ASHINGTON, D. C., January 28.—On the 16th @f December last Hon. Dudley ©. Haskell, uting the Second District of Kansas in Congress. died. On the day following his death Was announced in both branches of Congress. Thereupon, asis the custom, a committee was tea to escort the remains to Lawrence, for burial. This committee—which ought to become famous in the history of this great Government— is herewith named, for the reason that if this Fation doesn’t know them well enough pos- ought to. On the part of the Senate there were: Senators Piumb of Kansas, Cockrell of Missouri, and Dawes of Massachusetts. On the part of the House: Messrs. Russell of Mas- sachusetts ; Kasson of Iowa; Browne of Indiana; ‘LeFevre of Obio; Burnes of Missouri; Harback of Kansas; Graves of Missouri, ana Ryan of Kan- Sas. - About the time of Haskell’s death John P. Lee- dom, who is the Sergeant-at-Armis of the House, and, of course, an QVhio man, was having a good deal of trouble about the appointment of Mr. Hill as his deputy. He had warmed over a good many excuses for failing to take care of Hill, and fiual- ly consluded to give him the shake for a few weeks by assuming himself the charge of the Has- kell funeral, which gave him an excuse for jump- ing the town. He did take charge, and has at dne fell swoop immortalized himseif. The bills which he rendered for the expenses of the trip show that if the dear people are tired of having money hoardead up in the Treasury vauits, Leedom kpows flow to get it without a derrick. The to- éal expenses of the funeral aggregatedin round numbers $3.500. I give the bills as renderea and then an analysis: fo Pennsylvania Railroad Company: Eighteen nékets, Washington to Lawrence, Kan., $632 70; . $29 40; eleven tickets from ngton, $723 60; total, $1,384 70.

Totai, $870 THESE ITEMS OF EXPENDITURE, so prodigal in their nature, ought te be an in- ducement for a Congressman todie each week, It will be seen that before the committee left Washington Mr. Leedom invested $20206 for lunch, bought of James Wormliey, Washington’s colored and fashionabie caterer. This ought to have iasted eleven men four hours; but it did not, for at Harrisburg, which is less than four hours’ run, an additional $24 is invested in lunch. Next is an item of $14for “breakfast” at Indian- apolis, the lunch fiends having in less than twenty-four hours devoured nearly $300 worth of. raw material aud bought $54 worth more, which was added to the larder. At Lawrence, Kan., the en mourn- ers were again empty, and $55 06 more lunch was peeded. Coming back the lunch grab was again repeated to the tune of $15 60 in St. Louis, $6 95 in a dining car, and $12 25 at Columbus, Ohio. It will be ob- served thatin the Columbus charge “tmuiit” is added. Possibly Leedom bought lemons, olives and oranges to whet the appetites of his hungry band. All told, the luneh-eaiers cost the poor tax-payers $515 92. To aid its digestion $36 worth of cigars were provided, 200 of which are desig- nated as “Carolina” cigars. Having provided so handsomely for the gusta- tory entertainment of the Congressional mourn- ers, Mr. Leedom did not forget to have each prop- erly jabeied with the babiliments of mourning. Of course, gioves were hecessary. Leeaom is not acheap Man. Evidently he thought Congressmen were not big fools enoughto die often. So he worked dead one he was nursing for all in the ame. Although seleven men accompanied the Congressional escort, only eight left this city. These eight (with Leedom) required forty-one rs of Kia gloves at $2 60 a pair, making an item of g102 50. It would never do to eat the “lunch hereinbefore set forth with kid gloves; 80, in ad- dition, fourteen pairs of white gloves at 75 cents a were bought—an additional outlay of $10 50, , aD gis worth of sashes each reason somebody sashes, for it ap ny of study.

