Hibbs in the Lead—Speidel and Miller Second—Charges of Unfairness. A Contest Participated in by an Irishman, a Jew, an Indien, Two Germans and Two Americans. The performance at St. George’s Hall still continues. out ofthe match, but the other five are peg- ging away with one eye on the prospective gate meney, and the other on the scorer’s black board. Each pedestrian as he comés in front of the referee’s stand reads his name and the number ot miles to his credit, and seems to wonder that the numbers grow 80 slowly. Another peculiarity shared by several of the contestants 1s the carrying of toothpicks in their mouths, and riding-whips. Whenever Beckworth does get on the track, he has always two gray goose- quills, which he chews steadily aslongashe walks. Miller did most of his walking yesterday with a ‘cowhide in his is occasionally beat- ing his legs with a similar weapon. THE CROWD that attendsthe morning exhibitionsis usu- allv an extremely slim one, including trainers, backers and peelers. There were not twenty peopicin the hall at 2 o’clock to-day. In the daytime most of those who come have an out-all-night look, suggestive of sporting lite. The early birds at the walking tournament do not, as arule, seem to have hadtheir carly worm. At night, bowever, allot thisis changed, and the audi- enceis composed of wealthy and influential citizens, who relax from ’Change, commerce and finance by watchinga lot of stout-legged fellows walk round and round in a ring. THE PEDESTRIANS are beginning to show the effects of their long tramp more plainly than heretofore. Miller is walking on his pluck alone, as, by all the rules ofthe art, he ought to have given in some time back. At half past ten he got into the second place, coming up with Speidel, who has led him for some ‘time. He looks dragged and weary, and walks like as ifit was an effort, not with the light, springy walk with which he startedin. Miller seems to have German bloodin his veins, and the mutch really is atrial of endurance be- tween several nationalities. Speidel, the long-legged wonder, who has astonished everybody by the way he bas pegged in the race,is proba- bly German by ancestry, too. Costello is Irish from the crown ot bis bead to the soleof his foot, with all his race combativeness strongin him. Hi»dbs represents the aboriginal Chero- kee and ‘stays’ just as cheerful as though he fad only begun walking an hour before. Hie has been in the lead for the last twelve hours. Gilch is said to be a Jew, the first one of the race that has ever entered a contest ofthis kind. He has all the pertinacity of his nation, und keeps on the track in spite of all inattention. Beckworth and Cummings are both Americans, and both hopelessly in the rear, the first through sickness, it is claimed, and the other through inability to keep up, UNFAIRNESS CHARGED. The friends of Tommy Costello charge a want of fair play. On Thursday morning, eariy, Tommy was the winning man. His trainers hada great dealof difficulty in keeping him from making a ‘‘break,’’ be affirming that while walking with Hibbs, the plucky half- breed, the latter had one or two laps given him every mile. At last Costello said if it was done ogain he would leave, and _ shortly before six o’clock Thursday morning he did leave the track for thatreason. After be- ing away for cleven hours his backers induced him to return, butinthe meantime they put men on the watch, and it can be proven by affidavit by three or four disinterested par- ties that Hibbs has been giventime and again a mile for 26 and 27 laps, while the number is 28. Hibbs is a good walker, butitcan easi- ly be seen how such scoring would discourage any competitors. The scorers and referee keep at their monoto- nous post day and night, andit isa question whether it doesn’t require as much endurance to sit down and tally for six days as it does to walk through the sametime. Mr. Tobin, the referee, has only been absent for a few hours, his place being filled by Mr. Treloar, tne crick- or as fairly and impartially as by Tobin him- scil. AT HALF-PAST ONE Speidel had forged three miles ahead of Miller, and Costello was only one mile behind that young man. Hibbs is thirteen miles ahead of everybody, and swears that he is going to stay first. An unknown admirer has presented him with the nobbiest kind of « walking-suit, and he is now the best dressed and best looking man on the track. Gilch is still pounding away, and is now only eighteen miles behind Costello. SCORE. 10 a.m. 1:30 p.m. 3 p.m. Miles Laps.

THE POLAR WAVE. _- — — The Mercury Falls Twelve Degrees in Twenty-Four Hours. - = — St. Louis Enjoys the Luxury ofa Cool Temperature. - — — The Weather Delightful In-Doors and Out-Doors, Last night for the first time in many months the people of St. Louis were able toenjoya comiortable sleep. The cold wave yesterday became a reality. At noon yesterday Wash.- ington time, or at 11:07 St. Louis time, the temperature was 82 degrees, and at the same hour to-day only 70 degrees, a fall of 12 de- grees in twenty-four hours. The polar wave, which received such a cordial welcome from thesufferers who had stood the toil in the burning heat, reached St. Louis yes- terday afternoon. It came from the northwest and the probability is that the delighttul tem- perature of to-day will continue for the next day ortwo. The north wind began blowing shortly efter noon yesterday and at 2 o’clock had attained the maximum velocity of 55. This stiff breeze of course greatly cooled the atmosphere, andthis morning people awuke and tound the mercury at only 62 degrees. The following thermometric reading from points in the North willshow the area of the | arctic wave: Ss 5s od cheese as. enbecéoceseds béeseaene rs Ci Fess cosheons och ovesboocescesescdnce PT cheb eacseSeewbevnde de osedeeocuenced ovccese UTPRICRMBO. oc cocvccescssecccccose »-65 The polar wave has not yet spread tothe South. Fever-stricken Meimphis is still enjoy- ing a temperature of seventy-five, while in New Orleans the thermometer marks eighty degrees. Certainly the delicious coolness of last night and to-day isthe greatest luxury the denizens of tbe Future Great have experienced for some time. The change in the temperature was easily observed on the streets. The clerks inthe stores showed their appreciation by donning their coats. There was a briskness and vigor noticeable in the pedestrians quite ditferent from the languid lassitude of the heated term. In fact, every one appeared rejuvenated and exhibited a freshness and zeal in pursuing their avocations that was delightful to witness. The roustabouts on the levee were eager fora ‘‘job.’’ The drinkers of beer forsook their tavorite beverage, and bourbon was againin demand, Icecream sodas were ata Giscount. Infact, there was a general rejoic- ifg and exhilaration atthe glad despite that the city has received from the almost torrid heat of the past six weeks. Local Weather Report. SIGNAL OFFICE, } ST.

By Western Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 8.—Of seventy-five deaths from yellow fever in Hayti, eleven were Americans. The Situation. [From the Appeal. | The only encouragement we find in the re- ports from the Board of Health for the past forty-eight hours isin the fact that they are no worse. The increased number of new cases were unexpected, since we had begun to hope for the gradual decline of the disease indicat- ed in the last days of the past week. We find muc to console, however, in the low ercentage of deaths occurring, the undertebers reporting only tour interments on Sunday and Monday— two cach day. Wedo not venture any pre- dictions—yellow fever nas to be met and com- batted with more formidable weapons; but there is a shadow of hope that the disease has passed the crisis. Thereis some danger aris- ing from the rumored intention of a& number of refugees returning to the city, their decision being based upon the hitherto favorable aspects of the disease. Such action would be not only fatal to the ma- jority of these returning, but to the almost successful system of depopulation which alone has kept the plague confined to certain distiiets oftnecity. We hope that better counsels will prevail, and that those now safely out of dan- ger’s way maytryto content themselves till they are notified officially by the Board of Health when tuey can return in satety. The Food Problem. [From the Avalanche. } The city authorities will soon pe brought face to face with a problem more terrible in its sig- nificance than the spread of the disease that has caused Memphis to be deserted. For the sake ot simplifying the question presented, let us leave out the colored people, who have expressed their determination to remain in the city and support them- selves by contributions raised among them- selves und aid from abroad, and there siill re- main overtwelye hundred men, women and chilaren in the camps who mast be fed. But how is this to be done? The funds contributed for the purpose by generous sympathizers at the North, andafew ot our citizens, are now almost exhausted. In a few days at the turthest, an appeal must be made for belp to save the poor retucees from starva- tion; But to whom shall this appeal ve made —to people abroad, or to our own citizens? That there should be anv necessity for asking this question is a discreait to those of our citi- zens who have wealth lying idle in their cof- fers and would let the or die of starvation at their door or eehd forth the piteons cry of famine toagain arouse the sympathies of thore who,er the Avalanche has said before, eg no intereet in them except on the grounG simple homanity. To alow such an bao a city of paupers, and those of her citizens who could give hundreds and give noting, as men destitute not only ot feeling, but of pride, which in this CASE becomes noth- ing more than common decency. What have they given up to this time? Comparatively nothing. Of the $4,500 reeeived, fally half of it was contiibuted by nen who have nota dol- ler’s interest in Memphis. The rest came from less than a dozen ot our citizens. And what say you, gentlemen of the !ong rent roll and heavy credit xt the bank? Shall the worid witness , to our eternal shame, the second ont- pouring of a people’s wealth tora charity un- example din history? . Memphis Brevities. {From the Avalanche. ] Convalescents are beginning to promenade nliong Main street. The rural darky burries to Memphis occasion- ally, in order to discover when the tree deliv- ery of rations will take place. The Howards have engaged Drs. Quimby, Sim, Greene and Easton to visit the iudigent sick nursed by the Howard Association, If afew of the colored maicontents had Deen given jucrative yellow-fever positions, as were viven them last vear, there would be no trouble in the ‘*stalwart’’ camp now. The Peabody Hotel is the genera! heacquar- ters now, usin the days when the city was pop- ulous. The very few can’t-get-aways still crowd around the genial Colonel's hospitable board. The McClellan Guards and Zouave Guards gave a drill and dress parade on the bluff San- day. The exercises were witnessed bv hun- uireds of people, wno admired the soldierly bearing of the boys. The disinfected man and woman can be met around town,but we would rather walk around ithe square than have to meet the walking ear- bolic acid toter, As ‘‘Hamlet’’ said; ‘*O, thy offense is rank; it smelis to heaven.’’ Memphis was never so peaceful as at present, The whites and blacks get alonz well together, and would get along much more harmoniously were it not for a tew disgruntied whites und corrupt colored leaders who are hugger- muggering together just now. The word epidemic has been blotted out of the Memphis yellow fever dictionary this year, owing to the hegira of so many residents ang the energetic manner in which the yellow fever bas been grappled wl the city govern- ment, the Howards a ».? medical corps.

