PHILADELPHIA August 25.—A fire broke out shortly after 4 o’clock this morning in the flour mill of Wm. IB. Thomas & Co., on the northwest corner of Thirteenth and Willow streets. Spreading rapidly, the flames communivated to the stove and hollow ware foundry of Stuart 4 Peterson, on the west, which extended, as did the mill, from Willow to Hamilton street, and thenfto a large build - ing at the southwest corner of Thirteenth and Hamilton streets, occupied by Gumpert & Bros., manufacturers of cigars. Thomas & Co.’s mill was in operation at the time the fire was discovered. A MISSING MAN. Wm. Miller, fremanin the milling-room, is missing. The building was soon in ruins, all the walls falling and filling the streets by which itis bounded. Falling bricks crushed the eastern end of Stuart Peterson’s foundry, andthe flames, which soon swept into the pattern-room in the northeastern corner of the structure, destroyed nearly all the pat- terns, which Peterson stated will be difficult toreplace, and he estimates his loss at $75,- 000, which is covered by insurance. THE LOSSES. The loss on the mill property is placed at $100,000. Gumpert & Bro. occupy the second and third floors of the building at the north- west corner of Thirteenth and Hamilton Streets, and second, third and fourth floors in tbe rear. The first and fourth floors of the front of the structure are vacant. The buiid- ing is one hundred and ten feet front by sixty- we feet deep. The firm employed 150 hands, and they had in stock 400,000 cigars. The in- ~urance is $23,000, and will cover their loss. n the east side of Thirteenth street all the vuildings were damaged, increasing the loss about $10,000, Indications. WASHINGTON, D.

LONDON, August 25.—An India dispatch says that a large number of Ghazis are flocking down from Khelati onthe Ghilzai road and from other directions to join Ayoob Kban,who‘could not now retreatjif he wished, asthe Ghazis are determined to tight to the last. NO SIEGE. A dispatch from Candahar says the enemy is makipg no attempts at a regular siege. RAMCHUNDAR COMING. A dispatchtothe Times from St. Peters- burg says the Indian Prince Ramchundar, for some time a resident at that capital, and who is related to tke notorious Nana Sab ib, has again appeared as tbe friend and advisor of Abdurrabman Khan, to’meet whom he is for the second time on bis way to Afghanistan. Suspicions which his former movewents in Russia and Afghan Turkestan have created in the minds of those who believe in the latest re- port of Russian iotrigues in Afghanis- will probably de increased by the latest advices about him. Ramehundar intends to go to Teheran on bis way to the Ameer’s headquarters. He says the Ameer finds no sympatby at Teheran. THE PERSIAN VIEW. The Persian officials regard bim as an in- strument of Russia. They are also highly displeased at Gen. Skobelefi’s movement against the Turcomans, seeing therein dan- ger to Herat, which the Shah hopes to annex. GEN. BROOKS SHOT. A dispatch from Candahar states that Gen. Brooks was shot during the late sortie-while bringing in Capt. Cruickshank, who was wounded. Germany. LOXDON, August 2.—A_ dispatch from Vienna says: The article of the North Ger- man Gazette commenting on Gambetta’s utterances at Cherbourg caused a sensation bere. Its firm but moderate language is generally approved. The Times in a leading editorial upholds Gampetta’s speecb, which it says is, under the circumstances, ne ther rash nor provoc itive. The only point of comfer in the challenge of the North German Gizette is the avowal that Germany will never again interfere in the political affairs of France. THE COUNT VON ARNIM. BERLIN, August 25.—The public prose- cutor has refused the petition of Ceunt von Arnim fora rehearing of the charge of treason sgainst him, and of which he was convicted. France. PARIS, August 25.—The articie of the North | German Gazette on Gambetta’s speech at Cherbourg has produced some sensation here. La Republique Francaise, Gambetta’s organ, replies in moderate but very firm language. It disclaims any intentio1 on the part ef France to disturb peace. Provocations have come during the past ten years not from France, but from Germany. La Republique Francaise attri- butes the article to wish to justify enormous German armaments.’? Other Republican papers write in the same strain. & Ireland, LONDON, August 25.—Six men who were arrested on suspicion of being connected with the robbery of arms from the Juno, near Cork, have been discharged for want of evi- dence. England. LONDON, August 2>.—Gladstons leaves to- morrow on a two weeks’ trip through Tre- land and Scotland. THE ROWERS.

His friends say they would consider any change at this time a reflection upon his management. THE SPRAGUES. A family reunion took place at Canonchet last Saturday at which all the Spragues, ex- cepting the Governor’s wife, were present. Rumor has it Mrs. Byron Sprague has assumed full control of the house and will conduct it in the interest of all that all differences between the Sprague and Hoyt families have been adjusted, aud that perfect harmony and unity now exist, each believing that with united efforts better results may be obtained. Another report current is that Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague had concluded to come back to the family roof and that her advent might be expected with the close of the present sea- son. DYING CHILDREN.