A few ‘Carolina’ cigars will come in handy.” ; it will be noticed, to the credit of the Sergeant- at-Arms, that while he was good to the commit- tee he did not neglect the corpse. He not only invested in its behalf in a ticket to its last resting place, but hkewise dropped for it $870 with the undertaker, a thrifty fellow, who has worked dead Congressmen before, and lies awake at night to be ready for the next customer. Then $336 44 was expended in qprriage hire, $32 for hearses and $6 50 for the “transfer of the corpse at Washington.” This last item might suggest that some other fellow than the corpse actually hogged the hearse. An analysis of the alarming extravagance of Ohio’s new Sergeantat-Arms might be pursned ad infinitum, and the more it is pursued the more compiex it would appear. If Mr. Leedom got away with this money it is time to check his rasb- ness in the handiing of the agg money. Should an epidemic break out in Congress, the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives | would bankrupt the Treasury. Members of the Committee on Accounts, Who are required to audit the bills, have called for more specific de- tails. The expenditure is the lurgest by $1,500 for a Congressional tuneral which has ever yet been presented. When John G. Thompson was Ser- geant-at-Arms he did have cheek enough to KO $2,000 and better on a “corpse,” but his Ohio successor completely Knocks hiin out, N. B.—Another Congressman died to-day.

New YORK, January 30.—The Mail and Express says: Tne formation of a syndicate Saturday last to buy and hold for a long time a block of North- ern Pacific securities, is invested with far more Loportance thanthe public generally know or suppose. It can be stated that a number of wealthy syndicates have been formed to buy the leading shares, and take the same from the street and hold them for along time. The process of purchasing the stock has been in steady progress simce Saturday last, and while there will un- doubtedly be reactions the general tendency of affairs onthe Stock Exchange will be in the direction of an improvement. The bears have lost their power and influence, and can no oe He engineer a depression through by artificial de- vices.

