How an Old Confidence Song was Set to New Music—A Joliy Flow of European Reminis« cence—The Sharpers’ Shrewd Capture by the Police. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw YoRK, August 21.—Mr. William Spraker, the vice-president of the Canajoharie National Bank, who is stopping with his wife and daughter at the Continental Hotel, was yesterday victim- ized by the bunko sharpers of Coney Island to | the extent of $100 in cagh and a thirty days’ note on the First National Bank of Albany for $800. Mr. Spraker came from Albany a few days ago and put up at the Continenta} Hotel. In his con- versations with the clerk he talked freely of his connections with the well-known Spraker family, among gee in age rag New York, one aft- er whom rakervillo, in ontgomer unt is named, He had s " A LARGE 8UM OF MONEY which he deposited in the hotel safe and drew up- on from time totime. Yesterday morning Mr. Spraker rose early and inquired of the clerk when the Coney Island boats left. A quiet young man whe stood at the desk atthe time, appeared en- tirely unconscious of Mr. Spraker’s presence. The clerk recommended the Iron steamboats and Mr. Spraker, accompanied by his wife and daughter, started tu catch the 10 o’clock boat. Previous to his departure he drew the balance of his money, which he placed in an old-fashioned wallet in the presence of the stranger. Whuile the boat was coe the Robbin’s Reef’ Light-house Mrs. praker asked her husband what was the name and object of the structure. Mr. Spraker was unable to give the information, but at this stage a well dressed young man _ volunteered to point out the various objects of interest in the harbor. When his offer was accepted he apparently dis- covered that he WAS ACQUAINTED with the family. “Why, is that you, Mr. Spraker?” he said cor- dially. “I am sorry I did not recognize you before. I was thinking all the while where to place you. Surely you must know my uncle, Mr. Erastus Corning Albany.’’ The old confidence game was played in the usual fashion, and during the rest of the trip the old gentleman talked freely of his acquaintance with the famous banker of > a inner was pro- posed at the Iron Pier, and Mr. Spraker willingly assented. During the meal the obliging stranger talked of his recent trip to Europe, and EXPLAINED THE MYSTERIES of the continent. The flow of European reminis- cences was finally interrupted by a man who ap- proached and wildly demanded from Mr. Corning $900 which he claimed was owing to him. Mr. Corning Was nonplussed and started to produce the necessary fynds to liquidate the debt, but on careful examination he found thathe had only $25, and a note purporting to have been drawn by a promi- nent resident of Albany. The creditor was ob- durate and insisted on payment of the claim. He was offered the note, but it was refused. At last “Corning” appealed to Mr. Spraker, saying that he was a perfect stranger tn New York, and as he had just returned from Europe with his wife and family, Was unable to discount the note. He of- fered the note to Mr. Spraker, who readily ac- cepted and handed over $100 in cash and his check for $800 on the bank of which heis Vice- —* | eermceratic Its It blushes, it Secieaee. that he accepted the crown a A Democratic vengeance moved. e it was love for her that made him Emperor; that for the people alone ledlammend him. other desire than to and lead her out enfranchised subjects an absolute and everlastin what itis c en themselves into ; mY pie and the im uponshe “portal lip” business, biy mixed.

FOUND FLOATING. The Body of Major W. T. Howell Drifting in Baltimore Harber. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. BALTIMORE, August 21.—The body of Major W. T. Howell, an ex-officer of the United States army, was found floating in the harbor here im front of acoai pier, near Fort McHenry to-day. As no one witnessed the drowning it is not known whether it was accidental or a suicide, though a coroner’s jury ordered a verdict of accidental drowning. aj. Howell was an engineer by pro- fession and during the war was in the Quarter- master’s Department with the rank of Major on Gen. Ingalls’ staff. He had been in very poor cir- cumstances of late. He came here some time since from Washington and obtained employment aS @ Canvasser, but met with no success. Written in an old book found in his clothes was the iol- lowing, which seems TO TELL THE HISTORY of his troubles: “I have a claim on the United States Treasury for allowances on my army service, amouni- ing to between $400 and $500. When last heard from it was before the Second Comptroller for his action. My uncalled for re- tirement fromthe army,for which lam partly indebted to my late wife,from whom Iam di- vorced her outrageous conduct, with that of her sister, whom I permitted, with her children, to live with us; her open and decided preference for other men, the manner in which she deceived me, and her notorious reputation in army circles made the latter PART OF MY LIFE almost unbearable, particularily when she was on one of her drunken tantrums.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, August 21.—With everything in his favor except the weather and the cast, Oscar Wilde introduced his play of “Vera, the Nihilist,’’ last night at the Union Square Theater. A pro- fessional and critical audience was present and favorably disposed. The play itself opened well but wordily and fell off in the last act. It dealt with an ideal or imaginative Russian, whose heroine IS A NIHILIST, whose Czar is a craven tyrant, and whose hero is both a Nihilist and a son of the Czar. The heroine, a peasant woman by the nameof Vera, whose father keeps an inn on the road to Siberia, discovers her own brother among a group of prisoners who are on the way to the mines. She cannot assist him, but his parting words to her are revenge, and to this she devotes her life. We next see her in the secret meetings of the Nihilists, whoily given up to the ferocious task of carrying out her brother’s injunctions, Here she is the moving spirit, the most deter- mined, the most relentless of all the Nihilists. But ipto this secret conclave of conspirators comes the Czar’s son, whois a lover of the people, and for him she entertains A PROFOUND PASSION, not knowing who heis. He, of course, returns it, andis willing to brave all dangers for that love. He is indeed suspected of being a spy by several of the brotherhood, but when the soldiers break into their secret meeting ptace and are about to arrest them all, he saves them by disclosing his rank and qrdering out the soldiers, whereupon the Nihilists all greet him as brothers. We then havea scene in the Imperial Phares yg the son ee ba thwart the tyrannical purposes 0 S fathera the cruel Minister, Prince Paul Priediambpn, by picturing tne WRONGS OF THE PEOPLE and demanding justice for them. The Czar, who is an utterly craven Emperor, Impersonated by Mr. George Boniface, not only refuses to show mercy or deal justly, but proposes to destroy the entire Russian population and plant graveyards in every ‘province, because he is afraid of the Nihilists and es - of Vera. In the extremity the son announces { to the astonished sovereign ana courtiers as a Nthilist himself. Heis then ofiered bythe Em to be shot, and the order 1s given to the troops from a baleony by the Czar himself, but while giving it be is shot by a soldier, and the son te ce aoe Emperor. itis now Vera’s duty to the new Emperor and the man she loves, use the oath of the conspirators directs the vengeance of Ninil- 1 just men sent WHO ARE CROWNED ther than against the enemies of the people, and Vera, entirely blinded by the sophistry of her cumpanions, renews her vows to assassinate the concrete man she loves account a. has dismissed on the she 0 to inte hi and it is easy ee ag ay . s shed them with he last act shows us the youn apostro- Leva wm berty. justice and equity untit he is as tired as his audience, and then ke himself upon an imperial lounge to sink into the slumber of innocence, and at that moment Vera dashes the curtains aside, and, with % | A et ADDED which I am compelled to bear and constantly to think of.

