DISEMBARKATION COMPLETED. PORT Sap, August 23.—The opatives are now returning and resuming work. It is re- ported from;Ismalia that a force of the enemy numbering 3,000 have taken up a position ten miles distant fromthere. The disembarkation oftreops wiil be completed to-morrow. OFF FOR ALEXANDRIA. CONSTANTINOPLE, August 23.—Two Aus- trian Lioyd steamers with Turkish troops on board passed Rhodes, steering southeast. Haidar Pacha, former!y Egyptian Minister of France, on invitation ofthe Knhedive will start for Alexandria by special steamer. ALEXANDRIA, Ausrust 23 —Reaf Pasha has arrived here, The Nile is rising rapidly, BURNING THE VILLAGES. ALEXANDRIA, August 23 —Fires were ob- served last night in the neignborhood of Aboukirand Kafre] Dwar. It is believed that part of tge Evyp‘tian force is burning the villages either during or preparatory to a re- treat. MADE PRISONERS. ALEXANDRIA, August 23—The Austrian gunboat Nautilus, bound from Port Said to Alexandria, passed Aboukir on Monday. The commander, seeing the white fisg flying on Aboukir’s forts, supposed they were in pos- session of the Eogiish and sent a boat ashore ‘ith an officer and twelve men who were made prisoners by the Exgvptians. RETREATING IN DISORDER. ISMAILIA, August 23.—Since the engage- ment at Shuluf, the enemy has left every p sition they held petween Suez and Ismailia. Thev are retreating in disorder towards Zige azig. The cavalry will come on here. The Morning Budget. ALEXANDRIA, August 23.—The Khedive bas issued another decree to the authorities to implicitly obey Gen. Wolseley,who he says is authorized to restore order in Ezypt. During a reconnvissance Gev.Allison walk- ed forward to inspect the evening’s position. He was probably recognized, as he became the mark for the enemy’s shells. Five fel] around bim as he walked back, never quick- ening his pace, the nearest coming within a few yards of him. The smoke of numerous trains is again visible behind the énemy’s lines. The activity of Arabi Pasha has increased in & manner indicating a com- plete change in bis plans. In answer to the reconaoissance his guns opened fire from. va- rious directions, showing that during the night the enemy’s artillery had been much strergihened. A new battery arrived with six guns and has been placed in position. I’ now seems tha: at the first scare, caused by the disc very that the fleet bad gone to the canal, Arabi Pasha withdrew a creat propor- tion of his infantry to Damanhour, but that on Monday night, on considering that some time must elapse before an advance can be made from Ismailia with an ef- ficient force to caary his de- feunse on the line up to Zagazig, he again advanced to his old position, whicb he bepes to hold until the rise of the Nile en- ables him to hold the ¢ untry. LONDON, Auvust Y3—Gen. Sir Garnet Wolseley visiied De Lesseps Monday and ex- plained the action «of the British in regard to theSuez Canal. He saidever: thing would be over in a few days, but that Kogland must use the canal for ibe present. De Lesseps ex- pressed him-e'f as fully satistied with Gen- Wolseley’s exp!anation, and said he regretted there had been any misunderstanding on the subject. ISMAILIA, August 23.—Arabi Pasha was here four davs ago and dined with De Lesseps. He reported his troops at Tek e] Ketbir strongly entrenched. Several more of Arabi Pasha’s officers sur- rendered Tuesday. They allege many more .fficers and men wish to surrender, but are afraid, owiug to Arabi Pasha’s spreading re- ports that the English shootall prisoners. The Prospects of the War. Constantinop:e Letter to New York Sun. The Egiptian soidiers may not be very tegic condition in their favor. The months of August and September are the most un- healthy in Evypt, and by flooding the country during these months, when the inundation is ut its highest, military movements must be attended with the most extreme diflicultv. From a purely military point of view there. ean be no doubt that the wisest tactics would be for the English to content themselves with holding Alexandria, Rosetta, Damietta, and the Suez Canal, and ailowing Arabi to stew ip Lis own juice and the tepid waters of the Nile til) winter, when a campaiga against him might be undertaken With every Chance of a rapid and successful result. The objection to this course lies in the he would uppearinthe eyes of Islam, and especially of the natives of India, to be keep- ing the army of England successfullv at bay. Every day’s delay would increase his pres- tige and might possibly encourage risings elsewhere. Jt has, therefore, I believe, been determined to commence operations against him at once: but he must be of a sanguine temperament who supposes that in the month of September a campaign to Cairo will be a work easily eccomplished. There have already been painful iadications of misman- agement in the transport and commissariat depariments, and itis not likely that the in- variable experience of English armies which commence operations too hurriediy and with tev small a foree will be departed from on this cecasion. We may§expect, therefore, a few disasters to begin with. Meantime, public feeling here against the English, and in favor of Arabiis increasing every day, and it is not impossible that the CHEAPEST. Prescriptions Compounded by Graduates of Pharmacy, in English, | German and French. between the BritishGovernment and the Porte may lead to a diviomatic rupture. Whether it does or not depends upon the nature of the secret support which the Turkish Govern- ment is receiving either from Germany or Russia, or from both. Itis a most tempting moment for Powers who have selfish objects of their own to gain ‘to intrigue against another in the sense that suits them, even if their advice is ca'culated to bring ruin upon the power to which they offer it. At this moment, moreover, the position of France and italyisinthe highest degree equisocal and uncertain. It mav be that a new Govern- ment in France may adopt a more adventurous policy than that of M. de Freycinet, and desire to operate jointly with England in Egypt, which might involve the most serious after complications. Italy is fu- rious at the isolated action of England so far, would be still more enraged if France were to join her, and vet hangs backfrom accert- ing the invitation which has been tendered to her of co-operation. In fact, the position all round is as gloomy and unsatisfactory for the Powers immediate- ly interested as can well be imagined, and the Egvptiam question may yet prove the ruin of the two men who are the most anti- pathetic to each other. In it the Sultan and Mr. Gladstone are probably laying the found- ations of their own political extinction. Russia. ST. PETERSBURG, August 23.—Lieut. Berry, who commanded the Rodgers, and Engineer Melviille,§ off the Jeannette, will be received by the Czar this afternoon. They start for home to-morrow. THK TRIPLE TRAGEDY. Great Excitement at Mt. Pulaski—An Arrest on Suspicion. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, ILL., August 23.—Reports from Mt.Pulaski relative to the horrible triple tragedy near that place indicate a great state of excitement and mystification still existing. The arrest of Frank Rush, formerly in the employ of McMahon, one of the murdered men, is not thought to promise much, though reasonable grounds of suspicion against bim exist. It is known that he was much exasperated at being discharged from McMahon’s employ some three months ago, and be is said to have made threats that he would get even with McMahon yet. When arrested he asserted his innocence of either knowledge of or connection witb the crime, and said he had slept Friday night—the nighi of the murder—in a box car at Latham, five miles from McMahon’s house,in company with a hegro named George Mey- ers. This pegro is understood to claim that this statement is not true and that he did not see Rush after ten o’clock Friday night. At least the authorities have though: they are justified in detaining Rush, and he has accordingly been lodged in jail at Lin- colin. $ The Govermor is greatly exercised over the late outbreaks of crime in the State, and is seriously contemplating the OFFERING Of LARGE REWARDS and — trusting to the Legislature to make them good. The .contin- gent fund of the State is now down to about $3,000, so that little can be done except by some such method asthat suggested. The Governor bas stated privately that if he feit sure the offer wpuld help the arrests, he would offer $1,000,for each person implicated, both in the Cass countyand the Logan county matters, borrow the money at the bank himself in case it is needed, and trust tothe Legislature to bring him out all right. Private information from Mt. Pulaski states that the detectives have clues on which it is possible arrests of suspected parties in tha) town will occur to day. The suspicions are of such a nature as not to warrant publica- tion until something develops out of them. THREE MEN SUSPECTED. CHICAGO, August 23.—A Mount Pulaski, Ilt., special says: Evidence is multipiying that accomplished murderers perpetrated the triple teagedy at McMahon’s farm. The far- mers have a well organized search in prog- ress, and will ransack the country. The arrest of Rush last night was more of a pre- c:ution thao any(hing else. Su-picionis more directed against M. R. Hail, a desperado res- ident, who has been much reduced latelv and has been working out. He knew McMahon well, being distantly related to him. H's ac- tions and record are suspicious. Oliver Hail, bis brother, and Jobn Av Peltz are also sus- pected. None of them have been arrested, but all are shadowed. A BIG CORNER. Chicago Shorts Squeezed in a Six Mil- lion Bushell Deal. Special to the Post-Vispatcn. CHICAGO, August 23 —Everybody is watch- ing wiih great interest the progress of a cor- ner in August oats that promises to squeeze a big line of shorts, despite the timely ‘arrival of the largest receipts ever known here. Some time ago a pool was formed in Peoria, Lil., of persons who bought all the August oats obtainable and have since been quietly holding through several Chicago brokers. The short interest is estimated at 6,000,000 bushels. Yesterday 125,000 bushels to be delivered on August coutracts arrived, but were bought up. At the present rate, not more than 1,500,000 bushels is likely to arrive before the close of the month, when the longs are expected to force August up to 60. ne. 2 thought tney will be able to sell cash stuff left on their bands at about what it cost them. The clique dare not throw their dea), as the price would drop five cents before they could close it out. August option is fiimand advancing. Telegrams are being received every hourindicsting an immense short interest in al! parts of the country. David Davis’ Marriage. Special to the Post-Dispatcn. BLOOMINGTON, ILL, August 23,.--The rela- tives and friends of Senator David Davis here discredit the rumor tbat he is to wed a widow lady residing at Fayett- vile, N. CGC. The truth is that there is not the least foundation whatever for such a report, and the various reports about his coming nuptials with various wealthy widow ladies residing in different parts of the country are purely the work of some newspaper correspondents who ob- tain their information from unreliable sources. In conversation with George P. Davis, Senator Davis’ son, it was learned thatall reperts about his father’s approaching marriage were allbosh. He was expected to be at his home in this city and would prob- ably sail for Europe in company with one or two relatives residing at Scranton, Pa. Victor Emanuel Wins.

