[From the Memphis Avalanche. ] The Sabbath day dawned upon Memphis with darkened skies, and the streets presented a deserted and melancholy appearance that seemed to impress itself upon the few who passed by, walking languidly and aimlessly, as if they had no particul ir objective point. What cun be likened to a gloomy Sunday when a pestilence 1s carrying death and woe to the householas of acity?

[From the Memphis Appeal. | Unless rigorous measures are undertaken to prevent a recurrence of the yellow tever plague, Memphis is doomed. With our pres- ent situation, coupled with the recollections of the epidemic ot 1878 before us, with their inevitable effect all the material interests of the ci'y, it is patent that the appearance of a single «ase of yellow fever appearing in our midst .n cripple our commerce und depreciate all v .iues to an cx- tent that ten years of uninterr ipted healih and prosperity cannot repair. At least 30,000 baies of cotton belonging to Memphis were shipped to St. Lovis during the prevalence of the fever nothing of the immense trade was diverted from us and carried to other cities. The fall trade is by far the heaviest of the whoie year, and this must necessarily be crippled or destroyed by an epidemic, or even afew cases of fever... With sueh a prospect ahead, what merchant wouid embark his capi- tual in business here? And those who are already interested here would prefer to re- move, even ata sacrifice, to some other point where epidemics are not known. The com- merce of Memphisis her sole dependence; it is, as is were, the vital principle of her being— real estate and all other interests are subD- servient to and dependent upon it. Commerce is the Atlas that sustains all elise upon its shoulders. Let this support be weakened, and the city must fall. What, then, istheremedy? The answer is found in the manifest origin ot the yellow fever now raging inourmidst. Itis betterto lay out five per cent of the whole value of the capital and prop- erty in Memphis than risk the loss occasioned by one case of vellow tever. The _ histo- ry of the present month has shown that the fever can originate in our midst; and, with this light before us, if we risk another outbreak of the disease, the blame wili be ours and we will not deserve the sympathy ot the outside world. With a liberal and thorough system of sanitationand a rigid quarantine at the mouth of the Mississippi River under the control of the National Gov- ernment, Memphis can bid defiance to yellow fever and speedily become the great commer- cial city for which nature intended her. alone last fall, Killing Themselves With Medicine. A firm ot druggists write to the Memphis Ap- peal to protest against this irrational and pro- miscuous use Of medicines, which they sav they have had ample opportunities of observ- ing within the past tew days. ‘‘People,’’ they say, ‘‘who are pertectly well, seen determined to disturb and tear their or- ganisms with patent medical agents, under the delusion that they are preventives of sick- ness. Many literally gorge themselves with such powerful drugs as calomel, bluemass, quinine, etc., with the view of ‘acting on the liver,’’ ‘and are surprised if they find their di- gestion, the most important fanction of the human body, out of order Seer: afterwards, in spite oft emselves.’’ The Situation in New Orleans. {From the New Orieans Times. } In accordance with the promise which the Times made to its readers, and to the public, that we would promptly give information of the appearance of any case of yellow fever in New Orleans, we published yesterday after- noon an account of the case of a young Italian girl who died of that diseaso yesterday mdorna- ing. ‘The details are given column.

Julius Scales (colored) ,ja native of Mississip- pi, aged thirty-five years, and who was staying at712 Wash street, is the first fatal case of yellow fever bere outside of quarantine.

Yesterday Hans Alston, a Swede who has been here from Memphis for nine days, was sent to Quarantine as a ‘‘suspicious’’ case. He resided at 1207 North Sixteenth street. This morning the premises were thoroughly disin- fected. Another suspicious case is that of Wm. Mar- tin, who was residing at 702 Broadway. Dr. Renick visited the man to-day and found him delirious. The man said he came from Daven- port, but the neighbors asserted that he came from Memp bis nearly three weeks ago. Dr. Renick at once sent the man to the City Hospitalinan ambulance.

Martin will be held at the City Hospital until the symptoms are more decided. — Pestilence Spots. St. Lous, July 31. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The Sanitary Department of the city of St. Louis seems to be very much interested in the care of the Quurantine Hospital;so much so that it finds no time left to attend to its duty in the city. Ifere in St. Louis we have not so much cause to fear the yellow fever, but we have cause to guard ourselves against other sicknesses; for instance, cholera and small-pox, and still there ale places in this city where filthy water is al- lowed to stand in this hot weather for weeks in the open streets, One ot these spots isonthe corner of Broad- way and Chambers stieets, where the Vorwuerts Turnhalle is now located. Une or two men could mend this ina few hours, but, although two reports have been sentin tothe Health Commissioner, nothing has been done.

The town of Cork is—on account of the sweet associa- tions connected with the name—the favorite place of debarkation with the Knights; here they are accustomed to land, here they seek the national restorative after sea-sickness, and here they are received by the Lord Mayor and Corporetion, the High Sheriff, the nobility asd gentry with that recognition which Ireland always accords togenius. But the Irish mind, while gener- ous to a fault, is in its temper suspicious, and the very closeness and intimacy of the relations between the Knights of St. Patrick and Cork will inevitably lead to the suspicion that the offending coleopter, whose appearance is announced by cable, was brought over by one of the knights in the pocket of his linen duster. It would be worth while to call a meeting of the order to repel this insinuation and to vindicate the unsullied reputation of a body of patri- otic and eloquent men whom two countries hail with admiration and claim with pride. THE NEW DEMOCRACY. One of the best evidences of the liberal and progressive spirit of the American De- mocracy of to-day is*the wise and open manner in which it receives, recognizes and rewards new acquisitions regardless of former political strifes. Itis astonishing how many of the most prominent minds and leaders of the De- mecracy were foremost among Republican leaders some years ago. In the great State of New York the pres- ent able Governor, Lucius Robinson, was elected as the regular Democratic candi- date, though he had for many years been a Republican leader, and was elected by them to a State office. The Democratic Lieuten- ant Governor, Mr. Dorsheimer, was also a Republican until 1872, holding an important office under an-appointment of Mr. Lincoln. In Ohio Mr. Ewing, the present Demo- cratic candidate for Governor, was origi- nally a Whig, and for years after the. war even a radical Republican. Mr. Ashley, of Toledo, for ten years a Republican member of Congress, Judge Hoadley one of the ablest Republican lawyers in the State, General Morgan, Lew Campbell, Gen. Durbin Ward, are all now in the Democratic ranks. In Indiana