New Developments in the De Youn Murder Case—Indian Depredations 15 New Mexico. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 30.—A San Francisco correspondent telegraphs coreerning the ar- raignment of I. M. Kulloch forthe murder of Charles De Young: We are about to enter upon a trial which promises to be one of the causes cblebres of the Pacific Coast, and the rest of the world may be pre- pared toread.of thavehement demonstration of bitter animosities already steeped in human gore with possibly more to follow. The tes- timony of Clemetshaw, who has been arrested for perjury, will be supported, it transpires, by that of a dozen others who will testify that De Young fired the first shot. Clemetshaw is an Englishman, forty-cight years old, had in early life been in the royal artillery and received an honorable discharge. He became acquainted with the Mormons in Woolwich in 1870, and married a Mormon. He lost his wife two years later. He commenced business in Salt Lake as a trunkmaker, and supplied Brigham Young’s great co-operative institution with ‘‘trunks enough to serve all the Saints till the millennium.” He had trouble with his second English wife and gave her a Mormen divorce, but lived with her two or three yeals. Finally last fall they had a final sepa- ration. His factory was burned and he was once more charged with robbing a young man’s trunk, and the Mormons de- gan to look down on him. Disaster followed disaster, and about the middle of December he left the City of Saints te zo to Europe. He went to San Francisco, where he remained under several names. The sixth shot cannot be found. Before the ex- amination of Clemetshaw takes place docu- ments from Salt Lake are promised show- ing his general unworthiness. INDIANS IN NEW MEXICO. A New Mexico correspondent, writmg from Martin’s Well on the Jamado dei Muerto, says the feeling of the people over the recent out- rage is red-hot {ad unless a speedy stop is put tothe mad career ofthe Indians they swear they will take matters in their own hands. At un indignation meeticg resolutions were adopt- ed declaring that for eight months past an un- provoked Indian war has been in progress. Nearly one hundred people had been slaugh- tered; whole counties been robbed. Their women and children are now in captivity, their flocks, and herds stolen and shot, their wagon trains burned and drivers killed, mails cap- tured and drivers’ heads mashed to jelly. That they are paralyzing the industries and stopping emigration, causing ranchmen to flee from their homes, miners to leave their mines and stock-raisers their grazing fields. Self- preservation will cause the people to step in and take the field against all odds. EMEGRANT ARRIVALS, Eighteen hundred new-comers to this country were provided with sleeping accom- modations on the floor of Castle Garden last gight, but the Super- intendent says he hopes to have all these and a greater portion of those emi- grants arriving to-day shipped for their des- tination inthe West before Sunday. Emi- grants now arriving are for the most part good, industrious farmers or skilled artisans; The former class are inthe most of cases already provided with railway tickets ta points in western states, while the latter generally accept work at their trade in any part of the country. Four steamers are expected to-morrow and it ie more than probable that next month the number ot arrivals will de increased probably to 50.000. The highest figure ever before reached was in April, 1873, when 43,216 immigrants were landed. The demand for female help at the Employment bureau is largely in excess of the supply and the manager is daily be- seiged by housekeepers anxious to procure help.“ He says he does not expect to have a sufficient jnumber of women to supply the demand before next August. ‘ A HORRIBLE FATE.

The Movement fora New Barge Line— Several Plans Being Discussed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. Kansas CITY, Mo., April 3).—I is ex- pected that Capt. E. W. Gould will be at the barge meeting on the evening of Saturday, May 8. There will be no barge meeting on to-morrow night. The sub- scription committee is preparing to make a thorough canvass. No subscriptions have thus far been taken, as the committee is not yet ready to receive. It is expected $75,000 will be raised by the committee, and the steamboats now interest- ed in the organization will raise $25,000. This will make up the $100,000 capital. The company will not buy any second- hand property, but will build a fleet of its own. An experienced man will superintend the building, and the greater part of the $75,000 will be raised in this city. Outside parties, however, will contrib- ute. Bos are te to the operation of the barges. One plan is to have three tow-boats and nine barges. It will take $100,000 to set afloat this fleet. Another scheme 1s to have one tow-boat and nine barges. Under this arrangement three barges could be loading at Kansas City, three more on the way down the river, and three more unload - ing at St. Louis. Three barges would be at each end of the route and one on the way all the time. A great saving would be effected by means of the second plan, but a slight disadvantage in the matter of delay might be incurred. Both plans will be discussed in the meeting. on the 8th. The Whittaker Investigation. WerEsT PorntT, N. X., April 30.—In the Whittaker inquiry case Hagen, expert, said: „ am prepared to testify that the handwrit- ing of the specimens numbered 8, 9 and 10 is the handwriting of the person who wrote the note and contents addressed to Cadet Whittaker. Replying to questions, Hagen stated that he had noticed some at- tempt to diguise in one other handwriting than that of the anonymous note—the handwriting in one of the sentences submitted him. He had asked for addifional specimens of this hand and found init one or two resemblances to the anonymous note, but not sufficient to warrant an opinion. Preparing for Grant in Springfield.

The Coal O Mines in e Bellevill Reduction of Wages to — The coal operators met in secret session at the Coal Exchange to-day aud some im- portant resolutions were adopted. It wW as expected that some communication would have been received from Gov. Cullom, of Iilf- nois, but in this the operators were disap- pointed. It is understood: that to- morrow most of the operators will close tneir mimes. Messra)Kaecht & Reinecke have already acquain their men with the fact that they — to-morrow.

The last time the miners struck they demanded and received four cents per bushel, and regulated the output per man at — bushels, fixing the working hours at t per day. The coal operators now’ end closing their mines, and wnen they — sume the men will have to work their prices. Itis@aid that the price will be reduced to three cents per bushel. This time the operators are prepared and will, most likely be able to carry out their plans. They have taken all dus precautions and are with unurual vigor and secrecy. It is much feared, however, that riots may ensue before ‘the ditticalty is finally settled, und the Belleville district is likely to witness 9 as the miners are certain to resist. A $1,000 VERDICT.

ALCOTT. * Interesting Information Concerning this Popular Writer. From the Boston Herald. Miss Louisa May Alcott, who is generally regarded as the most popular aud successful literary woman in America, did not at once jump into sudden fame, although the slo w- developing bud bloomed into full flower in a single night, as it were; but she spent some years of ner literary life in obscruity about as complete as any author ever knew. Her father, as is well-known, is the veaerable transcend- ental philosopher, Mr. A. Bronson Alcott, and he delights to call himself the father of little women.” Her mother belonged to the Mays, one of the old Boston families, and it is said that from that side Miss Alcott inherits the remarkable vivacity and energy that charac- terize her. Her parents were living in Ger- mantown, Penn., where her father was teach- ins school when she was born, but when she was two years old they returned to Boston and Mr. Alcott established a school in the old Masonic Temp!e,now the United States Court- house, on Tremont street. It was a famous institution in its day, but it became unpopular on aceount of Mr. Alcott refusing to turn away a little negro boy whom he had taken in, and 80, at the invitation of Mr. Emerson. Mr. Alcott went to Concord tolive. At this time Louisa was eight years old. After two years of Concord life, Mr. Alcott went to the town of Harvard and joined a farming community, one of the principles of which was abstinence from animal food. Miss Alcott has described this phase of her life in an amusiog sketch, called Transcendental Wild Oats.’’ Two years after, the family returned to Concord, and when Miss Alcott was nearly sixteen years old she came to Boston to teach. In this occupation she was very successful, and was much liked by her scholars. Some of these she now meets almost daily in the streets of Boston—staid professional and busi- ness men, with families of their own—and they always greet her with Hallo, Miss Ollie!“ just as they did when they were rosy- cheeked urchins, But Miss Alcott did not like teaching school, and from her childhood had always delighted in making up stories to tell to her companions; so she began to write them down, a task which she found very easy and pleasant, but at first it was pretty hard to — * money for them. This came about at ast, however, and she earned a very com- fortable living in tis way. She found it rather tedious work getting remittances from a New York publisher for whom she had Written a good deal, and when they came they were small. so she stopped sending in ber contributions. Her stories were appreciated and the publisher wrote to find out why she had stopped. Because she found it too hard work to get her money, she replied. He promised to make that all right, and she said nat whenever he wanted a story he might send on $100 and he would get his story by return mail. This arrangement proved satisfactory, and, as she kepta good stock of stories on baad, she was aole to re- spond promptiy. This kept on until the mat- ter leaked out, and the publisher found him- self in hot water, as other authors demanded similar terms, so that the arrangement had to be terminated. After Miss Alcott became famous this publisher wanted to get outa volume of the stories in question under her name, and the fear that it would be done haunted Miss Alcott for some while, but, juckily, he had made asolemn agreement with her at the time that her name should not be used, so she was spared the infliction under which Mrs. Burnet suffered atthe hands of a Philadelphia publisher when That Lass o° ‘Lowrie’s” had established her reputation. In the war, tke many other noble women, Miss Alcott volunteeied as a hospital nurse, and was assigned to one of the most unpleas- aut hospitals—one in Georgetown, near Wash- ington. After several months“ service the unhealthy surroundings told upon her vigor - ous constitution, and she had a severe attack of typhoid fever, trom the effects of which she has never full, recovered. Her ‘'Hospit- al Sketches,“ which came from this experi- ence, were the first things which called gener- al attentiontosher. They were letters writ- ten to the family at home. Mr. Moncure D. Conway was in Concord at the time, and was so interested by them that he asked leave to printthem, and, when Miss Alcott recover- ed from ber severe illness, the request was granted. Mr. Henry James, of Cambridge, the father of the novelist, told her that in these sketches was hertrue style. That was the first time, she said, that she had the faiat- est idea of style; her style was a natural com- mingling of humor and pathos. The first novel of Miss Alcott that appeared under her name was Moods,“ of which she tells the story in Little Women.” It was spoken of highly by Mr. Ticknor when he read it in the manuscript in its original form, but it was reconstructed at the request of Mr. Loring, who published it. After the great popular success of “Little Women,“ much attention was naturally attracted to it. It was written when Miss Alcott was 18 vears old. One day Mr. Alcott came to Mr. Niles, of Roberts Brothers, with a volume of fairy stories by his daughter. Mr. Niles said that collected short stogies hardly paid, and sug- ested that Miss Alcott write a story of New ingiand life; Miss Sedgwick had recently died, and perbaps she might be her successor. He wanted a story about girls, but Miss Al- cott said she knew nothing about girls; boys were her favorites. No, there were plenty of books for boys; Mr. Niles wanted a book for girls. Miss Alcott said she would write about herself a her sisters; tell about tbe things ey used to do. Mr. Niles told her to go ahead, and the result was the first part of Little Women.” He was pleased with the manuscript, and showed it to his young niece at the seashore, who went wuld wich delight over it. He offered Miss Al- cott $1,000 — for it, but told her she had better run the risk and take a royalty. A thousand dollars seemed a large sum to Miss Alcott at that time, and she had a narrow es- cape, but luckily she decided for the royalty, The success of the book was phenomenal, and the pfesses could not run fast enough to sup- ly the demand. Of course a second volume as called for, and letters poured in upon the author beseeching her to continue. the story. Many were from little girls, and ran like this: Miss Alcott: If you donot write another volume or Little Women, and tell us more about Jo, and make Laurie marry Beth, I will never read another of your books as long as I live. Yours, most respectfully, MAMIE BROWN. , So a second volume was written; this was followed by an An Old-fashioned Girl,“ and then came *‘Little Men. All of these had an immense sale, for everybody who had read one read the others. Miss Alcott’s published works number 18 volumes altogether, the united sale of which in America alone amounts inf round numbers to half a million. This does not include a novel which some insist has ap- peared in the NO Name Series.“ The de- mand for her books to-day is as great as ever.

