Itis just the complete and practical manual that has long been needed by horse owners. It 1s written by a well known Veterinary Surgeon of great experience, so that no matter of :mmportance relating to the Horse is omitted. It 1s invaluable when horses are attacked with diseases requiring prompt attention, and in districts remote from Veterinary Surgeons, because it enavies avy one to doctor their own horses. It gives the best rules for telling the age of a horse, with a fine engraving showing the appearance of the teeth at each year. Also much other INFORMATION of great value toevery horse owner. Actually worth as much as other Horse Books costing from five to ten dollars, but condensed so as to give all that is necessary to know and sent by mail post-paid on receipt of the price, 50 centa, or & copies to one address for $1, either in stamps or money.

It has 35 engravings illustrating positions assumed by sick horses, and we would not exchange it for any book on the horse and his diseases that we have ever seen, and we have read some books of the kind that cost ten dollars.’”’ If space would allow we could'give hundreds of testimonials in its favor.

Three large buildings on Hoffman Island are ready for patients should the disease increase. ST. LOUIS SANITARY NOTES. Through the City. The yellow fever scare, which at one time had assumed corsiderabie proportions in this city, has died down to a very small apprehen- sion. Suspicious cases, which some days ago were most plentiful, have apparently alto- gether ceased. The most notable effect on the town has been the decline in all the markets depending on the Southern demand as the outlet of their busi- ness. Provisions, especially, have gone down to »bed-rock figures, and in reality for the last few days there bas Leen no market at all. While feeling that the city bas no cause for alarm, the authorities are relaxing no effort to make the sanitary condition of the town as perfect as possible, and an increased force of men are cleaning the alleys and streets where any nuisances are found. Complaints of nuisancts are coming in much more frequentiy than heretofore, as the peo- ple seem to be awake to the necessities of the case and to want to let no nuisance go unabat- ed. At the Dispensary. Nothing disturbed the serenity of the doctors in charge ofthe City Dispensary beyond the autics of a drunken woman who craved physic of apy sort on general principles,and denonne- ed the syetem that wouldn’t give a ; ya pe per oe eat] ee ee a ae ers ta Rome een ee bi tie “ } } i | | | this nuisance to the neignborhood, | tention of the Board of Public Improvements | | } | ' | been distributed | ; |; S10 absclute | ness by lack of means. | creased subscriptions, saving that if thing, Ww their eyes.

Captain Keiser, ot the Anchor Line, stated to a POST-DISPATCH reporter that .as soon as he could gather freight cnough to load a barge he would send one down by one ot the regular packets, and let it be cast off at Memphis. At present there is only forty-five tons of Mem- phis freight in the city. ‘‘When will you send a boat to Memphis?’’ queried the reporter. ‘‘Justas soon asthey want one. The Belle Memphis is ready to go now, but they couldn’t give her a load.’’ ‘*Don’t you find it difficult to ship officers and crew for the Memphis triv?’’ ‘*No, indeed.

His yoluntary surrender as soon as he had provided his bail looks very much like a sarcasm on the detective skill and ingenuity which had been enlisted in the search for him, and which proposed to bring him back at any cost. It ought to be added in Goldsoll’s favor that while his absence has been utilized to make him a scapegoat, there is no one who believes that his in- debtedness to the bank amounts to the enormous sum claimed by the directors and officers. If his indebtedness is nearer $30,000 than $300,000, a very interesting question is raised anew, as to who got the bank’s money. THE reported increase in the public debt for July is accounted for to the extent of half a million of dollars by the payment of that amount to Captain Eads on the jetty contract, and this explains Sherman’s hos- tility to Eads and his constant and repeated obstructions in the way of the jetty pay- ments. In the interest of his own candi- dacy for the Presidency, Sherman has been anxious to make a good showing of the Treasury business and to claim credit for every possible reduction in the public debt. This was the motive lying behind his oppo- sition and behind the abuse and misrepre- sentation indulged in by his organ, the Cin- cinnati Commercial. It was not the good of the country, nor even the efficient man- agement of ihe Treasury Department, that Shermau had at heart, but simply the inter- ests of his own personal candidacy, and for the sake of this he was willing to op- pose and obstruct an improvement that benefited millions in the Mississippi Valley. The people ought to thank him for it. A CHANCE FOR ST. LOUIS. The Post-Dispatcu yesterday published a list of the leading Memphis firms who had ‘been compelled by the epidemic in Memphis to settle in St. Louis. Whether their es- tablishment here will be permanent or only temporary may depend very largely ou the way they are treated, and we need hardly urge the importance of giving them wel- come and offering them every inducement toremain. If they are met with jealousy and opposition, if advantage is taken of their necessity to ‘‘gouge’’ them, they will of St. Louis weather will probably shake the dust from their feet as soon as the permit of their return to Memphis, and the places that know them now will know them no more forever. If on the contrary St. Louis can satisfy them that they can have here all the advant- ages of business and society that Memphis offers, and many that Memphis does not possess, there is no reason why we should not keep every one of our welcome visitors. We have heard many complaints from prop- erty owners of low rents. We trust that the Memphis refugees will have no difficulty in getting the lowest rents in the market, as Louis it would be to the advantage of St. to house them rent free until they were It would be to be with firmly settled in their places. the their policy in banks rood in dealings such liberal them in accommodations as business legitimately needs, and, above all, it is important that the railroad officials of St. Louis should appreciate the situa- tion, and offer the Memphis merchants every inducement in the way of low freights, prompt shipments, and other incentives to continuance of custom. The occasion will give a fair opportunity of testing the kind of stuff St. Louis is made of. Thus far, our city and our people bave taken no notice whatever of an acces- sion to our business circles that may be worth millions of dollars to the city. Our visitors, perhaps, may easily dispense with any public or official recognition of their coming, and ask nothing more than to be treated fairly. But if we fail to keep them here as permanent additions to our business, that St. Louis is not it will be an indication unfit to because it has sense enough to take advantage of golden oppor- tunities that lie close at hand. cTOWw MANNERS. We have already noticed the testimony given by a correspondent of the New York Sun to the high standard of courtesy among the men of Denver. One would not expect to find manners mending as one travels westward, but it is the uniform tes- timony of all travelers competent to judge of sucha question, that traveling west- ward they have met witha steady increase in that true courtesy which shows itself in respect for women, in hospitality to stran- gers, in consideration for the weak and un- protected, and in kindly, unselfish feeling to all. In Boston, which is the focus of American civilization, gentlemen univer- sally allow women to stand in the horse- cars; in St. Leuis, if any gentleman keeps his seat in a horse-car, while a lady stands, he is probably a Bostonian. A situation which would expose a lady to insult in St. Louis would claim for her the protection of every man in sight in Denver. In Virginia City they have never lynched a man for in- sulting a woman, simply because no man has ever invited death by such a crime. But if it is true that the higher standard of courtesy gains in proportion to the dis- tance from the old established centers of social culture, is it not a reflection on civil- ization? Is it not a proof that as a country becomes more highly civilized it loses that politeness which should be rarest fruit of the richest culture? And is not this a para- dox—a contradiction in terms? It is certainly enough of a contradiction to lend an interest to its investigation, and the first step leads to another contradiction. While travelers starting from the level of polished society in Western Europe find courtesy more general as they travel west- ward, they who travel eastward also find finer manners as _ they go. The manners , of Austria and Hun- gary are better .than the manners of France and England, and again the Arab chief has the finest manners in the world, according to high authority, unless, indeed, it be among the high-caste Hindoos, while the perfection of the etiquette of social in- tercourse is to be found in good society in China and Japan. Evidently there are manners and man- ners, The politeness of the West is not the same thing as the politeness of the rated as the countries where they prevail. Which is the perfect courtesy—if either? The courtesy of the Nevada miner, who would rather cut his hand off than insult a woman, does not extend to his intercourse with the sterner sex. He is prone to elevate his boots on the table under your nose, or to use a large-bladed penknife on his finger- nails as an ordinary accompaniment to conversation, and this we need hardly say is very bad manners. No true gentleman will take advantage of an enforced proximity to compel another gentleman to smell his boots, and the sense of courtesy must be very faint which does not teach that the work of repairs and excavations on one’s finger-nails should de carried on in the seclusion of solitude. On the other hand, the mandarin, who would not omit a single one of the minutest precepts of a rigid cer- emonial, is brutal in his contempt for woman and flendish in his cruelty to man. His polished exterior hides the heart of a gam- bler and the conscience of a pirate, and his civilization is worse than barbarism. The inference seems to be that that perfec- tion of courtesy which unites the utmost re- finement of manners with the chivalrous in- stincts of the heart does not exist, and the world is probably further from realizing it than it was five hundred years ago. It is doubtful whether the world will ever again approach to that high standard of courtesy which was aimed at in the education of knight in the days chiv- alry. The essence of true courtesy, as of true religion, is the subordination of self through love of others, and the teach- ing of modern civilization is an enlightened self-interest—undoubtedly profitable from the point of view of the political economist, but not promising either to.the cause of manners or morals. The of the East have reached their fullness, and a true of civilizations are sinking into decay; there is no hope for them. Let cherish the though equally imperfect, courtesy of the West. Berlin prevail in Denver and Virginia City, last of that true us ruder, For, when the manners of Paris or we shall have seen the courtesy, Which will leave nothing to re- place it. PUBLIC OPINION. A Sensible View. ST. Louis, July 31, 1879. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Can you not devise a way to effectually ‘*squelch’’ the ‘*dead beats’’ that are ever planning trips to Europe at the public ex- pense? To succeed in this would confer on the public a veritable and lasting benefit worthy of vour utmost ingenuity. Every ‘*‘cheeky,’’ impecunious fellow who vearns for a trip abroad at somebody else’s expense conceives the idea of palming bimself off ona generous but too confiding public, either as an ertist in embryo, lacking but the quicken- ing influence of Dusseldorf or Munich to de- velop him into a Da Vinci, or a great political economist, holding the destiny of the nation in the palm of his hand, and even omnipotent to turn the normal stream of commerce up hill. These fellows are nuisances of the first water, and like vermin should be extermin- ated. They almost invariably disgrace the nation, C. A Good Word for Francis. St. Louis, August 2, 1879. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Suspend public opinion as to the report of the grand jury relative tothe charges against C. W. Francis. I have made diligent inquiry as to the con- dition of C. W. Francis. while he was at Quarantine on the occasion of the visit of the grand jury, and have been informed by three gentlemen, in whom I have great confidence, that Mr. Francis Was not under the influence of liquor when the grand jury visited Quarantine. These three gentleman unite in saying that he was over-worked and had not slept for two nights, and was sick and completely worn out.

Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: And now Doctor Commussioner ery, of the Board of Health, to the front and forbids thefresh air excursion (the boat), passing Quar- antine Station with the poor and sick chil- dren. Was ever before such an asinine or- der issued by a Board of Health? The steam- er employed to carry the children, as every- body knows, in passing down the river would not go within half a mile of Quarantine Station and would not come in cantact with any othersteamboat. It must be presumed from the action of the Board of Health that yellow fever is either contagious or infectious, or both, and that its poison may be wafted from place to place by the breezes of heaven. Ifsuchis their opinion, they had better stop the winds from blowing at once, and then yellow fever would not spread, but be preserved, condensed and intact, at Quar- antine. On the theory of the Board of Health, who can tell but a breeze that passes over Quarantine may reach the city and carry yellow fever and death with it? The harbor-boat is allowed to pass daily between Quarantine and the city without ‘‘fumigation,’’ except in the sense the grand jury was fumigated at Quarantine a few days since. The Board’s prescription, ‘*What will you take?’’ no doubt saved the grand jury, and they were allowed to re- turn to the city. Itrust that the benevolent citizens engaged in the Fresh Air Mission will pay no attention to the foolish order in question. And it is not out of place to suggest that the Board of Health, individually and collectively, may render themselves practically useful by boarding the steamer Chouteau and assist in fumigating the 3,000 children on board; not with whisky, but with soap and water.

It is Larger than That of Any Other City in America, Something of the Character and Extent of the Business, Where the Stock Comes Fre Where it Goes, St. Louis is not accustomed to do any very great amount ot pretentious blowing. St. Lonis does not blow as much as the village on the border, knewn as Kansas City, and as to any comparison with Chicago, it would be simply preposterous. by reading the venal press of the latter city one would be led to suppose that St. Louis was yet a muddyFrench village full of dullness, contagion and death. It would be supposed that herinhabitants were wvoverty- stricken, her storehouses empty, her streets deserted and her industries dying out, and even her great Mississippi drying up or changing into a bayou for frogs and alligutors. The people of Chicago are no doubt always struck with amazement —whenever they are compelled to pass this way—to discover that this city still really ex- ists. They have had it wiped out(in their minds) so often bv the Chicago papers, that whem they do come here and actually find a littie brick and mortar left, and meet a pedestrian now and then, they are greatly dumb- founded and hasten back to their elysium to have their impressions gent- ly removed by additional doses of newspaper opium. It is only when the census-taker comes around and the gatherer of the statistics makes his report that St. Louis receives her due credit. It is gratifying to know that this credit is founded on actual facts and not on future expectations and treacherous soap bubbles. It has already been shown that St. Louis is the leading saddlery market,not only of the United States, butof the whole world. It has also been shown that St. Louis is the third largest lumber market in the world, although a thousand miles from the regions where most of the lumber comes from, and now it is stated that St.Louis is the largest horse and miule market in the world, and that the State of Missouri produces every year more horses and mules than any five other States in the Union. It is probably not generally known that buy- ers trom almost every civilized country on the globe are now making purchases inthis mar- ket. This, however, is trae, and the street cars Lon- don are now being drawn bv mules bought in St. Louis and shipped across the ocean. The horseand mule trade of this city sustains a very important re- lation to its wealth and prosperity. EXTENT OF THE BUSINESS. There pass through this market annually about 45,000 horses and mules. They will av- erage $100 in value, that the total trade amounts to $4,500,000. This is $1,500,000 more than the saddlery trade, and $500,000 than the Jumber trade. But, while this is fa large amount tor any business to reach, it is remarkable that it employs buta small number of men. There ure not over 165 men employed by all the deal- ers ofSt. Louis. The lumbertrade gives em- ploymentto 3,000 and the saddlery trade to about 1,000. The expense of handling horses and mules does not consist in the number of men employed. ‘iwe or three good bands can manage a drove of 100 mules worth $10,vV00. Reilly & Wolfort, who do a business of over $1,500,000 a year, do not eu:ploy over 40 men altogether. Most other lines of business involv- ing sO much capital give employment to from five to ten times as many people. The expen- ses of handling horses and mules are in anoth- er directi.n. The wholesale dealers of St. Louis pay out at least $300,000 per annum for feed. This consists mostly of corn, oats and hay. The hayis mostly all purchased in loose form fromthe farmers of St. Louis county, whose wagons can be seen by the dozen every day inthe vicinity of Broadway and Cass avenue. By reason otf the ready sale of hay the raising of it in the vicinity of St. Louis bas become a most profitable business. Corn tor the wholesale stables is also purchased trom the farmers in the vicinity of the city. Most of it comes trom the Illinois River bottom and is delivered inthe ear, it being worth in that shape for feeding purposes several cents u bushel more than shelled corn. Oats are purchased from grain dealers in the city, and are nearly always ted in the shelled form. It will be seen, then, that the horse and muletrade of St. Louis involvesa of SO less | very large amount of money and that St. Louis and the surrounding agricultural community derive a very large income therefrom. This, of course, isentirely outside of the advantages dcrived from the livery stables, private parties and small dealers. THE DEALERS. The following arethe reputable dealers ot St. Louis: Reilly & Wolfort, Albert Schulherr, Crosswhile & Patton (feeders), McPike & Johnson, Maher & Isaacs, Maxwell Bros., Crouch & Sons, Thos. Fahey, Jr. These firms all buy and sell, except Cross- white & Patton, who are feeders, according to the legitimate methods of the business, and they are as far removed from the swindling ‘‘horse sharks’’ as George Washington was from Captain Kidd, the pirate. Messrs. Schul- herr, McPike & Johnson, Maher & Isaacs, Max- well Bros., Crouch & Sons.,and Fahey, Jr., do not make purchases outright, but take stock to sell for country shippers and make ad- vances. Reilly & Wolfort make absolute pur- chases, using their own capital exclu- sively. They are the heaviest dealers in the United States and do a large exporting business. Horses and mules are shipped here by the country dealers, who buy .directiy from the farmers. Frequently a farmer will have nearly a carload of his own stock and will make up ashipment by purchases from his neigh- bors. When the horses and mules are brought here, they are either taken to some of the commission stables or to the feeding stable of Crosswhite & Patton and offered for saie. Sometimes they are sold immediately on arrival, and sometimes are kept here a week or more,but the average time that stock remains here, passing from the hands of the country shipper through the desler to the final purchaser, istourdays. The net cost of keeping horses here is twenty-five cents a head _ day, and eighteen cents a day per head for muies. PRICES. The depreciation of realestate has been no greater since the war than the fall in the prices of marketable hurses and mules. In 1864 and 1865it was no uncommon thing to sell a pair of mules tor $500 in the country, and many pairs sold for $600. In St. Louis there were sales made as high as $1,200 a pair, and dealers here often aid $500 for a match mule. Ordinary 10rses did not range so high. Farmers, however, often solid good working horses for $150 and $175. These ex- traordinhry figures came frointhe flush times and the heavy demands oftheGovernment. If the war had continued two years longer prices of good horses and mules would have become simply fabulous. For three years the prices of ordinary horses have been very low, but good fair mules have never ceased to command good figures. Youcau goon the market here now and geta good plug of a horse for $50, and, otf course, the farmer from whom he is bought in the country gets much less for him. Fair, light horses for ordinary work bring trom $70 to $80. The street car compa- nies are heavy buyers, and pay from $50 to $80 for horses. Heavy draught horses,such as brewers use, bring from $125 to $175 apiece. Fancy driving horses bring all the way from $200 to $600. The latter priceis about the highest price ever paid for a horse on the reg- ular market. One Worth more than that is gen- erally used for racing purposes,' and is soid through private parties if heissola at all. Mules range in price all the way trom $70 to $200. Those that go to the South generally seilfor $90 to $100. Tose tor export bring better figures. The Western trade demands a good class of mules, but the highes? prices are = for those used in the cities, and esptaial. y in St. Louis. It is nouncommon thing to seé apairof mules on Main street worth $400, ana for which that amount was paid in cash. lot of mules sold on this market only a few days ago to Wolfort& Reilly for $175 a head and the same firm often make sales to private darties in the city at $200 a head. There isa slight incre in the prices of horses and mules, and the market willno doubt improve with the gradual advance in values ot all kinds. WHERE THE HORSES AND MULES COME FROM. As already stated, Missouri produces more horses and mules ¢évery year than any five otner States inthe Union. The largest supply, theretore, comes from near home. Illinois comes next to Missouri in production forthe . gas market, and then — Tnese three and mules ened in States.

