Rockwell says the President is decidedly bet- ter this morning than he has been at any time since he was wounded, that at the morning dressing there was a free and healthy dis- charge of pus from the wound, and thata portion of the original wound above the in- cision was observed to have commenced heal- ing. The surgeons, after consultation, omjthe subject this morring, concluded that the removal of the heavy car- pet which now covers the floor of the President’s chamber would be beneticia), and considering the brightness of the morn- ing, With the perfectly fresh and dry atmos- phere, together with the favorable condition of the patient, it was decided to make the change atonce. The surgeons maintain that the carpet absorbs the impurities of the at- mosphere Which invariably exist more or less in a sick-cham- ber, and that it is a receptacle for the secretion of dust, etc. The President’s bed was carefully removed from his own room to a room immediately across the hall, where he is now resiing quietly. After the carpet of the sick-chamber is taken up the floors will be carefully dusted and a fire kindled in the grate for the purpose of secure ing thorough ventilation. The Presi- dent will not be taken back to his chamber for several hours. For the purpose of obviating the sounds of footsteps upon the floor strips of carpet will be placed in the most frequented parts of the room. It is considered this arrangement will render the chamber much more refreshing to the patient, and that it will henceforth be decidedly more comfortable. Had it been practicable the surgeons say they would have ordered the ehange made before. The attending surgeons say the President has not looked so well sincehe was wounded as he does this r:orning, and that he is delighted with the chanve which is being made ino his room and feels greatly refreshed. In the Nellie Grant Chamber. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, July 28,—The favorable pro- gress of the President continued without in- terruption during the night, andthirty hours bave elapeed since he has experienced a feb- rile rise. He slept soundly during the early nigbt, but was wakeful after widnight, although not restless. From hts remarks to the attendants itis evident he was feeling much better. He bad for breakfast the juice of steak undthe usual beef tea. Dr. Hamil- ton was present when the wound was dressed this morning. The pus was found to flow freely. All the conditions are as favor- able as yesterday. The physicians, in consultation this morning considered the advisability of transferring the President to another rooms—not that his room was uns ife, but that it would be a good thing to remove it,as the bed could be rolled through the door without disturbing the President. It was decided to do as suggested. The President was informed of the propo- sition and seemed glad to havea change. The doctors therefore surrounded his bed and pusbed it through the door, across the hall, and into the room in the extreme west, north front of the mansion. This room is known as the Nellie Grant chamber. It is large and airy, and from the present po- sition of the bed he hasa view of the War and Navy buildings through the west win- dows, across Lafavette Park to the north. The carpets are all being taken from the other room, whichis being cleaned. The Presi- dent is much pleased with the change and is doing nicely during the morning. Not Interfered With Regular Business. WASHINGTON, July 28.—Secretary Kirk- wood said at 1:30 this afternoon that his information owas that the President was decidedly better than at any time since he was shot. The Secretary said the business of the Interior Department had not been interfered with by the injury to the President except in the matter of appointments, and there were few which required the Président’s approval; that in a few instances persons whom the de- partment thought ought to 0 out of oftice had had to hold on to their positions, but none of these were important. Upon the whole the iniury to the President had not retarded or disorganized the workingsof the de- partment. Inthe Post-oftice Depart- ment there were twelve appointments as Postmasters Waiting for the President’s action, and except this the injury to the President has not interfered with the regu- lar business of the Post-oftice Department.@ Death of Col.

A dispatch from Lord Granville, Foreign Minister, to Lord Lyons, Ambassador to [I rance, on the 15th inst., states that, in view of the unquestioned incorporation of Tripoliin the Turkish Em- pire, as well as its proximity to Egypt, Her Majesty’s Government could not regard inter- ference, of whatever description, on the part of France in Tripoli, in the same manner as they viewed the occurrences in Tunis. Lord Lyons, having laid the substance of the above dispatch before the French Foreign Minister, was assured by him that France regarded Tripoli as indisputably a part of the Ottoman Empire, and that she had no intention whate ever either of invadingit or attempting to es- tablish any exclusive or predominant influ- ence in that country. The remonstrances which had been addressed to the Porte, he said, bad been mild and friendly, and had not been made until France had a very good rea- sonto believe that Turkish emissaries from Tripoli had been stirring up disaffection in Tunis. The Porte had been warned ofthe danger which must ensue if a fire was light- ed in ig oo which would spread to Tunis, and it bad been assured that if, contrary to her hopes and wishes, France was driven to military measures, she would take defensive measures only, and French troops would not cross the country of Tripoli. CHURCHILL’S MOTION. LONDON, July 28.—The Tories in the House of Commons forthe most part strongly re- pudiate the motion of which Lord Randolph Churchill, member for Woodstock, has given notice of bis intention to bring up on the final reading of the Land Bill. The motion 1s a general denunciation of the billas revolution- ary, agrarian, criminal and unpatriotic. Al- tbough Lord Churchillis himself a Tory, his fellow- Conservatives do not sympathize with him in this last assault on the bill. The French Minister declared it would be arealand great sorrow tohimif anything should occur to weaken the close and cordia! understanding between France and England in regard to Egvpt. The correspondence concludes witb a dispatch from Lord Gran- stantinople, instructing. bim.to—-rdrice't Torte to exercise great prudence in not giv- ing causes of plausible complaint to France, WILL ABSTAIN FROM VOTING. LONDON, July 28.—In the Commons yes- terday Lord Randolph Spencer Churcbill gave notice of his intention to move, on the third reading of the Land Bill, a resolution tothe effect that the bill, being the result of revolu- tionary agitation, encourages repudiation of cortracts and is opposed to individual ville to Lord Dufferin, Ambassador at Con- tire -t- liberty and calculated to diminish the security | of property and prosperity in Ireland and to endanger her Junion with Great Britain. It is understood notice was given without consul- tation with the conservative leaders and avainst their wishes. It is believed if tbe resolution is pressed to a vote the regular opposition will abstain form voting.

A CONFERENCE. LONDON, July 28.—Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Home Secretary, had a conference with Minister Lowell concerning the dynamite shipments, but the result of the conference is not known. eed France. LONDON,July 28.—A Paris correspondent of the Timessays: The true reason for hasten- ing the date of the general elections is that Gen. Saussier, the French Commander in Algeria, sent a confidential report to Paris tothe ef- fect that a serious insurrection might be ex- pected to break out in September. A great effort would then have to be made, and a formidable army sentto Africa. Perhaps the | mobilization of the army would even be nec- | essary. | rapid and decisive In short it would be needful to take steps, Which might cause uneasiness among the electors. This report of course made the Government alter the date of the election, as, if in September the country is confronted with a serious African campaign, the elections might be seriously compromised, and a formidable argument afforded to the opposition. ATTACKING THE GOVERNMENT. Paris, July 28.—The Republique and other papers continue their attack on the Government for hastening the elec- tions. It is pointed out that the Government was only saved from defeat in the division on the order of the day in the Chamber of Deputies Tuesday by their own votes and the votes of those function- aries dependent upon them. Gambetta’s newspapers are prominent in censuring the ministry. The Republique Francaise ironically inquires for their programme. Le Pays, Gam- betta’s new organ, makes a bitter attack on St. Hilaire, the Foreign ee for confer- ring the dignity of Commander of the Legion of Honor on the German vanker Bleichroder, who actedas the Prussian financial agent during the war. It declares Bleichroder advised exorbitant terms of indemnity for the war; that he was a chevalier d’industrie. It is stated in the ap- | proaching elections Gambetta will stand for both districts into which Belleville is now divided. It is expected he will advocate. as regards home policy, the reauc- tion of taxes on articles of con- sumption which press specially on the working classes, and measures of grad- ual reform. Tunis. PaRIS, July 28.—A telegram from Tunis announces 1,500 Arabs have advancedjto Pa- deuss, six kilometres from Goletta. Four Europeans and three Arabs have been mur- dered on the roads to Tunis. There is great excitement. The Bev bas ordered the removal of the bridge of boats between Goletta and Padeuss. A detachment of French troops is making a reconnoissance. A telegram {from Tunis yesterday says the Arabs can be seen within four miles of Tunis. There is creat alarm. Many shops are closed. FUGITIVES FROM THE ARABS. LONDON, July 28.—The Times publishes a dispatch from Tunis which says crowds of fugitives aie coming in from the direction where the Arabs have been seen. The Bev has placed artillery on the road leading to Goletta. AtSfax,the French are only mas- ters of they ground the stand on. It is unsafe to venture outside the gates. AN ISLAND SEIZED.

It belongs to Tunis and is situated about twenty miles distantin the Gulf of Labez. The island is twenty-two miles long, fourteen miles wide. | OUTRAGES. Otber dispatches confirm the depredations of the Arabs in the country adjacent to Tunis. The inhabitants are taking refuge in verv large numbers. The French cavalry guards the city gates. Dispatches state that after the capture of Sfaxthe French soldiers, in- toxicated, committed terrible outrages, rob- bing, assaulting and plundering the stores and houses, Abyssinia. PARIS, July 28.—A dispatch from Alexan- dria, Egypt, announces that the French Cath- olic Bishop of Massua and four missionaries on atour of inspection of Catholic missionary stations in Abyssinia were captured by the natives, who pillaged ard burned a chureh and mission house, robbed the prisoners of their clothes and sent them into the interior.

