MECHLIN’S PASTORAL, A dispatch from Paris says: The Archbish- op of Mechlin, Belgium, in his recent pas- toral, asserts t hat the Popeis not infallible, except when he judges questions which rest on the testimony of God and that of His re- vealed truth and _ revealed law. This is intended to rebut the charge that the Bel- gian bishops are guilty of schism or disobedi- ence in disregarding the Pope’s admonitions respecting educational agitation. AN UNSOUND BISHOP. The bishop of Tuanday, a most violent op- ponent of the Liberal Cabinet, has been super- seded by an administrater appointed by the Pope. The Bishop’s mind is believed to be unsound. THE MINISTERIAL PROGRAMME. LONDON, December 2.—A correspondent at Paris,discussing the statement of the Jour nal des Debats that the ministry cannot possibly entertain the scheme for framing a programme for their acceptance, says that this is the only possible course open to the Cabinet. After the une attstude assumed by the ma- ; and we propose to give our custom- Bc 2 tion by- yee our + ecitire, . viital Council at fue War jority, nobody will be able to compre- hend how a majority so strong asthat of the present Chamber of Deputies, on which the Government has been leaning for ten months, can declare that it will not support this very Cuabinet, except on con- dition of framing a programme and imposing this on it, for every individual deputy has the right of submitting any bill, and interpellations followed by theorder of the day were devised only to enable the ma- jority to show the ministry the withdrawa lof its confidence. DISCUSSING THE VOTE, In discussing the probable vote of contfi- dence, which will end the crisis. by consoli- dating the ministry, the correspondent says: It seems beyond doubt this vote will be given, because the Left is not acting in com- mon accord with certain factions of the majority. It will . resist the fall of the Cabinet, and will foree the major- ity not to upset the Ministry which Gambetta does not wish to succeed, and whose only successor, apart froin Gambetta, could be De Freycinet, end this would always enable Gam- bette co wait his @wn time.

NEW YORK, December 2.—John Preston is now ontrial for assaulting Alfred Boynton with intent to kill, April22. The defense set up was insanity caused by jealousy and family troubles. The novel feature of the case was that the jury was composed entirely of mar- ried men, the defense objecting to the admission of single men to the jury-box, It appears that Preston had left his family on aceount of a dispute in regard to the man- agement of his children. His wife then sup- ported herself and her children by doing sewing for Boynton, who wasa shirt manu- facturer and who frequently came to the house.

Red Raiders. Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, December 2.--The Times has a special from Winnepeg, which says: Advices received to-day from the Territories say the © situation thereis becoming serious. The In- dians are coming in in large nume- bers to the mounted po- lice stations and settlements, demanding fcodand threatening to take it by foree. At Prince Albert anumber of Indians made a raid on cattle belonging to white settlers, and car- ried them off. Capt. Herchmer, of the mounted police, with twenty men, ar- rested three of the ringleaders, and was conveying them to the police barrack at Shoal Lake, when a body of Indians, armed with Winchester rifles, stopped him atthe ford and THREATENED TO MASSACRE every White inthe district if the prisoners were not released. Herchmer released them at Fort McLeod. Twenty-eicht hundred In- dians came in saying they were starvy- ing. Provisions are arriving from Fort Benton, but not in a quantity sufficient to relieve their distress. Buffalo were reported going north, but the herds still kept on the American side. Canadian In- dians are afraid to cross 1n pursuit, the Amer- ican tribes threatening to attack them. SITTING BULL with seventy-five warriors is encamped fifty miles southeast of Fort Walsh. He is very ill and despondent. His followers are all going north to Prince Albert, raiding stores, settlers’ houses and traders, wagons on the way. Martin, the famous missionary and now Bishop of St. Paul, has had a conference with the police recarding Sitting Bull’s return to the States. Sitting sull will not go back unless he receives ample guarantee that he will not be punished or sent ona strange reservation, and he wants to retain his arms. As at present situated, he is harmless, THE YOUNG WARRIORS have deserted him and gone North. Settlers in the Prince Albert country are drilling. Arms and ammunition have been received from thea Dominion Government, and a battalion, or- ganized a month ago by Col. Osborn Smith, commander of the Dominion forces in the Northwest, now number five hundred men. They are under the command of an ex- officer of the British army. Capt. Seott’s companies haye also been formed in the out- lying settlements, and recruiting for the po- lice is going on actively. Lieut.-Gov. Laird is ‘still in Battleford, but the women and children have left § for Winnepeg. THE FUR TRADE is at a complete standstill, owing to the scarcity of buffalo. Pemmican is selling at forty cents a pound, and none coming in. The Dominion Government and the Hudson Bay Company are making great exertions and sparing no expense to relieve the distress, but the want of transportation is a serious draw- back. Col. Richardson, stipendiary Magistrate of Battleford, and Mr. Dewdry, chief Indian Commissioner, are in Ottawa conferring with the Government on the posi- tion of affairs. Canadian Indians blame the Government for permitting the American Sioux to settle on Canadian soil and slaughter buffalo out of season. AT PRINCE ALBERT a Jarge body of Minnesota Sioux has been set- tled for some years, and Sitting Bull’s people are joining them and urging them to join in the uprising. Laird has gone to sce the Min- nesota Sioux to warn them against the Tret- ons. Boys’ iron-clad,common sense school shoe, at Joel Swope’s, 311 N.

In- deed, the surroundings generally are very beautiful. The lake has its history. and re- miniscences cluster around it for the fature historian to delve for. Tl name itself—the sroken Heart—t significant and poeticand has reference to the the lake, which is cleft byastrip of land running through it. At presentthe lake is plentifully upplied with croppy, pike, and sun- beh; the bottoms with quail, grouse, squir- rels, wild turkeys, ducks, geese and swans; but when our city nimrods and Izaak Waltons get wind of the matter they will undoubtedly cepart for less dangerous quarters. THE RACE COURSE will animportant feature. has thus far contributed to the success of the regattas at Peoria and Keokuk, a untilour boating me n can provide a suitable race-c ourse, St. Louis’ turn may come and go, and the opportunity cannot be improved, The course would be three miles long, three-quarters of a mile wide, and would lie from southeast to northwest, with a ten- dency to due north and south. Another im- portant matter which is lost sight of isthe fact that tbe outlet ofthe lake is not more than thirtyfor forty feet wide, and, bv its damming, the water in the lake could be raised to avery important extent. There are a number of other rea- sons Why Creve Cour should be the future pleasure ground of St. Louis, and the fact is being so well appreciated at present that there is scarcely a doubt of its being util- ized for that purpose. With such a watering place at our very doors, it is indeed singular that it has not been turned to this important use before. One thing is certain, the boating men and others in the community will do everything in their power to make Creve Cour a pleasant adjunct of life in St. Louis. It is understood that the Modoc Boating Club has agreed to transfer its boat-house thither as soon as the contemplated improve- ments sre takenin hand. Mr. St. John is an enthusiastic supporter of the project to make Creve Cour the scene of future St. Lous re- gwattas. ; I ae Money and Marriage in Paris. The place given to money in Parisian mar- riages tells heavily upon the poor, .especially upon those who are obliged to wear the livery of respectability, The cost of service in the churches seems skillfully planned in the_ manner best suited to goad to expense not only vanity, but self-respect also. Custom, too, makes burdensome levies on tle purse. There must be carriages tothe Mayor’s offiec and to thechureh;the bride must have her outfit, and there must be an entertainment. eo Po anger of lilk ike, CITY ie , shape of bass by St. Louis marri *.

A very important decision is now expected from the Supreme Court, which, ifit goes favorably to the city, will add forty thousand dollars yearly to the municipal revenue.

