Consternation Over Ayoob Khan’s Victe- rious March—Foreign Flashes. India. LONDON, July 31.—A Bombay dispatch to the Standard says now that the effect of the first shock of the Candahar disaster is over, the situation is regarded as much more favor- able. It is now admitted that the garrison of Candahar ought to be able to hold its ground with ease- A private letter from Candahar dated the 18th instant describes the effect of the news of Ayoob Khan’s advance across Helmund as already very considerable. Merchants and well-to-do people were bury- ing their property and preparing to leave the city. NOT SO CRUSHING. GUETTAH, July 31.—There is no news direct from Candahar. The natives’ accounts do not describe Gen. Burrows’ defeat as crushing. They state the British cavalry and artillery were lured by the ene- my’s cavalry feigning a retreat into an ambuscade where Aykoob Khan’s army at- tacked them inflicting a severe loss. Gen. Burrow’s whole force then retreated. These particulars require confirmation. The forces retreating from Rahman and Dubrai posts have been relieved from Chaman Choki. England. LONDON, July 31.—A dispatch from Cabul says the news of the disaster had had no effect yet on affairs at Cabul. Matters are pro- gressing as before. The newsis very imper- fectly if as all known to the Afchans. THOT Tele roe toe says: The firet batch . s morning says: The first batch of reinforcements will sail from England Tuesday,and before the end of September the last of the 4,500 men we are sending out will have landed at Bombay.

THE HANLAN MATCH, The Sportsman this morning says: We have received the second deposit of £50 fer the Hanlan match on behalf of Trickett. France. PaRIs, July 31.—The Cote Europeenne, speaking of the agricultural show, says it had hoped for a better harvest.. The present crisis is partly due to a lack of facilities of commu- nication with America, and that journal ad- vocates remission of taxation, improved means of transportation, and revision of the land tax. During a storm yesterday the new masonry gave way in a portion of the main sewer under repairin the Boulevard St. Nichol. The pavement fell in opposite houses, No. 79 and 81, and the cellars were flooded. The gap in the road way is twenty yards long and twenty yards deep. ®@flicials state that it will be im- possible to prevent No. 81 from falling into the Catacombs. Italy. RoME, July 31.—The Osservatore Romano publishes a circular letter of Cardinal Nina, Papal Secretary of State, tovarious papal Nunciog, in reply to the circular of Frere Or- ba», Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs, concerning the publication of documents which passed between Belgium and the Vatican. Cardinal Nina accuses Frere Orban with premeditatedly breaking off relations withthe Vatican. He adduces numerous facts refut- ing the charge of double dealing against the Vatican made by the Belgian Minister and accuses Frere Orban of having party aims. South Africa. CaPpE TOWN,July 31.—Parliament has been prerogued. Governor Sir Bartle Frere in his speech attributed the failure ofthe confed- eration policy tothe unsatisfactory settle- ment of Zululand and the annexation of Transovaal. Russia. LONDON, July 31.—A dispatch from St. Petersburg says the latest news from Tash- kend does not indicate that any very urgent preparations are making by China on the Kashgar side. Ten thousand regulars are ex- pected to occupy Kuldja. Many Europeans, including Englishmen, are in the province of Djitishar. Montenegro. LONDON, July 31.—A Scutar! dispatch says: Four battalions of Montenegrins attacked the Albanians Wednesday and were repulsed. The Princess Louise.

NEW YORK, July 31.—Dr. Tanner is soma- what weaker and less lively than yesterday. He passed a restless night, sleeping but little. Twice tefore daylight he was given small draughts of mineral water, and about 5 o’clock he had an attack of nausea and vomited mucus. The effort prostrated him for a time,but he afterwards expressed relief. He received a miniature coffin,this morning, and remarked that he had no use for such an article just yet. At noon he entered upon the thirty-fourth day of his fast, confident and hopeful. Indications. WASHINGTON, D.

CHICAGO, July 31.—The Times this morn- ing publishes dispatches from a large num- ber of places in the spring wheat growing sec- tion of the Northwest, from which it appears that while the spring wheat crop in Northern Illinois and Wisconsin is infevior, the yield in Minnesota and Dakota will be unprece- dented in quantity and quality. Good judges estimate the product in Minnesota at 44,000, - 000 bushels. In Dakota, where the berry is unusually large and solid, a yield of from fif- teen to thirty-five bushels per acre is expect- ed. Harvesting is in progress in many places. A Ferocious Dog’s Attack on a Young Lady. Special to the Pust-Dispatch. MARIETTA, O., July 31.—While a Miss Goodman, who resides in that portion of the city called Texas, was feeding a large New- foundland dog last evening, the brute seized her, threw her to the ground,and succeeded in biting ber in severa) places, principally about the feetand limbs. Hercries brought several neighbors,whe drove the animal away. Libel Suit. CINCINNATI,July 31.—The libel suit against the Freie Presse, a German morning daily here, was entered in the Superior Court to- day by Conrad F Ablers. The alleged libel consisted inacharge of the defendant that the plaintiff had turned his aged father out of doors. Crop Prospects. Several prominent grain dealers were in re- ceipt of telegrams this morning from Western Missouri and Kansas giving the intelligence that bountiful rains had fallen last nicht and yesterday afternoon and that the new corn was secured. The wheatisall in stock cro or thrashed andis out of danger from wet weather, 80 that the rains that come now can do no damage but a great deal of good. Itis now an assured factthat the Missouri corn yield will be fully as large, if not larger, than it was last year. Thisisall the farmers can ask. The only evil that can follow is a low price for corn in market. The Probate Court. In the Probate Court this morning Charles Seits, the surviving executor, filed his final receipt on the estate of John Kupferle. In the matter of the estate of John F. Tolle, the order of sale given to sell real estate on the 24th of June last was renewed, and the prop- erty will be sold on the second Mon- day of September next. Samuel W. Forder, the guardian of Lewis P. Andrews, received sn order of payment, and satisfaction was acknowledged by his ward. The will of Babette Gethelf, disposing of about $1,200 worth of property, was probated. The Toole Fund. There were no additions to the fund to-day. Chief Sexton, who was appointed to secure a home for Mrs. Toole, says he has done noth- ing in the matter as yet. He is waiting until she looks around and indi some prefer- ence, and them, pas by will make the best se possible. — sg z / - : ia % ‘S Say n a m 5 be cure : Se = ye: ti ‘ ‘ — Vahey “partly ; i dMlpaients rain, southerly ‘ | Mattie Hunter and Sorrel!

The trotting meetirg to be held at the Cote Brilliante track from September 28 to October 1 is in the hands of the ‘St. Louis Trotting Club,” which bas been formed during the past week. Col. Charles L. Huntis president of the club, Ed Martinand T. H. Rockwood vice-presidents, Joseph Garneau, Jr., trease urer, Capt. Lewis A. Clark s8é- cretary, and Samuel Eeker general manager. Under the management of these gentleman, a successful and popular meeting is assured. At a meeting of the club held last evening it was decided to hang up between $8,000 and $10,000 in purses for trotters and pacers. Allelasses from three minute to free for aH will be given a chance. There wil] be two great paciag races, one for pacers in the 2:22 class and the other free for all. On the last day there will be a free for all pacers and trotters for a urse of $1,000, which may be increased to 2,500. This is rather a nove) race, but it will bring outsuch flyers as St. Julien, Darby, Capt. Ciark saystbat Maude S., Trinkett and other turf sensations will be here. The St. Louis Club ropose to pay any attention the ocney, that her association claims the same date for her meet- irg as St. Louis. Somebody at the head of the Quincy Club has _ acted in very badfaith. The files of the sporting papers since last March show that Quiacy claimed Septemper7 toll. She then fiads out that that is the week of the Mianeapolis fairs which she could not hope to successfully oppose. She then setsup a claim forthe dates named by St. Louis. Capt. Clark said this morning, *‘Quincy can do all the claim- ing she wants to, St. Louis will have her meet- ing on the adveitised dars.” A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING. The Western Club havea social picnic down the river to-morrow. The Mississippi crew were out Friday even- ing and rowed in excellent ferm.

Mr. Joseph Peters and W. A. Stickney have oined the Modoc Club, and were out f or their first pull Thursday evening. They are both eating their breakfast off of the mantel- piece. The St. Louis Kennel Club members are engaged in a shooting match at the Lucas farm this afternoon. They are using birds.

The Museum of Fine Arts, the munificent gifttof Mr. Crowtothe University, situated on the corner of Nineteenth and Lucas Place, is very nearly under roof. Thereisso much inside work, bowever, that the Museum will not be ready for occupation until after the 1st of January, and possibly much later. It will be strictly a museum—a permanent exhibition of paintings. sculptures, etc. No school will pounes any partof the building. A few studios will be rented to leading ar- tists, and the upper partof the structure wiil contain the most splendidly arranged bdllin town, which Mr. Woodward thinks will be ready for the commencement exer- cises of the University next January. Mr. Halsey C. Ives and Mr. Engler are now in Europe, purchasing paintings, sculptures, etc., to be placed inthe museum. The Manual Training School, a new, feature of Washington University, will open on Sep- tember the 6th. The institution is a novelty in the West, and is exciting a great amount of attention. This course of study is such as to combine regular ciass- work with thorough, systematic shop-work and instruction in the use of tools. Pupils will be taught to use a plane In the same manner that they are taught to usea pen. No specific trades will be learned, only the use of tools. The building Is fitted out with workshops of various ay ny over $6,000 worth of machine tools, run by a Cor- liss engine, have been already secured. It is notexpected that every pupil will become a mechanic, but he will acquire sttch knowledge as will enable him to understand the various trades and machines. Among Insurance Men.