The derpand for horses and mules in the Seuth has been very great for many years, owing to the fact that but few are raised there. Mules are used mostly in the cultivation ot cot- ton and sugar, and horses are wanted for indi- vidualand family purposes. During the war andtor some years afterwards the southern trade fell off very greatly, but it is now reviv- ing, and the demand is now growing stronger. In former tines it was the cus- tom to take horses and mules to the South in droves, and there were numbers of traders throughout Missouri who made it their exclusive business. Some of these grew quite wealthy,for there was then a fine profit gener- ally to be made. Now sucha thing as taking a horse over land to Louisiana or Mississippi is not dreamed of, for it bas been found to ve much cheaper and safer to ship on cars or steamboats. There are now no buyers for the South scattered through the country as before the war, but the whole trade has bcen transferred to st. Louis. Planters coms to this market and purchase stock for them- Selves and their neighbors. They generally select a medium class of horses or mules, sel- dom buying the best or the worst. The South- ern trade wili no doubt constantly increase with the growth of the cotton-raisins interests, and St. Louis will certainiy continue to be the poiut of supply. , THE WESTERN TRADE. Before the building of the Union Pacific Rail- road and other lines throughout the West, there was a very pressing demand for mules from transportation companies. They paid high prices for stock and fortunes were made by dealers who bought for them. It was no uneommon thingforadealer to get an order for 100 mules, for the pur- chasing of which he was allowed $10 a head clear of expense, thus clearing $1,000 witb a very small amount of labor. The discovery of new gold and silver mines at Leadville and the San Juan country has re- newed the Western mule trade, and the effect of it has been very plainly teltin the St. Louis market for some time past. During the opres- ent season there has been a _ continuous stream of freight-wagons from Webster, Colorado to Leadville, and most of the teams used are purchased in St. Louis. None but good mules are wanted forthe West- ern trade and the prices paid are $100 and up- wards. THE FOREIGN TRADE. The exporting of horses and mules to foreign countries from St. Louis is of recent origin. Reilly & Wolfort were the pioneers in the business and commenced only four years ago. It was found to be cheaper to export mules directly trom a great central market like St. Louis, than from a sea board city like New York. Last year this city sup- plied London witb 2,000 mules, and the West Indies with 7,000. Medium class mules that sell here for $80 or $90 are now being used ex- tensivelyin London by the street car com- panies. It costs about $40 to take a mule from here to England, so that good animals can be delivered by St. Louis firmins in the streets of London at a cost of $150 per head. It has been onlya short time Sincethe English Government sent to this country for a large number of mules tor army service, and while most ofthem were secured in hentucky, they could have been purchased cheeperin St. Louis. The foreign horse and muletrade of St. Louis is in fa most prosperous condition, and will soon become an immense business. THE HOME TRADE. The city of St. Louis does not than 8,000 head of tresh horses every year, and, of course, all of them are ob- tained from the wholesale dealers. The street car companies are very heavy purchasers. Their horses last, on an average, but five years, and they lose 20 percent of their stock per annum. brewers keep the best of horses, but work them hard, and lose 15 per cent. per annum. Transfer and omnibus companies lose about the same. Private teamsters lose probably 10 per cent. The street car companies buy tne cheapest horses sold; the transter companies, brewers and wholesale horses, the best draft horses, while the medium road horses and best light hors@aare sold to physicians and private par- ties who keep their own riding outfits. There is in St. Louis a growing demand tor good horses, and the dealers generally have no trouble in disposing ot their best stock at home. - — purchase less and mules MORNING NEWS CONDENSED.

The ships went silently down the deep river to the great sea; the flashing dome of the Capitolinthe dying sun was like a mighty fortress of famein the distance. The shadows of Arlington heights were creeping over the cabins, where women came and went in silence, and men sat smoking atthe cabin doors, while dirty children played in swarms by the water, The air was like a breath of God, and all nature seemed as sacred as rest to a weary man. A black, bent old negro woman, all patches from head to foot, trosty-headed and half blind, came crooning forth, with a broken crock, tied together, in which she had planted a flower to grow by her door. I stopped, watched her set itdownand arrange it; and then, not wishing to rudely stare at this bent, hungry old creature, I said: ‘‘Good evening, auntie. It’s a pretty evening.’’ She slowly straightened up, looked at me, looked away at the fading sunlight on the hills of Arlington, and said, softly and with her face as radiant asasaint: ‘‘Oh! it’s a pretty world, massa!’’ That old woman was & poetess, a pro- phetess. She had a soul to see the beauty, the poetry about her. ‘‘Oh! it’s a pretty world, massa!’’ She had no other form of expression ; but that was enough. Hers was the pass-word tothe heart of nature. ‘*‘Oh! it’s a pretty world, massa!’’ *‘And God saw everything that He had made, and behold it was very good.’’ When I went back to town, and mixed with my restless, ambitious, dyspeptic fellow-men af America, Ifelt perfectly certain that that old negro woman down by the river, at the door of that dirty hovel, stood nearer the steps ot the great white throne than any man among us.

Five Hundred Mysterious Seers to Visit St. Louis in October, And Fifty Triumphal Cars, Each Drawn by Twenty Horses. Ou Tuesday, the 7th of October, during Fair week, St. Louis will witness the grandest page- ant ithas ever yet beheld. Last year tne pro- cession of the mystical Veiled Prophets was acknowledged to bea magnificent sight, but this year the occult seers will far outdo their previous effort. Lately some mysterious and peculiar neetings have been held in ths city. A palm leaf fan marked with various queer devices, like Egyptian hieroglyphics, has been received by the unknown vaticinators of the Future Great. Tnis curiously wrought fanwas an emblem from the Great High Priest and Prophet himself—the veiled 1uler of the feast. In obedience to the perewp- tory summons, a solemn conclave of the propbets has been held to consider when and bow they should next deign to delight the sublunary mortals with their radiant presence. The time was fixed, and the edict went forth shat che ‘‘Mystick Crewe’’ should prepare to once more visit this mundane planet.This year the ukase demands the veiled ones to turn oust in unexampled splendor. Fiery steeds from Arabia have been sent for to draw the precious burdens, and a GORGEOUS AND LUXURIOUS DISPLAY will be voucnsafed to wondering humanity. Last night an emissary ofthe High rrophet mysteriously summoned a POST-DISPATCH re- porter,and conducted him tothe invisible hall where the seers hoid their silent meetings. The awe-stricken reporter was sworn to secresy, but he can divulge a few facts without infringing upon his solemn pledge. Splendid us was last year’s parade of the Veiled Prophets, this October they will shina fortb in greater gorgeousness thanever. Last year twenty ‘‘floats’’ were allthat they dis- played to the citizens of St. Louis, but this time there will be at least forty and probably fifty magnificent tableau triumphal chariots, each drawn by twenty luxuriantly capari- soned untamed steeds. The messen- ger of the gigantic Veiled Master hes gone forth north, east, west and south, and five hundred veiled disciples have received the command to prepare forthe annual festi- val. The invisible servants of the secret con- cluve are already busy with the plans of their masters, preparing raiment of silver and gold and decorations and trappings for the cars and horses. The parade of the Veiled Prophets will this year be far ahead of their last. The annual parade of these ghostly visitors is not a carnival, but a thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest-time, and as such must be construed. The pageant will beof immense benefit to St. Louis, and it is antici- pated that halt a million of people will be at- tracted to the city to witness the grand proces- sion. The P.-D. will keep its readers pusted us to the doings of the mysterious Veiled Prophets. - $$ —_____—___- SECRETS OF THE BOARD. The Police Commissioners Reduce the Force by Fourteen Men. Vigorous War on the Gamblers and Lottery Men Postponed Until the 18th Inst. The cutting down of the police appropria- tion, by the Municipal Assembly, has caused quite a stir among the force. This was in- creased yesterday by the publication ota re- port from the Police Commissioners strictly enforcing economy, and also dismissing some members of the forcein order to bring the expenses within the appropriation. But the Board went even further than that in its session of yesterday. It was then and there resolved to drop four- teen men fromthe pay-roll. Of these, seven men were decapitated at once, and are dis- missed the force. The remaining seven have not yet been specified, but their neads will fall in the basket shortly. Thisisthe first practi- cal step in reducing expenses. THE GAMBLERS AND LOTTERY MEN. The gamblers and lottery men, notwithstand- ing the gilt-edged missive which Col. Armstrong, the Vice-President of the Board, sent them,are still pursuing their usual avoca- tion. But there is, it appears, a methodin the miandness ot the Police Commissioners in letting them alone. The law enacted by the last Leg- islature respecting gambling and lottery does not go into effect until the 18th of August. As this act of the Legislature confers mere powers on the authorities for the suppression of these vices, the Board will permit things torunon as usual until the 18th instant. Then the promised lightning will strike, and a vigorous policy of suppression be inaugurated. Tie plan of the campaign has already been decided on, and fromthe 18th an active wartare will be waged against the gamblers and lottery dealers. -— — Jerseyville Jottings.

The editor of the Fanciers’ Journal, of Springfield, Mass., offered a reward ot $500 to the owner of any carrier-pigeon that would make a five-bundred-mile flight in less than three days. A Hoboken gentleman added $50 as a second prize, to go to the owner of the second pigeon making a similar flight. Six Antwerp carriers, all of which were raised by Jobn Van Opstai, trom the stock whieh heim- ported from Belgium in 1874, were taken last week to Columbus,Obio, and on Sunday morn- ing, at he)t-past 5 o'clock, they were let loose trom the top of a high building. Notwith- standing the early hour and the day a large crowd of people assembled around the build- ing to witness the start. The birds flew straight up until they had reached a height of one-quarter of a mile, then they flew in a southeasterly direction, but be- fore they bad disappeared from sight they changed their course to direct east, toward New York. As long us they could be seen, and the atmosphere Was very clear, they shot through the air, flying together in a small cir- cle about two feetin diameter.

If by 7 in the evening the pigeons buve not reached home they will seek resi ina tree, a shed. a house, or some other sheltered place forthe night. It is at this time they are likely to be shot or captured by some one who dves not know what they are. OUT OF THE LAND OF BONDAGE | But Not Into any Reservoir of Milk and Honey. The Exodusters in Topeka Taking their Choice Between Starvation and Shotguns. Almost daily newsis received from Kansas concerning the colured refugees, whoin their pitiful condition are blindly seeking homes and endeavoring to better themselves in aland wholly unfitted for the labor with which they have gained by alhfe experience. The mis- represenfations made to them by designing emissaries respecting the manner in which they would be received in this bor- der Stute have led hundreds of them to flock there only to repent and experience trouble worse than that known to their racein ante-bellum days. The substitution of bunger for the lash, and the natural consequence—starvation to death—has been the sequel to this exodusin a city that prides itsejf upon its rapid growthin civiliza- tion. The latest reports from Topeka go to prove thatthe Southern negroes have awak- ened fron: their dream and become aware of allits delusions. They bave discovered that the string of the latch tothe Kansas door no longer Gangies on the Outside, and the inhabitants within pay no _ attention to the pleadingrap of the colored pilzrim. The latest report from these refugees is given by James Moore, a resident of Memphis, Tenn., who has been traveling through the State of Kansas, and is now on his way to Little Rock, Ark., baving lett Topeka Thurs- day. He statesthat 300 colored retugees are huddled together under an old shed in the sub- urbs of that city, many ofthem barely clothed, surrounded with vermin, and safferimg from the resultsofinattention.