George W. Julian, who was the first Republican candidate for the Vice- .Presidency and a Republican member of Congress for many years, is now a good Democrat. In Illinois the three most Democrats are David Davis, Lyman Trum- bull and ex-Governor John M. Palmer, all originally among the founders of the Re- prominent publican party. In our own State there is certainly not a more conspicuous nor an abler champion of Democratic principles or Denfocratic success than B. Gratz Brown. In Pennsylvania the Democrats elected, at the last election, as a regular and relia- ble Democrat, no less a person than Gov. Curtin—one of the ablest of the Governors. And even in Massachusetts, prominent Democrat—who Charles F. Adams? It is this open-handed and open-armed spirit of true Democracy which accounts for the unprecedented growth of the party from. the miserable minority it was ten years ago to the great ruling majority party of the nation which it has been since 1874, and as whichit is as sure to grow and grow in the future as it has grown in the past. Revolutions do not go backward. ex- war the most is he but FUTILE PIETY. The failure of the crops in England, in consequence of the continued rain and cold weather, is an event to be especially re- gretted, because, more than three weeks ago, the Archbishop ef Canterbury issued instructions to the people of Kng- This is a official land to pray for good weather. measure Which is resorted to only in ex- treme cases, and when all other means of Yet, if we may judge by the results, even the official securing a harvest have failed. prayers offered up under the patronage of the Primate of all England have been insuf- ficient to alter the laws of nature, and there is every reason to believe that the weather has been, in every respect, just what it would have been if the Archbishop of Can- terbury had not interfered. Judged by the test of fact, the attempt to influence the weather by prayer is a failure, but, from the standpoint of true religion, it If the weather was not improved, we are very is something worse than a failure. certain that it was not injured by the inter- ested supplications sent up regarding it; but a failure of the prayers which did not hurt the harvest could not but hurt the re- ligious instincts of those who were misled into making an ineffectual bid for Divine favor, and in raising an issue with Provi- dence about the of the weather. Protestant England looks down with con- tempt on superstitious Naples, where the management course of the seasons and the way of the weather is supposed to be determined by the liquefaction of the blood of St. Janua- rius, and where shrines and altars are cov- ered with ex-voto offerings, which attest the belief in a interposition in individual necessities. But the Neapolitan sailor who blasphemes his God in fine weather, and vows a wax candle or asilver candlestick in every storm that threatens, is, though vastly more ignorant, very little more superstitious than the sanc- timonious Briton, who consents to be pious only when there is a danger of losing his money, and who, for the chance of profit, will offer up prayers that would never be uttered through any higher motive. We have no intention of reviving -the in- terminable question of the ‘‘prayer gauge,”’ and still less of speaking lightly of reli- gion. We respect every religious convic- tion which is entitled to respect, but there is neither conviction nor religion in prayers offered up by those whose only motive is a sordid one, and who, when they have laid aside the garb of a flimsy hypoerisy, are willing to admit, that they know the futility of such ve The cause of true reljgien is in- | 5 Sg ra es , Sere 2 a sok ta Die divine ee Y =n 24 , ; te rene © SECO CRANES Reape RPI HS . a Bas eee ; may i he obs jured and obstructed by such | the cowardly superstitior days, and itis dévoutly to be this last ragged remmant of an obsc ly will soon be ashapsd to flaunt it fore the eyes of = wiser and more er ened world. pa **THE FRUITS OF THE WAR.’’ One of the most general battle cries of Republican leaders and journals is this: ‘‘The precious fruits of the war—they must be preserved against the resistance of the rebel Democracy.’’ But really, who does resist and assail the ‘fruits of the war?’? What are these fruits? The preservation of the Union. The preservation of free institutions throughout the Union. The preservation of one great undivided nation under one perfectly equal govern- ment and Constitutior to all. Now, who resists these fruits of the war? The Union i& preserved, it is true. But, if the Republicans had their old power in Congress, they would, no doubt, resolve upon another era of military or bayonet Nothing but their lack of power saves the Union from a practical de- The position rests upon the idea that the South is Jit itself, is not the equal North, but should governed Republican party with the The very appeals fora ‘Solid North,’”’ against rule in the South. struction to-day. whole Republican not to govern of the loyal be by the iron hand of force. national harmony and for sectional strife, are all predicated upon the idea that there Sshalland must be no peace, no real union, no real equal self-government. Who, then, resists the fruits of the war? Who tried, and still tries, to wreck free institutions by Returning Boards, seven to eight commissions, bayonets and marshals at the polls, immense corruption funds for elections, and fraud generally? Who holds that this must not be one govy- ernmentand one nationality, but practically two—a solid South and a solid North—with different measures of right, who but the Republicans? Who would kick the South with all its representatives out of Congress and out of the Union in a minute if it had the power? Who deplores the fact of a real restora- tion of the Union and the presence of the South in Congress more than the Republi- cans? What ‘‘fruit of the war’’ is there that the Democrats have not universally aquiesced in? What resistance Republican isthere that does not come from partisanship and fury? SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

That is the question of supremacy now on trial, Mr. Sherman, and no amount of howling over the ghost of secession will affect the verdict. - —_— PUBLIC OPINION, oe Card From Mr. Mitche'y,,~ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch‘ The custom of discussing the private affairs of men inthe newspapers, in the sensational form of interviews, is one that would be ‘*more honored in the breach than in the ob- servance.’’ For the interviewed party is placed in the dilemma of being forced to be rude in his answer to civil questions, or mor- tified, if he answers, at seeing the most exas- perating construction put upon his words. I have no censure to cast and have cast none onany one for the failure of the negotiations whereby I was to assume editorial management of the Times-Journal. And I have made no unfriendly comments, public or private, on the result. I am the author of no reports touching schemes to buy that paper in any political interest, nor the author of any decla- ration asto the financial future of the con- cern. All I have said is, that I felt sure if I went into the office I could, with its present circulation and advertising, make it a power in the city and a pecuniary success; but that I had no desire to enter the office at the cost of iater 2al harmony; because discord within could and would end only in disappointment and disas- ter.

