A Score of Them Developed by Husbands and Wives To-Day in Court. | This is the day for relief of forlorn wives and husbands in Judge Lindley’s Court, otherwise the default hearing of the divorce docket. Twenty cases of matrimonial mis- eryand mistake figure on this record of pain and shame. The court-room filied up at an early heur with the unfortunate plaintiffs, the ladies pre- dominating, accompanied by deserted off- spring, friends and relatives. Every variety of form, feature and attire was represented in this gathering. Young and pretty women in silks and sealskins; women of advanced age: females of color; stout, able- bodied men _ and young, effemi- nate men were included in the list of witnesses. The attorneys crowded the bar, waiting for their respective cases to be called. Since the general decline of litiza- tion, the high, reputable firms have ceased to turn up their noses at divorce business, a fact regretted by the younger, obscure limbs of the law, who have little other business to attend to. The foilowing were the recitals of domestic misery +nd desertion: Amelia against Whilliam Hasson. The nt were married in Livingston County, ll.g in 1871. The husoand, according to the wife’s statement, became dissipated and ad- dicted to habita of confirmed drunkenness; refused and failed to provide for her sup- port and fidally deserted her. Eliza Jane against William Henry Hilte- brand. The marriage took place at Indian- apolis in 41871. After a_ time the husband left the wife of his choice to take care of herself and abandoned her without any reasonable cause forever. Johanna against Joseph Kelly. Theparties were married io this city in May, 1874, and lived together three vearr. e husband left the par hearth in July, 1877, and never returned. The wife prayed for custody of the little girl, aged four years. Eiliott W. against Ella Edmonds. This young couple were married in June, 1878, at Quincy. Nine months later the wife tired of the husband and Jeft him. Mary J. against Patrick M. Paul: married in Crawford county January 1860. They lived together until March, 1879, when the busband abandoned the wife. Wm. E. against Kate Bohmie; married in May, 1880, at Brookfield Junction, Wis. The wife in this instance was guilty of de- serting the home. Claiborne against Lizzie Anderson; miar- ried at Brook'iyn,Ill., August ’72. The couple lived together until January, 1575, when tne wife absented herself from home and re- mained away. Joseph against Bertha Chandler. This mar- riage took place here in December, 1876, and they lived together until April last year. The husband stated that his wife ignored her vows of devotion and fidelity and became improperly intimate with a Mr. Thos. Boze! and several other lotharios. Caroline against Samuel Rice; married at St. Charles in September, 1879. They lived ee until December of that year. The wife stated that her husband rendered her condition intolerabie by cruel ahd threaten- ing treatment. Ono one occasion he held a in his hand and said to her: “I ou if. you were worth it.

At New York the husband endeavored to destroy the marriage certificate and left bis wife iv a boarding house without a cent for her support or payment of the board bill in- ‘eurred. She was forced to pawn her ward- robe for necessaries,and ultimately a friend defrayed the expenses of her journey home to St. Louis. Fredericka against Jacob Disch. The par- ties married here in Vecember, 1877, and 7 lived together until August last year. Mrs. Disch stated that ber husband was very crue! to her, was drunk very frequently whip- ed her several times. Once or twiee the nife was brought out as an'otmetru- ment of punishment. Altogether it was an unpalatable ‘“dis-c-h.’’ . The Jady prayed for restoration of maiden name, Maier. Hannah against John Kelly: married here in November, 1880. This was a painful recital of cruel treatment on the part of the absent husband. His neglected spouse stated that he gave her unmerciful whip- pings and was addicted to habits of drunken- ness, and rendered her condition in every way intolerable. William J. against Clara A. Pond. This was a husband’s grievance. The marriage took place at Lakeville, Mo., in October, 1872, The husband stated that his wife became lewd, lascivious and wanton in her conduct and gave herself up to frivolity, matinee- mashing, carriage riding and suppers at suburban restaurants. He charged specifically that the mother of his two little children bestowed her attentions upon Dr. George E, McCosh, Charles D. Oliver, and other young men, at various places, Andy Auer’s Tower Grove Restaurant, 107 North Thirteenth street, and other convenient places for fast The hus- band hearing of all this left his wife, but she followed him to Little Rock, Ark., where he was engaged on business for a firm here, and implored his forgiveness. They kissed and made up for the sake of the children, but subsequently the husband stated that he came home once and caught his wife. This was suf- ficient to cause a second sep- aration, The father asked the cus ; of the ehildren—Willie, seven years old, an Ne'lie four years. Virginia C. against John W. Eldridge. These parties were married in December, 1876, at Memphis. The wife charged a series of cruel indignities, failure to support, drunkenness and filth abuse on the part of the husband, Alfred, against Ingre Lundgren. The mar- riage took place at Chicago in October, 1878. The wife deserted her husband three years, and without cause refused to return to him. Mary J.against Louis H.Cole. The marriage took place at Amboy, Iil., in July, 1881 The wife said that her husband entertained groundless suspicions of her and hehaved so badly under wrongful impressions that he rendered her condition intolerabie and .on one occasion he kicked her down stairs. There was one child of this union, Lillie, a little girl of three vears. Louisa against Samuel Sears. The wife was a widow when the marriage took place in Missiseipptin September, 1871. Shestated that her husband crueily whipped her, failed to support her, and behaved generally like a brute. He was very fond of tanglefoot. EAST ST. LOUIS.

The Father of Dr. North’s Deceased Wife Wants the Property. *’ James K. Robbins, the retired ol% gentie- man of fortune whose dauchter was secretly married to Dr. J. H. North, filed suit to-day in the Circuit Court with the view of recover- ing the property which be conveyed: to his Gaughter. The proceeding is against John F. O’Rourke, the executor under the daughter’s will, the son-in-law, Dr; North, the son, James Robbins, who Is contesting his sister’s will, and James E. Withrow, the sdministrator pro tem. appointed by the Probate Court. The deceived parent states that on March, 1871, being disposed at some future time to settle property upon his wife and daughter, he conveyed the Pratte avenue property to his wife,vesting at her death in the daughter. It was his token of love and affection, and the deed was not recorded or delivered. It was not to take effect until after his death, and in 1878 the deed was deposited in the Safe Deposit. In 1873 his wife died and he conveyed the Dolman sireet property to his daughter upon the same understanding that it was not to take effect untii he saw fit. That deed was not recorded. Mr. Robbins states thatup tothe time ofhis daughter’s death he believed ber to be single,but at that time his eyes were opened to the fact that she had married Dr. North under his roof. The Doctor wass trusted friend and had come on from Cleveland to live in the Robbins family for medical attendance upon the sick daugb- ter. He occupied an office adjoining the family residence. Mr. Robbins charges Mr. O’ Rourke, an intimate and constant guest, Dr. North and the deceased daughter wiih studiously concealing the fact of the mar- riage fortwo years. After the marriage Mr. Robbins allezes that Dr. North continued to treat his daughter as a patient, and never cohabited with herasa wife. The deeds of conveyance were recorded by Mr. O’Rourke after the daughter’s death, and her father now prays for a delivery of the documents to him, and that the recora may be cancelled and set aside, and that all claimants assert- ing title to the property may be restrained. - BELLEVILLE.

