This offer was also refused. } Mr. Phil Stock was not in his office this morning, and the reporter spent some time in a fruitless search for him. In addition to the talk about individual cor- ruption in the House of Delegates, the air is fail of rumors as to ORGANIZED CORRUPTION, It ts said that the late reorganization was effected through bribery and promises of reward to the men who voted witu the majority. It is saia that the principal committees of the House were all selected before the Speaker was chosen. Very little of the doings of the Demo- cratic Caucus which named the officers has trans- pired, but a fow facts bave leaked out. It seems that the two Democratic votes which enabled the Republicans to organize last year, and which were in doubt this year, were se- cured by two handsome “dickers.” The votes alluded to are those of Messrs. Sullivan and Coss- man. Sullivan is a boss-painter, and he has as- sociated with hima gentleman with the proud Hibernian appellation of Danie! O'Connell Tracy. Mr. Sullivan was told that if be would vote with the Democrats for. a Speaker he would be given the position of Cierk of the House for his partner in business, Mr. Daniel O'Connell Tracy. Mr. Sullivan agreed that he would give his vote in re- turn for such a consideration. But as the duties attached to the clerkship are many and call for assiduous attention, and as Mr, Tracy did not like to give uD his business. it was settled that another assistant clerk would be appointed, an d that the first assistant clerk could do most of Mr. Traey's work, leaving Mr. Tracy free to pursue his studies in art, This matter settled, the next reereant voter, Cossman, was secured. Coss- man’s vote was given in consideration of the promise that his father-in-law, Philip Sieger, would be given the position of sergeant-at-arms. As is generally known, these bargains were fully carried out. Another vote went over to the Dem- crats, entirely unsought for but still very useful; that was the vote of Mr. Curis. Schawacker, Re- publican, from the First Ward, whose reward has not yet been shown up on the board, but which will be made apparent, doubt- less, When the committees have been named, There Was One man who was disappointed in the caucus. His name is Rooke, and he hails from the Fin Ward. He is a Democrat evidently, for all there is in it, and he went into the Demo- cratic @aucus inspired with the laudable idea of securing one of the offices for a bos om friend. Said Mr, Rooke to the caucus: “Gentlemen, I shali not vote for your Speaker unless you give me the privilege of naming the assistant clerk.” * PME GENTLEMEN OF THE CAUCUS knew they could dispense with Mr. Rooke’s vote, and they told him to go out and sweat awhile. Then I,” said the Rooke, ‘With my little crook, ll leave the caucus.” ve the cavcus, Furthermore, chen voting came around he voted with Qn every time. Now, the House be- the question of who shall be on the domes up. The alr- nus been thick past few days that Mr. Ed Butler * oom uttees up himsetf before the Speaker was elected, and that the Speaker was elected only after a promise had been given that he would ve assisted by outsiders in making up his committees, MR. THOS. J. CORNELIUS was the chairman of the last railroad committee. Said he to the reporter: “If those committees are already made up I know nothing about it. I have heard that they are. I don’t know whether they are or not. All I know is this: There was a regular caucus of the Democrats of the House of Delegates and I, as a straight Democrat, went jnto it. 1 was loth to go into it because. J was satisfied that the committees were in good condition, and that Speaker Mar- riott was a good man in his place. In spite of his being an opposition Speaker he gave most of the cor:mittees to the Democrats. Now, I dian’t like to see the usual state of things disturbed, and I attended the caucus reluctantly, and voted at its dictation with some regret. I bave heard a dozen rumors that the committees were made up before the Speaker was chosen, but I did not pay atten- tion to them. I know the present Speaker, Mr. Walsh, to bea man of large legislative experienc and a man who will use great discretion in the appointment of the committeee. Rooke left the caucus because he eould not get a position for his friend Schroeder.” ö Mr. John H. Terry said this morning: “I have heard, yes, that the committees are already made up. I don't know anything about it, though, I can say this—that nothing was said in caucus about it. Icame into the caucus late, and I with N make a bad break, though, when he asked that one of the offices be given to bim, and went ont lu a temper about u.

I can tell you this, that out of the twenty-eight meu in the House of Delegates thirty-two want to get on the Rallroad Committee.“ “Have you ever heard of a ring of members who make overtures to people pushing private bilis through?” . “Well, now,” said Mr. Terry, “you are asking an open question, I have heard that there is such aring and 1 have seen things done which go to confirm this report. But I can’t tell you any- thing about it.” A STEAMBOAT IN FLAMES. Many Lives Lost and $50,000 Worth of Property Destroyed.

Griffith Humphrey Guilty of the Charge Brought by Laura Jones. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, New Yorn, April4—If the Rev. Griffith H. Humphrey was surprised at the decision rend- ered in the Special Sessions yesterday when Jus- tice Smith notifiea him that he would be com- pelled to pay $5 a week for the support of the child of Laura C. Jones, of which he is charged with being the father, he did not manifest it. All the counsel in the case were present and the seais for spectators were well filled, the injunction of secrecy having deen re- moved. The defendant occupied a seat near the trial table. His face was pale, and the only indication of nervousness was an occasional twitching of the fingers of his right band. The ‘compiminant, Miss Jones, was bot esent, but she was represented by Owen E. | Alter the witnesses had signed weir de- positions, Justice Smith took his seat and in- uired if counsel bad anything furtuer to offer. here being no response, he said, addressing Mr. | phrey, ‘The prosecution has established the truth of the allegation, and the decision of the } court at you furnish security in the sum of for the pay⸗- ment of $5 per week for the support of the child of Laura C. Jones.” Mr. Humphrey slight- ly inclined his head but said nothing. Counsel for defendant immediately entered an appeal and for the appearance of tue de- wus given by Mr. bert Lewis, of the deacons of the churen of whicn r. Humphrey is pastor. This ended the proceed ings and the court passed to the con- sideration of other c.ises. ALL THE PARTIES INTERESTED then withdrew from the court room to the ro- tunda, Where they stood in little groups discuss- ing the result, r, Owen was accompanied by bis son and daughter, the latter a girl of 15 years, and, with one or ‘two others, they were standing on one side of the cor- ridor. Pastor Humphrey and Mr. Reese, one of his friends, Were on the other side. A moment later the attention of the reporter was atiracted by loud talk. The groups had broken up, and there was ap animated dialogue going on between Pastor Humphrey and Mr. Owen. The conversa- tion was carried on lu the Welsh language. It Pas very evident, however, thatthe presence ef astor Humphrey's enemy had so excited that gentleman that even the Christian resiquation with which he bas so meekiy borue his troubies, could not restrain him, aud he poured forth VIALS OF WRATH on the head of the luckless Owen, who retorted, and the preacher, approacuing closely to him, shook his finger near Owen’s face as he con- tinued to abuse him. Owen fell back in good or- der and Mr. Humphrey foilowed bim. Tie ex- cited pair gesticu.ated wildly, describing a sem. circle in their movement around the corridor, much to the amusement of spectators. *What did Mr. Humphrey call vou?“ was asked of Mr. Owen alter tue pastor had cooled down. “He cursed me,” said Mr. Owen, “and charged me with having been instrumental in br neing the * Agalust him. I denica this, telling bim that Miss Jones had made tire charge, and that I simply gave her my aid in gel- ting redress for her wrvuiigs. He thon continued to abuse me.” “You ought to have heard what Mr. Humphrey said,” spoke up Mr. Owen’s little daughter. “He cursed and swore just like any man on the street.” Les,“ said a young man who also spoke Welsh, 2 called Mr. Owen names that I would not re- pe securit fe a o ONLY WAITING. The Prohibitionists are Very Hopeful on the Micawber Plan. “Governor, what has become of the Prohibition party? Has it amalgamated with one of the old organizations?” asked a reporter of Gov. John- son, who was sunning himself on Filth street after lunch to-day. “Don’t make any mistake,” was the reply, “We are merely resting on our oars and waiting to see what the old parties are golug to do.“ “Why, do you expect anything favorable from the State conventions?” “On the contrary, we expect tnem to act entirely in behalf of the beer and whisky interests. The representatives of that interest are the most active politicians in the country to-day, and they have more system about their work. They have an abundance of money, too, which they Will use liberally so far as they deem it necessary to protect themselves.“ “And you think they put iu their work at the primaries?” think they have stocked both conventious, and I wilinot be surprised if, when the national conventions have been held, there be not a cal] from the national Prohibition party inviting all Prohibitionists to stand out apart and maiutain an identity of their own thereafter.” “What good will that do?

