Three Bureau Drawers in a- Back Room which Contained $250,000—Imported Voters and Their Work—Dorsey and Chauncey l. Filley Managing a Campaign—More Revelations About the Garfield Campaign. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, August 10.—The persons named by Dorsey in the interview published yesterday were interviewed to-day. Edmond Stephenson is a machine politician, and is known and referred to at Castle Garden as Barney Bilgin’s representa- tive in the Board of Emigration Commissioners. He looks after Bilgin’s interest in the baggage business, Mr. Stephenson started life as a cart- man and finally landed in a bank as a teller. Since then he has started a bank on the West side, which has been referred to in some of the meet- i of the Emigration Board as the home bank bination in that board. Mr. Stephenson ts active in politics. He sought the appointment of Bank Examiner, after Arthur became President, basing it upon his services to the party in 1880. That place he insisted was in his line, and that he was entitled to it. He did not get it, and he has been outspoken against Mr. Arthur. When seen yesterday he would only say, “I ADMIT NOTHING, DENY NOTHING.” Ex-Senator Thomas C. Platt said he had nothing to say, and when asked if he would not tell whether the charges against him were true or false, repeated, I make no admissions, no de- mals.“ “Were you a member of the Financial Commit- tee referred to by Mr. Dorsey?” “I was president of the State National Commit- tee, and in that capacity had a duty to perform. That duty was to promote the success of the Re- publican party. I do not care to discuss the de- tails by which that end was furthered.” „Mr. Dorsey is quoted as saying that $50,000" was spent in New York and Brooklyn just before the election. How about that?” Mr. Platt haughtily crossed his legs, and said in a voice which made the office boy ina distant corner quake in his boots, “I believe I have once intimated that I decline to be inter- viewed. I have nothing further to say.” In the Dorsey interview, Mr. Jesse Seligman was men- tioned as one of the financial committee which handled the funds in 1880. When the reporter called at Mr. Seligman’s offite in the Mills build- ing the gentleman said: “1 was not a member of any stich committee that I know of.” “Then you knew nothing about the matters dis- | by Mr. Dorsey?“ = “NOTHING WHATEVER.” Mr. C. F. Huntingdoh, in company, with Mr. JAY GOULD, is sald to have agreed to give $100,000 if Garfield appointed Stanley Matthewsa justice of the Su- preme Court. Mr. Huntingdon was notin town yesterday. Mr. James R. Keene was in his un- pretentious front office standing on a worn spot in the red carpet before the ticker. It's all a mis- take,” he said, If my name appeared in any paper as a member of a Republican Committee, it is a misprint. They meant to publish the name of some other mah. Why,” continued Mr. Keene, looking steadi- ly at the reporter through his eye-glasses, Iam not a Republican.” ‘“‘¥ou never were?“ “No, sir, and I hope I never shall be.” A trusted lieutenant of Dorsey’s, whose name for the present is withheld, in an interview to-day says: “I was a Republican office-holder in the East in 1880. A fortnight before the October election in Indiana, I received an urgent request, or com- mand, to go to Indianapolis. The summons was in writing. It was signed by Senator Dorsey. I took the letter to my official superior and WAS TOLD BY HIM TO GO. When I reached Indianapolis I reported to Sen- ator Dorsey, and until three or four days before the election I worked under his direction. Dur- ing the canvass 1 was daily in contact with Dor- sey and the other Republican managers at their headquarters in the new Dennison House. Dorsey was everything in that campaign. He thought of everything, cared for everything, supervised everything, was obeyed by everybody. When one day he broke down from overwork and was sick in bed matters at headquarters WERE IN HOPELESS CONFUSION. and helplessly, like so many chick- ens with their heads chopped off. Dudley and New were on the ground, but their work relatively amounted to little, although they have been superbly rewarded for the work that they did. The one trusted lieutenant of Stephen W. Dorsey was George C. Gorham. He was cool- headed and efficient. Nearly every dollar of the Indiana fund that was paid out to local or im- ported agents was paid on the order of Stephen W. Dorsey or on the order of George C. Gorham. Swaim was also there during almost all of my stay AS THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF GAR- FIELD. He was constantly at headquarters. He communicated with Gartield to inform him as to the situation. This fact Swaim must have dis- coverea during one of his fiying visits to Mentor, for he afterwards treated me with some sulki- ness. He appeared to be displeased because facts went to Mentor through another medium than himself. My particular and imme- diate functions were the organization and control of the parties of strikers, repeaters and roughs brought to Indianapolis from the East and dis- tributed in small gangs to different points in the State. The trick of importation and col- ponization had been tried on a much larger scale, but without success, in 1876, when I was also in Indiana. In 1880 the means used to carry the State were different. The chief depend- ence was put on greenbacks, not on colonists and repeaters. In the Garfield year, I think, not more than 150 outsiders were sent to indiana from the East for these purposes. One party, as I remember, consisted of forty-five men from Balti- shy. One of the best road mares in the country.

Filley, and some of the lesser lieutenants were there. Don Cam- eron hada small black satchel in his hand. I shook hands with him. “How are things here?” he asked. “Everything 1s splendid,” said I. We shall carry the State by 3,000 majority,” „Wen,“ said’ ne, 1 have brought some valuable reinforcements. Senator Don Cameron’s hand-bag contained $60,000 con- tributed by the manufacturers of Pittsburg and other capitalists in Pennsylvania. By 10 o’clock the fact bad leaked out, and the workers were ju- bilant over the amount which Don Cameron had extracted from the iron and steel interests of Pennsylvania. The money used in the canvass WAS KEPT IN THREE DRAWERS of a black walnut bureau, in a little back room in the new Dennison House. This room adjoined the main dining-room of the hotel, aud was sep- arated from Dorsey’s main headquarters by one passage way. The use to which this room was put was Known only to Dorsey and two or three of his most trusted aids. Gorham had the entry to the room. Its constant and sole occupant was a gentleman apparently about 65 years old, nearly six feet tall, of stout build and witha determined face. He had a long full beard pretty well sprinkled with. gray. Ido not know the name of this man. I never asked. This man was THE CUSTODIAN of the campaign funds, and at one time there was not less $250,000 in bank bills in the three drawers of the bureau which he guarded. The money was of all denominations from bundred-dollar notes down to ones and twos. The larger notes were in the top drawer. I saw the money in this bureau. The top drawer, when I saw it, and the middie drawer were nearly full. The bottom drawer, which held the fives, twos and ones, was about halt full. Rv- ery bill paid by this cashier was paid on orders from Dorsey or Gorham. Possibly there may have been payments on the order of Chauncey I. Filley or John C. New. I saw A NUMBER OF THESE ORDERS. They were tickets or small slips of paper. with the amount, the name of the person who was to receive it and the signature or initials of Gorham, sometimes of Dorsey. Sometimes Gorham sim- ply made a ticket with the amount aad name of the payee without any signature. Then he would take the slip into the little room and receive the money from the cashier, who would put the ticxet into the drawer as his voucher. No accounts were kept. Onecase of which I have personal knowledge where money was paid TO BUY DEMOCRATIC VOTES was this six hundred dollars which was furnished to a Democrat in Fort Wayne, a prominent local politician, for his influence in the ward. The sale was arranged by a special agent of the Post Office, acting under an alleged und er- standing with Dorsey. This money, after having been provided by the speciai agent to be deliy- ered to the aforesaid Democrat, was sent by another messenger. The special agent resented at the time what seemed to be a lack of confidence in him personally. Among the more prominent managers and agents who were cognizant of all these facts were Marshal Dunn of Delaware, Special Agents Tidball and Henderson of the Post Office Department, Surveyor Caulk and Mayor Wiegel of Baltimore, Thomas Chappel and Thom- as Cavanagh of the Treasury Department. The last named was Deputy Sergeant-at-Arme of the last House. I think he was the. man “Who.accom- panied, as a guard, the money from New York to Indianapolis. Also Detectives McElfresh and George Muler were prominent agents at Indian- apolis. | ILLINOIS ITEMS. Matters in Chicago—Swindlers at Litchfield —Suicide and Arson at Centralia.

A Document Prepared for Publication and in Expectation of Death—The Ter- rible Struggle in the Bed-Room—“ It was He or I.” By Telegraph to the Post-Disnatch. UNIONTOWN, Pa., August 10.—Just after the acquittal of N. L. Dukes for the murder of Capt. Nutt, and when the public feeling against the former was running highest, it was suggested to bim by his friends that, in view of the manifest fact that his life was in grave danger, it would be wise to prepare for posthumous phblication, if necessary, a statement by hisown hand, giving his own individual side of the great tragedy in which he was a performer. This advice Dukes acted upon. He was killed as was expected, and in three weeks the trial of his murderer will take place. In it he describes the killing in the fol- lowing words: “On the morning of the 24th of December, 1882, I was sitting beside my desk in the Jennings Hotel, REFLECTING UPON MY TROUBLES. The porter * at my door. His rap ts ver familiar to me, “ause he carries my coat. said ‘come.’ The door swung open, the colored 22 stepped back, and Mr. Breckenridge stood. nthe door. I rose as 1 was uttering these words, and stepped within about six feet of the door, and was going to shake hands with him and offer him a chair. He said: ‘Capt. Nutt wants to see you.’ I had no time to reply when the Cap- tain pushed into view, passed Mr. Boeckenridze, came into the room and slammed the door shut without turning. He did not lift his eyes to mine, but hissed through his teeth ‘lL want to see you’ and rushea upon me WITH*HIS CANE UPRAISED. I instinctively threw down my head, and threw up my arm and the blows fell diagunally across the arm. 1 a with him at once and caught the cane. o struggled for a few mo- ments about the foot of the bed, and I wrested the cane from him and attempted to strike him down with it. He then threw himself against me and the blow had no effect. We struggled once more and had scuffled over into the corner back of the bed by the window. I knew that I was his superior in physical strength and could have DRAWN MY PISTOL AND SHOT HIM in the struggle, the pistol being self-acting, but I did not want to kilihim. I concluded, as I was physically his superior, to do nothing but keep him from hurting me aud I cried ‘murder!’ ‘mur- der!’ with the full force of my lungs, in order to bring some one to the rescue, As soon as this alarm was given Capt. Nutt called Clark!“ ‘Clark!’ ‘Olark!’ in a much lower tone of voice than that employed by me. This call for his nephew, who had accompanied him there, coupled with the threat in, his letter of an avenger, filled me with terror and desperation. I instantly threw myself upon the cane with all my power, and it was mine. He sprang away trom me to avoid another stroke from the cane, back toward the mantel and as he went he thrust his right hand into his overcoat pocket and attempted to draw his pistol. It seemed to be entangied, I shall never forget THE MURDEROUS LOOK IN HIS EYES. The awful moment had come. It was he or I. In the twinkling of an eye my pistol was drawn from my hip pocket, my rightfoot and arm ad- vanced, the trigger pressed, a flash and Capt. Nutt sank down alongside the wardrobe. My — threw my back toward the door. A8 Japt. Nutt sank down I heard a confusion behind me. I turned my head and saw Mr. Brecken- ridge about the foot of the bed hastening toward — Nutt, Mr. Feather, bareh „ Was just behind him, his face as white as the counterpane on the bed. Turned toward us and just in the door, was the black face and white eyes of the negro. The whole picture is indelibly impressed upon my memory. I can never forget it.“ MISSOURI NEWS.

