[From the Shreveport (La.) Times.] The examination of Dr. Larrie Armstrong for the killing of Wyatt Foster at Pleasant Hill, De Soto Parish, on Sunday, June 29, commenced in the parish court at Pleasant Hill yesterday. About forty witnesses have been summoned, and quite a crowd of spectators were present. The trial, itisthought, willlast several days. There is no undue excitement, ‘ut a great deal of interest is manifested. After he killing, it will be remembered, Dr. Armstrong escaped into Texas, but atthe suggestion ot his father, he returned, surrendered and asked for an examination. He was placed under guard by the sheriff, who allowed himtoputup atthe Pacific Hotel, and to visit around and go about ashe pleresed. Dr. Armstrong, father of the accused, is one of the most prominent citizens ot De Soto parish, and is highly respected for his many good qualities. He was anxious that bis son should return and vindicate himself, and hence advised bim. Apurty was given at the residence of Dr. Mumford abont three weeks before the killing took pixce. Miss Foster, sister of deceased, Dr. Larrie Armstrong and several others were present, though Wyatt Foster (deceased) was not. During or before the dancing com- menced the accused and Miss Fos- ter mutually agreed not to turn each other in the several sets they might dance in. This agreement was strictly observed, and in several sets in which the parties were dancing they carried outthe same. The last time Miss Foster refused to turn him, Dr. Armstrong made a gesture toward her with his hand, and in an unpleasant manner said: ‘‘I’ll be d—a it I'll turn you again,’’ and further remarked, **You are a d—d fool tor puiting on your free nigger airs here.’’The dancing then ceased and the guests commenced departing. The partner of Miss Foster remonstrated twice with the ac- cused regarding the insult offered her. Arm- strong first replied that he was as good as she; andinthbe second interview expressed sorrow at his action, and acknowledged the right ot Miss Foster’s partner to defend her, saying he knew he had the spunk to do so. Miss liar Armstrong, sister of the accused, also express- ed regret to Miss Foster as she was leaving the house, crving at the mannerin which she had been insulted. Miss Foster, in her testimony, said about three wecks after the party, during which time she had not seen Dr. Armstrong, the accused, Wyatt Foster, her brother, went to Pleasant Hill and sent the following note to accused: PLEASANT HILL, June 29, 1879. LARRIE:—I heard that you, while drinking, ata party, used very abusive and insulting language to and about my sister, and positive- ly refused to apologize or give an explanation, I cannot understand whatit means. I would like to see you down town a tew moments. Yours, W.J. FOSTER, JR. The reply was written on the same piece of paper and addressed to the deceased: Srr:—I am ready to see you at any time; I can be found athome. You know where I re- side; so call around when you please. Ever, L. R. ARMSTRONG. Mr. Wiilie Davis, tor prosecution, was called and,being sworn, said he was at the party anc beard accused say somethiag about Miss Foster 1 the first part of the night, when witness was ancing with Miss Foster in the first dance; was swinging Miss Foster at the time accused calied out to witness: **Will, turn that left ox.”’ Accused used or repeated Fame expression several times thas night; thought accused bad refer- ence to Miss Foster; did not know though; thought he referred to her because they had had a little quarrel before that; accused did not use that expression to witness while he was dancing with anyone elise; saw accused point his finger to her, butdid not hear what he said; saw that accused would not turn Miss Foster when he used the above expression. Accused and witness afterwards walked out to the wate, and accused told witness that he (theaccused) acteda ftoolthat night; ac- cused said hbehad heard that some said he would be made to retract what he had said and done, but that they could not doit nor would he‘de it. Accused and witness spoke of this affair ou «ve morning of the difficulty. Witness told eccused that he heard Foster would be up that day; accused answered, ‘ Yes, I heard so.’’ At time of homicide, witness was not present at interview in the old field. Did not sce Fosterthat day until after he was killed. Miss Foster left the ball-room a few minutes after the insult. ‘Another witness (Rambio) testified that him- self and Foster were riding throurch an old field on the Sunday of the killing, and were met by Armstrong, who said to Foster, ‘‘I’ll see you down town dircctly.’’ They then pro- ceeded to Gooch’s store, satdown and_ were conversing with other parties who were there. In a short time Armstrong came up and said, ‘**Wyatt Foster, I to see you now.’’ Both went sround between front and rear of store, out of sizght ot witness. The only thing he heard wus *‘Are yon ready?’’ And ‘‘Is that your ame?’’The first act he saw was Foster striking rmstronginthe tace. Boththen drew their revolvers, Armstrong being first to fire, but Foster quickly, or almost simultaneously, following. Foster emp- tied his revolver, shooting at Arm- strong, one ball only taking eftect—hitting the left arm ofthe latter. Armstrong then drew a gimlet dirk-knife and struck at Foster, who stumbled over some rubbish and fell upon his hands and knees. In attempting to arse Arm- strong dealt Foster several blows with his dirk- knife, onejust as he was up. Foster made two attempts to retreat, but was followed up by Armstrong, whose fatal shot was fired at deceased when not more than six feet from him. F oster fell against a stump and was iet gently ¢ swn by one who witnessed the affuir, and A:mstrong walked off. The mother of deceased arrived just in time to hear him gasp what was thought to be ‘‘mam’’ in response to her call. This was his last utter- oes as he died a few minutes after the fatal shot. Prompted by Jealousy. ®v Western Associated Press. NEWPORT, Pa., August 7.—W. K. Miller, ot Harrisburg, was shot dead to-day by Samuel E. Albright, of Montgomery’s Ferry.

The case of John H. Bobb, charged with using language towards Michael Kinealy in- tended to provoke a breach of the peace, was called in the Court of Criminal Correction this morning, and continued fo. tne city until the 4th of September. The case is appealed from the First District Police Court, where the defendant was fined $5 and costs. The ease is an amusing one in every detail, and the language calculated to provoke a breach ot the peace rests in Bobb meeting Kinealy on the street and addressing bit as ‘*‘slippery Mike.’’ The defendant filed the following motion fora new trial in the Police Court, which was overruled: 1. Because the verdict is against the law and the evidence. 2. Because the Court refused or, at least, | failed to consider the weight of the testimony. | hinealy simply stated that Bobb had saluted him as ‘*Slippery Mike’’ on Fifth street and, on the cross-examintion, Bobb asked Kinealy whether he had not acquired the name of ‘Slippery Mike’’ by his general mode of doing business and practicing law, and whetner be did not deserve the title, which was given to him some time ago by a friend of his other than Bobb. The defendant asserts that if he is defeated he wilicarry the case tothe Supreme Court. A Neat Trick. John J. Kunz came before Acting Captain Kennett, at the Central District Police Station, this moruing, and reported that he had been swindled out of $10 by two confidence men. He is a saloon-xkeeper, doirg business at No. 204 North Twelfth street, and, at 9 o’clock this morning, two men called and purchased two giasses of beer, tendering a 20~=sObill inpayment. While Mr. Kunz was making the change, cne ofthe two asked if he could obe- tvin a ten dollar bill for two fives, and the affa- ble poison dispenser tossed out the required bill. It was pocketed by the second man, and the first securing his change, both walked out, No. 2 failing to leave the two fives. Some lit- tle time elapsed betore the saloon keeper discovered his lossand the men were away. From the description civen the police recog- nize the men as old confidence sharps.