Ile wasa massof uloer- uted sores of the most malignant character, the result o1 debauchery. Memphis is now a city of 20,000 people, and the extent of their poverty may be imagined when itis known that there are comparatively few out of that number who are able to buy @ glass of beer. Itisthus plainto be seen that newspspers on the half-sbell are published for giory alone. The weli-to-do people have pass- ed out, mostly. The poor reinain. Board of Health. The officials at the Board of Health office to- day were busy as usual over routine matters. The only unusual occurrence was that the clerks donned tieir coais for the first time during the summer months. Tke cold wave haa even reached the health bureau.

Onthbe assembling of the jury to- day the first witacse pat on the staud was PRIVATE WATCHMAN SCHMATZ, who was in company with Officers Fenlon and Burke at the time of the shooting. Mr.Schmaiz testified: lreside at Ne. 2103 North Sixteenth street, andam emploved asaprivate watch- man by night for J.Weii & Bro. and other firms on Fiith and Pine sireets. My beat extends along lifih street from Pine to Ohestnut stieet, ond to the first alley situate between Fourth and Fifth streets in that territory. Onthe night of the 4th of Au- gust, ataiew minutes before 11 o’clock, I was standing on the southwest corner of Fifth and Pine streets. I heard a shot fired and saw the flash of a pistol. I thought it came from aé citizen on the west side ofl Pine street, somewhere in the neighborhood of the English Kitchen. IlIafterwards recognized bim as being Officer Hogan. I then noticeda negro running towards me. I was standing with Ofticers Fenlon and burke, and they started in pursuit of the flying man ar cries of ‘*Stop him.’’ Lurke was a few yards ahead of Fenlon and started towards Weil’s store, TRYING TO INTERCEPT THE NEGRO. Fenlon followed after him (Burke). I noticed Burke make an atiempt to strike the negro with his club, but failed and staggered up against the railing. Hisclubfellto the pave- ment. By that time the négzro Was around the corner running in an easterly direction down Pine street, At that time Burke got onto his feét 4nd he and Fenlon turned the corner in ursuit, Burke stiilin advance. By that time was at the middle of the street crossing, rnn- ning in a northeasterly direction, thinking to head off the negro. I ran the car track perhaps ten or fifteen teet from the corner of the street, beard the second shot fired. Whenthe second shot was fired Burke and Fenlon, I believe, were both together, on the south side of the street. One wasinthe gutter and the other on the pavement, near thecurbing. They were, per- haps, some forty-five feet from the Fifth street corner ot Weil’s store. Three or four citizens were between the fugitive negro and the officers at the time the second shot was fired. Thesecond shot seemed to come from the side entrance of Weil’s building. I did not see the flash ot the pistol bnt think would have done so had either Burke or Fenlon fired. When I saw Officer Hogan running on Eifth stieet he was RUNNING VERY SLOW, and when I ran down Pine Street he was about in front of Hauck’s clothing s:ore. I did not think he was an officer until after the negro was sbot and he helped get him in a carriage. If liogan had ar- rived ut the corner of Pine before the negro was shot he could not have fired, as the crowd wasinthe way. Ifeither Burke or Fenlion had had revolvers in their hands I would bave seenthem, and it either burke or kFenlon had done the shooting I would have seen the flash. At the time of the tiving of the second shot I was looking directly at Gardner. He had his leit side to the officers, and had builf paused, asit not knowing what di'ection to take. Iam positive that neither of the three officers fired the second and last shot. As it was 2:30 o’clock when the watchman concluded his testimony the inquest toox a re- cess ofone hour. At the afternoon session Mr. Harry Noxon, treasurer of the Theatre Comique, who was hard by at thetime of the death of Gardner, will take the stand. Watchman Schmatz’s testimony is the most importantof any brought out durin; the in- vestigation. If Gardner had partially halted, with hisleft side towards the officers at the time the shot was fired, it would bave been impossibie for them to bave shot hiuin the beck, andthe shot must have come irom the alley- way. The Inquest to Last Two Wceks Longer. From present appearances the inquest will not be concluded fora fortnight at the least. Kighteen or twenty additional witnessesjhave been subpoenaed to-day, and it is thought that not more than two or three atthe outside Will be examined per day. The investigation isa thorough one in every respect. SUDDEN DEATH, A™Man Goestoa Drug Store for Medicine, Takes a Doseand Dies a Few Minutes Af- terwards.

Mr. Chambers Continues His Policy of Starving Qut the Enemy. ‘Mr. Mitchell Comes to the Front With a Statement. He Declares He Has No Farther Interest ia the Concern. The Times-Journal muddle continues. The Chambers and the Hume-Woicott factions are still striving for the mastery of the ‘‘Independ- ent sheet.’’ All possibilities of a compromise are shattered. Chambers swears by the ‘‘etar- nal’’ that Hume and Wolcott of Journal no- toriety shail clear out with thier cohorts. He will no longer be associated with the **Journal Pair.’’ On the other hand, Wolcott, the ‘‘ad’’ solicitor, aud Hun e, the managing editor, declare that Chambers mustgo. Chambers’ position cer- tainly appears the strongest. He holds the purse-strings. Meanwhile, the unoffending jocal staff receives no salary. Mr. Chambers deciines to pay them, and Wolcott and Hume can’t; in fact, they can’t get their own salary. Chambers persists in refusing to pay the re- porters and tells them they cando as they please. He has, however,intimated that when the changes he contemplates are consum- mated ‘‘it will be all right.’’ The editorial de- partment also suffers, and noone can get any cash for the present. This morning a POST-DISPATCH reporter visited his biother knights of the Faber and commiserated with them over their hard lot. They were a!l working, and thought that they would ulti- wately get their money, but deplored the un- necessary hardship that wus inflicted on them. The Journal cohort that followed Wolcott and Hume to the T.-J. are not so depressed as the old Times staff. Wolcott’s men were so ac- customed to work onthe old Journal without editors, proprietors and solicitors they be compelled to ‘‘represent,’’ or, ia parlance, putupthe cosh. They t time and time was granted. The time last week and the collateral was not f ing. Stilithe would-be proprietors aade continued to hold and tiitovzir porttions out giving Mr. Cnambers any satisf; timating what they promised to do. There : bat one course left to the proprietor—step the pa\mInent of salaiiec—and that policy” i acopted. The order was made general, cluding reporters and editors alike, and herein _ it differs from the trouble a few weeks sinés. tor the loca) staff was notthen included. This time the jocal men are dragged into the ight - and made to suffer, while throuchout 6. have endeavored to be ‘‘hon-partisan’’ performed their duties faltifully, irrespective of who pretended to be ma iaging the paper. Atter making out tle ussiznments ye storday, the city editor cli da meeting of the ers ,and it was devided thatthe treatment they had received wes discou: eons in the extreme, and nothing less than aa insult of the grogsest - uature. A message was dispatched to Mr. Chambers, but no satisfaction was reeeived. The paper may appeur this morning, but with- outits usual quota of local news, as the men bave determined not to weary themeelves Ont they see the back pay, or have some assurance that they will be treated tairly. The difficulty will tikely be settled by to-mor- row evening, wheniiis thought Mr. Mitebell, | who came from the Eustufew weeks since, a6 Mr. Chambers’ soticitation, to t ke cha’ ge of the paper, will be installed.

