THE EASTERN DROUGAT. Dry Wellsin Jersey and Birds Dying 0’ Starvation. [From the New York Sun, 2oth. J The long drought, which has parched the eountry generally, has reduced the southern part of New York State and the northern por- tion of New Jersey toa condition that has hal no parallel in many years. In Passaic and Bergen counties, N. J., there are a creat num- ber of residences of persons doing business in New York and residing during the co.der montbs in the vicinity of this city. On May ti the owners of these suburban places betake themselves to their country homes, and are accustomed to find the grass extending over collective lawns of many hundred acres green and _ fresh. But this year the face of the country bears a different aspect. The grass is not green, but yellow and withered, the flowers are sickly and drooping for want of moisture, and al- thoughthe trees have put forth their ieaves, the foliage looks shrunken and hangs ina lifeless way. Robins and other song birds, which are carefully protected by the owners of the numerous country seats in New Jersey, and usually make the woods and meadows resoubd With song at this time of year, are rarcly heard now. They shelter themselves as best they may fromthe fierce heat of the sup, and are seldom seen on the open ground except inthe early moraing and after sun- down. ‘The dry earth refuses to afford them their natural diet, for without burrowing two or three feet intothe ground they would be puzzled to find a worm; and, deprived of this food, thousands of them have died of starva- tion, and their lifeless bodies are every day found lving ov the parched grass. But the evil is by no means confined to the destruction of pleasure grounds and objects of beauty. It extends further, and promises. if the drought continues much longer, to pro- duce incalculable suffering. The chief pro- ductions of Passaic and Bergen counties are hav and pasture. The grass seems to, be de- stroyed in every district, and presents a yel- lowish appearance. Vegetables and fruits of all kinds now in season are scarce and bad. Cherries should now be tolerably plentiful, but they have been plucked toosoon, lest the intense heat should destroy them, and they are small and flavoriess. Strawberries are gathered in abundance, but they are, for the most part, almost worthless. They have not matured, and to leave them unplucked is to insure their destruction. In some private gardens great care and persistent watering by band have resulted in the production of some fairly good fruit, but the regular growers have failed to raise much that is fitfor sale. Hundreds of acres of land have forsome time been ready to receive the corn seed ordinarily sown at this period or earlier, but the firmers have not planted it. They sayit would be useless to do so: first, because the chances would be greatly against its taking root if it were not disturbed, and second, because, the ground being not unlike an ash heap in its consisfency. the birds would quickly pick it out, and the moles, easily traversing the earth in its present condition, would destroy it. If the drought lasts two weeks longerit will be too late to plant tke seed, and a short crop will be the result. Another great danger is threatened by the existing heat; a large number of silk and other wills in Passaic and Bergen counties are run by water power, and are dependent upon the numerous streams that thread the iwo counties for their supply of water. These streams are rapidly running low, anda not very protracted continuance of the pres- ent heat will stop the mil's sitogether. Al- yeecdy the anticipated peri! forms an anxious tc pic of discussion in the mill districts, where jt is suid that, should existing fears be realiz- ed, upward of 500 employes will be thrown outofwoik. The wells, too, have felt the effeci-af the drought, and a scarcity of water is appretiended. Some Pirates Not of Penzance. {From the New York Pcst.! An odd story comes to us from Greenport. L. L., and Gardiner’s Island which willlenda smack of romance to those quiet and usually | peaceful localities for some time to come. There had previousiy been some rumors in the airof attempted piracy on a small scale in | the neighborhood, but they had been of that | airy and indefinite character that sometimes attaches to ‘*forecastie yearns,’’ orthe narra- tives popularly supposed to be mest suitable tothe ‘‘marines.’’ It is now, however, ex- plicity declared that four gehtlemen who were fishing on the day defore yesterday ia a gig off Pium Island were approached in hostile fashion by a boat containing six men, that the énemy were only kept off by cocked revolvers andthe stern announcement of Mr. L. R. Jerome of this city that upon occasion the weapons would be promptly used. It is fur- ther said that these men came from a scboon- er called the Bellow, which they were seen afterwards to join, and that Mr. Alexander Taylor, Jr., of the vacht Skylark, vesterday notified the United States authorities at New Lendon, Conn., of the facts. But the curious tale does not end bere. It appears that Capt. James D. Smith, of the yacht Estelle, hearing of what had happened, went yesteraay morning with ten picked men to Gardiner’s Island. The crew of the sus- pected schooner had pitched a tent there, and to this Capt. Smith directed his attention. A ¢pirited engagement—as we are assure i—en- sued, Which resulted in the pirates being driven from their lair. Capt. Smith captured their arms, their cooke- ing utcpsils,and,, which is deemed of chief moment, their colors. These, it is avowed, include averitable black flag with skull and ¢cross-bones, and all of these treasures were taken on board the Estelle. Whether repri- fals will now be undertaken, such as enliven Byron’s ‘*Corsair,’’ time only will show, but if they are we mav be surethatthe gal- lant New Yorkers will give a good ac- count of themselves, and wi!l sweep their piratical foes from the sexs,even if it takes the whole yacht fleet of the New York Yacht Club to accomplish it. ~~ The Otts of Baltimore. | Baltimore Special to N. Y. Sun. |! An assault case will shortly be called in the Criminal Court here, which has behind it a story both interesting and complicated. In 1862 a family of Otts hada prosperous dairy in,Kast Baltimore. About that time a comely - person took service in the family as a maid of ull work.The person was efticient, and won the praise of Mrs. Ott. Mr. Ott’s family inherited insanity. There were two sons, andone of them, John, soon after the appearance of the maid of all work, became insane. The father soon after succumbed to the family disease, and then Mrs. Ott was supreme in the dairy and the bousehold. The other son, George, Was not much at home, and so the mother had her own way. The father and his insane son were banished To one room, and the maid of all work,‘* Mary Wyman,” and Mrs. Ott lived together. In 160 **Mary Wyman’’ left the Ott household and about two mogths later Mrs. Ott engaged the service of Joseph Wyman as superinten- dentof tbe dairy. In 1873 George (tt, the ton, charged bis mother with being unduly familiar with Joseph Wyman. Soon after the scevestion, Ott, the husband and father, transferred all of the property to Wyman. Gorge Olt bravght suif against Wyman to —— have the transfer set aside on account of the elder Ott’sinsamty. The Court granted the request, and put George Ott, as receiver, in charge of the ay yes 4 Detectives who had been employed in the case declared that ‘*Mar yman,” the maid of all work, and Joseph Wyman were one and the same per- son. George Ott took possession of the pro- perty while Wyman was absent, When W7- man returved he assaulted Ott, who haa Wy- man arrested. Hence the assault case. The assauit case, as well as the civil suit, will come up at the next term of the court. An American Doctor in Russia. . |From the St. Petersburg Golos. | Inthe month of April there came to St. Petersburg one Dr. Hoff, of New York, an alleged specialist in the treatment of aiphthe- 1ia, recommended to the Russian medical au- tbhorities by the Russian Minister at Washing- tonand by Mr. Ramsey, the United States Minister of War. Dr. Hoff claimed to possess a specific for diphtheria, an oil extracted from the roots of a Brazilian plant known as farri- com. This oil, dissoived in alcohol and used internolly and externally, according to the directions of Dr. Hoft, was said to be asure remedy in cases of diphtheria. The Yankee dogor also explained that he did not