PANAMA, March T. — The Peruvian Minister of Foreign Affairs, replying to the protest of En- gland against the clause in the treaty of peace, be- tween Chili and Peru, cecing the nitrate and guano beds to Chili, which England ciaimed asa guarantee of the payment ofthe Peruvian debt. says in substance that Peru, when negotiating the treaty, acted in virtue of the right, she possessed for seit government, a richt acknowledged from the moment of her in- dependence by all nations, and she cannot con- sent tu auy foreign interference without wound. ing her rights asa sovereigeu aud independent Sule and without abdicating or jeopardizing those prerogatives whic . ave has always respect- ed lu Other nations: so that she has not consult- ed, nor does she consider her- seit obliged to consult, with them, regarding her treaties, lest she might endanger the basis of her own proper existence. The debts originated from loans effected with private par- ties, regarding whose -nationality the Govern- ment never thought proper to inquire, as those debts have never assumed an international character,. Although they may now be partly held in English hands, yet at any time they may be transferred to ersons ot any otuer nationality. Peru owes nothing to Englund as a government or state, and cunse- quenily the loans referred to cannot be made sub- ject to diplomatic interference, It is a matter of publie notoriety that for four years past the mort- caged property has not been in the possession of *eru, yet during that time caygoes of nitrate and guunv from the property have been sold in for- eign ports without a protest ov the part of tile nations now making the protest, although Peru sougut to embargo those cargoes abroad Iiaiter tue war Peru ground herself obliged to sacrifice property, coustituting a mortgage, she his so proceeded tor ber own preservation, which is the first and most imperative duty of a State.