Messrs. John D. Perry and Joseph McEntire Examined, And the Gundeker Counsel are Again Disappointed. _ rm The Sham Suit Doesn't Work to Suit the Soreheads— Afternoon Pro- ceedings. At 10 o’clock this morning Mr. A. R. Tay- lor, the plaintiff in the Gundeker suit, was on hand at Judge Laughlin’s office to deliver his brief in the Cabell contempt case. After waiting three-quarters of an hour without the judicial representative appearing Mr. Taylor left the brief with Mr. Jos. Lodge,who prom- ised to hand it over to Judge Laughlin, and so this phase of the Cabell! case is passed. BUTLER AND TAYLOR, While waiting in the corridor for Judge Laughlin who snould stroll in but Ed. Butler? When he saw Taylor he held out his hand,and the lawyer and horseshoer shook. A conver- sation ensued between the two. „Why did you not put me on the stand!“ queried Ed. Taylor smiled. Then Butler began and said be could tell a lot of things. For instance, Tavior,’’ he remarked, I could tell how some years ago when you were on the ticket the indignation was so great that ou were forced off, and the Missouri Repub- ican was what did n. That sheet was against you and you were removed from the ticket. This reference was not very flattering, but Taylor replied — a „Now,“ continned Butler, I will teil you. Iwasa Hayden man and I was the only man when a vote was taken for our prefer- ences who voted for Hayden. I never saw Judge Russell. one of the candidates, until a short time before the primaries, when he drove up in his buggy. He had his borse shod and talked politics. Said I: ‘Mr. Russell, I bave been a horse-shoer in this city for a number of years, and you have owned a horse, but this is the first time you ever came here to have it shod.’ Well, the horse was shod and 1 got paid for it. Why, in my ward I paid over $290 myself for a —— out of my own pocket. I paid thirty dollars for poll books. We had three pre- cinets, and as to the Central§CVommittee, I haven’t but two or three friends in it. Horse- shoeing is better than politics,“ said Ed. with a shake of his bead. „es,“ remarked a reporter, and Ed. Butler is worth more than all the lawyers in the Gundeker case. He has the la gest horse- shoing establishment in thecountry. He is better known by his three shops and the Goodenough shoe than by his politics.’’ Now, look here, Taylor.“ said Butler „answer squarely, if you would be nominated for Judge of the Court of Appeals, wouldn’t you pay 81,500“ „If it was for legitimate expenses,“ an- swered Taylor. Now no evasion; just answer like a mau,“ „Well, of course I would, if it was for le- gitimate expenses, replied Taylor. Butler then went off with Col. Dave Mur- phy and the interesting colloquy ceased. Before the Notary. A few minutes after 11 about fifteen or twenty persons were gathered in Mr. Me- Keag’s office to listen tothe Gundeker mill. Mr. McCarty and Mr. La Due represented the defendants, Messrs. Taylor and McKeag the plaintiff, who wants $500 damages for the damage done to his good name by the obloquy brought upon it by defeat at the pri es. Among those present were Judge John D. Finney, Ashley Cabell, Counsellor Garvey, and others. At half-past eleven Stenographic Notary Oldfield swore the first witness, Mr. Jobn D. Perry. He was examined by Mr. Taylor. MR. PERRY’S DEPOSITION. Mr. Perry testified that he was the Pres- ident of the banking house of Bartholow, Lewis & Co. “Do you know of any money being ex- pended in the late primary elections in the city of St. Louis?“ No, sir.“ Do you know of any money being paid for that purpose? Mr. Perry said he could best amswer that questionjby making a brief statement. He then addea: About three or four weeks ago Mr. Robert Carr came to me and told me he wanted me to contribute something to the primary elections, I think it was. I asked hm what he expected me to pay. He said $100, and } gave him a check for it.“ Witness continued: Mr. Carr did not tell me the amount raised. That was all he knew of being raised. He stated that it was for the primary elections in the interest of Mr. Crit- tenden. It was a personal contribution at his personal request. Jam in the habit of occasionally making such contributions,’’ added Mr. Perry. The witness was briefly cross-examined by Mr. La Due: MR. M’ENTIRE’S TESTIMONY. The second witness was Mr. Joseph H. Mc- Entire. The examination, it was evident. was a skillful *‘fishing,’ but it developed nothing. McEntire’s evidence was distinct and em- phatic and it exercised a depressing influence on Gundeker’s counsel. Their fishing expe- dition amounted to nothing. Before Mr. McEntire was sworn Counselor Garvey, who was one of the candidates for — aggre SE * 7 the — of A s rose and s that hea as — for Mr. McEntire to — — as re- gards his personal poms Mr. Joseph H.

It ceased also after he was nominated ?’’ „Tes, sir.“ “It was only an organization with a com- 1 interests in favor of Col.