seek any pecuniary profit from his discovery; that he had left in New York a handsome practice, re ng him over $100 weekly; that all he Wanted was an opportunity to secure a fair trial for his drug on a large scale. One thing looked rather strange to the Ruggian doctors, viz.: that their Yankee col- league did not know the medical terminology. and was unable to tell them to what g@us and species farricom belonged. Nevertheless, the » doctor was permitted to try his drug and ski'l. He went into the province of Poltava, where an epidemic of diphtheria wasfraging. Several Villages were visited by him, and a number of the sick were given overto his special care. Some of tbe Sisters of Mercy were placed at his disposal and were instructed by him. Unhappily the results of the experi- ment were not favorable tothe Yankee doc- tor. Of all the patients treated by him not one recovered. As soon as the arrival of the American doctor was made known great numbers of invalids of all kinds,especially in- curables, flocked to bim. His professional advice was freely given, and its nature satis- fied the Russian physicians and druggists that Dr. Hoff had not enjoyed the advantages of a thorough medical education. As he does not charge anything for his advice and medi- cine be is not.a quack inthe ordinary sense. Here he is regarded as a fanatic on the subject of bis drug. Howgate’s Arctic Steamship. j|From the Washington Star, May 1s. | The steamer Gulnare was successfully launched last evening from the Alexandria Marine Railway Company’s docks in the pres- ence of Secretary Thompson and his daughter, Capt. Howgate and his wife; Mr. Snyder, vresident of Marine Railway Company: Capt. Chester, of the Gulnare, and others. The Giulnare is an 1ron steamer of 225 tons, 140 feet in length and twenty-one feet breadth of beam. The thin iron plates, which are generaily re- garded as a suflicient protection against the violence of the winds and waves, have in this case been reinforced on each side by an entire new wooden frame of white oak on the inside, lined throughout with heavy four- inch ceiling. The outside is sheathed with three-inch oak plank fastened through and through,the whole giving a strong shellof wood and iron fpurteen inches in thickness. The bow off the outside is iron- plated, fourteen feet from the stem and ten feet up and down. Inthe inside the bow is built up with three heavy “breast hooks, tit- ted in solid, while throughout the entire ves- sel heavy ouk beams run from sie to side at the water mark. The engineis of 250 horse power, with two 30-inch cyiinders anda 24- inch stroke. The vessel is brig-rigged, and is fitted out with an entire new suit of sails and new spare sails. The vessel will be brought to the Washington navv yard, where the work of Joading will be begun atonce. She will be provisioned for two years for twenty-five men, with canned pemmican. Fur clothing will be secured along the Greenland coast. The ex- pedition, it is thougbt, will sailin June, and .the vessel will make its way asfaras eighty- two north latitude, wherea double frame wocden house, built in this city, will be lor Si and the rest of the journey will be by Jand, The Late Gustave Flaubert. !Fromthe New York Times. ] There were some peculiar things about Gus- tave Flauburt, who lately died at his country seat, near Rouen, for, though an author, he could afford the luxury of a country seat, thanks to his paternal inheritance, not to his pen. Tiedied of apoplexy, and as he was tond of bathing, the French, who seldom bathe, think that the extraordinary habit kill- ed him. He was the founder, though not de- signedly,ofgthe school now known asthe natur- alistic, specially represented by Zola and his followers. While his **Madame Bovary’’ has been censured for licentiousness, he is said by bis friends to have written it with severe artistic conscientious- hess, and from earnest and lofty attachment | torealism. He spent five years in museums, | libraries, and amid the ruins of Carthage, in ; order to make studies of **Salammbo,’’ be- | fore he had written the first lize of the novel. Histericaliy and areovwologically, it has been praised to the echo by the most discriminating critics. Notwithstanding his ample means, Flaubert toiled over his manuscript as if his | bread Cepended on perfection of style on the | smallest detail. Neither Rousseau nor Em- erson ever labored harder at bis self-appoint- ed task. tle is known to have spent hours on single lines: he built a book as masons build a cathedral, using words as thev use stones: and he would not be satisfied when he could torture from bis braina happier expression. He had faith in his immortality—how many authors have!—and yet the literature of France has long been crowded with eatirely forgotten immoitals. : —— — - — ll Mr. Oliphant’s Scheme for Colonizing Paiestine. [From the Londcn Times. ] The Kev. George Nugee gave a lecture yes- terdav, May 15, at St. George’s Hall, on a pro- posal for coionizing Palestine by Jews, and referred incidentally to the existing establish- ) ment of a Jewish agricultural colony of fifty- five inhabitants near Jaffa. After some stat- istics relating tothe modern Jews, who, he said, bad shown themselves so alive to the ad- vantages of education that they numbered balfthe University students, half the barris- ters, and more than half the merchants of Vienna, the lecturer proceeded todevelop a plan which he said had met with§the approval of many Jews,and had becn communicated by Mr. Lawrence Oliphant to the Sultan, who re- ceived it favorably, for establishing a Jewish colony on the east bank of the Jordan. The plan was to purchase 1,500,000 acies, to introduce a Eurgpean element into its govern- ment, and to sefile colonies there, either of Jewish peasant farmersor Jewish farmers employing the iabor of the indigenous fellahin. The incursions of the Arabs were a danger, but might be bought off. He had senta cir- cular to Mr. Goschen, the new special envoy to Constantinople, who had expressed a deep interestinthe scheme. The lecturer describ- ¢d the country which was to be settled as ex- ceedingly fertile, and identified it withthe land allotted to Reuben, Dan and the half tribe of Mannasseh. Sale of uods. [From the New York Herald. 26th. | A sale of Egyptian and Hindoo antiquities Was begun at Leavitt's art rooms yesterday, and will be continued to-day and to-morrow. Ibe collection was gathered by Mr. W. J. Shaw, of California, and was curious rather than rare. The prices realized yesterday were low, the cods especially brmmging almost noth- ing. A bronze image of Budha brought only $3 50, while other images of the same god were sold as low as 40 cents. A bronze and two nummy Osirises brought $2 each. A bead of Jupiter was sold for $6, the god That and the cod Ptah for $ each and Iris for $1 50. Bacchus ranged in price from $1 to 20 cents.

Selling Off Her Superfluous . Clothes and Jewels. {From the New York World, May 25. | It was a decidedly untheatrical collection of people that occupied chairsin the salesroom of Thom@gg E. Kirby & Co., at No. 845 Broad- way, yesterday afternoon while the head of the firm sold twenty-eight lots of dresses and costumes from the wardrobe of Miss Adelaide Neilson and sixteen lots of jeweiry said to be- long tober. The buyers, mostly dressers and dealers in theatrical costumes, obtained the wardrobe at low prices. Inquiries were made by many for Commodore Tooker, but even he was absent. Not more than sixty persons were present atatime, Mr. Kirby described the articles mentionedinthe catalogue and said that they were only portions of Miss Neil- son’s wardrobe and jewels. ‘The tirst lot was a ‘purple velvet dress, trimmed skirt and overdress,” which brought $11 50. -Lot No. 2,a@**Beatrice dress of pale blue gros grain silk, embroidered in gold and elegantly trimmed,” sold for $47 50.

When the turn of the jewelry cime the speculative women gave way to speculative men. The bracelets, rings and brooches were taken out of a glass case and passed round for inspection. Seventeen lots were offered. but the last lot, a pendant containing two large black pearls and several diamonds, was with- drawn, because a bid at the upset price, $2,500, could not be obtained. Onecol- ored gold bracelet set with one pearl and rose diamonds, and @set with one diamond and fifteen pearls brought $52 and $66 respectively, and with a gold ring, with a setting of cat’s- eye and twelve diamonds, which brougat $x), were soldto W.

