Brewincuam, August 5.—In connection with the great reform demonstration here yesterday an en- husiastio meeting was beld in the evening at Bing- ley Hall at which there was present 20,000 people. Speeches were made by John Bright and Joseph Chamberlain, president of the Board of Trade. Mr. Bright said the Tory majority in the House of Lords was actuated by the same bitter hatred of the Lib- erals as in 1832. “Who were the peers?” he asked. “They were the spawn of blunders, the wars and corruption of the dark ages of our history. They had entered the temple of honor’ not through the temple of merit, but through the sepulchres of their ancestors. They were no better than their fathers; some of them were worse, for their privileges had produced ignorance and arrogancy.” The reform of the House of Lords, Mr. Bright declared, was URGENT AND INEVITABLE. In the creation of new peers to pass the franchise bill, they would only get rid of the present diffi- culty. What was wanted was a limitation of the veto power of the Lords. Should the people sub- mit or should they curb the nobles as their fathers had curbed the Kings of? England Mr. Bright then explained the manner in which he would like to see the power of the Lords restricted. He would allow the peers to retain their present powers during the first ses- sion that a bill should be presented them, but he would absolutely preclude them from vetoing the franchise bill or any bil a sec- ond time. Many persons, no doubt. would think him too lenient to the Peers, but he preferred remedies which, while effectual, would cause the least disturbance to ex- isting institutions. WHAT CHAMBERLAIN SAID. Joseph Chamberlain, in a speech here last night, strongly attacked the Houseof Lords. He said the divine right of Kings was dangerous; the divine right of Peers is a ridiculous figment. If the Lords are obstinate the agitation will continue to the bit- terend. He looked forward with eager hope to the result, England had been chosen as the home of seif-governed people who would never be sub- servient to the insolent pretentions of the heredita- ry class. THE SENTIMENTS OF THE SPEAKER were receivéd with enthusiastic appiause. A resolution was adopted denouncing the action of the Lords in rejecting the form of the franchise bill. EGYPTIAN FINANCES.

JOHN DALY, the convicted dynamiter, was to-day interviewed by a representative of the press. He says he is one of four conspirators whose movements are directed from American, The bombs found in his possession at the time of his arrest were handed him in a street in Liverpool by a fellow-conspirator who hastencd away. The bombs were not for use in Birmingham, but in London, where Daly would have handed them to another conspirator. Daly suspects one of the con- spirators has turned informer. The members of the society who have arrived from America have their eyes on this man and will interview him. NORTHBROOK'S APPOINTMENT.

By Telegraph to the Fost-Dispatch. Coorgrstown, N. Y., August 5.—The inquest with reference to the death of E. C. Steers, the promis ing young man who shot himself on the shore of Otsego Lake, was held to-day and produced much excitement in the Miss White, the young lady in company with on this sad occasion, was the first witness. She is a tall blonde and would by most people be considered a beauty. She testified that on the morning of July 30 she left her mother's house, at the head of Otsego Lake, in company with two young friends, Miss Mellon and Miss Schenck. They had, however, previ- ously made an engagement with Steers and a young man of Oooperstown, the son of Judge Sturges, to meet Shadow Brook, a pleastire grot lake, “We turned at this and lingered about there two hours, during which time Steers and myself took a ramble into the woods. Stecrs attempted to caress me, and put his arms around mf waist. While in the woods. He was al ways very impulsive and behaved so rashly on this occasion that I insisted on returni to the boats. This he consented to while loitering about the boats prior to going to Hyde Hall Steers went into the water above his knees several times, and finally I a hae to geit out of the water and get into or I WOULD Go INTO THE WATER with him. I asked Mr. Sturges to take me to Hyde Hall, but Steers still loitered on the shores of the lake and would not come along with us. Miss Mel- jon suggested that I invite Steers to accompany me to Hyde, which 1 did with reluctance, and req Miss Mellon to go with us. The only conversation on our way to Hyde was that I remarked ‘How beautiful the water looks.’ He said ‘Yes,’ After ar- riving at Hyde he ees to the dock, tied the boat, then took my hand and assisted me from the boat. I then told him he had better go back as I preferred 8.8 to Hyde Hall and wait for the ladies to arrive from Shadow Brook and go homé with them. He said: No. I will sit on the duck and await your return if you stay all night.’ He then turned towards me and said: Tese, will you me me or not, at once, for the last time?’ I said to him: ‘Do not be foolish. I cannot mar you now.’ He walked to the end of the dock, and as he was about to step off, said: ‘Suppose I shoot myself a change!’ I turned aside, and he fired. e threw out his arms and fell across the dock. I immediately became excited, and bent over him and called his name, but there was no response. I saw the blood gush fro his wound and attempted to reach the Clark Man- sion. I FELL ON THE GROUND from exhaustion once while on the way, but finally succeeded in reaching it. I then imparted the news to the inmates of the house and became insensible from the shock I had received. I had known Mr. Steers but about one year. and during that time | ad never heard him threaten his life before, and on this occasion he did not seem excited.” The evidence given by Mr. Sturges, Miss Schenck and Miss Melion, corroborates that of Miss White, all testifying as to his being sober. Miss Schenck, however, testified to a conversation which took place previous to leavin Shadow Brook for Hyde,in whieh, she said, “I ask Mr. Steers to go to the boat with Miss White as she was alone. He said: It makes no difference to her as she cares nothing forme now.“ He said to Miss Meilon, ‘Il want to keep the pistol dry.“ Mr. G. Hyde Ciark then testified as to the condl- tion in which he found the body. He said that upon reaching it he found the heart beating but it soon ceased. The evidence closed with the testimony of Dr. L. A. Hills of Cooperstown, who stated that the course of the bullet was from the eye through to the base of the brain. The verdict of the coroner's jury is that Edward Steers came to his death by accident- al shooting. WITH THEIR HEADS TOGETHER. Meeting of the Managers of Railroads Inter- ested in the Trans-Missouri Traffic. Cuicado, August 5.—The managing officials of al be railroad lines interested in the Trans-Missouri business began assembling here this morning and went into secret session at ii o'clock. The Union Pacific representatives will not arrive until this afternoon, and consequently nothing definite can be accomplished pending their arrival. It is not expected under the most favorable conditions, that any result can be achieved within two or three days, owing to the peculiarly complicated nature of the questions to be settled. The first matter to be brought up for settlement is that of the Colorado rates, which had been disturbed ever since the for- mation of the combésMation between the Union Pacific and the Omaha roads, to the exclusion of the Burlington until one week ago, when they were temporarily restored to await the action of the present meeting for the proper maintenance of the present rates, Itis contended by some managers that a pool will necessarily be formed, which will include all the lowa lines touch- ing at Omaha, and the Union Pacific, and all south- western lines. This wise opinion Was expressed by Roswell Miller of the Milwaukee and St. Paul road in conversation with a representative of the associated press this morning. He could see no insurmountable obstacles in the way. Itis claim- ed, however, that 8% long as what is known as the tripartite agreement between the Union Pacific and its Omaha connections remains in force the antagon- ized roads cannot be brought into a pool covering Colorado and other trans-Missouri bus- mess. owing to the fact that under the tripartite agreement the Mastern connections of the Union Pacific hold arbitrary power in the making of through Western rates, The officif@ls in attendance, however, declare that the result to be arrived at. namely, the maintenance of rates upon all competi- tive Western business, Can be satisfactorily arranged without antagonizing any of the present pools, and that the temper of all the roads how is to achieve that result.

Battimons, August 5.— Dr. C. C. O'Donnell, The San Francisco leper man,“ has arrived here and is stopping at the Eutaw House. He says he was born in this city and attended medical levtures at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and finished his medical education in California. He has a brother, E. Louis O'Donnell, and also a sister, résiding here. The doctor says he isa nephew of the late Columbus O'Donnell, a very well known capitalist up to the time of his death. He says he will exhaust every effort to secure permission to ex- hibit his lepers and talks here as he did in other cities of having them concealed. If he should at- tempt to make an exhibition of the lepers he will be arrested. Failing to be permitted toair his lers he will, he says, go to Washington, taking his precious freight (which, he says, be has con- ed in a car ina suburban railway station), and take them to the steps of the Capito’, where, after making a speech, he will leave them. If possible, he says, he will place one of the lepers in Senator Hoar’s chair, and then leave for the Pacifie coast.