The prevalent impression is that the absorption of so much railroad property in one place, by one manage- ment, will be detrimental to the business interests of St. Louis. Mr. Gould now owns a controlling interest inthe Bridge Company, the Tunnel Company and the Union Depot Company,which gives him a dangerous power over other interests that may clash with his own. His own repr e*entatives here deny that Mr. Gould would use such power; they claim that he could not afford to do so even were he so disposed, but they insist that their principal has no such disposition. They explain his recent purchase as simply an investment of surplus capital, and deny that it has any significance outside of this. Other railroad men, however, who are not iu Mr. Gould’s employ, are apprehensive that the great man will use every lever within reach to apprec'ate the = im- portance of his own roads at the expense, andif necessary, to the positive detriment of any opposing interest. Events in the near future alone will justify. one of either of these views. The Union Depot Company bas a contract with allthe roads centering there,which has still three years to run. The Depot Company was owned, until very recently, by a numberof stockholders. Now there is _ virtually but one, | to wits Mr. Jay Gould. He cannot but keep to the terms of the contracts now in force, and for the ensuing three years at least other roads have nothing to dread from Mr. Gould. But after that period Mr. Gould will, as sole owner of the company, be called upon to make new contracts with all the roads that now use the bridge, the tunnel and the depot or any of them. He will, according to the theories of his agents, deal fairly with every one of his pat- rons, but should anything of an unpleasant character arise by the turn, it will be neces- sary tomakea new contract between Mr. Gould and rival ecempanies. Outsiders claim he will not be slow to swing his bridge, tunnel and depot influence against them. ltis surmised by railroad men and by merchants and shippers that Mr. Gould wil! ut once set actively to work to increase the depot facilities of St. Louis. At the time of the blockade last fal! a committee of mer- chants. Was appointed to confer with railroad officials on the subject. Mr. S. M. Dodd, a member of the committee, stated to a PosT-DISPaTCH reporter this morning that St. Louis needed imperatively better depot facilities. He isanable to predict Mr, Gould’s course of action, but he hopes and believes something will be done in the right direction. This is the | The Board of County Commiesioners bas | depot on Mr. Gould understands exactly what is needed here. He keeps himself thoroughly | weil posted as to the business of his roads, and if- he believes, what cannot but be apparent to him, that the present wy facilities are inadequate to the volume of business attempted to. be car- ried on there, there is no doubt that he wil! at once start to work and build a new and better Union Depot. Mr. J.C. Gault, General Manager of the Wabash, inclines to the same opinion. He says Mr. Gould will undoubtedly vive the subject careful attention. The railroads were taught a severelesson by the blockade. The terminal facititfes of St. Louis are at present all too scanty, and St. Louis business men cannot afford to suffer a _repetition of the blockade. Mr. Gatift' was unable to say positively what Mi. Gould will do. He thinks he will locate and build a new depot soon; in which event the present depot grounds and buitdings wil! 'be used as a freight depot. Mr. Howe, third vice-president of the Wa- bash, thought with Mr. Gault that Mr. | Gould’s enterprise would be beneficial to St. | Louis. The building ofa new depot was a | matter simply oftime. Just where it will be | ee located itis impossible at present t0 ‘say. The suitability jfirst pointed out by the PosT-DISPATCH of locating the new Washington Square, finds many endorsers among the railroad and busi- ness men of St. Louis. Officiais of Mr. Gould’s roads inciine to the opinion that, al! things considered, no better site could be selected. In Search of a Wife. A sad eyed looking man hailing from Marion County, Ill., and giving the name of William Collins, and looking as though the heat and snows of some thirty-nine years might have rested heavily upon his brow, arrived at the Union Depot last night and approaching Oflicer Marsh made inquiry as to where he could secure a better half by the payment of MM, that he was tired of lead- inga life apart and remote from woman’s refining influence, that he had worked hard ail of bis life and had & great deal of sickness, and vet had saved up $75 in casb, and that his neck was in full readiness for the matrimonial noose. The officer asked him if he was in earnest, and he replied that he was; whereupon the officer warned him against pitfalls and the peculiar danger of making rapid acquaintances and close friend- ships with city feminines; also, advising him to go back and pay court to some village maiden, whose litule farm might, with his little capital be of mutual benefit. He was evidentiy struck on his city woman idea and it required much argument to persuade him to the con- ‘trary, but he finally considered the advice . healthy and morally sound, and said he would do a little browsing around home and ascer- tain what could be done there. —_ Rich Fees for Lawyers.

At the Coai Exchange receipts were bulle-' tined at 116,000 bushels. There were no fur- ther breaks in quotations noted, andthe mar+ ket was comparatively steady. Mr. Ghio, the well-known tobac-. co manufacturer, arrived home from New York yesterday, and when spoken to regarding his proposed new fac- ines at Unrige? Cave, says that he thinks more seriously thac ever of building a large factory there ahd transferring his interests to St. Louis. Itis possib'e that the experi- ment of negroand Chinese labor will be there made, and as Mr. Ghio employs some 400 hands, the movement will be watehed with interest by the residents in the neigh- borhood. ‘ The grocers’ meeting last night was a great success and the organization was more of an aseured success than ever. Commit- tees on food adulterations, short weights and measures, bad credit customers, étc., will be appointed and officers elected. Poultry, game and eggs all advanced this morning, there being extraordinary drafts on this market from New York. Quail are $2 per dozen, grouse $6, unusuaily fancy prices. There was alullin the real estate market this morning, there Deing fewer inquiries for residences to rent and to purchase than there have been for some time past. The average for the month, however, has been unusually large. One of the seasonable luxuries just now is celery. It readily brings from fifty to seventy-five cents per bunch for only passable qualities. Attendance at the Mechanics’ Exchange increases daily, it being the calm before‘the storm, however, The constitution, rules, reg- ulations and by-laws have been issued in neat pamphiet form and are ready for distri- bution amongst members. Presidentilttner’s hard work is telling for the good of the Ex- change. A new and fertile game supply ficld has been opened for St. Louis. Messrs. John Wahl & Co. have received this morning a barrel of game as a “‘feeler,” and much more could have been shipped. The shipment was from Colorado, and this will be an inter- esting field hereafter for game farmers and sportsmen to look into. .* The prospective revival of the old shit of Mary L. Taylor(moitber-in-law of Silas Bent), against the Harney and Mullanphy -estates, has created a ripple of interest in real estate circles. It concerns a large and valuable tract in the vicin- ity .of Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Ex- change streets. The matter was once adjust- ed in the courts and a portion of this preper- ty has already been ecnveyed and sold te out- side parties. Ifthe petition fora new: trial is granted, the complications will be almost endiess. An innovation at the Merchant’s Exchange and one which should receive especial and interested attentionis the establishment of an “*Employment Box’’ in the Seeretary’s room. Thisis simply a letter box,which-serves as a receptacle for applications for situations in different mereantile lines, and statements from merchants requiring help. Upon their applications and statements activa is to be taken from time to time by a private:com- mittee of the Loard of directorsjeand: the yreatest effort will be made to .aubserve oth interests. a THE GREEN FIGHT. Itis Decided to Test the Matterin the Courts. A meeting of the anti-Green directors was held at Col. Chas. L. Hunt’s office on Pine street at three o'clock this afternoon. The meeting was called for the purpose of receiving the report of the spectal committee appointed to confer with the Green men in regard to what action should be taken about the counting in of Green as president of the associa- tion. The members were somewhat late in assembling, but nearly the whole twenty- one members were in attendance. The com- mittee, consisting of Messrs. Lionberger, Allen ard Hargadine, reported that they had requested a meeting with the frep- resentative men of the Green fboard but that their request had been practically unheeded. They had fully canvassed the matter and were of the opirion that the points in dispute should be decided by the courts. The questions to be settled werethe refusal of the judges to count the 145 proxies and the counting of the 257 votes cast by shares of stocxs which had changed hands within thirty days prior to the election, the counting of such votes being no Page eee ee by the sta- tutes of the state. he report of the com- mittee was received with applause, and it was evident thatit wili be adopted. Dis- cussion was begun relative to the best way of bringing the matter before the courts. Mr. John R. Lionberger was asked about the matter and he said: ‘‘The committee came to the conclusion that it was the best course to have these disputed matters po atrest. We thought it best that the whole twenty-one directors shouid do so, since we were convinced that, if this plan was not followed, individuals would institute proceedings themselves. The contest will be devoid of all animosity, but we want to settle the two queations, so that they may not arise again. Several gentle- men, who wished to vote by proxy, are looking for a decision on this point, and we have concluded to have ; > The suit will probably be filed to-morrow morning. The form of proceedings in court will, very likely, be a etition to set aside last Saturday’s election, Soesuee it was illegal, on the grounds previ- ously specified. This will furnish the courts a chance to decide the disputed questions, “Dp, W. P.” The Trouble it Gives a Prosecuting Wit- ness in a Police Court Case. The case of Carolina Kisel and Mollie | Singley, charged with being inmates of a disreputable house, are docketed in the First District Poiice Court to-day, with “D. W. P.”’ written after them. which sig- nities that the cases were dismissed for want of prosecutica. A German brewer, who spoke no English, was prowling about the Four Courts seeking information. He teid the following story: “On last Thureday a week ago I was waik- ing up Ciark avenue when these two women, Caroline Kisel and Mollie Singley, called me into a house on Eighth street. They were disreputable and 1 started to co out, when some one grabbed my pocket and stole forty- five cents from me. Two policemen were on the corner. One of the women struck me’ with a pitcher, and I had them arrested, The police told me to go to court . and! did. This mornin l was there, but no one aske me any questions.

