Morse’s Sad and Romantic Career. Special Telegraphic Letter to the Post-Dispatch. NEW York, Maren 1.—Our “best people” are greatly agitated over Mrs. Paran Stevens’ last outbreak. That noted leader of wealth and fasb- ion in the metropolis has been guilty of some re- markable eccentricities—to use a charitable euphonism—but she bas contrived heretefore, tn one Way or another, to keep these little personal affairs very quiet. Not that her characteristics are in the least a secret in the society of Which she is a conspicuous ornament. Indeed, for many years past her ‘‘iouaness,” her temper and reckless disregard of what are con- sidered the social amenities, have been the sub- ject of numerous stories whispered about by the scandal-loving gossips at New York high-teas, at Newport garden-parties, and on the hotel veran- das of Long Branen and Saratoga. But she has managed pretty well to keep out of the-papers. Sue has been tolerated in decent society here for two reasons. Her enormous wealth and Magnificent hospitality capture the great- er part of our wealth-worsbiping snobocracy. The few whose minds lift them „bove joining in what Matthew Arnold would call the. genuAcxious of the populace defore the almighty dollar, spare the golden termagant on acceunt ot ber daughter. That the relict ef the late Paran Steveus is the mother of the charming young ae! Bae as Minnie Stevens, was by right of hef beauty, her lovable qualities of heart and mind, her brilliant wit ana refined taste, THE REIGNING BELLE IN NEW YORK SOCIETY for severalysuccessive seasous, is her one re- deemiug virtue. Since this young lady’s mar- riage to the Honorable Arthur Paget, a brother of the Marquis of ‘ ork wi mother, to is siucerely devéted and over whom she exercises a me inftuehee. The m of Stevens’ Pifit ee, ee ae Han, anc the lu ar eyes when she chooses to be agreeable. Luxuri- ous surroundings and constant contact duriag a score of years with many of the most polishea poopie of this country ana Europe has not been without its influaeuce on ber manners and deport- ment. There is not a woman that I Know in New York who can be more courtly or engaging at times. But “ibe animal“ 18. strong withiu ber, particularly when the wine cup has many times circled the board. I remember bow this grand- dame once enteitained a distinguished company at dinner. Sue presided over the feast of reason and flow of soul with the weil-bred repose of a duchess, Not the ponderous dignity of an English dowager, but that happy. sparkling savoir faire with which a noble French hostess delights ner company ;bilnging out cach individual aud assist- iug or lauguing at the bon mots until the wit bubbled like champagne. But alas! an incident vccurred which in a moment caused the real nat- ure of the woman to break through its gilded barriers. Towards the end of the dinner a serv- ant accidentally upset a glass of claret upon her dress. She rose instantly, 8 HER EYES FLASHING AND HER WHOLE FORM QUIVERING WITH RAGE. Before the trembling meutal could utter a word of apology his mistress seized the glass aud huried it at him. A Leavy dish of solid gold quick- ly followed the glass, dud the missiles were ac- companied by such a torrent of the most profane, vuigar and indeceut abuse as wo have shamed any well-regulated Bowery dance- house. The guests stared hast, and poor Minnie turned pale. WI perfect svif- possession, however, she quietly bade the guests remain where they were, and gving up to her mother put an arm around her waist aod gently but firmly led her to her room. Ih a lew moments the good ange! of the house reappeared, but the guesis made their adicus without delay. I am told that Mrs. Stevens has been heard swear ar her servants irequently, aud she bas been seen to publicly chastise a dllatory coachmau by striking him in the face as he buwed torecelve her orders in front of ber door. She gave a_ diuuer to Lord Rosebery when that vivacious and handsome young nobleman was bere in 1878, al which she was said 10 have been so entranced by him as to offer him her heart and band. Though nobody Knew it, the poor Scotch Earl was then engaged to the beiress of Baron Mayer de Rothschild. TRBATING THE OFFER AS A JEST Rosebery said he would worsnip ber loveiiness as reflected lu her dauguter, and left his hostess in conversation Wien plump, rosy, white mustac Sam Ward, who, iuspired by some rare old Ma- deira whieh he had couscientiously sampled when the ladics withdrew, came up smiulingly as freshly as the rose in his buttou-hule, his nose glowin like ihe rubies which gleameu from the flagers o one band, and his big black eyes dimming the sparkle of the diamoud iu the head of a sunke ring on bis littie Hager. Upon poor Sam the mill- 1onairess iurned all the batteries of her charms wii such effect thatit is said he pro or came very near proposing, himself. At avy rate, it is Certain thatthe pair remained tete-ztete in a corner oi the drawing-room during remaiu- der of the evening, and the next ning the King of the Lobby received a lung and affection- ate epistie from Miss Minnie Stevens, 1 reproacbing him for the suddenness with wai be bad captured her mother’s heart, and assuring him that she trusted soon to be able to sign ner- self his affectionaie and dutiful ste ughter. Sam's recollection of the evenis of previvus night was so Defogged by the aroma ol tue Ma- deira aud the ozove of champagne fur the live ot him, ue could vol reculiect Whether or not he had proposed, aud, if he had proposed, whetuer he had been accepted or rejected.

I tanced your attentions to Mrs, . last night looked a little suspicious,” = Bui Sam was borritied, ud would not be tent until Rosbery had Undertaken to him from tue scrape.

OLD STEVENS, with all his wealth, was engrossed in his hotel business and nis investments in Broadway real- estate. Of “society” he knew nothing and cared Immediatel after 8 death less. Mra. Stevens went to Europe, where she remained a year or two with her children, and attracted some aticntion in the olla podrida cireles of Paris and London, On her return it became apparent that she as- pired to socia! distinction. urchasing a beauti- ful place at Newport, she first came out’ in the hetorogeneous society of that watering piace, with an impressive display of her style and wealth. Selecting Boston as the scene of her winter glory she purchased a’ handsome beuse on Beacon Hi and distributed her cards. To ber annoyance and disgust the blue bloods of the American Athens turned a very cold shoulder to ber. She got uotlung but “regrets” in return fer her invi- tations and on several occasions was badly snub- bed. Like a wise geueral, she made up her mud to retreat, and turning her back upon culture and baked beans, she descended upouNew York. Here she was received by our spebbish shoducrae ey with open arms and fer nearly twenty years HAS RULED WITH DESPUTIC SWAY. She was as upiucky in tre vbject of ber Pr t outburst as when she brought the darts of Choates’ forensic sarcasm dowu upon her devoted head during the trial of a sult oreugot by Richard M. Hunt, the itect, a lew years Ago. Mrs. Sarah Gibbous is a woman of real artistic ability, sturdy iudependepce and rare pluck and r 3 good sense. Tuose w ow her appreciate her, and says she is nota 1 to — accept im- pertinence from any ove. When Mrs. Steveus swept graudly from her carriage into Mrs. Gibbous’ art store tue other day that lady was attending to some customers aud in repiy to au imperious question from Mrs. Stevens begged her to Wail a moment. The winlow ch«mbermaid betrayed great annoyauce at Mrs. Gidvuis’ 1.cK Of that subservievcy usually shown by * tue trades-people W. om she hovered with Ler patronage. “I can’t be ~~ % Waiting in this way,” she peta- lantly exclauned. ’ “Theu come some other time,” returned Mrs. Gibbons with spirit. At this, Mrs. Stevens declared with much pro- lane and vuigar emphasis tha: she was entitled Lo better treatment in her owu house and con- tinued to abuse pour Mrs. Gibbons in language tov vile for pubiication. TWO POLICEMEN WERE CALLED ip on her — to leute the place and she only made up ber mind te go Alter they had threatened Lo pus her out by force, One result oi the scene will be an addition to the sea of litigation in which Mrs. Stevens is always engaged, for Mrs. Givbogs has already begun a prosecution for the iwsults heaped upon her, and Mrs. Steveus has beguu a suit against the art dealer for Cail- ing in tue peiice and ejecting her. How doth the busy iawyer prosper! You re member that A. TI. Stewart left 9 EX-JUDGE HENKY HILTON $1,000,000 in casu, aud that the astute Henry bought business est ed to be worth neariy ten mil lions trom the confiding Mrs. Stewart for his million. The ee little widow nas since got rid a good deal of her money not only in duilding the Episcopal Cathe- dral at Garden City, on ng Island, butin a number of exteusivé but unostentabous Charities, Henry on the contrary, has added considerably to bis pe.

Of the many strange charac- ters I have met in my time he was the straugest. His real name was not Saimi Morse, but Solomon Moses, and he wasa Loudon Jew. But he had traveled extensively, and delved not deeply but diversely ia eut of tue way deids of knowledge. Many men who have known Salm Morse well, aud who have seen much of him during the last year or two, agree with me that his mind was affecied. This was particulariy appareut afier his fival failure to produce the passion lay; or, as he called it, the “Religious resentation of the Passiou of Our Lord.“ His madness Was net the resuit of “much tearning.” Tue one subject he was thoroughly familiar with was Solomou’s Temple. He ut, it is said, nearly ten yeurs in ahd about Jerusalem study- ing the uners and customs of the ancient Hebrews and the arcuitecture and topog- ruphy of the Holy City. He cencrived ihe idea of presenting the glories of old Jerusalem on the sta e, and his idea became the ambitiou of his life. The passion pay was iis outcome, When produced in San Francisco the acturs were rotten-e and the play stopped by the cat-calls the hovdlums. He sirove hard to gain „ but iu spite letter from Bishop Allemany, the mocking and derision of Denis Kearney and his friends drove him out oi the city, He came to New York with letters to several old Californians on the Miulug Stock Exchange, Backed by these friends be made the wong and plucky fight fur the right to produce nis “Repre- sentation,” whica is recent enough to be iaimil- iar. The play itself has been often described. It is totally uulike the celebrmed passiva enacted every ten years by the Wood Uarvers of Oovram- nergau, Which in fact Morse bad never wituess- He was a tall, soldieriy looking man, showing no other traces Of age than tron-gray hair and mustache. An ugly scar over tue left temple he pointed to as the mark of a saver streke receiyed at Balaklava. Possessing much of that CHARM CALLED ANIMAL MAGNETISM. he was a rare bun vivaut.

THE BATTLE-GROUND. TRINKITAT, March 1.~Tuursday night Gen. Graham's expedition eticamped near Fort Baker. The troops were all assembled before sunset ex- éept the Sixty-fifth Regiment, which arrived al 8. Fitday morning, breakfast over, the forces, about 4.000 strong, formed in an oblong square, the tront aud rear being longer than the sides, owing 10 the different strength of the regiments. The Gordon Highlanders formed the advance, with q Gatling guns and one Gardiner in the right corner and two Gardiners and one Gatling iu the lett corner. The Eighty-ninth Regiment formed the right hand side of the squate, and the black Watch Regiment the rear. The length of the front was 350 yards he Hussars acted as mi-cirele one thousand yards ahead, covering the front and flanks of the main force. The troops advanced over the sand knohs and scrub for a mile from Fort Baker along the Teb Road, when the rebels opened fire with Remington rifles, but the range was so long that the shots proved ineffective. The rebels in swarms occupied the high ground in front and on the flanks of the British army. They retired Slowly as the Engiish advanced, keeping about 3,400 yards from the main body of the English force. BRITISH CAVALRY followed, covering the rear upon the left and formed into three lines, distant 900 yards from the main army. At 9:30 a gunboat fired from Trinkitat, but the shells burst a mile short of the @uemy’s position. The cavalry and mounted in- fantry advanced on the left to touch the rebeis, who moved obstinately, though not indispused to fight the infantry, which éontinued to advance steadily. Two or three times a halt was made to a iow tlie sailors and artillerymen dragging the Ths road toward Teb was studded with hundred#@f corpses of Baker Pasha's fugi- tives, filling the air with pollution, and around which swarms of carrion flies hovered. After ad- vanelug three miles the earth-works of the rebels came in sieht. Guns were mounted and standards were flying. The rebel fire had now almost ceased, excepi on the extreme right and left, The British stepped forth as if on holiday parade, playing bagpipes, and thé Highlanders footing cheerily. They advanced until within 800 yards of the rebels’ position, where was an old sugar mili sur- rounded by a number of huts, and forthwith two guns were situated. Here a halt was ordered, and the scouts féjoined the cavalry. Neither for seemed disposed to open fire. At last, “Atten- tention!’ was called, whereupon the rebels see- ing the British move, began thé battle with shell trom a Krupp gun, which passed wide over the square. The next shots were AIMED WITH GREATER ACCURACY and the shelis burst close to the British, wound- ing several. The rebels maintained a rattling fusilade with small arms. As the shots increased the ambulance surgeons were fully occupied The English advanced steadily in the square without answering the rebel fire until they pass- ed the north face of the rebel works. At this point a piece Of shell wounded Baker Pasha, and twenty men were hit. After an echelon of 1,000 yards @ halt was ordered ana the men direct- od to lie down. It was now hoonday, clear, aud the wind dispersed the smoke of the revel fire, disclosing the rebels’ movements. Then the British Opened fire and the rebel fire rapidly slackened. An advance was at once or- dered. The troops rose and approached the rebels’ works. The rebels were in no mill tary order, but they held their position Gesperately. There were two thousand of them in front and hundreds on the sides of the square. As the British advanced, firing, the rebels arose within two hundred yards of them and rushed headlong witn spears upon the British line. They fell dead to the right and left. None of them bolted, but fell back sullenlv. [av- ing cleared the ground in frout the British attacked Fort Burnaby, ana carried it after a desperate fight. They turned two Krupp guns against the enemy. but the Arabs contested every inch. The British then stormed the brick building, and at 1 o’clock the rebeis bolted, the gatling guns and Martini rifles creating great havoc among them. The English forces advanced to the well at Teb, where the rebels made their last stand. After FOUR HOURS’ ARDUOUS FIGHTING the British gained possession of the rebels“ camp. The Gavairy charged the retreating rebels, who did not bolt, but gave the troopers blow for blow. The enemy retreated slowly and the British kept up their fre. Gen. Graham decided to pass the night at Teb Wells. The advance on Tokar will be made to-day. VICTORIOUS FVBRYWHERE.

Wells Appointed Post- Master, but Why? sas The Republican Factions Greatly Pus- zled by the President's Action, as it is & Concession to Neither--They Are In- quiring How This is to Strengthen Mr. Arthur in the Convention. | By Telegrapp to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March. 1.—Posiinaster Wells was found at Ebbitt’s this morning receiving the congratulations of his friends. He was very sorry, he said to the Post-DISPATCH correspond- ent, that so long as his name was to go in yes- terday it had not gone in a little earlier in the day. “But one can't control all those matters, you know. After all, it was a good deal like a case of consumption. While it had been expected for & long time it was a shock when it came.“ “What will be the effect upoti the St. Louls of- flee, Mr. Wells? Do you expect to make many changes?“ Not that I know now of,” he replled. “I think Igo into the office without an enemy, and with ty | to punish or reward. The contest was made in che best of humor ali around, and 1 don’t think here is any occasion for any feeling on the part of anybody. 1 cannot say apything definite as to what changes will be made, or whether where will be any. It is a matter to which I have given no attention, and thatI cannot give atten- tion, to until I get home and look over the neld. I don’t think it probable that there will be many if any changes. I am frank to say now, without wait- ing to see 1 about the situation there, that do not go into office for any roW or wiih tlie ex- pectaiion of having any. Having no enemies te punish and no rewards promised to any friends, I am quite free to conduct the affairs of the office with the good of the service oniv in view. I shall uot favor turning out good, active and faiinful Officials who do as well as or beiter than any-new mau could, simply beeause I have the power to do 0.’ “If there are to be any important changes you don’t Know them now?” “If there are to be any important changes they will only be determined upon by develop- ments and by a belief that the good of tlie serviee demands them, and I have uow no rea on to be- lieve that such changes will be demanded,” “When do you expect to assume the duties of your position, Mr. Weils?“ Don't know yet. I have had no consultation with anybody on that subject. I hresume, how- ever, not before the end of tuis mouth, which wil end the present quarter.” “What are the relations of yourself and your competitors in the flaht?“ “Quite agreeable. There has not been the sligutest feeling. They are all my personal friends, and I dont think there will be any ver- sonal feelings on their part.“ “Then you think your appointment will not lead to any renewal of the quarrel within your party.“ “Tf there is to be anything of this sort it will be both a surprise and a source of gréat regret. to me.“ Who Backed Him, As was foreshadowed in the Post-DisPpaATCcH of yesterday, the President last evening sent to the Senate the appoiutment of Redhey D. Wells to the position of Postmaster of St. Louis. The im- pression prevails that the appointment will be confirmed without opposition, and St. Louis is } rélieved of a suspense whicu began way back iit October. The suspense, however, is succeeded by 4 very general curiosity as to what thé appointment means, and how it was brought about. It is very zeucrally understood that while Mr. Filley poul- tices the black eye whieh the President bas given him, he and bis friends can take to themselves the consolation that the representattves of the Glove-Democrat Silk Siocking crowd have been fitted with an assortment of black eyes also. Both sides are as philosophical as itis possible for them to be under the cireum- stances, and they vie with each other in their declarations that the President's action is not nearly so insatisfactory as it might be. By that iatge portion of the community which is not in- terested in the interna bickerings of the Republican party or the tate ot the faction candidates, the appoiugmens:) ts very generally approved. Mr. Wells nas been a resident of this city since 1857, with the exception of tue year 1864, which he spent in Chicago. In nearly all of his early business career in Phila- — and here he was connected or associated with members of the Filley famiiy, and by a curi- ous coincidence in his very first essay at politics bis most fofmidabie opponent wus a member of that family. He is a native of Rloom- ficeid, Conn., and when quite young devoted a brief period to the National Democrat of New York, The larger part of his Whsiness life, how- ever, has been devoted to the chiua Ware burlhess. in which he was first engaged here by the firm of E. A.& S. R. Filley. Afterwards he was associated with Chauncey I., in the same bine, and finally through the various stages of Field, Sandford & Wells, and sanford, Wellis & Co., thecnivaware firm was trimmed down to the style of Rodney D. Wells & Co., wuich it sill retains, Mr. Wells being the sole member. By good business ability, a rare industry, aud very = straightforward dealing, Mr. Wells has made for himself an excellent business record, which insures him the confluence of those Who know him, Dut bas left him a perfect stranger to the po- liticui world. He is in independent circumstanees, aud, being only 57 years of age, isin full posses- siou of all his facuities and energies. His eandi- dacy was not the result of his own ambition, but wis proniptec, it is said, by the friends of Postmaster Hays, who, when @hey discovered some time in December that Mr. Hays’ chances for reappointment were hopeless, held a meeting in the business 2 of the Globe-Demoerat, and agreed to put Mr. Wells forward as their next choice, Fora time Mr. Hays, his friends aud the Globe-Democrat were regarded as the uncompromising supporters of the Wells boom, and Mr. Wells became an active candidate, Just before tie holidays, however, the postmastership deadiock at Wasii- ington served to send Hays stock up again. It was reported that the President was a personal friend of Mr. Hays, and would ke to solve fhe vexatious problem by giving him the appointment if penne Sang assured * it would please any eonsiderabie portion of the party. Accor ly the Glove-Democrat, Mr. N ats, ba | in fact the majority of those who had induced Mr. Wells to enter the field, abandoned him and began to pull on the Hays string again. Mr. Wells did not learn tor some time of the deser- tion, but when he did finally discover it, he felt that he nad been victim- Hed and was quite indignant about it. The Hays combination labored with renewed vigor, and just after the holidays secured to that geutleman's petition tie signature of such Republi- Lan statesmen as E, S. Rowse, D. P. Dyer et al. The revival of the Hays boom, however Was a talse alarm, aud it Soo died right | dead. The natal supposition would be that the Hays strength would immediately go back to Wells in that cou- tingeney, But not so. It was diviaed up between Messrs. Bain and Fishback, and Mr, Wells was left to go it alone. Through his individual popu- larity, however, he secured a very respectavie backing, aud with no love for hose who had ushed him into the feld Originally 10 went in to wil. itis said that he did not have the indorsement of a single member of a untiounl, State, disttiet of city Republican committee. How he secured the prize, then, is the great mystery whicn takes the lace Of the paluful suspeuse which this question as occasioned, It was understood all Alonz that President Arthur was delayiug the ap- pointment in the hope of bestowing it where it would best serve to aid him in securing him the Missouri delegatiou to Chicago, if that was his purpose, bis final action seems Strangely at Variance with it, Hecoutd hardly have se lecied an appoiutee more barren of politieal as- sociations, political knowledge, politieal ge- quaintance political taste or lite say that out of all the men who will figure at all prominently in the formation of the delegation to the National Republican Convention, “not teh aasii with the retiring and epurteons gunticnan whe is to manage our Pust Office for the next four bars Tus feport that Mr. Wells is a Fer — in any way related Mr. G.