IS O'DONNELL LYING? WASHINGTON, August’5.—The health officers of Washington, incited by the inter- view which Dr. O'Donnell, of leper fame, published this morning, in which he says that his lepers are in Washington, having been sent here from New York ina box-car under the guise of hostiers in charge of a sorrel horse, have investigated the doctor's story so far as possibie. An officer of the department id to your cor- respondent to-day that he did not believe Dr. O'Donnell had any lepers. ‘His whole story,’ he said, ‘isan inconsistent one. and that officer has come to the conclusion that probably he isa crank.” “Can you find that he has senta sorrel horse, or his lepers here!“ “No, we can find nothing of the sort. We have given the mattera good deal of attention to-day, trying to learn whether there is any foundation for his statement. and we have about concluded that there isnot. If he comes here this office will very likely cause him to be arrested on a charge of lu- naey and have him sent to the insane asylum. Ido not see HOW ANY SANE MAN could propose such a thing as that. Major Dyer, Chief of Police, having received in- formation that O'Donnell proposed to me to Wasbington to-day with his lepers, telegraphed to Marshal Gray of Baltimore for special information as to the train on which they would come. “I have had policemen stationed at each depot. he said, “with instruct- ions{to prevent the lepers from landing and to arrest O'Donnell. We have the power under the law, I think, to arrest him. At least we can arrest himiand let the court test the matter. I have notified the su- perintendents of the railroad companies that they willbe prosecuted if they land these lepers here. There is no doubt as to the law. All the doctors that I have taiked with agree that leprosy is a con- tagious disease.“ Late this afternoon Mayor Dyer received a response from Marshal Gray of Balti- more, saying that the police authorities there did not believe that O'Donnell had any lepers, and that they had been unable to findany. As to his pro- wed visit to Washington, they have no definite in- ormation, HERO DONALDSON, A St. Louis Girl Rescued from a Watery Grave at Rockaway Beach. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Rockaway Bran. August 5.—A most thrilling es. cape from drowning and a courageous rescue by Mr. W. C. Donaldson occurred here last night shortly after dusk. Miss Georgie Floyd of St. Louis, in company with two lady friends, was seated on the outer end of the iron pier. Asshe turned her head to look oceanward she lost her balance and fell into the surf. near the ladies, without a moments hesitation leaped after her and succeeded in grasping her by the arm as she was sinking for the last time. Ropes were hurridly brought them but the tide had car ried them far beyond their reach. A catamaran was launched and after considerable buffeting with the surf it succeeded in reaching them and bringing them ashore. Both were unconscious. Dr. Chas. 8. Mann restored Mr. Donaldson. It was feared that Miss Floyd was beyond help, but Miss Kane, who accompanied her, said late in the evening that che was out of danger. The greatest excitement prevailed during the rescue as the couple were out of sight, owing to the darkness, and it was feared they were lost. HE WAS 87.400 WINNER.

Praten, PA., August 5.—According to a dispatch from Long Branch, a Philadelphia physician, who is a personal friend of Gen. Grant. and as well known in fashionable society of New York and Washington as he is in that of his own city, had a little poker party in his private parlor at the hotel where he is passing the season. A hight or two ago, it had been raining all day and the party played without interruption from noon until 11 o'clock at night, The physician was then in $3,700. He was made daring by success, and although it was late, he had a carriage called and was driven over to one of the fashionable gambling places, by courtesy called a lub house. He played high and luck was with him untl his 3 at roulette amounted to gait 5,000 more. Then his luck turned and his $5,000 dropped to $3,700. He then quitted still a winner of $7,400. He celebrated his victory by giving a dinner party to seven friends. Frank James Equipped by His Friends— Burglars at Work Missouri Matters. InpDEPenpeNce, Mo., August 5.—Ool.

It is not at all im- probable that if there were any good way of letting % of Mr. O'Day, the railroad company which he represents will be very ready to do it about the time the State Convention adjourns, if not before. A few reminiscences and suggestions will e this proposition plainer. It will be remembered that when Governor Crirtenden was a candidate for nomination, a large fuud was disbursed in his interest, which came ostensibly from the San Fran- cisco Railroad Company, but which reall re- senSed contributions from several com es. The disbursing agent was Col. Coffin, the land t of the Frisco. and he saw to it that horhing should be wanting that might advance the interests of Mr. Crittenden. After Col. Coffin died, another agent of the ‘Frisco came to the front as a political engineer in the person of Jonn O Day, the attorney of the company. Ordi- narily individuals or corporations who are seekin an attorney to attend closelv to their business will avoid having anything to do witha lawyer who is a professional politician, but when a corporation's political interests are more important than its law interests, this rule does not apply. Hence the apparent inconsistency of Mr. ODays employment. The motives of railroad companies in wit an active part in State politics are several. Chief athong them is the fact that three of the State's chief officers con- stitute a board of equalization in which is vested the power to determine whether the railroad property of this State shall be assessed for taxation purposes at - forty-two millio as it now is, or at two hun should be treated in like manner as private citizens, who have property subject to taxation. It can be readily seen that if by an unfortunate coincidénce two men were elected as Governor and Secretary of State who were in the habit of riding the anti- monopoly hobby, — might be serious dan- r ge t the next report of the State Board of Equalization might place the railroad assessments at one hundred and fifty millions or thereabouts. As this would increase the taxes of the railroads to the extent of fully a million dollars per annum, or four millions 1 arses erean term, it can be readily understood that rail companies feeladeep interestin knowing that nounf diy candidates be put up for either of the offices in quest- ion. When, then, they could have a representative in the chairman of the State Central Committee, it was reasonable for them to suppose that they were safe in relying upon him to so affairs as to insure the nomination of a man who would be friendly to the interests that he represented. Mr. O*Day was not loth to accept the responsibility, and the public knows well how earnestly ne has endeav- ored to provide Missouri with a overnor of his own selection, and how. dismally he has failed. He has shifted his ground several times, always, however, being so unfortunate as to assume à position not merely favorable to some other candidate than Marmaduke, but one of actual opposition to him, He has struggled hard, and doubtless has given numerous assurances that all would yet be weil, but to-day the corporations he represents are brought face to facewith thesomewhat thrilling prospect that a man is about to be nomi- nated for Governor who not only owes no favors to their agent, John O'Day. but who has every reason for animosity toward Mr. O'Day and his clients on account of the enmity they have shown h In fact, the corporations are in far toward the coming governor than they would be if they had not an agent to look after their affairs. It matters not whether Gen. Marmaduke will be disposed to resent Mr. O’Day's actions by anything he may do in an official way. Whether he does or not, the fact stands that Mr. O'Day will have great difficulty in proving the effi ciency of his stewardship, and while he represents the Frisco road will be a constant reminder to the powers that are to be after next January of the fight he made against them in 1884. M'SORLEY wirs. When two old residents become engaged in a con- troversy as to some question of local history, the issue immediately assumes greater dimensions in their eyes than one involving National interests. Yesterday Barney McSorley an Bernard Poepping, each of whom asserts himself the champion histor- ian of the past half-century in St. Louis. ot entangled in a dispute which soon en- isted the attention of all of their friends, an made. it necessary to appeal to the Post-Dispaycr for a decision of the matter. Mr. McSorley as. serted thatat the Con ional election in 185%, Richard Barrett received the certificate of election as against Frank P. Blair; that Blair contested Bar- rett’s seat, and was successful in that contest; that instead of retaining the seat thus won, Blair re- signed, in order that the people might have another opportunity to settle the matter for themselves: that Barrett was elected to complete the term, and that Blair was elected for the next term thereafter. Mr Poepping admitted that Biair contested and won the seat, but denied that he resigned or that another election was heid to complete the term. Neither of these gentlemen slept a wink last night, and the set- tlement of the question will be ratified doubtless with pyrotechnics, ete., by the winning historian. Ben Perley Poor's Political Register and Congress- ional Directory, which is an acknowled author- ity, decides the quéstion in favor of Mr. McSoriey as follows: “Blair was_re-elected to the Thirty sixth Congress, defeatin.

