Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, January 22.—The report that ne- gotians are in progress between the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Company and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, for the leasing of the latter by the Pennsylvania Company, 18 looked upon With suspicion in railroad cir- cles here. It is believed these negotiations rather look towards a traflic arrangement be- tween these organizations than a lease, as Col. Scott is known to be opposed to further extension of his system of roads. It is gen- erally believed here that the Gould syndicate has a finger in the pie of the Louisville and Nashville. The syndicate, however, seeming to be unwilling to have itself identitied with the iate Southern annexations for fear of arousing too much _ pub- lic apprehension and opposition, allows the Pennsylvania Company to take care of that portion of their interests. That the Pennsylvania roads are identified with the syndicate is proved by an arrangement with Col. Scott for the extension of the Texas and Pacific, and their friendly relations with the Gould and Vanderbilt systems. These state- ments are confirmed by a New York dispatch which says that modified negotiations are in progress loeking toward the joint control of the Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington line, between Cincinnati and Louisville, which would give the Pennsylvania Company a direct connection with the lines of the Louisville and Nashville Company and thus accomplish the proposed combination of interests in another Way. A Louisville dispatch says: The manage- ment of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad has made arrangements for a direct steam- ship line between Havana and one of its Guif ports. Which one it will be has not yet been decided; put it will be either Mobile or Pen- sacola. Railway Investigation. ALBANY, N. Y., January 22.—The report of the select committee appointed by the last House te investigate the managing of rail- ways is accompanied by six bills to effect the committee’s recommendations. The com- mittee say that while they aim _ to deal fairly with the railroad question they find the main charges of discrimination fully sustained, as also with reference to the proxy system. Stock-watering is found a prolific source of abuse in railroad man- avement, and it is severely criticised, and remedies are proposed. A commission 18 provided for, consisting of three persons, clothed with suitable powers,corresponding in the main with the Massachusetts commission, Drowned at Sea. Boston, January 22.—The steamer Baya- rian, from Liverpool, reports running down, off Queenstown, Ireland, an English schooner. Her captain and two men were drowned. -- - ee Bank of ened.

WASHINGTON, D. C., January 22.—De- bate on the Bayard resolution is now pro- gressingin the Senate. When the Senate adjourns to-day it willbeto m@et on Monday, and the chance fora month’s debate on Mr. Bayard’a resolution may be expected. CONKLING AND HIS STATE. senator Conkling stated to-day that there would be no change in the method of selecting Presidential electors in his State. The press of New York City appears to be creating all the excitement in the matter, and beyond this agitation the subject is but little spoken of, es- especially at Albany. An attempt was made to interview Mr. Conkling relative te his can- didacy for the Presidency, but he slyly evaded every question, pompously and semi-sarcas- tically stating that he believed the National Convention would settle that matter. THE UTE SITUATION. Members of the Cabinet are greatly exer- cised over a telegram received vesterday from Los Pinos stating that the Utes were pur- chasing arms and ammunition in large quan- tities, and that Chief Douglass was urging them to defend their rights in case an attempt was made to remove them fiom their reserva- tion. The telegram was read to Ouray, who appeared indifferent when,he understood the contents, and Only made reply by shrugging his shoulders. Secretary Schurz 1s endeavor- ing to create the impression that this Indian affair ‘will come out all right, but there is lit- tle contidence given to encourage him ia his policy. THE SUPREME COURT. Argument in the St. Louis County ease against the Missoum Pacific Railroad was concluded to-day by Bowman. It was agreed before the court that if the lienis sustained, judgment will be rendered in favor of the city of St. Louis instead of the old county. The decision will be made in March. The Cowdry case will come up to-morrow or Monday. BUCKNER’S BILL, requiring haif of the National Bank reserve to be in coin, has just been defeated in the House. by a vote of 29 ayes to 159 nays. THE OKLAHOMA BILL will be reported back adversely next week by the House sub-committee. Mr. Frost will submita minority report favoring it. Itis safe to say the bill will not pass either House. ; DOCTOR M’LANE, oi St. Louis, is here with others in behalf of tule repeal ofthe revenue taxon medicines. The Ways end Means Committee decided not to give any special matters a hearing until the funding bill and sugar and stéel rail ques- tions are disposed of. Hence Dr. McLane can- not get a hearing. FRIENDLY TO SALOMON. Numerous letters from prominent St. Louis Democrats and Republicans have been re- ceived here fing Salomon’s confirmation, and the Missouri delegation now all favor it. He will be contirmed. CONTRADICTED. Senator Wallace, chairman of the Senate In- vestigating Committee, saysthe statement at- tributed to Maine Fusionists that the commit- tee wi!l investigate the Maine muddleis with- out authority. Wallace says’ there is a movement in Maine to get the question be- fore Congress, but Congress won’t touch it because it isa State matter. Congress has no right or power to interfere. CROOKED CONSULS. The House Committee on Expenditures in the State Department mean to investigate thoroughly all charges against Seward and the Chinese Consul, and there will be music soon. Consul Mosby is coming with a great deal of documentary evidence syowing the dishonesty of Seward and the Consuls, and that the State Department knew of it. Mosby writes he is determined §to ex- pose the ring no matter who may be involved. National Notes. WASHINGTON, January 22.—The Indian appropriation bill as agreed upon by the sub- committee appropriated $4,692,000, $300,000. less that the estimates of the department and $20,000 less than last year. TARIFF ON RAILS. The Ways and Means Committee will give a hearing February 4 onthe question of the reduction of tariff on steel rails. THE UTE INVESTIGATION. The House Committee on Indian Affairs to- day continued the investigation of the causes of the recent Ute outbreak. Commissioner of Indian Affairs Hayt concluded his state- ment, which embodied a general defense of his administration. Lieut. Cherry, of the Fifth Cavalry, Adju- tant of Major Thornburg’s command, gave an interesting history of the military move- ments, but expressed no opinions as to any of the remote causes of the outbreak. FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. Senate. WASHINGTON, January 22.—Mr. Teller of- fered a resolution calling on “the Secretary of the Interior to inform the Senate whether any member of the Board of Indian Commis- sioners had become interested in Indian con- tracts. Advupted. On motion of Senator Cameron of Peaonsyl- vania, it was resolved, yeas 31, nays 21, that when the Senate adjourn to- day it would be to meet Monday. Senator Bayard’s resolution was taken up and Senator Coke made a speech thereon. Senator Morgan offered a resolution, which was adopted, directing the Secretary of the Interior to furnish the Senate any information in the Interior Departmentin answer to the following inquiries: ‘W bat grants of public lands made by an act of Congress to railroad companies or to States or territories In and ofsuch companies re- main incomplete by reason of the failure of ~ “avi. +A! Titec Re i wat alt! $0 the grantees or beneficiaries to comply with the terms of such grants? In such cases, if any, wherethere has been partial compliance with the terms or condi- tions of the grant, to what extent has there been such compliance, and to what extent is there just cause for declaring the forfeiture of the grant, and what reasons of justice, equity or public faith or public policy ate there, why Congress should abstain from declaring such grants forfeitad in the whole or in part? Ip cases where States or companies to which land grants bave been made for the benefit of railroads and where just causes of forfeiture exist and where bona fide conveyances have been made to purchasers for their value, what proportion,as near as may be of Jands so granted, bas been sold to such purchasers, and what further legislation, if any, is necessary to secure to such persons their full equitable rights to such lands? Adopted. House. WASHINGTON, D, C. January 22.— After some miscellaneous business consid- eration was resumed. of the bank reserve bill and a demand for the previous question was seconded, 100 to 48. ‘The main question was then ordered and an hour’s debate begun. At the close of the discussion an amend- ment (only one to be voted upon) requiring banks to keep their coin reserves in their own yYaults was rejected, 33 to 79. ‘}be question then recurred on engrossing end the third reading of,the bill. On a di-« vision the vote stood 33 to 140 and the yeas and nays were ordered. This vote re- sulted: Yeas, 79; nays, 158, and the bill was killed. ‘The House then went into committee on revision of the rules. MAINE. The Fusionists Denied a Place of Meet- ing at Portland—Legislative Proceed- ipgs. BOSTON, January 22.—The Herald’s Au- gusta special says: The State-house is cuard- ed and a local militia company remains in the Armory. The Fusionist Legislature ,met this morning in the House. Cushman called for areport by the Com- mittee on Elections. If he was holding a seatto | which he was not entitled he wished to know it and go home. The various standing committees were an- | nounced. It was also announced that Gov. Smith had received a congratulatory address from the Central Club of Greenbackers, of Titusville, Pa. _ The Committee on Elections hears contested cases to-day. The Committee on Business, before reporting, will first advise with the leaders. A resolution was referred tothe committee authorizing aconference withthe Portland authorities toseeifa building can be had there for legislative and executive depart- ments. In the Republican Senate an amendment §to the Constitution was presented to elect the Governor by a plurality vote. : The Fusionist Representative Staples has taken his seat in the Republican House. The Fusionists have a telegram inviting them to take up their quarters in Biddeford. the Herald Augusta special savs: Re- publican legislators are talking seriously of taking measures to arrest the whole batch of Fusionist officials on the charge of treason. In a Political Pickle. AUGUSTA, January 22.—In the Fusion Sen- ate Atwell opposed the order to proceed to business, saying: ‘*Let us go into the State- house Legislature or go home.’’. Another member favered a compromise. e fagred the present policy would lead to bioodshed. Gov. Smith told a reporter that under present circumstances he should not deem it adrisa- ble, but if we had possession of the State- house the Republicans would not get in without bloodshed. — No Room on ‘Pesbenien. PORTLAND, January 22.—Mayor Walker received a telegram from F. W. Hill, of the Fusion Legislature, asking if accommodations for that Legislature could be had here. The Mayor, a Democrat, consulted the Council and replied that there were no suitable accommo- dations in Portland. —— - —— Deliberotine. Distillers. CINCINNATI, January 22,—The Distillers’ Association this morning adjourned after re- ceiving and adopting the reportof the Com- mittee on Constitution and By-laws and re- electing the old officers. It was resolved to call# the attention of Congress to the great pumber of vinegar factories which have sprung up undér the act author- tzing vinegar factories to vaporize. Mr. Bon- fort of New York said they were probably making whisky under the guise of Vinegar. He was receiving orders from a large number of vinegar factories for stills, and in New York alone enough vinegar | was made to supplythe whole country. It wa; the opinion of some members that the vinegar manufacturers required closer watch- ing than moonshiners. The Committee on Legislation was directed to ask for legislation to put this business under proper surveillance. The chief point of interest was the fight made by Kentucky distillers. In the progress of the meeting one member said that the whisky interestin the United States had strength and money to override the Internal Reve- nue Department. President Miller promptly said it was not the purpose of the association to antagonize the Revenue De- partment, but only to try and remove the annoying and wunneccessary restrictions placed on the whisky interest. An additional vice-president was ordered and Mr. Fairbanks, of Térre Haute, Ind., was chosen. An Exposition in 1880. CINCINNATI, January 22.—The Board of Exposition Commissioners, afterafull dis- cussion, have decided, by a nearly unanimous vote, tohold an exposition in 1880, from Wednesday, September 8, to Saturday, Octo- ber 9.