William H. Vanderbilt, © a -— He Was Questioned Regarding the Rumor q That He Would Come to the Rescue of the “4 West Shore Road—A Talk With Gould... — . By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw YORK, January 30.—The extension of the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company by the purchase of the National System from New York to Chicago atong the lines of the West Shore and Nickel Plate roads did not appear to have any in- fluence on Western Union yesterday, and the stock ciosed slightly higher than’ on Monday, The report that the Baltimore and Ohio is about to be sold to or consolidated with the Western Union, and the appointment of Mr.D. H. Batesfas president of the Baltimore and Ohio, and the pur- chase of the National Line were but preliminary steps in the scheme of amalgamation, and were emphatically denied by Mr. Bates. Mr. Jay Gould was asked yesterday what effect the new move of the Baltimore and Ohio would have on the Western Union. “None whatever,” he re- plied; “the line over the Nickel Plate from Buff. alo to Chicago has not paid expenses. Besides, [ understand that there are legal proceedings af- fecting the title of the Nicke! Pilate line so that the Baltimore and Ohio get very little for théir money, and the effect on the Western Union amounts to absolutely nothing.” On the other hand. the belief on the “street” is that the West- ern Union is no Jonger to enjoy a monopoly of telegraph business. Not only has the Baltimore und Ohio entered into active competition with it, but the bankers and merchants also are engaged in extending its lines. President A. W, Dimock is absent from the city now negotiating with two or three railroad companies for the pur- chase of their telegraph franchises. The amount aid for the material was $800,000, $400.900 each or the West Shore and Nickel Plate lines. Of the amount paid for the West Shore line a large part was received by Receiver Green of the Norih River Constiuction Company, which owned most of the stock. This payment will relieve the Con. struction Company of some of its immediate obit gations, The “shorts” were given another squeeze by Jay Gould - yesterday, and higber prices were the order of the day. It is said that Vanderbiit isa silent partuer in the syndicate which relieved the “O. T.” of its embarrassment. The report is that Woerishoffer had almost concluded a similar arrangement with the O. T. when Jay Gould heard of it, and step. ing in seized the opportunity to squeeze the ars. Of course Woerishoffer denies the story. lt is stated as among the possibilities that Mr Gould and Mr. . may enter the Northern Pacific directory, the latier to take the place vacated by Hemy Villard. MR. VANDERBILT FEELS VERY WELL. Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt was seen yesterday and ex- pressed his views on the West Shore and New York Central Railroads, He said: “The people of the West Shore are not so far - inthe neck as they will yet be. The further they go on the worse they will be.” Hesaid there was no truth what- ever in the report that he was coming to the res- cue of the West Shorea Road. “‘Every word of thatisa lie,” he said. “The New York Central would not haye the West Shore Road at any price. They don’t wantit. We have as much as we can do with our own road. We have never refused business and there is noneed for building aparaliel line. The West Shore people know this. I repeat what I said the other day, that the was merely blackmailing If the men who have but it wens into t ly believing that there was amp : aan it — ee ying inv ; 3 ey are bigger fools suppored. Our tracks-through the State all purpot . Be sides that, neither the present West mar agers or any other people ean take that road and earn the interest on the bonds. I bave conversed with some of the best railroad men in the coun and they agree with me that the West Shorer will prove anything but a_ successful line. Some two months since a proposition was made to our stockholders jooking to the transfer of the West Shore Line to us, which we declined. None of our stockholders favored the proposition. Ido not know whether the parties making the proposition were author- ized to act or not, but I suppose they were.” In regard to the Pennsvivania people being desirous of securing control of the road, Mr. Vanderbilt said the reporter could rest assured that these capitalists were not going to invest money ina not paying enterprise, and this the West Shore would always remain. “Inside of thirty days,” he continued, “every one will be GRABBING STOCKS, and full confidence will be restored. The bottom has been reached and the rise will be steady. My roads are paying, and all this stuff about the country going to the devil is nonsense. if prices have been too high, knows they have been reduced low enough to sat- isfy the most conservative man inthe world.” In conclusion, Mr. Vanderbilt said that a man’s bonds were tohbim like the apple-stand to the embryo capitalist. He did not think legislation would interfere with his roads. The Stock Exchange. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, January 30.—The members of the Stock Exchange have made up their minds that their presept biniding is entirely inadequate to the requirements of their steadily increasing bus- iness. There is but one opinion, that the Ex- change must move, as it@s impossible to enlarge its present building. The question that 1s agitat- ing the members is, what site can be obtained for a new building? Several of the most prominent members make the astouishing proposition that the Exchange be moved up town between Union Square and dison Square. This, it is admitted, would revolutionize all street. The brokers would follow the Exchange, and the banks and financial institutions would follow the brokers. Wali street would ve Geserted and the financial center of the Nation would be transferred up town. The governi committee has appointed J. D. Probst, Donald Mackay, Wm. Lummis, Brayton Ives,and EK A, Decker a special committee to consider the ques- tion of a new building for the Exchange. The committee will hoid its first meeting and will endeavor to make a the growth ef the next fifteen years. present room sboula be provided.

So Says Mr. Springer, of IMinois—But Little Business Done at the Capito! To-Day— Nominations and Other Notes. ——— By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 30.—The funeral services of the late Congressman Mackey is the only even: of interest af the Capitol to-day. The scene ip the House is a very impressive one, and one that has not been witnessed there before for nearly five years. The custom of holding services over deceased members in the ball of the House of Representatives was formerly quite common, but it bas falien into disuse of late, since the cus- tom of taking the remains’ bome for burial has become more general. It is understood to have been the desire of Mr, Mackey that his remains rest at Washiugton rather thau be returned to South Carolina, where his personal unpopularity with the more influential class was recognized. The House transacted little business and at 1:30, the hour set for the funeral, the Senate filed in and occupied seats in the front rows, which the House members vacated for them. They were soon followed by the remains, escorted by tweive members of the House, and followed by the rela- tives of the deceased. The galleries were crowa- ed. The services were bri f and conducted Dy the pastor ofthe Unitarian Cnpurch. The remains were then escorted to the Congressional Oeme- tery, both Houses adjourning. Wright on the Mississippi. By Teiegraph to the Pust-Vispatch. WASHINGTON. January 30.—Gen. Wricht, in an interview publisbed to-day regarding the coming convention in the interest of the Mississippi River, said; “The best men in the country are coming.