Gordon Will Not Take Senator Hill’s Soat. satan Demand For Government Saving Banks— The Tariff Commission—No Chance for Book~ walter. Specia’ to the Post-Dispatcn. s WASHINGTON, August 23.—The talk that Gen. Gordon will succeed the late Senator Hill seems to be without authority or proba- bility. I met to-day a gentleman well ac- quainted with Gen. Gordon, and he only laughed when Gordon’s re-election to the Senate was mentioned. “Why,” be said, “it’s nonsense to think of it. Gordon was Senator and resigned, and there is much greater reason now that he should refuse to be a Senator than there was then.’? **W hat is the reason?” I asked. “Most people consider it an honor to be a Senator.” “Iv’?s an honor, yes,” he answered, “put there isn’t enough money in it. Gen. Gordon is now traveling in Europe at 4 salary of $10,- 000 a year and expenses paid. He has just negotiated three million dollars of bonds for his road, the Georgia Pacific, and, even if he is ready tocome home, he will have all he cap attend to here in the way of business.” ‘*Is the General a successful business man, then??? “He has been quite successful sinca he resigned his seat in the Senate,’, was the reply, “but he was not hefore. Why, his house in Atlanta was soid over his head by the Sheriff twice and was bid in byhis friends and given to him again. Headores his wife, but she has no more business ideas than he. I never saw a couple more devoted to each other than they. She accompanied him all through the war and at Winchester, when he was trying to rally nis regiment, she rushed to the front, se'zed the flag and waving it urged the Georgians on to victory.” “You say he has made some money since he went out of potitics.”’ ‘*Yes, he has made a bundred and fifty thousand doliars since he resigned. He bought the charter of that Georgia and Pa- cific Road, and some New York capitalists paid him and his brothers to get subscriptions from the counties along the line of the road. They succeeded and were given three hun- dred thousand doliars for their work. He has made from fifty to a hundred thousand dollars since that and owns a large amount of stock in the Georgia and Pacific Road. He gets a salary for traveling about Europe of $10,000 and expenses paid, and 18 in a way to make #25,- 000 a year besides. That belong the case [ don’t see why he should want to become a Senator again at balfthe salary and no per- quisites.’’ GOVERNMENT SAVINGS BANKS. The West and South will make a strong ef- . fort during the coming season to pass the | vill creating a postal savings system. The axperience of those sections of the country has been so unsatisfactory that they incline: to favor something on an entirely safe basis. : New Engiand has been successful with’ savings banks, and therefore opposes the: plan for Government savings iastitutions. Some figures furnished by Hon. Green B. Raum, the Commissioner of Internal Reve- nue, however, show the necessity for having depositories of some kind in the South and in the West. According to these figures twenty- five States and Territories are without say- ings banks, and thev are allin the West and south. Every New England Staie has them, as have also the Middle States. In little Rhode Island the deposiis are put at $40,000,000, in Connecti- ent $80,000,000, in Massachusetts $241,. 000,000 against $18,000,000 in oiber banks, and in New Y-+rk there are $376,000,000 against $240,000,000 in other bank-. That, 3saVings banks or some svstem of savings are growing popular in this country is evidenced vy the fact thatthe capital of savings banks has more than doubled in the past two-vears, while the deposits have increased $50,000,000. The West and South, feeling the neea of some system of savirg depositaries which save, will earnestly urge the postal savings system reported from the committee last session and now awaiting action. ©The New England States have a savings bonk to every ten thousand inhabitants. : The other thirty-two States have but one to every 225,000 people. The posta] savings system of Engiand, which began twenty ‘ears ago With 455 deposits, amounting to $4,500, has steadily grown until it bas 7,000 depositories, with a total credit to the de- positories of $200,000,000. People who have studied the question carefully believe that a system of this sort will be of great benefit to’ . certain ciass of the community whose members now accumuiare nothiog. THE TARIFF COMMISSION. A gentleman who has been with the Tariff Commision thus far was here to-day in con- suitation with Secretary French touching certain matters pertaining to the work of the commission. In conversation with your cor- respondent, he stated that the commisrfun is really doing a great deal of hard work, but tbat there is great doubt about its being able to thor ughiy cover the ground in the time allotted. Thetes imony and statements of ‘he bundred or more witnesses who have appeared before it bave been cheerfuliy studied by the ‘members as_ the work has gone forward and are being thor- oughly digested. The commission, fif given sufficient time, would doubters do the sub- jec: thorough justice, so far, at least, as cou'd be expected uader the circumstances, and its members really work very earnestly, despite the general supposition that the commission is a mere junkeiting concern. - KEIFER’S DISTRICT. People who are in & position to know say that thetalk of the nomination of Book walter for Congress, a8 against Speaker Keifer, is nonsense. bookwalter, they say, is un- p pular in bis own State and district, ass shown by last fall’s election, * andis “high tariff to boot.” He is being pushed by a lot of young fellows witncut judgment or experience, and it is predicted tust if be is nominateu the result will be as ing. orious as it was when he attempted to carry the State for the Governorship.