What Mrs. Printz Has to Say on the Subject. — Over $2,009 Withheld from Her by the Police Commissioners. — They Propose to Build Her a Housebut She” Prefers the Cash. For the past few days rumors have been whis- pered about thatthe widow of Officer Printz, who was mvdered by Charles Sarde”s on the fiist of June, in thetouchera pe. oi tre city. was residing in almost a stuto of destitui.s. as” receiving any remuneration except orders on | No. 2118 Rosatti st<et, and ihat she had etc. ] not new restaurants, grocers, the experience is them. In tact, ever since they been on the Times§ they have been ‘‘ragged edge,’’ fearing that the unbeard-ol event ot receiving cash weekly would soon cease. To them the change from Wolcott's em- ployment, without pay, to tbe Times was a godsend. Ibey never saw the color of Wolcott & Hume’s cash, and they doubted seriously whether have THE GOOD FORTUNE the consolidation witn the Times brought could last. It didn’t. The local foree are thorough- ly disgusted with Wolcott and Hume and would be as well pleased as Chainbers to get rid of them. When the present difficulty will be settled, andthe T.-J. once more have hard to predict. It is that wmiatters must shortly come to ay crisis. Mr. Chambers is so _ fur firm in his de- termination to ‘‘freeze out’’ Wollcott and ume, and no more cash will be sen. to the smooib sailing, 18 claimed, however, editorial and reporterial rooms until he f3 oncg | iInore *‘boss’’ of the concern. A reporter visited Mr. Chambers this morn- ing. He wasfoundin his private office, evi- dently meditating upon the critical condition Ofaffairs. Heabsolutely reynsed to be inter- viewed. He had nothing to say. The ‘‘Journal Pair’’ were found closited to- gether in the editorial sanctum. Wolcott spoke not a word, bet glared at the newsgatherer with a look whieh indicated that he would like to kiek the in- trucer down stairs. Mr. Hume reccived the reporter courteously, but declined to say ought. He said he supposed he could learn all about the mater in the Post-DisPatcu, and he was promptly infovmedthat his surmise was correct. Wolcott cat silent aid giared sulle. ly, but as his reinarks wou!d have been wocth- | less he wasnt asked for any inftormaiion. So the situation remains the same as yester- day. Mr. A. 5S. Mitchell dropped into the P.-D. oftice to-day with the cerd which is printed below. Mr. Mitchell was unwittingly interviewed and bis remarks taken down in short-hand so that no mistake might be made. He said, ‘‘I am bers acted perfectly well, but maiters had tbat I told Mr. could count me out. Furthermore, Mr. Chambers sa‘d that he had bad a conference with Ilume and Wolcott, end his understanding was that Hume and Wo'coté said Mr. Chumbers could make any arrange- ments he liked for bis pap*r. Mr. Mitcheil furtoce said he objectc1 to what was g published in yesie:day’s P.-D. It placed him in an attitude of scheming in order to get in the T:.mes-Journal. "5 don’t wantto goin. Lam oat oj itentively. I have inserested mvserf in other matters. y~ don’t know if t:.ey woa'd make me an offer now toinduce me to go in. I am not going to go in; lam not expecting to go in, not expecting to goin.’’ A Card from Mr. Mitchell. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: It is not a little irritating to me that, after my recent explicit denial that I am in any way con- cerned in the rumored impending changes in the Times-Journal, which denial! you were kind enough to afford me the opportunity o! making, I am- still presented to the public in your local columnsinawholly different light. Your article yesterday on this subject repre- sents me as much displeased and disappointad becuse lum notin editorial control of theTimes- Journal; as complaining of my _ treat- ment itn the matter by Mr. Cham- bers, and as aiding and abetting in, if not fomenting, a rupturein the office, with a view to the more speedyfaccomplishment of my desire to get position in it. Please allow meto say, ence for ail, that there is not a word of truth in any such repre- sentations. I have never complained of Mr. Chambers to any one, nor spoken of him but in the kindest manner. So far from reproach- ing him, or regretting his failure toinstall me in the Times-Journal office, lam, in view of the difficulties that would have beset me, very much gratified by the result. Nearly, if not quite three weeks ago, I notified Mr. Chambers that be might leave me entirely outot his cal- culations in arranging forthe fature manage- ment othis paper. Sincethen I have taken no more interest in the supposed Chambers- Hume- Wolcott dissension than I have in the troubles of Zululand. I am otherwise and much more eatisfactorily em- ploying my time. If there be any explosion tnreatened in any newspaper office in St. Louis, itis neither by my instigation nor in my interest. Respectfully, August 8. A. 8. MITCHELL. A Renewal of Hostilities With the Local Force Dragged into the Fight. {From this Moru tug’s Globe-Demoecrat. } The interminable strife in the Times-Juurna) office between the proprietor and employes on the editorial staff has been renewed, bat with- outany additional phase of interest. The clach last time was between Mr. Chambers on the one band and Hume and Woleott on the other, Mr. Chambers deciring tc pat some one in charge of his paper who could and would conductitin such a manner as to make it self-sustaining.

EEE Tne differences of social condition growing daily wider are probably the rea- son why the recent swindling transactions in Chicago of a son of Senator Patterson were not noticed in any of the press dis- patches. TnaT fishery business is a triumph of American statesmanship. Having spent dollars for the privilege of catching two hundred thousand dollars’ worth of fish, the Government is going to spend a million or so in finding out why we don’t catch more. It is needless to say that the fishermen of Androscoggin and Kennebunkport rally around the Adminis- tration with the enthusiasm of a navy-yard contractor. WE do not ordinarily consider the dissen- sions of newspaper proprietors legitimate items of news, and, under ordinary circum- stances, we would not have mentioned the disagreement in the office.of our esteemed contemporary, the Times-Journal,which led to a suspension of payment of the editorial staff. But the experiment of freezing-out one’s wicked partners by “‘standing off”’ e innocent reporters is so novel that it rves to be watched and studied, and will follow with interest the new Mr. Chambers. The latest e story are given in our pres- — & ~~ » ed ad ‘terests of the country. ~~ Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rép.): Let the South once more plunge into rebellion, and become alien enemies, then they will find out for a cer- tainty whether or not a ‘‘man will ever be le- gally banged for secession on this continent.’’ We advise the Southern people nos to make the experiment. In the Hght of the past it would be the very delirium of folly. Madison (Ind.) Courier (Rep.): There are plenty of newspapers in the South fully as un- reconstructed as the Okolona States. What makes the States more notorious than the rest is a wider mouth in talking treazon,and an en- tire indifference to the demands of more pru- dent party-leaders. We experience no dalfficul- ty in finding fire-eating articles ofthe style of 1861 in Southern journals. Cleveland Herald (Rep.): Col. Harper, of the Okolona Southern States, ought to come to Obio this fall and take the stump tor the Con- tedro-Democracy. He is a fine speaker, and his sentiments concerning State sovereignty and Secession—sentiments which he has tke courege and manliness to speak out in meet- ing—are identical with those entertained by the bone and sinew of the Confedro-Democrat- ic party throughout the country. Harper’s Weekly (Rep.): The sec:ional ques- tion ought to be disappearing, and its present prominence is due to two things, for which Democrats exclusively are responsible—the suppression of the colored vote, and the tone in which those who suppress it demand State rights. The suppression of the colored vote in the Southern States, of which the evidence is incontestible,is equivalent to a forcible seizure of power which may easily control the Govern- ment. Thatisa wrong which the intelligent ‘*‘North’’ will not tolerate. Cincinnati Commercial (Rep.): The policy of the Republican party in Ohio is to maintain resumption in gold. and silver, according to the contract of July 14, 1870, in the very coins described in that law and in none other—a con- truct that is written on the face of every bond issued from that day to this. If the Republi- can party in Ohio attempted the course of dis- honesty urged in this connection by the New York Times, it would be so smashed that the wind would blow it awayas dust. The less foolery there is 6n this subject the better. New Orleans Times (Ind.): Deedsof violence will continue in Mississippi and her sister Southern States just so long asthe honest and upright men of the land allow themselves to be overridden by outlaws—by murderous, whisky- drinking, politics-crazed, hungry, office-seek- ing social drones, whoare ready to commit any crime rather than work. As we bave often said, we know that the planters, merchants, and men of substance in these communities deprecate all such actsof violence. But to deprecate is not enough. The remedy must come through grand and petit juries and the bangman’s noose. - — > MORNING NEWS CONDENSED. FOREIGN. The Albanians are contemplating an incur- sion into Servia.