[From the Boston Bulletin. ] Up to the beginning of the present season a time-bonored dinginess had prevailed in the theater, out of respect to the old established and thetraditional. But since M. Emile Per- rin has been appointed director, the fresh and searching breeze ofan original and undertak- a mind has swept among the musty leaves of tradition and usage,and has made away with much that had simply its age to recom- a 9 it, while sparing that which was of real vaiue, One ofthese innovations was a complete redecorating and brightening up of the whole theater, and it was this which caused the now famous Visit of the company to London, a vis- it which has probably done more thanany- thing else to make the name of Got, Delaunay, Croizette and Sara Bernhardt known in the English-speaking werld. As a result of this redecorating, the public fover is bright and cheerful, as aroom should be in which the sometimes very long waits between acts must be whiled away. THE FOYER contains, among other works, a fine bust of Corneille by Caffieri, a statue of Voltaire ina sitting posture and bustef Moliere by Hou- don, the celebrated sculptor, who made a statue of Washington. There is also a statue of George Sand by her son-in-law, Clesinger; itisasitting statue, like that of Voltaire, to which it forins a companion piece. Statues everywhere—i1n the vestibule, in the waiting rooms, along the staircases; in fact, the Thea- tre Francais is so rich in works of artas to have hurdly room to place them all properly. THE AUDITORIUM of the Comedie Francaise is_ less retharkable for its size than its perfect adaptation to its purposes; tasteful, though not overloaded with ornament, its fourteen hundred seats are so disposed as to afford each spectator a per- fect view and hearing of what is presented on the stage. ‘Ihe general tone of the ornamen- — isa blending of red, white and dead old. 7 Notable 1s the new ceiling by M. Mazerolle. This painting, containing 110 figures, the greater part of which aretwo metres high, anid covering a space .of 360 square metres, was designed and painted by the artist in the iperedibly short time of three montbs and six ys. ‘This charming composition represents the pel figures of the ciassical French drama and comedy in different groups, while below atthe right, their authors, Moliere, Woltaire, Beamarchais and others observe this brilliant gathering of thew creations. Iligher up are seen forms from the trage- dies of Corneille and Racine grouped on white clouds. They are bathed in a_ sort of vapor and seem like shadows evoked from the dark-flowing Styx. At the summit of the composition appears Apollo, the god of mu- sic and poetry, leading the dance of the Muses in the blue cther. THE STAGE is very complete in allits appointments; the scenery is very beautiful and appropriate; this no doubtisin great measure due tothe taste and discrimination of M. Verrin, the di- rector, Who commenced lifeas a painter. The mise en scene atthe Theatre Francais has al- ways been distinguished by acertain careful magnificence, as far removed from the wanton lavishing of willinery and upholstery of the theaters, a /@ mode, as it is from the poverty- stricken fittings of provincial scenes. At one side of the stage is a comfortable little room for the use of the actors not on duty ata _ per- formance. From the staecea passageway leadsto the foyer des artistes; this passageway is adorned by busts of celebrities of the drama, and has therefore taken the soubrig@et of Galerie des Busies. ‘Vo the left of this passageway is a room for the uséof actors who wishto make hastv changes during a performance, without going to their dressing-rooms, These dress- ing-rooms are in an upper story of the build- ing, comfortabiv furnished. and look out on the Place du Palais Royal. THE FOYER DES ARTISTES is a room moderate in size, but perhaps asin- teresting as any part of the building, for it has a history o®8its own. It is adorned with paint- ings of the best actors of the company since Moliere’s time. Conspicuous among these is a portrait of Moliere, by Mignard, represent- ing himinthe roie of Cvwsar, in which the , great satirist appears as quite a handsome man, With thoughtful eyes illuminating an in- telligent countenance. Of the gayety with which bis works overtiow, nota trace. There is also a painting by Ingres represent- ing Moliere ata famous breakfast to which Louis XLV. was said to have invited him, but Which, as has since been demonstrated, never took place. Two paintings representing the entire company, by Geffroi, a former member of the theater, ana busts of Moliere, Mlle. Dumesnil, Mile. Clairon and five other celeb- rities of the theater are worthy of notice. Among the portraits are those of Talma, the friend of Napoleon I., so famous for his sculptural attitudes, the beautiful Mile. Mars, a contemporary of his, Miles. Dugazon, Preville.

HABITUES OF THE FOYER DES ARTISTES. The foyer des artistes is every evening the rendezvous of men of Setters, of celebrated artists. of academicians and society people. It isa sa/on inthe French meaning of the word, and a room where the art of conversation,the art of saying evanescent nothings in an agree- able manner, is practiced. The best elements of the world behind the scenes here mingle with the social and intellectual e/ite of Paris, and sallies of wit, flashes of repartee, a gen- erall atmosphere of retinemgnt, good breed- ing, and joyousnvess speed the flying moments most pleasantly. The visitor who is lucky enough to gain an entrance there may meet Emile Angier, the dramatist, Francisque ‘Sarcey, the eminent critic, or the pgetical Paul deSt. Victor eluci- dating some point of art or literature with the rraceful Sara Bernhardt, the passionate ‘roizette or the versatile Delaunay. THE LIBRARY of the Theatre Francais is situated in the up- per story of the building, and contains all the works which have been performed in this theater during the two centuries of its exis- tence. Amongthese ure all the productions of Molicre and many by Racine, Corneille, Voltaire, Marivaux, Diderot, Beaumarchais, Casimir Delavigne, Alfred de Musset, Victor ugo, Emile Angier and many other shining lights of French literature. Hiecre are kept also the registers, which are a faithful record of the doings at the theater, diay by day, from the temporary Illness of a performer to the reception of @ new tragedy, Only one of these registers is missing. that of the year 1740, which was lost in the revolu- tionary time of 1793, when all these records were scattered by vandal bands, and remained mthe most utter confusion until M. Leon Gaillord was appointed archivist of the thea- ter, and carefully collected and rearranged them. ORGANIZATION, The company of the Theatre Francais is di- vided into two groups, life members and tem- porary members, all under the management ofa director appointed by the State, which Claims the right by virtue of the subsidy which it pays the theater. The life members form asort of stock company, who divide umong themselyes a certain proportion of the receipts, and are therefore called soctetaires; the temporary members are engaged on & salary, and are called pensionnaires. A persionnaire can attain the position of societaire, whichis the highest ambition of French comedians, only after a longer or shorter period of probation. A committee, chosen from among life-members, and acting in concert with the director, has alone the right of appointing a new societaire. No new sovietaire can be appointed, except when one or more vacancies are caused by death or re- tirement, forthe number of life-members in — service at one time is limited to twenty- ree. Every societaire after twenty years of service has a yearly pension of two thousand francs ($400) from the Government and an equal sum from the theater uatilhis or her death ;for every year of service over twenty one hundred francs are added to the pension. Each new work offered is submitted toa committee of six societaires, who have the right to admit the whole company to the reading, if they choose; a vote is then taken, which determines the reception or rejection of the piece. VIRGINIAN VENGEANCE. Lynching a Negro for a Social Indis- cretion. (Warrenton (Va.) Special to N. Y. Herald. | This usually quiet little town was the scene last night vf the lynching ofa negro under ex- traordinary circumstances. On the 27th of December last Arthur Jordan, a copper-col- ored negro of about forty years of age, who had been employed asa farm hand on the plantation ofNathanCorder,a well-to-do fuarm- er living on the Rappahannock River,in the upper end of this county, eloped with Elvira Corder, twenty-four years old, daughter of the man who had employed him, The negro took the cars at Markham station and was met by the woman on the train at Salem, fifteen miles further down. The injured father of the girl followed the cuilty pairto Washing- ton, @nd after a fruitless search through that city and Alexandria returned broken- hearted to his home. On Sat- urday last a letter was received by the postmaster at Markham from a gentieman living near Williamsport, Md., saying that there was a negro with his white wife living near him, claiming to be from Markham an acting in such a manner as to excite his sus pi- cions that all was notright From the descrip- tion given the couple were readily recognized as Corder’s daughter and Arthur Jordan, and a party of six of the best men in the neighbor- hood armed and started immediately to Wil- liamsport to capture the latter and bring him back to this county. They were successful in finding bim about eight miles above Williams- port, and arrived with him at Markham on Thursday night last. On Friday Justice Lake gave the preacher apreliminarv hearing, and, committing him for the action of the grand jury, gave him in charge of a constable and two deputies to carry him to jail at Warren- ton, some twenty miles distant, where he ar- rived the same night and was locked up. On Sunday night a band of sixty determined menrode up to the duvor of the jail, and, call- ing out the jailor, presented a man _ they brougbt with them tied tobe taken in charge. When the jailor came up to receive his prisoner a half-dozon pistols were presented to his head and the keys demanded. He surrenid- ered the keys after some remonstrance, anda detail from the infuriated crowd outside went in, and, placing a rope around Arthur Jor- dan’s neck, dragged him forth and hanged him to a tree some three hundred vards from the door of the jail. The crowd then depart- ed from town as mnoiselesslvy as they came, leaving the lifeless body of the negro dangling fromthetree. His body was cut down about 10 o’clock this morning by order ofthe au- thorities and turned over to the Coroner. The remarkable part of this lynching was the en- tire absence of excitement, the mob proceed- ing as ifintbe execution of a solemn duty In thus avenging the violation of one of the most sacred unwritten laws of society. Arthur Jordan was a hardworking but rather impu- dent negro, and leaves a colored wife and a large family of children living near Nathan Corder’s house. There 1s evidence that he used even the formality of a marriage cere- mony to accomplish the ruin of his victim, who knew very well that he wus already mar- ried, and rumor says had been criminally in- timate with him for some months before the elopement. - — A Winter Night in Paris. [Cor. of the Boston Advertiser. |] Nothing can be imagined more impressive than the a@pect of Paris at night—its monu- mers and houses covered with winding sheets and its streets so charged with snow that even in the middle of the road everything is white, while tothe right and to the left graveyard- looking mounds attest the efforts of thousands of laborers to open the passages and establish circulation. Most of the tramways have been stopped; the few omnibuses which still traverse Paris are drawn by four and six horses, and the indication of route allowed to remain on the top has nothing whatever to do with the rea] destination. Suffering as we do from cold, we have com- mon sense enoughto hope it will continue long enough for the municipal service to free us from the mountains of snow which encum- ber all our highwavs and byways, for therein is hidden the seed of disease in the form of every offal possibléto imagine, and if it allowed to thaw, rot and infect the atmos- phere, thereis reason to fear a terrible epi- demicin Paris. As it is, 7,000 poor souls, who have applied for places in our hospitals, have been refused. What is to become of them? Alas! Charity, even on the most royal scale, can scarcely battle against misery such as surrounds us! We have known for many months that the necessitous poor in Paris have attained a number never-before imagined, but this sudden. unprecedented cold was neces- sary to call forth ail the sentiment of hesitat- ing charity in Freach hearts.