Had they been high- toned Christian gentiemen their verdict would have been “not guiltv,’’ not beeause of in- sanity. The mere outward act of shooting would have been the same, whatever the motive, if Il had been a disappointed office- seeker, which is absolutely faise,as I prove by mv papers and bv Mr. Brooks’ testimony. On July 2 and 3 the outward act of shooting would bave been the same asif 1 had been directed by Deity to doit, or I believed myself so directed to do it—which is the literal truth, as I prove bv all my papers and talk on the subject. This jury-had not suflicient intelli- gence to see that point, and entirely 1gnored the political and patriotic necessity for the act, which ail Christian intel‘igent people see. For this reason [ am entitled to a new trial, if for no other, and we have a prodigious amount of exceptiont. I want to employ two or three first-class lawyers to take charge of mycase. The principal point will be to show the non-jurisdiction of this court to try this indictment because the President died in New Jersey. Authorities on this point are conflicting, but some of the best lawyers in America say the predominance of authorities are against the jurisdiction of this court. 1 desire the court in Dane to pass to pass upon this question and haveno doubt but that the high-toned Christian gentlemen peter: the Washington court in. bane will give it their most careful attention, : to the end that if the Deity intended to protect me from the legal liability herein by allowing the President to departgracefully and peace- fully in New Jersey,I shall have the benefit of the Deity’s intention. I consider it espe- clally providential in myfavor and to ask the court in bane to consider. I have received some checks, but many of them have proved worthless, which show the low character of the menthat send them. I need money to employ counsel. There are ne peoplein America’that believe in God and in my inspiration, andthat I am a pat- riot. To vou, men and women of America, Lappeal. Lask youinthe name of justice to come speedily to my relief. Come in per- son or by letter. If you send money senda postal order or check to my order. With competent legal help I can get out with the Lord’s help, and I am sure of that, but good lawyers do not work for nothing. T want to employ two or three first-class lawyers to do my work before the courtin bano: If I bad had competent ~~ cotinsel I should not have talked so much in court, but I disagree with the theory of Mr. Scoville and Mr. Reed,and it has made it un- pleasant for both parties and hes done great damage to my defence. Porter says am right and I agree with him, although I know he has abused and vilified me outrageously whenlI had no alternative save to answer back, which I did in my usual plain way. I have been convicted, but the verdict can not be enforced until July in any event, and probably not until Septen.ber. I give myself no anxiety on account of the verdict. I hardly expected acquittal; the most I expected was adisagreement. Then I proposed to test the question of jurisdiction in the court in bane. Itis a purely legal question, and if the epinion of some of tae best lawyers at the American bar is sustainéd, thé coyrt in’) banc will end this case. 1 can*t@efs" hearinc on this in April. : bos I make a special appeal to the ladies of America to come to my rescue. Some of them have written me delightful letters, and I ask each and every one of them to respond tothe extent of their means, and see me in person if possible. Lretura my sincere thanks for their letters and sympathy. You, ladies, believe in God, and in my inspiration; and that I have really saved the nation great trouble and great expense, to-wit, another war. Last spring Gen. Garfleld had the Repub- lican party in a frightful condition anu it’;was gettang worse every hour; to-day everybody of sense is satisfied with Gen. Arthur’s ad- ministration, and the country is happy and prosperous. Only £00 has come from Gen. Garfield’s removal, which is conclusive evidence that. the’-inspira- tion was from the Deity. He has repeatedly confirmed my act since July 2; therefore, let ail persons quietiy acquiesce in the expressed will of the Deity. I am Giod’s man in this matter just as truly as the despised Galilean was God’s man. They said he was a blas- phemer, glutton, etc., and it seemed a smal! thing for his acquaintances to kill him, but his death stirred the wratb of the Alipighty, and he got even with them forty years later, at the destruction of Jerusalem A. 0.70, and he will get even with the American people if a hair of my head is harmed. God wifi! vin- dieate me evenif the natich rolls in bleod. Mere physical death is nothing to me. Under the law cannot be executed in any event until July.. I wp | die a dozen times before then; have notrouble about that; I shall nat go be- fore my time. I had rather he hung so far as physical death is concerned than die from a painful illness or meet with a railroad ora steamboat accident. I hardly think I: im destined to be bung, and therefore give my- self no thought on that; but lum anxious to have my character and inspiration vindicated. To that end I need be)p as herein mentioned, My friends need not be ashamed of me. Some people think me the greatest man of this age and that my name will go down to history as a patriot by the side of Washing- ton and Grant. [Signed] CHARLES J.

Mr. George W. Cable bas risen rapidiy to a high rank among American novelists. Since the appearance of his first book, but a sbori time ago, his populurity has grown steadily, and it is fair to say that his taient has grown likewise. He is certainiy one of the few conspicuously promising young men in our new literature, and this is so because there ig felt throughout his work a defiatte color and a special character which wake that work original. A biographer of Mr. Cable writes that the novelist is descended on bis father’s side from a colonial Virginia fam- ily, and on his mother’s side from an old New England family. His parents married iu Indiana in 1834, ana dwelt tn New O after the financial crisis of 180 died in 1859, and young Cahlé,. 14, was forced to quit school an bis living; he held the place of clérk 1868. During that year be joined the Con- tederate Army, and he is said to have been a valiant and daring soldier. At the énd of the war he went back to New Orleans and be- gan a new life as errand boy in ® commerelal ouse, After struggiing on“ through tick- ness and poverty for soine mé longer} after having devoted himself to the study of etyil engineering, natura) history, and other sub- ‘jecte at spare moments, he turved a new a of }und became a contributor to.a; New Oriles aDrep Shot) He wen & ding o ie ™ von « but bis connection: with the which read, Ob June.

Mr. Cabie was broughtup in the Presbyterian cast of faith, and has held some rather strict notions about various matters, especially novel reading and theatrical at- tendance. He refused at one time to aet as a dramatic critic, because the duty that would have then been imposed upon him clashed with his convictions; he was also fora long while opposed to novel reading, but was converted to a wiser tnd more liberal opin- ion by one of George MaucDonald’s books. His favorite authors are Victor Hugo, Thacke eray, Hawthorne,and Tourgueneff—a glorie ous quartet of genius. In D.

Sensible people and the best art society are lad that Oscar Wilde is not accepted in New ork any more than heis here as a repre- sentative Manand as authority upon Eng- lish progress. He has done no work either in artor literature. He is not an artist, he is notan author (exceptin so far as the writer ofa handful of second-rate poetry upon unhealthy themes may be considéred an author); heisnot a journalist, scientist, lecturer. He has called himself “the Lawr- eate of Beauty” ana he has posed in pabiic places, whenever the opportunity occurged, at the feet of Mrs. Langtry, Lady Lonsdale and Mrs. Cornwallis West, the three graces of a London season. Ifhe would be usefu in his generation and make an honorable name, let him cut his hair, eschew folly and work. He is young, he has a pienty of ability and lots of physical strength. Said a distinguished writer and poet to me yesterday, “Oscaris clever, well read, and a capita) conversationalist, and when he isalone with you,and there are no beauties to amuse, be is a sensibie and agreeable fellow. He ealled upon me recently, luncbhed heartily off the vulgar and uv@esthetic dish of steak and onions, and drank his fill of wine hkea man!’ The Standard and the Daily News to-day have been widely read in society for their cables describing Oscar’s reception, and while there is a prevaient sentiment of sor- row thaian educated Englishman should make asbow of himself atso mucha head, having only the jeers of public satirists as his recommendation to public no- tice, great amusement is expressed at Oscar presenting himself before the American public inthe attire of a mountee bank. Mr. Carte bas not increased bis own reputation as a business man in being a party to the nonsense, and nobody wiil be surprised here if New York treats it as an attempt to practice upon its supposed ignorance of the manners, habits and customs of high society in Europe. Mr. Wilde wil! perhaps be sur- prised to find that there are citizens of New York who are far better acquainted with the blue-blooaed society of England and France than he is; and as for his monotonous lispings about the beatific and the ineffable, and the esthetic glorification of the Jersey lily, and all that kind of thing, one feels inclined to say ‘Sheefsteak and oulons?? toit. This so-called esthetic nonsense, if it ever lived, 1s dead in England, and for its prominence before the world Messrs. Burnand and Gilbert are more to blame than Mr. Oscar Wilde, who seeks to snatch atictitious popularitv from the undue publicity they have given to a small and insignificant clique of esthetic maniacs. Itis good for him, for art, and for the public that he should not succeed in his role of prophet, poet, or lecturer. The world has worthy work for him to do; let him lay aside his sealskin collars a itet. es, forego “loliopping”’ attitudes, bastara gon, and be the map nature intended him to be. Thatisthe advice the best friends of his family in London would give him if they counseled him to his face in accordance with the criticism they pass upon him behind his back. = SILVER-PLATED pickle €osters for 75e, that were $1 50, in house-furnishing: depatm@eant of four bottles, for $2 25, that were $4, and wish five bottles for $2 60, that were $5. The New Man. Washington Cor. Harifora Times. By the new man, I don’t mean the presi- dent, but a mulatto man,’a messenger, whom he brought witb him from New York. The new man has taken charge of the White House and does things there to suit himself, regardless of orders, customs or what any- one elsethinks. On New Year’s day, when every one else was required to pass through the parlors without stopping, “the pew man’’ violated that order by seating two colored women on a lounge in the green- room and allowing them to sit there until the reception was over. There were ladies who would have paid any price for such a privilege, but they were not allowed, but required bv the police officers to keep moving. The **new man” seemed to have the policemen as compietely under his con- tro] as he had the attaches of .he house. No one has been able to ascertain exactly what position the “new man” holds or who pays him. They all know, however, that he is there, and does just as suits him r-«gardless of what is thought about it. The “new man’’ professes to have great influence with the president, and threatens th:t he will have any employes in the mansion removed if they interfere with himinany manner. The result is that no one inlerferes with him, ard the ‘*new man’’ is the boss of the situstion— much as the old attaches of the house dis- like if. — ss Set PrRu THE BEI FoR RHEUMATISM, e Neuralgia, Sciatica, Lumbago, Backache, Soreness of the Chest, Gout, Quinsy, Sore Throat, Swellings and Sprains, Burns and Scalds, General Bodily Pains, Tooth, £ar and Headache, Frosted Feet gaunt - & 7 os D.