Absinthe. | From the St. James Magazine. | It is now nearly a century sincea French refugee named Ordinaire settled in the small village ofjCouvet, in the Val Travers, in the Canton of Neufchatel, Switzerland. Dr. Ordinaire was a medical man, and avery clever one for the time in which he lived, and he soon made himself useful to the people of Val Travers, among whom doctors and medi- cal men had hitherto been almost unknown, Dr. Ordinaire prepared his own medicines, as was not unusual in those days; and though he seems to have been a regularly qualified practitioner, it is evident that he had not that contempt for panaceas which is usually to be met with in the profession. Indeed, there was one universs! remedy which he held in high esteem and compounded with his own bands from various aromatic herbs, after a se- cret recipe known only to himself. This went by the name of Extract of Worm- wood,” and, as many per:ons declared that it had completely cured them, the doctor paturaily prescribed and recom- mended it to others. Before hisdeath he gave the recipe to his servant, ‘*‘Mamsei! Grandpierre,’’ and she sold it to the daugh- ters of Lieutenant Henriod, who grew the necessary plants and herbs in their own gar- den, distilled the elixir over the kitchen fire, and sold it to peddlers, by whom it was hawked about the country. Conducted inthis way, however, the business was nota very profita- ble one, and the ladies, after a time, gave it up and sold the secret. Atthe beginning of the — century the recipe came into the bands of a M. Hernod, of Couvet, and from that time “Extrait d’Absinthe,’’ as it was then called, became a regular article of com- merce, though it was not prepared in any very large quantities, as the demand for it was neither large nor general, and there was, be- sides, some difficulty in obtaining the neces- sary ingredients which manufacturers grew only in their own private gardens. By degrees, however, the demand increased,and the herbs began to be extensively cultivated. In 19 the four villages ef Couvet, Motiers, Fleurier and Buttes sold plantstothe value of 1,20 Louis d'or (£960), and ome individual alone had made 2,500 francs (£100) in the vear. From this time the cultivation of the absinthe herbs became a regular and profitable bust- ness, and has, unuappily, continued to be so to the present day. — -- - — The Warden of the Cinque Ports. [From Belgravia. | The Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports gen- erally bolds the office of Constable of Dover Castle. Walmer Castle is the residence of the Warden, and it was a favorite seat of the Duke of Wellington when he held the office. Great shoals of mackerel! sometimes congregate in the vicinity, and afew years ago a tale went the round of the London papers of one of these shoals being entrapped by two lucky fishermen; the men could not haul it in ex- cept by slow and not easy stages, while the tish were, of course, escaping by scores in all directions; a passer-by volunteered his as- sistance, and in the end a noble hau! of mach- erel was landed. The grateful fishermen pressed their helper to accept half a dozen, and he left with a string of these fish in his hand, remarking tbat he had earned his breakfast. Much was tbe amazement of the proprietors of the nets when a companion joined them and said that the party in the shooting-coat gring toward Walmer was Lord Granville, the Warden of the Ports. The oftice of Warden will probably be abol- ished in the course of time, for it certainly does seem a little singular that not only have the duties imposed on the burgesses become obsolete, but the ports themelves are now for the most. part stranded on dry land far away from a haven. —e- —— —]!— © + — — - — — THE GREAT GERMAN BLOOD PURIFIER, CURES DYSPEPSIA, Liver Complaint, Costiveness, Bilious Attacks, Indigestion, Jaundice, Loss of Appetite, Headache, Dizziness, Nausea, Sores, Boi's, Foul — f - N Carr.

UHRIG'S CAVE—Chimes of Normandy. — A — — THE chief idiot-orial writer of the Re- publican is Hyde-ously funny. (Joke.) ASIATIC “CHOLERA has ceased to elimi- nate the populace of Erie, Pa. It was the Pennsylvania variety. — — —-_ — — — — — ͥͤ ei — - It is comforting to know that we are not broiling alone. The heat wave has spread itself all over the country. Nau says that the Republicans will car- ry Maine by 8,000 majority. We record this prophecy now and will refer to it fur- ther on. HavinG falsified the census of the South in 1870 in order to cut down the represen- tation, the Republicans are now growling because they haven’t been able to repeat the fraud this year. Ir we wanted to be excruciatingly funny we would say that Sirius, the dog star, is now inthe ascendant and that the Repubh- Jenn is suffering from an attack of Hyde- rophobia! H-s-s-s-h! don’t laugh. THREE ambitious Democrats are suf- . fering what Mr. Gundeker would call “the Obloquy of defeat“ in the Ninth Missouri District. Gen. James Craig walked off with the Congressional persimmon yes- terday. — — — — — — — — — ArTenr a terrible contest in the School Board last night the McGuffey people suc- ceeded in mangling and crushing all op- position and our children will continue to draw information from their standard school-books. The event would seem to call for a triumphal procession. Iv the penny philosophers who are en- deavoring to establish a journalistic Kin- dergarten on Second street permit the idea to get abroad that they are simply a caudal appendage of the} poor old Republican, they will make a fatal mistake, and they have already made several serious ones. —_—- — Since highwaymen have renewed their attacks upon street cars in the strects of the cultivated and refined city of New York, it would be well, perhaps, for uncouth and barbarous citizens of such frontier towns as St. Louis to take their bowie-knives and revolvers with them when they have occa- sion to visit the metropolis. Ir Mr. Gould’s industrial census doesn’t show that St. Louisis the greatest center of trade and manufacturein the United States, Mr. Gould must pack his satchel and seek an- other home.