Speaking of the taxation of banks and pank- ers the Comptroller said: One of the evil re- sults of the system has been to largely in- crease the rates of interest in the rural dis- tricts and thus to place its burden upon the people who of all others are least able to bear it.

[From Tuesday's New Orleans Times, } Some ten daysthe Times promised faithfully to give the exact truth from day to day in re- gard to yellow fever cases, should any occur. We have done so up to date, and will continue todosoaslong as there is any probability that the disease exists. There have been only three or, at the most, four deaths from yeliow fever in New Orleans thus far tunis season—the last one occurring on Thursday, July 31—since when (five days) there has not occurred a singie death in the city by the dread disease. And after a thorough and careful in: vestigation up to 6 o’olock last evening, not one single case could be found in the city. We are perfectly well satisfied with the re- sults of our course in publishing facts as they occur inthe matter, and greatly encouraged by the confidence we have gained by this course amongst our country readers, lLaving yesterday received intoimation from severai places up the Jackson Railroad thatin conse- quence of the course the Times has pur- sued in this matter and the contidence in our pledge for the future, Jackson, Terry and Byrain, in Hinds county, Mississippi, had raised their quarantines against New Urieans, andthat othe: places had called meetings for the saine purpose. We may, therefore, con- fidently look tor favorable action on all the line of this road within the next two days. This is sensible and proper, and Vicksbnrg and Natchez should at once follow suit. It will be unreasonable and unfriendly if they do not. We have little hope of Gaiveston acting in any manner other thanto keepthe quaran- tine on as long as thetemperof the people of Texas will permit them to continue it.

Evidence Given Before the Committee Examining the Cincinnati Election. By Western Associated Press. CINCINNATI, August 7.—At the Congres- sional investigation, Butterworth recalled Francis, who testified as follows: Know Tom Shay. His statement that I went from the polls with South Harrisis untrue. The state- ment that I said I **GOT MY WORK IN,’’ and had made over $200 on election days, untrue: never said anything of the kind he attributed to me. JOHN W. FORD testified he was employed by Frances to at- tend the polls at Cincinnati; was directed to report tothe Republican Committee; a man was at the polls’ in the second ward to watch Kentuckians coming here to vote: was there allday and didn’t vote; the election was quiet and orderly; saw no illegal voting. WM. ELLIS testified: Ama Councilman from the First Ward in Covington. Was at the Cincinnati election; told Jerry Reed I wanted-to see how the election was going. Reed and Francis said they wanted me to see that nobodv come over the river to vote. Was at the polls in the Fifth Ward all day; saw no Republican committee man; Francis paid me $3; never saw a more quiet election; did not deny being there that day; but did deny being with a party of men from from Covington. McDonald was with me at the polls; did not challenge any vote; heard nothing of such occurrence; did not vote. JOHN NIEHAUS, of Covington, testified: *‘Was employed to see that nobody from Covington yoted; reported to the tepublican com- mittee that a man at the _ polls near the waterworks was paid $3; don’t re- member signing a receipt; didn’t challenge a vote. had seen an illegal vote I would have challenged it; the eiectilon was orderly. Have no politics; didn’t vote. Never had to answer criminal charges; Morris Mooney was my captain at the election,and I was to report to him; Watson was my partner. Samuel Kilbourn, of Covington, testified in substance as did Niehaus. JOHN FARRELL, of Covington, was watching the Nineteenth Ward polls. Saw no illegal vote; saw no United States Marshals or supervisors. WM. GILBERT. of Covington, testified: Watched Thirteenth Ward; saw nothing wrong. FREEZING-OUT. More Trouble in the Camp of the Times-Journal. Chambers Adopts the Plan of Stopping the Pay of Editors and Reporters, To Get Rid of Hume and Wolcott and Install Miichell as Managing Editor. Some time ago the Times-Journal tell into trouble. Mr. B. M. Chambers, the proprietor, became dissatisfied with the wav the paper wasrun. Hedesiredto get rid of Mr. Geo. Hume, the managing editor, and Mr, W.Woll- eott, the advertising canvasser. The Times- Journal didn’t ‘*boom’’ sufficiently to satisfy Mr. Chambers. sSo be brougbt on Mr. A. 8. Mitcbell from New York to take managerial charge ot the paper. But the contemplated change didn’t please Messrs. Hame and Wol- eott. They were loth to depart from their po- sitions on the hyphenated independent sheet. In tact, tliey refused point blan« to accede to Mr. Chambers’ polite and urbane request to **step down and out.’”’ They averred that a partnership existed; that there was a contract between Chambers and themselves for five years, which the former could not break. For a day or two ehaos prevailed in the editorial and reportorial roums of the T.-J. At last, however, it seemed to the public that Mr. Chambers bad backed down from bis position. He did notinduct Mitchell into the managerial chair, and Hume centinugd to wield the editorial tripoa. Wolcott became as bland as ever, attended ‘‘Pinafore’’ per- formances at Uhrig’s and solicited **ads’’ as otf yore. The clouds had passed Once more the counting- house department and the brain department of the T.-J. WERE IN ACCORD. A trwee was proclaimed and the iudependent daily wus issued without a change in its columns. The same ponderons, dull, dry and uninviting ‘‘leaders’’ appeared on the editorial page. In fact, to be expreasive,every- thing was ‘‘hunky-dory.’’ Meanwhile would-be Manager Mitchell felt like a tUsh out of water. He was an editor without a paper. In his dire extremity he published his salutatory inthe PostT-DIsPATCH. He en- tered the limes-Journai office, but never ven- turcd to mount the stairs leading to the editor- ial rooms, In short, to use the expressive phraseology of the poet of the 17.-J., the ‘* Journal pair held the fort,’’ Matters ran on thus for abouta couple of weeks. Editors, reporters and compositors waxed giad and rejoiced exceedingly that once more the ‘‘aucats’’ fellinto their bands with regu- larity. sut alas! achange came o’er the spirit of their dream. This week Mr. Chambers re- newed hostilities. Pay day came around and the bearts of the attaches were light. But blessed is he that expected nothing, torhe was not disappointed. Thecashier came around; the compositors received their stamps; the girls also received their due, but the man with the cash-box passed by the editors and report- ers. Then was heard weeping and wailing and GNASHING OF TEETH. Rose Fieid took 18 tuning-fork and visited Uhbrig’s to drowp’ his grict in the strains of ‘*Pinafore.’’ Eugene indited a witty ballad te the ‘‘Penniless Paragrapher.’’ Stevens mut- tered, with bated breath, anathemas dire and vile, and would not be comforted. Dyer borrowed a nickel and drained the bitter dregs in a giass of the toamy. Thornton sallied forth de- spondingly to his usual haunt in Kerry Patch. Brooks, in desperation, fell bac npon his customary cure, and interview ed the Police Commissioners. But Messrs. Hume and Wolcott were undisturbed. Although minus their salary, they had the roud consciousness that they beld the fort. ume jocked up bis editorial room, but other- wise maintained a bland exterior. Such 1s the situation. Mr. Chambers has ey!i- dently resolved upon the ‘‘freezing-out’’ pro- cess. The salaries of the editors and reporters » will no longer be paid. It they work they work tor the love et it. It remains to be seen how long the ‘*freezing-out’’ process willlast. Rumor hath it that Mr. Mitchell will be installed ia the editorial chair next Monday at all haz So the condition ot affairs on the Times-Journal is critical for the staff at the present moment. This afternoon a conference is being held be- tween Mr. Chambers and Hume, but no ar- rangement has yet been arrived at. In couversation with several péovie Mr. Mitchel! bas expressed great dissatistaction at Mr. Cbhambers’ conduct. He claims that he was not poe informed as to the trae status of affairs in the Times-Journal office, and that air. Chambers had shown very little ‘*backbone’’ in the matter, and had not taken a firm stand. It is said that City Editor Stevens has nos given the staff — assiguments to-day, and that they will yeluse ta work unicas she **staimps’’ are torthcoming.

