By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Yorx, August 13.—The story of cannibalism among the survivors of the Greely Arctic Expedi- tion caused thousands of men and women to visit the Brooklyn Navy Yard to learn for themselves the truth or falsity of the story. On board the Thetis every man seemed determined tokeep his mouth shut. About the large iron tankin which the dead bodies of the heroes were so long concealed a little knotof sailors had gathered. They were more communicative than their superiors, but few of them knew anything of importance. All had seen the bodies of the dead, but only after blankets had been wrapped about them. The remains lay for ten days on the deck of the Thetis before they were put in the alcohol tanks. Every sailor on board the fleet was questioned concerning the condition of the bodies. Most of them were willing to talk and there seemed to be no restriction placed on their lips. But they could not tell much, because they had not seen the bodies undressed. An honest looking German was pointed out on the Thetis as the seaman who had accompanied the officers to the graves. His name was Hujjesen. Not know- ing that he was being interviewed, he told the story of the finding of the bodies in a way that carried conviction with it. The conversation had drifted to the hardships endured by Greely’s men, and this leading up to the finding of the bodies at Cape Sa- bine. The sailors said it was Second Lieutenant Colville who stood by me as I dug up the bodies. He and one other officer and myself were the only ones that left the boat to go to the graves. You know how we found the live men lying under a spread of cold canvas too weak to lift up the flaps. They could only crawl on their hands and knees. Well, I didn't see them for some time after they were taken on board, AND CAN'T TELL MUCH about them, butI do know something about the bodies. As I was saying, the boat's crew took us up close to the little hill where the bodies lay and we three went up to get them. I had my shovel with me, but the first thing 1 saw was a naked corpse lying right out of the ground. On the calf of the leg and on the thigh there were deep cuts as though a sailor’s sheath knife had carved away the flesh. ‘The skin was drawn tightly over the rest of the body, and evenin the places where the cuts were not much flesh had been taken away. The man wastoo muchof askeleton, too much wasted to have yielded more than half an inch of flesh on any part of his body. The cuts looked 4s though some person had made a hasty cut on what were once the fleshy parte of thelegs. The slashes were about" eight Inches long and three inches wide. There were, on both legs and thighs, four cuts in all. Altogether there could not have been more than two or three pounds of meat taken from the corpses. The places where the flesh had been torn away had turned a yellowish black, but did not differ very much from the color of the skin. The man's face was drawn and haggard, the cheek bones stood out like an Indian‘s,andthe abdo- men had fallen in. It was the awfullest corpse I ever saw or want to see, I can tell you. We three stood there looking at it for sometime. Of course it wasn't my place to say anything, and I kept my mouth shut. Lieut. Colville was the first to say a word. Hesent me back for some blankets, so I dropped my shovel and hurried away. When I got back with the blankets there were two other naked bodies lying side by side with the first mutil- ated body we had found. I began to think that my shovel would not be needed. “Then these corpses had never been buried?” “Buried? No. They had been stripped of their clothes as soon as they died and left naked on the ground, Some of the FLESH HAD BEEN CUT AWAY from the arms and shoulders. The cuts were rough and jagged, as though done at night and at a time when the cannibal had to trust to his sense of feel- ing. Long shreds were stripped from the legs in ir- regular strips, suggesting the thought that the knife had been plunged in, and then the fingers had torn away what remained of the flesh. It was awful,” and the rough sailor shuddered and took another chew as he recalled the scene. “Well we wrapped what remained of the corpses in the blan- kets and went on a few steps, where we fonnd the graves. With the shovel I scraped off the thin layer of sand and brought to light the remains of the other nine men. These had been buried in their clothes just as they had died. A bag covered each one and by the names written on them we learned flesh and I deny ever having sent a communication saying 80 to Washington. That report is in the hands of the proper authorities, and if they soe ft to make it public, very well. Iwill say to you, however, that if the survivors of the party ate the flesh of their dead comrades I know nothing about it whatever. But, did I know of any- thing of the kind having been done. I should refuse to gratify a morbid curiosity and create a sensation oug of the sad misfortunes of these men by disclos- ing any knowlege to any but the proper authorities. Mea in such a situation lose their reason and are not strictly human beings. Starvation reduces men to brutes pretty rapidly and they will resort to means of sustaining life which to us would seem appalling. If you and I were reduced to such a strait that we must eat the other or both die, then it is proper that only the fittest should survive.” Commodore Schley slapped his hand upon the chart table, shut his mouth and turned away. ' LIEUTENANT CROSBY, second in command of the Bear, refused to make any statement, either affirming or denying the story, Seeond Lieutenant Colville turned to the reporter who questioned him about the matter and said: “I decline to answer.” “The men on the Thetis say that they exhumed the bodies and that they were in a terribly emaciated condition to say the least, some of them not weigh- ing more than twenty pounds?” 1 dug those bodies up myself. No seaman assisted me. Only one person , aided me, and that person was an officer. I discovered the bodies buried under the gravel and we dug them up, wrapped them in blankets and gave them to the sailors to carry down to the boats. “Then you would know if the flesh had been cut from the bones for the purpose of food?" “Again I must decline to answer. You want to know entirely too much.” Dr. Ames, surgeon of the Bear, attended the sick in company with Dr. Grace, of the Thetis. He de- nied in every particular the story that the dead had been devoured. Tom Maloney, a young sailor of the Thetis, who has been very intimate with the sailors on the voy- age home, declared that he knew nothing of cannibalism among the Greely crew, and he was one of those who were sent to bring the dead aboard the vessel from Cape Sabine. “Yes,” remarked Seaman Taylor, breaking into the conversation, “I was with Maloney on that trip, and he and I took out the bodies. The flesh was very much shriveled up. Where the gravel had blowp off of one body the toes were exposed. They were like skeleton's toes. We had tried to carry the bodies down carefully but two of the men slipped in climbing down and they let the body of Lieut. Kis- lingbury fall and the back was broken. That's all the maiming that I heard of. However, I am in the service yet and can't say much. Maybe in ten days, when I get my discharge, I may say more. The non-committal attitude of all the subordinate officers is pointed out as confirming the report that THE STARVING WRETCHES did feed upon their brothers, but it is generally con- ceded that this was not done publicly. If done at all it was in the darkness of night that, crazed with hunger, the, starving unfortunates crept, knife in hand, toward the frozen corpses. It was when no eye could see them, when thé awful deed was hidden from even their own t. that they tore the flesh from thé limbs and it half raw. There was no companionship in this horrible feasting. Every hungry wretch shut his eyes to the mute tes- timomy of mutilated bodies. No man could say his friend eat of that flesh. It was one de bad geen vagary of @ wild madness and should be forgotten with the passing of that madness. UNEASY REPUBLICANS. Blaine To Visit the New York Headquarters —Conkling’s Apathy. By Telegraph.to the Post-Dispatch. New Yorc, August 13.—James G. Blaine will ar- rive here Wednesday next to deal direct with John G. O’Brien and to attempt a conciliation with Ros- coe Conkling. The fact that Johnny O'Brien has stubbornly refused to begin his New York City campaign until he could have a personal conference with Mr. Blaine, has caused more or less uneasiness at the Republican headquarters. Mr. O’Brien and Messrs. Bigler and Wheeler have deciared for Blaine very much as Tammany declared for Cleveland and Hen- dricks, and a great deal of curiosity is manifested as to how Mr. Biaine will “fix the thing.” Roscoe Conkling has not been mentioned half a dozen times since the Chicago Convention in the papers here, and for the time being has sunk out of Sight. The Brooklyn straight-out Republicans claimed to-day that they had been trying to get Mr. Conkling to speak for them for several weeks, and that mght he gave an answer which they CONSTRUE AS FAVORABLE. More than this,it is promised that Conkling will k but twice during the cam —once at Brooklyn, and again af Utica, where he will talk to his old friends and neighbors. Just why Mr. Blaine should take the trouble to reconcile Mr. Conkling for two speeches is not made plain. Mr. Conkling, however, understands his programmein the present cam- paign to be quite contrary to the one marked out or him. The writer bas Mr. Conkling's personal assurance of the following facts: He will not speak in this cam u; he will not tear Mr. Schurz to pieces; he nothing to be reconciled about; he will not so much as wag his little finger in the cam- E one way or the other; he will vote for whom e pleases, if he votes at all, and he will not vote at all unless it its very convenient for him to do so. With these few exceptions the programme made out for Mr. Conkling by sanguine politicians is absolute- ly correct.