NEw YORK, July 29.—Now that the quality of Knickerbocker gentility has received a re- spectably rank flavor from the grand boon of an ancient hieroglyphical stone, and the mel- low headsof old families may revel in the thought of delightfully quiet afternoons un- der the monolith’s clammy shadow, while testing old claret beneath a bandana handker- chief or French varasol—the awful question bas arisen and keeps arising, of what to do with it. Folks out West have plenty of room, but no monoliths—here there is too much obelisk and not enough room. The thing should be equalized some way. If New York should in turr present the Needle to St. Louis we could give them a carriage-drive ail round to Shaw’s Garden, and gratefully and gladly present them East St. Louis and the Dyke, with the municipal tangles of several years back. Ifthere is anything New York actually has an appetite for it is a muni- cipal cobweb, with achance to play spider. The investigating committee flutter from one eligible site to another—said investigating a l- ways involving a crab dinner and cham- agpe, with a mile or two of the park to see f the natural mound is still there, and back they come to the starting point to wrangle and fight over the location for the obelisk. Everybody has an opinion, and no two people agree. The question has bred coldness be- tween old school-fellows, who don’t speak now, and has otherwise played the mischief with the dozy quiet of mid-summer Gotham. As for example, you run across a friend on the gang-plank of a steamer or ferryboat. Instead of an amicable exchange of thermom- eters, it is **‘What’ll we do WITH THE OBELISK?’ And, after all, we are not very authenticated inour movements. We scarcely know wheth- eritoughttogo up in New York or not. Those who are directing the transplanting act in the picturesquely nervous way of a very young hen, who, in laying the foundations of a family, flies from the barn to the hay-rick and back tothe raspberry hedge in foolish uncertainty as to when to begin. Commisioner Green holds very sensibly that, as it seems settied that the stone is to be elevated in the park, it should be erected ouaplazaat the Fifth avenue entrance to Central Park, ona tlat surface, as it was in Egypt. It seems probable that some council will prevail to have it stand semewhere very near the Museum of Art building—ultimately and already full an imposing place, of cullos, Which shall be de- scribed some time scon for your edification. Wm. H. Vanderbilt will bear all expenses attendant upon the removal and re- setting of the obelisk, which wiil be suflicient creatness for him. This section has been reveling in thunder storms ana clearing showers iately, to the ercat deligi tof everybody, as the grateful change lightened up chat PAKBOILED FEELING which bas prevailed fer a month. Oyster signs make ove actually ill, and all soris of people are beginning to pooh-pooh Tanuer’s feat. Nobody wantstoeat when the pitch roofs are melting and a cat pound being erected under the personal = supervi- gion of dear old benevolent Bergh, whose grave will no doubt be nightly watched by grateful cats for this move. No one man in this century has been sworn at and anatLematized so much as this same jolly old soul, who weeps at the sight of a blind brindle. One shudders to think of what life would be without Edison or Bergh. Both have enemies. Bergh may strain thingsa little when he stops sixteen cais on the University Place LLine—the most aristocratic tramway in the citvy—because 8 horse has an aggravated case of corns, but he has done wonders in the amelioration of their condi- tion, and every starved and beaten horse in New York City has one faithful friend, and if there is such a thing as a heaven for dray and car horses, Bergh’s statue will probably be builded there higher thanany obelisk on earth. That wretched Balbo, the craven-hearted Italian who murdered his wife, is again un- dergoing spasms of fright as he tremblingly nears the approach of his eternity—the sixth of August. The fatal death watch has been set, which meansa surveillance of Sheriffs which shall only cease at the breaking of tne noon. Balbo comes from a land full uf the graves of the old masters, and is a representative of poetry and sculpture, and yet he is a pitiable wretch now, and lacks eventhe fortitude of the negro Cox, who manfully met his fate. To be sure, be seemed a little more certain of the forgiveness of Christ than Balbo, who thinks only of leaving a world so full of good things and cheap monkeys, and cannot make up his mind to doit calmly. He says he feels all de time VERRA BADDA, and prays forthe Governor every night, and hopes to receive bis clemency. The sooner the country is rid of such butchers the safer weshail be. The Italian was ina frightfully abject condition the day that Cox was executé ed, and neg aed suffered a hundred deaths . ‘ o na AN ~@ENERAL A | ° 4 “ ’ _ 4 ; | Full Text of the Letters of Han- which | , ) cock and English. Conservative and Patriotic Expositions of Democratic Principles. GOVERNOR’S ISLAND, NEW YORK CITY, July 29,°1880.—GENTLEMEN: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your let- ter of July 13, 1880, apprising me formally of my nomination to the office of President of the United States, by the ‘**National Demo- cratic Convention,’’ lately assembled in Cin- cinrati. I accept the nomination with grate- ful appreciation of the confidence reposed in me. | The principles enunciated by the Conven- tion are those I have cherished in the past and shall endeavor to maintain in the future. The thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States, embodying the results of the war for the Union, are inviolable. If called to the Presidency I should deem it my duty to re- sist with all of my power any attempt to im- pair or evade the full force and effect of the Constitution, which, in every article, section and amendment is the supreme law of the land. The Constitution forms the basis of the Government of the United States. The powers granted by it to the legislative, executive ann judicial department define and limit the authority of the general Government; powers not delegated to the United States by the Con- stitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, belong to the States respectively or the people. The General and State Govern- ments, each acting In its Own sphere, with- out trenching upon the lawful jurisdiction of the other, constitute the Union. This Union, comprising a General Government with gen- eral powers, and State Governments with State powers for purposes local to the States, is S peeiy the foundations of which were laid in the profoundest wisdom. This is the Union our fathers made and which has been so respected abroad and so beneficent at home. Tried by blood and fire, it stands to-day a model form of free ~ eregy government, a political system which, rightly administered, has been and will con- tinue to be the admiration of the world. May we not say, nearly in the words of Washing- ton, the unity of government which consti- tutes us one people is justly dearto us. Itis the main pillar in the edifice of our real inde- pendence, the support of our peace, safety and presperity, and of that liberty we so highly prize and intend at every hazard to preserve. But no form of government, however care- fully devised, no principle, however sound, will protect the rights of the people unless the administration is faithful and efficient. It is a vital principle in our system that nei- ther fraud nor force must be allowed to sub- vert the rights of the people. When fraud, violence or incompetence control, the noblest constitutions and wisest laws are useless. The bayonet is nota fit instrument for col- lecting the votes of freemen. Itisonly by a full vote, free ballot and fair count that the people canrulein fact, as required by the theory of our government. Take this soundation away and the whole structure alls. Public office is a trust, not a bounty be- stowed upon the holder; no incompetent or dishonest persons should ever be intrusted with it, or if appointed they should be promptly ejected. ‘Ibe basis of a substantial, practica] civil service reform must first be es- tablished by the peoplein filling the elective oflices. If theytix a high standard of qualiti- cations for office, and sternly reject the eor- rupt and incompetent, the result wiil be de- ) cisive iv governing the action of the servants whom they intrust with appointing power. The wee for the Union was successfullv closed more than fifteen years ago. All classes of our people must share alike in the blessings of the Union, and are equally coa- cerned in its perpetuity and in the proper sdministration of public affairs. We are in a state of profound peace. Henceforth let it be our purpose to cultivate sentiments of friendship and not of animosity among our fellow-citizens. Our material interests, varied and progressive, demand our constant and united efforts. A sedulous and scrupulous ‘care of the public credit, tozether with a wise and economical mamagementofour governmental expendi- tures,should be maintained, 1n order that la- bor may be lightly burdened and that all per- sons may be protected in their rights to the fruits of their own industry. The time has come to enjoy the substantial benefits of con- ciliation. Asone people we have common in- terests. Letus encourage the harmony and generous rivalry among our own industries which will revive our languishing merchant marine, extend our commerce with foreign nations, assist our merchants, manufacturers and producers to develop our vast natural re- sources and increase the prosperity and hap- piness of our people. If elected I shall, with the Dtvine favor, labor with what ability I possess to discharge my duties with fidelity, according to my con- Victions, and shall take care to protect and defend the Union, and tosee that the laws be faithfully and equally executed in all parts of the country alike. I will assume the respons- ibility fully sensible of the fact that to ad- minister rightly the functions of Government is to discharge the most sacred duty that can devolve upon an American citizen. I am, very respectfully, yours, WINFIELD S. HANCOCK. To the Hon. John W. Stevenson, President of the Convention; Hon. Joha P. Stockton, Chairman,and others ofthe Committee of the National Democratic Convention. Mr. English’s Letter. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., July 30.—Hon. Wm. H. English transmitted the following letter of acceptance of the nomination of candidate for Vice-President to the Committee of Notifica- tion to-day: INDIANAPOLIS, IND., July 30, 1880.—To Hon. Jobn W. Stephenson, President of the Convention, Hon. John H,. Stockton, Chair- man, and other members of the Committee of Notification: GENTLEMEN—I have now the honor to re- ply to your letter of the 13th inst. informmeg me that I was unanimously nominated for the office of Vice-President of the United States by the late Democratic National Convention, which assembled at Cincinnati. As fore- sbadowed in the verbal remarks made by me atthe time ofthe delivery of your letter, I have now to say that I accept the high trust with a realizine sense of its responsibility, and am profoundly grateful for the honor conferred. I accept the nomination upon the platform of principles adopted by the convention, which I cordially approve, and I accept it uite as much because of my faith in the wis- om and patriotism of the great statesman and soldier nominated on the same ticket for Pre-ident of the United States. His eminent services to his country, his fidelity to the Con- stitution, the Union and the laws, his clear perception of the correct principles of goy- ernment astaught by Jefterson, his scrupu- lous care to keep the military in strict subordination to the civil authori- ties, his high regard for tivil liberty, personal rights and rights of property, his ac- knowledged ability in civil as well as military affairs, and his pure and blameless life, all — to him as aman worthy of the confi- ence of the people. Not only a brave soldier, a great commander, a wise statesman and a pure patriot, buta prudent and painstaking, practical man of unquestioned honesty, trusted often with important public duties, faithful to every trust, and in the full meria- ian of ripe and vigorous manhood, he is, in my judgment, eminently fitted for) the high- est officeon earth, the Presidency of the United States. Not only is he the right man for the place, but the time has come when the best interests of the country require that the party which has monopolized the Executive Department of the General Government for the last twen- ty years should be retired. The continuance of that party in power for four years longer would not be beneficial to the people or in { | :*s ae eae 7 i , accordance the spirit of our Repu blican institutions. “Dawe of entail isve not been favored. fu ment. The. ~~ y oe under the same party that perpetrated them. otton or forgiven. Mary of the men now in office were put there because of corrupt partisan services in thus defeating the fairly and legally expressed will of the majority, and the bypocrisy of the professions of that party in favor of civil service reform was shown by ee such men in oftice and turning the whole brood of Federal oftice- holders loose to influence the elections. The money of the people taken out ofthe pub- lic treasury by these men forservices often poorly performed or not performed at all is being used in vast sums _ with the knowledge and presumed sanc- tion of the Administration to control the elections, and even members of the Cabinet are strolling about the country mak- ing partisan speeches instead of being in their i, agg we at Washington pt pee the public duties for which they are paid by the people; but with all their cleverness and ability a discriminating public will no doubt read between the lines ef their speeches that their paramount hope and aim is to keep themselves or their satellites four years long- er in cftice. That perpetuating the power of chronic Federal oftice-holders four years longer will not benefit the millions of men and women who hold no office, but earn their daily bread by honest industry, is what the same discern- ing public will, no doubt, fully understand, as they*will also understand that it is because of their own industry and economy and -God’s bountiful harvests that the country is comparatively prosperous, and not besause of anything aone by these Federal office- holders. The country is comparatively prosperous not because of them, but in spite efthem. This contest is in fact betwven the people ager ee to regain the political power which rightfully belongs tothem, and to restore the pure, simple. economical constitutional government of our fathers on the one side, and 100,000 Federal oflfice-holders and their backers, pempess with place and — and determined to retaia them at all azards, onthe other. Hence the constaut assumption of new and dangerous powers Dy the General Government under the rule of the Republican party. The effort to build up what they calla strong Governmeht; the interference with home rule and with the administration of jus- tice in the courts of the several! States; the in- terference with the elections through the me- dium of paid partisan Federal office-holders interested in keeping their party in power,and caring more for that than fairness in the elec- tions; in fact, the constant encroachments which have been made by that partv upon the clearly-reserved rights of the people and the States will, if not checked, subvert the liberties of the people and the Government of limited powers created by the fatbers, and endin a great con- solidated central Government, strong indeed for evil and the overthrow of republicanin- stiButions. The wise men who framed our Constitution knew the evils ofa strong Gov- erpment and the long continuance of political power in the same hands. They Knew there was a tendency in this direction in all govern- ments, and consequent danger to republican institutions from that cause, and took pains to guard againstit. The machineryofa strong, centralized government can be ufed to perpetuate the same set of men in power from term to term until it ceases to be a republic, oris such only in name, and the tendency of the party now in power in that direction is shown in various wavs; besides, the willingness recently manifested by a large number of that party to elect a President an unlimited number of terms is quite appa- rent, and must satisfy thmking peop'e that the time has come when it will be safest and best for that party to be retired. Butin resisting the encroachments of the General Government upon the reserved rights of the people and the States, I wish to be dis- tinctly understood as favoring the proper ex- ercise by the General Government of the pow- ers rightfully belonging to it under the Con- stitution. Encroachments uponthe consti- tutional rights of the General Government or interference with the proper exercise of its powers must be carefully avoided. The Union of the States under the Constitution must be maintained, and it 1s well known that this bas always been the position of both the candidates on the Democratic Presidential ticket. It is acquiesced in everywhere, now and finally, and forever settled as one of the results of the war. It is certain beyond all question that the legitimate results of the war forthe Union wwl not be overthrown or im- paired should the Democratic ticket be elect- ed. In that event, proper -protection will be given in every legitimate way to every citizen, native or adopted, in every section of the Republic,in the enjoyment of all the rmghts guaranteed by the Constitution and its amendments. A sound currercy of honest money, of a value and purchasing power corresponding substantially with the standard recognized by the commercial world, and consisting of gold and silver, and paper convertible into coin, will be maintained, the labor and manufactur- ing commercial] and business interests of the country will be favored and encouraged in every legitimateway. The toiling millions of our people will be protected from the destructive competition of the Chinese, and tothat end their immigra- tion to our shores will be properly restricted. The public credit will be scrupulously maintained and _ strengthened by rigid economy in public expenditures, and the liberties of the people and the property of the eople will be protected by a Government of aw and order, administered strictly in the interests of ali the b opt and not of corpora- tions and privileged classes. I do not doubt the discriminatiug justice of the people and their capacity for intelligent self-government, and therefore do not doubt the success of the Democratic ticket. Its suc- cess would bury beyond resurrection thesec- tional jealousies and hatreds which have so long been the chief stock in trade of pestiferous demagogues, and in no other way can this be so effectually accomplished. It would restore harmony and good feeling between all the sections and make usin fact as well as in name one people. The only rivalry then would be in the race for the development of material prosperity, the elevation of labor, the enlargement of human rights, the pro- motion of education, morality, religion, lib- erty, order and all that would tend to make us the foremost nation of the earth in the grand march of human progress. I am, with great respect, very truly yours, [Signea | WILLIAM H. ENGLISH. Crossing the English Channel. | From the Boston Herald. | The proposed cbannel tunnel between Eng- gland and France seems likely to be built. One shaft has been sunk to the required depth, and it is asserted that in about eigh- teen months at least two and a half miles will bave been bored under the channel and that the work will be completed in four years, probably by boring from each end. There are evidently, however, contingencies, such as a breakin the rock, which may destroy the whole enterprise. Meantime another boid scheme for crossing the channel contemplates a lime of steel tubes sixteen feet in diameter bailasted so as to weigh one and one-quarter tons to the foot less than the water displaced, and held at a depth of thirty-five feet below the surface (so as not toimpede navigation) by being anchored by chains to caissons suak to the bottom. Through this floating tunnel of twenty miles or so it is proposed that rail- way trains shall pass. govern: “Sor! oie *% Riga CaM i ee ae Bight witid sane e t wes 7 4 ied the abe ved aislody no knew; . 7 pped as the vabe she . - 3 | 7 = , a Ue.