PETERSBURG, July 28.—An imperial decree, sicned by the Czar, names the Grand Duke Michael President of the Imperiai Council. FINANCIAL. A Stronger and Higher Tendency Per- ceptib le in the Markets. ~Nrw YORK, July 28.—The Post’s financial says: The Stock Exchange markets are stron- ger and higher, and sharp speculation shows plainly the intervention of leading specula- tors who have thus far stood aside an! per- mitted their stocks to be sold down acecord- ing tothe cuprice of sellers. Whether the present upward turn is a final one toward a bull market is very much questioned. | There are certainly no indications on the surface that the Trunk Line troutles are near asettiement, On the contrary Vanderbilt is quoted as saying that the war wiil last until tbe close of navigation. There mav be atime when the ‘trunk Line stocks will, in the speculation of stocks, be separated from the general list, but ut pres- ent they ure 80 interwoven with the other twarket that that which touches them affects the whole lst. Some one continues to buv them iin large amounts in the face of the mast discouraging news. As,Vanderbilt de- nies buying them it may be that owner in- fluential people are taking them with a view to future control. There is noth- ing new respecting the crops, nor is there apy foreign news of consequence. The upward turn in prices is therefore the result of other causes. A great deal of stock has been shaken out of the hands of weak ho'd- ers, and the short interest of the inarket nas become very large. - AGOOD IDEA.

Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. LOXG BRANCH, July 25.—The change from flashy Saratoga to Long’ Braach touches life at two extremities. The contrast is most striking, and to which of these sum- mer resorts the preference should be given is entirely a matterof taste. The seaside un- doubtedly bas its advantages, as well as its discomforts, and Saratoga life is but a repe- tition of winter eaieties bsthed in the golden sunlight of July and August. Perhaps no- where are the eccentricities of human nature more apparent than at the seaside, for here there is more naturalness and freedom of life than elsewhere. And then the restless sea is a great leveler of humanity. You cannot go down upon the beach and frolic around in a grotesque bath- ing suit and maintain at the same time sufli- cient dignity toawe your neighbor, who is alno clad in a grotesque costum?, you the same reverence you ure accustomed toreceive in anotber sphere. Itis no use to attempt looking staid, dignified and proper. The rude surf tosses old Pompous around with just as little ceremony as it does the greenest Jerse,xman who comes to lave in its noisv tide. Any affectation of manner or dress is sure to render ridiculous the person who attempts it. Those who wish to escape observation must look as hideous as does everybody else. Anewmbroidered bathing suit, or one elabor- ately trimmed, only serves to attract curious eyes towaldthe wearer.

These wraps they give into the charge of a maid girl before they plunge into the surf, and resumethem again Wheo the bath is finished. Long Branch may truly be sald to have reached the height of its season. The hotels are well filled, if not crowded, with guests, and the place presents a most animated appear- ance. People are always coming and going at the Branch, and, although there are miny who remain here the entire season, the great mass of visitors are transient. Hundreds come here every day just to enjoy a little pic- nic and to get a sniff of the salt sea breezes. It would take a prolific pen to describe the gay scene Which is presented at this moment around the greatiron pier. It is high noon, and the vast ocean is one broad shect of glow- ing, liquid light, which dazzles the keenest eves. Hlere and there white sails pic- tured against the clear azure sky, fluoded with golden radiance as thou zh thev came sailing from some enchanted lind. The pier and the beach are crowded with people. The Piymouth Rock has just landed several hundred passeugers, Who piss along the pier and scatter in every direction. Many have brought their luncheons with then, and are aJready spreading the small tavles which are provided for such occasions with dainty fare. The sea breeze plays sad pranks with table-cloths. One near us refuses to keep its place until balanced with a pickle jur in one corner, a satchel at another, a loaf of breal at the third and a glass of lager atthe fourth. Ice-cream and lager are among the luxurics of a seaside luncheon, which cannot very well be brought by the tourists in their satchels, but are to be had upon the pier. Many groups are already seated upon the sands of the beach. Here the poor rheumat- ics balf bury themselves in the warm gand, hoping to tind relief from their pain. The sand is so White and clean that it will not soil the most delicate tilk or the pure white mus- lin, decked with silk-satin. ribbons, in which the belies of the Brancb come down to the beach aud sit down as complacently upon the sund as they would upon a drawing-room sola.

I[ may tell you in confidence that Mme. de Peyronny regards Victor Hugo as her father, and that the great poet does not repudiate this paternity. Ac- cordingly it is not astonishing that Mme. de Peyronny should bave embraced the vocation of literature and appliedit in its mundane relations. She has made for herself in Figaro a place apart, sufficiently well defined for that jour- nal to give her 30,000 francs a year, or 2,509 frances a month, tor her daily chronicles. I have to tell you also, still in confidence, that these chronicles signed by her alone are a col- lective production. Mme. de Peyrouny re- ceives communications from all persons who give soirces and from all fashionable dress- makers who wish that tne toilettes made by them should be spoken of. The great la- dies who weartbem are much astonished to see them minutely described in the Figaro, with which journal they bave no relation. It is the treach« ry of the dressmakers. Various men of the world are also secret coliaborators of Mine. de Peyronny. One of the most precious for her is M. Lucien Double, the sxgacious and witty historian, the demolisher of Charlemagne, as M. Gambatta calls bim. Je bas suggested to Mme. de Pey- ronny to make a volume of Cornet d’un Mon- dain, inserting in it various unpublished sto- ries, and baving it printed with charming illustrations composed by A.

A little over a yearago there came to this citv from London, England, a family by the name of Colyer. Their expenses out had beo2n paid by Mrs. Colyer’s aunt, Mrs. Mary Con- nelly, of Erie. The family consisted of Mr. Colyer, aged forty-four; Mrs. Colyer, aged thirty-nine, andjfour children varying from four to fourteen years of age. Mr. Colyer ob- tained work, but owing to ill health his labor was uncertain. He was subject to epileptic fits, and latterly this malady grew upon him so much that one day last week bis wife ap- plied for his admission to the County House. The Directors of the Pvor decided to adimit the man, and Colyer at this writing occupies a bed in thegPoor-house. There lives in Erie a younglad named Bartbolomew Twobhig, «son of old Mr. wo- hig,a well-known resident, in comfortable circumstances. Bartholomew is only nine- teen. He made the acquaintance of the Col- vers andthere sprang up between him and Mrs. Colyer a friendship which finally devel- oped into passionate love. Mrs. Colyer is old enough to be Bartholomew’s mother, and is protected by a plainness of person’ that ought to be proof ugainst even the infatua- tion of youth. Young Bartholomew deciar- ed his love forthe elderly Mrs. Colyer and declared he would never be hippy until he could call ber “his’n.’’ Whateffect this de- claration had upon the wife of the epileptic is not known, but tnat evening she made a pathetic appeal tothe Poor Directors in be- half of her poor, dear husband, and, touched by her tearful entreasies, the directors grant- ect her prayer. This was on Thursday of last week. Two days after Mrs. Colyer appears before ’Squire Chambers, of Harbor Creek. She wis ac- companied by young Bartholomew ‘Twohig, and, introducing berself as Miss Mary Aun Maboney, she requested to be married to the youth at her side. There being nothing out ofthe Way except disparity of years, the ’Squire performed the ceremony, and, as he thought, made Miss Mahoney Mrs. ‘Twohiz.