Usual Contradictory Statements and Denials —The New Vork Brotherhood Said to Have Given Up the Battle. 7 A rumor that the leaders of the telegraphers’ strike in the East had announced that the strike would be abanadiied was afloat to-day, but the muster workman of the loral Brotherhood, when askea about it at Lightstone’s Hall this afternoon, said that the strike would never be abandoned till it was won; that the rumor Was a lle sent aut i by the Western Union Telegraph Company, and was prompted by the same spirit that made the com- pany out their wires and charge the act to the strikers. “You can say,” said the geutleman to the re- porter, “that the telegraph operators will remain on a strike until they win. We can afford to wait a year if necessary. I can stay out on a strike tor a year. and the rest of us can.” : Notwithstanaing this loud denial, it is plainly evident that the strike has fallen to pieces. Some of the best friends of the strikers admit this, and a telegram to the Post-Dispatcn, which will be found below, gives strength to the statement. It is a fact that a vumber of the strikers have returned to the Western Union and that others have made applications for a reinstaie- ment. They are reported to be returhing to the company as rapidly as they can get work. There is no prvof that the statement is not true in the talk of being able to stay out a year, for the strike ia at an end when the strikers’ places are filled, which the telegraph superintendents and man- agers ussert positively is the case. The strikers have made ita pomtto deny ev- erything except they are going to win the issue. ‘Lhe tele raph companies report that they are better Off than they were before the strike — a statement which tlie telegraphers not only deny but laugh at. The dispatches to ihe newspapers guy that seventy-two operators qt work on ihe Gould lines in Texas yesterday. The gentlemen in the office of the superimtendent of telegraph deny this, with the statement tit they have not heard of operators leaving ou any read except the jron Mowntain, and ther places were proniply filled. The strikers say that every member of the Brotherhood on the I. M. Ry. except three leit their places when ordered, aud that they had ever eighty members op that road. The ote side con- tradicts the other with such flatness aud vele- mency that it is difficult to tell wuich, if either, is correct, ouly that the companies are apparently transacting their business with almost the usual facility. Ihe telegraphers all unite in denying the report circulated by a morning paper, that they or any of them had As- sanited the men who filled their places. They say that there has been nothing more dangerous than words exchanged. 8 At New York. NEW YorK, August 10.—It is stated on good authority this morning that the striking tele- graphers last night practically decided to aban- don the strike. ALL O. K. New York, August 10.— There was no particu- lar disturbance on the Western Union wires last night. Four of the striking operators returned to work this morning.

A PosT-DisPpaAtcn reporter had a chat this morning at the Planter’s with two Australian newspaper men, who are looking into the agricult- ural interests of the States, with a view of fur- nishing suggestions to the farmers and cattle raisers of Australia. Their mission also embraces as incidental features the manufacturing indus- Two tries, railroad Management aud social characteristics of the country. The gen— tiemen are John I.. Dow, agricultural editor of the Leader, and Thomas K. Dow, agricultural editor of the Australasian, the two leading papers f Melbourne. The business of the gentlemen is oascertain for the benent of their readers all that can be learned will respect to such matters in America as irrigation, sugar-growing, wine- rowing, fruit, wheat and corn culture, pork. cat- tle and sheep raising, other matters already men- tioned, and similar questions calculated to be of profit to Australians. With this object in view they arrived at San Francisco about three nontys ago by steamer trom Melbourne, Thence they exvioreu NORTHERN CALIFORNIA | to Lake Tahoe and Virginia City, noting the min- Ing in that region. Going East they toox in Salt Lake, Denver, Omaha, Chicago, examined into the creamery, butter and cheese industries of New York and other Eastern States; thence to Wash- ington and from there here. Now they propose investigating sugar-growing in the South, and will do Texas, New Mexico and the Southwest, through Southern California and again to Sau Frau- cisco and Melbourne, This has been a magnificent trip, and the Australians are delighted with the way of doing things in the United States, with the people and the management of the indtistries ana particularily with the raiiway management, in which they have taken an especial interest. They say that many Americas are locating in Aus- tralia, and that the people are thoroughly Ameri- can in sentiment aud institutions. They were -chiefly delighted with the railway passenger and baggage system, the latter especially. in the sys- tem of checks. In Australia the English system of every man looking after his own luggage is followed. and the people are becoming very tired of the slow and unprogressive mauage- ment of the roads. The roads are operated by the Government and are managed by politicians, who, having a monopoly of traffic, are not dis- posed to Keep pace with the times. Several com- missions have been sent to this country to inquire Into the matter, but the commissions have always deen officers of the roads, and the reports of course are not favorade te changes. But there is a prospect of an awak- ehing in this respect. Lhe hotels are another FEATURE OF AMERICAN TRAVEL with which they are dviigited. ‘The Australian hotels are taverns, in Which the accommodations are secondary to the bar, and even in such large citiesjas Melbourne and Sidney there isnothingthat can compare with the comfort and luxury of our palaces. With respect to the reports of a senti- ment in Australia Lavorable to independence and severing the counection With Eugland, both of these gentiemei declired there Was nothing init. The culonies of Australia enjoy practical self-govern- ment and independence, the connection with Great Britain being hicrely & nominal one, with the advantages ail on the side uf the Australian provinces. On the whole, they consider America far in advance of Australia ih push and progress, dut the latter county has reached a turning point and is inaking rapid strides in the right di- rection.

Mayor Ewing this morning issued a proclama- tion, which is published in another part of this paper, notifying the public that, in order to con- nect the third pumping main with the 36- inch pipe in Fourteenth street, ft will be nécés- sary to take the water from tlie latter pipe for the period of from thirty-six to forty hours. The work will commence at 5 o’clocK to-morrow (Sat- urday) afternoon,and it is — 2 to be complet- ed by 6 o’elock on the following Monday morning. The effect of shuttlug off the 36-inch line spoken of will be to diminish the Water supply over the entire city; aud iu the northern part of the city and also in the section lyilig east of State street and south of Soulard street there will be an exceedingly limited supply during the period of time required to make the connection. ater Commissioner hitman, upon whose recommendation the proclamation has been issued, stated to a Post-DIsPATCH reporter this morning that the new main, with whieh it is pro- posed to connect the thirty-six inch pipe in Fours |. teenth street, will not be used for distribution purposes until the completion of the new engine, which will be about the 10th of next month. h pipe is thifty-six inches from the enigive at Bissell’s point to the staud-pipe on Fourteenth street and Grand avenue, where it enlarges to 48 inches. It will be capable of dis- tributing 16,000,000 gallons of water daily. This will make the total pumping capacity of the new and old engines comvined 46,000,000 galluus daily. The Water Commissioner 15 particularly 7 desirous that during the forty heurs between Satrday evening and Mon- day morning that will be consumed in making the connection, the people living in the sections uf the city named above bévery sparing in the use of water. There are at present twu thirty-six inch water mains branching out irom the stand-pipe. One of these is on Fourteenth street, and this is the main which it is proposed to connect with the hew pipe; the other runs out Grand avenue, and empties into tie Compton Hill reservoir, and supplies the western portion: of the city besides, In order that there shall be a sufficiency of water forthe absolute necessities ot the eity during the time between Saturday evening and Monday morning, the entire city will have to be supplied from the Grand avenue main. Ordiuarily when water is being distributed through both the Grand avenue main and Fourteenth street main the valves at the dividing line are shut off, but on Saturday tney will de opened in order that the water may be readity distributed. When it is mentioned that the distributing da. pacity of the Grand avenue pipe is only 23,000,000 of ö daily, and that the total amount requir- ed for the city’s needs is from 30,000,000 10 4,000. 000, it èan readily be understood that the Mayor's proclamation cautioning extreme economy ib the use Of water from Saturday evening to Mon- duy morning is a timely document. ‘to-day there are 37,500,000 gallons of water in the Compton Hill reservuir, and it is intended te keep the supply there up to this standard at least, supplied by the Compton Hul reservuir, i. e., the street, will not be appreciably affected by the operation of connecting the new and the old pibes on Fourteenth street, The Mayor takes occasion in his proclamation to modify the sprinkling regulatious prescribed willg bey permitted on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week until further notice. The use oi water for animal and vehicle washing and cleaning is forbidden, except when the water is taken through a meter. Tue use of water through a hose at the pubtic buildings, institutions, engine houses, for any purpose except the extinguish- meut of tires is forbidden, FOOLED HER FATHER, Miss May Gentry'’s Runaway Marriage With a Dry Goods Clerk. A young couple stepped into the Recorder’s office this afternoon in quest of a marriage license, and gave their names as Wm. T. Durphy and Miss May Gentry. The young lady, who was a handsome looking girl, said that she was born on June 23d, 1865, and conse- quently that she was eighteen years old last June. Durphy and the girl swore that they were both over the age required by law, and a license was issued. zoon after they had left, an old gentieman came in and asked if such a license had been issued. His name was Alfred 8. Gentry, a printer by occupation, and he lives at 913 North Seventeenth street. would think that was my daughter,“ said he, but that I know she is in Cincinpati. A young man of that name lives next door to us. He has been making love to the daughter, I guess, but she is at present in Cincinnati.” On comparing notes the description of the girl who got out the marriage of Mr. Gentry’s daughter tallied exactly. The father, however, said that he was sure that his May was born on June 3, but that the year was 1866, and she Was consequently only a little over 17 years of age. The father said that both Durphy and the girl were Roman Catholics, and that if they married tue ceremon would de performed by a Batholie priest. e started off to the College Chureh on Ninth and Christy ave- nue, to inquire, saying he was sure they would go there. The young folks, however, took time by the forelock. They stepped across from the Four Courts to Justice Sheehan’s office and had the knot tied before the work on the marriage license was dry. Justice Sheehan said he thought the girl looked young, but she hada legal license and he made no inquiries. Tne directory gives the information that Mr. I. Durphy is a salesman at Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney’s store, and that he iives at 915 N. 17th street, next door to the residence of the Gentry’s. Papa Gentry thinks that his daughter Mary must have come home from Ciuemati today, without letting him know of her arrival.