His Lecture on “Numbers,” Which He ‘ Will Deliver To-Night—A Chat With Mr. Arnold— What He Thinks of Amer- ica and Especially of the Newspapers, Mr. Matthew Arnold, the distin guished Enghsh scholar, probably as a writer on social and religious topics, ap essayist, poet and critic, the foremost man to-day in English letters, with Mrs. Arnold, arrived in the city last evening. This morning Mr. and Mrs. Arneld, accompanied by Mr. Heury Hitchcock, were driven around the city and devoted some time to an examination of Wasbington Univer- sity, with especial reference to the manual train- ing department. Immediately after his ride Mr. Arnold was met In the Southern Hotel corridor by a POST-DISPATCH fre- perter, who adducted him from a crewd of of litterateurs, preacbers and men of learuing for a few minutes quiet chat. The reporter ventured a few remarks on the condition ofthe streets, but Mr. Arnold, ashe divestea himself of his over- coat, laughingly said, “l won’t beara word against the weather. It is delightful, the only, really pleasant weatber that have experienced since coming +o America, I have just been taking a hurried look at your city.

I think, however, that itis a step in the right direction,” ‘ A bell-boy was kept pretty constantly trotting back and forth with cards and abswers. “You are given agood dealof trouble-by the Ame ican interviewer are you not, Mr. Arnold?

THE RIVER Probability of a Break in the Ice In a Short lime. The warm weather has had a remarkable ef- fect on the ice in the river, and should a heavy rain follow, a. break-up may be looked for at any time afver Saturday or Sunday. The great thick- ness of the ice is the source of cousiderable anxiety among boat owners. Should a sudden break come, it would be a difficult matter to say how large the damage would be. If, on the other hand, a slow and steady thaw sets in, the ice will become so rotien that there wili be but very littie cause for alarm.

ASH AND IVORY. —_— Catton and Carter Open Their Great Billiard Match, St. Louis Club’s Directory Meeting—Dia- mond Chips—Sporting Sundries and Gossip. ; rhe billiard mateh between the St. Louis and Clicagu representatives, Billy Catton ang Eugene Carter, opened last uight at Baldwin & Teuten- berg’s pool room before a notabie audicnce,which embraced large numbers of the best known bil- liardists vf the city, besides many patrons of the gentiemen’s game. The seats were al! filled, but there Was bo rush or crowding as the sale of tick- els Was restricted to the actual seating accommo- dations. Before the game opened some chaiges were noted inthe pool sales and in the private pets and Carter became the favorite at slight odds. The game is at unlimited rail, 3,000 points, up, 1,000 points to be played each nichtoft the match Mr. L.L. Maguus acted as referee last night; Ed Warner asumpire for Cathou and Carter acted as his own umpire. Messrs. Willis and Colt were scorers, anu Ed Biock the marker. The timeof game was three bours and twenty minutes, andthe exhibition one of the finest and most satisfactory ever seen here. Carter ied off avd missed bis first sbot, and C utonscored 8. It was not uutil the ninth inning, however, that any remarkable run was made, when Catto put 134 buttons togetuer very handsomely. Until the twenty-fourth inning, bowever, the figures crept up very siowly, apd then Carter got his hand in aud ran 221 very brilliantly.

