The Most Wonderful Operation Known in Surgery - — —_— Performed in the Presence of One Hundred Prominent Physicians—An Aneurism of the liiac Artery. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw YORK, August 3.—On Thursday afternoon Dr. Dange, one of the visiting surgeons of Belle- vue Hopital, performed a rare operation upon an aneurism of the external iliac artery in the pres- ence of nearly a hundred physicians. Among them were Dr. A. Flubrer, Dr. Little, Dr. Henry B. Sand®, Dr. Charles Phelps, Dr. Whittemore of New Haven, and Dr. Smith of the United States army. Invitations were sent to all the prominent surgeons of the city, but few could be present, and the attendance was composed principally of the home _§ staffs of the various city hospitals. The patient is a flute player, 36 years of age, and was formerly employed in one of the theater orchestras in this city. Hehad been troubled with aneurism for neariy a year. It showed itselfin his left groin, where it caused a protuberance . THE SIZE OF A HEN EGG, and the pressure upon the nerves of his left leg Was SO great as to Cause numbuess in that limb, which, in lume, became nearly paralyzed. Three weeks ago he consultea Dr. av operation, and he was accordingly admitted to the hospital... On Thursday afternoon he was taken Into the hospitalampliutheater. Dr. Lange assisted by Dr. Churles aamearass, Dr. Samue Lewengood, Dr. Robert T. Morris and Dr. W. T. Wardwell, cut through the } atient’s abdominal wall into his abdomen. The intestines were turned to one side while Dr. Lange reacued into the orifice and tied tiie common iliac below the point where it branches off from the aorta, and just above the .aneurisin. The intestines were then replaced, the cut sewed up, and the patient restored to consciousness. More than a week has elapsed since the operation, and the patient Is considered likely to recover. If the aneurism had been allowed to remain, the continued flowing of the blood through it would have enlarged it and weakened its walls, and it would have been LIKELY TO BURST with the slightest strain. It would have increased size with time, and the abnormal upon the surrounding organs nerves would have led to various disorders. The operation stops the flow of blood through the aneurism, which vecomes hard and snialier.” [tatso stops the circulation through the liane arteries, which supply the left leg with its sustenance, causing the blood to course from an overflow, as it were, from the upper part of the vody through the small blood vessels whici form a chain of condicts ail over the system. If this collateral circulation is not sufficient to give the member its life, it will probably Lave to be ampu- tuted. Thisis one of the dangers to_ be feared. Among the other effects which may follow such an operaiuon are pyw#imia or blood poisouing,from the siOughing of the sac of the aneurism, yeritoenitis or inflammation of the living mem- rane Of the abcominail cavity, the loosening of the ligature which binds the iiiae, and secondary hemorrhage. The patient sometimes never re- covers fromthe shock of the operation. The operation is one of the rarest Known in surgery, and has been seldomsperformed. Dr. Erichsen in bis standard work on surgery in 1879, said that it had been performed forty iiimes with only ten re- coveries. It has been performed a number-of times sinee then with the same proportionate re- suits. Dr. Sands onee performed it if Wiis city. The patient recovered, but his leg had to be ain- putated afterwards, gangrene resulting fom im- perfect circulation. AN UNWISE PREACHER. fils Eccentric Punctilionsness Leads Him Into Singular Difficulties. By Telegraph tothe Post-Dispatch. NEW. YORK, Auzust 3—The Rev. William L. Moore, said to have been the pastor of a church in Jersey City, engaged rooms and board in the last week of June atthe Avery House, Katonah, for himself, his wife, a young unmarried son, an unmarried daughter and a_é married daughter, Mrs. Cruikshanks, her husband and baby. agreeing, Mr. Avery says, to pay by the month. The “Merry Troubadours,” an organiza- tien composed principaily of members ot one of ihe MeCaull Opera Companies, were stopping at the hotel. Not long after the arrival of Mr. Moore and his party Mis. Moore and Mrs. Crurk- shanks, itis alleged, made remarks at the table that were offensive to the theatrical people and finally appealed tothe Rey. Mr. Eastman, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in the village.of which Mr. Avery is a member,, to put a stop to all dane- ing and singing in the house. The “Merry Trowus badours” left the Avery House and sought oiher quariers. Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Cruikshanks did not get on well with some of the remaining fuests,andon Tuesday evening last informed Mr. Avery that they intended to go away the next day. They offered to settle at the monthly rate. Mr. Avery thoughtthat would not be fair, since they had been there but little more than a month instead of all summer, and asked them to think it over atnight. Next morning Mrs. Cruikshanks offered Mr. Avery a check for the amount due ac- .cording to her own figures. Mr. Avery said that he would rather have money. No money was forihcoming. Mr. Avery said that the family baggage could not jeave the hotel until the bill was paid. An expressman came for the baggage. Mr. Avery ordered him not to tome into the house. Mr. Moore and his son, .Harry, dragged a trunk down stairs and toward the door. Mr. Avery got ahead of the trunk and pushed it back. Mr. Avery says that Mr. Moore seized him by the throat, saying: “T willchoke the life out of you;” and that Mrs. Cruikshanks ana Mrs. Moore also attacked him. He managed to bite one of Mr. Moore’s fingers and Mr. Moore let go. Then Mr. Avery dragged the trunk away from the door. His coat and shirt had been torn in the scrimmage. Mr. Moore caused the arrest of Mr, Avery on a charge of. assault. The case will be heard by Justice Burdsall, of Bedford Station, to-day. In the mesntime Mr. Avery swore out warrants before Justice Haight. of Mount Kisco, for the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Cruikshanks for assauit and battery. ITEMS IN ILLINOIS.

By Telegraph tothe Post-Dispatch. Boston, August 3.—Arthur W., the twenty- three-year-old son of Willard Oliver, residing at No. 41 South street, West Lynn, was found dead in a shed at the rear of his home at 6 o’clock Thursday morning. His method of ending life was decidedly novel. After eating his supper last evening he informed his parents that he was going out and would not return until late. It is supposed that he immediately went to the shed and commenced preparations for his death. Re- moving a portion of his clothing he selected a clean portiun of the shed floor to lie dowf upon, and covering himself with a cloth, he adminis- tered what.ts supposed to have been chloroform to his nose. A large tin pan was lying at his siae in which was poured the fatal drug, and he inhaled the same by the ai@ of a sponge. Two large bottles which contained the chloroform were found near where he lay and he had taken the pains to remove any portion of the labels from the bottles. Young Oliver was a shoe cut- ter by trade, and not baving any employment of late, he was ) CONSIDERABLY DOWNHEARTED, being the victim of frequent fits of despondency. From his actious it is supposed that this led to hia suicide. He had frequenutiv said that he was afraid he coyld not secure sufficient work to give bim a living. He was not looked upon as be- ing insane, and the suddenness of his demise caused much excitement in that portion of the city where the affair occurred. His parents are respectable people and feel the affair keenly. Medical Examiner Pinkham was notified and viewed the body. There will be no necessity of an inquest being held. No woman isin the case, lor & wonder. in. PROHIBITION. Developments Growing Out of Locai Uption in Georgia. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. ATLANTA, GA., August3.—Among some of the curious developments growing out of the prohibi- tion of liquor licenses in local option counties, a case from Forsyth county is noticeable. Some time ago George Stephens boughi a ten-gallon keg of whisky tor hisown use, and Watson Moore found that George had whisky and also where he keptit. While George slept Watson went to the barn, stole the keg, and took it away. The fact that Watson kept in a hilarious condition led George to believe that he took his whisky, and he said so publicly. Watsou got mad and sued out a writ against Stephens, returnable to the next Superior Cour to recover damages done to his character by the charge of theft. After a tline Watson got the “jim jams” and sent for three physicians, who svon bad Lim out again. -Tven his -moveniets were ciosely watched, and he was seen to visit a little briar patch in an obscure place. It was while he was engaged in one of these visits that it Was ascertaiued that he had the keg hidden there agd a reed through which he obtained the Hiquory Watson and the Keg were taken into custody and carried before a magistrate, where Watson owned up and agreed to pay for the whisky, seven gallons of wuich he had used wp. The case was suttled. Watson went to the cierk’s Office, paid the custs in the damage suit, and had the case dismissed. Curious THE HILL COMMITTEE, The Investigators Wil! Meet Next Week in New York. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 3.—The Hill inves- tigating committe had its last session this morn- ing prior to the preparatian of its report. Coicman said he had conctuded not to cross-examine Chiel Computer Thompson. Steinmetz made a short sialement to the committee in regard to the cost of the slate roof on the New York postoffice. which work was done under his superintendence.

They will meet in New York pext week to confer with the sugar import- ers before making a report. THE FIFTEEN PUZZLE. A Maniac Attempts to Throw a Fellow Workman From a Cathedral Spire. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, NEw YorK, August 3.—Daniel Conroy, who be- came insane three years ago over the “Fifteen” puzzle,and who was released from the asylum later, had another attack of mania while working at the top of the Cathedral spire. Dropping his tools, he seized a fellow workman, John Gowdon, and attempted to fling him over. For full five minutes the men struegied on the top of the tower. Both were saved trom death by laborers who ascended to the rescue. Had Gowdon been flung off, he would have been dashed tu pieces on a huge stone block 150 feet below. Conroy has been arrested.

The Solid Men Have Torn up Their Compact. i — They are Tired of the Business—The Slate Can Now Go In-=Maypr Ewing in Doubt-- Talks with the Seven Councilmen, The Solid Seyen have at last thrown up their hands. They have demonstrated the axiom which everybody knows, that there never was a man who went out to hunta fight who did not get it. This morning the whole bunch are in the condi- tion of the fighting characver in Robson & Crane’s comedy of “Sharps and Flats,” who goes out with blood in his eye to whip an enemy, and who re- turps in three minutes with both eyes closed, his nose all awry, his face a miniature symphony in blue and red, while the rim of. his -hat takes the place of his collar, and his shirt ‘and trowsers hang about bim in pennant shaped strips. In public estimation the battle between the seven and the Mayor was a square fight. The seven wanted the fight and the Mayor was willing. But, after the public saw that the serilmmage was a ug-handle affair, and that it was the old school- oy story of Mr. Ewing doing all the fighting and the seven standing the licks, the feeling changed. The merchants on ’Change, business men and representative citizens generally. in interviews published in the Post-DISPATCH, and ia con- versation everywhere stated that matter as coming a nuisance. It was op said by scores of business men that ii Was a sensicul for Mr. Vastine, or Mr. Stone, or Mr. Temple to attempt to run the Mayor’s business as it would be for Mr. Ewing to step up to Mr. Stone’s founary and take charge of ihe safe and the eugine room. This morning, how- ever, therough and tumbie came to an end. From the bottom of the heap which the Mayor has _ been pumimeling came the cry, in seven different voices, “Let me up. I’m done. Evough, enough.” Mr. Vastine, ip an in- terview puvlished this morning, states that the Seven bave disbanded, and shuws an agreement signed by all of them which, among ether things, says, ‘We agree to reject ail bad and confirm all vood nomihations made heretofore or hereaiter by his Huon er, Wm, L. Ewing, Mayor of St. Louis.” MR. VASTINE further stated that there would be no further re- organization. “That agreement reads very curi- ously,” said a well-known citizen to a Post-DIs- PATCH re, orter this morning. ‘“‘What else ‘had they to do but to confirm all good and reject ail bud nominaiions? These men must have been laboring under a mistake. They did hot Know What they were expected to do, otherwise they would vever have signed a solemn agreementjpledging themselves to do noth- ing but their duty. A PosST-DISEATCH reporter met Mr. Vastine in front of his office. on Fourth In answer to his ques- the street at neon to-day. tions, Mr. Vastine said: ‘-l have nothing to say except what I have al- ready stated.”’ “The seven have disbanded?” “Yes, sir. I have aothing more to say about it. 1 am satisfied, it everybody else is. COUNCILMAN ED. DEVOY was also met. He laugued, but he declared that he had nothing to te!l which would: interest the publi. The Seven had broken ranks, and he thou, bt the whole matter wis over. COUNCILMAN ZELLE smiled like a guiieful heavy stage villain when tbe reporter approached him with a question. — 3 “I’m not gong totell you anythivg abvui it,’ lie said, after he hud posed himsef carefully on the edge of the curvsione. “But have the Seven disbanded?” “Tl dap’t know. I haven’t seen any of the others latel Pend I can’t tell you anything about it.” “Why did they disband?” persisted the inter- viewer. “I’m not goine to tell you whether they dis- banded or not,’’ and the smiling Councilman with- drew himseif and bis ivformation Into the sanc- tity of his own bu-iness office. COUNCILMAN WM. H. STONE was equally non-productive of informa- tion, He declared that he bad not seen the other six members of the whilom famous com- bination since last Friday night. . “Have the Solid Seven gone out of business?” “1 don’t oe anytbing —— ee % “But Judge Vastine says they have. “Well, ibs dudae isa hth ful man,” said the nopn-columunieative counciuhan, , WITH COUNCILMAN CUMMINGS the interviewer had much betuer success. Mr, Cummings Was quite ready to talk. He sald that it, ashe had been informed, tne Seven had dis- vunded, nothing wouid be easier for them than to revive their organization If necessary. ‘As for myself,” sad Mr. Cummings, “I shall always have tue greatest respect for the opinivas and preferences of my colleagues of the combination, and the fact that a solemn league or covenant no longer exists’ between us W li not alter my determination to yield to the wishes of a majority of them in any matter that may come beture the Council.” “Have you a copy of the original agreement of associailuu among the seven?” “[ have not. There were two copies of the doc- ument, but L don’: Know where they are.” “What do you consider to be the duty of the Council now?” “I think that the Council has theright and that it is its duty, the Mayor having falled to send in bis appoiniuents at tne time required by the charter to do so, to elect officers to the various } city offices just as though the Mayor had failed to in new names for more than ten days aiter the jfuormer appointments had been re- jected. If we were to do 80, L am of the opinivca Laat the officers so elected could mandamus the Cily Register for their commissions, snd that they could enter upon the dischiurge of their duties.” Reviewing the history of the past lew moutis, Mr. Cummings said: “J am salistied that the Seven made one or two bluuders. They blundered when the three Re- ubvlicans, Zelle, Vastine and inyseif, notified the towse-Parker caucus at the Lindell Hotel in April that they would not go into the caucus unless Messrs. Rowse, Scudder,- Parker aad President Parker would agree to reject all of the Mayor ’s appotutments. he Mayor, in his mes- sage last Friday, made a good poiut when he de- clared that the Council had po right to be both accuser and judge in the same presesns, be- cause that is clearly against the bill of rights, but I Link bis otner points were weak. The Seven had a perfect right to combine together, and the Council was periectly competent to initiate the impeachment, even though this is a special ses- sion, because we might bave asked the President to call a special — onfor the very purpuse of trying the impeachment.” sare yuu satistied with the result of the im- eachment?” . “Periectiy. I was satisned before we went into the matter that we could not get the Constitutional number to convict, but I had not been so ,satistied I should have voted against conviction myself. All that we Wanted was to put vurselves on record. MAYOR EWING was visited in his office at noon to-day by a Post- PATCH reporter, gc you heard anything of the dissolution of be Selid Seven?” 4 : “Quly rumors and whatI read in the papers this morniug.