THE fool who was advertised to publicly drown himself at Niagara Falls yesterday failed to connect, it seems. SS Mr, Fuan’s street sprinkler was an origi- nal idea. In fact it was unique. How much did itcost the city, and where is it now? —————— Tue Post-DisPaTcH fund for the family of the dead fireman, O’GorMAN, now foots up $532 50. Let it be made one thousand. SE A LIBBL suit is a poor thing to employ in ‘bulky for contraband traffic, and too mild a beverage for seeret- drinking.‘ The suppres- sion of all the breweries would bea big thing for the whisky trade. Beer and pure native wine are not only great auxiliaries to the in- dustry and economy of the State, but they heve saved more men from the vice of in- temperance than all the coercive temperance laws together. A LAW UNTO HIMSELF. Gov. CRITTENDEN presumes to rebuke of- ficers for attempting to enforce the Sunday law against other lines of business as well as saloons. He says that the law is not in- tended to stop legitimate lines of business on Sundays, but only such as are immoral and harmful any day ip the week. He would have the officers arbitrarily interpret the law for themselves as he does, and discriminate between occupations which they approve and such as they consider immoral and im- ] proper for any day. But that is not the law. It calls positively for the cessation of all legitimate occupa- tions on Sunday, except such as are works of necessity or charity. It is Gov. CRITTEN- DEN, and not the law, that proposes ‘. con- tinue all “legitimate” business on Sunday, but at. the same time tu absolutely dedicate that day to temperance reform, total abstinence and experimental Probibition. If the Sunday law is to be enforced to stop the sale of beverages only and to prevent industrious people from spending any portion of their only idle day in a pleas- ant beer garden, we cannot see on what ground the Governor can object to the total suppression of that business. attempting to muzzle a perfectly independ- |, Jf it is immoral and pernicious on Sunday ent newspaper. The Water-works gang will probably make the discovery in due time. PERHAPS our Exposition Directors are making a mistakein wrangling with sensi- tive architects. They ought to know what they want by this time, and they ought to know that they can’t please everybody. AFTER waiting for years and after chok- ing the city nearly to death the Board of Public Incubus this morning appointed a Special Committee to devise a general plan for the extension of the Water-works! Sound the tocsin! HAVING learned that Engineer CHAPHE has brought a libel suit against the Post- DISPATCH, the water-works engines now feel vindicated and have gone to work pump- ing about 36,000,000 gallons of water per day. There will be no further shortage. FITZGERALD, the swindling pension agent in Washington, has been debarred from fur- ther practice in the Interior Department. Mr. F. ought to be able to live for four or five years by sueing the newspapers for libel. They haye broken up his little game. FRANK JAMES’ trial is to be conducted in the Opera-house at Gallatin. Four hundred tickets of admission are to be issued daily by the Sheriff, and spectators who are found carrying weapons are to be snatched by the law. FRrawk is to have a fair show, and the people in that section of the State are to have a show, too. THE Philosopher ‘‘J. N.” is in the city to- day, delighted with the result of the Wil- son’s Creek reunion. “J. N.” is amartyr to Truth and the first man to advance the the- ory that in our late civil war both sides were right from their respective standpoints. BASIL DUKE has adopted this platform and the “‘pressure” is light on “J. N.”’ SEVERAL of the Fire Chiefs and members of the Fire Department have made liberal contributions to the fund for the relief of the family of EuGrenr O’GormMAN. The men who daily risk their lives in the service of the city are touched by the condition of the loved ones left by their uafortunate com- rade. The example set by these noble- hearted firemen should stimulate the general public, and cause a fund to be promptly raised which will. place the O’GorMAN family beyond want. ——— . BILL CHANDLER, Secretary of the Navy, has. seized the United States war vessel Tallapoosa, at Portsmouth, N. H., and has gone off on a pleasure cruise. Some men as sinful as CHANDLER would be afraid to trust themselves at sea in one of our naval tubs, but the natural desire of BiLx to cheat the Government is so great .that he would appropriate the capstan of a man-of-war fora musical instrument before he would pay two dollars for a newpiano.

If there is any day on which a workingman needs and can appreciate the personal liberty of afreemanitis on his Sunday holiday. The grounds on which our Governor stands as aone-dayi Prohibitionist should soon de- velop himinto a blooming seven-day Pro- hibitionist. AGAINST BEER. The Missouri Brunswicker admits that the laboring people of St. Louis should have some place where they can have recreation on.Sundays, apd it is liberal enough to say that they should be permitted to spend that day in the parks upon which St. Louis has spent millions ‘‘under the sanction of a Dem- ocratic administration.”’ But the Brunswick- er insists that no one knowing the Democ- racy of Missouri can expect that any beer drinking contrary to law will be tolerated in connection with such Sunday recreations, and sooner than have it the people of Mis- souri, it says, ‘‘will, as a-last resort, adopt Prohibition.” So far asour public parks are concerned, the largest and best of them are so far off that they are visited chiefly by people who keep their own vehicles or are abie to hire carriages. The small parks accessible by street car will not begin to hold the laboring population of St. Louis, and any person tak- ing anything to eat or drink into these parks is liable to arrest. Neither is any music per- mitted therein on Sunday, and the conse- quence is that the beer gardens, where music and beer are furnished contrary te law, are more thronged on Sundays than the public parks. Why should the quiet householders of St. Louis who visit these places on Sun- day with their wives and children be de- prived of this recreation? If the dram shops are kept open night and day, six days in the week, for the accommodation of rich idlers, or loafers, drunkards and gamblers, why should the beer gardens be closed against the families of a large, orderly, moral and worthy class, who are too industrious to frequent saloons during the week, and whose only dissipation is a mild glass of beer served with music on Sunday? What will it profit the State of Missouri or the cause of order and morality to make the Sunday law an annoyance and privation to thése people mainly, putting them in strait-jackets on their only holiday, dooming them to spend the day yawning and fighting flies at home, or listening to the weary and exasperating “chip, chip,” of the park sparrows? “No one can claimitis necessary for the good of the community to have beer sold on Sunday.” says the Brunswicker. But the faci is that a great many thousand people in St. Louis do claim that it is necessary for their good to have beer sold on Sunday. Unlike truly rural whisky, beer of the kind our sober people like cannot be bottled and taken home on Saturday night for Sunday use. It must be drawn fresb from a barrel packed in ice. The Democratic party has permitted both whisky and beer to be sold on Sunday contrary to law throughout the entire period of Democratic rule in Mis- sourl. The threat that it will now impose absolute and perpetual Prohibition unless the beer-gardens are closed on Sunday, does not scare anybody. If Missouri wants Pro- hibition she will haveit, Sunday or no Sun- day, and city people can ." along about as wellunder Prohibition as country people. It will still be a matter of local option whether drinkers can drink or not, anda despotic interference with popular rights will only tend to make Missouri, like Maine, one of the decaying and retrogressive States ofthe Union, , A TERRIBLE calamity has overtaken the Presidential Exploring Party. Mix Sarri- DAN, in a dispatch from Camp Teton, under date of the 18th, says that the wind biew so hard on the day previous as to destroy ang- ling entirely. “It has been powerful enough,” he adds, “to break the ridge-pole of our mess tent, but fortunately not beyond repair.” A good ridge-pole fora mess tent must be worth about one dollar.