She also wrote a romantic — j — the B ton Theater, in its Manager Barry for the 1 ater, coate aad U J days. The twoleading ladies uarreled so about * peeve in it that its production was ed. Miss Alcott took back the manuscript for revision, and, | finally concluding that it was nonsense, she threw it into the fire. When Mr. Barry sent for the play to put it in rehearsal, he was told that it was in ashes. But Miss Alcott regarded this play as a great success, nevertheless, for Mr. Barry sent her a season pass, good for two ot the best seats, and she went to the grand new theater forty times or more that winter, seeing all the fine attractions; so, when commiserated by afriend on having made. nothing out of ‘her play, she said she felt as ik she b made ber fortune by it. Miss Alcott once came very near going ontothe stage her- self, and had secretly made the arrangements for her first appearance, intending to surprise her friends by tbe triumphant announcement that she had acted, but ber scheme was frus- trated by their untimels§discovery of her pur- ose through a delay in carrying it out. The bistrionie talent is strong in her mother’s family, and she is a capital natural actress. She and her sisters, when children, had a lit - tle stage of their own at home, with elaborate scenery and appointments made by them- selves,and during the war she frequently took part in private performances at the little Tremont Theater for the benefit of the Sani- tary Commission. Miss Alcott, although spending much of her time in Concord, is more frequently in Boston, and prefers to call herself a Bostonian than to hail from the American seat of philosophy. Most of her work has been done here. The tirst part of Little Women” was written at the South Endandthe second part in the Bellevue Hotel, on Beacon street, her favorite quarters, where she generally occupies pleas- ant rooms high up, witn a wide view over the roofs and the harbor. She has no regular study and is indifferent to her surroundings while at work. writing-paper is immaterial to her, and she uses whatever is handiest atthe moment. She writes in a free, back-sloping hand and com- poses rapidly, never making a copy of her manuseript and rarely going back to change words or expressions. Cost of the Zulu War. From the New York World. | The Zulu war cost England the lives of 844 imperial troops, besidesthose of 542 volun- teers, irregulars and native auxiliaries. Ex- cept in the battle of Isandhlwana the loss was small, as after all was to be expected seeing that under ordinary circumstances the savages could have but very poor chances of obtaining a position where they could use effectively their pot-metal muskets and assegais. The unfortunate Twenty-fourth Regiment lost 613 men killed in action, while only twelve were wounded and one died in hospital—figures which tell eloquently of the savage slaughter of the battie-fied where the Zulus won the day. The Nineteenth Light lnfantry, a regimeut which was actively engaged throughout the whole eampaign and participated in the bust- ling actions of Ulundi and Kambula Kop, only lost nineteen men in action and had forty wounded. It sent home forty-five invalids and lost six men by disease. As it had just come out of the Transkei cam- paign the men were thoroughly seasoned. How different was the case of the third bat- talion of the Sixtieth Rifles, which only went through part of the campaign, but lost thirty- eight men through sickness and sent home 105 invalids, thus conspicuously proving the ut- ter unfliness ofthe boys who at present form such a large proportion of the rank and file of the British army. This same question of army reorganization will not be among the least important with which the second Glad- stone administration will find itself confront- ed. Theshort service and linked battalion system has fuiled, and the difficulty of in - ducing good non-commissioned officers to re- main in the army, a difficulty felt everywnere at hg is nowhere greater than in Eng- land. Heat on Building Stone. [From the New York Times. The powers of the various kinds of build- ing-stone to resist pressure and atmospheric influences are well known, but there scarcely ever occurs an extensive fire which dées not emphasize the need of better information as to the efiect of heat upon stone. This need Hiram A. Cutting, State Geologist of Ver- mont, has undertaken to supply by a series of experiments, the first result of which is to confirm and give exactness to the general im- pression that granite is a poor heat-reister, and the second to show that there is wide choice—even in granite—in this respect. He tested twenty-two specimens of the best- known quarries, and found that while all were unaffected by the 500° of heat, damage usually began at 600°, was serious and fre- quent at 800°, and at 1,000° all the specimens were ruined, the stone from Mount Desert Standing the test perhaps better than any other. Hegives itas his opinion that the effect of water on heated granite is rather apparent than real. The importance of this information is very great, especially to build- ers and insurers. In spite of tnese hints, this favorite stone will probably continue to be used in ‘‘tire-proof’’ buildings, and possibly without serious danger, if itis only used in very solid walls, but to use it in building n columns, especially within the wails, is only to invite the gutting of the whole interior of the building if a fire should break out.

The Rev. William Loge delivered an inter- esting new lecture in the Madison“ Aveaue Presbyterian Church, last evening, on 7. Haunted London.“ The lecture, whieh was illustrated with thirty-five excellent stereop- ticon views, was listened to with marked at- tention by as many persons as could crowd into the building. He who has once lived in the heart of the world,London,” Mr. Lioyd said, never sees another city which has for him so many and such enduring attractions. Even the almost constant haze of its atm s- phere has a charm. The fogs often create grand artistic effects as they curl over the river banks, and I bave seen the dome of St. Paul's clothed with a glittering haze and its golden cross flashing in the upper sunlight while the fogs curled around its base. If the ghosts 0 departed Londoners are walking through this obscuring mist, they are ti cent ghosts, for no city is haunted by the memories of so many eat men in every path of 3 as 18 ndon. Charles b beautifully said I have passed all my days in London, until I have formed as many and as intense local at- tachments as any of you mountaineers can bave done with dead nature. The lighted shops of the Strand and Fleet street, the in- numerable trades, tradesmen, customers, couches, Wagons and play- houses, all the bustle and witkedness about Covent Garden, the crowds, the very dirt and mud, the sun shining upon houses and pavements, the print-shops, the old-book stalls, coffee-houses, taverns‘ kitchens, pantomimes—London itself a panto- mime—all these things work themselves into my mind and feed me without a power of sa- tiating me.’ As to its antiquity, it is almost fabulous. With certainty, its existence ean be traced as far back as the time of Constan- tine the Great. More people now live in it than in the whole of Denmark or Switzerland, more than twice as many as in Saxony or Nor- way and almost as mafly as in all Scotland. One of Mother Shipton’s prophecies declares it will yet double its size, and ‘Highgate Hill, ncw a suburb, will become the center of the city. Almost all nationalities are represented init. Turn into Leicester square and Soho, and you will find French refugees, speaking their own tongue, sipping coffee in cafes, un- til you might imagine yourself in some part of Paris. Enter Hatton Garden, and you will find Italian artists in image-making, padrones and monkeys, Counts that are evidently of no account, the jabbering of their tongues and grinding of organs making a perfect Babel. The East of London has a large German colo- ny. Trades and professions are localized in the same way. Lawyers live in the Temple and Lincoln’s Inn, surgeons in George and Burlington streets, and retired East India merchants in Cavendish and Portman squares and adjoining streets, otherwise called ‘Little Bengal;’ book-sellers in Paternoster row, clock-makers in Clérkenwell, butchers in Smithfield, and so on. „What are the ghosts with which your London is haunted?’ is a question I have had put to me many times since the announce- ment of this lecture. mencement I do not propose telling grim and — stories of supernatural appearances, though London in its localities and historic personages is very rich in ghostly lore. The appearance in the Tower of a mysterious fig- ure, assuming different shapes, and appear- ing in different rooms of the gloomy fortress; the vision of an elephant, with a castle on his back, which appeared on London Bridge, and is perpetuated in a tavern, with the above for its sign; the table rappings of the cele- brated Cock-lane ghost, are but a few of the many marvelous stories of ghostly visitants with which London tradition abounds. But my ghosts are such as 1 may call up, by the power of Imagination, from tbeir historie graves. The forms I would make pass be- fore you ore the forms of aacient loyal pageants, of coroaations and funerals, ot glory and of gloom; the march of some fromthe throne to the prison, from courts to the block; the forms of Queens and knights, of poets, and patriots, and martyrs, the memory of whose lives and deeds lingers in the very atmosphere of that ancient city. Many atime have I walked down its streets, and wrought for myself wondrous transfor- mation scenes. Therush and noise of the present have to my mind vanished, and from out of old gabled windows I saw the faces of fair women and brave men looking, and gore geous psgeants ofthe glory of years agone The transformation was wrought for me by the power of association and imagination. A carved figure upon some almost crumbling wall, a half-legible inscription upongome old tombstone. was the open sesame; the door of the past flew open, and the dead, in their omp, their glory, their crimes, stepped out efore me.“ , EUGENE BAUNE. Sketch of a Famous French Republi- can, Patriot and Philosopher. | From the Boston Herald. 1 Eugene Baune, who died recently at Basle, Switzerland, in his 8ist year, had been all his life a most earnest, devoted Republican, had ever been in fullest sympathy with the people, and never swerved for a moment from his al- legiance to them, and to what he believed to be their best interests. He was that rarest of creatures, a consistent Frenchman, and a Frenchman, too, who from first to last had but one set of principles ani one kind of politics. Such a thing as demagogism, even in the mild- est type, Was unknown, yea, impossible, to bim. He was at once gentle and strong, a patri- ot and a philosopher; he was tender as a ten- der woman, and yet he could be, so far as he himself was concerned, the sternest of stoics. For fifty years or more he had battled for Re- publicanism; he had repeatedly been fined, imprisoned and exiled, but he bore all his persecutions and sufferings calmly, having no doubt of the ultimate triumph of the cause of Democracy. When the Republic had been es- tablished, he did not hasten to Paris to de- mand the reward of his long, hard service. He simply withdrew to private life, content that what he had so earnestly and courageous- ly struggled for had been achieved. Through many of his recent failures and misfortunes his young, faithful wife had followed him with her children. Sometimes she shared his cap- tivity; but when she could net do so, she was always near him, ready to comfort and succor him. The late George Sand took the deepest interest in Mme. Baune. She invited her on a certain evening to visit her. When madame entered her apartments she expected to have a pleasant talk with her gifted friend alone. To her surprise and confusion, she found an assembly of the most distinguished persons of the time. She was about to retire, when George Sand drew her the center ofthe company and said to it: Lou waste incense on one unworthy, if you really admire genius, here it is at my side—the genius of tenderness and devotion.” And,so speaking, she bent over and kissed the hand of the blushing wife, very shy in manner, despite the courage of ber great and loving heart.