The amount which the jewelry brought is $2,2u!, making the total receipts $2,802. Mr. Kirby said tbat the costunies did not bring What was expected, and tnat the jewelry sola for »0 per cent less than was anticipated. [From the New York Sun, 26th. | Amopg the jewels sold by Miss Neilson on Monday were some gifts from admirers who probably cid not expect at the time they gave them that these tokens of appreciation would be put up at auction, at least unless the popu- lar actress should bein greater pecuniary stress than she is now. Asale like Monday’s ought to be a lesson to people who are fond of mik- irg individual presents gr uniting in subscrip- tion gifts to public performers, under tne hallucination that they will be treasured with jealous care, and hallowed with the gratitude and tears of which Miss Neilson so eloquenstty spoke at herfarewell benetit on the night after the auction.

Schofield without waiting for the completion of the record, and thatit will probably be made public at once. This summing-up would doubtless have been the sole business of Friday’s session. but for the discovery since the court last met of a little matter which will give Cadet Whit- taker an opportunity to do more testifying. Naturally the members of the court, punc- tilious as they have been from the first, are opposed to making Known in advance of the session just what this matter is, but some- thing of it has leaked out. It is one of the most stringent laws of the post that cadets shali keep no citizen’s clothing in their rooms,and it is the duty of an inspector from time to time to examinefthe cadet bar- racks for the purpose of detecting any ine fringements of this rule. While perform- ing this duty yesterday or the day before the inspector—or such is the story—found tightly rolled up in the sleeve of Ca- det Whittaker’s overcoat a air of citizen’s trousers. Whittaker has declared tbat there was no citizen’s clothing in his apartment. He was reportedto the Superia- tendent and was summon atonce to the Superintendent’s oflice. There the trousers were exhibited to him and he was asked if they were bis property. He failed upon in- spection to recognize them, and was not able todoso until his name, written upon the in- — of the watch pocket, was pointed out to m. # This isthe story as it is related around the post. General Schofield declined to say or permit the commandant of cadets to say whetber this version was the correct one or not., He admitted that citizen’s trousers had been found in Whittaker’s room, but took painsio add that he regarded it a8 manifestly unfair to express any opiniomor jump 0 any . r + > ge, ee , . ; ’ ° > * _- 5 ‘ ape tf + i PS t ,. 4 - + 1.4 oe ss Sok ws odie: ie ’ 2 2 : 3 - a p = > a . , 4 . * ‘a4 ps * ¢ : PW beg c. 4 ; ; PAC eee tae eae oe reg ee re Mg Eady! q + Soe ¢ boa : Vu 3 4 4 Fa ~~ Piang ’ Sa % , ys , = foe e% . > ag js ». > eS ae ee pail cil * Pw. 3 %. a = - “ 3 ae | we r diy) ’ ay , e; one 7 Ao ; . . ‘ do i - bd A Ccuntry Rich With Geld, Silver and Wheat | —— sixteen months past, paid a monthly dividend of $30,000, an ‘aggregate of $430,009 already paid back upon an investment of only about $20,000 more than that; and out of its sui plus fund the y is now building another 120-stamp mil}, which will enable i, to increase its dividends to $50,000 a monta— that is 10 percent a month upon the total investment. The De Smet mine is paying the same dividends. Can the world show a more profitable speculation? ‘*But is there not a probability that the ore supply may may be exhausted?’” _ “My dear sir, go out with me When I re- turn, and take a look at the vast mountains of solid ore they have ~* to Use up. No shaft hus * ever. yet struck bottom in it, and the ofe con- tinually grows richer. I went gown a few days before I left to see the Homestake ‘*clean-up’’ for the two weeks before, and it was an even haif-ton of solid gold! And this isthe product of but one company. We have nine hundred square miles of gold fields, and every day is addfthg tothe number of mines, The published reports of the Biack Hills goid yield reaily include nothing but the product of our two great mining companies, while al| the smaller quartz-mining companies and the placer mines are ignored, and yet I think they are producing one-balf of all the gold sent out of the Hillis. The HNomestake asd De Smet companies ~ clean up and sip their gold twice a month in a treasure-coach, witb a strong guard of heavily armed men. It costs about $1,500 each trip of the coach. The gold is in_ great blocks ~— or bricks, and it1s easy to ascertain the exact value, and this is about all that is mentioned: while the product of the smaller mines and the plaeers goes by private conveyance, ex- press, registered leiters and similar modes, and is unnoticed. Instead of $4,000,004 year, Lam of the opinion our total yield should be put at $8,000,000. As an instance of the richness of the placer mines, I took some Virginia and Carolina friends down the Fri- day beiore 1 left home to see the clean-up for the day of two men, McArthur and Rawson, who are workingan old supposediv exhausted placer claim on the south end of Main street in Deadwood. One digs out the gravel and the other washes it, and they cleaned up, as the re- sult of that day’s work, over $8U in dust, or upwards of $40 a dav apiece as wages. Now, tske into consideration the fact that there are at least 2,000 men engaged in this kindof miningin the hilis, and you bave some idea of the grand amount that is thus being quietly and unpretentiously added tothe wealth of the world.’’ | ‘*How are prices of lands out there?’’ ‘‘Any man Can enter 480 acres, almost with- out money and without price—160 under the homestead act, 160 under the pre-emptien laws and 160 as a tree-claim.’’ — ‘‘Howare poiitics out in that region, Col- one) ?”? ‘*Ob,we territoryites have no voté in Presi- dential elections, you know, and consequently =e little partisan politics.