When we left Vicksburgthere was but twelve feet between Cairo and Memphis, and seventeen feet at Lake Providence, and several other places below Memphis, but the report from St. Louis was abeavy rise out of the Missouri. This justified usin expecting arise out of the Arkansas also. ° So we started up. We aimed to get as far up as possible before we met the Missouri rise. When we got to Providence we found scant 17 feet on the bar, but, knowing that a rise Was coming, we felt justified in attempting to get over, as, unless we got to Cairo before the river began to fall, it would be useless to attempt to make St. Louis this season. The attempt was made and failed, and when we got off the bar we found that, instead of the rise out of the Missouri being a mountain rise, it was only local,and that the river was falling, and also that there was not then, nor had.there been, fifteen feet of water at any time since April on Plum Point. This being the case I advised Captain Wilson to returnto Natchez, as it would have been suicidal to have been caught with a large crew of men unacclimated to our rivers, when we could not getaway. Wedid so,jand a tele- gram from Washington further ordered us to New Orleans to await a rise or fever. The fever came and orders trom Washington to proceed to Kev West. CHAS. M.

Of course every one turned tothe Daily Newsto read the account of the battle given by the famous correspondent; but few were prepared to read a more graphic and detailed account in the Times, from which an- otber equally famous correspondent, Dr. W. H. Russell, has seceded. The Times, however, bas no reason to complain of the way in which it isserved, for its account of the battle ot Ulundi is the best and most graphic which has appeared, while the Daily Telegraph, to which Dr. Russell went over for a heavy fee, is left out in the cold with only half a story, the rest toappear ina later edition.

Creation of a Business Worth $25,- 000,000, in a Dozen Years. -— -_ 1,700,000 Bushels of Wheat for July, 1878, Against 3,000,000 for July, 1879. Increased Facilities for Handling Grain, and Prospective Growth of the Market. St. Louis received $14,325,431 bushels of wheat last year and 8,274,151 bushels the year before. This was a wonderful increase for 1878, but what shall be said of .the increase for1879? The receipts for July were $3,000,- 000 busiels, and the receipts for January 1 to August 1 were’ 8,068,472 bushels, or about 100,000 bushels a dav. The receipts tor Augnst are, so fur, very heavy, and, as yet, the immense crop has hardiy be- gunto move. The largest receipts of this year will probably comein during the months of October and November, when the prices of the year will probably be somewhat settled. From ‘July 1, 1076, Ww Jey 2a, 1879, the regular wheat vear, the receipts were something over 15,000,000 bushels. The receipts for July, 1878, were 1,746,245 bush- els. *toit appearsthat the receipts for July, 1879, are nearly twice as great. With these figures asa basis, is it too much to believe that there will be 20,000,000 bushels of wheat re- ceived here during the present year? This is pot an unreasonable expectation. The re- ceipts tor 1878 were 6,000,000 more than those of 1877, with only a medium crop. With au extraordinary crop, why should there not be an increase of 6,000,000 bushels this year? There are few more remarkable things in commercial history than the growth ot the grain trade in St. Louis. The tollowing table exhibits THE RECEIPTS OF WHEAT for the year 1867 and for each year since that: Bu.

Thereceipts ofcorn in 1867 were 5,000,000 bushels; in 1868 2,000,000 bushels; in 1875 6,000,000 bushels; in 1876 15,000,000 bushels; in 1577 11,C00,000 bushels; and fail- ingj off last year to 9,000,000. The _ re- markable increase of 1876 was owing to spec- ial causevr,and the legitimate comparison is be- tween 1878 and 1875, which shows an increase of 3,000,000 bushels in favor ofthe jatter year. There is no estimating the re- ceipts ot corn for 1879, so wonderful is the crop. Cornis so abundant that the price is bound to be very low and will hardly pay for shipment. The receipts of rye increased from 2,000,000 bushels in 1875)]to 8,000,000 bush- elsin 1878, while the receipts of bariey in- creased from 1,171,000 bushels in 1875 to 1,517,000 bushels in 1878. The most striking feature in the growth fof the grain trade in St. Louis is the INCREASE IN SHIPMENTS. It was once supnosed that the mills here made the St.Louis market, and at one time they did. The demanc was very beavy and is still heavi- ernow, but they wonld have to have twice their capacity to use all the wheat that comes here. As before stated, the re- ceipts of wheat for 1878 were 14,325,431 bDush- els; the shipments were 6,900,802 bushels. The difference between these amounts—7,424,- 529 bushels—may be said to be the quantity used by the mills. Strange to say, thereis not a record of abushel of wheat shipped from St. Louis up to 1865. Commencing with that vear the shipments have been as follows: 1865. ..ccces 67,710 | 1872........ 918,477 1866........ 635,818 | 1873........ 1,210,286 LB6T .coneeee 321,888 | 1874........ 1,938,841 2OECS. ccvcese §42,231 | 1875........ 1,962 ,45% aa 1,715,005 | 1876........ 2.630.007 3O7O. ccccvcs 636.562 | 18T7T7..ceseee 2,410,190 IT Aceoe-case 1] 048 .4832 | 1878... cccecs 6,900,802 No city can be a great market with nothing but aconsumptive demand. It was not till St. Louis began to supply other cities and otpner countries with grain that she came into prominence as a leading market. The millers look with a jealous eye upon the call board ot the Mer- chants’ Exchange, but it is this that represents the shipping interests and the speculative ten- dency, without which St. Louis COULD NOT COMPETE IN PRICES with Chicago and other points. Heretofore St. Louis has been ata great disadvantage as a shipping point. Chicago has always had the lakes, and has long been well supplied with railroads. So strong a competition grew up between the railroads and the water lines that the lowest rates of freight could be obtained at all times, except during some of the winter months. St. Louis had no outlet but the railroads running East, and these were sometimes pooled and subsi- dized insuch a way asto practically preclude shipments ataprotit. But now comes Capt. Eads, who opens the mouth of the Mississippi and gives a highway to the seas. There are two reutes to-day trom St. Louis to Liver- pool; the one by New York, the other by New Orleans. What has been the consequence? It is that freights by railto the East from St. Louis have been reduced to a reasonable standard. The shipments by therivertor ex- port have not been as great probably as was expected, but the advantage has been felt equally as much asifthe grain had gone that way. But, whichever way most of the grain goesfrom here to Europe—whether by New Orleans orfNew York— 8ST. LOUIS HOLDS THE KEY to the situation, and wilikeepit. Grainis now carried from here to New Orleans for 5% cents afbushel, and can be put on the steamers there at a total cost of not exceeding 8 cents a bushel. The usual rate by rail from here to New’ York is 29 cents a hundred, or about 17 cents a bushel, so that there is a difference between the cost ot ship- pingto New York and New Orleans of fullv 9 cents a bushel, but this is equalized by the greater cost of ocean freight from New Orleans to Liverpool than from New York to Liverpool. The Uifference in the cost of shipping from St. Lovis to Liverpoolis not very greatly in favor of either of the two routes, but the advantage isin having one to stand against the other and prevent any extortionary rates. Asa shipping warket, therefore, St. Louis may be said to be secure against al! dan- ger, andto have an equal chance with any otber marketin the United States. With an equal chance of outlet, what more could be desired? The regions ot supply are countless. The Mississippi Valiey is the richest grain growing country on the globe, and St. Louis is the central and commanding point in that mighty region. With the growth of the market here come many facilities and improvements. The rail- roads running East are more generous in their freight eharges, to which they have been com. pelled by the opening of the water way to the Gulf, and so are the railroads bringing the grain into 8t. Louis more reasonable in their rates. There bas been less complaint on the part of St. Louis merchants this summer about the shipment by consignment from the coun- try than ever betore. The railroads are be- ginning to discover that St. Louis is destined to be a great market, and that it is well to cultivate her patronage. Nearly, if not quite all the roads running into St. Louis are now working for the interests of St. Louis and not for those of some rival city. For instance. the Kansas City and Northern folks say to the merchants here, ‘*‘We want to bring the grain from Northwest Mis- souri to St. Louis,and we will give you any fig- ure that will induce it to cems nere in preterence toChicago.’’ But the railroads are not only more reasonable in their charges for transportation, but they are better prevarod and more disposed to promptly furnis cars calledg for. here is not a market in the country where wheat is handled with the promptness it is here. TO ILLUSTRATE, on the 6th inst., a firm at Litchfield, Lllinois, shipped eight cars otf wheat to a commission house in this city. The cars were heré on the morning ofthe 7th. The wheat was put into the elevator and sold on Change by 12 o’clock, and the same evening the avcount sales were sent tothe Litcnfield firm. So that on the morning of the 8th wr received the complete return and had closed the transaction. No prompter work.can be done than this, and a complate nenmess Sesusst the and the oo ee tween these e also been a most the of the mach n. vators have kept their wo is their chief ambition to build up the grain trade of St. Louis and Missouri, and upon their success in this depends their own mem goes fe The elevators of St. Louts are capabie of hand- ling 5,50v,000 bushels of grain at one time, and they are sufficient to accommodate the market here, however much it may increase, for years tocome. With all these favorable circumstances comes THE EXTENSION OF SEVERAL ST. LOUIS RAIL- ROADS, and the joining to St. Louis of new and rich agricultural territory. The St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern will soon have 150 miles ot new road running from their main line to Omaha, through one of the richest portions of the Mis- sissippi Valley. Itis reasonable to estimate that by this new reute from 2,000,000 to 3,- 000,000 bushels of grain will be brought here 4 has heretofore gone to other markets. ee a mae a4 + 3 Se 2 = ~~ bs Sage | ys “Sate ‘ ee a ey te: aoe 2 “s ‘ « ae a better arranged system ot elevators in | VICTOR HUGO AT HIS HOME. | same vook—tne nistory of the The * last winter was wise in not passing One recounts the good, the other evil.