AMUSEMENTS. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE.—A_ very fair Mon- day night audience was nt at the Grand Opera-house last evening, when the orchestra commenced the overture of Max Maretzek’s American opera of *‘Sleepy Hollow.’’ Tae composer directed his own work,and as he has drilled and schooled both orchestra and chorus andimpressed hisown conception on the soloists a fairer trial could not have*been civen to What is termed an_ especially American musical production. The verdict passed last evening when the curtain fell was eminently favorable and satisfactory. Altthough called an American opera, there is really little thatis American init except so far as tbe subject is concerned. The music is most strongly flavored of the Italian school, With a goodly admixture ofthe French anda slicht essence of the German. Nevertheless, the work is thoroughly enjoyable and inclu: - some real musical gems: whic! are destined to become popular. Over- sionally there are memories of arias from other operas, but Max Maretzek must at anyrate be congratulated upon having offered the public a certainly enjoyable musical feast. The composer has caught the spirit of Irv- ing’s legend of the old Knickerbocker com- munities, aml the musie is thoroughly en rap- port with the story ofthe work. Brightness, melody and fluency character- ize the musical illustration, while it is well set for the voices, skillfully contriv- ed, and very dramatic in tts qualitv. The characteristics of the music are essentially its melodiousness and its humor. The solo parts were rich in several delightful arias, some of which are apt illustrations of the development of the story. The spinning wheel song is ex- quisite, and also the tenor song, *‘Katrina, do you know vot’s der matter?” Katrina’s solo, The moon shines bright aud her mellow light Is silvering valley and hill, is positivelyagem. The dance music is also a most spirited and graceful bit of composi- tion, There is not the least reason to doubt that Maretzek’s opera will prove a permanent suc- cess. Of the libretto by Charles Gayler much cannot ve said. The dialogue is weak and trashy. The chorus and orchestra were both good, the former was fresh and stropg and excellently prepared, while the latter was thoroughly at home and played with precision, accuracy and expression. Miss Annis Montague, who interpreted the role of Katrina Van Tassel], has improved in voice since her last visit here, and displayed much dramatic ability. She was repeatedly encored and was the Seaeare of the perform- ance. Mrs. Knox 4s Frau von Spuyten lacked histrionic talent and gave a poor representa- tion of what might be madea most dramatic and effective role. Shesings with considéra- ble spirit, but the part did not show her voice to advantage. r. Gardiner as Ichabod Crane was tolerably effective, but his persona- tion was wanting in that unctuous humor which is associated with the role of the school- master, Mr. Fink as Van Ness earned de- served applause ‘tSleepy Hollow’ repeated to- night.

The POsT-DISPATCH stated last week the opinien that the Bowers-Thompson Com- bination would be found one of the best on the road, and it now has nothing to retract. Con- cerning the portrayal of the brief histories in the lives of Bloody Mary and her unfortunate cousin, it is hard to criticise where there issomuch to praise. The support ranges from gocdtovery ordinary, but in the main is satisfactory. As the unfortunate daughter of Henry Grey, andthe erstwhile playmate of Edward the Sixth, and later the wearer of an unsoucht crown, Miss Thompson gives something to be remembered asastrong and very realistic characterizstion.. With a handsome face and figure, good, clear enunciation‘and effective Stuge business, itis not difficult to forvet for the nonce that the scene behind the footlights is but mimic life. In the scene with John Dudley,when Lady Jane begs that she be not given the crown to satisfy his ambitious schemes: later when she learns of the treacherous sacrifice of the King, and againin the prison scene Miss Thomps nt improves her opportunities most strongly,and proves that she has few rivals. Of the Mary Tudor of Mrs. little canbe said unless lavish bestowed. This ladv has always orite here, and time seems low early prominences and strengcth and richness to her acting. The ab- sorbing love for Guilford and hatred for all who crossed her path, and the portrayal of all the plots and counter-plots which culminated atlastina wholesale butchery bv the heads- man, and the winning of the deserved title of ‘**Bloody Marvy, are all shown artistically and effectively. Both ladies were called twice before tbe curtain and received enthusiastic ay age As the erafty, ambitious and fearless Ear! of Northumberland, Mr. YcColiom has found a character for which he is fitted by both temper and physique. The strident tones and harsh angularties, Which in the character of the lover become painfully apparent, fit the part of John Dudley as the acorn its shell. Mr. Thorne was insufferably weak early in play, but the evening wore on he ned to warm to his work and coneluded by fair performance.

Man Escape. [From the New York Sun.| Some time ago ex-Judge Troy, of Brooklyn, became the possessor of the Siberian biood- hound ‘‘Satan,’’ Known to sporting men throughout the countrv as a terrible fighter. But the dog wus so treacherous in bis disposi- tion that ex-Judge Troy turned him over to a clerk 1n his office, Mr. E. llaering, who, having been an athletic performer in a number of cir- cuses, had become accustomed to entering the cages of wild beasts, under the instructions ofa number ofanimal trainers. Mr.Haering agreed to take the dog to his father’s premises in At- lantic, near Alabama avenue, East New York, providing that ex-Judge Troy would pay for the animal’s keeping. Mi. Troy willingly consented to this, and a cage ten feet long, seven feet wide, and ten fect high was con- structed in Mr. Haering’s garden, and ‘-Satan’’ was placedinit.

After giving the dog meat, Haering procured some water, stepped with it into the cage, and then bolted the eage on the outside. went inton the cage to feed the ammals, and always on such oceasions carried a heavy, loaded riding whip. neglected to take the whip with him. into the garden to Haer- ing set the pan of water on the floor, but the | dog seemed disinclined to drink, refused to be patted, and walked restlessly up and down | the cage Haering saw that ‘‘Satan’’ was in one of his worst humors, and turned to go out of the exge. He had no sooner turned his back than the anumal sprang mayen him. Haering threw himself to one side, but the dog’s paw struck bim on the shoulder. and dog and man fell to the floor together. ° Haering sprang quickly to his feet and the dog jumped at bim and sunk bis teethinto the man’s rightarm.

The dog feli back with Haering on top. their feet, and Haering sprang for the the cage.’ ‘The dog dushed at him again, vute intu his shaggy neck. He failed, but caught the dog’s cur with his teeth and held on until he had cut it off, and then he hurled the brute to the floor and fell himself.

In the struggle both fell again, and the dog lacerated Haerivg’s left hand. ‘*Unbolt the gate quick’ shouted Haering to the men who were standing fifty feet away, but no one Gared come to the rescue. Hinering thentbrew himself on the dog and set his teeth inits throat, and at the same time grasped the dog by the upper jaw with his right band, pressing down the lower jaw with bis left arm until the flesh at the sides of the dog’s mouth wastorn. by the strain.

Erection of a Mar ble Her Remains in Spencer County, Inil- ana—The Patriotic Generosity of Mr. Studebaker, of South Bend. [Duspatch to the Cincinnati Gazette. } ROCKPORT, IND., November 17.—Sixty-one years last October Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of Abraham Lincoln, the martyr Pres- ident, died in her bhusband’s cabin, on the farm upon which the 4ately laid-off village of Lincoln City is located. The village is a sta- tion on the Rockport and Cincinnati Railroad, in Carter township, Spencer county, twenty miles north of Rockport. The farm is that upon which Abraham Lincoln’s father squatted in 1810, on his re- moval from Hardin county, Ky., the year Indiana was admitted intothe Union and two years before the county of Spencer was organized. The Lincoln famiiy settled literally in the woods, for the forest was then unbroken, and here in this wild region they commenced making a farm when Abraham was but seven years and six months old. The father maintained himself and family by hunt- ing and fishing and occasional days of labor for his neighbors until he got enough land cleared to bear him a crop—the first crop being plant- ed upon ten acres, all dotted over withstumps and grubs. lt took nearly two years of hard labor to make this ‘‘clearing’’ ready for the plow and hoe, Nancy Lincoln was in all reg to her husband, and toiled early and late assist him in providing for the support their family. Your correspondent now recalls a statement made to him in 1862 by an ola citizen of Spencer county in relation to Nanéy Lireolnu. He said he knew her well during her entire residence in Spencer county, and that she Was a woman of superior natural erlowments of mind, though of little education, and of great amiability and kindness of heart. ‘*My recol- lection ot Mrs. Lineoln,’’;said he, ‘*is she was, in the later years of her life, an inva- iid, and underweut great physical suffering as aresultof the privations and exposure she wes compelled to undergo in her pioneer life. But she was always gentle, always kind. She had a sweet expression of countenance,though her face bore the lines of great physical siffer- ing. She was far more energetic than her hus- band, and was quick-witted, witha great rel- ish for the humorous and a keen appreciation of the ludicrous. She used to occasionally scold het husband; but he paid little atten- tion to her ‘chirping,’ as he styled her com- plaints at his want of activity.’” It was on this farm that Abraham Lincoln had his home until he reached his twenty- first year, being born February 12, 1809,— three years after the marriage of his father and mother—in Hardin county, Ky., and re- moving with his father’s family to Lllinois in 1830, Nearly fifteen years of his youth,there- fore, were passed in Spencer county. Nancv Lincoln was 2 most loving and brave as she was tender. She deed, a true representative of— The Motbers of our Forest Land, Whose bosoms pillowed mea! And proud were they by such to stand In hammock, tort or glen; To load the sure old rifle— To run the leaden ball— To watch a battiing husband's place, And fi}l it should he fall. As stated above, Nancy Lincoln died in October, 1818, when Abraham was but nine and a half years old, and was buried near the present site of Lincoln City, where, ever since ber remains have lain, unmarked by sculptured pile or evena plain marble slab.