What the Authorities of Paris and New | from the New York Times. | American and English ladies are much more venturous in adopting styles than French ladies. Many of the fashions brought out in France are not ingeneral use there until they have been employed sometimes for two or three years in Engisnd or America. This has been exemplified by the use of large hats and small capes, and the latest example is in the present use of hoods on the back of garments. English ladies have worn these hoods for the past three years, lined with bright colors, and at present they are the rage in Paris. There is a great difference, however, in the cut of the garments over which these hoods are worn, the French being much more elegant and graceful. The small visite with a hood is in great demand. The hood is generally lined with plain, striped or checked bright colored silk. Waists ‘tala Vierge’’ are still in general favor, ee whenthe material is light like surah or *“‘yoilede nonne.” A toilet of the last named goods, which 1s most suitable for a blonde, is thus made: The ‘‘voile”’ is of the most transparent kind. The skirt is trimmed with gathered flounces, which have shirred headings, and are bordered witha trimming of deep “point d’Alencon’’ lace. The front and sides of the skirt are covered with flounces. On the upper partof the dress is a tiny scarf, having a small square end fall- ing down the back. This is slightly draped, and drawp through chenille ioops, with gilt threads intermixed. The pointed waist has a surab Par sony mes. the upper part of which is shirred, the lower part forming on the point microscopic gathers. On tne back is a bow which forms the basque. It is of plaited surah, gathered ‘‘voile,’? and shell-shaped lace. This bow, when well made, is some- thing quite novel, and can not be imitated by any but an expert hand. All the old styles are now brought out as novelties. Antique shades, such as Titien red, Veronese green, pheasant green, and lapis blue, are to be the fashionable colors next winter, These huesseem very odd after the pale tints, such as sky blue, flesh color, and water green, which are so much Worn at present. A most peculiar matinee is made of Veronese green surah. Tbe small garment is shirred witha kind of straight cachemire vest underneath. The surah sleeves havea high trimming on the shoulder. A toilet combining all the novelties of the season may be _ describedasfollows: The round skirt is of surah marveilleux, in faded beliotrope color. The large plaited flounce is covered with crossed draperies, which are fastened inthe back. The **surcot Veronese”’ waist is of silk knitted work. It laces in the back, and the lower part is covered q@ith a drapery matching those onthe flounce. The surah hood is flat and trimmed with satin ribbon. ‘The small straight collar is of helio- trope velvet, embroidered with gold. The cuffs are of the same velvet, trimmed to match. Very showy small visites are worn. Some of these are of brass colored plush, trimmed with fringes of gold beads; others are of surah, embroidered with beaded flowers, and bead ornaments fall loose over the gar- ment. Small mantillas of purple surah are embroidered with beads in the same color. White toilets retain theirfavor. ‘*Mousse- line de laine’? is more popular than anything else. It has several names, such as “‘voile de nonne”’ **voile de l’Inde crepe,’’ and others. The material is light and supple. White batiste is also among the favorite materials. These suits bave often scarfs of flowered foulard, which add much totheir beauty. One of these dresses, just made in Paris for an Italian Countess, was a white batiste skirt, plaited to within sixteen inches of the waist, where the plaits were fastened by tem rows of shirrs. On the middle of the skirt was a pio® surah scarf with printed de- signs of butterflies. This was fastened in the back, a little toward the left side, in a small puff. The shirred waist opened in heart shape over the oOreast and in the back. On the inside of the front piece was a crepe plaiting. On the outside, both back and front, was a lace trimming. The shirrs on the waist extended over the basque, and the waist was marked by a piece of waite rep ribbon with a buckle, a littie to- ward the side. Around the neck was a neck- lace of small mixed flowers, which also form- edamedaillionin front. ~° Light blue and pink Fe a with blue, pink, and corn-colored stripes, make very fresh-looking summer toilets. They are trimmed with white lace and very large rib- bon loops. Suits are also to be seen of cream- colored *‘voile,’’ with stripes and threads running through the goods in gray, red, green and brown. Suits of ordinary wear are made of madras in large red and biue checks. Thereis quite an ait in making mgt and checked goods well. When badly disposed they are = to make astout person look. larger, or a slight figure seem too small. In consequence of this, all plaid goods, whether of silk, worsted, or linen, are cut and trimmed in about the same way. The flounces are rather deep, with the stripes across forming a bordering above the het). The double apron has a striped border- ing. This may be replaced by —" points, which form an open tunique. The tunique and ends, in the back, are trimmed with cor- ners ofthe checks. The apron may be cut bias, or plaited lengthwise, alternating with plain stripes. Drinking Water. iFrom Hall's Health Journal. | Sir Henry Thompson advises tourists in Europe to drink mineral waters exclusively, and when these cannot be obtained—which rarely happens at any tolerably good Conti- nental hotel—tea is asafe substitute. It is so if the water usedin makiog it has been boiled, the last-named condition only insur- ing the safety ofthe drink. He thinks that tourists owe their attacks of fever more to drinking water contaminated by severage matter than to the malarious influences which pervade certain districts of Southern Europe. The only water, safe for the tray- eler to drink is _ natural miner- al water, and such is now always pro- curable throughout Europe, except in very remote or unfrequented places. In the latter circumstances no admixture of wine or spirit counteracts the poison in tainted water, and makes it safe to drink, as people often delight to believe; but the simple process of boi! ng it renders it appeone harmless; and this re- sultis readily attained in making weak tea, to be taken in making toast-water, lemonade. hot or cola, or barley-water and —_—— ~ e The Number of Rich People in Paris.