Facts About Manufacturing and the Couatry’s Supplies, Why St. Louis Will Continue to be Fore- most in this Line of Business. It is not generally known that St. Louis has a larger saddilery trade thanany other city in the world. This, however, is true,although itis difficult to give exact statistics of the business, owing to the fact that those engaged in it do not publish annual statements, such as are given of the grain trade, the iron trade, and otber important lines of industry. Tne saddlery trade of St. Louis probably AMOUNTS TO $3,000,000 PER ANNUM, so that it becomes at once one of the leading industries of the city. This gratifying fact is no doubt largely owing to the territory by which St. Louis is surrounded. Theolderand richer a country is, the more its inhabitants use bug- gies and carriages as a means of conveyance. In the new countries people ride on horseback. The territory supplied by St. Louis is made up mainly of the States of Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas. Ar- kansas, Kansas und Colorado, and the Indian Territory, Wyoming, Montana, Ari- zona and New Mexico. Most of these States and Territories use saddlery to a very large extent, as, in many of them, such atbing asa buggy is seldom used. Go, tor instance, toone ot the country churches in Arkansas or Texas, or even in Missouri, on Sunday, and see how the people come up to ‘‘the house of the Lorac.’’ A very large majority of them, whether male or female, come on horsevack. A spring wagon is considered a luxury, anda common farm wagon is good enough tor a manuand hisfamily. The stylish young men and ladies prefer to ride on the back ot A GAY AND FESTIVE 8TEED. Here horseback riding comes natural, were, for it is indulged from the earliest day ot childhood. The whole neighborhood is a riding-school, and every man Or woman a riding-master or mis- tress. The youth who cannot mount a wild inule or unbroken Spanish mustang, and ride him to church alongside his no less daring in- amorata, is not considered a ‘‘thoroughbred.’’ In Texas and the Territories horse- back-riding is developed to its highest degree of excellerce and popularity. In Montana itis nothing unusual to see a sad- dle worth $100, oreven more. Here a saddle becomes more necessary to a man than a house, for he lives moreinthe former than in the latter. And in Texas or Colorado the cow- boy, who works for $10 a month, or even less, will spend half his year’s wages for a saddle. The Mexicans are great lovers of horseback- riding, and the principal trade St. Louis and the United States has with Mexico is in suddiery. Th € saddlery trade has been the following FIRMS AND INDIVIDUALS: Meyer, Bannerman & Co., Haydens & Allen, J. B. Sickles & Co., Jacob Strauss & Co., P. J. Peters, Burns & Degnan, J. U. Marshall, Roth- & Co. and A. @& H. Heide- man. These houses all stand high in the commercial community, anditisa remarkable fact that there have been fewer failures among men engagedin the saddicry trade here thanin any other line of business ot similar extent. The total number ot men employed in the business hereis about S00,0f which nuinber Meyer, Bannerman & Co., whodoa very large manufacturing business, empioy about 2u0. One of the best indications of THE HEALTHFULNESS OF THIS INDUSTRY in St. Louis e tact that the workmen en- gaged in § manutacturing establish- ments get # wages. A first-class hand can make $25 a week, while an ordinary one can as it in eonducted by ban but his | ) how | of niake trom $12 to $18 aweek. These are good wages for these times, when it is considered men are paid in other kinds business. A cooper, for instance, makes only from $5 to $7 50 a week, and raiiroad men do but little better. Printers make on an average $12 to $15 a weck, and inany a good newspaper reporter works for $20 a week. In this connection may be mentioned an incident in the life of poor Officer Printz, who was shot by Sanders some time ago. Printz was Ht saddlemaker by trade, and some vears ugo was workiug tor one ofthe manufacturing establishwents of this city. He was an excellent hand and made good wages, but grew dissatisfied and joined ina strike for still better pay. Being a man ot rore than ordinary good iooks and ability, he | by splendid : Louis Pants became asort of leuder. He wus discharged by the proprietors, and soon obtained a posi- tion on the _ pvlice force, where he remained up to the time of his death. The manufacture ot saddlery is a very pretty business, bauthas greatly changed since the war, owing to the introduction of sewing ma- chines and other kinds of machinery. Before the war it took a good man ’ HALF A WEEK TO MAKE A LADY'S SADDLE, whereas he can now make a dozen inthat time, Of course some parts of the work require a con- siderable amount of dexterity. To every saddle exceptthe pads and a few fancy varieties, there is whatis called a ‘‘tree.’’ Thisis gen- erally made ot wood, andis cut out of a solid block. Elmisthe variety generaily used, on account of its lightness and durability. Much ofthis partof the manufacturing for the St. Louis trade is done at the Jefferson City Peni- tentiary. After the **trees’”’ are cut out and ready their coating of raw -hide, they very much like the primitive saddles used by the Indians of the plains. The raw-hide, which is put on while itis wet and soft, soon becomes dry and bard, and gives the tree a very neat appear- ance. Itis then ready for the usual append- ages, which consist mainly of leather finished in many different styles. The foliowing list of names illustrate the varieties manufactured one of the leading establishments of this city: ‘°Still,’’ ‘‘Austin,’’ ‘‘Alvis,°’ ‘‘san Marcos,’’ ‘‘San Antonio,’’ ‘‘Lockhart,’’ ‘‘Drover,’’ ‘*Rose,’’ ‘*Vesike,’’ ‘‘Mark West,’’ ‘‘Mexican,’’ ‘‘Morgun,’’ ‘‘Muly Mor- gan,’’ **Kilgour’’ and ‘* kentucky Kilgour.’’ Take a ‘‘Still’’ saddle, tor instance. I is made for the Montanuatrade, and is very elabo- rite in its finisb. The tree 1s made of heavy wood or iron, and =looks to be large cnough to break down an ordinary horse. The leather used is of the thickest and heavi- est veriety, and is soaked in neats-toot oil be- fore being used. It is also ELABORATELY ORNAMENTED with all kinds of impressed curves, lines and figures. The under side, that goes next tothe horse’s back, is lined with fine lamb skin, and is as soft as velvet. This, at least, is one humane provision that the rough riders of that far off country demand. Thestir- rups are of wood and are covercd over in front with huge leather protectors. The back skirts are set Off with Angora goat skins with long hair on them or bear skins. When a ‘‘Still’’ saddle is put on alittle Mexican mustang, it is much more attractive thaa the little animal that carries it. What an odd figure such a saddle would cut in old England, where theré is 80 nach attention given to fancy borses and fancy equestrianism. Jne saddles made for the Texas trade are of a milder type, as it were, but they too are very heavy and some of them are quite elaborate and costly, while those made for the Missouri trade are light and mostly ‘'English’’ or ‘*Mulies.’’ PRICES OF SADDLERY have greatly changed since the war, being fully 50 per cent lower now thanthey were in 1865. All the materials usedin manutacturing have gone down wonderfully. The hardware used has depreciated fitty or seventy-five per cent., and leatheris also much cheaper. Be- sides this the introduction of Ina- chinery has had a& tendency to reduce prices even lower than they were before the war. Thena fair ladies’ saddle would cost $12; now a good one can be bought for $3 50. The prices of suaddies now range elithe way from $1 65 to $250, but the latter price is a fancy one and exists more in name tban reality. The average price is about $10. With the increasing railroad facil- ities the saddlery. trade ot St. Lonis will continue to extend untilit will amount to many millions of dollars more than it now does, and still OUTSTRIP THE BUSINESS done in the same line in other cities. At pres- ent Louisvilleis probably the greatest cem- petitor St. Louis has, Cincinnati coming next, and then New York. Thisis one thing in which St. Louis leaves Chicago very tar behind. In fact Chicago has but one house of any conse- quenee, and ber market can not be considered a competitor of that furnished by S8t. Louis.

