PHILADELPHIA, September 4. — Judge Hoadly, accompanied by his wife and his son Edward, arrived in this city last night on the 7:25 train from Cincinnati. As the Judge stepped from the cars he appeared care-worn and tired, though astranger would never have taken him to beasick man. He greeted the reporter who met him in the sta- tion very cordially and together they walked ‘to the St. George Hotel, but a_ short distance away, where he will stay during his visit here. On reaching his rooms the Judge retired almost immediately, excusing himself from talking on the plea that his long jour- ney on the cars, coupled with his poor health, had utterly fatigued him. Every effort was made to keep the fact of the Judge’s arrival and his whereabouts a secret. Assoon as the party reached the hote! Mrs. Hoadly gave orders that under the circumstances she did not want HER HUSBAND DISTURBED. As his name did nut appear on the register the reporters of the local papers were a long time hunting him up, and it was long after midnight before they discovered his where- abouts. The physicians whom Judge Hoadiy came here to consult, made a thorough diagnosis of the Judge’s troubles this after- noon. ‘loa PosT-VDIsPATCH reporter, who called at his office, the Doctor said that his patient would probably recover his health in a few weeks provisos he remained quiet and away from Ohio. “What he’ needs most is rest,’”’ said the physician. Ile has been working hard, in fact, and it has broken him down. Judge Hoadly is a wWhole-souled man and when he attempts to do anything he bends every nerve to accom- plish his purpose. When he accepted the nomination for Governor of Ohio he did so with the intention of being the HARDEST WORKER IN THE PARTY. Despite the warnings of his friends he went right to work stumping the State. Any one who has traveted through Ohio knows that it is a very malarious State. The Judge’s route brought him right through the worst districts and he became infected with the fever. Even when he knew and felt that he was sick he kept right on making speech- es in the open air. Now there is a limit even to the strongest man’s. strength, and when he oversteps the mark he must sooner or later succumb to the effects of it. “Do you consider Judge Huadly’s condi- tion dangeruus ?” asked the réporter, in a week or so. He needs rest and iess ex- citement and worriment than he would of necessity have to undergo in Ohio if he stayed there.”’ ' “Then you think it was wise for him to leave the State for awhile?” ‘“Most decidedly | do. That is the best medicine he couid take. THERE IS NOTHING DANGEROUS about his condition so far as l can see now. Give him ten day’s complete rest and Judge Hoadly will be able to make the campaign in Ohiv just as lively as the Republicans will want, and probably a little more so.”’ Mr. Edgar M. Johnson, Judge Hoadly’s law partner, is nowin New York, but tele- grapes to-night that he would be over here on Wednesday. ILLINOIS ITEMS. Camp Logan Breaking Up—Murder at Danville—Deaths.

Alleged Poisoning and Other Unsubstan- tiated Statements—Miss Rose Burns’ Life and Death—Her Mother’s Allega- tions. | Ty Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, New York, September 4.—Mrs.Dr. Sparr, a sister of the notorious ‘Tennie Claflin and Victoria Woodhull, and who at present re- sides in Brooklyn, made a formal request to Coroner Martin yesterday for an official in- vestigation of the circumstances surround- ing the death of Miss Rose Burns, her daughter bya former marriage, who died two weeks ago while living with the family of Mr. De Martine at No. 313 East Four- teenth street. Her body at present re- poses in the De Martine family vault in the Roman Catholic Church of the Nativity on Second avenue, According to the certificate of death Miss Burns is alleged to have died of cancer, but Mrs. Sparr eharges that her daughter was kept a prisoner in Mr. DeMartine’s house, and came to an untimely end by poison. Rose Burns was 28 years old when she died. She had lived for eight years in the family of DeMartine, having fled, as she said, from the unnatural life in her mother’s home to that of her kind friends. Mr. DeMartine and$his daughter received Rose as a friend, when, offended with HER MOTHER’S MODE OF LIFE, she ran away, in 1876, to earn her own living. The two girls were of one age, and ever since have lived to- gether as sisters. Miss Rose sought and found employment ina Sixth avenue dry goods store as anembroiderer. By the aid of her friend and patron, Mr. DeMartine, she also found her father, Ross Burns, who proved to bea prominent and wealthy rail- road lawyer in Topeka, Kan. He had mar- ried after his wife’s desertion, but had no children by his second marriage. He re- ceived his daughter gladiy. ‘Two years ago they met and it was arranged that she should yo and live with him remunnety: She went to the West, but Mr. Burns died on the 19th of June, 1882. THE BULK OF HIS PROPERTY, amounting tv $250,000 real estate,was left to his daughter Rose. The Topeka wife, howev- er, promptly began suit to assert her rights, and the estate got in chancery, where it yet remains. Miss Rose had meanwhile returned to New York. Here, a few months later, she fell illin the DeMartine house, and dur- ing nine months of terrible suffering never left her bed. Her disease was abdominal cancer ‘hat from the first was hopeless. Dr. Mark Williams, of No. 257 West Eleventh street, his partner, Dr. Vosburg, and Dr. Lee, aneminent specialist who acts as sur- geon in a woman’s, hospital, saw and treated the patient, but agreed that an operation would give no relief. Two weeks ago DEATH ENDED HER SUFFERINGS, A death certificate was made out in regular form, giving cancer as the cause of death, and the remains were temporarily put in the vault, to await burial. A will was found, made by Miss Burns several months before her death, bequeathing all ber propervy to Miss Rosalie De Martine, her friend and faithful nurse dur- ing her long illness, to whose untiring devo- tion and skili Dr. Williams attributes the factthat bis patient’s life was prolonged months beyond the limit thought possible by him. During the daughter’s illness Mrs. Dr. Sparr had cailed repeatedly but had been re- fused admission, and Miss Rose declined to see her. Other efforts had been made indi- rectly by the Woodhulls to approach and make peace with the young woman. TENNIE CLAFLIN had written to Mr. DeMartine asking him to come to England and see her. He®had, with sarcastic emphasis refuSed. When Mrs. Sparr learned that her daughter was dead she visited Coroner Martin and laid before him a story of suspected malpractice that startled that official. The impression was conveyed to him that the gir! had been a prisoner in the DeMartine house. Mr. Sparr urged an offi- cial investigation apd a coroner’s inquest. Yesterday the coroner visited Dr. Nagle, the registrar of vital statistics, and conferred with him about the matter. It was agreed that there could hardly be a question con- cerning the correctuess of the facts as set forth in tbe final certificate of* Dr. Williams, but that the body being unburied it would be as well tv removeit to the Morgue, and have an autopsy made to prove the facts. No decisive steps were taken to effect this, but it is possible that this course’ may be de- cided upon to-day. Mrs. Dr. Sparr is said to be A CLAIRVOYANT doing business in Brooklyn. Of her action Mr. DeMartine said yesterday to a reporter, “It is spite, pure and simple. She would like to have some of the money left to Rose by the father, and to that end claims now to be his only widow, though she denied him before and has since had two children by an- other man, “‘Dr. Sparr,” to whom she cannot have been married. Theother wife out in St. Louis is also fighting for the money, per- haps with no more just ciaim toit. As for Mrs. Sparr really believing that any harm came to her daughter in my house, she does nothing of the kind. She knows better and merely desires to annoy us.”’ . OH, SHE’S A DAISY! Jay Gould’s Yacht Atalanta—The Ralil- road King Sporting. By Telegraph to the Post-Diapatch. New YORK, September 4.—The speed of the steam yachts, the Atalanta and the Stranger, owned by Jay Gouldand E. 8. Jeffray respectively, has been the subject of much controversy, with wide difference of opinion among the admirers of each vessel. The coincidence of their owners arriving yesterday at 3:15 p. m. at the foot of West Twenty-third street, and reaching their ves- sels at the same time, was the occasion ofa friendly trial of speed which in its result has doubtiess settled the matter beyond further dispute. A reporter witnessed the start. The Stranger hada lead of alength when the two yachts left Twenty-third street at 3:28. Five minutes laterthe Mary Powell e out of her slip at Twenty-second stheet, and for some distance the three boats could be seen on their way up the Hudson, the ATALANTA AND THE STRANGER close together and the eg! Powell half a mile in the rear. With the intention of learning the resu!t of the contest, for such it was likely to prove, the reporter took a Hud- son River train and arrived at Irvington to find the rival yachts at their u: anchor- age, not far from each other. [n Irvington it was reported that the Atalanta had passed the pier at least four miles ahead of the Stranger, with the Mary Powell a hind Mr. Gould’s yacht. —_ Shackford was found on board of the ning vessel plainly jubilant. “Yes, we had an even start,” he said, “‘and made ae twenty-one miles from Twenty- min minutes Stranger. We have run the . 4 — oo Sere * R ~ ™ Seka ~ ? , < o: le be- s anchorage in an hour and o : distance in an hour, but to-day there was & head-wind and a strong ebb tide. nst this our speed was fifteen knots or seventeen miles an hour. Possibly if we had been: pressed we could have done better, but the Atalanta took the lead at Thirtieth street and increased it with every revolution of the screw. I think,” he added, “MR. GOULD WAS MUCH GRATIFIED that we heid our gwn so weil and completelv with the Mary Powell. She is considered the fastest boat on the river, and it must have astonished her captain when he failed ~ i ames us with the slight lead that we 1ad.”” The name of Mr. Roach’s acht, the Yose- mite, being mentioned, Cart. ” Shackford said that he considered her, if anvthing, rather inferior to.the Stranger in point of speed. “I understand.” said he, “that her owner has evaded a triat on several occa- sions when it was offered. It is likely he will feel less inclined than ever after to-day’s contest, which he witnessed as far as Yonk- ers, to try conclusions either with the Ata- lanta or the Stranger.” The Old, Old Story. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, September 4.—The sharp report of a pistol shot, followed by a wom- an’s screams, arrested the crowd on Chest nut street yesterday afternoon, in front of the jewelry manufacturing establishment of Thomas Guilbert. Reserve Officer Newman rushed up’stairs and found Miss Mary Fish- er, 17 years old, with the blood streaming from a wound through the nose. The only other occupant of the room was Frank Ste- phens, a boy of 15, living at No. 844 Tasker street, and employed in the jewelry estab- lishment. The boy was badly frightened. He held tn hiss hand a smoking revolver, which he handed to the officer. He ex- plained that the revolver was lying on the counter, and not thinking it loaded, he picked it up and was toying with the trigger when the weapon was discharged. The ball took effect in Miss Fisher’s nose, shattering the bones and the base of the skuil over the eyes. The weapon was an old style Sharp’s four-barreled revolver. Miss Fisher corrob- orated young Stephens’ story. He was ar- rested, however, and given a hearing before Magistrate Martin, who’ agreed to admit the boy to bail on the evidence of a physician’s certificate that the wound was not mortal. The physician in charge refused to issue the certificate, as he feared inflammation of the brain might result. from the wound. The boy was consequently committed to await the result of the girl’s injuries. Miss Fisher was taken to her home, at No. 2825 Cam- bridge street. Indications.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch Tuesday, September 4, 1883, _ f DOUBTFUL. The Result of the Caucus of Coun- cilmen. Mayor Ewing Hopeful of Harmony—The Vot* ing on the Slate—No | Arrived at—The Seven Not Satisfied—The Six Cherish Hopes—The Municipal Muddle. The great attempt at harmony which was made in room No. 27, at Druids’*aall, yes- terday afternoon, ended ,as it began. The details of the assembling were detailed in yesterday’s Post-DISPATCH. Messrs. Stone and Parker thought that the feud could be settled, and agreed upon & caucus. They got out the invitations and saw them delivéred to every member of the Council who was in town. The invitations wee unanimously accepted, the only pve, & - sentees being Messrs. Haines and Scu one. who are at present out of the city. ya dent Parker was called to the cbair, 1n his opening remarks he disclaimed any intention of speaking for the Mayor officiaily. At the same time he produced a slate, which, he said, he believed on very & authority the Mayor would like to send to the Council. What the authority he referred to was, Mr. Parker did not mention, but a reporter who knew that Mr. Parker was in consultation with the Mayor up to the very time that the caucus met, and that Mr. Parker had to walk quickly to Druids’ Hall to get there at the hour specified, might be pardoned for guessing at the source from which the information came. THE SLATE WAS orgs, name by name, and acted upon. MY. Ziegen- hein made a suggestion that measures be taken to abide by the action of the caucus. Members of the Seven, however, who were resent, refused the ag mg stat- ng that they thought the gather- cae han is matay of «sam aad ses than in the nature 0 . the suagestion fell fiat. The ball opened with Mr. Filley’s name for assessor and col- jector of water rates. This was very quick- ly disposed of. But one gentleman present wanted Mr. Filley, and ten votes were re- corded against him. it ,.was stated, however, that Mr. Filleys name was used entirely against his own advice, and contrary to his own expressed request. Collector Stevenson, as a nominee for Health Commissioner, was received very favorably. The only thing in the way Was that several of the gentlemen pfesent expressed a desire that Stevenson be retained in his present po- sition. At the same time these object- ors stated that if Mayor Ewing would persist in nominating Stevenson forjHealth Commissioner thatjthere would be no trouble about his confirmation, Dr. Spiegelbalter’s name was also mentioned for the Health Commissionership, but the vote was against him by a large majority. When Leverett Bell’s name for City Counsellor was mentioned, the fun began. The members of the Seven present ail opposed him, and were disposed to make disagreeable remarks about the Mayor for °* s “SHAKING THIS BED RAG” before what was intended to be a-friendly reunion, where it was intended that pounds of tobaeco should be smoked up in the pipe of peace. Before the voting on_ this name had progressed very far, Mr. Scud- der made a _ little speech, which showed how the friends of the Mayor stood. Mr. Scudder said that he thought this meet- ing was to be a compromise, and that each side has to yield something to the other. As far as he could see, however, the mem- bers of tne Seven were disporting themselves with the same _ recklesspess as _ in the Council, were voting in the same way. They seemed to, want a compromise so bad, Mr. Scudder said, that ay! were willing to let the other side do all of it. Mr. Bell was, however, rejected, and then Mr. Scudder stated that he was going home. Then Mr. Temple remembered a business engage- ment, and said, if all were willing he and Mr. Scudder would pair off. | THIS PLAN was acted upon and the two ye oye skipped out. Just as they closed the door of Room No. 27, Gus Ewing’s name for Com- missioner of Supplies was read out by Presi- dent Parker. The yote progressed quietly and out of the nine men present five were found to have voted for Mr. Ewing and four against him. The gentlemen voting in the negative were all members of the seven, and one of them stated that there was no objection to Mr. Ewing, and that he could easily be confirmed if the Mayor would show a disposition to concede anything. But the seven gentlemen said that if the Mayor wanted Bell and Filley and Ewing and Tur- ner and nearly everything else, that he might be sure’ he could not get them. Here another probable row was averted by the skillful intervention, of Mr. Parker, and more names were read off. For Chief of the Fire Department, Clay Sex- ton’s name was mentioned. It was imme- diately stated that Sexton could be confirmed at any time thatthe Mayér would elect to sendin his name. It furthercame out that action on Sexton’s name had been prevented, up to this time, by Sexton himself, and that he was the unanimous choice of the whole caucus. The names of. Messrs. Stanley Waterloo and Eugene F. Weigel were both mentioned for Park Commissioner, but all action on the matter was postponed. It is. understood that the Mayor would send in another name for Park Commissioner, with the intention of having it slaughtered, that he would probably fol- » with that of Stanley Waterloo. McMath as sewer commissioner, Judge Cady for the First District Police Court, ana Mr. Fry as boiler inspector, got majority votes. Dr. Dean, as a nominee for superin- tendent of the City Hospital,and Dr. Hulbert for the Female Hospital, were both laid over. When President Parker read out Lyndon A. Smith for Street Commissioner there was much surprise, until it was stated that Smith would not accept, that he was willing to be slaughtered, and that the Mayor used his name to carry out the charter provision, so he could send back Gen. Turner’s nomination. This statement brought up a warm discus- sion about. Turner. Messrs. Stone, Cum- mings and Vastine would not have him on any consideration. Messrs. Parker, Rowse anc Scudder thought he was just the man. No vote was taken upon him because his Dame was not* on the slate as read. It soon became apparent that nothing could be done. Things were in the same shape as before. The caucus had lasted four hours and no conclusion at all had been reached. Mr. Parker began a speech in which he said that he would do anything for harmony. He deplored the fact that the wrangle had not been ended at the meeting, and con- cluded wkh a resolution to the effect that all the Councilmen resign their positions and go before the people again. . Mr. Stone seconded this resolution, and said that, as far as he could sev, it was now the last resort to end all _ this _ trouble, The resolution; however, fell flat, and at neariy 7p. m. the nine Copneilmen came gown the stairs with Mr. Zeigenhein at their head and all chatting pleasantly. -They had done nothing, but that was what mogt of them expected as the result, AT THE CITY HALL there was a diversity of opinion tn regard to the result of the Council conference yes- terday.