WasHtnoton, August 4.—The annual report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, the details of which are slowly taking shape, will give some | interesting details regarding the Internal Revenue system and its working. It as a curious and interesting fact that the people of the country look upon the Internal Revenue Bureau is one of its best Co-laborers. They regard it as a national bell- punch which registers every drink taken by the American people. A prominent temperance man here said to your correspondent recently that he thought Providence had brought into existence this system as an aid to the the temperance work and to the cause which the advocates of the system believe to be a leading feature in national politics within a very few years. Of course it is not claimed by the temperance people that the Internal Revenue Bu- reau is run with their cause in view, or with the idea of furnishing them with ammunition, but that it does this is unquestioned. The amount of spir- its withdrawn for consnmption during the year will amount to over 80,000,00, gallons, or an average of a gallon and a half of whisky for each individual in the country during the year. The beer and other fermented liquors ——_ to — va 1 sammy + say ten galions or every , Wo child in the — a the population is now esti- mated at over 55,000,000, The work which the Internal Revenue system has accomplished since its creation in 1862 is wonder- ful. It has practically paid the interest on the public debt, and also made the reduction in the debt itself. The 7 from this source since 1862 have been fully 83. 20. 008, 972, being a larger sum than the public debt ever was at any time. THE HIGHEST SUM EVER REACHED was 1866, when the public debt was $2.77, 236,173. It has now been reduced to $1,450,000,000 have now been paid. The interest upon the publid debt has been since the creation of the Internal Revenue sys- tem in 1862, about $2,000,000,000. The system has thus far just about paid the public debt interest and principal up to the present time. The receipts in the —— ear were about $75,000,000 in excess of the in- rest upon the public debt. The recei were $121,000,000, or a little over $2 each for each person in the United 8 while the interest charged is now about $47,000,000 per year, or 85 cents — capi- ta. The debt itseif isa little over ~ r head for each person in the United States. The Internal Rev- enue system if allowed to run would pay all interest charges upon the debt and extinguish the debt it- self within the next fifteen 8 perhaps sooner, or 80 Son as it is possible to pay the debt under the terms in which the bonds were issued. New York has paid more than any other State, her total being $578,418,444; Illinois comes next, $379,715,091; Ohio crowds Illinois pretty closely, her total being $347,190,008, New York gained ber proud at the head of the list by the amounts paid in the early history of the Internal Revenue system, when in- comes and nearly every business were taxed. Now she does not pay so much as Illinois or Kentucky, and about the same amount as Ohio. She paid in the t year $13,700,381, while Ohio paid 020 264 : tucky $18,583,172, and Illinois 520,484, THE LARGEST SUM PAID in any one year was isthe very year in which the public debt attained its highest eo 1866; the sum paid in that§ year, being $810,906,964 17, or consid- erably more than double the interest . Sin the beginn of the system the receipts have never fallen below $100.000,000 per year, the lowest point attained being in 1874, the tomy = for that year be- ing $102,000,000. The receipts for the present fiscal year, which will end with June 30, 1886, will, it is es- timated, reach about $130,000,000.

The English wheat crop is estimated at 80,000,000 bushels. Wheat harvesting in the south and center of France is reported to be complete. The Austro- Hungarian wheat crop is pees to be up to the average. Carefully compiled reports regarding the wheat crop in Germany indicate more than an aver- age crop. The stock of lard at the five princi continental ports on August 1 is given as 9 tierces at Hamburg, 2,000 at Bremen, 1,000 at Stet- tin, 15,000 at Antw and 4,500 at Havre, or a total of 31.500 tierces, against 25,500 same time in 1883 and 31,500 in 1882.——-The bulls started a sensational re- port that the cold weather retarded the growth of corn, and even intimated damage by frosts. Their sensation was short-lived, for the temperature is |} t steadily rising here and in the Northwest, and it will be warm enough in a few days to force grow- | t ing rapidly.—— The following te r regardi ring wheat were received M. ns: Yerxa & Kirkbride, : “Weather fine.

Common grades formed the bulk of the ar- rivals, and these were 1 as high. Local deal- ers purchased most of the offerings at a range of $2 85 4. But as an indication of the great ad- vance made in Texans, a sale of 60 head, averaging ’ pounds, by Messrs. Hall, Brown & Hunt, to a at $5 per 100 lbs is the most noticable. This is the highest price paid for weeks, and for range cattle is unprecedented.

Yes, we see them as Hamlet thought he saw his father, in my mind's eye, Horatio.” AN exchange talks loosely about a Prohibition bar I. There is no such thing.

No, they that “it would cost too much.” It might cost , somebody a couple of years in the Penitentiary. — —— — Tarnx is a canard from Mexico to the effect that one of the postmasters is a defaulter to the . amount of $10,000.

He probably wanted to get a job from the Blaine campaign managers to take charge of the Cleveland scandal. — — — Tue Rev. Mr. Perper, who advertises him- 7 self as a converted Irishman, is authority for the statement that once when two policemen came to arrest him in Ireland, he showed them BLAINE’s name on his passport, whereupon the minions of despotism sneaked away in manifest terror and confusion. The manner in which Mr. Pepper tells this anecdote suggests that in the intervals of campaign life he writes snake stories for the Philadelphia papers. — — Tae Democratic Central Committee has not lost much in losing its senses, still at a critical time a small loss may be serious. First, the committee orders primary elections to be held by districts; then it orders them to be held by wards; now it wants to change again to the district system. The fun of it is that inasmuch as it is almost as easy to stuff district ballot boxes as iti is to stuff ward ballot boxes, no one can understand why the committee should be so badly rattled over a simple question of detail. — — —V— n EE | It appears that the Rev. Gro. H. Batt of Buffalo is rather a swift witness. He supported CLEVELAND and vouched for his moral char acter in his races for Mayor and for Governor, and never made any noise about the HAL case till something happened which he felt aa a personal grievance. The editor of the Buffalo Courier states that Mr. BaLt’s assault on CLEVELAND is false and is discredited by the people of that city who will give the Democrat- ic nominee a majority of 5,000 of 8,000, — — ——ü—ä4 — — —— Distaict Atrorxry Oi of New York City was a reputable citizen until he undertook to prosecute the notorious Mother“ Manpzt- BaUM.