After transacting some business of minor im- portance, Mr. Thomas Kennedy was awarded the contract for supplying the schools with coal as required during the next scholastic year. Mr. Kennedy’s bid was 6% cents per bushel. All the janitors were reappointed. F. W. Knaack was appointed for the Eighth Street School. After some routine business the meeting adjourned. Deputy Marshal Dumphy arrested a yourg man named James O’Rourke this morning on suspicion. When searched at the station a re- volver and a razor were found on his person. He told Marshal Renshaw that he was on bis way home to Caseyville, after har- vesting. When asked where he pur- chased the revolver, he said that near Beardstown there was a man called **helly, the Kid Trainer,’’ who with his gang robbed the returning harvester. In case of any resistance Kelly invariably cut or beat the victim, and to protect himself against this man he bought the revolver. Marshal Ren- shaw listened to the story and locked O’ Rourke up until his taie could be verified. - — Wanted— An Electric Bug Devour er, [From the New York Sun. ] When Edison was talking about running his electric wires through the gas pipes of the city, some onc asked him how he would putthe wiresinside of the pipes. ‘‘I would make a mechanical bug,’’ he said, ‘‘that would crawl through the pipe and draw the wire af- ter it,’’ and within a tew davs he exhibited such an automaton in working order. His success in the manufacture ofthis particular kind of bug suggests the possibility of nis in- venting a mechanical bug that shall be capa- ble of chasing, catching, und devouring the myriads or bues that are attracted by the electric light burned on thetrontofthbe sun building. On Thursday last the utmost ex- ertion was required to prevent the Sun trom being several minutes lute in going to press. This wus necessitated by the presence ot innumerable beetles in the room where the forms are madeup. They poured into the open windows like raindrops—a shower ot pugs. The light that attracted them from the City Hall Park dazed them when they came close to it, and manyof those that did nat plunge headlong into the glowof intense hea: struck on the imposing stones and on the galleys oftype. There they tumbied around ina most ludicrous manner, hke bugs de- prived of nstinct. In making up the forms it was necessary to brush the veetles from the type before lifting it, and to brush them from the stone before setting down the type. On every succeeding night when the electric light has been displayed from the same place the shower of bugs has occurred. The invention of a mechanical bug that shall roost on the window siilsand putto flight all manner of natural bugs that are attracted bythe electric light is anxiously awaited. - — MISSOURI POLITICS. Early Gossip Concerning Men and Things Throughout the State. Carthage, Jasper county. Patriot: Senator Vest delivered a speech at Sweet Springs. We’ll warrant it was a good speech. Cass County Times: Geo. G. Vest, the big- gest little maninthe United States, spoke at Sweet Springs last week on the political issues of the day. Farmington Times: The Charleston Sentinel saysit hasit from pretty reliable authority that Hon.Thomas Holliday will not be a candi- date for Governor, but is desirous of a renomi- nation for the office he has filled tor the past five yeas. Linneus, Linn county, Bullatine: The La Grange Democrat is tor Cockrell as his own successor. The Democrat is right. Policy might dictate some other name, but Cockrell has made a faithful public servant, and should be returned. Warrensburg Journal-Democrat: Hon. Mar- shall Arnold of Scott county is favorably men- tioned in connection with the office of Attor- ney-General. Also Hon. T. P. Bashaw of Mon- roe county. Either of the gentlemen would fill the office creditably. Liberty (Clay county) Tribune: Senator Vest is credited with saying that Tilden will never receive another Democratic nOmination for President. Hethinks Thurman is the strongest man and stands the best chance for the nomin- ation. We differ with the Senator. jTilden will either be nominated or name the man that will be. Carroll County Journal: Senator Cockrell is said to be the best presiding officer in the United States Senate. He has occupied the chair more times this session than any other member except Thurman, the president. Cock- rell presided during the stormy night when Lamar and Conkling had their round of harsh words. Huntsville Heraid: Through the kindness of our friend W.H. Williams, we were permitted to read a letter from Senator George G. Vest, in which he bighly compliments our distin- guished fellow-citizen and Congressman, G. F. Rothwell. He says Fiankis a Democrat of the right stripe, always laboring in the inter- ests of bis constituents and in defense of true Democratic nrinciples. While this is a high encomium to the moral worth and integrity of Mr. Rothwell, wefully endorse it, and have ever felt certain that as a Congressman he would fill the full measure of his most zealous friends and adwirers. Howard County Advertiser: Who is John Walker, of Howard? Has he any politics? If so. what? Is hea Radical, or a Greenbacker, ora Democrat? We notice that some call him Judge Walker, others call him Hon. John Walker. Who will tell us what we want to know? — [Chariton Courter, For the information of the Courier, who seems at such a loss to know the distinguished gentleman, we shall attempt to answer his queries. Mr. Walker is anativeof Howard County, a genticman anda scholar, a Demo- crat ef the truest type, and a farmer by pro- fession. He at onetime represented Howard in the Missouri Legislature, and was consider- ed one of the ablest members of that body. More recently he served the Statein the capa- city of Railroad Commissioner, to which posi- tion he was appointed by Gov. C. H. Hardin. His name is John Walker, but heix sometimes called Judge, and sometimes the Honorable is prefixed to his name. — ee — Our Champagne Crop.

Peculiarities of Santa Fe, the Oldest Settled Town in the United States. The Famous Silter Mining Districts— Placer Mines. Special Correspondence ef the Post-Dispatch. SANTA FE, N. M., July 24.—A visit to New Mexico cannot fail to be of absorbing interest, even to an ordinary observer. Her almost un- limited agricultural and mineral resources,her grand and picturesque mountain scenery, her antiquities, and her salubrious and bracing climate, all combine to increase our interest as we prolong our visit. The history and tra- ditions of the quaint old town from which I write aloneare of sufficient interest to com- pensate forthe long journey hither. Doubt- less many of your readers are now somewhat familiar with the history of the Territory, as, since the advent of the railroad, many repre- sentatives of the Eastern and Western press have visited and writcen of the wonderful country. Yet a few observations from me may not prove uninteresting. The town of Santa. Fe has a wpopulation of about 6.500, and is located on both sides of Santa Fe Creek, a small stream having its source in the mountains twelve miles to the east and running westerly tuurteen miles into the Rio Grande River. From the stream the fields and gardens in the town and valiey around are irrigated for culti- vation, the whole volume of water being di- verted into the acequias, or irrigating canals, during theirrigating season. In order that the supply of water, which at times is limited,may be equally or justly distributed, the people elect annually a Mayor-Domo, or overseer; but the wily Mexican, like his brother office-hold- er of the States, is frequently charged with dli- verting supplies into illegitimate channels. Water for drinking purposes is obtained from wells, and an abundant supply can be had by digging almost anywhere in thetown toa depth of from twenty tothirty feet. The resi- dences and other buildings are almost univer- sally of the Mexican style, built of adobe (a sun-dried brick), one story high, and are said to be warm in winter and cool in summer (the latter virtue I will cheerfully confirm). The town, as seen from any of the fine,natural elevations as we approached it, looked more like a large collection of burning brick kilns than anything else we could think of, the materials of which the houses were constructed being of exactly the same color as the soil on which