The ride of the two consulting physicians to Washington must go iato history as one of the most remarkabie on frecord. r. Frank H. Hamilton received the dispatch so mmon- ing bim to Washington at his house, 43 West Thiity-second: street, New York, yesterday. It took him only ten minutes to prepare for the journey. He left the house at about two o’clock, with the remark that he did not know when the next train would start, but that he would get a carriage and go tothe ferry so that he would be — take it. The dispatch, which was brief, he took with him. Hehastenedin acarriage to the Des- brousses street ferry, where he learned that the first train itor Washington was over the Pennsylvania railrond: at 3:40 o’clock. It would arrive in Washington at 10:20 o’clock p.m. Some time was spent in inquiries as to the departure of trains on otber roads. Then he crossed the ferry and entered the Jersey City passenger waiting-room, where he was recog- nized while he was making inquiries at the palace car window. Superintendent Jackson, who was in his office in another part of the depot, was sentfor. A verv brief time sufficed to make him aware of the situation. He bur- ried away from Dr. Hamilton, and seven min- utes later the latter was rushing out of the depot on a special train. It was 3:10 o’clock p.m. when the depot master and the triin dispatchers received notice to be spry. En- gine 915, one of the best of the ordinary engines, with a five-foot driving-wheel, was hitched to a new Eastlake coach, and at 3:29 it was run cut of the depot. The new Eust- lake coaches are chiefly remarkable for their high ceilings, their low and comfortable seats and for the elegance of the panelings of light unstained maple and ash. Kach panel is carved after an original desigu. They run very smoothly. The freight trains were al! got out of the way one after another on side travks in time t» al- low the special to roar past them without slacking speed, but two passenger trains de- layed the doctor fifteen minutes. He ar- rived at Philadelphia at 5o’clock, a distance of $0 miles in 100 minutes. The enzineer was A. Vandergrift and the conductor was H. W. Headly. At Philadelphia a stop of but a few minutes Was made, in which to change en- vines and allow Dr. Agnew to get on the cars. From Philadephia to Wilmington, with a stop at Chester and other places, the run was made in 27 minutes, the distance being 26 miles. A dispatch had been = sent to Wilmington for «a brakeman, and a map named Humphreys was detailed to ‘make the train.”? At5:27 the special came dashing through the city at the rata of at leasteighteen miles an hour, and the intre-. pid brakeman stood near the track. He made «1 desperate grab for tbe rear platform, and at the risk of his life succeeded in gaining a band and foothold. The car steps were pro- tected by a wire railing, and he was carried a covsiderable distance clinging onto this before the conductor came back and unlocked the vate. Tbhetrain arrived at Washington at 7:00 p. m.—an average run from New York of almost fifty miles an hour, and from Phil- adelphia of over fifty-five miles an hour. This is the fastest railroad time for the distance aud considering the stops on record. Testing the Torpedo Ram Alarm. From the New York Trioune. The torpedo ram Alarm steamed away from the ordnance dock in the Brooklyn , Navy Yard at about sunrise vesterday merning for her trip to Yonkers. The object of the series of experiments to be made with the Alarm is to test the Mallory propelling and steering upparatus, the principle of which is as foi- iUWS: The engine communicates its powers cirectly to a vertical sbatt which passes down ‘through the bottom of the boat and is geared to a horizontal shaft, on the end of which is the propeller. Toe shatting ani weuring are inc.osed by, or rather restin, an trou frame- work somewhat Ovalin shape. An auxiliary epgine, operated from the pilot-house, is con- heeled with this frame, and by it the whole thing can be turned in anv direction. If the vessel is going straight ahead the pilot moves a lever, und the propeller, still moving, is juiced utvight angeles with the vessel. Ube iffct of this is, of course, to make her spin uround on hereenter. The gearing is 80 ar- ranced that fifty revolutions of the engine wake seventy-five of the propeller, thus giving yreat speed. The sbafting and gearing are made ot a kind of bronze. The Alarm was yesterday run at medium specd, her propeller making fifty revolutions “minute. Evervthipg was found to work Welland the ram was turned with great euse and rapidity. At 8 o’clock the Alirm cast unchor at Spujten Duyvil, and-a buoy Was Placea there. She then continued on her way to Yonkers, where another buoy was placed, The two buoys are three miles apart, and itis over this course that the Alarm’s trial of speed willbe made. The “slip’’ of her propeller yesterday was 15 per cent; that is, lo per cent less headway was made than there would have been had the screw, instead of turning in the yielding water, been work- ing in a substance which offered perfect re- sistanee. The‘*‘slip’’ on ordinary propellers is about 20 percent. In conversation witia Tribune reporter yesterday Lieutensant Brown, the commander ofthe vessel, said: ‘*The success of the Alarm wilidepend on her speed andthe ease with which she can be handled. She must not only be fast, but must be able to turn with the greatest rapid- ity and ease in anv direction.’* On the trip up the river yesterday a tria! was made of aspeed indicator invented by Ensign Hogg, one ofthe officers of the Alirm. This consists of atin funnel, shiped like an old-fashioned dice-box, Open at both en Is. Krom it extend four hollow inetal tudes meet ing about six inches from the fuuanel and end- ing in a rubber tube which is several vards in length, and bas the otherend fastened to an arrangement on deck which looks like a bar- ometer: but it is so constructed that the mer- cury is not affected by climatic changes or capillary attraction. The speed of the vessel causes the water to rush through the cylinder wnd suck the uir out of the tubes. This makes the mercury rise in the class and a graduated scale shows exactly the speed of the vessel. Yesterday Was the tirst trial of the indicator, but it was found to work perfec'ly. Thetrial of the Alarm will be continued this week and the first part of next. ae ae eit C- oe - eee Eating an Objectionable Agent. From the Fiji Times, May 18th. A strange tale of cannibalism bas been re- orted, with all apparent circumstantiality, rom the interior of Viti Levu. The native teacher stationed at Na Drau, on being sup- plied with food by townsfolk, was horrified to observe that a portion of it was buman flesh. He at once exclaimed against the food and refused to eat of it. Those who brought it to him admitted thatit was human flesh and said they had killed and cooked the Govern- ment officer, and if he persisted in refusing to eatthey would kill and cook him also. In terror of his life he ate a little, but took the first opportunity of escaping from his terri- ble entertainers and made his way to the coast, where he reported the crime and sub- sequent abomination thatjhad been perpetrat- ed. The report seems almost incredible, but itis given on authority which fteaves but lit- tle doubtas to its authenticity. Dissatisfac- tion with the Government of which the officer was the representative is said to have been the cause of the murder. How Princesses Dress. From Olive Logan's London Letter.

PATTI IN LONDON. ——_— Her Popularity Waning and Her Voice ina Transition State. Lenaon Correspondence New York Times. In spite of the great attractiveness which Mme. Patti’s name and Mme. Patti’s gifts and talent bave for European audiences in gen- eral and sight-seers—if I may thus refer to the occasional spectator who goes once a year to listep to Mme. Patti from motives of curi- osity rather than of genuine interest—there 1s no denying that ber popularity is just a httle on the wane. Three years ago stalls for her representations commanded a premiuag, and were only to be had at stationers’. Now they are bought at the box-office of Covent Garden ‘Theater. Three years ago an empty box or an empty stall on a Patti night was never to be seen. Now the spectacle of a tenantless /oge or seat isnotrare. Since Mme. Patti’s separation from the Marquis de Caux she has, of course, lost cast with British upper-tendom, and the stalls and lower boxes are silent while the balcony and amphitheater, somewhat clum- sily goaded into warmth by an Italian claque, supply most of the applause. The principal cause of the decline of Mme. Patti’s popularity, however, is to be looked for else- where thaninthe familiarity growing out of her fifteen years’ acquaintance with English dilettanti or the social displeasure consequent upon her marital misadventures. my judgment, it hes -in the fact she no longer dazzles her audiences in the past. Up to three or (four vears since Mme. Patti’s vocal organs rivaled those ofa bird. The range of her tones far exceeded their present compass; their quality was simply matchless for crystaline clearness and roundness, and the fluency and evenness of ber vocalization were absolutely unique. Time has changed all this. The high notes have departed, the veloute or velvete quality of the tones bas been rubbed off, and as re- gards brilliancy of execution, the artist cannot compete with Mme. di Murska, or Mme. Sem- brich, or Mme. Gerster. Just now, in fact, Mme. Pattiis in a period of transition. She was formerly the queen of light songstresses: if, in the next yearor two, sbe develops his- trionic talent—which she had only possessed thus far in a very moderate degree—she may prove the greatest living dramatic prima donna. Her voice has gained immensely in breadth and vibratory power, and she can make berseif heard over tenor, contralto, band and chorus with little or no effort. In appearance she bas not changed materially. Her features and form have become more womanly, itis true, but she is still pretty— her prettiness growing out of piquancy and expressiveness rather than regulanmty or -mallness of features—and she possesses that lirst and foremost of gifts for a songstress or uctress, Magnetism. Oe A Preacher Charged with Pilfering. Providence (R.1I.) SpecialtoN. Y. Sun. Methodist Episcopal circles were excited to- wehtby « publication in a local paper acvus- iny the Kev. W. F. Whiteher, the leading Methodist clergyman of the city, of piifering rare books from libraries and dealers in old publications. Investigation this evening tenes to confirm the story. Two months ago a Boston dealer of Cornhill noticed in the ‘*Catalogue of Boston Book Sellers’? one or two becks of which he had copies, and which were veryrare. He examined his shelves and found that his own books were missing, He examined :those which were offered for sule, and, finding marks which enabled bim to identify them. sought for the consignee. Learning that Mr. Whitcher was the person, be called upon the reverend gentleman, it is said, and, accusing him of the theft, forced him to make a settlement. About the same time itis averred a Provi- dence dealer in old books was notified of Mr. W bitcher’s acts, and hein turn informed the trustees of the Providence Atheneum, who had been missing old books for more than a vear. They were all Americana, principally town and church histories. Mr. Whitcher was accused of taking them, and did not make a denial. It was also learned that he had taken an exceedingly rare book, the **Roger Williams Key to the Indian Languages,” from Brown University library, and several others from the Rhode Island Historical So- cietv. To each of these institutions he made the best restitution that he could. Some of the volumes he had presumably sold. All of the returned books showed that the library stamps bad been ingeniously erased so that the fibre of the title page was not broken. Mr. Whitcher told one of his parishioners that be had a book entitled “Narragansett Church History” which he had luckily picked up in a junk-shop, and that its title-page was missing. This was one of the books from the Atbenxum. Before the offense was actually tixed upon Mr. Whitcher he was noted for waking wonderful finds in junk stores, old houses and in antiquarian stores of books of which it Was known there were no copies ex- tant outside of those belonging to noted libraries. Mr. Whitcher is now at Martha’s Vineyard. be having been granted a month’s vacatiog by his parish. He has a salary of $2,000, and gets many large fees for marriages. His wife has a handsome income of her own and his father isa wealthy New Hampshire lumper dealer. He is said to feel keenly his unfortunate posi- Lier, byt to deny nothing. He is 35 years old, | w préacher of Abijity and well known in the Providence circuit. There will be no prosecu- tion, but he bas been advised to seek another tield of labor. His church will take steps in the matter at once. English Volunteers. London Letter tothe N. Y. Tribune. There are in all Engiand about 200,000 yol- unteers. More than one-fourth the whole number putin an appearance at Windsor. By the testimony of all observers they were a body of reat soldiers. In physique thev are superior to the line. In perfection of drill thev are undoubtedly inferior, but it seems to be admitted that in the points es- sential to military efficiency in the field they would be more than a match for the same number of British regulars. It is the lament of the British officer in these days that the troops be commands are boys—short in stat- ure—weedy lads, ill-fed, and unable to bear fatigue. The volunteers excited both the admiration and envv of. the reg- ular officer by their museular develop- inent, pedestrian powers, and manifest abil- ity toendure a hard day’s work of any kind. He consoles bimself by criticising their per- formance from the barrack-vard point of view. The march past did not find favor in the eyes of this stern censor. It did not de- serve, he declares, the encomiums bestowed on it. The volunteer officers and sergeants were not up to their work. They “spoilt the appearance of the battalion.”” One mounted officer committed the unheard-of offence of ‘“buigipg’’ his leading compuny: an outrage that apparently ought to have been punished by instant death. Distances between com- panies were not always weil kept. Supernu- merary ranks were not “dressed,” and some of the men actually bad so little sense of self- respect as to swing their arms in walking. Many officers beld their swords badly.