Mo., August 13.—In the after- | noon session of the Democratic State Convention the time was mainly devoted to speech making, the orators of the occasion being Congressman A. M. Dockery, Charles H. Mansur, Congressman Alexan- der, Nat. Dryden and Judge Lindley. The evening session began at 8 o'clock. The report of the Com- mittee on Credentials was adopted.

Collison, pastor of the Fullerton Avenue Presb; terian Church iu this city, murdered his wife and committed sui- cide at Lake View, a suburb of this city. A friend of the family called yesterday afternoon to take Mrs. Collison out for drive, and while she was wait- ing outside in her buggy she heard two shots fired inside the house. When the neighbors entered the ‘place they found Mrs. Collison lying dead at the foot the hile was bleeding from a who they were. They were taken to the ships, wrapped in other blankets, and finally preserved in alcohol.” We did not know whether these bodies had been mutilated, and knew nothing of the four that had drifted out to sea. Down in the hold a member of the crew was found who had talked with one of the survivors. Other sailors declared that the survivors were close-mouthed and would tell very little of the sufferings they endured. But he seemed to have gained the confidence of one of the unfortunates while nursing him. The story of the John W.

HENRY, a private who was buried a few weeks ago at Cy- press Hill, was briefly thus: When thejgame grew very scarce, early last June, Greely called his men together and with them took account of the stock of food on hand. There were only a few days’ rations, and these were equally divided. In the division Henry made a grab for more than his share. This was passed over, but the next night he was caught stealing food A council was called to act on bis case. They were desperate men. They felt that their own lives lay in the protection of their rations. It was necessary to make an example, and besides, with one man out of the way, there would be one mouth less to fill, so with one voice the poor fellow was con- demned to die. He was shot in the head and and it was claimed that when the body was found the head was missing. The coffin buried at Cypress Hill contained only a beadless trunk.

Boston, August 18.—A special from Portsmouth, N. H., says: Earty this morning Col. Kent obtained an interview with Lieut. Greely, who admits that Henry had a military execution on June d. As early as Mare’) it was * that Henry was stealing the limited ood which was tioned the became necessary up discipline to inform Henry that he would ot if the practice continued, and that a similar fate would be meted out to any other member of the party detected in alike crime. If Henry had been permitted to continue bis stealin un of party would have surely starved to death, and Henry alone survived. After, and in spite of these warnings, Henry was again de- tected in stealing provisions, the food taken bein two pounds of bacon, and the eating of so muc made him sick. A search was then instituted when it was found that Henry had among other articles stolen and secreted a pair or sealskin boots had belonged to a hunter of the party. Lieut. Greely was, there- fore, forced, in order to maintain military, discipline and protect the lives of his other comrades, to issue & written order that Henry be shot, which order was carried into effect June 6th. As to the alleged can- nibalism Lieut. Greely says if there was anything of the kind it must “have been an indi- vidual act and not general. Nothin of the kind came under his observation.