What Eli Perkins Discovere1 While He was in St. Louis. [Correspondence Chicago Tribune. } St. Louis. Mo., November 2).—‘**By plac- ing your eye upon the two black lines,’ said « great railroad President in St. Louis to meto- day as we stood before a map, ‘‘you will see the two new trans-continental railroads that are now rushing to completion. The upper black line running from Kansas City to Santa Fe, Albuquerque and on around to San Fran- cisco, is the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Road. ‘+ and the lower line?’’ ‘**TLat represents the Southern Pacifie and the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Read, which are to meet at El Paso.’ ‘*'Then the Soutbern Pacitic, which we all thought was coming east to meet the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, has changed its route? ” I said. ‘*Yes, the Southern Pacific, with Leland, Stanford, Huntington, and Charles C rocker, with their hundred millions of money. behind it, isgcing toturn soutb. They can’t agree with the Boston people whe are building the Santa Fe Road. So they have joined interests with Mr. Pierce, who is building his Galveston and San Antonio Road west of San Antonio towards the Rio Grande River and Fort Bliss or El Paso. Both these roads are now laying track as fast as thev can. and within two yeurs they will meet at E] Paso, or atsome point south of the Rio Grande, and there will bea new Pa- cific Railroad from San Francisco to Galves- ton, and thence onto New Orvleans, Mobile and Savannah. This will shorten the route from 8S: an Francisco to Savannah almost 1,000 miles.’ **But doesn’t it break up Tom Scott’s pro- jected Texas and Pacific Road?’’ ‘*Certainly. That road will haveto be post- poned. Of course it will be built some time, but not within the next ten years, It won’t be needed. The Southern Pacitic by El Paso, Suan Antonio. Galveston, and New Orleans heads off the Texas and Pacific for years to come. Ithas got Pierce and a rich Boston crowd atthe San Antonio end working like Druids, and Huutington, Stanford, and Crocker at the Arizonaend. You can’t stop | ee ‘*Whatis thisthat we hear aboutthe Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe going into San Franciseo on the old charter of the St. Louts and San Francisco?’’ I asked. ‘*Well, the Boston men who own the Santa Fe Road couldn’t agree with the Southern Pacilic people, and now they have concluded to go to San Francisco and San Diego over me old right of Wey viven by the Government t the St. Louis and San francisco. The St. Louis and San Franeciseo Road, which stops at Vinitain tbe I[n-lian nation, has sold its charter to the Santa F: ople. ‘-W bat was that charter?” ‘Well, in 18t Congress granted tothe St. Louis end San Frai Roud, thea ealied the Atlantic and Pacific, the right to build a road through from St. Louis to San Franciseo. Not only this. Con: also gave 53,000,009 acres Of land totbatroad toaid in building it, and stipulated that it might consolidate with ony otherroad. ThesSt. L ancl Francisco at ad trie “cl hard to consolidate with Tom Scott’s Texas Pacitic. That fell through, and now it bas consolidated with the Atechi- son, ‘Topeka and Santa Fe, and that road will complete the road to San Pr uncisco and take the 53,000,000 acres of land. ‘**No connection with the Southern then’’’ ‘*-No. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe people are rich. With this 55,000,009 ae of iand they can go on and build the roal. Their read already completed to Santa Fe, and will be down to Albuquerge in a few weeks. Then they wi!l runone branch down the Rio Grande to El Paso and the other on over to Fort Yuma, where they will strike tide-water.’’ ‘*Does this scheme of the Santa Fe trouble Gould and his Uniou Pacitic?’’ ‘Of course it does. It is driving him des- perate. ‘To head them off, Gould is trying to vet bold of all the connections east from Kan- sas City. You know he now controls the Missouri Pacific, the Wabash and the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northerh. But he can never head off the Santa Fe people. Why, the Rock Island Road already runs into Atchison and Leavenworth, a few miles from Kansas City, andthev are soon to build it through. T he n the Chicagy. Burlington and Quincy will soon run direct to St. Joseph and Atchison, and the Chicago and Alton runs clear to Kansas City. So you see Mr, Gould will never be able to absorb all of these jines.”? ‘*What branches have?’’ ‘*Well, they will run down the Rio Grande to E] Paso, and when they go west to the Colo- rado River, which is navigable, you know, for 400 miles, they will be met bv the Southern Utah Road, which already runs down about 100 miles towards St. George from Salt Like. Thus Salt Lake and Ogden will bave an outlet without going over the Union Pacific.’ **Tlow will allthis help Chicago?’’ ‘*Why, it will break up the Union Pacific menopoly. San Francisco does not trade with Cheago now. Freights are too high. California trades with New York, and has her freigbt shipped around by the ocean. Six cents per pound over the Union Pacitic sends the Chinese tea trade through the Suez Canal to New York. whenit ought to come to San Francisco and over the Union Pacific. When the Santa re is completed,Chicago will not receive cargoes of Chinese freight via the Suez Canpaland New York. She will get it straight from China throuch California, and save the freight from New York to Chicago,’ ‘*Then the fight is to be between Gould and the Sante Fe?’’ ‘Yes: andit will be to the knife. Gould will try to keep them out of Denver aad Salt Lake, but the Santa Fe people are rich, and they Will make a strong fight. The whole thing is out of Congressional! jurisdiction now. The Santa Fe has the right of way and the 53,000 acres of land, andit will be death to Boston if it don’t win.’’ ELI PERKINS. petal amnaithialledeade The Oldest Known litigant.

In 1852, Duffy was in great need of $200, and Doran offered to fiv him the money out- right, provided Duffv would agree to allow bim to pass the remaining vears of his life in the house rent free. Duffy died a few vears afterward, but Doran finally lived on, Mrs. Duffy keepin the agreement her bus- band had made.

A new house agent was employed some time ago, and he calculated that Derap had paid $7 40 rent a year, or, with the in- terest added, $20 66. After making the cal- cwation, he notified Doran that he must pay more rent or remove from the house, and when Doran refused to do either, Degan pro- ceedings before Justice Flanagan.

The Post- DIsrPatcu will be a family and ftre- side paper.

Had the claim- ant been as bold as he is cunning, he might have stepped in and seized the Presidential chair with unlawful hands. He was no Crom- well. He was no Napoleoneven. Let his tomb be inscribed: ‘‘His timidity was greater than his ambition; his economy than his opportuni- ties.’’ (Great laughter and applause.] The poison then introduced into the national body has been fully neutralized by two circum- stances: One was the wise and tranquil course of the Administration, grounded on the restor- ation of business without violerice, until the flocks are now feeding in green pastures, by still waters, knee-deepin clover. The other was the conviction that the contestant was singularly unfitted for tne leadership of a na- tion such as ours. For the sottiement of this great difficulty itis hard to tell whether we should be most thankful to Mr. Hayes orto Mr. Tilden. THE country generally acknowledges the immense benefits that must come to St Louis from the recent railroad changes In speaking of the speech Jay Gould made to the merchants here a few days ago, and which, if it had not been for the enterprise of the Post-Dispatcu, would never have been published, the Denver News has these sensible remarks: The talk of Mr. Gould with the business men of St. Louis is fullof significance. Asa great railway king, heretofore one of the bulwarks New York, he in favor of the | fully into all the | should exult | of resum | credit | kind Providence, standard silver dollars | sidiary | amount of standard 8 to the sea tind to Ha- — fact that be bas been getting hola of nearly ali the lines weet of the Mississippi, will arouse the attention of the whole country. It indi- cates a great change of base. Grain can be carried trom 8t. Louis to New Orleans in barges at four cents a bushel, while to ship itbyratl to the Atlantic ports costs twenty cents a bushel. From New Orleans to Europe, though the distance is greater than from New York, the cost upon grainin bulk is bardly three cents per bushel more. The com- pletion of the jetties makes this route entirely feasible. For some years steamers have been taking out a quantity of erain with their cotton cargoes trom the Crescent City, and deep wa- ter at the mouth ofthe river will now enable the largest vessels to take full loads. Grain puts a ship down much deeperinto the water than cotton. This prospect of New Orleans becoming a great exporting and importing point for the West has its bearing on the future of Denver. Steamers now bring goods out from Liverpool to New Orleans ascheap as to New York, but the great importing houses are not there yet. New York bas ajl the capital and business. Mat supposing that this will change to a cer- tain extent,the West's foreign goods will enter at New Orleansin bond, and, coming up the river, be distributed from St. Louis by rail. SHERMAN’S REPORT—THE BUSINESS OF THE NATION. The annual report of Mr. John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, is just published and naturally excites more than the usual attention bestowed upon such documents. It is quite lengthy, and is not only a busi- communication to Congress on the affairs of the Government, but is a skillfully prepared campaign paper in- tended to the interests of the author, who has frankly admitted that he is a candidate for the Presidency. The report begins with a tabulated state- expenditures for 30, The total receipts were 184. OF this, $137,250,042 came from customs and $11 the The ordinary experditures amounted to $265,- 947,883. $105,527, went for interest on the public debt. The receipts excecded the expenditures b JOHN ness financial advance ment of the receipts and the fiscal year ending June 1879. $272,827 a 561,610 from internal revenue.