The Missouri Pacific is also extending its line into a splendid grain country, and other smaller routes are being laid out and built. There are now being built more miles of new railroad west of the Mississippi than in any other part of America, and most of these new roads connect directiv with St. Louis. Between January 1879 and Jamuuary 1580 there will have been addel. about 1,000 miles to the st. Louis railroad system. ‘This will contribute enormously to the growth of this grain market. Why, there- fore, need it be a matter of surprise if the grain trade of St. Louis for 1879 is worth $30,vv0,- O0U: _— —— — A DRY CANAL. How an Tfllinois Man Proposes to Take Ves- sels Across the Isthmus of Panama and Revolutionize the Commerce of the World. [From the Moline (Ill.) Dispatch. j We were to-day permitted to inspect the drawings and working models of a new inven- tion, the aim of which is a solution of the long- standing problem of a ship canal trom ocean tu ocean, across the Central American Isthmus. We were much struck with the simplicity of the means embodied in this invention, which isthe result of years of study on the part of Mr. Toeliner, who by education and associa- tion is familiar with marine engineering and construction. Of its practicability he, and otn- ers qualified to judge who have examined it, have no doubt; andthe necessary steps to se- cure letters patent have been taken. The invention, in brief, contemplates the construction over the isthmus of what may be termed a dry canal, intheform of a letter V, but baving a narrow, flat base,which, with the sides, is constructed of masonry and lined with steel, with a layer of rubber between. This canal is of width sufficient to receive the largest vessel, and at each end of the route slopes gentiy intothe sea. In this canal, or channel, is what he calls a movable dry-dock, constructed of steel, built in sections conform ing in shape to the channel, and supported at the base and sides upon a multitucte of small rollers, similarin principal to the skate roller. Ot these rollers his plan calls for over 18,000. The movable cockisto be sunk under the water; the vessel to be transported is floated into it; the bull is supported evenly in the dock by hundreds of air-bags inflated by a powerful air pump; by rubber wedges, and by wooden stays. Iitisthen drawn up the incline by sta- tionary engines, andthence across the isth- mus by powerful locomotives running upon tracks laid alongside thecanal. Tnese are the principal points involved; there are hundreds ot others—matters of detail—of which it is not necessary to speak. Mr. Toeliner estimates the cost of the Nica- ragua canal, built on this plan, at $20,000,000 to $40,000,000. Asthis plan admits of casy grades, uvoiding locks with their expense and delay, itis believed that it can be built and operated more cheap!y than any other system of marine transportation, excepting onlv a water canal through lowland country, while it is adapted to any cuse or any place where it is desired to move floating craft from one water to another, to overcome rapids and other ob- structions. mine RO NS social No Pony, No Castor He.

Man and wife were one, that one tneman. When the Mayflower brought over her passengers no woman’s name was written down. Every married man had a star oppo- site his name. That star meant alwoman, of which there were eighteen.

Habits and Surroundings of the Author of ‘Notre Dame de Paris.” [From the Parisian. ] Victor Hugo's admirers are composed of the masaes, the women, andthe great celebrities of France; bis detractors are to be found among those journalists wnose god is Voltaire, in tne middle classes, and also among ali those who have not read his works. We will not mention bis enemies and his rivals. for these, above all others. admire him; the proof of it is that they hate him, and we do not hate people for noth- ing. He who bas produced such chefs d’@uvre as ‘‘Les Orientales,’’ ‘‘Lee Feuilles d’ Anu- tomne,’’ ‘‘Les Chants du Crepuscule,’’ ‘*Les Voix interieures,’’ ‘*Les Ray- ons et les Ombres,’’ ‘*Le Der- nier Jour d’un Condamne,’’ ‘‘Notre Dame de Paris,’’ etc,, is, whatever those who do not know the mun may say, indulgent, simple, hospitable to all, and a most amiable host, de- void of pretension. A clever and charming conversationalist, he delights in bringing out the wit of others, and there is no memory bet- terinformed und more taithful than his tor encouraging the works of those who aspire to a shadow of the celebrity of the master. It may not prove uninteresting to our readers to be initiated into the interior arrangement, recently completed, of the little house In the Avenue d’Eylau; these details have deen corn- municated to us by a near triend of the family. Atthe entrance there is a landing-place, but no ante-chamber. On the righta library,where there arono books, and which was used as a dining-room during the installation; two Jap- anese screens are placed on each side of the fireplace. The dining-room, very guy-looking, opens upon the garden, and through the glass door you hearthe splashing of- fountains and see the thick foliage of trees. On the walls are pictures of the Rembrandt school, and on the verandah, which opens out of the room, is the magnificent bust of Victor Hugo, by David D’ Angers, destined for the poet’s little grand- daughter, Jeanne,the child of Mr. Chas. Hugo. The bustis crowned with laurels, which the modesty of THE GREAT POET has led him to conceal under other ornaments. On the verandah isalso a large photograph, representing the bas-relief by Kude of ‘‘ Le De- part,’’ on the Arc de Triomphe de Il’ Etolie. In the dining-room isalarge oblong taple, like those of the antique banquets. at which the places are distributed as follows: At one end the master; at the ogher his grandchildren, Jeanne and Georges; Mme. G. Drouet, an old friend ot the house, sits in the middle and De- tween the two guests. There is no absolute rule for the invitations, but by a sort of tacit understanding Sunday is reserved for the tam- ilvand friends of many years’ standing: Thurs- day for men of letters and Saturday for politi- cians, although this division is not strict. A dinner is served every day tor tweive persons, at which abundance and comfort and the usu- al quiet luxury of ‘tia grande bourgeoisie’’ nuiwuysreign. These dinners are composed of soun. fish, two entrees, two roasts, and vegetables, served, after the English fashion, attbe same time as the en- trees andthe roasts. Theservice at table is always done by females—rather slowly; wines of Bordeaux vintages, sometimes champagne, and otten Madeira, aredrunk. At midnighta collation of truits, cakes, ices, etc., is served. The following 1s the list of the guests at one of these dinners: Victor Hugo, seated between Mme. Renan and Mme.