You may hearfrom me again. [don’t know when, but I’ll remem- ber your kindness.’’ The door closed after her, and she went home through the driving sleet and entered her poor house. A man \, ho was crouching over a poor fire, rocking a baby on his knees, — up quickly, and saw no hope in her ace. “Heis harder than stone, Jamie,” she said, softly. “God help us now, for man is against us.” He quietly putthe baby into her arms, rose from the chairand started toward the door, but returned and kissed her passion- ately, twice. *You’ve been a good wifeto me, Zada,” said he, “patient, tender and true.

The nurse had been drugged and the child taken away, and upon the coveriet of the little’ bed, pinned fast by a long bladed dagger,was a paper upon which was written these words: “Vendetta! I will return the child in fifteen years. Wait for him.” fhe blow was fatal tothe mother of Ed- ward, and she died within the month. All that wea'th could do was done to find the child, but he seemed to have disappeared as utterly as if buried in the depths of the sea. Herbert Stanley sold out his business ana spent three years in travel, searching for the boy, aided by skillful detectives; but this search wasin vain. Some thought that the boy had been stolen for a ransom, and an im- mense sum was offered through the medium lB ag public press, but no response was e. Herbert Stanley returned to his law office, which he had left to become a manufacturer, and soon reached the Bench, and was known far and wide as a learned but austere Judge, who bad no mercy upon crime. At last,;while holding court in a city adja- cent to the place where he had lived and suf- fered, a case of peculiar atrocity came up for judgment. It was a bank povenpi in the course of which a man had been shot, and one of the robbers bad been taken red ed. yO py ap + dhed he was seen to -color handsome man Nittle wor twenty years ot age, but with the > >> a ei as - ant — ‘impress of crime marked upon every feature.

The Judge rose to pronounce sentence, a would send the young man to prison or life. “Thomas Welch—” he began. **Hold on, old fellow!’ said the prisoner. **I’d like to have you start fair and make no mistake. Thomas Welch is not my name.’’ **What is your true one?”’ “Edward Stanly; sothe old woman says. And see here, judge, before you go I’d like to sava word—not because I’m going to crawfish, for I ain’t that kind of a little boy but because I want things on the square; an in the first place I was stolen, when a child, by a woman named Zada Fenton, from En- | field viilage.”’ “Great heaven?” gasped the judge sinking into a seat. “She took meto a gypsy tribe, and we went to Eu ope, and until I was ten years old I wasin England. I was taught to steal as soon as IT could walk. The woman laid herself out toteach me evil, and made me think that every man’s hand was against me. I’ve robbed, and stolen, and lied, and com- mitted every crime under her teaching; and I didn’t know any better. Now go ahead with your sentence. I’m guilty; but,after all, I ain’t to blame.’’ ‘“*A sentence—a sentence!’’? screamed a, voice from the seat in front of the railing, and a woman forced her way in and stood be- forehim. ‘Look at me, Jndge Stanley, Fifteen years ago you drove me from your dvor,and with such cruel words that my hus- band went out and killed himself.

I have kept my word, and bere he is—the child of my teachings but the child of your heart, Edward Stanley! He pleads guilty; sentence him, I say. [am Zada Fenton, the wife of the man you mur- dered !”” Judge Stanley clutched at the air wildly and fell down in a fit, and whenthey raised him he was dead. Another{ judge pro- nounced the sentence, which sent his unfor- tunate son to prison for life, to which he went defiantly. A year later,in an attempt to break out of prison, he was shot bya guard, andthe vengeance of Zada Fenton was complete. Asforher, she disappeared, and itis thought went back to her tribe; but ggg in that section ever saw her face again.

