How Washington Correspondents Talk About the Telegraph Strike. The Ludicrous Failure of Cleveland Experts Who Tried to Report the Garfield Obsequies —A Reserve Corps that Came in at the Knick of Time—Some Curious Facts. Special Correspondeuce of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, August 18—Probably no class of men hail the prospect of the telegraph opera- tors returning to work with greater enthusiasm than do the special correspondents of Washing- ton. They have been great sufferers by the change in operators. There has been great complaint among the business public that their dispatches have been ‘“bungled,’’ but their tribulations have been slight as compared with those of the Washington correspondent. The chagrin of the citizen whose dis- patch to another citizen is so mangied as to appear stupid or senseless, is in this case magnified a thousand fold—yes a hundrea thousand foid—for ado not the remorseless press and the ubiquitous newspaper carry the btundérs into every nook and corner and scatter them broadcast over the entire country, making the correspondent appear tobe ignorant or stupid or willfully malicious, asthe ease may be? More than that, the position of telegraph operator at Washington is different trom that of operator at any otner point, and the “plug” who can do pret- ty good work elsewhere is utterly worthless here. The chirography of persons who write for the ress 1S proverbially uneertain. and = un- ess anh operator is familiar with the news- paper hand it is very hard to decipher. More than that the class of press matter handied here is peculiar to itself, with characteristics that re- quire operators thorveughly familar with the events of the day, and of other days as well. A Iman who could understand and intelligently transmit a ten-word message announcing the fail- ure of a fond husband to catch his home train, or could comprehend the meaning of A three-word telegram announcing the arrival of a new baby, might cut a sorry figure with a 2.000 words special about a Senatorial discussion of the tariff, or a House wrangle over - the’ ab- struse international problem. To be a successful operator in Washington, a man must be familiar with the names and _ posi- tion,of public men, and must also be familiar with the news topics engaging the attention of the President. Often the correspondent in the rush of work—and the life of the successful correspond- ent is pretty much ALL RUSH-- may Omit a word here or there in his hurriedly written manuscript, and, without reading it over, sends it to the operator. If the sender is familiar with the topic discussed, he can readily supply the word or words by the eontext, as he can make out names and words not legibly writien. If he i$ NOt intelligent upon the subject under treat- ment, he makes a small omission a large blunder, mistakes words which are writ- ten for others worse, bungles hames in a manner positively frightful. The result is that the telegraph managers have learned the necessity of keeping their very best and most intelligent operators in Washingion. While the System which will allow a correspondent to file dispatches badly written and searcely intelligible even to an expert, may be, and probably is wrong, the telegraph managers accept it quietly, as the voluine of business here is too large to quarrel with, Os they meet the emergency by bringing their very best overators here and keeping theim here. The result is that when these men stop work it is impossible to fill their planes in a man- ner satisfactory to anvboy. “Why. there is scarcely a lineof my matter that is free from blunders when it reaches the paper, “said an experienced correspondent in speaking of the matter the other day. Considering that this correspondent by reason of his peculiar ehirography seldom gets more than three words ina line of his manuscript and sometimes but one, this statement me be taken with some al- jiowance. It. however illustrates a general fact, evei, if it dves not, expricitlvy state one. “You can't get operators to do good work here un- Jess they have had experience here,’ he eontin- ued. “I’ve seen that tried over and over again, not only here but at other points where the class of matter that we file here was being temporarily filed. Now take Long Branch, for instance, dur- ing the time that GARFIELD LAY ILL there. At first we could get nothing off. The Jo- cal operators there were, of course. paralyzed with one man’s werk, and it was necessary to geta special force of operators, and instruments. and wires at once, Well, « lot of operators were sent down from New York, but biess you! they couldn't do anything with the matter. ‘It piled up on them, and what they did get off was terribly bungled. Well, they got more eg and experts too, but still they were un- able to get away witheit. The chirography and the names were too much for them. Finaily, in despair they sent fora lot of Washington opera- tors, and we were saved. At Cleveland the ex- perience was equally iuteresting. After Gar- field’s death, when it was Known that the funeral Was to take place at Cieveland. the company began to make arrangements for the work there. The Western men, however, did not much fancy the idea of the company having to send Wash- tngton operators there, and so they went to work and gatnered up alltheir best operators, real experts for ordinary work, and sent them to Cleveland to do the work and teach those Eastern swells a lesson. The managers quietly consented to this, but, at the same time sent a force of their Washington men to pe on hand if they were need- ed, for they remembered their Long Branch expe- rience. Weli the funeral arrived and so did the correspondents, and the flood of matter began to pour into the telegraph offices. Thousands after thousands of words came in. until the humber had reached nearly a quarter of a million. At first the Western experts were amused, then they begau to get down steadily to work. Pretty soon when they saw the class of matter they were to handle, as well as the amount, they settled down to hard work. Meanwhile the little band of Washington oper- ators, under instructions from headquarters, were quietly resting from their journey and awaiting results, The matter continued to pour in ia ali sorts of condition, and the operators began to perspire andj grow profane, and the managers to grow nervous. By 9 o’clock they were hopelessly buried, and at 10 they threw up their hands and acknowledged that they couldn’t do it. Then the Washington operators were called to the front, and they took hold of the matter as though it was priut, and the way they cleared up those tables was a wonder to those experts from the West. They may talk about blunders in commercial messages, and all that sort of thing, but the tact is that no office has felt the need of the old and expe: ienced men as this has. Luckily for the corres pond- ents this strike came in a dull time. I might say too, tifat it is lucky for the company, for if it had come in a busv time they wou'd surely have been forced to Surrender to the strikers. That is the great mistake that the operators mude. They chose a time when there was less business on the lines than at any other period of the year, and the result was that they made a miserable failure of a strike which was phenomenal in having the svin- pethy and moral support of nearly every class of community. GALVESTON BE ACH. te es ee Resort That Has Very Few Kquals in America, Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. GALVESTON, August 16.—“On the beach at Gal- veston” has now beén changed te “At the beach in Galveston.” That magnificent structure, the Beach Hotel, erected through the enterprise of such men asCol. St. Clair of Galveston and Col. H. M. Hoxie*of St. Louis and others, was. though not quite complete, opened for business by J. H. Arvey Pierce, Esq., late of the Grand Central Ho- tel, New York, on the first day of J uly, 1883. It has been crowded with visitors ever since, and, from present indications, it will con. tinue to be so during the entire season There is no reason, however, for not making of it a winter, as wellas a summer resort, as the climate at this point hardly varies 30° the year around. While the people of St. Louis and other northern cities are geet from & cold of 30° be- low zero, Galyeston’s population is enjoying surf bathing.

He Mistakes Two Barbers Discussing the Sunday Law for Prize-Fighters. Theré was a large crowd around two men who were talking excitedly and waving their arms vio- lently at each other on Olive street this morning. TO @ person a half block away it seemed as if the men were having a red-hot set-to, regardless of the Marquis of Strawberry or any other rules. It looked that way to a policeman who came suddenly around the Sixth-street corner, and his strategic mind was at once entered oy a brilliant idea. Turning away from the scene of the excttement he proveeded in the direction of a hoodjuin-box on thé riext street. Sending in an alarm the patrol wagon came booming along ina few minutes, briuging two other officers to the spot. The trioof biue coats hastened around the corber of Sixthand Olive streets, dashed boldly into the throng, using their clubs freely on dude hats and baid heads, and in a sevona or two were at the side of combatants. Clutching each by the back*ot the neck and waving their clubs over the ears of the quaking. prisoners they hurried them to the wagon and carriea them away triumphant- ly amid the ringing of bells and the clatter of horses’ hoofs and _ the shouts of the mob. At the station the pessoners were charged with notoriousiy disturb- ng the peace, and the officers,failing to get either to put a charge of murderous assault against the , other, were telling the story of the fight, and had just got to the point where one pulled a pistol on the o her when a respectable eliizen interfered. “These gentlemen,” said he, “had no fight. They are gvod, honest, hard-working barbers, they shed no blood except when they accidentally _— off tne gable end of a chin,or give you agash reaching into the jaw-bone.”” “Search them,’ said the Sergeant in charge of the station, “and see if they’ve got razors,” The search was made and brought to light a red necktie, a bottle of cologne, a guitar string, a ticket for a steamboat excursion, a song-book and some love verses that had been wrapped up iu ‘kiss-candies.”’ “You see,” the citizen remarked, pointing to the articles spread upon the Sergeant’s desk, *I was right. These men are barbers, and although toa stranger it might have appeared from their actions tbat they were engaged in a rough-and- tumble fight, nothing was further from their thoughts; they were merely indulging in a friend- ly argument about the Sunday law.” This explanation saved their lives, and they were set at liberty with the gentle admonition that when they feit like discussing the Sunda law again they hire the fair grounds at Vinita, T., for the performance. _ NO NAME YET. Mayor Ewing Talks About Gross’ Rejection —ihe Police Justiceship. Mayor Ewing stated this morning to a Post-Drs- PATCH reporter that he would not send in a nomi- nation forChiefofthe Fire Department to-mor- row night, as such action on his part was not in order until the time for reconsideration of the vote by which Gross was rejected has passed by. “The Council will probably adjourn unttl Friday night, and then Tecan sendin a new name. I am still unable to get over my surprise at Gross’ defeat. No one had a # éword to Say against him, There , was nothing that T could see but an o ory to a change in the Chief. I shall probably send in some other nomination to-morrow nignt.” in the ante-chamber olf the Mayor’s office the reporter met Cornelius MeBride, who is the Mayor’s notuinee for Police Justice of the First District. McBride was vibe a named for the Second District and Denison for the First. When the names were sent in the second time the posi- tions were reversed. . McBride said; ““When my ome comes up 1 will be rejected.” *. Vv hw” “Because the division of officers originally agreed upon by the Solid Seven is still to be insisted upon. Messrs.