Proceedings of the Strikers at Vorwaerts Hall this Morning. The meeting of the striking cooper: at Vor- waerts Hall was not calied to order this morning until 10 o’clock, and a reporter of the POST- DISPATCH, taking advantage of the time, caijed at the Empire Mills, corner of Second and Webster streets, the place to get the other side of the strike. MR. JAYNES, proprietor of the shop, was standing in front of the institution with a satisied look, and Ifa- tening to the miscellanconssounds that spoke of the industry going on within. ‘*You are a reporter, are you?’’ inquired Mr. Jaynes,afier the visitor had made known his mission. ‘*Yes, sir.’’ ‘*Well, comein. I am giad you are here; but Ihaven’t much confidence in reporters, be- cause several have called on me since the strike begun, and, in every case, misrepresented me,.’’ THE REPORTER'S MISSION. The reporter assured him that he was con- nected with ajournal whose main object was to give the news ubout twelve hours in advance of other papers ot the city, correct in every detail, and would report his cause aright. He was hereupon conducted through the im- mense establishment, which has a capacity of turring out 5,000 Darrels daily. Mr. Jayncs said he was employing 125 persons, principally boys, who were making over 2,000 purrels a day, which was enough to supply the demand of his customers, LHe said he did not consider bis manufactory a cooper sbop at all. All bis barrels were MADE BY MACHINERY, with tne exception of the hooping part, which was done by hand, awd an yone with the least commen sense could learn the art in a day,and after a week’s experience could easily make troni one to two dollars per day. ‘*‘Do you mean they ceuld esrnthat much urder the old prices paid coopers?’’ asked the reporter. ‘*‘No, sir,’’ was the prompt answer. eee mean underthe waxes the coopers now on strike demand, and which | commenced to yay two weeks before any mill inthe city which jas signed the contract.’’ NEVER WILL. ‘* Do you intend to sign this contract?’’ ‘‘No,’’ emphatically, **never!’’ ‘Why?’ ‘*Because Ido not wishto employ coopers; this is not a cooper shop, avd besides I have thousands of dollars invested in this business and do not wish to be dictated to by a of men whom I consider unreliable in every re- spect.’’ see A COMMON PROCEEDING. ‘‘Have your men ever struck betore?'’ ‘*Yes; every year they go through the same farce you have witnessed the past thirty days, and believe they incited to it by the boss coopers ot shops who manutacture hand-mace barrels, and who urge this strike in order to deplete the market so as to make contracts satisfacto- ry tothemselves with the millers.’’ MR. JAYNES’ ADVANTAGE. Mr. Jaynes then said that his shon mangfac- tured barrels from the tree, and as he way not compeiied to purchase the material as hand-made shops were, of course bis pi ofits were more, and hence the hostility and jealousy prevailing among the shonrs in quesiion. The majority of the persons now employed in Mr. Jaynes’ shop are waking two dollars a day, white the lowest wages paid ure torty are cents, which are received by swall boys, who do little or nothing. The rapidity with whic! the | work is secomplished would lead any one to be lieve that this instit ation is employingthe best of skilled labor, and an inspection of the bar- rels turned out would have no tendency to cause a change of opimion.

The Sir. king Coopers. Ore ronth aco to-day the coopers held their first mecting at Vorwaerts Hall, and took the first step towards the strike that now contin- ues with as much persistency as the day it was inavgurated. At 10 o’ciock this morning the mecting was called to order, Mr. Coffey inthe chair. The arbitration committee reported that Mr. Samasiek was not furnishing barrels to the Belcher sugar refinery, butfor the East St. Louis sugar refinery. A communication from Hermann, Mo., and one from Dundas, MWinn., containing contribu- trons ana words ot encoura‘sement, were read and placed on file. Mr. Fiali stated thatthe men and coopers working at the Pacitic Mills were willing to give filieen per cent. oi their wages weekly towards aiding the strike. Messrs. Lain and Gobelmere were'appoiated asa committee to visit Belleville, Ill., and so- licit subscriptions from coal miners and other workingmen. Mr. Frank Remington and James Bruce, two coopers of East St. Louis, offered to pay the expenses of this trip, which was accepted by the strikers. After a tew speeches, the meeting adjourned until to-morrow. THE DRAMATIC SEASON At De Bar’s Opera-House and the Olympic. Brilliant Array of Attractions Al- ready Secured.

Tury have a fasting girl in Reading, Pa., who has not taken a bite of food for nearly forty dayS. The story is well writ- ten, but does not display a tithe of the in- genuity shown in getting up snake stories to fill up with during the dull season. Gov. Roprnson, of New York, thinks that te issues should enter in- tate election. With a view of intro- ducing a purely local issue into the State election he has removed a Tammany Police Commissioner to make room for a Tilden man. The Governor’s manner is child-like and bland. It appears from the testimony before the Investigating Committee in Cincinnati that at an election held there once one of the can- didates gave aman some money ‘‘to spend among the boys.’’ This is quite amazing, ut if we were to vacate all the offices of hich the incumbents had spent money ng the boys it is to be feared that very Ww would be left undisturbed. THE adjournment of the Municipal As- bly until October 14 will postpone all ttigmpts to operate.the railroads in the city limits by horse-power. In the meanwhile it would be a good investment to send the House of Delegates passes to Chicago that they might take a look at the way that city is occupied by railroads and the fortitude with which the people endure their pres- ence. A new terror is added to the calamity of office-holding by the recént attempt to mur- der Collector Badger in New Orleans. The would-be murderer had once held an office, but had been removed. No one who has held an office is ever fit to earn a liv- ing afterwards, and the victim of office- holding sank through idleness to starva- , and from starvation to murder.