WELLS. JEW BAITING. Outrageous Treatment of Hebrews in Ignorant Russia From the New York Tribune. The minute accounts published in London of the persecution ofthe Hebrewsin Russia cannot fail to excite the compassion and in- dignation of the English-speaking world. The Pall Mall Gazette bas given startling em- phasis to the meagre references made in the officially revised dispatches from St. Peters- burg to the riotous disturbances of the last nine months, and its scathing invectives are fully justified by the details furnished by a correspondent of the Times (London). It is a most hideous record of rapine, lust, and in- humanity. Ifthe Turkish vbucchersin Bul- garia were more bloodthirsty and barbarous, the Russian mobs are every whit as cruel and debased, swayed as they have beenby a passionate hatred of the Jews which ts dis- tinctly medizval in spirit. Moreover, the authorities have not only been wholly as su- pine as the Turkish Government was after the massacres in the Balkan peninsula, Dut they have openly abetied and oflicial'y justi- fied these haceful and frenzied outbreaks of savagery and fanaticism. The signal for these atrocities was givena few weeks after the assassination of the Czar. At Elizabethgrad, a town in South Russia, where the Jewish community formed at least a third of the population, a mob, having sacked a wine shop and become in- flamed with jiquor, attacked the synagogues For furty-eight hours the rioters rematnoedin possessionof the Jewish quarter, the sol- diers who were cailed out to suppress the revolt joining heariily in the work of de- struction, pillage,and just. As mary as 100 shops and warehouses and 500 hou es were demolished, the losses of the victisis being estimated at $1,500,000. This was the first outbreak. It was foilowed in a weck by riotsin Smieloand Ki ff, where the troops and police again supported the mob, parti- cipating fully in this double assauit upon property and virtue. At Kieffthe attack was deliberately announced in advance, and when the Governor was called tpon to pro- tect 20,000 Hebrew residents of the city, he refused tv give his soldiers anv trouble *‘for the sake of a pack of Jews.’’ The conse- quence was that 2,000 of the hated race were left without shelter, and inthe sight of bus- bands and fathers Married women and young girls were made the victims of the most brutal assaults. Fiomthis time until the end :f the yearthere was scarcely atownin South rn and Southwestern Russia where -imi ar scenes were not enacted. As many as 160 villages and towna were at different times during eight months at the mercy of a be- sotted rabble. The frenzy spread from town to country, until it reached the pe'ti: st ham- let where there was asinzle Jew with @ little ready money tolend. It finally flamed out in the ancient capita! auring Christmas wees, when an alarm of fire was raised simul'ane- ously in two synagogues and a thousand houses and shops were plundered and de- stroved. Space will not permit up to illustrate ade- quately the cruelties and indignities to which these wretched victims of persecution were exposed, much less*o catalogue the horrors by naming the places and reckoning the losses in life and property that were sus- tained. Many of the incidents are heart- rending and revolting. Weread of a heart- less mob breaking into a house, and finding neither Jewesses nor treasure in the empty rooms, sullenly wreaking its disappointment on a baby, which is hurled out of a window and fails dead at the feet of apiatoon of Cossacks. Then follows a recital of an at- tack upon a Jewish congregation, the women who escaped a worse fate in the syn goyzue being driven into the river and forced to drown themselves. A mob ad- mitted to a Hebrew innkeeper’s wire cellars ends bv cut- ting the throats of his wife and six daugh- ters; achild crouching inthe ditch sees a band of ruffiuns murderits mother and set fire to the house; an inn-keeper is cooped in one of his empty wine-barrels and cast into the Dneiper; men, women and children are roasted alive; a father defending his daughter from stairway toroof is huried to the pavement; and women who have been envious of the silks and satins which wealtby Jewesses have flaunted before their eyes outrival the hags of ihe Paris Commune in malevolence and shamelessness. In a thousand ways the vengeance of an ignorant peasantry and a debased populace has been wreaked, without regard to. age or sex, until thousands on thousands of households have been reduced to shame and begya y. The Russian authorities have in almus' every instance openly encouraged the rioters, and have only intervened with any energy when the riot was three days old and the mob had exhausted its resources of wanton cruelty and barbarous atrocity. The attacks have invariably been planned in advance, saints’? days and Sundays being generall, chosen and wooden crosses being sometimes erected before the doors of Christians as a sign that they should be spared. The Jeas have known when they were to be perzecuteu, and have begged for military aid, but it was never granted. Many of the mobs have be. lieved that the Government had handed over the property of the Jews tothe impover- ished classes, and that the movement had re- ceived the sanction of an imperial] ukase. This shameless apathy of thelocal and im- perial authorities is the most disheartening feature of the relapse into medizval Jew- baiting. A Polyglot Family. From the Middletown Press. There is living at Middietown a family in which nine distinct languages are spoken, namely: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Arabic and Turgish, besides any number of dialec:s con- nected mostly with Italian and Spanish. The head of the family, who is a native of Zurich, Switzerland, is a musician of wide accomplishments and reputation, who, from a love of travel, has seen most parts of the world, beving resided for considerable per- iods in widely separated countries. After extended travel he settled in Tunis, North Africa, where he held the position of musical director for the Bey, having charge of his or- chestra. He married there a ladv who waa a native of Arabia, but born of Italian and Eoglish parents. (Children were born to them there. Leaving the country on account of an epidemic, they settled next at Constan- tinople, and resided some years at the Turk- ish capital. There he was the Suitan’s chief musician, not oniy having the charge of the bands of ali his reg- iments at the capital, but also of the music ofthe Sultan’s harem. Other children were born to them at Constantino- pie. Heleftthe Turkish capital to come to America, dwelling a yearin Germany, and traveling in [taly before coming here. For many years they residedin New York and Brooklyn. On coming to this country he continued his profession, leading orchestras and teaching music. The gentleman refer- red to is Mr. Frank Mezger, who, with his wife, is living with their younger son, F rank Mezger, Jr., on the Pitts farm, just out of the village. Of fourteen children. several of _ were born in this country, only six are , oe a deg ™ of in Madrid itself. the wife of Mr. Frank De Morville, a com- positor in the Press office, is by birth an Arabian, and speaks all the languages known to her family except Portuguese and Ara- bic. Like her father, she is a musician and is giving lessonsin town in both vocal and instrumental music. The next yourg:r member of the family, who isa resident of Brooklyn, was also born in Constanti nople. The oldest son, whose marriage -was lately Antes in the Press, is also by birth 8 urk, and the other three—a sister and two brotbers—are American born. College Hoodlums Indicted. New York Special to Cia. Enquirer. Western people with sons at Princeton will read with dissatisfaction that Jersey love of punishing has handicapped the in- stitution. On Saturday “> twenty-five members of the Freshman Class marcbed in a body through Princeton, destroying lamps, tnhinging gates and defacing prop- erty. The affair was remarkable for the value of the lamps which were broken. The town authorities were indignant, and brought the matter before the Mercer county grand jurv. It was investigated at tength, andthe names of the offending parties se- cured. At noon to-day the jurv brouchtin indictments agvinst twenty-three students, and capiases were at once issued for their arrest. These will be served on the Col- lege authorities, but the students themselves will not be taken into custody. They will be required to plead on Friday. The charge is malicious mischief, and the penalty can be made severe in Jersey. President McCosh endeavored to secure a reversal of the jury’s decision to indict, but§ failed. The matter creates much excitement. . The indicted students’ names are unknown at present. Without Foundation, London Dispatch to N. Y. Tribune.

CORKHILL would stumble and fall into a rat-hole now we believe the American people would be satisfied. He has been dancing on the siack-rope long enough. Mr. WOLFF thinks, with us, that Mr. Cup- PLES bas been unjustly abused for the action tiken by the police authorities against the “Herdics.” Mr. C. was notin the city when the restraining order was issued. ——_—_— _— --- — EFFIGY SARGENT is still shivering on the north side of the White House and there is talk of making Bootu Secretary of the In- terior. This would destroy the “Robin Hood” theory of the Administration. AsSareader and patron of the St. Louis Republican we demand to know what that paper means to iasinuate this morning when itsays that SARAH BERNHARDT has no use for a man sitting on her doorstep at night. GUITEAU’S theory is that the jury which convicted him was not made up of Christian men. If he had been held up before a jury composed of clergymen he thinks that they would have beeu able to grasp the “inspira- tion’’ idea. THE men who fire cannons and light bon- fires in celebration of the verdict in the GUITEAU case are bigger fools than the as- sassin himseif. The people of this country ought to be a notch or two above the bioody scalp-dance of the aborigine. OUR school-boys are improving. Last week a youngster in Llinois stabbed and killed his teacher, and yesterday an Ohio pupil killed a school director who had been called in to discipline him. This is a glorious country. Our children are all impressed with a sense of independence anda love of per- sonal liberty. es — —— tT MARY ANDERSON writes to a Boston paper | viciously denying the rumor that she is sign- ing her mame Mamin, and asking it tore- tract the assertion. The mistake probably arose from the fact that Dr. Ham ILTON GRIFFIN, her assistant pa, always siens his name **HAM™MI©’’ when writing to the peo- ple ef the press ‘or advance notices. PITTSBURG denouncea polygamy with great vehemence last night. Why doptéethey call a mass meeting occasionally in Pittsburg to denounce some of their own crime#such as murder, rape, bigamy, infanticide, bur- giary,seduction, usury, gambling and pros- titution? The moral reformers are alwavs sweeping the horizon with a telescope, HAVING treated in extenso of Ex-Postmas- ter General JAMES as “‘a liar and perjurer,’’ the Washington organ of the Star Routers now devotes a column to himin his capacity as “Sneak Thief.’’ If Mr. JAMES Can get a little assistance from the lawyers he will probably levy on that new perfecting press. The criticisms of the Critic approach the critical point. —— ~~ — MR. ROSEAUD, the husband of CHRISTINE NILSSON, the singer, is reported to be insane, He da»bvledin stocks on the Paris Bourse, but inasmuch as the money lost belonged to his talented wife, he ought to have been able to supprese his grief. A few “Warewell Concerts” in the United States would have squared him and prepared him for another bout with the boys. THIRTY-TWO workmen are on trial in Prague for having spoken disrespectfully of the Emperor of Austria. Itisto be hoped the severest penalty of the law willbe vis- ited upon these wretches. Any man who faile to realize the inestimable boon which the scrofulous House of Hapsburg has been to the human race should be boiled to death in oil, after the zood old fashion of the six- teenth century. A A A TH Agaspecimeu ofthe intellect that con- trois our legisiation in Washington now it may be mentioned that the House Judiciary Committee has decided to apportion the bual- ance of the Geneva Award Fund, now in the Treasury, among war premium menand the merchants who suffered at the hands of the sxculpated cruisers. The claims of these rentiemen were expressly ignored by the Geneva Tribunal. Ifsucha law is passed Great Britain will be jusufiead in demanding the return of the money—amounting now to about $7,000,900. ————————— Bx-ATTORNEY GENERAL TaFT, of “Oiln« einnati, isthe controlling man in Obio poli- tics now.