St, Louis Post-Dispatch, Wednesday, August 28, 1882, | i a SHE TOOK HER LIFE - — How Friends Explain the Disappear- ance of Eila Walker. | The Girl’s Whereabouts Still an Un- solved Mystery. -— —__- Mr. W. S. Eames Thinks She Killed Her self and Says She Would Not Elope. News reached here late last night of the judden disappearance at Lake Minnetonka of Miss Ella Walker, daughter of Dr. George 3. Walker, of 2809 Washington avenue. The family have spent three successive summers atthe lake and bave made many friends among the habitues of this resort. On Mon- day evening, Mise Walker told her brother that she would take her rowboat and beach it around the point at a spot where the oiher boats were kept. Since that time nothing has been seen of the young lady, although the boat has been found turned ‘bottom side up, with her shawl in it. It is not thought, however, that she was accidentally drowned, as the young lady, aithough petite and delicate, was an expert in handling the oars, and nearly all the friends of the family think she has committed suicide. She was about 22 years of age, of a very reserved dis- nosition. fand was highly esteemed by her friends, though she never made any overtures toward increasing her list of acquaintances. There has been for along time avery warm at- tachment between her and Mr. W. S. Eames, the son of the dentist, who is emploved in the City Hail. The parents of the young people are not on very friendly terms, and while no objections were ever opeply made to the asso- ciation of the young couple, they felt that at any time they were liable to meet with obsta- cles in their contemplated union. When the family of Dr. Walker were about to leave for Minnetonka Miss Ella did not want to go,and was only persuaded after a long resistance. She expected to meet Mr. Eames at the lake. He did not come, and as the family were on the verge of leaving for thej East, itis sup- posed that the disappointment so preyed upon her that she sought a watery grave to end ber grief at once. She was given to moody spells and fits of melancholy, and every means was emploved by her parents and friends to raise the gloom that seemed to have sett'ed upon her. Her father, Dr. Walker, is a pronounced spiritualist, and entertains peculiar views on many other subjects. Six or seven years avyoason of the familv feil violently in love with a domestic, and the family en- tered objections to the love match. Soon after bis body was fund ins pond in the suburbs, he baving committed suicide. There is NOW living a young son, who Is said to have attempted hia own life. ‘The intimate friends of the familvinthis citv a!l entertain the iden that Miss Walker committed suicide, caused hy disappotutment. The family must also think so, as they have ordered a burial casket, although the Jady has not yet been foned. On the otber hand, there are as many people who waintain that itis a well- pianned elopement. A strange man, said to be a forbidden tover, bas been hovering in ihe vicinity of the Harrow House, at Minne- tonka, where the Walker family were stop- ping, though his identity has not been estab- lished. There are also footsteps in the sand leadiog from tbe beach to a log, and on the beach are: the marks of the keels. of two differeut row-bpoats«, one of which eurresponds 10 Miss Walker’s boat. Her friends think that she might bave run away in this manner, as she was of a determined disposition, To offset this theory, however, . is tne = faci that no one knows of any young man with Whom she has been intimate. It is barely possible that she has formed an attach- ment at the Jake, but no one here teems to know anything about the young man, and she wasin constant com- munication with her St. Louis friends. On tbe contrary, she advised Mr. Eames, by tete- graph, on last friday, thatshe was going east witb the family onthe 22d inst., unless he came tothelake. ‘Taken all in ail, the elone- ment theory will hardly hold. The general belicf is that it is a case of suicide, caused by temporary disappoiotment at not meeting Mr. Kames, especialiy as the young lady was leaving the lake with no prospectof meeting him, and perhaps thought that the journey was planned to prevent the meeting. The lake Was dragged this morningin search of the body. PROBABLY SULCIDE, Speaking iast night of his relations with Miss Waikxer, Mr. Will Eames said bis opinion was that Miss Walker, to whom he was warmly attached, had committed sui- cide. ‘She was of a rather eccentric disposition, was she not?’’ “Yes; people called her eccentric. She was ofavery modest, retiring disposition, and bad very few companions; but for those few her friendship was of the verv warmest,”’ “Did she have any other gentieman paying her attention besides vourself{?”?’ **No; not thatL know of. 1 feel very cer- tain that she did nol.” ‘“*There is a rumor at Minnetonka that she has eloped.” “IT do not think so. If she wanted to marry a young manto Whom her parents objected, she would not besitate to doso, But she did not have anyintimate male acquaintance at Minnetonka that Lamaware of, though, as she was up there three seasons In succession, she may have had one without my know!- edge. Stilt! do not believe that to be the case. If she has disappeared she has com- mitted suictde, | think, and 1 bave many rea- sons for believing so, but Lado not wish to go into her private life until lL have more assur- ance of her having disappeared than ] now have. I do not think she has disappeared, however, as before she went away L told her that 1 would probably visit Minnetonka this season and received a teie- *gram from her last week in which she stated that she was to go East with her father on Thursday night uniess [T was coming up to the lake, in which event, I inferred from her telegram, she would remain. I thiak sie has gone Easat.”’ “But herfatber has not, and she would not go without telling her parents?” “Yes, she would. Shets just of the dis- position to do it.’’ WHAT MR. HODEGS THINKS. Mr. W. R. Hodges who isan intimate friend of the Eames and Walker families, was seen at the residence of Dr. Eames, No. 2920 Washington avenue, this morning. Mr. Wii! Eames, the young gentlemanto whom Miss Elia Walkeris reported to be engaged, is overwhelmed by. the sad intelligence which eng here from Minnetonka late last night. “Have you heard anything further from Minnetonka this morning?” was the report - er’s inquiry addressed to Mr. Hodges. “No, sir,” was the reply. **Does Mr. Eames believe that Miss Walker committed suicide?’’ ‘*Yes. Her friends cannot help believing it. The young lady was of a most peculiar temperament. I have knowa her for a great many years and am not at all surprised at the news of her taking ber ownlife. Her disposition was exceedingly morbid. Last year and ever since Miss Walker has been in . er) \> society, her father and friends aid everything ie thelt power to make her happy and cheer- ful. They had regular Saturday evening re- ceptions and surrounded her with youthful society at all possible times, but it was to no purpose. Nine times in ten she would decline to make one at the parties at her father’s house.” “To what do ber i attribute her mor- bid tendency of mind?” “Teo inherited causes, and she is thought to bave been‘’suffering from a female complaint for several vears past.”’ “Did sbe inherit her morbid disposition from her father?” “By no means. The morning papers state that Dr. Walker is a spiritualist, and attempt to explain bis daughter’s disposition by say- ing that his views on that subject had much to do with it. That is ,a sad mistake. Such a theory assumes that a spiritualist is necessarily eccentric in mind. On the con- trary Dr. Waiker’s is one of the clearest and most logical minds in the country. His scientific attainments are of the highest order, and in every relation of life he gives the best evidence of a well-regulated mind.’’ “Ig it possible that Miss Walker eloped from her family at Minnetonka?” “IT do not think it is. Miss Walker’s aver- sion to the society of gentlemen was one of the singular traits of her character. Wiil. Eames is the only gentleman for whom she ever evinced the slightest partiality. Besides, even if there’ had been anotber claimant to her hand, she would not have met with any serious op- position to her preference on the part of her parents ?”? “Then you think she made way with ber- seif??? “Yessir: and I should not have been as- tonished to have beard she had done $0 at any time for several years past.’’ a Dr. Eames was seen at bis residence, No. 2930 Washington avenue, at 3 o’clock this af- ternoon, and stated that no tidings had been received to-day, although he had been mo- mentarily expecting inoformation from the people at the lake. THE WINDSOR WORRY. Ed. P. Barrett Before the Referee To- Day—lIncreased Bond Asked For. Referee Ryan sat this morning again in the Windsor Hotel case. The witness-stand was occupied by Ed. P. Barrett, one of the de- fendants, who acted as manager of the hotel and was largely interested in the property.