Avery slight amount of common sense would teach this much to the most gushing and sentimental of con- gregations, but that modicum of sense was lacking in Murray’s flock. IT is just as well to call things by their right names, and the Coroner’s jury who have been inguiring into the death of Gard- ner have a case of murder on their hands. The enormity of the crime is not palliated by the bad character of the murdered man, for his murderer had no knowledge of his character; he merely saw & man running down the street and killed him. If the deed was done by a policeman, the offense is only aggravated, as a policeman is bound by his position and his instructions to know that his duty is to protect human life, not The recklessness with which the police take the law into their own hands does not change the law, and it ought not to influence public opinion to The to destroy it. extenuate any stretch of authority. man who killed Gardner is a murderer, matter whether he was a policeman or a private citizen. THE DEAD HAND. The common law of Pennsylvania, as ex- pounded by the highest court of the State, a widow $20,000 Consid- has recently fined for the offense of marrying again. ering the frequency of the offense, and the mitigating circumstances which usually ac- company it, the fine seems to be rather a heavy one, and the law which imposes it should be declared an uncommon law. It adds to the strangeness of the case that the fine was inflicted not in consequence of a public prosecution, but to gratify the pri- vate malice of a citizen who is dead, and consequently ought to have no voice in say- ing what punishment should be inflicted for the crime of preferring a live husband to a dead one. It is only natural that a husband who has already passed to the land of shades should reason that any widow would be happier contemplating the memory of the of her dear departed than in enjoying such connubial felicity as may be derived from the companionship of an inferior successor; but it is not natural to find the law of the land giving the wishes of the dead a preference over the rights of the If dead people object to proper and rea$onable ar- in virtues living. rangements for happiness made by the living itis fair tolet their objections have just such weight as can be enforced by the dead, but inany sensible scheme of law the welfare of the living will be made to outweigh any posthumous wishes, and in any conflict between the two the decision of the Pennsylvania Court will be reversed. It is astonishing how hard itis for the light of reason and common sense to prevail over the antiquated absurdities bequeathed to us, or rather entailed on us by the com- mon law.of England. If in the existing state of civilization acode of laws- were to e originated and designed solely with refer- ence to the condition of society, no one would dream of giving a dead man power over any property which he no longer possesses. Every sensible and unprejudiced mind would recognize that the property of the world belonged wholly and exclusively to the living, tenure should be respected only when made between those capable of making bargains and = that which willfully and maliciously interfered with the happiness of the living should have no bind- ing force whatever. This would be the view of an unprejudiced mind, but the law has inherited all the prejudices of British stupidity in the last thousand years, and clings mere closely to the errors of the common law than to its merits. From this point of view the prohibition of a widow’s marrying has adouble recom- mendation. It not only furnishes an illus- tration of the sanctity of the last wishes of the testator, but it asserts in the most striking manner the husband’s ownership in his wife as achattel. Concerning the sanc- tity of last wishes we are of the opinion of the young gentleman in Byron’s farce ‘“Engayed,’’ who, when the lady tells him that she will bless him with her latest breath, says that he never could see why a blessing given with one’s latest breath should have any higher value than one given in a healthful state of respiration. Even the stupid old common law would not re- spect a covenant between living people, that bargains relating to its wills and bequests which contained a_ clause prohib- iting matrimony, but it seems to find some _ special sanctity in the latest breath of anybody who has quit breathing. As for the husband’s owner- ship of his wife after heis dead, we can only wish that the boot might be tried on the other leg, and that some fond and dying wife, possessed of property in her own right, might with her latest breath condemn her mourning widower to perpetual celib- acy. It would take but a few such cases to open the eyes of the sterner sex to the wickedness of prohibitions in matrimony, and to change the law which has just fined the Pennsylvania widow. ——_—. - THE publication in the Post-DiIsPATcH, yesterday, of the opinions of different members of the police force as to the right to shoot has had the good effect of calling the attention of the Board of Police Com- missioners to the confusion which exists among even the most intelligent and trusty members of the force on that point, and we are glad to hear that very positive instructions will be prepared, and that each policeman will be made acquaint- ed with the limits of his authority. It is of the highest importance that there should be no confusion in this matter, as it can lead only to damage to the innocent and to the escape of the guilty. A great many people were surprised after the capture of Rande, the noted desperado, to learn that it owas exceedingly doubtful whether he could be punished for killing one of the officers who arrested him ; it is very doubtful whether Sanders, the no’ é : ‘% bs, eae , 0 a ¥ f’ # —, : = a t conception “of © the rights, ‘utils and anthority of the police is - needed quite as. much in justice to the force as for the public. They are called on without notice to deal with desperate characters, and, at the best, itis very hard for them to determine just what is the best course forthem. Mistaken gentleness may lead to their own death, mistaken severity may involve them in technical murder. The best assistance they can have in avoiding both extremes is to know exactly just how far their authori- ty extends and under what circumstances they dre justified in using their revolvers.

With the Nation’s Capital in the hands of traitors, the low but deep murmurs of a detrauded people grow into sullen reverbera- tions, That gather, gather, gather: And rumbling overthe graves of a dead heroes, whoseemto have died that the Nation might live, They ro]! grandly into tne awakened hearts of tnirty million living patriots, And break on the ears of the world, Booming, booming, booming For Grant in 1880. Transcendentalism, gush, reconciliation, and all other tricks of reconstruction are played out. Exit doves, olive branches, and fol-de-rol, Grant and gunpowder, Grant and bayonets, Grant and the gallows for traitors. Grant and the grand old Union army on the top shelf. Grant in the Presidential chair—his Congress and Cabinet taken from the grim warriors who saved the Union to preserve it,— And to stay there till the crack of doon, if the integrity of the Republic requires tt. It was the sword ofthe Fathers that created the Republic; 1t was the sword of their sons that defended it against ftoreigh foes; it was the sword of their grandsons that rescued it from hell-born domestic treason. To the army we Owe our creation, preserva- tion, redemption. From the ranks of the civilian and the states- man have come the imbeciles and blathering impracticables, gushing sentimentalists and diabolistic traitors. They may do when peach blossoms and butterflies dance in the calm sunbeams of peace ; But, when Treason stalks at noonday inthe Nation’s Capital, The sword must be unsheathed, the soldier must step to the front. Shot and shell, grape and canister, are the only arguments traitors can understand. Washington, Jackson, Grant— Why, all the so-called statesmen the country has produced would not make a respectable shadow of this immortal trinity of warriors. Washington is dead, ana Jaekson is dead; but all that was great and good in both lives in Grant. The crisis is on us—brought on us by soft- headed, blundering romancers, as ignorant of human nature as they were of human history. They called themselves statesmen, They sent the army to the rear. They tore the unform from the backs of the Union soldiers, the men who had saved the Re- public. And howled, ‘‘Git! We’ll manage the affairs of this Nation. ‘*You fellows with bayonets and epaulettes are dangerous. ‘*We'll run the machine.’’ And they have run it—these statesmen, They’ve run it to the devil, In less than fifteen years trom the day when Grant gave the blood-cemented fragments to the keeping of the statesmen. It was a grand day that, too, when, within the shadow of the nation’s Capitol, he handed hissword and areunited republic to Old Abe Lincoln. There were tattcred banners, torn to shreds by shot and shell from traitors’ guns. There were grim, blood-stained warriors, a half million, more or less. And there were a million new made graves. But there was not a traitorin the Capitol of the United States that day. But that day has passed,and Old Abe Lincoln is dead. And to-day, in the corridors of tke Capitol, in the seats where Lovejoy, and Sumner, and Webster and Giddings sat, In the Senate and House of Representatives, the once shattered Rebel army makes laws for the Republic, And Union soldiers go about humbly with bated breath. This is to-day. Another Grant Boomer. {From the Okolona States (Aug. 6). ] Yes; the Radical party has madeits last tri- umphant foray upon therights of the States and the people.