St. Louis Post-Bispatch. Ghursday, July 28, 1881. : — . rfectly healthy. and the best index of that St. ¥ouis Post-Dispatch. ——_ |} OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE OITY ~ [Eatered at the Post-Ofice at Bt. Leuls, Mo., a8 Second class mall matter.) —7 THERE are four members of the Police Board, according to Mayor EWING, who are not opposed to gambling. Mr. Ewina is one of them. The trouble with the editor of the Cincin- nati Commercial is that he imagines that he -isone of the surgeons in charge of GAR- FIELD’s case. This is his latest haRucina- tion. ae Tne President is improving hourly. He has been removed {rom his chamber to facili- tate the taking up of the malarial carpets. The operations performed bv Dr. AGNEW seem to have been bighly successful. BY a superhuman effort the Depublican bas risen tothe supreme altitude of saying that it wishes to have the law against gamb- ling enforced in this city. This is, to some extent, a case of moral reform. —_— ———— _~-—— THERE bas been a slight check in the con- versational flow from the great doctors who are varing forthe wounded President, bit Mrs. Epson, who is a sort of a female mec ical bashi-bazouk, is still on tap. a A RURAL Illinois editor named WALLS has disappeared amid the stinks of Chicago. He drew $1,150 from the bank on the day that he We move for a suspension of The man was evidently not a was last seen. public opinion. country editor. WE are somewhat distressed to observe that our wortby Mayor, in grappling with public questions, is inclined to run to pro- fane expletives. Llis safety-valve seems to be in need of a heavier weight. A Mayor should not blow off at a less pressure than sixty-eight pounds to the square inch. GUITEAU, it is said, spends bis time in jail readipg the Bible and the Constitution of the United States. He ts evidently preparing himself for a more extended career as a Re- yubhean politician. If be is ever turned loose upon society again he will wreak a ter- rible vengeance as a great constitutional law- yer. iv seems that the enlightened Turks are imitating the barbarous Russians in the mat- ter of exiling offensive people to inhospitable Siberia. MIDHAT PASHA and several other devout Moslems identified with the taking- off of AupUL Aziz have been directed to take up permanent residence in that worse than terrestrial Hades. JESSE JAMES has gone to Colorado, which fact is not altogether an unmitigated misfor- tune. The Rocky Mountain Detective Asso- ciation has taken up the chase and JESSE will probably kill a few of its agents before they succeed in preparing bim for interment, and yp ople who have ever had dealings with that organization will agree to forgive JES;:E much of his wickedness. YESTERDAY the Republicon undertook to give the present composition of the Supreme Court of the United States. It included Jus- tice SWAYNE as a member,though he resigned + last winter, and omitted Justice HUNT, who was appointed in December. It is evident thatthe Lepublican drew its roster of the Supreme Court from that wonderful iron tafe devoted to archives, “which contains the full newpaper history of the country from 1808 down to the prescnt time.”’ Tue ‘cranks’ still are turoing up all over the country with remarkable theories as to their places and dignities. Aninsane black- smith yesterday wentintothe Albany State- house and said that he was the Adjutant-Gen- eral of the State. He was armed with an old-fashioned shotgun. The Angel GABRIEL has materialized in Georgia with a Smith & Wesson six-shooter, and the Emperor of China called on Sunday on the Governor of Wisconsin with arifle. All of these facts go to show that lunacy, like suicide, is epidemic, THE three tailors of Tooley street seem to have moved to Vicksburg. The people of that town have drawn up a big set of resolutions, denouncing one Dr. REILLY, in the name of the people living along the Mississippi River and its tributary streams, for abolishing the health ..spection station below Vicks»urg. Inasmuch as the Doctor acted under orders from Washington it is rather bard to bring an avalanche of some twenty millions of men, women and chidren downon himin this rushing way and Vicksburg ought to relent. Jt is glorious to have a giant’s strength, but, ~@le AT last Mr. ELI PERKINS has placed bhim- self indelibly upon the black list of the American railways as a forger and retail dealer in free passes. This will have a tend- ency to cut off his transportation and circum- scribe bis orbit. The general public will not be brought into contact with bim so closely as heretofore, but the sacred cause of Truth will not be advantaged in the slightest degree. Mr. PERKINS can do bis lying in one place as Wellas another. He can remain in New York all the year round and write bis imaginative letters from Texas and the West just as ‘though be were on the spots described, lrut the Aafrangement will suit the landlords much Detter than the old system. A CONVENTION of paper-makers was held | Sblerdey at Saratoga, and the new Senator | Mitten, wood-pulp monopclist, was a pie- tureeque figure. Ie eulogized the tariff, to which he attributed the excellent health of the paper trade, and expressed bimeelf in fa- vor of a Government subsidy for a steamship | Wine that would enable him to ship his paver - to Brazil in competition with the pauper- made paper of Europe. It seems to us that while the Government is at it it should also provide every paper manufacturer with a > handsome residence fitted up in Eastlake style, a carriage and pair of horses, and ex- tend the franking privilege to such members of the trade as do not happen to occupy seats in Congress. Ove highly esteemed friend Col. DON MORRISON is an illustration in himself of the truth of the adage that ‘“‘the spirit grows with its allotted space, the mind is narrow in a narrow sphere.” A month or two ago he was bitterly opposed to elevated railways on principle. He bas just returned from a visit to New York with broadened views. He now looks upon these institutions as symbols of progress and blessingsto mankind. Now that the fare between St. Louis and New York has been reduced to ridiculously low figures, we trust that a number of our old citizens who are yet writhing in the bonds of prejudice will embrace the opportunity to slip down East and rub up against some of the new-fangled notions that have obtained a footing there during the last half of the present century. IT is quite probable that Senator EDMUNDs, of Vermont, will be appointed to the vacancy on the Supreme bench occasioned by the death of Justice CLIFFORD. New England will claim the vacancy and there are no small- bore politicians up that way to be rewarded for dirty work, if we may except BILL CHANDLER. As a jurist and a friend of BLAINE it is possible that Brive will put in a claim. In fact, it is more than likely that he will, but the day bas passed for billeting po- litical tricksters on the pension rolls of the Supreme Court. It is necessary now to stim- ulate the court with a little brain, honesty and legal lore. Mr. LDMUNDsS is a lawyer of great ability, his personal character is good, and if he didn’t look so much like the picture of St. Jerome and was not so thoroughly satu- rated with New England prejudices, we would almost feel at times like admiring him. been cuilty of something very serious in charging that Mayor EWING has arrayed him- self on the side of the professional gamblers in this city. Let us see about it. According toauthority, entirely satisfactory to us, Mr. EWING recently remarked that certain prom- inent gamblers inthis city had rendered him special service at the last municipal election, and be did not, therefore, fee] disposed to persecute them. We published this state- ment, and, on the Mayor’s return to the city, sent a reporter to interview him. He did not enter a denial, and, though the opportunity was afforded him, he did not express the slightest hostility to public gambling, though he knew that issue was before the public. Po- hee Commissioner MAXON, in an interview with a Post-DISPATCH reporter, very clearly intimated that Mavor EWInG and Mr. KIN- KEADP were responsible for the inactivity of the Board touching the open defiance of PATE. With this before us we bave not hesitated to identify Mr. EWING with the gambling inter- ests of the city. This morning,in an inter- view witha Globe-Denocrat reporter, he says that four members of the Police Board are not opposed to gambling. The antecedents and inclinations of Mr. EL wING lead us to believe that he is not the one shining exception. We would be sorry to misjudge the Mayor, but be is certainly indebted to himself for the peculiar position that he now occupies before the public. The views which he communi- cates to-day toa Post-DISPATCH reporter are emphatic and sulphurous, but they do not belp him much. MOVED by the terrible stories told of the adulteration of beer, the State Board of Health in New York has directed a skillful chemist to analyze samples of all the lager manufactured in the Siate and carefully re- port the same. The fact that no two brands of beer taste alike, though supposably made from the same general formula, naturally leads the public to believe that neariy every brewer bas some peculiar trick of his own by which he supplements his hops and imparts a special twang to his beer. A faithful and honest in- spection, such as is proposed in New York, will render grenxt service to the public. It may be that the adulteration to which modern beer is subjected is not deleterious, but the ,|mpression prevails that itis. Temperance reformers would sug- gest that the Way to the bad effects of doctored beer would be to taboo the beverage entirely; but it so happens that several millions of people are zoine to irri- gate themselves with the nectar of Gam- brinus just as long as it is manufactured, and ifthe pubiic health 1s to be vuarded care must be taken to keep beer pure. The chem- ist who has been employed to investivate the product of the New York breweries will be subjected to creat temptation. If there are brewers ih that part of the country who have a way of manufacturing beer on a cheap scale, they will be willing to pay liberally for a favorable report. Itis to be hoped that this expert is a rigidly honest man and that he will see to it that the samples furnished bim for analyzation are not provided speci- ally by the brewers. best escape THE reply of France to the Spanish request forindemnity for outrages in Oran is un- friendly in the extreme, and public opinion in both countries is freely voiced in » manner which will not tend to make the Repub- licandtbe peninsular kingdom any better friends. I[tissincular to note how destiny has implacably separated the three countries which, through the affinities of biood, lan- guage and faith, should be the closest friends in Europe. France has spasmodically labored to unite the Latin lands from time to time, but the effort has been vain. Even the seatiny ofthe Bourbon family upen the throne of Spain brought the countries no nearer to- gether. To-day the debate of France is not with the @erman or the Englishman, but with the Italian and the Spaniard. Every } | proaching. alliance between them has been futile and | short-lived, as was that, for instance, which culminated at Solferino. Adverse fate seems to hold these kinfolk apart and to take a malicious pleasure in widening the breach between them, and yet together they could rule Europe. While both Spain and Italy have cause of complaint against France, they are even more bitter against each other. The refusal of Spain to accept the House of Savoy as its Moses to lead the people out of the wilderness of Democracy has been tacitly re- sented by Italy. And the conduct of Italy to the Pope has called into life all the fierce re- ligious zea] of Catholic Spain in his behalf. The powerful Cardinal Archbishop of To- ledo, the Primate of Spain, has just issued a pastoral calling upon the people to use every means in their power, whether moral or physical, to restore to the Papacy its temporal sovereignity. The letter is a most violent one and it has created a great deal of excitement in Spain. The Government has apologized to Italy, but the people are with the Primate, and the outrages to which the body of Pius IX. was subjected have not tended to lessen the fervor of the popular feeling. — ed WE never thought that we would be called upon to correct an erroneous statement upon the part of our usually fair and philanthropic contemporary the Kirksville Democrat, but the assertion made this week that the Post- DISPATCH was exercised because “the St. Louis rabble could not be gratified witha circus performance at the hanging of the murderer KRING” is so wide of truth that we are to some extent pained, shocked, dis- gusted and alarmed. To the best of our be- lief we have never clamored forthe blood of a human being. We are not much in favor of gallows, whipping-posts or barbarous methods of correcting society, be they what they may. In the case of KRING we believed that the courts were being trifled with and that justice was being mocked. KRING was a self-confessed murderer, and if ever a man deserved the full penalty of the law, he was and is that man. We seriously thought in the first instance that Judge SHERWOOD had overstepped his authority in interfering to extend KRriING’s lease of life at the very last moment, and we are not altogether satistied now on that point. Our indignation, however, was mainly pro- voked bv the fact that our courts had been wrestling for six years with KRING and had been unable to dispose of him, through inex- cusable bungling as one side and the employ- ment of technicalities on the other. We rec- ognized that this sort of shillv-shallying was demoralizg to society, because it could have no other effect than to fill the vicious classes with contempt for the law. We are not anxious for the life of KRING, but we be- lieve it would have been better for society if he had been dropped from the scaffold the last time it was erected for him. With the TALBOTT boys the case was different. Their guilt was not clearly established, andif it had been we must insist that there is a vast difference he- tween killing a tyrannical father and slaying a married woman who refuses to make a play- thing of her virtue. The TALBOTT boys were fit subjects for executive clemency, and we believe that Governor CRITTENDEN would have commuted their sentence but for the fear of provoking the ire of the Nodaway county people,who were bent on having a hanging *‘bee.”’ PERSONAL. ——— —The Empress Eugénie has gone to Badeil in the Swiss canton of Aragau to take the waters, —Some of Conkling's friends in New York talk of running him for Congress, and are looking around for a rotten borough. —Mr. James Gorton Bennett arrived in- New York from Europe on Sunday, accompanied by his private secretary, Mr. Chamberlain. —The American people are becoming highly educated on the subject of gun-shot wounds.