The ing November 1, 418, In of these statement is made: The very large taxes paid by the national banks to the national, State and municipal suthorities have beena great aid in relieving other property fromthe burden of taxution, and in the aggregate are more than the interest at four per cent on their entire circulation. Thus the large amount of non-taxable United States bonds held bytbem became taxable, and these taxes are in effect pai.l for the tran- chise they enjoy of issuing circulating notes. In regard to the internal revenue, it is shown that of the $113,918,466 cellected for the year ending June 30, 1879, $103,434,607 came from spirits, fermented liquors and tobacco. The increase of the revenue from spirits was $2,149,000, while the increase of the tobacco revenue was only $62,247. The falling off in the latter is, of course, at- tributed to the reduetion in the tax which was brought about by the last Congress. The Secretary recommends that the tax on tobacco, spirits and fermented liquors be allowed to remain as it is, as changes of any kind have a tendency to disorganize business and diminish the reyenue. In speaking of commerce and navigation the interesting but humiliating statement is , made that, in 1857, over 75 per cent of the merchandise imported and exported was carried in vessels of the United States, while. at present only 23 per cent of the same is carried by such vessels, though the total volume of trade has risen from a value of $700,000,000 to $1,200,000,000. In regard to exports and imports, it is shown that the -excess of exports over imports for this year is Pele agcregate circulation outstand- 1879, Was to national banks, $337,181,- regard the taxing this interesting lied increase of | Sherman said in one of his reports to $40,986,912: of | . ¢ » { ea ee ee Wy ~ -— silver bullion and coin have exceeded the exports ,125,337. The remainder of the report is devoted to various matters, such as light-houses, coast and geological survey, claims, life saving service, marine hospital service, etc. If Congress should undertake to wrestle with one-half the questions sug- gested, it will not have time to legislate about anything except the Treasury De- partment. They Will Not Vote. {From the New York Commercial Advertiser. | Last year the Massachusetts Legislature pass- ed a law to allow women to vote for members of the Schoo! Boards. This year they are to exercise the privilege for the first time, and it was to have been expected, from all the noise that has been made by the Women’s Righters in that State, that they would come out strong. But the registration books show that only 3,- 000 of the 300,000 women in Massachusetts competent to vote came out, and of these 900 were in Boston. But even. 3,000 ballots will not be cast, as many of the women who regis- tered said they would not vote, but had simply placed their names on the books to show their sympathy with the cause. And yet it is said the leaders of the movement intend to make greater demands this winter than éver before. -— —_— Boss Shepherd Still Grant’s Friend. 1From the Hartford Times’ Washington Letter. ] From the Chicago papers it appears that Boss Shepherd, of District Ring famc, attended the big banquet given to Grant in Chicago on the special invitation of Grant himself. It will be remnembered that it was given out, while Grant wasin Europe, that he had made up his mind to give up all of his old associates of the Bel- knap, Babcock, Tom Murpby and Boss Shep- herd order, and that he would never encourage or allow themto be about him any more. It would seem, from the fact that Shepherd wasa particular invited guest on the occasion of the banquet in Chicago, that thereis no truthin the statement that Grant intended to shaxe off the gang that brought his administration into public disrepute.

Court-room No. 1 was again the legal Mecca of the day. The insurance menn,proximate and remote, occupied all the available sitting room overflowing the jury box and inundating the bar. A number of docketed cases were first ais- posed of, and the case of Bent against Priest called. Mr. Bent sat behind Col. Gantt, and had rather a sleepy expression as though he was getting a little weary of the htigation. Mr. Priest was in close consultation with Messrs. Garesche and Holmes. PRIEST'S DEPOSITION READ. When the Court was ready for the case Mr. Glover selected ajbulky document from the pule before him, saying: ‘‘First I will read the deposition of John G. Priest as an admis- sion—’’ ‘*We object, your Honor; the defendantis here in person; let them put himonthe stand,’’ said Mr. Garesche. ‘*We are putting bim on the stand.’’ **All right then.’ **‘In this,’’ and Mr. Glover began to unfold the iegal cap containing Mr. Prisst’s addition to the insurance literature of Missouri. ‘*This is a quibble, ’* suid Mr. Garesche, in- Cignantly; *‘‘here isthe witness who has been subpcenaed by the plaintilft.’ Mr. Garescbe then was about to argue the case, when he discovered that he needed one volume of the Missouri Reports. He went for it himself, not believing in the messeng3r who offered his services, and shortly returned, an- nouncing himself mistaken in the nature of the case and submitting to the reading of the depo- sition. Then Mr. Glover reopened the paper and announced that this was the deposition ot John G. Priest, then changed his mind about the m atter and said that Mr. Bent had made a mistake about the depositions and given hin Wyman’s instead of Priest’s. The trouble was righted aud the reading went on. There was nothing very exciting in the depo- sition, as all the world knows the papers was printed in fulkin the POST-DISPATCH when they were first filed. An occasional objection was languidly inserted by counsel, which was con. batted in a sleepy way and finally let drop. The paper was notcffered as a deposition, but a8 an admission. Occasionally a stray objection would bring out a slight clash of arms between the lawyers, but everything quieted down. At the conclusion ot the deposition MR. AUGUSTUS w HART, a stoc k and bond broker, was culled and ex- ami:.ed by Mr. Glover. ‘*Whataretne Atchison, Northwestern bonds worth? **Ninety cents.’’ ‘*What interest do they pay? After objection bY counsel the witness an- swered, **seven per cent.

I needa no remarks from as young aman as youare, andit thisis repeated I will reach you a lesson that you will not soon torget.’’ ‘* Thank you.’’ On cioss-examination the witness testified that the value of the bonds in the failot 1373 was about 60 o1 61 cents. CAET. SILAS BENT was then called by Mr. Glover. ‘‘Preasestate at what time you knowl dge of Mr. Priest's liability.’ ‘Lhe question was objectea to by the oppos- iny counsel, because it was designed to offset a detense which had not been set up, and on several other technical grounds. ‘*] would ask,’’ suid the witness, ‘‘if you mean when I became satisfied or when! first hesrd the rumors of 1t?’’ ‘*‘When you bad first credi tion.’’ Objected to by Mr. Garesche. ‘*Vhe matter was brought to the attention of the joint receivers about twelve months ago, but it was not then thought good to push the matter.’’ The answer was ru'ed out execpt as tothe tin.e when the intormation was received. ‘*Did that information wentionthe name of Jobn G&G.

Glo- ver to the Court,’’ said the witness. ‘*Was that the next intelligence?’ ‘*¥eer, sir.°** ‘What was the date of that?’’ Don" t remember; think it wasin April.’ A pause otf about ‘three minutes: was ei taken to accommodate a passing brass band, and the cros-examination was then taken up. THE CHAMPERTY DEFENSE OVERRULED Capt. Bent was then asked by Mr. Holmes about the notice said to have been served upon bim to produce the letters, papers and indem- nity bona. Mr. Glover stated that the old question was coming up again, that it had been adjudi- cated once, taking up the time otthe Coultand the counsel. He referred to tLe defense of champeity, which the defense were continually bringing torward, Mr. Holmes seid that be had nineteen com- mon law cases in which champerty was used as a good defense, and stated that the habeas corpus case was not a prececdient in this matter, The Court stated that the trust char- acter of the seceivership was in itself apart of the court, and that that fact was enough to bar the detense of champerty. Mr. Holmes made a long and logical speech, arguing the caseand adducing some nineteen common iaw proceedings. The court overruled the delense of chawper- ty, saying that the theory was that the court could donowrong, and as the receiver was apart ot the court he could not commit cham- perty. ‘'lhen your Hionor infallible ?’ ‘*Thatisthe theory, sir.’’ At this, of course, the defense had their ob- jections noted, and their attention was again directed to the witness, Capt. Bent. WHAT DOES THE DEFENSE WANT TO PROVE? A strong attempt was then made-.to show whatthe defense wanted to prove, and the questions were significantly and vicions- ly put, there being more tem- per cisplayed than at any other part of the trial. The examination was con- ducted by Mr. Holmes and watched by Mr. Glover. ‘*Did not Mr. John M. Glover personally guarantee the expenses of this suit to you, file an indemnity bond and offer to take a contin- gent fee?’’ Objection made and sustained bv the court. ‘*Did not the contract between you and Col Ganttand Mr. Glover consist of letters, one from them to you, the other from yuu to them ?’’ Objection made and sustained. ‘*Did they not offer to tuke ga contingent fee of twenty-five percent of the amount re- covered?’ j Ol jected to and objection sustained. ** Did not the indeuinity bond exist when the contingent fee of twenty-five per cent was set- tled upon?’’ Objection as before. ‘*Was notthe contract modified by beisg drawn fromthe letters and put on one piece ot pe per?’ Ditto objections. ‘*‘You knowot no authority for the institu- tion of this snit other than that given by Joh L. or Mary Shethar?’’ Answered by witness— ‘*None.’’ ** Does not the contract dated November 15, 1879, , provide for a contingent fee of 25 per cent? Ob ie ction made and sustained. ‘*Do you know Mary L. Shethar?’’ Objection made, and, by way of a chasge, overruled, . hs neany a | I do not.’’ ‘*That is all.’’ **That closes the case forthe plaintiff,’’ said Mr. Glover. Mr. Garbsche tried ut this point to have the case thrown out of court, under a decision in the Sixty-eighth Missourt, and was overruled. JUDGE GEO. A.