Boston Special to the New York. Sun. On Friday or Saturday last Alice Meeker, aged eleven years, was murdered in Duxbury, Vt., and by the confession of her cousin, Lewis Almon Meeker, aged twenty years, the deed was done by him and his mother. Two ‘ears ago Alice’s father died, and she anda rother two years younger became, town paupers. Their uncle, H. C. Meeker, took Charge them, and has received from the town of Duxbury $500 for the care of them during their minority. The neighbors say that the orphans have been shamefully abused by all tbe members of the family. Last Thursday Alice — 14 but no particular attention was called to the fact unti Saturday. On the morning of that day the elder Meeker asked where Alice was. His wife said: „She's stepped out somewhere. The neighbors made inquiries and she told them that she had got out of her window at night and ran away. They asked if search should not be made, and Almon said, Let the c——d critter go; I will not search for her.“ The suspicions of the neighbors were aroused, and the continued absence of the irl caused the authorities on Monday to take old of the case. Deputy Sheriff Atherton questioned Lewis Almon Meeker very closely and learned that he had hired a team. This story Almon’s father contradicted. Young Meeker persisted that he had told the truth, but last evening Sheriff Atherton gave him a rigid examination, and he at last made a con- fession. He told the officer that he pur- chased strychnine at Bates’ drug store and -hired a team from a stable. ice and his mother walked on ahead toward Dux- bury. He overtook them and they got into the carriage. After they haa driven about two miles he mixed the strychnine with some sweetened water he had in a bottle and gave it to Aliceto drink. She swallowed it, and then they drove on slowly, waiting for the child to die. They had gone about four miles further when Alice died without any great appearance of pain. It was near midnight when this woman and her son took the child’s body out of the carriage and buried itina muck bed in a swamp. The officer made young Meeker go with him to the swamp, and after wading through the water for several rods the murderer said: There she is; and on removing a pile of stumps and old boards and reaching down into the soft swampy muck the poor child’s body was found. Young Meeker assisted the officer, and was com- pelled to hola the body in his arms during the ride to Waterbury. Lewis Almon and his mother have been arrested, and were ar- raigned this afternoon. They pleaded not guilty. The case was adjourned untj{ May 10. Almon now says that his mother was not with him when he killed the girl, and the mother denies all knowledge of the crime. An ex- cited crowd threatened to lynch the prisoners. Sticking to the Creed. From an English Magazine. | It is the fashion in Russia that whenever two people meet on Easter day they kiss each other on the mouth, and while one says “Christ is risen!’’ the other replies He is risen, indeed!’? Now it seems that the Em- peror Nicholas had so arranged it that the sentry placed atthe palace gate should be an Israelite, and avery pronounced one. Early in the morning Nicholas betook himself to the gate, and giving the soldier the Easter kiss said: Brother, Christ is risen!” The soldier’s bronzed face flushed, but bringing his musket at the salute, he replied resolutely: „No, father, he is not!” Upon this the Emperor pretended to get in- toa. furious passion, and in a loud voice re- peated. Christ is risen!““ The soldier trem- bled; he saw the knout lash dangling before his eyes, but the love of his faith was strong- er than his fear of punishment, and bringing his musket down with a crash, he cried: No, he is not!“ The Czar repected the man’s adherence to a credo, rewarded the soldier and left, lauhg- ing heartily over the adventure. | The English Executioner. [New York Special to Chicago Times.! Ano the visitors to the city prison to-day was William Marwood, of London, the official executioner of England. Marwood is a blonde, about thirty-five vears old, wearing a moustache and side whiskers in the approved English fashion, is mild-mannered, aad the last man in the world to be taken for a pub- lic hangman. He was conducted through the prison and introduced to the more prominent prisoners. He conversed freely with Chas- tine Cox and Pietro Balbo, the convicted murderers now under sentence of death, but they were ignorant of his identity. He then asked to be shown the gallows and system of weights used in executions, examined them earefully, and pronounced the American sys- tem of jerking criminals up inthe air far in- ferior and less humane than the English meth- od. Marwood said the American system, in a great proportion of cases, would result in slow strangulation, ia addition to affording the spectators the sickening spectacle of the dying man’s struggles. By the English sys- tem of the drop,“ where the trap is suddenly sprung from under the feet of the criminal, the sudden fall, if the noose be properly ad- justed, almost invariably breaks the prisoner’s neck. The Coming Catastrophe, [From the New York Sun. | Thetheory was advanced some time ago by an English astronomer that, owing to peculiar solarand lunar action, the earth and moon must eventually come into collision. This theory was opposed by some of the most learn- ed scientific men, who urged that, owing to the position ofthe tidal wave, the moon is drawn not exactly in the direction of the earth’s center of gravity, but a little to the east of that center, and that in consequence sbe is made to recede from the earth, her orbit is enlarged, and her angular motion diminish- ed. The partisans of the collision theory re- ply that this does not prevent the consumption the eommon center of gravity, although, toa certain extent at least, it must prevent this consumption from diminishing the moon's dis- tance and increasing her angular motion. As this consumption of vis viva will go on through intinite ages, ifthe presentorder of things remein unchanged, the earth and the moon must ultimately come together, with results wee the imagination can only faintly con- ceive. ; Vanderbilt Off for Europe.

SICK NOBILITY. The Three Distinguished Invalids of Europe. [Paris Cor. New York Herald. 19 The Berlin correspondent of the Herald telegraphs as follows: The Prussian Court is in reguiar daily receipt of news in regard to the condition of the health of thethree dis- tinguished invalids who are at grossing the attention of ali Russia. The first of these is the Empress, who is kept alive only by the use of oxygenand ether, and who, when she is not slumbering, is. continually saying to those around her, How happy must be the people who enjoy good health!“ Her frame has been reduced to a mere skele- ton, her limbs, and more especially the lower portions of the body, being simply skin and bone. AN UNHAPPY MONARCH. „The second illustrious invalid is Prince Gortschakoff, the first cause of whose illness After him, in the relative gravity of his case,comes the Em- peror, and it is on him that the attention of the German Court is specially concentrated. Although he is able to move about and cannot be said to be exactly in the hands of the doctors. he is, according to the Emperor Will- iam, the sickest of the three. The folfowing facts concerning him have been communicaced to me by a friend Who has access to the Court circles, It is well known, says my informant, that the Emperor Alexander is in such a state of prostration that he is almost incapable of transacting any business. He is crushed by terror, and for several days after the attempt upon his Jife at the Winter Palace he did not quit his apartments. In order, however, to keep his habit of a daily walk after breakfast he had the upper squares of the windows of a sort of salon opened. In this purified atmos- here, wrapped in his cloak, he walked brisk- yup and down for exercise. Now, escorted by eight Cossacks, preceded and surrounded by numerous vehicles in which police agents are seated, he drives to the residence of his son, the Czarowitz, whose garden serves him for a promenade. There he walks about attended by his faithful chasseur and followed by three of his favorite dogs. has long been inthe habit of accompanying him in his sporting expeditions, but up to the present time his services have not been re- quired in any other capacity. The Czar now keeps him constantly with him, because he is suspicious of the whole of his entourage, and he never quits his presence. Even darkness brings no relief. The Czar’s nights are sleep- less, and it is then that his feeling of disquie- tude is most intense. At the slightest noise he starts from bed and summons his attend- ants. GERMAN ESTIMATE OF THE CZAROWITZ. All this is asource of the greatest anxiety tothe members of the Imperial family of Prussia. The Prussians are too provident and long-sighted not to have taken the meas- ure of the Czarowitz, and the estimate which they have formed of him is anything but a flat- tering one. They say that he is narrow-miad- ed and indifferent, although well behaved and religiously disposed—in fact, a sort of Louis XVI. on a larger scale. This is not promising for the political progress of Russia us P with that of the other European nations. A FRENCH JESSE POMEROY. — —— — — A Boy of Fifteen Sent to Prison for Twelve Years for Killing a Child. [From the Paris Figaro. | „ The Assize Court of Aude has recently been occupied in trving a lad of fifteen for the murder of a child four years of age. The crime was committed on October 12, 1879. On the afternoon of that day the little Adrien Saucey, son of a railway officer living at Quilian, Aude, left his father’s house to go and play, with some neighbors’ children, and he never returned. Anxious at the non-ap- pearance cf the child, the parents caused a search to be instituted and inquiries to be made in all directions. The search was continued all the evening, through the night and all the following day. At last on Monday, October 13, at night, a widow named Bosquet discovered the little shoe of the child in an outhouse close to her vineyard. The out- house was at once examined by thé police. Near the entrance on the ground were found large spots of blood badly covered up witha. layer of sulphur. The body of the murdered boy was found in a ditch close by, half hidden by vine branches. e f J he corpse was naked, except for the little socks, the face covered with*. blood and dis- figured by great gaping wounds; the skull was broken, and the body had been horribly mu- tilated. Two peasants gave evidence which led to the discovery of the assassin, They had seen the child Adrien in company with an idiot brother, seven years old, on Sunday evening about 5 o’elock. Another boy was talking to them, and this lad turned out to be Engene Radoude, the sonof a brakeman. Eugene at first strenuously denied having seen the two brothers Saucey, but eventually, after two women had positively stated that — recognized him as the lad they had seen with Adrien in his arms on the Suaday even- ing in a path leading to the out- house, he made 4 full confession of the crime. He stated that after walking ashort distance with the brothers he sent the elder one home, and tak- him into the hut. Here he threw the child violently on the nid, the head coming in contact with a large stone. Ra- doude then put his foot on the body of his young companion, and with a hatchet gave him successively four terrible blows on the face and head, He then removed the clothes, and mutilated the body of the unfortunate little fellow in the most frightful manner. He next took aspade from the hut and commenced to dig a grave, but he did not dig it very deep, being afraid ot a surprise. He placed the dead child in it, covered it with vine branches, and walked q ly back to OQulllan. Radoude had long 82 this crime, the motive for which isutterly unaccountable.