The slightest objection raised before aleats montine. by either side, may upset all the arrangements.

Filiey and Bell have both been shelved and I can’t say who will take their places. I see, however, that the Filley element is not overlooked. John Cordes, who is named for superintendent of the Poor House, isa Filleyinan, and I do not think he is as good as Tayon, the pres- ent superintendent.

Mr. Waterloo’s confirmation is sought for by alarge number of the most prominent eitizens, and there is an intensely friendly feeling for himin the Council. The successors to Filley and Bell on the slate are not known to the general run of politicians in and around the Hall. The following appointments have been filed with the Secretary of the Council, and will be sentinto that body to-night. For Street Commissioner, Lyndon re Says his

The Naval Cadets Testifying in the Haz- ing Court-Marti ANNAPOLIS, Mp., September 4—The na- yal court-martial resumed this morning the trial of Cadet E. P. Bentholf. Naval Cadet Henry C. Rodgers, of the: fourth class testified: “Accused required me on or about the 30th of July to turn out of my hammock and stand on my head. I donot know his pres- ence intimidated me but I expect it did.” Naval Cadet George W. Galloway, of the fourth class testified : “The accused never required me to turn out of my hammock on _ the 30th of .July after 9 Oe and stand on me head. He was present. I wasin my night shirt and drawers. The presence of the accused did not intimidate me. Idid not regard the accused as forming one of the party of hazers. I turned out of my hammock because Trapneli ordered me: To the Court—If I had been ordered to turn out of my hammock in’ a similar manner by one of my class- mates 1 would not have done it. regard Bentholf as not being one of the hazers because he had nothing to say about my turning out. I know of no reason why the accused was present at the particular hazing except as a witness. Naval Cadet E. Furrell of the fourth class testified that he did not think the accused made him ~ stand = on 1is head for the purpose of maxing him expose his person. esaw no reason to object to standing on his head. He was not intimi- dated. The order was not given ima per- emptory inanner. He was obliged to do it, but it was a matter of fun. We were all laughing. It would have depended upon circumstances whether or not he would have stood upon his head for amuse- ment and for one of his own. class. Question by the president—Under all the circumstances of that hazing of that night would yeu have turned out and attempted to have stood on your head atthe order of one or more of your class-mates ? The question-was evidently a trying one to witness. He answered after some effort. There had been considerabie skylarking that night among the _ classes not intermixing, and can uot say whether I- would or not have turned out and stood on my head at the or- der o1 one of my classmates. I did not then regard the watter as hazing, buta mere con- tinuation of the fun. Naval Cadet Fred G. same. He regarded the presence of the ac- cused as a wituess to the transaction.

THE LABOR COMMITTEE. Testimony of a Ship Builder—Ne Use for frades Unions. New YorK, September 4.—The Senate Sub-Committee on Labor and Education contiphed its session to-day. John Roach, . ship-builder, testified that he employed about | 5.000 men, who represented about twenty- five different branches. The witness began work at twelve shillings a week, but at that time wages were very low. Since that time the wages of the workingman had gradually improved and the hours of labor had bcen reduced. Hethought there was no reason why every industrious workmar should not own his own home, and believed the Govern- ment -was bound to legislate in the interest of the workingmen. ‘The pay-roll of his bus- iness last year Was $57,000, and he had men in his employ who first started witn him in business. Now they own their own houses. The witness said that labor must co-operate with capital. It would never do for labor to combine by itself and become the DEADLY FOE OF CAPITAL. The sooner workingmen were educated to the standard from which they could realize the force of the maxim that “a man who cannot make cannot own,” the better it would be for the laborer as_ well as for the nation. Over fitty of his men were employed by him in former years in the same workshop. Frequently the men in his employ caime to himand said they wanted tv get $10 to send to some relative in Ireland, and asked him to deduct so much g week from their wages. He always obliged/ them. The witness remarked that there are mil- lions of dollars anuually sent out of this country which should be invested here, but which were sent to maintain landiordism in Ireland. A Change of Management. Utica, N. Y., September 4.—The Utica Observer today announces the retirement of ex-Mayor Dewitt C.