Hayden is prac- tically acquitted. The jury is discharged on disagreement. but eleven were for acquittal to one for conviction. While the main body of the assemblage left two seore of Hayden’s friends remained and extended their heartiest co tulations to him and his wife. He was cheerful, chatty and grasped every one warm- ly by the hand. In his bloodshot eyes and the drawn lines of his face were the marks of the mental agony of the past three days. As the bells tolled ten o’clock he passed from the eourt-room down to the Sheriff’s office through a double line of spectators fringing the balustrades oftheiron staircase. They grasped his hand again and again, and the enthusiasm finally found ventin loud cheer- ing. It wastaken up and re-echoed by the throng on the pavement ontside. After being safely placed in the Sheriff’s office the Sheriff admitted the spectaters, who passed through in line and congratulated the clergyman on bis escape. Conversing with the Herald representative in the court-room, Mr. Hayden said: ‘‘I have always felt confident that I would be acquitted. 1 did not see how avy other verdict could be rendered, for the jury could hardly fail to be convinced of the doubtful character of the evidence brought against me. I wish to say this, sir, that whoever may be guilty of the murder of Mary Stannard is guilty of murder inthe first degree, for it was an awful crime.’’ ‘*What do you think of the result?” ‘‘It isa great disappointment tome. The vote stood eleven for acquittal to one for con- viction, and @at man was Juror Hotchkiss, of Prospect. I have been almost certain from the first that he wasagaiost me. This verdict is virtually an acquittal, and if I am ever tried again I shall not have the slightest apprehen- sions of the result. But I do not think there wil] ever be another trial.’’ At this moment Mr. Hayden’s attention was called by his rel- atives and he stepped away. Mr. Watrous, senior counsel for the de- fense. was questioned as to the future, ‘*Mr. flayden being still under indictment,’’ he said, *‘will pe remanded te jail; that’s the great injusticeto him. Inashort time we shall makea motion for bail, and hope te have the amount small. Then we shall be better prepared for the next trial.’’ ‘*But do you think it will ever take place ?’’ ‘‘No, sir. I think the prosecution appre- ciates the weakness of their case. This eleven to one settles it, anél do not vdelieve a jury could ever be found in New Haven county that would convict my client.’’ One of the jurors suid:—‘*‘We have hada terrible struggle. One man—Juror Hotch- kiss—bas made all the trouble forus. With that exception we have been for acquittal from the first. He has been obstinate—terribly ob- stinate. We could do nothing with bim. That Jast question about the degree of the murder was put merely to soothe him, but to no pur- pose.’’ **He said a curiqys thingin the jury-room the very first day. ,He expressed the belief that Mrs. Hayden fad falsified her testimony, and also another thing by which he won from some of us the soubriquet of the ‘Fifty Dol- lar Man.’ ’’ **W bat was it?’’ ‘*Well, I don’t like to give such a private matter, but it was that he received $50 ona certain occasion for doing something which all of us thought was not an honorable thing. This afternoon We pitched into him savagely about this, and he was territied when we inti- mated that in return for all the trouble he had been making us we should not make any, se- cret of his strange admission. ’”’ Anotber juror interviewed to-night Seid: ‘*We belheved Havden innocent. ‘There was no mere question with us that the evidence was insufticient, We conscientiously believed that be did not do the deed.’’ ‘**Who was held to be the guilty party?” ‘*That we were not prepared to say, but we thought that old Ben Stevens, Charies Stan- nard (the girl’s father) and Susan Hawley knew more about the crime than has ever come out.’’ One juror said, very emphatically, that ‘he believed that rf the State had pushed _ its in- vestigation in that direction as sharply as against Hayden they might have had a case. Another juror told the story of the vote: **We firsttook twelve informal ballots. Six were taken on Friday. From the time we took the case at noon up to midnight, some of us thought it only fair, even while beleving Hayden innocent, to vote for conviction, so as to secure a thorough discussion. Four of us voted for conviction, and three of us so voted for that reason.’’ **Do you remember their names??? ‘*Yes; they were Foreman Brotherton, and Many, Perry and Hotchkiss. The latter was tixed for convictionanyway. Our votes varied on these six ballots, and on Saturday we took six more. The first of the six stood eleven for acquittal and one for murder in the second degree—that was Hotchkiss. All the others stood the same way. Sunday we discussed the case but little, and took no votes. This morning we began with formal ballots, and took four, all of Which stood eleven for ae- quittal and one (Hotchkiss) for conviction of murder inthesecond degree. Friday wecould d6 nothing with Hotchkiss. Wewere forced to give itup, for we could not, of course, even agree with him.’’ _ — i oe Blaine and Conkling Compared. {Washington Cor. Corrier-Jovfnal. } I chanced lately to be engaged in a conver- sation with a Democrati@ Senator anda Republican Justice of the United States Su- preme Courc, in which both expressed great wonder at the universal unpopularity of Sen- ator Conkling with these of his own class in political and social life. Both said he séemed to bave a singular success in antagonizing his fellow men, and one mentioned the fact of several Senators declining an introduction to bim, alleging as a reason his aggressively in- solent bearing& ‘The Senator observed that be seemed even more unpopular with Repub- lican than with Democratic Senators, and said it was because the former had been long- erin contact with him. ‘*Blaine, on the contrary,’’ added the same Senator, ‘“‘al- though he was always flourish- ing the bloody shirt’ in the Sen- ate, is liked by everybody be- cause outside his maskner is so pleasant. I suggested, as an explanation of the difference in the sentiment towards these two politicians, the fact that Conkling’s egotism was always aggressive, and whether he desired to concili- ate or to defy, he antagonized alike by his self- assertion. He never shows appreciation of the good in another save by a patronage that is an insult as implying the stooping of a movareb to a subject which says in effect to the victim: **I am tolerant of you, but it 1s only because the good will of a dog 1s to be preferred to bis ill will.” Blaine, on the other hand, while his vanity is doubtless as great as Conkling’s, and his flattery of word and manner as insincere, has tact enough to conceal all selfish purpose when he is seeking the good will of others, and to. pay the compliment of implying that favorabie opinion is sought because he consid- ers that of the man or woman he is propitiating worth winning. He rarely failsin thees efforts, although few believe m his sincerity, but it is difficult for any to resist believing to a certain extent that he who values him or her so highly is wrong 1n his estimate, for to doubt his sin- ceritvy is to disparage one’s-self, and so the ay Pee attains his end—personal pop- ularity. + — ~~ Se _— Unser Fritz and the Jews. [From the Londom Morning Post. | The visit of the Crown Prince of Germany to the Synagogue of Berlin on the occasion of a recent concert for charitable objects forms one of the most curious incidents of the dis- pute which has arisen between the German Jews and an opposite section of the German nation. For some time past a vigorously con- ducted discussion bos been carried on which has for its subject the alleged grievances of the Germanjpeople from the malitude of Is- raelites who are every day acquiring fresh positions: of influence and distinction in the public and private life of the country. To read the attacks which come from the so-called Christian side a foreign observer might readily fancy himself in Koumania under the bygone system of persecution and misrep- resentation,.which has been fortunately ter- minated by the action of the European pleni- potentiaries in the German capital not two yearssgo. At the very moment that the Ger- man Government is still using every effort to make the concessions to the Israelites of Rou- mania more humane and liberal, ic excites an additional feeling of surprise to find the senti- ments of the bigoted Christians of Bucharast reproduced by natives of the special land of “culture” and enlightenment. The fact,curious as it ie, must be admitted, however, and there can be no doubt that the splendid successes of Germans of Hebrew blood in every depart- ment of art, literature, science and politics have stirred up the envy or the spite of a cer- tain class of Germans, who would apparently desire to see the Jews confined once morein their Ghettos and Judenstrassen. It was in answer to these extraordinary manifestations of a perverted patriotism, to call it by the most indulgent name at our disposal, that the Crown Prince made a pointof attending the charity concert at the synagogue. Probably the brilliant company and the venerabie elders in Israel wbo were present had no expectation that the courtesy of the Prince would have gone beyond the very significant fact of his at- tendance. The German Crown Prince, how- ever, is nota man to do things by halves, and before leaving the synagogue he. took an opportunity of declaring openly to sume of the leaders of the Jewish community that his presence was specially in- tended as aresponse to the unworthy Ger- mans who were striving to excite feelin of prejudice and ill-will among the population of the Fatherland against their fellow-country- men of the Hebrew faith. The action of the Crown Prince does credit both to his qualities of heart and head. It wasa kind and gener- ous impulse which caused him to take up the defense of one of the most valuable sections of the German peofle, and it was no less wise than just to.affix the stigma of his disappro- bation in this manner upon the paltry and cowardly policy which would punish the Ger- man Jews for having shown exceptional abili- ty and industry in the social and political life of the State. . May Jurors Eat and Drink? [Cor. Albany Law Journal. J Apropos of the jury drinking wine during the trial of the seven bishops, it is stated in 1 Inst. 227 that ‘*when the evidenceis given the july are to be kept together till they bring in their verdict, without speech with any, and without meat or drink, fire or candle, other- wise than with leave of the court, by consent of the parties; and the court may give them leave to eat or drink at the bar but not out of court.’’ If jurymen. after being sworn, either before or after they are agreed of the verdict, eatand drink, the verdict may be good, but they are finable; but if it be at the charge of either parties the verditt is void. Old Dyer mentions a case where the judge was informed that the jurv had eaten food after they bad retired, and he found that they had had some ‘‘pippins,’’ of which some confessed that they had eaten, but others said they had qnot. His Lordship se- verely reprimanded them afl, and fined those who bad eaten twelve shfflings each,and those who had not six sbillings each, ‘‘for that they had them -(7."e., the apples) in their pockets.’’ In Hilary Term, 6 Henry VIIL[., it appeared by a motion in the Court of Queen’s Benefi that in a case tried before Lord Chief Justice Reed, the jury, after being locked up and before giving their verdict, had eaten and drunk. The Chief Justice fined them heavily, but took their verdict. An ap- plication was made in term to set aside the verdict for irreguiarity, the jury having eaten when they ought to have fasted; and another motion was madete have the fines inflicted upon thejurers remitted. The ‘‘twelve good men and true’’ said that they bad all made up their minds before they ate, ana returning into court to deliver their verdict found that the Lord Chief Justite had run out to seea fray; thereupon, not knowing when the judge would return, they had eaten refreshments. ‘The Court held the fines to have been proper- ly inflicted but did not disturb the verdict. In Iowa, lately, it was decided that the drinking of two glasses of beer by a juror, pending trial, after the adjournment of the Court and eleven hours before another ses- sion, did not vitiate the verdict; nor does the taking, by a juror, during the trial, of a small quantity of intoxicating liquor, for medicina! purposes, at night, afford grounds for a new trial. And in oiber States the taking of spir- ituous refreshments is not of itself sufficient ground for setting aside a verdict, nor even though the drinking was in a saloon and with the Sheriff. Although if a juror takes the liquor at the invitation and at the expense of the party who afterward gets the verdict, or at his own expense drinks so much that he cdoes not know what heis about, anew trial will be granted. - A Suit Against Paola-Marie. {fromthe Parisian. ] Last Jujy Mile. Paola-Marie signed an en- gagement with Mr. Grau to go for a ten months’ tour in America, accompanied by Capoul and Mile. Angele. Last week a case was heard before the Civil Tribunal of Paris, of which the above engagement was the iudci- rect cause. A certain Mr. Marnet, a dramatic agent, claimed six thousand frances damayes irom Mile. Paola-Marie, whose intermediary he claimed to have been inthis affair. It ap- pears that Mr. Grau wrote to Mr. Marnet,say- ing that he wanted an artist, young, elegant and chic,to replace Mile. Aimee Tronchon,who had resolved to play no longer in America. Mr. Grau added that if Paola-Marie had not become too fat she would suit him. Paola- Marie, it appears, addressed six letters to Mr. Marnet, and then concluded the affair without him. The counsel for Paola-Marie contend that Mr. Marnet was simply the representa- tive of Mr. Grau, andthat he had no claim whatever against Paola-Marie. The judgment will be given next Saturday. Itcame outin the course of thetrial that Mile. Aime@ had gained more than a million of francs during her visit to America. - —— Miss Julia Fletcher. {Letter from Rome. ] Miss Fletcher, I am sorry to say, is very ill with brain fever. Three doctors were in consultation the other afternoon. To-day I have not inquirea how she is, but I fear the bulletins are not more promising than they were the lasttime I heard fromher. The oe girl, since her engagement to Lord entworth, has been subjected to all kinds of annoyances from envious mothers and spinsters, who were epraged at not having secured the matrimonial prize themselves. And they attacked herself and family most unmercifully. Nodoubt this has been the cause of Miss Fletcher’s present iliness. Let us hope that Lord Wentworth will not be weak enough to be influenced by what envious tongues may utter. Heis of an age when a man generally knows his own mind and _ is firm in purpose, notwithstanding all rebuffs; if not, pity poor Miss Fletcher. However, let me not be premature in my fears.