A petition for an injunction was filed to- day in the Circuit Court against the Pullman Palace Car Company and Fruin & Swift, the contractors. The car company some time since purehased some property on Scott avenue, near the fPacific track, for the erection of repair shops. The contractor went ahead with the work and it isnow alleged by A. Walker, a tenant of Michael Cahill, who owns the adjacent pro- peity, 2117 Scott avenue, that on the 14th of July the workmen entered the yard, com- menced to dig it up, excavating and tearing down tbe outer premises and destroying the closet and shed. It is comp'‘ained that the yard has been excavated to such an extent as to render 1t impossible to obtain water from the well. Mr. Walker further complains that the contractors have torn down a shed in which he Kept valuable huat- ing dogs. The Pullman Company not long ago contemplated the locition of its car- construction shops here, an enterprise that would have given employment to several hundred people, but a spirit of opposition was manifested by the conservative property owners of the old St. Louis pattern, and the vast interest was located in Chicago. Even in the matter of locating arepair shop here the company received no encouragement, but on the other hand Scott avenue put up its back and placed every impediment inthe way. A great deal of bad feeling has beeen engendered among property owners and tenants in the neighborhood of the Paci- fic track from Fourteenth street west on ac- count of the grade war with the city author- ities, and new corporations proposing to set- tle in the city are not welcomed very cordial- lv. The so-called level cross- ing at Scott avenue and Naomi street is practically impassable for vehicles or pedestrians, by reason of the height of the tracks and the labyrinth of metals, and residents are cut off from com- munication with Chouteau avenue and the south, unless they go west to the Jefferson uvenue bridge. The grievance which Mr. Walker ventilates in the courts in the case of the Pullman Car Compan will be heard before Acting Judge Thomas next Monday, and as special damage of a@ peculiar nature is alleged in, this petition the coyrt will probably find no lees} difficulty in the way of issuing an order to restore Mr. Walk- er’s cioset and his dog-shed, or at leastin re- straining further demolition of the premises. ABOUT TOWN. | ~ SERGEANT JENKS entered upon the duties of acting captain of the Third Police District this morning. LETTERS of administration were granted to-day to Joseph Emanuel, executor of Jacob Emanuel; estate valued at $15,000. A ROOM especially for examinations is to be added tothe St. Louis Free Dispensary, southwest corner Sixth and Biddle streets. THE police captains of the various districts this morning received additional photographs for the rogues’ gallery which is nowa fea- lure of each police station in the city. JUDGE DENISON, of the Second District Police Court, is one of a committee appointed to confer the initiatory degree of the Legion of Honor on James O. Broadhead on his ar- rival from the East. THERE were twenty-two cases on the docket of the Second District Police Court to-day, und the sessien lasted one hour. Nine of the cases were for disturbing the peace and four for being drunk on the public streets. THE many friends of Matt Crowley, the newsboy, will be pleased to learn that on vesterday the motion for a new trial was sus- tained in his case and the cause dismissed. Thus he can again hold up his head among his fellow men. = THE police have been requested to look out for Mrs. Elizabeth Layer, German, 41 years old, five feet five inches high, weighs 160 pounds, and has dark eyes and hair. She made her escape from the Insane Asylum at an early hour this morning. ABOUT 3:50 vesterday afternoon as Mr. Da- vid Meehan was driving along St. Louis ave- nueé,kis horse suddenly became frightened by a passing ice wagon andranaway. Mr. Meehan was thrown violently to the ground, but sus- tained no serious injuries. The buggy was demolished.