No aft4tnoon session of the Merchants’ Ex- change will be held until September 10. The stock of lard at the six principal Conti- nental ports on September 1, was as follows: Ham- burg, 10,000: Bremen, 7,000; Stettin, 6,000; Ant- werp, 5,000; Havre, 7,000; total 35,000 tierces, This is an increase of 3,500 tierces since the 1st‘of August, and Is 15,700 tierces larger than Septem- ber 1, 1882. For the month of August, 1882, the stock of lard decreased 3,200 tierces.——Henry T- Kneeland & Co., of New York, write Grier Bros. regarding the wheat supply and world’s require- ments for 1883-’84 as follows: “The importations of wheat into England in forty-nine weeks have been 155,000,000 busbels (wheat and flour), resulting in immense stocks and low prices. Basing calcul- ations upon these enormous stocks, we place re- quirements on present estimates of crops as fol- lows: United Kindom, 130,000,000 and possibly 145,000,000 bushels; France, 65.000,000 and possibly 80,000,000; Italy, 20,000,000 and possibly 40,000,000; Belgium, 20,000,000; Holland, 10,000.000; Denmark, 4,000,000: Sweden, 1,000,000; Germany, 15,000,000; Switzerland, 10,000,000; Portugal and Spain, 6,000,- 000 ;| Mediterranean islands,10,000,000 ; total 291 ,000,- 000 and possibly 341,000,000 bushels. Estimating the availiable surplus of the exporting countries also on basis of present stocks, and in the view that at the current prices consumption will be very large, and that what was in the country July 1 last is but a fair stock for America at all times, and such reserves are not trenched upon at low prices: United States anda Canadas, 120,000,000 bu; Russia, 50,000,000 bu; India, 40,000,000 bu ; Austro- ungary (Danube), 15,000,000 bu: Turkey, 2,000,000 bu ; Chill, 6,000,000 bu: Australia, 6,000,000 bu: Egypt, 1,000.- 000 bu; total, 240,000,000 bu. It would seem neces- sary to be economical in use of wheat, with short rye crop.’”——-The exports from the four leading Atlantic ports from January to August 25, 1883, were 50.130.669 bu wheat and flour, 35,772,365 bu corn, 2,804,493 bu rye; for same time last year, 46.525,604 bu wheat and flour, 10,307,263 bu corn and 1,222,119 bu rye. For these articles, this year so far 30,700,000 bu ahead of last year for same time.——A letter dated August 22, from Onier Grandjean, of Paris, France, to R. 8. McCormick & Co., says: “During the first half of the month we have ae spurtio prices owing to unset- tled weather retarding the ingaibering of the crops, The delay occurring at suci: a critical period made people fear that we might havea repetition of the weather of August of last year, All fears on this head are now dissipated. So far _ fas England is concerned the aggregate of the reports show that the harvest is likely to be better than for seyeral years past; this is especially as regards quality, for the acreage devoted to wheatis 12% percent below that of last year. The hot, dry weather of the last few days has enablea farmers to make good progress in garnering their crops in gvoa condition, and the same may be said of the crops in this country. Here, moreover, we have to contend with the drawback of a large stock of old wheat remaining unsold and offered more or 4 less pressingly for sale atthe weekly markets. Moreover, as you are doubtiess aware, England has, during the twelve months terminating 15th of August, imported some 20,000,000 quarters wheat and flour, a quantity largely in excess of preceding years. Owing to tie deficient system of statistics in Englaud jt would be impossible to say What bas become of all this stuff, but it is fair to presume that a not inconsideradle por- tion of it remains unconsumed and will be offered to consumers in competition with 1883 grain. There is, moreover, another cir- cumstance that must not be lost sight of in esti- inating the probable course of markets during the next few mouths, viz., the excellent crops of barley, potatoes, oats and hay, all of which prom- ise to be cheap ana abundant with us this season. Under these circumstances, wiiile fully recogniz- i. g the fact of Ameriea’s dimiyished exporting capacity this year, I incline to the belief that your markets will somewhat follow the European lead and that as your farmers come to recognize Europe’s diminished requiremeuts they will re- duce their exigencies 1u accordance with prices ruling on this side of the water.” Late advices from Cherryvale, Kan., report that farmeis are marketing hew corn. A car of new corn is promised this market on or before September 15.—— After a prolonged silence, Draper of Cnicago, made himself once more heard by firing in a telegram to Gen. Dausman, that he couldn't see anything in the Chicago mar- ket to stop wheat from going to 90 cents.—New York’s stock of lard September 1, was 22,504 tcs, against 39,218 tcs one month ayo and 28,284 a year ago. Stock of porkin New York, September 1 w 3 16,480 bris., against 15,384 bris. a month ago, and 20,697 bris one year ago.—-T he visible supply of wheat at next report it is said will be 25,000,000 bu.——Parties just returned from Kansas and Nebraska say that those States are still full of old corn. The farmers in anticipaiiongjof the largest crop they have ever raised, are rushing their old corn to market as fast as possible. Only for ascarcity of rolling stock interfering with shipmeuts, it is believed the movemeut of corn to the Western markets would far exceed tne al- ready heavy amount now arriving. Wheat—Futures were off again to-day, and for most of the session weakness had full sway. This weakness extended to all the markets of this country, about all advices reporting depression and a sentra lecling as prominent. ceipts were again large in all the markets, and was the chief eause for the depression that prevailed. encouragement was heid out by European markets, as cables reported dull mar- kets, without even the steadiness that distin- guished it yesterday. New York reported little or po extra demand, and none of tne other. mar- kets could show any European buying of wheat to amount to anything. The local crowd of bears were in high featner and the pounain of the market by free selling, and the bear tal they indulged in, were considerable aids to forcing the deciine. The market opened about % off and then recovered some, but did not hold this strength, very soon prices turn- ing and runniug down rapidly, and through there was a moderate reaction later, yet the market be- very weak after the noon call and the close was at lowest points reached, showing declines of 1@1%e from yesterday’s close. Corn _ rec severely from the same depression that afflict: Wheat and corn weaker. October wheat of- fered at $1 04% and year corn at 49%. Chicago weaker; October wheat 98%; November $1 005%; October, the continued heavy receipts from the country, the magnificent weather and prospects for the crop more than Offsetiiug any present or prospective export demand and bringing seliets out. The strength shown by cash rather tended to check September and October from declinin much, but of all other options there were free se] ers that caused them to weaken off quit- largely. At the close September was 1,¢ October 5c, November %@1¢c, year %c and May %4.@%,c beiow yesterday’s close. Oats were affect- ed by the general weakness that prevailed and declined, something of a pressure shown to sell, especially of May, having @ depressing effect. Latter option closed 5gc lower but the others were sustained by the advance in cash and at close were but slightly off in value. Cash wheat was lower and weak, but the demand was active for shipment and fair for milling. besides the short buying of No. 2red. Cash No. 2 mixed corn opened lower, but stiffened up under an active shipping demand; otner grades scarce and very quiet. Cash oats advanced and were in good order demand. WHEAT. No.2red. Opening.

The cotton market in allits branches was very steady, with an upward tendency to futures, which resulted in quite a substantial advance at the close. Trading in both spots and fu- tures was fair only. Spots at all the most important markets were generally un changed and steady, Liverpool reporting a mod- erate demand, which was freely supplied, New York sales amounting to over 1,000 bales, and New Orleans 2,05v, while transfers in the home market were close on to 206 bales.

The demand was not particularly active from any class of buyers and there was a decided- ly weak feeling predominating, Of really good cattle of any kind the supply was unusually scarce ang of natives especially the offering were nil.” A very fair inquiry was had for these and the mar- ket may be considerea about steady. Cowg and mixed cattle were alsoin smail supply but stili amply sufficient to meet all reguire- ments. The grass cattle market was weak and very’ slow. Fresh arrivals could hardly be termed large, but ineluding what remained over from the day previous there was mcre than was wanted to judge from thé ap- parent indifference of buyers, and salesmen found extreme difficulty in selling at a reduction of 5 to 10c, which took place yesterday, Duyers holding back and endeavoring to their utmost to get fur- ther reductions. It was a very fortunate thing the reeeipts were 60 small, as it enabled salesmen to hold out with more chance of success than would have been the case had the supply been larger. As it was the trade up to 10 a. m. was local alone takin feeling very weak and the market generally worse as rej gards trading than on the day before, RULING QUOTATIONS.

The job, it is thought, will be completed this week. i WoOL-PICKING will probably be added to the industries of the city Work House. Something should be done soon to bring the institution up to a self-sustaining point. 7 aaae€, Wer are listening for the echo of Gov. CRITTENDEN’s horn which is to call the Legislature together in special session for the purpose of disciplining the City of St. Louis. THE name-of Fifth street should never have been changed to Broadway, but the merchants are beginning to get used to the new arrangement, and it is probably too late now to make another shift. iene Ir is announced now that SLADE and MITCHELL will proceed to maul each other on the 11th instant, according to the termsof their contract, near Omaha. If they are wise they will do their slugging in Mexico. ——————— IF the point of etiquette raised at the fun- eral of the dead French Pretender will re- sult in a Kilkenny cat fight between the fools who represent the line branches of the House of Bourbon, civilization will be a large gain- er by the old gentleman’s death. ~ — - -——-— Yevuow fever is making itself severly felt at Pensacola, Fla. Dr. Bosso, a gentle- man whoinvented a vellow fever specific last year, and secured for it first-class test»- monia!s, is numbered with the dead. The physician forgot to cure himself. THERE is a disposition on the part of the Council conspirators, we are pleased to ob- serve, to treat the Mayor with a@little cour-, tesv. The Council meeting to-night will demonstrate whether there is sincerity in the overtures made for a compromise. — ——_ eee Ex-Gov. HENDRICKS has returned to In- diana from Saratoga. The waters materially benefited the necrosis of the dorsal artery, which caused the recent serious exfoliation of the upper surface of the metatarsal bone of his third toe, bit it is doubtful whether his political chances were improved. GEN. JOE SHELBY has a fine opportunity now to do a little ear-slitting before he starts after the offending editors of the State. Dick LippELL has published a card at Gallatin which reflects severely on the yeneral’s character, and it will réquire the greatest stretch of the General’s magnanim- ity to save those ears. WE would like to propound a query to the editor of the Sedalia Democrat. If Gov. PHELPS is reélected to the offic@of Chief Executive of the State will he use his in- fluence to smoothe the antagonism between the merchants of Sedalia and the merchants of St. Louis? We would like to know before we commit the Post-DIsPpaTcu. It is to be hoped that the scheme to open the grave of SUAKSPEARE and measure the skull of the great poet will not be carried out. If it should appear that Wriiu1am’s head was smaller than it has generally been represented to be by the accommodating sculptors, the little fussy men who wear number six hats would put on airs and there would be no comfort in the world duritig the present century. ate ene ens meee ame JupGE HoAnp.y has arrived in Philadel- phia and has placed himself in the charge of his favorite physician. He is suffering from nervous prostration and needs rest, the med- icine man Says. As arule, a political cam- paign in @hio is too excitimg for a man with a large cerebral development and nerves which are easily exacerbated. It takes a man of the Foraker pattern—good stomach, no nerves and little or no brains—to stand the Ohio racket. ss -_-— ee a + eee Mr. SHAPIRA, who is anxious to confer a new version of Deuteronomy on the world, for and in consideration of one million pounds sterling, is said to be quite vexed at the announcement that his work is a forgery. He declares the experts who have reported upon the manuscript have interpolated clumsy forgeries of their own in the work in order to throw diseredit upon him. In this he is much less polite than the experts, who say that Mr. SHarina’s forgery is of the most finished and brilliant character. Tue Sedalia Democrat has recently e@x- pressed the opinion that -Sedaliana are in- clined to trade with Chicago rather than St. Louis, because Chicago is more polite and social in Its treatment of them than St. Louis ds, Chicago drummers doubtless do their best when they land in Sedalia. But in throwing mud at everything in Missouri, the Chieago papers have not as yet begun to | ‘make an exception in favor of Sedalia.