It is entitled, “Georgie, Raise Me from My Pillow,’’ but it is dedi- cated to another young lady, which would seem to indicate that Georgie raised the bard with such success that he recovered and got another girl. The first verseinforms Georgie that the patient will leave her ‘‘ere the robin’s cheerful song tells the waking all around us that itisthe early morn,’’ the time of the address being apparently about1ll p.m. But the chorus is where the author turns himself loose and fairly rivals Mr. Childs.

Perplexing State of Affairs for a Much- : Married Man. _ {Columbus (Ind. ) Special to Cin.

He has been mar- ried four times. His frst wife’s maiden name was Ferguson, who, after one child had been born to them, eloped with her brother- in-law, John Boicourt, and continued to live with him until her death. Joseph Boi- court then married a Miss Sidener, daughter of Wm. Sidener. who before his death was a wealthy farmercf this county. She died some five vears ago, one child, Willie, who inherited considerable from his grandfather Sidener, being the fruit of his second mar- riages After about six months of single bles- sedness Boicourt then married a woman nam- ed Johnson, who died suddenly last Novem- ber. About six weeks after his last wife’s death be wrote to the plaintiff ofthis breach of promise suit, who lived in Brown county, an asked her for her heart and band, and, not receiving a re- ply. after waiting until about one month ago, e married his son’s (the child of his first wife) divorced wife, whose maiden name was Johnson, a niece of his former wife. Two weeks ago he received a letter from the girl in Brown county, saying she would accept his offer, and also naming the second Sunday in February asthe day.

Enough Made from Gambling to Run the Government. , [From the Swiss Continent. | San Marino is a Republican State of small territorial dimensions, but it has earneda European renown. for the keenness of its per- ception in that particular direction which is figuratively described as *‘having an eye tothe main chance.’’ It has for several years past done a fair business in the decorations of its Most Exalted and Illustrious Order of Chival- ry, and has, moreover, derived considerable emolument fromthe sale of ducal and other titles, as the Duke of Paderna. the Baron del Cerreto and the Duchess d’ Acquaviva, among others, can testify. It is, indeed, stated that the last named.title costits present owner no less a ‘‘consideration’’ than £1,400 in cash, a marble statue for the Forum of San Marco, and the expenses incurred by the Re- publican autherities fora popular festivity when the said statue was unveiled. But San Marino, it would appear, not satisfied wit its legitimate trade profits upen such articles as Grand Crosses and patents of nobilitv, has resolved to add to its prosperity by opening a gambling establishment in its capital, upon an unprecedented scale of splendor. The virtu- ous republic, after long hesitation, yielded to temptations advanced by certain wealthy en- trepreneurs, and, “saying it would ne’er consent, consented.’’ So handsome a pre- mium has, we understand, been bargained for by the Government, as an indispensable con- dition to the granting of the concession, that, were it equally divided among the sagacious republicans of this remarkably wide-awake State, each San Marinian would at once find bimselfin a pecuniary position amply qualify- ing him to purchase at least the fourth class of his national order. _—- The Limited Ownership of London. [From the New York Graphic. | ) It is curiously significant of the limited ownership of London that there are not more {han four, if indeed so many, of the British dukes inhabiting housesin the metropolis. The Duke of Portland, the eccentric million- aire. Who died last month, possessed a great metropolitan estate; yet Harcourt House, tie vast, gloomy mansion in which he lived and died, belonged to Mr. Harcourt, M. P. for Oxfordshire. whose grandfather inherited it from his maternal] unele, Earl Harcourt. Even the far-famed Stafford House, the palace of the Duke of Sutherland, stands on land pay- ing ground rent to the Crown, as does Mon- tague House, the vast mansion of the Duke of Buccleuch. The Duke of Bedford, whose London rentals are about 700,000 a year, had a stately abode, the same towhich the patriot Lord Wil- liam Russell fondly turned when on his way to execution in Bloomsbury. This, much to the regret of the present Duke, was pulled down at the beginning of the century, but he now pays rentto his brother, the Duke of Westminster, as does the Duke of Richmond, whose grandfath¢r’s house occupied the site of what is now known as Richmond Terrace, nearthe House of Parliament. That Carabbas of the West End, the Duke of Westmunster, does occupy a house of hisown, as did the Duke of Nerthumberland until Northumber- land House, Charing Cross. was pulled down, but he, too, now pays rent to his brother Westminster, who, like the Brewns, of Provi- dence, buys but never sells. stands in an excellent situation, but is archi- tecturally unworthy of his estate. The hand- somest thing about it externally is a stone screen. dividing it from the street, which was brought from Carlton House when that palace —now as.completely effaced as though the Prince Regent had never existed—was dis- mantled. | —— SS An Actor Victimized. [Philadelphia Cor. New York Herald. ] Last Friday night Barney Macauley, whots playing ‘‘Uncle Dan’l’’ at the South Broad Street Theater, and who occupies apartments on the second floor of the West E Hotel, was made the victim of an adroitly*contrived robbery. While the actor and his spouse were asleep a thief effected an entrance to their chamber and he yr gen cee a pair of diamond earrings, valued at about $300, which Mrs. Macauley had left on her dressing-case; a gold watch and chain, carried by Mr. Macauley as a souvenir of the opening of Macauley’s Theater in Cincinnati, together with about $40, found in the pockets of the actor’s clothes. The thief gained access to the room by boring a small hole through the door, im- mediately over the sliding bolt, and then, by inserwng a wire, drew the bolt back from its fastening. It afterward transpired that a man in evening dress engaged the room adjoining that uf the Macauley’s about midnight, apolo- gizing for the lateness of the hour by saying that he bad left his latchkey at home and only wanted aroom till morning.

New York Scientists Discussing the uties. f¥rom the New. York Times, 20th.] The New York Academy of Sciences held q meeting at No. 12 West Thirty-first street jag evening to listen to a paper by Dr. Henry 4. Mott on ‘*The Diamond; its Origin, Artiticig; Production and Uses.’’ J. S. Newberry, president of the Academy, occupied the chair, andthe two large parlors were completely filled with ladies and gentlemen. Dr. Mott's paper did not aimto give any new views or theories in regard tothe diamond, but it was an interesting resume of the theories and ex. periments of scientitic men who have devoted years to studying the precious gem, and en- deavoring to reproduce it by artificial means. The theory which formerly prevailed that the stone was the product of igneous action, the speaker thought, had been ex. ploded. In many diamonds there were cavi- ties containing liquid matter,. which could hardly have existed had the stone been sub. jected to intense heat. In other. gems were found germs of plants and fragments of vege. tation, which would certainly mave been (de- stroyed by plutonic action. ‘The most reason. able theory of the origin of the diamond, in the face of these facts, was that of Professor Semler. That theory was that at some re. mote period iiquid carbomic acid gas had found itself in solution with pure carbonic, that the gas gradually escaped, and the car. bon was deposited in crystals. On this the- ory tbe presence of vegetable matter,and the liquid in seme diamonds, is reasonably ac- counted for. Every attempt to manufacture diamonds has thus far proved a failure, but Dc. Mott believed that man would yet sue- ceed in making us perfect gems as_ those turned out from Nature’ laboratory. Several diamonds. from the South African fields were exhibited, fsome as they came from the mines, and others pol- ished and prepared for the market. Quite a long discussion on the paper followed. Morton, who has passed twe years at the minesin Africa, said he was inclined to believe that diamonds were constantly growing. and that there were gems in embryo now, which in future ages, when they had attuined their full size, would be unearthed by man. In the African mines the diamonds were found in successive layers of soil, and four of these layers had already been penetrated by the miners. That onthe surface was a kind of red sand, then came a layer of chalky clay, then one of shale, and the fourth, which bas now been penetrated toa depth of about 25) feet, was composed of a substance known.-to the miners as ** pudding stone.’’ A specimen of this was exhibited. It is a dark-colored rock, Which the miners first heat and then place in water, when it is transformed to mud, from which the diamonds are washed. Presi- dent Newberry said that man might possib\y discover a means to manufacture diamonds, but after putting his process into operation he would probably have to wait a few hundred or a few thousand years before he would procure a carbon crystal large enough to discover its form with a microscope. =o —____-__ -_— GIRLISH THIEVES. —— Misses Who Steal the Wardrobes of the Public Schools. {From the Philadelphia ‘Limes. | A week ago the police got wind of what ap- peared to be a well-organized scheme to plun- der the wardrobes in all the public schoois.