THE CHAMBER OF DEATH. “Come and Kiss Me Once Before I Say Good-Bye.” a —_—_— John T. Garbett Blows Out His Brains in His Bedroom. His Little Daughter Witnesses Her Mother Attempting to Prevent the Deed. Terribly Pathetic Picture of a Scene En- acted at 2208 Jackson Street. Evalena Garbett, a bright girl of 14 years, and her mother were sleeping at 3:30 o’clock this morning 1n the front room down stairs at No. 2208 Jackson street, when they were awakened by a rapping at the window shut- ter. When Mrs. Garbett called out, “‘Who is there?’ a voice on the sidewalk replied, * ‘it’s John; let me in.” In a few moments the door was opened, and John T, Garbett, the husband and father, was admitted. A few words were exchanged, when the man began to undress, thoughtfully plac- ing bis clothes on a chair near the bed. When he had undressed, and his wife thought he was going to bed, he turned to her and said: *“*Come ana kiss me once be- fore I say good-bye.” She well knew the meansng of those few words, for she had often heard ber unbappy husband say he would end bis own life. she rushed to him as be took bis revolver from his clothes, and, raising her arm, attempted to hoid him. From the bedin which the little girl was lying helpless with fright sbe called to her father ‘for God’s sake and hers notto kill him- self.?’ Strengthened with the determination to save her husband’s life, Mrs. struggled with him,but he quietly beld her at alin’s distance from himself. Finding her strength failing and her husband intent on ending his existence,she released her hold on him'and ran to the door to call forhelp. He watched ber as she turned the Key, and,turn- ing to his daughter, looked at her fora mo- ment and then, lIving down on _ the floor, placed the barrel of the revolver just over bis ight ear and discharged the con- tents of one of the chambers into his brain, killing himself instantly. The girl closed her eves in horror, and the mother rushed to the side of her prostrate busband’s form, vainly calling bim. Life was extinct, but the blood, still warm, poured outof the ghastly hole and formed a pool aboutthe dead man’s head. The neighbors were around and rushed into the but were too late to any assistance. The body was taken in charge by the police until the arrival of Coroner Frank this morn- ing. When the excitement was over the poor woman lost the strength she had during the struggle. The following sworn statement was given by the little girl between sobs and tears: “The deceased is my father. He is 54 years ofage; was bornin Virginia; |was married, and a heater at Helmbacher’s forge by occu- pation. This morning at about 3°30 o’cloek he came home, and, taking off his ciothes, he lay down on the floor, and shot himself with arevolver, which he had taken with him yesterday morning on atrip to Bremen.

The rest of the left leg below the knee became shriveled up, and with each change of the weather he would suffer severely. He often } complained of the pains and said, “I suppose I will haye to have it amputated.and if it goes John will go with it.”’ In the fits of melan- cholia that resulted from these pains he often | spoke of committing suicide, and his wife was well warned of her husbands intentions. Yesterdaymorning he said he was going to Dremen, in the northern part ofthe city. He had had some truvuble with some person there and never went harmed. About 9 o’clock he asked his wife for bis pis- tol, but, suspecting that he would do some- thing rasb,she begged him not to take it witb him; buthe persisted and it was finally given tohim.

The Republican of yesterday contained an item stating that Mr. Geo. A. Schutte, the Mayor’s assistant secretary, bad sent in his resiyna- tion, and that he had been led to do this on account of the unpleasant relations exist- it g between bim and His Honor. The Mayor hud evidently been laying for Kelso, and he went for him at once. “Say, Kelso, why did you publish that item about Mr. Schutte’s resignation being caused by unpleasant relatiuns in the office’”’ he queried. ‘+Because I thought it was so, and was told about it by a reliable gentleman in the buiid- ing,’’? was the answer. “*T don’t believe‘a G—d d—n wordof it. | think you manufactured it yourself. I know nobody told you any such stuff.”’ The Republican wan _ replied _ tnat he did not do that way; thathe always had au- thority for whatever he wrote, and he rather intimated that anybody who asserted tbe contrary was qualified to enter in any race where Anapias was eligible. 2 ‘‘Whotold you aboutit, ’ beganthe Mayor again. “That I refuse to say.”’ ‘‘You do’’’ said Mr. Ewing, who was growing more excited every minute. * You do?

Mr. Ewing began to see that be had made a mistake, and as he looked = around and saw the crowd, including several news- paper men, standing around, he started off in a hurry, merely repeating his statemeat about bis opinion of the man who turnisbed the basis of the item in discussion. improper treat- A COLLISION.

- St, Ronis Post-Dispatch, Thursday, July 28, 1881. a ~ MISS PAMELA’S COURTSHIP. a" BY RUTH RANSOM, ; The icy brillianey of the freezing February ne was scin lating its polar splendor over the pine thickets and snow-crusted wil- dernerses of the oe ae Gorge”—a solitary valley amid the wooded heights of Vermdnt. The little brook was cased in steel-blue ar- r of ice; the frozen mountain-crests lifted ir bald and rocky peaks against theldeep, ziing blue of the winter sky; and the Wind, asitrushed howling down the glen, shook the very foundation of the farm-house in its mad glee. **Yes, there they go!” said Miss Pamela, liftin the corner of the window curtain to look down the long perspective of the winding road. “Four of ’em. In two cutters, with two wolf-robes and two sets of sleizh-beils. And it’s the third time that Rutb and Bessie have been asked out sleigh-ri‘ling within the month, and nobody ever thinks of me!” And it was a littie strange, too, when ong came to think of it. Miss Pamela Pipely was Spemp young woman of three-and-thirty, th rosy cheeks, snapping black eyes and a gure 28 straight and trim asa sapling pine. e had net Ruth’s melting, almond-shaped eyes|perhaps, nor the peach pink of Bessie’s #adiant complexion, but she was universally acknowleayid to be the best hand at pickling and preserving ia all the county around. She couldn’t quote Swinburné ox Jean In- gelow, but she managed her widowed brolh- er’s household with a firm yet gentle hand, and had ackestful of patch-work bed-qilta ~= crocheted tidies in the big old Igurret up staire. In fact, Miss Pamela Pipely would have made a first-class wife to any man—if only the bachelors could have been brought to per- _teive a fectwhich was so manifestly to their Wdyantice: oe a eee F | _ Bo Miss Pipely sat before the fire of blaz- bi lots all mossed over with silver-gray nge, and bubbling out their resinous hearts beneath the fiery ordeal of the flames, and knitted away at ’Squire Sam’s gray-mixed stockings as if she were on a Wager agalust old Time, and was resolved to conquer at all hazards. Andthe dragon’s head that was earved on the o!d mahogany chair opposite, and the claw-legs andthe queer little brass knobs scattered all over it, seemed to wink soberly at berin the pleasant light as she worked. It was an heirloom in the fami- ly, that old chair, aud the Pipelys were proud of it. Just then there camethe merry jingle of sleigh-belis up the road, like a peal of minia- ture lauchter. ‘Some one else out for a sleigh-ride,’’ thought Miss Pamela, without turning her head. But togber infinite amazement the tiny peals ceased to chime; the sleigh had stopped. **GJood gracious!’’ said Miss Pamela,taking a burried observation from behind the netted fringe of the curtains, ‘‘It’s Mr. Hedger. And he’s coming bere, too!” Mr. Hedger came in—a stout, middle-aged man, with light blue eyes shining behind his epectacies, brown hair just sprinkled with gray, ind aseal muffler buttoned up to his very nose. “Good morning, Miss Pameia’’” said he, pleasantly. **Good morning!” said Miss Pamela. *l’ve called on business,’’ said Mr. Hedger, who was one of those uocanonized social mar- tyrs, a bashful old bachelor. Miss Pamela, to be sure, was an old maid, but she wasn’t inthe least degree basnaful, eo that perhaps the two were not evenly matched. “On business?’’ repeated the lady. “I'll eall my brother at once.”’ “Oh, don’t do that, Miss Pamela!” said Mr. Hedger, lifting his hand deprecatingly. **No?”’ Miss Pamela raised her jet-black eyebrows in some surprise. *“Beceause my business was with you es- pecially,’’ he explained. *Oh 199 Miss Pamela sat down again, mechanically crimping the borders of her apron with the finger and thumb of her left hand, while a very pretty blush crept over her face. ‘“l’ve been thinking it over for some time,” said Mr. Hedger, rather abruptly. “Have you?’ said Miss Pamela. And the crimping operation went on faster than ever. “Qf course I know it’s taking a great lib- erty,’’ said the gentleman, apolozetically. “Oh, don’t speak of it!’’ said the lady. “And then, you know, we are almost strangers,’’ he added. “Oh, that makes no difference!” said Miss Pamela, burriedly. “Tecan hardly muster courage enough to ask.’’ said he. **Don’t be afraid!’ sweetly smiled the black-eyea damsel, wondering what Ruth and Bessie would say if they were to come home and iind her engaged. **You will forgive my audacity’ he mur- mured, moving his chair a trifle nearer. **Of course !’’ responded Miss Pipley. “Well, then,” said Mr. Hedger, plunging headlong into his subject, **will you sell me that old mahogany dragon’s head chair of ours for my collection of antiques? I am told t has arecord for a century and a half, and I have. long been anxious to pos- FERS it. Expense will be no object to me, as my chief pleasure lies in accumulating these valuable objects of vertu.”’ Miss Pamela turned red and white—the folds of the apron fell from her hand. Figur- atively speaking, she froze over at once. “I prefer to drive no bargain for any fam- ily relics,’ said she, stiffly. “*Rut—” **Tam sorry to disappoint’ you, but it is really quite out of the question,” said Pa- mela. **Might I continue to hope—” “You mav continue to hope nothing!’’ severely spoke the lady. Aud Mr. Hedger, beginning vaguely to sus- t that something was wrong, stumbled awkwardly outof the room, while Pamela put her head down in her hands, and began to cry a little. “I thought he was going to propose,” said she. “And {did like bim—and I was going tosay yes! And to think that he only wanted ape orrid old dragon’s-head chair, after In the wood-vard outside, Mr. Hedger en- countered ’Squire Samuel Pipely, who was splitting wood like a good-natured Goliath. “Ohb!’’ said the ’Squire. “’Pears to me you made a short stav, Hedger!” “I don’t think your sister was pleased,” said Mr. Hedger.