Krum, representing the Livingstons, touching his connection with the hotel management and the transactions, including the sale atthe Court House and purchase of the property by Theodore Washburn. All the ailegations of the fraud entered by the Livipgstons were made the basis‘ of inquiry, and in cross-examination Judge Wm. C. Jones, who represents Mr. Barrett in this suit, re- viewed the whole ground bearing upon the matters referred. eliciting from the witness a denial of any fraud or Collusion among the parties in interest, or any fraud upon the hotel company in the management of the business.

Engelke and other defendants, will ap- ply (o-morrow morning in court for an in- crease in the amount of the injunction bond furnished by Mr. Livingston and for substitution of names upon the bond.

RESCUED FROM RUIN. A Denver Maiden Taken From a Dis- reputable House ———— In This City and Returned Home With Her Father. é On last Thursday, the oldest daughter of Mr. George W. Hill, of Denver, Colorado, mysteriously disappeared from her home in that city. Supposing she was visiting a friend her parents paid no attention to the matter until twelve hours, valuable time was lost, when it was discovered that the girl had signified to a confident her intention of run- ning away from home. The Denver authori- ties were notified and the Rocky Mountain Detective Agency called on tojfind the girl but no trace was discovered. Another chapter of the story which was supposed would re- sult like the Lou Watkins’ tnystery opened in St. Louis last Monday a week ago. Early in the morning a pleasant faced young girl rang the bell of Lena Shield’s house, No. 14 North Ninth street, and made apoviication for ad- mission. Miss Shields questioned ber closely. The girls face bore no trace of dissipation, while her manner was extremely demure. Her oniy ba. gage consisted of a small satchel! which she carried in her hand. She said she was nineteen years of age and at her own | request was given 4 room in the house. She told the inmates that sbe was from Qnio, but , afterwards confessed to one of the giris that she had only recentiy left her home in the West. ity, and assumed the name Flora Met- calfe, by which she was known, Her arrival became noised about among the police and some of the frequeaters of the place. A few days ago Private Detective Stiles received a description of the girl, and st once located her and telegraphed Mr. Hill, who arrived at the Lindel! iast night. De- tectives Heonessy aud Herbert, of the reguiar furce arrested the girl last night while she entertaining a host of new admirers, She was taken tothe Four Courts and locked up. When the officers and their fair prisoner started down to the hold-over she demanded to Know on what charge they intended detain- ing her as she, Was of lawful age. She was toid that the police intended to hold her for her father, who proposed taking her back to Denver, but if she wanted to be exact in the proceeding they would hold her on a charge of being an inmate of a disreputable house. The police made a showing of keeping the case quiet. Detective Watkins displayed very littie sbrewduess in covering up the case, the details of which were made public by biundering management. This afternoon the unhappy father called at the Four Courts in a hack and started home with his wayward daughter. Mr. Hill is a prominent citizen of Deiver, and his family one of its best. This daughter was never deprived of the enjoyment of company of her own age, and if the reason for her straving into the sofier paths of pleasure is known he has determined to keep it a secret.