That is just what it amounts to. — — — Tur Liberal Ministry in Eugland must go. One ef the Ministers has not used any of- ficial mourning paper to indicate the grief which filled his official heart when Prince Leoro.p died. handsome District Attorney is to the civil suits against the Star Let us hope that he will not his pay on the OUR manage Route thieves. be obliged to depend for money he recovers, ON general principles we ‘are inclined to favor anything which takes the shape of opposition to the ring rule of our local De- mocracy. But regard for truth compels us to say that the new Dude“ organization does not promise much. — — WE are reques ted by representatives of several of the pianing mills of St. Louis to state that they did not know of any com- bination in bidding on their work for the city. The request is accompanied by such evidence of the truth of their statement that we cannot question it, and cheerfully give them the vindication they deserve. | — ee PERHAPS the worst crank in the Senate is-the gentleman who modestly calls on the Government to appropriate $150,000 for the establishment of five separate institutions for cultivating silk-worms. We velieve that silk culiure has been tried in other coun- tries, very complete experiments having been made through long series of years. It would be cheaper for the Senator to buy a book. Ina murder trial - yesterday a physician summoned as an expert testified that per- sons afflicted with epilepsy often become in- ane. Inasmuch as persons not afflicted with epilepsy also become insane, and inas- much as all murderers are either subject to epilepsy or else not subject to it, the logical inference is that a murderer is as a general rule an insane person. This is a cheerful doctrine for citizens contemplating murder, but it is not reassuring to their vietims. Tun default on the Mexican National Road does not prove anything in conan tion with the future of fallroads in Mex- jeo. The Mexican National has been a sin- gularly wismanaged corporation in every department. Its credit has been bad from the beginning. and as itis still unfiniahea and consists of two unconnected branches it has no earhing capacity whatever. The true test will not be made until after the Mexican Central has had a full year’s ex- perience of the new conditions, The pres. eut Outlook, we are sorry to WN not promising. — —— Tur Union Club of New York has had rather frequent mention in the papers re- cently, seldom of an agreeable or pii- mentary nature. It deserves the thank} of society, however, for practically the blackguard member who abus od the priv- legs of the club by insulting a fellow mem- ber, It does not much matter thas the in- sulted person was Mr. Freppie dunnanbr. The important feature of the caso wae that this country pretends te be civilized, and yet public opinion iu this country inclines to e e called a liar and a inebriated blackguard is un- outrage. The action of the club in pun- the offence should be a great encour- agement to all decent and right minded peo- be — _BISMARCK’S COMMUNISM. | N The old adage that extremes meet is veri- fied again in the united support which im- ‘and communism give to Bis- MAnck's bill for the insurance of working- men's families against loss by injury or death, It compels companies to divide a portion of their profits with the families of employes injured or dying in their service.. BisMARCK’S policy is to popularize pater- nal despotism in government, and the com- munist as well as the imperialist aims at the fusion of all individual rights, powers and belongings under the tremendous press- ure of a government organization which owns, controls, decides, and does everything, permitting the individual todo nothing but what the State commands, and leaving him nothing but what the State gives him, The ouly difference is that the communist wants a despotism of the many regulated by occa- sional outbursts of anarchy, while the impe- rlalist wants a despotism of the few tem- pered by the necessity of humoring the pas- sions of the ignorant masses and occasionally bribing them with money taken from their own pockets. BisMARCK’s bill will, in practice, most probably amount to nothing more than a State control of a portion of the working- man’s wages for his benefit. Whatever pro- viston is made for him by this effort of the State to correct his own improvidence, is sure to come out of hisown wages, directly or indirectly, and whether or not it will im- prove his condition remains to be seen. As to his claims on his employer for damages from accidents occurring without contribu- tory fault or negligence on his part, they are already much better provided for by the law of Germany than by the law of Missouri. In this country the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has effected an arrangement with its employes by which, for a small percent- age of their wages, a well-managed fund is created to make liberal provision for them and their families in case of sickness, dis- abling accidents or death in the service. Such voluntary arrangements as these are not only more in accordance with the genius of our institutions and the old Anglo-Saxon idea of individual liberty and responsibility, but are productive of better results than any form of paternal guardianship or interfer- ence by the government. AUSTRIA“ GRIEVANCE, Austria ‘ appeals to England to unite with her in a joint appeal tothe New World to put a stop to certain crimes that are com- mitted in the countries of the Old World. Preposterous as it may seem, that is what the appeal amounts to. It assumes that the cessation er continuance of such crimes as murder and robbery, is to depend, not upon the laws and police adininistration of the lo- calities in which the crimes are actually co mmitted, but upon the laws and police administration of another country on the opposite side of ‘an ocean 3,000 miles wide, where reside certain evil-disposed persons who are accused of conspiring to excite others to commit those crimes. A coincidence is pointed out between the rabid oratory emitted at Herr Most’s Pitts- burg meeting of Socialists and the beginning of what Count KALNOKY calls a reign of terrorism and mur- der in Vienna, the capital of the great Empire of Southern Europe, Because those crimes are in line with the rabid rant of Herr Most, a half-crazed refugee who is an object of general derision in this country, Count KALNOKY thinks that we should try the old crank for those murders and hang him regardiess of the corpus delicti or the alibt which he can establish by 10,000 wit- nesses, It will be a cold day for humanity when any British Cabinet joins in any such demand as that. lf, however, Count KALNOKY can, as he says, furnish incontestible proofs that Herr Most and others in this country plotted those crimes, sent agents to commit them, directed iheir murderous operations with letters of instruction and had the proceeds of the rob- beries sent to them in this country, that is quite another affair. There is no need to call on England for support in such a case as that. All Austria has to do is to furnish our Goverment with the proofs agi return the bloody instructions to plague the invent- or. Wepunish no man for the mere utter- ance of crooked doctrines wholly unconnect- ed with seditious acts in this country. Neither do we punish one man for another’s crimes. But the right of asylum as we uphold it does not protect murderers and robbers or their accessories — — EERE is testitying before the Springer Com- mittee, Grorex Buss expresses the opinion that the case against KRLLodd is a strong one, if WALSu’s papers don't need WALsu's testimony to make them links in the evi- dence.” This is another intimation that Waten is keeping out of the way and can- not be relied on as a witness. Yet the New York Times the other day published a letter from this same WALen to the President, in which he bitterly complains of statements in the papers that he is lying concealed in New York, and that detectives and agents of the Department of Justice have been secking him in vain with subponas for many months. He proclaims the alleged hunt for him a sham, and denounces as ab- surd the statement that he is concealed.