White Rock, Nevada. Special Correspondence the Post-Dispatch. WuitrE Rocs,-Nevapda, July 20.—Far away in the mortheast corner of Nevada is a range Of mountains known as the Bull Run Range. SO many and varying are the tales told whereby this moun- tain range obtained its name thatJ will not attempt to repeat any of them. It is enough to say that most residents of Nevada “now them by that name, and they can be readi!¥ found on railroad and other maps lately pub- St. Louisans may feel some intercst {mt Jearmipg that some of her old citizens are ‘‘rustling aroynd” in this region hortag thereby to tégain wealth which was once theirs. Many will remember old John How. ex-Mayor of st. Louis. Ne is here, Going good service as Indian agent to the Shoshone Reservation at Duck Valley, which is about twenty miles north of White Rock ond Silver Creek settlements. W. Pogue, who twenty vear ago wasin busi- ness withthe late Major McHatton when trad- ing in mules and stock, is a well-known and successful rancher on Silver Creek. Col. Dow, who for a_ time boarded at Gratiot Street Prison because of his misdirected efforts during the late historic unpleasantness looms up 9o¢- casional y about six feet three Inches in his moccasins from out of a mountain mist. He isthe ‘*Leaiher Stocking’ of Eastern Ne- vada, and appears alternately and frequently altogether in the characters of ‘“Injun Fighter,’’ “Prospector,” ‘Attorney at Law,” ‘*Notary,”’and last, though not least,as ‘*One of the Bovs.’’ Here Van Wisker made his camping ground for the greater part of the last two years. Heis away East now, perhaps in St. Louis, representing the Brown and Urten Mining Company. It is quite likely Van will make his pile, for he has struck a good thing and has made friends inevery camp. Old Judge Borrette. once of St. Louis, and for years our Postmaster and Justice of the Peace, keeps on the even tenor of his way. His ranche at the mouth of Silver Creek Canyon is one of the green spots on earth. Away upin the canyon, on the sides of old Pennsylvania Hill, vears ago the old man stuck his pick, handied his shovel and his drill and blasted out many and many aton of ore that set the whole country wild. It assayed faraway up in the thousand. Men came from farand wide to make new locations or try and jump the old man’s claims. Butthe old man and his boys still ‘*holid the fort’’ for the day when the capital- ist will come laong and buy fora few thou- sands that which in all likelihood willjproduce millions. Several large sales of mines located on this range have taken place lately. It is here that Ed. Stokes’of Jim Fisk notori- ety, has recuperated financially by the sale of the “Infidel”? mine for $300,000; and we have rumors that his *‘Kingston’” mine has been sold for $3,000,000. These are figures, but not “facts,”? that I can vouch for. Dame Rumor is not always truthful: evidently she had not the same moral training in her vouth as Ingersoll or Washington. The Biue J wicket Mining company of White Rock have also sold their mines and mill to a London company represented by Morgan. Drexel & Co., for one million ster- ling. A newsixty :timp mill will be com- menced about the tirst or second week in Aurust. Charley Colhaner, the well known banker and speculator of Chicago negotiated the sale and w.l! probably be one of the direc- tors of the new company. Other large sales are in prospect and all things look well for White Rock and Tusca- rota being the liveliest mining districts in the countrys, SAGE BRUSH, CLEANSE and moisten the dry and sticky mouth of patients and refresh them with Hop Bitters diluted with cool water.

Sergt. Boyd and Officer Sayers raided Man- ning’s faro rooms on North sixth street yes- terday afternoonand captured the proprie- tors and two employes, who spent the night in the Chestnut Street Station. The rowing match for the Excelsior medal will take place on Sunday, September 4, at 4 p.m. The race will extend from the bridge to the Arsenal. The Western, the Mississippi andthe Magnolia clubs will be represented. Drs. Carson and Whittaker think that there is something radically wrong in the free dis- ensary at Sixth and Biddle streets: in fact it is not a free dispensary since some of the at- we physicians ask fees for their ser- vices. John Hughes, while bathing in the river at the foot of Chouteau avenue vesterday after- noon, sank, and his brother James, in going to his rescue, also sank. Both were drowned. John was only nine years old and his brother James eleven. Last night Mr. Jobn Mills was made the re- Cipient of an elegant silver water pitcher,gob- let and salvor by the Sons of Scotia, at No. 14 North Fourth street. Mr. Alexander Me- Millen made the presentation speech. The occasion Was a delizbtful. one.

Preparations fora Chinese funeral which were observed yesterday afternoon attracted much attention in the neighborhood of the Grand Street Ferry to Brooklyn. The de- ceased map Was named Con Suito, and be was | a laundryman at No. 178 First avenue. Una- able to send his body back to China, the friends of Con Suito, were forced to content themselves with burying their departel one inthe unhallowed soil of the Cemetery of the Evergreens. Thirty-five carriages fol- lowed the hearse. The pall-bearers and mourners were cladin white. The bearers were followed by acoach containing a bas- ket of wax candles and joss-sticks for use at the burial. Next came a band of musicians, who made all the noise they could with gongs, cymbals and horns. Only one woman was no- ticed in the procession; she was white, with regular Caucasian features. The master of ceremonies rode on the hearse and continually scattered to the wind small bits of rice paper. When the grave was reached. the* musicians made day hideous while the coffin was lowered by the eight white-robed bearers. When the earth had been leveled, a banner was planted at each end of the mound. The joss-sticks were aiso lighted upon the grave, burning with a pleas- antodor. At the same time alittle fire was kindled at the side and paper money was burnedthere. The remainder of the rice paper was pinned to the grave. Then the friends of the dead man passed inturn around the grave and made a low bow to it with clasped hands uplifted. Already there are a number of Chinese graves in the Cemetery of the Evergreens, the only cemetery hereabout which is atronized by them. The graves are grouped together. mt ——_———S ——_ oe oe... — .

Mayor Ewing was in consultation for over an bour this morning at the Four Courts with Commissioner Cupples. Whatthe con- ference was about no one knows, but the two gentlemen went into it with very grave faces, and came out in high good humor. A PostT- DISPATCH reporter met the Mayor just after the executive session was over and asked him what he meant by saying that four mem- bers of the board were not opposed to gam- bling. “I bave taken a new departure,” he replied. “Hereafter I mean to talk just as lit- tle as possible to you gentlemen of the press. That is another instance of how a remark may be tortured away from its original inten- tion.”’ ‘*Then 1 understand that you did members of the not sa that four Police Commission were not opposed to gambling? Am I to report you as denying the assertion ’”’ “No. You can let it stand. We have agreed to let this matter drop,and I will say nothing more upon the subject.” “But, Mr. Ewing, I do not believe you can Jet the matter drop asit stands now. What are the names of these members of the board who are not opposed to gambling?’”’ “T will say nothing more about matter.”’ “Mr. Ewing, are you opposed to yam- bling?’ . “lam not. As long as the law stands against gambling I will execute it, but per- sonally, as far as I am invself concerned, I am not opposed to gambling.’’ “It is commonly reported upon the streets that you have admitted that you were ‘inder obligations to Pate and McChesney for ser- vices during the late municipal elections, and that you did nct mean ——”’ ‘It is a diod-damned lie!” he broke out hotly: ‘‘it is an infernal, abominable, God- damn: d lie,and you will do me afavor by telling your informant that he isa liar, with my compliments. 1 know what is at the bote tom of this attack on me in the PostT-DiIs- PATCH, and any man who says that Iam un- der obligations whatever to anv gambler lies, and knows that he lies when he says so.’’ “You had better tellyne the names of the other three Commissioners.’’ **No; we have patchedeveryvthing up and you can ntake the balance confess their own sine.