The Starting Up of Four Blast Far- naces in Carondelet. A New Rolling Mill to be Built by the St. Louis Stamping Co. An English Manufacturer Looking After the Establishment of Bessemer Steel Works, Tne manutacture ofironin St. Louis is an infantindustry. It had hardly begunto show signs of life before the panic of 1873 came on and crushed it almost out of existence. Mis- souri is an iron-producing State, but her mines have been but lightly worked. It is simply known that there are iron-flelds here that will require ages to exhaust and that in them lies unmtold wealth tor the generationstocome. Bat tor five years these vast unexplored mines have been waiting tor the return of prosperity. Some six weeks ago there was observable an increase in the demand for manufactured iron, and there was atonce a throb of activity throughoutthe ironinterests of the whole country. It was felt in the East and it was felt inthe West. Itis felt to-dayin St. Louis. It has never needed a vast amount of perspica- city to see that St. Louis would one day be a great iron-manufacturing center. With such a boundless supply of ore as exists in the State it could not well be otherwise. With cheap labor, cheap fuel, an abundance of wa- ter, boundless stores of raw material just at hand, and A GROWING DEMAND for the manufactured product throughout the great West and Southwest, what more could be necessary; it was most unfortun- ate tor the iron industry here thatthe panic of 1873 came when it did. Large amounts Of money had just been ex- pended in the erection of works,and there was not time enough given for any substantial re- muneration to be derived before the blow fell and stifled the young and promising move- ment. The result was that St. Louis has been compelled to see millions of tons of Missouri iron ore go to the furnaces of Pennsylvania and Obio, and see millions of dollars’ worth ot steel rails and other species of manufactured iron come back from the rolling mills of those States. But it must not be supposed that St. Louis and Missouri have been the chiet sufferers in the depression ofthe iron industry. The last re- port of the American Iron and Steel Associa- tion (issued in 1878), under the head of ‘‘Re- centiy Abandoned Furnaces,’’ shows the number of abandoned furnacesin seven great iron-producing States to be as follows: MOW TOPKé ccccoccce Bad 060600) b00608seebetedoduus 5 PONNSVIVATMIB.occcccccccccccce sccccces TITTTTTT 18 Pee Pere ere 3 MORGWORT oo ccccvcovesccscescccesvecsocesbosesece 5 CPRIEDs be ccecccccoteoscctes concesecessvbseobhesotons 4 Michigan........