OLiver B. Payne authorized the proprietor of the Kansas City Times to an- nounce in his paver on Wednesday that the Hon. Henry B. Payne will neither bea candidate for the Democratic nomination, nor accept the nomination if conferred upon him, It is also announced that this con- clusion has been reachec after mature con- sideration, and is positive, unequivocal and unalterable. But in close connection with this announcement goes the statement in all the PAyNg papers of Ohio that Mr. PAYNE's son-in-law, WX. C. Wuityey of New York, says this is a year when the peo- ple are seeking candidates, and the more a man deciines the more he is wanted, It is also added that Mr. TLD has carefully pointed out to Gen. Gorpon of Georgia three considerations which satisfy him that PAYNE would be an invincible candidate, while he deciines tosay what chance there would be of electing any other nominee. So there comes from Columbus the informa- tion that Ohio politicians interpret this Payne declaration as a mere stratagem to disarm the opposition to Payne in Ohio, and secure there a solid old ticket” delega- tion, which will eventually resolve itself into a solid Payne delegation in the conven- tion. People who are working the old ticket“ boom are thus notified that there is a reserve bar'!“ on tap, which will not dis- appoint them if the original one should prove inaccessible. — THE New York Herald calls attention to the remarkable circumstance that on every Republican ticket LINCOLN comes in for Vice-President. If the boom starters are wise they will stop this business. aspiring favorite for the second placeis al- most sure to be the inevitable choice for the first place. — — Work and W ages. From the Boston Herald (Ind). The abstracts which were given yesterday by our Paris correspondent from the reports made by the delegation of Paris workmen who visited this city last falishow how thoroughly delusive are the self-complacent assumptions made by the defenders of the American system of protection, that the condition of the American workingman is infinitely beiter than that of workingmen in other parts of the world. These Parisian meehan- ics, Who bad passed their lives in Freuen work- shops aud were not mere theorists, asserted that the condition of wage-earners in France was pref- erable to that of the same class in America, and that. if given their choice, they would prefer to make the struggie for existence iu the old than in the new world. And it was not mere national pride that caused them to arrive at this conclusion, for they point out the reasons that have controlled their judgment—reasons which we have more than once been rebuked for insisting upon. They admit that the American workingman earns more money per diem than the French workingman, but they assert that he does this because he works harder. In the milisa single operative has charge of several machines, while in France he would refuse to operate more than one. But, in spite of extra labor. he is no better off than the French mechanic, for the cost of all of the uecessities of life isso high that he needs his entire surplus earnings to buy what the Frenchman obtains with his smaller income. In other words, in the scale of living there is no per- ceptible difference, but in order to live the Amer- ican laborer is compelled to put a constgat strain upon his vital energies, while the Frenchman works easily and takes life comfortably. This is the conclusion drawn by men who came here with a predisposition in favor of our industrial sys- tem, and wuo have gone back home impressed with the conviction that protection has not made America the paraaies of the workingman, 12 a Divvy.“ From the Philadelphia Record. The wicked, desperately wicked Harrisburg Patriot suggests that “inasmuch as any tariff laid with a view of raising revenue sufficient to meet the necessary expenses of the Government will result in protection to domestic tndustrv, an industrial bureau should be established by Con- aress With authority to make a just apportion- meut of the profits derivea from the tariff by the protected industries between the labor and capi- tal employed in such industries,” This proposi- tion of a fair divide” between employer and em- ploye will receive no favor at the hands of pro- tectionists. It is a doctrine that they put in their stump speeches aud strike out of their business calculations. “We pay labor.“ they cry. all it is worth—all it will bring in the market. What more can it demand?” When the laborer desires o buy What he eats, drinks, wears, and works with in tbe open market, exempt {from the in- creased cost imposed by protective legislation, it is avery different matter, Labor is required to pay its share of tariff taxation to the ubtermost farthing. Again, we say, how couid the Patriot so barrow the soul of monopoly as to propose a division of the swag? The Colored Vote. From the New York Globe (Negro Organ). The race in the South should be taught that the national Republican party bas neither the power nor the inclination to euse their burdens, to rem- eay their condition. This can only be done by making honorable coudilions with the dominant party in the South; by cultivating * * tle white vote upon local, not race issues; by sing to look tothe national Goverument for protec- tion, which has studiously denied It, and to look to the State governmentss which alone can give it. This cannot be done by riveting more tightly the chains of party allegiance. It must be done by a wise policy in accepting the Dioody situation aud going to work manfully to remedy it by max- ing common cause with the people of the South on the questions of home rule g honest govern- ment, and a free-trade tariff. The colored people of the South must make common political cause with the white peopie of the South. When they do thai when they support honest white men for office, and make the cause of good government and fair representation the issue, and thas split the solid phalanx of Bourbonism, they will be in & position to get justice. of the Republicans, may lead to the happening of the expected in two directions, There is no Blaine or Arthur if they were sure of betug able The un- a OnE ve — 5 ** voters | . would give him two. The Presidential election is not yet settled. There isa danger ahead for one party, and a chance for whe other. - — Not for Chandler 2 5 From the New York Times (Rep.) Large additions are made to the naval appro- priation bill as it came from the House by the Senate Committee on Appropriations. The House authorized an expenditure of $14,333,006. To this the Senate has added §6,461.080, of which the prineipal item is 62.300, 000 for the construction of | . additional steel vessels for the navy. These con- siderable additions to the navy, it is provided, are to be planned under the supervision of the Naval Advisory Board, but all plans must be finally ap- proved by the Secretary ot the Navy, and all con- tracts must be given out and concluded by bim.