The police have not yet succeeded in getting any trace of “Sleve” Seeley and “Watch” Grady, the confidence men. Seeley and Grady were ar- rested on Saturday morning and taken to East St. Louis, where they escaped. The charge against them was obtaining $50 under false pre- tences from a farmer at the Relay Depot. After the men had escaped, Officer Cavanaugh came across to this side, and found Seeley throwing dice for drinks, in asatoon on Sixth and Pine streets. He itrrested him, when a fight ensued. Cavanaugh and the prisoner had several pouts at rough and tumble, when Officer Doyle came u : and not knowing Cavanaugh, he arrested both men. Seeley escaped in the confusion. Neither he nor Grady have been seen since, Both are very expert confidence men and are well known to the police, A Will Probated.

The Saloon-Keepers’ Attorney Says the Gov- ernor has No Business to Dictate—What the Police Commissioners Think — Interviews with Messrs. Caruth, Thoman and McGin- Nise To-day a batch of Sunday cases were docketed in the Court of Criminal Correction, but were continued until September 18. Until the decision is given in the Lemp ease, which is set for next Friday, all cases docketed for hearing previous to that date will be continued. A score of new cases made yesterday were taken from tbe lists by the police this marae. but will not be presented to the Assistant Circuit Attorney for several vr as the issue is rather at a standstill, and it will not expedite business to any extent to issue the warrants now. Gov. Crittenden has been interviewed again, and insists that the law shail be carried out. Con- cerning the gubernatorial sentiments J. C. Mc- Ginniss said: “I don’t like to try a case in the newspapers, and [| have ever said anything about Gov. Crittenden’s actions since he has occupied his present osition. We are on very good terms, having been raised in Ken- tucky and Knowing each other very well. We were both ip.Lexington when the war broke out. I do want to say this. bowever. Tuat when Gov. Crittenden says I have illy advised my clients to try a costly experiment be says what he has no right to say, and I furthermore say that in the interview published he transcends his authority and it simply amounts to an attempt to intimidate and bulldoze the Court.” MR. CARUTH INTERVIEWED. ‘*What do you think of the Governor’s latest ut- terances on the Sunday law business?” a reporter of the Post-DIsPATCH asked Police Coimmission- er Dave Caruth, after colliding with him on Maina street this morning. “What should I think of them?” returned the boss conservator of the public peace. “Did you read what he said?” “T did.” “Did you absorb the full significance of the statement that if the Sunday law had been en- forced properly there would have been no trouble?” “T did.” “Well?” “The Sunday lawis being enforced, isn’t it?” said the hardware hero, turning questioner. “Did you ever see a quieter Sabbath in St. Louis than yesterday was. A number of saloon-keepers kept their places open, Dut you must remember that St. Louisisa big city,and there are all sorts of people in it. There are hundreds of people who resist that law because they think it is an unjust and oppressive one. As for the Governor, he’s all right. If the Governor wasa member of our board his views would be modified. As it is, we are obeying his injunctions and keeping to the requirements of our oath of office. The Governor, you must recollect, has just returned froma _ to the West and is not in possession of all the facts in the case. Some coid-water man may have got hold of his ear and filled it with ex- axgerated stavements of the situation here. but I am satisfied if we all sat down together and talked the thing over the Governor would believe as we do. The Governor, I say, is ali right. It is his duty to see that the law is entorced, and he is trying to have it enforced. We are doing the same ing... Neither we nor the Governor made the law. e didn’t put it on the statute books, and we can’t be held responsible tor it. The law is there and it must be entorced. That’s all there is tc it. I don’t see that the Police Com- missioners caf do any more than they have done. It is = as well to take this thing easily and let it adjustitself. If they give us time there will be no trouble,” MR. ALVIS THOMAN, to whom the Governor ailudes in his interview, said to the reporter, lifting both hands and push- ing him off: “I have nothing to say whatever.” “What, nothing?” “Not—a—thing. I have no opinion on what the Governor says.” Mr. Thoman has evidently come tothe concin- sion that talking for publication is not the best business in the world. He says he has been mis- represented. Other saloon-keepers are willing to say that the Governor has gone cut of his way to persecute them, and they mutter significantly as they refer to Gov. Crittenden’s late politica) as- irations and the way they will crush him when 16 Next enters the political arena. MR. HIRZEL TALKS. Mr. Rudolph Hirzel, one of the attorneys of the Saloon-Keepers’ Protective Association was asked bis opinion of the Governor’s remarks. “I think,” said he, “they are entirely unealled for. The Governor has a perfect right to advise the Police Commissioners what to do, but he has ho business to dictate toa court what it shall do.” “Do you consider he has doue that ”” “I do, provided, of course, he is correctly re- ported. He says ‘acourt would not dare decide against the Downing law,’ or words to that effect. Now, Gov. Crittenden has no right to say such a thing as that, for it is practically intimi- dating the court, These Sunday law cases are on trial, Very good. While they are on trial it is not the proper thing for an executive to pre- judge them. There is a_ difference of opinion on the application of that law. { fur one, believe the Sunday closing part of it is invalidated by another law, and I would not go to work and advise a lot of men to take a step I did not think they would succeed in.” “But dia not the Supreme Court declare the law constitutiof~ial?”’ “The y question before the Supreme Court was whether the Downing law was applicable to tbe city of St. Louis as well as to the State. The Supreme Court decided thatit was. The point we raise is an altogether different one. “Whatis the Ambs case the Governor refers 9 “That concerns the constitutionality of the Sunday law of 1845, It was decided that the law was constitutional, and that a man could be restrained from selling liquors on Sunday even though he had alicense to sell liquors. That proposition of the Governor’s we do not dispute.”’ “But you do dispute the right of the Governor to say that the court will not dare, ete.?”’ “IL do. The Governor is wrong in that.” *Do you think his declaration will influence the court?’ “Well, Judge Noonan is a good man, and & man who is not to be influenced by anything the Governor ima say. Still, the Governor ought to know enough not to prejudice a case in that manner.” HOUSE-BREAKING. A Slick Entrance Effected Into the House of James Overton. Every how and then a burglary comes to light which is not put down on the calico. On Friday of week before last the residence of James Over- ton at 1221 Grattan street was entered and in gold coin and two valuable wigs be. longing to John 8. Overton were taken. The members of the family were out driving on the evening of that day until 9 o'clock, and the house was carefully closed up and the doors were locked. en they returned tne house was still carefully closed, but traces of the thieves were found in all of the rooms. They had made a comfortable meal from the contents of the refrigerator,and the table and bureau draw- ers had been carefully ransacked. ln an envelope in one drawer were $150 in gold certificates, but the envelope was thrown on the floor unopened among others. The jewelry of the ladies had been handled, but none of it was taken. Ina store room were some valuable relics and things that Mr. John 8. Overton had used while on the stage; these things had been all handied and thrown about, but only two wigs were taken and the coins above men- tioned, Among the coins were several English sovereigns, which Mr, Overton saia he could ictentify. The case, which was somewhat mysterious, was put into the bands of Detective Tucker, who has n aided by Sergt. Burke. The’whole matter was kept quiet, to give the detectives a chance to catch the game, but no elew has been found as yet. Mr. Overton says that these coins were the last remnants of cash he had saved from twenty years’ work onthe stage,and he feels a littie broken up on account of the theft. No traces of the way in which entrance been made to the house could be found. EAST ST. LOUIS. — Wm. Morris paid $5 and costs for disturbing the peace.