Mr. Glover the several reasons why * the ment sbonld be oral, among that it was the only possible way in wh case could be thoroughly ventilated; tia wes a test case to be followed by the Lewis gation, and he decidedly objected to anyth but oral argument. Mr. Holmes stated that he was oppe to cducating M. Gloverup to the Lewis at Mr. Priest’s expense and that the vie expressed by Judge Adums &t the noon rece were good enough for him. Judge Adams said that he would not hear ora argument, counsel must prepare briefs, @x- change them for opposition comment, and then poss them into court. , Everybody stretched themselves and began a quest ol their hats and overcoats, and the annoucement of somebody, name unknown, against the city of St. Louts, was the judicial annanucement that the cause cele- breot Bent against Priest was finished. ‘‘How will the decision go, Mr. [riest?’’ asked the reporter. ‘Oh there is only one way it can go. the ju Ug ine nt must be in my tavor. “Which way will the judgment go, Mr Glover?'’ asked the reporter later. **it is only i question whet er Mfr.

A iH How He Kept His Mother’s Birth- Day. — — -—-- -~—}Y--— An English Youth Mourned as Dead, But Yet Alive—Probate Granted to His Represen- tatives—A Friend Discovers Him in California. [From the London Telegravh, Nov. 13.) Few dramatists or novelists have ever con- ceived a story more sincular than that of Ran- dolph Payne, which has just been unfolded in acourtoflaw. Inthe month of October, 1878, Mr. Randolph Payne was living appar- ently in content with his parents at Moulsey- There was no presumption and, as single in-the-Thames. of his being in debt or difficulties, was natural in the case of a frec and man, he one day announced his intention of running down to Wales for a short holiday, He did not conceal his object or his destina- tion, and he promised faithfully to be back on a certain day. in order to keep his mother’s birthday at home. He arrived at Barmouth on a Saturday night, and, putting up ata hotel, he remained idly lounging about until the Monday morning, when he was seen leaving the house very ear!v in order to bathe inthe sea. There was ‘“yovstery or concealment whatever. He left his watch and trmkets onthe dressing- tabie of bis room, a good and subst intial breakfast had been ordered to await him on bis return, and he was seen going down to the sea clad ina long ulster coat and swinging his bathing towels. Laterin the day, at a seclud- ed spot onthe beach, were found the clothes of Randolph Payne, left where he had put them off, and, as nothing more was seen of him. the only conelusion that could be ar- rived at was the very natural one that the bather had been drowned. Careful search was made, but no body was dis- covered. The parents were communicated with, and ih a state of great mental dis tress they came aown to Barmouth to identi- fv the clothes found on the beach and the trinkets left in the room. That birthday which was to have been so happy at home with the affectionate mother was spent In mourning fora lost son, advertisements of the death were inserted in the papers, and the legal representatives after a decent inter- val proceeded to the distribution of the sup- possed dead man’s effects. Among these were certain policies of insurance, and it be- came necessary for the father to apply on the Ist of April of the present year, or six months after the dispppearance, for a grant of administration on presumption of death. Insurance companies are notori- ously—and perhaps justly—sensitive in paying up policies without the actual proof of death. which inthis instance it was impossible to hand ik unless fhe sea delivered up its dead. But thafacts Appeared to beso clear to the court, al © details of the case were so dis- taessing. that the grant of administration was accorded. The natnral supposition was that the man was drowned, and the President of the court, inspite of a previous case tried before the late Chief Baron, in which the in- surance company resisted a claim, and the jury found for the plaintiff under almost pre- cisely similar circumstances, didnot hesitate to give the legal represt ntatives the ye of the doubt. Here ends the first scene changes in July San Francisco, where there arri\ ald Drysdale, a merchant of ‘a who, having known the Payne family inti- mately, Was well ableto recognize the fora and features of their fi ite ind the person Mr. Drysdate San Francisc was Randolph Payne. There was no disguise; the recognition was instant and complete. The city merchant bad left his old friecds in England mourning for their ‘he had grobably read the obituary advertisement and seen the commemorative headstone: he might well have added his generous comfort to soothe the nattral sorrow of the dis- tressed mother: he was familiar with the convincing details of the clothes left on the shore, the watch and rings foundin the room, the ordered breakfast, and all the pre- sumptive evidence ofan accident; while all the time here was Randolph Payne, the truant, living under an assumed name in San Francisco, careless of the agony he had caus- ed, and satistied with the ‘**death in life’’ which he had willfully and deliberately as- sumed. The explanation of this strange pro- ceeding Was yerv simple. The runaway was im pecuniary difficulties, and unable to face the exposure of commercial disgrace. What he did was done deliberately and with con- summate art. Themorning bath, the desert- ed jewelry, and the anticipated breakfast, were al! parts of a skillfully-arranged plot, while a double suit of clothes, both bidden under the ulster when the bather went down to the sea, completed the materials for decep- tion. There can be nodoubt that every trick of the kind 1s attended with certain risks. No man, for instance, who was habitually ac- companied by a servant, or whose wardrobe was periodically overlooked, could wisels have attempted such an imposition. It de- pended for success on an assumed ignorance of his personal property on the partof oth- ers. If an observant attendant atthe hotel had remarked the contents of the portman- teau, or any one at home had missed a famil- jar suit, Randolph Payne must have been found out, unless, indeed, he had purchased an entirely new suit of clothes as he passed through London on his wavyto Wales. He would scareely have neglected such a precau- tion, and then, by locking the portmanteau at the hotel, the traces of his = exist- ence would have been reduced to a minimum. Atany rate he was hidden completely from the world until he was unearthed by Mr. Drysdale. That gentleman he succeedad in swearing to secrecy, and this point of the story recommendsitself strongly to the dra- matist as a fine chance forthe skillful exlibi- tion of character. What was Mr. Drysdale to do’ Tetell the truth at home would have been to expose fhe heartlessness of the adven- turer, to condemn his character, and proba- biv to ostracise him from the society in which he had formerly moved. The sudden shock of recovery might have been fatal to the old people at home, who believed their son dead and mourned him as lost. La joie fait peur! and all these circum- stances had to be egarefully weiched by the friend of the family. Arrived at home, he was probably arguing with himself and con- sidering what best to do, when he received a letter from the runaway. It was this letter, signed **Randolph Mason,’’ that solved the mystery. Instantly recognizedby the father as in the handwriting of his son, there was n»9 need for further silence on the part of Mr. Drysdale. In that scrap of paper was contain- ed the truth that restored a son to life, though it could never give back the confidence that had been so cruelly forfeited. In commenting on a recent oecasion upon the mischief that ensues from these artfully arranged and deliberately planned disappear- ances, we, a8 Was natural,dwelt on the intense seltishness and the absence of human feeling that characterize them. There may be agrim satisfaction to the perpetrator of a hoax, who, in the garb of a cattle drover in Cornwall, or attired as an adventurer in California,reads of his own death, and peruses the complication that ensucs upon bis departure. Certain dis- ordered minds may take asly and cruel de- light in baffling the police, causing a hue and cry, and watching the astonished world goingon the wrong scent, while they, en- sconce in some snug corner, laugh in their sleeves, and marvel at their own import- ance. But a diseased understanding and an excess of morbid egotismn can atone be plead- ed as an excuse for men or women who, blind to all consequences, can think unmoved of ghe tears shed and the regrets uttered over their very worthless persons. A man who could romise his mother to return on her birth- ay, and wantonly of his own free will make it a day of mourning for his assembled fami- ly, is without the pale of sympathy, and brands himself as destitute of common feel- ing. It may be very awkward for him to meet the consequences of his own indis- cretion or misfortune, but the painful humiiiatién of the prodigal cannot be so de- basing as the life-long thought of the home he has ruined and the hearts he has broken. In this case of veep: Payne, however, there are circumstances that bring in their train se- rious annoyance to the community at large. The hesitation of insurance companies in pay- ing over the value of policies in doubtful cases is likely to be materially increased now that it is known how easily commereial societies and the law officers can be tricked by thoughtless runaways. In such cases the innocent suffer . for the guilty,for already the President of the Probate Court put his foot down upon — what is called * ‘presumptive evidence,’’ and . -Insisted upon baving some security luture in instances where of the de at trouble js ' “—- “eae ~ om, >: no ii¢ net act of the drama.