The jury in the case of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company of Cleveland, Ohio, against the Texas and St. Louis Railway Company, brought ina verdiet in the United States Qircuit Court yesterday evening in favor of the Roiling Mill Company for $79,448. The suit in question grew out of & contrac. between the plaintiff and defendant by which the roiling mill company agreed to de- liver to the raliway company 15,000 gross tons of Bessemer steel rails at 862 ber ton. The railway compauy,after receiving 7,665 tons and 710 pounds, refused to rece'yve any more, leaving 7.334 tons and 1,530 pounds ou the rolling mill company’s hands. At the time of the making of the coutract Bessemer steel rails were worth $62 per ton, but at the time of the refusal on the part of the railway company to receive the rails they were worth ouly $52 per ton. The rolling mili company, therefore, sued for the difference in the market value, 810 ver ton on 7.334 tons and 1,590 pounds. Judgmeut Was reudered by the court in accordance with the above verdict for $70,448. Silk Umbreilas, $3 00 to 815 00. Mermod & Jaceard Jeweiry Co., 4th and Locust The Leather Gazette.

M., March M. Deep in the heart of the inineral kingdom of the United States New Mexico, with its arteries extending in every di- réction calling in the lite biood of the territory to this center, and in exchange pulsating and throp~ bing as it sends out to every part the necessities of life, lies the city of Socorro. Three years ago and but little signs of the new town were visible. Tue original town, named for Our Lady of Succor, was one of the oldest Span- ish settlemeuts. It was completely destroyed during the Pueblo revolution of 1630, but was re- built again in adobe and the old church resusci- tated. Itis located on a slight elevation about one-half mile from the Rio Grande, with the grim outlines of Socorro Mountain rising in the back- ground in massive grandeur. THE NEW CITY Sprang up like magic, for around it was the lons, Gallinas, Socorro, San Felicite Limitar, Poivaderi, Ladroues, Pueblo, Iron Mountain, Bear Mountain, Water Canyon, Cuchilla Negro, Cabelio, Oscura, Oscura copper fields and num- berless other localities rich in mineral, which, as soon as other work was commenced, furnished employment for thousands whodrew their sup- piles from this common center, From this unfailing source of trade and from this exceptionally good situation Socorro has a future prospect not excelled by any cliy in the Territory. It 1s literally surronnaded by mining camps, andthe Aitchison, Topeka and Santa Fe will undoubtedly build feeders Into all of the important ones iu time, centering bere. At persent they are engaged in building a branch in to the Magdalena Mountains, opening that nue disirict. It is understood that the objeciive polut is Beuson, Arizona, iv order to make the counec- tion wiin the New Mexico and Arizona Railroad and the Sonora Railroad Sa ta Fe, running from Benson ta the City of Guaymas ou the Pucine coast. If this is done the brauen will doubtless become the main thorougb- ture us Benson lies 180 miles west of ming. As an ald to the purely cowmercial interests of this city, to sav nothing of other advantages which everybody reeuguizes, manufacturing is of incalculable value, uere is absolutely noth- ing whica wili so continu: uUsly, so widely and tu every way so effectually advertise a city as the fact Laat it is a manufacuturing place. When we speak of manufacturing at this point we refer, of course, to the general lines peculiarly adapted to tue country and not in the general sense of indis- criminate manipulation. SMELTERS AND STAMP MILIS. At Socoiry are found the most extensive mills for the reduction of ores that are in operation in the territory, aud, in consequence, the city has the reputation and advertisement of tne uumber- lens Car-loads of ore from all of the New Mexicau mining districts coming jthere daily for reduction. There are two sineiters each having a capacity of 150 tous per duy, aud a tweuty stamp mil, which ave all kept cuustanuUy employed. Four fluuring miils are here, three at present in operation, a eigar fac- . a distillery, a brewery and a bottliug works. undreds of thousands of pounds of wool are exported anpually, and a fine opportunity exists tor the opening ol a large woolen mill. The Rio Grande waters could be used fer cleansing, aud tue umount of freight saved by the conversion of the materia into fabric would in itself be a great inducement to start a mill, Asteam laundry woud do Well, A tannery might be made to pay, u soap factory, for using Amvolior Mexican soup weed would be sure to make money-—as this weed, mixed with fats makes a sapouaceous prep- uratlou better than any we have ever seen. A fruit and vegetable canning works would be sure to receive an ainple support, as the amount of canned goods used in the mountatus is enormous. FRUIT ON THE RIO GRANDE. The lands arvund Socurro, Which are suscepti- bie to irrigation, are capable of raising a vast amount of fruit and vegetables, much more th un is ‘required for home consumption, Tue Rio Grande courses through the couutry, and its val- ley varies 10 width from a rough acd precipitous passage cut through. the mountains io a beautiful expanse from vue to five miles wide, The soil is the deposit of ages, a rich alluvium in must places resting on sand, gravel or olay, witu some of the silicious marl. It is arable without fertilization; easily anu cheaply irrigated; and so rich and deep that marvelous returns from little work is the rule, Uuquestlonabiy the valley about Socorro needs mere farmers and fruit growers, and would richly support them. The delightin! climate is another reat advantage of the region which ought pot to underestimated, for the pure bracing atmos- phere of this altitude united with (he almost per- petual sunshine renders it not only heaithiul for man aud beast, but the sive qua non for perfect culture of fruit of all kinds. The farmers of the past were Mexicans and ludiaus—jndifferent, uneducated and tiriftiess. Stiilin the season may be found heavily-laden aw orchards, apples, plums, quinces, nectar- nes, apricots and small fruit, while in grape culture, on account of the ease of cultivation and the perfect certulaty of enormous fruliage, more advancement can be observed. The Missouri grape, which is the one chiefly grown, is u large purple fruit—rich in juices, ex- quisite lu favor, a good shipper, aud. for wine or brandy, uuexcelled upon the sunny shores of Southern France. Corn, wheat, oats, alfalfa and vegetables, all ean be successtully cultivated upon an irrigated tract; the yield is unusually large, it is certain and the market at home is good, witu prices ranging higher at all times than in the East. ' THE CITY OF SOCORRO. The dity is oue of inportanve and possesses re- markable facilities for cduceutration of interests and araughtof trade. In June, 1880, there were but about 2,000, mostly Mexicans; To-day there are al least 4,000, mhe lucrease being entirely Amer- ican ahd the better class of foreign element. Tne Board of Education is composed eutireiy of Americans, and have an efficient public school. Hitherto the Cal holte societies have absorbed the public funds, aud Socorro bas had no nen-sectarian school privileges. Four elurches valued at $25,000 furnish con- veulenees for religious observances, and for a piace of residence the city is unexcelled in the valley, The mountalu views are superb, the drives delighiiui, and the canyons and gurgea romantic and pictaresqué in the extreme. A large amount of bulidingis being done, aud the character of the vusiness houses and residences belug efetted is fully up to the standard. There is no bali suitable for lectures, concerts or the- trical entertainmeuts, and itis one of the im- provements Sucorro heeds badly, An appcoptta. tion bas just been made to erect a Court House and Jail, to cost $40,000.

The Adventures of a Modern Panurge in Search of the Eachanted Oracie. From the Alta Califernia, brought to One of the remarkable thin light in the Sharon vs. Sharen divoree trial, now gving on, is that the plaintiff, Miss A thea Hiil, or Mrs. Sharon, all sorts of tricks to win the Senator’s love, One of her journeys was to a wise woman, wiio will doubtiess cause a good deal of fun when she comes to telt her tale to Judge Sullivan. As the story goes, Althea sought this female, whose sign hangs out in a quiet though re- spectable thoroughfare, and asked for some charm to make Sharon love her or marry ler, which is stili a matter of dispute. The obese sybil, whose portiy form has encum- bered a chair in the ceurt-room ever since the case commenced, gave Althea a charin, which she averred could not fail, and with the punic faith for which such people are noted, told Sharon’s agents all about it afterward. At the hour of midnight, just as the clocks were striking on that night of the month, when the moon had reache her fullest amplitude, Althea was to draw from her soft, round arm three drops of blood, carefully drying and preserving the azure- tinted fluid from any foreign substance, Althea was to find means at some future time to mingle them with the wine thet the object of her affections was about to drink. If she did this without detection and the Senator drained the charmed chalice the desire of Althea’s heart mast surely be ful- filled ere thrice the moon had waned and waxed again. Althea tried. the charm and in due course reported back with words of anger and re- proach that it had failed and then, like Pan- urge, she journeyed on to find another and more satisfactory oracle. This oracle turns out to be the plump and pleasing damse! who always occupies a seat directly behind Senator Sharon. Her shapely palm was duly crossed with gold, She listened to Aithea’s desires and then filled her young disciple’s heart with joy by evoiving from che inner depths of her necromantic art an unfailing plan to bring theaged Croesus to the feet of his young adorer, By stealtny means Althea was to secure one singie hair trom the scanty locks which straggle over the Senatorial brow like rail- road routes across a new country. For thrice three days that hair must repose in Althea’s bosom, and then, to make the charm com- plete, it must be cut in nine equal parts, which were to be placed in an omelette, which Althea and her adored one were to eat in company. Faithfully Althea followed the directions given ber; but, alas. the charm worked not to her satisfaction and once more Althea started out, like Panurge, to tind a truer oracle. How she buried sucks aud collars and tried other divinations with the Senatorial linen has already been told, but there stili remains to tell of many othe strange acts and love philtres. Targenieffs Funeral Expenses, St. Petersburg Dispatch to the London Times. Atter the funeral of Turgenieff the Mu- nicipal Council of St. Petersburg voted the ayment of the expenses out of the public ubds at its disposal, but the Prefect of the city, acting, itis said, with the full con- currence vf Count Tolstoy. the Home Min- ister, placed his veto upon the resolution of the Council, on the ground that the public money in the hands of the 13 could not be spent in a manner that brought no benefit tu the town, This was, of course, in keeping with the opposition that had been — by 2 — — 2 — ning in rega the popular to the remains of Turgeuiet.