We are more than delighted:to know that the home-made opera, “Manette,”” produced at the Pickwick Theatre last evening, was a grand success, The audience was completely carried away by it, and at the end of the first act, without even waiting for subsequent returns, Mr. FARQUHARSON, representing Alpha Council, Legion of Honor, rose and offered the following resolution, which, it ts needless to say, was unanimously adopted: “Resolved, That we, the Legion of Honor, do most heartily endorse the new opera, “Manette,” and cheerfully commend it to all lovers of art and gsthetic culture, and we do herby express our high appreciation of Mr, A, G. ROBYN as an artist, and do by these proceedings adopt Mrs. H. D. PiTTMAN as a daughter of the Legion and as- -- ohhmad to the special care of Alpha Council This was a novel proceeding, but it con- tains a hint to all ambitious playrights who dread thestrain ofa first night. It is an easy matter always to have a representative body attend a theater. Fora five-act drama five different organizations might be induced to attend and at tha end of each act a resolu- tion of indorsement and recommendation could be adopted. This would lend variety to the occasion and at the same time the orchestra would be relieved of so of its work. Attheend of the performance the author could be adopted along with the last resolution and made the special protege of the Odd Fellows, the Masons, the Elks, or some other charitable institution. In fact, a society specially organized to adopt and care for the writers of plays and librettos would be a most excellent institution. We do not see how, as a rule, the mantie of charity could be spread to greater advantage. SE A ETS A TT, REFERRING to the bad feeling which has been generated in some sections of interior Missouri against St. Louis, the Sedalia Dem- ocrat says: 2 The people of the interior are not threatening anybody ; they prefer to deal with St, Louls; they want to be encétraged in their desire to let Chi- cago alone. It is the merchants of St. Louis who are showing an utter indifference as to the direc- tion of Missouri’s trade. Prominent Chicago mer- chants are as common visitors to Sedalia as mos- quitoes, but a prominent St. Louisan is as un- known here asa white elephant. The trouble with St. Louis is that it has always pursued a dic- tatorial policy toward the interior; it has said to Missouri, ‘You can buy or let it alone;’ it has told the shippers, ‘You must submit to having your grain stolen and undergraded, or ship elsewhere ;’ it has told the country merchants, ‘We have no special inducements to make you buy of us, for we are not particularly anxious about your trade.’ At the same time the Chicago merchant slips into Missouri, furnishes reduced rates of freight and passage to Chicago and return, and makes a creat hullabaloo of hig enterprise. The Missouri peo- ple admire energy, enterprise, «hospitality and pluck. They find it in Chicago; they don’t find it in St. Louis. That's the sum and substauce of the whole matter. Perhaps there is some truth in this. At all events, the chatter of our Sedalia neigh- bor is worthy of being laid before the mér- cantile community of St. Louis. If Chicage merchants are selling goods in the heart of Missouri the fault lies with our business men, and proceedings of that kind ought to be stopped. ApouT a half dozen tramps in this city, who have strangely learned to write, amuse themselves from day to day -by dropping notes and postal cards to the Post-DIsPATCH criticising the course of the paper—one learned Theban going so far occasionally as to point out errors in punctuation and proof- reading. It would seem that literary lazza- roni of this type ought to find sufficient em- ployment for surplus energy in avoiding flies inthis kind of weather, but the itch for writing probably overcomes all other forms of cutaneous irritation. It is to be hoped that the harmless critics will continue right along. Our new waste basket holds about a | bushel and a half without ramming, and the paper mills take all the old waste that we can furnish. —_—_—__—OoO THE legal giant who represents the brew- ers in the lower branch of the Legislature, and appears as counsel for them in the sum- mer interregnum, has been interviewed rela- tive to Gov. CRITTENDEN’S attitude toward the saloon-keepers of St, Louis. He does the Governor injustice when he says that through him the anti-gambling law of the State has been rendered a dead-letter. No lavr upon the statutes is more fervently ob- served than this same anti-gambling law. Under it public gaming has been completely stopped in St. Louis. A lawcan hardly be called a “‘dead-letter” so long as everybody observes it. If there are no violations there can certainly be no prosecutions. Tux attitude of the press of St. Louis touching the enforcement of Sunday laws has alarmed the weekly newspapers of the interior. The Clarksville Sentinel sen- tentiously remarks: When the great dailies, whether for gain or etherwise, drift with the opprobrious current of inoral depravation and lawlessness, then you may listen for the deep vibrations of a more vir- tuous public sentiment rébounding through ,the country press. We always look to the country press for a first-class article of virtue. We love to see it rebounding, as it were, in the form of deep vibrations—a sort of cross between a b viol and a base ball. —_——_!_ THE METROPOLITAN PRESS.

The Heraid, commenting on Dorsey’s charges against Garfield, says: “There is, therefore, nothing, absolutely nothing, in General Garfield's acts as President which gives the least color to these assertions against a man now dead and un- able to defend himself, and for whom those who »retended to be his friends while he was alive and npower are making a very feeble defense. It seems to us that honorable men havea right to regard these accusations against Gartield as in- famous. Ifany one has proofs of their truth he, had betterdo it quickly, but if there was the least proof it woula have been produced long ago.” THE O’GORMAN FUND.

JOHN JOHNSON of Collin, Texas, the notea granger legislator, threatens the division of Tex- as into two or three States if the proposed consti- tutional ame ndments are adopted. SENATOR MAHONE says: “I don’t care who the Democrats may bring to the front; they will be beaten in the canvass of 1884. The Republicans may be disposed to wrangle among themselves for the moment, but in 1884 they will be an united party and will be successful.” THE little intimation that the Democrats are ready to admit New Mexico, which is thoroughly Democratic, into the Union may check the enthu- siasm of the Republicans tor the admission of Da- kota, with two Senators and a Congressman or two of the Republican complexion. In New Bedford, Mass., a determined effort is being made, under the lead of E. L. Barney, a leading lawyer, to enforce the lMquor laws.