Bottomless Streets. Broadway from O'Fallon street porth is one ocean of mud and slush, from three to five inchey deep. Two orthree men are at work Cleaning the crossings. No attempt has been made to clean the street. Should the warm weather con- tinue a few days longer it is possible that the mud and slush will partly overflow the pavements along the street. Pedestrians have to keep in close to the buildings or be covered with mud by passing teams. In many other places the streets are almost bottomless, .but the section above mentioned is worse than any in the city. TAKE DOWN THE BILLS. A Crusade Against Improper Lit- erature and Theatrical Posters. —_—_ ——_— A Number of Prominent Citizens Interest Themseives—A Call Upon the Authorities to Entorce the Law—The Extent of the Evil. A tcommittee of citizens composed of Messrs. Gerard B. Allen, John D. Perry, Syives- ter H. Laflin, W. Nichols, Web M. Samuel and James M. Franciscus addressed a letter to Cir- cult Attorney Harvey a few weeks ago calling that officiai’s attention to the amount of obscene literature in circulation in this city. In this mat- ter the committee moved independently and ex- ressed a determination if there was a remedy to had wo apply it. The society for the suppress- ion of vice is represented nere in the person of Mr. McAiee, who, altaough a painstaking man, surrounds himself with such unnecessary secrecy and adopts such slow methods in dolug a work in which everybody is willing to aid, that he does uot by any means accomplish the objects he otherwise could. The gentiemen above named asked the opinion of the Circuit Attorney io relation to three illustrated papers published in New York and circulatea throughout the country. Later Mr. C. L. Thomp- son waited on the Circuit Attorney and represent- ed the facis and invoked official aid in a matter of such consequence to tbe rising generation. A Post-DiIsPATCH reporter calied at Mr. Harvey’s office to-day to ascertain what had beendone. In response to the question be said: “A committee of gentiemen wrote me on this subject about two montus ago, and I solicited and obtained the opinion of the Attorney-General onthe subject. Since then nothing has been done, although the recent appearance on our streets of Certain illus- trations bas caused widespread discussion of the subject. In this buliding, where people become somewhat dulled from constant coutact with vice, I huve heard half a dozeu officials denounce the advertisements referred to and ask What power the courts had to deal wita the pubiisbers in such matters. lu reply to my letter asking his opinion, Attor- ney-General Mclatyre says: “I will treat the question under tbe first section of the act of 1881. fue terms “obscene,” “lewd,” “indecent’’ and “jasciviots” used in the act, though not entirely synonymous, are yei sv nearly 30 as to be inter- chaugeabie aud mean about the same thing, aud are delined, “unit tor the eyes and ear,” “shame- less,”’ “impure,” “filthy.” These defiuitions rep- resent these terms as they are generaily under- |} their plain, ORDINARY AND USUAL SENSE, and must be so coustrued in their use in the act in question, See act of March 15, 1881, pp. 111. Atiaching Unis obviously proper meaning to these words descriptive of an cieuse, I find nothing in the readivg ~wongesd ws ay in any of the papers which would bring em wWithin the wmeaa- ine of the act of 1881, or section 1542, neither do I fud any cuts or oe whichin m opinion Would bring them within tife statutes. It is true Unat there are pictures of females attired, as they often are when eugaged in athletic per- jormances in the circus and in theaters, but these pictures are not obscene and shameiess, as those terms are used in the law. In these re- spects the Attorney-General is of the opinion that the publishers and circulators of these illustrated papers do not come withiu the statutes, but be is of the opinion that the character of Lhe advertise- ments bring them withiu tae laws.” ‘What is your opinion of the question?” “I tnink all such papers, circulars, posters ,etc., come within the meaning of the law, and I think Mr. Mcluatyre’s view IS CRAMPED to some extent. If the appearance of a woman on Lhe street in a certain Ccustuime would be indecent it 1s my Opinion that tue publication or circula- tion of a picture of such would be indecent. I am ready whenever calied upon to give all the time I can*possibly spare to setile inthe courts @ mat- ter of such moment to the growing genera- tion.” Some theatrical posters which have recent! been putup about town caused considerable comment, which extended to members ol the present Grand Jury. who discussed the matier iutormally. It was supposed yesterday that when Managers Norton, Smitu and Robert son Were Calica before the Grand Jury the body intended to go into this subject. Wuether tais be true or nol, itis sure that the present Grand Jury will give considerable attention tothe mat- ter. An attempt will be made to prevent the pasting - of posters advertising variety shows of a certain class, which are at present a great puisance, A well-known business man said to- day: “Something ought to done. Those posters representing objectionable scenes are stuck on the bill-boards ay over the city. In gaudy, flaring and attractive colors, they repre- sent scenes which certainly no young girl or boy should be allowed to contemplate. Yet the fact is Lhat these advertising bills coverthe dead walls and the boards on the routes to ana from near! every public and private sciaol in the city. Each afternoon you cau see half grown girls and boys, with bvoks under their arms, gathering their first insight into the crooked, path trom these widely distributed displays. They are flaunted along all the street car lines, and meet the eye of the passenger, bo matter in what direction he is traveling. Around the church neigibornoods they are displayed plentifully.