Kafir Joe sat at his post, the ferry over the Muvi River, whittling at a new knobxerry. „Ahoy! there, anoy!“ came a voice from the thorn bush on the other side, and Kafir Joe sprang to his feet. ‘“Tukos’ Umnyataiata,” said he to himself, raising nis arms in the salute of a respecttul attention, and went bounding, after the man- ner of the Katir, whether wild or tame, down to the river side. He was soon in the boat, and, pulling at the rope, quickly gained the otber side, Now Inkos“ Umnyatalata, being translated, means Vvice-of-Honey Esquire, for **Voice- of-Honey” was the name which the Kafirs, who nickname every European they meet, had given to Mr. Hugh Bentinck of the Farm ou the Mooi. Witu him, on the farm, was staying just now—and had been for three months—an old schvolfeliow and college ehum, the Inkos’ Kaiounga, or Dare Devil Esquire.” This was the Kafir equivaient for Mr. Jan Cumnor, late of Grey Town, a young gentieman who had made a completo iailure Of his colonial career, and, having now seid his land and stuck for what they would fetch, was reported to be * to Engiand, where prospects, it was said, had suddenly opened to him, Now, Hugh Beutinck was married to one of ihe prettiest, most heartless women that ever wore a wedding-riug. But he thougit her absolute perfection. Once only in nis life had Hugh seen a fault in her, and that was when she insisted on riding a sick horse rather than foregoa visit to a Boer peddier’s cart that was halted some five miles off in a thern-bush. Le horse aied the same night. But all Fiorry said was that she was not altogether sorry, as she thougut the horse had taken to shying at water of late. Cum- nor, who was at the farm at the time, rode over the next morning to Grey Town and brought back Pearl, the best horse in Natal, as apresent for his charming hustess—a parting present. For I must really be off to England, he said. “il came for a day aud have been here three months and more.“ . „But not & day too long, 614 man,” said Bentinek; “I wish you could stay here aito- gether.” For the husband was the only man in the colony who did not Know that Alan Cumnor was in love with his wife. Even the Kafirs about the farms knew it. She used to be called ‘ine flouwer-bird,” but now was the “Inkosikasa Uiami’—‘the lady witu two nusbands.“ But at last even Bentinck knew it—aud this is how the truth came out. It was the day before Alan Cumnor's go- ing. He had been absent for four days— having ridden to the laudrost’s office ou the Transvaal border to make arrangements, as he wished to travel by land, tur conveyance by way of the Free State duwn into the Cape Coiony. Hugh also had been away, on his friend's busiuess, to purchase some horse- geur tuat was needed. But as he was ridin down through the thorn his horse stralue itself, and he left it at the Kaur post-lodge. and walked home the last three miles on foot It was already darkening when he reached home, but seeing the ligut in his dining- room, be walked across the garden, making a short cut, and was in the act of stepping on w the veranda when he saw his wife, Fiorry, With her arms around Alan Cum- nor’s neck. ‘The shuck was more than he could bear, and he siuggered a step or two and tell to the ground. The noise startled the lovers, for Florry came to the door. Cumnor followed her’ t was only your fancy, darling!

Aud then they went inside again. The shutters were closed and Hugh say there. At last, on his bands and knees, he crawled away like some wounded thing. His dog saw him and rushed at him, tuinking he was some wild beast; but he wurmured its name and it went along by his side, licking his face, and whimpering its poor, pathetic svm- — Then Hugu raised himself on his nees and alter a while got on his feet, and with his dog beside him, walked round to tue front ol the house aud called out to his -ery- ants. 8 an to bark. shouted in respuuse. be front door was thrown —and there stood his wife, radiant with of welcome. . gracivus!” said she, “What is the matter with you?

When Joe was out of sight Hugh got into ~ boas and waited. An bour had passed, when— “Ahoy, there, ahoy?“ came a familiar voice ringing across the river, aad with his back to the newcomer Hugh took the rope in band and begay pulling the boat across. As he neared the bank he 8 a pull with all his might and then, as the ferrv-boat glided up to Jand, he turned around and faced, as he had expected, Alau Cumnor. Neither spoke. Hugh was as grim as death, Alan speechless with amazement. But Hugh leaped out aud taking hold of the horse with one hand and his friend with the other led them to the boat. Alan stepped in mechanically and Hugh began to pull at the rope. Half way across he stopped. “It’s a short distance,” he said, pulling out two revolvers, but so much the better for both of us,” Then he gave Alan one. “Stand up,” said he, “on that end there— clear of the hurse, ishall stand up at this end and huld the buat steady. And listen—” a plover Was compialulng with its monoton- vus cry upon the riverside— count the bird’s cries, I shall fire at the fifth.” Aian said never a word, and the plover cried *‘pee-weet.”’ “Oue—” said High. Aud there they stood, the outraged hus- band and the lover facing one another, the ferryboat’s length between them, while the bird wailed out the measure of their lives. Twice—three times-—four times—came the desolate cry along tne water. The two mea raised their pistols. Pee-weet! The reports were simultaneous; and then, on a sudden, Alan, shot turougn the fore- head, reeled back aud fell into the swift- running river. And Hugh, throwing the re- vulvers into the water, took the rope again and pulled across. He led the horse out and twok it up tw the store. From the saddie-bags he took some papers ad- dressed to himself and read them. As he had expected, they were his Uncle Foster's wiil, in his, Hugh Bentinck’s favor. and the title deeds uf his property on the Transvaal border. He put them into his pocket and sat down, while Joe went down to the river. My wife is coming over,“ said he to Joe, „but don't say I am here.” And Joe gig- gled prodigiously at being @ partner in a joke with the Inkos. They had not long ta wait. **Ahoy, there, anoy!“ It was Florry. Hagh watched her from the door —she rode up, flushed with excitement and more beau- tiful than he had ever seen her, so he thought, and all his love came to his lips again. My darling,” he murmured, and now she was at the door. “Alan!” she cried out and lo! in answer to her voice there stepped out her husband! But for his ariu she would have fallen trom her saddle. As it was she bent her head upon her horse’s neck and fainted. It was only for the minute, however, and her hus- band gave her brandy and water, and then, before she knew it, she found herseif out with him alone in the veidt, the horses, like familiars iu the stable, pacing along siae by side with mutual recognition. „Good heavens!” she sudden! ‘‘where did you get that horse?“ riding Alan’s—‘‘And where is he?“ Wal tell you by and by,” said he, in a voice so stern that she trembled with a sud- den fear. “You are not going to kill me, are you Hugh 9 No, Florry, Lam quite unarmed.

At night they staid at Carson's farm and next day reached the jandrost’s. Carson went with them to be witness to the deeds and to swear to Hugh’s identity, and it took but little time to hage the deeds transferred, for the Boers wanted Richard Foster's lands aud buildings and Hugh was very glad to sell them, and so the landrost himsell paid the money over there and then in a check on Pietermaritzburg and the business was over. Husband and wife were alone again. “Florry,” said he, give me those dia- monds, aod she took them out and then Hugh made them up into a parcel with the check for tweive thousand pounds and his waich and chain and the ring she had given bim three years before, when wey were married; and he tied them all up tightly to- gether in a leather bag and gave it her. “And now, he said slowly and with a sadvess iu his voice that pierced her like a sword, “you can take his conveyance, | find be has made everything ready for the journey overiand to Cape own.