There is no application on file in Wash- ington signed by him for the position, but his friends and Republican workers poured in a tor- tent of the strongest indorsements to the Presi- dent expressive of their wisu that he ought to be appointed. These emanated from all factions and elements of the party in the city and throughout the State, particularly from the Germans, who compose such a large element of the party and who cannot be ignored. There will be no relaxation in the ef- forts on the part of Mr. Filley and his friends to bring about harmoavin the party in Missouri. Tue matter of an office certainly does not inter- fere with his work for the good of the pariy. By the way, did you Know that Wells was a Garonae- let man?

The aspect of the case, stripped of its legal confusions and techni- éalities muy be stated as follows: For tweuty- tive years past the Connecticus Mutual has been loaning money in Missourt, as Other States, tak- ing as deri trust deeds on real estate. It has dove a very large and prosperous business in this way, and only once, previous to the recent de. cision by Commissioner Phillips loomea up, did there appéar auy doubt that the ideality its way of doing business in this State could a tackéd, This was when one of the debtors o the co by named Adam Albert contested the ciaim of the company aud set up in his defense a section of the Missoufi banking law which made void aud of none effect all bonds. bills or notes or other 112 of securine the payment of money of bank notes loaned ur advanced by any foreign corporation of incorporated banking company, which is doing business by tts officers or agents within this State. The case was decided in tue lower courts in favor of the insurance com- pany, and, on appeal to the Supreme Court, the ‘eo was coufirmed, that court finding that a foreign Corporation vot engaged in the business of batik bg inay make loaus of money in this State, and that the object of the law relating to legal banking was to prevent the introduction of a depreciated currency into this State. and the competition of foreign banks with local ones. The opinion closed as follows: “Whilst it is the policy of the law to protect the authorized bank- ing establishments, as wellas the peopie of the Siate, against the injurious effects of a banking business carried on by a foreign banking corpora- tion, through its agents, and thus fleoding the country wilha Worthless circulation, yet it was not intended to drive out money from another State to be loaned in the ordinary way. The umount Of money loaned, or the number of loans, is wholly immaterial, and it makes ho difference whether the saine belongs to an individual or a corporation, if it was such money as is net proniviied from circulation by the laws of the Sine. From ali that appears in this case it Was lawful money of, the country, and neither the party to whom tue loan was made nor the publi¢, could be injured by the fact of its being loaned by a corporation instead of an indl- vidual,’ With this and another decision of somewhat like nature as protecting precedents the Counett- iout Mutual went on lendiug money in Missouri until afew days ago, when Mr. Rowse, its finan- cial agent, in acccrdance With instructions from President Greene, anuouneed that, on iccount of a recent decision by Conimnissionér Phillips, the eompany would be obliged te withdraw from the bustvess of loaning money in inis State. The decision of Commissicner Phillips, given .in a éase where an litiuois bauker sought to sell the property of a Missuuri farmer who had borrowed money from him. reopened the whole question of the pains and penaities to which foreign corpora- tions doing business nere are liabie and changed the feeling of seenrity under whieh they were doing business into a fee'ing of doubt which prevented them from going ou doing business. The defendant in the case pleaded the section whieh had been already unsuccessfully pleaded, and Judge Phillips. while stating that out of respect for the previous Supreme Court decisious with which he disagreed, said he would not de- cide the case in accordance with his own views, yet expressed the opinion that the law preventing foreign corporations trom LOANING MONEY IN MISSOURI was in force and migit be applied to their disad- Vantage ou some future occasion. “The law, which has since been modified some what, was frained by the Legislature in 1837,’- siid Gov. Johuson, this morning, after he had eopsuited a number of venerable law books, aud asl nd that its adoption oecurred four days after the xranting or tiie charter of the old Mis- sour! State Bank, it is reasonable to presume that it was intended to protect that bank froin outside competition, Undoubtedly the modifications which the law afierwards underwent were intend- ed to Bulid the local insuraneé Companies oi the State.“ One of the most energetic and progressive of the real estate men of St. Louis, speaking of the threatened withdrawal ef the Connecticut Mutual said: , „The company has already shut down, and if tt continues to do so the damages to the city and Stite will be enormous. They were the most Mo- eral people Lever did business with. Their invVa- riable rate of interest was 6 per cent, and their rule was to advance money to the extent of 50 per cent of the vaiue of real estate, and 40 per cent on improvements. Since April last we have placed with them 81, 200 O worth of loans in tbe following amounts: $346,000, 8200. 000, 6200. 000, and $414,000. The narties for whom we effected these loans are ali more than thoroughly satisfied with the nature of the transactions. One of them the man who got the 886.000 — had his property all tied up. and as be saw it hopelessly involved through his abilities to pri- vate indiviauals from whom he had borrowed money at 7 auds percent. He came to me ia a terrible state of mind; he Was absolutely in tears over what, he considered the hopeless condition into whicl his affairs had sunk. I took hold of his business and in ashort time had: converted his liabilities to private individuals at 7 and 8 per cent into a Habilitty to the Insurance Company, hearing interest at 6 per cent. The company has driven out of the State all the private money lenders, but they’ll de back here before long.“ CASHIER THOMSON of the Boatman’s Bank took an opposite view of the case, stating that the possible withdrawal of the Connecticut Mutual was by 00 means so seri- ous à matter as nad been supposed, “That com- pany lends money at long dates, with security equal to double the loan and at6 per cent inter- est. There are lots of local capitalists ready to do thessame thing, Such an investment is eou- sidered a very good one. Auy man wauting to borrow a few hundred thousand dollars on such terms would not have to go a block from the bank here to get it.“ The president of the Commercial Bank said: „That decision of Phillips’ don't amount to any- thing.

This morning another ease of novel practice éame to light in the First District Police Court, Cora Thornburgh, the proprietress of a disreputable house, was arrested some days ago by the police officers.

One ofthe Boldest Forgery Exploits Yet Attempted Here--Cashier Nickerson ’s Cool Course in an Emergency. A dapper, well-dressed, self-possessed man of about 40 years of age, was committed to jail this morning under a warrant charging Geo. A. Vin- cent with forgery in the third degree, bis accuser veing John Nickerson, cashier of the St. Louis National Bank. In view of the credentials which Mr. Vincent presented, this seemed really barsh treating for as nicé-looking a man as he is. On Monday last Mr. Nickerson received from Mr. Chalaroni, cashier of the Union Nationai Bank of New Orleans a letter stating that Mr. G. A. Vin- cent, @ merchant of that city, would be up here in a few days to buy goods, and would resenta draft on the Natioual Park Bank of New York for $6,500 which Mr. Nickerson would pe safe in honoring. In order that there might de no mistake, the signature of Mr. Vincent, on the back of one of the deposit checks of the New Orleans bank, was enclosed, so as to identily him. Mr. Nickerson noticed that while the sig- nature of the New Orleans Cashier was perfect, and although the letier head and deposit check were all right, the body of the letter was writien jn a hand different from that of the majority of commuuications frum there, and without kuow- ing just why, Mr. Nickerson became sus- picious. The amount was considerable, and after the subject had recurred te his mind several times, he concluded to telegraph an — etd as to whether a letter had been written identifying any such man. A lelegram came back very promptly, sialing that the Dank had forwarded ho letter jdentilying anybody of that name, Mr. Nickerson immediatety sent word to Chief Harrigan, who de- tailed Detectives Tucker and Tracy to stay at the bank and watch for Mr. Vincent. These de- tectives remained in the president's room during banking hours from that time till noon yesterday. It was just after 12 o'clock, noon, when Mr. Vin- cent came in and inquired for Mr. Nickerson. That gentleman responded,and Mr. Vincent re- marked that he supposed a letter of advice had deen received, identifying him, etc, Mr, Nicker- had,and then was disgusied by the discovery that the two clerks with whom he bad arranged for the summons ofthe detectives ata given signal were out at lunch. He imme- diately engaged Mr. Vinceutin conversation to kill time, and New Orleans business and other topics were discussed. Mr. Vincent produced a ' FLARING PRINTED BUSINESS CARD, giving his address aud piace of business, it being announced in large type that honey was a speciality. Mr. Vincent said that it necessary he could have himself identified by any of several dustness firms here, whose cards he produced from his pocket. Mr. Nickerson said that it was altogether unuecessary, as the letter from New Orleans settled the question. He then asked in what * Mr. Vincent wanted the money. r. Vincent thought that currency would be most satisfactory, as le would be making purchases here and there, and could do better withicash. He did not want the money rigut away,as he had deposited the draft at his hotel (Hotel Barum, Dot liking to carry such a valuable paver Brennd with him. Mr. Nickerson still detainea him by social talk, and at last the clerks returned rom lunch. Then the signal was given, the detectives were summoned from the presideni’s room and the arrest was made. Mr. Vincent was very complacent, aud when the New Orleans telegram was shown bim requested to give an order on the hotel for the check. He said he did not like te give himself away to the hotel people by letting a detective present the order. e compromised by giving it to Mr. Nickerson, who, with Detective Tracy presented it at the hotel and found that Vincent bad pothing on deposit there except his valise. This was captured, and Viucent, when questioned said he knew they wouldn't get anything. He was taken tothe Four Courts, and in his pocket were found two drafts, exactly alike, for 36.500 each, onthe National Park Bank of New York. This indicated that he expectee to swindle the bank in St. Louis and a bank somewhere elise, possibly Kansas City or Chicago, by the same process. A later telegram from New Orleans announced that uo draft had been issued to anybody named Vincent. Tet the drafts were perfectly regular as to printing, as to punch, and as to the signature of the New Orleans cash- ler, which was perfect. The printing of the para- hernalia for the trick must have cost a —- pockets also were clippings detail- a very successful forger in the Last, and suggesting that the man who was doing Wal English pawn tickets, and slips bearing the following addresses: T. gin be Charing Cross, London: Harry New- man, 242 Seventeeuth street; J.

Shap- leighole, 615 Chestnut street, Philadelphia; 3 Cunningham, Atlanta. Georgia; Sioux City—Thomas J. Stone; Omaha—F. H. Davis; St. Louis; John Nickerson; Kansas City— K. Thornton. Vincent has nothing to say more thao that he is awaiting developments. Chief Harrigan — NOTIFIED THE BANKS several weeks agothat this bank cheek forger was operating and might be expected in St. Louis. Vincent arrived in this city from New Orieans last Bunday and passed on to Kansas City, returning to this city for work.“ The capture is certainly one ol immense importance. : ABOUT TOWN.

Church People Think of It—Talks With Dr. Tudor, Dr. Neff, Rev. Wil- son, Dr. Boyd, Revivalist Harrison and Others. The following communication was received at this office this moruing: To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Having been a pretty reguiar attendant at the Harrison revival meetings, and having witnessed the apparent sympathy of the Christian workers with all classes and conditions of men 1 was considerably surprised when, the other evening after one of the meetings, a Christian (friend toid me that not two weeks ago, the Rev. Dr. Tudor of the Cen- tenary M. E. Church, perceiving that two colored couple had taken seais toward the front, in the young people's meeting in the lower room, requested, in fact ordered, them to find seats in the rear of the rooms, and led them there personally. So far as 1 have learned, the parties whose presence in front was objectionable to the reverend gentieman, acted in every way becoming to seekers after God’s truth and light, and Christian charity and kindness. Now, what 1 want to Know ts: Is there a color line in religion? If so, is it not generally sup- posed to be wiped out in times of “great re- ligious awakenlags?” If not, what is the use of thie “renewed baptism of the spirit,” if it. is insufficient to break down a pre judice that 18 as hostile to our Civilizaiion as slavery or polygamy? Even if this revival shall win a thousand converts, will it not bea miserable failure if it shall not root out such an antiquated antipathy? As the bivie teaches that God is no respecter of per- sous,’ can. you isform me where Dr. Tudor gets his rights to make the way to salva- tion easier to a white man than to a diaek? Does atly custom of his church antedate the words of Him who said: “Come unio me, all ye that labor,“ etc.?. Are there any back seats or galleries in the kingdom of heavan? INQUIRER. In regard to the above a reporter of the Post- DISPATCH interviewed a number of prominent miuisiers yesterday onthe general — of discrimination in seating whites aud b ‘ DR. TUDOR SAID: “Yes, the colored people in question were shown to seats in the rear in accordance with the custom of the church, which aims to prevent the promiscuous mineling of the races.“ “Is it the case in all your meetings—preaching and prayer-meetings alike?” “Certainly. We always see that the colored peo- ple attending the regular worship are seated in the gallery, and When they atteud the prayer- meetings they are assigned places in the baek part ot the room. I assure you u's a eustom ol the church that causes tie separation.“ REV. W. T. NEFF of the Central M. E. Church very em- phatically said: ved am opposed to any such distinction on account of color, and do not think it is founded upon evangelical doctrine, which undoubtedly constrains us to fellowship with everybody worthy of it in a Christian sense. Ihavein mind now the old Apestulic Church,- uded Jew and Gentile.’ e J REV. JOHN A. WILSON of the Unitea Presbyterian Cuurch said that col- ored ple could secure ihe best seats in his church if — got in 3 enough, and he didn’t think it interfered with bis services in any way if such people sat in front of the church. Wat wouid you say of any evangelical church that makes a discrimination according to color?” “Well, all I have got tosayisthatl am glad 1 am not a member of it.” REV: DR. BOYD, of the Second Baptist Church, asserted - without aby hesitation, that “the learned and the igno- rant, the rien and the poor, the white and the black, are alike in the temple of Goa.” wt 2 but isn’t it true that such conditions are modified by the locajion of a church north or south?” No, emphatically no. The idea of a man say- ing be is north or south of Christ would be no more preposterous, aud can assuredly say that a distinction of the kind named isnot sancti oned by any cus- tom of my church.“ REV. MR. HARRISON, the boy preacher, was seen at the Lindell just Starting out for a church meeting ut had time to stop and “talk a minute.“ In re ply to the usual question he replied in nis quick, nervous way: “Xes, yes; of course we makea distinction between whites and blacks in the matter of seating. Give the latter the gallery every time. Couidn’t have it any other way. Why, if we should give any one of them the privilege of using the body of the church they would soon crowd out the whites or make it go unpleasant forthem that my work would be much inter- fered wiih. hy, even in Washington and Baltimore, where they are most radical. on this civil rights question, separation in church worship is a recoguized and accepted fact, and I have found it necessary in my experience to adopt the- measures in a place where the eol- ored population is quite numerous. Of course in Rockiord, where there are but a few blacks. there was no need of any special restriction, but here it is entirely different.” “Then you do not condemn Dr. Tu@pr’s we I think h i “Why, no. nk he saw it was the thing to do, and did it.“ —— Local Weather Bulictin, Sr. Lovis, Mo., March 1, 1884. | Weather. | Lt. snow.