They are stupid enough to bo- lieve that it is not Mother ManneLeavum, but Mr. Orr who is on trial, and they are trying to convict the District Attorney. If there were any doubt of the guilt of the detectives their conduct would suffice to dispel it. —_e—_—_—_—_—_ Tum revelation in yesterday's Post-Dis- PATCH that two of the leading soda-water man- to sound sanitary conditions. If any impor tance is to be attached to the opinion of ‘om A They “THAT MIGHTY NAME.” Rev. Gzo. W. Perrer, showing a passport signed by James G. BLAIxx to the minions of the Queen, and the minions ef the Queen slink- ing awayin aweof that mighty name that stood as a guarantee of protection to a foreigner ih a foreign land,” is a picture that thrills the St. Joseph Herald. A medal should be struck to commemorate the incident. To make it more picturesque the designer should substitue the British lion for the commonplace minions of the Queen, and represent that bloody beast driven off like a coyote with his tail between his legs by one glimpse of the BLAINE signat- ture, just as he was preparing to dine upon Mr. PEPPER. | But in order to show some little regard for the truth of history, the reverse of the medal should be inscribed with some of the remarks which Congressman RosiInson of Brooklyn, and Mr. Patrick Forp of the Irish World have been wont to apply to Mr. BLAINE’s course towards Irish-Americans im- prisoned without being accused of crime in British bastiles. They held that BLAlxx's conduct was “explainable only by ignorance of the law, or treason to duty.” In an open let- ter to Mn. BLAlxx in the Jrish World, Mn. Patrick Fon told him he had no con- ception of what is due to the honor of the United States, and should never again be placed in a position where he can disgrace our Government.” Said Mr. Forp: Whatever humiliation the country is subjected to is due, not to such noble hearts, but to the adminis- tration of which you are chief minister and adviser, and which, ignoring the traditions of better days, meanly and traitorously abandons citizens to whom | it is bound by every principle of honor and law to extend protection. This is the way the Irish World spoke of and to Mr. BLA while he was Secretary of State and ever since until very recently. It had not then heard of the Pepper case. When Mr. Forp heard how Mr. Preprer had scared the minions of the Queen” with BLAlxx's signature, he re- versed all his views of BLAlxx's foreign policy, and brought the Jrish World out whooping for that mighty name. So moving an incident should be commemorated on a medal as big asa cart-wheel,\ to be hung around the neck of the Bartholdi statue. — A POINTER. Evxins’ hope of carrying West Virginia for BLAINðx is confessedly based upon corporation influence, money, the capture of the Greenback vote and an alleged defection in the Democratic ranks. The Republicans have nominated a fu- sion ticket, giving the positions of Auditor, Treasurer and School Superintendent to the Greenbackers, for which the latter are to help elect a Republican Governor, Attorney-Gen- eral, Supreme Court, and Blaine electors. The trouble in the Democratic ranks grows out of a revolt against men like Mr. ELKrys’ father-in-law, who were supposed to be trying to run the West Virginia Democracy in the in- terest of certain corporations, including the Standard Oil monopoly. Hon. E. W. WiLson, the Democratic nominee for Governor, began life as a mechanic, but afterwards studied and practiced law and made a marked record as an anti-monopolist in the Legislature, and while serving as Speaker. We are told that he will be opposed by the rail- roads and other corporate interests, and that the wealthy Democratic partnersof BLAINE and ELKINS are determined to rule the State through the Republican party if they can not bend the Democratic organization to their pur- poses. The contest in West Virginia is, therefore, only another one of the many incidents explain- ing why GouLD, HUNTINGTON and men of that class are solid for Buatne. The situation in West Virginia is but an epitome of the struggle in the Union at large. In its last analysis, it is a struggle to determine whether the masses shall or can wrest the control of State and Na- tional governments from the great corporation rings that have ruled so long and at such heavy cost to the labor of the country and the morals of our politics. — - Gov. Sr. Jonn, the Prohibition candidate for President, in a speech at Port Jervis the other day, told a little story about his experi- ence with Jonn A. LoGan’s black laws in IIIi- nois, to which State he emigrated in 1860. He said: There was a law once in force in Illinois to the ef- fect that any white person caught in the act of giv- ing aid or sustenance to any colored man, woman or child, should be arrested, and, upon proof of the charge, should be thrown into prison fortwo years. I was practicing law at that time in an Ilinois town, when a little colored lad came to my house and said; Please. mister, wog t you give me something to eat? I haven't had anything to eat in two days. I called my wife and told her to get the boy a big slice of bread, butter it all over, and get some meat. “Would it not be better.“ she said, to have the boy come into the house, as everybody seems to be watching us“ I said, “No. I want this people to see that I am not afraid to give and sustain any of God's poor unfortunates. The Grand Jury was in session at the time, and an indictment was soon found against me for giving sustenance to a negro. I was accordingly arrested and brought before the court. and pleaded guilty to the charge, and stated in open court that I would do so again, and whenever I found the laws of man interfering with the laws of God, I would violate the human law every time. The testimony given had the desired effect and the court announced to tae packed Court House that he found the prisoner at the bar not guilty of the charge.” and I was set free. The man who was the prime mover and factor in the passage of this bill vas none other than John A. Logan, the nomines for Vice-President of the Republican party. 4 Ex-Governor PLAIstep of Maine was run ning as the Republican nominee for Congress at the time the Madigan cireular was issued under the auspices of Jaues G. BLaive, Chair- man of the Republican State Committee. Gov- ernor PLAIsTEp in his newspaper charges that BLAIN® was the author of that circular.