Ramsey and Walsh Refuse the 83500 Exposition Prize, The contract for making the CxCavations for the Expusition and Music Hall at what Will soon have passed into history as Missouri Park has been awarded to Thomas Rogers ato cents per yard. There are about 42.000 yards in th work, and the contact sill call for about $25.500. The executive committee of the board held a meeting this morning and another this afiernoon, anga meeting of the full board of directors is called for this evening. All the local arenitects who were awarded premiums of $500 have wecented the amount, with the exception of Messrs. Thomas Walsh and Charles K. Ramsey. The architects who have accepted the $500 speak of their action as making the best of 4 bad job, there is some tatk about Walsh going to the courts aud forcing the directors to award him the contract. Mr. C. K. Ramsey this morning. in dis- cussing the mutter, said: ; “Ehave informed the directors this morning that I did not propose to pluce any obstructions in their way, but at present [I evuld not accept the $8500 as ayment for my plan, until they hnav> complied with the terms of the circular, and awarded the contrat of making pians, ett., for the new building to to some of the competing arcfitects. | suppose that this action, on my part. lias destroyed any chance 1 may have ever hadio eet thie jov. but f[ take this stand to vindieate the dignity of the profession of arciiteets.” Otuer architects hold that the directors eanuct m law avoll award bg the first premium to one.of the competing architects. One arebitect said this morning that he believed that the directors intended to form a plan from ali those before them, and then to e lrust the building of it to Mr. Jeseph Givens, who has acted with them as an expert, during the consid- eration of the plans. There are, however, others who may believe that Thonims Walsh will be ulti- mately entrusted with the superiuiendence of the structure. Sucha presumption is given no weight by the directors, who speak freely, and with feeling, of Mr. Walsh's attitude. There is how avery general feeling that the tweive uni- form premium plan was uot the best that could have been adopted. It developed that Ramsey first suggested that plan, though he spoke only of seven plans, six of which shouid receive $59, and the seventh the contract, competition being open tothe world. George J. Barnett subaequentiy endorsed the plan, and suggested the invitation of five foreigu arciitects. —_—7 CUMING BACK. The Strikers all Over the Country Returning to their Keys. Col. Baker, local superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was busy this morn- ing, as on Saturday, in receiving applications for employment. Among other callers to-day wasa delegation of ten women operators who went out with the recent strike and who were anxious to return to their employment. Ool. Baker ex- piained to his visitors that it was impossible to re- instate all of them in thetr former positions, their places in mapy iustances having been taken by non-strikers, but lhe was able to take buck four out of the eight apnlicants. Out of adozen male operators Why called six were given work. At New York. New YORK, August 20.—Superintendent Hume- stone of the Western Union Telegraph Co., was kept busy this morning receiving applications for reinstatement from striking operators. About 100 male operators have been taken back since the strike was ended. Five more were reémployed this morning. Sixty ladies went out on strike, and of that number only twenty were taken back. it is expecied that twenty-five more will be taken this week. All line- nen who apply for reinstatement are rejected with the answer that their places nave uven filled. Nearly all the branch offices are open this morning. Jay Gould has expressed great satisfaction with. Gen. Eeckert’s manage- ment during the strike and the succuss resulting from it. It is expected that the company will be able to find positions for nearly all the strikers within a couple of weeks. It is emphatieaily de- nied that there is any disposiiion on the part of the company to punish the stsikers by refusing them employment. * DROWNED. A Man and Boy Meet Their Death in the River. A.sad accident, and one that resultedin the loss of two lives, occurred this morning shortly after 9 o’clock in the southern precinct of the Fourth Police District. At the time named a /man and boy whose names have not been ascer- tained, drove down at the foot of Mullanphy street with the intention of washing off the wagon, but they drove out too far, and man, boy, horse and wagon were all carried down by the rapid current and lost. Some boys were bathing near the scene aud told the man not to drive in. He endeavored t) check up, but before he could the horse siepped off into seven feet of water. Although diligent efforts have been made to dis- cover the names of the unfortunate man and boy the police have so far failed, “Manette” at the Pickwick To-Night. “Manette,” the new con@ic opera, the librette ot which was furmished by Mrs. H.

The little monkey King of uncertain lineage has plugged up a volcano with a champagne cork. ALL the expert striking telegraph opera- tors are being taken back into the service of the Western Union, while the clumsy fel- lows and the poor women who struck are “‘left.°’ Two dollars will be paid at this office to any person who can lay a finger on an orig- inal idea emanating from Col.