The March of Improvement in ‘ ‘Sweets.’ [From the Boston Transcript. | Twenty-five years agoa littie girl who was very good and minded her mother occasional- ly had a cent to spend for candy, and Fourth of July and Christmas brought her a quarter or a half pound of confectieacry, and, with the help of occasional raids on the sugar-bowl and a bit of frosted cake now and then, she considered that her wants were all supplied; but the small girl of to-day expects pound boxes of all kinds of choice dainties at short intervals, and thinks that the person who gives ber a cent means toinsult her. It must be said in defense of the modern little cir] that the candies are a great deal nicer and more tempting than they used tobe in the days when peppermint stick,and lemon braid, cream, lobster, and rock candy were the sta- ple sweeties, and all the fair possibilities of chocolate were unknown, Even peppermints, which used to be about the size of a dime,and not strong enough to keep one awake through a whole sermon, even when one’s grandmoth- er permitted one to steal all that one wanted from ber pocket, have now developed into yreat disks that make more than one mouth- ful. and arestrong enough tokeepa Con- gressman awake through an all-night ses- sion. Children who like candies that will **last’’ buy the imperials, little colored pebbles al- most as hard adamant and fiery flavor, whether it be cinnamon or cloves. Girls with old-fashioned mothers, who think that mo- lasses is healthier than sugar, have their cheice between cuidy precisely like that which confectioners used to sell fifty years ago, ani Boston chips, and molasses cream candy, which is brittle and very light-colored. These are the candies that content little girls until they begin to go to school andto feel social cares pressing upon them, and the ne- cessity of outshining someone else down their voung spirits. Then they come home and demand cum drops, and condemn the mammon-worshipper who substitutes gelatine for gum-arabic, and tries to deceive them. They are clamorous for taffy: not only the plain squares, but the vanilla cream taffy, and Everton taffy, and the little pink square drops containing walnut meats, and the almond taffy; and = they soon manifest a nice appreciation of the compara- tive merits of peanut, almond and English walnut candies, and look with pitving sorrow upon the uncle who asks them if one kind of —_— ——___ _ —- — is | nut candy be not as good asanother. Still, af- ter acquiring all this knowledge, they realize that there are lofticr heichts for them to scile, and they envy the grown-up sister who now and then gives them dainties of which they do not know the names, and who seems, to their childish eyes, to live in arain of confections. The most delicious and most expensive of the things to be found on the confectioners’ counters are the crystalized apricots, figs, amber and ereen limes, pears and rreen vaves, and most of the persons who buy them select them almost piece by piece, making up their boxes to suit themselves.

Here 1s a diphtheria remedy extract from the Belfast ([reland) Witness. It is certainly simple enough. If it is indeed what is claimed for it, it ought to be widely circulated: Should you or any of your family be attacked with diphtheria, don’t be alarmed, as it is easily and speedily cured without a doctor. When it was raging in England afew years ago, Laccompanied Dr. Field on his rounds to witness the so-called “‘wonderful cures’’ he performed while the patients of others were dropping on both sides. The remedy is so rapid it must be simple. All he took with him was a powder of sulphur and a quill, and with these he cured every patient without excep- tion. He putateaspoonful of flour of brimstone in a wine glass of water, and stirred with his finger instead of a spoon, as the sulphur does not readily amalgamate with water. When the sulphur was well .mixed, he gave it asa gargle, andinten minutes the patient was out ofdanger. Brimstone kills every species of fungus in man, beast, and plant, in a few minutes. Instead of spitting out the gargle, he recommended the swallowing of it. In extreme cases,in which he had been called just in the nick of time, when the fun- gus was too nearly closed to allow the gar- gling, he blew the sulphur through a quill in- to the throat, and after the fungus had shrunk, to allow of it, then the gargling. He never losta patient from diphtheria. Ifa patient cannot gargle, take a live coal, put it on ashovel, and sprinkle a spoonful or two of flour of brimstone upon it, and let the sufferer inhale by holding his head over it. - >_> if. --- —-2s+-+—- — Taking Tea in Omnibuses.

THE SERPENT OF THE SEAS. goecheld in His Awful and Conventional | ; and each pair is | Proportions by the Sands of Sandy Hvok. [From the New York World. | SANDY HoOoK, November 28.—A ‘‘thuge sea monster’’ was seen gayly disporting itself in the sea just opposite life-saving station No. 1 by the crew of that station between 3 and 4 o’clock this afternoon—m anyrate the crew will swear to it. They first noticed a disturbance in the water,which they supposed was caused byaschool of large fish, but soon the head and a portion of the body of the sea serpent of commerce was seen rising above the water. They say that the serpent was moving slowly to the southward and was about 400 yards from the shore. Wath a pair of hot and strong glasses apiece the contor- tions of its body were plainly seen and the life-saving men will maintain in any court of justice that it was atleast 300 feet long. Its head (still seen through the glasses) was as large as it ought to be—that is as large as any hogshead—and was garnished with an enormous mouth. which opened more fre- quently than courtesy to the Jersey bottom seemed to warrant, and spat out large quanti- ties of sand and water. Its motions as it pro- pelled itself along on the water were similar to those of the usual eel, and its tail greatly resembled that ofaneel. Its eyes were as large as saucers and their expression, as well as it could be made out through the glasses, was fierce. Its body appeared to be round and was ofadark color. The water inthe wake of the beast was lashed into a foam by its pro- peller. The creature was seen by all the crew, and they all feel satisfied that it was the genu- ine sea-serpent come across from Borneo, where he was last seen, and bound for Phila- delphia to assist in the Grant reception. ———— The Condition of Iceland. I bave just had the pleasure of a call from Professor Fiske, of Cornell University, and Mr. Artbur Reeves, on their return from Ice- land. They report that Ieeland has really been making progress since their great festi- valin is74. They are making new roads,cul- tivating wider spaces, and their increased trade isshown 1n the fact that there are now two lines of steamers running to Scotland in- stead of one. They are making great efforts to relieve themselves of their ancient bondage to the Danish importers. The Danes have for ages supplied the Icelanders with commodities which the latter can only repay in produce, notin money: in this way nearly every family in the islandis in debt to Denmark, and they have no prospect of being able to pay in money. The island is substan- tially mortgaged. the Danes holding vouchers of this accumulated debt. But the [celandic felk now see that they could do much better if they could send their produce freely to Great Britam,.and they propose to devise means to doso. Professor Fiske thinks, th’ will.