Lud Anglesey Comes of a PrOfligate Family. {From the New York Times. | The theories as to hereditary traits advanced by Mr. Galton do, undeniably, often receiys curicus confirmation. An acute observer no. ticed this in the Southern States long before Mr. Galton’s days, and in avery interesting selies of articles, printed sixtv years after hig death, in**Notes and Queries,’ referred to the distinguishing traits—good and evil—whie) marked old Soutbern families. This is reca}}. ed by the Wetmore- Anglesey tragedy in Paris, Lord Anglesey may be blameless, but the pre. sumption in the minds of Englishmen, a feast, will be against him in view of the reputation of hia family. There seems to be in the blood ofthe Pagets an unconauerable tendency to banker after their neighbors’ wives, and probably no family in England supplies such a copious crim. con. record. it is, in truth, not overstating the case to say that a large - roportion of the worthiest families in Kng. and would regard with dismay the marriage of one of their daughters with a member of that ares io view of the disgraceful record of connubial infidelity which attaches to it, With some most honorable exceptions—nota- bly Lords Clarence and Alfred Paget—the name is associated with everything that is un. ype and profligate.

Ong was concerned three months ago, in a most discreditable gambling atfair. Another is notorious as a gambler who married a woman he believed to be rich to bolster up his shat- tered fortunes; and now it 1s asserted that the disappointed mistress of the head of the house killed herself inthe apartments ofa divorced woman (who, albeit styling herself Lady Albert Pelham Clinton, has no right to the name), in Paris, on account of his broken faithto her. And what was Lord Anglesey’; last appearance in public? Why,in answer, by bis attorney, toa Police Court summons for assaulting an attornev’s clerk who had- tried to servea writon him!

A Duel Fought to the Death. iFrom the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times. lt A duel was fought near Jacksboro, Camp- bell County, Tuesday night, which resulted in the instant death of the two principals, John W. Bibee and B. F. Roach. The difli- culty originated over a political discussion, they being champions of the respective can- didates for Sheriffin that county. They first met on the streets in Jacksboro, and a heated discussion ensued, followed by blows, when the combatants were separated by bystanders. They then agreed to meet Tuesday night a few miles from town, wher they would end their difficuity with pistols. The particulars of the duel are as yet unkaown, it being be- lieved that no one witnessed the traedy. Bibee was shot through the neck and Roach through the breast. Their instant death fol- lowed. Bivee was about nineteen years of age, theson of a very prominent citizen of Jacksboro. He was fora number of vearsa student atthe University of Tennessee, aud intimately associated with and a classmate of the Jocal editor of the Times. We can testify to his many good merits, Iris honest, straight- forward character and his dauntless bravery. When not unduly excited. he was as mild and gentle as a child, but his nature was fiery, his spirit hasty and impetuous. Roach was 4 married man, and leaves a large family. How Garfield’s Penmanship Was Ac- quired. |From the Washington Republic.1] He set upalittle wriing school in a rude log cabin and threw into the work the fervor of apoetic soul and a strength of heart and spirit that few men possess. He caught his ideals of beauty from the wayes of the lake, and the curves they made upon the white sand of the beach and from the tracery of the spider’s web. Studying the lines of beauty as drawn by the hand of nature, he wrought out that system of penmanship which is the model of our schools. A MAN at Norristown, Pa., believed that his wife’s illness was caused by witchcraft. He performed some incantations over a horse- shoe, and put it into afire. At the same time a woman in the neighborhood was taken with a burning painin the chest. This came from the hot horseshoe, the man thought, and eda thut she wasthe witch. Asan ad- itional test, ‘he put salt under h:s door mat, and the suppesed witch stumbled when she entered, though nobody else aid. There could no longer be any doubt of ber guilt, and so he publiciy accused her.