Indian Agent Appointed. By Western Associated Press. WASHINGTON, August 2.—John Q. Daffts of Iowa has been appointed Indian Agent at Union Agency in the Indian Territory. HERE IS GOLDSOLL. He Appears Before the Court of Crim- inal Correction, Gives Bond, And Returns to His Mansion on Kennett Place. He Asserts His Innocence of the Charge of Em- bezzlement, and Will Prove it at the Proper Time. The ‘“‘True Inwardness”’ of Coff’s Chase for the Alleged Bank Wrecker. How a Russian Dispatch was Sent to Texas, and Goldsoll Watched Coff. Instead of Coff Catching Him. The Goldsoll mystery thickems. It is ac- knowledged that the famed Broadway Bank borrower is intown, that there a:@ warrants out for his arrest, and yet the detectives of ‘*the finest pulice force in the world’’ have no more idea of his whereabouts than the man in the moon. Itisan apt illustration of the effi- ciency ot our police aud detective system; one that is almost as puzzling to solve as the co- nundium why Sanders, the murderer, with only fitteen ininutes’ start, should have escaped the vigilance of the supposably argus-eyed minions of the law. So much has been said about the Post- DISPATCH ‘*giving away’’ the secret of Marsbal Coff’s mission, and that had it not been for said pub- lication the astute Coff would have nabbea the ubiquitous Goldsoll, that the P.-D. proposes to enlighten the detectives und authorities gen- erally how it was that Coff didn’t catch his man. Itis now alleged that Coff was bounced by Marshal Mason for undertaking that little pleasure trip, through the influence of Gold- soli’s friends. The whole truth of the story is that the officials at the Four Courts alone are to Diame for the failure to capture the aileyerl wrecker.Why haven’t they captured him during the last week? The P.-D. has already tracked Goldsoll’s hiding-place, and is stil! ON THE TRAIL. Itcan place him within six blocks now, and, ubless the bond is furnished or the detectives find him, it will point out his place of conceal- nent to the lynx-eyed ‘‘cops.’’ Now why didn’t Coll catch cause the authorities were betrayed Coff ever left the city. The day betora Coff left for Texas armed with a requisition for Mayer Goldsoll, acertain Four Courts ‘‘shy- ster,’’ who,like others ofthat ilk,always seized an opportunity ofturning an honest penny, went to one of the ‘‘ wandering Jev's’’ friends and offered to give certain valuable informa- tion for the trifling consideration of $10. The offer was accepted, and the ‘‘shyster’’ shortly after delivered the ‘‘goods’’ he had agreed to furnish. by one of those maneuvers peculiar to the crowd of loafers and ebysters who haunt the Four Courts and its purlieus, he gained possession of all the pro- ceedings that were to be taken against Goldsoll and which were presumed to be locked up with- in the breasts of officials solemnly sworn to secrecy. He got his information, returned to Maver G.’s friend,and received a ‘‘fee’’ of $10. Golasoll was indicted, a warrant was out for his arrest, and the cleyer Coil, who tarely fail- ed to bring down his game, was to leave imme- diately for Texas. Such was the alarming intelligence conveyed to the triends of the much missed one for the trifling sum ot $10. Aconsultation was held; breakers were ubead. Goldsoll’s son-in-law telegraphed to him in Texas of Colf's intended departure. To doubly insure secrecy THE DISPATCH WAS SENT IN RUSSIAN; sothere was no probability ot its contents being betrayed. Thetelegram reached Goid- soll. He forthwith took a ticket for St. Louis, wisely judging hat to ve the best place for concealment. Disguising himself most dexterously, he boarded the north-bound train, while Coff was traveling southwerd. At one depot, where the trains met, Marshal Coff could have been seen pacing nervously the platform, anxiously counting the minutes until the iron horse would resume its sonthern journey, which was to bear wim nenrertbe object of his trip. Seated on a bench, warily watching the redoubtable ‘‘Jim,’’ was Goldsoll himself. He was ob- serving his pursuer carefully. Colt never dreamed Geoidsoll was with- in his prasp, for the latter no more resembled the well-known Mayer Goldsoll, unquhile denizen ot Poland, and re- cently the notorious merchantof st. Louis and Texas, than hedid Billy VDatterson. In fact, Goldsoll’s make-up would Lave done credit to a first-rate perfessional xctor. He was un- recognizable, Accordingly Cot! boarded the south-bound train and Goldsoll smiled blandiy as he beheld the locomotive steaming out ofthe depot. Then he took his scatin a north-bound car and was soon speccing along to St. Louis. He arrived here, lis place of concealment wes all arranged, and there be remained up to this morning. Allthe shrewd detectives were beflied by Goldsoll’s cunning. He didn’t in- tend to give himself up until he wanted to,and be has kept his word. THE BOND. One reason that Goldsol! did not emerge more quickly from his hiding spot was on account of the hitch in ovtaining bondsmen. It was diffi- cult to get responsible men to go on it. Henry Lyon promised, but then he lett town. It was rumored that Dr. O’Reiily was willing to go onthe bond, That was all a mis- take, and arose from the fact that the doctor walked into the room while the Judge and Mr. Binswanger were conversing. Nego'iations have been carried on, however, and for ‘‘a consideration’’ bondsmen have been tound, But the hitch arose here. Aithough ready to make something by going on the bond,t le par- ties wantedto be secured. They inu-t have collaterals put upto the full amount of the bail. Here wasthetrouble. Upto yesterday Goldsoll’s friends experienced trouble in rais- ing the necesgary amount of collateral. The above isthe true inwardness of Gold- soli’s evasion of Coff and his return. They are indisputable facts which cannot be denied, Dauk Goldsoll? Be- vefore — Goldsoll Surrenders. The last chapter of book second of the Gold- soll muddle was concluded at 10:55 o’clock this morning by Mayer Goldsoll coming into the Court ot Criminal Correction, delivering himself upto the authorities and being re- leased within a very tew moments on bond of $17,000, by Judge Sady. After many days of patient, unceasing toil Mr. August Binswanger, Mayer Goldsoll’s attor- ney, succeeded in arranging a satistactory bond in each of the three indict- ments of ‘‘knowingly receiving embezzied money,’’ Mr. H. M. Smit, the pawnbroker, be- coming bondsman in each instance. At nine -o’c’ock this morning Mr. Binswanger reached the Four Courts and passed upto Olerk Clab- by’s office. Shortly afterward Mr. Smit came in and pursued the same course, and at 9:30 o’clock Judge Cady arrived, ascended the stairs, and within a very few moments was closeted with Messrs. Binswanger, Smit, and Deputy Clerks Lambert and Finney. The first mode of procedure was the examination of Mr. Smit as to what amount of worldly goods he could call his own, that point being satisfactorily arranged by that gentleman swearing tothe fact that he pos- sesecd, along with other valuable property, an unencumbeied $75,000 residence on Pine street. Amply satisfied as to Mr. Smit’s ability to pay the sum ot $17,000,if it became necessary so to do. the three bonds, one of $15,000, and twoof $1,000 each ,were drawn up, Mr. Smit's si¢gna- ture attached to each, and the door thrown open to a Post-DISPATCH reporier in waiting. Then the subject of Goldsoll’s arrival, at what hour it would take place, and just how much time would be consumed in open court before he would be a free man, s0 to speak, was taken up. Mr. \ Binswanger was of the opinion that his client would arrive by 11 o’clock at any rate, and asderted, fur- thermore, that he would get into the building and give vona before the rabble wds aware of bia presence. A rush was made fbr the main entrance to the Four Courts on C PostT-DISPATCH tan was not long in taking up a position ia close proximity. After what seemed an almost interminable period, A CLOSED CARRIAGE 1olled over the Twelftn street bridgé and drew up iotheecnurb opposite Messrs. Binswanger Smit. The driver distmounted his box, opened the door the cerriage,and Mayer Goldsoll, looking mot der than when the announcemeut went forth thathe had ruined the Broadway Sav- ings Bunk, alighted. He was accompanied by bis son-in-law, Mr. Slutzky, and after a round of hearty haudshaking and an introduction to the man of news the small pro- cession, headed by Mr. Binswanger, marched up the rear stairs and imto the room ofthe Court of Criminal Correction. There were not a dozen personsin the room, almost every one being marshalled out around the Clark avenue corridors, where Goldsoll was expected to enter. Judge Cady was in his pri- vate room hard by, and on being calied came out and took Mr. Goldsoll by the hand with his customary gvod-nutured **Pleased to see you, sir.’’ Mr. Binswanger produced the three bonds from one of his capacious pockets, and the Court inspected them in silence for a moment. ‘*Take this chair, Mr. Goldsoll, and affix your John Hancock to each of these instru- ments,’’ he finally said, motioning the gentile- nan in question to Prosecuting <Attornev Hogan’s chair. Goldsoll sat down slowly, accepted the proffered pen, as it signing a $15,000 bond was the COMMONEST THING IN THE WORLD, and then wrote '‘Mayer Goldsoll,’’ in a swift, neat business band. ‘*That is all, Mr. Goldsoll,’’ said Judge Cady, as he attested the bonds; *‘now say your prayers, and look out for newspaper men.’’ ‘*Are we at liberty now, Judge?’’ asked Mr. Binswanger. **Atas great a liberty as 1 can conceive of,’’ was the reply. ‘*This way; Ihave provided a piace for you inthe carriage,’’ whispered Mr. Binswanger to the Post-DiIsPpaTcH man, and hastening down the narrow stairs, Goidsoll, Binswanger, Slutzky and the reporter were quickly whirled away southward at a spanking gait. ‘Kev, said Mr. Goldsoll, above the noise of the and addressing the reporter, ‘*l presume you wish me to taik about anything and every- thing; in sbort what you would designate a tinst-ciass interview.’’ As amatter of course he recetved a nod in the affirmative, aud with a gianece at his attor- ney asif tosay, ‘‘When 1 eo too far check me,*’ began bis story. ‘‘New thata gieut hue and crv bas been raised about this matter, what can be done? lum sninnocent man, and never conducted anything but a commercial—straightforward commercial transaction with the Broadway Savings bank.’’ ‘*Thatis all,’’ assented Mr. Binswanger, and Mr. Slutzky siniled an acknowledgment, ‘*But,’’ continued Mr. Goldsoill, ‘‘the bank has lost money in some way, or, at jeast, it is said that it bas, and everytiing in the shape of Dilame has been heaped upon my shoulders. Some one, you know, had blundered, and they all fell upon me.