The bevy of blondes who compose the main gttraction of Rice’s Surprise Party have be- come quite the rage. The Grand Opera- house 18 thronged nightly with old men and young. al] anxious to get a glimpse at the shapely limbs, forms divine, and other at- tributes, whether real or abstract, which go to make up a pretty, captivating “‘burlesquer.”’ By the way, itis a fact, though passing strange, that all burlesque actresses are piendes—the blonde is the fashion and the brunettes are nowhere. The golden-tinted ringlets reign at present supreme behind the footliguts. An inquisitive Post-Dispatca reporter, in the role of Paul Pry, called on he various belles of the boards, and the fol- lowing interviews will show bow the ‘*blonde purlesquers’’ appear **at home:’? MISS ALICE ATHERTON was first visited, or, togive her name correct- i) and mstyle, Mrs. Alice Edouin, nee Ath- eiton. Miss Atherton 1s known in “Horrors” ys Prince Achmet. She was formeriy one of the Lydia Thompson buriesquers. She isa capital wimic, and off the stage a lively con- yersationvalist. Though not artayed in the classic garb of burlesque spanglies and black tights, Miss Atherton looked just as charm- MT How do you like St. Louis, Miss Atker- ton—I mean Mrs. Edouin?’’ stammered the peporter. ‘Idon’t hke itatall,’?’ wasthe emphatic reply. ‘‘It isn’t so awfully jolly, you know, as walking down Pall Mall.’’ This wasala London Swell. ‘*But at the same time Llike St. Louis audiences. I wish my arms were large enough so that Icould hug them all at once’’—this was pre-eminently in the Emma Abbott style—‘*but they ain’t’’—this with a sigh. Tbe reporter ventured tentatively the re- mark that he would not object to be hugged as a proxy for the entire audience—in fact, he rather liked hugging. Miss Atherton declined the proffered cour- tesy, she was speaking metaphorically, and added sotto voce ‘*it was only in her mind’s eye.” Aftera few more desultory remarks the abashed interviewer witharew,as he found jt impossibie to remain long quiescent bathed in the sunlight of those eyes. ‘*Ta-ta.’’ quoth Prince Achmet. ‘*Au revoir—at the theater,’’ uttered the departing seribe. MISS MARION ELMORE, the petite and simple Zaidee, although *‘she knew a thing or two,” received the reportor- jal fiend with becoming maidealy coyness. ‘How do you do, Miss Sally, ’’ commenced the interrogator, recalling Miss Eimore’s triumph inthe **Bahes in the Wood.’’ ‘The Mercury of the two T’s—the tele- graph and telephone—siniied a sweet smile.’ ‘*| was meditating,’’ she answered de- murely. Then with a burst of confidence— ‘Can you explain this conundrum?’’ and with that she handed the reporter a rumpled sheet of paper with the hotel letter-head. It was atender, effusive missive, and read as {gllows: St. Louis, Jauuagy 20, 1880. Room 48—MiIss: Having noticed your style this evening at the Opera-house, I should like to make your acquaintance, if agreeable. By answering the above, you will oblige yours most respectfully, ROOM 46. ‘*Do you receive many such epistles?’’ “Oh. scores. I throw them allin the fire,” sand forihwith she threw the note in the flames. ‘“Arevou fond of burlesque acting’’’ was the next query. “Fond of it! Ladore it;’? and the sparkling eves twinkled with a merry twinkle. MISS LINA MERVILLE, the next burlesquer intruded upon, did net tackle kindly to the interviewer. She was de- Heuing anew and gorgeous costume for Capt. beauforall, the ladies’ pet. The reporter Ungered—but in vain. ‘*You must receive hundreds of episties,’’ flattered the reporter. ‘**Do 1?’’ ejaculated Miss Lina interroga- tively. A long pause. **]t’s rather warm,”’ ventured once more the reporter. **Is it?’’ again the interrogative reply. **T think so,’’ persisted he. **Do you?’’ retorted she. This was cooling and refreshing. Another pause followed. ‘*This is a remarkable January.’’ said he, after tive minutes’ oppressive silence. **Is it?’’ said she, after two more minutes’ silent misery. Pause—three minutes. ‘*] believe I must go,’’ remarked the anni- hilated reporter. “Do gour’’ interrogated she. ‘**Good bye,’’ said the discomfited inter- viewer... “Dia you speak ?’’ came from the interroz- ative she. love MISS MARION SINGER was found atthe Lindell Hotel after a pro- longed wait, and when she dia appear, the discouraged reporter could think of nothing specialtosaytoher. In the first place, he tried to get her views of the weather, and found that they coincided so strictly with bis own that there was no possibility of argu- mentonthe topic. She thought that the Weather was gloomy,and thatit had a depres- sing effect on the town, and then she and the reporter illustrated the sentiment by becom- _ing very much depressed indeed. Miss Singer hus great capacities for being depressed. She has large black eyes and marked features,is a ‘trong brunette, andif, atthis stage of the proceedings, the scribe looked as tired as she did, the pair would have formed a sweet pic- tureof ennui. Miss Singer is probably one of the few actresses that have come to St. Louis and freed their mind onthe matter. She wouldn’t live in St. Louis, she said—not if ‘he ewned the Linaell Hotel and the finest livery stable in town. There are other places that she would live—San Francisco, for in- ‘unce, or Boston. She admires the Wellect of Boston and the freedom of .*Friseo. In reply to an iuterrogatory she did not think that St. Louis jad struck a happy medium between those two Piaces, but afterwards admitted that at least feoeraphically it had. She thought *‘Horrors” Was funny, funnier than ‘*Revels;’’? denied that it was the offspring of ““Evangeline,”told the reporter she would see him later in re- ‘pone to some further queries. extracted. a promise from him that ke would not print a ‘ine of what she said, and departed for the hotel realms above. MISS PAULINE HALL, the shapeliest of her sex, was visited, and dis- plaved her exquisite figure in a bottle-green (ress trimmed with a new and pretty shading ‘fbroche. Her dark brown hair was combed back, slightly parted at the side, which gave lo her pretty face a roguish expression. The ‘ame colored optics beamed a look of surprise snd pleasure as she welcomed the reporter to ‘he parlor of her hotel. {n reply to a ques- lion as to her favorite city, she miidlv insinu- ated that San Francisco was her port in fair or ‘iny weather. She disclaimed leaving a ‘Weetheart in that city, and stated that she Was not totally averse to St. Louis, as she Was indebted to friends here for very kind 'reatment during sickness last season when fonnected With the Oates Combination. “Yes,’’ remarked she; ‘*Mr. Otis Hall,the ‘oclety reporter of the Great Religious Daily, a specially kind to me.

She had not received any such letters since heradvent into tne city, but in Chicego she had been the recipient of a number of them. They all eontained assurances of _ respect and were generally sent up in bouquets or by mail. Sometimes they containe resents such as rings and other ornaments. he re- porter then asked information about the cos- tumes worn in ‘‘Horrors.’’ The Hebe-like Pauline stated tliat the costumes were fur- nished by the manager, but subsequently modified’ her st«“ement by saying that the tights, shoes, wivs and feathers were provid- ed by each of the actresses, leaving ony the dresses for the management to pay for. These Jatter she said were not very extensive, as they only contained about two vards of mate- rial. The outfit worn by Miss Halli aggregat- ed $60. MISS ROSE WILSON, a bright and sparkling favorite of the foot- hgbts, was interrogated on what she knew about farming. Her bair of light brown was becomingly arranged atid sbe wore a dress of novelty goods, cutto fitheras the paper on the wall. New York was her native heath and she loved it better than anvthing but applause. She walks ina21-2shoe andthe aitirein which she appears in **Horrors’’ cost her 359. Sie stated that she was sometimes the recipient of tender missives from some would-be lover, und her latest infliction Was while on the cars coming to St. Louis. On her arriving here she found a card on her cur-seat, directed to her, asking for a correspondence and also for an exchange of pictures. One letter thus re- ceived, inviting ber to a dinner.contained the Startiing announcement thatif she dia not ‘*smile’’ upon the subscribed he would take to ‘‘otber esmiles’’ and fill a drunkard’s grave. She didn’t know whether his mother would be pleased or not, so she annihilated him with her frowns, Another invitation informed her that the _ festal board which she was asked to grace with her pres- ence could groan beneath the weight of lux- uries and delicacies in and out of season, She did not attach enough weight to the invita- tion to send her regrets for the dinner party. ‘Are you fond of burlesque acting?’’ asked the reporter. ‘‘Well, no. I prefer the legitimate. You know I used to support Sothern, McCullough and other stars. Y intend going back to the legitimate after this season.’’ Miss Wilson was both animated and spright- ly and is evidently alady of no mean attain- ments. MISS FLORENCE BAKER, who impersonates the Princess and appears so charming on the stage in her blonde make- up and blue costume, is a very pretty brown- baired. brown-eyed maiden when seen in every-day life. She is attended bv her moth- er, whois always pleased at her daughter’s success and admiration. She dressesin a very subdued manner, and is modest and lady-like in ber demeanor. She bad ona dress of blue material trimmed with plaid and wore her hair pushed back and slightly parted at the side. Her ornaments werefew, but of pretty design, and consisted mostly of finger-rings of different patterns. She liked Chicago better than any other place. It is rumored that she is engaged to some one in that city,and that causes her to dote on itabove other municipalities. This she denied with slight embarrassment,that gives a founda- tion for the report. She pretends to be gone on the Prince in **Horrors.’’ Of course she hud received a few letters from those who had seen her on the stage, but for reasons thiut must be obvious she has never paid any at- tention tothem. She has avery petite foot, and does her perambulations about this mun- dane sphere ina No. 2 boot. Her costumes would average about $60 to $75 apiece, as a part of them were furnished by the manager of the troupe.

[From the New York Herald.1 Commenting on the great deficiency in the Freneh vintage of 1879 the London Standard thinks that more attention should be paid by England to American and Australian wines. ‘*It is far from unlikely,’’ says that journal, ‘*thatthe timeis coming when we shall be compelled to look fora large portion of our recular wine supply outside the limits of those regions whence we have hitherto exclusively derived it to the fertile soil ofthat New World which lies beyond the Atlantic and to our own antipodean dependencies.’’ The yield is said to be, by the Bulletin de Statistique, 30,000,000 hectolitres under the average of the ten preceding years. Burgundy and Champagne are he districts said to have suffered most, where the yield has been next to nothing, and the two Charentes, where the return scarcely reached a third of that of 1878. It may be some consolation to champagne drinkers, however, to know that the renowncd houses have some twenty million bottles on hand, though we are informed that the total con- sumption of French champagne in the civil- ized world is twenty-four millions of bottles. Of this Great Britain takes five and the United States ten million bottles. Of Burgundy the vield of 1879 is about half that of the ten pre- ceding years. Other districts also declare a deficient yield. The Standard’s suggestion, that wine merchants should turn their atten- tion to America and Australia, is very likely to be adopted in England, and thereis no reason why, in time, we should not be able to furnish Europe with wines as wedo now with so many other articles of consumption. a A Workingman.