A New Syndicate Formed—Talk of a Union of the First National of Indianapolis with the Indiana Banking Co.—The Effect on Change. ö 4 — - —— INDIANAPOLIS, Ix p., August 9.—Large crowds gathered around the First National Bank and the Indiana Banking Company an hour before open- ing time, this morning. At 9:45 the doors of both banks were still closed. An announcement has — been made that they will not open for two or bree hours, The directors of the First National. with several large and influential capitalists of the State, met at 8 o’clock this morning and are still in session, but nothing has been made public as to the result of the conference. FURTHER PARTICULARS. INDIANAPOLIS, August 10.~Both suspended banks remain closed. The following notice is osted on the aoor of the First National: The ard of directors are in session considering what is best to be done, but have not yet arrived aha consluslon.“ Tue board of directors of the First National Bank adopted a resolution at their meeting this morning to doubie the stock of the bank — 8800.0 of stock instead of $4°0,000—p ovided a syn ate headed by Mr. Depauw anu Mr. higlisti was formed to take the management and a controling amount of the stock. A+ paper was drawn up to this effect, wiich was signed py ull the d rect- ors aud stockholders present and a committee was appointed to get the consent of the stock- holders not present. As soon as this consent is completed, it is understood that new and stron parties will come into the concern that will make it one of the strongest financial institutions in the country. It may take a few days to do this, and gather in the regular amount of currency, but it may be done in a few hours. Tue other bank also held a meeting this morning, and agreed that if the pro- posed syndicate was formed they would afford ail the assistance to the First National that might be required. It may be said, therefore, that whilst it is untortunate that any trouble occurred there is really no reason for alarm, and that ultimate good may result from it in giving the bank increased strength. Very little information has been obtained as to what the In- diana Banking Company may do, but it is proba- bie they will be able to resume also in a very short time. There has been no extraordinary demand ov auy of the other banks for funds to-day. THE ACTION IN WASHINGTON.

NEw York, August 10.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s Com- mereial Agency reports that there were 182 busi ness failures throughout United States and Can- ada reported to New York during the past seven days, the same number as last week. New En- gland States had 22, Middle States 32, Western 53, Southern 29, Pacific 16, New York City 13 and Canada Provinces 17. The Effect on Change. On ’Change the grain markets were considera- bly affected by the report of these failures. Wild rumors were flying around the floor for a while as to the extent and amount of the failures. First it was reported that one bank had gone in Indian- apolis; then that another, and finally u was stated that a bank in Cincinnati and a leading in- surance company of Chicago had failed. The et- fects of these stories of financial disaster natural- ly had a disquieting influence upon the markets. Wheat dropped off in price, corn was weaker and other markets exhibited. depression. Buyers drew out almost unanimously, and sellers showed some eagerness to let go. But these reports were not confirmed, and the feeling improved, so that reece on all grain fully recovered ere the market closed. Indications.

The power to pardon persons committed to the Work House by the police courts is vested in the Mayor of the city. The exercise of the pardoning power gives the Mayor more annoyance than all his other duties combined. Most of the applications for executive clem- ency are made by third parties appearing, it is presumed, disinterestly,for the unfortunate prisoner; but the reappearance of the same people at frequent interyals intent upon What woulda com- monly be regarded as an act of mercy, leads to the suspicion that their interest in securing pardons is not that of the good aritan, but rather that of a go-between working for hire. Sergeant Me- Grew, to whom applications are usu- ally addressed, as a reliminary step towards their being placed before the Mayor, has fre- quently complained that his duties are seriously ſucreased by the necessity of guarding against the schemes of the pardon-broker. Not long ago, during the temperary absence from the office of the Sergeant, an individual mavaged to make his way into the Mayor’s presence with a pitiful story of a poor man wrongfully confined atthe rock-pile. His account of the prisoner’s condition and previous conduct was extremely pathetic. On examination it turned out that the man in whose behalf he had acted was a notorious Chicago crook, who by a slip had got into the Work House for a minor of- tense instead of into the Penitentiary for a greater one, and who had promised the pardon broker 825 if he would secure a remit of his fine of $100. The latter fact did not leak out until the prisuner found out that the pardon had been refused, and Lhen he complained to a fellow prisoner of the in- efliciency of his hired agent. aud thence it traveled to the ears of the Superintendent and probably to those of the Mayor himself.

Upon the scaffold he did not want any one to pray for him. Prayer was offered, however, after which Ostrander spoke for three or four minutes in a rambling manner, claiming his innocence, say- ing he had not had a fair trial and denouncing the peop‘e of the county for hanging him. He was frequently profane and obscene. Ending witn an oath, he said: But as to hanging ine you can do it, life is of no good to me.” Before the execution Ostrander told his spirit- ual adviser he did not forgive his relatives, and would not ask God to forgive him.

Monday’s board opens at 10:15 a. m.; on other days at 9:15 a. m. It is strongly intimated that the short interest in the New York corn market for August is some- what of a pretense for shipping the corn out of Chicago, where the short interest actually is.— Advices from the country indicate a large in- crease in the movement of corn to market. It is believed in Chicago that their receipts on some one day this month will reach 1.000 cars.——A New York broker says the only way to offset the loss eat. Corn.

Riadle of Columbia, the ¢following letter from John L. Jac Colusa, Cal, which he forwarded to the PosT- DISPATCH, for publication: “From the best infor- mation at my disposal have concluded that our crop is below an average, both as to quality and uantity. The State will have for export from to 1,000,000 tons wheat; certain! a * most instances these large estimates are given out by — Benge or speculators interested in de- pressing the wheat market. Colusa County, the largest wheat producing county in the State, will’ average not to exceed a half crop, and the quality is below an average. We are just in the midst of harvest, and therefore wheat is not being offered freely. When our crop is ready for market, that is to say when farmers have finished harvesting, the probabilities are that they will meet the mar- ket.— A certain trader in the — who had puts and calls on October wheat yesterday that were only an eighth cent apart, traded with such suc- cess in these privileges that he lost $625. This is getting speculation down very fine. The lat- est advices from England on the hop crop are that the vines are threatened with lice, mould and honey-dew. The continued dry weather on the Pacific coast has had the same effect on the grow- ing crops there, and the cool weather in New York State will delay the maturing of the crop and may possibly diminish the yield.—The amount on passage to the United Kingdom for ports of call and direct ports was: Aug. 4.

Oue of these flour men said that flour, if shaded 5 10 cents a barrel, could be readily sold for ex- port, and he thought that as we are so near an ex- port basis the prospects were better now than they have been for some time past. It was also stated that holaers of flour were firmer in their ideas, and it was believed that if cash wheat held up a short time longer, an advance of flour would follow.——Young Bros., of Toledo, wire D. R. Francis & Bro.: “Indications point to 1,000 cars wheat here for Monday and Tuesday inspections.” ——Private advices are that Kent sold 3,000,000 bushels of wheat in New York this morning and bought freely in Chicago.——There were ru mors on the floor today of bank failures in Cin- cinnati and Indianapolis, and an insurance com- pany’s failure in Chicago, but these rumors were positively denied later.——Export limits on wheat in this market were advanced 2c a bushel to-day. It was stated by parties who are in a po- sition to know, that No. 2 red wheat was bought on the market to-day for shipment to Europe.—— Shippers of hay are notified by the Merchants’ Exchange Price Current that if they press their new hay tightly, it will arrive here in a heated condition. The wneat market was very much unsettled to- day. Although receipts were large in the West- ere market (196 cars and 20,417 sacks here, 336 cars in Toledo, and 140 cars in Chicago), European ca- bles were so strong that the markets on this side opened higher. Liverpool reported advances of Sud in wheat off coast and to arrive; 2d higher for spot, and private advices gave bad weather iu England; besides this, export limits on wheat were advanced. Soon after the strong reopenin in the home market the mo 15 became unsettle Other markets commenced to lose their strength and this bad rather a weakening effect, but there was no disposition shown here to force prices down much — tree selling. bout noon the feeling became nervous and the market disquieted by reports of bank failures elsewhere, and as buyers then held aloof the market dragged down to $i 10%, for Oc- tober, but from this depression there Wasa speedy recovery, the demand turned good once more and the close showed %c advance over yesterday, be- sides being firm. Corn futures were very dull, but showed little material change in value, though, if anything, the tendency was downwara most of the time; but late a decidedly — feel- ing was shown and the close was considerably up, though August was then %c lower and Sep- tember unchanged from yesterday's close, while October and year were e higher than then. Oats declined and were weak on delines elsewhere, with rather light trad- ding. The close was 4,@%,c lower. Cash No. 2 red was firm and met an active shipping demand, , part of which.was said to be for export, and, sides this, shorts were buying: No. 3 red opened lower, but so sharp was competition between Eastern shippers thatit advanced to about yes- terday’s rate.