Some New Notlons in Bridesmai Wedding Favors and Bridal Toilets. From the Loudon Truth, April 15. At the marriage of Miss Beatrice Quai, daughter of the well-known Dr. Quain, ü Mr. George Rose, the eight bridesmaids Were | the hats, which were of the same material a the dresses, and each carried a very larga bouquet of the same flowers. The brid:’, dress was white satin, with along, square tram, and had no trimming but a large bunch of orange bloss on the front of the skirt and another om the side of the bodice, The plain tulle veil, which fell to the ground op ull sides, Was fastened with diamond Pins, which form part of the set givem by her mother. | At the marriage of Miss Helen Houldsworth, eldest daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Houldsworth, of Coltness, with Sir Robert Lighton, Bart., of Brockbampton, Herefordshire, St. Mary Ab- bott’s, Kensington, was most profusely and ＋ 7 decorated with White flowers, all of which were gent up from Coltness. T bride’s dress was white duchesse a | trimmed with old lace. Her veil was of tulle, fastened on with diamond stars. The orange blossoms whieh formed — were very — cee monds. The eight bridesmaids wore pink sik brocde dresses, the skirts being trimmed with sof muslin and lace of a creamy tint, and their hats were of cream lace with pink azealeas. They carried beautiful bouquets of white and pink flowers and, as has been frequently the case lately, real flowers were given to the guests instead of-the artificial acorns’ and orange blossoms of which the wedding favors have e0 long consisted. On the occasion of this pretty, flower-decked wedding the flow- ers were all white—lilies of the valley, gardenias and camellias. On the same day, at St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, Miss Evelyn Hay, eldest daughter of Colonel the Hon. C es and Mrs. Hay, was married to Sir rt Drummond Monereiffe, Bart. (Scots Guards}. The bride wore ivory duchess satin, with veil and flounces of Brus- sels lace, the former being fastened on with diamond stars, the of the Earl of Dudley, the bridegroom’s brother-in-law. Four of the bridesmaids were grown-up and four were children, among them Lady Edith Ward, | who has inherited much of her mother’s loveliness. The dresses were pale blue silk and cashmere, with Louis Treize jackets of breche, in which gray was the predominant eolor. The elder bridesmaids wore blue vel- vet toques, the children blue Rubens hats with feathers. Each carried a bunch of lilies of the valley and mignonette. The Countess of Dudley wore an exquisite dress of silver gray satin, with small, close bonnet of the same. and a.cape of silvery net-work with deep, banging fringe, and tied on with a large knot of white satin ribbon. The Marchionegs of Abergavenny wore dark olive velvet. The bride’s mother wore pale mauve satin with heliotrope velvet and Brussels lace. At the marriage of Miss Hugan to Major Houghton, late of the Ninety-sixth Regiment, at St. Paul’s, Knightsbridge, the bride, whose mother was a daughter of the late Duke of John Manners and Lady Brydges Henner, wore a dress of cream-colored satin richiy trimmed with Brussels lace. The six brides- maids were all children, and were prettily dressed in Pompadour style, with mob-caps and muslin fichus. ‘The skirts of the dresses were sky-blue and the paniers flowered cream-colored sateen. They each carried a basket of spring flowers. The bride was given away by her biother-in-law, Lord John Mau- ners. Lady John Manners wore a dress of a Brussels lace. Among the prettiest of the dresses was that of Lady Riddell, dark-blue velvet with cream-colored satin gathered down the front, with fine lace fastened on with gold braid; and that of Mrs. Graham Hutch- inson, of ruby velyet with sleeves puffed on the shoulder. Cascades of old lace were ar- rapged on the shoulder. The hat was also of ruby velvet. — — — — Pacific Coast Homes. | From the Salt Lake Tribune. | The saddest phase of this coast—probably of all gold and silver mining regions—is the ab- sence of homes. We mean real homes, Whose founder laid the first hearthstone and made the tirst clearing with the thought that on that spot he was to do his life's work, and there at last, amid familiar scenes, sink into that sleep thatisfinal. The absence of this disposition has made nomads of the men of is coast. Asa rule, the farmhouses of Uali- fornia and their surroundings are a perpetual sign For sale.“ On many of these farms men and their families have lived for a quar- ter of a centurg,and still it has never been nome inany rightful sense of the word. There has never been a time that the husband and father has not intended to sell out in the course of a few months, and never a time that the family bas not hoped that he would. — — — — Shoes for Arctic Explorers. From fhe New York Dunes. 24th. | A Philadelphia shoemaker is to make fifty pairs of shoes at $12 a pair for the men who are to accompany Capt. Howgate on his polar expedition. Each pair weighs from four aod a balf to five pounds. The breadth of sole is four and three-eightbs inches, and of the hee! three and three ths inches; the thickness of the sole is three-fourths of an inch. Be- tween the inner and outer sole athick layer of cork is placed to prevent dampness penetrat- ing. The shoes are wade of beaver cloth, and lined all through with lambskin with wool upou it. Between the cloth and lamb skia pieces of bladder are piaced to insure dryness to the feet. The shoes are made extra large in order to permit the wearing of several pairs of stockings. — — , Thieving School Girls. From the Cintinnat! Times.

A Complicated Job Nicely Figured | Out. From Yesterday’s Times. The State Central Committee made the following provision as to representation at Moberly: a „The basis. of representation will be three delegates for each representative district and one for every 500 votes, or fraction of 250 iu excess thereof, cast therein at the last presi- dential election for the Democratic candidate for President, except in the eity and county of st. Louis, ia which there shall be three dele- gates for each representative and one for every £00 votes, or fraction of 250 in excess thereof. cast in each representative district inthe said city and county of St. Louis at tue general election in 1878 for the Demo- e:atic candidate for Jude of the Supreme Court.“ It is the immemorial custom when in State convention assembled forthe delegates from each Congressional district to nominate its representative in the National Convention. But some delegates from St. Louis.to Moberly —under the above provision—would represent a constituency living in two Congressional districts. Toavoid this anomaly, the execu- tive committee of the city may provide a plan of action. In this behalf, the following sug- gestions are made: This ratio gives us thirty-three deiegates in the representative districts of the city for the 16,583 votes cast at the last general election. In addition to this, each representative dis- trict is allowed three delegates for each mem- per of the Legislature to which it is entitled, which gives us forty-five additional delegates, making our total representation in the Mober- jy convention consist of seventy-eight dele- gates. These must be equitably divided not nly according to Legislative, but also, as near as may be, according to Congressional districts, as it is by Congressional and not Legislative districts they will be called upon to name the delegates to the National Convention. The First Representative Dit riet cast, in 1878, 3,845 votes for Judge Norton, which en- titles it (according to the ruling of the State Central Committee) to eight delegates for its voting strength. It has four members of the Legislature, which entitles it to twelve addi- tional delegates, or twenty in all. Now part of this district is in the First and part of it in ne Second Congressional District, as will be found in the tables below. To facilitate the selection of delegates it is proposedto base the representation of the wards in this district, not upon the ratio fixed by the State Central Committee of one dele- gate for each 500 votes, but upon the ratio of one delegate for each one-twentieth of the vote of the district, or, in other words, as the district is entitled to twenty delegates for its 3,¢45 votes, it is proposed to allow each ward in the district one delegate for each 192 votes cast in 1878, and one additional delegate for each fractional part thereof exceeding ninety- six. This plan, if adopted, will work well, as the tables below will prove to those inter- ested. The Second and Third Representative Dis- tiicts may be justly apportioned bv the rules of the State Central Committee. as each dis- trict is entitied to four members of the Legis- lature, and, there being four wards in each district, each ward should be entitled to three delegates for its representative and as many additional delegates as its vote for Norton al- lows it. But forthe sake of making the ta- bles complete, we have inserted both districts in the column below. The Fourth Representative District cast 4,- (% votes for Norton in 1878, entitling it to eight delegates for its voting strength. It has three members of the Legislature. which entitles it to nine additional delegates, or sev- enteen in all. Like the First Representative District, it is also divided by Congressional lines, and it is necessary here. as well asin the First District, to apportion the delegates to their respective Conyressional districts. The plan proposed to do this is identical with the one proposed for the First-District, but the ratio is larger, being one delegate for each 240 votes (or seventeen delegates for 4,095 votes) and one additional for each fraction thereof in excess of 120. The suggestiogs, if adopted, will give each ward at least one delegate, with the exception of the Twenty-fifth Ward, which will cast only twenty-one yotes, and which may be added to the Twenty-second Ward, which is just east of it.