WHRIG'S CAVE—Our Picnic. . ~— ey Dr. TANNER’S breath is said to savor of starvation, but, ‘n the language of the race track, he seems to have got his second wind. Our New York letter and the gossipy epistle of our tourist in Europe will be found to be excellent features of our pa- per to-day. —-—- -~ ——— SSS; ,_ — Hancock’s letter is not received with satisfaction in Republican quarters. Ow- ing to its lack of angles and general smoothness the able Republican editors are unable to take hold of it. Down in the Indian Territory the Creeks and Cherokees are threatening to annihi- late each other in pursuance of a feud growing out of the murder of a small boy. This sort of thing ought to be encouraged as a means of settling the civilization problem. ‘Tie Republican party of Missouri wants a first-class candidate for Gover- nor,’’ shouts the organ this moraing. There would be no fitness in this. It would be like providing a second-class freight train with a first-class passenger conductor. GEN. WEAVER has permanently injured his political prospects by indorsing the doctrines of the National Socialists. Mill- ions of people who would have voted for him on account of his willingness to give everybody a carpet-bag full of greenbacks and a mule will be driven away because of his excessive sociability. a eee THERE is a section of the Revised Stat- utes of Missouri which gives juries discre- tion in the matter of punishing perpetrat- ors ofrape. Either death or imprisonment can be inflicted. There is thus no excuse for offended citizens converting themselves “ into executioners as was the case at Mob- erly the other day. eee Iv Gen. Hancock would write a brief supplemental letter declaring himself to ~~ be positively opposed to the payment of the rebel debt, the re-enslavement of the megroes and the pensioning of Confed- erate soldiers, he would allay the ap- prehensions of Senator Edmunds and a number of nervous persons who insist that these are all issues of the present canvass, As was generally predicted the Demo- cratic primaries in the Third District have resulted overwhelmingly in favor of Mr. Frost, and the convention which meets mg next Tuesday will have nothing todo but record the verdict. Mr. Frost’s experience in Congress now qualifies him to ably rep- resent the Third District. He ‘deserves the compliment of a renomination. That point settled, his election goes without saying. —_— —-— a e Tue St. Louis and Pacific road is now . a cc mpleted to Omaha and the first through ‘train will pass over the road to-morrow f might. This is one of the most important Wa Binks forged between this city and the | > great West for years and doubtless the » good effect of direct communication be- tween the two cities will be at once felt in hy St. Louis and in Omaha, while the whole 'y f distance to San Francisco has been much hy lessened. ~ ENGLAND is has ening her preparations Every dock-yard island is working Transportation for Afghanistan at once. The force A der Ayoob Khan is much larger than 3) Wis supposec, and the British in india, will have a hard time 9 vindicate their military superiority. What effect this sudden diversion of the English forces from Tarkey to Afgtanis- tan will have upon the Eastern question can not yet be told. One thing only is cer- tain, that Ayoob Khan will give the British plenty of work to do before he is definitely settled. He will be disposed of very ef- fectually in time, but time just now is what England has least of. STRANGE as it may seem, the Chicago Tribune busies itself with telling its read- ers how “that old skin-flint,’’ William H. English, the Democratic nominee for Vice- President, accumulated his fortune. He seems to have shaved some notes and mortgages in his time and to have closely collected the interest on his loans, but there is nothing to show that at any time in his life he received a fee of $5,000 for simply speaking to an influential person in behalf of a questionable paving enterprise. id In the case of the burned Sceawanhaka the Coroner’s jury finds that there would have been legs loss of life if the crew of the boat had been more thoroughly disciplined. In the matter of the Narragansett-Stoning- ton collision the public has rendered a ver- dict that there would have been fewer deaths, and probably no casualty at all, if the officers had possessed more skill, cour- age and presence of mind. This verdict may rot restore the deal but it will have some- thing to do with future ‘selection of steam- boats on the part of the traveling public. ae ee ——__ HANCOCK’S LETTER. Gen. Hancock’s letter of acceptance, which we print in another column, is lack- ing in length and breadth and in the frothy, ornate utterance common to the man who makes politics a trade; but it is clear and conclusive on the main points. The writer accepts the nomina- tion, stands unequivocally upon the Cin- cinnati platform and promises, if elected to the Presidency, to see that the laws are ex- ecutcd; that the policy of the Democratic party is carried out and that’ the country, so far as he is able to bring it abovt, is made to enter upon an era of perfect reconciliation and happiness. The custom which has sprung up among national candidates of writing grandiose letters of acceptance which affect to be interpretations of party platforms, but which are at best sinipisms for thé van- ity bumps of the writers, has been honored at astin the breach. Gartield,like the petti- fogger and special attorney that he is,makes an ambitious attempt at statesmanship in his letterand succeeds only in elaboratiag and burying beneath verbiage the well- known principles and aims of his party, as expressed at various times in platforms. goes directly to the point and modestly, as becomes a man whose life has been spent otherwise than in attending party caucuses and rally- ing around the ballot-box, indorses the platform which has been built for him and does not pretend to know more than the united wisdom which brought it into existence. Compared with his manly ut- terances the pedantic, conceited effusion of Garfield is as the bedecked and be- dizened drum-major beside the stern, thoughtful victor at Austerlitz in his red- ingote gray and cocked hat of the Brienne school. There may be some empty-head- ed people who will see in Garfield’s string of partisan platitudes the evidences of broad statesmanship, but the verdict of the country will pve that Hancock has said about ‘ll that is necessary and has said it in a practical and sensible way. His good name and record, the undying principles of Democracy, the demand for a change and the necessity for a vindication of the right of the people to elect a President is all thatis needed fora rallying point in this campaign, but if there are those who hunger for an exposition of Democrazy, or an interpretation of the aims and purposes of the party, they will find all they require in the Jetter of Hon. Wm. H. English, which is made apart ofthe case, soto speak. Mr. English isa gentleman who understands the formulation of phrases and who is accustomed to_the utterance of profound thought. Hapcock a ee ey THE experiment of cheap journalism is about to be attem pted again in this city. An afternoon paper styled The Evening Chronicle makes its appearance to-day un- der what we are pleased to consider favor- able auspices. The Post-Dispatcnu has for nearly two years occupied exclusively and successfully the afternoon field in this city. We flatter ourselves that we have filled our mission satisfactorily. Having established our paper firmly and made it a necessity to the business and reading pub- lic, We will regard honorable competition as something likely to prove beneficial, One difficulty under which the Post-Dis- PATCH has labored hitherto has been the lack of an afternoon journal with which it could be compared. Ovwdinary readers have been led to institute comparisons be- tween us and the older and larger morning papers, somewhat to our injury. The value of our telegraphic, local, commercial and general reading matter will be appreciated when an Opportunity is afforded to meas- ure it by the side ofa rival which, by reas- on of its small size, and lack of the press franchise cannot attempt to obtain or bulle- tin the news of the day. The experiment | of cheap journalism ia St. Louis is one which we shall watch with interest. There is a large population here which is indif- ferent to the daily press. This element may be induced to patronize a paper which commends itself through its cheapness, and it is in this field that the promoters of the present enterprise propose to labor. If they can introduce their paper into non- reading circles and create an appetite for news the larger newspapers, such as the Post-DIsPATCH, will be substantially bene- fited. As pioneers and educators in jour- nalism the publishers of the new paper are worthy of encouragement. Their experi- ment will depend on their ability to intro- duce and keep in circulation in this city fractional currency in the shape of pen- nies. The effort has been made more than once without success. We are glad to heag that in this instance it will be thor- ough and that the undertaking will have all the advantages that capital and energy can impart. _—_—_——_—— —-. | ee ee eee WITH a clumsiness almost amounting to the ridiculous the Radical organ in this city declares this mornimg that ‘‘if there had been no Democratic rebellion to sup- press there would have been no Gen. Han- cock to nominate, but in place of him a quiet captain, leading a life of pleasant va- erancy in the far West or teaching a class of cadets at West Point.’’ Lord bless your innocent soul, if it hadn’t been for the re- bellion where would Garfield have been at this writing? Teaching school or practic- ing lawinsome obscure country town, perhaps. And John Logan—who can calcu- late the benefit the leaders of the South conferred upon that rude campagnard when they plunged intorebellion? John might have been the chief engineer of an Illinois stock farm to-day instead of a Sen- ator eating three warm meals and putting on aclean shirt every day. Imagination fails to picture what would have been the probable fate of the dissipated ex-army of- ficer who used to haul wood into St. Louis from a little farm on the Gravois road if it hadn’t occurred. to the people of the South to indorse Zach Chandler’s theory that a little blood-letting was necessary to the health of the Republic. There is scarcely aman prominent inthe Republican party to-day who does not date his nobility and influence from the firing on Fort Sumter, and it is downright shabby to taunt Han- cock with the fact that his greatness was carved out of the greatest of modern wars, a -_— — a — - THERE is no counting on a mule—or an Indian. A few days ago we were advised that the Utes were betraying an unruly spirit and that it was altogether improba- ble that they would accept the treaty patched up for them by a Government com- mission. It appears, however, that the Uacompahgres have agreed to submit to the removal and Ouray gives the assurance that the White River and Southern Utes will shortly attach their signs manual to the document whereby the Colorado reser- vation is opened to white settlement. Several thousand enterprising pioneers and miners are now hanging around the outskirts of the reservation anxiously awaiting the exodus of the redskias. Im- migration to the coveted region is expected to be tremendous and when the tide sets in the country will doubtless begin to hear of numerous ‘‘magical cities’’ spring- ing up, like Jonah’s gourd, in a night. —_. ee ANOTHER American ship has been stop- ped on the high seas and searched by the commander of a Spanish man-of-war. To aggravate the insult the name of the ship is the George Washington. Complaint has been made to Secretary Evarts, butit is not probable anything very vigorous will be done to yindicate the dignity of the United States flag. Under Republican misman- agement our navy and marine service has become so weak and defenseless that almost any little power in Europe can board and inspect our vessels without fear of punishment. Spain has been especially insolent in this direction, another ship, the Silas Newcomb, having within the last month been compelled to heave to in def- erence to one of Alphonso’s men-of-war. The superannuated old scows that con- stitute the glorious American navy only serve to excite the derision of maritime powers. — NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that history and «xperience demonstrate that the average man is a fraud and entirely unworthy of con- idence, women keep right on marrying them and endowing them with their affection and their goods. The experience of ages counts for nothing, though the case of Mary Ste- phan, of this eity, ought to be worth some- thing as an awful warning. A few months ago Mary was the possesser of a lot of hard cash and was her own mistress. In an evil moment she was induced to enter into a matrimonial partnership with George Ste- phan. At his instance she purchased a flatboat and this moveable domi- cile became their joint home. The vessel was moored at the foot of Arsenal street. Mary, who has been acting as mate, now appearsinthe Circuit Court and asks for a divorce from the commander. She alleges that George recently threw a ket- tle of hot coffee in her face, that he frequent- ly beats her and threatens to shoot her, and she isin hourly fear that he will throw her into the river. As po vessel can get en with a mutinous crew of this character it is to be hoped that the court will burry up the case and give Mary her divorce and flatboat. After her unhappy experience she will probably conclude to fill the position of Captain on that craft herself. A NEW religious sect has been started in Jackson and Macon counties, Tennessee, by an inspired farmer named Sage. He insists on going about the country wearingas his proph- et’s mantle an old tow-sack literally covered with ashes. Hehas hit upon another idea— only second tothatof the sack and ashes; when he preaches he takes the sandals from his feet, saying ‘*This is boly ground,” and is imitated by the faithful. He has secured a following of two or three hundred persons in the heart of the most intelligent portion of the State. When Hawthorne once beard some neighbors extolling the popularity of a new- comer in New England, he dryly inquired ‘*Wittt new style of religion has he in- vented?’’ Mr. JOHN C. NEw, of the Indianapolis Journal, has added dignity to the campaign in Indiana by publishing a vicious editorial, charging that Gen. Hancock’s father was a bastard—the son of a man named Roberts, by bis housekeeper. Mr. New suggests that transparencies should be gotten out, bearing ihe inscription: ‘*For President, Gen. Win- field Scott Hancock Roberts.’’ It is now in order for some blackguard to retaliate by as- sailing the character of Mrs. Garfield. We must have spice ia our politics. Up in Cleveland, Ohio, the newspapers are complaining piteously about a horrible, nox- ious stench which rises nightly in the vailey of the Cuyahoga and spreads throughout the city, destroying sleep, planting the germs of disease and making life a burden. After the political canvass gets under way and the candidates begin slinging their stink-pots the citizens of Cleveland will feel better. The odors of the valley will commend themselves to their gentle senses, even as the balm of a thousand flowers. A BATTALION composed of nine men and a captain paraded the streets of the ci‘y this morning headed by fifteen musicians. The troops marched and executed their movements quite well, but owing tothe limited space no attempt was made to form a hollow square. THE Republicans have opened the cam- paign in Ohio with vigor. One of their Con- gressmen has pounded the teeth out of au in- fluential member of hisown party and the only thing wanted now to make things lively is for somebody to “kill a nigger.”’ NOBODY will accuse Jerry Black ofthe authorship of Hancock’s letter. When Jerry gets to work on a state paper he never stops until the ink bottle goes dry or his goose quill wears down to the feathers. THE press reports about the starving per- formance of the Minnesota fanatic might be improved by technically slurring over the references tothe vomiting of mucus and the craving for peppermint. Now that old man Bender has been actually bagged in Nebraska, there is little. pros- peet that Charley Ross wiil be able to hold out against his vigilant pursuers.