The impression that has gone out within the past few weeks that there is to be no ball at the Merchants’ Excnange following upon the pageant of the Veiled Prophets, is definitely announced to be erroneous. There was some talk about og it on the score of expense, in consequence of the | —_ rr agreement to give the tableaux at the Olympic theater on — night, but the proposition was overruled and the usual elaborate preparations are being made for the great socia] and spectacu- larevent. This statement is made upon the au- thority of a number of a who have fig- ured publicly in connection with the pageants of past years. Fair week will be a carnival week in- deed, with the Veiled Pruphets, the ball, the trade pageant and military review, the military ball.and the tableaux on Friday night, to say nothing of the gorgeous illumination of all the principal business streets during the whole week. THE WATER FAMINE. An Amended Proclamation Issued by the Mayor. At the meeting of the Board of Public Improve- ments, this morning, Water Commissioner Whit- man submitted the following report regarding the condition of the Compton Hill reservuir and sug gesting means for ayerting further distress: ST. LOUIS, Angust 3, 1883. Col. Henry Flad, President Board of Public Im. rovements: rk—Since the date of the proclamation of his Honor, the Mayor, July 25th, prohibitir the sprinklin of the streets ahd the use 0 water through hand hose, there has been a steady gain in the quantity of water in the Compton Hill Reservoir. The to- tal increase nas been a littic over 24,000,000 gallons, or at the rate of two and two-thirds niiliions dal! ° The lowest point reached at 6 a. m. was on suly 25, When the water stood at 157 7-10 feet. To-day, August 3, at6 a.m. the height was 167 1-10 feet, being a total gain ®% As hear as can be street _sprink- lin bv was ut 2,500,uN@ gallons daily. This is a little less than our aver- age daily gain for the last nine days. In view of these facts I would recommend that the Board request his Honor, the Mayor, to issueta new proc lamation permitting street sprinkling by carts to proceed as usual, but prohibiting the use of water through hand hose for any purpose at the public buildings or city. institutions, aud probibiting all consumers from using water through hand-hose for sidewalk or gutter wasli- ing; street, lawnor yard sprinkling. or washing vehicles except where the water passes through a meter. This prohibition to continue thirty days. Respectfully, THos. J. WHITMAN, Water Commiss@uer. The recommendation was approved and for- warded to the Mayor, who will prepare the amended proclamation to-morrow. As hose is used for sprinkling purposes in localities where the sprinkilng carts do not come, a large number of —— against what appears to be a di@crimina- ion may be expected. It is suggested that tho best way to have proceeded would have been to limit the street-sprinkling carts to two or three trips daily, aud restored the full use of private hose, as a sanitary measure if nothing else. Mayor Ewing has issued a vrociamation re- moviug the prohibition on street sprinkling, but retaluing that ov the Use of hand-hose, in accord- ance with the recommendation of the Board of Public Improvements. A PLAGUE SPOT. How Epidemics Originate— Where's the Health Department ? A communication was received at the Post- DISPATCH office this morning calling attention to the bad condition of the premises in and about the boarding house at No. 1415 Morgan street, and giving a graphic description of the scene and the fumes arising therefrom. A reporter visited the place and found the facts justifying the statements. If Satan were to _ call a convention of the infernal legions for the pur- se of devisiug means of destroving the inhab- itants of ibe earth, that spot would be picked upon, and then an epidemic would be inaucurated sufficient to sweep three continents. Sewer water backed up into the cellar wwuere it has been standing for weeks fermenting with a mixture of all kinds of loca! filth forms a geuerator of gas which 1s intolerable, “The people oecupying the house have reported the condition ef the premises to the agent repeatedly, bu: spertas done nothing to remedy the evil. The Health Department has been notified several times with no better result. SUMMER EXODUS. F. R. Norris leaves for Chicago via the Wabash to-night. W. H.

Eckert Reported to Have Re- signed at Gould’s Request. —— te The Strikers Jubilant at the News--The Report Officially Denied--The Situation at New York and Elsewhere--Local Notes. F ' The striking operators were more fubilant and -hopeful this morning than they have been for ‘some time past. Watching. waiting and hoping for "some change iv the unrelenting attitude of the powerful corporation which they are fighting, they caught a glimpse of what ap- peared to be a litile straw flut- ‘tering In the — direction of their eager wishes and a ray of hope shone through a -parted rift in their black cloud of difficulties. reed bn afternoon there was one of those rumors caught up from no one knows where, and ‘passed from mouth to mouth, that the iron grasp -of the Western Union was weakening, and that the head and front of “no compromise,” in the person of Gen. Eckert, had been removed by the directors of the compang, as the first step toward ‘treating with the Brotherfood. This morning Manager Shaw received the following telegram ‘from the chief in New York: ey “New YorK, August 3, 9:30 a. m.—7To the Broth- erhood: General situation unchanged this morn- ing. There have been no desertions during the past twenty-four hours and the outlook is brighter than ever. The report of Gen. Eckert’s resigna- ‘tion lacks confirmation, but it is generally be- ‘Meved here that the peer of the company is about to be changed. Believe no unfavorable rumors. JOHN CAMPBELL.” This news was not very peaeeeites but later the following was received from Master Work- man Morris, of Chicago: “To the Brotherhood; e ‘The report of Gen. Eckert’s resignation 1s con- firmed. MORRIs.” These telegrams were flashed in every direction to the members of the Brotherhood. MASTER WORKMAN SHAW said that reporis received from every city in the Union show increased coufidence on the part of the _ strikers, and not a single defection, butinstead, a constant addition to the ranks. With respect to the report of Gen. Eckert’s resignation, he said that he believed it true, because the chief men in the Brotherhood had ample opportunity to learn of such a move on the’ part of the Western Union and: would not send out such information except on good grounds. He thought, moreover, that it was likely because Eckert had precipitated the strike and had placea the company in its untegable and unpleasant position. The rail- road meh, he said, had responded cheerfully to the request of the Brotherhood, at least the mem- bers of the order had, and nota letter had been received from any of them that was not favorable tothe call. The reason the refusal of these men to take Western Union messages was not much felt was because the telegraph business in the country had so largely decreased. Everything, in short, was lined with gilt on the strikers’ side this morning. , The birthday of I. V. Powderly, grand master workman of the Knights of Labor, will be cele- brated to-night at Twenty-third and Franklin avenue, and the telegraphists will join in the fes- tivities. An arrangement.has been made with Manager Short by which the Brotherhood will receivea benefit every nightgnext week at Uhrig’s Cave. A committee has been appointed to perfect arrange- ments and to have the benefit tickets struck off. AT THE WESTERN UNION OFFICE there was littl to record new or im- portant in the situation. Colonel Baker said that he had not heard the slightest intimation of Gen. Eckert’s resignation and placed no credit inthe rumor. He suggested laughingly that it might be a signal like the report of Gen. Grant's death. Hesaid he did not think it possibie that it could be so, because the Board of Directors had just passed a resolution indorsing Gen. Eckert’s course and they would not be likely to change their sentiments so sudden by. Besides, he said he had heara Mr. Gould say in his private car that Gen. Eckert was the best tel- egraph man he ever knew. Mr. Goula would hardiv change his mind, as he is not that kind of aman. Telegraphic adviees from the most au- thenticated sources in New York positively deny the truth of the report. Twenty-five Wires Broken Down. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, August 3.—The storm in this neigh- borhood has greatly injured the Western Union wires, and the striking operators are jubilant. The effects of the wind and rain on the property is best told by Mr. Bogart. chief of the wire de- partment and supervisor of the cables, who said to a reporter of the World: “Our busi- ness has been, of course, interfered with by the storm, and also by the wires which have been cut, I find out wherethe breaks are by a galvanometer, and can locate thé break exactly, always to within two ohms, or within about a thousand feet of the interruption.” Mr. Bogart then gave the reporter a list of the wires broken or cut throughout the city, and as far in other cities and States as he knew. From his ac- count it appears that twenty-five wires on the Philadelphia tine are down, and a number of Pittsburg wires. Four wires in Third avenue were blown down in the early part of the day. Two special wires belonging to Wall street brokers are also down. Five wires were biown down along Second avenue. Ten wires are down on Eighth ayenue and five below Twenty-third street. Four wires are wrecked on Ninth avenue and three on Sixth avenue. At.West New York copper wire was used to tie a number of wires together. At sixteen different poles south of the cut the wires were tied, and lower down, at fifteen more poles, the wires were found oined so as to effectually stop ‘the circuits. All ut five of the Atlantic and Pacific wires are re- ported to be working well. Mr. Bogart said, after fiving the list tothe reporter, **We do not require inemen to repair the damage done; our climbers, of which we have fifty-three in New York, can repair all the iniuries. We have not got the best of quality working, but there isan adage among operators that a ‘Plug’ works well with a plug; ifso, we may pull through. ‘Trouble was re- orted later in the day with St. Louis, Yhieago . and all western wires, and evening telegrams from chiefs in these sections came in announcing the cus- tomary “‘O K here; everything going splendidly.” Notwithstanding Mr. Bogart’s confession of the demoralized condition of the company; Vice- President Van Horn said: “I aon’t think the storm affects us toany degree. Every storm dis- commodes us somewhat. All the wires that were in any way injured are now repaired. i beiieve there were eight men who returned:to work.” And Mr. Humestone said that the storm haa not at ail interfered with the wires. The strikers baa amerry meeting, and much amusement was eaused by the reading of an extract 3 FROM THE POST-DISPATCH of July 31, headed “St. Louis OK.” Money to aid the strikers is coming in rapidly. The brokers down town are thoroughly incensed against the company. A large financial institution down town having several private wires sent notice to the Western Union that one of their wires was out of oraer and asked that it be repatred, The company returned the answer that it did not have a single lineman to perform the service. This was remarked upon as significant, in view of the statement put forth that the company was amply equ or an emergency of this kind. The Produce Exchange special committee, appointed to consider the feasibility of the Exchange éstap- lishing a system of telegraph wires of its own, will meet for the first time to-day. Members of the committee favorable to the project have made a careful investigation into the cost of erecting wires, and have ascertained that a system of five wires from New York to Chicago would cost ouly $500,000. It is said that this coptemplates a first class system in every respect. With r@gard to the instruments, it is said that most of the patents have expired and there will be no difficulty in pro- curing all the duplex instruments required. Gen. Eckert’s Reported Resignation. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispacch. New York, August 3.—The report tha: Gen. Eckert has or is about to resign the position of general manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company is generally believed, but at we office of the company Mr. Sink, the night m:tnager, said: “T have it from Mr. Somerville that the réport is nottrue. We knew an_ hour ago that the report was in circulation, but Ido not believe it.” Mr. Somerville is the gentleman in the employ of the eompany who has supplied the information for the reporftrs during the strike. Western Union Report. CaIcAGo, August 3.—General Superintendent Clowry received a telegram this morning from Cnarles A.