Reviewirg the above figures we first find 40 votes belonging to the Third Ward cast in the First Congressional District This amount being too small to allow a delegate for, the precinct in which said votes were cast (Pre- cinct 66) may be thrown in with the Fifth Ward, which adjoins it on the south, and the combined votes of which would be 642, for Which number they receive 3 delegates. We next find the Fifteenth Ward has 208 votes in the First Congressional District, aad 403 in the Second. According to the ratio adopted inthe First Representative District, this would entitle them to 1 delegate in the First Congressienal District and 2 in the Second. — The next in order is the Nineteenth’ Ward. Which is credited with 77 votes in the First Congressional District and 152 in the Second. 11 The number ot votes in the First Distriet (77) being less than half the number required for each delegate, does not entitle it to a delegate in that District, but they may be added to the Twenty-first adjoining, which has 121 votes, making the jofitt vote 198. 78 The Twenty-sixth Ward has 160 votes in the Second District and one only in the First. This is too small to talk about, so we will pass it and take up the next and last, which is the Twenty-eighth. This ward has. 151 votes in the Second Congressional. District and 210 in the Third, which, according to the ratio adopted in the Fourth Representative District, entitles it to one delegate in each Congres- siona) district. In submitting this plan to the Democracy of St. Louis, we do so for the purpose of bring- ing the matter more prominently before the public for legitimate discussion. We do not claim that this is the only plan that can be devised, but offer it to members of the party for their careful consideration. 3 Accidents. ö Seventeenth street, and employed at the Park Mills, corner of Thirteenth and Market streets, fell down a flight of stairs yesterday, at the first- named lovality, and sustained a severe sprain of the right hip. Mike Ryan, a oy eleven years old, living with his parents at No. 1509 Gay street, was knocked down and.run over by a horse at- tached 60 a spring wagon, yesterday evening, on the corner of Fifteenth and Franklin avenue. The boy was not severely injured. TLe driver of the animal is not Known to the police. Local Fires. This morning at 9 o’clock an alarm of fire was turned on from box 356 caused by the burning of an unorcupied stable at 3001 La- fayette avenue. The structure was entirely destroyed, entailinga loss of some $200 on the owner, E. O. Filley. The cause of the fireisunknown. The barn of A, Nederhut adjoining the destroyed stable was damaged to the extent of $50. The residence of Wm. Lannigan, in the rear of No. 923 North Sixth street, was slight- ly damaged by fire yesterday. The fire was caused by sparks from an adjoining chimney. Fell From a Ladder. Last night Henry Rabemen, a workman at the Cherokee Brewery, on Cherokee, between Iowa and Ohio streets, fell from a ladder and sustained dangerous and severe injuries. He was engaged in some work at the brewery at the time of the accident, and had occasion to employ aladder. While thus engaged he fell from the ladder through the cellar door to the ground floor, a distance of some thirty feet. He struck his head against some object in his fall and sustained a very severe, if not fatal, cut in the forehead. The wounded man is at- tended by Dr. Atkinson. Attempted Burglary. Atanearly hour this morning an attempt was made toenter the shoe store of Johh Bremer, No. 610 Chestnut street. The noise made by the burglars in effecting an entrance awakened the proprietor,who came down from the second story,where he resides, and fright- ned the robbers away. The thieves had not gained access to the store when frightened away, and in their flight they left behind them an guger which was sticking in the door. Thrown From a Wagon. Yesterday afternoon a horse attached to a light spring wagon belonging to John Fairley, grocer, No. 820 Franklin avenue, took fright and ran away. The animal made down Frank- jin avenue, and when in front of Plant’s Mill, collided with a wagon belonging to the mill. The driver of the grocery Wagon was tnrown out into the street and received some very severe cuts and bruises. The mules attached to the mill wagon were also slightly injured by the collision. Sneak Thieves. Yesterday afternoon two sneak thieves en- tered the residence of John C. Brockmire,No. 2807 Arsenal street, during the temporary ab- sence of the family, and secured $255 in money besides afew other articles. Officer O'Donnell arrested Peter Wilson, a crippled shoemaker, on suspicion, while Wilson’s part- ner made good his escape. A charge of bur- glary and larceny was preferred against Wil- son, and it is thought that there is a sure case against him.

Several of the Mines in the Belleville District About to Close. The prospects of a serious trouble between the coal operators and the miners inthe Belleville district are becoming more defined each day. Both operators and workmen are exceedingly reticent on the subject, neither making known their determinations to any but those immediately interested. It was rumored to-day that at the regular secret monthly meeting of the executive com- mittee of the miners, held last Wednesday at Traubel's Hall, East St. Louis, a resolution was adopted infprming the mine opefators that the miners had become con- vinced the present figure asked for digging, viz.: fous cents per bushel, was not justified by the condition of the markt, and that they would willingly submit to a redue- tion to three cents. It is useless now for THE OPERATIVES : to make overtures to the mine owners, for they are determined to avail themselves of the opportunity that has presented itself to free themselves from the power of the Miners’ Association, which has really been ruling the capital in the district for some time past, and to do this they have deeided upon introducing the mining mniachinery, which will Jessen the number of men required for each mine. Several of the mine owners con- templated this improvement some weeks ayo, but it was left for the Donk Brothers, who are wery heavy operators, to try the experiment. About two weeks ago the machinery was put in the mines and the result has already been published. Within a few days several of the mines in the district will be tlosed, itis said, for the introduction of the mining machinery. Heinrichs’ mines at Heinrichs Station were closed a day or two ago. Miners mare application for werk and were informed that none were required. They insisted that they would go to work and at once went down the shaft forthat purpose: An order was given to have ev with them — tn sag ) Curt Retmeke.” and the mine ac: Brant 5 * man in the mine come up aod. berger, the last nam dave notified their med of West Belleville, Bit e several other mines an betore xt Monde wil follow the exam le.

SEDALIA, MO. Death of a Young Merchant—A Do- mestic Sensution—Money for Marsh- field. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SEDALIA, Mo., April 20.—The funeral of George Hardcastle, a prominent young mer- chant of Sedalia, occurred yesterday. It was largely attended,and the Sedalia Rifles, of which organization he was a member, attend- ed the procession, and escorted the remaius to the depot last night. His remains will arrive in St. Louis to-day, where he was born and raised, and will be buried in the Bellefontaine Cemetery. An incident transpired in Holden last week which creates a sensation there. A Mrs. Head formerly lived in North Missouri, and her husband was sent tothe Penitentiary for ob- taining goods under false pretenses, for two years. She was sent home to Arkansas. This occurred four years ago. About three years ago she took up with one George Miller,moved to Mount Hope, near Holden, and they lived togetber as man and wife. Miller was arrest- ed for horse-stealing and sentup fortwo years. Mrs. Head then moved to Holden and married Harry Caston, a painter, without having a divorce from Head. Last week Head appeared in Holden and created a sen- sation. He and Caston compromised, and Head left his wife and three children and dis- appeared. Mrs. Vreeland and her three children ar- rived in Sedalia yesterday from Brownsville. She ran off from her husband on account of brutal treatment, and heis now searching for her in vain. At a public meeting last night the citizens raised $177 for Marshfield sufferers. This is only the beginning. One Charles Sutton at Kingsbury, thirty miles west of Sedalia, beat the face of a store-keeper named Bradley into almost 2 jelly esday. He was arrested and released — $00 bond Yesterday Bradley was ex- pected to die, and Sutton was rearrested to- day to await Bradley's death. The State Sportsmen’s Association.

Owen Finnegan leit Tuesday night for his home in Mobilb,Ala., but expects to return iu about three weeks to perfect arrangements for his proposed Mem- phis and Helena packet line. The Ledger throws coid water on the project. saying that it will redound to the advantage of Helena but injure Memphis. By what coarse ot reasoning this conclusion is reacbed does not appear. MEMPHIS Appeal: ‘‘Helena, not satisfie! with being the head of navigation on the Mis- sissippi River, contemplates the conversion of the present site of Memphis into a productive cotton-patch. She has the capital and energy necessary for the accomplishment of the work, und has commencedꝭ it by promising backing to a river enterprise intended as the entering wedge to a complete monopoly of the commerce. of the Lower Mississippi. THE stave business is one of considerable importance to Arkansas. A large number ot barges loaded with sthves have already passed down White River forthe New Orleans mar- ket, trom which point they are shipped to Europe.

He tried pumping with allthe Eckert’s pumps and she did not come. Then he sent for more pumps und putting all together pumped again and she came. The first failure wonld have been enovgbto ciscourage an ordinary man, but Capt. Dugan isn’t one of that kind. We thought, trom what little we could hear of the boat, that she was 4 most complete wreck, aud the most that could be doue would be to pick her bones. She is a good steumboat when afloat, however.