When he asked for proof, they showed him a dispatch he had sent, saying thatin Hot Springs they ran people out of town. — THE news of Postmaster WELLS’ appoint- ment reached the readers of the Post-Dis- PATCH sixteen hours in advance of the mora- ing papers, and slightly in advance of his appointment. The great secret of publishing a newspaper consists in knowing what the news is going to be. — THIS morning the Supreme Court is heard declaring that we cannot borrow any out- side money; the insurance men are heard declaring that our business men are noto- riously careless about risks of fire, and the Globe-Democrat is heard howling Poor old Missouri.“ Are there any other pleasant no- tices of this kind floating in the air? — DANA has Jjined in'“ with the rest aud is helping along the old ticket“ movement in that indirect way to which the old ticket’ isso partial.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR, it seems, finds it necessary to assure the office-holders in IIli- nois that their freedom of choice between aspirants for Republican nominations shal) be protected. They have the same right to thelr personal preferences as other citizens, and as long as they exercise that right with- out prejudice to their official duties they shall not be removed by Boss LoGAN nor any other boss. This is a good and whole- tome doctrine to apply in a State where the local patronage boss sets himself up as a rival to the White House candidate. If the President could be persuaded to apply it to Boss Manonn’s and some other States it would be still better and more wholesome, — —— W MAnsnAlLL T. Pox, nephew and nelr of President Polk, was a graduate of West | Polng and lost 6 leg fightlog bravely for the we i>? ae South at Shiloh. His family prestige and his own exceptionally good character and habits made him Treasurer of Tennessee, but did not prevent him from being deciared a de- faulter and sentenced toa long term in the Penitentiary. He died suddenly last night, and the report of his family and physicians that he died of heart disease is received with suspicion, because he had repeatedly de- elared that be would never go to the Peni- tentiary, and it was generally understood that his pending application to the Supreme Court was bound to result in the execution of his sentence in a few days more. SS FIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS. The city of St. Louis is startled over the discovery that there exists in the statutes of Missouri a clause which aims to prevent the loaning of outside capital in Missouri. Why should they be startied? It is ouly a single illustration of the manifold attempts that have been made by a certain c:ass of people in St. Louis to kill every improve- ment in business and property. Two weeks ago the Supreme Court decid- ed that the city of St. Louis had authority to reconstruct the streets. Why was such a decision necessary? It was because the Real Estate Owners’ Protective Association, composed of such men as Gen. D. M. Frost and SAS Bent and others of the richest, and, consequently, the best“ citizens of St. Louis, opposed street reconstruction. We are trying to get some much needed street railway improvements. They are bit- terly opposed by Maxon and SCULLIN and other citizens of St. Louis interested in street railways. The Exposition seheme is facing an in- junction sued out by THomas T. GANTT, one of the richest and, consequently, best citi- zens of St. Louis. Our best citizens made us pay double for Forest Park, and would not allow us to have the park we wanted until we consented to take two that we did not want. It is our best citizens who are fighting the Fair Grounds extension and the Elevated Railway. The Call Board was opposed and delayed for two years by the millers of St. Louis, nearly all of them wealthy and prominent men. The Grain Elevators were fought inch by inch by our wealthy citizens. The Eads Bridge was opposed as fiercely as if it threatened ruin to thecity. Whena Chicago blackmailer came down to fight it, hefound the “best” citizens of St. Louis Willing to join him. Finally, the history of this proscriptive legislation against foreign capital is the his- tor of the repeated, persistent and corrupt attempts of the St. Louis capitalists to drive out foreign capital. The men who wrecked and ruined the local life insurance compa- nies here were at Jefferson City year after year trying to drive foreign life insurance ompauies out of the State. Why should the citizens of St. Louis be | startled when out of so much resistance to the march of improvement one effort is dis- astrously successful? THE POSTMASTERSHIP. The appointment uf RoDNEY WELLS as Postmaster of St. Louis disposes forever of the unjust surmises which ascribed Presi- dent ARTHUR’S delay to selfish political cal- culation. We heard on ali sides that the reason of the delay was ArRTHUR’s desire to secure the Missouri delegation at the conven- tion; that he wanted to nominate a man who could “fix” things, and send an ARTHUR delegation to Chicago. The appointment of WELLS dispels all such motions. He is not a schem er, nor log- roller; he is almost unknown in polities and wholly without influencein the State. He is incapable of pretending to be in a position to ‘‘fix’’ the delegation. The true reason of the delay probably is that the President was unable to find out the truth about the aspirants. In the ques- tion of office-seeking the Republicans of Mis- souri are a band of political hvenas, always ready to rend each other. It is ag much as any man’s reputation is worth to encounter any of the small factions; they are as ready to destroy the last shred of his character as they are te beat him out of his last dollar, and amid political tactics of this kind it must be very hard forthe President to dis- cover any man fit to run a Post Office. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC CASR. Of the Northern Pacific Railroad Line and branches there remain fifty miles uncom- pleted in the State of Wisconsin, to whieha land grant of twenty sections to the mile, or 640,000 acres, attaches; also 450 miles onthe Pacific slope, to which the grant was forty sections to the mile, or 11,520,000 acres. Here, then, is an aggregate of 12,160,000 acres, which Congress clearly can, and cer- tainly should, restore to the public domain. But, from the land grant decisions of the Supreme Court now on record, we infer that that tribunal will not recognize the power of Congress to deprive a road of its land grant by a retroactive deciaration of forfeiture as to the completed parts after permitting the grantee to go on and build the road when the time had elapsed without any declaration of forfeit- ure. The thirty odd millions of acres of grant attached to that part of the road completed since the time limit was passed, July 4 1879, and before any declaration of forfeiture was even proposed in Congress, may be held by the Supreme Court to have been as fully earned with the consent of Congress as was the grant belonging to the 531 miles com- pleted before July 4, 1879, We believe most of the lands now owned by railroads were earned in this way, by the tacit consent of Congress, after the stipu- lated time had elapsed, and that, if Congress: can by a retroactive declaration deprive the by a retroactive declaration strip the other land grant roads of the greater part of their vast possessions. Indeed, as the time limit called for the completion of the entire line in each case, a rigid application of the prin- ciple of this Northern Pacific declaration should restore to the public domain the en- tire land grant in each case where the entire line was not completed within the specified time. But no such principle has bean applied in any other case. On the contrary, where all the other conditions were fulfilled and the grantee had failed only in the matter of Congress to declare the grant forfeited was equivelant to an extension of time, and that every mile of road completed before such declaration legally earned its grant. It seems to us that public sentiment will sustain this rule in every case where the grantee has acted in good faith and built the different case where the grantee fails or makes no attempt to build the road, or bulids a different one, or sells or assigns the grant to another company whose line is not the one contemplated in the act making the grant. — — HOT SPRINGS. The people of Hot Springs have had much to suffer from gambiers, thugs, street shoot- ings and other unpleasant features. But just at present the worst enemies of Hot Springs are the Citizens’ Committee, who yesterday gaye conspicuous illustration of the rule of mob law bx advertising to the world that they had run the agent of the Associated Press out of town. This would bea crime under any eircum- stances. Arkansas is a civilized State. It has a government, its courts are open, its Sheriffs duly authorized, and all who refuse to abide by the law are law-breakers. But we are told that in Hot Springs, where nineteen-twentieths of the citizens support the Citizens’ Committee, the law is power- less and mob law is the only remedy. This is ridiculous. Moreover, complaint is made of the Asso- ciated Press dispatches. The Associated Press has no motive but to tell the truth; its agents have the strictest orders to adhere closely to the facts. If any false statement is made the Associated Press stands ready to give as wide publicity to the correction as it gaye to the statement. The lawles@ness which sets aside the laws of Arkansas to in- flict violence on an agent of the Associated Press is a blunder which is, under the cir- cumstances, worse than a crime. We advise the Citizens’ Committee to look at the matter a little more valmly, to consult their best interests, and to allow the laws of the State to take their course. IN connection with the last dynamite ex- plosion in England the London Times says: It is intolerable that we are exposed to this succession of plots from a nation pro- fessing to be friendly with us.” And that paper thereupon insists that the United States shall prevent the commission of these crimes in England by catching and punish- ishing the plotters thereof in the United States. How egregiously, how exquisitely absurd! If England cannot stop this horrible system of wholesale murder dy detecting the perpetrators in the act, or by catching, con- victing and punishing them after the erimes are committed in England, how inthe name of common sense can we detect or pun- ish the offenders inj this country, when they are only contemplating and plotting crimes to be committed at sume future time and in some foreign jurisdiction? Our laws deal only with overt acts. Our detectives are not mind-readers. On the contrary, quite the reverse.” SATURDAY CHAT. THE presumably delightful mysteries of the Home Circle fancy dress ball are guarded and bastioned by profound secrecy, Nobody put :the initiated are supposed to know what any one wore. A few hints, however, accidentally let fall, throw a little light on the general darkness. There was one costume worn which deserves particular mention as novel and startling in the extreme. A well-Known society young man who is evidently proud of bis figure bas the honor of introducing it for the first time in seiect circies. The costume was excessively simple—tov. ex- cessively simple, in fact, as it consisted of a short, close-fitting red blouse and flesh-colored tights. When this young man appeared on the floor there was a sensation and only the masks saved the party from a stampede, The floor committee held a discussion as to whether the apparition was suffering from absent-mindeduess or tem- porary insanity, and it was proposed to delicate- ly lead him out and lend him something, when a closer inspection relieved the pressure. The young ladies who promenaded with him religious- ly turned their faces in another direction, and when he danced, the feminine masks took on a roseate tinge. The costume was not labeled, and the conjectures as to what it represented were nearly equally divided between “Flood Su fferey” and “Good Night,” with a slight advantage in favor of the latter. THe Beg gar Student,” which has been on the boards at the Grand Opera House this week, is one of the best comic operas recently pro- duced. It has staying po wer unless all signs fall. It has one quality especially which should eom- mend it to the best element of the American pub- lic; it is not only lively and full of action and in- terest, and abounding in pretty, Catching airs,but it?s clean, There is nota suggestion in word or action from beginning to ena of the opera Which would bring a biush to the cheek of the most in- nocent girl. Unfortunately, tnis is som ething that can be said of few comic operas outside of Gilbert and Sullivan’s productio us, and it should be appreciated b ol en — people who object to “THE Man Who Talks,” “The Man Out Between the Acts.” “The . Big Hat.“ and other theatrical nuisanees have been thoroughly disoussed. I want to nail one more. Itis “The Man Who Mums.” This man wants everyboay around him to kn ow that he is familiar with the opera and has heard it before. I sat near him atone of the “Beggar Student“ performances this week and I Wanted to jam Ollendort’s pistol down his throat and biow his vocal organs to pieces with cold snuff. 7 By the way, Borneman, who takes the charac- ter of the old military villain so ‘ Northern Pacific of ali land 860 earned, it can | t. Lovis man, and ought to be time, it has been held that the failure of road provided for in the grant. It is a very St. Louls music lovers, especially among the Ger- mans. Some years ago he was a prominent mem- ber of several sioging socities, and was pri bass in Hobelmann’s company when it was af tho old Apollo Theater, where Eawards’ Comique oF Fourth Street Opera House now la. Borneman is am excellent comedlan and a thoroughly good fel- jow, and in his best days was a good basso, but age and wear are beginning to tell heavily on his “yolce. One or two of the papers criticised Borne- man for his accent, but the truth is itis natural and not ‘Assumed. I HAVE frequently heard it ! timated that a crowd of women, “ especially of women bent on curiosity, is infinitely more unmanageable, selfish and individually assertive, not to call i} 4 harsher term, than an equal number of men, abd ‘any one who saw the funeral of Mrs. Paramore must have been convinced of the fact. Of all the ‘jostling, wrangling throngs and disgraceiul ex- hibitions of selfishness, effrontery and cheek,- prompted by greedy curiosity, this was the worst. A greater part of the people there were brought by curiosity, pure and simple, and neither respect for the dead nor regard for the occasion and cir- cumstances seemed to check in the least their dis- position to satisfy it. They appeared to hook at the whole thing asashow. The most disgusted man I ever saw was a broad-shouldered friend of mine who had been used as a coign of vantage by an unknown woman. She placed her hands on nis shoulders and with a boost from a friend climbed up on him and stayed there until she had seen all she wanted to. What is remarkable about the whole affair is that the chief actors were persons of presumably good breeding, who ought to have known better. I SEE that both Patti aud Gerster sing in Den- ver this week, and both are expected to go on to San Francisco. The report that Gerster was not going West on account of financial difficulties with Col. Mapleson, and the impressario’s declar- ation that he never contemplated taking Patti West; then finally the sudden change of plans by which both went West is ali inexplicable to one who is not cognizant of the ins and outs, AS & matter of fact, Gerster came near not going West, and Col. Mapleson never contemplated any- thing eise but taking Patti with him to San Fran- cisco. The situation was one not at all strange to a grand opera company, aud Mapleson’s conduct was a bit of masterly diplomacy of which only an experienced director would be capable. I have the true bistory of the whole matter from the very best authority, and its culmination was an amusing and sensational scene at the Southern at about midnight of Saturday last. WITHIN two hours of the time when the special train which was to convey the opera company to Kansas City was to start, Madame Gerster and her husband were snugly tucked in bed, and Col. Mapieson was raving and tearing his hair over a positive declaration of the prima donna that she would not go West, but had determined to remain where she was, and that no amount of pleadigg; praying or threats could move ber from her aetermination. It eame about in this way. Madame Gerster is horriviy jealous of Madame Patti, and thinks that she is entitled to the same recompense, the same prices for seats to her per- formances, and the same number of listeners as the latter, consequently she has been writhing under comparison and has been in atowering bad humor during the whole season. Her sudden flight from Baltimore, ieaving her audience in the lurch, Was occasioned by the fact that, although she had sung upwards of a dozen times in that | city, aod Patti not at all, twice as much was asked for seats on Patti nights as on ber nights, and the demand was strong. She told Col. Mapleson positively that if Patti went to San Fran- cisco she would not go, and hence the asser- tion of the cunning Colonel that he never contemplated taking Patti. He imag- ined that he would get Gerster to Denver, where Patti would meet them, and that she would then be too far west toturn back. The diva got wind of this scheme, however, just before the time for departure, and acted promptly by sending Dr. Gardini to bed, tumbling in herself and sending for the impressario, with the result described. Signor Franchi, who had been dining with Mme. Patti, happened to pass the room and heard the racket. He ran back and told Mme. Patti what was up. Then the little prima donua rose to the operatic heroic. Drawing hérself up she said to Franchi: “Go ana tell Col. Mapleson that I will singin Mme. Gerster’s place without contract or conditions.” The delighted old geu- tleman ¢ried Bravo!“ embraced the diva, and ran out and brought in Col. Mapleson, to whom the words were repeated. The Colonel may be presumed to have fallen on ber neck and kissed her—mentaily at least—for this generous offer was a godsend that ended all his troubles. He changed his tone to the oddurate diva in bed, and a little legal logic induced ber to consent to go as far as St. Joseph anyhow. Her course after that was considered uncertain, but as she is in Denver 1 suppose she concluded to submit to the inev- itable as gracefully as possi ble. PEOPLE wonder how Col. Mapleson could make any money on his St. Louis busines. with his ex- penses and the salaries he is alleged to pay. It is time to prick the high-salary bubbles. I will stick a pin into one of them. Gerster is credited with receiving $1,500 every time she sings, while 1 Know very certainly that she gets only §800, an advance Of 6200 over ber last year’s salary. Seven hundred dollars make a big hole in expenses, os- 1 when the sum is subtracted four times in a Week. . THE WEEK ABROAD. The agitation over the condition of outcast Lon- don has resulted in a movement to give the mis- erable wretches who are huddled together in vile dens, or are without any sheiter at all, compara- tively comfortable lodging places and to otherwise alleviate their sufferings. In the meanwhile Lon- don society has found a new occupation to re- tieve the tedium of balls, dinners, theaters and re- ceptions, and bas added a new word to the English language to express it. The latest coinage is the vyerdpto “slum,” with all the variations that a word is capable of, and the act of ‘‘ slumming ” is the pilgrimage of a grand dame through the loathsome habitations of degraded and poverty stricken bumanity, with her train of admirers and an escort of two armed detectives. These so- called charitable excursions are extremely popu- laramong society ladies, and serve as spice to the mono tony of their existence. A FrencH philosopher has been coilecting statistics of divorce and has been drawing con- clusions from them which are interesting and admirably, is a Nick, Cannes and Monte Carlo, the bealth and remembered by gambling resorts of European society, are getting ‘somewhat surprising. He divides all countries ‘into three groups; group A. in which divorces average from 1to5 in 1,000 marriages; group B, in which they run from s to 10, and group O, in 'which they run from 11 to 28. The Russians, Italians and Scotch are among the first group. The Swedes, Norwegians, Duich and Hungarians are in the second, while the third iaciudes all other European countries, The laws of a country have no influence on divorce. he thinks, because the statistics differ greatly in countries haviug the same laws and in provinces of the same coun- try, such as Denmark and Norway and the can- tons of Lucerne and Appenzell, where the two extremes are found, There are many more 4i- yorces in Protestant than in Catholic countries. Divorces, also, are frequent amoag artists and met of letters. A singular observation is that the statistics of suicides and divorces run tel, Both are cheeked by the birtn of children, The jecturer states that where the husband is from five to twenty-five years older than the wife the percentage of divorces reaches 184 ln 1,000; where be is more than twenty-five it falls to 1 per cent. thetr full share of attention from the newspapers. A murder and suicide of man and wife at Nice, and two suicides in close succession are directing the shafts of the anti-cambling people inst the evil, and a petition has been presen to the Pope praying for the abolition of it. With respect to Nice, a curious statement is made by the Paris Morning News to the effect that this popular “health resort“ is the most unhealthy city on the globe, The death rate in every 1,000 runs as fol- lows: London, 22; Paris, 28: New York, 25; Nice, 44. The cause of this insalubrity is said to de the fact that Nice is built on the decayed debris of forest vegetation, and catches and retains a large amount of this debris from the mountain torrents. It is not due to the presence of invalids, because the excessive mortality runs through the whole year. A SINGULAR fancy of an Indian prince has just been given shape by an English glass manufact- urer. It is a throne df eut glass. From the back and arms of the throne there spring pillars, sup- porting a dome-shaped canopy, above which appears a large star. Every portion of the surface has been cut, the pine-shaped finials which surmount the arms having no less than 324facets. The orna- mentation is very elaborate, and when on ex- hibition with two electric lights und er the dome it looks hike an enormous diamond. ACCORDING to the Militarische Nachrichten the work of constructing a cana: to unite the waters of the Baltic with the North Sea is about to be- gin. The canal will commence at a point on the Elbe, between Brunsbuttee and St. Maga- rethen, and will end at the Bay of Kiel, near Haltenan, south of the Friederichfori fortiflea- tions. It will be ninety-seven kilometres long, one hundred metres wide, and will have a depth at low water of nine metres, so that the largest vessels may passin both directions in all tides. Germany will control the canal, and thus will be able to transfer her men-of-war witbout making the passage of the Belt, which may be impeded by Denmark at any time. Tue Viennese newspapers are engaged in a warm discussion on the subject of duellug, aris- ing from the dismissal of a young officer from the army because he refused to accept a challenge. Au officer thought he had been insulted by a fel- low officer, and, the explanation not being entire- ly satisfactory, sent him a challenge. The chal- lenge was declined on the ground that “dueling was against religion, against reason, and con- science, and aiso because it is forbidden both by the civil and the military law.“ The matter was Drought before a court of honor, which decided that ou accouat of his refusal the officer be de- prived of his commission and rank. MEN OF MARK. Ex-Ma rox PALMER of Boston rejoices that Wendell Phillips died a Democrat. TRE Judges of the New York Court of Appeals began on Monday to wear, while on the bench, black gowns of heavy gros-grain silk. SERGEANT O'KEEFE, for many years the sign- al service officer on Pike’s Peak, has disappeared mysteriously from his home in Denver. MATTHEW ARNOLD frankiy told a Boston re- porter that bis primary object in coming to this country was to make money, and that his expecta- tions in this respect had been fuifilled. ALTHOUGH Captain Howgate, the defaulter, is supposed to be missing, he was found easily in Washington the other day when it became neces- sary to secure his signature to a tiile deed. D. R. LOCKE, the Nasby“ of past campaigns has broken away from the regular Republicans aud has made of his paper, the Blade, of Toledo, an uncompromising Probibition journal. W. K. THORN, jr., and another alleged Ameri- can, Alfred Torrance, recently took part as per- formers in an amateur circus at Pau, and with great success, showiug themselves skillful riders. GEN. G. T. BEAUREGARD has become a mem- ber of the New Orleans Cremation Association, and Pere Hyacinthe, still lecturing in that city, has publicly expressed his approval of the prin- ciples of the society, MR. Boorn finds the Boston public fickle. At his appearance there when the present season opened the houses were filled; this time, in the same theater, the capricious theater-goers leave him to play before small audiences. CHARLES BRADLAUGH, the English Partiament- ary Atheist, resembles Henry Ward Beecher, greatly in personal appearance. He is about the same size, but does not wear his hair as long as Mr. Beecher does. _ MaJgor BURKE of the New Orleans Times-Dem- ocrat, and General James Eustis, arich man with personal traditions of plantation aristocracy, are the opponents of Senator Jonas in his contest for re-election. The Legisiature that will select the successor of Mr. Jonas is to be chosen in April. VicToR HUGO’s new house, when he builds it, will be on a lot he lately has bought on the ave- nue named after him, and although he is 82 he has made all his plansfor his future residence, even to the planting of the adjacent garden, the fruits of which he expects to long live to enjoy. WOMEN OF THE WORLD. Tux price of Circassian girls has lately dropped to about $600, or the lowest figure ever known. MaRY ANDERSON'S London house is on Urom- well road. After the play she goes home and sits dogn and thinks about Oliver. A WOMAN has finally been admitted to practice law in Connecticut,and the country can lean back and take a rest for a few weeks.

Miss JULIA, daughter of tne late Gen. Stone- wall Jackson, already is conspicuous as an Amer- ican belle in French and English “best” society and she threatens to eclipse Miss Chamberlain. A LATE accession to the ranks of royal authors is the Infanta Donna Paz, The Poestas de Paz de Bordon“ have been printed in an edition ro- stricted to 150 copies, not intended for sale. ACCORDING to M. Victor Tissot, the Queen of Saxony is a model housekeeper. She excels in the making of jam, and all the cupboards in the palace are full of confettions prepared by her own hands, but unfortunately there are no chil- aren there to eat them. Tun Paris Figaro says: “Mrs. Morton’s hus- band, being a partner in a large commercial firm in New York, can afford to devote large sums of money to his Wife’s receptions, Mrs. Morton gives balis at which the Boston flourishes and from which flirtation is by bo means banished,” Ox would think, from the disturbance made in London over the necession of a dissolute woman to the title of Duchess of Grafton, that such things were unknown to the peerage. If the What the Editors of the New York Jon rnalg Are Saying To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Tonk. March 1.— Tue Wor p says, Last year George Hoadly was elected Governor of Ohio on the largest vote ever cast in th. s ., with the exception of Garfield’s Prsiie.:),) year, by a clear majority over the Repu)...