To prosecute a successful war against such a populous Empire as China on | her own distant frontier, must tax the re- sources and put a perilous strain on the in- ternational relations of France. European influence is plainly visible behind this hos- tile movement on the partof China. With armies trained by European officers and armed with modern weapons she can defend her territory from the rapacity of any single Christian power. With moral support and encouragement from the Central European Treibund, she can make it very warm for France in Anam and the complications grow- ing out of such a war must tend to develop the scope and purpose of the Treibund as a combination against an alleged understand- ing between France and Russia. If the Treibundis a defense of Europe against France on the one hand and Russia on the otner, against NAPOLEON’s prediction that the destiny of Europe was to be all Repubii- can or all Cossack, it will naturally sustain China asa breakwater against an extension of French and Russian influence in the East. In doing this there will be opportunities for any amount of international chafing, and if among them they inoculate the countless hordes of the Orient with European militar- ism, a new and most formidable factor will be introduced into the problems of political geography and international law. It is about time for the overcrowded Asiatic hive to send out new swarms, and with European arts and appliancés to aid them they will go | and stay where they please. SHELBY AND HIS MEN. Not even the GuITEAU trial was more closely watched by the people of the whole country than the FRANK JAMES trial at Gallatin, and, mortifying as they may be,we capnot well parry the cutting reflections on our State that are mingled with the ava- lanche of press comments on the sensational scenes in which Gen. SHELBY figured during the trial. -But some of the newspapers, in- stead of confining themselves to just cen- sures before which we must be dumb, make their commerfts utterly contemptible by such wanton slanders as the following, which we find in the Chicago News: This Shelby was. during the war, the leader of an organized band of horse-thieves, a gang of night-prowling bandits, whonever knew what legitimate warfare was, and Whose most gallant charges were made upon unguarded stables and | chicken coops. Witen such men ‘possess the re- spect and confidence of a large number ef the peopie” of a State it is decidedly pad for the State. This is the old stereotyped statement of the Chicago papers about all the rebel caval- ry commands, ASnBY’s, FORREST’s, WHEEL- ER’s, MORGAN’S and SHELBY’s, and is in- excusably false when applied to either of them. There was no cavalry command on either side during the war that won among the soldiers of both armies a higher reputation for courage and dash in battle, or for genuine hard service throughout the war, than SHELBY’s. His men generally are to- day leading as honorable and useful lives as any survivors of the war. There was no command that did not include some robbers and thieves, and while a few of that de- scription were at times attached to SHeLby, itis to be said evenof them that they became the most daring, successful and famous out- laws this continent ever produced. As for the romantic sentiment which im- pels Gen. SHELBY to defy public opinion in his efforts to befriend one of his old troopers, it is ag much out of place in our civilization as the tie which bound the Scottish Chief and his clansman to stand for earch other against all the world, through good and evil report. But when two distinguished Union soldiers—-one an ex-Congressman, now hold- ing a high judicial position, and the other a former Lieutenant-Governor—undertake the defense of FRANK JAMES, either with or without a fee, it is natural that Gen. SHELBY should make himself somewhat conspicuous on the same side. — " ————_————————SS THE SCLAVONIC SCOTT. IvAN TOURGENEFF, the great Russian novelist, has died at Bougival, France. Sprung of a literary stock, he added a luster to a name already well known to Sclay literature. ALEXEI TOURGENEFF in 1841 published the great Historie Russie Monumenta, the standard history of Russia. NIKOLAI TOURGENEFF wrote La Russie et les Russes, and died in exile. IvAN was born in 1818, educated at Moscow. St. Peters- burg and Berlin. He rose to high office in the State, being Minister of the Interior for a time, was exiled for his liberal opinions, and lived afterwards in Paris and Germany. Russian literature is said to begin with Perer the Great, but Ivan TOURGENEFF is the only figure that stands oujgrom the canvas, the only man whose fame is cosmopolitan. Few but dillitanti know the name of Nik- OLAS KERAMZIN, or even of ALEXANDER PusHKIN, the Russ Bykon; GoGo. and HERZEN aregequally unknown, and those | who have heard of the latter only know him asa politician and not as an author. TouRGE- NEFF struck anew chord in the Russian classics. Even those produced in this country are very foul. They have all the tmpurity of Kan- ELAIS, with but little of his intellect. TOURGENEFF was a poet, with a poet’s fincness. ‘The grossness of his race finds no expression in his works, which have Been translated into every tongue. His fame be-jeffect a. lodgment in gan with his first novel, “Andre Kolosof,” which was followed rapidly by “4 Sports- man’sNotes’ and “Dvoryanskoe Gnyezdo,” which we know as “Liza,” “Smoke,” “Spring Flood,” “On the Eve;”’ and numer- ous hovelettes, such as “Faust” and “Maurvoo.” His works have a quaint Old World flavor which is one of their chief charms outside of their high literary excellence and their broad human sympathy. The eminence which TouRGENEFF won makes his loss one to be deplored for Russia, who has no shoulders upon whom his mantle may fall. No son of his blood has been left to bear his name, and the romance of his love is characteristic of the man. ._He and the musician GarcrA, his friend, both fell in love with the ladv known best to Europe as Madam Vrarpor-Garcra. The lady de- cided for GarcrA, and TouRGENEFF lived in the House with him as a brother. He never forgot his love, and he never forgot his friehd, and thelives of the three were an idyll of affection.and of purity. —_ — Mr. CumMINGs, the professional Reformer now inthe Council, kindly lays all the blame of the prolonged and disgraceful contest which has for five months fairly paralyzed the city government, upon the Mayor. He was told at the outset, Mr. CUMMINGS says, that certain of. his proposed appointments would not be confirmed. But he persisted, and thereupon Mr. CUMMINGS entered into a solemn compact with six other members of the Council to vote against every name sentin by the Mayor, utterly regardless of the merits of men. What right nad Mr. CuMMINGS to dictate to the Mayor? What right had a junta of the City Council to enter into a conspiracy to force the Mayor to appoint certain gentlemen to office? It is the duty of members of the Council to vote upon the nominations sent to them by the Mayor with an eye single to the public inter- est. Mr. CUMMINGS cannot shift the re- sponsibility for his disgraceful wrangle upon the Mayor. It was brought about by the de- sire of seven members of the Council to place their personal friends in office, and the Mayor very properly resisted the attempt to de- prive him of the patronage guaranteed to him by theCharter. If a majority of the United States Senate should band together to force the President to make certain nominations— refusing to transact public business until the Executive yielded to their desires—the whole country would rise and protest. The entire city of St. Louis condemns the action of the so-called Solid Seven, and it isn’t worth while for Mr. CUMMINGS to attempt to dodge the obloquy to which himself and his fellow conspirators are condemned. Pror. RicHarp A. Procror, the distin- guished English astronomer, having lectured all over this country and spent enough time on the turbid Missouri to woo and weda wife at St. Joseph, is now instructing the readers of Longman’s Magazine in the princi- ples of poker. Analyzing this highly emo- tional game in acold-bioq@ged and mathe- matical manner, he reaches the following results: Total number of.poker hands, 2,598,- 960 ; flush sequences, 40; fours 624; full hands, 3,744; common flushes, 5,108: common se- quences, 10,200; triplets, 54,912; two pair hands, 123,552; one pair hands, 1,098,240: other hands, 1,302,540. Up to this point the Profes- sor’sanathematical process works admirably. But when he tackles the mystic charm of the game, whereby the stakes are often awarded to the weaker rather than to the stronger hand, he finds mathematics at fault, and rec- ommends intoxication as the best pilot through the hidden rocks and breakers of ‘‘bluffing.”” Asamoral man, however, the Professor would have bluffing omitted as equivalent to expert lying and requiring the aid of strong potations. With these feat- ures expurgated the game would be more pleasing to the mathematical mind, but it would lose its chief fascination for the boys. —~ oo ee, Se infested by would-be-vocahsts, and we ot may Work. — to add ~~ in favor 2 at - Hipm ang street, No. boasts a plen ply of these disturbers o en eas g individuals, and every night, commencing at § o’clock and lasting until 1 or 2 in the morning, we have 4 ser- ies of the most hideous noises ever heard at a dog fight.