It is denied now that the Pennsylvania Railroad is negotiatting for the lease of the Louisville and Nashville road. Col. Scott has leased sufliciently, it is said. Gen. TnoMAsS EwIna is doing absolutely nothing in Congress this year to relieve his country’s distresses. He has not explodeda financial scheme in the hearing of man since the session opencd. Tue bill providing for the emancipation of slaves in Cuba has a passed the Spanish Cortes, and fathers of the Southern exodus should take advantage of this new field for operation. TEXAS, Which polls a few Republican votes, promises to send a solid Grant delegation to the Chicago Convention. The negroes down there have evidently not felt the benign influence of John Sherman’s Treasury patronage. We will undertake to forward to Maine any money contributed in behalf of the un- paid and suffering Fusionists avho are peunding at the back gate of the State- house. We will send it to the care of Gen. Sinith’s ornamental staff. A SICKENING story is given to the coun- try to the effect that Gen. Grant has lost contidence in his old friend Conkling. He recently spoke disparavingly of him, anda decided coolness has sprung up between them. This placesa serious sand-bar in the way of the boom. Bisuor Ryan was probably correct in saying that the Pope had not bothered him- self to the extent of finding fault with Car- dinal McCloskey for his open-armed recep- tion to Parnell. Since the Pope started hisnew newspaper he has had no time for such small affairs as Parnell. ee Ir the Republicans of New York carry out their scheme of choosing Presidential Electors by Congressional districts in- stead of on a general ticket, Mr. Tilden will be able togo a-fishing next year. We will hear no more about his claim to the Empire State. That will be some consola- tion. oe In showing a disposition to fight shy of the financig] questions the House Commit- tee on Banking and Currency manifests good sense, but if the financial quacks in Congress are not allowed to expend them- selves in ways congenial to their nature, they may take to introducing bills and making speeches on agriculture. Wr were promised financial permanency when the country could be brought down to a specie basis, and here we have a fluc- tuation in the equal to the war period. Dry goods, iron, paper and ail articles of merchandise are now commanding war prices with a con- stant upward tendency. This is due, ina great measure, to the crop failures in Eu- rope and the der®nd for our surplus, but the fact ls, we area nation of speculators— price of all staples fully’ ready at all times to take advantage of any incident which will affect values. There is a big boom now, but somebody will get hurt one of these fine days. _— TuIs warm, murky, unnatural winter means no end of sickness for St. Louis-‘next summer. There hasn’t been enough cold weather so far to kill the germs of disease which are lurking around in our sickly corners. It behooves the city authorities to look well to our sanitary condition. Prep- arations should be made for a general clean- ing up with the opening of spring. —_— ee __—_ ed — — _ OLp Howe, of Wisconsin, who has had all the official terms that he will probably ever receive, has written the ablest article in behalf of Grant and a third term that has thus farappeared. His theory is that the in- choateness of the Universe necessitates the skillful guidance of strong hands in repub- lics which are just recovering from the idiosyncrasies incident to civil war—or words to that effect. -_----———- SS ——$— —_ MISs@URI is not the only ex-slave State that is cursed by Bourbonism and which would be blessea by ax infusion of Yankee thrift, prog- ress, education and civilization.—([Uhicago Tribune. Well, send on your Yankees. This State is standing with open arms to receive them, We have a fine lot of land in Mis- souri which is blue-moulding for the want of Yankee thrift and cultivation, and we have no end of gentlemen who are suffering to swap real estate for Yankee money. —— Se —-——-—-» Wer heara great deal of talk about an early adjournment of Congress. The merry month of May is even spoken of as the limit of the session. Place no reliance in these reports. Members of Congress are never s@ big and so important as when they are in Washington, and nothing short of mosquitoes and July weather can force them into the rural districts when the law doesn’t prescribe the duration of the ses- sion. ———————————— Lovers of the rule of the sword and bayonet, who are languishing for strong men and a strong Government, have an idea that Grant and Chamberlain would run well on a Republican Presidential ticket because of the likelihood of their taking their seats in the event of anelection. J. Madison Wells or John Sherman weuld probably answer better. They would be likely to make an effort to take their seats without the formality of an election. es —_———<_ ACCORDING to Judge Boyle’s recent in- terpretation of the law the St. Louis School Board should consist of fifty-six members instead of twenty-eight, as itis at present constituted. The Court, while deciding against the Citizens’ Committee, intimated that the board itself should take action in the matter. From the interviews printed in another column it will be seen that while the members are opposed to any increase of the present number of school representa- tives they believe that the law demands fifty-six. Ifthe School Board is an illegal corporation it may give rise to some curious complications. —_ —_————- — — -— — A PASTEBOARD EMPIRE. The historian of the Republican objects to the characterization of the Second Empire in France as a “‘pasteboard concern’’ by the Post-DispaTcu. He is at pains to show that M. Louis Verheul, adventurer and tramp, managed to steal powerin France inthe year 1851, and kept his seat and his fraudylént throne fora period of nineteen years. Because his tenure exceeded that of the First Napoleon three years, lasted one year longer than the reign of Louis Philippe, .and immeasurably longer than the reigns of Charles X., Louis XVI. and Louis XVIIL., the historical student of the Repudlican con- cludes that the mackerel-eyed pretense of an Emperor who never had a drop of Bona- parte blood inhis veins was a great man— a distinguished statesman. The so-called Louis Napoleon crept into France after a period of great restlessness—after years of revolutionary changes and unsatisfactory results. Under pretense of devotion to Re- publicanism he obtained a position in the Assembly and then the Presidency, and when the opportune moment came deliber- ately, cowardly and brutally betrayed the “people. He murdered a Republic to set up the glitter, tinsel and pomp of an Empire, like his illustrious alleged uncle, and like his illustrious alleged uncle he came to grief. The French people, tired of changes and reyolts, were captivated by the show of the empire, fascinated by the magic ofaname, andfor years submitted to the fraud. The soi-disant Louis Napoleon | was nota fool, though he was a most thor- ough knave. He was as much of an in- spired idiot asanything else. He believed in destiny. He pursued his course with the undeviating, restless purpose of a creature who believed that he had a divine right to rule and plunder his fellow-men. He was notlacking in the elements of statesman- ship. Senator Lamar, who knew him close- lyand studied him carefully, says that he had many of the elements of greatness. A man who could thus inspire with confidence such a student of men as Lamar was cer- tainly not an ordinary person. But that the second empire was a pasteboard con- cern is evidenced by the fact that when its test came it crumbled like a thing of clay. The Emperor invited the war which brought humiliation and distress to France. In the hour of trial it was found that the men of the empire, called into being by this musbroom-ruler, were incompetents and thiéves. Belonging to a government which was not founded on intelligence, morality or right, they had all leagued together to plunder the people and enrich themselves. The army, which was to. defend the soil which had nurtured this hatching-place of imperialistic thieves, was an army of paper equipped with® arms which were veritable antiques, provided with cartridges made of sand and *officered by fools. The decheunce came, and, when the bastard empire rolled into the dust, there was no arm lifted in France to restore it. It was not wanted. In disgrace and in exile the man of the coup d’etat of December Second died without composure. The creature whom he raised up to bind chains on the necks of the French people was stabbed to death by a lot of greasy, clouted negroes in an African mealie field, and all that is left of the nineteen-year-o9ld Empire founded on robbery and wrong by the son of a Dutch Admiral is an odorous memory, & sense of humiliation and a burning hatred in the hearts of true Frenchmen. To-day France has a government based on intelligence, human justice and the rights of mankind. It is not perfect by any means, It may waver and fall; but, in the end, the Repub- lic will live. For every struggle in France has been in the direction of republicanism and liberty. At the end of every gtruggle the people have been basely betrayed. They have learned in the processes of the years, and have probably reached the stage where an impostor with a big name or a bloody cheese-knife will not be able to put a hook in their noses and lead them at his will. The Second Empire never brought ‘anything but demoralization, corruption and humiliation to the people of France. As sincere republicans, as haters of shams and enemies of the accursed doctrine that any man can earn the right to enslave ard make governments efor men, Americans should refrain from attempts to glorify that shameful record of brutal rule, the sole merit of which is that it sat for nineteen years like a nightmare upon the bosoms of & passive people. WE are pained to observe that our con- temporary, the Globe-Democrat, has per- mitted its hatred of John Sherman to ex- tend to the General of the Army in his con- test with Mr. Boynton, the self-proclaimed Aristides of the American Press. *The editor of the G.-D. was a war correspond- ent of creditand renown, and he must know that his declaration that the Memoirs of Gen. Sherman are unreliable is measura- bly unfounded. Most men in writing of themselves and of the events in which they participated are prone to overstate things, and to sling in the color where it is needed. The art of drawing it mild in autobiographi- cal work is quite rare. Gen. Shermanisa hot-tempered, testy gentleman of good im- pulses and proper instincts. There is cer- tainly no question astohis capacityas a fighter. His book of Memoirs deals roughly with a class of incompetent jackanapes who masqueraded with his army as generals, by virtue of their jaw power as politicians, and who werereally apart of the impedi- menta of the army. Ever since the publi- cation of Sherman’s work these little crea- tures have kept up amost undignified squealing. To this class belongs doughty Gen. Boynton. The book contained too much truth to suit some of the taulor- shop soldiers, and in most repects failed to exploit them _ sufficiently. One of the worst teatures of the Memoirs is the attempt of Gen. Sherman to prove that the battle of Shiloh was a forcor- dained affair and that it was not in any sense a surprise. All persons familiar with that misunderstanding are well aware that it was in the nature of an unpleasant inter, - ruption, $0 far as Sherman’s army was concerned, to say the least. Sherman and Grant should have both been cashiered after that battle and drummed out of the army. Under the strict rules of war, their ears should have been cut off before the drum- ming-out process. Sherman’s defense in his Memoirs of that shameful piece of bad generalship was one of the necessities, and in making it he shielded Grant, who was equally culpable. Itis not altegether im- probable, however, that the surprise of Sherman at Shiloh was a good thing. His army of undisciplined, raw and primitive troops probably made a better fight under the shock of sudden surprise than they would hdve made if they had been subject- ed to the strain and anxiety incident to the dreadful preparation for battle. Like the drunken man who rolled down stairs and remarked that he “‘allus cum down that way,’’ the inexperienced Western plow-boys who constituted Sherman’s army at Shiloh and who were pounced upon in the most cruel and unceremonious manner doubtless thought that inviting an army out to battle before breakfast without preliminaries “was the sweetest and most approved thing in the refinement of war. Two new United States Senators were hatched yesterday. In Louisiana the Demo- cratic caucus selected Randall Lee Gibson to succeed Mr. Kellogg in 1883. Mr. Gib- son is a native of Kentacky, but has resid- ed in Louisiana ever since 1850. He is forty-eight years ofage. During the war of the rebellion he served in the Southern army and achieved the rank of General. He was elected to the Forty-third,Congress, but was refused his seat. He has served in the Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Congresses and is now serving in the House as the Representative of the Figst District of Louisiana. Heis one of thre most conserva- tive, intelligent and influential Southern representatives in Congress. In, Missis- sippi the Democrats, after a protracted struggle, finally succeeded in choosing Hon. J. Z. George as the successor of Bhuce. Mr. George is a lawyer of prominence and a local politician of renown. He was chair- man of the Democratic State Central Com- mittee when the carpet-bag government of the State was overthroWn in 1875, and the people have held him in grateful remem- brance ever since. Although a hard-shell Democrat he is more careful and conserva- tive than either Barksdale or Singleton, and his selection will prove advantageous to the party at large. On the whole, the coun- try is to be congratulated on the promotion of two such sensible and patriotic men. RABBI SONNESCHEIN, having exhausted the Shylock question, has been provoked by John D. Finney into making the assertion that the ancient Hebrews had a sort of be- liefina system of future rewards corre- sponding to the orthodex Christian heaven, but that they had no hell. Unfortunately there is nothing in the venerable Hebrew writings which constitute the Bible to base this assertion on, though the learned Rabbi imparts to some mystical passages of Deu- teronomy and the Psalms a faint intimation of a future life. A colder, more hopeless, dark and heathenish collection than the Hebrew histories which preceded the com- ing of the Savior would be hard to find. Notwithstanding Rabbi Sonneschein’s in- genuity he will certainly be puzzled to es- tablish the impression that his illustrious ancestors ever indulged in the hope of a life beyond the grave prior to the Christian era, or that they ever formulated such a doctrine as the immortality of the soul. Their longings may have been great but they seem to have lacked both faith and theory. However, the discussion should prove an interesting one. 3 Hon. S. S. Cox, who has a large Irish constituency in New York City, may have strengthened himself politically in rushing aresolution through the Heuse inviting Parnell to appearin the hall and address members of Congress on the wrongs of Ire- land, on the 2d of February, but he certain- ly lowered the dignity of the body of which he isa member. Mr. Parnell may be a pa- triot but he is simply recognized here as an agitator and politician. Congress has no more right to invite him to its floor to make a speech than it has to invite Denis Kearney or any other assumed friend of humanity. Sympathy for Lreland is to be shown now by acts and not by pretentious demagoguery. Since Mr. Cox has estab- lished the precedent for opening the doors of the House to traveling politicians we shall next have an English landlord, per- haps, presenting his side of the question,and Lucy Stone or Susan B. Anthony detailing the wrongs of women to our national rep- sentatives. WHEN garments and — become so thoroughly impregnated with disease as to ‘uake purification impessible, they are buried. he Democratic party seems to bein that con- “ition. Itissothoroughly pervaded with po- Litical poison that its purification 1s hopeless. It should be cremated, and its ashes scattered to thefour winds of heaven. This beautiful paragraph was not written by Schuyler Colfax, J. Madison Wells, Gen. Belknap, Boss Shepherd nor the talented Postmaster of Providence, Rhode Island, who permitted a Government draft to go to protest, the other day, to the amount of $15,000. It was penned by. the distin- guished editor of the Indianapolis Journal, one of the few Republicans who have not yet been charged with rascality or compelled to leave good offices at the command of out- raged public sentiment. It is probably well that there is a spared Republican here and there throughout the country who has still enough reputation for honesty left to be able to write this species of intellectual rot. Tne Bullion Club, of New York City, has sent a petition to the Senate, through Mr. Conkling, declaring that it is impossi- sible to secure a return to practical specie money so long as paper money of small denominations is kept in circulation. They ask that all paper money be restricted to bills of $20 and upward. The gentlemen of the Bullion Club all have interests in silver and gold mines. Very naturally they are anxious to push their business. The withdrawal from cireulation of all small pa- per bills would be a hardship and nuisance. Specie, inlarger sums thar five dollars, is highly inconvenient for handling. The paper money isan absolute blessing, and the people don’t want anything better when they know that it will command the hard money on presentation. The brass- mounted bullionists of New York shouldn’t betray their selfish meanness all at once. ——_- —— WE may not be able to get up any great Shakespearean or religious controversies, but we can attend to the poetry business in the Post-Dispatch.