The natural wonders of the upper valley of_the liowstone—the region now known as the Yel- one National Park—have been kpown to nite men since the early part of the eentury; so few had visited if, and the accounts of > were such an incredible blending of fact and acy, that any accurate knowledge of the region of quite recent date. The Indian appears al- ays Lo haye looked upon it wiih aervsion as the ome of evil spirits. wenlty years ago it was isited by a prospecting party under Capt. De acey, who discovered the lower geyser basin, and embodied ti:eir geographical observations in @ map, published by Montana Territory in 1864-5. Other explorers cxtended the field of obseryation. Une of the ealiest and most nota- bie of these was Mr. C. W. Cook of Virginia City, Moutana, wiho,inthe antumn of 1869, with two companions, succeeded in making the entire cir- nit of the present Yellowstone Park, visiting the great falis.the lake and the principal geyser regions (then known as “The Valley of Death’), nd returning along the Madison River to Boze- nh. Mr. Cook’s account of his journey, pub- hedin the Lakesiae Monthly of “Chicago, in uly, 1870, is very full and interesung, and is probably the first accurate description of regiou that appeared in rint. ais story attracted wide attention, and biber explorers followed in his track. an the summer of 1871 Dr. Hayden made an ex- nded survey, embodying the results in an ampie report, including geological surveys, maps, eic., which were published the same year. Tiese at- tracted notice from the whole country, ard lea Congress to carry into effect Dr. Hayden's sugges- tion of a reservation of the entire regien for pub- lic uses as a National’ Park. The difficulties in the way of tourists have, however, been consider- able, and visitors have been comparatively few wntil the prreret season. Now tue completion of the Northern Pacific Road has made the park ac- cessible to visitors from all parts of the country. and the influx is heavy ana uninterrupted. Tony @avaicaces and i curriage and ambulance gg me ford the rushing streams dad thread the narrow mountain roaas. Tourists and pleasure-seekers are everywhere en- countered, in parties large ana smal!; their white tents gleam through the forest trees, as they make their camp beside some rusbing’ mountain Drook, and their fires send up their wavering col- umus of white smoke to mingle wth tie clouds that rise forever fro. the steaming geysers. Yet these are but the advance guard of the grand army of sight-seers that are soon to tollow, and Zor whose accommodation arrangements are be- ing made on a scale whieh a year or two ago would have seemed astounding. A two-lundred- thousand-dollar hotel, with all of iuxu- ry and convenience that the sum implies; looks out upon the terraces of Mammoth Springs, themselves one of the greatest wonders of the ark, and autheuticaily Known but iittie more han a decadg. Other hotels are to be erected at convenient intervais throughout the entire circuit of the park, im readiness ior the travelers of an- other year. A PARK ON A NATIONAL SCALE. The term “park,” as applied to the wonder-re- gion ofthe Yellowstone, leads naturally to mis- apprebension. and cals for a revision of the com- mon meaning of the word. Here is no urban pleasure-ground, no scanty breathing space seized from a city’s precious squares of earth. It sno Bois de Boulogue, uo Unter den Linden, or ew York Central Park. Itisa grand domain of ‘mountain and forest, of valley land and rushing rivers, iargecr than Rhode Island and Delaware combined, its limits fixed upon a scale propor- tionate to our national area. Its length from ith to south jis sixty-five miles, and its width om east to west fifty-five miles, Most of this territory, forever exempt from settleinent or pri- vate ownership of any kind, and managed per- sonally by Uncle Sam, through the Secretary of the Interior, is taken from the northwestern cor- ner of Wyoming; though it includes thin strips from Montana vn the north and ldiaho upon the | West. ATTRACTIONS OF THE PARK. Within this area of 3.500 square miles are locat- ‘edacolieciion of natural pheuomena whicii no other region of the earth can rival. Many of its single features are surpassed elsewhere: The falis of Niagara and the canyon of the Colora- do are more imposing than the falls and canyon of the Yellowstone; the Alps and Sierras are } grander than its mountains; its valleys and cas- cades and brooks are more than matched in New Engisad and other portions of our country. Sut no of ser region presents all these attractions in- such epee and yariety. No other can offer such vistas Sf snow-clad penks and skies of Italy, dark green forests and swelling uplana val- leys of water roaring down a recky gorge, a white swan floating on the stillness of a mount- ain lake. And to all there must be added the only great feature of the Yellowstone—its gey- sers. These are absolutely unrivalled and unap- roached; the boiling springs and geysers of Ice- and, which alone ae! e€ mentioned in compari- son, being mere bubbling pois and oe ns be- side the great springs and geysers of the Yellow- stone, 1t is this distinctive and unique feature in addition to the lesser aitractions named which give the Yellowstone Valley its guarantee of perma- nence as a resort for travelers from all parts of the world. It is not the purpose of this article to describe the various feaiures of the Yellowstone Park in any detail. This has been often done, and by ex- perienced. travelers and observers. The curious reader would do better to get a copy of Mr. Winser’s excellent little book upon ark, published by the Putnams and suid at all he book stores, than he wonld to peruse anything I might write upon the subject. r. Winser is an experienced traveler and writer, who has severa) times ‘made the tour of the Park, and his book is clearly written, and best of all, from exagger- ation. A valuable feature of it is the liberal uotations from Hayden and other distinguishea entific and descriptive writers, who have studied the Yellowstone region. HOW TO GET THERE, So faF as the ‘question of Sapeporsntion is con- eérned, the Noribern Pacific Railroad is the Yel- lowstone route. This great road, magnilticently is now prac- tically acfoss the Continent. From its main line near Livingstone, Montana, io the region where e Big Horn ana Yellowstone Roar down their mountain path,” the railroad sends a branch through the Gate of the Mountains, following the cuurse ot the Yellow- stone to the northern boundary of the National Park, where all railroads and all private enter- rises must halt. From this point the route of the urist is by carriage or saddle, a distance of 200 nmiulles—tak ng in the various geyser regions, the Yellowstone falls, canyon and jlake—back to the place of starting. The provision for travelers in he way of hotels at various convenient ints has been alluded to. he builders and of these hotels, Med peeaies ree — Roa Ae vege os Comm. pany, under the vigorous an ection of its’ Vice-President, -C.

The success of “Manette” at the Pickwick, last night, was due almost entirely to ibe music. This statement, however, is not meant to refiect upon the librettist, for the performers gave the libretto very little show. They were not up in their parts. and, indeed, seemed to bestow more thought and elaboration upon gags and local in- terpolations of theirown than upon their inter- pretation of the literary and dramatic features of the work. . It was the first performance of Mrs. H. D. Pitt- man’s opera for which Mr. Alfred § 4G. Robyn had furnished the musical score. The audience, which was quite fashionable, filled the beautiful little theater to the doors, and there was manifest in the assemblage a imost friendly disposition to enthusiasm whenever and wherever the perfoimanee at al] warranted such a demonstration. Notwithstanding the overwhelming friendliness that displayed itself in arather rash and ridicu- lous way at the end of the first act by a whole- sale indorsement by Alpna Council, L, of H., of the opera of which the indorsers yet knew very little, the work met with genuine favor on its merits and left a very pleasant Impression of the abilities of its author, And this. too, m the face of all the ‘drawbacks that attend a first night representation, and with- out the aid of extraordinary scenic or other ac- cessaries, without havudsome chorus girls in throbbing pink limbs, and it might be said, al- most without the usual vocal assistance, that comes from the female end of the chorus. The story of “Manette” is an entertaining ad- mixture of Pinaforic love incidents, with some of the tragic-cumical features of Shakspeare’s * Ro- meoand Juliet.” A wine merchant’s daughter, bearing the same naine as the opera, is prumuised by her mercenary daddy in inarriage to a rheumatic oid Marquis. She loves a young German officer. and by means ofa sleeping potion, which beth lovers take in one, two time, underthe impression that it wil! briug them an eternal nepenthe, the crowning in- cident of the piece is reached, 2nd amid a joyful chorus and the music of the villxge band, the ai- fectionate young couple are married, and there- after live happily, as is the case in all the dramas, eomic Operas and tender heart-stories ever wrilt- ten. Miss Letitia L. Fritch sang the title role, doing her work well, both in the matter of singing and acting. She dressed the part very handsomely aud looked as charming as a new pou from which the Ureezes have not yet Kissed ts glossy.velvet. In her solos and assisted parts she made itat once apparent that she was pos- sessed of the power, sweetness apd flexivility of tone necessary toa complete and satisfactory rendition of the most difficult music. She was heartily applauded, and her singing of the solo, “Love, Joyous Love,” in the second act, Was so beautilul that the audience demanded a third repe- tition of it. This is one of the prettiest nnmbers in the opera. and like alltne music is spirited andina decidedly original vein. The waltz movement pervades the composition and the listener floats along in it in a manner that is not only agreeable but almost i pty re Soe Charles F. Lapg loolied handsome, as usual, in the uuifurm of the affeciionate Prussian Lieuten- ant. and while superbly dealing with the musical features of his task, cave an interesting exposition of its dramatic qualities. His impersonation was as a Whole clever and artistic, and there was gen- erons anplanse for the déserving points in his performance. Miss Neilie Page, who appeared as Amelia, the tmaid-servant, gave a quiet but effective coloring to her work. She sang and acted with considera- bie animation and in her own efforts, and in the duet wifh Amand, the valet, coutriouted largely to the success which attended the singing of tbat preity number. Miss Diard, as Marie, won some atteution for her modest but meritorious achievements, her solos n the first and third acts were warmly re- ceived. Gus Thomas, in the role of the parential wine merchant.made a great deal of fun,and by getting off some timely local hits caused‘not a little immod- erate laugliter atthe expense of the individuals involved imhis witticisms. W. B. Smith’s make-up as the Marquis was very fine and his presentation of the dificult role was in perfect Keeping with the care apd attention bestowed upon his costume. He sang accepta- bly, his introductory number in tne first act being particulariy well rendered, Mr. Handel was the least bit too funny as Armand, but he pleased the house and himself, and Mr. smith did 80 Wellin the conspiracy duet that the audience re-demanded it about a half dvuzen times. The orcbestral support was first-class, and the entire entertainment, notwithstanding an ama- teur sort of flavor that surrounded it, gave con- siderable pleasure to everybody present. The periormance did not begin until 8:30, and was not over until midnight. The work is too long in its present shape, aud a great deal of cull- ing and pruning w.li have to be done to squeeze it into a two hour and a halt entertainment, Mr. Rolyn, the composer, was called before the curtain at the end of the first act. He is a quiet young man, not more than 24 years of age, and ai- though this Is his first extensive effort he bas long since distinguished himself in the local niusica) field. He has given “Manette” some sweet melodies, and if they are not “catchy” enough to become popular, they at least abound in. the true art idea, and are masterly and tull of the highest merit. Mrs. Pitiman was, by a resolution, presented by Mr. aly never oe during the evening, adupted by Alpha Council as a daughter of the Legion. The performance will begin to-night at 8 o'clock. CHERUB. “MANETTE” AS SEEN BY AN AMATEUR. Sr. Louis, August 21, 1883, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: One ot those effulgent musical criticisms by the cattle reporter of the Republican which occasion- ally illuminate the coluinns of that paper, is print- ed this inorning, reviewing the rformance of “Manette” given last nigbt at the Pickwick. The composer and director of this opera is therein de- scribed as the ‘‘leader of the orchestra,” with the modifying addendum that, “considering this was his first experience as a director he kept his forces well in hand.” Many excellent citi- zens who were present last vight, whoa have at times seen the dire dismay of one Professor and the frantic furor of another Professor in an appa- rently quite nominal “‘leadersbip” of a St. Louis orcuestra, could not help contrasting therewith the easy, graceful. firm control by which Prof. Robyu Kept his forces well in “nand” under Cir- cumstances that would bave excused a good deal of nervousnesss and some loss of advantage. The St. Louis public have seen tiixs summer the sh of the newspapers over the “Three Black ioaks.” with its salacious suggestions; and “Biue Beard,” which not even the resources of the Ford Company couid make a musical success. “Manette” is Clean and wholesome. Musically it is immensely superior to either of those operas. Unfortunately, it cannot’ have in _ ali respects the “cast” which iis musical merit demands. But the people who cannot spend ah enjoyabie evening with "Manette, especially after some requisite pruning of vhe libretto re- duces the length of the periormance, must want something in an opera besides delightful music and fairly good acting.