The Court says; “in this pro- ceeding, under afticie 6, chapter 21, R. 8. 1879, concerning jhe appropriation and valuation of lands for railroad purposes,the Court appointed three comimissivnefs, the majority of whom, on the 22d of August, filed with the Clerk their re- port awarding to defendant, the Evens and How- ard Fire Brick Company, $50,000,anU the Missouri Fire Brick and Clay Company $25,900 as the dam- ages, which, in the opinion of the commissioners, these defendants would severally sustain by the proposed appropriation by plaintiff of their prop- erty. On August 27 notice of the filing of this re- port was given defendants. On August 30 the Railway Company DEPOSITED WITH THE CLERK $75,900, accompanying the same witha writien declara- tion that this mohey should be retained by tne clerk until this cause is finally disposed of, and that defendants would not be entitled to it until flnal judgment is rendered in their favor, and from whichthe plainuff takes no appeal. Upon the same day the plaintiff filed exceptions to the report of the commissioners, praying that the said report miiy be set aside nnd that a new ap- praisement may be ordered, with the intervention of a jury. These exceptions have not yet bese heard, No exce)- tions have been filed by the defendanis but the defendant, the Missouri Fire Brick aud Clay Company, has filed a motion for arule with the clerk of the jeourt to pay over to it forthwith the $25,900 hereinbefore mentioned as having been awarded to it by the commissioners. This mo- tion has been argued and submitted tor decision. * * ¢ THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT that the acceptance of this by the owner of the compensation awarded by Commissiouers in tle first instance and unconditionally = paid to the clerk for the ,benefit ot such owner, will consummate tbe pro- ceedings of appropriation. The proceedings in respect of the appropriation part thereof wil! also be held complete aud the company entitied tu the possession of the land when payment un- conditionally for the benefit of the owuer of the amount awarded by the eommissioners has been made to the clerk so thal the owner las it j» his power atany timeto accept the amount o@such award and will, in any event, be entitled to the same, togetber with such further compensation as upon a new appraisement he may establish. Iu such cases the unconditional payment to the clerk for the owner is held an equivalent entitling the conipany to take possession of the land, and is a compHance with that article of the constitu tion of the State whien deelares that “private property shali not be taken or damaged for pub- c use WITHOUT JUST COMPENSATION,” “and until the same shall be vaid to Lhe owner or into court for the owner of the property shall not be disturbed or the proprietary rights of the owner therein divesied.”’ ltis insisted by defendant that the deposit made by plaintiff iu the case at bar must be re- garded as an unconditional payment tor defend- a ts,andthat by bringing this money to the clerk the company must be held to Imive accepted the award of the commissioners. But the statute distinctly gives the company the right to except to the award of the commissioners and entitles the company to a new appraisément if the exceptions are well founded. The money deposited by plaintiff in the case at bar cannot be regarded us a payment for defena- ant witbin the meaniuy of tle statute, because the deposit was made with the direct assertion by plaintiff that defendants should not be entitled to this money until final judgment is rendered in this cause from which there sball be no appea: by plaintiff. THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE of 1820 provided in section 7, article 13, “that no private property oughtto be taken or applied to public use without jist compensation.” rit did not contain the declaration of our present Constitution, that until such compensation shai be paid to the owner 6Y into court for him the ‘hy ooh skhonid not be disturbed or the propric- ary Tights of the owner therein divested. Tlie Supreme Cour:, construing the Constitution of 1820, held that “part compensation’ meant ao equivalent to be paid the party for the property propysed to be .takeu, pot the proinise ol one. It has also been held that the ac- ceptance by a court of a bond for the miyment of the award is unauthorized. t would seem as ii the language of the present Coustitution was intended to remove all doubts as to the meaning of the words “just compensativt , ’ by requiring payiment in moiey either to the owner or into court for the owner before the righis of the corporation to the property can be- come vested. THE DEPOSIT MADF BY PLAINTIFF in the case at bar can be regarded only as a de- posit to secure to defendant the .promise of com- pensation when ah award = satisfactory to plaintiff, or as te wiieh it shail have exhausted its right of appeal, shall have been made. If such deposit can now be heid to yest iu plaintiff the defendant’s property, thema like de- posit of a sufficient sum at the inception of these proceedings, and before any award made. if authorized by legislative act, would sustain a similar claim. Il donot think that such legis!a- tive act would be valid, vécause the deposit by way of security would not be held to be an equir- alent for defendant's property withiu the mieab ing of THE PRESENT CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE, In like manner so much of the statuié as is now invoked by the plaintiff as authority for its claim that By the deposit here made it has acquired ue- fendant’s property must be held invalid. For the reason, therelore, that plaintiff has not as yet, by the deposit as made, acquired title to defendants property the motion tor a rule on the clerk to pay over this deposit inust ve overruled.”’ At the couclusion of the readiug of the decis ion Col. . Dyer, on the part of the Evens & Howard Fire Brick Company and Jacob Kiéin for the Missouri Fire Brick and Ciay Cor- ny, asked for an order to restrain the piaivufl rom proceeding with the construction of its real and taking possession of the property for tat purpose uutil they made unconditional paymeut of the damage awarded.

Two Little Girls Locked Up in a Mill Attic and the Building Fired—A Brave Young Man to the Rescue—A Novel Fire Escape. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. BUFFALO, September s.—Mr. Dallas Craw- ford of Wesleyville recently drove a gang of tramps from his premises. One of them lurked around several days waiting for re- venge. Saturday be saw Crawford’s two little daughters enter the mill, on the upper floor of which a play-room had been parti- tioned off for them. Following them, he fastened the door while they were pigying with their toys, and then, descending to the basement, he piled heaps of inflammable material at several points and set them on fire. Soon the lower portion of the mill was enveloped in flames, Ingres# and egress were alike cut off, and the girls seemed doomed to die the most agonizing of deaths. They crawled through a hole upon the roof, but were afraid to jump, as the distance was thirty-five feet and the ground thickly dotted with jagged bowiders. No ladders were available, nor could they be used even ifathand. The father and other spectators turned away sickened, momentarily expect- ing to see the rafters yield and the children disappear in the roaring flames. A DELIVERER APPEARED in the person of Alfred K. Bonnel, a young farmer, carrying a coil of rope, to which he fastened a strong iron hook, and, hastily strapping the climbing irons to his legs, he ascended a tall oak tree near the mill, and in amoment stood on a limb high over the children. The young nan threw his rope, and so precise was the aim that the hook caught in the smaller girl’s dress. ‘ Drawing the cord, hand-over-haiud, she swung clear and was lowered safely into her father’s arms. Thecrowd watched Bonnell with in- tense interest as he cast bis hook a second tine. His arm and eye were true, and the remaiving girl hung suspended in the air, her clothing catching fire as she left the perilous place, but she was saved. a When Bonnell regained the earth he sank own OVERPOWERED BY INTENSE EXCITEMENT, and was carried away not a second tuo svon for the safety of himself and friends. The boiler, surrounded by a mass of glowing coals, exploded, and the detonation was heard for ihiles. Fragments of iron plates, red hot machines and flaining timbers were huried hundreds of feet, though fortunately not a man was injured by the terrible shower. The incendiary tramp flied from the scene of his devilish deed on a stolen horse, and escaped the vengeance of the furious farmers. THE LOUNGER, I HAVEN’T much of anidea of what a real, genuine old Puritan Sunday looked /ike. Of course 1 imagine it was something terri- ble, and until the Downing law went into effect and people began applying the Croin- wellian epithet to the Sabbaths of the last and present months, my mind pictured it as a day of monotonous quiet and oppressive religious meditation. Now I am free to con- fess that if there is anything Puritanical about the Sundays we are having they are widely different from the Puritan Sabbaths I have read _ about. In a stroll around and through the town last Sunday I noted several little things going on that would have made the hair of any of the Pilgrim fathers turn gray on the instant with fright: It wouid be iw- possible to enumerate all that I saw, mani- jesting on the part of young and old alike a general underspread teudency to forsake the church for Gambrinus, and to forget the altar in their fanatic zeal to yield what they thought was a tribute they owe@at the s@ine of personal enjoywent. Ina saloon on Biddie street my inquiring eyes tell upon a party of over thirty youths sitting at card tables or cavurting around pool-tabies,swear- ing like men with beardsand drinking in- tuxioants of all kinds with the reiish of the trembling tramp who drains kegs and sips his refuse nectar from the ragged edge of an oyster can. ‘This saloon was on offe curner. ‘iwo other corners each have a_ liquid decoration in the way of a ar- and these held young men also engaged in handling playing-cards, pushing poui-vatis and emptying beer-glasses. The usual number of five-cent-cigar-smoking loafers fringed the pavements, and a bivock away, on Sixth street, was a church with services going on, and none but venerable men, plous woman and nodding young girls or listless children making up the sparse congregation. . a*~s On Broadway—the old Broadway I mean ~from Biddie to Cass avenue, [saw several saloons in the same flourishing condition and with the same abundant youthful patronage. Not only here butin other parts of the city were boys beginning drunken careers and learning to gamble, heediess of the church bejis ringing out for them in _ the Sabbath sunshine or the choral voices that floated out through the stained windows of chapels in hymns of prajse to the great giver of this supposed day of rest. Oue place in particular | found that deserves special attention. It is on Fi.th street, neat Franklin avenue,andis a doubie- barreled device of the devil’s fur securing his prey, inasmuch as it combines all the ad- vantages ofa pool-playing drinking-shop on the grvund floor, aud bas gambiing rooms for men and boys in the second story. ‘The lower purtion of the house was thronged,and glasses rattled in lively music along the counter. Ivory balls were clicking on three or four tables, around which moved coatiess young clerks of smooth face or embryo me- chanics still away this side of maturity. A dumb waiter in one part of the room kept oing up and com- ing down with incessant banging and every upward trip carried dozeus of foatning giasses of lager. A visit to the sec- ond story revealed the secrets of that place. ‘There were poker rooms filled with youths, and something in the appearance of the place suggested the probability that games of an- other kind, more carefully looked after by the law, were tolerated here. A great deal oi money in small amounts kept changing hands, and the pvlice passed and repassed the open doors ‘uf this establishment, heed- less of the crime that was flourishing there. The mere contemplation of these sights was alone sufficient to en “ one with the so-called efforts of legislators and the lucal authorities to reéstablish the sauctity of the Sabbath. § I was told by an olkgervant citizen that of all the boys in tha? neighborhood who jeave their homes well-dressed and with bright faces,on Sunday not more than one in twenty thinks of attending church services of any kind, and the other nineteen seek spiritual and other consolation in the wide- open bar-rooms. Profanity and obscenity garnish their speech, and hoodiumism as- serts itself in every word and act. Which reminds me, too, that along Franklin avenue on Sunday night, from Fourth street to Jel- ferson avenue, I saw not only boys but giris from 12 tu 15 years old, and even younger than 12, ‘standing with ti ht-pantalooned loafers, in the shadows of saloon dovrs, These are the growing female hoodlums, | A clk alkali San AOE ie a i A A. | whom the police say they are powerless to ero ‘oo St. Louis Post-Bispatch, Cuesday, September 4, 1883, suppress. They are worse than their mate companions, and almost as numerous. Pass along the avenue any night and you can count them by the score. = os AFTER having made myself familiar with the down-town Sunday of these alleged Puritan times I took a walk out west. By way of giving variety to my investigations I spent, some time in watching the whirling dust-clouds that swept along Grand avenue, amid the rush of vehicies and the rattle of street-cars. The rolling atomic aceumula- tions were thick enough to cast shaduws. Biack clothes were quickly hidden beneath the white deposit, and men and woimen as they rode by in buggies and barouches were so thoroughly coa with the subtle Jime- stone powder that they reminded me of suv many dusty willers just emerging from the snowy atmosphere of their places of busi- ness. Opposite St, Theresa’s Church I found a stretch of dust upon the street fuliy seven inches thick, and in front of the . Basr-ball ark the depth vafied from two tw six uches. The whole drive was dry, nota particle of water was discernible anywhere; the houses were jayered with dust, and it filled the Seg and flew in fanciful clouds wherever the direction of the wind took it. At the Fair Grounds there was less of it and it was a relief to get away fromjthe blanclii g articles and find one’s self upon, the green awnsin the neighborhvod of the monkey huuse. «*s I went to the Fair Grounds for the pur- pose of seeing the Teuton in the full enjoy- went of his Sabbath. The Inuependent Treubundes were holding a picnic and fully 10,000 people were within the en- closure. The sight was @leasant to the eye and gratifying to the heart. Here the spirit of rest and recreation mani- fested itself. There was modest, innvcent pleasure onall sides. Music filled the air Irom the brazen thrvats of several bands, and fleshy thrvats yieided their harmonic treasures in patriotic choruses that sent the blood bounding through the veins. ‘There was beer-drinking, of course, but l saw no- body drunk. Fawilies satin circles on the grass, or took their piaces at the long tables; the baskets of lunch were vpened, g asses o lager were sipped, and all, from the yellow- haired babe in arms to the gross-father, seemed d- lighted with the surroundings. Sunday is the German’s holiday, and he en- joys it. Huwdifferent the picture presented er: and that seen in the sa- loons and boys’ gambiing rooms down town. One was happy conteut; the othercrying crime. ‘The arm of the law could be well spared at one pla’; all its energy and strength were required at the other. ; * Ir you want fto @ee a picturesque portion of the city, visit Kerry Paich. Nature is still allowed to run wild there, in many parts; the horses and cows poke their heads into the vpen dours of the shanties; the pigs grunt and root under the sitting-room floors, and these is primitive innocence in al! the improvemehts to be found on the squat- ter’s property.) Goata nibble through quar- ries, and chickens pick up a livelihood iu the barn-yards ami alung the dusty streets. Il was througha very rugged and rumantic portion of it Suuday, and was astonished to para that so many families were living there in a state that bueiders on absolute wretchedness, packed in sinali wid- biowa shauties aud sihaiing litte strips of land with thequeer variety of stock they keep on hand. Qn LBighteenth street, be- tween O'Fallon and Cass avenue, a fair giimpse may be nad of the whuile of Kerry. Numbers of shanties line the street—tiuy whitewashed sheds with dilapidated doors, stove-pipe chimneys and windows that slide from one side te the other. Men and women cheaply dressed sat in the shadows of their homely dwellings, and children, whose name in that vicinity is legi.n, romped in the yards or in the street looking as black, dirty and undressed as aay children could be. Lhe citizen Whe is as yet unacquainied with ker- ry Patch should take in this Eigh.eeuth street show and see Whaj the whole district looks like. * e” «* ; SomEBODY—I don’t know whom—taking advantage of the natural proneness of people to loiter around any place where exiteusive work is going on, particularly in the line of excavations, has put a frail fence up in front of the cellar now being dug adjacent to the Famous Building on Fifth street, and smeared the top beards thickly with wagou grewse, the idea being either to preserve the fence or to wilfully play a cruel and costiy practical joke upon leisurely citizens who may be tempted to iean over the weak § barrier for the purpose of péeping into the yawn- ing depths below. Whuever provided the grease and plastered it on the boards deserves the biood curdling execrations that are wafied at them by inapy an uufortunate who has his clothes spoiled, se trick is & mean, con- temptible and cowardly one, and it is aston- ishing that the police tolerate it. Thousands of peuple pass the spot daily and nightly and many linger long enougii to learn that an ex- ternal application of .wagen grease to the outer garmentsis more potent than a mustard laster in stirring up the feelings aud caus- ng a volcanie eruption of buining words from the heaving depths of the victim’s heart, It isa wonder to me that the fence has not been puiled duwn long ago. ” * THE man who crvsses his knees in a street car and swings the leathery ends of. his legs out into the wmuid- die of the aisle is a nuisance ten times bigger than is a base-ball expert in tha midst ofa great and innocent crowd ora ward- bummer in search of a $75-a-mounth job. He unhesjtatingly uses every body within reach of his ample pedals fora door-mat, and keeps his heavy-soled foot-gear oscillating so vio- lently in the narrow space that there is small chance of keeping within its reach, An ob- servant conductor on. the Olive street iine told me that three out of every ten men who take seatsin a ear crops their knees and hang their hoofs out inthe aisle. There is no way of remonstrating with these individ- uals, and the ... Wagons For Sale—Five Cents a Line. FIVE CENTS, mmmemens TRY [T, a Boarding—Three Lines for Ten Cents.