An extra edition will be run off | I to meet the demand, We care not who makes the laws and couducts the Shakspearean diseus- sions if we can enjoy a monopoly of reproduc- ing standard poetry... = oo NEW YORKERS are moving in behalf of the appointment of women as census takers in the upper waras of the city. Asa rule wo- inen would be admitted to residences where men would be charily received. As gatherers of social statistics women are absolutely with- out rivals. The disposition to stop and take tea and spendafew hours in gossipping at each house would have atendency to retard the census work, but in the end it would be very complete. HIGHWAYMEN have taken to boarding and plundering street cars in Chicago. It is to be hoped that the thugs and murderers who are devastating that town will revive the ancient feudal’code which alloWs citizens to take sanc- tuery. The average Chicagoan would doubt- less now find protection at the horns of the altar, but the scarcity of churches and altars is severely felt. PARSON TALMAGE, having publicly spoken of the moral rottenness of his brethren of the Brooklyn Presbytery, has been trying to apol- ogize ever since, but without satisfactory re- sults. There is a faint possibility that the Parson will yet be compelled to leave his pul- pit and take the place in the cireus ring made vacant by the promotion of D. Rice, clown. Mr. BERRY MITCHELL, the Actor, has ex- pressed a desire to play Othello to Mr. Band- mann’s Iago, at Pepe’s, next week. This would, indeed, be a great treat for our lovers of Shakspeare. We think we could guarantee an overwhelming house for two such trage- dians. ai Mrs. FraNCcIS A. BEARD, of Andover, Mass,, has been accused of burning up a houseful of her own children. She is said to be insane. All Massachusetts people who do wrong areinsane. This is reliable. _— GEN. GARFIELD has eaten twelve swell dinners in Washington since his election to the Senate, and is now as roseate as a street- paving contractor of the old school.

EX-SENATOR HENDERSON. | The Sherman and Blaine Movements— Grant Losing Strepgath—lLhe Bayard Boom Increasing. Hon. John B. Henderson returned from Washirgton yesterday, where he has been staying for some time. A reporter hada short talk with him at the United States Circuit Court, this morning. On the re. porter introducing the subject of politics Mr. Henderson said: ‘I know very little about politics at Washington. [ went there on business, and had very little to do with political matters.’’ **Was there much talk concerning candi- dates?’’ **T suppose there was; but I had my inter- est concentrated on business. Of course, [ heard some of the talk.” ‘What do you think of Sherman’s chances?” ‘‘Oh! Sherman is _ developing - new strength as a Presidential candidate. He is gaining ground constantly. Sherman has a great many strong and decided friends who -are assisting him in every possible way.’’ **Isthere any other Republican candidate gaining strength?’’ ‘*Yes; Blaine is gaining considerable strengths, and his popularity is increasing mieatly as amavailabie presidential nominee.’’ ** What of%irant?’’ centinued the reporter. ‘In the same degree that the two former are increasing in strength, Gen. Grant is decreas- ing.’’ **How do you account for it?’’ **A great many Republicans are becoming fully satisfied that if Grantis nominated, the party can not expect to carry any of the doubtful States at the nexct election. The third term business injures him as a ecandi- date, and the party leaders are looking around for a more availabie nominee.’”’ **What Stutes do you. think he will fail to carry??? . , **] think that the third term will beat him in Ohio and Indians, while it is barely pos- sible thatin Wisconsin and even Lllinois the samething may wolk against him, #0 asw lose the States. For these reasons I think Grant is losing strength, and Sherman and Blaine are gaining.’’ ‘“Wopat about the Democratic names men- tioned in connection with & nomination?” ‘‘Bayard is gaining strength. His hard money views were unpopular in the West for some time. They injured his chances, but now the Western members seem to be getting over that feeling.’’ Before the reporter had. an opportunity to question Mr. Henderson on the Marshalship for the Eastern District of Missouri, he was called to attend a case and consequently had to be excused. _ — _- THE BARRIELLE ARREST. The Other Side of the Story—A Singu- lar Succession of Mixed Marital Rela- tions. Miss Julie Barrielle was arrested yesterday evening at the Union Depot, where she was en route to Leadville, upon a telegraphic re- quest from New York, it being alleged that she had got away with a considerable amount of property belonging to Mr. William Can, who is on his way to St. Louis with an officer to take her back to New Yorks Miss Julie’s companion, a Mr. Auguste Thion, was arrested atthe same time, and the pair brought up to the Four Courts, where Thion was discharged at once, there PosT-DISPATCH reporter met Thion in com- pany with Mr. Garesche, and while pone was ordering acup of chocolate and some bread and butter to be sent over to the jail to his imprisoned lady was asked for an explanation of the affair. He speaks English badly, and Mr. Garesche kindly translated his story, which runs thus: ‘‘Julie met Pierre Can in New York some time ago. and as the pair took astrong liking to each other, they lived together without the formality of a marriage; and after several years of happiness Pierre, who had a number of pe bears, started off on his travels, leaving Julie behind. He went 0 Colombia and Venezuela and various out of the way places, and Julie at last lot track of him, whereupon she started out to find him, going first to Martinique. She cave up the quest upon information received ther. and came back to New York, where she bought a hotel in Clinton Place, where tle French and Swiss Consuls were in the habit of sending men who were awaiting transports tion home. Wm. Can, a _ brother of her [ove'; beat his board out of her all this time, aod wanted her to live with him, but she wow! not doit, and to escape his continual i- ition she roid cut and start Vest with me. Although she stayed ten dy in New York after selling out, no arrest W% made. but now that we are this far away be attempts to blackmail us with a trumped U charge of stealing. ber own money, and Wiliam Can has already beat her out of enough.’’ The _ prisoner.

He wagsa very artfully dresaed centleman who had seen better days, his shoes were nicely shined, and the place where one of the uppers had parted with the sole by a remark- able coincidence was covered with mud. His pants were shiny atthe knees and kinkly in other places, his coat was closely buttoned over a black stock and a brand new paper col- lar and he was cleanly shaven but rather old. “Which is the Judge?”’he asked of the loiterers about the police court, and upon the identi- fication of his Honor, the stranger walked up to him and said: ‘*I’mCol. Stark, sir, of Yell- ville, Arkansas, and am glad to meet you. Put it there!’’ Judge Jecko sized him up and putit there in deep silence. ‘‘Jedge,’’ he continued, ‘I’m proud to meet you, sir. I want to make a few inquiries of you,.’’ **Well?’’ *‘What is the expense ofa plain, ordinary drunk, you know; no extravagant business of smashing plate-glass and chewing up apeel- er, buta sound, substantial, econongical jam- boree, on whisky and lemon, and no side is- sues?’’ and he leaned forward eagerly for the answer. **Well, just $3.°’ **Does that include costs?’ **Yes, sir; thatis the costs alone. J don% fine a drunk unless he is an aggravated case.’’ ' **Oh! I shan’t aggravate for a cent; just wait one second,’’ and he dived down into his pockets and producea a handful of silver, from which he selected three dollars and totted up the balance; *‘one dollar and seventy-five cents—that makes seventeen and a_ pony. Judge, will you hold that there kind of three in escrow for me ull this time to-morrow?’’ and be passed over three dollars and turned to leave. ‘*Whatdo you mean, anyhow?’’’ quericd the puzzled magistrate.~ ean? Why, I mean that I’m a law-abid- ‘ing citizén, but my son wuenry’s got a young one and I’m going to getas ohockful of bug ulce as one dollar and seventy-five cents wil! et me—ihat’s the platform upon which I’m unanimous;’’ and before anybody could reason with him he had turned upon his hee} and left.