Proceedings of the Convention this After- noon—The Treasurership. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch JEFFERGON Crrr, August 13.—Convention Hall.—A perfect flood of telegrams has come in upon Gen. Marmaduke, not only from all parts of the State, but from all parte of the country, congratulating him upon his nomination. Within an hour after Mr. McGrath's triumph, he, too, was the re- cipient of a large number of telegrams from St. Louis and Kansas City friends. The nomi- nations thus far made have proved as popular here as they seem to be elsewhere. The defeated candi- dates accept the result good naturedly although there are some charges of as to individual delegates indulged in trading. For instance, the Pettis County delegation made a trade by which its entire vote went to McGrath in consideration of a recipro- cation on the part of the McGrath men when the vote for Treasurer could be called for. In fact, ulte a number of votes were traded in ntry’s interest. During the noon recess MR. ED. BUTLER busied himself in the circulation of a petition for the pardon of Pat. McGlew, the Dorris murderer, who is reported to beina dying condition in the penitentiary, Ed. used his influence to such advantage that he had by 2 o'clock secured the signatures of over one hundred and fifty delegates. At 2 o'clock Gov. Hardin call to order once more when Johnston of Boone moved to economize time by limiting nominating speeches to five and seconding speeches to two minutes. He entered intoa mathematical calcula- tion showing that under the present rules the nom- inating speeches for the prospective candidates would consume five hours. Charles T. Noland held that this would be an amendment of the rules, and would require a two-thirds vote. The chair thought not. A motion to amend by pro- hibiting speeches altogether and limit- ing nominations to the mere mention of the names, was tabled and the motion making five minutes a limit carried. Mr. Arnold of Scott nomi- nated, as a representative of the German element and as a representative of the much slighted Northeast, James M. Siebert. His eulogy of Siebert was very artistic. Col. O'Fallon seconded the nom- ination, which significant because O Fallon is one of the Marmaduke managers. He ke strongly in behalf of a German nominee for the ticket, and prophesied that by the aid of the German vote the Democratic “aes would carry Illinois and Ohio. Gen. Craig made a most feel ing speech in behalf of Elijah Gates,whom he placed in nomination as the poor old shattered remnant of a Confederate, who,on coming back from the war, found, where he had left a handsome estate, his suffering family and nothing else left tohim. He went to war like a man carrying honor with his one arm to — 45 his family, and now he asked to be bono by the trust of the treasurership,not because he was a Confederate, but because he was a man. Time was called on the old General. and he remarked the chairman was 80 strict he ought to have been born on à railroad train. The Convention extended his time and he reviewed Gates’ record asa treasurer, making a strong speech. CONVENTION NOTES, John T. Daniel, Treasurer of Nodaway County, was in attendance on the convention, largely in the interest of Hon. A. P. Morehouse. Mr. Daniel - sesses as large an acquaintance among the leading men of the State as any one we can now think of. His quiet, gentlemanly demeanor and good-natured smile render him a favorite visitor of the different headquarters, and his almost unlimited knowledge of the many combinations render him a valuable aid to the cause he represented. When the Post-Dispatca announced that Waters was brought into the race by Morehouse to weaken Gates’ chances, which was incorrect, Waters with- drew from the race, determined that he should not be used to injure Morehouse's chances. — = Virginia Legislature. Ricumonp, Va., August 13.—The General Assem- bly met at noon in extra session. A joint committee waited on the Governor to inform him that the Legislature as ready to receive any communication, and subsequently reported that he would communicate in an hour with both Houses They then took a recess. Upon reassembling a cObrief message from the Governor was presented, in which after stating his reasons for responding to the de- mand for an extra session by calling the legislature together, he says that, “though there were some errors of law which are called for correction and some matters upon which new legislation will be desirable he did not then, nor he now, recognize such as would have justified in the absence of the constitutional demand in con- veniug a special session. In the Senate two resolu- tions were introduced, looking to the question of whether the members would take any pay or — pay for the extra session. Both were tabled. n- ator Weckham introduced * requesting the Governor to Henate whether any facts have come to his knowledge that will make legislation n at this time to enforce the provisions of the various acta to rotect the credit of the Btate. At clock, after eulogistic remarks, the Senate adjourned in 992 to the memory of the late Senator Crumpter. The House adjourned immediately after the reading of the Governor's message.

Quite a large representation of promi- nent bankers are present. The meeting was called to order by President Lynn J. Gage of Ohicago. rere —4 offered by Rey. Dr. of fladelphia.

Hughes of Cincinnati moved that a committee of three to wait ace and invite Hon. Wm. Groesbeck to speak — question, and Mr. Hugh Hale and J. J. P. O'Donnell were appointed as the committee.

What had been done in the could be done in the future. It might be impossible for one coun- try tacarry gold and silver alone for its currency, and he favored, under the propane conditions, the suspension of silver coinage in the United States un- til other nations took action on the subject. A vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Groesbeck, and the resolution then carried. The following resolution was adopted: “Resolved, That, in view of the fact that the articles of association of the National banks of | thecountry are rapidly expi without suffi- cient inducements for renewal, and owing to the de- sire to constantly diminish this amount and high prices of government bonds upon which the bank circulation is based, thus threatening the serious curtailment of the currency of the country, and since the bank-note circulation is absolutely secured and is issued under ample safeguards for its redemp- tion in currency, is necessary for the convenient transaction of the business of the country, and such condition can be best provided through the contin- ued operation of the NATIONAL BANK ACT, as has been attested by the responses of the last twenty-one years, theattention’of the Congress of the United States is urgently called to the necessity of immediate legislation to meet the improvement of the emergency.” Judge Poland of Vermont, one of the committee on commercial paper, made remarks on the subject of commercial paper. He said it was the important part and factor of all commerce, and so far as negotiable 2 was connected with trade, Congress has full juriadiction over it. He thought the bill went further than Congress had the power to go. The present House of Representa- tives was constituted to 2 upon the subject ot Na- tional Banks. The advice of Congress should be asked to pass a law to go to any extent that Congress has jurisdiction. The matter was referred to the Executive Com- mittee to press the matter to early action.

Comegys of Philadelphia presented a paper upon the conditions for safe banking. * AFTER COMPLIMENTING THE ASSOCIA TION on the fact that their skirts were clear of lobby scandals, and that it had devoted itself to the broad work of enhancing national prosperity, and, makin several practical suggestions; he outlined the wor which still lies the u. and said: At present we meet in the midst of some of the most interesting and most important —4— of finance, the result of what is popu- arly known asa panic.

To comprehend full and final effects is important to us all. I am not setting forth any new doctrine in affirming that the true remédy for a panic is of a two-fold character. First, the maintenance in all ofdinary times of adequate cash reserves. Second, 4 liberal use of cash reserves in times of panic BY JUDICIOUS LOANS. He thought the 25 per cent reserve fixed by the Na- tional Bank Act too small a minimum, but in panics the reserve should be freely but judiciously used. The opposite course, depletion during peace and quiet, and sharp contraction in moments of panic, was an injurious policy, though sanctioned by law. The New York banks, as a body, are ultimate or final holders of the cash reserve. They bear to the banks of the country a relation similar to that of the Bank of England in its Pelations to the British bank- ing system. has ye | been seen, experience has taught the Bank of England ite true duty and its path of — It always lends in a panic more freely than in inary timés. Its refusal in time of financial alarm to make ad- vances on custom securities would shake the whole financial fabric to the ground.” He spoke in terms of warm praise of the action of the Clear- ing House in New York during the panic of last May. He summed up the suggestions for averting panics as follows: e First—The keeping of cash revenues considerably larger than W per cent in ordinary periods by banks in the reserve cities. Second A repeal of usury laws, thus leaving the price of money to be regulated, as are all other com- modities, by the law of supply and demand. Third.—A removal of the injurious restriction now imposed by the national bank act, a restriction whigh if observed in time of a panic will prjudice the bank and imperil all business interests, Fourth.—The adcption of some rule fo secure a uniform practice in loaning freely in times of panic, out of the cash reserve. W. P. St. John of New York presented the POTTER REFUNDIXG BILL. It proposes to refund the existing public debt into 24 per cents by means acceptable to tne Govern- ment creditors, and is certainly ad- vantageous to the Government. The per cents to be Offered in exchange for the 8 per cents to be payableat the pleasure of the United States, and the exchange to made at par.