The great monopolists are all against him. The Presi- dent and the machine are against him. Therefore it is hardly necessary to add that the Republican party is against him. Gov. CORNELL should now settle his **blind-pool”’ account with Jay GOULD, join the Anti- Monopolists and help elect Col. FRED. CONK- LING in order to get ever With ROSCOE. RAILROAD MANNERS. It is one of our many American boasts that a woman can travel alone from one end of the country to another secure from all molesta- tion. As a matter of actual fact, it is true that a great many women bave done so, and that there is a very general disposition to ex- tend to unprotected women all necessary kindness, attention and protection. But the claim, as a universal one, is qualified by the fact that there is a considerable class of women too, who are otherwise compara- tively inoffensive persons, very great nui- sances whenever they become travelers. There is something about the conditions of traveling that brings out all the latent selfish- ness and hoggishness of human obature. From the moment such persons approach d railroad ticket ofliceto the time when they emerge from the station atthe other end of the line, their mottois, *“‘Every man for himselé and the devil take the hindmost.”*At the hands of such people the “unprotected female” is as liable to rudeness, imposition and negleci asisthe modest, unassuming man whois content to take his own share of what com- fort may be. provided for travelers and to get the fair, reasonable worth of his money and no more. This class of super-selfish people, who re- gard the public railway train as their private, individual property, and who are so disagree- ably familiar on our lines of American travel), is by no means peculiar to this country. Its great characteristic being an intense selfish- ness, it is naturally to be found wherever in- lense selfishness forms an element of society —that isto say, everywhere. England, itis scarcely necessary to say, supplies as abundant illustrations of bad railway man- ners as can be found anywhere in the wor'd. An observant writerinthe London Telegraph, discussing this question, says: “Far too prevalent is the doctrine that stage carriages and railway trains are made for the sole ecmfort of each individual, and not for the common enjoyment of the many. Travelers by rail are special- ly liable to continual annovance' from those who are aynparently too blind to see the disagreeable effects of their own determined selfishness. The whole of the compartment is considered to belong to such a person from the moment he has purchased his ticket. He is inclined to take half-a dozen seats at least, though he has only paid for one; all the cushions on starting for a journey are strewn with miscellaneous articles to deceive others into the belief thatthe seats bave been taken, whereas itis atrick and no more, and one very often fatal to the comfort of late arrivals on the platform. Then comes the window other insists upon its being closed, the lover of fresb, pure air having as a rule secured a position with his back to the engine, and out of the wind, while his miser- able companion is exposed to the full power of the cutting biast and to immediate danger of neuralgic pains. Instead of using the netting provided overhead for small parcels, or thrusting 4 small portmanteau under bis seat, the selfish traveler often strews the floor of the carriage with packages, and if any one happens to getin at an intermediate station regards his presence ae a persona! annoyance. The error is entirely on the part of the first comer, who makes himself com- fortable and does not care what happens to any one else; but let a stranger enter the do, and he is met with scowls sim- ply because room has to be made and the confusion lessened that never ought to have been created. A groan of impatience or a snort of irritation shows but too-clearly the unwarrantable attitude of the essentially selfish man.” We do not practice exactly the same forms of monopolizing railway facilities in this country that are here described, and ment system of the English roads. But there is a great deal too much of the same surly, upaccommodating spirit, that scowls | at the timid passenger seeking a seat, and often drives him or her along from bench to bench, until there is nothing left but the close company of the red-hot stove or the blasts of cold from the door whenever itisopened. Weareal! familiar with. the | rai'way iout who sprawis bimself out over | four seats, pretending to be asteep and ap- pearing to be intoxicated, and with the snappish woman entrenched among her bundles and bags and bridling and fumbling over the necessity of compressing herself within the space she has paid for, entirely unconscious that the severest trial falls upon the person who has to sit beside her. {t is a lamentabie fact that so mapy men and wo- men who pass for tolerably amiable and courteous people at home and in their ordi- nary walks of life become boors and terma- ganis whenever they wisnto secure some special and selfish advantages ona railway: train. They show off their ill-manners at every opportunity. They are uncivil to their fellow passengers; they are petulant and ex- acting towards the railway official; they are impatient at the ticket-office and baggage- room, greedy and eager at their railway meals, horribly unpleasant in some way or another, all the time. When the unprotected female falls in with this style of feilow-trav- eler she loses faith in the old legend about the ability of her sex to go roaming over the thatthere are people who look upon her as baving no rights that they are bound to re- spect, and were it not that there are generally some gentlemen in every car, however small their proportion may sometimes chance to be, she would fare very much worse than she does. A good deal of the boorishness and thoughtless selfishness that exhibit them- selves on our railway trains might be cured if there were & more genera, quiet and firm assertion of personal rights on the part of passengers. The large class of people. who generally surrender their rights rather than “have a row’’ over them has much to answer for in the encour- agement of bad manners on railroad trains. Bad-mannered people become and continue so, toa large extent, because they get no les- country without an escort. She finds out |. lift the occupant of the White House inte the one goes from Washington City the more pro- found is the respect in which the President is hela by people who know naothing about daily contact with alleged great men. If the President would mingle more with the yeo- manry, keeping away from the fashionabie circles, the better it would be for the Repub- lic. Heshould attend social conventions in ali parts of the country, shouid assist at corner-stone layings, exhibit himself. at fairs and occasionally go toa circus. He might by this process wear off some of the divinity that is supposed to hedge the biggest official in the land, but in the process the people would learn that the President was only a common sort of a mortal and the effect would be wholesome. In a simple Republic there should be no adulation—no worship of pub- lic servants—nothing but decent respect. ————— FROM all accounts the big Exposition at Denver is not the success that it was ex- pected to be. In fact, considering the scope of the undertaking, it may be set down as a failure. A splendid building was provided for the show, and it was filled with mining machinery and precious metals gouged from Colorado hillsides. A more magnificent array of ores was never seen in this country, but stamp mills and wasbers and chunks of argentiferous quartz are not curiosities to Colorado people, and the exhibition seems to have lost its interest for the indigenous population. Denver is too far removed to attract crowds of visitors from the East, and so the managers of the Exposition will prob- ably be compelled to face a heavy loss. But they havea good building for show purposes and aftera few more years of development they may be able to realize on it. WHEN the English bull-dogs, who are sonsin good manners.

For their own sakes and for the sake of the public generally, travel- ers who are annoyed or imposed upon by bad railway manners of any kind should claim their rights even at the expense ofa lit- tle temporary unpleasantness. A well-taucht lesson, whether to a passenger or an official, ig never thrown away. n IT is estimated that the coming dramatic season will empty upon the American people not lessthan twenty-five new plays written by ambitious American playwrights. Some of these intellectual fruit cakes may last through the season, but the vrobabilities are that the majority of them will be found to be quite mouldy and unpalatable before the end of the first month. Of the men who think that they havea call to write for the stage, probably not more than one in a thousand has genius enough to steal or formulate a drama iwhich couples novelty of plat with humor or emotion sufficient to interest the theater-going public. The American play, with its vulgar old politician, its big, heavy- bearded miner who wears ared shirt and employs a dialect known only to the planta- tion negro, is being crowded somewhat into the background by the flimsy dramain which a pert, ignorant and frisky young lady begins her career amid calico rags and vice and works her way up-to silk dresses and aristocratic belongings. These plays are to be variously presented under such attractive titles as ‘‘Zip’”? and “Chispa” and **Clip” and ‘*Miggles,’’ and all sorts of siangy nick- names. As they are only vehicies through which certain spirited actresses display their agility in dancing, picking the banjo and imitating a degree of tom-boy hilariousness never seen outside of an asylum forthe in- sane, itis likely that they will be classed with the ephemera. The partial failure of the New York dramatic season last year was Of course his presence there is a rare treat a by simplicity and unostentation. thought to be due tothetime and money spent by managers in bringing out and | de- veloping home-made plays. Still our coun- trv is big enovch and old enough to have its own dramatic school, and we think that our American playwrights should be properly encouraged. Their work may be trashy now, but some of these days we will have types of character outside the miner, the mountain- eer, the gambler and the negro, and then the experience of our present breod of; play- writers wil! pass for sometaing. eee REV. JOHN MILUM, 8 missionary, tells the. London News a story showing how etong the tender passion isin the savage breast. OGUDIPE, one ofthe African chief, in the neighborhood of the Gold Coast, had, it seems, a regiment of wives. He indulged inthesport of killing them on very slight provocations and in sucha wholesale way that he had to keep a multitude of them on hand so that he might not miss a score or so occasionally and become lonesome and mel- ancholy over bis loss. But he was go tender- ly attached to Owopk, his favorite wife, that he could not kill her for an act of infidelity. He could not find itin his heart to discipline ner more severely than by cutting off her nose at one time, her ears at another and finally her eyelids. Even afterhe had dis- figured her thus and compelled her to sleep with her eyes open, he always kept her near him and would not trust ber mutilated peau- ty out of sight. This is an affecting illustration of the strength and enduring nature ofa pn ne ne PRESIDENT ARTHUR is Visiting at New- port, the aristocratic Eastern watering-place. for the chronic dawdlers andidiers, It is an excellent idea for the President to move among the people during the summer vaca- tion, provided his goings and comings are trict. liche Post combined, got one vote in the Re- trotting around in Egypt in the interest of a few Threadneedle street u-urers and bond- holders, feit that the occupation of the Suez Canal was a military necessity, they wiped out all existing treaties and walked over and helped themselves. It was ARABI PASHA, a circumcised dog and barbarian, who respect- ed the neutrality of the canal. Being a “rebel,” he might haveignored the solemn pledges of Egypt to keep the canal sacred to ail nations, and he might have eut arid de- stroyed the great work before the sluggish soldiers in the English barracks had com- menced to pack their knapsacks. He did nothing of the kind and his honorable con- duct will soon cost him his army if not his head. THERE isagreat deal cf talk about the stagnation everywhere visible under Moham- medan rule, but it should be remembered that the wavé of progress swept over all that region on its way westward long ago, and that Christian courtries like Spain, for in- stance, have since gone into a state of stag- nation or decline us well as the Ottoman em- pire. Looking at the condition of Ireland, we cannot find in it any very dazzling assur- ance thatthe Egyptians wiil become happier and more prosperous under the sway of an English and Christian civilization than they have been under Islam. —_- ——— se SOMETHING strange has happened.