Realiz- ing the evil that must eventually result in the obtainance of these pernicious dogmas, he broke loose from the Republican party and devoted his talent and energy to the restora- tion of the large element of disfranchised citizens of our State to their proper and rightful position the vernment. It was at a time when he might have demanded and received almost any honor at the hands of the Republican par- ty, and no man in the State could have carried with him such weight and so successfully ac- complished the beneficent political revolution that redeemed Missouriin 1870. Since then be bas acted with the Democratic partv, and even in 1874, when such men as Glover, Broad- head ang votbers were wavering, he stood firm. He has never asked the Democratic par- ty for any eine. but bas been content to labor ina quiet and effective wav tor the great popular principles that underlieit. This is a fitting time to recognize his services, ability aud broad statesmanship. Noble Band of Biographers. {From the Chicago Tribune. | The biographers are at odds.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I would like to know why the Choutean av- enue street railway is the stuftiest and hottest intown. Never since the road was built has the slightest attention been paid to the com fortand convenience of passengers. The same old hearses which the company first put on the road have been furbished up and swept out every spring fora new start. If the line would Oouly put a few summer cars on, and remove those intolera- bie, flabby, hot red cushions out of the rest of theshecklv old carts, one might ride inthe things occasionally without being overcome with the beat. As it is, for u t2r discomfort and unnecessary penuriousness the Chouteau avenue line is as bad as the Fifth street, and worse than any other road in the city. LADY. Opposed to Secret Societies. NEVADA, Mo., July 29, 1880. Tothe Editor of the Post-Dispatch: In your valuable paper of the 28th inst. you ask the questien, ‘‘Is Masonry be- coming tainted with infidelity?’’ The reli- gion of Masonry is Masonry; and it differs about as much from the Christian religion as it does from the Mobammedan religion. And it is quite probable that the attempt of preach- ersto prove that Masonry is all, anda little more than the Christian religion, bas resulted in infidelity. I do not write this tor publication, but mere- ly to call your attention to these points. Anda if you are enough interested in the subiect to request it, 1 may find time to prove to you that all secret societies and all other societies that attempt and claim to do that whichis the duty and belongsto Christians to do are an- t»gonistic to the Christian religion, and have been the principal cause of the decline of the Christian religion in the nineteenth century. **The Salvation Army’’ isone of the sprouts from the seeds of infidelity sown more thana century ago.

He would communicate only to his superior at Wash- ington. **Will you not give the population in round numbers???’ **No, I cannot, under my oath.” ** How about this statement that it wili not be over 340,000? ‘“*Well, that is very nearly what it is. That is a very exact approximation.’’ Mr. Thompson was very willing, but en- ey unable to say anythiag. e says the a work will be finished by this day week. **What remains to be done?’’ “Only to complete the examination of the carriers’ lists. We are going to run down every manonthem and get each name iato one of these three categories. Already Ea- umerated; Not Enumerated but Entitled to Enumeration; Not Entitled to Enumeration. When that is finished everything is through.” Mr. Thompson went on to say that nobody outside of St. Louis and very few in it believed that we had anything like the population we claimed. He cited the case of the Berlin Board of Health, which ap- plied to us for our death rate. e sent our report based on 500,000. They scoffed atthe idea, and placed no reliance whatever on the report. r.

Tomasi Doanini is ining health and vigor from the music of the waves on the Eastern sbore. Miss Alice Lansden is reported by friends from this city as having made the most grati- fying progress with her studies under Signor Ernani, in New York. Mr. Phil Branson, the tenor, has can- celed his engagement with the Maurice and will remain in the city. The Exodus. At present there seems to be a lull in the negro exodus. Very few arrivals are chron- icled. In fact there is something of a move- ment to return on the part of the negroes. The cotton picking season will shortly begin, and the darkies always earn extra wages during that period. The probability is that three or four times the number will return as arrive during the next month. Sent to the House of Refuge. Thomas Craig, an intelligent boy of nine years, was up before Judge Dennison this morning on a complaint averring that he was an abandoned and improperly exposed boy. The facts showed that the little fellow, who possesses a remarkably pretty face, was not atall under the control of his parents, and owing to the efforts of the child’s father he was committed to the House of Refuge.