At least it was practically. brought to a sudden termination, for they have not lived ther since. This, in substance, is the tale that Kate Lark tells in her petition for divorce filed to-day against her husband, Thomas Lark. They were married at Hot Springs, came to St. Louis, and lived her about as unhappily as man and wife could until September of last year, when they separated. She asks for a divorce and the custody of their little one-year- old baby boy. Exposition Notes.

Erte Pa., August 13.—About 3 o'clock this morning fire broke out in the drug store of Brookers & Fleming in the northeastern part of this town and spread rapidly. In reply to a call for assistance a steamer was sent by the Erie Fire Department. It was several heurs before it could be got under con- trol, and the business portion of the town is now in ashes. Among the blocks destroyed are Town's, Loomis", Hall's, Bellknap's, the Union and the Haynes House. These and the Presbyterian Church were mostly fire brick buildings; built since the fire of 1871, when this same district was burned over. Among those burned out are First National Bank, Short, Blaine & Gould's Bank, Stocton's jew- elry store, Ferrel's grocery store, Logan's shoe store, Ingalls’ jewelry store, Loomis’ harness sh Kell- oge’s hardware and grocery store, Haynes’ Hotel and clothing house, Hammond's crockery store, Smiley & McDonald's grocery, Towns’ dry atore, Loomis & Sullivan's boot and shoe store, Damon's dry goods store, Holcomb's meat market, Greer's dry goods store, the Opera House, Ross’ drug store, Bellknap & Hitchcock's grocery, Butt’s cigar store and some small shops. Over two-thirds of the business portion of the town was destroyed, includ- ing the best buildings in the place. No estimate of the loss and insurance can be yet made. Fourteen Homeless Families.