This bank matter, as lreadily toresaw, would force me into bankruptcy, and I went down there to make an assignment for the beneflt of my commer- cial creditors—the ouly oues who were, in jus- tice, entiticd to any consideration at my hands. On my departure the hue and cry was raised, and it gave we vreat distress, Lassure you tn all candor.

I was then at Sherman, Texas, at the Brinckley House, where I re- mained three weeks. Mr. Binswanger iarther stated that he going east, to Philadelphia, gone until about the last of July, and for me totaks no action until he returned, by which time ye hoped to have everything so arranged that I could return fnd ypive a satiefictory bond if the grand jury took any stepsinthat direction.

I then’’ — At this juncture the carriage haited in front of the Goldsveil mansion, No. 1831 Kennett Place, and the interesting interview was brought to an _ abrupt close. Four ladies und R baif- dozen children hastened out, and as Mr. Goldsoll alighted he was greeted with cries of ‘‘Papa, have you reaily returned?’’ and em- braced by one and all. All were in tears of joy, from his wite down to his youngest grandchild. It was the reunion ofafamily of which the husband and father hed been a fugitive from justice for two long months, and to describe it would be cruel to say the least. How Goldsoll Escaped Arrest. From Mr. Binswanger the story of Goidsoll’s successful evasion of arrest was learned. When information of Goldsoli’s indictment and the dispatching of a man to Texas for his return reached Mr. Binswanger at Philadel- phia be took immediate action. A telegram was at once sent him to Sherman, Texas, with instructions to avoid arrest if possible. It reached its destination safely, and taking the first northbound train on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Mr. Goldsoll ran up toa point in Kansas and thea wentoverto Denver. In the meantime Texas was being scoured by Marshal Coff end local sherifi_s, but without avail.

Page Avenue and «Herbert? s.”” A drive on Page avenue these pleasant even- ings is as delightful a recreation as any man or woman couldask. It has been said that St. Louis does not possess a first-class drive. This is a mistake. There are few better drives to be found than Page avenue. But what woulda drive on Page avenue be worth withoat some place to halt and take some refreshments? Just such a place is ‘‘Herbert’s.’’ Here there is found all that heart could wish, either in the way of somethiug to drink or some- thing to eat. It is a most convenient place to stop and pass an hour. You have every attention that could be desired, and whatis set before youisof the very best quality, from champagne down to a cup of coffee. By keeping such @ magnificent resort, Col. Cool Herbert has had ” most successful season, having gained the a of the very best class of people of the ci Everybody has learned that the luxury 0 a ride on Page avenue is not com- plete without a halt at Herbert’s. Solitaires. Mermod, Jaccard & Co. are still offering dia- monds at very little more than the cost to im- port them, and ali persons who think of buy- ing diamonds would do well to make a selection from the present superb stock at this house while the popmnt scale of prices are retained. Diamonds ctuate in price, though not in value, and itis scarcely probable that there will not be a rise and advance in them beforelong. Messrs.

Solitaire diamond ear-rinrs they sell aslow as the Romanand Ftruscan petierns were two years ago. And these latter have fallen too be- low one-balf their former price, It would scarcely be believed without investigation that Mermod, Jecca:d & Co. do cell e'evzant art’cles at such prices—as the name of the firm is guar- antce enouzh that everythin~ is as they repre- sent it.

Capt. Bogardus Challenged for a Field - Match by a St. Louisan. ‘The Brown Stockings off for an Eastern Tour. A Resume of Rowing, Racing, Pedestrianism and Athletic Events. There is little to record in local sporting cir- -eles. The trotting matinees at the Uote Bril- liante course bave not yet been resumed, and there isa lullin boating and billiards. There are fair prospects of a ficid match being arrang- ed at an early day, between a St. Louis gentie- man and Capt. Bogardus, which will prove otf general interest to all sportsmen. There is considerable activity manifested in base ball matters, the Browns having gone to Cincinnati, where they will meet the Starsintwo or more friendly games. They go from thereto Louis- ville, and will return on next Thursday. The Riversides, of Mempbis, will play a match game with the Future Greats at the Grand Avenue Park to-morrow afternoon, Track Talk.

The pacer Harace Greeley died recently at Mt. Vernon, Ohio, during the progress ofa race. Itis thought that he was poisoned. The great match between Proteine and Bone- setter, for $10,000, has been postponed for some unknown reason until September 20. ‘ Col. J. W.

A year ago, while at Xenia, he mace a record in a ditferent way, but no less worthy of being tuken into account. There wus then no Sund ay train to Dayton, and the Cincinnati papers were brouchtto Day- ton from Xenia, where thev were left by the Columbus express. There was ureat rivalry between the Enguirer and Commercial to see which could reach Dayton first with the papers. The “Knquirer agent bud a fast horse, and usually made the distance in an hour anda balif. Tne Com- mercial agent kept pretty close, but was al- ways alittie inthe rear, until one morning, through the efforts of Billy Wolt, of Dayton, he appeared with Sleepy Tom, an: ad arriv ed in Dayton twenty minutes ahead of the Enquirer. A few weeks later the Enquirer man appeared with another fast horse. It wasa bright, cool Sunday morning, and there was a good coating ot snow onthe ground and a splendid track. The Enquirer man got full five minutes’ start. The distance was sixteen miles, and he was making his way at his best speed, when Sleepy Tom made his appearance beliind, and, after a brief strucglie, passed him, and ar rived in Dayton half an hourin advance, accom plish- ing the entire distancein less than forty-five minutes. Afterthat there was no attempt by the Enquirer man to distance Sleepy Tom.

Mr. Franklin Ferris of the Modoc Club leaves the city to-day for a short vacation. The Missizsippi Rowing Club give a sunimer- night concert at Ubrig’s September 3. Under the careful coaching of Capt. E. H. ‘Cole the champion barge crew are improving rapidly. The race for the championship of four-oared ‘boats (now held by the Modoc Club) will take place the latter part of August. Blue flannel suits with navy buttons. and white caps will be the uniform ot the officers of the Mound City A.R. Association. Mr. Lucas Edell learned to play on the tele- phone while in Keokuk, having had charge of that instrument at the mile station, Now that the Modoc Club have carried their ‘pointinchanging the races from Sunday to week-day, we hope to see boating made tash- ionabie.

Clay Sexton says he is ‘‘dogonned’’ giad the boys have done away with Sunday boat races; thatit always seemed wrong for the Bob Ingersoll to win Sunday boat races. Waters’ Sons have got into a peck of trouble about the barges sold the Modoc, Burlington, Peoria and Farragut clubs. They do not fill the bill, being heavy, slow and poorly finished. What has happened to the St. Louis bundle of Wilkes’ Spirit of tbe Times. It should have been here Jul¥ 26th. It contains an uccount of Keokuk races, and customers are getting im- patient. Nic Guerdon has presented the Modoc Club witb two hammocks to swinginthe new boat house. There is some talk of arranging a sleeping match between the janitor and **Baby.’’ Eastern sporting exchanges say, in referring to the St. Louis clubs that participated in the Keokuk Rowing Regatta, that the members are fair oarsmen, but that their boats are entirely too heavy. The Western Club are going to have sliding seats put in their eight-oared wvarge Occi- dental, and, should it win the race, they will change the name of the boat by substituting an ‘‘A’’ forthe ‘‘O.’’ Mr. Musgrove. member of the St. John fClub, New Orleans, winner of the senior scull at Lake George, and Mr. Tobin, the noted Canadian runner, are among those who have called on the Modoc Club House the past week. The eight-oarea barge race for the Faust Cup, now held by the Modoc Club, will be rowed for Saturday afternoon vetween 5 and 6p.m., September 27. Asthisis a week-day race it is boped all who are opposed to Sunday racing will turn out in force. To show how boat clubs have to pay bills, the Modoc Club recently received a racing The weight was 250 pounds, and regular freight rates would have cost about'filty cents. The modest little bill they have had to pay is $30, or as much as the freight would be on 250 bar- rels ot fiour. Natives of the British Provinces have been spreading themselves in athletics the! past year. J.

Warren Smith, of Halifax, it is said, has beaten the time of George Brown, a once fa- mous Halifax oaisman, by many seconds. To show the class of sculler George Brown was, we append a record of his principal match races: Jeat Robert Fulton, of ,.St. John, $2,000, four miles, at Digby, N. S., July 12, 1872; beat Jobn Biglin, $2,000, five miles, Halifax, N.S., September 23, 1872; beat Billy Scharff,$4,000, five miles, Springfield, Mas:., July 8, 1874; beat Evan Morris, $4,000, five iniles, near St. John, N. B., September 25, 1874. The last two races were forthe chutmp:onship of Am- erica. Pedestrianism. Reeves, the pedestrian, still languishes the city jail on acharge of aszaulting his wife with intent to kill. She hasinstituted suit for a divorce.