The public sentiment has been shocked by some newspaper reports of the way in which the extreme penalty ot the law was carried out on a recent occasion by Marwood’s suc- cessor. May we not take a lesson from our neighbors in this matter? In Austria, tor instance, where capital offenses are punished by hanging, the executioner is a Goverament official, with a fixed salary and certaia per- quisites, and a staff of helpers under Him. He is attired in a showy ualfor with a eocked hat and jack boots, and rides up to the scaffvid un a prancing steeu under mili- tary escort. Conspicuous are the new white gloves worn in performing his function and thrown off afterwards never. to be u again. This functionary (der Scharfrichter) is not chosen from the scum of the popula- tion, nor is he treated with contumacy. was the case ip Frauce and may be now, the office is confined very much to one family, descending from father to son. A ciumsy execution or any unseemly exhibition at the galiows suchas we in this country are too familiar with is a thing impossibie in Aus- tria. The Henker as he is styied in other parts of Germany, combines with his chast- iy duties tlie business of capturing all stray dogs found in the highways and streets un- muzzed. At the time to which I refer— thirty years ago—the individuai ia question was a most polite, well-informed persunage, and by no means ashamed of his calling. He lived, rent free, in a house outside tue city wails of Vienna, aud was glad to ro- ceive visitors.

There are hundreds of professional men who speud money and time to secure nice teeth 80 that THEIR SMILE will be a little more charming, bué in all my years of experience 1 have met but one man whe had a head of hair that was in any Way properly taken care of. Our lawvers, min- isters and professors, supposably well informed men, are as ignorant as babes about how to make their hair a source of constant pride and blensure to them, and about the most important of nuture’s ornaments of the body they can well learn of the Indian; whose hair always retains its vigor and its color till he dies, simply beeause he never Wears a hair-destroying modern hat, but lows — au ventilation for head, hat gives a young man a more effeminate appearance than a thin scattering growth of hair—a condi- tion that is nearly always erroneously attributea to dissipation or sickness, either of which rea- sons does not make him any more popular among the ladies.” “What are the causes?” | “First, too close covering; second, gah ge treatment with water, soap, pomade, etc. It is next to impossible to make people believe that it is anythi but hereditary influenees at the bot- tom of it, but, in fact, it is realiy those two simple nustakes. ou meet a man, and he be- gins to show coming balduess the crown. while another's hair will be slowly fading away from his forehead, the crown remaining well covered. Now, in the first instance, the trouble is a close, unventilated hat, that causes the hair to drop out from excessive heat, and in the othercase it can be traced di- rectly to pomades or oils, which are always put on just over the forehead where it ts most difficult to make hair he. The remedy in the first instance is to have the hat punched full of holes—as many ascan be made without destroying the hat’s shape—and in the second there should be a total discarding of oils, eic., always, and also of water except occasionaily Just to prove it, I'll tell you of the man I referre toa moment ago. Some twenty-five years ago, when I first ou SNAPPED SHEARS in St. Louis, this man came to me one day and said his hair was falling out, he was troubled with daudruff, aud he feared he would be bald in a few years. His hair was dry apd fine, ana when the oil or water applied to it dried out the least araft of air would scatter itail over his head, to bis great mortification. I gave him just the advice 1 have you, and besides told him to brush it hard with a stiff brush at least half an hour a day for the first mouth and to abstain from the appli- cation of all water or oils. He came back tue next day with his bat nicely ventilated, but with a dubious look ou his face When he removed his hat aud his fine unoiled dry hair rose up with it and blew all over his ears. He renewed the ap- lication of the brushes, but every time he called e said there was no use trying, as he didn’t dare attend church or any public meeting because of the frightful attitude of his scalp, and because the boys were beginning to call him ‘Porcupine Bill,’ I told him to Keep on; that the natural oil at the root of each hair would be brought out by the re- postes use of the brush, and thathe would then Have hair that could always be controlled. Ina few weeks he ‘struek oil,’ and his hair, instead of being hot, dry and almost dead, became silky glossy and firm; the dandruff entirely left him and rom that day to this, although he is now getting ola, he has had the finest head of huirin St. Louis, aud to-day it shows no sign of decay or loss of color. Yes, sir, let every man try such simple invigorating influences and cease saturating with water and oil, and his hair will no longer be a source of anuoyance aud mortification.’ PANTALOONS a specialty.

The incoming train of the Louisville and Nash- ville Railroad, consisting of ten coaches of the Louisville, Nashville and St. Louis railroad And a baggage, express, smoker and first-class car of the L. & M., due in St. Louls at — o’cldck yester- day evening, met with a very serious accideht at Belleville which resulted in several fatal and a large number of serious injuries to the passen- gers. The train arrived on time at Belleville, en- tered the depot to discharge and recelvg passen- gers and then backed out again to regain the main line. In the meantime, however, a freight train had passed and the switchman had left the depot switch open and disconnected from the main track, and when the passenger train, which started from the depot ata high rate of speed, reached the break in the line, it left the track and ran for three car-lengths along the ties, when the rear coach turned over and rolled down the cight- idot embankment. The next coach tollowed, both cars landing close together at the foot of the embankment. The cars which overturned were those of the Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis line, which were crowded with passengers, from Virginia. There were, consequently, many women and children in the ears, whose. wild screams, as the cars turned over and went rolling down the embankment, added to the horror of the scene. Assistance was soon at hand, and willing hands began the work of extricating the sufferers from their peculiar position among the wreckage ot the cars. Tue lights had gone gut and only the fitful rays of lanterns and es illuminated the terribie scene. Almost the entire mass of the passengers, men,women and children, had been precipitated, together wita the shat- tered iron and wood-work of the car, toward the eastern ends of both cars, and the work of . extri- cating the sufferers proyed in many cases quite difficult of accomplishment. One litile girl, barely 3 years of age, was found to be so wedged in between two broken seats that she had to be cut out with an ax. An infant child of James H. Mahler, who himself received a very serious Wound in the head, was discovered under a mass of debris, dead, While two of his boys were lifted unconscious from the baby’s side. The ac- cident happened near the Western Nail Miil, sit u- aied ou the city’s Outskirts, but the news soon spread, and within balt an hour hundreds of citi- zens began to arrive and help in the work of res- cuing the victims and removing them to places of salety and comfort The adjvining houses were placed at their disposal, and Dr. Kohl, West and others of Belleville did all they could to alleviate tie sufferings of the injured. These were found to be about thirty in number, the most seriously wounded being the following: James H. Mahler, sev scal . Givens, Yancey, Va., cut in the head; James E. Barton, Wm. Barton. Bar- ton, Kila Barton, all injured: a baby of James E. Barton, reported fatally crushed, all of Diana, Va.; Miss Barton of Leesyille, Va., hurt in the side; C. N. Andersen, Goshen, Va., cut in the head; Mrs. James H. Cross of West Augusta, Va., cut in the head and arm; Dr. T. I, MeNair,; who was in charge of the Virginia Colony. badly sprained back; Miss Anna Caffman, Mount Jaeck- son, Ga., injured internally; John Harknis, hand crushed; James Cox, scalp wound, Many others of the victims were removed to houses at some little distance from the scene of disaster. which prevented the discovery of the full extent of their injuries. The responsfbility for the disaster rests entirely upon the brakeman of the freight train, a mau named Ed. Young,who left the switch open as he gave the passenger train the signal to go on, after having forgouen to close the switch. His carelessness is a matter of surprise to other railroad men who knew him and who give him the character ofa very steady ana sober man. He has disappeared since the accident, which fact is look upon as con- clusive evidence it was his Oversight which caused it. As usual the good people of Belleville, headed by Mayor Weber, were equal to the claim upon their cnarity and all the available vehicies were pressed into service to convey the injured to hotels and boarding houses, where medical at- tendunce was provided. The wreck was cleared after three hours“ work and this morning only the remains of the broken cars can tell the story of the disaster.