Se | Fashionable Frivolity in Boston. From the Boston Globe. A certaif young lady left the house where she boards in this city for a day's visit in the country, and as it was on Monday she left directions with the lady of the house to give the wusberwoman her week's washing when she called. The washing was done up in a newspaper, and that was the only bundle of the kind in the room, so there cOuld be no mistake. On her return in the latter part of the afternoon she discovered that her washing had not been taken. Furthermore, there appeared to be trouble in the house, and the sulphurous odor of profanity pervaded the atmosphere. A young man who occupied & room on the floor below her was raving up and down, vainly seeking for a costume which he had hired for a masquerade party on that night. She heard him declare that he had left it in his room rolled up in a newspaper; that it was gone, and he was just $25 and à good time out by the loss of it. The young lady immediately tumbied to the true state of things: Her washerwoman had got into the wrong room and taken the suit instead of the bundle of soiled clothes. She volunteered this explanation to the young man, and he agreed to es- cort her to the house of the offending washerwoman and recover the property. The house was found after eonsiderable search, but no one appeared to be at home. They pounded the door’ of the little hut—it was some distance out of the city—-but got ho response. At length they walked around to the back door, and therein the yard they saw to their horror the costume suspended from a clothes line, having been washed and hung out to dry. It had lost its original brightness, and not only this, but its original size. It had been intended for a man six feet high, and had shrunk in the wash till it wouldn't go on a small boy. The colors had run to- gether, and plumes and spangles were in the last stages of dilapidation from contact with the scrub- bing-board. Anexclamation that was almost an oath burst from the young man's lips, but just at that moment the washerwoman appeared in the door. “Oh, what did you do it for? Didn't you know better? What did you think I could do with those things?” exclaimed the young lady. Now, you don't say?" was the reply. Ain't they yourn? I thought they was the queerest-looking under- clothes I ever did see, but you can’t tell nothing about fashion nowadays, and—" hysterics and tab- leau. 8 The Tammany Leaders. Saratoga Cor. Philadelphia Times. The impression that I have gathered from 4 close association with these men is that they considered that the Democratic party is riding a very high horse. The issue of administrative reform does not interest them, neither does the presence of the leading Democrats of the country overawe them. Practical politics is their trade and they will not be coaxed or driven into an enthusiastic support of the Democratic ticket until some sort of deal is made with them that guarantees a Control of the local politics of New York city. John Kelly really intends that he and his fol- lowers shall support the ticket, that is, if you may judge from his conversation. He speaks warmly of carrying New. York and Indiana and even hopes that the Democratic party may win in Wisconsin, and yet he is impervious to the persuasion of Mr. Hendricks. Notwithstanding this fact, it is easy to set at rest all controversy in relation to Mr. Kelly's position and that of his followers, so faras he can represent them. A good, and perhaps more than fair; control of the local offices in New York city will be demanded. If this is granted, with the future understanding that the purely political element of the party is to have a fair show in the distribution of patronage, there will be no rebellion, and the re- sult will be a practically united party in this State. It is no secret to those who have been close to Mr. Kelly and men representing the same phase of politics as he does that their only objection te Ger- ernor Cleveland has been his non-partisan altitude. His veto of the five-cent fare bill and other kindred measures were only paraded in hope of defeating his nomination and they are now only discussed for the purpose of securing a position in the party for those people who have made and still hope and in- tend to make their living out of politics. There is no trouble, if you may believe what this class of citizens say, about a proper arrangement being made by which Mr. Kelley, Jimmy O'Brien and men of that class will locally support the Dem- ucratic ticket. A Disgrace and Shame. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. On the 2ist of July an obscure sheet in the city of Buffalo, which has been running only some 1,100 numbers and is sold at one cent., a paper whom most of the good people of that city never heard of, published an outrageous and lying scand@l about the private life of Gov. Cleveland, one of the can- didates then already nominated for the Presidency, charging him with seduction, open profligacy and debauchery. That charge bas already failen to the ground as exaggerated, false and malignant, but the Republican press and partisans, all the time professing their horror of the uncleanness, are con- stantly using, supporting and circulating these foul slanders in their grossest form. Our weekly ex- changes come to us loaded with the filthy story; the newsboys on the streets, even to the remote country villages, are still hawking the Buffalo Tel- egraph, never before heard of in this region. Special correspondents have been posted to Buffalo to ma g- nify the scandal, with precious small results as yet. The Republican newspapers are full of chuckling references and spicy allusions to stimulate curiosity and spread the sale, all the time professing sweet horror that any such thing should be admitted to their virtuous sheeta. Such a degradation of a campaign has never been witnessed since the days when Mrs. Jackson was driven to her grave, between the time of ber hus- band’s nomination and that of his inauguration. The Republican. organs cannot disclaim the responsi- bility of this scandal in behalf of their party, for it is of the style of warfare to be expected from 4 campaign managed by Elkins and inspired by Mr. Blaine. Unable to finda fiaw in Mr. Cleveland's official career, or a blemish on his integrity and | high character as Mayor of bis city and Governor of | his State, his opponents are driven to this con- temptible and mean recourse to blacken his charac- ter. It will take something more than a mere vote by the National Republican Committee to convince people that the Republican campaign man- agers are not an active party in the spread and prop- agation of these lies. Pennsylvania's Frank James. From the Philadeiphia Times. Mr. Abe Buzzard appears to be enjoying himself on these beautiful summer days. Mr. Buzzard is sometimes called the Welsh Mountain Bandit, and there is a pretty general notion that all the officers of the law in Lancaster are day and night in search of him. Yesterday the story was told that Mr. Buzzard had been having a good time ata picnic in Lancaster County. He wore two pistols in his belt. carried a repeating rifle, and under the circum: stances was cheerfully accorded the freedom of the grounds. None of the officers who are so anxious to arrest Mr. Buzzard appeared to have been in attendance at the plonic. In fact, these officers have so far had extreme good Juck in keeping out of the way of the party they have so much been in search of. It is pleasing to note that Mr. Buzzard says he is doing well, is in good health and expects to eave for Mexico in & few days. As soon as he leaves the search for him in Lancaster County wil! doubtless be renewed. But Mexico is the place for him. There da uo more excitement or interest in Lancaster County for a man like Mr. Bussard It probably is not equaled in the United States. She never puts on the same dress twice in a season at one resort, though she will go through with the wardrobe again at Saratoga. Luan RU. is coming back to New York to sing in asubdued tone. Her career in Europe has been a dismal failure. She will not bring her Bolo- mon with her. Tuar heartless coquette, Susan . Anthony, is blithely urging the election of Jim Blaine, with cruel disregard of the tender and wounded heart borne in the bosom of Benjamin Franklin Butler. A Canon paper says: “Mrs. Langtry, the actress, will soon become Mrs. Gebhardt, the lady.“ It ia not believed that Mrs.Gebhardt will be any more a lady than Mrs. Langtry. Lorra was recently presented by Wilson Barret in London with a pyramid of red, white and biue flowers, surrounded with stars of sterling siiver, representing the United States. Miss Kats Taynatr Woops, who has written sev- eral pleasing serials and sketches for St. Nicholas and other magazines, fell from a hammock in Boston a few days ago and hurt her spine in a serious way. Mise Linn Can. of Hill, Mass, has been made an honorary A. M. by Bates College,the only degree of the kind conferred on a woman by a New England college not devoted to the education of women only. Two young girls have gone into business as dolls’ dressmakers at Holyoke. A sign is hung out which reads, “Dolis’ dresses made and sold here,” and a good mahy little girls are seen emerging from the door with dolls in their arms. Tun Rev. Anna Oliver, who is visiting the Cate- kills, is not likely to go out of the ministry because of the action of the Methodist conference in declar- ing the licenses of women void. She has had calls from Baptist and other churches. “Madame Sand,” says M. Lafon in his literary reminiscences, has left of herself a portrait “as flattered as that of Boulanger, but I must say, hav- ing seen her twenty times with the twenty-year-old eyes thatare not apt to undervalue a woman's beauty, that she was far from being attractive. A heavy chin, a thick, sheeplike nose, a large mouth, bold eyes and hair that was thick without being long, were the points that struck you in her appear- ance. Her carriage revealed her sex beneath her masculine garb.“ | following note in reference to the model clergyman who has been furnishing low-caste Republican news- pavers with slanders about Governor Clereland: Burrato, N. V., July 2. Duan Sre--Yours of the 24th instant feceived, and we thank you for your manifested interest in Gov- ernor Cleveland's behalf. With reference to the ro- ports about Governor Cleveland you can say, and you will tell the positive truth every time you say it, 22 Bali's signature and the reports a Cleveland's immorality are ab- solutely false. The Rev.“ Ball was an ardent supporter of Cleveland during the Gubernatorial campaign, and was paid for his work. We under- stand, however, that he was disappointed about some position, hence the “flop” and dirty work un- becoming any man, whether he wears the cloth or not. Rev.“ Ball's article has no weight in this place, where be is known. The story as published is false, absolutely so, and will be met in due time. Cleveland will carry Buffalo by 5,000 or 8000 ma- jority and New York State by at least 25,000, and in all probabilty considerable more.

From the Pall Mali Gazette. A petition addressed to the ladies of Paria, implor- ing them to remain really pretty,“ recently ap- peared ina Parisian paper. The writer tells the Parisiennes that they are the Beethovens and - the Mozarts who compose the symphonies of the cele- brated Paris toilettes, and that their followers are dispersed all over the civilized world. But, he dries in horror, what structure is that which of late makes them appear of a size which would have gladdened the heart of any Roman matron, but at the sight of which an Amazon would hide her face? —that bag hanging down from collar to waistband, which seems to have been imitated from the opos- sum, and in which it would be easy to carry a few “petits”? Then there is that movable coachman's seat,” ordinarily called crinolette, It is growing and growing, and this year it has assumed dimen- sions such as to lead the writer of the “humble pe- tition” to think that no one at Madrid, at Rome, at Vienna or St. Petersburg will believe that such a fashion originated at Paris, and did not arrive direct from Berlin. These appeals to Frenchwomen might be read with profit by their English imitators, some of whose crinolettes are attaining dimensfons that are simply monstrous. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS.