they stand, the process of curing not having changed the color in the least. A visit of a few days has effectually wiped out the unfavorable impres- sions that took possession of us as we entered for the first time the quaint old place. How- ever uninviting the queer-looking dwelling houses may appear from an extenor view, on entering those occupiea by the leading Ameri- can and Mexican families, a striking and pleas- ing contrast is noticeable; the rooms are large and well lighted and ventilated, and have un air of comfort and refinement that would bear comparison with our best St. Louis houses. THE SOCIETY OF SANTA FE is excellent; the presence always of the mili- tary officers and their wives and daughters give ita tone which, of course, it would not otherwise possess. It is now claimed that this is the oldest settled town in the United States, and tradition and records seem to justify the assumption. The various wars between the Pueblo Indians—who first built and occupied a town here—and the Spaniards and Mexicans, are of Jocal interest mainly, sol will not enter into a recital of their vicissitudes. The de- ecendants and representatives of these ancient Indians can be seen almost any day on tne streets of the town driving along their patient littie burros or donkeys, laden with the prod- ucts of their peaceful agricultural pursuits, the whole presenting a picture extremely ygro- tesque. The principal business houses,vanks, hotels and Government offices are located on and face the Plaza. Onthe north side of this public square, is located the historic old Pal- ace, now the Governor’s man- sion, but, on account. of repairs that have been made upon itfrom time to time, it retains little of its antique appearance; in fact, would not now attract special attention by its genera! outward appeurunce. In this o)d bouse are said to have lived and ruled the Spanish Captains General and Mexican Gov- ernors, from a period early inthe seventeenth century down to the advent of the government of tbe United States, and documents now in the office of the Territorial Secretary recite many things concerning the conquest and re- conquest of Santa Fe by the Spaniards and In- dians which seem almost incredible. When afew days ago, however, your correspondent and a friend called to pay their respects to His Excelleney Gov. Lew Wallace, at his officein the Palace, we did not findtne aathor of ‘‘The Fair God’’ engaged in planning an Indian war or considering measures of defense against a foreign foe, as was the wont of Governors of old. Not by any means; the arbitrary and des- potic exercise of power, never authorized by law or justice, and never requisite for tne purposes of government, has long since passed away torever, and now peace and tranquility reign within the oid walls; andifthere now*be any Fernando De Alvas anxious to ‘‘rescue from oblivion’’ the many representatives of their race in this broad territory, let them availthemselves of the present opportunity and step tothe front. Governor Wallace re- ceived us with great cordiality, and was en- thusiastic concerning the future oa of New Mexico. Heseemsto be doing all in his power to administer law and justice and to en- courage the rapid settlement and development of the country. The present limited revenues ofthe Territory necessarily cause much em- barrassmentto officials, and in many cases render the proper enforcement of the laws im- possible. fe may be possible to convict men of the crimes with which they are charged, but it is a notorious fact that the jails,almost without exception, are wholly insecure, and have no terrors for evil-doers. Men charged with the highest crimes known to law are many of them only nominally in the hands of the Sheriff or Juilor. Asan illustration of this, a circumstance is referred to by Chief Justice Prince, whenever opportunity offers, as » good joke on Gov. Wallace. One morning, not long since. as His Excellency was quietiy sitting in his office, a gentile knock was heard at his door, and en being bidden a man entered, who, with much ceremony, exchanged the compli- ments of the day, and then took aseat at the polite request of the Governor; then, in the most matter-of-fact and confident manner, the man proceeded to explain the object of bis call. As he progressea, the Governor was hor- rified at discovering in the individual before him amancharged with a most brutal and cowardly murder, and with whose case he was perfectly familiar. It appears the criminal had served all but six months of a light sen- tence, and thinking his punishment for merely killing a fellow being had been sufficient, he qnictly walked out of jail into the Governor’s presence, and request ed—almost demanded—tbat the remainder of the sentence be remitted. That THE REQUEST was refused in language very emphatic, and the man ordered into custody, is a matter of record. I am glad to report, however, that criminals will be better looked after in future, as arrangements have recently been made whereby all under sentences for a longer time than two years will be confined in the penitea- tiary at Omaha, Nebraska. The introduction of one ormore railroads will soon work wonderful changes in New Mex- ico. Already, as you know, the Atchison, Topeka ana Santa Fe branch is completed to Las Vegas, and work is being pushed forward so rapidly that Santa Fe expects to join hands with the world by the first of January next. The antiquated old town, although somewhat excited over the prospeet, seems to have no conception of its importance. After resting a few days, your correspondent paid a visit to the now famous Los Cerrillos sil- ver mining district, twenty two miles south of this place. Much bas been said and written about these mines during the past few months, but 1 do not think their value has been exag- gerated, notwithstanding the many visionary and romantic ‘*Jenkinses’’ that have hastily visited and written aboutthem. This mining region is not a new one, as within sight of the camps—distant only four or five miles—are the old placer gold mines, where mining was Car- ried on extensively and with immense profit over a hundred and fitty years ago. About these placer mines history and tradition have much to say. The principal business of the Spaniards then was that of mining, and many of them are said to have amassed immense fortunes. Ot course, it was al) profit in those days, as they forced the Indians into slavery and compelled them to do ali the hard work of the mines. In time, however, there was a general uprising among the In- dians, and the Spaniads were driven out of the country. This is said to have ended Spanish mining in this part of the country, as the na- tives positively refused to allow them to return except on the condition thatthey should agree by solemn compact not to reopen the mines or again attempt to reduce them (the Indians) to slavery. This the Spaniards agreed to, but the natives, well knowing their inordinate desire for wealth wasthe cause of former cruel op- pressions, determinea to conceal the valuabie mines by filling them up and destroying, as far as possible, every trace of theme This, it ts said, was so effectually done that succeeding generations of Spaniards were never able to discover them again. It is believed by the Spanish population here that the Puebio In- dians are, up totbe present day, acquainted with the locality of many of these “wonderful mines, but nothing can persuade them to divulge the secret. It is said the old mep ana sages of the Puebios regularly lecture the vouths on the subject, reciting to them the cruoities inflicted on t ancestors, and which, they say, will surely be renewed to- wards themseives if the secretis Bag tae - ieee os * 2 ee , : Pe ce eae.) my ad pe? ©.) Be Rie ® not preserved. aoe dag «har sey mines are Congress. In view ot developments now being made near their property, the stockholders.of this com- pany—the majority of wnom reside in the East —are about to realize handsomely on their investment. My purpose being to speak more particularly of the Oerrillos mines, however, I will now go back to the morning when, accompanied by ex-Attorney- General T. F. Conway and thiee ladies of Santa Fe, Isetouton my long desired visit to the region of gold and silver. Having made all our preparations the day before, we were enabled to get off early inthe