O’Connell. who represents the l Board ithe Twelfth Ward. and asked him for t some news in the educational line. “There is nothing very new,” was his answer, “We have made a new contract for coal with the Libby Company, and, as is the custom in such cases, go over there Thursday morning to in- spect the mine and examine the quality of the coal. The supply agent, Mr. Jones, has the mat- ter in charge, aud all I know is that we meet at nion Depot at 8a. m, and go over te Collins- e ? : ile. “Who foots the bill—the board?” “No, the mining company. £, J. Crandall is the president of the corporation, and he will have charge of the excursion,” “Have any new text books been determined upon for the coming year?” “No changes have been made in text books ex- cept in case of German Dy onypnvneene + where a new system was itroduced on account of some ubjectionable feature in the text of the old books —the better system.” “The board does not meet again before the opening of the schools?” “Yes, we hold an adjourned meeting next Tues- day evening for the purpose of assigning, chanu- ing and promoting teachers, etc. About ten teachers On an average get married every year; then there are aiways some sick and some who by reason of their distance from the city cannot get back ju time. Some go to Europe—only the prin- cipals, however—eight of whom went over this summer, The places of absentees will be filled by the comimitiee and leaves of absence granted the sick or delayed teachers,” “Are there mauy teachers sick?” “A greatimany. Attheclose of the year fully one-third of the eleven hundred teachers in the schools were sick.”’ “From overwork?” “Overwork had much to do with it, but the all- ment was, in almost every instance, malaria.’’ “Had the extraordinary course of study con- cocted by Superintendent Leug anythipg to do with impairiug their health?” “Oh, no, Ll wouldn’t say that. Superintendent Long considerably moditied his course of study during the year. and for this year it has been shorn of every burdensome superfiuity.” “That's a yood thiug for both pupils and teachers?” *Yes, I guess it is.” “How miny normal graduates now remain un- employed?” “AL the close of the last year there were sixty- two unassicned teachers, but about one-half of them acted as substitutes, Every one of these. will be permanently assigned, if not at the very beginning of the coming year at any rate betore the end oi the first quarter its reached.” “Any new schools to open?” “Only the Blow school in Carondelet, It has eight rooms. The Hodygen school, twelve rooms, on California avenue and Elizabeth street,wiil not be ready before spring. This is the ouly new school now in band.” “What is all this talk about the white-washing commitiee?”’ “Just this. A lot of fellows who thought they could just run in and daub a school-room ta any way and get well paid ior it have been in the havit of getting the contracts for whitening tue schools. This yeur the building commitce thought it would bave the work properly done and so invited bids from four or five first-class whiteners in each district and gave the work ip his district to the lowest bidder. The result is that the cheap fellows are making a Kick tryine Lo get themselves interviewed, aud §0 on, Dut that is all there is to it.” A meeting of the land leasing committee will be heid to-nigut relative to the property on Broad- way aud Cuerry street, occupied fouily by Messrs.

Isympathoize of cou’se with the pooah fellahs who held out fo’ s0 lawng a toime and were chen fo’ced to weturn to theian keys—I believe that is proofessional atoile of longwidge to use in this connection—witnou t gaining tneiah point, but when a chap sends 2 telegwam to his guv. fo a haundwed doilahs, and gets an answer back awsking himif he wants ’em fo’ himself or the dawg, the wesult is weally distwessing. Fo’ the loife of mel failed to discovah at the toime wheah the mistake was. 1 surmoised tha: the guv. was fwoying to get off a joke, so [I awaser’d back: “Fo moiseilf.” A ha houah latah came the old un’s wesponse: “All wicht. Ship to-doi by fweighi.” Well, by Jawve! Thinks I, the Guv. must ha’ bin weadivg the humowous pawa- gwaph in some dwug stoah almanack, or else he’s been toa niegah minstrel show lately. Then I wapidly gwew excoijted and angwy. The oidea of ling’ wing in exaspewating povality awound town untila wemuttance could weach me by fweight was widicuilous. I needed the cash badiy wight away. Buttheah was nothing to do but wait. This was noineteen days ago. This mawn- ing I weceived notice fwom the wailwood compa- ny that adwy goods box full of numbah 134, col- lahs had arwived consoined to me aud the chawges fo’ the same were two dollahs and a hawf. Juat loike they say on the stoige,ina moment I saw itall. Some plug opewatah had madea mistake. and the wemawk about the dawg in the guav’s telegwam bad weference to my skoil-terriah. He’s a beauty, old fel, you should see him chasing his tail awound when a flea geis on the extweme end of that wemawkabie appendage. I had nothing to do, howevah, but eesrewape the old man again explaining evewything. The wailwoad people may keep the collans, They area hawf size too lawge fo’ me anyhow. : ees IT stwoikes me tlieah is something extwemely mystewious in the methods of ouah Mayah.

I wefer to Mr. Sexton, the vewry able and obloig- ing gentleman who pwesides ovah ouah foiah de- be gsm The insuwance men all along have een saying thai Sexton must go. Now, the Mayah makes the same wemawk. The Solid Seven, howevuh, ure fwendly to the old Jackson Democwat and ey pwopuse to see that he don’t go. Weally, I think the Solid Seven are woight. Fo’ my pawt I loike to see a lawge, fat man with a good pair of lungs, you know, making ail the noise he can awound a big conflagwation. You can always foinad him, you know, in the turbulent throng in case you have left youah peckit-Knvite or scawl-pin in tue sixth stowy of the hotel, und want himto send a fiah- my up a laddah to wescue youah pwoverty fwom e fl; Deah me, but it seems terwible that ouah police don’t appeah tobe able to pweveut burglahs fwom pwosecuting theiah nefawious tabahs.

By Jowve! it has bina hto me how it’s all Gone, you know; but then I guess it’s one of those koind of things{a fellah’s not expectid to foind out. Moi astonishment, howevah, is not so gweat since I heard the stowy about how two ‘burglabs entered the Foah Cou’ts the othah noight, and altah keting what valuables they could discovah, took a sudden toiking to the chaiab in which the sawgeant in chawge was sitting asleep, and immejitly pwoceeded to get possession of it. They toid wopes awound the sawgeaut’s thumbs and then strung him up quielly aid awtistically*to the gaws-fixtuahs, wholie they slowly wemoved the chaiah fwom the sedentawy po’tion of his gawmints.