—[Hereditary Enemy of St. Louis. Having attacked the health statistics and the Clearing-house records, the next thing in order is to slur the man who collates out industajal and commercial statistics. The reward that a man receives for trying to boost St. Louis is a blackguarding from the newspapers which live off the town and zive nothing in return. — Ü— ß ĩr—. . — -¼— — ee — THERF is no certainty that Baroness Burdett-Coutts will marry young Mr. Bartlett. A London mob assembled in front of her house on the day set for her wedding last week, hooted the benevolent lady and would have pelted her in approved style if she had shown herself. After manifesta- tions of disapproval on the part of the Queen, the press and the riff-raff of the streets, the Baroness will probably forego her charitable design. She should come to America, where people are permitted to marry and unmarry when and in whatever way it suits them. — a — Ir occurs to us that too much attentlon is being paid to the suppression of duels in the State of Virginia. Here, following close upon the Hope-Lamb Jasco at Nor- 4 folk, is a grand convulsion over an at- tempted meeting between Col. Johnston and Capt. Wise, of Richmond. So long as extraordinary pains are taken to stop duel- ing, just so long will the sons of cltivalry parade and prepare for slaughter. Next to fighting a duel there is nothing that gives a men 80 much eclat as an advertisement that at some time in his life he has shown a will- ingness to engage in a sanguinary combat under the code. The thing that makes dueling repugnant to the masses 1s actual blood-letting. Every time a man is slaughtered on the field of honor a score of chivalric knights in the neighborhood of the episode are careful to sing small for the period of a year. The code was in- vented to prevent fighting, and when, by accident, two people come together under its provisions and kill or wound each other, the spectacle has a depressing effect on the general public. — — — — ——— AGAIN, and on the other hand: Greatis the Dark Lantern, and Phoolitzer is its profit.— [Republican of To-day. This, gentle reader, is the product of seventy-two years of chaste and refined journalism! How feeble the raillery of Dean Swift, the pungent wit of Sheridan, the drollery of Lamb and the sparkling repartee of Tom Hood appear beside this rapier-like humor! If the genial Joe Mil- ler, the founder of English pleasantry, the man whose jest book is understood to be the best thumbed work in the Republican bibliotheque, could have lived to see the wonderful development of his school, as evinced in the paragraph quoted, how his wheezy bosom would have swelled with pride! Revered shades of Touchstone and Miller, how refreshingly do the dews of your genius fall upon the arid spots of the Nineteenth Century, watering, as it were, the memories which flourish amid the sterility of years! ART ON A FROG POND. Cincinnati, the Western home of the Arts, the Athens of the Millcreek Valley, is reveling in a new artistic sensation. On one of the elevations back of the city there is a Zoological Garden very dear to the beer-drinking, «/ fresco population of the refined valley beneath. Here on Sun- days the citizens gather by the thousands to cultivate their quadruped brethren and study the habits of their simian ancestors. They love to trace back from the highest point of intellectual development in the „Paris of America““ to the jungles of Africa, where the great grandfather— Quaffed the undefiled Spring, or hung with ape-like glee By his teeth or tail or eyelid To the slippery mango tree; Where be wooed and won a dusky Bride, of instincts like his own— Talked of love till he was husky In a tongue to us unknown ; Side by side ’twas theirs to ravage The potato-ground, or cut Down the unsuspeeting savage With the well-aimed cocoanut. In this Zoological Garden there is a frog- pond—a sort of natural depression filled with water, which, in the euphemism of advanced thought, is styled a lake. It re- cently occurred to an unemployed artist in the city to utilize this lakelet in an en- tertainment which would rival the grandest spectacle of the Flavium Amphi- theater and tend to still further de- velop and refine his fellow-citizens. He devised a night show alliteratively enti- tled ‘‘Visions of Venice.“ As Mark Twain said about the Sacred Panorama, a night show, where the light is withdrawn from the mixed audience and concentrated on the stage, appeals strongly to a Parisian audi- ence in Ohio. The frog-pond was made to do duty as the Adriatic; some painted scenes andaplatform on one side repre- sented the Doge’s Palace and the Church of St. Mark. This, with a quay, an open- ing into the plaza and some spires im the back-ground, is all that is necessary for a first-class Venice. A grand tableau vivant was announced as the Marriage of the Doge.“ This had reference to the ancient ceremony on the part ef, the Doges of pe- riodically dropping aring into the sea in front of Venice, with appropriate mum- mery, and referred to in the history as „The Marriage of the Adriatic.