It may now be confidently expected that there will be A REVIVAL of the iron industry here. First comes an increased demand for Missou- ri ore. The principal mining companies of St. Louis have all the orders they can fill. Theiron Mountain Mining Com- pany bave sold out forthe year—that is, they have enough orders ahead to keep them going at their full capacity till January 1, 1880. The Pilot Knob Company have heavy orders from the Edgar Thompson works ofr Pittsburg, and are working a _ full force. As yet there has been no advance in the price ot pig iron, but there undoubtedly will be at the beginningofthe next year. The price of pig iron is generally fixed about the first of January and runs through the entire year. But there has been a decided advancein manufac- tured iron. Steel rails cannot be bought to-day in Pittsbure at the prices that ruled two months ago, and the mills there are generally three weeks behind with their orders. The effect of all these favorable circumstances will soon be apparent in St. Louis in the way of an increased activity in the PRODUCTION OF MANUFACTURED IRON. At present the following are the rolling mills here, with their annual capacity: Laclede Rolling Mill—Built in 1850; 1 double and 18 single puddling furnaces, 7 heating furnaces and 4 trains of rolls; product, flat rails, bar, sheet and plate iron, rail fastenings and blooms; annvral ca- pacity, 12,000 net tons. This mill is under- going a complete reconstruction, which is noticed elsewhere. Harrison Wire Works—Built and started in 1873; 1 single and 1 double puddling furnace, 4 beating furnaces, 2 blooming fires, 1 ham- mer, 162 wire blocks, and1 18-inchandl1 §8.- inch train rolls. Product,tiron wire and wire mill specialities. Annual capacity, 5,000 tons. St. Louis Bolt and Iron Company—Works put in operation January, 1873; 2 single and 2 double puddling furnaces, 4 heat- ing furnaces, 2 trains or rolls, 3 spike machines, one bolt header, three bolt cutters and two nut tappers; reroll Bessemer steel; product, bariron, light T and street rails, fish plates, bolts, washers and spikes and Bessemer steel tire. Helmbacher Forge and RolHing Mills—Built in 1858; seven single puddling furnaces, nine car all kinds forgings for railroad and steamboat use; annual capac- itv, 10,000 net tons. St. Louis Steam Forge and Iron Works. Built in 1862; 3 double puddling furnaces, 5 heat- ing turnaces, 2 trains of rolls, 2 hammers; pro- duct, ratlroad work, car axles, cranks, con- necting rods, locomvutive forgings and steam- boat work; annual capacity of rolling mill 4,- 800 net tons. The Tudor Iron Works- Built in 1870. Product 6,000 nettons. Nowidle. Vulean Iron Works—Built in 1872; eighteen double and two single puddling furnaces, seventeen heating furnaces and three tweuty- two-inch trains of rolls, productiron and Bes- semer steel rails. Capacity, 50,00U net tons. The Tudor Iron Works and the Vulcan [ron Works have both been idle for some time, hav- ing been COMPELLED TO SHUT DOWN in consequence of the fearful depression of the times. The Vulcan Works are among the inost extensive in tne country, and, when run- ning, did a business amounting to over $2,- 000,000 a year. The companyis now inthe Bessemer steel rail pool, from which they have been drawing $60,000 perannum. This pool dissolves on the lst of next October, and it is believed that if the present tavorable indica- tions continue, the Vulcan Works will start up late in the fall. The officers of the company have already been making investiga- tions looking towards the purchase of a large quantity of raw material. The Tudor Works will probably not resume for some time. The Laclede Rolling Millis being practically reconstructed and rebuilt, with a view to meet- ing the increase Of business. The proprietors are putting in five new Siemens turnaces, two new large engines, and one heavy plate train, which will roll six-foot plutes—a thing never before done in st. Louis. The Harrison Wire Works, the Helmbach- er Forge and Rolling Mills, the 8t. Louis Steam Forge and Iron Works and the St. Louis Bolt and Iron Company are all doing S good business and are in a prosperous condi- tion. The St. Louis Stamping Company are just now beginning to erect A MEW ROLLING MILL for the production of sheet iron, to be used in their own extensive granite-ware manufac- tory. The works are to be erected at Angelrodt and Main, and will be very complete in évery department. The ground has already been purchasedjand staked off to-day, and the work of building is to be commenced immediately and carried for- ward with all possible speed. Heretofore the Stamping pepe has purchased allits tron in England, it being impossibie to procure the proper kind in this country. The building of unother rolling mill for the production of a va- riety of iron that has heretofore been imported is an event of much significance and points to wonderful changes in the future. Another sign of the revival of the iron indus- try in St. Louis is the tact that there are now in full operation four blast furnaces in Oaronde- let. it has not been long since there was not a single one of the furnaces there in biast. Some time a two of them started up, and aid 80 satisfactorily that two more have ndreds o men have been given employment and there is a halo in the sky that betokens the approach of * There is now in the Qty « gentleman = ~, iter a cs ‘i *... pre 2 pesaae to Kot the news oalees ’ of nis -— th these of acti , no one can doubt that sis now about to take steps to gain position as an iroa-prodac- ing center to which her location and many other advan entitie her, The prodact ot all the fron mills bere does not now amount in value to over $3,000,000 and in tons to over 40,000; but in less than twelve months in need not be surprising if St. Louis miils produce 100,000 tons, worth over $7,000,000. - — AMUSEMENTS. UHRIG'’S CAVE. The unfavorable weather again interfered with the performance at Uhrig’s Cave last evening. To-nignt, however, the programme will be carried out wet or dry. If the weather is rainy the cool hall will be utilized. ‘‘Trial by Jury’’ and ‘*Pinafore’’ will be produced on the occasion of Miss Esther Butler’s compli- mentary benefit, and the popular benefictaire wili appear in each operetta. The warm appreciation with which the West-enders regard Miss Butler should this evening take a substantial form, and Uhrig’s should havejthe ‘*biggest audience’’ ofthe season. Miss But- ler, from her advent among us, was received with great favor, which did not wane on closer acquaintanceship. filer numerous triends here will bear her in grateful remembrance and will testify by their presence this evening to her well-deserved popularity. To-morrow night ‘*The Bells of Corneville’’ wili be given for the last time. BODEMANN'S GARDEN. ‘*Pinafore,’’ a burlesque on Gilbert and Sul- livan’s famous operetta, is nightly performed at Bodemann’s Garden. It is a unique performance in its way, and has at least the credit of creating considerable mirth amongst the spectators. Although during the last two evenings the weather proved so un- favorable, ‘‘Pinafore’’ sailed as smoothly in troubled waters as during the halcyon days of calm. It is a deserving feature of this company thatin spite of the slim audiences, owing to the rain, they resolutely kept taith with the public, and went through the performance at a loss. The garden is covered 80 that the audience is protected from the weather. On Sunday evening Mrs. Emma Mettler Howard will be the recipient of a compliment- ary benefit. This lady won high approbation at the beginning of the sun:mer season by her artistic rendering of Josephine at Uhrig’s,and, though she has deserted the West for the South- end, her ola friends will remember her. She worthily deserves the benefit that has been tendered her. The programme will consist of ‘*Trial by Jury’’ and ‘‘Pinatore.’’ ‘ LOCAL GOSSIP. Mr. J. H. Rennie and his wife (Miss Tillie Mc- Henry), with their sprightly little daughter Annie, have been definitely engaged by J. K. Emmet for next Season. Mr. Rennie will remain in town until Mr. Emmet’s arrival ‘‘Our Fritz’’ opens his seasen at De Bar’s. Randolph was thoroughliv disgusted with the rain. He bas anew uniform for the Captain, and as he was unable to display it to an audi- ence on Tuesday night he consoled himself with donning it in the dressing-room, and exhibit- ing itto his sister and brother artists. Look out for that splendid untform to-night. Chris. Nunz, the genial proprietor of Uhrig’s, will be tenderéd a monster benefit before the ciose of the season. Itissaid that a new dog-drama will be produced on that occasion, in which Chris, ‘‘Chrischen’’ and ‘‘The Bull’’ will be special features. The irrepressible ‘‘By the Lord Harry’’ of Dick Deadeye renown is combative as ever. With the accumulated pyramid of degrees he has obtained in England, from D. D. to A. 8. S., hebas acquired a profound contempt for the St. Louis press. Heisa persecuted man. It is sad to think that the world resolutely ix- nores the artistic qualities of the greatest and most original (?) D. D. But, seriously, ‘‘By the Lord Harry,’’ unless he wishes to become the Count Joannes or Berry Mitchell ot Pinatore should tone down the exuberances and eccentricities of his volatile nature. ‘‘A fool ts wise in his own conceit.’’ Even in the nine- teenth century it is impossible to convince some minds that the worid moves. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible thatthe 499,999 of the half-million people of St. Louis should be able to cohvince the remaining unit that he is not the greatest D. D. in the universe. ——— oe ee Ee DWELLING IN THE GROUND.