Oniy on such a piatiorm or somethin, like it cau the electoral vote of New York be secured for the Democratic candidate for Pres- dent in this year’s election.” THE SUN. The Sun m reply to a question says: ‘So far ay we are able to understand and appreciate the temper of the country regarding this subject, the majority of voters throughout the United states are protectionists, and the free traders and par. tisans of a tariff for revenue only are in the my. ority. And while we are not abie to tell why, the relative strength of bose two schools c thinkers in the ranks of the Democracy it is plain that Mr. Morrison’s deciaraiion » opinion would first ot ali divide the Democrat party, and the worst thing that can bappeu to 4 political party is to be divided on the eve of ag election.’ THE TIMES. The Times says: “The report of the Civil Sen vice Commission has been sent to Congress by tue Presideut. Mr. Arthur congratulates Congress and the people ou the good results wüten the law has already accomplished,’ and ‘avoys Lis conviec. tion that it will henceforth prove to be of still more sigoal benent to the pub- lic service.’ He ‘heartily commends the zeal and fidelity of the Commissiouers and their suggestions for further legislation,’ and he ‘advises the making of such an appropriation as shall be adequate for their needs.’ So far so good.” TAE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: It looks as if Mr. Randa; appropriation committee were going to be guilty of the old Democratic trick of cutting down ap propriations below the necessities of the Federa! Government in order to make a show of econoiny before the country, „ proof «(lof tui is found in the Post Office appropriation Dill as finally decided upon in committee. A heavy biow is struck in it ai the efficiency of the railway service, anda riviculous Clause directs that no postmaster shall 18 over $4,000 u year, including, of course, the New York post office. The saving which Mr. Rinaal! Will say Can be made in this way {is $5,000,000. Undoubtedly he hopes the Democratic party's po- litical capital will be inereased in proportion, but it win not. The country understands this econo my trick too weil. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. E. J. H.- The Sunday Globe-Democrat requires 3 cents for postage. Moses (Sparta, III.)

A more deliberate and brutal murder I have never heard of.

Nu vonk, March 1.—The hostility of Gen. C. Pp, Stone to the English Goverumeut is occa ioned dy bis belief that their interference with Egyp- tian matters cost him his commission ag chief of the Khedive’s staff. It was while Gen. Stone bad charge of the army of Egypt that the colonels under Arabi Pasha mutinied and turned up the miktary forces of Tewhk generally. From the forced retirement of Ismail from the throne, the soldiers began to grow intractable. They hated to serve under foretgn officers because that sys- tem pus an end to all hopes of promotion the native soldiers. It was simply this, and nothing more, that was the first straw towards the load which Arabi ultimately wok to market. Stone had not the right sort of apility to Keep his underlings th supjection, and iis jndecision allowed the opposition to grow be- youd bisreach. He was not popular amoung his je\iow officers in Egypt, Chaille Long Bey—whieh js tbe Orieutal Way of calling him Col, Chuille Long—toid me in Paris a year ago It was Gen. tolles jealousy thatcaused him to leave the xyggotian army.

NEw YorK, Marci 1.—The inquespin the case of Salmi Morse was concluded yesterday. Imme- diately in front of the railing and near the stove sat Miss Blackburn, pensive with. a saddened countenauce. The luster that was visible in her large, dark eyes on the first day of the investiga- tion was lacking, While the pink color in her cheeks bad given way toja pale, haggard look. She again wore her large Gainesborough hat, a little further down on her forelead than usual, partially 1 nher eyes. For tue heavy cloth dress sue had substituted another ono dark brown merino. During the proceedings she uubuttoned her long sealekin dolman and threw it open, disciosing a luce collar fastened by a diamond pin. Mary MeCullagh, the Assistant janitress of the house where Miss Biackburn resides, testified wnen Mr. Me- Givney cauie out of the room ne was excited and taiked fast. When 1 went up stairs I saw Miss Blackburn coming out of the front room. She had on her night dress.“ Did you say anything to her?“ “No, sir. cause Il knew there was a row and I got away as soon as I could. I heard footsieps in the hall after l returned down stairs. Miss Blackburn tus hed out alter Mr.McGivuey as I was olug down stairs.” The next witness was Mr. John L. O'Sullivan, of No. 229 West Twenty-third street, formerly United States Minister to Portugal. He said ue last suw Mr. Morse on the Monday before Lis death, He Kuew Morse Was despondent quite frequently since the failure of the Passion Play.“ and he often said he wished God would take unn from this life. Henry Eschenbach, proprivtor of the Centennial Hotei, at No. 850 Rignth avenue, and George A. Bossard, living at the Lot@, said they saw Mr. McGivney when he came inw ihe House and went out again. Mr. McGivney being recalled, the Corover asked him what conversa- tion he had with Mr. Eschenbach on the nigut When he applied for a room and registered as Mr. Thompson. Headmitied REGISTERING AS THOMPSON, but denied waving said he was a detective. “What did you do when you left Miss Black- burn’s resideace?” “I went back to the hotel.“ Miss Blackburn threaded her way through the throng to the witness stand, She looked uneasy, as if she wondered what more was wanted of her, and she col ored deeply as the coroner slowly asked, Wuen ou were sworn, you gave your name as Mary C. lackburo. Is that your rizlt name?“ ‘Yes sir; that is my maiden name. My father is Judge Blackburn of California. He lives there now.“ „What is your husband’s name?“ “My husband is dead. His name was Harry J. Morton.“ „How long has he been dead?” asked the coro- ner reverently. “Five years.” “Where were you married?” “In Virginia City, Nev.” “How long ago?” In 1875.“ And since then you have gone by your maiden ¢?” If Ida Brown gets probability that she Care herealter as to L. R. “Yes, sir- „Have you been married since?“ “No, sir; I have not.“ “I presume Mr. Morse your husband?“ “Yes, sir; he was.” “And you always went on maiden same?’ „Always.“ “In regard to Mrs. McCullagh’s statement about seeing you come out of your room in your night dress: Was that correct?’ “No, sir. It was not correct. She came home from the theater after us and I did not see her again until the next day.“ Coroner Levy then held up a letter written on a sheet of note paper, which, when folaed, had a corner burned off, so that wien opened it was FULL OF LARGE HOLES, and said: “Miss Blackburn, do you recognize the writing in that letter?“ “No, sir,“ she replied, after scrutinizing it. “Have you ever been corresponding with any one named Walter?“ „No, sir; I have not.“ “who was the Walter mentioned inthe tele- gram from San Francisco anuouncing the death of Mr. Morse“ . — meee of my brother.” ‘What is bis name?” was asked at the reques of counsel for Mr. MceGivuey. 8 “Walter Hartwell,” she said, with emphasis, adding sarcastically as she turned to the counsel, ving at No, 36 Garry street, U you want to the stage under your 411 u. know.“ Tuank you,” said the counsel. The letter in question was foundin Miss Black- burn’s apartments, minus the envelope, aud be- gan, 1 10 own dear wife,” and aftera profession of much love and endearing expressions, closed with, Your loving husbaud, alter.“ In charging the jury the Coroner remarked that there were two theories advanced—one, that Mr. Morse came to his death by drowning, either acei- dental or intentional; and the other that it was the result of violence.

A New Discovery Which Will Revolutionize Things. - — Description of the Wonderful Invention --Bi-Sulphide of Carbon the Agency-- A Syndicate With a Capital of $25,- 000,000 Formed. CHICAGO, March 1.—The announcement is made of the discovery of a new and remarkable motor, known as “the triple thermic-motor.” The pew motive power is the vapor of bi-sulphide of car- bon. It hag been in practical use in driving a sixty-horse power engine for six months past in a cement paving manufactory. on West Forty-sixth street, New York. The dis- coverer of the means of applying the new power and the inventor of the machinery who adapted its use is W. S. Colwell, formeriy of Pittsburg, who, it is claimed, bas been at work for many years on an application of the same material frum which the vapor is generated. Bi-sulphide of car- bon is a discovery of the last century. The foree and power of the vapor in its application far surpasses that of steam, and its application and regulation is already under more perfect safe control than steam. The invention (or discovery) consists in evolving bi-sulphide of carbon into a vapor for operating machinery by generating heat ina generator and transferring it into a vessel containing bi-suiphid of carbon. The latent neat of the steam is utilized into vapor, only 118° being necessary to produce this vapor. A prominent engineer of Chicago, giving the result of his examination of the new motor, says: “Isaw a fifteen-horse power boiler with very little fire under it generating steam which generated the new motor, which in turn rau anengine of sixty-horse power.” A syndicate has been formed, which controls the invention and all of its patents, with a capital stock of ¢25,- 000,000, of which $8,000,000 has already been real- ized on the stock.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. ; WASHINGTON, Mareh 1.—While Secretary Folger was engaged this morning in dictating let- ters to bis private secretary, he was startled by the sound of a fetninine shriek in the hall and the wild claiter of a pair of French boot heeis. Then his door was burst open without any ceremony by a pale-faced woman iu black, a clerk in the Treasury, who came with the startling announce- ment that some of the clerks were engaged in murdering each otherin the Supervising Archi- tecl’s office. Sue anpounced in a most tragic man- ner that she had seen with her own startied eyes one man’s throat cut and that a stream of blood was flowing down through the lower corridor. After makiug this announcement she showed signs of fainting io the private secretary’s arms. ne uproar in the Arehitect’s office was so great for four or five minutes that none of the colored aides-de-camp ven- tured nearer than the stairs above it. For a ume a wild panic prevailed throughout the Treasury, and public business was suspended for ten or fifteen minutes, The occasion of all the uproar was ibe formal jeave-taking of Thompson, the Chief Compiler in the Architects office. Thompson isa very tall, broad-shouiderea, hot- headed Svotchman. He was the especial friend of Hill wuen he was Architect. Bell, the present Architect, made up his mud afew weeks ago to remove Thompsou. The latter believed that BELL’S MIND WAS POISONED against him by some of the couspirators who were anxious to have him out of the way so they could secure promotion. He was engaged by the Potomac Sandstove Company, but this soothing business fact did not appear to satisfy him. nen he entered the office this morning be aunounced that as a fare- weil ceremony he proposed to thrash all the clerks in tue office so as to make sure of punish- ing those who bad slaudered him. He began with J. C. Blackwell and L. J. Fenton. He accused Blackwell of slauderiug him, and in the course of an animated conversation which followed he kneckec Blackwell down under the desk. Fenton tien threw a stone paper weicht at Thompson, anticipating by a few seconds tne thrashing that was ee to bim by bis turn. The throwing of the cube bastened his punish- In this last struggle a quart bottle of red Thompson ou the head. It broke, and the red fluid streamed down the side ot his face aud flowed down the corridor. It Was the sight of this ink which so frighteued the femaie clerk, Who ran screaming murder“ to the Secretary. After the twoclerks had been laid out on the floor Thompson grabbeda pole used for lowering Window shades and charged in the direction of the other flying clerks, who took ref- uge under desks or else stampeded down the cor- ridors. Thompson finding no one willing to con- front him, very soon cooled of. He announced, with a chuekle, that he hopea this would be a good lesson to future slanderers and quietly resumed tue duties of his desk. He was not disturbed again during the day. His larewell appearance-in tue architect’s Office is one that will be long remem- bered. LEAH-RIGSBY MURDER CASE. Put Out of a Church—Arrested for Infanti- cide—Crushed to Death.

A Gentleman who is Posted Describes Their vir Origin and Their Benefit. W. R. Padaock, a grain dealer at Leavenworth, Kan., was on Chauge to-day. He says there is an immense amount of corn in Kansas, and that he looks for larger shipments to St. Louis and Chicago in the next thirty days than has yet been made on the crop. Yet, he sys, the farmers of Kansas, knowing they pave the finest crop in the country, will pot sell all their stock of corn, and will probably hold until another large crop is as- sured unless extraordinaruy high prices were pald them. “If,” said he, a corner was run in July corn, it would bring ont corn that ts two years old. I have a friend now tiat has a large amount of 1882 corn still on hand. Speaking of wheat, Mr. Paddock stated that it looks and promises well.

WASHINGTON, February 28, 1884.—The contrast between yesterday and the preceding days was very great, Monday and Tuesday were very busy aays. On Wednesday there was silence in the social world, and the church services of Ash Wednesday were the only events to remind the observer that Washington has had society. To- night, however, the President isto give a dinner at the White Heuse. To-morrow there are to be several quiet dinners among Congressmen nd other people in the semi-social politica! world, and on Saturday Mrs. McElroy and Mrs. Chaudler give their usual Saturday re- ceptions. The President, it must be admitted, is not setiing a very excellent “ee? for a man whois claimed by the most fashionable Episco- al church of the 1 & His Tuesday night recep- — was the most brilliant of the series, to which nobody of course could ebject, and to-night be ives ove of his series of dinners to ongressmen. Mrs. McKiroy, it is announced, will continue ber Saturday receptions durin Lent and will be assisted in receiving by, sever: ladies of prommence this week. Only oue uf the | Cabinet ladies, Mrs. Frelinghuysen, will bold the usual Weduesday Cabinet receptions during Leut, and these are to be of an informal charac- ter. Even that, however, was dispensed witn yesteiday, and the streets in the tashionabie quarters, which are asually busy with Car- riages aad cards on Wegnesday, were extremely quiet yesterday. he principal event of Mondayygwas Mrs. Senator Cameron’s tea given in honor of heir niece, Mrs. Gulick- Brown, who has been her guest for the past week. Senator Cameron is tn ississippi, rigorously turning the crank of the outrage mill, but the re- ception went on just the same. Among those present were Mrs. Teller, Mrs. Logan, Mrs. Senator Cullom and danghter, Mrs. Pres- ton Powers, Mrs. Senator Mahone, Senator and Mrs. Ingalls, the Baroness Fara, and manv more. Mrs. Cameron received in a rich toilette of white silk, wiih Valenciennes and draperies of chantilly lace, Mrs. Gulick-Brown, her niece, wore lilac silk and brocade velvet, with draperies of lilac tulle. The tea was cou- sidered by many one of the most brilliant events of this nature given during the season. Tuesday was THE GREAT DAY OF THE WEEK. The leading event of the day was the President’s reception, to witch members of Congress and the d@iplomaiic corps were invited. “to meet the army and navy officers.” In the afternoou Mrs. Carliste's tea at the Riggs House was largely attended. Six tuodred cards bad been issued, and there were few regrets. Prof. Bell, of telephone fame, gave a reception at „ Broadhead's Folly,” which was largely altended. Prot. Bell’s home is an elegant house on Scoit Circle, built py Lieut. Broadhead, of the army, at au expense beyoud that warranted by the foi tune which be married, and although be quickly got, rid of Tue house and a part of * tiie fortune with it it has ever since been known as “Broaahead’s Folly.” On the same evening the Kussian Minister gave a dinver in honor of Nilsson, the songstress, which Was attended by a uumber of diplomats and peo le of prominence in the social world. Senator- sherman, who has had the bad taste to fix his reception vigkt for Tuesday, the evening upon which the Presideat has, all through February,re- ceived members of Congress by luvitation,opeued his doors as usuai op tuat evening.Mrs. Caritsle's tea on Tuesday evening Was the most brilliant event of this kind in the ci.y dGuiing the season. It was given at the Kigys House, where the Speaker aud wife have made their homed during the season, She stood wits her assistants in the first of the lurge parlors of the hotel, which were used on this occasion. A siringed orchestra was stationed at tue end of the long parlor, aud fur- nished attractive selectious during the alteraoun, An apartment at the eud of the corridor Was used lor a relreshment room, where attentive waiters served coffee, chocelaie, tea, salads, jellies, cro- quettes, oysters, and other substantiais to the guests. MRS. CARLISLE received in a toilet of peacuck blue brocaded vel- vet, with petticoat front of white satin brocaded wich lace, aud sue Was assisted by Mrs. Sevier of New Orleaus, MrsW. George. Steele of Ludiana, Mrs. J. E. Cannon of Liiuois, Miss Cannou, Miss Armstrong of Missouri, Mrs. N. C. Deering ol Iowa, and Miss Paige of Washington. Mrs. Se- vier’s toilet was of waite satin, entirely covered with an overdress of ruse guipure,wilh ornaments of black and white pearls and dlamonds. Mrs. Steele wore white satin and brocade, with point lace triminings and diamond ornaments. Mrs. Canuon was attirek in black satin, embroidered in panels with wild roses and diamond orva- men's, and Miss Cannow in pale blue, with raleucienues lace aud Bonssilene roses.

Miss Page wore a trained dress of white silk with trim- mings of ducbesse lace, The company inuciuded pearly every One prominent in diptomatie, official and social life. he President’s reception on Tuesday eveuing was unusually large and bril- liant, and was made especially interesting by tue PRESENCE OF MADAME NILLSON, who went direct from the residence of the Rus- sian Minister. Sue was accompanied by the Swedisii Minister, Count Lewennaupt, and was presented o the Presideat y thut official. She was attired in a dress of lemon color brocade, the skirt of which was slashed with pale blue O1- toman sik and a heavily beaded pearl lace. The low Knot of her coiffure was covered with.a cres- cent of dlamonds, jewels also 2 gy from her ears and neck. On the left of ner low corsage were attached the various medals aud orders con- ferred by royalty in recognition of her musical ifts. o sooner Was Mt rumored that Mme. son had appeared than diplomats and civilians formed a brilliant circle around the great singer. The officers ef the Army and Navy, with’ the ladies of their families, the members of the Dipiomatic Corps, Jusiices of the Supreme Coult, and Seuators aud Representatives were well rep- rese€uted, Among tee handsome costumes were those of Mrs. Phil Sheridan, who wore white satin beaded with pearis; Miss Frelinghuysen, black satin and lace; Miss Lucy Frelinghuysen, blac« net, beaded with gold; Mrs. McKeeaer, pink vel- vel, broc.de and lilac satin; Mrs. Justice Miller. lilac brocade and Diack lace; Mrs. Kicketts, Diack Satin wilh white and black brocade; Madam, de Siruve, black silk shot with goid; Countess d’Arschot, cardinal satin and brocade; Madam Nogueiras, lilac Oituman silk aud velvet. brocade; Mrs. Blaine, mauve satin, plush and brocade; Mrs. Heury Sanaford, white satin eambroiuered in stiver; Mrs. Van Buren, black net and gold lace; Mrs. Leiter, black satlu and net with iridescent beading; Madam Du- prey de Lome, white satin with turquoise orna- ments; Mrs. Frauk Steele, white sutiu with net- wo.