THEIR PATIENT LIVES. The Young Man Witha Bullet Hole Through His Brain. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, January 30.—Bruno Kuoorr, an ac- count of whose self-shooting was published in the Post-D1IsPATCH on Tuesday, still lives at Belle- vue Hospital, with a bullet through his skull and brain. He is very much improved to-day. He complained yesterday of a painin his stomach and said he could not lift his right arm. Dr. Robert T. Morris, surgeon, and Dr. W. F. Fiubrer, consulting surgeon, were extremely reluctant to make any statements in regard to the case. From those who witnessed the extraction of the balla de- scription of the operation was obtained. The man was placed under the influence of ether late in the afternoon. Ashe lay ou his back a probe was inserted inthe orifice in the middle of the forg¢head. It was found to be utterly impossible to extract the bullet by way of its entrance, so the location of the buliet was calculated by the eye, guided by judgment, based mangle on the kuowledge of ovrevious cases. The pa tient was then turned on his side, the bair shaved and across cut with the scalpel. At the spotunder which it was estimated the ball lay, the button, or piece of skull, was cut out as has been described. This wasina perfectly healthy state in every respect, uninjured, as was the membrane covering the brain. When the thick membraue was slit THERE WAS GREAT HEMORRHAGE, and the great length of the opera.ion, four hours anda half, was dueto the necessary treatment for this. When the thin membrane was cut small flecks were seen. From this and the unusual pul sation observed it was judged that the bullet was in close proxi- mity. y inserting the. little finger in the hole, which was as large as a silver dime, resistance was met, and the surgeons knew the delicate cal- culation was exxct. The ball was quickly taken out. it was flattened. Atthe apex a rubber tube a quarter of an inch in diameter and perfor- ated at mapy points was attached toa probe which was drawn through the channel until it ex: tended aninchfromthe skull before ard be hind. This was then bandaged pro- perly and served to drain the channel and to guard from some dangers. In- case the patient progresses favorably other means will soon be takento effect the purpose, willie the walls of the channel are healing. THERE IS NO INFLAMMATION or hemorrhage, but there is possivie danger from siow inflammation. The chances for recovery, however, are said to be fair. Tne paralysis of the right arm consequent upon the wound will in a méasure disappear, it is supposed, wile some mental peculiarities are expecied to characterize the maa if he recovers. The case is unique in the history of surgery, and fs the first one as far as is known in which the location of the ball has been exactly estimated and the bullet then exyacted from a counter opening. The least departure of the probe from the channel of the wound into the mush-like substance of the brain, it is said, would have been almost instantly fatai. The delicacy of touch, the steadiness and accuracy, is saic by ex- perts to have been little less than miraculous. Colder Weather. The temperature is lower in the Northwest, the thermometer ranging from 20° above to 10° below zero. The weather here is gradually growing warmer, the thermometer having risen steadily since last night. The indications are that there will be a cold change to-nicht, Dut not a very de- cided owe.