The Man Who Ate Thirty Snakes—The Deadly Cobra and Other Horrible Reptiles and Monstrosities. The Deadly Cobra. [From the N. Y. Sun./ Once I stood with Dr. Fayrerin his studio when be was about to make an experiment to determine the rapidity with which a cobra’s poison would doits work. In the middle of the room was a wooden box containing a four- foot cobra, which had been confined there without food for three days, and was in a hor- rible state of rage, and was stocked with ven- om. Nottrar from the door ofthe box was a large dog of greater strength and vitality thaa an uverage man. Iie was chained, and nearly all the hair had been shaved fromone of his hind legs. Ata signal from the Doctor, an assistant pulled a string, the door of the box rose, and the cobra, with a cord tied aronnd his tail, glided out like astreak of light. The unfortunate dog had been anxiously watching the vox for some minutes, and giving vent to his uneasiness by alow whining noise. The moment he saw the snake coming out he was throwninto an ago- ny of terror, asis nearly every animal when he sees a cobra,albeit he has never set eyes upon one before. -Evervbody in the room stood asfar away from the snake as possi- ble, the assistant holding the string that was attached to the reptile’s tail; ina second the cobra had fastened its eyesupon the dog, which was the object nearest to it, and rising from its tail, it assumed its horrible position ot attack. Then, launching its body lke lightning through the intervening space, it fastened itsjfangs tair- ly in the center of the bare, conzpicuous spot upon the dog’s flank. Instantly the assistant pullea the string and dragged the writh- ing reptile from its hold, and Dr. Fayrer seized the injured part of the dog’s leg between the thumb and first finger of his left band, and with aclean, swift sweep of his scalpel cut it out down to the bone. Remedies weie at once applied to stop the bleeding and stimulants were viven, butin a few minutes the dog begun to exhibit those symptoms of drowsiness that always precede death from the bite of a cobra. Every effort was made to arouse him, but within a little more than twenty minutes from the time the snake bit him the dog luy dead on the floor. Hoop Snakes. [From the Yellville (Ark.) Sabre. ] Dr. Alvord, County Clerk Masterson and Mr. Leahy bave just returned from a hunt on Sa- line Fork, where they witnessed one of the strangest instances ot instinct in reptiles that it has ever been our lot tochronicle. The party had stationed themselves in the tree- platforms about Yokum Blue Lick, and were waiting for deer, which come there at dawn, The lick is right at the bottom of a steep hill, and Dr. Alvord suddenly noticed something like ahoop come rolling down the hill and across the wet lick. It was followed by three others, which rolled to where it had stopped. Mr. Leahy called out, ‘‘Hoop snakes, by God! Watch them, boys.’’ The snakes played around for a few min- utes, and then, resuming their former positions, standing on edge with their tails in their mouths, deliberatly began toroll up the hill. The gentlemen rubbea their eyes and looked again—tbere they were, rolling up hill just as quickly and easily as they had rolled down. At first the party agreed not to say any- thing aboutthe matter as they feared their story would not be believed. But Col. Stark, at whose plantation they passed the next night, explained to them that the hoop snake has the curious property of being able to thicken himseif a little in frontof his point of contact with the ground, and to keep this part of himself heavier than the balance; hence, as the center of gravity falisin front of the base, the snake can’t belp revolving in any direction in which he keeps his ‘‘wad.’’ The ‘‘wad,’’ of course, passes around the full length of the snake in each revolution, while keeping its relative po- sition at the same time. A False Prophet, [From the Sumner County (Kan. ) Press. | I have been intormed by an eye-witness that one ofour citizens, a Mr. Lee Wilson, met with a very serious accidenton Tuesday of last week while trying to handle a rattlesnake near Mr. Walcott’s. It appears that some time last spring Mr. Wilson embraced the Mormon faith, and was set apart as a preacher, which, ac- cording to their taith, qualified him to handie serpents, eat poison, impart the Holy Spirit and heal the sick by the imposition of hands. Since that time Mr. Wilson and others of his faith have been testing these powers by pretending to heal the sick y laying onhands and by plaving the part ot snake charmer. Toconvince the Rev. A. B. Smith of his wonderful powers in handling serpents, Mr. Wilson dispatched a messenger to Mr. Walcott’s, near by, where Mr. Smith was. to bave him come down and witness his handling the rattiesnake, which he was carrying along in hishat. Mr. Smith did not go, but returned a message tothe prophet, informing him that the same men who handled venomous ser- pents in apostolic times could also eat poison, and that be had some with him—the same tbat he had offered to Mr. Annis during the debate last spring; and thatif he would come up and eatthat be would believe, adding at the sametime that he hoped Wilson would get bitten if be persisted in handling his cap- tive. Shortly afterwara Wilson started in the direction of Mr. Robinson’s, when the serpent fastened on one of his hanas. Atthe last ac- count Mr. Wilson’s hand was ter- ribly swollen, so that he could not work on the roads nor be healed by the other prophets. Terrible Death of a Greaser. [From the Canon County (Utah) Vigilante. | Several Mexicans werein camp atthe mouth of Mephis Creek, and were lying about the camp fire, when one ofthem, Telesforo Crucas, felt something crawl off his shoe onto his leg. He was paralyzed to see a large centipede, fully nine inches in length, traveling slowly over his flesh. Knowing thatthe least motion would makeit sink its deadly claws into his skin, without moving his leg he got out his revolver and waited unti the brute got almost to his knee, when, slowly putting the mouth of the pistol to its head, he pulled loose and the centipede was gone. But a centipede’s claws ure quicker than npowder, and Crucas began tocrampina ew minutes, the track of the reptile along his leg turned a brownish vellow. and the place where it was killed swelled up frightfullv. Cru- cas rapidly grew worse, and in a little over four hours he died in great agony. Butthe most singular part of the story is, that the bullet from Crucas’ pistol cut a small nick lp the foreleg of a mule that was tethered near-by, a wound that could be cov ered with a lead pencil, and yet at daylight next morning the mule was also dead, with its leg 80 swollen that theskin had burst in sever- al places. Five Barrels of Snakes. {From the Cincinnati Commercial. | Jonathan Rockwell ,jof Sciotoville, Ohio, re- cently purchased five empty whisky barrels and stored them inan outbuilding to be used for cider barrels. Near the outbuilding there isa ledgeof rocks containing many fissures and openings, which has always been ‘‘a bad place tor snakes.’’ Yesterday Mr. Rockwell visited the outbuilding, and on opening the door he noticed a number of snakes crawling into the bungholes ot the whisky Parrels. Quick as thought he got the bungs and drove them into the barrels and secured the snakes. He then uttempted to ru)! the barreis out of the building but found them too beavy to handle without assistance. Hethen cailedin four men, who armed themselves with hickory clubs. The bung was taken out of one barrel and some hot water was poured in, and the snakes began to come out so rapidly that allof the men were kept busy with clubs kcillingthem. The next barrel was treated in the same manner untilall the five barrels were emptied. The total num- ber of snakes killed was 2,153. Noone pre- tends to account for the snakes getting into the barrels. The affidavits of our best and most reliable citizens will substantiate this story beyond any doubt. The snakes weie not all large ones, but there were none less than a foot in length, while many were six or seven fect long. Eating Rattlesnakes. [From the New Haven Union. } GROTON, CONN., August 3.—Mr. James Bel- den is one ot the most respected ot Groton’s citizens, but the force of his example will hard- ly lead the average nan or women intoone of his methods of making sure that rattlesnakes are exterminatea. Whenin the far West he made the acquaintance of aman who watched the snakes and knew where they hibernated. When they bad become torpid this individual would go and dig them out, cut off their heads, skin them, have them cooked, and eat them. Mr. Belden last year had thirty snakes, ‘*enough to make two messes,’’ put down in brine in layers. Their heads had, of course, been cut off and their skins removed. They were taken from the barrel of brine, smoked and hung up, and afterward they were tried like eels. .

