The scteutiae STREET. : A Marvelous Balloon Ascent France, | i The Largest Air-Ship Ever Used—Fitted Up with Electric Lights—A Study for Aerial Navigators, By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 30.—A special dispatch to the Herald from Paris says, a balloon ascent of more than ordinary interest and importance took place last evening from the gas-works of La Villette, in the northeast quarter of Paris. It was made un- der the auspices of the Societe Francaise de Navi- gation Aerienne. The balloon is one of the larg- est ever made. It is the property ot mt de Dion and M. Rembielinsky. With these two gen- tlemen in the car were M. Franchette and M. Du Savuelle, meteorologists, all four being scientific amateurs devoted to the science of aerostation. The capacity of the balloon is 4,000 cubic meters and its weight 320 kilogrammes, the car weighing 180 kilogrammes. The balloon and its equipment presented several novel features of great interest and value to the study of aerial navigation. The principal of these is the inven- tion of the Comte De Dion himself. The balloon which has ve quittea the earth at La Villetteisa double bailood, so to — Over the ye agg f oiled silk of which the balloon proper is made, is a covering of white calico, which ae over its upper half. From this outer covertig a long fun- nel of olled silk extends downward and confiects with a ventilating machine attached to the out- side of the car, which, by TURNING A CRANK, sends a blast of cold air out of the funnel and un- derneath the outer layer. The object of this is to place a layer of cold air between the coverings which shall preserve the gas in the balloon from being unduly influenced by the rays of the sun. It was found shortly before the bal- loon was ready to rise that the funnel was too short by two or three yards, and the Count was fortunate enough to enlist the services of two or three ladies, whose ready needles and nimble fingers soon spliced an additional length of -fun- nel, Another novelty was the method of attaeh- ing THE CAR TO THE BALLOON, the cords being arranged ina scientific system of prin ager ae enabling the weight of the car to be equally distributed around its circumferenee and keeping it in a_ perfectly horizonta, position in spite of any shifting of weight within it. In nautical parlance the car would always be trimmed. The anchor itself was another novelty, consisting of a number of formidable lookin flukes, so arranged that they could not fall to hold, or at least carch on any obstacle which they might meet. It was attached to a powerful Nawser which itself weighs 120 kilogrammes. The anchor looks as if, with the vast balloon exerting its power above it, it could ; UPROOT A FOREST or unroof a house with ease, and as a matter of fact the engineer and meteorologist,M. du Sauvelle, informed me that the anchor and cable could re- sist a wind blowing with an energy of twenty-five metres a second. The car is of extremely neat basket work, light and yet strong. lt ig comforta- bly lined with padded gray American cloth with cane seats. Over the lockers at the east end itis oblong, and there was ample room for the four aeronauts, their .scientific in- struments, laid on a wicker table, and for the hampers of provisions with which the travelers areto make good cheer betwixt earth anda heaven. Two prize carrier pigeons completed THE LIVING FREIGHT of the car. They will be released to’ bear to the instru- ‘the finest quality, and comprise a hydrometer for the measurement of the moisture or dryness of the atmesphere, a-psychrometer for measuring the tension of aqueous vapor, an anevroid barometer, and an extremely sensitive metallic thermometer. The scientific equipment of the bailoon was completed by some beautiful LITTLE ELECTRIC LIGHTS, with their complement of charged batteries, among them being 2 tiny electric bull’s-eye lantern, the rays of which might require attention. I must not forget the silver-plated speaking trumpet through which in due time a stentoriaa voice will announce to terri- fied peasants or a startled sea captain the pres- ence of the heaven descended visitors. The hour of ascending was fixed for 6:30 o’clock, but it wa fully three hours after that the great “wrigglin; serpent,” like a tube of oilskin, which had its tai in the gasometer, and its mouth in the aperture of tne balloon,breathed its last gazeous sigh and col- lapsed. The operation of inflating was watched with the greatest interest by afew friends of the aeronauts and A SMALL CROWD of spectators, mainly composed of employees of the gas-works and their families, outside the gates, and perched on the walls were some scores of LaVilletians gazing atthe busy scene within. Gradually as darkness began to set in the vast, prostrate form of the balloon began w rise from the ground and assume a familiar shape as the panting tube filled it with gas. Soon the word was given to move the car to its place beneath the balloon. Twenty sturdy fellows carried it off. The great soaring’ bag now upright was firmly held down by bags of sand attached to a knot in the stay robes by brass hooks and the car was fastened to the network and loaded. The critical mument has now arrived—the gradual loosening of the ties which confined the balloon. This op- eration was conducted under command of the Count. At THE WORD OF COMMAND the ring of men _ surrounding ‘the balloon shifted the sand bags to successive knots in the ropes’ simultaneously, and_ the balloon rose foot by foot until the net work felt the tension of the car. All the aeronauts now en- tered the car and exchanged a shake hand with their friends. It was now nearly 10 o'clock and the scene became one of intense interest and wierdness. Its arrangement was in coneentric circles; in the middle was the car with its human and scientific freight as yet resting on the earth ; next was the riug of men standing by the san bags; outside them was a silent circle of specta- tors; above all was the vast mass of the balloon, ; cag ah Se . ainst the night sky. e sand bags are now enioosed and the men grasp the edge of the car itself. The balloon is still captive. The Count or- ders the men to move a few yardsto the west- ward to give the balioon more play in rising. It isdone. iInanother moment the strong hands have let gotheir hold. Thereisa ery of “au re- voir,” and with a gentle majestic motion the bal- loon rises sWift and silent into the air. Fora few moments wecan see the flicker of the e c lights and the snow white caps. Then gradually the balloon, borne on a southwest wind, grows dim and presently Vanishes into thesky. The pigeons will bring us news from it to-morrow night, perhaps.from the Rhine. BY HIS OWN HAND Dies Senor Don Francisco Barca, Spanish Minister to the United States.

J., July 30.—Soon after noon yesterday while a Philadelphia merchant named Gleason and his brother were in bathing near the Grand Pier, the crowds of lookers were startied by acry for help. The two Gleasons were struggling in the surf about a hundred yards from the beach. One of them finally broke away from the other and strnack out for the shore. The other liftea his arms above his head and then sank from sight. Mike Bradford, who was in his store near by, heard the cries of the crowd and ran down on to the pier and threw himseif in the water, thirty feet below. He reached THE DROWNING MAN, grespes him with ene» hand and endeavored to rag him toward the beach, The man, turning npon his rescuer, sank his teeth into Bradford’s left thumb to the bone, dragging him beneath the waves. Thena struggle for life began, which was witnessed by a thousand anxious wateners. Finally Gleason ceased his struggle and Brad- ford dragged the unconscious man through the breakers to the shore, where the brave man was greeted with cheers. Gteason was, after hard work, resuscitated and taken to his home. DROWNED ON SUNDAY. A Merchant Disregards a Bathing Master's Advice’and is Drowned. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw YorxK, July 30.—Samuel Pollock of 55 Eighty-thira street, a member of the firm of Pollock & Co., dry goods merchants, Montgomery, Ala., was drowned yesterday at Long Branch. He, his wife and four children were bathing opposite the Hotel Brighton. His wife was on shore, and after leading the children out of the water, he returned alone and swam out some distance, disregarding the bathing master’s warning. Getting into a back eddy which forms a strong current for the shore, and finding himseif unable to make way against it he eried for help. Wm. Lovell, the booxk- maker, who was in the water, went to his assist- ance, . THE DROWNING MAN seized him and both wentunder. Lovell freed himself with difficulty just as Josepn Emmons, the bathing master, swam out tothem. The two seized Mr. Pollock, but could do nothing against the strong current. After struggling for some minutes both men became exhausted and were compelled to loose their holdon Mr. Pollock in order to save their own lives. Mr. Pollock sank and was e¢arried out by the current. Lovell and Emmons barely escaped drowning and were com- pletely exhausted on reaching the shore, Both sey that Mr. Pollock was dead before they left m, IMPORTED BEEF.