There is no abrupt- ness, no startiing contrast; itis the exquis- ite blending of nature’s symphonious bene- dictions, Thereis a softness and modula- tion.in outline that reminds one of the Sweeter cadenza which precedes a glorious fe Deum. Atter a most delightful ride of about two hours, [ arrived at Jackson, which, at a point 108 miles from Cairo, and bids fair in the near future to become the chief city of Tennessee. Deciding to remain at this point for one day I .stepped from the train upon a broad, smeoth platform. and there met several individuals who seemed particularly solicit- ous as to my intentions, but Il had shaped my course, and without argument entered the carriage that ministers to travelers. ‘The Hopper House,” I simply said, and away we went for about one mile, over an elegant road that would compare favorab! with the coucrete or “De Gollyer contract” pavement. We arrived in due time in front of a handsome brick structure directly in the center of the business portion of the town. The hotel attache took possession of my portable pecnerty with that sang froid pe- culiar to his Class, and ushered ime inte a large, luxurious room, there to await further developments. They camein the shape of mine host, A. G. Vay, a deserter from the ranks of the St. Louis knigiits of the grip sack, and I will say here that this bill of fare for ail meais could not be improved.

A FAITHLESS BROTHER. The Villiany of a Retired Soldier—A Happy Home Destroyed, From the New York Tribune. Pau] A. Broeser, who has been living for several months in Brooklyn, shot himself through the head at noon yesterday while standing by the side of his wife’s newly- made grave in the New-York Bay Cemetery, Jersey City. Broeser had been a soldier in the United States Army, and when his term of service expired in the early part of last winter-he came on from the Western plains, where he had been stationed, and made his home with his brother, Wiliam Broeser, who kept a large lager beer store and garden at Newark and Palisade avenues, Jersey City. .The soldier brother was given em- loyment a$ barkeeper, butin a few weeks illian Broeser had reason to regret his brother’s kindness. Little by little Paul in- stilled suspicions of his wife’s faithfulness into his brother's mind until! jealousy took complete possession of William and rendered him almost insane. Paul continued to add fuel to the flame until William finaliy drove his wife away from home and made frequent threats to kill her. The wronged wife’s earnest protestations of innocence were of no avail, Paul having obtained complete mastery over his brother. Paul then persuaded William to transfer his property to him to prevent his wife get- ting possession of any part of it, and the deeds were drawn up by George H. Barron, William’s legal adviser, Paul’s anxiety to have the transfer completed excited Mr, Barron’s sus, icion, and instead of having the deeds yecorded he held them in his pos- session® with tie determination to await further developments. A few days after- ward Paul showed himself in his true colors. He first drove his brother out of the place and took entire possession of it. Then he made an offer of marriage to Miss Schueler, a daughter of John A. Schueler, of No. 640 Newark avenue, and was accepted. The wedding touk piace ina few days, and was celebrated with exceedingly liberality, $200 worth of wine alone being disposed of by the guests at William's expense. The festivities were keptup for tnree days and nights, during which time everthing was free to everybody who visited the beer-shop. Inthe meantime Mr. Barron had been making diligent inquiry, and he learned, as he had suspected, tuat Mrs. William Broeser was entirely innocent of all that Paul had > rged against her. He communicated his a nae to William, and the result was a happy reconciliation between the es- tranged husband and wife. The next ste was to recover the property from Paul whic was accomplished with comparatively little difficulty owing to the lawyers shrewd fore- sight in failing to have the transfer deeds recorded. Paul was promptly ejected from the pre by William, and he went to the Hotei in New York with his bride. remained there a weektor two, and in that time Paul wrote -severa!l letters death in ecnerse ps reached Jersey City. Her ‘body was buri y her father in New York Bay Cemetery on Tuesday. When Paul shot himseif the report of the pistol was heard by some of the grave-dig- gers and they found him lying across his wife’s grive. He was Still alive and the hospital ambulance was summoned, but be- fore it afrived life Rad ebbed away. It is supposed that the failure of his schemes and the death of his wife rendered him insane. His body wks removed to the Morgue. He was about thirty-five years old, and his wife, who was sessed of considerable beauty, was hot mote than niueteeu at the time of her death. After the recovery of his pro- pores William became dissipated, lost his usiness throtigh negiect, and is now be- lieved to be somewhere out West. It is not known what hus become of his wife.