We are giad to Jearn that this family is still trying to baffle the wolf which is supposed to be eternally endeavoring to establish it- self on a poor man’s door-step. Se A COUPLE of Professors in the Virginia Military Institute at Lynchburg, Va., were caught in the act of preparing to fight a duel the other day and were bound over to keep the peace. They wanted to set the little military boys a fighting example. BUTTERMILK is now the fashionable drink in New York City. As soon as a big de- mand is created for the beverage the dealers will begin to adulterate it with clabber and tartaric acid, and then the people who drink it for health will be driven back to rum. ee THis city suffers a little from corruption in official circles; considerably from idiocy and a vast amount from incompetency and general worthlessness. Mr. FLap’s incom- petency has cost the municipality about two hundred thousand dollars, at a rough estimate. | i. A DISPATCH from the Presidential Explor- ing Party in the Valley of the Big Belly re- ports thatin the last trouting tournament Gen. STAGER made the largest catch, Sen- ator VEsT the second, and Mr. ARTHUR the third. It is evident that the President is breaking down under the strain. By way of preliminary advertising a cable dispatch announces that thirty thousand sets of HENRY IRvIN@’s photographs have been shipped to this country. Henry is surely coming. He may fail to please our people as an actor, but if he sells all the photographs he will be able to get back home with a fair profit. Curer SEXTON has suspended for one month the two members of Fire Company No. 7 who used brutal language when speak- ing of the accident in which their comrade, EuGENE O’GoRMAN, lust his life. The pun- ishment is well deserved and it is to be hoped that the lesson in good manners will not be lost on the Department. —_————S eres THE contractors who are excavating for the new St. Louis University building, at the corner of Grand and Lindell avenues, have spoiled about five hundred yards of the best drive in the city, by sprinkling four or five inches of clay over it through carelessness in loading their wagons. They should be compelled to clean up the street at once. Where is the Street Commissioner? ——_—_—_——_————_—_—_—_—_— WE are more or less pleased to learn from Gov. CRITTENDEN that a law enacted by the supreme law-making power in this State many years ago, forbidding the performance of common labor on Sunday, is no law at all, while a law enacted last winter, deyning to the people of this and other cities the right to congregate in beer gardens on Sunday and listen to music to the sipping of beer, is a valid statute and must be enforced at the point of the bayonet. —_—— In the matter of treut catching, Senator Vest seems to have kept up his end remark- ably well while assisting Gen. SaxerRman ~ _ 7. great work of destroying trout for fun. As fishing is au infallible evidence of statesman- ship itis time to begin talking about Mr, VEST as a candidate for the second place on the Democratic Presidential ticket. “VEST for Vice” will sound well in the National Convention when accompanied with a Mis- souri whoop. And then it will be an_ easy matter for the prairie poets to rhyme VEST with West, and talk about the little ‘Loch- invar’ who does all things the best. Which Missouri newspaper will be the first to hoist the name of G. V. for Vice-President? RR A GOOD SHOWING. Towards the end of last summer and in the first fall months when there was a great deal of croaking about the falling off in our ex- ports, and about the prospect of a great bal- ance of trade against us, the Post-DisPATCH repeatedly contended that the conditions at home and abroad were such as to insure the heaviest export trade we ever 6n- joyed. It is now announced from Washington that the forthcoming report of our foreign exchanges for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883, will show. that the value of the mer- chandise we exported during the year was $823,805,819, an increase of $73,263,562 over the preceding year: The value of imports of merchandise was $723,122,666, a decrease $1,529,908 as compared with the preceding year. Here we have a balance of $100,683,153 in our favor as courpared with a balance of only $25,902,683 in our favor the preceding year. Never before has the value of our exports or the entire volume of our foreign trade reached such dimensions. There was a de- crease of $2,103,151 in the value of corn and meal exports, a decrease of $14,819,805, in the value of meat and dairy products expprted, a decrease of $6,319,698 in value of petroleum exported, as compared with the preceding year; but the increase in value of cotton ex- ported was $47,513,977, and the increase in value of wheat and flour was $25,399,057, The Post-DIsPATCH claimed nearly a year ago that the increased export of these two staples would more than make up for the falling off in all other merchandise exports. HIGHLY DISVOURTEOUS. It is with sorrow of the most poignant character that we learn that an English publication, Vanity Fair, has been making a brutal assault upon the giddy American tourists who go abroad every year and leave something like two millions of American dollars in the hands of needy European land- lords, shop-keepers and other people who minister to the pleasures and vanities of the human race. The Cockney organ says that our representatives are, as a rule, ill-dressed, ill-mannered, ill-voiced; that they dress in bad taste and talk in worse; that they are generally uncouth, saucy, irreverent and without decent breeding. There is a goodly share of truth in this, but it must be remem- bered that this country has suffered a good deal from English tourists of bad manners. A lot of them came over here in 1775-6, and we were absolutely compelled to chastise them in order to get rid of them. Later on, in 1815, General PACKENHAM brought an excursion party to New Orleans, and our people had to turn out and actually shoot the visitors before ‘they could be made to understand that they were not wanted here. Even pow we are very much afflicted with British gawks, who annoy railroad officials, kill our buffalo, and mangle the language which we received from the English King some years ago in good condition. The cloth- ing of the British tourist is very offensive to us. His canes, and umbrellas and hat-boxes are a nuisance. His habit of damning our blarsted country is most exasperating to us. Upon the whole we think the English traveler is more of a nuisance than the American parvenu who rams around Eu- rope on a Cook’s ticket, and unless the language of Vanity Fair is apologized for at once we will make it very unpleasant for Chief Justice COLERIDGE when he gets over here next week. THE GOVERNOR’S THREAT. A State Administration which permits fla- grant violations of law and evasions of taxes by great corporations, and even acts as their agent in engaging knaves, for great rewards, to remove obnoxious men, generally tries to earnits pay by extra-officiousness against feebler law-breakers and extra zeal in more questionable cases. But Gov. CRITTENDEN 8 rendering a little tuo much extra service for a moderate salary, when he sets up as both prosecutor and Supreme Judge in all Sunday Jaw cases, and proclaims it a crime for citi- zens to appeal to the courts fur what they believe to be their legal rights. If he thinks he can win back the favor of the temperance agitators by making a hobby of closing St. Louis beer gardens on Sunday, we submit that he should try to do so with out presuming to dictate what the decisions of the courts shall be in all pending cases under the Sunday law, without prematurely impeaching the fidelity of officers as faithful as himself, and without threatening citizens with malicious prosecution and imprison- ment for simply holding meetings and agree- ing that the courts can protect them from the Governor’s sudden change of politica! tactics. Having himself interviewed by a Globe- Democrat reporter the other day, he took occasion to denounce as nullifiers and crim- inal conspirators all saloon-keevers who be- lieve that they are still under the protection of the law of 1857. He holds that all the questions involved have been settled by the Supreme Court, and he threatens to send hig Attorney-General here to prosecute and ime prison as conspirators all who dare look to the courts for a different adjudication ot such questions. ’ This is a new limitation on the rights of* ~.

PC! EEF aM ge he nae ae “¥ . ‘J ‘ : z ¥ y> * Spe eRe See a Pt ES ae ‘ times on opposite sides of this very question, it surely cannot be a very heinous crime on the part of the citizen to take measures for obtaining further judicial light on the sub- ject. The Governor even pow says: If these nullifiers will examine the case of the State vs. Peter Ambs, who was tudicted in the Criminai Court of St’ Louis for violating tle Sun- day law in July, 1888, they will ascertain what the end will be with them. The Sunday law then is the Sunday law of to-day, The law closing saloons on Sunday is the same to-day as it was in 1853. As Gov. URIT- TENDEN, during two years and a half of his administration, has, like all of his predeces- sors in office, quietly and without a word of protest or objection, acquiesced in the open- ing of the saloons on Sunday, and never has hitherto allowed any one to be punished for it under that law, the saloon-keepers natu- rally listen to the lawyers who tel] them that it is not the Jaw but the Governor only that has turned against them. And when he now declares that officers whodo not press the battle for the closing of the saloons on Sunday should be ‘“‘branded as cowards and traitors to their sworn obligations” he is simply branding himself as a coward and a traitor to his sworn obligations during two years and a half of his administration. lf Gov. CRITTENDEN could get rid of his Lovis XIV. idea that he is the State, his mouth would not fly open so often and so awkwardly. This whole matter is now in the hands of the courts, and he has no further official connection with it until he is-} called on to enforee their decisions or to nullify them with his pardoning power. It is telegraphed again from San Francis- co that the private residence Which Million- aire FLoop is about to erect will be the finest in the United States, VANDERBILT'S double hut not excepted. It is to cost $3,500,000, and the brown stone used in its construction will be shipped from the East. ‘The rich wen cannot resist the human inclination to “splurge.” As a rule they build their pal- aces about the time that the bald-headed man with the scythe is ready to cut them down, but the money expended in such flum- mery is divided up among artisans and workingmen, and the benefit, therefore, to the world is considerable. The ultra rich men, it seems, wil) never learn the lesson that the vulgar display of wealth in pure selfishness never brings satisfactory returns. A rich man’s gorgeous home i» an attractive monument when the Genius of Destruction takes a little tramp through the land. When the Paris mobs used to turn out for parade they nearly always called and paid their re- spects to the Tuileries. Perhaps one of these days the Communistic spirit in Cali- fornia, weary of the burdens imposed by the half-dozen monopolists who own the State, will take a notion to light the torch. In that event there will probably be dancing in bro- gans onthe soft carpets of Mr. FLoop’s palace to red music. - AN enlightened individual named JAMES O. SULLIVAN, writes from this city to the St. Joe Gazette to explain why itis that SAM RANDALL bas no newspaper pounding a drum for him in St. Louis. SULLIVAN says that the Republican is mad because RANDALL defeated BILL MoRRISON for the Speakership on one occasion. After this he makes the startling statement that ‘all the editors and owners of the Post-Dis- PATCH are Republicans,” and nothing better is to be expected of them than that they should wickedly conspire to defeat a pa- triotic Protectionist such as RaANDALI. It is presumed that SULLIVAN knows a Demo- crat when he sees him. We have editors and proprietors in the Posrt- DISPATCH office who have been p reaching for the Democratic party for years. We} have one individual in our’ mind’s eye, who answers to both descriptions, and who is on exhibition at the Post-DisParcu office daily between the hours of 8 a. m. and 3 p. m.,who never voted anything but an orthodox Demo- cratic ticket in his life, and who wil! wager that he has better Democratic ancestry than any man bearing the name of SULLIVAN in St. Louis. This by way of an anchovy, so to speak, Iris the most natural thing in the world that the flatulent FLApD should turn up his scientific nose and sneer at the report of the Committee from the House of Delegates which recently investigated the water short- age. The FLADs and other tax-eaters are interested in spreading the belief that only three or four of Giod’s chosen creatures are able to understand the science of pumping water with a steamengine. They are at- tempting to establish a close corporation of humbuggers after the manner of the priests of Isis, As an evidence to FLap’s mind that the committee was entirely unfit for the work set before it, he points to the fact that several members of the same didn’t know the way to the pumping works until it was pointed out tothem. Xrgo, how could such a committee carry on an investigation? It will probably amuse FLAp to be told that there are at least five thousand gentlemen in this city, who cannot locate the Water-works without a map, but who are capable of lis- tening to testimony and making deductions in matters concerning steam engines and pumps and water pipes and meters~and vet this is a fact capable of the highest proof. eee Our Water-works engines were built with the understanding that they wouid lift so much water at each revolution. The revolu- tions of the fly-wheels are counted each day, and atthe end of the week the great scian- tists in the Water Board tell us that so many millions of galions of water have been tossed into the reservoirs and mains. Then we are accused of wasting water. Asa matter of fact, the water never goes into the pipes that is charged to. the city. Mr. Peer. an engi- neer employed for several years in the pump- ing works, tells of defective valves, uncared- he * & fd _ . > > % 6 q and " or te arpwy 2 mm. ME Php .