Several Petitions Filed in the Circuit Court To-Day. A petition for divorce was filed in the Circult Clerk’s office to-day on behalf of Joseph Peters and against Caroline Peters. The parties were married in Chicago on March 26, 1857, and eon- tinued to live together until July 10, 1883. The petition alleges that the defendant has been guilty of habitual drunkenness and has applied to plaintiff wile and profane language, By réa- son of which plaintilt alleges that bis position has vecome inutulerable. Cuarles Becker's attorney, Mr. 8. N, Sapp, to- day filed a petition for uiverce in behalf of his client against Margaret Becker. The parties were married iu this city on December 2, 1873.

Manager Brown stated that everything was going on most satisfactorily. striking operator said to-day that the men were in the ' est humor possivle,and were sure of success. hie declared that there was no intention whatever of calling out the railroad men, and that such a thing would not be done, save perhaps tn the eveut that men were discharged from the railroad offices becatise they belonged to the brotherhood, in which case it would be fair Ww retaliate by call- ing out the men. . ee THE SITUATION ELSEWHERE.

RoMeE, July 30.—At half-past 9 o’clock on Saturday night the town of Casamieciola, at the foot of Mount Epomeo, near Naples, was almost totally destroyed by an earthquake. Forio and Laceeameno, neighboring towns, were greatly damaged. These towns are situated on the island af Naples. It is estymated that 3,000 people in Casamicciola perished, and that 800 others were injured. Aj half-past 9 o’clock most of the peo- ple were at the theater—-a wooden structure— whioh was literally torn open, allowing the audi- ence to escape. The Hotel Picciola Sentinella sank into the earth and buried many inmates. All the other hotels in the place were wrecked. The center of the area of the shock was the same as that of two years ago, but the radius was wider. The guound opened in many places,while in others there was no movement. The shock was accom- panied by deafening nolse. A dense cloud of dust filled the aiv. It is estimatea that there were on the island 2,000 visitors, including many wealthy Roman and Neapolitan families and sev- eral deputies taking the baths there, None of the dispatches mention any American names among the killed or wounded.. As soon as the first con- fusion resulting from the earthquake had subsided the people rushed for the sea and seized upon every boat and floating thing in their madness to es- cape. The dead are fearfully mutilated. In some cases corpses are peneuy. discernible through the ruins, but they cannet be extricated. It is surmised t: at some persons are still alive in the cellarex, The Bishop of CasamicciolA, Don Felipani cf Rome, and the Prefect of Cauliaent, are reported among the dead. Many Romans having Villas at Ischia, are known to have been lost. Among the dead are Prof. Palmer, Baron- ess Ditiseis, Commander Zapputi, tie wives and children of Signors Cecere, Sicjlini, Ali and Martano. It Is thought that the Marchioness Pacca Lawratt is among the dead. The Engst chaplain lost one child. Mr, Green and wife are among the Killed at the Hotel Picciola. At the town of Javie churches were ruiued, but no one was killed. At Serrara fifteen men were killed. Troops recovered the body ot Fiorentine, Prefectof Lassaire. Many of the injured were taken to the hospitals In Naples and are being treated there, NUMBER OF THE DEAD AND INJURED, LONDON, July 30.—A dispatch from Naples, just received, says: “lt is now stated thatthe number of persons killed by the earthquake on the Island of Ischia on Saturday night was 2,000, and the number of wounded 1,000. A SCIENTIST’S® OPINION. NAPLES, July 30.—Prof. Palmieri, the director of the Meteorological Observatory on Mount Ve- suvius, states that the disaster on the Island of Ischia on Saturday night was not due to an earth- quike, but toa subsidence of the ground. The ecenes here occasioned bv the accident are heart- rending. The hospitals are @rowded with the wounded strvivors and the dead. Houses are filled with the bodies of the victims. The bodies of several Neapolitan ladies have been recovered from the ruins. Five houses remain standing at Casumicciola, CRIES FOR HELP ean be heard coming from the ruins, The sappers are hard at work endveaoring Ww rescue persons still alive. The boats from the island are fillea with dead bodies arriving bere constantly. ' A POLICE FORCE KILLED, Many women and children were among the vic- tims of the earthquake at Ischia. Fifty wooden huts will be built immediately for the accommoda- tion of the survivors. The municipal authorities of Naples are sending relief to the island and doing all in their power to alleviate the distress of the people.» The most of the corpses recovered are so discgiored by dirt that even after they have been washed the features are unrecognizable. All the members of the police at Casamicciola are killed. A boat has arrived. from Naples coutaining the bodies of twenty-four infants. A few persons were taken from tueruins alive last evening. Eight hendred more troops went to the scene of disaster last uight. ISCHIA, oe || with the residue of the Italian volcanic islands, has been subjeet to more or less of subterranean disturbances for centuries, ever aud anon causing the old blue bay to hurl its angry billows on the curiously indented coast-line. The little island, whose area is only about 26 square miles, and whose circumference will har«l measure 19 miles, is singularly dotted with vol- canie cones. Beautifyl scenery stretches through the narrow: valleys between these cones, and a luxuriapt and almost tropical vegetation flour- ishes during many mouths of the year. It has also attracted considerable attention because of its minera! springs and sand baths, said to be among the most beneficial in Europe, and has been for ears aresort for important folks. The peculiar insular and eccentric geographical situation of the island has added much to the strong idiosyn- eracies of the inhabitants, the majority of which areeither fishermen or farmers, The voicanic outbreak of March, 1881, oveasioned a terrible loss of life.

JAMES CAREY. The Irish Informer Killed. Shot and A Fellow-Passenger Executes Vengeance on the Irish Traitor While He was on the Ship Bearing Him to Natal—Story of Carey’s Alleged Presence in Mon- treal. LOLDON, July 30.—Intelligence has just been received hefe that James Carey, th2 informer in the Phoenix Park murder cases, was shot deaa yesterday on the steamship Melrose while she was between Capetown and Port Elizabeth. The deed was committed by a fellow-passenger namea O'Donnell, O’DONNELL’S PURPOSE. O’ Donnell took passage bere by the steamship Kinfauns Castle, which left Dartmouth on the 6th for Cape Town, where she transferred her passengers who were destined to Port Elizabeth, Natal and other coast ports, to steamship Mel- rose. The report of the shooting of Carey caused intense excitement in the West End of Londén A and in the House of Commons. WHERE HE WAS SHOT. LONDON, EVENING, July 0.—Later advices about the killing ofr James Carey show he was shot while landing from the Melrose at Port Elizaveth, O’ Donnell, his siayer, is in custody. The Govern- ment had taken special and expensive measures to protect Carey. CURIOUS REPORT. = By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. MONTREAL, July 30.—There was intense ex- citement here last night when the report was pub- lished that the notorious informer, James Carey, had actually arrivedin this city from Quebec. Many treated the report asa canard, but trust- worthy people whe are well intormed about Irish affairs claim to have facts in their possession that corroborate the story. Whether the man is Carey or not, he appears to have been driven by the threats freely made against him to seek safety in the jaillast night, so closely had the Irish avengers come to his hiding place. At a iate hour last night 1t was impossible to verify the report, but itis certainly known that he has left the quarters frst selected for him. In an interview had by a World correspondent Sunday afternoon with an officer of the Dominion steamship Mon- treal, the following information was obtained. He said a number of Irish immigrants boarded the steamer at Belfast on the 13th inst. Among them were three men with tickets obtained from a Dublin agent. One was entered as Patrick O’ Neill, whose movements gave rise TO THE SUSPICION among the passengers that he was the infamous informer in the Phoenix Park murder case. O’Neill did not put in an ap- pearance when the roll of passengers was caliea ufter the steamer left Belfast, ana when he was seen by the purser the next day, he was charged with being a stowaway. The only reply he made ws to produce his ticket, which bore the name O'Neill. The others acted with such freedom that until near the end of the voyage they were not supposed to be connected with the so-called O'Neill. However, some Irishmen spotted them as coustabulary detectives, and (he officers of the ship f THINK THEY WERE, neither eaptain nor official ~ hin All three landed = at Quebee, “on the 23rd instant. taken for Carey madeno acquaintances during the voyage, but Kept aloof from all the other pas- sengers, and, instead of messing in the steerage, purchased his food froma purse filled with British sovereigns and ate in a quiet niche in the baggage room, It was obseryed that the two supposed detectives never lost sight of their man during daylight but pever approached to speak to him. The photographs here of the informer show him with afull beardand mustache, but O’ Neill, the suspect, although officers had any WAS CLEAN SHAVEN when he wenton beard and it was remarked he shaved every dy on the trip, A citizen of Mon- treai named Whelan, to whom O’ Neill was int- ed out when leaving the steamer at Point , and who had the traitor’s photograph in his k- et, assured the World’s correspondent that he recognized Carey's features at onee, notwithstand- ing the disguise of a beardless face. It is said bere that Mr. Whelan. whois in constant com- munication with MichaerDayitt and the National party in Dublin, had information, by cable of ah departure. He dec to discuss the matter, however, but it is certain that he wentto Qnebec specially TO MEFT THE STEAMER the alleged O'Neill was of. Mr. Whelan came up inthe train with hun.