“ Several thousand cultivated citizens gathered at the garden en Monday night to see the Doge do the ring trick. At the very outset an accident occurred which came near de- stroying the illusion of the evening. A fine orchestra had been engaged for the occa- sion and perched upona platform built At the edge of the treacherous sea. While the musicians were waiting for the approach of a stately gondola the platform listed toward the water. A fat tuba player slipped over the side and fell into the Adri- atic with a frightful plash. The ’cello player, who was related to him by mar- riage, plunged in to rescue him, This cre- ated a rush to the other side of the plat- form and, the whole thing giving way, the entire band was precipitated into the sea, instruments and all. The big fiddler jump- ed upon his fiddle and rode away to shore as majestically as though sealed in a pinnace. Not so easily did the others escape. The Venetian Life Service Station, on the opposite side, seeing the accident, sent out a number of gondolas and fished up the wind-jammers and catgut raspers, together with such derelict fiddle bows, drums, violins and other instruments of | melody as were tossed about upon the | waves. The bass viol player, who was the first to reach shore, took the Bridge of Sighs off his instrument and constructed a ) hasty passage-way from the rescuing boat to the shore. The ducked musicians, splat- tered with the blue clay peculiar to the Ohio hills, were sent off to dry, and a new band was engaged. Then, amid soft music from achorus onthe quay and under the rich glare of ocalcium lights, Mr. Schmittgall and Miss O’Hoolihan, repre- senting the Doge of Venice and the Queen. of Beauty respectively, floated outin a gon- dola surrounded by crimson-clad court fools and gaily-decked ladies and cavaliers, and the ceremony of wedding the Adriatic took place, unmindful of the poor musi- cians seeking a-dry-attic in which to recov- er from their unexpected baptism. After this came Archibald Osbaldistone and Mi- chael Pheelan, clad as knights, fighting from the prows of papier-mache gondolas for the dominion of the sea, together with oth- er tilts of a similar lofty and chivalric character. With pasteboard scenes, rich with the color of Titian and Paul Veronese, knights in calico dresses and sombre black gondolas standing out in bold relief under the radiant calciums, it may be imagined that the spectacle was one of grandeur and highly edifying to the artistic Cincin- nati mind. — — — Ir has long been accepted as an axiom that two of a trade can never agree.“ Gen. John A. McDonald, biographer and historian of the whisky ring, finds him- self embroiled in a serious difficulty with a man in his line—one Thomas Upchurch, colporteur and Bible agent. Mr. church visited the town of Nokomis, IIlinois, the other day, with a view to spreading the Gospel. Gen. McDonald was here in St. Louis plunged up to his very ears and eyes in literary labors. As Mr. Upchurch passed the residence of Gen. McDonald he saw, or claimed to see, a woman beckoning at him ina way in which no woman should beckon at a per- son engaged in the solemn work of selling the Scriptures by subscription, or twenty per cent off for cash. However, he felt it his duty to call at the McDonald residence and sell one of his works. While there he referred, by way of reproof no doubt, to the hailing signs alleged to have been pre- viously made. Mrs. McDonald, naturally indignant, drove him out of the house, turned the matter over to heruncle and telegraphed for the gallant General. He threw down his pen, rushed to Nokomis andthence to Pana, the home of Up- church, with a view to pulling down that particular church. He saw a brother of the offending Bible peddler and had a jawing match with him. Inthe course of theal- tercation he displayed a revolver. He was at once arrested and taken before a magis- trate, who fined him $25 and costs for as- sault. From the details before us we can hardly believe that Mr. Upchurch is a pro- per sort of person to be entrusted with the task of introducing the Bible innew and unfamiliar sections of the country. His business should be to introduce his work without comment on the manners and habits of citizens and trust to its teach- ings tocorrect any improprieties falling under his observation. Mr. Upchurch has no right to assume, when a lady shakes a tablecloth over the railings of a side porch. that he is being flirted with. — — — — — a! © A Mr. B. F. LIEBER, of New York, pro- poses to make a test case of the right of hotels to reject guests on account of their religion. He was refused admission at St. Mark’s Hotel, New Brighton, on the ground that he was a Hebrew, and he demands $5,000 damages for this exclusion. It is te be hoped that Mr. Lieber will press his suit to a successful is- sue and settle deflnit ly the question as to whether there is to be a religious qualification for the privilege of living in this country. This is the same hotel which declined to admit Prof. Felix Adler early in the season because he was a Jew, and the trifling circumstances that he is a scholar almost without peer in this coun- try and a gentleman by birth and breeding were altogether forgotten. A hotel ought to have the right te decline guests wlio would be personally unpleasant to its customers, but the line of demarka- tion cannot be drawn along the line of creed. It is a question of manners and breeding, not of opinion and belief, and to broadly reject all Hebrews is a stupid piece of bigotry and prejudice unworthy of this enlightened country and the century. It is to be hoped that Mr. Lieber will compel the St. Mark’s Hotel to pay roundly for this imbecility and thus teach that caravanseray and others, if not more sense, at least more discretion. GEN. GOODING, who is looming up as a candidate for Congress in the Second Dis- trict, is thus spoken of by that excellent and sterling Democratic newspaper, the Indianapolis Sentinel: Gen. Gooding is a native Indianian, and brother of our distinguished feliow-citizen, Hon. David 8. Gooding, now Democratic can- didate for elector-at-large for the State. Gen. Gooding isa graduate