Coffee is taken at table, hut no cigars; those who wish to smoke zo into the garden. Victor Hugo is always the last served at table. The repast lasts trom about 8 till 10 o’clock, ratber tov long—for the other guests who are waitingin thesalon. The de- jeuner is served at 12:30 or 1 o’clock—a simple meal, eaten by the tamily circle alone. THE SALON is hung with red silk, bordered with yellow bands. Over the fire-place isa Venetian look- ing-glass, Venetian brackets,and the chandelier ia also old Venetian, with colored arms. Upon aclock, inthe middie ot the mantelpiece, is placed a Japanese elephant, with his fighting castle. The body ofthe elephantis of gilded bronze, with his trunk raised in the air. An old piece of furniture, inlaid with steel, a Louis; XV. clock, representing Time and his scythe, a sofa and chairs, in velvet ‘and silk, complete the furniture of the room, the ensembie of which conveys animpression of luxury together with ataste for the beautiful things of art. Mme. J. Drouet’s customary place is upon the sofa to the left of the fire-place, and here she holds, as it were, her private reception, while the master occupies the sofa on the other side, and is always to be found in _ that portion of the room, standing or sitting. Extremely courteous with ladies, he kisses their band when be salutes them, is very spiritualistic, and every evening discourses upon the immortality of the soul. Once, at least, in the course of the evening he feels the necessity of speaking upon religion and on the ideal; he is also very fona of anecdote, tells astory admirably it alittle slow- ly, and possesses a wonderful memory which never by any chance tails him. Beyond the saloon is a smaller room, hung in splendia Cordova Jeather. The bed-room and dressing- room of the poet areonthe first floor. The garden is charming, with fine trees, and the kitchen large and comfortable, leaving noth- ing to bedesired. M. ana Mme. Lockroy in- habit a small house next door, and communi- cating with that otf the poet. Victor Hugo has given up hydropathy. Every day, in fine or bad weather, he goes out for a long ride for three. or four hours on the imper- iale of some omnibus, a mode of locomotion which he maintains to be necessary for the cir- culation of his thoughts. The fortune he has acquired is considerable, and whatever his enemies may sav, he makes a generous use of it, he himseif living mestsimply. I¢1s said that§‘‘Les Miserubles’’ brought him 500,000 francs. Heisso accessibleto all that he not unfrequently leaves atable of pleasant gucsts to receive some visitor orother. One thing, however, he does not like, and thatis to open his correspondence; as he receives about 100 letters a day that care devolves upon his secre- tary. Among the visitors to the little hotel in the Avenue da@’Eylau aro many young poets, who naturally come there to revere the taas- ter; many strangers also come, and we know of several beautiful American ladies whos» cu- riosity has been met with the most ami.ablo courtesy. Victor Hugo is somewhat FOND OF PLAISANTERIB. Punning, ‘‘cette dejection del e’ sprit qui vole’’ (an expression which belongs tu him), was former- ly much eultivated by him in improvised verse, but nowadays he has almost entirely given up this amusement. Mis two grandchildren, both beautiful and intelligent, are inflnitely dear to him, but Petite Jeanne, as he calls her, has perbaps the largest share of her grandfather's affections. His two dearest friends are Paul Meurice and Auguste Vacquerie, and one ot his tavoriteif unreasonavie desires would be tosee the role of Triboulet in ‘*‘Le Roi s’amuse,’’ played alternately by Got and Co- guelin. Itis probable, however, that the amour propre of these artists would not permit them to lend themselves to the satisfaction of this caprice. Many have been the discussions of the relative aptitude of each of these actors for the role in question. Paul Meurice is firmly in favor of Got and would wish to see Coguelin as Don Cesar de Bazan. Victor Hugo never goes to see pieces except at the general rehearsal; he has not even seen ‘*Ruy Blas’’ at the Comedie-Francaiss. ‘I have just kissed the hand of a Queen,’’ said he, on his return trom a rehearsal of ‘‘Ruy Blas,’’ where he had kissed the hand of Sara Bernhardt. Heis more indulgent than any of the dramatic authors, saving at the same time, with a gentle simile, ‘‘that he was less so in days gone by.’’ We have said that Victor Hugo likes to speak of the immortality of the soul, and we may add that all his works tend to demonstrate to us his belief.

An Interesting Collection in the Patent Of. fice at Washington. In the Patent Office at Washington there are many objects of interest connected with the Government and those who administered its affairs in times gone by. While examining some ot those objects of curiosity nothiag struck us so forcibly as the samples of small locks of hair taken from the heads of different Chief Magistrates, from Washington down to President Pierce, secured in a frame covered with glass. Here is in fact a part and parcel of what once constituted the living bodies of those illustrious individuals whose names are as fa- miliaras household words, but who now live oniy in history and the remembrance of tbe past. The heir of Washington is nearly a pure white, fine and smooth in its appearance. Thatof John Adams is nearly the same in color, though perhaps a little coarser. The buir of Jefferson is of a different chars:- ter, being a mixture of white and anburn, or a sandy brown, and rather coarse. In his yorutu M:. Jefferson's hair was remarkable for its bright color. The hair of Madisonis coarse and a mixed white and dark. The hair of Monroe isa handsome dark au- burn, smooth and free from any mixture. He is the only President, excepting rierce,"whose hair had unde: gone no change in color. The hair of Jobn Quincy Adams is somewhat peculiar, being coarse and a yellowish-gray in color. The hair of General Jackson is almosta per- fect white, but coarse in its character,as might be supposed by those who have examined the portraits of the old hero. The hair of Van Burenis white and smooth in appearance. The hair of Gen. Harrison is a fine white, with a slight admixture of black. The hair ot John Tyler is a mixture of white and brown. The hair of James K. white. The hair of Gen. Taylor is white, with a slight admixture of brown. The hair of Millard Fillmoreis, on the other hand, brown, with a slight admixture of white. The bair ot Franklin Pierce is a dark brown, of which he had a plentiful crop. It is somewhat remarkabie, however, that since Pierce’s time no one has thought ot pre- serving the hair of his successors. ‘There are vacuncies inthe case; but there is no hair either of Buchanan, Lincolu, Jobngon or Grant, for the inspection of futurity.

Avory Grimes, of Monroe county, lost three valuable mares and one mule last Tuesday worning. During the severe thunder storin they bad taken shelter under a treein his pas- ture, and were killed by lightning. A three-year-old child of Prof. Terrill, of Mexico, dropped dead on the street at Salis- bury a few days ago. lt was seemingly in ex- cellent health when it fell over and expired. The immediate cause of death was insulation, produced by the encroachment of blood upon the lungs. The Palmyra Spectator is informed by Mr. Cornell, who liveson tue margin ot the bottom lands that stretch away from the Mississippi to the bluffs neartothe main Palmyra and La- GrangefRoad, that there is scarcely a single pond left in the prairies, and that the fish gen- erally found there have been all destroyed by cattle, hogs and hot weather. Wednesday Deputv Sheriff Pike arrived in the city with W. P. Fuller,the man who three years ago stole Joe Haslett’s fine span of biack horses, and who has since managed to keep out of the way of the officers. Fuller was ar- rested in Cherokee county some days ago, and brought to this city ona requisition, and was last Wednesday evening taken to jail at Car- thage.—| Joplin Heraid. The Joplin Miner says: Two little Italian boys, who will be remembered as visiting this city last fall with their violin and harp, bave struck a fortune in Leadville. They located a claim and hired miners to work it, they rais- ing the money to pay the miners by playing in snloona and other places about Leadville. A short time since their miners struck it big for them and the little fellows sold their claim for $250,000. Acitizen of Joplin saw the money paid tothem. Will Carnes and Albert Price, while in the Palace saloon at Neosho Saturday night, got into a quarrel, which resulted in some blood- letting. Will stuck his knife into Albert just below the heart, the point ranging downward, extending tothe hollow, and making an ugly cut. Another gash, though shallow, Was.made across almost the entire width of the lower part of his bieast. Finally Albert got hold of the knife, and ehopped on Will's leg until par- ties separated them. Tom Garner, a young man of Richmond, went to Lexington Sunday of last week to visit bis sweetheart. He stayed with her until 12 o’ clock, and she feasted him on ice cream and fruit cake. Aveut 1 o’clock he went to his ho- tel and retired, soon fell asleep, and dreamed that Claude Duval ana his band had stoien his girl and were making efforts to capture him, and in his distress jumped out at a third-story window, but fortunately caught to a window below, to whieh he held until heip arrived. Nathaniel Sand, representing the Virginia Lead Mining Company in Franklin county, states that he has perfected arrangements with capitalists in Europe to at once begin work in developing the mines. These mines have been partially developed heretofore, the first strata of lead having been taken out. The title tothe land, however, had not been finally secured until a short time ago, when the last payment of $10,000 was made,and the title secured from tne county, and now it is proposed to put the mines in active operation at once. There is a law in this State making it a finable offense for any farmer to permit what is known as the Canada thistieto grow upon his premi- ses. There ts a tar more dangerous thistie, or ‘‘eowkilier’’ and can be found along the track of the M.,K. and T. Railroad from Red River to Hannibal. East Sedalia is fairly taken by it, and it is now spreading to the pastures. This thistle is said to be the cause of the death of so many cows in this city, and the rapidity with which the plant is spreading is causing a great deal of alarm with farmers. This soxious weed has two thorns to the thistie’s one, and it is of a much more Juxuriant growth.