I said then, that the monstrous follies of the rampant Southern idiots in Congréss, their twaddiing- about States’ rights, and their mad talk of ‘wiping out the last vestiges of war iegislation,’ abvol- ishing the army, starving tbe government and capturing the Capitol,would inevitably arouse all the old war feeling and sentiment of the North and bring back to the front the great incarnation of that war feeling and sentiment —Ulysses Grant. I declared that unless the South sat down, at once and forever, on her howling biatherskites masquerading as states- men at Washington, Grant’s renominativn and re-election were as certain as the crecrees of Fate. Southern ignoramuses laughed me to scorn then or vilified me as having turned radical. But to-day my ‘wild vagar- ies’ are almost history. Grant will be nominated next week in Chicago. by acclamation, and the men who have done it are not Conkling, Cameron and Logan, but Ben. Hill, Lamar, Joe Blackburn, e¢ id @mne genus demazogical ranters and panderers to sectional ignorance and folly. Their jawbones, more potent far than that of Samson’s jacx- sss, have slaughtered not the opposing Phil- istines, but the political prospeets, the high hopes and the material prosperity of their own hapless section and people. The North does not want Grant, but these so-cailed Southern leaders have forced his nomination, and I think insured his election.” ** After Grant and the third term, what?’ ‘Why. another man andthe republic. All this talk about Grant’s overthrowing the Con- stitution and establishing an empire is what a profane Black Hiller would styie ‘d—d bull- beaded nonsense. Ten thousand Grants m@ted into one can not overturn popular government until the people, fifty millions of freemen, get ready to bave it overturned, and when they do, rox pupuli will cesse to be ror Dei and become vor Dicholi. Nobody will be to blame but the people themselves.’’ “Who do you think will be the nominee of the Democracy?” ‘*They will have none. Tilden will be his own nominee, and that means a walk-over for Grant. It would make no difference who was nominated; with a solid North, brouch about by Southern folly, against asolid South. the doom of the ticket is sealed in advance.”’ Col. Donan leaves for Arkansas to-morrow to deliver the annual address before the state Press Association, and will return to Dakota about the middle of June. Bruce Not a Candidate. | Washington Cor. Philadelphia Times. } I notice that Bruce says he don’t want to be Vice-President. [don’t blame bim. It is a hum-drum affair, and its duties are best filled by the stupidest man to be found. A know- ledge of the rules of the Senate, over whicn he presides, is a positive disqualifica'ion. That’s why Wheeler makes such a good Vice- President. True, he is off fishing in the Ad- irondacks half his time, but that don’t mat- ter. He can be as good a Vice-President among the black flies, the mosquitoes and muscolonges as among the statesmen of the Senate. Bruce would make a very good pre- siding officer, and if he could be broken of bis havit of ——e like a fog-horn when he is asleep he woul ing officer. Bruce 1s a very well behaved man. He minds his own business and doesn’t get ia people’s way. He weighs about two huadred and forty pounds and dresses very neatly. He isthe youngest Senator in the chamber, be- ing barely thirty-nine. Altnough a Senator, he never goes where any respectable colored man may notgo. A year ortwo agohe went to the proprietor of a fashionable drinking saloon and said that he oceasionaliy wanted to take a drink and asking if the proprietor would object toit. The proprietor said no; de was at liberty tocome whenever he pleas- ed. Bruce explained that he did not want to KO anywhere io create annoyance or emvpar- rassinent. He now goes quietly to the bar when he wants to (as I bave heard) and takes his drink like any other Senator. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

The summer season of operatic perform- ances was inaugurated last evening at Uhrig’s Cave under most unfavorable circumstances 0 faras the weather was concerned, but, notwithstanding all the annoyances occasioned thereby, the performance of the opera, allow- ing for the inevitable drawbacks of an opening nicht and sudden change of venue to the hall, was highly satisfactory. A large and fashion- able audience attended in of the dismal atmospheric conditions, and, aS announced, the programme was giveninthe hall. The managers of the Uhrig’s Cave Opera Company are Messrs. Jobn J. Collins and P. Short. Signor Carlo Torriani is musical conductor Gustavus F. Hall, stage Manager, and J. H Shewell prompter. Flotow’s ‘* fartha” W is the programme, which was to be the initial test of the qualities and capabilities of the company, and allowing for the unavoidable nervousness, etc., of a first night, the opera wasrendered in a highly successfu! marner. Chorus and ensemble were good, the action was lively and animated and the pleasure of the audience was manifested in the frequent and long applause bestowed ,upon the artists. Lady Harriet Durham was ersonated by Miss Louise Manfred, and this ady created a most favorable impression. Her voice is clear. and sweet and her action dramatic. She created a perfect furore by hersinging ofthe gem of the ‘opera, ‘*The Last Rose of Summer,’’ and was encored en- thusiastically, besides receiving floral tributes. Miss Mary Ek. Porter, as Nancy, aiso evinced congiderable talent as a vocalist, but was evidently suffering from nervousness. She will improve much after one or two performances. Gus Hal], as Lord Tristan, of course, was excellent. He is a capital actor and his reputation as a singer is well known. Mr. E. H. Dexter, the Lionel, has a fine tenor voice, but last night was slightly ‘‘off’’ and did not do justice to bis abiiity. He estab- lished himselr as a decided favorite here last sunimer and the public expect and demand of him splendid work. Mr. stuart Harold, the Piunkett, possesses a powerful and effective baritone which he handles with much skill. He made a decided hit. Mr. C. M. Collins and Miss Luella La Pitre amply filled the requirements of their respective roles. The orchestra needs a little more drilling. Last night’s performance as a whole was eminently satis- factory, and to-night the opera will go with- outahitch ‘*Martbka’’ will be given in the varden this evening if the weather is favora- ble. It wilt be produced every evening until further notice. re The Pickwick. The **Belis of Corneville” was given at this cosy theater last eveningto a large audience, Miss. Louise Lester appearing as Germaine, and Wm. Luard as the Marguis. Both re- ceived several encores. To-night, French night, the entertainment begins precisely at 8 o’clock with Jacques Offenbach’s oper- etta in one act, **Les Deux Aveuglies,”’ the two roles Patachon and Girofier being taken re- spectively by Mons. Louis Nathal and Mons. E. Bageard. ‘**The Bells of Corneville’’ will follow. ‘To-morrow matinee, musical rehears- al of **The Bells;’’? admission 25 cents. To- morrow evening, ‘*The Grand Duchess. ’?

KANSAS sends ten out and out Seymoyr delegates to Cincinnati. | Iv may be that Grant will be nominated at Chicago, but our advice is not to bet on it. As Mr. Tilden is fow practically out of the race, we hope that he will be treated in a kindly spirit. The objection was not to him, but to his candidacy, which meant danger to the party. Denis Kearney has been released from the San Francisco Work-house in time to assist in the reception of Ben Butler. His sulphurous eloquence will also impart zest to the Presidential campaign. _ Brrw KEN the demonstrations on the part of the Grant and the anti-Grant factions Chicago resembles about this time a Chinese battle-field. A tremendous beating of gongs and tom-toms is going on, and the idea stems to prevail that the crowd making the ymost noise will win the day. . BLAIxe, by the advice of his friends, will not carry his plumes and hurtling lance to Chicago in person. He will remain in Wash- ington. Ilamlet’s advice to Polonius touching his daughter is applicable to the Senator about this time. He should be careful not to walk in the sun. locmipng up for the second place on the Grant ticket.. Great care should be taken in selecting a Southern man of the name of Davis. The loyal voters of the country might mix him up with the other Davis and conclude to execute him on a sour-apple 1 rec ‘ Iv would appear that the Democrats of Mississippi are not absolutely languishing for another dose of Tilden. The State delegai¢s, none of them pronounced Tilden men, an! declined to adopt resolutions of instruction. Like the Mis- souri, the Mississippi Democrats are look- brethren in ipy for a winner. Tue members of the late Moberly conven- ticn and the delegates to Cincinnati chosen by them will not, we hope, be surprised on hearing that the delegation is ‘‘for Seymour jirst, Morrison next.’’ The information is authentic and reliable, as it comes from the Post: Disratcu.—|[ Republican.