morning, and with two good borses to our carriage and an excellent road before us, we were not long in reaching the first mountain, fifteen miles away. No man or wowan who has been accustomed to the heat, sinoke and dust of St. Louis would fail ® grow enthusiastic here. Theclear Italian sky and the TRANSPARENT. PURE AND BRACING AIR make the very act of breathing a pleasure. lt is not surprising, then, that when we reached the summit of one of the highest mountains I made no attempt to suppress my feelings of wonder and admiration on viewing the grand panorama of mountain and valley that extend- ed as fur as the eye could reach. The scenery near us was striking and tull of effective con- trasts, but time and space will not justity a de- scription. In due time we reached ‘‘camp,’’ and after doing justice to an excellent lunch supplied by the ladies ot our party, we started under the guidance ot an experienced miner to explore the mines. We found large number-~ of prospectors at work and with such reauilts as | have excited the whole community almost to > frenzy, and convinced the people that anothe: E! Dorado awaits adventurous capital. In the two districts embracing the Los Cerrillos re- gion, three or four hundred claims have been staked off and about one hundred shafts aro being sunk, and one remarkable thing about these mines 1s they show mineral atthe first working, and what is more important, all the veins are true fissures; this we can assert from a persbnal examination of a large number. Such veins are said to be a guarantee of depth andthe permanency of the oresupply. Tue ore of this district embraces carbonates, sui- phurets, cblorides, galena, -quartz carrying silver and gaieva, and copper. Assays of the carbonates found on the surface run from five to ninety ounces perton. Ten feet down they runge from 20 to 200 ounces to the ton. The most extensively developed mine is the Car- bonate, owned by Surveyor-General Atkinson, Frank Dimmick of Leadville, and others, their shaft being uown to the depth of 107 feet. To this mine alleyes here are turned at present, believing that a strike will soon be made which will create 4 statnpede inthe direction of the Cerrillos that willthrow Leadville entirely in the shade. A few davs ago seven samples ta- ken from the Carbonate assayed an average of 66 1-7 ounces to the toa, and assays ot selected ranged trom 5 to 702 ounces perton. As yet no large companies bave begun workin these mines; but this isnot surprising, asthe dis- coveries were made only about three months ago. A number of capitalists are now here, however, making a thorough examination of some mines with aview of investing. What the country wants is capital, and her mineral resources will never be developed without it. It is no place at present for a poor man, and any such who come here with the expectation of getting work will be disappointed. Little work will be done inthe mines until reduction works are erected, as it is useless to take out large quantities of ore with no means of reduc- ing it. Probably by the first of January next the trains of the Atchison, Topeka and Sunta Fe Railroad will be running at the very foot of the Cerrillos, forever settling the question of transportation; and alreadv the company has unnounced that it will carry to St. Louis free one ton of ore trom each mine to be assayei(i—a very liberal a gaa indeed. The climate of New exico is the finest in the world for mining, as it can be carried on the year round without interruption. Theonly serious drawback to mining at present is scarcity of water, but, when developments shall justify it, capital will soon utilize various methods for introducing an abundant sunplv. Much pieased with our first visittothe Cerrillos. and firm in the Delief that less than a year hence nota few bo- nanzas will there De opened to the world,* we bade adieu to the ‘‘camp’’ and returned to the capital city to enjoy fora few days lonyer its pleasant society and cooling breezes.

ty Ri eee _) A JEALOUS HUSBAND'S FATE. | Killed by His Suspected Wife While Threatening Her Life. Her Statement—Seven Months a Bride and Only Eighteen Years Old. [From the New York Herald ] HAGERSTOWN, MD., July 28.—The fact that a young wife had deliberately shot her husband at Sharpsburg yesterday became known here this morning by the arrival of the laay, Mrs. Ida Estelle Benner, in custody of Constable J. R. Poffenberger, and her lodg- ment in jail. A Coroner’s jury yesterday found that her husband came to his death by a gunshot wound produced with a gun in her hands. The scene of the tragedy was the lodge- keeper’s residence at the Antietam National Cemetery, which is located on the celebrated battle field, just outside the town of Sharps- burg, twelve miles from here. Here Mrs. Benner and her deceased husband, Thomas H. Benner, who was employed in assisting to keep the cemetery in order. resided with the keeper; Lieut. Geo. A. Haverfield, as their boarder. Several times recently Benner, who was of a very jealous disposition, has quarrel- ed with his wife about the Lieutenant, and she in consequence avoided his society as much as possible. THREATENING HER LIFE. On Saturday night Benner came home with the Lieutenant shortly before 12 0’clock and went to the room where his wife was sleeping. He did not, however, go to bed, for when his wife came down in the morning between 7:30 and 8 o’clock. she found him lying on the floorin the back room, with all the doors open. He at once commenced quarreling with her. accusing her of being unfaithful to him with the Lieutenant, saying that he would make her confess and if she would not he would kill her. Hethen went into the kitchen and returned with a sharpened case kuife and a piece of wood about two and a half feet long. DONE IN SELF-DEFENSE. With the knife uplifted he advanced on his wife, threatening again to kill her. She deaied having anything to tell and retreated toa corner in which there was a carbine, loaded by Benner a short time previously for the pur- pose of killing a dog. Picking this up, she warned him to go away as she would defend herself, and as he continued to advance she discharged the gun. The load entered his left breast, above the heart, making a large hole, the skin being burnt by the powder and one of the arteries leading tothe heart being severed. Benner turned at once, with the blood streaming from him, and stu bled through the doorways until near the treat door, where he fell dead. A YOUNG COUPLE. After the coroner’s inquest Mrs. Benner was taken into custody, buton account of her delicate situation was not brought to Hagers- town until this morning. She and her late husband were married on the Ist of December last. having run away from home on account of the opposition of her parents to her union with him. Hewas about twenty-four vears of age and she is about eighteen. An _ effort was made this morning, after her arrival here, to have her released on bail. Her counsel, Colonel H. Kyd Douglas, obtained a writ of habeas corpus and she was brought before Judge Motter, but the State’s Attorney, Mr. Edward Stake, not having learned anvthing of the matter until this morning, the examin- ation was deferred until two o’clock on Wednesday, toenable him to ascertain the facts in regard tothe shooting and summon witnesses. STATEMENT OF THE HOMICIDE. Mrs. Benner, ia the meantime, has been given by the Sheriffa room in his dwelling at the jail, and is very calm. She has put on mourning for her husband, who was buried this afternoon at Sharpsburg, and says she loved him devotedly, but could not sacrifice her life to his jealous hate. She is a small woman, with dark hair and eyes, dark com- plexion, a prominent forehead, well shaped nose, full lips and protruding chin. The con- tour of the face of her husband indicates strength of will and resoluteness of purpose. > —— A RIDE FOR LIFE. —__—— Terrible Experience of a Family in a Forest Fire. {From the Pottsville Miners’ Journal. } Between eight and nine o’clock one evening last week, Robert C. Uffner, his wife anda daughter, twelve years of age. left Frackville for Shenandoah in an ordinary farm wagon, drawn by two horses. After driving a short distance, Mr. Uffner, on looking ahead a half und that it-was Mrs.. Ronalds, ‘ tainly the lady in question has been taking a conspicuous ition in London societyjof late. The