Interesting and Instractive Notes of Travel. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. GRAND HOTEL, VENICE, ITALY, July 4. —After putting such a glorious date at the top of this sheet of paper how can I look backwards to te)] you where we have been since I wrote last? I see, think, feel, hear, realize Venice, and only Venice. Tne beau- tiful fascinating city of the sea—surely she has won a place in my heart which must ever be first. Iam false even to my own dear New England birth- place, yet not so, for my love for Boston is that of a child for its moth- er, while Venice isto me what his beautiful mistress 1s to a true-hearted lover. Don’t sccuse your usualiy somewhat prosa- ic correspondent of sentimentalism, unless vou have been bere and have yourseif experi- enced the subtie, indefinable charm that takes complete bold upon one, and calls forth eve- ry particle of enthusiasm, however dormant it may have been for vears. [specially is Venice delightfully restful him whose head and heart is weary as well as his physical frame, for the perfect quiet calm that broods over the entire city is broken only by the melodl- ovs bum of Italian voices, or by the clear tones of the many church bells that so often cal} to prayer. There is not a cart or a beast of burden in the citv, except, { must in truth say, the women, who go about with poles balanced over their right shoulders, suspended from each end of which is a beavy copper kettle of ancient ap- pearance, in which they carry milk or water. I wondered a little where the water came from till vesterday, when, as we happy ‘Tourjeans were landing from our gondolas and passing through a sort of open square to Visit a cer- tain famous cburch, I saw a group of women, each with ber brace of pails,clustered around a mifsive stone well, which was raised above the ground by three or four steps. In the most primitive fashion they were drawing up the water by main strength and aniron chain. On the well was an inscription of which 1 could only make out the date, MDLVII. It was ‘from round about this well. by-the- way,andoutof the canal near by, where the litle ragamufiins had been bathing when we arrived, and whencé they quickly emerged and unblushingiv clad their supburned little bodiesin unmended shirt and trousers, thata dozen or so of the most comical young Venetians contributed greatly 10 our amusement, by turning the most ridi- culous somersaults on the steps of the | chureh, risking their craniume With uties ! delight, and tumbling over each other like ro many puppies after coppers flung by some of our wealthy party. Spch fighting and scram- bling and bumping of beads vou cannot im- agine. A copper gained went straightway into the cheek of the fortunate young speciu- tatur, giving their facesa very plump ex- ression and suggesting canker. Growing bolder as they saw our good humor—we were wailing for the key-bearer to the sighs of which we were in search—they crowded round us witb caps in hand and su:h Judicrous expression of happy-go-lucky bez- vary on their faces that many a penny was forth oming:; in every which instance there ensued ageneral knocking of heads among the rival claimants. Onevery bright young- ster bestowed such asiap upon the face of a jess brilliant brother in the csuse that the eense of retaliation was roused in the breast of a certain young lxudy from Milwaukee, wao seems to have constituted herself chief coun- sel, magistrate and executioner tothe entire party as wellastothe public at large, and who acted forthwith in her latter capacity, by ge’ boxing the ears of the young cul- pit. You sbould have seen the mixture of expressions on that dark young face as he formeda big but voiceless ‘*Oh!’? with his mouth, clapped his hand totbe punishe1 spot and then, with mischief dancing in his eyes, but with a very solemn air, wet his forefiin- ger in bismouth and rubbed his head, whica must have rung withthe blows administered by the hand of justice. But an instant later, seeing that be had roused our merriment by hiv droileryv, he made copiial of his misfortune by presenting his capinan utterly irresisti- ble manney, and with satisfactory results, I ould jadge, by the subsequent extension of his cheeks. Hiow can I tell you about our sigbt-seeing here? It is an impossibility,andit would only tantalize you, too. Itis only by coming and seeing for yourself that you can really understand, 1n the least. the wonderful! beau- ty of St. Mark’s, which is one gorgeous mass of exquisite mosaic, inside and out, but which is so rapidly falling to decay that the beautiful floorisatrap for the unwary foot, being sunken and uneven to a degree you cannot believe without either having or witnessing the experience of a young English girl, who was walking sedately in the church last Sunday, but, chancing to giance up at our assembled multitude. stepped onan in- clined plain of glassy stone, slipped and fell her whole length on the hard pavement. Her attendant raised her quickly, and she left the ehurch on his arm, butit is impossible that she should not have been badly bruised by such a fall. Totell you of the Doge’s Palace, of the Bridge of Sighs and the fearful dungeons; of the lofty Campanile with its endless inclined plane, up which Napoleon rode on horseback, and which—so says the conductor—the most delicate lady may ascend on foot, with its lovely view of the city as areward; ofthe many churches with their art treasures and the palaces of royalty—to attempt a description of these things is far beyond my pen or ambi- tion. but I do wish I could translate you into St. Mark’s Square on one of these lovely evenings, whem the military band is playing choice music, the shops making a most brill- jant display of all their tempting wares, and the people, native and foreign, walking about or silting atthe multitudinous little tab! ea‘ing Venetian creams andsippingicelw’ —. 1 wish I could take you with me ia one of ine softly-cushioned, gracefully-shaped sna deliciously-gliding gondolas, on the gieamipg, quivering waters, and that the gondoliers—who are most romantic, in- teresting fellows, whatever Mark T'waiao or anybody eise may say to the coutrary, but who can neither understand your good English nor your bad French, and with whom jou can converse only by recklessly astentinvg S91 si! 8ji!’? to all their kindly Passing wonders in the way of palaces, etc.—might row us for hours throuch this dreamland of perfect ecstacy, like which there is noting else inthe world, and beside whose charm even that of the, mighty watersof the great Atlantic fairly ales. I have told you how I love the ocean, Put Venice 1s now far deerer to me. I fall into gush here as natural as Wezg did, of old, into poctry, but to re- luctaptly chan the subject, 1 will tel) you that we t forget Independence Day. The principal object of life with the ladies of this firat section of the Tourjee- Gaze party of 1880, during the day spent at Trieste, before taking boat across the Adriatic Sea for Venice,was the procuring of red,white aud blue ribbone, and on Sunday morniog we eared with colors flying. atriotically a At fable *hote rT pees a vererabie Ameri who has lowg resided in nee, rove and-wit ‘af ropriate J aes 07 proposed a toast ip honor of the day, to which to explanations the Rev. Mr. Kean, of Pennsylvania, one of the Tourjeans, responded witha short ad- dress, in which the religious element rather prevailed over the iotic. ' One of the decorated our con- ductor - h our. national’ colors, and he, thoazh an Englishman, proudly wore them, but wae gather at a loss to hend the meaning of the profuse congratulatious which were showered upon him by an old friend whom he met in the Square, till he suddenly realized that the badge was fashion- ed exactly after the style of the ribbon of the Legion of Honor. When he told-us the story in his own comical way, we, of course, de- clared that he quite merited snch a decoration if bravery and valor in troubled times were any test. After all, I have written you nothing of our wanderings after a Obver-Ammergau a week ago yesterday, and with a single word Imust pass over gay Vienna, with its count- less attractions, lovely Adelsburg, with its wonderfully magnificeat grotto, of which no words could possibly give an adequate idea. but which I would not have missed for dozeas of galleries, whose oaly attractien isthe handiwork of man on canvas or marble, and the quaint seaport of Trieste. I cannot tell of the grand ride over Semmering Pass, with its splendid scenery, nor of the enthusiasm when the blue Adriatic first burst upon our view, nor yet—though I greatly regret it—can I describe our visit yes- terday to the Armenian Monastery, across the lagoon from Venice, forif I could give vou any real impressions of that delichtful piace and charmingly bappy brotberhood, every masculine individual who reads this letter would forthwith be loudly knocking for admission to its hospitable walls. Don’t blame me for being impressed. There may be a serpent among the roses, but I could see no trace of him. To-day we leave for Florence and thence for Rome, whence my a letter will be written. And now all those fascinating little shops with which Venice abounds are beckoning me irresistibly with their jeweled fingers,and if you only knew how hard it has been for me to stay up here and write to you this morning. A long journey through the perplexing passages and up and down the rambling marble _ stairways of this strange but lovely hotel, which was a fine old palace once, an exit bv the back door, anda short cut through the funniest and narrowest alleys which you can conceive, will bring one to the goal of my heart’s desire at this present moment. [So good-bye—alas, and alas !—good-bye from Venice. IDA CLARE. LOCAL CHURCH NEWS. Mr. E. W. Bliss will conduct a meeting at the Y. M. C. A. rooms to-morrow.