Mosgs Fra- LEY, of St. Louis, and declined, will create aurprise. We are not astonished by the ten- der of the position to Mr. FRALEY, but the declination Knocks us al) of aheap. Mr. F. is an accomplished diplomat and financier, and the Czar of Russia would feel highly complimented to have him at his side about this time. The finances of Russia are very much depressed and Mr. FRALEY could be of great assistance to the Czar in the matter of placing government bonds and barbering government notes. — —— Now that the ‘“‘Herdics’’ have settled down into peaceful possession of the streets it is plain to see how prone the public is to go off at half-cock when there is a little dis- turbance of the municipal atmosphere. As a matter of fact the Herdic managers never asked permission to make a_ stand at the crowded corner of Fourth and Olive streets, and Mr. BURNHAM was justified in complaining of what he,with others, regarded as a nuisance. The Police Commissioners merely did their duty in enforcing the law. Mr. WOLFF, virtually admits this himself. If the ‘‘Herdics’’ had made their terminus in front of BARR’sor the‘ establishment of SCRUGGS, VANDERVOORT & BARNEY there would have been a complaint, no doubt, and the police authorities would have been com- peiled to take the same action that they took on Wednesday. This much by way of simple justice to the Pol'ce Board. — OUR citizens who read in yesterday’s PosT-DISPATCH the interview with Comp- troller ADREON must have appreciated the entire vindication of our crusade against tax- | dodging afew years ago. Mr. ADKEON isa | thoroughly honest, capable and sincere ofli- cial. He has grown up in his officeand beis | to some extent independent of parties and politicians, and yetitis a courageous thing) for him to publicly declare that if the rich men of St. Louis would make proper tax re- turns the duplicate would be increased $35,- 000,000. The poor little householders are | forced by inexorable law to list their effects for taxation, but tne men who have invisible wealth—euch as bonds, notes, stocks, etc.— defy the assessor, and cheat the city out of hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. With our fixed and unalterable tax rate this **dodging”’ simply cuts down the municipal revenues, and asa resuit we have wretched streets, acrippied police and fire depart. | ment, and all material progress is estopped. | Let al] “leading citizens” resolve to treat St. | Louis with absolute fustice the next time | the Assessor comes round. | | } —_— —— — — - ——_ - .—_- THE antiquarians bave discovered that the | French fiacres are so calledin honor of Saint | FIAKER, thesonof an Irish King, the year 600, who was supposed to insure | his clients and servitors against «!l manner | of accidents. | born in | Historv does not record what | premium Saint FIAKER charged, or whether he ever adopted the seductive Tontine plan, but for the honor in whieh he has been held it is altogether reasonabie to suppose that he never went into liquida- tion and no page either of sacred or profane history mentions a receiver of Saint FIAKER. Itis probable that the Saint never haa t- borrow assets to exhibit to the commissioner | andthathe did business upon a busiuess basis all through his corporate existence. We had a SAINTLOUISMUTUALLIFEINSUR- ANCECOMPANY in this city some time ago whose relics are gradually disappearing, and : | iin d@uty on the insurance companies. up to the time of going to press no authenti- eated miracle has been performed at his shrine.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: At the request of a number of friends and readers of the Post-DisPaTcu, I supply the following sketch of the romantic career of my friend Mr. Edmund O’ Donovan, F. T. C. D., M. A. The cool impudence of English writers, to appropriate every Irish name that bas achieved honorable renown, is, to the unbiased reader of literature and history, simply amusing. The genial Goldsmith is always classed as an English poet, though when living his English associates merci- lessly ridicuied his pronounced Hibernian brogue. Burke, a child of the Blackwater, is always looked upon by British writers as one ef Engiand’s statesmen, notwithstanding his Irish birth, blood and breeding. Sheridan is an Englishman according to English ideas. Edmund Kean, an Irisiman in every sense of the word, they also haul in, as a national representative of the stage, to their cosmo- politan fishbasket. I suppose if Ireland re- mains a British province a few genera- tions longer the author of “Arthur O’ Leary,” Father Prout, Tom Moore, etc., etc., will be transiormed into English. Even at the prefent day we have England claiming men to whom they naturally have no more claim than ancient Carthage. They ciaim Oscar Wilde. Well, if they do notclaim his illustrious mother, Speranza, we don’t care; they can have him. ‘The world knows thatif genius be hereditary, Qscar’s genius comes from the mother. If Oscar is not an Irisn- man, it would be hard to discover one. His father was born in Mayo and his mother was born in Wexford, and himself was born iu Dublin. Dr. Sir William Wilde was one of the most remarkable men in Ireland. Ilis devotientothe study of Irish antiquities was enthusiastic and untiring, and he, too, was considered body and sou/ English. Mem- ory and historical reference might ng anv amount of evidence to prove those English writers of the day the kidnappers of genius and renown. But England’s presumption of the past is altogether thrown .in the shade by her living presumption of the day, when she claims through the blazoning columns of her press, the gallant O’Donovan as the “first English- man that ever entered Merv.’’ The only Briton, etc., etc. They would, as it seems, like to forget who Mr. ©’Donovan is, aud would desire it 1o be understood that for British giory he has submitted himself to guch sufferings, and thatit was his British manhood and ability that raised him to the Triumvirate of Merv. Mr. O'Donovan is not a Briton nora west Briton eitner, avd bis sufferings and exploits in the East are not the first by which he became a distinguished man. Edmund O’ Donovan is the son of the late Professor Jobn O’ Donovan, LL. D., M. R. 1. A.,anative of the County Ciare, Ireland, the eminent Irish scholarand archaeoiowist whoin conjunction with Professor Eugene O’Curry translated from the ancient Irish language to English the “Annals of the Four Masters,’’ the “Brehon Laws,’’ etc., etc. Atan early age Mr. O’Donovan proved himself an Irish patriot, and as such has al- ready enjoyed the hospitality of [ler Majes- ty’s government, having been incarcerated in her bastiles while yet a young man during the Fenian excitement of 1864-68. His first imprisonment, under the habeas corpus act in 66, was in Richmond Prisou, Dublin, an when released was again arrested and suf- fered ten months’ imprisoument in the Lim- erick jail. Onhisrelease he came to the United States, where he remained for a time, contributing to the press. Returning to Europe during the Franco-Prussian war he servedin the armyof the Loire, commanded by Gen. Shauncy, and for extraordinary bravery and coolness displayed by him while mmmanding his company in disputing the sagemte ridge with the enemy in the city of Orleans be was decorated with tbe Cross of the Legion of Honor by President Thiers. After the close of the French war Mr. O'Donovan was sent to Spain a special cor- respondent of the London Daily News to re- port the Carlists campaigns, where he was again imprisoned by the Carlists and de- tained until [Irish ecclesiastical influence re- leased him. He was tnen sent as war cor- Ce sar gresy tothe Russo-Turkish war, and, while in that capacity, on the staff of Suli- man Pasha, wrote graphic sketches of the campaign. After the close of the jatter, Mr. O’Donovan, who is a sp'endid linguist, was sent Out hy thesame journal to report the progress of the Russian expedition towards the Meriot, in which hc was arrested bv the Russian commander and had a narrow escape from being shot, as he had on a former occasion by the Car- lists. His liberation, however, was effected, and he made his way to Merv and thence across the Persian frontier. The Constanti- nopie correspoudent of the Daily News says that Mr. O’Donovan is occupied in writing an account of bis journey back from Merv. Perhaps the most remarkable feature in connection with his residence there was the amount of influence he succeeded io obtain- inhabitants. councilor chiefs was elected a chief, He addressea the hours, a collection of about a halfa million of inhap- Itauts occupying an oasis inthe South Cen- tral Asiatic plain. As Trinmver, a specia! fortified residence was bonstructed for him within a wali of seventy yards square. Into this residence be was solemniy inducted amid a salute of twenty-one guns. The crim- son silk flag was then hoisted, and power of life and death was grenied him. When he left it was with an escort of fifi'y Turcomans, commanded by two Kuans. They passea by way ofthe Chacha and Tandara Mountains, a route never before traversed by any Luro- pean, meeting, en route fifteen Cossacks and fifteen Persians engaged in surveying the proposed Russo-Persian frontier. Mr. O’Donovan had short'y before encountered Ayoob Khan’s brother, who was marching to join Ayoob, and who spoke bitterly against the Enclish for taking Abdui Rahman’s side, ins.ead of his broth- er’s. The Turcom«n escort ieft Mr. O'Don- oyan at Meshed. There he had « long inter- view with Hussien Khan, Premier of Persia, who presented bim with ithe Order of Honor. Before reaching Teheran he was delayed by a sevéré’' fever, brought on by the bite of a woncus insect. From Teberan he re- rned by way of Resbdt and Astrachan to Constantinople, and thence to London.