A private dispatch from Chicago to Mr. Halstead says that Col. Fred Grant recent- Iv called upon the Sherman men in that city and offered them the Vice-Presidency for their man. They politely declined. The Colonc! informed them, with considera- ble superciliousness, that if Sherman didn’t take the tail place on the ticket he would vet nothing. <All things considered, the Grants seem to be behaving with consider- toward American able forbearance the people. Tue Saurians at the corner of Third and Chestnut streets want to know what has | yaecnme of Bayard as a presidential candi- date. As they generally manage to keep from two to three vears behind the current news of the day, itis fair to assume that they are groping for information. We Would remark that JIr. Bavard received the solid indorsement of the Democracy of his State the other day, and that’s more than several other well-advertised candi- dates can boast of. For the last few days the Post-Dispearcn has hadthe extreme pleasure of contem- plating from its windows a lot of werkmen cnugaged in tearing up the rotten Nicholson pavement en Fifth street and putting down a lot of newly-tarred, soft pine blocks, which will be reduced to stinking pulp in about six months. While this expensive nonsense goes on great beds of granite, Jianccd down from the Azoic age, are slum- bering quietly at, our very gates. No such material for street paving exists in the world, and yet the enterprising men who have saddled a debt of over $22,000,000 up- on the city, not being of a scientific turn of mind, never discovered the resisting pow- ers of this primitive, metaphoric rock. wh. How would this do as the next adminis- tration? President—Horatio Seymour. Vice-President—Thomas A. Hendricks. Secretary of State—Thomas F. Bayard. Secretary of the Treasury—Allen G. Thurman. Secretary of War—Winfield S. Hancock. Attorney-General—B. Gratz Brown. Secretary of the Interior—Wm. R. Mor- rison. -* Postmaster-General—L. Q. C. Lamar. Secretary of the Navy—John B. Gordon. Minister to England—Samuel J. Tilden. OO ) TuERE is great virtue in an if, and much consolation in the “it might have been.”’ Our esteemed contemporary the Republican puts the case very correctly when, in ex- plaining how Mr. Tilden lost the State, it S2vs: There would have been a full delegation of thirty Tilden Democrats from Moberly to Cin- cinnatiif the Logan style of partisan tactics prevailed in Missourl. Yes, and in that way alone. But by par- itv of ‘reasoning, as that way was reversed there is an anti-Tilden delegation. No sub- terfuge or sophistry can change that solid fact. -_ a ——— = WHAT WILL NOMINATE AT CINCIN- NATI. We said weeks ago that it was impossi- ble to foretell who would be nominated at Cincinnati, and that this was a good sign, indicated the deliberative charac- the convention. We _ repeat The candidate of the Amer- can Democracy this year will be nominated by arguments, not men. For whomsoever the Jest argument is made at Cincinnati, whoever should have; on his side the strongest logic, the clearest reason- ing, the weightiest facts, the greatest character, will be nominated. The Lest argument will win, and no one can tell to- day in whose favor the best argument will be made a month hence, as this depends upon the situation at that time. Many things may and will happen be- tween now and then. If Grant is nom- indted at Chicago, Cincinnati will make quite a different answer than if Grant should be defeated and such a man as Ed- munds be the Republican candidate. That we are right in this view is shown by the remarkable fact that not one dele- gate of the majority of the Democratic already elected is instructed Tilden—not one. Nearly the whole party seems to imbued with the wise spirit of the the delegates to Cincinnati free and un- pledged, of making the convention a truly deliberative council, and of having the very as it ter of again: convention for Mr. be leaving best candidate as the very best result of the very best judgment of the very last hour. That this is true is shown, for instance, by this resolution, unanimously adopted by the Mississippi Democracy on yesterday— a convention which, by the way, elected a delegation strongly inclined to Senator Davard: ‘Resolved, That our delegates to the Demo- cratic National Convention be instructed in | the spirit of the foregoing resolution, and to cast their votes for that man whom they shall tind, after full consultation with the delegates from the other States, will best harmonize the opposition to the longer continuance of un- constitutional and unwise methods of the Re- publican party. Again, ex-Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, Who is chairman of the delegation of that State, made this sensible decla- ration: The convention would not have elected any man supposed to be Gommitted to the for- tunes of any candidate, and the delegation to-day fully expressed the sentiments of their constituents, and he doubted not would re- main uncommitted until they had an oppor- tunity of conferring withthe delegates from’ all the States in Cincinnati. This is wise. And this spirit will lead to an invincible ticket. THE SUICIDAL SEASON. With the return of the heated season and the blood fermentation incident there- to, the work of self-destruction on the part of the human family begins. The daily list of suicides has been largely augmented Within the past week. Singular as it may seem, a fellow who can calmly sit down and contemplate his woes and his poverty in mid-winter, at .a time when life is a_ bitter struggle, Will incontinently blow off te top of his heal as soon as the weather gets warm, food abundant and the demand for clothing limited. Life can be sustained much easi- er in the summer than in the winter, and one would naturally think that most dis- contented people would manage to shuttie off late in the Fall, at the threshold of the expensive season, rather than at a time when nature smiles, the birds sing and strawberries retail at five cents a quart. The fact that they do not is evidence that the hot sun aggravates brain disorders, magnifies physical sufferings and produces bile. One day this week an ex-Alderman of Dubuque killed himself; Col. Morton, of Quincy, blew out his brains; an old man at Vanceburg, Kentucky, emptied his sorrows | into the Ohio River, and Mr. Robert T. Gray, a traveling salesman fora St. Joe jnercantile house, shot himself to death in a Kansas City bagnio. This was the most singular freak of the suicidal season. With all the world before him, it was strange, indeed, that this man should have deliberately added to the folly of suicide a disgrace which will make his name odious among those who would glad- ly have honored his memory for the sake of the associations of better days. The case Of Mr. Gray should be a warning to hundreds who are treading the same down- ward path. The life of the commercial traveler is one of irregularity and peculiar temptation. This one had probably wasted himself in dissipation and riotous living. When the realization of the extent of degradation came the desire to get out of the world overshadowed all sense of shame and propriety. There is no such thing as measuring the remorse which could drive a man to death amid such shameful sur- roundings, and this poor fellow is perhaps entitled to a little of that pity which the world so sparingly deals out to the sinful and the unfortunate. ABOUT the most amusing figure in Euro- pean politics is the pestiferous Garibaldi: About every six months we are pathetically informed that the red-shirted disturber is being carried off dramatically to die. Shortly after that we hear that he is mar- ried again, has started another revolution or has purchased a new home with the pro- ceeds of the soldi contributed by his ad- mirers. But neither poverty nor disease can stifle the old iconoclast’s fecundity in the matter of proclamations. There is no given state of circumstances under which he cannot be depended upon to fire off a sky-rockety appeal to somebody to do something desperate. Even when reported in articulo mortis the customary diatribe may be looked for.. The reassembling of the Italian Parliament the other day was a fine occasion, and he embracedit. He de- nounced the name of Victor Emanuel, called on the maccaroni Nihilists to de- mand a dissolution of the army and the starvation of the priests and advised them to hiss the parliamentary supporters of the crown. His inflammatory appeal was seized before it saw daylight and a great revolution was averted. Asa *‘Superfla- ous Lags,’’ Garibaldi is the superior of Gortschakoff. He has been of service to Italy in his day. His advocacy of extreme measures has brought about many moder- ate reforms,but his usefulness is at an end. A broken-down, petulent, chronic growler, it would be better for his reputation and better for his country if the summons to depart should reach him before he has fur- ther opportunity to disgrace himself. FROM the best lights before us we place the delegation standing: Tilden, 19; Morrison, 4; Seymour, 3; Bayard, 1; Thurman, 2; Han- cock, 1.