GRANT is a sort of stormy petrel in financial matters. He was implicated in the Black Friday panic. The great crash of 1873 followed close upon the heels of his second inauguration as President, and the present flurry in Wall street was inaugurated by the collapse of the great Grant & WARD bub- ble.. | Tur Iron Mountain Railroad could not do a more sensible thing than pay attention to the request of the people of Carondelet for cheap fares to that part of thecity. The move has been so satisfactory in the case of Kirkwood, thatit is no longer an experi- ment; it is a success, and would be doubly a suecess in Carondelet with its larger popu- lation. We are surprised to see that our esteemed contemporary the Globe-Democrat, instéad al publishing the news of the receivership of the Wabash, is laboriously endeavoring to preve that there is no news. That is a low grade of journalism which contents itself with finding out the news after the event has happened. Our esteemed contemporary recently declared that the whole art of journalism consisted in “knowing where hell was going to break loose next,” and if His Satanic Majesty is not preparing for an eruptive apparition in Wall street all the signs are wonderfully deceptive. — a eed la Tue recent decision of the Court of Ap- peals, that the people of St. Louis possessed the right of self-government in their local affairs and that the charter of the city can- not be emedned by an acttof the Legislature, ‘ig among the most gratifying of many ro- cent judicial decisions which have estab- Aished substantial justice according to the Jaw. But while the citizens of St. Louis are pretty well fortified against ring legisia- tion by the checks and balances of the char- ter, they should bear in mind that if at any time ring control sheuld prevail it wonld be ali the harder to shake it off. They should accordingly show more interesa in local elections than they have done hitherto, and should take greater pains te prevent a repe- tition of recent mistakes. — Tus word “panic” is now appearing in print with such unpleasant frequchey that it is worth while to consider what it means. Btymologically it means a sudden and gen- ral fright, but no authority has ever told us how many people have to get frightened to constitute a panic. 7 — na + 1 * : — 1 * N ‘ 1 3 9 é | P eee Bere 5 N need not hesitate to predict a panic in stocks | to establish a fund for the reel N ing & Puller memorial volume, to be limited artist's lite, and portraits and specimens of Mr. en work will formthe bulk of the memo- Tus New York,Graphic thinks that Gen.

Reporting Surgical Cases. ST. Louis, May 14, 1884. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The Globe-Democrat of yesterday published a card of Dr. A. Bernays, in which he makes asser- tions not exactly in accord with facts. Ido not intend to criticise in these few lines the code of ethics of the medica) profession, or to argue the propriety of inviting newspaper reporters to wit- ness surgical operations, with or without the in- tention of securing their good will. Ionly wish to correct the views of Dr. Bernays with regard to the celebrated surgeons he named in bis card and their connection with the daily press of their country. II is true that when, for instance, Prof. Billratb in Vienna tries a new ingenious opera- tion, never performed or even dreamed the daily papers will fact, and by writing about it let the world iv general know what new progress has been or may be achieved for human- ity by the ingenuity of such great men as Bill- roth, Lapgenbeck or Thompson. Such oceurr en- ces Ought not to be limited to the knowledge of the professional world alone; the papers record such discoveries for the beaefit of the people, not for the benefit of the operator. Iam of the abso- lute conviction that in said cases the grandeur of the achievement itself is the channel through which the daily press gets hold of the faci, be- cause modesty is one of the redeeming features of great men. do not reeoilect that I have ever seen in any European daily paper a precise description of an operation performed by any operaior of name and celebrity published before the kuife of the operator was dry, nor dol recollect having ever read a precis e description of an operation which bad previously been performed by others, especially not until at least a partial success, ermitted the coronation of the great aster, At the same time 1 take to correct the apR cation of the term “pro- ressive surgeon,” to Prof. Langenbeck, late of run. The whole profession Knows that this great man is the first representative of the so calied conservative school of surgery, and men of his tendencies would resort to the Knife only where the knife promises to be a remedy, not an experiment. Yours, Da. F. KOLBENHEYER. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YorK, May 14.—The WorRLD says: “Tf all the wild speculators who have been seeking to make large fortunes at railroad speed by sudden convulsions of the market should go up in a bal- loon, the effect would be eventually beneficial to legitimate business, although it might cause some temporary incenvenience and disarrangements. Business people have not been overtrading re- cently; aud while we are complaining of dull times there is no danger of any commercial or financial panic. A wise policy in the Government would soon revive business and benefit labor. The solia wealih of the country is increasing every year. A few peals of thunder and the bursting of & few rain- clouds only serve to purify the air and give us clearer skies.“ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune Says: This is a distressing rumor that reaches the great sympathetic heart of the nation from Louisville. It is whispered in the country where the grass is nearly as blue as the free-traders’ spirits, that Mr. Watterson’s in- teresting protege, known in select circles as the ‘starry-eyed goddess of reform,’ has taken to drink—taken to it with all the unreserve of a generous nature, Ever since the defeat of the Morrison bill, 80 the pain- ful story goes, she has been at it. Her telephone keeps ringing day and night, and the messenger boy that answers tlie call receives from her ever the order: Feieh me a quart bottle of the sour-mash known as gall aud wormwood.“ When last heard from she was sittiug in ber boudoir in a dress of sack-cloth with ashes—au naturel—overskirt, imbiblug the bale- ful beverage; between drinks remarking to her devoted guardian and boon companion, ‘Henry, set em üp again.“ The moral to be drawn from her sad fate would seem to be that it is the purt of prudence for a sta:ty-eyed angel of reform to keep out uf the Democratic party.“ THE SUN. The Sun says: “If Brother Blaine is nominated at Chicago three weéks from to-day, we wonder how many independent Republicans will be de- terred from voting for him by the meek and gen- tle protest of the Independent Republican Con- ference Committee. The undersigned,’ say the spokesmen of the alleged independents of New ork, ‘emphatically dGisciaim any pur- pose of dictating the nomination to be made by the Convention, or 0 in- fluencing its action by threats.“ Tuis ts indeed farbearauce. It seems to be pru- dence, too, We miss altogether the defiant notes that rang forth from the anti-Biaine camp of eight yearsago. Is the powder all burned up?!“ THE TIMES. The Times says: “Avery considerable num- ber of highly respectable citizens of New York have united to call a public meeting to promote the nomination of President Arthur. It is a per- fectly legitimate movement, and in the list of ad- voeates inciuded among the signers of the call it should not dim- eult to find some who can very favorable statement of the work of bu u ara Brecher will be found quite oquent and entertaining speech, whieh will be the more iuteresting because in the main it must be apologetic, ana where itis not must set forth the ciaimsof Mr. Arthur as an advanced revenue reformer.” "Mayes and Wheeler.

Millions of Dollars Worth of Property in Danger of Destruction, By Telegraph to the Post-vVis patch. GRAND HAVEN, MICH., May 14—The greatest excitement prevailed here last night over a strike of mill bands, and fears of bilood- shed were expressed.

The Mid-Week Dojpgs of Wash- ington Society. A Charitable Fair is in Progress at the National Rifles’ Armory~The_ Presi- dent as a Banjo-Player — Ex - Post- master-General Key at the Capitol, Dy Telegraph tothe Post-Dispateh. - WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14—Society, having given its sole aitention to its own enjoyment dur- ing the long winter and early spring montus, is now kindly giving some thought and attention to the enjoyments of others. Fairs, entertainments and other events of this nature, for the purpose of raising money for charitable objects, are the principal events in the mid-week doings of soci- ety. To ay a charity fair is in progress at the Nationai Rifles’ Armory, the object being to ob- tain funds to establish free departments in a private Sacaitarium for the use of patients in need of medical and surgical treatment who are unable to pay therefor. The fair began last even- lug with a series of beautiful tableaux arranged by promment society ladies and gentlemen. They were followed by dancing, in which many people of prominence took part. One among the tableau novelties of the evening was a Gypsy camp with fair Gypsies, whose names are often heard in the ultya-fashionable social circles of this city. The spectacle of a Cabinet officer’s daughter, or the youthful wife or sister of a grave Senator, or Supreme Court Justice, rigged out in Gypsy costume, is quite a novel one, which only those privileged to live in Washington and see its society’ pranks may witness. This evening a novelty 1s promised again in the way of a sleigh- bell symphony, which is to be given for the first time here with a full orchestra of ladies and gen- tlemen prominent in social circles. There are also to be some banjo solos by people of prom- inence, though wheiber the President is to brush up his knowledge of banjo and clog dancing is not stated. Tue story is told, too, and has never been denied, so far as your correspondent kuows, that the President years ago, while the port of New York, quite an accomplished BANJO PLAYER AND Mod DANCER. It seems that some New York gentiemen of leis- ure, desiring to amuse themseives, took it into their heads to take lessons from a teacher of these arts and that Collector Arthur became a member of the party. Those who remember the aetalils of this somewhat amusing inciden! say that Mr. Arthur was a very apt pupil and became, during the period, the most apt of all the banjo pupils, and quite an adept in the use of the clogs—so much so that his friends jokingly asked him when he expected to start on the road. Whether the President has forgotten his baujo experience, or whether he does not