THE delegates from New England are largely for Bayard. TWO-THIRDS of the Pennsylvania delega- tion are positively against Tilden, but divided between Bayard and Hancock. Tur New York stock market is in a decid- edly feverish condition. There is some danger of a storm, and people who can’t swim would do well to cast about for high and dry spots. Mr. SPRINGER is now being vindicated . ata cost of $250 a day, and yet there isn’t a man in the country who suspects him of corrupt conductin the Washburn-Donnelly case. The great men are fond of a little advertising at public expense. Tux painful rumor in circulation in the city yesterday to the effect that Ex-Mayor Brown and his party of explorers in New Mexico had been slain by Indians has been set at rest by a dispatch from Las Vegas. The pioneers were safe at last accounts. CONTRARY to general expectation the Republicans of the small State of Maryland are instructing for Blaine. It is evident that the Baltimore Custom-house is losing its grip, for Sherman classed Maryland some time ago among his cock-sure States. BLAlNE's success in securing California is attributed to his plumed knight demon- stration in Congress against the Chinese. if Grant wants to make a sure thing of II- Unols he should write a few more touching Attributes to the memory of Abraham Lin- oln and make a public speech violently de- ‘mouncing the man who first introduced Norway oats into the State. As was very generally anticipated, the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons has recom- mended that Kemble and his companions in bribery’ be relieved of the unpleasant duty of serving the State in the peniten- tlary. Such influential Republicans are needed on the outside and Mr. Cameron can't lose their services in this crisis mere- ly to advance a great moral spectacle. | It is given out that the officers of the U. 8. relief ship Constellation are going to attend a ball at the Mansion House, Dublin. These gentlemen are doing rather more dancing and feasting than the oorasion de- “mands. They were sent to Ireland to con- vey food to people who are being starved 4 by England's cruel and rapacious system ot una. holdlvg. It may be courtesy to 4 20 authority over a portion and eat with the supporters of a system : which has made Ireland an alms- house, but it would be well not to carry the festivities | to excess, , ; | a md We learn from the Ohio Republicans: in convention assembled that John Sherman has been “trained from the beginning of his public life in the advocacy of the rights of man.“ This is rather comforting. A supposition has prevailed for several years that John’s principal training lay in the di- rection of forcing private investments to yield about fifteen per cent. Bor is it true that Mr. Tilden cannot carry nis own State? He never failed to carry it when he made the effort.—[Republican. How about last fall? Did not the Repub- lican frequently predict that Robinson was sure to be elected—that Mr. Tilden, made the greatest and ablest effort of his life to elect him? Was not Robinson’s defeat clear- ly and solely due to the one fact that he was a friend of Tilden’s? A WASHINGTON dispatch says that Sena- tor Bayard is interesting himself to have Sergeant-at-Arms Bright removed from his position, and that the days of the Indiana statesman are numbered. We can hardly believe that the Senate will pause at this important stage of the session to wrangle overa small matter of this kind. The Democratic party has been guilty of enough confessions of incapacity in the selection of its petty officials around the Capitol. As to the assertion that Mr. Tilden could not be electedif he were nominated, it is equally unreasonable. He was elected in 1876—why should he not be elected in 1880? —[{Republican. Simply because a Republican Governor, Republican State officials and a two-thirds Republican Legislature are—thanks.to Mr. Tilden—in Albany, where four years ago Democrats sat. Simply because four years ago there was but one Democratic party in New York. Now there are two, and Mr. Tilden is the only human being upon whom they cannot be united. MR. TILDEN is the most popular and influ- ential Democrat and the most popular and influential public man that has figured in the politics of New York for thirty years. He has done nothing to impair his power. [Re- publican. Mr. Tilden has a strange way of showing his influence and power, for he has made the Legislature Republican by a two-thirds majority and allowed the Governorship and every other State office of importance to be filled by Grant Republicans. His „power“ seems to be great—but for the benefit of the Republicans only. | — THE surviving members of the Green- back party of Indiana met at Indianapolis, yesterday, nominated a State ticket and appointed delegates to the National Con- vention to be held shortly in Chicago. Among the latter were two women—Mrs. Dr. Mary L. Thomas, of Richmond, and Mrs. Dr. Haggerty, of Indianapolis. In order to make anything like a showing the party in Indiana is now compelled to take inthe women. They are not voters, it is true, but it is better to enroll them than to attempt to fillup the depleted ranks with children. 0 SoME idea of the strength of the army which is fighting the Hurd anti-Canadian railway bill may be gathered from the fact that for years parties have been in Wash- ington trying to get the Government to adopt a new style of lock for the bonded cars running from New York to the West. The smugglers have been able to defeat all projects of this kind, and the Government uses to this day a lock on the bonded rail- way cars which affords no more protection against thieves than a wooden peg. course the land pirates are up and in arms against a measure which promises to break vp their business. , — ee + CAN’T something be done to make the anti-dust boom a success? The sum sub- scribed now is something over half the amount required to keep the drive to the Park sprinkled for six months. A little exertion on the part of lovers of carriage- riding and horseback exercise would insure the success of the movement. A committee should be organized to solicit additional subscriptions. Wehave done our part of the work and without another week of ter- rible dust it is hot likely that we can raise much more. Where are the active gentle- men who are willing to take hold of our good beginning and carry it through to success? ONE of the saddest things connected with the confinement of Denis Kearney in the San Francisco Work-house is the dem- onstration in connection therewith of his complete lack of knowledge touching the common rules of social economy. Only a few days -before his matriculation he had his hair cut in a barber shop at a cost of twenty-five cents. If he had been a man of clear judgment he would have known that by waiting a short time the city would cut his hair for nothing. When the tonsorial professor in the Work-house removed the remains of his hirsute appendage he realized- how foolishly he had thrown his money away. Ee Ir is true Johan Kelly, a local politician in the metropolis, is hostile to bim, and Kelly’s of the Democratic * Of vote enabled him to defeat Gov. Robinson last year. But Tilden and Robinson are both stronger in New York to-day than they were in 1879, and it the race of that year were to be run over again, Robinson would be elect- ed inspite of the Kelly defection.—{Repub- lican. « , Cs | 4 Why utter such preposterous falsehoods when Senator Jacobs, the chairman of Mr. Télden’s own convention and a delegate to Cincinnati, has already publicly declared that Mr. Tilden’s own best friends are ready to leave him, because they realize the utter hopelessness of his candidacy? Why does not the Republican print the speech of Senator Jacobs? TILDEN was never beaten in New York. He carried it over Gen. Dix, the ablest and most popular Republican in the State, in 1874; his influenee enabled nis friend, Lucius Robin- son, to carry it in 1876, and he carried it in the Presidential election of 1876.—[Republi- can. : Mr. Tilden was never beaten as long as he received the support of Tammany and the party was united. But the very mo- ment he split the party he lost the State, as Mr. Robinson will testify. In fact, Mr. Tilden’s majorities, when he did carry the State, were furnished by the great city and Tammany Hall, the support of which he has no possible chance ever again to receive. A PHILOSOPHIC gentleman inveighs through a morning paper against the em- ployment of the gallows in the destruction of criminals. He holds that the gallows is an implement of torture. This is true, but it must be remembered that most of the agencies employed by murderers for cur- tailing human life are but implements of torture. The axe and the club are favorite instruments, and nobody wifl claim that they are either skillfully or humanely used. The knife inthe hands of an amateur 1s capable of imparting an agonizing death. Until the murderers improve their methods it is hardly worth while to soften the asper- ities of the Christian gallows. THE colored men and brethren of Mis- souri have at last penetrated the thin dis- guise of Republican friendship, and strenu- ously insist on recognition during the present campaign. The last kick comes from Hannibal, where the colored voters were completely ignored in the ward nomi- nations and where a serious bolt is threat- ened. That the aggrieved element is not likely to get redress within their party lines is clear from the following defiant declara- tion in the Courier, the Republican organ in Hannibal: We cannot plead and beg tor the votes of men whoowe all that they have and all that they are to the great Republican party. Neither can we sacrifice any ofthe time-hon- ored and well-recognized principles of majori- ty rule forthe pacification of a factious min- ority. If the colored people have made up their minds to withdraw their allegiance from our Party whether or no, we must let them go, and retain our self-respect. We think we are authorized to say that dissatisfied colored men will be permitted to vote the Democratic ticket in this State on easy terms. We can’t promise any of- fices but the votes will be counted. — — Wirn the approach of warm weather some of the sensational newspapers are re- newing their crusades against ice-water— that fell-destroyer of the human family and special delight of the mercenary undertak- er. The fact that the price of ice will be unusually high this summer causes lovers of the race to look forward to the prolonga- tion of many valuable lives. Ice-water is the most destructive agent that the teeth encounter. By its immoderate use the temperature of the stomach is lowered with suddenness, and the flow of gastric juice is checked. As a promoter of indigagtion it is said to be superior to salt pork, hot bread, hard boiled eggs and cabbage. No person addicted to the use of it in hot weather can assimilate food properly. Ice- water drinkers have a flabby and unripe look, which can only be compared to the potato vine which sprouts in a dark cellar. Ice-water is an abomination, and those who desire that their days may be long in the land should shun it as the death which stalketh. This will be a good season to commence shunning. All remarks touch- ing the undesirability of ice-water in the stomach are applicable to that other satan- ic beverage known as iced tea. — — — — — —— — TILDEN’S popular vote in 1876 surpased that ever given for a candidate in the history of the country. It was 266, 000 greater than that of Hayes; it was 700, 000 greater than that ot Grant in 1872; and it was 1,287,000 greater — — — | than that of Grant in 1868. Is it not setting all the recognized rules and facts of our politics at naught to assert that the man who did these things four years ago, and stronger now than he was then, should not be nominated be- cause his nomination would jeopard the suc- cess of the party ’—[ Republican. This is the most idiotic argument of all. So Mr, Tilden increaseg the Democratic vote 1,287,000 since 1868? But how about the increase of population? How about the millions of boys and young men that came of age in these eight years? Bless your stupid soul, if this reasoning is proper, why not carry it a step further, and show that Tilden received more than twice as many votes as Lincoln, more than thrice as many as Polk, more than five times as many as Van Buren, thirty times ag many as Jackson received in 1824, As old Hickory received 155,872 popular votes In 1824, and even in 1836 only 687,502, while 1% re- 1 N a ‘> ‘a a t 1 ‘3 4 sf 7 ceived’ 4,284,885 votes, the Iepublican’s: logician should insist that Tilden is at least twenty times a§ popular as Andrew Jack- son! 2 * * Cw — — — Ir will not surprise the public, perhaps, to be told that the foremost man of all the world” (which mgans Grant, of course) has torn himseif away from the blandish- ments of his beloved home at Galena and has gone to Chicago to enjoy one of those quiet visits for which he is so justly eele- brated. His duty to his relatives and so- cial acquaintances in the Lake City drew him away from the home around which the tendrils of his heart twihe so lovingly and from which he has been separated for near- ly twenty years by the stern decrees incident to saving the country a half-dozen times or more. In a day or two he will slip down to Springfield and mingle socially with the citizens of that town and shed a tear upon the tomb of his mgrtyr-friend, A. Lincoln. It must nat be thought that the movements of the foremost man of all the world have anything to do at this juncture with the selection of delegates to the Chicago Con- vention—a work now said to be progressing in Illinois. A man who has earned the title of the leading citizen of the world and who is worshipped as the only individual in a nation of 40,000,000 of souls capable of appointing Postmasters and giving out patronage is above any small tricks of this character. — — THE investigation going on at West Point in reference to the recent outrage on the colored cadet Whittaker has not up to this. time implicated that worthy as the author of his own bulldozing. There is not @ par- ticle of evidence to sustain the theory which General Schofield was so prompt to establish at the outset. The investigation has clearly placed one fact before the pub- lic, though, and that is that colored cadets are not popular cither with the students or the shoulder-strapped faculty at West Point. Whittaker has been treated with contempt all around, and he has led a life of isolation and social ostracism. He’ ap- pears to be a dull fellow. From standing forty-one in a class of fifty-nine he was dropped down to within four of the foot. How much of this decline is due to lack of aptitude and how much to the disadvantages under which , he has labored cannot be determined, but it is very certain that Congress will either have to quit sending negroes to West Point or will be compelled to establish dif- ferent social rules for that institution. An excellent idea would be to close the place up for a few years. Weare producing mil- itary drones faster than we can use them. The gold-laced department of our army is altogether disproportionate to the blue- bloused section and the hatchery should be stopped. Perhaps after a lapse of ten years the social prejudices at West Point will be obliterated and a negro who is fed and clothed and educated at Government expense will be the equal of a white boy whose ancestors fought, bled, voted and died to make all men the same. — — — — —jd .— — -- - ALL efforts to demonstrate that the Mis- sissippi River is a sort of inland seu capa- ble of being navigated on salt water princi- ples have up to the present time proven unsatisfactory. Last summer Secretary Thompson, of the navy, undertook to send the frigate Wachusett up tothis port by way of New Orleans. He succeeded in sticking her nose on a sand bar, and the water gradually slipped out from under her until she was in danger of being mistaken for a dry-land sugar mill. Day before yes- terday a schooner-rigged scow sailing from Sheboygan for the distant ports of the Gulf of Mexico, collided with one of our bridge piers and sustained damages which required herto go into ordinary. There is in this last accident, however, no cause for discouragement. There are many reasons why the Mississippi is not adapted to the employment of obsolete sailing vessels. The shoals are perilous, the channel tortuous and there is a lack of lee-way,so to speak, when it comes to riding out a storm. The forests along shore, also, interfere with the operations of the trade winds. As to steam navigation, however, there is no hindrance beyond a tendency on the part of the bot- tom of the river to come to the surface af- ter a season of extreme heat and aridity. We expect to see the day when ocean steamships will load at the port of St. Louis for Liverpool, Bremen and all parts of the world, We may have to cut a ditch through from Lake Michigan by way of securing a water supply, but after seeing what Capt. Eads has been able to do for the mouth of the river we do not despair of seeing its head irrigated some day with the surplus waters of the lakes. THE most ardent and enthusiastic friend of Mr. Tilden in this State is the brilliant editor ot the Sedalia Democrat. Bat even John Eu- wards is ready to give up all hope 80 far as this State is ‘Tilden came like another Christ,’’ says the pious Edwards. „He put his hand upon the dead Lazarus. He lifted up his eyes and prayed to the good God of the Constitution. But few in Missouri remember or care to remember that dut for Tilden they would to-day, politically, be two and two abreast, and made to Major Edwards says: . No, the Moberly Con- vention will not be for Tilden,*’ It seems that our talented friend in Sedalia has lost his confidgnce in the Missouri Demouragy. He manfully concludes: | a 7 _Mapy people ask: What will the Missouri De- moc do? Who cares anything about the M Democracy? They do not yet know that the war is over. Tney have not yet done dodging every time a cap snaps or a stick cracks. Grantism is still monstreus to them because they ure on their knees. The State is a State of ternadoes. Its le, even lly looking 4 pred — ) , bulging furward, and divine wrath, and eter isten . tor that roar which is born ot the presages destruction. Thev are not Tilden. RETURNS are still coming in concerning Mr. Tilaen’s physical condition. Judge Seney and F. C. Dougherty, two prominent Ohio Democrats, recently visited the sage in New | York and imparted their impressions to a local newspaper man after returning home. Mr. Seney remarked that an administrator would soon be needed for the Tilden estate, while Dougherty sententiously observed, “We found the remains of a great man.’’ He added that while Mr. Tilden spruced up dur- ing the interview and struggled to appear spry and vigorous, it was very plain to be seen that he was a feeble old man whose strength was gone. Said Mg. D. to the news- paper man: ee 9 His arm, as though paralyzed, hangs lim at bis side. His voice was as measured an feeble as a dying man's. He was nervous, evidently tearing he could not talk long. Though we did not advert to his health, th subject was uppermost in his mind and was the burden of his conversation. He suid the pepers had it that he could not feed himself, and that a campmen would kill him. It struck us that once at least the papers stated the fact regarding Mr. Tilden. His mind, however, was clear, and everything he said was proper and fitting; but itis folly to disguise the fact that he is physically debilitated—in fact, on the verge ot the grave—uand it he succeeded in surviving the strain and excitement of a cam- polar. in the event of his nomination, it would ea miracle; and if he should be nominated and liveto be elected President, and there should be any trouble or opposition to his in- auguration, it is hardly possible that he could live to be inaugurated. . Yet, inthe face of all these oft repeated facts, a great many Democrats go right on with their scheme to fasten Mr. Tilden on the Democratic party again. The idea seems to be that no matter pow feeble his voice may be, his checks speak with the penetrating force of Nova Scotia fog-horns. — — MR, ELI PERKINS, one of the most truthful as wellas the most observant of writers for the newspaper press, sendsthe New York Sun a letter from the West in which he says that although he has voted twice for Grant and is inclined to admire him, he must admit that there is tremendous feeling against him among Republicans wherever he has traveled. He bears sound Republicans every day say something like this: “I will throw away my vote before I will vote for Gen. Grant. He has had enough. We are tired of him. Ifthe politicians foist him upon us voters again we will have to teach them a lesson by letting him be defeated.” Mr. Perkins should attend Mr. Heliderson’s 6th of May convention in this city and relate his experience. _ A SHADE of sadness will creep over the face of the country when it is learned that Mr. Edward Payson Weston has returned to his home in Connecticut and has renounced pedestrianism. He declares that he is dis- gusted with the business because it has been transformed into a hippodroming humbug. A committee of leading citizens of the United States should wait on Mr. Weston and per- suade him to give over his serious intention of renouncing the turf. The fact that he does not retire until every tramp in this country and England has shown him his heels has a tendency to detract from his hitherto spotless reputation. EX-SENATOR POMEROY is credited with the observation that Mr. Thurman will never be President because no mamhas ever been elect- ed to the Presidency who blew his nose on a red bandana handkerchief. It may be remark- ed, also, that no man has ever been elected to a third term of the Presidency who eats with his knife and drinks whisky out of a bottle without first drawing his hand over the mouth of it to brush off the dust. It is thought tha under this rigid rule Gen. Grant will be ex- cluded. OBJECTION is made by some of the Eastern papers because Covert Bennet, the acquitted accomplice of Mrs. Policeman Smith, pro- poses to take to the lecture field and describe his physiological experience while under the death sentence. We hope that Mr. B. will be encouraged, and that the time will come when no man under the grade of murderer will be found boring the public from the lec- ture platform. ELEGANT society will be deprived for some time of its charming intercourse with Col. Eu- geue Edward Fairfax Williamson. He has con- cluded to retire tothe New York penitentiary for three and one-balf years. If facilities are offered him for keepirg up a genial flow of his photographs threugh the country he will be able, perhaps, to resume his social tri- umphs at the close of his term. IN the Republican this morning there is an account of a boyish quarrel ‘‘terminating in what might have been a murder,“ and a local paragraph abont a narrow escape which might have caused a terrible accident.” It must be a source of great comfort to some people to contemplate the possibilities in the way Of news. DURING Gen. Grant’s visit to New Orleans he purchased a “Robert E. Lee’’ hat, which he now wears around Galena. At no time since the surrender at Appomattox has the spirit of forgiveness and conciliation been so tender.