Still he confirms enough to convince the public that the Sun story came from him. In the quiet and seclusion of his ranche he has probably repented him of his rashness. eS BARONIAL RIGHTS, Quite a number of the leading Republican newspapers are trying to work public opinion up to the point of deinanding legislation against Workingmen’s Leagues and for the punishment of organized strikes as offenses against society. But the most unfair arga- ment we have seen on tbat side of the ques- tion is the following from the Chicago 7ri- bune: If itisa fair proposition that the railroads as common carriers must carry for the public, it is 4 fair proposition that, the men who run the rail- roads must do without interruption the work they undertake to perform. If it isafair proposition that the telegraph companies must, at whatever inconvenience to themselves, receive and deliver the communications of the public, it is not less to be insisted upon thatthe employes, by whom alone this service to the public can be done, shall stay at their posts. The railroads and telegraph companies hold a very different relation to the public from tbat which their employes sustain. The latter, like other free citizens, are under no legal obligation to servethe public in any particular capacity. Thev are liable to mili- been conferred -on them to compen- sate them for a complete surrender of their natural and legal rights as free vendors in the labor market—especially capital. endowed with valuable franchises, confer- only on condition that certain services shall be rendered, tothe public and terminable whenever there isa failure to perform such services. Formerly, when land was held by the ten- and most dangerous doctrine. THE general sentiment of the Legislature of last winter and the vote on the Downing Bill indicates that there isa strong temper- ance feeling in this State. The good are nearly always happy when they can put a hook in the nose of the iniquitous Metro- politan leviathan. The defiant way in which some citizens treated the Sunday closing law yesterday will not have a tendency to sweeten the disposition of the’ rural temperance people toward the city. Mr. ANTHONY NIEDERWEISER, of Schnaider’s Garden, is thus reported in one of the morn- ing papers in reference to the Sunday law: I have stopped the sale of liquors and am sell- ing only beer and native wines. I am secured under the law of 1857, which guarantees us this right, and I tell you right here no Hoosiers out here in the State are going to cheat us. The city is different from the country, as you will find out. I will have four lawyers from the Saloon-keepers’ Association and one from the Brewers’, who will defend me so long as I don’t sell liquor, one from the Wholesale Liquor dealers and my own lawyer. I will first ask them for three weeks’ postponement; this will be an important case, and it will take some time to prepare the papers. Then I will ask for a jury, and as I have some- thing to say in the selection, you bet they will disagree. We will afterwards appeal to the highest court, and if our licenses are revoked we will continue to sell under United States license aud tell the city and State to go to the d—1. There is danger, if this sort of talk goes on, that Gov. CRITTENDEN, upon his return from Utah, will call the Legislature together in special session and have a Prohibition amendment to the Constitution submitted at once. Soms crank who never served in the army has shown his ignorance of the late war by writing an editorial for the Chicago News in which he says: John Morgan was nothing but a desperado of the very worst type. and his command was com- posed of the most cold-blooded bush-whackers, murderers and assassins to be found in the South. Every soldier of the war knows that John Morgan’s command was composed of half a dozen regiments regularly in the Confed- erate service and containing the very tlower of the young men of Kentucky, Alabama and Texas. Ex-Governor McCREERY was one of his men, and so was Auditor Sura of Kentucky. Thesurvivors of that command are to-day among the foremost and most re- spected citizens of the leading States and cities of the Union. They were to a re- markable degree sons of prominent families, descendants of the soldiers of the war of 1812 aud the Revolutionary war, and no com- mand of the same numbers can to-day show more men in Congress, gracing the judicial bench, or otherwise enjoying, and distin- guished by, the confidence and esteem of , “sy > = ee ae. ee » ERE ION he 6 Pe ponies aaRaatia SF —. ae ay Qe « ¥ tary service ae wa ou “pene xt ee 3,000 lives.

Mr. Dorsey, we observe, stiil clings to his metaphor. It is quite evident that his inti- macy with Bos INGERSOLL has been of great advantage to him. Tuts is unquestionably the year of calami- ties.

From the first this journal sympathized with the efforts of the tele- ; graphists to better their condition; and whilo it has tendered them some good advice, it has atno time manifested the slightest hostility. We conclude that the Herald has willfully and maliciously misrepresented the Post-DispatcH. The New York World, speaking for itself, says that the Herald “utters an unmitigated and absurd untruth.” ee ee we IT is more than probable that the Spanish Minister’s suicide was provoked by financial embarrassments. Senor BARCA lived in fine style in Washington. His wife was a wom- an of fashion and his beautiful daughter was “in society.”” They were ‘doing’ one of the seaside resorts and were preparing. to go to Europe on a pleasure excursion when the depressed diplomate blew out his brains ata New York hotel. His household fur- niture was about to be sold to raise funds to enable his beloved wife and daughter to cross the sea. The Minister’s income was limited, but he felt it his duty to keep up the style which became a man in his position with a stylish wife and a handsome daughter. He was sacrificed in the effort to keep up with the fashion procession. . Tue dead negro, CETEWAYO, is one of the examples of the blessings of English inter- ference, He was first. conquered by, the British for trying to rule Zululand in hisiown way, and then imprisoned.

You will agree with me that the bulidiug of tong lines of railroads through your State would be of great benefit to your peo- le, Very oiten the people are confident that the nds could be placed, but they know that bank- ers will not advance mouey to build railroads, and therefore they do not organize, not knowing where to go for funds. 1 will, therefore, inform you that Tam prepared to carry on the building of several long lines of railroads at a —_— and do not want any money till sections 0 twenty-five or fifty milés are built, 1 would de- sire companies to place their bonds to be cashed when twenty-five or fifty miles are completed. Yours respectfully, Y ALBERT L. RICK. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying To-Day. , By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YorK, July 30.—The World says: “Up to the present date Gov. Foster of Ohio, has not fayored the public with the name of the anony- nious gentleman who told him that Hoaély had Foster can stand the position in which he finds himself, we are yery sure that Judge Hoadly can stand it.” THE SUN. The Sun says: “Ihe heavy penalty of twenty years imprisonment anda fine of nearly $366,000, the amount of his defalcation, imposed upon ex- Treasurer PolK of Tennessee, has furnished a strong stimulus tor the attempts of his counsel to secure anew trial. Their present groundis an alleged declaration of one juryman before being drawn on the case, showing violent prejudice against the accused, and thus rendering him unfit to give a lawful verdict. Ana yet, as the decision against Polk is declared to have been instant, unanimous and unquestioning, his counsel can have little hope from another trial, unless through the introduction upon a new jury of some person as improperly prejudiced in favor of their client as the juror in question is said to have been against him. Should anew trial pe granted, the dif- ficulty of securing any jury at all would be enor-. mous, for, in order to get the late pane! of twelve, more than a thousand persons were examuned and rejected.” THE TIMES. The Times says: “One consequence of the de- moralized condition of the business of the West- ern Union Telegraph Company is just beginning to show itself, and is likely to increase in serious- ness as the days go by. Such operators as it has them are shut up in the company’s offices day and night to keep them out of the way of the se- unconscionable number ot hours in succession in the vain effort to catch up and keep up with the straggling business. Lack or exercise and relax- ation, and the constant strain of overwork is be- ginning to tell, especially on the female opera- tors. If the strike continues much longer there ts likely to be a general break down of the inade- quate force still in the service of the company.”’ THE HERALD. The Herald says: “Another step has been taken by the striking telegraphers. They have ordered the operators in the various railway of- fices to refuse to forward any Western Union dis- yatehes. This does not prdhibit them from regu- ating the arrival and departure of trains, but it closes to the public seven or eight thousand of- fices throughout the country in railway towns or villages. Both the operators and the corporations still hold firm, and meauwhile the exasperated public is left to take care of itself as best it may.” THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘It may be as well for our Democratic fellow-citizens to remember that no Presidential election has ever been decided in this country on the plea that the men in office must be sut out in order that the men out of office could aveachance. ‘Put the rascals out,’ when boiled down amounts to this: ‘It is our turn to have the office.’ For a century the people out of office have always referred to the people in office as the ‘rascals,’ and public opinion has nvariably treated that argument with deserved contempt.’ “PERSONAL POINTS. —Senator Tabor has given Denverafree drink- ing fountain, but Denver is disgusted because it doesn’t cush cocktails. —Lord Beaumont, a Roman Catholic, aad seventh in the roll of English barons,is said to be anxious to wed the California heiress, Miss Flood. —An English journa! ‘loudly proclaims that Capt.