ot West Point, having received the appointment from Hon. Those. A. Hendricks when he was a member of Congress. He graduated with honor and entered the requ- lar army. Inthe ahl history of the war a | Massachusetts regiment wanted a regular army officer for Colonel, and General (tnen Lieutenant) Gooding was assigned to the com- mand. Having served through the war, he resigned his commissfon and entered upon the practice of Jaw in St. Louis, where he now re- sides. He is aman of superior abilities, and, if sent to Congress, will maintain the high reputation of Missouri in that body. The St. Louis district has a large amount of good materia] tor Congressmen, and the fact that Gen. Gooding is so warmly recommended by the Spirit shows the high esteem in which he is held by his fellow- citizens. THE quiet city of San Antonio had the even flow of events ruffled by two cow-hiding at - fairs yesterday morning. Judge Wesley Ogden took exception to an Express editorial by calling on Mr. Frank Griee with a stoutish bit of rawhide. Grice reasoned with him, and after having his teeth knocked down his throat the Judge remarked he would call again when the editor was not busy. No further bloodshed As anticipated from this quarter. A San Antonio saloon-keeper’s wife had her enthusiasm fired by the Judge’s exploit. Taking a good stout cow-hide, she went up to the bar-tender’s room and, after accusing him of spreading evil reports about his employer, her husband, proceeded to flay him alive. The young man was in a very deli- cate position, as he was in bed at the time. un- dressed and altogether too basbful to getup and run for it. He didn’t argue with his Nemesis, but just laid low and took what was coming, until he resembled St. Lawrence after his celebrated grid-iron feat. And such is life in the great commonwealth of Texas. THE report that George W. Childs, the Obituary Poet of the Philadelphia Ledger, was beginniag to fail mentally is fortunately denied by the following vigorous stanzas, which appeared in his paper on the 20th inst. The poetry speaks for itself: Oh! where is the daughter we loved so well, And why did she leave us so soon? She has gone up yonder to her home in heaven, To never return any more. Oh! whers is that sister we loved so well, And why did she leave us so soon? She has gone up yonder to her home in heaven, And never return any more. In every home in the land where true senti- | ment and pathos is revered the intelligence that Mr. Childs is not pegging out will be bailed witb a feeling akin to joy. — — — — p “ail, Gee — THAT Baltimore Astroleger is whooping up the zodiac again. He has recently taken a squint atthe stars which are supposed to control the destiny of Gen. Hancock (not the ones on his shoulder-straps. however), and he finds that he ‘thas a very good direction at the {time of eleetion, but a very bad one atthe time of inauguration,’’ and so will probably not be allowed to take his seat as President. The fact that the same Astrolo- ger cast the horoscope of John Sherman last May, and discovered that he would be nomi- nated for President at Chicago, leads us to believe that if the stars will elect Hancock in November the people will inaugurate him without stellar assistance in March. — — — — — — — INDIANAPOLIS is a festive town, and the people are noted for the great number of jellies and jams they put up for winter use. Some saturnine individual endeavored to dis- courage Mr. J. C. Smith’s family from this harmless pastime by mixing a lotof Paris green with their marmalade, but he was dis- covered at work and hence his labor was lost. Nobody knows who he was, but he was so vexed at the interruption that he tried to hammer Miss Smith's brains out before he left. WE can never resist the impulse to insert a piece of humor in our paper when it is fairly brougbt to our attention. We find this ex- cellent joke inthe New York Herald P. I. column: Une de nos elegantes demandait a un vieux matelot, qui revient de Chine, ce qui avait le plus frappe dans ce pays. ‘Ce qui ma le plus surpris,’ respondit-il, ‘c’est qu’iis ont les memes habitudes que nous. Ainsi, ils se mouchent avec leurs doigts—comme vous et moi!’ ” THE most modest tailor in Chicago could have told the Triennial Conclave Committee of arrangements that to attempt to make a suit of clothes fora man without taking his measure is always sure to prove a tailure. The great mistake that committee made was that it neglected totake the measure of the great crowd before it got here.—/Chicago Journal. But you took the measure of the {crowd after it got there in beautiful style. The bills were made out in each instance according to the ascertained superficial contents of the pocket-book. DEAN BUCHANAN, the bogus medical di- ploma man of Philadelphia, has been found. He is reposing quietly at Windsor, Canada, under the placid, inocuous name of Fair- child.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: In your issue ot yesterday Fair Play’’ at tempts to reply to my article of day before yes- terday. Altogether, he makes a poor show- ing, as all the articles which he enumerated properly belong to a druggist’s establishment. Druggists sell only the best of cigars and to- bacco, but the grocers can’t say as much, for they keep the worst I ever saw. Violin and guitar strings have been sold by dru sts from time immemorial, and the same of stationery. As to whisky and brandy, very few drug stores sell them by the drink, but keep them for medical purposes, and we have to pay a license tor doing so as wellas tor seiling to- bacco and cigars; butthe grocers sell drugs and medicines without paying any extra li- cense. This is why I say they steal the busi ness that belongs to other people. DRUGGIST. He Didn’t Like It. Sr. LOUIS, August 25, 1880.