Bayard the Strongest Man. From the Hannibal Clipper-Heraid. | The only hope is to go outside New York for our nominee and yet select a man who can cer. tainly carry that State. Tuts Hancock or Thurman can probably do, but Bayard surely, The latter is now the most available as he i, the best man whom the Democracy can choose for their standard-bearer. He is above re. proach, above suspicion; dis hands are not grimy with the filth of the machine, whose le. ver he has never touched. He stands head and shoulders above every other Democratic states. man, unless it may be Thurman, and shoula he be nominated, could «sweep the West and South and poll every independent vote in New York and Massachusetts against Grant, Blaine or Sherman, and one of these three will surely be the Chicago nominee. We do not mean to say that Bayard isthe only man that can be elected as the nominee of the Democratic par. ty, but we do think him the noblest Roman of them all,’’ a fitting successor of Jefferson, Madison and Jackson, the great exponents of Democratic principles. Tilden’s Nomination Hopeless. From the Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.)! Many of Mr. Tilden’s own friends, in his own convention, while they tought Tammany, abandoned Tilden. Mr. Tilden may be able to name any other Democratic cahdidate than himself; himseif, if we may judge from the hopes and fears of his friends in his own State, he cannot nominate. It is not his enemies who his friends, who look upon it with despair, who have ruled him out of the list of available Democratic candidates tor the Presidency. A Voice From Georgia. From the Meadville Messenger (Dem.)! From letters received at this office and from inquiry of leading Democrats from every sec- tion of the country, we find that the sentiment of the people is almost a unit in opposition to the nomination of Mr. Tilden. The delegates appoihted to the Democratic convention in this county last fall, with a single exception, are outspoken in their opposition to his nomi- nation. Foriorn Hope. From the Des Moines Leader Dem. Convention the National Democracy will lead a for lorn hope from the start unless he can make up in other States whathe will inevita- bly not secuie in New York. Where will he make up that loss? What States can he carry that he did not carry in the last election? A Splendid Newspaper. From the Houston (Mo.) Democrat. !