From the Pall Mall Gazette. A remarkable instance of the ferocity of bees under certain conditions has just been afiurded. A couple of days siuce the Lup- sham Horticultural Society hed its annuai exhibition at The Retreat, near Exeter. Oneotl the tents was vecupied by the Devon agd Exeter Bee- Keepers’ Association, and amgnz iis exhibits was cne which excited a very great deal of interest. This was a case contginiug several thousand dead drones wbich had lost their lives in a sauguinary battie a qupie of days previously. A well known @4piarian was visiting a friend’s house a day or two pre- viously, and on coming to one of the bee- hives it was found that there ‘was great up- ruar inside. Closer inspection showed the ground below the hive to be @overed with several hundred dead drones and hosts of them were still being brought to the en- trance and bundled out by the workers, geu- erally by being seized- behind the head and dragged along to the exit, whene, as a kind of farewell, a sting was given to hem. Ex- amination of the slain revealed tte fact that they had been severely handied. Many were headless, others had lost legs or wings or both, and alt bore evidence of rough usage. That the bees were very much the superior foree was shown by the fact that only about fifty of them had fallen in the iray, a remarkable disproportion to the num- ber slain of the enemy. The bagtle bad raged from about 7 in the morning to the same hour in the evening, and seemed then tv end only with the utter aonihilauon of the drones, For Dyspepsia; indigestion, Depression of Spirits and General Debility, in their various forms; also as a preventive against Fever and Ague and other Intermittent Fevers, the “Ferro- Phosphorated Elixir of Calisaya,” made by CASWELL, HAZARD & Co., New York, and sold by all Druggists, is the best tonic; and tor pa tients recovering from Fever or other sickuess it has no equa. 1 .

MARGERY’S UNCLE. H. B. W. th the Independent. The chureh of the Holy [Three Kings in Heidelberg was fair aud fragrant with branches of apple and cherry biossoms, Garlands of spring flowers twined the chan- cel-rail and crept down to the bride’s fert. One daring cluster had fallen on the veivet cushion. ; ‘Margery will kneel on crushed flowers,” whispered a romantic American girl. “Anda nicestain it will make on her wed- ding dress,”” replied a German matron. “See, she has put itaside. The peautiful fraulein has much sense.”’ Fraulein Margery, kneeling. bad taken up the cluster of daisies. They were still in her hand when she came down the aisle. Margery Sherinan was an orphan. For six years she had been at the school in Heidel- berg. The last few months Unele Jack had taxen rooms in the town, in an wld house with a baicony looking toward the castle. On the floor above lived Robert Brown, a young American physician; and from this arrange- inent hadcome about the American wedding at the ehurehof the Holy ‘Three Kings. The three bridesmaids wore fancy wreaths about their dainty straw hats, and baskets of pan- sies hung from the belts of their cream- colored dresses. The cnuurch lay in a market place, and the market women stood in groups about the door. Young Dr. Brown, catecn- ing a glimpse of their smiling faces, thought ho sweeter greeting couid com: to his young bride on her wedding day; and Uncle Jack, giving a handful of siiver to the nearest woian, said in a voice that broke a littie: “Spend it among you; you are all Mar- gery s friends.”’ The Royal London Cireus, on its summer tour, Was advertised to perform in Bristol. The manager haf previously sent to that city Timotiy ‘Twycerass “‘worid renowned ciowa anu tumbier,” to find and to hire haif.a dozen litile girls. ‘Timothy Twycrass hated the commission. Under tie red and white striped jacket beat a tender heart. This heart had oiten ached for the negiected chil- dren, who for one evening were transformed from the rags of their wretched garrets into the glory of tinseled fairies. The first per- formance in Bristul was over; the dressing- maid was washing from the children’s cheeks the only tint of rose which perbaps had ever rested there. After ‘this Sukey would go with them in a cab to their res, ective homes. ‘‘Isn’t she a pretty little dear?” said the maid to Tim thy, wrapping the shawl arouud the youngest of the group. Timotby and Cvttage Garden | came nearer. His hideous costume and painted face did not frighten the chilq and she streteaed out her little arin to tuuch his belt of beils. ‘*Merciful heavens!” eried Timothy; for there were bruises on the arm and shou-der. ‘The heart uuder the red and white stripes beat angrily, and the voice so used to utter- ing inaue nothings sounded strange as he asked au older giri if this little chiid had a mother. “No,” she answered. “Her don’t belon to nubody. Missus treats her dreadful, an then the master beats missus. He’s good to sis when he ain’t drunk.” “Sis 7’ and Sukey looked inquiringly. “Her ain’t got no name. Missus always ealls ner Sis. Master calls her Little Un.” “You can take the others home, Sukey. I shall carry this baby.” And “wrapping his traveiing-rug about the little waif, Timothy, forgetiul of his attire, strode out into the night) A crowd lingered about the booths where the two-headed woman held a soiree and the Aibino children winked their very | pink eyes, Timothy made his way through the peuple. It was but a few steps to the old teneuieut-house from which the child had been brought. ‘*‘Missus” had never seena clown, and when Timothy threw open the door and cried, “Do you call vourself a woman?’ she screained hysterically: ‘What have | done? Let me go!” But pereeiving the tittle giri, she realized that the strange appearance was no avenging fiend and began to scold. “T hate the-child,” she said. “She’s naught. Her father was my brother. He’s dead now. If you like her so well you had better keep her. Go along with you both!” The little cheek was laiu close against Tim- otny’s face; a faint, frightened voice said, “1 will be goud.” And the man knew as he drew his trembling burden closer that he had taken the child forever. Timothy was dressed in his best and stood at the dour of St. Paul’s rectory. Tne world-renowned clown and tumbler never felt so manly as when he entered tie minister’s s udy and said: “I’ve achildl waut christened. J]’m going to farrin part next week. I’d like it done in Eugiand. don’t know much myself; but 1 wart to bring herup right. I’ve mostly tambled up. Then he told the child’s story, uncon- sciously telling his own. ‘Timothy was awk- ward audiilat ease, but the few words he said came to the minister like a strong chord of music tenderly sustaining the song of a little child. “To-morow will be Easter day. There will be a baptism at St. Paul’s. Bring your little daughter at 3.” ’ ‘limothy bowed. He knew very little about Easter, excepting et prec holi- ays the audiences Were aiways large. ‘ “What are vou going to call her?” asked Sukey, as she dressed the child in white and put on the littie shoes and stockings, Margery, fur my mother,” said limothy. Sukey went to the church with “Mile Eli-e Viviani, the famous rope dancer and tne loveliest lady in the land.’ Bs: ‘They sat in oue of the front slips. Neither of them lad seen a christening before. Maule Elise held the prayer-book upside down, She had never learned toread. Sukey said amen when the miuister’s wile did; but Tim- othy, wo had in some way a-tained quite a high degree of culture in reading, writing ‘aud ecippering, was able to take an appre- ciative interest. ‘lhe vain pomp and glory of the world,” said he, following the service. ‘That means the circus. The child musn’t have anything 'to do witn it. l’ilsend her to schovl,and when she finishes with -her books I'll finish with the business. l’ll bavea good bit in the bank then.” For the first time in his life Timothy féit ashamed of his profession. It was Margery’s 14th birthday, and with Uncie Jack she was taking tea io Frau Zip’s sbady garden. Frau Zi, was the landlady of a very quiet and respectable pension, and here Jolu Sherman caine whenever his busi- ness arrangements allowed him a few hours in Heideiberg. Joon Sherman was a reserved, rather sad looking man of about 42. He paid hés bills promptly, made the servants suitable pres- enis, and’ sent Frau Zip a remem eve Christmas. He impressed his German jan lady as a mysterious man. For two jong years she had been investi- | gating her lodger’s probable occupation; but i . at the end of all her conjectures and theories she was not wiser than in the beginning. Margery had known no relative but Uncie Jack. She could remember no life but days at school, sometimes in France, sometimes in Germany, now and then a week of holidays or an afternoon with her uncie. It was an old-fashioned garden full of shadows that Seemed to come down from the vine-covered hills, The roses grew redder as the shadows fell on them. | “Uncle Jack,” said Margery suddenly, “‘a circus is coming to Heidelberg. I wish you wuld stay and take me. I have never seen a circus.” “Impossible, I cannot be back here for three months at least.” “What a pity,” said Margery. The shadows which darkened the roses seemed to have fallen on Mr. John Sher- man’s face, and he lovked unusually grave as he left the young girl! that nightin Frau Mor- genstern’s parlor. “Grand cowbination cireuns — English, French and American.” ‘Three weeks be- ore men came to put up the buildings. hree days vefore others came to engage roums, and one exciting evening an extra train brought the men, women and children, tents, animals and moustrosities. “it is most marvelous!” said Frau Zip re- turning from market. “It is like the em- perof’s birthday. So many people!” An American, French ak English cirens Was an eventin Heidelberg. Every one went; even the littie Crown Prince of Sweden with his tutor. Frau Morgenstern saw no im- propriety in taking her young ladies. There were the usual frats of strength and agility, the usual marvelous leaps throughs the air, the trained horses who danced a quadrille, the elephants, the giants, niusic, Spangies, sawdust, aud lemunade svld in the corners. A strange feeling came to Margery that night—a feeling of something familiar and of mething forgotten. She could not under- sfand it; but when Timothy Twycrass made his grand flourish Margery loosened a knot of ribbon from her bair, tied it around a white rose she worein her dress, and threw the rose at the clown’s feet. He picked it up and stood quite still. It was just then that Frau Zip’s daughter Sophie said to her mother. “Somehow he lvooks like Mr. Sher- nian.” The resemblance was-gone in a momengpand Frau Zip, luoking in the direc- tion of Sphie’s eyes, said: “Chiid, what nonsense, you are near-signhted; you should wear gasses.” Frau Morgenstern fortunately did not ob- serve Miss Margery’s aciiun. As the crowd passed out, two women with shawls over their heads stood at tne dour. They looked curiously at Margery. “‘Shie’ grown a beautiful young iady, Sukey,” saic Madeinviselie E:ise Viviani. ‘it’s better for ber never to have known the likes of us.”’ *“Andto think she should have thrown Timothy the rose, aud her never Kuew him!” said Sukey, And ber lookiug sv pretiy with her eyes all afire. It was iuecky for Lim he did not have to go outaga:in. He couldu’t have done a thing. J never did see a man so overcome.” When Uncle Jack was againin Heidel- berg Margery told him the swry of the cir- cus Man aid the rose. “Lcoutin’t keep it,” said Margery. “I knew Frau Morgenstern w uid have scold- « vut just then 1 wanted ogive iuat clown everything Lhadin the word. What made we feel so, Uucie Jack? I didn’t knuw him. You are not angry?’ a-ked Margery; for Unele Jack had wrned away his nead; but probably that was only to look at the yeiluw kitten playing in the grass. Then came more happy school days, the happy six months in the nouse with tne bal- cony looking tuward the casile, and the hap- py wed iing with the s,ring bDlussoius and tie pansy-decked bridesmaids at the church of tue Hoy Three Kiugs.