THE SEASON OF ELBGANT COSTUMES, however, is ver ior the preseut at least, and the velvets and saiins aud Lbrocades and plushes are being laid away until next winter. “What becomes of all the elegant dresses that society ladies wear?” th@ Post-DispaTcu currespondeut asked ay vf a lady thoroughiy conversaut in matters of that nature. Of course a lady in society, alter her dress has been once or twice described by the daily papers, does not want Lo appear in li again, does she?” „Oh,“ she laughed, “that’s easily remedied. A few changes in trimming, in front a few bows and iace, Will trausform à dress in such a manner that not even the most acute society reporter or the most observing society lady could recognize It. Ol), ae, bless you, these dresses cost too mach to be throwu aside after two or three evenings’ wear, The faci is they are worn five or six years, perhaps longer in mauy lustauces.“ But don’t fashions change se much that it is difficult to make them serviceable any length of time?’ “No” was the reply; “the fashions do not change as much as is geucrally sup Dy you men who don’t Know auytuing about such matters. The fashions for the past Ove or ten years have changed very little. Of course there isa litt change such as in the manner of draping an trimming, but Comparatively Mitle. The dresses worn this season are laid away now until early next fail, then tuen are lakeu to some Competent dressmaker, and tue Coming fashions studied, and they are refitted for the cOmiug season, Seme- times they ured a litle change here or there aud perhaps a new [rout or some new lace, but it is sur geet apy one not conversant wi these matters to know how tong service, Society must have ten or a — 8 one be from $100 to $500 apiece. You cannot get an evening — that is at all the thing for less than 100, and realiy that wil] be ouly a very plain ove. ou can get up a very one for $200 or $250, suitable for evening wear. If it is for day wear, though, it will cost more than that, say $500. After this stock is laid in the soclety lady, will vot find it necessary Ww buy more than two or three® dresses each year, the remainder of her thousand dollars she cdu use in refitting the old ones and trans- forming them so that they will not be recognized.’ “Evening dresses, you see. are less expensive than those for day wear?” “Yes, decideaiy so. You can use a class of ma- terial for evening dresses that could not possibly be used for day wear. The cheap material looks as well by gas light and answers ihe Same purpose that the more expeusive one would. There ts a great deal of sham even in the best society. wg “Yet these cheap evening dresses you say cost from $150 to 82507“ „Fes, and sometimes more.“ “Aud the more expensive ones for day wear?” “Cost from $350 to $1,000 a piece. A first-class dress, such as can be gotten up in this country, will cost $500 while those purchased abroad cost more than that.” “Are many of the costumes worn here made abroad?” “On, yes. Tou can scarcely go to a reception or society event of any importance without see- ing some of Wortn’s or other Parissau or London costumes. Nearly all the prominent society ladies here go abroad every four or five yeuis, and while there, lay in a quite large stock of dresses, It is po uncommou thing for ladies of that class, when they return from Europe to bring four or tive thousand doliacs’ wortu of dresses with them. You see lor the sort of dresses they can get abroad tu.ey may pay as high as a thousand dollars, and very Often as high as $750 and $1,000.” “And are these seen very often in society here?“ “Quite often. At tie President's reception she costumes worn bv the ladies who receive with hint are usually very expensive. Those worn by ladies not receiving are not 80 expensive as a rule. Ladies in social lite Usuaily wear their best and most expensive dresses at nome and in receiving their visitors there. When the President asks ihem to assist him in receiving, of course they desire to appear in as good form as they would im their own homes.” This is perhaps the explanation of the assertion constantly made that tuere is no money to be saved from the salary of a Cabinet officer or member of Congress. When a mau accus- tomed to a quiet life and ordinary household expenses comes to Washiugton and is ebliged to expend $5,000 gr 810,000 AS A FUND FOR HIS WIFE’S DRESSING during a period of four or Si years bere, and to annuaily expend from one thousand to two thoa- saud dollars for the same purpose, It naturally has a depressing influence on the salary of $5,000 or $8,000, as is the Gase with Seaators or memveé:s of tie Cabinet. Probably the most expensive dresser in the present Cavinet fam- ilies is Mrs. Frelinghuysen. Her collection of dresses is said by those whostudy matters olf this sort to be very large and very costly. Mrs. Chandler rauks uext, having several Parisian cos- tunes in her wardrobe. Mrs. Gresham next, Mis. Teller next and Mrs. Lincoln probably last. Mrs. Blaine does not diess very capensively, though her costumes in former years, Wien her husband held official position, were very elezait. Mrs. Garlisle's costumes tuis wiuter have been very handsome, some of them {rom abroad, though not a few of them have been made by her own dressmaker at her Kentucky home. Mrs. Randall dresses very plainiy, as she dia during the entire period of her husbaud's ca- reer as Speaker of the House. NOTES. Mrs. Gresham gave a “breakfast” on Tuesday in honor of Mrs. McEiroy. Among those invited to meet her were Mrs. Lincoin, Mrs. Chandler. Mrs. Brewster, Mrs, Teller, Mrs. Waite and Mrs. Kinsley. Mrs. Frelinghuysen, who ommted her usual Wednesday reception yesierday, announced that she will receive informally during Leut, begin- bing with next week. Miss Negueiras, the daughter of the Portugese Miuister Viscount das Nogueiras,kas made sucu a che em With ber singing class, wuich is made up rom young ladies in seciai cirvies nere, that her [rieuds are endeavoriug to persuade ner to give a pubiic eutertaimmeut. Mrs. Logan, wre could not consent to hold a re- ception ou Ash Wednesday, anuounces that sbe will resuine her receptious informally next week. An immense Drum. The Hallowell Granite Company are at present engaged on the National monument to be erected at Yorktown, Va. They have just commenced on the drum“ or first piece of the column. it is to be, when finished, vine feet six inches in diameter and nine feet high. Thirteen ailegorical fig- ures in das relief are to be carved around it. This work will be in charge of Italian sculptors in the constant employ of the company. It is doubtful if there is another place in the country where sueh stones can be quarried. The derrick to be used in erecting this monument is now being con- stracted in Boston. The mast, a single stick, will be 102 feet long, with a boom ninety-eight feet. They were cut in Oregon and brougut around Cape Horn, as trees suitable to make them of could not be found lu any other part of the coun- try. The monument will be surrounded by thirteen figures in bas relief, representing the original thir- teen States, cut in the same material as the “drum.” THE MUNICIPAL AS#sEMBLY.

Herbert vs. Hazael. It seems that the match between these peds has not yet been consummated, although itt is likely Herbert, whose wonderful performance at Sportsman’s Park last Sunday has brought him into notice, has gone East, and no doubt au nderstanding will soon be arrived at. gthe matter the Clipper of this week says: “Some days ago we receivea articles of agree- ment drawn up and signeu by T.

An Overwhelming Majority of Business Men Say No. The Trade of the City Not Appreciably Affected by the Stoppage of Gaming.

It has even been stated thata maj ri- ty of those who are anxious about the wel- fare of St. Louis would not be sorry to see the Johnson law repealed.

JOSEPH FRANKLIN. “Hurt business?” said Mr. Joseph Frank- linof the Wm. Barr Dry Goods Company, “why bless you, no. That's all nonsense.” “And you think thereis no necessity for licensing or countenancing it in any way?“ „All I have to say is, that I hope if there are any business men- who do favor gam- bling, you will print a list of them and keep them standing for the information of the public.” “Would you take a place in that list?“ „On the contrary, I think it would be a great outrage to licensegambling. The idea is absurd that a thing which is wrongin it- self is necessary to our business prosperity. 1 have heard that nonsense about our having lost the National Convention because of our prohibition of gambling, but 1 don't believe all I hear.” : And your business is not at all impaired by the suspeusion of that species of indus- “Why, of course not!“ — then said with a deal of emphasis: Les, 1 could give you a very decided opinion as to the effect of the gambling law on business generally, but I prefer not to be quoted on that subject. It might hurt our business. You had better see my partner, Mr. Lipman.” Mr. Lipman was found, and, having lis- tened very placidly to the inquiry, re- sponded : “You will excuse me, I hope. I haven’t given that subject any attention, and I would not like to venture an opinion on it.“ MR. R. M. SCRUGGS was contemplating with much gratification the excellent work that was being done by the Provident Association when the repurter found him. He smiled incredulously when asked as to the injurious effect of gambling prohibition on business, “Why, the proposition is absurd,” said he. “Things have cume toa — pass when it can be asserted that our business prosperity is dependent on such an odious foundation as that. We certainly have felt no iil effects from the closing of the gambling houses, and I don’t think you'll find one sin- gie business man who will express himself in favor of a removal of the restrictions ou that vile practice.” Being assured that the view was not nearly so unpopular ashe seemed to suppose, he id: “Is that so? Well, I’m amazed. I certain- ly can’t understand it. This much 1 do know, that there would certainly be not nearly so many people dependent upon the Provident Association as there are to-day nad the gambling houses been closed a few years sooner than they were.” MR. SAMUEL KENNARD had neither time nor inclination to discuss the subject. ‘You'll have to see some one that knows more about the matter than 1 do,” said he. “All L can say is, that we don't depend on the gamblers for our trade, and if our busi- ness has been affected. by the closing of the gambling houses we have not discovered it.“ R they see no necessity for licensing them, den?“ No; I see no necessity for it.“ Mn: — you are not in fayor of the licensed plan?“ “I didn’t say that.” And Mr. Kennard hurried away. MR. A. C. STOCKTON, of the house of Coon, Beck & Marshall, said that his acquaintance with St, Louis was of such comparatively recent date that he could hardly furm an opinion as to whether the business had been impaired by the cessation of gambling. “I can say this, however.“ said he, “that unless her experience differs from that of places farther West,her business will suffer very matemally if the gambling hous- es remained closed. I lived for quite a num- ber of years in Las Vegas, and 1 had an ex- cellent opportuulity to watch the results of the prohivition policy. So long as the gawb- ling houses aud dauce houses were open, the town was full of 8 business was ming. As soon as places were Closed, the town became far more respecta- ble, churches went up very rapidiy, and the place was far more pleasaut to live in, es- pecially fora man withafamily. But at the same time business fell off to an alarmin degree, and by contrast with what it h been, the town seemed to be dead. Of course, in larger and older communities the effects would not be so marked, but even they, I think, must feel the depressing results in some degree when they ciose the gambling houses, However, as I said before, I don’t know enough about St. Louis to form any sound judgment as to whether her trade has been injured or not.“ MR. H. W. PHELPS, of Merrick, Walsh & Phelps. was a member of one of the recent grand juries which paid their respects to the gamblers in a manner not at all ble to the latter. Said he: li from the ne way of morally Wrong. aner take a his brother, uestion that the suppression of gambli diminishes the volume of business done by h 8 I can’t say that our firm re ost anything directly by ihe enforeement of the law aseinst gambiing ho but I’m 8 general principles. The extent wh business has suffered by the en- orcement of the prohibitory law is very dif- ficult of determination, because business is — ly dull in ‘off vears, and this is count- an on year. That it has suffered to some extent, however, there can be no doubt. As to the remedy, I have no epinion to express. Even though I avored a license law I should be very slow to say so. Youcan readily see thata firm which relies on mixed patronage for its trade cannot afford to volunteer any expres- sions which might be offensive to a large number of its patrons. If people were al- —2 tolerant, it would bea different thing, and a man could express himself freely on these questions. But there is hardly a firm in town which would not suffer a direct loss of trade were one of its members to declare in favor of the license plan. The gamblin question is one wherein moral welfare ang business interests collide, and it is a que tion which shall be made to give way to the other. MR. F. J. COMSTOCK of Burrell & Comstock was not prepared to Ui position on either side of the question. I haven't given the subject any thought,” he said, but it seems to me that the sup- —— of gambling makes no appreciable ifference in trade. It certainly makes none in ours. So far as licensing it is concerned I nave no particular objection to it, but I Know of no necessity for it. The men for vou to see are the wholesale men, who get their trade from outside the city. If you will talk with the salesmen whose duty it is toentertain their country customers when they come in to purchase supplies, and to Show them the sights of the city, you will be able to get a more correct idea than in any other way.“ At the house of MILLER & STEPHENSON, neither of the leading members of the firm was to be seen, but Mr. Roe, the vice-presi- dent, and Mr. John R. Gaunt, the secretary, happened to have that very subject under discussion when the reporter called. There can be no doubt,” said they, that the business of the city is best when gambling-rooms and un- mentionable resorts are open to business. In our business we have felt the effect of closing the gambling houses to only a limited extent. Of course there is a pretty direct relation between gambiing and the saloon business, and when the one is thriving the other Shares in the prosperity. Consequently when the houses are closed, the saivuns do not need as frequent or as fine supplies of giassware as when business is booming. Thus we feel the effects in an indirect man- ner. As to whether gainbling should be licensed, however, that is a pretty serious question to determine. If itis permitted at all, it should be licensed so as to prevent brace games and other forms of disbunesty. There can be little doubt that to license it wouid have a beneficial effect on business. The average country tradesman, wuen in arrauging his annual or semi-annual trip to the city, always counts on a certain amount of sight- seeing and pleasure. It is important ecent to him, and even if he be a church- deacon he can’t help feeling that for this trip it ean do no harm for him to relax a little in the severe rules by whieh he overns his home life. 80 _ feel- ing. if other things are equal, he will prefer to go to the city where there is the most lifeand gaiety, and where the most sights are to be seen of a class different from what he sees at home A stringent license law, therefore, which will prevent dishonest and tricky games wuld be far more Dbenefi- cial to business than a law for the suppres- sion of gaming. AT THE GOODYEAR RUBBER HOUSE Manager J. B. ‘thompson was found, with an opinion that had no doubtful ring to it. “So far as the general good of the public 4s concerned gambling is all wrong,“ he said, “But would a license law benefit business?“ Not at att. It's absurd.“ „Then you do not favor license?“ “Ceriainly not. Gambling is wrong; in dact, it hurts the community, and the idea that legitimate business is seriously affected by its suppression has no foundation.“ The gentleman who spoke for HURST'S HOTEL had been giving the subject a considerable amount of consideration. ‘**There is no use in moralizing or talking,” said he, 'the fact is potent to all hotel men that country merchants will, as a rule, not come where the gambling law and laws of that kind are enforced, When gambling houses close, a town immediately begins to look dull, and business slacks off, am not arguing to what should be, but telling you what the fact is. In our business we have felt very lainly the closing of the gambling houses. t seems to me that a license law would af- ford the community all the prot ction neces- sary, and would at the same time give busi- ness a chance to grow. I can’t help looking at the inconsistency of those men who in- sist on keeping gambling houses closed. Every Sunday during the summer we have ball games, which are atterded by thou- sands, and betting is as free as the air. Yet nobody cries out against that, On Change every day gambling of the most pronounced kind goes on with big stakes, and nothing is said about that by our law-makers. But when a man goes into a private room and makes a wager on chance the law is very sensitive, and the community demands that he be prosecuted for it. If such an act is as wrong, all other species of gambling is wrong; and they ought to suppress it all or none. MR. BAMUEL DODD of Dodd, Brown & Co., being out of the city, Mr. M. D. Dodd, was asked if the suppression of gambling had affected the business of the house. “I don’t think it bas said he; not beyond the general wel- fare of the city.” The interviewer asked him to explain his remark and he said: 1 think the suppression of gambling has been a good thing for the city.” “Would you be in favor of licensing gam- blers?” " I would not be in favor of licensing any evil, gambling in particular. I don’t think it’s right to license such things.“ MR. JOHN T. DAVIS of Samuel T. Davis & Co., was asked if ambling had impaired the business of his house to any extent. “Nota bit,” said he. „Would you be in favor of licensing gam- dlers?“ Not a bit.“ Not a bit?“ „Not a bit.” MR. AMES of the Lindell Hotel said: The suppression of gambling has impaired all retail business and especially the hotel business. There is no question about it. Gambling brings people to the city, and these people spend their money freely. They stop at the hotels and leave plenty of money behind them. I am rather in favor of gambling— square gauibling, that is—and I regret that St. Louis does uot permit it. Every other city does, and the result is that we havea dead city while other cities are filled with life and vigor.“ Toa second question Mr. Ames said: “I don’t know about the license theory. Still 1 should think it would bea ood scheme. Apy way to keep square gam- ling alive, and to kill unfair gambling would be a good way. It would help the city, I'd like to see tue town thrown wide open U MR. 1 MELLIER ot the A. A. -Mellier Washington avenue house, said: “I think tne suppression of ambling has impaired our retail business. Let me introduce you to Mr. Hazard, our confidential cierk.”” Mr. Hazard said: “We noticed its effect upon our ietail trade more particularly during the Christmas holidays. body who knows gamblers need not told that that the sporting fraternity is fon of luxuries.

Personally I will say this: As law-abiding citizens we have to suffer our loss in business for a ible profit in mérals, but it is my belief that usiness tien who cannot afford to openly countenance such a thing would neverthe- less be willing to wink at it.” MR. ALLEN of Claflin, Allen & Co., said:.“I scareety have an opinion on the subject. . belief is that our business has not in the slightest —_ impalred by the suppression of gam- n * MWould you be in favor of licensing it?“ “Personally, 1 would not.“ „But speaking for the house?” The house has no opinion. Individually, I think the members of the firm are, like my- self, opposed to it.“ MR. WILLIAM A, HARGADINE of Crow, Hargadine & Co., said, in answer to the fifst question: “It does not.” In an- swer to the second question, he said: “Iam in favor of suppressing gambling. I wouldn’t sell goods on credit to a man who gambles, and I Wouldn’t sell on credit to a man who got drunk, as all these things go to affect a- man's credit.“ : MR. E. C. SIMMONS, of the Simmons Hardware Company, was asked the usual question as to his business. The reply was, No, sir.“ — you be in favor of licensing gam- rs “I would not like to answer that ques- tion, MR. c. d BAINWATER, of Rainwater, Boogher & Co., said: ‘The suppression of gambling has not affected our business tn, the least. 1, most certainly, would not be in favor of licensing gamblers.