One of the most important shooting matches in the country will Oceur next Tuesday after- noon at Grand Crossing, near Chicago. It is the match between Abe Kicinman, of Uhicago, and Dr. H. Talbot, of Brooklyn, N. Y., for the Bogardus champion medal of the world, which Kleinman won at New York last year at the tournamentinthatcity. The conditions are as icllows: One hundred birds each, $250 a side; 50 single birds at 25 yards rise, ground traps, one barrelonly; 25 pairs at 21 yards rise, plunge traps, vLoth barrels. This medal isthe onethatErb, of this State, challenged Kleinman for last spring, and, owing to some trouble about the location of the match, it never camc off. Erb wanted it in St. Louls and Kleinman wanted itiuChicago. This time the match will undoubtedly occur. Bogardus Heard From. A Mr. Clark, recently of Dallas, Texas, now of this city, has offered, tnrough a mutual friend, to meet Capt. Bogardus in a field match, within the next three months, for any sum be mayname, Quail are the proposed game, and the conditions proposed are thata fNeld be taken, the birds torise at any distance. The appended reply has been received from Gapt. Bogardus at the Astor House, New York: NEW YORK, Yuly 25, 1879.—D£E,AR Sir: Yours to hané, and in regard to Mr. Clark’s challenge and assertion that I dare not shoot with him in the field, itis a mistake. 1 have offered to shoot him a match atany time, quait in the fleld. and will shoot shot about for 100 or 1,000 shots for $1,000 a side, on the game econdi- tions that I proposed before. As I have been shot throug the thigh and find it impossible to walk all day, I will go out each dey for one-half day and shoot. on strange giound, as follows: If two birds are shot with one barrel the shot not to count, and no shovot- ing into covies allowcd; Iwanta zood square single and double shvot.

In the race tor the pennant, the Chicago, Bos- ton and Cincinnati Base Ball Clubs seem pret- ty evenly matched. It is thought that Chicago will secure the chanipiouship, as St. Louis is out of the contest. Through the exertions of the New York Ath- letic Club a team of English athletes has been induced to accept an invitation to come to America this fal], and engagein a competition of all-round athletics—England vs. America. A prize fight occurred Sunday last on Locust Mountain, near Shenandoah, Pa., betweentwo miners, Pete Dolman, ot Boston, and James Fiynn, of Maboney City, and was won in twen- ty-five rounds by Dolman. Both men were terribly battered.

A champion and championess gold medal, set with a solitaire diamond, will be awarded to the bighest scorers. ates 3 oo INSURANCE ITEMS, —— Gleaned in St. Louis Insurance Offices by Post-Dispatch Reporters. The Cincinnati Enquirer, emulating the Post-DISPATCH, publishes weekly a column of Inaurance Items, whichare always readable, and often valuable. The members of the Board of Marine Under- writers should elect Mr. J. W. hing president of that body. If his circular is valuable, the Board doesn’t know its business. Tbe autbor of a circular directed against the Marine Board persists in spelling ‘‘lose’’ l-o-o-s-e. That, provably, is because there is so much general looseness in tie circular. A pronunciamento of the Marine Board has ‘*riled’’ Mr. King, @ steamboat agent, to such an extent that he follows the example of the illustrious Wegge. and ‘‘drops into poetry.’’ What does the literary steamboat agent know about the old ‘‘Merchants’ line?’’ That reminiscence of the ‘*Wah’’ fought, bled and died before that gentieman was born—steam- boat agent. As an evidence of the willingness of compa- nies to pay all proper claims, it may be men- tioned that over $650,000 have been equalized tothe benefit of policy-holders in St. Louis since Junuary Ist, 1579. STATUTORY DAMAGES.—A large-sounding title, principally used by plaintiffs’ attorneys when suing insurance corporations. It is supposed to huve weight with ajury, mouths well, and is Nob/y fought for, but never gained. SOLVENCY.—Formerly this word was held to indicate ability to pay debts. It is now paraded at a dollar a line to indicate ability to fight it outit it takes allsummer. Or-rick-ular indi- cations are that the first letter might be Z.

BULK-HEADING.—This is a fine old English word, meant to indicate that steamboats thus protected cannot sink. Formerly bulk-heads were built for that purpose; at present a few planks may be put in, and credit claimed for improvement, ali connecting Coors being left open to neutralize tbe effect of a bulk-head. The steamship Atlantic was bulk-headea, and | boats only for three days’ | stress of weather or | the loss of lives was about 400 men, women | and children.

The resolution udopted tou prevent steamers lying two weeks in port with cargo on board. itis a tact not generally known that there is a Chinese marine insurance company inthis city. The Mongolian insurers are doing a pret- ty good Lusinessin taking risks on treasure shipments from San Francisco to Hong Kong. The institution goes by the name of the On Yai Insurance Company of Hung Kong. There is probably something in this name that issweetand alluring to the ordinary China- man.—(|San Francisco Bulletin, The I.-G. respecttully suggests that any person dissatis- fied with the Marine Board ot this city would do wellto apply for the agency of the popular **On Yai.’’ The Equitable Lite Insurance Society has done a just and wisething in announcing that no claim under policies upon which three annual premiums have been paid will be contested by the com- pany on account of errors or falsities in the ap- plication of the assured. The truth is that, un- like fire or marine insurance, life insurance can be based upon the most accurate information as to all the conditions and probabilities relating to the subject insured. There is ample time in which and abundant living witnesses from whom to Obtain all necessary knowledge before the application is accepted. The succeeding three years proposed by the Equitable’s plan are years of disclosure to the company’s repre- sentatives, if there be anything to disclose that is prejudicial to the risk. If after that amount. of time and opportunity a life company consents to carry a risk it ought to consent to pay for it at death without delay or damage by suits-at-law. Apart from the intrinsis merit of the Equitabie’s novel scheme it is the best advertising card the com- pany could put forth—better than the New York Mutual’s sham **re- daction’’ in rates—better than the promise of large dividends to policy-holders. For what the man who islayingup a store against the evil day wants is not profit, but security—not cheapness but certainty. And if he can feel that witha given company the interests of his dependent family are protected fromthe dangers which, so often, unsuspect- ed, are interposed to confront the claim of the widow andthe orphan, that company will have the preferenee of his patronage at remunerative rates.

Summer Dress. Dress bas become a very different mat- from what it was when our grand- mothers were «irls. Their experience of life as mainly an indoor routine; their occasions o9r formal dress were limited to social atherings in the neighborbood or assemblages the meeting-house. Then a short dress for bome wear and a respectabie suit for church were all that they actually needed. Now woman’s dress requires to be especially adapted to their dif- ferent needs. It should be like the women of to-day—stylish and elegant, yet simple and wseful—tree trom superfluity of all kinds. What women should do nowadays is to look at dress from areasonable and sensible pointot View, asthey wou ld at any other question tin which they were interested. One can no longer say this is and that is not the fashion, for almost everything is fashion that can be gracefully adapted to the time -and occasion. What is fashiona- or one is notitor another, tov fashion now ethan ever consists: in adapting the cos- he to the occupation, time and circum- ance. One’s dress should be suitable to and harmonize with the general style of the wear- er. Itisawoman’s duty to dress well as her means will wdmit. Now that the heated term is upon us, aword on summer dressing may be in place. ‘The beauty of summer dressing is in its freshness and _ its comfort; and there are such lovely chintz sat- ines, soft-finished cambrics, Mummy cioths, Jawns and fine batistes in delicate coloring that apy one that likes pretty Cresses can buy love- ly washing materiuletind make them up her- self; also wash and iron them, using the cool morning hoyts for the last-mwentioned opera ion.

Many erroneous impressions prevail about the pulse as indicative of health or disease, a common notion being that its beatings are much more regular and uniform than they really are. Frequency varies withage. Inthe new born infant the beatings are from 130 to 140 to the minute; in the second year froin 100 to115; fromthe seventh to the fourteenth year, trom 80 to 90; from the fourteenth to the 21st year, from 75 to 85; from the 2ist to the 60th year, from 70 to 75. After that period the pulse is generally thought ie worn .. to decline, but medical authorities differ radi- Cally on this point, having expressed the most contradictory opinions. Young persons are often found yiiose pulses are below 60, and here aedinen many instances Of pulses ha- itually reaching 100; or not exceeding 40, thout apparent disease.

Not one American woman faints to-day where, thirty years ago, twenty-‘tive woman faintea, and the diminution of the disorder, always the result of direct causes, is an unmistakable evidence, which other things corroborate, of the marked amelioration of the health of high- ly-organized, extremely-sensitive, but flexible andenduring, women of our complex race.

A shaggy white cloak, with a pood’ sometin.es thrown over the head, completes the costume. Inthe cities, howev- er, European dress is largely adopted. The women of the higher classes who have not yet adopted French fashions, wear a red skull cap, often set with pearls, with a long gilt tasse), an embroidered jacket fitting close Lo the body,and a close petticoat of gay colors. We must confess that the costume is an ex- ceedingly attractive one, and often compelled ustolooktwice at the rather pretty young women whom we passed in the streets of Athens. Inthe interior, bowever, we found the women generally indulging in a dirty wrap around the shoulders,’a dirtier short skirt and still dirtier bare legs and feet.

[From the Loulsville Medical Ngws. } To keep things cool don’t putthem on the ice, but put the ice upon the things. This piece of wisdom was not imparted to us by our grandmother; and, judging from the tradition- al ignorance displayed around us uponthe subject, we should say that the penulti- mate generation generally was not sound upon the great questions of summer. The anclent ice-box was a humbug—a delusion The modern refrigerator is built upon the goes up; butit still has many imperfections in scant packing and complicated drainage. The best possible retrigerator would be constructed on the ‘*‘Nyce Fruit House’’ plan, and be protected on all sides as well as_ top and bottom with a non-conductor of heat, which inthe order of perfectionis as fol- lows: Wool, cotton, cotton-seed, planing- charcoal and suwdust. The space occupied by this non-conductor should be from £1x inches to a footin width. The out- side case may be made ot wood. the inside should be of galvanized iron, with a partition otthe same dividing it into two compartments; one-fourth of the space in the upper, which is to contain the ice, and three-fourts below, in which the thingsto be keptcool are put. A drain-pipe is put intothe ice apartment, and the doors and lid are made air-tight. All of which re- quires a mechanic, of course, to construct; but for very Many purposes, almost any one can make an excellent refrigeratoron the same principle in the tollowing manner: Take two dry-goods boxes,one sixjinches smaller in each direction than the other. Pat one inside the other, and pack the space with any of the materials named. Put slats across the inside box near the top on which to rest the ice, and use a bag ofsawdust or any other non- conducting material for a lid. This is the only way an amatenr is likely to make it air- tight. The whole affair will costadollar or two, and for many purposes far surpasses ma- ny of the most elaborate refrigerators. No one nas tasted a cold melon until he has tried one which has been six or eight hours in such abox. There isno arrangement here made for drainage, and materials spoilable by water will of course be put in water-tight vessels. To keep milk cool at night for children, put it either ‘‘loose’’ or in bottles in one crock, on top of this put another crock a size to pass one inch or so into the other, filled with ice, with woollen upon top of it, and over the whole spread a blanket.