CONSTANT READER.—The formal opening of the St. Louis Bridge took piace July 4, 1874. St. Louis Money Snarks, ST. Louis, August 22, 1882, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: One of our clergymen found a few days since a poor family that, to bury two children, had mortgaged its household goods to Messrs. Rascal & Boreas at (would you believe it?) the outrageous usury of ten per cent a month, or 120 per centa year! Just think of a land shark grasping $4 interest per month where the law allows him only twenty-seven cents! It may not be generally Known that interest above eight per cent a year cannot be legally collect- ed, evenif the poor victim has been foreed to promise more, except that where parties pay a pawn-broker’s license, they are permit- ted tocharge five per cent a month on snmes under $20, but only three per cent a month on sums loaned over $20. Six oreight per cent a year on chattel mortgages would pay a lender; and a large manufacturer tells ne that no bor. rower can pay Over eight per cent and live. Surely there are persons here as elsewhere, willing to loan to the poor at legal interest, if not to lend them without any increase. (Lev. XXXV :37.) To squeeze a high interest from & poor person -mnuet discourage bim and break him down and drive him to vagrancy, beegary, theft, intemper.- ance, murder and every sin lessen the work- ine force ot the community while increasing its crime. I wouid liketo say to those poor victims who have,been forced to Day an exorbitant in terest, that when they have paid by instal! ment, or otherwi the principal and lawful interest, they can Jhave back tvueir notes and mortgages. Let them offer that sum in the presence of a witness (or with the assistance of a benevolent and influcntial lawyer, as this clergyman did) and preve it.

The Eecentricities of a Man of Marked Ability and Education. Frow tle Miiwaukee Evening Wisconsin. twenty or thirty years ago Dr. Gilbert Wright was one of the best known and highly respected physicians in Wisconsin. For many wears be was president of the Milwaukee County Medical Society, and bis practice ex- tep dc d pretty much over the southern half of the State, and his reputation over the entire Northwest. To-day Dr. Guibert Wright is ving a bermit’s life in a little, filthy house on the outskirts of Waukesha, where for home years past he has managed to eke out a miserable existence, and has with difficulty kept body and soul together. Hearing of the siuvular case & reporter visited Waukesha ye-terday for the purpose of looking up the matter, and nad no difficulty in finding Dr. Wrighv’s little house, which 18 located on ibe Western oulskirts of the village, a few hundred yards south of the St. Poul depot. The house is a one-story, one- oom, umble down affair,about 12x16 feet in sige, and War origivally part ofa town resi- jepee, DUL Was Cust off to admit of remodel- ing some Years ago. Charitably disposed yipagers moved the house to where it now stardsand presented ittothbe unfortunate oid map, Who has succeeded in barricading it wito filth and transfering the littie shanty ‘nto a veritable castle. The ground on which i) stands is a narrow strip of mar-h,running parale! with the St. Paul railroad, The re- porter found Dr. Gilbert, whois an anti- quated, little dried-up looking old man, sit- ingonalotofrubbish in the center of his den. Hie explained that he was very much agitated on account of a recent attack on bis residence by a ‘number of bad bovs, and pointed toa nalf-dozen bricks a d rocks scattered about the room, that bad e que erashing through the windows on'y a ‘ow tmninutes before. Ue said the village volfhesters delighted in making bim the butt- end of their ridicule, always yelling, “Old Doc Wright, you old bum,” whenever he «) wed bimself on the streets,and it was a simple impossibility to get any of the village officers to protect him. The windows and -yen the walls in several places had been lit- eraliv riddied with rocks, burled against the house by the village gaming. The old men relaied a sad and sorrowful story. He grad- uated at Fairfield Medical Coliege, New York, in 1834, and eame to Wisconsin in 1839. The late Dr. E. B. Woicott, of this city, Was one of Lis clussmates, and they were always warm friends. Prof. J. i. Beck, the auihor of standard medicil jurisprudence, still a medi- * on eal tex!-Dbook, Was one oi his professors. At one time he owned tbirtieen hundred acres of land in Wisconsin and bad large rea! estate possessions where Waukesha now stands. He erected the third house in Wau- kesha. Dr. Wright tock an active partin pio- neer polices, and H. N. Wells and he were thie delegates from Milwaukee county,in Terri- toria! days, to the convention at Madison that nominated ilenry Dodge for Congress. That. was before Waukesha cCouoty was siiced off rom Milwaukee county. He was largely in- erested in the development of Waukesha, vhere he made his home in early times, and subseribed liberally to the stock of the first railroad that reached that place. He said that he Was taken ill many years ago with a mala- rialfever, and Dr. Wolcott visitea bim every other day, riding out of this city on borse- back. De. Wolcott Was a great sporteman in those days, he said,and he would always bring his rifle alone with bim. Very fre- qucatly be would kill a deer on his return, tic it to his horse’staul and go jogging home is unconcerned With the strange appendage as though it was lLothing out of the way. bere were only four physicians in Milwau- ce im those davs—almost forty years ago— and they were Dra. Wolcott, Hewitt, Castle- ton and Proudfit. Away back in the fifties he was overtaken by domestic troubles, and be dates his down- fall from about that time. He discovered, he said, that his wife, who was the daughter of one of the most prominent men inthe State, sjeadine member of the Constitutional Con- vention, Was untrue to him, and they§ sepa. raied. “he sued for divorce, and, as he did f ii | ‘ | , not wich to seandalize her, he made no de- jense, and it was granted.