M. J. MURPHY was asked. “impaired the business of your house any ?” “Tt has not.” “Would you bein favor of a license for gamblers?” J don’t know about that. An answer to that would require a conviction, which I — I would not be opposed to it, I ink, MR. JOSEPH SPECHT said: “I think the suppression of gamblinga benefit. We have had more young men ruined by these dens of vice than any other way. We are, and 1 think you will find every other house that employs young men, in favor of keeping gambling houses shut. I will spend $1,000 to keep them closed.“ MR. B. NUGENT, of B. Nugent & Bro., said: All the time that I have been in the business I have ney- er seen where gambling interfered in our business. From a business standpoint 1 am perfectly neutral and have nv opinion on the licensing of the gambling-houses.”’ MR. MICHAEL M’ ENNIS, of Whittaker & Sous nad a decided opinion. „J think it is a benefit for the eity to have the gambling houses closed. If men sto gaming they will pay their honest debts an attend more ciosely to business ard thereby add tothe prosperity of the city. It makes business safe and I do nos favor licensing gambling.” MR. D. CRAWFORD of D. Crawford & Co. refused to give an opinion. When he learned that a business view was sought he said: I'll tell you brief- ly, I have no use for gamblers or gambling. lam o to granting gambling houses a license.’ MB. K. A, HITCHCOCK said: “I am most décidediy opposed to gambling in any and every shape, and I can not see how any man who has the best inter- ests of the city at heart can possibly give his consent to have these hells opened and pub- licly licensed.“ But some persons say you cannot suppress gambling?“ That is a mistake, It can be suppressed, and it should be. Now. just consider for a moment the consequences if you license gambling, aside from the fact that you open the door to ruin to every young man who has not the 3 to re- sist the temptation to gamble. ou give a certain class of men the opportunity to raise a campaign fund that wouid be used at all the State and municipal elections to the very worst interests of the commuuity. There is certainly no man, whoserved as a grand juror during the late police imbroglio, who could consistently say that it would be to the interest of this city to license gambling. Are there any persons whom you have seen in favor of it?“ „Ves; some.“ “On what grounds?“ They say that it keeps away from the city a certain class of men, who would other- wise come here to buy and sell their goods or merchandise.” “Well, what does that amount to. If you reduce the question toa mere matter of dol- lars and cents, it might develop the fact, tnat a certain class of merchants would be benefited if gamuling were allowed; but the question must be looked at from a higher standpoint. I think it would be very dangerous for the Post-DispatcH to publish an indiscriminate series of inter- views on such a vital question. You will undoutealy find a class of merchants who will favor gambling, becaus» it brings them a littie more business; but the real business men, the men who own property and who are really capable of judging what is and what is not for the best interests of the city, will not approve of licensing gambling or of permitting it to continue in the city or State under any circumstances.”’ The reporter next called upon MR. JAS. E. YEATMAN at the Merchants’ National Bank, and was informed that he was ill, and had not been at tne bank during the day. Mr. J. C. Moore, the cashier of the bank, being made acquainted with the object of the reporter’s mission, said: Of course, lam not author- ized to speak for Mr. Yeatman on this ques tion. Personally lam opposed to granting a license to gamblers, and I am quite posi- tive that Mr. Yeatman would express a sip- ilar opinion were he here. So far as the banking interests of the city are concerned, there is-not the slightest loss that can be as- certained from the suppression of gaw- bling.“ i MR. THOMAS MILLER of the St. — a Was disinclined to express an op 1 6 subject, but upon belug pressed said: “What is to be gained by publicly discussing sucu a question? You know as well asI that gambiing cannot be suppressed. You may enact laws to pro- hibit it being conducted publicly, but you cannot prevent a certain class from gam- bling clandestinely if they are determined * ** suppressi f bli as on of gam r- fered with your business?“ 1 — I cau not say that it has. You see our class of custom runs in a different line. Out guests are mostly theatrical people aud com- mercial tourists.

You know aswell as I that there is gain- blin Boing on in this city to-day, notwith- standing the vigorous attempt of Harrigan to suppress it. ides there is an open species of 3 which the sporting men are compelled to resort to and which they daily indulge in when the card rooms are shut. I refer to pin pool, billiards, betting on horse races at the pool rooms, he bucket shops and option dealing on Change. What are ali these places but large gambling saloons. But the question is a large one and I suppose I have already said enough.“ MR. CHAS. WARNER | of the Southern Hotel said: There is noth- ing for me to say on this subject. I cannot say that the suppression of gam- biing has injured the business of the hotel. There is no way for me to estimate such a loss. Ithink other business interests have been injured, however, and a great deal of money that would have otherwise come to St. Louis has gone to Chicago. I should be iu favor of licensing gambling, because I be- lieve it is an evil that cannot be suppressed. Morally it is wrong; but we cannot look at everything in this world from a moral stand- point. We must be practical. That is the sum and substance of the whole thing. Gam- bling will go on: then why not license it?“ MR. EUGENE CUENDET, of the Eugene Jaccard Jewelry Company, said, 1 do not want to be put down as either a saint or a sinner on this sub- ject. It would make no differennce to - 3288 it gambling were licensed in city. But your business, has it injured that?” No, not injured it. We do not depend upon any one class.” 7 Has the sale of diamonds diminished an ones, the gambling laws went into ef- ec “Well, when the gamblers were here they were Verygood customers of ours and we sold them a great many diamonds.” “Would = say that you think it best to allow gambling to continue?” As 1 said at first, I do not care to put mv- self on record in the matter one wav or an- other. I was brought up in a country where there was gambling and dissipation of all kinds around me. I have never been tempted to gamble, heuce personally it would not affect me if they opened a hun- dred gambling saloous in the city. There is no denying the fact that men, as a general thing, like to gamble, and strangers when traveling for pleasure invariably go to those cities where they have the largest gambling saloons. Look at Monte Carlo, for instance. Why every traveler along the Mea- iterranean stops there, and of course the most of them leave a great deal of mon- ey there. The province has become very wealthy by thus fleecing strangers. Gamb- ling is wrong in principie, I know, and I do not believe in it, but the question of sup- pressing it entirely isa big one and a great deal can be said on both sides.“ MR. D. E. GARRISON said; “Lam in favor of putting every possi- ble safeguard around our young men. I should be very sorry to see gambling li- censed in St. Louis. It would betne means of ruining two-thirds of the young men of the city. The main thing that prevents them now from going to these places is the fear of being caugut and exposed. They know it would be a dis- grace, But when you license these saloons and make them legal places of resort, this saleguard is removed. I am most emphatie- ally in iavor of suppressing gambling entire- ly—peaceably, if it can be so done, if not then forcibly. I want to see every professional gambler driven from the city and we shall be all the better for it.“ ARRIS MR. H of the Norton & Wieder Paint Company, said; Id n''t want to look at the question in-Té moral aspect, but simply from a biisi- ness point of view. I am decidedly of the opinion that open gamblingin thisor any other city will do it more harm than good. 1 know thata great many business men believe that the absence of gambling from the city keeps away a number of business men who would buy goods here, but I believe that the loss is compensated for in other ways. Put me down as opposed to gainbiing.”’ ADAM ROTH, wholesale groter, 109 North Main street, said that he was of the opinion that the best thing to do with gambling was to suppress it and, with the gamblers, to run them out of town. Hedid not believe that any business man whose trade was worth having would, when starting to visit a city to make purchases, give the preference toa city where gambling was in full biast over one where it was not. “‘Whenone of these men come to town we business men waut to get his money. I want to get the money of a country grocer who comes to town to buy goods and if some other grucer sells to my customer I’m disappointed. I should be much more disappointed if I found that my customer had run foul of a gambling house and been cleaned out of the money he intended to buy groceries with. Another thing: -When we hear of an employe’s mak- ing away with his employer’s money, dou’t we almost invariably find that gambling is at the bottom of the crime? Oh, no; we don’t want gambjing, and we don’t want to sell goods to people who are so fond of gam- bling that they can’t do without it.” W. P. GETTYS, ; produce dealer at No. 103 North Main street, was very emphatic in his remarks, saying: „Let the gamblers go; we are better off with them partially suppressed as at present and we’d be better off with them suppressed altogether. 1 don't believe that the city should countenance gambiing or auy other vice by licensing it.“ A GENTLEMAN who did not care to have his name mentioned said that morally he was opposed to gam- bling. He had never bet on a card or a horse race in his life and had abstained fronr prin- ciple from so doing. Atthe same time his ecaudid opinion was that considerable trade was lost to the city because there was no He knew of cases where men went to Chicago to trade because they knew that- they could have a buc« at the tiger there, a thing of which the country 2 when he came to town was very fond. A member of the firm of BRUNSWICK & LANDAUER. said: “I believe we have all the gambling in the city now that I want to see. Let it run ‘wide open,’ as the expression is, and then business men who come here to buy goods willrun a splendid chance of losing their money to the gamblers before they reach the business houses they want to do business with.” J. W. ELWELL said: I am an old steamboat man, and I think I know as much about gambling as, any body, and that, too, without having ever gaubled to any extent myself. I've seen lots of it, and it’s my opinion that the more difficult you make it for people to gamble the more they'll want togambie. Let gambling be publicly conducted, under license and proper ker straint, and there won’t be as much scandal about it as at present. There is no doubt that gambling brings lots of business to a city. Take New Orleans for instauce. Tat town would be dead all winter if it was not forthe gambling. We need it here and ought to have it. Out in the country the business men almost ail gamble. ‘They play their little game of draw poker, and when they come to town almost all of them lay a hundred or a hundred and fifty aside to have a game in the city, and they're going to a city where they can have it. MR. JAMES ANDERSON, . a wholesale grocer, said: 1 don’t believe that licensed gambling would do the city any good. it wouldn’t bring here the kind of men that I care to sell & to. MR. FBANKELIN, P with S. R. Udeli & Co., said: A country- man comes to town now with, & Convention to this city because those | destred to agu ne wrsties ir eard ing could not do 80 without becomi oy a to buy goods. At present he is hun up by a number of eager zentlemen Who are bent up- | — ae on relieving him of his money. I mean the rummers who are en in the legitimate business of inducing him to invest his money In goods at the stores which they represent. Let us have licensed gambling going on here under the protection of the police, and it will be a race between the drummers, who want the countryman’s money after having given him value received for it, and the gamblers, who will do their best to get it without aiving any return at all—to rob him, in fact. No, sir, I don't believe that licensed gambling would do anything élse than seri- ously injure this city.’ MR. POINDEXTER, leaf-buyer for P. Lwriliard & Co., said: “Keep the gamblers out of the city if you waut to preserve your business interests from danger. ‘Talk about keeping gambling under restraint is all very well, but whea you license one kind of gambiiag you have to license all, and that lets in bunko and all the other skin games. No know that the tobacco trade of Cincinnati has suffered a terrible blow, simply and purely through the evil representation that city has obtained as a haunt of bunko-men. Several of the tobacco shippers got caught by these feliows, and the result was that they now send all their tobacco to Louisville instead of Cincinnati. I remember the very case which had the most to do in producin this result, An old tobacco shipper h cloxed up his business at Cincinnati, had $3,800 on hand and was preparing to go home when the bunko-steerer succeeded in gutting him in two. He lost every cent of his money and the case caused such a commotion that the other tobacco shippers got frightened and they all decided to give Cincinnati the go-by. The Cincinnati police got aroused, and after very hard work they broke bunko up, but not before it had done a great deal of harm to the city’s business.” MR, JOS. GRISWOLD of the Laclede, said: “I regard a metropoli- tan city as the abode of all kinds of humani- ty, the good, the bad and the indifferent; and the exclusion of one class of society de- stroys its metropolitan quality. We have a police furce whose business it is to control and regulate or suppress vice. Law-abiding citizens don’t require anything of that kind. There is one species of the human family known as gamblers. Where square gambling is conducted,I am in favor of it; but for skin games, bunko-steering, three-cari monte, roping minurs and clerks handling trust funds, that kind of gambling [am opposed to. Ifa man wants to adopt that as a pro- fession, and will gamble with those in the same profession, or those who know what they want to do with their money, chance it on a gambling game or otherwise, I look upon it as their right to do so. I say that, in my humble opinion, gamuliiag should be licensed aud should be conducted with open doors. I think that whatever is done in secreey, is done in an evil way. There seems to be no fault found with dealings in futures in the Merchants’ Exchange, which is cer- tainly a game of chance, no defalcations or misappropriatious of trust funds by clerks hanuling other persons money resulting from dealings in futures on the Merchants’ Exchange, but whenever we hear of defaca- tions or misappropriations of other people's funds by cierks and others, they invariably come from the bucket shops. One is done openly and in plain view, and the other in secrecy. Now my opinion is, that the retail trade of this city has been Seriously Affected by the exclusion of a certain class of people, known as gamblers, and 1 have been very creditably informed by some gentlemen traveling for the wholesale houses of this city that they have frequently been tola by their country cust mers that they did not care to visit St. Louis because they could not have any pleas- ure such as a little game of cards affurds without being classified with the burglar, the horse thief and the criminal generally, and many have gone to Chicago for their purchases where they had their tittle past- time instead of coming t.

The average club man froma purely per- sonal standpoint cares very little for the ad- vent of the Lenten season. He manages to keep the even, or uneven, as the case may be, tenor of his way, and leaves it for his more religious brothers to do penance in sackcloth and ashes. He likes fish and oysters, and partakes of them with the same relish on fast days as on feast days. If he abstains from meat it is purely a sanitary measure and not because of any religious scruples he may have on the subject. But whatever his private opin- ion may be on such subjects he is compeiled, at this season of the year, to conform ina measure to the customs and ob- servances of of the community in he lives. No entertainments, no- receptions or balls can be given at the club, so he must settle himself down toa more or less hum-drum, inactive life. Most of the clubs at present are actively engaged in wrestling with the bills flowing in to them from all sources fur expenses in- curred in giving their various entertainments during the festive season. Those that have a fat exchequer are happy; but those whose financial condition is not all that might be desired, and there are a few of them in St. Louis, are quietly repenting the errors and foliies of their corporate existence. The University Ciub will hold an im- ortant meeting to-night, Circulars have een seut out to all the mem- bers, and the most intense interest is manifested in the results liable tobe at- tained at the meeting. The object of it is to receive and consider the report of the board of directors upon the present condition of the club and its prospects for the future. Itis a well known fact that the club has a rather heavy outstanding indebtedness,and the great question“ with the members has been how to get rid of it. The board of di- rectors made an extra assessment Of $25 on the members during the latter part of last year. This has been followed up by two assessments this year, one of $25, and the other of $50. This is the maximum sum ailowed to be as- sessed ory the members during any one year, and the question the members have to meet now is, if the Y from these two assessments be applied to liquidating the old indebteduess vf the clab, what will the club have to depend on to de- fray current expenses for the balance of this year. The receipts from the restau- rant and the sale of refreshments to members will not do it and no further assessment cao be made without obtaining an amendment to the charter. All members who have an interest in the welfare of the club should be present at the meeting to-night. The Stoddard Club obtained a pro furma decree of incorporation in the Circuit Court this week. Tne club is to be located at Gar- rison and Easton avenues,and has at present about thirty members.

Some pf the Noted Paintings—Paul Har- AS te * E cae 1 * I 2 5" 3 N ney’s New Pieture— Superior Sketches Illustrations for a New Book—Ag a Art Souvenir. The collection of paintings which has been on exhibition the past weex at the Pettes & Leathe art galleries is unquestionably the best, most extensive, and varied ever seen in St. Louis. The five rooms that compose the gallery suite are filled with the choicest ex- pressions of modern art, a vast proportion of which have never before been seen out side of the artist’s studio. Mention has been made during the week of a number of the principal pictures in the exuibition, but nothing like a complete description can be given. The most that can be attempted is to call attenti n to a few of the more salient features. Of Veyrassat's Harvest Field in Belgium” (No. 154 in the catalogue), no words of praise can be sufficient to more than suggest the superb quality of the work on this canvas. Hamerton just ex- resses its peculiar quality when e says of Veyrassat's work in general that “they are full of nature and of art, also, the art being successfully concealed.” It is such thorough work, and so pleasing withal that the imagination is baffled in the attempt to find some further quality to desire. H. Aus- sandon’s Awakening of Aurora,” the ar- tist’s salon piciure of 1883, is a superb work, wherein can be found the 8 of phys- ical drawing combined wit ality which yield the profoundest gratifica- tion to the observer. The First Meeting,” by Wagrez, pupil of Pils aud Lebanon and a medalist of 1876 and 1878, has been the cen- ter of admiration for a vast number of the visitors who have thronged the gallery dur- ing the week. It is peculiarly full of grace, and that indescribable air of romance with which we associate the idea of youthful love —love of the Italian Romeo and Juliet stvle, full of passion, burning, sudden aud strong, till death. The architecture and costumes are those of Florence when that haughty city was in her pride. The de- tails are as carefully wrought out; from the folds of the girl’s drapery to the texture of the marble steps on which she treads, as though imagination were to play no part in the picture but that it was to be considered simply as a sober transcript of a current fact. Pleasures of Home” by Charies Poilpot (No. 137) isa charming little Italian garden in interior where one hesitates whether to admire most the exquisite drawing of the happy young mother and her children or the brilliant and yet soft color tones which yield their harmony to theeye. Cecil Ferraire (No. 218) is represented by another charming figure piece entitled The Answer.” A young lady dressed in extreme good taste a subtle spiritu- . and amid the pleasantest home surroundings. is writing a letter of acknowledgment for the elegant bouquet which she has just re- ceived. Her smiling countenance shows with what pleasure she writes and leads to a suspicion that need not be pointed to in plainer terms, Clemenson’s ‘‘Noble Buck” (No. 156) is the must striking feature in the north room, its commanding attitude and the superb painting and drawing forcing it on the attention immediately. It is understood that some members of the Eiks’ Club have determined to purchase this picture to adorn their elub-rooms, and a considerable sum has already been subscribed for this purpose, Among other fine pictures are the marines by La Motte, Jacobs, De Haas, . Satman ° maguificen 7 5 Which uty the work by the same artist in the ie Crow Museum; the landscapes of the Munich school, two different forms of expression, by Wenglein (No. 195) and by Sinding (No, 213); Peraire’s most charming landscape, No, 217, Willows on the banks of the Marne;” Trouiliebert’s equaily beautiful “Spring Day on the Seine,” No. 107, which combines ail the tender mystery of a Corot, with the fresh vigor of a Daubigny. These are but a few of the many rare pictures in the exhibition, but they are the chance specimens picked out at random in the course of daily visits. Too much reaily cannot be said oi this exhibition, ich has attrac.ed the attention of cultured Louis- aus all week. The galieries have been thronged every day with visitors, and the fact that the exhibition is free but enhances its charm. Beside this exhibition local art pales into insignificance. Still, in the studio of Mr. Paul Harvey isa picture which is worthy of mention in connection With almost any example of an American artist. It is de- cidedly the most creditable work Mr. Har- vey has yet produced, and is likely t, win for him abroad as much celebrity as he has at home. The painting represents au old- fashioned New Eugiand farm house interior, with a great yawuing firepiace, a board floor, rude walls and jurniture, the ornaments con- sisting of ali those culinary necessities which are usually found in farm kitchens. The string of dried app and the red peppers] aud to the realism of the picture, while the broken plaster, re- vealing the brick in the fire-place, together with the excellent treatment of all the sur- rouadings, stamp it with high artistic merit. There are three figures in the picture—wom- en who are just in from “meetin,’” prob- ably, and are having a social chat. An elderly femaie rocks herseif in a chair and discusses the new minister as she peels a basket of apples. A younger woman sits facing her, listeniug evidently with interest. The third is busy with the fire, but is evi- deutly as deeply immersed in the old lady’s remarks as the other. The picture is catied ne Fireside at the Farm,“ and will not be exhibited here, but will be sent to tue Academy at New York. Regular attendants at the meetings of the Sketch Clubs cannot fail to have observed the constant improvement in the character of the sketches submitted. Many of those seen in the rooms of both clubs Thursday evening were worthy of a better name than sketches. Spurgin’s “Ship Ahoy,” and Astiey D. M. Cooper's “Astray” at the Sal. magundi Club meeting were really fine works of art. Prof. Ives, Cari Gutuerz aud Paul Harney’s contributions to the St. Louis Club meetings are generally pictures of a very high order. All the leading local artists nave been en. gaged in preparing illustrations for the new book, Bohemian Life; or, the Autobiogra- phy of a Tramp.” Mr. Weicker, the weil- uown illustrator of the late Hornet, is at work on a full engraviug, a portrait of Jules.“ the chief character in the book, and Mr. John H. Wilson, of the Salmagundi Club, is engaged on a similar work. One of the neatest of the collection so far is a little infant head by Miss Fairchild. Carl Gu W. D.