Itis because she can writhe, flop and sigh and squirm that sne finds favor with a society apt to flop, writhe, sigh and squirm. Wuits the Queen is at Balmoral, special traips are run between Aberdeen and Ballater, and the discovery that they are not paid for by her,as has always been supposed, but by the Government, is causinga good deal of grum- bling on the part of London papers.

Hiliiard, of Georgia, thinks the Ohio Democratic platform is just per- fect, and has written a letter to say so. Two important measures are now before the Georgia Legislature—one forbidding Sunday ex- cursions and the other providing for local option as to the sale of liquor.

Nothing in history is more pleasing than the ennais of invention. The lives of great inventors might be read without a feeling of self-reproach were they not so often enveloped in unmerited obscurity and neglect, had we not so often for- gotten their services or treated them with con- tempt. Perhaps future ‘generations will be more just, and the names of Fulton. Morse, Frankiin aud Edison will be celebrated when those of tyrant profligate ministers are The ancients were more grateful than thé moderns,and thus great in- ventors were usually converted into gods. Osiris, who taught Egypt the use of the plow, the art of farming, was worshiped in the stately temples of Thebes and Memphis. Isis, his wife," discov- kings and their no longer regarded. ered wheat and barley, and was properly adored with him. Her priests abstaimed from wine and all animat food, her festival was celebrated by a gzenral illumination along the Nile, and the vener- able pair were held in high esteem by countless generations of farmers. In Greece the most discreet of virgins, Pallas Athena, taught savage sciences. Hercules, mightiest of reformers, went over the world buiiding roads and cleaning Augean stables. Bacchus invented wine, but ean scarcely be considered a reformer. Romulus softened the horrors of warfare, and inculcated upon his savage people a more than chivalric respect for the gentler sex. Aristotle celebrated the skill of a renowned baker of Athens. Athenzus gives us a list of inventors and in- ventions, but the origin of most of the arts is lost in obscurity, HISTORY, at its first authentic dawn, finds men spinning and weaving, carving rude biocks of stone into rude figures, sagen the metals and tilling the soil. Stull it is useful in a busy age to look back occasionally, and to see what were the ideas for- merly entertained on subjects that are uow famil- iar. If we do we will often find that our torefath- ers lacked nothing but a tor showing themselves as mechanically ingenious as our- selves. The seed was good but the soil was un- prepared, and thus many a great idea was lost to them and to their generation to fructify in a later day. Disraeli, in his “Curiosities of Literature,” says that the Romans were acquainted with printing, . but abstained .from using it for fear that know}- edge would become too common, and that the peo- ple. imbued with cotumon notions of science and bg would resist a government of the aristoc- y. hero, of Alexandria, invented a small sphere which was moved by steam, generated froma heated boiler, and the history of great inventions shows us that most of the great discoveries have been subject.to the commou law of alternate de- cadence and revival, sometimes sinking into neg- lect and obscurity and Agee rising into promi- nence and popularity. No wonder Solomon ex- claimed three thousand years ago “There is noth- ing new under the sun, for the thing that hath been is that which shall be, and that which is done that which shall be done.” In medicine we have progressed but litle. Acupuncture was Known to the “angesthens | the ancients Kkuew far more about anewstheres than. our plvsicians did up to t last thirty or forty years, Hahnemann ts regarde¥ as the founder of homeopathy, and yet Paracelsus taught that “like should be treated by e, since like attracts like.” Avicenna, too, was ahead of the German doctor in a fundamental principle of homeopathy, for he treated diseases by adininis- tering infinitesimal doses of medicine. Descartes killed himself from a too rigid adhberenceto the homeopathic docriue that u disease should be TREATED BY AGENTS that would produce the like symptoms. Being afflieted with a fever, he insisted on taking large and repeated doses of alcohoi, which resulied in his death. Hydropatby ts a primitive form ofimedi- cine, Augustus was cured of a* dangerous disease ly its use, avd his piysiciai, Musa. was muuifi- centiy rewarded by the Emperor, The treatment then became very puopuilai aad flourished until the death of Marcelius, who was chilled by cold water douches. With him died the system, and vow, at the end ot twenty centuries it revives, perlaps to again die alike death. In the time of Louis XIV. Yaris was devastated by a plagne presenting the same Symptoms as our cholera. Infact, the dis- ease Was Known bv the fame cholera, the word indicating its Eastern origin, for it is a compound of the Hebrew words choli, malady, and ra, de, structive. tKven the modern craze of spiritualism does not possess aby particular freshuvess. Table- turning was Known to the Egyptians, and from them passed to the Romans, who took to table- turning, or, as they calied it, tripod-turning, with such taith in its predictions that Tertuilian thun- dered ferth his anathemas against all persous who, “putting their faith in angels or demons, made goats and even tables prophecy to them.” The mode of procedure was as follows: The ta- ble was placed in a circular metallic disc, the edges of which were engraved at equal distances from one ahuther with the twenty-four letters of the alphabet. The bands of women and chil- dren were considered the, most efficacious in givin the table the required motion, and Ae rings on the tabie pointed ito a let- ter it was marked down uniil the entire prophesy was revealed. Vualens,when he con- sulted the spirits in regard to the name of the fut- ure Emperor, saw the double Greek jeiter Th and the letter e, and not doubting but that they stood for Theodorus had that individual put to death. Imagine bis disgust, atter haviuge wasted Theodorus, to find that Theodosius, whom not cue bad thought of succeeded to the empire, and thus proving the EEFICACY OF TABLE-TURNING. Passing from spiritualisin to conmon matters we find that macadamized streets, that we are dis- carding in St. Louis, were known two hundred years before the Christian era. At the same pouee the citizeus were compelled to maintain n good order a smooth sidewaik in front of their houses. Large signvoardas announced to the passers-by the business foilowed in the heuses, andin thetime of Pilatus -notices of lost and found objects were displayed in the public streets. Giadiatorial games, races, shows and theatrical enteftainments were made public by large signs that would rival our cireus posters. The walls, doors and fences were covered with advertise- ments, which seem generally to have been drawn in some bright color on a black or red ground. Plato suggested “the establishment of agencies for marriage, by means of which the qualities of each candidate for matrimony might be made known, and men thus have a better chance of procuring wives suited to thelr various characters.” In the course of centuries this idea was adop a German at Hamburg, who established an office for the trans- action Of matrimoniai affairs. Other institutions of the same kind flourished under the directory at Paris, and at present such establishments are quite common.