Fulmer Released from Cincinnati-The Modocs’ New Boat House—Games Yester- day-- Sporting Notes and Sundries. A dispatch to the Enquirer from Washington de- tails the following interesting not to say amusing state of affairs: Of course the players can not sign with any other clubs until the ten days from the date of the disbandment of the club are exhausted, but a number of managers are on the field waiting their golden opportunity. Rumors flew thick and fast yesterday and to-day that the managers of the Washington club were selling out their players to outside clubs. Several newspapers announced that Fennelly, the greatest short-stop ever seen in this city, had been purchased by the Cincinnati (American) Club. During the Metropolitan- Washington game Friday Charley Snyder, captain and manager, and 0 V. Caylor, Secretary of the Cincinnati club, sat in the grand stand at the Athletic Park. They closely watched the playing of Fennelly, AG at the con- clusion of the —— were very enth brillian ibition made by him. Snyder was Fennelly is a darling. Eleven assists, one put-out, no errors, three base hits, with & total of five, is worth big money in Cincinnati. After the game a representative Enquirer had a talk with Fennelly and informed him of the current . Fennelly would not deny that he expected go to Cincinnati. He simply said he knew nothing about it, and declared that no one had approached him on recently. He admitted, however, received a proposai about a week ago to play in a bine outside of Washington. He would not say who made the proposition. He further remarked that he had heard various statements about how much was to be paid for his release from the Washington Club and how much he was to receive from the Cincinnati. He added that he intended to why the — say On I. 1 3 question. Late day night Fennelly tin an appearance at Bcanion's base-ball . Was soon joined by Snyder. After a short fosslp about to- day's game, Snyder proposed that Fenurky should take a walk with him. A few distant a car- riage to carry then to Caylor, who awaited them at a - ee ver office. When last ween the trio were — drawn in the direction of one of the uptown hotels. The same gy While Bob Barr was seated in Abner's Varden, a te am from Manager Barnie, of the Baltimore Ciub, was handed to him. The contents proved to be an offer of $350 per month for the bal ance of the season if he would join the Baltimore Club, Barr, who appears to be in great demand, al- 80 received Nattering offers from the St. Louis and Richmond Clubs. Owing to the fact that he fs still under contract with the Washington Club and the lateness of the season, he has not yet decided what action he may take, About the same time Humphreys and Olin were in consultation with the directors of the National Club at Scanlon s. The Nationals need a catcher to re- lieve Guneon, who has been compelled to catch in every game played since the Fourth of July. Hum- hreys would greatiy strengthen their club should % decide to om them. On would probably be governed by the action of his chum Hosiphters. — —— Fulmer Reléased. Charlie Fulmer was yesterday released from the Cincinnati Club, a concession he has been begging and praying for for many months. Fulmer has al- ways inspired Will White, the manager, with most unreasonabie dislike, and when the latter was ap- pointed to the charge of the men, Fulmer's status was about settled, and it was certain that Peoples would take the position which Charlie 60 capably filled for two PERSONS. Mr. Von der Ahe has made an offer to Fulmer, who will, of course, be in great de- mand. His decision will be made known when his dem days are up; in other words August 14. lu re- gard to Barr, the St. Louis Club has madean offer to him, as has been announced in telegrams from Washington; the club bas a full complement of itehers in MoGinniss, O'Neill, Davis and Foutz, and not particuiariy ayxious to secure him, but will engage him if he will accept a reasonable figure. — C—O lr The Unions and the Browns. This series is reaily no nearer arrangement than it was before, although President Von der Ahe is as anxious to have it brought to a satisfactory eonclu- sion as any one. Of course, every one Wishes to see the clubs come together and thus settle the long ar- gued and mooted question of superiority. To play for the financial benetit of either elub would not be tolerated by the American Association, and Mr, Von der Ahe could not run the risk of vitiatin the standing and membership his hib in that body by Ureaking a rule, and a very strict and important one by agreeing ton series. In order to make his cause plausible and to gain the absolute consent of the other clube, he bases his proposition on the planto donate the proceeds to charitable institutions, and this is possibly the only way inwhich he can gain the consent of his con- temporaries, At all events it will require some little time beforea conclusion can be arrived at, and as there will be a meeting of the directors of the American Association very shortly, the matter will be broached and dis- cussed in all of its bearings. Mr. Von der Ahe shows an excellent spirit of emulation in the matter, and his offer is such a g~enerous and liberal one that it is to be hoped that he will receive the consent and in- dorsement of the other clubs in the Aimerican 4880 ciation. Mr. Lucas has also acted splendidiy during all the arrangement. He has accepted all the terms offered without a word of objection, and he gems to be especially pleased with the proposition to donate the receipts to the charitable institutions of the g¢ity. — ́ — — Games Yesterday.

It is one of the mysteries of base ball how easily the New Yorks defeat the Bostons and in turn are beaten by Providence, whom Boston has whipped in a majority of games. Bufilngton, whom every other club stands in dread of, is easily punisbed by New York, while Welch, easily enough hit by others, is a perfect terror“ to the champions. Strange, but true, Mr. Reeder, one of the new umpires, officiated at the Toledo-Louisville game July 4th. He is a big man with a little voice, and he was unmercifully guyed. He will no doubt retire on the laurels al- ready won. The last heard from him was: If the Lord will forgive me this time Ill never umpire another game.“ Base-ball seems to be reviving in Canada, and at no time since the Maple Leafs, of Guelph, and the Tecumsehs, of London, were in such exciting rivairy, has there been so much interest manifest in the game. Western Ontario has a strong league, and Hamilton, which is probably one of the best base-ball towns in the country, has several good clubs, Louisville is base-ball crazy, and the Cincinnat Times-Star says that the following, while slightly exaggerated, contains a deal of truth: “I've just come from Louisville, said a Cincinnati boy this morning, and of all the lunatics that are crazy about base ball the people there beat the worid. They talk baye-bali at breakfast, dinner, supper and all the rest of the time. are so jubilant that thereis no such thing as re- straining them. they don't quite attend to the games, go and watch the returns scored on the pool-boards, and when the Louisvilles make a run they shout and yell like mad. The whole town is base-ball crazy, and when the club is home business is entirely suspended, and the entire yp ypulation turns out en masse to witness the game. Sporting Sundries.

Carr Cabanne, a bright littie boy of eight, was drowned yesterday ata pond on the old Turner place, eight miles west of St. Louis. The boy was in bathing with a number of his companions, and is supposed to have taken cramp. The other boys did not notice his disappearance, and it was only after a long interval that he was missed, and the alarm given. The poor little fellow had been dead several hours before his, body was recovered. The fact that adds to the grief of his parents is that neither his father nor his mother knew that he was out in the country or in danger.

From the Baltimore Sun. During a recent trip with the Orpheus Sailing club of Baltimore to the well-known Cobb's is- land, the following facts were ascertained, and created a very unpleasant impressiony An en- terprising woman from New York con- tracted witha Paris millinery firm to deliver during the summer forty thousand or more skins of birds at forty cents apiece. With sev- eral taxidermists she was carrying out the con- tract, having engaged young and old to kill birds of different kinds, and paying them ten cents for eack specimen not too much mutilated for millinery!purposes, The plumage of most of the birds to be obtained at this island is plain, but with the assistance of a little dye it is soon transformed into that of the gayly colored tropical birds. The birds comprised in this | wholesale slaughter are mainly the different species of gulls and terns, or sea-swallows, of which many species in large nambers could fur- morix be found upon this island. But now aly | fow of these graceful birds remain upon Cobb's | land iteolf, and the pot-hunters, or rather skin- hunters, have to gu some distance to carry out their cruel scheme. If we consider that with each old bird killedi—and only old birds have a suitable plumage—-aiso many of the young birds, etili unable to take care of thertiselves, are doomed to starvation, this wholesale slaughter | still more infamous end criminal. A deal of dissatisfaction was shown, by some of the — staying at the hotel about this matter, but they did not do anything to prevent it. some contended that no matter how many gulls and terns would be killed now there would be plenty more during the next season. Poor rea- soning. Guils, like all otber birds, have certain laces to build their nests and rear their young: | all gulls go for this purpose only such places where they were born, and conse- quently by killing both parents and young in one none remain to return to their breed- wing season.