The Feast of the Dedication of a Small Chape at Assisi, Italy—St. Francis’ Wonderful Vision—The Indulgence that Attaches to the Day—Scenes at St. Anthony’s Church. Yesterday the Franciscan monks at the Church of St. Anthony on the Stringtown roaa celebrated one of the mést curious and extraordinary fes- tivals known to the Catholic Church. It was the feast of the Dedivation of Porti , which occurs on the 2d of August, also the t day of Holy Mary of the Angels: The Fran- ciscans’ church was. the- only one in which the festival was celebrated, and is the only one in which it could have heen held, owing to the very peculiar character of the ob- servance and the circumstances in which it origin- ated, which will be explained hereafter. On other occasions of this sort the Church cele- brates some mystery of the life of the Saviour, or of His Blessed Mother, or the remembrance of some sAint, and although an indulgence (which in the Church means a remission of the temporal punishment due to sin) may be gained, the festi- val constitutes the chief, part, and the indulgence is only meant to dignify the celebration. With Portiuncula it is exactly the reverse. THE FEAST is celebrated solely on accouut of the indulgence and is secondary to it. To understand the full meaning this the reader must know that a_i plenary indulgence, as itis calledin the language of the church, re- leases the soul for which it is gained at once from purgatory—if the soul _— to be there. The indulgence of Portiuncula is of a plenary charac- ter, and is gained, first, by making a contrite con- fession ; second, by ge areee holy eommunpion on either the ist or 2d of August; third, by visit- ing a privileged church, such as St. Anthony's, and saying a short prayer, usually five paters and aves. The belief held by Catholics and taught by the church is that, all the conditions being com- es with, every time one of the faithtul. visits he church during the prescribed time, between sunset August 1 and sunset August 2,and says a short prayer, a soulis liberated from purgatory. There were crowds at St. Anthony’s ail day yesterday. and, judging by the number of times the majonty of them went In, came out anc went in in, Purgatory must have been pretty nearly empty by dusk. Now it is in order to explain this extraordinary festival and its miraculous origina. Portiuncula is neither a saint nor a mystery, but the name ofa very small church near Assisi, in Italy, which, although of meagre proportions, has become fa- mous throughout the world by means of thaygnem- orable and what is considered most siugular favor St.Francis has obtained forit. St. Bonaverture relates, in his life of Francis, that he was always inflamed with a wonderful love for sinners, and spent most of his days and nights to find grace with God, through the intercession of the —— for unhappy and blinded souls. One church in particular he loved to lincer and pray in, and this was the Chape] of Santa Maria of the Angels, commonly called Portiuncula, and situated on the plains of the beautiful valley of Spoleto, about a half-hour distant from Assisi. One September night, in ST. FRANCIS HAD A VISION in this holy place. Christ, accompanied by His Holy Mother aud a multitude of angels, appeared on the altar and encouraged himtoask “a favor for the salvation of souls,”’ and he asked “that all, ‘who, having sincerely confessed, devoutly visit the chureh, may obtain a general induigence and fnil remission of their sins.”” The Lord hesitated tO grant such a_e great favor, but at the intercession of the Virgin vielded, and toid the Saint to go to Pope Honorious III. and ask the indulgence at his handsin the name of the Lord. He visited the Pope at Perugia, and after much petitioning and large opposition from the Cardinals the seal of Papal authority was given to the indulgence, which was, however, limited to one day of the year. This day was not chosen until 1223, when Christ again appeared to St. Francis and declared it to be his divine will that the induigence last from the vespers of the first day of August until sunset of the day following, and as an external ratification of the vision—it being the midst of winter—the Lord gave St. Francis three white and three red roses, “when a rose was nowhere to be found.” Aguain the saint, accom- panied by three brothers in religion, repaired to the Pope, presented the miraculous roses, told his Vision and the indulgence was confirmea next day in a )consistory of the Cardinals, when seven . bisbeps ye cummissioned to go to the Nttle chirch of Santa Maria of the Angels and there proclaim the indulgence on Aucust 1, 1223. This they did, the dedication ot Portiuneula taking place in the presence of an immense multitude. Ihe chapel could hoid no more than 100 persons, but thousands came every year on the Ist and 2d of August, and from sunset to sunset an endless procession of pilgrims passed in, said the neces- sary prayers and passed out avain at a side door. FOR MORE THAN 200 YEARS the indulgence’could be gained only in the chapel of Portiuncula, even by the disciples of St. Kran- cis. Pope Sixtus IV. in 1580 extended the privi- loges somewhat. and finaily in 1626 Pope Gregor XV., by abuilof splendor, extended the indul- ence to all the churches of the orders of St. rancis. Subsequent pontiffs conferred the indul- gence to churches of the Capucnins, Conventuals (Minorites or Black Franciscans), Clares and the. Religious Women of the Third Order of 8t. Fran cis; and in some countries, as in Bavaria, t pee churches in places where there is n ‘ranciscan order. , SECURE your help through the help wanted columns of the Post-DisparcH.

Theattendance was not as large as last Friday. The meeting promises to be very exciting, as members who kept open last 8unday and are now being prosecuted will endeavor to coerce those who closed up into an iron-clad agreement to keep open next Sunday. The officers of the asso- ciation predict that 1.200 saloons at least will be we eee — opeday. his morning Prosecuting-Attorney Claibo and Mr. Thomas 8. Hogan, who ts aahne for Mr. Dierkes, issued eighty warrants, asked for by the police of the. Mounted District, for the violapion of the Sunday law. Five of the cases from this district were against the street railroad com- panies. In the Court of Criminal Correction to- day the saloon cases against Wm. Bohn, Charles Uhrig, Fred Osterholf, ana Jacopo Neu. were called, but continued until the 10th inst. The ease of A. W. Straub will not be the first tried although it was the first docketed in this court, Mr. Straub proposes going out of the business. and it has por tsge od been decided tn give another case, which will present atl the points in dispute, the first place ou tue list of trials. The Last Warrants. This afternoon the last of the warrants for the violation of the Sunday law were issued. War- rants are in the hands of the sheriffs for all the saloon-Keepers, liverymen, groceries, street car presidents and newspaper proprie: ; ines paper proprietors who were Leahey Released. After investigating the story told by Leahey, the teamster arrested on suspicion of having killed Charles Phillips, the police this afternoon came to the conclusion that he was cam - innocent, and : ~ R AILROADS. — Three Passenger Rate Wars in Progress. _ —_— The Texas and St. Louis Bridges—The Open- ing To-Morrow—Crops on the Wabash and Missouri Pacific—Notes and Personals. It is a settled fact that about so often the rail- roads must have a flare-up at each other; they couldn’t rest content to live up to agreements if they tried. There is not an exception to the rule of finding fault with a competitor, and taken alto- gether the average railroad has a large bump of combativeness. The Keokuk and Northwestern has the northern roads broke up, because it in- sists on charging but $20 for the round trip on St. Paul and Minneapolis passengers. The cause therefor is laid at the door of the Chicagd ana Northwestern, and the charge of paying commis sion to scalpers who in turn cut the rate. Next- in turn comes the Lake Erie and Western demor- alizing interior Ohio and other easiern rates. Last evening the Wabash got its back up because the Illinois Central is paying commissions on Chicagotickets. ‘Make t rate $6 50,’ is the mandate issued by H.C. Townsend, G. P, A,, of the Wabash, ana the rate is made, _ This morn- ing the other roads met the cut and the chances are thatthe trouble will extend to Kansas Cit for the reason that the Chicago and Alton, which bas not paid “ae commissions, suffers as much by the cut asthe [Illinois Central. It will probably use its Kansas City line to bring the Wabash and Central to their _ larness. This morning at the Wabash office things and sayings looked and sounded as though the fight would be pretty bard fought unless the paying of commissions is stopped. Mr. Sanborn of the C. B. & Q., said his line would pay no commissions, but would meet the cut rate. Sam Knight at the Alton office said the Alton had paid po commissiou® and would not, but the Alton would carry its patrons as cheap as any other line. J. M. Chesbrough, assistant general passouaes agent of the Vandalia, which line the llinois Central uses from EMnghain to East St. Louis, said he had no idea that the L!linois Central would deny the paying of commissions. A further reduction is liable to be made before the day is over uniess Chicago is heard from. This time the tickets are all limited and the scalpers ‘ will have no show to work them. Col. Talmage’s Trip. Col. A. A. Talmage, general transportation manager of the Gould lines, returned from a trip this morning. He left St. Louis Friday night, July 27, stopping over at Sedalia part of Saturday, when the extensive yards and shops of the Com- pany were looked over and directions given re- garding the improvements’ being made there. He . went from Sedalia to Brownsville on the Lexington branch, where are located the Sweet Springs, which place is coming into great favor with the people between St. Louls and Kansas Cityasa resort. The fol- lowing day (Sunday) was spent at the Springs. He says the hotel was taxed to its utmost to accom- modate the large number of guests, but the pro prietors were fully equal tothe emergency, and provided well for the 500 people there that day. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdayand Thursday were spent inspecting the property of the company in Kansas, Nebraska and Southwest Missouri. The damage caused by the floods in Nebraska in June has been nearly all repaired, and the work has been done in a manner that will prevent any trouble hereafter from any ordinary flood, The crops ajl through Kansas, Nebraska and Mis- sourl, along the tines of the Missour: Pacific, never looked better. From present indications the corn crop will be ge 4 immense, both as re- gards acreage and yield. Farmers in Nebraska report that in some cases they have thresled over 100 bushels of oats from an acre.

The freight business of the Wabash has been on the increase the past two days. Col. Robert Andrews, general superintendent, says the in- crease in the number of loaded cars handled is fully thirty per cent. This is mostly grain. Last August the Wabash earnedin August $1,800,000, but it will scarcely reach that amount this month. Col. Hoxie, general traffic nanager, attributes the light shipments so far to the low state of the mar- kets, and farmers won’t sell only in cases where they are compelled by financial necessities. THE TEXAS AND BT. LOUIS. The great Paramore system will be thrown open to the pubtic its entire length to-morrow, an event which will be celebrated with much eciat. Last night a party of directors and others Jeft in aspecial car for the Arkansas River to see the silver spike driven by F. W. Paramore, secretary ot the company and son of the president. The party consisted of Leonard G. Mathews, wife and daughter, George D. Fisher and wile, 8. A. Bemis and wife, C. M. Donaldson, Mrs>J. W. Paramore and F. W. Paramore and wife. This bridge will open up a section of country extending from Bird’s Point, Mo., to Gatesville, Texas, a distance of 723 miles. THE ARKANSAS RIVER BRIDGE in particular is a very massive structure, and crosses the Arkansas River about seven miles in a northeastwardly direction from Pine Bluff. The river at this point is 1,542 feet wide and ithe cuwr- rent in high water is nearly five miles per hour. The bottom is very treacherous, consisting main- ly of running sand, necessitating great depth of foundation, from 60 to 70 feet below low water | mark, and the difference between high and low { water mark another 32 feet. The bridge being coun- structed 10 feet above high water, has necessi- tated cylinders of the piers, ranging from 102 to 112 feet. The total length of the truss bridge is{1,577 feet in the superstructure. RED RIVER BRIDGE. Red River has been a terror to bridge contract- ors since it was bridged the first time by the M., K Railway, near Denison. The bridge for the Texas and St. Louis Railway was constructed by H. 8. ee gy & Co, of St. Louis, and consists of pile trestle 214 miles long, the main bridge con- sisting of 60 feet, one of 250 feet and a draw span of 300 feet resting upon iron cylinders, sunk 70 feet and filling with concret>. he contractors + Pa professional divers to excayate founda- ons. WHITE RIVER BRIDGE. White River is known to steamboatmen as the best stream for navigation in the South, on ac- count of its great depth of water. The Texas and St. Louis Railway crosses this river at Clarendon, opened long trestle from 16 to 30 feet high and four miles long, and the main bridge as follows: Superstructure consists of two fixed spans of 150 feet each, and one iron draw span of 35s feet, resting upon iron cylinders filled with concrete, sunk to a depth of 75 feet. OUACHITA, The Ouachita River is subject to great and sud- den floods, the difference between high and low water being about forty feet. The bridge consists of a draw span of 255 ieet, resting upon a cluster of iron cylinders, and one and one-fourth miies of 4 pile trestle from sixtecn to thirty-five feet high. A pivot pier is sunk to a depth of eight feet, and the bridge is located one mile from Camden. SALINE BRIDGE. This river is navigable to wituin five miles of where the bridge crosses it. The bridge consists of a 150-foot span and three-quarters of a mile of pile trestle from twelve to twenty feet high. Notes and Personals. F. O.

More About the ‘Kids’ Camp” and the Cheap Pools. How Boys are Ruined--Teaching Them to Become Gamblers--The Crusade Against These Dens. “TIT owe the PosT-DISPATCH my thanks,” said a well-known citizen to a reporter this morning. “For what?” “Why, I read that article about the kindergar- ten pool-rooms yesierday afternoon. It set me to thinking. Of course I don’t want youto use my name. But I’ve ason just 15 years ofage. He is about at the stage when a boy puffs cigar- ettes and thinks he is a man. I exam- ined his pockets last night. I came across a couple of thick, short paste-board tickets,with mysterious numbers and stripes. Here they are, and I gness they are pool tickets.” **That’s just what they are,” *] thought so,” said the prominent citizen, with awink. “Now, my boy tells me that he has been down at this place on Pine street.” “The ‘Kid's Camp?’ ” “yes, I guess that’s the place. Hetold me, aft- er some urging, that Dr. —’s son, Johnny. brought him down there and that all the boys he knows speculate a little. He says they paste up all the base-ball scores and in other ways draw the youngsters tothe shop. I do not mind the little money he has spent or is likely to spend. But the real point of the matter 1s that HE 18S LEARNING TO GAMBLE, and that the habit may get fixed upon him. In fact, | would prefer that he would lose rather than win, forI Know from experience that a couple of winnings made by a young fellow will make him almosta confirmed gambler. He has succeeded once and this fact makes him belive that he can do it again. It is the stepping-stone to the kKenoand faro bank, the poker tabie and ruin generally. It is curious that the police have not done something about this matter.” When a Post-DISAATCH reporter’ vis- ited the ‘“kids’ ‘camp’ at noon to- day the place was running in a lvely manner. Several hundred of these two fortwenty-five cents combinations had been sold on the Eastern races, and the same smaft-looking young man had pos- session of the elevated plaiform and was booming the trade in the slang of the pool-sellers’ business. “Look at that field,” he wa vociferating. “Two dead sure win- vers, and first choice svld for only §3 50. Here’s the place to get your money back.” Officer Ed. Flynn, who walks the beat, says that the po- lice have the power to prevent avy selling to mi- nors, but that he has never been abie to catch the house doing any such thing. When the re- porter was in, however, there were over twenty -young feliows in the room, none of whom were over18 years ofage. The. boys, however, manage to buy through the ageucy of OLD “STIFFS” AND “STEERERS” mentioned yesterday. and in this way the police are to some extent baffled. At Balawin’s there was the usual rush at the noon nour, but the crowd was, if anything, not as large. The reporter was standing near a group of young fellows, when one of them sala: “D—-n ihat Post-DISPATCH, anyhow! Did you see how it suggested that it would be a good thing for the merchauts to call around here and take a look Some day? How would we feei if the old man should poke his nose in at the door and catch us taking our dinner here.” “He thinks ’ma dandy,” said another young fellow. “The boss is always giving me advice about avoiding bad company and making a man of myself. He does not think that I know the difference between a‘combination’ and a ‘mutual,’ and I'll bet the beer he never heard of such things.” ‘Look how No. 3¢is looming up,” said a third, referring to acombination ticket that was com- ing into favor, and the buys weut off to study the board preparatory to making a play. A genutieman who 1s well posted stated toa PosT-DIsPATCH reporter this morning that ascene similar to that at the “kid’s camp” had occurred at Baldwin’s during the week. e said that the mother of one of the young gamblers had gone in and raised ahueandcry. He stated that she had deciared that her boy was spending his time aud money in the place, that he was being ruined, and used other language of a like nature. RESPECTABLE POOL-8SELLEKS and pool-buyers all over the city are the most bit- ter opponents of these places where young men and boys are caught. Respectable pool-seliers ob- ject because it Injures the business, more than any Other reason. “I tell you,” said one of them to-day,” I was always in favor of licensing this business, and 4f putting the license at such a figure that it would cumpel the proprietors of such places to do what was right. In this way, ail this trouble would be avoided. The resuit of running these boys’ places, if the police do not interfere, will be to get the public down on the business al- together, and to ruin itand us. These places are run to catch boys only, for very few men would go near them.” One notable exception to this is the case of a well-known official in the Cit Hall. This man buys cheap pools altogether, and some days takes as much as §20 worth of them. He claims to have nade $2,000 in tois manner last year, and says that he is $1,200 ahead for the pres- ent season, Mr. Ulmer denies that he now has any connec- tion wiih the pool-room Known as “‘Kid’s Camp,” on Pine street. Hesays that he has disposed of his interest and gone out of the business. K Mischievous Boys. Where are the Third District police? Is a ques- tion often asked by passengers who ride on the Jefferson avenue line. Last night a Post-Dis- PATCH reporter Was enjoying the luxury of a five- cent ride in one of Mr. Maxou’s open cars. When just passing Morgan street, a volley of ‘‘commie”’ marbles came flying into the faces of the passen- gers. Scampering feet were immediately heard and that was all to be seen as to where the as- sault came from. The conductor stated that the bovs at the corner were in the habit of throwing all sorts of missiles into the cars of this line as well as the Morgan street line. Mud and rocks are often tarown, andonly afew nights since a lady’s silk dress was ruined by alot of soft dirt and greasy stuff thrown against it at that corner.