In fact there igs no certainty even yet that the clash of broad-swords will not wake the echoes of Lafayette Park some fine morning as a prelim- inary to a bloody sensation. Patriot Lasker and the American hog have been relegated to for sounding words to throw at For three days they have been pawing earth and exchanging epithetical 1 and the health of both 1s becoming visibly impaired by the excitement and loss of sleep, The English- reading public has been in ignorance of this situ- ation up to this morning, when the 12 came out with a broadside of affidavits in Engi type, whose appearance in the midst of an ex- pause of German text, suggested that a section + of one of Mr. Filley’s pamphiets had gotten lost in the excitement iner dent to the election. The affidavits appeared uu- der the savage-looking heading, “Wer Hat Ge- logen?“ aud the phenomenon created quite a sen- Sation in politieal circles. Inquiry as to what it all meant discovered quite an interesting history. It 998 that several days ago Dr. Danzer, in 4 t of great indignation at the political corruption which the Twentieth Ward primary typified, indulged in some reflections which were particularly,galling to Dr. Preetorius. The substance of his remarks was that Dr. Pree torlus had been in the habit of GETTING INTO A FINE FRENZY whenever he contemplatet the snarp practiees by which Mr. Filley’s lieutenanis held su * in the party, but when one of those lieutenants apostasized and utilized the dexterity acquired in hoodlum service for the advancemeni of the Silk Stocking cause, both he and his were very welcome to Dr. Preetorius, who not only did not get mad about but allowed his editorial room to be used for tne fixing up the Twentieth Ward returns. It is said that when Dr. Preetorious be to read the ar- ticle above outlined, he expl tore the paper into fragmeuts and sent for another copy in order that he micht finish the perusal of the scandalous remarks. After violent exercise and a deal of study he prepared an article under the caption of Die Faelschung des — 2 which was iutead- ed to paralyze his assailant, in which he indignantly denied that auy ballot box had been stuffed in his private office, and explained that tne ballots were brought there by Mr. Dailey and others and the city editor allowed the use of an unoccupied room for canvassiug purposes. The article contained the lie direct in the forcible lan- guage also doch Gelogen,” and it was Dr. Daenzer’s turn to tear up the earth and drive his editorial subordinates clear out of the building by his alarming demonstrations. Notice was promptiv sent to Dr. Preetorious he WAS GOING TO CATCH IT sure enough; that the black flag was up, and that he. proposed to prove by three-ply davits the absolute trutu of the charge that Dr. Preetorious' office was used for the vi purposes mentioned, this was the K reason why practices that were crimes in Hoodiums were yirtues in Silk Stocking converts. Accordingly the Anzeiger reporters allowed everything else to take care of itsell yesterday while they went gunning for affi- davits, and hence the broadside this morning ia which Joau H. Pohiman, R. Mollencott and William Ray detail at great length their chase after the fleeting ballot-boxes of the Twen- tieth Ward, telling bow they reed“ the game in the Westliche Post building, and how they ar- rived just in time to see Messrs. Dailey and Ramsey come out of the editorial rooms with the boxes and books, the canvass having been com- pleted. This is the situation to-day, and the inter- rogatory heading Who has Lied?” suggests that the Westliche Post to-morrow will be sulphurous, A glance over the record made thus far in the strife fills the mind of the reader with such brain- cracking things as “Arrogante Nichtswisse,” “Schmutzig Kerl,“ “Donnerwedder was dummer Keri!” “Bodenloze Dumheit““ “Unferschemmt,” and last, but not least, „»Gehelinmitzkraemerei.“ When a particularly strong point is made the letters are “spaced out“ like a paling fence, and capitals abound in the greatest profusion.

PARIS, April 4.—Gounod’s much remodeled op- era, Sapho.“ was presented for the first time at the Grand Opera last night. The scenery was greeted with rapturous applause, as were also some delicious love songs, woven into the ciassic dreariness of the opera. These songs were in the original score published in 1851, and are among the composer’s sweetest, and worthy to be placed witn the love scenes in Faust.“ The general opinion is that Gounod would have done wisely to use up the old score, at least the music of the so- called classic portions, choruses, for a new oratorio for Birmingham, and taken the exquisite love scenes and songs as the germ for a now op- era. The text, “Saptio,” by Emil Angier, ts very dull and undramatic. Mme. Kraus as Sa was superbly dramatic whenever she had an .op- portunity, especially in the celebrated stanzas of the scene concluding the opera, before throwing herself from the Leucadian rock. Gounod was not called before the urtain at the conclusion, neither were proclaimed the names of the author and the en ame as is usual with new o In an in- tervlew with a French journalist, published this morning, Gounod says: “Every time that an opera of mine has failed 1 have said to myself that isa horse killed under me and 1 jumped on another one.” In “Sapho” he has gone against this principle with lamentable results, THE THEATERS.