—[ Republican. Where are the figures and names? We published the name of every delegate in about his detail with information status. Why does our esteemed contem- porary not dothe same? If Mr. Tilden has nineteen instead of nine delegates, why not publish the list of names in detail, as we did? We did not hesitate to print the names of the twenty-one anti-Tilden men, and do not for a moment doubt that our esteemed contemporary is only joking our When it claims that Tilden has _nine- teen and Bayard only one dele- gate. If Mr. Bayard has but one friend in the delegation, as the Republican claims, it becomes quite interesting to know who that solitary person is. Is it Mr. Given Campbell, for instance, the President of the Bayard Club, or is it Mr. Charles W. Francis, who is a first cousin of Mr. Bayard? Or isit Mr. Jackson, of Saline, son of ex-Governor Claib Jackson, whois an avowed Bayard man? Or is it another delegate who is known at one time to have championed the cause of the Delaware Senator? The truth is that Mr Bayard has at least a half dozen strong friendsinthe Missouri delegation and could easily secure the ma- jority of itif the situation at Cincinnati points to him asthe most available man. And under no circumstances will Mr. Til- den receive the votes of more than one- third of the delegation. ——— AN attempt was made inthe House yes- terday to strike out of the appropriation bill the clause authorizing the Secretary of War to negotiate with the legal heirs of Generals Bragg and Polk for the private papers and letters of these officers in their possession bearing on the late war. After considerable discussion the motion to strike out failed. The pretext for this expendi- ture is that it is necessary to have the ma- terial for a correct history of our great civ- ilwar. As amatter of course no correct history will ever he written. An absolute- ly correct history is impossible, and if one could be written, it wouldn’t be likely to satisfy a large element of our population. If the heirs of Bragg and Polk are anxious to see the illustrious names of these sol- diers properly placed on the scrolls of the nation they will present the Government with the papers and letters in their posses- sion. Not long ago some of the frayed-out descendants of George Washington ap- ernment at a handsome figure.a lot of | vention together to hear the report of the ere historical. peared in Washington and sold to the Gov- Washingtonian relics. As the patriotic Representative from Wisconsin puts it, this hawkirg and peddling of papers around the Capital, like cabbage, with the view to helping the country to ‘an ‘‘impartial his- tory,’’ is growing just a bit tiresome. The impartial history is likely to costa great deal more than it will be worth. A DISPATCH from Washington announces that the friends of the decaying Tilden cause in that part of the country are very much prostrated by the failure of the Mis- souri Democrats to indorse Uncle Sammy’s political paper. They had been given to understand by John G. Priest that the Mis- souri Democracy was in the habit of using Mr. Tilden’s name to conjure with and that nothing but another Marshfield cyclone could keep them from shohting hosannas tohis name at Moberly. The complete collapse surprises them. THE question is often asked why newspa- pers pay so much attention to politics. This is a tough conundrum. Our only excuse just now is that there is nothing else in the newspapers, and if we don’t talk about poli- tics we will be forced to print love romances, and nonewspaper was ever able to make a living at that sort of thing. THERE is talk of calling the Moberly Con- on resolutions. The com- mittee threatens to bolt unless something is doneto smooth its dignity. If the conven- tion is recalled we would suggest Rolla or Joplin as the place of meeting. able committee WHILE New York City is sweltering under a temperature of 95° we of St. Louis are en- joying cool breezes and wearing light spring overcoats. We have cool and refreshing rain while all New England.-is crisped and parched by drought. St. Louis is fast coming to be re- garded as a summer resort. Mr. MEDILL’S great Chicago newspaper claims to be devoted to spelling reform as well as beating the third-term, and yet the word symphony is allowed to go in as originally de- signed in Gothic, when everybody knows that it looks twice as sweet and toothsome when spelled ‘‘simfoni.’’ THAT terrible scourge, the army worm, has made its appearance in the agricultural dis- tricts of Southern Indiana. This will help the Grant boom. The necessity for a great military leader will be made strikingly appar- ent. CLEOPATRA’S needle has been shipped at Alexandria, Egypt, for New York. It will reach here in time to be of service in darning the rent in the Republican party. _.

A Discussion on Ship Canal Locks) Tay Bridge Disaster and Wind Pressure. -_ — Important Committees Appointed—Tor- nado Talk---Usual Resola- tions of Thanks. A. ee _ Excursions This Afternoon---A Banquet This Evening---The Last Day of the Convention. } , The last aay’s session of the Twelfth An- nual Convention of the American Society of Civil Engineers commenced this morning at 10 o’clock, Capt. James B. Eadsin the chair. The attendance was comparatively slim, but the proceedings were of unusual interest. After a few announcements by the secretary, Mr. Bogart, the reading of papers was pro- ceeded with. SHIP CANAL LOCKS. The first one was read and prepared by Mr. Ashbel ‘Welch and was entitled “Shi p Canal Locks and their Gperation by Steam. ’’ Mr. Welch prefaced his paper by remarking that engineers had given little attention to the subject of canals,but that since the project for an American interoceanic c anal had been started moreinterest was evinced. Thegreat difficulty in making sbip, canals is the locks, their enormous expense and dangers or the every way objectionable and expensive, deep cuttings to avoid them. When the reader was in charge of the Delaware and Raritan Canai he turned his attention to a system of working the locks, opening the gates, valves, wickets, and hauling the ships by steam, He appiied steam power tothe locks, thirteen in number, and it at. once in- creased the capacity of the canal 50 per cent. Accidents,not unfrequent before, have not oc- curred since. The apparatus was so strong that it has never broken and never needed re- pairs. Steam cannot be used im locks made after old models and inthe old style, but for ship canals locks of extreme dimen- sions with thirty feet lift, so that the largest ship can be hauled rapidly by a steam engine, can be constructed. Mr. Welch then described a proposed lock 400 feetin length by 80 feet in width, with 30 feet lift, through which the largest ships could easily, safely and rapidly be hauled, il- lustrating the plan with designs. ‘The prin- cipal point on such a lock was the foundation. European engineers proposed as the foundation of a lock concrete, and concrete only. That was vicious, for concrete cracks, and if there was an earthquake it could not be stop- ped. He proposed concrete laid first and a timber platform, American fashion. This would be a double safeguard. Timber alone is incomparably safer than concrete alone, but both together they make a_ certainty. European engineers would reject the wooden platform without examination, but if they had American experience. they certainly would not. The power iequired to movea ship weighing wfth its cargo forty millions of pounds, or 2,000 tons, three feet per second, and break the inertia in about a minute,would be about 200,000 lbs strain on the rope.A rope ecable3 inches in diameter round the drum worked by an engine would do. One third of the power would belostin the engine itself and in the transmission. The ship could be hauled into and out of the lock in about five or six minutes with safety. W hile the ship was in the lock breaks should be applied to the rope to. break it. The ships should not be allowed to touch the sides of the locks or the gates: that should be asina qua hon. The application of steam power to locks was no longer an experiment. The cost of such a lock in this country would be $1,600,000, or $2,000,000 at the Isthmus of Panama, and it would cost $50,000 to run itannually. Mr. Welch concluded by saying he would not express any opinion as tothe routes suggested for Inter-oceanic Canal, ex= cept that a level canal through a valley sub- ject to floods was certainly to be opposed. THE JETTIES. The next paper was read by the secretary and prepared by Mr. Max E. Schmidt. con- cerning the jetties. It was brief, andas fol- lows: At the request of Mr. L. E. Corthell, Resi- dent Engineer, Mr. Max hk. Schmidt, member ofthe society, submits as an addendum to his paper of last year, the following brief note relating to the maintenance of the channel at the South Pass jetties and the general condi- tion of the works: At the head of the passes the 50 foot channel is now 450 feet wide, with a least depth of 50.1 feet. The improvement during the last year has been constant and more marked than at any period heretofore. At. the jetties proper the channel has again improved in depth and width. There «has not been a single day in the last five months in which the thirty-foot channel has been found deficient, and during that time the dredge boat Bayley has been in service only eleven anda half days, when work was required near the sea end of the jetties, where slight fluctuations in the bottom nominally closing the thirty-foot channel must be ex- pected to take place owing to the action of the waves and the aftleet of storms upon the mouth. But, the consolidating now in progress at the ends of the jetties once completed, there will be a permanent central depth of thirty feet and more, Which will be wholly maintained by the action of the current and require no dredging. No examination has been made of the Gulf bottom