"BLUE LAWS” REVIVED. Excitement in Connecticut Over a Threat- ened Attempt to Enforce Them. Steamboats Forbidden to Ply on Sunday—A Legal Battle Imminent. {By Telegraph to the New York Herald. } NorwicuH, Conn., August 3.—Connectiéut, **the land of wooden nutmegs and of steady habits,’’ is again threatened with something that bids fair to create a good deal of excite- ment. Indeed, itis farenough advanced al- ready to be the town talk in both the cities on the Thames. That the tyrannical laws of 1702 should still remain valid as statutes of to-day is a fact which, withoutdoubt, will surprise many. ‘The custom for years, well known in this State, has been to permit the running of horse-cars, trains, steamboats and carriages on the Sabbath day.

All the excursionists this year had been quiet and or- derly, no liquor is sold on board the boats, anda great number of their patrons are church members themselves.

The-grain trade of those two countries is destroyed by the competition of Russia and more immediately by that of the United States. In Germany, to assist the interests of agriculture a hich tariffis resort- ed to; but Bismarck, though a shrewd diplo- matist, is a poor economist. It is plain that in order to protect German grain raisers from competition it would be necessary to raise the tariff so high chat Germany would be threat- ened with great suffering and serious dis- turbances. England, on tbe contrary, ap- prehends the real causes ~ well as the reme- dies of the agricultural depression. Lord Beaconsfield in Parliament openly denounced protectionism, Government interference, and all artificial measures; and Lord Derby, one of the largest land owners in England, al- leged that success of agriculture depends upon the prosperity of the farmers, that the rent question must be examined, and that, in view of foreign competition, the landlords must seek to increase the productiveness of the land by putting their money into it. But while Europe is trying to find out how to secure the improvement of its economical situation, the United States is becoming the real master of the European market. Ameri- can farmers have immensely increased the area of fertile soil by cultivating former wil- dernesses; American manufacturers continue to supply the farmers with improved farming machines and implements; the Americans pos- sess cheap and rapid ways of transportation. Besides grain, they suppiy the market not only with cattle, but also with fresh preserved meat, for which there is already a fair de- mand. Russian agriculturists must look closely after their interests in the grain market lest the Yankee supplant us there. We hope that the committee appointed by the Czar’s Goy- ernment will succeed in discovering the con- ditions under which we can compete with the United States inthe European grain market. -— —_ Bad Case of Absent-Mindedness. {From the Willimantic (Conn. ) Journal. } The freaks of absent-minded men are often ludicrous, but a Holyoke (Mass.) man is en- titled tothe premium.

A Satisfactory Voyage Over Low- er Canada. [New York 8un Correspondence. | ST. HYACINTHE, QUEBEC, August 3.—The trial of Cowan & Page’s aerial steering ap- paratus in the voyage of the monster balloon Canada last evening was practically atriumph. The steering apparatus consists of two paddle- wheels, turned by means of a crank, and can be turned at will in any direction so as to propel the bal- loon wherever the balloonist desires, pro- viding the wind is light. The paddles act pre- cisely the same way as an oar, the machinery being so constructed that each paddle, after it has taken the stroke or propelling motion, feathers, thus presenting no opposition to the wind until the upper half-circle of the revolu- tion has been described. Witha view of effecting a good ascent yes- terday, the Montreal Gas Company had made a light gas especiaily for the purpose. At 5:45 p.m. Prof. Grimiey, the inventors of the apparatus, Messrs. R. W. Gowan and Chas. Page, your correspondent and two other re- porters entered the car with fifteen bags of ballast, and started on their voyage, heartily cheered by the thousands assembled in the Shamrock and Lacrosse grounds in Montreal. The balloon rose gracefully, and in threo min- utes was 1,500 feet from the surface, and sail- ing at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour in an easterly direction. The beautiful City of Montreal seemed to pass under us like a dissolving view. Thecheers of the popu- lace, who were out en masse, were soon lulled in the distance, and, as one looked uround over avista of thirty miles, the features of the fine country spread out beneath us were very plainly marked. In the far West the suo was shining with all the brillianey of the tropics, and the Ottawa River and its tributaries glis- tened like silver. The sun shone full upon the _ balloon, and = = raised =i the thermometer to & degrees, and there it was stationary for fuil thirty min- utes, during which period the balloon slowly emitted about 800 feet of gas. In the south- west and directly under our feet, every rock and shoal in the St. Lawrence was plainly vis- ible. Mount Royal, to the north, seemed only slightly raised above the city; every feature in its uneven and heavily-wooded slopes was plainly marked. Still farther,the River Jesus and the back river tributaries of the Ottawa glistened like silver sheen as they plowed along their rocky bed to join the St. Lawrence at De Lisle, some eighteen miles below the city. THE COURSE, vf the St. Lawrence from above Beauharnois, wake St. Louis, to Lavaltrie, a distance of thirty miles either way, with the many vil- lages smiling on its banks dotting the sur- rounding eountry, was as plainly in view as though laid out on a map. Our attention was diverted from the scene by the sharp, jolly voice of the Professor, and the rcquest of Mr. Cowan to proceed with the objeet for which the ascension was made. Mr. Page thereupon took his position atthe crank, and, assisted by the reporters, changed the direction of the paddle-wheels, and turned them at the willof Mr. Cowan, another re- porter having charge of the rudder, which had been rigged astern. The order was given to de:eend. Round went the paddles, and down glided the balloon, falling at the rate of 1,600 feettotheminute. The crank wasjthen re- versed, and, under alike efforton the part of the human motors. the balloon rose 1,200 feet to the minute, thus registering the highest a!- titude of the trip—s, 700 feet. From this height the outline of the island of Montreal was plainiy distinguished, as also the course of the St. Lawrence, the Richelieu and the Ya- maskaandtbe St. Jude Rivers, and other smatler streams. At this point one of the reporters expressed adesireto descend, and if possible retura home by rail. ‘The Professor thought it pos- sible to discharge the passenger and afterward continue the journey. Accordingly he lower- ed the balloon. As we descended to within 400 feet of the earth a change of wind altered our course to the eastward, and we bowled along over farm after farm at thirty miles an hour. Before the course of the balloon was sufticiently checked to admit of any further descent a forest loomed up, extending as far asthe eve could reach. and of from ten to twenty miles in width. To steer clear of this forest 2nd drop in tne first clearing practica- ble afforded a good opportunity for thorough- ly testing the paddles. The rudder was put hard suport, the paddles were worked effect- ively by three men, and the forest was cleared. At this time we were traveling at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. As we failed to strike anything larger than a hamlet, we continued on without stopping, testing the efficiency of the paddles in other directions, and the experiments we thus made proved the on | usefulness of the invention. After we left St. Hilaire behind we success- ively passed the picturesque villages of St. Madeleine, La Presentation and St. Jude. where Grimley landed on the 21st of June,aad then we sailed on over St. Louis to St. Aime, where a favorable opportunity to land present- ed itself. The balloon was lowered to within less than 100 feet of the ground and the aachor was thrown out. THE WIND which had lulled to fifteen miles an hour dur- ring our progress through the opening, sud- denly increased to twenty-five miles an hour, and the anchor would not hold in the sandy ground, but cut through trees and through fences and all things else it came in contact with. ‘lo make matters worse for those who wished to descond. a number of only partially- cleared farms bove in sight, and, as the an- chor could not hold in the soil, it was deemed necessary to collapse the balloon by means of the rip-line, acord sewn upw ard for some distance on her inside, below the crown, from which it hangs down and passes through the funnel. As the monster descended, the Professor, with his full weight bearing upon the escape-valve, ordered every one to hoid on tight. No sooner was the order obeyed than the balloon swooped tothe ground, and the sharp bow of the car struck heavily ina field, making us all stagger, and mixing up jegs and bodies generally. The balloon again rose, and, barely clearing a fence, dropped in the next field. Now was the time for the rip- line. As the balloon again careened to rise, the Professor pulled theline. The balloon was heard to slit, the car stood almost mo- tionless in the face of a brisk breeze, andina little less than seven minutes the balloon was spread flat on the grass. Time, 8:20 p. m. Returning to St. Aime in the morni ng, I came to this city. Grimley, Cowan and the balloon will reach Montreal via Yamaska and Sorel on Saturday morning. The balloon carried on this trip 2,350 ,0unds, distributed as follows: Ballast.490; coieen and netting, 650; car, 400; siX persons and fixings, 900. There was 165 pounds of ballastto spare on landing. The balloon is 70,000 feet in capacity, and is the largest in America. A number of gentlemen from Brook- lyn have examined the invention with a view to having the experiments made in New York. - — RIVER NEWS. For New Urlesns to-morrow, the Gold Dust.

