal. Currency orders from the country were liberal, while orders made on the East were steady and large. Nearly every- thing on the street was dull, except govern: ments, which werein brisk "request. In New York the principal attraction was the active demand for granger stocks, values of which continue to strengthen. WILSON, Money ana Stocas ov Telegraph. New YorK.