Points Gathered at the Brighton Bath- | ing Beach. ; }*“tath*s’? Cor. Brobklyn Hagle. | There. is little bathing at Brighton, and in this respect I was disappointed. People do not come here flying from the beat and plunge into the water to cool the blood as we do. They fiy from the cold as well, to those sheltered south coasts, and seek an equal cti- mate rather than a revulsion of climates. All the time I have been here it has been pretty cold weather, although a sofcening wind from the face of the sea abides even in the damp- ness. The Englishmen are often fine swim- were, and tbere seems to be no treacherous current bere, bearing the swimmer off to sea, and consequently the nude bodies of young Britons are seen half a mile out in the water. The women do not swim as much as ours. English women bathe in flannel, generally blue, with no sleeves, the arms, which are the best limbs they have to show, de- ing exposed to the armpit. The sun does not scorch those fine muscu- jar arms, but merely puts a little haze or jog upon them to tempt their roses out. They all wear bathing-shoes, or rather slip- pers, which do sot bide the ankle, as the pebbles here and strong surf would soon la- cevate the feet. They wear stockings in but few cases. and, I think, wear corsets in the water but little. The bathing-dre-s is made joosish, particularly below the middle, and is seldom belted. The legs are wide and not tied, so that the British legs are revealed in their full length, and often above the knees. A cool, measured, and judicial view brings me to the conclusion that the British leg is fair to middling. It lacks three of the noble ele- ments of the American limb—the large. round, tapering calf, the sma!) ankle and the high-instepped, well-born foot. The British cal? is like a bandage tied on, bunching once and then sliding away into leanness; the whole foot of the Engiish woman is a mascu- line article girded into abominable shoes, which may be sensible in de- sign, but are without symmetery. I think we make the dest shoes ia the world for both men and women, and our machine-made shoes are not only the cheap- est in the world, but the most sightly and com- fortable. Weare the best-dressed people in the world, although the model of our styles is manifestly Parisian. Continuing with the female anatomy, I may say that the American iris resemble the French more than the Eng- isb, yet resemble neither much. There is a refinewent of skin and Latin contrast in the French girl's face dificult tosurpass, but in form the French woman is almost without hips, unless she be a laboring woman, and is laned off like a board. Her feet are comely, owever, and the ankle is cut square, giving her freedom witbout strength of motion there. At Brighton I saw some few rare specimens of beautiful vital life in Eaglisb girls; such had generally darkish hair, dark gray or brown eyes, skins without roses, of a le, brunette tint, and bodies fluent, limbs ong, and necks and heads cut fine and clear of the shoulkers. —— —ͤz—— — — — — * SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Evening Dispatch, The Evening Post, a The Evening Star. LEADING EVENING PAPER ofthe WEST. ~~ A Democratic Jcurnal Devote l to the Interests of Missouri. PROSPECTUS FOR 1880: The POST-DISPATCH hasbeen and will be Newspaper iu the true sense of the word. 1. owns the exclusive membership and franchise inthe Associated ?t’ress. In is in constant tele graphie communion with all parts of the hab- itable Globe. Its Correspondents are at all the principal Fountains ot News, und spare neith- er Money, Labor nor Brains to be the EARLI- EST, the most COMPLETE and the most RELIA- BLE Historians of the Incidents and Accidents of the Day throughout the World. It will maintain its Excellent Record ot being the Most Thorough and the Most Accurate Chront- cle of the Local Happenings of St. Louis, en- joying, as it does, facilities for gathering in- formation Wich are not shared by any other jourr al in the city, Editorially it will continue to urge good, old-fashioned Democracy as the only Rational System ot Government, and in the coming struggle between IMPERIALISM and FREE IN- STITUTIONS it will be found at all times in the lead, fighting tne Battie of the People beneath the Standard of Law, Liberty and Local Self- Government. Though Democratic, our Dem ocracy is preceded by an allegiance to Truth and Honesty, and, once convinced that truth to itself or honesty to the public demand it, it has proved in the past that it will spare neither censure nor rebuke within or without the party when it deems them necessary. Its principles are tolerably famillar to the peopie of the State, as they have been repeatedly and frankly stated, and on every question from hard, sound Moneyto Western Improvements everybody knows that a definite pesition has been taken and held. THE WEEKLY POST-DISPATCA. The WEEKLY VPOST-DISPATCH bas been es- tablished to be to Missour what the Daily ts to St. Louis, and the manner in which it has been taken up—evidenced by the surest of all testi- mony, the subscription list—shows that a pro- gressive, enterprising, live Newspaper can command success in itself, without adventti- tious aid, and with no recommendation ex- ceptthatofinnate and superior merit. The WEEKLY TFOS8T-DISPATCH has already become an institution which Missourians cannot afford to do without, for, in the character ot its neus and the practical value of all its matter, itis almost a necessary household article to every farmer or merchant in the coun- try. The markets are brought down to the very momen: of going to press, just a day ahead ofany morning contemporary, for, in the nature of things, a paper printed inthe morning cannot contain as late news as a pa- per printedinthe evening and going out by the same evening's mail. this one consideration, were thee no other, would be enough to place the WEEKLY Post- DISPATCH tar beyond any competitor, fora day’s intelligence froma fluctuating market may save or make a business. The Weekly is specially edited to give acomplete history of the week brought down to 4 o'clock of the day of issue, each subject having its carefully considered space, and its proper application tothe business, the domestic, or the social wants of its readers. The year of our Lord 1880 opens with a promise of solid prosperity, the like of which has net been known since the War. Tne pip- ing times of Peace inall their fullness and plenty foster industry and enterprise inthe land. Every wheel that turns, and every share that rolls the mellow loam up to the ripening sun, is driven by the sturdy arm of a citizen whose vote will be cast inthis crisis- year either to make this happy promise a per- manent reality of true popular self-govern- ment, or to secinits steada sham Republic, with its attendants of a military, personal, centralized Government, eternal sectional strife and certain Mexicanization. The Post-Disratcu will appeal during the coming year to the conscience aud patriotism of all true Americans who would keep the sacred and revered fires of Liberty alight to rally to its support during a season which will witness the bitterest and the most important Political Canvass which the American Repub- lic has teen yet called upon to enter. RATES OF SUBSCRIPTION. The PoOST- DISPATCH will be delivered by car- riers to any part of the city or sent by mall postage prepaid, to subscribers in any part of the Union, on the following terms: Daily, per week ccegecee Daily, per montin oc Daily, three months.