The performance at the Olympic last even- ing wasBulwer’s creat melodrama, fheLady of.Lyons,’”’ Miss Fanny Davenport enacted the part of Pauline with more warmth and feeling than she has bithberto thrown in the part, and it was the work of a thoroughly trained and conscientious artiste.

Mr. Stevens has interested 4 large class of theater-goers who would like to see him in another part. Large crowds gather every night at the rand Opera House before the opening of the doors and Haverly’s Masto- dons are enjoying one of the most prosper- ous weeks of the season. The performance is entirely after the “modern improved’’ style and is full of pleasing, interesting and well varied features. The box office sales for next week opened yesterday and the prospects for next week are for a generally good business. Pat Short will bave a very Short house at the Olympic February 4th; thatis it will be packed to overflowing as usuai. None more worthy of a big event than the big-hearted treasurer.

At the Olympic Miss Fannie Daven- port will appear in the afternoon as Camille and in the evening as Lady Gay Sparker and Nancy Sikes. The Natatorium roller skating rink is pros- perous and enjoys the patronage of the best people in town. Old and young can induige in the pastime aud wiil find it of exceeding penefit. Wayman McCreery’s opera of “L’Afrique”’ receives its New York introduction at th2 Bijou Theater on Monday next. The success of the opera and the reception ef Mr. Phil. Branson and Miss Lizzie Keiler will be watched here with particular inierest. The third concert of the St. Louis Musical Union was given last night at Mercantile Li- brary Hall, before afashionabie and highly critical audience that filied the ha@l to the verv, doors and after the concert opened even standing room was not to be obtained. The orchestral pieces were grandly rendered. Mr. Geo. Heerich’s violin performance of Ernst’s ‘Othello’? fantasie was enthusiastic- ally received and Miss Cora Stone’s contralto solos were exquisitely sung, and ber first solo was such a success that a rule was broken and she was com- peiled to respond to an encore. Mr. A. Waldauer has good reason to be proud of bis great work, which has accom- plished more for St. Louis than can at present be realized. The future of the St. Lonis Musical Union is no longer a doubtful mat- ter.

It has a good deal of Ruskin and Goethe, ilavored with Burns, Jones and Swinburn, and larzely diluted with Oscar Wilde, and is perfectiy harmiess. a Valentine Cards Just received and on sale at E.

A San Francisco sign-painter, who does a large business in disguising black eyes, sailed for Europe yesterday, the profits of the holi- dav trade having justified him in — a pleasure trip across the Atlantic. Just be- fore he started he told a Chronicle reporter that his ordinary price for fixing one eye was ——Ee qunsgeaes<omnt shall be issued for a less term than one introduced the speaker. Col.

It is estimated that there are fuliy 3,000 houses coming underthis ordinance.

From the New York Sun. By a law of nature there would seem to be a pre-established harmony between little giris and dolls. This «flinity may,on occasion, be so far extended us to take in miniature tea sets. When the relation is disturbed— when the child is severed from the toy and led out upon the public concert stage—the order of nature suffers violence, and the right things are no longer in the right places. Itisimpossible to look with any great favor on the appearance of such ‘‘child elo- cutionisis’’ ((o quote from the programme) as tise Mabel Clare Stephenson, who came before the public last night at Chickerin Hall. Tosdée a microscopic midget of eight or nine summers strutting and i through an elaborate bit of declamation | lastly on sentimental grounds, hgcause by incineration friends would be able to pre- serve the ashes of their loved ones “free from the frolics of the festive worms, who after their frolics leave only dust, and dust which one cannot say whether itis that of potentaie, poet, prince or philosopher.”? Such remarks ag these tended to a constant reduction of the rather meagre audience assembied to listen to the speaker. That birth was a casualty, life a stern reality and death and decomposi- tion certainties, was his text when he stuck to it. From this he deduced thatit was the duty of the living to preventthe unnecessarily sudden exit from the world of coming genera- tions “by rebuking the criminal character of inhumation, which spreads broadcast in earth, air and water the germs of disease and death, and thus constantly reduces the rate of longevity.”? This, he said, must oe done by grappling with a custom that ruies despotic- ally. The necessary revolution could not be brought about by law, he said, because “honest legisiation has beeome an absolute nonenity,’? because “monopoly manipula'ing miilions magnetizes men’’ and prevents them from passing lawsthat the country needs. He claimed that Chinese immigration to this country was due in great part to the fact that the Chinese Empetor found bis country one vast grave-yard, a breeder ef death and dis- ease, and one that without enforced extirpa- tion would result in its fading out of sight as one of the great nations of the earth. Then the lecturer asked, ‘*Do you propose to convert this country into a vast Chinese cemetery and charnel house?” and claimed it would be done unless inhumation was at once superseded by cremation. This would be done he said, when truth “forged her fetters into foils ard fought her way to freedom and to faune.’’?’ He paid his respects to the undertaker by saying “to undertake to save an undertaker wou!d exhaust the scheme of redemption, as there wou'dn’t be enough forgiveness left for anyone else.’’ Letters of regret at theirinability to be present atthe meeting were read from Felix Adler, the Rey. Dr. H. M. Scudder and Kate Field, the two latter believers in cremation. Kate Field wrote: “I hope it (the lecture) will be a convincing argument in favor of crems- tion. I have no desire when I die to poison earth, air and water.” Valentine Cards, Our assortment of Valentine Cards is un- equaled in this city. B. JACCARD JEWENRY Oo., Fifth and Olive streets we, $250 He made tbe astonishing statement that some of his best customers are ladies. “Yes, sir,’’? he said, “accidents, you know, will happeninthe best regulated families, and the feminine weakness for black eyes must be gratified in some way. Nearly all the black eyes are obtained in the same way, if my information is correct. It’s always either a piece of stoveewood that jumps up and hits the unfortunate ladies, or a piece of bricea-brac that drops down and caroms on theirlovely eyebrow. Poor things! It’s as- tonishing what dangers they incur in per- forming their household duties. It’s aston- ishing that the Legislature or the Board of Supervisors doesn’t do something to sup- press the quarrelsome disposition of stove- wood and bricea-brac. There’s a collection of old pilates and mugs in a house on Van Ness avenue that I’d back for $1,000 to whip Paddy Ryan or any other prize fighter in the country.’’ ‘*Have you noticed that these inbuman acts of bric-a-bac and stovewood are affected in any way by the season??’ ‘*‘Weli—yes. Such festive occasions as Christmas and New Year seem to excite the brutal instincts of both tothe highest pitch. I have noticed, though, that other articies are much more affected by seasons and by outside events than bric-a-brac and stove- wood are. The latter are always filled with an implacable animosity to married women and gratify their hatred whenever the de- fenseless victims give them achance, Rock- ing chairs, hat-racks, stairways, mats, doors and mantels are only the mortal enemies of the male sex and do more to keep up the price of sticking plaster than Harry May- nard’s gymnasium. Hardly a day passes that I don’t have tofetch up some worthy citizen who has been knocked off his pins by a rocking chair or garroted by a hat rack. The other night one of the sedate merchants on California street was quietly crawling up stairs to his family, boots in der the ear tbat nearly lifted him out of his stockings Before the astonished citizen could defend bimself the stairs joined in the attack and belabored him so un that when be dropped into my shop the next day I thought he must have come down head first through the stove pipe.

Of the latter each importation show- larger ana more elab- orate shapes, and never has any style of bat been so becoming, as well as picturesque, particularly as each person can bend the hat into any fanciful shape to suit the particular. style or complexion. It is said that the large shapes wiil appearinthespring importations; but it seems to be understood by the general public that one hat is sufficient for all pur- poses, even for an evening toilette at the theater, when for that, or any other evening occasion, there are some charming little bonnets and hats,pokes and horseshoes, simply covering the wearer’s own head, without interfering with her neighbors. These are, according to the amusement of the evening, made of richly beaded lace or powdered with pearls, bright with orna- ments in the shape of iridescent crabs, drag- ooflies, stars, owls and frogs; others are made of suft marabout tips and other pretty, downy feathers. Scarfs of white Spanish lace are fastened gracefully on gsimali Jace frames and fastened with ornaments made of the delicate pink Scotch pearis, Some very elegant bonnets are seen in rich red satin and plush, trimmed with creamy white lace and white feathers. Simiiay bonnets are made of white satin or piush, and trimmed with lace, pearls and nodding hite ostrich owing to covers the umes. Strings are unne SENTENCED fO HANG.