Bouet, the French commander, arrived at Haiphong on the 29th ult. to concert measures for a campaign in Tonquin with Harmand, the Civil Commissioner General in Tonquin, and Admiral Courvbet. THE DIFFICULTY WITH FRANCE, LonpDoN, August 3.—The Times correspondent at Hong Kong says that the negotiations between France and China im regard to Tonquin are ata standstill. The general opinion is that the ag- gressive policy assumed by Challemel Lacour, and the appointment of Tricou as French Minister to China was an unfortunate circuinstance, and that a peaceful solution of the difficulty is im- rossible. The Chinese consider that the rench are determined upon the annexation of Annam, and they desire to’quarrel with China. The French will be unable to operate until No- vember. The unhealthy season is affecting the young men among the French troops, and the hos- pitals are inadequate to accommodate the sick.

At 8 o’clock this afternoon the Mayor was waiting for some . official notice that the combination against him had dissolved. It will be remembered that when the “solid seven” first combined they took the trouble to officially notify him that they intended to smash his __ slates until such time = as he sent in oue that would satisfy them. Discussing tnis feature of the trouble, the Mayor said: “They had the majority; why did not they use it? I sent in the names of men whom I thought would make good _ officers. Ihad no personal friends in the list except my brother. If they wanted to defeat Mr. Bell or Mr. Turner, ~why did they not do it? J. H. Pohlman was a_e candidate for Street Commissioner. He had been a@ good officer and I sent his name in. It looked as though they wanted to force the burden of changing the heads of certain departments upon me, instead’ of themselves assuming the responsibility. I am waiting for word about this break-up of tne seven. If I receive it I will send in a slate.’’ “Will it bear much resemblance to the first one?” “It is not proper for me ww _ speak of that, but I don’t mind saying that there will only bea few minor changes. I want all my nominations considered on their merits.” SOME SPECULATIONS. From another source in the City Hallit was learned that in all probability Turner and Bell will be re-appointed, A. B.

In the absenceof Filley, there is aifich speculation as to the name for Assessor of Water Rates. Some wiseucres profess to believe that Stevenson will be retained in his -old office, and a pew Health Commissioner nominated.

The arrivals were again only moderate, but there were more natives and grass cattle of a quility better suited to the wants of Eastern buyers. Thin and common of all kinds exhibited a _ disposition § to drag, and prices ‘or these were weak and offish, although not quutably lower. Buyers were not disposed to invest in these as long as better cattle were offered. The most notable sale was made during the morning by Scaling & Famblyn, who of late appear to have a monopoly of good cattle; this was six loads of really prime native steers, which were remarkable for their uniformity in weight and size and especially so for the season. They were raised and shipped 4 a. FF. Doran of Bunston, Cooper county, Mo., and averaged 1,475 lbs when weiched upto Hent y Klop- fer, who paid $6 20 per 100 Ibs for the entire lot. Other transactions in native and grass Indian and Texas cattle were at equally as strong prices, the former bringing, in many instances, higher prices than prevailed the day before. Altogether, the market was in a most eneouraging condition, and the wish of all interested is that the boom may continue indefinitely. RULING QUOTATIONS.

THOSE wise men of Counci] are now known as the Scattered Seven, Mr. Vesuvius is sputtering, and the at- tractions to tourists, despite the proximity to cholera, are very great in and around Naples. Ir turns out that O’DonnEetL, who killed the Informer CArRgEy, is an Ohio man. Of course, We are only surprised that CARKY wasn’t an Ohio man himself. Tue striking dressinakers of New York City have. gained their point. The poor women are to have $15 a week, now, and are to be paid extra for night work. Good! WE congratulate the Mayor on his triumph over the Seven Conspirators of the City Council. Now let the business of the city be transacted in a business-like, sensible way. THESE be tough times on royal people. King CETAWAYO was killed the other day ; King KALAKAUA has been sued for stealing a deed, and the illegitimate son of the King of Sweden has turned up as a suicide in Chicago. Ir the fathers and motbers of the small boys who are being educated as gamblers at the kindergartens, known as Twenty-five Cent Pool-rooms, will unite in a petition to the Police Board, perhaps these dead-falls can be suppressed. Ir Mr. HARVEY SALMON is really a can- didate for Governor, he might advertise thé fact by writing a letter to Chaplain Brooks explaining his views on the intensely inter- esting subject of Prohibition. We throw this out to SALMON by way of a bait. —-———-_- -—- a —— Ir the street cars are necéssary to the health of the poor people who live in un- wholesome tenement houses in noisome al- levs, may not the radiant beer-gardens where the fountains and the bands play and the pretty geraniums bloom, have some hygienic merit? Let us pause and reflect. Ir is reported that Gen. ECKERT, the Su- perintendent of the Western Union Tele- graph Company, bas tendered his resigna- tion. If this is so the striking operators are making great headway. The resignation of . ECKERT would certainly mean a change of policy on the part of the company. SENATOR VEST, it is said, is being taken along with the Yellowstone ‘Exploring Ex- pedition” to entertain Mr. ARTHUR with his stories. In olden times it wascustomary for royal personages to maintain their private jesters, but the President has paid Missouri no compliment in choosing one of its Senators to play the clown in his summer circus, THE rebellion in the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico, has been suppressed by troops thrown in by railway from New Leon. A dispatch says that the authorities are much pleased with the facilities afforded for the rapid handling of troops by the new railway. It is evident that the revolutionists haven’t learned the art of tearing up railways yet. As soon as BILL CHANDLER heard of the election of PIKE tothe Senatorship in New Hampshire he telegraphed to President ARTHUR: “The Republicah party of New Hampshire is reunited, courageous and invincible.” Ever since the firm of Roacu & CHANDLER secured the contract for build- ing the new Government ciuisers BILL has felt the invincibility of the Republican party. VASTINE’S seven long-haired. sisters in the City Council have agreed now to vote for the Mayor’s appointments as they come— rejecting the bad and confirming the good. Notwithstanding that these individuals have had a taste of the public temper, we advise the Mayor to send his appointments in one atatime. If the Seven exasperated states- men get hold of the slate as an entirety they will feel inclined to smash it. ———— SE — ata atta ENCOURAGED by the pleasant obituary notices served out to Capt. Wess, a Dr. RICHARDSON, of Washington City, is prepar- ing to glide over Niagara Falls at the tail end of a bag of gas. It isdoubiful whether in the economy of nature the Doctor is of much consequence at present, but after he has had a friendly tussle with Niagara he won’t amount to as much hs a well masti- cated chew of tobacco. We are quite positive on this point... _ PHILADELPHIA has a Law and Order So- ciety devoting itself to the enforcement of the Sunday law against all places of resort in which beverages are sold. It also has a Liquor Dealers’ Protective Association, which has just caused the arrest of members of the other society for conspiring to obtain evidence by inducing bar-keepers to sell them liquor on Sunday. Between the two there is a vast amount of Sabbath-breaking, anda it is notorious that both in New York and Philadeiphia there is xbout as much - Whisky sold and drank op Sunday as ever. The most noticeable effect of the agitation is a . a rae m . Md a Neeeeeentll - ¢eeta Kentuckian anywhere in the world without learning from him that the best and most beautiful country on earth is the Blue Grass section of that State, and that it pro- duces the most beautiful women, the most stalwart and “‘high-toned” men, the biggest mules, the best trotting and running horses on the turf, and the best whisky that ever challenged admiration. But it has not been so generally known that a man must meet a Kentucky angler to learn that the only perfect fishing reel, the one as far superior fe all others as the ancient Da- mascus or Toledo biade to the flint weapons of the stone age, is made in Kentucky. Tnis fact, however, is now made known to all anglers through the présentation of a genuine MEExs ree! to President ARTHUR by Kentucky devotees of ‘the gentle sport,” To let such a distinguished member of the craft visit the State and depart without one wouid have left a blot upon Kentucky hospi- tality, and the gentlemen who gave it to him no doubt believe that, after trying it, he will cheerfully renounce all claims to reélection rather than part with it. . All the reels made by old Gror@s SNYDER, of Paris, Ky., are handed down as family heirlooms and money cannot buy them, but it is a canon of Kentucky faith that the skill of that venerated master has de- scended by Apostolic succession to B. F. MEEKS alone. lt is said that President ARTHUR first became *ucquainted with the Kentucky reel through Senator Vest of Missouri, and that it was prominent among the reasons which prevailed on him to assist at the opening of the Louisville Exposition. —_ PRESIDENTIAL DEADHEADISM. A telegram from Providence, R. I., informs us that the United States steamer ‘“‘Dis- patch,” with the ladies of the President’s family on board, has departed for Martha’s Vineyard, In other words, while the Presi- dent is off junketing with Pun SHERI- DAN’s “exploring party” at the expense of the Government, the ladies of the Presi- ‘dent’s family are using an United States war vessel for a pleasure yacht. The Presi- dent has a daughter and two married sisters who are in no sense a part of his household. They have, no doubt, invited some friends to come and enjoy a coasting voyage with them, and this constitutes “the President’s family.” Admitting that Mr. ARTHUR has the royal prerogative to seize and use Gov- ernment property wherever he finds it, what right has he to turn over a vessel belonging to the navy to the pleasurable uses of his daughter and his sisters? Therois no great amount of money involved in this, but there certainly is some principle. When JAMES BUCHANAN was President, his Secretary of the ‘Treasury, HOWELL CoBB, organized a junketing expedition down the Potomac in a revenue cutter. When Mr. BUCHANAN heard of the arrange- ment he declined to go and he notified the members of the Cabinet who had been in- vited thatif they accompanied Mr. Coss they would be expected to pay their share of the expense to the Government. The frolic was postponed. We are probably indebted to Grantism for this official dead-beating. When the White House was converted into a barrack-room the military habit of taking possession of anything and everything belonging to the Government and appropriating it to personal use came into vogue. The cavalrymen who had been helping themselves to Government ambulances, Quartermaster’s stores, etc., saw no impropriety in seizing a Government vessel occasionally and converting it into & pleasure yacht. When Hayrs came in he continued the practice on economical grounds—even to making a summer board- ing-house out of the Soldiers’ Home. Mr. ARTHUR is continuing the same bad practice. This is a Republic, and the Presi- dent has no claim upon the Government after his salary of $50,000 a year is paid. The royal practice of appropriating Government property to private uses is, after all, only gentec! theft. If the President will agree to stop his dead-beating practices, inlerited from his predecessors, we, will favor a bill increasing his wages to $75,000 a year. OUR SUNDAY. It is certainly due to the large and re- spectable element of religious people in this community that Sunday should be observed in a decorous and respectable manner. But a Puritanical Sabbath in St. Louis is alto- gether out of the question. The Sunday brought over to this country by the enter- prising Mayflower tourists is not adapted to our present civilization. This is the era of railways, street cars, blast furnaces and newspapers. It is an open question whether CoTTON MATHER, with all his austerity, would not, if he were a citizen of St. Lovis ‘now, admit that Sunday should be a day of rest and recreation instead ofa day of fasting, self-denial and prayer. We have in St. Louis at least one handred thousand people who toik for the bread that they cat and who know the bitterness of poverty and the unsupplied necessities which make life a burden. These people work ali week in unwholesome shops and factories. They go home weary at night to homes which are crowded—where the wash-tub sits in one corner, perhaps, the stove in another and the bed in another. Men who fight ad- versity all week and struggle for the food and medicine which keeps the life in sickly children are in, no mood to be placed in strait-jackets ant sent to jail when Sun- day comes, — In one of his rollicking. stories CHARLES LEVER says, speaking of the people of lre- scence aaeelaa ee ee +» . nee | « land, “the rich are as good as they care to be and the poor are as good as they’re able.”’ The rich man who lives in Lucas Place or Vandeventer Place can afford to be very good on Sunday. All daysin the week are holidays to him, ana when Sunday comes he can retire to his cool parlors and keep the day holy. He can invite his friends to visit him. He can dine sumptuously. He can have wine on his table. But where shall JEAN GROSJEAN, the man of the blouse, go on Sunday? The parks are inaccesstble to him and his little children. He cannot entertain his friends in his tenement quarters. He cannot wander up and down in the dusty streets. He cannot spend the entire day in achurch pew. If pérmitted, he might take his wife and bables to a beer garden. ‘There he might listen to good music, talk with his neighbors, spend a few pennies for beer and cheese, and breathe some fresh air. His children might look at well-dressed, orderly peopie, and catch glimpses of flowers tbat have kissed heaven’s breath even in a beer garden. Next day JEAN GROSJEAN might go to his work-bench. or his shop with a spirit more buoyant than if he had been shut up in a cell all the day before. Still the law says that the garden shall be closed, the band shall be hushed and the sound of the grinding shall be low on the first day of the week commonly called Sun- day. ‘The law says also that the cook shall not cook, the barber shall not shave, the street-car shall not run, the newspaper press shall not print, etc., on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday. And if public sentiment so wills one lawis as good as anothet. As a matter of fact, the public sentiment of St. Louis has never sustained a Puritani- cal Sabbath, and it never will. It may close the dramshops and the low tippling dens where vice hides from official eyes, but it will not close the places of public resort. There is no defiance of the Downing Law in this. There are twd hundred and fifty thousand people in St. Louis who will not consent to be placed in jail on Sunday be- cause somebody up in Clay county is afraid that somebody ir St. Louis will commit some offense if permitted to enjoy the blessings of personal liberty on that day. WuEN the work of investigating the short water supply is commenced care should be taken not to call too many scientific wit- nesses. It has been reported for a year or two that the machinery in the pumping works has not been kept in good order. Mechan- ics who have been about the works have al- leged that the valves of the big pumps were so located that they could not be reached for repairs. Occasionally a stick of cord-wood has been foundin the pipes. The engines are supposed toraise a certain number of gallons of water inso many revolutions. The revolutions have always been carefully recorded and forwarded to the Water-works office. Givan the number of revolutions the scientist could always tell how much water was being supplied the city. But with leaky valves some of the water. slipped back into the river. The city has probably not had the use of the water that it has been credited with vy the scientific engineers. Call some of the mechanics who have been about the Water-works for the past three years’ sustaining intimate relations with the big pumps. ACCORDING to the virtuous and veracious V ASTINE the seven members of Council who undertook to bulldoze the Mayor into divid. ing his official patronage with them, and who have blocked the wheels of the Munici- pal Government for four months, have col- lapsed. The solemn league and covenant has been abrogated, and the seven conspira- tors have been absolved from their oaths. “‘We have done all wecould,” says V ASTINE, who only asked for a Police Judgeship, “‘to improve the public service.” Having failed, the Seven. Sisters have concluded to hang their harps on the willow trees. They will weep when they remember Zion. ———— THE platform of the Pennsylvania Demo- crats is very long and it covers a good deal of ground. We observe, however, that it not only declares the Democratic party ‘‘the nat- ural foe of monopoly and the natural friend of the workingman,” but also insists on the enforcement of the sixteenth and seven- teenth articles of the State Constitution regu- lating corporations, railroads and canals. The Republicans of Pennsylvania have been asderelict in this respect as the Democrats of Missouri, and it is to be hoped that the latter will, in their next State convention, remember the vicarious rebuke administered to them by their Pennsylvania brethren. It has often been claimed that the lynchers down South have hada partiality for exer- cising their talents on impecunious white men and friendless negroes. The hanging of Captain W. D. PREssELL by a mob at Mayersville, Miss., demonstrates that Judge Lynch is not always a respecter of wealth and position. The Captain was a rich man, highly influential and quite venerable. He perpetrated an outrage on a little girl. The mob, as soon as satisfied of his guilt, took him-out of jail and strung him up to a limb, though he begged piteously to be let off. He offered each of the lynchers more money per capita than is usually paid for Republican votes in Indiana, but all to no purpose. The Captain’s brother-in-law, Judge Girrorp, is a member of Congress, butall this couldn’t save the wretch. ‘ A ST TE IT A YOUNG man from St. Louis, the city of the smoky atmosphere, declares that one may see more pretty girls in Sedalia fn one aay than he would see in St. Louis in six months.