POST. 815 and 517 — ẽGöZ———ñʒ—— U — — Subscribers leaving the city during the sum- mer months, can have the Post-Dispatch mailed to them regularly at the usual rates, by leaving their address at the counting-room, No. 515-17, Market street. KEIrerR has been tossed overboard by his party, but doubtless remembers that BLAINE was even more severely condemned by its lead- ing organs. ELxixs and the other bosses will discover the identical strawberry tint in KXxIFER’s tattoo marks after a while. SPEAKING of the GREELY cannibalism the Republican says: It is one of the exigencies to which Arctic expeditions are liable.” It is only the in editorial columns ofthe Republican that the English language is tortured into describing an expedition as being liable to an exigency. The Orphic Republican remarks: ‘Let the Post-Dispatcu quit using our spe- cial dispatches and other news without giving credit,andjthere may be less comparison between it and a respectable honest paper.” As we are not desirous of diminishing the frequency of such comparison we shall continue to divide with the Republican the labors of journalism. Whenever the Republican gets any news we will get people to read it. Tux ideal labor reformer is found in ex-Al- derman Durry of New York City. As an Al- derman, Durry voted in favor of giving all the city employes a half holiday on Saturday throughout the summer, with full pay. Asa private contractor, Mr. Durry keeps his men at work onthe streets all day Saturday regard- less of the interests of labor, which he cherished so touchingly when the cherishing was done at the expense of the public. — THE nomination of MARMADUKE was really accomplished not by the convention yes- terday, but by the county conventions whose proceedings finally grew monotonous as a mere roll-call of MARMADUKE delegations. A nomi- nation which represents so universal, hearty and voluntary a support is a compliment of which any one may well be proud. It justifies all that his friends have claimed and must be accepted as an indication of widespread popu- larity and political strength. Tun mob of Tennessee farmers who went in masks the other day to break up a Mormon meeting were making war on the fundamental law of the Republic when they supposed they were suppressing Mormonism only. By ap- pearing in masks they invited and justified the bloody reception that met them. They made Murderers of themselves and religious martyrs of their victims. That is not the way to stop Mormon proselyting anywhere, for the blood of its martyrs has beén the seed of more than one church. No matter how rank the moral heresy of a doctrine or how gross the inrposture of its missionaries, the weapons of truth and light are not only the only lawful but the only effective ones that can be used against it. Any one who aspires to fill the position of political boss in a big city needs a larger amount of sense than Mr. BuTLER gave evidence of having by his performance yesterday. When Mr. BuTLER is engaged in giving lessons in statesmanship to the Committay,“ he isa very large man, but when he is only a Ward dele- gate toa State convention he is of less impor- tance than a poor boy at a church fair, espe- cially in the existing relations between the country members and the city ring delegates. When Mr. BuT Ler stands up under such cir- cumstances and favors the convention with the views of his Ward as to what is the proper course for the Convention to follow, he incurs a fate which he has hitherto succeeded in avoid- ing; for the first time in his career he got him- self laughed at. Yeersrpay's Democratic platform of Mis- souri is one of the most sensible political docu- ments we have seen for à long time. In the first place it is short, and in such a document shortness is sweetness and light. It is sensible in all that it says and in all that {tdoes not say. It subscribes to the national Democratic profes- sion of faith, and stands by the local Demo- cratic record, and that is all there is to it. It does not take sides on the Prohibition question, nor does it straddle the question; it does not lay down a law for the people on the tariff, or the Chinese question, or the civil service question, or international copyright, or on our rela- tions with Foreign Powers, or on any other of the many burning, but irrelevant, issues with Tax peculiar style in which certain crow- eating Republican journals are defending Ramm recalls a little story of English ori- gin. The late Dr. FaRMER, master of Emman- uel College, Cambridge, and an intimate friend of WI tan Prrt, was very fond of a good joke, even when at his own expense, other- wise our little story could never have been told. One morning, when under the hands of the barber, he asked that es wan , question “What news 0 remark about you" e e r, in- « 2 5 7 1 e H a, 2 quired the curious Doctor. could not tell you, for it was too bad to repeat.” Still more curious now, the Doctor insisted upon being told, promising not to be angry. “Why sir, replied the reluetant barber, “Tom said you wasn’t fit to carry guts to a bear.“ “And what did you say?’ “J said that you was,” OFFICIAL LAW BREAKERS. PRESIDENT ARTHUR'S Collector of the Port of Chicago withdraws from the Republican Committee under legal advice that it is a vio- lation of the Civil Service Law for any mem- ber of the civil list to be a member of any com- mittee that receives and disburses moneys con- tributed by other members of the civil list for political purposes. But United States Marshal Jones of the Chicago District, who is indebted to Loo Ax for his appointment, refuses to with- draw from the Blaine Committee, and says that he is advised that his being a member of the committee does not make him responsible for its acts so as to expose him to the penalties of the law he would violate if he performed the functions of a committeeman. His idea is that an official can be a member | of a committee of campaign fund collectors, and serve its black-mailing purposes as an of- ficial bull-dozer of Government employes or as an official protector of those who violate the law, and yet not be guilty of violating the law him- self, if he does not personally handle the money they are forced to contribute, This would make the enactment of the law, or any attempt to enforce it, a pitiful farce. But the proba- bility is that Mr. LOGAN’s man is not as well adtised as Mr. ARTHUR’S man. The law wascarefully worded to divest such committees of all official authority or coercive influence so far as Government employes are concerned, and the official who consents to be a member of such a committee makes himself as guilty of all its acts as if he had consented to be a member of a gang of counterfeiters, knowing that they were engaged in making and shov- ing the queer.” Of course a party that has held ELKINs, DORSEY, Brapy and KELLOGG scatheless through all the Star Route exposures can be relied on to protect violators of the Civil Service law if BLAINE is elected. But if CLEVELAND should be inaugurated, every of- ficial belonging to a committee that receives campaign contributions from Government em- ployes, and every Government employe that contributes money for political purposes to a committee of which a Government official or employe is a member, will be prosecuted and punished with a fine not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment not exceeding three years, or both in the discretion of the court. WE were paying $3 50 an ounce for quinine when we abolished the protective duty that enabled a monopoly to charge three prices for it. We were told then that the removal of this protection would ruin the home manufacture and make us dependent on foreigners, who would soon establish a worse monopoly and make us pay more for an inferior article. But though the foreign article is now down to $1 in our market and two quinine manufactories at Manheim and one at Paris are about to sus- pend as the one at Milan did recently, American quinine is still produced at the rate of 2,000,000 ounces a year and is preferred at $1 25 to the foreign at $1. Our manufacturers complain that at this price their profit is discouragingly small. If so they should be protected by a duty large enough to cover the difference between home and foreign wages. But the fact that they can afford to sell at $123 while their | foreign competitors are going into bankruptcy | or suspending, isa proof that the duty under | which they extorted $3 50 from consumers was a great wrong. —_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_——— Mr. J. P. Pergins, the Kansas member of the National Prohibition Committee, a member also of the Kansas State Prohibition Commit- tee, publishes a card protesting against the lat- ter’s action in calling a State convention to nominate a Prohibition State ticket and a Sr. Joun electoral ticket. He distinctly recognizes the Republican party and its State and Na- tional tickets as a better reliance for the friends of Prohibition ascendancy, and says they are good enough for any Prohibitionist to vote for, “except one who would rather see Democracy without Prohibition than the success of the Re- publican party with it.“ Mn. Perkins is one of the faithful who believe with Nga Dow that the Prohibition party has, with the aid of BLAIN®, almost swallowed the Republican party and will soon have it gulped down and digested. The St. Jonx crowd seem to be afraid that the process will be reversed and that the Prohibition party will dissolve in the bowels of the great spoils organization. —— — — — GOVERNOR CRITTENDEN’S administration has, according to his own statement, reduced the rate of interest, induced the people of the State to live in harmony, made commerce prosper, and confirmed Democratic supremacy. It has also brought us good crops, exempted us from epidemics and from the visits of the seventeen year locusts. A Governor who can do so much for a State ought in common decency be made Senator at the expiration of his term, but the | tho colonization of non-resident negroes at various idea of political gratitude seems to be fading away from a callous and sordid generation and Crit will retire. —_—_—_— We give in another column the welcome news of the better prospectof business, now dawning upon our people. With good crops, good streets, good hotels, good weather, and with the great concourse of visitors which will be attracted here by the opening of the Expo- sition, and the display of the Trade’s Pageant, St. Louis will probably be the first of the great cities to feel the change from the dull times we have been enduring. — kel̃ Tun following item from the (English) Quar- terly Review tor July ought to be at least as in- “Indeed, sir, 1 grain to England to almost any extent, and on such terms as to compete with America in spite of the disparities of distance. In 1878, the value of Indian wheat exported was ouly £167,600. In i the value was 8.00, 502. Belgium alone bought wheat from India to the amount of 44.00, 00 in 1982-83, against £1,200 in 1878. SD Defending Fenians. | Indianapotis Sentinel. Then Capt. O’Donohue related to the party the story of the Fenians’ raid of 1866 into Canada by 4 few zealous young Fenians whose imaginations had been fired with the belief that they would strike terror to the heart of the mother country by this in- vasion of Canada, and how the United States Gov- ernment had quietly hitched a naval vessel to the transport on which they were crossing the Niagara River into the Engitsh dominions and towed them into port as prisoners. Do you remember the morning.“ continued Capt. O Donohue, “when you and I with the others stood before the bar of a criminal court at Buffalo, without a friend or counsel to defend us? We were a sorry lot, a rash band of young men resting under a grave | charge. While in this friendiess and helpless con- dition do you remember the young man, an obscure lawyer at the time, who stepped up and volunteered his services in our defense? He defended us persist- ently and consistently and successfully. When we afterwards raised a purse and presented it to him he refused to accept it, saying that he was glad to serve us, unfortunately situated as we were, without reward. That man was Grover Cleveland,the man just nominated by the Convention for President of the United States.” A Voluntary Contribution. From the New York World, On July d Mr. B. F. Jones, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, sent to Mr. M. C. Thomas, a Republican mail contractor at Tusca- loosa, Ala, the customary request for “voluntary” contributions. Mr. Thomas answered promptly on the 26th as fol- lows: Mr. B. F. Jones, Chairman Republican National Committee, No. 248 Fifth avenue, New York. Dear Str: Your letter of d soliciting contribu- tions to campaign fund to aid in the election of Blaine and Logan to the offices of President and Vice President of the United States, fully noted. I regret to state that I am short ot campaigu cur- rency just now, but hope to be able to do something forthem in November next. The grave which, under the management of Cleveland and Hendricks, is being dug by the Democratic party for the Blaine and Logan faction of the Republican party, will be wide and deep, and I hope to contribute my mite to the filling up of that grave. Ihopeto mingle with the millions of honest Republicans and Democrats in that funeral and cover up the old Star Route 8 to 7 hulk so deep that resurrection will never reach it. So mote it be, M. C. THOMAS. A Gloomy View of It. From the Chicago Herald. The assault made upon Mr. Cleveland is villainous and contemptible beyond the power of words fitly to describe. The onslaught on Mr. Blaine is even more dastardly, for which the assertion that his friends began that style of warfare will furnish no reasonable defense. It is too nauséating for perusal. With no reprisal the original slander would long before election have become the most powerful weapon in Cleveland's armory, destroying those who placed it there, and bringing to his side thousands of decent men, who would discountenance in any party the resort to such infamous methods of campaigning. Replied to in kind, as it now has been, it is probable that nothing can prevent a moral pestilence sweeping the land from ocean to ocean. In this wretched event no one need expect that the tongue of slander will stop at truth or partial truth. Every device known to foul and uncléan minds will be resorted to, and the character of no man or woman occupying positions of prominence will be safe. What the Ins“ Fear. Washington Cort espondence Cincinnati Enquirer. One secret of this backwardness is a fear that if elected Blaine may “shake up things. Three times the Plumed Knight“ has been a Presidential candi- date. Pending dach struggle he mortgaged and re- mortgaged the entire estate. If elected in Novem- ber, Blaine's outstanding political obligations will be far beyond his capacity to repay. To even discharge a tithe of the indebtedness would involve a whole- sale cleaning out in the entire branch of the Civil Service, The ins“ know this, and there is an anx- ious apprehension that his sweep might be broader and further-reaching than if Cleveland came in. Many think if Cleveland is elected he will want to pose as a reformer, and if so, would be more apt to make haste slowly in the matter of removals than the intrepid Blaine, who believes that “politics is power and not gratitude.” POLITICAL DRIFT. Aas! St. John, too, is a hollow mockery- be dyes his auburn mustachios. Con. VII As is being urged to run as the Democratic candidate for Governor of Wisconsin, Gen. Burizr has arranged for the spening of his “national headquarters“ in New York. Rocer A. Pryor says he supports Cleveland and bas not recently conferred with Mr. Kelly.