immediately seaward of the jetties since December, 1879, When a comparison with the survey of 1876 showed an average scour of 710,687 cubic yards, amounting in totai to an average increase of depth of 1.22 feet. Since 1875 the inmerease in depth over an area almost identical with the one just named has been 1.1 feet. The construction of the concrete capping on the east jetty is nearly tinished, including the p@apet which crowns the blocks. The con- crete work will ultimately extend overa dis- tanee of 5,159 lineal feet. commencing at a point 6,500 feet from the castern land’s end and terminating at the sea end. The net amounts of material used in the construction of the jetties are as follows: 13,000,000 feet, board measure, of lumber: 60.000 cubie yards of willows: 100,000 cubic yards of stone: i,°81.47 cubic yards of concrete for blocks and parapets: 375,000 feet, board measure, of pal- metto logs. Mr. Crocs, at the conclusion of the paper, remarked tbat the convention would be glad to hear from the Chairman on the subject. Capt. Eads responded by stating that the statements of Mr. Schmidt were substan- tially vorrect. ‘The channel had been de- ficient occasionally at the sea end of the jetties to such an extent as to require a few hours’ use during tne day of the dredge boat to remove it. This was caused by the fluctuations of wind and tide. When the works were completed there would be inacouple of years thirty-two or thirty-three feet as the full depth of the chan- ne . “Cheap Transportation versus Rapid Trans- itand Delivery,’’ by Mr. M. Coryell, was read by its title. Mr. Ashbel Welch read a paver on ‘‘The Tay Bridge Disaster.’’ He did not propose to discuss the a Bridge, vut only a single suggestion raised by the disaster. The paper suggested thatthe calculations for the press- ure of wind on structures were not based on the correct principles; that a structure had el on ican Convention has never yet been bulidozed. really to resist a greater pressure than is ap- plied to its mere surface. Mr. R. E. McMath & paper on **The read Practical Consequences of Variations of the | ; Wet Sections of Rivers Under General anq Special Conditions.’’ 3 WIND PRESSURE ON STRUCTURES. At its conclusion, a short discussion which had followed the reading of the Tay Bridge paper was resumed, Mr. Theodore Cooper stated that engineers knew nothing of what wind pressure was, Their knowledge of the pressure of wind wag derived from atable to determine the rela. tion between the velocity of the wind and its | heat, which had been prepared rom experiments conducted upon a rotary whee] upon which the surface was one foot square, and the ules by - which the wind pressure was calcu. lated were made by theoretical forthula. Engineers would recornize that if they were to build. important structures something more definite was required to de- termine the wind’s pressure. ‘i'he speaker then discussed four important points to be considered injcalculating the wind’s pressure. He referred fully to the rythmie effect of winds, and in conclusion stated that General Meyers, of the Government, Meteorologicat Bureau, bad received an appointment from Congress to make experiments to arrive at scme exact knowledge ofthe pressure of the wind. Gen. Meyers Was anxious to hear from engineers ard receive sugzestions as to the. experiments they de- sired end deemed best. In conclusion Mr. Cooper. remarked that when in England be had visited the Cumberland Vi- aduct, a similar structure tothe Tay bridge, and had thoroughly examined it. He had come to the conclusion that if the Cumberland Viaduct met sucha wind as prevailed in this country—not a tornado—but an ordinary high wind, it would probably share the fate of the Tav Bridge. Mr. Robert Briggs thought the problem of the pressure of winds upon structures one of extreme importance. Oneof the most im- portant considerations which the engineer has before him is the question of what resistance Ry — offers to the pressure of the wind. Col. C. Shaler Smith moved that a com- mittee of three be appointed by the chairman to correspond with General Meyers in rela- tion to this subject and tosubmit to hima number ofexperments they would like to have made. Mr. Briggs seconded the resolution, which was adopted, and the chairman appointed Messrs. Shaier Smith, Theodore Cooper and Robert Briggs as such committee. Capt. Eads said one suggestion he would throw out was the consideration-of the pres- sure of the wind with regard tothe height of a building. The velocity of the wiad was greater as it ascended. The pressure is generally estimated as from thirty to fifty pounds a square foot, but ona tower 200 feet high the pressure would be far greater at the top than at the base. TORNADOES With regard to tornadoes, which sometime: exert such enormous foree near the earth their action is generally limited toa very smal! space. It is not possible nor proper toincur thé expense of providing against such a tornado as lifted a locomotive from the track near the ezstern endof the St. Louis Bridge. The chance ofatornado striking the bridge was infinitely small. : Mr. Shaler Smith remarked that he and Prof. Nipher had gone over the track of the Marshfield tornado and he related the results he had found. The tornado developed atone point a pressure of 58 lbs to the square foot. A piano was lifted and car- ried some 270 feet and placed on its feet with- out any serious damage. Mr. Robert Briggs described the meteoro- logical causes of a tornado. Capt. Eads remarked that the St. Louis bridge would resist a pressure of 100 pounds per cubic foot. ” Mr. Francis detailed some facts about the Havre de Grace disaster. To make a bridge safe it should be as strong laterally as ver- tically. ° Mr. Smith said the difference be- tween the American bridges and English was that the former were coastructed to resist aforty-two pound pressureand the latter twenty-one feet. That was the milk im the cocoanut in the Tay Bridge disaster. Z Mr. Cooper asked the Western engineers if they could give some information which was desirable, especially in kngland. There bad been a discussion in England upon the subject of river boats. The distinctive point in American steamboats wasthe ‘‘hegframe.*’ The society would like commu: ications from Western engineers on the subiect. The following committee of seven Was ap- pointed to prepare a memorial to Congress asking that engineers be placed in full charge of all works ef public improve- ment carried on at Government expense, viz. Charles. McDonald, chairman, {J. J. R. Croes, Albert Fink, Julius C. Hilgard, Thos. C. Clark and A. Dempster. Several invitations addressed to the conven- tien were read by the secretary. Prof. Wood- ward on behalf of the University invited the | members to visit the training school and to inspect the system of electric clocks. A resolution of thanks tothe various rail- roads, associations, corporations, ete., which had extended courtesies to the members of the convention was adopted. paper on **Quebec Harbor Improve- ments,’’ by Mr. J. Vineent Browne, was read bv its title. A resolution returning thanks to the local committee on behalf of the .yisiting members was unanimously adopted. An executive session of the society was an- nounced to be held atthe Lindell. The sec- retary read the programme for the afternoon excursions. ‘apt. Eads invited the members of the con- vention and the gentlemen of the press present to pass a few pleasant moments at his house this —s and the convention adjourned sine die. Lhis Afternoon’s Excursions. This afternoon was passea by the members of the convention in visiting various points of interest in the citv and _ vicinity. Four different excursion parties were arranged. ‘The first party was in charge ofa committee consisting of Capt. O. IH. Ernst and D. MW. Currie. They started from near the foot of Washington avenue at 2:30 on the steamer A. A. Humphreys, through the kindness of Capt. Oswald H. Ernst. They proceeded to Horsetail Dike to inspect the latest practice in the improve- ment of silt-bearing rivers. The second party, underthe direction of Mr. Chas. A. Smita and M. L. Holman, committee, started in carriages at 2:00 on a visit to the pipe foundry and general iron works of Shickle, Harrison & Co., Llarrison Wire Works, Lafayeite Park, Compton Hill Reservoir, Sbaw’s Garden as Et Brewery and the St. Louis Smelting and Refining Company. Party No.3 was ia charge of a committee consisting of Mes- srs. Theo. Allen and J. W. Meier. It set oui at the same time asthe others in carri- ages, inspecting one or more typical Western river steamboats, Peper and St. Louis Cotton Compress Companies, the St. Louis Cotton Mill and Anheu- ser Brewery. The fourth excursion party started at 2:0 in carriages and visited the St. Louis Lead and Oi! Works, the works for the Preservation of Timber, the St. Louis Fair Grounds and the American Wine Com- pany. The arrangements for the party were in the hands of a committee consisting of Messrs. A. HI. Blaisdell and P.W. Shaumlesfel. The special committee for the day composed Messrs. Chas. A. Smith, Bbeodore Allen and A. H. Bliasdeil. To-Night and To-Morrow. This’ evening the annual subscription din- ner will take place at Masonic Hall at 7:30 p. m. Captain James B. Eads will also hoid & reception at bis house. Arrangements bave been made for an excursion to-morrow to the bridge across the Missouri River at Plattsmouth, Nebraska. All the members will leave town by to-morrow evening. Malicious Trespass.