DNCERNING COOPERS. Reasons Why the Sugar Refinery Resists the Strike—Thirty-first Day’s Proceedings at Vorwaerts Hall. A PosT-DISPATCH reporter called at the office ot the president and secretary of the Belcher Sugar Refinery, No. 202 North Second street, this morning, and was there furnished with the reasons that impel that company to so strenuously resist the strike of the coopers. Mr. Belcher being absent from the city, Mr. W L. Scott, secretary of the company, was relied o forthe necessary information. This gentle- man thought the coopers had a perfect right to strike, and that no one connected with the Su- ~gar Refinery bad any objection to their doing £0. Mr. Scott said that officers of the Refinery were willing to pay the increase demarded, but would not sign the contract under any circum- stances.

OPERS this morning ‘outine ot report upon pat no Ouis bst- nd brs as Change of Faith by a Jesuit Priest. A Woman Said to be the Cause of His Perversion. Interview With the Provincial of the Jesuits. The Rey. Theophilus Van de Moortel,a priest end a member of the Society of Jesus, hasbeen attached to the Church of the Holy Family, on West Twelfth street, in Chicago, a professor of Literature in St. Ignatius Col- jege. of life, athorough and accomplished scholar, and about thirty-five years of age. He native of one of the provinces of Holland or Belgium, and has been a meinber of the Order of Jesuits for eighteen yeurs. Like a number of other Jesuits he has been doing missionary work, for which his powerful eloquence fitted him thoroughly. While rccently engaged on one of these ails- sions beyond Chicago he was summoned by his sup¢eriortoreturntothe city, and the rever- end gentieman obeyed the order so far as re- turning to Chicago. but on his arrival here went to the house of Canon Kuowles, the priest in charge of the Pro- testaut Episcepal Cathedral, with whom he had a persoual acquaintance, From there he wrote a letter to the head of the Jesuit Oiderin that city, announcing his abandon ment of the society and of the Roman Catholie Church, and his. purpose to devote himself to the service of the Protestant Episcopal Church. This occurred some two weeks ago, since which time he has continued to reside at the house of Cauon Knowles. Thursday last,a week ago, be received some mivor orders in the Episcopal Church from Bishop McLaren, but, owing tothe canons of that church, can not be permitted to exercise the priestly func tions until after a probatioauury communion of Six months. A reporter of the PosT-DISPATCH called first on Bishop Ryan for sume _ information in regard to this defection from the ranks of the church. That prelate, however, had only learned of the apostacy at Roon to-day and was possessed of no additional information. fiHe was thunder-struck when of it, and said that perversion, especially in a priest, was the most rare occurrences in the chureh. The bishop doubted the truth of the rumor that some» more Jesuits were about tollowing in the same path, saying that he was positive this would prove to be the only apostacy. A visittothe Jesuit College, however, gave amuchlarger yield of infor- mation. The Jesuit house in Chicago, to which Father Vun fde Moortel was attached, is a part of the Jesnit piovince ot St. Louis and under the control of the provincial here, Father Hivgins, After a parlor the last named came in, andthe reporter ‘*Well,’’ said Father Higgins, already published is in the main accurate,’’ ‘*Yes, but we want particulars. it since Father Van de Moortelleit St. Louis?’’ ‘‘Justa vear.

The only suit filedin the Circuit Court this morning was a petition for divorce by Susan P. Faires from her husband, James O. Faires, The petition is a long one, and contains alle- gations of brutality and crime enough to make the plea a most reasonable one if all the charges can be substantiated. The parties were married in St. Clair county, Ill., August 28, 1873,and lived together peace- ably enough until after they moved to Texas, at Melissa,inwbich State the defendant shot at his wife after beating her and barely missed taking her life. A litfle time after this Faires tried to kill another wo- man who livedin Melissa, and, learning that the grand jury i of Collins county were about to indict him, he forced his wife to fly with bim back to their former home. Ilere, in March, 1875, he tried to cut their child’s throat but was prevented. Shortly afterwards he made a murderous assault on Capt.

FRIDAY EVENING, Annet 8, 1879.—The local money market remainsinavery quiet condi- tion, although it can hardly be called unsatis- factory. Banks generally had an excellentrun of business for several weeks up to the opening and the resultis that, although | they would be willing to accept a continued busy season, the present reaction is accepted very cheertully. Itisthe prevatiing opinion business will be good in a very weeks, and that there will be few a demand for which can be spared.

Outside of the regular banks business. was There was no demand and no special movement in Stocks were said to be firmer East, | but there was no activity here. | The opinions of the London Economist al- ways carry weight. and its statements are en- = led to respect. Referring to the close of Ju- , 1879, and comparing the situation with a ae pre ‘vious, it says: ‘‘Once more money at call is worth only 4% cent per annum, and bills are discounted at lessthan 1 per cent. The present position of the money market is £0 unusual that any attemptto look forward is surrounded by even greater difficulties than usual. ‘*‘A year ago we ventured, about this time, to refer to the peculiar dangers of the moment, but the circumstances are now greatly changed, Wehave passed through a sort of crisis caused, not so much by a dearth of mon- ey as by the collapse of credit; and the con- tinued depression of trade, combined with the diminution of foreign investments, has result- ed in an accumulation of capital which is quite unprecedented. ‘*The contrast (referring to figures comparing the condition of the Bank of Engiand in Jaly, 1879, and July, 1878) is certainly most re- mar ka bie. A year ago the position of the bank was tar fiom strong, and the probable demands were large. Accordingly earlyin August the rate was raised to five per cent, and remained ator above that figure during the whole of the rest ofthe year. Now the pos‘tion of the bank is perbaps stronger than it ever was known to be in ber history. We have got rid of some great causes of disturbance which existed a year back, but there may be othersin store of which we know nothing as yet. ‘*Last year there were possible demands for foreign loans, but these did not,in fact,amount to much; nor do we suppose that there wiil be any disposition to enteron such investments at present. The expenses of the holidays were then commencing on a greatscale. lrobably they will this year be less than usual, having regard to the condition of trade and the char- acter of the summer. Our importations ot food, ete.,; were very large a year ago, And ey will robably be pane this year. ‘Ter looked for fair, not whe | pooa nema oes 5s are told th me aimee . a Figs P FMS oi: Nae ei rf * oR aN Ra fame vali | kson Gardner legitimate | men | Would | of which | ull the money | ‘ | this showing we assume that the wants for the smallin size and moderate | On the street | 4 | the possible exports, There | A good deal of grain ts being | ' mand, against | 8, 1879, | | Corn. ra bulk, bu.

This may be true to some ex- tent, but we are disposed to think that many writers hardly uppreciate the amount of our claims on America on account of third parties which add to our purchasing power there, to say nothing of the suins due to us for interest on American investments. Itis suid tnat these bave been much reduced. Some have bought and more have sold American se- curities of late, and probably the valance in our hands is largely diminished; but, on the other hand, there are syinptons of more ac- tivity on the part of the American peo- ple as purchasers of English goods, and the present inflation of the American cur- rency makes them eag r to obtain anything rather ihan money frem us, and we confess that we shall feel surprised 1f our export of bullion to America this autumn should be of such magnitude as to cause a scarcity of inoney here, unless, indeed, our harvest should prove an entire failure.