Little Mabel Hoder, six years of age, with large hazel eyes and light sunny hair came into Judge Thayer's Court this morning accompanied by her stepmother and her elder sister. Her father had died on the 16th of July last, and the two little or- bans wore badges of mourning in the shape of two ong black ribbons hanging down their backs from their neat little white straw hats,and two large black sashes about their waists. The occasion of her being in court was to answer a writ of habeas corpus, issued upon the application of one John C. Mann, who claimed that he was entitled to the custody of the child b virtue of a deed of indenture execu by the deceased father during his lifetime, trans- ferring the child to nim after his death. Col. J. L. Torrey and Mr. Donohue appeared for Mrs. H ‘ the respondent, and Mr. Hess for the petitioner. Mr. Torrey stat that Mr. ] en the attorney in the case, but be at present was at Jefferson City looking out for his political interests, and that as he and Mr. Donahue were not familiar with the facts in the case, they would ask that the hearing be laid over to some future day. After some discussion on this point, Judge Thayer called up Mrs. Hoder and 2 her as to the relationship she bore to Mabel. She said she was the second wife of Mr. Hoder, who died on the i6th of last, and that she had married him two rea ago last May. She had always the care and custody of his children by his first wife since their marriage. There was a third child, aged about 14 years, who was at school. Mr. Mann, the petitioner in the case, said that he was no rela- tion whatever to the child, but its mother had lived at his house for a year before she married Hoder. She had simply made it her home having no other—andshe had always promised him after her marriage that in the event of Mabel's coming an orphan he could adopt her as his own child. It wasin conformity to his dead wife's wishes that the husband had executed the deed above referred to. In consideration of the hartes not being ready for earing Judge Thayer said that Mrs. Hoder ve A bend in the sum of $500, conditioned that she would produce the child in court next Wednesday morning, he would rmit her to retain the custody until then.

Business Men Combine in Reporting a Lively Revival in Trade. — — Restoration of Confidence Following the Movement of the Crops—A Spontancous Avowal of Faith in the Future—As- suring Interviews With Bankers, Merchants and Manufacturers. A Post-Dispatcn reporter was detailed this morn- ing to take a walk among the business men and ascertain their views upon the prevalent condition of business in St. Louis and the prospect for fall trade. He was not on the hunt for a boom, but, having heard that a very gratifying revival of trade was giaddening the hearts of business men, he went in search of it and found it. In the offices of rail- road men, bankers, hotel-keepera, dry goods mer chants, hardware merchants, manufacturers and others, he found only one opinion, which was to the effect that the restoration of commercial confidence had set in, and that, with the great crop moving eastward, the business operations had been started which would not fail to culminate in one of the finest fall trades the city bas ever enjoyed.