While there is a steady amount of routine bus- iness, the volume is small, and, speaking in general terms, dullness 1s prevalent. The sup- ply of money is large, there beinga steady flow of funds in and very little out. Rates of dis- count continue easy with a certain implied ir- regularity, although 5@6 per cent on call, and 6@8 percent on prime commercial bills, is as near the correct quotation as can be given, Eastern exchange rules very steady and was dull to-@duy at the almost nominal quotation of par between banks. Among the brokers thefday was decidediy inactive. Government fours were strong and higher, selling ina small way early at 108%; attér 12 o’clock the quotation by the gold and stock wire jumped suddenly to 109%, and al- though at this hour of writing there is no change made a great déalof doubt is express- ed astoits genuineness.

Wheat—The May corner (?) wasin abad way, to-day, the shorts having it all their own way, as none of the ‘‘squeezers’’ had nerve enough to attempt to sustain value. A complete let down followed, with sales at $1 09 to $1 067%, but somewhat firm- er at the close, when $107% was paid. The cash grade was of course affected by this decline, selling at $1 O7'{@1 06%.

WILTZ. -—- The Chief Executive of Louisiana Dis- cusses the Political Situation. -— — The Pelican State for Hancock---An Era of Peace and Prosperity. The Hon. Louis A. Wiltz, Governor of the State of Louisiana, is in the city, and will remain at the Lindell Hotel until to-morrow evening. He has been at Washington for two weeks, and is now on his way to Denver, Col., to attend to some private buiiness, from whence the Governor will proceed to New Orleans. Gov. Wiltz is well acquainted with the business men of St. Louis, having visited this city two or three times during the con- struction of ~~. and having renewed acquaintances at’ the Mississippi River Con- vention held in Newrleans. The gentleman was at the Merchants’ Exchange to-day, under escort of Charles E. and A. W. Slayback,the former being an old busi- iness associate. In conformity to the custom that has obtained under President Smith’s administration, the reception tendered the distinguished gentleman was ofa social and purely informal nature. Governor Wiltz is one of the leading business men of New Or- leans and vice-president of one of the most substantial banks ef the Crescent City. The very large majority by which he was elected to be chief executive of the great State is an evidence of the hign regard in which he is held. Buta very short time ago A NUMBER OF HIS FRIENDS clubbed together and purchased an elegant residence in New Orleans for $15,000, which they presented to his wife. Gov. Wiltz is, in appearance, rather young. He is of tall and commanding figure, with very aark hair and eyes and long, dark whiskers. His manner is easy and pleasant, and he would be takenfrom a crowd as a representutive Southern man. A reporter of the POST-DISPATCH held & conversation on ’Change to - day with the Governor, the question veing propounded and answered between introductions to the business men who surrounded him, ‘*How are affairs generally in LouisianaY’ qneried the reporter. The Governor heard George Bain tell a story of a man who went down in- to one of the ecaissons when the bridge piers were being located witha bottle of whisky, which he drank with the exception ofa few spoonfulls; how he recorked the bottle when he wasin ap atmosphere having a pressure of thirty-nine pounds to the square inch, and how the bottle exploded ss soon as the man returned to the surface of fhe earth. He Jaughed heartily, and thenyeplied; “I can say that affairs are all quiet in Louisianaln a political point of view. and prosperous ina commercial view. Our farmers are satistied | — the situation, and we all recognize that ARE NOW BETTER OFF than we have been at any time since the war. [Yes, Iam happy to meet you, Mr. Rowland, l remember you as being at the convention. That bodv did no harm.] Our State is now thoroughly in line, and Vemocratic under all circumstances. [lam very happy to meet you, Mr. Wahl, I will drive through the parks with you with pleasure. The scenes of 1876 can not be repeated under the present state of aflairs, for we are in peaceable control ofthe State. As to tbe position of Louisiana, I canonly givemy opinion {I am pleased to meet you,Mr. Smith; 1 have heard a great dea) of you since you were elected president of this Exchange]; for 1 was not at home when the convention met. This I know, that HANCOCK IS THE FAVORITE ofthe Lonisiana Democracy, but they go to Cincinuati unpledged, and whether their man is nominated or not, they will cheerfully sup- port the successful candidate, and Louisiana wiki send her votes to the electoral coliege for the &mnominee, gwhoever he may be. ‘ne issue is squarely made up. We know wow that we haye Grant to beat, and at Cin- cinvati we must nominatea man whocan do that.’’ Atthisjuncturea dozen merchants arrived who desired to be introduced, and amidst the general handshaking and _ inter- change of platitudes, the reporter withdrew. AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD TORNADO. An Attempt to Make the City Pay for Some of Its Damages. The suit of Mary Flori against the city was in progress to-day in Judge Thayer’s room of the Circuit Court. She and her husband had a stall in Centre Market in 1872, and on the evening of March 30 of that year part of the market bvilding was blown down by a storm. A nhumber of people were hurt, among them Mrs. Floti, who had a leg broken amd was otherwise injured. She sued the city for $10, - 000 damages. Others also sued the city for injuries received at the same time, and the aggregate amount claimed in this way is about $00,000. The case of Mrs. Flori is the first to come to trial, and upon its fate the others depend. Judge Henry A. Clover appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Leverett Bell for the city. Thetheory of the defense is tnat the storm that blew down the building was inthe na- ture of A TORNADO, and therefore the accident was a Providential and unavoidable one. The plaintiffs, howev- er, set up that the market buiiding was oid, rickety and unsafe, and that 1t was the duty of the city to see that it was taken down or made secure, Mr. Bell strengthened the defense very much this morning by introducing an account-of the storm that blew down the market, pub- lished in one of the city papers the morning ufter the occurrence took piace. The article is headed “The Tornado—Great Destruc- tion of eps gated Last Night,’’ ete. It was two-thirds of a columnin length and gave a detailed account of the ravages of one of the worst storms that ever visited the city. ‘Che Chouteau Avenue Mill, some buildings on Taon avenue, @ railroad round-house in Kast St. Louis and a ferryboat onthe river were destroved and many people badly hurt. Chief Sexton and Prof. Tice both testified for the defense, and both pronounced the storm to be in the nature of a tornado. The case will not come to an end before late this evening. a The latest thing is Black and Tan, at Lewis & Groshon’s.

The fact is the interest in the presidential contest fairly overshadowed the State issues, and the candidates, Who were present in force, were unable to interest delegates with their claims. Harry Snyder of the Seventeenth Ward was among the most prominent delegates from St. Louis, and did a good deal of work for his faiend and school-mate Tom Hendricks. Mr. Ed. Wilkerson was the chairman of the delegation of the Second Congressional Dis- trict and the anti-Tilden victory was largely due to his firmness, energy and sagacity. Messrs. P. J. Woodlock and Thomas R. Garard did a good deal of solid work without making apy noise about it. There were few delegates in the convention who worked hard- er or with more effect.