FRIDAY, AUGUST. 10, 1883. a nnd —_— Tue Shylocks who rob the poor must go. Their place is just outside the city gates. JUDGE Noonan has done for the usurers what SULLIVAN did for the Maori. He has knocked them out. Let them be kept in that condition. Ir is to be hoped that the Black Hand which is being put up in Spain is a elub flush. If so it will beat four kings, to say nothing about poor little ALFONSO. To SENATOR VEst—"Come home at once. Itis very pleasant to occupy a seat beside the President on a buekboard, but you are in danger of losing your seat in the Senate.“ Ir was all a mistake about CETEWAYO having climbed the golden stair. He is still alive, aud ready toimpress English civiliza- tion upon the natives of Zululand. But he is no “dude.” In the history of St. Louis we have “année du grand coup” and année des grandes eaux.” This will be known as the year of Street Reconstruction—the most glorious in the city’s annals. — THE little unknown men who are setting the granite blocks in the streets are building a lasting monumentzto Mayor’s EwINn@’s ad- ministration. This era marks the city’s first stride toward metropolitan glory. PERHAPS you think the Egyptians are not having a pleasant time this summer. In ad- dition to cholera, rinderpest, ete., an epi- demic of carbuncles has broken out at Dam- jetta and the Nile is threatening to overflow its banks. — THREE cheers and a tiger for, the revolu- tionists in Spain! This revolt, however feeble it may be, means confusion to the anointed thieves who rule and rob under an alleged divine authority. It means the birth of the Republic, A CARBUNCLE plague is reported in the arid region round about Damietta, Egypt. There is some reason to fear that President ARTHUR'S exploring party will suffer from an outbreak of varbuncles if they sojourn too long in the droughty plateaus of the Rockies. Tux Irish informers who were refused a landing at Melbourne, Australia, have been transferred toa British iron-clad at Sidney. If the English Government desires to protect the patriots thoroughly it should send them to St. Helena and immure them in a case- mated fort. Ir is to be hoped that Senator VEST will pick up some new funny stories from the Shoshone Indians. They are said to be very droll people and amply endowed with the vis comica, though the Arapahoes are, we be- lieve, the yard-wide-and-all-wool humorists of the Northwest. THE United States steamer Pinta, which was ordered out to Alaska some time ago, and which has been ruinously repaired at Norfolk at an expense of $100,000, is to be sent to New York now and repaired again. Unless great care is taken the miserable tub will probably sink on the voyage from Nor- felk to New York. Now is the time for Dorsry to begin his threatened libel suit against the New York Times. That fearless journal refers to him again as a liar and thief, and even refers to his mildewed character. Two Star Route juries ‘‘vindicated’” Mr. Dorsgy, and he should not permit this sort of thing to go on. It may impair his usefulness as a Republic- an leader, 8 SHERIFF PrERRY’s bloodhounds, down at Marshall, Texas, are on the trail of some burglars who violated the sanctity of a hotel in that town night before last. If the enter- prising dogs should happen to overhaul and rend an innocent peddler in their wild de- tective work the Sheriff would probably feel as much ashamed of himself as did ARTEMUS WARD when his organ-grinder died and dis- appointed an Indiana audience. , A pIsPAtcu from Dublin says that one hundred paupers of both sexes, being unable to get work home, petitioned the Guardians of the North Dock Union to send them to Canada or the United States. Simultaneous with this comes the announcement that the British Government has decided to provide an additional $500,000 to aid Irish emigration, the money to be taken from the general ex- chequer instead of the church surplus fund. as heretofore, The tax to send the impover- ished Irish from the land which gave them birth, should be levied upon the rich Irish landlords who, together with their predatory ancestors, have been oppressing and robbing that people for two centuries.

All the material used last year will be used again, but it is proposed to extend the illumination to other streets, and it costs money to put the pipes in position. To-day a blank sub- scription-card is being sent out to our citi- zens who are known to feel an interest in “painting the city red” during Fair week. It is to be hoped that the contributions will be liberal. Money invested in this way brings-big returns. — SPAIN’S DISTRESS. The decision of the Spanish Ministry to suspend all constitutional guarantees and proclaim a state of siege throughout Spain, means something more serious than mere sporadic outbreaks. What with her Carlist wars and the military revolts of NARVAEZ, PriM, SERRANO and MARTINEZ DE CAMPOS, Spain has had achaotic time of it for many years. Since the expulsion of IsABELLA, Spain has had the provisional government of PRIM and SERRANO; the reign of AMADEO for two years, with the constitution of 1869; the Federative Republic, and the dictatorship of EmMIL1io CASTELAR; the regency of Mar- shal SERRANO; the restoration of the Bour- bon dynasty in the person of ALFONSO asa constitutional king in December, 1874. The last was the work of the standing army of 120,000, as all successful revolutions in Spain have been, and if the army is not tired of ALFONSO now, it may be taken for granted, that all attempts at revolution will be sum- marily suppressed, l The declaration of a few regiments in fav- or of the constitution of 1869, with ZORILLA as President, will please neither the army nor the Republicans. ZoORILLA was the Prime Minister of King AMADEO, and will hardly be tempted to take, under that con- stitution, as President, a position which he could not make tenable for AMADEO as King. Still it is encourgaging to see trouble in a monarchy, and the people who are pant- ing fora change should be stimulated with the applause of the American Republic. HUMAN SHARKS. Recently the Post-DispAtcH has per- formed a worthy public service in showing up some of the sharks in St. Louis who make a practice of lending money to people at rates which not only amount to gross usury, but downright thievery. Yesterday a pair of these soulless creatures, D. H. EVANS and HENRY WILSON, were arraigned in the Court of Criminal Correction at the suit of Mrs. ADDIE PERRY. It was shown that this poor woman, during the illness of her hus- band, was forced to pay $37 50 for the use of $35 for afew months, and being unable to pay further interest at the rate of $5 a month, her household goods were seized under a chattel mortgage. One of the sharks testified that, while a blank mortgage only cost ten cents, he always charged his victim $7 for making out one of these documents. Judge NoonaN held the usurious knaves in the sum of $1,000 each, and in recommending them to the Grand Jury took occasion to express his detestation and contempt for this sort of of- fense in terms which will find an echoin every honest, sympathetic heart. The public can have but a vague conception of the extent to which the necessitous poor of this city are robbed and fleeced by a gang of harpies who happen to be possessed of a little ready capital, and who do not even pay the municipality the poor compliment of taking out licenses as pawnbrokers. Socially and morally they are no better than pickpockets, and itis to be hoped that the law will be steadily invoked to rid the community of them. The Post-Dispatca is enlisted in the good work. OUR STATE UNIVERSITY. St. Louisis entitled to one hundred and forty free scholarships in the State Uni- versity at Columbia. The President. Dr. Laws, has just announced the appor- tionment The only expense to a young man who avails himself of this meth- od of getting an education isan entrance fee of $10, and his board, ludging and clothes during his university course. In the face of these facts it is singular that so few of our boys go to Columbia. Parents should certainly look closely into the advan- tages offered by the State University. Its curriculum is certainly an extensive one. It includes all of the branches that are usually taught in colieges of the first class. In math- ematics, for instance, the course extends from arithmetic to acomplete mastery of the differential and integral calculus and to ce- lestial mechanics. Prof. Fick .rn is an able teacher, the author of some excellent mathe- matical text books. In chemistry, a practi- cal knowledge of the science is taught, and analysis made aspecial and successful study. In Latin the young men read from Nxros to TACITUS and QUINTILLIAN. In Greek they go from Lysias and Hrroporuvs (rather a difficult beginning) to SOPHOCLES and Tuv- CYDIDES. It cannot be urged that the University is strong in the classics, but it makes this up in the scientific departments. There is a Law School, a Medical School,an Agricultur- al School, and the Rolla School of Mines con- nected with the University, the first three of which, of course, are out of the question for St. Louis. No man can study medicine far away from great hospitals, or law far away from the courts. The Rolla School of Mines is an engineering institution, which is the best of its kind in Missouri, and one of the bestin the Union. Its work is thor- oughly well done. On the whole, much as has been said about the politics of the State University, and little as we hear of its schol- arship, many parents may do worse than send their boys to Columbia. Out of the one dred and forty free light will aggregate, according to the report of the President, less than $100 a year. To this must be added the entrance fee of $10, books, clothes, and eteeteras, which will de- pend in amount upon the resources.and econ- omy of the student. It seems to us that, In- cluding every possible expense, an education at Columbia will not cost more than $300 a year, and could be brought into a much narrower limit. The situation of Columbia is healthful and | pleasant, and the best boys from the interior of the State attend the school. Its tone is high, and its associations healthy. It may not give as much for the investment as Har- vard or even as Ann Arbor or Madison, but for those whose means are limited and who have boys to educate, it offers inducements worthy of examination. Application to take advantage of the St. Louis appointment should be made to the City Register, Mr. BERG, at the City Hall. — Mn. JEFFERSON Davis, who declines to subside, is out in a long letter controverting some of Mr. Jerry BLACK’s Secession Secrets“ and discussing the failure to bring the issue between the North and South to a peaceful settlement. Gentlemen of elegant leisure may find time to read Mr. DAvis’ statements with interest when the long win- ter nights come, but the masses are not just now eagerly seeking for new light by which to revise their opinions on those. questions. Gen. BASIL DUKE, one of Mr. Davis’ ad- mirers and followers, said at the reunion of MORGAN’S Men the other day, that he not only conceded that both sides thought they were right in that war, but for his own part he was beginning to think that both were right. If everybody is satisfied with the re- sult, nobody will take much interest in the arraignment of those who helped to bring it about. Mr. Davis, however, has indulged in some personal flings which may arouse old JEREMIAH and thereby contribute to the public amusement. Firty or sixty counties of Georgia ob- tained spevial acts of the Legislature under which they were authorized toestablish Pro- hibition by local option. Paradoxical as it may seem, the temperance vote was strong- est in the counties most famous for ‘‘moon- shine” whisky. ‘lhe abolition of a licensed liquor traffic made everybody dependent on the moonshiners, and made them bloated monopolists, as it were. It destroyed their rivals, rallied the whole thirsty popuiation around them and thus gave theman immense advantage over the Federal revenue ofticers. It worked so well that the Legislature the other day passed a new local option law ap- plicable to the whole State, and it is pre- dicted that under this law Prohibition will bevoted in nearly all the counties, leaving only a few licensed saloons in the larger cities. But it is not believed that the amount of whisky consumed in Georgia will be any less on that account. ee — — PRESIDENT ARTHUR, who is exploring the dark recesses of that terra incognita which lies about the head-waters of the Yellow- stone River, had a grand ovation at Fort Washakie yesterday at the hands of the Shoshone and Arapahoe Indians. Five hundred greasy warriors pranced around him and the President made a speech which completely captured the rude and untaxed politicians of the plains. They gave him three cheers and set the second-term ball in motion in fine style. Oneeffusive aborigine named SHARPNOSE presented the Presi- dent with a pony for the use of his daughter, and other delighted savages showered gifts of moccasins and leggings on the brave explorers. It is quits evident that Mr. ARTHUR has “hogged” the Indians in a political sense and that he has secured another good send-off for his second term scheme. — — — Ex-Gov. PHELPS, in his address to the Wilson’s Creek reunionists yesterday at Springfield, managed to say a number of pleasant things without touching upon poli- tics or stirring up unpleasant memories of the war. Asarulethis is a difficult thing todo. The orator had before him the men who had fought for and against the Union, on that memorable battle-field, and it was a hard matter to keep from the expression of some sentiment which might give offense. The skillfulness exhibited by the Governor in handling his topic leads us to believe that his admiring friends have not ovérestimated ° him when they have ranked him as a States- man. Still we would have a better opinion of him if he would come out ina manly way and tell Chaplain Brooks what he thinks of Prohibition, in accordance with the kind invitation extended him. To-NIGHT the City Coundil will meet to consider some of the Mayor’s appointments. The Globe-Democrat very sensibly says this morning: It is to be hoped that wise counsels will prevail ; that the spirit and letter of the laws will be obeyed; that if the Mayor's nominees are good men they will be confirmed; and that if they are bad ones they will be rejected. Just so. The attempt of Seven members of Council to force the Mayor into a division of his patronage, through the formation of a cabal to reject all appointments not pre- viously submitted to them, was an astound- ing piece of impertinence in the first place. {t has been carried to the point of absolute injury to the city, and the business has been condemned by the public regardless of party. A is understood that the Seven Conspirators have repented, Their action this evening will test their sinverity. — . ͤ—— —̃ (—é— Some well-informed person writes from this city to the Chicago Tribune a column of interesting matter detailing the nature of the great political struggle now going on in this State between the friends of Gov. ‘CrirrenpEN and Senator Vest.