FLAVIA. — n the New Orleans Times-Domoerat from Matilde Serao, the George Sand of Italy. After the storms of passion, during those calm talks which beget spontaneous utterance, friendly intimacy, and loving comprehensions of one anéther—Flavia liked to speak of her childhood, that joyous time made beautiful by the delights of sunshine and the delights of laughter, These memories exalted her; and as inrevery her eyes sought a horizon now, alas! too far away;and ina voice tremb with emotion she would repeat the story those tender attentions, that inexhaustible affection with which a mother’s love had surrounded her. Then a sudden sadness quenched her ex- citemerit; her voice became faint; indistinctly she uurmured: „Mamma! Mamma!” And then as though she wished to divert her her fancy from these sweet but painful rever- ies, she took Cesario’s hand in hers, and looking into his eyes said to him: Tell me about thyself, my love; speak to me about thy childhodd!” Cesario, with the calm of one ha Pt ane sat- isfied, smiled at beras he smok cigar- ette: “I was achild very strong, very noisy, and very self-willed, my darling. That is all I know to tell thee.” Nothing elsef” „No, my love, nothing else.” “Well, then,” she said, shaking back her curls, “tell me something about thy little son. Cesario at once became slightly grave, and watched her face with a distrustful, searching gaze. But he read in her eyes such an humble curtosity, so intense an interest, that his suspi- cious Were completely dissipated. Then, smil- ing with paternal pride, he told her about his little boy, whose name was Paolo, like that of his grandfather, and whé did not want to be called baby“ any more, now that he was ten years old, and thought himself a big boy. „Is his hair as blond as thine?” asked Flavia, who had not lost a single word. Very blond and very curly. He gets angry when 1 tell him that he has a wig.... He is very sensitive to ridicule: he cannot understand a joke. If any one makes fun of him he turns pale; but he does not cry. He goes into some corner and thinks about it; then, if anybody speaks to him, he won't answer;—he feels wounded, not as a child feels, but like a man.” “Perhaps his health is delicate“ queried Flavia, with a thoughtful look. “Not at all; he is only sentimental, a great deal too sentimental, I fancy. I must cure him of this exquisite sensibility; if 1 do not he will ha v to suffer a great deal when he acccustoms himself to love somebody too much; he will have too mich to endure when he learns what | deception is. Ah! how I pity him!” A ‘painful silence followed. The conversa- tion again began, became tender, but it had no | Jonger its former charm. Cesario tried to con- tinue the chat about his little boy; but he did not feel at ease; for when he spoke of Paolo: the image of. the mother, of the young wife whom he had betrayed, arose before him; and a senti- ment of respect for the woman he no longer loved, and a feeling of delicacy for her he loved now, forbade him to pronounce the name of his wife in the presencé of his new companion. He remained silent; and Flavia, sudden! Y rising, approached him, and said to him with all that flaitering sweetness which marks the woman who has only to show herself in order to con- quer: “Why do’st thou not bring thy little boy to see me?” The first time that Flavia put this strange question Cesario started with vexation, and answered sharply: 3 hy, thou must be mad to ask such a thing of me. Nevertheless Flavia did not suffer herself to be thus discouraged, From time totime, when- ever Cesario became a little more affectionate, she took advantage of it to ask him, with all devices of — coaxing, to bring the child tosee her. It was in vain that he refused to answer, or tried to change the subject, Flavia always kept to her point with such obstinacy that at last Cesario, angered to find that she seemed to have no conception of the gross im- propriety of her demand, said one day: “Tt is Paolo’s mother alone who has charge of him; she is not going to send him to thee; and thou shouldst have judgment enough to know the reason.” This reply provoked a terrible scene; Flavia alternately reproached herself for her culpable affection, and reproached Cesario with it; she wept; she sobhed desperately; she wrung her hands; she cursed the ny of her birth, and the day she first saw Cesario, and the love that had been the curse of her whole life. Cesario vain- ly strove to console her; the miserable little creature refused to listen, and poured forth all her long pent-up wretchedness. all the secret woe that her false potition had caused her: she humbled herself even to the point of confessing her remorse, of regretting her ideal of happy married life, domestic peace, womanly purity— everything that she had renounced for Cesario’s sake. He was obliged to kiss her, to murmur many words of vague consolation which were totally ineffective—forasmuch as all that she had suid was strictly true—to stroke her hair | like a sick child's, to rock her grief to sleep by dint of much petting, and, finally, to promise her to bring the child some day—that was to say’, 2s soon as possibie. ‘Wilt thou leave him here alone with me, my k Ve * “Yes, I will leave him with thee, darling, on condition thou wilt promise not to cry any more,” “Thou wilt leave him with me for one whole hour „A long as thou wilt, my dearest.” “Oh, how gold thon art!

She joined her hands to- gether in a gesture of iiration, and mur- mured in a law voice: How pretty he is! how pretty he is.” * turning to the father, she whispered in ear: 2 — _ if Moe lady mo.“ ; O, will you kiss t * — „Ves, said dhe child.

Hut dost thon not want to look like papa?” she asked in an almost trembling voice. “Papa is me, but mother is much more nandsome ; her hair is long, long; and her “No.” „Aud why dost thou not know her?” : her eyes. — ngly at her, and said nothing. She rose to get him some sweetmeats. He refused them, but looked at them like a well-brought up child who does not dare to ac- what he wants. Why wilt thou not take them?” That would not be right,—thanks.” “But if thou likest them, why wilt thou not take them, Paolo? Was it at school they taught thee to refuse!’ “No; it was mamma who taught me. I do not go to school.” And who teaches thee thy lessons!” “Mamma. She cannot remain algne from morning until 3 o’clock: that is why she teaches me reading and writing until noon.” And at noon?” “Then we take breakfast, mamma and I?” “You two, all alone?” “Papa never breakfasts with us. He has too much to do; he is always very busy: he is even too busy.” There was a brief silence. Take some sweetmeats, my little Paolo,” There are too many for me,” said Paolo, almost ready to yield to the temptation. Thou canst share them with some of thy little friends.” “T have none.” “And who dost thou play with, then!“ “With mamma, when she likes to play.” „And she does not always like to play?” “No.” | Since their advent in doing well. Now ostrich farmin “Why?” The child looked keenly at her, and did not | answer. An expression of terror passed quick- | ly over Flavia’s face. But Paolo knew nothing, | and could not have comprehended either her question or her fears. So you do not have much amusement?” she continued, with a forced effort to contain her emotion. “Oh, yes; I have plenty of amusement. Mamma embroiders and plays the piano; and I look at the pictures in the books, I play at houset-building, and I go out on the balcony to look at the people passing in the street.” “And Jou are always alone thou and thy mamma? “Always. Papa would keep us company, but he is so busy, he is dreadfylly busy.” And who told thee about his being dread- fully busy?” Mamma.“ „Ah!“ Mamma also tells me stories to amuse me when lam tired; but her stories are too sad! They make me cry. Do you know any stories to make people laugh?” “No, my darling. And it is in the evening she tells you those stories?” Mes, in the evening. But I would like to go to the theater better, where papa used to take us long ago—Mmammaand me. Papa cannot take us there any more; and we go to bed very early. He comes home very, very late; he walks on tiptoe in the next room so as not to wake us. ut mamma is always awake then, and Iam awake very often, Than she whisp- ers: ‘Papa’s come.’ And When papa comes in to kiss me, we close our eyes and pretend to be asleep.” Fapa always kisses thee?” Yes; and then he goes out of the room on tip toe, just as he came in.” And he doesn’t kiss mamma?” No;“ replied the child, pensively. Then you sleep in mamma’s room?” “Yes! Long ago I used not to to; but when papa went ona voyage for a whole month, mamma was afraid to be alone, so she had my bed placed in her room, and I have slept there ever since.” Flavia sunk back in her chair, feeling as though she were about to faint. The child looked at her with his gentle, astonished eyes. She did not speak, she dil not move. And Paola began to be afraid; afraid of that beautiful lady, whe was so pale, so pale! He twisted his little cap in his hands, — it seemed to him that his father had been away so long, se long! Then Flavia’s whole form seemed to quiver, and Paolo saw in her face such a great strange pain that he held out his arms to her as his own mamma, and asked: What hast thou? What ails thee!” She burst into tears and sobs as she passion- ately kissed the littie boy, who wondered at her tears and her kisses. The poor woman's tears coutinued to fall on Paolo’s checks, on Paolo’s neck. “Do not cry, madam! do not ery so! It will be all right! it will be nothing!“ J will not cry any more; no, I will not cry ! Give me a kiss like the kisses thou givest mamma.” And be put his arms about her neck, and kissed her. ‘Good-bye, my darling. Now stay here a little while longer. Papa will come totake you home. As for me, I must go.” a 5 I tell mamma that I came here “ “Why !“ Because papa told me not to tell her.“ She reflected a moment; then, suddenly, as if overcoming her last hesitation, she said : “Yes! tell her, my child; tell her, my darling; tell her that you have seen Flavia.” rs | . Since that day Cesario and Flavia have never met. MATILDE SERAO.

As if Frenchmen had not sufficient excuses for drinking absinthe already, a French priest, fresh from Cochin China, has supplied them with another. Absinthe, it is now proclaimed is an infallible remedy for cholera. A small dose of absinthe, taken ina glass of claret, will restore circulation and warmth. With some patients the cure is as rapid as the attack; with “stay . others it only accomplished after twenty-four hours. Ina small parish in Cochin China, M. Janin, the priest in question, cured seventy- three cholera patients out seventy-six attacked by the disease, Six French soldiersin the for- tress Soctrang were cured by the same means, while only one died, and he was dying before Janin.