throw aside his dignity oc- casionally and indulge inathrum ef the banjo und a few stage steps in the secrecy of his aress- ing-room, no one could answer except perhaps Aleck, the black waiter.who is too well-trained to emit these mysteries of the Inver chamber, should there be any such mysteries. So that society and the world at large must be content with Cabinet officers’ families in Gypsy costume and subordin- ate officiais in the role of banjo players and dancers. Even these, which are promised for tals evening, will be of great interest to many people. The fair, which is really the event of the week in a social way, is under the patronage of Mrs. Waite, wife of the Chief Justice, Mrs. Carlisie Mrs. Secretary Teller, Mrs. Senatof Cameron and others of prominence, Aside from this event, dedicated to charity, there has been little doing this week. The weather has been good, and people have preferred driving and boating and lawn-tennis playing and out-dvor life generally to pasteboard and social requirements and fashionble dresses, and few of THE FAMILIES OF CONGRESSMEN are preparing to leave for their homes and sum- mer residences, but the majority, looking for an adjournment by the first of July, will remain un- less it should become very uncomfortable, and even then they will perhaps flee only to some vem porary resort, until their husbands’ work is ended, and they can reiurn to their homes. Mrs. Hiseoek, the wife of the brilliant member from New York, has gone to her home in Syracuse, her early departure being for the purpose of 84 her mother’s childfen there. Mrs. Cannon an daughter, of Illinois, have returned to their home at Dunviile in that State. Mrs, Strait, wife of the member by that name from Minnesota, leit for home some time since. Justice Matthews and family have gone to Ohio, where they will spend the summer, the Justice giving most of the sum- mer to work on his circuit. Mrs. David Davis, who has been spending some time here with Col. Wharton Green and wife, has returned to her home in Illinois. Mrs. Representative Pound has zone to her home for ine summer, as bas also rs. Senator Williams of Kentucky. The very large proportion, however, of members’ families remain here. : GENERAL NOTES.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. ~ DENVER, Col, May 14.—Abouttwo weeks ago a large partv ot Navajos wandered off their reservation and went on the warpath, most of them being armed, They immediately set about committing depredations, and ereated wide spread terror among the white settlers in the towns of the San Juan country. Eight of the warriors wenttoa place called Mitchell’s Ranch, about 150 wiles to the southwest of St. Louis, where they stole some stock. They went away, but soon returned and declared their intention of carrying of all the provisions they wanted. There were present at the ranch at the time old man Mitenell. his three sons and six others. These were all Whites and they drove the Iudtaus off about 100 yards from the store. The Indians opened fire, which was returned, The baltle lasted for some time, when the ludians retreated. Two of their number were Killed and several wounded. Two of the whites were slightly wounded, The latest news received from the heighborhood of Mitecl- ell’s Rauche is to ihe effect that all the whites and fifteen soldiers have been murdered. A man named Pete Jensen, astage driver, bas arrived at Durango. He saya, alter the battle with the warriors two weeks ago, a courier was dispatched to Fort Lewis. On arriving at the Fort, ine com- mander detailed fifteen suidiers to go to the res- cue of the whites. The soldiers arrived there in due time. Soon alterward, about 400 Indians surrounded the store and the remainder retired tothe adjoining bill. The ebief approached the store and made a demand for the body of old man Mitenell. He said his warriors wanted “Billy Dechez,” the name by which Mitchell is Known to the [udians. THE CHIEF SAID that Mitche!ll had killed one of the warriors in the fight, and that his tribe wanted revenge. A lengthy parley was indulged. The Chief returned to his warriors, and this is all that is known. No definite news bas sluce been received from the ranch, and Jausen says that the savages have wreaked their vengeance on the whites. He states that the Indians have been threatening to exterminate the whites from the country for some time,and have been making preparations —;; to that end. Jansen thinks there were about forty persons at the ranche at the time the store was surrounded. Most ofthese were well armed, but they would not be able to contend against the overwhelming numberof Iudiaus. The scene of the trouble is on tre er San Juan River in Southern Utah. Owing to the distance of the place from any town it is dificult to get olher than very meager details, “MME. PIPER.” The New York Vaudeville Produced at Wallack’s Last Night. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Yor«, May 14—There was a burst of larks at Wullack’s last night. Vaudeville took posséssion of the stage and Mme. Piper, -with seventeen other pretty pipers in short dresses, overrun everything. People who remember the joily trifle called “Cinderelia at School” will un- derstand what kind of an entertainment “Mme. Piper” is, when it is said that it is as youthful, as quaint, as tuneful and as merry as that ehirrupy farce. It is, however, more pretentious, more populous and beset with more music of an “Evangeline” order.