St. Louis Moving Closer to the Top in the American Association. - — — The Louisvilies’ Last St.Louis Appearance Other Games Yesterday—Our Athletes in England — Sporting Notes, Chit-Chat and Sundries. The third successive victory for St. Louls over Louisville was won yesterday at Sportsman's Park in agame full of hard slugging on the part of both teams, the brilliant fielding of the Browns resulting ina victory by ascoreof6to3. The home team have won five, and yesterday's game places them on an almost equal footing with Louisville in the championship race. Foutz and Deasley formed the home club battery, Deagle starting in for Louisville, he being knocked out of the box. Recclug taking his place in the fifth. Louisville lost the toss and went to the bat, drawi a blank, and supplementing their efforta for the first five innings with the same result. Foutz was effective during this time, but a few hits being off his delivery, while his support was perfect. St. Louis was more successfulin their start; with one man 4 ey hit safe to left fleld, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch, and scored on McLaughlin's error. Their second grun, which was earned, was scored in the third, on O'Neill's two-bagger to left, and a clean hit by Comiskey. The fourth inning proved a bonaza for St. Louis. in which Deagle was unmercifully pounded, ‘and him 80 warmly that substituted in the Sullivan hit safe to night, and scored on Andrews’ two . * Reccius brought home Andrews, on a safe single. The game was thus won strictly on its merits, and proved another tribute to the superb work by Foutz, who has proven a great help to the Browns. He was, however, magnificently sup- ported. Dan Devinney umpired excellently. The game was witnessed by 4,589 spectators. Foutz began the fun with a single liner to centre. Krehmeyer followed with a beautiful drive for three bases to left centre, on which Foutz scored, Quest sent Krehmyer bome on his hit to right. Latham sent a clean single, r. 2 Who scored on Browning's muff of O-Neill's fly to short centre. Latham scored on Comiskey's single. This ended St. Louis run getting, and they felt safe. Louisvilie scored their first run in the sixth on Wolf's single and Sullivan's two bagger. In the ninth they made two more tallies, hitting Foutz hard. By this victory the Browns have made a very ap- preciabie advance in their games with the Cincinnati and Louisville, winning four out of the five played. In prophesying a lone lead for the Mets it was not considered that St. Louis would win s large a pro- portion of these difficult games, or that Columbus would win right along without losing. Columbus has tied the Mets on eames won, although having — — one more and having lost a single, being hind the New Yorkers by a mere shade—only ten points in .728. Louisville and St. Louis are a good second and third and havea very hard fight for the supremacy. Within the coming ten days St. Louis will keep up her difficult task; but during that time will tinish her series with the Columbus. Cincinnati and Louisville. Witha fair average of success her position will be a superb one when she enters into the lists with the Toledo, Indianapolis, Pittsburg, Richmonda, Baltimore, Athletic. Brook- lyn and Fietropolitans —the last being the only team at is apt to give our men much trouble, consider- ing the way they have been playing ball. The Mets will have a desperate struggle to keep on top, hav- ing to meet the four strong Western organizations— their only rivals—in a yery lar number of games at home and abroad. The mm- ye truth is that Columbus’ position E possibly the best in the fight with St. Louis and Louisville baving the next best position, with St. Louis the choice on account of her superior shape and form. This, of course, considering the games the clubs have to play. Apart from this the games lost and won, the totais played and averages won by the five leading clubs asthey stand this morning are as follows: Won. Lost. Total. Average. 1..Metropolitans.... 51 19 70 N. „Columbus 51 BU 2 24 27 2 J. Louisville 4. St. Louis 6..Cincinnati The Browns Tour. The St. Louis club will leave on its tour this even- ing, playing in Columbus to-morrow, Thursday and Friday; in Cincinnati Saturday and Bunday, and in Louisville Tuesday and Thursday, closing the series with those clubs, and returning here on the 23d, laying their reception game with the Toledo. Tom Daina as sufflcientiy recovered from his Louisville injury tojump in and catch any time, and with Krehmeyer and Deasiey wil complete an excellent equipment of catchers, while for he other end of e battery McGinnis, Foutz, Q'Neill and vis provide a quartette hard to beat. For basemen, Comiskey, Quest, Latham, and Fulmer, who will join the club at Columbus, will attend to matters capably, all being in fine form, while Will Gleason is playing a superb short field. For out- fielders there are Nicol, Fouta, O'Neill, Fulmer or Quest and Davis for a selection. Fred Lewis bas so far recovered that he will accompany the club and will probably resume his position at center, where he has been such a tower of strength of late—to say nothing of the importance of his wood work. So the St. Louis will start off in fine shape, and will be accompanird by President Von der Ahe and Man- ager ams, who will contribute their share towards moulding success on the tour.

Snook was doing well, though, and when Myers raced to close 3 gap he had a 40-yard man (Cox) with him for 100 yards. At 900 he caught and passed Snook, but when leaving Cox on the last turn, and as he swung round into the finishing straight, the latter accidentally hit him in the ribs with his elbows. From 900 yards Myers came on a half-yard ahead of Snook, but the little Moseley larrier had a bit left to go home with.

They claim to have ‘two pitchers, both of whom are the equal of Foutz, and two catchers both of whom are better men than Baldwin Of fourteen games just played, the Quincys won twelve, and three of these were from the ö Citys, they on one occasion batting Foutz out of the box. When they left the Northwestern League they were in the lead in the race for the pennant, so that they justly lay claim tothe title of champions.

I had a watch fastened to my buttonhole, and I knew exactly how each quarter was made. I did not dare to force her very fast to the quarter pole, and was satisfied when I reached it in 9294 Then I began to crowd her. I wanted to reach the half mile in 1:04.

BROADWAY. HENDRICKS IN NEW YORK The Governor Has Completed His Letter of Acceptance. Clevéland’s Letter Will be Ready Week Aft- er Next—An Estimate ofthe Prohibli- tion Vote in Ohioand Illinois— The German Vote Going to Cleveland—The Independents. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Yor«, August 13.—Gov. Hendricks came up from Manhattan Beach to-day for the purpose of meeting Dan Manning, just in from Cleveland's va- cation grounds. Mr. Hendricks has had his letter of acceptance ready for two weeks, and he is anxious to fire it off: Mr. Manning told him that Gov. Cleve- land was still at work on his letter, and had no idea of finishing it until week after next. In and about the Democratic National headquarters a great deal of solid satisfaction is manifested over the happy way in which Mr. Cleve- land is being rid of the — by the voluntary in- vestigations of friends and enemies. The general opinion is that the sensation will die out in a little while and will not cost the Governor a vote. An im- portant business meeting of the State Executive Committee was held this afternoon, and Tammany had no representative present. It was decided to devote sharp work to circulating literature amu the laboring classes proving that Cleveland is — always bas been their friend, while the alleged dis- affection among Irish-Americans will be left pretty much to settle itself, as none but anxious Republicans believe itis at all serious. Governor Cleveland will meet the National Executive Com- mittee in this city immediately upon finishing his vacation. A leading TOPIC OF SERIOUS DISCUSSION am the Republicans is the talk of the Germans in Ohio and Iiiinois. They are credited with 60,000 votes in Ohio solid against Blaine and of the 135,000 German votes in Illinois, Cleveland seems to have at least 105.000 secured while the Prohibitionists claim 99,090 votes in Tilinoia, mostly drawn from Republican ranks, and 85,000 in Ohio, taken from mixed sources, Ik ures are approximately correct and the statement of the vote is rightly placed, the Republicans would seem to have good grounds for worryment. Carter Harrison is conced- ed to be very popular with the German and Irish vote of his State from him the Republican managers look for moat of their trouble to come in lilinois, notwithstanding the great strength and popularity of Gen, Oglesby. It is expected that Steve Elkins will go te Chicago next week to find out for himself just how things stand and will call on Judge Foraxer of Ohio, on his way honrfie, THE INDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS, It is officially asserted that the Independent b- lican movement will be strengthened by Tammany s refusal to su Cleveiand heartily, and it is 2 lieved that movetnent will be more strengthened in Massachusetts than in New York. This cially true in the western counties of the Bay State, where the Independents in most of the towns num- old-time Republican a large Butler ts seem to have resolved on a still hunt. In Vermont, ton the Re. publican a represents itself in every town, and will give itself expression in an unprecedented vote for Redington, the Democratic nominee for Governor. efections alarm the Kepublicans.