If requires a certain Kind of talent to pring and Keep au inven- tion before the eyes of the public, and these con- ditions are essential to success. “ST.

In the Kast, all this is Changed, and capital is quick to recognize anything wortiy of reeognition. The trouve with our inventors is that they do not recognize that there is an a, b, ¢ in their business. They are too aptto expect that brilliant success awaits them at the commencement of their career, and as their first productions are crude and cantain perbaps Only the germ of ultimate success they are apt to beconie discouragea and condemn the patent laws and their execution. Still, if auy man of ordinary intelligence selects some staple line and concentrates his attention to it, there is little doubt of his success in the end. “The time is past when inventions can be made to any great extent by accident. All are now the result of painstaking inquiry in some given line With which the investigator Is most conversant. Edison ts an example of this. All his inventions arein the same line or suggested by experiments in that line, The inevitable result of competition in the future wiil be to foree the jn- ventor into narrower lines, and, as some inven- tions are better thay others, the public selection Se result in the survival of the fittest.

The com- munication in question takes the position that it was a mistake upon the part of the Park Com- missioners to substutute a string band for the reed band which in former years furnished the park music. Itsays: “In former years Vogel's reed band discoursed sweet strains, and it was a nota- ble fact that the melody could be heard even in the remotest parts of the park. Yesterday, and at the three preceding concerts, the music of the orchestra was inaudible to any one sitting fifty feet from the pavilion.’’ The first thing that strikes us is that the “‘Lafayette Park Young Man” needs the services ot an auristif he eould not hear the music at a distance of fifty feet from the pavilion. He however either does not knaw what he is talking about, or wWill- fully misrepresents facts when he _ 8states that “it is a notable fact that the melody (of the reed band) would be heard even in the remotest parts of the park” in fermer years. Asamatter of faet, not even a steam callio could play a melody so that it coulda be distinctly heara through the thick ;foliage of the trees in ail parts of the park, much less the “sweet strains,” over which the young man raves. But the in- herent absurdity of the statement becomes ap- parent to even the most ignorant, if it be remem- vered that in a reed band the melody ts generally carried by the wood-wind, clarionet, flute, piccolo, etc., and that these self-same instruments perform the self-same office in the string orchestra which is now playing at Lafayette Park. A little further on the same sapient critic says: “From a musical standpoint, a string bandis al- together out of place for an open-air concert. A brass band is too harsh. A reed band has been found to give the best satisfaction, as the success and reputation of former park concerts prove.” The Post-DIsPATCH, to keep up its reputation for enterprise, should have telegraphed this in- formation all over the world. They do not pos- sess it in -Paris, where all the better class of open-air concerts are given by string orchestras; they have not discovered It in Vieuna, nor in Berlin, norin Munich, where they make fools of themselves by using string orches- tras for all good out-dour entertainments. They are in the dar« in reference to this important mu- sical question at all the fashionable waterin laces in this country, with the exception o ‘oney Island, and even there they did not aban- don the strings for brass dn the grounds suggested by the Lafayette park young man, but because it was found that only a military band could com- yete with the music of the “much-sounding sea.” Dur Cincinnati neighbors are also wofully benind the times. When a reed band plays on the heights, admission is free; when Brand’s strin orenestea plays there, they charge fifty cents, an the Porkopplitansare silly enough to pay their halt dollar to hearin the open air the kind of band which the Lafayette park Aristarchus has condemned ex cathedra. Could you not hire. the youth on your missionary force and start him out reachin his new musical gospel to every nation, baptising them in the name of Vogel, reed bands and musical retro- gression? The undersigned, whom Aristarchus Secundus of Lafayette Park will perhaps class with the “mashers and dudes’ who go to the concerts, not to hear but *“‘to see and be seen,”’ were under the impression, until we had read the communication in question, that a great step tn advance had peen taken by the Park Commissioners when they had given Lafayette Park a refined orchestra in the stead of a vulgar reed band. We were also un- der the impression (erroneous, it seems,) that in point of selection and execution the programmes. now furnished surpass all former efforts, and Louis, who is by instinct and habits a veritable 7 PUBLIC OPINION. The Sunday Question Discussed To-Day on ’Change. What the Merchants and Business Men Think of Yesterday’s Enforcement of the Law—Some Interesting Interviews. The enforcement of the Sunday closing law was much talkea about on ’Change this morning. ‘The members gathered in knots in several places to discuss it before the morning call was opened. The conversation in most cases was made up of the curious incidents of the day, rather than of ahy discussion of tlie merits of the system itself. A Post-DISPATCH reporter, who went on the ffoor to gather the sentiment of the members, found a number of them unwilling to say much upon the subject just yet. Several gentlemen stated that they had not yet made up their minds and wanted to see moro of the miatter before they expressed themselves about it. MR. MICHAEL M’ENNIS was stopped and asked: “What do you think of the Sunday law, after its first trial?’’ “Well, I have always béen opposed to pronib- tory laws of all kinds. But ’min favor of any law which will F agian the selling of liquor to minors, on Sunday or any other day. I wish it could pe stoppea on every day in the week. If it cannot, then to have this thing cease on Sunday is part of a good thing. Close the saloons to nil- nors on whatever day you can.” MR. J, C. EWALD said: ‘As far as I am concerned I do not care whether the law-is enforced or not, It makes no difference to me. The only inconvenience it put me to was that found I could not purehase a_ cigar in the drug stores in my neighporhood, which was, of course, an annoyance. I like a quiet Sunday and 1 think that a little more rest would not do most of us any harm.” “Do vou think the enforcement of the law can be continued?” “T searcely think so. It willbe an exceedingly difficult matter in a large town like this. But about that matter we can wait and see. WEB M. SAMUEL said: “Llike to see Sunday a quiet day, because L think that isthe proper thing. But I have not fet made up my mind apout the Sunday aw. There are one oor two bvboluts about which I am_ not yet satisfied. Different people have aifferent idéas abytt the proper observance of the Sabbatn, growing °Ut of their religious belief, etc. There are personS WhO believe that itis wrong to reada paper on SUn- day, or take a drive in the Park. am not one of those kind of people. Atthe same time I believe in seeing the day respectfully observed. How far the law as ©l- forced yesterday will answer the pornos is a subject upon which Lam not yet fully satisfied.’ *Can the law be enforced?” ; “T think it wilt}{be an extremely difficult matter to enforce it. In a large town like this, the obsta- cles in the way will be very great. But that, too, is a matter which only the actual trial can de- termine.” MR, ALECK SMITH, when asked about the law as carried out yester- day, said: ‘I will tell you what the result will be. The saloon men will make a case and carry it to the Suvreme Court. There it will remain and be delayed until the meeting of the next Legisiature, when the bill will be knocked out of shape.” “But in the meantime?”’ “In the meantime these saloons will run on and defy the law.”’ “But they will lose their ticense.”’ “That will make no difference. They will run with or without license till the Legislature re- peals the law, which you may be sure it will do as $000, a8 it gets a chance.” MR. P. P. CONNOR said: “I think it would be a good thing if the saloons were closed every. Saturday evening, and were kept closed all day Sunday. Many a young fellow and an old fellow too, spends on a Sunday, every cent he earns during the rest of the week.* “sut what are your sentiments about that part of the law which puts a stop to all kinds of busi- ness ov Sunday?”’ “That I do not approve of. Sunday is a day of rest to be ‘tore think that. most things right on Sunday are righton Monday, and vice versa. While I lay no claims to be a very strict moralist, yet, at the same time, 1 heartily approve of all that part of the jlaw the enforcement of which tends to closé saloons and drinking places.” GEORGE BAIN had net any definite opinion to express, because, he declarea, he haa not considered the matter fally enough to be in condition to talk upon the subjecs. “It worked well enough,” he said, “yesterday; but I consider it a dif- ficult law to enforce: extremely so. As you know. I sometimes drink myself, but, at the same time, I would like to see the Sabbath properly observed as a matter of public policy, if for no other reasou.”’ MR. JEROME HILL said: “It made the day a quiet and orcerly one outin my neighborhood. It usual] there seemed to be an additional stilluess caused by the observance of the law. I think it a good plan to close the saloons on Sunday. About the otber branches of business, I have not yet formed any conclusion, and would rather not express a decided opinion.” MR. W. L. GREEN, JR., said; “I do not approve of this methoa of closing the saloons. It willidono good. High license is the proper method toe resort to,in my opinion, alicense so high that it will weed out all these low dives and dens which are the cause of crime of every kind. You will find, too, that the law, Which was partially carried out yes- can neyer be enforced. It will letter in a_ short __ time. It is impossible to carry out in big cities legisla- tion affecting sueh large numbers of the people. You will tind, too, that the saloon-keepers are too powerful, politically, to ajlow the matter to re- main in force much longer.” MK. GEORGE KINSKY expressed a decided opinion about the law. “I’ve never read the ,.Downing bill,” said he, “but I am told that it refers only to the closing of saloons on Sunday.” “That 1s the fact.” “And that the closing of all other branches of business is a piece of spite-work on the part of the Police Commissioners, who do so in order to assist in —s the Downing law odious. Well, I tell you, that is a despicable trick on the part of the commissioners, and the people ought to remember it and the men who are the euuse of it. ILaminfavoroft the Downing law. I want to see the saloons closed on Sunday; not because itis Sunday, for I think that what is done on a Monday can be done with equal pro- priety on aSunday. ButlI believe in seeing the saloons closed, because, on that day, the workingmen and the poorer ciasses spend more of their money in these drinking places than upon any other day; and it would be a good thing for them and for the people generally if the opportunity were taken away. Atthe same time this gives no excuse for raking up old laws which have na deaa letter for many years and en- forcin them simply to please a jot of saloon-keepers who = ihave influence. Itisa shameful thing todo and it reflects no credit on anybody who has had anything to do with it.