Unfortunately the Governor is in California enjoying himself and Ver is bounding on a buckboard through the Yellowstone Park, at times regaling the President with funny stories, and we are therefore unable to verify this rather im- portant statement. We rather suspect, however, that there is some truth in It. en — Tux time was, according to SHAKSPEARE, that “when the brains were out the man would die.” It seems to be different with modern women. A Mrs. GaRRIsON of Cleve- land accidentally shot herseif in the head three days ago and sheis still alive and walk- ing about, ‘The ball entered above the right ear and went through the head to the left side, striking the skull and glancing down- ward. A portion of the brains oozed out, but the woman is still conscious and doesn’t | seem to think that anything extraordinary has occurred. It is in order now to bring out the old story about that Vermont quarry- man who had a crow-bar shot through his head and who lived many years, to die at last of mountain fever. in this State says that while Mr. R. has an unfortunate habit of keeping quiet while his friends gently pluck the government goose, he is himself a perfectly clean and honorable man. As a proof of this he points to the ex-Speaker’s poverty. It would probably be better for the country if Mr. RANDALL would do a little jobbiug himself in Congress and repress the noble frenzy of his friends. He is surrounded by gentlemen who are very enterprising in their little tricks on the Treasury. E TILDEN and Henaricks clubs are becoming quite fashionable in Missouri. By and by they will become epidemic.—{St. Joe Gazette. They are only mildly sporadic now, but the bung of the barrel has not been loos- ened. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YorxK, August 10.—The World says: “When the prosecutors in the Hill investigation asked Mr. New’s committee to go to Chicago to take important testimony, Mr. Secretary Folger came solemnly into the chamber and assured the committee that of the fund out of which their ex- penses could be paid only $73 remained, Where- upon, beginning with the placid Folger, they all smiled, it is said. The number of insuperable obstacles in the way of this investigation 1s re- markable. At last it was lack of money. Still there seems to be cash enough to send Gen. Sheri- dau, Secretary Lincoln and a few score of their personal attendants offon an iuspecting tour to the Yellowstone.” THE SUN. The Sun says: The tiresome rowing scandal about the Chautauqua race and the sawing of Courtney’s shell, has again been revived, this time breaking out in St. Louis. The literature of the question, ‘Who cut Courtney’s boat,’ al- though thus far maiuly in newspaper form, is al- most worthy to be mentioned, for volume, with that of the controversy as to who wrote the letters vf Junius. With the usual alacrity to take ad- vantage of a ~ renewal of this talk, Courtney has been asked whether he will row Hanlan at Lachine for 83, 000. It was only the other day that the champion desired to nave the Union Springs carpenter barred out of the races by an association of pro- fessional oarsmen, to be formed for that purpose, but practically he may think Courtney’s money as good as that of anybody else.“ THE TIMES. The Times says: Dorsey having magnified his party services beyond the bounds of reason, and having falsifie@the little chapter of political his- tory in which he hada place, has taken to the amusement of lying as a permanent business. This creature, whom no honest and candid man would believe under oath, is just now a prime favorite with the Democratic party. Democratic newspapers parade his oft told fables as if they were creditable and would hold water. His slauders of the dead and the living are at this moment the sole stock in trade of small beer poli- tietaus, who Know that Dorsey is a liar, and who believe him to be a thief. The exhibition is a pitiable one. Dorsey, convicted at the bar of public opinion, although escaping from justice, a dishonored and broken man, ought to be al- lowed to digest the venom of his spleen, It would be as idle to pursue his slanders as it would be to decent people who know how low the man has sunk, and how effectually he has shown his base- ness, refuse to give currency to bis slanderous tales or credence to his malignant yarns.”’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: “Apparently it is not easy to make clear the meaning of that clause in the tariff act which refers to the coverings on duti able goods. Ornamental boxes, not necessary to the safe transportation of such goods, have been subjected to duty by some of the Custom House collectors, and exempted by others. To secure uniformity In the administration of the law, Sec- retary Folger appointed a commission of treasury experts to settle the question. After careful con- sideration of the subject the commisslou has been unable to agree. It seems as though Secretary Folger or the Attorney-General would be the proper persous to decide a matter of that kind.“ POLITICAL GOSSIP. PRocTOR KNorr's majority is not the largest ever known in Kentucky, but it will serve. GOVERNOR PATTISON of Pennsylvania is the champion vetoer. His vetoes mark sixty. Butler and Cleveland have lost. BUTLER says the Governors of Massachusetts are insufficiently paid, and now everybody in that State is hoping that he will strike. Tue Attorney-General of Onio has decided that the Scott Law gives Councils of towns and cities the right to regulate the hours for business of liquor saloons. THERE was considerable talk in Massachusetts last week of a Democratic purpose to nominate Charies P. Thompson for Governor this year in- stead of Butler. THE Kingston (N. V.) Freeman thinks that the sentiment in favor of the old ticket in this State this fall “appears to be dallv taking a stronger hold upon the Republican party.” GEN. FRANCIS A. WALKER will be no longer discussed as a Gubernatorial candidate in Mas- sachusetts, as It is remembered that he has not lived there the seyen years required by the Con- stitution.

THE PEOPLE’S FORUM, Where the Keaders of the Post-Dispatch Get a Hearing. Sr. Louis, August 6, 1883. To the Editor of tne Post-Dispatch: In answer to the effusion of the Boiler Inspector in your issue of the 3ist of July, would say if you have not already promised to obey the orders of the would-be dictator, to whom ali light and truth is very offensive, you willoblige me by giving this a place in your columns. He would have done better to have kept his mouth shut, as his answer to the communication of the 24th is a fail- ure as a defense of himself. He does not deny that hetold me before my examination that I could not get a license, however well qualified I might be, and that if I did get one he would never recognize it; which accounts for my not passing the examination, This clearly proves that it was determined by the Board not to give me a license. I am ready at any time to go before à committee of United States Engineers and prove my qualifi- cations, which all three of the present ignorant Board cannot do for themselves. The Boiler In- spector does not, and dare not, deny that he ma- liciously prosecuted the firm of Which Lam a member, and then, like a sheep-killing dog, dis- gracefully backed out and saddled the costs on a witient tax-ridden community. He knows well hat all which was saidin the communication of the 24th can be proven, and he dare not answer. Il deny the misserable charge of hatred; 1 am prove the charge. I will now ask the Emperor of engineers and steam power in St. Louis how the imported steam gauge business is prospering, and what he intends to do about that gauge he sold me afew months ago and which never was cor- rect? (Please return the scrap). The (so-called) Boiler Inspector speaks of further satisfaction, ete. I will now inform him that there are 4 great many powerful levers under his official seat, and if he does not keep his own hanas off of those levers, by attending to his legitimate duties, he Will upset himself into that disgrace which he has so well earned; that will afford me and many other good citizens all the satisfaction de- sired. He should resign and devote his attention to the imported steam gauge business and that of engineers’ intelligence office, He might also add to temt the business of “post-hole moving,” as he is better quaiiticd for that than for the position he now lis. it is to be hoped t our esilmuabie Mayor and Council will soon bury the hatchet and ive usa higher order of intelligence in this oard of Engineers. It is much needed. Please investigate this Board, you will not have to yo far for testimony. I forgive the Boiler luspectur and the Board for the wrongs committed against me, as I do not think they are accountable, for their education has been sadly neglected. : ld time observer Hy.