Prince of Wales is a great admirer of American ladies, and you may have observed that he stood sponsor for Mrs. Paget’s infant the other day—a proof of his great regard for husband and wife. Altogether there were near a thousand persons present at this gar- den party, and Lady Holland must have re- joiced in the temporary revival of the glories of her house, still standing secure amid its fine gardens and venerable park, although the imitation-Elizabethan villa of the modern builder is pressing it close upon every side, and the day is not perhaps far distant when the dwelling in which Addison died will be doomed to be swallowed up by this all-de- vouring monster of London. oIodeo -— THE AGING FLIRT. Hardships and Woes of the Once Adored and Fading Belle. {From London Mayfair. } She was supreme five yearsago. But five years have told upon her complexion and her beauty, while the young men who adored her are young men still, and woo her little chit of a sister, who seems to her only fit for the gov- erness and the children’s dinner. The retro- spect is not pleasant. She thinks of time wasted, of honest hearts toyed with, embit- tered, rejected. She has seen, one by one, pretty girls of not half her beauty or style reaped and garnered by the proper hus- bandmen. And now she stands out rejected, abandoned and in the cold. The retrospect is not pleasant. But how about the prospect? It is sadder still. There is the gay music, the bright rooms, the polish- ed floors. Still her name figures on the invi- tation cards, though she knows that she is asked not for her own but for her sister’s sake. She might indeed give up the game and retire with the dignity of years. But the dignity of years is an indignity for her. She can not take the hint of the period or read the handwriting with which Time autographs her brow. She still haunts the bright scenes—a sorry sight. Superannuated beaux and timid striplings fall to her lot. It begins to become very dreary. Still she trips it on a toe which perhaps never was fantastic and has certainly long since ceased to be light. Whatever may be her faults, no one can deny that she has courage and perseverance. People would almost wish that she had neither. For the world is a selfish world, and people who give dances like to see fresh faces and lovely fig- ures in the ball-room. Here is the third stage of the life of the flirt. Itisnota pleas- ant picture to look at. Itis not—except from the moralizing cynic’s point of view—an agreeable object to contemplate. Quick! let us dismiss the company. Let our guests hur- ry home. The dawn comes breaking through the windows. The musicians are tired.’ The waterman has let his lamps out. The bright sun is in the heavens. And here comes the pretty, fresh young girl, her face beaming with the roses of youth and health, and it may be love, to thank her kind hostess forapleasant evening. The old flirt takes charge of the little creature that London so- ciety wil] soon turn into a young flirt. The admiring beaux escort both down to their car- riage door and the coachman drives home by the park. The blackbirds are piping loudly in Kensington Gardens. The market-garden- ers are reposing on flat forms of cabbages and salads that the sleepy horses are me- chanically draggins to the great mart at Co- vent Garden. lt is just another ball got through, but the season is at its height, and there are many more to follow. Perhaps the elder sister might give one word of advice to the younger, and warn her before it is too late of the fate of a iaded flirt. ; —— ie WHAT HURT BURGLAR DOBBS. Digging Out One of the Many Bullets That Have Been Fired Into Him. {From the New York San. } ‘‘Something pains me here,’’ said John Dobbs, the alleged Manhattan Bank burglar, to his keeper at the city prison yesterday morning. ‘*Where?’’ ‘*Here,’’ said Dobbs, indicating the fleshy part of his left arm between the shoulder and elbow. The keeper put his finger on the spot and, pressing, felt something hard and round. The outside skin was very dark and tender, and Dobbs winced as the turnkey applied his thumb to it. Dr. William L. Hardy, the prison phvsician, was sent for and told to bring bis case of instruments. The physi- cian, Who is accustomed to the eccentricities of prisoners, examined the dark spot careful- ly. He became convinced that Dobbs was not joking nor giving him a *‘ghost story,’’ and, producing a sharp-bladed little instrument from his case, he went quietly to work. In about a minute and a half the doctor drew back, and a pistol bullet with three rings around it rolled into his hand. ‘*Why, where did you get this, Dobba?’’ asked Warden Finn in surprise. The War- den had just come up, and was looking at the bullet as it layin the doctor’s palm. SENTIMENT ON THE SANDS. We wandered away from the crowd, The blare of the noisy band, By the loving lips of the ocean, Over the golden sand ; Talking ridiculous nonsense, Inspecting posterous shells, Flotsam and jetsam, various, With singular maritime smells. A bottle, a barrel, some seaweed, Some muscular bivalve agape, The remains of ¢heir edibie persons Shriveied and dried out of shape; Past children interring each other In jocular tomoplets of sand, Digging, and delving, and laughing, A mnerry, sepulchral band. ‘*Might I smoke?’’ ‘‘ Asa matter of course.’’ She liked the smell ot the weed; A light from the son of the soil, And back with impetuous speed. She was poised in a pensive pose As I noiselessly neared her stand, And 1 saw that she wrote, with her parasol, Lines on the golden sand. Mv heart it pattea my ribs; She’s writing, no doubt, on the sly, The name that pleases her best— ‘*My own, I'll be bound,’’ thought I. Over her shoulder I peeped— Over her ruffling coillurs. On the sand she’d scrawled: $100,000. —| Harper’s Bazar. - —S MME. JUDIC. The Most Beautiful Woman on the French Stage. '({From the London World, July 16.] Judic is perhaps the most beautiful woman on the French stage. Her large dark orbs, clear olive complexion, and hair of a lustrous, though not a shining black, all gifts of her Spanish ancestry, make her a perfect type. Her straight nose and the pure oval of her face form a fitting complement to the cata- logue of charms. She is Juno or a soubrette at will, having every capacity for varied expression in the resources of that wonderful counten- ance. For the Queen of Heaven she has ouly to make the most of the classic line of cheek and brow: for the waiting-maid of earth to turn inthe mischief in the eyes. Her man- ner of private life explains the secret of her success in public. Having 80 much beauty, she has a right to be proud, yet she is all amiability and unaffected good humor. In tne gayety of her laugh she is as one of her own children. Ought the revelation to be made tbat she bas children old enough to serve for the comparisoa? Certainly not, un- less one adds this extenuating circumstance— that she was but a_ child of seven- teen herself when M. Judic made her his wife. She is but a big child still. Offenbach caught her peculiar characteristic in saying ‘‘willful- ness.’’ She laughs not to please vou, but to please herself, and, of course, never fails of the double effect. The whole secret of her artis in the fact that she carries this spirit into the business of the scene. Her stage life is simply a continuation of her home life, in regaid, at least, to her peculiar gifts of inter- pretation. Other actresses bring the manner of the stage tothe home; this one takes the manner of home tothe stage. There is all the difference in the world between the two methods. The first is the worst art, the last is nature; and it will be found to contain the principle of the highest effects in all kinds of public appearance whatsoever. The greatest orator in England is the man who talks on the platform as he talks at his own dinner-table— John Bright. A winning frankness belongs to this charac- ter, and Judic has it. Her talk is delightfully free from conventions: the unexpected is al- ways happening in her replies. You ask her if sbe isnot cloyed with her nightly feast of public favor; perhaps not without a thought of giving her the opportunity to air acommon affectation—the disdain of th2 applauded for applause. ‘*Notatall.’’ she will tell you; ‘*itis my breath of life.’’ ‘*But you have breathed it so often.’’ ‘*‘And would you bave me to try to live without air for a change?’’ The same directness is found,to the confusion of all little schemes of international compliment on the part of tha ques- tioner, when sheis asked if she likes Eng- land as much as Englard likes her. She shrugs her shoulders, a sufficiently strong negative forthe French. ‘‘It rained so! [ dare say the English could not help it; but O, how itrained! It used to make mecry. I could not help it. No. I used to cry for nothing all day long, just like the skies.’’ ‘*How were those to guess it, Madame, who saw you only in*Mariee depuis Midi’ at night? We who went to the Princess’s thought you lived on laughter, and you must have thought the same of us.’’ ‘*Oh, no; the English are very serious, even at the play. Why, when they come to see mein Paris, they bring books of the piece, just as if they were going to follow a service. I shall miss that general flutter at the turn of the leaf when they shall go away. It raises po a wind in the house; and when I feel it, scamper on with the part for the malicious pleasure of leaving them behind. Shameful to treat one’s kindest friends in that way, is it not?’’ ‘*Perhaps you were not well looked af- terin London? Comfort tells on happiness there more than anywhere else in the world.’’ **It was all along of a mistake, sir,’’ said mile or so, saw that the woods were on fire on both sides of the read, but as the timber was small and the undergrowth light hought be would be able to vet through without much difficulty. When he entered the burning district the wind seem- ed to increase, and the fire moved with such 2mazing 5 mag he could hardly keep pace with it. After driving through the fire three ror four hundred yards, thesmoke became so dense that the travelers were almost suffocat- ed, and a few seconds later were compelled to lie down in the bed of the wagon to prevent being smothered. The smoke so blinded Mr. Uffner that he could hardly see the road. and. consequently,, he allowed the horses to go along pretty § much as they pleased. A half mile was traversed in this way, when the smoke suddenly cleared away and the flames on either side of the road increased in strength so rapidly that they al- most roasted the now thoroughly frightened travelers. Seeing that, if they aid not escape very soon, the entire party would be burned | to death, Mr. Uffner tried to urge the horses toa gallop, but the poor animals were so frightened that they hardly moved and, last, came to a standstill and began backing off the road. Fearing that the wagon would be pushed into the) fire. Mr. Uffner juinped out and, taking the horses by the bits, man- aged to quiet them; until he found a good, stout stick. Then, ordering hi: wife to take the reins, he proceeded to belabor the horses utitil they struck a gallop and dashed along the read Into fhe very heart of the fire. Uffner suceeeded in clam)ering into the wagon as the horses ran,and taking the lines from hi« wife urged them on at the top of his voice. This race was continued over the rough moun- tain road for several hondred yards, with th: flames roaring on both sides and myriads of sparks falling in and atvoutthe wagon. Mrs. Uffner’s dress caught fire. and her husband dropped the rejns to assist her in ex- tinguishing it, when she,fainted in his arms. While he war endeavoring to bring his wife back to consciousness the horses were tearing along at breakneck speed, and the wavon sv.erved, jolted and swung around in any- thing buta comfortable manner. Mrs. lU ff- ner became conscious ina few seconds, how- ever, and just then her husband saw a cloud of dense black smoke enveloping the road.and knew thattbey had reached the outskirts of the fire and were safe. A quarter of a mile more and their dangerous journey had ended, and their foaming horses were pulled up and slowed a breathing spell. The travelers were all slightly hurned, but fortu- nately escaped without receiving any serious injuries. Some idea of the terrible heat thev passed through may be had, when it is stated that the paint on the wagon was burned en- tirely off, and the horses’ hair was scorched in hundreds of places by the clouds of sparks that fell upon them. On the same day the omnibus that earries passengers from Frack- ville to Shenandoah ran the gauntlet. and the driver was severely scorched, but at that time the fire was not as widespread as when Mr. Uffner passed through it.

They are as _ follows: 8 men; Georges Cropper, Auson avenues, streets, and Geyer avenue, 5 men; tween Alien and Russell street. It was reported by a member chis morning at the regular meeting that eight car loads of bar- rels had been shipped to this city to be sold to millers. the belief was expressed that there was truthbin the report, and a committee was finally appointed to call at the general depots and find out from what point the cargo was shipped’and to appeal to the coopers of that place to pre- vent further shipments until the strike inst. Louis shall have been ended. It was stated that several pe rsons, unanthor- ized to do so, were Canvassin x the city for sub- scriptions for niding the coope rs’ strike. These individuals are frauds, and a resolution passed requesting that no money be given to collectors who were not provided witha regular printed blankon which was stamped the seal ot the coopers’ union.

An Important Sutin the United States Cir- cuit Court. The United States District Attorney, Mr. Bliss, has filed a bill in equity against the Mis- souri Pacific Railway Company, Uriel Murdock, Luther A. Clark, Edwin D. Morgan, Joseph Scligman, Rutus J. Lackland, Dwight Dur- kee, Jesse Seligman, James Baker, the National Trust Company of city of New York and other defendants. Tie ground taken as a cause of action is that the Missouri Pacitic Company issued a certain number of bonds, guaranteed by mortgages of the Pacific Road The Collector of Internal Revenue was not notified, as he should have been, and thus, ac- cording to the statute, the road became liable, not alone tor the taxes which should have been collected, but tor the penalties also. A suit was brought some time ago for these same taxes, Dut afterrunning the gaanutlet of the practice, was dropped without prejudice; hence this suit. The effect of this bill, if suecceasful, will be to cause a lien to issue against the estate of the Missouri Pacific Railroad for about one hun red and twenty-five thousand dollars. The bill recites the four mortgages by the Pa cifie Railroad and the number of bonds which were issued and not returned to the coliector. 7 The Dinsbeer Divorce. Charlotte Dinsbeer says she John G.

There came very near being some blood shed in the dining-room of the Planters’ Lieuse Tuesday evening, over the celebrated Smith- Sterling affair, which had created so profound a sensation in the Criminal Court the same day. Mr. Charles F. Joy, who had been one of the attorneys tor the State in the trial of Smith tor assault on Mrs. Sterling, was taking supper with Mr. A.N. Sterling, the husband of the lady who made so narrow an escape from the murderous hands of the ruffian Smith. Unfortunately who knows Joy does not know George W.

As he passed out he stopped to speak to Mr. JOy and ask how the motion for & new trial had resulted. Mr. Man- ning did not know Mr. Sterling and proceeded his mouth freely ouncera- ing the features of ‘‘the celebrated cuse.’’ ‘*L think they are rather too hard on Smith,’’ Aman came to me to-day witha ‘round robin’ raising money to reopen the trial and give Smith a chance.’’ This struck Mr. Sterling very forcibly, and-he rose up with fight in his calling Mr. Manning some very hard hniuimes, ‘Hold on, Mr.Sterling,’’ said the ever pleas. ant Joy, this is Mr. Manning.’’ ‘Oh yes,isthis Mr. Steriing?’’ said Man- ning. ‘Lam glad to meet you, and was only joking.’’ But Sterling was mad, and he SEIZED MANNING by the back of the neck and was about to pro- cced to give him a good shaking, when the bead wuiter and all the other waiters ran up and restored peace. As it resulted nobody was hurt, Mr, Manning only huving a shirt collar soiled. A reporter called on Mr. Joy to get the facts in the case as he understood them. Mr. Joy suid the fracas amounted to nothing, that Mr. Manning was rather careless in a re- murk he made, andthat Mr. Sterling took ot- fense at it, but that nobody was hurt and no damage was donc.