New York, August 3.—The World, comment- ing ou the result of the New Hampshire Senatorial contest, suys: “The long struggle in New Hamp- shire came to an end yesterday, and on the forty- secund bailot Austin F.

Certainly he is not the man the machine would have selected if it had been allowed itsown way, and hence his election is a Rollius- The exhibition has been a disgraceful one. The impotent rage of Rollins when he found his political vassals in rebellion, his waspish attack on all who aided to. deprive him of the office he impudentiy claimed as his right, his assumption that the Independents who had opposed him were committing an outrage pgaines their party, made a pitiful exhi- bition. 1é intrigue of Chandier was even worse.

Thus passes away the New Hampshire machine, made up of cant and corrup- tion. Peace to its ashes.” THE SUN, The Sun says: “Both at West Point and An- napolis great efforts have been made of late years to stop the practices known as hazing. Whoever undertakes to haze now does it with a full knowl- edge of the risk he runs, Sometimes the tricks played upop new-comers are humorous and harm- less, but universal experience shows that any latitude allowed for the practice leads to cases of cruel and cowardly persecution. Even in col- leges where hazing retains a foothold itis the general rule that sophomores endeavor to haze freshinen, ut students in their senior years are supposed to ~have passed beyond the time for indulging in this prac- tice, if itis kept up atall. Cadet Hartigan’s pun- ishment is severe but not unmerited.” THE TIMES. The Times says: “The chairman of the Hill in- vestigating committee has decided that the in- quiry must come to an end after the cross-exam- ination of one more witness and the completion of the testimony relating to the heating apparatus erected in Chicago. This seems to be a wise de- cision. If Mr. Coleman has been prevented. as he says, from getting the facts by the continued interference of the secretary and the committee, to proceed further under the same conditions would be a waste of time and labor, and if, on the other hand, he has been given full swing, and has been allowed to goon a fishing excursion in all directions for evidence, the continuance of the in- vestigation would not, in all probability, add to = information already laid before the commit- ee. THE HERALD. The Herald says: “Charges were recently made in England that American cattle were infected with the dreaded foot and mouth disease, anda resolution was promptiy passed by the House of Commons forbidding the importation of cattle from any country in which that. dis- ease existed. This move, which has great- ly benefited English stock raisers, has seriousiy crippled our English trade, It bas caused heavy losses already among our farmers, who have vainly protested that our herds were entirely free from the disease.” THE TRIBUNE. _ The Tribune says: ‘‘We invite special attention to the manly and courageous paragraphs in which Dr. Haygood expresses his appreciation of the educational work accomplished by Northern money and Northern men and women in the South, and his contempt for the Southern senti- meut, which regards negroes as good enough to sell toand to buy from,to practice law or medicine for, but not good enough toteach. The obligation of Southern churches to the work of educating the negro is potpted out in words which come with special weicht from a man who declined a Methodist Episcopal Bishopric a year ago, and the Knowledge and spirit which intorm the whole, address are so sound and true that there is good reason to rejoice that Dr. Haygood is the general agent of the John F.

St. Lovuts, August 3, 168% To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Like many others, the first thing that I look for in the wide-awake Post-DisPpatcH is “The Peo- ple’s Forum.” Among other bright and intefest- ing questions which help to make interesting that column, I noticed the prudent question of a thoughtful subscriber who wished to know where he can find—in St. Louis—a reliable banking in- stitution, where a laboring man could deposit every week a definite percentage of his earnings. Permit me to say, for the benefit of such of your economical subscribers who may wish a litsle in- direct information on that subject, that when I visited Chicago recently, I found that the work- ing class, mainly Bohemians, had established among themselves a “Savings and Loan Associa- tion,” which has proved an unquestionable suc- cess. Learning wisdom from the disastrous panic of 1873, a few of them chartered the “Loan Association,” and every man, woman, boy or girl in Chicago, if they desire to, can become a mein- ber by making a weekly deposit from twenty-five cents up. The association is constitutionally organized, and every officer gives ample security before he enters into service. [he money then gathered was loaned on a deed of trust to the members, and by this means many of them. built houses, and secured the other comforts of an economical c tvil- ization. Being. a matey yy agent personally, of course I know human life and people somewhat thorougbly, and mv observation has taught me that no matter how large a man’s personal in- come may be, unless he has some definite econom- ical way of saving his earnings he will be entirely broke atthe end of the year. And in order that the young laboring peopie of: St. Louis may have a place where they can safely put the few dollars that are burning their pockets, the Bohemians of this city have determined to organize a savings and loan association, and in order to give the matter definite form and Consisiency they will meet on next Saturday, August 4, 8 p. m. sharp, on Buel and Marion streets, J.

But one cannot heip thinking how much nicer it would be if the Directors would take that extra $100,000 and pur- chase the block adjoining the park on Washing- ton avenue, and have the Music Hall on that wide and elegant street, where it would show to splen- did advantage. There is not room enough in the present arrangement to have the Exposition and Music Hall separate. The way they are panning itnow, there will not be room enou on the ground floor for the machinery exuibits alone. In their zeal for a music hall they seem to have lost sight of the Exposition entirely. The fact that it will be finer than other exposition build- ings will not compensate for loss of space. As It is to be a permanent building, and as there is no room for an annex, the Directors cannut atall af- furd to have the Exposition part of the building too smal, which will cettainly be the case if the resent plans are earried out. The people of St. yuis will feel terribly chagrined to find out, after utting upa ball-million-dollar permanent Ex posi- on Building, that it is not large enough w ae- commodate half of the exhibits. Let the Direct- ors look at Louisville aud Chicago, and take warn- ing before it is too late. GoRRo. A Saloon-Keeper’s Views. St. Louis, August 4, 1883. To the Editor of the Post-Dispa:ch: The Saloon-keepers’ Association make a great mistake in fighting the Sunday law. These men, who have grown wealthy in the business, simply give lawyers a chance to make money (bully for the lawyer), more they make the more they spend. The law is passed, as the Governor says, by two- | thirds majority. Itisvery evidentto distillers, brewers and swe Nene iy - that they are simply figure-heads, because enly for the Consumer there would beno use for them. Weare only a trac- tional part of the whole that make up an unknow- able system. Therefore we saloon-keepers who have not joined the «association agree that the consumers do the fighting. The retailer easily ~ sees that nis customers are More opposed to the law than himself, as ay honest saloon-keeper would like to have Sunday as well as the public for 4 day of rest.

The first race will, be called promptly at half-past three o’clock. NOTES. Peoria, at home, yesterday, defeated Ft. Wayne by a score of 6 to 3. The Toleao nine defeated the Saginaws yester- day by a score Of 6 to 4. The Red Stocking Park will to-morrow after- noon be occupied by the Prickly Ash nine and the Blutf City nine of Alton, Tl. James Horan, the catcher of the James nine of the College of the Christian. Brothers, was benind the bat for the Provision nine in yesterday’s game, and by his batting and general good play he con- tributed largely to the yictory. : Hanlan has made a curious bet with John O’Brien, alogman of Stillwater, Minn. O’Brien stated in the c¢champion’s presence that he had stood up in a rowing shell and addled it with one oar. Hanlan immediately of- ered a wager of $500 that he could not repeat the feat, which was accepted. The trial will take place to-day if the water is right. The statement in this morning’s Globe-Demo- crat that some of the salaries of the Browns as published yesterday were too low can be an- swered by saying that the figures were mostly ob- tained from an officer of the club, who ought to kuow what heissaying. In Jack Gleason’s case the facts are as follows: Gleason borrowed $209 from President Yon der Ahe. He would have been released sooner, but- Von der Ahe held him for a chance to get his money. When the Louis- villes came here Gerhardt had almost agreed to pay the $200 and give Gieason a salary of $1,000, when Jack begoteased for himself and took $1,000 altogether. 1¢@ Louisvilles then paid Von der Ahe his debt and took Jack Gleason’s receipt for ee a3 part of his salary. Mr. Von der Ahe says that if Gleason had not been too quick he would have secured him the $1,200, and he had the matter nearly fixed when Jack made tine contract. Deasley’s exact salary is $2,000 for a season of about eight months. He first agreed to come for £1,800, but afterwards demandea $200 additional and gotit. Besides this, the Boston club owed Deasley $300, which they would not pay because he came to St. Louis. Mr. Von der Ahe paid the money to Deasley and took his chances of collect- ing from Boston. He has not recovered the money 80 lar. OBTAIN rooms through the want columns of the Post-DISPATCH, twenty words for ten cents. AMUSEMENTS.

Pohlman and Dailey Discuss the Beer Mug Incident. A Post-DISPATCH reporter stood in front of the Court House at noon to-day and discussea the Killey banquet and the beer mug battle which followed it, with Mike Foerstel, who was one of the banqueters, and with John H. Poblman and Peter P. Dailey, who have seen many a frosty day since they missed one of Filley’s spreads before. The cause of Chris Moerschel’s attack on the “old man,” was touched upon, and the fact came out that Chris had an oid grudge against Fuilley, growing out °of the following facts: When Bob Allen was looking for the Republican nomination for Sheriff against Watson, the Demo- crat, in St. Louis county, Chris Moerschel was living out at St. Paul _ station. He was a strong supporter of Allen. Filley went outintoihe county and Alleu had no chance, and Moerschel, putting the two things together, has often since accused Filley of beating Bob Al- len. Thatis what be meant by not allowing Fil- ley to run him. “It’s all a mistake, however,” said John Pohl- man, “and nobody Knows it better than 1 do. Moerschel jumped on to me over at Bessehl’s one day about the same thirg. He wanted toknow what 1 was doing outin the county and informed me that I had better stay at home and attend to my own. business. told him that would go out in the county. whenever I d—d pleasea, and that there was no hedge fence between us. I Canvassedthe county that time for Allen. I went into a dozen saloons in a row and they all told me, “Mr. Watson isa good man. Llike him. He gives us plenty time on our licenses.” I found this feeling prevailing all the way through. I came back tw Allen and told him he had no chance. Filley, 1 believe, made up his nund in a like manner, but the statement that either Filley or 1 ever worked against Bob Allen is all nonsense and nobody ever believed it, I think, but this same Chris Moerschel.

Rodgers was one of the party who sat down at the table with Filley, Clover et ui., where tue row oc curred, and it 1s claimed on the part of Mrs. Boesch that the bill is yet wnpaia, and that Kodgers did most of the hammering on the tabie when the lager was orderea up each tinte.