A most harmonious and enthusiastic m2et- ing of the Past End Deméefatic Sub, Of the Twentieth Ward, was held last 271% Gass avenne. 4 were appointed to name a delegation for the Te a; Me „ 21 eveuing a. committee of seven ward to the next convention. Also a com- mittee was appointed to make all the necessary prelimmaries for a grand mass meeting on next Friday evening, on Cass avenue, between Elliett and Clay avenues, under the auspices of the club. From pres- ent indications it is predicted that the Twentieth will be second to none in the city in the thoroughness of its organization in the interest of the Democratic party. Hin- cock and English is their shibboleth. Another Open Candidate. Mr. W. W. Polk, the architect, is looming up for Congress in the Second District. He is well-known as ex-president of the Mechanics’ Exchange and as the husband of Mrs. E. J. Polk. the famous women’s suffragist. Al- though he is probably the latest accession to the list of Congressional candidates, he is by no means the last one to be considered in the poss‘bilities of success. With Col. Claiborne, Ben. Gooding and Mr. Polk actively in the field the people bavea pleasing variety to choose from, as either of them is sure ofan election and sure of the enthusiastic support ofthe corner of Third and Chestnut streets. At least it is understood that ali these gentle- men before announcing their candidacy re- ceived the proper license and permit from the political bureau at the corner of Third and Chestnut. Rev. E. A. Schindel bas a fine new buggy, a present from his congregation. The membership of the “‘Ironsides’’ Han- cock and English Club was last night in- creased to 1:35. Of late some Republicans have been claim- ing that Justice Lobsinger was about to join their party. As if to settle the matter beyond ali dispute he last night enrolled his name among the Ironsides,““ and to clinch the Democratic nail tight and fast made a rous- ing Hancock speech. This shows that he still adheres to his first love. This speech created great enthusiasm. Civil Service Reform has gone to smash in this part of the city. V. B. 8.

Lucy Jane Campbell, by M. McKeag, her atterney, prays for a dissolution of the bonds which unite her to Samuel S., her husband. Plaintiff! avers that they were married in 1872, and that she has always demeaned herseif as a true and faithful wife. Samuel, on the contrary, has, since the year 1877, remained away from his vine and fig tree, and utterly refuses to assume his place as headof the house. To add to his wrongdoing his wife further alleg- es that he has not been mindful of the vows he made, but he has been guilty of frequent and continued violation of them. Therefore she prays for divorce, with restura- tion of maiden name. Suit on a Bond. The suit of Patrick Fitzgerald, Constable, to use of E.W.Sinclair, vs. Norton Newcomb, Geo. A. Newcomb and Menry Nash, was filed this morning in the Circuit Court. Fitzgerald had an execution in favor of the Neweombs against H. F. Ferris, and under it levied on a lot of posts, and burned and damaged lumber lying in a vacant lot at the _ cor- ner of Fifth and Cerre streets. Sinclair claimed the property as his, and a bend for $400 was given by the Newcombs with cash as security to indemnify the con- stable. Sinclair now sues on the bond to re- cover the amount claimed. Henry A. Me- Gindley is attorney for the plaintiff. On Account. Thomas H. Pratt brings suit on account on an appeal from a Justice’s court against Frank Pollard. Wills Probated.

Chat Bowllae..> — Did the Representative of the MeGuffey's Readers Distribute Sugar“? The war of the text book agents and their supporters inthe School Board came to a crisis last evening. In a special session of the School Board the MeGuffy revised readers were adopted for use during the coming year. The proceedings of the body as shown by the reports in the morning papersgshow the session to have been ani- mated. Personalities seem to have been indulgedin. The readers of the Post-Dis- PATCH have, in all probability, been surfeited with rival statements of this controversy, as they have appeared in the shape of ‘‘paid locals” daily for the last month ortwo. Both sides have spent a great deal of moneyin ad- vertising. Each side accuses the other of spending a great deal of moneyin securing the result stated last evening. A POST-UVISPATCH reporter this morning called upon Mr. S. P. Holden, the crushed representative of the Appleton Readers, and found that gentleman in an ir- ritated yet communicative mood. He was in- terviewed as follows: Do vou consider the ‘action of the School Board last evening as final so far as the adop- tion ot readers is concerned? do not. The meeting was called, not to consider the adoption of text books, but for the purpose of changing rule 70. Action on the adoption of readers was laid over under the rule from the last regular meetang to the second Tuesday in September, end as no mentſon was made by the Committee on Rules, that the subject of adoption of readers was — — — — contemplated, it'was neither binding nor honest to thrust the matter before the Board for action. How camethe meeting tobe called when adjournment was hadtotake sction at the regular meeting? The called. meeting was planned in the office of the President of the Board by him- self and two agents for McGuffey’s Read- eas, who took this plan to prevent the use of 1 — Readers. as money used by the opposition house to intiluence the members of the board? It was the corrupting influences of money that carried through the adoption ofMcGuffey’s Revised Readers. It was the use of money that influenced some members of the Board to undertake to carr through the introduc- tion of those sreaders, when = well knew that there are features in them that are so objectionable as to condemn their use among all leading educators.