White of Boston, were returning from Cow Isl- and, where they had been fishing for mackerel, they saw a lurge fin apparently three teet high and equally as ioug, rise from the water. Watching carefully, they saw about thirty-five feet trom it something which resembled the tailofa whale and also the vack, connecting the fin and tail of the monster, which appeared nbout five feet wide. It remained in this post- tion tullya minute and sank slowly, only to rise again directly astern of their boat and less thanten feet from them. They were unable even to get a glimpse of the head, as it was all the time under water, Dut they both saw the part described above, and consider themselves fortunate in not having their boat overturned. The monster. when first seen, wus about balf winy between Peak’s Island and Diamond Cove, going in the direction of (‘ow Island. The young men are both positive that the tigures given are less than the actual measurement. A Faithful Mourner. [From the Cincinnati Star. ] Several vears ago a gentleman living in Fav- ette county, Ky., owned a yellow dog, to which he became greatiy attached. The gen- tleman sickened and died and was buriedin the cemetery here, The dog followed the re- meins of his master tothe grave, remained at the grave forseveral davs andthen returned to the city, where he has staid «ver since. Bulger, for that is the dog’s name, makes daily visits to his former maste:’s grave, stays a tew hours and then returns. He foilowsall funeral proces sions passing through the city. The other day, while lying in front of a store, he saw a funeral cortege going by. Instantly springing up, he ran out into the street, to the side of the hearse, gave three dismal bowis, and took his poner in the procession. Numerous: efforts bave een made to entice Bulger to his former home in the country, but without avail. Everybody knows him; heis never allowed to suffer for want of food or a place to sivep, and when he dies be will be decently buried. Tarantulas at Wholesale Rates. [From the Weekly Winnemucan. ] When Mr. Nat. Silver took his last summer’s linnen duster out of the clothes press, it was a good thing for himthat he didn’t rifle the pockets in his usual energetic style, or he night not be around totell the tale which he poured into oar sympathetic ear this moraing. He took hold of theend ofa handkerchicfin one of the pockets and pulled itout. To his norror it was covered with tarantulas, nearly all of them smail, but full of poison and fight. While he was gazing at them two enormous tarantulas, neither of which could %e covered with a saucer, emerged fromthe same pocket and began climbing up the coat toward his hand. He just noticed them in time to drop the garment and call tor help. All of the spiders began scuttling away. and it was with much difficulty that they were all killed. Nat. is positive that there were at least fifty tarantulas in the pocket, and says he was so scared he don’tthink he'll get sobertora week. Menagerie Tragedies. {From the Sacramento Record-Union. } Officer Jackson is having bad luck with his menagerie and great moral exhibition, and in matters relating toit. A fewdays ayo the eagle disapveared and has never since been heardof by his owner. The monkey was frightened almost into convulsions by the boiler explosion on Sunday. The setter dog ‘*Living Skeleton’’ blew away yes- terday, and one of the ‘*trusties’’ nt the station house hada lively chase down the street after him. A monkey owned by a resident of Oakland, which it was vroposed to purchase as a mate for ‘*Jocko,’’ died sudden- ly last Saturday, and the last stroke of iil luck fell yesterdav, when Jackson was informed that the grizzly bear cub, whichba friend had secured for bim from an Indian near Oroville, had been found dead, having jumped eut of bis box and bung himself by means of the chain about his neck, being unable to reacy the ground or get back into the box, A Defunct Ophidian. [From the Bellefonte (Peun.) Republicaa. } Alfred Stover, who is just in from the Centre School District, says that he witnessed a combat between a number of crows and a rattlesnake which resulted inthe death of the snake and two of his teathered tormentors. The snake was ata disudvantage froin the, beginning,hav- ing been caught under a fallen limb, and hence being unable to coil himself effectively, A crow would alight on the oe gee near his head, and tear him with beak and claws, while the other corbine combatants would worry his snakeshipin other quarters.

Among a litter of newly-born pigs oné white one was found to have a well-defined repre:en- tation of the eight of clubs marked on its side; five of the marks are rather indistinct, but the three other ones are clear and well drawn.

[From the Popular Science Monthly. } Bow-legs and knock-knees are among the commonest deformities of humanity, and a Manchester (England) physician, Dr. Comp- ton, attributes the first mentioned distortion to a habit some yeungsters delight in, of rub- bing the sole of one foot against that of the other; some will go to sleep with the soles to- gether. They appear to enjoy the contact only when the feet are naked; they don’t at- tempt to make it when they are socked or slippered. Sothe remedy is obvious; keep the baby’s soles covered. Knock-knees the doctor ascribes toa different childish habit, that of sleeping on the side, with one knee tucked under the hollow behind the other. * He hasfound that where one leg has been bowed inward more than the other, the pa- tient has always slept on one side, and the up- —— member has been the most deformed. erethe preventive isto pad the inside of the knees, so as to keep them apart, and let thelimbs grow freely theirown way.

The waves got under her dress and lifted it and piastered it over her shouiders and head.

A numberof ladies rushed to her assistance, and winnie some surrounded ner in erder to hide ber from view, others, with no little difficulty, replaced her garments. Her fun, however, was over, but she was bappy in the thonghtthatno one knew her, she being one ofa party of excur- sionists who arrived here just for the day from Providence. Recently a policeman was called upon to perform a delicate task for a lady. She was the only lady in the surf, and as ber frail form emerged from the water, and as she ad- vanced to the shore, kicking the receding waves with her delicate feet at every step, her dress bebind was dis overed to te rentin twain.

Ofthe latter the Evening Post says: ‘*Such atowcring specu- lation,and such a remarkabie marketin all re- spects as we now have, bas not been witnessed in Wal' st-eet for many years. Professional speculators have again and ava‘n sold out ex- pecting the market to break, but thus far have invariably bought back their stocks at higher prices. The market has not broken on their sales for the reason that tor the first time since the great panic of 1873 have the purchases ot outsiders been of sufficient volume to make the current of the market irrespective of indi- viduals, no matter how large their capital or great their skillin manipulation.’ Concerning the currency movement the same paper savs: ‘‘From all that wecan gather, there is yet more currency coming here than is going away, and so far as the flurry of Satur- day had a good toundation it laid in the chang ing accounts of the Treasury with the banks, and was of atemporary character. Itis not to be supposed, however, that with mercantile and manufacturing business improving, with the diversion of capital to new enterprises and wich the increased vol- ume Of speculation at the Stock Exchange and at the commercial exchanges, we are to have a long continuance of 2@3 per cent quotations tor money. It would certainly be unreasonable to expect trcse low rates tocontinue later than the middie of September unless a large amount of gold isto be imported. At present it is an open question whether we shall import much gold; but as much as comes will strengthen the bank reserves and will form a basis for four times as much ct the kind of bank credit as constitutes the currency with which Stock Exchange and all whole- sale mercantile transactions are settled. It must be remembered, too, that the disburse- ment during July forthe fund of legal tender notes beld for many yeurs by the Treasury to redeem fractional notes nas been an impor- tant aid to the money market, it having fur- nished a basis for something over thirty mil- lions ef do'lars of the kind of bank credits just alluded to. Taking into account, however, everything that is favorable, it is ‘difficult to arrive at any other conclusion than that in the last three months of the year we shall have much fuller rates for money than we have had in the corresponding season of the last few years,’ _——— Money and Stocas pv Telegraph.