He thereupon refused to complete the bargain. lu cross-examination he said he had been in the habit of buying and selling sapphires, butonly when mounted up. Their vaiue then was according to their setting. He was no judge of sapphires, He was aware that the invuice was for “beryl sapphires.” He did not know tbat the word beryl meant imitation. He thought it was a mere descrip- tion of the stones. He was a jeweler, and dealt in gold and silver goods. Mr. Alfonso Nourick, a iapidary, said he had examined the supposed stunes. They were of the commonest kind of imitation known as paste, and sold by the gross. Mr. Geoghegan—W hat dves paste mean?

People often devote a great dealof time and spend large sums of money on articles for the decoration of their homes, and when they are through they find that they have a vast collection of nondescript things which probably possess a flashy beauty that attracts a passing faney, and then become tiresome and commonplace. The trouble is such people do not purchase with a view to real artistic worth, and are deceived by a false show of cheapness into buying goods that are cheap in every sense of the word. Asa mat- ter of taste and fact, one article of actual art value is worth a ton of trash as au ornament, and a true educator of taste. The Mermod & Jaccatd Jew- elry Company on Fourth and Locust streets acts on one principle above ail othersin the manage- ment of its magnificent art rooms,and that isto keep in stock only tine best, and to always be able to offer to its patrons the chvice art products. of the world. Objects of art may be found there in the most exquisite designs, which are fully equal to any that may be seen anywhere, and, owing to the extensive trade and enormous purchases of the firm, the pieces are as lowin price as can be had at the great art centers. In sconces, plaques, vases, bronze, marble and bisque figures, orna- mental lainps, clocks, hammered metal work, and everything else, in fact, shitable for the decora- tion of homes, the most charming articles and the products of the leading artists may be found in abuodance and maguificént variety. can possibly be made by inexperienced persons, as the greatest atteution to purchasers is given by the courteous employes, and their representa- tions may be relied on in every case. The prices are undoubtedly extremely low. A NUMBER Of prominent physicians of our city have signed a recommendation in favor of Har- less’ Cough Caramels. Depot Drug Store, Fifth and Market.

Mr. Boyd states that Kaub, with whom young Post deposited a considerable por- tion of his embezzlea cash, is a representative of the Louisiana State Lottery, and he teels quite certain that there is no other representative of that or any other ‘lottery company doing busimess in the city. Kaub, before the Johnson pill took effect, was convicted and sentenced to a six- months’ term in the Work House, but the ease was appealed and has not yet been decided. Meanwhile, notwithstanding his conviction of a misdemeanor, he seems to recognize iitile to be afraid of in the felony bill, and carries on his business quite openly, to the amazement and envy of vendors of several other lottery combinations who got snagged before they could do any busi- ness at all. Mr. Kaub, however, is to be taught that there is to beaday of reckoning, for Mr. Boyd has already secured the evidence againsi him whereou to base several indictments, This is understood to have been a work of cyunsider- able difficulty, because the Louisiana Lottery has a list of old and weil-Known customers here. with whom it does business, to the exclusion ot the mob, and these customers are not disposed to fur- nish evidence against it, A MUNIFICENT OFFER!