Of course the scientists of the Board, who are drawing big salaries, denounce PEEL asa pase hind anda losel churl. It will-be diffi- cult to make the public believe that our Water-works have not been grossly misman- aged. The city doesn’t get what it pays for, and is abused every day by FLap and Wuit- MAN for wasting what it has never had. JupGr Buack, “Old Jere” ashe was af- fectionately called by millions who never saw him, has been for forty years one of the unique and most stalwart figures in our pub- lic life, and by his death the legal profession loses one of its greatest lights, ‘and Jeffer- sonian Democracy one of its most Tuminous and honored advocates. Judge BLack has left behind him essays and arguments that will be quoted centuries hence and be élassed with the best productions of the kind In our language. There was a rich mingling of wit, learning and controversial brillianey in all that he wrote or said, yet somehow it seemed to spring from the very roots of historic truth, legal philosophy and common sense. Withal he was a generous, patriotic and courageously honest man, with a character as amiable in private life as his efforts in public were brilliant. ~ a& THE Democrats in Cincinnati nominated a hoodlum ticket on Saturday last, made up wholly of people pledged to make war on Senator PENDLETON. As the Republicans have the best ticket, and the Democrats who believe in Senator PENDLETON are dis- gusted, it is tolerable easy to predict the result. Mr. BookwaALTerR, the able Jeffersonian who draws checks, took an act- ive part in the bull-dog chase after PEN- DLETON. He his had visions of the Senate, it seems, of a large § answering to his name, sitting up as the peer of EDMUNDS. The spectacle of the Democratic sans culottes coming up out of the sewers and disembow- elling PENDLETON for pay, is certainly any- thing but amusing to Judge HoapLy, who has expectations, THE late Judge JEREMIAH BLACK Was & man of strong religious beliefs. Hecame of fervent, sturdy North of Ireland stock, and his faith was as deep-rooted as the green hills of Pennsylvania amid which he was born. In a recent controversy with Bos INGERSOLL he gavethe Paladin of Infig¢!- ity the most telling blows that he ever re- ceived at the hands of a defender of Chris- tianity. Just before he died yesterday morning he said to his wife by his bedside: “How canI fear to cross the dark river when my father waits for me onthe other shore?” and then he breathed the following earnest prayer: O, Thou beloved and most merciful Heavenly Father from whom I had my being, and in whom I have ever trusted, if it be Thy will grant that my suffering end and that I speedily be called home to Thee, and, Oh, my God, bless and com- fort thee, my Mary. ae THe Jefferson City Tribune, having as- serted thag Senator COCKRELL is opposed to Prohibition, the Columbia Statesman denies that the Zribune has any authority for such statement. This difference of opinion be- tween two Democratic editors gives the Sen- ator a fine opportunity to tell his constituents what his opinion is on the Prohibition ques- tion. He has already declared for absolute prohibition on Sunday, but his silence in re- gard to the other six days in the week seems to cause talk suggestive of conflicting private assurances to both sides, which is unseemly. WE are frequently told that 9 State law which is good enough to be enforced in War- rensburg is good enough to be enforced at the point of the bayonet in St. Louis. The Sedalia Democrat gives this picture of the enforcement of Prohibition in the home of Gov. CRITTENDEN: Revelers in the festive bug-juice are having a happy time at Warrensburg, the home of: Rey. John A. Brooks. Five cases of drunkenness and disorderly conduct came under police notice in that town yesterday, despite the fact that for. three years there have been no licensed galoons within the corporate limits. Mr. CHAPHE, the Water-works engineer, who figured somewhat in the recent investi- gation made by a committee of the House of Delegates, appointed to inquire into the short water supply, resents the testimony adduced relative to himself by flinging a suit for libel atthe Post-Disrparocn. We insist now that the House of Deiegates shall specially appoint a committee to investigate the official and ynofficial conduct of this dis- tinguished citizen. LLL LL LEI ITI Tue Springfield Leader, one of ex-Gov. PHELPS’ home organs, says it is hardly nec- essary for him toanswer the questions ad- dressed to the candidates by the Prohibition Committee, and it adds: The letter of Gen, Marmaduke covers the en- tire ground and is fully endorsed by Gov, Phelps. A Yew remarks from Gov. PHKirs hiin- self, or over his signature, would be far more satisfactory. (Ra A RRR rr eee FOLITICAL DRIFT. GEN.

As usual, she grabbed him by the hair. A NEBRASKA woman of 38 years has 21 children. The conversation between this lady ana her land- lord must be highly interesting.

But Mme. Bernhardt de- clares that she will be obliged to stay in Paris this year. THE women of Boston seem to be losing what little interest they at first took in exercising the nestimable “right” of voting. Only forty of them have thus far this year come forward to be as- sessed for a poll-tax. THE Boston Globe denies with some warmth the intimation that Sarah Bernhardt wears pasted in the crown of her Sunday bonnet this old quotation from Marguerite de Valois: “We shali all be perfectly virtuous when there is no longer any flesh on our bones.” MME. “Ovurpa” wishes the Herald to contradict the rumor, to which the American press has re- cently given a wide circulation, that her heaith {s Gelicate ; and she characterizes as absurd another rumor to the effect that she entertains one shadow of prejudice against America or Ameri- cans.

Laren, in your issue ofa few days ago, in regard to the disposition of the money subscribe by sympathetic parties for a monument in st.

I, with many otbers. o), the impulse of the moment subseribed to the tung buton calm reflection I fail to discover gjy good reason why he should be entitled to such distine tion at the hands of our citizens, and now indorse the views of Col, McLaren that the money in his bands be equiliy divided between jie Catholic and Protestant Orphan Asyluns of oy, city, where I know it is needed and wi\) pe appreciated. The sum subseribed by our sympatietic citizens is too insignificant to’amount to anything as “ testimonial, and Lam fully conviuceg that if di : posed of as suggested, it will meet with tie > proval of all subseribers. I fail to see the logt of your editorial, that “the money mys; be funded or the monument erecied.”’ Certainly the donors have a legal and moral right in its disposi tion, and I believe that if Major Laflin will cali a meeting through the press of subseri views and many others will be indorsed.

To the Editor of the Post-Disuatch: In Wednesday's paper there was a kick for justice, claiming that the sale stables on North Broadway do business on Sundivs, Such is not the case. Thestables on Broadway, in fact, no first-class sale stables in St. Louis, do no business on Sunday. They did not before the new law took effect. But the stables are open on Sunday, so that stock can be taken care of, as stock requires the same attention Sunday as they do on week. days, but no stock is offered for sale. Yours, C.

Arthur isa Stalwart; he is one of those who saved the Union and he wants to save itagain. They are unlike socially. Arthur puts on a great deal of style: Vest has a great man’s indifference for style. They are unlike men- tally. Arthur has no convictions; Vest is a man of burning convictions. They are totally unlike. And yet, of all menin the country, Arthur has chosen Vest as his chum on atrip where friend- ship is exposed to trying tests. He has passed by most grave and reverend seignors, dignified Senators, learned divines, emineut orators, states- men, professors, millionaires, bank presidents, dudes and all; all the wealth and polish and statesmanship and learning and piety of all the country were his to choose from, The best man would have esteemed it an honorto be invited, Yet the President passed hy them all; he pre- ferred to have Missouri’s little George Vest. — The Issues of 1884.

The Wemocracy would be false to its prinetples and its policy if it should neglect to pass bills through the Democratic House of Representa- tives to repeal allland grants in wnich a forfeit- ure has occurred, to compel the full payment of all sums due from railroad corporations to the Government, and to prevent by all constitutional means the further abuses and encroachments of | corporations and the growth of monopolies. These are living issues. They are Democratic issues, brought into greater prominence than ever by the disclosure of the means by which the Na- tional Administration nowin power was forced upon the country.