The second nurse was soon so disabled that she was obliged to leave, but Miss Quinn remained, and as the patient continually attempted to escape she locked the door. The patient soon secured the key and then a few moments later, with a wild shriek, dashed to the window and attemp to leap out. The nurse threw herself upon the crazy woman and jailed her, but the infuriated patient turned upon her preserver, tore off her ci scratched her and bit her in the most violent ner. The maniac was shrieking and the nurse call- ing for help, and and a crowd soon gathered about the door, unable to getin.

From the Toronto Giobe. A young man arrived in Toronto on Tuesday evening from Norval with the object of look- ing foremployment. For the past seven years he has been ving with Mr. Joseph Leslie, a farmer living in the vicinity of Norval, and owing to a physical deformity he decided to come to the metropolis to seek his fortune. He afrived in this city late in the evening, and was wandering about on Bay street from house to house * for the address which had been given him by his friends in Norval, when he came to Mr. M. C. Snider's, a short distance south of King street. Mr. Snider, noticing that he wasa stranger, offered to keep him over night.

Leslie has on recollections of his home in Italy, but remem- bers that when alittle fellow helived some time in Toronto and earned a living for himself and his padrone by playing a violin about the streets. A short time afterward he went to work for Mr. Robertson, a farmer living some distance west of Toronto. While living with Mr. Robertson, the boy, who does not know his name, was named Robertson, and when he was em 8 by Mr. Leslie he changed his name to of his employer. This name he has taken ever since, but last night he was in a dilemma. The harpist remembered the boy when he lived in Toronto years ago, but had forgotten the name of his father, who — 2 emigrated from Italy to New York with his wife and fam- ily. Both of Leslie's parents died some time ago, but the harpist says he knows Leslie’s two sisters, who are still residents of that city. The Italians took charge of the long lost youth and will communicate with his relatives in New York to-day. A Globe reporter had a talk last night with the young man, who he found can not speak a word of the Italian language. He has never spent a day in school, and says that time and again he has wondered what his name — “T did not know what to make of myself,” Leslie, but I hope in the course of a day or two to learn my own name.” Finest Goods and Lowest Prices. ) Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Co., 4th and Locust.

The Life of Napoleon and His Em- press, the Handsome Eugenie. A i | writer has just published a curi- ous micograph on the second empire, entitled The Imperial Court at —2 — The au- thoress— for the pseudonyme Sylvanecte con-. ceals a female pen — was a witness of the life of Napoleon III. and of his empress, some Eugenie. She relates what she saw and makes us witness the hatching of some of the imperial projects, showing to what trivial causes were due the successes and reverses of that regime. Sylvanecte gives an account cf the hunts, the Is, the theatrical entertain- ments, ofall that whirl “of social life in the midst of which the victory of Solferino and the catastrophe of Sedan were prepared.’ These contemporary souvenirs give us, in the first place, a curious series of sketches of the rincipal personages who presided over the etes at Compiegne, as for example the follow- ing elements for an authentic portrait of the Empress Eugenie: ‘Physically the mate of Napoleon III. answers quite accurately to the rtrait M. de Bismarck, ex-ambassador of -russia to Paris, has traced of her: Very ty, of average height, magnificent shoulders, a blonde, intellectually. a good deal of natural wit, but very little instruction, and taking but little interest in intellectual matters.” Syl vanecte denies the accuracy of this observsa tion. The empress,” says she, had neither less nor more instruction than the 2 part of her compatriots: in Spain all that is required of women is that they should be loveable and pretty; on the whole Mile. Montito Marchioness de Moya y Teba had seen much, read little and heard a great deal, and she remembered what she had seen and heard. She was as familiar with history or rather with the chronique gal- ante of 9 as she was with that of Trouville and Monte Cario.“ The free man- ners of the empress seem to have often scan- dalized some of. those who surrounded her. One evening when a charade was being played, the actors and actresses so forgot themselves thata young colonel ventured to show he was scandaliazed at such light conduct in the pres- sence of the empress. Vous n etez con- tent colonel? Et bien je n’en fiche, refiche et contrefiche,” was the answer of the émpress and the emperor applauded it. That colonel was Marquis de GalliMit. I have, perhaps, told this story on a previous occasion: but it is a good one all the same and will bear repeti- tion. The empress was very fond of playing the soldier. She took a notion one day to hold a review of the regiments garrisoned at Melun and Fontainebleau. Galloping, in her riding habit trimmed with white, at the heal of the squadrons, she was seen, in the absence of the emperor, distributing decorations and promis- ing promotions—all this to the disgust of the soldiers and discontent of the officers: She had a great prediliction for the ceremonious usage of the monarchy; wished the court hunting par- ties to wear Louis XV. costumes of —_ and gold trimmed with red instead of the blue and silver of the Bourbons. She made a display of her respect for monarchical souveniers, and thought that she was showing her wit by re- peating on all occasions, “Il am the only legit- imist there is here.” For al time she could think of nothing but rules of precedence, of court costumes, of the revival of the amusements fashionable under the monarchy, and especially of those dear -to Marie Antoinette—mon type, as she called her, and for whom she had an es pecial reverence. The chapters about the im- rial hunts contain some interesting details. he salaries of the officials were something fabulous. Marshal Magnan, the master of the hunt, received 100,000 francs a year, and a sin- gle day’s hunt woud cost from 15,000 to 40,000 francs. Extravagant as he was, Napoleon III. had fits of economy, one of them on the day when Prince Jerome came with one of his in- ceseant requests for money. The emperor ro- fused, Jerome got angry and exclaimed: It is easy to see that you have nothi of the em- peror about you.” Vou are mistaken,” answer- ed Napoleon. calmly, 1 have his family.” Naturally the empress occupies the first place in this history of a reign of which she was the soul. She was, so to speak, the magnet around which all this microcosm of Compiegne moved: she received the homage of all the sov- erei of Europe, and the most assiduous were the kings of Prussia and Holland. On one of her fete days the Diable a Quatre” was play- ed at Compiegne in costumes, and four of the court danced in tights and short skirts on the stage of the chateau. At the ball which followed the danseuses appeared in their scant attire and had an immense success. The em- press always insisted on the decollete, and her reasons for this were similar to those of Mme. de Maintenon, who as is well known, captured Louis XIV. by the charms of her bosom. The thinnest gauze was not tolerated at court, and one day noticing an old lady in a h-necked dreas, who was uying to hide herself as best she could in one of the rear boxes at Compiegne, the empress sent a chamberlain ordering her to leave the theater at once.