The decision of Judge Boyle in dismissing the petition of James Shaw and others, who sougbt a decree orering an election for twen- ty-eight additional members of the School Board, ineidentally touched upon the legality of the board as pow composed. The petition was dismissed on the grounds that the courts were judicial in character; and were not au- thorized to exercise legislative or executive functions, such ks ordering an election of members for a corporation created by the Legislature. The court, in delivering the opinion, held that thes¢cheme and charter regulations concerning the School Board were invalid and inoperative on account of their conflict with the regulations of the School Board charter. on the same subject. The latter corporation was aistinct and independent of the city as a municipal corporation, and was not effected by the change which had been made in the city organization as arranged by the free- holders. As a consequence the board as originally organized, consisting of two mem- bers from each ward, was decided as the legal number, and notasingle person from each ward, as at present constiuted. By the dis- missal of the petition on other grounds the decision rendered as to membership was made non-compulsory, and the question remains as it did before the suit was instituted. ‘To as- certain What action would be taken in the premises, reporters for 4he PosT-DISPATCH visited members of the Sehool Board with the subjoined result: _ MR, EVERETT W. PATTISON, the attorney for the School Board, wis visited and ins reply to a question concerning that decision said: ‘*The opinion delivered by Judge Boyle was almost exactly the same as that I gave tothe Scpool Board on the question, when I was first made the attorney for that corporation. This was that the freebolders had no power to change the board as originally organized by the char- ter from the Legislature. On aceount of my giving that opinion I asked to be reli@évedfrom appearing in the proceedings insti- tuted by Shaw and several other citizens asking that ul speci il election be ordered by the court at whieh the additional twenty-eight members, making two members from each ward, should be elect- 77 ed.’ “What will the board do in view of that de- cision ?’? **I have not conversed with any members of the board, and consequently don’t know what they propose to do. There is nothing com- sulsory in the decision as rendered by Judge soyle. as the petition asking for the election was dismissed. Under existipg state of affairs the board is not compelled to make a move in any direction.’’, : PRESIDENT HILL, **T think that Judge Boyle is correct in his decision of the Shaw petition case,’’ said Dr. Rh. J.Hill, President of the School Board, in reply tothe reporter’s interrogatory on that point. He continued, ‘tas far as my knuowl- edve of law goes the board in the future will have to consist of 56 members in place of 28 as is now the case.”’ ‘*What will be done by the board or others?’ ‘‘Itis the board’s business to act in the premises. As Il understand the decision, the board alone are constitutionally authorized to order an election. I shall certainly recom- mend a compliance withthe law at the uext meeting of the board if the matter is only allowed to remain until that meeting. which takes place the second Tuesdayin Febru- ary.’ **Why not call a special meeting?’’ queried the reporter. **] shall recommend an election at which the twenty-eight additional members can be elected,’’ continued the Doctor, ‘*but I can’t see any reason for calling a special meeting for that purpose. By delaying the matter, + Which bas already been a long time under discussion, until the regular meeting, the expense of a speCial meeting is avoided, and ampletime is given the members to consider the matter and make up their minds on the proper course to pursue. ’’ ‘*Willsuch a move for an election meet With much opposition in the boards???’ ‘*It may meet with some opposition, but ] think it will pass the bourd, impracticable as we think such an increase of mem- bers. I base my opinion on iis im practicability, or the fact that the board becomes unwieldy in size and more expensive in addition. Generally small bodies do more eflicient work than iarge ones. The law, however, says the board shall con- sist of fifty-six members, and we will showa disposition to comply with it as nearas we understand it.’’ MR. F. N. JUDSON, another member of the board was visited, and inreply to questions gave- his views on the decision and its results on the School Board as follows: **I have notread the full text of the de- cision of Judge Boyle as carefully asI desire, but I understand its general prospect to coin- cide withthe view heretofore taken by Mr. Patterson, the attorney of the board. The Court holds that the Board of Freeholders had no power to change the basis of representa- tion inthe School Board established by the Schoo!) Board charter, but refuses to order an election for twenty-eight new members (oue from each ward)on the ground that the lawun der which the application is made is unconsti- tutional. -I should regard a membersbip of fifty-six members in the School Beard as an unmixed misfortune to the schools and the yublic interests. In my opinion a less num- Ae would be more efficient than twenty-eight, the present number. On a question of such importance, involving such serious conse- quences, I am inclined to -—sCthhink that the members, however (le- sirous of conforming to the —_ law, should wait the final determination of the courts of last resort, taking all proper steps to facilitate such decision of the question, so that the legal relation of the board to the city charter may be settied for the future.’’ DR. JAS. M. CLOPTON said he had not given the decision of Judge Boyle a great deal of attention, and so he was not prepared to express any opinion as to what effect that decision would have on the School Board. He quite agreed with the views of Mr. Patterson when that gentleman gave his legal opinion on the question to the board. Dr. Clopton continued: *:I think we are en- titled to two members from each ward in the city, and don’t believe the city scheme and charter bad any right or autbority to our rep- resentation as specified in the charter from the Legislature creating the School Board.*’ He said that he was not acauainted with the legal points involved, and of course could not speak on those points. Te thought that the proper way to remedy the matter was to refer it to the Legislature. but that until such an action was taken the board ‘was entitied to twomembers from each ward. In reply to a question ef how he would vote on the question when brought before the board, he said: ‘*l will vote for a recommendation ordering an election of twenty-eight addition- al members of that body.”’ In cenclusion, he taid that a move would be made to have the representation in the School Board based upon legislative districts instead of ward lim- its, a8 was the case at present. He consider- ed it more just, and was positive that it would come up before the next Legislature. MR. J. J. M’CANN, nother member of the Sehoo! Board, in speaking of tbe decision In the Shaw petition cause, said that he didn’t see how anv other decision than tbat rendered could be reached, e rp his Soon Es =e FL . ’ ’ Yr - , ® 7 F ye : > 5 . —_ be ‘ * a’ 7 2 ¢ re - — -_* 2 “ b . *« . from each ward. He based this opinion on the fact that the Scheme and Charter regula- tions concerning the school were invalid be- cause they conflicted with the charter he School Board, which was independent of both Scheme and Charter and the City Council. The question of membership had been discuss- ed mm the board and the matter was referred to a committee, who reported that it was not advisable to agitate the subject. That policy has been followed ever since by the board. In answer toa question what the board would do, he said: ‘‘Il,think we ought to havea special meeting to consider the subject. The question should be submitted to the attorney and his advice on the course to pursue should be duly considered. Iam in favor of the law as it stands, although I don’t think 1t will im- rovethe board to have fiftv-six mem»ers, wut such is the law and we will have to abide by it. DR. T. E. HOLLAND, member from the Thirteenth Ward, said: “As I understood it, the decision of Judge Bovle is that there may be t'vo representa- tives from each ward inthe School Board, miking the membership 56 instead of 4S, but that the School Board alone nas the power to authorize the increase, For myself, 1 will say that I am opposed to any increase in the membership. It will make the board entirely too cumbersome. I think we have too many in the board already; twen- tv-one would besufticient, and I would rather see the membership cut down than to see it increased. I have no idea what the board will do aboutit, but I hope the matter will be kept off till we can get an amendment through the Legislature definitely fixing the membership.’’ Mr. Gustav Sessinghaus. member of the board from the Sixth Ward, in regard to the decision,.said: ‘**We have too tmanvy mem- bers now; half the number would be sufli- cient. If there was fifty-six members there would not be half the interest taken in mat- ters pertaining to the board as there is at present. I, for one, would lose all interest. rhe people’s interests are carefully watched now, with one member from each ward,’’ MR. HENRY SCHWEICKHARDT could not give an opinion on the subjeet le- fore be had studied the decision and compared it with the charter. Mr. Schweickhardt would be strongly in.favor of but fourteen members. DR. C. SPINZIG, the member from the Fifth Ward, said: ‘*Werethere fifty-six members we would have to hold two meetings a week to give all achance to let off their superfluous wind. There istoo much talk now. There is no practical need for more members than we have. The people have adequate representa- tion now ; too much if any- thing. To have *wo members from each ward would give rise to partisan feeling, and the educational interests would be neg- lected, while party spirit would demand at- tention. At present we have in each ward an election for members of the School Board every third vear. With fifty-six members, two elections in three years would be necessary. This would have a tendency to bring peity politicians to the front as candidates instead of men who are adapted to the pees gh Here would be another draw- back: If you have two members from one ward who radically differ in poiitics and re- ligion, one would pull down what the other built up, sothat matters would come to a standstill. No; to put fiftyesix members in the board would be retrogression, and what is needed 1s progress. ”’ JOHN J. MNOLLIDAY coincided with the views of Judge Bovle, be- lievipng that the School Board bad but half of its representation. He thoughtthe Citizens’ Committee would take the proper proceedings at an early day to make the Board a cdnstitu- tic. nal one and he would so express himself at the bext meeting of the Board. He was of the opinion thatit madeno difference to the citizens of St. Louis whether the School Koxrd was composed of 28 or 56 memlers, but the law, according to his interpretation ol it, plainly required the latter number and be proposed to bea law-abiding citizen by conforming to every statute. CHARLES 8S, RUSSELL had pot examined the decision thoroughly and would give no opinion. He stated he had an opinton, end atthe next meeting of the Schoo! Board, if the subject sheuld arise, he would take a hand in the discussion, ana the public might then Know how he stood. It is generally believed that Mr. Russell opposes ibe decision of Judye Boyle. MICHAEL FOERSTEL was disposed to look upon tbe decision from a practical standpoint. He thought thatif iwenty-eight additional members were elected tothe board, it would necessitate a regular session, the length of which no one could predict, if the newly elected members were gifted with gab in vroportion to the semi-éegal organization that now wastes many a precious hour in useless debate. Mr. Foer- stel does not like the idea of doubling up the board. If there is any change to be made, the better one would be to decrease, rather than increase the number, and the business would be more ‘thorough, and transacted With greater facility. However. though taking this view of the decision, he will enter no protest to a new election, but calmly sub- mit to the results. CITY PERSONALS.

Prof. Husmann spoke in favor of Columbia, and another delegate wanted it at St. Joseph; but the motion in favor of Kansas City was adopted. The committee on the protection of the orig- inators of new plants and fruits reported that upon due consideration of the matter, it was not deemed practicable to offer protection to the originators of new plauts and fruits and be just to the general public. Mr. P. F. Smith, of St. Louis, chairman ef the committee appointed to examine Murray Bros.’ orchard ®aler, reported that the ma- chine Was simple in construction. easily worked, and worthy of trial. A vote of thanks was tendered to the School Board for the use of their rooms during thegeonvention,: to the janitor of the building a to Mr. Isaac Hedges for his kindness in illustrating his method of making sugar from sorghum syrup. The society then went inate the disepssion of the growing of pairs. Prof. Husinann made some remarks on the subject, and among other things said that the blight was the great trouble, and that if it could be avoided pear culture would be im- mensely profitable. The speaker tnen read aletter from Mr. Addison Kelley, the well known wine manufacturer of Kel- ley’s Island, on the subject of blight, and in which he claims to have dis- covered a sovereign remedy. The following is an extract from Mr. Kelly’s letter: ‘*Make a wash of copperas, two to three gallons of water, putin a little quick or slaked lime. to color a little, wash the body and large limbs as high as convenient about the tirst of June in this locality (mid- dle of May in St. Louis, as seasens are earlier). Ifthe tree or limbs are already diseused, cut off the diseased part as far as the wood is diseolored, and havea celoth moistened with the wash on the limbs cut, Thisis the worst place for pear blight I ever saw, Whole orchards having been destroyed, I] have never lost a tree thus treated.’’ Mr. Murray said he had seen a rood deal of experience in pear- growing, and he was satistied that 1t Was not best to cultivate too much. He believed it best to plant pear orchards with blue grass. Mr. Karle, president of the Illinois State Hlorticultural Society, said he had not been successful in growing pears, that there were but a few varieties that would do well in his part of the country. Mr. Evans, the chairman, gaid he had been very successful—that ne hadhever lost a tree from blight. He had good crops of fruit. but he bad RY neighbor who had been entirely unsuccessful. Prof. Husmann said that while he was in the East last summer he found that the Bure Bose pear was becoming very popular. He bad found it one of the best varieties and he was giad to see it coming into notice. It was almost as highly flavored ae the Sickle pear. Mr. Stark-said he had not been very sue- cessful in pear growing, and that he knew but few who had made a} commercial success of it. Prof. Husmann remarked that the finest pears exhibited at the late horticultural meet- ing at Rochester, New York, were grown near St. Louis, and had been produced from stocks of white thorn. The @iscussion on pears here closed. Mr. Stark asked what time the next meet- ing would take place—if it was to be fixed by the Executive Con:mittee. The Chairman said that was with the socie- tv, and thata motion to set the time was in order, On motion of Prof. Husmann,the fixing of the time of the next meeting was left to the Ex- ecutive Committee. On a motion of Mr. Stark a standing Com- mittee on Fruits was appointed. The duty of the committee will be to examine and report on fruits which cannot be kept over for ex- amination at the annual meet- ings of the-. society. The Chairman ~ hegre Prof. Husmann, -Prof. Tracy and Mr. Stark as the committee. Messrs. Mur- ray. Raganand Spaulding were afterwards added to the committee. On motion of Mr. Murray the society A - | journey sine die. After adjournment the fruits and wines were turned over to whole, and for fully half an hour there was any amount of ‘sampling. ‘lhe members finally divided the remains among them, leaving something for the janitor. At noon the suciety went on ’Change, and was warmly welcomed by Presi- dent Smith. CELESTIAL CALISTHENICS. A Chinese Controversy in the Court of Criminal Correction—A Mixed-Up Cuse.