The First Cards on Record—Those Used by the Hindeos and Chinese— French and Spanish Playing Tablets—A Pope’s Game of Bluff—The Low Origin of Whist. A Post-Dispatcu -reporter who took such a Myvely interest in a game of cards Saturday after- noon that he lost his week’s salary on three queens and a pair ef kings, devoted his Sabbath to learning something more about the deceptive pasteboards, anc without attempting to go’ back to the days of Caius Caleguia or the Emperor Claudius, here presents the reader with a few novel facts concerning the history of playing cards. They are first mentioned in European history in the annals of Proyence of the year 1361; but a MS, discovered a quarter of a century azo, proves that they were Kuown tweniy years before. An edict probibiting their use was issued by John J, ot Castile, in 1387. In 1404 the Eagiish pariiament forbade their importation, and It is probable they were Introduced vot. ariier than 1400, as Chaucer makes Ho mention of them. THE PACK consisted at Various tines of thirty-six cards, forty-cight among the Ge mins, who omitted the ace, and the Spaniaids, who had no ten spots; aud tinally tifty-we. Court-eards were originally Kuown as cout-cards, from the fuet that the figures were dressed or coated, in coutradistinction to the other devices, which were flowers or abimals. —Llo Ahe early Italian or Spanish cards the modern Spade was the spade. of sword, allegorically rep- resenting the novility; cappe-caps or chalices, represeuiing the clergy: dsnari-money, repre- senting tlie. citizens, and bastoni-clubs or sticks, ine peasantry, Vie Frevch substituted the pique or lance-head of the Knights for the spade; cciur, hearts, weré used to represent the clergy; tie clover trefoll, to represent the husbandmau, aud the carreau, a diamond-shaped arrow-head, asthe symbol of the com iuen seldiery. In mou- ern cards the siguificaice of Ue symbols has veen lost sight of, aud tie names aud suits have been cunningly mixed up so thatthe sword has been turned ito a space; the elerical chalice Las been turned into a hear); the trefle. or clover leaf is the bastoni of the Spaniard and our ciub,whiie the ar- row-head is the-diainoud. THE FRENCH first introduced a qimen among the cont-cards. The * Books of the Four Kings” is What Rabelais styled the pastebourds in inentioning them among the amusements al Garuguptua. They were also called quartes, in reference to :our suits, and from this itis supposed came the Eugiish word ecards, They were first brought to America by the Span- fish discoverers, and. there is an old legend that Columbus kept hiniself awake trough Lhe night before he landed von American soil by playing a ecard gime calied primero, Herara relates tat when Montezuma was made prisoner by Cortez in 1519 he took great pleasure in seeing the Spanish soldiers play at cards, The Hindoos have circular playing-caras, with eight or ten suits; there is no queen, the two court cards beiug a king and his prime-ininister. The material of which the cards are made Is can- vas stiffly varnished, aud the marks and hgures are not stencilied, but puton by hand. Each suit bas wu different coior, the exght betug fawh, black. brown, Wwhiie, green, blue, red and yellow. The pack is composed of six ecards, and the commou cards are huimbered from oue to ten, as with us. Four suits are named superior and four inferior, ana in the superior the ten is uext in Value to the wuzeer, or primé-miuis:er, whiie in the inferior the ace is next fullowed by the deuce, ete. THE CHINESE. who are revkless cumbicrs,bave also several kinds of cards. In their encyclopedia, called Ching-tsze- een-tsze-pue, dotted cards, were invented in 1120 A. D. The general name for cards in China is che-pae, or paper tickets, aid the kind most commonly used are called Tseeu-wan-cthe-pae, or “a thousand times ten thousand cards.””’ Each card or ticket is about two inches long anda half-inch wide; the pack has thirty cards—Lliree suits of nine eacii, and three independent cards which are superior to the rest. Tue three suits are called: (1) “The ume myriads of strings of beads;’ (2) “Nive units of cakes,” (3) “Nine uvits of ¢hains.” They have several wther varieties. among them the “huua- red boys’ cards,” the game of “horses chariots and gus.’’ and still another devised on the principle of some of our histerical cards, and called “a tliousand times ten thousand men’s names cards.”’ Gambling beeame the rage in Europe shortly after the lutroduction of cards. At the beginning of the Fifteenth century this passion was 80 preva- lent in France that persons addicted to it endeav- ored to restrain and guard themselves by volun- tary bonds, résembiing modern temperance, wiih the nee ear that there was a penalty for break- ing the p edge. he vice spread rapidly over Eu- rope in this century. Even the clergy did not escape it, as is sfiown by the pretty little game of BLUFF PLAYED BY POPE LEO X, who seems to have “uuderstood himself” very well. His Holiness was playing a game somewhat similar to Western bluff and found himself in possession of a hand which could not be beaten except in the pematngroney of his having to play last It woula be well here if the historian hada told who dealt the cards for this play, for the record tells us that Leo’s opponent aiso held a very good band. and put up a heavy é. p “Give me a point and I will see you,” cried the ope, His opponent, thinking him beaten, doubled the stakes aud awarded him the desired advantage of the point, when Leo “called nim” and gently scooped in the pile. Not ali the clergy, however, were card players. Many of them traveled around the country de- nouncing the practice and doing so with gooa effect in many cases. SI. Ber- nardin, of Vienna, preached with — such power of the Boulognese in 1423 that his hearers made a bonfire in the public place and threw their cards into it. One,a card-maker, alarmed at the saint's denunciations not only of gamesters but also ofali who supplied them with cards and dice, complained that if he was deprivea of his BUSINESS OF PAINTING CARDS his family and limself would become destitute; whereupon Bernardin said: “If you do not know what to paint, paint this figure and you will never have cause to regret having done so.” With these words he took a tablet and drew on it a figure of a radiant sun with the name of Jesus indicated in the center by tne monegram I. H. 8, The card- painter followed the saifit’s advice, and so numer- ous were the purchasers of this production of re- formed art that he soon became rich, In 1462 John Capistran, a disciple of St. Ber- nardin, preached for three bours at Nuremberg, the headquarters then of the card manufacture, — luxury and gaming. So great was the ex- tement of the populace that, at the close of the sermon, there was brought into the market place and burned 76 Bop eye sledges, 3,640 backgam- mon beards, 40.000 dice aud innumerable cards. In 1509 Thomas Murer, a Franciscan, taking advantage ot the universal love of cards, pub- lished an exposition of jogic in the shape of a pack ef cards. These logic cards had such suc- cess that in 1618 he published an introduction to the civil law in the same torm. Lt is impossible at this time to explain either of these treatises, In 1651 Baptist Pendieton published : “SCIENTALL CARDS,” in which he aimed to convey a thorough know!l- osee of grammar by the use of a pack of cards ~ akey to the puzzie, These were followed at tervals by geogruphical and heraldic cards, and fens the “scientail card” system seems to ave acquired universal favor, for in 1679 there were published cards displaying the iniquities of all Popish plots against the security of En- gland: historical, rhetorical and satirical cards ip great variety; and finally. to cap the climax, in 1692 was iuvented and published the game of carving at table accurately and easily taught tn a k of filty-two neatly executed pasteboaras. n these cards, the suit of hearts is occupied by flesh; that of diamonds by fowl: clubs by fish, and spades by baked meats. The king of preaides over a sirloin of beef; the King of dia- monds over a tg he of clubs over a pickled herring, and the king of spades over a venison pastry.

From the Philadelphia Press. A strange romance of low life—one that ‘would have delighted the heart of Dickens - having woven in its plot the absorbing ele- ments of love, suicide, murder, desertion and the final triumph of the good over the bad, has just come to lightin this city. The persons concered tiave already acquired no- toriety in one shape or another, through the medium of the public prints. Last Saturday there came to Philadelphia from Denver, Col., Mrs. Cody, a sister of Secretary of the Interior Teller, a venerable lady with white hair. Mrs. Cody’s mission was to find the wife of acertain John. Scanion, the son of David Scanlon, who last year in Den- ver, leaving a property valued at $25,000, The only clew which Ahe lady possessed as to their identity was/that Scanlon had mur- dered his wother andaiterward killed hiin- self while awaiting trial. oSearch was made through the records of the court without re- vealinu the name of Scanlon. Mrs. Cody went to the County Jail, where she learned thataman named Davidson had murdered his mother and afterward, in June, 1882, killed himself while awaiting his triai. was none other than Scanion. David Scanion was vorn in this country, and thirty-six years ago Went to County Donegal, Lreland, where be married a pretty lass with blooming cheeks. ‘The happy couple sailed for this counuy .during the honeymoon. Reaching New York, they stopped at a cheap boarding house. * RY a ST, ate tie as oe Me) a MT Foy, > 4 a seal ae | Je we) . re ee ee » - — pete See? eo as FETS i ere | pe gigs St uae ope ee ay i Bey evs Roe. ap eae Ads pi % tas ( See oe Pe ae Sones ae Mae hae FP sa Oa ee eee ee - : ' * T ON Geena ses eee | ee ae he J a. : ihasteiag PE SG er — i _— . —— . “: —— . . - - SA RMS oe " palin a ’ ~ ; — ~~ Rares _— Pe! — ~— ~— wr _- _—— pene = ERROR — 9 bh cam cae oer i - H ‘ > —_ _ ~ _ ee te mm , TUATIONS WANTED-FEMACE.