Quatrefage’s work on ‘‘The Human Species’ is the most complete work yet issued in the International Scientific Series. The discussion is complete of the whole field of anthropology, and the evasion of scriptural issues, while it may not be over-brave, is certainly skillfully done. A number of race movements are thor oughly analyzed, and, as far asthe limits of a volume of five hundred pages can go, the study ot mankind is brought to its present status among the sciences. ’ Heine’s Unpublished Works. The unpublished works of Lleine, which have recently been discovered in the archives of the inistry of Finance at Vienna, consist of two volumes of memoirs referring.to the period trom 1800 to 1836 and some satirical poems on the House of Hapsburg. The poems were read by Heine to his brother Gustavus, editor of the Fremdenblatt, during the latter’s visit to Paris in 1851. WUWeine had a very poor opinion of his brotner’s abilities, and, when the latter told him that he thought of making his paper the organ the reactionary party, he dryly observed, ‘‘Well, you are fool enough to doit,’’and then proceeded to vent his spleen on the Austrian dynasty by reading aloud the poems in question.

Besides, if I am attacked Iam amply capabie of defending myself.’’ The vebicie rolled away and the priest turn- ed down the Rue de Grenelle-St.-Germain without noticing that he was followed by a man whose appearance was by no sessing. means prepos- lI. It was towards the close of December, 1878. Times were hard—very hard, and if here and there a brilliantly tlluminated mansion indl- cated that balls and banquets were given by the rich, further on in the quarters where the poer swarmed were cold, darkness and hunger. Indeed, the scene at that place and instant olfered a strange and sadly Significant contrast. Through the widely opened door from which the priest and his companion had just issued, could be seen in the inner courtyard a ring of splendid equipages and a throng of well-ted and richly dressed coachimen and lackeys. From their thick coats and furs thev beamed forth, fat, treshly-shaven, snug; the horses, heavily blanketed, tossed their heads with a glitter and clank of brass and silver, and the warm and ruddy light gleamed on glossy robes und costly trappings.

Suddenly, as ifby enchantment, the man who had been stalking his footsteps appeared at his side; moking atremendous bound like the spring of a tiger, he caught the priest by the throat, and both rolled upon the snowy sidewalk. The gentleman who had followed them darted forward, but ere he reached them they were on theirfeet. With one hand the young priest held his assailant’s wrists so firmly that, though the man struggied and writhed to free himself, he could not breaé his captor’s hold; withthe other he struck the snow from his robe. ‘*IT give in,’’ fimflly they noOassy. said the ragged man, in a sharp and /itter tone, as he ceased to struggle; ‘‘I give in—it may as well end here and now.’’ And, as he caught his breath, he xdded, hoarsély, and asif talking to himself, ‘*‘The litte ones will die—if they are not dead —that is all.’’ The priest had not uttered a single word. ‘*I give in—take me to the station,’’ his pris- oner repeated. ma ‘*My friend,’’ said Father Gottlieb, mildly, ‘‘why bave you attucked me?’’ The man in his turn was silent. ‘*What has driven you to this crime?’’ ‘*We have jabbered ecnough,’’ said the man, fiercely ; ‘‘I don’t care a curse for your petti- coats and shorn heads; take me to the station; you are stronger than lI.’’ ‘*Have you nota wife and children who will be shamed by your madness and lett without protection—perhaps in destitution?

Summer Dress. Dress bas become a very different mat- from what it was when our grand- hers were girls. Their experience of life as mainly an indoor routine; their occasions formal dress were limited to social atherings in the neighborbood or assemblages the meeting-house. Thenashort dress for pme wear and a respectable suit for church were all that they actually needed. Now owoman’s dress requires to be especially adapted to their dif- ferent needs. It should be like the women of to-day—stylish and elegant, yet simple and useful—tree trom superfluity of all kinds. What women should do nowadays is to look at dress froma reasonable and sensible pointot view, asthey wou lu at any other question in which they were interested. One can no longer say this is and that is not the fashion, for almost everything is fashion that can be gracefully adapted to the time -and occasion. What is fashiona- or one is notitor another, tov fashion now ethan ever consists in adapting the cos- eto the occupation, time and circum- tance. One’s dress should be suitable to and harmonize with the general style of the wear- er. Itisa woman’s duty to dress as well as her means will udmit. Now that the heated term is upon us, aword on summer dressing may be in place. The beauty of summer dressing is in its - freshness and _ its comiort; and there are such lovely chintz sat- ines, soft-finished cambrics, Mummy cioths, lawns and fine batistesin delicate coloring that any one that likes pretty Cresses can buy love- ly washing materialetind make them up her- self; also wash and iron them, using the cool morning hoyts for the last-mentioned opera- ion.

Pulse asa Barometer of Health. Many erroneous impressions prevail about the pulse as indicative of health or disease, a common notion being that its beatings are much more regular and uniform than they really are. Frequency varies withago. Inthe new born infant the beatings are from 130 to ‘ 140 to the minute; in the second year frein 100 to 115; fromthe seventh to the fourteenth year, from 80 to 90; from the fourteenth to the 21st year, from to 85; from the 2ist to the 60th year, from 70 to 75. After that period the pulse is generally thought to decline, but medical authorities differ radi- Cally on this point, having expressed the most eontradictory opinions. Young persons are often found yiiose pulses are below 60, and here ow" ae many instances of pulses ha- itually reaching 100, or not exceeding 40, thout apparent disease. Sex especially in ults, influences the pulse, wnien, im women, omi10 to.14 beats to the minute more then in men of the same age. ular oxertion, even position, ma- affects the pulse. Its average ney in healthy men of twenty-seven is anding, 81; when sitting, 71; when ly- per minyte;in women ot the same age ‘ ions, 91, Si and 79. In sleep in general considerably slower wukefulness. In certain diseases irapsy of the brain, forexample—there © be 150, even 200 beats; in other kinds of ases, such as apoplexy and some organic st fthe heart, there may be no more ban eM rtrmeutone Thus one of the commonest diagnostic signs is liable to deceive the most experienced practitioners. se,8 —_— -—— — - —_ 75 Why People Faint. aintingisso common with some persons, tticularly women, and the cause of it is so le understood by non-professional people, hat some knowledge on the subject often fmroves Valuable.

Some persons re so easily affected that hey swoonif they cut their finger or see any one bleed. Their detect is over-sensitive merves and weak muscular fibre. The heart is bssentiaily a muscle, Which is feeble in some, strongin others—feebie generally in women ud strong in men. Whatever weakens the peart and muscles commonly produces faint- mess, close; foul air being an active causa. Whatever greatly affects the nerves, such as bad news or the sight of the disagreeable or horrible, may induce a swoon; and loss of blood is another and serious incitement. Sound health, naturaily accompanied by firm mives’ andy;-rmscles, is the best pre- ventive of\ fuintuess. The majority of vigorous men rege) through all kinds of severe and painful experiences without fainting, while delicate men and wo- men swoon at trfies. American women, who used to paint continualiy—in crowds, at bad news, at scenes of distress—now faint compar- ative seldom; and ihe fact ascribed to their relinquishment, for the most part, of the habit oflacing, to their increased exercise in the open air, and their better physical conditions. Not one American woman faints to-day where, thirty years ago, twenty-five woman fainted, and the diminution of the disorder, always the result of direct causes, is an unmistakable evidence, which other things corroborate, of the marked amelioration of the health of high- ly-organized, extremely-sensitive, but flexible andenduring, women of our complex race. —_ Home Flowers.

A shaggy white cloak, with a pood’ sometin.es thrown over the head, completes the costume. Inthe cities, howev- er, European dress is largely adopted. The women of the higher classes who have not yet adopted French fashions, wear a red skull cap, often set with pearls, with a long gilt tasse], an embroidered jacket fitting close 10 the body,and a close petticoat of gay colors. We must confess that the costume is an ex- ceedingly attractive one, and often compelled us tolooktwice at the rather pretty young women whom we passed in the streets of Athens. Inthe interior, however, we found the women generally indulging in a dirty wrap around the shoulders, a dirtier short skirt and still dirtier bare legs and feet. Many of their customs remind the traveler of Homer’s de- scription of their ancestors. Henry Ward Beecher on Sleep.

Soap as a Remedy for Malarial Poison, It is worth while for common people to learn that fifty thousand typbus germs will thrivein the circumference of a pin-head, or a visible globule. Itis worth while for them to note thatthese germs may be desiccated and be borne, like thistle seeds, everywhere, and, like demoniacal possessions, may Jump noise- lessly down anythroat. But there are certain things spores cannot stand, according to the latest ascertained results of science. soap chemically poisonsthem.

Southworth school, marked as plainly on the outside by a cheapness of material as it is between the covers by a cheapness of litera- ture. The gaudy red and blue of Roatledge’s issues indicate their flamboyant contents, while the solid drabs and duns of Macmillan, Appleton and Osgood are as good in contents as they are wholesome in coverings. Some books have a similarity that is accident- al, and almostimprobable; Katherine King, for instance, writes military novels that compare with some of the best of Lever or Henry Kings- ley, while Winthrop analyzes aftera fashion that reminds one continually of George Eliot. Nor isthbis all. Tricks of manner and of treat- ment classify some novels.