How the Great Birds Are Doing at Sylvan Lake, of apt he Por — of fine three years old, brought from Nubia by Mr. Reiche. In con- versation with a Telegram reporter tm A he roe said:—“This farm, of course, was starte make money, and accordingly we have chosen the best spot we could find tor raising the birds. The land about Sylvan Lake is high and dry, and the climate warm, just what the birds need. lorida they have been is a new business here, but we expect to make a success of it. The birds we have now are thriving: no accident has to them, and their first crop of feathers we expect this year. Of course that is the most important branch of the indus- try, and to have a good crop of feathers isa very desirable thing. When young,the ostrich’s back is covered with a straggling lot of white and black quills, underneath which is a thick coating of brownish down. In the course of three or four months these disappear, and ele- men feathers are formed, and at the end Of the year the first clipping of feathers takes place. The first crop, how- ever, is not a good one, and it is only after some little time that the yield is valuable. In the wing is a row of about twenty-four magnificent long white feathers, called ‘primaries.’ These are the choice tothe picking, and on account of their position are so protected from the air that they are snowy white. From this row forward, on the wing, the feathers are more or less inter- mixed with gray; until they finally end in either pure gray or black, according to sex. 7 1121177. f > it have the back yard at all times as clean front one.

Still, the dresser and dealer realize a good deal out of them by careful manipulation, To clip an ostrich, a single one is driven into a pen just large enough to enable it to move about, and a bag is tied over its head, leaving but a hole large enough for it to breathe through. Then the wings are lifted and the feathers takeu off one by one, Generally the birds submit to this operation quietly, but sometimes they get angry and thrash around. If our farm is a success it may only be the precurser of others, and I see no reason why they may not Le successful.

Something About the Domestic Life of Mormons With Many Wives. From Harper's Magazine. The private home routine of a polygamous family is a matter upon which so much curi- osity is constantly expressed by my acquaint- ances that I venture tosay here what little f know; but the reader must remember that less than 10 per cent, of the voting Mormon popula- tion of h are polycamists. The potygamist, as a rule, has accumulated some property and owns a house before he takes a second and successive wives, though sometimes he begins by marrying two or three at once. Allof these marriages, however, ex- cept the first, are made secretly by the Church, and no record of them is accessible. In the City, at least, it is seidom that the dif- ferent wives share the same quarters. lu the country this is not so uncommon, but the natur- al unpleasantness follows in most cases. The general method isto have a large house, the main part of which, perhaps, is occupied by the first wife and wings or additions by the succes- sive candidates for marital honors. ‘Those large straggling, hotel-like houses are common in Salt Lake City, and mark a difference betweon it and a town of small houses like Cheyenne and most other Western villages. In many cases, however, the husband sets up his wives in dif- ferent homes, either side by side or in different parts of the city. in any case each has her own kitchen, garden,ete.

Mr. Rhodes lifted him to an easier posture, where he could look out upon the street, and drink in the fresh morning air. For a few moments he seemed to gain new life. Then he began to sink — 7 his eyes partially closed, aud in low, cadences, with considerable pause between each accent, he uttered: ‘Death! Death!! Death!!!” After this he seemed to revive slightly. Mrs. Douglas asking if he had any message for his sons, Robbie and Stevie, he replied: Tell them to obey the laws and support the constitution of the United States.” At about 5 o’clock Dr. Miller came into the room and noticing the open shutters and windows, inquired: ‘Why have you these windows raised and so much light?” Mr. Douglas answered: So that we can have 8 1 5 At Mr. Douglas’ request, Mr. esc —— the dying man’s — again in the bed, for the last time. e now lay rather down in the middle of the bed upon his left side, his head slightly bent forward and off the pillow.

THE ONLY REALLY MERITORIOUS LIAR in the theatrical line, who seems to be getting in any good work is Harry ent, the ex-prestidigi- tateur, who discovered Modjeska, Rhea ape 6 few other foreign dramatic curiosities. Harry now a new claimant for the American dollar. The claim- ant is a woman, like all of Harry's other discoveries and this time she hails from Austria. She is sai to be simply remarkable—to be the Bernhardt of her own country. If there could have been any possihie doubt about this latter phase of the busi- ness it was forever set at rest by Modjeska's dec- laration of its tguth. Somehow or other, this trib- utary puff of the great Austrian actress was wrung from the Polish Countess; and then Christine Nilsson in her sweetest tones added her modicum of gush in favor of the new artiste, whose name is Janisch. She has been described in the papers as beautiful, and her emotional capacity is said to be something beyond the remotest reach of even ourown Clara Morris’ ideas in this direction. Just exactly what Janisch is going to do, or how she is going to do it, is not yet known. Her manager is too busy at pres- ent lying about herto say what her repertoire will consist of or how she will be supported. He is working her justaboutas he worked Khea, the extraordinary genius who cameto the United States as the pet of the Czar and the os beauty of the St. Petersburg stage, and wound up as a very weak red-haired répresentative of the school of ac- tresses who depend largely upon the “society racket" for success. Janisch will yo try the same class of — in which Rhea has artistically failed, but financially and socially“ triumphed. She will be one of the foreign attractions of the season, and if a large quantity of preliminary fiction drifting through the provincial press can do her any good she will have a strong foothold in popular favor when she makes her American debut. — It is amusing in this connection to read THE CONFESSIONS OF HARRY SARGENT as they appearina recent published interview. In these confessions mw f pleasantly reveals some of the methods employed theatrical liars to quicken the public pulse. He tells thejstory of Modjeska’s first diamond necklace, which was put down at $40,- 000 and said to have been a present from the Czar. The story Harry tells is that when he discovered Modjeska in California, she hadn't a penny to buy a loaf of bread. One day walking the streets of Mon- treal, the Polish countess and her manager saw a dia- mond necklace‘jn a jeweler’s window. They had not the smallest hope of buying it, but went in just to look at it. What was its price? they asked with J. G. BRANDT, 504-506 Franklin — —̃— company; but no matter where or how the start is made e sole and central idea of all theat- rical managment is based upon the assumption that theatrical glory begins in New Vork, and the sum total of theatrical judgment is located in the heads of New York theater goers. Having an attraction they work it m this way: They build magnificent scener, in which to set their play and engage the best avau- able talent to interpret; the company may cost $1,500 a week or more; the papers laud the per- formance and the notices are sent’ broadcast to all managers throughout the country; the run is long; the play is a grand success. Then begins the —— forthe road. A smaller and cheaper set of scenery is secured, the high-salaried perform- ers are dropped, and those who remain or are em- ~~~ in the change are obliged to double parts. or instance, a company of eighteen aes on or even fewer if necessary, will handle a play of twenty-six speaking parts. This new company wil) not cost more than $800 a week. Expenses have been reduced and in consequence the merit of the play and the quality of the perform- ancehas also been decreased, Then, too, THE DEMAND FOR PLAYS is growing each year. As soon as an actor or an actress makes a hit in a small part, or a variety per- former gets a tough play writien to fit his special- ties, immediately must a company be gotten to- gether to support him. This increase in the num- ber of barn storming and tie-chasing stars- makes advancement from the lower ranks, too tapid for everybody concerned and the consequence is had in villainous performances, Then, again, there is no American player 80 modest that when he or she makes a success and a reputation with a good company than at once does he or she arrogate all the creditof the success to the star, and at once proceed to get rid of the best features of the support, and travel on their reputation. The absence of good performers in this country, and the outrageous impositions placed upon the American public are strikingly illustrated every day, not only inthe announcement of new London players being brought here, but in the dar- ing advertisements of managers like the chap who wrote to a dramaticagent in Chicago for “an actress to play Topsy and Aunt Ophelia, and to ‘double in brass’, at a salary of $10 per week.” There is no use of wasting further space in dis- cussing the poor quality of dramatic work the coun- try has teemed with in past seasons and will be steeped in this season. Every person at all versed in theatrical matters understands it. The result will be disaster for most dramatic organizations, while, just as Sam Colville said three years ago, the public will again be found rushing wildly after burlesque, comic opera and that sort of t . Indeed, itis now generally conceded that BURLESQUE WILL BE THE CRAZE. Miles & Barton will have one. reviving the old “Oxy- gen“ concert that Colville's Folly Company present- ed seven years ago.