ADVICE TO CONSUMPTIVES. On the anpearance of the first symptoms, as general debility, loss of appetiie, patior, ebilly sensations, tollowed by night-sweats and cough, prompt measures of relief should be taken.

How He Contributes to the Enjoyment of a Famiiy Excursion, From the Detroit Free Press. He boarded the St. Clair River boat yester- day morning with his wife and five children, owe the family were not yet seated when he egan: “Now, Sarah, I'll bet $50 you forgot to hook that woodshed dvor!”’ *“Merey on me, but so I did!” she gasped. “Justas 1 expeeted—just exactly; we'll get home to find the house eleaued out or in ashes, Never mind, though, it would serve us just right!’ ‘Lhe boat had not vet started when one of the boys, who insisted on some gymnastics with a chair, fellto the deck and set up a great squall. “troke both arms or I’m a sinner!” shout- ed the father. “I told you he’d do itif we 17 hin come along,and now he’s a cripple for lie. It was, however, discovered that the young- ster had sustained nothing more serious than a Skinned nose, and peace was restored and continued until the wife suddenly discov- ered that she had lost her watch. “Of course—of course!’’ growled the hus- band. “There goes $125 of my hard earn- ings! I knew you'd have it stolen before you had gone a rod!” “But perbaps | left it on the burean.”’ “Well, it will be lugged off before night, just the same.

Yor 'll have business on your hands for the next six weeks!” The next half hour passed peacefully enough. Then somebody observed that a man whose gaze was fixed on the water pro- baviy contemplated suicide. “T expect nothing else,”’ exclaimed the dis- consolate husband, “out maybe he will listen to reason.” Going over to the stranger, he laid a hand op his shoulder and brusquely inquired: “Sir! do you mean to jump into the lake?” dey sir!’ was the reply as the man look- ed up. “Just so—exactly—I suspected as much. You’ll utter a yell as you gu over and kick up all the bobbery you can, I presume.” “Tok en: “Ani my wife will faint away and every young ‘un how! like an injun!

When a man with the contribution bux ap- proached, the squatter said : “What's up?’ “Weare taking up a collection for the heathen, and as you seemed to be so much interested in the sermon, I didn’t know but you would like to give a few dimes.” “‘What’s the matter with the heathen?” “Why, he doesn’t know anything about the Gospel, and we want to raise money cacagh to send it to him,” “Wall, [tell yer.

Ten cents, — & PMA Oe oe RIVAL WONDERLANDS, A Go-As-You-Please Contest in the Sen- sation Lire. From the New York Telegram. This has been an unusually lively summer. Except in Wall street. Nature has been active all over the earth, and every other day gives the world and his wife a shaking up. The activity also of the average bank cash- ier or trusted book-keeper has been phenom- enal. ‘ Indeed, they are on the move all the time, with the money intrusted to them. Strikes, conspiracies, pestilence and shi wrecks have kept the minds of the people in & Constant state of commotion, and there were never befvure so many conveutiouns. But nothing has been so remarkable or caused such excitement as the go-as-you- please contest between rival wonderlands in the sensation line. Long Island has long held the monopoly of blood-curdiing sensations, but that land of wonders has been distanced this summer by other conmunities with a more extended rane of imagination. ‘lhe usual monster turtle or twelve foot shark of the Long Isiaad fishermea has not taken a back seat.

There has been a choice assortment of wild children of the woods this suuwer, with an oecasivoval hermit, and the display of goods in the treaks of lightaing departineut as been exceedingly fine. But the discovery of Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat has come like a thunder-clap among the contestaats for sensation oa this side of the Atianiic. There are two significant facts connected With this discovery. An Ainerican is said to have bought the ark, and ‘om Ochiliree is at present across the water. If he should prove to be the lucky discover- er and purchaser, we may expect to hear of his taking out of the ancient craltt some ex- traordivary things, suchasafew Southern Bourbons auda colony of Mississippi gv- phers.

From the Lendon News, Dispatches on the state of the slave trade and slavery in Morocco have been laid be- fore parliament. Writing to SirJ. Drum- mond Hav on the 24 of July, Lord Gran- ville says: * “The reports on slavery in Moroeceo forwarded by you with vour dis- patches of the lst of May and of the 16th of June show that this evil exists in a form and toan extent which it is painful to learn. Though the reports differ as to the treat- ment which slaves receive at the hands of their masters, they show that men, Women and children are hawked about through the streets of many of the towns and sold by auction; that they may be resold on the death or Lankrupicy of their owners; that there is no security against the separation of wives from husbands or of children from par- ents; that crueitv is not infrequent, and that the only remedy for this for which an ill-used slave can hope, who can noi obtain his freedom, isa chauge of master. Nv se- eurity is provided for the chastity of women nor for tneir rescue from degradation. Many instances, perhaps the majority of cases, might be appealed to in which slaves are kindly treated and _ well cared for, but the fact cannot be gainsaid that the system of slavery exists in the empire, with some of its most revoltinz features. Her inajesty’s governinent have noground for in- terterence founded on conventions, nor d» they wish to make protests in individual cases; but they would, in the interest of hu- manity, make an earnest apveal to the Em- peror, and ask him to consider whetier the time has not come when he would be ready to place himself on a level with other civil- ized rulers by taking steps to abolish slavery in his dowinions. They are aware of the dificulties which.the government of the Em- peror may meet in dealing with a long-estab- lished custom, but that difficnlty has been found not to be insuperable by other Mo- hbainmedan sovereigns. His majesty might be assured that any step taken by him in this direction would be welcowed not only In this country, but in the civilized world, whereas the position of bis state, as the only territory bordering ou the Mediterranean in which no effort is made to combat this evil; must become daily more intolerable in the eyes of all nations, whatever may be their religious creeu. have to instruct you to make a strong representation to the Moorish government in this sense, aud to lose nv op- portunity of renewing your effort whenever a favorable opportunity may offer.

He states that the rapid increase in the number of uses to which cinchona bark is put, not only for the manufacture of quinine and as an ingredient in the substi- tute for hops, but also for various commer- cial purposes, has led President Barrios to try this experiment. It may be remembered that the cinchona tree was introduced into India in 1879 by Mr. Clements Markham, C. , at the instance of the British Govern- ment, and the culture was so profitable that not only has the originai investment of £150,- been paid, but the trees have been valued at £1,000,000, The cinchona tree requires a_tropical climate and a plentiful rainfall. While it would nut grow in the United States, it could be cultivated with great advantage in Mexi co, though it requires careful supervision. It is hoped at least a portion of the vast amount of soil in Central America not now under cultivation may be utilized in this way. Aplanter who has devoted much at- tention to both the cinchona and the coffee tree considers that both would grow well on the volcanic soil of Mexico ata certain alti- tude, ‘I'he latest system for getting the cinchona bark to the best advantage is by means of asucker; when it has developed strength, cutting down the parent stem so as to strip it of the bark, the full nourishment is directed into the sucker, which iu due time is sacrificed to another sucker. Guatewala and Mexico are both expected shortiy tw en- gage in cinchona culture to a large extent. CALIFORNIA Sherries and Ports; best in the world for table use. $1 50 per galion oniy.