Jewett are so closs together that any one can see the resemblance. the Human Species. Quatrefage’s work on ‘‘The Human Species’’ is the most complete work yet issued in the International Scientific Series... The discussion is complete of the whole fiela of anthropology, and the evasion of scriptural issues, while it may not be over-brave, is certainly skillfully done. A number of race movements are thor- oughly analyzed, and, as far asthe limits of a voiume ot five hundred pages can go, the study ot mankind is brought to its present status among the sciences. Heine’s Unpublished Works. The unpublished works of Heine, which have recently been discovered in the archives of the Ministry of Finance at Vienna, consist ot two volumes of memoirs referring to the period trom 1800 to 1836 and some satirical poems on the House of Hapsburg. The poems were read by Heine to his brother Gustavus, editor of the Fremdenblatt, during the latter’s visit to Paris in 1851. Heine had a very poor opinion of his brother’s abilities, and, when the latter told him that he thought of making his paper the organ of the reactionary party, he dryly observed, ‘‘Well, you are fool enough to doit,’’and then proceeded to vent his spleen on the Austrian dynasty by reading aloud the poems in guestion. Gustavus, alarmed, rep- resented to his brotherthat if these poems were published it would be impossible for him to remain at Vienna, and knowing his broth- er’s financial difficulties, offered to buy ths manuscript. Eventually a bargain was con- cluded, and Gustavus returned to Vienna. In 1852 he again came tolTaris, and tound his brother ill and penniless as before.

[From the New York World. } I ‘*I beg of you, Monsieur l’Abbe,’’ said the gentleman, asthe coupe drew up, ‘'I beg of you to let me take you home. It would hardly be prudent for you to go home afoot and aione ntso late an hour, withthe proceeds ot our little benevolent festival about you.’’ ‘*Thank you, my dear sir,’’ responded the priest, ‘‘butthe moneyis for the poor, and who would think of stealing it? Besides, if I am attacked Iam amply capabie of defending myself.’’ The vebicie rolled away and the priest turn- ed down the Rue de Grenelle-St.-Germain without noticing that he was followed by a man whose appearance was by no means prepos- sessing. lI. It was towards the close of December, 1878. Times were hard—very hard, and if here and there a brilliantly illuminated mansion indi- cated that balls and banquets were given by the rich, further on in the quarters where the poor swarmed were cold, darkness and hunger. Indeed, the scene at that place and instant offered 7 strange and sadly Significant contrast. Through the widely opened door from which the priest and his companion had just issued, could be seen in the inner courtyard a ring of splendid equipages and a throng of well-ted and richly dressed coaclhmen and lackeys. From their thick coats and furs they beamed forth, fat, freshly-shaven, snug; the horses, heavily blanketed, tossed their heads with a glitter and clank of brass and silver, and the warm and ruddy light gleamed on glossy robes and costly trappings. And just without the lean and haggard man, who watched the scene with envying eyes, shivered on the sidewalk, ragged and weil-nigh barefoot. The face revealed by the gaslight wns not that of a criminal, but two deep wrinkles, that seemed channels worn by bitter tears, extending from the eyes down- ward, gave his face the appearance of being set in a sinister grin. Despair, anger, passion, fright, all tnaese ‘had set their seal on his coun- tenance. He looked at once wearied and furi- ous, like one who had long struggled in vain against unjust and extreme temptation. He had doubtiess been a workman, certainly was a beggar, and probably would be a thief or worse. ITl. As the priest passed him the man suddenly started and recoiled an few paces, muttering something hoarsely, then silently and watch- fully followed alter bim, keeping within the shadow of the walls. liad he heard the priest’s conversation with his friend?

IV. The street was asleep and white with snow. Not a breath disturbed the keen air, and the sky, clear as a imighty opal, added all its milky uniformity to the serenity of the winter night. The Abbe Gottlieb turned to the lett, along the Boulevard des Invalides, which was sbso- lutely deserted, walking rapidly but head bent down as ifin thought. ifby enchantment, the man stalking his footsteps appeared at his side; minsking atremendous bound like the spring of a tiger, he caught the priest by the throat, and both rolled upon the snowy sidewalk. The gentleman who had followed them darted forward, but ere he reached them they were on their feet. With one band tlhe held his assailant’s wrists so firmly § that, though the man strugeied and writhed to free himself, he could not breag his captor’s hold; with the other he struck robe. ‘*I givein,’’ finally said the ragged man, in a sharp and bitter tone, as he ceased to struggle; ‘‘I give in—it may as well end here and now.’’ And, as hecaught his breath, he ndded, boarsely, and asif talking to himself, ‘*The little ones will die—if they are not dead —that is all. The priest had not uttered a single word, ‘*I give in—take me to the station,’’ his pris- oner repeated. v. ‘*My friend,’’ said Father Gottlieb, mildly, ‘‘why bave you attucked me?’’ The man in his turn was silent. ‘*What has driven you to this crime?’’ ‘*We have jabbered cnough,’’ said the man, fiercely; ‘‘I don’t care a curse for your petti- coats and shorn heads; take me to the station; you are stronger than i. : ‘Have you nota wife and children who will be shamed by your madness and lett without prote ction—perhaps in destitution?

The open-air theatrical summer season is now drawing to a close and the regular dra- matic season of 1879-80 wilil begin at the end of the present month. The garden perform- ances, of which there are two, have done imuch to keep up a livelier interest in matters theatrical and operatic than usual. But the most exciting topic of conversation among the lovers of the stage during the present week bas been the capture of De Bar’s Opera-house by Wakefield and its clever recapture by Mr. J. A. Rovertson, Mr. John Norton’s attorney. The latter gentleman continues to hold the fort and the theater will be duly opened sSep- tember lst. It is now barricaded and guarded night and day, andis deemed secure against all attacks. The Olvmpic is undergoing the annual process of renovation. Work on Pope’s new theater is being vigo- rously pushed forward, and there is no doubt that it will be ready tor the opening, which is fixed for September 29th. The tower has been partivy demolished and the front wall pull- ed down. The excavations under the stage and tor the parquette are almost completed. The side and rear walls have been heightened, and the workmen are already laboring onthe roof. Mr. Chas.

UMRIG’S CAVE. ‘*‘The Bells of Corneville’’ hascontinued on thelprogramme all the week at Uhrig’s,and has drawn good audiences. Theroleof the Mar- quis has been interpreted this week by Mr. W.

Mr. Luard does full justice to the mupical requirements ot this arduous role, and his opening aria is nightly redemanded iis acting is also easy and just suited to the character. Mr. Luard has made quite a fea- ture of the Marquis. Mr. Rennie is missed in the Notary, which bas been impersonated suecesssiveiy by Messrs. Randolph and Kuight. These are the only changes in the cast.

At Bodemann’s Garden the Halcyon Opera Company opened Sunday evening to a flatter- ingly good house. The attraction was the seem- ingly ever fresh ‘‘Pinafore,’’ although itis doubtfulif Gilbert and Sullivan would have recognized their work as given at the first two performances otthiscompany. It is certainiy unfortunate that the management should have chosen to open before the company were sufficiently up in their parts. As a farce ot the broadest kind the enter- tainments on Sunday ana monday evenings were magnificent suceesses. Since thenthe cast bas been greatly strengthened and each successive evening lias shown mark- ed improvement. The principal parts are now distributed as Josephine, Mrs. Emma Mettler How- Mr. J. H. Rennie; Capt. Ralph, Mr. Heath; Deadeye, Mr. Frank Miss Tillie McHenry; draws a double en- core nightly as the midshipmite. Of these individually a tew words will suffice. Mr. Rennie’s Sir Joseph is certainly not the although points. ‘‘Satire’’ should not be confused with burlesque, and we fail to find in history any account ot a First Lord of the Admiralty posturing like a va- riety performer or dancing like a buffoon. Mr. Gaylord’s Captainis a surprise to thove who know him, and know that he never attempted the part until Tuesday night, and then without even a rehearsal. His voiceis full, round and fitting the part, and with some agingin his make-up there would be little to criticise. Mr. Heath has worked hard and done well, everything considered; but he is over- weighted by the part heessavs. His voice tis too light, and besties lacks tke true tenor tone. Afew years added to his age would probably make a vast difference in his ability to render the part acceptably. The management expect the serv- ices of Mr. W. H. Stanley Monday, to take the place of Mr. Heath. Mr. Howard seems to bave gained nothing by criticism, and con- tinues to monopolize a great deal more of the stage than Deadeye is properly entitled to. So much bas already been said upon this sub- ject thatitis probably useless to add more, but if Mr. Howard would only consent to adopt a little of the good advice that is profiered by those who are his real friends, his performance would be fine. Mrs. Mettier-Howard, Miss McHenry and Miss Raymond each have done well, and were all others as well entitled to favorable criticism the performance would be exception- ally fine. The tendency to ‘‘gag’’ seems trre- sistible and marsan otherwise true concep- tion ofthe part. Takenasa whole, the com- pany has improved nightiy and merits the steadily increasing patronage it its receiving. SCHNAIDER’S GARDEN. The regular concerts are given here every Thursday and Sunday evening. The audiences enjoy the moonlight evenings and cool breezes while listening to the ‘* music of the band.’’ LOCAL NOTES. Carlo Torriani is now rehearsing ‘‘Girofie- Ghofla.’’ Louis Nathal is expected to be the ideal Mourzook. John McGutre,the Wandering Danite, returned from Chicago. Mr. J. J. Collins will aepart, on August 27, to enter on his duties as stage manager of the McCullough Combination. The following operatic companies have been engaged by Messrs. Spalding and Norton: Maretzek’s, Mapleson’s, Strakosch’s, Abbot’s, Gran’s, Oates’, Colville’s and Bice’s. A special entertainment is promised at Ubrig’s Cave to-morrow (Sunday) week, under the management of Mr. W. Harris, of Harris & Carroll. Don Ferreyre, the ‘‘man flute,’’ will ard; Sir Joseph Porter, Corcoran, Mr. Gaylord; Hebe, Miss Raymond; Howard; Buttercup, has appear, and also W. H. Roltan, tne celebrated . mind reader. A farce by the Blake Comedy Company will conclude the evening’s perform- ance. Dramatic Notes. Last year there were 128 combinations that took the road. This year they have dwindled down to ninety-eight. Miss Geraldine Maye will play Dorothy to F. C. Bangs’ Daniel Druce the coming season. Harry Eytinge will be in the company. Haverly thinks the combination business will be overdone with this season, and a reaction favorabie to stock companies will set in.

The Boston Pilot notes two reeent events which indicate the advances of Catholicism in New England.