Age cannot wither nor custom stale it, although (to continue the Shaksperean quotation) per- haps that old, common arbitrator Time will one day end it. Anyhow this year it flourish- ed unimpaired—. _, in unworted vigor—for we had no less than twenty knights in (tin) armor, mounted upon as many war (circus) horses, and the noble company of shining warriors met with no mishap, save that the back armor of one of the steeds, having become disarranged, slipped over the tail and caused the cavalier to behave in most unknightly fashion and the crowd to jeer most unsympathetically. In other respects the show was much the-same as ever. Banners, bands, sailor boys, a squad- ron of cavairy, firemen, watermen, common- place-looking masters of livery companies in seedy carriages, gorgeously embroidered foot- men, and finally the great, fantastic, gilded coach, with its six splendid horses trapped in glittering harness, their manes braided with scarlet. Thus, in semi-regal, semi-theatrical state does the one year king of the city trav- erse the streets on the 9th of November. The feature of this year’s show was, however, not so much the knights in steel or the foresters in green or the new liveries of the footmen; the great attraction was the ex-Lord Mayor, who has rendered bimself so unpopular that, as his carriage passed the crowded streets, a perfect tempest of hissing and yelling follow- ed bim. Cries of **Zulu?’? and a doll painted to resemble in complexion one of King Cety- wayo’s scantily clad warriors suggested to him the impropriety of his recent absurd crusade against the eorrupters of the morals of the rising generation, it being evidently the opinion of the crowd that the rising genera- tion could take care of its own morals. It must be admitted, however, that the ex-Lord Mayor was equal to the occasion. He had an- nounced his intention of figuring in the proces- sion,even if he were torn to pieces by the mob, and all through his{inything but triumphal pro- gress he kept smiling and bowing and waving a pretty handkerchief as though he was the hero of an ovation. In this wily manner did he disarm the malice of the crowd, and went te and from Westminster outward- ly rejoicing. In the evening he had his reward for his pluck, for when his name Was announced atthe reception which pre- ceded the banquet he received a hearty round of cheering. Altogether, as I have said, the ex-Lord Mayor was the feature of this year’s show, and it is likely to be long remembered in the annals of the city of London. The re- ally great event, however, of Lord Mayor’s Davy is not the procession, but the grand ban- quet to Her Majesty’s Ministers in the even- ing, Which is always made the occasion of a political speech from the Premier in response to the toust with which his name 1s coupled. The cable will longago have given you the text of Lord Beaconsfield’s eration, so there is no need for quotation now. The sphinx was expected say many and weighty what he_ did say was as the froth of the champagne in his glass. It was, as one of the French papers says, very eloquent Ss1- lence. At one moment he was cheerfully talking of the improvement of the chemical trade; at the next, with lowered voice and impressive manner, he dwelt on the horrors of the Cabul massacre. From the pleasantry of his badinage on Irish topics he passed toa grave enunciation of the old-time motto of ancient Rome, adopted by his own Ministry, ‘“‘The Empire and Liberty;”’ and finally, when his reference te the Athenian law against perorations raised the expeetation of his bril- liant audience to fever heat, he simply turned to the Lord Mayor and said, in effect, that his peroration should be the Lord Mayor’s very good health, and thathe had but little doubt that on that very day a vear hence he would be congratulating him upon the brilliant year of office. It was as characteristic a speech as this extraordinary man has ever uttered, and was fully as disappointing, as far as informa- tion is concerned, as he doubtless intended it to be. This great annual civic banquet is, take it altogether, the most curious and amusing sight which can be seen in this country, and a parallel to it cannot be found anywhere. It is a strange jumble of stateliness and farce, of pageantry and mummery, of witand folly, and therefore most entertaining and instruct- ive. The guests are bidden at six o’clock, and at about that time the carriages beginto roll eastward from the West End. Here and there along the route known the people gath- er merelyto see the carriages of the swells flash through the murky air of a London No- vember nicht. At theentranceof King street, which leads up to the Guildhall, and which is shut.off from Cheapside by stray barriers, there is a dense crowd,eager and swift to rec- ognize the guests, as in response to the dis- play of the ticket the gates are thrown open toadmitthem. In splendidly appoint- ed carriages, with portly coachmen and bammer cloths ims neat, unobtrusive broug- hams, in civic, State carriages, in hansom cabs and *‘four-wheelers’’ and even on the cheap **‘Shanks’ mare,’’ the fortunate held- ers of the red and white cards pour throuch the street until at last no less than nine hundred peopleare set down at the entrance of the magnificent hall and library of the Guilds of thecity of London. Almost half the street is occupied by a temporary building of wood, well lighted and prettily decorated, which forms avast vestibule. Thence, passing between double lines of volunteer soldiery, Who stand with arms ordered—ready to come to the ‘‘pre- sent’’ when any illustrious person passes along —you enter the splendid, lofty library, which is scarcely second to the great hall itself. Now, if you are desirous of having your name shouted in stentorian tones three times, if you are willing to walk up a narrow lane be- tween rows of seats of ladies and standing gentlemen, twenty deep; if you wish to skake the hand of the Right Honorable the Lord Mayor and bow to the Lady Mayoress; if you wish to find yourself inthe immediate com- pany, with very littie elbow room, of bearers of historic names and well known faces— if you want to do all this, go straight onand keep a stiff upper lip. Sut if vour innate modesty or the consciousness that, deserving as you are, fame bas not yet made your namea household word, prevents your braving the terrors of running the gauntlet, turn sharp to the right or left and get lost, as you will speedily be, in the standing crowd behind the six or eight ushers with silver-tipped wands who keep the passage clear. If you execute this simple maneuver in a bold but firm manner you shall presently see passing you in review, 80 close that you can touch them, some of the greatest people inthe land. Evenif you cannot know them by sight. you will know before they are in the room who and what thev are. Thus: Amidst the hum and buzz of the conversation there wil! break forth from the entrance to the vestibule a quick, sharp sound and a hoarse, peremptory command: it isthe guard of hohor present- ing arms;in another moment you hear the words **Lord and Lady Chelmsford’’ passed along the line of ushers, and as the hero of Zululand, in full uniform, with his wife on his arm, comes along the lane the crowd claps its white-gloved hands and the ushers batter the floor with the butt ends of their staves. Slowly and with a gratified look the pair march past. The two words ‘‘gen- tleman’’ and ‘‘irresolution’’ are written in ev line of thatface and in every movement of Mae tall, spare figure. So. with an inces- sant repetition of ‘*Lordand Lady Chelms- ford!’’ up the red lane until the final roar of tne official at the far end of the hall this “inci- dent’’ comes an end. The same ceremony takes place as other guests assage is sometimes full of them marching up in Indian file or in pairs. How the ushers manage to keep the names separate, and how the big- lunged manat the end gots thé right by the ear, isa mystery. Meantime the u behave themselves in a remarkably free and pra areas thick as hops, and do st the slightest terror into t = Am- secretaries was bold each to take up.arms against the King of Eggiand and give him battle; but there wagalso a Lord Mayor who could throw the bgGds of a King for £60,000 into a fire of - spiggavood. I remarked to an lish friend Standing near, how strange a sight it was wo rsee the representative of the Percies bow low to the representative of Messrs. James Truscott & Sons, wholesale and expert sta- tioners. ‘*Ah yes,” he said, “‘it is strange ; it is England.? But before I have . ceased pondering and philosophizing upon this mat- ter something new oecurs. Suddenly a loud flourish of trumpets is heard outside, then the clang of the *‘present arms.’’ Who isit? Before the words, **The Lord High Chaneal- lor’? ean be twice — a quaint proces- sion sweeps past. First, rneerect in a pearl-covered scabbard comes the sword of state (1 omit all mention of the personage who carries it as being quite unnecessary; one sees the sword only), then comes the great seal of England in a crimson velvet bag, heavy with gold and silver embroidery; then the grand and massive figure of Hugh MacCalmont Cairns, Baron Cairns, in his robes of State. Thereis no finer head in all the company than this. Thetrain of the Lerd Chancellor’s robeis held up by a fol- lower in full court dress who holds on ginger- ly but elegantly to a funny littie tag of black ribbon attached to the end of the train. There is more of sublimitv than of ridicule in this procession, but in the next one the comic ele- mentissupreme. ‘*The Right Honorable Lord Justice Brett and My Lords the Queen’s Judges,’’ is the announcement, and here they come in enormous white wigs and red dressing gowns. Slowly,in singie file, the majesty of the law marches up the lane. The back view of the majesty of the law would make even a man condemned to penal servitude for life cheat the law by dying out- right of laughter. Slippety slop, shitffle and shamble, the four or five ‘‘old womey,’’ as some of the spectators unbesitatingly callthem, waddle up to the dais. One of My Lords the Queen’s Judges took so little interest in the fit of his robes, that the broad black band which should have girded his waist was tight- ly stretched around bim some finches lower. Every one had a good titter, but the blast of the trumpets put anendto the comedy, and another actor appeared on the scene. The Premier at last! A tremendous burst of ap- plause—long prolonged—greets that tall, gaunt figure, topped with that hideous but fascinating head, as it advances with infirm gait up the hall. The Ear! leans on the arm of his faithful sec- retary, Mr. Montague Corry, and as soon as the ceremony of presentation is over there is a general move tothe banqueting hall. No one Wants to see any more guests after this one has come. Considering that there are 900 covers laid the guests tind their places in amarvelously short space of time, chiefly owing to plans of the tables, which can be consulted atthe doors. Presently the pro- cession of chief guests enters the ball preced- ed by trumpeters. Lord Beaconsfield leads the Lady Mayoress, whose train is supported by two maids of honor and a page in acrim- son velvet dress of the time of Queen Eliza- beth. The whole scene is a most extraordi- nary blending of the antique and the modern. The Aldermen’s ancient dresses, the bright scarlet of the British army, the trumpeters in their sportsman dresses,the Judges in their wigs, the city carver high up ina pulpit with a vast baron of beef before him, the crash of the band, and above all the glorious open timber roof of the ancient hall make up a scene as brilliant, festive, and quaint as the world ever can show nowadays. Asa din- ner, exceptat the high table where it is served hot, the entertainment is weak. My own personal experience of the successive courses as supplied atthe table where I sat wes as follows: Seltzer water, chicken. cold beef, champage, ice pudding, fried smelts, pineapple, more beef. Nothing but the wish to hear what the great man Lad to say can in- duce a spirit of forgiveness for these cousecu- tive insults, and when once the sphinx begins to talk you forget well as forgive. You might hear a pin drop after the trumpets Which annbunce the toast to Her Majesty’s Ministers have ceased to sound, Thenhe rises, that strange old man upon whose shoulders so much of the world’s bistory rests, and with calm manner and measured words, withouta single moment of hesitation for word or thought tells us—nothing! — - >_> us A MIGHTY HUNTER, Some of the Exploits ot Samuel Daugh- erty, of Pennsylvania. [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Times. | In the Times of November 17 appeared an article of a special correspondent from Hones- dale, Pa... giving an account of an old hunter who figures in Potter county during the hunting season, by the name of Phin. Teeple. Yourcorrespondent alleges that his hero has killed during his eventful life 3,000 deer and over 400bears. Now, we do not desire to pluck a singie laurel from your he- ro’s brow, nor intimate for one moment that his story is mythological; on tbe other hand we believe every word of it, and even the hair-breadth escapes recorded of him. Any one living 1» the region of country de- scribed, orin the adjacent counties, would drink down such stories witn as much avidity as he would sweet milk with ice on a_ hot sum- mer day. They are not of unusual occurrence. Among the early settlers of the Kettle Creek and Youngwoman’s Creek region of country you could scarcely find one who had not killed his hundreds, if not thousands, of deer and bears; besides they could relate hair-breadth escapes from the clutches of bears and the stij more terrible and fierce attacks of pan- thers until the blood would almost congeal in your veins and the hair would actually creep up and stand on end. We have one old hunter still living whose age is about eighty, and whom your late townsman, Hon. James Ross Snowden. if he were living, would weil remember for his many eccentricities once upon atime when visiting and examining certain lands on the waters of Youngwoman’s Creek. Our hero’s name is Ssemuel Daugherty, whose parents settled at a very early day onthe waters of Youngwoman’s Creek. It was here that Samuel was born and where he lived until many years atter the death of his parents. During the last twenty years he has livedon the waters of Kettle Creek. His appearance at any time would strike ai stranger with wonder and surprise He is tall and portly in appear- ance, and scarcely ever seen unless fully ac- coutred with his trusty rifle, shot-pouch, powder-horn and knife in his belt; and almost always a haversack may be seen .on his back, in which he carries a lunchof jerked venison and a roll ofcorn bread. His coat and panta- loons are mostly made of deer skins,the form- ‘er tanned with the hair on. Although atbletic and formidable in appearance, he is as gentle asa woman. I never saw man more tender- hearted. Instature heis about six feet, in form erect and broad-shouldered. The angle of vision and facial line are at right angles, his forehead is broad and eyebrow heavy. His countenance indicates that he has had the smali-pox in early life. Had he been cultivated when a boy, and had he enjoyed the advantages of books and the opportunities of learning that ore-half our young mendo now, he would have been the equal of Thomas Carlyle or Ehhu Burritt. The only book that he has ever read is the Bible, of which he has a very fair knowledge. It would be worth while for a correspondent of the Times to visit him at his rude but tidy home on Kettle Creek, Clin- ton county, Pa., and have him detail tce ad- ventures of his long and eventful life. We have no doubt but that his record of deer, bears, panthers, wolves, catamounts, wild cats and elk, to say nothing of rattle- snakes, would equal it not surpass the hero of your Honesdale correspondent. Mr.Daugch- erty is very communicative and hospitable. No one has ever been turned away from his door. Whatever his larder afforded the stran- ger is weleome to. Even at his advanced ag he takes his usual fall hunt, and never wi out success. Your correspondent has frequently to get his photograph with accoutrements, but has never been for, enough to succeed.