The Experience of a Party of St. Louis Fish- ermen on Black River. Ot Saturday last a party of Second street mer- chants, viz: Messrs. Al H. Smith, Chas. Hoffman and Gus Biston, left the city for a two wecks’ camp and fish on Black River. Tieir commissary department, consisting in part of twenty cases of beer, 500 cigars, several boxes and barrels con- taing hard-tack, hams, bolognas, cheese, canned goods, coffee, sugar, etc., and a cooking stove, was sent down to Corning, Ark.,in charge of an experienced camp-cook provided for the occasion by Nienstedt, the Falstaffilan caterer of Vine street. Two teams had been engaged to trans- port the ouifit from Corning to the camp on the river. On the arrival of the party no teains were on hand, and, thinking the delay would be a trifling one, the hunting fishermen stucked tiem- selves liberally from the supply department and set out for the river on toot, which they reached after a seven-mile tramp through the woods and swamps. As soon asthey reachedthe river they went to work in earnest, and by sundown tbe party were out of bait, and had more fish than they could conveniently carry, the take amounting by actual weightto116 pounds of bass, jack salmon, ete.. Tirea out and bungry they started to meet their supply train. For five hours they tramped and stumbled along the river bank, and at last from sheer exbaustion they gave up and camped for the night. The next morning bright and early they were under way again, this time on a buntfor their supply train. Suddenly they were brought to a stand by the command “halt!” followed by the barking of a = of dogs. Nextcame the startling order. ‘“‘Throw down them guns!” “Hold up your hands!” The men tremblingly obeved. ; FOUR MEN, ALL ARMED, emerged from the bushes and proceeded to search their captives. After satisfving themselves that their prisoners had no other arms concealed about their persons, they ordered thei to “follow your leader without a murmur,” and wondering what was to be their ultimate fate they followed the leader of the gang a distance of about three miles into the densest part of the forest, wheré, on arriving at a log cabin, a halt was made. The prisoners wefe thorough- ly examined, as to who they were, when they haa arrived, and what their object in hang- ing around there was? Being apparently satisfied with the answers they receivea, hay were told that they might gointo the cabin and have some- thing toeat. Imagine their astonishment on eu- tering the cabin and seeing their entire stock of supplies piled up in one end of the building. tt seems from whai information they could gather from their captors—who, by the way, were pot hunters, fishermen, and kept a whisky shop in partnership—that they had met the supply train on its way to the river, and, supposing that it was the outfit of some refugee drammshop-Keeper light- ing out from Missouri and high license, with the ntention of opening up on their territory, they had run the cook off and confiscated the stock, and intended to hold on toit. To compensate the St. Louis victims, the entire party turned out for a fish, and by nightfall they had pulled ina suffi- cient number to fill a cracker box, which were nicely packed in leaves and _ for- -warded to Hy. Nienstedt, who received the ™ » in good condition this morning. The St. Re sportemen declare that they have had quite enough of Black River for this season, The party arrived in the city yesterday, but not one of them has sufficiently recovered from the hardships attendant upon the trip to warrant them in going down to business.

Country Delights Cultivated in City Homes. Lawns, Trees and Flowers an Essential Feature of St. Louis Domestic Life—How Grounds are Beautified—The Most Popular Trees and Flowers—What it Costs. Those who walk along the western outskirts of the city and note tow all the residences there have their pieasant enciosure or frontage of ver- dure, would hardly believe, so general is the pres- ence now Of this agreeable appendage toa town- house, that it is only within a few years, compara- tively. that these charms of country life have been introduced Into the city. “Fifteen years ago,” said a well-known land- scape-gardener yesterday to a PostT-DISPATCH reporter, ‘there was very little business done in my line. With the exception of Lucas place and Chouteau avenue, which then ranked as the most fashionable residence quarters, there were very few parts of the city where patches of green were visible. Flowers were to be seen here and there lu Vases, but they were of rare occurrence. In 1866 there were just two places here in my line of business—one on the corner of Park avenue and St. Ange and the other on Geyer avenue. They were small establishments, and the proprietors charged what they liked for their plants. Now there area number of large concerns, and the trade in lawn and garden establishments is regu- lated the same as all other lines of business, the rices being fixed, and the landscape gardener laving as much business individuality as the architect Who plans or the puilder who buiids a house.”’ ‘Yes, sir,” the artist-gardener went on to say, “to-day a handsome private yard is as essential a feuture of a cily residence as a handsome building ora richly furnished and ornamented exterior, and the beauty of the last two is greatly enhanced by the first; and yet there are many who takea long time to find this out. I was talking the Other day to a gentleman who has just finished a $100,000 house, and I utterly failed to make him understand that a few hundred dollars was not too muvh for him to spend on the grading, sod- ding and ornamentation of the handsome grouuds which surround his beautiful residence. He finally came to the conclusion that grass-seed scattered about the solid clay of his yard could su} py all the garden he required.”’ “What is done to supply a residence with a neat lawn anda beds of plants and flowers?” “The ground must be ‘handsomely graded so as to set off the building to the best advantage. Then it is sodded with Kentucky biue grass takeu from fields which we rent tor the purpose, and then comes the embellishment with shade and or- namental trees.”’ “What kind of trees are most in vogue?”’ ‘lo form the background, the tavorites are the maple, the Carolina poplar, and the American and English linden. Among the more ornamental treés are the English horse-chestnut, Kilmanrock weeping-wiliow, Camperdum weeping-elm, the Jingo tree, which, botanically is a link between the evergreen und decidous trees, the cut-leafed birch, and the Lombardy poplar. For the rich- ness and beauty of their foliage are employed the =e, tree, the mo Orange and the silver ome.’ “With specimens of these planted, I suppose your work is complete?” “Notatall. Then comes the shrubbery, and there is no department of the work in which there is more variety of opinons than this. People from the North are very fond of using evergreens, while those from the South don’t like them aj]. I have always noticed that Virginians are ep oaimegen 5 oOp- — to their use. Evergreens grow very plenti- ully in their State, and 1 suppose for this reason Lliey think they are too common to be used as or- naments. This 1s amistake, iowever, as, beyond the tact that they Supply a deep, strong coluring to the landscape in the summer; ln the winter, when snuw ison the ground, they are the only plants which relieve the barren aspect.” “What are the popular shrubs in this latitude?” “The rose of Sharon, the double alj- mond, white-fringe chionanthus, hydrangea roy eens grandiflora, the —_ililae and tine fire busu. OF the evergreens whicu find favor here, those most used are the America aud golden arbor vitae, the silver fir, Irish juni- per, seotch pine, Norway spruce and hemlock. n planting these trees itis always necessary to have aclear fogi ol Diack loam, otherwise they could never flourish. In.grading it generaily hap- ens that the top erust of loam Las been removed, euving the suiface of cCliy iu which these trees and shrubs wouid never thrive, aud in coming to terms with the gentieman who is having his grounds ornamented, the charge for this neces- sary stratum of loam is very often a question of dispute. But, though a tovt deep of loam is enough for the trees, it needs not less than four feet of it for the flower beds, which uext claim at- tention. The shape of the flower bedsis another question over which ihe landscape gardener and his customer viten disagree. We have our ideas, which are based upon education, and he has his,which spring from his own originality. Where there is nothing specially outrageous itn the ustomer’s idea we generally let him have his way Without question, but where, as is often the case it runs counter to all good taste in gardening, we hold out to the last against it. Generaily, how- ever, we huve to give in, fay there are few things in which a man is so tenacious of his originality as in the laying out of flower beds. The size and shape of the bed being agreed upon, the ground is excavated accordingly to tiie depth of three feet, and the hole filledin with the richest loam that can be obtained. More loamis then added until the bed is raised a fuot above the general surface ofthe yard. In new buildings the planting can be done, of course, at any time, but the general rule, and itis one which is by no méans as care- fully followed in St. Louis as it should be,is to piaut the beds twice ayear—in the spring and fall. it is the fall pianting which does not receive the attention here which i should, and its neglect deprives our town gardens of much beauty in the early days of spring, when the ligntness of foliage and beauty of flowers are so especially pleasing tothe eye. In October or November, as soon as the sutnmer flowers have faded, the ground shouid be prepared and planted with the Holland bulbs, such as the hyacinths, tulips, crocus and snow-drops. These wiil remain dormant through the winter, but early in the spring they will come up and remain in flower until the tine arrives to piant lor the regular sum- mer season.” “What are the favorite plants for summer?” ‘They are of two kinds, the flowering plants andthe foliage plants. Of flowering plants, the favorites here are the geraniums, especially the scarlet, heliotrope, monthly ruses, ip different varieties, such as the tea, Bourvon, Noissette, Chinese, Bengals and hyoria perpetnals. Then come the monthly carnations, tube-roses, cutanas lopelia, nierembergia and others. Inthe way of foliage plants the low-growing ones are used for carpet-bedding, such as the different kinds of alltternauteras and echeverias. Among the taller ones,which are better adapted for the larger beds, are the different varieties of coleus, Camas, cala- dium, centaurea and others. Ali these toliage- plants, especially the low-lying ones, can be laid out in any design destred. Among tile most pop- ular are butterflies, auchors, stars aud crowns. A bed planted early in the spring will last the en- tire season through, only needing clipping three orfour times during the season Ww retain its shape. Flower beds are often made very beauti- ful by planting in ribbon style. In this way or tua sections of different colors a ver fine effect is produced, which is enhanced. by a border of suitable low-growing foliage plants, one of alternate yellow and scariet bdelng especiaily striking. One of the handsomest borders is made of vierernberger or lobelia, intersected with the different variegated-leaied geranuiims,” “Creepers are being greatly used now, which of these are best liked?” “There are two kinds of creepers—tne kina which flowers and that which does pot. Of the former the favorite are the different kinds of honeysuckles, ne roses, the Queen of the Prairie and Baltimore Belle being very much ad- mired; the Chinese westerla, tue bditler-sweet, which is very popular on account of -the scarlet berry it produces. Among the creep- ers admired for their foliage aione are the Virginia creeper, which has ve been known,and a new one which is fast coming into fayor. This is the ampelopsis veitchii, which is remarkable as being the only creeper that will go up a Wall with- out beiug fastened. No matter how smooth the perpendicular surface offered it, its delicate but powerful tendrils nud holding places and the vine clings as tightly and is as immovable as those which are trained along supports.” On the subject of the cost of these domestic em- bellishments there is not much that can safely ve said, as the investment can only be regulated by the depth of pocket of the varty indulging his taste in the beautiful. To take the ordinary front-of-the-house patch as a basis, this can be neatly sodded with Diue-grass and supplied with a handsome circular flower-bed for about $5. With this kaowledge it wid not be very difficult to gauge the vaiue of some of the broad lawns and beéauti- ful floral devices which meet the eye at every step along Grand, Lindell, Vandeventer, and many other-of the fashionable avenues.

THE SALOON-KEEPERS’ ADDRESS. . Official Document from the Executive Com- mittee of the Association. The Saloon-Keepers’ Executive Committee at a meeting held yesterday, drew up the following aocument. It issigned by Chas. Bremer, Presi- dent of the Baloon-Keepers’ Protective Assovia- tion, A. Thoman, Chairman of the Executive Committee and Charles Schwecikarat, Secretary: To the Citizer@#Ot the Oity of St. Louis: The Executive Committee of the Saloon-Kee er’s Protective Association deem itto be their duty on the part of the Association to state to the ublic the position they occupy with relation o what may be termed ‘their violation of the Sabbath law.” The people comprising the association ‘are universally recognized as industrious, energetic, frugal and law-abidin citizens, .and have added to the materia weaith and prosperity of this country by their industry and frugality as much in proportion to their ability as auy other class of citizens in our midst. Much could be said upon the liquor question pro and con. The use of viuous and malt liquors bas been the sub- ors of legislation for many years, and its manu- acture, suleand regulation bas engrossed and occup:ed the attention of the ablest, most asiute and compre! ensive iniellects and legisiators on both sides of the question since the beginning of the Christian era, without arriving ut a satistac- tory solution to all parties interested. Itis not our province to discusstthe merits or demerits of this question. Our arguments, whatever they may be, would not satisfy the anti-liquor element, and weare consistent enough to believe that lhose citizens who disagree with us do so from the purest of motives, and are imbued with the idea that the suppression of the liquor traffic would 8 a panacea for all the ills tha the human race are heir to. We submit to thinking men how unreasonable and absurd this assertion is, and nevertheless we firmly believe that many of our fellow-citizens are imbued with that idea, and we honor them for their opinions, because we be- lieve they are conscientious and honest in them, and are magnanimous and cosmopolitan enough to believe that they themselves are not the salt of the earth, or the sumnum bonum of all conscien- tious honesty. That they believe that persuns who differ in opinion with them may nevertheless be as honest in their convictions as they are , and thus believing are tenac ous of such opinions and their rights as according to such convictions they believe to exist. And for these reasons we appeal to thatclass of our fellow-citizens to take into consideration that there are TWO SIDES TO THIS QUESTION, and we ask them not to condemn us unheard. or in other words give us the benefit of any doubt In he minds until the rights we deem to be ours 1as been passed upon by the people’s tripunal, the resort of all law-abiding citizens, the courts of justice of our State. We hear it frequently as- serted upon our streets that the saloon-kKeepers have lost many friends by their open deciaration Ww violate the law by keeplug open on Sunday. It is not by keeping open on Sunday that it is as- serted we have inst friends, but by publicly as- serting or declaring by the unanimous voice of our association that we will keep open. It is asserted that if our association had declared that we would not Keep open, and nevertheless by a tacit under- standing among ourselves determine’ to, and do Keep open on Sunday, we would not thereby have aroused the moral public sentiment against us, but that our infraction of the law would be winked at and our offense, if any, would be con- hived at and public sentiment would not be out- raged by seeing the law publicly violated. Now we ask our ieilow-citizens, as honest, conscien- tious men, which position is the most honorable and must m9 conformity with the conduct of law- abiding citizens? We determinedto keep open by the voice of the association—why? Because we believed then and now that we hada RIGHT TO DO 80, and we announced,we would do so because be- lieving the law justifNed us in so doing. We dou't inteud to do aught that can be construed as an in- tentional violtion of the law, and on principle and of right we determined in a public manner to apprise our fellow-citizens in an open, honest and straightforward way of what our intentions were, We believe now we are proceeding according to law, and we have in support of that opinion and beliefa decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri, and the individual opinion of emi- nent jurists and legal practitioners, mndepeadent and aside from the opinions givea to us by the attorueys Whom we have seen fit to employ to rep- resent usin court. It may not occur to the aver- age oitlizen that the position of the 5a- loon-kéeper 1s not a sinecure. We have our all at stake in our business. We know we conduct it in an honest and legiti- mate manner, and in conformity with the require- ments of the law. And we velleve we can say, without successful contradiction, that, as individ- uals, we are as honest and upright in all our rela- tions in life as any of our fellow-citizens, what- ever his elevation, position vr social standing may be. Itis not the business that makes the man, Itis the man that makes the business. And we contend you will find dishonorable and dishonest men engaged in every vocation and business of life; ana we won't for a moment contend that the saloon business is an exception, but we contend thatin our business we have as many honest, up- right, conscientious, HONORABLE, PUBLIC-SPIRITED CITIZENS as are to be found, in preportion to the number engaged in it, outside of it. By the laws of the State we are compelled in the conduct of our busi- ness to assume a heavy burden for the purpose of providing the revenue [for the State and city, and alter providing and paying that revenue we proe- ose the State and city shall, in accordance with ts laws and our mghts thereunder, permit us to carry,on our business without interruption. We don’t believe it to be the intention of the citizens of this city or State to put such barriers in our way as to destroy our business. Nor do we be- lieve it is the intention of the a 6g of the city or State to prevent any of its citizens in enjoying themselves upon any day of the week in the manner most congenial and satisfactory to themselves as long as they don’t interfere with the vested ments of others; and we furtifer be- | lieve that the great majority of the people of this city, while they may not openly approve our act because it may not be fashionable, do not con- demu our act in determining again by a judicial tribunal what our rights and privileges are under the laws of our Siate, and are secretly hoping that Wwe’ may win, because they feel that what may be termed our persecution to-day, if it should be quictiy submitted to, may be turned upon themselves to-morrow. Ali we ask is that our fel- low-citizens canvass in their minds the position that we oecupy, and determine for themselves whatthey woula do were they circumstanced as we are, and we Know they will agree with us that we are justified in demonstrating our rights, believing, as we implicitly do, that they do exist, and that we are taking the proper, open and man- ly courseto ascertain those rights by causing the question to be taken into court upon an open and acknowledged declaration rather than surrepti- tiously to defy or avoid the law in any questiona- ble manner, We submit our case to our fellow- citizens and ask them to withhold adverse criti- cisM On Our action uilil the courts pass upon the question whether we are right or wrong.’’ SURPRISE.

Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, KAN., July 25.—This is our first visit out on the Central Branch of the Missouri Pacific system of railways—a line running from Atchison to Lenora, a distance of 293 miles, with its steel fingers pointing westward to Denver: and our route thus far, where we have called our temporary ha't, has been one of mueh interest to us. Even by those gifted with descriptive abili- ties, Northern Kansas has been pen-pictured as a vast prairie, with only the works of man to re- lieve atiresome monotony, but the impressions received by your pilgrims, as we viewed the grouping of nature and growth, were both pleas- ing and instructive. Here and there we dash across a small stream with its wooded shores reaching back to the gen- tle swells of the rolling surface beyond, we cufve through shaded valleys and emerge upon large undulating plateaux, while upon the right and left wesee broad fields of the golden grain iu snocks or stacks, the spikelets and heads heavily laden with wheat, oats, rye or were and next, broad areas of corn waving thelr millions of leafy banners with nodding tassels like a plumed army in grateful heraldry of the coming crop. Near and far on the rich carpet of native grasses are thousands of sleek animals; cattle, horses, sheep, and hogs divided into berds, droves and flocks indicative of separate ownership, while [frequent groves stand sentinel and afford shelter for the comfortable farm-houses, barns, granaries, cribs, orchards, gardens and yards. To this picture add the glimpses of home and field Jabor progress- ing’ in their numerous forms and the occasional shout, whistle or song of the contented yceoinen which floats in upon our ears, the balm air, free fro ail maliarial taint but laden with the perfumé of flowers, shrubs and grasses—halt- Ing by the way at nearly a score of villages and towus—and you see with us a vast, rapidly pass- ing and changing panorama from our comfortabie car to the horizon in either direction, until, as the setiing sun began to unfold its robes of golden grandeur in the Western sky, we steamed into WASHINGTON. This littie city, the county seat, with a pone tion of 1,300, an increase of 363 since the patioual nose-counting in June 18380, is 120 miles from Atchison, 167 from Kansas City, 450 from St. Louis and 657 miles from Chicago. pieasant site, well developed agricultural surroundings, a liberal percentage of its buildings brick and. stone, in- cluding a large aud attractive overa-house of five hundred capacily, equipped with modern stage and sce.ic appliances, and a school property Worth $12,000, accommodating a graded school of e departments. Four church edifices, three newspapers—tiie Republican, Register and Post—a hali-dozen civie societies, three hotels, two banks, a post office business of over $3,300 exclusive of money orders, which foot up nearly $47,000; permanent improvements for the preseut year estimated at $60,000; an or- ganized board of trade by the business men; ex- Orts the past year, $425,000; a local commercial raffic during the same period of $750,000, and no municipal debt. Kastern and Western people (principaily the latter) have settied in and about Washington, and, as may be judged from the showing abvuve, are making for their chosen city a pume among the towus of Northern Kansas; and we would suggest for their consideration, not as absolnte Criticism, bUL aS Luoughts occurring to strangers, that their existing attractions as a town would be augmented by a public library and reading room, a voiuuteer fire department and some adequate provisiou for water in case of a conflagration, iu both respects being totally neglected ; a telephone exchange, which ought to incluae Greenleaf; ib better hotel building; a more active interes in their board of trade; a building association tor the concentration of savings and limited cap- ital to aid in building aud beautifying homes; and a Court House commensurate with the !mportance of the county and its capital. Ot the latter, how- ever, we learned that the prelimipary steps had already been taken for its accomplishment. This is the termijuus of a short line enyer ens at Greenieaf irom the Central Branch of the Mis- souri Pacific system, affording extensive market facilities over its own lines; aad, in addition, the effurt is bDeimmg made to secure this as a point of anotber road to run norti and south, and there seems to be no doubt of its early completion. We iearned that their principal markets were Kansas City, Cheago and St. Louis. We have enumerated thus caretully these features in detail, to enable us the more clearly to present to capital and skiiled labor the inducements and advantages for meeting their greatest and most prominent neces- sity, that of HOME MANUFACTURING. - The extent of those now here are two flouring- mills.doing a mixed mereantile and custom trade, a marbieworKks and a brickyard; while,with a large wheat product, copsuming and shipping demand beyond the present possible capuciiy to meet, there is no reason why a large merchant flouring mill would not be a profitable iuvestment. The large number ot cows tributary to this place and the rich grazing for their snppers. invites a cream- ery, and its projector would find thisa paying business. The immense quantity of surplus corn after providing for the beef and pork raised for market, suggest the manufacture of hominy and stareh for the Western market—an Interest well worthy of investigation—and we were told by a gentieman of this city that he would give person- ally $100 bonus to any reliable party who would undertake the manufacture of starch,and believed there were many others who wouid do likewise. The canning of vegetables, of which large quan- tities of superior quality are annually going to waste, is a plain necessity. A small packing- house to cut and cure the meats requived for home consumption would require but a small tuvest- ment and pay handsomely, aud a foundry and machine-shop equal in capacity only to the local demand invites considerate attention. The tributory elements for ali these are apparent, and this littie city has a future of great promise, GREENLEAF, on the Central Branch of the Missouri Pacific System,is a younger town, but having the ad- vantage of being a division point for terminal train service, official headquarters, with round house, repair shops, etc., through whose ere about twenty-five hundred dollars is distributed mouthly. It shows — linprovement, the build- ings generally ge ol the eheaper class, whic must nn give way to more substantia architecture. he Kansas extension of the Diagonal Railway is an object of wistful longing with them, and we dare not say they will fail to |ovtain it, aud know of .no reason why the shouldn’t. People from thé Western’ Middle an Eastern States, pumbering about seven hundrrd, comprise the population, having doubled the 525 shown in June, 1880. Here, too, the place and opportunity § is presentéd for gsub- limating home products and supplying a local and surrounding consumptive demand, They peed a flouring mill, need it badly, a brick ard, an abundance of good inaterial anu a stead- hy increasing demand trom the rapid growth of the tuwn, a creamery—cows plenty and no compe- tion—a canning estublishu.ent, and the manufact- ure of hominy and starch, here, if the prefer- ence should given to other ijocalities in the county,and a packing house, our redsons for wiich have been given above and apply wiih equal furce should this place receive the prefer- ence for investment. At present there is only a small wagon and carriage manufacturing estab- lishment to represeut their tndustrial interests, where promimence in ail those named could easily attained. As a nucleus inviting men and money there is a graded school of two departments, property val- ed at $3,000, three churches, two newspapers, hree civic societies, a hall for public entertain- ments that can seat 250, three hotels, one special- ly good, a private bank to be converted into a national this coming fail, a local trade the past year of $400,000, permanent improvements for 1883 valued at $40,000; an ex- port showing the past year of $175,000; a buildin association, and a company organized for coa minng and the genertl development of this interest, believing as they do that portions of Washington county are underlaid with fuel, They should organize here, too, without delay, for detense in case of fire. We like the bustle and air of business which pervades this littie burg, and doubt if we would know the piace should we not return for the ensuing five years. We will give ouly a condensed glimpse at the country as tributary to these commercial centers, and invite the interested reader to come and see more than we have the time or space tw tell in writing. WASHINGTON COUNTY is the fifth west of the Missouri River, op the Nebraska line. Population’ in June, 1880, was 14,910, now fully 17,300, There are one h and twenty-five public schools, two railroads, the central branch of the Missou | Pacific and St. Joe and Western division of the Uuion Pacific, Its area of 576,000 acres is gently roiling, with the northern aid ceutral partsomewhat broken and hilly; a rich. warm, alluvial loam, heavy clay sub- soil with sub-stratas of sand,rock and aha The products in order of their importance a axe respective yields are: Corn forty bushels, oats forty, rye twenty-five, wheat sixteea, the ¢ this year, all around, being above the given, realized and prospective, Other er ” of good yield and reliable, including all kinds of vegetables, Apples, grey cherries and all smail fruits, except currants, are of excellent quality and ibrive nicely.

Sheep cultare ts re- ceiving commendabie ai tention, there being about 25,000 in the county and a constant effort to im- prove grades in botn fine and coarse wvuol. airy interests, as we have intimated, are much hegiected, there being oniy oue creamery in the county. This isan excellent county for stock, for, not only are the grasses and climate par excellence, but the area is well waicred by the Little Biue River, Mili, Peach, Parsons and Corn Creeks ana their numerous tributaries, along the banks of which is found the usual varieties of hard wood timber. BUILDING MATERIAL. An excellent quality of limestone found, brick and pottery clay, and abundant, besides deposiis of vp- sum on} Biue River and Mill Creek, Indica- tions and a of coal have been found, but as yet no developments sufficiently reliabie or tangibie for publication. The county indebtedness we find to be $40.500 até per egnt, aud the general taxes fourteen and a half mils, exclusive of towuship and school dis- tricts Farms are valued at from 810 to 824 per acre and lands at from $6 to $12, wecording to iocation, surroundings, etc. With the average rain fall of from 22 to 23 inch- es accreaited this county by the State Deparimeugs of Auricuiture, and the aggregate of its natural and developed advantages, we Know that it tn- Vites immigration, and believe it extends induce ments forlegilimate manuiacturing.

The extensive use of these PILLS by emineut physicians in regular practice, shows unmistakably the estimation in which they are held by the medical profession. These PILLS are compounded of vegetable sub- | stances only, and are absolutely free from mel or any other injurious ingredients. . 2 Sufferer from Headache writes:— *AYER'S PILLS are invaluable to me, and are my constant companion. I have been a severe sufferer from Headache, and your PILLS are the only thing I could look tofor relief. One dose wil! quickly move my bowels and free my h«4d from pain. They are the most effective and easiest physicI have ever found. Itis a pleasure to me to speak in their praise, and Ialways do so When occasion offers. W.L. Paces, of W. L. Paar & Bro,” Franklin St., Richmond, Va., June 3, 1882, The Rev. Francis B. HARLOWE, writing from Atlanta, Ga., says: “For some years pastI have been subject to constipation, from which, in spite of the use of medicines of various kinds,I suffered increasing inconvenience, until some months ago I began taking AYER’s PLLLs. ey have entirely corrected the costive habit, and have vastly im- proved my gencral health.” AYER’S CATHARTIC PILLS correct irregularities of thé bowels, stimulate the appetite and dizes- tion, and by their prompt and thorough action give tone and vigor tothe whole physical economy. ‘ PREPARED BY Dr. J.