When Margery “fiiished with ber buoks,”’ Unele Jace “finished with his busi- ness,”’ as he had promised uimsell that East- er afternoon at St. Paul’s. Neither Margery, nor Frau Zip, nor Sophia nor even Robert Brown ever knew that John Sher:uan, pro- fessor of gymnastics in one of the English colleges, was once Timothy Twycrass, ‘‘worid-renowned ciown aud tumbler” of the Royal London circus. .

WOODCHUCKS. ee The Report of a Committee Appointed by tue New Hampsuire Legis.ature. The speciat committee, consisting of a representative from each county of the Staie, which was appointed by the New Hampshire Legis!ature to investigate tne woodchuck questivn, has just made its re- port. I[tseems tha tue New Hampshire farms are overrun with woodchucks, and the farmers were offended because the Legis- lature refused to offer a bounty of filteen cents a head to encourage the killing of woodchucks.. In consequence of the protest of the offended farmers the special commit- tee was appointed. This isthe way it de- scribes the wovdchuck : The body even in very young woodchucks is inciined to be gray—a very significant cir- cumstance in the mind of *vour committee, when the tutal depravity of the anima) is considered. The predatory habits of the animal make it the co. .mon foe of mankind, for it is a sneak-thief first, iast and ail the time. Like thieves in all climes, the wvood- chuck remains securely concealed in its hole for a great part of the day. Its only purpose in venturing forth during the daytime is: to get a goud lay of the land. The w odchuck devours corn, vegetables of all kinds, even umpkins, and it justdotes on nice grass. Vout committee was very much impressed with the similarity existing betweeu the woodchuck and the officehviders. ‘They both prefer to livein clover. Youur committee does not, however, regard this pecaliarity in any way aS an extenuation or paliiation. either for the woudchuck or for the postinas- ters. The woodchuck, despite deforinities of both mind and of body, possesses sume of a higher civilization. lt cleans its face after the wanner of the squirrel, and licks its fur aiter the manner of the cat. Your commit- tee is tou wise, however, to ve deceived by this purely superficial observance of bevter habits. Contemporaneous with the ark, the wvuodchuck has nut made any material prog- ress in social science, and itis now too late to attempt to reform the wayward sinner. While your committee does not wish to advance any startling theory relative to the hibernation of tue woodchuck, it begs leave to say that it Was astrong impression that it is a hibernatipg animal. *Experi- ments concerning this particular feature have been tried in various parts of the worid, and itis almost the unanimvuus testimony of scientific men that such is the fact. The an- imal, so they say, takes is bed about Octo- ber 1 and becomes torpid aud to ail appear- auces dead. Uufortunateiy for the farmers, this interesting habit ouly gues into effect at that season of the year wheu nubudy cares a Your committee believes that this torpidity has nothing t» do with a smitten conscience. It has been hinted in some quarters that the passage of the bounty law would amount to :egalizing trespass, and that farms adja- cent to the woodchuck farms might thereby become overrun and seriously daimaged. In answer to this your cvinmittee would say that it is one of the worst of commun foes, and every owner who way fee! aggrieved by the bands of eager avengers who overrun his acres in the chase inust, on maturer reflec- tion, remember that his exe wption to-day may become his liability to-inorrow. our committee has given this important subjecta most thorough exatnination, and finds the woodchuck one of the worst ene- mies ever known to the farmer; and unless the Legislature do something to rid the State of these animals, the chances are that the woodchuck will have thin,s its own way. | alttiieg Wattow els de uss bar comea sod or the trail, the siot or the run ropean city, sometimes ip another, working | snap about the woodchuck or the clover crop. | SPORTING TERMS. Words Which afte Used ‘by Those Who initiated. London Globe, In these degenerate days there is a sad falling off in the credit ef those words and mer ys tam in which it was once deemed quite essential that every sportsman should under- stand, In the “art and mystery of hunting, as Well as in that ul banking and woodcraft, there were a thoushnd specia! expressions known only to the initiated, and used by them as a sort of outward sign that hey were fa viliar with the sports of the field, What has now become ail.the terms of venerie, upon @ knowledge of which whieh knight and baron prided himself, ahd wh it was one of the chief duties of the pouts esquire to learn at the same time wi the exercises of war? In those days each stag had its appropriate title in.accurdance with the number of antlers it carried,-ur the num- ber of years it had lived. Its places of re- sort by day and by night were described by special name; its track over the ground was distinguished by set words frem that of the fox, the hare, or other wild creatuges. Who is there now, except, perhaps, an antiquaty or two, who could give all their names and titles? Who cares whether he cun describe the path of an animal correctly as_the track Nine out of ten of the old orthodox phrases have become not only obsolete, but ridiculous, aud a man would bedaughed at rather than admired for producing them at the covert side or in the field. Still, some smali number of them remain aud seem likely now to keep their place, 80 long, at least, as field sports of any kind are allowed by the bumanitarians to subsist in these islands. To the list of such terms each kind of sport contributes its share; and in each of them there are certain expressions which @ man must stil! use, or at least understand, unless he intends be looked at with contemptuous wonder by his feilow-sportsmen, and scribed as a ec ckney holiday-maker. It is still an unvardonable misnomer to talk of the tail or head uf a fux, and perhaps those would be most severe in their censure of such language who are least able to say why ol this animal more than of any otber the froutispiece should be called a mask. There are still one or two cries of whicua the use is kept up in the huntiag field—a sorry rem- nant of trat handsome vocabulary of notes, vucal and instrumeatal, by whica the prog- ress of the chase was signaled in more chiv- airous times. Yét whe now knows for eer- tainty the origin or noe even of the common term “Tallyhu?” I8 it derived from the French “‘fayau,” or is the Jatter, ax seeius more tikely, a corruption of the Eaygiisi word? Has it any conuection with tue vid word tally, meaning to correspond, and dves-it denote the lact that the running of the huunds is nuw plainly in unison with the irack of the escaping quarry? Not one in a hundred of tho.e who use the cry has ever considered what it neans, and not one in «a thuusaud has devised a sensible explana- tion. ‘There is, bowever, clearly an analogy between it aud the coursing term of “soho or “see lo,”’ which seems probabiy to be de- rived from the verb tu see, coupled with the geueric afix which implies an exhortation to get furwa.d, add. essed either to man or dogs. A suniiar aspirated sound reappears in ¢hie” wheu addressed to sporting dugs, and ig ““ha ha’ wheu addressed to hawks. It is &nal- agous tu the mucy more usual words halloo ‘aud tue Freien valali, in woich again the ‘.”’ is the same that reappears in the gpame- keeper’s favorite prefix of “‘ioo.” But then, suy the etyuiviogists, is nut halloo a deriva- tive of the Saxon alhoua., to shout, from which comes our common word* “loud?” More prubabiy the verb. itself, old as it is, Came trou tue exclamation: for in the order of tuings, wen were huaters before they were grammarians, and gave mouti) to ex- Ciamatious before they aspired to deciine and conjugate verbs. Tne rac.ng and driving man must also know ocecasivbally how to avoid the wrong t.ough more common word. He must not speak of the right or left side of his horse; he should not, when mounted, eyen speak o his ngutor leit hand. He mill not be par- doned ior speaxing of a white horse, or using au inappropritte term for one which shouid be calied roan. He will excite some derision if he describe gpromiscuousiy as horses all animals belonging to the chevaline race, and snould, if he aspires to be an authority, know exactiy when a foai becomes afeolt, when a colt is promoted to the appellation of a horse, and when, after enjoylag that titled as a 4-vear-old aud 5-year-old, he advances to the orthodux description of “‘aged.”” The shoot- ing man has even more ueed to take care how he taiks. What will be thought of him if he sjeaks Of a “vrace” of ravbits ora “couple’ ot hares, of a “pack” of partridges or a “eovey’’ of grouse? To be esteemed a com- plete sportsman he should know that a nest of pheasants avd its contents are called a nye or nide. He should be able to give toall collections of wild birds their proper defi- nition, as a “congregation” of plovers, & ‘“nidification’”’ of rooks, a “herd’’ of wiid swans, a “murmaration” of jackdaws, a “gagsle’”’ of wild geese. A GIAN fr SKELETON. Discovery in Indiana of the Bones of a Man of Gigantic S.ature. Shelbyville, Ind: , Special. rit George Arnold, a farm hand in the employ of Franklin Boots, who lives abont fifteen miies west of this city, made a discovery which has exeited widespread interest in this county. The object of this interest is the skeleton of what once was a ma of gi- gantic proportions, which was uncovered in a gravel pit on Mr, Boots’ farm. The skele- ton was foundina sitting poxture, facing the east, and about six feet beneath the sur- face. Some of the bones were badly broken by a caving of the bank, but the s«ull and some of tbe larger bones were taken out in- tact, and from them may be easily realized the gigantic stature of the being to whom they once gave support. A measurement of the skull from front t» rear, the rule passi througk the eye socket to the bac of the head, shows it to have been about sixteen inches, while the breadth of the inferior maxillary was eight and one-half inches, showing that the brain must have weighed from four and one-half to five pounds. Careful measure- ments of the other bones establish the fact that the man, when alive, was not less than nine feet in height and large in proportion. From the appearance of the teeth, which are very large, anddo not snow the slightest sign of decay, although they are worn down almost to the bones of the jaw, the man could not have been less than 100 years old when he dred, and of course he may have been much older. The*bones of the lower jaw are very large and thick, showing an ex- teut of muscular developinent in that organ which ts far beyond anything of the present day. How long ago the body of this giant was interred where it was unearthed, or to what tribe ot paves he belonged when he trod the earth in all the majesty of his strength, it is impossible to say, but it must bave Deen ages ago, as all the indications show that the soil wiere the remains was discovered had not been disturbed for many generations, Steps have been taken to have casts made of the bones, and they. willée of our Coliege inuseuins.

St. Louis Easily Defeats the Athletics— Racing Iinformation--Gossip. The St. Louis and Athietic clubs met at Philadelphia yesterday for the last half of the series of games to be played by them. More than 12,000 people witnessed the defeat of the Quaker City cracks by a score of 7 to 5. Bradley pitched for the Athletics and was not batted at all hard. Mullane.and Deasley were the St. Louis battery, and did very good work, although Deasley’s throwing was not as accurate as usual. Taken altogether the game was brilliant at times, but rather loose, the best feature about it being that St. Louis won. Base hits: St. Louis 7, Athletics 6G Errors: St. Louis 45,. Athletics 12.