Mr. Crawford Is ex-Mayor of the city ana Mr. Plumer is a prom- inent banker, From these gentlemen a Post-Dis- PATCH reporter obtain a sort of sym- posum on Pennsylvania politics, as r. Egiert is z Democrat and Mr. Crawford a Republican. Mr. Egbert said that Pennsylvania would be foundin the Democratic ranks at the next election, ag the Republican par- ty is nopelessiy splitup. Simon Cameron is too old to take an active part in politics, and Don can- not manage his party, so the fight over the spoils and offices has disgusted the people so much that the citizens are apt to vote without regard to par- ty, and ae thinks this will hold good in the Presi- dential eiection. The Democrats have no special choice of Presidential candidates. Pattison, the present Governor, is very popular and they would like to see him pushed to the front. For the Speakership, Sam Randull, of course, is the first choice and a good many Penn- sylvanians think be would make a good i .vsi- ent.” Mr. Crawford wag not enthusiastic about Re- publican prospects, but wus inclined to think that harmouy might be restored in time for the next couflict.

SNOWSHOE THOMPSON, How He Killed a Grizzly Bear with a Shoelanee, From the San Fraucisco Call. The fourteen-feet-long snowshoes © of “Snowshoe ‘Thompsou’’ will be sent to the Louisvilie exhibition. by H. J. MeKusick, superintendent of the Railway Mail Service on the Pacific coast. ‘be shoes are those built for ‘Lhompson, who was a mail carrier on various Sierra Nevada routes for many years, and who died only a few vears ago. if a history of a few of the startling advent- ures encountered by Thompson couid be sent along with the shoes, they would indeed be an interesting exhibit. For many years ‘Thompson carried mall over the route from Piacerville to Virginia City, crossing the Sierra Nevadaon the way. Ata point just south of Lake Tahve, on the shores of Failen Leai Lake, Lhompson had a little cabin of his own ior use in case he any time failed to make Yank’s Siation, on Lake ‘Tahoe, on the Western trip, as that was the longest and hardest day’s snowshoeing he had, and it meant death to be overtaken by darkness or a storm Without sheiter. Each year the last stage torun over the road in the fail would leave sume bacon, fthouur and whisky at this cabin, s0 that in an ewer- geucy Thompsen would be provided for. It happened that ove winter, during a storm of snow se thick that Fhompson’s progress was any further than the cabin, on accuunt o1 the sudden and impenetrable darkness whici overtook him just at that point When Thoupson had entered the cabin and started a fire, he was amazed to find the bacon gone and the flour trampled and scatiered over taé floor, the work evidently of a bear, whieh fiad broken ip the dour, incited to that rash act, no duubt, by the odor of bacon. The whisky was stili there, and ‘Lhompson cou- cluded that a few hot giasses of that would satisfy him for the night, and after several Well-imixed glasses he roiled up ia his biankets and went to sleep with bis feet to the log fire. He woke at daybreak and opened the door to take a look at the weath- er before strapping on his shoes and pro- ceeding to Yauk»s for bis breakfast. As be did so he was decidedly startied by seeing camped. just outside of the dovur @ haii- grown grizzly, Which was evidently waiting to see who or what Was occupying his quar- ters. Thompson jumped back and the bear waddied in, and gave evidence of his satis- faction at the prospect of a mail-carrier fora winter’s feast. He couldu’t get out of the door, so Thompson jumped up, caught hold of a crossbeam, and drew hiuselfup The bear camped underneath and grinned in- dignantiy, as though saying, “Weli, old fel- Jow, you’ve got to drop dow sooner or later; here goes to see which of us can outlast the other.’ ‘Thompson sat it out ali that day and the aoe ene night. There was no use in crying for help, as none would be within hailing until the spring He could not jamp down and fight the bear with his pocket knife, his only weapon, and ‘altogether tlie case looked pretty desperate for the oid mail carrier. His snow-shoes were leaning from one end of the cabin to the wall at the other end and Thompson finally opened his knife and lashed it with his searf torn in strips on one end of one shoe, making a formidable lasso of it. While the bear camped under him he could not use his lance, the cabin not being longenough. ‘Thompson at last got the animal outside the door, by tossing one of his stockings out, which the bear lounged out to investigate. That got him far enough to be prodded and Thompson repared. When the grizzly had snitfed the ait, it turned round, facing the door, and found its snout within a foot of Thompson’s lance point. The old waijl-carrier only had a fout to draw back his lance, but he used it ° 260 |.10 yood advantage, for carefully drawing it Marriage | PAGES |*back he gave it a sudden lunge forward, the knile aening Se bear’s brain through one of its eyes. hen the exhausted mali-car- rier reached Yank’s and told this story it was doubted, although Thompson had a re- narkable reputation for truth-teiling among those Lardy liars of the mountains. ‘There, if you don’t believe me, boys,” Thompson said, “the United States mail ken wait until wy carrackter is vindikated. J’ll not leave this place until some of ye doubting lubbers has gone back thar, and brought me a steak from that. thar bar.” It was done. Yank himself and some of the men about the sta- tion went back on snow-shoes, and Thomp- son had his dinner off a steak of the bear he had killed with his snow-shoe lance, H. M.

Miss Conley, though the must enormous of her sex, weighing as she did 497 pounds, fell far short of that hu- man prodiay of human bulk, the famous Danie Stamford Fair, at the age of 40. Lambert weighed no less than 52 stone 11 pounds, ;that is 739 pounds, or close upon half as much again as the American lady. Daniel Lam- bert’s coffin with his body eould not be brought down the stairs of the house in which he died, and the wall at the sides of the window had to be broken away to pro- vide an exit. He was 5 feet 11 inches in height, measured 9 feet 4 inches around the body, and 3 feetl inch around the leg. He never drank any beverage but water, and slept less than eight hours per day. The “Claimant” at bis stoutest weighed only 26 stone, or less than balf the weight of Daniel Lambert. x A Celestial Doctor.

SIGHTS IN THE WEST. Some of the Strange Things Seen by an Eastern Traveler. From the Monongahela Republican. Since 1 came into Coloradal have played at snow-bdall with John Sutmanon the last day of July. I have seen ladies scrape away the snow and pick flowers fromm the ground under the snow, and I have seen red-ripe strawberries picked from green bushes after kicking off a Poot of snow from over them. This at Alpine Pass. I have seen men on horseback along the railroad tracks, where we have inen afoot, as track-walkers; have seen these men draw out a red flag and ride back at dare-devil gallop over the ties to flag a train, I have seen the ticket-agent at Marshal’s Pass, 10,725 feet altitude, sitting by a roaring tire in-his office on July 30th, while outside the ladies of our excursion were gathering wild-flowers and berries, thermometer 44° in the shade, I have seen the adobe houses of the Mexi- cans at Pueblo, wherein was more dirt and filth thaa was ever dreamed of by an English family ; wherein mén, women, girls, and vis- itors alike slept under straw on a clay floor, in the room which was alike kitchen, parlor. and bedroom. I have seen Mexican girls with castinets dancing a fandango, wearing nothing but a few sunflowers in their long, black hatr, unabashed in the presence of a hundred on-lookers, i have seen in the streets of twenty saloon towns open gambling hells, with asign above the door, “Cards and Rum.” i have seen on the streets of Denver splendid houses, the vcecupation of whose female inmates was only too plainly ipdicated by a transparency gas lamp suspended iu the vestibule. I have seen mountains of rocks thousands of feet high, with the stones arranged layer upon layerasif built by a mason, as regu- larly and carefuliy laid, aud. I have seen standingsin the middle of a plain a flat stone on its edge 330 feet toitstop. And I have seen in the Royal gorge a mountain over 2,000 feet high, ail seeming one solid mass of stone, without a crack or crevice—actually one big solid rock. I have seen, and have in my satchel, speci- mens of coal brought from the same mountain, oue from an anthracite vein prov- ng up eighty-nine per cent carbon, and an- other of bituminous coal from a vein eight feet thick and from a tested Geld of 3,505 acres owhed by one man. I have seen a girl dashing over the plains on hurseback dismount to pick up a bouquet for her hat, and, calling her Newfoundland dog, step on his bac« and remount. l have seen an open Bibie iving on an ele- gantiy carved oak altar at the entrance of a rum shop and poewiios den at Leadville, aid above the Bible asign painted, saying: *Piease, Kind Friends, Don’t Swear.” ‘Think of such an appeal made in such a way by the kéeper of a. drinking den!