Officer Cassidy Gets the $100 Re- ward Offered by the Governor. - — —_— The Prisoner Relates the Details of the Murder—His Former Relations With Valle. The Chicago and Alton train that ran into Union Depot at 8 o’clock this morning brought a passenger welcome to the police in the person of Emmet Jones, the negro who killed Antoine Valle, the captain of the watch on board the steamboat Lady Lee, at the foot of Olive street, on the 16th inst. The facts of the murder as ascertained at the time are well known. It was about 3 p. m., and the deck-bands were lazily working aboutthe levee ina warm sun, when they were startled bv the reports of a pistol. Rushing to the larboard side of the boat the deck-hands and officers found Antoine Valle lying dead in his hammock, with two wounds in his right side. Two of the deck-hands saw iKmmet Jones approach the dead man a few seconds before and saw him leave the spot immediately after and cross over to the deck of the Fannie Lewis, a boat moored by the side of the Lady Lee. Thousands of persons were bustling along the shaded west plane of the levee at the time, while all the boats were crowded, but the murderer walked up the levee at an ordinary gait and escaped. The description of Jones was tele- grapbed toall the police stations and the out- lets of the city guarded, but in vain. The man escaped.and since then a huudredgclews have heen followed unsuccessfully. A week ago Capt. Huebler' of the Third District said he had no _ hopes of capturing the murderer outside of Officer Pat Cassidy. Officer Cassidy has been doing that duty in the Third District, and knows not only the negroes but can identify a knife, stick or any jece of personal property wherever he finds tand nameits owner. Accordingly, when Capt. Huebler received a pointer from a pri- vate source he detailed Officer Cassidy to fol- lowitup. Yesterday atelegram arrived in this city as follows: **BRAIDWOOD, ILL., July 27. **T have arrested Emmet Jones. “CASSIDY.” This morning the prisoners and officers ar- rived, and Jones was at once placed in the hold over at the Four Courts,when a reporter found bim this morning and obtained the fol- lowing story of the relativon of Jones and Valle and the killing. ‘‘The first time I ever met H. Antoine Valle,’’ said Jones, who isa well built negro 24 years old, was three vearsagointhe south. It was on board a boat called Yazoo Valley. I went onas deck hand. Valle wascaptain of the watch. I never saw him before this event. Had heard other negro talk of him asa hard-hearted, cruel negro. I was sitting aft one day with my shoes off when he came back and ordered me forward. I said I would go as soon as I got my shoes on. He began to curse and damn me, and picked up a piece of coal to throw at me, but he did notthbrow it. I went forward, and after that trip had nothing todo with him until four weeks ago, when some of my friends per- suaded me to make atrip on the Lady Lee. knew that Artoipe was captain of the watch, and I[ was afraid of him, but I finally went. We went up the river without having any trouble, but when we were near Kansas City taking on wood he came back to me and Woke me up and ordered me to go forward. I said I would when | buttoned my pants. He hada club in his hand and ordered me to go right away. I went forward and helped let down the stage. Ithen brought on a load of wood to the siile where he was, but was afraid of him, and the next time I went to the other side. George Washington, another roustabout, said Valle was following me. Hesaid, ‘Old nigger, I’ll beat the life out of you yet.’ Washington asked me why I didn’t reply,and I said I had not heard Valle. Wihen I got to the wood-pile he struck me across the head with a piece of cord- woed, cudting my earin two. When I came to I was iu the office, and the mate tied my ear up to my head, so that {t would nof fal] off.

On Wednesday the Marshal called me out of the car, took me to town and . locked me up. Officer Cassidy pointed me out to him.” “Was there any reason for Antoine Valle disliking vou so much?’’ “I don’t know that lever did anything wrong, but he seemed bent on killing me. I have enemies in the city on account of some woman business. and I believe Antoine Valle was paid to kill me. I was afraid of him. He was tireman and I was deck-hand and he could easily kill me.’ Jones is an intelligent young negro. He has been working on the mver for eignt years. Braiawood, Ill., where Jones was captured, is 207 miles from St. Louis on the Chicago and Alton Road. The Governor offered a reward of $100 for the arrest of Jones, but the murderer seemed to too well secreted for discov- erv. {t was well known that four vears ago, during the _ rvilroad strike, Emmet Jones had worked in the coal mines at Braidwood, on the Chicago and Alton Railroad. At this place there are seven coal shafts in active operation, and about 500 negroes are employed in the mines.

COTTRILL CAUGHT. The Bill-Poster’s Connection With the Pickwick Kesults in Trouble. A Chicago paper publishes the following under the caption: ‘*The woes of the strand- ed actor—A few specimen calamities:’’ “Lately a company was formed here which met with a sad fate. It was to visit St. Louis and produce ‘La Mascotte.’ The engage> ment fell through, the manager says, on account of the failure of the St. Louis arties to come totime. A suit to recover Znenages was instituted on Monday against the Pickwick Theater of St. Louis anda St. Louis man named Cottrill.”’ The “man named Cottrill’’ to whom the above refers isthe well known bill-poster. A Post-DISPATCH reporter called upon him this morning to obtain some account of his experience as ajoint manager in the show business and to get at the merits of the damage suit. Mr. Cottrill said; “I know nothing of any suit having been filed and care very little if one has been fi:ed. They can have no action against me. I am ia no way responsible for any rangement made by Mr. Phillips in Chicago or elsewhere. As tothis engagement to play Audran’s new opera at the Pickwick, I was in Chicago mvyselfa short time since ar- | and was toid by Amy Gordon that the com- | pany engaged by Phillips to come here was not competent to present a new opera. It would | have been a miserable failure. They had been reb2arsing three weeks and yet-did not | understand the music. It was a very poor company in the estimation of Amy Gordon, | and all the rehearsing in the world would not | have led to success. I was no party to the | engagement. Miss Gordon received $4) for the trouble of rehearsing, and there the mit- | ter dropped. As I understood it a man named Raymond was directing the rehearsals for Phillips. 1 think that I understand enough of the show business to know that during the summer season a man- ager cannot afford to enterinto any arrange- | ment with a company on salary terms. | told Phillips when he first spoke about opening the Pickwick season thatif he chose to make engagements on the percentage plan I would stand in with him, sharing the profits or the losses. That is the fullest extent of my | connection with the Pickwick. Phillips went ' to work, however, engaging attractions with- out my authority on the salary system, and the season, so far as it advanced, was a finan- | cial failure. 1 suppose that the loss is fully | $800. The . receipts were behind the | expenses every week, including the ‘Mac’s Coterie’ engagement. There , was no backing out as far as I was concerned, for I was in no sensea party to these engage- | ments. The Pickwick is a very desirable place of amusement and would prove attrac. | tive to the public and profitable to the man- | agement if properly handled by experienced | men.’ | | xdmission. THE BABIES’ BOAT. Last Trip But One of the Fresh Air Mission. How the Children Enjoyed Themselves on the Chouteaun—Who Far- nish the Funds. The Fresh Air Mission trip on the Chou- teau this morning was not so largely attend- ed as the previous ones,principally on accoun. of anew policy adopted by the management. Those in charge have begun to think that the excursion was being turned into a picnic. Grown people of all ages and conditions were crowding the boat anda stop had to be put toit. Mr. Nelson therefore resolved this morning thatthe regulations should be car- ried out and that no children save those un- der eight years of age should go. Big with this idea, he took his stand at tae gangplank before 8S a.m. A nice time he had of it. Along come astring of four children all) belonging to the same family, three of them carefully led by grown girls, and the fourth in charge of the mother, a middle-aged German lady. ‘‘Whose chiidren are these?” asked Mr. Nelson. ‘‘Ours,’’ was the answer: ‘*Where’s the mother?” | ‘Here J am,’’ answered thé older woniin. ‘Well, you can goand take the children. These girls can’t.” ‘*What! Why, they always go. tickets. The policeman said we could.” Mr. Nelson was relentless. The mother marched the Whole crowd off the boat and took her stand onthe wharf, from which she berated the whole excursion until the boat pulled ont. The crowd began to thicken about 8:50 a. in., and so did Mr. Nelson’s trouble. Along would comea family of children, some of . them over eight yearsof age, and each of them in charge of an atteadant. Mr. Nelson would protest, the women would plead, the children would begin to howl at . the tops of their voices, and a general pande- monium and blockade of the gangplank would be the result. One giri about ten years of age was rejected. Along came a lady manager, found her erving on the wharfbvat, and tried to take her aboard. Mr. Nelson would not bave it, and the girl went back. Another lady manager took the vir under her wing,and though her voice is as softand her smile as bland as anynoddys, the Cerberus of the gangplank would not relent. After a while Nelson was ‘reinforced by Col. Carpenter, Dr. Kingsly and Mr. Mast- broak and the blockade was strengthened. Two grown girls putin anappearance, one | carrying a baby, and the other lady a little girl. The ticket-taker thought one was enough totake care of the two children, and said the mother of the baby ought to go. A dispute then arose, and both women claimed the baby, which was valuable asa ticket of It is very protable that the | infant was borrowed for the occasion, as this THE HANDKERCHIEF TRICK. How It Was Played on Jefferson Avenue qn Tuesday Night. While not yielding the harvest that the re- | cent exploit of the James boys did, an experi- ment on Jefferson avenue on Tuesday night will bear recital and give interest perhaps | to the police authorities who are supposed to protect the public in that part of the world. On the evening named a young gentleman connected with a hardware house in town, and a prominent society man, was escorting a lady | friend home. When near the locality where the cars turn into Jefferson avenue from the Gravois road, a young gentleman jumped out | of the weeds which infest the locality and presented a pistol to the head of the escort. At that time he was not obserying the party’s style of costume, beyond that he hada hand- kerchjef tied around his head, leaying the eyes ciear. It Was not an invitation to Gandé, butto merely stand and deliver what spare | change there was about him. With the po- liteness of a Cole Younger or a Jesse James the lady was allowed to proceed by the high- Wayman, whose derringer lookedabout the | size of a columbiad about then. : ‘Suppose I don’t deliver up,’’ said the rob- | bee; “what then?’? LA low whistle brought the others to the | situation, and matters looked three times as | dubious. They wore handkerchiefs under their eyes, af ter the style of the first ¢entle- man. : ‘*Now are going No. 1. | “Weil, I will tell you,” replied Mr. Hard. | ware; ie, have got tifteen cents, and that will make five cents apiece.” | “Well, givéitup,” which was accordingly ! done. ‘*Now, you see those fights ahead of you’ ;, **Yes,? . ‘Well, walk towards them.” **But the girl went the other way.” ‘“That’s so; well, you won’t squer’, », “Not for fifteen cents,” st UWell, git i P ha When Mr. Hardware met t : 77 ” ,@ virl she e the woman in ‘*A Tale ¢ , : — ee vallly : | ‘ities, flopped over and fainted.