Milwaukee special to the N. Y. Evening Telegram. lt has just been made @ubiic through the coluinns of the Sentinel that leprosy prevails to an alarming extent among the Norwegians in the northwestern portions of Wisconsin. As far as has been ascertained the loathsome disease has confined its ravages to the Nor- wegian inhabitants, but its rapid spread has been viewed with much alarm. Crossing the Mississippi River it has fastened its fangs on the population in Eastern Minnesota, until now Wisconsin and Minnesota in the dis- tricts indicated constitute one of the four great head centers in the United States from which the contagion is radiating in tie Western Hemisphere. Wisconsin, Louisiana, South Carolina, Mexico,jBermuda, Carolina and the Sandwich Islands are considered the inost affected districts. It is professed by medical men that unless measures are taken soon this State will be afflic.ied terribly by the encroachments of the disease. A prominent physician of Milwaukee said yesterday: “‘As has been well known fo! some time, there exists aniong the Norwegian population of this State a large number ot | cases of the disease whichis now the scourge | of the people of the Sandwicu Isiands, and which was looked upon by the pevple oi Biblical times with such dread and merited abuorrence. In searching the records of the State Board of Health [cannot fiid that effort bas as yet been made to sto) its spread or limit its introduction. The disease in question is eminentiy coutagious, and is not only carried. by actual contact of a heaithy AYER’SPILLS. person with a ieper, but may be acquired irum hotei towels and lixe things. ‘In the course of forty vears, or since the time of its introduction into the Sandwich Isiands, it has spread with so much rapidity that at this date at ieast10 per cent of the peopie of Hawaii are rend red untit for any kind of occupation, and are debarred entire- ly from any and all social lie; at the present there are four leprvous centers in the United States, pnamely—Eastern Minuesota ane Northwestern Wisconsin amoug the Norwegians, California ainong the Cilnese, and Louisiana among the Inaians of-the Northwest. ‘that the disease is spreading among us and that, tuo, with comparative rapidity, cannot for a moment be doubted, and it would seem that the time had come for loca! and national action to prevent its further in- troduction and further spread. To anv one who wiil taxe the trouble to investigate this inatter the results will not only beof in- terest, but wil) be alarming, as the matter is one of interest, nut only to the medical pro- fession but tothe world at ijarge. I think that the attention of the public should be drawn toit. l hope that proper actidn may be taken through public legislation to blot out this most disgusting dlsease from the State at least, and perhaps, eventually, from the whole nation.” Jc.ivs E.

Strayed Away. From the Vetroit Free Press, The young man with two watch-chains across his vest boarded a Woodward av- enue car at 11 o’clock yesterday forenoon. Among the passengers was an old woinan who had been inguiring about taking the Bay City train at tne crossing. She looked across at the young man with great interest for a minute or two and then said: ‘Your time must be very valuable, young man.” ey a giv bowed and mumbled something which she could not catch, and leaning forward she asked: “I s’pose one o’them watches is for when you go down, and the otheris for when you come up, 6! ?”’ : He shiftcu around to look out of the win- dow, and seeming somewhat vexed at his wanf of courtesy, she continued: “Seems to me it would be cheaper to hitch an eight-day clock to your shirt bosom. _ He didn’t reply to that, either, and tapping im on the knee with the handie of the um- | brelia, she inquired: “Young man, 1 want to catch the Bay City train.” ee \ ‘ 3 m.”’ “What time is it by all your watch chains?” ‘‘I—j—about 11!”’ he stammered. “You didn’t look. Come, now, here’s an old buli’s eye that’s been in the family forty- eight years and never had an ined of brass chain hitched to it. L'il bet. it shows the right time nearer than anything you've ot.” She hauled out a watch almost as large as a saucer and rattled it around and waved it about, and ag he slid along the seat towards the door she continued: I'd let them chains run down and hitch to vour boot-straps! Any young man as will go and toggle himself all up and criss-cross his vest with chains and spangles must have got strayed away from some twenty-five cent store and wants to be identified and returned.

Mrs. Scharlieb, who highly distihguished herself i: the medical examination at Lon- don University, was received by the Queen at Wiudsor last Thursday afternoon, before taking her departure for Madras, where she intends to practice as a physician. Mrs. Scharlied had lived at Madras for some years before coming to Engiand to enter the London School of Medicine for Women with a view toenhancing the qualifications she already possessed for medical practice. On the cou pletion of her sehoe! course she took the scholarship and gold medal for midwifery at the exaniination of the London Univer- sity, as wellas honors in medicine, forensic medicine, and surgery. During her interview with the Queen, ber Majesty made many inquiries about the con- dition of the uative female population of India, and was much interested in what Mrs. Scharlieb was able, from personal experi- ence, to tell her as to the need for medical women in India. At the con‘lusion of tie visit the Queen presented Mrs. Scharlieb with her likeness, and desired her to tell the women of India of all classes that “she was much interested in hearing about them, and that they had her fullest sympathy.” - D.

PENSIONED IN ENGLAND, The Services to Literature of Prince Lucien Bonaparte. From the London Times, In the House of Commons yesterday, July 13, Mr. Creyke asked the First Lord of the rreasury whether it wasa fact that out of the annual sum of £1,200 at the disposal of tier Majesty’s Government, for the purpose ol granting pensions, a pension of £250 had been granted to Prince Lucien Ronaparte; aud, if so, What services he had rendered to the Crown and the country to entitle his Highness to so considerable a grant of public money. i, Gladstone said that he had no hesita- ‘tion in saying that Prince Lucien Bonaparie had, in bis opinion, readered very great ser- Vices tu literature indevd, and not only so, but precisely the very services for which these pensions were specially granted. These seryices were philological services, which were indispensabie to the effective prosecu- tion of the history of human thought and buman aifairs. . At the same time, these ser- Vices Were of a kind which the publie, as cus- Lowers lor the works, did not reaunerate. He would give a singie illustration of that fuct. Atthe present moment—-it was prob- ably Kuown to the House—there was- in preparation an important extension of the uictlonary of the Euglish language on a scaie quite unknown to previous research. lhere they were dealing with a great philo- logicai work which did teil on immediate Study, avi notwithstanding it had been fuund impossible to tind any publisher to un- dertake tue respousibility of producing it. What, then, must nave been the wors of Prince Lucien Bonaparte, which consisted of a minute luvestigation and collection of the vriginal rudimeutary facts out of which all Knhowledv’e tora dictionary was necessarily obtained ? duce wuuse should know that Prince Lu- cien Bonaparte tad spent his life mainly as a British subject, and devoted himself tu the purposes of philojogical inquiry, and had spent from time to tlue considerably larger sums tha. that he was likely to recelve from the trifling amount granted to him [near], not only in connection with, books, but largely to printuung books, and in the gratuit- ous distribution of them tu all students of philology. He would give the House a few tacts as to the lavors of Prince Lucien Bonaparte. Among them was the printing of tie Gospel of St. Matthewin twenty- nine different languages, for the accuracy of every one of Which he was persunaily re- sponsible; the printing of the song of the Three Children in eleven dialects of the Basque language, the printing of tue parabie of the Sower tv seventy-two Eurupean lan- guages and dialects. The House knew the amouutof Jabur and researci which com- parative phiiology to this extent must have eutailed. About thirty years ago Prince Lucien Bonaparte received his doctor’s de- gree at the University of Oxfurd, and there Was nola country in Europe whose honora- ble distinction has not been awarded to him. ‘nally, as to the cunsiderabie amount of the grant, he would say that the estimate fora inan of 70 years oi age was £1,600. He couid only say that whiie he did nut shrink from any responsibility Which might aitach lo the zrautof this pension, he was sorry, aud he tlovk shame to imseli for not having awarded it atan earlier period of this dis- tinguished man’secareer.

A statistical report lately addressed to the Russian Minister of the Interior estimates the damage done by the wolves in forty-five European governments of Russia during the year 1873 at 7,500,000 roubles. The Govern- nent of Samara was set down as the great- est sullerer, to the extent of 650,000 roubles. Next came Vogolda at 560,000 roubles, and so on.

Communication to the Cincinnati Enquirer, One of the most remarkable men in the United States Senate of the olden time was Col. Thomas H. Benton, with as many faults of character and as many good traits as any man that ever held a seatin that body. He was Ditter (perhaps malignant is the better word) in his polities, and neither wished nor cared to have friends who disagreed with him ir. his politicat faith. By marri he was connected with Henry Clay, and was the intimate friend of the great orator. Facts growing outof the Presidential contest of 1824, when, through the vote and intiuence of Mr. Clay, John Quincy Adams, a minority cgndidate, was elected President by the House of Representatives over Gen. Jackson, who received the highest electoral vote, the friendship between Benton and Clay cooled, and the part Benton took ia the great canvass of 1828 against Adams und Ciay broughta hatred between them that never healed. At one time Col. Benton, espousing the quarrel between his brother, Jesse Benton, and Gen. Jackson. they became Uitier eueunes, aud Nad a street fignt, and to the day of his death Jackson suffered from a bal! in his arm from Benton’s pistol. They became friends. Benton was too much of a man not to espouse the cause of lis brother, and Jackson could not in his heart biame him for so doing. Once this quarre!, @u:ing a how debate, Mr. Clay aliuved to, when Ben- ton promptiy replied: ‘‘I‘rue, we quarre.ed, aud we fought like men, and became triends without leaving any pajourned question of veracity between as,” aliuding to a former dispute between Adams and Clay, in which the latter made sta.eiments regarding Mr. Adams while one of the Commissioners to suttie the terms of peace with England at Ghent, in which Mr. Clay charged aim with an attempt to barter aw2zy the free naviga- tion of the Mississippi River, and which Mr. Adams indignantiy denied. Clay, in the con- troversy, prolessed to ve able to prove it by one of the Commissioners not then in the ing so at some future date. This was the last of it. Between Webster and Lenton, except acri- monious debate in the Senate, there had been no quarrel aud no persoval intercourse. For years as members of the Senate, day after day, they passed each other without recog- uition. Beuton, except to his iniimate friends, was ullsociail, He would not speak 10 a doy if the,animal belonged to a yan he did not like, At the time of the explosion of the then largest cannon, called the Peacemaker, ever cast In the United States, Mr. Benton was on board the Princeton with a party to wit- ness its being fired, on a trip down the Poto- mac. It was during ethe administration of President Tyler. ‘The vessei was crowded by the Presidential party, by members of the Cabinet and ef Congress, and bv the leading men and women of Washington. In giving an account of the affair, Col. Benton said he was standing near the gun,in the best possibile positiun to see the effects of the shot. Suddenly some one touched bim on the sh ulder who wantea to speak to him, and he was elbowed out of the place and another took it. The gun was fired and burst, deal- ing death and destruction ali arvund. Ex- Gov. Gilmer of Virginia, th-n Secretary of the Navy, who stood where Benton stood but & moment before, was instantly killed, as was also Abel P. Usher, the Secretary of State; Mr. Gardner, the fatuer of the lady who was afterward Mrs. ‘lyler, and others of prominence. ‘Lhe scene had a great effect on Senator Benton, who by the concussion was ihrown to the deck, but not materialiy injured. He then realized that if the Almighty would forgive us Our trespasses we must those who trespass against us, and he determ.ned to be reconciled tu those he had been at outs with, and Daniel Webster was amoung the first to whoin Benton tendered the olive-brauch of peace. Mr. Webster, in describing the scene, said Mr. Benton told him thatit seemed as if that touch on the shoulder, a moment before the gun was fired, saved his life, by drawing him away from that which would have been instantaneous death, and that tact had changed the whole course of his thoughts in life. ‘He felt,”’ he said, ‘“‘as if he was a different man, and he wished. in the first place, to be at peace with ali those with wh im he had been at variance, and so, Mr. Webster I have come ty you. Let us bury the hatchet.” Of course Mr. Webster re- sponded to the invitation. ‘The oid political enemies shook hands, and ever aiter their intercoursé was cordiai and pieasant. And, in relating this experience, Mr. Webster added that there Was no man in the United Siates Senate of whom he could bave asked a reasonable or proper favor with more assurance. of obtaining it than from Col Thewas H.

An important State trial! has recently taken place at Ranguon. A Shan Prince so- journing in British Burmah being prosecut- ed at the Sessions for murder, demurred to the jurisdiction of tne Court, averripg that he was invested with the power of life and death over his subjects and retainers, and had, therefore, committed no crime under his law. The British Court vf Rangoon, aviding by the Indian Pena! C de, overruled the demurrer, and he was tried and found guilty. The case has since come on upon appeal before the Special Court, which, how- ever, confirmed the finding, and the sentence of death. Curiously enough, the view taken by-the Prince of his prerogative appea 8 to excite sympathy in organs representing na- tiveopinion. The paper called Reis and Rayyet, for example, observes that “it may readily be beiieved that as a Shan chief the accused thought nothing of cutting down one of his Shan fo:lowers who had done wrong, andtuat he honestly believed in his right.” The writer adds that the “argue ment of the Appellate Judges is far from convincing, and is worth nothing in a court in Asia.” On these grounds a hope Is exe pressed that ‘Mr. Crossthwaite will see his way toa reprieve,” or, failing this, that**the Viceroy will come to the rescue.” CHoIce brands Whiskies and Wines for family and medical purposes, by the bottle or galion Delivery free.

The Blevators in St. Louis Hotels and Business Blocks. -— — What They Cost, the People They Carry and the Speed They Attain—The First Hydrau~ lic Elevator—Accidents that Have Occurred Here—Other Facts. “There’s nobody has so many ups and downs in life as the elevator-boy,” said a tall, florid-faced and jovial sort of gentleman who was one of about fifteen passengersin thecab,and who iaughed very immoderately at his own joke, while some of the other passengers smiled anda few laughed. The elevator-boy’s face did not betray the slight- est emotion; he kept on reading the story of “Squint-Eyed Bob” in the Stovepipe Companion, just as if nothing had been said. The tall gentle- man felt hurt and got off at the third floor, with his mind evidently made up never to waste a good thing on such a desert air again. When the Post- DISPATCH reporter, who happened to be in the cab when the joke was wasted, was comilg down, he asked the boy why he had paid noatten- tion to it. ; “Oh, psbaw!” he answered, “I’ve been hearing that thing a@ thousand times a day for four years. “Huve you been that long sailing up and down this shaft?” the reporcver asked. “Never missed a day since I first took hold in September ’79,”” said the boy, proud of his clean record. ‘How many trips do you make a day!” “Between two and three hundred; Keep her go- ing ali the time.” “And carry how many passengers?” “From one to twenty-five or thirty.” “What’s your quickest trip up?” I’ve gone from the ground floor to the sixth story in nine seconds, but withoutany passengers. The average, though, is from one to two minutes.” All these answers were given by the elevaior- boy without scarcely lifting his eye from the story- paper infront. With his hand against the side of the cab. he mechanically stopped and started the cab, or set the annunciator without looking at it, everylime a nuinber dropped. Like all other ELEVATOR BOYs, he seemed to be a deep student of sensa- tional literature, and one of these days will, probaovly, be buckling on his horse-pistois and stowing a_ boewie-knife in his beot leg prearatory to going west to slay What few miserable, starving and peaceable in- dians are leit in the country.