Happily, the crop of platform writers is not all grown in St. Louts or Louisville. There is Mr. H.

Ope woman claimed that she bought §120 worth of furniture from Evans and, after paying $126 70, was presented with a claim for §43 45.

By 1424 all the streets of Paris and Dijon were paved, and it was discovered that tis improvement not only made cleanliness possible, but also materially stova in the way of spreadiug contagious uiseases. “London,” the curbstone professor continued, “was not paved until the beuiumug of the Fil- teenth Century, when the King, who found many Us and hazaids along a highway where- on his carriage passed, ordered two vesseis of twenty tons each to be employed at his expense in carrying stones to pave tue streets of the met- ropolis. The origin of paving in Augsburg, Ger- Many, may be taken as an example of what oc- curred in other towns and Cities about that time, Hans Gwerlich,a ric mercuant o: Augsburg. caused a peat footpath to be laid before his house in 1415, and this guined so much approval froin the inhabitants that the authorities afterwards paved the whole city.” “But,” he went on, „the paving of streets is not the only thing necessary to cieanliness. After Paris was paved each hougebolder was ordered to keep the pavement opposite his place clean; but the order was 4580 flagrantiy evaded that in the Fourteenth century the streets becaine choked up with rubbish.

A subsequent law niade it incumbent on all classes tu pertorm the duty, but at last the overnment adopted the only efficient means of neuring the cleanliness of ihe Streets, by making t 8 national undertakin and contracting with certain parties to cairy o the accumulating dirt and rubbish at so much per annum, just as we now contract for the re- moval of slops.“ “Sauval, in his ‘History of Paris,’ relates a cir- cumstance which is al once characteristic of the dirty state of the streets and of the power of the ecclesiastics of the period. King Philip was pass- ug St. Gervaison horseback one day in 1181, when a sow ran against his horse’s leg aud made him stumble, throwing the King tothe ground and 390 him so that he died next morning. mn account of the accident an order was issued that in the future no swine be allowed to run inthe streets; but the Abbot of St. Anthony opposed the order on the ground that it was contrary to the respect due to their patron salut to prevent his swine from enjoying the libertyof going wherever they pleased. So it was found necessary to grant the clergy an exclusive privilege aud allow their swine to promenade or wallow in the girt of the streets without molestation providing they had bells on their necks. f “in many of the continental cities,” said the old gentleman in couciusion, “as it was found impos- sible to compel the inhabitants to clean the pave- ments opposite their doors. the work was as- signed to. people of mean condition—the skinners and the servants of the public execu- tioner. In many mstances it was added to the number of indiguities so liberally heaped upon the Jews of those days. But perhaps the est mode of causing the streets to be cleansed was adopted in Berlin in 1671, when it was or- dered that every countryman who brought goods into Berlin for sale at the public markets should take away a load of rubbish on his back.“ “By jingo !” said a citizen who had listened to the latter part of the open-air cyclopedia’s dis- course, ~I think it would be a good scheme for St. Louis if sole kind of an order could be issued compelling each city official to scoop up and carry beyond the limits oi the corporation, every day, a few cubic feet of the slush that fills the streets and that will never be got rid of in any other way. My opinion is thai the men who eat up the taxes of the people ought to make some little sacrifice like this and at least make it look as il they were doing their best to give the people the worth of their money.“ OBTAIN rooms through the want columns of the Posr-Disr Arch, twenty words for ten cents. A MANIA FOR MUSTACHES. Hair Forced to Grow on Thin Lips and Very . Bald Heads. “Are you ever called upon to raise mustaches for youngsters?” a Post-DISPATCH reporter asked a professor of hair culture who seems toghave an extensive following here. 8 “Oh, yes, indeed,“ was the hair-compelfer’s re- ply. “I bave many customers from 16 to 21, and even as high as 25, whom I treat specially for the growth of the mustache, The youngest custom- the crop of ers are anxious to force hair on their upper Up; the old ones find the growth too scanty, and are xious to increase its luxuriance.

AN ELEPHANT TAT READS. reporter Distinguishing Written Characters. Louis E. Cook, agent of Cole’s Circus, who was in the city a few days ago, told aremarkable story that illustrates the elephant’s wonderful capacity for receiving and ietaining impressions, and at the same time showed the great possibilities still offered in the direction of educating the pachy- derm. “Our trainer, Wm. Organ,” said Mr. Cook, “while in New York last winter, had several con- versations with an eminent zoologist, who, among other theories, advanced this; that the elephant could be taught to read written characters. He explained that the education of the great beast had gone even farther than mere feats of memory, either in the matter of language or judging of suapes and forms. It had been traiwed to do work of many Kinds in the Kast, such as piling lumber in Sys- temutical columns and even setting the heavy stoties iu Masoudy so that expert workinen fouud iL seiduin necessary to make avy changes in their position. The cunning of the elephant was well Kuowu, for Lhe trained monster was often used to lure ils wild brethren into snares, and frequently assisted in turuwing and holding down tue cap- tive untu the Chains Were piaced upon him. Tue Zoviogist used other arguments of the same klud and Orgau at lust agreed to make the attem pt aud determine the pussibility of teaching the elepuaut to read. He selected Mora, a 15-vear-older, for tue experiment, and began Work on hun at the fair grounds while We were in our winter-quarters here, He got a biack-board two feet long and eight inches Wide Upon Which to im&cribe the let- ters. He did not begin, however, by teaching the auimal the alphabet. He did not seem to want to make the experiment in that way, as it might be too tediofis, but, as you Know, ring or trained ele- phants know ali the words of command spoken by the trainer. They will stop whea he cries ‘halt,’ move on when he says march, run at the order to ‘double-quick,’ and iudeed obey every word spoken to them. Well, Organ hit upou this plan. ¢ took Mora into the ring at least once every day, and writing the word ‘March’ in Ro- man characters about four or five iucues long on the board, placed it before the auimii’s eyes, and after allowive him to scan it, theu pointiug tothe white letters, shouted the order March,“ whiteii, of course, was cumplied with. He found by writing the letters wulle the board was held be- tore the elephant Wasa surer Way Of attracting the animal’s atvention to the characters, so he now writes in this way. Mora soon grew accus- t med to the board and the ietters, and now very seliom makes a mistake when a written com- mandis presented to him. He will march tue moment the last letter is finished, halt when the trainer shows him this word, and, indeed, recognizes every 1uscription of this Kind Organ places on the board. The elephant will not be introduced into the ring jn this new act until next season, by which time the trainer thinks it possible to edneate the waoie herd in reading so that the words of command may be given in writing on a large black-boara. Having succeedea so well in teaching Mora to read words ue will now try to advauce backwards by teaching him the alphabet, aud I myself think ii possible that the elephant, Which is quick and intelligent, — be taught by means of lettereu blocks to speil at least the words that heis familiar with in the ring.” Giving Him a Send-Off. At about half-past 8 last evening a party of young men, eighty strong, and headed by a string band, set out to capture Mr. John Curran, a local songster and impersonator of note, who has been engaged by Cal Wagner fur his minstrel woupe. John leaves Monday for Chicago to sign the con- tract, and his friends resolved to give im a send- off, which they did in grand style. The party, after securing John, took possession of No. 13 engine-house, and the fun commenced. Messrs. Crow, Curran, Burnes, Roberts, Levy, Keeiy, Me- Creery, Morris, Welder, Martin, Qole, Barrette, Gross, Hogan and others assisted iy the pleasure of the evening by speech-making, serie-comie singing and dancing, in the latest improved style.

SPRINGFIELD, August 9.—The reunion of the veterans of the war of both sides have became fashionable of late years, and the “blue and gray” are intermingled and inter- twined in a highly public and sentimental man- ner. The Wilson Creek reunion is probably the most successful affair of the kind yet held. There isa genuineness and sincerity in the greeting of ex-federal and ex-confederates who meet here for the first time in twenty-two years, that shows that American hearts are meeting and that former foes are to-day friends. Springfield has done herself much honor upon this occasion. The decoration of the puulie buildings is upon an extensive scale, the idea of a commingling of the blue and gray being ever present.

Ramon Trevino, ex-Governor of Nuevo Leon Mexico, and brother of Gen. Trevino; his son, Ramon Trevino, jr., Major Zomona and James A. Ord, son of the late Gen. Ord, are at the Southern to-day, having arrived this morning from New York on their return trip to Meiterey. Gen. Tre- vino, his brother says, sailed for Europe last week. A reporter of the Pust-Dis- PATCH met the party at the hotel, and, through Mr. Or ex- Governor Trevino ’ nut be ng very familiar with the English language, had a talk on Mexican matters. The ex-Governor said that he had been away from Mexico fora mouth past aud was not familiar for this reason with recent events, but with reference to the recent sensational reports that large numbers of Mexicans were inimical to American enterprises and feared that the influx of American capital under the leadership of such men as GRANT AND DIAZ would result in the annexation of the coun- : sal speaking for his own province, that they were § faise.