The Champion of the World and the Missouri Wonder in the City. Every Preparation Completed for the Great Match To-Morrow. Interviews with Both Contestants— Sketches of Their Lives and Performances. Captain A. H. Bogardus, the bearer of the title of champion wing shot of the world, and Fred Exb, the young marksman from St. Joseph, who defeated the champion on the 11th day of last March, and who will attempt to repeat the performance at the Compton Avenue Shoeting Park to-morrow afternoon, both arrived in the city this morning. Capt. Bogardus came in on the Chicago and Alton train, and is accompanied by his wife and son Eugene, who is probably the most remarkable trick rifle shot in the world. Erb arrived on the Wabash road from St. Joseph, accompanied by two or three intimate friends. His backers will arrive in force to-morrow morning and will — their money with them. Capt. Bogardus will endeavor to prevent their re- turning with it. It is an adage in sporting circles that the man who can beat Bogardus can break Chicago.“ A delegation of over fifty sportsmen from the city on the lake will arrive this evening, prepared to stand by their champion, as long as they have a dollar. Everytbing is in readiness for the great con- test. The issue is a stake of $1,000 and the championship of the world. The conditions are that each man shall have 100 birds, to be released from five ground traps at thirty yards rise. Wild birds from Michi- gan will arrive this evening. The ground traps are such as used in England, and are very different from the T, or plunge traps, that obtain in America. From thé plunge trap the bird is thrown several feet in the air and forced to fly. The ground trap lies even with the turf, and the bird is simply uncovered at the word and left to fly as it pleases. By this arrangement the process of fleld shooting is exactly presented. It bas been determined, to commence the match at 2:30 o' clock to-morrow after - noon. The shooting park is the old Red Stocking Base Bali Grounds on Compton ave- nue, and is reached by the Market street cars. Several hundred strangers, all eminent sporting men, will be present. There will be no other sport on the ground to-mor- row except a match of twenty-five birds for twenty · flveuollars aside, between Dave Mullinslinger and Henry Siebold, two “pot hunters.’? This match may, however, be postponed until Sunday. Itis also probable that Eugene Bogardus, the thirteen-year- old son of the redoubtable Captain, will give an exhibition of his wonderful skill with the rifle. On next Monday itis the iatention of Gwynne Price, the English huuter, who is in charge of the shooting park, to have sweep- stakes shooting all day. Price is also very anxious to make a match with Eugene. The Post-DISPATCH reporter met both Bo- gardus and Erb this morning at the game de- pot of Capt. W. W. Judy. CAPT. A. H. BOGARDUS the champion, is looking well. His massive frame is as well knit as ever, and his nerves are of iron. His wonderful eyes are as clear as an eagle's, and about him there is that air of self-reliance and calm determination that infuses confidence in the beholder. The Cip- tain is no braggart. On the contray he goes to the extreme of bashfulness. ‘The reporter asked, How do you feel, Captain?“ | Never better in my life.“ „Do you feel confident of winning to- mor - row’s match?“ J am always confident.’ ‘*Your Chicago friends will back you as usual, heavily??? ‘*Yes, I suppose they will. I want to say one thing about myself, and that is that my eyes are not as good as they used to be. That is the only thing against my winning the match with ease.’’ What traps will you shoot from?” „ brought ground traps of my owa with me. These traps that they have supplied willnotdo. They are a cross between a ‘plunge’ and a ‘ground,’ and I will not use shot of the West (outside of Bogardus), never having been defeated, and Erb was only eigh- teen years of age at the time, the achievement was sufficient to bring the.St. Joseph boy to the front . a that — the present he n leo upon as Bees te with Bogardus. Out of 1 birds Erb killed 93, Howarth securing 909. Then came the match with Captain Bogar- dus at St. Joseph on March 11. The boy killed his ninety-three birds te the champion’s eigbty-three, and woke up the next morning to find himself famous. This is the best score on record. The pigeons were partly tame and partly wild. It will be remembered that Capt. Bogardus once killed a hundred straight birds, but they were tame doves, In the course of the conversation with the reporter, Erb said: I can’t tell exactly how or why I shoot so well. It just came uatural to me. Both men are fresh from field ex- ereiee. BETTING. Betting continues even, witha slight up- ward tendency in favor of Erb. An impression seems to have obtained that Bogardus is timid about meeting the Missouri marksman. Pools will be sold onthe event at the Turf Exchange this evening and to-morrow. ' EUGENE BOGARDUS is a chip of the old block, and bids fair to be the greatest shot, with either the rifle or the shotgun, of theage. His father has repeat- edly challenged Ira Paine and Dr. Carver to shoot a watch withthe boy. He is a hand- some, brown, clear-eyed, steady-looking boy, and will grow tobe as big as his father. A correspondent who was present at the St. Jo- seph match, writing of the young rifleman’s Skill, said: „Fred Erb brought out a silver quarter which }he handed to the Captain, who gave it a toss when, with astonishing dexterity, the force of the rifle ball sent it whizzing through the tops of trees fifty yardsaway. Another disappeared with the same ease, when it be- money on the part of those who were contri- buting and a nickel was thrown into the air. Another ball from Eugene’s Winchester sent it noone knew where. The Goddess of Liberty on a-silver dime was shot clear over 10 the Kansas side of the river by the foree of another ball from the boy’srifle. It would hardly be believed, but a small marble, not much larger than apea. when thrown into the air, disappeared simultaneously with the crack of the rifle inthe hands of the young champion. This is one of the most remarka- ble teats every performed by any one. Of Interest to Mrs. Pearson. The following letter has been received by the Postmaster of this city. It fully explains itself: NORBORNE, Mo., March 29, 1880.—Dear Sir: In the year 1864 myself and three other persons were trading by the road side near the Rocky Mountains, A small train came along carrying the very sick person of Capt, Josiah Pearson. Knowing that he could survive but a few days, they left him and his effects in ourshanty to be cared for. He beinga stranger tothe party that left him,thev passed on. He lived but afew days, and we buried him. One of our little party being a physician, he was entrusted with his papers, money, etc., among thema picture of his wife and daughter, and a bundle of letters from an affectionate wife. Itappears from papers and commissions in his possession that he had served in the regular army some twelve years andinour late war three years in Merrell Horse, and had gone tothe mountains to re- cover his health, These occurrences had nearly sliped my memory till a short time ago. I had an intimation that the party that we had entrusted with the duty of writing Mrs. Jos. Pearson, who at that time lived in St. Louis, had not done so, and I write hoping you will make the necessary inquiry, and find the widow or daughter of one who I learn was a most faith- ful officer and soldier. I thinkit is due to them that they should know the fate of their husband and father. Respectfuilv yours, DAN VAN TREMP, P. M.

The “Oaken Hearts“ case was again up be- fore Judge Adams this morning. As will be remembered the day after the temporary ia- junction against the production of the play at Pope’s Theater, Hearne’s attorneys went into court with an affidavit charging that the defendants, Pope and the Daiziels, had produced Oaken Hearts?“ or Hearts of Oak,“ notwithstand - ing the order of court, and asked that they be ordered to appear and show cause why they should not be attached for contempt. The order was granted and made returnable on next Saturday, when, it was understood, the argument on the motion to dissolve the tem- rary injunction would be heard. The fol- owing day, that is last Wednesday Pope’s attorneys went in d, filed a etition and bond for to the United States CircuitCourt. The mat- ter was laid over till this morning, when Hearne’s attorneys came in with an affidavit alleging that the defendant had continued to produce ‘*Oaken Hearts“ all the week and had persisted to act in contempt of court, and asked that they therefore be attached forth- with. The attorneys on the other side claimed that the case with all its collateral branches had really been transfered to the United States Circuit Court. The Judge decided that the case had been transferred, but that the contempt of which the defend- ants had been alleged to be guilty must be passed upon in his court. The order, there- fore, for the defendants to appear to-morrow and show cause why 9 should not be pun- isked for contempt will not be interfered with inthe removal of the injunction pro- ceedings. removal A CYCLONE, „And thus the whirligig of Time brings in his revenges.’’ [Twelfth Night.

This record stood as the best until Erb’s scores of 93 with Howarth and with Bogardus, FRED. ERB, JR., is a well knit, athletic young man, with a hed gg appearance, is five feet eight 2 in is complexion is quite dark. His eves, which are of a deep brown, are as clear as diamonds, He gives the idea of sluggishness in his move- ments, but those who have seen him before the trap say that he is as agile as a panther. There is some question as to his exact age, rumor putting it all the way from twenty to thirty-four. He parried the direct questions of the reporter on this point and only said, „Well, say that I am twenty-four.’’ He was born in Lafayette, Indiana, on June 25, 18569 according to report from his home, although the St. George Herald insists that he was born in 1860 and is consequently still in his teens. His appearance, however, show him to be much older. When Fred had reached the age of ten years his father was the crack shot of the country, Bogardus standing second. In 1870 Erb, Sr., shot a match with Jack Taylor for a purse of $1,000, the conditions being 100 birds at twenty-one yards rise. Erb killed ninety-five, and Taylor ninety-four. This match had the effect to arouse the spirit of the son, although he had not yet handled a gun. | In the following year his father emigrated to Illinois, locating fora time at Rushville, where Fred got his first lessons in shooting. He was instructed from the start to shoot at his bird only when it was on the wing, and it he failed to drop it at the first fire to let it go. While living in Rushville Fred had ample time for practice, shooting at chickens and snipe, and when a year. afterward he and his father removed to Iowa City he was able to compete in the field with the best shots ofthe country. Leaving lowa, Fred and bis father came to Shelbina in Illinois. During the chicken season a wager of $50 was laid that Fred coutd not kill forty out of fifty chickens in the field. He shot over an eld dog called Nose“ (who would rather take a charge of shot than flush a chicken), and he won the wager by killing fifty birds straight. This exploit brought him into prominence as a wing shooter, al- though a mere boy. While a boy at school a * match was arranged for a purse of 00. ten birds, at twenty-one yards rise. In this contest Fred was successful, killing his: ten straight birds. In 1876 Fred and his father went to St. Joe, and from that time on Fred became conspicu- ous as a fiela hunter, as well as prominent at the trap. IX January, 1877, he shot a pigeon match with Charley Dorsey for $508 side, 15. single birds at 21 yards rise, each shooter to ‘pring his own trap. Fred a muzzle- loading gun. In chis contest Fred killed 12 out of 14. Dorsey scoring 10 out of 14. After this match Fred confined himself al- most to field shooting, now and then tak Spilker & Weber. The terms were private.