War Begun on the Water Gas Com- pany This Morning. oF as Me ae The Attorney-General Petitions for a Quo Warranto to Restrain Them from Manu- facturing Gas for Illuminating Purposes— The Document in Full—What the Attorney Says—An Earnest Conflict Impending. The first gun in the fight of the St. Louls Gas Light Company upon the Water Gas Company, was.fired in Judge Bareciay’s division of the Cir- cuit Court this morning when Mr. R. 8. McDon- ald, on behalf of Attorney-General McIntyre, pre sented tothe court the following petition for a quo warranto against the Water Gas Company to show cause w hy they should not be restrained from mainulacturing and vending gas for illuminatin par pos Within the corporate limits of the city ‘The State of Missouri upon the information of D.H. Melutyre, Attorney-General of said State, versus Thomas Howard, Fred. Schickle, Jon W. fiairison and Henry M. Post and the St. Louis Gas, Heat and Power Company. “And now comes the State of Missouri, by D, H. Mclatyre,its Attorney-General.and givesthe court to understand aud be informed that here- tofore, to-wit ou or about the eighth of April, A. D. 1880, the defendants, Thomas Howard, Fred Schickie, John W. Harrison and H. M. Post and their associates, successors and assigns, were granted the right and privilege of laying pipes, with all hecessary and proper attachments and fixtures, below the surface of any of the pub- lic streets and alleys and highways within the corporate limits of the city of St. Louis for the purpose of heating Pa and private buildings upou the terms and conditions of an ordinance No. 11.358, entitled ‘An ordinance authorizing Thomas Howard ana others to lay pipes in streets and alleys for heating purposes, approved April 8, A. UL. 1880.’ That after wards, to-wit: on the 2ist day of May, A. D. 1880, the said defendants last above mentioned, executed and acknowleaged a Certain pretended article of agreemeut of incor- poration and had the same duly recorded in the vecorder’s office of the city of St. Louis, and that on or about the 30th day of May, 1880, there was issued, based upon said alleged articles of incorporation and the recording thereof by the Secretary of the State of Missouri, a certificace of the corporate existence of saia de- fendants. Plaintiff further states that by the seventh article of said = articlés of agreement the ostensible purpuse for which said corporation was formed was to furnish, within the corporate limits of the city of Si. Louis, heat and power to public and private buildings, but the real and true purpose of Said defendants in forming said corporation Was to manufacture gas and to establish a gas- light company, and to sell and furnish gas for il- luminating purposes to public and private. builda- ings in said city of St. Louis: that the said de- fendants in furtherance of said purpose and de- sign caused the said St. Louis Heat ann Power Furnishing Company, on or about the 3d day of February, 1883, to change the name of said cor- poration to that of the St, Louis Gas, Heat and Power Company, and that said detendants are how exercising the rights and privileges of manufacturing aud selling gas for illuminating purposes, and of furnishing gas for iliuminatin purposes to public aud private buildings in sai city of St. Louis, and that said defendants are in open Violation of law in usurping and {utruding into franchises and rights not embraced or contemplated by said ordinance numbered 11,358 ll S410 articies of incorporation and the said cer- tificate issued by the Secretary of State as aforesaid based thereon; that said defendants in carrying ou the business of a gas-lighi company and man- ufacturing aud vending gas for illumibating pur- poses are mnisusing the privileges and franchises granted to said defendants, and that said acts of said defendants were and are in fraud of and an evasion and violation of the statute law of the State and an. illegal misusing and _ usur- pation of the franchise thereof. Wherefore the State of Missouri, by its Attorney-General, asks that said defendants be ruied to show by what authority they claimto act as a gaslight company, and by What authority they exercise the franchises thereof, and by what authority they mauutacture, sell and furnish gas for illuminat- ing@ purposes to public an private build- ings. in the city of §t. Louis, and that on their failure to show a lawful right so to do that their pretended franchises and the use thereof be deciared null and void, and for judgment of ouster and their seizure tw the State. “D. H. MCINTYRE, Attorney-General,” After the petition had been read to the court by Mr. MacDonald, Judge Barclay announced that he would take the matter under advjsement ana render his decision on Wednesday morning. The case will be prosecuted by Mr. MacDonald and Judge Lindley. Mr. MacDonald denied, in conversation with a PostT-DISPATCH reporter this morning, that the proceedings were at the instance of the St. Louis Gas Light Company. “Tt is not at all clear thatthe St. Louis Gas Light Company does not own the Water Gas Com- pany. This proceeding was instituted at the in- stance of the people living in the neigh- borhood of the ater Gas works - cause they can get no other relief from the nuisance created by the manufacture of water gas at the works on Tayon avenue and Clark avenue. About a hundred of these citizens petitioned the Attorney-General to interfere in their behalf, and after reading their petition he authorized myself and Judge Lindley to. pre- sent the document which I just read to Judge Barclay. We are also acting for the people who took the first steps in the matter.” MR. HENRY M. POST, one of the directors of the Water Gas Company, was seen at the company’s offices in the Lindell Hotel. He statedtothe reporter that he had known nothing of the quo warranto proceedings until the reporter’s arrival. “Vou are the first man to bring me the news,’’ said Mr. Post. “What will the Water Gas Company do about the matter?” “T can’t tell you until I Know more about it,” said Mr. Post. “Ts it true that the Water Gas Company is pre- paring to absorb the Laclede Company, and that it has offered to purchase all of the stock of the St. Louis company ?’’ ‘Il saw a statement to that effect in one of the papers yesterday. Sofaras I Know tne whole story is a work of imagination.” MR. SOC NEWMAN, : superintendent of the st. Louis Gas Light Com- pany, who was seen at the company’s office on Oiive street, bad heard nothing of the quo war- ranto proceedings. “T am not a director in the company,” said Mr. Newman, “but [am permitted to read the record of their proceedings and can saythat as taras I can judge from that record the St. Louis Company is not 4 party to this suit.”’ ““IsMr. MacDonald the attorney for the St. Louis Gas Light Company?” “No, sir,”’ said Mr. Newman. A signiticant fact in connection with the suit is that Judge J. J. Lindley, Mr. MacDonald’s coun- sel, is the recularly employed attorney of the La- clede Gas Light Company. THE RAILROADS.