I didn’t say anytuing, but the sight of them took the life out of me so that I dropped my brush. and I could hear it bounding along from rock to rock until finally it struck bottom. It seemed to ne ten min- utes from the time that brush left my hand until it struck the ground. Every time it bounced irom one rock to another I seemed to say to myself: ‘You’ll strike there and there and there.’ They grinned at me, with their heads stuck over the precipice, and then oné of them swung out his right arm and began making passes at the taut rope with a butcher knife in his hand. I watched that Knife flying around uv there with a sharp edge always turned toward the rope, until it wade me sick, and | looked duwn for relief. Beiow me there was nothing but a little mes- quit bush growing out of the precipice about half way duwn, and under that bou ders. ‘Suddenly I thought of something, and whipping my whisky flask out of my breast- pocket I held itup toward them. ‘hey stop- pped grinning, the knife stopped wheeling arvund and | saw in a minute that thev were two thirsty Indians and that I had a chance yet. But, like a blamed fool, I was too sure and did not take enough care of the bottle, and toe first thing I knew it slipped from my hand and sinashed to flinders on the rocks below. The Indians gave one how! and then zip went the knife across the rope and [ fol- lowed the whiskey bottle. Did I get killed? Well, not hardly. You remember that mez- quit bush? Well the end of the rope man- aged tu get wrapped around that bush in tne fail, aud it brought me up so suddenly that the shock broke out four of my frout teeth.” “But you were stilla pics Bas feet above the ground and your rope only fiity feet long.” ‘To be sure; but everything was piain sail- ing now.

Reasons Why the Bodies of Yellow Fe ver Victims Should be Burned, From the St. James Gazette. One of the most horrible discoveries of mod- ern science is surely that of Dr. Domingo Freire of Rio de Janeiro. ‘That city has been seriously afflicted with yellow fever, and Dr. Freire, in his inquiries into the causes of the epidemic, came upon the dread- ful fact that the soil of the cemeteries in which the victims of the outbreak were buried was positively alive with microbian organisms exactly identical with those found in the vomitings, blood, ete., of those who bad died in the hospitai of yellow fever. From a foot under ground he gathered a sam- ple of the earth overlying the remains of a yerson Who had been buried about a year ‘fore, and though it showed nothing re- markable in appearance or sinell, it was found under the microscope to be thickly charged with these abowinabie disease gerins. Many of the organisms Were inaking spouta- neous movements, In fact, therefore. the Cemeteries are sO many nurseries of yellow fever; for every year the rain washes the soil and the fever seed with which it is so ciosely sown into the water courses and distributes them over the towno and neigh- borhood, Says the Doctor: “If each corpse is the bearer of millions of willions of organisms that are specifics of ill, imagine what a cemetery must be in which new foci are forming around each body. In the silence of deatu these worlds of organisim-.,invisible to the unassisted eye, are laburing incessant- iy and unperceived to fil! more graves with more bodies destined for their food and for the fatal perpetuation of their species.” How terribly fatal these organisms are, in- deed, way be understood from the fact that the blood of a yellow fever patient injected intoarabbit killed the animalin an bour: that the rabbit’s bloed injected iuto a guinea pig killed it, and that the guinea pig’s bivod foteetbal into anotber rabbit kilied it also, so that. the chain of destruction way apparently be endless, for each victim, on post-mortem examination, was found to have all its biood swarming with malignant gerios. Surely the cremation of ali yellow fever corvses be- comes, in the light of Dr. Freire’s discovery, a pubiic necessity. The Way a Texas Statesman Sat. From the Gaiveston News. Ex-Governor Hubbard was, perhaps. the greatest curiosity on tue ground at McKin- ney. The whole multitude wanted to see him, and some capitai stories of his personal characteristics were told. It is a whole cir- cus to see Hubbard sit down.

Stonebraker, cashier of the First National Bank, were entered last week, and, at Mr. Ba- noise’s, aconsiderable amount of booty in the shape of watches and jewelry was secured.

On Saturday a movement was started py the sufferers from the recent floods in the Missouri and Mississippi bottoms towards prevent- ing any such disaster in future by a system of =JIleveeing. It is esti- mated that fully 30,000 acres of land were sub- merged at the lastoverfiow, and that the loss ag- gregated from $400,000 to $600,000 in crops and stock. To prevent these disastrous results ip future will require a small levee about four miles aud a half lopy, which can be constructed at a cost not exceeding $10,000. A meeting was held of interested citizens, and committees were ap- pointed to take the proper preliminary steps.

The Alleged Whitening Ring in the School Board Causes Trouble. Under the head “Is there a ring?” the Post- DISPATCH published last Thursday an interview with Mr. Quinn, a whitener on Chestnut street, in which that gentieman stated that it was impos- sible for him to get a contract for whitening any of the schools from the Building Committee of the School Board. He said that when the,contracts were being let he went to the architect of the Schoo! Board, Mr. Wilhelmj, and asked to be per- mitted to bid. Mr. Wilhelmj said he couid not receive a bid from him unless he came recom- mended by the member of the School Board im nis district. Mr. Quinn said he then went to John W. O’Connell, the member from his district, for a recommenaation, and that Mr. ©’Connell refused to give him one, saying that he was too late, that four contractors had already been selected to do the work. Mr. Quinn again went to the architect, argued the matter with him to no effect, then returned to Mr, O’Connell, askea him why such a rule should be adopted, and was toid that it didn’t make auy difference, the rule had been adopted and that was an end toit. This morning a complaint similar to Quinn’s was made to a _ reporter for this Mr. Koight, of the firm & Swift, whiteners, at 811 Chestnut street, who said: ‘We wanted to obtain some work from the building Committee and after inquiry heard that we must first obtain recommendations from two members of the Board, We therefore procured one from Mr. Scudder and one from Mr. Goerlich, but when we presented these even we were not allowed to bid, and were scratched off the list. Now, this was not done because we cannot do the work, for we are both ola and experienced whiten- ers, and as good, 1 may say, in our business as any men in the city. What I would like to know is why we were scratched. Another thing { wou!d like to knowis why one man is allowed to bid under two names andin two districts, when the understanding was thatone man only was allowed to bid 1n one district.” At the last meeting of the School Board, when the report of the Building Committee was reached, Mr. M. Foerstel, Chairman of the Auditing Com- mittee, recommended that the report be adopted, with the exception of that part of it awarding the contract to whiten the Lyon School to Thomas Kirkwood for $357, when MR. MANISTRE’S bid of $150 had been rejected. A lively debate ensued. Mr. O’Connell explaining that the Building Committee had g¢oncluded to invite only a few contractors to do the work in order that the work would be done well. Dr. Hickman said that four rooms had been whitened at a cost of $55, wheu anybody would object to paying $12 for it. Mr. Bosley upheld the action of the Building Commit- tee, while Dr. Green, Dr. Atkinson, Dr. Hickman and Mr. Foerstel condemned it. Mr. O’Connell said that the work had all been done, and wheth- er the committee had made a mistake or not the board was responsible for the amount. The re- port was adopted, with the exception of the awards of the Gravois, Grandview, No.7 bom Benton Station, Humboldt, Clinton branch, jlin- ton, Elliot, No. 12 and No. 4 schools. Mr. Foerstel, when told of the complaint made by Messrs Knight & Swift, said this morning that their complaint wasa just one; that what they bad saia was true. “There is no deubt,” said he, | “that thereis a great deal of crookednessin tne awarding of those whitening contracts, and I in- tend, next Tuesday evening when the board meets, to move for a committee of investigation as soon as the building committee reporis. I Want a committee of seven appointed to investi- gate this matter, with power to call withesses aud to be assisted by a stenographer and a notary. OF COURSE THERE IS A RING, else why should aman get $350 for a $150 job. There were three prices charged for whitening half a dozen schools that I know of. The idea is just this: The Building Committee allege that they want good work done, and in order to pre- vent it from falling into poor hands they tell the architect not to accept a bid froma man who is not recommended by one of the committee. Of course the members of the committee have power in this way to recommend who they please, The architect understands who tbe parties recoim- meuded are. One of the parties bids high and the other a little lower, both bids being very high ones. The lowest is taken and the contract awarded. The committee QO. K.’s the contract; the architect does the same, aud the bili is pre- sented to me. I have nothing to do but O. K. it also. Lreported to the School Board thag the charges were excessive, and now I will try and have the matter investigated. Iam sorry the fact is about to become Mey because I wanted to prevent thei from fixing things up to biind those who investigate, There’s one thing about it, though. If they goto scale down their prices by next week they will have shown that their prices really were excessive. I think we've got them either way.” Mr. Foerstel said that it Was a sim- ilar job to the carpenter arrangement, SUMMER EXODUS. Mr. B. O’Rielley and Mr. Hastings have gone to Grand Haven. H. A.