Just before the battle of Mark’s Mill, in Bradley county, Arkausaw, an incident oc- curred which has since been told at all re- unions to the amusement of all hearers. Just before the battle opened, a federal scout, while riding through the woods, discoyered a confederate scout sitting under a tree. The federal disinounted and.approached cautious- ly from behind, The confederate’s gun was leaning against the tree, and the federal reached around and removed it, stepped for- ward and exclaimed. “On, yes, I’ve got you!” ‘“I'nat’s a fact.” ‘Come, get on your horse, and I'll take you in?” ‘the two men mounted and started on through the woods in a airection which the federal supposed to be the union lines, but which the confederaie soon discovered was toward his own command. They had not gone far when a slow fire of musketry caused the federal to ask: “You know who that is over there?” **) 63. “Who ts it?’ ‘Joe Shelby.’”’ ‘The devil it is!’ They went on a little further, the federal all the time keeping the confederate’s gun lying across the horse, in front of him, when when the crash of small arms, aud the boom, boom -of cannon caused the two men to stop. ‘Do you know who that is?” asked the federal.” “ e ” “Who is it?” “Marmaduke.” ‘The devil it is!”’ They went on again, the federal growing more and more nervous. Preity soon heavy firing, and the awful rebel yell told that the battle was opened. “Do you know who that is up there?’ asked the federal. és "es.”’ “Who is it?” “Maxey with his Injins.”’ “The h—li itis! Here you take the gun,” and by the time the exchange was made the men were in the confederate lines.

The Strange Mental Malady of the Ne- vada Senator. From the Carson (Nev.) Appeal. For some years past the friénds of James G. Fair’ have hinted at a mental malady which affects the Senator and which the believed would, in time, end in insanity. It appears that some years ago, in California, he received severe Injuries at the hands of a miner, who beat him about the head with a pick-handle, and from the effects of this murderous assault he has never recov Fair had promised the miner the next va- cant piace in the mine, and keps him several montus lingering about the hoisti works, One day the miner learned that Fair was simply having a little sport at his expense and made the assault described. A strange hallueination took possession vf Fair and pursued him nightand day. He told several of his friends that he was destined to die by a stroke of lightning, and this means of death seemed to him to be worse than all Others, Several physicians treated him for his ailment, and one day he wold a doctor in San Francisco that if he ever told the truth he would be struck dead by a thunderbolt from Heaven. At first peopie thought that Fair was simply amusing himself at their ex- pense, but it soon becaine evident that he was in dead earnest and was tying to avert the caiamity by every means in his power. He avoided the truth with a care born of Jong watchfulness and studious training. Ever on his guard, he lied systematically to all whom he met and never suffered any- thing to escape his lips which could be twist- ed into a semblance of veracity. Sometime in a moment of absent-mindedness, he woui raze it rather closely, and then with a shud- er the thought of his fate would recall him to his senses, and, lifting his eyes a momeut toward Heaven, he would roll out a miscel- laneous assortment of the most delightful fictions, charming all who heard. He ifed systematically about the smallest matiers. If he came up from Reno in his rivate conveyances he would assure tha 10usehold that he arrived by the train. When he started fur Carson he alwavs gaye out that be haa business in Truckee and if he at- tended a horse race he wouid come home and | regale the family with the minute detajjs of | a cock fight. Jie would always in the mdrn- | ing call up his servant for his black suit, and | after the man was out of sight Fair would | hide the biack suit and put on a pepper-and- | saltattire. “fitch up the team and take | me d.wn to the’ Union,” he would say, and then slip off on foot to the Savage. He would often stop men on the street aad tell them that Mackay wanted to see them in the Curry office when he knew that Mackay was up at the Sierra Nevada mine or down at Sau Francisco. A few months ago he called upon one of the heads of the departments at Washington and asked bis assistance in a new scheme of philanthropy. He proposed to erect an asy- lum for the orphans of the officers who died | duting the war. His idea was to expend | $10,000,000 on the buiiding and then endow it | with $1,000,000 a year. He wanted his dupe | to get a bili framed which wou'd make Con- | gress the custodian of the fund and insure | the honest use of the vast donation. The | man he toyed with for several weeks became | aimostinsaue with the idea of the vast re- | sponsibility of the scheme, fur Fair insisted | that he should direct all disbursements, He told him to select asite for the buildings and secure a good architect immediately. Sena- tor Jones finaliy told the peor man that Fair was simply amusing himseil with his favor- ite hobvy and did not intend to do anything at ali. Fair has now settled down to perfect an elaborate system of falsification which wiil eclipse all the histurical liars of the past. At one time he attended seances to confer with Baron Munchausen, but after two sit- | tings the Baron declined any further ac- | quaintance with the Senator.

How the Law is Administered in Wales —A Scandalous Outrage. From the London Tr uth, A most scandalous miscarriage of justice took place last week at Brecon, and is fully reported in the South Wales Daily News. An old man uf the name of Morgan went to call upon his landlords, ‘Thomas and. John Harris, both of them apparently magistrates. Phey gave the vld man whisky, and his con- dition is thus described by a medical man, after his visit to them: “I saw the prosecutor. His hair was cut close. [found two or three scars on the bavk of his right hands They were appar- ently procueed by burning. 4 then examined his lett thigh. On the back of the hip tnere were wounds fouranda half to five inches in length, and covered by a scab about haif an inch wide. I believe they were inflicted by buruing. I then examined the front of his thigh, and saw three wounds on each thigh, covered by a scab, varying from an inch to half an inch in length. These wounds were also caused by burning. (He then de- scribed other injuries, which were of sucha nature as to be unfit for publication.) The wounds [ saw could be produced by an or- dinary poker. He was under my care for four months.” Mr. Justice Field, in summing up, asked the Jury (@ special one) ‘to dismiss from their minds with scorn the fact that these young men were landlords aud were highly connected. Arich man must, if he broke the law, suffer the same as any other one.” Not so, however, thought the special jury, for they were unable to agree and were dis- charged. Reterring to this case next day. Mr. Justice Field said: “There was a case tried yester- day, which, to my intense astonishment, re- suited in the jury not being able to agree. I kay hothing of the revolting cruelty. How men can De found to ilitreat an old man in that manner passes my comprehension, and why. tne jury could not agree upon the mat- ter still more passes my compreheasion. But itis their aifa.r, not mine. I hope they are satisfied they did their duty.” Why, indeed! How many of the brother magistrates of the Harrises were on this scandalous jury? ‘These rutfians are to be tried again, and seeing how strong their local intluence isin Breconshire, I would suggest thac the trial should take place in sume other locality, Where there is achance of empaneil- ing au honest jury.