Baudoin, a doctor who went out to New Ireland with one of the expeditions organized by M. de Breuil, better Known as the Mar quis des Rays, now awaiting his trial on some grave charges, gives some very interest- ing details as to the manner in which Marag- nane, the native King, signed the treaty pre- sented to him by Capt. Rabardy. His Majesty was invited on Goan the Genil, and appeared on the quarter-deck in the full, but net complete, costume of a band of red eloth around his arm and a reed through his nose. He was accommodated with a seat on a hen- coop, and was pisces within a tempting dis- tance of a scarlet petticoat, a bunch of clay pipes, a quantity of tobacco and some beads. His atteution was so taken up by the muuifi- cence of Rabardy that he. took no notice of the hens which pecked irreverently at his sable legs every now and again. He was asked if the islana belonged to him, and answered in the affirmative, making for the presents. He was forced back into his seat, while the lawyer who. accompanied tlie ex- pedition read over the charter by which the white map had everything given tohim. He was told he could have the presents if he signed the document. With tears in his eyes he urged his ignorance of the art of calli- graphy, ana tue lawyer guided his hand, showing him how to make a cross. His courtiers, who had accompanied him, looked on with surprise, When they saw that making 4 mak with a pen placed their mon- arch in possession of so many rich gilts they came forward with touching unanimity, and Capt. Rabardy had some ditheulty in preventing them from covering the deed with crosses.

We have lost another illusion. ‘lhe roval- ist papers tellus that among the historical souvenirs which adorn the salons of Frohs- dortt is the tamous viume of Henry LV.; onjy this fanous “white plume” is_ biack. What now becomes of the celebrated histuri- cal phrase attributed to the father of the Bourbons which has figured in books of his- tory for several centuries? “Follow my white plume! You will always find it on the way of honor.” Now, the white one wurns out to be a black one! Then why did our teachers of history, and even Henry LY. himself, telius it was white? Perhaps the Navarrais said, “Follow my black plume,” aud was incorrectly reported at the time. Or it may be that the famous plume has grown biack with age, though age usually hasa contrary effect even on chocolate, which, when genuine, grows gray as it grows old. Auother supposition is that the good and confiding king bught the plumé of some dishonest tradesman, who had colored the black one white and the color was not fast. We cannot do more than throw out hints for the atudents of history; the hypotheses to be made on this entangled historical puzzle are as numerous as the problem itself - portant. - : coaenhioes “Brown's : wigan wis a abre weds | oh ‘a . bed . CORP TL -——-— B THE CAPRIO Beautiful Women and Men Destitute of Self-Respect. Correspondence of the New York Post. The Capriots are nota noble people. To be sure, they are very much superior to the Neapolitans; but that is saying very little, seeing that the Neapolitans are among the most degraded and inhuman people that ex- ist. And yet the Capriots are free froma great many vices; they are neither malig- nant, mischievous, nor, in the ordinary sense, thievish. You may leave ali your doors unioeked by niget and by day without rthat any one wi aiehae your sleep or carry off your property. The trouble with the people is that they have no self-respect, no personal dignity, They have been so te held in bondage, physical, intellectual and moral, by brutal and tyrannical rulers, and unclean, superstitious, coarse priests that er: have lost all feeling of personal responsibility and worth, and when any temptation presents itself, have ne pedestal | of moral attainment which it costs them an effort to step down from. They are all beggars, every man, woman and child of thew, except those few that have either married foreigners or have come under their influence. OF political freedom the Capriots have never dreamt. They are still under the influence of priests and averse to the Italian Goverument, which takes its revenge by inaking the island a staiion for ill-behaved soldiers, Truthfulness is no more Considered a virtue in Capri than else- where in Italy, and the same may be said of chastity, Like ail people who have been loug under a paternal and pries ly goveru- meut, the Capriots have no notion of public spirit or ot any of the bigher results of civilization. The whole thought and en- deavor of each person is direeted to what he considers his own interest, and he has no un- derstanding of the character of those who do Otherwise, An utteriy sordid and selfish life is that of the Capriots. And yet there is a great deal ol good material in the people. They are not bad or naturally vicious. They have simply never been educated or subjected to élevating influences, Whevever they are subjected to these the natural good that lies hiduen in their character mauifests itself. his is particularly marked in the case of those peasant girls who have marri d men of position or cuitivated foreigners. Though almost completely ignorant, being, for the most parbunable either to read or write, thev almost uniiormly turn out to be good, faithful, frugal, careful and affectionate Wives. Perhaps the interesting fact cun- nected with the Capri people ts that so many of these common peasant girls have won the hearts of cuitivated foreiguers. Of course the first and great attraction of these girls is their beauty, and of this itis alwost im- possible to say too -much. Capri contains in all only about 4,000 people, and yet it probably contains more really beauti- ful women than apy place with a hundred times the number of inhabitants. The heau- ty is due to several causes; first, the mixture of Greek and Saracenic blood that flows in thelr veins; second, the healthy, active, fru- gal lives they leadin aclimate that: hardly has a peer; third, the weights they axe in the habit of carrying on their heads. The firstof these causes gives them beauty of form, face and expression; the second gives strength aud beautiful, healthy complexion ; the tuird gives them a gait that in many eases is almost royal. One of the most charming sights in the world is to see a bevy of Anacapri girls walking home barefooted on the top of the parapet of the new ruad that leads to the upper village. ‘hey look like sO many originals of ‘‘anagra figures, waking for Olympus to grace the feasts of the immorta! gods. Under theirclean, loose, flowing tastetul garments every muscle of their strong, lithe budies is seen moving with a suppleness and a freedom that remiud one of the glorious daughters of Niobe. The Anacapri women, on the whole, are hand- somer than those of the other village, ai- though those too have their share of beauty, The marriages betweea Capri women and cultivated foreigners are numerous, and sometimes very strange. Prince Carracciolo (who can hardiv be called a f.reigner) mar- ried a barefooted lass, and tives here in an obtrusive English-looking house. Lord Grantley, son of the Hon. Mrs. Norton, the poetess, married another, who lives herein a pretty villa below Monte Solaro. Mrs, Nor- ton tried to give her a few notions of history once by telling ber of the horrid crueities exercised by Tiberius in Capri. The gir iietened in patience, and then asked if Tibe- riusand his disagreeable associaies (tutta questa brubia gente) were still alive! Lt 4s said the fiery poetess desisted from her efforts after that. The number of artists— English, American, French, German, Hunga- rian, ete.—who have married pretty Capriot girls is quite considerable. These marriages are generally brought about in rather a queer way. The couples generally live together without marrying for some years, until they have a family, and by that time they are so attached to each other that they con- clude to bind themselves legally to- gether, and the result, at any rate, seems to be eminently satisfactory to al] parties concerned, wee) marriages do indeed now and then fall through half way, but not often, and indeed veiy much more rarely than might be expected. This, of course, speaks weilfor the Capri women, who un- questionably improve very much after they have come under the influence of cultivated people. How they can be companions for such people [cannot conceive; but artists seem to require less intelligent cutnmpanion- ship than other people of cultivation. When a foreigner takes to himself a Capri woman he generally takes her whole family along with her, except such members as may be already independent. He takes a house large enough for the whole, generally with some land attached. The parents do the rough work of the house and land, the wo- man attends to her lord and nurses, and her brothers and sisters run errands and do little things. In this way he is weil taken care of, and. indeed. livesin an extremely economi- cal way: The wowman’s family fail into his ways and serve him in every way. Life be- comes 80 easy that he generally concludes to marry the Woman, and so ali ends happily. Tax Payers, Attention. | OFFICE OF THE COLLECTOR OF REVENUE, St. Louis, duly 27, 1883.