The city of St. Louis has evidently missed a splendid chance to become possessed of a su- perior drinking fountain, as will be seen from the correspondence herewith submitted. It is to be hoped that some enterprising citizen will yet seize this glorious opportunity to immortalize himself by the exercise of a little philanthropy, and give to thirsty St. Louis one of its greatest needs. The following letters relative to the mat- ter explain themselves: 912 GARRISON AVENUE, St. Louis, Mo., January 28, 1884. To His Honor, Mayor Ewing, St. Louis: My DEAR SiR—I beg to enclose youa proposi- tion by H. D. Cogswell of San Francisco to present to your city a fountainin the form of a stutue,and will be obliged if you will, after proper consideration, cause an answer to be senthim. I am not sure that | am personally acquainted with Mr. Cogsweil, unless he be the artist of sume fame and the owner of Sierra Madre villa near Los An- geles. Iam well acquainted with this Mr. Cogs- well, and if the writer De the same Ican under- stand why be makes his proposition through me. l am, with respect, your obedient servant, W. T. SHERMAN, The letter, which Gen. Sherman enciosed, is as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, January 21, 1884, Gen. Sherman: My DEAR Srr—Allow me, an old pioneer of 1849, to request you to offer in my behalf the do- nation of a beautiful drinking fountain, composed of granite and bronze, to the city of St. Louis, I have made only six of this kind,and shall not : contract for more, These I intended for the prin- cipal cities of my choice. The duplicate of this one was offered by Gen. Rosecrans to Wasbing- ton, D. C., and accepted by joint resolution of Congress July 6, 1882, and referred to the Com- missioners to locate, who pow write me that it is too large for Seventh and Pennsy'vania avenue, the place I desired them to set van tee they ap- prehended the 6% feet statue, ca the *“Guar- dian of the Fountain,” to be a statue of the douor. To remove these objections for Wash- ington, D. oe have told them to set it in the next best place in that city and I will substitute the statue of “An Ideal Soi- dier,” also a six and a half feet statue, which is, or should be, popular with every pvutriotie citizen ot the United States. These plans, specifications andgph°%tographs of statues, ete., are now in the hands of the Washington commission, and your people can see thbemat any time if they desire. The conditious for the city’s accepting them are: To pass a resolution to pay the freight from the place of manufacture (at or near New York), and set it up: also to send me a certified copy of the resolutions of acceptance of the conditions, with $200, the wholesale cost of the four lanterns, posts etc., compiete. These lanterns are red, white an blue. Of the six | have madetu donate Wash- logton, San Francisco and Providence (my tormer residence) will have one each, I have offered one to each of the following cities: Chicago, New . York and Boston, which have now taken too much time to examine this “gift horse.” Should St. Louis take prompt * action before these esthetic cities accept conditions, she will get one of these fouatains sent to St. Louis at once upon receipt of acceptance of fountain conditions, $200. The base of this tountain is about 16 feet; height, if set as intended, about 25 feet. Yours most re- spectfully, H. D. COGSWELL, The following is the Mayor’s reply: EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, MAYOR’S OFFICE. ST. Louts, Mo., January 29, 188} Henry D. Cogswell, Esq., San Francisco: DEAR Sin—In repiy w your letter of January 21, addressed to Gen. Sherman, and transmitted by him to this office, Ihave to advise you that it is not practicable for this city to acquire the fountain spoken of in said letter onthe terms mentioned therein. Respecttully, Wn. L. Kwirne, Mayor. Gen. Sherman was informed of the nature of the reply to Mr. Cogswell’s letter. “Buchu-paiba,,’ great kidney and urfnary cure. #1 The Sketch Clubs. The rival sketch clubs will give receptions to- morrow evening, the St. Louis Sketch Club at its rooms, 1724 Washington avenue, and the Salma- gundi Clubin J. R. Meeker’s studio, 107 North Eighth street. The invitation. to the St. Louis Ciub’s entertainment is simple in design and neat in execution. The subject for illustration will be “Selections from Keats.” The invitation to the Salmagundi recention is one of the handsomest ever issued. Itis about 12x9inches in size, and is enclosed in. a brown envelope, on whieh the names of the musicians, vocalists. actors and other contributors to the entertainment are printed. It consists of a gunny-case envelope, with a large green seal bearing the*tigure of Mel- omene. Its face frames an artotype sketel veuring tne words, “Themefor Lliustration and Entertainment: ‘ Bells of Cornevilie.’ Welcome,’’' and the name of the person invited. Within this case isa handsome card bearing the legend, ‘J. l.. Spurgin receives at Salmagundi Club January 31.” Thisis on the face of aa exceedingly neat sketch in Spurgin’s best style, representing the host staudiug on his doorstep inviting an army of Bohemians to enter. A wintry effect is given to me sesee and the sketch is altogether very artistic. Established 1841. R.G.