TELEGRAPH Be [W. A. Linn, in Bt. Niche The telegraph is now made tod many services in the large cities. ar merely sending messages from one } another, instruments are placed in houses, aud the occupants, by merely | 77 an alarm in case of fire, or call a messenger do any service that may be required. Th principal company in New York which come. company’s employ have many duties to per- form which are not required of the Western Union boys, and they therefore have a great vided with work. When the hirer ofa Dise trict instrument calls for a messenger, thé for. He may be told to hurry for a physician, bill to collect, or he may be sent by a broker to deliver stock or to have a check certified— namethemall. Whenitis remembered that about 4,500 District instruments are nov ip use in New York, and that 1,513,265 messages were delivered bythe District boysin the vear ended September 30, LS77, some motion of the manifold services required of them can be formed. It iseasy tosee that an inexperieneed and unskillful messenger in such an jemplé@&ment would only prove bimselfa nuisance to the publicand an ipjury tothe company. Every boy, therefore, who is employed by the Amer« ican «District Telegraph Company is put Into a training-school, and this school is a very interesting one. The school-room is provided with wooden benches, like those found in old-fashioned country district schools, put the instruction given is entirely fn regared to the business of the company.{Every candidate for a place must know how to read and write before he can be put into the school. It is of course necessary for the boys to know the situation of every street in the city. large map of the city is therefore placed before them, with the streets marked on it, but without their names. The teacher points out different streets to his pupils, and they are required to name them. Inthis way a messenger-bo soon acquires amore complete knowledge o the city’s thoroughfares than many an old resident can boastof. Inone part of the room are telegraph instruments such as the company uses, and the boys are taught how tosend and receive messages onthem. Then there isa miniituré bank, where they.are taught about the use of checks, and there is a make-believe broker’s office, where they are tuught how to deliver stock, ete. Much ate tention is given tothe instruction in the bank and inthe broker’s oflice, as bankers and brokers use the messenger boys constantly. There is, beside all this, a great deal for the boys to learn about the company’s methods of business, which | need not explain in de- tail. They must make themselves familiar with the *‘tariff-book,’’ which tells them how much a boy must charge for going from any one place in the city to any other. They must learn the use of the different kinds of tickets, on Which the temporary record of their ser- vice is kext. They must know when to charge fora car or stage fare and when it is prope for them to walk. The American District Telegraph Company employs, on an average, 550 boys, who are distributed throughout tbe city among twen- ty-three oflices. Each oflice has from five cighty boys in attendance, according to its lo cation, and every boy is expected to serve te hours aday. Insome of the offices, constan employment cannot be found for all the boy during this time, and one form of promotion is to send a boy to an ‘ ‘easy district.’’ When a boy arrives at bis oftice in the morn- ing he goes to the sergeant, who notes if he is on time ornot. Then he puts on his uniform and reports to the manager, who ascertains whether or not his hands are cleanand his hair neatly brushed. If he passes this ®xam- ination successfully he takes a seat for duty. The boys respond to calls in the ordero their numbers early inthe morning; afterwar¢ they take their turns. A faithful boy in the employ of this compa nv is never discharged mer: ly because busiues is dull, the resignations of boys who tire o their duties or leave for other causes, and the dismissal of boys who are unsatisfactory, ra- pidly deci easirg the force when additions are not made. It has required no little skill so to arrange the service that inefficient messengers may be detected among so many; but this has been accomplished by an admirable system of records, and discipline is enforced by means of tines and extra hours, which soon lessen the wages, or prolong the period of daily service, of those boys who prove remiss. . ® : 4 > # . 4 a e: iy ee Dl o i Sok oh trols such atelegraph system istheAmerican — District Telegraph Company.

Courts, But One Which Will Not Much Affect St. Louis—What the Local Brewers Say. The morning papers contained a dispatch from Milwaukee announcing the decision of Judge Dyer, of the United States Court, in the case of Matthew Gottfried against the Philip Best Brewing Company, for infringement ot Hu patent for pitching the inner suriace of beer kegs and barrels. The decision rendered was in favor of the complainant, and is of great importance to brewers having the patentin use, asit m: them liable fora royalty for the operation of the process. It is intimated that the case will appealed to the Supreme Court. The sum claimed by plaintiff tor the infringement of the patent and the royal- ty for future use have not yet been deter- mined. To ascertain the ike =) be effect which this decision would have upen the brewing interests of this city, & Post-DISPATCH reporter visited a number of prominent brewers, with tne fol- lowing result: CHRIS. WINKELMEYER, ofthe firmot J. W inkelmeyer & Co., 1714 Market strect, wasfound in the office of that establishment. He informed the reporter that the pate nt was not in operation in his brew- ery, and doubtedif any were in use in St. Louis, He thought that it was a verv modern contrivance, ashe had not heard of it and knew absolutely nothing about it. The process tor pitching the inner surfaces of kegs in his brewery was patented by Wm. An heuser, son of the proprietor of the Anheuser establishment. The principle involved was su- perheated steam, whieh took the place of the old process ot he ating ared hotiron to cleanse the barrel and prepare it for the reception of becr. This pitching the inner surface was ne cessary to keep the beer pure and fresh. OTHER BREWERS, The reporter also visited the establishment of Anthony & khubn, the kxcelsior Brewing Com- apy, Joseph Uhrig Brewing Company and Vm. Lemp. The intormation received wasof the same cheracter as obtained at the Winkelmeyer brewery. The patent, if used atallin St. Louis, isonly ona small ecale, and the judicial deci- sion on the patent process will have very littie eflect upon the fraternity in this city.