He begs occasionally, and. picking up scraps ef bone about sianghter-houses gud other places, carries them to his den, where he does his own cooking. The room he livesinis probabiy the filthiest, foulest holetiiat a human being ever occupied in this section of country. His bed is a pile of dirty, bad-smelling rags, tumbled together inonecotner. Tnere isn’t a piece of furni- turein the room,. Old bafrels, boxes, kegs, cast-off stoves, battered tin pans, and cast-off stuffcenerailyare piled about the room in promiscnous heaps.

Ail efforts to get him into the poor- house bave failed. Very recently he was run over by &@ Wagon and was quite seriously injured. The county supervisors had him rymoved to the poor-house, but he soon re- covered, and is new endeavoring to have the county officials arrested on the charge of kid- haping him, in causing his removal to the county institution.

JPutting ber dimpied arm around his neck sbe kisses the rosebud mouth and then seats herself by his side, “Do you love me to-day as much as you did last Thursdav?” she asks, while the brown eyes sparkle with merriment. But back of the laughing lovk there is a tender, loving, I-must-uot-iet-him-get-away expres- sion that tells how she worskips this man, “Yea, sweetheart,” replied George, *‘I love you more every day of my life, for you do not sing a8 much as you used to.?’ What a Heavy Sea Did. From the Vortland Oregonian, In crossing the San Francisco bar last Thursday the steamship O:;egon shipped a heavy sea and tw» passengers in the steerage became insane through the frizht occasioned by the occurrence, One of thein, Mrs. Bridge; O’Rourke, was on the way to Oregon to join ber husband, James O'Rourke, who she gays is a painter tiving in this city. When the steamer arrived sue Was quite violent, but when taken in custody by the police became more rational and Was sent to st. Vincent’s Hospital with her three cnildren, all of whom aretoo small to understand tbe calamity which bas befallen their mother. During the day, at the hospital, her mania again became strong and it was feared she might do some damage to herself. The police were again notified of her condition, andin the evening she was brought back to the station and placed in the women’s cell. Since ber arrival there she has never ceased to stand by the door, crying and talking to her:elf. At times she speans louder, and ber delusion is that her husband is just outside the dvor and wil! not listen to her entreaties to set beF free. The police have made in- quiries as to the Whereabouts of ber husband, but as yet have beeu unable to find him. Her children remain at the hospital, where they will be taken care of for the present. The other passenger who lost bis reason was E, Tempie, a man of middle age, who came from Nebraska, with his wife and three children, the eldest agirl of 14 years. His mania is narmiess, being an entire lack of all reason- ing power. A New Electric Device. from the Cincinnati Commercial. A number of Cincinnati capitalists are about engaging inan enterprise Which will drive the average cracksman to despair, and possibly cause him to turn from his evi] ways and become, in the words of Jerry Cruncher, ‘Sa honest tradesman.’”? The enterprise con- sistsof the formation of a company forthe introduction of an electric invention, by which ali the gas in any building may be ig- nited by simply pushing an electric button, The combination can be 80 adjusted that at the same time any number of ‘‘cow-bells’’ arranged in various rooms can be set going. This iast isa thoughtful! provision,as it warns the inmates of the presence of midnight vis- itors, and affords them opportunity to con- ceal themseives and avoid any little unpleas- antness that might ensue should they meet the aforesaid M. V. The machinecan be con- nected by wires with all the windows and doors in a bouse, so that should the former be raised or the latter be opened, instantane- ous and startling results will follow. The apparatus was invented, perfected and first used in Boston. Since that time companies have been formed in many Western cities. A Heroine.

Hiorrible Execution of an Arab Mur- Gerer in Alexandcta. Alexancria Letter to tee New York Heraid, A> I was driviog this morning to the Ras- el-rin Palace l met Major French, of the Royal Marines, and about thirty hevptian policemen, each witha biue ribbon tied shout ‘be left arm asa signa of loyaliv to the Khe- dive. Bebind these policemen were tpree Egvptians bandcuffed and being led along by ropes tied around their necks. ‘Thev wore vothing but long blue gowns—the galtbich— and the middie Exyptian strong!y resem)ied Barabbas us represented in the Ober-Amwmer- gau Passion Play. Behind the three Eyyp- tians Was a Carriage containing a physiclan— Dr. Londinski—and three attendants. I told the driver of wy carriage to follow the pro- cession in order tosee an Egyptian execution, and also tosee howthbe Arab population of Alexandria would behave when they saw one of their brethren shot by Egyptian soldiers at the dictation ofan English subvaitern. The procession passed through all the streets of Alexandria, and before we bad proceeded a quarter of amiie we were foi- jowed by about 600 Arabs. Inthe Rue des Squrs—where the famous massacre of Kuropeans commenced last month, and where the principal malefacvor at the head of our procession was proved by the Mixed Police T:ibunal to have murdered at least three Eurcpeans—we made ashort balt. Pro- ceediug again tothe Place des Convers, and marching through the Boulevard de Ramien, we passed through the Exvsterp gaie, and ar- rived at Pompey’s Pillar, where anotber short halt was made. We then marched through the small Arab village of Carmoos, and «ar- riving at a@ hollow among tie Roman cata- combs we found a bewly made grave. The principal malefactor—the nian who resem- bled Barabbas—was then blindfolded and forced to stand at the end of the grave that bad been dug for him. At tne English subaltern’s direction five Ezyp'tian gen- darmes advanced to within ten paces of the man condemned to death. The other two criminals, who had been convicted of stealing, were made to stand facingthe grave and so ‘hat they couid best appreciaie the example that Was about to be offered them. The tive Egyptian gendarmes leveled their Reming- ton rifles at the man sentenced to death. But at the command “Fire!’ from their sergeant the bammers of their rifles simply clicked upon the cartridges, which turned out to be danp and useless. After a delay of five min- utee—which must have seemed iike five hours to the malefactor—new cartridges were obtained, and the five gendarmes again levelled their rifles—but with the same re- sult. The cartridges turned out to be spoiled. New cartridges were then dis- tributed. The command ‘‘Fire!” was a tnird time given. Aud for the third time there was only a click in the pan, and the wretched malefactor still stood at the bead of his grave trembling with suspense. New cartridges were then obtained from the magazine—about a mile distant—and now for the fourth time the tive Egyptian gendarmes advanced, aimed their rifles at the unfortunate devil, and, at the command “‘Fire!’’ a rattling report was heard, aud the convict fell into his grave. The doctor stepped forward and found that he bad only been hit by two bullets—one tearing through his cheek and the other making a hole in his leg. The man was now pulled out of his grave and propped up 80 that be could beagainshovat., In the mean- time he begged and implored for somebody to come and run a bayonet through his heart. The five Eyyptian gendarmes, however, again advanced, this time within about eight paces of their target, and for the fifth time the command was given to fire. The result of this fusilade wasthat he was rid- died with bullets, not one of which, how- ever, had struck him in a vital spot, and the man was still writhing in the dust, covered with streams of blood. The sergeant of gendarmes then came forward, put the muz- zie of his rifle tothe poor wretch’sear, pulled the trigger, and, the cartridge happening to be a good one, the man’s head was biown to pieces. Just asthe remains of the convict were being buried a man quite near me shouted in Arabic, “Now is the time to kill more Christians!” Looking around me 1 found that besides three English officers, a few pewspaper correspondents and some dozen Huropean spectators the whole assem- bly, of perhaps at ousand persons, were all Arabs. There wasno English post within the end ofa pierto rescue from drowning little Jessie Renton, her playmate. Little Jessie came to the surface unconscious and was sinking forthe third time, When she was grasped by her brave young friend and borne to a boatitwenty feet away: After seeing the half-drowned girl safe inthe arms of her older brother, Miss Fannie swam after her slipper, which had dropped from her foot as she dived from the wharf and which was bob- bing up and down on the water some distance out in the stream. The praciical-minded swimmer said afterward thatit was a new slipper and she didn’t want it lost, at the same time expressing childish surprise that anyfone should praise her for saving little Jessie.