The Hidden Hand,“ by the Whiteley Com ban), at the People’s, did rath- er better thanjwas expected, for it is a pure! y provincial attraction and possesses no hovel- ty fora city audience. Edwards’ Comique and the Dime Museum did excellent busi- ness demonstrating that low rates have much to do with public appreciation at pres- en les and glows as it changes with every pass- ing thought. Miss ennie Thurmond, with her soft, hazel eyes and bonny-brown hair, is much admired for her biquaute face and vivacious manner. Miss Belle Billingsty has an ideal face, with @ sweet, delicate Trace in its pensive look; the Star-like, dark eye is fringed with biack Jashes, which lend a greater depth to the eyes. She has soft, light-brown hair; a transparent complexion, with a delicate peach bloom, and a smooth. low forehead. Miss Daisy Dozier has most beautiful eyes of an amber brown, with a large biack pupil Which makes them seem black at times. The light lashes and brows give the eyes a peculiarly intense look. Mis3 Dozier has a lovely com lexion, with much color, and the evidence of beau esprits is in the aulmated countenance, Miss Olive Harding is of the golden-haired, browh-eyed, Vandyke type, with a “round- ed cheek like rosebud glowing.” The large, bright hazel eye is made a shade darker by the long dark lashes and slightly arched dark brows. The soft dimpled face is tinted England nine days later, to appear at the Loudon Lyceum on April 14. In April next, Mr. J. H. Haverly proposes to consolidate two minstrel companies, and send them to London for a summer season at Covent Garden under Mr. Kit Clarke’s man- agement, Mr. James O'Neill will probably restore to his repertoire next season “An American King, in which he appeared last year.

TERRIBLE ESPINOSAS. Mysterious Murders in the Mining Camp Twenty-one Years Ago. Red Rock Ridge (Col.,) Cor. New York Times. As Isat, last night, in a miner's cabin about a half-mile below here, in the gulch— the cabin ofa miner who has trudged and, climbed and prospected these ancient hills for more than 20 years, and, like many others, bas fairly less of this worid’s goods than he began with-—the conversation, | quite natur- aly, drifted to the events of old times“ in the mountains. My friend has a vast fund of entertaining incidents relating to this section, and so, after the usual pipe-filling and cheering cup, he inquired if I had ever heard of the Espinosas. Being a comparative fender foot (that is, a new Comer), and quite nnfamiliar with the stirring occurrences for which Colorado was in its earlier years noted, i had to confess my utter ignorance of the subject he had broached. As it proved to be an interesting and tragic tale, I will attempt to reproduce 10 here; but I cannot hope to give itin the uncouth yet foreible words of ibe bronzed oh man who related it. In 1863 the settlement of Colorado was but four years old. The goid excitement had brought into the Territory, however, a large, hardy, and peculiar population. Denver (Auraria as it was originally called from the giseovery of auriferous deposits in that neighborhood) was but a small cluster of shanties and tents set- up fer temporary occupaney. Aside from this there were few tows. save in Southern Colorado, where the Mexican element had drifted and established jusigullicant settlements Which could boast of little besides a name. Fresh dis- eoveries of gold were being made, however, and Kussel Guich was fast developing what subsequently became an_important mining at Central, Biack Hawk and adjacent points. Afew hardy pioneers had pushed ont beyond and settled Breckenridge. Fairplay, Ora City, while down by the fovot- hills, like sentineis to the fastnesses above, vere Colorado City, once the capital, before it was removed to Golden; Canon City, Badito, aud other mere specks upon the then aiwost uubroken region. ‘These were all, at best, mere handfuis of people, but ail were earnest, determined, hopeful men. The search for gold had led them out from the overcrowded East, aud they Came to founda luture great Stale. There was much excitement both from local and outside bellion in the Southern States, > * * CPUC here then, causes. Re- and the de- evelepment of that spirit here had caused a leeling of great unrest and trouble, lurked everywhere. Confederate plans for acquir- ing this Territory were fortunately checked by the vigilant Gilpin at Pigeon Ranch. Indiaus threatened the borders likewise, and their depredations finally led to Chivington’s awful punishment of tuis enemy at Sand Week. Deésperadoes scourged the mining camvs and larger towns until vigilance committees took hold and administered the justice that the law could not. During these troublous days in 1863 an unknown danger came. So mysteriously did it work that tor the time it fairly paralyzed the mountain communities. In March nine men had been jound dead along thet rails near Canyon City. Each man had a bullet in his head. 80 nearly similar were the death wounds that these mysterious assassinations naturally geve rise to much speculation. And this was increased when it was learned that three wegks before two men had been sitniiarly killed in Santa Fe, and also a sol- dier in Conejos. Thus as fur as could be dis- covered a bloody trail had its origin in the City of the Saints in New Mexico, and reached now as lar as Canyon City. Ihe news of the tertibie crimes, of course, spread rapidly, but it could scarcely Keep up wit their com- mission. Along the mountain roads, dead bodies were found, each with the fatal bullet in its skull. No vietim attacked ever told the tale. The rife that sighted him carried certain death with its missile. Miners trudg- ing their weary way up the mountain trails, teamsters with horses and vehicles, met their late alike. One singular fact appeared o be this, that all were killed in the wagon loads or on the trails; none were ever found off the beaten paths. Of course, the people became appailed andjardly dared to venture beyond the reach of immediate aid. No one could teil from what concealment the messen- ger of death—-that had never missed its mark ~mizht in its turn reach him. Dread despair prevailed ; the fear of an unknown foe per- vaded the hearts of those pioneers who dared face any danger openly. In fact, a iign of terror prevailed, Ine assassinatious became more frequent.

From a record the elder Espinosa had kept he had at that time murdered thirty white men, twenty-seven of whom had been killed in Colorado, after leaving Conejos. He was a large, coarse, hard-visaged ruffian, while his companion was small, and, as near as could be judged by those who saw him on the day of the encounter, of no par- ticular individuality.

The scouting party searched several days for the younger Epinosa, but without success. No trace of him was ever found. ‘The head of the dead outlaw was cut from the body, and was taken back to Fairplay as a trophy of the remarkable chase.

A WARRIOR’S REVENGE. The Story ofa Skull in which Birds Have Nested Many Years. There is in the possession of a family living on Baldwin’s Creek, near the scene of the bloody and decisive battle between the American forces under Gen. Sullivan and the Six Nations under Brant and other eo chiefs, in 1779, a curious relic of that vattie, which has a tragic story of its own. It is the skull of an Indian, with a buliet- hole in the center of the forehead. The an- cestor of the present owner settled on the farm still occupied by the family just after the Revolutionary war. The story has been handed down with the skull as follows: The Indian to whom the skull belonged was one of Brant’s bloodiest and bravest warriors, He participated in the Wyoming brutalities, the horrors at Minisink, and the bloody Cherry Valley massacre. He was the leader of the marauding band that burned the settlement at Harperstield, Dola- ware County, and murdered the settlers there. An aci of his at that massacre is al- leged to have led to his own death at the hands of au Indian enemy, an adopted son of the peaceable chief, Cornplanter, Young Cornplanter, Who was friendly to the whites hearing that an attack on the Harperstield settlement was contemplated, sent a squaw of his tribe clear froin the shores of the Al- legheny River, to warn the settlers. She ar- rived tuo late to perform the service, as the savages had reached there first and accom- plished their work. She was captured, how- ever, and, known to be a Cornpianter squaw aud her errand suspected, she was killed and scaiped by the leader of the hostile band. When this became known to young Corn- planter he swore vengeance against tue mur- derer of his squaw. When Sullivan was sent into the Susquchanua country on his errand of destruction Cornplauter was em- ployed as a scout to precede the army aud keep the General informed as to the plans and strength of the Indians. Iu the perfor- mance ol this duty he was creeping through the woods near the present village of Weils- burg, When suddenly he saw an Indian also stealing along. Cornplanter stopped behind a chesnut tree. ‘The other Indian was a Seneca and hid himself behind a fallen tree. Cornpiauter, uncertain Whether tue Seneca had seen him, remained motionless behind the chesnut but peered arouud the trunk with one eye, Dringing the hiding-place of the other ludian in view. Presently the head of the Seneca rose stealthiily above the lallen trunk, aud a moment later the Indian rose to his feet and glanced cautiously about. Cornplanter recognized his bitter enemy, the slayer of his squaw, and the In- dian he had sworn to kill. The next instant his rifle covered the Seneca brave, and the report that followed was the bloody war- rior's deatu-Kuell. Cornplanter scalped the chief aud left him lying where he teil. Tue next day the Battle of Baidwin’s Creek was fought aud the Indiaus were routed. ‘twenty years later young Cornplanter, who had gone to the West, returned to the vicimity of Baldwin’s Creek. One day he was Waiking in the woods with the grand- father of the present owner of tue Liditan skull, whose guest he Was, aud, stopping suddenly and looking about him on every side, said to his host that it was on that spot that he had killed Brapt’s warrior in 1779. Coruplanter went to a certain ‘spot, aud, digging away a deep layer of leaves, uucov- ered the moidering bones of the Seneca brave. The skull was as sound as ever. Cornplanter kicked 1t spitefuliy away from him into the woods. His cumpanion picced it up, and, taking it home, putat on a tall pole, and the blue-birds hested in it for years. It uow serves as @ retreat, for two pet ground-squirrels. ‘The small hole in the forenead shows how unerring was the In- dian Coruplanter's aim. Novelties in Women’s Wear.

How It Is Adulterated With Glucose, Paraſline and Other Ingredients, From the Boston Globe. “Tt is not hard to get good caramels in Boston, but it is much easier to et poor ones, said a confectioner to a Globe re- porter, “The caramel is a modern invea- tion, and came into use about twelve years ago. ‘To-day it takes the lead of every other candy. Properly made, it is composed o cream and sugar. As it is bought in the majority of places it consists.of glucose water and sometimes paraffine. “And why paraflne? was the question. “Chiefly to give a ‘body.’ Glucose costs about half as much as sugar, but is thin, aud if used alone is apt to be sticky. The raffine gives It the waxy consistency ound in the genuine caramel. You can tell inferior caramels by theig semi-transparency when held up to the light. If such ones are very sticky, glucose alone has been used. If they are waxy and will not whoily melt in the mouth paraffine is present in large pro- portion.” „How much paraffine would a pound of caramels be likely to contain?” Perhaps a quarter of a vound—perhaps less. It would be a matter for the maker's judgment. I have tried paraffiue myself with candies, but not of late years. It is not injurious to health, and I should not look upon it as a bad adulteration, It is not very digestible, of course, but peopie who buy candy don’t do it to help digestion. All I can say is, if you want to buy good cara- mels, don’t buy cheap ones.“ J Sell more of caramels than of all other candies combined,“ said the lady who pre- sides over a store on Washington street, “and Il warrant them made of pure cream and su- gar. Why should we adulterate when we la ve a clear profit of 60 and 70 per cent as it is? I donot say that cheap caramels are all adulterated, but I know that they are not made from cream at 81 a can, and sugar at eignt cents a pound. These, you see, are pure cream caramels, and any that you taste wiil melt away in the mouth ary easily. This is the rea! caramel. It would be a very different affair if either water, thin milk, glucose or parafflue were used. Caramels made of such things cost the maker only a few cents a pound, van be sold much lower than the gendine article and give a profit of perhaps 200 per cent. ‘There are plenty of such sold in Boston.“ nn “ss * To the Consumptive,—Wiibors Compound of Cop-LIVER OIL AND LIME,without possessing the very nauseating flavor of the article as here- tofure used, is endowed by the Phosphate of Lime with a bealing ewe which renders the Oil doubly efficacious.

The old inn known as the “Brass Bull,“ at Thompson, was burned last week. It was the oldest house in Windhain County, a large wood-colored edifice of the “lean to“ period, which greatly antedated the Revolution, hav- ing been built in 1710. Over the door was a miniature bull of old-fashioned hammered brass, which was also swallowed up in the flames. In the days of the then great New York, Hartford and Boston turnpike it was a changing station for the stage horses, and when the stage route vanished at the ap- proach Of the railroads it feebly heid its own as a summer resort. It had little diamond window-panes, wide fireplaces, and outer doors cut im halves, after the original New Engiand style, which suffereu the lower part of the door to be used as a breast- work against the onslaught of Indians. From its situation, on the apex of Washiug- ton Heights, a charming bird’s-eye view in the different States of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and even across Connecticut to the biue line made on the southern horizon by Long Island, in New York State, was to be gained. The most famous of local traditions have sprung from this oid house. It was eut up in all sorts aud numbers of odd-shaped rooms, and the fire on the kitchen hearth burned for more than one hundred years. In fact, this was the source of the old building’s ruin, for the continual heating of the stune- work in the greatchimney zharred the oaken floor timber above, until finaily the flames burst out and consumed the structure. For 152 years it was used as an hostelry, and it was the Ocasio of Gen. Washington’s sojourn at the “Brass Bull“ that led the courtly proprietor to dub the hill whereon it stood Washington Heights.