Violent Eruptions on an Island in Lake Nicaragua. From the Punama Star and Herald. During the past three or four months the extinct volcano of Ometepe has given signs that it was about to burst into activity. Smoke, flames, ashes, pumice stone, smal! lava flows and ail the accessories which mark a complete volcanic outiet have been seen. On June 19, for the first time, the lava streamed from the new crater and ran in the direction of Las Pilas, but until the 99d it had not reached the main road to Sipa- eapa. Onthe night of the 20th the sides of the mountain were alive with fire as the lava ured down, sweeping with it trees, rocks and earth, while the continued bellowings of the volcano struck terror into tie hearts of all who heard them. On the 83d the whole rsiand was continually quakine, many of the inhabitants fled, and the authorities com- menced preparations for the reinoval of every one from the islaud. On the 24th the java bed had covered up the road, and the two young mea who had gone with others to watch the flow had buried under it. Tne java continued to pour out in an almost poaterrapens stream, but up to the 23th of uneit had as reached the shore. On the a panic set in yoy the populace, omg Be t rum- ers and boats were sent to the island to | transport the people to Granada, Rivas and other cities. The lava flow on Thursday, the 26th, took & new direction, and, pouring down within a mile of the town, cut off communication with the farms and pastures upon which the Islanders depend fora living. Qn the 27tn and 28th the eruptions were horrible in their intensity, and led to the few remaining peo- ple fleeing to the mainiand, Boiling lava and mud and ashes and rocks now cover the sides of the mountain and the pleasant slopes which have beenguitivated for centuries by the peculiar af@® ancient race which in- habited the island. T e view of the volcano when in eruption is said to be one of sur- passing grandeur. Clouds of smoke sweep upward, through them flash glittering masses of burning, half-molten rocks, which shatter into a thousand fragments when coming into | contact with the cold air, while underneath there swells, bubbles and throbs the~ever- surging mass of red-hot lava destined to carry ruin to the villagers who have hitherto lived on the flanks of the voleane. Aithough the ground is ina continual tremor, no earth- quakes have been exverieuced, and the clouds of ashes which constantly rise do not trouble visitors to the isiand. Tne strong winds sweep them over to Rivaa, where landowners are. becoming alarmed at the prospect of their crons being damaged. Mrs. W.

From the London Athenzum. In the ordinary review fashion there is not much to say of Miss Thomas’ book (“George Sand’’), which is well written without being very remarkable in style, and fairly com- plete without being a model of narrative ab- stract. The same obstacle which, as it seems to us, might weil have delayed the publica- tion of Miss Thomas’ book, delays the utter- ance of avy final judgment on George Sand’s character. But it may be pointed out that in Miss Thomas’ valiant and quite honest at- tempt to take her author's side in her rela- tions with Musset and Chopin a good deal is left out of sight. Musset and Chopin were not the only victims—they-were not the only ones by a great many; and before pronounc- ing George Sand gulltiess or excusabie we really should like to have a single example brought forward of her numerous or innum- erabie lovers who did not suffer in an acuter or milder form the same woes as Musset or Chopin. Unless that most piquant tradition which declares Merimee to have been the Siegfried of this Brynhild (though the com- parison is a Vilecomparison as regards Bryn- hild) be true, we are not aware of a single person in the numerous apd woeful band who was not more or less in the condition of wearing the willow, from M, Sandeau to the iuckless being whom M.

An old man was arraigned before an Ar- kansaw court for some trifling offense, and among the witnesses was an old woman, who, in giving her testimony, made such ef- forts to shield the old man that the Judge asked ; . “Medam have you known this man very long ?”’ ‘ “Yes, sir,” the old woman replied, “I have known him a very jong time. When I wasa young girl this man used to visit me. In fact, Judge, we were sweetiearts,”’ and she twisted her apron and looked down. “Ah, Lsee,” the Judge replied, “used to be sweethearts and think so much of each other new a you did snot marry each other then ?”’ “You are mistaken, Judge, for wa did marry each other then, and are husband and wife now.” “indeed,”” the Judge exclai “this isa remarkable case. berate old fellow, Mr, Officer. é oe take thqmasives the respect ¢ to their office.” But Kidney-Wort oc spect for its own solid merits jes riec ana found not wanting In any essent BEAR AND DOG. A Sensational Battle with an Unex- pected Termination. From the Arkansaw Traveler. A well-known gentleman of Little Rock urchased an enormous black bear.

A large bull dog ean whip a bear any time. 1’ll bring him over to-mer- row Next me J the gentleman and the dog called on the Colonel and the bear. The bear was chained to a tree ina grove, and when the dog saw him he wanted to eat him without further ceremony. “Here,”’ said the colonel. “I don’t want the bear to get away after he chews the head off your dog, so you'll have to hold one end of the chain.” “Blamed if Ido. I'll tell you what. Tie the dog to one end of the chain and let the bear take care of the other end.” This was agreed upon, and the dog was soon tugging at his end of the line, anxious toopen the engagement. The bear whined and looked far away. It was evident that he did not relish the coming performance. When everything was ready the dog was liberated. He darted at the bear and a him by the ham. The bear shook him off, but in- stead of resenting the insult, turned and be- an to climb @ tree, dragging the dog after im, He went out on a limb, and before the calanel and tie gentiewan could realize the turn of affairs the dog was suspended ten feet from the ground. “Why, d—n his fool soul, he'll kill my dog,’ howled the gentleman. | *T reckon he will,” the colonel replied. The bear lay stretched out on the limb, looking duwn at the dog whose struggles were becoming weaker. “Climb up the tree colonel and take the chain from the bear’s neck.”’ “No, I’d rather not. Don’t like the way he Jooks at the dog, Suppose you go up.” “Biamed if ldo. I wouldn't take a hun- dred dollars for that dog. ‘The War’s afraid of bim don’t you think?” “Shouldn’t wonder,as he seems to be keep- se of the dog’s way.” y this time the dog’s tongue was hanging out, and it was plain to be seen that he was dead.

She wore soft, drooping, black feather tips in ner hair, held byadiamond clasp. The feature of the dress was some handsome old paste buttons, which glittered down the front of the bodice. The lady’s young sister wore adress in perfect contrast—a white embroidered gauze train, with a skirt of heavy white satin, white ostrich ups and pearl ornaments and buttons.

From the Savannah News There is a young man near Sumter who was to be married on « certain night. He had seen and loved the girl and was too bashful to do his courting, so it had to be done by proxy. The day had arrived, the guests assembled, the license procured, the parson on hand and the bride ready. but the youthful groom did not turn up. The friend who had done the courting went out, and, after looking around, found him sitting or lying in a horse-trough. Qn asking him why he did n»t go to the house to be married, he said: ‘Oh, P can't go thar and stand before them folks,” “Qh, yes, you can; everybody in there is married but your girl. Comeon.” “Get her to come out doors and we'll marry under the shed, but let the old folks stay in the house.” The friend went back, got the girl and parson out without exciting suspicion, and they were married. The company waited two or three hours, and, on being invited to supper, were introduced to the bride and ‘ They became so indignant that all left with- out partaking of supper.

RETURN OF THE MODOGCS, Not in Good Humor, But Ready to Try It Again. Mr. J. A. St. John is back again from the row- ing tour of the Modocs at Muskegon and Pullman. The Modoc oarsmen have not al] returned as vet, part of them being expected with the boats to- night. Mr. St. John said that the regatta passed off very smoothly and satisfactorily. The Modocs did not gain any very brilliant prizes, winning the six-oared barge and single only. Mr. St. John said the hot work at —— operated against the success of the boys at Pullman, as they had very fast crews to row agaimst there. The water was rough most of the time and it was difficult on this account to get the proper practice or to row with any comfort in the races. The regatta was well managed and the only decision which was open to criticism was the one that gave the race between;the Burlingtons and Excel- siors to the former, because the Excelsiors were compelied to borrow a coxswain. No protest was entered before the race, and Mr. St. Join thinks the Excelsiors should have had the race. The re- gatta was not a financial success, owing doubtless to the fact that the professional regatta took place so short a time before. The Modoes are expecting a challenge to row for the Faust cup, which they willattempt to hold to the best of tbeir ability, notwithstanding that they are alittle broken up over the results at Puliman.