From the Reno (Ney.) Gazette. His Majesty Winnemucca MDLY., King of ail the Piutes, was recently married to a Princess of his tribe. Buena Vista John, a trusted member of Winnemneca’s Cabinet, telis the Silver State that the royal consort is past the middle age and weighs all the same as four sacks of flour. Winnemucca, who traces his lineage acc »rding to Pinte tradition from the time when the Humboldt valley wasalake, is said tobe the1.555th monareh of his line. He has children past the prime of life, and the o'd fellow takes a new wife to provide for his necessities in his old age. The Piule marriage ceremony is a very aimp!'e af- fair. ‘Ihe chosen bride retires to ber wickup at an appointed time and huddles in a corner. If she does not like the bridegroom she gets up and runs away when he enters the wick- up, but if he fs the man of her choice remains and becumes his stave for life. The oid King will bave an easier time than has been his lot for vears past, as the Queen wili have to rustle grub for the sed mouarch. An Enterprisiug Individual. Washingion Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. A party at Boody, Ill., has been sending out circulars to farmers, offering for sale a new varitey of wheat so suverior in quaiity that he is willing to trust the farmers until they have sown and garnered the grain, and then, if it does not yield one-third more than other kinds of wheat, heasks no pav. In car- rying out this benevolent scheme he finds it necessary to call uponjbis beneficiaries to send by mail $1 to prepay the express charges on the large bags of seed wheat. The $1 has in many cases been sent, but pO wheat came, and victims have complained to the Post-cttice Department, wnich can do nothing but direct the retun to senders of all money orders and registered letters, having no power to inter- fere with bis ordinary sealed letters. After the transaction of a brisk business at Boody, Piy, finding it was getting hot there, migrated to Ramsey, Llil., where the same orders to the Postmaster have been sent. FASHION NOTES: The newest color for English “dust cloaks” oe traveling and morning shopping is claret red. India cashmere makes the most refined and simple suit fortraveling and for early au- tumno. Velvet flowers on repped silk will be the most elegant brocades of the autumn and winter gvods, Sulphur-colored lace trims pale-blue cos- tumes, and flax-gray lace trims green dresses effectively. Flowered muslin squares, eriginally used for the neck, now furnish trimming for rough-and-ready hate of straw to be worn in the country. Instead of the combinations of two or three fabrics, itis announced that a single fabric for the entire dress will be the prevalent au- tumn fashion. Levantine, satin de Lyons, satin duchesse, satin merveiileux and heavy repped faille are the silk fabrics that will be worn for autumn and winter dresses. The most tasteful bonnet for midsummer has a crown of colored English crape drawn on wires, with a brim of mignonettes, lilacs, or other small flowers. Watteau drapery in the form of a very pread double box pleat is added to the sim- plest as Well as the most elaborate toilets of ladies Of wsthetic tastes. The present season is called a cotton sea- son, and pow, by way of going from one ex- treme to the other, itis announced that the next will be a velvet season.

New York Letter to Troy Times. Organists and choirs are hired by the year, and the latter usua!ly begins in Msy. During the present season of closing, however, a number of improvements will be made, and when the churches reopen more than one congregation wili be gratified by the change. Some churches, however, are hardly holding their own in this important speciaity, There was a time, for instance, when St. Stephen’s ranked ail other Roman Catholic churches in music, but such ig not the case at present, The fact is St. Stepben’s is in debt, and economy has been necessary. The organist has been reduced to $800, and other items pave been cut down, but of course this can only be done at the expense of musical excellence. Churches are gen- erally disposed to economize in music, and each has a fixed sum appropriated to this purpose, which is often too smal to e:- courage a high order of excellence, St. Thomas, which is now the most elite of all the Episcopal churches, is not as noted for its music as Grace, whose organist is the weil- known Prof. Warren. His distinction in the profession insures him a liberal salary ($1,500), and in addition to this he has a large number of pupils. Warren probably makea more than any other organist in the city, and his income is estimated at $8,000. He has an® assistant and aiso a well-trained choir, and the electric method enables him to play two organs at the same time, the one being in the ‘ioft”? and the other nearthe pulpit. This adds much to the fullness of that volume of music which so admirably fills the church. It is said that, crowded as the profession may be, there are not more than a score of first-class organi*ts in this city. The compe- tition, however, has reduced salaries, whose average is not more than $700a year. To this are added the feesiobiained for instruction, which vary from fifty cents to $5 per lesson. Organ teachers prefer that their pupils should be good pianists, after which they may practice on cabinet organs, and then they are placed at the churchorgan, The organist bas his additional perquisites, the fee at a funeral being generally $20, while each of the quar- tete expects $10 on the same occasion. If a solo be employed for additional effect, the fee will be the same as that of the organist. There are churches, however, where the fees are on & much more expens've ecale. India figurea cottons and foulards with a great deal of the dull India red in them are worn for seaside costumes. Metai threads—goid, silver and bronze— are woven in the new woollen siuffs import- ed for autumn. el AMUSEMENTS. UHRIG’S CAVE.

Ata meeting of the Republican City Cen- tral Committee, held last night, it was de- elared that the Republicans of St. Louis are opposed to holding a State Convention. The principal reason given was that the country woulda demand an unequivocea! deciaration on the subject of Prohibition, and the statesmen felt that at this season of the year the de- mand was unreasonable. This is another triumph for Mr. Filley. James TI. Moore, Lebanon, Mo., a member of the Republican State Central Committee, registered at the Laclede. He is here for tae purpose of attending a meeting of the com- mittee to-morrow. Mr. Moore is a firm friend of Chauncey I.

The fight will thee ore concentrate on the nomination and election o: Senators and Representatives. ‘The feeling of the country Democracy general yis that tney will unanimously oppose an agitation of the issue, but ifeverthe question reaches the ballot-box the buik of the party, especialiy the staid element, will vote for it.