In Tow. SANDY HOOK, January 27.—The steamer Edam, from Rotterdam, before reported off the coast, with propeller gone, is now off the light-ship in tow of the steamer Napier, from London. Oscar Wilde’s Father. From the Washington Republican. His father, Sir William Wilde, was a Dub- lin surgeon who, as an oculist gained the highest rouad of eminence, and whose name, incommon with Sir Philip Crampton, Sir Henrv Marsh, Sir Dominick Corrigan, Stokes and O’Farrell, holds a niche among the m+ d- ical saints ofthe anciant city of Eblana. But Sir William was neither saint nor #-+thete— in fact, the very anithesis ofeither. In dress, personal appearance an manner he loved to be outre. His hair was worn iong and brushed behind his ears, after the manner of our frontier scouts, and his appearance on the streets, generally driying like a lunatic, has often given rise to mot “Wilde byname and Wild by nature.’”? The old gentleman had still another reputation on the Don Giovanni order tbat it point of naughtiness was ‘‘tou utterly too, too.” About eighteen years since he figured as defendantinacivil action brought against him by the daughter of a brother physician. The unscrupulous use of chloroform was the burden of the charge. The in- jured maiden was a spinster of some thirty- tive or forty years, strong-minded and a biue stocking in her way, but the jury, discredit- ing the necessity ofan anesthetic in her case, gave a verdict of sixpence damages withuut leaving the box. Oscar Wilde’s mother was alsu a genius, but one ofa very different type, and with a reputation pure as snoOW. How False Teeth Are Made. From the Wilmington (Del.) Star. A reporter of the Star recently visited a factory in this citv where false teeth are made by the million. In the process of man- ufacture the silex and feldspar in their crude atate are submitted toared heat and then suddenly thrown into cold water,the effect being torenderthem more easily pulver- ized. Having been ground very fine in wa- ter, and the water evaporated, the two ma- terials mentioned are dried andsifted. The kaolin is washed free from impurities. These materials, with feldspar. sponge, platina and flux in proper proportion for the enamel are miX+d with water and worked into masses resembiing putty. This done the un- baked porcelain masses are ready for the molding. room. Tbe molds are in two pieces and are made of brass, one-half of the teeth or sections being oneither side. The culoring materials are first placed in the ex- act position and quantity required and the body of the tooth and the gum is inserted in humps corresponding to the size of the teeth. The molds are then closed and they are dried by asiow heat. When perfectiy dry they are taken out and sent to the trimmers’ room. The trimmers remove im- perfections and send them in trays of fire clay to the furnace, where, having remained for tweuty minutes, they are complete. **Edipus Tyrannus” in Boston. Boston special! to Chicago Tribune. ‘‘Edipus Tyrannus” was brought out at the Globe Theater with all the careful detail of costume and stage accessories which char- acterized its production at the Harvard Uni- versity last year. The attendance was not very large, but this was owing in part to the- bitterly cold weather. It rather jarred on the audience to have George Reddie, the Ed- ipus, speak his lines in the original Greek, while the rest of the company used Engiish, and it is doubtful if the piece wili be success ful throughout the country on this account. Still the performance passed off very smooth- lv and elicited a limited amount of applause. Miss Georgia Cayvan was admirable as Jecasta. A Mania for Suicide in Austria. Vienna Correspondence N. Y. hee ‘ We do not know of any other people in the world 4 ready to solve the difficulties of life by resorting to suicide as the Austrian. Here is a girl of fourteen who throws herself head foremost into the Danube because her teach- ers were dis her.. Then a — for ball dresses. of the eyes which it would be difficult to cure, sends his wife to a distance on some pretext, and during her absence kills the two- boys and commits suicide. The mother is left with two other children and the misera- nle pension acca'ded.to a M jor’s widow, $200 a vesr. In Vienna a shvemaker, once very well off but reducedin circumstances brought about by drink and idleness, sees no other means of ending his misery than by shooting first his wife and then himself. One cannot help thinking that the detailed ac- counts of suicides c ntained in all the pa- pers contribute towards the spreading of this mania, which used some time ago to be con- fined to unhappy lovers and criminals who saw No escape. The Spectre of Vicksburg Siege. Gen. Landram ina kecent Address. I remember to have been standing on ® knoll in front of my headquarters on a beane tiful night listening tothe fire of batteries. The moon was outin ali its splendor, and the flashes that gleamed from the mouths ofa hundred guns could be seen for miles to the right and left. Standing upon an adjacent. hill to my right atali figure was seen clothed in white. It seemed tobe thatof a man at least seven feet high, but the uniform waa not that ofa soldier. In tones never to be forgotten and that echoed from hill to ¥a and from va'ley to hill, the words “‘Cease fire ing’? were beard from bis unearthly-looking figure, as though he was commanding the world and giving the order, ‘‘By kingdoms, right wheel.’”? Summoning up all the cours age at my command, [ hailed him with the inquiry, ‘‘Who.on earth are you?” The prompt and emphatic response was;,,¥I am nt ny Burbridge’s orderly in my night shirt. ; FASHION NOLES.

John Burke at Union Depot this morning 4 few minutes after the Missouri Pacific train arrived. ‘“‘What on earth do you want to know that for? I can’t tell you, but why do you ask?” “Oh, well,ify»u don’t know that, may be you can tell me where to go to find Ida Burke’s house.’’ **What do you want there?” “Well, I’m from Kansas City,”’ said the lit- tle fellow, “‘and I’m around seeing my kin folks, you see. Now, heard my mother say that mv grandmother was keeping house for Ida Burkein this city, 80 Ijthought I’d hunt her up and see herif I could. I guess I won’t stay to see her now because I’m going back on the first train it I can make my wav.” The little fellow said his mame was He lived on Me- Olney Buraen. Gee, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, Kansas*Citv, and ieft because his fatner whipped him. O'ney did not starve whiie at the depot.

SPORTING SQUIBS. Messrs. Oscar Walker and Ed. Fusselbach, ofthe new st. Louis Browns nine, are ex- pected to arrive here ina few days. They will acclimate in advance of the other men. The St. Louis Browns will probably make their proposed trip to New Orleans to play there during the Mardi Gras festivities. Ar- rangements are being made for the excur- sion. A foot race is taiked of between Nally, the weil-known pedestrian, tnd Denneber. Con- siderable rivalry exists between the parties, and it is possible that a match will be made between them at Grand Avenue Park for Sunday. Mr. Stephens, the leading spirit in the Creve Ceur Lake movement, says that great efforts will be made the coming summer to make it a great popular resort, and a number of loca] amateur and professional races are spoken of which will be on a more important scale than any ever given here. On Sunday afternoon the foot ball match between the Hornet’s and Mike Walsh’s team will come off at Sportsman’s Park, Grand avenue, and if all aspects of weather and ground are favorable, it will be a most exciting contest. A foot ballis offered by Manager Cuthbert for the victorious team. The Browns have not as yet concluded their contract with Harry Arundel, and late advices state that the management are look- ing aftera New York player who recentiv came to the front wonderfully, and isa promising pony. The infusion of new blood in the St. Louis team is most beneficial. A curious phenomena, which is attracting numbers of local sportsmen to the Gasronide river, is the large capture of fine bass found in the famous boiling springs tn the middle of the river. Several parties leave to-day ana to-morrow, and those returning report the taking of between two hundred and three hundred fine fish. Tom Kellv will be accompanied to New Orleans by quite a number of local sports who are anxious to see the Suliivan- Ryan fight on Febraary 7. A number of these gentlemen will go to inspect property around Cairo, while others will allude to doctor’s advice and take a rest from business cares. About the date named however pure accident will bring them in the vicinity of the *‘squared circie.”’ TURKEY FEATHER DUSTERS, l15c, were 25c; 20c, were 35c; 25c, were 40c, and 35c, were 50c, at great money-losing sale ot D.