This evening America’s Mimics, Mattie Vickers and Chas. S. Rogers, make their final appearance at Uhbrig’s Cave. On Mon- day evening the celebrated original Span- ish Student troupe make their first bow to a St. Louis public. The Spanish Students consist of fifteen gentlemen whose remarka- ble playing on those peculiarly Castilian in- struments, the guitar and mandolin, created such a furore ip Paris and London. Mr. Hlenry Abbey, who has just signed a contract with Sarah Bernhardt for her ap- yenrance in this country, in conjunction with Mr. Hickey, secured the services of the Students fora twelve months’ tour in this conntry. So fareverywhere tbat these sous of sunny Spain have appeared they have creat- ed a sensation by the wonderful delicacy and precision with which they manipulate their stringed instruments. In New York, Boston, Cincinnati and Canada they have achieved a decided success. The following is froma Cincinnati exchange, where the Spanish stu- dents have been playing this week: They looked Jike some painting of the olden time some picture that might have been painted by Velasquez, as they stood grouped around their leader, all in black velvet; on their black shoes buckles, on the shoulder, across which the voluminous, graceful cape was thrown, a rosette of crimson and yellow ribbon; on their oa rege student caps,such as they have for.cen- uries worn inthose lands where students bave formed a separate and distinguished class,a giittering arrow, all these being so many points of brightness and color that bring out the richness and elegance that belong to bleck velvet. When they raised those caps at the signal of the leader, the audience, which Was quite large, took them into acquaintanceship, and there Is nota shadow ofa doubt but that every gentle- man there present will henceforth spend a goodly portion of his time before the mirror in practicing the graceful bow of the Span- ish students. It will become as fashionable as the arrow and the rosette became in Paris. And then the music they give isthe most de- cidedly original and sweetest one can ever dream of hearing. Wereit possible for one string to bring out so much harmony one could say that there was but one string touch- ed by all the hands, so perfect is the time they keep. The _ sec- ond piece they played seemed like nothing so much as the history of some im- prisoned and then freed bird, who at first plaintively sang as it fluttered its eager witgs sgaipst the gilded bars of its prison; then, re- leased at last, it fluttered first timidly into joyous fligkt, until, at home at last, it seewed 10 dance out its oe in dainty, tinkling, fleeting melody. e last piece given was “The Star-Spangled Banner,” varying sud- denly into the sharp, well defin notes of ‘*Yankee Doodle. ’”’ that they do not understand the words of these sopgs, because they made the instruments speak them. SCHNAIDER’S GARDEN CONCERT. Thefconcert given by the St. Louis Grand Orchestra last evening at Schnaider’s Garden was a meczuificent success. There were over 1,000 people present and the artistic excel- lence of the performance was all that could be desired. Herr Carl Venth, the young violin virtuoso just from Germany, was greet- ed with enthusiastic applause and had to re- spond to an encore each time he appeared. —_— — - The Greatest in the World. Without a question Buffalo, N. Y. can boast of the largest and most complete private sani- tarium inthe world. The Invalids’ Hotel was founded by Dr. R. V. Pierce, who has repre- sented his district as State Senator in Con- grees, and is known throughout the United States as the originator of Dr. Pierce’s Family Medicines, and who has also become widely celebrated in the treatment of chronic diseases. The erection of this mammoth home for inva- lids was made necessary by the large number of aftictea who flocked to Buffalo from all parts of the United States te consult Dr. Pirvrce and the eminent medical gentlemen ass ciated with him as the taculty of this celebrated institution. The establishment is said to have cost nearly a balf million of dollars and is farnished with every appliance und facility forthe care of chronic aiments. <A correspondingly large branch institution is located in London, Eng- land. The whole concern is owned and opera ted by the World’s Dispensary Me<ical Assoct- ation, of which the original Ur. Pierce ts pres- ident—his brother, an uncle and other eminent medical gentlemen taking part in the treat- ment of cases. In treating cases they are not at al} confined to the narrow limits of prescri- bing the justly celebrated remedies, Dr. Pierce’s Go den Medical Discovery, Pieasant Purgative Pellets, or any other set remediss, however good, but have resort to the whole ranee of the Materia Medica, as well as to Turkieh ana other baths, Swedish movements remedies and other approved aod methods of cure.

A Long List of Prominent Defendants Asked to Come Up’and Settle. The whole insurance litigation, has, in a measure, dropped out of the public mind since the developments made by the deposi- tions of Chas. H. Peck, JobnG. Priest and others, lastsummer. The old complications of the St. Louis Mutual, the Columbia Life and the Mound City Life have never been thoroughly untangied, and this morniag in the Circuit Clerk’s office a number of new suits were filed by different plaintiffs against the officers of ail the companies. Lewis V. Hake brings suit against George J. Davis, James Lupe, Eliza Stone, D. C. Stone, Joseph Bogy, Ben Williams and Norman J. Coiman, which is the starting point of the new litigation. The plaintiff, Mr. Hake, brings suit for himself and ali other poliey- holders and creditors of the Mound City Life, alias St. Louis, alias Columbia Life Insur- ance Company. The creditors are very num- erous, being over a _ thousand in number and claiming $200,000 = of debt due them by the many-named company. Hake himself claims by virtue of policy 7,341 for $1,191 19 in the St. Louis Life. He re- cites the following HISTORY OF THE TROUBLES: In October, 1877, the St. Louis Life was dis- solved by the court and Lazelie E. Alexander appointed rec:iver, with no assets to pay the debt of the company. Its mame was first ehanged to the Mound City Mutual and the capital made 900,000. In February, 1874, the name was changed to the St. Louis Life, and the capital increased to $1,000,000. In June, 1876, the pame was Once more changed to the Coiumbia Life. Soon after the increase of stock to $1,000,000 the petition alleges that the defendants James Lupe, Norman J. Col- man, Joseph Bogy, D. C. Stone, George J. Davis, Ben. Williams, and two other persons, A. M. Britton and 8S. W. Lomax, conceived the design of speculating on the stock of the company. All of the allega- tions which follow are taken from the body of the petition. These men formed themselves secretly into a **pool”’ or syndicate to obtain possession of the stock; they used the funds or the company to buy up this stock to the amount of several hun- dred thousand dollars, all of which was held in the nameof A. M. Britton as trustee for the syndicate, and bis personal notes were substituted for the funds as they were taken outin the purchuse of the stock, and were made payable tothe other members of the pool. THE BOOKS were purposely kept in such a confused man- ner that this couldgnot be found out. Some of the notes were endorsed by the syndicate and passed into the possessiou of tbe Pxchange Bank, where they matured February 12,1875, to the amount of $149,- 92740. To meetthis, the board of directors ordered Britton to make a note as president of the company for $250,000, which§was nego- tiated tothe Exchange Bank. A check was then drawn against this amount for $149,927 40 to pay the notes already matured, and Brit- ton’s note tor this amount was taken by the pool, unendorsed and guaranteed only by the worthless collateral of the stock. Britton be- ing himself insolvent atthe time,this note was passed back and forward until it becomes almost impossible to follow its migratiens on the books, aud Britton finally paid it wish stock of the company, which was worth nothing atall. Sothe plaintiff prays for this $149,927 40. Again,the petition states that Lupe, Bogy und Stone agreedto furnish siocks, bonds and securities to be exhibited to the losurance Superin- tendent when he made his eXamination in orderto impress him with the belief that they were owned by the company and that it was financially healthy: also for the specu- lative effect tnat this showing would have on the value of the stock, of which the pool held $287,900 at thistime. For this FRAUDULENT USE OF SECURITIES Stone received $2,497 50, Bogy $2,263, Lupe $753 45. This payment of $5,513 95 was a breach of trust, and piaintitf asks for its recovery also. Later the directors declared a divident of ten per cent and. the pool paid themselves $28,790 out of the as- sets of the company, when there was really no surplus at all, and the plaintiff asks that for this action the be made pay back $100,000, which is the full = of the ten per cent dividend then de- clared.

Spaunhorst, E. W. Bryant, James Lupe, Nor- man J. Colman, Joseph Bogy, Jas. M. Williamson, Ben Williams, James B, Kads, John 8. Horner, Elizabeth A. Stone, administratrix, Jacob Thompson, George J. DavisandS. W. Lomax, from whom is asked the comparatively small sum of $1,137,233 54, This is over the transaction by which the Life Association agreed to furnish George J. Davis with drafts to the amount of $1,111.898 34 and cash #130,- 401 66,for which they were to receive at least 9,400 shares of Columbia stock, and over $1,000,000 worth of realestate. The defcndants are the officers of the directories concerned, many of whom ofcourse know nothing about the transfer. Mr. John G. Priest. James L. Benson, owner of policy No. 519in the St. Louis Mutual Life Insurance Company for $165, alleges that John G. Priest was a director of the St. Louis Mutual Life in the latter part of 1873, and that he was offered $15,000 to forward the reinsurance of the policies inthe Mound City. Itis alleged that Mr. Priest accepted this money, that this was a betrayal of trust, and the plaintiff seeks to recover the full $15,000 with compound interest from Febru- ary 20, 1874. Wm. T. Lewis. Wm. P. Gettys enters suit against Benj. W. Lewis, administrator of Wm. T. Lewis, making the same aliegations against him which Benson makes against Priest, and,ask- ing the return of $20,000, which it is said was given Mr. Lewis under similar circumstances. All of these suits are brought by Mr. Robert Crawford, representing in toto over a mil! anda half of dollars. . _ You Are 1 25 Ahead.

The intermittent war which has been waged for an indefinite period between the Transfer Company and the hackmen who congregaté at | the Union Depot has broken out afresh and promises to rage with dog-star intensity. Next to the baggage smasher the hackman is one of the most important personages of this free country, but Superintendent Van Dyne, of the Transfer Company, is uo respecter of persons, and he has determined that no Jehu, large or email], shall desecrate the platform or penetrate the sacred insidesof the Com- any’s buildings for the purpese of pushing bis vocation. In accordance with this reasoive the followice - ORDER was printed and conspicuously posted at the Union Depot yesterday: St. Louis, July 30 1880.—SUPERINTEND- ENT’S OFFICE—Notice to Patrolmen: Fhe st.

The imperial ukase fell like a fire-brand in the crowd of whip-crackers, and there was an immediate scattering th.t made Superintendent Van Dyne’s eagie-eve gleam with atriumphant glow. But the disconceried hackmen were not long in recovering their self-possession, and they resolved at once to make a Balaklava charge on the enemy and recover the Jost platform or die with the harness of battle on.