Mace Jones, the murderer of Marshal Green of Brooklyn, escaped from the County Hospital at1 o'clock this morning, and up to noon to-day had succeeded in escaping arrest, although the Belle- ville and East St. Louis police and the deputy sheriffs throughout the county are scouring the surrounding country in search of the fugitive. Tne escape of the murderer is shrouded in mystery, the county offi- cials refusing to furnish ay information on the subject only that Jones is at large. Jones, it wil! be rememberea, shot and killed Henry Green nearly two weeks ago at Brooklyn, after receiy- ing gunshot wounds himself whica his physicians pronounced necessarily fatal. He was re- moved to the County Hospital last Friday to prevent the friends of Green executing their threats of lynching. The physician in charge pronounced his injuries so serious that a guard was unnecessary and the nurse momentarily ex- pected to report the demise of the murderer, so in- tense seemed his suffering. When the nurse made his rounds to the different beds this morn- ing shortly after 1 o’clock, Jones was miss- ing. The alarm was given and search) commenced, but the only trace of the fugitive to be found was tracks of wagon wheels outside the hospital. Deputy Sheriff’ Anthony visited Brooklyn this morning and ascertained that a spring wagon and team of horses were stolen from there last night, and also that three negroes suspected of being implicated in the numerous robberies of freiyht cars in that locality, the deadif assault on Waytchman Me- Lean, and finally in the quarrel that led to Mar- shal Greens death, disappeared about the same time as the team aud wagonu. A farmer from Ridge Prairie reported that a team and wagon carrying four negroes, one of whom was lying in the bed of the wagon, passed bis place about 5 o’clock this morning. Joues Was certainly unable to leave the hospital without assistance, being shot throbgh the left breast, through the jeft arm aud having a severe bullet wound extending aleng the scalp from the forehead to the top of the head. No guard was on duly when the murderer escaped, and the gen- eral iimpression is that his friends secured a vehicle and carried him away without attracting the attention of any one. The county officials are confident of recapturing him, but it is a well known fact he was a member of a desperate gang who will take every means to preveut bis recap- ture. Coroner Bader held an Inquest this morning on the body of George Youngman, who died sua- denly last eveniug at the residence of Fred. Poit- ger. The testimony went to prove that deceased came to his death from general debility, and the jury rendered a verdict to that effect. Young- un Was a German, butcher, and has no relauives ere.

The giving of bread and meat to the hungry and of clothing to the naked is charity indeed, but this lacks the esthetie element, the delicate sentiment which is in the work of sur- rounding the confinea and suffering poor with the perfumed beauties of field and garden. Fruits and jellies, as distinct from bare necessi- ties, may be placed in the same category. I heara the burden of — A touching story of how overty And disease Was lightened and brightened — a breath of nature's fragrance and beauty. A well-to-do English family came to this country not long ago and the wife and mother being in delicate health, Texas was selected as the stop- ping place. Walle there, striving to build ny bs rome for those dependent on him, the man came sick, and, after an iliness continuing long enough to consume nearly all of what he had, died. The woman in the meabwhuile, borne down with care and anxiety, became worse and it was soon plain that consumption bad marked her for a victim. So galbering up her slender means she started with two children and an aged mother to return to her friends in England to die. A few days ago. while on their erraud of mercy, some ladies of the Flower Mission found this family in a mean, upper back room of a tenement house ip this citv on the verge of starvation. Only a few crusts of dry bread were in the room and nota cent of money to buy more, while the younger woman was Unable to move from her bed, It was ouly a short time before not only were food and delicacies placed before the hungry family, but a beautiful basket of flowers filled the room with iragrauce. Those who saw the face of the dying woman light up with joy and the tears trickle dow her tuiu cheeks when her eyes rested on the flowers needed no other reward. reminded her of the green fields and She said they meadows ol her English home once more, which she could never hope to see again, and that they were bet- ter than the food. A florist in the city, hearing of the incident. sent her two lovely plants in pots, and u gentleman has ordered a bouquet to be sent to her room every Morning. Owns of the attendants at a hospital told me that nothing gave the patients greater pleasure than the weekly visits of flowers from the Mis- sion. dried up they cling to them until comes. Even after the bouquets are faded and a new one Not infrequently has it happened that dying patients have asked that a cherished banch oft flowers be buried with them. Especially are the flowers and picturespooks a source of delight to the children, Who are wouderfully pleased with such simple gifts, and look eagerly forthe coming of the ladies from week to weeks * one except Mr. Flint. I wag inthe neighborhood of Twelfth and Main streets, one day this week, and while condemning the smoke and dust that filled the air in volumes, was struck with the appearance of one huge chimuey, while the works in connection with it seemed to be running at full capacity, emitted ; arcely a particle of smoke. At the same time the — 2 in the neighborhood were belching forth dense volumes of smoke and soot. The chimney belonged to the Medart Patent Pulley Company, out in solid rock, aud 1 went dowu into the cellar, cut to look at the furnace, The only peculiar feature about it was that the coal, instead of being thrown directly into the fire, was shoveled into side receptacles, where a small en- gine worked the grate bars in such a manner as do feed he fire gradually with coal condition of coke. nearly in the In this way the fire is never smothered, and hence there is almost perfect com- bustion and iittle smoke, while intense beat is economically obtained. It was a practical proof that the smoke nuisance may be abated to advant- age, and the sooner the remedy is appiled to the big smoke yenerators in the city the better. AFTER this week the theater-goers will be at a loss to find pleasant means of spending their even- ings, as Uhrig's will be closed. Manager Ford, in spite of cool weather, has hada very successful season, but he should have had it, as he enjoyed a ractical monopoly of the theater business.

A PIONEER STORY, Major Riddle’s Sons Captured and Brought Up by Indians. From the Terre Haute Express. The question is often disputed as to whether ‘Tecumseh cominanded at the battle of Fort Harrison. Mr. Boord says that he uid, and tells the following story to prove it: Stephen and Abraham Riddle, sons of Maj. Riddle of Kentucky, were stolen in the early days of Kentucky by the Indians and carried North. ‘Lhe youths were raised among the Indians and became warriors. Stephen mar- ried a squaw and became a chief on account of his bravery. But Abraham was never nothing more than a common, dirty Indian. At last Stephen tired of his Inuian life, and longed to see the faces of white people. He could remember his home in Kentucky, his He was a powerful chief aud commanded many war- riors. One day he called a council and told his warriors that he thought of going to see Gen. Wayne, then at Fort Wayne. The watriors ail declared their determination to go with him, and — set off on their journey. They traveled from the Northwestern part of Indiana to near Fort Wayne. Chief Stephen did not wisu to pre- sent himself suddenly before the fort with his warriors for tear it would create alarm. He waited in the timber till one of the sol- diers came out to hunt, and captured him. He told the soldier that he meant him no harm, aud that he wanted to see Gen. Wayne. Lhe soldier conducted him and his band to within a few hundred yards of the fort, when, fearing treachery to the fort, he ran away from tiie Indians and alarmed the gar- rison. But Chief Steve succeeded in making the soldiers understand that he was friendly, and Gen. Wayne, accompanied by a guard, came out to treat with him. Wayne ex- pressed astonishment that the chief shouid talk such good English, and asked him why it was. Then the chief told him his story and how his heart yearned to see his pale-taced father and moth- er. Gen. Wayne was astonished. He knew Major Riddle, aud knew that he had two stolen boys. “Where is your brother?“ asked Gen. Wayne. Here he is, said Chief Steve, leading Abraham for- ward. Kut Abraham was an onery looking Indian, and Gen. Wayne did not take a shine to hun.” Tou return here when the moon has twice filled, and I will show you your father,” said the General. The Indians went their way, and Gen. Wayne sent a message to Maj. Riddle, in Kentucky, telling him that he had found his long lost sons. The Major came to the fort. is two sons had been there several days waiting for him. Chief Steve met his father with a dignified and chiefly air, and offered him the pipe of peace. The father recognized him. Where is my other son?“ asked the father. My brother will not be here before to-morrow, as he is with the soldiers.“ said Chief Steve. Abraham, in true Indian style, had picked up with the soldiers and got drunk on fire- water. He had thrashed every soldier in the fort, andit had been found necessary to “buck aud gag” him to make him quiet. Maj. Riddle raved, and demauded that his other son be brought forthwith before him, and Gen. Wayne ordered him to be brought. Wheu the father gazed upon him he de- clared him no son of his, ana wanted to brain him. But Gen. Wayne reasoned with him, and at last the father recognized him. The two sons re- turned to Kantucky with their father, Steve taking his squaw. Steve was one of the sol- diers in Fort Harrison during the fight, and he declares that Tecumseh commanded, and that he could have killed him if he had so desired. Stephen afteward vocame a Baptist preacher, and preached in Terre Haute in early days. His squaw did not take to civil- ized life, and he gave her ponies and sent her back to the tribe. Mr. Boord says that the northwest corner block house of the fort was burned during the fight. When the battle raged the hardest a soldier stood exposed to ibe view of the Indians. and for hours threw water on the flames to keep them from spreadiug. A woman handed him the water. Another soldier went up to help him and was instantiy picked off. One Indian at- tempted to get into the fort by running through the flames, but he was overcome by the smoke and roasted to death. Soldiers in the fort say that many Indians were Killed. The Indians threw their dead into the river, and when they were driven away the soldiers found a perfect road leading down to the river where the Indians had dragged their dead.

KIRK, Cassvilie, Mo., says: “The best evidence of the virtues of Brown’s Iron Bit- ters is that tire demand is steadily increasing.” A Young Man's Revenge. From the St. James’ Gazette. M. Francisque Saroey has just favored the readers of the Nineteenth Century witha dissertation on the delicate subject of pro- tessional secrecy, and the obligation it some- times imposes of telling a lie. The circum- stances of a case cited by him in which the seal of secrecy was broken are of a very dra- matic chaarcter. A lady whose daughter was about to be married having acquired a sus- picion,that the antecedents of the fiancee were not of the most desirable character—that he had, in fact, undermined his constitution by early dissipation—called upon his medical adviser, Dr. Delpech, oné of the most distin- guished professors of the Montpelier iacul- ty of medicine, confided her suspicions to him, and asked if they were well founded. Tue Doctor fenced with the question as well as he could, and tried to avoid giving a di- rect answer. The lady insisted. “I do not address you as a professional man,” she sald, but I ask you, as the father of a fami- ly, would you give your daughter to tiis young man?’ Overcome by this appeal the Doctor gave a reluctant answer in the nega- tive and the marriage was broken off. Some days afterward the carriage in which the Doctor used to drive to his class came to a stand before the dour of the medical school, but without either the phvsiciau or the coachman, who were both found lying dead on the read at some distance, each with a bullet lodged in a vital part. ‘Lhe circum- stances of the murder were shrouded in mystery fora time; but eventually the dead body of a young man, who had blown his brains out, was found lying in a room the windows of whieh looked on to the scene of the assassination. It was the body of the young man whom Dr. Delpech said he would not accept as a son-in-law ; aud there could. of course, be no reasonable doubt that he was the assassin. A Young Kaffir Seeks a Wife.