AND HIS CLAIM THAT Consumption de Cured BY HIS Of Interest to all who havé weak Lungs, Dyspepsia, Liver Com- plaint, or are in any other way threatened with Consumption. The proprietor of these medicines conscientiously offers them tothe public as the only safe, reliable and certain remedies for Pulmonary Consumption. He recommends them, with equal confidence , as almost & specific for those morbid conditions of the body which. if neglected, are apt to terminate in danger“ ous or fatal diseases of the lungs. Liver Complaints and Dyspepsia are generally regarded as forerunners of Consumption, aud when these diseases manifest themselves they require the most prompt attention. In order to understand how these medicines effect the cures which are ascribed to their agency, it is necessary to have some acquaintance with the pecu- liarities of the disease. Pulmonary Consumption ( Phthisis Pulmonalis) is characterized by emaciation, debility, cough, hectic fever, and purulent expectora- tion. Tuis disease has always been the greatest scourge of the human race, and it has destroyed more fives than tamine. sword, and pestilence. An English writer, some years ago, computed that out of a popu- lation of 7,000,000in the Isle of Great Britain, 55,00 annually die of consumption, The same fatality at- tends the d isease in this climate. One principal cause of the great mortality which attends Pulmonary Con sumption is the false theory that it is incurabie. This mischievous error causes many consumptive pa- tients to despair as soon as the nature of their afflic- tion becomes manifest,and, when they are hopeless of a cure, they resign themselves to what they sup- pose to be their inevitable fate, and die without mak- ing any éffért to prolong their lives. Our doubts are traitors.” says Shaxspeate: consumptives are often victimized by the fvufegone conclusion that their cases are beyond the reach of medicine. Pulmonary Consumption is in most cases, compli- eated with disorders of the liver and stomach. Be- fore the attack of this disease“ (says a French physi- cian) ‘a change takes place in the condition of the blood, which becomes degraded In quality and en- aowed with a lower degree of vitality.” The change is caused by the imperfect action of the liver, for one of the offices of that organ is to strain and purify the blood. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills act on the liver more promptly and effectually than any other medi. eine. Hende they are often prescribed for men in the first stages of consumption, and in many other cases when the torpid or diseased condition of the liver requires the use of this unrivaled purgative. Con- cerning the use of these Pills more will be said here- after; in the present connection it may be observed that their operation corrects that morbid condition of the blood which always precedes an attack of Con- sumption, and is, therefore, presumed to be one of the principal causes of the attack. Dyspepsia is regarded by maay American writers as one of the promfhent causes of Consumption, and they have good reasons for this supposition, for the absence of nutrition in the blood leads to the forma- tion of tubercles, and dyspeptic diseases deprive the plood of its nutritive properties. While dyspepsia is present it is almost, or quite. impossible for Consump- tion to be cured. For indigestion produces a general debility of the system, and this state of debility is most unfatorable to the re-establishment of a pa- tient’s health; for how can ulcerous cavities in the lungs be heaied when the stomach has no power of dicestion, and the system is too weak to produce that reaction which is necessary for a cure? Nourishing food. after all, is the material which must bring about this great change. My medicines only assist nature to overpower the disease, and to produce health secretions, instead of the morbid matter which vitlates the blood. From these considérations it wilt appear that tonic or strengthening medicines are requirea in the treatment of Consumption,ana és- pecially such medicines as have an invigorating effect on the digestive organs. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is compounded with particular reference to these ob- jects, ana it was first designed to be used in consump- tive cases as an auxiliary tothe Pulmonie Syrup. It is applicable, however, to all cases of ayspepsia, and it may be proved to demonstration that it is the on/y medicine which will cure that disease. Many eminent physicians have doubted whether Dyspepsia can be cured by drugs: and the drugs which are generally employed for that purpose, though they may seem occasionally to afford temporary relief, finally pro- duce aggravation of the symptoms. The Sea Weed Tonic. iu its nature, is totally different from such arugs. It contains no corrosive minerals jor acids; in tact, it is 80 far from having an action hostile to the animal economy, that it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplies her deficiencies. This Tome in its nature so mach resembles trie gastric Juice,that its action is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice, as all physiologists Know, is the natural solvent which—in a healthy condition of the body— causes the food to be digested; and when this juice is not secreted in sufficient quantities, indigeRion, with all its distressing symptouis. follows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duties ot this gastric juice when the latter is deficient. It has likewise ailtbe invigorating properties of iodide of potassium, iodide of iron, and iodine, remedies which are often pre- scribed by physicians to streugthen the constitutions of consumptive patients, From what has been said, it may be judged that Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a most importaut remedy in the treatment of pulmot- ary diseases, and experience proves this to bea fact- one of the good effects of this Tonic is to enable the patient to digest such a diet as consumptive persons require. Physicians now admit that & highty nutei- tious diet is most proper for such persons. Indeed, the food caanot be too nourishing for consumptives, if u can be made digestibie, You may feed such a patient with articles rich and nutritive enougn to pro- auce gout in certain conditiona of the system; but if the gastric powers of the patient are sufficient to as- similate those articles—ia other words, if he is abie to digest them—his lungs being theréby invigorated, — pegin to exercise their functions iu @ norma! and healthy manner, and if a cure is possible it must soon be effected. The Sea Weed Tonic. by improving the power of the stomach?and strengthening the whole system. prepares the dyspeptic and enfeedled patient for the use of the Pulmonic Syrup. The operation of the latter is to increase the vital energies, to ripen the nicers, and to expel the morbid matter from the sys- tem. But as Consumption is often coupled with Dys- pepsi, or Liver Compiaint, and as it ‘frequently orig- inates in those disorders, it is proper. in some cases, to begin with the use of the Toute and the Pi*is, or to use them simultaneously with the Syrup. scnenck’s Mandrake Pille relax the secretions and N : 4 aig | | 5 Dr. J. H. SCHENCK, z neger a4 watt as « cose a warranted not to contain a particle of calomel. Some physicians have positively asserted that calemel of mercury must enter into the composition of these pills, for, accoraing to their theory, nothing but calo- mel could act on the liver as these Pills certainly do. -But to prove that tne doctors are mistaken, it is merely necessary to notice the tact that Schehck’s Mandrake Pills never proauce selivation, whether they be used in large or small doses. Thousands are used weekly with the effects. With dalo- mol or blue pill the case is different. Large of this poison may sometimes act as a purgative) and so pass off without any visible mischief, but small dos es will salivate, and this is the reat difficulty which the “regular faculty” have to contend with. One bot of these pills, valued at 25¢, will prove the efficacy of the medicine. No matter how costive or how bitious the system may be, the habit of the body is immediately corrected and regulated by these pills, and the organs are brought to a healthy and natural activity. The Mand-ake Pills are likewise an infal- libie remedy for sick headache and piles, In many cases they have brought away worms from grown persons, who had long suffered with many unpleasant symptoms, without suspecting the real cause of their ailments. . f Cousumptive persons are earnestly exhorted to use my medicines in time before the disease has reached its desperate stages. Whenthe lungs are destroyed, of course no medicine can create new ones; but the first stages of Consumption are curable, and even when the lungs are considerably decayed often suc- cd in restoring the patient to health. While one sound lung remalus, [am certain of making a cure, if the patient will take proper care of himself, au d strictly follows my directions. COUCHS AND COLDS. . When there is any predisposition to Consumption, the disease, in one or another of its forms, will often be developed by “bad cold” of catarrh, the syni ptoms of which cannot be mistaken. When a person takes cold easily, the stomach or liver is generaily dis- eased. In this state of things the feeble condition of the system cannot resist the changes of weather and other external causes of disease, and so every expo- sure brings on a catarrh, with its commou symptoms, a bad cough, hoarseness, chills, slight painsin the breast, etc. These signs should not be neglected, and it is highiy important that the sufferer should know what to do. When one cola 1s taken on au- other,“ as the phrase goes, the bronenial tubes or the lungs become more or less diseased. A few bottles of Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup and Sea Weed Tonic and a box of Mandrake Pills would make a perfect cure: but instead of resorting to these safe and effi- cacious reinedies, patients often cousult & regular physician,’ whose reguiarity consists in prescribing calomel, opium, etc., on all occasions. Thus, for a cure of a cough or cold, morphia,black drop, raregoric,and still more objectionable articles are often taken in compliance with the doetor’s advice. Thése medi- eines may mitigate the cough for a time, but the dis- ease in the lungs goes on until the unmistakable sy mp- toms of Consumption begin to appear. It may be seen, therefore, that the preparations of opium, ete., which are prescribed in badcolds and incipient Consump- tions, merely conceal the disease by suppressing some of the symptoms; but on that very account they do harm by maxing the malady more insidious, and therefore more dangerous. Let it be remembered that when the stomach and liver are in good order there is little liability to take cold, and if one is taken, it generally passes off with- out producing any serious effects. On the contrary, when persons are laboring under indigestion or any disorder of the liver, the least exposure may induce all the symptoms we have described above. The cold taken will retain a rm hold on the system, and, if not properly treated, will be most likely to end in Consumption. My Sea Weed Tonic ana Mandrake Pilis are use das safeguards against colds; the first in cases of Dyspepsia and and all ulseases of the digestive or- gans; the latter in all affections of the liver, for which they are proved to be an infallible remedy. Very often a dose or two of the Mandrake Pills per- fectly eures a recent cold without any other remedy. I. BRONCHIAL CON- SUMPTION. This disease is generally the result of neglected cold or eatarrh. As I remarked (under the head of “Coughs and colds”), while the stomach and liver are in a healthy condition there is but little ability to take cola; and if no cold is taken there can be no acute bronchitis, and of course none of its successor —Bronchial Consumption. Therefore, as prerentive, the Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pilis may be used with entirejconfidence when s@mptomse of indigestion and liver complaint have appeared. No one who ju- diciously uses these two medicines,or either of them, as circumstances may require, need apprehend an attack of Bronchial Consumption, but it the use of these preventives has been neglected,and this form of Consumption has commenced, it will be necessary to use the Pulmonic Syrupin addition to the other remedies. The commencement of Bronchial Consumption is indicated by an obstinate and troublesome cough, at- tended with a copious expectoration of viscid and purulent, ora whitish frochy matter. At first the symptoms resemble those of an ordimary cold or catarrh,tne expectoration being tough, thick and opaque, but not yellow, containing small, grayish lumps, which sink in water. As the diseasé advances the cough increases, and this tough mucus or phlegm becomes more and more mixed witha yellowish fuid, resembling pus or matter,and often slightly streaked with blood. At first the pulse becomes slightly se- -pelerated and tense toward evening; and the heat of the surface of the body varies in the course of the, day, being sometimes above and sometimes below the natura! standard. Partial sweats occur in the head and breast at uight. The thirst is generally consider- ably increased; the urine is highly colored. and de- posits a copious, reddish sediment. A sense of zore- ness inthe chest, with an occasional transient stiten in the side, occurs in the majority of instances, but there is very rarely any fixed pain in the chest. The cough is usually severe, particularly on rising out of bea in the morning, at which time the breath- ing is more or less wheezing and attended with a feeling of tightness in the breast. If the disease continues unchecked in its course, the expectoration becomes purulent and extremely copious. Debility aud emacfation increase rapidly; the difficulty of breathing and sense of weight and tightness across the chest become more and more dis. tressing. The pulse is now generally very frequent, being seldom under le per minute. In the eariy part of the day the face is usually pale, but a deep flush of one or both cheeks is commonly observed toward the evening. The tongue becomes clear, and in many instances it assumes an alarming appearence, aud is redder than in health. There are generally profuse aud exbausting night sweats at this advanced stage of the disease, and, unless relief is found, sweiling of the ankles and diarrhœa foliows, and death closes the scene. In many cases the Pulmonie Syrup alone will cure this form of Consumption, but when the bowels are costive, the liver torpid, and a want of tone exists in the digestive orgars, the Sea Weed Tonic and Man- draxe Pills are necess#ty,the former to stimulate and invigorate the organs of digestion, and the lat- ters to regulate the liver and bowels. ll. DYSPEPTIC CON- SUMPTION. The complication of gastric and hepatic disease with Pulmouary or Bronchial Consumption is of fre- quent occurrence; and, as this combination produced certain phenomena in addition to the asual consump- tive symptoms, some physiciaus hate sdapposed that this is a distinct disease, which they call Dyspeptic Consumption. However, in some cases of this kind the lungs or bronchial tubes are only sympathetically affected, the primary disorder being confined to the stomach or liver. But the transition from this dis- ease to real Consumption is sometimes very easy and rapid: and for this reason the premonitory symptoms about to be deacribed should meet with prompt atten- tion. Ali disorders of the stomach and liver produce | more or less of that debility and abnormal cond ition of the blood which we have noticed as the precursor of Consumption. “Dyspeptic Consumption” usually begins to man- fest itself by a general weakness of the system and the common phenomena of indigestion, frequently ac- companied with cough, diMicuity of breathing and other symptoms of pulmonary disease. But very often in such circumstances, If the cone of the stom- ach can be restored ana the system strengthened. the whole train of symptoms disappear, and the patient will be restored to healta. my Sea Weed Tonic is particularly designed, as the reader may judge from the scoount of its medical properties given above. When Dyspeptic Consumption originates in disor- der of the liver the following symptoms will appear: A dull pain of tenderness in the right side, with in- creased uneasiness when lying on the lett side ;irreg- ularity of the bowels, fou! tongue, depression of spir- its, a sallow hue of the skin, yellowness of the white of the eye, fufrea and brown tongue, nausea, ead . sometimes vomiting. My Mandrake Pilis. used ac cording to direction, will remove all these symptoms by clearing away all obstructions from the liver and restoring its healty action. In order to eave a clear understanding of the patare of Dyspeptic Consumption it 18 necessary to have some knowledge of the anatomy of the parts affected The office of the liver is to strain off thé bile from the blood. When the liver is inflamed or torpid its work is not well performed. and the blood becomes sur- charged with various impurities, which will probably bejdeposited in some of the vital organs. The mischief may be aggravated by indigestion, as that disorder teuds to vitiate the quality of the blood. The Mandrake Pills, as mentioned above, effectual- ly clear away all obstructions from the liver and bil- ary ducts, ana produces a healthy action of the liver which prevents the congestion just described, én- ables that organ to strain and purify the blood, aud, of course, prevents those morbid deposits which lead to Consumption ana other dangerous maladies. As we remarked before, the use of the Sea Weed Tonie is advisabie when the energies of the stomach are im- paired, and symptoms of indigestion are present. The purification of the blood cannot be immediately ef. fected by any medicines. The Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills attain this object by acting on the stomach and liver,and thus producing vigorous and healthy digestion, and promoting the operations by which the blood is strained and purified, in the man- ner just described. And when the blood is thus re- stored toa normal and healthy state, the formation ot Pulmonary or Bronchial Consumption is absolutely im possible. If, by neglect,the disorders here described bave been allowed to debilitate the system tosuch a de- gree as to deteriorate the blood so that the first bad cold which the patient takes fastens on the lungs and bronchial tubes, and thus produce the unmistakable signsof Bronchial or Pulmonary Consumption, the Pulmonary Syrup must be used together with one or both of the other remedies, as circumstances may require. For the eure of that complicated disorder know as “Dyspeptic Consumption,” the Pulmonic Syrup can- not be too higniy recommended,as from its altera- tive effects it produces healthy se¢retions, and in conjunction with the “Sea Weed Tonic,” which re- stores tone to the stomach and enables it to properly digést the food, and the “Mandrake Pills.“ to bring about a healthy action of the liver, a cure is certaln. The directions which accompany the Syrup explain when and how to take the Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. III. PULMONIC CON- SUMPTION. This is a most dangerous form of Consumption, The causes which produce it are very numerous, such as hereaitary disposition, a particular forma- tion of the body, certain diseases, as catarrh, small pox, measles, liver complaint, dyspepsia, etc., partic- ular employ ments, grief or disappointment, aud, in short, any cause which disturbs the healthful opera- tions of nature produces the diminution of vital tone, which always precedes an attack of this disease. Pulmonary consumption commences with a feeling of lassitude, shght aching pains, with a seuse of tightness in some parts of the chest, and a short, dry cough, which is readily excited by muscular emotion, The breathing is shorter and more frequent. These symptoms gradually become more conspicuous, and at length slight fever occurs toward evening, and the respiration and pulse coutinue to be somewhat accel: erated through the whole day. A fit of coughing us ually occurs in tne morning, and the patient rises out of bed in a relaxed and feeble condition. There isan extreme liability to take cold on the slightest exposure. By degrees the cough becomes more frequent and troublesome, particularly in the evening and morning. or at night on awakening from sleep. As the disease advances, the skin, lips fever, during which one or botu cheeks become suf- fused with a circumscribed flush; a dry, burning heat is felt in the paims of the nands and solés of the feet, the breathing is very quick and short, and the pulse very frequent, small, quick and tense. These feeble paroxysms continue till toward midnight, when they terminate in more or less profuse perspiration, which cuntinues until morning, leaving the sufferer er- hausted, languid and depressed. Frequently, previous to the occurrence of this train of symptoms, the ex- pectoration becomes thicker, ana not unfrequently mixed with blood. Tne feeling of a loadin the chest and emaciation increase, attended with increasing failure of strength. Toward the unfavorable termination of the disease swelling of the feet and dlarrhœa almost invagiably come on, accompanied with a weak and hoarse voice, difficulty of swallowing, and sometimes ulcerated throat, until death relieves the sufferer, It is generally admitted by medical men of every school that this form of Consumpticn cannot be cured by any application of their art. However, some of the most liberal and enlightenea physicians in Eu- rope and America have thought otherwise, and as 6 testimony of experience is more reliable than any hy- pothecated authority, 1am enabled to declare and to prove that Pulmonary Consumption can be cured and that it has been cured in very many instances; ana that even when it nas advanced to seme of its last stages. One of the first indications ot cure is to strongthen t ystem. and this may be done by the means pointed out above. For that debility which marks the commencement of the disease my Sea weed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup, witha hignly nu- tritious diet, are the best remedies. When the sys- tem is strengthened and the digestive organs are re- stored to their heaithful tone, the most aiarming symptoms will disappear, These medicines arrest the progress of the disease almost immediately when the circumstances are favorable, and sometimes, when the case, by neglect or delay, has become al- most hopeless, in the estimation of physicians gener- ally. The Syrup promotes expectoration and enables the system to throw off the disease. No one denies that when the patient cannot discharge the morbia matter by expectoration death speedily ensues, By keeping the phiegm loose the patient is enabled to raise it easily, and the diséased matter which ob structs the lungs is removed, the ulceration is healed and the sufferer is gradually restored to health. DR. SCHENCK’S MANDRAKE PILLS Do not produce sickness at the stomach, ‘nausea or griping. On the contrary, they are so mild and agreeable in their action that a person suffering with sick headache, sour stomach, or pain in the bowels, is speedily relieved of these distressing symptoms. They act directly on the liver, the organ which, ° witen in a healthy condition, purifies the blood for the whole body. In all eases of Liver Complaint or Dys- pepsia, when there is great weakness or de- bility, Dr. Schenck’s Seaweed Tonie should be used in connection with these Pills. DR.

W and Soc : ON THE BOURSE. Wheat Speculators Looking Higher Markets. The Exchange Gum Chewers—How Dull It Is—Fraley’s Side—Notes From the Floor. The St. Louis wheat speculators are a badly mixed set of men just now. Most of them are bearishly inclined, but they are afraid to sell. The stock of No. 2 wheat has run down so low here and millers are such persistent purchasers that the bears are unwilling to go short, fearing to work themseives into a squeeze if they do. From what can be learned there is not much of a shortage in Mav wheat, The “ring boys” say there is no difficulty in ringing out contracts. Nearly ali the firms on the floor are evened up on the deal, having it bought from one and sold to another or vice versa, Still there are some wh ‘ofess to believe that May wheat will be — — Just to avoid that possibility. nearly all the traders are shunning May and turning their attention to the year option. How a “‘cor- ner” can be run in May with a line of shorts to be manipulated, itis hard to understand. It is be- lieved by some that cash wheat will become 80 scaree in this market that the price will be forced up to $115 and probably 81 20 before very long: that this will advance the options and te shorts here will be badly squeezed. It looks very much though as if it would be the millers, who will want the cash wheat, who will be squeezed instead of the shorts. Ou tie other hand, it is stated that the advance is only a scheme of the bulls, who are anxious to force the market up, so they Can unload and put out a line of shorts at the higher prices. And itis also said that if the rice goes much higher the millers, who have afely bought about 350,000 bushels No. 2 wheat, will unload it; and also that certain parties here have representatives througn the country buying up ali the wheat they can find, and this will be brought in when needed to help break the market. But outside the St. Louis market indi- cations seem to point to higher prices next week. In Chicago the big shorts are still said to be hold- ing On. and that a move is on foot to force a sharp advance with the result if possible to shake them out. Then a line is to be sold and the mar- ket hammered lower thanit has yet been. Al- ready are reports of damage to the crop besiu- ning to come in, ahd now an improved export de- mand in New York is spoken of. The general impression on the floor is for higher markets to be followed by a sharp break. THE GUM-CHEWING RAGE. The fact that an auti-tobacco society had been formed on Change is not generaliy Known to the outside public. It was started by the rotund and rosy Col. A. E. Babcock, otherwise Knowu as “The man from Norbonue.“ The only vice the Colonel has is chewing gum. He is as fond of that insipid article as the worst gum-chewer at Vassar or auy other female academy. As ne is always provided with a plentiful supply of tolu aud ready to accommodate his friends, he has gradually got a great mavy ot the boys into the habit of gum- chewing. To look at the Call Board some- times one would imaglue he was facing a free lunch ora graduating class from the Normal. Some of the traders have become really reck!ess in their tolu mastication. Ben Barnes, next to the Colonel, leads in this art, with Bob Golson pressing him hard for place. Tom Carter chews lis cum in a rakish, recKless man- ner, giving the looker-on the impression that he is a bold, b-a-a-d man. Oswald Graves is a novice as yet, and sieals away behmd a heater, where he ean chew and atthe same time think out start- ling sentiments for his circular letters. Amadce Coie tries to chew his tolu and fine cul at the same time, but has not made a glariug success at it as yet. Really an expert, cousidering the short time he has been at it, is Web M. Samuel. It is really soothing to one’s spirits to see how caressingiy he fondies the tolu wulle he chews, and the uvalloyed content the performance gives him. Tom Francis has stopped “gumming” since he gota wad mixed up with his hair and had to have his head shaved. It ix said that President Francis and ex-President Ewald are late con- verts, Dut not having passed their apprentice- ship. and withal rather diffident ‘about their manner of chewing, they only per- torm in the seclusion that their owu rooms graut. To accommodate the large aud rapidly growing number of this society, itis understood that the Exchange directory intend to have one of the numerous blackboards cleaned nicely and tLe name of each of the members placed thereon, so that he cap nave some safe place to stick his “chew” when he wishes to give his jaw arest. 8 DULL! DULL! DULL! “Well, this is the most disgusting blank market Jever did see, remarked a broker as he stood guzing ruefully mu the empty pit, his hands plunged ihto bis pauts pockets and his whole ap- pearance giving every evidence of tne disgust he strove to express in words. He had been trying for five minutes or so to fill an order, aud all his shouting. entreaties and threats failed to stir up the slightest inferest among the few traders who sat around listiessly on the steps. Some ot them seemed to look upon bim as a rare curiosity. He had au order. The above is no fancy sketch, as the St. Louis grain brokers will have to contess. The past week was one of the dullest iu grain speculative circles in the annals of St. Louis,since it became an option market of any note. Orders were so scarce that the majority of the brokers didn’t make enough in commissions to pay for a free lunch, with a beer attachment. This scarci- ty of orders made trading extremely light. Must of this trading was “scalping,” and as there were no lambs to be sheared the boys scalped“ one another. It seemed impossibie to work up any enthusiasm. Even the usualiy ubiquitous Moses Fraley was saddened and subdued, and only oce- sionally would his high-pitched voice resound through the hall, When it did it met no response and died away with aslow, mourntul cadence that was truly dispeartening. The bulls pressed the graceful, but elephantine Charley Bateson into service to stirup the crowd with his fog born, but even he was a failure, and atter the market breaking @own suddenly while he was in the midst of a solo, he gave it up and retired in dis- gust. ; ess A STORY WITH A MORAL. ; Moses Fraley told an interesting story the other day that differed from his usual anecdotes in having a moral attached. It is an inveresting moral, too, aud n will strike a good many who have been there. A few of the grain traders had been talking of the bull and bear side of the market, and John White, speaking in defense of the former, had said, Well, you will admit that it takes Capital to work the bull side, No sboe- string speculator can do it successfully.“ Then chipped in Fraley with, I' never forget some- thing that was told me by a certain party—a St. Loulsan—you would know him if I mentioned his name. He used to speculate in stocks through my firm—speculated big, too, and always on the bull side. He lost a good deal of money on tnat side, too. Well, one day he came to my office. 1 asked him if he wanted to do anything, and said he.“ No; not if I have to buy. Look here, Fra- ley,” said he, I have been figuring. Do you know but that is not the worst. I find out that in that amount is just $80.000 that I paid for interest in carrying the stock 1 bought. Now, I tell you what I'm going todo. Every man who speculates will lose money, but herealter I'm going to take the short side and let the other fellow pay for the privilege of carrying the stocks.“ And as the crowd broke up, One remarked to the other, “Js that the reason Fraley works the short side?” ** * ae Wogen aer, HARE. Ow J. B. M. Kehior, the miller, got away wit President Francis in a certain wald trade Se tone about as follows: Both Kehlor and Fraucis want ed a tot of Wheat held by a certain firm. Franeis in order to flud out how the storage stood on the wheat, called upon Mr. Keilor, who is also Presi- dent of the elevator whereiu the wheat lay. At- ter assuring him the storage was all right, Kehlor asked him ff he intended to buy the wheat. “You tov.” Kehlor dian’t say anything, but he whip- ped on his Overcoat and started out the door. Rut the Exchange Presiaent’s legs are lengthy aud he went down stairs three steps at a time. Then he went at a rapid pace to tue office of the sellers of the wheat.