Haynes & Co. American potters have heretofore been far be- hind Europeans in the production of ceramics of real artistic worth, and it cannot but be a source of great pleasure to those interested"in the prog- ress of this usefyl and beautifnl art to note the advancement made by a few American manu- facturers, chief among whom are D. F. Haynes & Co. of: the Chesapeake Pottery at Balti- more. They have executed exquisite specimens of art work in this line, consisting of two medallion heads representing Winter and Summer. The design of the former was created by a clever English artist, and of the lat- ter by Mr. James Priestman of Boston. They are done in Parian body made from native materials, whieh would compare favorabiy with the most delicate porcelain of ony foreign manufacture. The artists have caught the spirit of the seasons, and in features and accéssories have civen an art- istic and charming expression to tie ideals. In material, workmanship and in all that makes true ceramic art, these medallions sess’ merit ofa high order. D. F. Haynes & Co, are to be con- gratulated on their success in this line of art work.

The American Czcilian Society meets to-mor- row at Cleveland, Ohio,and will remain in conven- tion three days. The society has about 100 mem- bers in St. Louis, consisting of the priests, organ- ists and choirs of Sts. Peter and Paul, Liborius and Holy Trinity Churches. An effort was made by the local society about a year ago to induce the principal Catholic churches of this cky to adopt the Ceecilian method of singing, which 1s after the manner of the Gregorian chants. The three churches named were the only ones that adopted the method, anda .the society has awindied« down to the actual singers, instrumentalists and directors of those churehes. A *P.-D. reporter this morning in- terviewed some of the gentlemen who were most prominent in the organization of the,society here, notably Dr. F. L. Stuever of ©1328 North Ninth street, and Rev. Fred. Brinkhoff of No. 1106 Mal- linckrodt street, but neither of the gentlemen coula give any information concerning the con- vention. The New York Echols a strong advo- cate of Czcilian music, and from its columns it is learned that the convention will not be composed of regular delegates but of persons who are anx- ious to substitute the Czecilian for the florid music generally sung in Catholic Churches. Only one member from Missouri has thus far announced his intention of attending and he is a priest from Carlyle. The work of the convention will, no doubt, revive local iaterest in C zcilian music. The Lilinois Game Law. Several of our readers on the other side of the river have requested us to publish the [linois game law. Here it is in full: SECTION 1.

An officer of the (Central District and Hiber- nian origin, appeared as prosecuting witness in a case of assault to kill, yesterday in the Court of Criminal Correction: The facts in the case were as follows; The officer, who is one of the pluck- iest little men in the district, accosted two men who were§apparently quarrelling on Fourth street, and was ready to beon hand if wanted. When the attention of the meM was attracted to the officer they setupon him, and taking his club, one of inem dealt him two blows on the head. The officer proceeded thus far in the testimony when Jucge Cady, who appeared for the State, said, Re Sheriff, please produce that club in evi- ence.” “I don’t think there is any necessity,” said Judge Noonan. “It isa common ordinary police- man’s club, I suppose.”’ The officer listened to the dialogue up to this point, when he turned to the court and said, “No, yer Honor, its the finest on the foorce.” The testimony was then resumed, when the officer said, “He tuk my club and hit me two biows on the head. [thought I was kilt, so up I sprung and pulled my revolver and tuk my man to the station.” The officer was outsworn by the defense and Foley was acquitted. Wanted—A Wife. “I beg pardon, Miss, but are you the young lady who wants to get married?” was the question Mr. J.J. MeBriae addressed to a young woman in the ante-room of the Court of Criminal Gerrection. THE LOUNGER. 1 HAVE seen plenty of men surreptitiously gaz- ing into glass doors and show cases as they passed along the street, not for the purpose of examining the goods therein displayed, but solely to admire the reflection of their own elegant figures and store clothes. Ithink I have noticed ladies do the same thing, but few people have the courage to deliberately use a show-case window as a mir- ror by which to arrange a toilet. I was walking along some distance out Olive street the other evening when I saw two dainty looking misses, well up in their teens, apparently inspecting the colored globes in a drug store window very close- lv. When I came nearer, however, I noticed some suspicious-looking movements in the way of touching up bangs and adjusting hats and rib- bons. The street was nearly deserted and the young ladies evidently thought they were unob- served, for just as I got within close range one of them glanced up and there was the clerk, having ag laugh all to himself; and the other turned and caught my watching eye. There was a sup- pressed scream, several giggles, and two blushing young ladies disappeared around the corner, WHEN Senator [Maxey was in the city on his way North, he carried a solid gold-headed cane of a reddish brown tinge. In achat about Texas, he tapped the cane and remarked: “This is one of the products of Texas. It is made of wood called bois d’arc, and it is the finest wood for the manufacture of vehicles In the world. It is just suited for a Southern climate, because it does not shrink in the driest atmosphere and will stand any amount of wear. We manu- facture a gvod many wagons and carriages now wate expect to furnish Mexico with them before ong.’ : I sEE that Pierre Louck has returned from Eu- rope to mend up after his first serious accident since he has taken rank as a professional gym- nast. Pierre is one of the brightest stars among the graduates of the Missour1 Gymnasium, and his career has been a brilliantone. He was a wonder before he went to Europe, and some of his marvelous feats are remembered still, and bob up in print now and then. Physically he might be called a dandy; slender and agile but muscular, in motion he is grace personified. Louck and his partner, Fox, played an engagement of eighteen months in Paris, and were the idols of the circus where the gymnastic profession is rated high and a fine gymnastis much sought r. y met with same'success in other European cities. Pierre’s costumes were considered the richest in Europe, and were the talk of the circus frequent- ers while he was in Paris. If the two gymnasts are here at the —— of the addition to the gymnasium, an exhibition of their skiil is expect- ed to be a feature of the opening. e*-« I sEE thatanew ghost story turns up every now and then to keep the heads of timid people under the coverlid, and I ran across one not long since myself. Joseph Reefe,a German farmer, lives out on the Isboro road some distance, and he has a complaint to make against an in- visible Wagon and team that rattles up to bis gate sometimes in the evening. He has often heard the team and wagon coming along the road and stop at his gate, 2nd thinkingit was some one wanting to see him his gone out to see,as most farmers do, but it happened so frequently that go wagon or team were in sight that he has stop looking for them. The sound nevertheless worries him terribly. There isastoryin the neighbor- hood of a man who went to sell produce year after yearand one day his team without a driver trotted up to his nouse, where this house now stands, and when it. was discovered by a member of his family the man’s deaa body was found in the wagon, stabbed through the heart and his pockets plundered. The murderer never was caught, but that invisible team trots up to ik accustomed piace with troublesome regu- arity. I pon ’t know what respect is due from the aver age policeman to the average citizen, but I have a very gorgeous idea that the pair of patrolmen I saw aud heard on the south side of Franklin avenue, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth fate Monday snight, were doing anything but dis- charging their duty according to the requirements of the police manual. They began operations by making remarks in the loudest possible tone, about a lady and gentleman who were waiting for an mg te are car on the opposite corner, and when their talk was allowed to pass without com- ment, one struck upa cremawiya, pitched in a high hey, while the other whistled to the very Canmnoes notch of his ability, and the well-mated pair sauntered up the avenue in the direction of Sixteenth. If these men are paid for preserving quiet and order, it seems to me they ought to have turned on an alarm for the patrol wagon and treated themselves to a ride down to the Third District, where they could put charges each other of disturbing the peace. ee A VERY curious thing about deaf-mutes is the rapidity with which they learn the’ meaning and use of slang words and phrases. The ordinary street language of the day seems to be every bit as familiar to them as it is to people whose organs of hearing are not impaired, and they will say, in their own way, “you bet your boots!” or ‘you bet vour sweet life!” with as mucn ease and grace as if they had it at their tongue’s end all their lifves. One of the afflicted young men whom I asked for an explanation of this remarkable fact, said the deaf-mutes got their knowledge of slang from the newspapers; that they were great readers of: the papers, and snapped up a new phrase or word just the moment it made its appearance, They not only use slang in writing but also in tneir sign- language.