Dudes, Whoopers-Up and Bouncers 5 Viewed from Abroad. From the London News. The Americans of the United States are rapidly evolving hew human types with ap- propriate names. About the dude every one hows all that can be said. The dude is recognized as a “masher” (also, we fondly hope, an American word) without the lordiy aud arrogant 28 of the proud youths in singular collars. The business of the dude is to reduce democratic society to a sad well- bred Jevel. The natural good spirits of the rave demand to be tamed and chastened, and the dude chastens them. He behaves in America like the highly well-born people at hume who are too pure and proper ever to see any fun in anything, who think wit val- gar and humor 2 taste.” Struggling ugalust the du mérican society (not in its higher strat developed the “whoop- er-up.” The d of the whooper-up are to prevent the givety of nations from being eciipsed by the Aud. At present the whoop- 6r-tip only practices in musi¢ halls “and laces where they sing” and smoke. Lf the un lags the office of the whooper-up is to stimulate excitement, inflame the spirit of revelry, and banish gloomy thought. Not the most delicate but the most efficient invans are selected by the whooper-up. who is often a lady, dowered by nature with high spirits and the gift of song. At this sad moment, When we are all so “susceptible,” when the Chinese and Anamites and pe ple of the Congo and the Hovas are all involved in gloom, the whole world needs an interna- tional Whooper-up. At home we have had a social whoo; er-up, whum we kindly lent the ne but he seeins unequal to the oc- casion. Many a party in the season that has waned sadly required the services of a wWhoopet-up wit a cheerful manner, a stock OL new stories, and a proper contempt for well-bred drearinead.“ A literary whoop- ér-up is sadly needed by most of our con- temporary novelists, whose volumes are de- ficient in gayety. The city has long pined fur a commercial whooper-up, and, in fact, life needs to be whooped-up in all its de- partments. Ine other fresh American type is less re- markable—the bouncer. One might suppose that a bouacer was a noisy braggart; but no. A scientitie writer in the Nation describes the bouncer as a “‘silent, strong man.” Every one who mixes much in society in Whitechapel will understand the functions ol the bouncer when we explain that he is merely the English ‘‘chucker-out.” When the whooper-up has been somewhat too suc- cessful, when liberty verges on license and gayety on wanton delirium, the bouncer se- iects the gayest of the gay, and—bounces Um. He does it, we learn, with the utmost delicacy and gentleness, as a parent, more in sorrow than in anger, might bounee an erring child. To „bounce“ is simply to prevail on persons whose mirth interferes with the general enjoyment to withdraw from society which they embarrass rather than adorn. The bouncer alinost invariably uses gentle Means and moral persuasion. He bounces the erring “as if he loved them.“ His reputation for strength and silence is SO great that no one cares to resist the bouncer, and the boldest hold their breath and let themseives be bounced without a murmur. To the political philosopher it may well seem as if Europe needed a boune- er. Prince Bismarck has once performed the office with firmness, and may be relied on, perhaps, in certain circumstances, to cor- rect the too exuberant member of interna- tioual society.

It is rather interesting to watch the man- ner by which old customs have been slightly changed and handed down froin age to age. Peculiarities of old traditions still linger among us and are forked over to posterity like a wappy-jawed tea-pot or a long-time mortgage. No one can explain it, but the fact still remains patent that some of the oddities of our ancestors continue to appear from time to time, clothed in the changing costumes of the prevailing fashion. Along with these choice antiquities, and carrying the nut-browa flavor of the dead and relentless years comes the amende hon- orable. From the original amende, in which the offender appeared in public clothed only in a cotton flaunel shirt and with a rope about his neck as an evidence of a formal recantation, down to this day, when 8 times) the pale editor in a stickful of type admits that “his informant was in error,” the amende honorable has warched alon with the easy tread of time. The biue-eye molder of public opinion, with one suspender hanging down at his side, and writing on a sheet of news-copy paper, has a more ex- tensive costume perhaps than the old-time offender who bowed in the dust in the midst of the great populace, and with a halter under his ear admitted his offense, but he does not feel any more cheerful over it. l have been called upon several times to make the amende honorable, and 1 admit that it is not an occasion of mirth and mer- riment. People who come into the editorial office to invest in a retraction are generally healthy,and havea stiff reserved mauner that no cheerfulness or hospitality can soften. I remember of an incident of this kind which occurred last summer in my office while I was writing r scathing. A large man with an air of protound perspira- tion about him and a plaid flannel shir stepped into the middle of the room an breathed in all the air that IJ was not using. He said he would give me four minutes which to retract, and pulled outa watch by which to ascertain the exact time. I asked him if he would not allow me a moment or two to go over to the telegraph office and to wire my parents of my awful death. He said I could walk out that door when 1 walked over his dead body. Then I waited a long time, till he told me my time was up, and asked what 1 was waiting for. I told him 1 was waiting for him to die so that I could walk over his dead body. How could I walk over a corpse until life was extinct? * * * * — * « * He stood and looked at me, at first in as- tonishment, afterward in pity. Finally tears welled up in his eyes and plowed their way down his browa and grimy face. Then he said that I need not fear him. “You are safe,” said he. “A youth who is so patient and so cheerful as you are, one who would wait for a healthy man to die so that you could meander over his pulseiess remnants ought not to die a violent death. A soft-eyed seraph like you whois no more conversant with the ways of the worla than that, onght to be put in a glass vial of alco- hoi and preserved. I came up here to KIll you and throw you into the rainwater-barrel, but now tuat I know what a patient disposi- tion you have | snudder to think of the crime I was about to commit.” MAGUIRE’S Quinine and Iron gives strength.

The first man who came in leaned over the foot rail and put both el- bows on the bar and stood in that position until his “bitters’’ were prepared. While he was drinking three others came in and ordered their decoctions. One man rested himseif on his left elbow, the middle one ut both arms down and held his chin in his ands and * other man leaned over, e his legs and put his right elbow on the bar. A party of four followed. They were all traveling men, and as soon as they had dropped their gripsacks each man put an el- bow on the counter and called for lager.

Saratoga Letter in the Louisville Courier-Journal, lf the men who spent their lives in the ac- cumulation of wealth could see the uses to which it is put by those who inherit it after them, they would agree with the preacher“ that its acquisition was ali vanity. During their years of labor and privation they could not tell whether the men who were to come after them would be wise men or fools, and yet they have control of that which it took vears tu amass. During the past week Sara- toga has been full of gossip in relation to the orgies of a dissolute young man, the inherit- or of his father’s wealth, and his reckless purchase of a diamond neckiace for which he drew a check for $20,000. Gossip even goes so far as to say that when he made the purchase he knew so little what he was do- ing that he wrote the check first for $24,000, but his soberer companion induced him to tear it up and only draw for the stipulated rice. Not long before this last purchase he iad bought $8,000 worth of diamunds, whici he presented, and the wearer of the $20,000 necklace attracted much attention act the garden party on Wednesday afternoon, Gossip further says that the prodigal was so far gone in liquor wheu he retired to his room that the morning after the purchase the chambermaid found the necklace under his bed and tuok the custly jewels to the of- fice, the owner being for a time oblivious to the fact of the purchase or its disappearance until it was restored to him.

By the arrival at Newcastle, N. S. W., of the bark Aibenainformation was received of the terrible encounter whicn one of her crew had with ashark, from which he escaped by fighting the monster with his jack-knife. The sailor was Wm. Hyde, who, together with another seaman, was aloft bracing the ards during the prevaience of a heavy gale. yde was flung into the water, and, not- withstanding the fearful sea and wiud, the mate and two sailors put off to his rescue in a small dingy. it was three-quarters of an hour before the craft came near the poor fel- low, andit was then seen that he was in a partially nude state. A shark was also close to him, and was making desperate efforts to secure its vie- tim. yde had his jack-knife, and with it he managed to keep the monster at bay. When the shark saw the boat approaching it appeared to realize that it was about to be deprived of its prey, and consequently made increased efforts to close with Hyde. The nearer the boat 1 the more des- perate became the shark, and While one of the men was hauling Hyde into tue dingy the other two had to beat the voracious ani- mal off with their oars. The poor fellow was at last got safely into the boat, and shortly afterwards reached the Aibena. It seems that the shark never got sufficiently close to bite Hyde. His partial nudity was caused by the fall, as immediately he struck the water his clothes split almost in two.

Spoiled Their Fun, From the New York World, One evening last week, while coming from Long Branch on a boat, a maiden fair to see sat with her loverin the corner. The writer sat outside, near the window. %% you remember when we first met, darling?” he asked. “Yes, pet,“ she answered, in oleomargar- ine accents. „Do we love each other as well and truly as we did then?“ “Yes, sweet.“ ; “Wil we always love each other as we do now?“ Jes, dovey; I trust and pray that we may “One kiss, then. Quick! Nobody is look- ing. With eyes uplifted, looking love, she pursed her cherry lips, and just as the crit- ical moment arrived a cruel, horrid man with a humpbacked nose and sawbuck eyes poked his head through the window and re- arked: „Mou didn’t see anything ov my terbacker, did yer? I was sittin’ in that corner. Oh, no! Here It is! Beg pardon!“ —and as he fished a paper of tobacco from his coat-tail pocket his head disappeared. She resembied a Roman mother pleading for her babes, and if she had had a gatling gun with her there would have been murder.
